Phil Vibert grins. “Oh, yeah,” he says. “The Heart of Darkness? With those guys, we felt it.”</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Tyson Baine scratches his chin. “Originally it was just going to be me and Karen as a duo, but things changed fast. Karen and I weren’t a good fit, at all. Just couldn’t get the timing right, so it always looked crap when she tried to interfere. Then I had this tag match at a house show in Des Moines where she was there with me and Charlie, and her chemistry with Charlie was just…yeah. It was right there.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“So they took Karen out of my corner and put her in his, but that left me without a mouthpiece and no-one wanted me talking. They barely wanted me in the ring, for those first few months. My instructions were simple: go out, kill someone, roar. Phil offered me a thousand dollar a night bonus if I succeeded in actually getting someone to outright piss their pants.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“No-one actually said we were becoming a stable. I worked with Romeo a little on Hollyweird TV. I worked with Charlie on Underground TV. Those two didn’t interact very much, so it was just…one of those things. BLZ Bubb liked to destroy people, those two gave him an opportunity.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Then Karen got this idea in her head, and it all just came together.”</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“You can tell a success of a stable by looking at how many people get over when you finally break it up. I figured we were all about getting Tyson established, maybe putting Heartthrob into position for a decent run at the belt. Charlie was winding down, but Romeo still had the fire for the business and it hadn’t beating him up so bad, given the style he worked.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“It was a great time for me, in terms of learning how to work. He basically took me and showed me how to really make the most of the nuances when you’re managing. Not just on the stick, although I learned a lot from watching the ways he and Romeo laid out promos – Charlie just had a knack for figuring out how to utilise me as a storytelling tool that would get us both over.”</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“When Strong was in charge, he had this plan for a stable with me, Joel, and Steadyfast. Old school wrestling heels, running in a pack, exactly the kinds of guys he could run through on TV. Someone to keep the All-Star Team busy, maybe hire out as muscle to guys like Heartthrob and Chord. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“That was about as planned as things got. There wasn’t any hear to it – there were just three guys who worked an old-school style, destined to spend the next few months putting over the guys working the top program.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“There’s no shame in that. I’d been that guy my entire career. If you’re the guy a booker relies upon to get the next guy over, you’ve got a steady paycheck and your stock with the booker stays high. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“Phil Vibert took one look at us and suggested I take the boys down to California Pro for a stretch, work out some of the kinks in the unit. Get some strings in our bow that aren’t just going out there and wrestling.”</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“I get it. I just think he underestimated what going out there and wrestling could really do.”</div></div></div>

Another great Hollyweird episode. I do have to say, I think Charlie Homicide and Romeo Heartthrob have been two real standouts thus far. Charlie Homicide is totally original, but I can see the influence of ECW Raven in the nihilism his promo work. Jake Roberts in how darkly compelling he is without having to raise his voice. Early WWE Shield with the "hijacked camcorder" promo set-ups. The interplay between Homicide and Karen Killer has been pitch-perfect for me - enough that their interplay was one of the factors that led me to hiring Karen Killer (20 years later in time) to portray "Lilith" in my diary. Homicide's great in that he's one of those heels who doesn't need to actively be in the title hunt to still be perceived as a major threat - and as long as he's booked strong, he's great as someone who can get someone else over after having tormented them.

 

Heartthrob is easily the #1 heel in this diary for me. I'm sure he's not as good a technician as Rip Chord, but it's clear he's on point in terms of his promo work. He's got a very self-aware heel attitude, a veteran who knows all the tricks and the narrative tropes and is able to turn them to his advantage. Romeo's striking me as the kind of wrestler that people back in the day would say could "talk an audience into a building" - which is how Ric Flair became a legend, instead of just a great wrestler.

I have no clue who Flanagan is but but wow...what a prick.

