CGC 2019: The Show Must Go On

[Self]

Sunday Week 1 April 2019

Late Evening on Maple Leaf Sports

Prince George, British Columbia

3,800 in attendance

 

 

Davis Ditterich "The DeColt WrestleFestival is over and Canadian Golden Combat has been shaken by two unexpected losses. Not only did Zeus fail in his quest to complete his Labors and free CGC from Blockbuster's championship reign, but Jack DeColt was defeated by special guest host Jack Bruce. If I know the Wild Man he's not going to be happy about such a high profile failure at his father's WrestleFestival. Batten down the hatches, folks. Expect a rampage!"

 

 

 

ALEX DECOLT

Ladies and Gentlemen, the DeColt WrestleFestival may be over but

our next PPV spectacular is just around the corner. It's just seven weeks

away and I already know the perfect main event. Blockbuster may have

left WrestleFestival with the CGC World Title, but he only did so because

of interference from his goons. I know Zeus Maxmillion wants a rematch

and I see no reason not to give it to him. And this time Blockbuster won't be

able to use his demon or his lackey or his speakers to help him, because I'm

putting this match inside a Steel Cage! "CGC Chaos in the Cage"! Seven

weeks away! Zeus has worked out the puzzle of how to beat the

Blockbuster, and now it's going to be a fair fight.

 

 

SAYEED ALI

Hold on a second there. Don't you think it's a little too early to be

making that announcement? Zeus has beaten a lot of people, but he

ain't beat me yet, and I don't plan on being a stepping stone tonight.

 

FAITH

My baby's got a taste for gold now. He'll be Canadian Champion

again soon. Just you-

 

SAYEED ALI

I don't wanna be no damn Canadian Champion, woman! Who would

want to be champion of this frozen wasteland of a country? I'm from

America! I'm from New York City! The best city in the World! I made

it there, so I can make it anywhere. And everywhere! Just like my boy,

Jack Bruce. He came through WrestleFestival and proved that New

Yorkers rule, Canadians drool. He punked out Jack DeColt and tonight

I'm gonna do the same to Zeus Maxmillion! "Canadian Title"? Naw,

If there's any title good enough to be around my waist, it's the

CGC World Title.

 

 

7 WEEKS AWAY

Featuring

Steel Cage Match for the CGC World Title: Zeus Maxmillion vs Blockbuster ©

... and the Ultimate Showdown Series Begins

 

 

DERMOTT AYRES VS THE GREAT TRICKERION

Davis Ditterich "This marvelous magician debuted at WrestleFestival."

 

The Great Trickerion requires a volunteer from the back to help him perform his latest illusion; the Vanishing Pitbull. Dermott Ayres is skeptical, but his aggressive ground game backfires when he chases Trick outside and gets hurled under the ring. Ta-Da! The Pitbull is gone! The Great Trickerion takes a bow, hits a belly-to-belly suplex and the Glittering Magician to pull victory out of his hat.

 

THE GREAT TRICKERION WINS (6:15)

 

 

 

ZEUS MAXMILLION walks through the parking lot. CGC Security members offer their sympathy, but Zeus doesn't even acknowledge them. He is determined and focused.

 

 

THE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

with your host; "The Dread Captain" Hugh DeArrrske

 

 

A stage has been erected in the crowd, set up to look like the Captain's quarters of an olde timey pirate ship. Creaking wooden planks and ornate maps and stolen doubloons and a squarking parrot. The whole thing is even on hydraulics to make it sway as though sailing on the seven seas. HUGH DeARRRSKE sits in the Captain's chair. He pulls the cork out of a bottle of rum with his teeth and pours a filthly glass for his guest tonight; SKIP BEAU.

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

Shiver me timbers! It's time for the scurviest talk show in CGC hist-arrrr-y!

Welcome to the Cap'n Quarters! This week I be welcoming aboard the

Champion of Canada himself, Skip Beau.

 

SKIP BEAU

Thanks, Hugh. I am delighted to be here but absolutely sickened by what

Alex DeColt announced earlier tonight. Why is Zeus Maxmillion getting

another shot at the World Title? Blockbuster already beat him at Wrestle

Festival! You know, if you ask me Alex has gone mad with grief. First he

watched Zeus fail against the most metal champion in CGC history, and

then he had to watch Jack Bruce shame his entire family by beating

his brother.

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

But what do you say to the scurvy landlubbers who say Blockbuster

only won because ye be runnin' in and intererin'?

 

SKIP BEAU

That's preposterous! I only went out there to help my best friend

celebrate. When I saw Blockbuster walking up the ramp, title belt

in hand, I assumed he'd already won. Yes, I jumped the gun, and

yes, I was running... but I was excited! And my fists were only clenched

because I was going to throw confetti... If anyone's to blame for

Zeus losing it's himself. For attacking ME. I'm the real victim here.

 

 

CGC CANADIAN TITLE MATCH

 

CHRIS FLYNN VS SKIP BEAU ©

Davis Ditterich "Flynn defeated Robin DaLay at WrestleFestival. Can he break up the recently reunited "Champion Bros"?"

 

Referee Jonathon Taylor confiscates the tyre iron in Skip's singlet and the challenger picks the leg looking for the Ankle Lock. Skip begs off from the furious assault, and Flynn falls for it. Sucker punch! Repeated backbreakers! Flow Down (DVD)! 1... 2... 3!

 

SKIP BEAU RETAINS (5:57)

 

 

 

HUGH ANCRIE

Express Delivery answered the call to WrestleFestival, and we

delivered! We put Ian Identity in a box and sent him to Brazil! We

took the WoolabongaBogans to Suplex City! The next stop on our

route? Those filthy mechanics The Gear Heads!

 

PHILLIPE LaGRENIER

We need ze gold around our waists, non? Come rain, sleet or

snow we aim to deliver.

 

 

DAN DALAY

The only thing you delivery dorks need to do tonight

is stay out of our way! We got unfinished business with

the Gear-Heads! They may have beat us once, but with

the new tricks my boy learned from Eric Tyler, they ain't

gonna be so lucky next time!

 

ROBIN DALAY

Yeah!

 

 

 

TORQUE

The DeColt WrestleFestival! We came. We saw. We didn't quite

conquer. No, Greaser couldn't quite take the CGC World Title from

that blowhard Blockbuster, but we kept the Tag Team Titles around

our waists. Now the vultures are circling. Every tag team in CGC is

lining up for another shot at the champs. But we're ready.

 

GREASER

DaLays! You took Robin back to school? Who cares??? Express Delivery!

You got that backstabbing slob Lead Elderberry in your corner? That don't

mean nothing! Bogans! You're gonna need more than what you got. We'll

beat your asses before and we'll beat 'em again. Line 'em up! We're ready!

LINE THEM UP! We're the champs! Start! Your! Engines!

