Weise nails Lizmark with the Stump Grinder and then power bombs La Parka on to his fallen partner. He pins them both for the easy 1-2-3 and lets out a loud bellow before departing through the crowd.

Love your stuff brother. You really capture that old school feel with your new NWA. Plus I love how you are taking these younger guys and making them big stars. What I dont like however is the 2 on 1 match with Lizmark and La Parka vs The King Of Monsters. Ive never liked it when the smaller guys are made to look weak at the hands of a big man. Matt Weise is a nasty man and should be taking on heavyweights, not destroying luchas. Other than that great shows so far. Cant wait untill the rest of Fusion, plus the NWA Title of Corino is a great idea and I love D'Lo chasing the title. Also, lve The One Man Gang!

Wow! Just read the lot in one go as I was pretty much hooked. What scenario are you using for this? If it's one you've created are you going to release it :-D

[Wildfire1324]

Thanks guys. Thanks for reading. I think I'm just using the RaveX data if I'm not mistaken. Its definitely not a scenario. As for the booking of Matt Weise against the two Luchadores, I don't really look at it as a big man squashing two small men, I was basically just trying to squeeze some more shows out of this short story especially since one of the two Mexicans probably won't be around much longer. I like to think it has more to do with how nasty Weise is as opposed to his size. After all, he DID squash Mike Awesome on his way out the door so I think a lot of people have looked weak next to the King of the Monsters. One more thing, I feel a bit like George Lucas releasing special editions of Star Wars but I've gone back and added some things, most notably videos for PPV's and themes. I was inspired by Stallion and Nevermore's use of video so I figured I'd blatantly rip them off. :) These videos are: 1. Hey Man, Nice Shot by Filter (from NWA SHOWDOWN) 2. Battle Without Honor or Humanity by Tomoyasu Hotei (The Horsemen theme) 3. Brand New by Rhymefest w/ Kanye West (D'Lo's theme) 4. Godzilla by Blue Oyster Cult (Matt Weise's theme) 5. Intro to Its Dark Here and Hell is Hot by DMX (Showdown 2 theme) I think they're pretty good, so please check them out if you get a chance and let me know what you think. I've tried to stay pretty realistic with this diary so I know a promotion that is still only cult size wouldn't have access to music like this, especially for a TV show but here is my rationalization, FUSE is a music network and they have helped us get around all that. It works for me :rolleyes: Anyway, I think that's about it. If anyone has any guesses about Mr. Wrestling III, please send them to me in a private message, one guess per screename, and if anyone gets it, I'll find a spot for them in an upcoming episode of FUSION! Thanks for sticking with me. I think there's a lot more stories to tell here before all is said and done. Hopefully you guys want me to keep telling them. Have a great weekend everyone.

[CENTER][/CENTER] [B]From NWAwrestling.com In the world of wrestling, the only thing constant is change. Too many organizations have gotten caught up in the present only to forget about the future. Others have been willing to mortgage their future to pacify the aging stars of today. This is not the way that NWA intends to run however. Via all of our NWA affiliates, we intend to constantly have our roster stocked with eager, talented young fighters from all over the globe. Places like NWA:Florida, NWA:ECCW, and NWA:Anarchy will continue to provide the tools for these young fighters to gain the necessary experience to make an impact once the reach the top level, the NWA itself. Our top NWA scouts and trainers have advised us on some of the cream of the territorial crop so to speak and as of last Wednesday in Charlotte before FUSION, we came to terms with four talented young performers. The NWA is proud to announce the signings of Sterling James Keenan, Michael "Dropkick" Murphy, Rainman, and Dave Prazak. We feel that all four men will mature into valuable members of our roster. They will continue to gain the necessary seasoning in our Alliance territories and you can expect to see them debut on FUSION sooner rather than later.[/B] [CENTER] [/CENTER]

[CENTER][/CENTER] [B]Excerpt from the Bruce Mitchell Audio update on PWTorch.com for Friday July 14th, 2006. Wade Keller: Okay Bruce, let's switch gears away from SummerSlam and touch on the NWA for a bit. What did you think of this week's episode of FUSION? Bruce Mitchell: It seemed a little weak compared to previous weeks. I think it had to do with a lack of star power on the show. I know D'Lo was over in Japan and both Colt Cabana and the Briscoes were over in England for the big ROH/1PW show. Plus factor in only a small role from Steve Corino who has absolutely exploded in the Mid-Atlantic area, especially in Charlotte. He is generating huge amounts of heat, the kind of heat Jeff Jarrett could only dream about. Now that being said, this was still a good show in that the actual matches were very entertaining, especially Acid and Dinero taking on Damian and Halloween. WK: I know the NWA has tried to come to terms with them to make more appearances but I heard they're having some work visa issues so it may be awhile before they appear again. I do agree that the action was good but the show was somewhat lacking in star power. I believe that roster should be back up to full strength this week though so I expect them to start building to D'Lo-Masato Tanaka at Showdown 3 then. BM: Have you heard anything about the rumors of pay-per view for the NWA? I've heard some rumblings about them inquiring about booking the Silver Spur Arena in Florida for a PPV broadcast in September. WK: I've heard the same rumors you have, nothing definitive though. I've gotten a lot of no comments from people I've asked. Its risky move for them financially because if it bombs, they could be in trouble. We will have to see how this plays out. Okay now switching topics, what do you think of TNA's first ever Falls Count Anywhere on Universal Studios Islands of Adventure match between Jeff Jarrett and Brock Lesnar with special guest referee, Beetlejui.......[/B]

Again, your taking ideas, that I already have in my head for my game :-)...The Xtreme Horseman theme...I've always thought that would be a great theme for a wrestling TV show (It kind of has a retro feel to it) yet still appealing to todays tastes... i guess I'm lost on Wrestling III again...but for some reason Alex Wright just popped into my head

Nice TV show...It certainly is building to bigger things... Awesome way to elevate #3...Just when I thought Vampiro was building himself back up, he puts over Mr. Wrestling... The Briscoes are just awesome...They will win the NWA tag Titles....And cnice continuation of the dissension with Callis.. Main event simply furthered storylines with Extreme Horseman and Cabana/D'Lo
