Historian · July 4, 2019

Pete pulled the Stetson off of his head and dropped it crown-down onto the passenger seat. Most people don’t realize that when you’re not wearing a cowboy hat, it goes upside down. You don’t rest it on its brim. Resting a hat on its brim was a sure fire way to get the hat to lose shape. Pete had made that mistake as a much younger man. Learned the lesson the hard way and never repeated it. Stetson’s weren’t cheap. Nor was any other brand worth wearing on your head.

Pete rubbed his meaty hand through his grey hair. He was no spring chicken. He wasn’t in the prime of his life. He had more miles in the rearview than he did in the windshield. He was sixty-one years old and forty-three of those years had been spent in the pro wrestling business. He’d spent almost the entirety of his career in Japan or as a trainer or agent or something in America. He had been the GCG World Champion. The BCG World Champion. Had almost lost the ability to walk because of the wrestling business. It took two surgeries to fix the knee -- and bring him back to wrestling thirteen years after he retired and gave him another decade of active competition.

He had run his own company -- WPL. He had booked YA for Mitch Naess. He had worked as an agent for AWW. Today, he had been promoted. Given a new position inside the Continental Wrestling League. He had been made the Vice President of Wrestling Operations. It was not something he had expected. He had been brought in to be a creative advisor and an on-air personality. He didn’t expect to get the official position, but Robert offered it to him. With the new company structure -- with it being a corporation now instead of a limited liability company, they were restructuring.

Pete had no idea why Robert trusted him. They had met a few times over the years. Robert had never been in the same territory at the same time as Pete, but both were old school guys. They’d been around forever. Between the two of them they had eighty-seven years of experience in the wrestling business. Both of them had spent their entire adult lives in the profession.

They were the last of a dying breed, Pete and Robert. Dinosaurs. Relics of a time long past. Among the small group of men and women still alive that could say they’d been in the business for over forty years and were still active. Most of the others had left the business. They had retired to be grandparents and golfers and real estate agents or car dealership owners or sit on the board of education or local governments or whatever. Some had died. Robert and Pete were men who had cut their teeth in wrestling before Eisen had owned everything. Before the millionaires and then billionaires threw their money at the business.

So maybe Pete did know why Robert chose him. Outside of Darren Smith, Pete was the only other guy around that had that experience. That understood Robert’s vision. That would execute the vision and not try to change it. Continental Wrestling League was simple. Pro wrestling as it was meant to be. Hard hitting matches. Sometimes brawls. Sometimes technical. Sometimes hybrid styles. Lots of tag team wrestling. Simple story telling. Not a lot of gimmick matches.

Pete turned the key in the ignition of his truck. It was a long drive back to “Six Shot Ranch” where Pete lived, but it was a drive that was worth it. At sixty-one years old, he was the number two executive in the number four wrestling company in the United States. Who would have thought?

“Go again.” His deep voice with that heavy Texas drawl called out. The students in the ring nodded and went through the exchange again. Tackle. Drop Down. Leap Frog. Hip Toss. “Again,” Ricky called out. He was the head trainer of the Rocky Mountain School of Wrestling. He took pride in that title. He took pride in being the coach for these kids.

Ricky had been an athlete in his youth. Nose tackle. Middle linebacker. Tight end. Whatever position the coaches had needed, Ricky gave them. He also threw a hell of a knuckleball and circle changeup. He understood the importance of good coaching. When he turned pro as a wrestler and made his debut for the Texas Wrestling League -- he had relied on good coaching then. Professor Nero, Shiek Mustafa, Captain USA, and Corporal Doom had been his coaches. Experienced guys who understood how to work and helped the big man get over. Captain USA had shown Ricky had to be a babyface. All four of those men had helped him and The Outlaw II -- the man who would become Liberty -- have a multiple-year spanning feud that saw both men become workers who got contracts from HCG at the end. They also helped him and the man who would become known as Skull DeBones -- but was then known as Winchester -- develop into a hell of a tag team.

