Nice signing...He has more talent than Matt Weise (not as good promo guy) but already looking forward to your character developement with him...The Derailer is a great nick name

I've managed and been around great tag teams my whole life and Jay and Mark have the talent to go down as one of the great tag teams of all time. The hard part is that now that they have those belts, they are the target of every team in the world but that gives them a chance to prove their greatness!"

Just gotta say, the best TEW diary I've read in a while. Probably the only one I read on the GDS forums at the moment. Keep up the good work.

[CENTER][/CENTER] [B]Excerpt from the Bruce Mitchell Audio update on PWTorch.com for Friday August 11th, 2006. Wade Keller: Okay there is a lot of news on the NWA to cover today so lets get right into it. What did you think of Showdown 3? Bruce Mitchell: I thought it was a pretty good show Wade with some real good in-ring action. The main event was a very good match and the undercard was solid. The big announcement wasn't too surprising but it is an interesting move, making the jump to PPV. WK: Its a risky move for them but its not too risky. They're only going to be on PPV once every 4 months so they're not looking to oversaturate the market. The other nine months, they're still looking to run the NWA Showdown specials on Fuse although ideally they would like to move to a bigger network. BM: The problem though that I see is that with the WWE's fifteen, TNA's twelve and the the UFC's nine or ten pay-per views each year, is there room for the NWA? That is going to be interesting to see how that plays out. WK: Agreed. What about FUSION this week? What did you think of the Danger Zone? BM: Well Allison Danger being brought in is no surprise considering she's Steve Corino's sister. I was surprised to see the Necro Butcher and the Messiah though and not really surprised in a good way. I'm hoping the NWA stays away from the excessively violent hardcore crap but that doesn't seem likely with those two. WK: Well from what I heard they want to take both men in different directions than that. I know Stan Hansen and Steve Williams are working with Necro Butcher on becoming more of a pure brawler than a garbage wrestler. They're trying to mold him into becoming a modern-day Bruiser Brody. As for the Messiah, they're working with him as well trying to make him into more of a Kevin Sullivan-esque character from what I've heard. I don't expect to see any light tubes or barbed wire matches any time soon. Okay that pretty much covers everything so changing subjects, what do you think of the WWE's decision to try electro-shock therapy on Randy Orton since conventional therapy hasn't made him any less of an @sshole.....[/B]

Hey guys. I need some feedback on this. I've been working on an opening video for FUSION and wanted to see what everyone thought of this. I know the last 60 seconds is black screen, didn't figure out how to get rid of that yet. Please let me know what you think of this. Thanks!

In dark matches Rainman defeated Jody Fleisch and Nigel McGuinness defeated Sterling Keenan. [QUOTE][CENTER][/CENTER] Crazy Train by Ozzy plays and out comes "the Derailer" Matt Bloom to make his FUSION debut! [CENTER] [/CENTER] In the opening bout, Matt Bloom defeats Bison Smith by pinfall in 4:05 following the Trainwreck (two-handed choke bomb). After the bout, he gets on the mic, [B]"All aboard, the Derailer Express is now departing. Next stop, the NWA World Heavyweight Championship!"[/B] Bloom tosses the mic back to Lauren Jones, flexes once, and then heads to the back. (C+)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]The camera cuts backstage and catches Steve Corino and Jack Victory walking into the building. Jack grabs the cameraman and says, [B]"Get that little harlot Bayless in our locker room in 15 minutes. The champ has something to say. "[/B] (B+)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Becky Bayless is in the locker room with the Danger Zone. She is about to ask Allison Danger a question but gets cut off, [B]"Hush. Don't tax that little tiny brain of yours. Bimbos like you have made my life excruciating in this business. It never mattered how smart or how talented I was as long as tramps like you were bouncing around in push-up bras. Whatever it takes to please the good old boy network that runs everything right Becky? Well tonight we start tearing down that old infrastructure brick by brick with the help of my personal two man wrecking crew. Its time to go boys. Oh and Becky, try not to pull a muscle in your brain trying to figure out what I just said."[/B][/QUOTE] [QUOTE][CENTER] [/CENTER] The Necro Butcher and the Messiah defeated Doug Williams and the One Man Gang by referee's stoppage in 9:23. Doug Williams was taking a vicious beatdown and went to make the hot tag to the Gang when he and Chris Hero decided to walk away and leave him to take the beating from the Danger Zone. Following the Godsmack by the Messiah, the Butcher tagged in and tortured the Anarchist with the Asiatic Spike until blood was coming out of his mouth and referee Brian Hebner stepped in to stop the bout (B-)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] A video is aired promoting next week's main event, Colt Cabana taking on Mr. Wrestling III with the winner getting a shot at Chris Hero's North American title at A Night For Redemption! (B+)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Becky Bayless is backstage in the Horsemen's locker room with Steve Corino who is sitting on a bench while Jack Victory stands menacingly behind him with his arms folded. [B]"Mister Corino you requested this time. What is on your mind?"[/B] [B]"Mister Corino? You're learning kid. At least someone around here is showing the champ the respect he deserves. The NWA sure isn't nor is that common street thug D'Lo Brown. Apparantly I'm supposed to be all afraid of him now that he scored one fluke win over Masato Tanaka. I'm shaking D'Lo. I'm shaking in sheer terror. I have beaten you before and I will beat you again one two three. Oh and one more thing Mr. Real Deal, once I squash you like a bug again, there will be no more title shots for you. So at a Night for Redemption, I suggest you get the job done, if you can. I have a hunch though, it will end like it always does though, with the King of Old School's hand raised in victory. Let's go Jacko, we have better things to do than hang out here."

(A*)[/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Before the main event, Jim Cornette tells the viewers that Vampiro has taken an indefinate leave of absence from the NWA and from wrestling in general. Cornette says that he spoke to him just yesterday and Vampiro told him that his world is spiraling out of control and that he needs to re-evaluate everything. He told him that he may be back better than ever or he may just fade away. He doesn't know which.

Nice "Fusion" show... We get the debut of the "Derailer" ...by the way perfect ring music then a nice angle/match with OMG and Williams...Danger Zone goes over Strong...Still leave Williams with many options...Then the Champ speaks and its always good to here from the champ followed by a a nice 20 minute draw tag match (surprised a bit by outcome) Cant wait for A night of redemption!