 

 

Dan DaLay, Robin DaLay, Phillipe LaGrenier & Hugh Ancrie

DALAY & SON & EXPRESS DELIVERY

WOOLABONGA BIKERS

Greaser, Torque, Rusty Mills & Donovan Boon

 

Davis Ditterich "The tag team division has really heated up in 2019."

 

The Gear-Heads open up their toolbox of hammers, wrenches and drills to all challengers, until Robin surprises everyone with an Eric Tyler-esque finger-trap to isolate Torque. He still needs his Pa to teach him how to bully the speedy cruiserweight around the ring, but their lessons are interupted by Express Delivery's postings and stamps. The two villainous teams argue, allowing Torque to burn rubber to his corner! Here come the Bogans, using blind tag switcheroos and Kangeroo-Fu to take everyone down under! Crikey! Strewth! All hell breaks loose! Spinning Wheel Kick! Track Package (Powerful Chop To Back)! Grease Spot (High Knee)! BACKFIST!

 

Torque springboards in, and Robin doesn't try to catch him this time. He ducks. Torque crashes and burns! Spinning Backfist! Torque is out cold, but LaGrenier posts Robin and steals the cover for himself. 1... 2... 3!

 

EXPRESS DELIVERY WIN (11:14)

 

Ancrie & LaGrenier flee celebrating as Robin looks confused and Dan DaLay looks furious.

 

 

IN-RING

 

 

JACK DECOLT

I know I'm supposed to be mad right now, but all I see

whenever I close my eyes is the image of my fist smashing

into Adrian Garcia's jaw and it's just... Cathartic. You know

how you can build something up in your mind to the point

where it can't possibly live up to expectations? That's not

what happened here.

 

 

ALEX DECOLT

What's wrong with you? Why aren't you mad? Jack Bruce

waltzed into WrestleFestival and made fools of CGC. He beat

Dan DaLay and he beat you and he danced while doing it.

People are laughing at us! Calling us second rate!

 

JACK DECOLT

There's no shame is losing to the best, and it's not as though

you'd have done any better with 24 hours notice.

 

ALEX DECOLT

I've had a game plan for beating Jack Bruce since 2005! And if

you accepted the match when it was first presented you'd have

had plenty of time. What happened to you, Jack? You used to

take on every challenge. Rise to every occassion. Every loss was

like a dagger to your heart that could only be fixed with burning

rage and furious anger!

 

JACK DECOLT

What do I have to be angry about, Alex? Twenty three years of

fist-flying-face-punching and what more could I possibly achieve?

Seven-time World Champion. Five-time Tag Team Champion. Last

Man Standing Rumbles! Ultimate Showdown Series! Random Partner

Tag Tournaments! I've won every major match at every major show

in CGC history and last year I won every single one of them in

succession. I could retire tomorrow and be proud of everything

I've done. Jack Bruce beat me, and sure, even a few years ago I

would have blown a fuse. Now-

 

ALEX DECOLT

What? You're going to roll over and take it? You're the Last DeColt

Standing, Jack. Our legacy lives with you.

 

JACK DECOLT

And it dies with me too, Alex. Ricky left. You retired. There's no next

generation of DeColts coming after us. We're it. I'm it. When my body

finally decides it can't do this any more, CGC needs to be in a better

state than how we found it, and my temper tantrums have caused

as much harm as good.

 

 

/w Faith SAYEED ALI VS ZEUS MAXMILLION

Davis Ditterich "Blockbuster only managed to beat Zeus at WrestleFestival because he had his cronies interfere. The Bronzed God gets his well-deserved rematch at 'Chaos in the Cage'."

 

Zeus controls things early with Greco-Roman grappling. The proud New Yorker runs his mouth, but doesn't throw Zeus of his game. Faith tries to get his attention, but she's ignored. Zeus doesn't even respond to the crowd. Is he focused, or...? Ali tests his theory, asking Zeus questions and having Faith cry out for help behind the Bronzed God's back. No reaction.

 

Davis Ditterich "Wait a second... Can Zeus not hear? Did Blockbuster's speakers do more damage than we thought?"

 

Ali uses Zeus' apparent deafness to his advantage to take the fight to the streets, using the environment to deal massive damage and hiding in the crowd whenever Zeus battles back. Showcasing his godlike resilience, Zeus makes it back to the ring and fights back with left hands and headbutts and a huuuuge backbody drop! Panicking, Ali throws Faith in harm's way, and while Zeus is able to catch the poor girl he can't hear Ali sneaking up behind him. East Coast Forearm! GBH Driver (Implant DDT)! 1... 2... 3!

0.85 on Maple Leaf Sports (up from 0.84)

 

 

Back to regular scheduled programming for a while. WrestleFestival was a slog for me. Glad to have a nice long run of television episodes before the next PPV. 'Chaos In The Cage' has a 6-week build by default, but I've moved it back a week in my continued quest to space things out.

 

I gotta say, I expected more from that main event. Sayeed is highly touted and Zeus is a strong babyface. It was a storyline match, while could have hurt it, and Ali hasn't been pushed all that well. The tag teams overachieved once again. Dan DaLay & Hugh Ancrie were the stars, with young Robin just doing his best to keep up. Between DaLay's popularity, the Bogan's experience together, and everyone's momentum, they could headline TVs right now.

 

In outside CGC news, Edd Stone's contract has come up and... I have zero chance of getting him. Seven different companies want to lock him down. TCW, WLW, BHOTWG, SWF, PGHW, USPW and NOTBPW. Not bad for a TCW upper-midcarder who holds the tag titles with... Bart Biggins??? I love Edd and would always find a place for him, although I do wonder how I'd write him now. I'm not in my 20's any more.

 

 

BOOKING THOUGHTS

Jack DeColt

 

One of the most important aspects to a CGC is getting the DeColts right, and I have far from nailed it.

 

2010/2013 Jack DeColt was a very easy character for me to write. He's the angry DeColt, the Raphael. He's incredibly ambitious with a fear of looking inferior (the shortest DeColt growing up at 'only' 6'0 tall, even Ricky outgrew him) and absolutely devoted to his family and friends. That rage made it easy for heels to poke at his triggers for mayhem to ensue. And Hotstuff Marie was the main trigger. The loving wife to calm down the Wild Man. A lot of negative traits but all of the DeColts have those. As a team they balance out.

 

Then 2016 happened and Marie left... and that became trickier for me. The "if this was real" part of my brain would book Jack as an uncontrollable lunatic/depressive. The "if Alex was really booking" part thinks it's unlikely they'd show that weakness on TV. Even so, it gives options.

 

2019 is another animal. Practically all of Jack's triggers are gone. Ricky left. Donte left. Alex retired so he can't be used in the same way. I couldn't buy that Jack would still be depressed three years later, I doubly couldn't buy that Alex would book his top babyface so negatively, and at 41 I figured Jack would have had to get over the rage thing. It's not healthy. Above all, he needs to be kept away from Blockbuster for a while (Buster needs to look strong) so his ambition has to be pushed aside. Which leaves 2015-era John Cena. Which is fairly apt, seeing as that's how I always pictured Jack, physique wise.

