[C-Verse]The Worst Idea Yet


Recommended Posts

I ask for a moment of silence for my dead hard drive, and thus my previous dynasty.

 

But it's time for new beginnings. Thus, we have the WWE. But not the one you're thinking of. No, your brave, attractive and humble scribe is plunging into the C-Verse for the first time in years. And doing it the only way I know how: stupidly.

 

Check this out: Road to Glory challenge, using modified Heidenriech challenge rules. For those unfamiliar, this means a 75 rating in everything non-wrestling related and a big fat nothing in everything else.

 

But wait, there's more.

 

Wrestling With Extreme~!

 

Product:

 

Cult - Key Feature

Hardcore and Daredevil - Heavy

Risque and Mainstream - Medium

Everything else - Low

 

Isn't it great? This is the best product for noisy crowds and absolutely NOTHING for sponsorship. Love it.

 

For the extra little something for this lovely company, we're based in Hawaii.

 

Let's do this.

 

----------

 

The inevitable start: locker room incident first show. Referee Xander Summer brought Ashley Grover to wrestler's court for not shaking hands with someone. The fiend.

 

WWE Wins

 

Live from a place by the ocean

 

Austin Smooth vs Penfold Perdition

 

Penfold is a four hundred pound dude, so naturally I gave him a porn star gimmick. It actually went over well with the crowd, which...is a thing that happened. The match was crap, but chaotic crap to help mask the fact that fat boy sucks. I may have to use that tactic myself. Penfold wins. Rating: E-

 

Next it's me time. Get used to that sentence early, folks. I come out to talk about nothing. This debuts my Psycho gimmick. It goes good too. I am awesome. Rating: E+

 

Jemma Griffiths is out next to be sexy. Every time I type her name I think it's spelled wrong. But hey, sexy. Rating: C! I should have put this in the main event slot.

 

Penfold lumbers out for his match with me, but I beat him up on the way. I was going to roll him in the ring to start the match, but I don't have a forklift in my pocket. Ring the bell, Xander! Rating: F

 

Darin Walker vs Penfold Perdition

for the WWE Big Cardboard belt

 

Well, this was crap. I may have failed to mention ealier Jemma is Penfold's manager. She was less crap. But not less crap enough to drag this crap out out of the crapper. I win, of course, because how wrestlers who book themselves roll. Rating: F+

 

Penfold's not happy, but who cares?

 

Final show rating: E+. We gained popularity. Because you can't exactly lose what you never had, right?

 

----------------

 

I wasn't able to book Ashley Grover for some reason. Investigation reveals that she's in rehab for a while. Jesus, Xander, what did you say to her?

 

We're in the hole financially, but that's going to be a thing for a while. The game plan so far is to book as many shows as fast as possible to get to a point we might actually make money. Doubt it'll work, but I'll break all of Hawaii's workers trying.

 

Hey, did you know dirty doctors are a thing now? Well, I'm getting me one of those.

 

Time to shop around for some cheaper labor while I'm waiting for...oh hey, we have an owner now. Bob Casey, jobber to the world. He set some easy goals at least. Don't drop below the bottom of the rankings, don't hire puro dudes or guys over forty. He also mentioned he's changing our product soon. NOOOOOOOOO WHY?!?!

 

While I'm hiring the cheap new talent, he also tells me not to hire MMA types. Like they'd come here anyway. But hey, he's working for free until we're better financially. Hope he has his savings.

 

So let's end week one with show two!

 

-------------------

 

Penfold is tonight's incident. I hope to God he didn't fart. Phew, he just failed to show up for an agent's meeting. Since we don't have an agent, I just tell him to knock it off. He looks at me funny and leaves, farting on the way out. Jackass.

 

WWE Rulez

 

Live from Jerry's basement. Seriously, that's the venue. I love this game.

