CGC 2019: The Show Must Go On

DAVEFAN95 · January 12, 2020

Ali

Torque won by DQ last time, Ali will make sure he gets the points

Skip

Yeah, I said he'd win against Torque but didn't, that being said Ian getting a two point lead this early, don't think that's a good idea, so I give Skip the win to make it more even

Blockbuster

Dice is not a contender, Buster is.

Wolf

This is a match Wolf can get his first points, Thomas will always find a way to be relevant though

Bogans

Just way more established

Blake Trask · January 12, 2020

Man I hope somebody kicks Sayeed's ass.

Dude's a scumbag.

Zergon · January 12, 2020

Ultimate Showdown Series: (2) Sayeed Ali vs Torque (2)

Still thinking Ali will take this one so backing him up here over tag team guy.

Ultimate Showdown Series: (-1) Skip Beau vs Ian Identity (3)

Seems like Ian is having lots of steam right now while Skip seems to have problems getting wins. Skip likely gets his head into game at some point but I assume Skip´s performance is going to be one of the storylines on this series and I could potentially see him either being the one exiled (and coming back as changed man) or pulling deciding win on last series match to avoid being exiled (wonder if that last match could be against Blockbuster?). Either way, thinking Skip will dog himself into early hole so I go with Ian.

Ultimate Showdown Series: (1) Blockbuster vs Dice Elderberry (0)

Skip losing via DQ on first round made me wonder if he´s going to be on the losing end on this tournament instead of Dice but either way, I don´t see Dice getting any points on Blockbuster.

Ultimate Showdown Series: (1) Bobby Thomas vs Running Wolf (0)

This is a tough one, looks like I´m not giving Bobby enough credit with win and a tie instead of two losses in last two matches. On other hand, Wolf had good main event in last show and still needs to be established a bit and is younger so potentially more important in long run... well, guess we will see if Bobby manages to prove me wrong third time in row as I go against him once again. Reasoning being that I feel Wolf needs the win more in terms of establishing himself and Bobby should be able to get submission or two during this series so he can take a loss or two and still stay in the hunt for top spot.

Bonus Match: Lords of Vegas vs Woolabonga Bogans

Lords seems to be getting a bit of a push but I go with Bogans as they are slightly more established team at this point.

Ultimate Showdown Series: (1) Bobby Thomas vs Running Wolf (0)

Bonus Match: Lords of Vegas vs Woolabonga Bogans

After everyone's fought their 7 matches, who do you think will win the Three Wishes?

Sayeed and Bobby are my top two choices here. Sayeed would be a good villain with the three wishes, but I'll predict Bobby wins it all, but uses his Three Wishes for evil.

And who will be Exiled for 6 months?

Feels like Dice Elderberry could be exiled for a good long while. I think it is between him and Torque.

I like the new Submission Master gimmick for Ian, let's see where it goes.

Ultimate Showdown Series: (1) Blockbuster vs Dice Elderberry (0)

Just a feeling, Buster's the big man on campus and Dice is just a minion.

Ultimate Showdown Series: (1) Bobby Thomas vs Running Wolf (0)

In keeping with my prediction of him to win the series overall.

Bonus Match: Lords of Vegas vs Woolabonga Bogans

Hard to say. But these dudes have been picking up wins lately, let's give them a shot.

Sunday Week 1 June 2019

Late Evening on Maple Leaf Sports

Waterloo University Arena, Ontario

4,982 in attendance

Davis Ditterich "Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to week two of the 2019 Ultimate Showdown Series. I'm here with last year's winner, Jack DeColt. Jack, any predictions so far?"

Jack DeColt "Too early to tell, Davis. The Ultimate Showdown Series is a marathon, not a sprint. That being said, week one gave us a lot of twists and turns. Ian Identity revealed a new skill with submissions that couldn't have come at a better time, and the former "Champion Bros" of Blockbuster and Skip Beau became unstuck, thanks to the time limits and strict officiating of Shane Stones. I can't wait to see what tonight brings."

IN-RING

BLOCKBUSTER

Dice Elderberry! I don't like you and you don't like me, but you're

a smart guy. You know if you try to fight me I'll break you against

these turnbuckles just like I've done to everyone else! You don't

need to go through that! I'm winning the Ultimate Showdown Series

and there isn't a force on this earth that can stop me! Do the smart

thing, lay down, give me my points, and live to fight another day.

DICE ELDERBERRY

I don't know about that, slim. You didn't exactly look like a steamroller

last week. Time limit draw? Did you stop to take lunch in the middle?

Sounds like you're delivering a slow and plodding service. You got the

power. You got the strength, but you ain't got the speed to win the

Ultimate Showdown Series. Sounds like no matter what I do I'm

walking out of here with one point. If I don't knock your teeth

down your throat first.

