NYCW: Ten Year Anniversary Diary

BHK1978 · December 24, 2018

Introduction

Okay I just wanted to give a brief introduction to this dairy. I have not had an active diary on here in a few years (I am too lazy to look it up) but I decided to do one more (at the very least) to celebrate the ten-year anniversary of my first diary on here which was also an NYCW diary (my first diary was in September of 2009, but this is close enough).

This diary is not going to be a work of art, you can expect a lot of typos, misspelt words and missing words. I am going to make this a completely kayfabe diary, which means there will be no behind the scenes posts. I hate writing match write-ups with a passion (I am also not very good at writing them). Therefore, my match write-ups are going to be brief summaries of what happened. Some might be very brief while others will be longer, it really depends on how much I want to write.

I actually wrote most of the first show a year ago, and then I thought about if I really wanted to do another diary. I am going to be honest I do not know how long this diary will run, think of it like a comic book. It could be a mini-series, a maxi-series, or an ongoing series. It really depends on how much interest I have in it.

As always feel free to one star my diary if you feel the urge to do so. I will not complain if you do so and I will one star it myself.

I am debating of if I want to run a prediction contest or not. Two reasons why I might not are they are a huge pain in the ass to keep track of and I never have a lot of people interacting in my diary. However, I am going to be doing a Top Prospect Tournament in this diary and I always enjoy allowing the readers to pick who they want in the tournament. I am still on the fence about this.

HiPlus · December 26, 2018

For the NYCW Tag Team Championships:

The Southern Stars © vs. Borne To Riot

Backing champion.

Four-Team Elimination Match:

The Ring Generals vs. The Boys From The Yukon vs. Brooklyn’s Finest vs. Old School Principals

I like the Ring Generals and only ones I really know.

For the NYCW Tri-State Regional Championship:

Crockett Tubbs © vs. Devastating Don

Backing the champion because I don't know either.

Dermot O’Logical vs. Andrew Harper

Love his look every time it pops up I am happy.

Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Brutus Milano

All I know is Brandon Smith is a monster.

Steve Flash & Roger Cage vs. Man Mountain Cahill and Honest Frank

Isn't Steve Flash 40? If so backing the younger talent.

Zergon · December 26, 2018

I´m going to follow this, not super familiar with NYCW on TEW2016 but I should know enough not to completely screw up my predictions.

For the NYCW Tag Team Championships:

The Southern Stars © vs. Borne To Riot

Doubt that Borne To Riot would be quite ready for tag belts yet

Four-Team Elimination Match:

The Ring Generals vs. The Boys From The Yukon vs. Brooklyn’s Finest vs. Old School Principals

Generals would be my pick as your best team. That said, I´m pretty sure that Southern Stars are faces and winner on this one is likely going to be on the contention as challengers for tag belts so I go with heel team that I believe are highest at the pecking order when the game starts.

For the NYCW Tri-State Regional Championship:

Crockett Tubbs © vs. Devastating Don

Two names that I don´t associate with NYCW here but I know enough about Devastaing Don and what I know states that he should stay well away from titles.

Dermot O’Logical vs. Andrew Harper

Dermot is one of those wrestlers who I really hate because his gimmick so going to pick against him whenever I can justify it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Brutus Milano

Smith has to be one of the bigger names you got espesially if we look guys that could go further than year or two before retiring so assuming he isn´t stolen I would expect him to be one of the guys you would build around.

Steve Flash & Roger Cage vs. Man Mountain Cahill and Honest Frank

Speaking of guys who could retire any minute, here´s three of them with Cage being the only one who I wouldn´t expect to find in your "past their prime" list. That said, Cage is also someone who I expect to be stolen by bigger company pretty quickly so that´s why I pick heels to win this one.

Looking forward to seeing how Tubb’s is used here.

