DarK_RaideR Posted March 13, 2020 Author Share Posted March 13, 2020 Heads up, I just ran the next show. Expect it to be posted soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK_RaideR Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 Calvin: Chi-Town Urban Combat is back, they held Back by Demand and we are here to break it down for you. Jerry: Hoo boy… Calvin: Hoo boy is right, Jerry, every CTUC show has you in for a treat and the opening set the tone by introducing us to the newest faction... Club TExotico! Jerry: Everyone and their dog is in a faction these days, apparently, in CTUC. Calvin: I’ll give them credit for not going with the obvious choice though. I mean I probably expected them to team with Senora Muerte and form an all-Mexican stable, but I realized as Tyrell Starr cut the promo to introduce the group...they need him as their mouthpiece! None of them usually gets any mic time and Senora Muerte’s gimmick works best the less she talks, so going with Starr is not that bad a choice actually. w Jerry: What was a weird choice was to put them in a match immediately. Even weirder to have them win. I mean, I get you want to build them up as more of a joke and get some momentum going, but with Wrath in there and the Sins lose?! Calvin: A roll up finish, but yes, still a win for Club TExotico in a sub-standard match that was yet again ruined by Sloth being stoned out of his mind. Which explains why he also took the pin. Jerry: He’s lucky his gimmick can take it, imagine if he was normally an energetic high flyer and had to pull that off while high... Calvin: That and being friends with everyone else in his group is what’s probably seeing him phased down instead of outright fired. Sins may be doing bad in the shows but I’m told they’re having significant power backstage. Jerry: Ah, the usual high point of each show next, CTUC’s weird eye candy matches, preceded by a Devil’s Playthings promo w Calvin: It was Astrid and Arabella in action, with Lillith at ringside, against Avarice and Envy. Let me get this out of my chest, why on earth did they eliminate Avarice first? I get that you gotta give the babyface team an uphill battle, but why not take out Envy first? It’s pretty obvious Avarice is the better wrestler and she’s also the better looking of that duo. Jerry: Yeah there was a loud reaction when that happened. Not sure if it was the heels getting heat though or just fans excited to see Avarice in her lingerie. Calvin: To me it was a spot that paid off in the short run, but in the long run it was done at the expense of overall match quality. Assuming you can talk about quality in these matches, but they had a job to do and taking out Avarice first made that job harder to achieve. Jerry: At least we also got an actual wrestling match featuring women after that. Calvin: It wasn’t short on shenanigans either, Abominatrix made her entrance first and her goons attacked her opponent Hardcore Barbie as she was coming out to the ring afterwards. Jerry: It was the standard pre-match attack but it gave Annabelle the Canni-belle a chance to rush in for the save and it certainly set the tone for that slobberknocker of a bout that followed. Calvin: It was wild alright, they took the fight all over the venue and I was shocked at the spot where Abominatrix carved up Barbie’s forehead to be honest. Was it improvising and taking liberties? Did Barbie actually agree to have someone do a bladejob with a combat knife on her? This was insane and somewhat upsetting too. Jerry: They did a match worthy of every CTUC Bucket of Blood title match in the history books, I’ll give them that much and Barbie got her revenge in the end when she threw Abominatrix off a ledge before hitting the Beautiful Disaster for the pin. Calvin: CTUC delivers another of their usual two star bouts and off we went to the final, probably most intriguing angle of the show. So first it kicks off as a standard promo by the Jive Soul Bros, with the good Dr. hyping up the group and saying that he and Simba will claim the CTUC Deadly Duo straps to match Grim Reefer’s Internet title. Pretty standard stuff. Then the Bonechillers come out for a snap back and staredown, which is broken up by the Chi-Church Cult! Jerry: Yeah apparently they’re after the titles as a team now as well, because “The Messiah” is coming and he needs them to have those titles for some reason to be happy. Super cheap AEW rip-off, if you ask me. Calvin: Well I think it’s pretty obvious there are no plans to put the titles on the Cult. This is just a plug to hype up some new stable member and for the love of me, I can’t think who. Might be a new debuting wrestler. Jerry: Tossing that out to give fans something to talk about till the next show, for now there was the main event left to do, Pride defending her CTUC Baddest Bitch title against Senora Muerte! Calvin: Almost as good as their eye candy stuff and no small part thanks to the stipulation, a casket match that really fit the challenger’s character. This was a high stakes match for Pride, with her title on the line and everything to fight for. Jerry: She did, too. I’m amazed they went on for like, sixteen and a half minutes for this. Sure, it dragged at times, but I understand they had to pace themselves to build up the drama. Also to sell the casket stipulation. Calvin: Good thing they used a non-wooden casket for this match, I don’t know, was it metal? Plastic? Whatever that grey material was, it certainly had a dent after Senora Muerte was introduced headfirst onto the lid. Jerry: Indeed Calvin, a wooden casket may have looked better but if the lid got shattered during that spot, how were they supposed to end the match? Calvin: Well the match did end with Senora Muerte, pun intended, coming back from the dead a la unstoppable Undertaker at 30+ WrestleManias and putting Pride in the casket to become the new CTUC Baddest Bitch! Jerry: Two and three quarters overall, I hate to say it but CTUC shows are actually getting better over time. Calvin: As they should! Author's Note: Delivering one last show, as promised, to clear up my backlog and wrap up this diary before the launch of TEW2020. Thanks for reading and commenting, hope you enjoyed it!

willr0ck Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Oh snap, it's back! Well err, for one show I guess. Oh the memories... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigelow Cartwheel Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 I think was the strangest of your diaries. I look forward to what you bring with 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarK_RaideR Posted April 10, 2020 Author Share Posted April 10, 2020 Oh snap, it's back! Well err, for one show I guess. Oh the memories... Looking forward to the new RockVerse for TEW20, with areas beyond the U.S. of A I think was the strangest of your diaries. I look forward to what you bring with 2020. Between its inspiration (Oddworld) and the wackiness of the RockVerse, it got really weird. Don't worry, the insanity, meta humor and indy sleaze will certainly find their way to my future diaries...

Aurora Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It's still funny as hell although I miss El CHUPACABRA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha2117 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 El CHUPACABRA was indeed the unexpected star of this diary which has been one of the most truly off the wall fun diaries I've seen. I loved how your original Hard-Core concept mutated so rapidly as the natural insanity of the Rockverse free agent pool infected your fledgling fed and how you leant into that insanity and ran with it. The death of the Man Eating Chicken is perhaps the most bizarrely pure wrestling thing I've ever read and for that you should be proud.