CGC Tag Team Champions Express Delivery; HUGH ANCRIE and PHILIPPE LaGRENIER, rush to the ring to get between the behemoths.

HUGH ANCRIE

Woahwoahwoah, Dice- DICE! Calm down. We'll handle this. Blockbuster!

We're big fans. More important than that, we're businessmen. More

important than that, we're recruiting. I'm sure you saw our ad last week.

PHILIPPE LaGRENIER

Express Delivery are ze fastest rising tag team in both professional

wrestling and ze package delivery business, and due to unprecedented

demand for our services we're expanding our workforce.

BLOCKBUSTER

Are you crazy? I ain't wearing no goofy shorts.

HUGH ANCRIE

Relax. We're not looking for you to take some entry level position

on the Express Delivery team. You're a giant, a powerhouse, a titan!

We're offering you a partnership. Corporate synergy. Short term, with

an option to see where things go in the future. You want points, and

Express Delivery are in a prime position to deliver you those points

right here right now... but it comes with a price.

BLOCKBUSTER

... What kind of price?

Hugh Ancrie and Philippe LaGrenier put down their micrphones and quietly discuss terms with Blockbuster. The Heavy Metal Mauler thinks... and doesn't look happy... but nods. The Tag Team Champions return to Dice Elderberry, who looks even less happy.

PHILIPPE LaGRENIER

Ze terms are set. Let ze match begin!

(1) BLOCKBUSTER VS DICE ELDERBERRY (0)

Dice Elderberry lays down. Blockbuster covers. Shane Stones doesn't like it, but counts the 1. 2. 3.

BLOCKBUSTER WINS

(Blockbuster +2, Dice Elderberry +0)

Jack DeColt "What a disagrace."

BACKSTAGE

JENNY PLAYMATE

Skip, not a good start for you in the Ultimate Showdown Series.

By getting disqualified in the opening match you are now the first

USS competitor history to ever have negative points.

SKIP BEAU

Shut up, Jenny. I know what the scores are, and it's all that new

referee Shane Stones' fault. Who is he to tell me what's "legal"

or "fair" in a match? He claims to be all fair but he's got a

grudge against me, I know it"

JENNY PLAYMATE

Given your current standing do you plan on laying down for your

"best friend" Blockbuster like Dice Elderberry just did?

SKIP BEAU

What- I... It's not going to come to... Why did you put air quotes

around best friend? We ARE best friends. Me and Blockbuster have

an inseperable bond. I'd take a bullet for him, and he'd do the same

for me. If he needs me to, I'll lay down. And if I need him to lay

down for me... I... Shut up, Jenny!

(-1) SKIP BEAU VS IAN IDENTITY (3)

Jack DeColt "The two youngest competitors in this year's Ultimate Showdown Series. Skip has a big mountain to climb after getting disqualified last week."

Ian initiates the action with intense forearms and incredible dropkicks until he gets caught with a big backbreaker. Skip Beau repeatedly tries to cheat, but referee Shane Stones has eyes like a hawk and prevents all of the attempted hair pulling and fish-hooking. Skip begs not to be disqualified, and that's all of the opening Ian needs. Intrepid Arrow (Falcon Arrow) 1... 2... Skip kicks out but immediately finds himself in the Incapacitator (Double Underhook Armbar)! Skip taps!

IAN IDENTITY WINS VIA SUBMISSION (7:22)

(Skip Beau +0, Ian Identity +3)

Jack DeColt "Huge victory for Ian Identity. If that Incapacitator keeps working like it's been working, he's going to be tough to beat."

Parcel delivery and tag team wrestling are two of the fastest growing industries in the world, and only Express Delivery have married the two together in an unprecedented achievement in brand synergy. Now, due to the rapidly growing demand fortheir services, Express Delivery are looking to expand their workforce. Do you have what it takes to join the team?

Rusty Mills & Donovan Boon

WOOLABONGA BOGANS

LORDS OF VEGAS

Gnaw & The Great Trickerion

Jack DeColt "Two incredibly talented tag teams. I'm constantly amazing by the Bogan's practically telepathic teamwork, and Trickerion's wizardry is a handful. Undefeated in singles competition."

Mills & Boon show off their unparalleled teamwork until The Great Trickerion uses misdirection and illusion to run them into one another and cut the ring in half. A blind tag switcheroo unleashes a cavalcade of Kangeroo Fu and Drop-Bear-Obics, but when the Bogans prepare to finish off Gnaw, the ferocious feline removes his mask... to reveal Trickerion! Ta Da! The real Gnaw pounces out of nowhere to take out Boon. Glittering Magician on Mills! 1... 2... 3!

