SWF: Rolling Out of the Station


Recommended Posts

Barry's Log:

 

January 1st, 2016

 

Whelp; The contract's been signed, the paper work's been taken care of, it's official. I'm the new booker of SWF.

 

I guess this shouldn't have come to as much of a shock, I am a SWF veteran after all; former two time SWF champion and took part in some of SWF's best angles. It's thank to me Christian Faith was able to extend his career a few couple of years, and because of me; Jack Bruce began his rise to become the biggest wrestler SWF, hell, the entire world had seen in modern times. In recent years, I've retired and taken a backstage job taking care of all the matches.

 

Simply put, when you're as old as I am, it gets harder to do the things you used to do. Funny story, when I was like thirty or so I used to be able to do a shooting star press. No, I'm serious; I actually did one back in CGC back when ol' George ran the show. No chance that I could pull it off now, if I did; I'm pretty sure I'd either crack my skull open or end up in a wheelchair for the rest of my life.

 

But then, I start to ask myself? Why me? I've never run a wrestling promotion before, much less book a show. Maybe Richie got drunk off his ass again and decided to spit out some names, maybe the job was originally going to Eric or Jerry or even Phillip. (Enforcer Roberts for those not in the know) But no, he picked me...and boy did he choose a wonderful time to pick me.

 

To put it bluntly, things in SWF aren't so hot right now. In fact, they've actually kind of sucked. Don't get me wrong, the boys out in the back are trying their damnest out there and I'm sure Jerry meant well; but outside of Lobster Warrior's turn to the dark side and Gilmore and Rogue's rivalry, it's been a pretty rough year for the company. Especially in terms in ratings. And don't even get me started on the Black Wednesday Betrayal, I had to personally restrain Richard from strangling everyone. It's probably one of the reasons Peter (Michaels) got the axe, you can argue whether or not it was justified; but when he left, it was a pretty sad day for us in the locker-room.

 

And so, here I am; sitting in my office, looking at the roster, seeing what I have to work with and what I can do to make sure we don't have a repeat of last year.

 

Hold on tight, because the Runaway Train is rolling out of the station.

Main Event: The best SWF has to offer.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Face</p><p>

Age: 43</p><p>

Finisher: New York Minute (Fameasser)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: The man, the myth, the legend himself. Bruce has been running SWF since 2006, and it's not solely because of yours truly. (though I did play a big role in helping with that) Jack's got charisma up the wazoo, and he can back it up with some in-ring ability. He is getting up there in age though, so; I don't know how much longer he has up here. What's worse is that we don't really have anyone suitable to take his place yet.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 33</p><p>

Finishers: The Destroyer, (Wasteland Slam) Lumbar Puncture (Double Underhook Backbreaker)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: This guy is money. I remember when he came up there back in 2000, I predicted he'd be a world champ by the end of the decade. To my credit, I was only a few months off but can you blame me for trying? Remo might be the best worker we have on the roster and can go with a good chunk of people. Helps that he's still young so he'll be around for quite a while to come.</p><p> </p><p>

Age: 44</p><p>

Finisher: Skull Crusher (Inverted Piledriver)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: I have lots of respect for Sean, hell of a guy to hang out and drink with on occasion. We exchange stories about our days on the indy scene and talk about life in it's finest. But when he gets into Skull DeBones, it's like a completely different guy all together. Skull actually had the honor of taking my spot as the lead monster of SWF, because anyone who attacked Christian (Faith) back in the day was automatically considered a villain. That's just how popular he was back in the day. Skull's a face again and he's living out the last few years in the business, it's likely he starts putting over the upper midcard a lil' bit; maybe has a few dream matches that the so-called 'smarks' (is that what they're called?) on the internet have been waiting for.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 39</p><p>

Finisher: Crashing On (Kneeling Jawbreaker)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: I remember when Jack came over from DAVE when Ol' Rich pillaged them after they shut down, he was scared shitless by the sight of me. So much so, Rich told me to ease up on my stature just for him; he's come a long way since, he went from basically the U.K equivalent of Valiant to being perhaps the most natural heel we've got. His time with Emma Chase and the Chase Agency really helped him out and set him up for the future, At some point he'll probably turn face again; the fans seem to be catching onto his character of being a so-called 'decent and honorable person' though so that might not be for a while.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Face</p><p>

Age: 37</p><p>

Finisher: Anger Management (Russian Legsweep)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: One of the nicest, most professional wrestlers I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Talented in his craft and always trying his best to make even the lowest in the totem pole look good, that's what makes him so special amongst the SWF faithful. The 'smarks' on the internet have long fantasized about him jumping ship from SWF to go and work for TCW, NOTBPW or even USPW; but knowing him personally, he would never do that; he's a company man for life, and his hard work finally paid off for him when he won the world title for the first time in his career. Hopefully, it's not the last time we see him in this position.</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I220nSDnDPs" rel="external nofollow">Eric Eisen</a></p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 37</p><p>

Finisher: Silver Spoon Shock (Sleeper Hold Neckbreaker)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: People tend to think that the kid is a bit of an asshole, -something that's only intensified with the Black Wednesday Betrayal- and...sorry Rich, but Eric can be kind of a douche sometimes. But playing devil's advocate for a moment, he is pretty justified in that; he is the son of the owner of SWF after all, and it helps that he does back up the talk with some good in ring ability. That, and because of his personality; he's a natural heel. Nobody likes him. Nobody. I've actually considered giving him a new gimmick to capitalize on the divided state of our country, I think if all goes well; it will do dime-busters for us and extend his career a few years.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 39</p><p>

Finishers: Big Money Move, (Flying Shoulder Tackle) Brandon Bomb Drop (Sit-Out Powerbomb)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Another former DAVE star, easily the biggest star in the company's history. People i've talked to have always asked me what would happen if me and Brandon ever faced off into a match. Lord knows what would happen, i've got the size advantage; but Brandon? He's a hell of a brawler and can hold his own against the best of them. For some reason, he's actually even better with a female leading the charge; first Emma with the Chase Agency, and now with Krissy Angelle. Maybe it's because despite his stature, he looks like he could be James Bond, I don't know. I would love to push him, but with him on the wrong side of 30, that may not be the wisest decision.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 42</p><p>

Finisher: Tombstone Piledriver</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: If Angry Gilmore is the most professional wrestler i've worked with, Chris has to be number two. He worked the Lobster Warrior gimmick for so damn many years, it's a miracle he didn't turn into a lobster himself! The reason he stayed this way was because, and i'm quoting him here; 'He loves superhero comics and he loves kids, ergo; why not make a superhero for kids?' He ditched the gimmick last year when he turned on Jack Bruce and piledrived him through an chair. He's been pushed rather hard ever since, and honestly; it's about time. He's 42 now, ain't getting any younger; maybe he ends up being a transitional champion, but I could also see him mentoring someone lower down the card.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Upper Midcard: Those on the cusp of greatness.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Face</p><p>

Age: 33</p><p>

Finishers: Empire Spiral, (Back Suplex into a Spike Slam) Minnesota Salute (Flying Forearm from the Top Rope)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: I've heard and seen Joey's work in TCW, and let me tell you; if he is not world champion by 2018, I will return to the ring and job to every last wrestler in this roster. Mark my words. This guy may easily be the best worker we have right now next to Angry Gilmore, The Crippler and Jungle Jack, which is ironic seeing as he was one of the top stars of TCW. The one flaw that might hinder his rise to the top? He's got possibly the shortest temper i've seen in a while, one small thing wrong, he'll foam off his mouth and go a rantin' away. Other than that, this man is going to be a world champ or I end up losing to Jimmy Hernandez.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 42</p><p>

Finisher: Romeo is Bleeding (Seated Face Plant)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Freddy is a weird case for us, he started out in a tag team with Pecs, broke up with him when they started becoming jobbers, had an incestial relationship with Ana Garcia, (which thankfully was scrapped after two weeks) then became the walking, talking stereotype of homosexuals and now a flamboyant ladiesman. I've always thought he could be a world champion if giving the right booking, but i'm worried that the ship might have sailed on that.</p><p> </p><p>

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6bsoyT86LE" rel="external nofollow">Jungle Lord</a></p><p>

Alignment: Face</p><p>

Age: 40</p><p>

Finisher: Jungle Jackhammer (Northern Lights Bomb, you would think it would be a Jackhammer; but no. It isn't)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Jack Marlowe and Jungle Lord are completely different people, just so you know. Jack is one of the most respected wrestlers in the history of this sport, and it goes well-deserved; a strong brawler with underrated technical ability and some of the best basic ability we've got in the company, it's a wonder we never signed him until 2009. My plans for him are either to turn him heel in the future or have him go on a big push to cement him as a main eventer, either way; I think it's time for his hard work to pay off.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 37</p><p>

Finisher: High Society (Swinging Neckbreaker)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: The business is in Paul's blood, his blue blood. (Chuckles) Ok, so that needs a little work...In all seriousness, Paul's got a passion for this business and it shows; he's no master in the ring, but he's proven to be a great backbone and foil for main eventers. Expect him to continue his feud with Joey Morgan and hopefully in the future have a feud with someone higher up the card.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Age: 32</p><p>

Finisher: Bumfhole in One (Frog Splash)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: A question I get a lot is whether or not Zimmy and Randy will ever breakup, as much as I would love to turn one of them heel; they are perhaps the best tag team we've got on the roster right now. That being said, if I were to ever turn one of them; Zimmy could easily fit that bill. He's a fantastic worker and great on the mic, he's also got a good star quality that oozes out of him. Another question i've been asked dozens of time is whether or not Zimmy Bumfhole is a marketable name. I think it could be, but what do you think?</p><p> </p><p>

