The Climb [RMW, CVerse]

Theheel · August 25, 2019

Solid show all around despite the main event rating with the injury and chemistry issues. The DQ ending gave the baby face the win without the title change. I like that since it was Law’s first match. When does he get a rematch? Maybe he should have to jump through a couple of hoops (aka The other members of the Fallen).

Looking forward to the build to what should be a big Anniversary Show

TLCJR4LIFE · August 25, 2019

Sucks.

But one of the joys of TEW honestly, two over workers you think you have a barn burner on your hands, and BOOM, terrible chemistry and match out of nowhere.

Now you need to re-write the whole feud to adapt to the situation lol.

Weeeeeeeell, looks like Alicia Strong ain't goin' nowhere anytime soon

Kudos to you and Togg for that Johnny Anderson segment!

Really enjoyed catching up on this, once again the narratives really stand out as brilliant. Can we get a post of you singing the entirety of 'Even the Devil gets the blues' please?

In all seriousness though it would be cool if the album caught off in the c-verse and CWL suddenly had a bona fide music star on the roster. Although I imagine he'd then chose music full time over wrestling.

You really don't want a post of me singing even a snippet of one of the songs from Even the Devil Gets The Blues -- it would break your computer speakers, your headphones, your eardrums, heck... My singing is so bad it might hurt your other senses.

In other news, the last show of the 2023 year is coming. It's been run and is just waiting for me to add pictures and format it, which I should be able to do tonight. This week had back-to-back curriculum nights at the school I work for and because of my role, meant I didn't leave the job until close to 8PM each night and by the time I get home and get some dinner I haven't had the energy or desire to do anything other than sit on the couch and watch some TV before passing out.

We are coming to you from the Gorski Ballroom for what should be an action packed night of great professional wrestling. This is the final Saturday Night Slammaster of 2023. We want to thank those of you that joined us each and every week this year. We know for many of you this has been appointment viewing and match-maker “Pistol” Pete Hall made sure we end the year with a bang. RDJ: Yes he did Lee. He reached out to British Professional Wrestling and tonight, in our opening match, Alton Vicious, the brand new British Heavyweight Champion will step into the ring with former GWC World’s Heavyweight Champion Ross Henry in what should surely be a sensational contest. Shaw and Yoder are in action against Shadaloo and so much more. Let’s get right to ringside so we can get the action started! <img alt="GNkzKok.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GNkzKok.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Opening Match Singles Match Fifteen Minute time Limit <img alt="goVDjy6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/goVDjy6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kwBHUSB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kwBHUSB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> “The Boss” Ross Henry versus Alton Vicious In a decent match, Ross Henry defeated Alton Vicious in 14:07 by pinfall with an Earthquake Powerslam. <img alt="e5wmXmn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/e5wmXmn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45989" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="goVDjy6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/goVDjy6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Ross Henry is in the ring after his victory over newly minted British Heavyweight Champion. Ross wants an opportunity at the GWC World Heavyweight Championship. He wants another match and he believes that he has earned it. He’s beaten Spade, Starr, and now Vicious. He continues to be in great shape and to be a big match performer -- so he thinks the GWC should give him his rematch. <img alt="bNNwRE0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bNNwRE0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><div style="text-align:center;"></div><div></div></blockquote> Singles Match Fifteen Minute Time Limit <img alt="4xkd5UK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4xkd5UK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="aqKLAMW.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aqKLAMW.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MLsxKsR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MLsxKsR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="31AYHyY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/31AYHyY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Lightning Lomas versus Moloch w/ Father Grim In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Moloch defeated Lightning Lomas in 4:47 by <img alt="8x5Bau7.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8x5Bau7.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Singles Match Fifteen Minute Time Limit <img alt="y9l6Ubu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/y9l6Ubu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="PLb3ux0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PLb3ux0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> “The Hillbilly Hammer” Clyde Puder versus Vendetta In an extremely short match, Clyde Puder defeated Vendetta in 4:33 by pinfall with a Patriot Powerslam. <img alt="ZSlyKQ6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZSlyKQ6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Six Man Match Fifteen Minute Time Limit Number One Contender to Junior Heavyweight Championship <img alt="h4VCDrQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/h4VCDrQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="vRgfKUz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/vRgfKUz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="jpyzH9l.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jpyzH9l.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="s8Fc2vX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/s8Fc2vX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="1DJzMII.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1DJzMII.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="2rRLoHs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/2rRLoHs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="aOTXPeT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aOTXPeT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> KC Glenn versus Dale Kingman versus OJ Morris versus Miller Fforde versus The Architect versus Wesley Browning In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, KC Glenn defeated Dale Kingman, O.J.

