The Den in New England, 2000 in attendance

Harvey Robbinfield

-vs-

Marcel LeFleur

</div>

</td><td valign="top" align="center">

A fun little match designed to give Harvey some momentum and start considering whether or not LeFleur is going to go solo. LeFleur started out hot, but Robbinfield took his best shots and then took over. He would hit the Omega Driver to earn the pinfall.

Apocalypse, Ross Henry, Cali Slick

The camera cuts backstage where a brawl is in progress between War Diaz and Destruction on one side, and Ross Henry and Cali Slick on the other. Unfortunately, Diaz seemed to be sandbagging it, his attacks looking weak and painless. On the other side of the coin, Henry came out of this looking like a million bucks, and after the two pairs were separated, he was the one with the last word.

Henry is backstage, and he proclaims that it doesn't matter what sort of BS Apocalypse pulls, he's STILL going to be the W$W Openweight Champion when all is said and done. Backstage brawls, attacking him after matches -- none of that matters when the bell rings.

Money Talks w/ Lisa Bowen

-vs-

The Next Big Things

</div>

</td><td valign="top" align="center">

The announcers put over the fact that these two teams got the better of each other in the battle royals at Expected Earnings, and both sides requested this match. Things start out brutal, and degrade from there. Sanchez and Aroma battle back and forth with brutal strikes. Pennyworth and Lindland hammer it out outside of the ring. Poor Francis Long continually has to send one man or another back to their corner, and around the twelve minute mark it all breaks down. All four men end up in the ring, raining attacks down on one another. When the steel chair is added to the ring (by Lisa Bowen, the announcers think), he has no choice but to call for the bell and end the bout.

Micheal Savage

-vs-

Rocky Weatherfield

</div>

</td><td valign="top" align="center">

Rocky deserves better than he gets from me. He never has a bad match, and even those with almost no implications get the crowd humming. In this case, he works a beauty with Savage that makes the crowd stand up, and makes Savage look really good in the process. The brutal attacks from the heel are sold hard by Rocky, and Savage looks absolutely devastating. So when Rocky is finally able to reverse the momentum, the crowd goes wild. The Implant DDT a minute or so later seals the deal, as Savage cannot get his shoulder off the mat.

Apocalypse

-vs-

Riley McManus & Amber Allen

</div>

</td><td valign="top" align="center">

Interestingly, this is the first time teaming together for either of the #1 contending teams. This allows the announcers to focus on chemistry for the duration of the match -- chemistry that is easy for everyone in the arena to note. For McManus and Allen, the chemistry was positive, and they seemed to know exactly what the other was thinking at every moment of the match. For Famine and Plague...not so much. Their timing was all off, attempted double teams just didn't work out, and a couple attempted tags went awry when the partner was playing to the audience instead of waiting for the tag. Despite that, though, Apocalypse managed to look decent, with Famine Faith easily maintaining control over whichever of his opponents were in the ring at the time. When he was finally forced to tag out, Plague was looking fairly good as well.

And that's when everything went sideways. The crowd started humming as Thunder & Lightning came through the audience. Amber Allen, waiting on the apron, saw them coming and drew Francis Long's attention. Plague had just nailed McManus with a devastating cutter leaving him down and out. Lomas and Thunder slid into the ring, hit the Thunderstroke on Plague, and knocked Famine off the apron on their way out. McManus came to first, locked on a simple armbar, and Plague tapped.

Final Thoughts

So, yeah. Faith and Ryland "don't work well", but McManus & Allen have great chemistry. That sort of works for where I'm taking things, but this is a lesson in testing your teams before you put them in title matches.

The show starts off with a bang as the W$W Openweight Championship is on the line. The match starts out fast and furious, with Destruction rushing at the champion and getting him to the mat early. Henry blunts that offense relatively quickly, however, and starts to take control. But before he is able to gain any momentum or get on a roll, War Diaz rolls in the ring with a steel chair and brings it crashing on the back of the champ, forcing the ref to call for the bell.</p><p> </p><p>

Destruction takes charge as he and War lay boots to the fallen champion. Diaz nails Henry with the steel chair multiple times while Destruction eggs him on, to the point that the chair is obviously bent and destroyed. Destruction rolls out of the ring to slide another chair in...and Cali Slick charges the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and immediately drops War with a Slick Back. Slick is the one to grab the new chair, and he uses it to swing at Destruction. War rolls out of the ring and is helped up by Destruction as Apocalypse backs up the ramp. As they disappear, the announcers note that they have just been told that we will see Destruction and War taking on Henry and Slick in the main event tonight.</p><p>

Lindland is a big man, but he was dwarfed by Sanchez here tonight, and he did a good job of looking somewhat intimidated. The two put on a classic big man versus little man match, with Lindland in the unaccustomed role of the little guy, but it worked pretty well. Sanchez got his licks in, and Lindland made it look painful. Lindland started to come back once, but Sanchez beat him back down. Then again. The third time, though, was the charm, and Lindland caught Sanchez in an ankle lock that the big man wasn't able to fight his way out of.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>W$W Tag Team Championship Match</strong></p><p>

Once again, the poor chemistry between Apocalypse teammates comes into play, but it doesn't seem to hurt the match that much. This is a good match, with two teams legal at all times, the team on the outside needing to tag in to have a chance to win. Jason Thunder starts the match against Plague Ryland, and at the bell, things go crazy. Blind tags abound as each team tries to enter the ring to be legal whenever they are on the outside. Lomas gets the first near fall, nearly pinning Famine Faith relatively early in the match, but Allen breaks it up. That sets the tone for most of the rest of the match -- whenever a pin or submission was attempted, it was broken up nearly before the one count could occur. </p><p> </p><p>

The end comes when Lomas and Faith had taken each other out on the outside of the ring, neither man stirring. McManus had taken a hard blow to the head from Lomas earlier, and while he was at the turnbuckle, he wasn't really effective. In the ring, Allen nails Jason Thunder with a Northern Lights Suplex, holding on. Plague was checking on his partner, and didn't notice the pinfall attempt at first. The ref counted 1..2...Plague rushes in, but the hand comes down for the 3 count before he gets there, and we have new champions!</p><p> </p><p>

