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

[3rdStringPG]

<p><strong>Thirdy's Thoughts: Post-Shows OOC</strong></p><p> </p><p>

- December predictions are on, and for the prize for calendar 2013's (and this diary's) final prediction game, <strong>the winner will get to suggest a storyline for either the SWF, Elite or DaVE brands, to kick off on the next diary.</strong> Here's how our competitors stand after Week 1! (Psycho Sam, I still remember your year-end bonus of three points. We'll credit that at the end of the prediction game. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> )</p><p> </p><p>

- I kinda like the Uprising layout better than the one I've been using for the past few months. Thinking of using it for the closing weeks of this diary, plus on the next diary as well, regardless of whether it's an A-show or B-show. Of course, the A-shows will have more detailed match recaps and promos, though...</p><p>

- And while we're still on the topic of formats, I'm thinking of adding more announcer transcripts. Just might do that going forward if it doesn't take up much more time.</p><p>

- Talk about poetic INjustice. Just when I hype Jack Giedroyc as someone who's finally getting a main event push and a chance to fight for main event belts after all those years wrestling in America, I find out that he's just made the Time Decline list, right behind Vengeance, Jack Bruce (!!!), Christian Faith and Ricky Dale Johnson.</p><p>

- At this point, Elite's main purpose is to give bigger names who weren't on Supreme TV a chance to show their stuff. The go-home Elite, while it will have matches, will mostly serve as a hype show for Christmas Clash, while the third one will center on the SWF's first-ever brand draft. Might tweak match percentage only for that show.</p><p>

- So many of you were so close in the Uprising bonus question, guessing Emerald Angel as Darryl Devine's mystery opponent. Yup, I've got Emerald Angel, who'll be doing jobs for the meantime as The Green Outcast. But Magnum Kobe is more over in the U.S., hence the Shooting Star title match right off the bat, plus the team-up with Koshiro Ino.</p>

[Psycho Sam]

Yay!'m tied first! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[3rdStringPG]

<p><strong>OOC</strong> - Wow. Just ten matches combined for the go-home shows! Didn't realize they were that few. In any case, here are the go-home shows up for prediction! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> These might be up sooner than I usually post them...hoping to wrap up this diary before November 22, as I'll be out of town with limited access to the Internet (and zero access to TEW) from the 22nd to the 24th. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

<p><strong>OOC</strong> - With less pressure to write detailed promos and match recaps, I'm making good time with Supreme TV, so I'm not sure if this will be a last call for predictions. Now how about we take a look at what's going on backstage? Title of the article is a nod to arguably the hottest and most controversial sports story in the real world...</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><em>"Going Incognito on the Angel"</em></strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">Tuesday, December 10, 2013</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Joe Louis Arena</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

6:30 p.m.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

I was home in Detroit for tonight's Supreme TV, and though I wasn't going to be on TV tonight, I welcomed the opportunity to head home for a bit, visit my family and check up on my brother Charlie. I even was able to replace my clunky old Ford Focus with a flashy, relatively new 2012 Dodge Challenger, and I proudly drove it that evening, getting oohs and aahs from my fellow Class of 2013 rookies. Even Dawn was out there for a few moments to admire my new wheels, but she had to head back to the locker room because Wolf, I mean Drew Hawkins, was calling her. Neither would admit that they were going steady. And to Drew's credit, he'd been curbing his alcohol intake and hadn't made a drunken scene in quite a while.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

As I reentered the locker room with Remmy, Cam and Ash, we could feel the tension...so thick, as the saying would go, that you can cut it with a knife. So far, the bumper crop from TCW was mostly proving to be a handful. Sammy Bach was fine, but there was definitely an air of awkwardness when he'd be in the same room as his ex-fiancee, Emma Chase. Drew, as mentioned, could be a drunken wreck. Bryan Vessey was still a head case, lying about steroid use, acting like a bad influence around Cam, and pulling nasty ribs on rookies and veterans alike. Even Ricky Dale Johnson was giving Peter headaches, no thanks to his creative control clause. It was impossible to book a draw for him, and a planned Brandon James vs RDJ match had to be scrapped because neither he nor Brandon would agree to a double count-out, or to do the job for the other. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

But none of the TCW hires were as problematic as a certain SWF veteran, whom we overheard arguing with Peter Michaels.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/EricEisen_alt4-2_zpsc53c541c.jpg</span><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/PeterMichaels.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Oh, there you are, Peter."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Eric, I'm fluent in Japanese. I know Hidetoshi's upset about how you, Brandon, Remo and Emma have been treating him, and he's said as much through his Facebook and Twitter accounts. If I find out you've been goin' Richie Incognito on Emerald Angel..."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Relax, Pete! We're just trying to make Hide and Kobe feel welcome in America," said Eric, trying desperately to allay concerns about the hazing going out of hand.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"What is it you wanted to talk about?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"About Christmas Clash, Pete. How come I'm not booked in it?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Because of the storyline. We let you take some time off to focus on your office work and to rest your knee, so we pretended that you were in Hollywood, promoting The S.E.A.L. So we're having you interfere for The Can-Am Animals."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"And you aren't. The movie bombed. And the only storyline I'm in right now is a rehash. The 'rage has already feuded with Adam and Jack. And now you've got 'em with their new porn star gimmick, takin' potshots at The S.E.A.L.? That's a strange way you got of promoting my movie!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Well, you agreed to it. Jerry did as well."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Are you calling my brother an IDIOT?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Peter was losing his temper quickly, and he was trying his best not to show it. "Look, Eric. Since you re-signed with us you haven't had creative control on your clause."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"You know that clause is bullshit! Everybody's got to have creative control in some kinda way. Everyone...from the KP Avatars...to the Eric Eisens."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"You can't just approve a storyline one day then turn around the next show and say you don't like it. Or in this case, say you don't like it weeks after the fact. If you want your main event push back, Eric, you're going to have to work for it. And not spend all your time takin' advantage of our Japanese and Mexican rookies just because they're not fluent in English."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Eric was seething, but then again, so was Peter. The Eisens were really, really getting on his nerves now, each and every one of them. First, you had Richard, screaming through Peter's headphones (and Duane Fry's too) to make sure they called the matches properly. (Somehow, he didn't do that too often with Jason Azaria.) Then you had the sons, Eric and Jerry, both of whom had a tendency to approve storylines if they felt Klubb members had something to gain from them, only to bitch and whine when they realized there was little payoff from them after all. And Eric, of course, was leading the charge in the backstage hazing, which was especially cruel now that we had a few foreigners suiting up. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

The heat was on, and it was all on Double E.</span></p>

Joe Louis Arena (Michigan, Great Lakes)

Tuesday, December 10, 2013

 

 

AND PRESENTING...YOUR SUPREME ANNOUNCE TEAM. "THE DEAN", PETER MICHAELS. "MR. BARNSTORMER" DUANE FRY. AND "THE MAN OF A THOUSAND FACTS", JASON AZARIA!

 

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

 

 

Michaels - And we are LIVE from the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan!

