I never understood why Jean complained whenever he had to book shows. It never made any sense. Booking was easy. Heck, it was like dragging a mouse and pointing and clicking. Then I had my first argument…

”What the hell? I’m scheduled to lose?”

”Yeah… But you won’t lose your title.”

”So the hell what? I’m losing my image dammit. I mean, what the heck you guys trying to do? Bury me on my way out?”

”On your way out?”

”Yeah man. This place? I’m done. My contract is up in 2 months. Look, I love my opportunities here in MAW but it’s time to move on. I’ve talked to Sam, he’s known. In fact, he encouraged it!”

”So then why all the ****ing hoopla before you leave?!” There was no response. Bret just simply left the room and I shook my head. I really had to get myself better acquainted with this roster over the next few weeks, and contracts. Why didn’t anyone tell me that Bret’s contract was coming up that quick? Now I’ve got to remedy and see if there is any chance of us bringing him back…

[show up soon! Woot woot.]

This match was one of those matches that more proof of the rebuild effort in the tag division that was currently going on. Conduit & Perdition certainly looked good out there as the small/big combination they brought certainly was unique to the division and something the Express didn’t expect. But as they claimed last month, they were trained by Rip Chord so what did it matter? Collier really nails that point home following his partner’s Rip Chord DDT last month with one of his own tonight on the bigger Perdition for the champs to retain the belts. The Dynamite Express d. Conduit & Perdition, Rip Chord DDT, 12:22, E+ <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img844/9479/7gsy.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img822/5118/hm00.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img33/1826/n32y.jpg</div> The tag champs didn’t seem finished with business as they stuck around the ring. Herb Stately, always eager to talk on the microphone, hopped into the ring with a microphone and began to tout his championship caliber team. ”Standing here, presently, is the World’s Tag Team Champions – the greatest duo in the history of professional wrestling. And once again, they’ve proven themselves as the best in the business. And now, joining the Stately Stable of Superstars, your next MAW Champion, Mean…Jean…Cattley!!!” <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img844/9695/rii2.jpg</div> The crowd begins to boo as Nabucco’s Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves plays. The living legend of the MAW, Mean Jean Cattley, makes his way out to the ring. Stately and Dynamite Express begin to clap for their newest ally. As Cattley gets into the ring he hugs Stately before taking the microphone. “Don’t do it Jean! Don’t do it. Don’t sell your soul to the devil… That’s what I heard time and time again for the past month. It came out that Herb here was looking to add another man to his Stable of Superstars and Herb made the right move. He came to the former Mid Atlantic champion and said ‘Do you want to be a star?’” Jean looks at Herb, who’s smiling. The Dynamite Express is chatting up possibilities of the new three man stable. “Herb, you came to me and asked me if I wanted to be a star. Herb… Herb… Herbie… Can I call you Herbie?” Stately nods as Jean continues. “Good. Herbie… See, that was the biggest mistake you’ve ever made in your career. See, the thing is Herbie, I don’t want to be a star… Herbie, I am THE star! So my answer? My answer is no. Thanks, but no thanks. I’m already where you can bring me.” Cattley tosses the microphone to Herb Stately who looks absolutely horrified. ”No? NO!! Absolutely not! Jean Cattley, we had a contract! We shook hands!! You don’t get to walk out of this ring insulting me!!” Cattley stops and looks like he’s about to say something when he’s bumrushed by the Dynamite Express. The tag champs look to take advantage of the surprise attack on Cattley but he fights back. The crowd begins to cheer for Cattley as he has the two men reeling. That’s when he notices Herb Stately in the middle of the ring. ”Don’t you come near me! I am staff of the MAW and have a manager’s license in the Confederation. One finger on me, and you’ll be suspended!” Cattley doesn’t seem to care about Stately’s threats as he heads towards him. This however doesn’t bode well for him as the tag team champs blindside him again. This time, Cattley goes down and Collier begins to lay the boots to Cattley. Stately points to the outside to Cam Jones who complies and goes under the ring where a table is waiting. He slides it into the ring and he and Collier set it up. ”Finish this up boys.” Collier and Jones then set Cattley up for the Chop and Change through the table. The crowd begins to boo the tag champs as medics, Jay Fair and even Sam Keith head down to the ring to sort out the mess. Stately, pleased with what his team had done, drops the microphone on the fallen Cattley and he his team celebrate the destruction.</div></blockquote> ”I can’t believe you Herb. You might’ve just injured the future MAW Hall of Famer and you’ve got a smile on your face!” ”I did what had to be done Marv. See, when you cross the Stately Stable of Superstars, you will pay the price!” ”Like that though? That was just heinous and uncalled for!” ”He insulted me. It was called for!” <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img203/9797/0zhy.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img402/6866/00ct.jpg</div> Before the bantering can continue though Holst’s “Mars, Bringer of War” begins to play marking the arrival of Ernest Forthdyke-Hume and his client George Wolfe holding what Earnest has dubbed “the Million Dollar Briefcase.” The two men get into the ring and Forthdyke-Hume calls for a microphone but before he can start, “London Calling” by the Who begins to play. <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img838/8718/sfg3.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img811/7581/s295.jpg</div> The Aces of Mayhem make their way down and Max Mayhem runs in as Forthdyke-Hume takes cover signaling the start of the next match!</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img842/1315/26g3.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img402/6866/00ct.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img203/9797/0zhy.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img89/9608/zyem.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img838/8718/sfg3.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img811/7581/s295.jpg Million Dollar Challenge George Wolfe w/Ernest Forthdyke-Hume vs. Max Mayhem w/Ace Youngblood</div> Mayhem taking the challenge over Youngblood came as a surprise to both Herb and Marv. Due to Mayhem’s size disadvantage, it became clear quickly that he had no shot as Wolfe makes this a quick one, mercifully ending this with the Running Powerslam. George Wolfe d. Max Mayhem, Running Powerslam, 4:08, E ”And Wolfe with the easy win there.” ”Speaking of an easy win…Lisa Bowen’s out here.” ”Well that was crude.” <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img827/4691/pk98.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img22/7150/b62c.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img13/2511/n0le.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img577/8927/coe7.jpg</div> Herb Stately wasn’t lying as Pantera’s Walk was playing. Robbie Wright accompanied by the always stunning Lisa Bowen made their way down, with Copperhead and The Architect, who Earnest referred to as “Damage Inc.” Bowen held the ring ropes open for Wright who was given the microphone by the ring announcer. “It’s too sweet to be in Stanley Hall tonight. For the women, you get to see the man you wish you could have and men? Well you get to have a night of sex because your woman is so hot and horny, looking at the King of Charisma, she can’t help but realize she’s only going to have to go home with the slob sitting next to her!” The boos begin to reign in on Wright as he smiles. “Oh will you stop? Baltimore, you have no choice but to idolize me! Look at me, I’m the best in the world. I’m the King baby. And…” Robbie looks at Lisa Bowen, “damn it’s good to be the king.” <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img33/7453/fmvr.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img69/2130/dpzc.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img96/8519/o4u0.jpg</div> Before Robbie can continue though, Green Day’s rendition of Working Class Hero begins. The Proletariat, Citizens X & Y come down to the ring with Svensson in tow. Y, not really familiar with the crowd, takes a moment to high five the Proletariat section of the crowd and even hands one kid his sunglasses. The three men stop just outside of the ring as X is handed a microphone. “A desperate disease requires a desperate remedy. “King” Wright, as you have called yourself, have no desire to help the people. You have no desire to help the Proletariat. And as thus, we, the people, have to put you in your place. Tonight, tonight was just business. A simply wrestling match. But you my friend made it personal. You insulted the Proletariat. You’ve declared yourself King. Tonight, the shots are fired. And we will defeat you King. Not for ourselves, not for pride or glory… But for… the… people. “Your majesty, may only God himself save the king.” X drops the microphone and he and his partners slide into the ring starting the match off with a wild pier six brawl!</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img827/4691/pk98.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img22/7150/b62c.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img13/2511/n0le.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img577/8927/coe7.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img89/9608/zyem.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img33/7453/fmvr.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img69/2130/dpzc.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img96/8519/o4u0.jpg Damage Inc. & Robbie Wright w/ Lisa Bowen vs. The Proletariat & Svensson</div> Because of the wild way the match started, it almost seemed that Jay Fair never had a shot of controlling it… so he let it turn into a tornado match with all six men in action at pretty much any time. Of course, this led to some underhanded tactics by the heels. Unfortunately, despite the pre-match interview, the crowd really couldn’t get into the match despite Lisa Bowen working hard to get them to. But this match certainly told a story. Wright, whenever he could, avoided X. Meanwhile, Y and Svensson seemed to exchange blows with Damage Inc. Earnest promoted the six men as all integral parts of MAW, from X, the veteran, to the men who were trained by Rip Chord as the future of wrestling and even Y who was joining MAW to better himself. This “futures showcase” match ended however when Svensson, for the second month in a row, makes a rookie mistake landed himself in the Wright Move from Robbie Wright for the victory. Robbie Wright & Damange Inc. d. Svensson & The Proletariat, Wright Move, 10:56, E+ <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img829/9338/q5tr.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img818/3219/yp1n.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img89/9608/zyem.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img689/6848/qfyw.jpg MAW American Championship – Lucha Libre Rules Hollywood Bret Starr © vs. El Mitico Jr.</div> No break in between action here as Mitico and Starr go head to head. Earnest explains Lucha Libre rules, 2/3 falls, piledrivers are illegal, 20 count instead of a 10 count… Etc. etc. Then Earnest proceeds to give a brief history Mitico Jr.’s grandfather, before Herb comments that Mitico is pretty big for a luchador… And thus begins the first lucha libre match in MAW history. It certainly is a showcase of Mitico’s talents and while Starr is no slouch, he is not Mitico Jr as it sees Mitico might be even more talented than Lucha as he seems to frustrate Starr to no end. However, Starr shows why he’s been American champion for over a year as he uses his intelligence early on and a quick roll up with the tights to get the first victory around 5 minutes. During a brief 20 second rest time, Earnest finally makes mention of Starr’s two titles he brought to the ring – one is the MAW American Championship which is on the line, and the other he remarks is the Invincible Pro Wrestling Championship which he won a week before. Earnest comments how Starr won it in identical fashion there as well… Fall two begins with Mitico looking displeased with himself, and with Starr’s antics, comes out flying, literally and figuratively, displaying some amazing skills in the ring. This time Starr isn’t able to outsmart his opponent and falls victim to El Mitico’s Northern Lights Suplex giving Mitico the tie. Another 20 second rest period begins. During this time Starr rolls to the outside and grabs his title belt. Jay Fair begins to yell at him to get back but Starr ignores. The third fall begins and with Starr long gone, Fair has no choice but to count him out giving Mitico the third and final fall. El Mitico Jr. d.

