MrWolf101 Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Death of a Cherry Blossom Mirrors always tell the truth, and right now, all I see is a fraud. http://i.imgur.com/3o0R2SV.jpg When I purchased 5 Star Supreme Wrestling from Sakurako Kagawa five years ago, the company was entering a new period of growth. Built on the new ‘Magic Three’ of Fuyuko Higa, Shiori Jippensha, and Megumi Nakajima, we had the chance to be big. No, we had the chance to takeover Japan. I thought I knew what I was doing, pulling 5SSW into the 21st century, joining forces with the Modern Japan Movement and negotiating a broadcast deal with the J-Network. When we switched our shows from Osaka Athletic Stadium to New Mei Sports Stadium, we doubled our ticket sales. We were on top of the world. So I went on a spending spree, locking up our top workers with guaranteed contracts, and poaching the best talent from around the world by promising them big money. Our ratings spiked, tripling in a few months, but all those new costs added up, and we were bleeding money. That was fine for awhile; banks lined up around the block to invest in us, but then WINNOW went under, and all that cash dried up overnight. I had quadrupled 5SSW’s payroll, but I no longer had the money to fund more than one show per month. One show a month would never be enough to cover all our salaries, but I couldn’t release anyone without paying out what was left on their contracts. 5SSW had never been bigger, and we had never been in so much trouble. We fell further and further into debt, slowly dying, all my fault. I am a failure, a disgrace. I stand here now, looking into this mirror, the world famous Sensational Ogiwara, and I must go into that locker room and tell my workers that I am selling the company to BHOTWG to save Women’s Wrestling in Japan. OOC: I am planning on doing fewer interludes than I have in the past, but this is such an important moment in this game world that I felt I needed to cover it. Of course, I kind of screwed myself by subsequently editing BHOTWG to have a Women's division, but we'll get to that at another point down the line. Good stuff. Should I feel dumb for not catching any possible significance of Kathryn's full name? I've racked my brain trying to figure out who it references. Well, I'm sure I'll find out in time... I assume the name Beth Chase is a reference to Mary Beth Chase, who Kathy is a regen of. Spot on Sudo_Nym. It's a bit of a tongue-in-check reference to the regen system of the game, but I'll also hopefully explain it deeper in the next show as well.

DarEatWorld Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I'm finally caught up with this after my own long hiatus from these boards. Quality is as good as ever. I'm still all about Paige Croft and look forward to seeing what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn’t I pin Gorgon? To be honest Hailey, I don’t know. I knew I could win it, I could picture that belt around my waist, but then I remembered the last time I was Queen of the Ring. I remembered losing everything: my best friend, my job…my dream. So if you want to know why Hailey, I guess it’s because I wasn’t ready, ready to let that gold have power over me again.

Before Winters can do anything to interfere on behalf of her partner, a wave of security floods into the warehouse and creates a wall that the Ice Woman can not find a way through.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Messing:</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>I’ve learned my lesson from the Athena Warrior match. I’m done trusting wrestlers here to do the right thing. I’d love to let Claire get herself destroyed by B.W.A. or Paige before the main event, but there’s no way I’m going to let her affect who wins this match.</em></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Lacking the extra support she had planned on, Laura looks to LaRue and Kass for an alliance, but after feigning interest, B.W.A. respond by bowling the redhead over.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Turning their attention to Croft, the pair of stablemates try to get their hands on the Tiny Terror, only to be met by wild swings of the ladder Paige has placed over her neck. After a blow to the head takes down LaRue, the diminutive blonde faces off against Kass, and even her weapon can not save Croft from the power of the 240-pound behemoth.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Over the next fifteen minutes, the fans in the warehouse are brought to their feet by the non-stop action, each wrestler given a chance to shine. Alone against three heels, Paige gains the solid support of the record crowd by upping her penchant for violence. Her top spot comes when she manages to use the ladder now set up squarely in the middle of the ring as a platform to choke out a standing LaRue with the Memphis Deathlock.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Before the slender brawler passes out, she is saved by the other member of B.W.A., Kass picking up the Tiny Terror and powerbombing the blonde to the floor with ease. Seeing LaRue down and Laura still out from a previously delivered Black Power, Kass decides it is time to end the match and starts climbing the ladder.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Just as the 240-pound wrestler reaches the last rung, Flame gets to her feet and finds enough strength to tip the ladder over, sending Kass tumbling towards the warehouse floor. A large thud greets the landing of the behemoth as Laura sets the ladder back upright.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Quickly scrambling up towards the contract hanging high above the ring, Flame is joined in her pursuit by LaRue, and the two wrestlers exchange punches in an extended battle at the top of the ladder.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> It is only when the leader of B.W.A. misses with a wild punch that Laura is able to rear back and strike with a Flame Fire Kick that sends LaRue crashing back to the mat, leaving the redhead alone to reach out and claim another shot at the Queen of the Ring title.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner via Contract Retrieval and Queen of the Ring #1 Contender: Laura Flame</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: C+ (69)</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Laura stands tall with the title match contract in hand and Claire by her side, the feed from the warehouse becomes filled with static then goes out for the viewers at home. After a few seconds of pitch black, Kate Avatar appears, still chained to the same wall as last month.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/1Hyvuq0.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Hell Cat’s features are more gaunt than before, while her hair appears to be greasy and unwashed. Blinking her eyes slowly as she opens them, Kate coughs before letting out a few meek words, “You’re going to jail for this, you know.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/d8b9d8M.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Entering the shot, Kathryn Beth Chase approaches her captive with a bemused look on her face, “Ah, but that is where you are wrong, Kate. You didn’t read my new contract very well, did you? It exempts me from legal liability for anything I do to another wrestler in </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>or</em></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> out of the ring. You’re a wrestler, aren’t you?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “So what’s the end game, then? Keep me here forever?!” using what little strength she has left, Hell Cat blurts out her exasperation while struggling unsuccessfully to free herself from her chains.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Moving to the table in front of Kate, Kathy grabs what appears to be an ornamental silver knife, “You know, when mother died, I was angry. But when I saw you mock her by </div><a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2164492&postcount=15" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"><a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2164492&postcount=15" rel="external nofollow">interrupting that ten-bell salute</a></div><a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2164492&postcount=15" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;">…something broke inside me.

I have sacrificed much to get to this point, ‘Hell’ Cat.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Chase turns around with knife in hand, Avatar’s eyes go wide, but she can not help sounding doubtful in her reply, “What have you sacrificed?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With a raise of her eyebrow, Kathy shrugs, “I needed a voice, and she needed a vessel.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The knife inching closer to Kate’s torso, the owner of DPW tries to make herself as small as possible against the basement wall, “Who is she?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Looking up from the blade in her hand as if coming out of a trance, Chase flashes a thin slash of a smile at her captive, “All in good time Kate. Right now, </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>she</em></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> wants her pound of flesh."</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The feed once again going dark, all that can be heard for those still watching are screams in background. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: B-</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Freebush:</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Are we back?!

You should be proud of winning such a tough match, and I can’t wait to face you at Fire Within if I win tonight.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Not knowing if York is being sarcastic or not, Flame curses at Sara from behind the phalanx of guards preventing her from getting at the Queen of the Ring.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “As for you Claire, I know you are going to give me everything you’ve got, but I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, and I will be walking out of that cage still Queen of the Ring!”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The audience explodes at York’s final declaration, the deafening pop setting the stage as the champion climbs into the ring.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: B</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Main Event: Claire Winters vs Sara Marie York © – Cage Classic Match for the DPW Queen of the Ring Title</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/1OjidHr.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/jOcNyCA.jpg</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/EmXKHHU.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The cage door now shut behind her, Sara locks up with Winters. It soon becomes apparent within the first few minutes that the Ice Woman is off her game. Perhaps it is the bright lights of the main event, or maybe it is being asked to perform in a longform match outside of her usual brawling comfort zone, but Claire is unable to deliver on the promise of her recent topnotch performances that have earned her this opportunity.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Thankfully for the audience watching, York is enough of a pro that she is able to make up for any deficiencies in her opponent. Quickly covering for Claire’s lack of initiative, Sara morphs into the aggressor, taking the fight to Winters by battering the Ice Woman against the walls of the cage.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With her feet now under her, Claire begins using her repertoire of submission moves to punish the champion, all while Laura shouts encouragement from behind the wall of security.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Even with the momentum, an Ice Breaker from Winters is not enough to keep Sara down. Throwing Claire around the ring with a series of suplexes, York continues to put pressure on her opponent, but she is unable to put the challenger away.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Knowing that her best chance at winning the match now lies in landing a desperation knock-out blow, Claire draws her opponent in by feigning weakness, then unloads with an uppercut. With Sara stumbling backwards, Winters whirls around with a spinning heel kick and immediately goes for the pin.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">…1</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> …2</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> …but York kicks out.</div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the audience catches their breath, the Ice Woman slaps the mat, knowing how close she just came to winning the title. When Claire moves to grab Sara by the hair, the Queen of the Ring lands a short jab to Winters’ ribs, knocking the wind out of the challenger.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Standing up, York grabs Claire and connects with the Energy Burst, but this time it is Winters that kicks out just before the count of three.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Remaining down on the mat, both women take the respite in their fight to recover their strength until Sara is the first to rise. Breathing heavily, York waits for her opponent to join her on her feet, and once Claire is upright, the two wrestlers charge at each other.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The crashing of bodies together fills the warehouse, each wrestler lashing out with strong blows. When Winters creates enough space between herself and the champion, she looks to connect with Frost Bite, but Sara ducks out of the way of the running knee strike and sends the Ice Woman into the cage wall instead.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Bouncing off the wire mesh, Winters turns around to find herself in York’s grasp once again, and after a second Energy Burst, Claire can not find the strength to kick out this time as the referee counts 1 – 2 – 3.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner via Pinfall and Still DPW Queen of the Ring: Sara Marie York</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: C+ (68)</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Now with the title belt in hand, Sara climbs to the top of the cage while the fans continue to cheer her victory.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Hoisting the gold above her head, York triggers a pop from the fans to close out the show as Fire N Ice fume on their way to the back.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: C</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Overall Show Rating: C (63; RIPW triggered Production Penalties are back!)</strong></div><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Quick Results</span></strong><p> </p><p> Ladies Reborn def.