 

Fry - Home of the Detroit Red Wings and not too far from where SWF Superstar and Idealistic Teacher star KP Avatar grew up! Yes, we are LIVE from the Joe, and tonight promises to be another evening, another Supreme TV-full of BARNSTORMERS! We've got two Supreme Heavyweight Scramble participants, Jack Giedroyc and Steve Frehley, in one-on-one action, we've got High Concept and The Can-Am Animals battling for the right to enter last in the Tag Team Turmoil title match at Christmas Clash, and we've got the original Interlopers, Drew Hawkins and Bryan Vessey, but who will they be facing? And, before I forget, we'll also be seeing the contract signing for the main event at Christmas Clash - Jack Bruce versus Tom Gilmore for the World Heavyweight Title!

 

Azaria - Yes, that's something to look forward to tonight, but before everything else, we have some shocking footage from the inaugural episode of SWF Elite, after our cameras went off the air.

 

Michaels - We don't need to see that, Jason!

 

Azaria - I'd say we do, because this is another example of how The New Money Army...

 

Michaels - Meaning your former co-workers Vessey, Hawkins and Bach, plus the poor role model Jack Bruce and the cunning Rich Money...

 

Azaria - ...they ARE my former co-workers, but no way do I condone what they did when Elite went off-air!

 

 

 

ANGLE - Smith and McArthuer Beaten Down by The New Money Army (74/B-)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/e083ba91-4a09-4d57-9342-bf25fd03b47a_zps49bcece4.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/6a5445b9-c9a2-4148-87e8-05091ed5072c_zpscb8debfc.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/5b85c793-2e9c-4900-bb9d-283a14a150ad_zpsf02d09ee.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/a212a8b2-582c-45eb-9590-f9ebca9571a6_zps9c0c0326.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/9ee55b97-25e6-48e0-9a3d-350c11e80cef_zpsf656d7c9.jpg

 

The Supreme-Tron shows footage from the first episode of SWF Elite, where an irate Bryan Vessey, Drew Hawkins and Sammy Bach tore into referees Darren Smith and Jez McArthuer, no doubt payback for the two refs banishing the NMA members for their blatant attempts to interfere. Jack Bruce and Rich Money supervise the beatdown, laughing evilly as Vessey destroys Smith with a Vessey Driver, and as Bach stretches Jez Mac with the Bach on Your Back. Adding insult to injury, Bruce and Money fling McArthuer against a dumpster, kicking him while he's down and doing the same to Smith. All five NMA members exchange handshakes and high-fives, laughing and joking among themselves; to top things off, Bruce taunts the two fallen refs by yelling "THAT'LL TEACH YOU TO CENSOR THE NEW MONEY ARMY!!!"

 

 

ANGLE - Faith Rants About Money (86/B+)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/b40c8263-4609-4a40-bf85-a8f3a2c83eea_zps4f0cce45.jpg

 

After the video plays, we see Christian Faith in the ring, calling out The New Money Army and scoring them for their heartless treatment of referees Smith and McArthuer.

 

Faith - That was beyond disgusting. To see two of our finest referees get attacked for doing their job. Attacked for playing things straight and not being afraid to send people to the locker room for misbehaving. It was beyond DISGUSTING to see The New Money Army act the way they did, and to be frank with you, such actions need to be dealt with in other ways aside from suspension. (pauses) Unlike other Commissioners before me, it took me one mistake to learn. That one mistake was suspending Steve Frehley, and sure enough, he came back, angrier than ever, not having changed a bit. Fines won't work either, because as you all know, Rich Money pays the NMA on top of what they're already being paid. With that in mind, all matches involving The New Money Army at Christmas Clash...will have everyone in their faction BANNED FROM RINGSIDE. Should any member of The New Money Army run in to try and interfere in the match...they shall be DISQUALIFIED. And that applies as well to Jack Bruce vs Tom Gilmore - Tom had requested that it be no-DQ, no-count-out, and I'm sure he wouldn't mind it if the only instance where Jack Bruce can be disqualified is if one of his fellow NMA members runs in. And to be sure I'm being fair with everybody, the same would apply for The New Money Army's respective opponents.

 

After Faith announces the key stipulation in all matches involving The NMA, the crowd responds back with an emphatic round of "WE HAVE FAITH!" cheers.

 

Faith - As for Rich Money vs Remo, it's been established since last week that the lumberjacks will not be part of The New Money Army or Richie Pangrazzio's All-Stars, and I have made it a point to choose 30 men whom I trust, and whom I believe have no chance of joining The New Money Army or becoming one of their allies...

 

 

ANGLE - James and Faith Argue (77/B-)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/b640f49f-130a-484f-8c7d-661ba1bec945_zpsd397b620.jpg

 

Brandon James' ring music - "Money" by Pink Floyd - hits as Christian Faith explains the Remo vs Rich Money lumberjack match, and it looks clear that Big Money isn't here to talk about Remo. He's here to talk about Rich Money, and how he believes Faith is in cahoots with the Moneyman. Standing next to James is his manager, the now-conservative and almost-emotionless Emma Chase, who lets James do all the talking this time around.

 

James - All that inconsequential prattle, Mr. Faith, and none of it has convinced me that you are not in league with The New Money Army.

 

Faith - Brandon, you don't have any business here. If you're hoping to be part of Christmas Clash, I can work something out for the pre-show...

 

James - That is the most insulting proposition you have ever presented to me, Mr. Faith, and I would rather you call me MR. James, because as Executive Vice President of The Chase Agency, I command nothing but the respect of the lowly proletariat, and that means you too, a mere wrestling commissioner who isn't even a full-fledged figure of authority.

 

Faith - A mere wrestling commissioner? (pauses for a moments, then does a bit of "quoting" from his more bad-ass, pre-Born Again days in the original SWF Swagger era) I'll have you know, SON, that as long as you're in the SWF, I'm in charge, and therefore have authority over The Chase Agency, and whomever you may be considering teaming up with!

 

James - If you are trying to insinuate that I am part of The New Money Army's "Divide" strategy, then you are only proving your lack of maturity and judgmental nature as Acting Commissioner, Mr. Faith. I have been stung and hamstrung by merger agreements in the past, and the last thing Emma and myself need is the presence of another rich individual poisoning the well and usurping the authority of our Chief Executive. (pauses) If anything else, you have given the SWF Galaxy another reason to believe you are in league with the NMA. And as a concerned SWF Superstar as I am a concerned businessman, I think it is about time the SWF had someone to stand up against corrupt leaders such as yourself.

 

Faith - So you are saying that...

 

James - That's right. Brandon James vs Christian Faith. Supreme or World Heavyweight Champion in waiting against a four-time HAS-BEEN World champ. Educated businessman versus what is colloquially known as "trailer trash." A man who fights for the honor of the SWF and the Chase Agency versus a man with no honor, the very reason why The New Money Army is here to begin with. Paragon of excellence and hard-fighting, old-style wrestler versus Richard Eisen's mouthpiece for his Swagger revival...and old man period. (pauses) Mr. Faith, it is not like me to use ad hominems about your age, but I could not help it.

 

Faith - That was all very interesting, Brandon, and if it's a match you want, then it's a match you got...SON.