Coaching had helped Ricky become a star. It helped him overcome being saddled as a Cowboy in the mid-to-late-90’s on a wrestling show from Hollywood that didn’t want to see a stereotypical cowboy. LA wasn’t a cowboy town. HGC didn’t attract an audience that would respond to that, but good coaching helped him overcome the odds and become a three time International and three-time time World Heavyweight Champion.

So here he was giving back. He had put out several talents. His nephew Dave Derringer. Johnny Rain. Serena Savage. Janet Masters. Howard Marquardt. He had a couple of kids in the program now that were going to be stars. He’d just finished training Brody Irons -- a kid he thought would be the next megastar in professional wrestling, but time would tell.

“Switch,” Ricky called out. He hadn’t told anyone yet. He had not told them about the conversation he had had with Robert Oxford. The conversation that meant he was now more than just the head trainer and color commentator of the television program. Ricky Dale Johnson was now the Vice President of Talent Relations. The number three man in the organization. Robert Oxford was trusting Ricky Dale Johnson to scout talent. To train talent. To negotiate deals. With Sean McFly as the assistant trainer of the school, Ricky knew he could do the job. He was happy to do the job. It expanded his role as a coach and he was happy for that.

He had known Robert Oxford for almost thirty years. They had worked together in HCG/TCW for almost twenty years together. Ricky trusted Robert implicitly. He was loyal to Robert and Robert was loyal to him. Now, along with Pete Hall, they formed a three-man team with loads of experience. The kids, KC, Riley, and Marjorie were on the board of directors and Marjorie was still overseeing Television production while KC and Riley were learning the business end of things. Riley was working a lot with Robert on creative. KC was working a lot with both Robert and Pete. Learning how to run a wrestling company. Marjorie was doing the same while still overseeing the production of television and pay per view content -- something she was incredibly good at.

Ricky looked at the kids in the ring. Neither of them were destined to be stars. They might not even make it through the class. He had to make the decision now. He was training them and he would be responsible for signing them if they were good enough. He scratched the base of his neck and leaned forward against the ring apron. “Let’s do that one more time.”

Joel Bryant held the clipboard in his hand and looked up at the new signees standing in front of him. It was an interesting group of guys.

"Welcome to Texas Grappling League. This is going to be your home until you either get called up to the main roster or no longer work here. We've got a good crew down here. Experienced hands. Rookies. We work hard. If you listen and apply yourself, the sky is the limit. If you choose to disrespect the business, disrespect the coaches, go into business for yourself, or otherwise find someway to metaphorically jerk off in my ring, you won't last long. I've been in this business for thirty-four years. That's longer than any of you have been alive. This business is my life. I love this business with everything I have. Every fiber of my being. Trust me when I say, I love this business more than I like any one of you, but work hard, and you will earn my respect and I may come to like each of you."

He paused and looked around at the faces of the guys he was talking to.

"I know I come off like a hardass. Like some mean old veteran -- and some times I am that. But I am also your head coach and I want to see you do well. I will support you as long as you're doing what you're told. Any questions."

No hands go up.

"Okay. So let's meet each of you then."

He looks down at his clipboard.

Size: Big Heavyweight

Craig St. Pierre is a Brawler, trained at the Mid Atlantic Boot Camp, who joined the world of pro wrestling in July 2023. From Alabama, he is 6'6 and 319lbs and naturally plays the fan-favourite. He is well suited to playing bad asses. He uses the 'Summer Bulldog' as a finisher. </div>

"You're a big bastard Craig. You trained with Sam Keith right."

Craig St. Pierre nods his head.

"Sam knows what's he's doing. He's a good trainer. Welcome aboard, kid. You're locker number 86. Go put your stuff away and start loosening up."

