EVOLVE Pro Wrestling: Darwin Didn't Expect This [Thunderverse]


Recommended Posts

It always took a lot to surprise me. After eighteen years of working in the wrestling industry you learn to just take things as they come without blinking an eye, but I guess there's always gonna be an exception.

 

Ebony Sinclair, Bobby Valentine II, and Erin Cristoph meet in a room. It sounds like some smarks drunk attempt at a joke. A very bad joke that I'm having issues registering as reality. Thankfully Bobby is more than willing to do the talking.

 

Bobby: "So let me make sure we got this straight kid, because of how badly your last vampire movie did, you not only lost your acting career, but your girlfriend and the promise of a contract with the AWF. All in one week, all because of a movie being terrible?"

 

Erin: "Yep."

 

Bobby: "I kinda want to see that movie now."

 

I certainly registered that as I burst out laughing. Credit to the kid though, he didn't get mad, just rolled his eyes and continued with our meeting.

Erin: "Look, I invited you guys for a reason, so here it is. I love wrestling, and I want to get involved one way or another, but with my current situation nobody is wanting to take a chance on me. So I've decided to stop waiting and make my own move and open my own wrestling promotion, with you two as my creative board!"

 

Is it too late for this to be a joke yet?

Erin: "Now before you say anything, I'm using my own money, after "Dusk: Blood Bayou" I began saving up more, so I have plenty for us to get started and to get a starting roster. I just need you two to help me get the actual operations of the place rolling, and with your combined experience I'm confident we can make something big!"

 

Ebony: "It's great you've got this idea and all...but why us? Surely there are other candidates to choose from?"

 

Erin: "Well...there were...but you two were the only ones who accepted the offer. Everyone else either ignored me or just didn't trust working with the "Hollywood poster boy", but I mean it when I talk about how serious I am here. If anything, I can guarantee both of you pay for the first few months, so in case it fails and falls, you'll be covered via contract. What do you say guys?"

 

To my surprise, Bobby immediately nodded, a content look on his face.

 

Bobby: "Alright kid, I'm willing to give this crazy plan a shot. Ain't like I got anything to lose at this point, besides, I've been itching to get back to work again."

 

To be honest...he had a point. I wasn't getting many bookings ever since my return, so a chance to be able to be constantly around what I loved...I couldn't resist.

 

Ebony: "I'm in as well, seems like this could be worth the ride."

 

With that we exchanged smiles and handshakes, I could tell trust wasn't completely there between us, but we had time for that. I hope.

 

*****

 

OOC: With my winter break finally here, this is the start of my second diary, featuring a mod I've enjoyed a lot lately, the Thunderverse! This diary is meant to be more lighthearted than Technical Transformations has been, taking inspirations from diaries of writers like Voeltzwagon, and Uncrewed. There's plenty more to come for the intros, but since I'm currently making this at 3 AM and am wanting sleep, it's gonna be a few hours before everything is set for the first show preview. Keep in mind this isn't replacing Technical Transformations, but is mostly a side project I've been wanting to do for a while.

It didn't take too long for our first issue to pop up, though with how important our argument was, I shouldn't have been surprised. First champions are always a big deal, and for us to start on being a big deal ourselves we needed to choose wisely. Unfortunately it seemed Erin had a favorite already...

 

Erin: I'm telling you Ebony, Dwaine Kai should win the Prime Championship on our first show, I mean look at the guy, he's got everything to be our lead star!

 

Ebony: And I'm telling you that now isn't the right moment for him to be our champ! If we want to really make a good impact on our first show we need to impress! We need to do something interesting! Something that will make people want to come back next month! Just having Dwaine win will not make them want to return!

 

Erin: And I'm telling you that it will!

 

A loud bang on the table broke us from our staredown, both of us turning slowly to our third partner, Bobby V. I couldn't blame Bobby if he was angry with us, we had been here for three hours, two more than originally scheduled, and he'd been silent the entire time. But if he had any anger, he didn't show it, merely a small amused smile.

 

Bobby V: Now that I have your attention, hear me out. We have a good list of guys who could all be our first Prime Champion, however we also have another championship to take advantage of for our first show. If we really want to see what the fans want, I suggest that we give them a taste of our potential choices with promos and see how they react to them. At the same time, we give a good chunk of the night's action to our X-Division and really show how serious we are about those boys and the variety they bring to our product.

 

I nodded slowly, it didn't seem like we would reach a compromise on our first Prime Champion with just us three, but fan opinion would definitely help out in our final decisions. However, that left us with one other problem...

 

Bobby V: So we do we want as our first X-Division Champion then?

 

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Erin's toothy grin shine as he prepared to give us a speech all about his choice. With a groan I just put my head on the table, scowling as I heard the badly hidden chuckles from Bobby V as he pretended to cough. Guess I better call my husband, I'm going to be here for a while.

Looks really interesting! I'm not too well-versed in T-Verse but this one caught my eye. Also, Touchdown needs to be pushed to the moon!

 

And Earl Ray Travis!

 

Solid backstory, looking forward to the first show! And I love the fact that the Super TIGER Burberry alt I did just for a laugh has caught on. :p

EVOLVE Sunset Slam

http://i.imgur.com/a5EZgNh.jpg

August 19th, 2014

From the Gotham Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut

Attendance: 981

Announce Team: Gold Plated and Bobby V

http://i.imgur.com/hM9t30D.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/4OBNR0Y.jpg

 

Bobby V: Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to more than just the first ever Sunset Slam, but the first ever EVOLVE Pro Wrestling show in history! I'm Bobby Valentine II, and with me on your announce table is the fast talking, jaw jacking Gold Plated, give em a welcome Gold!

 

Gold: You don't have to tell me what to do V, I'm a crisp professional, even in an emo's paradise like this venue! But back to the matter at hand, we got a huge first night in store for you freaks and geeks, as our fly boys take the sky to decide who among them is the sky king! But before all that, we got a word from the boss, the MAN himself, Erin Cristoph!

