Jack Bruce: The Giant of RAW!

christmas_ape · June 1, 2020

<p>Some great segments tonight, and interesting dynamics with the teams. Plus who doesn't enjoy some LoTR puns. </p><p> </p><p>

Did you say Louie Louis was born in the Opera House?</p>

DevilofNG · June 2, 2020

As I was reading the Louie Louis segment I KNEW it was gonna be the Sydney Opera House. Very clever. Can't wait to see how that's handled. This show had a lot of good humor, including that segment, the commentary segment, and of course that awkwardly funny ending with Swoop and Loxley. SWOOP there it is!

Wait? Who was born at the Opera House?

The Lloyd · June 2, 2020

Greg Sluchinski of the Pro-Wrestling Reporter here folks, and we're gonna run through the biggest stories in the world of Professional Wrestling right now! Before we go any further, just a quick bit of admin. We're going to be changing up how we post the results from RAW Attitude! for you all. A few people have asked to be kept up to date with segment ratings, not just match ratings, so we're going to end each update with this going forward:</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;">

So if anyone has any thoughts on that, I'm all ears. Now, enough admin. Let's take a look at some of the biggest stories in wrestling right now... and there's only one place to start. I </span></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><em> was </em></span></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> going to post a big story about how Sammy Bach had rejected a contract extension offer from TCW, and how USPW, EILL and SWF had all joined the race for his signature. I </span></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"><em> was </em></span></span></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> going to speak about how well he'd fit into each company, and what we could look forward to from the 'Elation Sensation' going forward. There were even rumours of RAW in Australia offering him a deal, due to his Star Power and overall amazing performance skills. However, as I sat down to write it, my phone was pinging non-stop with notifications, and I can confirm that Bach HAS now agreed a deal. With who you ask? With SWF!! He'll slot right in at the top of the card in the land of the Supreme, and he'll be a big draw in the Area Battle in the USA between SWF and USPW!!</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;">

Speaking of SWF, some notes from their World is Watching PPV. It only pulled a 79 rating, with Brandon James over Angry Gilmore being a decent but unspectacular Main Event (80) for the SWF World Championship. Their shows have gradually been getting worse, and an ageing roster of Main Event talent, bumped by Sammy Bach in the short-term, but he is hardly a long-term solution to their problems at 41 years old. There were THREE TV shows shown on the same night as World Is Watching, that all pulled better overall ratings. Other news coming out of SWF: World Is Watching is that Makutsi suffered a broken ankle at the show, caused by Avalanche. Makutsi was seen to be 'in a bit of a funk' right now, despite a strong string of wins to kick the year off. He'll miss the next six months of action, and may not return before the end of the year.</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Courier New';"><span style="font-size:12px;">

Yu know, we used to call a show like this the 'Go-Home' Show. The one before the PPV. Obviously RAW don't currently have PPVs, so next week's show is just another TV show... Except much, much, bigger. (And much more expensive)!! But when I worked in SWF, on these 'Go-Home' Shows, we would always try to end with a big Main Event! A tag team match featuring four guys who are pairing off into singles matches on the PPV. Maybe a top babyface taking on the best friend of their rival heel, something like that. But here, I wanted to do things a little different. I put The Masterminds in the spot. I think next week at the Golden Egg Hunt they'll be featured heavily at the Sydney Opera House, and I wanted to put the shine on them a little. I realised it wasn't a huge Main Event, so I asked Loxley and Swoop to go 'All Out', and they did a very good job! Held the match together well, and closed the show well too!</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;">

Nobody disappointed me this week. Everyone around here works so damn hard, and it's easy to see why so many guys here have amazing entertainment skills. They're all constantly practising their craft backstage.</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;">

I read on the Greg Sluchinski update that RAW had offered a deal to Sammy Bach! We missed out on him, but man, he's one guy I would have loved to have worked 1 on 1. We would have torn the house down, and I only just missed him coming in to SWF. I'd be lying if I said a signing like that hasn't given me the itch to get in the ring again. I'm coming up on a year out of the game now, and I really feel I could get back in there, maybe once. But then I remember I'm 47, and this is a young man's game. Still, I'm in the right company if I ever do want to! RAW could easily produce a 'Cinematic' Style Match for me. Film it over the course of a day or two, and just tare it up with a Swoop McCarthy or a Kerry Wayne!</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;"> </span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:12px;">

I just wanted to spend a little bit of time here, taking you through the teams, and the rules, for the Golden Egg Hunt at the Easter Episode of RAW Attitude! It's going to be a bit of a unique episode, and I think you'll enjoy it, but it might be hard to keep up with who is on which team. So use this as a reference while you read...</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

