SWF -- This Means War! (diary)

[Clarity]

I dunno. I kinda like the fact that he doesn't post them. I use my dark matches to try out future combinations for the tv show and/or for members of the roster thats are "injured" or "suspended" If Scampino is doing the same, it might ruin a possible surprise

Yeah. An example would be that i put the 2 females from my main storyline in a match during dark time to see if they could pull off a match together.. And after seeing the rating. They are not gonna do that during a live show. Boy they sucked together

Clarity has it spot on as to why I don't post dark matches anymore. I use them as my one chance for checking for chemistry and to try out combinations before putting them "live". Obviously I don't always get it right and sometimes I forget to check things, but the dark matches will stay dark for now. As for the one reference I made about a week ago to the dark matches, well, stay tuned. The reason for what I said is forthcoming.

I know that the game techncially accounts for the dark matches by saying it's seen by the televised public but that doesn't mean that you actaully have to portray it that way, cause as we all know we really don't get to see dark matches if we are not at the show. I'm perfectly alright if Scapino doesn't want to post them with the shows and if there is somethign we actually need to know from a dark match he can post the results as an online thing from the promotino or through the announcers using a recap angel.

[CENTER][B][SIZE="3"]SWF Warzone[/SIZE][/B] [I]Filmed Wednesday of Week 2, September 2008[/I] (The Go-Home Show for [COLOR="DarkRed"]"Under Control"[/COLOR]) Held at the V. Thompson Arena in the South West Territory 9,667 in attendance[/CENTER] Peter Michaels, Duane Fry, and Ana Garcia welcomed us to [I]Warzone[/I]. 1) Richard Eisen came out to the ring and said that tonight was the last night before the fan-booked Pay-Per-View, "Under Control". Richard said he was excited seeing all the votes coming in and he said that based on what he's seen so far, it's going to be one heck of a night. He said that tonight's going to be exciting as well, especially given the match that fan [B]JonnyV1[/B] has put together. Jonny has requested that Marc DuBois, Rich Money, Tim Westybrook, Darryl Devine, Ricky Dale Johnson, and Wanda Fish face each other in an elimination match, with the stipulation being that the winner be given a guaranteed title shot that they can use anytime within the next year. Richard seemed wistful, saying that a prize like that is like having valuables in a vault. He then shrugged and said maybe the fans can think of a better name for the match. RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]B+[/COLOR] 2) Angry Gilmore came out to the ring. He had the SWF 10-Minute Championship draped over one shoulder. He said that in some ways, he hated his title. He said that he's much better than it and that he deserves to be in the main event tonight. But, he said, that wasn't going to stop him from destroying whatever loser the fans vote into his title defense at "Under Control". RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A*[/COLOR] 3) [B]THE SAMOAN WILD BOYZ vs. THE FABULOUS BUMFHOLES vs. MASTERS OF FORTUNE[/B] Once again, the announcers explained that this match was between the three options fans had for the tag team title match at "Under Control" to help any undecided voters make up their minds. It was a great match. The Bumfholes scored a pin on Akima Brave early after double-teaming him, eliminating him from the rest of the match. Once the Samoans had left the ring, the Bumfholes joked around, obviously not worried about Chance and Missy. That proved to be a fatal mistake. Missy and Chance took the fight to the Bumfholes and sent them reeling, knocking them around the ring before Missy managed to low-blow Zimmy Bumfhole and roll him up for the pin. WINNERS: [B]Masters of Fortune [/B]in 12:39 RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 4) Chris Caulfield delivered a promo about his match with Eddie Peak. He apologized to the fans, saying that the SWF doctors were refusing to let Eddie or him participate in any matches given the potential brutality of "Under Control". He promised, though, that the wait would be worth it. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 5) Steve Frehley went next, saying once again that he didn't care who he faced at "Under Control". He predicted that the SWF North American Championship wasn't going anywhere. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 6) [B]ERIC EISEN vs. JOEY MINNESOTA[/B] Speaking of the North American title match, Eric Eisen and Joey Minnesota delivered another "options" match to show undecided fans who the better competitor might be. It was an intense match with Joey providing the power and Eric the flying. But in the end, Eric managed to block an Empire Spiral attempt and somehow turn it into a Silver Spoon Shock. WINNER: [B]Eric Eisen[/B] in 11:59 RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 7) Eddie Peak appeared on screen. He said that Chris Caulfield was a liar. He said that the doctors didn't actually forbid them from having any matches. He said that they only [I]suggested[/I] they shouldn't. Eddie said that Chris has always been like that. He talks a big game, calling himself the Embodiment of Hardcore or whatever, but when push came to shove, Eddie was the one who filled in the gaps. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 8) Christian Faith came out and said that it wasn't fair that Wanda got another chance at a title shot tonight and he didn't. He also said that he heard rumors that he wasn't doing that well in terms of fans voting for him. He said he wanted to prove that he was the best choice for the match at "Under Control". And since Wanda was "busy", that left him little choice but to challenge Sam Keith to a match. He demanded that Sam come out to the ring right away. Sam came out and said that Christian has always been a whiner. He said there was only one way to shut him up. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B-[/COLOR] for the challenge; [COLOR="blue"]B [/COLOR]for the acceptance 9) [B]SAM KEITH vs. CHRISTIAN FAITH[/B] Christian took a few swings at Sam, all of which Sam ducked. The last one, Sam ducked by grabbing Christian's ankles and up-ending him. Before Christian could stop him, Sam had the Proton Lock locked in and in record time, Christian tapped. WINNER: [B]Sam Keith [/B]in 3:01 RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 10) Archangel now cut a promo, saying that he's ready to go for this Saturday. He said that facing the Army of One didn't frighten him. He said that he's faced off against Sam Keith in the past and come out all right. He said that he'd be honored to face Wanda Fish again if that's how the fans vote. But he said that he wasn't planning on losing the championship anytime soon. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 11) [B]TIM WESTYBROOK vs. DARRYL DEVINE vs. RICKY DALE JOHNSON vs. WANDA FISH vs. MARC DuBOIS vs. RICH MONEY[/B] in [COLOR="Purple"]an elimination match[/COLOR] All six competitors eyed each other warily as they made their entrances. Once the bell rung, naturally RDJ and Rich went after each other, which proved to be a fatal mistake. Rich managed to stagger RDJ early and even nailed the Bank Roll, but before he could captalize, Wanda Fish nailed him with the Dish of the Day and made the pin. Rich was escorted out of the ring and did not look particularly happy. The fight continued. Wanda went after Tim, which the announcers said was either [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"gutsy or stupid, take your pick."[/COLOR] She actually managed to knock Tim around a little, but then Tim shrugged off one of her attacks and put her away with an underhook powerbomb. Marc tried to save her, but was intercepted by Darryl Devine. Tim made the pin. Marc took out his frustration on Darryl by getting him to tap with the Model Solution. That left Marc, RDJ, and Tim. Marc tried to rally RDJ to his side to eliminate Tim, but that backfired. RDJ and Tim both attacked Marc at the same time. RDJ finally hit Marc with the Southern Justice and tried to make the pin. Tim hauled RDJ off of Marc and the two started fighting each other. It ended badly for RDJ, getting dropped to the mat with an Unstoppable Force. Tim came up from the pin only to get blindsided by Marc. The two brawled through the ring before finally, Marc nailed Tim with the Marc of Excellence and made the pin. WINNER: [B]Marc DuBois [/B]in 24:21 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A[/COLOR] As the show went off the air, the announcers urged the viewers to cast their votes soon!