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/8kfyPc3.jpg

 

The first segment in EVOLVE Pro Wrestling comes as a surprise to nobody, as Owner Erin Cristoph comes out to a roaring crowd, showing that even with the failure of "Dusk: Sparkle of Twilight", he's still a popular man.

 

Erin: Ladies and losers, welcome to EVOLVE Pro Wrestling! Owned, presented, and controlled by yours truly! You see, Hollywood didn't respect me enough, and the AWF, for all its glamour, they just couldn't handle a star of my caliber, so I decided to do what all great men do and take matters into their own hands! Tonight you will see the best that Erin Cristoph has to offer, so make sure you remember this night, because with or without you, evolution is going on!

 

Grade: 66

Triangle Terror Match 1

Super TIGER vs. Cruz Canedo vs. PINK Shotaro

http://i.imgur.com/IfAmwjN.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/P1kKntA.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/3DJgY8U.jpg

 

The first match of EVOLVE Pro Wrestling starts off with a strong showing, as all three men bring the best performances they can to the table, each one wanting to make a name as the first winner in EVOLVE history. Throughout the match PINK takes advantage of the slightly timid Cruz, unleashing his arsenal on the young gun. But his focus leaves him open for TIGER to get the opening he needed to maneuver him into a hold he's perfected, the TIGER Triangle! After a few seconds of struggling PINK taps, and we have our first competitor for the X-Division Championship!

 

Winner: Super TIGER by Submission at 8:33

Grade: 42

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

BV: And with that Super TIGER is flying high into our Triangle Terror Match for the X-Division Championship! But credit to Cruz and PINK, they put out a damn fine first showing.

 

GP: PINK had that match locked for a victory, but TIGER wanted to play sneaky and steal it from him! It's a shame when that happens, but I'll be soothed soon enough, because here comes Seven Brandt, and you know he's got something to say!

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/25DWEGj.jpg

 

Seven: My name, is Seven Brandt, and let me just start out and say that you people don't deserve me or my talent. I took a walk around this city earlier today, and you know what I saw? I saw a ghetto filled with druggies and drunks, each of you toiling away at your dead end jobs in this dead end state! How does it feel, knowing that while you kill your brain cells just to bother waking up tomorrow, I'm going to become a champion with nothing but my natural drive? Next month I show this city the strength of being straight-edge, and whether you like me or not, you'll realize truth in what I say.

 

Grade: 52

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

GP: Preach baby preach!

 

BV: That was soothing? The kid's a punk, plain and simple.

 

GP: You're just too behind the times V, you don't understand the meaning in Seven's message to these people.

 

BV: If that's true I don't want to understand. However I do want to see our next match!

Triangle Terror Match 2

Corvis Jones vs. Calaca vs. Touchdown

http://i.imgur.com/CUmCrPJ.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/8L991GV.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/VWj2wpo.jpg

 

While not as good as the previous match, this match had all it needed to get the crowd loving it. Corvis Jones started out with strong momentum that he never really lost, ending the efforts of Calaca and Touchdown with a Corvis Clash on the sporty luchador.

 

Winner: Corvis Jones by Pinfall at 10:11

Grade: 34

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

BV: While the kid puts me on edge, I gotta respect the showing he put out to get that victory. Without a doubt he's going to give TIGER a run for his money along with their third opponent later tonight.

 

GP: Corvis Jones is my pick to win it baby! The man has no fear, and plays by his own rules. TIGER better look out, because you know he's in the sights of "The Lone Gunman".

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/KUfOevG.jpg

 

With a sudden start the Gotham Theatre is filled with the sound of funk as Donny Chic struts his way to the ring, microphone in hand.

 

Chic: Hartford, Connecticut, you better get movin and groovin with ya boy here, because I got a message for your open ears!

 

Cut the music, cut the damn music!

 

http://i.imgur.com/Amgv38E.jpg

 

With a look of surprise Donny and the audience turn to the entrance ramp, seeing a frowning Dwaine Kai at the top, looking down at Donny with disdain as he peers over his sunglasses.

 

Kai: I'm sure as hell glad I got here before your circus began, but there's still something that needs to be done, and that is ask your fat funk ass who do you think you are?! This is my show, the show of the future, and let me tell you, disco is not the future, because like your career will soon be, disco is dead!

 

Chic: Now Dwaine, there ain't no need to be so cold baby, if you wanted to dance with Donny C. all ya had to do was ask. A friend and I are looking for some fools to style and profile on tonight, so you grab yourself a friend, preferably one with better fashion sense, and meet us here tonight. Ya dig?

 

Kai: The only thing I'm gonna dig, is my size 14 boot into that mug of yours, all night long, because as the ladies all over the world know, "The Hawaiian Superman" just don't stop!

 

Grade: 50

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

GP: You heard it here folks, the "Demon of Disco" and "Mr. Hawaii" himself are gonna grab some dance partners and boogie until the sun rises! I can't wait! What about you V?

 

BV: Only if we're done with the disco jokes, I heard enough of them from Dad forty years ago.

Triangle Terror Match 3

Schism vs. Halcón vs. J.T. Rush

http://i.imgur.com/kaI099w.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/i97cP0s.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/6QHI2W9.jpg

 

All three men are well seasoned high fliers, so it comes as no surprise to the crowd that this match starts off with a quick pace. However the full benefits of experience are given to Schism as he manages to hit not just one, but two Great Divide Deathdrops on each opponent, pinning J.T. Rush for the victory.

 

Winner: Schism by Pinfall at 9:45

Grade: 42

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

BV: With that win it's a battle of the men of mystery. Schism, TIGER and Corvis, all are men who not many people know much about, and the only thing that we do know, is that they can put on one hell of a showing.

 

GP: It's hard to choose a winner for the final Triangle Terror match Bobby, all three men could be amazing X-Division Champions, but that's the kind of quality in wrestlers that just makes EVOLVE so damn good.

 

BV: Speaking of good, we get to hear from the son of the man who is the living embodiment of good, Richie Santana Jr.!

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/pn3E5pP.jpg

 

Richie makes his way into the ring, the spitting image of his old man as he high fives some of the cheering audience, a lone mic in his hand.

