After his win in the tag main event last week, Joshua Taylor takes on Bryan Vessey in a huge main event. Can Taylor capitalize on last week's big victory by defeating the legendary Vessey?

New Chief Executive of Wrestling Phil Vibert has decided to let the tension from last week's backstage brawls be settled in the ring. Will Jay Chord vs Mighty Mo and Human Arsenal settle the issues between the competitors?

Finally, American Buffalo takes on Darryl Devine. Can Buffalo make a statement to RDJ with a convincing victory or will 'Mighty Fine' score the upset victory?

Can't wait to see where you go with this! TCW's long been my favorite company, and it looks like Vibert's immediately got them heading in a positive direction.

Joshua Taylor vs Bryan Vessey

Taylor always seems like something of a jobber-to-the-stars type to me. I always struggle to find any sort of character or motivation for him--so I can't see him going over all your top heels in the course of two shows. If Vessey's not too badly into time decline, I'd prefer to keep him strong, although I suppose it wouldn't be too surprising to see Bach involve himself here to try and even the score with Vessey.

Human Arsenal vs Troy Tornado

This looks like a tossup. I'm tempted to pick Tornado, as it seems like traditionally the heel would go over to begin a feud, but I'm more confident in my choices for the other three matches, and I don't want to put all the heels over. I don't know if Vibert will be too concerned about a heel-heavy show, but it seems prudent to try to keep some balance, and Tornado may be just the sort of sniveling heel who gets himself intentionally DQ-ed to send a message.

American Buffalo vs Darryl Devine

Hard to see Buffalo losing here as he's much higher on the card and involved in a major storyline.

Jay Chord vs Mighty Mo

I can't see a decisive finish between these two at this point, so I'd suspect either a draw or a cheap win for Jay.

Where's Tana?? A glaring lack of jolly fat Samoans on the card.

Human Arsenal vs Troy Tornado

Double T too far over

American Buffalo vs Darryl Devine

American Buffalo can't work a 5 minute match, but he is in a main event program, so he'll pick up a victory.

Jay Chord vs Mighty Mo

Both guys get counted out? Sounds like both guys get counted out.

Jay Chord vs Mighty Mo

We kick off with these two fierce rivals continuing their longstanding rivalry. Mo is still favouring his knee from last week's assault, but any attempt by Jay Chord to take advantage of the injury is met by a flurry of offense.

Jay Chord eventually stops Mighty Mo's momentum (say that fast three times) with a back elbow and looks to set up his Cradle Piledriver. Mo is able to drag Chord to the ropes, looking for the break, but Chord won't release his grip. The two men begin to throw wild punches at each other while tangled in the ropes, ignoring Referee Johnson's count. This gives Johnson no option but to throw the match out!

Double DQ @ 13:14 (B-)

Backstage, we see new TCW World Tag Team Champions The New Wave walking to the locker room. The Canadian Animals pass them, with Ed Stone unable to keep his mouth shut. A brawl breaks out, with backstage security quickly breaking the two teams up.©

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/American%20Buffalo_zpsqqylflng.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Floyd%20Goldworthy_zpsbpjzu4a5.jpg

As American Buffalo and Floyd Goldworthy walk through the Crippler Position, towards the curtain, we see Goldworthy turn to face the cameraman following them and give his thoughts on RDJ's challenge last week.

Goldworthy: "RDJ...you had the nerve to say American Buffalo wasn't a real man at your little press conference last week. Buffalo proved he was a real man when he left you laying Ricky! Buffalo proved he was a real man when he broke your ribs!

I suggest you stay out of Buffalo's way Ricky, in case he feels like showing you what a real man is again..." (B-)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/American%20Buffalo_zpsqqylflng.jpg VS http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Darryl%20Devine_zps30lhcqv6.jpg

American Buffalo vs Darryl Devine
Devine is used to fighting larger opponents from his time in USPW, but he's never faced anyone as large and vicious as American Buffalo. The bigger man targets Devine's ribs with punches and a bear hug, leaving Devine gasping for air.

A missed Buffalo charge allows Devine to make a comeback, but that comeback is halted when Buffalo turns Devine Intervention (Springboard Back Elbow) into a backbreaker. A vicious Stampede (Running Powerslam) finishes.

