The one with a winner who wasn't even in the damn match

RTG Wrestling: Now Or Never - Results

RTG’s 5th show opened with our very own man of God and authority figure Father Milo Augustini welcoming the fans. A true man of the people, he walked up into the stands, pulled a bottle of red wine from within his priestly robes, and began sharing mid-promo. You can afford such luxuries when your attendance is only 15 people. Choosing a seat next to a cute redhead, he talked about Tommy Kim’s big World Trophy shot tonight. Suddenly a pissed off Aaron Draven appeared and began ranting. Suffice to say he wasn’t thrilled that his World Trophy shot last time ended in a draw. He demanded a rematch, using the kind of insults that would normally make a man of the cloth blush. But not Father Milo, who once tried drowning a guy in a church toilet for stealing from the collection plate. Milo told Draven he’d already had his shot, he’d have to wait and pray for another chance. Draven went crimson with anger, saying he has a plan to force Father Milo to grant him the shot he feels he deserves. Father Milo threw the wine bottle at him, missing by a whisker. Draven got the message and scarpered. Angle rating: 37

Battle Of The Underdogs - 5 Way Dance

Nooie Lee vs Javi-Air vs Benjamin Bray vs Dixie vs Stallyn Smith

A potentially fascinating match to open the show here in our Battle Of The Underdogs. All 5 men have found themselves in losing ways despite good efforts. That simply meant each competitor had nothing to lose and everything to prove – ingredients for a potential thriller. And despite these guys being the less well-known names on the roster, they didn’t disappoint. All but one of them really threw their heart and soul into a dizzying display of acrobatics. The crowd barely had time to gather breath between spectacular moves. It was almost as if the ring canvas were magma, with these guys spending the vast majority of this on the top rope, in the air, or hurtling to the outside at the speed of a ground-to-air missile. Sure it was technically just a spot-fest, but the crowd digged it. Designed to get the fans going, to turn heads, and to help these guys get noticed, it more than did its job. All excelled except Stallyn Smith who spent the whole match with a far-away look in his eyes, as if he were wishing he were somewhere else. He was a passenger here. Bray got a much-needed win, and will hopefully look to bigger things in the coming months.

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Benjamin Bray defeated Javi-Air, Nooie Lee, Dixie and Stallyn Smith in 12:37 when Benjamin Bray defeated Stallyn Smith by pinfall. Stallyn Smith was really off his game tonight. Match rating: 39.

RTG’s resident grizzled veteran Chad Collyer then hit the ring, announcing to all the fans that the Triple Threat match he’s booked in tonight is beneath him – a waste of his time. He called out Tommy Kim, challenging him to a rematch instead. Kim was not amused, flatly refusing Collyer’s request, saying he has bigger fish to fry tonight – in his very own World Trophy shot. This enraged Collyer, whose angry response was positively Machiavellian:

“Listen up you disrespectful little punk bitch. I’m Chad Collyer. I’m a somebody in this business. I’ve seen it all. Done it all. I’ve invaded more countries than Napoleon. I’m a player in this industry. You’re just some punk kid who nearly lost to me, got lucky, and needs to learn some God-damned respect. Well tonight’s your lucky night Tommy Kim. Tonight begins a lesson in respect that will last you for months. I won’t touch you. I won’t lay a single finger on you. But I will make sure you never win that World Trophy you’re so proud to fight for. And without ever touching you I will inflict the kind of pain of suffering you could never even dream of. Ever so slowly, little by little, I will see to it you are physically destroyed. There’ll be nothing left but a broken down husk. And then, only then, will I swoop in to finish you off. By then it will be a mercy killing. It starts tonight, kid. Remember this moment.” Tommy Kim let out a nervous laugh as Collyer prepared for his match. Angle rating: 36.

Jerrelle Clark vs Ty Hagen vs Chad Collyer

Chad Collyer watched from the apron as his opponents Jerrelle Clark and Ty Hagen locked up. Craftily scouting both men, he watched hawk-like, mentally noting every move, every grapple, every counter. There was plenty for him to absorb as Hagen and Clark both brought good momentum to this match. A surprisingly technical affair at first, Hagen using strength and weight to gain an advantage over his smaller, faster opponent. After a number of crisp, painful locks, Clark was able to wriggle free, hit a superb standing dropkick, followed by a flying head-scissors which sent Hagen to the outside. Instantly Collyer was behind Clark, crushing him with a huge high angle back drop, into a German suplex, into a fisherman’s buster, into Samoan drop – all without letting go. The crowd – usually allergic to old school wrestling – couldn’t help but applaud. A close 2 count followed. Collyer allowed Clark to get to his feet, allowing him to attempt a cross body dive from the second rope. Effortlessly he caught Clark mid-air, throwing him nearly the length of the ring with a spectacular fall-away slam. The veteran was in control, until a recovered Hagen slid into the ring and hit a dastardly low blow from behind.

Then the action was all Hagen, banging Clark’s head against the turnbuckle 10 times. Then on to the next turnbuckle, banging his head 10 times, then the next, then the last. The crowd counted along with each impact, loving this surprisingly simple spot. Clark, a natural heel, played it like he’d been hit by a car, selling each blow like a sledgehammer shot. He’s a good sport. Cheers turned to boos however when Collyer rolled out of the ring, still nursing his groin after the low blow. Having had enough of a match he already deemed below his lofty high standards, he walked out. Clark used this distraction to hit a running bulldog on Hagen, followed by a crisp springboard moonsault for a near win. The match was even from then on, with Jerrelle’s speed balancing out Hagen’s power and weight advantages. It was only Hagen’s signature submission, in the end, which would make the difference between these two evenly matched competitors. It was a very good match though, and the unexpected walk-out added real drama.

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Ty Hagen defeated Jerrelle Clark and Chad Collyer in 12:59 when Ty Hagen defeated Jerrelle Clark by submission with a Veri-Tap. Match rating: 45.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Derek_Frazier2.jpg

Derek Frazier: The fastest mouth in the West. And the East, for that matter.

If a Running Mouth were a track and field event, Derek Frazier would be Gold Medallist by now. He has been all over the forums and on Wrestling Observer talking shit about how he'll crush Daniels. He’s been obsessed. Relentless. He’s opened up 5 new Twitter accounts just to harass Daniels with. He even made a meme in which he runs over Daniels with a steamroller. So naturally there was already a lot of heat to their feud before the two of them came to the ring, grabbing a mic each. They traded insults. Daniels kept it classy. Frazier went the opposite route. Daniels suggested Frazier had been born with a fighter’s mouth and a coward’s spine. Frazier suggested Daniels was the result of animal porn and insufficient contraception. At which point Father Milo stepped in, officially making their match a #1 contender affair. Angle rating: 36.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Josh_Daniels.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/VS.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Derek_Frazier.jpg

Josh Daniels vs Derek Frazier

The bell hadn’t even rung when these two went at it. Daniels would get Frazier in a hold, which Frazier would cheap shot to escape from. He would attempt a high flying maneuver which Daniels would avoid, countering with a technical hold. A fascinating game of cat and mouse, in which neither could get the upper hand or land any real offense. These two have each other so well scouted they know every move their opponent will make, how to counter it, and what to do next. An excellent match but one which looked destined to be a stalemate. But then suddenly the referee was pulled from the ring and forced into a headlock by Aaron Draven who refused to release the hold until he was included in this #1 Contender’s match! Father Milo had no choice but to agree, not only for the sake of the poor referee but also for the fans who loved the idea of this uninvited guest crashing the party. The bell rang and the match – now a three way – was back on!

Frazier and Daniels were not impressed, putting their feud to one side for a moment to focus on the brash upstart. Draven’s speed was phenomenal, hitting both men with lightning quick running dropkicks, spinning clotheslines and hurricanranas. That was until Daniels and Frazier – against all odds – worked together briefly. Daniels put Draven in a full nelson while Frazier worked the body, pounding his ribs. Daniels then crushed the interloper with a killer triple powerbomb which left Draven motionless on the canvas. Frazier leaped to the top turnbuckle, hitting a 450 splash which all but finished Draven off. They then grabbed a limb each and threw the self-proclaimed “Omega” from the ring like trash. Straight back to it they then went, locking up again. This time Frazier was fastest, decking Daniels with a Double DDT and a springboard Dragon Buster, coming very close to the win. Frazier berated the ref for a slow count, furious that victory wasn’t his. In the commotion he didn’t see the figure sneaking up behind him. By the time Frazier knew what hit him, he was on the canvas... but so was Daniels...