 

Richie: Like my father before me I'm not a man of many words, so I'll be straight to the point about this. EVOLVE Pro Wrestling has a roster filled with talent, and you can bet that I'm itching to get into the ring with each and every one of the boys in the back! The Santana name means more than a legacy, it means a future as well, and as the proud bearer of that name, get ready for MY evolution, starting with the EVOLVE Prime Championship!

 

Grade: 37

 

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

BV: There you have it folks, Richie Santana Jr., and like his old man, a heart of the purest gold, but also of the brightest flame.

 

GP: He's gonna need that fire Bobby, because we've seen a lot of bad guys so far in EVOLVE, and you know for a fact they won't share Richie's compassion.

 

BV: Can't argue with you there Gold, but speaking of bad men, here comes Corvis Jones to start out our final Triangle Terror Match for the X-Division Championship!

Super TIGER vs. Corvis Jones vs. Schism

http://i.imgur.com/IfAmwjN.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/CUmCrPJ.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/kaI099w.jpg

 

Three of EVOLVE's best knew what was at stake here as they put on a match to be remembered, putting their skills to the test. TIGER had it hardest however, as he had to contend with the specializations of both opponents, from the technical talent of Corvis keeping him grounded, to the aerial counterattacks by Schism whenever he got a chance to head to the air. With quick wits TIGER finally got his opening, dodging a Torn Apart senton from Schism, bringing a fight on his own to Corvis Jones before locking the "Lone Gunman" into the TIGER Triangle! With nowhere to go Corvis cuts his losses and taps out, making Super TIGER the first X-Division Champion!

 

Winner and NEW X-Division Champion: Super TIGER by Submission at 12:13

Grade: 46

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

BV: Now that's a way to crown a champion! Especially our very first champion in both the X-Division, and EVOLVE history!

 

GP: TIGER better celebrate as much as he can, because I see the evil in those eyes of Jones and Schism, and you can bet that both men will want to get rematches with our new champ.

 

BV: And they'll damn well get them, TIGER is a fighter, and much like he fought to win that title, he'll fight to keep it!

Once again Donny Chic dances his way down to the ring, only this time he isn't alone as "Charisma Bomb" Lenny Rhodes struts by his side, smiling at his partner's antics. Once in the ring Donny pulls out a mic straight from his fro, the crowd loving everything he does.

 

Chic: Dudes and divas, let me introduce you to my partner in dance and style here, "Charisma Bomb" Lenny Rhodes, and when he's with your truly, the "Demon of Disco", we are the ever ready to burst, Disco Bomb! But we ain't here to talk about us all night, as fun as that would be, no baby, instead we're here to style all over Dwaine Kai and his partner. So come on out Dwaine, and let's get it on! OW!

 

http://i.imgur.com/Amgv38E.jpg

 

With a smirk on his face Kai comes out, seemingly happy at the partner Donny chose.

 

Kai: Not so fast jabroni. You and Madonna over there can wait your turn for my introduction of my partner. A man who is both style and strength, straight from the bright lights of Hollywood, California, the Hollywood Giant!

 

http://i.imgur.com/gk1PgUA.jpg

 

With a slow but steady walk, the Hollywood Giant comes out and stands next to Dwaine, a raised eyebrow on both men's faces as they look to the ring at their shocked opponents.

 

Kai: You boys better get ready for a premiere you'll never forget, because Planet Hollywood is here for their spotlight!

 

Grade: 47

 

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

BV: Guess big money means big men huh Gold?

 

GP: Show some respect Bobby V! That man is Ed Brody, son of a Hollywood legend, and him being here means big things for EVOLVE Pro Wrestling...no pun intended.

 

BV: Size means nothing if he doesn't know how to use it, something I've seen many men fail to do over the years. Whether or not Giant can keep up with Disco Bomb will make all the difference here.

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

Disco Bomb vs. Planet Hollywood

http://i.imgur.com/KUfOevG.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/Sm41RMc.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/Amgv38E.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/gk1PgUA.jpg

 

Disco Bomb are unprepared but they start out great, taking advantage of a trash talking Dwaine Kai for the first half of the match, alternating between themselves to dish out their punishment. But a sudden interference in the form of a giant sized fist stops their momentum, giving it to Planet Hollywood who take their own turns taking apart Lenny Rhodes. Credit to Donny, he attempts to rescue his partner, but a second giant fist puts the "Disco Devil" to rest, leaving Lenny vulnerable to a Surf Bomb from Kai, giving Planet Hollywood the victory.

 

Winners: Planet Hollywood by Pinfall at 13:45

Grade: 38

 

http://i.imgur.com/i2w6pmG.jpg

 

GP: Yes! Yes! Hollywood shines tonight baby!

 

BV: Give credit to Disco Bomb before you go flapping your lips kid, they took Dwaine to school and made him pay for his words. But Giant went above and beyond, showing that he's more dangerous than we thought, he's got size and skill, a dangerous combo for anyone that fights him.

 

GP: He's gonna be one hell of a phenomenon that's for sure, and I can't wait to see him putting fools down, one by one! With that said it's been an amazing night ladies and gentlemen, we'll be back next month with Downfall at-SCREEECCHHHH

An awful sound plays throughout the Theatre as the lights go out, surprising the audience as some yell in fear, others in excitement at the sudden blackout. One by one, lights come on, but only enough for the crowd to see some of the ring, and the shadowed figure standing in middle of it. With arms spread wide, and eyes closed, the man waits until a final light, the one in the center shines on him before opening his eyes and staring at the crowd. As a loud chorus of cheers burst from the crowd as they recognize the man as he lowers his arms, grabbing a microphone from a pocket of his long jacket.

Kris: My burning day is coming, the day where I will bathe in the inferno and emerge reborn! And with my rebirth will come an evolution of your world, a world where the Phoenix is perched on top of the highest mountain where it belongs! Because what better being to rule upon your doomed lives, than one that cannot share in your fate?

 

A being, who can never die.