Huracan answers Rocky's challenge, and the two of them square off in the center of the ring. What follows is a decent grappling match, going mostly old school but with some fun high-flying mixed in for good measure. Weatherfield slowly starts blunting Juana's offense and looks to be about ready to get the win when Jillian Jarvis rushes the ring. He tries to get both of them in view, but they do a good job of splitting his concentration, and eventually Juana grabs him in the Time-Square Lock right in the center of the ring. Weatherfield fights it for over a minute with Jarvis taunting him from outside, but eventually has to tap.</p><p> </p><p>

The make-up match from earlier in the night featured some great wrestling, as these four men left nothing behind. This was a back and forth affair with some great spots. Henry came out looking particularly strong, getting near falls on both Destruction and War multiple times. Everyone in the match, though, had their opportunities to look good and get some near falls, the closest being when Destruction caught Slick in a schoolboy while War and Henry were battling outside the ring. Slick was just able to catch the rope, however, which Long just barely saw and stopped the count a fraction before the three.</p><p> </p><p>

The end of this affair came a few minutes later. War was being forced out of the ring by Long after a tag to Destruction, allowing Destruction to level Slick with a low blow. Destruction waited for War to get out of the ring before he closed in and applied the Doomweaver Clutch. Henry tried to break it up, but War was quicker to the punch, and took him down as well...and Slick tapped away Henry's undefeated streak to the amazement and shock of the announcers.</p><p> </p><p>

Henry comes to the ring and says that the folks here in New England are getting a treat tonight -- an Openweight Championship bout. He says that with all that went down last month, Destruction is getting another shot at the belt tonight, but it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter that he finally lost a match, even if it was on a technicality. All that matters is that tonight, he walks in the champ, and he walks out the champ.

A pretty good match to start us out. Robbinfield looked pretty good throughout, taking the bout to Pennyworth, but Pennyworth got his licks in as well. The end comes when Robbinfield has Pennyworth in a pinning predicament, and Lisa Bowen pulls his foot on to the ropes. This breaks the count, and gets Robbinfield to start jawing at Bowen; Pennyworth takes advantage and pulls him in for the Money Clip and the victory.

Weatherfield takes the microphone after his match. He says that he's a proven winner, but the ladies of Bitch Slap keep getting victories against him...and that's because they keep jumping in where they don't belong. So he's challenging them both to a match...Weatherfield against Bitch Slap in a handicap match. If he knows where they are, he'll win, he guarantees it.

The new tag champs McManus and Allen are backstage, arguing over the right way to compete. It starts to get pretty heated before Allen lays out a challenge. If McManus can beat her in the ring here tonight, she'll agree to work his way. McManus agrees pretty quickly, and the two head to the ring.

A decent match between the two tag team champions. It was a decent back and forth technical affair, though Allen did resort to a coupld of cheap tricks during the match. In the end, she decided to attempt a low blow on a recovering McManus, but he saw it coming and rolled her up instead, getting the victory.

W$W Openweight Championship Match

http://www.2d12.com/RTG/WSW%20Openweight.jpg

Holy Crap. New England gots themselves a show tonight. Henry and Destruction put everything on the line, and this match delivers in spades. A solid back and forth affair in which Destruction came oh-so-close to winning on multiple occasions. Similarly, Henry hit the Earthquake Powerslam on Destruction not once, not twice, but three times, and Destruction kicks out of every pin attempt. The end finally came when Destruction had locked in the Gloomweaver Clutch, but in the ropes. When Francis Long finally got him to break the hold, Destruction fell out of the ring. Henry followed, and sent him crashing into the ring steps and barricades; one of the throws had an awkward-looking landing. Destruction tries to stand but couldn't manage it, his ankle completely unable to support his weight. After he tries a couple times, Francis Long checks on him, then ends the match.

Final Thoughts

So, some damned good matches here. Sadly, this will be Aldous' last match with W$W for some time, as he has signed with SWF. Time to rework my planned storylines. Similarly, Robbinfield is probably leaving. He hasn't signed yet, but SWF has offered him a contract, so it's likely inevitable.

Final Rating: B-

<p>Gutted about Aldous! I know this is probably your plan anyway, but I'd definitely like to see the story develop that, while he now has a loss on his record, Henry still hasn't been defeated, technically. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

In addition to him and Harvey getting SWF contracts, SOTBPW has now offered Rocky Weatherfield a contract as well...just when I realized I should be pushing him hard, too. Between them that's two main eventers and an upper midcard/main event (depending on the month) gone, and at least two of my ongoing storylines needing to be scrapped or reworked. Sometimes regional can be tough.</p>

Decent match to get us started, though neither man exhibited much in the way of salesmanship for the other. That turned this into a hard hitting, brutal-looking affair with powerful punches and attacks that were shrugged off one after the other. Pennyworth would score the submission, locking on the Money Clip after a series of attacks to the neck actually seemed to affect the big man.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Non-Title Match</strong></p><p>

A pretty decent match, though Garofalo brought it down a bit with his haplessness in the ring. McManus and Allen showed some good chemistry, working together for the victory. This match told the story of Allen continually starting to go for the shortcuts, but getting frustrated and not pulling it off. This would lead to Riot Act getting some decent offense in. Allen would eventually make the hot tag, and McManus would finish off the bout, trapping Garofalo in a figure four for the win.</p><p> </p><p>

The match is over, and Allen shows signs of frustration. She brings a steel chair into the ring, obviously intending to lay some additional hurt onto the losers. McManus gets in her way, and talks her down quietly. After a minute or so, Allen drops the chair, and the tag champs walk up the ramp together.</p><p>

This proves to be a much better match than we were expecting, as the Caballeros actually give Pure Savagery a run for their money. Sadly, it was not to be, and once Savage took both of them out of the ring at once and laid into them outside of the ring, it was all Pure Savagery.

