The prize better be a T-shirt! ;)

 

Even better! The opportunity to potentially decide the direction of OWC and the future of the company as a whole! Well, not really, but it could be fun.

Comments: the evil clown is utterly awful and Martyr vaguely isn't

 

Hanari is woeful. :D

 

There you go!

 

Thanks man.

 

 

Thanks to all who have cast their predictions. Still plenty of time to get more in before the show is posted (shameful bump).

Aw man, great to have you back. Your WC.W diary was the inspiration for this calamitous mess. I hope you're thinking of bringing that back at some point. That would be awesome.

So Mad Dog Mortimer likes to walk a fine line. Another month, another missed booking meeting. There’s no road agent, it’s just me. We sit, I talk, they pretend to listen, we all do our own thing. How hard is that? Mad Dog gets another fine. Nothing happened but I reckon his momma’s gonna start asking questions when he gets back to her trailer.

A balmy evening in Des Moines sees me open SummerSham in a bright mood. This is our biggest show to date and I’m feeling good about it. As is customary I open the show, pleasantly greeting the fans and taking their abuse in good humour. I have a match tonight and call out Lucas Danger.

 

No answer.

 

I call him again. Still no answer.

 

This is getting embarrassing as I can’t remember what I’ve booked. My drinking has taken on a new level since I’ve found I enjoy rum based cocktails. Isn’t day drinking fun? So... is Lucas supposed to stay in the back or is he slumped over a desk and being drawn on by concerned colleagues? Or is he being carted off in ambulance somewhere? Definitely something worth knowing. Hmm, people are staring. The silence is broken by Alice in Chains’ Man In The Box and out comes Seth Whitehead. He’s dropped the New York street tough routine and now wears an OWC t-shirt off the merch table. He walks past me, stopping only to snatch the microphone from my hand, and calls out Anders Thunder. Anders answers, standing in the entrance way with Julie Forletta hanging from his arm. The two exchange insults as I stand to the side completely redundant. Anders is confident but Whitehead has the last word.

 

“Thunder, you have something that belongs to me. No, not the dumb broad that shaves your back and sticks needles in your butt – the OWC Heavyweight Championship. Take a long hard look at that belt, Anders. You won’t be seeing it for a very long time. Shine it up real nice because tonight it’s coming home with me.”

 

Tough words.

Mad Dog Mortimer vs Danjuro Kikuchi

This looks to be one of Mort’s finer outings for OWC. That’s a compliment for Cowboy Dan because if he can make Mad Dog almost look like a wrestler and not some shambling homeless drunk then he could have a job anywhere. It’s the wild brawling of Mort vs Kikuchi’s slick finesse. Odd how a haymaker to the temple will win out every time. Kikuchi gets his bell rung and Mort wins the opening match at SummerSham.

Martyr vs Oniji Hanari – House of Horrors match

Oh man, what did I agree to here? The parking lot now has a truck in it towing one of those shabby, haunted houses you get at county fairs. It’s old and worn and it smells of decades of small children’s urinations. Martyr approaches it with trepidation and peers into the poorly lit entrance. He knows Oniji Hanari is waiting for him in there. Referee Greg Chapman bumbles behind him with the handheld camera and provides Martyr a torch. He ignores him and climbs the creaking ramp onto the trailer. Greg’s torch illuminates all manner of crap: bats on string, a witch on a broom, one of those distorted mirrors that make you look fat… Martyr takes a second look but it’s too late. That’s not a fat mirror, it’s Leopard King in an orange boiler suit dressed like Martyr! The two brawl into walls and onto the hard trailer floor. It’s really not a safe environment for a child. This welcome distraction is all Hanari needs as he slips through a side panel and attacks Martyr with a shovel. Martyr swings wildly at his foes and fights back, rocking Hanari and taking out Leopard with a heavy right hook. This rumbles on until Oniji hits Martyr with a low blow and throws him off the ramp on to an adjacent car. Oniji Hanari, grinning madly, pounces and delivers a Stump Piledriver through the car windshield. The referee counts three and this one is over. What the hell have we just witnessed??

I began this show, like anyone who has ever employed him, yelling for Lucas Danger. Seemingly he’s been found, prodded enough times and tested that he can remain vertical. And someone’s given him a mic.

 

“Silas Odswald, you sack of sh*t. Are we gonna do this or what? You broke my hand, motherf*cker. I think it’s time I broke something of yours. Let’s do this.”

