Self Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 FINISH HIM As you can guess from me asking about finishes, this is something I wanted to look at. On the indy scene, a lot of guys are trying to come up with the next cool move, to get them noticed by the internet and whatever, but a lot of the time they're shooting themselves in the foot. Simple moves executed well do better with 90% of casual fans that complicated innovation done "Yeah, kinda". I got my best results with a) Roll ups, feet on the ropes. b) "something off the top". or c) a move that kids recognised from TV. RKO's. Stunners. Cross Rhodes. A really bad Pedigree one time. So who are the wrestling stars on Australian C-Verse TV? Surprisingly... not a lot of promotions are big over here. USPW are the most popular (78 average pop) followed by RAW (73) and then you have 21CW following waaaaaay back (22). So I narrowed my focus to the top guys in the top two companies, and used Wrestling Spirit 3 to find out their moves. In alphabetical order... Alicia Strong (USPW) Angel Driver (Arrow Suplex)Blake Belushi (RAW) Axe KickFrogue Element (RAW) Frog SplashJoss Thompson (USPW World Champion) Clean Cutter (Spinning Back Suplex Bomb)Loxley Robbins (RAW) Double Underhook PowerbombLuke Steele (RAW) Steele Crusher (Over Shoulder Backbreaker Hold)Maurice Jackson (RAW) Rolling DDTNicky Champion (USPW) Hawkeye Hammer (Double Underhook Facebuster)Rich Money (USPW) Dollars From Heaven (Frog Splash)Steve Frehley (USPW) Frehley's Comet (Tornado Face Slam F5) or Dark Destroyer Spear (trademark)Swoop McCarthy (RAW) Running PowerslamTrent Shaffer (USPW) Heart Burn (Lung Blower) So there's a little idea of what Aussie C-verse kids buy as finishes. How do my guys stack up? Again, I use WreSpi3 for the 'canon' moves, where available. SATISFYING ENDINGS D-POD - Moves off of the top rope aren't all that impressive on TV these days, but seeing it live? It has an impact. As a smaller guy, I was often given the duty of finishing with "something off the top". I used an Elbow, but D-Pod's Moonsault is even better. Flippier. Great stuff. GOD OF WAR - The Powerbomb is a high impact classic. Lifts them high. Drops them loud. MAULER - I thought the Running Powerslam was pretty meh. Boring, but fine for a big, bulky, old school brawler... but it turns out Swoop McCarthy uses it as a finish on a weakly basis on RAW. So it's perfect and believable. PAT RIGSBY - The Piledriver is a classic, and Rigsby's matches focus on telling the story of his Stuff Piledriver variation. Awesome. SURFER DUDE LUCAS - I'm not wild on the Angle/Olympic Slam as a move, and I don't know of anyone on C-Verse TV in Australia who is using it to get it over to the kids, but Lucas' bio specifies just how "impressive" his Spinning Angled Slam variant is, so it's gotta be good. WES SCHNORFESST - The Schnorfesst Bomb is a Spinning Back Suplex Bomb, which is not only super cool and flashy, but also used on a regular basis by Joss Thompson on TV. Although I have been wanting Wes to use a Sleeper, for the pun. IT'LL DO MICHEL BERNARD - MMA rise has made submissions like the Cross Armlock more viable in the last ten years, but he's a heel, and it's not too often I'm going to want my babyfaces tapping out. It's hard to protect a never-say-die attitude when they're literally quitting a match. Again, MMA makes it more palatable, so the move isn't a total write off. Possibly a choke/sleeper would be better. TREY TALLMAN - The TDT is a regular DDT, which once upon a time was a viable finish (was it Rip Chord's in the C-Verse?) but has been ruined by being used as a transition spot for decades. I assume it's that way in the C-Verse too. So Tallman (similar to Moonchild) has been winning with a lot of Cradles recently. I could see the Hawkeye Hammer/Pedigree working for him. JESSE TASMAN - His default move is a Fireman's Carry Slam. I don't consider it as weak looking as some (lift 'em high, drop them with a big bang) but I don't know of a John Cena type getting that move over on Australian TV. Plus it thematically overlapped with what I thought I wanted for Tallman. Plus Jesse wrestles a lot of big guys, and he isn't a powerhouse. So I stole the Tornado Bulldog from Bounce Buchanan to give Jesse more of an underdog out-of-nowhere finish. It'll do. ELVIS ROBINSON - Now this powerhouse could get the AA over. Instead, he has the Wrist Clutch Exploder, which is a bit fancy, a bit fussy (how does the wrist clutch make it better?) and I find exploders to be a shallow bump. Not lifting very high. THE BAT MEN - Three Strikes. Yooooooou're Out!. What is it? What does it sound like? They hit a guy three times and knock him out. Possibly with some bat-swinging and/or pitching motions. They're brawlers. I like the pun, but it isn't going to set the world on fire. LIKE A FART IN CHURCH MOONCHILD - Legdrops are cool. Legdrop off the 2nd Rope? Less cool. Not that I really want Mr-Break-Your-Fingers to add more risk to his move, or landing on his ass from that height several times a week. Or the top moves on TV, maybe the Axe Kick would work best for him, given his long limbs, but I'm not sold. DEE LUCKETTI - The Front Roll Legsweep is the kind of innovative, interesting move I have no use for on my Beach. A Forward Russian Legsweep, but he does a roll with it? Could be really cool with months of TV build, but in front of a new crowd? They'll be confused over who did what, to who, and how? Dee's a heel, so he's more likely to cheat to win, and as a babyface, I'd want him coming off the top. I had him use the Canadian Dee-Stroyer recently (for the pun) and while it's effective it's too impressive for his current role. ICE ICE DAVEY - The Icey Blast is a Hot Shot (drop them throat first on the rope) which is bleh. He's been using the Cold Shoulder, which is a fun pun but not much more than a shoulder tackle. Not sure. Maybe him and Dee need a tag finish. SMASHER - I don't think this is in Wrestling Spirit, so I have the Smash Hammer is as a basic elbow drop. He's a big dude. It would look... fine... I guess? No. It's bad. TOBY TOUGH - His Tough Enough is a Running Hot Shot (running and leaping over the top rope, hanging the guy on the rope) and it sucks. He has to climb back in the ring after, and it's too fancy and athletic for a wannabe tough guy brawler. <table width="90%"><tr><td width="30%" align="center" valign="center"> Saturday Week 3 November 2020 Coolum Beach, Sunshine Coast, Queensland 156 in attendance $1,560 Gate</td><td width="70%" align="left" valign="center">(4 months ago, Michel Bernard celebrated becoming Sunshine Coast Champion, and cheated to defend against Wes Schnorfesst.)