From the start of this match, Weatherfield put action to his words, and took the fight to the tag team. For good portions of the match, all the offense was coming from the solo competitor, and he got a number of near falls. Each time he went for the pinfall or submission attempt, however, the other member of Bitch Slap was right there to make the save. That forced Weatherfield to switch gears and try to take one of them out of the match, but he wasn't able to get either of them down long enough. But they weren't able to get him down for the count either, at least until they started abusing the five-count and double-teaming Weatherfield incessently. The numbers game eventually caught up to him, and Jarvis was able to lock him into the Lockdown Choke Sleeper. Huracan taunted him from the ropes that he was just barely unable to reach (pulling it away briefly at one point). Weatherfield eventually had no choice but to tap out.</p><p> </p><p>

Representing Apocalypse, Famine comes to the ring with fire in his eyes. He starts out strong and throws Robbinfield all over the ring, but eventually he starts to tire. Harvey is able to take control back, and slowly but surely starts to look like he's going to win. Famine does get in some more offense, but when he goes for a Leap of Faith at one point, Harvey is able to dodge out of the way. Robbinfield goes for the cover...but Faith rolls him up. Harvey should be able to get the kickout, but Famine reaches over and grabs the bottom rope behind Francis Long's back, and that gives him enough leverage to claim victory. </p><p> </p><p>

Lindland gets a surprise championship match here; the announcers say that Henry was impressed by TNBT's recent tag team performance and with other challengers dispensed with wanted to give him a shot. This was a good match that saw Lindland in control to everyone's surprise. Emily McQueen started talking about how Henry's confidence was shot after his recent loss, and we were going to start seeing the cracks in the champ -- and for a long time it looked like she might be prophetic. That's not to say Henry didn't get his offense in, but Lindland seemed to be in control for much of the match. At least until Money Talks' music played, and Lisa Bowen stepped out onto the ramp. She pulled down her sunglasses and stared at Lindland, who started looking around for her clients. The distraction was all it took for Henry to recover, and a quick Earthquake Powerslam later, he made the cover and retained the title.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p><p>

So, like an idiot, I never put Lisa Bowen in the storyline. I should do that. Harvey gives me one last great match, snuck in because this month's show runs earlier than the other months. War and Plague don't have negative chemistry, so if I don't replace Blackfriar, they may end up being Apocalypse's tag team. And Weatherfield does the job, contrary to my initial plans, because he's leaving (I got the email saying he'd signed with SOTBPW right after I finished this show).</p><p> </p><p>

And thus ends the first year of the diary. Thanks everyone for sticking with it. I'll look to get a year-end update in soon.</p><p>

We end the year with $461,989 in the bank. Current goal is to reach $350,000, which we passed in October. The last couple months have been incredible for income purposes...</p><p> </p><p>

Also, of note -- when Amber Allen and Riley McManus claimed the W$W Tag Team titles, Allen became a Triple Crown champion.</p><p> </p><p>

Buy-In Tournament 2028 Preview!

http://www.2d12.com/RTG/Richard%20Pennyworth%20III.jpg

It's an exciting time in W$W as the Buy-In Tournament will take place over the course of this month, culminating at IPO 2028. Before we announce this years contenders, however, we here at W$W would like to take a moment to honor a pair of legends in this business who have recently passed. Here in the USA, we pay tribute to the great Professor Nero, a man who inspired generations of wrestlers. Over in Japan, the owner of BHOTWG Kaneie Komina has passed, leaving that great company in a dangerous situation.

And now for the tournament. For the first time this year, W$W has invited some competitors who are not members of the active roster to compete. We hope that when the arrive in the W$W ring, our fans will welcome them appropriately. This years tournament will include the following:

Representing CILL and EMLL: California Kid!

Representing BCG, and the current Capeonato del Mundo EMLL: Harumi Asano!

The current L-Ring Heavyweight Champion: Mateo Deleon!

Independent wrestling stalwart Shawn Orton!

Also, the action will be spread over three shows this year, as W$W announces that they are re-activating the Hostile Takeover events that take place in the Mid Atlantic region. Buy your tickets now!

<strong>Ross Henry</strong></p><p></p><p>

Henry makes his way to the ring. He talks about the Buy-In Tournament, and how about there are many worthy competitors. He says that regardless of who wins, though, it's a moot point, as he, Ross Henry, will remain your Openweight Champion. He's defeated all comers in this company, and that's not going to change anytime soon.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

He's interrupted by music that is vaguely familiar...reminiscent of, but legally distinct from his theme music in other companies...this man enters the arena.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

<img src="<a href="<a href="http://www.2d12.com/RTG/Workers/Rich" rel="external nofollow">http://www.2d12.com/RTG/Workers/Rich"</a> rel="external nofollow"><a href="http://www.2d12.com/RTG/Workers/Rich" rel="external nofollow">http://www.2d12.com/RTG/Workers/Rich</a></a> Money.jpg" height="100" width="100"></p><p> </p><p></p><p>

The newcomer walks to the ring, taking a microphone. He says that just in case there are any newborns in the audience, HE is Rich Money. And for the last decade, give or take, he's been THE money behind Wall Street Wrestling. He's been content to let this company thrive or fail on it's own merits...but it's boring just sitting at home now that he isn't an active competitor. So he's been paying more attention. And this company...well...it's boring. We have an Openweight Champion who's gone through basically the entire roster and beaten them all. And that didn't sit well with Money. So, he's sought out some of the best in the rest of the world and brought them in for this years tournaments. Orton. Deleo. California Kid. Harumi Asano. But that's not all. Because the champ is right -- he's defeated everyone. So tonight, one of these newcomers gets a shot at the champ. If HE wins, then he becomes champ, and Henry has to fight his way through the tournament instead. Oh...and that match starts right now.</p><p></p><p>

Mateo Deleon is here as the L-Ring Heavyweight Champion, a fact that announcers talk about briefly, but he is here without his belt. He puts on a good show walking to the ring, and the crowd eat it up. When the bell rings, however...it's all Henry. At the opening bell, Henry hits Deleon with an Earthquake Powerlsam, rocking the outsider. From there, Henry is thorough in his dismantling of Deleon, though he takes his time to play up to the crowd a bit. Finally, he hits a second Earthquake Powerslam, and this time he covers for the three.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

A decent matchup to continue the show, though these two were instructed to get the crowd rowdy and they already were. That made the match suffer a little bit, but these two sitll did a decent job of it.

