And what a sight to behold, as ECW is back! My name is Don Callis and alongside me is the one, the only, the voice of ECW, Joey Styles!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Styles</strong>: Thank you Don, it feels great to be here, in the arena that has been like a home to me for the better part of a decade.</p><p> But before we go any further, the chairman, yes you heard right, CHAIRMAN of ECW, Paul Heyman, has an announcement to make.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Callis</strong>: Already?!</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Styles</strong>: Yes, already. Don’t change the channel, ECW is alive!</p><p> *Commercial Break*</p><p> </p><p> *We Come Back From Commercials To Hear Heyman’s Music Hit To Huge Cheers and ECW Chants*</p><p> <img alt="GIxrwRr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIxrwRr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>Heyman, Embracing The Chants, Suddenly Starts Talking</strong>: WELCOME TO E C W!!!!! Did you miss me? *Yes Chants*</p><p> Cause I certainly missed YOU. </p><p> Now, you may be asking yourself, "how in the world did they let ECW return?"</p><p> Well, two weeks ago, I got a call from one Vincent Kennedy McMahon *Jeers* but it wasn’t him on the phone, it was some government agent named Amanda and he tells me to come to Vince’s office. I said ‘okay’ but felt like something's up. When I arrive there, sitting in front of me were Vince, the agent, William Regal *Cheers*, Triple H *Boos* and Eric Bischoff *Loud Boos*. I'm not legally allowed to say much about what occured in said room, but to summarize, E C W IS BACK! *Philly Crowd Goes Bananas*</p><p> And right now, it’s time for Hardcore TV!</p><p> But before I go on and make the afformentioned announcement, I need to clearify something. The Human Race's best feat is our ability to adapt, and quickly. ECW is no different. Hardcore is not as, how will I say this, "Socially Acceptable" as it used to be. And while ECW still stands for EXTREME Championship Wrestling, I had to make some changes to the product. These changes mean you will see less suicidal table spots, innovative hardcore stipulations, or New Jack *crowd laughs*, and more high flying action packed matches, quality WRESTLING, and women's wrestling.</p><p> And as Joey Styles mentioned, I have an announcement. This announcement is of two tournaments that are going to take place:</p><p> The ECW World Heavyweight Championship</p><p> and The ECW Women’s Championship</p><p> Not only that, but we will crown the first ECW Television Champion since 2000!</p><p> So without any further a do, it’s time to get <strong>HARD CORE!</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Segment Rating:</strong> <span>http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=6820&stc=1&d=1527594504</span></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> <img alt="oojJ04I4q_Y52zbz5hWqQG27ykNq6kF_D4lnxrp0QpSEQsHkYBcDrVZF1VY061xRTNxb=s170" data-src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/oojJ04I4q_Y52zbz5hWqQG27ykNq6kF_D4lnxrp0QpSEQsHkYBcDrVZF1VY061xRTNxb=s170" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> <strong>15 Man Battle Royal - ECW Television Title</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="45446" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>A surprise enters at #1 when we hear <a href="https://youtu.be/yv2Mj8vUe88" rel="external nofollow">this</a>.<p> </p><p> </p><p> The crowd goes wild for the return of The Sandman, followed by "The American Nightmare" Cody.

<p>A few notes *SPOILERS*:</p><p> </p><p>

Hardcore TV got a 8.80 Rating, and I'm pretty happy with it considering I didn't even use Brock yet.</p><p> </p><p>

Half the lockeroom got pissed since, surprise surprise, Mr Sandman appeared drunk *AND* high! Classic Sandy, never gonna use you again brother.</p><p> </p><p>

Rousey thinks Uhaa has a lot of charisma and sees him doing well in the future.</p><p>

If only WWE would kindly realize it too...</p><p> </p><p>

Rusev thinks Moose can't sell a move worth a damn. RUSEV.</p><p>

I mean, I like Ru Ru, but come on, it's not like you're goddamn Shawn Michaels too.</p>

Its a really interesting idea. I would say it would make it a lot easier for reading if the layout and writing style was the same for each show. Not like identical, but at the moment it feels a bit all over the place, it would make it easier to follow and on the eye to have a bit of a uniform approach. Just my opinion of course.

Taz: Absolutely. Tonight we start the tournament to determine the WCW World Championship!</p><p> </p><p>

JR: We will see Drew McIntyre up against Karl Anderson, Shinzuke Nakamura Vs. Luke Gallows, Finn Balor against Dolph Ziggler and in our main event Samoa Joe Vs. Seth Rollins!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Stu Bennett</strong></p><p> </p><p>

In a battle of striking versus submission, Bennett and Swagger took it to one another in the opening match of the returning WCW. Swagger used his quickness to take down Bennett.</p><p> </p><p>

The tide turned when Swagger went for the Patriot Lock and Bennett pushed him shoulder first into the turnbuckle.</p><p> </p><p>

Bennett goes for a big boot, but Swagger ducks. He picks him up for the Swagger Bomb. His shoulder is wobbly from the abuse. Bennett slides down his back as Swagger walks into the Bullhammer. Bennett pins Swagger!</p><p> </p><p>

JR: Hard hitting match between these two but Bennett had the awareness and took Swagger out with the Bullhammer!</p><p> </p><p>

Taz: Swagger with a good effort! I understand we have Seth Rollins in the back!</p><p> </p><p>