 

 

ANGLE - Benson Impersonates Stone (55/D+)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/b53616de-3f71-4dd5-ad95-439b6e764d73_zps3ff62e53.jpg

 

After Peter Michaels provides his usual support for The Chase Agency, particularly Brandon James, a vignette plays featuring Elmo Benson as "Benn-Fu", a knockoff of Edd Stone. The first scene shows him at a Starbucks, getting charged the normal price for a tall espresso, but getting overcharged when he screams "BENN-FU!!!" at the barista. He then is seen in the smoking area of a bar, lighting up a cigarette and coughing. The moment he yells "BENN-FU!!!", the bar's owner places the "NO SMOKING" sign in the smoking area, and the smoking patrons leave in a huff, muttering at "Benn-Fu" and blaming him for what had happened. Finally, he is at a horse race, with the horse he has bet on safely in the lead. When he yells "BENN-FU!!!", the horse stops in his tracks and five other horses pass him, much to "Benn-Fu"'s chagrin.

 

"Benn-Fu" - Benn-Fu. If it doesn't work for you, then that's okay. It doesn't work for me either!

 

 

High Concept (w/Haley Buck) vs The Can-Am Animals (w/Lisa Bowen) - Match to determine top seed in Tag Team Turmoil title match (65/C)

This match is to determine who will be entering last in the Tag Team Turmoil title match at Christmas Clash - The Awesomeness and Eros Squad will enter first, The Dysfunctional Bumfholes third, as they had five points at the end of the qualifying tourney as to six for High Concept and The Can-Am Animals. Despite the best efforts of Lisa Bowen and Eric Eisen (who's sitting in on commentary) to distract and/or interfere, High Concept pulls through, thanks to a Game Over from "Benn-Fu" and Greg Black to the man "Benn-Fu" was impersonating - Edd Stone.

 

WINNERS - High Concept in 4:59. High Concept to enter last in Tag Team Turmoil match at Christmas Clash.

 

 

ANGLE - Valiant Rants About Bryan Vessey (83/B)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/95e06188-7f35-4475-8e6c-5ff7fa214f40_zps62d0ecf9.jpg

 

Backstage, Jason Azaria is interviewing Valiant, who talks about being a really young kid growing up in Washington D.C. and watching a young man, barely out of his teens, talk about how stoked he was to be doing what his older brother was doing, and how he once told the SWF Galaxy that he'll do anything to fight for the honor of the people he loves, may it be his brother Larry, the SWF Galaxy or America in general. He then talks about how his brother's negative influence had seemingly warped him over time, and how he would sacrifice honor in favor of a bigger paycheck and strength in numbers, may it be Tommy Cornell's, PGHW's, or Rich Money's. Valiant says Bryan Vessey won't have the strength in numbers he covets at Christmas Clash - instead, he'll be all alone, an aging and jaded veteran, with no clue of what honor really means, and no North American belt around his waist. And for tonight's tag match, Valiant says he hopes to upset Vessey and Drew Hawkins with his "hand-picked partner", adding that the partner won't be Jack Giedroyc, as he's already booked against Steve Frehley.

 

 

ANGLE - The Dysfunctional Bumfholes Rant About The Awesomeness (67/C+)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/f5ed5f9f-0192-43bf-b40b-b47db51fbd87_zpse813d05a.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/6a65e971-4cce-4570-8c42-93fc11886421_zpsa7713f0e.jpg

 

After Valiant's interview, fellow Pep Rally member Randy Bumfhole takes him aside and talks about the awesome date he's set up for him and a "close friend" of Dawn the Cheerleader. Hearing the word "awesome" a second time, The Zim hijacks his brother from the conversation as they talk about how The Awesomeness have their work cut out for them now - they'll be one of the first two teams entering at the Tag Team Turmoil match. Randy, again going against his "Fun-Loving American" persona, says they're not that well off either as third seed in the match, and that only makes The Zim tell Randy off about not being any fun, contrary to what his moniker suggests.

 

The Zim - You're no fun, Randy. No fun. A real Debbie Downer.

 

R. Bumfhole - I'm just being realistic here, Zimmy. If The Awesomeness has to work hard, so do we! We've got The Can-Am Animals at #2, High Concept at #1...

 

The Zim - And Randy Bumfhole at number zero, as in zero fun. (pauses) Admit it, Rand-meister. You're settin' Valiant up with someone whom you couldn't keep up with, because you'd rather be catchin' up on your reading or workin' on your golf swing on our rest days! That attitude is NOT gonna help us against The Awesomeness!

 

R. Bumfhole - I'm not sayin' we can't beat The Awesomeness. We CAN beat The Awesomeness. But we're gonna have to prepare for The Can-Ams and High Concept. Have you seen how En-too-LARGE Eric Eisen's group is now?

 

The Zim - That was neither fun nor funny, Randy. (pauses) We've got three matches to win to become the first five-time tag team champions, and if your idea of preparin' is by watchin' Martha Stewart and studyin' up on ancient Roman history, then fine. I've got my own way of gettin' ready against those losers...the tuneless rockers. The frat boys. And finally, the impersonators. (makes pelvic thrusting gestures) BOO-YEAAAAHHHH!!!!!

 

Texas Justice vs The Nobodies (52/D)

The Nobodies are The Green Outcast (Emerald Angel with different mask - to follow!) and The Red Pariah (Magnum Kobe with mask) - in other words, they're Somebodies when it comes to their home country of Japan. Here, though, they're jobber fodder for Ricky Dale Johnson and Vengeance, and it doesn't take long before RDJ wipes out Green with a Leaping Lariat. Nice and easy does it.

 

WINNERS - Texas Justice in 4:04

 

ANGLE - RDJ Rants About Hawkins (74/B-)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/c9961ffe-2d5d-4c9b-af5e-01174790babd_zpsbd742f4c.jpg

 

Due to the fact that RDJ has just come off a jobber squash, his promo against Drew Hawkins doesn't go over as well as it should with the Detroit crowd. Still, several "RDJ! RDJ!" chants punctuate this intense promo from the veteran and one-time TCW "lifer."

 

RDJ - Come Saturday night at the RCA Dome, it's gonna be five men. Five individuals deserving of replacing Tom Gilmore as the Supreme Heavyweight champ. And in a Scramble Match, anyone can become champion at any time within those 20 minutes, but the only champion that's gonna matter is the last man to pin someone within the timeframe. Nicky Champion talks about bein' more than a name. Steve Frehley uses abusive language and made-up stories of racism to get his point across. Jack Giedroyc Crashes On the right way. And I...I draw on real-life experience as a sheriff's deputy to serve up that justice...Texas-style. Notice anyone missing? (pauses) That's because you, Drew Hawkins, have yet to say anything of value in your two months here in Supreme. Even if the value is questionable, like what Frehley keeps spoutin' out. And while I can't deny your skill despite the hot air, you aren't half as good as you think you are.

 

Drew, I've known you since you were Tommy Cornell's favorite member of The Syndicate. Now you may have that lyin' sissy Bryan Vessey on your side, but without Cornell to bail you out, y'all ain't nothin'. Nothin' but hot air and not a single answer to what Tom Gilmore sent your way on Elite. All due respect to Tom, but Drew, you're gonna be facin' a man who has schooled you time and again back west. I know your every move. I know how you go about these things. (to the fans) So on Saturday, SWF Galaxy, y'all are gonna be watchin' Drew Hawkins' latest film, and its title isn't Full Moon Fever. It's gonna be more like this - Teen Wolf Goes Back to School. The subtitle? (takes a long pause as he says his new catchphrase) Justice Will Be Served.