The things I've done so far is to randomly draw the teams of four. If I drew out a tag team wrestler, both members of the duo ended up in the same four man team. There are exceptions to this. If I drew a tag team wrestler fourth (like Matty Wills, or Marcus Kerr for example) there wasn't space on that team to bring both members of the tag team in. If I drew a tag team wrestler first (Heath Murdock and Quiz Master) they would become sole Captain, but still bring their partner in. I'll speak more about what the teams mean, and some of the rules, but here are the completed line-ups.</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

Heath Murdock and Horton Ravenwood are three time former RAW Tag Team Champions as 'Party Central'. Marcus Kerr loves to party too, so he fits into the team well. Tye LiberTeen might just be the most talented in-ring member of LiberTeen. With Team Murdock, Kerr and Tye will be the ones sent off to the Sydney Opera House.</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

Quiz Master and Quizzical Mark Question are another tag team, with great chemistry, and again, three-time former RAW Tag Team Champions. They're joined by a couple of nice guys in Brodie Lachlan and Rod Sullivan. In a unique decision, Quiz Master and Quizzical Mark Question have been chosen to go to the Opera House! Probably because of their IQ advantage. Quiz Master is the only Captain not staying behind!</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

Team Louie Louis, captained by Louis himself, brings Matt Stoppard, Frankie LiberTeen and CJ LiberTeen together. Frankie will stay behind with Louis, despite Louis being BORN in the Sydney Opera House! Frankie is perhaps the most dangerous member of LiberTeen. CJ can dance. Maybe there'll be a dance challenge at the Opera House?!</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

If Maurice Jackson rubbed his hands together when Manhunter and Skyscraper came out of the hat for him, he would have been furious to see Lynx added fourth. Lynx and Jackson don't get on. However, on the night, they'll be competing in separate six-way matches. Manhunter and Skyscraper are heading to the Opera House.

Arguably the strongest unit in terms of in-ring prowess. Will Beaumont has learnt from the best in Captain Wrestling II and for a short time, Kerry Wayne. The youngest Captain in the competition, will have his work cut out controlling the egos of Blake Belushi and Luke Steele! Matty Wills is another youngster, and he'll be delighted to be able to team with RAW's future and present. Steele and Wills are heading to the Opera House. A fact that Steele is NOT happy about!</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

Loxley Robbins will feel he has the best team. Isaac and Cole Taylor (no relation) have had some odd interactions backstage lately. Joe 'The Z-Man' Zucco is a gun for hire, but he'll see this team as a great opportunity to win,and earn a Title shot! Isaac and Cole will head to the Opera House. Loxley and Zucco could very easily be the two winners of the six-way matches!</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

The third man in that Triple Threat will be whoever finds the Golden Egg in the Hunt at the Sydney Opera House (more on that in a moment). The winner of the Triple Threat, earns Title Shots for their entire team!! The Captain will get a TV Title Match, while the other three members will get either a Quest Title shot, or Tag Team Title shots (to be decided by the Captain!). A unique set of circumstances, and it could lead to some interesting Title Matches down the line.</span></span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

Two men from each team, will make up 'The RAW Twelve'. When they arrive at the Sydney Opera House, they will be greeted by a 'Tour Guide', who will take them around the building, into various rooms, for a series of 'Challenges'. If you lose a challenge, you are eliminated from the Competition, but you CAN be 'bought back' later by your partner if they win their challenge. The men who win their challenges enter the final room, and attempt to find the Golden Egg! If you decide to buy back your partner, you lose time in the final room. So buying back your partner doubles your chances of finding the Egg, but, you lose 30 seconds of time in the room! If you don't buy back your partner, you get a 30 second time advantage.</span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">

I can't wait for the Easter Egg Hunt!!! I've been reading, but not predicting, on the last few shows --but I didn't want you to think you'd lost me! Just been busy and have had a hard time keeping up with predictions right now.

Thank you man. There's a few fun segments for sure Just waiting for a few regulars I know would want to predict. But might post the show tonight as I've been looking forward to getting it out.

You say that, but there are 'physical challenges' in crystal maze too We'll see how he does...

If you're not fully on board with Tombstone now, you will be once you see King Bison's new render for him!! He looks the nuts!! New pic will debut in this diary in a few weeks as I'd already written and formatted this show and the next bunch of shows. I'm actually at a point where I've written and formatted the next 6 shows. So I'm well ahead Normally try to be 4-5 shows ahead of what I'm posting but I'm still furloughed.

Completely agree! I have big plans for him though. By the time the mid-season finale comes around (June Week 4), he'll be the biggest heel in the company!!

EPISODE #530

APRIL 2020, WEEK 2…

On Commentary:

Doug Vallence and Rebecca Richey

Pre-Taped Video Package

We kicked things off with a video package, hyping the upcoming show, and the matches and events we can expect to see... We didn't hear too much about the Golden Egg Hunt element of the show, but we instead focused on the matches coming up... Captain Wrestling II will fight his former friend, ally and tag team partner Kerry Wayne, who stabbed him in the back last month... We're going to see the RAW Quest Title defended in what is believed to be a Triple Threat Match... Tombstone defending against Echo and Nicky Gilbert!! Plus... In our Main Event...

