Often. But I do currently have the greatest Mexican company in decades, so I think that I ought to have an opinion worth hearing. As is required law for any lucha libre article that might be published outside of Mexico, I want to talk about Electrico today. However, I will also be talking about Blood Raven. Why? These two have vastly different styles of arm drags, the ever-popular and ubiquitous lucha libre move. Electrico uses a very deep arm drag. Watching him and other competitors, his is more of a "shoulder" drag, in the sense that he cinches the opponent shoulder-to-shoulder, rather than merely hooking the arm to be dragged. This results-or should I say, has resulted-in a move that historically is very difficult to counter. When Electrico wants to hit an arm drag, he typically lands the move. Admittedly, the "problem" he has faced is that his variant of the arm drag is relatively difficult to lock in. An extremely fast opponent does not leave Electrico enough time to prepare the throw, leading to some fairly damaging charges, including a few pinfalls of note. Blood Raven uses a Japanese-style arm drag. This should be unsurprising given his time in Japan. The Japanese arm drag requires the user to drop to their back instead of twisting with the opponent; this sends the attacker to the mat on his back as the unfortunate recipient flips over him. The obvious negative is that this type of an arm drag is damaging to the user. By falling to one's back, Blood Raven causes a bit of damage to himself that, late in a match, has resulted in him being unable to perform a crucial pinfall. As for the positive to the Japanese arm drag, the move is nearly impossible to miss. Because Blood raven initiates his opponent's flip with his own backward motion, the opponent is hard-pressed to find a way to not be dragged to the mat. I would note the historical influence of the arm drag on lucha libre, but I have a feeling that article would not be well-met.</div></blockquote> Eh, I'll talk about Fuerza later; was going to talk about the three...three? ways of pushing an untalented hoss. Meh. MOAR POSTS COMON DHR MOAR.

<div style="text-align:center;">SWF Supreme TV</div> SWF World Tag Team Championship: The All-Americans© vs. The Platinum Blondes Starting with the tag match, I must note that The Platinum Blondes are actually blond. Also, all but American Machine cannot perform under the pressure of an all-out match. However, he merely does not have the ability to perform at that level. Enough of the negatives; BJ O'Neill did well as a manager, and Fry/Michaels have pretty good chemistry at the desk. Good job. The match is combat between force from the champions and the aerial work of James Prudence. Frederique is...inconsequential, largely. He gets taken down repeatedly by strong attacks and saved numerous times by Prudence, who finally hits a Prudential Pain Plan on Davids. And gets the submission! The Platinum Blondes win; new champions! rating: 66 Steve Frehley finds himself the target of both Remo and Vengeance backstage; he can't take on both of them without getting beaten down. Remo doesn't have a bad gimmick, 89 Enforcer Roberts vs. Lobster Warrior I wanted Roberts' good gimmick and psychology to benefit from Lobster Warrior's momentum and popularity. Lobster Warrior is clearly on the downside of his career; I want him to elevate some talent before I send him down to train the next generation of stars. His consistency will be greatly beneficial. Now why Enforcer Roberts? He's the heel analogue to Christian Faith. Seriously, that's why. RCT gets another victory. Enforcer Roberts wins; Lobby is old and a poor gimmick, rating: 77 As is typical of most of her clients' matches, Emma Chase spends some time hyping up Brandon James backstage. Nothing terribly important in my opinion, but it did well for the crowd. Chase improvized decently; James has a poor gimmick; 84 Jack Bruce walks to the ring for 10 minutes. Rating: 9-****ing-6 Eric Eisen/Brandon James vs. Jack Bruce/Valiant Eric in this match might indicate Gilmore interference, but we'll see. AS usual, Emma plays an excellent manager, and the announce desk is rife with chemistry. Sadly, though I knew this in booking the match, the lack of psychology from any one participant was always likely to ruin the fans' heavy interest in the match. Rogue distracts Valiant early in the match causing a V-Split to get countered by Eisen. Valiant actually leaves the ring after briefly tagging in Jack Bruce, leaving the fan-favorite to face his opposition alone. Rogue is a very, very smart wrestler. Bruce fares fairly well, knocking Eisen around like a ragdoll and avoiding the worst of James' moves. A Huntingdon distraction, however, soon ends that streak with The Big Cat Pounce. Before the pin can be made, Eric begs to be tagged in. History and such, past storylines, that kind of thing. Begrudgingly Brandon tags him in, and Eric makes the pin. But at the two count, BLINDSIDE KNEE FROM ANGRY GILMORE! Angry Gilmore continues beating down my son as the bell frantically rings signalling the disqualification victory! Ringside is cleared as officials pull Tom off of my son. Eric Eisen/Brandon James win by disqualification; rating: 83 Christian Faith does a good, if standard, hype for his Vengeance match up next. Faith improvised well, rating: 93 Christian Faith vs. Vengeance This match underperformed greatly. Vengeance needs to sell. I am angry. Vengeance wins; not enough selling; Vengeance has poor gimmick; rating 80 ~~~ <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Post-Show: I did a little improv routine with Emma Chase.