Craig hustles off to do as he was told and Joel looks down at the next name.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="FGsWZB4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FGsWZB4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Ryan Jang

Age: 24

Size: Bulky Big Heavyweight

Ryan Jang is a Brawler, trained at the Golden Dojo, who joined the world of pro wrestling in December 2020. The Indonesian is 6'6 and 322lbs and is able to play face and heel. He is good at brutish characters and gimmicks. He utilises the 'Atomic Choke Bomb' as a finisher. </div>

"What's your ethnic background, Jang?"

RJ: "I'm Indonesian, Sir."

"Have you ever met Brent Watson before? He works here too."

RJ: "No Sir, I haven't."

"Well, make sure you introduce yourself. The two of you could be a modern version of Savage Fury or Samoan Demolition Inc, or something. I have plans to team the two of you up. I think you could do big things."

RJ: "Yes Sir. I will Sir."

"Good. I like the respect. You're locker number 75. Put your stuff away, meet Brent, and start getting loosened up for morning drills."

Ryan Jang nods his head and hustles off. Joel looks back down at his clipboard. There are only three men in front of him now.

Albert Turnbull

Age: 23

Size: Toned Light Heavyweight

Albert Turnbull is a Regular Wrestler, trained at the WWA: Australia, who turned pro in April 2021. Hailing from Melbourne, he is 6'2 and 270lbs and is a born heel. He represented Australia in the Olympics as a wrestler. He plays legitimate gimmicks well. He uses the 'Deadline Screwdriver' as a finisher.</div>

"Turnbull. You were in the Olympics, correct?"

AT: "I was, coach. I placed fourth."

"Why didn't you medal?"

AT: "Truthfully? I just wasn't good enough."

"I appreciate your honesty. With your athletic pedigree, you could go far, kid. Keep your head down and put in the work."

AT: "I will coach."

"Locker number 19 is free. That's you. You know the drill by now."

Turnbull nods and exits, leaving just two. The two prized signings.

Malachai Roaring Bear

Age: 19

Size: Ripped Heavyweight

Malachai Roaring Bear is a Hunkpapa Lakota was born and raised on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota. He spent most of his life in the Cannon Ball section of the reservation -- in a shotgun house that overlooked the Cannonball River. He had a troubled start to his life. Indian Reservations are known for poverty and addiction. His family life was no different. They were dirt poor. His father was in and out of prison for petty crimes fueled by an addiction he could not beat. His mother worked as best she could, but she had no real education to speak of and options for an Indian woman with five kids and no formal education were not good. Malachai was the second eldest -- he has an older sister, but she passed away his freshman year of high school from an OD. Malachai used this as motivation. He excelled as a high school football player and had several scholarship opportunities, but he shunned those in favor of moving to Hawaii to enrol in the Supreme Wrestling Unversity. His dream was to be the next Cheif Two Eagles. To be a Native American star. He wanted to bring pride to the Lakota tribe and his reservation -- but he also wanted to uplift his family out of poverty. He was not signed to a deal with SWF upon graduation from training camp, but CWL was there with an offer so he took it. He's 6'6" and 302". A natural heel -- though he can play face as well. Right now he's using a running kick as a finish, but that could change.</div>

"Why didn't the Empire want you, Malachai? You seem tailormade to be a success there."

MRB: "Short-sighted foolishness."

"Explain."

MRB: "They said their RIPW roster was full and they were not ready to call anyone up. Said I could go to the indies and cut my teeth and get a deal later."

"And why did you sign with us?"

MRB: "If I'm going to cut my teeth, it's going to be in a developmental program to make a main roster. Not toil away for seventy five bucks a night."

"You don't want to pay dues."

MRB: "I don't believe paying dues means I have to suffer financially."

Joel grinned at this. This was a young man who knew what he wanted. Who believed he had worth and value. That kind of attitude -- the belief in oneself and ultimately the desire to make money in this business was what turned guys into stars. It gave them the extra edge. It meant they weren't satisfied being just another guy.

