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

Big Roguey · May 15, 2013

Alan Parent, huh? That Eisen sure does know how to pick a winner...

SWF Master of Puppets
Greenwalt Dome (Tri State)
Saturday, June 15, 2013

Frankie Perez © vs Cameron Vessey vs Spencer Spade - SWF Shooting Star title match (pre-show, no stipulations)

Hard to see why this would happen now... Vessey and Spade both have some momentum, but Perez is just fine where he is.

Captain Atomic vs Eric Eisen (pre-show, no stipulations)

Eisen gets his back after losing the title.

Randy Bumfhole vs The Zim - Tables Match

Zim has looked sharper, and the first match always goes to the heel.

The Can't Miss Prospects © vs The Allied Forces - Hardcore Match for SWF World Tag Team Titles

Got to agree with the Entourage here, sadly enough -- the Forces haven't found the momentum to take this belt.

Jack Bruce vs Marat Khoklov - Ambulance Match

This stipulation favors a big man like Khoklov, but there is no need to put a part-time attraction and mediocre wrestler over one of the company's marquee faces. So Bruce will find a way -- not sure how, but Bruce will find a way.

Chris Morrisette vs Squeeky McClean © - Lumberjack Match for SWF North American title

Probably some kind of lumberjack-related shenanigans. McClean is probably a transitional title-holder, but THIS transitional? And Morrisette seems like the gatekeeper of the main event, not the king of the midcard -- though then again, it's a natural transition.

Steve Frehley vs Brandon James - Falls Count Anywhere Match for third spot at Supreme Challenge World Heavyweight Title match

Frehley has not produced in the ring. I just don't see him being elevated to title contention if he can't put on a worthy match once he gets there.

Nicky Champion vs Remo © - Ladder Match for SWF World Heavyweight title

Champion has been great, don't get me wrong. But Remo has not shown a bit of weakness since this year started.

Christian Faith vs Vengeance - Steel Cage Match

There's no profit in pushing 46-year-old Faith, but Vengeance is similar if younger: a guy whose value rests in a lot of things, but really not his performance in the ring or his future prospects. I can't see heels winning all three of these... I think a face takes one of the ME titles at Challenge, but not now. Shocking that this is the semi-main, by the way -- there's no way it outperforms Remo-Champion.

Tom "Angry" Gilmore vs Rich Money © - Last Man Standing Match for SWF Supreme Heavyweight title

Much as I like Gilmore, he's just barely crawled into the main event he's deserved for years. One day, I will bet on Rich Money and I will be wrong. That's the price I pay for betting on Rich Money and being right so many times.

SWF Uprising
McGaw Arena (Tri State)
Sunday, June 16, 2013

Koshiro Ino and Biggz in Japan vs Robbie Retro and The Psychedelic Soul Brothers

As if the Brothers didn't seem hapless enough, now they have to carry around Robby "Jobster Warrior" Retro?

Mikey James vs ?????

James basks in the reflected glow of de facto Uprising Guy champion Frankie Perez, taking down some irrelevant jobber or other.

KC Glenn vs Asher Ginsberg

No reason to believe Glenn is suddenly able to win matches.

The Platinum Blondes vs Greed and Envy

Part of being a gatekeeper is that sometimes the other guy cannot get past the gate.

Joshua Taylor vs Roger Cage

We're starting to get into the "could win a match on the main show" part of the card. Not you, Roger.

The Awesomeness vs The Eisen Entourage

Klubb-on-Klubb violence! Seriously, though, the Awesomeness fade into the background with regularity. If there's any reason for their opponents to win, they do the job. if there's any reason for their opponents to take a loss, they win. Simple as that.

Hero Squad vs 24/7 Partay Dudez

Hero Squad were winning even when Jungle Lord looked hopeless. Now that he's slowly regaining his fire, which I imagine will happen after his High Stakes win (of all things), I don't see them mucking that up by giving the Squad a loss against lower-level opposition.

Oregano has posted exactly what my thoughts are. I second his picks.

3rdStringPG · May 15, 2013

OOC - Wow, this is much more time-consuming than I thought...a PPV with all these "extreme" stipulations, eight matches and assorted angles totaling 186 minutes. Makes me wonder how long it will take me to write Supreme Challenge XXXIII. Anyway, I'll be posting the PPV in two parts, starting with this one...

SWF Master of Puppets

Greenwalt Dome (Tri State)

Saturday, June 15, 2013 (Week 2)

PRE-SHOW:

Frankie Perez © (w/Mikey James) vs Cameron Vessey vs Spencer Spade (w/Richie Pangrazzio Jr. and Lenny Brown) - SWF Shooting Star title match (51/D-)

The pre-show starts with Rich Money joining Peter Michaels and Jason Azaria at the announce table - it's obvious he's still looking for his Shooting Star champion. Will it be Perez, the current champ, Vessey, who refused his offer to join The Almighty Dollar, or Spade, who's already accounted for with Richie Pangrazzio Jr. as his manager? Despite being the only man without any support in his corner, Vessey puts on quite a show and nearly has Perez pinned with the Vessey Driver at one point. Spade, on the other hand, is playing it smart, picking his spots and avoiding situations that could lead to his shoulders on the mat, while Perez is relentless in his stiff attacks. The cornermen do their best to distract, but it's Money who surprises everyone by leaving the announce table and distracting Frankie Perez and his teammate/cornerman Mikey James...this allows Spade to land the Supreme Stunner on Vessey and for Sam Sparrow to count ONE...TWO...THREE! We have a new Shooting Star champion in Spencer Spade!

WINNER - Spade in 8:40. Spencer Spade is the NEW SWF Shooting Star Champion.

ANGLE - Money and Spade Form Alliance (71/C+)

Marat Khoklov has just arrived, and he's on guard in case anybody tries something funny. His boss, Rich Money, is in the process of paying off Richie Pangrazzio Jr. as Lenny Brown looks on incredulously. Money and Pangrazzio shake hands, which could suggest the latter would play a part in The Almighty Dollar's future plans, but Brown does not look happy at all. With the deal complete, Money joins Spade in the ring and screams off-mic "WE GOT ALL THE GOLD!!! WE GOT ALL THE GOLD!!!" as the pre-show crowd lustily boos the duo.

ANGLE - Captain Atomic Gets Ready (65/C)

ANGLE - Captain Atomic (w/Jungle Lord) vs Eric Eisen (w/Franklin D. Huggins III and "Bulldozer" Bryan Smith) (65/C)

The Radioactive Wrecking Machine and The Supremacist warm the East Rutherford crowd up with their third match of the year - currently, both men have split the series at 1-all. Jungle Lord nonchalantly watches as The Eisen Entourage's remaining members try to interfere, but Jez McArthuer's no-nonsense approach prevents them from doing anything funny. In the end, the match goes to Captain Atomic who, in a way, avenges Jungle Lord with a surprise Mushroom Cloud on Eric Eisen.

WINNER - Atomic in 6:44

MASTER OF PUPPETS (PART 1):

ANGLE - Master of Puppets Hype Video (86/B+)

And he's back! It's the James Earl Jones Soundalike Voice-Over (JEJSV) talking us through what to expect in the three most anticipated matches at Master of Puppets, the SWF's yearly spectacle of organized violence under "extreme" rules.

JEJSV (speaking as clips from previous matches and promos play in the background) - Christian Faith and Vengeance. The rivalry between these two men dates back to 2007, when the vigilante Skull DeBones unleashed his new persona, Vengeance, and came totally unglued. Or, in the words of Peter Michaels, UNHINGED. For years, these men have chased each other, fought each other in multiple cage matches, but tonight, this could be the most brutal cage match in the history of the SWF. And to get there, Faith and his loyal friend Steve Frehley and new ally Nicky Champion had to go through each and every member of Chase SinCorporated...and it wasn't easy. Tonight, there shall be no escaping from the steel cell. The only way to win...would be by pinfall or submission. There will be no disqualifications, no way to get counted out, and at Master of Puppets, we shall see who shall triumph in this classic tale of good versus evil...or should we say, SIN.

And while Faith versus Vengeance does not have any title on the line, most of the other matches do, including Remo versus Nicky Champion in a Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight title, and Rich Money versus Tom "Angry" Gilmore in a Last Man Standing Match for Supreme Heavyweight. Remo and Rich Money have made it no secret that they weren't happy with Champion's decision to refuse membership in The Almighty Dollar, but are they really behind the series of beatings that left Champion down, but not quite out? That could be the case, as the Alpha Dog, Remo, is not above doing anything and everything to make sure he remains World Heavyweight champion, especially if he's got Money and The Almighty Dollar in his corner.

Money versus Gilmore promises to be no less of a classic, as both men reprise the last few minutes of their encounter at Times of Trouble's six-man Elimination Chamber match for Supreme Heavyweight, where Gilmore gave Money probably the worst beating of his SWF career, only to fall short in the end. With only these two individuals fighting for Supreme Heavyweight, things may be a little different. But one thing's sure to remain the same - this could be the biggest test either Gilmore or Money has to pass in their decorated SWF careers. And given the nature of Last Man Standing matches, and the fact that a title lays on the line, it won't be a surprise if one of these men is never the same again once it's all over and done with.

The hype video ends with the aggressive riffs of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" playing in the background as more clips of the participants of the three main events close out the teaser.

ANGLE - Khoklov Destroys Bruce and Bandmates (71/C+)

Peter Michaels, Duane Fry and Ana Garcia welcome the fans at home to Master of Puppets, but before anything else, the show kicks off with a special musical performance from a band called Raw Dealie-O. None of the announcers know anything about this band, but the drummer looks familiar - you may have seen him in the USPW doing jobs for the immensely talented Giant Redwood and Peter Valentine. (Roll eyes.) The guitarist and bassist are played by two actors who don't look anything like wrestlers. As none of these guys can actually play a lick, the band is miming to a pre-recorded track - their version of Link Wray's late '50s instrumental classic "Rumble", performed by the SWF House Band.