Woo fanbase! .5 done, btw; stupid matches with your stupid GOD 10 PEOPLE ****! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>With us is Dazzling Dave Diamond, Triple-D, Mr. 3DT himself. After a controversial recent exit from New York City Wrestling, Dave's been out of work. Perhaps to make pittance off of our offer, he's agreed to sit down and be subjected to the abuse with which you all are so familiar. Dave: As dad used to say, "Lay on, Macduff." Pretty sure that wasn't your father. Anyway, Dave, got a big birthday coming up, right? Dave: Normally, coming up on year seven of your career means you're 27, 28 years old at the latest. Debuting at that age...I'm a late bloomer. Did a bit of guitar work before I jumped into things, ran around at the supermarket, that kind of thing. And yes, I've been on a farm before. Mid-teens. I'm 35 now is the point, in a couple months, and...can't say life's been too terrible to me. But your mid-thirties...don't you think it's about time to slow down? Dave: ...Nah. ... Oh, that's it? Dave: You ask me a question, I throw back an answer. If you want why? Well, lessee...truth is, I don't feel that slow. Don't feel particularly old, physically, and that's the good thing about the business. Wrestling is-can be-a low-impact variety of physical work on the body. Means you can go a good twenty, thirty years even if you have it in you. Do you? Dave: I dunno about fifty, but I think I won't be feeling it until I'm forty. As to whether or not you'll be seeing it...don't know, couldn't tell you. So about your being unemployed, then... Dave: Right, right, me and Larry, right? Yep. Dave: Thing is, you got to understand something: we don't get along. And yeah, no, don't stop me there with it's obvious and such. I know we all know that, but the point is that's the point. Ain't nothing but working for a boss you ain't working out with, right? And wrestling's such that you don't have to go out there for a guy that's not what you're looking for, y'know? So you quit after two years. Dave: Yep, two years, took it off. Had the Tri-State down for about half a year, two years after my debut. Not bad, considering I had really debuted the year before that. So three years in the industry, they give me the belt. 31's not so bad, right? And then... You quit. Dave: Nah, that's half of it. Not even that, really. 2010 Stomper decides to leave. Can't blame him; he's not the nicest guy, so I imagine he's had a few fights before. Add that into fifty-whatever years old, all the bumps and stuff...yeah, guy's needing to get the hell out. It's why I've leaned conservative, by the way-I need to keep this career as long as I can. And keep friends, of course. You're missing the heart of the question. The Stomper obviously liked you, but why did you only give Larry two years? Dave: Considering I gave Stomper three at best, it's not exactly disrespectful, is it? Look, fine, you want the real deal, right? I want to know what the issue was. Dave: Point is, Larry's always been kinda slow. In the ring. God, not slow in the head, mentally stunted, none of that. Take it back, strike it, whatever, didn't mean to even imply that at all. Even if...god, okay, let's retry that. Okay... Dave: Larry's always had a slow pace, and point is even if he did have brain damage, dude ran around in Pride for however long with Bryan so I'm sure a concussion or two along the well sure as hell ain't helping him. But I'm talking slow ring-style, slow type of booking. Not that Stomper's a wizard, of course, because we all know he's old-school as can get. But Larry... Was in PGHW since you debuted in the business, actually, but Larry what? Dave: Yeah, you're right. Point is, just something about him, man, didn't click. I tried it, I waited, and maybe there's jealousy, or whatever the word is for him not giving me a shot. Never had a title since, is what I'm saying. You do that to a guy in his thirties, lose my respect, y'know? Didn't get back Tri-State neither even with a good five years working. So I tell him, and... And? Dave: And hell, I dunno. Can't tell me one side of the thing and get all the answer, right? I'm Texas, right? I'm Texas, and hell, he started off TWL like all my favorites. Chord, Liberty, Stomper himself- Professor Nero? Dave: **** you man **** Nero don't bring that **** in here. You don't like him? Dave: Like **** I do! Ain't no one, NO ONE, in Texas round back the eighties likes him. ****, I'm a ****ing KID! God, what the **** we talking about you bring up...