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Aaron Draven defeated Derek Frazier and Josh Daniels in 14:50 when Aaron Draven defeated Derek Frazier by pinfall with an OmegaWave. Match rating: 40.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

I have never seen a human being move as fast as Draven hot-footing it from the ring, with Daniels and Frazier in hot pursuit. He may be too short to ride most of the rollercoasters at Disneyland, but he sure can haul ass. With his escape made, the two adversaries instead turned their frustration on each other, brawling around the ringside area. Things got intense. Beer was spilled. People ran and hid. Chairs flew. Our announcer Swedish Dave screamed like a woman and nearly fainted. The ring steps were left dented well beyond repair. And as the two men brawled to the back the fans were still no clearer as to who has the upper hand. It seems the feud between Daniels and Frazier burns on. Angle rating: 36.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Chad Collyer was waiting for me on my way to the ring for the main event. He stopped me, and advised the best way to defeat Kim is to target the legs. He described how Kim’s offence is nullified if he can’t fly, so disabling the legs would disable the man. I nodded sagely, not quite sure why he was so keen to help me out. Never taking my eye off him, I sprang into the ring ready to strike, clutching the RTG World Trophy extra tightly against my side. Angle rating: 37.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Ruben_T_Garrison.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/VS.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Tommy_Kim.jpg

Ruben T Garrison © vs Tommy Kim

Tommy Kim came to the ring to good applause from our fans. He was in the ring for less than a second before I started the match early, throwing the RTG World Trophy at his right knee, hard. Even through his kneepad it gave a sickening thud, dropping him to the canvas immediately. The ref was pissed. The fans were pissed. I was laughing my ass off. From then on the knees and legs were a bullseye for me. Utilizing every hold I was ever taught back in my trainee days at Shane Douglas’s dojo, I channelled ‘The Franchise’ with a roll-through Half Boston Crab, then straight into a Figure Four Leg Lock. Every time Kim struggled away from the ropes, I dragged him back to the centre and worked at destroying those legs a little more. It soon became clear the tactic was working, as Kim was visibly limping, his speed was much reduced, and it was much harder for him to string offense together without his legs to support him. Momentum swung back in Kim’s favor though when he managed to get his knees up to defend against a Moonsault. This bought him enough time to climb to his feet. Suddenly he was revived, the spirits of every dead wrestler coursing through him, he hit me with a painful series of knife edge chops, clubbing blows and running clotheslines. A spear, a missile dropkick and the world’s most enthusiastic piledriver later and he was in control. It seemed as though despite being in obvious pain, his ridiculous stamina and determination had seen him through to the win of his dreams. He scooped me up, holding me in the air vertically for a breathtaking Brainbuster that would surely have ended it. Suddenly however his knee buckled from under him, landing me on top of him for a 2 count.

Furious, Kim tried climbing to his feet again, using the ropes for leverage. Suddenly his enemy Chad Collyer was ringside right in front of him, laughing in his face. Collyer knew exactly what buttons to push, mockingly copying Kim’s limp, drawing a noisy boo from the fans. Kim was furious, throwing verbal assaults and threatening to leave the ring to provide his enemy an ass-kicking. All of these ringside shenanigans provided me the time I needed to recover. As Kim turned back to the match, I hit a leaping DDT from out of nowhere, splatting him across the mat. The crowd were on their feet as Kim somehow kicked out of a triple jump moonsault. Running purely on his own fury, Kim got back up, stumbled forward and was then thrown face-first into the corner post hard by yours truly – a sickening thud filled the air, followed by gasps from the fans. Kim’s face was a bloody mess, with crimson running freely into his eyes, obscuring his vision. He swung wild haymakers at me, but with wounded legs and no vision he was like a bull in a china shop. Collyer grinned like a Cheshire cat as I grabbed the stricken Kim one more time, and put things to bed with a bang. Collyer applauded sarcastically from ringside as my arm was raised. Kim was left to angrily consider what could have been. Sure it was the blood in his eyes which proved to be the deciding factor – but Collyer’s interference lead to that. The feud between Collyer and Kim just got more intense.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Ruben T Garrison defeated Tommy Kim in 15:11 by pinfall with a Hart Attack. During the match we also had Chad Collyer distract Tommy Kim. Ruben T Garrison makes defense number 4 of his RTG World Trophy title. Match rating: 44.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Father Milo passed me the RTG World Trophy, and gave the brave Tommy Kim a hug that was way too big to not be genuine. The crowd also applauded his efforts. This bitter-sweet scene was quickly interrupted though, as Draven slid into the ring, mic in hand. He was keen to remind everyone how he was again the #1 contender for the Trophy, and demanded his shot. Father Milo smiled, clearly amused by Aaron Draven’s enthusiasm. He told him to wait his turn, that if it really was his destiny to be champion, then the Good Lord would grant these wishes in time. In the short term, however, Milo announced that Draven must first defend his position as #1 contender at the next show. Angrily, Draven demanded to hear details. Milo merely smiled, and teased everyone with the phrase “you shall see, my Son. You all shall...” Angle rating: 30.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Overall rating: 41.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

What does Augustini have up his sleeve for Draven? Will Tommy Kim have his revenge on Chad Collyer, or will the veteran's plan to slowly destroy him become reality? What next in the feud between Josh Daniels and Derek Frazier? And with Ty Hagen and Benjamin Bray both grabbing wins tonight, what lies in store for them? Tune in next time to find out!

The one where we find out every good deal comes with a catch

Aftermath: "It's A Good News, Bad News Kinda Deal..."

The mood in RTG was pretty good after our Now Or Never show. Feedback from the 15 people who showed up was good. People are digging the 3 feuds / storylines we're running. And people seem to actually like the fact that we're a real, proper wrestling company now, rather than the carnival of horrors we started off as. Things are on the up. Or at least they were, until the bank posted RTG's latest statement through, which made me have what felt like a small heart attack. Ever feel the need to suddenly jump through the nearest window? I do, every time the bank comes calling.

For all the modest success RTG has achieved in its short but colorful life, the problem of finance has never been solved. You don't need to be a maths professor to realize that selling 15 tickets per show at $5 each isn't exactly going to make us rich. The plain truth is that RTG has been hemorrhaging money like a gun shot wound since day one. Finally this fact was coming round to bite us in the ass. And hard. My buddy Mickey D must have sensed this. He saw the grim expression on my face. He didn't have to ask. He already knew the score. Fortunately he also knew the solution.

"Rubie, I'm going into the beer business. People love that extra-strong rocket fuel shit I sell at your events. They can't get enough. So I'm going in to mass production, starting right now. I'm thinking it could be my ticket out of this shit-hole town. Maybe I'll even round up enough riches to move somewhere warm. Somewhere nice. Somewhere the air isn't thick enough to chew, where the morning breeze doesn't smell like wet farts." I nodded blankly. The one (and only) thing we all have in common in this town is a primal desire to escape it.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Beer.jpg

America is not ready for Mickey D's beer.

It's like rocket fuel. But fizzy.

"So I've got an offer for you. How about Mickey D's Championship Draft Beer - that's the name by the way - sponsors your events. It'll give you enough cash flow to keep that fun little circus of yours going. And in return my new company gets the visibility it needs to get off the ground." It was a no-brainer. We talked it through a little more. The money Mickey D was offering would be more than enough to cover costs for months. Plus our fans were already drinking gallons of that shit anyway, so what was to lose? I was just about to get excited when Mickey D threw a curve ball however...

"Just one thing, Rubie. Way I see it, between this sponsorship and the thousand dollars I fronted you for your Shitty Datsun Challenge event, I reckon you owe me one. Just a small favor, then we'll call it even." I gave him the look I normally reserve for politicians, used car salesmen and fellow crackheads. He wasn't deterred though. "My boy Benny is becoming... quite the handful. He lacks direction, shall we say. He needs something to do with his life. A job. I was thinking RTG would be the perfect place for a guy like him. It's full of colorful characters. He'd fit right in. He knows plenty about wrestling, he's been to all your shows..."

He trailed off, his voice fading into the background. A wave of terror and sadness hit me like a crushing blow to the nuts. It felt like a sucking chest wound.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Benny_D.jpg

Benny D: What an asshole.

It was bad enough that Mickey D - the closest thing this town has to a gangster - knew I owed him favors. That I could at least stomach. But having Benny D on the roster would be like living with a giant leech stuck to your eyeball. There are assholes in this world, but none can come close to the stupefying level of assholery which Benny D has achieved. He is the king among assholes. The world champion of assholedom. The Jesus Christ of being a prick. The man's toxic. The man's hateful. The man's medically incapable of not pissing off everyone he meets. And now he was coming to work for RTG. And there's nothing I could do to stop it. My heart went into full Blitzkreig mode, beating so fast it nearly dug a hole out my chest.

"So yeah, it's a good news, bad news kinda deal." Finished Mickey D. "Just stick him on the announcer's desk, well out of the way. Give him some busy work. Just keep the little shit away from me, and I'll keep the debt collectors off your ass forever. I don't care what you have him doing. Just try to make sure nobody strangles the nasty little bastard." With that Mickey D left, leaving his bad news behind him like a turd in a swimming pool. I tried to see the bright side - financial security for the short-term at least was guaranteed. I forced a smile. There's only so much damage one guy can inflict, right? Right? Sure...

OOC: A little experiment then... what happens when you use the in-game editor to create the biggest jerk personality possible? What then happens when this tool is thrown into an otherwise happy locker-room like a fox among the chickens? Let's find out...

The one where we change the face of RTG for just fifty dollars

<div style="text-align:center;">A Dead Thing With A Shiny Thing Inside.

"I think it's time we put it out of it's misery" she said with a frown, delivering the death sentence with a cold, calm demeanor.

"It's the only kind thing to do. No sense in dragging out the pain. Better off just getting rid and saying goodbye" he said, nodding his head with the sage wisdom of a professor.

It was another cold, crappy morning at Mickey D's Scrap Yard. Me, Mickey and our Road Agent Rachel Summerlyn were stood around the cold, dead corpse, with a sad look upon our faces. Nothing could be done. This was the end. All that remained was to realize the cold, hard truth of the matter.

The car was screwed.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Rachel_Summerlyn.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Mickey_D.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Ruben_T_Garrison.jpg

Rachel, Mickey and Ruben. Not much of a send-off. </div>

"Fine then, let's get it over with" said Rachel with a big sigh. It was the same car she'd pushed to the scrap yard at the beginning, only to stumble across a wrestling show happening at the time. It was this broken down vehicle which lead to her joining the fed. She'd come for spare parts, stayed for the wrestling, drank the beer, kicked the ass of a member of RTG's staff, and etched her name in the company's history. Since that day though the car was totaled - thanks in no small part to the dozen or so wrestling moves performed on it during the show. Despite this being the car that had taken her all over America during her wrestling career, it was time for Rachel to say goodbye.