"Locker number 31. You know the drill."

Roaring Bear didn't say anything as he walked away and left Joel Bryant with the last one of the group.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="17QYC07.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/17QYC07.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

"The Arctic Wolf" Brody Irons

Age: 19

Size: Muscular Big Heavyweight

Irons is a product of the Rocky Mountain School of Wrestling. Originally from Anchorage, Alaska, the young man left his home upon graduating high school and travelled to the premier training ground for professional wrestlers. In high school, he was a standout hockey player known for being the enforcer of his team. He helped lead his team, Chugiak, to three state championships. At six feet eight and three hundred and fourteen pounds, he has the size to become a star. He was highly touted in training camp as perhaps being the best prospect the Rocky Mountain School of Wrestling had ever seen -- and this is including a prospect list that has seen Clyde Puder, Jakob Yoder, the Devil’s Rejects and so many more over the past seven years. It was said that when Irons walked into the school all of the heads turned. Head trainer Ricky Dale Johnson was quoted as saying this kid could be the next Sam Strong -- or perhaps bigger. Irons has shown great aptitude as a brawler and supposedly has a natural charisma and microphone skill that could propel him to superstardom. It’s also rumoured that Irons has been given the longest contract of any prospect CWL has ever had. He will be starting his professional career in the Texas Grappling League, but as highly touted of a prospect as he is, we here at CWL.com do not expect him to stay down for long.</div>

"Everyone has told me you're the real deal. They've told me that you're the guy...The one to watch. The next big star in this business."

Brody Irons shrugs.

"You don't feel any kind of way about them saying that?"

BI: "I think that in thirty years, there is going to be a generation of kids getting into professional wrestling because of Brody Irons."

"So you do think you're the next big star?"

BI: "No. Thinking it implies that I could be wrong. I am the next big star in wrestling. I'm going to be the biggest thing since Sam Strong. I'm going to be the one who lifts CWL to the number one spot in the whole world."

"You've got a lot of people counting on you to do that."

BI: "I know. And they won't be disappointed."

"Good. You're locker number 65."

BI: "Okay. I'll go get ready."

Irons lumbers off and Bryant looks after him.

"He could make it. This is a good group of guys. They sent me some good ones... But if he and Bear can keep their heads on straight. God damn they could change the world."

Morti · July 4, 2019

The new guys seem very interesting!

I love Brody Iron's confidence, and I like Ryan Jang's look a lot!

christmas_ape · July 4, 2019

Really enjoyed both those posts. Future looks interesting with those recruits. One question; is that true about leaving hats upside down?

DarK_RaideR · July 4, 2019

Quite the way to make a comeback! The narratives are great as usual, as is the new crop of guys, but I'd like to point out that SNSM has a line-up smaller promotions would wet the bed for, and that's on an episode of free TV. Really upping the ante there.

P.S. Couldn't care less about generic blonde musclehead #98234569 with a wolf slapped over his crotch. Push Malachai Roaring Bear! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

King Bison · July 4, 2019

The write up for your new developmental workers was fantastic imo love hearing about the next generation and who to watch. And don’t pay attention to Dark Raider lol if it wasn’t muscular blonde men most of us wouldn’t even be wrestling fans right now <img alt="

It wasn't as much about upping the ante as that was the last SNSM of the month. All of those talents did not make it onto the PPV and I didn't want the month to end and them not get anything to do. I view the final SNSM like an extension of the PPV (which is why the announcers never spoil the results -- but also because technically the show is taped before the PPV)

P.S. Couldn't care less about generic blonde musclehead #98234569 with a wolf slapped over his crotch. Push Malachai Roaring Bear!

That's not just a wolf! That's an Arctic Wolf! And when the CVerse gods bless you with a Sam Strong and a Chief Two Eagles regen in the same month, you have to take both of them! Both, hopefully, will play big, big parts in our future!

EBEZA · July 5, 2019

Excellent return! <img alt="

Week 1, July 2023.

