SWF 2014: A Young Lion's Second Year in the Den (Three-Way Brand Split)

[3rdStringPG]

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

- We've got one more week in January remaining, and for once, it looks like I'm behind the real-life calendar. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Here's how everyone stands in the prediction game! Got a close battle between <strong>flaviooooo</strong> and <strong>TheAwesomeBatman101</strong>, though Batman's going to have to predict the last three cards in order to qualify for the monthly prize! (Reducing the qualifying number of cards from 9 out of 13 to 8 out of 13.) Once again, that's choosing one worker (either a previous High Stakes rookie not named Alan Parent or a new hire aged 30 or younger) for the next High Stakes season.</p><p> </p><p>

1. flavioooo - 51/61, <strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">84%</span></strong> (+3/5, 4/5, 8/10)</p><p>

TheAwesomeBatman101 - 34/41, <strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">83%</span></strong></p><p>

2. kieranforthewin - 42/53, <strong><span style="color:#2E8B57;">79%</span></strong></p><p>

w4lru5 - 23/32, <strong><span style="color:#006400;">72%</span></strong></p><p>

3. Psycho Sam - 50/73, <strong><span style="color:#FFFF00;">68%</span></strong> (+3/5, 4/5, 8/10)</p><p>

4. KnowYourEnemy - 34/53, <strong><span style="color:#FFA500;">64%</span></strong> (+1/5, 2/5, 7/10)</p><p>

5. Midnightnick - 45/73, <strong><span style="color:#FFA500;">62%</span></strong> (+1/5, 4/5, 6/10)</p><p> </p><p>

- Kind of a low-scoring week, but the next week's cards, I think, should be a bit easier to predict. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Looks like Des Davids threw everyone off in Supreme - yes, 2014 should be a big year for "Prime Time", but I'm also planning to give Josh Taylor a bit of a bigger push.</p><p>

- Also the schmozz at the end of Elite; nobody got that. Then again, it's all part of the ongoing Brandon James face turn, which started when he beat Nicky Champion cleanly at When Hell Freezes Over, and even got angry at Peter Michaels for his blatant ass-kissing commentary.</p><p>

- Well, what do you know. After noting that I hadn't included Acid, Zeus Maximillion and Jason (Bully) Benrubi on Uprising Presents - DaVE yet, they all made their first appearances on the last show.</p><p>

- Sorry, flaviooooo, but even with all those squashes, BB Colossus is still stuck at 24/25 popularity, hardly up from 21/22 when I just called him up from developmental.</p>

[3rdStringPG]

<p><strong>OOC</strong> - And now...it's time to get those predictions in for the final week of January! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The rosters posts have been updated with corresponding turns and call-ups, by the way.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

[Big Roguey]

Finally, I've found the third Coffey brother! After Joe and Mark, we have Hilo!

 

(For those who think I've a raving lunatic, Joe Coffey and Mark Coffey are two sterling workers from Scotland who 1) make me fear everything they do and 2) kick all kinds of ass in the ring).

[flaviooooo]

- Sorry, flaviooooo, but even with all those squashes, BB Colossus is still stuck at 24/25 popularity, hardly up from 21/22 when I just called him up from developmental.

 

 

The time is ripe for him to start squashing some main eventers then

<p><strong>OOC</strong> - Not sure about the timeline for the next set of shows, but it should be up soon. In the meantime, predictions are still welcome! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Monday, January 27, 2014</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>

Detour 691 - a rock club in Lincoln, Nebraska, after Uprising taping</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>

12:30 a.m.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/CameronVesseyalt_zpsccca34c0.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"It's an Eric Eisen locker room, KP." Cameron Vessey sounded especially despondent as he took a sip of his beer. PsyGarJob's last gig, which took place at this here bar, went down like a lead Goodyear Blimp. While everyone was present - Remmy, Ronnie, myself, Ash and Cam - our lack of practice and the general apathy of the crowd made this gig a bad one. To quote one of the rowdy drunks who was booing us off the stage a couple hours ago, "Go count some lights, ya lousy jobbers!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Lousy jobbers. That's pretty much the same category I was in. No matter how often Eric Eisen told me he'd be building me up for stardom, I knew that was not going to happen, at least not yet. I wasn't particularly known for workrate, and I got few opportunities to showcase my strengths - mic skills. My expectations were tempered. Cam's expectations, unfortunately, were a bit higher than mine were. No, make that much higher. As Larry's son and Bryan's nephew, Cam had a lot to live up to. The SWF was looking to sign Jay Chord in the spring, and already had some great plans for his character. Jay Chord was on fire. Cam Vessey? This second-generation stud was looking more and more like a dud, even with the mild push he and Casey Valentine got as part of the Eisen Entourage vs Grizzled Vets storyline. Earlier in the day, Cam read a dirt sheet article (by the controversial and polarizing Glenn Cross) that talked about the Entourage stable's members being dead weight and examples of young SWF Superstars too eager to get pushed and too unwilling to listen to "quality veterans and mentors like Eric Eisen, Vengeance, Ricky Dale Johnson and Christian Faith." Okay, I get the inclusion of the last three, but ERIC EISEN, a quality veteran and mentor?</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Bottom line - Cam was down in the dumps. Dirt sheets thrashed him, gig went down poorly, father chewed him out over the phone when he called after our performance. It was not a very good day for Cameron Lawrence Vessey.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"You heard me, KP? The longer Eric Eisen runs the f---ing Elite locker room while havin' his ass-kissers run Supreme and DaVE, the longer we're gonna get kept down. And that piece of shit Glenn Cross has to defend his good friend Eric and accuse us of bein' the ones with locker room heat? We don't have any goddamn f---in' heat! And you know that!" I hadn't seen Cam this angry, not since Big Smack Scott thrashed his rental car in the spring of 2013. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Pipe down, Cam," said Spencer Spade, who was, to be fair to him, trying to keep peace and prevent Cam from totally going apeshit. Huntingdon and Lopez are here, they might hear you..."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Do I give a f---?", yelled Cam, standing up and suddenly channeling the gone-but-not-forgotten (but not missed either) Scott Sinclair. "I shoulda figured you'd try to be the voice of reason once again, Spencer. One month removed from the brand split and you're now free to kiss everyone's ass and remind everyone about what a big deal you were when you dropped out of college to attend Supreme University! Yeah, we know you're Uncle Phil's protege. So STOP REMINDING US ABOUT IT!" Cam was slurring his words and totally out of line now.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