Age: 43</p><p>

Finisher: One Night Stand (Swinging Neckbreaker)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Any chance this guy had a shot of reaching the main event died the day he injured Des Davids, it was on life support after his tepid babyface run fell flat; but after what happened with poor Des, (who will be pushed heavily among his return) he's been stuck in the doghouse. And it's a shame, he's a great mic worker and would have made for a fantastic manager if given the chance, but i'm looking to build the future and personally; I can't see Joe lasting much longer in the company. At best, he has like three or four years left; at worst? He's gone by the end of 2016.</p><p> </p><p>

Age: 35</p><p>

Finishers: V-Split, (Swinging Sidewalk Slam) Patriot Missle (Three Point Stance)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: You would think with the star quality, charisma and in ring ability that i'd be all over Valiant as a main event player. But i'm not, and here's why; Valiant doesn't seem to have a second dimension to his character. He's either smiling, happy go lucky and smart or he's not, and that's a big problem if he's ever going to be taken seriously as a main eventer. You don't even need to turn him heel, just give him a darker, edgier side to him and all will be well.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 41</p><p>

Finisher: Stain Removal (Pancake Facebuster)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Squeeky is on the same boat as Freddy's, but he's in a better path. He's a company man who's had virtually the same gimmick since he first debuted, he's got some of the best basics in the entire company, he can work almost any type of match you want, there's a lot to like about him. He's not going to be a world champion, but he's going to be giving wrestlers headaches for a long time to come.</p><p> </p><p>

Midcard: The ones who are looking rise or have seen their ship sail by.</p><p>

Alignment: Face</p><p>

Age: 32</p><p>

Finisher: Mushroom Cloud (Inverted Russian Legsweep)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: The last remnants of the cartoony side of SWF can be found with this guy here, Captain Atomic is an energetic son of a gun. Maybe a little too energetic sometimes. If I could ever make out what the hell he's saying, he'd be a multi-time world champ by now; but really, just lose the gimmick and he'll be all the way to the top. He's got the ability to do it, so why not?</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 36</p><p>

Finisher: Prudential Pain Plan (Stump Puller)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: James is one of these people that got his popularity from the indy scene and is trying to find his footing in SWF. He's been doing well for himself, he's got a solid tag team with F.A...i'd better stop there or everyone will accuse me of being a homophobe. Basically Freddy and James are a solid tag team for us and you should expect the two to stay together for a while or until I can find something for F.A- God damn it, I did it again. </p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Face</p><p>

Age: 29</p><p>

Finisher: Sytching Side Kick</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Another one of these guys that got popular back down in the indy scene and signed with the SWF, expect more talented and with the potential to get big. Really big. He may be a little bland on the mic, but that's something that can easily be improved on. And hey, it's not like you need to be extremely charismatic to be champion; look at me for instance. I hope to push this guy hard...but i'm worried that when it comes time to sign a extension that he'll leave because of his rather 'traditional' opinions on wrestling. But i'm not too worried yet.</p><p> </p><p>

Finishers: Ego Trip, (Fireman's Carry Slam) Big Smack Shuffle, (Elbow Drop with a dumbass shuffle afterwards) Allegedly, A Shooting Star Press named the Smacker Star Press...let's hope to god that it's not true.</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: I'm...divided with him. Yes, he is an asshole; but he IS a useful asshole. He's does have some good mic skills and is a natural at being the heel; he's got the Eric Eisen factor being that no matter what he does, everyone will be screaming for his blood. At the same time, he's had serious issues with steroids, been arrested multiple times due to some really messed up reasons and of course; he's an asshole! I'm going to be lenient towards for now...but if he does anything stupid, i'll be eating his head for dinner.</p><p> </p><p>

Age: 31</p><p>

Finisher: Bumfhole Buster (Fireman's Carry Whiplash Slam)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Back in 2007, I made a joke about their first heel turn saying that if the day ever came The Bumfholes ever broke up that we could call Randy, 'The Buck'. He'd be this really cocky jock dude who could back up the talk in the ring. The fact that this idea could actually become a real thing is scary as hell; but i'd be willing to do it. He is the better in-ring worker than Zimmy, but also the worse mic worker; which might be an issue. Regardless, if I do pull the plug on the Bumfholes; I could see him being a great heel.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Heel</p><p>

Age: 36</p><p>

Finisher: Crash Diet (Fireman's Carry Kick To Gut)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: He exists. That's really much I can say. Honestly, I never really got the hype for this guy; he's not impressive in the ring, his character is basically a more satantic version of Skull DeBones, really the only reason he's stuck around for this long is his charisma. He had a rather mundane title run with Joe Sexy, but really; what has he done to cement his respect in the business? I'll keep him around, but only in the midcard.</p><p> </p><p>

Alignment: Face</p><p>

Age: 30</p><p>

Finishers: Murder on the Dancefloor, (Lifting Spinebuster Pin) Disco Ball (Discus Clothesline)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Robbie's on the same boat as John, but at least he's young. And to his credit, his North American title reign was surprisingly a lot of fun; certainly beats what Squeeky McClean was doing at the time. Go to JTTS, beat around on the lowercard; beat the occasional higher up the card every now and then, but ultimately job to midcarders higher up the totem pole or the main eventers. </p><p> </p><p>

Finisher: Switchblade Powerslam</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Bleugh. This guy. I don't know about you, but personally; Phil's got a great eye for talent, (Brandon, Jack, Eddie and even Chris were great for DAVE) but his finance managing is just shocking. Kurt however? I don't see what Phil liked about this guy, is it because he's willing to be hardcore? Is it the fact he's a take no prisoners brawler? What is it about him that should make me feel scared for him? I have a grave feeling that Kurt may not be around that much longer. Yes folks, Scott may actally stick around longer than Kurt; sound the trumpets. </p><p> </p><p>

Finisher: Old Glory (Gorilla Press Slam)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Dean, I respect him for his hard work; but man, he's stuck in the 80s. And it shows in his in-ring work, he looks a freaking ox in the ring; but wrestles like a clumsy bear. I don't really see what else he can do for the SWF, we could reunite the All-Americans; but it sounds too easy. Turn him heel? Too obvious. It's likely he ends up jobbing to newer talent for the rest of his time here in the SWF.</p><p> </p><p>

Age: 28</p><p>

Finisher: Stage Dive (Top Rope Elbow Drop)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Jack put a good word on him for me, and I can see why. The kid looks great, he's got a good base for a midcarder and he's got the teen girl demographic down. (During a house show, there was one girl with a really short little miniskirt that barely covered her waist; she told me she dressed up like this for Jefferson Stardust. Cutest thing I heard all day) I don't know if he's going to be the next Jack Bruce, but he's got potential and i'll be using that to his advantage.</p><p> </p><p>

Age: 30</p><p>

Finisher: Cannonball Run (Corner Double Knee Strike)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: A slightly weaker version of Jefferson, he worked his ass off back in MAW to make himself better; and it shows. He knows what he's doing, and he makes it work. He's also got a pretty decent following with teenage girls (Another funny story from back in 2013; Huey actually set up a dating system for single teens and ladies in their early to mid twenties. Needless to say, it only lasted for about three days at best, but it was the funniest three days of my life seeing the poor guy squirm around trying to get all his shit together) </p><p> </p><p>

Lower Midcard: Those who are fighting for relevancy.</p><p>

Finisher: B-B Gun (Tornado DDT)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: It's been a good run for him, but he's on his last legs; both literally and figuratively. To put it bluntly; he can't go anymore. And with his brother leaving the company two years ago for TCW; he doesn't really have much of a place in SWF anymore. He's probably either going to be released or jobbed for the rest of his career.</p><p> </p><p>

Finisher: Mountain Mover (Crucifix Powerbomb)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: And there's my first order as booker of SWF. Peter, I respect you as a man and a booker; but what in God's name were you thinking signing this oaf? He can't wrestle for shit, he's terrible on the mic and he's an even bigger asshole than Scott. Swear to god, watch a match with him in it; it's like watching a schoolgirl trying to wrestle someone because they wedgied her or something. He should never have been hired in the first place, and i'm going to rectify that. I've already told him to pack his bags and head back to Japan where he belongs. In short: This guy is done here and can go screw himself, maybe eat a couple of Twinkies along the way.</p><p> </p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Jimmy's a good kid, he's earned the respect of the locker room pretty quickly; probably because of his reputation as a indy legend, but it doesn't change the fact that he is a damn good worker and really funny on the mic. He's not mainstream anymore, but he's going to be a great member of the company for years to come.</p><p> </p><p>

Finisher: Hollywood Hammer (Legdrop Bulldog)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: I'm excited for this kid, he's the son of Micky Starr; former SWF world champ, and already good at such a young age. Especially on the mic, he's got a natural sense of getting the audience to boo their lungs out of you; and it's great. My one real concern is that maybe, just maybe; he's playing the gimmick a little TOO good. Regardless, Bret's going to be huge for the company and i'm looking forward to working with him.</p><p> </p><p>

Finisher: Crackdown (Sidewalk Slam)</p><p>

Barry's Thoughts: Marshall is one guy who I have no confidence in resigning; not because he's a bad worker, he's not. But it's because the dude is quite conservative in how he acts and does things, (His parents grew up pretty conservative, which hey; I can relate with. I'm a Republican myself, voting for Kasich.) which is fine. But at some point, you have to make a decision on whether or not to put aside your values for the company...and I can't see that happening unfortunately.</p><p> </p><p>

1. The callup of Spencer Spade and Kristen Pearce, they've been waiting years for the day they got promoted and now it's time to finally deliver. This decision has been made to compensate for the firing of Everest.</p><p> </p><p>