[CENTER]SWF presents... [COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="3"][B]"Under Control"[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [I]Saturday of Week 2, September 2008[/I] Held at the Manhattan National Center in the Tri State Territory 22,809 in attendance; Buy-Rate of 436,224[/CENTER] Jerry Eisen, Peter Michaels, and Emma Chase welcomed us to "Under Control". This kicked off a flashy opening music package (we just made the switch from minor licensed to major licensed music). 1) That package went into a video montage of the potential matches that could be made tonight. RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]B+[/COLOR] 2) Things kicked off with the camera cutting backstage to reveal who will be facing Angry Gilmore in the opening match. Delirious Dan stood next to Nevada Nuclear. A big cardboard cut-out of a person's outline with a question mark stood next to them. An omnipotent voice spoke, saying that the potential opponents received the following: [B]Delirious Dan - 69.2%[/B] Nevada Nuclear - 15.4% A Mystery Opponent - 15.4% Dan looked elated. Nevada looked ... well, I'm not sure what Nevada was trying to convey. He fell kind of flat. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 3) [B]DELIRIOUS DAN vs. ANGRY GILMORE (c)[/B] for [COLOR="Red"]the SWF 10-Minute Championship[/COLOR] Angry did not look concerned heading to the ring. Instead, he he mocked Dan and knocked him around in the opening minutes of the bout. That proved to be a costly mistake. Dan fired back, rocking Angry back. Sadly, Dan missed many of his spots and Angry had to cover for him, but both Angry and the announcers were able to play Dan up and make him look like a dangerous competitor. In the end, Dan nailed a vicious implant DDT and made the pin. WINNER: [B]Delirious Dan [/B]in 10:11 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]B+[/COLOR] It looked like Richard Eisen was getting ready to announce what kind of match Eddie Peak and Chris Caulfield was going to have, but instead, he was interrupted by Tim Westybrook. Tim insisted that they announce who his opponent was going to be so whoever it was could prepare himself mentally for suffering the worst defeat in his career. 4) So instead, Darryl Devine, Rich Money, and Ricky Dale Johnson lined up. Once again, the omnipotent voice spoke, revealing how the fans voted: [B]Darryl Devine - 50%[/B] Ricky Dale Johnson - 16.6% Rich Money - 33.4% Darryl seemed a little stunned that he won, but he shook hands with RDJ. RDJ looked at Rich and laughed and walked away, leaving Rich to glare after him. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 5) Once that was over, the camera cut to Chris Caulfield and Eddie Peak. Eddie was boasting about how he wasn't worried about the match at all. Chris remained quiet, hands folded and touching his chin. The omnipotent voice revealed how the vote fell: First Blood - 16.8% [B]Inferno Match - 41.6% Barbed Wire Match - 41.6%[/B] The voice went on to explain that since it's a tie, the SWF would hold the first ever Barbed Wire Inferno match. The ring ropes would be replaced with barbed wire and the only way to end the match would be to set your opponent on fire. Eddie's eyes bulged open and he turned to Chris, who started laughing maniacally. Eddie tried to find Richard Eisen, but upon finding him, was informed that the match was going to go ahead. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 6) Rich Money found Ricky Dale Johnson backstage and said that it was RDJ's fault that he didn't get the match against Tim Westybrook. He said that the audience must have been turned off by RDJ's ridiculous stories about Jennifer Heat. RDJ shoved Rich away and said that he only had himself to blame. Then Rich took a swing at RDJ and they started brawling! RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B[/COLOR] 7) [B]CHRIS CAULFIELD vs. EDDIE PEAK [/B]in [COLOR="Purple"]a Barbed Wire Inferno match[/COLOR] The announcers really hyped up the match, saying that they had never seen anything like this before. The ring ropes had been replaced with barbed wire and a trough lined the apron. They explained that this was a truly hybrid match: once started, it could only stop if Chris or Eddie set their opponent on fire. Otherwise, anything went. Chris got into the ring without flinching. He instead danced in the ring and warmed up. Eddie looked terrified going out. Once he was inside the ring, the flame jets were lit and Eddie jumped. The match was absolutely brutal and left both men visibly tiring. Both men were bleeding profusely from being thrown against the ropes. Weapons were brought into play and several times, they both came close to being burned. Perhaps the most interesting moment was when Eddie Peak brought in a fire extinguisher and took a swing at Chris with it. Chris ducked the blow and dropped Eddie to the mat and started to shove