Dermot O’Logical vs. Andrew Harper

Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Brutus Milano

Gotta go with the Big man here

Steve Flash & Roger Cage vs. Man Mountain Cahill and Honest Frank

Now hopefully this dynasty world doesn’t have USPW signing Roger Cage in January, which seems to happen all the time. I’m going with Flash and Cage

For the NYCW Tag Team Championships:

No title change just yet

Four-Team Elimination Match:

The Ring Generals vs. The Boys From The Yukon vs. Brooklyn’s Finest vs. Old School Principals

I’m a big fan of the boys from the Yukon

For the NYCW Tri-State Regional Championship:

Same as the tag title match. I just don’t see a title change before we have seen whose who

Dermot O’Logical vs. Andrew Harper

Dermot O’Logical should be in an unemployment line

Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Brutus Milano

Smith is a future star

Steve Flash & Roger Cage vs. Man Mountain Cahill and Honest Frank

The fans are chanting, “Thank you Roger!”, repeatedly. Roger looks touched by this tribute. He tries to speak but the fans continue to chant. Finally, Roger can speak.] <img alt="LCHnPjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LCHnPjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Roger Cage: As many of you know, tonight is going to be my last night here in NYCW. Earlier today I vacated my Empire Championship. It was one of the toughest things I had to do in my career. You see for months and months I had been mulling over the contract that USPW had offered me. Part of me wanted to sign the contract right away and ride off into the sunset. However, the other part of me knew that would not be right because I felt as if I owed it to you fans to stay here in NYCW. After all it was here in NYCW that I made a name for myself. I had my debut match for this company almost twelve years ago. For nearly twelve years I put everything I had into my matches here. Sometimes you fans loved me and other times…well not so much. But I always knew you respected me and I greatly appreciated that. Therefore, leaving here was never going to be something I would do on a whim. I thought about it and I went to NYCW owner Larry Vessey and informed him of my offer. Larry told me that I should take the new opportunity that USPW was offering me. He gave his blessings for me to leave and, so I decided to take the chance. I love it here in NYCW but there comes a time in everyone’s life where they must spread their wings and fly… Now as for tonight…Larry asked me who I would like to face for my final match here in NYCW. There was only one man that I could think of and that man is mister NYCW himself Steve Flash. For years Steve has been the face of this company. I have had plenty of great matches with him in the past and I just knew that he would be the perfect final opponent for me… [before Roger can continue, he is interrupted by Honest Frank who comes out from behind the backstage curtain. Frank is followed by the ever-menacing Man Mountain Chaill.] <img alt="4tvBqyz.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4tvBqyz.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Honest Frank: Honestly Roger I don’t see why these fans should care about you anymore. You betrayed them…you…well you are nothing more than a modern-day Judas. You took the money that USPW offered and you ran out of here much like your pal Sammy the Shark. Now part of me just has to wonder if the reason why you are leaving has anything to do with the beating you took last month at the hands of my friend here. I mean if we’re being honest and well, as you know I always am honest…you were on the receiving end of a major league ass kicking and one would not fault you if you were scared and decided to take your ball and run. [A smile creeps across Roger’s face as he slowly removes the sunglass from his face.] <img alt="LCHnPjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LCHnPjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Roger Cage: Oh Frank, you have to ruin everything don’t you. Well you’re not going to make me lose my smile tonight pal. While it is true that Man Mountain Cahill did kick my ass last month that did not factor into my decision to leave in any way, shape, or form. After all, I might have gotten my ass kicked last month but I still ended up picking up the win… <img alt="bHvOGdf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bHvOGdf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Man Mountain Cahill: You got lucky! <img alt="LCHnPjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LCHnPjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Roger Cage: Luck had nothing to do with it big man. I beat you because I am a highly skilled athlete and you’re nothing but an over the hill, obese biker who only shows up to work every couple of months. I can’t help if you have more rust on you than a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am. [Cahill does not take too kindly to Roger making fun of his part-time status. Cahill begins heading towards the ring.] <img alt="LCHnPjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LCHnPjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Roger Cage: Whoa now big fellow, if you want some come get some. [Cahill enters the ring and charges at Cage. The two men begin to brawl in the center of the ring as Honest Frank gleefully sits down in a metal chair at ringside and enjoys the brawl. This does not last long as the moment that Cage get the upper hand in the battle, Frank enters the ring and nails Cage in the back with the steel chair he had just been sitting on moment earlier. Cahill and Frank then begin to beatdown the now defenseless Cage. Moments later Steve Flash comes running down to the ring with his own steel chair. He takes a swing at Frank, but Frank artfully dodges the chair. It is at this point that Cahill and Frank leave the ring and Flash goes over to check on Cage. Roger says something to Flash and Flash smiles and nods his head in agreement. Flash then goes and retrieves a microphone for Roger. Roger who is clearly in pain as he clutches his back, begins to speak.] <img alt="LCHnPjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LCHnPjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Roger Cage: Hey Frank…Cahill…I am having second thoughts over what I want my last match to be. You see for years I was a tag team wrestler here in NYCW and after that attack you two just gave me…well I think it is only fitting that my last match here in NYCW be a tag match. So how about it guys? The two of you against me and Flash! You guys game? [Frank does not look at all interested in the proposition put in front of him, but Cahill does not care one-bit what Frank wants. Despite Frank begging Cahill to say no, the big man bellows out…] <img alt="bHvOGdf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bHvOGdf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Man Mountain Cahill: You got a deal Cage! [The crowd goes nuts as we head over to the announcer’s table where the voice of NYCW Rock Downpour and his broadcast partner Ernie Turner welcome us to the show. Rock and Ernie then do a rundown on what matches are going to be on the card before sending us back to the ring for the first match of the evening.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="9rYZK1h.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9rYZK1h.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5LfaBFT.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5LfaBFT.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7bVoOjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7bVoOjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Dermot O’Logical vs. Andrew Harper Match:</div> <ul><li>As soon as the opening bell sounds Dermot begins preaching the virtues of exfoliation to Andrew. </li><li>Dermot then points out that Andrew has a zit on his forehead and he informs Andrew that he (Andrew) would not have any pimples on face if he took better care of his skin. </li><li>As one would imagine this did not go over very well with the big man and Andrew proceeded to beat the holy hell out of Dermot. </li><li>There were points that Dermot did manage to get some offense in but sadly for him those points were few and far between. </li><li>In the end Andrew picked up the victory after downing Dermot with a Spike Slam.</li></ul></div></blockquote> <div style="text-align:center;">Winner: Andrew Harper Time: 10:19 Match Rating: 37</div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>[After the match is done Andrew slides out of the ring as Dermot lies motionless in the ring. Andrew lifts the ring apron and pulls out a wooden table from beneath the ring. He then takes a moment to menacingly stare out at the crowd before he drags the table inside the ring. Referee Michael Bull, knowing full well what Andrew’s objective is about the table, admonishes Andrew. Andrew shoots one glance at Bull and Bull, realizing that he might end up the victim, quickly scurries out of the ring. Andrew turns his attention towards setting up the table in the ring as Dermot begins to slowly try and get up. Andrew is having none of that and he picks Dermot up only to drive him down to the canvas once more with yet another Spike Slam. Andrew finishes setting up the table in the center of the ring. He then raises his arms triumphantly above his head and cries out, “It’s table time!” He then walks slowly and confidently over to where the seemingly lifeless Dermot lies. However, Andrew is stopped before he can do anything to Dermot by Bulldozer Brandon Smith who has run down to the ring to help his friend. Bulldozer and Andrew begin brawling in the ring. Brandon soon gets the upper hand in this battle. Andrew, realizing that this is not a hill he wants to die on, manages to get out of the ring. Bulldozer does not pursue, he instead checks on the condition of his friend.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">The following match is for the NYCW Tri-State Regional Championship: <img alt="DVx8cXd.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DVx8cXd.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="0Rlr9EC.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0Rlr9EC.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5LfaBFT.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5LfaBFT.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Rx9ETXf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Rx9ETXf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Crockett Tubbs © vs. Devastating Don Match:</div> <ul><li>For months and months Devastating Don has been pushed as a man nobody could beat.