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

And Spencer kept trying to get Cam to chill out. "Get a hold of yourself, buddy!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

BOOM! Down went Spencer Spade as Cam Vessey clocked him with a hard, powerful right hook. After one year of tightness and friction-free existence, the 2013 Rookies backstage faction, if you may, was suddenly threatening to splinter apart.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"C'MON, SPADE! WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU, CAN'T SHOOT LIKE A VESSEY COULD SHOOT?!?!? GET UP, PUSSY!!! I ain't done teachin' you about speakin' to Cageside Report!" Glenn Cross did cite some sources, including an unnamed worker rising up in the ranks who said that Cam was one of those guys who wasn't "giving a hundred percent effort." Spencer's tag team with Squeeky McClean was called 100% Pure. They were repackaged from generic heels/former Rich Money associates and given an actual gimmick - self-righteous straight-edgers. But that wasn't enough evidence to pin Spencer down as the guy who spoke to Cross.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/LennyBrownalt_zps7ed18200.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

But the most shocking comment of the evening came from Lenny Brown, Spencer's good friend since their Supreme University days and another one of "Uncle Phil" Enforcer Roberts' top graduates.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Cam may be drunk, but he's right, Spencer. Tryin' to sell Cam down the river like that...what kind of a friend are you, Spence? You end up on a different brand than we do, and you turn around and shoot off to the dirt sheets? I can't believe you'd do that, man!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Oh, those dirt sheets. Can't keep your eyes off them, but can't stand the fact that some of them exist either. And now it seemed like it was time to choose sides.</span></p>

[Psycho Sam]

Why do I want the diary to somehow split into two paths, depending on whether KP follows with Spencer Spade or Lenny Brown. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> It opens up a whole realm of possibilities. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Why do I want the diary to somehow split into two paths, depending on whether KP follows with Spencer Spade or Lenny Brown. It opens up a whole realm of possibilities.

 

I was a big Choose Your Own Adventure fan while growing up, but I probably won't go that route. Just not enough time...

 

Anyway, Supreme TV's up, and I hope to have the other shows to follow within the week!

Fry - And we are LIVE from the Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, Arkansas! I'm Duane Fry, and thankfully, I've got the lovely Ana Garcia sitting to my left, but to my right, I've got Marvin Earnest, whom I cannot seem to agree with more than one month after the debut of this announce team.

 

Earnest - Not my problem, Duane! (imitating Fry in an especially geeky-sounding voice) This is going to be a BARNSTORMER!

 

Fry - Quit it, Marv!

 

A. Garcia - Tonight promises to offer barnstormers left and right, to quote Duane, and tonight's main event will feature Valiant vs Steve Frehley, in what should determine the final spot in the Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match! Not to mention, the number one contender for Jack Bruce's World Heavyweight Title.

 

Earnest - Whoever wins gets to face Bruce at Nothing to Lose, and whoever loses...gets to fight for the Blue Briefcase and the contract therein. I don't usually like win-win situations, but that's one time I'm willing to make an exception!

 

Fry - And here's one man who makes a LOT of exceptions...provided they're made for Drew Hawkins. Or anyone else in the New Money Army, I guess? We've got the Supreme GM, Mr. Rip Chord, back from his recent health scare but not a single step slower.

Chord - YEHHHHHHHH!!!!! I've been gone for a week, and here I am tonight in Fayetteville, in front of the SWF Galaxy, jacked up and forever grateful that your support has helped me recover faster than anyone could have expected!

 

Chord pauses as the crowd "serenades" him with jeers of "DRUN-KARD!!!!", while the camera focuses on a fan sign that reads "RIP CHORD OWES ME BEER MONEY!" Marvin Earnest chides the rowdy fans for showing no respect for the Supreme General Manager.