Filmed at: The Den [New England, USA]

In Attendance: 2,000 [sELL OUT]

Rating: 2.10 [1,575,190 viewers]

Commentators: Lee Bambino & Ricky Dale Johnson

LB: Hello and welcome to another exciting and thrill-packed episode of Saturday Night Slammasters. We are coming to you from the sold-out Den and we are one week removed from Summer Spectacular. It was an incredible show that saw a new Women’s Champion and new Tag Team Champions crowned. Riley McManus managed to withstand another of the Fallen -- but will he have to stand against Torment -- the final member of the Fallen? I’m sure we will find out.

RDJ: Don’t forget that tonight Alexander Vasquez attempts to make his seventh Television Championship defence. If he is successful, the championship is vacated and Vasquez gets a shot at Funakoshi and his United States Championship.

LB: That’s actually our first match, so let’s go ringside for the introductions.

Opening Match

Singles Match

Twenty Minute Time Limit

Kurt Cummo versus “The Butcher” Alexander Vasquez ©

In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Alexander Vasquez defeated Kurt Cummo in 18:09 by submission. Alexander Vasquez makes defence number 7 of his CWL Television title.

HG: My mama was so proud. When she watched the Summer Spectacular PPV out on our familial estate and she saw my Dynamite Express become the North American Tag Team Champions -- she knew she’d done the right thing in securing me their contracts. She knew the right decision had been made and that this was what I was meant to do. Now here we are! Tag Team Champions. I’m sure the Heartbreak Express are made, but let’s face facts. The Dynamite Express and Henry Garner are what is happening in tag team wrestling. Now my mama promised me since we won the belts, we get to go on a vacation down to a private resort in Mexico where the booze is cheap and the ladies plentiful. So boys, let’s get to the airport.

Six Man Tag

Fifteen Minute Time Limit

Skip Beau & The Fighting Irish versus Hammer Hadley & the European Stretching Crew

In a bout that had decent wrestling but non-existent crowd heat, Hammer Hadley and European Stretching Crew defeated Skip Beau and The Fighting Irish in 9:46 when Hammer Hadley defeated Jason O'Conner by pinfall with a Lariat.

AS: I watched the tournament for the North American Women’s Championship with intense focus. I wanted to know who I would have to wrestle to get back the championship that I elevated. The championship that I really put on the map. The women’s division was struggling until I came here. I elevated it. I brought prestige and respect to the Continental Wrestling League's women division. It was my sweat and my name and my hard work. Now who is the champion? Some country bumpkin. Some newcomer. Pearl Flanders. I don’t know who she is but I know this… She’s just keeping that belt warm for me. At Independence, I’m bringing that belt back to where it belongs.

DS: Talia… Selina… Your attack on us at Summer Spectacular was completely uncalled for. We won the match fair and square. We didn’t cheat. We didn’t fight dirty. We defend our belts with honor and you took the cheap way out. You didn’t have respect for us or for the belts.

MG: And you probably think you were slick in the process, but you’re not. Danielle and I aren’t new. We didn’t fall off of the turnip truck yesterday. We’ve been around. We’ve won regional championships all the way up to the North American Women’s Titles. We proudly hold these. This ain’t over… Not by a long shot.

Eight Woman Tag

Fifteen Minute Time Limit

Amber Allen, Jaime Quine, & Ladies Night versus Tiffany Jade, Brooke Tyler & The Uprising

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Tiffany Jade, Brooke Tyler and The Uprising defeated Amber Allen, Jaime Quine and Ladies Night in 11:43 when Talia Quinzel defeated Amber Allen by pinfall with a Spinal Trauma.

We are thrown to a completely dark area. Candlelight flickers on above the head of Father Grim. It is being held, presumably, by the hand of the monster Torment. We can only see shadows of Torment’s face as the light dances off his mask. Grim breathes deeply.