Stately comments how intelligent Starr is to retain his belt. Starr turns a corner however to run into someone he didn’t expect… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img713/1428/jc5m.jpg</div> “Did you really think you could disrespect the beloved sport of Lucha Libre so easily Bret?” Lucha goes to grab Starr, but Starr barely escapes, turns and begins to run. Lucha III is in full chase when Starr turns another corner… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img689/6848/qfyw.jpg</div> Smack dab into his opponent, El Mitico. With both of his rivals on either side, Starr simply smiles. Both men begin to close in, both looking to get their hands on Starr when he tosses his belt into the air. Both men look at it, distracted long enough for Lucha III to be blindsided… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img69/4452/hzpq.jpg</div> The man standing over Lucha holding what looks like a wooden club is unfamiliar to MAW fans. He gives Lucha another shot as Mitico and Starr begin to brawl. But this brawl isn’t long as the man makes his way to Starr and Mitico and delivers a blow with his club to Mitico. With both men out, Starr grabs his title and makes his way to Lucha. “You brought in a buddy of yours from over the border? Well I’ve even up the numbers. Your time here in MAW has reached The Deadline! Starr spits on Lucha and “The Deadline” gives another shot to Lucha as the two men walk away from their fallen opponents.</div></blockquote> ”Starr might’ve gotten away with another month as champion, but if you can’t tell Herb, he’s getting nervous. I think his reign is just about done.” ”I don’t know about that Marvin. With that newcomer, The Deadline, with him, I don’t think we’ve seen anywhere close to the end of Starr’s title reign. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img14/3738/m9px.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img401/2385/5hr2.jpg</div> Never one to let a show go out without making their appearance known, “Fortunate Son” by the Dropkick Murphys hits and the MAW Champion, Cameron Vessey, and Casey Valentine both make their way out. Both men look as confident as ever as the crowd begins to boo them. Vessey is the first to grab a microphone as the crowd boos. ”Well… It’s about that time. Time for the main events. Time for the best MAW has to offer to come out here and show the region, nay the COTT, nay… the world, why the best in the world wrestles in this ring!” The crowd begins to cheer which slowly turns into boos. ”That’s right… The single greatest duo in history, C-V-2. Tonight, you get to see YOUR Champion defend against that low life, Pittsburgh living, half of wrestling. ”Keith, we might tout our name but unlike you, we got our jobs here MAW not because of who our father is as owner, but because of our talent. And tonight, I prove that I can outwrestle anybody, whether my name was Vessey or Smith. I will beat you. I will retain my title. Because my name is Cameron Vessey and I deserve respect!” The champ hands the microphone over to his partner who looks more intense than usual. Before he can start however, Mozart’s Dies Irae begins to play and Valentine simply shakes his head, tosses the mic aside as his opponent, Findlay O’Farraday makes his way out.</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img401/2385/5hr2.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img89/9608/zyem.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img541/9094/tvh1.jpg Casey Valentine vs. Findlay O’Farraday</div> Another awkward match between these two, this one even more so as it seemed to exemplify the two’s bad chemistry. Like their last match, O’Farraday doesn’t seem to give Valentine a chance, leaving Valentine to take cover out of the ring and in illegal tactics which frustrates the crowd and O’Farraday. The match isn’t spectacular, but the crowd does eat it up as finally, O’Farraday, who was chasing Valentine around the ring, gets his hands on Valentine. Unfortunately for O’Farraday it was right in front of the announcer’s booth where Vessey had stationed himself. The champ, seeing enough, grabs his title belt and smashes it in the back of O’Farraday. Jay Fair calls for the bell, ending the match in a disqualification. Findlay O’Farraday d. Casey Valentine, DQ, 11:32, E <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img14/3738/m9px.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img401/2385/5hr2.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img541/9094/tvh1.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img4/7816/veuj.jpg</div> C-V-2 begins to lay the boots into O’Farraday. However this abuse doesn’t last long as out from the back is none other than The Gold Standard, Matthew Keith. He gets involved in the mix and the four men are brawling. The bell is ringing. Marv Earnest is screaming for them to stop when suddenly Pink Floyd’s Dogs of War begins to play...The crowd gets antsy and even the brawl has taken a bit of a pause. ... ... <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img543/8721/2nzr.jpg</div> ”IS THAT DREAD?!” ”Holy crap, the Living Legend himself is in MAW! What is going on?!” All four men immediately stop brawling as Dread makes his way down to the ring. As if in almost awe of the legend, or confusion, Dread has stopped the brawling. He grabs a microphone on his way into the ring. “Mid Atlantic Wrestling… When I was told to come to this show, I wasn’t expecting… this nonsense. Four men brawling? Interference? Countouts and disqualifications? No… This is not wrestling. That may pass in other promotions these days, but not in the Confederation of the Territories. So here’s how I see it, MAW is part of the C O double T, and I’m the newly elected president of the C O double T so I have authority power… And as far as I’m concerned, you” Dread points to Valentine, “and you” Dread points to O’Farraday, “get out of this arena. Now. If either of you come to ringside, I will revoke your status at COTT wrestlers. And Keith, Vessey? Get in the ring. You two have a match… “Oh and in case anyone tries to interfere, I’m staying here at ringside.” The crowd pops at Dread’s announcement as Valentine looks like he’s about to lose it. Vessey doesn’t seem to care as he gets in the ring along with Keith and we have a match.</div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img809/5760/cr8z.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img14/3738/m9px.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img89/9608/zyem.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img4/7816/veuj.jpg Mid Atlantic Championship Match Cameron Vessey © vs. Matthew Keith</div> One of the biggest arguments Cam Vessey has had to deal with outside of the Mid Atlantic was whether he was big league material. The question isn’t whether or not Vessey can talk or not, but whether he can perform. As he was a Vessey, this was expected but nothing in MAW in singles action has ever proven that. But like his uncle Bryan, it took the need for one good singles match to see that yes, the tag worker can do it. And this was that match. Keith and Vessey put on one of the best MAW matches of all time as the two fought an intense, clean match that told a story. Both men, both strong brawlers and technicians, showed these skills in a very old school type of match. The back and forth and longevity of the match seemed to get to Vessey who was not used to the intense, puro-like style that Keith had brought to the ring (most likely imported from his tour in Burning Hammer he was in the middle of) and eventually, this opened up Vessey to make mistakes and Keith to capitalize. But no matter what Keith did, he couldn’t put Vessey down. Around the 25 minute mark, Vessey managed to get a second wind and capitalized on this second wind overwhelming the now exhausted Keith. ”My God, Vessey looking incredible now.” ”Keith couldn’t put the champ down and now the Champ is capitalizing it.” Vessey set up Keith for the Vessey Driver, but Keith rolls out of it. Keith looks like he’s going for the Proton Lock, but can’t grab Vessey who grabbed Keith in what looks like a variation of the Rip Chord DDT. Before he can hit it, Keith reverses it into a Fisherman’s Suplex… …1 …2 KICKOUT. Keith looks shocked but picks up the Champ. An eye gouge by Vessey however blinds Keith for a moment… ”VESSEY DRIVER!! The Champ has retained!! ”ONE! TWO!!! NO! Kickout by Keith! I can’t believe it!” Vessey gets up and into Jay Fair’s face arguing about counting too slow. Fair warns Vessey and Vessey turns around… DDT by Keith! ”The champ might’ve just cost himself the title there! Here comes the Proton Lock!” With the Proton Lock in, center of the ring, Vessey looks like he has nowhere to go. But rather than quit, the champ tries to fight out of it. Unfortunately, he cannot and begins to go limp. Jay Fair checks him and lifts up his arm… …1 …2 Ding Ding Ding. Keith lets go of the hold before Fair even lifts Vessey’s arm up, leaving the limp Vessey on the mat. Fair however is confused at the sound of the bell. He goes over to the official time keeper as COTT President Dread steps into the ring, with the Mid Atlantic belt and a microphone. Fair, upon talking to the timekeeper, goes to Dread and whispers something. “Ladies and Gentlemen, due to the time limit being expired, this match has been declared a draw! Still champion, Cameron Vessey!” Cameron Vessey draws with Matthew Keith, 30:00, C- Keith looks absolutely furious as Vessey gets up and receives his championship belt from Dread. Dread doesn’t look too pleased either with the result… ”What a match! Love him or hate him, Cameron Vessey and Matthew Keith just wrestled to a thirty minute draw and the champion once again leaves, belt in hand!” <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img708/9461/qzgm.jpg Copyright 2013, Mid Atlantic Wrestling</div> Final Show Rating D</div></blockquote>

