He had found out about the plans Sam and Peter had together with the rest of the world, during the opening segment of the fourteenth ever Rip Chord Invitational. Sam had told me a few days before the show, when he asked me to fit in some air time for him and Pete to drop the bomb. He'd also asked me to not tell Lee, which is what I did. He was so surprised he never even thought I might have known in advance. The two men, legitimate legends in the business both, noded. Michaels put a hand on Lee's shoulder.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="hGRwOwP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hGRwOwP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <em>"We're too big for Piledriver, Lee. I don't wanna see us bleed the promotion dry.

I know now MAW's legacy is safe with you. The Confederation of the Territories is in good hands. Everything Rip and I did won't have been in vain. Now it's time to cut myself some slack and focus on running the Boot Camp. You might wanna consider something like that yourself. We're not getting any younger, Lee. You're gonna burn out fast running both a promotion and a dojo."</em></p><p> </p><p> Their words were emotional and so was the moment, even if we all knew it would still be a few months before their contracts formally expired. The announcement was for integrity reasons. Sam and Pete only showed up for the big shows and neither man would be around by the time the Sam Keith Classic would roll around in July, so they said their on-screen goodbye at the Rip Chord Invitational. We shook hands, some hugs were shared and an appointment for drinks later that night was agreed, then they left the office, leaving me and Lee on our own.</p><p> </p><p> <em>"Sh*t, Sam's right"</em> Lee confessed with a sigh as he let his weight carry him to drop onto an armchair. Poor man, he'd already been through the stress of pulling off one of the biggest, if not <span style="text-decoration:underline;">the</span> biggest annual event in independent wrestling, then the departure of Keith and Michaels, now he was left with thoughts about his own future. <em>"What do you think, Sheiky?"</em></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="lh2JDXB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lh2JDXB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p> <em>This is my awkward face</em></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em>"I think you should give yourself a break and join the rest of the infidels for a beer"</em> I said, the panic causing me to keep the vocabulary but drop the tone. <em>"You just put up the best Rip Chord Invitational ever, out of all fourteen. Come celebrate"</em> I added, before leaving the room. I wasn't exaggerating either, I knew wrestling media had rated past Invitationals in the 2 to 2,5 star region and ours was a solid 3, first time we ever hosted it.</p><p> </p><p> That was the past though and I needed to focus on the future. Keith's suggestion seemed to strike a nerve with Lee and as much as I didn't want to tell him, it should have. He was 61 years old. If he was going to bring in someone to take over the school or company, I had to make sure it was the right person. Someone who could lead the class as well as the locker room. Someone who understood our product. Someone who was young enough to take over after Lee was gone.

DarK_RaideR Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 War for Territory #14 Piledriver Wrestling Presents War for Territory #14 Saturday, Week 2 February, 2019 Live from the Delaware Auditorium, DE Lisa Bowen accompanies the new Piledriver United States champion to the ring as the show begins. Taking a moment to get on the mic, she hypes up her new client and of course herself who guided him to championship gold as soon as they struck a deal. ww Piledriver United States title match Jebediah © (with Lisa Bowen) vs "Killer" Carl Bernard (with Sheik Ali Al-Avatar) Not seen in quite some time, Bernard isn't exactly riding a wave of momentum but regardless remains a dangerous competitor due to his mean streak and intimidating power. The two men skip the formalities and proceed to batter each other with their biggest hits in a rough, rugged brawl for the title. Sheik's sneaky assists aren't as useful as usual thanks to Lisa Bowen having Jebediah's back on that and with the big man free to focus on his match, he uses his surprising agility for a man his size to outmaneuver Bernard and hit the Sundown Splash for the pin. Winner: Jebediah, by pinfall Jebediah makes defence number 1 of his Piledriver United States title Xavi Ferrera comes out next and cuts a promo saying he lost to the eventual winner of the fourteenth annual Rip Chord Invitational, which means he lost to the best of them. His 'silver lining' excuse promo is cut short by the arrival of Logan Diaz, who tells him to stop trying to sugar coat his loss; Spencer Spade cheated