I'm enjoying his partnership with Davey, but there's no denying Dee works best in spotfests. It's a real shame Slugger & Davey have poor chemistry.

Unfortunately, we have the River City Rumble next month, with 20 guys on the card. That's a big wage bill. I plan to start 2021 slow. Just the Gold/Sunshine shows for Q1, then a big School Holiday tour in early April. I'm thinking Yeppoon (7hr North of Brisbane), Barney Beach near Gladstone (6hr North of Brisbane) and Bongaree on Bribie Island (between Brisbane & Sunshine Coast). The first two will be very formulaic, standard shows, but I'll need something fancier for the third. Some of those fans have either come to a Brisbane/Caloundra show, or could in the future.

It's not something I usually take into account, unless I specifically hate one of the workers finishers. Aus-Dev is a nice pick up, love the deception gimmick. Starting to lose a good bit of money now, Dale might want to take that cut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zergon Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 BEACH Wrestling on the Gold Coast (Saturday Week 2 December 2020) Mermaid Beach Gold Coast Heavyweight Title: Surfer Dude Lucas vs Trey Tallman i don´t think you would hot shot the belt back to Lucas but this won´t be clean either so someone is going to interfere and likely start a feud with Lucas to take his attention away from the belt. Australian Devil, Smasher & Mauler vs D-Pod, Moonchild & Jesse Tasman You said Devil is on short term deal and that will put him below other established wrestlers in my eyes until proven otherwise. Pat Rigsby vs Elvis Robinson Robinson continues to gain valuable experience but don´t think he will beat Rigsby, at least not in main show. Michel Bernard vs Lee Wilkes Wilkes is on similar position than Devil except even more so since he lost to Devil in his debut. BEACH Wrestling on the Sunshine Coast (Saturday Week 3 December 2020) Caloundra Sunshine Coast Bubbleweight Title: Australian Devil vs D-Pod Again, similar logic with Devil expect more so with belt on line Lucketti, Davey & God of War vs Elvis & The Bat Men Thinking this is the place to give Elvis his occasional win. Mauler vs Moonchild S&M need few wins to keep themselves near the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regis Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 BEACH Wrestling on the Gold Coast (Saturday Week 2 December 2020) Mermaid Beach Gold Coast Heavyweight Title: Surfer Dude Lucas vs Trey Tallman I don't think this is going to be the biggest hotshot of all. Australian Devil, Smasher & Mauler vs D-Pod, Moonchild & Jesse Tasman We need a big Face win to counteract the main event. Pat Rigsby vs Elvis Robinson Elvis is good, but he doesn't have a hard enough head. Michel Bernard vs Lee Wilkes MB is pretty damn good. BEACH Wrestling on the Sunshine Coast (Saturday Week 3 December 2020) Caloundra Sunshine Coast Bubbleweight Title: Australian Devil vs D-Pod He's flashy and popular, and maybe one day he'll bulk up a bit. Lucketti, Davey & God of War vs Elvis & The Bat Men These guys will be fine. Mauler vs Moonchild He's so big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarly Dropkick! 1… 2… Kick out!</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="ZCrYiA6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZCrYiA6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="N9lm9tI.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/N9lm9tI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7oRKlJM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7oRKlJM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Tallman’s panicking but Taniko summons her minions to help.

