[CVerse] DIW: Nice Boys Don't Play Rock and Roll!

DarK_RaideR · July 1, 2019

“See that’s the thing Josh. We’re God’s unwanted children, all of us. Take a look around. Think any of us could hold a 9 to 5 job? No. So, we fight. Not just for our meal ticket, we fight for everything. Ain’t one thing that’s been handed to us in this life. Not one thing that’s been easy. And that is Why We Fight.”

The Comedian cracked open a Foster’s and raised the bottle in salute to the words of his former ally and employee, Menace to Sobriety, as the opening segment of Josh Rosenberg’s 2014 “Why We Fight” documentary transitioned to the DVD menu options. A cult hit with both hardcore wrestling fans and Sundance indie hipsters around the world, this to him was more than the crucial money shot that kept his promotion going through hard times. He’d sit down every once in a while, have a few beers, smoke a bunch and watch it again, even if he knew every line by this point. It was relaxing, it was nostalgic but most of all, it was grounding. It reminded him why, at 40 years of age, he was still taking chair shots and getting put through tables. Why he was still promoting shows and running a company in the East Coast of Australia, even if he’d handed down creative duties to his long time friend Big Jim Teasdale after the very first show.

“People know it’s scripted, you can’t change that. What you can do is make what they’re watching so exciting, they get swept away and forget it’s scripted. That’s why I fight the way I do. If you’re gonna do it, might as well go all the way.”

Mayhem Mulhoney’s face filled the screen, any space left was filled by the fuzzy mane he had for hair. Alongside the Comedian, he was one of the true originals of DIW. The wild fist-fighter had been there since the first show, actually one of the first few people to be hired when the company was created. Their feud was what put the promotion on the map during its early days. Like the Comedian, he was willing to wrestle under any stipulation and take any bump, no matter how insane. In a way, they were two sides of the same coin, but right now it felt like a mirror’s reflection and the Comedian didn’t like what he saw in it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Oi mate” he heard the gruff voice of Big Jim on the other end of the phone line. You didn’t have to see the man to know he looked like a grizzly bear, his voice carried that across just fine. No wonder he ended up behind the announcers’ table after retiring from the ring.

“We need to go all the way, Jim” he said, skipping the formalities. “All the f**king way.”

“The hell’s that supposed to mean?” Teasdale sounded confused.

“I’m taking the book back. I gotta go all the way” the Comedian responded. “Run the shows."

Teasdale paused, taking in the news. “Did I do something wrong?”

“F**k no, Jim! This ain’t about you, mate. I ain’t got much left in the tank. I gotta prepare for what happens after I hang up my boots. I can’t manage people and I sure as hell cannot be an Authority Figure, I’m the exact f**king opposite of that. Was thinking you might be that, actually. People know you as the booker and as my friend. It makes sense. We’ll be the ones defending the company against Pinn Enterprises.”

Big Jim snorted on the other end of the line. “Sounds like you got a bunch of ideas already, mate. Means you can still land on your head few more times ‘till you retire.”

“Oh I got a sh*tload of ideas, ol’ friend. Bunch o’ people I wanna bring in. Stories we could tell. Characters. Twists. Spots. Tweaks to our style.”

“Tweaks?” Teasdale cut him off, a hint of worry in his tone.

“Nothing major, ol’ timer. Just cut down on the sexual stuff a bit, focus on the action. Add some high flying action to the mix so kids like ECP have a place in the mix. I’ve already contacted Marv’s, we got the place booked for every Friday night. People gonna come in after a week of getting f**ked at their jobs…”

“EVERY Friday?” Teasdale cut him off again. “Whaddya mean EVERY Friday? It’s not a TV show mate! We’ll go bankrupt before the end of the year!”

“If you’re gonna do it, might as well go all the way” the Comedian repeated Mayhem Mulhoney’s words, stroking his own ego in satisfaction. “People go for a drink after work anyway, might as well down it watching our show. Word’ll spread faster and we’ll make up for the losses with increasing tickets every week.”

“I don’t know how the boys’ll take it though. Cuts down their recovery time real bad. You know the atmosphere backstage is anything but...nice.”

“They’re no wimps Jim, I bet they’ll suck it up in return for a more frequent pay” the Comedian reassured his long time friend, knowing both their trust in the roster’s resilience was well placed.

“Besides..."

Nice Boys don’t play Rock and Roll

Author’s note: I know I promised myself I wouldn’t start any new diaries until TEW2020 comes out, but I really wanted to try something different than my usual stuff with this one. Most of the times I try to run/write/crank out shows at a real fast pace and that takes a toll on both my booking and my writing, especially with promotions that aren’t stripped down to the core essentials of no-frills in-ring performance. DIW is one of my top 3 hardcore promotions alongside GSW and WEXXV, as well as one that doesn’t seem to get a lot of love from diary writers, so I chose it for this story. The goal is to challenge myself and slow down the rate of running/posting shows in exchange for better presentation and writing.

christmas_ape · July 2, 2019

I do love to see some of the less used c-verse companies getting a diary and that was a great opening, so I second Historians comments!

HiPlus · July 2, 2019

I am so keen for this diary. I can't wait to see who gets signed. I remember following your GSW one. So this also excites me greatly. That and I have a fondness for Aussie C-Verse feds. If you want ideas on who you should hire, definitely don't be afraid to ask.

AS a side note, I don't think there have been too many DIW diaries in 2016 that have actually progressed far at all, so excited to see how their lesser guys like Panther and such develop.

I will be happy to have you around.

I do love to see some of the less used c-verse companies getting a diary and that was a great opening, so I second Historians comments!

Thanks! Like I said, I'll try to cut down on my usually frantic output in order to work on the quality of my writing, so your comments on the introduction are a sign I'm on the right path and some motivating stuff too. As for giving underused promotions some love, I'm right there with you. Said DIW is one of my top 3 hardcore promotions in the CVerse, but it's also my favourite promotion from down under alongside ZEN. Unfortunately, I'm not that familiar with the lucha wackiness and comedy to book/write it well, plus here seem to be a fair number of ZEN diaries around here at all times, hence my decision to stick with DIW for this one.

I am so keen for this diary. I can't wait to see who gets signed. I remember following your GSW one. So this also excites me greatly. That and I have a fondness for Aussie C-Verse feds. If you want ideas on who you should hire, definitely don't be afraid to ask.

Hey there HiPlus, great to have you here and even greater you have such memories of my GSW diary! I've signed a bunch of new people, which is also why I'm not bothering with a "starting roster" post. Some folks might leave soon, a lot of new faces have already been signed and I don't want to spoil any surprises.

On that not, I should give out a big shout-out to the community for inspiring and supporting my various diaries, as well as the re-renderers whose work I'll be using. Asaemon, King Bison, poputt, shipshirt, willr0ck and many others whose names escape me right now, thank you so much for everything you do. Special thanks to Historian, who's been a constant source of inspiration and drive with his now-legendary RMW/CWL The Climb diary, as well as our on and off chats behind the scenes. Last but not least, many thanks to FINisher (check out his recent WEXXV diary!) for helping me with embeding YouTube videos to my posts, I've always loved matching workers to entrance themes and being able to use videos in my diaries to showcase that is amazing.

DIW Violent Delight

Date: Friday, Week 1 of January 2016

Location: Marv’s Sports Central, Eastern Australia

Attendance: 300 (sold out)

Dean Hawkins: "Hello everyone, from Marv’s Sports Central in Sydney Australia, I’m Dean Hawkins, this is Deep Impact Wrestling and I’m looking for my broadcast partner, Big Jim Teasdale..."

Big Jim Teasdale’s music theme from back in his wrestling days plays as the show kicks off. The big mastodon comes out carrying a black bag slung over his shoulder and instead of his usual seat on the announcers’ table, he grabs a microphone from it and heads straight to the ring.

BJT: “Alright, listen up… I know all you losers made your New Year’s Resolutions a few days ago and I bet most of you have already broken them… but I’m here to talk about mine, because it’s more important than anything you ever hoped you’ll do this year… See, I’ve had enough of sitting in that table calling the action… Everyone knows I call the shots around here, so I might as well stop pretending I’m not…”

Dumfrey Pinn’s music interrupts Big Jim Teasdale and moments later, the CEO of Pinn Enterprises Ltd. comes out to join him in the ring with a sly smile on his face. One of the few men on the roster who can make Big Jim look small in comparison, Pinn gets in his face for a tense moment, but then backs down and signals he just wants to talk. Reluctantly, Teasdale hands him the microphone.