Swoop McCarthy will put his RAW TV Title up against the man he beat for it: Frogue Element... Both men spoke over some footage of them...

Swoop McCarthy:

“What was winning my fifth RAW TV Title like...?! It was everything man... Everything I'd worked so hard for... Everything I've dreamed about... and now it's mine again... I love being on the top of this company... being able to provide for my family... as well as help the young up and comers...”

Frogue Element:

“Help the young up and comers?! Is he serious...?! He tries to bury me at every opportunity!! The bloke's full of it...”

Swoop McCarthy:

“Yeah so, he won the Title in a Triple Threat Match... His only big Title defence was a Triple Threat Match... First time we fought 1 on 1, I beat him soundly...”

Frogue Element:

“I am sick of this... Won it in a Triple Threat... Defended it in a Triple Threat...? Yeah... and...? So what...? What people FAIL to mention when they throw this insult my way, is that it is NOT an insult at all... I beat BOTH Swoop McCarthy AND Maurice Jackson... TWICE!! The two biggest stars in RAW...!! Yeah... Triple Threat... Both times... But I still did that!! Nobody can take THAT away from me...”

Swoop McCarthy:

“At the Easter Show... I'm proving my point... I should be at the top of the tree here... Not Frogue... and that's the truth... SWOOP... There it is...!!”

</div>

In The Ring

We came back live, and the entrance music of the ass-kicker Nathan McKenzie hit... he stomped to the ring, and was soon joined by Montgomery Croft...!!

It was time for the Contract Signing... In two weeks, McKenzie and Croft will FINALLY go 1 on 1... in a Falls Count Anywhere Match... But... We still have no idea what Croft knows about McKenzie, and if he'll ever tell us... McKenzie signed the contract first, and then respectfully stood back so that Croft could do the same... 'Big Mac' waited... and he waited... and he waited... Until he was finally happy that Croft had signed his name on the dotted line...

And then BOOM!!

He leapt over the table with a flying tackle, that knocked Croft over and to the floor!! One of his shoes even came off in the attack!! The well-dressed 'Richest Man In RAW' was beaten to a pulp as referees and officials began heading down the ramp... But McKenzie wasn't messing about... He hoisted Croft up on his shoulders, and hit a powerbomb through the contract, and through the table!!

</div>

Pre-Taped Videos

As referee's and officials cleared the ring, and took McKenzie to the back, we were treated to some video packages...

These videos, cut together masterfully, showed the journeys of some of the 'RAW 12', who are all heading off to begin the Egg Hunt later tonight!!

We began with the RAW Giants (Manhunter & Skyscraper), who were in a large truck... They quickly made a decision about the whole thing...

Manhunter:

“I get what's on the line here Scraper... but I really feel we should head back to that cave one more time, rather than be competin' tonight...? Someone is trying to tell us somethin'... and I wanna know what...!!”

Skyscraper looked a little annoyed, but if Montgomery Croft is right about him, it's because he already knows the secret of the cave paintings...

Next up, the group known as LiberTeen were on the Bogan Bus!! Spirits were high, with three members in Golden Egg Hunt Teams tonight... George, the only member of LiberTeen NOT selected for a team, came running in with a large box... saying he had presents for them... They all opened their gifts, to reveal matching tracksuit tops!!

Frankie LiberTeen:

“I'm not bein' funny here George, mate, but we all look like Dingo Doo Doo!! I'll wear it... But reluctantly!!”

Finally for now, Luke Steele and Matty Wills were cruising along in Steele's car... He did not look best pleased to be there...

Luke Steele:

“I warned him... I told him... but Will Beaumont didn't listen... and now, I have to go to this stupid Egg Hunt... with a pipsqueak like you!! Give me one good reason why I shouldn't pull this car over, and snap you like a twig right now!!”

Matty Wills:

“Because you wouldn't dare... You need me old-timer, admit it!!”

With that, the tyres screeched, and Steele pulled in to a lay-by... Wills asked what was going on, and Steele responded by removing his seatbelt... He slid out of the car, walked around to Wills' side, and pulled him out through the open window, by his neck!! Will kicked out at Steele, but he couldn't connect with anything meaningful that might stop him... But Steele knew what to do!! He hoisted Wills up, and then dropped him with the 'Steele Crusher' (Shoulder Breaker Piledriver!), before jumping back in the car and driving away... Looks like Wills, along with The RAW Giants, aren't going to make it to the Sydney Opera House...!!