Winner – American Buffalo @7:33 ©

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/American%20Buffalo_zpsqqylflng.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Ricky%20Dale%20Johnson_zpsbas8ynuy.jpg

As Ray Johnson raises American Buffalo's hand, RDJ storms down to the ring! Buffalo tries to stare down RDJ down, but RDJ simply climbs on to the ring apron and motions to Buffalo that he's come for a fight!

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Rocky%20Golden_zpsmft9pxzp.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Joshua%20Taylor_zpshwksligc.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Wolf%20Hawkins_zpsllxikdgi.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Aaron%20Andrews_zpsvdioln3e.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Eddie%20Peak_zpsaodu35ri.jpg

Both men quickly charge at each other, but the ring is quickly flooded by wrestlers looking to break up the warring pair. As Rocky Golden and Joshua Taylor keep RDJ in one of the corners of the ring, Wolf Hawkins, Aaron Andrews, Bryan Vessey and Eddie Peak lead American Buffalo and Floyd Goldworthy to the back. (B-)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Phil%20Vibert_zpspo2xffpk.jpg

After the ring has been cleared, 'Epic' by Faith No More hits and Phil Vibert walks through the TCW Totaltron and down the ramp to the ring. Taking a mic, he quickly enters the ring and addresses the back.

Vibert: "My name...is Phil Vibert and I am the Chief Executive of Wrestling in TCW. My goal is to put on the best wrestling show on that I can for the great TCW fans."

As the crowd cheers this statement, Vibert raises his hand to quiet them

Vibert: "However, I need to be brutal to achieve my goal. Last week, I said that all talent should 'prepare to succeed.' Not all the talent did this. Can I please invite Giant Tana to the ring?"

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Tana%20The%20Mighty_zpstwvxn6hj.jpg

The crowd cheers as the friendly Samoan giant makes his way to the ring, holding what looks like a knife and fork.

Tana: "Hi, er Mr Vibert...how can I help?"

Vibert; "What's with the knife and fork?"

Tana: "Sorry Mr Vibert, I was just ordering from catering-"

Vibert: "-you were ordering from catering...during the show?"

Tana: "Well, I was a little hungry and thought I sit and watch the great action with a little snack-"

Vibert: "-did you think that maybe, you might want to be involved in the show?"

Tana: "Well, yeah, but if you don't need me-"

Vibert: "-don't need you? It's not about needing you! It's about you making TCW need you! Do you think Rip Chord ever sat in the back thinking "Well, I'm not in a match, better just watch the show?" No. Rip Chord got involved in the show. He set a target, picked his fight and strived until he got his match."

Tana: "I understand Mr Vibert."

Vibert: "Then...what are you going to do about it?"

Tana: "Next week, I'll order my catering before the show and-"

Vibert: "No...you're not getting me. The greats don't order catering on a show night. They're some of the best athletes of all time...they have a diet plan worked out and are fed and prepared hours before the show. Remember what I said...'prepare to succeed.' Be prepared and you will succeed."

Tana: "Yes Mr Vibert."

Vibert: "Well...because I'm a nice guy, I'm going to help you. Next week you have a match against Joel Bryant, one of the most dedicated wrestlers in the industry. I want to see you make the most of it."

Tana: "Thanks Mr Vibert."

Vibert: "You're welcome. Be prepared and you will succeed."

Tana: "Thank you Mr Vibert, I will be prepared and I will succeed."

Vibert: "That's exactly what I want to hear. Oh and Tana? If you lose....you're fired."

Vibert simply glares at Giant Tana and exits the ring, leaving the Samoan looking very worried.... (B-)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Human%20Arsenal_zpsgvb2ph3y.jpg VS http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Troy%20Tornado_zpswv766awf.jpg

Human Arsenal vs Troy Tornado

Arsenal is all business out here, while Tornado slinks around the ring, swaggering up to Arsenal to try and antagonise him. Arsenal doesn't fall for this tactic though – he simply attacks Tornado and methodically grinds away with big strikes.

Tornado is eventually able to force an opening by wriggling out of a belly to belly suplex and raking Arsenal's eyes behind Referee Johnson's back. Tornado sticks with attacking the eyes of Arsenal with measured punches...only for a Star Maker (Flying Forearm) attempt to be countered with a lariat!

