OOC - Thanks for the predictions so far, and just as a heads-up, I hope to have Supreme TV posted on Sunday or Monday.

I've also been playing up until the end of October...as it turns out, this diary will have a groundbreaking news report posted within the next few days. It actually takes place in Week 4 October, but I just might exercise creative liberty and post the report a few in-game days ahead of schedule...

OOC - Looks like another rainy weekend in Manila and neighboring cities/provinces, so I might be staying home for tonight. That means Supreme TV just might be up earlier than I had projected, so I'm making one last call for predictions before the next show is posted. Not sure if I'll be posting a backstage segment before or after the show, but it may likely take a look at one or both of these things - the Klubb's politics, and KP's upcoming 23rd birthday/the state of his relationship with Dawn the Cheerleader.

SWF Supreme TV Verizon Center (Washington DC, Mid-Atlantic) Tuesday, October 15, 2013 DARK MATCHES: None. SUPREME TV: <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 - Money Promo (88/B+)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_zps8b6695dd.jpg</div> 'Tis the fallout show for Break Like the Wind, and starting this week's Supreme TV off is Rich Money, who hits the ring scowling, clearly upset about what had happened at the last PPV. As he makes his entrance, Duane Fry shows clips of an SWF App exclusive, where Lisa Bowen apparently broke up with Rich Money, tossing her ring on the locker room floor and blaming Money for his performance against Nicky Champion and allowing her father, Barry Bowen to get fired as Commissioner. Money - October 12, 2013, Break Like the Wind. On that day, I lost almost everything I held dear to me. I lost my personal enforcer Marat Khoklov. Though not a close personal friend nor somebody who had interceded numerous times on my behalf, the SWF lost Barry Bowen, a good and fair Commissioner, and a man who was supposed to be my father-in-law. (pauses) What's the matter, MARKS? Still insisting that Barry Bowen had aided me in my quest to reach the top of the SWF mountain with a collective of men aiming for similar goals in The Almighty Dollar? That, pardon my language, is a steaming pile of s---. That's baloney. Malarkey. Nothing but speculation. But because I lost my match against Nicky Champion, a good man lost his means of livelihood, and because I had agreed to this match and cost Mr. Bowen his job, I lost my fiancee. Go ahead and laugh. Lisa Bowen dumped me because not only did her dad get fired, but so did she. But you know why I'm still here? You know why I'm pushing forward and not letting these distractions get to me? Because I STILL HAVE MY MONEY. And because I AM MONEY, always was, always will be. So don't go around on your bulletin boards, your forums, your chat rooms, telling your online friends who have as much of a social life as you do, which is absolutely zilch, saying that I've lost everything, and that this is the end...of what you call my PUSH. Nothing can be farther from the truth, SWF Galaxy. For as sure as I am Rich Money, who is richer than you, better-looking than you, and more privileged than each and every one of you minimum-wage MARKS, I will be back in the championship game. And you know why? (pauses) As the announcers may have told you, the World Heavyweight title match at Let the Games Begin will feature Jack Bruce vs Nicky Champion, on behest of our new acting Commissioner. So the new Commish made sure that Nicky Champion will do more than just keep his job and keep his finishing move by giving him a World title match against this unwashed idol of the masses? Whoever this INTERIM Commissioner is has forgotten one important element in such an important match - MONEY. I understand the new sheriff in town, whoever he is, will make his inaugural speech, or should I call it, an INTERIM SPEECH, later on tonight. One thing he will definitely want to announce is the inclusion of Rich Money in the World Heavyweight title match. And this time, I want it to be a three-way ELIMINATION MATCH. With disqualifications and count-outs. Last thing I want is a couple of bandwagoners from the competition sticking their nose in someone else's business and causing the UNJUST FIRING of the most imposing, most intimidating individual in SWF history, Marat Khoklov. </div></blockquote> <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 - Champion and Money Argue (89/B+)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_jhd3_zps6393cde3.jpg</div> Money's promo is interrupted by none other than Nicky Champion, who enters to a huge pop from the crowd at the Verizon Center, and condescending remarks from Peter Michaels, who seems to be rooting for two kinds of Money now - Big Money, and Rich Money. Champion - Looks like somebody's cryin' over spilled milk, fightin' back the tears in his eyes and desperately putting a positive spin on the two most negative things to happen to him since...since recently! (laughs) To quote Nicky Champion's opponent at Let the Games Begin, you, Rich Money, are RICH WITH NOTHIN'! You've got no faction. No manager. No giant. And though Nicky Champion really hates rubbin' it in, NO FIANCEE. You, sir, have gone from someone who, together with his faction, held each and every belt in the SWF, to a man who has absolutely NOTHIN' LEFT except a zeppelin-full of HOT AIR. Read my lips, Nicky Champion guys and girls...Rich Money is a LOSER! With that, the crowd jeers Money with schoolyard taunts of "LO-SER!", with several fans making the "L" sign and waving their signs that include a few anti-Money and pro-Champion ones... Money (sarcastically) - That was rich, Nicky Champion, but that's not Money. Getting the SWF Galaxy to dump on me like a pack of elementary school kids taunting the weird little outcast. That says a lot, not just about you, Nicky, but about your so-called Nicky Champion guys and girls who have annointed you the biggest free agent signing in SWF history. Real mature, MARKS. Real, real mature. Well, guess what. A few individuals from the competition in L.A., they've stolen your thunder. Champion - Is that an admission, straight from the horse's mouth, that you brought these renegades over to the SWF? (laughs) Richie, Richie, Richie, you sure are makin' a career out of puttin' your stinkin' foot in your mouth! Bon appetit, Rich Money! How's that foot taste like? Probably goes well with a nice, fine WHINE, and don't forget the "H" in that word. But let me cut to the chase here. You want to face Jack Bruce and Nicky Champion for the World Heavyweight title at Let the Games Begin? And you want it to be an elimination match, with DQs and count-outs? I'm gonna leave it up to the interim Commissioner to decide that, but if he says yes, then Nicky Champion will be more than happy to make sure you're the first man eliminated. And you know how I'm gonna do it? (pauses) With a PAPOOSE PILEDRIVER...and a HAWKEYE HAMMER...and THAT WILL BE ALL SHE WROTE, RICH WITH NOTHIN' MONEY! UGH! UGH! UGH! Money - Glad to hear we're on the same page as far as the match is concerned. But for you to accuse me of bringing Messrs. Johnson, Vessey and Hawkins to the SWF? You, like the rest of the MARKS, are all the same. Been that way since people like yourselves accused me of masterminding the 2009 attacks on Jack Bruce, when it was clear that such amateurish execution wasn't, and never will be Money. If you ask me, Nicky, I think it's RDJ behind everything. Champion - From one assumption to another. Well, if you ask Nicky Champion, Nicky Champion's gonna say that it's innocent until proven guilty, and for the meantime, that's the farthest thing from my mind. What's in my mind right now is creamin' the Cream of the Crop and further bankrupting the Moneyman, because at Let the Games Begin, Nicky Champion's not gonna be playin' any games. He's gonna be focusing on only one thing, the World Heavyweight belt, as NICKY CHAMPION!!!! BECOMES!!!! MORE!!!! THAN JUST!!!! A NAAAAAAME!!!!!!!</div></blockquote> <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 - Spade Gets Ready (31/E)</div> Spencer Spade is backstage with Richie Pangrazzio Jr. and Squeeky McClean, as RPJ props up his team, 100% Sneaky, for their upcoming tag match against Texas Justice.

Also helping out to the cause is Squeeky McClean, who doesn't see much action; he's able to get a few moves in against Johnson, but leaves the ring cowering when RDJ tags Vengeance in. Spade nearly gets a pin after landing a Spadesault on RDJ, but he no-sells this move Vengeance-style, and eventually defeats "The Supreme Star" with a Southern Justice (Nadowa) at a little past five minutes.