</div>

The First of Two Six-Way Golden Egg Matches:

|

This opener was a chaotic six-way match. The cameras and the referee struggled to keep up, but since it was one fall to a finish, a lot of the rule breaking going on wasn't actually rule breaking! The main story of the match was Louie Louis and Loxley Robbins both trying to hit their 'Butterfly Powerbomb' finishers. In the end, Loxley hit his on Sullivan, while Louis hit his on Murdock. They pinned their opponents at the SAME time!! But at 2 and a half, to the shock of everyone, Murdock kicked out!! Sullivan didn't, and Loxley got the win!!

60

Winner:

'The Real Beaut' Loxley Robbins

Finish:

'Butterfly Powerbomb Pin'

</div>

The Sydney Opera House – Challenge One

So Loxley Robbins qualifies for the Finals next week... He'll face the other six-way match winner, and the Golden Egg Hunt winner!! The winner of that match, will earn their team Title shots against all three Titles in RAW!! We cut to the Sydney Opera House next, where nine of the 12 Golden Egg Hunt competitors were waiting to be greeted...

The Historian:

“Gentlemen... Welcome to the Sydney Opera House!!”

Heath Murdock:

“Hey I know you!! Aren't you a Policeman?!”

The Historian:

“No... I am The Historian!! And it is MY job, to take you around this building... and take you through the challenges... Think of me as your 'Host' for this afternoon and evening... so... Without further delay... Follow me...”

The Historian walked through the lobby, until he found the door he was looking for... A door marked 'Challenge One'...

The Historian:

“All I can tell you about Challenge One, is that it's a 'Mental' challenge... Of the nine of you, two must enter the room... The rest can watch on these two TV monitors... If the two men win, they qualify for the Egg Hunt at the end of the show... Lose... and you will remain in this room for the rest of the night!! UNLESS... Your teammate wins later on... They can come and save you if they want... but more on that later...”

Quiz Master and Quizzical Mark Question both wanted to enter... but they're on the same team, so it didn't make sense to... In the end, the group chose Quiz Master and Tye LiberTeen, who told everyone how intelligent he was, and they put him in to shut him up!!

Quiz Master and Tye stepped into the room, and the door shut behind them... A single, solitary lamp lit the centre of the room... Under the lamp, which swung a little in an unexplained breeze, was a chess board... and then this man entered from another door...

Chess Maniac, a 35 year old Mexican, who calls himself 'The Thinking Man's Wrestler' is a chess expert, and he sat at the table...

Quiz Master:

“Don't worry Tye... I've got this...”

Quiz Master was very confident... But Tye scoffed at him, and said he wants to play too... He and Quiz Master argued a little... Before they knew it, just two moves in, Chess Maniac had them at Checkmate!! Quiz Master couldn't believe it... Both of them were eliminated!!

</div>

RAW Quest Title Match:

'The Enigma' Echo [vs] 'The Natural' Nicky Gilbert [vs] Tombstone ©

An absolutely fantastic RAW Quest Title Match, that will raise the profile of the Championship. Tombstone was his usual dominant self, but if he was honest with himself, he would have been surprised to see both Echo and Gilbert show up here, looking as healthy as they did! Tombstone has been brutal in his treatment of both of his challengers in recent weeks, and he was even more vicious here. In hindsight Gilbert and Echo should have teamed up and worn Tombstone down, but they both wanted to make an impact their own way. For the finish, Echo had Gilbert dead to rights, and he hit his 'Sound Blaster' (Ear Clap Sleeper) hold. However, as Gilbert struggled for breath, and Echo's eyes lit up, he didn't see Tombstone slide into the ring behind him. The RAW Quest Champion chop-blocked Echo at the knee, and he released Gilbert and fell to the mat! On his knees he was a sitting duck and Tombstone locked in his 'Rear Naked Choke!'

71

Winner:

and STILL RAW Quest Champion: Tombstone

Finish:

'Rear Naked Choke'

</div>

The Sydney Opera House – Challenge Two

We headed back to the Sydney Opera House, with The Historian continuing to take the remaining challengers on a tour...

The Historian:

“Did you know... 233 designs were submitted for the Opera House international design competition held in 1956. Jørn Utzon from Denmark was announced the winner, receiving ₤5000 for his design...? Gentlemen... Here we are... The Studio of the Sydney Opera House... A flexible space with 280 permanent seats (some of which can be folded up) and a maximum capacity of 400, depending on configuration... And here's the challenge... It's a DANCING challenge!!”

Marcus Kerr and Matt Stoppard, on separate teams tonight, said that they are the perfect guys for this... Normally partying until 3am...

CJ LiberTeen:

“Are you KIDDING me...?! I am in a BOY band... Do you understand what that means...?! I do ALL the chorography for our routines... I'M the man for this challenge!!”

In the end, the group agreed with CJ, and sent him in, along with Kerr, who beat Stoppard in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors!!