As Arsenal sets up for the Ammo Dump (Sit out double underhook facebuster), Tornado goes to his pocket and grabs something...glitter?!? He quickly throws it into Human Arsenal's eyes, causing Arsenal to roar in pain. Human Arsenal is forced to release his underhooks and Tornado quickly capitializes by rolling Arsenal up and hooking his tights for 3!

Winner – Troy Tornado @ 19:43 (B-)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Aaron%20Andrews_zpsvdioln3e.jpg

Aaron Andrews is out next, mic in hand.

Andrews: "There has been a lot of talk about Rocky Golden's rematch...As champion, I have decided to come out here and settle the issue. Rocky, could you please join me?"

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Rocky%20Golden_zpsmft9pxzp.jpg

Rocky Golden comes out, high fiving the fans and shaking hands with the announce team.

Rocky: "Aaron, how can I help you today?"

Andrews: "Well, there has been some talk that..that I'm dodging you. That I don't want to wrestle you."

Rocky: "Did that talk occur while you were running away from me last week?"

Andrews: "I wasn't running away Rocky, it was tactical. Maybe if you understood ring tactics like me, you would still be champion."

Rocky: "I understand your 'ring tactics' Aaron...I just prefer to use my skills to win matches instead."

Andrews: "That's what I'm talking about. New champ gets the gold and the previous champion puts him down."

Rocky: "It comes with the territory Aaron...you want to be the best, you gotta silence the doubters."

Andrews: "Well, Rocky...that is what I am proposing tonight. I propose that you get your rematch...at Malice in Wonderland."

The crowd roar as Rocky nods his approval

Andrews: "Please understand though... the term 'rematch' is singular. If you lose this match, then you will not be able to face me again while I am champion."

Rocky: "Really Aaron? Well, it's a good thing I'm going to beat you then, isn't it?"

Andrews: "There you go again...always with the negativity. Always with the put downs."

Rocky simply shrugs and smiles at Andrews

Andrews: "Fine, well I'll arrange for my lawyers to draft up a contract for us to sign next week. I'll confirm we can go ahead once Vibert has signed it off."

Rocky: "Ok Aaron...while you draft contracts, I'll just start training for the match."

Andrews: "Always with the quips. I'll be in touch."

With this agreement made, Rocky offers his hnd for a handshake. Andrews simply looks at Golden's outstretched hand and smirks, before exiting the ring and heading to the back (B+)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Wolf%20Hawkins_zpsllxikdgi.jpg

At BriCo's "Total Mayhem Total Meeting" session, held before the show, we see Wolf Hawkins meeting with fans and signing his 'TCW Total Mayhem Series 1' action play figure. Hawkins seems polite, but you can tell that he's just going through the motions, his mind is on other things...

When asked about Joshua Taylor by a fan at the Q&A after, Hawkins simply scoffs.

Hawkins: "Joshua Taylor? Typical, I come here to sign all these action figures and someone wants to bring up that waste of space? Look, last week Taylor got lucky. That's all it was. To him, it's probably the most important thing that ever happened to him. To me, it was just another match.

I mean, Taylor beat me in a tag match...not a one on one match. He can never beat me when it matters, when the big pay cheques are up for grabs, when the title shots are to be decided. When it matters, Taylor doesn't matter. It's that simple." (A)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Ricky%20Dale%20Johnson_zpsbas8ynuy.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Phil%20Vibert_zpspo2xffpk.jpg

Back in the Theater of Dreams, we see RDJ storm into Phil Vibert's office.

RDJ: "You saw what happened earlier Vibert. I want American Buffalo in the ring next week!"

Vibert: (imitating RDJ)"Hey Phil how are ya? (pretending to be flattered)'Gee, I'm real swell thanks Ricky, really settling into my new role.'

RDJ: "Do not p**s me off Vibert. That coward has been ducking me, I want a match with him next week!"

Vibert: "Ricky...that's the problem. You're angry, you're not thinking straight. I make matches based on when they suit TCW, not you."

RDJ: "Well, Phil...this match suits TCW very much...because if it doesn't...I might have to beat some poor souls up, beat them until RDJ vs American Buffalo really suits TCW."