In fact, it looks like he's particularly mad at Ricky Dale Johnson, whom he simply cannot trust due to his connection with fellow TCWers Bryan Vessey and Wolf Hawkins, both of whom have been quite disruptive over the past week. Gilmore - I can't believe you brought this on, Sean. Vengeance - Thomas. (pauses, as he smiles wryly) You've got to have some major issues with me to be calling me by that name. Gilmore - YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT I'VE GOT ISSUES!!! YOU BROUGHT THAT MAN INTO THE SUPREME WRESTLING FEDERATION, SO WHAT DOES HE DO?!?!? HE BRINGS HIS OWN FRIENDS FROM HOLLYWOOD AND THEY START WALKIN' AROUND LIKE THEIR S--- DON'T STINK!!!! RDJ - Tom, I understand why you're bein' so hostile towards me. You and the rest of the locker room, for that matter. I already said at Break Like the Wind that I came here legally. The Chairman said it himself, he signed me here, and if Vessey and Hawkins followed me over here, it's nothin' but an unfortunate coincidence. But I'd been expectin' this the moment those two stepped in at the World title match. Gilmore - You think that we were born yesterday...you think that the SWF Galaxy are a bunch of rubes, which makes you no different from Rich Money. Or are you two in this together? Is this his latest stunt? RDJ - If Rich was really in with those two, why'd they attack Khoklov? They were out to attack everyone in that ring... J. Bruce - ...and give me my least convincing title defense EEEEEEEE-VERRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! (pauses) I can't say I agree with my man Tom Gilmore, but I know you, RDJ. Man, did me and the PainProc boys give y'all a haaaaaawd taaaaaahhhhm down in Hollywood back in '03, '04! (laughs) All that's water under the bridge, ol' buddy, and I'm glad to... Gilmore - Jack, are you OUT OF YOUR MIND?!?!? Vessey and Hawkins nearly had you. They were out to make us here in Supreme look bad...and in doing so, as you said, cheapened your win and made a mockery of what this promotion stands for...AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, RICKY DALE JOHNSON!!! I THINK I SPEAK FOR THE REST OF THE LOCKER ROOM WHEN I SAY WE DON'T WANT YOUR KIND WITH US, AND I HOPE AND PRAY TO GOD...that the new Commissioner is gonna have the stones to expose you for who you really are...and send you and your friends Hawkins and Vessey packin' your bags and headin' back to California. J. Bruce - Ricky, Vengeance, you'll have to pardon my friend Tom. Personally, I can say that not everyone shares his opinion. (pauses, then clears his throat) It's perfectly understandable, but then again, there are people in the locker room who... Gilmore - Let's get out of here, Jack. The very sight of one of our own, Vengeance, fraternizin' with this COMPANY MAN for the competition...MAKES ME SICK! RDJ - I understand how you feel, Tom. Gilmore - SHUT UP!!!! YOU BETTER KNOW THAT THE MEN UNDA PRESSURE AREN'T THROUGH WITH YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS! And Vengeance...we may have had our differences but that doesn't diminish my respect for you. What would diminish my respect for you...is you hangin' out with those Lone Star punks Johnson and Vessey and that cocky sonuvabitch Hawkins. </div></blockquote> <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 - Randy B., Dawn and The Zim Argue (67/C+)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RandyBumfholealt.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/DawntheCheerleaderalt.jpg</div> Over at the locker room, Dawn the Cheerleader is with her charges, the Pep Rally stable, and we now see a sullen Valiant, still upset over losing his girlfriend and manager Hannah to John Anderson, and fellow members Jack Giedroyc and Randy Bumfhole, both of whom look to be in good spirits. Dawn - WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!!!! We've got all kinds of Americans in the SWF Galaxy, and here in my Pep Rally, we've got two good Americans to go with our proud Brummie Jack Giedroyc. We've got Valiant, an Honorable American. We've got Randy Bumfhole, a Fun-Loving American... Unfortunately for Dawn, her hype promo is hijacked by the sudden arrival of The Zim, whom we haven't seen on TV for a while, following his firing from the New Chase Agency... <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/ZimmyBumfhole_alt.jpg</div> The Zim - ...and you've got The Zim, a Sexual American.

My dear, beloved brother, it's been a while since we've seen each other! R. Bumfhole - If you're here to ask for a handout, Zimmy, forget it. Mom and Dad already told you. You're on your own. Besides, I've already proven who the better Bumfhole is and... The Zim - Don't you get it, Randy? I want to bury the hatchet with you, dear brother! Y'know, bury the hatchet like I bury Little Zimmy deep, DEEP DOWN... (pauses to give his double entendre some effect) ...into the sand, just like we used to do when we were little kids playin' in the beach. Don't you remember? Dawn - Zimmy, that was disgusting. The Zim (ignoring Dawn) - You're right. You've proven yourself very well, Randy. Now let me prove myself to you, to Valiant, to Jack, and to you, Dawn the Cheerleader. You've got an Honorable American and a Fun-Loving American, but you don't need a Hardcore American like Chris Caulfield joinin' your little club! You need a Hardcore American like The Zim! A Hardcore SEXUAL American! (does his signature pelvic thrusts) BOO-YEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!! Dawn - Even more disgusting. (shaking her head) Let's get out of here, Randy.

Still, this battle of former Almighty Dollar stable members is quite an interesting, and open one, with Davids showing a lot of determination throughout the match. A Quarterback Sack on Remo at 3:20 looks good enough to end the match, but the Alpha Dog kicks out, and spends the next two minutes venting his frustrations out on Davids, convincingly taking him out with the Destroyer at a little past 5:30. Remo gets a mixed reaction from the crowd owing to the buildup for a possible face turn, and he immediately storms out of the ring following the win, disregarding Richie Pangrazzio Jr. as he heads to the locker room with the cameraman following him back... WINNER - Remo in 5:36</div></blockquote> <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 - Remo Goes on Strike (76/B-)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Remo_alt5-1_zps533b9069.jpg </div> "WHERE'S RICKY DALE!!!!", growls Remo as he enters the locker room, desperately searching for the polarizing TCW pickup, whom a lot of the workers don't trust at this point, due to the Vessey/Hawkins attacks. Remo apparently is one of those who believe Ricky Dale Johnson brought the two ex-Syndicate guys to the SWF, and with that in mind, he blames him in a way for the attack that led to his losing the three-way World title match at Break Like the Wind... Remo - Alright, Ricky Dale, it's time to get movin' along... RDJ - Remo, like I told Tom, if you don't trust me at this point, I understand. If you hate me, then that's fine. But if you could only hear me out for a few moments. (pauses) I've been put in a very difficult position... Remo - ...and I don't wanna hear about it. Lemme tell you this, RDJ. I'm in a very foul mood these days. Those two pals of yours, they ruined what could have been my best chance to regain the World title. As a result, I don't get no title shots for the next four months. You think that's cool? Of course you do...you Hollywood people are here to stir up s--- and take our jobs. Right now all I want to do is beat the livin' crap outta you, but the Alpha Dog's gonna show some uncharacteristic mercy. (pauses) Seein' how you made my friends Spencer and Squeeky look bad out there, and how YOUR friends cost me what shoulda been a sure win at Break Like the Wind, we are goin' on STRIKE. Anybody else who'd like to join us can go right ahead, 'coz as long as you're here with your ulterior motives, this locker room's always gonna be too big for some of us.

DeLarge - Greetings, SWF Galaxy. My name is Maximillion DeLarge, but everybody calls me Maxie for short. For the past few weeks, I've had the pleasure of working with former SWF World Tag Team champs Hero Squad, and I can tell you that Eric Eisen has nothing on these two. You think he's the next big action hero in Hollywood? Well, I think that Adam and Jack are two actors who can convey a wide range of emotions...especially that of pleasure. And it will be my pleasure to welcome them back to the SWF in November, as this movie, a Henry J. "H.A." Ackerman production, will be the be-all and end-all of films starring SWF Superstars. I promise you, SWF Galaxy, you will be seeing Adam and Jack like you never saw 'em before...and they're gonna be more than just child-friendly comic book heroes when they return.