"Better pop the trunk, check there's nothing inside before we turn the poor ol' bastard into tin cans" said Mickey D. The three of us walked round the back of the car and opened her up. It was like an autopsy. The thing was so rusty we had to pry it open with a crowbar. Inside there was a treasure trove of crap. A smorgasbord of eBay gold. The entire back catalog of Cyndi Lauper on CD. A gym bag full of sweaty, unwashed wrestling gear from Christ only knows when. Five dollars in loose coins. A faded, autographed copy of the autobiography of Lex Luger. A half-used pepper spray canister. A dozen or so crumpled issues of Playgirl Magazine. A slightly bloodied set of knuckle dusters. And underneath it all, something else... something... shiny...

"Wow! I totally forgot I had this!" Rachel exclaimed with sudden excitement. She lifted it up and slung it over her shoulder. Mickey D and I recognized what is was immediately - a title belt. A wrestling one. A real one. Right here. In real life. We got giddy, like hyperactive children on Christmas morning.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Invitational_Title.jpg<div style="text-align:center;">

Shiny!</div>

"I won this thing years ago, and kept it when the tight-ass fed owner refused to pay me. I can't even remember what the name of that place was. But they never called to get it back. Been mine ever since. A very sentimental item, the value of which I couldn't even begin to fathom. It's priceless, really." Rachel was stroking the belt like a cat, her glare distant as she reminisced on wrestling glories from long ago.

"Give ya fifty bucks for it." I said. She snapped out of it real quick, grabbed my hand, and shook it with the force of a grizzly bear in a feeding frenzy. "Sold!" Rachel shouted, throwing the belt at me like a hot potato. Mickey D looked impressed. "So it seems Road To Glory Wrestling has a new title. What will you call it? And who'll fight for it?" I already knew the answer. I'd dreamed of one day adding a second title, but never had the cash to do so. I couldn't even really afford the $50 for this one, but that was another matter.

"Lady and gentleman, may I introduce to you the new RTG Invitational Title! It's unique in that any wrestler from any company, anywhere in the world can fight for it. No restrictions, no limits. And we'll introduce this bad boy at our next show!" Everyone was very excited. And why not? The world of wrestling has a shiny new toy to play with...

Who will win this shiny new title? How will this change the shape of RTG? How ever will I be able to afford fifty whole dollars for this thing? Stay tuned to find out...</div>

the one with a shiny new title and a heavy dose of blatant corporate sponsorship

RTG Wrestling: Blood, Sweat & Beers - Results

It was a freakishly hot June summer's evening as our loyal rabble of 15 fans descended upon Mickey D's Scrap Yard for another night of carnage, beer, lunacy, and possibly even some wrestling. The prospect of a new title had our online followers rabidly trying to predict the first ever RTG Invitational Champion. Fans in attendance were taking bets, with plenty of cash changing hands. This, combined with all the ultra-strength beer on sale, produced a record decibel level from the fans, as well as a record amount of vomit on the floor. One fan passed out from intoxication and had to be revived. Another drunkenly climbed the flag pole, couldn't get back down again, and was stuck up there for nearly four hours. Two guys lost their clothes, treating our online viewers to the kind of disappointing full-frontal nudity not seen since announcer Swedish Dave's foray into porn. It's shows like this that remind me what a classy company we're running here.

On the upside, however, our new color commentator Benny D was a no-show. Apparently he'd been arrested for stealing fireworks from the local Wal-Mart, so it wasn't all bad news.

Opening the show was Tommy Kim, who was pissed off after coming so close to achieving his dream of being a champion, only to lose due to manipulation by his rival Chad Collyer. He wasted no time, saying he wants revenge for Collyer screwing him over. Collyer came out with a cocky smile on his face, saying no, he'll destroy him slowly and from afar as promised. He's only just begun. Kim called out our authority Father Milo Augustini, who said he can't force Collyer to fight if he doesn't want to, because the Good Book says so. Kim stormed off in a fury, leaving Collyer with a smug grin on his face. Angle rating: 34

Chad Collyer likes to hurt people.

And he's good at it too.

Before Father Milo could get out of the ring, cocky upstart Derek Frazier made an appearance. He was appalled he'd been put in a tag team with hated rival Josh Daniels, complaining loudly to Augustini, making the kind of diabolical threats more akin to a Bond villain than a pro wrestler. He then threatened to walk out of the show and ruin the main event unless he got his own way. "You're a dick! You're a dick!" chanted the crowd enthusiastically. Augustini reminded Frazier that whoever gets the pin becomes #1 contender. Frazier suddenly changed his attitude, getting all smug and self-righteous. Seems our main event will happen after all... Angle rating: 37.

The RTG Invitational Classic - To Crown The Inaugural RTG Invitational Champion.

12 men shall enter. 11 men shall fall. 1 shall be crowned. Eliminations happen when both feet touch the floor. Wrestlers come to the ring at timed intervals, based on a secret draw. (Basically it's WWE's Royal Rumble but done on a budget of a couple hundred dollars.) The crowd were on their feet to see which brave competitors would be drawn first...

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Benjamin_Bray.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Chad_Collyer2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Dixie2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Javi_Air.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Jerrelle_Clark2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Nooie_Lee2.jpg

First drawn was Benjamin Bray, fresh off his win last time out. He did high fives with the crowd on his way into the ring. The fact nobody threw a beer at him or tried to punch him in the eye is proof of his growing popularity here in RTG. Next up was high flyer Javi-Air, who was determined to turn around a run of losses, hoping this event would change his fortunes. Being drawn #2 of 12 didn't exactly tip the odds in his favor. The two engaged in a series of lightning fast aerial spots to warm up the crowd, with both men going at it as the next entrant came out...

Our drunken fans let out a burst of sarcastic cheers as rookie Stallyn Smith sauntered to the ring. He's a decent wrestler, if green. However his recent performances in RTG have been half-assed to say the least. He looks like being here is a chore, like he'd rather be somewhere else. Tonight was no exception, Smith going at it with all the enthusiasm of a man facing a firing squad. The fans have seen this lack of commitment and have begun verbally shitting on him with each half-baked performance. Bray and Javi-Air had fun double-teaming him though, hitting twin Moonsaults on their outnumbered foe. Javi followed it with an aerial move that was spectacular, obscure and definitely Mexican. Even our expert announcer Swedish Dave couldn't name it. Looked like it hurt though.

Jerrelle Clark has made a real impact in his short time with RTG. The fans like his cocky attitude and he knows how to get a pop. He really made an entrance, leaping through the ropes with the grace of a dancer, singling out the prone and unpopular Smith, then literally bitch-slapping him out the ring! It was marvelous. A fun 3 way brawl then broke out, with neither man backing down, yet all 3 clearly were saving energy for the long fight ahead of them.

Suddenly some unfamilar music played, indicating a new face in RTG! Through the curtain stepped... Matt Stryker! Not to be confused with the goofy asshole Matt Striker from WWE etc, this is Matt Stryker, who can actually wrestle. Like fellow veterans Chad Collyer and Josh Daniels, he is an excellent submission wrestler with great fundamentals. He could draw a decent match out of anyone. And here he was, ready to break bones and make a name for himself in RTG. He hit the ring, catching Javi-Air in mid-air after a failed Cross-body Press, which he turned into a huge old school Aeroplane Spin. He then proved he meant business by bringing the fallen Javi-Air back to his feet, flattening him again with a beautiful Death Valley Driver. He finished off by throwing the lifeless Javi out the ring like a rag doll. Immediate impact from Stryker.

Another unfamiliar entrance theme hit, with the fans on their feet to catch a glimpse of the next new face in RTG. Even a couple of the in-ring competitors stopped kicking ass to take a look. The curtain pulled back to reveal... ZZ Hook! As his name was called over the sound system, the fans broke into a chant of "ZZ Hook! ZZ Hook! Who the f**k is ZZ Hook?!" I love chants that rhyme. Announcer Swedish Dave nailed the moment perfectly though, answering the chant by saying "who the hell were they expecting, John Cena?! We're at a scrap yard in Delaware, not Madison Square Garden!" Smart-ass remarks aside, however, ZZ hook is known for his skill on the mic. Drawing toward the end of his in-ring career, his entertainment skills could really make the difference here at RTG. And he still has more than enough left in the tank to hopefully make a name for himself. As he slid into the ring, he immediately shook hands with fellow newcomer Matt Stryker. The two then began working together like a well-oiled machine, indiscriminately kicking the assess of all in range. Despite having never tagged in the past, these two were clearly in cahoots as they put the beat-down on all-comers. This teamwork strategy worked well until Bray and Clark formed an ad-hoc alliance of their own, essentially turning this into a tag team match, with both sides evenly balanced - until the next competitor arrived...

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Benjamin_Bray.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Chad_Collyer2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Dixie.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Javi_Air3.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Jerrelle_Clark.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Matt_Stryker.jpg

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Nooie_Lee2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Stallyn_Smith3.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Tommy_Kim2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Ty_Hagen2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/ZZ_Hook.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Mystery_Opponent.jpg

Young, talented yet continually unlucky Dixie was next into the mix. Unlike the others who ran straight into battle, however, he lingered on the outside, watching the other competitors from afar. The battle between the newcomers and Bray / Clark raged on, with the newcomers seemingly having an edge due to them being fresher. Bray - the first out - was still going strong despite being in the ring for 20 minutes already. Perhaps an upset was on the cards?