A singles match for the tag team champ who isn't entered into this years tournament. The announcers put this over as a potential preview of a future tag title match, and these two put on a good show. Plague hits all the right spots, with McManus taking them on the chin as needed. Finally, McManus gets the opening he needs and sends Plague into the barrier outside the ring with a body drop. He takes a moment to catch his breath, and goes to follow Plague outside the ring...and that's when Famine Faith makes his way to ringside. He doesn't do anything but stare at McManus, but it's enough to make him hestitate to get out of the ring. Plague recovers and circles the ring to roll in behind McManus while he's still focused on Famine. McManus finds himself the victim of the Fusion Destroyer before he realizes it, and that's enough for Plague to get the duke.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

As soon as the bell rings, Famine Faith has rolled into the ring, and he and Plague start beating down on McManus. He tries to fight back, but is quickly overwhelmed. The fight spills out of the ring, where McManus is driven into the ringside barrier. That's when the crowd goes wild, and Amber Allen rushes to the ring. She lays out Plague and turns on Famine, who has rolled back into the ring. Realizing she would be outnumbered if she continued the fight, she helps McManus up and starts backing up the ring after another kick to Plague.</p><p></p><p>

Faith gets a microphone just before Allen & McManus get out of the arena, and he leans lazily on the ropes and stares them down. He says that his first round matchup is here tonight, and between Plague's victory just now and his own in just a few minutes, the future of Apocalypse is bright. California Kid may be from somewhere else, but that doesn't matter to Famine. Tonight, he's just going to be another victim.</p><p></p><p>

Famine doesn't wait around, and as soon as the bell rings, starts in on the newcomer California Kid. He beats him down hard, eventually leaving Kid gasping for air from a series of hard blows. But, Famine takes the time to play to the crowd, posing on the turnbuckles letting Kid recover. California Kid hits a sneaky rollup, and nearly gets the pinfall, but Famine kicks out. From there, there's a series of back and forth moves that do a decent job of getting the crowd into it, and it ends finally with California Kid down on the ground. Famine stares down his opponent, then climbs the turnbuckles. A moment later, he hits the Leap of Faith, and holds on for the pinfall. He gives Kid one final kick for good measure as he rolls out of the ring to celebrate his victory.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

<strong>First Round Matchup in the Buy-In Tournament</strong></p><p> </p><p></p><p>

Savage was the runner up in this tournament last year, falling short only due to Ross Henry's continued undefeated streak. He looks to better that result this year, but standing in his way is the big Mike Aroma. These two brutes just look dangerous, and when the bell rings they fall on each other with a vengeance. For quite some time, nobody seems to get much of an advantage; repeated attempts at shoulder tackles result in both men standing. A test of strength goes nowhere. They trade punches in the middle of the ring, and the end result is both of them lying on their backs staring at the ceiling. In short, this match is a brutal-looking brawl from end to end. Eventually, Savage is able to string a few moves together, and appears to be getting set to take it home...but Aroma shows some surprising agility and gets a go behind, and follows it up with a Cracked Facebuster. Just able to roll Savage over, Aroma falls across his opponents chest afterwards, but it is enough for the three.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

Slick answers that he wasn't sure Henry would want to talk to him after failing and giving Henry his first loss -- and besides, earning a shot is so much better than being handed a shot. Henry nods, and the pair shake hands. Henry wishes Slick good luck as he walks out of the room.</p><p></p><p>

Juana Huracan is the only former winner of this tournament in this years field, as only she and Henry remain in W$W from former winners. Slick is the historically top Blue Chip champion in W$W history (though don't let War Diaz hear you say that). The two of them also showcase some pretty good chemistry. The result is a pretty decent matchup. Huracan and Slick take turns showcasing their skills back and forth, though neither is able to get a victory from their finishers the first time around; Slick is able to get to the ropes when Huracan locks on the Time Square Lock, and she is able to kick out of the Slick-Back. And that was just the first half of the match. From there, they kicked it up another notch, to the point that the announcers actually had some trouble keeping up with them. Finally, Slick was able to hit another Slick-Back, and this time, the pinfall stuck.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

<strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p><p></p><p>

I'm disappointed in this show. Sure, everything seemed to come out ok, but everything, outside of Henry's two segments, just seemed to fall a little flat. I don't know how it ended up as good as it did overall; better than the sum of its parts, I guess. Also, I completely forgot to look at the schedule before this show, and three of the guys in the tournament were unavailable today, which really limited the matches I included in this one. The title match was going to happen, but I'd planned on it being Harumi (who is a far better and more popular worker) and it being the main event. I was planning on also having a tag title match with some of the newcomers, but that just wasn't able to happen. These four guys (California Kid, Mateo, Shown Orton, and Harumi) are all on a three-month, three-appearance contract for the time being. Not sure if I'll try to bring any of them in on a more permanent basis, but we'll see how the upcoming matches go.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

LeFleur is by all accounts a damned good wrestler; he's the highest rated worker I have in the company. Obviously, I'm misusing him. This is a pretty good match hurt by the fact that we're in the Mid Atlantic and neither of these two are really big names, as well as the fact that it's a pair of heels. Nevertheless, these two put on a decent technical matchup interspersed with cheap tactics when appropriate. It looked like Pennyworth was going to pick up the victory, and was closing in on locking in the Money Clip when Patrick Lindland stepped out onto the ramp. Pennyworth got distracted for just a moment, and that's all it took for LeFleur to take control. Shortly aftewards, he locked on the Parisian Chickenwing for the submission.