him toward the nearest trough. Eddie fought back and finally sprayed out that trough with the extinguisher. The match continued until Eddie seemed to get the upperhand. He nailed the Peak of the Devil and started to roll Chris toward one of the lit troughs. Chris came to life before he could be set on fire and the two wound up brawling. Eddie tried to set up another Peak of the Devil, only to have it blocked and turned into a Danger Drop by Chris. Chris looked at Eddie, then cast a malicious smile toward the cameras. He got out of the ring and slid in a table, which he set up. He then went back out and retrieved a bottle from under the ring. He sprayed the contents on the table and then lit a hunk of paper from one of the troughs. He tossed the blazing paper on the table and it caught fire. Chris then picked up Eddie and powerbombed him through the table, setting him on fire. [COLOR="darkgreen"]"Well, I guess that counts," [/COLOR]Emma said. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"The rules only say that you have to set your opponent on fire. It doesn't say exactly how."[/COLOR] WINNER: [B]Chris Caulfield [/B]in 17:55 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]B+[/COLOR] 8) Sam Keith appeared on screen. He said he knew it was too late to ask for votes and he didn't intend to. He said he hoped the fans made the right choice: him. He promised that if he was chosen, his battle with Archangel would be epic. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 9) The camera cut backstage where Ricky Dale Johnson and Rich Money were still brawling. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B-[/COLOR] 10) It's time to find out who would face Steve Frehley for the SWF North American Championship. Joey Minnesota, Eric Eisen, and the cardboard cut-out were waiting backstage. The omnipotent voice broke down the vote: [B]Joey Minnesota - 50%[/B] Eric Eisen - 16.6% A Mystery Opponent - 33.4% Eric was disappointed, but he put on a brave face and tried to shake Joey's hand. Joey laughed at him and headed for the ring. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 11) [B]JOEY MINNESOTA vs. STEVE FREHLEY (c)[/B] for [COLOR="Red"]the SWF North American Championship[/COLOR] This was a great match. In some ways, it was better than the Barbed Wire Inferno match. Joey and Steve kept the intensity up throughout the whole match. Joey, for some reason, seemed to be the fan favorite. They screamed their encouragement for Joey to destroy Steve Frehley. Steve only fed off that, it seemed. He actually called for the fans to yell at him at times. Joey tried to get a number of pins but couldn't keep Steve down. Finally, Steve caught a second wind and finished Joey off with a vicious Frehley's Comet. WINNER: [B]Steve Frehley [/B]in 12:35 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A[/COLOR] 12) Darryl Devine appeared on screen. He said he knew he was going to face Tim Westybrook tonight and he said that he had every reason to be scared. He said that Tim was an impressive competitor. He said that there's a reason why he was called The Iron Man and the Unstoppable Force. But, Darryl said, if Tim wasn't afraid of him, he should be. Darryl said that people had been underestimating him for years now. He said that was a costly mistake, and it would cost Tim the match, no matter what the fans had chosen for them. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 13) Rich Money and Ricky Dale Johnson continued their brawl backstage, this time Rich chasing RDJ down and attacking him. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B[/COLOR] 14) Three tag teams were gathered backstage to find out their fate. The Fabulous Bumfholes seemed pretty confident. The Samoans were content to wait quietly. Chance and Missy were almost making out with each other. Missy finally had to pry Chance off of herself when she realized that the camera was on them. The omnipotent voice cut in. The votes fell like this: The Fabulous Bumfholes - 16.6% Masters of Fortune - 33.4% [B]The Samoan Wild Boyz - 50%[/B] The Bumfholes looked particularly upset. The Samoans clapped each other on the back and headed for the ring. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 15) [B]THE OUTCASTS (c) vs. THE SAMOAN WILD BOYZ[/B] for [COLOR="Red"]the SWF Tag Team Championship[/COLOR] The Outcasts seemed a little surprised when Kid and Akima offered to shake their hands before the match started. But then Remo and Skull smiled and clapped their opponents on the back, wishing them the best of luck. And then we were off. This turned out to be great. The Samoans took the air every chance they got while Remo and Skull relied primarily on power to blunt the Samoan's attacks. In spite of that, though, the Samoans impressed everyone with their innovative offense. Akima even managed to drop Remo to the mat. He and his brother then went up on opposite turnbuckles and delivered