Assuming that Ian is going over the American jabronie

 

Bryn Archer Vs Puffy The Sand Iron Player

Both guys looking I believe for that first win. I’ll take Puffy’s short game

 

 

Cain Carlile © Vs Menace

Hmmm CC retained over Wilson (who I eventually see winning it) but I like the name Menace. I’ll stick with the champ for now

PWA 4

Paddington Club, Southern England

Friday Week 4 April 2021

Pre-show Ratings: 15 & 19

<hr>

'Are you ready?' I asked

 

'No' his voice trembled a little as the words left his mouth.

 

'Its time'

 

9 Hours Earlier

 

There was a knock on my door, and I'd been dreading this meeting, but there was only so long I could put it off for.

 

'Come in'

 

The door opened and he walked in like it was any other day, and not knowing the enormity of the situation he was in. I thought about engaging in some small talk first before diving in, but I couldn't do that to him. It was time for the band aid approach, do it quick and get it over with.

 

'Morning Jay. Thanks for coming in'

 

Jay Coward aka The Minor Annoyance stood awkwardly by the window and a view that really wasn't worth looking at, which was very much in keeping with Jay himself who had been dubbed by Total Extreme Wrestling.com to be the ugliest wrestler ever.

 

'I dont know any other way of saying this but I'm going to be pulling you from our active wrestler list...'

 

His face broke my heart. He'd been one of my first signings way back in 2007 in my Ring Of Fire stint. He even left them when I was fired and started the original PWA, and here I was dropping him.

 

'I dont kn...' he was struggling to find the words. 'Why...'

 

'We need to make a statement with PWA. We need to get people in the doors and talking about us. They need to go away going 'wow' and not, you know, 'meh'. With that in mind, I just cant put you in the ring anymore.

 

It hurt to do so but I needed to drive my point home.

 

'Do you remember your last couple of pre-show matches. We've had people talking on social media about how they were some of the worst they have ever seen. They were talking about that and not our title match.. hell they didn't even tell their followers that it was a pre-show match. We don't get that many people in at the moment, and we need them to sing our praises, not mock us'

 

Jay stood there for a moment, and wiped the tears from his eyes.

 

'So you're letting me go' he asked.

 

'Not exactly' I replied. 'I cant really put you in the ring, but that's not to say you don't have a place here at PWA'

 

It was hard to tell if Jay was actually confused or his face just looked like that.

 

'I have a plan. I want you to go out there tonight and announce your retirement...'

 

Now

 

The Minor Annoyance dashed through the backstage curtain and loped towards the ring to a wave of boos. He purposely picked out and antagonised those he could, and then took a microphone from one of our volunteers.

 

'What a bunch of losers' he began. 'Well have I got news for you...'

Ben Williams Vs Ian Vincible

 

In a bout that didn't have much heat and terrible wrestling, Ben Williams defeated Ian Vincible in 12:34 by pinfall.

At this point, we had stopped individual tracks for our workers as our volunteers changed month to month, and instead we played some generic entrance music. This time, it was played for Brian Price who slowly strutted to the ring. Currently working a legendary street thug gimmick, his presence heading to ring side was definitely felt. He took a microphone from one of our volunteers, and then raised his hand as if to backhand them and sent them scurrying away.

 

'What!' he asked the slightly concerned crowd. 'He didn't respect me.. In fact I dont think I get enough respect here. I'm undefeated here in PWA yet where is my match against the champion. Hell they gave Menace a shot, and he's lost. Where's my chance!'

 

Price eyeballed the crowd for a moment before continuing.

 

'I guess its time to prove myself to the PWA management, so here's my declaration. I'm here right now and I will take on anyone who thinks they can take me down.. You just gotta come down here to this ring, and have me lay down for three.. any takers'

 

The crowd looked towards the entrance ramp. Years of wrestling TV shows had trained them for the moment when either an underdog would try their luck and get put down, or a returning face would make a big reappearance. They were sadly disappointed and time ticked by.

 

'Yeah' Price said. 'Thats what I thought. Bunch of pussies, all of ya'

Rating: 24

 

The match was over and Cain was celebrating in the ring with his back to the backstage curtain, and didn't see Stuart Wilson come running out. The crowd did their best to try and warn him, but there wasn't enough time. Wilson was in full street gear, and hurled Cain into a ringpost before starting a beatdown'

 

'Ah told ya I wa gaun'ae leave yu beggin for yur maw i a pile o yu own teeth'

 

The kicking continued as Wilson kept shouting 'soft southern nancy' and the show ended.

I'd be interested to know peoples thought on how the angles are played out in this diary. Whilst there will be some written very much like other diarys with it all happening in the ring, I'm enjoying writing in booker errors, and backstage encounters into the angles themselves and making them about more than just what appears for the crowd

It is with deep sorrow that Mid Atlantic Wrestling announces the death of our beloved founder, and 14-time champion, Rip Chord who passed away peacefully this morning at his ranch.

 

Further announcements will be made in due course.

 

We join with all the people around the world in mourning his loss.

The show starts with Gazz Vedmore in the ring with a microphone

 

'Ladies and gentlemen' he begins. 'I've been around PWA for a few months now and its been nice to be able to do my own thing without having to carry anyone else.. but oh no.. my whiney ex tag partner Mickey Robson appears to have missed me so much that he's opted to join me here.... yay'

 

He points to the entrance curtain 'So lets all laugh at him as he gets squashed in his debut'

Being the orchestrator of last months post match attack on the PWA Champ, Stuart Wilson enters the ring to a chorus of boo's.