[arwink]

<p>Walter "Flapjack" Flanagan: big heavyweight, 21 year veteran, five year run in Supreme back in the eighties that culminated as in a monster-of-the-moment program challenging Strong for the Championship. Earned his nickname by hitting his signature Flapjack 13 times against a jobber during a squash in Championship Wrestling from Boston, where he started career. Has spent the last decade drifting through independents and minor federations cashing in on his name value. </p><p> </p><p>

I think he originally appeared in That 70s Mod, along with Jimmy Power and a couple of the other characters in the 97 database.</p><p> </p><p>

Completely superfluous as a monster heel in a company that also features BLZ Bubb and the Demons of Rage, so my booking notes for him basically consists of two words. Prick is definitely one of them <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Eric Tyler is quick to sing Prince’s praises here, pointing out that in a company packed with veterans with twenty year careers, it’s easy to fall into the trap of considering a ten-year journeyman like Craig Prince a youngster. He isn’t. At twenty-seven years old he can already lay claim to being two-time Canadian Champion up north, a black-belt in Judo, and a man who has the potential to be the best submission wrestler in the world. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He batters Lucha in the opening minutes of the match, using size and power to bludgeon the masked man across the ring. Lucha takes a few moments to adapt, but once he does he starts ducking and weaving, adopting a hit-and-run approach. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The commentary team start debating whether Prince has ever encountered anyone with a style like Lucha, but the younger man proves that he’s adaptable. When he does get hold of Lucha, he punishes him with suplexes and crossface strikes, staying strong even when he loses hold of the veteran again. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Lucha, by contrast, never really connects with any of his signature moves. He does pick up the victory, but it comes courtesy of a quick roll-up that’s as much chance as technique. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

For a moment, Lucha and Prince both sit in the middle of the ring, the end of their match arriving so fast that neither is particularly sure that it’s over. Prince registers what’s happened first, going after Lucha and hauling him into the corner of the ring where Prince unleashes a series of stiff knee strikes.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Canadian Wolves charged down the aisle, sliding under the bottom rope and hauling Prince off his victim. Prince steps forward and Holmes pushes him back, while Flash tries to calm Prince down. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Prince is incensed and more than willing to take a swing when it’s two-on-one odds. He actually connects on Holmes, a solid right hand to the jaw that sends Holmes stumbling backwards, but narrowly ducks a hook kick from Flash that would have taken his head off. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Prince edges around Flash, shrewdly assessing the situation and showing respect for Flash’s abilities. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Meanwhile, Eric Tyler takes off his headphones at the commentary booth. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Tyler steps into the ring besides Prince, backing the younger man up. For a moment Flash, Prince, and Tyler all stare at another, waiting for someone to make the first move.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Then Eric Tyler pats Prince on the shoulder, mouths the words “you’ve made your point,” and slowly edges the Shooter out of the ring as Holmes and Lucha both recover to the point where the odds are now against the heels. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

They’re not pretty, but every single thing on the video looks incredibly painful, particularly clip after clip of their finishing sequence: one man holds an opponent in a bearhug; the other charges in with a stiff big boot to the jaw as Mitch Naess screams “FALL OF MAN” on commentary.</em></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em> </em></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>

This is a solid debut for Carvill and Montague. The match isn’t long and they’re not yet at the level of the Canadian Wolves, but the athleticism and potential of the pair is on display as they endeavour to hold off Flash and Holmes. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Naess lauds their athleticism and their intelligence, mentioning their time spent at Harvard earning degrees before entering the world of pro-wrestling, and the fact that Bryan Holmes is still recovering from the right to the jaw gives them plenty of opportunities to engage in skulduggery and double-teams.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

For the Wolves, this is a showcase of their versatility and endurance. Holmes starts off a little shaky, but it wears off quickly as they hit their stride. Once that happens the Wolves wrestle, they fly, and they brawl…and ultimately finish the match when Rich Montague falls to a hook kick/sweep kick double-team Mitch Naess dubs the Final Impact. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The two men lock up and Rockwell fires a series of stiff elbows into Power’s ear, which turns out to be a warning of what’s to come. Power goes for a hammerlock off the second lock-up, but Rockwell keeps reversing, eventually rolling Power over and locking in an ankle lock. Power gets to the ropes to break the hold, tries to wear Rockwell down with a series of big slams. Rockwell absorbs the punishment, comes back with a flurry of strikes, then hits a big belly-to-bell suplex before securing a second ankle lock to claim the submission. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Nicole Kiss comes out with Anderson, but he shakes his head when she tries to occupy his corner and points towards the commentary booth. This leaves his manager as guest colour commentator as he wrestles a surprisingly clean match against Martin – they lock up, exchange holds, getting each other’s measure…and Anderson actually offers his opponent a handshake with no sign of deceit of sneak attack. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Things step up a gear after that and the two really lay into one another. Martin hits hard, hammers Anderson with kicks and forearms. Anderson fires back with takedowns, working submission holds on the head and neck, softening his opponent up for the Ammo Dump. One of them, an arm submission near the ropes, looks particularly ugly, and Martin is noticeably favoring his arm afterwards.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