Steve Frehley's next to talk about his upcoming participation in the Supreme Heavyweight Scramble, and the announcers immediately tell us that Frehley had demanded to be interviewed by another African-American - it's super-jobber KP Avatar asking the questions to a surly and uncooperative Dark Destroyer. Frehley tells Avatar that while Supreme Heavyweight is an insult to a man of his stature, he'll be "fightin' for the black man" at Christmas Clash, and delivering a world of brutal pain to the likes of Drew Hawkins, Jack Giedroyc and Ricky Dale Johnson, "not to mention that traitor to Native Americans Nicky Champion." When Avatar playfully comments that Frehley seems to be interested in a pay-per-view called "Kwanzaa Klash"...

 

Frehley - Typical of you f---in' Uncle Toms to talk s--- about the people who really care.

 

Avatar (sounding afraid) - Uh, S-s-s-Steve...I was just jokin' around...

 

Frehley - See, Uncle Tom, there is a right way, a wrong way, and a Frehley Way. And when you motherf---ers do things the wrong way, you get taught the Frehley Way...

 

Having said that, Frehley picks up Avatar and drops him on the locker room floor with a Frehley's Comet!

 

Frehley - THAT'S THE FREHLEY WAY, PUNK!!!! THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO TO HAWKINS, GIEDROYC, RDJ, AND ESPECIALLY THAT LI'L BITCH NICKY CHAMPION!!!! Y'ALL AIN'T S---, AVATAR!!!! Y'ALL AIN'T S---!!!!

 

ANGLE - Faith Books Eisen vs Davids (71/C+)

"Everybody's talkin' about the Supreme Heavyweight Scramble. Sure, we can let Bruce and Gilmore kill each other, but shouldn't you be making it a six-man scramble match? Hell, I'm Eric Eisen! I'm a big movie star, the SWF's Supreme Iconoclast and its resident Action Hero! And that's more than enough!" Those are the words Eric Eisen yells as he barges into Christian Faith's office, looking for a match. After Eisen argues with Faith about how he feels The S.E.A.L. hasn't been getting promoted as it should and how he feels left out of Christmas Clash, Faith tells him to zip it and get ready for tonight's match - his chance to become part of the PPV - a United States title match against Des Davids. Eisen thinks for a moment and says that even if it's not the Supreme Heavyweight Scramble, he'll take it, and that Davids, despite his All-American status as a college football linebacker, was too crappy an actor to be considered for SWF Studios' other movie, Idealistic Teacher.

 

Jack Giedroyc (w/Dawn the Cheerleader) vs Steve Frehley (71/C+)

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/5f99038a-fe52-41f0-8b68-f44054eb871f_zpseadbba24.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/9df74019-2683-4e4f-a711-f8a4c79e40dc_zpsb51a489d.jpg

 

This is a preview of sorts for the Supreme Heavyweight Scramble, where Jack Giedroyc and Steve Frehley are two of the five competitors. Frehley is in control for most of the match, and even busts out the brass knuckles while Shane Stones isn't looking, setting up a painful-looking Frehley's Comet on Giedroyc. Still, the No B.S. Brummie is able to kick out of that, and as Frehley argues with Stones following a warning for a low blow attempt, Giedroyc sneaks up behind him and comes Crashing On! The crowd gives him a huge pop as Stones counts one, two, three and raises Giedroyc's hand in victory - probably his biggest victory of the year, considering Frehley's status as one of the SWF's most hated heels!

 

WINNER - Giedroyc in 8:39

 

ANGLE - Champion Saves Giedroyc from Frehley (77/B-)

 

Michaels - That was not an upset, Duane! That was highway robbery! The stupid official was accusing Steve Frehley of a phantom low blow, which allowed that ROGUE, that SCOUNDREL Jack Giedroyc to sneak up behind him and blast him with the Crashing On.

 

Fry - Oh, will you give it a rest, Peter? That match was a BARNSTORMER in many ways, particularly how it shows us Jack Giedroyc shouldn't be discounted as a contender for the vacant Supreme Heavyweight title! (pauses as Frehley, now recovered, jumps Giedroyc from behind and smashes him against the guardrail) LOOK OUT!!!!

 

Michaels (sounding very apathetic) - That'll make your head hurt...

 

Azaria - And that's all you can say. Steve Frehley is doing his usual thing of acting like a poor sport and assaulting Jack Giedroyc and all you can say is "that'll make your head hurt."

 

Frehley (off-mic) - Y'ALL AIN'T S---!!!!

 

Michaels - That's sayin' it, Steve. Jack Giedroyc's victory was a FLUKE, and I still stand by what I've been sayin' - he doesn't stand a chance of winning the Supreme Heavyweight Scramble at Christmas Clash.

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/618ce178-1c50-4ca3-8577-e1ecc95e8505_zps25fa5cb6.jpg

 

Fry - Well, thank goodness. Nicky Champion's here, and he's here to clean house on Frehley!

 

Azaria - And there's Pep Rally in the background - Valiant, Chris Caulfield and Randy Bumfhole - in case things get even more hairy.

 

Michaels - Now what kind of a faction is that?!?!? If they really cared about their only non-American member, they'd be runnin' out there to help!

 

Azaria - Valiant's getting into it too...things could be getting really bad for the Dark Destroyer!

 

Fry (talking over Azaria) - Stop nitpicking, okay, Peter? As you can see, Nicky Champion is doing a pretty good job telling Steve Frehley to back off of Jack Giedroyc! And THERE'S THE HAWKEYE HAMMER! FREHLEY'S DOWN! That's showin' 'em, Nicky!

 

Nicky Champion helps Jack Giedroyc up to his feet as they return to the locker room with the rest of Pep Rally and Dawn the Cheerleader. Meanwhile, Steve Frehley writhes in pain next to the guardrail where he smashed Giedroyc against, getting pelted with debris by the angry Joe Louis Arena crowd, including some African-American fans who couldn't care less about his "Black Power" gimmick.

 

Des Davids © vs Eric Eisen (w/Sons of Sam) - SWF United States Title Match (60/C-)

This is Eric Eisen's first match in about a month, and he appears to be showing a lot of ring rust, though his heat-getting abilities remain intact; his cornermen for tonight (out of the ever-growing number of Eisen Entourage members) are the Sons of Sam, Greg and Matthew Keith. Despite Greg and Matt's best efforts to make things hard for Des Davids, and despite guest commentator Sammy Bach occasionally standing up to distract him, the reigning U.S. champ perseveres, countering a Supremacy attempt and spiking Eisen to the mat with a Touch Down! After a brief "touchdown celebration", Davids goes for the cover and retains his U.S. title, leaving the self-styled Supreme Iconoclast with no match to participate in on the next PPV.

 

WINNER - Davids in 8:36. Des Davids is STILL the SWF United States Champion.