2. I have contacted the following people to join either the developmental company RIPW or SWF, Nelson Callum, Zachary Inc (Who will be getting a name change to Zach Hart) Joffy Laine, Justice Jolson and The Architect.</p><p> </p><p>

That's all for now; i'll be seeing you at SWF Supreme TV.</p><p> </p><p>

<div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Barry's Log</strong></p></div><p></p><p>

<strong>January 2nd, 2016</strong></p><p> </p><p>

This is it; first show under the eye of the Runaway Train. Exciting day for me and the boys; Now as you know here in the SWF, we like to give back to the fans; that's why Richard has decided to introduce something new. Every month there will be a prediction contest that leads up to the entire month. The more things you get right, the more points you earn. The top three point earners at the end of the month get one the following prizes.</p><p> </p><p>

1st: The person in question gets to help book a feud for a currently undefined superstar. Any star that doesn't already have a feud is eligible, so place your bets as to who this person may be.</p><p> </p><p>

2nd: This person gets to book a SWF North American title match of their choosing for the first show of February. Everyone is eligible, but choose wisely.</p><p> </p><p>

3rd: Rounding out the three, this person gets to choose from a list of wrestlers that I should bring to RIPW for a little seasoning. As a request, I highly suggest not choosing anyone who's style is 'Psychopath'; if Ol' Rich found out I was trying to attempt murder on his stars, he'd send me packing before my booking career got started.</p><p> </p><p>

Locker Room Incidents: Phillip's a legend amongst the people in the back, and there's a good reason for that. He's a strong yet fair-weathered guy who's not afraid to be stern whenever possible; he proved that to us tonight when BJ O'Neill was revealed to have been an hour late to pick up Dean. Which is ironic seeing as he didn't even have a match tonight, regardless; Phillip gave the ruling to force her to pay for all of his meals for the next three shows. If there's one thing Dean loves, it's a big ol' juicy steak; so good on him. He can go to all the juicy steakhouses he wants for the next three shows.</p><p> </p><p>

The winner would face then world champion Angry Gilmore in a title match at Times of Trouble. For a while it looked as if Brandon James would end up being the one to face him for the title; but in a shocking turn of events, Lobster Warrior came from behind and shocked him with a Lobster Trap (Fisherman’s Suplex) and managed to pin him for the one, two three.</p><p> </p><p> Lobster Warrior and Angry Gilmore would engage in a friendly rivalry; teaming together to face off against Brandon James and Rogue the next week. They would win, but only by disqualification. The day of the PPV came, Angry Gilmore vs Lobster Warrior; a moment no one ever thought would happen.</p><p> </p><p> In what would be considered one of the best matches in SWF that year, Gilmore and Lobby fought in a closely contested bout that saw it go either way. The main turning point being when Lobby got Gilmore into his Lobster Trap and come within 9/10ths of a second from winning the world title. In the end, Angry Gilmore would persevere; pinning Lobby after an Anger Management. (His third of the night)</p><p> </p><p> In an act of sportsmanship, Gilmore exchanged his hand in respect of the undersea hero’s heart. But to his surprise, Lobby didn’t return the favor. In fact, he did something he’d never see before…</p><p> </p><p> He walked away, sulking and clearly disappointed in himself.</p><p> </p><p> Concerned for their friend, Gilmore and Bruce went on a search mission to find Lobby. They searched every place imaginable, but had no luck until they saw him at the beach. However, something was different about him...for the first time in his career, The Lobster Warrior was shown without his trademark mask or gear. He sat, solemn and with no feeling in his body. When Bruce explained that Gilmore needed backup for his world title match with Rogue, Lobby reluctantly volunteered to help him.</p><p> </p><p> And like that, Lobby was back in the SWF; but not without the same enthusiasm he once had. But what could he do? The match was official. Angry Gilmore vs Rogue was to be for the world title at the Supreme Challenge...Or was it?</p><p> </p><p> In the penultimate episode before the Supreme Challenge, Lobby revealed that he had personally asked Richard Eisen to add him to the world title match. He agreed, but on one condition; he had to beat one man to earn that spot. That man was Jack Bruce.</p><p> </p><p> The two faced off in a hotly contested battle, the fans split on who they wanted to see win. (Though a majority eventually came to Jack’s side) But just like last time, Lobby came so close yet still so far to his dream of becoming world champion. Jack would seal his fate after the Lobster Trap failed to connect and reversed into his patented New York Minute. Soon came the cover, then the win and thus killing Lobby’s dream once again.</p><p> </p><p> He looked on, devastated that he would not be going the Supreme Challenge as a part of the world title match. Jack tried to get him to shake his hand, but he didn’t. Instead, he shoved him away and stormed off. Ana tried desperately to get an interview with him, but he refused to talk; claiming he was ‘sick of coming so close’ and declaring a ‘change needed to be made’.</p><p> </p><p> He would not show up to the Supreme Challenge.</p><p> </p><p> Or the show after that.</p><p> </p><p> On August 2015, Welcome to the Jungle; Jack Bruce faced off against Rogue to determine the next number one contender for the World Title. To the dismay of the fans and himself, Rogue would win the day after surprising him with his Crashing On. But Rogue wasn’t done yet, he continued to beat down on the defenseless face of SWF until…</p><p> </p><p> The cheers came from all across the arena, was it really him? It was! Lobster Warrior rushed down to the ring with a purpose and chased Rogue out of the ring. He turned to his fallen friend and partner, helping him up…</p><p> </p><p> <strong>And then socking him with a punch.</strong></p><p> </p><p> There, he continued to mercilessly beat on Jack until he was defenseless, shocking every last member of the audience at their once-hero’s actions. Then he got out of the ring and grabbed from near the announcer’s table a chair. He entered the ring, scooped Jack upside down and planted him with a Tombstone on the chair.</p><p> </p><p> The next week, Chris explained that he realized that losing to Gilmore and Bruce made him realize that being the guy that always saved the day kept him from what he came to SWF for; the world championship, blaming everyone for causing this. So while Gilmore was busy facing off against Rogue and Bruce faced off against Remo, he was at home waiting for the appropriate time to show himself. Welcome to the Jungle happened to be the opportune time for that.</p><p> </p><p> He showed the crowd his former Lobster Warrior attire; mask, claws and all; and called it his ‘kryptonite’, he then got out a lighter and declared that Lobby was dead. The Crippler would live forever...and just like that, he set his gear on fire. And along with that, burned the memories, moments and goodwill the Lobster Warrior once had.</p><p> </p><p> It sparked the end of an era in SWF, the end of the crustacean superhero, the end of the cartoons and games and most importantly, it sparked the beginning of the reign of terror that the Crippler would go on to have the months afterward; for all intensive purposes…</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Lobster Warrior was no more.</strong></p><p> </p><p> Rating: 82 (B)</p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>A Funky Situation</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43718" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>After the video ended, the slow and methodological stylings of Blues Saraceno blared out; drawing boos from the entire crowd.

He wants ME to face him...in a no disqualification match at When Hell Freezes Over. (The crowd pops at the idea of this stipulation, The Crippler laughs heartily) Who does this dumbass think he is? If he had any guts inside him, he’d go back to New York and sing those cheesy 90s rock and roll songs. (The Crippler shakes his head in disgust) Oh wait, I just realized. He won’t be able to. Because by the time i’m done with him, his vocal chords will have been ripped out from his throat. (The crowd grows louder) Don’t boo me, boo yourself. If you really loved him, then you would have done the right thing and support ME and launched me onto the world title. (The crowd grows even louder) But you didn’t...you never did. You only liked me for my antics. My character. My ‘Underwater Union’.</p><p> </p><p> The crowd is incensed and looking for blood as The Crippler continues to speak.</p><p> </p><p> The Crippler: But that day has long passed. I’m only looking out for one person, and one person only...myself. Be prepared Jack, because i’m The Crippler…and I break people. (He smiles, wickedly as the crowd, the SWF Nation as you may call them begs for someone to interrupt him, even chanting for Bruce come out and wring his neck open.)</p><p> </p><p> <em>Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk</em></p><p><em> I'm a woman's man: no time to talk</em></p><p> </p><p> The crowd pops, if only slightly for the arrival of Robbie Retro. Robbie may not be as heavily pushed as Jack Bruce or as charismatic as him, but he’s heard a reputation in SWF in his own right for being a loved talented in his own right.</p><p> </p><p> He shuffles down the Supreme Gateway, microphone in his hand; wearing his standard red glasses, and 70s-inspired attire, complete with the afro. Robbie looks at the Crippler and shakes his head laughing.</p><p> </p><p> The Crippler stands, unimpressed that someone would dare try to interfere in his business.</p><p> </p><p> Robbie Retro: Cripples, duuuude.

Everyone loved you! Even the kids!...Now you’re just the buzzkill of the party. (The crowd pops, taking Robbie’s side, he acts baffled by the whole ordeal) Did...did being a superhero crustacean turn you into one yourself? (The Crippler mouths off at Robbie for trying to mention his past) Now don’t be tripping man, i’m tryin’ to be as serious as possible. If being a crab was going to turn you into a crabass yourself-</p><p> </p><p> The Crippler: (Angry) I WAS A LOBSTER YOU DUMBASS!