Pretty Positives

After the show we decided to wait to see the fallout throughout the industry of our first show. I wasn't expecting big changes because of it, we were a small company in New England after all, but the fact we were a new player to the game definitely had to have caused some stirrings. All I was hoping for however was that we made good profit, some of our boys did not work that cheap. Thankfully I had little to worry about on that end, as I found out from an excited Erin at our meeting the first Wednesday of September.

 

 

Erin: I can't believe how great we did this month! We made positive growth in profits and popularity!

 

Bobby: Calm down kid, it's a good start, but remember this is just our first month. We've got a long road ahead of us and there's plenty that could go wrong. For now let's just take a look at the last show, it went great, but there's definitely room for improvement.

 

Bobby wasn't wrong, Richie's promo as well as our main event were kinda disappointing, but in Richie's case that wasn't a surprise, the kid was like his old man to a T. Our main event however, that was more Erin wanting to show off his pet project in Dwaine, and while it wasn't a bad idea, it was still too soon to try making this guy THE face of our company.

 

Ebony: Next month we really need to stun the crowd with a better main event, especially since we're going to have our main championship on the line. Another thing we need is ways to help out our guys with promos, I'm thinking managers or valets personally.

 

Erin: I'm way ahead of you one that! Check out our latest signings!

 

http://i.imgur.com/EhQxope.jpg

 

Erin: I found this girl on accident while doing a search of my own name to see what gossip news might've popped up due to our show, turns out, she and I share first names. But from what I've found she's perfect as a good girl valet for some of our babyfaces.

 

I had to admit, Erin did a good job with this girl, we might have to change her name, but since she mainly worked down south I'm sure nobody in our area would notice if she went from Erin Scott to something else. However my impressed feeling quickly changed to shock as I saw who his next signing was.

 

Ebony: Erin...is that...who I think it is?! How the hell did you get her to sign for us? And more importantly, for how much?!

 

Bobby: Who?!

 

I slap the photo down in front of Bobby, still not able to believe at who we now had on our list of valets.

 

http://i.imgur.com/3bxruOC.jpg

 

Ebony: Serenity Barrera! She's no Terry Thunder but she's got firm connections in Hollywood and the AWF, hell her best friend is their very first women's champion!

 

Bobby gave a slow whistle at that, now understanding the level of signing behind Serenity. The girl was a great talent entertainment wise, so using her as a valet would give any of our boys a great boost in promos.

 

Erin: A few years back I did her a favor and got her a part in one of my "Dusk" movies when she was trying to be an actor, so not only does she owe me, she also doesn't hate my face like the rest of Hollywood. Put both together and you got a great quality valet who is willing to work at a discount. However said discount is only going to last six months, so if we plan on using her to help someone out, we need to do it soon.

 

Bobby: I say put her with Richie, with the right backstory and planning, she could really be a good focal point for storylines. Same with Erin once we figure out what to do with her or anybody else we sign up.

 

Ebony: Anybody else? Don't you think we're doing a bit much? It is our second month after all.

 

Bobby: We're doing good financially, and since we have Serenity at a lower rate, we could probably sign one more valet/manager, preferably one for one of our heels.

 

Erin: Add an interview girl to that as well, because of how well we did, the theatre is willing to let us install some custom screens from now on. So we can do backstage interviews which are sure to help our guys out as well with practicing promos.

 

Ebony: So one more heel manager/valet, and an interviewer for promos. Are we good then with signings?

 

Thankfully I got agreements, while I trusted Erin with our profits, but I didn't want us to go too far over our heads. We weren't anywhere close to the budget that someplace like the AWF had, and we were pushing it enough last month. Still...a lot of the boys really did need help with their talking, and it'd be nice to not be the only woman around...the only issue was getting to find someone in two weeks time.

EVOLVE Downfall

http://i.imgur.com/s0vtixd.jpg

September 19th, 2014

From the Gotham Theatre in Hartford, Connecticut

Attendance: 1,000 (Sold Out!)

Announce Team: Gold Plated and Bobby V

http://i.imgur.com/yEIJCzq.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/EI2C6JT.jpg

 

Gold Plated:Coming to in the Gotham Theatre with a sold out crowd, it is the second EVOLVE Pro Wrestling show, Downfall! It is your boy Gold Plated, and with me is the aging but still raging, Bobby V!

 

Bobby V: Gotta say, at least you're creative when you run that mouth of yours, but enough about black holes, I wanna talk about the main event for our first ever EVOLVE Prime Champion!

 

GP: We'll you're gonna have to wait just a sec, because I'm getting word that our boss wants to talk to this crowd first. Two months in a row of the Boss and the good wrestling? These people are getting spoiled Bobby!

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/dqtCGh9.jpg

 

A sold out crowd in the Gotham Theatre cheer as the still not-yet faded movie star struts his way to the center of the ring, occasional cheers of "Christoph bites!" making their way into the mix of sound.

 

Does your man not deliver or what?! Last month I gave you a hell of a show, and tonight isn't gonna be any different! Last time I gave you the king of our skies in Super TIGER, tonight is about finding the leader of the evolution of pro wrestling! Kris Phoenix, Seven Brandt, and Richie Santana Jr., don't disappoint me boys, because the boss is always watching.

 

Grade: 66

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

GP: Ohhh boy! The boss has got me fired up here tonight Bobby!

 

BV: That answers a few questions I never wanted to ask.

 

GP: Oh hush fool, let's just get to the first match!

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

Earl Ray Travis vs. Corvis Jones

http://i.imgur.com/YOLEVJq.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/ItXOKCI.jpg

 

Jones took the fan favorite hillbilly to school in this one, outclassing him in almost every way possible, but in Earl's defense, the kid would not stay down. Almost every impact he took, he took with determination to stay in the match, at least until a Corvis Clash finally put down the heart of Travis.

 

Winner: Corvis Jones by Pinfall at 5:40

Grade: 30

 

Before he can go anywhere however, he's stopped by an emerging figure dressed in a shining robe, and boy is he angry.

 

http://i.imgur.com/hGOPKoU.jpg

 

Lothario: This is it?! You're the man they told me about, the one who shares me name?! A backwater, loser hillbilly who probably can't even count the teeth he has missing?!