LORDS OF VEGAS WIN (10:18)

Abra Cadabra, The Great Trickerion pulls a microphone out of a hat.

THE GREAT TRICKERION

Behold, you have looked upon my works with wonder, but

soon The Great Trickerion will be unveiling his greatest illusion

ever. Facing off with Express Delivery and making their CGC

Tag Team Titles... disappear.

IN-RING

RUNNING WOLF

I wish to speak with you, Bobby Thomas. Few have been in this

company as long as you, and you are know as an honourable man.

Unfortunately YouTube has little footage from the final few months

of Howling Wolf's time in CGC, but I did find some photographs. Little

did I expect to see a different Tomahawk at my ancestor's side.

A "Robbie Tomahawk".

Bobby freezes. Uh oh. On Running Wolf's signal, a grainy scan of a 2000-era photograph appears on the big screen. It's a picture of a young Bobby Thomas, with dyed red hair and gaudy neon green jacket, standing alongside HOWLING WOLF, celebrating a victory.

BOBBY THOMAS

We all did things we're ashamed of when we were young. When

I was a rookie, I was desperate to find a way into CGC. So when

Howling Dog was looking for a tag team partner I did the logical

thing. I broke into a government facility and forged documents that

claimed I had Native American ancestry.

RUNNING WOLF

Where's. The. Tomahawk?

BOBBY THOMAS

I don't know. Howling Dog found out I was a fraud pretty quick

and sent me packing. By the time George DeColt gave me another

chance Dog was gone and so was his Tomahawk. I never found out

what happened.

RUNNING WOLF

I don't believe you.

(1) BOBBY THOMAS VS RUNNING WOLF (0)

Jack DeColt "It's true that not a lot of pre-2005 CGC footage is out there on the internet, so if you don't remember Bobby's first foray into wrestling... you didn't miss much."

Thomas doesn't try to dodge or evade any of Wolf's questions... which is perhaps a mistake given most of those questions involve powerful slams and tomahawk chops. No matter the punishment delivered, Bobby doesn't change his story, and latches onto the big man's arm, wrenching and twisting with all his might, looking for the submission. Cross Armbreaker! Wolf howls in pain... but won't give up his quest. He slams his way out of the hold and hits the Wolf Taker (Fireman Carry Slam) for the 1... 2... 3!

RUNNING WOLF WINS (8:48)

Running Wolf stands over his fallen opponent.

BOBBY THOMAS

I don't know where it is.

RUNNING WOLF

... I believe you.

Running Wolf helps Bobby to his feet, and leaves to continue his search.

BACKSTAGE

JENNY PLAYMATE

Faith, last week your boyfriend had a great start to the Ultimate

Showdown Series, picking up 2 points in a hard fought bout

with Running Wolf.

FAITH

I know, right?I'm so proud of him. He's wanted to be Champion

for so long and with those three wishes, all of his dreams will

come true and things will get better. I know I nearly screwed

everything up when I wandered into Running Wolf's path last

week, but I've promised Sayeed I'll be on my best behaviour

tonight and my baby's gonna bring home another 2 points.

JENNY PLAYMATE

What... What do you mean? You didn't wander into Wolf's

path. Sayeed pushed you.

FAITH

No, Sayeed was just trying to save me. He always says I can

be really ditzy sometimes. I guess that's why everyone hates

me now and doesn't want me around.

JENNY PLAYMATE

Wait- Who? Nobody-

SAYEED ALI

Faith? What did I tell you about talking to reporters??? Come on.

You're making me late.

FAITH

Sorry.

/w Faith (2) SAYEED ALI VS TORQUE (2) /w Motorcycle

Jack DeColt "Who hates Faith? Who's telling her that? She's a very nice girl. With a dubious taste in men."

Torque unloads his toolbox of hammers, wrenches and drills, but lacking his partner's bulk can't take down the bigger man. Sayeed takes the fight to the streets, using the environment to inflict maximum damage, until Referee Shane Stones demands he return to the ring and Torque switches gears. He flies high with head-scissors and crossbodies before mimicking his opponent by taking things outside, where he can use his speed and agility and diminutive size to use the environment to his advantage.

"60 seconds remaining"

The pair fight up the entrance ramp, with Faith fleeing beneath the entrance way. A wild crossbody sends the pair into the bite-sized biker's motorcycle, parked at the top of the ramp. It teeters and wobbles and...

Jack DeColt "Oh no. It's going to fall on Faith!"