It was definitely a surprise since I know I don't post as much as I used to, but I'm glad people are still enjoying.</p><p> </p><p> Moving on to the prediction contest, things are pretty close with two shows left to go, with the winner getting to make a hiring/storyline decision.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>1st Place - Dr_Avalanche: 8 points<p> 2nd Place - Sudo_Nym: 7 points</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Fire Within will have 15 points available, and All In All should have the same, if not more, so if you didn't predict Unwanted Gifts, there's still plenty of opportunity to catch up. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Review of Unwanted Gifts</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Overall, I was happy with how Unwanted Gifts turned out. It was similar to the last show in that it dragged for the first half, but picked up with the Fire N Ice promo and then peaked with York's part. Her promo pulled a much better rating than I had expected, which bodes well for the future. RIPW got knocked back down to Small size, so the production related penalties are back.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Ladies Reborn vs Maul Queens</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> Could be wrong, but Maul Queens (have I said how much I love this team name? It is awesome) does not seem like the team to topple the champions, not after their somewhat weak showing last time.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Haha, I'm glad you like the name. It's one of three that I came up with a while ago back when the creative juices were flowing. Hopefully, the other two teams debut somewhere down the road. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> As for the performance of Maul Queens, yeah it's one of those things where they don't have a lot of room to move up considering how over the competition is and how little they've done to deserve a push. Ursula is still solid, but Jaguar/Jungle Queen just hasn't brought it so far.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>Ladies seem to have more to come, so I think they hold the belts for now. We're also seeing the beginning of the problem I have with low-level promotions- the tag division tends to be thin enough that you're forced into watching the same teams fight over and over </em><img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Totally spot on about the problems with the tag division. I'm hoping to remedy that next season with some new teams, but with Fire N Ice, Generation NOW and B.W.A. acting more like stables than tag teams really, and the roster already being as big as it is, it was hard for me to justify adding any more teams for this season.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Emiko Miyoshi vs Kinuye Mushashibo</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> I'm very happy to hear Emiko is producing the goods.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah, the best part is she continues to learn with every match, sometimes in multiple areas, so I <em>feel</em> like there is a lot of room for her to grow. I am also still learning how to best book her (wild brawls are out) but she seems to be rising ever so slowly. Which of course meant an easy win here, with Kinuye probably moving back to the pre-show to teach the other young wrestlers that have yet to debut.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Hoshiko Tagawa vs Sally Anne Christianson</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> Even with your instant regret at the title change here, would you flip it right back? I'm torn. If it were me, I would be tempted to give Sally Anne a good showing without actually taking the title back. But under the stipulations... Lots of interference I guess?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>I'm surprised that Generation NOW didn't split up, but since they didn't, and this is a No-DQ match, I presume that Svelte gets involved to help Tagawa hold the title.</em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I'm beginning to realize that the possibility of interference is becoming a problem in almost every match, which is why I created the story-mechanism of Doc Messing stepping in to prevent that. That said, I couldn't let Sally lose without <em>some </em>sort of interference by Selina, so hopefully she still came out as strong. I was actually pretty happy with how the match turned out, as both wrestlers did good work, so maybe the decision to put the belt on Tagawa wasn't so horrible after all. <img alt=";)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> I was surprised by Tagawa's win, but losing a midcard title isn't always bad thing. Could allow Sally Ann to move up in the world if she has impressed so far. </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah, the main event scene is a little crowded right now, which prevents Sally from moving up right away (for example, she's not even in the Phoenix Rise Rumble), but it's one of those things where once I have her go on the journey I want her to, I don't see a reason why she can't be on the level of Sara, Kass, etc, given how good she's been.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Suzanne Brazzle vs Zoe Ammis</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> A heroic heel run from entrance #1?

I almost had Suzanne win this because I feel like Zoe's been booked too strong in this feud so far, but I see your point. Overall, I think I expected too much out of these two coming straight into DPW with no momentum and thinking they would tear the house down together. I'm excited what next season will hold for both women, I think I just need to find a way to wrap up this feud in a satisfying manner.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>LaRue X vs Laura Flame vs Paige Croft vs Sista Kass</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> Tag team partners work together to take out the babyfaces.

With the stipulation and Flame hitting her popularity cap, it would have made total sense. I guess I just wanted to go with a proven match-up (I know SMY vs Laura can deliver in the main event) and I feel like having Paige, Claire, and the full B.W.A. in the Rumble makes that match more unpredictable (and worth more to whoever actually does win it).</p><p> </p><p> I was also very happy that this ended up as the match of the night, because I figured Paige would pull down the overall rating, but everyone excelled. </p><p> </p><p> <strong>Claire Winters vs Sara Marie York</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> Come on.

Claire didn't do as badly as the write-up reflects (D performance vs the C-'s and C's she was putting in previously) but I'll take that to mean storyline-based slow build matches are just not her thing.

Sudo_Nym Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Card for Fire Within Generation NOW vs Working Girls (Sally Anne Christianson and Tamara McFly) Mostly because I like the idea of Christianson and McFly getting the win back after losing at the last show. Special Challenge Match for the DPW Deuces Wild Tag Team Titles Fresh Petals (Debbie Rose and Kate Lilly) vs Ladies Reborn © I don't think you should have an outsider team come in immediately and win the titles, and the LR could be a very good team, really. Phoenix Rise Rumble - Winner receives Queen of the Ring Title shot at All In All VI Ariel Breaks Claire Winters Electric Dreamer Emiko Miyoshi Gorgon Jungle Queen Kaede Sugiyama LaRue X Paige Croft Simony Sentinel Sista Kass Suzanne Brazzle - Entrant #1 Ursula Saez Velvet Suarez Zoe Ammis - Entrant #15 I'd love to see either Croft or Ammis win this thing, but Ammis coming in at 15 seems to be too obvious. For the DPW Queen of the Ring Title Laura Flame vs Sara Marie York © SMY is, like, really good or whatever. And Laura, like, thinks she can walk in and, like, take the title? As if! Bonus Questions How many titles will change hands during the show? 0 What will be the match of the night? The main event What will Ariel Breaks' new gimmick be? Gaggeth unto me with thine spoon. Who will get the most eliminations in the Rumble? Gorgon Who will last the longest in the Rumble? Simony Sentinel Who will be the final four wrestlers left in the Rumble (one point for each)?

You want a match at All In All Kathy, you’ve got it.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Grabbing her by the hair, Kathy pulls back on Avatar’s head and whispers into her ear as the drone zooms in, “Know that if you go back on your word, the pain that will be dealt to you will be a thousand times worse than what I put you through.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With a push from Chase, Kate falls into the grave. When the shot resets, Hell Cat finds to her amazement that her hands are no longer bound, and not only is the bandage around her right arm gone, but there is no wound there at all. Confused beyond her own comprehension, Avatar climbs out of the shallow grave, but looking around, finds no sign of Killer Kathy anywhere. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: B-</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match #1: Generation Now vs Working Girls (Sally Anne Christianson and Tamara McFly)</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/dBBDsXj.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/fzOUm1W.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/lKtiHxc.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/Sn1eoo3.jpg</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/a4qrJi3.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Jim Lou Freebush:</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Welcome ladies and gentlemen to DPW’s first show of 2021!