 

Chord - Drunkard, huh? (pauses) Well, the only thing I am drunk on these days, SWF Galaxy, is knowledge and foresight. Wanna know what I've been up to since I've quit drinkin'? I've gone back to school and gotten an associate degree in business. I've read all the required literature for every good company leader. I became Supreme GM because my boss, the Chairman, Mr. Eisen, knows that I've done more than any current or former SWF Superstar to expand his horizons and become a forward-thinking individual! YEHHHHHHH!!!!!! (pauses as the crowd expresses their dissent by booing) Looks like we've got a partisan Tom Gilmore crowd here tonight... (pauses as jeers of "YOU SCREWED TOM!!!" replace the boos) ...and you'll be glad to know that he's part of the Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match with Remo, Bryan Vessey and Drew Hawkins. To be perfectly honest, I was disappointed that my deputy Barry Bowen decided to reward the losers in the Number One Conender qualifiers by puttin' them in the Ladder Match, but what's done is done. Now regarding Tom Gilmore, I'm sure you would like to hear my side of things. Well, lemme tell you a story of when I was growin' up in Port Arthur, Texas in the early '60s...one that I can remember to this day.

 

 

That's right, it was about 52 years ago, I was in seventh grade back then. Young Frederick Ripperton Chord was far from bein' the best student, but he was always fightin' for the rights of the underdog...like our eventual high school valedictorian. Kids picked on him, man, and that Friday afternoon, it was only a matter of time before those ill-tempered bullies would corner him and give him hell. And they did. They kept beatin' down on poor Donnie until he was cryin', waitin' for someone to get those dumb troublemakers outta there. And that someone...was me. I saw the bullies aimin' for Donnie's head, and had I not acted as quickly as I did, God knows what woulda happened. At When Hell Freezes Over, I had seen those bullies once again in Tom Gilmore, and damned if one of those bullies wasn't named Tom himself. The future valedictorian was replaced by a rock musician and a World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Bruce, and I knew I had to stop Tom before he did something he was gonna regret. (pauses, seemingly close to shedding crocodile tears as the crowd boos) I did what I had to do because I CARED FOR JACK BRUCE AS A HUMAN BEING, and while I have nothin' but the utmost respect for Tom Gilmore's skills in the ring...his temper has always been his worst enemy. Back there, he was a man who didn't know how much havoc he could wreak. (hangs his head) Tom, I'm sorry I had to do that.

 

The crowd, still unconvinced by Chord's histronics, continues yelling "DRUN-KARD!!!!" and "YOU SCREWED TOM!!!" as he leaves the ring to return to his office. All along, we can see him looking behind his shoulder, half-expecting that the (kayfabe) injured Tom Gilmore might pop out of nowhere and lay a beatdown on him, but that doesn't happen.

Back after the commercial break, Rip Chord is in his office, looking very stressed. Barry Bowen opens the door to the office, and immediately Chord chews him out and shows his true colors - he criticizes Bowen for "rewarding the losers" and questions him for letting a "crazed maniac" like Gilmore and a "chronic underachiever" like Remo take part in the Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match. Bowen tries to appease Chord by saying he's booked Des Davids and Squeeky McClean in a qualifier for the NTL Ladder Match, but Chord calls them a pair of "nobodies who aren't ready yet." Chord then asks Bowen about whether he's fired Randy Bumfhole yet as he continues to no-show Supreme TV. Bowen says that he sent Bumfhole his termination papers, but they were returned to sender. Chord sends Bowen out to think about how he screwed up the previous week's Supreme TV, and continues fretting behind his desk.

Looks like American Machine's strictly doing job duty now following his participation in the Davids vs Frehley feud. He gets an attempt at the Old Glory blocked, and as A-Mach misses on a clothesline, Drew Hawkins takes advantage of the opening to blast his foe with the Full Moon Rising as he picks up the pin and the win.

 

WINNER - Hawkins in 3:37

 

Frederique Antonio Garcia (w/James Prudence) vs Paul Hunt (w/LC)

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Gradez/56_zps23c96ac4.jpg

 

This marks the re-debut of Paul Huntingdon, now known as Paul Hunt, and the first appearance of ex-TCW valet Laura Catherine Huggins, now known simply as "LC." Hunt showcases a more brawl-oriented attack against Freddy Garcia, and instead of the High Society, he opts for a Fisherman DDT variation which he apparently calls the Sledgehammer, making it two glorified squashes for the night.

 

WINNER - Hunt in 4:24

 

ANGLE - Davids Refuses 100% Pure Alliance

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Gradez/63_zps772624a0.jpg

 

Backstage, Squeeky McClean, Spencer Spade and Richie Pangrazzio Jr. spot Des Davids getting ready for his upcoming qualifier for the Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match. They try to make conversation with Davids, bringing up their shared past as part of Rich Money's old Almighty Dollar faction, but Davids, who's now referred to as "Prime Time", wants none of it. McClean and Spade take turns asking Davids if he smokes (he says he can't stand the stuff) and if he smoked joints or took performance-enhancing drugs like most college football players would do - Davids says he always stayed clear from any sort of drugs. Pangrazzio then asks Davids if he drinks, to which he replies in the affirmative.

 

McClean - Your admission of enjoying a shot or a beer or a shot AND a beer is all I need to defeat you tonight, Des. You're not pure, Desmond, and that alcohol that must be in your bloodstream is gonna work against you in that ring tonight...

 

Davids - Look here, Squeek, why don't you just shut the hell up and take your proselytizing elsewhere? You ain't my mom to tell me what to do and what not to do, so enough with the Almighty Dollar reminiscin', enough with tellin' me how to live my life.

 

Spade - But we care for you, Des, being a former associate and all...

 

Davids - What part of "enough with the Almighty Dollar reminiscin'" do you not understand, Spencer?