As the song closes, no one has figured out who this band is and why they're here, except to entertain the crowd ahead of Master of Puppets. Duane Fry complains that they should have played Metallica's "Master of Puppets" instead, but his complaints are interrupted by one loud, glass-shattering scream...

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

Bruce - IT'S SHOW-TAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHM!!!!!!!!!!! Good evening, East Rutherford, New Jersey, Greenwalt Dome, it is me, Constituents of the Mayor of Metal, population UMPTEEN MILLION, the Cream of the Crop, the Long Island Angel, Jack Motherbleepin' Bruce!!! Who wants to see me trap big, bad Marat Khoklov in an ambulance TO-FREAKIN'-NIGHT?!?!? (pauses as the crowd cheers their approval) My regular band can't make it tonight, so I've got these three fine men who call themselves Raw Dealie-O, all the way from Seattle...that's Ricky on lead guitar, Tony on bass and Darryl on drums. That's right, these gents hail from the land of grunge, rainy weather and overpriced coffee, and tonight, they're here to help me tell all of my Constituents just exactly who...is rich with nothin'. Hit it, boys!

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

Before Jack Bruce can lead his band to a performance of his new single "Rich with Nothing", the stage is stormed by a giant of a man, standing about 7 feet and a half and bent for destruction. It's none other than Marat Khoklov and he's raising hell tonight, sending the scrawny (kayfabe) bassist and guitarist scurrying offstage and Bruce and Darryl Devine (the USPW jobber and kayfabe grunge rocker) left to fend for themselves! Khoklov sends an immediate message by kicking around the amps on stage and wrecking the drum set as the announcers discuss what's going on...

Fry - Hey guys, The Who's, like, a hundred years old now, perhaps they better hire Marat Khoklov to destroy their instruments for 'em!

Michaels - Very funny, Duane. Can't you see this man has to be stopped?

Fry - Stopped? No one can stop him, Peter. He's Marat Khoklov, the Russian Bear, the single most destructive force ever hired by the SWF.

A. Garcia - You'll have to tell that to Remo, who defeated him at Awesome Impact, Chris Morrisette, who eliminated him at the Battle for Supremacy at The World is Watching, and Mr. Cream of the Crop Jack Bruce, who beat him in that modified cage match at Times of Trouble. He can be stopped, Duane.

Michaels - Now the thing about Remo and Khoklov...

Fry - Enough already, guys! Just look at him go!

The carnage is stopped when several police officers cart Khoklov offstage as Bruce and Devine, none of whom tried attacking, follow the cops. The announcers promise one helluva event tonight at Greenwalt Dome, but before the first commercial break, The Zim has something to say in the upcoming taped promo...

ANGLE - The Zim Rants About Randy B. (69/C+)

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

This taped interview (supposedly shot days before Master of Puppets) takes place on the beach, as The Zim is with a gaggle of pretty young women (and not Ms. Chase), flirting and showing off his well-toned physique to the ladies.

The Zim - School's out for summer, Randy, and this, brother, is what you're missin'. All these ladies I'm with, they're all gonna be up at my hotel room, lining up, one by one, to have themselves a little play date with The Zim. So what if I'm actually older. So what if you helped me with the girls in high school. Thanks a lot for the REJECTS, pal. So what if you taught me how to work the tables. You've been holdin' me down for years, takin' advantage of the fact that you were always Mom's favorite, bein' the Big Man on Campus while I was your dorky older brother Zimmerman. Guess what, brother? We're adults now. I've taken what I've learned from you and applied it in a way only an older brother knows how to. In the ring...on the tables...and IN BED. (makes pelvic thrusting gestures, then turns to his new female friends) Who wants to go first, ladies? BOO-YEAAAAAHHHH!!!

ANGLE - Spade Hypes Title Win (47/D-)

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

Actually, we've got one more interview before the first match, and it's Ana Garcia interviewing Spencer Spade backstage as Michaels and Fry talk about how Spade won the Shooting Star title at the pre-show, with a little help from a new-found friend.

A. Garcia - Spencer, first of all, congratulations on winning the Shooting Star title.

Spade - About freakin' time I did, Ana! About time I started climbing the ladder and moving on up to the big time!

A. Garcia - Still, it surprised me that you're now running with The Almighty Dollar.

Spade - Why shouldn't I? Rich Money is exactly who he says he is...he's Money, and so is everyone he's invited to join his organization.

A. Garcia - Shouldn't that be BOUGHT in order to join his organization?

Spade - Ana, I resent your line of questioning. The talent was there and for them, the money was good. If you want to talk terms of this deal, you'll have to talk to The Almighty Dollar's NEW executive consultant, Mr. Richard Pangrazzio Jr.

A. Garcia - Richie...RPJ? What about Lenny Brown and the 100% Boyz?

Spade - Screw Lenny. He can do whatever the hell he wants, because this ain't his time. This is MY time, MY locker room, MY Spade Wrestling Federation...and when it comes to The Almighty Dollar? MY friends and associates. As for Coach Richie? He works for Money now. Rich Money. And that's all you need to know, Ana.

Spade walks away to end the interview, which means we can finally get down to the action at Master of Puppets...

Randy Bumfhole vs The Zim (w/Ms. Emma Chase) - Tables Match (62/C-)

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

- And it's on! A number of tables are laid out in the ring and at ringside, and the objective, of course, is for one brother to lay the other out on one of the tables. But for starters, Randy and The Zim are mostly dodging each other's attacks, running the ropes and using their leaping ability to move out of the way.
- At around 3:30, The Zim has Randy trapped in one of his hardly-used submissions, an armbar, and while it isn't exactly pretty-looking, Randy sells the move expertly, alternating between tapping out and trying to grab for the ropes. Naturally, tapouts won't end this match...
- Randy does make a successful grab for the ropes, and when he does, The Zim continues controlling the match by attempting to Irish whip him onto one of the tables in the ring. Randy is able to redirect himself and barely miss crashing on the table!
- At 5:30, we're now seeing a little more momentum on Randy's end, and he's now going for the Bumfhole Buster. The Zim is able to counter the move, but in doing so, he accidentally leaves himself vulnerable to a surprise clothesline out of the ring! The Zim couldn't stop himself from landing on the table right next to the announcers...as Randy Bumfhole emerges with the win to kick off Master of Puppets. A quick look at Ms. Chase shows her with her blazer partly unbuttoned...too little too late for the dollar signs!

WINNER - R. Bumfhole in 5:51

ANGLE - Randy B. Beaten Down by Greed and Ginsberg (49/D-)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/JohnGreedalt.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AshCampbellalt_zpsada67e04.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/RandyBumfholealt.jpg

Randy Bumfhole is celebrating his win when two men come running down from the stands like they have done so often in the past. It's John Greed and Asher Ginsberg, and they're doing a number on Randy B.! The two Chase SinCorporated thugs/low men teach Randy the meaning of "Pyrrhic victory" as Ms. Chase watches with a cold, detached look in her eyes. With Greed and Ginsberg (where's Envy?) having destroyed Randy Bumfhole, the two exit, help The Zim up, and return to the locker room with Ms. Chase as the crowd showers them with boos...and scattered chants of "DOLLAR SIGNS!"

ANGLE - Money Rants About Bruce (77/B-)

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

Dawn the Cheerleader is backstage, interviewing Rich Money in the catering area. Glass of wine in hand and dressed in an impeccable three-piece suit, Money looks unflappable tonight as he stands a few feet away from Dawn...

Dawn - WHOOOOOOO!!!! GOOOOOOO RANDY!!!! That was definitely a great way to start of our night here at the Greenwalt Dome, as we move on to the rest of Master of Puppets! Though I sure hope Randy's okay...

Money (bumping into Dawn) - Tell me something, Dawn. Do you really care about underneath guys like the Bickering Bumfhole Brothers?

Dawn - Oh, hi, Rich Money! I was actually looking for you. What would you mean by underneath guys?

Money - Drop the pretenses, Dawn, and get with the program. You know what I'm talking about, and so do the MARKS of the SWF Galaxy. Curtain-jerkers. Jabronis. Light-counters. Giants among midgets. Have you ever seen The Amazing Bumfholes pull off a win over The Almighty Dollar?

Dawn - I don't think I have...

Money - Because you haven't. You wanna talk to me about tonight, my crowning achievement and, God forbid, Jack Bruce and the Men Unda Pressure?

Dawn - Yes I do, Rich...how does it feel to have all the SWF's gold in your possession? Some may say you did it the dishonest way, having interfered for Squeeky McClean and Spencer Spade, having purchased The Can't Miss Prospects from Chase SinCorporated...

Money - A Moneyman's got to do what a Moneyman's got to do, Dawn. Simple as that. And it feels GREAT to have it all. Glass of wine? (snaps his fingers to call a waiter at the catering area)

Dawn - No thanks, Rich. Now maybe you'd like to tell the SWF Galaxy about Marat Khoklov's destructive behavior and how he wrecked Jack Bruce's surprise musical number?

Money - A job well done. (pauses and starts addressing Jack Bruce and the Men Unda Pressure) That, Jack...that was, and is what I think about your music. And I don't care what band you've got backing you up. If we can forget about the idealistic concept of good versus evil for a moment...you know, Christian Faith versus Vengeance, or the childish bickering of Randy and Zimmy Bumfhole, you'll see that tonight is all about Money. Each and every member of The Almighty Dollar is represented tonight...and RIGHT NOW, right at this minute, at this very arena, you are looking at a man who HAS IT ALL. I did what I set out to do all these months ago, Jack. And your Men Unda Pressure haven't done a damn thing to successfully stop it. I've got all the gold, Men Unda Pressure. And because we're Money and that three-man non-musical band of yours definitely is not, we will walk away tonight with all the gold.