Pinn: “Really, Jim? You’re the one who calls the shots around here? Because last time I checked, Pinn Enterprises Ltd was the one paying for all of this… We call it ‘sponsorship’ of course, but we all know MY money is the only thing that’s keeping this sorry excuse of a wrestling promotion from going bankrupt… The only way DIW can make money is with me as its champion, so I can usher in a new era of sports entert…”

The familiar theme of DIW’s icon cuts Pinn off before he can finish speaking those two dreaded words and the crowd’s boos turn into cheers as the cigarette-smoking badass joins Teasdale and Pinn in the ring. Before things come to blows, Big Jim resumes control of the mic.

BJT: “Gentlemen… boys, please… I know you’re both after Tombstone’s title... and each other’s throats… but I’m actually here to announce a brand new title!”

Teasdale reaches into his bag and pulls out a championship belt, which he raises up high for all to see

BJT: ”See, if we’re going to hold a weekly show on Fridays on top of our monthly events, I figured this will be useful… and since no channel has the balls to put our product on TV, we’re not calling this the DIW Television title… we’ll call it for what this company truly stands for… and in the following months, hold a huge tournament to crown the first ever… DIW Hardcore champion!”

Fans cheer at the sound of the announcement, but Dumfrey Pinn doesn’t look like he’s done yet.

Pinn: “Well at least you’re right about one thing, Jim… This company’s never getting a TV deal as long as it sticks to this hardcore garbage… But you’re wrong about the champion… Because while my men capture the DIW Tag Team titles and I get my hands on the DIW Championship… I’ve brought in just the man to win that belt…"

Vance Sturt comes out to a hailstorm of boos as he struts his way to the ring. It doesn’t help that the last time anyone saw him, he was working for DIW’s arch-rivals, APW. Sturt rolls into the ring next to Pinn and the two of them look like they’re ready to butt heads with the Comedian and, if need be, Teasdale as well. Once again though, Big Jim defuses the situation.

BJT: “Save it, boys… See that’s where you’re wrong, Pinn… Because you went ahead and hired this man without checking in with me first and that means he’s not in the tournament… We’re gonna start the tournament qualifiers right now, but I’m sensing some real heat here… so he’s gonna be in tonight’s main event instead… against the Comedian!”

Once again, fans cheer at the announcement. Pinn, Sturt and the Comedian exchange insults off the mic but eventually go their separate ways, the night’s main event set for later in the show.

DIW Hardcore Championship Tournament Qualifier

East Coast Panther vs Milton Hittlespitz

For quite some time, Milton Hittlespitz has been the smallest competitor on the DIW roster, but that all changed once East Coast Panther joined the promotion. Now it’s down to a competition of reckless daredevil spots between them for a chance to become the inaugural DIW Hardcore champion, a rarity for both men who usually play the role of plucky underdog against much larger opponents.

ECP uses his natural athleticism to catch his opponent by surprise with a quick sequence of kicks, flips and rolls that force Hittlespitz to roll out of the ring in search of a break. Offering no quarter, Panther hits the ropes and takes to the air with a big suicide dive!

The follow up is poor though, his enthusiasm making him overconfident and allowing his opponent to counter with a drop toe hold that knocks him jaw first onto the barricade. Now in charge and perfectly in his comfort zone, Hittlespitz grabs a chair and unloads on his fallen opponent, making full use of DIW’s rules never involving countouts or disqualifications. Once satisfied, he pulls out a table from under the ring and slides it in, rolling back in to set it up against a corner. In the time it takes to do that, ECP is able to recover and slingshots himself in with a crossbody that connects just as Milton is heading back to pick him up. Panther hits a standing moonsault, into the cover…

One…

Two…

Two count only!

Rolling senton from ECP, then another cover.

One…

Two…

Two! Hittlespitz kicks out!

Hittlespitz just won’t stay down! Realizing he needs to pull out the big guns, Panther climbs the top turnbuckle for his 720 Splash finisher!

Hittlespitz rolls to the side just before impact!

He then lines the shot as he waits for ECP to stand back up…

FLYING KNEE! THROUGH THE TABLE ON THE CORNER! THAT’S GOT TO BE IT!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: Milton Hittlespitz

Hawkins: What a way to start DIW’s brand new weekly show, Violent Delight! First a bunch of huge announcements, now this crazy match and Milton Hittlespitz is now in the DIW Hardcore championship tournament!

BJT: Fans... Dean… we’re only getting started!

Milton Hittlespitz emerges from the splinters of the shattered table on the corner, but before he has a chance to savour his victory, a masked man in a cape and fancy hat rushes to the ring with a steel chair in his hands.

Hawkins: Isn’t that…

The attack is quick and brutal, leaving an already worn out Hittlespitz down on the mat. His assailant pauses momentarily, his mask and trademark hat now for all to see.

Hawkins: That’s Jester! What’s he doing here?

BJT: Guess he was too out of control for Kiwiland…

Jester slides a table into the ring, sets it up and lays Hittlespitz on it. He then grabs a chair and climbs to the top turnbuckle…

Hawkins: Is he… OH MY GOD! ATOMIC ARABIAN FACEBUSTER! THROUGH THE TABLE!

BJT: That’s it, Milton’s dead…

Jester removes his hat and takes a fancy bow as fans chant “D-I-Dub!” in approval of his hardcore antics. He then leaves the scene as medical personnel rush in to check on Milton Hittlespitz.

w

The Barracudas (Vaughan, Blitz Simpson and Chopper Rourke) vs Pinn Enterprises Ltd (Angus McMiller, Mace Mueller and Wez Dobberly, with Lori)

Both groups entangled in a brutal rivalry since Pinn’s henchmen were sent out to attack Vaughan, the fight literally spills out of the backstage area as all six men apparently have been already brawling out of everyone else’s sight. No actual entrances are made and the same goes for tags, making this a de facto tornado tag match. Keeping track of everything in this chaos is hard for the viewers, let alone the referee and announcers. That said, it’s no wonder Lori also gets involved down the line, but her distracting ways eventually come to an end when Blitz Simpson evades a Punt Kick from Mace Mueller, letting her take the shot that lays her out. It’s back to three on three for a while, but not for long…

...because Pinn’s latest acquisition, Vance Sturt, is sent out to once again tip the scales in favor of Pinn Enterprises Ltd. The numbers game catches up to the trio of ex-cons and in an ironically redeeming finale, Simpson is brought to his knees as Mace Mueller lines up the shot.

He charges…

Punt Kick! Caught Blitz Simpson right in the head!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winners: Pinn Enterprises Ltd (Angus McMiller, Mace Mueller and Wez Dobberly)

Tombstone makes his way to the ring, carrying the DIW Championship title belt on his shoulder. He motions for a microphone and turns to address Big Jim Teasdale on the announcers’ table.

Tombstone: “Big Jim with the big news tonight… Yeah this new DIW Hardcore title may be hot, but this…”

Tombstone taps the DIW Championship belt on his shoulder.

Tombstone: “This is what it’s all about. This is still the number one prize in Deep Impact Wrestling… and I’m the number one guy for holding it. Dumfrey Pinn… you wanna take this from me and turn DIW into the same sh*tshow people get when they tune in to the A.S.N. on Friday nights… come and get it… if you can!”

Fans cheer and Tombstone hoists his title up high before leaving to return backstage.

Hawkins: Strong words from the DIW Champion!

BJT: I’m with him on this one.

Hawkins: Does this mean you’ll make the match?

BJT: It’s bound to go down, sooner or later… For now, we got a big main event coming up!

w

The Comedian vs Vance Sturt (with Dumfrey Pinn)

Apparently the Comedian visited some nearby construction site since the start of the show, because he comes out pushing a single-wheeled cart full of wooden boards, iron bars, a hammer and all sorts of items he intends to use as weapons. Fans give their (anti)hero a big welcome and he salutes them by pulling out a shovel from his cart, which he raises up in the air…

WHACK!

Hawkins: Dumfrey Pinn got hit right across the face with the wide end of the shovel! He didn't expect that!

BJT: That’s one way to take him out of the equation!

Vance Sturt rushes out to the aid of his employer and the Comedian swings the shovel once more. This time Sturt knew what was coming and ducks underneath it, before kicking the Comedian in the midsection…

Hawkins: DDT onto the cart! The Comedian goes head first into his collection of toys!