“All around the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel. The monkey stopped to pull up his sock and pop goes the weasel. Riley McManus has been chasing his own weasel. His own fame. He wants to be a household name. He’s chased it for so long. For seven and a half years here, he has chased it. He has made it his mission to be the epitome of the company man. He believes, foolishly, it has brought him to where he wants -- but instead it has brought him to where I want. At Independence, Riley McManus has to do battle with the last real monster on this planet. The movies conjur up all of their monsters in a hope to scare you, but Torment? He isn’t a movie creature. There are no special effects here. No creature make up. He is real. He is unstoppable and at Independence, he will finally reveal the truth to Riley McManus.”

Funakoshi, David Stone, & Mikey James versus Bowen Services w/ Lia Bowen

Week 2, July 2023.

Filmed at: Ellison’s [Hawaii, USA]

In Attendance: 4,586

Rating: 2.11 [1,589,830 viewers]

Commentators: Lee Bambino & Ricky Dale Johnson

LB: Hello and welcome to another exciting and thrill-packed episode of Saturday Night Slammasters. We are coming to you from Ellison’s -- overlooking the Pacific Ocean here in beautiful Hawaii -- one of our favorite places to present professional wrestling. The just over 4,500 fans in attendance are clammering for the kind of action you only get with the Continental Wrestling League comes to your town and tonight will be no different.

RDJ: Tonight we have a twenty man battle royal to find out who will be our new Television Champion after Alexander Vasquez earned a shot at Funakoshi and the United States Championship. A six woman tag is scheduled for tonight with the North American Women’s and Women’s Tag Team champions teaming up against their respective opponents at Independence… Plus in our main event, a huge tag match as the Georgia Bulldogs team up to face the Diaz Cousins.

LB: It’s a stacked show, but before we get to the battle royal, the Heartbreak Express, former Tag Team Champions are standing by backstage.

JN: Y’know, Ralph and I spent all of last week trying to figure out where we went wrong. Where did we falter? We became North American Tag Team Champions! We beat the Diaz Cousins to do so. We won the Oxford Invitational. We have been a roll. We thought, maybe we got too cocky. Maybe we thought we were unbeatable and we just got caught. But no. That’s not it.

RL: No it’s not Johnny. It’s not it at all. What it is -- is we got caught by a team that wasn’t afraid to use their new manager to make sure they got the victory. We got caught by a team that has some rich, spoiled, mama’s boy on the outside and were willing to use him.

JN: That’s right Ralph. We didn’t get beat by a better team. We didn’t get beat because we got out wrestled. We got beat because we had a team that didn’t want to play by the rules and that’s fine. Ralph and I aren’t complaining. We’re not crying over spilt milk or sayin’ there was foul play that we can’t handle. We’re saying that clearly the rules were different for the Dynamite Express. They wanted to have a different kind of match.

RL: And we’re down for that. ‘Cause Johnny and I aren’t afraid of a good fight. Oh no. We love a good fight. So if the Express want one… We’ll give it to them.

Opening Match

20 Man Mayhem Battle Royal

No Time Limit

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Ranger won a 20 Man Mayhem in 19:53. The other members of the 'final four' were Hammer Hadley, Jakob Yoder and Franklin Rush, with Hammer Hadley being the final elimination. Kip Keenan got the most eliminations over the course of the match. Ranger wins the CWL Television title.

AV: I have become the first man to successfully defend the Television Championship seven times. I have become the first man to cash it in for a shot at the United States Championship and an opportunity at Funakoshi. I respect his accomplishments. I respect the kind of warrior he is. A man who represents the Japanese fighting spirit. I respect him, but that doesn’t mean I like him and it doesn’t mean that he’s going to walk out of Independence with the United States Championship. I’ve spent my entire life tearing things apart. Breaking them down. Attacking weaknesses.