However, there was a spot a little over half way through the match where Asano was throwing Allen over the top with a whip...but both competitors held on just a little bit too long, and it was quickly apparent that neither of them came out of it terribly good. Allen rolled back into the ring, and the two went into a rest hold, and very shortly thereafter she hit a Northern Lights Suplex, holding on with one arm for the pinfall...which was NOT the plan.

Final Thoughts

OK. Ok. So, the injury completely threw off the planned tag team match. Allen was NOT supposed to win that match, but there's no way to really un-book in this version of the game. Asano tore his rotator cuff, Allen strained her bicep. And IPO is just a week away.

In other news, I was planning on the Money/Pennyworth connection from the moment I thought about bringing Money in. It just seems terribly obvious. I'm thinking of playing Money as the uncle or some other similar relation and running with that. Should be fun.

And finally, BHOTWG has the booking position open. I considered applying...but really, I don't know Japan at all, and that would ruin the name of the diary. So, no.

Once back in the ring, the remaining time was almost a microcosm of the whole match, as they traded control fast and furious until finally, Famine was able to hit the Leap of Faith one more time. This time, Slick did stay down for the entire three count, giving Famine the tournament victory.

Winner by Pinfall: Famine Faith

Famine Faith wins the Buy-In Tournament for the first time.

Final Thoughts

So...this tournament was messed up from the beginning. The original plan, that obviously had to be scrapped, had Blackfriar failing in his attempt to win the Openweight belt but be entered into the tournament. There was going to be a Famine/Destruction finals, with all the possible ramifications thereof. I was going to give Famine the victory, and move Destruction down to team up with Plague for the tag team in the group. Obviously, Blackfriar leaving the company put all that to pasture. Next I considered doing the same story, but with War and Famine. But as I looked at it more, War Diaz just isn't quite up to earning an Openweight shot just yet. BUT, I did have him originally going further in the tournament than he did. And of course there was the injury with Harumi forcing Allen to continue in the tournament despite my wanting to book the tag title match. And then War comes back from Japan with the injury, forcing me to reconsider all of his matches; in the end I had him lose the first one, but work the injury angle so he didn't lose too much.

Even after all of that, I had the entire show booked...and sat there staring at the main event. Yeah, Famine winning was fun, but I wasn't sure if that was the way I wanted to go now. Without the Apocalypse-only storyline leading up to it, I thought maybe giving it to Slick was the better choice. In the end, I decided not to second guess myself, but I'm still hestitating even now (five days after I ran the show when I type this up), wondering if I made the right call. You tell me.

Nonetheless, I do think you've made the right decision (pending future developments, of course), so congratulations to the new W$W Tag Team Champions, Famine Faith!

The tag champs come to the ring. They tell the New England faithful that at IPO, Apocalypse members Plauge and War had challenged them to a match for the the titles. As far as Allen and McManus are concerned, that's an amazing idea...but they want to take both of them on in solo competition first -- and when War faces off against one of them, he's putting the Blue Chip Championship on the line too.

This was a really good match for a middle-card showdown in New England. Plague stepped up his game here, and he and Allen were able to ply this into a decent story while the announcers talked about this meaning that Apocalypse have accepted the champ's stipulations -- and that means that War Diaz will be putting the Blue Chip Championship on the line -- possibly as soon as next week at Hostile Takeover. Regardless, Plague showcases all the dirty tricks -- thumbs to the eye, removing turnbuckle covers, holding on the ropes. Allen weathers them all. Finally, in desperation, Plague brings a steel chair into the ring, and in full view of the referee, decks Allen with it. Allen is down and out, as Plague makes his way out of the arena, holding the chair high.

Two of our top tag teams put on a clinic of action here. The going is slow to begin with, each man showcasing their own strengths against the weaknesses of the other. Around the fifteen minute mark things started to heat up with some faster paced action...and around twenty minutes, it all started degrading. While trying to get Lindland out of the ring after missing a tag, Francis Long didn't see Reed and Savage wailing on Aroma in their corner. Lindland finally left the ring, only to run around to the other side and start attacking Reed, who was waiting to tag in. Their outside brawl quickly moved inside the ring while Savage and Aroma were still fighting, and all four men started brawling. As Long reached the five-count to try to convince the non-legal men to leave the ring, he just called the match while the brawl continued in the ring.

As Long was reaching the 6 count, it looked like he might, but then he smirked, waved at Slick, and backed up the ramp while Long finished counting him out.

Not a bad show, even if starting a game of Civ caused me to not write it up for a while. I wasn't sure what to do about the main event, so an IPO rematch seemed to be called for, especially considering their good chemistry in the ring. All in all, I think we're set for the future here.

There followed a brief four-man brawl before order was restored, and that was enough for Windham to make the tag. He and Phantom sent Thunder out of the ring, and debuted their own double-team move (a 'rana to an opponent on Windham's shoulders) the Show's Over for the victory.

This is McManus' second shot at taking the Blue Chip championship away from Diaz, but his first after Diaz claimed the War moniker. And honestly, it probably could have been a bit better. They told a decent story throughout the match, with their respective partners at ringside to promote the tag team championship match taking place at In The Red. War was dominant early in the match, and was often taking the time to pose for the crowd or taunt Allen at ringside. In fact, he had even set up for the Asian Thumb Spike at one point, but McManus was able to wriggle away from it, and in the ensuing scuffle, War was sent head first into the turnbuckle. From there, McManus claimed control, and was nearing his own victory when Plague took advantage of the referee's positioning to nail Riley with the title belt from outside the ring. He went down in a heap as Allen chased Plague around the ring in response. War tried to intervene, but in the process turned his back on McManus -- and that spelled the end of his title reign as McManus was able to hit a DDT variant and make the cover on the still stunned War to earn the Blue Chip Championship and become the newest W$W Triple Crown winner.

Obviously irate with losing their only current championship, War and Plague start attacking the tag champs immediately after the bell.

The trio beat down the tag champs for a while until Allen suddenly gets a burst of energy. She frees McManus and the pair of them are able to send the members of Apocalypse out of the ring. The trio isn't done, however, as they continue to circle the ring, looking for an opening. That's when someone climbs over the barricade out of the crowd.