Post Show Notes

Match of the Night – Matthew Keith vs. Cameron Vessey

Pop of the Night – Cam Vessey / Matthew Keith – Both of their overness has jumped far and ahead of everyone else’s after their match.

Interview of the Night – Robbie Wright/Citizen X one. Yep.

Other Stuff

The Show Itself...

Longest one of the three posted so far. As far as grades, a lot of surprises. No match except the main event graded above E+ except the dark match (D+). Considering MAW is rated E- though, doing pretty good with 3 D rated shows in a row.

Dread?

I have always loved the Dread character. I was disappointed to see he had finally retired but hey he signed with MAW. For a hefty contract. Might not be worth it but whatever.

Bad Chemistry…

Despite knowing O’Farraday/Valentine had bad chemistry, I had to book it. Storytelling will take precedent over grades. It has to.

Bret Starr…

Despite my tendency to write Bart Starr half the time, he’s an asset to the company. Although he is poison… I don’t know where I stand right now. I had a good storyline planned, and I’m going to run it and if he doesn’t resign, we’ll see…

Predictions

Rickymex – 4 (3+1)

Midnightnick – 2

3rdString – 4 (3+1)

Phantom – 5 (3+2)

I never revealed a prize for this prediction contest because I don’t have one yet. So Phantom Stranger, good job on getting both bonus questions right. You’re in the lead. This pool will be running up until Old School Rules (2 more shows) and the winner of that will get to book (style, participants, etc) for the MAW Fan Festival. Yay.

Next Post: Dread?

”What a show everyone!! And what a twist with Dread huh? Alright, same time, same place next month!”