 

Davids, obviously irked by 100% Pure and RPJ's needling, shoves Spade, and McClean threatens to attack him until Pangrazzio holds him back, telling him to save his energy for tonight's match.

 

Des Davids (w/American Machine) vs Squeeky McClean (w/Richie Pangrazzio Jr. and Spencer Spade) - Qualifier for Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Gradez/68_zps642fa6e5.jpg

 

This serves as a battle of rising vs falling stars, and while Squeeky McClean still goes over lower-card guys, he seems to be settling into a gatekeeper role for the most part. For this match, though, Des Davids and McClean keep things open, and things get tense enough for the action to spill outside, where Spencer Spade and Richie Pangrazzio Jr. (and even American Machine) interfere until Jez McArthuer tells everyone to cut it out or risk getting their side DQ'd. This swings things back in Davids' favor, but after McClean kicks out of a vertical suplex, he gets some offense in once again. Davids wins the match by slipping out of the Clean Out before it could even happen, and using the element of surprise to pin McClean with a Quarterback Sack.

WINNER - Davids in 9:29. Des Davids to join Bryan Vessey, Tom Gilmore, Remo and Drew Hawkins in in Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match (one slot remaining).

Rip Chord and Drew Hawkins are in the office, and the latter is treated like royalty, albeit quite subtly; the two men are as close as you can get to father and son as they talk about the Nothing to Lose Ladder Match. Hawkins tells Chord that yes, he's willing to cash in on Jack Bruce should he win, and that they've both talked about how business shouldn't get in the way of friendship when it comes to cashing in. Bryan Vessey then walks in, and when asked the same question, he tells Chord that yes, he'll cash in on Bruce if he has to (and if he wins), and retire his North American belt if given a shot at the World champ. He also says that everything's cool between him and Bruce.

 

With Chord confident that Hawkins and Vessey are worthy entries to the Ladder Match, he lays down the booking plans for the coming week. Chord says that Vessey will get his North American title defense against Joshua Taylor on the next Supreme TV, while Hawkins will face Remo in the FINAL qualifier for the NTL Ladder Match; as usual, Chord says he's not happy with the effort The Alpha Dog is putting in. If Remo wins, he becomes the sixth and final entry. If not, then he's going to make the match into a five-man competition (Gilmore, Davids, Vessey, Hawkins, loser of Frehley vs Valiant), or a four-man, if Gilmore isn't cleared by doctors to return by then.

Steve Frehley is now in the ring with his 'Hood cohorts Primus Allen, Kurt Laramee and Karl Thompson flanking him, and he has some things to say about Tom "Angry" Gilmore and why he was chosen as The 'Hood's latest target. According to Frehley, he hates Gilmore for more than just Jack Bruce's insecure reasons about him being the "Darling of the Dirt Sheets." Frehley says Gilmore is an example of a man who's been groomed for greatness because of his race, while he and his fellow African-American wrestlers have to work to get noticed, or, in Frehley's case, "be a nice, subservient Uncle Tom to people like Christian Faith." Frehley says that he's here to cover the bases Bruce didn't cover, and he brings up the level of competition Gilmore had faced in his rise to the top of the card...

 

Frehley - They been stickin' you against jabronis like Jimmy Prudence...Franklin Huggins...that fellow Canadian white trash of yours Marc DuBois...they stick you against Kurt's former friend and partner Big Smack Scott...and who do they have me fight? Who do the modern-day plantation owners of the SWF make me face? Remo. Rich Money. Brandon James. Hell, they even made me face the Cream of the Crop Jack Bruce so many times last year, but at the end o' the day, I OWNED THAT LI'L S---.

 

Fry (from announce table) - No you didn't, Steve. Jack Bruce beat you at Welcome to the Jungle for...

 

Frehley (to Fry) - SHUT UP!!!! (resuming his tirade) For so many years I had to go through hell and back in this ring, while you've had it easy. And that, Gilmore, makes you a product of your entitlement. But we ain't through with you, Gilmore...remember your little buddy Darryl Devine? Well, lemme tell you something...my homies beat that piece of s--- up real good before the show. First, he sticks his nose in my business with Davids. Then he brings up your friendship and calls us out on it. You two ain't nothin' but trailer-trash mothersuckers from the North who never had ta' suffer like I did growin' up in Compton with little to eat and a lot to fight...in East L.A. with them esses givin' me s--- from day one. I took you out, Gilmore, and earlier today, I made sure to leave somethin' for that punk-ass Devine. Y'all ain't s---, Tom Gilmore. And neither are you, Valiant, 'cause I'm gonna sic that Comet on 'ya tonight, so hard that y'all gonna wish you were the jingoistic sap you were before the System pushed 'ya to the top. (pauses) Y'ALL AIN'T S---!!!!

As Frehley and his thugs return to the locker room, the announcers talk the fans through this next video package, where Darryl Devine, rather foolishly, asks Kurt Laramee quite angrily where Frehley is, because he wants to know why he had Gilmore beaten up on the last Supreme TV. This prompts a 3-on-1 beatdown, as The 'Hood - Laramee, Thompson and Allen - goes all Pearl Harbor on the rising star, leaving the announcers to wonder whether "Devine would be fine."