 

I liked the Adrian Garcia thing, even if it leaned more on Adrian past misdeeds to get him heat rather than anything new. Still, it produced some of my favourite episodes. Blackmail with Express Delivery, and the Return of Poison. I kind of wish the story had gone on longer. Maybe even a year, with it fading in and out as needed, with the Poison arc going a month and the blackmail going a while and Adrian joining a training camp. In listening to Jim Cornette's podcast I've been fascinated by manager matches, and I figured Adrian could pull one off. It went incredibly well for what it was. Garcia has zero stamina but does have psychology and popularity. And Jack could get a 'C' with a broom.

 

I've got something for Jack going forwards, and I think I need to put aside the "what Alex would book" side of my brain, because he isn't booking, and if I'm not writing the most fun/interesting version of what I want to do, why am I bothering at all? I'm gonna address age and legacy and the idea that the DeColt's CGC are going to come to an end. Maybe not in this diary (Jack could have years left, and TEW2020 is my end point) but one day. Maybe CGC won't even be around in the next game, although I thought that about TEW2016 too.

I like the Gear Heads more but I just feel like Express Delivery are going to win the belts it won't be on Free TV.

Honestly, no idea what's going to happen, I just prefer the face side

 

The Great Trickerton

 

Feel like you are building the magician up for something

 

Penfold Perdition

 

Drake is an actual jobber in my opinion, he's got the ability to get over via promo time so he'll lose and Perdition can get a nice win

<em>Not sure if losing Ian should be seen as Jenny´s group becoming jobbers or if they are going to rebounce on that. Result of this match tells a bit were you plan to go as this could be a decent bounce back win for Penfold. On other hand, while Young haven´t been high on pecking order, he have had some decent character work on his own so I could see him getting a win here as well. Overall, I feel this is pretty close but I go with Young mainly basing my pick on the fact that Pin Point Plus just lost a member and feeling that might affect negatively on the fortunes of rest of their group.</em></p>

Sunday Week 2 April 2019

Late Evening on Maple Leaf Sports

Laval, Quebec

4,100 in attendance

 

Davis Ditterich "Welcome everybody to a night of two epic tag team matches. First, the CGC Tag Team Titles are on the line as Express Delivery, fresh off of an impressive run of victories, take on champions The Gear-Heads. And-"

Jack DeColt "And then in our main event Zeus Maxmillion and Bobby Thomas team up to take on the devious self-proclaimed "Champion Bros". Zeus gets a rematch against Blockbuster at 'Chaos in the Cage', but judging by his performance last week all may not be well on Mount Olympus."

Davis Ditterich "Couldn't have put it better myself. I'm surprised to see you out here, Jack. Are you sure you're feeling okay?"

Jack DeColt "Right as rain, Davis. You just looked lonely, ever since I beat up your broadcast partner anyhow. Check it out, Bobby Thomas is in the ring."

 

 

IN-RING

 

 

BOBBY THOMAS

Unfortunately the rumors about Zeus Maxmillion are true. Having his head

pressed against Blockbuster's ridiculous speaker system at WrestleFestival

caused major damage to his hearing, leaving him deaf. Hopefully only

temporarily, but maybe not. Either way, the Bronzed God has not given

up on his Labours. He will take on Blockbuster once again at 'Chaos in

the Cage' and this time there will be no interference from the Champion's

goons. I still believe in Zeus and tonight I'm proud to fight at his side and-

 

 

BLOCKBUSTER

Zeus Maxmillion... is deaf. I'm just going to stand here and enjoy that

for a moment. Not only could your so-called saviour not handle me in

the ring at WrestleFestival, but he couldn't even handle a little music.

What a joke! So much for the completing his Labours'! So much for the

'power of friendship'! So much for the 'god'! Once again I proved that

I am the most metal champion in CGC history and my reign will never

be broken. Not by Zeus! Not by Alex DeColt's broken down veterans!!

Not by nobody!!! If Zeus wants another shot at 'Chaos in the Cage' that's

on him. Everything I do to him in that steel cage, it ain't gonna be my

fault. I'm happy to beat the ass of any man dumb enough to get in

the ring with me. Even a disabled.

 

 

SAYEED ALI

You shouldn't be worrying about Zeus Maxmillion, you should be

worrying about me. I'm the baddest man in CGC... From the greatest

city in the world! New York City! The way I see it, I beat Zeus last week,

so I should be next in line for a title shot.

 

BLOCKBUSTER

You know something, Sayeed, I like your style. And I liked watching

you put the hurt on Zeus last week. I got a tag match later, and if I'm

to make an example out of the crippled God and Sidekick Bob I need

the best of the best. How would you like to be my partner?

 

SKIP BEAU

Hey, wait a minute. I'm supposed to be-

 

FAITH

Don't do it, Sayeed. You should be taking this guy's title. Not teaming

with him.

 

SAYEED ALI

Don't tell me what to do, woman! The way I see it, until Alex DeColt sees

sense and gives me a title shot, Blockbuster ain't my enemy. But Zeus?

And Bobby? And anyone else trying to get in front of me? They need

to be beaten down. You got yourself a partner.

 

Delighted, Blockbuster's heavy metal music blasts out of his custom-built soundstage. Bobby and Skip and Faith and everyone in the first twenty rows cover their ears as it gets louder and louder and LOUDER and LOUDER and...

 

 

MALIK CASH VS THE GREAT TRICKERION

Jack DeColt "I love magicians. Whenever I'm in Vegas I always make sure to take in a show or two. How do they do it?"

 

The Great Trickerion requires a volunteer from the back to help him perform his latest illusion; the Toad Transformation. Malik Cash is skeptical, but his hurried high-flying backfires when he springboards into an atomic drop and punch to the throat. He hops! He croaks! Ta-Da! A toad! The Great Trickerion takes a bow, hits a belly-to-belly suplex and the Glittering Magician to pull victory out of his hat.

 

THE GREAT TRICKERION (4:03)

 

 

THE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

with your host; "The Dread Captain" Hugh DeArrrske

 

 

A stage has been erected in amongst the crowd, set up to look like the Captain's quarters of an olde timey pirate ship. Creaking wooden planks and ornate maps and stolen doubloons and a squarking pirate. The whole thing is even on hydraulics to make it sway as though sailing on the seven seas. HUGH DeARRRSKE sits in the Captain's chair. He tries to give a frilly dress to his guest tonight; JENNY PLAYMATE, but she's distracted trying to track a package on her phone.

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

Yarrrr! Welcome to me Cap'n's Quarters! Me guest tonight be

the loveliest lass this side of Gibraltarrr; Jenny Playmate. Jenny,

at WrestleFestival the villainous scallywags of the merchant ship

Express Delivery put yer matey Ian Identity in a box and sent him

off to Brazil. Where be he right now?