Peter Michaels, heelish as ever, derides Giedroyc as "one of the mediocre talents who, together with Chris Caulfield, ran DaVE to the ground", and he immediately gets countered by both Duane Fry and Jason Azaria, who accuse "the Dean of SWF Announcers" of homering for Brandon James and The New Chase Agency. Michaels denies this, and is forced to eat his words as Giedroyc gets off to a fast start, whipping Steve Frehley against the turnbuckle and shoulder-ramming him repeatedly. That doesn't faze Frehley much, though it's only at 3:30 when he gets some substantial offense in, short-arming Giedroyc, then going for a splash and a cover. Still, he isn't able to pull away at this point, as everything looks open till 7:40, when Giedroyc Crashes On the Dark Destroyer! Frehley kicks out, and as Giedroyc runs the ropes to set up a running elbow drop, Frehley trips him, stands up, and goes for his trademark finisher, the Frehley's Comet. Frehley goes over again, but Giedroyc did look quite good in a losing effort. WINNER - Frehley in 9:03</div></blockquote> <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 - Faith Suspends Frehley (81/B)</div> The match is over and Steve Frehley's way of celebrating a win is beating down on the fallen Jack Giedroyc and taking him out of the ring to bash his head against the announce table, then send him crashing against the steel steps! His attack is quickly broken up by ring music - Christian Faith's - and the Dark Destroyer stops dead in his tracks as Faith emerges, mic in hand as he makes his way down the ramp in a wheelchair. As it turns out, Faith is the SWF's acting Commissioner following Barry Bowen's storyline firing. <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/ChristianFaith.jpg</div> Faith - Not another move, Steve. It's vicious assaults like that that cheapen your image. As the SWF's acting Commissioner, I have some good news and some bad news for you, Steve. Frehley (off-mic) - UP YOURS, FAITH! And I can't believe the height of your suckin' up to the man... (grabs a microphone) So you're the acting Commissioner now, huh? I give you the beatin' of a lifetime and effectively end your career, and this is what your best bud behind the scenes Richard Eisen does? He puts you in power? Typical of your kind... Faith - Number one, Mr. Eisen gave me this job because he trusts in me. Number two, it'll take weeks, maybe a couple months, before an actual Commissioner can be hired, and I don't know if it's gonna be me. Number three, here's the good news-bad news scenario. Good news, Steve - you're still going to Let the Games Begin as one of two challengers to Tom Gilmore for Supreme Heavyweight. Frehley - Tell me somethin'...THAT I DON'T F---IN' KNOW! Faith - The bad news? I am putting you on SUSPENSION until Let the Games Begin, not only for your unwarranted attacks on me, but your unwarranted attacks on other SWF Superstars. This has gone too far, Steve, and I'm sorry I have to do this to you, but this is a punishment that doesn't even fit the gravity of your crimes. (pauses) Can security please escort Mr. Frehley out of the building? With that, three security guards arrive at ringside to forcibly escort Frehley out, as the crowd once again breaks out that "Na Na, Hey Hey, Goodbye" chant at the Dark Destroyer. Faith then proceeds to make his first-ever speech as the SWF's acting Commissioner.</div></blockquote> <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 - Faith is Acting Commissioner (83/B)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/ChristianFaith.jpg</div> Faith - Thank you, SWF Galaxy, and thank you, Washington D.C. for that warm welcome. Glad to be in the nation's capital, standing in front of you and making my first address as the SWF's interim Commissioner. (pauses) I know there are a lot of you out there who want to know whether the match against Steve Frehley and the assault I suffered at his hands following the match will push me to retire. When I announced that I will be going on semi-retirement due to my age and my recent injuries, I did emphasize that it will be a semi-retirement, not a full retirement. And I still stand by those words. This wheelchair is a temporary setback, and I expect to be walking again by next week. In fact, I feel confident enough to wrestle at Let the Games Begin if needed... (pauses as he acknowledges the huge pop he gets from the crowd) ...and speaking of that event, let me tell you a few things about what you can expect. Let the Games Begin will be ran for a 24th time this year, making it one of the SWF's oldest pay-per-view spectaculars. I remember my first time in the event...but pardon me if I'm having a senior moment...who were my teammates? All I can remember were our opponents...Alex Pierce, Mike Barstow, Brick Fantana, Mike Kinsey... Azaria (from announce table) - You were with Damon Carruthers, Warren Young and back when he was a fresh-faced youngster like yourself back then...Dennis Butler! That was, of course, before he became Mr. Supreme. Faith - Thanks, Jason, a.k.a. the SWF announce team's Man of 1,000 Facts, a real walking encyclopedia of wrestling, and I mean that as a compliment. (pauses) Now Let the Games Begin has evolved so much in those years, and is more than just about 4-on-4 elimination tag action. Though I can rest assure you we'll have two or three of those matches, especially given the plethora of factions we have going around. As for the other matches, I have decided to go with three-way elimination matches for at least one of the big belts, and that is not in any way due to Rich Money's influence. For Supreme Heavyweight, Tom "Angry" Gilmore will be defending against Steve Frehley, and the winner of next week's Ricky Dale Johnson vs Eric Eisen match. (pauses) That's right, I can corroborate RDJ's legitimacy as one of two huge signing coups the SWF has pulled off in 2013, the other one being Nicky Champion. And speaking of Nicky, who has long been denied a title due to the reign of terror that preceded me... (pauses as the crowd jeers "BAR-RY!" even if Barry Bowen is kayfabe-fired) ...he'll get his chance against Jack Bruce...and PROBABLY Rich Money. Now many of you may have noticed Rich's tendency to let matches drag on for minutes upon minutes, which is not a knock against his ability, because I have to acknowledge he is one of the finest the SWF has seen in its history. But since he seems to take extreme pleasure in dragging these matches out, either to punish his foes or get good press...he will have three chances to make World Heavyweight a three-way elimination as well. In his first chance, he will have to beat his opponent in less than 15 minutes. If that doesn't happen...he'll have 12 minutes to win in his second chance. And in his third, and last chance, he'll have to beat a 10-minute clock. (pauses) Otherwise...he will join Remo, quite ironically, must I add, among those who won't get a title shot till February 2014. I've also gotten a few questions on both Twitter and Facebook regarding the presence of two men who had tainted the World title match at Break Like the Wind. And those men are Bryan Vessey and Andrew "Wolf" Hawkins. One question is regarding the World title...do I vacate it because of Jack Bruce's arguably cheap win? First of all, I didn't find it cheap. He was down, Remo was down, Marat Khoklov was down. He won with his finisher, and the way I see it, he had more to recover from, having been attacked by Richie Pangrazzo and his baseball bat. And secondly, it was, like most three-way dances, a no-DQ, no-countout affair. That said, I am not vacating the World Heavyweight title... <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/WolfHawkins_zpse68bca38.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/BryanVessey_zps8e83457b.jpg</div> Faith is barely able to say those words when he gets jumped in the ring by the very same men who are seemingly here in the SWF to take over the promotion and cause havoc and bedlam all across Supreme! Bryan Vessey and Wolf Hawkins make their way from the stands once again, and forcibly knock Faith off his wheelchair, with Vessey and Hawkins alternating kicks on the injured knee. They then carry the 290-pound Faith back to the locker room, as the announcers and everyone in attendance look on in shock.</div></blockquote> <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 - Hawkins and Bryan Vessey Take Faith Hostage (84/B+)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/WolfHawkins_zpse68bca38.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/BryanVessey_zps8e83457b.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/ChristianFaith.jpg</div> Following the commercial break, we cut to the Commissioner's office, as Bryan Vessey and Wolf Hawkins - who, as we find out here, isn't using that name anymore in the SWF - carry Faith inside his office and forcibly have him sit on his chair. Just like they did back in the TCW days, Hawkins is the main talker here, coming across as a cocky young man who sees himself as the top guy in town, while Vessey speaks in a more restrained voice, doing most of the "speaking" with his intense glare and the knowledge that he's the type of person who could snap on you with violent rage if you're not careful. B. Vessey - Feelin' comfortable where you're at, Faith? Feelin' nice and cozy in your Commissioner's chair? Faith - What do you want, Bryan...Wolf... Hawkins - AOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!! That wolf-ey enough for you, Supreme Fossil? Here in these parts, you shall address me by my given name, Andrew Hawkins, or Drew for short. I would also prefer Mr. Hawkins, but as long as you don't call me Wolf, we're all cool, okay? Now that we're done gettin' to know each other... B. Vessey - ...you better give us what we want. Faith - Are you...are the two of you...working for the competition? Hawkins - We WERE workin' for the competition...until that crusty Brit decided to give us pay cuts. So as you can see, Supreme Fossil, we need jobs. Faith - Were you...did Ricky Dale Johnson...did he send you here? I believe that he didn't...but I just...want to make sure... Hawkins - That fellow fossil of yours? (laughs) If you're listenin', Ricky, we're just messin' with 'ya. We know how Mr. C's new pay structure is sendin' you to the poorhouse. 16 years, Ricky, 16 years. And that's the thanks he gives you...a pat on the back and a cut to the pay, all in the name of makin' sure his business is right-sized. B. Vessey - You know you wanna join us, Ricky. Vengeance, you know, he ain't the only 40-somethin' fogey from Texas workin' in these parts. Faith - You didn't answer the question. Did Ricky Dale Johnson send you here? B. Vessey - Yes...and no. Hawkins - We came here together, but it was only he who got the job. Funny that a company that's supposedly tryin' to get younger signed him up, but then again, Bryan over here ain't no spring chicken himself. B. Vessey - So there you have it. Our demands are simple. I want you to call up the Chairman. Dial Mr. Eisen's number and have him talk contract with us. The "negotiations" are broken up by a knock on the door, as one of the stage hands has retrieved Faith's wheelchair... Hawkins - Who is it? Stage Hand (OC) - It's Mark! I've got Mr. Faith's wheelchair... Hawkins (laughing) - Perfect equipment for a Supreme Fossil like yourself. (to the Stage Hand, who apprehensively opens the door) Make it snappy, poindexter, and don't you dare think about callin' the cops! You probably know who we are, and you know what we can do... (locks the door again) Now as Bryan was sayin'...all you have to do if you wanna get back on that wheelchair, if you want us to leave you alone...is to call Mr. Eisen and ask him to sign us. B. Vessey - Not just Drew and myself. We got another friend who's sick of the way things are goin' over in California. Faith - The locker room is already up in arms about what you two are doing, and a lot of them are giving Ricky Dale Johnson a hard time. I don't think it would be a good idea to... With that, Vessey punches Faith on the face, sending him reeling as he turns Faith's desk into a shambles with the stroke of a hand. He then grabs the monitor of Faith's desktop PC, hastily unplugs it, then smashes it on the ground, laughing evilly as a faint smile crosses Hawkins' face. Hawkins - I don't think you're understandin' us, Faith. We're just here to get jobs and show you doofuses how we do things in California. For all his penny-pinchin' ways, Faith, Tommy knew good wrestling, and he knew a winner when he saw one. I'm the closest the SWF is ever gonna get to Mr. C himself. We're here to TAKE OVER YOUR PODUNK PROMOTION, and the only way to do it...is to get hired. B. Vessey - Don't make this harder for all of us, Mr. Acting Commissioner. Give Tricky Rick a ring. Hawkins - And put him on conference. The announcers call for another commercial as the tension continues at the Commissioner's office, but not before Jason Azaria denounces the actions of his former colleagues, adding that the Syndicate had long planned something like this, but only got around doing it when Hawkins and Vessey's contracts had expired. Even Peter Michaels is disgusted by this, though being a heel announcer, he hints that a greater power is behind this all, one whose initials are most likely R, D, and J.</div></blockquote> <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 - Reed Gets Ready (54/D)</div></div></blockquote> <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;">Chris Caulfield and Randy Bumfhole (w/Dawn the Cheerleader) vs Brandon James and J.

Gordon Reed, and Caulfield's new friends from the Pep Rally, Randy Bumfhole in particular. With a few cold nods of her head and equally cold commands to her boys, Emma Chase "directs traffic", and is devoid of emotion early on, as Reed pulls out one of his old moves from his lucha days, a moonsault on Randy B. Bumfhole kicks out of that, and we see this match, for the most part, prove to be open between both teams, with no prolonged isolation attempts. At 9:30, all four men are in the ring, following tags to legal men Reed and Caulfield. In the chaos of it all, Chase hits the ring, bashes Caulfield from behind with the Nothing to Lose briefcase, and James takes advantage by going for the cover following a Big Money Move to add salt to the wounds. This one's a win for the troubled Chase boys, and sweet revenge following the surprise loss at Break Like the Wind.

Emma Chase then takes a microphone to cut a promo on the apparent Pep Rallyist-in-training Caulfield, as Peter Michaels continues to put the Agency over and laud Chase for her brilliance in interfering at just the right time... Chase - Like a fish out of water, Chris Caulfield has tried to succeed in a non-hardcore setting, but has failed. Face it, Chris. You will always be a purveyor of garbage wrestling. Why don't you be like us? We saw the forest for the trees long before Vibert shut down his Mickey Mouse promotion. We realized, long before you did, and you still don't, that we were the fishes out of water in DaVE. James - We had far more brains and better business acumen than garbage wrestlers like yourself, like Vin Tanner and JD Morgan who are on the wrong side of 40 and still whoring themselves out for minuscule paychecks and cauliflower ears. Chase - That's what has helped Brandon over here become a catch-all future champion by virtue of his holding the black Nothing to Lose Briefcase. And while the contract therein entitles him to a championship match of his choice, we're going for the jugular. Can you say the same about yourself, Chris? James - Supreme Heavyweight. World Heavyweight. Be that as it may, it matters not which title I gun for. The title holders, whoever they may be at the time, will not know it when I cash in. And as far as invoking the second rematch clause is concerned...let it be known that The New Chase Agency may have two game-changers onboard at Let the Games Begin, or before that. And their names aren't Vessey or Hawkins. You are going to have to hope your new friends at the Pep Rally boast the same level of synergy as the Agency would come November.