Now in firm control of the match, Sturt pulls out anything he can grab from the cart and tests it on the Comedian’s body. In a moment of desperation, the Comedian sweeps his opponents leg and Sturt falls back first onto the cart!

Hawkins: Both men are down!

BJT: Dumfrey Pinn as well!

The Comedian gets back on his feet first and pulls Sturt up by the hair to unload on his face with punches, forearms, elbow shots and top it all off with a reckless headbutt. Sturt is down once more and that gives the Comedian enough time to set up a table. He can’t get his opponent on it though, because Sturt springs back to life as he’s pulled there and fights out of a tight spot. The two men brawl well into the audience and all the way to the bar of Marv’s Sports Central, where Sturt grabs a bottle of beer and smashes it on the head of the Comedian! The sound is sickening, glass shards fly everywhere and the Comedian is bleeding!

Hawkins: Sturt really has no shame in the tactics he’s willing to employ

BJT: Talk about a barroom brawler… And some folks cry over unprotected chair shots to the head!

Groggy from the shot, the Comedian somehow looks to be all the more fired up by the violence and the sensation of his own blood, which has Sturt in shock. This man’s a maniac! Venting his frustration and adrenaline, the Comedian unloads a flurry of blows onto Sturt before he grabs him by the hair and slams him face first onto the bar, its surface still littered with glass shards!

Hawkins: Now it’s Vance Sturt who’s also bleeding!

BJT: You know what they say about payback...

The Comedian drags his battered opponent back into the ring, but halfway there...

WHACK!

The Comedian gets hit by a charging Mack truck in the form of a recovered Dumfrey Pinn! The CEO of Pinn Enterprises Ltd. yells at his man to get back into the ring, then picks up the Comedian.

Hawkins: Oh no… Pinn’s picking up speed…

BOSS-A-NOVA! ONTO THE TABLE THE COMEDIAN HAD SET UP EARLIER!

Pinn’s Leaping Side Slam finisher drives the Comedian through a table and probably leaves him out cold, but that’s not the end of it. Pinn pulls his victim out of the wreckage, rolls him into the ring and gets there himself as he holds him up. Sturt charges…

High Knee!

Cover!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: Vance Sturt

Hawkins: Vance Sturt makes his presence felt bigtime, he’s really tipped the odds in favor of Pinn Enterprises Ltd… First he helps them get a victory over the Barracudas, now he just pinned the friggin’ Comedian!

BJT: Guess I’ll have my hands full with Pinn and his cronies for a while… But I got just the thing in mind… for next week!

Blame the TITANVerse, but somehow I thought 80s Rock and Wrestling era was your cup of tea Happy to have you here and again thanks for the re-renders *cough* Barracudas *cough* Tombstone *cough*

Okay, I'm in! Love the DIW roster and I can't wait to see what you do with it. Cough, cough more explosives, cough cough tanks filled with dangerous creatures.

Frankly, you knocked the FMW vibe off the park with that WEXXV diary of yours and now FINisher is doing the same, so I went elsewhere. This incarnation of DIW is more about legit tough guys in -literal- bar room brawls and hardcore spots over stipulations. I am however saving some crazy stuff for the big monthly events, overusing them in the weekly shows would wear out the novelty factor big time.

Speaking of which, for those curious about the product, I turned down Risque, taking it from pop>perf to pop=perf. Also, Daredevil was beefed up a bit to eliminate the Aerial skill penalty, hence ECP vs Hittlespitz was the way it was and Jester was hired.

DIW Violent Delight

Date: Friday, Week 2 of January 2016

Location: Marv’s Sports Central, Eastern Australia

Attendance: 300 (sold out)

Dumfrey Pinn comes out but instead of the ring, he heads to one of the ringside staff tables. After bullying a young DIW employee away, he pulls a cable and connects it to a phone he produces from the pocket of his jacket. A shaky video, probably footage shot with the very same phone, starts to play on the screen above the wrestlers’ entrance.

Pinn: “Last week, I stood in that ring and said I’m the man who really calls the shots here. Roll that video!”

The video shows Lori, fresh out of the shower and with a towel wrapped around her slender frame, barely concealing her… physical assets. The young valet walks out to a hallway and almost stumbles into something she hadn’t seen there.

That something is the DIW Champion, Tombstone. There’s a moment of awkwardness and a hint of sexual tension in the air, but that’s soon gone as the massive frame of Dumfrey Pinn assaults Tombstone from behind, putting the boot to him and beating him down before Pinn bullies whoever it shooting the video into turning the camera off.

Pinn: “Last week, Tombstone decided to question my power when he challenged me… and this is what he got for it… so let this be a clear message to him, to Comedian, everybody back in that locker room and you over there, Teasdale… Pinn Enterprises Ltd. own DIW and soon I will own that title as well!”

Hawkins: What the hell? Pinn took out the DIW Champion with that sneak attack! He used Lori as a distraction!

Dressed in the sparkliest, most glittery ring gear possible, former RAW star Blaze Maximum makes a grand entrance, accompanied by Ceri Dordevich, of “The Great Australian Bake Challenge” fame.

Blaze: “Oooooooh yeeeeeah… Don’t rub your eyes for they do not deceive you, it’s no illusion, no imposter, it’s your dream come true because Blaze Maximum has arrived in Deep Impact Wrasslin’... I got my trunks and I got my tights and I got my hat and I got my glasses, I got Miss Cerizabeth by my side and these guns at the ready…”

Blaze Maximum flexes his -steroid enhanced- biceps before continuing.

Blaze: “I’m about to punch someone in the face and punch my ticket to this hot new tournament because mark my worrrrdds, Blaze Maximum is going to be the first ever, the one, the only, DIW Harrrdcorrre chammmpion, ooh yeaaaah….”

Hawkins: This man’s delusional!

BJT: We’ll see about that, he’s got quite the opponent to deal with right now, Dean...

DIW Hardcore Championship Tournament Qualifier

w

Bob Shrunkle vs Blaze Maximum (with Miss Cerizabeth)

400-pounder Bob “The Blob” Shrunkle is the definition of what-you-see-is-what-you-get: Blaze Maximum starts the match with some pretty theatrical offensive moves, which Shrunkle completely no-sells before simply shoving his opponent away. He then goes for a basic splash on top of him, but he’s so slow and plodding that Blaze has no problem avoiding the move.

Blaze realizes his opponent is slow and already goes for the top rope pretty early in the match, dropping a beautiful elbow off the top turnbuckle! He then floats over for the cover…

One…

Two…

Two! Shrunkle bench-presses him up and tosses him away in a stunning display of strength!

Blaze is quickly back on his feet before his opponent and sets up his next move already…

Maximum Overdrive! Shrunkle hits the mat head first!

Cover!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: Blaze Maximum

Hawkins: Big win for Blaze Maximum over the big 400lb monster, he just booked himself a spot in the DIW Hardcore championship tournament!

Big Jim Teasdale takes off his headset and stands up, waiting for the competitors to clear the ring before he addresses the audience.

BJT: “Last week, Pinn Enterprises Ltd. ran amok… but that’s what they usually do. However… they crossed a line when Mace Mueller hit a penalty kick using Blitz Simpson’s head as a ball… and while he’s out recovering from that shot… his fellow Barracudas are out for blood! So in tonight’s main event, I’ll give them just that because it will be Chopper Rourke and Vaughan… against Mace Mueller and Vance Sturt!”

Fans cheer and Teasdale lets the reaction die down before continuing.

BJT: “Of course, no one expects Pinn and his lackeys to put up a fair fight… so I’ll make sure that by that time, they’ll be in no condition to affect the outcome of the match… because next up, it’ll be Angus McMiller.... versus Wez Dobberly… in a DIW Hardcore tournament qualifier match!”

Fans cheer once more, but Teasdale isn’t done just yet.

BJT: “I am not sorry for what is going to happen to Pinn Enterprises Ltd. tonight… Vance Sturt... you brought this upon yourself… and Mace Mueller… I hope you survive this match tonight… because the next time you’re in that ring again… it’ll be against Blitz Simpson… in a DIW Hardcore tournament qualifier match!”

Milton Hittlespitz comes down to the ring. Before going in, he slides a table and a chair under the ropes.

Hawkins: “What on earth is he doing? What’s all that for?”

Hittlespitz sets up the table in the middle of the ring, then sets up the chair on top of it. He then motions for a microphone, climbs up and sits on the chair as he speaks.