 

JENNY PLAYMATE

I have no idea! This stupid tracking number LaGrenier gave me

hasn't moved in days! He could be in the tracking depot, or on the

ocean, or could be waiting in Brazil for all I know. I really hope The

Gear-Heads beat their asses tonight.

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

And what do ye say to accusations that ye be... and I'm quoting here...

"a scurvy succubus of the sea luring talented young wrestlers to their

doom with your siren song"

 

JENNY PLAYMATE

What? Who? Who's saying that?

 

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

Avast! We're being boarded!

 

DRAKE YOUNG

Hold on a second, pirate! I don't appreciate how you're talking to

this lovely woman. How dare your first question to her be about a man?

If you ask me, she's better off without Ian Identity. I saw how he

treated Jenny; always making her book his hotels and negotiate his

contracts and schedule his gym sessions. Women don't have to be

slaves to stereotypical gender roles. That's exactly what straight white

cisgendered scum like Ian Identity want. He deserved to be stuffed

in a box! I hope he never comes back.

 

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

Arrrr! The kraken!

 

DRAKE YOUNG

What do you want, Penfold? Come to force Jenny to do your laundry

with your disgusting male gaze.

 

JENNY PLAYMATE

No. You insulted his friend. He's about to kick your ass.

 

 

DRAKE YOUNG VS PENFOLD PERDITION /w Jenny Playmate

Jack DeColt "Jenny Playmate is a talented manager who has helped many a young talent thrive. She shouldn't be taken lightly, nor does she needed to be protected by the likes of Drake."

 

Penfold bounces the self-proclaimed feminist around the ring with belly butts until Drake rakes the eyes and punishes him for his microaggresions. More than just a pretty face, Jenny cheerleads for her client, and Penfold honours his friend with some Intense Forearms... but makes himself sad remembering what happened to Ian. Midnight DDT (Knee Plant DDT)! 1... 2... 3!

 

DRAKE YOUNG WINS (5:04)

 

 

 

GREASER

Back in my day, the postman was an honourable profession! You knew

their face! Their name! And they didn't bother us on Sundays! Now

here you are, Express Delivery.... SUNDAY NIGHT! And you're looking

for a parcel. Our tag team titles! No, a good postie wouldn't be looking

to collect but you two, you're a disgrace to your profession. You're like

one of those new delivery guys you see, stealing packages from people's

doorsteps.... NOT OUR DOORSTEP! We've seen you stealing victories

week after week but that ends tonight! You're not stealing these!

Express Delivery! Start! Your! Engines!

 

 

CGC WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH

 

/w Dice Elderberry

Phillipe LaGrenier & Hugh Ancrie

EXPRESS DELIVERY

THE GEAR-HEADS ©

Greaser & Torque

 

Jack DeColt "A number of CGC tag team's have really stepped up their game in the past few months. If there was another DeColt around I'd be tempted to get stuck in."

 

The Gear-Heads go to work taking their opponents apart, but every time they get the upper hand Dice Elderberry gets involved. Complaints are answered with belches and farts. Ancrie manages to post Torque and deliver him to suplex city, while LaGrenier covers him with stamps. Torque's in big trouble, but the threat of having his face shoved into Dice's armpit motivates him to burn rubber to his corner! Greaser unloads his toolbox of hammers, wrenches and drills. LaGrenier saves his partner from Hoggs Can Fly (Vader Bomb) but Torque takes them both out with a High Cross!

 

Ancrie holds his face, screaming, and while the referee turns to check on him Dice Elderberry tries to squash Torque... but the slimline speedster scurries away and Greaser KO's his former partner with the Grease Spot (High Knee)! Track Package (Powerful Chop to Back) fells Greaser! Pedal To The Metal (Curb Stomp) takes out LaGrenier! Small Package from Ancrie! 1... 2... 3!

 

NEW CHAMPIONS: EXPRESS DELIVERY (14:41)

 

Jack DeColt "Wow! The Gear-Heads reign comes to an end. No small assist from Dice Elderberry, but the Express are becoming masters of knocking on your door when you least expect it. Right place. Right time. New champions!"

this is? What's up? Are you sad because your No.1 Contender is

deaf and you don't know if you need to replace him?

 

Alex DeColt is silent.

 

SKIP BEAU

Is it because your brother's having a mid-life crisis after losing to

Jack Bruce and is hiding on commentary?

 

Alex DeColt glares.

 

SKIP BEAU

Is it because you two are the last DeColts left and after he retires

everyone's going to forget about your family?

 

ALEX DECOLT

What do you want, Skip?

 

SKIP BEAU

I want to be Blockbuster's partner again! Come on, that was the

advertised match. It should be me, not that phony suck up Sayeed Ali.

It's not fair.

 

ALEX DECOLT

Life isn't fair sometimes. Go home, Skip.

 

 

6 WEEKS AWAY

Featuring

Steel Cage Match for the CGC World Title: Zeus Maxmillion vs Blockbuster ©

... and the Ultimate Showdown Series Begins

 

 

BLOCKBUSTER & SAYEED ALI

ZEUS MAXMILLION & BOBBY THOMAS

 

Jack DeColt "Zeus Maxmillion had Blockbuster beat before the Champion's cronies got involved. Hopefully this hearing damage isn't as bad as it seems. I'd love to see Zeus complete his labours at 'Chaos in the Cage'."

 

Zeus smites the World Champion with left hands and headbutts but can't hear Sayeed sneaking up behind him and gets nailed with an East Coast Forearm! Blockbuster delights in thrashing, shredding and beating the disabled God like a drum... but is careful not to turn his back on Ali, who lustily eyes the CGC World Title. Zeus may be deaf, but he isn't dumb. He shove Ali into Blockbuster, and takes advantage of the resulting argument to make the tag!

 

Bobby uses hard work, persistence, and a whole heap of SUPER KICKS to take the larger men down. Blockbuster tries to block one but takes it right on the elbow... and Bobby zeroes in on the limb, wrenching and twisting and taking the Champion down in a Cross Armbreaker! Blockbuster screams in pain... but he's too big and strong, hoisting Bobby up in the air and breaking him with a BusterBomb (Powerbomb to Turnbuckles)! Zeus comes to the rescue, smiting Blockbuster with the Thunder Bolt (Sit Out Bomb) and locking in the Olympian Clutch (Camel Clutch)... but once again can't hear Ali sneaking up behind him. GBH Driver (Implant DDT)! 1... 2... 3!

 

BLOCKBUSTER & SAYEED ALI WIN (15:41)

 

 

Blockbuster isn't done. The CGC World Champion orders DIABLO DEVILLE & SKIP BEAU come down to the ring and continue the assault on Zeus and Bobby.

 

 

PENFOLD PERDITION runs down to help the veterans, but is quickly overwhelmed.

 

Blockbuster rips the pad off the turnbuckle, exposing the steel, before hurling Zeus towards it with a BusterBomb- but Bobby jumps in the way, protecting Zeus from the steel but getting crushed against the turnbuckle himself.