The former RAW wrestler Dazzler was waiting in the Studio when CJ and Kerr walked in... and there were three VR Dance Mats set up!! Dazzler told the other two to 'keep up', and he began dancing!! We skipped through by speeding up the footage, and it looked hilarious!! The time the three had been dancing was shown in the bottom right of the screen, and Kerr was defeated right before the ten minute mark... After almost half an hour on the timer, Dazzler had to step off the mat, and he was exhausted!! CJ LiberTeen had beaten him, and beaten the challenge!!

LIVE In The Arena!

The RAW Tag Team Champions God's Gift (Alexander Banks and Spiffy Stan Standish) strolled to the ring, with their Championship Belts...

Alexander Banks:

“Spiffy me old Clobber! November to now... That's FIVE months... FIVE months, we've been the RAW Tag Team Champiaaaaaans!!”

Spiffy Stan Standish:

“Banksy me old Clobber! Four defences... We've had a great knock so far... But what is becoming more, and more, clear...er...? More and more clearer? Clear... er...? Is that right...?!”

Alexander Banks:

“Yeah I think that's right...”

Spiffy Stan Standish:

“What is becoming more clearer... Is that there is not a SINGLE tag team, in the whole of RAW, who can take these Belts from us... Because we...”

Before Standish could finish his thought, a weird entrance music began to play... and this image appeared on the screen...

Then, it changed to this:

The Brat Pack (Artemis Ayre Rochester and Thurston Darcy III) came out to a huge ovation from the fans, and they took a moment on the stage to soak it in...

Thurston Darcy III:

“YES! For it is I... Thurston Darcy... the THIRD... and Artemis... speaking of THIRD... Do you remember when we won our THIRD RAW Tag Team Titles...?!”

Artemis Ayre Rochester:

“Well no... actually Thurston... I don't...?”

Thurston Darcy III:

“That's because it hasn't happened yet... But are these two: 'God's Gifts' – whatever that means?... Going to be man enough to stop us...?!”

BOTH:

“DOUBT IT!!”

Banks and Standish just walked off, completely dismissing the Brat Pack as a threat, which they found very rude...

</div>

The Sydney Opera House – Challenge Three

We cut back to the Sydney Opera House again, with just seven of the original twelve competitors left standing...

The Historian:

“Construction was expected to take four years. It took 14 years. Work commenced in 1959 and involved 10,000 construction workers... Just a crazy amount... and HERE gentlemen... is the third challenge... Two of you, will head into the Utzon Room: A small multi-purpose venue for parties, corporate functions and small productions... and things of that nature... This challenge, is all about BALANCE!!”

After a short debate, Isaac Taylor and Matt Stoppard stepped up... and when they walked in, they found these two men...

Surfer Dude Lucas and Jesse Tasmen – two young developmental prospects with insane amounts of charisma...

Jesse Tasmen:

“Yeah so, it's pretty simple really... but you've got a Buckley's Chance of beating us!!”

Surfer Dude Lucas:

“See those four Surf Boards there... in those paddling pools...? Well they're like the kinda Buck A Balls (mechanical bulls) you can get... except with SURF boards... We all line up... see who stays on the longest!!”

They all hopped on a board, and someone pressed start... From left to right, the order was Taylor, Stoppard, Lucas and Tasmen... No need to speed up the video this time, because it was hilarious to watch in real time... However, Isaac Taylor found a way to cheat to win!! Things started hardcore, and all four men nearly fell a couple of times... but then during a quieter moment, Taylor saw his opening... He shoved Stoppard sideways, and the 3AM Boy fell into Lucas, who in turn fell into Tasmen!! Taylor won it!! The surfers didn't see him do it!!

Jesse Tasmen:

“Ah tough break Matt... But did you have to take us down with ya?”

Matt Stoppard:

“Back off ya idiot... Taylor pushed me!!”

Tasmen and Lucas didn't appreciate being taken down, and didn't appreciate being called idiots... So they beat Stoppard up!! Taylor just sloped out the door, victorious, and into the Finals!!

Captain Wrestling II [vs] 'Mr. Australia' Kerry Wayne w/ Kal & Kian Wayne

Two legends of Australian wrestling, who are more commonly associated with being on the same side of a war. Since day one in RAW, Captain Wrestling and Kerry Wayne have been the two biggest fan favourites in the company. 11 years, and hundreds of battles, they've seen off many and all threats to the company and to their livelihood. But now Wayne is a different guy. He turned on his 'best' friend at the 11th Anniversary Show, and aligned himself with his brothers Kal and Kian. Together, The Wayne Brothers make an imposing trio, and a threat to everything Captain Wrestling holds dear. The Captain fought bravely here, but with Kal and Kian a constant menace at ringside. They got involved on multiple occasions, and Captain couldn't get any momentum going. For the finish, he was able to finally get his hands on Kal Wayne, body slamming him on the steel ramp! However, when he got back into the ring, the referee's gaze was taken by both Kal and Kian, with Kian screaming that Kal was hurt! Kerry was able to stick his index finger right in Captain's eye!! He followed it up sharply with the 'Flying Bulldog' from the second rope, and the victory was his!