Roger smiles and nods his head at Dean before continuing.] <img alt="LCHnPjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LCHnPjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Roger Cage: I have this long list of the people I want to thank…but I am drawing a blank as to who I want to thank. So, I am just going to thank The Stomper who took a chance on me twelve years ago and gave me my first real job in wrestling. I want to thank Nicki who has not only been a great manager for me over the past couple of years but also a great friend… [A crying Nicki runs over and gives Roger a hug.] <img alt="LCHnPjx.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LCHnPjx.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Roger Cage: I would also like to thank my long-time tag team partner Sammy the Shark, who is my real life best friend. Not many people in this industry can say that they were in a tag team with their best friend for nearly a decade. I would also like to thank some of my classic opponents like Wiley Coyote, American Machine, Land Mass, The Ring Generals, The Old School Principals, Man Mountain Cahill, Honest Frank, and my boy Steve Flash. Without you guys pushing me to my limits here in this ring I doubt I would have found the success that I have had in this industry. I would like to thank Rocky, Marv, and Ernie for always being professionals and praising me when I deserved to be praised and calling me out when I acted like a jerk. Also, I would be remiss if I did not thank Larry Vessey for being a great boss to work for. Most importantly I would like to thank each and every fan who as ever supported me or booed me. You are very important to me and if it was not for y’all I would not be able to make a living doing what I love to do. Thank you…and god bless! [The show comes to an end with Cage standing in the center of the ring surrounded by all of the fan favorite workers on the NYCW roster.