Sam was finishing up his post show talk, for those who stayed around. Usually it consisted of the main event, Cam (who was in the main event that night), Jay Fair, the announce team, Jean, myself, the MAW Champ (who… again was Cam) and the newest member of the roster (Deuce Deadline, filling that role) but there was a big surprise NO ONE in MAW wanted to miss out on. Now, I thought it was the E-P-I-C match that Matt and Cam had been planning out. They had talked it up for nearly two months, since Matt signed on with MAW and Sam and I decided to let them have reign over the match. It was their idea to go thirty minutes and going to the draw, we originally had Cam winning, but so glad we decided to let them control the match…

Speaking of control…

”Hey Sam… Got a moment?”

I motioned towards the makeshift office he and I had set up for ourselves for moments of privacy during the show. Unfortunately for me, when we got into the room the man whom I wanted to talk to Sam about was taking about half of the office up.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img543/8721/2nzr.jpg</div>

”Ah…”

”Casey, Dread. Dread, Casey.” Dread sticks out his hand, about the size of my head, out and engulfs what little is left of my hand as we shake. ”So what’s up Casey?”

”Well I suppose it’s a good thing Dread is here seeing as that’s whom I wanted to talk about.”

”Wasn’t that awesome? The crowd went nuts, you all STOPPED dead in your tracks. It was just amazing.”

”Well… yeah. But what the hell man? You were supposed to come out and say something…”

”Yeah but nepotism man. I don’t want to look like we’re enforcing rules just because Matt’s my son.”

”But that’s exactly my point!”

”What?”

”We, Marv and I, were building towards this moment where you and Matt would team up in the Classic.”

”Glad I sent Dread out there then. Casey, I’m retired. While I’m sure that would have been good storytelling, in the end of the day, I’m not here to storytell. I’m here to train young workers and give them an opportunity into their first step.”

”But what about the future? What about TV and pay per view and what not?”

”What about it?” It was the first time I had ever heard Dread speak so closely and I nearly blew an ear drum… ”Look. I don’t mind being the COTT President on screen just like I’m sure Sam doesn’t mind being the owner of MAW on screen, but Casey, something you need to realize is that you need to utilize all your talent, the talent of the future. Guys like Sam and I? Even the past decade or so we’ve been running on fumes. Sure, we’re popular. Sure, we’d sell out any arena you’d put us in. But for the industry, what does that matter?” And for a brief moment, Dread just showed why so many considered him the smartest man in the entire wrestling community. ”Think of it this way, now you have a new angle to run. Plus, I’m free the last weekend of every month. Build using what you have though and build towards Starrcade.”

Starrcade… Bret Starr… Crap…

”Speaking of Starrs… Uh, Sam… Bret Starr said he’s walking in two months?”

”It’s his time. He’s out on the west coast, won their title on his first show, he’s going to move on. Let him. Now if you don’t mind, Dread and I are heading out.”

And with that, Sam and Dread exited the room leaving me with the background noise of a half full locker room. The Future of Wrestling was in my hands…

What the **** was Sam Keith thinking?

<div style="text-align:center;">Mid Atlantic Wrestling and the Confederation of the Territories is proud to present

Americana</div>

Coming off a stunning Super Showdown, Americana is kicking off with a blast as COTT President, Dread has promised a big surprise for MAW Champion Cameron Vessey. Dread has promised to announce it once the show begins, leaving Vessey’s opponent unknown until showtime!

Meanwhile, Matthew Keith went the distance with the champion last month but was unable to finish him off. This month he gets a chance to redeem himself in a number one contender’s four way match! Citizen X and Robbie Wright were added to the match after their verbal spat last month and the champ’s right hand man Casey Valentine managed to weasel his way into the match.

After a sneak attack from Hollywood Bret Starr and The Deadline last month, the luchador duo Mr. Lucha III and El Mitico Jr appealed to the MAW booking committee to get themselves a match at Americana to exact their revenge.

Speaking of tag team action, the Confederation of the Territories has announced that a tag team showcase will take place this month as the MAW Tag Team champions Dynamite Express take on the PSW Tag Team champions Ash Campbell and Nelson Callum.

George Wolfe’s challenge was answered after last month’s show as Ace Youngblood said he will get revenge on Wolfe for the beating he gave Mayhem.

And to open the show up, Findlay O’Farraday takes on The Architect of Your Destruction.

Pranks. Pranks. Pranks. Why do people insist on pulling pranks on people? I found three men in front of me and I just wanted to punch them in the face. Apparently Herb Stately thought it’d be funny to take a shit in Cip Conduit’s boots. And even, sitting in my office, Herb couldn’t keep a straight face… And who’s there with a goofy grin alongside him? Marv Earnest. Two months ago, Marv was complaining about a stupid prank Starr played on him and now here is laughing about a disgusting health violation.

”Stop ****in’ laughing. Cip…” I pull out a check and write it. “Here’s $220. Go clean those, get new ones, I don’t care. You’re not booked for tonight, so enjoy your night off. Make sure you see Jay on your way out for your check.” Cip never looked so happy to receive a check in his life. $220 was more than he made working for us. Plus his own check. He made out alright… Then I looked at Herb. ”As for you… 25% of your check just went to Cip Conduit. What the **** Herb?”

”It was just a ribbing.”

”Yeah. A ribbing where you shat in a man’s boots. What if he had an exposed cut or something on his foot? That isn’t a ribbing, that’s endangering someone’s life.”

”Oh give him a break.”

”What?? Didn’t you just complain about Bret flipping your license plate around?”

”That was different.”

”You’re right. This was much worse. You both are lucky I don’t just have Dread & Sam go out there tonight and announce. You two really screwed the pooch. Thankfully, outside of your pay cut, I can’t do much… I already had something planned tonight…”

With that I begin to discuss with my announce team why they’re both morons…

[Cranking out one more show within the next 24 hours as all weekend I'm away at a meeting for work. I'd complain about working on weekends, but all I do is work on weekends being a pastor... Ha. So last call for predictions.]

The Confederation of the Territories Presents

Mid Atlantic Wrestling’s Americana

http://imageshack.us/a/img14/3738/m9px.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img401/2385/5hr2.jpg

”Welcome everyone to Americana! We’re starting with the Mid Atlantic champion, Cameron Vessey, and his partner, Casey Valentine, in the ring!”

”The champ does not look pleased.”

The announcers were certainly right. Cam Vessey had that sour look of disgust on his face as he received the microphone from the ring announcer.

”Here we are. Americana. The show has begun. And still, the Confederation of Territories is looking to hold me down. Still, the Mid Atlantic is looking to hold me down. Why? Because my name is Cameron Vessey, I’m your champion and yet still I HAVE NO RESPECT.

“STILL I HAVE NO RESPECT!! This is not the respect TCW champion Wolf Hawkins gets. This is not the treatment SWF Champion Steve Frehley receives. But because I’m a Vessey, because I am the GREATEST in the world… I get this subpar, ridiculous lack of respect.

“So here’s the deal.” Cam motions towards Casey who drops out of the ring. He grabs a chair and slides it into the ring. Cam sets it up, and takes a seat right in the middle of the ring. ”I was promised an opponent. I was promised an opponent by the beginning of this show and as it seems they’ve lied… well, I guess I don’t have someone to fight.”