his way past him and Diaz never complained about it, only worked harder, just like he did to take the US title off of Ferrera and make one more defense than him before losing it. Now he aims to succeed where Xavi failed and capture the Piledriver championship. The two men argue about who deserves a shot at the champ, which in turn brings out... ...the Piledriver champion himself, Lenny Brown! After hyping himself up about defeating champion after champion in the Invitational, Brown says the best way to sort this out is the same he used to sort it out with Ferrera before he won the gold: Logan Diaz versus Xavi Ferrera, with the winner fighting himself for the Piledriver Championship! "The Sandman" Jules Knight vs Quentrell Garner One of Piledriving School's first graduates after the launch of the promotion, Knight finds himself wrestling rookie prospect Quentrell Garner in this match. The in-ring action is decent, especially for two young lions in a singles match, but other than that there's little heat since fans barely know much about both of them and Knight wraps it up with a win after hitting his Time for Bed finisher on the young upstart. Winner: Jules Knight, by pinfall w "Ice Cold" Claire Winters & Eri Sato vs Sawyer Sports Services Following the expulsion of Winters from Sawyer Sports Services at the Rip Chord Invitational XIV, "Devious" Dee Daniels teams up with the new face revealed at that show, the woman revealed as Melanie Trigg to take on Winters and her former title challenger, Eri Sato. From the opening bell, the babyfaces look like they're exactly on the same page and it's not just about their similar martial arts based styles; Winters and Sato have the flow, the timing and even the double team moves to give the towering Melanie Trigg a run for her money. Unable to bully the opposition around, Trigg tags in Daniels and after an extremely personal back and forth slapping contest with Winters, the Devious One uses the emotional tension in her favor as Sawyer gets on the apron to distract Winters. Careless and high on adrenaline, Winters smashes her former manager with an elbow to the chin but only to turn around just as Daniels connects with an A-Grade Knee to lay her out while Trigg keeps Sato from breaking up the subsequent pin. Winners: Sawyer Sports Services, by pinfall after "Playboy" Jake Sawyer interfered Riley McManus vs "Class Act" Syd Collier Renewing hostilities after the Invitational, the two men walk into this match with a very different story. Collier lost his qualifier match against Lenny Brown, while McManus may have not won the tournament but he nevertheless made it to the next stage and most importantly, beat Collier's usual ally in the Architect. Looking to finish the job here, McManus attacks his opponent with the brawling he showcased against Scythe at the invitational, apparently not interested in a technical contest. Collier does his best to slow down the pace and take the fight to the mat where he's strongest. It's a slow paced match heavy on the drama to emphasize the heat between these two, their personalities, styles, history as well as the symbolism of the clash that followed the merger of Piledriver Wrestling and Mid Atlantic Wrestling, ending on a high note with McManus executing the Slingshot Suplex for the pin, clean as a whistle. Winner: Riley McManus, by pinfall Scythe & Reaper vs Masked Patriot & Miss Atlantic Wrestling Piledriver Wrestling never did promote intergender matches and even now, it's far from a balanced act. Miss Atlantic Wrestling is the only female out of the four participants and even so, she's up against a monstrous duo in Scythe & Reaper. Still, the bravely defiant patriot lady enters the fight, just like she did at the Rip Chord Initational to rescue eventual winner Masked Patriot from a post-match beatdown. It's a true David vs Goliath case and she uses her speed against the slow moving Reaper, a strategy that pays off at first, especially given how the two big men seem to get in each other's way when wrestling a match together as a team. A quick tag brings in Masked Patriot for a double team and then it's the tournament winner duking it out with Scythe, a fight that picks up right off of where the two of them left things at the Invitational. Patriot stands his ground and proves his win was no fluke, but he cannot hope to defeat both Scythe & Reaper on his own. Looking to relieve her partner, Miss Atlantic Wrestling tags herself in and is off to her usual bouncing around the ring like a rubber ball off the ropes but her cheerful vibe is quickly crushed by a Death Bomb from Reaper, who covers her for the pin. Winners: Scythe & Reaper, by pinfall Well aware of what's next, Masked Patriot quickly gets his teammate out of the ring to retreat, leaving the winners to stand tall in the middle of the ring as they strike a menacing pose and the lights flicker, before going out to end the show.

