The Indie Revolution: Sit Down, Marx

NowThenMates · May 20, 2020

Gresham going over everyone was a swerve I didn't expect but he is one of the best wrestlers in the world IMO so it's well deserved.

You are FLYING through this (which is totally cool, it's your diary after all). I love the concept of David Starr running a promotion for independent wrestlers, and Hero/Starr seems like a natural feud.

Don't know a ton about the AJPW guys or the RPW guys really, but I've always loved crossover shows.

I've got the whole Hero/Starr angle written, which certainly makes it easier. Lockdown is also massively beneficial!

I tend to take a break between writing each storyline, so hopefully burnout shouldn't be an issue. Good point on the date - I was going to wait until the game hit 2021 (no idea why), but I'll add it in from the next show.

STARR Promotions Statement

STARR Promotions would like to inform all fans that we are working as hard as possible to identify the two men that attacked David Starr during We the Indie IV this Sunday.

We have been in constant contact with local authorities about the issues and running future shows. Despite early concerns, we have decided to move ahead with We the Indie V next month, with additional security. We hope to have announced card out to you soon.

From a personal level, I would like to guarantee the safety of any fan in attendance at our shows. We would never allow other members of the public to put you in danger and are ramping up our security efforts to ensure nothing like this happens again. I would also like to reach out to the two men who attacked me last weekend. When you launched that attack ,you didn't just attack me. Stealing that belt was an attack on our independent movement. You ripped that away from every single independent wrestler on the planet. Including yourselves.

At We the Indie V, I will be waiting for you in the middle of the ring. Let's see how tough you all are, face-to-face.

Stay safe

David Starr

I hated every drop of blood in that mans body - but I've always respected him. He's a fighter. Like me and Homicide, he fought in promotions across the US, Japan, Europe. He is an independent wrestling icon. We are independent wrestling icons. I have fought in this business for 20 years. I have fought reality for even longer. My battle scars pushed me to the top of the independent scene and now you're here, crying about fairness? About equal pay and medical insurance? You don't have what it takes David Starr. The generation before you put their bodies through wars for nothing, in the hopes of recognition. To build a scene your generation could thrive on. You don't dare do that. You know you couldn't rise to the top in this business, so you've created a message to appeal to the youth around you. Rather than letting them rise above you, you created an ideology to keep them down. This belt in the ring? It means nothing. You can take it back on one condition. STARR Promotions next show? The main event of that is going to be Eddie Kingston vs. David Starr." On the ramp way, Starr's eye widened as he clearly struggles to hide a look of concern. He takes a big deep breath, before nodding and accepting Kingston's challenge. "I know why you're scared David - I know what your next special is and you know I'm going to kill you. So ladies and gentlemen, get ready to buy your tickets. Eddie Kingston is going to kill David Starr when STARR Promotions Presents... Josh Barnett's Bloodsport." </div></blockquote> Segment Rating: 48 <img alt="buEhMpn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/buEhMpn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="V8E9lTf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/V8E9lTf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="49810" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">ACH defeated Flamita in 22:04 via pinfall with a Dragon Fly</div></div></blockquote> Segment Rating: 55 Main Event <img alt="97t8xLZ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/97t8xLZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="uCOSgtY.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/uCOSgtY.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> vs. <img alt="LHIu3iG.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LHIu3iG.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="4ly7JXt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4ly7JXt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="49810" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">The Swords of Essex defeated The Motor City Machine Guns in 27:30 when Will Ospreay pinned Chris Sabin after a 630 Senton</div></div></blockquote> Segment Rating: 81 Show Rating: 70</div>

I can't be the only one who read Kingston's promo in his voice. I could see him saying everything you wrote, so good job!

vs.

Eddie Kingston defeated David Starr in 2:24 via knockout

Segment Rating: 52

Eddie Kingston and Homicide stand over the body of David Starr. Kingston grabs a mic as Homicide lifts Starr, teasing another vertebreaker.

"I told you David Starr, I was going to kill you and I've never made a statement that I've failed to deliver."

Homicide delivers the Vertebreaker and Kingston goes over to Starr but the two are interrupted.

Chris Hero makes his first appearance since his suspension last October. He enters the ring and eyes up David Starr as Kingston and Homicide make way for him. Rather than attacking Starr, Hero squares up to Kingston and slaps the microphone out of his hand. Kingston and Hero share some inaudible trash talk before Kingston and Homicide and slip away. Hero makes his way back up the ramp, before refuses to help Starr on his way.