Seth Rollins: It’s funny where life takes you sometimes. But there is no place I’d rather be than in World Championship Wrestling. I didn’t come here just to be a great wrestler I came here to be the best. To be your World Champion.</p><p> </p><p>

I have a hard hurdle against you Samoa Joe. You hit as hard as you can take it. Unlucky for you, I’m resilient and I scratch and I crawl to get what I want. I’ll see you tonight Joe when we burn it down!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>TJP</strong></p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

After some back and forth action, TJP goes for a springboard tornado DDT, but Kota puts on the breaks. He traps him in a bridging tiger suplex for a close near fall!</p><p> </p><p>

Later in the match, Ibushi goes for the Pheonix SPlash, but TJP rolls out of the way. Perkins picks up Ibushi and hits him iwth a double chicken wing knee gutbuster.</p><p> </p><p>

Ibushi went for a bridging German, but Perkins landed on his feet. TJP picked him up and hit the Detonation Kick for the pinfall victory!</p><p> </p><p>

Taz: What a great match JR!</p><p> </p><p>

JR: You said it Taz. I thought Ibushi had the win there, but he was just one step off from Perkins who scored the win! Let’s go to the back where Drew McIntyre is ready to talk about his match against Karl Anderson!</p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="tON3fm7.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tON3fm7.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Drew McIntyre: You made your name Anderson in Japan. I can respect that. I honed my craft in England, Ireland, and Scotland. You may be as bad as they come Karl, but I’m better. Hear my war cry. The pride of Scotland will take home the victory and making myself that much closer to being the WCW World Champion!</p><p> </p><p>

JR: Strong words from McIntyre. Will see if he cana back it up!</p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="tON3fm7.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tON3fm7.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Karl Anderson</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Anderson was letting McIntyre come to him using his own momentum against him. The closer he got the more aggressive route he took. A reverse into the turnbuckle sent McIntyre's back into the steel post. Anderson picked up McIntyre taking him down with a death valley bomb. McIntyre got the shoulder up.</p><p> </p><p>

As the match wore on, ducking it out. Anderson with a forearm to the face. McIntyre with an elbow to the side of the head. Anderson goes for a running boot, but McIntyre counters with a lifting sitout spinebuster for a 2!</p><p> </p><p>

The end came when Anderson went for the Gun Stun, but McIntyre pushes him off. He came off the ropes hitting the Claymore for the win!</p><p> </p><p>

Taz: Shinzuke Nakamura with the impressive victory tonight! The speed was just a little too much for Gallows.</p><p> </p><p>

JR: Gallows was close, I can see big things for him either in singles or tag team action with Karl Anderson! Let’s get to the back with Samoa Joe!</p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="d85mwvE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/d85mwvE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Seth Rollins, a man I’ve seen for a long time. If you can take the punishment and not get knocked out, I’ll make sure you’ll tap out. Either way, you’ll never forget tonight. We’ll burn it down alright. Your hopes and aspirations of being Champion of the World will go up in flames. Because I am Samoa Joe and I am professional wrestling!</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Dolph Ziggler</strong></p><p> </p><p>

Ziggler showed his collegiate wrestling prowess early trying to take the Irishman down. Balor was able to roll through as well before taking him down with a double leg take down. He rollowed it up with a double foot stomp to the stomach!</p><p> </p><p>

Finn goes for the Dreamcast, but Ziggler ducks it hitting the Famousor. Ziggler is egging him on. As he gets up Dolph connects with the superkick. He goes for the pin, but Balor gets his foot on the bottom rope at the last second!</p><p> </p><p>

Ziggler goes for a Zig Zag but Balor throws him off. He grabs his head and drops him with Sunday Bloody Sunday. Finn Ballor gets the three count advancing into the World Title Tournament!</p><p> </p><p>

Taz: Unbelievable JR! That match could have gone either way. </p><p> </p><p>

It was fast paced and competitive. I would love to see these two in the ring again. But now it is main event time as Samoa Joe goes up against Seth Rollins.</p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="d85mwvE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/d85mwvE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

JR: Rollins with the win!</p><p> </p><p>

<p>Something that bothers me is that the matches seems to be like more move based than the story, I know you are putting effort on it very much, I know the feeling, but I just can't seem to read the moves and what's going on, besides I felt bored in the show, the last post I am talking about <strong>WCW show specifically</strong>. Mr. rockambition</p><p> </p><p>

What I am talking about is that you need to be more specific about that is actually happening in the match, here is an example "Shinsuke seems to be hurt here, but his mind is determined in this match so he cannot lose here, he needs to win, he needs to win because he wants to be the best, to show the world, his critics, his fans, his family that he has what it takes to be a champion, he wants to prove that Gallows is not in his league. Shinsuke takes his moment to shine in this match, Shinsuke takes Gallows to his mind games and the momentum of the match seems to fall to the hands of shinsuke, will Gallows out try him? the answer was no. It was Shinsuke who defeated Gallows to show that he is not in his league and advance in his quest to championship glory" </p><p> </p><p>

I know this is the worst example here but hey try make the reader fall into your traps and like it. I have done the same mistake so I don't want anyone else to get in trouble or any readers to lose interest so the diary dies. Overall presentation is decent. The pictures are not always necessary, build around the character and everything will just be fine. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