 

A. Garcia - First, Tom Gilmore, now Darryl Devine. What does Steve Frehley have against those two?

 

Earnest - He hates Gilmore for the same reasons Jack Bruce does - because he's been riding the coattails of his dirt sheet fame a little too much.

 

Fry - No, he doesn't, Marv! He hates Gilmore for the rather illogical reason that he's gotten ahead and had it easy because of his race! So many months since he was pulling that stuff with Christian Faith and he still sees things the same way....creating a problem where there shouldn't be any.

 

Earnest - And, if I may interrupt Small Fry here, Steve Frehley hates Darryl Devine because he's an idiot. Of course he's gonna get walloped by The 'Hood for his stupidity!

 

A. Garcia - I can't see how you condone all this, Marv, because Steve Frehley is a loose cannon with dated rhetoric, and I bet Rip Chord isn't doing anything to discipline this punk because Frehley's boys did a number on Tom Gilmore on last week's Supreme TV!

 

Fry - I don't think Steve and Rip get along as famously as you think, but I agree with you there. Steve Frehley needs serious punishment, and he needs to take a chill pill. Too much anger.

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Gradez/67_zpsa0bcb1c3.jpg

 

Duane Fry predicts that this match would see the 24/7 Partay Dudez playing the numbers game, and he's right - Mainstream and Stevie rely heavily on Calum and J-Sense's distractions and interference to outwit the fast and exciting team of Fox Mask and Masked Cougar. But even with the so-called "Partay Dudez USA" B-team doing their bidding, Mainstream and Stevie pull off a lot of shenanigans on their own, including one where Calum argues with referee Darren Smith and J-Sense runs in to bash Masked Cougar with the Foreign Object of Desire. The two then dance outside the ring as Smith, none the wiser, counts to three and awards the Dudez the win.

 

WINNER - 24/7 Partay Dudez in 7:15

Remo is backstage, in a foul mood after Rip Chord's announcement that he has to qualify again for the Nothing to Lose Ladder Match against Drew Hawkins next week on Supreme TV. Unfortunately, he bumps into Hawkins before he could make his way to Chord's office, presumably to assault the corrupt GM.

 

Hawkins - Goin' somewhere, Alpha Slug?

 

Remo - If it isn't Rip Chord's favorite foster child Drew Hawkins. You know I can beat you in that ring next week, right? Done it when we were qualifyin' for the Battle of the Brands, and if I have to prove myself to Rip Chord again, I won't be that merciful...as if I even showed 'ya mercy last time.

 

Hawkins - For someone who supposedly can't speak, you sure talk a lot, Remo. But can you fight the New Money Army by yourself? (winks his eye, then snaps his fingers) Rip Chord knows who's butterin' his bread...

 

This brings Jack Bruce (dressed in street clothes and apparently back from a press conference for the Jack Bruce Band) and Bryan Vessey over, and pretty soon it's a 3-on-1 assault from NMA Blue to Remo! But while Tom Gilmore isn't around to make the cavalry save, Valiant is, and he lays a beatdown on Vessey that serves as revenge of sorts for their match at When Hell Freezes Over! Joshua Taylor then attacks Vessey as Valiant's attention focuses on Bruce, and the assault on Bruce is so brutal his silk shirt is nearly ripped off at the end of the donnybrook. Neither face nor heel side emerges with the upper hand, as Barry Bowen's booming "HEY!!!!" sends NMA Blue scurrying away and the three babyfaces slowed down, but still in very good shape.

 

James Prudence (w/Frederique Antonio Garcia) vs Bryan Vessey (w/Drew Hawkins) - non-title match

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/Gradez/82_zpsa30f5a70.jpg

 

This next match, as the announcers note, is Bryan Vessey's tune-up for his North American defense against Josh Taylor next week, and he has nothing but contempt for James Prudence, whom he slows down with rest holds, punches, kicks, and finally a painful-looking shoulderbreaker at the 3:20 mark or so. Prudence kicks out of that, and his resilience is the prevailing theme in that match; he even gets some offense in, popping the crowd with a missile dropkick on Vessey at around 7:50. He, however, fails to capitalize, as Vessey rolls away and starts one of his many comebacks in the match.

 

Still, Prudence refuses to be shut out just like that, and he gets to twist Vessey up in the Prudential Pain Plan at 13:30, until Squeeky McClean (as part of the 100% Pure vs Platinum Blondes feud) appears at ringside, making "glug-glug-glug" gestures and throwing him off his focus! McClean runs back to the locker room as Prudence gives chase, and he's nearly counted out as a result. This, however, swings the momentum back to Vessey, who slips out of a hip toss attempt, mows Prudence down with a clothesline, then has him submitting to the Furusawa Arm Bar. Quite an entertaining match considering how low Prudence is on the card compared to Vessey.

 

WINNER - Vessey in 16:43.

Backstage, Lisa Bowen appears to be consoling her on-screen boyfriend Edd Stone, as he looks unhappy that The Can-Am Animals weren't booked to appear on tonight's Supreme TV. As Bowen tells Stone that "you've got High Stakes on Thursday, and Swoop is killing it!", Edward Cornell interrupts the two lovebirds, accusing Bowen of not leveraging the fact that she's Barry Bowen's daughter in order to give the Can-Ams a match on Supreme TV. And in this controversial bit of TV...

 

Cornell - That's the problem with you lady managers. You've never been in the ring like we have!