 

Christian Faith vs Brandon James (w/The Chase Agency) (80/B)

Next up after the break is Christian Faith making a rare consecutive appearance in a Supreme TV match, this time facing his staunchest critic, "Big Money" Brandon James. As always, Peter Michaels is all praises for James, this time saying that he's a man who knows what he's talking about when it comes to Faith's alleged bias towards The New Money Army. He also praises James' brawling attacks, which include repeated shoulder rams against the turnbuckle and a superplex that nearly results in a win at around 7:10. Faith, though wrestling a bit slower (to highlight his kayfabe knee problems), gets the crowd excited a few minutes later with a Faith-Up comeback, a flurry of Machine Gun Faith Hammers, and finally a gutwrench powerbomb/Leap of Faith combo at 10:50, but Emma Chase is able to break the cover by yelling at referee Darren Smith. This allows J. Gordon Reed to run in and smash Faith with a chair, and while it takes some time for James to recover from Faith's finisher, James recovers first, and eventually ends the match with a Big Money Move on the Acting Commissioner.

 

WINNER - James in 13:24

 

ANGLE - New Money Army Promo (87/B+)

Peter Michaels introduces this promo by calling it "a public service message from Christian Faith's business partners", and that's because this blurrycam video from The New Money Army features its now-unquestioned leaders, Rich Money and Jack Bruce. Here we see Bruce and Money watching footage from their "classic" matches and laughing about how they used to hate each other so much before Money realized what a "Money" person Bruce is, and before Bruce learned to appreciate what Money did for his "friends from the competition," meaning Drew Hawkins, Bryan Vessey and Sammy Bach.

 

Money - So tell me, really, what was the deal with the Men Unda Pressure? That was probably the most un-Money thing you ever did, Jack!

 

J. Bruce (laughing) - Oh, Rich, you'll have to be a rock fan to understand that there were more. There was the nu-metal album we cut in 1999. Our producer, Robert Ross (OOC - based on nu-metal "godfather of producers" Ross Robinson), told me that I needed to be more Fred Durst than Freddie Mercury. Man, I was asked to RAP on that record! Can you imagine that, Rich? Jack Bruce rapping?

 

Money - Not as much as I can't imagine you leading a ragtag bunch of misfits like the Men Unda Pressure!

 

J. Bruce - That was a MISTAKE, Rich. I thought those guys were my friends, but as it turned out, they f---ed up. Tom Gilmore rode on my popularity. Chris Morrisette turned back into Lobster F---in' Warrior. And Darryl Devine? Who the hell is that guy? (laughs) Some LOSER from Seattle who thinks he's the next Dave Abbru-what's-his-name from Pearl Jam? My son Bobby's got more talent in his pinky than Darryl's got talent in two of him!

 

Money - And I know you don't condone abuse against women either, isn't that right, Jack?

 

J. Bruce - Why, of course not! (pauses) Ask anyone I've been with in my 25 years in the rock industry. I know how to treat 'em ladies right, and unlike Tom, Jack Motherbleepin' Bruce can rock 'n' roll ALL NIGHT!

 

Money (laughing) - Ah, Tom Gilmore. User. Wifebeater. Title thief. But let's face it - there are times these days when he can be Money. Someone who's far from Money these days...is Remo.

 

J. Bruce - The Remo whom I so easily beat for my FIFTH, and I repeat FIFTH, FIFTH, FIFTH, FIFTH, FIFTH, WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!!!!

 

Money - He's a stock gone bearish, a soured loan, a lost cause, call him what you want, but Christian Faith's 30 hand-picked lumberjacks won't be good enough to ensure he defeats me at Christmas Clash. Back when the Alpha Dog was a hungry, ravenous beast of prey, he had it in him to beat anyone...you, me, practically anybody else on the SWF's roster. Now he's a has-been at the young age of 31, the biggest waste of talent in Supreme Wrestling Federation history. I said it on Elite, and I'll say it again. He's the only man I know who's inept enough to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

J. Bruce - Hey, that's what I did at Awesome Impact! I knew I could beat Remo, but I was careless...

 

Money - Stop beating yourself up over something that was part of your non-Money past. On Saturday, you're a sure shot against that Darling of the Dirtsheets, Tom "Angry" Gilmore.

 

J. Bruce - Just like there will be no way in heaven and hell - dig that Dio-era Black Sabbath reference, trendy SWF Galaxy DORKS - you lose to the Alpha Puppy, Remo.

 

Money - The New Money Army...stuffing their stockings at Christmas Clash. You better believe it, MARKS. When you're one of the NMA, you're MADE FOREVER.

 

J. Bruce - N-M-motherbleepin'-A, motherbleepers. (flashes two horns-up signs)

Earlier, Valiant had teased a "mystery partner" for the main event - a tag match against Drew Hawkins and Bryan Vessey - and as it turns out, it's Randy Bumfhole! As the rest of Pep Rally looks on happily and Valiant gives Randy B. some words of advice for their match against the original Interlopers, The Zim can be seen lurking in the background, almost seething in rage but trying his best to hold it in.

Both original Interlopers had recently suffered their first losses in singles competition, which is why Peter Michaels believes they'll be the hungrier team in tonight's main event, with more at stake - Bryan Vessey's fighting for Valiant's North American title at Christmas Clash, while Drew Hawkins will be one of five men taking part in the Scramble Match for the vacant Supreme Heavyweight title. Despite seemingly being the less-heralded team, the ad hoc tandem of Valiant and Randy Bumfhole gives Hawkins and Vessey a difficult time, even combining for a Bumfhole Buster/V-Split dual-finisher at 8:30, which nearly results in Vessey getting pinned. Hawkins steps in to try to break up the cover, earning him a very stern warning from Ric Young, but the damage has been done - Vessey recovers quickly enough and floors Valiant with the Vessey Driver!

 

Valiant kicks out of that, but from the ninth to thirteenth minute, he is isolated by Hawkins and Vessey. At 13:40, he ducks a Full Moon Rising from Hawkins, which allows him to start crawling towards his corner for the hot tag! That comes in about a minute, and Randy Bumfhole is on fire here with the hot tag, knocking Bryan Vessey down with a flying clothesline that Michaels says "NEARLY TOOK HIS DAYM HEAD OFF!!!" Bumfhole picks up Vessey after he kicks out, goes for the Bumfhole Buster, but...

...he finds himself distracted when The Zim unexpectedly runs towards ringside, picking a fight with Sammy Bach! As Randy B. yells "GO BACK TO THE LOCKER ROOM, ZIMMY!" and Valiant and Dawn the Cheerleader try to do the same, Vessey uses this opportunity to tag Hawkins back in, and this time, he German Suplexes Randy B. onto the mat as Young counts ONE...TWO...THREE! As expected, the original Interlopers win, but The Zim had, with his incompetence and over-eagerness to prove himself to his brother, cost the Valiant/Randy B. duo what could have been a stirring upset.

 

WINNERS - Vessey and Hawkins in 17:13

 

 

ANGLE - Gilmore vs Bruce Contract Signing (96/A*)

Tom "Angry" Gilmore and Jack Bruce are in the ring with Christian Faith, where he lays down the stipulations for their World Heavyweight title match at Christmas Clash. It won't be a no-DQ, no-countout match as Gilmore requested, but as agreed earlier, everyone from their respective corners will be banned from ringside, and the moment anyone, may it be Jessie for Gilmore or Rich Money for Bruce, tries to run in, their respective side will be disqualified. In addition to that stipulation, Faith announces that as part of his disciplinary probation, Sam Sparrow will not be allowed to officiate the match, or any match involving the NMA at Christmas Clash. Last, but definitely not the least, Faith says that for the World title match, if Jack Bruce is disqualified or counted out, he loses the title to Gilmore. Both men sign the contract with Faith and top road agents Chief Two Eagles and Marcus McKing looking on, and after they do, Faith asks them if they have any last words to say to each other before Christmas Clash. After Bruce asks everyone else to leave, the two start ranting at each other.