Vibert: "Ok, Ricky I hear you...I'll have a think about it, see what I can do."

RDJ goes to grab Vibert, but backstage security enter the office. Seething, RDJ makes his way out of the office (B+)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Joshua%20Taylor_zpshwksligc.jpg VS http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Bryan%20Vessey_zpsh89yobcb.jpg

Joshua Taylor vs Bryan Vessey

This is one of the biggest matches of Joshua Taylor's career and he know it. He's respectful of Vessey, but determined to prove he isn't afraid of Vessey. Meanwhile, Vessey is his usual self – seemingly nonchalent, but always looking capable of exploding at any point.

The match is a slugfest to begin, with neither man really in charge. Taylor takes the Vessey Line, but is able to counter the Vessey Driver with a DDT, then floors him with a charging lariat.

With Vessey dazed, Taylor climbs to the top rope and sets himself for a diving shoulder tackle. As Taylor reaches the top turnbuckle, Wolf Hawkins walks down the ramp, directly in Taylor's eyeline. Taylor is distracted and begins to shout at Hawkins, but doesn't notice Vessey roll to his knees. Taylor turns to look back at Vessey...jumping Vessey Line!

As Charles Hapstander ushers Wolf Hawkins away, Vessey climbs the ropes and grabs Taylor. Super Vessey Plex!!! (Top rope Exploder Suplex) Both men hit the mat hard, but it is Taylor who takes the majority of the impact. Vessey slowly rolls on top of the stunned Taylor as Referee Hapstander counts...1....2....3!

Winner – Bryan Vessey @ 26:38 (B)

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Wolf%20Hawkins_zpsllxikdgi.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Bryan%20Vessey_zpsh89yobcb.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Joshua%20Taylor_zpshwksligc.jpg

Upon Referee Hapstander raising Bryan Vessey's arm, Wolk Hawkins is in the ring, kicking at Joshua Taylor. Hapstander tries to pull Hawkins away, but an amused Vessey pushes him away, clearly in the mood to toy with the almost deadweight Taylor.

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Sammy%20Bach_alt1_zpsyigxknp1.jpg

Hawkins looks to set up Taylor for Full Moon Rising....until Walk This Way kicks in and Sammy Bach races down to the ring! Bach leaps on to the ring apron and quickly pulls himself into a springboard flying forearm, floating over the top rope and striking Wolf Hawkins directly on the temple! As Hawkins bails to the floor, Vessey looks to set up a sneaky Vessey Line, but Bach ducks and responds with a huge dropkick!

Vessey pulls himself to the outside, his earlier playful mood replaced with a scowl. Hawkins on the hand is livid, shouting at Sammy Bach from the arena floor. Bach simply waves Hawkins away and tends to Taylor as we go off the air (B+)

Overall rating - B

Eddie Peak's rental car

Helana, Montana

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20Locations/Montana_zpsnw35l5mi.jpg

Ah Montana...a peaceful place...unless you're sharing a rental car with Eddie Peak.

"Remember that match with Madman Boone? Where I...cracked him with a steel chair and he needed twenty stitches?"

"I still have the blood stains on that suit Eddie, I was doing color commentary"

"Some color for the color commentator? That's good...real good."

I let Eddie drift off to his violent puns and cast my mind back to Tuesday. This week's TCW had been a decent show, slightly behind my first show but with a drop in viewers.The SWF juggernaut had continued rolling with another 'B' show according to the hacks at TEW.com. I had watched the show and hadn't been impressed with the continued Brandon James face push...but I thought it was a solid show. No better than ours, but still a solid show.

The USPW American Wrestling show was a step behind us and SWF again, a B- rating from TEW.com. I wasn't impressed with it – I felt that without Steve Freshley, they would have struggled.

It was becoming clear to me...I could compete with USPW and SWF, but to beat them, I was going to need something special. I was really going to have to bring my A game if I wanted TCW to be No.1...

Friday Week 2 January 2016

A darkened hotel room

Bismarck, North Dakota

Just after midnight. Some people sleep after a house show. I'm not most people.

I had to keep an eye on the competition. Lights off, water and pizza to hand, notepad next to me...I set up the pay per view order and 'purchased' (charging things to TCW's company account feels great) SWF's When Hell Freezes Over from earlier in the night.