Hittlespitz: “Last week, me and East Coast Panther blew the roof off of this place… We kicked off the DIW Hardcore championship tournament strong… and set the bar for the rest of the matches… but after the bell rang, some kiwi clown attacked me and drove himself, a chair and me through a table”

Hittlespitz pauses and looks down from where he’s sitting, as if he’s reliving the moment.

Hittlespitz: “It’s a long, hard way down… and I’m not trying to act tough, it hurt like hell… now I’m no stranger to pain… but I’ll always bounce back… so I’m here to say this… tournament or not, I promise you that joker’s gonna pay for what he did to me!”

Hawkins: Did he… did he just challenge Jester to a match?

BJT: I guess he did and if you listen to these fans, they’d love to see it!

DIW Hardcore Championship Tournament Qualifier

Angus McMiller vs Wez Dobberly

Clearly, the two allies and tag team partners have been forced into this match and are in no mood to fight each other. After a while though, the temptation of a chance to become champion gets the best of Pinn’s greedy taxman and he surprises Dobberly with a schoolboy roll up from behind!

One!

Two!

Kick out!

McMiller is all apologies, but Dobberly’s had enough and won’t hear it… Big kick to the gut! Finally the match is underway and Dobberly’s ripping into his opponent with frantic strikes, backing him to a corner! McMiller avoids the running big boot and leaves the ring to recollect himself, but Dobberly’s hot on his heels and follows him outside for a wild ringside brawl!

Hawkins: This is a street fight, you must be loving this, Jim!

BJT: I know these scumbags have no honor, no loyalty… This here is proof I was right!

Adrenaline kicks in and McMiller starts to get back into the fight, making it a brutal tug of war with no apparent winner as the two men exchange blows back and forth. Dobberly grabs a fan’s drink and throws it in his opponent’s face, blinding him! He slips behind him and locks in the Full Nelson! Is McMiller going to submit?

Mule kick to the groin! Dobberly lets go of the hold as the pain has him folded in half!

Hawkins: That’s one creative way to get out of that hold!

BJT: Looks like the veteran knows more than just creative accounting!

McMiller now slides into the Cobra Clutch…

Sweeps the leg…

Penalty Clause!

Cover!

One…

Hawkins: He’s got a hold of Dobberly’s trunks!

Two…

BJT: He stabbed him in the back to enter the tournament!

THREE!

Winner: Angus McMiller

The screen above the entrance shows a pre-recorded interview of the Comedian. DIW’s founder and owner is smoking a cigarette as always, looking like his mind is somewhere else.

Interviewer: “So Vance Sturt is now officially a member of DIW…”

Comedian: “Yep…”

Interviewer: “...and a member of Pinn Enterprises Ltd…”

Comedian: “Yep…”

Interviewer: “then Dumfrey Pinn cost you that match against Sturt…”

Comedian: “Yep…”

Interviewer: “Do you have something in mind to get back at them for this?”

Comedian: “Yep…”

Interviewer: “Uhm, alright… do you want to tell us?”

Comedian: “Nope…”

With that, the Comedian takes a last drag out of his cigarette, stands up and leaves the interview scene.

The Barracudas (Vaughan and Chopper Rourke) vs Vance Sturt and Mace Mueller

Picking up where last week’s match left off, Vaughan and Rourke seize the initiative as soon as the bell rings: Vaughan charges in to spear Mueller...

...through the ropes!

...off the apron!

...they both crash through the announcers’ table!

Hawkins: Oh my God! Vaughan with a burst of speed and aggression like an actual Barracuda!

BJT: It’s a prison yard beatdown!

Mounting the fallen Mueller, Vaughan rains down the bombs with big shots to the head while Rourke and Sturt hit each other in the ring. Once he’s satisfied with his handiwork, Vaughan returns to the ring and now it’s two against one for Sturt.

Hawkins: Vance Sturt with nowhere to go!

BJT: He’d better be paid well by Pinn for what he’s going to receive…

Vaughan chokeslams Sturt and Rourke now is able to hit all his signature moves while the leader of the Barracudas leaves the ring to collect whatever items he can find to be used as weapons. He tosses a couple of chairs into the ring, sets up a table outside it, then empties a trash can and throws it in the ring as well

Meanwhile, Mace Mueller’s climbing back onto the apron! Rourke hasn’t noticed him!

Sturt sees his partner and avoids a charging kick from Rourke… then whips him to the ropes…

Mueller pulls the top rope down!

Launches Rourke up and over!

Rourke goes through the table! Vaughan’s plan backfired!

Now it’s 2 on 1 against Vaughan and Pinn’s cronies are doing what they do best, beat down people with the odds in their favor!

The Comedian runs down to the ring! He’s holding a six pack of beers!

WHACK!

The Comedian swings and all six cans catch Vance Sturt on the side of the head!

Hawkins: Sturt’s gonna have one hell of a hangover when he wakes up!

BJT: Alcohol really got to his head!

Mueller turns around and sees the Comedian… The two men talk trash to each other as tension builds…

Vaughan caught Mueller by surprise from behind! He’s choking him out!

Ref raises Mueller’s hand once… it falls back down…

Once again… it drops to the mat…

Last chance…

Mueller’s out! It’s over!

Winners: The Barracudas (Vaughan and Chopper Rourke)

DIW Violent Delight

Date: Friday, Week 3 of January 2016

Location: Marv’s Sports Central, Eastern Australia

Attendance: 300 (sold out)

The show kicks off with Big Jim Teasdale’s music. DIW’s matchmaker makes his way to the ring and signals for his theme to be cut off so he can talk.

BJT: “Last week, Pinn Enterprises Ltd. were taught a valuable lesson the hard way… Except for the man in charge of that little troupe, Dumfrey Pinn… So big man, get your fat ass out here so I can say what I got to say to your face…”

After a dramatic pause, Dumfrey Pinn’s theme comes on the speakers and the CEO of Pinn Enterprises makes his way to the ring, accompanied by Lori.

BJT: “I’ve had enough of your sh*t… you crossed a line last week when you attacked the DIW Champion from behind in the backstage area… But I can’t fire you for it because we need your damn blood money…”

Fans boo and Pinn smiles full of self-satisfaction.

BJT: “What I can do is let karma catch up with you… Now unfortunately, Tombstone’s not here tonight… So I’m gonna put you in a match with two men who are dying to get their hands on you…

...The Comedian…

...and Vaughan!”

Fans cheer but Pinn grabs the mic off of Teasdale’s hands.

Pinn: “Hold it right there, Jimbo… You said so yourself, you can’t fire me… you need my money… but I don’t need yours… Why should I do this when I can just walk away? What are you gonna do, fine me?”

BJT: “No… but I can make you an offer you can’t refuse… if any wrestler interferes in that match, your men, the Barracudas or otherwise, they’ll be fired on the spot… but if you somehow manage to win that match… come Devil’s Playground next week, I’m gonna give you a shot at Tombstone and the DIW Championship!”

Again, fans cheer and Pinn nods in agreement.

Pinn: “Now you’re talking business… I know a good deal when I see one… You’re on!”

DIW Hardcore Championship Tournament Qualifier

God of War vs Hell’s Jester

Apparently now going as Hell’s Jester, the ZEN alumnus makes his in-ring debut for DIW against God of War for a spot in the upcoming tournament to crown the inaugural Hardcore champion. For all their visual differences, both men are hard hitters and that immediately becomes apparent once they lock up. Some back and forth opening strikes kick things off, before Jester literally (drop)kicks his opponent to knock him down!

Back on his feet with a kip up, Hell’s Jester is now in control and whips God of War to the ropes… lucha arm drag! Another irish whip… monkey flip!

Hawkins: For all his crazy looks, Hell’s Jester is all business in this match and now he’s managed to impose the pace and style that fits his offense!

BJT: It’s not just that, Dean, he’s also burning up God of War’s stamina with all that running around, deviously smart strategy!

God of War is sent to the ropes once again, but this time he knows what’s coming and instead hits Hell’s Jester with a big lariat! Now it’s God of War who whips his opponent to the ropes… Big Boot! Picks him up into a Fireman’s Carry…

Hawkins: He’s carrying Hell’s Jester close to the ropes… What’s he got in mind?

Death Valley Driver!

Over the ropes and onto the apron! Hell’s Jester tumbles to the outside!

God of War leaves the ring and orders a fan to hand him their chair… Slams it to his opponent’s back! The chair is bent! Now he’s sending Jester to the barricade…

Jester hops onto the guard rail! Jumps back into a Cutter! Face first to the floor goes God of War!