 

Samael the Accuser vs Bob Casey

 

Winner faces me in the main event. Samael is not only cheap, he looks pretty badass . Too bad he's jobbing to Jobby McJobberson tonight. Pay them dues boy. Rating: E-

 

To the surprise of none of the 5 people here in the basement, I jump Bobby after the match. They got hyped for it, though. Rating: F+

 

I spend some time explaining how much Bob sucks and wants to ruin my beautiful violent creation. They LOVE it. Rating: D+

 

Bob Casey vs Darin Walker

for the WWE Cardboard belt

 

Well, it couldn't have matched the hype, but it still went better than it had any right to, with me involved. Casey is a pro, I'll give him that. And like a pro, looked at the lights and gave me the rub. I'm still pissed about his threat to change my product. Rating: E-

 

To celebrate, Jemma comes out and looks sexy. See, I'm learning! Rating: C-

Final Show Rating: D-. YEAH BABY

 

Bob's a little banged up after the show, the big baby. It also occurs to me that someone besides me should look strong, so I look better when they job to me. For the good of the business, of course.

 

Join me next time, when I see how much debt I can accrue before getting canned.

Added extra potential popularity gains for Local, Small and Regional companies by request. These sized companies can now gain an extra few percentage points for good quality shows. This makes it marginally quicker to move up in size, even if the industry is in a poor state.

 

OH THANK GOD

 

So let's get back to this before I forget about it again.

 

Well what do you know it's another frigging incident. Natalie didn't pay here share of the bar tab. Bob told her to buy drinks for everybody. Me first!

 

Nat improved from that. Um, ok.

 

MORE SHOW RIGHT NOW

 

WWE Rulez

 

Live from the place under the place

 

I decide to take the day off. Because I can. Might as well let the other boys shine a bit.

 

Lucas Danger vs Bob Casey

 

Lucas and Bob have some nice chemistry. Awesome news for a throwaway match. Bob wins, by virtue of not being a druggie. Rating: E-

 

Nat tells me Lucas was stoned. Not exactly a news flash sweetie.

 

I beat up Bob after the match, because why not? Rating: F+

 

Samael the Accuser vs Natalie DiMarco who doesn't accuse much at all, really

 

Samael takes this one really easy, proving himself worthy to lose to me later on. Good for him. Rating: E

 

I jump Samael too, just to assert myself. What, I meant a day off from wrestling. Rating: F+

 

Bob Casey vs Samael the Accuser of who farted, really that's nasty, man

 

Samael goes over the boss, despite Nat being completely crap at road agenting stuff. But it did the job, I guess. Rating: E

 

I go to jump Samael again, and he beats me up! OMG what a swerve, right in my face. Rating: E- Serves you right, hogging my spotlight.

 

Jemma is pretty easy on the eyes. Proof right here. Rating: C

 

Rating: E+

 

Needs more me, clearly.

 

After the show, Bob complains about Lucas being wasted. Well, you're the boss. Do something about it.

 

Well fine, I guess. I will. KNOCK IT OFF LUCAS. I'm sure it'll stick this time.

 

Spoiler: It didn't do crap.

 

Join us next time, when Samael totally has a chance to beat me. No, really, it might happen.

<p>So a quick look at the first month seems in order. I managed to pick up tiny amounts of wrestling skills, including a 4 in Safety! My entertainment skills are growing as well, which is even more important. I'm the biggest draw in my tiny pond, managing an E- in the islands. </p><p> </p><p>

So ends the good news. WWE is in debt and will continue to be so for a long while yet. I don't think the vultures are circling yet or anything, but they're probably migrating in my direction. My locker room is AWFUL. Everyone's getting dinged in the morale for toxic atmosphere. All in all, we're in rough shape. But I'm getting over, so I'm declaring victory for the month anyway.</p><p> </p><p>

For fun, I decide to pack on some weight. As a flabby light heavy, I can't possibly go wrong, right? Never really used this feature, so it should be fun to screw this up too.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Wins</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Live from the usual spot crowded with 16 regulars.</p><p> </p><p>

No locker room incidents. It's like I don't even know these people anymore.</p><p> </p><p>

Bob Casey and Jemma are out her to talk about the upcoming fight with Dimarco. And so they do. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Bob Casey vs Natalie Dimarco</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Bob's moving his way down the card, being a good solid hand who's not leaving anytime soon regardless. So Natalie gets the win and a little bit better at the same time. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

I'm out here to talk about how awesome I am. Because someone has to. Rating: D+</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Simony Sentinel vs Samael the Accuser</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Pretty good match for a car crash style, especially since the masked woman made another appearance and knocked both of them out. Nothing says hardcore like a no contest! Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