Davis Ditterich is the first to recognize him as MAW stalwart The Architect; obviously he's been here to scout out the competition of W$W. He slides between two members of Apocalpyse and into the ring, nodding to McManus and Allen as he turns to support them against Apocalypse. With the new trio back to back, each facing off against one member of Apocalypse, Architect smirks, turns slightly, and absolutely decks Riley McManus with a vicious looking Blueprint. Apocalypse rushes the ring, and in the now 4-on-1 assault on Allen, it's only a matter of time before the two faces are unconcious and brutalized on the floor. Architect joins with Apocalypse as the four men celebrate together for the crowd.

Final Thoughts

Well. Those final two segments did NOT go as well as I'd hoped. I was hoping Architect's time in MAW would have made him a bit better here, that's why I chose to debut him in the Mid Atlantic. And the main event being a D+ just hurts. That made the show not as good as I'd wanted, but definitely still servicable.

For the record, YES, Architect will be a permanent member of Apocalypse...and no, he will not be going by Architect (though I did consider keeping his "The Architect of Destruction" full name) but in the end, I came up with something I liked better. More on that at In The Red.

As a bonus for everyone, I've already run In The Red, so I can provide a full card, if you'd like to make some predictions!

<strong>W$W Tag Team Championship Match</strong></p><p>

It was nice seeing Riley come out with two belts over his shoulder, though War was glaring at him during the entire pre-fight introductions. The rage coming off of him was almost palpable, and when the bell rung, War was instantly all over McManus. This was a brutal match, with all four competitors holding nothing back. The punches were stiff, the holds looked brutal, and the impacts left people breathless in the front row. There were numerous near falls on both sides, but in the end, War and Plague pulled out a devastating looking combination move on McManus that the announcers said was called the Bubonic Bomb. Allen tried to make the save but was cut off by Plague, and War covered for the three, giving him a little satisfaction.</p><p> </p><p>

Ross Henry is backstage. He looks introspective. He says that yes, Cali Slick is the one person in this company he's faced off against that he hasn't been able to defeat. But it's also true that Henry's undefeated streak came to an end when Slick was defeated in a match they were teamed up together for. That's a slight that Henry hasn't forgotten. They may be friends, but tonight, in that ring, there are no friends. Henry will destroy Slick, retain his title, and prove once and for all that there is nobody in W$W better than he is.</p><p>

Ditterich and McQueen briefly talk about Long backstage while the two competitors make their way to the ring. They're questioning whether or not the referee will even be able to make this match. McQueen asks who else in the company is even registered to be a referee...and then Joaquin Sanchez' music hits.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Special Guest Referee: Joaquin Sanchez</strong></p><p> </p><p>

The match itself goes pretty quick. Windham obviously knows he's gotten a raw deal and tries to take care of Pennyworth quickly, but Sanchez just doesn't play along, obviously. Pennyworth goes for the Money Clip early, though Windham is able to fight out of it the first couple of times, not allowing him to lock it in. After a brief distraction from Bowen at ringside, Windham gets caught a third time, and this time Pennyworth is able to get it all...and as soon as the hold looks right, Sanchez calls for the bell, saying that Windham tapped out. Windham looks furious at this, saying he never tapped, but Money Talks walk out of the arena with the cheap win.</p><p> </p><p>

Long has apparently recovered from his attack, as he's out here officiating this match, though with a bandage on one side of his forehead. These two take up right from where their partners left off, and this is a hard-fought match with no clear man in control. They trade blows and holds back and forth for a long time, though when Lindland starts to attempt a Figure Four on to Savage, it seems to wake somethign up in him. They almost devolve into a submission match after that, with neither man even going for a pinfall attempt despite numerous possiblities for victory in that way. Lindland is the one that finally breaks through, locking a camel clutch on his opponent in the center of the ring that causes Savage to tap out.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Ladder Match for the W$W Openweight Championship</strong></p><p>

<span>http://www.2d12.com/RTG/WSW%20Openweight.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

This was a damned impressive matchup. These two men wasted no time in bringing the ladders into play, and the hard hits and creative maneuvers got the crowd riled up. Both men attempted the climb the ladder to retrieve the belt a couple times, but never got above half-way up the ladder. There was a scary spot at one point where it looked like Henry might have landed inside a ladder wrong, but it was revealed as a work when Slick started attacking that point, trying to weaken the ankle enough so Henry couldn't get into the ring.</p><p> </p><p>

The ending came when, with ladders laying across the ropes in two different corners, and two different ladders set up in the ring itself, both men were climbing side by side. Trading blows half way up the ladder, neither of them noticed when Apocalypse came through the crowd and slid into the ring. With War and the Revelation taking Slick, and Famine and Plague taking Henry, both of the competitors in the match were the victims of brutal powerbombs through the ladders that had been arranged in the ropes, and neither of them moved afterwards. With a slow methodical pace, Famine Faith set a ladder up in the middle of the ring, climbed it, and pulled the belt down...causing Francis Long to call for the bell in confusion.</p><p> </p><p>

Finally, he looks over at Henry, who is still unconcious laying on the ladder in the corner. He stalks over to the champ, gets in his face with the belt, pointing to himself. Finally, with a smirk, he actually puts the belt back on Henry, buckling it around his waist while the champ remains unmoving. He continues to pose as the show ends.</p><p>

<strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p><p>

Yeah, so...That could have REALLY thrown me for a loop. I set up the ladder match as a no-contest sports entertainment type finish with all of Apocalypse attacking. But apparently the default ladder match...well, it needs a winner. Fortunately, it chose Henry, who I guess technically retrieved the belt even in my story...or was at least the first competitor to hold it tonight. Still, it went pretty well.</p><p> </p><p>

The Architect becoming The Revelation fits pretty well, I think. And the group needed another 'brains' type. War and Plague are definitely in the enforcer vein, and Faith is sort of the leader, but I still remember that he was just brainwashed to join. I look forward to continuing this story.</p><p> </p><p>

Apocalypse, McManus & Allen, Cali Slick, Ross Henry

</div>

</td><td valign="top" align="center" width="965">

The show starts out with the tolling of a bell, as the four members of Apocalypse make their way to the ring. War and Plague are carrying the W$W Tag Team belts over their shoulders, and the four men celebrate that victory as the first step on the road to total domination of W$W. They proclaim that nothing remains in their way, and that it is now only a matter of time. They are interrupted by the former tag champs, Amber Allen and Riley McManus; McManus carrying the Blue Chip belt. They walk up to the ring, but don't enter it, as they declare that they are deserving of a rematch; they are calling out Apocalypse right now! Apocalypse laughs that challenge off saying that there is no way they put these belts back on the line against chumps who couldn't even defend the titles a single time. Allen & McManus are lucky that Apocalypse doesn't just destroy them right now.