Six Woman Tag

Fifteen Minute Time Limit

Pearl Flanders & Ladies Night versus Alicia Strong & The Uprising

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Alicia Strong and The Uprising defeated Pearl Flanders and Ladies Night in 11:59 when Alicia Strong defeated Danielle Sweetheart by pinfall with a Strong Arm Tactic.

Amber Allen versus Harriet Blais

In a bout that had great wrestling but didn't have much heat, Harriet Blais defeated Amber Allen in 11:07 by submission with a Burning Hold after blatantly cheating.

RH: Spencer Spade. I want my belt back. I want the World Championship back. Quit running. You stole it from me. You stole it from me and I want it back. Quit hiding. Quit ducking. Quit doing whatever it is you’re doing to avoid giving me the rematch I deserve. I want my belt back.

“The Canadian Wrestling Machine” David Stone versus Keith Holly w/ February Malaise

In a bout that had superb wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, David Stone defeated Keith Holly in 13:33 by pinfall.

MF: Hellion. I’m tired. I’m tired of getting jumped. I’m tired of sneak attacks. I’m tired of having to watch behind my back. You want to dance, big man… let’s dance. At Independence, I’ll give you a chance at the World Openweight Championship. I’ll give you a chance to prove your mettle. You want a piece of me? I’m going to make it easy for you. I won’t be hard to find. I’ll be in the ring at Independence.

The video feed opens and we are back in the Diaz Cousin compound. At their gym that is outdoors but still under the protection of the metal overhang. Logan and James look at the camera.

Logan, “It’s the Diaz Cousins. Aka about to be strapped out. Aka welcome to the Diaz compound. Aka bring yo’ ass. Aka we’ll pile yo’ ass up. Aka who want it? Aka I don’t think they want it. Aka don’t call me no bull crap, call me talking money. Aka who you with? Aka the baddest mother f…”

James “Hey. Simmer down. We don’t want to get fined again for being too real. For being too us. For being two guys they can’t control and they know they can’t control.”

Logan, “You’re right. I got to check myself. ‘Cause I’m fired up. I’m fired up ‘cause we just beat the Georgia Bulldogs. Right after we beat Homegrown in a dog collar match. We on fire. And we got our eyes on a prize. We got our eyes on the World Tag Team Championship. We got our eyes on the Keith Brothers.”

James, “Sons of Sam Keith. They say y’all the best family in wrestling. Greg and Matt. Ain’t no second generations better than them. But hold up. I’m second generation.”

Logan, “And I’m part of a wrestling family. We the Diaz family. We the ass kickers. We ain’t submission wrestlers. Ain’t no Proton locks with us. Ain’t no fancy catch-as-catch-can wrestlin’ with us.”

James, “Hell no. We punch dudes in the mouth. We knock their teeth out. We boys that fight. And Logan here. Don’t forget. Logan’s a two time state champion wrestler from Florida. If he’s gotta take it to the mat, he can. He’d just rather bunch you.”

Logan, “That’s right. And Greg. Matt. I can’t say we don’t respect y’all. Y’all been around the world. Y’all won titles all around the world. I can respect that. Y’all won the Oxford Invitational before. Greg’s won the Gold Rush. Y’all are accomplished. We’re not going to pretend like you ain’t. But you ain’t us.”

James, “Hell nah you ain’t us.”

Logan, “Y’all ain’t willing to fight like we’re willing to fight. Y’all ain’t been through dog collar matches. Y’all ain’t been here since day one. Y’all didn’t build this. See, people forget that I was here in that first year. That I helped build this company. James has been here his whole career. His whole damn career. First triple crown champion, James Diaz. My cousin. He did it. No one else. Him. I’m a two time North American Heavyweight Champion, less y’all forgot about that. Forgot what we can do. Forgot what we’re capable of. Forgot what we do. We win. We get the job done. We win belts. And we’re comin’ for those World Tag Team Titles.”

James, “You better believe we’re coming for them.”