I come out to confront the mystery woman, but she declines to stick around and we have us a little staredown to the delight of no one. Rating: F. Her fault, obviously.</p><p> </p><p>

But we'll send this one home on a happy note, with Jemma coming out and being hot to close the show. Got to know your audience. Rating: D+</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Rating: D-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

All is quiet, except for the constant complaining about the locker room environment, so let's jump right into the next show. </p><p> </p><p>

Locker room incident time. Now we're back on solid ground. Nat didn't pay her bar tab, so now she gets to buy us all drinks. Probably need them after this show. </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Rulez</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Live in a crowded basement of 17 freaks and geeks. And the audience!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Shiva vs Natalie Dimarco</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Nat continues her winning ways over the little bruiser. As a bonus, they have good chemistry together. Awesome start for us. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

I'm out to talk about my opponent for the evening, local favorite Molokai Milk. Unfortunately, all my dairy related puns fall flat. Well, even I have an off night now and then. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Bob Casey vs Samael the Accuser</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Three guesses how this ends. You know, if I wasn't here, Sam would easily be the best thing about our litte slum fed. Too bad for him. At least he wins here. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

Molokai's out to rebut my earlier comments. Does so quite handily too. The jerk. Rating: D-</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Molokai Milk vs Darin Walker</strong></p><p><strong>

Ladder match for the WWE Big Cardboard championship</strong></p><p> </p><p>

I wanted a deathmatch, but Milkman has moral qualms with his fake violence. Wouldn't take a sick bump either, so I did. It's no wonder I book myself to win, I'm the only one willing to do whatever to send the crowd home happy. Winner is me. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

And Jemma does the usual closing of the show. Rating: D</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Rating: E+</strong> Stupid disappointing main event.</p>

Surprised Bob would even talk to you with that hardcore product. Guy has no interest in being hit with anything harder than a swimming pool noodle. That said, he does make a terrific trainer for young talent and will certainly give you upper card matches worthy of a micro-indy like yourself. And i don't know about you but in my games, he'd be the agent holding the meeting that kept being missed.

<p>So I made the mistake of looking at the state of the economy in the US of A. F+ but at least it's rising. The industry is a D however, and falling. I am oh so glad I looked.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Wins</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The mystery woman got herself another incident doing the preaching thing. So I fine her and give the proceeds to charity. She doesn't like that much. Isn't charity a thing in your religion, lady?</p><p> </p><p>

Live from yada yada</p><p> </p><p>

We open with talking, because it's not like wrestling brings people into the basement. It's me, in a wheelchair, talking about the terrible attacks we've all been suffering through from the mystery woman. And that jerk Samael. But I will recover soon, and you'll all pay. For the good of the company. Rating: C-. BOOM promo for the ages, even if only twenty people heard it.</p><p> </p><p>

Bob's out with Jemma, and the former has a match with Simony, while the latter gets to show her body off to close the show. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Bob Casey vs Simony Sentinel</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Bob got tired during this seven minute match. Endurance like that, he should be a main eventer around here. Interestingly, Simony performed to his level, which is rare around here. Keep an eye on her. She also wins. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

Natalie's out to promote her match with Samael. After the promo I cut the rest of these just make me sad face. Rating: E- </p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Natalie DiMarco vs Samael the Accuser</strong></p><p> </p><p>

This was pretty good. Well, by our standards. Maybe because there was no screwy finish this time. Natalie wins this one. Rating: E. Pay no attention to the fact that my lack of appearance in the main event resulted in a better match.</p><p> </p><p>

Aaaaaand here comes the mystery woman to ruin things. But wait, I get out of my wheelchair and stop her from attacking! It was a clever ruse. Rating: F. </p><p> </p><p>

And Jemma does the thing, which for once isn't the highlight of the show. Rating: D+</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Show Rating: D!</strong></p><p> </p><p>

I really like the idea of the mystery woman, but she hasn't brought the ratings and her preaching just annoys everyone. FIRED!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Rulez</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Nat's in wrestler's court again, charged with not shaking hands. Free drinks for everyone again!</p><p> </p><p>

