Last House

Attendance: 110

 

 

 

It was quiet when I got to the hall. Nearly everyone had already arrived and were quietly going about their pre-show rituals. I followed suit and ignored them all to drink in my office closet. I let the bourbon wash over me and allowed myself a moment to pretend that none of this was really happening.

A new face opens the show, the beautiful Venus Angeletti. With her is Asami Okubo, decked out in mixed martial arts attire and looking ready for a fight. Venus doesn’t spend long talking. She hypes Okubo as “a deadly competitor and a future champion wherever she works.” Okubo’s opponent is Emiko Myoshi. Little is known about her but Venus says that it doesn’t matter who is put in front of Asami, they’ll all go the same way – “Tap, nap or snap!” Someone coughs, possibly because they didn’t have a pin to drop.

Asami Okubo (w/ Venus Angeletti) vs Emiko Myoshi

I don’t care what anyone says, this is a standout moment in OWC history. At the end of our second year in business we’ve finally given women the chance to come and have matches just as poor as anything the men have produced. Truly we are an equal opportunities company. And the ladies do not disappoint in that respect – this is easily as bad as anything we’ve ever put on. They try, there’s no lack of effort, it’s just that no one cares. In a flat finish Okubo rolls through a top rope crossbody into a kimura for the submission victory. Venus looks pleased. She may be the only one.

Who’s out next? Uh-oh, it’s Mad Dog Mortimer and he’s got a mic.

 

“Now… Silas Odswald you done told me I’d get a match here tonight. I know you’re a little slow, boy, but don’t you piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining. I said... I know you’re that damn
stupid
that if brains were leather, you wouldn't have enough to saddle a junebug... heh heh. You round up whatever no legged dog you can find in the back and you send him on out, y’hear?”

 

Mort does like to get creative. As it happens we do have someone for him. I don’t bother to head to the ring, I just nod at the newcomer and point to the black curtain hanging at the entrance. Whatever Mort was thinking, he wasn’t expecting this guy.

A young kid in a fox mask and grey tracksuit drags a trash can filled with various hardcore instruments through the curtain. I guess any instrument can be hardcore if you’re brave enough. Selecting the hockey stick, Fox stares up at Mad Dog. Mort doesn’t know what to make of this at all.

 

“Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, what the hell are you supposed to be, son? Halloween was two months ago.”

 

Urban Fox remains silent.

 

“Not talking, huh? Well, I don’t know what you are but as far as I can see you ain’t no wrassler. You can cut the ears off a mule but it don’t make him no horse. Fine, if this is the best Odswald can russle up you best get your worthless hide in here. This place is the sh*ts.”

 

He’s not wrong.

Mad Dog Mortimer vs Urban Fox – Hardcore match

It’s the OWC standard, the hardcore match between two workers you wouldn’t pay to watch if they were the last wrestlers on the planet. A company staple. Mad Dog works over Fox with sloppy brawling and quickly the fight descends to weapons. Fox’s trash can is emptied in the centre of the ring and each man takes his pick. A duel between a broom and a squeegee mop might’ve been a highlight… if this match had any. Mortimer dominated but clearly took the win for granted as he underestimated his opponent, missing a Moonsault and walking straight into a Facecrusher onto a toaster! Mort is out cold… and Urban Fox gets the pin!

Danjuro Kikuchi vs Texas Hangman

Is this a fair fight? Are any of my fights fair? Danjuro is giving up around a foot in height and looks seriously mismatched. He breathes deeply and summons that warrior spirit… right into a big boot from Hangman! And a second one! Kikuchi is seeing stars. Tex lifts him by his hair and slaps a huge paw round his throat. Hangman Chokeslam! It’s over.

Robin DaLay, ‘The Canadian Nightmare’ is out next and has some words for the reigning OWC Heavyweight Champion, Seth Whitehead.

 

“Whitehead! I beat you! I beat you last month! Everyone saw me do it, the referee raised my hand but wouldn’t give me the belt on some bullsh*t technicality. You can’t get counted out tonight Whitehead. You can’t run! You coward! Tonight we’ll be in four sides of steel and I will mop the floor with yaaaaAAARGH!”

 

Seth Whitehead had obviously decided he wasn’t going to take any more of Robin DaLay’s ranting and vaulted the guard rail to attack the challenger from behind! Morality is a little grey in OWC. The two brawl in the ring and to the outside all the way back to the locker room. The crowd seem up for tonight’s main event.