When Gorgon lifts the Violent Violet up for the Hydra Bomb, Sentinel counters with a spike DDT that leaves both competitors down on the mat.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> First to get back to her feet, Simony points at the top rope, and after slowly climbing up, flips in the air with the Sentinel Strike. Unfortunately for the Violent Violet, Gorgon has enough strength to roll out of the way, and the purple haired wrestler slams chest-first into the canvas.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Taking her time to move towards her fallen opponent, Gorgon taunts Simony’s fans in the audience while reaching down to grab the Violent Violet’s hair, only to receive a kick to the face from her opponent.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Staggering to her feet, Sentinel rolls out of the way of a wild charge from Gorgon, then bounces off of the ropes. Jumping up, Simony puts her leg on the back of her opponent’s neck and connects with UltraViolet. To cheers from the crowd, Sentinel covers Gorgon for the pin.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>*Elimination #12: Gorgon (by Simony Sentinel)*</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>[still in the Rumble: LaRue X, Sista Kass, and Simony Sentinel]</strong></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Rising once again to her feet, Simony faces the prospect of overcoming the rested B.W.A. on her own. Despite these long odds, Sentinel calls for LaRue and Kass to leave their places on the floor and join her in the ring.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The support from the audience grows as the Violent Violet battles B.W.A., but the fight with Gorgon has taken too much out of Sentinel. After a Black Power from LaRue sends her to the mat, Kass picks Simony up and slams her back down with Kill Switch, then mercifully goes for the cover.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>*Elimination #13: Simony Sentinel (by Sista Kass)*</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>[still in the Rumble: LaRue X and Sista Kass]</strong></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Once the crowd finishes booing the elimination of Simony, they begin to murmur at the realization that LaRue and Kass are the last two wrestlers in the Rumble. As if responding to this chatter, LaRue grabs her stablemate’s arm and lifts it up in celebration.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When no bell rings out, the slender brawler gets in the face of referee Gregory Chapman to demand why he hasn’t declared both herself and Kass the winners of the Rumble. After Chapman explains that unlike the match at Ménage a Tres, there must be a single winner to this contest, which makes LaRue furious. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the Rumble passes the 23-minute mark, LaRue paces back and forth, while Kass flexes her muscles. Finally, LaRue meets her stablemate face-to-face, and orders Kass to lay down.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Not understanding her partner’s command at first, the 240-pound behemoth hesitates until LaRue shouts her instruction a second time. Slowly going to her knees, Kass appears to be waging an internal battle until she lies flat the mat, allowing LaRue to place a finger on her chest for the three count.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner of the 2021 Phoenix Rise Rumble at 23:31: LaRue X</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: C (60)</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Order of Entry</span></strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">1.

After signaling that she is coming for the Queen of the Ring title, the Phoenix Rise Rumble winner turns to her scowling stablemate.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The slender brawler first throws up her right fist then barks an order at Kass, to which the behemoth is once again slow to respond. Another moment of hesitation passes before Kass comes to LaRue’s side, and grabbing her partner’s wrist, lifts her left arm up in victory to even more boos from the audience.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: C-</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While LaRue continues to jaw at the jeering fans all the way to the back, the camera shifts to a hallway somewhere in the warehouse, where Kate Lilly and Debbie Rose are still furious over the result of their tag match against the Ladies Reborn earlier.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/qZgquBv.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/L7IGDwE.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After kicking over a chair, Rose lets out a shout full of frustration, while Lilly states that she can not wait to get out of Las Vegas.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “Why leave when there’s so much work to be done?”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/wnxe88m.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Emerging from the shadows, a familiar figure reveals herself, her lips contorted into a disturbing mask of a smile.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “If you want to be champions, it seems like you two will need some help, or maybe just a new outlook on life.

As Laura and Claire approach the ring, a dozen security guards move in front of the tag team, and at Doc Messing’s instructions, make it clear that Winters can go no further.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “Really Messing? This is what it’s come to?” turning her attention to DPW’s color commentator, Flame points at his security force, “You hired a bunch of goons to do your dirty work because you’re too afraid to do the fighting yourself. You don’t know what it’s like to step into that ring and put it all on the line, but you think you can tell us how we should act.

That’s why I don’t need any security to protect me, so all of you can leave.” When Messing’s security force hesitates, Sara motions more forcefully for them to exit the warehouse, which the guards do after an approving signal from the color commentator.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “I am the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be, and tonight, I prove it!”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: B+</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Main Event: Laura Flame vs Sara Marie York © – For the DPW Queen of the Ring Title</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/52WMMKc.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/jOcNyCA.jpg</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/EmXKHHU.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The pop from Sara’s final statement barely has time to die down before Laura charges at the champion.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Messing:</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>I admire her conviction, but I don’t know if Sara’s decision is a wise one.

With their combined athleticism and ability to control the crowd, the two succeed, bringing the fans to their feet within the first minute after a particularly hard-hitting exchange.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Putting in another in what is quickly becoming a string of tremendous performances, Sara uses everything she has learned in her seventeen-year career to make Laura’s strikes seem like the most devastating blows the business has ever seen. Likewise, Flame is adept enough to know when to let York make her comeback to maximize the pop from the audience.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Ten minutes in, the battle is still an even affair, Laura having been unable to land the Flame Fire Kick she so desperately seeks. It is this dependence on her finisher that leaves the redhead open to a snap suplex from York, who then measures the challenger for the Energy Burst.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/1OjidHr.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Sara steps towards the rising Flame, a pair of brass knuckles thrown by Claire land at Laura’s feet, in clear view of the referee. Stopping York’s attack, Gregory Chapman picks up the brass knuckles and admonishes Laura, leaving the Queen of the Ring open to a sneak attack from behind by Winters.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/WAoTDXI.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> That is, until Paige Croft sprints out from backstage and pulls the Ice Woman down from the ring apron. To loud cheers, Paige wraps her legs around Winters’ throat and squeezes as hard as she can.

With Paige and Claire both down on the floor, the staffers still in the warehouse have an easy time guiding the pair of woozy wrestlers to the back, all while Sara waits in the ring for her opponent to return.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Once the challenger climbs back through the ropes, York signals for the redhead to attack, which Flame obliges, resulting in a long sequence of strikes, counter-strikes, and reversals. As the noise from the crowd reaches a fever pitch, Laura slips out of an attempted Energy Burst and looks to be measuring the champion for her finisher, but instead, Sara lashes out with a Flame Fire Kick of her own.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Caught by surprise, Laura crumbles to the mat, and York covers her for the 1 – 2 – 3.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner via Pinfall and Still DPW Queen of the Ring: Sara Marie York</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: B- (75; highest in DPW history to date)</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Continuing to celebrate her victory, Sara Marie York rallies the still buzzing crowd by thrusting the Queen of the Ring belt into the air. From ringside, Laura walks to the back alone, turning to watch the gold glitter in the lights before letting out a stream of curses.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With her attention fully on the cheering fans, York ignores the feel of a rush of air behind her until it is too late.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/Eo5Rf9H.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/m1TODO6.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> A forearm smash to the back of the head from LaRue X takes down Sara, and the slender brawler follows up with several stomps to the champion’s midsection.

MrWolf101 Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 <p>Prediction Contest Standings and Review of Fire Within</p><p> </p><p> The card for All In All VI will likely be up tomorrow as I am going to do a write-up that offers a little preview for every match given that it's DPW's biggest show of the year. In the meantime, I figured I would provide the update to the prediction contest standings. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>1st Place - Dr_Avalanche: 17 points (9 points from Fire Within)<p> 2nd Place - Sudo_Nym: 15 points (8 points from Fire Within)</p><p> 3rd Place - DarEatWorld: 9 points (9 points from Fire Within)</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I hope everyone enjoyed Fire Within. It's a long read, which is ironic given that technically there was only four matches on the card and a pedestrian 15 total segments.</p><p> </p><p> Overall, it would have most likely been rated the highest rated show in DPW history had it not been for the production penalties. The decision to main event Sara against Laura paid off since I could use the 'Steal the Show' road agent note with the Rumble being a long-form Story-telling match, and that suited Flame the best. The ratings for the Rumble also improved from the previous year, which I credit to having an overall stronger line-up from 1 to 15 in that match.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DarEatWorld" data-cite="DarEatWorld" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><em>Ok...

Back in BSC, it was a very tongue in cheek way of alluding to the fact that Tamara and Sally were at the top in the company in terms of technical skill and was their gimmick as a team (I guess think of the Revival as faces?). I don't see this being a long-term pairing, or Tamara working many more matches, so at least it won't be a problem for long. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Fresh Petals vs Ladies Reborn</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>I don't think you should have an outsider team come in immediately and win the titles, and the LR could be a very good team, really.</em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DarEatWorld" data-cite="DarEatWorld" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>Are Fresh Petals on the DPW roster full-time?

I guess you could call this an audition for Rose and Lilly to see where exactly to put them on the card going forward (they are signed to contracts now), while also giving Sandra and Charity a quality win against a team that will give them a good match.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Phoenix Rise Rumble</strong></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>I'd love to see either Croft or Ammis win this thing, but Ammis coming in at 15 seems to be too obvious.</em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DarEatWorld" data-cite="DarEatWorld" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>This one is the hardest for me to call.

There's a natural story there with her finally getting the title shot against Sara, but I feel like this way, a little more fuel gets added to Croft's fire and sets up a finale to her feud with Claire (who she has great chemistry with).</p><p> </p><p> In the end, going with LaRue gives All In All a main event that I think can deliver, with LaRue's style skillset being a richman's version of Laura Flame's (I actually haven't run All In All yet, so I don't know how it turns out <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />).</p><p> </p><p> I could have also gone with Kass (I was a little surprised no one picked her, but I think I've successfully put LaRue ahead of her on the totem pole in the last couple of shows) as she is the second most over person in the company, but I didn't want to risk a Sara/Gorgon bad chemsitry scenario with another large wrestler.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Laure Flame vs Sara Marie York</strong></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> For a moment in my mind I thought Claire still had a title match hanging, and that it would be so spicy if Laura had captured the title before Claire had gotten her shot.