The entire WNW staff, as well as many retired wrestling luminaries and some non-WNW wrestling writers all voted on these awards.Wrestler of the Year El Leon -- the masked luchador nabbed his fourth Wrestler of the Year award this year. At forty-one years old, one can only wonder how much longer the backbone of the SOTBPW roster can continue his impressive run. He trails only former SOTBPW ace Champagne Lover on the most all-time Wrestler of the Year Awards. Tag Team of the Year Blood Raven & El Leon -- SOTBPW's tag team division was stacked this year and Blood Raven continued his streak of tag team dominance. This is the fourth time he has won this award and it is El Leon's first. It is also the first time someone has won Wrestler of the Year and been apart of Tag Team of the Year.Young Wrestler of the Year Willie Frehely - This year, House of Stone graduate Willie Frehely takes the prize. At twenty-two years old, he is a three year pro that has continued to show the Stone Familiy's dominance at preparing wrestlers for the pro ranks. The House of Stone has produced five Young Wrestler of the Year award winners in the past six years.Veteran Wrestler of the Year Valiant - South of the Border Pro Wrestling takes home another awards, this time with forty-three year old Valiant. The American-born wrestler has been a major hit since moving to Mexico and has proven that he can translate to audiences regardless of language.Female Wrestler of the Year Joanne Rodriguez -- For the second time in her career, former AAA and current USPW standout Joanne Rodriguez takes home the prize. The forty-four year old grappler continues to have standout performances even in what is surely the twilight of her Hall of Fame career.Independent Wrestler of the Year Monty Trescarde - The former NYCW, SWF, and CWL standout has been tearing down the house in local companies all year. At the end of the year, he found himself headed to Hawaii for L-Ring, but not after earning high praise that at thirty-eight years old, he might be the best he's ever been.Company of the Year South of the Border Pro Wrestling - Mexico's premiere wrestling company continues to be the gold standard for wrestling companies across the world. For the seventh time, they have taken home this award. They boast an unparalleled roster and continue to pump out the best shows month in and month out.Most Improved Company of the Year North of the Border Pro Wrestling -- The Canadian company started the year off Cult, rose to National, but did fall back to Cult for part of the year only to end the year incredibly strong. The future is bright for Canada's oldest active promotion. Match of the Year Valliant def Pablo Rodriguez at LuchaMania 11 -- South of the Border Pro Wrestling's landmark LuchaMania event saw two veterans of the sport go toe to toe in one of the best matches of all time. The American Valliant defeated Lucha-Libre legend Pablo Rodriguez in a match that will surely stand the test of time.Show of the Year SOTBPW's Festival de Homenjae -- SOTBPW's April Pay Per View Offering was clearly the big event of the year. From the bottom of the card to the main event, the show delivered on every level. Fifty thousand fans sold out the Estadio Universitario, Tuxla and another half a million people purchased the event on Pay Per View, making it one of the most watched events of the year.Manager of the Year Lugi Marin - OLLIE's premiere manager took home the prize this year. Ths is the first time the fifty-year old manager has won the award. He's done great work in OLLIE so far and looks to have a bright future ahead of him in Mexico's number two promotion.Announcer of the Year Lee Bambino -- The thirty-eight year old American spent the year as the voice of Continental Wrestling League, the United States number for promotion. He had a great year at the broadcast booth, calling the best year of CWL action to date. Color Commentator of the Year Armando Cabailero - South of the Border Pro Wrestling's resident color man continues his run of dominance. For the seventh time, he brought home the coveted award. He is easily the best broadcaster in Mexico and is probably the best broadcaster in the world.Referee of the Year Shihei Nagano - PGHW's senior official and perhaps the best official of all time. Nagano has won the award for the seventh time. He has dominated this award since 2016, winning every year.</td><td style="width: 100px;"> </td></tr><tr><td style="width: 100px;"> </td><td style="width: 156.033px;"> </td><td style="text-align: left; vertical-align: top;">North of the Border GrowsNorth of the Border Pro Wrestling has officially been reclassified as a National promotion.