Time to see what SWF could offer on PPV.

http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20Locations/Competition/SWF_WhenHell_zpsodbcrq67.jpg

...three and a half hours later, I turned off the television.

I thought the show was decent. Looking at the TEW.com website on my Samsung Galaxy 7 (thanks again TCW), they had graded When Hell Freezes Over a 'B', which I thought was fair.

I hadn't realized how much SWF needed to rebuild their roster. Most of the lower card was attempts to build new talent, though I'm not sure it was successful. Having huge Bear Bekowski lose to midcard mainstay Robbie Retro, Monty Trescade lose to dull tag guy Brett Biggins (I know) and the exciting Mikey Lau losing to steriod mess Big Smack Scott was some strange booking.

Not sure I would have had Valiant defeat hot new heel The Crippler either; I always find Valiant to be fairly uninteresting unless he's warring with Rogue, plus no win ever seems to elevate him. The one thing I learned from booking Chris Caulfield is that the hero only needs big wins. Lose every match bar the blow off. Why would Valiant win here?

I liked the main event of Remo vs Jungle Lord and the story of how Jungle Lord saw this match as his chance to win the 'big one'. Remo is the man for SWF...I would steal him away in a heartbeat, BriCo be dammed. It's his intensity, his aggression...

All they gotta go is start again. Push the new talent, move out the old. It's not 2010 anymore.

No Eric Eisen either. Maybe this year is gonna be a good one after all.

Following on from the chaos at the end of last week's Total Wrestling, Chief Executive of Wrestling Phil Vibert has paired up Joshua Taylor and Sammy Bach to take on Wolf Hawkins and Bryan Vessey. Will the conflict from last week be settled with this match?

The fallout from the Jay Chord vs Mighty Mo match sees Mighty Mo earn a non title qualifier against TCW International Champion Marc Speed, based on his impressive performance. Can Mo earn a title shot with a victory? Furthermore, will Jay Chord accept that Mo made the better impression in their battle?

Elsewhere on the show, RDJ takes on Troy Tornado in a one on one encounter, the war between The New Wave and The Canadian Animals continues when Guide takes on Freddie Huggins and Giant Tana, under pressure from Mr Vibert, faces off with Joel Bryant. Can the friendly Samoan giant impress our Chief Executive of Wrestling with a win?

Lt. Lucrativo · May 26, 2016

Joshua Taylor and Sammy Bach vs Wolf Hawkins and Bryan Vessey

In my view, Wolf is the real star out of these four--got to keep him strong. Plus it's always easier to put the heels over in a close match that isn't going to be a feud-ender via some sort of cheap win.

Ricky Dale Johnson vs Troy Tornado

RDJ is definitely a step or two above Tornado on the pecking order.

Non Title Marc Speed vs Mighty Mo

I could see this going either way. Mo's a bit more over than Speed at the start, I think, but I'm sure Chord would love to cost him an opportunity at the belt. I'll go with Mo, though, because otherwise the International Title holder may be left without a challenger at MiW.

Giant Tana vs Joel Bryant

Tana = Money.

Guide vs Freddy Huggins

Another tough call. The challengers need to look like threats going into the PPV, although I could easily see a DQ victory for Guide here, as well.

For example, Guide is able to trap Huggins in an armbar, only for Huggins to quickly roll on top of Guide for a near fall! Unfortunately, as the contest begins to picks up, Edd Stone sneaks down to ringside and grabs Guide's foot as he hits the ropes. Guide recovers and turns back to Huggins...Huggins Kiss! (Super Kick) 1-2-3! <div style="text-align:center;">Winner – Freddie Huggins @10:03 (B)</div></div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Edd%20Stone_zpspw06wfwk.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Freddy%20Huggins_zpsxoicqahc.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Guide_zpspwg7coyd.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Scout_zpsjqsrow6s.jpg</div> As the bell rings, Edd Stone rolls into the ring and helps Guide up for another Huggins Kiss. This brings Scout to the ring to the ring and he tackles Edd Stone to the mat. Huggins grabs Scout, but Guide spins him round into a right hand! A slugfest between the four men breaks out and it takes security to separate all four. © <div style="text-align:center;">http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Jay%20Chord_zpsogqwidrb.jpg</div> Backstage in the Crippler Position, Jay Chord has a microphone Chord: "I commanded this microphone to register my disgust, my...anger that Mighty Mo was awarded a 'non title qualifier' based on last week.