Sayeed just stands there and watches, as Torque jumps in at the last second to save his bike (and Faith). Ali takes advantage with the GBH Driver (Implant DDT) on the ramp, and runs back to the ring to take the count-out victory.

SAYEED ALI WINS (9:30)

DAVIS DITTERICH

Just enough time to take a look at the updated scoreboard with the official

Ultimate Showdown Series panel.

JENNY PLAYMATE

Tonight came down to who wanted it more. Running Wolf and Ian

Identity were men possessed, and that absolute jackass Sayeed

Ali was willing to put his own girlfriend in danger just to get an

advantage. And I can't help but wonder what Blockbuster agreed

to give up in exchange for those two points.

JACK DECOLT

He should have bartered for three. Ian Identity is running away with

the series thanks to his new submission hold. I wonder if he can keep

it up next week against the submission specialist Bobby Thomas.

SHANE STONES

From now on there's going to be a ban on vehicles at ringside. That

motorcycle was going to fall on that poor Faith girl. Very dangerous

and I won't have that going on. Not on my watch.

FINAL RATING: C

0.83 rating on Maple Leaf Sports

Just scraping by. A weak main event (the third Sayeed Ali match that has performed worse than expected... at this point I can only blame myself) and no strong promo to pick things up. Nevertheless, we didn't lose popularity with this show. Which given none of my top 4 stars are in the Series, I consider a win.

The tag teams did better than expected. I'm starting to think tag team wrestling is a bit OP in TEW'16. Four lower midcarders, both with positive chemistry, only one with real experience, outperforming everyone. In a babyface on babyface match nonetheless. I'm hoping that in TEW'20 tag teams get penalties when they have less than, say 5 or 10pts experience. A small one to simulate the initial awkwardness. I went back and forth on the winner there. Mathematically, the Bogans were the better choice, but from an ideas standpoint I'm enjoying the magician gimmick more than the australian stuff.

Is Robbie Tomahawk weird? I consider it canon, because of an old 1997 game I played. Bobby & Howling Dog had negative chemistry. It was an enjoyable flop.

Next Week, the Ultimate Showdown Series continues...

DAVEFAN95 · January 19, 2020

Torque

He's gonna want revenge on Dice so I think he gets a nice win here to keep him strong

Ali

I'm surprised Skip lost to Ian, that being said, I can't see him beating Ali.

Bobby

I'm giving Bobby the win for the reason that yes, Ian's been on a roll, but Bobby has the actual skill to counter the submission hold, plus a loss here does nothing as Ali hasn't got a submission

Blockbuster

Wolf isn't lying down in this one but I also don't see Blockbuster losing the ground here. A win here puts him on 5 one behind the joint leaders of Ali and Ian if my predictions go right.

I liked the Bobby segment. Thought it was fun and although I like the story that Running Wolf has (despite his complete ignorance of the series itself it seems), I feel like Howling Dog and Running Wolf would be from different tribes (I'd speculate Iroquois and Seminole respectively), though I'm getting too technical.

LOV going for the belts intriguing. Personally I think the C in the tag match came from the Bogans more the the Lords but hey nice grade regardless

Will we see the tag team champions interfering on his behalf? Oh dear...

Zergon · January 19, 2020

(0) Dice Elderberry vs Torque (2)

Giving Dice win here purely to keep both of these guys out from top of the standings as I don´t see either one of them being the winner or even close to win this one.

(4) Sayeed Ali vs Skip Beau (-1)

Skip finds himself deeper in the hole with another loss.

(1) Bobby Thomas vs Ian Identity (6)

If someone can out submit Ian it´s going to be Bobby but I could also see draw happening if you want to go with the "they both so good that neither man can make another to submit" type of story. Still going to back up Bobby for once here.

(3) Blockbuster vs Running Wolf (2)

I´m going to go with another time limit draw as Wolf is the most likely guy (alongside Ali) I could see taking points off from Blickbuster and since I don´t think Blockbuster will win this tournament some one has to get points off from him.

They're different tribes but allies. I've just looked back over the past promos and I think that fact was cut out along the way. Howling Dog is (according to '97 mod) from the Cree tribe in Canada, while I put Running Wolf down in New Mexico. While they've likely never met, Dog used the tomahawk to aid many people, including Wolf's tribe. "Ancestor" is more of a cartoony-flavour term, given Dog would be maybe 20-24 years older than Wolf.

LOV going for the belts intriguing. Personally I think the C in the tag match came from the Bogans more the the Lords but hey nice grade regardless

It was actually pretty close. The Bogans have better team experience, but I'd be tempted to say the Lords are better workers. Chemistry equal. Trickerion's less popular but Gnaw's actually more. Smarks know who's under the mask, I guess. I still give the edge to the Bogans, and they were the 'smart' choice, but I'm having more fun writing Trickerion. The guy is consistently benefiting from last minute gaps in shows, just because I have fun with it. With my packed tag division, I genuinely thought Lords of Vegas wouldn't get on TV after WrestleFestival.