 

L. Bowen - I'll have you know my dad's been training me! Now what can you do for Edd and Frank that I already haven't been doing? I already told you that Dad's under a lot of pressure from Rip.

 

Cornell - Bollocks to that, Leeser! (pauses) Your dad is a former SWF World Heavyweight Champ. Edd's dad and brothers are multi-titled wrestlers up there in Canader, and Frank's dad is a prominent New York businessman. But my cousin...MY COUSIN...he owns the freakin' competition. They don't call me Edward "The Business" Cornell for nothin'. (emphasizing the word "I") And I...can make these two boys, especially your boyfriend and my namesake, into bigger stars.

Jack Bruce is joining Duane, Marv and Ana for this last match, and he appears to be looking every bit the egotistical rock star, as he calls the match shirtless due to his shirt having been ripped off in the earlier locker room brawl. He says he's glad that he'll be facing someone other than Tom Gilmore at Nothing to Lose for the World title, but choosing between Steve Frehley and Valiant is like choosing between a rock and a hard place - Bruce thinks Frehley's too one-dimensional as he's purely a brawler, and he thinks watching Valiant is a tad less exciting than watching paint dry, even with his more aggressive, less patriot-caricature approach following his breakup with Hannah. As for this match, it's quite even in the first half, but it sure could use a bit of selling, as Frehley doesn't do much favors by standing up immediately after a spinebuster from Valiant at 8:30.

 

With Valiant caught off-guard by Frehley's no-sell, the Dark Destroyer takes control with a Launching Pad Suplex, and he continues dominating until the thirteenth minute, where he goes for a Frehley Suplex Throw, followed by a pumphandle backbreaker and finally the Frehley's Comet! "No way Valiant's gonna kick outta this one," says Duane Fry. Yet he does, and that's got the Fayetteville crowd going bananas! Frehley reacts by powerbombing Darren Smith (Bruce says that's not going to impress him at all), and is about to punish Valiant with a steel chair when...

...the injured Tom Gilmore hobbles in from the locker room and, mustering all his strength, blasts Frehley with the Anger Management! He then makes sure none of The 'Hood members interfere by laying each of them out at ringside - Anger Management for everyone! The crowd is going absolutely nuts, and Marvin Earnest is demanding a disqualification, but Gilmore quickly returns to the locker room with both men out and trying to recover. At around 16:30, Jez McArthuer runs in to replace Smith, and at this point we're seeing Valiant and Frehley back on their feet and trading blows. Frehley sneaks in a low blow with Jez Mac's back turned, but Valiant dodges it, and evades what looks to be a suplex attempt; that's enough to set up the V-Split, which wins the match for Valiant and sets up Jack Bruce vs Valiant at Nothing to Lose, for the World Heavyweight Title.

 

WINNER - Valiant in 18:02. Valiant to face Jack Bruce for the World Heavyweight Title at Nothing to Lose. Steve Frehley to join Bryan Vessey, Tom Gilmore, Drew Hawkins and Des Davids in Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match. (one slot remaining?)

 

POST-SHOW COMMENTS:

 

Earnest - Talk about travesties of justice! Why the hell did it take Jez McArthuer forever to replace Darren Smith? I smell conspiracy here.

 

Fry (as he watches Bruce and Valiant stare each other down) - Taking stock of things, Frehley assaulted a referee, Gilmore ran in to attack Frehley. Tit for tat. Neither man was a saint out there, but you have to admit Gilmore saved Valiant from even bigger trouble at the hands of The 'Hood, and...

 

Earnest - ...and you're saying two wrongs make a right, Small Fry.

 

Fry - All I'm saying is that despite the wild ending and all, we had one helluva BARNSTORMER in Valiant vs Frehley, and I am glad that Valiant's got this chance to prove he can hang with the big boys! He's been waiting for this quite a while...

 

A. Garcia - And if you can see Jack Bruce right now, he seems concerned. Very concerned. He knows that Valiant is every bit the breakout star his last North American title reign suggested, and he knows his days as World Heavyweight champ may be numbered.

 

Earnest - He has no need to be concerned, Ana! Valiant will soon find out he'll be biting more than he can chew, and the Cream of the Crop's reign as SWF World Heavyweight Champion will continue after Nothing to Lose.

 

Fry - But you can never tell when someone's gonna be cashing in, and there will be six possibilities for that to happen come Nothing to Lose. Who knows, whoever wins the Supreme Nothing to Lose Ladder Match just might cash in that very same evening!

 

Earnest (mocking Fry's catchphrase) - Quit it, Duane!

 

Fry - Oh, brother. The stuff I have to put up with when I'm working with Marvin. (sighs) For Marv Earnest and Ana Garcia, this is Duane Fry. Goodnight, SWF Galaxy, and make sure to join us next Tuesday for another evening of BARNSTORMERS on Supreme TV!