”And you won’t next month either… Because I will be winning tonight’s number one contendership match! And blood is thicker than water bro. Especially when it’s the blood of the legacy. The blood WE spill for you fans, the blood that’s on YOUR hands. So next month? Old School Rules? There won’t be a MAW Championship match because YOU. DON’T. DESERVE. IT.”

The crowd begins to boos but slowly those boos turn into cheers as Mozart’s Dies Irae begins to play signifying the entrance of Findlay O’Farraday.

http://imageshack.us/a/img541/9094/tvh1.jpg

The big man makes his way down to the ring and gets in. He looks like he’s about to fight C-V-2 but instead simply grabs the microphone out of Casey’s hands.

”You two… You two are really need to get a life. First off, Casey, I’ve beaten you to a pulp twice this year and well, I’m not afraid of doing it again.”

”Lucky break. Let’s go right now!!”

”I’d rather not whoop your ass again. As for you Cam? Well… I respect you as champion, but last month you got involved in my business… So next month? I’m getting involved in yours. See, you can sit here all night, but I’m fighting the Architect. We’ll fight with you in the ring, I don’t care. But know this chump, whether it’s you and Keith, you and Wright, you and X or…” Findlay makes a face of disgust as he points to Casey… ”You and this weasel… Know, you got a third party. The Rip Chord Invitational and longest reigning champion in MAW history, Findlay O’Farraday.”

”Well… You wanna fight Casey and I? Let’s go right now.”

Vessey pops out of his seat but before anything can happen, “Dogs of War” by Pink Floyd plays. The crowd, realizing who’s about to come out, begins to cheer.

http://imageshack.us/a/img543/8721/2nzr.jpg

Dread makes his way out, but stops by the entrance. He has a smile on his face.

”The Mid Atlantic Champion holding up a show, waiting for me to make my decision. Cam, I didn’t think you had it in you, but you actually have a shred of respect in you. Respect for your authority… Respect for your elder. Respect for… your superior.” Vessey looks wicked upset at Dread’s words but the former World Champion continues. ”Well, good. I’m glad you waited. And Findlay, I’m sure you’re going to be interested. See, Cam, I don’t think you’re walking away tonight Mid Atlantic champion. I actually think tonight is the last night of your reign. For, last month you barely skated by Matthew Keith. But tonight? Tonight you fight a decorated tag wrestler. A former PSW Champion. A 2001 graduate of the House of Stone… Ladies and Gentlemen, the first entrant in the Starrcade Gauntlet for the COTT World’s Championship…

“GREG BLACK!!”

http://imageshack.us/a/img849/2969/rlm9.jpg

“No Church in the Wild” by Jay-Z & Kanye begins to play as the former SWF Tag champ and PSW champion makes his way out. He shakes hands with Dread who hands the microphone to Black.

“It’s an honor bossman. Confederation of the Territories, Starrcade, August 14! I cannot wait. But until then? Cam Vessey? Your belt is mine tonight.” Vessey motions for Black to come and take it as Findlay stands there amused.

”Oh and Cam, there is something for you… See, if you win… You become our second participant in the Starrcade Gauntlet for the Belt. But I think we have a match right Findlay? So Cam, Casey and Greg? Head back to the back. And The Architect? Get on out here.”

The crowd murmurs at the announcement as Vessey and Findlay have a mini staredown. Nothing comes from it, as we get a shot of the announce team.

”What an announcement! And here comes the living legend, COTT President Dread is joining us on commentary!”

”Welcome aboard Mr. President, I hope you have seen all of the talent available here in MAW for the COTT World’s Championship!”

”I have. And I have ideas…And no, your guys are not World’s Championship material. So don’t even suck up to get it…”

Findlay O’Farraday vs. The Architect of Your Destruction

Ever see someone with a name as long as the Architect’s? And he’s fighting a former MAW champion. This one was written before it was even announced. O’Farraday finishes it with a huge powerslam that he follows up with a Dreadsault, which Dread absolutely loves.

Findlay O’Farraday d. The Architect, Dreadsault, 3:27, E+

Before anything else can happen, the lights go out in the arena. After a few moments they’re turned back on.

”Well it seems we’ve los-“

”Look at Herb!”

A shot of Herb Stately is shown who’s lying face down in a pool of blood.

”We need medics out here now!”

”But how?”

”This is only my second night here in MAW, I don’t know. But whoever it was just lost their shot at the COTT World’s Title!”

Pink Floyd’s Welcome to the Machine begins to play over the PA system as a medical team comes down to help Herb to the back. The Dynamite Express also run down and head immediately to the announce table to revive their manager, to no avail. Welcome to the Machine ends abruptly as the Express look around confused.

”Ladies and gentlemen, we’re sorry for the commotion. We have no idea what’s going on, but Herb is definitely done for the night.”

”Which means I get to stay around for the rest of the night.”

Campbell & Callum vs. The Dynamite Express

One of the big things that was noticeable in this match? The absence of Herb Stately. And the MAW tag champs felt it. Campbell & Callum took advantage of it too. But this didn’t hinder the MAW tag champs. They fought hard, and clean. The two teams really got the crowd into the match and while the PSW tag champs were used to playing the young cocky heels in Pittsburgh, the crowd cheered for the team simply because they weren’t the Express. That crowd advantage, and the lack of Herb, leads to distraction and distance in thought. Campbell finishes off Collier with a nice Shooting Star Press and Jones is nowhere close in time to break the pin.

Backstage, the “King of Charisma” Robbie Wright is standing by with his manager Lisa Bowen. Bowen is massaging his shoulders as Wright smiles at the camera.

“Didn’t notice you there. Just getting a last minute massage from my lovely courtier, Miss Lisa. It’s good to be the king.” Robbie winks at the camera and lets out an exasperated sigh. “This… This is normal treatment. You see, Citizen X, he talks about how he does things for the people. He talks about how he wants what’s best for the people.

“That, my peasants, is nothing more than a lie. X goes ahead and plays that card for cheers, but just like everyone else in this business, in the end of the day, it’s about what we can do for ourselves. How we can help ourselves… How we can better ourselves. Unlike X though, the King doesn’t lie. The King doesn’t hide behind some silly excuse. Instead, I will be honest…

“Tonight I will win the number one contender’s four way dance. For me. And next month? I’ll defeat that oaf O’Farraday and whoever wins tonight. That will just add another jewel to the crown of the king. And X? When that happens, when Fan Festival comes around, you will bow to the king. All Hail The King!”

Robbie Wright laughs as Lisa Bowen gives him a peck on the cheek as the show fades back to ringside.

”Robbie Wright sure does have an ego problem. I hope he gets slapped down tonight.”

”Yes, he is egotistical, but he’s also talented and deserves to be in tonight’s match.”

”We shall see. Put up or shut up for George Wolfe next as he faces the partner of the man he fought last month, Ace Youngblood.”