Ah, fair enough. I was just talking crap anyway, it was suppose to be talking more about Bobby then Running Wolf but I got caught up about Running Wolf. I am very interested in finding out who took the tomahawk though.

Huh, nice to know. Have you mentioned who Gnaw is... I feel you have but can't think off the top of my head. Regardless, I like the team. Trickerion is fun for sure, Gnaw is also fun. The Bogans are probably my favourite tag team on the roster right now despite of my love of Express Delivery, but LOV v ED should be a great feud

Youthful and energetic, Ian overwhelms the veteran with intense forearms and incredible dropkicks, but makes the mistake of taking a submission expert to the ground. Bobby cannily counters every attempt at the Incapacitator (Double Underhook Armbar) and locks in a Cross Armbreaker! Ian's trapped... and taps!

Looking a little lonely there, small fry. What happened? You lose

your fat tub of lard partner? Oh yeah, Express Delivery stuffed him

a box and sent his fat ass outta here. Probably to fat camp. Because

he's fat.

TORQUE

Shouldn't you be laying on your back right now, trying to sell me

points for favours. What did Blockbuster offer for that last week?

Or did you just do it for the thrill of the game?

DICE ELDERBERRY

Watch it, pipsqueek. That was a business arrangement for the good

of Express Delivery; the fastest rising tag team in professional wrestling.

You may think it's fun riding bikes with lardo now, but soon you're going

to realise that friendship means nothin'. Wrestling is business, and the

key is having a corporation at your back. They're recruiting right now.

Maybe if you're a good boy and shut that smart mouth of yours I'll

ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN SERIES MATCH

(0) DICE ELDERBERRY VS TORQUE (2)

Jack DeColt "Torque will be looking for revenge after Express Delivery mailed his partner Greaser away at Chaos in the Cage'."

Torque empties the Gear-Head toolbox of hammers, wrenches and drills, but Elderberry has seen it all before. In fact, he does it better, his mighty bulk making everything more effective. Torque switches gears and flies high, but lacks direction. And ideas. Dice catches the third crossbody. RPM Bomb (Spinning Crucifix Toss)! 1... 2... 3!

ROBIN DALAY VS THE GREAT TRICKERION

Jack DeColt "Last week The Great Trickerion challenged Express Delivery to a match for the tag team titles, but plenty of other teams are wanting shots at those belts; including Robin and his Dad."

Trickerion proves himself to be as good an escape artist as he an illusionist, repeatedly slipping free of young Robin's grasp. Clubbing blows allow DaLay to bully the smaller man around for a short while, but Trick pulls victory out of his hat with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and the Glittering Magician! 1... 2... 3!

THE GREAT TRICKERION WINS (6:40)

HUGH ANCRIE

Who do you think you are challenging us to a match for our

ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN SERIES MATCH

(4) SAYEED ALI VS SKIP BEAU (-1)

Jack DeColt "Two of the dirtiest fighters in CGC today. Shane Stones is going to have his hands full."

Ali repeatedly tries to get Skip disqualified, daring him to poke eyes or use weapons, and then lying to referee Shane Stones when Skip keeps it clean. Stones is having none of it. Snap jabs! Backbreakers! Skip feels the Flow... so Ali throws Faith in harms way. As the referee takes the poor girl to safety, Sayeed fetches a chair, gives it to Skip, and lays down. Shane Stones turns around to see Skip standing over an 'unconscious' opponent, chair in hand. He calls for the... No. Wait a second. Something isn't right. He asks the crowd who brought in the chair.... and disqualifies Ali!

SKIP BEAU WINS VIA DISQUALIFICATION (5:55)

dweeb in that rinky-dink tribe of yours. Do the smart thing. Lay down!

RUNNING WOLF

Why should I trust you? My people have trusted men like you before,

and it's never ended well. My ancestor, Howling Dog, trusted men like

you, and it brought nothing but sadness and despair to our people. Just

the fact that you call the sacred tomahawk a "magical wotsit", shows how

little you understand of the world around you. The magic that flows

through this mat, these ropes, the very turnbuckles you hold dear. No

wonder you lost the CGC World Title. You couldn't begin to comprehend

what you had.

BLOCKBUSTER

You calling me stupid??? I was the best champion ever! And I'm gonna

win it again! You want this the hard way??? You got it!

ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN SERIES MATCH

(3) BLOCKBUSTER VS RUNNING WOLF (2)

Jack DeColt "Blockbuster is a heavy-hitter and tough as nails, but he struggled with the pace required in the Ultimate Showdown Series in the first round, and Running Wolf won't go down without a fight."

No time to lose, Blockbuster attacks as the bell rings, thrashing and shredding and beating Wolf like a drum, but tries the BusterBomb (Powerbomb to Turnbuckle) far too early and pays the price. Back Body Drop! Running Wolf displays impressive strength, overpowering the former champion until Blockbuster can settle the fight back down to the plodding pace at which he's most comfortable.

"60 seconds remaining."

Whoops. Blockbuster gets desperate, charging in recklessly and eating a series of tomahawk chops! Running Wolf begins his war dance and Blockbuster tries every trick in his limited playbook to try to get the BusterBomb, but Wolf keeps escaping it. So he borrows something from Skip. Roll up! Handful of tights! 1... 2... 3!

BLOCKBUSTER WINS (9:57)

Jack DeColt "Blockbuster snatches two points with seconds left on the clock. He's in a strong position, but he's clearly struggling under these-"

Blockbuster isn't done! He attacks Wolf from behind and rips the pad off of the top turnbuckle.

BOOM!

Bolts of lightning strike the ringposts, causing Blockbuster to flee. A big one knocks out the lights in the building, and when they come back on, ZEUS MAXMILLION is standing in the ring, CGC World Title around his waist, microphone in hand.

ZEUS MAXMILLION

The day I arrived in Canadian Golden Combat, I was cursed to remain

until I had completed Twelve Labours. For thirteen years I fought and

failed and struggled to earn my ascension, and at 'Chaos in the Cage'

I finally succeeded. When I won the CGC Title, a lightning bolt sent me

to Mount Olympus. My full power was restored and I was welcomed

by the gods with open arms. I could remain there, my tasks complete,

basking in the warm embrace of immortality. Forever. But I am not

done here. For I could not have completed my Labours without help.

I could not 'Defeat The Fountains of Youth' without Stevie Grayson.

I would not be "Wearing The World Around My Waist" without DT

Rush. And I could have not learned courage and humility and humanity

without all of you cheering me on. I owe you all so much for that and

I aim to repay you the only way I know how; by wearing this belt with

pride and defending it with honour like all of the heroes and warriors

who have worn it in the past. Zeus Maxmillion will be a Champion

that CGC can be proud of.

BLOCKBUSTER

So I guess you got your hearing back. Good. I want you to hear me

when I tell you that I'm winning the Ultimate Showdown Series,

and I'm gonna use those three wishes to make your life a living hell!

Blockbuster tries to get in the ring and- BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! On Zeus' command, lightning bolts strike the ringposts! Blockbuster flees and Zeus Maxmillion stands triumphant in the middle of his ring.

0.80 rating on Maple Leaf Sports

No character has benefited from gaps in my booking as much as The Great Trickerion. This isn't the first time I've booked a script on TEW, realized I'm 6-10 minutes under, and thrown him on last minute.

Zeus is back. While I'd love to have laser focus on the Ultimate Showdown Series, I really hated the idea of giving him the title and having him disappear for a long time. Also, if the USS guys are to be main eventing, they need to be backed up by strong angles, and they aren't pulling those off (Wolf/Buster was really close). Zeus can and did. He was originally returning next week, but I wanted a strong angle tonight, and again, I really under-booked this one.

Next week, the Ultimate Showdown Series slows down a little, to make way for tag team title action!

DAVEFAN95 · January 26, 2020

Express Delivery

Nah, can't see the Lords winning this. I don't see anybody on the roster right now who could feasibly take the belts off ED right now.

Running Wolf

Wolf needs to get back in the mix and a win against Ian will do that

Skip

Much like Wolf, Skip needs the points to stay relevant.

Dan DaLay

DT Rush isn't someone I see as a long term supporting character and even if I did, Dan is still much higher in the totem pole.

Regis · January 26, 2020

ZEUS! ZEUS! ZEUS! ZEUS!

I loved that last promo. I'd been wondering what the justification for him coming back would be, and you didn't disappoint. It's classic babyface material, and I can't wait to see how Zeus pays back the Faces of CGC for their assistance.

Also, Shane Stones clearly has superpowers. He's a wrestling referee with object permanence!

I love Intrepid Ian the submission specialist, but Running Wolf has more of a plotline right now.

Thinking it´s bit early for Delivery to drop the belts so this is one trick Lords of Vegas ain´t able to pull of.

Looking at the points, I think Wolf needs the win more in order to stay in the hunt while Ian can take a loss and still be in the contention.