Eisen - MISTER Eisen. B. Vessey - Whatever, whatever, Mr. Eisen. Hawkins - You're telling us that in order to get signed to the SWF, we have to beat this company's top three champions? Faith (under his breath) - I have Faith... B. Vessey - SHUT UP!!!! R. Eisen - In order to get hired, Bryan Vessey and Drew Hawkins will have to face Tom Gilmore, Jack Bruce and Valiant in a two-on-three handicap match. Best I can do right now. I really can't stay long on the phone... Hawkins - Put down that phone, Mr. Eisen, and we're leavin' your most loyal company man, your acting Commissioner, in his office till sun-up. That's right, Mr. Eisen, till Supreme TV goes off the air, we ain't leavin' the Verizon Center, even if the cops come poundin' on this door. B. Vessey - We don't like those stipulations, Mr. Eisen. R. Eisen - What you are doing, Messrs. Hawkins and Vessey, is a criminal offense, and if I didn't consider you such assets to this company, I would have had you two ARRESTED! Now what is it you want? B. Vessey (pausing for effect) - Your son. Hawkins - What's the matter, Mr. Eisen...afraid? Afraid that little Eric's gonna tweak his surgically-repaired knee? (laughs) We know how useless he normally is, Mr. Eisen. We just want an insurance policy of sorts, because no matter how you look at it, two-on-three ain't fair. But just in case he's of any help to us...hey, at least you can give your spoiled youngest son another raise...which you will be able to afford anyway, because we're more Money than the Rich one himself. B. Vessey - We took Mr. C's company out of the red as part of his Syndicate. R. Eisen (pausing) - I'm sorry. I'm used to hearing people say bad things about Eric's wrestling. Been there, heard that. But I don't think I'd want him hanging around people like yourselves. The company he keeps right now is bad enough as it is! Choose somebody else. Hawkins - Look here, Eisen, do you want us to let your traumatized Supreme Fossil of a friend carry on with his duties as acting Commissioner, or do you want us to block out the rest of Supreme TV until you give in to our demands? B. Vessey - Think about it, Mr. Eisen. Faith's got a bum knee and he's sufferin' enough as it is. You can trust us. Hawkins - All we want, aside from those contracts, is for Eric to join us as our third man. Just for one night. As we said, we've got our own third man comin' along in a couple weeks. R. Eisen (sounding very pressured) - ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! Just promise not to corrupt my Eric any more than those fraternity buddies of his already have. Hawkins - No need to get your panties in a bunch, stage daddy. We're just borrowing your son for one night, one match. As Vessey and Hawkins finally leave Faith be and exit his office, they run into some policemen who were apparently called into duty by concerned SWF officials. The two renegade wrestlers tell the cops that everything is under control - "just like the name of that s---ty PPV from last month," says Hawkins - and that all has been sorted out to their liking.</div></blockquote> <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 - Black Gets Ready (44/D-)</div></div></blockquote> <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;"> <div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/sdOLFtk9joI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher ground w/lyrics on description"></iframe></div></div> (w/Haley Buck and Elmo Benson) vs <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-vQm3z-4wE" rel="external nofollow">Rich Money</a> (81/B)</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/GregBlack_zps4ea5506c.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_zps8b6695dd.jpg</div> Considering Greg Black's "jobber to the stars" status when wrestling in singles, this looks like a logically easy win for the Moneyman, but the main theme in this match is how Black continually comes back following each Rich Money impact move or finisher. As such, this match is rife with false finishes, even as Money dominates for most of the way. Black also has a few moments where he looks close to winning, such as an STF at 7:30 that Money nearly taps out of, and a superplex soon thereafter, but he starts losing his focus a bit at the ten-minute mark, when referee Darren Smith tells Elmo Benson and Haley Buck to leave, after Benson had subtly tried to shake the ropes and throw Money off to foil the Dollars from Heaven. Still, Black keeps on with his determined, fast-paced attacks, and even hits the Fade to Black on Money at 14:30, which he kicks out of but is good enough to have the match go beyond 15 minutes - that means Money has wasted his first chance to head to the World Heavyweight title match at Let the Games Begin! Money finally wins it at close to 16:30, blasting Black with the Bank Roll after catching him unawares.

While Vessey in particular is on a roll with his sundry suplex variations, including a near-pin on a fisherman's suplex on Valiant, Eisen noticeably tries to make his team look bad, so as to prevent them from being hired. Following an Eisen tag to Hawkins at around 5:30, the Supreme Iconoclast gets an earful from Vessey, and from that point forward, he starts playing along, perhaps seizing an opportunity to have Bryan Vessey convince his nephew Cameron to join the Entourage. After a couple false finishes from Gilmore, including a Texas Deathlock that nearly causes Hawkins to tap out, Eisen steps up for his team at around 9:40, landing the Supremacy on Gilmore. Sam Sparrow counts ONE...TWO...but Gilmore kicks out at a hair of a second before three! This move results in about five minutes of the TCW guys and Eisen isolating Gilmore, and it takes him a while to get back into the game and find enough strength to make a counter. That happens at 15:00, when Gilmore slides away from the Full Moon Rising, and starts making the crawl to his corner to make the tag! Hawkins tries to do the same, and at 15:40, Valiant and Vessey are in on the hot tags! Valiant, still steaming over the loss of his manager/girlfriend, attacks Vessey like a man possessed, and goes for a V-Split at around 16:50, followed by a kickout. He then tags Bruce in, and he's also unloading on the foes with extra intensity, finally attacking Drew Hawkins with the New York Minute at close to 18 minutes! Bruce climbs the top rope for what could be a legdrop, but Sparrow conveniently ignores Vessey, who crotches Bruce by shaking the top rope, and helps set up a Full Moon Rising from a quickly recovered Hawkins the moment Bruce returns to the ring! Sparrow counts ONE...TWO...THREE, and the crowd erupts in boos as the two invading ex-TCW guys and their unnamed crony are now officially hired by Supreme. WINNERS - Vessey, Hawkins and Eisen in 18:31. Bryan Vessey, Drew Hawkins and their third fellow TCW "invader" are HIRED by the SWF.</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35955" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>SWF Supreme TV Grade - 87/B+ TCW Total Wrestling Grade - 76/B- Increased Popularity in 3 Regions SWF Supreme TV Rating - 16.67 (New Record) Trending on Twitter - #BryanVessey #DrewHawkins #TCWTakeover #WeHaveFaith #WheresEdd</div></blockquote>