 

Let me tell you something boy, it disgusts me that Travis is part of your identity, because that name is going to be iconic you hear me?! That name is going to be my legacy, a legacy that will be more than "Ravishing", but a legacy that will be known as "Natural". Thankfully, Mr. Cristoph is a smart man that knows greatness when he sees it, and has graciously given me a match tonight. So I want you to stay at ringside, pay close attention, and watch as "Natural" Travis Lothario teaches a lesson.

 

Grade: 12

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

BV: Yep, that's a Lothario alright, cocky, nasty, and odds are, damn good at wrestling.

 

GP: Show some respect Bobby V, you heard the man, he's a "Natural"!

 

BV: He is indeed a natural. Natural pain in the neck.

Travis Lothario vs. Cruz Canedo

http://i.imgur.com/hGOPKoU.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/Ubx6okU.jpg

 

Travis did his best to make this as little as a wrestling match as possible, and more of a showcase of his own skills. While arrogant, the young Lothario did have the skills to match his talk, putting Canedo away after making him submit to the Lothario Death Lock.

 

Winner: Travis Lothario by Submission at 5:22

Grade: 30

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

GP: That is a legend in the making Bobby, and only at EVOLVE Pro Wrestling will you see him rise firsthand. Earl better take this lesson to heart, otherwise he might be in Cruz's place next time.

 

BV: Travis may not just be all bark and no bite, but that doesn't mean he isn't as sneaky as his old man. If he does decide to teach a more personal lesson to Earl, I can guarantee it'll be done when he isn't looking.

 

GP: Always gotta be so negative. Maybe this will cheer you up, we get to see our brand new interview lady, Hannah Gold! Take it away baby!

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/RgMkP8e.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/hUUlRRv.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/m2a66HJ.jpg

 

With a wink to the camera Hannah introduces her guests, Richie Santana Jr., and to the surprise of everyone else, Serenity Barrera.

 

Gold: Now I gotta ask the question I'm sure is burning in our audience right now, what are you doing here in EVOLVE Serenity?

 

Barrera: Visiting actually, I met Richie and his dad after a gig in SoCal, and they were both great company. So when I heard Richie was going to fight for a top championship I had to come in person to wish him luck, but with skills like his, I doubt he needs much from me.

 

Gold: I'm loving your confidence Serenity, but how about you Richie? Both Seven and Kris are pretty vicious guys, that's gotta be doing something to your thoughts.

 

Santana: In all honesty, it's making me more pumped. The training my father has given me was for scenarios just like this, where everything is on the line, and my back is against the wall, all that matters is what I do in that ring. With my fans in that crowd, and the support of great friends like Serenity, I will become the EVOLVE Prime Champion, and evolution will go on hand in hand with the new phase of the Santana name.

 

Grade: 39

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

BV: Richie is giving me flashbacks here, pure shades of his old man, with the fire to fight and give every bit of life he has in that ring. I think he may win it tonight Gold.

 

GP: He's going to need every single degree of heat, because you know Kris Phoenix and Seven Brandt are going to bring infernos of their own. There's pride on the line that's as valuable as that EVOLVE Prime Championship to those men. But when you're in a competitive place like EVOLVE, pride can sometimes be all you got to keep you rolling.

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

American Eagle vs. Calaca

http://i.imgur.com/sb7pTlk.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/KC4I4Pq.jpg

 

Simply put, this match was great, with such amazing fluidity Eagle and Calaca took each other to the limit. Both in the sky and on the ground they kept even, but in the end Eagle was just one step ahead of Calaca, countering a Skeleton Bomb into a hard hitting Eagle's Claw, pinning Calaca right after jaw and elbow meet.

 

Winner: American Eagle by Pinfall at 9:24

Grade: 37

 

After a friendly handshake for a well fought match, Eagle is left alone in the ring, preparing to walk back, but as he rolls out the ring he is jumped from the crowd by another masked man!

 

http://i.imgur.com/zEqvgeA.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/ircuW8Z.jpg

 

The man punches the young Eagle over and over, yelling something in Spanish with each punch given. Another figure climbs over the railing with a smile on her face, seeming to egg the masked man on with his assault, only to command him to stop as security arrives. With a smirk she says something in Spanish before walking up the ramp, her ally trailing behind her as EVOLVE staff check on Eagle's condition.

 

Grade: 14

GP: Bobby isn't that one of our own guys? I swear I've seen him in the back before! The girl with him though...she's certainly new to me.

 

BV: New to me as well, though judging by her enthusiasm with this sickening display, I'd say she probably has a lot to do with this. You're right on the assailant however, that's El Ardor. I heard he's been angry about something, but what did Eagle do to anger him enough to deserve this?

BV: It's time for Super TIGER to prove his worth as our first X-Division Champion, this is his first defense, and against a man like Schism it won't be easy.

 

GP: TIGER may be the champ, but Schism has years of experience over him, in a one-on-one scenario that may just be all the difference Schism needs to win that title.

Super TIGER vs. Schism

http://i.imgur.com/N1MwsSe.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/K8AfJmx.jpg

 

Schism started this match off hot, fueled by anger at having been beaten last month, making the initial start a bit shaky. However this time around their main fight was more even, as the previous variable of Corvis Jones and his technical style were no longer there prevent them from heading to the air. However TIGER had technical training of his own, and used it to his advantage, grounding Schism when possible, finally locking in the TIGER Triangle for his first title defense!

 

Winner: Super TIGER by Submission at 13:12

Grade: 54

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

BV: People talk about setting standards, well I think Super TIGER is setting one up for all of the X-Division.

 

GP: I have to be impressed, TIGER and Schism set up a high bar for the others in the division to match. But there's plenty of dudes out for gold, the question is if Super TIGER can beat them all. Speaking of gold, we got Hannah Gold in her interview stage with the victorious Planet Hollywood!

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

http://i.imgur.com/RgMkP8e.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/ccFog3Y.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/uW7T3NW.jpg

 

Gold: Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time, Dwaine Kai and the Hollywood Giant, Planet Hollywood! Now Dwaine, you've got a ton of momentum on your side after your victory last month, but Donny Chic might come tonight with new intensity, does that worry you?