Dawn - Thanks for your time, Rich, and best of luck against Tom Gilmore tonight.

Money - I don't need luck, Dawn. Because as I keep saying to you and all those MARKS of the SWF Galaxy. I'm Money. I don't rely on the luck of the draw.

ANGLE - Davids Gets Ready (72/B-)

The Allied Forces (w/Hannah) vs The Can't Miss Prospects © (w/Rich Money) - Hardcore Match for SWF World Tag Team titles (57/D+)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Rogue.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/Valiantalt_zps2d1f1d31.jpg vs http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/DesDavids.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/MarcDuBois.jpg

- This is a bit of an odd match, considering Des Davids is probably the only man among the four competitors well-suited to hardcore wrestling. A variety of weapons can be found inside and outside the ring, including Jack Giedroyc's gimmicked cattle prod from the Wrath of God days. Marc DuBois acts especially hammy when Giedroyc "shocks" him with the prod early in the match. Hmmmm. Didn't know weed did that to him now...IF he is still using.
- A continuing trend can be seen in the first half of the match. While Giedroyc and DuBois are half-heartedly battling it out with chairs, baseball bats, kendo sticks and other implements of destruction, Davids seems quite eager to use all these foreign objects. Valiant, on the other hand, couldn't care less for foreign objects. This leads to Davids smashing his face with a kendo stick and going for a cover. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!
- Valiant finds himself isolated for several minutes, as Davids and DuBois enter illegally from time to time (the only rule here, apparently, is no illegal double-teaming - otherwise, anything goes) and bash him with chairs and kendo sticks. Giedroyc tries several times to step in, but gets lectured repeatedly by referee Sam Sparrow.
- At 9:30, Giedroyc gets the hot tag and he's fuming at Sparrow, who reprimands him for entering illegally when it was clear that his hand had touched Valiant's! He ignores Sparrow's warning and unloads on Davids, then DuBois. Giedroyc comes Crashing on DuBois at 10:20, as the original Can't Miss Prospect's head lands on a folding chair. Sparrow counts ONE....TWO....KICKOUT AFTER THE SLOW COUNT!
- Valiant has yet to touch one of the foreign objects at the 11-minute mark when he tags in and grabs one of the chairs, hoping to smash Davids with it. Davids, however, ducks out of the way and, as he runs the ropes on the rebound, nails Valiant with the Quarterback Sack! Davids is now clearly using the ropes as he covers Valiant. ONE..TWO..THREE! Sam Sparrow scores another one for The Almighty Dollar as he fast-counts Valiant AND allows Davids to use the ropes! The crowd, as well as the announcers (save for Fry) are outraged at the result!

WINNERS - The Can't Miss Prospects in 11:21. The Can't Miss Prospects are STILL the SWF World Tag Team Champions.

ANGLE - The Can't Miss Prospects Celebrate (66/C+)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/DesDavids.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/MarcDuBois.jpg

The Can't Miss Prospects remain in the ring as they hold their tag team belts high in the air and give Sam Sparrow a hearty slap in the back. Meanwhile, outside the ring, Rich Money is seen shaking hands with the crooked referee. Peter Michaels and Ana Garcia complain about the lack of justice, and wish Commissioner Barry Bowen would do something about all this. Duane Fry justifies Sparrow's actions, saying Valiant deserved to lose, because "that short-haired sissy chose not to take advantage of the stipulations of the match! Anyone who chooses not to use weapons in a hardcore match deserves to lose!" The camera then pans over to the parking lot, where a large ambulance is waiting outside, perhaps in anticipation of a possible Marat Khoklov loss in the upcoming Ambulance Match versus Jack Bruce...

Jack Bruce vs Marat Khoklov - Ambulance Match (71/C+)

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

- As the ambulance backs into the arena, the announcers explain how this match works - trap your opponent inside the ambulance, and drive it out of the arena. No count-outs, no disqualifications, anything goes. And, as Peter Michaels points out, if last month's Bruce vs Khoklov match was a matter of who got out first, this month's match is all about who traps the other one inside first. Touche.
- Bruce starts out quite nicely with a superkick that stuns Khoklov and has him stumbling, and teases the New York Minute for a few seconds before realizing his goal is not to go for a pinfall, but to trap the Russian Bear inside the ambulance. Still, he gets the crowd popped as he ironically knocks Khoklov off his feet with a Russian legsweep.
- Bruce's burst of offense is short-lived, because as soon as both men are out of the ring, Khoklov senses that it's his time to shine. He repeatedly smashes Bruce against the barricades and against the steel steps, but that's not enough to take him out so early...
- At around 6:30, the action now moves close to the ambulance, as Bruce tries his darndest to knock Khoklov out and soften him up. After several chops fail to do the trick, Bruce dodges a Khoklov clothesline and leads him to one of the ambulance doors, which he smashes repeatedly on Khoklov's face! That's got the big man dazed, and Bruce looks ready for the kill as he climbs up the ambulance and goes for what could be a diving move on Khoklov!
- Yes, it does look like a top-of-the-ambulance legdrop, but Khoklov, now 90 percent recovered catches Bruce in his arms, smashes him against the side of the ambulance, and Russian Legend Powerbombs him on the floor! Bruce is out cold, and that allows Khoklov to effortlessly shove him into the ambulance, close the back door and drive off to the parking lot as the bell rings.

WINNER - Khoklov in 8:41

ANGLE - Gilmore and Morrisette Beat Down on Khoklov (80/B)

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

Khoklov is able to drive the ambulance back to the parking lot, but as soon as he exits, he is jumped from behind by Tom Gilmore and Chris Morrisette, both of whom combine to weigh just about as much as Khoklov! The two smaller Men Unda Pressure are unable to make Khoklov sell, until Morrisette runs in front of Khoklov to set up an Anger Management from Gilmore on the much bigger Russian! Khoklov is now knocked out on the pavement as Gilmore and Morrisette open the ambulance door and help Bruce back to the locker room.

ANGLE - Gilmore, Morrisette, Devine Form Alliance (68/C+)

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

After a short commercial break, we return to Master of Puppets and see Tom "Angry" Gilmore and Chris Morrisette asking Jack Bruce if he can serve as a lumberjack in the upcoming North American title match. Bruce looks worse for the wear, and looks to be begging off. Currently, the lumberjacks remaining for Morrisette are Gilmore and The Awesomeness, so that leaves C-Mo's "team" with one opening, which will be filled by...

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/DarrylDevine_alt1-1_zpsb38275a9.jpg

Devine - Excuse me...is Jack alright?

Gilmore (in a low and sinister tone) - Go away. Only SWF employees are allowed here.

Devine - I was contracted to play drums for Jack tonight, and security said I can go check on Jack if he's okay...

Morrisette - He's fine, sir, but shouldn't you be with your band?

Bruce (wearily nodding his head) - It's okay, boys, Darryl's cool. He can wrestle too...

Morrisette - Alright, Darryl...since Jack here says you're okay, perhaps you can help out by being one of our lumberjacks? You'll be helping Tom and The Awesomeness out. Jeff Stardust and Huey Cannonball.

Devine - Cool, man. (extends his hand) Darryl Devine, drummer of Raw Dealie-O, from Seattle.

Morrisette - Chris Morrisette. And that's Tom "Angry" Gilmore.

Gilmore (whispering to Morrisette) - Are you sure you wanna do this?

Morrisette (whispering back) - Trust me on this, Tom, I'm the one going out in the ring, and I'm the one who should be worried. This Darryl guy seems to check out, and if he says he wrestles too...

Devine (overhearing the conversation) - Actually, I used to work with Nicky Champion.

Gilmore (shaking his head) - No, not Champion...that guy who refused to join us?

Morrisette - Tom, just chill out for a moment and quit ragging on Champion. At least he didn't join The Almighty Dollar either! (to Devine) Welcome aboard, Darryl. For tonight, you and The Awesomeness will be honorary Men Unda Pressure.

Devine exchanges another handshake with Morrisette, then with Bruce, then with a reluctant Gilmore as the segment ends.

(L-R) - Remo, Des Davids, Marc DuBois, Spencer Spade

- It will be the lumberjacks' job to keep the action in the ring, and that's how it looks like early on, as The Awesomeness teams up to roll Squeeky McClean back in as he tries to bolt out after a flurry of Chris Morrisette elbows and punches.
- Morrisette continues his strong run, flooring Squeeky with a DDT, then going for an early cover. ONE...KICKOUT! C-Mo, looking more focused than ever, kicks Squeeky as he's down and slows him down with some chain wrestling moves as he tries to get up.
- We have more weaseling from Squeeky as Morrisette wraps him up in a figure-four leglock variation. Squeeky's begging for mercy, asking for Morrisette to let go, and sure enough, the Almighty Dollar lumberjacks are there to help! Spencer Spade leaps up on the apron to distract Shane Stones while Des Davids steps inside the ring to level Morrisette with a big boot to the chest. C-Mo lets go of the hold, and McClean is now in control!
- Instead of helping him back to the ring, Des Davids and Marc DuBois isolate Morrisette in their ringside corner after a McClean clothesline and beat down on him outside! Stones asks the two Almighty Dollar lumberjacks to cut it out, and they reluctantly send him back into the ring.
- Though not officially lumberjacks, Rich Money and Richie Pangrazzio Jr. once again try to throw Stones' focus off by complaining about phantom calls, and that allows all four Almighty Dollar lumberjacks to work together to give McClean the win! The Can't Miss Prospects take care of Jeff Stardust and Darryl Devine, while Remo clotheslines Tom Gilmore before climbing inside. Huey Cannonball is the only Men Unda Pressure lumberjack able to interfere, sending Spencer Spade out of the ring and sneaking a kick to the gut on McClean, and is able to return to ringside in time for Stones to regain his focus. But the damage has been done - earlier, Remo had nailed Morrisette with the Destroyer, and he's lying down on the mat, ready to be covered. ONE...TWO...THREE! Squeeky McClean retains, and it's once again through illegal means!