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Benjamin_Bray.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Chad_Collyer2.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Dixie.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Javi_Air3.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Jerrelle_Clark.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Rumble/Matt_Stryker.jpg

The fans were happy to see Nooie Lee up next. A fan on Facebook summed him up nicely by saying "he's like Taijiri but a bit less psychotic. And a bit less Japanese, given he's from Florida." His record so far at RTG is deceiving, with a high number of losses not reflecting the level of skill, desire and intensity he brings to any match he's in. He stopped next to fellow underdog Dixie. The two nodded at each other, before entering the ring together as another unlikely team. Now the battle royal had basically turned into a 2 vs 2 vs 2 match. All 3 teams were keen to show off their high-risk offense, hitting many spectacular moves. Dixie and Nooie especially cut loose, using this as a chance to showcase their talents on a big stage. A surprising amount of teamwork, given what was expected to be an 'every man for himself' affair.

Suddenly the match was interrupted by the sound of another unfamiliar entrance theme. Out came Johnny Riggs, who some of our less drunken fans recognized from his time as enhancement talent for the likes of WWE, TNA and OVW. Young, flashy and with bags of potential, Riggs has the looks and the talent to go far - his arrival in lowly RTG could be a revelation. He entered the ring via a spectacular somersault flip, landing on his feet with his arms in the air like a gymnast. He posed for the crowd, raising his arms in victory before even beginning to fight. Most wrestlers in the ring paused to check out this new name in RTG, distracted by the scenes unfolding before them. Not Jerrelle Clark, however, who was experienced and crafty enough to use this distraction to his advantage. He sneaked up behind Dixie, grabbing him by the tights, hurling him out the ring like trash. Nooie Lee was pissed, smashing Clark with massive roundhouse kicks. He tried following this up with a huge Kung Fu spin kick, but Clark ducked this. He countered, suplexing Lee clean out the ring. Two eliminations in quick succession! Clark's impact by this stage was impressive.

ZZ Hook and Matt Stryker didn't seem happy with the flashy upstart who'd injected himself in their match, and immediately took Riggs down. They stomped a mudhole into him, and kept him grounded with an agonizing-looking Boston Crab / Crippler Crossface combination that would have broken most men. Benjamin Bray took pity on Riggs, breaking up the double submission with a sweet Rolling Thunder which would've made RVD himself proud. Bray and Riggs rallied to floor Hook & Stryker with double running clotheslines, followed by simultaneous Moonsaults with got a pop from the increasingly drunken crowd. Bray threw the hurt ZZ Hook to Riggs who hit him with his finishing move - the Riggs Rotation! Bray then dragged the downed Stryker towards Riggs, for another Riggs Rotation! As Bray & Riggs celebrated, Jerrelle Clark swooped in like a piranha, eliminating Hook with a Baseball Slide, before quickly eliminating Stryker with a lightning fast Running Dropkick. Another two super-fast eliminations by Clark, who was clearly out to set records tonight, having eliminated pretty much half the roster up to now. Among all this action, few noticed the next entrant Chad Collyer creeping around the ring, happy to stay out of harm's way and scout things from a safe distance.

The fans were loud with cheers as Ty Hagen strolled confidently to the ring. The second to last entrant, he was in a great position to grab the title here tonight, being much fresher than the remaining competitors. After eyeballing Collyer, he jumped into the ring and immediately began swinging, his wild haymakers flattening anyone in range. Riggs then caught a massive Hagen Reverse Bulldog which left him down for the count. Clark grabbed Hagen round the waist, trying for a German Suplex. Much to everyone's surprise the increasingly slim and athletic Hagen back-flipped out of it, countering with a High Angle Back Drop, putting Clark over the top rope to the floor outside! Clearly the old, overweight and out of shape Hagen was gone, replaced by a much more threatening and athletic prospect. By eliminating Clark he made a huge statement, considering Clark had been unstoppable in this match, responsible for most eliminations. The fans loved it.

The final entrant in the RTG Invitational Classic was the popular Tommy Kim. Upset at having not won the RTG World Trophy last month, he was determined to set matters right by winning a title here tonight. The odds of victory firmly stacked in his favor, he entered the ring with his trademark smile. In the blink of an eye Collyer was on the apron, yelling "Now! Now!" Suddenly every remaining competitor stopped what they were doing, and pounced on Kim. Clearly Collyer had secretly spoken to every other competitor before the match, telling them Kim's weaknesses and advising them to target Kim's legs to stop him in his tracks. Like a manipulative mastermind, he watched his plan unfold as Bray, Riggs and Hagen all tore at Kim's legs like sharks in a feeding frenzy. Kim had no chance. The pounding Kim's legs took in such a short period of time was astronomical. It was nothing personal - a chance to remove their biggest threat was clearly too much to pass on as the three beat down on Kim. Together they picked up his bruised and battered body, grabbing any limb they could, before unceremoniously tipping him over the top rope, eliminating him. As Tommy Kim lay un-moving on the ground, clutching his legs in agony after the onslaught, his enemy Chad Collyer stood over him laughing.

Riggs saw an opening, grabbing Hagen from behind, attempting his Riggs Rotation finishing move which had been so successful earlier on. Hagen used his size and strength advantage however to overpower his smaller foe, smashing him to the ground before locking on his Veri-Tap submission. Riggs had little left after a hard-fought battle, and soon passed out from the pain. Hagen then rolled his fallen opponent under the bottom rope to the outside for the elimination. Now there were only 3 remaining...

Bray and Hagen went at it in a display of friendly exhibition wrestling, putting on a surprisingly technical display of crisp moves for the fans. With high mutual respect, they combined solid ground work with the occasional eye-catching high-flying maneuver. Bray had been in this since the very beginning though, and despite his athleticism struggled to keep up with the fresh Hagen. Before long Hagen had Bray locked in the Veri-Tap. Bray tapped, but it didn't mean a thing as the only way to finish is when both feet hit the floor. Suddenly Collyer chose his moment, attacking Hagen from behind. He scooped up the unsuspecting Hagen and landed a brutal Sit-out Powerbomb. He then went over to Bray, grabbing him by his perfect hair and dragging him to the ropes. Bray fought back with desperate kicks and punches, but the fresh and experienced Collyer blocked them all. A powerful headbutt staggered Bray, who had shown amazing guts and determination to stay in the match this long, against all odds. Collyer then scooped him out the ring with a Fireman's Carry, watching with pleasure as Bray landed in a lifeless pile on the floor below. And then there were two...

The crowd were on their feet, clapping loudly in anticipation of the final battle. Hagen took a moment to sportingly applaud the fallen competitors who lay broken and hurt around the outside. He then turned to his foe Collyer. The two stared at each other from across the ring, the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense. Hagen then charged at Collyer, throwing a furious combination of punches. Collyer laughed as he expertly dodged each one, looking almost like Muhammad Ali in the way he ducked and swayed. Hagen tried for a massive Super Kick, which Collyer side-stepped with cocky ease, laughing again in Hagen's face. Hagen tried to tie up his opponent, but was thrown to the floor like a rag doll. The crowd's boos were deafening - quite the feat given the tiny attendance. Red with anger Hagen climbed to his feet, ready to violently wipe the smile off Collyer's face. It looked like the two competitors were about to go at it when suddenly Collyer turned, strolled toward the ropes, and rolled casually to the outside, laughing loudly as both his feet touched the floor. He walked over to the still un-moving Tommy Kim, standing over him with arms raised.

The crowd were in shock. Chad Collyer, despite seemingly having the upper hand, despite seemingly having this match won, just self-eliminated! Hagen looked truly perplexed as Father Milo Augustini presented him with the new RTG Invitational Belt. Collyer applauded from ringside. Hagen was furious at the bizarre way in which his first ever title win had ended. Clearly he'd wanted this moment of glory to be spectacular, to be hard-fought and memorable. Not handed to him on a plate like this. But why had Collyer thrown the match? Why had Collyer discarded this clear chance at glory? As Hagen's music played and he was crowned champion, we were left with more questions than answers.

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but non-existent crowd heat, Ty Hagen won a battle royal in 50:23. The other members of the 'final four' were Chad Collyer, Johnny Riggs and Benjamin Bray, with Chad Collyer being the final elimination. Jerrelle Clark got the most eliminations over the course of the match; Benjamin Bray set the record for surviving the longest. Ty Hagen wins the RTG Invitational title. Stallyn Smith was really off his game tonight. Match rating: 46.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Father Milo saw the frown on Hagen's face, and decided to lighten the mood with celebration. He pulled a bottle of wine from a secret compartment in his priestly robes, cracked it open with his bare hands, and passed it to the new champion. Sickened by this soppy display, I came to the ring, grabbed the mic, saying I'm the only real champion in RTG. I told Hagen he'll always be second fiddle in the company, that he should know his place as secondary champion. I reminded him who is king. An intense staredown took place, before Hagen took his wine and his shiny new championship belt away with him. Angle rating: 35.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Jerrelle Clark then appeared, still slightly out of breath after his tremendous showing in the battle royal minutes earlier. He got on the mic, saying he's the leading new talent in RTG. He got the most eliminations in what he proclaimed to be the most important match in the company's history. He then claimed it was only due to bad luck he didn't win. He demanded a shot at the RTG World Trophy, and was quickly rejected. I told him to earn it, saying that just because he was awesome once, doesn't make him a genuine contender... yet. He wasn't happy. Angle rating: 32.

