Dynasty Synopsis

The game is in 2018; I've been playing the company for 2 years. The next couple of posts should summarize the past 2 years and what's happened in terms of shows; there were updates in the "What's Going On In Your Game" thread, so some of you guys might be familiar. I'm not sure if I'll stick with this, but I've got an urge to do some writing so I'm starting to.

Not a single wrestler was good enough? What was the final roster?

[Rayelek]

Not a single wrestler was good enough? What was the final roster?

 

I don't remember offhand. I didn't grab members of the roster because if I wanted them, they would have been on my roster already, as they're all on PPA contracts, and available in the States.

 

And I'm usually a terrible proprietor of roster bloat; in game I'm 3 months ahead of this and I've got 35 guys on my roster when I only need 20. Trying to avoid going too far overboard.

<span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday Week 2, January 2018</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;">

Live from Irvine Hall in the Mid South (USA)</span></p><p> </p><p>

Coming to you from Irvine Hall this month is Elite Combat Zone's third annual Evolution of Extreme event, featuring, for the first time, 6 Fatal Fourway qualifying matches for next month's Rip Chord Invitational! In addition to the 6 qualifying matches, which already gives us a stacked card, the ECZ Champion will be in action when he defends against the debuting Boom-Boom Jamaica! The lucha libre star has found his way to the States and looks to make an immediate impact against the champion! Also the Hardcore Title will be defended as young up-and-comer Kal Mitchell challenges Mobstar. We saw Jimmy Drake pull out an upset win and become a champion a few months ago, is it Kal Mitchell's turn? See you at Irvine Hall, or live on MySelect USA this Thursday night!</p><p> </p><p>

Evolution of Extreme 3</span></strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">January 2018, Live from Irvine Hall on MySelect USA!</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

</strong><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Ernest Youngman vs. Toyokuni Hardcore vs. Devyn Reynaud vs. Topher Smith</span></strong></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

Rip Chord Invitational Qualifying Match - Fatal Fourway</span></p><p> </p><p>

A competitive match that features Youngman & Toyokuni most heavily. The heel Smith takes a beating from the other 3 workers, while Reynaud adds some high spots. Youngman takes it with The Hit.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner: Ernest Youngman</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Chris Caulfield vs. Jimmy Drake vs. Killer Shark vs. Remmy Honeyman</strong></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

Rip Chord Invitational Qualifying Match - Fatal Fourway</span></p><p> </p><p>

The big stories in this match are the heart of Jimmy Drake, the dominance of Killer Shark, and the veteran know-how of Chris Caulfield. After Caulfield catches Honeyman, Drake sneaks in a Midnight DDT, only to eat a Big Bite and let Killer Shark get the win.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner: Killer Shark</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>E-Z vs. Cali Slick vs. Gram Gorman vs. Frantic Ali</strong></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

Rip Chord Invitational Qualifying Match - Fatal Fourway</span></p><p> </p><p>

This was a wild brawl from the get-go with weapons and havoc all over the place. Gram Gorman took the brunt of the beating in the match, while Ali and Slick carried the match. In the end, it was Cali Slick dropping Gram Gorman with the Slick-Back to end the match.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner: Cali Slick</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Kal Mitchell vs. Mobstar ©</strong></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

ECZ Hardcore Title - Singles Match</span></p><p> </p><p>

Basically a showcase for Mobstar who bludgeoned Mitchell from bell to bell. The Hardcore champ was easily in control for the entirity of the match, with the rookie getting in a few lucky shots, but ultimately falling after about 8 minutes.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner and stil ECZ Hardcore Champion: Mobstar</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Ray Snow vs. Ekuma vs. Sayeed Ali vs. Jerry Martin</strong></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

Rip Chord Invitational Qualifying Match - Fatal Fourway</span></p><p> </p><p>

Martin and Ali were the proprietors of hardcore in this match, offset by newcomer Ekuma's power and Ray Snow's intense strikes. Sayeed Ali was actually able to match Ekuma for power for a moment, and in that moment, the powerhouse was taken out by the other two, but Ali capitalized on being the new powerhouse in the match, planting Martin to move on to the RCI.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner: Sayeed Ali</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<span style="text-decoration:underline;"><strong>Nate DeMarcus vs. Jeremie Courtney vs. Thimbleby Langton vs. Filth Sylvain</strong></span></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