So you’re NOT a crab-ass! A’ight...I understand man. (He enters the ring and gets up in The Crippler’s face) You ain’t a crab-ass my friend. (Robbie smirks) You’re a lobster-ass.</p><p> </p><p> The crowd laughs at Robbie’s declaration as The Crippler starts to lose his cool, it’s clear that he does not take kindly to people mentioning his time as Lobster Warrior.</p><p> </p><p> The Crippler: (Shouting, pointing at the audience) SHUT UP! SHUT THE (BLEEP) UP! (The Crippler walks around the ring, his once calm and collected demeanor completely vanished)</p><p> </p><p> Robbie has to laugh at himself, knowing he just angered the veteran wrestler; that’s not what he minds about though as it’s clear he’s just here for the fun of seeing him rage about.</p><p> </p><p> Robbie Retro: I’mma wait till you chill out bro. Don’t worry!</p><p> </p><p> But The Crippler will not ‘chill out’, if anything he got angrier. He clenched the microphone tightly and got up close with Robbie.</p><p> </p><p> The Crippler: You know something. I’ve been looking for someone to tune me up for my match against Jack, a little warm-up match so to say! And I think I may have found the perfect person to take me on. (Beat, then pointing at Robbie menacingly) You. (Robbie looks dumbfounded and questions the audience)</p><p> </p><p> Robbie Retro: Now-now-now-now hold on Cripples. Do me a solid and tell me that i’m wrong, but did I just hear y’all wanted to fight me? (The Crippler nods and proceeds to curse out Robbie, we don’t actually hear what he says, but you can tell he’s cursing up a storm) I think that can be arranged, that if; the 12,000 cool cats out there in Tennessee want to see it! (The crowd cheers, wanting to see this match. He smiles) The verdict is in! Survey says: Me versus you...That’s faaaar out! But just as a personal thought from me to you…(He coaxes The Crippler to come closer to him, he hesitates but does so anyway) You’re gonna get funked. </p><p> </p><p> The Crippler lunges after Robbie, but he dodges away and heads out of the ring, smiling and looking at The Crippler; incensed and ready to take out the ‘Diablo of Disco’.</p><p> </p><p> Rating: 66 (C+)</p><p> </p><p> Barry’s Thoughts: The crowd seemed a little disappointed that it was Robbie and not Jack that came out to interrupt The Crippler.

One point, he picks Joey up, throws him high up in the air and then slaps his back hard with his right hand.<p> </p><p> <strong>DOMINATION DOES NOT COME EASY:</strong> With that said, Bear’s nature does come with it’s disadvantages, as he ends up getting way too aggressive and it costs him as he puts Joey near a corner and fails the time a corner avalanche correctly; giving Joey enough time to recover and have Bear hit the ring corner, dazing him and leaving him open for a move.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>BUSTING THE BRAIN:</strong> It’s Joey’s turn to showcase what he can do in the ring and he impresses the audience by lifting Bear up and over his head and leaving him upside down for the better part of eight seconds then dropping him down violently on his skull. He’s no Remo, but Joey has some strength under those muscles.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>THE BEAR BITES BACK:</strong> Late into the match, Bear seems to have recovered and even taken back control of the match; if only just for a little while.

Naturally, Angry is not pleased with this and takes him down a notch.<p> </p><p> <strong>AN EARLY ANGER MANAGEMENT:</strong> Not long in, Angry already has Freddy set up for Anger Management; but Freddy, knowing maybe a little more than he did a few moments ago is able to reverse into a small package.

But then, he gets a crazed look in his eyes; kipping right back up on his feet. He leaps up the top rope, pointing high up to the sky and jumping down with his elbow launched down on Freddie’s stomach. Angry goes for the cover, 1...2...No! Angry almost put him away, but Freddie still has some fight left in him.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>WHERE’S THE HONOR IN THAT?:</strong> Even so, it’s too little, too late for Freddie as Angry manages to get him set up for Anger Management...But wait a minute!

OOC: So as you can guess, I did not use pictures this time around. Why? Blame it on the blame. I was actually close to getting a Photobucket account until I got to my zipcode and blanked out.</p><p> </p><p>

Hopefully, I can rectify this problem as soon as possible. Until then, no pics.</p><p> </p><p>

Another thing to note: Yeah, I sorta emulated a weird foster child of Eisenverse and Uncrewed's styles. I think both styles of writing are absolutely fantastic ways for writing diaries and should be looked at carefully for a good example as to how to write a diary.</p><p> </p><p>

Yes, Ana the 'diva' is now a thing...This was one of those moments where I just said, "Ah, what the hell?" And rolled with it. And considering how much fun I had writing it, you might be seeing this Ana a lot more often than not. Maybe even to the point where someone MIGHT get involved. (Because really, what else would they be doing around that time?)</p><p> </p><p>

Ok, until next time The Runaway Train has officially left the station.</p>

I don't follow any CVerse diaries as a rule of them (having only a passing familiarity with default database in '13 and '16), but I checked this out on a whim after seeing your post in the "What's happening in my game" thread. Boy, am I glad I did! This was an awesome first show I thought. For someone like me especially, who doesn't really dwell too much in the CVerse, this was a great introduction to the characters. I can't even imagine the planning you put into this or the time it took to write. Nice job. I'll def. be keeping an eye on this.

<p></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Barry's Log:</strong></p><p>

January 4th, 2016</p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p>

So uh...about The Architect...</p><p> </p><p>

He's not coming. At least, not yet. Let me explain.</p><p> </p><p>

So, Rip Chord and I; we had the deal all planned out. He would go to RIPW for a couple of months, get a taste on how SWF works, then come up to the main roster and do his thing there. I was planning on continuing the wrestler in denial gimmick he had been doing in MAW. (He thinks he is the 'greatest technical athlete in a generation') It would have been great, world championship material? Not exactly, but worth at least a few North American title runs...</p><p> </p><p>

Then all of a sudden, Rip calls me on the day he was supposed to sign the contract and tells me that he got 'cold feet' and needed 'more time' in RIPW. You can tell he was pretty embarassed by the whole situation and kept apologizing profusely. I told him to don't worry about it and that we would try again in a few months.</p><p> </p><p>

In short; The Architect's a driven kid and all, but it's clear he loves MAW and wants to finish up some unfinished business over there before moving on. And I respect his decision. To make up for this loss, i've contacted Canadian indy scene legend and noted backstage cancer Gram Gorman to join RIPW. Let's hope the horror stories of him are not true. (Though, noting others before him; they probably are)</p><p> </p><p>

We've also been getting into a little bidding war for Nelson Callum who (despite what others may say) is bar none the best wrestler that has yet to play for the big boys. Why he hasn't been signed by either us, USPW or TCW yet is a mystery even to me. If he gets in our roster, I will be a very happy man.</p><p> </p><p>

Squeeky hasn't got a match for When Hell Freezes Over yet. Who shall volunteer for this role?

Answer: Vengeance or whatever his name is now :confused:

 

--Sorry if these are way off...as I said earlier, the CVerse isn't my strong suit. Just going along for the ride. :cool:

 

Vengeance became Skull DeBones again after some time. I'm going to guess by 2015.

 

Don't worry about being accurate, like you said; have fun with the ride.

 

Hoping to have the show up by tomorrow at earliest, so any last minute predictions are welcome!

Scratch what I just said, the show's coming up...right...NOW.

 

SWF Supreme TV, January 2016, Week Two

Attendance: 11,605

Location: Oregon Gardens, Oregon

Commentary Team: Duane Fry and Emma Chase

 

Pre-Show:

In a pre-show bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Jungle Lord defeated Spencer Spade in 12:13 by pinfall with a Jungle Jack-Jammer. It was said that there was a lack of chemistry between the two workers.

Rating: 58 (C-)

 

In a poor pre-show match, Sammy Smoke and Justin Sensitive defeated Marshall Dillon and Oliver Kobb in 10:05 when Sammy Smoke defeated Oliver Kobb by pinfall with an Ace In The Hole. Kristen Pearce did some good work ringside playing up her ‘bitch’ character that she will debut once she enters the SWF.

Rating: 60 ©

Main Show:

 

Duane Fry: In just forty eight hours, the landscape of the SWF will change once more as we will crown a new number one contender for the SWF World Heavyweight title. Welcome everyone to the Oregon Gardens for another edition SWF Supreme TV; i’m Duane Fry and alongside with me is Emma Chase! How are you Emma?

 

Emma Chase: Pretty good actually, i’ve talked with my attorney and he’s told me that i’m finally getting that restraining order taken care of.

 

Duane Fry: Well it should be made clear to all the fans that it is not ok to stalk any wrestler no matter how much you-

 

Emma Chase: (interrupting) No Duane. I mean a restraining order from you.

 

Duane Fry: Well that’s a shame, because coming up tonight; we have a barnstormer of a main event for you! Tonight, Angry Gilmore and Joey Morgan will go up against Brandon James and Paul Huntington in a tag team match. We’ve also got word that Jack Bruce is here and will be speaking to the SWF Nation tonight. As you may recall, last week; we got confirmed reports that Jack Bruce was cleared for When Hell Freezes Over-

 

Thunder, thunder, thunder, thunder...

 

Duane Fry: And we might not have to wait long to hear from him!

 

The Jack Comeback Tour of 2016

Sure enough, out comes the face of SWF himself; Jack Bruce from the railway much to the adoration of the over 11,000 strong in Oregon. He shuffles down the ring with a hint of coolness to it, even though The Crippler took him to physical therapy back in August 2015; it seems like it never actually happened at all judging by how he acts.

 

He enters the ring, the soundings of AD/DC fading away as Jack soaks in the adoration of the SWF nation. They’ve missed him dearly and it shows here. He picks up a microphone and...well...like the good man says. Let the magic begin.