two flying Head Butts at once. Akima then made the cover... only to have Remo kick out. Akima was stunned. He tried to recover and make the pin again, but Remo fought back and finished Akima off with a Destroyer. Kid tried to go to Akima's rescue, but was intercepted by Skull and taken out with a Skull Krusher. WINNERS: [B]The Outcasts [/B]in 15:42 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A[/COLOR] 16) Rich Money and RDJ were [I]still[/I] fighting backstage. Richard Eisen found them and separated them, screaming that he wasn't going to allow his backstage to be turned into a warzone. He said that it was ridiculous that two grown men would be fighting like this ... and not allowing anyone to watch. He ordered them to follow him out to the ring. Once out there, Richard said he was going to give the fans a choice. Did they want to watch Rich Money and RDJ in a match tonight? The fans overwhelmingly said they did by their cheers. Richard then asked if they wanted him to up the stakes a little by making it a Street Fight. That idea was wildly accepted as well. Richard said that's what he would do and it would start right now! RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 17) [B]RICKY DALE JOHNSON vs. RICH MONEY[/B] in [COLOR="Purple"]a street fight[/COLOR] Both men seemed a little sluggish at first ([COLOR="DarkGreen"]"That's what brawling backstage will do to you,"[/COLOR] Jerry Eisen commented), but Rich seemed to recover first. He knocked Ricky Dale Johnson around the ring before planting him with a Bank Roll. But then he made a fatal mistake. He noticed that Jennifer Heat had come out to ringside to watch the proceedings. He got out of the ring and started to chase her around the ring, only to get cracked across the face with a chair courtesy of RDJ. RDJ then dragged Rich back into the ring and fired off a Southern Justice. WINNER: [B]Ricky Dale Johnson [/B]in 12:56 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A[/COLOR] 18) Ricky was celebrating his win when he was ambushed by Rick Law and Bruce the Giant. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"What are they doing out here?"[/COLOR] Peter Michaels cried. Rick and Bruce beat the tar out of RDJ and then raised Rich's hands in victory. RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]B[/COLOR] 19) Tim Westybrook and Darryl Devine were waiting backstage to see what the stipulation for their match would be. The omnipotent voice took over: [B]A Title Defense - 58.3%[/B] A 30-Minute Iron Man Match - 33.3% A Texas Death Match - 8.4% Tim hefted up his Warmaster Title and showed it to Darryl. Darryl smiled and motioned for Tim to head to the ring first. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 20) [B]TIM WESTYBROOK (c) vs. DARRYL DEVINE[/B] for [COLOR="red"]the SWF Warmaster Title[/COLOR] Sadly, these two do not have good chemistry together and it really hurt the match. The announcers were able to cover for most of it, but there was plenty of awkward moments where these two didn't know what to do. In the end, Tim nailed an Unstoppable Force, driving Darryl into the mat. WINNER: [B]Tim Westybrook [/B]in 17:58 RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B[/COLOR] 21) Archangel cut a promo next, saying that the time was soon coming for the main event. He said that in some ways, he was nervous. He could potentially face any one of three great competitors. But, he said, he wasn't that nervous. He knew things would turn out all right. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 22) Marc DuBois, Cliff Wilson, and the cardboard cut-out were waiting patiently backstage. Well, the first two were. The omnipotent voice revealed the vote: Cliff Wilson - 8.3% Marc DuBois - 33.3% [B]A Mystery Opponent - 58.4%[/B] The camera swung around to show Joel Kovach. He growled in frustration and headed for the ring. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 23) Joel came out to the ring and started in on a tirade, saying that he knew why Richard Eisen booked him in this match. It's because Joel is the one person he can't control on the roster. He said that's the only logical explanation. He said that made Richard frightened of him. He pointed out that he was the one who handed over the SWF to Karma in the first place. He said it was because of him that Richard was kept out of his company for so long. So this was obviously Richard's way to try and break him. Joel said he wasn't worried. He said it didn't matter what monkey Richard brought in to do his dirty work. He said that he'd beaten most of the losers in the SWF and he was confident he could beat whoever this mystery opponent was too. He called whoever it was out. Joel stopped in his fevered pacing when a chorus of children's voices started reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. For some reason, they put a lot of emphasis on the last phrase ("with liberty and justice for all"). Then a rock rendition of the Star Spangled Banner kicked in. Out came Joel's opponent, and the crowd went wild. [B]"I don't believe it!" [/B]Jerry cried. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"That's [B]Liberty[/B]! And look what's in his hands!"[/COLOR] Liberty waved to the crowd and then held up an Indian Strap. The announcers said that had been the clear favorite, garnering 58.3% of the vote, with an "I Quit" Match coming in at 25% and the cage match coming last with 16.7%. RATING: [COLOR="Blue"] B[/COLOR] for the challenge; [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] for the response 23) [B]LIBERTY vs. JOEL KOVACH [/B]in [COLOR="Purple"]an Indian Strap Match[/COLOR] These two really kicked the show up a few notches. They have great chemistry together and the match shone as a result. Once tied together, Joel surprised everyone by kicking off the match early. He knocked Liberty off his feet and ran for one of the corners. Liberty yanked hard on the strap and knocked Joel off his feet. The brawl continued with Liberty trying to get to the four corners to win that way while Joel tried to simply get Liberty down and pinned. There were a lot of spectacular spots and Liberty lived up to his reputation for taking monster bumps. In the end, though, Joel finally lost his temper and took Liberty down. Using the strap for extra leverage, he locked in the Kovach Krippler. Liberty started choking and quickly tapped out. WINNER: [B]Joel Kovach [/B]in 16:55 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A*[/COLOR] 24) But Joel refused to release the Krippler! He cinched up the strap even tighter and ignored the ref, who frantically tried to convince him to break the hold. Joel screamed in defiance even as Marc DuBois and the Bumfholes charged the ring and tried to get him to release it. Finally, Joel dropped it and stomped out of the ring. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 25) Wanda Fish, Christian Faith, and Sam Keith were waiting backstage for the results of the voting. The omnipotent voice revealed: [B]Wanda Fish - 75%[/B] Sam Keith - 16.6% Christian Faith - 8.4% Wanda was excited. The other two weren't. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 26) [B]ARCHANGEL (c) vs. WANDA FISH [/B]for [COLOR="Red"]the SWF World Heavyweight Championship[/COLOR] These two really took it up to another level from last month. They put together a match that had the fans screaming and begging for more. Archangel took an early control of the match. He knocked Wanda around the ring and tried to get an early pin, but she kicked out. He tried to take her down a few more times, only to have her kick out each time. Frustration began to mount, but then Wanda was able to take over. Wanda surprised everyone with the intensity of her offense. She actually got two successive two counts before Archangel started to recover. At that point, Marc DuBois charged the ring with chair in hand. He started to stalk around the ring, keeping out of sight of the ref. Wanda spotted him, though, and ordered him to the back. Marc was surprised, but Wanda repeated it. She turned around to find Archangel watching her. The two regarded each other for a moment. Archangel smiled, then Wanda did too. They nodded at each other and started circling each other. The match continued and at one point, Archangel got busted open. They continued to brawl until finally, Archangel managed to drop Wanda to the mat. He looked at her and then headed for the top rope. He wobbled a bit though ([COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Probably from blood loss,"[/COLOR] Peter speculated) and had to reach down to steady himself. He never saw it coming. Wanda kipped up and saw him trying to steady himself. She then charged the corner, leaping from the bottom rope to the top and the springboarding up to deliver a devestating Dish of the Day to a surprised Archangel. Archangel spun from the top turnbukle and hit the mat. Wanda vaulted up to the top turnbuckle and hit a perfect Shooting Star Press onto Archangel. She hooked his leg and 1... 2... 3... it was over. WINNER: [B]Wanda Fish [/B]in 19:36 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A*[/COLOR] 27) Wanda was celebrating with the Heavyweight Championship belt when she saw Archangel get up to his feet. Archangel wobbled a bit. Wanda chewed on her lower lip, then went over to him and stuck out her hand. Archangel considered it for a moment, then smiled and shook it vigorously. He then raised Wanda's hand in triumph. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B[/COLOR] [B][U]THE AFTERMATH[/U][/B] I had been worried that the audience wouldn't think there were enough interviews and such, but I guess they were satisfied with Rich and Ricky's extended brawl along with the numerous vote revelations. Offhand, I'd guess that the final two matches really pushed us over the edge.