 

Faith pleads for Sayeed to help them, but he stands there and watches, holding her by the wrists so she can't get involved.

 

With Bobby down and out, Blockbuster prepares to give Zeus another BusterBomb.

 

Jack DeColt "Damn it. Why does it always need to be me?"

 

 

JACK DECOLT hits the ring, running wild on Skip with right hands and turning Diablo inside out with a shoulder tackle! Blockbuster makes a quick getaway, while Sayeed throws Faith at the Last DeColt Standing so that he can make his escape.

 

Davis Ditterich "Jack DeColt thought he had the night off sitting on commentary, but he couldn't let this injustice stand! He may not be much of a Wild Man any more, but he's saved the day tonight."

FINAL RATING . . . C+

0.80 on Maple Leaf Sports (down from 0.85)

 

 

Not much to be said about this show. I considered putting the tag titles on last, but I wanted to go off the air with the angle. Ratings down a little bit, but I can't say I'm too surprised. The main event was fine, but there wasn't that big electric A-rated angle to boost things up.

 

I'm enjoying the Cap'n's Quarters segments. Someone asked in the CGC thread months ago if there was a canon Talk Show segment for the promotion, and I came up with a good half-dozen ideas based around various workers. Drake seems like the obvious choice for hosting, given his skills... but I've loved writing DeArrrske every time I have room to give him a line or two. Pirate talk makes things a lot less dry than they could be.

 

Edd Stone went with BHOTWG, which is an interesting move for him.

 

Shane Nelson has been talking smack about Diablo DeVille to the press. Presumably not happy he had to put over the ancient demon prince at WrestleFestival.

 

Gear Heads

 

I like the Gear Heads more but I just feel like Express Delivery are going to win the belts it won't be on Free TV.

 

CGC Tag Team Title Match: Express Delivery vs The Gear Heads

I could genuinely go either way on this, but I kind of feel like the title change should happen on PPV. But I've been wrong before.

 

CGC Tag Team Title Match: Express Delivery vs The Gear Heads

So do we see a title change on regular TV. I could see this happening but I’m going to be on the safe side

 

I believe that weekly television is very important and a place where important results happen. I used to believe that the best should be saved for PPV, but in a world where WWE makes most of its money with its TV deals and PPV is just chugging along? In a world where AEW say 4 PPVs a year is enough? Times have changed. Every title change I've had so far has been on TV. Real matches happen with real results.

 

What I do need to do is build to these matches a little more. Maybe pull one of my 'Chaos in the Cage' planned matches and save it for a TV main event instead, with the exact same build and hype.

 

Skip Beau & Blockbuster vs Zeus Maxmillion & Bobby Thomas

After losing to Ali in last show, I think Zeus needs the win here if he wants to be creditable challenger for Blockbuster.

 

Does another big loss for Zeus put his title shot in jeopardy? We'll find out next week.

 

 

BOOKING THEORY

 

Express Delivery are the new tag team champions, and that is absolutely not what I had planned in the beginning. They were a mismatched team with mismatched pictures and a less-than-inspiring name, so they were originally going to be glorified job guys... but I just keep having ideas that make them fun to write. Taking the team name absolutely literally opened up a world of puns (stamps, posting) moves (small package, package piledriver) and promos (more puns really). The episode where they blackmailed Jack is one of my favourites, and I loved the Going Postal gimmick match. I'm not crazy about my LaGrenier alt pic, but it sure help me imagine them as a real team.

 

Of all my tag teams, Ancrie and LaGrenier seem the most interchangeable, but I do write their matches with their individual strengths in mind. Ancrie is smaller and the better worker, so he'll take the babyface's power moves and perform the more complex spots. If someone needs to feed in at the exact right time for a game changing move of cutoff, that's Ancrie. LaGrenier on the other hand, while no slouch himself, is more protected. He's a DeColt Trainee with an amazing physique who could be a future World Champion. So he scores the victories and does the impressive bits. Both can work and both can talk so it's not quite Rollins/Reigns in early Shield, but it's the same idea. LaGrenier also has a French accent, because I don't think Eddie Chandler's coming back.

 

I like cause/effect booking. So after their original losses (jobbing out to DaLays early was a mistake and shows their original position in my head) giving them a big 'customer service specialist' as backup felt like a very necessary thing for them to do, as well as a reason for them to move up the card. Originally I had a new character lined up for the role, but I couldn't get the picture right and Dice was just too perfect for a WrestleFestival encounter with Pin Point. I hesitate to call them a stable, as I'm not sure how long the partnership will last. In fact, I'm not sure how long Express Delivery will last. I'm doing my present them as a real team, but they are as makeshift as they come, and both have the potential to be big singles stars.

 

For now, they're in a really cool position with an opportunity to get themselves over. Their momentum has swung back to positive. Their team experience is building (E+). They have a bunch of teams to work programs with. The Bogans match at WF2 was main event worthy already, and this one tonight could have headlined with no difference to the final rating.

 

Not that they only won for themselves. I'm loving my tag division as a four-horse race, and the Gear-Heads were hitting that point of being too dominant. I either had to change the game or build new challengers. Now Greaser can bring a slightly different flavor to his increasingly crazy promos.

 

 

Next Sunday on Title Bout Wrestling...

 

CGC Canadian Title; Jack DeColt vs Skip Beau

DaLay & Sons vs Woolabonga Bogans

Dice Elderberry vs Greaser

Drake Young vs Mario DaSilva

Captain's Quarters with Guest Alex DeColt... but who will interrupt?

[DAVEFAN95]

Jack Decolt

 

Jack wins but no title change prob interference or dq of some kind

 

Woolabonga Bogans

 

Guess here, probably puts the Bogans next in line as DaLay's are heel like the champs

 

Dice Elderberry

 

The gimmick, the way this is shaping up, the fact Greaser and Dice have history, I see this as a potential program freeing up Torque to do something else solo for awhile

 

Mario DaSilva

 

Drake be jobbing.

 

When I saw that Skip and Alex promo I knew something was up and immediately thought somebody was returning, but who? Well where else to discuss it other than here so let's go through it. I decided that it was an old enemy of Alex' so here's who I came up with and why I decided it wasn't them before giving you who I think it is.

 

1. Adrian Garcia

 

Came to mind given Jack's role on the show, though an adversary of Alex' and fits the bill that would make life unfair for Alex, Garcia just got booted to the ends of the Earth by Jack so no go here.

 

2. Eddie Chandler

 

I saw that comment in the Express Delivery discussion and thought that it sounded very red herring-ish of you to mention Chandler now given what just happened. Chandler was a big enemy of all the DeColts so he fits the bill. That being said LaGrenier's accent, like you mentioned, seems to actually be a reason for Eddie not to return seems that was one of his main tropes and now someone else has it.