DarK_RaideR Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Damage Inc. 2019 card & narrative She looked at the match card again. It was hard to tell. When she was told she'd be pinning Claire Winters in that tag match, she knew it was in order to set up a title match between them. She never thought she'd win the title too, but Nate had told her something that had her thinking. "They picked you 'cause you're the top heel in the division and so the match makes sense." Nate was only two years older than her, but he'd been a pro for a good five years already. Not only that, he trained and worked for Sam Keith in MAW, so he knew a lot more than what five years in the business should have taught him. He could sit and talk for hours about the "Regional Battles" the company was apparently now involved in or why the wrestling media would classify War for Territory as a show of "Above Average" importance. For all his college athlete looks, deep down inside he was a total nerd. Dee had been with Piledriver Wrestling for almost a year now. She and Nate had been dating since Christmas and although they tried to avoid talking business when out of work, they couldn't fully avoid it either. It was their life and passion. So when she confided in him that she'd be getting a title shot but didn't know why, his response gave her a different viewpoint. She'd only thought the match was the next step in Winters' feud with Sawyer Sports Services, or 3S as they'd call it backstage for short. Melanie was just in and Dee was the oldest member still on the roster. But top heel? Her? Already?

DarK_RaideR Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 Damage Inc. 2019 Piledriver Wrestling Presents Damage Inc. 2019 Saturday, Week 4 February, 2019 Live from the Delaware Auditorium, DE Syd Collier, The Architect & Jules Knight w Jebediah & The Heartbreak Express (with Lisa Bowen) Not really seen around since they won the Piledriver Tag Team titles, the Heartbreak Express join their manager's newest client turned US champion, Jebediah, against the duo of MAW loyalists Collier and the Architect, with mat specialist Jules Knight filling in the third spot of that team. Every man has his moment in the sun to show what they can do, with the Heartbreak Express taking things to the next level when they use their teaming experience to focus their offense on Knight, which Needham pins after a Moonsault. Winners: Jebediah & The Heartbreak Express, by pinfall While the wrestlers make their way backstage, a video airs to announce that Eri Sato won the pre-show match and will be competing for the COTT Women's title at War for Territory #15. Riley McManus, Nate DeMarcus & Quentrell Garner w The Death Squad & "Killer" Carl Bernard (with Sheik Ali Al-Avatar) Much like the previous match, this one gives everyone a chance to pull off a big move or two, but it is heavily focused on playing to the differences between the straightforward athletic wrestlers on one side and the big monster heels on the other. After some back and forth, Bernard capitalizes on a rookie mistake by Garner to deliver the Kill Switch and pick up the win to wrap up the match. Winners: The Death Squad & "Killer" Carl Bernard, by pinfall Providing a fun breather after the match, Oscar Tufnel is shown in a video that's a mix between dancing and training, given how much of his offense is essentially modified disco dance moves. w Piledriver Women's title match "Ice Cold" Claire Winters © vs "Devious" Dee Daniels (with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer) The next chapter in Winters' expulsion from Sawyer Sports Services, this match comes after Daniels managed to pin the champion in a tag match at War for Territory #14. Both ladies being heavy strikers, they clash in the middle of the ring as the martial arts style of Winters goes up against the oldschool brawling of Daniels. A physical contest, this one sees momentum flow back and forth, much to the credit of Daniels who wrestles like a woman with half a decade under her belt when in fact she's only been in the business for a year. Unfortunately for her though, Sawyer's initiative for an assist backfires when Winters, well aware of how the Playboy plays his cards, dodges to let his sneaky blow connect with Daniels instead, who she then hits with a sharp Heel Kick for the pin. Winner: "Ice Cold" Claire Winters, by pinfall following botched interference from "Playboy" Jake Sawyer Claire Winters makes defence number 3 of her Piledriver Womens title Backstage, the Piledriver Champion Lenny Brown is with Diaz and Ferrera. After repeating that the winner of tonight's match between the two of them will earn a shot at his title, Brown sends both men off and is out to take a front row seat for himself when he joins the broadcasting team as a guest commentator. #1 contender match for the Piledriver Championship title "The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera vs "Glorious" Logan Diaz Arguably two of Piledriver Wrestling's brightest prospects, Ferrera and Diaz have been on a collision course since the promotion's first show. After butting heads over the United States title, they once again lock horns to determine who will face Lenny Brown for the biggest prize of them all. Being a former holder of the title himself, Ferrera looks pretty confident in this match but spot after spot, move after move, a determined Diaz turns the tide and ends up outwrestling him, no matter what the Athlete tries to pull off. Just as Diaz finally