They go back and forth, trading the advantage, with Anderson getting the double underhook on Martin four times only to have his opponent wriggle free before the Ammo Dump can be applied.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Martin, by comparison, only hits the step-up Enziguri once, but it’s really all he needs. Anderson is rattled, and the Brainbuster lays him out in short order. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

“So we’re halfway through the match when Anderson put an armbar on me. Some stupid, modified thing he saw on a tape from Japan that he hadn’t quite mastered yet. Stupid, reckless thing to do and it strained the tendons in my arm bad enough I spent a month in a sling.”</p><p> </p><p>

Johnny Martin shakes his head.</p><p> </p><p>

“I spent the rest of the match chewing him out for that, and I wasn’t too polite about it.”</p><p> </p><p>

“The first time you injure someone in a match is always a turning point for a young wrestler. Injuries happen in this business. What we do isn’t ballet. But you go out there and you hurt a guy, affect his ability too earn money and provide his a family – especially when it’s a dumb mistake and you’re the one who made it – it’s going to affect you.</p><p> </p><p>

“Some guys get hurt and decide that they’re done. They’re not coming back, and this isn’t the way they want to make their living.</p><p> </p><p>

“Some guys hurt someone, and they have the same reaction. The best of them learn from the experience, get better, get safer. We had to hope that was something John was capable of.”</p><p> </p><p>

“I love John like a brother, but I tell you what – I’m glad I was wrestling beside him instead of against him through ninety-seven.” Brent Hill is seated on the big red couch, wearing an Affliction MMA shirt, his hair buzzed down to a severe crew-cut. “He wasn’t quite as reckless as Paez, but…yeah, he wasn’t always the safest guy. He relied on the other guy to protect himself, instead of taking care of him.</p><p> </p><p>

“There were a couple of guys like that on the roster at the beginning. Jack Bruce hadn’t got it down yet, neither had Carvill when he debuted. The whole Reckless thing was a huge rib on Ramon, ‘cause he focused on his spots and to hell with you when he started out. </p><p> </p><p>

“Those guys grew out of it. Other guys…Whistler, Homicide…I don’t want to speak ill of those guys, but they liked to work snug and liked to really lay it in when they hit something.</p><p> </p><p>

“A lot of fans don’t get it sometimes, why the guys they love don’t get a run at the top. There’s a lot of reasons it happens, but more often than not, it comes down to two words: consistency, safety.</p><p> </p><p>

“If you aren’t safe, they can’t put you at the top of the card. They can’t risk you putting a top guy out and killing the next show.</p><p> </p><p>

“If you aren’t consistent…look, if you’re the top guy, you’ve got to deliver every night, night after night. It doesn’t matter if you’re brilliant one week, but you drop the ball the next. </p><p> </p><p>

“You have to carry the show, not get carried.”</p><p> </p><p>

“There was a rumour just before Christmas that Lucha had met with someone from Supreme. He was on a handshake deal at the time, because he wanted to keep working Mexico, and someone in Eisen’s camp got wind of it.</p><p> </p><p>

“He put over Jack Bruce at Malice. He put over Craig Prince on TV, giving the Katahajime some legitimacy by putting over a recognised legend and one of the best in the world.</p><p> </p><p>

“There were fans who weren’t happy about that. Two losses in a row, putting over young guns, they felt like it didn’t show respect to a man of Lucha’s talents. Lucha was fine with it – the man’s a professional – but fans get these things in their heads from time to time.</p><p> </p><p>

“What mattered wasn’t who Lucha put over in the space of a week. What mattered was the way he’d been treated in the two months up to that point, and what he wanted out of his time in America. </p><p> </p><p>

