SWF: Trial By Fire

Rayelek · November 20, 2013

Spring Break 2012 was pretty awesome for me. I went down with school and brought my younger brother with me. We were both huge wrestling fans so while most of my class hit the beaches and partied it up, Kevin and I took in a few lucha libre shows. Kevin was already training with TCW’s Joey Minnesota, even though he was only in high school, and I’d picked up a thing here and there that he brought home from his lessons. Our parents were doing pretty decent and had set up a few huge mats in a corner of our basement and we put a ladder against a wall in a corner to act as a turnbuckle. Before long, Kevin and I were working the smaller, local indies and getting some experience. But back to Spring Break, this was when we finally hit upon the idea that would get me to where I am today.

Kevin and I were at an OLLIE show debating what the initials actually stood for (I insist that it’s in Spanish and Kevin wouldn’t get it anyway) and we happened upon a vendor who was selling “authentic” lucha libre masks and costumes. Kevin took one look and shrugged, but I was enthralled. Naturally, we took a few pictures for facebook, which I still have (with Kevin’s sarcastic comments for each one). I think the first one made him laugh the most.

But I didn’t let Kevin get to me. He could be a jerk sometimes, but I knew his poking fun was in jest and that I’d give it back to him later. Besides, I’d set my eyes on the mask that would make my career.

Okay, Lucha SWF? I'm in.

Rayelek · November 20, 2013

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss39/Kamchatka863/SWF_alt3.jpg</div>

After working a few indy dates in the later part of the year, I saw on the internet that SWF had removed Peter Michaels from his booking position. I didn’t really get it, after the whole “Man Under Pressure” story, since that had been such a huge success, but whatever. I typed up a quick cover letter and resume, along with a collection of matches and shows that I’d booked on the indies and sent it Supreme’s way.

I got a call the next week to show up for an interview. Some of the guys that I saw waiting in that hallway with me…Well let’s just be glad I brought a notebook and pen to get autographs. Johnny Martin was there, along with Teddy Powell from PSW, Belle Bryden from USPW, Larry Wood was back from Japan…It was crowded and hectic. I struck up a conversation with Bob Casey, who I’d worked with on the indies and we made jokes about what some of these people would do if they actually got the job.

I was one of the last folks called, and I’m assuming they went based on likelihood that they could give someone the job and send everyone else home, based on the look I saw on the faces of the Eisens and Peter Michaels when I walked through the door. They looked exasperated, disappointed, you might say, and they were none too happy to see a scrawny 22 year old kid walk in. Richard was the first to speak, but I got the feeling this was just a formality.

Richard Eisen: “Look kid, we’re looking for someone to basically run this company. I see here that you put together a few indy shows that were well received and that you’re a wrestler, but do you really think you’re SWF material?”

I took a deep breath and paused, picking each word carefully. Richard Eisen’s temper was legendary and we’d heard a few four letter words chase people like Ash Campbell out the door.

Danny Glenn: “Misters Eisen, Mr. Michaels, I wouldn’t have applied for the job if I wasn’t absolutely confident that I could do it. I’ve been watching this programming since before Christian Faith won his first world title. I’ve seen what worked for you and what bombed horribly and –“

Jerry stood up angrily at that point, raising his voice.

Jerry Eisen: “And what? Just because the election storyline didn’t work, that doesn’t make it my fault! Who are you to come in here and bad mouth great men like Sam Keith and Peter here?”

Richard Eisen is the last one I would’ve expected to be the voice of reason here, but he put a hand on Jerry’s chest and Jerry seemed to relax a bit, sitting farther back in his chair.

Richard Eisen: “So if we gave you the job, say your first Pay-Per-View to book on your own was Awesome Impact 2013. No titles have changed hands. Give me a rundown of your card.”

I quickly pulled out my notebook and flipped through it to the booking plan I’d prepared at home right after I applied. It wasn’t specifically tailored to be Awesome Impact 2010, but it should work well enough with some tweaking on the fly.