As good as Bryant is though, Tana has one massive advantage – he's nearly 400lbs of Samoan. This dawns on Bryant as Tana begins to shrug off his attacks and gain in confidence. Bryant is forced to go for broke with a One Shot Drop (Fireman's Carry Slam), but Tana easily counters with a Front Pancake Slam That is the final affirmation for Tana – with a big smile to the crowd, he hits the ropes and delivers a Big Fat Samoan Squash (Running Butt Drop), crushing Bryant. The three count is academic. <div style="text-align:center;">Winner – Giant Tana @7:55 (C+)</div></div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Human%20Arsenal_zpsgvb2ph3y.jpg</div> We see Human Arsenal in the Doctor's office, having drops applied to his injured eyes Arsenal: "Tornado, I'll all for hard hitting contests in the ring, but what you did was a disgrace. You went out of your way to injure me, try and put me out of action. The mistake you made was you didn't finish the job.

Mo for his part sticks to strikes, which forces Speed to cover up and try to pick his spots.

I want to face you for the-" (D+) Before Biggins can finish his sentence, a large man storms into the ring and clotheslines Biggins! The man quickly lifts Biggins to his feet and spikes him with a vicious Inverted Piledriver.

I felt a real connection between us...it was a real eye opener...I'm joking, I'm joking...I make a lot of appearances for charities for people with vision issues so I understand what you're going through.

Tornado's attempts to stall are met with right hands, kicks and clotheslines and he can't get a foothold in the match. Luckily for Tornado, American Buffalo is able to get a foothold in the match...by attacking RDJ from behind.

At a gym near you, or a running track?" Tana: "No, it was just to my local pizza place...saves on the delivery charge, you know?" Vibert: "Wow...just wow. Anyway, I've got your next opponent ready, your next challenge." Tana: "Ok, that's great Mr Vibert. Who is it?" A loud knock on the door interrupts Vibert Vibert: "There he is, you can meet him.

Aaron Andrews makes his way down to the ring, dressed in a suit. Andrews: "Here is the contract for the main event of Malice in Wonderland...Aaron Andrews vs Rocky Golden.

Andrews: "Thanks for joining me Rocky...nice of you to dress up for the occasion." Rocky: "Apologies Aaron...I've been in the gym, just ran down here now." Andrews: "There you go again...another dig at me?" Rocky: "No Aaron, I'm talking about me...I train hard for these big matches and, come Malice in Wonderland, I'll be ready for you." With that said, Rocky signs the contract Andrews: "Woah...did you read the part about the re-match clause?" Rocky: "Yeah...there isn't one (Andrews nods) I'm not worried. I've got my chance at Malice and I'll take it." Andrews signs the contract, slowly Andrews: "Very well, but remember Rocky...that chance is your only chance." Andrews backs out of the ring and slowly heads to the back, never taking his eyes off Rocky. Rocky just shrugs off Andrews' stare and shakes hands with the fans at ringside (A) <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41305" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Joshua%20Taylor_zpshwksligc.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Sammy%20Bach_alt1_zpsyigxknp1.jpg VS http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Bryan%20Vessey_zpsh89yobcb.jpghttp://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20People/Wolf%20Hawkins_zpsllxikdgi.jpg Joshua Taylor and Sammy Bach vs Bryan Vessey and Wolf Hawkins</div> Kyle Rhodes recalls his conversation with Joshua Taylor earlier today, with Taylor stating the importance of this match. Rhodes confims that Taylor has two goals tonight; avenge his loss to Bryan Vessey and defeat Wolf Hawkins again. It's easier said than done – Hawkins is as energetic in the ring as he is lackadasical outside of it while Vessey's two decade reputation as a wrecking machine is well deserved. Taylor and Bach take the fight to their opponents with vigour, with Bach displaying little regard for his safety. Vessey takes advantage of this, catching a cross body attempt and turning it into a backbreaker. This leads to a prolonged beat down of Bach – Hawkins, methodical, Vessey toying with the injured Bach. However Hawkins misjudges a dropkick, giving Bach the chance to tag in a fired up Taylor! Taylor is a house of fire, flooring Hawkins repeatedly and even giving an intruding Vessey a back suplex. Bach returns to take Vessey to the floor with a dangerous clothesline as Taylor turns his attentions back to Hawkins...Full Moon Rising! Hawkins quickly dives on top of the dazed Taylor 1-2-3! <div style="text-align:center;">Winners – Bryan Vessey and Wolf Hawkins @23:43 (B+)</div></div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">Overall – B+</div> <div style="text-align:center;">http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t495/Occasional_Z/TCW%20Locations/TCW%20Logos/TCW_zpskkprukfs.jpg</div>