After exchanging ideas for about an hour or so, Christian suddenly became morose, seemingly right after he emerged from the men's room wearing his General Manager duds.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

2:30 p.m.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/ChristianFaith_alt4jt_zpscf122805.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Sometimes a man can only take so much," said Christian, adjusting the lapels of his jacket and fixing his tie. The Christian Faith I grew up watching wouldn't have worn a suit and tie. He would have landed a gutwrench powerbomb on Richard Eisen, then the Leap of Faith, and told him, with all conviction, "I HAVE FAITH, ASSHOLE!" That was, of course, before he found God and really started living up to his ring name. Now he was just another suit - a rare example of an honest and trustworthy authority figure in a wrestling world where the heel authority figure (e.g. Rip Chord, Barry Bowen, Tommy Cornell, Shane Sneer) was the norm. And if not for the ongoing feud he, RDJ and Vengeance had against The Eisen Entourage, he wouldn't be wrestling. This was too much rest for Christian, as Eric and Jerry kept sweeping him under the rug.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"And it's not just the fact I'm made to look weak and impotent," he continued. "Stuff's brewing at home. Really bad stuff."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Like what?", asked Lenny Brown as the Keith twins decided to take a risk and order themselves a beer each, even if they were booked for today's taping.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Maria, my daughter, she's supposed to appear in an angle in February. But she got arrested for DUI and she couldn't care less about this business...the same business that feeds each and every one of us. Man, that boyfriend of hers is bad news."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Same boyfriend you put over back when Peter was turning heel?", I asked.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Yeah, that guy." Christian took a deep breath and continued venting out about his troublemaking kids. "Since Maria doesn't want to do any angles, who are we gonna get?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Venus Angeletti from RIPW", I offered. "She probably needs a bit more work, but if we've passed Ernest Youngman off as Jack Bruce's son, I don't see why we can't have Venus playing a bit part as your daughter."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"I dunno, KP," said the usually silent Vengeance. "Venus already did a cameo as one of the girls on Edd Stone's debut vignettes. The smarks are gonna recognize her."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Screw the smarks!", said Christian Faith quite sharply, surprising everyone in the table, including himself. "I'm sorry, guys. It's just that the whole situation at home is making everybody tense. Me and my wife, we've been married a good 25 years and she should know how the business works. Now she keeps giving me hints, if they are even hints, that she may want out after all this time?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Faith wasn't true talking about how troubled his home life was at this point.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"And my son Matty just got expelled from continuation school. Continuation school. Who the heck gets kicked out of continuation school anyway? The boy's already been held back once. What's he going to do right now...follow my footsteps and become a wrestler?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"I don't think hiring Matty is such a bad idea. We can have him start in Providence or Texas, probably give him two to three years in developmental," suggested Elmo Benson, a surprise addition to the Elite creative committee, which also included myself, Christian, Vengeance, Ricky Dale Johnson and the Eisens - Peter Michaels, in case you're wondering, was left off creative by the old man when Eric took over as head booker.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Not gonna work, Benny," said Christian, addressing Elmo by his real name. "Matty hurts people! We got sued some time ago because Matty had broken the arm of one of his school friends while they were backyard wrestling! He's green and he's clumsy, no offense meant because that's the same way I was when I was his age. He'll want to attend Supreme University or Piledriver Wrestling School or something, not join RIPW or TWL right off the bat. Furthermore..."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Long pause.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"...I never wanted Matthias to become a wrestler. He was doing good in football, but not so good academically and in terms of conduct. He could have hit the books real hard so he could get a football scholarship, but he didn't. And he keeps landing in the principal's office. This is the third time he's gotten expelled. And with Diane this close to leaving me, and Maria messing up with that punk boyfriend of hers, getting arrested and all..."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Another long pause.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"And the EISENS! All of them. From the father, who had treated me like a son since I was a rookie jobber, only to ignore my contributions and put his irresponsible son Eric in control...to his biological sons who want to put me out to pasture. And that damned Klubb of theirs."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Christian downed the contents of his beer with one gulp and asked for another - one last, he told us - because he was just that upset with the way things were going, not only in his household but in the locker room as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"This is just a test of faith, I tell myself. Just a test of faith."</span></p>

<p><strong>OOC</strong> - Stuff happened and Elite might be a bit delayed...again. But I did somehow come up with another backstage segment ahead of Elite, and here we are, taking a look at the Klubb's bullying at its worst.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><em>"The SWF Way, According to Brandon James"</em></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>Thursday, January 30, 2014</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>

Frank Erwin Center</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"><strong>

5:30 p.m.</strong></span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/BigCatBrandon_alt2.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"God damn that Mississippi yokel!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Fortunately, none of us who were at the secret creative meeting at Friday's were bombed when we arrived at the locker room that afternoon. Unfortunately, somebody was more than just a little tipsy, having downed a few beers and tried to dull the edge off the booze with a little of that white powder.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"The boy, and I repeat, that boy, doesn't have the balls for this business. You already un-followed him and tweeted about it, huh, Emma?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Sure did, Jim."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Man, I am so gonna be there at the next Supreme taping. KC Glenn is goin' to f---in' PAY for shooting off like that!"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