Thank you for everyone who made predictions for this show. I really do appreciate it. 2. I made a mistake right off the bat with this show as I held it in Ohio. I wanted to hold in in the Tri-State area but for some reason it defaulted to the region Ohio is in. I mean it is not that big of a deal, but the audience for this show was far under what I would have gotten if I had held the show in the Tri-State region. 3. Yes Roger Cage was snatched up by USPW. Which was not really that shocking as it happens in the vast majority of my NYCW games. I think I had one save where they did not come for him right away (They ended up poaching him in month two instead). I debated on if I wanted to have him drop the belt on this show or vacate it. I went with vacating the belt and the next three shows will feature a tournament for now vacant NYCW Empire Championship. 4. I fired both Fern Hathaway and Devastating Don. This was mainly because I always fire Fern due to her being difficult to deal with and not adding much to the roster overall. Don was fired because I have no plans for him and he is difficult to deal with. 5. The Fatal Four Way Tag match was supposed to lead to something but then something else just happened which negated my plans. If what I said does not make sense that because I do not want to post any spoilers, but it will make perfect sense later on. 6. I have no idea how to book the COTT Tag Team Titles. Those titles are more prestigious than the NYCW Tag Titles. I really do not want to have The Ring Generals defend their titles on every show because I feel like it would cheapen the NYCW Tag Titles. 7. Normally I would resize all of the images but I was lazy and did not end up doing it. I will admit I am not sure if I like the images at their default size, so I may end up changing them. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="HiPlus" data-cite="HiPlus" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Steve Flash & Roger Cage vs. Man Mountain Cahill and Honest Frank Isn't Steve Flash 40?

Zergon · January 6, 2019

Round 1 Matches:

Steve Flash vs. Andrew Harper

There might be small chance for upset here if you would want to heavily push Harper but overall, Flash is such an iconic NYCW guy and main eventer that I would be shoked if he didn´t get past first round

Animal Harker vs. Sayeed Ali

I think that at least 1 or 2 of the visiting superstars should get past 1st round and looking at tournament table, this is one of the more likely places were that could happen. That said, I still did go with Harker and the reason being that I expect Flash to get into final four so need heel challenger for him and while Ali likely is heel, I slighly unsure if you would want to bring him back for second night just to avoid any potential problems if 4C says no for some reason (not sure if that´s even possible or if you could get multiple appearnce deals to begin with so I might screw myself here by overthinking). Anyway, I pick Harper to win this one based on the idea that the loans are for one night only.

Tennessee William vs. Jonnie Perez

Since I expect Flash to get past 1st round logical thing would be that heel advances here and while I can´t be sure if Perez is a heel or not, I know that William is a face so I go with visiting star picking a win here.

Dean Waldorf vs. Rick Sanders

I was originally going to pick Waldorf here since I expected Ali to win his match but since I managed to talk myself out from that, I go with Sanders going forward on this one in order to face Harker in next round.

Round 2 Matches:

Animal Harker vs. Rick Sanders

Again, pretty certain Flash is going to get into final four so that means heel advancing here.

Steve Flash vs. Jonnie Perez

Don´t see Flash losing to Perez so Steve gets into final four.

Theheel · January 6, 2019

Steve Flash vs. Andrew Harper

Steve is NYCW and so surprisingly he normally has a few good years.

Animal Harker vs. Sayeed Ali

Harker has some talent so I expect him to advance here

Tennessee William vs. Jonnie Perez

Tough matchup as I like TW but I think Perez advances

Dean Waldorf vs. Rick Sanders

Waldorf is just too good even as a tag team guy to lose this one

Round 2 Matches:

Animal Harker vs. Dean Waldorf

Maybe a bit of an upset but Animal should be in control

Steve Flash vs. Jonnie Perez

Unless you sign Perez I don’t see him getting a ticket to the semis

Enjoyed the first show

After reading the first show, I thought for sure Cage would be getting a Summer of Punk-esque run but I guess I was wrong <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Harper shakes his head and then heads to the back.]</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">The following match is a second-round match in the NYCW Empire Championship Tournament: <img alt="KpaKqSV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KpaKqSV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5LfaBFT.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5LfaBFT.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="KNfWtHG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/KNfWtHG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Animal Harker vs. Rick Sanders Match:</div> <ul><li>The match beings and on commentary Rock informs us that both Animal and Rick’s respective tag team partners (Tennessee William & The Masked Mauler) are banned from ringside. </li><li>This match was a match between two men who have very conflicting styles. </li><li>Rick, who is the more technical minded worker, wanted to wrestle his style.