WINNER - McClean in 8:22. Squeeky McClean is STILL the SWF North American Champion.

THE Darryl Devine?

Can't wait for Pt. 2, hope it's gonna be awesome (and it will be).

3rdStringPG · May 16, 2013

OOC - Yes, it's Darryl Devine alright! And for now, he's an "honorary" Man Unda Pressure...not an official member of the stable but definitely one of Jack Bruce's allies.

MASTER OF PUPPETS (PART 2):

ANGLE - Frehley Rants About James (76/B-)

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

We've got another pre-taped interview, and it's Steve Frehley in a dark back alley, with his ring music playing in the background as he paces around. He's wearing a beanie, a black leather jacket, a black "Dark Destroyer" t-shirt and blue jeans, and is looking as tough as ever as he starts speaking.

Frehley - It's been so long. Been quite a while, Frehley-natics. Five months since I've last held that SWF World Heavyweight title in my hands and worn it around my waist and it feels like five f---in' decades. Master of Puppets is gonna be the first big step back to that title...and believe me, all those baby steps I took to get there...crushin' Greed and Envy with my homie Christian Faith...takin' it to the streets with Asher Ginsberg...that was easy, man. No matter how anyone tries to play it, that was easy. And talkin' about Brandon James, whom I'll be takin' on in a Falls Count Anywhere match? Let's just say it won't be that easy...but I'mma be prepared. He got the brains. He got the brawn. But his Ivy League-educated ass don't got one thing that I got, and that's an education, man...in the School of Hard Knocks. I've been fightin' even before I was young enough to go to school...for respect, for the honor of my family, for the opportunity to rise above it all and be somebody. So go ahead, Brandon, go ahead and spout those big words and flaunt your intelligence...they ain't gonna mean nothin' when the Comet comes strikin' you down. And when it does, Brandon, I'mma be headin' to Supreme Challenge XXXIII and fightin' for that World Heavyweight gold. Brandon James...Y'ALL AIN'T S---!!!

ANGLE - James Gets Ready (79/B)

Brandon James is getting ready for tonight's Falls Count Anywhere match against Steve Frehley for the third spot at the Supreme Challenge XXXIII Triple Threat Match for World Heavyweight. And he's doing that by arguing on the phone with someone, possibly a stockbroker, talking about "Underweight" stock ratings and threatening to fire him if he believes what the market analysts say about Chase SinCorporated stocks.

Steve Frehley vs Brandon James - Falls Count Anywhere Match for third spot at Supreme Challenge World Heavyweight Title match (64/C)

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

- As most Falls Count Anywhere matches do, the match starts out in the ring and stays there for the next few minutes. The hot crowd seems to be all over Frehley and James - despite the hard-hitting action, which includes a gutwrench suplex on James leading to a cover and kickout, a good number of "BORING!" chants can be heard from the rowdy Greenwalt Dome crowd.
- At about 3:40, the match moves outside the ring, and at this point, Brandon James is in control, smashing Frehley against the steel steps and repeatedly ramming him against the barricades. James, who doesn't have Emma Chase in his corner right now, spears Frehley against the steps one more time for good measure and goes for the cover right in front of the announcers. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!
- After the ringside sequence, James brutally drags Frehley to the stands, and makes full use of the Master of Puppets set, attacking the Dark Destroyer with chairs and going for a cover after smashing Frehley with a fire extinguisher. ONE...TWO...NEAR WIN FOR JAMES BUT FREHLEY KICKS OUT OF IT!
- The 7:30 mark sees Frehley and James now brawling closer to the locker room...James drags Frehley inside the locker room as Ric Young trails along, and once both men are inside, Frehley is surprised by a wooden chair shot courtesy of John Greed! It's all legal here, and Frehley stumbles to the ground and into the waiting arms of James, who goes for the Big Money Move. But the move is countered, and before you know it, Steve Frehley's going for the Frehley's Comet! BOOM! Both men are almost out of it, and fortunately, Greed's not around anymore to give James some strength in numbers.
- Frehley is the first to go for the cover in the locker room, and Ric Young starts counting. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT BIG MONEY!!!
- Wanting to avoid more SinCorporated interference, Frehley regains his bearings and takes the fight to the utility part of the backstage area. It's now even, with both men exchanging blows as they head to that part of the stadium. James is looking for some sort of an advantage...he tries to German suplex Frehley onto the concrete, and once again, he looks quite sure of winning. ONE...TWO...FREHLEY KICKS OUT AGAIN! James heads to the direction of the locker room, in hopes of leading Frehley back to where Chase SinCorporated can interfere, but that actually buys the Dark Destroyer some recovery time...
- At a little past 12 minutes, the match remains even and in the utility area, as James is preparing to smash Frehley with one of the boards lying around in the area. Frehley dodges that attack and, with a sudden burst of energy, lets loose with the Dark Destroyer Spear! He's got the cover, the leg is hooked, and it's time for Ric Young to count. ONE...TWO...THREE! Steve Frehley is going to Supreme Challenge with a World Heavyweight title shot!

WINNER - Frehley in 12:48. Steve Frehley to face Remo or Nicky Champion and Jack Bruce in a three-way match for the SWF World Heavyweight title at Supreme Challenge XXXIII.

ANGLE - Remo Gets Ready (79/B)

Looking as ornery as ever, Remo is walking to the ring, accompanied by Rich Money and Marat Khoklov, as he prepares to defend his World Heavyweight title against Nicky Champion.

Nicky Champion vs Remo © - Ladder Match for SWF World Heavyweight title (81/B)

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

- It's more than just kayfabe - this is Nicky Champion's first-ever Ladder Match, as Sam Strong doesn't believe in such newfangled nonsense in USPW. Will he be up to the challenge and grab that hanging World Heavyweight belt to become a main event champion in two promotions? In the opening minutes, it's anyone's match, with no ladder in the ring, as Champion and Remo spend most of their time dodging attacks and pausing to scout each other's game plans.
- Champion makes an early attempt to step out of the ring and retrieve the ladder, at around 3:30, but gets preempted by Remo, who follows him out and whips him to one of the ringposts. Champion looks dazed as Remo walks towards the ladder...he tries catching up with Remo, who swings the ladder at Champion and comes this close to knocking the Hawkeye out!
- With the ladder in his possession, Remo sets it up and begins his climb. The Alpha Dog could win this in less than five minutes. He's up one step...is going for two...but Champion surprises him by pushing the ladder sideways and bodyslamming him against it! Champion doesn't look too good himself, but he's still in this one...
- Both Champion and Remo use the ladder quite effectively as a weapon in an even exchange that lasts from minutes 5 to 9, bashing each other with it, performing impact moves on it, but not quite setting it up to grab for the belt.
- At around 9:30, it's Champion's turn to climb the ladder, and just as he seems poised to grab it, he's pulled from behind by Remo, who sets him up for a Lumbar Puncture on the ladder! The ladder crashes down and Champion writhes in pain as Remo gloats for the crowd, yelling "I AM THE ALPHA DOG!!!"
- Remo continues controlling the match at 11:20, preferring to punish Champion rather than set up the ladder. At 12:00, he finally does, and he starts his climb up the steps. The climb is slow and agonizing, considering the pain Remo had been through earlier, and he's this close to grabbing the belt when he finds himself taking a not-quite-crazy-but-almost bump, thanks to Champion shaking and pushing the ladder! Remo falls off from the top of the ladder, just as he seemed so close! Because this is one of Champion's Sam Strong-influenced second winds, it works for the Hawkeye, and he's dancing, stomping, yelling Native American battle cries as it's now his turn to try softening Remo up.
- After several aborted climbs from Champion, the crowd is popped when Champion Hawkeye Hammers Remo, then sets him up for a Papoose Piledriver on the ladder! He's going for it...and Remo's in a world of pain!
- As we move closer to 17 minutes, Champion is moving towards the ladder to set it up. He's getting there...he's got the ladder propped and he's ready to climb...and he does! But Remo, like an alpha dog going hunting suddenly springs up, pushes the ladder as Champion is at the second-to-last step, and it's now Champion's turn to fall down! And Remo adds insult to injury with a Destroyer on Champion! That took a lot of energy as Remo is clearly dizzy from the earlier attacks.
- The ladder's up and Remo's now climbing. One step...two steps...three...four...Champion's getting up and he's crawling towards the ladder. The slow, agonizing climb continues as Remo's on the second-to-last step while Champion's on the second and trying to muster more energy reserves. Remo's right arm is stretching for the belt. Champion unloads with a punch...but it's too late as Remo has the World Heavyweight gold in his hand! He's keeping the title, and he's done it without any help from The Almighty Dollar.

WINNER - Remo in 18:29. Remo is STILL the SWF World Heavyweight Champion.

ANGLE - Faith Gets Ready (80/B)

We get a final glimpse of the steel cage to be used in the Faith vs Vengeance grudge match, then at Christian Faith, who is saying a prayer before his match, and met by a bunch of rowdy undercard faces (including KP Avatar and Remmy Skye), all of whom are wishing him luck. Avatar is heard shouting "Win one for the Kipper!" as Faith and cornerman Steve Frehley walk to the ring.