Has your company momentum decreased in the past 6 months or so?

I’m noticing a lot of your guys are getting much worse grades for solo promos than in the past.

Has your company momentum decreased in the past 6 months or so?

I’m noticing a lot of your guys are getting much worse grades for solo promos than in the past.

We lost a little bit of momentum from Christmas Chaos being so underwhelming. December, on the whole, wasn't a great month. We had a couple of lackluster SNSM's and the lackluster Christmas Chaos that we have to battle back from.

Hall of Fame Induction Returns

This year, the night before the Eight Anniversary at the same reception honoring the receipients of the 2023 CWL Year End Awards, we will see the Hall of Fame grow in size. It has been several years since any inductions have taken place.

It has been announced that one tag team will be inducted -- though both members will also be getting credit for their solo careers in CWL, and two more men will be inducted. Both of those men achieved success in the singles and tag ranks.

Who do you think will be the four men inducted to the Hall of Fame this year? Let us know!

Wow, America didn't do so well in general in 2023 - what was it, two end of year awards?

I struggle to keep up with this diary, but I love catching up! Gutting that the CC main event flopped, though, especially with it clearly being set up for a return match down the line...

That's showbiz sometimes! Fortunately, Torment is all healed up -- he was healed on like, the second day of 2024, so he won't be hampered by his knee any longer.

And nope. 2023 was a year dominated by SOTBPW -- except for Announcer of the Year! Go Lee, bringing some year end love to us.

I sat behind a desk that I both loved and loathed. The pages of the calendar had just turned to a new year and I was looking at a bright financial forecast, a bright future for my company and I should be feeling great about it, but at the same time, I wasn’t a young man anymore. I was sixty-three years old and had spent forty-five years of my life dedicated to the business that I loved. I felt something like Washington at the end of his Presidency when he wrote, “ am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence; and that, after forty five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.”

I did not think I was going to die soon. I also did not think I was going to retire soon, but I did contemplate it from time to time. Like on snowy January days when I was sitting at a desk in a building miles away from my wife. I could be home with her, enjoying the fruits of our mutual labor. I could be spending more time with Cora. I could garden. Not that that was likely. Today I just felt old. I felt every one of my forty-five years in the business. Every bump.

I took a drink from the steaming cup of coffee on my desk. We had just finished our best year in business. Lee Bambino was honored as the best announcer in wrestling. Spencer Spade, Riley McManus, Ross Henry, and Ash Campbell all finished in the top two hundred on the yearly 500 Best Wrestlers list. Anticipation for the eighth-anniversary show was incredibly high. Last year had provided us with our five best matches ever and sixteen of our best twenty matches. It was without a doubt our best year critically and commercially.

Yet here I was. Feeling some kind of way about my career. Truth be told, I missed being in the ring. There was no way I was going to get back in the ring, but I missed it. I missed *feeling* the roar of the crowd, not just hearing it. I missed being under the bright, hot lights. I missed running the ropes. I missed the sweat and the spit and the blood and my body slamming down into the wood. I missed tagging in Joel. I missed being in sync. I did not get in wrestling to promote and book. Sure, I liked promoting and booking. There was something satisfying in it. There was something rewarding about seeing a sold-out crowd and knowing that I promoted it. Or getting the ratings back and seeing over a million people were tuning in to see my company’s weekly television show. It was gratifying. I could see guys like Riley break out in a way he would have never if I didn’t give him the opportunity. All of that felt great, but when you were a wrestler you wanted to stay a wrestler.