 

Jack Bruce: OR-E-GON! (The crowd goes berserk!) ARE YOU READY TO ROCK, WITH THE ROCK AND ROLLAH?! (The SWF Nation screams with approval, hearing this statement for the first time in months, Bruce smirks -like he always does- like a charming rogue) God damn it, it feels SO good to say that again! (The crowd agrees with this sentiment) Thank you, thank you. (The crowd continues to applaud Jack, much to his amusement) A’ight, settle down everyone. It’s time for ol’ Jacky boy here to be serious for a moment. (The crowd obliges to Jack’s request, the mood changes for Jack; gone is the cocky, rock and rollin’ player. In it’s place is a revitalized, vengeful and confident man)

 

Jack Bruce: These last few months, haven’t been the best for me. I’ve had my share of troubles recently, what with The Crippler (hesitates, muttering to himself) damn, it’s so weird to have to call him that now. (back to seriousness) As I was saying, what with The Crippler basically doing so much damage to me I had to be dragged over to California to do some physical therapy so I could get my head on straight…And last week, after struggle after struggle, trial and tribulation, coming in like a wreckin’ ball, hitting so hard in love, breakin’ walls, chewin’ stones, doing ALL the things I needed to do to come back stronger than ever. (A drawn out pause, puts his mic up closer to his mouth in a sing-song voice) I’m ba-ack. (The crowd goes bananas for this statement, Jack gets fired up; because he knows what comes next) And now that the sheriff’s back in town, there’s going to be a few changes made around here. (Clears his throat) First, i’m going to finally do what i’ve always wanted to do. (Long anticipation as Jack looks serious...then he lightens up) Grow a god damned beard. (The crowd chuckles at this little joke, he goes back to serious again) THEN, I’ll do something i’ve been holding back on..(Lightens up once again) Flirting with the ladies in the back. (The crowd laughs again as Jack purrs flirtatiously) Say Emma... (pointing at Emma at the commentary table) You miss me? (Emma rolls her eyes, it’s clear she has not, he chuckles it off) Guess not! (Back to serious once again) And last but damn sure not least…And i’m sure you’ve been waiting for this. The last thing i’m going to do...is tear the scrawny head of The Crippler off his neck.

 

The crowd is ready to see blood and violence; they don’t care if they have to wait until When Hell Freezes Over, the way Jack talks about this match; it’s like they’ve been fighting for years.

 

Jack Bruce: Y’see what you don’t understand Chris, is that you may be able to break bones; but you can’t break a man’s spirit. (Shakes his head) You aren’t the first person i’ve had problems with and you sure as hell aren’t gonna be the last. Remember Vengeance? Remember that Three Stages of Hell match we had? (Pause) That was fun! And remember when Eric decided to make me a ‘Man Under Pressure’ and have random people attack me under his command? (Pause) That rocked too! Hell, let’s lump in the first time I ever won the SWF title in Runaway Train. Remember that? (Pause) THAT was the moment that made me who I am today, the rock and rollin’, high flyin’, wheel ridin’, girl lovin’, picture takin’, ass-whoopin’ son of a bitch I am today! (Jack nods, he’s officially in that zone of his) And come When Hell Freezes Over, i’ll be starting my comeback tour. Because When Hell Freezes Over...JACK...IS-

 

He always runs, while others walk…

 

The crowd boos in disgust as someone has dared interrupt Jack Bruce while he was in ‘the zone’. Jack Bruce looks at who it is that has interrupted him and laughs.

 

Sure enough, Bret Starr; the arrogant little weasel he is walks coolly to the ramp-way; the velvet pipes of Tom Jones leading the way as he carries his own microphone with him. Jack is absolutely loving this, laughing away as Bret looks at him with a purpose.

 

Jack Bruce: Oh, oh man! (trying to hold in his laughter) This is...you gotta excuse me for a moment there. This is priceless! (Wiping away a fake tear in his eye, with a hint of sarcasm) Yeah, i’m pretty sure Tom Jones is REAL happy that you disgrace his name every time you use that song of his. Yeah, you know; that song in which he pimps up that one dude named James Bond; saying that he runs while others walk, (WHAT?) acts while others talk, (WHAT?) knows the meaning of success, (WHAT?) takes any woman he’ll get, (WHAT?) breaks hearts with no regret, (WHAT?) thinks the fight is worth it all, (WHAT?) So then he strikes. (Pauses, getting himself positioned...and starts to sing to the delight of the audience) Like thun...der…(takes a comically deep breath) BALL! (Sings this last part for quite a long time, before losing steam and stopping it there)

 

He breathes deeply, having taken a lot of energy to muster up that last long note. But he does have one last word for Bret, who does not seem impressed by the whole endeavor.

 

Jack Bruce: (quieter) Y’know...that last note Tom belted out, it made him pass out. (Pause) I think it perfectly symbolizes your career.

 

Bret can only smile, arrogantly and finally gets his first words in.

 

Bret Starr: You’re very funny Jack, you really are. But as you know, we have a match tonight. Think of it as, your welcome back to SWF. Oh wait! It’s not just your welcome back. (Pause, smugly) It’s also the beginning of your farewell tour for what The Crippler is going to do to you at When Hell Freezes Over. It’s going to make him (pauses dramatically) a star. (Jack Bruce shakes his head, amused that he still does not get it)

 

Jack Bruce: Well, if it’s really going to be my farewell; then let’s at least head on out with a bang. Oregon, the moment you’ve been waiting for has arrived. Because tonight...JACK, IS, BACK!

 

Jack puts down his microphone and started to goad Bret into getting a fight started right now, something the fans have been wanting to see for awhile now. But Bret, being the coward he is laughs it off and walks backstage leaving only Jack to taunt for the camera.

 

Rating: 80 (B)

Barry’s Thoughts: Having worked with Jack for so long, I know the guy’s character inside out. I know how he looks, how he talks, walks, that sort of stuff. Putting all of this together for him, the crowd ate this up like they always do for Jack. But Bret has nothing to be ashamed of either, he’s got some good mic skills for a kid his age and i’m truly looking forward to making him a main event star sometime in the future.

Duane Fry: Jack and Bret going one on one tonight, the official start of the ‘Jack Comeback Tour of 2016’

 

Emma Chase: (Embarrassed) Maybe I should have put a restraining order on him.

 

Duane Fry: What is it with you and restraining orders?

 

Emma Chase: They help me keep my sanity.

 

Match 1: Valiant vs John Greed

HONOR < GREED: As is the case for all of his matches, Valiant goes in with a focused mind and a clear path. He tries for a more technical style than usual, clearing saving the most of his aggression for When Hell Freezes Over; but John is as crafty as his mantra and seems to find a way to slip out of every move.

 

DEVILED JAW: John quickly takes control of the match early on, wearing him down with a strong, rough style that puts Valiant on the ropes in many occasions. One such example is his kneeling jawbreaker, in which he grabs Valiant and underhooks the arm, then dropping to his knees and thus causing his victim’s chin to feel the impact of his shoulders.

 

FIGHT BACK: Thanks to his girlfriend Hannah’s encouragement and the spirit of the SWF Nation however, Valiant manages to fight his way back in favor of the match with a few rather impressive power moves of his own; though none seriously threaten to end John’s night early.

 

ROCKET’S RED GLARE: The moment the match completely changes into Valiant’s favor is when John gets thrown into an irish whip and tries to recover with a fallaway slam only to instead be hit with a spear by Valiant.

 

TIME TO SPLIT: This sets John up for Valiant’s long feared V-Split, keeping John down long enough for the three and for Valiant to clinch the victory.

 

Winner: Valiant via pinfall with V-Split

Time: 11:14

Match Rating: 81 (B)

Barry’s Thoughts: John is a much better character than worker, but if there he and Valiant both have in common, it’s good in-ring psychology. These guys can tell a story and get a crowd interested, and boy did the crowd eat it up. A really good match and a nice win for Valiant to get him ready for When Hell Freezes Over.

Duane Fry: Valiant picking up the all important win here before Sunday’s PPV!

 

Emma Chase: Please, Valiant got lucky with John Greed. He’s going to be up against three of the toughest names in SWF. How in the world do you expect him to survive under that environment?

 

Heart to Heart

The SWF nation appears split with Valiant, something that has long been common with Valiant ever since his feud with Rogue in 2013. A good chunk of the crowd still cheers him, mostly women, kids and those who just love watching wrestling. But there is a vocal minority that would rather prefer to see a much more ‘edgy’ character than Valiant and boo him for it. Tonight, it looks like a 70/30 split.

 

This doesn’t bother Valiant though as he seems to have other plans in mind.

 

Valiant: This week, at When Hell Freezes Over. I am set to do battle with three fellow superstars of SWF. There is my good friend Angry Gilmore, (crowd pops majorly) and my former friend Rogue, (crowd is split on him 50/50) but of course; there is the man who refers to himself as ‘Big Money’ himself. (Pause) Brandon James. (the crowd boos, as Valiant appears stern yet still warm) Brandon, you and I have had our share of differences, faults and issues. But make no mistake, I will always respect you as an athlete. (The SWF Nation, more appropriate that other 30% of fans who don’t like Valiant boo this statement, calling it cheap...even though Valiant has done this for virtually every opponent except Rogue) However, your selfish, egotistical personality has disgruntled the good people of Oregon long enough. (The crowd pops for the cheap plug for their hometown) A man of his stature, his pride, his wealth; shall one day fall. And you my friend, are no exception. (Pause) So let this be a warning; When Hell Freezes Over. I will not only win the right to become number one contender for the SWF World Heavyweight title, I will also show the SWF nation that I have one thing that you don’t have...and that Brandon...is a heart.

 

Rating: 79 (B)

Barry’s Thoughts: Again, this is my problem with Valiant. He’s so...white looking. And that’s not me being racist to my own race, (that’s a thing?) he really is cookie cutter white meat. And it seems the SWF Nation has known this for a long time, if he is going to be a main eventer; something has to change for his character. And quick, because i’m not sure this charade can last much longer.

Duane Fry: Valiant, with some words for Brandon going into When Hell Freezes Over.