Christian Faith (w/Steve Frehley) vs Vengeance (w/Ms. Emma Chase and John Greed) - Steel Cage Match (80/B)

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

- This match has been months in the making, some say years, and it's the third encounter between Vengeance and Faith for 2013. Vengeance leads the series 2-0, and the onus is on Christian Faith to win one for himself, his Faithful, and for the forces of good. It's also worth mentioning Faith has yet to win a match on PPV this year...
- Things start slow and steady, with no shortage of rest holds from both sides, and a few forearms, punches and kicks in between the holds. But business starts picking up at around 2:50, as a Vengeance clothesline on Faith sends both men tumbling out of the ring! Once there, Vengeance makes good use of his surroundings, punishing Faith by ramming his head against the steel cage, then whipping him onto the steps.
- This goes on for a couple more minutes, until Faith counters a Vengeance attack and sitout powerbombs the Father of Sin on the cold, hard floor! Faith re-enters the ring to recover as Steve Frehley yells encouragements from outside the cage.
- After Faith briefly goes on the offensive, Vengeance regains the upper hand with a clothesline from the second rope, which allows him to pick Faith up and choke him against the ropes. He quickly takes the match back outside of the ring and uses the walls of the cage to inflict more damage on the Supreme Legend. Meanwhile, Frehley gets warned by outside official Ric Young for being too passionate (read: profane) in his encouragement...
- The 10-minute mark sees Vengeance and Faith back in the ring, as the former goes for a Six Feet Under on the latter. The force of the chokeslam looks pretty damn close to knocking the wind out of Faith, and with that in mind, Ms. Chase and John Greed look silently confident as their Chairman, Vengeance, goes for the cover. ONE...TWO...MIRACULOUS KICKOUT BY FAITH!
- As we move past the midway point, it's been mostly Vengeance in control, but after a nasty piledriver fails to put Faith away, the Supreme Legend is now getting ready for a Faith-Up! He sits up just moments after kicking out of a Vengeance cover, and, in a rare moment, removes his omnipresent black shirt to show that he means business. As both men circle the ring, Faith is homing in for the kill, and after Irish whipping Vengeance against the turnbuckle, he leaps to the second rope and starts mounting punch after punch on the big guy's face! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN! This crowd is POPPED!
- With the crowd shouting "WE HAVE FAITH!" till their throats go hoarse, Faith is still in control at 15:10 as he delivers a Big Boot onto Vengeance and sets him up for a double underhook piledriver. It connects, and Faith covers Vengeance. ONE...TWO...KICKOUT!
- So far, we've seen a very restrained Ms. Chase tonight, as she has yet to show the dollar signs in earnest...perhaps she knows they won't distract Faith, as he goes for the Leap of Faith at 17:20. This is his one and only top-rope move, and as he goes for it...Vengeance rolls away and now it's his turn to find a second wind! He goes for a belly-to-back suplex on Faith and covers him...could this be it? ONE...TWO...FAITH KICKS OUT AND RAISES HIS ARM! Vengeance cannot believe it! He angrily drags Faith outside for more punishment against the cage, however...
- ...Faith grabs on to the ropes, surprising Vengeance, and the action remains in the ring! Up to around 21:30, it's mostly Vengeance, until Faith builds momentum off a missed clothesline from Vengeance, nails the Father of Sin with a Northern Lights suplex, and climbs to the top rope for the Leap of Faith! Here comes the legdrop...and it lands on Vengeance leading to a three-count! ONE...TWO...THREE! FAITH WINS!!! FAITH WINS!!! FAITH WINS!!!

Michaels - FAITH WINS!!! FAITH WINS!!! FAITH WINS!!!

A. Garcia - After all these months. He formed the Sons of Sin. He and Ms. Chase merged their factions to form Chase SinCorporated. Yet Vengeance has failed, in the end, to put Christian Faith away. Of all the losses Vengeance has incurred this year, this could be the one that gnaws at him.

Michaels - Have to agree with you there, Ana. See, Vengeance doesn't care much about titles anymore. He cares about punishing Christian Faith and making sure the SWF Galaxy recognizes the power of evil. Well, guess that's the end of that for Vengeance, though you'll never know with the man who once answered exclusively to Skull DeBones. (pauses, as the camera shifts to Steve Frehley and several "underneath" babyfaces) LOOK!!! They're hoisting Faith on his shoulders! And John Greed and Ms. Chase don't seem to care! Usually, it's hard to read anything aside from lust in Ms. Chase's facial expressions, but now, she looks DEFEATED! This is a magical moment for the SWF Galaxy! LISTEN TO THAT CROWD ROAR!!!

Fry - Big deal! The SWF Galaxy ain't seen nothin' yet, because we've still got Rich Money defending against Tom Gilmore in a Last Man Standing match! Now THAT'S a barnstormer!

WINNER - Faith in 22:12

ANGLE - Faith, Frehley and Champion Celebrate (78/B)

Joining us backstage is Dawn the Cheerleader, who's at the catering area with Nicky Champion. Despite his earlier loss to Remo, he seems happy that Christian Faith has walked away the better man in his Steel Cage match against Vengeance.

Dawn - WHOOOOOOOOO CHRISTIAN!!!! Dawn the Cheerleader here backstage with Nicky Champion, who put up a gutsy effort against Remo for the World Heavyweight title, but still fell short in the end.

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

Champion - Nicky Champion has got to give it to Remo. That was the first time Nicky Champion saw him rely on ability rather than his Almighty Dollar buddies, and he put on a good fight.

Dawn - Any plans to invoke your right to a rematch?

Champion - Well, Dawn, if it's gonna be my ticket to Supreme Challenge, then so be it. Nicky Champion has a lot of regrouping to do, but Nicky Champion will promise you this. I'll be back in the title hunt before you know it.

Dawn - But I'm sure today wasn't a total loss for you, right, Nicky? Your friend Christian Faith, after all, did beat Vengeance in that BARNSTORMER of a Steel Cage Match! WHOOOOOOOO!!! Take that, Duane Fry!

Champion - Nicky Champion can't say for sure that he's Christian Faith's friend, but let me tell you this, Dawn the Cheerleader, Nicky Champion's glad that Vengeance was NOT his that night. Christian Faith's one helluva competitor, and he's one man Nicky Champion wouldn't mind having his back.

Dawn - Speaking of Christian, here he is now!

The catering room door opens, as Christian Faith, weary from his match, is given a victory ride by Steve Frehley and several lower-card and midcard guys from the babyface side - KP Avatar, Remmy Skye, James Prudence, Freddy Garcia, Cam Vessey, Mikey James and Joshua Taylor. All of them are shouting "WE HAVE FAITH!" as the jubilant group enters the catering area.

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

Dawn - WOOOOOO-HOOOOOOO!!!! (does several cheerleader moves to welcome Faith and Frehley into the room) Christian Faith has finally defeated Vengeance, and Steve Frehley's going to Supreme Challenge and fighting for World Heavyweight! (notices Frehley turning to the victory ride guys)

Frehley (OC) - Could y'all excuse us for a moment? Got an interview here...

Avatar - Whatchoo talkin' about, Steve? We wanna party with the Supreme Legend! WE HAVE FAITH!!!

Frehley - It's an interview, man! Now don't worry! I'm gonna ask y'all to come back in just a bit. We just need a little quiet... (locks the door)

Dawn - That was really nice of Steve, wouldn't you say?

Champion - I'm just glad all of us are on the same page, Dawn. For a moment, I suspected Christian of masterminding those attacks on me. But right now, it's pretty obvious who's behind it, and they're scared of Nicky Champion. You know who they are...Kaching! Kaching!

Frehley (to Champion) - Don't worry about these mofos, man...you did great against Remo! You gonna mop the floor with his ass next time!

Dawn - Christian, do you think with this win over Vengeance, you have defeated Chase SinCorporated?

Frehley (interrupting) - HELL WE DID! You shoulda seen the look on Ms. Chase's ugly face!

Faith - Well, Dawn, you can never get too complacent even with a big win over Vengeance. Though he's dark and twisted, Vengeance is extremely smart, and it will not surprise me if he's got something up his sleeve.

Frehley - Guess you're right...we always gotta be on the lookout. Gotta stay vigilant for that one-time vigilante...you'll never know when he's gonna strike again!

ANGLE - Frehley Turns on Champion and Faith (76/B-)

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

Faith - For now, all is well. I had Faith. Nicky had Faith. Steve had Faith. This is definitely the biggest night I've had all year, and I wouldn't have done it without these guys' support.

Champion - To say it like they said back in decades before the birth of Nicky Champion...THREE CHEERS FOR CHRISTIAN FAITH!!!! But no way is Nicky Champion gonna do it Hip-Hip Hooray old-school style! Gonna scream it like Peter Michaels did! FAITH WINS!!! FAITH WINS!!! FAITH...

With no advance warning whatsoever, Steve Frehley snaps and knocks Nicky Champion down with a DDT on the catering room floor! Dawn and Christian Faith are taken aback at the sudden turn, and before Faith can come to the rescue of Champion, Frehley knocks the Supreme Legend out with the Frehley's Comet! This is all looking unreal as Dawn looks on, unsure of what to say or do...

Dawn - Steve, I don't understand what...

Frehley - YOU STAY OUTTA THIS, B---H! THIS IS NONE OF YOUR F---ING BUSINESS!!!

Frehley continues destroying Faith and Champion, pausing to cause some property damage in the catering area by bodyslamming Faith, his one-time best friend and ally, onto one of the tables, and sending food scattering all over the room! Just as Champion seems to have recovered, Frehley senses the attack, elbows Champion from behind, and takes him out too with the Comet! The announcers cannot believe what is going on as Steve Frehley's heel turn was a complete success.

Frehley (unlocking the door and leading the shocked Dawn outside, where the babyface jobbers/midcarders were waiting to enter) - You can come in now, boys. Hope you enjoy what I did to your heroes...YESTERDAY'S heroes.

ANGLE - Money Gets Ready (79/B)

Meanwhile, Rich Money is lacing up his boots and getting ready for his match. Money had apparently been watching the shocking heel turn occur on a locker room TV, and chimes in with a few comments as he prepares to defend his Supreme Heavyweight title.