Million Dollar Challenge

George Wolfe w/Ernest Forthdyke-Hume vs. Ace Youngblood

Unlike last month, Youngblood wasn’t accompanied by his partner and Marv made a note of the numbers game. Youngblood however brought his A game to Wolfe. This threw Wolfe off and it looked like Youngblood might be grabbing the million dollars. However, Forthdyke-Hume, sensing his million dollars was slipping out of his hands, managed to distract Youngblood with handful of salt leading to Wolfe landing the Running Powerslam on the helpless Youngblood for the win.

George Wolfe d. Ace Youngblood, Salt in Eyes/Running Powerslam, 11:42, E

”Impressive but underhanded win there.”

”Yes indeed. But it’s not like you’ve never taken your own underhanded routes, have you?”

”Err.. Well… We got a special segment up next?”

Green Day’s Working Class Hero was indeed playing as the Proletariat began to make their way out. Citizen Y stops and hands his sunglasses to a child amongst the Proletariat fans. The two men get into the ring as X grabs a microphone.

“What shall profit a man if he gain the world but lose his soul? In the end of the day, what good is done? Shall he be a better man? Shall he be a trustworthy man? Shall he be someone who tells the truth or a liar?

“This is the question I ask His Royal Majesty…. You say I am a liar. You say I do it for myself… What purpose would I have in lying? What purpose would I serve if I did these things for myself? To me, that life is selfish and thus selfless. To me, I wouldn’t want to live a lie of a life like that. That life is fit for lesser men.

“Robbie Wright, Matthew Keith, Casey Valentine – You all fight for your own honor. You all fight for your own purpose. I? I fight not for myself, but for the people. And tonight, the People will rise and help me secure what is rightfully ours.”

X drops the microphone as Working Class Hero plays again and he heads to the back, most likely to prepare for his match with Citizen Y in tow.

”Good God what was that?”

”MAW’s resident Marxist, Citizen X.”

”Damn hippie liberals…”

Mr. Lucha III & El Mitico Jr. vs. Hollywood Bret Starr & The Deadline

A match that certainly earned its place on the card, up to this point this was match of the night. All four men, even The Deadline in his pro debut, all worked solidly. It was a classic tag formula too. Even amount of action as the luchadors looked to be picking up steam, a thumb to the eye and illegal tags by the heels caught Lucha III stuck in their half of the ring until the hot tag to Mitico cleaned house. Once again, a few illegal maneuvers kept the heels in it and separated Mitico this time. However his hot tag to Lucha III ended up being lukewarm as when Lucha III went after the Deadline, Starr was able to get the low blow on his adversary and allow the Deadline to hit the Deadliner for the 3 count.

We cut to Matthew Keith backstage walking, fists taped for the match.

”I’d say something like the blowhards before me, but I got a match.”

Keith pushes past the camera and heads out to the ring.

”Matthew Keith serious. He pushed the champ to the limit last month, what will he do tonight?”

”I don’t know Marv, but this is going to be one hell of a match for sure!”

Number One Contender’s Four Way Match

Matthew Keith vs. Citizen X vs. Robbie Wright (w/Lisa Bowen) vs. Cameron Vessey

Unlike the usual pace of events, this one started off hard and fast with the rivals all going after each other. Keith and Vessey brawled in one corner, X and Wright brawled in the other and Marv & Dread had a hard time keeping up with the action. Fast paced but a bit sloppy and rushed at times, this match became less about psychology and more about the raw attitude to win. Bowen, being the only ringside worker despite each man having an ally they could’ve brought, became something of an attraction as everytime something happened to Wright, she would react. Spot of the match came when X and Keith gave Wright a double flapjack to the outside. Immediately after this, Bowen ran over with a handkerchief and began to wipe sweat off his brow much to the crowd’s displeasure. The fast pace of this match picked up in the last couple minutes and saw a hard finish to the match become executed. Much in the same fashion of last month’s Wrestling Classic, the end of the match saw each man try to put each other away. Keith, went to lock in the Proton Lock on Valentine but X saved Valentine with the Flaming Anarchy from the top rope. He went to hit the X-Wave on Valentine, but once again Valentine was saved by Robbie Wright with the Wright Move on X. As Wright took a moment to gloat, he found himself lifted into the air by Casey Valentine and hit with the Deep Impact for the surprising victory, cementing C-V-2’s threats from earlier in the night.

Casey Valentine d. Wright, X, Keith, Deep Impact, 12:01, D-

As Valentine celebrated, Keith looked shocked. The man who had pushed the champ to a 30 minute match just lost without being pinned. He couldn’t believe it as Valentine celebrated, like he had won the championship. Before he could continue, Marv Earnest was on the microphone.

”I wouldn’t be celebrating just yet Casey… See, next month is Old School Rules. And because of that, I can’t just have Findlay O’Farraday going in fighting a handicap match against you and Vessey for the title… So, after discussing with the MAW Board of Directors, next month there will be a 10 man battle royal to start the show off featuring the best MAW has to offer… And the winner will go into the match, making it another four way dance for the MAW championship!”

The crowd pops at the announcement as Valentine looks furious. This brings out the champ, Cameron Vessey but before he can say anything, “No Church in the Wild” begins to play bringing out his challenger for the night.

”Great decision Marv. Make it somewhat even for the challenger!”

”I try my best. The fans pay for competitive action.”

Mid Atlantic Championship Match

The most traded talent in the COTT certainly earned his pay as he and Vessey went to put on one of the greatest MAW matches in history. While some can argue of the classic Jay Chord/Jean Cattley matches, this match set a standard in the Valentine era and showed the versatility of Cameron Vessey. Unlike last month, working against someone who wrestled the same style, this month Vessey was going against someone who worked a style completely opposite of his own. Black wasn’t much of a brawler so it became more about the technician (Vessey) and the high flyer (Black) paying homage to some of the great early days of Hollyweird when the Cruiserweight division still existed. As Black wowed the fans with his speed and cunningness, Vessey showed why he was the smartest man in the MAW countering everything that Black threw at him on the mat.

With that in mind, Black began to up the speed of the match going after Vessey from all angles. This only brought the intensity of Vessey as he began to target Black’s legs. This targeting proved useful in the end as when black hopped up to the top rope, his weakened legs slipped allowing Vessey to take advantage…

”Vessey now going up on top… What’s he doing?”

”This is the stuff of championship caliber fighters Marv!”

”OH MY GOD!!! VESSEY DRIVER OFF THE TOP ROPE!! It’s all over! Vessey limps over to Black… He pins him… And three count by Jay Fair!”

Cameron Vessey d. Greg Black, Vessey Driver, 24:08, C

Rather than the ordinary celebrations, Vessey rolls out to the outside right in front of the announce table. He looks at Dread and holds up his MAW belt…

”The champ sending a message to the COTT President. The MAW Champion is going to Starrcade! The MAW Champion is going to Starrcade!!”