grapples his opponent to hit the Belly to Belly Suplex, Ferrera lands a hard knee on his groin to break free. Given how the two men were grappling, the move escaped the attention of referee Alvin Lavin and Ferrera manages to quickly cover Diaz, putting a foot on the ropes just to be sure he can keep the big man down. Winner: "The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera, by pinfall after using underhanded tactics and the ropes for leverage Three Way match for a shot at the COTT World Heavyweight title Scythe vs Masked Patriot vs Reaper What initially looks like a two on one beatdown for Patriot actually swings around when Scythe and Reaper argue over who should make the pin. Scythe is the previous holder of the title and would love nothing more than a rematch against Bulldozer Brandon Smith, but Reaper argues it's his turn to try. Things quickly turn to blows between the two acolytes of darkness and even the recovery of Masked Patriot isn't enough to quell the flames; the three men trade huge blows until Patriot smartly side-steps to send a charging Scythe crashing onto Reaper, before he pins the youngster to win the match. Winner: Masked Patriot, by pinfall after Scythe accidentally hit Reaper Show Rating: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarK_RaideR Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 - Though not the first show to score a better rating than a Rhode Island Pro Wrestling show, with Piledriver Wrestling's increasing popularity, Damage Inc. 2019 is the first ever show to out-perform RIPW in the Regional Wars of the Tri State area. - Sam Keith and Peter Michaels have officially ended their association to Piledriver Wrestling. The promotion thanks them for their contributions and wishes them all the best in their future endeavors.

A little romance for Nate DeMarcus?!?!? Nate and Dee. I like that!! I haven't written out anything in that vein since the Quinzel-Gutmann stuff and they both left the promotion shortly after. Lisa Bowen and The Architect were already dating since before the merger and El Sultan pulled off a Tripple H when he hooked up with Nicole Pyle despite being brought in for a 3 month deal only. Nate and Dee's romance is the first one I feel truly deserves a narrative. Right in the feels Yup. I have a soft spot for Jeb since I first brought him in a GSW save of old. Really good show. I like the direction PDW seems to be heading in! Thanks. Judging from everyone's predictions in the last few shows, PDW is a little predictable but I don't mind. The idea is to deliver a classic mainstream pro wrestling product, minus the comedy and wackiness (so no sports entertainment). We're pretty close to hitting Regional size, so I'm hoping that brings a few interesting developments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarK_RaideR Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 War for Territory #15 Piledriver Wrestling Presents War for Territory #15 Saturday, Week 2 March, 2019 Live from the Delaware Auditorium, DE "Ice Cold" Claire Winters comes out to kick off the show and she is joined at the entrance by... Gorgon? But, how? Didn't she retire from the ring back in September? With a sly smile on her face, Gorgon gets on the mic to reveal she was contacted to take over from Lee Wright as head trainer of the Piledriver Wrestling School. Part of the reason she accepted was so she could personally train Winters, which she sees as one for the future and because of that, Winters asked her to find her a partner. And so, Gorgon brought in... Teresa Perez! w "Ice Cold" Claire Winters & Teresa Perez vs Sawyer Sports Services (with "Playboy" Jake Sawyer) The former QAW and AAA star brings some interesting high flying with her lucha libre influences to get the fans going in the opener and round out the striking style of Winters. Rookie Melanie Tigg is taken aback by the speed and constant motion of Perez, but manages to put the brakes with a big shoulder block before getting to work on the red headed babyface. Tigg's done her homework and pulls Perez to her corner, using quick tags with Daniels to cut the ring in half and isolate Perez until a confident Tigg exposes herself to a tornado DDT that levels the playing field. Winters gets the hot tag and unloads on Tigg until Daniels blind tags herself in to turn the tide. Forced to a tactical withdrawal, Winters gets closer to her corner and tags in Perez who attempts to slingshot herself in when Sawyer gets on the apron and shakes the ropes to mess with her balance, sending her face first to connect with the A-Grade Knee of Daniels for the subsequent pin. Winners: Sawyer Sports Services, by pinfall after "Playboy" Jake Sawyer interfered Backstage, Logan Diaz is getting ready for his match next when 360lbs pounds of Reaper crash onto him. The two men brawl with Reaper geting the best of the exchange thanks to the element of surprise before Logan's scheduled partner Quentrell Garner rushes to the scene to make the save. If Diaz pins Ferrera, he becomes the #1 contender in his place Logan Diaz & Quentrell Garner vs Xavi Ferrera & Buck Winchester It is clear from the team's entrance that the backstage assault has taken a toll on Diaz, so Garner starts the match to let him recover a little bit. A little back and forth with Winchester gets things rolling until Ferrera is tagged in to grapple back and forth with the rookie. Although Garner is able to hold his ground against the heels and both their styles, Ferrera demands that Diaz gets