 

If this promo were written down it would be in crayon.

Silas Odswald vs Lucas Danger

This is a slug-fest from the off. Lucas actually looks up for this fight, unlike in recent weeks. What this match lacks in technical wrestling it makes up for in brawling you’d be lucky to see in any bar on a regular Friday night. Tuesday afternoon if you’re in Oklahoma. Silas, which is me, catches Lucas with a clothesline off the second rope for a near fall and I gesture to the crowd that it’s time for the Oddlander (cutter). A smash in the face from Danger’s cast sends my head spinning… right into an Oddlander! Lucas stole my damn move! The referee makes the count and Lucas wins! FML.

Hurakan vs Phobia

A whirlwind of high flying luchadore action as new boy Phobia faces off with the undefeated Hurakan. Phobia had made a statement by targetting Hurakan and telling him his streak would come to an end by his hand. The two young men go at it and provide fast-paced action with several near falls. Phobia comes close with Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker and a Slingshot Legdrop. Hurakan returns with a Flying Headscissors and a Springboard Dropkick. With both men close to breaking point, Phobia snatches at a Short Powerbomb and uses the ropes for leverage. The referee doesn’t see it and counts three. Phobia wins on his debut!

The life of a wrestling promoter is supposed to be a gruelling, unrewarding job... and at times it is. And yet tonight, at the hottest party of the summer, there’s a beauty contest to be judged by yours truly. Sometimes it really does pay to be the boss. Clare South’s out first in a slinky red dress that looks like it’s been painted on. The fans whistle their approval. Heather B is out next in a slashed Ramones t-shirt and the tiniest jean-shorts you could imagine. More wolf whistles. This one’s gonna be close. I try and take a vote from the fans by way of hollering and it looks like Heather will edge it, only for Clare to peel off her dress to reveal tantalising lingerie. I’m in heaven. The crowd goes wild.

 

“Well I guess that’s decided then… your winner...”

 

No! Heather, not to be out done, whips off her shorts and flings her t-shirt into the crowd. There really isn’t a lot left to imagine. She stands in a tiny g-string with her bare breasts strategically covered in black tape. If all sounds like the perverse fantasy of a corrupt boss then you’d be absolutely right but even I couldn’t have asked for it to go this well! Two absolute stunners standing in next to nothing and I can’t choose. Happily, I don’t have to. The fans roar their approval and Heather B wins. Clare seethes.

OWC Heavyweight Championship

Anders Thunder vs Seth Whitehead

Main event time and both men look like they are ready to bring it. Thunder, despite his obvious limitations, looks an impressive brawler and Whitehead is always ready to raise his game another notch. It’s a fitting main event as both score near falls and Seth comes closest with a Diving Headbutt from the top rope. In the melee that follows, referee Gregory Chapman takes an errant elbow and goes down. Seth scores big with a huge Butterfly Powerbomb but there’s no one to count the cover. Julie Forletta sees the opportunity and snatches the ring bell. She slides in and takes a swing at Whitehead but he sees her coming and blocks the shot. He takes Forletta out with a jumping piledriver and stands, arms spread wide, in his now familiar OWC pose. Seth turns back to the champion… and walks into a big boot to the face. Anders Thunder takes a run up and hits the HUGE LEGDROP just in time for the referee to gather his marbles. One... two... three! Anders Thunder retains.

Backstage I make sure to mention to Anders Thunder that, even though he's my champion, he's still terrible in the ring.

 

"I don't care."

 

Doesn't care that I think he's terrible or doesn't care that he's actually terrible? Hmmm.

EBEZA – 2

Blake Trask – 3

BlueStar – 3

christmas ape – 3

dstephe4 – 2

Leohunter – 3

Darin Walker - 3

 

Ok, so we've got ourselves a bit of tie.

 

If you scored 3 points (sorry EBEZA and dstephe4) please drop me a private message stating who you would like to FIRE!!

 

Your options are:

 

Danjuro Kikuchi (my worker), Leopard King (my comedy figure), Lucas Danger (my drug addict) or Anders Thunder (my champion). They will have one appearance left so that they can be buried on their way out, as is tradition.

 

Please keep your choice a secret (but tell me, obviously) as I'd like to see if I can work a story from it. Please also include a reason why you would like to fire them in case we have more ties.

Is fitting that your biggest show is definitely my favourite yet. I could make the argument for any of these to get the sack...

