I think that's Jinder Mahal as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

Yeah he won it from Christian Cage in October on a Stampede show, defended against Samoa Joe at Bound For Glory and has just defended against Kevin Nash at Destination X. He's also the Stampede North American Heavyweight Champion and the Stampede International Tag Team Champion with Gama Singh Jr.

 

Quite a meteoric rise from the 20 year old, it has to be said. He'll know TJ & Harry from Stampede, so maybe I have him come in and throw the NWA World title down? :D He's E overness in all of North America, but he keeps getting these big wins.

Promotions will always push a tall good looking guy with no skills! Though I have to say, him beating Christian Cage at a Stampede show is some nice booking by the AI.

 

Heck, Stampede doing anything to catch the eye is something else (the Harts tried to revive it between 1999 and 2005, and then a businessman and one of their trainees ran the revival until 2008, and then the trainee launched Great North Wrestling). I was always tempted to try and do a dynasty with them, keeping the Hart and Singh kids close by.

ECW on FX - Episode #9 [Preview]

 

Previous Show:
<hr color=black>

This week's ECW on FX features all the fallout to Living Dangerously 2007, with Dual Champion Rhino in action once again, teaming with fellow pay-per-view victor Jerry Lynn. The two men will face Brent Albright & Chad Collyer, the former bettered by Jerry Lynn just four nights prior to Thursday's show.

 

Five weeks ago, Brent Albright was defeated by Rhino in an ECW Television Championship match, a dominant title defence that lasted under two minutes. This embarassment has stayed with Brent Albright, and despite both him and Chad Collyer losing to Jerry Lynn within the last 7 days, they will be determined to prove they can hang with two of ECW's top stars.

The show will also feature a match between Low-Ki and Ricky Reyes, a last minute addition following an injury to Rocky Romero. Just like Romero, Xavier will not be at the building for ECW on FX due to injury, an indication of how intensely contested the World Tag Team Championships match was at Living Dangerously. Low-Ki will look to bounce back from his team's defeat, against one half of The Havana Pitbulls.

CM Punk will also appear on the show, with reaction to his defeat at Living Dangerously to "The Ripper" Paul Burchill. Perhaps the bigger issue coming out of that show was an incident between Punk's girlfriend Alisson Danger and her brother Steve Corino, with the leader of the Extreme Horsemen slapping her following a ringside confrontation. Both Punk and Danger are said to be shocked and angered by what happened, and will both address Steve Corino on the show.

 

The other match on the card will see Bryan Danielson & Nige McGuinness face Tony & Mahoney, William Regal's associates coming off a victory in Living Dangerously's "Tag Team Showcase". Reports have suggested that Regal is pushing for the newly formed team to get a Tag titles match, and they expected to strengthen their claim against Tony Mamaluke and Balls Mahoney. <hr color=black>

What I'm getting from this is that he should be the man to dethrone Rhino?

 

I've also considered some kind of Stampede save in the past, but I've never felt like I know enough about when to start it and how to approach it.

I mean, if you're doing a Canada PPV, maybe Lance Storm could edge ahead on merit, but otherwise, he's probably the best pick for a WWE style heel to piss off the Mutants.

I've hardly watched any, so take my summary with a grain of salt: British, Canadian, Japanese and Punjabi Wrestlers + Mostly Lighter, Faster Wrestling but also a few immovable hulks + Gimmick Matches (a Bruce Hart must) + Hart & Singh stables + Confusing Title Scene + Ringside Announcer With Too Much Family Friendly Stroke.

> Angel Williams as the new Mrs. Corino

 

Well, she's Canadian if nothing else. And I guess this means ol' Elijah Burke is finally out of the company... unless, god help me, he's teaming up with CM Punk to fight Paul Burchill and Steve Corino?

 

And shame on that injury to Danielson. Guess McGuinness has the chance to pull ahead with some singles matches!