From the underground of Jerry's house with twenty other folks.</p><p> </p><p>

Samael is not nearly as impressed as I am with Simony, so he's going to beat her up. Sounds reasonable. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Samael the Accuser vs Simony Sentinel</strong></p><p> </p><p>

I didn't book a winner in this one, because I didn't really care. Simony managed to beat Sam, who has not had a good time of things lately. She's been doing well enough to deserve it though. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

Bob and I are out to talk about our tag team table match tonight against Nat and Shiva. Bob couldn't really hang here in the promo. Shame. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Shiva and Natalie Dimarco vs Bob Casey and Darin Walker</strong></p><p><strong>

Tag Team Tables match</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Natalie was the star of the show here, and her and Shiva work well together. Hard to put a tag division together with only six people though. Still, she wins by putting Bob through a table, because I can't be taking clean losses. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

Jemma and I close the show, combining my ability to talk good with her ability to look good. Well done us. Rating: D</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Show Rating: E</strong>. Well, it'll do.</p><p> </p><p>

Join us next time, as I continue to hunt for fresh talent that doesn't bomb my locker room.</p>

<p>We begin anew with the same old same old. Samael isn't into handshaking this time. I'm starting to think this wrestler's court thing a bit repetitive.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Wins</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Live on tape from the underground place. 23 people with nothing better to do. </p><p> </p><p>

I come out to welcome everyone and inform them, in the interest of fairness, that tonight everyone will bring the sexy, lest we think the WWE only consider women to be sexual objects. Rating: D+</p><p> </p><p>

And we'll begin with Bob Casey, you lucky ladies and gay guys. Rating: E. This angle got the crowd hotter. HAHHHAHAHAHAHAHHA</p><p> </p><p>

Simony Sentinel is out next, and not surprisingly is much better recieved. She doesn't dance as good as Bob though. Rating: D</p><p> </p><p>

Samael is supposed to be next, but doesn't approve of such risque activities. So Natalie comes out and beats him up. That'll learn him. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

Natalie does her sexy thing after. Rating: D</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Simony Sentinel vs Shiva</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Oh hey a match. Decent enough affair, with Simony picking up a bit of brawling as well as the win. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Samael the Accuser vs Natalie Dimarco</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Still not happy, our Sammy. And he'll continue not being happy, as Natalie takes the win here. Think it might be time to give her the title shot again. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

And even on a night like this, there is only one way to end the show. Take it away, Jemma. Rating: D+</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Show Rating: D-</strong>. And I wonder why I have wrestling at all on the show.</p><p> </p><p>

I have a habit of eyeballing estimated sponsorship income between shows, since there's no way of telling when WWE's popularity goes up until the letter grade changes. We are slowly inching up toward a grand a month now, which was much faster than I was expecting. Maybe I will make a go of it soon.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Rulez</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Simony won't shake hands and so on. This is getting really damned old.</p><p> </p><p>

Live in front of the same 23 people.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm out to say hi, and tell people that I'm going to beat Natalie tonight in the main event. Uh, spoilers dude. Rating: E+</p><p> </p><p>

Shiva comes out for his match, but gets beaten up by Samael. Rating: F</p><p> </p><p>

Turns out, Sam is mad as hell at Natalie, and refuses to leave until she comes out. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Bob Casey vs Samael the Accuser</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Bob thinks he can move him the old fashioned way. He is dead wrong. Sam beats the hell out of him and pins him in just a few minutes. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

Is there anyone who can stop this man?</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Simony Sentinel vs Samael the Accuser</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Yes, yes there is. It went back and forth a bit, but Simony pulls out the win, much to Samael's disgust. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

Now that he's gone, Natalie's out to talk about the match tonight. She thinks she's going to win. More on that later. Rating: E</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Natalie Dimarco vs Darin Walker</strong></p><p><strong>

Ladder Match for the most coveted prize in our sport, the piece of cardboard I wear around</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Natalie disagreed with the booking here, until I glared at her and cracked my knuckles. I am such a good boss. Not much to say, really. I'm terrible at wrestling but keep winning at it. Rating: E-</p><p> </p><p>

Insert usual ending here. Rating: D+</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Show Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Join us next time as I decide if I'd be better off making this a strip club with occasional wrestling.</p>

It occurs to me during a reread of my posts that I am pretty much every scumbag indy promoter ever. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

 

WWE Wins

 

No incidents. Going to have to buy my own beer tonight.