So today I was unhappy. A surly, grouchy man behind his desk that was thankful that the office was empty and everything was quiet. I could just be miserable all by my damn self. I could wax poetic and look at our upcoming house show cards. I leaned back against the leather of my chair. My pen in my hand. Even though most of the work was done on the computer, I liked to hold a pen. I liked the feel of it. I could spin it between my fingers as I thought.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="6D57NFv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6D57NFv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div>

“Dad.” A voice said and I looked up. Marjorie stood there. She was not supposed to be here today. She was off. I looked at her. It was hard for me to remember that she was married now. She had just gotten married at Christmas to KC. She was a grown woman and not the little girl that would try to stay up late when I was home from the road just to spend time with me. She’d always wanted to spend time with me. More than Bobby and more than Matilda -- and yes, both my daughter’s names started with M just like my wife and yes I did that on purpose. Marjorie was the oldest. My first-born. As a father, you’re not supposed to have favorites, but you always do. Marjorie was my favorite. She was the most like me, except with the mind of her mother. She was also the one who was here in Denver. Bobby was off stationed in Australia, he met a woman at a beach down there and was enjoying being young and handsome and with a uniform. Matilda had just left to go back to school. She was studying Linguistics at MIT and was loving it. I was happy she was enjoying college. She was sharp as a tack but incredibly quiet. Had always been quiet.

“Dad.” Marjorie said again and I was reminded that I had not answered her. I had gotten lost in my thoughts.

“Yes?” I asked her.

“You got a second?”

This could not be good. “Of course.”

She came into the room. She had not taken her coat off. Her long, dark hair cascaded down her shoulders and she looked at me with the same eyes her mother had. “So. Um.”

“Go ahead. Say it.” I said. Was she leaving? Had she accepted an offer with a TV station? Was Eisen or Packer trying to poach her? Was Hollywood?

“I’m pregnant.” She said and I stared at her. She’d been pregnant before. She had given birth to a beautiful daughter. “I haven’t told Kevin yet.” She said nervously.

Something was off. She shouldn’t be nervous to tell her husband. Excited, sure. But nervous? “Why not?” I asked her and motioned for her to sit down. She did not listen. Stubborn like her mother too.

“When I was pregnant with Cora…” She trailed off for a moment. I didn’t interrupt. She’d find the words with time. “When I was pregnant with Cora, we had talked about that if we had a second kid I would quit working full-time. We thought it might be nice if there were two babies if one of us was home more often than not and I could be at home and write and do some editing while the kids napped.”

“But you don’t want to quit working full-time.”

“No. I don’t. I’m scared that if I tell him he’s going to push me to do that and I don’t want to do that Dad. I love working. I’m good at my job. I’m twenty-eight and I not only direct a television show that is seen by over a million people each week, I direct Pay Per View. I oversee a whole staff. I love coming to work. I don’t want to stop.” She said. She was looking to me for advice. To tell her what to do. Your children never stop needing you. They’ll pretend they don’t need you anymore. They may not need you as often, but every now and then they need mom or dad to help them.

“Is Kevin mean?”

“Of course not.”

“Does he yell?”

“Only when the Braves are losing.”

“Does he love you?”

“More than anything.”

“Then he’s not going to be mad at you. I know you don’t want to disappoint him. We never want to disappoint the person we marry, but Kevin understands you love your job. You’re still a great mom. You’ll continue to be a great mom. He’ll support your decision.” I told her. It was my job to tell her. To remind her that she married a genuinely good guy. He was a nerd, sure, but he had bought her her dream home. He had supported every decision she wanted to make. He wasn’t going to suddenly do an about-face and become an asshole or something.