Regis Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 The River City Rumble (Saturday Week 4 December 2020) Streets Beach, Brisbane Wiiner Enters Rumble Last, Loser Enters First: Smasher vs Surfer Dude Lucas The Dungeon cheats to get Smasher his victory, and Lucas becomes the underdog. No DQ Beach Brawl: Dee Lucketti & Ice Ice Davey vs The Bat Men The Bat Men have failed to impress me. Michel Bernard vs Elvis Robinson Elvis went over Pat, but Michel isn't going to be outsmarted by a rookie. Diesel Dan vs Whirlwind Lee Wilkes I don't know who Diesel Dan is, so let's give Wilkes the nod. 20-Man Rumble Match: Australian Devil, Dee Lucketti, Diesel Dan, D-Pod, Elvis Robinson, God of War, Ice Ice Davey, Jesse Tasman, Mauler, Michel Bernard, Moonchild, Pat Rigsby, SLugger, Smasher, Surfer Dude Lucas, Syrus, Toby Tough, Trey Tallman, Wes Schnorfesst, Whirlwind Lee Wilkes Winner: Surfer Dude Lucas Final Four: Surfer Dude Lucas, Smasher, Mauler, Trey Tallman Most Eliminations: Surfer Dude Lucas Iron Man: Surfer Dude Lucas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zergon Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Wiiner Enters Rumble Last, Loser Enters First: Smasher vs Surfer Dude Lucas Thinking Smasher wins here because on interferences to make Lucas go first and keeping him looking strong in rumble without needing to win it. No DQ Beach Brawl: Dee Lucketti & Ice Ice Davey vs The Bat Men No DQ feels like it should favor Bat Men, well unless GoW decides to come out and play. Michel Bernard vs Elvis Robinson Bernard is higher on the ladders. Diesel Dan vs Whirlwind Lee Wilkes I´m not particularly experienced with Australian scene on TEW2020 but I´d assume Diesel has more name value thansk to his time in DIW. 20-Man Rumble Match: Australian Devil, Dee Lucketti, Diesel Dan, D-Pod, Elvis Robinson, God of War, Ice Ice Davey, Jesse Tasman, Mauler, Michel Bernard, Moonchild, Pat Rigsby, SLugger, Smasher, Surfer Dude Lucas, Syrus, Toby Tough, Trey Tallman, Wes Schnorfesst, Whirlwind Lee Wilkes Winner: Jesse Tasman Final Four: Surfer Dude Lucas, Jesse Tasman, Smasher & Trey Tallman Most Eliminations: Surfer Dude Lucas Iron Man: Surfer Dude Lucas Thinking Lucas is kept strong here but that he´s ain winning, thus he has to start and keeps fighting the odds until only four remain in switch point I assume he gets double teamed by which ever Taniko´s men are still in the match. Giving Tasman the win here, there´s probably not instant title shot on the line here with champion in this but thinking winning this could still build towards that direcction and help Jesse beome a challenger while Lucas likely keeps himself busy with rest of Taniko´s guys.

Self Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Life has unfortunately hit me a couple of times since I last posted. First, I had to put my cat down. He'd been sick (why I missed the last deadline) but he was young and I expected him to get better, so it blindsided me. Then a few days later I was told I'm being made redundant. So I've spent a month spinning out, bouncing from frantic scrambling and hopeless nihilism. I'll be fine. A lot of folks have been dealing with being unemployed during a pandemic since March. The project isn't dead. I'll jump back in when the time is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