 

Dwaine: Intensity? What intensity could a man like Donny Chic have? What will he double the speed he shakes his hips next time he dances his ass to the ring? He's a joke, Lenny Rhodes is a joke, and to be honest, this match is gonna be a joke. Because not only will I beat Donny Chic 1, 2, 3, in that ring, but Hollywood Giant is gonna give them both a punchline they'll never forget.

 

Giant: Last month I showed EVOLVE a new type of giant! I'm not just big, but baby I'm bad, I'm beautiful, because I am Hollywood! This month, you see Dwaine Kai showing the world the power of the future, a future you better be ready for, before it smacks you in the face!

 

Grade: 44

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

GP: Dwaine's got a point Bobby, what good is an angry man that dances disco gonna do in the wrestling ring?

 

BV: Let's not forget, Donny is a wrestler that dances. He isn't a dancer that wrestles, he's got this sport in his heart, and he's as human as anyone else, the kid has gotta have some anger and intensity, it's probably just gonna show up differently.

 

GP: Well let's hope whatever he brings it'll be enough to stop Hollywood, Lenny Rhodes alone won't be enough against that mammoth!

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

Dwaine Kai (w/Hollywood Giant) vs. Donny Chic (w/Lenny Rhodes)

http://i.imgur.com/ccFog3Y.jpg w/ http://i.imgur.com/uW7T3NW.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/7skbPZK.jpg w/ http://i.imgur.com/A2hheRE.jpg

 

Seeming to prove Dwaine right, Donny came out as he usually does, grooving and moving his way into the ring, the crowd still loving his style. With a smirk Dwaine mocks Donny's dancing, only to get dropped by a sudden punch from Donny. From there the fun and games are over as Donny shows a new focus this time around, wearing down Dwaine little by little thanks to his speed.

 

However quick thinking by the Giant leads to him bellowing at the "Demon of Disco" from the apron, distracting Chic and the referee long enough for a vicious low blow by Kai. With the ball back in his court Dwaine takes Donny to task, mocking him in between moves with occasional bad dancing. This proves to be part of a game plan however as Hollywood stalks to the side of the ring facing the ramp, fist at the ready as Dwaine whips Donny toward him, dancing obnoxiously in front of the referee to distract him.

 

But just as the big man's fist rears back, his jaw takes a kick from Lenny, a sharp smack sounding throughout the Theatre! Thinking the sound was Donny Chic meeting a ham-sized fist, Dwaine turns, only to take a wicked clothesline from Donny filled with momentum! Positioning himself right, Donny dances patiently as he waits for Kai to slowly rise up, a big stomp being the only signal to the crowd of what is coming.

 

1!

 

2!

 

3!

 

4!

 

And with the count of five he hit the final stomp and ran, his knee connecting with Kai's face and making him Listen to the Music! A pin for Donny Chic!

 

Winner: Donny Chic by Pinfall at 13:55

Grade: 46

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

BV: Way to go Donny! A good old fashioned knee to the mouth never fails when it comes to mouths as big as Dwaine Kai's!

 

GP: I can't believe you're cheering this Bobby! First Lenny kicks Hollywood without any cause, and then Donny takes advantage of a concerned Dwaine and clotheslines him! Talk about dirty team tactics.

 

BV: I think we can agree on that last sentence, but for different reasons. Regardless here's something that will make you smile, Hannah's got Seven Brandt backstage, ready for an interview. Now where did I leave my earplugs...

http://i.imgur.com/RgMkP8e.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/v0cnYIe.jpg

 

Gold: That's right Gold and Bobby, I've got one of the three competitors in our main event right here. Since you're a pretty opinionated man Seven we wanna know, what are your feelings concerning your opponents tonight?

 

Brandt: In regards to Kris Phoenix and Richie Santana Jr, I respect them for not giving into the vices this city has drowned itself in. But aside from that I'm hardly concerned, Richie Santana can talk about his inner fire, Kris Phoenix can talk about a rebirth through inferno, but neither of them have my drive. If we're gonna talk about fire, mine burns brightest, but that's all because of everything I threw into it to keep it alive. You people know nothing about that kind of sacrifice, that kind of pain, but you'll at least get a taste of what true strength is tonight. That title is coming home with me, like me or not, you all will respect me.

 

Grade: 57

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

BV: A lot of fire metaphors tonight.

 

GP: Really Bobby?! A powerful talk with Seven Brandt just occurred, and all you get out of it is that?

 

BV: I've seen a lot of guys say those words, always different sentences, but the same meanings. There's a spark there that makes me think somehow he's different, but until he proves it, he's a dime a dozen punk.

 

GP: Jeez. Grumpy much? Maybe this video will help.

A video plays, opening on a lovely meadow, the camera focusing on a small bunny running through the field as a man with a deep voice sighs happily. All throughout the Theatre classical music plays, finishing the scene with a relaxing touch.

Things quickly go south as the entire field explodes, yes including the bunny, and heavy metal seems to play from everyone, the man's deep voice being put to good use as he narrates the words smacking into the scorched earth.

GP: With matching company colors like that, I wouldn't be surprised if he chased after the Prime Championship, but that is then, we have to focus on the now. It's time Bobby! Phoenix, Santana and Brandt for the EVOLVE Prime Championship!

Triangle Terror Match

Richie Santana Jr. vs. Kris Phoenix vs. Seven Brandt

http://i.imgur.com/hUUlRRv.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/LLJIoCh.jpg vs. http://i.imgur.com/v0cnYIe.jpg

 

The time was finally here, and sure enough all three men made the most of it, each showing off their different styles as they tried to gain an edge. Richie with the technical skills taught and no doubt inherited from his father, Kris with some serious speed, as more often than he would use dives and other aerial maneuvers to keep both his opponents down. Brandt kept to his brawling favorites, but to his credit he hung well with Richie in various chains, his ground based offense proving useful against Phoenix as well, keeping the man down most of the match.