Danny Glenn: Main event is easy. Steve Frehley defends the SWF World Title against Christian Faith and Vengeance. Faith is going to be able to pull the best matches against Steve, or probably anyone else on the roster, and Vengeance is there because you don’t want 2 good guys facing each other. The All Americans face off against The Platinum Blondes match for the tag belts, since Freddy and James are awesome at getting heat and can handle most of the promo work. Eric Eisen defends the North American title against Valiant. And then for non-title stuff, Jack Bruce faces Enforcer Roberts and Angry Gilmore takes on Marat Khoklov. The Amazing Bumfholes team up to face Remo and Rich Money back together again. And The Chase Agency face Lobster Warrior, Captain Atomic and Amer- no, Jungle Lord with the winning team getting shots at the North American and Tag Team Titles.

Peter had the first response, and that was no surprise since he was the previous booker. He knew how all of these would fit into what was already going on, and he knew what stuff bookers had to face.

Peter Michaels: “I noticed that you almost said American Machine to team with Atomic. I know a lot of people wanted Machine in the Hero Squad instead of teaming with Des Davids, did you have him down twice?”

Of course, Peter caught me. I’d written down American Machine’s name twice in my notebook, which wasn’t a huge deal if I was playing on Total Wrestling Revolution 2012, but in front of the most important man in wrestling, I’d screwed up big. So I scrambled to salvage it.

Danny Glenn: Not exactly. I did have American Machine down twice, but I think he fits better in the Tag Title match anyway. And not just because he’s one of the champions. Jungle Lord is also probably one of the best brawlers on the roster from his time in Japan and so he’d be good against Brandon James. It’s a nice piece to drop into that match, especially with his savagery against the class of the Agency.

Peter Michaels: “Who would be your ideal choice for that spot?”

That was a surprising question. The problem was that I started answering it before thinking and had to scramble to put the rest together on the fly.

Danny Glenn: “Well there’s these guys I saw down in Mexico. They’re called Tres Phoenix, and they all wear similar masks and wrestle three guys called The Swarm and-“

Thank goodness Richard cut me off there.

Richard Eisen: “We know about the Phoenix versus Swarm feud. Phoenix Two was in here earlier trying to sell it to me as the Main Event of the next Supreme Challenge.”

Instinctively I laughed and Jerry gave me a look that shut me up straight away. I think Richard saw it because he gave Jerry the most terrifying look I’ve ever seen.

Richard Eisen: “Believe me, it wasn’t the worst idea I had today. At least your ideas didn’t use anyone who wasn’t already on the roster. Now, let me tell you what we’re looking at. We've watched your tapes and we were planning on offering you at least a developmental deal today anyway.”

Richard slid a manila folder across the table. I opened it up and inside was a bunch of legal looking paperwork, but the first things I saw were the important phrases. “Active roster” and “One year contract”. I pulled out my pen, but Richard held up a hand to indicate for me to wait.

Richard Eisen: “Before you sign on the line, let me tell you what the plan is. For now, we’re going to sign you as a wrestler, basically to job on Supreme TV. We’ll ease you into booking slowly, but Peter has a few storylines that run until Nothing To Lose in February, and so he’s going to stay on. Plus he’s great at the desk. In the meantime, you two can work together setting up the shows, and you can run storylines with anyone who Peter isn’t using. How does that sound? It'll be kind of a umm...trial by fire.”

They say actions speak louder than words. I gave a resounding “Yes” with my signature on the line.

BornToFail · November 20, 2013

Looks good, I'm interested:)

Rayelek · November 20, 2013

The first show is about 60% written so far, and there'll be a prediction card probably later today. I've got a few storylines roughly booked until Supreme Challenge, so hopefully I'll keep playing & writing long enough for you guys to see them.

This is also my first game with TEW 2013 (I finally bought it, yay) so I will probably make a mistake or two...per show. But seriously, on with the show!

3rdStringPG · November 20, 2013

I always love me a good SWF dynasty. Hoping this one is as promising as it looks! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Midnite vs. Rich Money

- Boo, I wanted El Hotdog.

Marshall Dillon vs. "The Demon" Vengeance

- Country squash.

Tag Team Title #1 Contenders Match

The Amazing Bumfholes vs. The Pain Alliance

- All-Americans are faces, so I'd say the heels go over. Besides, what's not to love about Big Smack Scott? (Yeah, I used to hate him as much as Redwood or Peter Valentine, but having him play a large role in my diaries has made me a Smackamaniac! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> )

"The Disco Stud" Robbie Retro & The All Americans vs. Squeeky McClean & The Platinum Blondes

- Sorry, All Americans. Robbie Retro's presence means the heels are winning this.

