After the opening credits are finished, <strong>Hans Heinrich Houtzer </strong>can be seen in an intense discussion with an irate <strong>Scurvy Dog</strong> in the parking lot! The camera moves in closer and we begin to hear what is said.</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/HansHeinrichHoutzer.jpg</span><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/ScurvyDog.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>SD:</strong> “Aaaargh! Ye cannae get away with this Houtzer, yer opressing us. We want those Finnish [Censored for watershed viewing] in a battle o' the bands and we want them live on Wrestling's Got Talent next week!”</p><p> </p><p> <strong>HHH:</strong> “Mr. Dog, I'm afraid I cannot let you do that. You were signed to open the show last week not physically provoke our resident metal artists. You want to get onto this show again? If so, I suggest you go and sign up for the audition phase which starts in two weeks. This is the last we shall speak of the matter”.</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37416" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><p>Scurvy Dog lets out a half hearted yar and heads back to The Pride of Helheim group van.

Our host for this cooking contest, <strong>Marjan Sidorov</strong>, welcomes the first team of competitors out. The crowd grow hostile as the maniacal <strong>Iron Chef</strong> and his sidekick <strong>Hungry Hungry Daido</strong> walk out, The Iron Chef's trademark meat cleaver being waved about in the air with reckless abandon. </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/RexVanHimst.jpg</span><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/DelMichel.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Rex Van Himst</strong> comes out alone and after some back and forth with Marjan introduces his team mate for this challenge, none other than <strong>Del Michel</strong>! The Iron Chef rants about this as he claims Del is a professional chef and as such, Rex is cheating! Marjan quickly reminds The Iron Chef that this simply evens up the sides with one professional each.</p><p> </p><p> Marjan then goes onto to reveal the ingredients each team will have to use. They include rice, locally sourced salmon and an array of vegetables that include peas, carrots & lettuce. The Iron Chef looks delighted at this, Del and Rex not so much.</p><p> </p><p> The contest gets under way. Daido is told to stay out of the way as The Iron Chef comically begins to cut everything in sight. Del and Rex seem to be having some difficulty until Rex closes his eyes for a split second and jumps up slightly. Letting Del in on the plan they quickly get to work.</p><p> </p><p> The five minute mark approaches and The Iron Chef is sneakily looking over at Del and Rex to see what they are making! However due to this distraction, he fails to notice his partner Hungry Hungry Daido eat everything on the workbench. Turning around to see his workbench empty and a piece of lettuce hanging from Daido's mouth, The Iron Chef flies into a furious rage and threatens his partner! Marjan steps in at the last moment, informing The Iron Chef that due to his lack of ingredients this cook out is over and <strong>the winners are Del Michel & Rex Van Himst! </strong>The crowd applause and the victors bow before shaking hands with each other</p></div><p></p><p>.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center"><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/HarryManalow.jpg</span><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/FinnishFury.jpg</span><p> </p><p> After the commercial break, we see <strong>Harry Manalow</strong> setting up for a performance, the time being given due to last weeks interruption from Finnish Fury – the voice-over man stating they broke the rules of the battle of the bands by not letting Manalow finish. Sadly, this week appears to be more of the same as <strong>the three thugs from Finnish Fury step out to the ring</strong> with malicious intent! Not even letting Manalow get ready to fight them off, the trio begin to beat down on the Belgian singer but are stopped by the surprise appearance of <strong>The Pride of Helheim</strong> who charge the ring and save Manalow. This in turn brings out <strong>C-Note</strong> and the rest of the WGT security team, one team taking The Pride of Helheim out of the Mall and C-Note's team pulling Finnish Fury off of Harry Manalow. </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/HansHeinrichHoutzer.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> Hans Heinrich Houtzer stands up and announces as punishment,<strong> Finnish Fury will be facing off against their season one rivals Radial Intensity later on in the night</strong> before warning them that failure to participate will see them eliminated from WGT, for good.</p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37416" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/ArantildeaVerde.jpg</span> vs <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/NikolaiVinogradov.jpg</span><p> </p><p> <strong>In an extremely poor match, Nikolai Vinogradov defeated Arana Verde in 5:32 by pinfall. During the match we also had Spellcaster appear on the stage and distract Arana Verde.</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Arana Verde</strong> showed what talents he brought to WGT as he made a daring swing into the ring, finishing it off with a nice backflip, the three judges commenting on his obvious background as a trapeze artist. A flying knife (plastic of course) brought the rope that Arana was just on down and out stomped <strong>Nikolai Vinogradov</strong>, who was ordered to take part in this contest due to his actions last week. He didn't look happy at this and his anger grew as Arana Verde used speed to land several strikes and escape before Nikolai could attack. Nikolai eventually stopped still which caused the flying spider to look confused. This momentary lapse in concentration allow Nikolai a window of opportunity to attack, an opportunity he took. Clubbing Arana with heavy blows, Nikolai looked to be in complete control and even looked dead ahead at the entrance way.</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/Spellcaster.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> The constant looks eventually explained themselves as <strong>Spellcaster</strong> appeared. Chanting an incantation, he loudly called Arana Verde's name! The lights momentarily turned a deep blue and when they turned back on, Arana was frozen to the spot! <strong>Nikolai picked up the frozen acrobat and planted him on the mat with a vicious powerbomb, covering for what could have easily been a ten count.