[CENTER]SWF presents... [COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="3"][B]"Under Control"[/B][/SIZE][/COLOR] [I]Saturday of Week 2, September 2008[/I] Held at the Manhattan National Center in the Tri State Territory 22,809 in attendance; Buy-Rate of 436,224[/CENTER] Jerry Eisen, Peter Michaels, and Emma Chase welcomed us to "Under Control". This kicked off a flashy opening music package (we just made the switch from minor licensed to major licensed music). 1) That package went into a video montage of the potential matches that could be made tonight. RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]B+[/COLOR] 2) Things kicked off with the camera cutting backstage to reveal who will be facing Angry Gilmore in the opening match. Delirious Dan stood next to Nevada Nuclear. A big cardboard cut-out of a person's outline with a question mark stood next to them. An omnipotent voice spoke, saying that the potential opponents received the following: [B]Delirious Dan - 69.2%[/B] Nevada Nuclear - 15.4% A Mystery Opponent - 15.4% Dan looked elated. Nevada looked ... well, I'm not sure what Nevada was trying to convey. He fell kind of flat. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 3) [B]DELIRIOUS DAN vs. ANGRY GILMORE (c)[/B] for [COLOR="Red"]the SWF 10-Minute Championship[/COLOR] Angry did not look concerned heading to the ring. Instead, he he mocked Dan and knocked him around in the opening minutes of the bout. That proved to be a costly mistake. Dan fired back, rocking Angry back. Sadly, Dan missed many of his spots and Angry had to cover for him, but both Angry and the announcers were able to play Dan up and make him look like a dangerous competitor. In the end, Dan nailed a vicious implant DDT and made the pin. WINNER: [B]Delirious Dan [/B]in 10:11 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]B+[/COLOR] It looked like Richard Eisen was getting ready to announce what kind of match Eddie Peak and Chris Caulfield was going to have, but instead, he was interrupted by Tim Westybrook. Tim insisted that they announce who his opponent was going to be so whoever it was could prepare himself mentally for suffering the worst defeat in his career. 4) So instead, Darryl Devine, Rich Money, and Ricky Dale Johnson lined up. Once again, the omnipotent voice spoke, revealing how the fans voted: [B]Darryl Devine - 50%[/B] Ricky Dale Johnson - 16.6% Rich Money - 33.4% Darryl seemed a little stunned that he won, but he shook hands with RDJ. RDJ looked at Rich and laughed and walked away, leaving Rich to glare after him. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 5) Once that was over, the camera cut to Chris Caulfield and Eddie Peak. Eddie was boasting about how he wasn't worried about the match at all. Chris remained quiet, hands folded and touching his chin.

He pointed out that he was the one who handed over the SWF to Karma in the first place. He said it was because of him that Richard was kept out of his company for so long. So this was obviously Richard's way to try and break him. Joel said he wasn't worried. He said it didn't matter what monkey Richard brought in to do his dirty work. He said that he'd beaten most of the losers in the SWF and he was confident he could beat whoever this mystery opponent was too. He called whoever it was out. Joel stopped in his fevered pacing when a chorus of children's voices started reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. For some reason, they put a lot of emphasis on the last phrase ("with liberty and justice for all"). Then a rock rendition of the Star Spangled Banner kicked in. Out came Joel's opponent, and the crowd went wild. [B]"I don't believe it!" [/B]Jerry cried. [COLOR="DarkGreen"]"That's [B]Liberty[/B]! And look what's in his hands!"[/COLOR] Liberty waved to the crowd and then held up an Indian Strap. The announcers said that had been the clear favorite, garnering 58.3% of the vote, with an "I Quit" Match coming in at 25% and the cage match coming last with 16.7%. RATING: [COLOR="Blue"] B[/COLOR] for the challenge; [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] for the response 23) [B]LIBERTY vs. JOEL KOVACH [/B]in [COLOR="Purple"]an Indian Strap Match[/COLOR] These two really kicked the show up a few notches. They have great chemistry together and the match shone as a result. Once tied together, Joel surprised everyone by kicking off the match early. He knocked Liberty off his feet and ran for one of the corners. Liberty yanked hard on the strap and knocked Joel off his feet. The brawl continued with Liberty trying to get to the four corners to win that way while Joel tried to simply get Liberty down and pinned. There were a lot of spectacular spots and Liberty lived up to his reputation for taking monster bumps. In the end, though, Joel finally lost his temper and took Liberty down. Using the strap for extra leverage, he locked in the Kovach Krippler. Liberty started choking and quickly tapped out. WINNER: [B]Joel Kovach [/B]in 16:55 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A*[/COLOR] 24) But Joel refused to release the Krippler! He cinched up the strap even tighter and ignored the ref, who frantically tried to convince him to break the hold. Joel screamed in defiance even as Marc DuBois and the Bumfholes charged the ring and tried to get him to release it. Finally, Joel dropped it and stomped out of the ring. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B+[/COLOR] 25) Wanda Fish, Christian Faith, and Sam Keith were waiting backstage for the results of the voting. The omnipotent voice revealed: [B]Wanda Fish - 75%[/B] Sam Keith - 16.6% Christian Faith - 8.4% Wanda was excited. The other two weren't. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]A[/COLOR] 26) [B]ARCHANGEL (c) vs. WANDA FISH [/B]for [COLOR="Red"]the SWF World Heavyweight Championship[/COLOR] These two really took it up to another level from last month. They put together a match that had the fans screaming and begging for more. Archangel took an early control of the match. He knocked Wanda around the ring and tried to get an early pin, but she kicked out. He tried to take her down a few more times, only to have her kick out each time. Frustration began to mount, but then Wanda was able to take over. Wanda surprised everyone with the intensity of her offense. She actually got two successive two counts before Archangel started to recover. At that point, Marc DuBois charged the ring with chair in hand. He started to stalk around the ring, keeping out of sight of the ref. Wanda spotted him, though, and ordered him to the back. Marc was surprised, but Wanda repeated it. She turned around to find Archangel watching her. The two regarded each other for a moment. Archangel smiled, then Wanda did too. They nodded at each other and started circling each other. The match continued and at one point, Archangel got busted open. They continued to brawl until finally, Archangel managed to drop Wanda to the mat. He looked at her and then headed for the top rope. He wobbled a bit though ([COLOR="DarkGreen"]"Probably from blood loss,"[/COLOR] Peter speculated) and had to reach down to steady himself. He never saw it coming. Wanda kipped up and saw him trying to steady himself. She then charged the corner, leaping from the bottom rope to the top and the springboarding up to deliver a devestating Dish of the Day to a surprised Archangel. Archangel spun from the top turnbukle and hit the mat. Wanda vaulted up to the top turnbuckle and hit a perfect Shooting Star Press onto Archangel. She hooked his leg and 1... 2... 3... it was over. WINNER: [B]Wanda Fish [/B]in 19:36 RATING: [COLOR="Blue"]A*[/COLOR] 27) Wanda was celebrating with the Heavyweight Championship belt when she saw Archangel get up to his feet. Archangel wobbled a bit. Wanda chewed on her lower lip, then went over to him and stuck out her hand. Archangel considered it for a moment, then smiled and shook it vigorously. He then raised Wanda's hand in triumph. RATING: [COLOR="blue"]B[/COLOR] [B][U]THE AFTERMATH[/U][/B] I had been worried that the audience wouldn't think there were enough interviews and such, but I guess they were satisfied with Rich and Ricky's extended brawl along with the numerous vote revelations. Offhand, I'd guess that the final two matches really pushed us over the edge.

Man that was a sweet PPV I especially liked the Caulfied vs Peak match, but i was a bit surpised Wanda got the title, not that she'll be a bad champion just a little suprised. I was also suprised that Dan vs Gilmore got a better rating than Devine vs Westybrook.

Yes! Dan is a two time SWF 10-minute champion! I'm really confused as to the roster and the tag teams. Can you give a tag team update? And a roster list as follows? Main Event: Name(Heels in Red, Faces in Blue) Size Style Momentum Gimmick Rating Comments(list notable improvements in stats since the beginning of the game) ... It would really help me get into the diary more if I could relate to the wrestlers via their stats.

I've got a pretty good idea of what I think your workers are like but I to might like to see a good roster with pushes and gimmicks and what not. Actually I think I may not need to know stats but I'd certainly like to know wrstling styles.

man, Liberty, RDJ, BLZ Bubb (for a time), Rick Law... beyond Cornell, Nemesis and Squeeky (I believe you said he found his way out west) there can't be much left of TCW's main event scene, unless Tommy's builty up a few new guys into those spots that you haven't stolen yet.