Money - That Frehley never was, and never will be Money, but I knew it all along, Champion. I just wanted you to be the last to know. Now THAT is Money.

Tom "Angry Gilmore" (w/Jessie) vs Rich Money © - Last Man Standing Match for SWF Supreme Heavyweight title (88/B+)

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

- As is often the case with these two ring generals, the match starts with a slow build...no abrupt attacks, but some good fundamental wrestling with a few armdrag takedowns and basic clotheslines to take the other man down. Of course, that wouldn't be worth the count of two in this type of match. At four minutes, the attacks slowly increase in impact, with Money stunning Gilmore with a running forearm. ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...no worries, the good guy stands up.
- And we see more power moves from minutes four to six, a few knockdowns good for a four- or five-count, but nothing substantial as of yet.
- Some of the best technical moments can be seen at close to seven minutes, as Money and Gilmore counter each other's moves for several seconds, until Money levels his opponent with a fireman's carry slam! ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...Gilmore's up!
- Crazy bump time starts at 11:00, as Gilmore interrupts a Dollars from Heaven attempt from Money, countering it with a superplex onto the protective mats at ringside! ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX...SEVEN...Money gets up, but Gilmore follows him outside to continue the assault!
- Both men are now outside the ring at the 12:30 mark, and Gilmore removes one of the protective mats to set Money up for an Anger Management on the concrete. He goes for it...and BOOM!!! Money is out, and Stones starts counting. ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX...SEVEN...EIGHT...NINE...MONEY ANSWERS AT NINE! Gilmore decides to expedite things by pulling a kendo stick from underneath the ring, and uses it against Money.
- As Gilmore continues battering Money with the kendo stick (and busting him wide open in the process), a shrill scream of "YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO RICH!!!" interrupts his act of carnage - it's Money's girlfriend Lisa, whom we haven't seen on screen for a while! Gilmore, accompanied by Jessie, accosts Lisa, but is interrupted by the woman's father...

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

- IT'S BARRY BOWEN!!! Rich Money has been dating the Commissioner's daughter all along! Bowen scolds Gilmore for confronting his daughter Lisa, and with Money still dazed and bloody, Gilmore takes Bowen out with the Anger Management! Now Lisa's screaming even louder as she looks at her hapless father at ringside...he looks hurt! Seriously hurt! Gilmore barks "HE DESERVED IT!" at Lisa as he continues working on her boyfriend, the Moneyman...
- The match is now past the 15-minute mark and Money is still staggering around near the announce table. Gilmore's climbed the top rope...he's aiming for Money and going for a Sky High Elbow...can he do it? NO!!!! GILMORE MISSES AND HE CRASHES ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE!!! Peter Michaels prevents Duane Fry from interfering and tries to help Gilmore up, and Shane Stones starts counting. ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX...SEVEN...EIGHT...GILMORE'S UP!!!
- At 17:30, both men are fighting on the ramp leading to the locker room. Money, who's now got the upper hand, continues to tenderize Gilmore with a neckbreaker, followed by several kicks to the rib area. Money pulls Gilmore up and flings him at the steel railing, as Stones counts again. ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX...GILMORE'S STILL IN IT!
- Gilmore seems to have found his second wind at a little past 19 minutes, and is on the verge of a strong comeback. Once again, he goes for the Anger Management on Money, and in this part of the arena, there definitely aren't any protective mats. Both men are bruised and bloody, especially Money, and this could possibly do it. ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX...SEVEN...EIGHT...NINE! He's still alive and kicking!
- As the bloody battle continues close to Aegalaeus Position, Gilmore is about to set Money up for an impact move...a facebuster, perhaps? It's taking a while for Gilmore to do so, and while at it, Marat Khoklov appears from out of nowhere! The Russian Bear is loaded for bear, and grabs Gilmore by the throat! Wasting little time, Khoklov delivers an unbelievable CHOKESLAM to Gilmore, SENDING HIM OFF THE STAGE!!! That's a drop of several feet, and there's no way Gilmore would be able to get up at ten! And it's all legal! ONE...TWO...THREE...FOUR...FIVE...SIX...SEVEN...EIGHT...NINE...TEN!!!
- Rich Money, with his face all bloodied, has his hands raised in victory as he groggily heads back to ringside to check on his girlfriend Lisa! The fans are outraged, some of whom are taking their anger out on Lisa Bowen, but Money makes sure they won't go any further by whisking her off to the locker room as Khoklov, Remo, The Can't Miss Prospects and Spencer Spade are all waiting at Aegalaeus. He's got all the gold, he's got the girl, and by the looks of it, he's got the Supreme Wrestling Federation under his thumb. And over at the stage area, Jessie is in tears as medics surround her husband, who clearly looks injured as the announcers (actually Michaels and Garcia) rue what has become of the SWF, no thanks to Rich Money and The Almighty Dollar.

WINNER - Money in 22:29. Rich Money is STILL the SWF Supreme Heavyweight Champion.

OOC - Looks like I'm going to be quite busy tomorrow, so Uprising, the Post-Shows OOC and next week's prediction keys might get posted over the weekend. For the meantime, here's more backstage fun with KP Avatar!

In this angle, you'll notice that I mentioned Jason Azaria and Huey Cannonball getting read the riot act for spreading rumors about Hannah. Actually, it was Azaria spreading rumors about Cannonball in-game, but for purposes of the diary, both men are in hot water for spreading rumors about the lady...

McGaw Arena

5:45 p.m.

Thank goodness my fears weren't realized when the second part of Big Smack Scott's shoot was published. Everything was just the way it was for me. For Hannah, it was tough, as she got a lot of ribbing yesterday because Scott accused her of being a slut in the "Date, Marry, Kill" question. Good thing Huey Cannonball and Jason Azaria got read the riot act by Peter when he found out they were picking on Hannah. Huey was so embarrassed by the dressing-down that he skipped the Master of Puppets after-party, but Jason kept on partying with the Klubb after the show. And what an after-party it was.

That Sunday, the McGaw Arena locker room was hangover central. Steve Frehley was ecstatic over his successful heel turn, one that elicited a great amount of heat from the crowd, so he treated a lot of us to food and drinks at the bar after Master of Puppets. He'd been wanting to turn heel for a while, and with his savage attack on Nicky Champion and Christian Faith, he was reviled by the crowd at the Greenwalt Dome, and that's the way he wanted it. Unfortunately, Nicky Champion strained his rotator cuff in his ladder match against Remo, so there was one real-life casualty in the year's most brutal PPV. Tom Gilmore was also pretty banged-up, as we'd heard, but not suffering from any sprains, muscle strains or concussions or any other injury severe enough to slow him down or force him to miss some time. But right now, most of the casualties were of the alcoholic kind. Not me, though - Dawn and I went straight to the hotel after Master of Puppets, and you know what happened next. So I was sober as a judge as I read through the rest of Big Smack Scott's shoot interview, and it was a miracle I did, considering my phone's puny screen size and the barely existent Wi-Fi at the McGaw.

Boy, did Sinclair have a bone to pick with me. The nerve of him too to suggest I was considering kissing up to the Klubb and potentially one to push my buddies over others if I rose up the creative ladder and/or got a better push. Was I mad? Hell yeah, I was mad. Was I ostracized as a result of what Scott had to say? Fortunately, the rookies had the heads-up, and even if they didn't, they knew what I knew - Scott was a bitter, inconsistent and self-serving SWF reject who only had nice things to say about Christian Faith and Tom Gilmore because everyone else did. I wasn't born yesterday - Scott would complain about Christian and Tom from time to time, but not as much as he bitched about Peter, Mr. Eisen or the Klubb.

Okay. Not all of the rookies decided to take the Big Smack Scott shoot with an Everest-sized grain of salt.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/AlanParent_zpse1108a19.jpg</div>

"Which one of you is KP Avatar?" It was Alan Parent, the rookie, who was still on the "guided tour" stage and not booked to wrestle any matches.

"He is," replied a very hung over Cam Vessey, pointing to me.

"Wow, man, so you ARE KP Avatar, Big Smack Scott's frenemy. Man, that interview was an eye-opener. How's Dawn doing?"

I was still trying to be respectful despite Alan giving me a good dose of attitude. "Why'd you ask?"

"Relax, man, I just want to try to get to know you a little. I'm a rookie, you're a rookie, and based on what I've read, you can give rookies a better push. Is that true?"

"I'm a creative jobber just as I'm a jobber in the ring."

Alan, despite trying to sound friendly, was obviously doing so in a backhanded manner. "Nice catchphrases, by the way, Gary Coleman. WHATCHOO TALKIN' ABOUT, WILLIS!"

"I'll have you know, Alan, those lines weren't my idea. Aren't you supposed to be hanging with Robbie Retro?"

"How could I shadow an SWF Superstar who acts like he's in character even when he's off camera? See, that's what's wrong with the SWF these days. Too many lame gimmicks."

Another hung over rookie, Spencer Spade, shot back at the arrogant newcomer from Canada. Ironic he was the one who did that, as Spencer had a pretty realistic "Blue Chipper" gimmick attached to him. "Creative does that to a lot of new hires. It's normal, man. If they've got good mic skills, good acting skills, they play outlandish characters. Roger Cage, for instance. He's usually a ladies' man, but in here, he's a hypocrite hippie. Robbie Retro's a '70s disco stud, and he's a veteran. He's had that gimmick ever since. Cam Vessey was supposed to be a yee-haw stereotype cowboy when Marshall Dillon was still on the main roster. And KP and Remmy, they're '60s throwbacks too, but they're babyfaces."

"That's not how they do it in Japan."

Parent's cocky and self-righteous reply was enough to get one of the more outgoing, and often outspoken rookies angry.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/LennyBrownalt_zps7ed18200.jpg</div>

"Well, why don't you go back to Japan, then?"