Hawkins: Hell’s Jester is reaching for something under the ring… What on earth?!?

God of War gets hit again and again with the weapon, the bells jingling with every hit until it snaps from impact! The fans are loving this!

Jester controlling his opponent with a front facelock… he’s dragging him to that discarded chair… he’s going for a DDT!

God of War fights back with blows to the ribs!

And now it’s him in control of Jester’s neck!

Picks him up on his shoulders...

Powerbomb onto the ring apron!

Hawkins: God of War is running on adrenaline right now, what power!

BJT: Twice now Jester’s landed back first on the apron, he must be feeling the effects!

God of War pushes his opponent back into the ring and climbs the ropes to make the cover…

One…

Two…

Intercepted!

A black-clad man has entered the ring and barely broken up the pin with a kick. He pulls the top of his hood back...

Hawkins: That’s Eraser! Jester’s tag team partner from New Zealand!

BJT: The Kiwis are invading the East Coast!

Eraser beats down a worn out God of War as Hell’s Jester is trying to climb to the top rope…

The Punchline!

Hawkins: That’s the same move he took out Milton Hittlespitz with!

BJT: Lucky for God of War, no chair or table is involved this time…

Cover!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: Hell’s Jester

The Bad Truckers come out, glaring menacingly at the ring from the top of the entrance. Diesel Dan cracks his knuckles, while Big Rig pulls out a mic from his waist belt.

Big Rig: “You boys wanna play rough… Next week, we’ll show you rough… And after we’re done wiping that mat with your corpses… Come Devil’s Playground, we’ll take back OUR DIW Tag Team titles!”

Hawkins: Bad Truckers willing to take on all comers and what an announcement for Devil’s Playground!

BJT: They want a title match against the Ares Death Cult, they’ll get it… if they can beat these two first!

DIW Hardcore Championship Tournament Qualifier

Mayhem Mulhoney vs The Void

The Void makes the simplest, unflashiest entrance possible, walking to the ring in jeans and a black t-shirt without any music on. Mayhem Mulhoney on the other hand, rushes to the ring through the crowd like an oldschool wildman, sliding in and immediately unloading on his opponent for an early start to the match. Caught by surprise, the Void takes the hits and ends up getting choked with the chain but all the while his facial expression hasn’t changed one bit, a stark contrast to his animalistic opponent. Perhaps confused with the lack of a reaction, Mulhoney throws the chain away and sniffs his opponent like a confused animal. A poor decision, as Void pokes him in the eye!

Now in control, the weird face-painted man focuses his offense on Mulhoney’s forehead with slicing elbow shots and crunching knee strikes. When that doesn’t pay off, he removes the protective padding off a turnbuckle and shoves his groggy opponent face first into the exposed steel!

Mulhoney is busted open!

The Void picks up the discarded chain and starts whipping his bloodied opponent, his face still expressionless despite the viciousness on display.

Mulhoney grabs the chain mid-air! Pulls him closer!

Rainmaker lariat!

Hawkins: What is Mulhoney doing? Why is he leaving the ring?

BJT: Finish him while he’s down!

Mulhoney reaches for something under the ring… and pulls out a bag of thumbtacks!

The Void is getting back on his feet as Mulhoney’s returning to the ring… it’s a tug of war over the bag of tacks! Void twists his opponent’s wrist and grabs the bag… then swings it to his head! Mulhoney’s dazed!

The Void opens the bag and reaches into it… then smothers a handful of tacks onto Mulhoney’s bleeding forehead!

Headbutt!

Hawkins: Mulhoney with the reckless move, he shows no interest in his own well being!

BJT: He’s not here to be safe, Dean! He’s here to hurt people and get hurt himself!

Hawkins: That move may have hurt him just as much as it hurt his opponent!

Mayhem Mulhoney grabs the back and spreads the rest of the thumbtacks on the mat…

He picks up his groggy opponent…

Cradle Powerslam! Onto the tacks! Cover!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: Mayhem Mulhoney

A pre-recorded message airs on the entrance screen next.

Miss Cerizabeth: “Hi there! I’m called Miss Cerizabeth now, because you’re supposed to have a fancy name for pro wrestling, right? Of course, you already know me as Ceri Dordevic, because I’m the only person around here who’s been on TV… but that’s something I intend to change… see, I’m here with a mission and that mission is to get myself the air time I deserve… That’s why I brought in a megastar in Blaze Maximum and a megastar he is indeed… Last week he defeated a 400lb monster to enter the DIW Hardcore championship tournament and by the end of it, he’ll be holding that title… Because clean cut... wholesome champions is not what this promotion deserves… but it’s this kind of champions it so desperately needs!"

Vance Sturt comes out but instead of strutting his way to the ring, he quickly walks to the announcers’ table and grabs a microphone.

Sturt: “Cut the damn music!”

Sturt gets in the ring and paces around angrily, before settling down to talk.

Sturt: “The only reason I agreed to join Pinn Enterprises and come to this dump was money… and f**k me, I’m getting paid real good… unlike you deadbeats… Thing is, I don’t mind the hardships I gotta go through to win the DIW Hardcore championship tournament… because champions make more money… I don’t mind butting heads with the Barracudas, because it’s them three against us all… but what I do mind is having the Comedian mess with me and the man who signs my paychecks… so I’m gonna end this once and for all! I told Mr. Pinn to get his checkbook ready because soon enough I’m getting myself a big bonus… for being the man… who kicked the Comedian into retirement!”

The Comedian vs Vaughan vs Dumfrey Pinn (with Lori)

Unlike Pinn, The Comedian and Vaughan have nothing to gain by winning in this match besides the satisfaction of beating up a common enemy so they team up against him once the bell rings. Their joint effort backs the CEO of Pinn Enterprises Ltd. to a corner, then the combined effort of the two situational allies sends him running to the ropes in an attempt to wear down his stamina.

Pinn bounces off the ropes and comes back with a double lariat that flattens both his opponents!

Pinn focuses his attention on long time rival The Comedian while Vaughan rolls out of the ring to regroup. His tactic is simple and brutal: beat the fan favorite into a pulp and win the match as fast as possible. After a series of hits that have the Comedian reeling, Pinn grabs him and goes for the Boss-A-Nova…

WHACK!

Vaughan is back in the ring with a kendo stick! He broke it in half on Pinn’s back before he could pull off his finisher!

Vaughn tries to steal the win by covering the fallen Comedian, when it dawns on him that he’s not here to win, he’s here to beat up the man who sent his lackeys against him. Thus, Vaughan willingly ends the pin at two and stands up to trade blows with Pinn. Two of the biggest men on the roster, almost equal in size hit each other back and forth into a stalemate. Pinn closes in for his finisher again…

Backs down before he hits it!

Hawkins: What the… did he have second thoughts?

BJT: What he has is a blood stain on one side, Dean

Hawkins: Vaughan shivved him in the ribs! That’s not wrestling!

Pinn stumbles and by pure luck, dodges a charging Comedian who ends up spearing Vaughan. Too big to be taken off his feet, Vaughan instead wraps one arm around the Comedian’s head and stabs his bald head with the prison shiv again and again!

The Comedian is bleeding all over the place!

DDT!

Hawkins: The Comedian landed right on his bloodied head!

Lori climbs on the apron and shouts some profanities at Vaughan, who looks frighteningly comfortable with the idea of stabbing her too…

Pinn with the sneak attack from behind!

Lori lowered the ropes! Vaughan’s out!

Boss-A-Nova! The Comedian took the full force of that!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: Dumfrey Pinn

Hawkins: He did it! Dumfrey Pinn’s going to wrestle Tombstone for the title!

Almost immediately after the three count and without any music to herald his arrival, Tombstone races to the ring with a steel chair in hand.

Hawkins: He’s here! Tombstone is here! And Pinn hasn’t seen him!

Like a wild animal, Tombstone unloads on Pinn’s flabby frame with a hailstorm of chair shots. Lori tries to interfere but it seems she’s about to catch a shot herself! The momentary hesitation is all Pinn needs to bail though and he joins Lori outside to retreat, while Tombstone ends the show standing tall in the middle of it and glaring at his future opponent as he raises the chair up in the air.