Yeah, this closes the book a bit on the Sara/Fire N Ice feud of the past year, with Sara coming out decisively on top. I think the feud helped all involved (even with Laura at what looks to be her popularity cap), with Claire showing she can hang with a true main eventer and York getting wins that prove herself in front of the DPW crowd.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Avalanche Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 <p>Oh that rumble finish, the heel heat. Had I been there, I would have been so mad. Hell, I know it's not real, I'm still mad. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/mad.png.69834f23b9a8bf290d98375f56f1c794.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> If Foxxy in your save is anything like Foxxy in mine, she should absolutely be able to put on a very good match with someone as good as Sara. I have no doubt about that. And if she's had a title shot in the past, it's been quite a while I think. Given how much space Foxxy and Kass takes in DPW currently, it only makes sense.</p><p> </p><p> The Kathy/Kate storyline has been interesting, and a good way to keep Kate out of the main event picture for a while. I'm not sure how to interpret parts of it - is Kate hallucinating, or does Kathy have magical powers? It's interesting. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWolf101 Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 <p>Card for All In All VI</p><p> </p><p> <strong>From PureJoshi.com:</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">As we continue to revel in the glory that was Joanne Rodriquez versus Brooke Tyler main eventing USPW's Red, White and Blue! and putting on a match for the ages, I would be remiss if I didn't add some hype for what I consider a very interesting event taking place next month in Las Vegas.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Over the past year, Dark Phoenix Wrestling has seen attendance at their shows nearly double while adding such big names as Sara Marie York, Suzanne Brazzle, and Zoe Ammis to the roster.

With no tables involved this time, the Ladies Reborn will have to find a way to defeat LaRue X and Sista Kass without relying on luck. Of course, with LaRue in the main event, there’s no telling how committed she will be in winning the tag titles back from Charity and Sandra.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Emiko Miyoshi vs Kaede Sugiyama – Submission Match</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/7A68NMO.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/M1ak0gt.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Almost immediately after Emiko Miyoshi eliminated Kaede Sugiyama from the Phoenix Rise Rumble, Kaede took to social media to demand another match against the young cruiserweight on her terms. Surprisingly and somewhat to her credit, Emiko accepted the challenge, though one has to wonder if her bravery is really foolhardiness, given the seemingly huge advantage the technically-proficient Sugiyama will have over Miyoshi when it comes to making an opponent tap out.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Maul Queens w/ Seduction vs Velvet Dream – Ladder Match for Seduction’s Contract</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/x5SF8WV.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/NXWlqwp.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/BRjcmA0.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/YNQZbsf.jpg</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/x2Dq4f8.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In what should culminate a feud that has simmered ever since Bitter Harvest, Electric Dreamer and Velvet Suarez will take on the Maul Queens, with Seduction’s contract at stake. While it is unclear if the ladder stipulation will favor the high-flying Velvet Dream, or the hard-hitting Ursula Saez and Jungle Queen, what is known is that it is highly unlikely that Seduction will stay out of the fray, given that her future with DPW is at stake.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Suzanne Brazzle vs Zoe Ammis – Last Woman Standing Match</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/UJ7Az79.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/yVgCLHc.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> One more time, for the sweet souvenir. Having feuded exclusively with each other ever since debuting with DPW at the Girl Power Tournament back in May 2020, Suzanne Brazzle and Zoe Ammis will hopefully add some finality to their rivalry with this Last Woman Standing match.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Considering these two women arrived in DPW with much fanfare, overall this program feels like a bit of a letdown. With how low on the card this contest is, we can only assume DPW management agrees with that assessment. Fans can only hope that given a blank check to cause whatever harm they want to each other that Zoe and Suzanne will finally deliver on the promise a match between the two always holds.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Claire Winters vs Paige Croft – Shoot Fight</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/1OjidHr.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/WAoTDXI.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With the exception of the Buried Alive match, it is hard to imagine that there will be a more brutal, intense battle on this show. Looking to settle their score once and for all, both wrestlers requested that this final encounter take place within a cage, the MMA-inclined Ice Woman pushing for a structure more befitting a UFC event. Once inside the wire mesh structure, Paige and Claire will likely look to tear each other apart until one of them can take no more.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Laura Flame vs ??? – Open Challenge</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/52WMMKc.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><img alt="1HNF5SN.png?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1HNF5SN.png?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> At this point, the only information known about this match is that Laure Flame will be involved.

Perhaps it is because before Hoshiko Tagawa won the belt, Generation NOW had been on a long losing streak ever since overcoming Simony Sentinel and Maria Guest at All In All V. Or maybe it is because Sally Anne Christianson is so far above the other competitors in this bout.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Still, given that the first fall wins, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Selina Svelte or Tamara McFly (looking no worse for wear from her ‘retirement’) sneak out a victory, making this a dark horse for match of the night.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Gorgon vs Simony Sentinel - Winner becomes #1 Contender to DPW Queen of the Ring Title</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/dYTS9u8.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/NcYZPXH.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Not that Gorgon nor Simony needed any further motivation when they finally step into the ring for this one-on-one match, but the clause added by Kate Avatar giving the winner of the bout a Queen of the Ring title shot at Red Alert should bring the fury on display to a full boil.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> For the 40-year-old Gorgon, this match represents perhaps one last chance to reclaim DPW’s top title. For the Violent Violet, how she values winning this is much murkier, though Sentinel has not backed down from a fight with the former champion so far.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Kate Avatar vs Kathryn Beth Chase – Buried Alive Match</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/1Hyvuq0.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/d8b9d8M.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After watching the latest video from the former Killer Kathy McMahon, Doc Messing declared he would in no way allow this match to take place. That was, of course, before Kate Avatar returned to the DPW warehouse and made the bout official. Hell Cat has made many enemies during her fifteen years in the business, but none appear to be out for blood as much as the long-lost ‘daughter’ of Mary Beth Chase.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The level of violence featured in this match should be greater than anything DPW fans have ever seen, even topping the infamous Thunder Dome match between Kate and Emma Bitch that headlined All In All III. There will be no winners here, only the wrestler that survives.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>LaRue X vs Sara Marie York © – For the DPW Queen of the Ring Title</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/Eo5Rf9H.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/jOcNyCA.jpg</span><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/EmXKHHU.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The main event of the night should see a battle that might just end up being the greatest match in DPW history. With both wrestlers involved being adept at handling a crowd, calling a match, and working whatever style is called for, there is little doubt the fans will be on their feet however long this contest lasts.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The real questions about this bout involve how much LaRue X will have left in the tank after opening the show, and what exactly Sista Kass’ role will be in the proceedings. After Sara Marie York made it clear she does not want any security to stop potential interference in her matches, the 240-pound member of B.W.A. would seemingly have free reign to be the deciding factor should the right opportunity present itself. But maybe, just maybe, LaRue will want to prove that she can win the Queen of the Ring title all on her own…oh who am I kidding?</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Card for All In All VI</span></strong><p> </p><p> <strong>For the Deuces Wild Tag Team Titles</strong></p><p> B.W.A. vs Ladies Reborn ©</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Submission Match</strong></p><p> Emiko Miyoshi vs Kaede Sugiyama</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Ladder Match for Seduction’s Contract</strong></p><p> Maul Queens vs Velvet Dream</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Last Woman Standing Match</strong></p><p> Suzanne Brazzle vs Zoe Ammis</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Shoot Fight</strong></p><p> Claire Winters vs Paige Croft</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Open Challenge</strong></p><p> Laura Flame vs ???</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Four-way Match for the DPW Athena Warrior Title</strong></p><p> Hoshiko Tagawa © vs Sally Anne Christianson vs Selina Svelte vs Tamara McFly</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Winner becomes #1 Contender for the DPW Queen of the Ring Title</strong></p><p> Gorgon vs Simony Sentinel</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Buried Alive Match</strong></p><p> Kate Avatar vs Kathryn Beth Chase (aka Killer Kathy McMahon)</p><p> </p><p> <strong>For the DPW Queen of the Ring Title</strong></p><p> LaRue X vs Sara Marie York ©</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Bonus Questions</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> How many titles will change hands during the show?</p><p> What will be the match of the night?</p><p> Who will answer Laura Flame’s open challenge?</p><p> Who will leave All In All VI as Queen of the Ring?</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Shameless Survey Questions (Worth One Point Each)</span></strong> <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> What match are you most looking forward to at All In All VI?</p><p> Who is your favorite member of the DPW roster?</p><p> What wrestler not currently in DPW would you like to the company sign?</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tiebreaker (Price is Right Rules)</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> What will be the attendance for the show?</p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <strong>--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>OOC:</strong> <em>The plan right now is to have All In All VI posted in three weeks.