 

3. Ricky DeColt

 

Pretty obvious one, but ruled out straight away, Alex would love to see Ricky, so that reaction is not what I would expected so not Ricky

 

4. Gargantuan

 

With his character in your 2013 diary being that he had DeColt DNA, I could see Garg returning to destroy the DeColts and run the place like hee should have in the first place. That being said, with the injury, him being flabby and probably a shell of himself or retired because of the injury, I couldn't say it'll be him.

 

5. Sammy Bach

 

Okay, a blatent reference to your 2013 CGC diary again. Given what Sammy did to the DeColts and Alex in particular in the Ultimate showdown series (which I am very interested in reading in this diary given the lack of top stars) this would be an excellent opportunity to bring Bach back in that your veteran readers would understand immediately why Alex was so worried. However, there's one issue, that Sammy Bach story never took place in the Canon CV and I have to rule him out for that. However, whose to say The Great Trickerion didn't use a crystal ball to show Alex an alternative time line of what Sammy Bach did to him and his family, I could believe it.

 

However, the man I think it is is

 

Steve DeColt

 

Who else would make Alex say life isn't fair like he did. I mean we all know the history, I'm sure even the most casual of CGC fans in the CVerse know the story, so this is my pick.

[Zergon]

CGC Canadian Title; Jack DeColt vs Skip Beau

Jack won´t lose here but the main question is will he get the belt? I guess I could see it actually happening if you want to promote Canadian belt and your midcard guys by having them feud with Jack and defending this belt would certainly be a reason to keep him off from Blockbuster. All that said, I´d still assume this would be DQ or count out win but you certainly have surprised me often enough so far that I´m not entirely sure which way any given match is going to go.

 

DaLay & Sons vs Woolabonga Bogans

Reinforcing my earlier point of me double guessing everything right now, normally I would pick DaLay without thinking twice.. but, not only have Bogans already beaten them once, you just switched the tag belts for heel team so face team getting a win here seems more likely direction.

 

Dice Elderberry vs Greaser

Gear-heads just lost the belts and will lose the eventual rematch as well but I feel that they can get a win here in order to bounce back from the title loss. Also interesting to see if this leads to feud between these two.

 

Drake Young vs Mario DaSilva

I might be pulling the trigger too fast here but perhaps Drake´s win in last month is sign for small push for him? Well, either that or you move forward with the feud between Drake and Jenny that you said you planned but didn´t have time to do earlier. Either way, thinking Drake gets a win here since it looks like Jenny´s team need to get their act together first after losing Ian.

 

Captain's Quarters with Guest Alex DeColt... but who will interrupt?

Sayeed Ali seems to be making lot of noise about himself lately so I go with him interfering Alex and demanding a title shot.

[misterioso]

CGC Canadian Title: Jack DeColt vs Skip Beau

I think Jack both wins the match and the title belt here. I also think this starts cementing a permanent falling out between Skip and Blockbuster, as I don't see Blockbuster having much use for Skip if he doesn't have the title belt.

 

DaLay & Sons vs Woolabonga Bogans

Bit of a guess, but I think the DaLays could use a win here to make the tag division even more interesting.

Drake Young vs Mario DaSilva

Sunday Week 3 April 2019

Late Evening on Maple Leaf Sports

Red Deer, Alberta

3,500 in attendance

 

Davis Ditterich "Last week, Zeus Maxmillion and Bobby Thomas suffered a brutal attack at the hands of CGC Champion Blockbuster and his cronies. The victims are in hospital. Three of the perpertrators have been sent home. We're still awaiting word from Alex DeColt regarding the CGC World Title match at 'Chaos in the Cage' but tonight Skip Beau will face the music, courtesy of the Last DeColt Standing; Jack DeColt"

 

 

 

JACK DECOLT

There comes a time in every man's life when he looks back at the

mistakes he's made along the way and tries to set them right. Well

I don't to wait until I'm too old and frail to do anything about it, I

want to fix things now. Skip Beau! You were one of the most promising

students I ever trained, but somewhere along the line you have lost

your way. You've become a liar and a cheater and a suck up to liars

and cheaters, and you could be so much more.

 

 

SKIP BEAU

You call what you did to me training? Making me run laps until I

threw up? Waking me up at the crack of 9am? Making me eat

vegetables? You weren't a trainer, you were a monster, and

now you're at it again sticking your nose in Blockbuster's business.

He is the greatest Rest-of-the-World champion in CGC history AND

MY BEST FRIEND and no one is going to end the Champion Bros' reign.

Not you! Not Zeus! Not that fake friend Sayeed Ali!

 

JACK DECOLT

I hate to say this, but I don't think Blockbuster cares about you the

same way you care about him, Skip. You need to be better than this.

If not for yourself then for the belt you're wearing around your waist.

I see how proud you are to be Canadian Champion, but if you don't

change your ways, well, someone's going to have to take it from you.

 

SKIP BEAU

Maybe a year ago that would have frightened me, Jack, but we all

know you're not the DeColt you used to be. You lost to Jack Bruce. You

spent three months chasing a commentator. You grew that moustache!

You're a walking mid-life crisis and I'm not going to let you interfere

in my bestie's business!

 

JACK DECOLT

I've still got plenty of gas left in the tank, buckaroo. You know, I've never

been Canadian Champion before. I hope it fits.

 

 

DRAKE YOUNG VS MARIO DaSILVA /w Jenny Playmate

Davis Ditterich "Last week Drake Young insulted Ian Identity. Penfold Perdition couldn't get revenge, so now it's Mario's turn."

 

Claiming to be defending Jenny Playmate's honour, Young punishes Mario for a series of made-up microaggressions, all while claiming to be a hero. Even though Mario's fighting fairly and he's cheating like a madman. Jenny isn't impressed. More than just a pretty face she fires up the crowd! Mario turns the self-proclaimed feminist's limbs into his latest masterpiece, but Drake flees outside and hides behind Jenny, almost causing a collision between Mario and his manager. Drake uses the distraction hit the the Midnight DDT (Knee Plant DDT) on the floor, and rolls Mario inside for the 1... 2... 3!

 

DRAKE YOUNG WINS (6:18)

 

 

 

RUSTY MILLS

G'Day, CGC. Looks like those Express Delivery mongrels just stepped

up their tag team game, but this ain't our first dooleroo out of the

billabong. Plenty of tricks still up the Bogan's sleeve-eroonies. See,

Don-O here is already one of Australia's foremost martial arts experts,

and a master of Kangeroo-Fu, but recently he's been studying the

fighting style of Australia's most deadly carnviores; the Drop-Bear.

 

DONOVAN BOON is sitting on top of a filing cabinet. Legs crossed. Eyes crossed. Deep in meditation.

 

RUSTY MILLS

Those carnivorous koalas have been catching tourists unawares for

years, and that's just the edge we need to get some gold to hold up

our daks. How ya feeling, Don-O? You starting craving the taste of

tourist flesh yet?