"You've got some chutzpah to talk to me like that," retorted Alan, as Lenny Brown just lazed back on the bench, nursing a hangover like most of us. "That, my friend, is workplace bullying. I could have you reported to Mr. Eisen if you keep acting that way. What's your name?"

"Lenny Brown. And I hear your name is Alan Father, or Mother, but perhaps closer to Motherf---er based on the way you're actin'."

"Those were fighting words, pally. Do you know puroresu?"

Lenny had had enough at that point. He stood up and charged at Alan, and both men were fighting it out in our part of the locker room as we circled them both and started cheering. Of course, we were cheering for our man Lenny. Alan and Lenny were still getting at each other when Peter Michaels and Eric Eisen walked by. They seemed very cordial now, considering their argument from yesterday.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/PeterMichaels.jpghttp://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/EricEisen_alt3.jpg</div>

"Just look at 'em, Pete! That Alan Parent guy sure is hungry. GO ALAN!!! Show your fellow rookie that you mean it!"

Peter, however, was in no mood to condone any form of roughhousing, even if it was a minor scuffle at that moment. "Goddammit, Eric, this is not a football team locker room! This is a sports entertainment locker room, and I do not allow such behavior! CUT IT OUT!!!"

Alan Parent was about to land the first actual punch when Peter told him and Lenny to stop. "Uh...we were just rehearsing, Peter. For a possible feud, I guess?"

"Right, Alan. You haven't even gotten included in a card yet and you're acting like some cocky veteran who knows it all. And who knows, you might be teaming with Lenny if we don't send you down to Rhode Island. Remember what we talked about regarding your push...and your skill improvement."

"Rhode Island?"

"RIPW. It's our developmental territory. They just had a change in ownership due to Professor Nero's retirement. Dean Daniels is the new owner and CEO."

"Deano! The guy's a legend in Japan! I guess I won't mind getting sent to developmental after all. I bet they serve better food than they do down here."

In a strange way, Peter seemed to be on to something, demoting troublesome newcomers to RIPW before they could cause any more trouble. It happened to Acid, though his official role at Rhode Island was interim aerial trainer, meaning he'd be back on the main roster in about a month or two. And now it happened to Alan Parent. Though I certainly didn't see him complaining about the demotion.

Good riddance, Alan. See you in 2014, I guess?

Boo. RIPW will experience the awesomeness of Team Puwowesu. <img alt="

Well that settles it. We'll have to leave behind this SWF nonsense and take this diary to Rhode Island to follow the awesome.

I got some plane tickets to there. Let's fly to RIPW!

3rdStringPG · May 16, 2013

OOC - I have to say I agree with you both. Right now, RIPW has more awesomeness than Jefferson Stardust and Huey Cannonball. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Alan Parent and The Architect, both in Rhode Island...or expected to be in Rhode Island for at least a couple more months...

Well, there is Season 2 of High Stakes, which should take place in a few months. KP's "see you in 2014" may be more like "see you in September." Take note, I've got Parent signed as a babyface, and more faces are needed to balance out the likes of Architect, Youngman, Ekuma and Justin Sensitive.

Furthermore, I've got plans of booking Parent in a dark match in Week 3 (probably Uprising), so he's not getting sent down immediately... <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Not speaking about the writing here, okay?

Not at all.

But 84 kinda sucks for the show. Gilmore/Money main event only gets an 88? Gilmore actually being pushed and Money being top-of-the-line heel? Just an 88? Eh...

I expect more from two of the top workers in the company. And I'd want more from my SWF if I wasn't caring about the story (which, given this is a diary, he obviously does and should care about.)

A lot of things can go wrong. I have had a match between Jack Bruce and Rich Money ending up as a B- once. Stuff happens. Deal with it.

As I said in the introductory OOC, any heated concerns, or concerns that are about to get heated, should be discussed via private message. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Eidenhoek, I appreciate your support for the diary, and ampulator, thanks for sticking up for the last PPV's grade (and the Gilmore vs Money grade, which I was personally satisfied with), but off the record, grades are secondary for me in this diary. My main priority is doing my best to write a good story, may it be KP's story or SWF storylines, and having fun while doing so.

Anyway, I should have Uprising up in a couple hours. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

One thing off, and you get an 88 or 89 instead of a 90 because of the SWF product. I did think you adjusted it (Risque to Medium, which is completely defensible), it's still quite frustrating.