Final Show Rating D+

So quick thoughts here as I finish up another piece of writing before head out for the weekend…

Loved the show. Really surprised that Black/Vessey outdid Keith/Vessey. The draw perhaps in their match? Not sure. Still adjusting to 13 over 10. Also Vessey was off his game in this show… So I can only imagine if he was on it. Match of the night is clear (Vessey/Black), promo of the night was Dread introducing Black and Cameron Vessey just bumped up to a D+ in the Mid Atlantic from a D- before the show… WHAT THE HECK? I have some time left on his contract, but as I wish to play MAW true to form, if I can’t resign him… That will suck. I am really enjoying Vessey right now. But that’s a whiles away…

Predictions

Phantom – 9

Another day in the office meant life was boring. Sophie wasn’t around, Sam had taken her to help translate, and the only thing I heard was the laughter of Marv Earnest…

It was an annoying laugh. I tried to drown it out by going on the internet which was always worth checking out. Especially TEW.com…

Peter Valentine playing politics… Um. Right. No surprise there from my uncle.

SWF and TCW getting second tv shows… Great. That means expansion.

Sam Strong retiring from the business completely… WHAT?

Jackson Andrews died peacefully in his home in Winnipeg…

That’s when a knock was on my door. Before I could respond the big man, Findlay O’Farraday, came in smiling and took a seat. He looked pleased…

”What’s up big man?”

“Oh… Nothing… Just came to tell you that I have a job offer for you.” I looked at O’Farraday intently… ”I decided to open up a company… Pro Wrestling MAX. We’re going to the top and we’re going to do it by having high impact, real tough guy wrestling. And I want you to book it.” I laughed and Findlay looked a little offended.

”That’s grand…… Oh… you’re serious? You’re really opening a promotion?” Findlay nods as I begin to retract… ”Look that’s great… I’m just loyal to MAW that’s all. I appreciate the offer but I need to stay where I’m needed, and that’s MAW. But thanks. A ton… Have you talked to Sam?”

”No…”

”Well you might want to. He’ll help you get into COTT most likely. You fulfilling your contract with us still?”

”Oh yeah man… I need to… PWMAX ain’t making money right now.” I let that thought sink in for a moment, he did just open it after all. Maybe he hasn’t realized he needs to have a show first… I stuck out my hand for Findlay to shake which he took it.

”Well I’ll certainly be following buddy. I know you’ll rock.”

Well… that was nice of him. Offering me a job like that… I should recommend my uncle Peter. I looked back at the computer screen to see another unfortunate news event… El Patron had died… Dang.

Mid Atlantic Wrestling and the Confederation of the Territories is proud to present

Old School Rules

Marv Earnest made it clear that he wanted the main event of Findlay O’Farraday, Cameron Vessey and Casey Valentine to not be a handicap match so he’s making it a four way dance with the fourth entrant being the winner of a Ten Man Battle Royal. With no alliances in the Battle Royal, who will come out on top and get a shot for the MAW Championship later in the night? And will this make a difference to C-V-2 who seems intent on having Cameron Vessey come out on top? And how will this change Findlay O’Farraday who cashed in his belt to give the fans what they wanted, competition?

In other championship news, MAW American Champion, Hollywood Bret Starr will be defending his belt against Mr. Lucha III one more time in what MAW Commissioner Marv Earnest announced as a Do or Die match.

The Tag Champs were upset last month by the PSW Tag Team Champs, and this month The Dynamite Express will be defending their belts against The Proletariat. If Herb Stately has recovered from last month’s brutal attack, will he make the difference in his men’s corner or will the Proletariat win it… for… the… people?

The Million Dollar Challenge continues this month, in handicap fashion as Ernest Forthdyke-Hume announced George Wolfe will defeat the Lost Cause handedly, but with two men be more than the Wolfe can handle?

PLUS: Matthew Keith reacts to his loss.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img708/7983/7u6a.jpg The Confederation of the Territories Presents Mid Atlantic Wrestling’s Old School Rules Ten Man Battle Royal – Winner Advances to Main Event http://imageshack.us/a/img827/4691/pk98.jpghttp://imageshack.us/a/img838/8718/sfg3.jpg</div> Marv Earnest and Herb Stately welcome us to the show as it begins with Robbie Wright and Max Mayhem in the ring. The announcers explain that every 90 seconds, another man will enter and that elimination is by pinfall, submission or being thrown over the top rope. The draw was random and as Herb pointed it out, Wright and Mayhem were on the wrong end of the draw… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img69/4452/hzpq.jpg</div> But for Wright, the luck changed as the two heels began to work on the face. Mayhem however, managed to avoid over the top elimination despite the two on one attack lasting long enough for… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img811/7581/s295.jpg</div> Partner Ace Youngblood to come out. The team immediately began to fight the heels off until Mayhem was gorilla pressed over the top rope by the Deadline signifying the first elimination. Once again another two on one double team until Kansas’ “Carry On My Wayward Son” plays and the crowd goes nuts for the Battle Royale favorite, Matthew Keith. Unfortunately… no one seems to come out. The music cues again, and again no one comes out. A third time music plays, but this time it’s Elvis’ Hound Dog… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img811/296/4wzq.jpg</div> ”Tennessee William? What’s he doing out here?” ”That’s Gold Record Recording Tennessee William Marv! He’s my newest signing and I told him to wait in the wings as an alternative…” ”Alternative?! What did you do to Matthew Keith?!” ”Nothing, I swear! But here comes the next MAW Champion!!” The crowd boos the country star who runs into the ring. He joins the three-on-one beatdown before hitting The Deadline with an eye gouge. Realizing he’s the biggest one in the ring, Wright, Youngblood and William begin to turn the three-on-one attack on the Deadline. Before he can be eliminated though… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img689/6848/qfyw.jpg</div> El Mitico Jr. runs down! From the top rope, Mitico dives sending all three men that were attacking the Deadline scattering as The Deadline is sent reeling over the top rope with a dropkick from El Mitico Jr. Deadline looks absolutely furious as he argues with Jay Fair. Before Fair can send The Deadline to the back, El Mitico comes flying over the top rope, eliminating himself and taking out The Deadline again! ”And El Mitico Jr. not caring about the win tonight, just looking to get vengeance on The Deadline!!” ”And that is why Mitico is a loser. He might have taken Deadline out, but now he will NEVER be World Champion. With over half of the entrants already entered (and three being eliminated) the three men in the ring take no breaks. Youngblood immediately goes after Wright, the man who’s been in the longest of the three. This leaves Tennesse William… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img13/2511/n0le.jpg</div> Who is attacked by the Architect… The attack lasts about five seconds before William tosses Architect over the other end of the ring. ”The Architect was the seventh entrant, fourth elimination and first elimination for William there in about ten seconds!” ”And not the last elimination for Tennessee either Marv!” William goes over to Wright and Youngblood and once again the heels are teaming up on the lone face, however as predicted, this doesn’t last too long. Unfortunately for the heels, the eighth arrival also marks the largest arrival… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img819/6341/1d65.jpg</div> Perdition immediately goes to work on William and Wright, giving them both double coconuts. Youngblood wisely rolls under the ropes to the outside to catch his breath as Jay Fair warns him to get back in the ring. Perdition however is taking on both William and Wright, with ease. Marv comments that it’s very likely Perdition can win with one of the last two entrants being his partner, Cip Conduit… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img577/8927/coe7.jpg</div> At this moment however, it was Copperhead and once again it’s a heel advantage over the faces. The three heels begin to triple team Perdition, and Youngblood joins in realizing that Perdition’s size overcomes heel/face lines. As the four men begin to work on Perdition, the countdown begins, signifying the last entrant in the battle royale… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img21/4479/vyu9.jpg</div> However, as he’s sliding in, he’s a moment too late as the four men manage to eliminate Perdition. Conduit, doesn’t take too kindly to the elimination and sneaks up behind Copperhead and tosses him over. The final four is an even affair of faces and heels as Conduit takes on William and Youngblood takes on Wright. Conduit, the fresher man, takes the fight to William but a low blow by William (which Herb announces is as legal as any other move) leads to the Devil’s Crossroads and the only pinfall of the contest eliminating Conduit. Tennessee William jumps on the top rope to celebrate the victory and Ace Youngblood follows the celebration by dumping the country star over the top rope, leaving just Youngblood and Wright. Wright, who’s been in for close to 20 minutes, is looking gassed. Meanwhile Youngblood, who’s been in since the 4th minute or so, might be slightly fresher but not by much. The two, both looking to end this quickly, immediately go for high impact moves as Wright manages to begin with the Wright Move, but is reversed in mid air for Youngblood to get a near two count with a small package. Wright, upset, tries to clothesline Youngblood, but Youngblood ducks under it and manages to hit his own clothesline. This sets Wright up for the Flying Tomahawk Chop, which Youngblood connects with, making Wright light work to toss over giving Youngblood the surprising win and chance to become Mid Atlantic Champion!