**** man. You do know wrestling's fake, right? Dave: I'M GOD **** TEN YEARS OLD WHEN THAT ****ER LAST WON THE TITLE! You remember that match? Because my nightmares for the next three years should as hell do. ****. Won't ****ing catch me in Rhode Island over that ****. EVER. God **** that's just messed up, man. God. O...kay. So back on Vessey, all right? Dave: Yeah, ****, whatever man. Vessey, right, he's all about the pacing and the structure and it's just like Stomper, right? But he's...I dunno, I guess he's just starting, or restructuring...what I'm saying is sure, personality clash happened. Surprised he hasn't pissed off more people, sure, but it's really just I can't be friends with him. Could I work? Sure, I did for two years, but when the wheels are spinning...when you're spinning, and you got a boss that don't really work with you...what I'm saying is, I could consider going back, if we was all professional or whatever. But I know it's not going to be that way. It's not ribbing or anything, or not one specific thing, but...it's like chopping wood, right, but we're going hammer-and-wedge here. You knock it in, got a little kink. Crack, you mean. Dave: Kink, crack, whatever meth-head. Point is, you hit it, little problem. Keep hammering away...hole gets bigger...comes to the point where you ain't got no wood no more, you're looking at two halves. It's a long time coming, sure, but when it happens, ain't going back, man. But you would go back, right? Dave: Sure, hell, he gives me money and a shot, whatever. Strong dislike or not, I'm looking for a paycheck. Been out of the usual workforce for...well, since '06, so like I said before, seven years going by is a long time. I don't get any offers soon, come...well, since October, so I get employed round my birthday, thinking that it's going to be hard for me to work out. Gotta have a job, y'know, and my physique...it's not terrible, and I said physically I'm still there, but thirty-five years ain't a spring chicken, right? Right...yeah. But moving on-well, talking about New York City still, but a few questions here: who was your favorite and least favorite guy to work with? Dave: Aside from Larry, obviously? Ha... Yeah. Dave: Well, let's ignore Harper and the like, right? Andrew's new as hell, started late at 22-I know, shut it-so yeah, he's going to suck. I'd say he's a bit on the stiff side, though, which is more painful yet much better than a softie. Guy hits you, you sell. Afraid to do nothing, don't got anything to do, right? So I appreciate that, aside from bruises or whatever. Ignoring the rookies, then, who is it? Dave: Worst? Let's see, worst guy...well, Atom Smasher was my debut. Not that he was terrible, or anything, but can't say I was a huge fan of my first match with the company. But worst guy, guy who I wouldn't consider going again...Oh god, Land Mass. How did I forget Land Mass. Just...we're not elaborating. Actually, you don't really need to. I'm not touching that. Let's move on to the best, shall we? Dave: Easy: Ansell. Dean Ansell. Great guy, really, really good working with him. Not friends or anything, dunno why we never clicked like that, and it's not like I'm talking, five-star-of-the-year chemistry. But he came into the company near when I debuted in wrestling, already had some work behind him, and he left just before Stomper was out. Kind of...symbolic, I'd say. So he was your favorite opponent? Dave: Well yeah, just embodied a style, y'know? Phunk was really cool-not the best for me, I guess, but