Baron Beef's Burgers

Columbus, Ohio

"You're in a good mood boss."

I smiled at Eddie. Why wouldn't I be? We had been rated the best show of the week.

We had been graded a B+ for TCW presents Total Wrestling, with SWF Supreme TV scoring a B and USPW getting a B- for USPW American Wrestling.

Our show had gone pretty well and I felt we were on the right road to Malice in Wonderland. Meanwhile SWF were still building new stars and struggling, though I liked the main event, a 3 vs 3 of American Machine, Robbie Retro and Gilmore taking on Remo and The Platinum Blondes.

USPW were a one man show again this week, with Engyma carrying the show this week, The geeks at TEW.com loved his stand off and victory over Steve Freshley. I never got the whole Engyma thing, mainly because I knew who was under the mask. I'd promised I'd never tell anyone-

Eddie brought me back to reality.

"I said, you're in a good...mood boss."

"Sorry Eddie, yes I am. Good show on Tuesday, plans coming together."

"Yeah...is my battle with Tana part of the plan?"

I smirked. Eddie never complained outwardly, but I coulld tell he wasn't happy."

"It's all part of a bigger plan Eddie, you know I'll look after you."

"I know boss."

I tucked into my Baron Burger, a combination of bread, meat and cholesterol and waited for the moment to pass.

"Heard the TCW locker room gave you some grief on Tuesday boss?"

I nodded

"Ah, the famed TCW locker room atmosphere. I think I handled it pretty well."

"What happened?"

"Bascially The Bemoths acted like children. Aaron Andrews goaded Titan into a fight and Killer Shark nearly missed the damn show."

"Would never of had that in DAVE."

"Yeah, cos Wolverine and Nemesis woulda killed them."

"How did you settled it boss?"

"Well, I fined Andrews for the fight-"

"-not Titan?"

"Nah, he had every reason to be upset. Andrews said some s****y things to Titan about his family."

"How did Andrews take it? Complain and whine as usual?"

"Nah, he took it well. I just said to him 'Either don't fight or fight and win. You fought and got a kicking, so you get fined.' Think Andrews was just grateful I stopped Titan from killing him to be honest."

"And Shark?"

"Not much to be said. Turned up late in a mood. I just said 'Killer Shark is Late Shark. If Killer Shark keeps being late, he'll be Unemployed Shark.'"

"How'd he take it?"

"Not well. But that Edward, is what will happen."

"Fair enough boss. We riding together on the loop after Tuesday?"

"Not for a day or two. I'm gonna watch the USPW PPV Wednesday morning then I got a meeting with Kyle and BriCo."

"Trouble?"

"Nah, a monthly thing I'm told. They want to review our finances and our strategy, so I'm gonna ask for more TV time in February. Kyle reckons the Pop Network would jump for another hour or so of TV."

"That's good news boss...my mother keeps watching the show and I ain't on it."

"Well, tell your mother you will be more involved from now on."

"Thanks boss, next time the jail sends Doug the visiting card, I'll tag along and tell her."

Eddie proudly finished his Red Baron Burger (Rare steak on a bun) and waved over the waitress for the bill

"She's only allowed television on Tuesday and Saturday, so if you could arrange a show on Saturday, that would be great."

"I'll do my best Eddie."

I'm sure The Pop! Network would have no problems arranging their schedule to accomodate Eddie Peak's jailbird mother....

I propose a spinoff entitled Unemployed Shark about a jobless Killer Shark doing various minimum wage jobs.