Valiant vs. "Big Money" Brandon James

- Looks like a no-contest to me - Chase Agency and Jack Bruce probably running in towards the end.

Irish Wolf · November 20, 2013

Midnite vs. Rich Money

Money is a main eventer and your user character not so much.

Marshall Dillon vs. "The Demon" Vengeance

Yeaj no question here

Tag Team Title #1 Contenders Match

The Amazing Bumfholes vs. The Pain Alliance

Your tag champs are faces, personally I would have fired both of these locker room cancers.

"The Disco Stud" Robbie Retro & The All Americans vs. Squeeky McClean & The Platinum Blondes

Retro has ended up on my NBT list every game I've started an SWF game plsu tag champs need some momentum before the go against the challengers and they'll take a momentum loss for the loss even if Retro takes the pin.

Valiant vs. "Big Money" Brandon James

DQ when the rest of the Chase Agency gets involved

Rayelek · November 27, 2013

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss39/Kamchatka863/SWF_alt3.jpg

The Supreme Wrestling Federation has announced that, effective the first of the year in 2013, matches on Supreme TV will have time limits as follows:

Main Event: 25 Minute Time Limit

Sub Main Event: 20 Minute Time Limit

Other Matches: 10 Minute Time Limit

Title matches taking place on Supreme TV will see the time limit extended by 10 minutes. These limits are also variable in other special circumstances.

========================================================</div>

Show will hopefully be posted tonight yet, and if not, I'll finish it on Thanksgiving (Thursday). Writing out all of the promos is a lot more work than I thought it would be, so that will be reserved for PPVs from now on and future shows will have promos in summary form.

KnowYourEnemy · November 27, 2013

Midnite vs. Rich Money

As much as I'd like to see Parson lose, the safe money is on him.

Marshall Dillon vs. "The Demon" Vengeance

Of course, you could go the other way, and push both the avatar and Dillion as its easier to pay off stars early in the season and the SWF has plenty of money. Marshall has some elite stuff and can reach lower-midcarder/midcarder within six months.

Tag Team Title #1 Contenders Match

The Amazing Bumfholes vs. The Pain Alliance

The problem is that Zimmy and Randy are the better team -- but unless you change titles, Pain Alliance is likely to go over here.

"The Disco Stud" Robbie Retro & The All Americans vs. Squeeky McClean & The Platinum Blondes

I'm betting the Tag Titles get play in Week 2, and these guys don't make the PPV. The bigger question is if the Blondes break up within a few weeks so Flex can fly solo.

Valiant vs. "Big Money" Brandon James

I gotta agree with DQ

I have an SWF thread up too, so it can be a bit daunting at first if you aren't getting enough heat. Guessing heels and faces play a big role?

And I’ve seen you around here for about as long as I can remember. My gray hairs might lead you to believe that that’s not saying much, but let me tell you, I know you. You’re young. You’re hungry. You’re the destructive force you claim to be in every sense of the word. Some day, you will be a World Champion. But at When Hell Freezes Over, it’s time for the Iron Man to ride once again. Remo: Faith, it don’t matter to Remo whose time it is. I may not have ever been World Champion, but next Thursday, I’m stepping up. And if you wanna step up, I’m in the ring right now. <div style="text-align:center;">Faith shakes his head and stares down to the ring.</div> Christian Faith: Now isn’t the time. But at When Hell Freezes Over, if you think it’s your time to step up, try me. <div style="text-align:center;">Remo fumes in the ring and begins shouting at Faith over the top rope as Faith walks back to the locker room.