 

Seven seemed unstoppable as he kept his pace set, a kick there, a punch there, a slam, a clothesline, bit by bit he wore both men down, but even he couldn't stop them as they gave him a suplex together, crashing the "Philly Fiend" and his momentum. After a sudden start at their realization of working together, they continued the match, Richie gaining control as he adapted Brandt's previous strategy of keeping him down. After a good routine of holds to wear down Phoenix, Richie prepared to end the match, climbing the turnbuckle for the Flying Crossbody his father made famous. But as soon as he pointed down at Kris, the lights went out.

 

And when they came back on Richie Santana Jr had his throat in the grip of a man standing on the apron, but as quick as the sight came, it ended as Richie received a vicious chokeslam onto the ringside mat.

 

http://i.imgur.com/9esDqvh.jpg

 

In the ring a recovered Seven just stared, wondering what the hell just happened and why. With a sudden start he remembered the presence of Phoenix and began to look at his remaining opponent, only to turn right into a From The Ashes, his head slamming into the mat! With Seven down at his feet, and a broken Richie Santana Jr on the ringside floor, his assailant silently gazing, Kris covers Seven for the pin, a crazed but satisfied look in his eyes as he the referee counts to three, granting the win and Prime Championship to Kris Phoenix.

 

Winner and NEW EVOLVE Prime Champion: Kris Phoenix

Grade: 71 (MOTN!)

 

http://i.imgur.com/t4b3k2B.jpg

 

BV: We've got some dark days ahead of us kid. Phoenix as champion is bad enough...but with a monster like that stalking around...I'm concerned about what he'll do next.

 

GP: One thing at a time Bobby V. For now, we have a our first ever Prime Champion granted to us after one hell of a match. But what that...thing did to Richie...

 

BV: We've got some of our best medical personal on him, with security there as well in case that bastard tries to do a repeat. He won't be down for long, if anything I expect to see him back next month, fire burning brighter than ever for payback.

 

GP: Until then we have to sign out for the night, it's been a wild ride, and it's only going to continue as we go onto to next month for New England Nightmare! Goodnight folks!

The Pros and Cons of Attention

It was nice of the Gotham Theatre to give us our own office/meeting room in the building, while it wasn't the prettiest venue, it certainly had its appeal in the dark design. But today I wasn't here for appreciating our new meeting place, today I was here for business, or as it was put by Donny Chic over the phone, "a meeting of importance." I was just surprised he brought Super TIGER with him, if anything, that's when began to get worried.

 

Chic: I'm sorry for being so vague over the phone Mrs. Ebony, but this is something better explained in person, especially from both of us.

 

Ebony: Just Ebony is fine Donny, I'm just curious as to what the news is, especially since I know you signed a non-exclusive contract with DRAGON the week of Downfall.

 

Chic: Well actually, that's part of what my news is. You see, I didn't just get to re-sign myself to a contract, but I also got DRAGON Michinoku himself to sign on to the formation of a working deal with EVOLVE!

 

I whistled at that, DRAGON Michinoku was the owner of DRAGON Pro Wreslting, the country's third biggest player in the wrestling industry, and our top worry since day one of planning. Having a working deal would definitely ease on fears of an X-Division raid by the high flying company.

 

Ebony: That's amazing Donny! But why tell me and not Erin? He's the owner. Hell, why not come telll us himself?

 

The two men in front of me exchanged looks before Donny shrugged, giving the floor to TIGER.

 

TIGER: Well, DRAGON doesn't really know you or Mr. Cristoph that well, so he let us make the decision on who to call since he figured you'd be more likely to trust us than him. This is especially his concern in regards to the rest of our news to tell you.

 

Ebony: I'm going to take a guess and say this is the bad news, since a working deal with DRAGON is pretty good news.

 

TIGER: Considering Michinoku himself called this a warning, you've guessed right. According to some dirtsheet guys he's got working for him, there's been a lot of buzz among the other promotions concerning EVOLVE. They see the popularity rise as a huge threat, and they're not exactly kind about their opinions on it.

 

Ebony: So when you say promotions...exactly how many are feeling hostile towards us?

 

TIGER: Five. SUX, Golden Age, Tennessee, The Club, and even Legacy all the way in Puerto Rico. They feel you'll take their workers, or their take their positions on the totem pole, which admittedly EVOLVE has started to do.

 

He was right, the monthly reports came out a few days ago, and we had jumped from #5 to #1 in the Tri-State. I had expected maybe Golden Age to have a problem with us, maybe even DRAGON itself since we were right next to their stomping grounds, but Tennessee and The Club? Those promotions had television shows to their names!

 

Ebony: Why is DRAGON wanting to help us? If our growth is such a big concern for five other companies to dislike us, why isn't he leading them?

 

TIGER: Apparently the boss likes your Division attempts, he said it reminded him of United Japan Promotions before they started to focus hard on their heavyweight talent. Personally, I think he wants to see you succeed so he has more to rub into UJP's face. Imagine, an American company led by an actor doing what the "Pride of Japan" couldn't? Boss would be celebrating for weeks.

 

While it wasn't selfless like I had hoped, it was better to have DRAGON Pro-Wrestling by our side than looming over us as a potential executioner.

 

Ebony: Well I can only hope we give him that celebration then. Thanks for the info you two, it's definitely worrying, but at least we know who to look out for.

 

With that and a quick exchange of my number for Donny to give to Michinoku, I was left alone in the office, phone in hand. I wasn't sure how Erin or Bobby would handle this. It was so much, so fast. With a small sigh I dialed Erin's number.

Erin: Hey Ebony! What's up? We don't usually start finalizing the card until next week!

 

Ebony: You're gonna want to come to the office Erin, and call Bobby too, I'm already here. I've got some pretty good news, and I've got bad news.

Firstly, I want to say that I just LOVE your diary.

 

As a T-Verse fanatic, but a very poor storyline writer, I'm always impressed when somebody brings this universe "to life".

 

To answer your concern, I'm perfectly fine with the way you write your stories and show.

 

Lastly, I really like your choice of workers. A lot of great in-ring workers and some charismatic guys in the mix.