what he wouldn't sell in a brawl he totally, totally had character. Decent enough guy outside, as well. Wright was...Japan's not really my thing, obviously, but ****, that guy was over. Man, that's...that guy, not in the States, but I'm talking, he's the biggest star somewhere that I've worked with. And if brawling's your thing... So you're a Diaz fan? Dave: It's the Monster, man! Of course! Not my style, but I can't help struggle through his matches. Not a puro guy, not a puro guy, not a puro guy at all. Striking's different, pacing's off, but...god, the guy's like a...he's really dang similar in my head to Bruce the Giant. And if you're calling on him, and pulling those crowds...hell, that had to be a good time. Now you mentioned you don't like puroresu- Dave: Right. Nothing against the style, but not a fan. I can tolerate lucha, coming from Texas, but it's also not my thing. -you said the pacing was off, I think, about puro. Understandably that's a stylistic thing, but we've had rumors that you script your matches to a very...rigid pace, shall we say. Dave: Eh, yeah, guess that's right. Probably a pain to work with that way. <img alt=":rolleyes:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Point is, I know who I am. I know my ability, and I know how I can work. Now Mauler? Masked Mauler, man, he's not the greatest psychologist, but by god can that man do anything you want. Lose, sure. Win? Sure. Perfect, perfect guy, change my vote to him on the opponent. Our matches were...bland, I guess, but son, I tell you I should have spoke to him a lot more. Pacing. Scripting. Dave: Right, whatever, shut up man. I'm talking about locker room leaders. But whatever, right. Okay, so Mauler's not a scripter, but he let me do that. Can't really call it at a high level either, but he'd be able to work it if he wanted. Me? No. Can't do it, can't handle it, never was my thing. Bailey? Didn't really hit it off; he's a great guy, cool outside the ring and a master in it, 'side from selling these days, but he's a guy can roll with anything. Didn't mesh. And Flash? Ha, you think I'd call him the best, right? He's pretty much king of the indies, so yes. Dave: Not one match. You're joking. Dave: Nope. Never crossed paths. Great guy, huge idol, love the guy. Everyone does, shoot. But nope, never touched it. And he scripts the match? Dave: Well, yeah, actually he did agent us a few times. Helped out some finer points. But really...at least for me, when I'm at my limit, it comes to a point where it don't matter how good he is...it's just too much, y'know? I just...can't keep up. Alright, alright, time to wrap things up. Where do you see yourself landing? Dave: It'd be amusing to hit the Confederation and head back to New York, but...well, on that note, CZCW's nearer to home. Terrible fit, but it's an option. FREEDOM'd be nice, I guess...island life, working with a powerhouse-literally, and one who's freakishly popular. Not bad, no. Were it not for Chord retiring, and my age I guess, I'd jump at MAW. What's wrong with Sam Keith? Dave: Eh, never was a fan. WHAT? Dave: What? Never was a fan of the guy. I mean, the wrestler, not the guy. Never met him. But didn't care much for his matches, really. You got to be kidding. You're...seriously? Dave: Yeah, I know. Weird. But moving on... That's...okay, sure, moving on. Dave: QAW wouldn't be terrible as a manager, and I'm sure we all get the joke about working with women that I'm making. Mid South, though, is attractive. And there it is again. Ha. Dave: USPW is probably my best bet at the big time. Similar style, kinda slow, not gut-wrenchingly hard work...maybe north at CGC if they'd have me. Plenty of brawling, new area, new...everything, really. Maybe I could help them out, I don't know. But I guess that's it, right? It is. Thank you for coming and doing this interview. Dave: Thanks for having me. And remember, guys: watch for that THREE. D. T!</div></blockquote> And yes, he's one of my favorites. For...I still don't know why. But yeah.