 

J. Bruce - Up to now, I keep askin' myself the same friggin' question. What possessed me to form the Men Unda Pressure a couple weeks before The World is Watching? Was I really upset over losin' to a then-motivated Remo at Awesome Impact? Maybe I was. Did I need some moral support for the Battle for Supremacy, which I won, and which I rode on the way to becoming the SWF's only FIVE-TIME World Heavyweight Champion? Oh, f--- no. Did I want to use Tom "Angry" Gilmore to help me become a more focused athlete? You gotta be kiddin' me! Tom's the one who's been usin' me all these months! You wanna know the reason why I formed the Men Unda Pressure? (pauses) Elementary, Dr. f---in' Watson. It was because I PITIED YOU, Tom Gilmore.

 

I pitied you because you and Jessie were havin' marital problems. I pitied you because your brain hasn't been quite right since Eric Eisen's attack on you at Break Like the Wind last year, though it's not like you've always been playin' with a full deck of cards. I pitied you, Tom. So what kinda thanks did I get for helpin' you rekindle your sex life and bearing with your temper tantrums? I get used. I get treated like the proverbial chopped liver on pay-per-views. I see you wieldin' your new-found power and askin' your friend Richard Eisen, who had reinstated you so many times, to override the booking and make sure you were always on last. You, sir, were the biggest prima donna this side of Axl Rose, and it wasn't long before I'd had it with bein' used. That's why I told Drew, Bryan and Sammy to forget Cornell's low-ball offer and come over to Supreme so we could put an end to all the B.S. (laughs) You should be thankin' me, Tom. Because of me, you've got yet another main event, though you should also remember why the SWF Galaxy shells out so much in tickets and pay-per-view subscriptions. The SWF Galaxy...MY true Constituents, they spend their cash because they want to see ME.

 

Gilmore (quietly at first) - You know that's B.S., Jack. You didn't form the Men Unda Pressure because you had pity on Chris and myself. You formed the Men Unda Pressure because you wanted more. You wanted more, Jack. Havin' the adulation of your Constituents was not enough. You wanted that World title and I'll give you that, the World Heavyweight title is still THE belt in the SWF. You wanted to be part of a dominating faction, and you got it. But then when you got that belt, you got resentful that there were a couple of people sharin' the limelight. When I won Supreme Heavyweight and Darryl won Shooting Star, your insecurity started to overflow. When the kids started gravitatin' towards Chris' Lobby persona and his retirement drew attention, it reached critical mass. But all along, Jack. From Day One. YOU WANTED IT TO BE ALL ABOUT YOURSELF!!!!! YOU NEVER LET ME SAY WHAT I WANTED TO SAY, YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO MAKE US LOOK WEAK, YOU COULDN'T TAKE IT WHEN PEOPLE WOULD BE CHEERING ME, OR CHEERING DARRYL, OR CHEERING CHRIS...YOU WANTED THOSE CHEERS ALL FOR YOURSELF!!!!! So you snapped. You decided to go, "f--- it, I'm convincin' these three guys from the competition." You went "f--- the fans, I'm goin' into business for MYSELF, F--- THE MEN UNDA PRESSURE AND EVERYTHING THEY STAND FOR!!!!" YOU BROUGHT THESE SLIME INTO THE SWF AND YOU, JACK, YOU'RE USIN' THEM, THAT'S RIGHT, USIN' THEM WITH THAT RICH MONEY, JUST LIKE YOU USED THE MEN UNDA PRESSURE!!!! You're the user, Jack...and on Saturday night, I AM GOING TO PUT THE FEAR OF GILMORE INTO YOU IN THAT SQUARED CIRCLE!!!!

 

J. Bruce - Like the wittow baby you are, there you go again, Tom, with that lame "I am rubber, you are glue" comeback. And like the violent excuse for a husband you are, WIFE-BEATER, you're rantin' and ravin' like a madman, and when you can't get your hands on me, you're gonna take it out on poor Jessie. That's why we "borrowed" her, Tom. We couldn't take the fact that she's been suffering...suffering for over a decade with a violent, unpredictable PIG like you! "Jessie, you can't drink. Jessie, you can't smoke. Jessie, don't touch that burger, meat is murder." Years upon years of Jessie this, Jessie that, and she's had enough. And you say she's still with you? Battered woman syndrome.

 

Gilmore - Go on, Jack. Go on and take what you know about me and distort it into your own warped version of the truth, known as LIES. None of that is gonna come in handy on Saturday. YOUR MOUTH WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL AT CHRISTMAS CLASH, JUST LIKE IT WAS RICH MONEY'S AT WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE!!! PREPARE FOR THE WRATH OF SANITY, JACK...THE FEAR OF GILMORE...NO NIGHT WILL BE BETTER THAN SATURDAY NIGHT AS A NIGHT TO BE ANGRY!!!!!

 

J. Bruce - Saturday night alright for fightin', huh? With you, Tom, EVERY night is alright for fightin' with the missus. (pauses) I'm not sayin' we did anything to your wife last week, but as it turns out, she wasn't bein' frigid. (pauses) Looks like someone wasn't happy about a certain Mr. Tom Gilmore's lack of technique...

This causes Gilmore to snap and attack Bruce in the middle of the ring, and pretty soon, Rich Money hits the ring to make it two-on-one! And just when things are looking bad for Gilmore...

 

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/SWF%20Small/33f80c1a-7f2a-4221-a2a3-04fbfef21504_zps5a2b9d02.jpg

 

...Remo dashes into the ring and attacks Rich Money, bodyslamming him onto the table used for the contract signing! He then kicks Jack Bruce in the gut, flooring him with The Destroyer, and with the three other men down and out, he stares Gilmore down for a few seconds, wondering if he should do anything. After thinking it over a bit, he pulls Gilmore up to his feet and helps him back to the locker room, not saying a word, not showing a hint of emotion. He went in there to attack Rich Money, rather than to help Tom Gilmore, and having done what he had to do, he doesn't owe anything to Gilmore.

Michaels - See what I mean? The Remo of old would have shown no compassion to the wifebeater. He would have taken him out with the Destroyer like he did to Jack Bruce, or found another table to smash him against! I consider Remo the underdog in his match against Rich Money. Very long odds.

 

Fry - Even with the awesome display of strength we just saw?

 

Michaels - As Rich Money said, he's become a soft and lazy teddy bear. As for the World title match, choosing between a bad role model of a decadent rock star and a man who has no respect for women and no control over his emotions is like choosing between a rock and a hard place. But I think Jack Bruce, our five-time World champion, is the favorite. And you have to give him credit too, for mending those fences with his ex-girlfriend Karen Killer and their son Bobby Bruce.

 

Azaria - Sometimes I don't know if you're going to bat more for the NMA or if you're still Brandon James' number one fan!

 

Michaels - And that's another travesty. Christian Faith effectively giving Brandon James nothing to do at Christmas Clash! But hopefully that win over the aging, decrepit Acting Commish will convince him to give Brandon a chance.