the tag. Diaz agrees, obviously hoping for the pin that will earn him a shot at the Piledriver Championship, but Ferrera proceeds to dismantle him as he targets any weakness he can spot. For all his valiant resistance, it is clear Diaz is fighting an uphill battle and Garner tags himself back in. Winchester calls for the tag as well and while the faces seem to be having a minor argument about who should continue to fight, Winchester shoves Garner onto Diaz before catching him on the rebound for the Texas Backbreaker. Winners: Xavi Ferrera & Buck Winchester, by pinfall w Piledriver Tag Team titles match Syd Collier & The Architect vs The Heartbreak Express © (with Lisa Bowen) Two teams who made their names with Mid Atlantic Wrestling, even if Collier used to tag with Cameron Jones before the implosion of the Dynamite Express; MAW loyalists Collier and the Architect are not oblivious to the fact and indeed show a bit of extra aggression between the ropes, shouting at the Express for "selling out" and other insults in that vein. Such is the tension on the heel side they even introduce a steel chair into the match, a stark contrast to the crisp technical style both men are known for. As it turns out though, it's all part of an elaborate ruse as the Architect slams the chair on the mat while Collier distracts referee Alvin Lavin. Immediately dropping the chair, the Architect drops to the mat holding his head, tricking the ref into disqualifying the Express. Winners: Syd Collier & The Architect, by disqualification Backstage, Lenny Brown walks up to Xavi Ferrera and reluctantly congratulates him for remaining the #1 contender. Ferrera brings up their two recent time limit draw matches for the right to challenge then champion Masked Patriot and says that this time, with the title on the line, he will prove he can beat Brown to end this once and for all. w Triple Threat match for the Piledriver United States title Riley McManus vs Nate DeMarcus vs Jebediah © (with Lisa Bowen) A pretty straightforward, open contest between three babyface competitors, this one really exposes the weak spots of Jebediah; it's not just his lack of technical prowess on display against McManus and DeMarcus, it's also the fact that he seems to be having a rough time staying sharp against more than a single opponent every time. McManus and DeMarcus manage to take down the big man with a two-man version of the Slingshot Suplex early in the match, but instead of making the cover, they instead wrestle each other. Once he's had time to recover, Jebediah clotheslines DeMarcus out of the ring and when McManus tries to pick him up for the Slingshot Suplex on his own, the champ uses his weight to float over and reverse the situation into a roll up to retain. Winner: Jebediah, by pinfall with a roll up Jebediah makes defence number 2 of his Piledriver United States title Foxxy LaRue is shown backstage getting ready for her big title match when Oscar Tufnel struts her way, trying to sway her with his gyrating hips and disco dancing moves. The segment provides a comedy breather for the fans, but with LaRue slapping Tufnel before leaving, it also establishes her as the heel in the upcoming match against Eri Sato. COTT Women's title match Eri Sato vs Foxxy LaRue © Two straightforward strikers meet in the semi main event, the first of two matches for a COTT title. LaRue's gritty brawling is an interesting contrast to Sato's measured martial arts strikes and as things go back and forth in this hard hitting match that wouldn't be out of place in a joshi promotion like 5SSW, Sato proves her worth as a challenger, even if she ends up getting hit with a Flash Head Kick from the champion. Winner: Foxxy LaRue, by pinfall Foxxy LaRue makes defence number 9 of her COTT Womens title As Masked Patriot makes his entrance for the main event match, Scythe interrupts when he charges him from behind. The big man puts Patriot in position for the Underworld Spike [Tombstone Piledriver] and yells something about how this title shot should have been his, when... ...out comes the COTT World Heavyweight champion to make the save! And he's wearing the mask of American Patriot once again, just like he did when he used to wrestle in this region for Mid Atlantic Wrestling! COTT World Heavyweight title match "American Patriot" Bulldozer Brandon Smith © vs Masked Patriot How do you make a dream match of Smith vs Masked Patriot even better? You put the COTT World Heavyweight title on the line, host it in MAW's former stomping grounds and return Smith as the American Patriot, that's how. The two men pace themselves to let fans take everything in and the match is every bit as physical as one would expect from those involved. The action is pretty stripped down using simple but hard hitting blows but a lot of it has to do with pride and fighting spirit. Adding a bit of what he's picked up touring Japan with Black Canvas Grappling, Smith gives a touch of strong style to the match before eventually hitting the Backdrop Driver on his challenger to mark down his first successful defense of the COTT World Heavyweight title. Winner: "American Patriot" Bulldozer Brandon Smith, by pinfall "American Patriot" Bulldozer Brandon Smith makes defence number 1 of his COTT World Heavyweight title Show Rating: Trying a different approach here with the big gaps before surprise appearances. Interested to hear from you readers how that works for you. Do you like it? Is it annoying? Do you just not care? Let your voice be heard!