Ultimate Showdown Series: (2) Dice Elderberry vs Skip Beau (1)

I have been changing my mind a lot about were I expect things to go but I think I still keep the idea that Skip is going to be near the bottom until the end so I would have Dice take this one (although I did say Dice would be the one being exiled so guess I changed my mind on how one of these guys going to perform anyway ).

Dan DaLay vs DT Rush

Nope, Rush ain´t going to go over Dan.

Davis Ditterich "We're halfway through the Ultimate Showdown Series, and tonight we're slowing down a bit, featuring just two Series matches. Why? Because this is Title Bout Wrestling, and we have ourselves a title bout."

Jack DeColt "Postal pugilists Express Delivery have improved leaps and bounds in 2019, boxing up their challengers and sending them packing. Tonight they defend their CGC Tag Team Titles against the undefeated master of illusions, The Great Trickerion, and his feline assistant Gnaw. The Lords of Vegas have a lot of style and an endless bag of tricks. This could be their night."

ZEUS MAXMILLION

Blockbuster plans to win the Ultimate Showdown Series and use

the Wishes against me... but I will not be a Champion who needs

to be forced out of hiding by Wishes. If Blockbuster can win such a

grueling endurance test as the Ultimate Showdown Series, then I

will be the first to shake his hand, congratulate him on his victory,

and agree to glorious battle. I said last week that I would be a

Champion that CGC could be proud of. I aim to bring glory to this

belt by taking on the best of the best and no matter who wins the

Series, be they Blockbuster or any other, they will get their

chance to face me. The shadows of cowardice and spite that

hang over this title will be eradicated... Starting tonight.</div>

Zeus throws a match into a cauldron, which bursts into flames. Through the fire emerges...

DIABLO DeVILLE

Why have you summoned me, demi-god? Do you wish to unleash me

upon your enemies? Do you wish me to tear their flesh from their bones?

ZEUS MAXMILLION

I will not use you as a puppet as Blockbuster did, demon. For I was

once like you. Awash with mystical power. Holding myself apart from

humanity. Thinking myself above them. Only by embracing the strengths

of mortal men did I become whoe. You can be more than a demonic

assassin, Diablo DeVille.

DIABLO DeVILLE

I am nothing like you, demi-god. You are a half-breed mongrel, stained

by the filth of humanity. I am a demon prince. True-born from the

bowels of Hell. My kind looks upon yours and laughs. The only reason

I lower myself to speak to you is because I'm bound to that pitiful title

around your waist. Want to prove that you're not a coward? Unleash

me or release me!

ZEUS MAXMILLION

I will not be goaded, demon. I offer you redemption.

DIABLO DeVILLE

I require none! I shall wait. How long do you think you can hold on to

that title? How long until you slip and fail and it falls into less "noble"

hands? No one rules forever. You’re going to lose eventually. Then I

will be unleashed and I will bathe in the blood of Canadian Golden

Combat.

Jack DeColt "Inspirational deaf athlete DT Rush helped Zeus win the CGC World Title, but now he's forging his own path to greatness."

DT may not be able to hear DaLay coming, but he sure can feel the big man moving in the vibrations of the ring. Jabs! Running Knee Strike! DaLay has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, however, catching Rush with a Big Boot, bullying him around the ring and laying him out with the DaLay Down (Belly to Belly Piledriver)! 1... 2... 3.

<div style="text-align:center;">DAN DALAY WINS (5:10)</div>

Jack DeColt "Two teams fight over the CGC Tag Team Titles in tonight's main event, but no matter who wins, they'll need to watch out. Dan DaLay is fired up and he wants those belts."

THE GREAT TRICKERION

Tonight, the Great Trickerion will perform his most dangerous,

most spectacular, most death-defying illusion yet. Watch as I make

the mighty LaGrenier's muscles meanigless. Gasp as I send Ancrie's

educated feet back to school. Ladies and Gentlemen you won't

Jack DeColt "Whoever comes in last place in the Ultimate Showdown Series will be exiled from CGC. Both of these men need to step up their game and find points fast."

Dice uses his enormous bulk and powerful stench to his advantage early. Skip resists the urge to cheat and is rewarded by an opening to hit a series of innovative backbreakers before whipping Dice into the turncukles so hard the pad flies off. Wait a second. Skip notices the exposed steel. Referee Shane Stones doesn't seem to have noticed it. He could use it to- Skip's scheming gives Dice time to recover! Dragon Sleeper! Skip is trapped nose-first in Dice's atrocious armpit. He fights and struggles and... passes out from the stench.

But this was all my fault. Please don't punish Sayeed because of me.