<div style="text-align:center;">TCW Presents Total Wrestling</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>The L.A. Connection vs. "Killer Chord" I gave them eight minutes and pretended like Killer Shark was competent. Rather, I kept him strong, but I also had them call the match in the ring. Why is Andrews on the pre-show? I'm still shuffling the roster around; at the moment, keeping him in his tag team is most prudent. Chance Fortune is an all right career midcarder at this point, with Andrews not yet having the talent to break through to the main event. That's the babyfaces. Killer Shark is currently a liability in the ring, with Jay Chord being an obvious problem outside of it. Pair them together and they're a rather poor team. I'm not expecting to keep them together long-term, hence the team name in quotes. As for the match? I had Andrews get the win on Chord. Shark needs to be kept strong if he's supposed to be even a mild threat, and Jay needs his ego in check. Andrews wins and Chord loses; Shark cannot call a match; rating: 51</div></blockquote> We open the show with myself and Wolf Hawkins in the ring. A common sight. Tommy: Ah, the crowd. Lovely crowd, yes? Sold out Friedman Building, the greatest wrestler ever and his champion, standing in the ring. All is as it should be. Wolf interrupts the crowd as they're giving off heat; nerves, or is he not ready to carry himself on the microphone? Wolf: I am the champion, and I will remain the champion for all of two-thousand thirteen. For the rest of this decade, even. I'm going to retire with this belt. Why? Because I'm able to do that. Tommy: Now hold on, Wolf. I hear some members of the audience don't seem to agree with you. They think someone can beat you. I wouldn't call my cheesy dialogue poor, but it's not particularly exceptional either. And thus it is poor. But the audience bites, and we have, "Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!" chants. Wolf: But I don't care what they think. Anyone, anyone, could come out here, tonight, right now even, and I'd beat them. Tommy: Anyone? Wolf: I assume you don't mean you, right? Tommy: No, no, I'm fine. You keep the belt. But I did run into a certain someone who thought he was deserving a shot at you. After how you won, interference, a lot of the same allegations you've been hearing. Wolf: Who is it? Tommy: Well, I'm going to join commentary for this. He's...he's a bit ruthless. A bit scary. Certainly recognizable, I'd say. Huge impact, he's had. So...good luck, kid. Wolf: Tommy? TOMMY?! Amidst his protests, I shrug and head to commentary. After telling the team to "hit his music," there's silence. Rocky chants, Ricky, hell, some Eddie Peak chants. But out comes... ELLIOT THOMAS! The next few minutes are Wolf acting like RDJ and Rocky Golden fused into one man and me saying that this is the end, Wolf's time is done, etc. Standard over-the-top reaction to a clearly inferior opponent. Wolf improvised very badly; rating: 75 TCW World Heavyweight Championship: Wolf Hawkins © vs. Elliot Thomas We all expected this to be a squash. No one was disappointed. Actually, it was a pretty good squash match. Elliot bumped when he was supposed to bump, he sold throughout, when Wolf taunted him audibly he tried to strike. This is what would be called a "bread and butter" type of easy match for the champion. Then of course they have great chemistry. It wasn't just the fact that Wolf was dominating so well; it was that the timing was spot on. Elliot blundered into another attack at just the right time, launched right as Elliot was turning around. Brilliant. Wolf with the submission win. Wolf Hawkins wins and is still champion; well-executed squash; great chemistry; rating: 69 Canadian Animals vs. Machines vs. New Wave First we have our three teams. The Canadian Animals are still relatively raw and still refuse to leave our midcard. I don't put much faith in either of them. The Machines are on their way out due to Brent Hill's age, but they're by far the steadiest team in the company. Then there is The New Wave. The New Wave have disappointed me recently by their lack of upward growth. Coming out of DaVE's demise they were a hot commodity, (alongside Peak and Bach and so on) but all they've done is be a good tag team for The Machines to fight. If they were better performers our tag division would be in the main event scene. If they were better wrestlers, they'd have had singles success. Yet I digress... Good work from all involved; with American Buffalo rounding out commentary, each team was wary of potential interference while simultaneously trying to impress one half of the champions. Edd Stone got eliminated first by Brent Hill, who was then distracted by American Buffalo leaving the desk and apparently applauding the pin. A Guided Missile ended the "celebration," as Brent Hill was summarily pinned. New Wave win and will challenge for the titles; CanAn have good managers; rating: 77 Tornado/Peak/Rahn/Buff/Pete vs. Benson/Koshiro/Danny/Joel/Sammy Allow me to explain this match. My notes: I wanted a slow-built match that was ostensibly consisting of main event talent. American Buffalo was to have a strong victory over Danny Fonzarelli. Along with that, Genghis Rahn was to have limited involvement, Eddie Peak and Troy Tornado were to be kept strong, and I wanted Texas Pete protected. Understand that Danny Fonzarelli, American Buffalo, Texas Pete, and-to a lesser degree-Genghis Rahn and Benny Benson, are all subpar ring psychologists. Understand that what I wanted was for The New Hellfire Club (the heels) to look good, to hopefully get a boost of popularity, heading into their new feud with Joel, Koshiro, and Sammy. Understand that. Floyd Goldworthy was good, Heels win, Rating: 48. Yes, this was worse than the pre-show. Joshua Taylor vs. Rick Law This, however, was a serviceable semi-main event. I should have put the three-team tag match here, but such is hindsight.Shut up. Joshua Taylor is on his way to being...the next Bryan Vessey, actually. Except without the steroids and somewhat-better entertainment skills. And a better attitude. My point is that I have very, very high hopes for the man. This match is just the beginning of his rise upward. However, it was also an opportunity for Joey Minnesota to distract Rick Law, making the Butterfly Lock victory a bit less...ah, what should I say. Impactful? Is that even a ruddy word? Taylor wins; Rating: 72 Tommy Cornell vs. Rocky Golden I am not ashamed to say I am disappointed by our lack of...of fire, I suppose. Rocky and I have done better than this. Perhaps it was the overbooking... The story was that we were to have a long, competitive match-as usual. When I was to almost be defeated, Wolf Hawkins would interfere, first by taking out Sam Sparrow, the referee. With no one to count the pin nor disqualify him, a Wolf's Call on Rocky would give me the victory. If Ray Johnson could get to the ring. As I was outside arguing at his slow, jaunty little walk, Rocky resumed battling me. Disregarding the ring, we both got counted out. Draw; Rating: 77 And then Rocky Golden beats me down. Rating: 76 Overall rating: 75. Popularity increase in 6 regions; decrease in 11.