They are interrupted again by the Openweight champ Ross Henry, flanked by Cali Slick. They say that like Allen and McManus, they have a bone to pick with Apocalypse. There was an amazing ladder match taking place at In The Red, and Apocalypse ruined that. And it was damned time that somebody put them into their place. With that, Henry and Slick charged the ring, joined by Allen and McManus. Just like that, there was an 8-person brawl occurring. W$W officials came out to try to separate them, but the two quartets kept escaping to continue the brawl. Finally, a critical mass of bodies managed to come out and force the faces back behind the curtains, leaving Apocalypse to celebrate again briefly before they also left the ringside area.

Rich Money & Richard Pennyworth III

</div>

</td><td valign="top" align="center" width="965">

Backstage, Pennyworth is rubbing Money's face in the fact that he got around his strictures for his last match. After listening for a while, Money sighs and cuts him off. He tells Pennyworth that winning is one thing -- but getting the opportunities that go with it is another. Sure, you can cheat and lie and buy your way into a match, or out of a match...but this is a business. And if the crowd, the audience, thinks you're only in your position because you're cheating, they'll never let you elevate yourself properly. Even the bad guys have to show that they can win the right way once in a while, and that's what Money's been trying to teach him. But, since Pennyworth can't seem to wrap his mind around that, he'll be put in a match to do just that. At Bear Market Beatdown, Pennyworth will be placed in a handicap match against Showtime...and it will be in a steel cage. No help. No outside interference. Just Pennyworth showing that he HAS the talent to be a force here in W$W, and wasn't just put here because he had money. Pennyworth stalks off, obviously pissed about this declaration.

This match turned out a little better than expected. Thunder & Lightning were in control of the match from pretty much the opening bell, using fast tags and isolation tactics to slowly wear down their competition. Even when they allowed the Caballeros to tag in and out, it was seemingly part of their game plan, as they would immediately start in on the new legal man. Despite this, the Caballeros were game, and did manage to get some offense in here and there. The ending would come in what would have to be considered an upset, as Marcos caught Jason Thunder in a rollup when Lomas wasn't paying any attention to the ring, and was -just- able to hold on for the full three-count.

This match seemed to be a little less than the sum of it's parts. Aroma and Reed both looked pretty good out there. The crowd was into it. It told the story it needed to tell. And yet...something just seemed to fall a little short. As promised, Aroma spent a good part of the match just brutalizing Reed with his strength, while Reed played the cagey ring general using everything he could to his advantage. Reed tried for a number of cheap pinfalls (grabbing the tights, holding on to the ropes, etc.), but wasn't able to get anything to stick. As the match dragged on, Reed started looking a little more desperate -- though he managed to get a decent amount of offense of his own in. Finally, after Aroma basically threw Reed out of the ring, Reed had had enough. He searched under the ring for a moment while the ref was counting him out, and when Aroma climbed out of the ring to try to force the issue, Reed would nail him in the head with a steel chair. The referee would call for the bell immediately, awarding the match to Aroma.

Final Thoughts

So this month I actually started by booking the supershow (on paper), and then filling in the other two shows to lead into that. We'll see if that works a little better or not. In this show, I was disappointed with the main event. I'm wondering if the 'storytelling' note killed it that much. It didn't seem to hurt the final rating THAT badly, but everything about this show just seemed to underperform. I don't know what it is.

Famine's team will be his Apocalypse stablemates, Plague Ryland, War Diaz, and The Revelation. On Henry's side will be Riley McManus, Amber Allen, and Cali Slick. And the most important part of this match? Anyone who pins or submits a champion gets a shot at that title belt in the very near future. And since many of them have matches tonight, he lets it be known that any interference against their opponents tonight will not be tolerated.

While that was not ideal, it apparently allowed him to secret a monkey wrench, of all things, inside his shirt. A momentary distraction of the referee once he came back in was all it took to nail Lindland with the wrench and toss it out of the ring.

EBEZA · October 4, 2019

Aaaaand I'm caught up! A few fun shows, I love the idea for the stipulation for the 8-man tag! I did notice some very deliberate wording, though... I'm hoping you're thinking what I think you're thinking!

The announcers take some time to welcome everyone to W$W's newest home here in the swampland of New Jersey, and old office building converted to a wrestling arena. Marcel's little push continues here as he takes on Isabel in the opening match. Both of them look pretty good in this match, though Isabel moves the wrong way at one point and takes an elbow to the eye, giving her a visible bruise. Shortly after that, she is locked into the Parisian Chickenwing, and taps out almost immediately.</p><p> </p><p>

There were many ways I could have gone with this match. I kind of wanted to give the Caballeros another win, but with their relative pushes and popularity, I just didn't see that as realistic, and didn't think Jarvis would go for it. So, they instead had a relatively open match, with Jarvis getting warned multiple times for failure to meet the referee's count. In the end, Jarvis would get the victory with the Tornado Elbow Smash.</p><p> </p><p>

Pennyworth is backed into a corner, and you never want to trap an animal in a corner.