MrWolf101 Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 <p>A Brief History of All In/All In All</p><p> </p><p> <strong>From the desk of David Jacobs:</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/OXribNE.jpg</span><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In I – The Beginning</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">When the name ‘All In’ was chosen as the moniker for BSC’s first special event, it was not just a clever play on a common gambling term. This really was Kate Avatar putting the entire company on the line in an attempt to grow out of the burlesque show BSC had been prior to her arrival.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The main event, an Iron Woman match between Alicia Strong and Joanne Rodriquez, was the epitome of this effort at image rehabilitation. As usual, Kate misjudged how the BSC audience would react to a pure-wrestling showcase sans T&A, not to mention that the 60-minute match would have overstayed it’s welcome no matter who was wrestling in it. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With a dud of a main event, the show could still be considered a success as BSC drew enough fans to live to see another day. The match of the night was actually Thea Davis and Steph Blake as the British Bombshells retaining the Girl Power tag team titles against Fresh Petals. Elsewhere on the card, Kate surprisingly put over a newly unmasked Talia Quinzel, while Good Lookin’ Bunny defeated the Neptune Twins.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In II – Welcome to the New BSC</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">If All In I disappointed due to its overwrought main event, the second incarnation of the annual event lived up to the hype. A solid card from top to bottom, the show was headlined by Jaime Quine versus Talia Quinzel in a Cage match for the Queen of the Ring title. This match fed off the year-long decay of the Angels of Mercy, and would see Talia finally turn face by stopping a post-match attack from group leader Joanne Rodriguez on the exiled Quine.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> That match, of course, was not the only one people remember. In the best match in BSC to that point, J-Ro defeated an on-loan Sara Marie York, while Paige Croft stamped her claim on future stardom even in a losing effort against Gorgon. Of course, the biggest show of the year couldn’t go on without Kate Avatar using the opportunity to put herself over a rising Deborah Young.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In III – Angels of Mercy Assemble!</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">It is a shame that All In III is almost exclusively remembered for a single moment, as there ended up being several good matches on the card. Of course, that moment, when Joanne Rodriquez and Jaime Quine rescued Talia Quinzel from a post-main event attack by Alicia Strong’s Blonde Ambition faction, reformed the Angels of Mercy as a face stable and cemented BSC’s place as the top Women’s Wrestling company in the world.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As for those aforementioned matches, the main event between Alicia Strong and Talia Quinzel delivered beyond expectations, while Jaime Quine and a freshly unretired Joanne Rodriguez added another quality chapter to their lifelong rivalry. But it was Paige Croft who once again stole the show, this time in a cage mage against Zoe Ammis. As for Kate, she still managed to grab headlines in defeat, losing her Hair vs Hair match against Thea Davis so that YouTube clips of her being shaved bald would go viral.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In IV – The New Generation</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">Due to what we know was severe monetary issues, BSC had spent the year in between All In III and All In IV in a concerted effort building new stars. Finally ascending to the top of the company, Paige Croft defeated Nadia Snow in the main event to claim the Queen of the Ring belt for the first time.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Earlier in the night, the young tag team of Maria Guest and Simony Sentinel retained their Girl Power titles over the veteran Devil’s Dragon, while Brooke Tyler made her All In debut, albeit in a loss to Kate Avatar (go figure). Elsewhere, Jaime Quine defeated Fuyuko Higa in a classic and Amber Allen overcame Joanne Rodriguez, who would leave the company two weeks later over a pay dispute.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> J-Ro’s departure ended up being the canary in the coal mine, as BSC would collapse four months later under the weight of their mob money scandal. Kate Avatar would forever be tainted, but a little shame has never been enough to stop her.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In All I – The Rebirth</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">While All In IV was attended by over 8,000 fans, All In All I saw barely more than two dozen show up in a rundown bar for Kate Avatar’s vanity project. Befitting such a small crowd, the show had only three matches on its card, headlined by Kate (shock!) versus the plucky Simony Sentinel. Better than it had all rights to be, this ‘event’ at least showed that with free rein to do whatever she desired, Avatar would give the fans what she thought they wanted (which of course is her). </div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In All II – Bonfire of the Ego</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">If you’re a booker that needs your ego satisfied, what do you do? Why pin the biggest star in Women’s Wrestling in the middle of the ring in front of less than 100 people, of course.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Yes, despite not really being able to afford Joanne Rodriguez’s appearance fee, All In All II saw Kate Avatar bring in the eponymous J-Ro for a one off match in the main event. Hell Cat went over cleaner than clean, turning face in the process, while Rodriguez went on to become a millionaire with USPW, so I guess who really won then?</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As with All In All I, this card featured only three matches, with Simony Sentinel retaining the Queen of the Ring title over Deborah Young and Velvet Revolución defeating Fire N Ice for the newly minted Deuces Wild tag team titles. But all anyone was talking about after the show was Hell Cat, just like she wanted.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In All III – Beyond Thunder Dome</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">There is one thing I will always give Kate credit for; she is willing to suffer for her art. Even with a surprisingly entertaining flesh-fest between Glorious Gloria and Polly Amorous on the undercard, Avatar managed once again to steal the thunder (pun intended!) of the rest of the roster by letting Emma Bitch throw her more than twenty feet to the ground through a stack of flaming tables.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Behind the scenes, Emma Bitch and Amber Allen had already signed contracts to join NOTBPW, meaning that at least Kate could justify putting the spotlight all on herself in the subsequent retelling of this event, even if it meant ignoring some fine performances from Laura Flame and Simony Sentinel.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In All IV – Slay the Dragon</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">When Killer Kass arrived in DPW right after All In All III, no one knew quite what to make of the 240-pound enigma. Here was a wrestler that had been given every opportunity to establish herself as </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>the</em></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Monster Heel of USPW Women’s division, and yet had always seemed to fall short when it came to delivering in the ring or on the mic. Now, we may never know what happened backstage between Kass, Alicia Strong, and Robbie Sanchez, but whatever it was, Kass put it all together in Kate Avatar’s tiny Las Vegas promotion.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Tearing through the roster on her way to winning the Queen of the Ring title, Kass fulfilled the potential she had always been marked for, but of course, it was all just so Kate could beat her at this show. Overcoming the odds as always, Hell Cat’s ego was willing to sacrifice her biggest act to put herself over. The more things change, the more things stay the same.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In All V – Bad Melody</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">Main eventing DPW’s biggest show on the calendar for the fifth year in a row, Kate went back to the playbook from All In All II and brought in another legend of Women’s wrestling to put her over. The tactic worked, drawing DPW’s first sell-out crowd to Piper Casino. Of course, Melody’s sandbagging throughout the entire match didn’t exactly earn Avatar the Twitter buzz she would have liked for such a ‘historic’ match, but nonetheless, Hell Cat got to put another notch in her belt.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Overall, All In All V was a letdown from the previous year, with no other match really delivering despite the gimmicky ‘Loser Leaves Town’ stipulation given the entire card. I would like to say Kate has lost her touch, but she would have had to have it in the first place for that to be true.</div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="font-size:18px;">All In All VI – The End of the Beginning</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;">Whatever All In All VI holds, we can be sure that in the end, Kate Avatar will put herself front and center. While not main eventing All In All for the first time in that shows history, Kate is still in the most talked about match on the card, given the bizarre nature of her storyline with Killer Kathy McMahon (or is it Kathryn Beth Chase?) and the main event itself being a title match between Sara Marie York and Foxxy LaRue (drop the X) that was cobbled together at the last second with little backstory.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The rest of the show appears promising, and given her history in past All In’s, I would not be surprised if Paige Croft delivered another classic performance. Or maybe Kass will finally get the recognition she deserves for her consistent showings. Or could it be that someone else will emerge to knock Kate from the headlines…don’t make me laugh. </div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">All In/All In All Fast Facts</span></strong><p> </p><p> <strong>Number of Times Main Eventing:</strong></p><p> Kate Avatar: 5</p><p> Alicia Strong: 2</p><p> Talia Quinzel: 2</p><p> Joanne Rodriguez: 2</p><p> Jaime Quine: 1</p><p> Paige Croft: 1</p><p> Nadia Snow: 1</p><p> Simony Sentinel: 1</p><p> Emma Bitch: 1</p><p> Kass: 1</p><p> Melody: 1</p><p> Foxxy LaRue: 1</p><p> Sara Marie York: 1</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Greatest Match:</strong> Jaime Quine vs Fuyuko Higa - All In IV (B; 83)</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Highest Attendance:</strong> 8,410 - All In IV</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Kate Avatar’s Record:</strong> 6 - 3</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <strong>OOC:</strong></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>First of all, good show.

Still, Sandra and Charity do not underestimate the dangerous threat the 240-pound behemoth always poses, showing no mercy by constantly double-teaming their opponent.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While Kass does her best to flex her power, the combined speed of the champions proves too much to overcome in a straight up fight, so the member of B.W.A. goes to the outside. Turning the contest into a brawl, Kass uses the ring post and apron as leverage, tossing first Dark and then Shine into these obstacles.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Kass continues to battle against these long odds, the sentiment of the audience starts to shift, with some in the crowd actually starting to cheer for the challenger as she gains momentum against the Ladies Reborn.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With the action now back in the ring, Kass hits Sandra with a Kill Switch, but a downed Charity is able to recover just in time to break up the ensuing cover.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Kass turns her rage on the athletic blonde, Dark does her best to stay out of the reach of the behemoth in order to give Shine enough to time to get back on her feet.