Did you use the preset product of Evolve ?

 

Prediction Key

 

EVOLVE Prime/X-Division Championship

Kris Phoenix © vs. Super TIGER ©

Comments: No choice here, because I can't see anything but a no contest here.

 

Trick or Treat Match

Donny Chic vs. Richie Santana Jr. vs. Dwaine Kai vs. Seven Brandt

Comments:

 

Lenny Rhodes vs. Hollywood Giant

Comments: Just because Rhodes is one of the rare workers in your roster that I dislike.

 

Calaca vs. El Ardor

Comments: El Ardor has a storyline with American Eagle, and Calaca has a losing streak. There is always the risk of an intervention by Eagle, but as a face I tend to see a confrontation after the bout. (Maybe to help a beaten down Calaca.)

 

Eddy Orion and Sébastien Lejosne vs. Halcón and J.T. Rush

Comments: Halcon, JT Rush and Orion are three great young wrestlers, but there is a reason why Sébastien is and will ALWAYS BE in his brother's shadow.

 

Bonus

 

1. What do you think the prize will be for the winner of the Trick or Treat Match?

- A title opportunity

 

2. Who do you think will be the loser of the match?

- A "protected" Dwaine Kai.

 

3. Who do you think is The Warrior's debut opponent? (Use the roster list on the first page for choices.)

But a big temper also comes with that size, and it was all the difference when a huge chop to the chest sent Lenny down to the mat. True to his word, Giant put the pain onto Rhodes, before giving him a full force Silver Screen Chokeslam, giving Planet Hollywood the first victory of the night.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner: Hollywood Giant by Pinfall at 11:15</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 40</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/BuL1fqP.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong>GP: Done and done!

Simply chaos, the driving desire to see what the prize is made this match go from a silent standoff with each man in his respective corner, to an all out war. A war that only got worse after the first chair got brought out by Dwaine Kai and an interfering Hollywood Giant, keeping all three other men down for the first time in the matchup. Richie Santana would become the second man to do so not too long after, giving Flying Crossbodies to everyone from seemingly everywhere. But Richie's breath and ovation didn't last long as the lights went out, only to return with a repeat of the scene of last month in the ring, Richie in the position for another ending chokeslam.</p><p> </p><p> <span>http://i.imgur.com/6DHhXEv.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> But Serenity comes from ringside, stopping history from happening again as she smacks the masked man with a steel chair! While he lets go of Richie's throat, he isn't fazed as he turns to the Latina slowly, his hand twitching as he seems to evaluate her before nodding, the lights blacking out once more. And when they come on, all that's left is a recovering Richie Santana Jr, Serenity and the masked man gone without a trace.</p><p> </p><p> With a yell of Serenity's name Richie is back to his senses, but those soon leave as Brandt takes advantage of the second generation wrestler's plight once again. With a vicious Seventh Sign to Richie's face, he prepares to pin Santana, only to get hit with a second Listen to the Music by Donny, fresh off a first to Kai on the outside!

You win the mystery prize, and let me tell you, it's not something that comes by easy, because it is from me! Your prize is one request, not for just a title shot, not for just a bonus to your pay, but anything, within reason of course, from me. As long as it is within my vast power, you can ask for it Donny, so what will it be?</p><p> </p><p> <strong><em>Panting, Donny looks from Erin to the crowd around him, only for his eyes to focus on a recovering Dwaine Kai, with Hollywood Giant helping him up.</em></strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Chic:</strong> You know, as much as I'd love a title shot, I know I wouldn't win it. Not because of my skills, those are as groovy as can be! But because of this fool and his gorilla right there. So Mr. Cristoph, in two months, I want a match with Dwaine Kai, in a steel cage!

While it has been a short time, they've done a lot in establishing themselves and the EVOLVE name as high quality.

As if making it their mission to show off they go through multiple styles, brawling, pure mat wrestling, and of course their specialties, aerial combat. However with so much on the line things can't stay civil for long, as their fight spreads in and out of the ring, their moves and strikes getting more vicious every passing minute.</p><p> </p><p> It all comes to a head after a second From The Ashes fails to keep TIGER down for the pin, leading to a (more) crazed Kris Phoenix screaming at Referee Jacob Loeb. In his anger TIGER rolls him up, the pin tight as Loeb counts with a smile.</p><p> </p><p> 1!</p><p> </p><p> 2!</p><p> </p><p> Phoenix kicks out! He kicks out with a deranged shout, only to leap at TIGER, causing them both to fall out of the ring! Yet the twisted man from the flames shows no signs of stopping as he drags TIGER to the announce table, placing his opponent on it as Bobby and Gold Plated abandon their station. With a mad cackle Kris goes under the ring, and pulls out a ladder from its depths before setting it up, looming over the prone form of TIGER.</p><p> </p><p> With a yell at Referee Loeb, whose trying to tell Kris to put the ladder away, Phoenix begins to climb slowly, but TIGER is stirring, registering his situation as his eyes open, quick as he can, he begins climbing the best he can to match Phoenix's pace! Intense determination is matched with even levels as the two staredown at the very top, but it's soon replaced with a brawl in the air! Even with Loeb counting they don't care, as both men trade blows at the top of the ladder, determined to knock the other off! But it's Phoenix who breaks the stalemate as he grabs TIGER and leaps from the ladder, a From The Ashes from the top and onto the announce table with a crash, breaking it and possibly their bodies! With neither man moving Loeb acts, counting down until both, either, or neither man would stand.</p><p> </p><p> 1! 2! 3! 4! 5!</p><p> </p><p> 6!</p><p> </p><p> 7!</p><p> </p><p> 8!</p><p> </p><p> 9!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>10! </strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>It's a draw!</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> Draw by Double Stoppage at 21:36</strong></p><p><strong> STILL Champion: Kris Phoenix/Super TIGER</strong></p><p><strong> Grade: 71 (MOTN!)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/BuL1fqP.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <strong>GP: Wow.

As always any feedback is appreciated, especially with some font changes I've made to this entry. Hopefully it makes reading things a bit better, I know it used to bother me a bit.</p>