 

Danjuro is actually decent, so in a world of outcasts he's the weird one that doesn't fit in.

 

Leopard King I just feel sorry for so maybe it would be best to send him home.

 

Lucas... well is Lucas. And he just stole your move you can't allow that to go unpunished.

 

As for Anders I feel like it would be very OWC for them to have to fire their strongly booked champion for some reason!

 

But I'll message who my vote goes to now.

I had begun the day in an unusually good mood. I had spent the weekend before at a fairground I visited as a child. I rode the ferris wheel, ate cotton-candy and made sure I was the last one on the carousel. I got some strange looks from on-looking parents but I remembered this horse from my childhood. I had named him Binky. Though his paint was peeling, and his toothy grin chipped and broken, it took me back to a simpler time where images were more vibrant and sounds more lifting. I wondered if this is what a concussion felt like.

 

SummerSham had been a success. My biggest draw. I took a moment to bask in my achievements and stare at the newly hung picture of myself at the fairground. I admired the chunky – some may say garish – gold frame. I look amazing in it. It was such a happy day. Though my office is the old, grungy janitor’s room this picture brings some much needed class. I will treasure it.

 

The knock on the door was as startling as it was unwelcome. Before I could answer, Leopard King barged his way in to complain about his push. Apparently he was under the misapprehension that he came here to save the company and be a star. I didn’t appreciate the intrusion nor the finger pointed inches from my face. Leopard had some mighty big cajones for a man still dressed in animal print. Between thumb and fore-finger I firmly removed the digit and raised myself out of the battered old La-Z-Boy I’d had installed. I poured myself a scotch. There was no offer to Leopard. I made it clear that I would see his furry form skinned and mounted on my wall as a trophy if he didn’t vamoose pronto. The barrage of guttural Spanish left me in no uncertain terms of his thoughts on that.

 

I eased back into the worn recliner and let the liquor wash over me. I really am great.

 

The next knock caused me to flinch and spill my glass. A heinous crime that would demand recompense. Danjuro “Cowboy Dan” Kikuchi stuck his head round the door. It’s the after-show party – why can’t people leave me to celebrate alone? The wide brim of his stetson entered before he did but both were just as uninvited. Apparently Dan had concerns for my immortal soul and couldn’t wait a moment longer to pray with me. I told him he should have concerns for his mortal body and to vacate my office before I bludgeon him with a stack of hymn sheets.

 

Is it any wonder I drink? I could be doing anything with my life. I wondered whether it would be possible to ride the fairground carousel endlessly and have lithe young women dressed like horses pass me drinks. They would go clip-clop and I would smile. Mmm.

 

The next intrusion really boiled my piss. Lucas Danger trying to score drugs. Seriously?! After all the sh*t he’s put me through he’s still hell-bent on his road to destruction and determined to take me with him. I hit him first but he hit harder. We both took a moment. I explained I’m not dealing drugs anymore, not since attendances have gone up. I can make half-decent money almost legally. Drugs are for losers. This enraged Lucas but I held up a finger and paused to neck the remainder of my glass. My jaw hurt. I was about to say something profound but I was distracted by this odd, pungent smell. Lucas looked equally offended by it. The brutally strong cologne of Anders Thunder announced itself moments before he did and the pair crashed into my office.

 

At this point I should probably disclose an earlier encounter between myself and the champ.

 

* * *

 

“Hey, dickless! I’m sick of seeing rest holds two minutes into my main event because you’re blown up and blowing out your ass like a fat kid scrabbling for an inhaler. Learn to work or go and poison some other wrestling show. I’m tired of carrying your jacked up ass. You’re dropping the belt as soon as I make my mind up on who’s most deserving to lead this company. Hell, I might even crown myself champ. You are, without a doubt, the sorriest excuse of a champion since they learned to rivet gold to leather!”

 

This might not have been the right way to motivate. You can only hit a donkey with a two-by-four so many times…

 

* * *

 

I woke several hours later. My jaw hurt. The La-Z-Boy lay on its side and my desk had been over-turned. Nothing appeared to be missing. A couple of liquor bottles lay empty but, honestly, that could’ve been me.

 

My attention was drawn to the size sixteen boot print in the centre of the small room. I had bought myself a delicious apple pie as a post show treat and someone had deliberately set it on the floor and stepped on it. However, a defiled pie was the least of my concerns as my gaze fell upon the wall.