</span></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm87/endshiftresign/TEW%202013/CitizenX-1_zpsb494d3ae.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Brandon James was upset. And I wanted to know what was up. Of course, I didn't ask him, nor did I ask any of his Klubb buddies. Instead, I asked the new guy, Charles Weston, about why Brandon was losing his shit over KC Glenn, and whatever he did. Chuck, who wrestled as Citizen X in MAW, was tight with tag team partner and fellow "TV executive" Roger Cage, but definitely not one who'd want to go Klubbin'.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"What's up with that, Chuck?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"It's Brandon being Brandon," Chuck replied, careful not to be overheard. "Brandon had posted something on Twitter, something about meeting this Southern guy at last night's house show. Someone who totally reminded him of KC, right down to the thick accent and conservative beliefs and aw-shucks down-home friendliness. It sounded like it was in jest, but it was meant to be condescending."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Yeah, I can see that."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"So KC goes all passive-aggressive, shares this image from an anti-bullying Facebook page, and hints that he's not gonna be pushed around by anyone. And Brandon's like, 'the nerve of KC to shoot on me!' Been ranting and raving about KC since I got here. But tell me this, KP. Was KC really bullied by the Klubb before the brand split?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Very often. He was like the Klubb's mascot for a while. KC, being a naive small-town boy, did hang with us for some time, but he eventually had it with our wild and crazy antics. And being all confused about where he should belong, KC fell in with the Klubb and believed it when Eric Eisen told him we were a bad influence and stuff. But really, Chuck, Eric wanted KC in the Klubb so they'd have somebody to push around. Somebody to laugh AT, not to laugh WITH."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Chuck let out a long sigh. "Poor KC. I briefly met him when he was trying out for MAW, you know, when Sam Keith was all set to sign him, only for the SWF to sign him first. He's a really nice guy. Yeah, he is very naive and very straight-laced, but nobody deserves to go through that shit."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"How was the guy Brandon met, though?" I had to ask as I wasn't booked for last night's house show.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"I'm telling you, KP, the guy was an out-and-out MARK, and did kinda have the same thick Southern accent as KC. But he was...uh...how shall I say this? He did say he was an Aspie back when we were signing autographs. He didn't deserve it, and neither did KC."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

Unfortunately, Brandon had apparently heard our conversation, and before we knew it, he was right in front of our faces, and not looking the least bit jovial.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Interesting conversation you got going there," sneered Brandon James.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Look, Brandon, if it's about KC Glenn...," stammered Chuck as Brandon edged even closer towards us.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"There's a MAW way of doin' things...and there's an SWF way of doin' things. Lesson number one, Weston. Do not challenge the status quo. Lesson number two. Some people aren't cut out for professional wrestling and the atmosphere thereof. Lesson number three. If you have a problem with the way we run things here, take it up with Eric, instead of gossiping about it with your fellow jabroni. Are we cool with that, Citizen X?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

We both nodded our heads, but Brandon's reply was to slap Chuck in the face and repeat his question.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"I said, are we cool with that?"</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Y-y-y-yes, Brandon."</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Franklin Gothic Medium';">

"Good. Now go read your script and be prepared to show us what made you one of the best stick men in the bush leagues."</span></p>

Gordon Reed and Rodney Ekuma, all of whom resigned from Elite last night to work for the DaVE brand as the linchpins of the Money-Chase Agency, will come in the form of one of the competition's top tag teams, as well as one of the SWF's prettiest young managers.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

DaVE General Manager </span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><strong>Carlos Ray Batch</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> has been quoted as saying "that Devil's Advocate ain't hardcore enough for the DaVE brand, and he sure as hell can't fly", which has pointed to Batch compensating Elite GM Christian Faith and his brand with </span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><strong>John Anderson</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">, and presumably his manager </span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><strong>Hannah</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">. But what about Anderson's former tag team partner </span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"><strong>Brent Hill</strong></span><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">, who had signed a two-year contract with the SWF last week? Batch did not make any mention of Hill, but insiders suggest the 43-year-old Hill had indeed gotten assigned to DaVE, so he could work with his old friend Anderson.</span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"> </span></p><p><span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';">

Happy birthday, flaviooooo, and as a bonus birthday gift for you, I'll have you choose two (instead of one) High Stakes rookies for Season 4, as long as they're 30 or younger, as long as they're not named Alan Parent, because I am definitely bringing Pawent back as a second-chance guy. (Oh, and Scythe/Tommy Alexander also can't be invited back; his contract just expired and I chose not to re-sign him.) By now, you should have already gotten a PM with more details. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

- Background on Randy Bumfhole's new ring name - he's "Proscriptor Randall Buckminster" and his finishing move is now the "Absolution" as a tribute to one of my favorite extreme metal bands, Absu, whose vocalist is named Proscriptor McGovern, birth name Russley Randell Givens.</p><p>

- Rich Money's buyout of The Chase Agency and the Agency members (except Brandon James) moving to DaVE is a good move storyline-wise, as it allows Emma Chase to return to her roots, while allowing her to be the person to give DaVE a television show of its own in storyline. I'm currently negotiating with CBA in hopes that I'd get another show, and that's going to be SWF Xtreme TV, DaVE's official TV show.</p><p>

- Thank God the Caulfield vs Ino feud is over - they don't have bad chemistry as opponents, but somehow their matches have never been anywhere above the C range.</p><p>

- Thinking of booking Rocky Golden (renamed to the glam rock-ish Rokk "The Golden Idol" Adamz) as a heel on Elite, but (maybe) not part of Rich Money's New Money Army Silver. I'd previously planned to book him as a face. Conversely, the Peak brothers may be babyfaces on DaVE, contrary to earlier plans, as the lineup's too heel-heavy right now.</p><p>

- Looks like no one picked the reinvented Paul Hunt (ex-Huntingdon) to win. His new character has just a tad of Triple H influence, as he's now shifting from blue blood to bad-ass, and we should find out soon where his character's direction will be going.</p>