 

'Noo some o' ye kin waant an explanation o' whit happened lest munth. Fur some unknown reason Cain managed tae yin up me a few months back, 'n' then faces fowk that a've awready gubbed. Dae ah git a rematch.. Na! a dinnae even git invited tae wrestle oan th' neist shaw. Sae whit dae ah dae aboot it.. Ah gang oot thare 'n' demand a rematch in th' best wey maybee aye. By destroying th' champ.'

 

Wilson stays silent for a moment doing his best impersonation of an intense stare

 

'Cain Carlile.. Yer oan notice buddy.. Keep yin yak open, as yer gaun doon'

 

Now some of you may want an explanation of what happened last month. For some unknown reason Cain managed to one up me a few months back, and then faces people that I've already beaten. Do I get a rematch.. NO! I dont even get invited to wrestle on the next show.

 

So what do I do about it.. I go out there and demand a rematch in the best way possible. by destroying the champ.

 

Cain Carlile.. You are on notice buddy.. Keep one eye open, as you are going down

No. You are not imagining. Menace was recast in this show.. I went through all the picture packs and updated a number of workers, and loved this one of Menace. When I get a moment, I will be going back to old shows and updating the picture

I make the mistake of putting the wrestler winning first way too often. I had a prediction with all winners on one side of the ledger.

I’m guessing Lone Wolf is the guy that came out. His render doesn’t exactly strike fear in anyones heart so I’ll take the champ…one more time

I learnt very early on to put my match-ups in alphabetical order as it looked neater in my eyes and avoided any potential spoilers. You can either see it in the tag match

The lights dimmed and the crowd quietened down as they waiting for the show to begin. The production crew pressed play on our 'unofficial knock off' track as we looked to begin something new.

 

Loud thuds and the sound of cracking branches could be heard, followed by a loud roar of a dinosaur. What we could only describe as a 'just being different enough not to be sued' version of the well known 90's dinosaur loose in a park movie began as we pulled open the curtain to unveil...

 

Menace.. but yet it wasn't Menace. whoever this was, was wearing the attire and Elvis style mutton chops of Menace, but was in a fat suit. The lights came up to reveal The Minor Annoyances face sweating away as he gave overdramatic steps and exaggerated thuds.

 

I had no idea why, but the crowd lapped it up.

After the absurdity of the Jurassic Annoyance earlier, it was time for something serious. PWA was entering into its sixth month and had almost doubled its starting capital. Over the weeks prior to this show. I'd put some feelers out to some of Ring Of Fires old staff, and two of them had agreed to join me. It was time for their debut

 

'Ladies & Gentleman, please welcome to the ring... former ROF Tag Champion... JON MICHAEL SHARP'

 

Jon-Michael-Sharp.jpg

 

'I see some of you recognise me.. perhaps you've been up to Wigan recently. I'm fairly well known up there.

 

Those that don't know me.. Here's the TL : DR. The guy that runs this place used to work for a place I used to work for so when he asked me to come join him down here I thought to myself 'Great.. heres the chance to do something new, and not get lumped in with my old tag partner'... until I heard that he'd hired him to'

 

There was a singular cheer near the bar at the back.. Looks like all his fans were in tonight.

 

'Its time to break this cycle and make a name for myself. Oi.. Martin. Get your arse down here as I want to hand it to you'

'Muckle lik' me, ye kin hae bin peepin' lest munth as lone wolf lost tae oor 'champion'. How come oan earth did he git a shot in th' foremaist place.

 

Was it fur o' his immense skill, na! 'twas likelie fur he's bin seen oan telly recently'

 

His point was interjected, by Lone Wolf heading ringside.

 

Lone-Wolf.jpg

 

'Wilson is right' Lone Wolf began. 'I've been on TV recently, but I would hardly call it something to write home about. I came to PWA to make an impact, and I would have won last month if Cain Carlile hadn't cheated'

 

'Aye, bit ye did lose.' Wilson replied. 'Something whilk the lenth o' ah kin tell is something ye dae ferr often'

 

'Well at least the crowd can actually understand what I say'

 

The crowd let out a massive 'oooooh'

 

'Lets see howfur guid yer at talking in th' ring. Howfur aboot we hae ourselves a match th' nicht'

 

Lone Wolf stood there in silence in an attempt to exaggerate how hard it was to understand Wilson. He slowly raised up the microphone.

 

'Sure'

It really wasn't hard for The Minor Annoyance to lampoon his next wrestler. This month he came out with a tartan hat and a golf club borrowed from a crazy golf course down the road.

 

Most of the jokes were levied at Puffys inability to score in general. It was low-brow but once again made the crowd laugh

When I hired Dangermouth initially, it had been on the basis on his WWA:UK work. He seemed like a natural on the microphone and in time could be someone that really had the basics down well.

 

My concern was what to do with him in the meantime but I didn't have to stay concerned for long. It turns out that Dangermouth is actually fairly well known outside the wrestling business as a musician do we opted to put those skils to use.

 

He had gone ringside and was 'busting some lyrics' as I'd heard other people say. I'm pretty certain that I am just too old to understand these days, as it just sounded like noise to me.

 

Crowd absolutely loved it though