<div style="text-align:center;">SAYEED ALI

Oh I see what's going on here. Now it all makes sense. She doesn't

give a damn about you, Faith. She's just trying to knock me off my game

so that her boy here has a better chance in the Ultimate Showdown Series.

She's just like all of these people; they hate watching their Canadian

zeroes get destroyed by someone from the greatest city in the world;

NEW YORK CITY! So they're pretending to like you. To make

fun of you. To hurt me.</div>

Faith is confused. That doesn't sound... right?

<div style="text-align:center;">SAYEED ALI

I love you, Faith. I'm the only one you can trust. I'm the only one

who will tell you the truth. You're not the prettiest girl in the world.

Or the smartest. But I love you. And the power of our love in going

to win me the Ultimate Showdown Series and go on to be the greatest

World Champ in CGC history. Even though you got me disqualified

Running Wolf decides there's no point in interogating someone Ian's age about something that happened in 1997, until Identity proves his 1997 expertise with perfect renditions of Ed Monton's Uppercuts and Jake Sloan's Tornado DDT. Spurred on to interogate the youngster, Wolf is lured in and taken down for the Incapacitator (Double Underhook Armbar), but the Native American Detective is powerful and determined.

<div style="text-align:center;">"60 Seconds Remaining"</div>

Ian gives up the submission and tries the Intrepid Arrow (Arrow Suplex) but Wolf's too strong. Wolf Tamer (Fireman's Carry Slam)! 1... 2... 3.

EXPRESS DELIVERY

Hugh Ancrie & Philippe LaGrenier</div>

Trickerion and Gnaw cut the ring in half and bite fingers respectively, until a Collector's Stamp (Mafia Kick) from Ancrie takes down the master illusionist. Devious deliveryman Ancrie shows off his stamp collection, before muscular mailman LaGrenier sends Trick to suplex city. Trickerion proves himself to be a fine escape artist, freeing himself from Ancrie's Figure-4 and unleashing his ferocious feline friend, who scratches and claws and mauls the champions with his murder mittens like an uncaged animal!

Tiger Suplex to LaGrenier! Small Package to Gnaw! 1... 2... Glittering Magician to Ancrie! Gnaw puts LaGrenier in The Feast (STF with Biting) as Trickerion stands guard.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="gTAfnLu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gTAfnLu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="3TJ6peB.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3TJ6peB.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="fbAs9gP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/fbAs9gP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="r4pFLkv.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/r4pFLkv.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div>

Four men in Express Delivery uniforms come out of the crowd and surround the ring, distracting Trickerion just enough that he takes his eye off of Ancrie. Collector's Stamp! He saves his partner and Express Delivery hit First Class Package (Package Piledriver/Flying Stamp) for the win.

<div style="text-align:center;">EXPRESS DELIVERY RETAIN (16:31)

HUGH ANCRIE

We told you we were recruiting. We told you Express

Delivery are the fastest growing team in professional

wrestling. Boys! Let's send these Vegas freaks back

where they came from.</div>

The four new recruits swarm into the ring and cover the Lords of Vegas with more stamps as LaGrenier throws two large cardboard boxes into the ring and-

<div style="text-align:center;">BOOM!

<img alt="pDTE1FI.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pDTE1FI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div>

Lightning bolts hit the turnbuckles. ZEUS MAXMILLION has come! The CGC World Champion thunders down to the ring to save Trickerion and Gnaw, fending off the new recruits with left hands and headbutts. LaGrenier and Ancrie flee outside, putting their new recruits between them and the avenging demigod... but Zeus presses the smallest one over his head and hurls him on top of the pile!

Individual ratings were Ancrie: C, LaGrenier & Gnaw: C-, and Trickerion with a respectable D+. I still think the Bogans would have given a better result (solely down to team experience) but I do have fun with the Lords of Vegas. I may have to do more with Gnaw. Davis Wayne Newton is under the mask, a guy the smarks in the crowd know, with a gimmick they hate. He doesn't seem entirely comfortable wielding the murder mittens either. "Rebel Cell" were always two guys I wanted to come in as a tag team, but Trickerion has clicked more for me (and really lucked into that mini-singles push). My original concept for the team was for DWN to either be a Vegas lounge singer (I feel like I'd need to write song fragments) or as the "beautiful assistant". A play on Siegfried & Roy's white tiger felt more wrestling. I don't think hardcore fans would appreciate any of the gimmicks. Although, looking at AEW these days (the only wrestling I watch) it seems like dumb goofy gimmicks (90% of what I write) get over with modern audiences. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Regis" data-cite="Regis" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46917" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Also, Shane Stones clearly has superpowers.

Royce Greig was far more easily tricked in the main event. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="twPBOOt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/twPBOOt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Next Sunday...