As Kaede continues to batter Emiko, Sugiyama’s offense becomes more and more brutal, and so Miyoshi falls back on the one advantage she has: speed.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Picking up the pace, the cruiserweight turns the tables, putting Kaede back on her heels. Now with the advantage, Emiko hits a Miyoshi Cradle even though it can’t end the match, but when she moves to get off of Sugiyama, the veteran grabs her by the arm instead.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Refusing to let go, Kaede tries to lock in an armbar on her rival.

Dazed from the repeated blows, Sugiyama staggers to her feet, and Miyoshi responds by jumping on the veteran’s back.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Wrapping her arms around her rival’s neck and putting the crook of her elbow directly on Kaede’s throat, Miyoshi pulls Sugiyama to the mat with the rear naked choke.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Caught by surprise by this sudden move, Kaede’s eyes bulge as she struggles to free herself, but with no way out, the veteran taps to end the match.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winners via Submission: Emiko Miyoshi</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: D</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “I thought I might find you here.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/jOcNyCA.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With the camera behind her, Sara Marie York traverses the roof of Piper Casino in what appears to be footage from earlier in the day.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Taking a few more steps, York looks out at the view of the Las Vegas Strip and the Stratosphere in the distance, then down at the woman sitting on the roof’s ledge.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “You don’t have to do this, you know.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/1Hyvuq0.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After a shake of her head, Kate Avatar tilts her eyes up to glance at the Queen of the Ring, “…yes I do.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Sitting down next to the owner of DPW, Sara puts her hand on Hell Cat’s shoulder, “Come on Kate, do you think you’re in any shape…”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Holding up a single finger, Avatar stops her friend mid-sentence, “It doesn’t matter. You…you don’t know what I’ve been through these past three months. Hell, I don’t even know what I went through. I feel like I’m falling apart. I don’t know what’s real and what’s not.

No amount of screaming from Seduction stops the luchadoras from building up a head of steam, and Dreamer earns herself several new fans by putting her body on the line in a succession of risky maneuvers.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After Dreamer takes out both the Jungle Queen and Ursula on the floor with a moonsault from the top rope, Velvet finds herself alone in the ring, so she starts climbing up the ladder towards the contract hanging from the rafters.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> From the sprawl of bodies outside the ring, Saez is the first to recover, and races through the ropes to stop her former tag team partner.

Not willing to risk Suarez knocking Ursula from her perch, Seduction enters the ring and tips the ladder over, sending Velvet and Saez crashing to the floor.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With her work done, a satisfied Seduction turns around only to find herself face-to-face with Electric Dreamer.

Even though it looks like her arm might pop out of place at any second, the Tiny Terror finds a way to reach up with her free hand and gouge Claire in the left eye, out of view of the referee.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Forced to release her rival, Winters stands up and stumbles backwards while she tries to refocus her vision, giving Paige all the opening she needs.

When Laura finally does move in with an attack, Breaks dodges out of the way with ease, then proceeds to wag her tongue at the off-balance redhead.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Ariel’s constant evasiveness drawing more and more of Laura’s ire, the bout never really moves out of first gear, but with four matches still left on the card, the break in the action is a welcome respite for the fans in attendance.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the contest unfolds, both Breaks and Flame play their parts perfectly, Laura the enraged heel while Ariel excels at getting the crowd to cheer every one of her over-acted moves.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Laura finally connects with a Flame Fire Kick, she appears to have the match won, but to the shock of everyone in the warehouse, Ariel kicks out right before the count of three.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Slapping the mat in frustration, Flame looks at the still dazed Winters at ringside as if to say ‘What do I have to do to win this?’</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This brief moment of doubt is replaced by Laura turning her anger on the still-downed Breaks, stomping away on the sequined-adorned wrestler.

Turning their attention to the veteran McFly, Generation NOW use a double team to back Tamara into a corner, but Sally quickly recovers to come to the rescue of her friend.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Taking Tagawa and Svelte out with consecutive suplexes, Christianson stands tall with McFly as their opponents regroup on the outside.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Hoshiko and Selina charge back into the ring, Sally meets the champion with a punch while Tamara resumes her battle with the blonde technician.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Falling back on their teamwork, Christianson and McFly come out on top in this exchange by tossing the two members of Generation NOW into one another. Sally quickly pounces on Hoshiko with Niagara Fall, looking to make the Athena Warrior submit to her patented hold.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Standing guard, Tamara watches as Svelte gets back to her feet, but when Selina tries to dive past her to free Tagawa, McFly reacts by putting the blonde technician in a crossface of her own.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Sally wrenching back on her neck, it appears Hoshiko will tap, but her partner beats her to it, Svelte slapping the mat furiously in full view of the referee.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner via Submission and New DPW Athena Warrior: Tamara McFly</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: C-</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the bell sounds out, no one is more shocked that she is being awarded the Athena Warrior title than Tamara.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the preceding moments replay in her mind, the realization of what has just occurred dawns on the face of McFly, while a frustrated Sally Anne Christianson stands opposite her in the ring.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Generation NOW having already retreated quietly backstage, Sally puts her hands on her hips and shakes her head. When Tamara walks over to her friend and offers her the belt, Christianson hesitates then waves off this gesture. Instead, Sally shakes McFly’s hand, then lifts up the arm of the veteran so that they can celebrate Tamara’s victory together.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: D-</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Her back turned towards the camera, the video screen cuts to Simony Sentinel somewhere backstage.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/NcYZPXH.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “I’ve been fighting all my life; people that said I’d never make it, people that told me I was too small and too weak. I’ve climbed to the top of the mountain, and I’ve been knocked down to the lowest valley. Sometimes I get tired. Sometimes I feel like giving up. But then someone like Gorgon reminds me why I do this.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Pivoting, the Violent Violet spins around to address the audience, her eyes burning with passion as she speaks, “I fight for those that can’t. I fight for those that have already given up. I fight so people like Gorgon can’t just bully everyone else. I won’t get tired, I won’t give up. If you still doubt me, then you don’t know Simony.”</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: D+</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> <div style="border: solid 5px #000000;"></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match #8: Gorgon vs Simony Sentinel – Winner becomes #1 Contender to the DPW Queen of the Ring Title</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/dYTS9u8.jpg</span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>VS</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><span>http://i.imgur.com/NcYZPXH.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> True to her word, Simony is the aggressor from the outset, catching Gorgon off guard with the tenacity of her offense. Never one to let a fight pass her by, Gorgon regains her footing then turns the tide with her power.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Freebush:</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>My goodness, with those punches, you’d think Gorgon was trying to knock Sentinel’s head right off her shoulders.</em></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Messing:</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>Simony would be smart to avoid Gorgon’s offense at all costs, but it seems that she is intent on living up to her reputation as the Violent Violet.</em></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After showing she is willing to match her opponent blow for blow, Simony takes to the air, attempting to cut Gorgon down to size with repeated dropkicks.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This strategy works until the veteran catches Sentinel in the middle of one of her jumps, slamming the purple haired wrestler to the mat with extreme ferocity.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Slowing down the pace by stomping on Simony then putting her in a succession of submission holds, Gorgon draws the ire of the now hot crowd by taunting the fan favorite while she has her in the camel clutch.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Despite the constant pulling on her limbs, Sentinel refuses to tap out, much to the consternation of Gorgon. With Simony down on the mat, Gorgon resorts to stepping directly on the back of her opponent, causing the Violent Violet to cry out in pain for the first time in the match.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The fans rallying behind her due to her foe’s actions, Sentinel fights through her anguish to get back on to her feet. When Gorgon moves in for a punch, Simony begins mounting her comeback with a kick to the veteran’s ribs, then follows up with an enziguri. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the battle passes the twenty-minute mark, the Violent Violet takes advantage of her downed opponent by climbing to the top rope and signaling for the Sentinel Strike. When Simony leaps, however, her aim is slightly off, and she lands on Gorgon’s upper body instead of her midsection. In the process, Sentinel’s knee drives directly into the veteran’s temple.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Simony goes for the pin, Gorgon quickly throws her off before the referee can even hit the mat for the first time. Rolling to the outside, the veteran stumbles around and then vomits at the foot of the fans in the front row while Sentinel exchanges a look of confusion with Gregory Chapman.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After Gorgon pukes for the second time on the warehouse floor, the referee throws up the dreaded ‘X’ sign out of view of the camera, while Simony slides under the ropes. Attempting to guide her wobbly opponent back into the ring, Sentinel shrugs off a hard shove to push Gorgon into the ring apron, and it takes all of the veteran’s wherewithal to pull herself up onto the canvas.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Gorgon looking like she is about to vomit yet again, Simony bounces off the ropes and connects with a very light UltraViolet, then rolls up her foe for the pin.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner via Pinfall and Queen of the Ring #1 Contender: Simony Sentinel</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: C-</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Trying to maintain her composure, Simony quickly makes her way to the back in an effort not to let the crowd see through her veneer of celebration. Gorgon, barely able to stand on her own, refuses any assistance from medical personnel and beats a windy path up the ramp, stopping one last time at the top to vomit again.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Once all the scattered barf in the room has been cleaned up by a swarm of staffers, </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="150" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/MFqBTSvBPAU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="White Zombie More Human Than Human"></iframe></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> plays to massive pop.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/1Hyvuq0.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Returning to the warehouse for the first time since Ashes in the Fall, Kate Avatar lets the roar of the crowd wash over her. Moving to the side of the stage, Hell Cat looks down at the glass tomb set up for the Buried Alive match, a cameraman peering over her shoulder to get a shot of Kate’s reflection in the mirrored bottom of the box.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When Avatar ends her contemplation over the improvised grave, she begins her journey towards the ring, only to be knocked down from behind by Laura Flame and Claire Winters.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/52WMMKc.jpg</span><span>http://i.imgur.com/1OjidHr.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Freebush:</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>What on Earth?!