Logan, “So shine them up for us, boys. Get ‘em ready. ‘Cause you got about two weeks left with them and then they coming home with us.”

I'm hyped from the Diaz promo that was great. Independence is shaping up real good.

Morti · July 6, 2019

If I have any new readers, or for veteran readings looking to relive -- if you go to the first page of the diary, where the show history is, you will notice that 2016 and 2017's show histories have been replaced. I have collected all of my posts from those two years, shows, narratives, etc... and made PDFs for the individual years. This allows people to read through the story with out having to click from tab to tab, as well as remove all of the predictions and any extra posts from the reading block. It is just narratives, show cards, and show results.

Quick Picks for Independence

Comments: I'm not sure who will stop Riley

Comments: I like how the Diaz Cousins have been portrayed, it's a bit different to how I usually see them so I'm all for them winning here.

Comments: I think this is a bad night for Father Grim

Grudge Match: Jeffery Aroma vs. Cameron Vessey w/ Lisa Bowen

Comments:

Comments: I was one of the only people to back her before, gosh darn it I'll back her again

CWL N.A. Tag Team Championship: The Heartbreak Express vs. The Dynamite Express © w/ Henry Garner

Comments: Manager shenanigans leads to retention

Comments: He cashed in his title, got to give it to The Butcher

Comments: Going with another champion retention

Comments: How on earth did The Minor Annoyance get employed, let alone a title <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> This game world is brilliant!

King Bison · July 8, 2019

Comments: I withhold my prediction since I know the outcome lol

Comments:Diaz Cousins get a good dominant victory over the Keith brothers

Comments: Matty Faith is a solid champion. He’ll defeat the American Hellspawn

Grudge Match: Jeffery Aroma vs. Cameron Vessey w/ Lisa Bowen

Comments: Predicting a solid win here for Aroma

Comments: Strong wins the title back

CWL N.A. Tag Team Championship: The Heartbreak Express vs. The Dynamite Express © w/ Henry Garner

Comments: I think the heels take it after some interference from their manager

Comments: Funakoshi should always win

Comments:

Comments: Minor Annoyance has no business winning a match much less being a champion

christmas_ape · July 8, 2019

Comments: Riley seems like a good champ from what I've read.

Comments: Their promo sold me

Comments:

Grudge Match: Jeffery Aroma vs. Cameron Vessey w/ Lisa Bowen

Comments: Aroma's promo got a decent rating, but I do not like the name. I'd assume Vessey has more potential.

Comments: Even though she's the champ it would be a career defining win

CWL N.A. Tag Team Championship: The Heartbreak Express vs. The Dynamite Express © w/ Henry Garner

Comments:

Comments: A real shame after Vasquez's journey, but I'm sure there's other things he can do!

Comments:

There's no need for all the TMA hate, he's not even THAT annoying. The perfect underdog story if you ask me.

BigJay2003 · July 8, 2019

Comments: I don't think Torment has the ability to carry the belt for a run, so let Riley keep it up until one of the bigger heels takes it.

Comments: The faces needs something to chase. Might as well make it the Diaz Cousins (who I now love).

Comments: Faith has a big future, and I don't think you sacrifice it for Hellion.

Grudge Match: Jeffery Aroma vs. Cameron Vessey w/ Lisa Bowen

Comments: Without Bowen, not sure that Aroma goes very far. Maybe he reunited with McManus?

Comments: I don't really know here. But String could push Flanders to the next level by taking the L.

CWL N.A. Tag Team Championship: The Heartbreak Express vs. The Dynamite Express © w/ Henry Garner

Comments: Garner's boys aren't losing. Maybe they walk off and lose by countout, but they aren't dropping the titles.

Comments: Hope I'm wrong, but it doesn't make much sense to lose the challenge after defending the TV Title 7 times...

Comments: I have enjoyed seeing the ladies tag division getting its run.

Comments: Is James still on a talent trade? Either way, get the belt on a stud that can bring it with him to CWL.