OOC - Looks like we'll be having not just one, but two posts separating High Stakes and Uprising - one, a dirt sheet report, and the other a look at the birthday boy, KP Avatar, as he turns 23 years old. But for now, let's check out High Stakes and see if somebody else will be biting the figurative dust and becoming the first elimination of Season 2! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> SWF High Stakes Reitz Arena (Maryland, Mid-Atlantic) Wednesday, October 16, 2013 CAST: (Rookie - Mentor) Alan Parent - John Anderson Casey Valentine - Franklin D. Huggins III Erick Leigh - Des Davids Jacob Jett - Angry Gilmore Justin Sensitive - 24/7 Partay Dudez Nick "The Architect" Wright - Joshua Taylor Rob "Masked Cougar" Hayes - Emma Chase/J. Gordon Reed Rodney Ekuma - Nicky Champion HIGH STAKES: <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Jett Wins Mentor's Poll (19/E)</div> One by one, Rory McCallum calls out the Season 2 rookies, along with their mentors, and each of them hits the ring in order of their Week 6 Mentor's Poll rankings - Jacob Jett, Nick "The Architect" Wright, Casey Valentine, Rodney Ekuma, Justin Sensitive, Masked Cougar, Erick Leigh and Alan Parent. As he interviews the rookies, McCallum is especially pointed in his criticism of Parent - why isn't he bringing it? Why does he keep acting like a pushover? As Parent tries to explain that he's trying his best to keep up, Justin Sensitive interrupts him and says that not only is he "fifth out of seven" (obviously disregarding Parent), it's also a "travesty" that the mentors saw it fit to rank him in the bottom half. Sensitive also has some words for Jacob Jett, and he and Casey Valentine both agree that Jett's going far because his girlfriend, High Stakes announcer Katie Cameron, is manipulating the polls. Jett tells the two heels that "maybe you two haven't been working hard enough", and the three nearly come to blows, which forces McCallum to book a tag match pitting Valentine and Sensitive against Jett and Rodney Ekuma. MENTOR'S POLL WINNER - Jett, two immunity points. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Ekuma Rants About Champion (78/B)</div> Speaking to Eve Runcord backstage after the commercial break and before the match, Rodney Ekuma says, in a mumbly tone, that he didn't help his mentor Nicky Champion at the last High Stakes because he only looks out for himself - "you simply last longer that way if you look out for number one." When Runcord says that that might cost him some in the next Mentor's Poll, Ekuma snarls that she's just an interviewer, and that as a non-wrestler (Runcord actually has a bit of a grappling background), she has no idea about what High Stakes rookies go through. He then walks out of the interview, ever the surly loner he has been over the past few weeks, though surprisingly, he's still classified as a babyface. <div style="text-align:center;">Jacob Jett (w/Tom "Angry" Gilmore) and Rodney Ekuma (w/Nicky Champion) vs Casey Valentine (w/Franklin D. Huggins III) and Justin Sensitive (w/24/7 Partay Dudez) (35/E)</div> This is the first of two rookie-vs-rookie tag matches for the evening, and here we see how well the top storyline bullies work with each other, as opposed to the lack of coordination between "Mutt and Jeff", as Jerry Eisen calls them - the diminutive Jacob Jett and the hulking Rodney Ekuma. Ekuma is made to look near-unstoppable in the ring, using his Hawaiian Crush to knock the lights out of Justin Sensitive at 3:50, though the cover is quickly broken up by an interfering Casey Valentine. Ekuma also makes short work of Valentine, catching him and bodyslamming him after a missile dropkick attempt, and when he tags Jett in, we hear Katie Cameron especially cheering him on as he uses those fast-paced, high-impact moves on both Valentine and Sensitive, including an Emergency Landing on Sensitive at 7:30. However, mentor Franklin Huggins tries to distract Shane Stones, running in with the Tau Alpha Epsilon paddle, which allows Valentine to run in with his own foreign object,a chair, and bash Jett with it; Cameron cannot believe Ekuma just stood there shaking his head. This allows Sensitive to groggily cover Jett, and the heel team to end their losing streak with this dirty victory. WINNERS - Sensitive and Valentine in 8:05. Casey Valentine and Justin Sensitive get one immunity point each. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Ekuma Beats Down on Jett (15/F)</div> As the heel rookies and their respective mentors exit the ring celebrating, Rodney Ekuma enters the ring and looks down on Jett, screaming at Nicky Champion and Tom Gilmore to stay out of this, as it's between him and Jett. Peter Michaels defends Ekuma's actions as being borne out of a desire to win, and Katie Cameron is up in arms as the big Hawaiian delivers a piledriver to Jett - a Papoose Piledriver, like Nicky Champion's, no less! "That's your move, Nicky!", yells Ekuma before repeating the move on the hapless Jett. Both Cameron and Jerry Eisen express their disgust with Ekuma's actions, as his heel turn was a complete success. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Valentine Wins High Stakes Obstacle Course (19/E)</div> Tonight's first challenge involves the same obstacle course from Season 1, and Rory McCallum jogs the SWF Galaxy's memory by first talking about the setup - tires, three barriers of increasing heights, a balance beam, a yellow rectangle for push-ups, a cart to be pushed back to the yellow start/finish line. It's very simple and straightforward, and winning this challenge gets you two immunity points. The results: 1. Valentine - 35.5 2. Parent - 36.0 3. Jett - 38.8 4. Sensitive - 41.7 5. Architect - 41.9 6. Cougar - 42.4 7. Leigh - 45.0 8. Ekuma - 45.9 Host/authority figure/head trainer Rory McCallum puts Alan Parent over and congratulates him on "showing mucho effort" after he breaks Laz McKenzie's record from Season 1, but Valentine beats his time by five-tenths of a second. McCallum also has some kind words for Jett, who finished third despite Rodney Ekuma having annihilated him after their tag match defeat. Speaking of Ekuma, Champion looks very upset with him, not just for finishing last, but also for his unwarranted attack on Jett. But he's not as upset as J. Gordon Reed appears to be with Masked Cougar - he appears to be telling the fun babyface that he isn't reaching the "gold standard" the Chase Agency is known for in the SWF. CHALLENGE WINNER - Casey Valentine, two immunity points. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Patriot Gets Ready (9/F)</div> You better believe it - the Masked Patriot's coming back for one night only! He jumps up and down to psyche himself up, as mentor Des Davids does the same and leads him on to a "USA! USA!" chant before the unmasked outcasts (the overly-nice Parent and the weirdo Architect) vs masked men matchup gets underway... <div style="text-align:center;">Masked Patriot (w/Des Davids) and Masked Cougar (w/Ms. Emma Chase and J. Gordon Reed) vs Alan Parent (w/John Anderson) and The Architect (w/Joshua Taylor (32/E)</div> And now we have another rookie tag match,and Peter Michaels is so unimpressed with these four that he decides to keep his mouth shut, except for a few snide comments from time to time. Now that High Stakes is back in America, Alan Parent gets booed by the fans despite being a babyface, while The Architect's OTT style and technical skills shine through, as he reverses an old-school Masked Patriot sleeper into one of his own - a move he apparently calls Draftsmanship 101. Still, Patriot is able to tag Masked Cougar in, and he spends the fifth to seventh minutes of the match popping the crowd with his daredevil moves, including a hurricanrana on Parent and a Cougar Pounce that unfortunately misses the mark! That allows Parent to tag The Architect in, and thanks to the distraction of John Anderson and Hannah making out at ringside, Architect is able to land a facebuster on Cougar and set him up for an easy Blueprint, and the win. WINNERS - Parent and The Architect in 7:56. Alan Parent and The Architect get one immunity point each. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - High Stakes Promo Challenge II (29/E)</div> The second of two promo challenges, this one is different from the first as the subject of the promo would be any one of the rookies' fellow neophytes, or any one of the High Stakes mentors or announcers. Attacking one's fellow rookie during this challenge is tantamount to automatic disqualification, and no one can duplicate the other's promo subject. After the commercial break, the results are in, and Casey Valentine wins a second challenge for the day! Peter Michaels remarks that Valentine is on quite a roll tonight, and that he's making a good case for winning this season before we even reach the halfway mark. 1. Valentine (Topic - Jerry Eisen/Comments - Probably the best pure stick man when it comes to ranting about a fellow worker, even if it's Eric Eisen's nerdy brother Jerry.) 2. Jett (Topic - Katie Cameron/Comments - Guy can speak, but his topic was waaaayyyy too mushy. The fans loved it, though!) 3. Architect (Topic - Alan Parent/Comments - Somehow, the real-life Nicholas Lloyd Wright - hence the ring name - keeps his third-person egomaniac shtick from ever getting boring.) 4. Cougar (Topic - J. Gordon Reed/Comments - A pleasant surprise as Cougar rants about his new co-mentor.) 5. Sensitive (Topic - Jacob Jett/Comments - Not an inspired outing for Sensitive, who overdoes the short jokes.) 6. Leigh (Topic - Peter Michaels/Comments - He'll have to show a lot more to prove his worth on the mic, even if he chose an interesting subject.) 7. Ekuma (Topic - Nicky Champion/Comments - Still a marble-mouthed mess, even if he's getting over as "that rookie who hates everybody.") 8. Parent (Topic - The Architect/Comments - Arch looked disgusted by Parent's saccharine putting-over promo. McCallum looked like he wanted to laugh, because this guy's both bland AND nervous.) CHALLENGE WINNER - Casey Valentine, two immunity points. <div style="text-align:center;">Darryl Devine and Joshua Taylor vs The Can-Am Animals (68/C+)</div> Earlier on the show, the announcers promised two non-mentors guesting in the evening's final match, and those guests are Darryl Devine as Josh Taylor's de facto teammate, and Edd Stone as one half of Franklin Huggins' regular tag team, The Can-Am Animals. There's really no storyline to this match, except as the proverbial sorbet to cleanse the palate of all the rawness from the little-known rookies. As Darryl Devine has Edd Stone in a headlock early on in the match, Jerry Eisen teases the possibility of Devine being a mentor on a future High Stakes season, but Peter Michaels shoots this down, saying that he's got his "lousy rock music and worthless Shooting Star belt, why'd he have time to guide the careers of the SWF's future stars?" Stone, as usual, gets the crowd worked up with his post-impact move Stonerizing dance, and caps off a spinning heel kick on Taylor with his trademark "EDD-FU!!!" yell. Though the match lasts awfully long for one that doesn't connect to any storyline, it's a very solid one nonetheless, with no shortage of eye-opening moves from these relative youngsters, all of which were either in TCW or USPW at the start of the year. Who wins it for whose team? Why, it's Edd Stone, who declares that the Party's Over as he lands his finisher on Taylor at close to 11:30. WINNER - The Can-Am Animals in 11:36 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - High Stakes Elimination (43/D-)</div> Rory McCallum is in the ring as we have our next moment of truth - will somebody be eliminated this week on High Stakes? The bottom three from the last Mentor's Poll are standing side-by-side - Masked Cougar, Alan Parent and Erick Leigh - and McCallum gives his assessment of how each of them stands at the six-week mark. Masked Cougar, says McCallum, has gone through a rough stretch, especially in the challenges, and while his mic work is improving, he's still a work in progress. His work in the ring, however, proves to be his saving grace, as the mentors (50 percent of the vote) and the SWF Galaxy (the remaining 50 percent, thank you SWF App!) have voted to keep him in. Alan Parent, on the other hand, continues to underwhelm in almost every area, though his performance in the obstacle course was an eye-opener. He needs a lot of work on toughening up and should be himself rather than a "half-baked Haruki Kudo clone." Erick Leigh's weakness, like Parent and Cougar, is his mic skills, and as far as his ring skills are concerned, he's only hurting himself by insisting on a style of wrestling that went out of vogue several decades ago. Parent, according to McCallum, seems to have gotten a "pity vote", because if it was up to him, he'd be packing his bags after tonight's show. Instead, he barely hangs on to fight another week, while Leigh was voted down soundly by both mentors and fans, which means Erick Leigh is the first man to bow from competition in the second season of High Stakes. Leigh exchanges handshakes with his fellow rookies Masked Cougar, Jacob Jett and Alan Parent, and thanks Des Davids for being one helluva mentor for a young man who simply wanted to "kick it old school" and pay tribute to the Kingmans, the Morettis, the Hensons, the Markses and the W.G. Reginalds of the wrestling world. "Good riddance," spits Peter Michaels. "Once again, Erick Leigh has proved that you can't go old-school unless you've lived old-school!" HIGH STAKES SEASON TWO STANDINGS (WEEK 6): Justin Sensitive - 4-2 The Architect - 4-2 Casey Valentine - 3-3 Jacob Jett - 3-3 Masked Cougar - 3-3 Rodney Ekuma - 3-3 Alan Parent - 2-4 Erick Leigh - 1-5 (ELIMINATED - WEEK 6) IMMUNITY POINTS AS OF WEEK 6: Casey Valentine - 7 Nick "The Architect" Wright - 5 Jacob Jett - 4 Rodney Ekuma - 4 Erick Leigh - 2 (ELIMINATED) Alan Parent - 1 Justin Sensitive - 1 Masked Cougar - 1 <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 - 62/C All rookies except Masked Cougar were used too much.