DarK_RaideR Posted March 21, 2019 Author Share Posted March 21, 2019 Wrestle Bowl 2019 match card & narrative YES! YES! YES! I was ecstatic. So much, I even pumped both my fists in the air, so hard I almost dropped my laptop. On its screen were the ratings from totalextremewrestling.com for shows held on the second Saturday of March 2019: Piledriver Wrestling's War for Territory #15: C-, 3 out of 5 stars RIPW's March to Victory 2019: D, 2 and a half out of 5 stars Damage Inc. 2019 had been our first show to marginally beat RIPW's content for that month, but our "original" Piledriver shows were scheduled on 'empty' days, when no other US companies held a show and no major promotion had an episode on TV. I'd searched a lot to find the perfect date when we first began, just so we wouldn't be overshadowed or deal with booking clashes. War for Territory was different. It ran on the exact same night as RIPW's monthly shows. And War for Territory #15 had just ran on the same night as RIPW's March to Victory 2019, beating them clean on the media rankings. R The Eisens were pumping money to Rhode Island, giving them the best talent for shows with production values the rest of us in the independent circuit could only dream of, yet here we were officially on top of them. Peter Michaels would be proud.

After leaving the Mexican company in August of 2017 and taking a long leave to deliver and raise the son she and Wildfire Inferno had, Torres returns to the ring after nearly 8 months away and looks like she hasn't picked up any ring rust at all, nor has the shock of pregnancy affected her body much. Her ability to transition smoothly between excruciation submission holds is a great addition to Daniels' brawling and Trigg's raw power, allowing the heels to give their opponents a hard time. Winters and Sato yet again showcase their natural connection with a series of stereo kicks, but Torres finds a way to shut them down and take them to the mat. It's even worse with Perez, who finds herself denied of her moveset once down to the mat. Well versed in taking out high flying luchadoras, Torres wraps Perez in an excruciating move that looks like a combination between a Crippler Crossface and a Calf Crusher. Even when Perez manages to barely grab the ropes, Torres refuses to let go. It costs her team the match, but it also helps her make a statement upon arrival: she's here to hurt people.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: "Ice Cold" Claire Winters, Eri Sato & Teresa Perez, by disqualification</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="V6GDKvw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/V6GDKvw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ys4hD4n.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ys4hD4n.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="GIRKb76.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GIRKb76.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="amsxoxV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/amsxoxV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><strong>w</strong><img alt="orMSYPb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/orMSYPb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Piledriver United States title match</strong></p><p><strong> Jules Knight vs Jebediah © (with Lisa Bowen)</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Though not as strong or experienced as the champion, Knight has already established himself as a competent mat savant and it's this strength he tries to play to as he attempts to use the big man's size against him and take him to the mat.

Though the match features four of Piledriver Wrestling's most popular men who can go between the ropes, the actual execution itself underdelivers; not that it's a bad match, but it's not what one may have thought upon seeing it on paper. Scythe and Reaper's bad timing together is old news, but sadly Diaz and Patriot too seem to be completely out of synch, a fact that further drags the match down before Diaz ends it round the ten minute mark when he pounces on the fallen Reaper to apply a Boston Crab for the tap out.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winners: Masked Patriot & Logan Diaz, by submission</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="FHUEpiU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/FHUEpiU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MzjfHKV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MzjfHKV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="uN4bdE9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uN4bdE9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> As the winners return backstage, they run into Xavi Ferrera.