OOC - Yes, Risque is at Medium, so as to allow KC Glenn, etc. to sign. And to elaborate on Team Puwowesu, it is a "community" of Alan Parent fans from Charismatic Enigma's RTG diary. And as you can see, Parent is as awesome backstage as he is in the ring, although in this diary, his puroresu purist gimmick is already taken by Koshiro Ino. And speaking of KC Glenn, here's Uprising, and another rare appearance for this talented youngster! <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> SWF Uprising McGaw Arena (Tri State) Sunday, June 16, 2013 (Week 2) DARK MATCHES: None. UPRISING: <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Frehley Turns on Champion (Replay) (80/B)</div> If you bought Master of Puppets, you know this - Steve Frehley loses his composure and goes loco on Nicky Champion, then shortly after on his long-time best friend, Christian Faith. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Champion vs Remo, Faith vs Vengeance (Replay) (80/B)</div> And more snippets from the last PPV, as Remo heartbreakingly defeats Nicky Champion to retain his SWF World Heavyweight title in a Ladder Match...and Christian Faith finally wins one on PPV, defeating Vengeance for the first time this year and, as the Ken Burns soundalike voice-over teases, possibly putting an end to Chase SinCorporated. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Gilmore vs Money (Replay) (81/B)</div> A third replay video from Master of Puppets - it's the bloody Supreme Heavyweight title match between Rich Money and Angry Gilmore, including Gilmore's big fall at the end of the match as Marat Khoklov, interfering for Rich Money, chokeslammed him off the stage. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Ino Rants About Retro (60/C-)</div> The disco lights go off and the four-person group of Remmy Skye, KP Avatar, Robbie Retro and Chloe Dean stops dancing as Koshiro Ino makes his entrance. With a mic in hand, he yells "TEISHI!" and talks about how Americans seem to look forward to song and dance more than they do pure wrestling. After his quick promo, which mostly centers on Retro, Ino, Bart-San and Brett-San rush the ring and attack their jobber opponents before the bell rings. <div style="text-align:center;">Robbie Retro and The Psychedelic Soul Brothers (w/Chloe Dean) vs Koshiro Ino and Biggz in Japan (48/D-)</div> A few scattered cheers of "USA! USA!" can be heard whenever Retro, Avatar or Skye are in the ring, but it's not loud enough compared to when someone like Joshua Taylor would be up against Ino and/or Biggz in Japan. The "USA!" chants aren't enough, as Remmy Skye gets Kendo sticked by Ino with Sam Sparrow focusing on Bart-San, who was trying to enter illegally. Ino isn't making much of an effort to cover Skye as Sparrow counts one, two, three. WINNERS - Ino and Biggz in Japan in 5:16 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Spade Issues Open Challenge (50/D)</div> Spencer Spade is in the ring after the commercial break, and he immediately asks the soundman to cut the music, which is the mid-'90s alternative rock hit "Superstar" by Sweet Water. He boasts about his Shooting Star belt and his new allegiance with Rich Money and The Almighty Dollar, then issues an open challenge to anyone who thinks they can strip the title off his waist. Mikey James accepts the challenge and doesn't bother to reply back - he hits the ring and unloads on Spade, forcing the referee to ring the bell. <div style="text-align:center;">Mikey James vs Spencer Spade (w/Richie Pangrazzio Jr.) © - SWF Shooting Star title match (53/D)</div> Jerry Eisen points out how Spade has a lot of gall to put his belt on the line just two days after winning it, but Marvin Earnest shoots back, teasing a heel turn by saying that only shows how confident Spade is in his ability and how willing he is to back it up. Marvelous Marv is still talking about Spade's all-around skills when the Supreme Star lands a Spadesault on a fallen James and adds insult to injury with a Supreme Stunner. James puts up a good fight, but he becomes Spade's first title defense victim. WINNER - Spade in 5:42 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Brown and Spade End Friendship (40/D)</div> The 100% Boyz effectively cease to exist as a tag team as Lenny Brown emerges from the locker room with a mic in his hand. Brown - What's gotten in to you, Spencer? Coach Richie? You know why we first did this, right? We were doin' a favor for my fellow SoCal homie. And we did it. Not once, but twice. Why'd you stick around a third time? So you could join up with that Moneyman and watch him suck the life outta you? Well, you got what you want, Spencer. Hope you're happy now, sell-outs, because as far as I'm concerned, The 100% Boyz...are down to zero percent. Enjoy the Shooting Star title while you got it. The crowd doesn't care much for Brown's slightly mumbled promo, but it looks like his face turn went pretty well. Guess it's because his admission has solved the remaining pieces of the puzzle - it was Steve Frehley and the 100% Boyz in the first two Nicky Champion beatdowns, then Spade, with what may have been Remo and Squeeky McClean in a copycat third beatdown that followed the week after the second, that time orchestrated by Rich Money. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Frederique Interviews Jungle Lord (w/Calum Nelson) (45/D-)</div> Frederique Garcia's interview guest for tonight's "Let's Do the Freddy!" is Jungle Lord, who mumbles most of his early replies before screaming in the middle of his interview and taking Freddy aback. He starts pointing at someone in the audience, and the people at home can see that it's Calum Nelson from High Stakes. Garcia still doesn't understand what's going on when Jungle Lord yells "JUNGLE LORD KILL!!!" and stalks off the interview proper, possibly to look for Nelson. But when he gets there, Nelson is nowhere in sight, leaving the Wildman frustrated, yet pumped for the upcoming tag team match pitting Hero Squad and the 24/7 Partay Dudez. <div style="text-align:center;">KC Glenn vs Asher Ginsberg (37/D-)</div> In what is just one of several signs that Chase SinCorporated is on the way out, Asher Ginsberg doesn't appear to be eating anything on his way to the ring. He does, however, act like a pretentious hipster, and in this extremely quick jobber squash, he goes over KC Glenn with his Ash 2 Ash finisher. WINNER - Ginsberg in 4:31 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - The Awesomeness Booked Against The Eisen Entourage (58/D+)</div> Huey Cannonball and Jefferson Stardust, with Dawn the Cheerleader, are in the locker room, talking to Uprising GM BJ O'Neill and asking her why they didn't get considered for the previous Tuesday's four-way number one contender match for the tag team belts. O'Neill apologizes for what appears to have been an oversight on her part, and says she'll be booking them tonight against The Eisen Entourage - if they beat the Entourage, they just might have a surprise waiting for them on the next Supreme TV. Huey and Jeff talk about "a date with BJ" as the surprise, but Dawn tells them to get serious, because this could be their ticket to Supreme Challenge XXXIII. <div style="text-align:center;">The Platinum Blondes (w/Carl Batch) vs Greed and Envy (w/Ms. Emma Chase) (49/D-)</div> Now this is quite rare - Emma Chase in the corner of Greed and Envy! She usually doesn't pay much attention to the low men. Erstwhile tag team afterthoughts The Platinum Blondes mock Ms. Chase before the match, mistaking her for one of Carl Batch's H.O.E.S., but the joke's on them as the action kicks off - John Greed shows his stuff early on with a surprise DDT on James Prudence! The match turns out to be an open one until Ms. Chase "accidentally" hits Eddie Envy with the Chase Briefcase...that allows Freddy Garcia to hit the Romeo is Bleeding on Envy and Ric Young to make the three-count. WINNERS - The Platinum Blondes in 6:42 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Greed and Envy Argue (40/D-)</div> As Greed helps Envy to his feet, the real-life Eddie Cornell snaps at Greed - verbally, that is. The words "I'VE HAD IT WITH THIS BLOODY JOKE OF AN ORGANISATION!" can be heard as he storms off to the locker room, leaving Greed dumbfounded. Could we be seeing two heel tag teams disbanded on the same Uprising? That certainly seems to be the case here. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Taylor Rants About Ino (67/C+)</div> Dawn the Cheerleader is interviewing Joshua Taylor backstage, and he complains about how Koshiro Ino's perfect record in the SWF is overrated - most, if not all of his wins have been pulled off by cheating, which is anything but honorable in the spirit of "pure" wrestling. Taylor says that he'll be happy to face Ino at Supreme Challenge XXXIII, with his gaijin lackeys barred from ringside, but given their status as relative newcomers to the SWF, he'll leave it up to the "corrupt powers that be" to decide whether such a match should happen. <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Cage Gets Ready (36/D-)</div> Roger Cage is backstage, getting ready for his match by burning incense, then meditating. The song "Incense and Peppermints" by the Strawberry Alarm Clock plays in the background, and as Cage meditates, Remmy Skye and KP Avatar pass by and shake their heads, not saying a word and not getting noticed either by Cage, who is focusing intently on whatever hippie stuff he's doing. <div style="text-align:center;">Joshua Taylor vs Roger Cage (67/C+)</div> Both men fight it out for longer than expected; the match goes eight minutes, with a lot of Taylor rest holds, hypocritical cheating from Cage and a near-pinfall from Cage following the Make Love Not War. Taylor is able to will himself back and get Cage wrapped up in the Butterfly Lock, but before Cage can tap out, Koshiro Ino charges the ring and smashes Taylor with a chair! Darren Smith frantically requests for the bell, and Taylor emerges victorious via DQ. WINNER - Taylor in 8:13 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Huggins Gets Ready (54/D+)</div> Franklin D. Huggins III has an odd way of preparing for his tag match against The Awesomeness - chugging down one beer straight as Dozer Smith and Eric Eisen watch and cheer... <div style="text-align:center;">The Awesomeness (w/Dawn the Cheerleader) vs The Eisen Entourage (w/Eric Eisen) (63/C)</div> Could we be seeing The Awesomeness in some sort of tag title match on Supreme TV? Jefferson Stardust and Huey Cannonball look very focused against The Eisen Entourage, and vigilant for Eric Eisen, who is at ringside barking encouragement and ready to cheat in case things get dicey for his kayfabe frat brothers. The match sees both teams switching momentum every few minutes or so, but the middle part of the match is where the Entourage expertly cheats their way into preventing Stardust from tagging Cannonball. It ends at 9-some minutes, as a hot-tagged Cannonball combines with Stardust for the Shock and Awe on "Bulldozer" Bryan Smith. Eisen cannot believe what he's seeing as Ric Young counts ONE...TWO...THREE! Jerry Eisen yells "SHOCK AND AWE!!!" repeatedly, much to the chagrin of Marv Earnest, who continues teasing a heel turn by complaining about The Awesomeness' "illegal" tag moves. WINNERS - The Awesomeness in 9:37 <div style="text-align:center;">ANGLE - Captain Atomic Gets Ready (69/C+)</div> Atomic - Argggghhhhhh....Argggggghhhhhhh...YAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! TIME TO GET RAAAAAAAADIOOOOOO-ACTIIIIIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!! <div style="text-align:center;">Hero Squad vs 24/7 Partay Dudez (w/Kristen Pearce and A-Prime) (72/B-)</div> We've got four people in the announce table for this match - Jerry Eisen, Marv Earnest, James Prudence and BJ O"Neill. Prudence says he's just trying to make sure the two One Direction wannabes don't get their "duh-duh bouncer" (A-Prime) and their "Carl Batch Charm School reject" (Kristen Pearce) involved in the match. O'Neill is here, because she teases this as a match of great importance, but refuses to elaborate any further. Meanwhile, Jungle Lord continues his run of listlessness, letting Captain Atomic do all the work against Mainstream and Stevie, and he doesn't seem to care much as the two boy band wannabes isolate Atomic. He doesn't appear to be affected either when A-Prime sneaks a stiff slap against Atomic after he got tossed out of the ring with a double clothesline from the Partay Dudez. But everything changes when Calum Nelson does indeed appear at ringside, having jumped the barricade from the stands! Jungle Lord starts begging to be tagged in, and when he enters, Earnest is forced to eat crow after he had earlier accused Jungle Lord of "looking like Tarzan and fighting like Jane."

Honestly, I read this diary mostly for your character, K.P. Avatar, and the backstage stories. There's only so many permutations you can do in terms of writing for the shows, but for behind-the-scenes stuff.. there, that's where your strength shows. <img alt="

And thanks for the continued love for the backstage stuff! Anyway, here is... Thirdy's Thoughts - Post-Shows OOC: - And now, our prediction game scores for the week! Those who qualify for the monthly prize would be those who have predicted two thirds of the shows for the month...or 6 out of 9 cards. flaviooooo leads the qualifiers thus far, but christmas_ape and the others who have predicted 2 or 3 out of 5 cards still have the rest of June! (Highlighted names - qualifiers as of this point.) All in all, a very close fight for the lead. 1. christmas_ape - 18/21, 86% 2. therapidpro - 6/7, 86% 3. flaviooooo - 30/36, 83% (+6/8, 6/7) 4. MichiganHewo - 29/36, 81% (+5/8, 5/7) 5. Rickymex - 29/36, 81% (+7/8, 5/7) 6. Croquemitaine - 29/36, 81% (+6/8, 6/7, +1) 7. jhd1 - 11/14, 78% 8. Oregano Jensen - 28/36, 78% (+5/8, 5/7) 9. ohiodevil - 10/14, 71% 10. Psycho Sam - 25/36, 69% (+5/8, 4/7 +1) 11. Bigjondalegend - 13/21, 62% 12. Midnightnick - 20/36, 56% (+4/8, 4/7) - I'd call Eric Eisen's loss to Captain Atomic continued punishment for his backstage douchebaggery, but I hope to have something more substantial for him in the future. As he lost on the pre-show and was kept strong (thus overriding creative control), he didn't take much of a hit. Captain Atomic, however, now has 70 popularity in Tri-State and 62 everywhere else. - Sneaked in a heel Ryback reference on Steve Frehley's pre-match promo - namely, his attire when he was cutting the pre-taped promo. But unlike what the WWE's doing to Ryback, i.e. making him look like a coward and wasting the improvement he's made on the stick, I've got something else planned for Frehley's heel turn. For one, he won't be explaining his actions just yet. But overall, he should be very disruptive in the shows to come... - Had quite a hard time figuring out how to explain the two masked men who were with Frehley during the Champion beatdowns, but there you have it - Lenny Brown has spilled the beans. He actually has great chemistry with Richie Pangrazzio, which is why I had my reservations about splitting up The 100% Boyz, but Spencer Spade is by far the most plausible Shooting Star candidate...and now champion. - Gilmore vs Money...ah, that Gilmore vs Money match. In earlier attempts where I hadn't included some of the final angles yet, I got an 86, a 90, a 91, and finally an 88, which was somewhere in the middle. Again, it's not bad, and in the end, Gilmore gained a bit of popularity even if he lost. - Nicky Champion's rotator cuff injury has him working at less than 100 percent for the next two months, so you'll be seeing less of him in the ring. Damn, that was a bummer, especially this close to Supreme Challenge. - Overall, I'm quite excited for the lead-up to Supreme Challenge XXXIII. With The Almighty Dollar more powerful than ever, Frehley now a loner heel (he will NOT be joining any stable!) and Chase SinCorporated humbled following Vengeance's loss to Christian Faith, things should get really interesting now.