 

Emma Chase: At this point i’m counting the days until Valiant finally knocks him silly and gets his conscience straight.

 

Duane Fry: Emma, it sounds like you’re jealous of Krissy.

 

Emma Chase: (defensive) I am not! I’m just saying that Krissy is not focused on Brandon’s best interests is what i’m saying.

 

Something for Squeak to Do

We head backstage where Ana Garcia (who seems to be in a much better mood tonight) is standing by with Squeeky McClean, who is smelling some sort of fragrance. It is clear by the fake smile that he is lying about how it smells, but does not wish to say it out loud knowing the potential outcome.

 

Squeeky McClean: I must say Ana, that new perfume you’re wearing is quite impressive in terms of it’s smell quality.

 

Ana Garcia: Thanks! I’ve only been trying it out for about a week, it’s changed the way i’ve looked on life. Who knew smelling like a ‘diva’ could be so-

 

Squeeky McClean: Clean?

 

Ana Garcia: I was going for good…(Squeeky begins to sweat, not something he normally does) but clean works too! (Squeeky sighs with relief)

 

As it has been common with SWF as of late, the camera man reminds Ana that they are currently rolling.

 

Ana Garcia: Thank you Joshy-bear! (Squeeky gags a little in his mouth, but regains composure for the interview) Ana Garcia, here once again alongside ‘Mr. Clean’ himself, Squeeky McClean. Now Squeeky, this week; you will be taking part in When Hell Freezes Over. Having said that; you still haven’t found an opponent yet. Are you concerned?

 

Squeeky McClean: (Condescension pouring out with every word) Alas Ana, it is such a shame to be left in the cold. (Sigh) But, I suppose it is to be expected. After all, no man can come close to the cleanliness and wholesome nature that I, Squeeky McClean comes to. With such, there is also no man who can rightfully call himself ‘the smartest’, or ‘the brightest’ or better yet ‘the-’

 

Voice: How about ‘The most arrogant?’

 

Squeeky and Ana take a look, the camera pans to see Steven Parker; clearly not impressed with the whole ordeal himself.

 

Steven Parker: Squeeky, how can you say that you’re the smartest or the brightest? That’s something I expect a valedictorian to say. But I guess that’s to the core for you, always puffing yourself up; making yourself better than you really are. Not like me, I didn’t get fed with a silver spoon and get my claim to fame by having a few good products. (Shakes his head) No, I had to work my ass every night to make me a better worker, better person but most importantly. (Gets up in Squeeky’s face) A better wrestler.

 

The two stare at each other, not willing to give in.

 

Squeeky McClean: Well then, I think i’ve found my opponent for When Hell Freezes Over.

 

Steven Parker: I believe you have. (turns over to Ana Garcia) And one more thing Ana, he’s lying about your perfume. He thinks it’s hideous.

 

Ana Garcia: (shocked) What?

 

Squeeky McClean: (trying to defend himself) Now wait just a minute!

 

Squeeky and Steven begin to argue for a little bit, Ana trying desperately to get a word in; growing more and more frustrated until…

 

Ana Garcia: SHUT UP!

 

In a fit of rage, she snarls at both Steven and Squeeky; startling and stopping their argument.

 

Ana Garcia: You people are ruining what is supposed to be a perfectly good interview! I get all dolled up, wearing make-up, even putting on the perfume just to make me SMELL professional, I work day in and day out just to deliver these ungrateful CRETINS their daily dose of crash TV and THIS is the thanks I get? (Both are completely taken aback by Ana’s meltdown) I just, I can’t even! I can’t believe how unprofessional you people really are- (Squeeky tries to lend a sympathetic hand) DON’T YOU TOUCH ME YOU LIAR! (Squeeky runs away, not wanting to get into any more trouble) (She sighs, frustrated) I’m sorry Josh, we’re going to have to try to shoot this later; it’s just- (sees Steven Parker, standing with his mouth agape; in complete shock over what he just saw) Is there something you want to get off your chest?

 

Steven Parker: (Shocked) Yeah, i’ve just got one question. (Pause) Since when did you become such a bitch?

 

Ana is stunned, floored even; by this question. As Steven walks away, shaking his head in disappointment, Ana tries to recollect herself; but she can’t. The fact she might be turning into...well, you know what; is too much for her.

 

Ana Garcia: (voice cracking) Joshy?...Did he just…

 

There is a brief silence, and then she shivers slightly, a cold, shaky sigh taking over her body.

 

Rating: 61 (C)

Barry’s Thoughts: This segment accomplished two things, one; it gave Squeeky a match and two; it developed Ana’s new ‘diva’ character, which I cannot wait to write more about. I’ve got a great comedic storyline planned out which I really hope the audience ends up liking.

 

Emma Chase: (angered) How DARE Steven slander her good name like that! She’s been a professional in this industry for so many years and for him to just call her a you know what?!

 

Duane Fry: Offensive as it may be, you can’t help but wonder what is with Ana’s newfound attitude as of late. If last week was any notion of it...could it be that… (disbelief) no, no it couldn’t be.

 

Match 2: Rogue vs Captain Atomic

AN HONEST SLUG-OFF: As it tends to go for Rogue’s matches, Rogue shakes the hand of some of the people in the audiences and the referee. As the match begins, Rogue tries to shake Captain Atomic’s hand; but he is not easily fooled and immediately goes on the attack. The two slug it out like wild bulls for a little bit.

 

ATOMIC HAND: Captain Atomic briefly takes the upper hand of the match by launching himself off of the corner, running to Rogue and dazing him for an instant with a superman-like punch. He runs to the ropes and tries to do it once again, this time to set him down…

 

STANDING HOT SHOT: But Rogue counters this with a move of his own, lifting his opponent in almost a bear-hug position and dropping them backwards so their throat violently gets snapped off the top rope.

 

CRASHING ON, TAKE NOTES ANGRY: This marks the end of any significant momentum for Captain Atomic, which comes apparent as soon Rogue finishes Atomic off with Crashing On. Emma urging Angry to ‘take notes’ as to how to wrestle a good match.

 

Winner: Rogue via pinfall with Crashing On

Time: 10:23

Match Rating: 84 (B+)

Barry’s Thoughts: I told the two to go all out with their brawling, and they did not disappoint. This was a great, fast-paced match that got the fans pumped up. Overall, a well-done effort from both parties.

Duane Fry: Rogue, picking up momentum before When Hell Freezes Over with an impressive win against Captain Atomic.

 

Emma Chase: Rogue looks to be a major contender coming into the fatal four way this week.

 

Angry for Vengeance

Rogue smiles at a job well done as the crowd (again, like with Valiant) appears divided with him. 50/50 actually. He politely asks the ring announcer if he can borrow his microphone, he does so; if only not to fall to his beatdown, he re-enters the ring and looks at the fallen Captain Atomic.

 

Rogue: (false sincerity) My sincere apologies to Mr. Atomic for applying this treacherous beatdown on him during the course of our match and for putting this unfortunate loss on his record. Regardless of whatever the course of this match may have taken place, I truly am thankful for the effort you put on during our little encounter and look forward to fighting with you again in the near future. (The SWF Nation clearly knows that Rogue is lying and they let him show it)

 

Rogue walks away from the ring and heads back up the ramp slowly, as he does so; he continues to talk and shake a few hands along the way.

 

Rogue: I know it may seem like i’m lying by the skin of my teeth, and I respect your opinion if you believe so; but I shall have you know that I truly am a decent and honorable man. And a decent and honorable man knows when to give his opponent respect, not like that ruffian Angry Gilmore. (The SWF Nation pops heavily for the Straight-Edge Superstar, which Rogue shrugs off) My friends, I understand clearly why one may like him despite his questionable actions as of late. But these actions, as i’m sure you’ve seen have been ruthless, petty and uncalled for. (He shakes his head, disgustedly at these ‘actions’) He calls me a ‘fraud’, a ‘scoundrel’ and a ‘snake in the grass’? Even though I am none of those things. The attacks he has sent on me throughout the course of the last several months, is this the person you want to support? (The crowd cheers) No matter, I’m not worried about that. If anything, this can be easily rectified. (The crowd begins to clamor as the person Rogue has been calling out stalks him silently without him even knowing) Once I finally take care of Angry Gilmore at When Hell Freezes Over, the entire SWF Nation will know who Angry truly is. A lying, deceitful shell of-

 

He turns around to see Angry Gilmore, he charges at Rogue and puts a beating on him; pummeling him with lefts and rights. Rogue tries frantically to find his way out of his attack; but to no avail.

Eventually, referees and road agents come out to try and stop the assault, but it’s clear this is Angry’s way of getting revenge on Rogue for last week. Finally, Jessie; Angry’s wife manages to be the one that calms Angry down, urging him to stop.

 

Just like that, he stops and pauses to look up at Jessie. He’s annoyed, but he knows he has to save all of his energy for When Hell Freezes Over. The two stand over a beaten Rogue, not willing to hold back their ground.

 

Rating: 79 (B)

Barry’s Thoughts: Revenge is a sweet drug here in SWF, it seems like a storyline’s best friend to include such a thing. This is no different here.

 

Duane Fry: Angry Gilmore getting revenge of Rogue for his heinous assault last week!

 

Emma Chase: He’d better be thankful Jessie was here to calm him down, that man is a psychopath!

 

Duane Fry: There’s a reason they call him angry, Emma.

 

Sensitivity Training

We head backstage once again where we see Ana Garcia inside a locker-room sitting with another wrestler, but this is not an interview; more so this is her in a state we’ve never seen her in before. Seemingly teetering on the verge between a nervous breakdown and sanity slippage.