 

35 people and counting.

 

We open the show with me, as we should. I talk about my upcoming match with Sam, and my annoyance with Bob and Jemma. Compelling stuff. Rating: D

 

Shiva vs Natalie Dimarco

 

This was just to keep Natalie warm for future plans I haven't planned yet. Good chemistry is just a bonus. Rating: E-

 

Simony Sentinel vs Bob Casey

 

And this is becuase Bob wants some momentum. Remember ladies, this was his idea, not mine! Bob goes over, of course. Rating: E

 

But more importantly, back to me. As I come back to the ring, Jemma arrives to tell me that she thinks Bob should get a match with me as well. Well, he can wait in line for his inevitable loss. I agree to a match next show, then beat her up for annyoing me. I am a awful, awful person. Rating: D-. She can't hang with me on the mic either.

 

Samael the Accuser vs Darin Walker

for the WWE only slightly duct-taped Championship

 

I suppose I could have given Sam some promo time, but that would have cut into my segments. Priorities, y'know? Not like we don't know how this story ends. Until Bob Casey shows up, at least and pushes me off the top rope through a merchandise table that was oddly close to the ring. And then Samael drags me back in and puts his feet on the ropes just to make sure. Samael actually wins. What a twist! Rating: E-. You didn't think I'd lose clean, didya?

 

Bob and Jemma spend the post match beating me up to the horror of my dozens of fans, losing storyline heat in the process. THANKS BOSS. Rating: E-

 

Final Show Rating: E+. This better shut him up about the momentum thing now.

 

Well, this at least put us over the popularity hump. We are now F in Hawaii, and E- in company momentum. Apparently there's a market in me beating up women. That's disturbing.

 

Sam's also the most over wrestler in the company. I'm not too surprised there, though I'll have to get that heat back. And the belt, of course.

 

The backstage environment is even improving. I think they just like seeing me get my ass kicked.

 

While I wait for time to pass I shop for new blood. Even I get tired of jobbing the same old same old folks.

 

WWE Rulez

 

Incident, Shiva, handshake, booze. Bob is hardcore on that handshake thing.

 

39 humanoids in attendance.

 

Bob Casey and Jemma are out to talk about finally getting one over on me. Totally unjustified, in my opinion. Rating: E-

 

Bob then calls out Sam wanting his title match. Samael's out to respond, and after some terrible back and forth, determine that he needs to beat someone else to earn it, since he technically challenged me and not the champ. Meanwhile, Sam's taking the ever so worthy Shiva tonight. Reminder not to let these guys freestyle their promos. Rating: E-. Crowd got hotter regardless.

 

Bob Casey vs Austin Smooth

 

Austin's a local doing a one night gig, so three guesses how this ends. Austin carries the match well, and puts the boss over clean. Rating: E+. Maybe I should give the kid a real contract.

 

Samael's out to talk about beating me last time. Because whenever Poochie's not around, everyone should be asking, "Where's Poochie?". Rating: E. Much better scripted.

 

Then he talks about beating up Shiva tonight for a change. Oddly, the crowd's all about that. Rating: E+

 

Shiva vs Samael the Accuser

for the right to keep my belt warm

 

Hey what do you know, the match quality improves when I'm not around. Who'd have thought? Samael wins, of course, because it's Shiva. Rating: E+

 

And Jemma's out for the usual to end the show. Rating: D+

 

Final Show Rating: D-. Not bad for me not being around.

 

Not to much else to tell this around, as I enjoy some time off. Join me next time, when I make my no doubt glorious comeback.