<strong>Cage Match</strong></p><p> </p><p>

A cage handicap match was not a good place to be, and Showtime took the fight to Pennyworth from the outset. They were both allowed in the ring at the same time, and the numbers game was hard to overcome. Still, Pennyworth played defense, and eventually was able to use the cage to his advantage, sending Windham into it hard, knocking him out and making it a one-on-one for a while. After that, the match was fairly standard, with Pennyworth mostly managing to isolate one of Showtime at a time. There was a scary moment near the end when Pennyworth whiffed on a move and went headfirst into the cage, coming down with a cut near his eye and having the referee spend a long time checking on him. He was able to recover enough to continue, and shortly after that he caught Windham in the Money Clip...and Phantom was too woozy to make the save before Windham tapped.</p><p> </p><p>

The animosity between these two teams is obvious at this match gets underway, and none of these men hold back one iota. This is a brutal looking brawl with technical undertones, and they all looked fairly good at it. There was a back and forth for a while, both teams getting their moments of isolating opponents. Lindland would get the hot tag that would end the match, double teaming Savage to send him out of the ring, then hitting Reed with the Phantom Driver for the pinfall.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Elimination Tag Match -- Defeat a Champion and Earn a Title Shot</strong></p><p> </p><p>

It's main event time, and the ring is crowded with eight people around the ring. The rules are one person is legal at a time, and they must leave the ringside once eliminated. Famine and Henry start off the match, but Famine quickly tags in The Revelation before they can even lockup. From there, the match progresses pretty well. Famine obviously tries to avoid Henry throughout the entire match, and mostly does a pretty good job of it.</p><p> </p><p>

The first fall comes about twelve minutes in, when Amber Allen connects on a Northern Lights Suplex against Plague, and her teammates cut off the save. Plague is eliminated, and Allen has earned a tag title shot for herself and theoretically Riley McManus. The match continues with Team Henry enjoying a 4-on-3 advantage for a few minutes, with a bunch of quick tags on either side. The Revelation strikes next, when he is able to lock up McManus in a Figure Four after a pointed attack on his knees, and he taps out before anyone can even try to make the save.</p><p> </p><p>

At this point, we're all knotted up with three a piece, and two title opportunities have been earned. There's a little bit of a slowdown in the pace now, as Henry and Famine continue to play chicken with each other, trying to avoid or meet the other in the ring. Apocalypse gets the next fall when War Diaz catches Allen with an Asian Thumb Spike out of nowhere, and she goes down. Mere moments later, Famine connects with a Leap of Faith on Cali Slick after a blind tag, and eliminates him as well.</p><p> </p><p>

Just like that, Ross Henry finds himself on the unfortunate side of a 3-on-1 handicap match, and Apocalypse starts playing with him. Having completely isolated the Openweight Champion from his allies, they are able to wear him down slowly but surely. He isn't out of it yet, however, and a devastating Earthquake Powerslam does eliminate The Revelation. Unfortunately, that proved to be just a distraction, as before he can even get up, War and Famine both pull out their finishers. Famine climbs the top rope, War tags him just before he flies with the Leap of Faith. Famine rolls out of the ring, War picks up Henry, and absolutely levels him with the Asian Thumb Spike...and makes the cover to the astonishment of the crowd. War Diaz earns himself an Openweight Title shot, and Ross Henry has suffered his first pinfall in W$W.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>Final Thoughts</strong></p><p>

So, a pretty decent show. Apparently War, Allen, Plague, and Revelation were all overused in that main event. Which is a shame. I wonder how much better it would have been without those penalties.</p><p> </p><p>

Two injuries tonight; Isabel Duran suffered a bruised eye socket, but she'll be back to full strength before you know it. Pennyworth (yep, that's me) got a concussion, and will be out for about a month. Guess that's a cage match for you.</p><p> </p><p>

For the record, I do wish elimination matches allowed you to choose how/when people got eliminated. I wrote this up as I wanted to see it, but the game had Revelation eliminated first, then Plague, then War, putting a 4-on-1 for Famine Faith. That was so NOT the story I wanted to tell here.</p><p> </p><p>

<strong>EBEZA</strong> Now I'm curious...what were you hoping I was thinking?</p><p> </p><p>

It's the return of the Dark Watch to tag team competition, as the two of them start out strong.

She finally snaps, "tags" him in with a hard punch, and leaves the ringside area. The Caballeros are able to capitalize, with Jose landing the Top Rope Elbow Drop for the pinfall victory. After the match is over, LeFleur rubs his jaw as he stares down towards the exit of the arena.

So, when War gets his shot at Breaking the Bank, Henry will be waiting for him. But that's not all, because Famine's still waiting in the wings. Henry points out that even together and with Henry at the end of nearly ten minutes of 3-on-1, they barely beat him...so he's not overly concerned about a singles match with either one of them.

While McManus & Allen still have earned themselves a title match, tonight, Thunder & Lightning get to be the first to try to take the belts away from Apocalypse, and that's just what they intend to do.

W$W Tag Team Championship Match

http://www.2d12.com/RTG/WSW%20Tag%20Team.jpg

This turns out to be a pretty decent match. Thunder & Lightning are able to showcase their own skills, showing off why they have been the champions in the recent past...meanwhile, Apocalypse continues their recent domination. War in particular looked pretty brutal, as the build towards his Openweight shot continues. Thunder & Lightning actually manage to hit a Thunderstroke on Plague at one point, but it turned out he wasn't the legal man after a blind tag, and War quickly cleaned house. He would continue the assault on Thunder for a while until Plague had recovered, then they would double-team and hit the Bubonic Bomb for the pinfall.

Winner by Pinfall: Apocalypse

Apocalypse makes their 1st defense of the W$W Tag Team Championship

Final Thoughts

Hey...not bad. Not bad at all.

I'm still not sure where I'm going with Jillian. She's a main eventer who hasn't gotten a decent push in quite a while...so I don't KNOW if I'm going to put her in a title program or not. There's lots of people waiting for one of those. But this is at least a start, and with the Pennyworth/Money program on temporary hold, this keeps Money in sight as well.

Final Rating: C

Have been reading this when I get a chance for a few days now and finally caught up - awesome dynasty! I love stuff further into the future; really interesting to see how people developed. Riley and Amber's storyline in particular is fabulous.