DIW Violent Delight

Date: Friday, Week 4 of January 2016

Location: Marv’s Sports Central, Eastern Australia

Attendance: 300 (sold out)

<img alt="9wxreBD.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9wxreBD.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

The massive-framed matchmaker of DIW makes his way to the center of the ring, looking happier than usual. He takes a moment to soak in the “D-I-dub!” chants, then as crowd and music die down, he holds up a microphone to speak.

BJT: “It’s been one hell of a month… and it all boils down to this Sunday’s big show, Devil’s Playground! We still got a few more things to deal with before that though… including two huge grudge matches for a spot in the DIW Hardcore championship tournament! But right now, there’s something else I’d like to talk about… and that’s last week’s main event! You see, Vaughan did what Vaughan does… and the Comedian being the Comedian, he took it and smiled… but Pinn… Dumfrey Pinn wanted to press assault charges!”

Crowd boos and a “f**k you Pinn” chant slowly builds up.

BJT: “That is, until he realized that no matter how much money he pays to get the best lawyers, everyone involved in the attack would have to stay away from a DIW ring… including himself and the DIW Champion, Tombstone! So instead, we sat down and reached an agreement… and tonight, in the main event, it will be Dumfrey Pinn and his Hired Guns…

against Vaughan……

...The Comedian…

and Tombstone!”

Hawkins: What an announcement! Pinn Enterprises Ltd. go to war against all of DIW’s major players at the same time! But can those three work together against their common enemy or will their individual issues ultimately be their downfall?

The Bad Truckers vs The Manhunters

The Manhunters make their entrance first and hit their opponents with stereo suicide dives before they can enter the ring, setting this match off to an early start! It’s chaos around the ring as all four men grab whatever they can get their hands on and swing it at each other.

Hell’s Jester is giving Big Rig a hard time, ducking and dodging the big man’s attacks before bouncing off the ring apron or barricade to retaliate with some sort of aerial move! Eraser on the other hand is barely able to land a single blow on the massive frame of Diesel Dan.

Hawkins: Looks like Eraser’s not that dangerous when he doesn’t have the element of surprise on his side!

BJT: He may have been terrorizing the smaller high flyers in New Zealand, but there’s nothing he can do against the mammoth of a man that is Diesel Dan!

With Big Rig reeling, Hell’s Jester takes the time to slide a table from underneath the ring and set it up. But how can he possibly hope to put 400+ pounds of Big Rig through it?

*CRASH!*

Diesel Dan just chokeslammed Eraser through that table!

Big splash on top of the wreckage!

Only now does Hell’s Jester realize where his partner’s at! His plan backfired and now it’s two on one against him!

Double Avalanche! Jester gets sandwiched between the two truckers!

Diesel Dan is directing traffic and he points at the fallen Eraser. They drag him back into the ring and up against a corner… Jester tries to get back in the ring… Big boot by Diesel Dan, sends him back out! Big Rig is climbing to the top… is he going for a superplex?

TOP ROPE PILEDRIVER!

Hawkins: They broke the ring! Eraser’s head actually drilled the ring boards through!

BJT: That’s it, he’s done for good!

Dan pulls Eraser out of the hole on the mat… Cover!

One!

Two!

THREE!

Milton Hittlespitz races to the ring with a steel chair in hand and smacks Hell’s Jester multiple times on the back and head!

Hawkins: Payback time! Milton’s been waiting weeks for this!

BJT: Eraser’s out and Jester’s beat, he sure waited for the opportune moment to strike!

Chopper Rourke vs Vance Sturt

Another chapter in the saga of The Barracudas versus Pinn Enterprises Ltd, this match is also a qualifying contest for the upcoming DIW Hardcore Championship tournament and so there’s more than just personal issues or faction wars in play. Vance Sturt knows where his strengths lie in comparison to his opponent so he tries to force him into a straightforward technical contest between the ropes. Once the initial surprise wears off though, Rourke uses his weight and power advantage to bully his opponent around, before clotheslining him to the outside where he’s most comfortable.

Rourke leaves the ring and grabs the steps, throwing them onto the fallen Sturt before mounting him to rain down a series of big punches.

Sturt rakes the eyes! Desperation move!

Double Ear Slap! Rourke is disoriented!

Sturt grabs a sign out of a fan’s hands… and smashes it onto the head of Chopper Rourke! Sturt is in the zone now… gets some distance… picks up steam with the charge…

Rourke got a boot up! Down goes Sturt!

His head’s still stuck in the sign but he’s choking Sturt with the edge of it!

Sturt’s trying to rip the sign apart and free himself!

Rourke pulls himself free of the sign around his neck and throws it away! Picks up Sturt by the back of his mullet… drags him into the ring! Rourke rolls in too… throws Sturt to the ropes…

Spinebuster! This is it!

No, Sturt rolled through! He reversed it! Roll up!

One!

He’s got both feet on the ropes!

Two!

Death Ref doesn’t see them from his position!

THREE!

Winner: Vance Sturt

Hawkins: What the hell?!?

BJT: Talk about a cheap win, Dean… That’s what Sturt is all about, he’ll lie, he’ll cheat, he’ll steal if it means getting what he wants.

Blitz Simpson vs Mace Mueller

Another Barracudas versus Pinn Enterprises matchup for the DIW Hardcore Championship tournament, this one’s way more personal as Mace Mueller sidelined Blitz Simpson with a vicious punt kick to the head just weeks ago. The hatred’s there and as soon as the bell rings, both men lock up and hit each other with wild blows to the side of the head!

Hawkins: Those two really want to destroy each other!

BJT: Of all the people in the Barracudas and Pinn Enterprises, I think these two are the biggest rivals right now and rightfully so!

Simpson with the arm drag… kicks a seated Mueller in the back! Hooks the leg!

One…

Two…

Kick out!

Mueller rolls to the outside in order to regroup as Simpson recollects himself. Simpson sees his target outside… hits the ropes… Baseball Slide! Countered! Mueller grabbed his legs and pulls him out! Slams him head-first onto the apron! DDT onto the floor!

Hawkins: Looks like Mueller’s targeting Simpson’s head again!

BJT: He’s going for the weak part and it’s working for him, but he has to get Simpson back in the ring if he wants to pin him and enter the tournament!

Mueller’s stompin on his opponent’s head! Seems it’s not good enough for him… He orders a fan at ringside to hand him over his chair! Mueller’s looking to trap Simpson’s head in it! Simpson fights back! Survival instinct kicks in and he’s all adrenaline! Grabs the folded chair… throws it onto the face of Mace Mueller! Superkick! No! Mueller caught the leg! Puts it onto the barricade!

*AAAAWWWWWW...*

Hawkins: I’ll tell you, my own balls hurt watching that!

BJT: Mueller’s vicious! He’s not just taking out Simpson, he wants to take out his future family too! In advance!

Simpson’s writhing in pain and Mueller picks him up in a Fireman’s Carry… dumps him on the apron… then shoves him back into the ring and follows himself. Looks like he’s ready to end this! Mueller goes to a corner and lines up his opponent… Simpson’s on one knee…

Hawkins: Oh no! He’s looking to kick his head in again!

Simpson blocked it!

Low blow!

BJT: YES!

Hawkins: Simpson gives Mueller a taste of his own medicine!

Simpson struggles to his feet and drags a reeling Mueller to the ropes… puts Mueller’s feet on the second rope…

Lifting DDT! That should be it!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: Blitz Simpson

A pre-taped promo from Blaze Maximum airs on the entrance screen. Blaze and Miss Cerizabeth are standing in front of a suspiciously static background of the Las Vegas casino strip.

Blaze: “Oooooh yeah…. You heard my queen, Miss Cerizabeth, last week… we’re gonna take Deep Impact Wrestling to the very top of the world, mmmm yeah…. From down under, to above and beyond, I’m talking international superstardommmm, yeah…. Bright lights! Capacity crowds! TV commercials! And Blaze Maximum front and center as the DIW Hardcore champion, yeah…”

Blaze Maximum spreads his arms and spins around, clearly obsessed with himself and his ‘vision’.

Tombstone, The Comedian & Vaughan vs Pinn Enterprises Ltd (Dumfrey Pinn and The Hired Guns, with Lori)

Any notions of tags, rules and order are out the window as Pinn’s three major enemies all storm the ring at once to attack. Chaos breaks out and all six men are paired up with an opponent to trade blows back and forth. That all changes once Vaughan tosses Angus McMiller out of the ring and instead of giving chase, he turns towards Pinn. Looking like he’s scared to death at the idea of another potential shivving, Pinn immediately stops his brawling with the Comedian and leaves the ring as fast as his pudgy frame will allow as Vaughan glares menacingly at him. Once outside, Pinn orders McMiller back into the ring and essentially using his henchmen as meat shields, takes the time to regroup outside next to Lori.