70

Winner:

'Mr. Australia' Kerry Wayne w/ Kal & Kian Wayne

Finish:

'Flying Bulldog' (from the second rope)

</div>

Sydney Opera House – Challenge Four

The Historian:

“Our final 'elimination challenge' will take place in this Recording Studio gentlemen... It's a 'Strength' challenge... and you may just recognise the man inside... Since you three remaining competitors (Luke Steele, Quizzical Mark Question and Cole Taylor) are all that's left, you don't have a choice but to send all three of you in... So in you go...”

Steele, Question and Cole walked in, and found a familiar face... That of developmental star JT Ace, who had a cup of coffee on RAW in 2019...

Ace welcomed them to his challenge... and said that it was time for them to test their strength... In an ARM WRESTLING CHALLENGE!! Cole Taylor stepped up first, and put up a bit of a fight... but he was beaten by the 6'10, 365lb Jamaican... Cole was eliminated!!

Quizzical Mark Question:

“FOR THE RECORD!!”

Before Question could finish, he was beaten with ease... he shouted that he wasn't ready... but it was too late... Then Steele stepped up... Steele and Ace both pushed hard, the veins in their foreheads almost bursting through the skin... But Steele had just enough to win it!! He came out of the room all smiles, after sharing a respectful glance... Then suddenly, this man inexplicably ran past...

He shouted: “Don't tell him you seen me!!”... and ran down the corridor... Everyone was confused... But they were even more confused moments later... They heard a muffled voice shout: “Which way did he go?!”... And then this man came running towards them, wielding a baseball bat...

They all pointed in the direction of the first guy... Not sure what to make of any of it...

</div>

At The Cave

Manhunter and Skyscraper arrived at the cave they'd been visiting in recent weeks... Seeing various cave markings...

Keep in mind, Manhunter has recently been informed by Montgomery Croft of the truth behind those cave markings...

According to Croft, Skyscraper already knew the truth... and when they arrived at the cave, Manhunter walked in behind Skyscraper...

He was looming behind his partner, and then he confronted the big man about what he knows...

Manhunter:

“So... Scraper... Me an' you have been up an' down the road together for a loooong time... What I wanna know is... When were you gonna tell me...?!”

Skyscraper claimed to not know what he was talking about, but Manhunter told him everything, and their voices were raised... After a vicious argument, Manhunter motioned to leave, and Skyscraper threw his hands up in the air, and turned away in disgust... But Manhunter wasn't going anywhere, and he turned back and slammed into his partner... shoving him into the rock hard wall of the cave!! A cut opened up on his partner's head, but Manhunter wasn't finished there... He shoved Skyscraper again, and again he hit his head... He dropped to the floor, and Manhunter began laying in the boots... He paused... almost showing regret... but then he carried on kicking!! Skyscraper couldn't cover up... blood was pouring out of the wound on his head... He was done...

</div>

The Second of Two Six-Way Golden Egg Matches:

|

A much shorter six-way match than the previous one here. All six men had the chance to win it at the end, but there could only be one. Brodie Lachlan was impressive throughout, as was Frankie LiberTeen, who probably came the closest to winning without actually winning as he hit a brutal Spinning Back Elbow on Ravenwood after the fan favourite had taken everybody else out with a dive through the ropes! Horton somehow kicked out of the resulting pin, but it was a very close call. In the end though, Horton was the man pinned. He fell victim to Blake Belushi's 'Axe Kick' finisher. All six men impressed in truth, and the match rating outshone the other, more 'star-studded', six way match!

63

Winner:

'Beautiful' Blake Belushi

Finish:

'Axe Kick'

</div>

Sydney Opera House – The Final Challenge

The Final Three became a Final Four, as Isaac Taylor opted to trade his victory from earlier in the night, in for the release of Cole Taylor!!

The Historian:

“Welcome Gentlemen... To the Concert Hall!! Now... This room contains the Sydney Opera House Grand Organ... The largest mechanical tracker action organ in the world, with over 10,000 pipes!! But right now... I want to introduce you to someone... This... is Hack The Hunter!!”

Hack The Hunter:

“Luke Steele... CJ LiberTeen... Since you won your challenge, and opted NOT to release your partners (Steele's wasn't even in the building, and CJ said Matt Stoppard was 'useless')... you will begin to search for the Golden Egg on my first whistle... Isaac and Cole, you must leave the room... You will come in on my second whistle... Do you understand?!”