“So Phil sat down with him after the Underground taping. Went out to a sushi bar in Manhatten and they talked about what Hollyweird would need to offer in order to keep him in the fold. </p><p> </p><p>

“Eisen was offering a stack of money. He was offering a program with Flare and Ultima. He was offering pay-per-view bonuses and a big percentage of merchandise. Even with Stallings’ chequebook, it was going to be hard to match all of that.”</p>

Lucha got stolen off me too in my 97 game by the damn Eisens. Hope you can keep him

- EPISODE 10 PREVIEW –</strong></p><p><strong>

</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

This week’s Hollyweird TV opens with two of the hottest talents in the company meeting for the very first time. <strong>Larry Vessey </strong>is the heavy-hitter of the All-Star Team, capable of knocking a man out with the spinning back-fist dubbed the Sick Cycle. <strong>Monty Walker </strong>has earned his chops in the cruiserweight division – can he stand tall against a bigger, more experienced opponent?</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>The Demons of Rage</strong> rejected a gesture of respect from tag-team legends last week, beating the Blazing Flames down. A host of young teams have objected to that, including a pair of young guys from the islands of Hawaii – Rich Blood and Clark Alexander, <strong>The Night Marchers</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Rip Chord </strong>has claimed he will go after Sam Strong’s title in his own time, but he’s been laying out challenges like a man whose looking to impress HGC officials. Last week he beat the rising star of Underground TV, Steve Flash in a hard-fought match. This week, he’s laid out a challenge to the All-Star of All-Stars, <strong>Richie Pangrazzio Jr</strong>.</p><p> </p><p>

They may see like an unlikely tag-team, but Jack Bruce has joined forces with his number one fan, El Bandido, under the name <strong>Slippery When Wet</strong>. We’re not entirely sure what that name is meant to apply, but we’ll find out when they take on the <strong>Spirit Warriors.</strong> </p><p> </p><p>

A backstage altercation on <strong>Walt Flanagan</strong>’s debut night put him in <strong>Liberty</strong>’s sights, and last week’s Underground TV as made sure that the man dubbed “Flapjack” is eager to answer the American Outlaw’s challenge. It should be an exciting match, but will Flanagan’s newly revealed relationship with Jimmy Power affect the outcome?</p><p> </p><p>

Finally, our main event, where the last two eliminations from the Gauntlet at Malice in Wonderland meet to determine who will be the next contender for Sam Strong’s World Heavyweight Championship. <strong>Bryan Vessey</strong> has youth, mat-skills, and the All-Star Team at his back, while <strong>Romeo Heartthrob</strong> has experience, power, and the backing of BLZ Bubb and Charlie Homicide behind him. One of these men will be challenging for the title at The War to Settle the Score in four weeks – who will it be?</p><p> </p><p>

Backstage, the hand-held camera on its side, but this time there’s multiple sets of boots walking towards it.

</div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Larry Vessey w/Coach Pangrazzio vs. Monty Walker w/Dark Angel</strong></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Put these two competitors together and the visuals don’t support Walker at all: Larry Vessey is six-four, two hundred and eighty pounds of pure muscle; Monty Walker is six foot, barely two hundred and twenty pounds, forced to rely on speed to counter Vessey’s physical advantages.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Despite this, Walker doesn’t give an inch. He frustrates Vessey early on, ducking and weaving around the bulk of Vessey’s assault, cutting it off with a well-timed thumb to the eye. That creates the opening Walker needs to cut his opponent down with a hurricanrana and assault him on the ground. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

For a few minutes it looks like Walker’s speed will be the deciding factor here, but Vessey recovers and drops Walker with a side slam, starting his comeback. A distraction by Angel at ringside creates an opening for Walker to connect with a superkick, but he only gets a two-count off it. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Ultimately, Vessey picks up the pinfall with a Sick Cycle. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>

Larry Vessey defeated Monty Walker in 10:27 by pinfall.</strong></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>

That leaves Brayfield in the ring alone, without his clients, and the Flames both turn on him in unison.