 

Azaria - We could find out more on the next episode of Elite, featuring yours truly, the Man of a Thousand Facts, Jason Azaria, with Kyle Rhodes and Ana Garcia!

 

Fry - One thing's definite, and that's Christmas Clash shaping up to be a BARNSTORMER! For Peter Michaels and Jason Azaria, this is Duane Fry, saying goodnight, SWF Galaxy!

There won't be any rapping, though, if <strong>Knuckles</strong> and <strong>Shady K</strong>, a.k.a. Death Row, return to the SWF. "I've heard creative wants Steve Frehley to have his own stable in the brand he'll be drafted to," said one source. "So they're calling Kurt (Laramee) up from developmental, and signing Pete (Knuckles) and Karl (Shady K) to a couple of contracts." It's worth mentioning that Knuckles is already part of the Texas Wrestling League roster, though his contract is pay-per-appearance, making him ineligible to be called up and free to wrestle elsewhere, such as in MAW, where he currently reigns as Mid-Atlantic Champion.</p><p> </p><p> In related news, the SWF is reportedly not planning to interfere in TCW's ongoing contract discussions with <strong>Danny Fonzarelli</strong>.

"Danny's no youngster and he's pretty much like an older, slightly taller Robbie Retro," said a person familiar with the discussions. "With that said, I don't think he's part of the SWF's plans." Still no word on whether the SWF has plans to negotiate with <strong>Bruce the Giant</strong>, who has yet to be approached by USPW with a new contract.</p>

But I'm confident. Confident that Valiant, the Honorable American, will use his new-found intensity and channel the anger over his breakup with Hannah into something positive.

Here's Bryan Vessey, one of the world's most talented wrestlers of all time - a true King of all Trades, Mr. All-Everything, as he's called. Yet he feels the need to align himself with people of questionable ethics. But knowing what a menace his brother Larry was in the SWF, and in the competition too, it's no surprise this apple didn't fall too far from the tree. Vessey could win this fair and square, but if you factor in Valiant being about a decade younger, his best chance could be to tire Vessey out with his energetic attacks.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"> </span><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><strong>Dawn</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"> - Also take note that this is a New Money Army match.

And Jack Bruce defeated Rich Money, Remo, Eric Eisen and Steve Frehley in the World Heavyweight Scramble! Oh, when Jack Bruce was still a rock star the kids could look up to. (pauses) Anyway, the rules in a scramble match are as follows - you have a set 20-minute time limit, no more, no less. Two wrestlers start off the match, the third enters at five minutes, the fourth at ten minutes, the fifth at fifteen - order of entry is random. If you pin someone within that 20-minute span, you become interim champion. Anyone can become interim champ for the duration of those 20 minutes, but the SWF Superstar who scores the last pinfall or submission before the time limit expires will end up as the official champion.

But despite the presence of Jack Bruce, Drew Hawkins, Bryan Vessey and Sammy Bach, Davids keeps his focus on the match, slowing down Money with rest holds and the occasional dropkick or impact move. At 9:30, Sammy Bach distracts his namesake Sam Sparrow (who says "Sammy, you didn't have to do that!") as Jack Bruce enters the ring to blatantly floor Davids with the New York Minute! Despite Sparrow's attempt to fast-count Davids, the U.S. champ KICKS OUT AT ONE, and slowly, but surely tries to launch a comeback! Said comeback goes to naught, however, as Sparrow once again allows Bach to distract Davids, giving Money a chance to end the match with a Money in the Bank. The announcers show their disgust towards Sparrow as The New Money Army closes the Elite pay-per-view preview show by celebrating in the ring, spitting on the fallen Davids and flipping the bird at a few angry, sign-bearing fans.</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"> </span><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"><strong>WINNER</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Microsoft Sans Serif';"> - Money in 15:35</span></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="35955" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><strong>Overall Grade - </strong><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">88/B+</span></strong><p><strong> Increased Popularity in 5 Regions</strong></p><p><strong> SWF Elite Rating - 9.12</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> Trending on Twitter - #NMA #NewMoneyArmy #RichMoney #JamesPrudence #DawnCheerleader #JackBruce #TomGilmore #ChristmasClash #SupremeHWScramble</strong></p></div></blockquote>

<p><strong>Thirdy's Thoughts: Post-Shows OOC:</strong></p><p> </p><p>

- Done with five shows and we're now at the halfway point of this diary's final prediction game. So far, <strong>flaviooooo</strong> looks like a strong candidate to win...what is this, his fourth straight prediction game? But we've still got five shows for prediction, and everyone else still has a chance to win it! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

1. flaviooooo - 27/31, <strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">87%</span></strong> (+4/6, 3/4, +1)</p><p>

Russelrules44 - 11/13, <strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">84%</span></strong></p><p>

2. Croquemitaine - 25/31, <strong><span style="color:#2E8B57;">81%</span></strong> (+4/6, 3/4)</p><p>

3. TheAwesomeBatman101 - 16/21, <strong><span style="color:#006400;">76%</span></strong> </p><p>

4. kieranforthewin - 17/23, <strong><span style="color:#006400;">74%</span></strong> (+3/6, 4/4)</p><p>

5. Midnightnick - 21/31, <strong><span style="color:#FFFF00;">68%</span></strong> (+4/6, 2/4, +1)</p><p>

6. Psycho Sam - 20/31, <strong><span style="color:#FFFF00;">65%</span></strong> (+1/6, 3/4)</p><p> </p><p>

- Jack Giedroyc vs Steve Frehley threw everyone off. Figured that since Frehley's taking part in all those squashes helped increase his popularity from the early- to the mid-80s, it would be a nice time for Giedroyc to score an upset. That he did, and I still have every intent to push him as a main eventer (as opposed to being an upper midcarder jobbing to the stars), but unfortunately, he's sneaked into the time decline list, as mentioned last time. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p>

- Still trying to tweak The New Money Army/NMA's catchphrase. Last one I used was wayyyyy too close to the nWo's "when you're nWo, you're nWo for life!" so I'll need to work on that ahead of Christmas Clash.</p><p>

- As you can see, I'm still using the gamey technique of having Bobby Bruce talk about Jack Bruce while not being rated; this time, it was only Jack Bruce rated while Bobby and Darryl Devine weren't. So far, Bobby's popularity is now at 14-15 in most regions. Getting there slowly but surely...</p><p>

- Originally, I wanted Jacob Jett to win High Stakes, but then again, his popularity's far too low for him to be a plausible title contender. With Masked Cougar having won, that pretty much makes it official - he and Fox Mask will be up for a tag title shot of some sort! </p><p>

- With that in mind, I'm launching a second tag title for the brand split, so each major brand has a main event title, a midcard title, and a tag title. DaVE gets the Shooting Star title, plus maybe DaVE Unified as a third midcard title, sorta like the ECW Champion in WWE.</p>

[3rdStringPG]

<p><strong>OOC</strong> - We're now down to the year's final PPV, and predictions are now open! I guess I was too optimistic in predicting everything would be done before my vacation, but Christmas Clash and Uprising, plus the major backstage segment and the Jack Bruce interview should all be complete by then. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

<p><strong>OOC</strong> - Been working on the Jack Bruce interview and seeing that I've got only four days to complete all Week 2 activities, I might use whatever free time I have to wrap that up, then work on Christmas Clash. With the last Elite having mostly served as a preview show for Christmas Clash, I have the luxury of making the PPV less angle-heavy, hence faster to write. </p><p> </p><p>

Wondering how KP's love life is doing? Here's a prelude to the Emerald Angel superprank, starring Kirk Patrick (KP) Avatar and Katherine Patricia (Kathy) Neptune, a.k.a.