ECW on FX - Episode #10 [Preview]

 

Previous Show:
<hr color=black>
O4XQdpl.png?1

This week's ECW on FX will be Main Evented by a "dream match", pitting former ECW World Champion Rob Van Dam against the exciting and innovative Teddy Hart. Comparisons have been drawn between the two men, and while Teddy has picked up 7 straight victories since coming to ECW, he has yet to share the ring with anybody on the level of RVD. As the night's Main Event, it promises to be a must-see match!

8IeKGsp.png57Mvl0j.jpg

Teddy's New Hart Foundation partners The Stampede Bulldogs will also be in action on the show, with Harry Smith & TJ Wilson facing Chuck Palumbo & Little Guido of the F.B.I. These two teams shared the ring at Living Dangerously, but neither were victorious, as Bryan Danielson & Nigel McGuinness walked out with the win. All four men will be desperate to improve their standings in the ECW Tag Team division, and this is the perfect night to do that. Coming off a big win against CM Punk, Paul Burchill will face local talent Cory Kastle.

BIyhHoA.pnglJQ5Do5.jpg

As well as the in-ring action, there will be backlash from the conclusion of the previous episode, where Low-Ki left both Jerry Lynn and Rhino laying. Seemingly coming from out of nowhere, speculation suggests Ki has his eyes on at least one of Rhino's two Championships. This of course will not sit well with the Dual Champion, who is unlikely to let Low-Ki get away with his actions. The Warrior can expect a big reaction from Rhino, on this week's ECW on FX!<hr color=black>

I think Angel can be a good addition to the storyline, but we'll have to wait and see whether you agree :). Elijah left in the big group at the end of January, so don't worry about him coming to save his best friend Punk :D

 

Yeah, it was annoying at the time but I think it plays into the story well going forward and, like you say, gives chance for Nigel to get on Bryan's level and potentially surpass him.

They disliked each other in OVW and ECW, if I'm not mistaken. So knowing you, you'd bring him in to tag with Punk and then turn on him! :p

 

(IIRC, they had a couple of decent matches in ECW but Punk seemed to feel he was his worst opponent ever to work with)

I've been following along with this project on youtube for the past few weeks since I've been working from home, and I've really enjoyed these updates! Excellent way to sneak in a 10 minute break.

 

Definitely feels like you've achieved in making ECW have its own identity beyond just being the "C Show". Shame about the Danielson injury, and I'm no sure about this Teddy Hart push. He's got the talent, but, personally, I find that his demons and behavior IRL overpower his in-ring skill. Obviously, that's something you can ignore for TEW purposes, until he actually becomes a jerk backstage.

In recent weeks, Low-Ki announced himself on the World title scene, taking down the Dual Champion Rhino on the show that followed Living Dangerously 2007. Xavier hasn't been seen since that pay-per-view event, and was a doubt to even compete this week. He & Low-Ki will however team up once again, facing two former World Champion Competitors in Jerry Lynn & Rhino. The World Champion has the chance cement his place at the top of the ECW food chain, but a win for Low-Ki would all but confirm him as the next Number One Contender.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="K8xIjuK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/K8xIjuK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="lJQ5Do5.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/lJQ5Do5.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BIyhHoA.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BIyhHoA.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="30SO0Om.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/30SO0Om.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:Tahoma;"> Elsewhere, Tommy Dreamer's challenge to "fight" Kevin Fertig has been accepted, with the "Heart & Soul" of ECW going up against the man who attacked him at Living Dangerously.

I fully expect to have to fire him within the year, but as of this episode he is yet to have caused any trouble and I think is helping with establishing the Stampede Bulldogs. The period in game at the minute is around the time he was back in FCW on what I assume was his "last chance". I'd like to think we can be a positive influence on him and get him on the straight and narrow, but obvious it's Teddy Hart, so I won't be holding my breath.</p>

I gave them Devon Storm vs. Tommy Dreamer last week, the remaining CyberSlam viewers deserved a decent match :p.
Your fault for not booking a crowbar spot in the finish of the Dreamer-Storm match.