Rip Chord Invitational Qualifying Match - Fatal Fourway</span></p><p> </p><p>

Langton looked out of sorts without his tag partner beside him, and was not much of a factor in this match. Nate DeMarcus' athleticism was a big focal point in the match, but it was Jeremie Courtney pulling out the win and moving on to the Invitational.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner: Jeremie Courtney</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Logan Wolfsbaine vs. Wooten Fitzpaine vs. Ash Campbell vs. Colossus</span></strong></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

Rip Chord Invitational Qualifying Match - Fatal Fourway</span></p><p> </p><p>

Logan Wolfsbaine was the focal point of this match, fighting from below against 3 heels. Also torn from his partner, Wooten Fitzpaine loosely allied himself with the tag champs, Ash & Colossus, trying to unite to attack Wolfsbaine rather than draw their ire. In the end, Colossus planted Logan with the Damnation Drop, only for Ash to steal the pin while Colossus disposed of Fitzpaine. After the match, there was some disagreement between the tag champs.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner: Ash Campbell</strong></p><p> </p><p>

<strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Boom-Boom Jamaica vs. Kurt Laramee ©</span></strong></p><p><span style="text-decoration:underline;">

ECZ North American Title - Singles Match</span></p><p> </p><p>

Boom-Boom making his debut in this match was evident as he made efforts to beat counts that weren't there and tried to get to the ropes to break a sleeper hold, despite the lack of rope break. Still, his athleticism carried the match, and he got some exceptional spots. Still, it was Laramee catching Boom-Boom in mid-air for a Switchblade Powerslam to retain the North American Title.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Winner and still ECZ North American Champion: Kurt Laramee</strong></p><p>

<span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>Elite Combat Zone Buys Out Pro Wrestling SAISHO!!</strong></span></p><p> </p><p>

Elite Combat Zone have come to a deal to pay off the debt and acquire a number of talents from Japanese company Pro Wrestling SAISHO. Making his debut this month at The Rip Chord Invitational XIII will be <strong>"The Martial Artist" Musashi</strong>. Additionally, the following workers will be joining the ECZ roster: <strong>"Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii</strong>, <strong>Funakoshi</strong>, <strong>Blast Ikoma</strong>, and the pair of <strong>Jimmy Stratosphere</strong> and <strong>Motty Kuroda</strong>, <strong>The Diamond Dogs</strong>. While many of these workers will frequently be unavailable due to commitments with Black Canvas Grappling, Elite Combat Zone is happy to have their talent and look forward to working with the Japanese beacon of tradition that is BCG.</p><p>

<span style="font-size:18px;"><strong>ECZ The Rip Chord Invitational XIII</strong></span></p><p>

<span style="font-size:14px;">Thursday Week 2, February 2018</span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px;">

Live from Laurent Ballroom in New England (USA)</span></p><p> </p><p>

For the first time, The Rip Chord Invitational leaves the Mid Atlantic, as it comes to Elite Combat Zone, and the Laurent Ballroom in New England! Two triple threat matches will each get 1 man through to the finals, as Jeremie Courtney, Sayeed Ali and Ash Campbell face off to open the night, and Cali Slick, Ernest Youngman and Killer Shark follow. At the end of the night, only 1 of those 6 men will raise the trophy high! Also, all of the singles titles in ECZ will be on the line, as Jimmy Drake defends the Pennsylvania Title against Topher Smith, and Mobstar faces three other men in a Fatal Four-Way match for the Hardcore Championship. And "The Hardcore American" Chris Caulfield gets another shot at "The King of the Streets" Kurt Laramee for the North American Championship! Be sure to be there, or tune in on MySelect USA!</p><p> </p><p>

Long story short, since having our first baby, who turns 1 month tomorrow, I have no more time to write. That said, I'm still playing this game, and updates will be posted in the "What's going on in my game" thread.