My Detroit homecoming was memorable. With Mom, Dad and Charlie watching at the Joe Louis Arena, Steve Frehley took offense to my "Kwanzaa Klash" comment, called me an Uncle Tom, then blasted me with the Frehley's Comet as I took a nasty locker room bump. My back hurt for a couple days, but Charlie loved the segment and Steve was gracious enough to apologize for being a bit too stiff. Unlike other stiff workers out there (Brandon James and Remo, for instance), Steve was undoubtedly a professional. I also got to hang with my Detroit homie Marc Speed, who went to the same high school as the Avatar boys did. Nice guy, I thought, and about time he got a break in the major promotions.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

The SWF's next stop after Detroit, Peoria and Milwaukee was Indianapolis. I stayed home during High Stakes and Elite taping for two reasons - to rest my back and to catch up with family. And I decided to make the drive to Indianapolis myself, leaving Detroit in the late morning and getting there in the afternoon, where I met up with Kathy Neptune. She and her sister Jen had been doing some indie bookings nearby, so it was decided that we'd have another Nicky and Jen/KP Squared double-date. Well, actually, that didn't go according to plan, but in a good way. Nicky and Jen went their own way while Kathy and myself did the same. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KPAvatar.jpg</span><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/KathyNeptune_zpsa75a236c.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Let's face it - many male wrestlers are cretins," said Kathy. "Either they don't have the initiative to make the most of their intelligence, or they aren't very smart at all." Immediately, I thought of two wrestlers who fit those respective categories better than anyone else. And they had both played a significant part in my first year as an SWF Superstar - Eric Eisen and Big Smack Scott.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"And many female valets and wrestlers are...I dunno?", I said, not wanting to slam Dawn for being superficial enough to fall for Drew Hawkins' charm. They were still denying there was a relationship; maybe there wasn't, but they were sure sweet to each other, and it disgusted me to see Dawn act so willing to ignore Drew's transgressions. "This isn't a very intellectual profession, you know?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Indeed it isn't," replied Kathy. "Truth be told, we were roped into BSC back when it started - our hands were tied and we were flat broke. Neither Jen nor myself were working 'cept for the occasional modeling assignment, and we were fresh out of college. Hell, we figured it was better than waitressing or stripping, which is what a lot of the BSC girls were doing before the promotion opened."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Awkward silence followed. Yes, I knew about BSC. My college roommates and I, we'd try to catch BSC's shows whenever they were on public access, and that's where I first saw the Neptunes. They kinda slipped under the radar - I was a bigger fan of Lora Washington, while my roommates preferred Dharma Gregg and Krissy Angelle. And we all palmed our faces when Tamara McFly decided to give BSC a try, shocking her brother Sean and legions of IWC smarks who felt BSC cheapened women's wrestling. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"What's the matter, KP?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Nothing, Kathy. Just thinking...thinking of something."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

And just like that, Kathy got the conversation going again. "I wrote a new poem, KP!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Cool!," I said, my heart rate picking up as I half-expected she'd written it about me. And damned if it wasn't.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>"The dancing fool, he counts the lights</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>

A hundred of them burning bright</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>

Just like the star he'll one day be</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>

For hard work makes his destiny</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em> </em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>

One year has passed, and now he stands</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>

His lessons learned, a better man</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>

A bard who rocks, did well in school</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><em>

Should be more than just a dancing fool"</em></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"That's...beautiful," I said. "And I'm the dancing fool, right? I doubt you were referring to Edd Stone, because that guy doesn't count too many lights these days."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"What do you think, KP?", said Kathy, winking her eyes at me.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

With that, she pulled me closer, and then it happened. The makeout session. The curious stares from people exiting the restaurant we had just eaten at. I wondered how many of those people recognized me from Uprising, or the first Elite episode, where Remmy and myself had jobbed to Texas Justice. This wasn't a very private place, so I suggested we drive elsewhere before someone would yell at us to get a room. Probably not mine, though - Remmy had jobbed at the earlier house show, and chances were he'd be stumbling in drunk and/or stoned at around 2 a.m.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"I think we ought to drive somewhere else," I said. "Maybe one of those IWC nerds had spotted us."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Oh, KP, you sissy," teased Kathy as she put her eyeglasses back on. "IWC nerds spend Friday nights in their bedrooms, arguing on forums and Googling for hot photos of Emma Chase and Dawn the Cheerleader!" She then paused for a few moments, realizing she had accidentally-on-purpose said the "forbidden' words. "Sorry, KP."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Nah, it's no biggie. She'll probably be flying in with Drew and his fellow Y&R Boyz Frank and Edd tomorrow morning. No need to worry about any Dawn sightings."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

10:45 p.m.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

We'd been driving around for about 15 minutes, looking for a place that didn't have a "NO VACANCY" sign hanging on it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Let's get some beer, KP!", suggested Kathy as we approached a 7-Eleven. "Got that fake ID ready, Mr. Star Running Back?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Sure do, Ms. Geeky Hipster from Advanced English!", I replied with my own high school throwback reference. Yes, we felt like we were in high school again, and while we were probably in a similar situation to Dawn and Drew, meaning dating but not necessarily going steady, this was the happiest I'd felt in quite a while when it came to relationships. Happier than I was when Dawn and myself started hitting it off? Maybe yes, maybe no.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Hey...what's that?" As I parked my car, Kathy noticed what looked like a heavily-vandalized mid-2000s Toyota Camry parked near the 7-Eleven. "Looks like your football teammates did a number on the Student Council President's car!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

I decided to take a look at the vandalized Camry, and it didn't seem to be the work of high school jocks on a night of drunken misadventure. Instead, it looked like the work of SWF Superstars, also on a night of drunken misadventure and rookie hazing gone too far.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"USA = NOT OK"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"THIS CAR MINE, YOU SUCK"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"I JOB TO KP AVETAR N REMY SKIE"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"AMERICA, PWEH!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"I SUCK PAWENT'S BAWWS"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Childish, immature, juvenile graffiti. Complete with deliberate misspellings. Surely, this could be the work of the Klubb. And basing on their recent hazing rituals, this looked to be Emerald Angel's rental car. Angel was an eccentric type, very self-righteous and dismissive of American wrestling - he was very unpopular, even among the likes of the 2013 rookie class. Echoing Lenny Brown's rant at the pro-puro Canadian Alan Parent from a few months back, Lenny's best friend Spencer Spade told Angel recently that he should go back and wrestle in Japan if he hates American wrestling so much. Yes, Emerald Angel was a douche. But two wrongs do not make a right, and this was one classic example.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Busted rear window. Busted tires. All that graffiti on Angel's rental Camry. I assessed the damage, concluded Angel would be in big trouble with the rental company, and headed into the 7-Eleven to buy those beers as I continued enjoying my evening with Kathy. Still, I couldn't help but think of what the Klubb just did - they had reached a new low indeed.</span></p>