She breathed a heavy sigh. “I know that you’re right, but I’m still scared. I shouldn’t be scared. I know that. I’m just nervous. We had a plan. I want to change that plan.”

“So talk to him about it. Calmly. Explain why.” I told her in between drinks of my coffee. “He’ll support you. He always does.”

She nodded her head and breathed again. “Thanks for listening dad.”

“Any time, punk.”

She turned and started to leave.

“Margie.” I called after her and she stopped and turned. “Congratulations. I can’t wait to be a grandad again.”

She just laughed and shook her head. “I love you.”

“I love you too, kid.”

Maybe today was not so bad after all.

Fact.

Well you might make a hillbilly blush over here.

Week 1, January 2024.

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 sould out Missouri State Armory for the very first episode of Saturday Night Slammasters here in 2024! What an episode we have for you tonight. There are two New Year’s Rumbles on the format tonight -- that’s right, TWO. Because of this, NCTV has given us a full two hours for tonight’s show.

RDJ: They did and I’m incredibly happy they did. The Women’s New Year’s Rumble will start the show and the male’s version will close the show. By the end of tonight, we will know who is challenging for the respective top titles for their gender at the Eighth Anniversary.

LB: Tonight is an amazing opportunity for many competitors. Who will step up? Who will walk out with a championship opportunity? Plus the Television Championship is on the line. Let’s not waste any more time.

“The Headhunter” Jeffery Aroma is in the ring with a microphone. He has vanquished every member of Bowen Services that has stood in front of him. He has been on a warpath to right the wrongs he has done in his career and he has added many heads to his trophy case. But there is one head that he is missing. That is the crown jewel in Lisa Bowen’s fiefdom. Spencer Spade. Spade’s suspension is up and Aroma wants him at the Eighth Anniversary Special.

Spade comes out with Lisa Bowen. He looks refreshed from his sixty-day banishment. He lets Jeffery Aroma know that while yes, he has been successful so far, Spencer Spade is a whole different breed of animal. There is a reason that he is the Supreme Star. There is a reason he is the measuring stick for what it means to be a true sports entertainer and not just a professional wrestler. Spencer tells Jeffery that at The Eighth Anniversary show he is going to teach Jeffery Aroma the difference.

Opening Match

Women's New Year's Rumble

20 Woman Rumble

Number One Contender to North American Women’s Championship

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Nadia Snow won a battle royal in 35:01. The other members of the 'final four' were Pearl Flanders, Jaime Quine and Alicia Strong, with Pearl Flanders being the final elimination. Queen Amazon got the most eliminations over the course of the match; Amber Allen set the record for surviving the longest.

Singles Match

Twenty Minute Time Limit

vs

In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Leon Pena defeated Dale Kingman in 5:47 by pinfall with an Easy Palm Strike. Leon Pena makes defence number 6 of his CWL Television title.

Kingman and Pena don’t seem to click

Rick Law is backstage. He came to CWL to administer justice, he came here to be a beacon of light in the darkness that the Fallen was swallowing the CWL. At Christmas Chaos, he knew he was going to beat Torment but Torment did not respect the authority of the official and it got him disqualified. Law mentions that he knows that there is the New Year’s Rumble tonight to name a contender to Torment, but he’s spoken with “Pistol” Pete and at the Eighth Anniversary it will actually be a triple threat match!
B+

Main Event

New Year’s Rumble

Thirty Man Rumble

Number One Contender to North American Heavyweight Championship

In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Clyde Puder won a battle royal in 59:49. The other members of the 'final four' were Casey Valentine, Hollywood Bret Starr and Matty Faith, with Casey Valentine being the final elimination. Primus Allen got the most eliminations over the course of the match; Cameron Vessey set the record for surviving the longest.

“The Hillbilly Hammer” Clyde Puder stands in the center of the ring. He has just won the New Year’s Rumble and stamped his ticket in the North American Championship match at the Eighth Anniversary. He looks out at the crowd. They applaud the big man for his effort.