</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center"><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/BrahminAcharya.jpg</span><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/Martino.jpg</span><p> </p><p> After a short break, a catwalk greeted the viewer with <strong>Brahmin Acharya</strong> already gloating about how great and wonderful his client <strong>Martino</strong> was. Right Said Fred's classic hit “I'm Too Sexy” started to blare out and Martino came out, strutting his stuff with an extra coat of arrogance. Striking a few poses, which whipped both the female fans and Brahmin into rapturous giggling and squealing, Martino looked as if he knew he had the crowd in the palm of his hand. Ending the show with his signature look “Italian Heaven” (Blue Steel) Martino looked at Brahmin and winked before strutting off into the locker room. Brahmin quickly left after him, not before plugging his services as WGT's top life coach!</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/RadialInsanity.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> The cameras switched into the parking lot again where a rabid crowd of youngsters had gathered. Three men were busy doing an intricate parkour/dance sequence and it soon became clear that these three men were no ordinary men, they <strong>were J-Rod, Kid G and Slowmo of Radial Intensity!</strong> Slowmo took the lead, slowing down time to allow both J-Rod and Kid G to do almost impossible stereo wall flips off of the side of the Synthesis Mall before running over and kicking off of the same wall to do an even more ridiculous move. The crowd erupted in applause and the cameras followed Radial Intensity into the arena and through the entrance curtain (Don't worry folks, nothing that would reveal this to be a wrestling show instead of a wrestling talent show was seen!) for their match with perennial rivals Finnish Fury, a match that was up next!</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37416" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/FinnishFury.jpg</span> vs <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/RadialInsanity.jpg</span><p> </p><p> <strong>In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Finnish Fury (Akseli Hokkanen, Eerikki Niskanen and Iisakki Pulkkinen) defeated Radial Insanity (J-Rod, Kid G and Slowmo) in 6:19 when Akseli Hokkanen defeated Slowmo by pinfall.</strong></p><p> </p><p> Finnish Fury weren't granted an entrance, an act they weren't clearly weren't happy with as they went over and had words with the head judge Hans Heinrich Houtzer. Radial Intensity tried to get the jump on them but it appeared as though Finnish Fury had every move scouted, at one point Akseli telling the dance troupe they were nothing but old news and that their tricks were tired and boring. Slowmo took the most offence at this and attempted to rush the lead singer of Finnish Fury, only to receive a running big boot for his troubles. Akseli laughed as Slowmo flipped in the air then spasmed on the mat and made the cover with his boot on top of the unconscious dancer as his bandmates held off J-Rod and Kid G. Akseli then made the demands that he be allowed a one on one contest with Harry Manalow, this time under his rules! Hans Heinrich Houtzer told him he could have the match on one condition,<strong> if Akseli manages to beat two opponents of Houtzer's choice in two weeks time then Akseli will get his match on WGT Not Safe For TV! </strong>If not then Akseli can find himself tuning into Danish4TV every Friday like the great audiences of WGT for a month, with no pay! Akseli threw a tantrum at this and was eventually talked down by his band mates, the three walking to the back whilst Houtzer sat back down in his chair.</p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="37416" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center"><span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/Motorcross.jpg</span><p> </p><p> <strong>Motorcross</strong>' accomplishments are seen project onto a sheet outside the Synthesis Mall with heroic music playing in the background. The familiar rev of a motorcycle engine kicks in and we see Motorcross burst through the sheet, jump through a ring of fire AND land safely on his back wheel before steadying himself and driving into the arena for his scheduled contest with Martino!</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/Martino.jpg</span> vs <span>http://i1342.photobucket.com/albums/o765/Wrestlesaurus_X/WGT/Motorcross.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> <strong>In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Martino defeated Motorcross in 7:43 by pinfall.</strong></p><p> </p><p> Martino didn't want any part of Motorcross, claiming that Motorcross “chipped his left ring finger's nail, made his perfectly waxed hair droop a little bit and made his left foot suddenly ache”. C-Note was having none of this and ordered Martino into the ring otherwise he wouldn't have that pretty face left any more. Intimidated heavily by the bulking Head of Security, Martino entered the ring under duress. Motorcross laughed at Martino and mocked that he was a crybaby, an act which enraged the vain Italian. A game of cat and mouse ensued until Brahmin Acharya jumped up onto the apron. Motorcross attempted to get the premier life coach down, not noticing Martino behind him poised and ready to strike. When Motorcross turned around he was met with the daintiest slap ever seen on Danish4TV, several of the crowd laughing at Martino's weak attempt at offence. Motorcross attempt to play his games again but Martino sulked off to his corner. Seeking advice from Brahmin, Martino walked back into the middle of the ring and put up his hands in a fighting pose. C-Note was then conveniently called over to Brahmin, allowing Martino to throw baby powder into the eyes of the popular daredevil Motorcross! Motorcross stumbled around which allowed Martino to roll him up at exactly the same time C-Note had finished talking to Brahmin. The three count was academic and the crowd booed heavily as Martino quickly rolled out of the ring. Motorcross eventually got up to his own feet and looked at C-Note, <strong>C-Note flashing a wad of cash which was evidently given to him by Brahmin Acharya! </strong>Motorcross looked angry but still waved the crowd goodbye as the end credits began to roll at the bottom of the screen.</p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote>