POOR MONEY! - WHY THE SWF'S HOTTEST HEEL HAS COOLED IN RECENT MONTHS

By Pro Wrestling Hits Staff

Friday, October 18, 2013

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RichMoney_zps8b6695dd.jpg</div>

He's lost everything. His stable, his Supreme Heavyweight title, his enforcer, the Commissioner he used to pay off and curry favor with, the heel referee who now seems to have gone with the hotter, newer heels, and finally, his fiancee. Rich Money, the character, once had it all (his always-vast reserves of money notwithstanding), but now, the former Almighty Dollar leader finds himself with his back against the wall, with acting Commissioner Christian Faith forcing him to win his matches within a certain amount of time in order to fight against Jack Bruce and Nicky Champion for the SWF World Heavyweight title. Rich Money is in the figurative poorhouse of bad luck, but is it a case of karma, comeuppance, what goes around coming around, or what have you? Storylines aside, Rich Money's hard times seem to have been brought about by a greater evil than the character he plays on SWF television - backstage politics.

"It must have been that interview," said one SWF Superstar, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "When Rich spoke to Pro Wrestling Hits (in July), he had some words to say about Eric (Eisen) that weren't entirely positive, and that led to him becoming the unluckiest guy in Supreme in those storylines. You don't see too many belts 'round the waists of those (backstage faction) Klubb members, but Eric's a smart man. He knows that immediate success for everyone will get people suspicious, so what he's doing is picking his spots and choosing the right time to drag people down. And one of those people is Rich. He wants the guy buried, especially with Bryan (Vessey) and Drew (Hawkins) having debuted and [redacted] scheduled to join Supreme by early November."

Another factor the above worker and others suspect has led to Money's apparent burial is his strong rapport with younger workers, something that he wasn't exactly known for in the past. "Rich always used to be aloof towards the kids," said the unnamed SWF Superstar. "But when he really started getting over as an alpha heel, he made it a point to help the younger guys out, people like the Gauge twins, Cam Vessey, Spencer Spade. Eric feels that Rich is babying those guys and trying to kiss Peter Michaels' and his dad's behinds when in reality, he's only being the pot calling the kettle black."

Speaking of Bryan Vessey, the rumor mill also suggests that the 42-year-old ex-TCW veteran may not be in contention for a main event title after all. Vessey, a known performance-enhancing drug user in TCW, tested positive for PEDs in his first week in the SWF, and reports suggest he's also gotten heat for being a bad influence on the SWF's rookie corps (his nephew Cameron included), not to mention an ill-tempered, rebellious sort who, according to one worker, is emerging as "the poor man's Big Smack Scott." We wouldn't be in any position to comment on that, except by saying that Vessey is still far superior a wrestler to the Smacker, no matter how you look at it.

OOC - Uprising will be posted tomorrow, and as promised, we've got KP Avatar celebrating his 23rd birthday on the night before Uprising taping. And how ironic that KP celebrate it in that damned Baltimore bar where he once gave Eric Eisen a Switchblade Powerslam, thus regaining the respect of his fellow rookies and convincing the veterans that he doesn't need to kiss ass to get ahead. Major classic rock reference overload in this segment (again the musician in me speaking), from the songs KP and the other workers are singing on karaoke, to the fact that the bar name "Wicked Game" is a reference to the Chris Isaak song of the same name! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

(NOTE - For backstage/outside-of-ring purposes, I'm making a rare exception and having Nicky Champion date one of the Neptune twins. Yes, another Cena parallel, but I would rather watch Nicky Champion wrestle had he been a real person. Also, images of the Neptune twins are to follow! My PC had a nasty virus attack last night and I still cannot save most files onto the PC because that damn Trojan, apparently, crippled my old antivirus.)

The Wicked Game - that infamous bar near Isaak Road Arena

11:00 p.m.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/NickyChampion_jhd3_zps6393cde3.jpg</div>

"How I wish, how I wish you were here.

We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,

Running over the same old ground.

What have we found?

The same old fears.

Wish you were here."

I had once hated Nicky Champion. Hated him for accidentally crippling my brother Charlie, hated him for not stepping up to the plate and helping defray our medical expenses. But now, I considered him a friend, and I was glad to see him at my first birthday party away from home. I just wished he chose another song to sing in our karaoke session. For what it's worth, he did show us why he deserved to be singing his own ring music, and his gravelly singing voice, once again, reminded me of a cross between a young, Born to Run-era Bruce Springsteen and John Mayer.

Oh, and Nicky Champion also had a champion of a girlfriend - former BSC wrestler Jen Neptune. She and her twin sister Kathy were out of the business now, and were taking modeling gigs when they weren't working at their 9-to-5 jobs.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JenNeptune_zpse080b95c.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KathyNeptune_zpsa75a236c.jpg</div>

"KP, Nicky Champion knows you're still trying to get over Dawn," said Nicky, a bit tipsy and speaking in character, "but I thought you might want to meet my girlfriend's sister. Kathy, KP. KP, Kathy." Nicky then leaned over and whispered something to me.

"So your nickname, or should I say other nickname, is KP too?", I said nervously, as everyone in our table started hooting and cheering. Believe it or not, her real first/middle name was Katherine Patricia. And I am, if you check my Wikipedia entry, Kirk Patrick Avatar. Well, what do you know.

"Yes it is, KP!", said Kathy Neptune in that down-home Southern accent she shared with her twin sister. "Back when I was in school, I did answer to 'KP' for some time. Nicky tells me you're also into music, am I right?"

"Uh...yeah," I replied, taking a gulp of liquid courage as Remmy and Spencer were nudging me from opposite ends. Man, was I feeling conscious tonight. "The Psychedelic Soul Brothers...I mean, Psychedelic Garage Jobbers!"

"KP 'Lamar' Avatar on rhythm guitar and occasional lead vocals, Ash 'Archnemesys' Campbell on bass, Tracy "TBT" Brendon-Taylor or Ronnie "Man Mountain" Cahill on lead guitar, depending on availability, Cameron Vessey, a.k.a. Cameron Cameron on drums. I'm the only one who doesn't have an alternate stage name for the band," explained Remmy. "We were hoping to cover obscure garage rock songs from the '60s, but right now we mostly do familiar '60s and '70s classic rock and soul covers, and we have one original song, 'Sunday Nights Counting Lights'."

"What's it about?", asked Kathy. "Or should I say, who's it about?"

That was a question for me to answer, but all I could mutter was one word.

"Somebody."

1:00 a.m.

I looked at my watch, it was already one, and finally, the Kipper was havin' some fun. We'd tired of torturing each other's eardrums at karaoke, so we were spending the rest of the night drinking, trading locker room stories, speculating about who the Klubb would try to bury next after Rich Money, and as far as Kathy and myself were concerned, we were hitting it off. Whereas Dawn thought my music was either too old-school or too loud, Kathy loved that kind of stuff. Her ideal post-show date was watching local bands and eating at a greasy spoon, not fine dining or the opera. She was a free spirit, totally down to earth, and surprisingly smart and well-read. And she didn't raise a fuss when Remmy, Ash and myself piled into our rental car and split a bowl among ourselves. Of course, I got 10 percent of the good stuff while Remmy and Ash split the remaining 90 percent, but the important thing was that she didn't mind such shenanigans.

Unfortunately, all good things have to come to an end, and Nicky had to bail out for the evening, with the Neptune twins in tow. The girls had a modeling assignment and an early flight to catch, so Nicky had to take them back to the hotel. And with that, I told the rest of the boys - Remmy, Cam, Ash, Matt, Greg, Spencer, Robbie, Randy and Zimmy B., Snapper and Urch (a.k.a. Frankie and Mikey), Casey (sans Eve Runcord), Johns (G)reed and Anderson, Josh, Jimmy P., and Donnie J. - that I was going to sing another song on the karaoke machine, to cap off what had been an incredible birthday celebration despite the slow, sad start. Pardon the cheese, so here goes...

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

"Woke up this mornin' feelin' fine

There's somethin' special on my mind

Last night I met a new girl in the neighborhood, whoa yeah

Somethin' tells me I'm into something good!

She's the kind of girl who's not too shy

And I can tell I'm her kind of guy

She danced close to me like I hoped she would

Somethin' tells me I'm into something..."

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

"KP, you've got a text!"

Thank you very much, Remmy, you have just given me a major buzzkill. But yeah, I was standing up, singing with gusto as the boys clapped along, enjoying the evening and totally oblivious to the fact that I had left my phone on the table. What I saw on my cell phone was good enough to make me stop singing in the middle of the number...

"Had a real great time tonight KP, gimme a call if SWF goes to Alabama! =)" - Kathy N.

Not that one, dumbass!

"KP, it's weird that we don't talk anymore. I f'd up, you f'd up, lets call it quits and put this behind us. I still see u as a friend. Happy b-day and God bless, KP!" - Dawn Avatar

So her birthday gift to me is the friendzone. Heh, it's better than a cold shoulder. In the meantime, I think I'm going to request myself another golden oldie.

"Did you ever have to make up your mind?

You pick up on one and leave the other one behind

It's not often easy and not often kind

Did you ever have to make up your mind?"

Psycho Sam · September 24, 2013

Aww yeah, KP and KP are getting together. <img alt="

I always preferred hiring Kathy over Jen in 2010. For me it has always been black hair > brunettes > redheads > blondes.