Silas Odswald vs Lucas Danger – Last Man Standing match

This is it. I don’t know how I feel about having a 23 year old drug addict as a nemesis but I need him vanquished. And what better way than a Last Man Standing match? Plenty as it happens and not least because - you guessed it – Lucas is working strung out of his tiny little mind. Too late to do anything about it now. I’m hitting him and he’s hitting me and anything we attempted to plan is long gone. There’s a fury here between a (ex) dealer and his addict, a boss and his employee and no one is pulling anything. I think my nose might be broken and I’ve a fistful of green hair that says I’m not going down without a fight. This is exhausting. The finish comes, as we knew it would, with several chair shots and me lying prostrate across a table. Lucas climbs to the top rope at the second attempt and launches a Swanton Bomb to the outside, crashing us both through the woodwork. My ribs are on fire. Lucas staggers to his feet on nine, victorious.

Is it getting hotter in here? Ohh, Clare South is out. Alannah Myles’ ‘Black Velvet’ provides the perfect soundtrack for this sultry southern belle to melt the hearts and raise the temperature of every man in attendance. Clare pauses just long enough while stepping through the middle rope to ensure every eye is on her. Or part of her. My wandering mind is snapped into focus though with the chilling keys of John Carpenter’s Halloween Theme. It can mean only one thing and Martyr strides to the ring dragging his bloody chainsaw behind him. Whatever lustful thoughts may have been brewing tonight, they have withered and died when faced with the masked psychotic killer.

 

“HANAAAAAARRIIIIIIIIIIII!!!”

 

And that’s as much as we hear as Martyr pulls the chord on his chainsaw and holds it above his head maniacally. No one is nursing an awkward boner now.

Phobia vs Hurakan vs Romero

It’s a triple threat for OWC’s resident luchadores with their unique brand of flips and twirls. I don’t really understand what they do but Romero just hit a hurricanrana on Hurakan who hurricanrana’d Phobia without touching the mat. Is this wrestling? I don’t know but it’s fast-paced and the fans seem to be buying it. These guys go out and do their own thing and right now they’re having the match of the night. Counter after counter. Springboards. Dives. And a huge Moonsault to the outside from Phobia and all three men are down! I’m exhausted watching. They’re back in the ring and Hurakan attempts a Powerbomb on Romero but Phobia sweeps the leg. Inside cradle on Swipe Romero… he got him! Phobia wins a breathtaking bout (by OWC standards).

There are few perks to this job. Being put through a table by a huge Swanton Bomb is obviously not one of them but you’ll be surprised at the miraculous recovery I made in time to judge the bikini contest between Clare South, Heather B and Julie Forletta. No way was I missing this one. All three ladies look amazing and it’s hard to pick a winner. I put it to the crowd who cheer for each lady, each roar indiscernible from the last. Complete waste of my time. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe… Heather B wins. Clare South’s scowl is glorious.

Martyr vs Oniji Hanari – Casket match

So we don’t have much of a budget here but there is at least a casket. It’s a little ramshackle and there’s one or two nails protruding but you’d use it to bury a dog you’re not too fond of or, in this case, a wrestler. Martyr is out first, eyes intensely staring behind his bloodied hockey mask. You’d think he would’ve learned by now but no, from under the ring creeps Hanari and ambushes Martyr from behind. The match is not exactly high on quality, no scientific wrestling on show - this is two men hitting lumps out of one another and trying to force the other into a wooden box. It’s not rocket science. Martyr hits big slams and crazy dives, Hanari goes for low blows and sneak attacks. It’s everything their odd feud has been up to this point. The finish comes as Hanari rocks Martyr with two chair shots. Martyr is staggered but hoists Hanari up for the Judgement Slam. Hanari hits a third chair shot to power out of it and Martyr throws a huge lariat to knock the clown through the ropes and into the open casket. The lid is closed, the bell rings, the match is over.
Rating: E

 

 

It’s impossible to tell what Martyr is feeling behind that mask but he must be relieved this crazy feud is finally over. He begins a pained walk back down the aisle and the lights go out. Complete darkness. They come on back a moment later and the casket is open… and it’s empty. More mind games. Martyr approaches but the lights go out a second time. A few cell phone lights flick on - as if we have enough fans to make that work – but just as quickly the lights come back on…. And standing behind Martyr is an ENORMOUS F*CKING CLOWN!!!

He must be at least seven feet tall, dwarfing Martyr. The clown attacks with a huge double handed Chokeslam sending Martyr crashing through the casket! Martyr is obliterated. What have we just witnessed??