Ruben T Garrison & Aaron Draven vs Josh Daniels & Derek Frazier

Winner Takes All Tag Match For The #1 Contender's Spot

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Ruben_T_Garrison.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Aaron_Draven.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/VS.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Josh_Daniels.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Derek_Frazier.jpg

At last month's show, Father Milo told Aaron Draven he'd have to defend his #1 contender's spot. What he didn't say was that he'd have to do so while teaming with his enemy, the very champion he was hoping to dethrone. Even worse, he'd have to defend it against Josh Daniels and Derek Frazier, two of the hottest rising stars in the company. The twist here though is that Daniels and Frazier also hate each others guts, and have been at war since the moment they arrived in RTG. Whoever gets the pin becomes #1 contender. If the champ gets the pin, he gets to hand-pick who he faces next. Anything could happen!

Draven and Frazier started things out, starting slowly with good wrestling holds before advancing to more spectacular high-flying moves. Frazier got the upper hand with a blatant low blow, followed by a Shooting Star Press which had Draven badly hurt. He crawled to me for the tag, but I turned my back, refusing to help my enemy. Frazier began brutally kicking him in the chest, while I watched with a smile. What followed was a brutal few minutes which must've felt like hours for Draven, as Daniels and Frazier took it in turns inflicting tremendous damage to their outnumbered opponent. Meanwhile I stood on the apron laughing and having a great time. I'd wanted to kick Draven's ass for a while - these guys were doing the job for me.

All was roses for Daniels and Frazier until Josh went for the pin, getting a 2 count before the pinfall was broken up by his own partner! Unwilling to let his hated rival get the #1 spot, Frazier dragged Daniels off Draven, threw him into the corner and began hammering him with stiff punches and kicks. Daniels caught a kick mid-air and countered with a hard Capture Suplex. He then leaped on Frazier, brutalizing him with an old-school masterclass of holds and submissions. Technically there's no rule against tag partners kicking each others asses, so the violence went on without interruption from referee Bill Clark. They started the match as allies, but their hatred for each other had soon seen them fighting among themselves.

This gave Draven enough time to recover. He got to his feet, limped over to where I was standing, and slapped me hard in the face. The ref took this as a tag, thrusting me into the action. I floored Daniels and Frazier with a Top Rope Double Clothesline, before throwing Frazier out the ring. Daniels was in bad shape after his mini-war with Frazier, so I soon took the upper hand, nailing him with pretty much every DDT variant in the book. Frazier was still motionless on the outside as I went for the pinfall, which was broken by my own 'partner' Draven. Seizing the momentum, he grabbed me off-balance, hitting his finisher out of nowhere, laying me out cold. He then grabbed the prone Josh Daniels and rolled him up with a Small Package pin to steal the victory!

In a bout that had a good crowd and good action, Ruben T Garrison and Aaron Draven defeated Josh Daniels and Derek Frazier in 17:50 when Aaron Draven defeated Josh Daniels by pinfall. Match rating: 51.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Despite being still out of breath after a hard fought battle, Draven grabbed the mic, demanding he get his shot at the RTG World Trophy next show! Father Milo came out, shaking his head, a furious look on his face. You don't want to get a man like him angry - he's like The Incredible Hulk on a rampage, but holy. And right now he looked like he could go ballistic at any moment. He angrily told the crowd he'd found evidence the secret ballot for the royal had been manipulated. Turns out people had been swapping their draws with each other so they could team up with their allies, trying to sneakily improve their chances. This is why ZZ Hook and Stryker got drawn together, for example. Father Milo said this was very un-Christian behavior and was furious with all involved. He announced that RTG's next show will be completely randomized, just like the RTG Invitational Classic should've been. Every competitor will be drawn the night before the event by Father Milo himself. Draven was told he'll have to wait until the show after to get his title shot, against whoever is champion. Draven threw the mic out the ring in a rage and stormed off backstage. Angle rating: 42.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Overall rating: 48.

Who will be drawn against who? Will Draven ever get the title shot he so badly craves? And will Ruben T Garrison still be champ when it happens? Who will be the first person to face Ty Hagen for the Invitational Title? And what about the mystery behind Chad Collyer throwing the RTG Invitational Classic? And what next between Frazier and Daniels? So many questions, so few answers! Stay tuned to find out what happens next!

The one where Benny D loses his shit

RTG: Blood, Sweat & Beers - Aftermath.

"You chickenshit bastard! I swear I'm gonna cut you!" Benny D was twitching with anger, the veins in his neck throbbing like they were trying to claw their way out.

It was a fortnight after our Blood, Sweat & Beers show. The roster had gathered for a meeting to discuss who's doing what at the next show, who's putting over who, sharing ideas, etc. Everyone had pretty much left, with just the last few stragglers heading out the door. Our new color commentator Benny D had shown up, despite not being invited. So of course a routine meeting turned into a circus. He'd thankfully kept himself to himself throughout most of the discussion, but clearly couldn't go a whole hour without pissing somebody off. He strikes me as the kinda guy who gets strangled a lot.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Benny_D.jpg

Benny D: Does not play nicely with others.

"I swear to God if that little bastard doesn't stop glaring at me I'm gonna cut out his God-damn heart!" Benny D screamed, his face crimson with rage. I looked around to see who the culprit could be. Only me, Benny and Dixie were still around. Everyone else had cleared out. Dixie looked absolutely terrified.

"You're going to cut out a man's heart just for looking at you?" I said in a state of disbelief. Dixie by now was literally hiding behind me.

"That shit-eating bastard is gonna pay! Nobody eyeballs me! I'm gonna cut you deep you scrawny runt bastard!" Benny yelled, trying to grab at Dixie with his big, clumsy hands.

"Benny, you don't have a knife. Look at what you're wearing - you don't have any pockets to even stash a knife in." I said calmly, trying to talk sense into the neanderthal. I'd dealt with thugs like Benny D all the time while I was an addict, and wasn't thrilled about having to again while sober.

"So what?!" Screamed Benny, seemingly medically incapable of calming down. "I got knives at home! And Samurai swords! I'm gonna Bushido this little bitch, cut out his heart and eat it!" His voice had gone beyond mad, and was now all high pitched and squeaky. He sounded like a dying dog-chew toy.

"So, let me get this straight." I reasoned, taking a couple of steps back with the petrified Dixie still behind me. "You're going to ask Dixie to kindly wait around so you can go home, get a weapon, and murder him with it? And you're telling him all this in advance, so he can prepare for it?"

Benny was deep in thought. You could see the cogs of his violent little brain turning. "Good point" he muttered, before flying into a rage again. "Dixie you little shit! You're my sworn enemy now! Don't ever be in a room alone with me, you little bitch, I'll cut your throat and drink the blood!"

He stormed out the room, tears of anger in his eyes. Me and Dixie were left bewildered and speechless. I shrugged, forced a smile, then bought Dixie a coffee - it was least I could do, I guess...

The one with a very unhappy Priest

RTG: Random Violence - Official Card

For the first time ever in the history of Road To Glory Wrestling, the card was drawn live online via a YouTube feed. Nearly two hundred fans watched it, which surprised the hell out of me and a few others. Rumors have already begun circulating that we might be in for a record attendance, maybe even selling a whopping 20 tickets or so. I'm not getting my hopes up too much though - our current record of 16 tickets is a high benchmark to beat.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Father_Milo_Augustini.jpg

"Godless, cheating, no-good bottom-feeding bastards"

were Father Milo's exact words after last month's show.

An angry-looking Father Milo Augustini repeated his belief that the secret draw for the RTG Invitational Classic had been somehow tampered with, resulting in alliances and teams working together in a match that should've been every man for himself. As our Authority Figure here at RTG, he announced that this show's card would be drawn completely at random, "in the interest of fairness." In front of him were two bags - one for deciding the number of participants in a match, the other for deciding who those participants would be. After a healthy swig of wine he got the draw officially underway. The outcome was as follows:

Note: ZZ Hook has informed us he's unable to actively compete due to an undisclosed and mysterious 'upper body injury.'

This will conveniently limit his involvement to 'advising' his ally Stryker during the match.

The one with Grumpy Nooie and Magic Chad

Note before you read this: Readers may think what happens in this entry is far-fetched or ludicrous. You might think I was taking the piss or having a joke. Let me tell you that the facts herein are 100% true and completely based on real life. I'll drop a link at the end for your amusement.

RTG: Random Violence - Pre-Show.

4pm, Saturday Afternoon, a few hours before RTG: Random Violence.

"I can't believe the guy's late for his own birthday party!" Nooie Lee was exasperated, staring at the door as if doing so would force punctuality. "He was meant to be here an hour ago." He'd had whiskey. It made him moody.

"It's his party, if he wants to be fashionably late it's his call." I said, putting a sympathetic hand on Nooie's shoulder. "Though Christ only knows what he's doing."

Suddenly the door burst open and in he strolled like a model on a catwalk. The whole roster was here waiting, and applauded loudly as he paraded into the room. The clapping suddenly stopped when they saw what he was wearing though. Chad Collyer stood there in a top hat, a tuxedo with a bright pink silk shirt, and a cape. He had a cane and dancing shoes on too, just to finish the look. It was like Liberace had come back to life and gatecrashed the party. Everyone was speechless. In the ring Collyer is as straight-lace and traditional as they come. Seeing him dressed like Elton John had us all stunned.

Everyone, that is, except Swedish Dave. He had a smug, shit-eating grin on his face. He knew the score. Chad was late because he was doing a cash-in-hand job. A Bah Mitzvah I hear. Must've run late." He saw the confused look on my face, so explained. "Oh, you didn't know? Chad Collyer has a day job as a professional magician! He's a bona fide mentalist too!" I was so shocked I nearly choked on my beer, coughing so hard it nearly came out my nose.