Clearly still angry from their losses earlier in the evening, Flame and Winters take out their combined rage on Avatar, shouting that this is what happens when they don’t get the respect they deserve.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Tossing Hell Cat into the ring, Laura hits the owner of DPW with a Flame Fire Kick, followed by a spinning heel kick from Claire. Propping Kate up in a corner, Winters continues the assault by landing Frost Bite to her victim’s head, then joins Flame in stomping away on the downed Hell Cat.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Unrelenting in their attack for another three minutes, Laura and Claire finally tire of destroying Kate, leaving Avatar in a heap as the tag team head for the exit to another round of boos.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: C</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Kate struggling to get to her feet in the ring, the opening guitar riff of </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/LWz0JC7afNQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon (Official Music Video)"></iframe></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> plays in the warehouse.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="</div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LWz0JC7afNQ" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LWz0JC7afNQ" rel="external nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/embed/LWz0JC7afNQ"</a></div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LWz0JC7afNQ" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"> frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With a long train of black lace trailing behind her, Kathryn Beth Chase walks out from the back and stares at the wounded Hell Cat from the top of the stage.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/d8b9d8M.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/LWz0JC7afNQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon (Official Music Video)"></iframe></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> continues to play, it is soon combined with Chase’s usual entrance music, </div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6FsTIq6ls" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6FsTIq6ls" rel="external nofollow"><em>Psycho Killer</em></a></div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6FsTIq6ls" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;">, the lyrics of the two songs alternating as Kathy starts her journey down the ramp. </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div><div class="ipsEmbeddedVideo"><div><iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/LWz0JC7afNQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" title="Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon (Official Music Video)"></iframe></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6FsTIq6ls" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6FsTIq6ls" rel="external nofollow"><em>Run run run, run run run awaaaaaaaayyyyyy!</em></a></div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX6FsTIq6ls" rel="external nofollow"></a></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As Kathy walks forward, the dark fabric attached to a choker around her neck envelops everything in her wake.

It is only after Chase removes the choker from around her neck that she attacks Hell Cat, laying into the owner of DPW with especially brutal strikes.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Doing her best to defend herself, Avatar covers up, absorbing the blows from her foe, all while looking for an opening. This opportunity to counterattack fails to materialize in the opening minutes, as despite the fury behind her punches, Chase is cold and calculating in her offense.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> It is only when the battle spills to the outside that Hell Cat is able to get her first shot in, ducking out of the way of a haymaker from Kathy to land a punch to the ribs of her own. Still wounded from the pre-match attack by Fire N Ice, Kate is slow to follow up, allowing Chase to regain the momentum. This includes a piledriver onto the ramp that appears to have knocked Avatar out for good, but when Kathy drags her foe towards the glass tomb, Hell Cat gets her second wind.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Fighting as if her life depended on it, Kate bludgeons her opponent back towards the ring, turning the tide of this wild brawl. When the former Miss McMahon attempts a desperation Glittering Jawbreaker, Hell Cat swats the finisher aside and connects with the Dark Phoenix Driver directly onto the warehouse floor.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Knowing that Kathy will not stay down for long, Kate begins extracting weapon after weapon from under the ring, including several tables and a gas can, until she finally retrieves a razor-wire covered baseball bat. Measuring Chase as she stands up, Avatar swings, but her opponent kicks the weapon right back into her face.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Kate down, Kathy grabs the bat and goes to town on her rival, busting open Hell Cat in the process. Touching Avatar’s forehead, Chase lets Kate’s blood coat her hand then smears the red liquid over her own face.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> While the crowd is entertained and rooting as loud as ever for Hell Cat, the extreme violence of the contest is too much for some to bear, as Kathy continues her assault on Kate up the ramp, the latter barely able to see through her thick crimson mask.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the pair approaches the glass box, Chase uses the presence of the bulldozer to her advantage, slamming her dazed opponent into the vehicle over and over again. Scratching and clawing at Kathy’s face, Kate does her best to counter, but a Glittering Jawbreaker lays the owner of DPW out at the foot of the mock grave.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Instead of making an attempt to finish match, Kathy goes back to the ring, returning to her downed opponent carrying a table and the gas can. After setting the table up, Chase douses the wood in the flammable liquid and sets it aflame with a lighter she pulls from her trunks.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Dragging Kate up to the top of the bulldozer, Kathy surveys the fans as they wait with bated breath for her next move, then looks down sinisterly at the flaming table below. </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Freebush:</strong></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>This…this can’t happen!

Holy shit!” the two wrestlers twitch on the warehouse floor, having rolled away from the pile of smoldering timber. Kathy is the first to get back to her feet, and instead of going after opponent, she once again returns to ringside.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Coming back with the silver ornamental knife in hand, Chase locks eyes with Kate, the latter having just struggled to get back to her knees. Lacking the energy to rise, Avatar watches defenselessly through the river of blood flowing into her eyes as Kathy moves in for the kill.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When her rival reaches her, there is a moment of pause and reflection shared between the two women before Kathy plunges the knife into Hell Cat’s stomach. As the blade hits Kate’s flesh, the lights in the warehouse flicker while the sound of low rolling thunder can be heard off in the distance.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With Avatar clutching her wound, Chase makes easy work of dumping her opponent into the glass tomb, then hits a button on the bulldozer to bury Kate under an avalanche of dirt.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner via Burial: Kathryn Beth Chase</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: C+ (67)</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With the glass box full of soil, several staffers scramble up the stage to dig Hell Cat out of her grave while Chase moves quietly to the side.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Using only their hands, the staffers try to scoop the dirt out as fast as they can, but not before Kathy returns with the can of gas.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Freebush:</strong></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>What is she doing?!

Using the weapon to smash the side of the glass box, Messing moves out of the way as the dirt flows out onto the warehouse floor. The staffers along with Messing manically sift through the smoking pile, but in the soil and the now empty grave, no sign of Kate Avatar can be found.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: C-</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After the mess from the Buried Alive match is cleaned up, the sound of trumpets blare from the stage. Walking past the two trumpeters dressed in gold livery, a procession of men wearing nothing but loin clothes trudge out from backstage carrying a platform, on top of which sits LaRue X.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/Eo5Rf9H.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Her eyes done up in the style of Cleopatra, LaRue wears a pharaoh’s headdress and holds her head up high despite the boos from the audience that drown out the playing of </div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R5olNEjGG4" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R5olNEjGG4" rel="external nofollow"><em>Formation</em></a></div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7R5olNEjGG4" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;">.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/m1TODO6.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Following along parallel to this scene is Sista Kass, who stares straight ahead as the group moves towards the ring.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Once at the base of the ramp, LaRue’s servants place the platform down on the floor, then hoist the slender brawler up so that she can easily climb through the ropes.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Segment Rating: C</strong></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> After LaRue’s entourage exits the warehouse, leaving Kass alone to patrol the floor, the opening beats of </div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy-QmgdUVTI" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy-QmgdUVTI" rel="external nofollow"><em>Heartbreaker</em></a></div><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vy-QmgdUVTI" rel="external nofollow"></a><div style="margin-left:25px;"> send the crowd into rapture.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/jOcNyCA.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The sound of over 500 people cheering as one creates a buzz like nothing ever heard in DPW before, growing even louder as Sara Marie York enters the room from backstage.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The Queen of the Ring belt around her waist, York appears to be flattered and slightly taken aback by the thunderous ovation she receives.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Having to wait out the noise from the audience, Sara flashes her trademark smile before lifting up her microphone, “LaRue, that was a hell of a show you just put on, but these cheers should tell you everything you need to know. You rail against the fans for not liking you, but why would they? At the end of the Phoenix Rise Rumble, you had a chance to earn this spot, main eventing the biggest show of the year, but instead, you took the easy way out. Tonight, there will be nothing easy about wrestling me. I am proud to be Queen of the Ring, proud to represent this company and these fans.