 

Ana Garcia: You’ve known me for a while now, SWF journalist for over ten years, investigating the news every day, i’ve been known as one of the nicest people backstage. Then I hire this new camera-man, you know him right? And all of a sudden everyone thinks i’ve turned into some sort of raging psychopathic diva. (Catches herself and calms down) What do you think?

 

The camera pans to see who Ana is talking to, Jimmy Hernandez; who seems to have been paying quite good attention for someone whose favorite thing to talk about is surfing. He is however very baffled over the whole situation.

 

Jimmy Hernandez: (confused) Dude...you trust me with an opinion?

 

Ana Garcia: Yes, Jimmy; I trust you.

 

Jimmy Hernandez: (hesitant) ...You really want to know?

 

Ana Garcia: Yes I do Jimmy. (Jimmy begins to think, impatiently desperate she tries to urge him on) Come on Jimmy, you can tell me! Tell me that i’m this crazed bitch in sheep’s clothing, I can take it!

 

Jimmy Hernandez: (softly, shrugging) ...A little.

 

Ana sits there in silent shock as Jimmy appears sympathetic having to tell her the unfortunate truth. And then, she breaks down; reduced into tears of agony, putting her hands on her face as to shield herself from anyone thinking she’s actually crying. Jimmy shakes his head in disappointment and puts a sympathetic hand on her back.

 

Ana Garcia: (between tears) I’m ruined...ruined! (sobbing)

 

Jimmy Hernandez: There, there...it’ll be alright brah…

 

All of a sudden, a new voice enters the conversation; a nasally voice, who appears legitimately concerned.

 

Voice: Is everything alright?

 

Jimmy Hernandez and Ana Garcia look to the left to see who it is that has barged in the moment. It’s Justin Sensitive, of all people. Jimmy seems rather annoyed that Justin has entered without permission.

 

Jimmy Hernandez: Dude, this is like; the worst possible time to be pulling this crap. I’m here trying to chill this beautiful lil’ dude-ette and-

 

Justin Sensitive: Oh no, no, no. I’m not here to cause trouble, i’m just here to ask what the problem is.

 

Jimmy Hernandez: (annoyed) Well, if you must know-

 

Justin Sensitive: (interrupting, smugly) Wait, wait! Don’t tell me…(pointing at Ana Garcia) You, madame have a problem. A problem with your temper. A problem, which; to my knowledge hasn’t existed before-hand. (Jimmy gives him a look that reads ‘no shit sherlock’) And you don’t know what it is that has caused such a problem…(Ana tries to respond, but) Well fear not! I, Justin Sensitive, social media extraordinaire, am here to help! You just leave it up to me, and I will figure out what it is that has transformed you into a... (about to say the word, but catches himself) well, I refuse to say such a slur to any woman no matter who they are; that would be sexual harassment. Let’s just say...angry! Yeah, angry! The case of the Angry Ana!

 

Jimmy Hernandez: (Infuriated) Will you just get outta here bro?

 

Justin Sensitive: A’ight! A’ight! If you need me, i’ll be looking for clues like a detective. But first! (pause, sheepish) I gotta look up how to be a detective.

 

Justin walks away leaving Jimmy and Ana completely confused, Ana takes a look in a mirror and is stunned at her face.

 

Ana Garcia: (nearing back to tears) Oh god...all this mascara. (Starts to cry again, softer this time)

 

Rating: 63 (C)

Barry’s Thoughts: This storyline right here is my personal pet project. Not only does it add a layer to Ana’s personality, it also gives Justin and Jimmy something to do for the time being. The end goal in all of this? Well, let’s just say we might be getting a new tag team when the ashes go out.

Duane Fry: (exasperated) Sweet mother of...is the job of interviewing SWF's stars starting to get to her?

 

Emma Chase: This is what happens when you call someone something they’re not. This is on you Steven.

 

Duane Fry: I dunno Emma, he may have a point...this is turning out to be quite serious.

 

Match 3: The Awesomeness vs American Machine and Mikey Lau

NOT AWESOME: Before the match can even start, The Awesomeness attempt to walk away; clearly uninterested in facing off against the makeshift team of American Machine and Mikey Lau, not wanting to take the cheap way out; Machine pulls Huey in the hair and drags him into the ring, Jefferson forced to play chase.

 

POWER PLAY: From there, American Machine goes straight to work on Huey; wearing him down with moves that would make Sam Strong and Bruce the Giant proud but every other wrestler wince with fear. Eventually, Huey can take no more of the pain and Jefferson has to come in; the result is the same for him.

 

MIKEY’S TURN: Eventually Mikey gets his shots as he stings the thighs and knees of Jefferson with kick after kick. Looking to end the match early, he sets Jefferson up with a Sytching Side Kick, Jefferson is able to counter this move and hit a leaping neckbreaker.

 

STAGE DIVE: A traditional finishing maneuver for Jefferson, he points to the top rope and leaps his way up there like a cat. And then, with Mikey unconscious; he leaps high up, getting some amazing air time and hitting Mikey’s body with his elbow. Jefferson almost gets the win for The Awesomeness, but American Machine manages to save the match just in time.

 

DISTRACTING EQUALS: After order is restored, Huey is sent to take on a worn down Mikey and looks set to finish him off by sending him into the corner and hitting him with his Cannonball Run, (high speed double knee strike in the corner) that is until he hears that familiar sound of Train’s ‘Hey Soul Sister’. It’s the Amazing Bumfholes coming out of the rampway, sarcastically *clapping at a job well done The Awesomeness. Huey calls out the Bumfholes for their distraction, little does he know that Mikey has recovered and has set his sights on Huey. When he turns around, BAM! Sytching Side Kick, Mikey takes home the W thanks to the interference of The Bumfholes!

 

Winners: American Machine and Mikey Lau via pinfall after distraction by The Bumfholes

Time: 9:32

Match Rating: 68 (C+)

Barry’s Thoughts: Our tag team division is pretty empty right now, yes the five teams we have serve their roles well; but at some point there needs to be some sort of variety. I’m hoping American Machine and Mikey Lau make a solid mid-card tag team, but it’s likely this ends up being a placeholder at best.

Duane Fry: Thanks to the distraction by the Bumfholes, The Awesomeness have been upset by American Machine and Mikey Lau!

 

Emma Chase: I can’t see how The Awesomeness lets this go by the time When Hell Freezes Over comes around.

 

Brute Force and Intelligence Go Hand in Hand

Heading over backstage to see, inexplicably Ana Garcia; while no longer a sobbing wreck, is clearly still upset over the events that had transpired before and taking deep, calming breaths. The cameraman seems concerned for her well-being.

 

‘Josh’: Are you sure you want to do this?

 

Ana Garcia: Of course I do Josh, I have to do this.

 

‘Josh’: You know you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.

 

Ana Garcia: Josh, i’ve been doing this for eleven years now. If you’re thinking i’m going to stop now, i’m not. (taking one last deep breath, calm, soft) Let’s do this…(clears throat) Ladies and gentleman, with me right now are two of the combatants for tonight’s main event, Brandon James and Paul Huntington. Brandon, Paul, next week you’ll be taking part in two title matches, Brandon for the number one contendership of the SWF Heavyweight title and Paul, the SWF North American title. How confident are you that you’ll be gaining some last minute momentum before your matches?

 

Brandon James: Confidence? Brandon exudes confidence. He knows the key to success, and he will do whatever it takes to get to the top of the SWF.

 

Paul Huntington: Elementary my dear Brandon, we are both men with a bright conscience. We both have a goal in mind, and we shall stop at nothing to achieve said goal, for him; it is to win the right to face Remo for the world title. (Brandon nods) And for me? It is to regain what I should have never lost, the SWF North American title. Because-

 

Brandon James: Because Brandon...is big money. (Brandon and Krissy saunter away leaving only Ana and Paul together)

 

Paul Huntington: ...Stay regal. (Runs off to join Brandon and Krissy)

 

After a short while passes, Ana starts to snicker which turns into uncontrollable and infectious giggle.

 

Ana Garcia: (Between laughs) These guys are such dorks! (laughing again)

 

Rating: 84 (B+)

Barry’s Thoughts: Another solid promo for both guys, proving once again that Brandon is hitting a renaissance period in his career. Paul looks like he’s ready for a main event run, and who knows? If he keeps this up, he might just get it.

Duane Fry: Well dorks or not, Brandon and Paul have made their statement against Angry and Joey.

 

Emma Chase: Don’t count these two out, they may have egos; but as Brandon and Paul have shown time and time again, they can back it up in the ring.

 

Match 4: Jack Bruce vs Bret Starr

THUNDER-STRIKE: Bret Starr’s entrance is very long and contains a lot of theatrics, Jack also has theatrics in his entrance, but not to the extent as Bret. So to be fair, he lets Bret have his moment; smirking in the distance and taking his time to flirt with some of the women in the audience. When Bret finally enters the ring, he claps sarcastically and congratulates him on a job well done and enters the ring.

 

JACK REALLY IS BACK: Once the match starts, Jack shows the audience that he hasn’t lost a step since being gone, hitting Bret with his traditional array of charismatic show-stopping punches. Bret tries to get some momentum in, but to no avail.

 

LONG ISLAND TRIO: A crowd pleaser that Jack likes to use for his matches, is a succession of three rolling vertical suplex; this is something he calls the Long Island Trio, ‘Johnny’, ‘Eddie’ and ‘Lil’ Suzy’ he calls them. He goes for the cover, gets a two, but no further.

 

STARR MAKER: The closest Bret comes to beating Jack is when he miscalculate a New York Minute and stuns him with a shoulder block, he sends him to the corner, running towards him with a striking high knee. While the Starr Maker no longer finishes matches like it used to, it is still a very forceful move.