 

DONOVAN BOON snores.

 

RUSTY MILLS

Atta boy, Don-O! You're doing it!

 

 

 

DAN DALAY

When my boy said he wanted to enter CGC and follow in my

footsteps I promised him one simple thing; that he would be

the youngest tag team champion in CGC history. He trained with

Eric Tyler. He's got the tools. Then those two delivery dorks swoop

in and steal his wins. Steal his belts! Well that ain't gonna stop

us. We're gonna rip through these aussie scumbags tonight, and

then I'm gonna fulfill my promise to my boy.

 

ROBIN DALAY

Yeah!

 

 

Dan DaLay & Robin DaLay

DALAY & SON

WOOLABONGA BOGANS

Rusty Mills & Donovan Boon

 

Davis Ditterich "We may have crowned new tag team champions last week, but neither of these duos are willing to give up the quest for the belts."

 

Robin uses the new tricks he's learned from Eric Tyler's tutelage to avoid Boon's Kangaroo-Fu, but still needs his Pa's instructions to bully the smaller man around the ring. A blind tag switcheroo allows Mills to take the Father & Son pairing down under and unleash some trademark quick tags and ultra-smooth double teams, but Robin ducks the Flying Spinning Wheel Kick allowing his Dad to catch Boon and hit the DaLay Down (Belly to Belly Piledriver)! 1. 2. 3.

 

DALAY & SON WIN (9:44)

 

 

IN-RING

 

 

GREASER

Express Delivery! You're nothin' but a couple of no-good cheaters!

Your cheating asses stole our belts, so come out here so I can beat

you both to death!

 

 

DIRTY DICE ELDERBERRY

Sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with what Express Delivery did

to you last week. As their official customer service expert, I'll

be happy to listen to all of your whining, crying and belly-aching.

Warning, this may be followed by me shoving my foot so far up

your ass I'll knock your teeth out.

 

GREASER

Come down here and try it, you low down son of a bitch! I can't

believe I used to call you brother! All those years we spent fighting

side by side and you do that??? You screw me??? For what???

So you can be Express Delivery's lapdog?

 

DIRTY DICE ELDERBERRY

Don't hate me because I've moved on, Hogg! Express Delivery are

gonna be big. They're gonna be the Amazon of tag teams. Undeniable!

Unstoppable! All rich. All powerful. Knocking on everyone's doors

whether you like it or not.

 

GREASER

Bring them on. I want our belts back!

 

DIRTY DICE ELDERBERRY

You gotta go through me first!

 

DICE ELDERBERRY VS GREASER

Davis Ditterich "Greaser may have gotten the bikes in the divorce, but Dice Elderberry does the dirty, courtesy of the new tag team champions."

 

Two big bad asses throw heavy hands at each other, until Greaser gets overpowered in both size and stench. Dirty Dice tries to shove his former friend's face into his armpit, but Greaser escapes by emptying his toolbox of hammers, wrenches and drills. Grease Spot (High Knee)! Hoggs Can Fly (Vader Bomb)! 1... 2... 3!

 

GREASER WINS (7:41)

 

 

THE CAPTAIN'S QUARTERS

with your host; "The Dread Captain" Hugh DeArrrske

 

 

A stage has been erected in amongst the crowd, set up to look like the Captain's quarters of an olde timey pirate ship. Creaking wooden planks and ornate maps and stolen doubloons and a squarking pirate. The whole thing is even on hydraulics to make it sway as though sailing on the seven seas. HUGH DeARRRSKE sits in the Captain's chair, alongside ALEX DECOLT.

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

Ahoy me hearties! Me guest this week be CGC Matchmakarrr Alex DeColt.

Alex, have ye made a decsion about Zeus Maxmillion yet? Ye named him

No.1 Contendarrr, but since losing his hearing he be losing twice to Sayeed Ali.

Do ye still think he has what it takes to find the booty at 'Chaos in the Cage'?

 

ALEX DECOLT

Of course he does. Zeus Maxmillion had Blockbuster beat at WrestleFestival,

and the only reason Blockbuster won is because he cheated. I don't

reward cheaters. I punish cheaters. And now I can't punish them with

my fists I punish them by making them confront their worst nightmares,

and for Blockbuster that's putting him in a steel cage where his cronies

can't interfere, against a man who has absolutely proved he has what it

takes to beat him. Yes, Zeus is injured, but overcoming adversity is what

heroes do. I believe in Zeus like no other.

 

HUGH DeARRRSKE

Yarrr, and are ye just saying that because Jack be havin' a mid-life-

 

 

SAYEED ALI

This is ridiculous. I beat Zeus Maxmillion! Twice! I should be

replacing him at 'Chaos in the Cage'. You can't seriously think he

stands a choice of becoming champion, do you? He's deaf. He's

broken. Time to put him on the scrap heap and move on to a real

challenger! A certified bad ass from New! York! City! The greatest

city in the world!

 

ALEX DECOLT

I'm not counting Zeus out and neither should you, sunshine. You

haven't impressed me yet, but I know how you can. Three words!

Ultimate. Showdown. Series. The most grueling competition on the

CGC calender. Eight men. Eight weeks of brutal combat. Only the

best can enter, and only the best of the best can come out on top.

It all starts in 5 weeks, and I need to get the participants all lined up.

How'd you like to be No.1.?

 

FAITH

Do it, baby! The winner gets three wishes. You can use those to-

 

SAYEED ALI

Shut up, woman. I know what I can use them for! I'm in, old man.

Just don't come crying to me when Zeus crashes and burns like the

pathetic cripple he is.

Tonight Jack DeColt teaches Skip Beau a lesson, and next week it's

my turn to do the same to Diablo DeVille. For some, fighting an

immortal demon summoned from a crossroads and imprisoned in

a championship belt would be considered strange. For me; it's just

another Sunday. Monsters are a dime a dozen, but good men with

strong hearts are the backbone of this company. I believe in Zeus

Maxmillion. Even with his injury I believe that he can end

Blockbuster's reign at 'Chaos in the Cage'. I'm here to do my part.

Next week I banish a demon.

 

 

CGC CANADIAN TITLE MATCH

 

JACK DECOLT VS SKIP BEAU

Davis Ditterich "Skip Beau was part of the brutal attack on Zeus Maxmillion last week. Now Jack DeColt's here to teach him a lesson in fair play."

 

Skip tries every trick in the book to try to get the upper hand, but Jack's seen them all before. He spots the brass knuckles in Skip's singlet. He blocks the sucker punch after the handshake. He doesn't fall for begs for mercy, or for the fake knee injury trick. Skip finally manages to gain the upper hand by using his raw power to unleash a series of backbreakers, but can't resist taking shortcuts whenever he can get away with it. Jack isn't mad, he's just disappointed. Right hands! Shoulder tackles! Punches! To! The! Face! Skip kicks out of the Wild Ride (Whiplash Slam) and Jack is impressed... until Skip flees up the ramp.