I just nuked Deus Ex, I guess, but GAME DEV TYCOON FUFUUFUFUFUFUFUUFU To further affirm our poor start, both SWF and TCW-my major competitors-outdid me. Richard [Eisen] particularly so. But I have Champagne Lover. He will guide me. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Press Release: SOTBPW Signings!

That is, the start-up venture that is new talent. Instead of being satisfied with owning the world's greatest professional wrestler, Champagne Lover, Ibanez has decided to open a developmental territory to help train the youths that will, hopefully, populate the undercard for years to come. When asked for a quote, he said, "What, am I supposed to rely on other companies to do my training?" No, Mr. Ibanez. No you are not. The new company is called North of the South of the Border Pro Wre. Apparently billboards are smaller than previously anticipated. Obviously, this company opens in Northern Mexico. When asked if this was to spark a regional battle with the other two companies that currently are based in that region, he replied: "Oh. Well that is a happy coincidence." It debuts as the 9th-ranked company in the world. What the hell?</div></blockquote> Type out the acronym. TOTALLY UNINTENDED. I think I inhibited my ability to breathe.

<div style="text-align:center;">Richard Eisen</div>

On the back of an excellent show I can rest for...six days, yes. I get to think and relax. I am happy.

~~~

When I say "rest" I mean "I do not have to come into work in the morning." The previous show's formula having a satisfactory outcome means I did not need to come into work and worry about current plans for the future.

Now, however, I am awake. Time to do my job.

~~~

I've sacrificed Jack Bruce's popularity a bit, as well as Valiant's; Vengeance and Christian Faith, however, are unmoved. Eric took Valiant's popularity; James, obviously, took Bruce's. Almost. A successful match, in any case.