"What?!" laughed Nooie Lee, as if he'd heard some hilariously funny joke. "I'm not kidding" said Swedish. "He makes more money doing party tricks and entertaining than he does wrestling. He's really well known, practically a member of the Magic Circle. I'd bet you a hundred bucks that if you were to take that top hat off his head, a rabbit would jump out." Dave nodded sagely like some kind of professor. I wasn't kidding when I said he's an expert on wrestling. He really knows his stuff. Let's just say working 2 hours a week in the online sex industry left him with a lot of time to study.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Chad_Collyer3.jpg

"Ruben!" Collyer yelled, strutting over to me with the pomp of a Rick Flair on a cocaine binge. "How you doing, you loveable, skinny little bastard?" He reached into his cape, pulling a half-empty bottle of champagne from God only knows where, taking a massive swig straight from the bottle. "Sorry I'm late. Rich family. Bah Mitzvah. They hired an elephant. Four of my doves escaped, and the rabbit bit one of the kids. Things got out of hand. The gig ran late. I got a parking ticket too."

"Well I never. A magician?! You?!" Nooie Lee was still dumbstruck, looking on wide-eyed as if this whole scene were some kind of weird dream. Chad Collyer laughed - this reaction was clearly not uncommon. "Pick a card" said Collyer, full of amusement. Nooie did as he was told, sliding a card from a deck which had literally appeared from out of nowhere. Chad closed his eyes. "Jack of hearts" he said, smiling. Nooie looked down at the card he'd chosen. "You're right" said Nooie, seriously unimpressed. "That's not much of a trick, Chad. Any asshole can do that one." Collyer wasn't finished. "Nooie, your shoelace is untied." Nooie Lee looked down, only to find a Jack of hearts in his shoe. He looked up, only to find another Jack of hearts behind his ear. There was one in his wallet too. There were two in his drink. And another in his inner jacket pocket. He would also later find one in the glove compartment of his car. And his toaster at home. And another in his DVD player. He would find them everywhere he went, relentlessly, for the next three months. And every time, Chad would refuse to reveal how he'd done it.

Collyer came over to me next. I was afraid he was going to saw me in half or something, or make me magically disappear. Thankfully he let me off the hook. "Ruben, cheers!" We clinked glasses, and I wished him a happy 41st birthday. He stared at the beer I was holding. "I thought former addicts weren't allowed to drink alcohol?" Chad asked, without being even slightly judgemental or patronizing - he was just genuinely interested. I was happy to respond. "We're not. Despite what those punks in the 12 Step Program say though, it's possible to have a couple of Heinekens without ending up snorting lines of coke in the back of some dude's car." Chad laughed. I changed the subject before things got too personal.

"A magician?! You?! I'd never have thought it!" I said, genuinely surprised. Chad nodded, before answering: "I've always been into showbiz, even as a kid. Wrestling and Mysticism were always my loves, so I trained in both. I prioritized wrestling for a long time - which is inevitable when you're trained by a legend like Dean Malenko. Hell, I even started my career as 'Chad Malenko' under the gimmick of his son. With that kind of backing, you've no choice but to focus on the dirty old game. Wrestling's been good to me, taken me all over the world. I've won titles in every continent, wrestled more classics than all the kids in this room put together. I've had more success than I ever could have realistically hoped for. But it consumed me. Wrestling really took over my life. But I'm in my 40s now, and I've had plenty of time to ponder the big things. My Mysticism is firmly back in the picture now. I love it. My wife loves it. My kids think it's amazing. And I make a damn good living with it too. I do more of the mentalist side really - mind reading, spoon bending, contacting the deceased, that kinda thing. I just crank up the magic side of things for the kids. I got years left in the wrestling game, but why not do both? I can move objects with my mind and speak to spirits trapped beyond this realm. I'm basically a hetero David Copperfield. And I can kick ass too."

I nodded. This was a guy who'd kicked ass in WWE, OVW, NWA, ROH, HWA, TNA, and countless others. He's wrestled half the superstars ever to grace our screens, and made them scream like babies too with his brutal submission style. He's a bit of a legend, really, even if he never found mainstream fame or the recognition he deserves. Larger than life, an extremely colorful character despite his straight-edge, no bullshit ring persona, Chad is one of those people you can't believe really exists in real life. One massively talented individual.

Christ knows how we managed to get him on our roster. It must have been magic.

OOC: Do YOU want to book Chad Collyer for a party, show or event? Do YOU want Chad's magical talents for your corporate gig, house party or club night? He can do magic tricks, palm reading, psychic stuff, spoon bending, mind reading, and can probably levitate too. The man's basically a professional wizard, and is taking bookings for 2016. Click here to see the wonder for yourself. Sometimes you don't have to make weird and wonderful things up. Real life is often more wondrous than anything you could write or imagine.

Don't worry folks, Chad Collyer will be back to hurting people at RTG: Random Violence. He has a score to settle with Billy Kim, and wants to watch him suffer. Will he get his wish? What's next in his cunning, sinister plan for Kim's downfall? Stay tuned to find out - results coming soon!

dstephe4 · March 10, 2016

the one where all the matches were drawn completely at random, thus the name

RTG: Random Violence - Results

What should've been a night of celebration for us all turned into an evening of mixed emotions. The mood was very high in the locker room after Chad Collyer's birthday party. Things got even better when it turned out we'd smashed our record for number of tickets sold, with a breathtaking 32 people in the stands - a number which frankly pissed all over our previous attendance record of 16. RTG was on a high, and it felt like we'd made some sort of breakthrough.

Things turned sour after that though. Firstly there was a backstage incident which put the whole occasion under a dark cloud, and seemed to really affect not just morale, but the wrestler's performances during the show. I can't go into details right now until the dust has settled and all the facts are known. Suffice to say there will be consequences. Things went even further south when our drunken fans consumed a record amount of Mickey D's über-strength beer and started vomiting. And I mean everywhere. It must be the summer heat, or the high alcohol content, or maybe our fans just can't handle their booze. The smell was nasty though. Things came to a head when some guy with more piercings than I'd thought humanly possible slipped on said vomit, fell down a bunch of stairs and cracked their head open on the concrete floor. The sight of him being loaded into the ambulance definitely spooked our roster. The crowd seemed to enjoy it though, the bloodthirsty bastards.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Ambulance.jpg

Neeee naw, neeee naw, neeee naw!

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

God's own representative in RTG, our authority Father Milo Augustini, kicked off the show. He had a little ceremony in honor of our new Invitational Champion Ty Hagen. The belt was presented to him, music played, and we set off those fireworks that color commentator Benny D stole from WalMart last month. It looked pretty good, even if the local police did mistaken the bangs for a gang war, sending in a police chopper to investigate. Hagen looked thrilled to begin his first ever run as a champion in his career. Everyone's happy for him. Father Milo then reminded Hagen that he'll be defending it against a mystery opponent tonight - could be any wrestler from any company, from anywhere in the world. Angle rating: 22.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Tommy Kim then came to the ring. He joined Hagen and Father Milo in calling out Chad Collyer. Everyone was pissed off after Collyer - who seemed to have last month's battle royal won, deliberately threw the match and self-eliminated. Threats were made. Answers were demanded. Birthday boy Collyer appeared with his ever-present smug grin smeared across his face. He pushed Augustini and Hagen to one side, then got right up in Kim's face. Kim didn't back down. Shit very nearly got real. Collyer then explained his scandalous actions:

"Listen up Kim you little maggot. I've won nearly a dozen championship belts in my career, in multiple continents. I've worn more gold than Mr T and the Pope put together. I've achieved more in my career than every piss-ant on the roster here at RTG. Do you honestly believe I give a crap about some shiny trinket you silly little bitches have fabricated? This new title of yours is so far beneath me I wouldn't use it as a coaster. It was never about the gold for me. It's all about respect.

Months ago I gave you the chance of a lifetime, Tommy Kim. I gave you the chance to share a ring with me for a second time. Anyone with brains would've jumped at the chance to learn from an unsung legend like me. But you turned your back. You disrespected me in front of everybody. Instead of fighting me you chose to get your ass kicked by some skinny former junkie. That same day I promised you that I would destroy you for the disrespect you showed me. I told the world I'd break you down until there was nothing left of you, without laying a finger on you. That battle royal last month was just another chapter in the story of your agonizing downfall. I don't care about shiny gold baubles. I just care about getting the respect I - and my illustrious career - deserve. You will serve as a warning, Kim. A warning written in blood!" Angle rating: 32

Aaron Draven & Nooie Lee vs Jerrelle Clark & Javi Air

#1 contender Aaron Draven has made no secret of his anger. Social media has been ablaze with his vitriol after it was announced he'll have to wait another month before his shot at the RTG World Trophy. He took out all this anger on the unfortunate Javi Air, flattening him to the canvas and punishing him with just about every high flying move in the book. His partner Nooie Lee couldn't get a look in until he forced the blind tag, during which time a battered Javi managed to crawl to the corner and tag in Jerrelle Clark. The two went at it like a house on fire - Lee's stiff attacks and Clark's underhanded tactics all drawing big pops from the crowd. Draven injected himself back into proceedings though, with the ref losing control of the bout, Clark getting his ass handed to him through a series of eye-catching 2-on-1 maneuvers. Javi, having recovered from his beating, slingshot into the ring and began turning the tide. The guy can fly, that's for sure. Draven and Lee made too formidable a team, however, and Javi eventually succumbed despite a brave showing. A fun, exciting opening match-up, which got Nooie Lee a well-deserved victory.