With quick tags, the more experienced team looked like the more threatening team to win it early. With X out on the apron, the heels took full advantage of the rules (and then some) causing Jay Fair to spend most of his time keeping X on the apron as opposed to properly refereeing. Syd Collier looked like he was going to finish Y off with the Texas Cloverleaf… However, the lights went out and things began to change… When the lights came on, Collier’s partner Cameron Jones was out on the outside bleeding much like Herb was last month and the eerie chords to Pink Floyd’s Welcome to the Machine was playing. Collier had let go of the Cloverleaf and went to check on Jones immediately, leading to a hot tag from Y to X. X went in like a bat outta hell and began to pummel Collier leading to the rare heel-in-peril as X & Y turned the now handicap match into a wiping of the floor. Citizen Y set up Collier for the Hit (Urnage Slam) but the music of Proletariat’s rival, Robbie Wright, hit and this was enough for X & Y to be distracted long enough for Collier to get a quick roll up and win.

Robbie Wright is laughing at the top of the entrance as X and Y, both shocked, look. Collier has helped Jones up and as they’re celebrating, X grabs a microphone. “That’s it! Wright, you’ve screwed around enough with us. Forget the poetry, forget the eloquence, next month, you and me. This ring.” Wright simply laughs as Lisa Bowen hands him a microphone, almost overjoyed. “It’s funny you should say that X… See, next month you’ll get your match. But it won’t be with me… No the king doesn’t fight lowly peasants. Instead, I have much better things to attend to. Instead, you’ll be fighting a member of my court… Say hello to the Duke of Destruction, Nate DeMarcus!” <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img694/1056/z7l5.jpg</div> As The Proletariat, and the crowd, look at Wright waiting, a man sneaks into the ring. At 6’5, DeMarcus certainly is much larger than X and Y and he turns both around and grabs both in a chokeslam and slams both men much to the displeasure of the crowd. DeMarcus stands over them, pleased with the destruction before exiting the ring. Bowen now has the microphone… “I hope you’re ready to bow before your king X. All hail the King of Charisma!” The crowd boos as the trio, Wright, DeMarcus and Bowen head to the back leaving the Proletariat down in the ring…</div></blockquote> ”What a match announcement!” ”What?

Matt Keith’s mysterious attacker, whether or not Ace Youngblood who’s been with MAW 5 years in his first main event, Findlay O’Farraday cashing in his RCI win, C-V-2 and whether or not they could be cohesive enough as a team or not throughout the whole match… This match had the crowd pumped. The first question of Ace Youngblood deserving to be in the main event or not was answered early. The Native American wrestler took it immediately to all three men and showed that he could hang with the big boys. Of course, that didn’t mean he could stay with the big boys as Cessey and Valentine showed they could work as a team (at least early on) hitting the Flying V on Youngblood making him the first elimination… This led to the handicap match which Marv tried to avoid but despite the two men advantage, O’Farraday had one thing going for him – he was a big dude. However, even big wrestlers fall to the two on one advantage, albeit not easily. C-V-2 was working remarkably well together despite the knowledge they would have to both be going for the belt if they eliminated O’Farraday. They set up another Flying V, but O’Farraday still not weakened enough, managed to avoid Valentine who hit Vessey instead setting Valentine up for the Atomic Spinebuster and elimination #2. This left O’Farraday, challenger, and Vessey, champion. The two men began to brawl as the now traditional “FIND-LAY” chant began to ring out in the MAW arena. The man who became a fan favorite back in 2009 began to take the advantage much to the crowd’s delight and even set the champion up for the Atomic Spinebuster, but Vessey always being aware of his in ring presence grabbed referee Jay Fair as O’Farraday was dropping him taking the ref down too. O’Farraday desperately tried to awaken the referee when “Carry On My Wayward Son” began to play… <div style="text-align:center;">http://imageshack.us/a/img4/7816/veuj.jpg</div> Out from the back came a bandaged Matthew Keith, wearing a referee shirt! Marv says he’ll allow it from the announcer’s table as Findlay realizes what’s going on. Keith slides in as the pin is made… ..1 ..2 KICKOUT. The crowd boos as Keith looks frustrated. Findlay shakes his head and picks up the champion for another Atomic Spinebuster, but before he can even lift the champ up, Vessey rolls out of it and to the outside and as he sees both Keith and O’Farraday standing in the ring. He looks over to Earnest who again, reiterates, that he’s allowing Keith to stand in for Jay Fair who is knocked out. Vessey looks livid but rolls back in. Keith doesn’t do anything to interfere, allowing the match to continue and once again it dives into a brawl and once again the bigger man has the advantage. But Vessey begins to work on O’Farraday’s knees and a couple of chop blocks to the big man’s right knee, bring O’Farraday down. The crowd is going nuts chanting “FIND-LAY” again but the champ sees his advantage and lifts the big man up, with much effort, and connects with a HUGE Vessey Driver. Vessey however, stares at Keith who looks upset, and slides to the outside and grabs a chair. Herb defends the champ’s use of a chair, pointing out how four man matches have no disqualifications or count outs as Keith simply stares at Vessey. Vessey lifts up the chair and smacks it with a HUGE thud against O’Farraday’s head as the crowd begins to boo. Another chair shot to the head brings trash being thrown into the ring and Vessey tosses the chair to the side and pins his opponent… Keith reluctantly counts… ..1 ….2 ……3. The longest three count in history ends with an unconscious O’Farraday looking up and Cam Vessey, exhausted, lifting his arms in victory. Cameron Vessey d.