While Sista Kass stands at ringside with her arms crossed, her fellow member of B.W.A. wages an all-out blitz on the Queen of the Ring.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In spite of LaRue’s athleticism, Sara is able to keep up with the slender brawler, resulting in a showcase of speed and agility. However, York’s ability to counter LaRue’s charging style with her own technical acumen is somewhat disjointed. While this clunky chemistry slightly hurts the flow of the match, the two wrestlers involved have enough experience to overcome their clash of styles to still deliver a memorable main event.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As the breakneck pace continues, neither woman is able to gain the advantage, LaRue not quite landing her punches cleanly while York falls back on submission holds to keep her opponent down on the mat.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Never able to get the Queen of the Ring in position for Black Power, LaRue resorts to dirty tactics, feigning injury to draw Sara in, then springing a surprise roll-up on the champion. When this sneak attack fails to pay off, the slender brawler becomes increasingly frustrated as she searches for a way to throw her composed foe off kilter.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This chance finally presents itself when LaRue brings referee Gregory Chapman into the fray. With LaRue pounding on York in the corner, the referee calls for a break, which the member of B.W.A. obliges. Knowing that Sara will look to create some additional space between herself and the brawler, LaRue grabs Chapman, putting the referee in the line of fire just as York lunges out with a kick.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When the champion’s foot connects directly with Chapman’s jaw, the referee crumbles to the mat, and LaRue wastes no time in seizing the distracted Queen of the Ring for Black Power.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With both the referee and her opponent down, LaRue knows that attempting a pin on Sara at this point will do her title pursuit no good, so instead she demands her stablemate at ringside hand her a chair.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i.imgur.com/m1TODO6.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> LaRue’s words are heard loud and clear by everyone in the warehouse, yet Kass does not move. When LaRue repeats her demand, even louder this time, the 240-pound wrestler remains motionless.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Now climbing out of the ring, LaRue gets into the face of her fellow B.W.A. member, jabbing her finger into Kass’ chest. After grabbing a chair, LaRue continues to berate her stone-faced partner, which distracts her from York rising from the mat.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> When the champion looks to her left and sees Gregory Chapman still down on the canvas, she turns her attention to the shouting LaRue. Climbing to the top rope, the Queen of the Ring pops the crowd by targeting her opponent with a missile dropkick. Responding to the noise from the audience, LaRue turns just in time for York to hit her with a direct shot, the chair moving in front of the brawler’s face so that the kick drives the steel into her skull.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With LaRue knocked out at her feet and Sara just starting to rise, Kass takes one look at the scene then turns and heads up the ramp, never looking back.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Dragging her opponent back into the ring, York grabs LaRue for an Energy Burst, just as the referee finally recovers. With the ecstatic crowd counting along, Chapman slowly slaps the mat 1 – 2 – 3 to give Sara the victory.</div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Winner via Pinfall and Still DPW Queen of the Ring: Sara Marie York</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Match Rating: C+ (68)</strong></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </DIV></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> As York continues to celebrate with her Queen of the Ring title to the adoration of the fans, the video screen cuts backstage, where a blood-covered Kathryn Beth Chase stands in front of a dirty mirror.</div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p><span>http://i.imgur.com/d8b9d8M.jpg</span></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"> “I have made the sacrifice.

This way, I get to have my cake and eat it too, with the Ladies getting a big win while further the B.W.A. storyline (and setting up LaRue's loss in the main event).</p><p> </p><p> The most ironic part of the whole thing is that Kass actually came out looking the best in the eyes of the fans from anyone on the whole show, gaining a whopping three points of popularity despite losing, and is now basically even with Kate Avatar as the most over person in the company.

So instead, Miyoshi wins, her storyline for next season gets shifted to someone else (who probably makes more sense for it anyway) and Kaede gets humiliated even further, leading to...</p><p> </p><p> The good news is Emiko continues to learn, Kaede performances have held up despite the constant losing, and both women should have big parts to play next season (if I can figure it all out).</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Maul Queens vs Velvet Dream</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>Maul Queens haven't exactly been lighting it up, and Seduction's been running the same shtick for too long.</em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah, with Roxy coming back, and Karen Killer now in the picture, I feel like I'm full up on managers. Seduction has been good in her roll (she did have great chemistry with both teams she managed), but really her character has gone as far as it can with DPW and served her purpose in getting Electric Dreamer over.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DarEatWorld" data-cite="DarEatWorld" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><em>This one I've gone back and forth on.

You're right that the Maul Queens have a cloudy future without their manager.

It helps that both her and Claire nearly stole the show with their performances and chemistry.

Flame is still one of the top performers in the company, both in the ring and on the mic, but if she's hit her popularity cap, where do I go with her? Do I turn her into a gatekeeper? Do I job her out for awhile to leech her popularity to other people that can be bigger?</p><p> </p><p> I don't really want to do the latter.

Going off my last comment, I'm hoping that a change in gimmick is what Laura needs. I've been getting the stale note about her gimmick for over a year now (despite maxing out the allotted tweaks available) so maybe if I change her gimmick, I'll somehow lift her popularity cap? As for Claire, she's probably better off splitting from Laura at this point, but I don't know where she would fit in for this season then. Oh well, maybe in a year. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Hoshiko Tagawa vs Sally Anne Christianson vs Selina Svelte vs Tamara McFly</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Dr_Avalanche" data-cite="Dr_Avalanche" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> Hoshiko might well retain here, but this set up seems like one of few ways the belt could move from ally to ally, so...maybe Selina wins?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I'm never one to like title changes just for storyline purposes, but here I go giving a retired wrestler the win. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> As all predicted, the four-way nature of the match caused some chaos, and losing the title really cut Hoshiko's legs out from under her, but I'm hoping it pays off in what I have planned for everyone involved in this match.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Gorgon vs Simony Sentinel</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>Based on how you've written her, I'm guessing Gorgon isn't going to be pleased about being asked to job to Simony.</em></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Well, she wasn't, but this was Gorgon returning the favor she owed Kate from awhile back. Of course, after what happened, she definitely regrets her moment of weakness.</p><p> </p><p> So...Gorgon is definitely out for an extended period of time (I'll call it a hairline fracture of the skull combined with a major concussion the game gave her), throwing a major wrench in my plans for next season. I think I've found a suitable replacement, and it adds an interesting wrinkle to Simony's character, but yeah, this one went off the rails (considering how violent the Buried Alive match was, of course the most tame match on the card results in the biggest injury in the company's history).</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Kate Avatar vs Kathryn Beth Chase</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Sudo_Nym" data-cite="Sudo_Nym" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><p> <em>Don't know how Gorgon and Sister Kass are doing, but this seems like an opportunity to solidify a new top heel.

Even before the injury to Gorgon, Kathy had proved she was ready to be a main event heel (if not the top one, at least one involved in a major storyline). There really wasn't a way to solidify her as such without her winning this match, and I think all things considered, the entire feud as a whole served that purpose.</p><p> </p><p> And yes, this storyline was very weird. It's probably the most out there thing I've done so far in this diary (Yo Ho! and Ariel Breaks' new character included) but it only gets crazier from here. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> I imagine people's enjoyment of this match will hinge a lot on the suspension of disbelief that Kathy can basically murder Kate in front of everyone.

Of course, after everyone picked LaRue, I started thinking about what that would mean for next season, and become really intrigued by the possibilities. With her performances though, Sara really did deserve to win this (her segments are topping even Kate's right now despite being 20 point lower in popularity, which I think reflects how red hot her momentum is).</p><p> </p><p> It's too bad that SMY and LaRue have bad chemistry, as I think this likely would have topped Sara's match with Laura Flame from Fire Within if that hadn't been the case, but such is life. At least it made me happy that with Sara winning, this was a one off match-up instead of an extended feud. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Pteroid" data-cite="Pteroid" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41787" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Hot damn, can't wait to see the next part</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Haha, thanks!

This diary has been going on for over a year now, and I am really excited for what is to come (in essence a soft reboot of DPW).</p><p> </p><p> That said, this past season (11 shows) took 6 months to complete, while the previous 5 seasons (36 shows) took 9 altogether. That is with cutting down on interludes, so it's not a productivity output I'm particularly proud of.</p><p> </p><p> I think for this diary to deliver at its best, I need to be posting one show per week. Part of my failure to do so has been a change in jobs that has left me with less time to write, combined with my inability to cut down on the ever growing word count of these shows.</p><p> </p><p> So, I'm taking a hiatus from DPW to work on another diary.</p><p> </p><p> Why a hiatus?</p><p> </p><p> Well, it will give me a chance in the other diary to settle on a format and writing routine that hopefully results in shows that are 1,000 to 2,000 words long instead of 6,000 to 7,000. I'd rather experiment in a different diary than do that here and mess up some big moments I think are in the offing.</p><p> </p><p> It will also give me a chance to play ahead in the DPW game as right now I'm on the day after All In X, and usually I like to play ahead 3 to 6 months.</p><p> </p><p> The other diary (preview coming soon!) will also give me a chance to write in a different voice, which hopefully I can pull off. That diary is for a playthrough I've already completed, so it'll be 24 shows and I'm hoping it will take me three months to finish. I may come back to DPW before then depending on how quickly I can figure out the new format/writing routine, but three months will be the max, so look for the new and improved DPW in 2018. <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