The only C-Verse exception is of course Wanda/Belle. That render is just so good.

3rdStringPG · September 25, 2013

OOC - No worries guys! Rickymex, it's interesting you mentioned PJ Strong because I've considered adding him to the dirt sheet dirt, even if he's not in the database. If he was 12 in TEW 2008 he'd be 17 in TEW 2013 and I kinda have him written as a cross between Nick Bollea, Justin Bieber and Johnny Manziel. With a bit of the 200-300 kids who raided former NFL star Brian Holloway's home and engaged in drunken, stoned bacchanalia. Heck, you may even get some PJ Strong dirt together with the previously-mentioned big announcement from one of the other big two promotions!

And now, heeeeere's Uprising, and a Brian Kendrick (as "Spanky") impersonation c/o KC Glenn!

SWF Uprising

McAllister Field House (South Carolina, Mid-Atlantic)

Sunday, October 20, 2013

DARK MATCH/YOUTUBE PRE-SHOW:

Koshiro Ino d. Glenn Casey via Kobra's Bite in 3:24 (65/C)

UPRISING:

Cameron Vessey vs

Bobby Bruce (w/Karen Killer) (33/E)

Bobby Bruce continues racking up the wins on Uprising, and tonight's opponent is the floundering Cameron Vessey, whom James Prudence puts over as a "great musician when he isn't wrestling" - Marvin Earnest, playing the heel, insists Bruce is better, both in the ring and onstage. While Cam gets in some token offense, he once again gets assaulted by his uncle Bryan Vessey (with Drew Hawkins distracting referee Ric Young), and that helps Bobby Bruce get the pin and the win.

WINNER - B. Bruce in 4:54

ANGLE - Eisen Promo (73/B-)

Since Eric Eisen is no longer contracted to do B-shows, he has no choice but to appear in another video "live" from the SWF offices. This time he's calling out Cam Vessey, who remains in the ring following the attack from his uncle.

E. Eisen - Another week, another loss. Doesn't it bother you, Cameron, whose father and uncle are among the best the SWF and its competition had to offer in the '90s, that you are someone whom everybody else can get a win against? People see your name on the schedule and they go, "Okay, Cameron Vessey. Instant win, bada bing, bada boom." That's why your uncle is so angry. That's why he sees it fit to run in the ring and attack you with the Vessey Driver - because you've DISAPPOINTED HIM! You've disappointed your dad Larry, and you, Mr. Modern-Day Urban Cowboy, are disappointing the SWF Galaxy by being the whipping boy of Supreme, and if you don't want to disappoint these people no more, you'll want to join the Entourage. (winks his eye) Come on, Cam. Your uncle isn't as bad as I thought...even if he's a bit too old to be representin' this set...

ANGLE - The Bubblegum Factory w/24/7 Partay Dudez - Des Davids (63/C)

After a quick commercial, we move into the next segment - Bubblegum Factory, featuring your hosts Mainstream and Stevie. Their guest for tonight is Des Davids, one of the favorites to win the 15-man battle royal for United States title number one contendership. When asked why he had ran in to attack Koshiro Ino when it was none of his business, Davids says that "anytime anybody messes with America and things that are American, it's ALWAYS my business", and defends sports entertainment as something that may not be "pure", but something that can be much more compelling if done right. Davids is able to pop the crowd by leading a "USA! USA!" chant, but that's good enough to make the Canadian hosts of the Bubblegum Factory to kick Davids off the set. Mainstream and Stevie make it out like they hate Koshiro Ino too, but when they try leading a "CANADA! CANADA!" chant, they get booed off the stage, with manager Kristen Pearce and bouncer A-Prime trailing behind...

ANGLE - Avatar Gets Ready (6/F)

Probably rated so low due to Psychedelic Soul Brothers member KP Avatar's bloodshot eyes...the announcers don't mention it, but yesterday marked Avatar's 23rd birthday, which suggests he may have had too much to drink and too little sleep before the flight.

The Psychedelic Soul Brothers (w/Chloe Dean) vs 24/7 Partay Dudez (w/Kristen Pearce, A-Prime and Calum Nelson) (48/D-)

Despite looking and acting hung over, KP Avatar and Remmy Skye get some good audience reaction for their song-and-dance intro, but their celebration is short-lived, as the Partay Dudez attack both PSB's before the bell even rings. "That's what you get for overestimating your popularity," says Marv Earnest, following a double-team move on Remmy Skye. The Psychedelic Soul Brothers enjoy a bit of a mid-match burst of offense, as Avatar lands That Funky, Funky Elbow Drop on Stevie. But with Calum Nelson and Kristen Pearce attempting to jump in and distracting referee Shane Stones, A-Prime is able to run in with the Foreign Object of Desire, as he bashes Avatar with it, allowing Mainstream to tag in. Mainstream prevents Avatar from tagging, hits him with the Fever Beat, and gives the 24/7 Partay Dudez the win.

WINNERS - 24/7 Partay Dudez in 6:22

ANGLE - Randy B., The Zim and Dawn the Cheerleader Argue (67/C+)

Randy Bumfhole and Dawn the Cheerleader are backstage, with Dawn discussing her "scouting report" for a few battle royal competitors, including Asher Ginsberg, J. Gordon Reed and even the babyface Joshua Taylor. Once again, The Zim interrupts things, bragging that he's in the 15-man battle royal and that he'll be glad to help Randy out and give him a chance to face that "no-good Koshiro Ino" for the United States title at Let the Games Begin. Again, Randy says thanks, but no thanks, and when Zim asks Dawn if he can be the "Sexual American" in the Pep Rally stable, to go with "No-BS Brummie" Jack Giedroyc, "Honorable American" Valiant and "Fun-Loving American" Randy Bumfhole, Dawn tells him to beat it and go ask The New Chase Agency if they can use his services again. "But they're boooooring now! Emma won't put out anymore!", whines The Zim, to which Dawn replies, "Three letters - T.M.I."

ANGLE -

(57/D+)

"This guy is a million times better than Robbie Retro," says Marv Earnest, who stands up and dances with some of the fans at McAllister Field House. "Stonerizing is just that, Marv," opines James Prudence. "It's a dance craze. It's gonna come and go, you know, like pet rocks and streaking. Two things you grew up with!" Earnest lets Jimmy P. know he doesn't appreciate the age joke, and says he'll be more than glad when ex-TCW announcer Kyle Rhodes replaces him for the second half of the show!

Adrian Noelson and Ashton Barnaby vs The Can-Am Animals (w/"Bulldozer" Bryan Smith) (41/D-)

This is going to be a walk in the park for the former TCW tag champions, and neither Edd Stone nor Franklin Huggins allow their jobber opponents to get much offense in - a legsweep attempt from Adrian Noelson, in fact, allows Stone to counter and land the Party's Over, which ends this match in less than four minutes and keeps The Eisen Entourage's tag title hopefuls strong and looking good. After the match, more Stonerizing follows, as Stone continues his ascent as one of the SWF's more popular midcard heels, one who receives some cheers amid the prevalent boos.

WINNERS - The Can-Am Animals in 3:50

ANGLE - Angel Fish Hypes The Undawater Union vs Nelson and A-Prime (48/D-)

"You're going to need more to fight off The Eisen Entourage," says Undawater Union computerized mentor R.A.U.L. (voiced by Raul Darkness, natch), "but in the meantime, I think you two, Red Snapper and Amazing Urchin, should have no problem against the OTHER Partay Dudez." With that, R.A.U.L. briefs Angel Fish on the Union's opponents for the evening, Calum Nelson and A-Prime, giving dossiers on each wrestler - Nelson used to work as a male model and finished second on Season 1 of High Stakes, while A-Prime played college football for Wisconsin and started working as a bouncer and bodyguard when he failed to be drafted by the NFL. Angel Fish declares that animal magnetism and brute force are no match for the power of the Sea Clutch and the Scything Shark Kick, and adding to what she said, Krustacean Kirk pulls one out of former mentor Lobster Warrior's playbook, shouting "TO THE SQUARED CIRCLE!" as each member shinnies down a pole 1960s Batman-style and dashes through the locker room en rote to the ring.

(w/Angel Fish and Krustacean Kirk) vs A-Prime and Calum Nelson (w/Kristen Pearce and 24/7 Partay Dudez) (50/D)

Jimmy Prudence has been replaced at the announce table by "Bulldozer" Bryan Smith, and while Dozer's work as a guest commentator leaves a lot to be desired, Calum Nelson and A-Prime have excellent chemistry as a team, hinting at what could be a "B-team" of Partay Dudez and a complete unit of four for one of the Let the Games Begin 4-vs-4 elimination tag matches. B-team or not, Nelson and A-Prime control most of the match, with highlights including a Famouser variation from Nelson to The Amazing Urchin, followed by a Running Powerslam on the former Mikey James. James kicks out of that, and for several minutes, he is isolated by the male model and the bouncer, before making the hot tag to Red Snapper. Once in, Red Snapper looks especially hard to stop, suplexing Nelson, then clotheslining A-Prime off the apron and making him lose his balance. Snapper locks Nelson into the Sea Clutch, and in what could be a revival of "dollar sign"-style distractions, Kristen Pearce suddenly starts dancing seductively in front of Red Snapper, the Partay Dudez's "Fever Beat" in the background. That's one twerk too many for Red Snapper, who gets snap mare driver-ed from behind by Nelson, then locked into the Honey Trap. Yes, the former Cali Dragons now have a nifty gimmick, but are still being used to get newer workers over, unfortunately...