Jack needs to have the next week off in-ring, as I need his popularity to still be exceptional. Enforcer Roberts and, say, Eric Eisen would make a good tag team for this week; opponents are? Perhaps Gilmore and Lobster Warrior, yes. This is good progress. Now for the opener...

<div style="text-align:center;">Tommy Cornell</div> Both Wolf and Elliot gained a bit of popularity from last night, but that was it. No movement for the Hellfire Club. A poor showing overall. ~~~ <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Press Release: TCW Signings! KC Glenn, Written.</div></blockquote> That will make Joey happy... ~~~ With Glenn's addition, Wolf's storyline just grew much longer legs. Instead of fighting Elliot a few more times-exploiting their chemistry, yes-I shall test him against our newest roster addition. Sad for KC, yes, but pairing with Joey Minnesota is a bit out of his range. For now. As for me? I might have a dark match against Elliot to test my own mettle, (rather, as a bit of a feud Wolf and I have concerning our match receptions) but as for the actual show? I think a tag match with...against Rocky and...say...Benson. Unsure as to my partner at the moment.

With brand Rojo set to debut their 2013 look, it appears that Jorge Ibanez has his hands on the next great lucha libre tag team!

I am getting older, which means one day, one day I have to leave. But I see Powerful Man, I see a younger, more agile Strongman. I see the next evolution of Strongman. I see Campeon de Mundo." It looks like his partner has big plans for young Powerful Man, but with all the great athletes already in South of the Border Pro Wrestling, one has to wonder if those plans will ever come to fruition.</div></blockquote> And yes, I did just edit in that mentor/protege relationship right now.

Richard Eisen, SWF

I might do a little spiel on Sam's boys, but I haven't decided whether or not I'm hiring them yet.aka I need to sleep for tomorrow.

In the meantime...

Press Release:
SWF Signings!

American Elemental, Written (7 days).
Hell Monkey, Written (7 days).
Mainstream Hernandez, Written (7 days).
Silver Tiger, developmental (7 days).

I can't remember why I wanted Silver Tiger...maybe I was on an anti-OLLIE feeling that day.srsly, I forgot why. Maybe a news story promoting him as the next big blah blah blah?

<div style="text-align:center;">Richard Eisen, SWF</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="36576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>"The Keith Twins" I might as well note my thoughts now in case this ever comes up in a biography or some interview. The reason why I have not offered either of Sam Keith's twin sons (Greg Gauge and Matthew Keith, for reference) a written contract is that I feel they are the last of a dying breed. A breed that I killed, actually. Sam Keith is recognized as being a very successful world traveler. Japan, Mexico, Canada, and naturally, the United States. World Champion. Ten times, actually, and nearly hit three years as the top wrestler in the world (split by Yosuke Narita, who himself had been split by Keith. 1990-1993 flipped between them). He learned all sorts of styles as a result of his travels, leaving us with a supremely excellent wrestler. If a bit lacking in entertainment. (Snide reference to Sam Strong.) Greg's the son that wants to travel, while Keith...he's content staying in North America. Both of them, however, deserve to have something of their father's upbringing because both of them show signs of his prodigious talent. There's been an unofficial agreement between...near as I can gather, everyone, that Keith's kids are to be paid per appearance only. Until someone breaks it and we have a huge bidding war, that is. But let's see if they revolutionize the industry like...well, more than their father ever did.</div></blockquote>

Chucky Dorrance, Written. Ed Monton, Written. Joss Thompson, Written (7 days).</div></blockquote> Why did I hire these guys? Chucky has some decent skill for a twenty-year-old rookie. It is not as if the Power House is a terrible dojo, either. He'll make an okay heel counterpart to Thomas at the moment. Maybe Ricky can have some fun... As for Monton? He's a capable road agent who is a very positive backstage influence. And he has a son who I have put on my shortlist to watch. I might use him in the lower matches to give Robert a bit of a break. Thompson? I would say he ought to jump the pond as I did, but he's actually American. Odd. Aside from a bit of a selling issue, he's a clear midcard favourite (or...is there an antonym for the noun form of favourite?)