Not seen as often since Rogue no longer needed her services, Dawn’s chipper skipping down the hallway comes off as a little careless, especially when she incidentally bumps into the sharply dressed shoulder of Emma Chase. Chase turns sharply, her high heel clacking on the ground.</div> Emma Chase: Watch where you’re going you-…Oh, it’s you, Dawn. I’ve barely seen you since Jack…I’m sorry, Rogue chose my services over yours. And you, well…You haven’t had a client for the past year and a half. I’m not sure how you still have a job here, Dawn. Well, I always knew you could talk, but I didn’t know you were this gifted with your mouth. <div style="text-align:center;">A furious Dawn nearly slaps Emma, but holds herself back, her arm tensed up after raising slightly. Emma smirks, knowing that Dawn wouldn’t dare. Dawn the Cheerleader: I’ll have you know, Emma, that I’ve been doing some very important work for the company. And you’ll be seeing a lot more of me soon. I’ve got a new client and he’ll be debuting at When Hell Freezes Over, and he’s better than anyone you’ve got in your little Agency. Emma Chase: Oh, please, Dawn. I don’t know how you could get anyone good to take you on as a manager. It’s probably just some loser. And on the chance that you’ve struck gold and gotten anyone good, well, I’ll just have to steal them away again. Just like Rogue. <div style="text-align:center;">And with that comment, Dawn snaps and shoves Emma to the floor. Shocked, Emma stares up at Dawn, as her expression of disbelief morphs into one of fury.

I’ll knock out all three of them out at once if I have to. Because I’m the champ. And that means that that ring out there? That’s my yard.

This left it with the tag champs against the Blondes and following a huge Spinebuster from American Machine, Frederique Garcia was speared out of his boots by Des Davids for the deciding fall.

Timing it carefully, the Chase Agency slides out of the ring as Bruce slides in and, with no one to swing the chair at, checks on Valiant, who seems to be quite hurt. Bruce quickly signals for medical staff to hit the ring and the show goes off the air with Bruce shouting at The Chase Agency over the ring rope as they back up the ramp.</div></blockquote></div></div></blockquote>

As for the Awesomeness, that shocked me too, as I just threw the match on the pre-show to build tag experience with no RA notes. I guess there might be something special in line for Huey and Jefferson. Show grades will be up tomorrow, I have a backstage segment for owner goals to write, gotta run the next show in game, and then the prediction card will be posted, and you guys can predict while I write the show. I have a prediction contest in mind to run through Supreme Challenge, but it'll probably just be for PPVs to keep the work I need to do down.

After my first show, the big boss called me into his office. I’d already showered after my debut and was dressed in streets, so it was pretty quick just to walk over to Mr. Eisen’s makeshift office in the arena and knock on the door. A hearty “Come in!” answered my knock and I opened the door to find Peter Michaels and Richard Eisen sitting there waiting for me.

Richard Eisen: Alright, kid, not a bad first show. Now there are a few things I’d like to go over with you. First off, here are your grades for the show. I’ll be going over them, and using that TEW.com site’s system for rating you. So far, this was good, but we can get better. Nothing against you, of course. Second, this is my company so I’ve got some things for you to work on. First, I want to grow this company into the best in the world. So I want us to never go in debt and to grow in size. If you can’t do that, you’re not going to book my company. If we’re mired in scandal, we’re not going to grow in size, so avoid people with problems with the law. And no MMA guys either, I don’t want to dip into that market and deal with that extra competition.

Midnite: Sounds good, Mr. Eisen. Is there anything else?

Richard Eisen: Yeah, another thing. Don’t bury Eric. I know you’ve gone over your plans for him with Peter, but I don’t want him to get lost in the shuffle; keep him strong. And push Paul Huntingdon. We made that character for him and he’s doing a fantastic job. I want people to see what happens when you’re a home-grown SWF talent. You can work that into your plans, right?

Midnite: Sure thing, Mr. Eisen. And I’m sure Mr. Michaels can help me with any questions, right?

Peter Michaels: Of course, kid. Now I think that’s all we got, I’ve gotta talk to Rich about s’more stuff so go ahead and run along.

Well, that could’ve gone a lot worse. I left the office and went back to the metaphorical drawing board (the laptop I bought with my signing bonus) and started running through scenarios for Huntingdon and Eisen. This shouldn’t be this hard, should it?

Actual Owner Goals

*SWF cannot fall into debt at any point. (28 months, Critical Importance)

*SWF must have risen to at least International Size. (24 months, Critical Importance)

*Eric Eisen must be kept above 71 popularity. (16 months, High Importance)

*Paul Huntingdon must have reached at least 71 popularity in American when the time expires. (24 months, High Importance)

*You can’t hire anyone classed as an MMA Crossover. (32 months, Average Importance)

*You cannot hire or extend the contract of anyone known to have problems with the law. (16 months, Average Importance)

Just want to mention that this isn't dead. I'm just working 60 hour weeks for the holidays so writing is way on the back burner. Hoping to have the 2nd show up by Xmas.