Everyone nodded, and Isaac and Cole went back out into the corridor...

Hack The Hunter:

“SO!! Let the HUNT... BEGIN!!”

Hack blew his whistle, and Luke Steele immediately barrelled into CJ LiberTeen, sending him flying with a shoulder tackle!! He beat down on his rival, before hitting the 'Steele Crusher' Shoulder Piledriver on poor CJ... He then waited for the Taylors... The second whistle blew moments later, and again Steele steam-rolled into Isaac and Cole... Sending Cole back through the door again!! He threw Isaac around, but then Cole got back into the room, and a fight broke out between the two men... Steele began to backtrack at this point... With Steele on the back foot, and running backwards up the stairs between rows of seats, Cole began to grow in confidence... But then Steele found a way to keep Cole locked down, which would ultimately be the main reason the 'Unbreakable' RAW Star found the Golden Egg!

Cole went for a boot, and Steele dodged it, but he deflected Cole's leg down into the back of one of the folding seats... Steele then hit a boot of his own, and Cole fell sideways into the aisle... dangling precariously with his leg trapped... He couldn't get out... Steele panicked a little, as Isaac Taylor picked up a led pipe from the floor and began dragging it with him up the stairs... But the former 3-time RAW TV Champ stumbled across the large Golden Egg, the size of a rugby ball, down the back of one of the seats near Cole Taylor!!

Steele held the Egg above his head, and was declared the winner of the Golden Egg Hunt!! He'll now go on to next week, and fight Loxley Robbins and Blake Belushi for the chance to earn their respective teams Title Shots!! The Announce Team confirmed that Belushi and Steele were actually representatives of the same team!!

</div>

An excellent Main Event here, but one that ended strangely, and we later found out why. Swoop versus Frogue is a rivalry that's been going on for a few months now, and quite frankly, it's one the fans of RAW would love to see continue for a few months more. This was their second 1 on 1 contest, and much like the first one, Swoop had a lot of fun in the ring. He made Element extremely dizzy with a spinning pinning combination, and angered his rival with constant jabs as if they were in a boxing match. Swoop's go-to move was a quick step jab, and then he'd duck and dive as Frogue attempted, and failed, to hit him back! Late on in the contest are where things got strange. The usually safe pair made an error when Swoop was going for a sunset flip powerbomb on the top rope. He rotated over Frogue fine, but as Frogue came down, he landed all of his bodyweight on Swoop's left leg, crushing his knee and making him yell in pain! Nasty looking injury, and one that stopped McCarthy's momentum a little. It was clear that he was looking for his 'Running Powerslam' a few moments later but couldn't lift Frogue up, so instead hit his 'Side Russian Leg Swoop', and retained his Title!

75

Winner:

and STILL RAW TV Champion: 'The Alpha Male' Swoop McCarthy

Finish:

'Side Russian Leg Swoop'

</div>

Post Match Closing Segment

A great match that ended in strange circumstances... We'll learn the extent of Swoop's injury soon... But he hobbled up the ramp and celebrated his big win on the stage...

The Historian did a GREAT job hosting the Easter Egg Hunt! That man is golden!

christmas_ape · June 5, 2020

<p>That really had a bit of everything didn't it! Makes sense to have the big guns (Blake, Loxley, Steele) make up the triple threat as that should be a big match in game.</p><p> </p><p>

The egg hunt was built up well and is obviously intriguing so it was easy to overlook that there was also some huge matches. Sad to see Swoop seemingly out. </p><p> </p><p>

Interested to see if the Joe Exotic/Tiger people are completely one offs, or if they are developmental workers or just in general what the deal is with them. They could definitely make either a great team or great rivals anyway! </p><p> </p><p>

And the wait for the brat pack was worth it, I really like them in this.</p>

HiPlus · June 5, 2020

Nooo o forgot to do my predictions. <img alt="

HiPlus · June 5, 2020

<p><p>That was amazing, so glad to see Tasman/Lucas together for a challenge, and Steele eliminating his own partner before the show was great as well. The triple threat will be so good, and the Joe Exotic skit randomly showing up was sweet. Such a good show, I hope Swoop isn't out long term. Funny you mention in your replies Frogue is going to be the biggest heel, because I had a look at my own save in August and Frogue had overtaken Swoop as the most popular character in the company, with Frogue the Face and Swoop the heel.</p><p> </p><p></p><p>

Awesome to see Wills not even make it to the Opera House and Louie almost getting the win at the same time as Loxley.</p></p>

The Lloyd · June 6, 2020

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Greg Sluchinski of the Pro Wrestling Reporter here, and we have a few items to discuss this evening. First things first, we're going to head to NYCW, and congratulate COTT World Champion Pablo Rodriguez, who won the King of New York Battle Royale this past week! He's had a stand-out 2020 so far, and in my opinion, it's only a matter of time before an SWF, or a USPW come calling for his services. Such a great talent, with a wealth of experience.