Not a clue, to be honest. I usually run without babyface heel personally, so I've never really explored the mechanic's actual influence in the game.

ECW on FX - Episode #12 [Preview]

 

Previous Show:
<hr color=black>
O4XQdpl.png?1

This week's ECW on FX promises another night of action-packed, extreme wrestling, as Rhino defends the ECW Television Championship against Xavier. Recently, Rhino has been forced to deal with Xavier's partner Low-Ki, who has made clear his intentions to take the World title from the "Dual Champion", but "The Revolutionary" may get the chance to steal the thunder of his close friend, live on FX!

 

Last week, Xavier was pinned by Rhino in a tag team main event which also featured Low-Ki and Jerry Lynn, but ECW officials were sufficiently impressed with Xavier's recent performances and made this match. A huge upset could be on the cards, but the undefeated Rhino will be confident he can keep Xavier down for the second week in a row.

What Rhino may be less certain about is an announcement that Paul Heyman has, which he claims is all about "giving back to the fans". Rhino has made his disdain towards the ECW audience known on a number of ocassions, and what "The Chief of ECW" has planned is unlikely to sit well with the double title holder. Heyman has promised to deliver the announcement live on this week's show!

 

There will also be an update on Rob Van Dam's condition, after Jerry Lynn hit him with a violent Chair Shot to the back of the head on last week's show. Rob Van Dam was left in a pool of his own blood, and had to be rushed to hospital following the incident.

CTf4VGm.png57Mvl0j.jpg

Packing the show with even more action, ECW on FX will open with a match between Homicide and Teddy Hart, the two figureheads of their respective feuding stables. The Hustle and The New Hart Foundation are two of the most cohesive units in ECW, but with so many combustable elements, this one is almost certain to descend into complete chaos. The young, hungry ECW roster all have something to prove, perhaps none more so than Homicide and Teddy Hart. The night's other match will pit Brent Albright & Chad Collyer against The Extreme Horsemen's C.W. Anderson & Stevie Richards, two teams desperate to build some momentum in the ever evolving landscape of ECW.

 

ECW on FX will also feature interviews recorded earlier in the week, with Steve Corino and CM Punk both giving their "side of the story" in the increasingly personal rivalry involving the two men and their girlfriends. Those who have seen the footage say that both men "cross the line" into questionable territory, and the controversial interviews will air uncut, only on ECW on FX!<hr color=black>

ECW on FX - Episode #13 [Preview]

 

Previous Show:
<hr color=black>
O4XQdpl.png?1

Following last week's announcement of the upcoming "One Night Only" live pay-per-view style event coming to FX, ECW will potentially crown a new number one contender on this week's ECW on FX. In the Main Event, Jerry Lynn will face Low-Ki, with the latter on the brink of earning a title shot. If "The Warrior" can beat Rhino's right hand man - a former ECW World Champion in his own right - he will face Rhino at One Night Only for the World title.

K8xIjuK.jpgBIyhHoA.png

Last week, Jerry Lynn looked to repeat the attack that took Rob Van Dam out for the forseeable future, but Low-Ki was wise to the plan. He took Lynn down with a stiff kick to the head, and will look to do the same this week. Rhino will undoubtadely have his eye on the match, and this is something Low-Ki will be prepared for, one week after his partner Xavier was defeated by ECW's Dual Champion.

 

Another match that looks set to take place at ECW One Night Only is Tommy Dreamer vs. Kevin Fertig, and the recently returned Fertig will be in action this week. He will face the "original hooded man" Devon Storm, who looks to have been set up as a sacrificial lamb, in order for Kevin Fertig to send a message to Tommy Dreamer. Little Guido will be in action against Johnny Kashmere.

 

As well as the in-ring competition, CM Punk & Alisson Danger are set to go face to face with Steve Corino & Angel Williams, with the two couples looking no closer to resolving their issues. CM Punk is said to have a challenge set for Steve Corino, which is expected to lead to another huge match for ECW One Night Only!<hr color=black>