 

THAT’S A WRAP: But in the end, it’s all for naught as Jack fights back quickly and eventually finishes Bret’s night with a move the crowd has been missing on Tuesday nights...The New York Minute! Say it with the crowd now, Jack, is, back.

 

Winner: Jack Bruce via pinfall with the New York Minute

Time: 9:28

Match Rating: 78 (B)

Barry’s Thoughts: This is the same idea with what happened to the Crippler, you showcase his best moves, get Bret a little moment in the spotlight, then wham; you give him the all important win. Simple booking 101 here.

Duane Fry: Jack is back! Jack is back!

 

Emma Chase: Duane, you sound like an absolute fanboy when you say that; besides, he still has to face The Crippler at When Hell Freezes Over. That’s no joke you know.

 

Who’s Laughing?

Jack Bruce celebrates his victory with the crowd until he hears slow clapping coming from the titantron. Sure enough, it’s The Crippler who seems to have been watching the entire match unfold from backstage.

 

The Crippler: Not bad Jack...not bad. The sheriff truly is back in town. But for how long? (Jack watches The Crippler from the ring, arms crossed and listening with intent) Jack, if you know me well, and you definitely should, it’s that I don’t just destroy people...I make them my bitch. Because for so many years, these people out there made me my bitch, they made me a precursor of goodness, a puppet forced to play the good guy. The funny guy who wanted to make you laugh, (suddenly shouting) WELL WHO’S LAUGHING NOW? (Pause, looks in the camera with intent) This Sunday, When Hell Freezes Over; I will unleash a hell that you’ve never seen before. Your limbs will be shattered, your eyes will be blinded, your neck will be snapped into two, because i’m The Crippler...and I (BLEEP)-ing break people.

 

Rating: 79 (B)

Barry’s Thoughts: This may be the only weakness Chris really has as a wrestler, he’s just...okay on the mic. He’s not good, he’s not bad, he’s just...ok. This may be a problem if we want to make him a main event star after his feud with Jack Bruce.

 

Duane Fry: The Crippler with some harsh words for Jack going into their match.

 

Emma Chase: Oh yeah, you should be afraid Jack. Because if you’re not careful, The Crippler is going to send you back to the hospital and make you wish you never came back!

 

Duane Fry: Now folks, we are receiving reports that after spending a three month vacation at the Bahamas, Eric Eisen will be making his grand return at When Hell Freezes Over. As you know, he was going under a major losing streak and decided that he needed to go away and ‘reevaluate his career’. Well, we can now say that his reevaluation period if you can call it that, is over. And the end result? See for yourself.

 

Make SWF Supreme Again

(Patriotic music swells as the video plays, it shows many of America’s most popular landmarks such as the Statue of Liberty and the Golden Gate Bridge)

 

Eric Eisen: (voice-over) My fellow nation. We are at a cross-roads not seen in over a generation. The SWF has for a long time, been the dominating force in all of sports entertainment. But that dream, may be dying before your very eyes. (the tone changes, we are then shown videos of what can only be described as sheer anarchy as the people riot through the streets, fighting the police, fighting normal people, fighting each other) When you see SWF now, you see not big, strong men; but tiny, vanilla midgets flipping and flopping about for ‘entertainment’. Gone are the days of saying your prayers and eating your vitamins, now reign the days of doing whatever you want and defying authority until it goes your way. But what is the most insulting of all you may ask? The very treatment of the veterans who have once graced the art of sports entertainment, now being defecated on by those who want their wrestling ‘cutting-edge’ and with ‘high workrate’. Well I say, enough. (A picture of Eric Eisen’s face, smiling warmly with a red hat on his cap appears as the patriotic music resumes) My name is Eric Eisen, and it’s time for us...to make SWF supreme again.

 

Rating: 77 (B-)

Barry’s Thoughts: So i’m pretty sure you all know the fact that Donald Trump is currently running for the Republican nominee for President? (And I must admit, he’s doing a lot better than I thought he would…) Well, that’s the base for this gimmick. Eric Eisen is Donald Trump, except where Trump hates immigrants; Eisen hates ‘vanilla midgets’. Trust me, the gimmick is a lot better than it sounds.

Emma Chase: (clapping) Beautiful! Absolutely fantastic!

 

Duane Fry: Seems like Eric hasn’t changed much since his ‘vacation’. If anything, he seems to have gotten more childish.

 

Emma Chase: Oh Duane, you just don’t get it.

 

Duane Fry: Oh I do Emma, I do. And what I get, I don’t like.

 

MAIN EVENT: Angry Gilmore and Joey Morgan vs Brandon James and Paul Huntington

 

REMO, CHAMPION COMMENTATOR: Before the match can even get underway, Remo comes out; as stoic and as determined as he’s ever been. He takes a seat next to Emma who gives him a royal welcome. But he’s not interested in that, he’s interested in seeing the people fight. “Isn’t that what we come here for?”

 

MAD START: Angry Gilmore starts off with Paul Huntington for the match, and immediately he begins to grind on Paul with impressive catch wrestling and technical prowess; Paul unable to find a defense for said moves.

 

BRANDON SAVES THE DAY: It becomes too much for Paul to take, so he tags in Brandon to bail him out. He goes on the attack, and while not putting him in grave danger does leave him open for future attack until he himself tags in Joey Minnesota. The two go at it with punches, both wanting to prove a point.

 

SAMOAN MONEY: Brandon eventually gains control of the match, a point cemented when he picks Joey up over his shoulders and dropping backwards; crushing him with a samoan drop. It’s not a match ender, but it rattles Joey really good.

 

LET’S GET ANGRY!: Desperate for a tag, Joey tries to fight Brandon off; but it’s easily said than done when Brandon is on the warpath toying with you every second. Eventually, Joey finds an opening and capitalizing with a belly to belly suplex. He struggles to Angry and gets the tag, and just like that; he storms into the ring to lay waste on Brandon and Paul. Angry sets Brandon up, he sends him to Anger Management! 1, 2, no! Paul saved the match for his team!

 

KRISSY FINDS A WAY: Joey throws Paul out of the ring so Angry can focus solely on Brandon, he hits Brandon with another Anger Management and goes for the cover...but where’s the ref? Sure enough, he’s being distracted by Krissy Angelle in all her pure hotness; you can tell he wants to tell her off, but like with any man with testosterone; he can’t. Angry tries to get the ref back to his senses, leaving an opening for Brandon to capitalize with the Big Money Move. The ref finally gets his act together, but by that point; it’s too late. A three count later and Brandon and Paul take home the win.

 

Winner: Brandon James and Paul Huntington via pinfall with a Big Money Move after Krissy Angelle interfered

Time: 16:37

Match Rating: 71 (C+)

Barry’s Thoughts: This match was a disappointment to me, I really thought that with the talent involved that this would be a lot better. Oh well, that’s what a total rookie like me gets for making a spectacle out of a barely over fifteen minute match...Oh, and we changed up Joey’s gimmick. He’s so good at wrestling, that it basically IS his gimmick. The fans love this idea, and so do I.

Duane Fry: Krissy just stole the match for Angry and Joey!

 

Emma Chase: Well at least she did SOMETHING right for once in her life. She helped her ‘man’ win, and now he has momentum going into this sunday.

 

Duane Fry: Let me know when the celebration party for you and your ex-boyfriend begins Emma.

 

Remo: (monotone) Very bi-partisan of you Duane.

 

The Odd Men Out

Just because Brandon and Paul have won the match, doesn’t mean that they’re exactly finished with Angry or Paul and they proceed to kick em while they’re down much to the disgust of Duane. He calls for someone, anyone to come in and save the day for them…

 

Highway run

Into the midnight sun

 

Sure enough, someone has managed to answer his pleas. Valiant. He comes running down the ring to take on Brandon and the two go at it instantly, giving Angry and Joey enough time to take on Paul. It looks like the faces are going to get the upper-hand until…

 

WHAM!

 

It seems that they’ve forgotten about one man as Angry goes crashing down. Rogue smiles, a chair in hand. The scene stands as so, Brandon and Valiant continue to fight with neither side getting a clear advantage, Rogue beating the ever living crap out of Angry with a steel chair and Joey trying to catch a fleeing Paul so he can take him down a peg. And all the while, referees and staff are trying to find a way to break this up.

 

Rating: 78 (B)

Barry’s Thoughts: What else did you want? This is an old fashioned drag out brawling segment that showcases all the major storylines.

 

Duane Fry: Folks, this is chaos! Bodies are fighting everywhere you see!

 

Remo: (smirking evilly, surveying the damage) I love it already...

 

Duane Fry: Remo, how come you aren’t getting involved in this?

 

Remo: Let the weaklings fight Duane, makes the inevitable all the more pleasing.

 

Duane Fry: Folks, this is where we’ll leave you for tonight; but don’t forget, This Sunday, When Hell Freezes Over, it will be Angry Gilmore, Valiant, Brandon James and Rogue fighting for the right to face Remo for the World Title and Joey Morgan and Paul Huntington for the SWF North American title, until then; this is Duane Fry telling you to keep on the lookout for more supreme action! Same supreme time, same supreme channel, right here from the Supreme Wrestling Federation! See you on Sunday!

 

Final Rating: 77 (B-)

Barry’s Thoughts: Yeah, I made some gambles here (giving Justin Sensitive a ton of time for example) and for the most part, they did not pay off. But again, i’m a total jobber when it comes to booking shows; so cut me some slack here. So, this show had it’s problems, we’ll move on from it, hopefully Rich doesn’t decide he wants my head on a platter and we’ll go from there. See you for When Hell Freezes Over…

 

Again, that sounds like a cheesy DVD flick you watch with your friends when you’re bored and have a ton of alcohol to waste.