Realizing their boss has abandoned them, McMiller and Dobberly play it smart and use their experience teaming together in order to gang up on each of their opponents and turn the numbers game back into a draw once they manage to take out the Comedian with McMiller’s Penalty Clause finisher.

Hawkins: Wez Dobberly looks like he’s seen a ghost!

BJT: He’s having a deja vu, Dean! That’s the exact same move McMiller used to defeat him and enter the DIW Hardcore Championship tournament!

With Dobberly stunned, Vaughan shoots in closer and puts him in a choke hold! McMiller tries to make the save! He gets caught from behind as well by Tombstone! Rear Naked Choke! And Pinn is forced to come back in and make the save!

Hawkins: Which one will he go first?

BJT: Gotta go for the weaker one and prevent an early submission!

Pinn kicks Tombstone to break up the Rear Naked Choke! Turns around…

*BAM!*

Hawkins: Oh my God, Vaughan just launched Dobberly at Pinn!

BJT: He used him as a human projectile, Dean!

Hawkins: Now Tombstone’s got Pinn in the Rear Naked Choke! This could be a preview of Sunday’s title match between these two!

BJT: Look out for Vaughan, he’s going for the pin on Dobberly too!

One…

Pinn’s fighting back the choke…

Two…

Lori screams at Dobberly to get up!

THREE!

Winners: Tombstone, The Comedian & Vaughan

Hawkins: It’s over! It’s over! And Tombstone still won’t let go of the Rear Naked Choke!

BJT: Get security in there!

DIW Championship title match

Tombstone is so far and beyond Pinn. Pinn is enough of a threat with his group, he doesn't need the title to have convincing feuds. Pinn can't carry the company anymore and is good at filling a gatekeeper role for the babyfaces moving forward.

Six Man Gang Wars Grudge match

The Barracudas vs Pinn Enterprises Ltd (Sturt, Mueller & Dobberly)

The barracudas are talent across the board while Study and Dobberly aren't as good. I could see it flipped the other way but Vaughan will be building momentum.

Opening Contest

DIW Tag Team titles match

ADC need to establish themselves more, and the Truckers although winning this month will need more momentum to be champions. Unless the bad behaviours are getting ADC moved out of the company they should retain.

Bonus Prediction:

Who will be the two mystery competitors in the final tournament qualifier match?

This is difficult but I assume it is people not signed in Aus. So I am going to go with Gareth Case (a potential star long term who I had in my diary and loved.) And Mauler who is decent enough to take a loss and be okay. Also has a tag team partner to add some value long term. God so many people I want to say or would love to see in this diary.

DIW Devil's Playground

Date: Sunday, Week 4 of January 2016

Location: Marv’s Sports Central, Eastern Australia

Attendance: 300 (sold out)

<img alt="jds8yup.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/jds8yup.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Wearing black instead of his usual all-white suit, Dumfrey Pinn makes his entrance and heads straight for the ring, bullying a staff member so he’s handed a microphone.

Pinn: “Tonight is a historic night… for tonight, not only do I beat Tombstone to reclaim my DIW Championship… the one he stole from me last October...no, I’ve done that before. Four times, actually… but there’s one man on this roster that’s a four time DIW Champion too… so tonight I break that record and etch my name in the annals of history, because tonight… I will become the first ever, the only, five time DIW Champion!”

Pinn holds his hand up high with all five fingers outstretched, signalling his upcoming fifth title reign as the crowd boos. He then drops the mic and returns backstage, but not before pausing one last time to throw up the hand and yell “five time!” before retreating.

Rematch from a couple of months ago, when Ares Death Cult beat the Truckers in November of 2015 to win the DIW Tag Team titles for the first time in their careers. The tone is set from the start as Lakatos and Cionis enter the ring but instead of handing the title belts to the (Death) Ref, they use them to smash their opponents in the face and the match is off to an early start! Focusing on the smaller member of their -still massive- opponents, the ADC whip him to the corner and follow up with charging hits that have Diesel Dan collapse on the mat as they slide out in search of items to swing as weapons. Never a man to shun away from ultraviolence, Guyla Lakatos produces a bunch of light tubes and rolls back into the ring, triumphantly holding them up like they’re a f**king sword or something… Meanwhile, Cionis pulls out a table...

*CRASH*

Hawkins: Big Rig just charged onto the table as Cionis was pulling it out! He’s cut right through it!

BJT: Cionis was lucky in his misfortune, having that table in front of him effectively made it a shield and made the impact hurt less.

Hawkins: True Jim, but how much less painful can 400+ pounds of man charging onto you get?

Meanwhile, Lakatos circles Diesel Dan like a predator as the big trucker struggles to get back on his feet…

*CRASH!*

Hawkins: Glass shards and powder everywhere, Dan’s shirt is torn and his back is bleeding!

Big Rig climbs back to the ring, carrying one half of the table he destroyed and whacks a celebrating Lakatos in the head from behind! The Truckers are now in control and it’s 2 on 1 as they pick up a staggering Lakatos… are they going for their tag finisher… no, they toss Lakatos out to his partner!

Cionis dodged the human missile!

Hawkins: The Greek Punisher needs some liquid courage, though I doubt that fan was willing to share his beer, Jim!

BJT: Sionis didn’t ask him… OH! He spit beer in Big Rig’s face!

Cionis is back in the ring and one on one with Diesel Dan… They tangle up like wild animals! This is a street fight!

Cionis gets shoved back… falls onto a blinded Big Rig… gets caught! Rig’s blind but he can tell this man’s too small to be his tag partner!

*BAM!*

Hawkins: Rig with the headbutt to the back of Cionis’ head! Talk about a team that know each other!

BJT: Now Diesel Dan’s joining in… they’re looking to slam him onto that broken part of the table that’s still in the ring!

*SLAM!*

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winners and NEW DIW Tag Team champions: The Bad Truckers

<img alt="M4SOg7D.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/M4SOg7D.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Hawkins: The Bad Truckers win!

BJT: Four time DIW Tag Team champions now, Dean!

Hawkins: The only four time champions, Jim, beating the Apocalypse who have held those titles three times! Pinn wants to break a record tonight, the Bad Truckers just did that already!

Australian Devil vs King Malietoa

The final qualifying match for DIW’s hot new tournament, this one features two surprise contestants in Australian Devil and King Malietoa. Though he does look a bit like a Marihito Masuko palette swap, AusDev has the speed and agility but sadly not the legendary junior’s in-ring skills as well. Still, he’s fast and small and quick enough to give the plodding King Malietoa a hard time as he starts the match moving about, ducking and dodging before hitting some big flashy move that pops the crowd!

Hawkins: Looks like East Coast Panther’s got some competition for a spot on the highlight reel, eh Jim?

BJT: Jury’s still out on him Dean, half the fans seem to like his style but the other half wants to see the big Samoan squash him like a fly.

Indeed, AusDev goes for a rana and Malietoa finally puts the breaks, reversing it into a powerbomb! He then picks up his small opponent, chops him to a corner and tops it all with a big headbutt! No, he follows up with an avalanche! Devil’s down on the corner…

Throne Splash!

One…

Two…

THREE!

Winner: King Malietoa

<img alt="7nXiDsK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7nXiDsK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Big Jim Teasdale leaves the announcers’ table and enters the ring with a mic once Australian Devil and King Malietoa are out.

BJT: “And with the final qualifying match in the books, please welcome my fellow host to present the DIW Hardcore Championship Tournament brackets… Miss Cerizabeth!”

<img alt="mKcXBbb.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/mKcXBbb.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Miss Cerizabeth comes out and strikes a pose, but no music is heard and she immediately snaps, yelling “where’s my damn theme?” to no one in particular as she makes her way to the ring.

BJT: “Come down here and quit worryin’ about your music… I hope you got a good look at King Malietoa there who was in this ring before, because by winning this match he’s not only the last man to qualify for the DIW Hardcore Championship Title Tournament… but also the one who’ll be facing Blaze Maximum in the first round!”

Miss Cerizabeth throws another tantrum and Teasdale points to the screen above the wrestlers’ entrance, where the finalized tournament brackets are on display.