The fact of the matter is, I am not a spring chicken anymore…if I am being honest, I am in the twilight of my career. But there is one thing that I can’t do…no won’t do…and that’s let the fans down.

Thank you for everyone who made predictions for this show. I really do appreciate it. 2. Being the Tri-State Regional Champion Crockett Tubbs probably should have been in the tournament and he probably would have been if I did not add the COTT people. However, he is auto-pushed to low midcard and I did not want him to lose a first round match. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Zergon" data-cite="Zergon" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Round 1 Matches: Steve Flash vs. Andrew Harper There might be small chance for upset here if you would want to heavily push Harper but overall, Flash is such an iconic NYCW guy and main eventer that I would be shoked if he didn´t get past first round Animal Harker vs. Sayeed Ali I think that at least 1 or 2 of the visiting superstars should get past 1st round and looking at tournament table, this is one of the more likely places were that could happen. That said, I still did go with Harker and the reason being that I expect Flash to get into final four so need heel challenger for him and while Ali likely is heel, I slighly unsure if you would want to bring him back for second night just to avoid any potential problems if 4C says no for some reason (not sure if that´s even possible or if you could get multiple appearnce deals to begin with so I might screw myself here by overthinking). Anyway, I pick Harper to win this one based on the idea that the loans are for one night only. Tennessee William vs. Jonnie Perez Since I expect Flash to get past 1st round logical thing would be that heel advances here and while I can´t be sure if Perez is a heel or not, I know that William is a face so I go with visiting star picking a win here. Dean Waldorf vs. Rick Sanders I was originally going to pick Waldorf here since I expected Ali to win his match but since I managed to talk myself out from that, I go with Sanders going forward on this one in order to face Harker in next round. Round 2 Matches: Animal Harker vs. Rick Sanders Again, pretty certain Flash is going to get into final four so that means heel advancing here. Steve Flash vs. Jonnie Perez Don´t see Flash losing to Perez so Steve gets into final four.</div></blockquote> I swear you read my mind, you had every match correct and pretty much had the exact same reasoning as I did for every choice I made. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Theheel" data-cite="Theheel" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Dean Waldorf vs. Rick Sanders Waldorf is just too good even as a tag team guy to lose this one Enjoyed the first show</div></blockquote> I am glad you enjoyed the first show! As far as Waldorf/Sanders match, you are right Waldorf is better but I had Flash penciled in as the winner and I needed a heel to face off against him in the Semi-Final match. Plus I tend to always book to popularity. What I mean by that is I always tend to have the more popular wrestler win their match. In a feud I am more lax about that rule but in a one off like this the more popular wrestler is always going to win. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="michgcs" data-cite="michgcs" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>After reading the first show, I thought for sure Cage would be getting a Summer of Punk-esque run but I guess I was wrong <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Still don't have much of a grasp on most of these guys, so hopefully your shows come around more often so I can become more familiar with them.</div></blockquote> Nah Roger was never going to be long here in NYCW. Like I said in every NYCW game I have had he has been snatched up right away. There was only one game where he stayed in the company for more than one month. Had he stayed I would have had him lose his title in a match instead of vacating it. I just did not want to have him lose the main title on the first show.

Just popping in to say I generally struggle to connect with CVerse, but I actually like that this is more "simple" and the characters I like. I enjoy the tournament and the C.O.T.T. tie-in. Definitely will be reading!

When I first started playing TEW I found that I could not immerse myself in the game with fictional characters. Then I began to read the various bios and the lore of the universe and I became a fan. <img alt="cGBNBjs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cGBNBjs.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="46177" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">NYCW presents Road to the Gold Night One Round 1 Matches: Cheetah Boy vs. The Masked Mauler Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Brutus Milano El Hijo Espada Roja vs. Honest Frank Marv Statler vs. The New York Doll Round 2 Matches: Brandon Smith/Brutus Milano vs. Cheetah Boy/The Masked Mauler El Hijo Espada Roja/Marv Statler vs. Honest Frank/The New York Doll</div></div></blockquote>