<p>So, for the very first time in this company's brief history, we've reached a 50% backstage rating. It's so peaceful and serene compared to normal. So I expect three incidents at showtime to keep me on my toes.</p><p> </p><p>

Besides the gradual fade of the toxic atmosphere I had only kind of encouraged in the early goings, another factor has been the newest edition to our roster. Somehow adding another teenager to this party makes things calmer. Not been my experience in the past, but what do I know? So let's meet the new kid in today's exciting episode of...</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Wins</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Now with three less incidents than I predicted.</p><p> </p><p>

41 people and climbing.</p><p> </p><p>

Natalie Dimarco is out here to talk about her match with Simony after this talk. She's also out here so I can she if she promos okay. <strong>Rating: E+</strong>. Of course I gave her a script. I'm not that confident.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Simony Sentinel vs Natalie Dimarco</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Here's that match we were just talking about. I didn't book a winner, but Natalie wins, despite getting crapped on by crowd of literal basement dwellers. Well, any heat's good heat, right? <strong>Rating: E</strong></p><p> </p><p>

I come out to have a small lecture on why despite Bob's unprovoked and spiteful attack that broke multiple no doubt important bones, I will not interfere in his title match tonight. See, I am completely trustworthy. <strong>Rating: E+</strong>. STOP LAUGHING, I AM TRUSTWORTHY</p><p> </p><p>

Bob is out to talk about his match with Sammy boy tonight. Well, Jemma's doing all the talking really, and that is for the best. <strong>Rating: E-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Samael's out to give his side of the story. And that side is, Bob sucks, Sam rules. Sounds legit. <strong>Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Bob Casey vs Samael the Accuser</strong></p><p><strong>

for the greatest prize in the basement</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Hope Bob liked his push. He got really close, before he was suddenly distracted by someone messing with his woman! Hey, not by me, it was Jumpin Johnny Needham, who at least two people in the crowd recognized. So my hands are clean. But not Samael's victory. <strong>Rating: E</strong></p><p> </p><p>

With Jemma suddenly leaving due to random dude jumping out of the crowd to molest her, the crowd is confused on how the show ends. So Natalie's out to take her place. <strong>Rating: D-</strong>. Oh, sure <em>now</em> you guys like her.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Show Rating: E+</strong>. Show got dinged for not having Wild Brawls, Car Crashes, or Mayhem matches. Must of misclicked. Ask around about the John Cone/John Cena thing.</p><p> </p><p>

So, Ashley Grover is another positive influence in the locker room, despite her only contribution to the company was getting talked into rehab by our referee. This place is weird. I didn't even pay her anything.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>WWE Rulez</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Still no incidents. Spooky.</p><p> </p><p>

Still 41 people. Probably a coincidence.</p><p> </p><p>

Bob is out to confront me about the incident last time. Hey, I did nothing, and couldn't since he injured me unjustly and gave me amnesia. Besides, the winners of the two matches tonight get to square off next time to get a shot at Sam's belt. He seems unimpressed. Some people are impossible to please. <strong>Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Johnny is out here to talk about how awesome he is and how he's going to win pretty much always. He was frigging awful, and I had to do the heavy lifting. Next time, cue cards. <strong>Rating: E-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Simony Sentinel vs Johnny Needham</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Yeah, I'm managing the guy who attacked my enemy. Pure coincidence. Simony does a good job putting him over, with me being awesome ringside. <strong>Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Bob and Jemma are out to talk about their distrust of me, and how good it will be to get Bob's hands on Johnny. Sounds...suggestive. <strong>Rating: E-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

I gave Samael some mic time to freestyle a promo about how badass he is. He was...better than Johnny. <strong>Rating: E+</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Natalie Dimarco vs Bob Casey</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Well, this is going the obvious way, to set up the revenge match between, oh wait, no it's not, I attack Bob while the ref's not looking, costing him the match. NOW you can blame me for interfering. <strong>Rating: E-</strong>. Crowd still razzing Natalie.</p><p> </p><p>

Jemma will do the usual to close the sh...nope, Natalie knocks her down and strips her to the delight of the crowd. <strong>Rating: D</strong></p><p> </p><p>

And Natalie again dos the sexy dance to end the show. <strong>Rating: D</strong>. I guess they're fine as long as she doesn't wrestle.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Show Rating: D-</strong></p><p> </p><p>

And despite the crowd crapping on her wrestling, Natalie autopushes to Main Event by the power of her own two breasts. Not sure if I should be pleased or feel sorry for her.</p><p> </p><p>

Join us next time as Natalie's sexy collides against Samael's gothy for the Cardboard Strap.</p>