Rex Van Himst may find himself moving out of the ring sooner rather than later and into a backstage role if he keeps on under perfoming. A role as interviewer would suit him perfectly.</p></div><p></p><p></p>

I'm worse than brand new to the T Verse so I won't even begin trying to come up with a sensible prediction but I read up on the promotion and I've been spying on your draft your running. I like the idea of this promotion its something that I can't ever really recall seeing anything close to attempted before in real life or on here or anywhere. Kudos for that.

<p>So what are the rules when it comes to you guys that created it. Are you all pretty secretive about who created what or do you not like to talk about it and do the whole Brendan Fraiser in that one movie where he's like "I'm just trying to give it a 110 percent"....damn referencing dated pop culture is tough enough, referencing dated pop culture to a bunch of guys who apparently don't live in the United States is even tougher and then I can't even reference it CORRECTLY. I should be fired from the forums....I digress. There are so many cool ideas like Wrestling's Got Talent that the creator deserves a strong, manly pat on the back for. </p><p> </p><p>

I've noticed that it seems like a lot of the top guys in this are in their late 30's early 40's. There doesn't appear to be many young, talented, over guys or if there is I'm missing them. Prophecy, Thunder, etc. </p><p> </p><p>

I suppose Hawk isn't TOO old but at 35 he's right now got about three years or so on top. Giroux seems to be this universes Tommy Cornell, the whole package and overness and he's in his young 30's. I'll go back in my hole discovering this universe now thanks for everyone's help</p>

That then fell in 2001 and a host of promotions rose up in its place. As a result, workers that debuted after the fall (or at least, were not in the WWWE at the time) have had a much smaller stage to work on. For that reason, there are a lot of talented young workers in the mod, but they haven't had the opportunities to become hugely over because the promotions they can work for are all smaller than would normally be the case.</p>