Their third confrontation however is surprisingly one-sided, with Brown utterly dominating the match as he counters everything Ferrera throws at him. It is clear Brown has been scouting Ferrera since the last time they met in the ring and he has an answer for everything, at times being one or two moves ahead of his challenger. Initially frustrated and then almost in panic, Ferrera tries to get out of the tight spot he's in but that's easier said than done. Things look grim for the Puerto Rican athlete, until he manages to get unpredictable and hit Brown with his own Star Treatment finisher, before ascending on top to hit the High Impact Frog Splash and score the shocking pin.</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Winner: "The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera, by pinfall</strong></p><p><strong> "The Athlete" Xavi Ferrera wins the Piledriver Championship title</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">Show Rating:</span></strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK_RaideR Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 <p>War for Territory #16 card and narrative</p><p> </p><p> At last, we were really hitting our grove. When totalextremewrestling.com published their "Regional War" results, we had the top spot in both the South East and Tri State areas, defeating TITAN Factory/QAW and RIPW/NYCW respectively. We were a few steps away from classifying as a true 'Regional' promotion, a ranking that would hopefully increase attendances and finally stop everyone from comparing our Production Values to the glitz and glam of SWF-financed RIPW.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="jW5DSzO.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jW5DSzO.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> I was sad to take the belt of Lenny so soon, but NYCW had offered him a contract and I was determined to stick to our mission statement of cutting folks loose once they landed a proper deal with any promotion larger than us. Beside, Vessey's group were our COTT allies and with Piledriver Wrestling about to rise up in the rankings, he would need the firepower if he was to survive against RIPW. At least I'd built up Xavi to be his title contender when Lenny made his decision. He didn't want to go out like a fluke champion though, so I booked the main event in his favor just so he'd agree to drop the belt. I could have just gone ahead anyway, he was leaving, but I didn't want to push things. Who knows, maybe our paths would cross again in the future and I'd hate to have bad blood between us. Lenny was money, the Eisens were dumb to let him go. Same with Masked Patriot. And Scythe. And Spade. And Primus. The list could go on forever.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="HFJn08h.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HFJn08h.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="cfAEiGT.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cfAEiGT.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="nXGgqIU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nXGgqIU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> The newcomers were fitting in nicely too. It may have something to do with his high flying protege, but Lee finally lifted the ban on hiring luchadors and I wasn't shy about taking advantage of it. Our product still didn't favor high flyers much, but I thought Perez added some variety to a division full of brawlers, strikers and martial artists. Torres was a different story, she was a true Technician and she too helped round up Sawyer's group. She was out of a job with a baby to raise and a point to prove so I gave her a chance. Fans hadn't warmed up to her yet, but that would hopefully come with time. As for E-Soteric, I took a risk having him pull off a Black Panther gimmick as a social justice and equality babyface warrior, but apparently his time with Grimm's group in SoCal alongside his real life experiences gave him all the ammunition he needed to make it work. </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46150" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Piledriver Wrestling Presents</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><strong><span style="font-size:14px;">War for Territory #16</span></strong></p><p><strong> Saturday, Week 2 April, 2019</strong></p><p><strong> Live from the Delaware Auditorium, DE</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> Main Event</strong></p><p><strong> Three Way Elimination match</strong></p><p><strong> Winner gets a shot at the Piledriver Championship</strong></p><p> Masked Patriot vs Scythe vs Syd Collier</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Co-Main Event</strong></p><p><strong> Piledriver United States title match</strong></p><p> The Architect vs Jebediah ©</p><p> </p><p> <strong>COTT World Tag Team titles match</strong></p><p> Shiva & Peppin Leon © vs The Death Squad</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Women's Tag Team match</strong></p><p> Kick City Connection (Winters & Sato) vs Sawyer Sports Services (Daniels & Torres)</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Opening Six Man Tag match</strong></p><p> B-Panther, Nate DeMarcus & Oscar Tufnel vs Buck Winchester, "Killer" Carl Bernard & Kenneth Drebin</p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Theheel" data-cite="Theheel" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46150" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Much in the same way Historian turned me into a fan of Riley McManus, you have turned me into an Xavi fan.