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Aaron Draven and Nooie Lee defeated Jerrelle Clark and Javi-Air in 11:59 when Nooie Lee defeated Javi-Air by pinfall with a Dragon Bomb. Match rating: 40.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Derek Frazier and Josh Daniels continued their feud by trading insults ahead of Josh's match. As previous, Josh kept things classy, insinuating that Frazier lacked the experience needed to take him to the top here in RTG. Frazier, as previous, went down the opposite road, stating that Daniels was the result of a freak scientific accident involving deranged monkeys, lube, a mad scientist and some faulty lab equipment. Daniels didn't like that, grabbing Frazier by the hair and throwing him out the ring. His opponents Benjamin Bray and Stallyn Smith then made their entrances, while Frazier seethed at ringside. Angle rating: 27.

Josh Daniels vs Benjamin Bray vs Stallyn Smith

Benny Bray continued his run of good form by dominating things early on with his usual crisp aerial wrestling and speed. He still needs to stiffen up his offense though, as at times it looked like he was trying to tickle his opponents rather than hurt them. Daniels capitalized on a mistake and took over, single-handedly turning this into an elite display of technical wrestling, keeping both his opponents grounded with strikes and submissions. It wasn't long however until Frazier interfered, slamming Daniels' head against the corner post then rubbing his eyes across the top rope. The referee - like so many in pro wrestling - was furious yet powerless. Into the mix came Stallyn Smith, who took charge of the match with perhaps his best ever RTG performance. After the fans turned on him last show for his half-assed displays, vocally shitting on him, he seems to have got the message. His workrate has greatly improved. He looked like an actual, proper little wrestler out there, taking advantage of the fallen Daniels by putting a high flying beating on both men. He was brutalizing Daniels in the corner (with a little help from Frazier, ringside) while Bray recovered and snuck up behind him. With the element of surprise in his favor, he spun the unsuspecting Smith round and took him out with a Lungbuster, followed by a strangely gentle-looking Tiger Bomb, and got the 3 count. As Daniels furiously got back to his feet, Frazier hot-footed it to the back.

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Benjamin Bray defeated Josh Daniels and Stallyn Smith in 11:51 when Benjamin Bray defeated Stallyn Smith by pinfall. During the match we also had Derek Frazier distract Josh Daniels. Stallyn Smith is improving in Performance skills. Match rating: 38.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Bray, seemingly psyched up by another win and by his recent good fortunes, then got on the mic and issued an open challenge. Another hungry competitor Jerrelle Clark was keen to accept. Father Milo, impressed by this impromptu challenge, made the match official for next show. With current #1 contender Aaron Draven fighting for the title next show, Father Milo announced this match would crown the new #1 contender! Angle rating: 32.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Tommy_Kim.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/VS.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Johnny_Riggs.jpg

"Funky" Tommy Kim vs Johnny Riggs

Tommy Kim has announced he's bringing back his old nickname "Funky." The fans seem to like it, and it makes his Saturday Night Fever style outfit kinda make sense. It fits his fun-loving personality well too, and you can see he's loving every second he's in the ring. Also back were Kim's trademark Knife Edge Chops, as Kim took control with strikes so loud they could be heard from outer space. Riggs' chest was crimson, he was visibly wincing with every hit. Riggs looked terrified of those chops, his eyes begging for the pain to stop. The crowd cheered each one, seemingly feeding off Riggs' pain like sharks sensing blood. Kim was firmly in control, bashing Johnny about like a rag doll until Chad Collyer appeared on the ring apron. Collyer began yelling at Riggs with instructions on how to counter each move, instructing him to go for the legs. Kim's legs hadn't healed properly since last time, and Johnny took full advantage of this.

Riggs was more than eager to repay Kim for the pain he'd suffered, taking his legs out from underneath him with a Dropkick. He then utilized every submission move he could think of, each grinding down and further wounding Kim's weakened legs. A top rope Senton directly to the legs made Kim scream out. A leaping Moonsault to the lower body made Kim roll in agony. Riggs raised his arms in mock victory, signalling the end was nigh. He picked up the hurt and no-longer funky looking Kim and tried for his Riggs Rotation finisher. Kim had just enough left in the tank to stop this, however, skillfully countering into a La Magistral pin for a close fall. Riggs was stunned momentarily by this, giving Tommy just enough time for his own finisher, the aptly named Twist Of Funk.

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Tommy Kim defeated Johnny Riggs in 12:48 by pinfall with a Twist of Funk. During the match we also had Chad Collyer distract Tommy Kim. Match rating: 36. Knife edge chops: 52. Tassels: 14.

Johnny Riggs shook Tommy Kim's hand in a great display of sportsmanship. The fans seemed pleased with Riggs so far, and in time he could grow to become a fan favorite. Tommy Kim, furious at Chad Collyer's meddling, taunted Collyer on the mic, defiantly claiming he'll never quit no matter what gauntlet Collyer makes him go through, no matter what punishment he has lined up. Furious at how Collyer screwed him out of the Invitational Classic, Kim swore revenge. "I'm still here you bastard" he yelled. Angle rating: 30.

Derek Frazier vs Chad Collyer vs Dixie

Chad Collyer likes hurting people. He's good at it. It's what makes him happy. With his enemy Tommy Kim in serious pain and hardly able to walk, he seemed satisfied enough to focus on hurting other people - specifically Dixie. Frazier hung around ringside, watching over his shoulder in case Josh Daniels turned up seeking retribution. This gave Collyer the time he needed to go at Dixie like a rottweiler savaging a chew toy. Dixie, selfless as always, made Chad look a million dollars. It wasn't until he was locked into a savage Indian Deathlock that Frazier decided to interject, hitting a sweet top rope Missile Dropkick before Dixie tapped. Collyer was sent clean out the ring, landing painfully on the concrete floor outside.

Frazier was a man on fire, hitting his best aerial moves literally in alphabetical order, each time leaving Dixie splatted on the canvas like a bug. He then flipped all 32 audience members the bird. Even though he's trying his very best to be an obnoxious bastard, our deranged fans like Frazier. He works so hard trying to be a dick, only to accidentally get face heat each time. He glided to the top turnbuckle, ready for his 630 Splash finisher. He took a little extra time to yell obscenities at the fans though, turning his back. Dixie, showing huge heart despite his ass kicking, found the strength to get up. The biggest pop of the night so far came when Dixie pushed Frazier off the top rope onto the concrete with a bang. Frazier sold it perfectly though, was in little danger, but made the spot look brutal. The fan's cheers became even louder when Josh Daniels showed up. He posed above the unconscious Frazier, pulling silly faces and mocking his fallen foe. He then grabbed a fan's cell phone, took selfies of himself with the comatose Frazier, and posted them online for the world to see.

Meanwhile Chad was back in the ring, putting on a solid back-and-forth wrestling display with Dixie. Dixie more than held his own, hitting some crisp moves which sadly went largely unnoticed thanks to the shenanigans ringside. Chad finally got the upper hand with a Reverse Vertical Suplex. Josh Daniels departed, having won this battle. Frazier then regained consciousness and slid back into the ring, sneaking up behind Collyer. There was a despicable low blow. There was a lightning fast Discharge Driver. There was a winner. Chad seemed pissed at first, but then amused. He lost the match, but didn't seem concerned, having already achieved his objective tonight.

In a bout that had solid in-ring action but not much in the way of heat, Derek Frazier defeated Chad Collyer and Dixie in 12:33 when Derek Frazier defeated Chad Collyer by pinfall with a Discharge Driver. Match rating: 43.

The crowd were then upstanding in anticipation of who tonight's mystery challenger would be. Father Milo took center stage, made a little speech, before announcing that Ty Hagen will be defending his Invitational Title against...

Drum roll please...

Charlie Haas!!!

The crowd were happy and showed their appreciation. More than a few though were clearly wondering what the hell someone this famous was doing in a shit-hole town like this. Angle rating: 36.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Charlie Haas then cut a lengthy promo. Considering his fee was six times what the rest of the roster make, you bet your ass he cut a promo. We're all about value for money here at RTG. He antagonized the crowd, saying a bunch of retarded losers like them were unworthy of his time. He wouldn't let them wash his car. He wouldn't let them mow his lawn. He wouldn't let them wipe his ass. He would walk the stands and individually spit in each one of their faces, but they were not worth the saliva. The crowd popped, but this wasn't a work. Haas genuinely hated being here. He despised every second. I know this for a fact, as he told me so. Often. Angle rating: 40.

Ty Hagen vs Charlie Haas

For the RTG Invitational Title

Charlie Haas is a spectacular wrestler who brought real wrestling skills to the WWE in a time of bullshit and ridiculousness. He's renowned the world over. To say bringing him to RTG was a coup would be a huge understatement. Sure he's retired a couple of times since those glory days, but he's still an immense talent and a big name. Even our most drunken fans knew him and applauded when he climbed into our shoddy little ring. The Charlie Haas who arrived at RTG however wasn't quite as I'd imagined.

Haas is one of the most tightly wound people I ever met, to the point of seeming dangerous. And this is coming from a guy who used to associate with crazed crystal meth fiends, lunatic junkies and murderous drug dealers. Haas is intense to the point of being scary. He also doesn't blink, which is just plain creepy. He took this intensity into the ring with him, immediately taking down the unsuspecting Hagen. And hard. Using the skills he picked up in WWE and his trek around the globe, Haas literally tried to tie our Invitational Champion in knots. The holds and submissions he applied were brutal and looked like they really hurt. And watching the footage back on our YouTube page, I'm pretty sure they DID hurt. To say his work was stiff would be an understatement. This was literally an ass kicking. Haas controlled most of the match, dominating his opponent and hardly letting Hagen get any offense in.