<img alt="IS2qy8q.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IS2qy8q.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

BJT: “See, whoever wins that match will move on to the semi finals… to face the winner, nay, the survivor of the bloodbath that will be Milton Hittlespitz against Hell’s Jester!”

Crowd cheers and Miss Cerizabeth somewhat recollects herself as she takes a look at the brackets.

MC: “Sounds like you’ve been playing your little games, Teasdale… I can especially tell from what you’ve done in the rest of the brackets… I mean, Simpson versus Sturt is clearly you manipulating the Barracudas and Pinn Enterprises against each other, but what’s with the battle of the old timers in the other one? Seeing a little of yourself in it maybe?”

Crowd boos Miss Cerizabeth, but Teasdale responds with a cool, collected smile.

BJT: “What I’m seeing is great matches all around… Just think of the possibilities… If Angus McMiller wins, he gets to either fight one of the Barracudas in Simpson or another Pinn stablemate in Sturt… it’s either that or one of them squaring off with the veteran of violence, Mayhem Mulhoney! In every single match, both booked and potential, no matter who loses… I know the fans win!”

Audience cheers and Teasdale nods in agreement.

BJT: “Let the Tournament begin!”

The Barracudas vs Pinn Enterprises Ltd (Sturt, Mueller & Dobberly, with Lori)

Vance Sturt tries to fill in for Pinn and order his two teammates around, but Mueller and Dobberly don’t seem to think of the newcomer as above them in whatever power structure Pinn Enterprises Ltd. has. Eventually, the Barracudas tire of their opponents’ bickering and decide to get the match started as they seize the initiative and attack! Vaughan tosses Dobberly to the outside and follows him to continue the attack, Rourke does the same to Mueller and it’s down to Blitz Simpson and Vance Sturt inside the ring!

Hawkins: Looks like Simpson and Sturt got their tournament match started early!

Outside the ring, Vaughan and Rourke gang up to beat down Dobberly… then pull a table from under the ring apron, looking to drive him through it! Meanwhile though, Mueller has recollected himself and he rolls back into the ring to assist Sturt… it’s two on one against Simpson and his fellow Barracudas realize they need to come back and help him, sparing Dobberly in the process… Simpson gets whipped onto Rourke as the latter enters the ring! Sturt and Mueller congratulate each other… double clothesline from a charging Vaughan! He’s not done yet… pulls them both up by the throat… double chokeslam!

Hawkins: Vaughan is in the zone! Why’s he not going for the pin though?

Vaughan leaves the ring and shouts something to his crew… Simpson rolls out, still in a haze… Rourke rolls Mueller out… they stack him on top of Dobberly on the table! Vaughan tells Rourke to bring Sturt out too! What on earth are they building up to?

Sturt with the roll up from behind!

Rourke was caught by surprise there alone in the ring!

One…

Vaughan and Simpson rush back to make the save!

Two…

Mueller throws himself at them!

THREE!

Winners: Pinn Enterprises Ltd (Vance Sturt, Mace Mueller and Wez Dobberly)

<img alt="ozLd3Bm.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ozLd3Bm.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Hawkins: Mueller sacrificed himself to keep the rest of the Barracudas from making it in time to break up the pin! And Sturt steals one for the team!

BJT: Maybe the rest of Pinn Enterprises will take orders from him now… I know he’s sure to take a beating from Simpson in the tournament though, the Barracudas are furious!

<img alt="V9qxqnh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/V9qxqnh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

DIW Championship title match

<img alt="DE0wmcP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DE0wmcP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="NaHG9Mh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/NaHG9Mh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

His spirits lifted by his group’s win prior, Pinn makes a confident entrance to a roar of boos from the audience, which in turn becomes cheers once Tombstone appears. The two are off to a cautious start, but Pinn soon loses patience and attacks! The big man’s clumsy swings are easy for Tombstone to dodge, but his shots in retaliation barely seem to phase the massive leader of Pinn Enterprises!

Tombstone slides behind his challenger… he’s looking to lock in the Rear Naked Choke!

Pinn backs up to a corner!

Tombstone lets go, crushed between the buckles and Pinn’s full weight. The challenger is in control now and picks up the champion for the body slam! Followed by a splash! Cover!

One…

Two…

Tombstone got a shoulder up!

Pinn looks frustrated, probably was hoping for a quick win there… he picks up Tombstone… lifts him on the side! Boss-A-Nova?

Tombstone escapes!

Jumps right back into the Rear Naked Choke!

Pinn is reeling!

Falls back first onto the mat! And again Tombstone is crushed by the full weight of Pinn, forcing him to let go of the hold! Oh he’s angered now… backs the champion up to a corner… big chop! And another! He’s taking his anger out with chops and Tombstone’s chest is bruised already!

Hawkins: Never thought of PInn as a striker…

BJT: It’s more than that, Dean, the chops will take the air out of Tombstone’s lungs! Pinn lacks the stamina for a long match, so this is a great way to cut it shorter!

Hawkins: He’s the mastermind of Pinn Enterprises for a reason, great ring IQ on display there, as Big Jim Teasdale pointed out!

Pinn’s got Tombstone’s head trapped between the ropes! That gives him plenty of time to leave the ring… Oh no, he got the timekeeper’s bell now…

*BONK!*

Tombstone’s head is busted open!

The ref can’t calm him down to untangle the ropes! He’s gonna choke!

Tombstone finally escapes his predicament… but Pinn’s at ringside and he got the tie from his entrance gear to choke him out again! Tombstone is gasping for breath… and Pinn changes his plan, looks to tie Tombstone’s hand to the ringpost with his suit’s tie!

Hawkins: Tombstone’s like a cornered animal! He’s trapped and bleeding!

BJT: But he’s not done yet! Look at him go, he’s trying to cut that tie with his teeth! He’s rabid!

Pinn pulls his opponent’s head back to face him…

Tombstone’s got a piece of bloodied fabric in his teeth!

He’s smiling! Pinn looks shocked!

*BAM!*

Tombstone is free! Huge haymaker! And another! It’s strike after strike on pure adrenaline and Pinn takes a step back with each hit!

Bicycle Kick! Pinn is down!

Tombstone still has that piece of cloth he ripped from Pinn’s tie in his mouth! He’s shoving it down Pinn’s throat!

Rear Naked Choke!

Hawkins: Pinn’s already down! He’s got nowhere to go!

BJT: And he’s eating his own damn tie, good luck trying to breathe with that in your mouth, Dumfrey!

*DING DING DING!*

Pinn tapped out! Tombstone wins! Tombstone retains!

Winner: Tombstone

<img alt="rCrbMWQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rCrbMWQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Tombstone celebrates as he’s handed the title, while Pinn spits out that choking hazard and gasps for air. Once he’s up on his feet again, he walks up to Tombstone, who’s about to make a statement on the mic. Pinn offers a handshake… Tombstone is suspicious and rightfully so…

He grabbed the mic out of his hands!

*BANG!*

The speakers almost explode as they blare out the sound of the mic smashing on Tombstone’s bloodied skull.

Pinn: “Sturt! Mueller! All of you! Get your asses out here!”

Pinn continues to beat down Tombstone, but freezes in shock when he hears an all too familiar guitar riff…

<img alt="CwNnmYt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CwNnmYt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Instead of his cronies, it’s the Comedian who comes out, with a cigarette in his mouth and a chair in his hands as the crowd goes insane! The Comedian walks down to the ring and Pinn backs down, scared and already banged up from his match. The Comedian enters the ring and Pinn is almost on the ropes, whimpering that he’s sorry and has no beef with the Comedian…

Pinn stumbles back onto Tombstone!

Rear Naked Choke!

The fans are loving it!

Within moments, Pinn passes out. Comedian drops the chair and offers his hand to Tombstone. The DIW Champion is again somewhat suspicious, but eventually takes it and the Comedian pulls him back up on his feet. The show ends with the two men standing tall over the fallen Dumfrey Pinn, hands raised in the air as fans chants “D-I-dub! D-I-dub!”

DarK_RaideR · July 17, 2019

So, first big DIW show is in the books and I hope you people like it. Big thanks to King Bison for the (fresh) Pinn and Sturt re-renders.

Prediction Results:

King Bison: 1/3

HiPlus: 1/3

Historian: 2/3

Willr0ck: 1/3

Historian wins this round, plus he kinda got one of the two surprise competitors right, since King Malietoa is one half of Samoan Demolition. Ergo, he gets to pick the stipulation for the DIW Hardcore tournament final!