OWC Heavyweight Championship

Seth Whitehead (w/ Clare South) vs Robin DaLay – Cage match

Main event time. Both men go in with a count out victory a piece. Makes sense to put the decider in a cage. It’s almost like some structured narrative was put in place. And the title is on the line!! As with the previous matches it’s the size and brawn of the challenger against the champion being slightly quicker and more experienced. It’s back and forth action as each man tastes the cage and hits their signature moves. DaLay hits a huge DaLay Down (Running Dominator) but there’s no pinfalls in this one, it’s escape only and Whitehead is able to regroup. After hitting two DDTs, the champion drags DaLay to the corner and ties his boot laces to the ring ropes! A weary Whitehead climbs the cage. DaLay is struggling to break free and it’s the headstart the champion needs. Whitehead drops to the floor as DaLay is stood in his socks angrily calling for a restart. Whitehead retains.

So, a good show. Maybe even a great show. My highest attendance and possibly best received. It’s not all great though as Oniji Hanari was high on painkillers. No one noticed but as someone who recognises these things I pulled him to one side and gave him a slap on the wrist. He’s never given me any trouble before and he seemed genuinely grateful. Lucas Danger, on the hand, is a permanent problem. A pharmaceutical nightmare. I didn’t shout at him, just shrugged. He thinks we’ve turned a corner. We’ve agreed one more match for him to put me over and then we’ll end the feud. He was so happy he gave me a huge embrace in my office. Genuinely. It’s going to be even sweeter when I have Texas Hangman rip him limb from scrawny limb. Heh. It really was a tight embrace. Aaaaand…. there’s something in my pocket.

Glorious. Truly glorious. Up to par with everything we've come to expect from this craptastic promotion.

 

You wonderful dude. Cheers! And loving the Santa avatar. Is there anyone under there or just a new pic?

 

 

Oh no! Hanari evolved into an even bigger evil clown!

 

Ha! If OWC did Russian dolls... No, wait...

 

 

So glad I've managed to finally find time to catch up with this glorious diary! :D

 

Rooting for DaLay just because he has a great song by my favourite band as his theme song!

 

Getting punked by Lucas Danger though! :eek:

 

Thank you for coming back man. I'm not a huge Ax7 fan but I do like that song and it fits his 'Canadian Nightmare' gimmick. And yeah, Lucas getting the last laugh. Imagine getting outwitted by that wreck-head.

 

 

It was horrible, great job

 

Ha, thank you. It's a great compliment that people get what I'm trying to do with this. It's appreciated.

 

 

So much fun reading these - the fact the owner is self aware and yet at the same time still willing to do horrible things makes it so entertaining.

 

Thanks, dude. Silas is an odd little man. I think he might be punishing himself.

 

 

I'm calling it: Clare South is the one pulling all these malicious backstage pranks on Oswald. You'd better let her win the next bikini contest.

 

Sorry man, it was Lucas all along. That contract at the end was his way of revealing himself and saying "You can't touch me - I'm outta here!"

 

 

Another great(?) show! I don't keep up with a lot of TEW diaries, but a good "comedy of errors" diary like this is truly something special!

 

Thank you man. What a lovely thing to say.

Aww....here I was hoping it was another transparent framing effort similar to how an obviously fake footprint was used to frame Anders.

 

Will this show ever be the same again without everyone's favourite crackhead?

Not familiar with that one but it's cool.

 

I use that guy as an annual recurring character in one of my games (in December, of course), punishing wrestlers who've been naughty and stuffing coals into their boots after beating them in a match.

 

He might actually fit quite well thematically in your little horror fed. Maybe you'd consider Ajax to fill up the hole that Lucas just left?

 

Although, he is loyal to Silas and he didn't leave unhappy....

 

That's why I didn't suspect him to be the culprit. I know you don't write entirely based on game mechanics (and I wouldn't have it any other way), but you've already mentioned that he was loyal in the story, so it didn't quite make sense for him to be doing all these things to his boss.

Or he could always hire someone else to play that character and use the portrait for the diary. Hiring Ajax/Criatura directly doesn't really sounds like Silas' style :D

Thanks guys, that’s some proper inspiration right there. The punishing wrestlers with coal in their boots is absolute genius. I’m going to have to do something like that, maybe not a direct rip-off but some sort of Santa in December, maybe just even Silas and then a rebel face to nail the Stunner. :D But yeah as DarK RaideR said, it could easily be anyone. I’m hiring quite a few dreadful regens at the moment...

 

Lucas is loyal but I think I was going with something about their fractured relationship when Silas stopped selling him drugs. I dunno, I half arsed it and didn’t explain it properly. Totally in keeping with OWC.