Things nearly boiled over when our guest decided referee Bill Clark had deliberately done a slow count. He ran over and literally began strangling the life out of the poor bastard, who ended up kneeing our visiting superstar in the balls. This was something both our commentators Swedish Dave and Benny D decided was hilarious, marking the first time they've agreed on anything. All it did was further enrage Haas though, as he grabbed Clark by the hair and began shaking him violently. By then Hagen had recovered just enough to German Suplex Haas from behind, holding on for dear life for the pin. Haas wriggled and kicked, doing his best to escape, but there was no way on Earth Ty Hagen was letting go. He got a shock pinfall win after what could be best described as a rather... over-enthusiastic count from our referee.

A fan's photo of Charlie Haas. Freakishly intense.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Ty Hagen defeated Charlie Haas in 15:39 by pinfall. Ty Hagen makes defence number 1 of his RTG Invitational title. Charlie Haas was visibly tiring toward the end. Match rating: 30.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Aaron Draven was pissed off at having to wait two months for his re-match for the RTG World Trophy. He let us all know this in an insult-laden promo in which he accused me, the champ, of running scared. He said that the moment I step into the ring with him, it'll be game over. He called himself the champion in waiting; a king in recess. I called him a whiney little bitch and pointed out it was Father Milo Augustini who'd made today's special, completely random card. I said that while the idea of kicking Draven's ass was very appealing, kicking Matt Stryker's ass instead would be nearly as much fun. The crowd popped at that point, which confused the hell out of me. I didn't realise that Stryker and his ally ZZ Hook had stealthily slid into the ring behind me. A crafty sneak attack followed, as the bell rung to start our match. Angle rating: 38.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Matt Stryker is a really solid wrestler with great fundamentals. Along with the likes of Josh Daniels and Chad Collyer, he comes from a generation that really focussed on the subtle things that can make a good match great. This was a time before every bastard out there thought a Triple Senton was the cornerstone of a match. Sure, folks like Stryker might lack the sparkle and sizzle you see in places like WWE and TNA, but they can wrestle twice as well as most of the so-called "superstars" of today. They remind me of my one-time mentor "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, only these guys aren't pricks. It makes me happy to have so many fundamentally talented names on our roster, and if I can get them even a fraction of the recognition and fame they deserve, I'll be a happy man.

Gushing compliments aside, however, and back to Stryker trying to carve a hole in my face with his boot. The ref pushed ZZ Hook out the ring, but by then Stryker had the upper hand. Together we put on a really solid wrestling display, with him using smooth chain wrestling and fast submission skills, and me drawing on all the crafty little tricks "The Franchise" taught me back in the day. Matt Stryker came out on top but it was proper wrestling at it's best. I then took things up a notch by Mule Kicking him in the nuts, DDTing him, and hitting a big Double Jump Moonsault, with a close count to follow. It was a section of well-received high flying attack from me, with several pinfall attempts. Each time Stryker looked done for, only for ZZ Hook to continually break up the counts. He distracted the ref at just the right moments. He distracted me at strategic times. He was Stryker's secret weapon, and brought the challenger close to pulling off the upset, when Stryker hit a Dominator out of nowhere and almost got the win. Throughout all this, Draven was stood ringside, booing me loudly and applauding Stryker. He never interfered in the match - ZZ Hook was doing plenty of that on his own - but he had an impact just by being there. His very presence was an obvious distraction. He scouted us both, knowing he'd face either man next month. After a solid but not spectacular match, however, and despite Hook's tricks, I managed to secure the win.

In a bout that had a good crowd and some decent in-ring action, Ruben T Garrison defeated Matt Stryker in 15:44 by pinfall with a Hart Attack. During the match we also saw ZZ Hook run in and attack RTG, and Aaron Draven also distract RTG. Ruben T Garrison makes defence number 5 of his RTG World Trophy title. Match rating: 34.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

I felt disappointed with the main event. Sure it was more than good enough for a tiny company like RTG, but compared with last month's main event, it fell visibly short. I was partly to blame for that, as I was really off my game tonight. Lots of our guys were. The atmosphere hadn't been right at all since the backstage incident I mentioned earlier, but that's a story for later. For now I still had that fan-favorite pain in the ass Draven to deal with. He was back in the ring, mic in hand, taunting me with mock applause after my win. Draven declared he'd waited long enough for his chance at the RTG World Trophy, and demanded his title shot next month. I told him I'd love to fight him, that kicking his ass and humiliating him before the whole world would bring me immense satisfaction. He seemed happy with this, and finished by kissing the asses of the record 32 fans in attendance. They love him, long time. I just nodded and smiled, happy in the knowledge I had plenty more tricks up my sleeve for that punk... Angle rating: 45.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Divider.jpg

Overall rating: 37.

What does RTG have planned for Draven? Will the self-proclaimed "Omega" get his dream of becoming champion? And can Tommy Kim survive more punishment via the manipulative Chad Collyer? What next for Daniels and Frazier, whose simmering rivalry could boil over at any moment? And then there's Ty Hagen - still champion (just barely) - but who will he face next? Stay tuned to find out!

The one where one of the kiddies does not play well with the other kiddies

Charlie Haas fans: there's a big disclaimer at the bottom of this post, please read that before anyone accuses me of Haas-bashing lol

Incident Report - Backstage Just Before RTG: Random Violence

Normally when you book a wrestler for a show, you call them up, offer them cash, give them the date, and that's pretty much it. With Charlie Haas it was all done through a manager / agent / sycophant / middle-man. I'd been extremely honest with this douche, telling him the show would be in a grubby scrap yard in the armpit of nowhere, with a crowd of maybe 20. The manager didn't care, so long as I paid Haas' painfully high fee - which was roughly 6 times that of our next highest paid wrestler. He hung up and I yelped with excitement. What a coup, bringing such a huge name to a lowly fed like RTG. I was giddy. We all were.

There's an old saying: "never meet your heroes, you will only be disappointed." Charlie Haas wasn't a hero to us per se, but was miles above our level. Before the show everyone wanted to shake his hand, have selfies taken with him, get autographs etc. Haas however clearly wasn't in the mood, locking himself in his car until we all promised to leave him alone. He looked at the venue with disgust. You could tell from his face he wasn't just disappointed - he was appalled. Clearly his agent / handler / whatever had lied his ass off. Christ knows what Haas was told, but he was clearly expecting something other than the microscopic little show he'd arrived at. I hoped he'd be professional about it, bite his lip, get through things with a smile, put on a good show, then never be seen again. That would've been fine, all things considered. But instead, he decided to be an absolute tool. He let every single member of the roster know they were beneath him. He looked at even our biggest names like they were pieces of shit. He demanded his own dressing room, which meant half the roster had to get changed in an alleyway near the venue. When our road agent Rachel Summerlyn - herself a respected former wrestler - tried to go through the match plan, he told her to shut up and fetch him a sandwich. This wasn't just some guy with an ego being a bit rude, this was a man deliberately trying to be a prick. And then the incident happened.

http://twistededge.org/RTG/Charlie_Haas.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Bill_Clark.jpghttp://twistededge.org/RTG/Chad_Collyer.jpg

Not a happy scene.

Referee Bill Clark came in and informed Haas of the plans for the night. Haas was angry at only fighting for our secondary title, insulted at anything less than the main event slot. But when Clark told him he was to lose, Haas completely lost it. Witnesses say he literally strangled the poor bastard. Chad Collyer was nearby and tried to split up the altercation, which quickly turned into a fight between the two. Both are highly trained competitors who are adept at dishing out pain. Let's just say things weren't pretty. The 'dressing room' got trashed. Obscenities were screamed. Half the roster were needed to pry the two apart. Haas then tried to storm off, threatening to get back in his car and forfeit the whole thing. He told me, the company owner, to shove my money up my ass - despite already having been paid. I had no choice but to read him the Riot Act, but he didn't care. He agreed to stick around for his match, but you could tell he wasn't going to pull out a classic. The incident spooked the whole locker-room and put a dark cloud over the whole show. You could tell people were jaded by the incident, and I think it had a dramatically detrimental effect on everything.

The day after the show, five members of our roster phoned me, each saying that if Charlie Haas was ever invited back, they'd quit. It was only a one night gig anyhow, but that was just the icing on the cake. I'd always been a bit of a fan of Charlie's and had loved his run in WWE. I even bought bootleg recordings of his matches in Japan and Britain, because the quality of his performances was so good. I'd had such high hopes for his guest spot at RTG, hoping his inclusion would take us to the next level. But what do I know? I'm just some loser piece of shit former junkie playing at being a businessman. And this whole incident reminded me how tiny a company we are. Screw it, I'm getting a beer or five, and will try to wipe this whole catastrophe from my brain before it gives me an ulcer.

Dear Charlie Haas fans: I didn't want to upset people by writing Haas like this, and don't want people to think I'm being unfair or overly mean to him. I'm sure in real life he's a wonderful human being and a joy to work with. But in the mod I'm using he's a truly toxic human being. He single handedly dropped my backstage rating by 21%, and started a fight that same night. It was impossible within the confines of the game for him to have been more of a bastard. A shame, because during his time with WWE he was genuinely magnificent. I like Charlie Haas. But clearly the maker of the mod didn't share my sunny view of him.