There’s a lot of intensity to Pangrazzio in this match. He’s here with something to prove, in the ring with a legend of the sport, and the All-Star of All-Stars wrestles like a man who truly wants his name to be said in the same breath as Strong and Chord.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Chord finds himself on the back foot, getting battered by Pangrazzio’s takedowns and mat work. He stays in the match by crawling for the ropes or raking the eyes, retreating to ringside every time he needs a breather. Chord starts giving a lot of ground, searching for an opening or approach that will give him the edge. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Finally, he resorts to tearing off one of the turnbuckle pads, letting it sit exposed for several minutes before he tricks Pangrazzio into charging it. Pangrazzio hits the steel hard, wincing and curling with pain, and Chord takes immediate advantage, rolling Pangrazzio up and sneaking his feet on the ropes for the three-count. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The exchanges are heavy on flips, arm-drags, and reversals, with Jack Bruce inserting himself into the match with lariats, high knees, slams, and strutting. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Things go wrong for Slippery When Wet after an overconfident Jack Bruce poses for the crowd, then debuts a rock-and-roll leaping drop-split leg drop. His showiness gives Golden Fox time to roll free, leaving Bruce to injure himself when he lands on the bare canvas. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The Spirit Warriors capitalise on that, and after getting lit up with stiff kicks, Bruce crawls for the ropes and tags in Bandido before curling up. Bandido holds his own for a time, but ultimately falls to the Flying Fox. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

</div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Walt Flanagan has the size to be a great monster heel, but what really sets him apart is his sheer enjoyment of causing pain. Liberty is the consummate babyface, at his best when he can rally and built up momentum against a seemingly unstoppable opponent. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It’s a combination that plays well here, with the two men exhibiting a natural chemistry as they play out one of the oldest wrestling stories there is. Flanagan overpowers Liberty, hammering him with power moves and holds that grind bone against bone. Liberty breaks free, hits the ropes to build up momentum, and starts unleashing hell on his opponent with dropkicks, bulldogs, and forearm smashes. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Jimmy Power and Ramon Paez hit the ringside area, providing the distraction that allows Walt Flanagan to hit ringside and collect a chair. Liberty sees it happening, cuts Flanagan off with a low dropkick, and uses the chair to take care of Paez and Power.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

There’s a moment’s hesitation after that, as he turns to consider Flanagan, then Liberty shrugs and applies a third chair-shot in full view of the referee. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Liberty holds firm in the ring, chair in hand. Paez and Power both figure that’s as good a reason as any to leave, but Walt Flanagan seems more reluctant. He locks eyes with Liberty, takes a few steps towards the ring—</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

--and gets pulled to a halt by Power, who whispers to his old friend and starts edging him up the ramp.

Flanagan looks like he’s more than willing to answer that challenge, but Jimmy Power enlists Paez’s help to keep Flanagan moving backstage. “Not now,” Power says, although he isn’t miked. “Stick with the plan.”</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Romeo Heartthrob heads out for the main event, heading down the ramp flanked by Homicide, BLZ Bubb, and Karen Killer. Heartthrob should be the odd man out in that grouping, but he seems perfectly comfortable amid an army of madmen and monsters.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Bryan Vesseys is flanked by all the members of the All Star Team as he hads down to the ring, and for a few moments all eight bodies are in the ring, staring one another down. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Sam Sparrow goes to work, trying to urge seconds out of the ring so the match can start, but Homicide makes it difficult when he points at Richie Pangrazzio and draws a finger across his throat. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The tension escalates, teetering on the edge of becoming a full-fledged brawl, but Sparrow ultimately gets the reluctant seconds clear so the match can begin. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It’s the first main event in Hollyweird history that doesn’t involve either Sam Strong or Rip Chord, but the two men rise to the challenge. Vessey is the new-school wrestler, building his offense around take-downs and snug submissions. Heartthrob is the old school, bigger and slower, but adept at controlling the pace through legitimate and illegitimate tactics alike. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Both sides have a full cohort at ringside, watching for the other side to try something. Tensions bubble along as the match draws out, with Heartthrob and Vessey proving to be equally matched and unwilling to stay down with a title shot on the line. Vessey targets the arm, Heartthrob the neck, both of them setting up for submissions down the line.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