WINNERS - A-Prime and Nelson in 6:57

ANGLE - Angel Fish and Pearce Brawl, Dozer Attacks Undawater Union (38/D-)

In what could be a teaser for a future Partay Dudez vs Undawater Union feud, Angel Fish confronts her real-life sister Kristen Pearce after the match, and the argument soon degenerates into a full-blown catfight at ringside, something that pleases Marv Earnest to no extent. Dozer Smith, who had guested earlier on commentary, removes his headset and delivers one Backdrop Driver each to Red Snapper and Amazing Urchin, who had been trying in vein to break the catfight up. Take note, however, that Jessie Pearce-Gilmore and Kristen Pearce have yet to be acknowledged onscreen as sisters...

Ben Casey (w/Glenn Casey) vs John Anderson (w/Hannah) (56/D+)

Kyle Rhodes makes his debut in this match as the new and permanent third man on the Uprising announce team, and he immediately notices how John Anderson, his former TCW workmate, has really found himself in the SWF, albeit in a rather shady manner. Anderson tries cajoling kayfabe hillbillies Ben 'n' Glenn Casey into something (it isn't clear what it is), and the announcers are left to speculate on that as Anderson squashes the older Casey "cous'n" Ben, taking him out with the Clear Conscience in five and a half minutes.

WINNER - Anderson in 5:26

ANGLE - Glenn Casey Disrupts

(32/E)

Some of the workers are getting their own entrances for the 15-man number one contender battle royal for the U.S. title, and Asher Ginsberg is in the middle of his still-hipster-ish entrance when Glenn Casey, same hillbilly cornerman from earlier, disrupts the entrance by STREAKING! Ginsberg, who has a Japanese robot cartoon lunchbox in one hand (he is, after all, the Hungry, Hungry Hipster) and a DSLR camera in the other, tries snapping the naive streaker, who is grabbed by security guards and taken back to the locker room. "I don't even want to know what's on John Anderson's mind right now," quips Kyle Rhodes as it is clear Anderson had played devil's advocate once again, convincing one of the Casey cous'ns to streak and get themselves noticed.

Asher Ginsberg vs

vs Des Davids vs

vs El Duque vs

vs

vs Joshua Taylor vs Krustacean Kirk vs Paul Huntingdon vs

vs

vs Squeeky McClean vs

- 15-Man Battle Royal for SWF United States Title number one contender (69/C+)

Koshiro Ino, yet another ex-TCW guy, sits in as a fourth announcer, and immediately mocks Kyle Rhodes for joining the "home of lousy American sports entertainment", while throwing disparaging comments left and right at the competitors in this battle royal. First off the ropes is El Duque (15th), who gets eliminated by Donnie J and James Prudence, then Donnie J (14th), who is clotheslined off the top rope by Paul Huntingdon. The true unstoppable force here, for the meantime, is Dozer Smith, who eliminates a total of four wrestlers in the first eight minutes - Robbie Retro (13th), James Prudence (12th), and later on Squeeky McClean (8th) and Paul Huntingdon (7th). In between Dozer's eliminations, we also see The Zim helping Randy Bumfhole, much to the latter's chagrin, eliminate Asher Ginsberg (11th), then land a Zim in One on Joshua Taylor, but fail to eliminate him. Also thrown off the ropes early on are Spencer Spade (10th) and The Zim (9th), the latter of whom gets eliminated by his own brother Randy! It's clear that Randy still doesn't trust Zim at this point, even if he's long gone from the Chase Agency and apparently burning bridges with his former teammate Asher Ginsberg.

The final six in this match are J. Gordon Reed, Krustacean Kirk, Randy Bumfhole, Des Davids, Josh Taylor and Dozer Smith, and Davids gets his first elimination of the match, blasting Reed with a Touch Down and gently kicking him out of the ring to make him the 6th placer in the battle royal. Afterwards, we see another concerted effort to get Dozer out, and this particular team effort (Kirk, Bumfhole, Davids and Taylor) results in Dozer setting himself up in a position to short-arm Randy B. (5th) out of the ring! He is, however, at a vulnerable position, and that results in Krustacean Kirk and Taylor sharing an elimination to double-clothesline the Dozer (4th) out of there. We're now down to an all-babyface final three, and after Taylor and Davids combine to eliminate Kirk (3rd), the two survivors fight it out for another two minutes. Davids proves to be the better man, owing to his more battle royal-conducive brawling skills, as the force of his Quarterback Sack sends Taylor sprawling out of the ring...this means Des Davids is the new number one contender for the U.S. title, and the one-time Chase Agency/SinCorporated and Almighty Dollar heel gets a warm reception from the crowd at McAllister Fieldhouse!

WINNER - Davids in 12:53. Joshua Taylor, Krustacean Kirk and Dozer Smith finished 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Dozer Smith had the most eliminations. Des Davids is the number one contender for the SWF United States title.

ANGLE - Taylor and Davids Shake Hands (67/C+)

It's been a tough go for Josh Taylor in his efforts to stop Koshiro Ino's reign as United States champ, but it's also time for some new hopefuls to give it a shot. Taylor acknowledges this, extending his hand to fellow High Stakes mentor Des Davids, as both men celebrate in the ring and bask in the crowd's yells of "USA! USA!" Those chants, however, finally get under Ino's skin as he jumps into the ring and...

ANGLE - Ino Beats Down on Davids and Taylor (72/B-)

...attacks Davids and Taylor with his gimmicked Japanese flag! He is able to knock down both men with the flagpole, and having completed the assault, he poses on all four corners of the ring, holding the Japanese flag up high and getting a huge round of boos. Ino yells "PURORESU!!!!" at the top of his lungs before throwing the flag down on Davids and Taylor's bodies and walking out of the ring and heading back to the locker room.

ANGLE- Cannonball Gets Ready (52/D)

(w/Haley Ham 'n' Egger) vs The Awesomeness (w/Alanis Springsteen) - SWF World Tag Team Title Match (68/C+)

As promised by the announcers, High Concept is taking on The Awesomeness and taking advantage of the rematch clause, and it's a match for the SWF tag titles! And it looks like High Concept is back to their impersonator shtick - Elmo Benson and Greg Black are calling themselves "Enhancement Elmo" and "Gregorio Giabroni", while Haley Buck is once again "Haley Ham 'n' Egger." Both teams do their best to step it up in this rematch, while Jerry Eisen, a man who once loved The Awesomeness, warns that they may try some dirty tricks to keep the belts, such as getting a DQ. At 5:10, "Enhancement Elmo" pops the audience with his Benson's Big Adventure, and after knocking Cannonball out with a Shockwave from Next Year, he tags "Gregorio Giabroni" in for the Fade to Black. "Enhancement Elmo", in an impersonation of the real "Enhancement" Eddie Cornell, yells "Tha' was bloody good!" as his teammate goes for the cover. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!

That remains a theme for the next few minutes - false finishes from Elmo and Greg, and The Awesomeness cheating their way to keep the match open. Finally, The Awesomeness kicks the dirty tactics into overdrive, as Alanis Springsteen argues with Jez McArthuer over what she feels was a slow count. This allows Huey Cannonball and Jeff Stardust to double-team "Gregorio Giabroni", and as "Enhancement Elmo" steps in to even things, all four men are in the ring, and McArthuer comes this close to calling it a no-contest! The ensuing mayhem, however, enables Stardust to set up a Stage Dive with an enzuigiri on "Enhancement Elmo", and once the Stage Dive falls, he goes for the cover with a pull on the tights. McArthuer counts one, two, three, and The Awesomeness retain, much to the disappointment of Jerry Eisen.

WINNERS - The Awesomeness in 11:27. The Awesomeness are STILL the SWF World Tag Team Champions.

Overall Grade - 68/C+

Thirdy's Thoughts: Post-Shows OOC

Just let me know what kind of storyline you'd like to see - the main protagonists will do, actually - and I'll do my best to write it out sometime in November or December in-game.

1. flaviooooo - 43/52, 83% (+4/6, 5/6)

1. kieranforthewin - 43/52, 83% (+5/6, 5/6)

3. MichiganHewo - 40/52, 77% (+3/6, 5/6)

4. Croquemitaine - 38/52, 73% (+4/6, 6/6, +1)

Rickymex - 5/7, 71%

5. Psycho Sam - 37/52, 71% (+3/6, 4/6)

5. Midnightnick - 37/52, 71% (+3/6, 5/6, +2)

6. petecrimson00 - 27/40, 68%

- As you can see, Angry Gilmore and Jack Bruce are among those workers I don't normally job out unless there's a very good reason, and that very good reason was to facilitate the hiring of Drew (the former Wolf) Hawkins, Bryan Vessey and their third amigo from TCW. Surprisingly, they did better teaming with Eric Eisen than they did teaming with John Anderson, as I had originally planned!

- Yes, that's Glenn Casey/KC Glenn doing the Spanky and streaking to the ring! Had to cheat the angle a bit there, since his being "extremely conservative" would preclude any such angle if risk is set to Medium or higher.

- Looks like everyone on High Stakes Season 2 has their momentum shot. Guess it's the abysmal grades for the rookie challenge angles pulling down that momentum for everybody, even Masked Cougar, who is far more over than the others.

- Been watching a lot of WCW lately to jog my memory, mostly for inspiration on how to execute a good "invasion", but I've only ended up with a last-song syndrome because of 3 Count's self-performed entrance themes. Don't be surprised if you see another 24/7 Partay Dudez music video on Uprising...

- Greg Black and Rich Money had excellent chemistry in a test match I ran a while ago, which is why I went with Black as Money's first opponent as he tries to make it a three-way match for World Heavyweight at Let the Games Begin, despite Black's popularity being at 49 as to Money's 87-88. Even with the loss, Black's popularity got bumped up to 50 in all U.S. regions!

- Inasmuch as I'd like to make him the Eric Bischoff to Hawkins/Vessey/?????'s nWo, Kyle Rhodes is "just" above-average as a color commentator, as opposed to being good to great. And I have no choice to use him as a face, as Marv Earnest already does heel commentary on Uprising...