TCW had a Title change this week, when Greg Gauge lost the Television Title to the Super Heavyweight Samoan Tana The Mighty. It's great to see Tana doing so well in the last couple of years, after a good reign as TCW Tag Champ too with Mighty Mo in 2018. But I can't help but think they took the Title off of Gauge, so they could move him up a level. TCW management know what they have with Gauge, so they'll be building him slowly. But he's a future World Champion for sure.

Speaking of guys I've pegged as future World Champions in recent years, I have some news now about 21CW's 32 year old Wade Orson. 6'5”, 270lbs, bags of charisma and star quality. He's just never kicked on to that next level, and he's been stuck in the mid-card for a long time now. Well, I can report that news broke this week that his contract is NOT being renewed by 21CW!! Earlier this month I reported here that Kelly Martin's contract extension was not forthcoming either, although his brother Lance Martin still has a while left on his. Where will Kelly and Orson end up? Will 21CW have a change of heart for the two, that are clearly coming into their prime? I get that Orson's rise has stalled in recent years, but Kelly and Lance are former 3-time 21CW Tag Champs, with their last impressive 7 month reign ending as recently as August 2019.

Staying with 21CW for now, Tommy Cornell suffered a neck strain in his Main Event match with Bedlam. It was by no means Bedlam's fault, and Cornell won't need to take any time off from the injury, but he'll be sore for a few days at least. I'll bet everyone working backstage damn near had heart attacks!

We had a heel turn in CWA over in Canada, as Ricky DeColt turned on his brother Jack after their tag team Main Event win! It was a brutal attack on Jack, and it marks the first time from my memory that Ricky has ever been a heel. The blonde haired son of George DeColt, and brother to Steve, Alex and Jack, is a good looking babyface through and through, and that's how he's been booked for his entire career. It'll be really interesting to see how he does as a heel, especially with such a stacked roster of heels at the top of the card.

Below are the results of RAW's recent big episode of TV: The Easter Golden Egg Hunt Show. A fun episode, with a lot of different things going on. I recommend you take a look at it when you can. Swoop McCarthy may have suffered a knee injury, but since the show just happened a few hours ago, reports are sketchy and we don't know all the facts. Much like with Tommy Cornell, I'll bet there were a few heart attacks backstage! He finished the match, and left under his own fruition, so that's good news.

That's all I have time for for now folks. But I'll be back soon.

</div>

I know this show is gonna divide opinions, but I thoroughly enjoyed the Easter Golden Egg Hunt Show!! All the boys put the work in to make sure it was fun, and enjoyable for everyone watching. Nobody can complain about the in-ring product either. I thought the matches we put out there were truly excellent! Captain versus Kerry is a match I've wanted to see since I got here, and they didn't disappoint me. Speaking of Captain, he's been working really hard on his physical appearance, and he looks way more ripped than he did. Looks more like a star now, yu know?

Swoop McCarthy versus Frogue Element saw us out for the second TV Special in a row, and I thought they did a tremendous job of putting a bow on things. But now I feel I must address the elephant in the room. Yeah, Swoop got hurt. Early reports suggest he's going to miss between 6 and 8 weeks, which puts him out of the Two Week Tag Team Tournament (our next TV Specials), and makes him a big doubt for the Mid-Season Finale. A big blow to us, and quite honestly, I'm going to have to make a decision about him as TV Champion. I need my Champion on TV every week. One or two weeks, I could cope. But six to eight? That's a different story. We're still waiting for the final say-so from the Doctors, but I won't hold my breath. I'll need to start making both concrete and flexible plans for the next few months.

Just a quick mention to some of the developmental guys we used for the Golden Egg Hunt. I thought guys like Hack The Hunter, Surfer Dude Lucas, Jesse Tasmen and Dazzler all did a wonderful job. Chess Maniac, we all know how good he is. And JT Ace, a kid I see a lot of potential in, I thought did well too. I was a bit reluctant to 'announce' it here at first, but I'll be bringing Ace up to the Main Roster soon. I have a spot for him I really like the sound of. And last but not least, my fellow American The Historian! He held the whole show together well, and we all learnt a lot from him. He did all the research about the Sydney Opera House himself! He did great work!

I have to get out of here though guys. I need to speak to Swoop, and some Doctors, and then begin to make some plans.

</div>

Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming as I'd love to know your thoughts on the unique show. I've never really done anything quite like that in my writing in the past, so it's good to know what worked and what didn't.

Joe Exotic and the Tiger were just a fun little cameo. I made Joe using King Bison's Regular Joe rerender out of boredom a while back, and someone else posted the Tiger with the baseball bat. I thought it was funny so I found a spot for them on this show