A ducked clothesline after eighteen minutes knocks Sam Sparrow down and the tensions bubble over. Homicide hits the ring, and Larry Vessey comes in to counter him. BLZ Bubb comes over the ropes and Coach interjects himself, trying to protect his client. A full-fledged brawl breaks out. BLZ Bubb throws Larry Vessey over the top rope and goes after him. Coach hauls Charlie Homicide out of the ring—</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

--and Richie Pangrazzio catches Bryan Vessey in a neckbreaker among the melee, dropping his All-Star Team partner hard before Sam Sparrow comes too.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Heartthrob applies the Cupid’s Clutch on his opponent, and enough damage has been inflicted that there’s no escaping it. Vessey is forced to submit while Richie Pangrazzio just stands there, watching it happen.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Heartthrob releases the hold and rolls out of the ring, unwilling to linger while he figures out what just happened. He finds his way to BLZ Bubb, where the big man is grinning with pleasure at what’s just happened, while Karen Killer is trying to coax Homicide away from a brawl with Larry Vessey now that the match is over.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Bryan Vessey is on his knees, drawing deep breaths, suffering the after effects of being caught in the Cupid’s Kiss—</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

--and Richie Pangrazzio adds injury to injury when he punts the younger Vessey in the side of the skull. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He stands over the prone youngster, glaring down at his father. The Coach is in shock, silent, meeting his son’s stare. Slowly, inevitably, Richie Pangrazzio picks Bryan Vessey up and applies a chin lock, wrenching the youngster’s neck to one side.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Larry Vessey hits the ring, looking to make the save. He swings as Pangrazzio, who releases his hold and ducks beneath it, putting Vessey on his shoulders as he rises and laying him out with an All-Star Slam.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

<p>Glad to see this back! Loved the show. Romeo is by far my fav,</p><p>

You've really given him a great voice. Honestly made me use him more in my own 97 game</p>

[arwink]

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x15/arwink/TysonBaine.jpg</span></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

“I don’t think Romeo expected things to roll the way they did in HGC.” Tyson Baine smiles broadly at the camera, in uncharacteristically good humor as he talks about his friend. “He’d spent nearly fifteen years working his schtick – go out there, insult the men in the audience, threaten to steal their women. It’s the kind of gimmick that keeps you in a job, ‘cause there’s always heat there.</p><p> </p><p>

“So he comes to Hollyweird and Vibert makes him the focus. Pushes him harder than anyone else in the company. Specifically tells him to cut back on the cheap heat and calling people sweat hogs. Teams him with…well, me and Charlie and Karen.</p><p> </p><p>

“Suddenly he’s the the guy everyone is talking about, wondering where in hell this version of Heartthrob has been hiding all these days.”</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x15/arwink/RCB.jpg</span><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x15/arwink/MitchNaess.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

“Heartthrob’s shtick…” Naess pauses long enough to be politic about what’s coming. “Look, it got him a long way in this industry. There’s always money there if you’re the kind of heel who can keep fans hating him, particular when you’re good enough that fans <em>want</em> to like you. </p><p> </p><p>

“But that whole thing he had going – calling people sweat hogs, threatning to steal their women – it’s has a ceiling. It’s what fans lovingly call a mid-card gimmick – even if it gets you to the main event, it doesn’t earn you a title run.</p><p> </p><p>

“Heartthrob spent fourteen years on national TV, playing that character. Incredible waste of his talent, but Phil wanted to capitalise on that. There are always guys fans want to see given an opportunity. Guys that people are assume are being held down by the company.</p><p> </p><p>

“So Phil went out there with a simple plan: give people a reason to believe Romeo had it in him to transcend that character, then give him opportunities to rise up the card. The dedicated fans would bring the rest of the audience along with them, and it would feel like they did it when he finally hit the main event.”</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><span>http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x15/arwink/RCB.jpg</span><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x15/arwink/JoelBryant.jpg</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

“There’s a reason Sam Strong and Rip Chord were multi-time champions, and Heartthrob was just a good hand who occasionally drifted into the main event. It’s not something a lot of fans want to hear, but it boils down to one word: consistency.</p><p> </p><p>

“You send Strong or Chord out there, you know you’re going to get their best. Night after night, week after week, match after match, for the length of their title reign. They have an off night once or twice a year, but 99% of the matches they wrestle are going to be something special.</p><p> </p><p>