 

Jack drags him back to the ring, but it's another trick! Roll Up! Feet of the ropes! Handful of Tights! 1... 2... the referee notices cheating at the last moment and stops the count. Skip argues with the referee, but makes the mistake of turning his back on his opponent. Wild Ride! End of Days (Bow & Arrow Dragon Sleeper)! Skip screams and begs... and taps!

 

JACK DECOLT WINS THE CGC CANADIAN TITLE (15:06)

 

Davis Ditterich "Golly Gee! New Champion! Jack warned Skip what would happen if he didn't straighten up and fly right, and now it's cost him the CGC Canadian Title!"

I could go either way, but I remember Elberberry being the clightly stronger worker of the two.

 

Both have developed into really solid workers over the past few years (I think going their separate ways was good for them) but Greaser has the edge in 2019, especially in the key DeColt-Categories

All that said, I´d still assume this would be DQ or count out win but you certainly have surprised me often enough so far that I´m not entirely sure which way any given match is going to go.

 

I've never liked CGC title belt structure. I think it makes sense that George DeColt would do it like this (one-upping NOTBPW) but I think the 11th biggest company in the world having a "World" title is dumb, and I've never liked any midcard titles, unless they below to a specific weight-class/gender/team division with its own roster. I've thought a lot about what kind of promotion I'd write a diary for if CGC doesn't survive to TEW2020, and a different belt structure is at the top of the list.

 

Typically in private games I either elevate a title to the main event where it belongs, or I scrap it. Or blow it up into seven cursed fragments. So this is kind of pushing the title into the main event (although Skip is already upper-midcard/main event popularity) but really it's about story. Jack winning this title, and Skip losing, gives the characters something to do. Similar to how Greaser & Torque lost last week (I did hate to hate two switches so close, but hey ho) and now Greaser can go even more wild and wacky in his promos.

I'd be mad curious to see how you'd reorganize title structures.

 

I usually play Japan, so if I'm doing GCG I introduce a women's division for undercards (Women's Openweight / Women's Tag Team). If it's BCG or JCW, I have two titles (Martial-Arts Heavyweight / World Tag Team) and then I consider supplementary stuff (Junior Heavyweight / TV Championship) down the line. If it's an OG company, then it's either Juniors or Women (Openweight / Trios / U-30 Openweight).

 

I find it hard to stick the landing in a European or North American promotion, so it's usually a basic two-title system (Singles - Tag) with a mono-focus on cruiserweight or heavyweight talent. I actually find it more interesting to run additional tournaments, and keep rosters fluid outside of some lifers. Which doesn't jive as well as I would like with Cult and National promotions...

[Self]

For CGC specifically (because titles should always serve the size, location and available talent of a promotion) I would have:

 

CGC Title / CGC Canadian Title / Golden King of Combat - The exact same belt as it is, just dropping the 'World' moniker. Because there's too much wrestling in the world to claim that your champion is THE champion. Unless you're going for heel heat.

 

CGC Tag Team Titles - Main Event Titles. It's insane to me that Canadian Golden Combat, which is built around the DeColt Family, who all have great tag team experience with each other, which is described as being heavily about stable wars, would bury their tag team belts to the undercard. Of all promotions. In this 2019 data it's not so ridiculous, because Jack's the only one left, but these belts could have been headlining for decades, alongside the singles. Every private game I end up with main event tag titles, and this one is going a similar way I feel.

 

Usually I'd leave it there. I find my brain struggles with more than two divisions. However, I like the idea that Title Bout Wrestling has a title bout on every episode, and for that to work you need another 1 or 2 straps. Mostly to fill in the gaps on the weeks where you're deciding No.1 contenders or holding grudge matches. With the right champion they could main event, but that wouldn't be the goal.

 

• Weight Class Based - Bubbleweight/Super Heavyweight.
  
• Women's Title - Would require a lot of new hires and feels like it's copying NOTBPW, but there is a Golden Girl title in the belt pictures.
  
• For Matches held under specific rules. Six-Man and Hardcore are most obvious, but Flag Match champion could be fun. Calgary Bullrope Champion.
  
• Character based. Like the Million Dollar Title, existing to put someone's character over for a few months. First things that spring to mind for this promotion would be Big Apple Champion (Sayeed) or Elite Championship (Adrian Garcia client).

 

Whatever's fun, really. If I was running my own real life promotion (translation; putting on a few local shows) I'd be tempted to have the Welsh Tag Team Championships as my main/only belts. Tag matches are naturally more exciting (and Welsh Wrestling already have the singles title). It would depend on available talent though. Without a good team it would be a flop.

King of Combat sounds pretty good, tbh. I could see DaLay calling himself that. Otherwise, CGC Canadian works fine.

 

CGC Tag Team Titles - Main Event Titles.

You're very on the money about the tag titles needing to be more prominent. Though I suppose WCCW had so many titles and so many title switches that maybe the DeColts aren't necessarily doing too badly on this.

 

Usually I'd leave it there. I find my brain struggles with more than two divisions. However, I like the idea that Title Bout Wrestling has a title bout on every episode, and for that to work you need another 1 or 2 straps. Mostly to fill in the gaps on the weeks where you're deciding No.1 contenders or holding grudge matches. With the right champion they could main event, but that wouldn't be the goal.

TV Championship would sort that nicely, no? But I suppose it'd be too rote for your creativity. And NOTBPW already have one.

 

Weight Titles - Women's Titles - Genre Titles - Character Titles

 

Character based titles do feel appropriate for CGC, yeah. I could see a CGC 'South of the Border' title put on American technical wrestlers to sort of poke fun at the Stones, occasionally going on hiatus when the amusement of it runs out. And then you subvert expectations by actually bringing in some Mexican wrestlers. And I think there's merit for women wrestlers in CGC, though not a women's title. Personally, Ricky DeColt & Zoe Ammis have been an idle favorite of mine in recent months when playing around with CGC ideas. Granted, that's because a short-lived CGC dynasty got me to ship them so that's a biased interpretation. And certainly in your kind of world intergender wouldn't be the most unlikely element...

 

Oddly enough, I'd say nah to Six Man or Hardcore titles in CGC. For as limited as the product is in TV time, I'd almost say stipulations could be as valuable as 'genre titles'.

[Self]

TV Championship would sort that nicely, no? But I suppose it'd be too rote for your creativity. And NOTBPW already have one.

 

But what does that mean? A championship defended on TV? All of my belts are defended on TV. What makes it interesting or different? What limits the field to make it necessary alongside the main singles title? We already know who the best wrestler on CGC television is. It's Blockbuster.

 

Age is another category that would work. Under 30's. Under 25's. Over 40's.

Yeah, pretty much what I meant by rote for your creativity.

 

And I don't know, Blockbuster is looking pretty fallible at the moment...

 

(Now I'm wondering how CGC fans react in-kayfabe and out-of-kayfabe to CGC ongoings...)