“Romeo…he was a hell of a talent, but you could see the nights when he just didn’t feel it out there. If he was motivated, he was up there with the greats. When he wasn’t…well, he was still good, but he wasn’t a man you want holding a title for a year.</p><p> </p><p>

“There’s no shame in that. There are very few men who can do what Chord or Strong did. But it’s something to think about whenever people talk about Heartthrob and his title history.”</p>

They’ve clashed as tag-team competitors both inside and outside the ring, but tonight <strong>The Danger Kid </strong>and <strong>Brent Hill </strong>will meet in singles action. How will the two men fare flying solo? Which will come out victorious without the help of a partner in their corner?</p><p> </p><p>

In the main event, <strong>The Canadian Wolves </strong>are set to face off against <strong>Eric Tyler</strong> and <strong>Craig Prince</strong>. Opinions are split over which of these two teams is composed of the better men, and Phil Vibert has announced this match will be given a special, twenty-minute time limit in the hopes of establishing which team is truly better. </p><p> </p><p>

Bryant makes this a surprisingly close contest, showing signs of the same hard-hitting, MMA influences that Rockwell brings to the ring. The ground work is solid for both men, but Rockwell definitely has the advantage in the striking game, and that proves decisive. He rattles Bryant with a roundhouse kick, then gets the pinfall off a belly-to-belly suplex. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

I understand you asked for some time because you had something you wanted to say to Ramon Paez.

Last week, Ramon Paez got involved in my business. He took it poorly when I beat the man whose supposed to be his sensei.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Rockwell is cut off when Jimmy Power walks out onto the stage, backed by Paez, Walt Flanagan, and Julie Forletta. Power is dressed in an impeccable suit, and he smirks as his friends circle around Rockwell.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

And, as someone whose been on the receiving end, I even admire that roundhouse kick of yours. You’ve got a lot potential, kid, but right now, you’re raw clay.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

This is wrestling, and the rules are different. Being able to hit isn’t the same as being able to win.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Rockwell surges forward, but his way is blocked by Walt Flanagan. He glares up at the big man, ready to throw down, but settles for falling back a step and taking Chase’s microphone.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Flanagan takes a menacing step forward. Power puts a hand on his friend’s arm, pulling him back.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He did beat me...</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Power turns to look at Rockwell, his expression suddenly stern.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

You can fight, but you’re alone out here. You can fight, but you think the rules mean a damn thing. You can fight, but you don’t have the experience behind you to know what rules can be bent and what rules need to be obeyed.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Monton and Shelton are hard-hitting and methodical, a tactic that seems to benefit them early on when Jack Bruce is more interested in showboating. A hard forearm from Monton seems to remind Bruce he’s in a fight, and he quickly tags in his fan, El Bandido, to take care of it.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

And take care of it Bandido does. He can match his opponents in the hard-hitting stakes, but he switches gears rapidly when the opportunity presents itself. He gets Shelton on the mat with a belly-to-back Suplex, works him over with a series of leg submissions, then starts tagging in Bruce to hit a series of flashy double-teams. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Monton makes a fiery come-back off the hot tag, but it’s short and nowhere near enough. The Hijack Suplex on Shelton ends things not long after. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

He may call himself a trailblazer of the cruiserweight style, but the truth is that the Danger Kid really </div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><em>doesn’t</em></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> wrestle like anyone else. He’s unpredictable, high-risk, and incredibly effective…right up until Nicole Kiss interferes to cut off his momentum. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

Hill attempts to destroy Kid with a series of hard suplexes, but it isn’t long before Kid lands on his feel and rallies. The match settles into a stale-mate: Hill doesn’t have Kid’s unorthodox style, but he makes efficient use of every mistake or distraction.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

It’s a big ask of any wrestler, but with three masters of in-ring psychology combined with Bryan Holmes ability to switch offense on a dime, it doesn’t take long before fans start wondering if maybe this one will have an ending.</div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">

The difference between the two teams is measured in fractions.

In the end, it plays out as an even battle that sees no one pick up the advantage, eventually resulting in a time limit draw after twenty minutes of action. </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">
