eayragt Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Are you able to do me a favour and put how DQs come about if it's not interference? It's just really odd seeing Trapesi being DQ'd, as a face, and having no idea how it happened. EEE World Heavyweight: Valiant vs. Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Star’ George Trapesi © Does Valiant need this? No. Will it work? Yes EEE Intercontinental: Honest Frank Jr vs. Charlie Corner © A lot of rematches on this card which could go the other way, including this one. Although if it does, I've got this prediction wrong.

TCP1 Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 EEE Summer Slamboree 2024 Sunday, Week 4, August 2024 Greenwalt Dome, New York City, New York Attendance: 46,956SINGLES MATCH Angry Gilmore vs. Trent ShafferThe show kicks off with a singles match which could’ve been a main event a little over a year ago. The two old rivals had little else to do but fight. Fortunately they both love fighting. Angry Gilmore’s search for a young tag team partner has been temporarily put on hold, but weeks of losing with a variety of rookies means he was a little off his game. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer never is. In a somewhat one-sided shoeing, Trent is all business with the middle-aged and crazy opposition and finishes relatively quickly with a Heart burn for the win. In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Trent Shaffer defeated Angry Gilmore in 9:49 by pinfall with a Heart Burn. Rating: 69 EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH Honest Frank Jr vs. Charlie Corner (c) In the battle of two of our youngest and hottest stars; there is a sense of talking the truth into existence. Corner has remained unwaveringly nice and kind to Frank Jr, which has thrown the well-known grouch to get confused. Following a cheat-to-win victory last month, Charlie Corner continues cheating in this match, although he always makes sure to apologise for doing so immediately afterwards. Then, towards the end with Honest Frank Jr actually getting some momentum, he calls for Dreadnought who accidentally hits Frank Jr, allowing Corner to steal a pinfall and the win. Having somewhat blamed Dreadnought before when it wasn’t his fault, we have to wonder how the second-generation superstar will deal with a situation where Dreadnought was partly to blame. In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Charlie Corner defeated Honest Frank Jr in 9:34 by pinfall with a Corner Cutter following botched interference by Dreadnought. Charlie Corner makes defence number six of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 69 TAG TEAM MATCH The VCC vs. Samoan Wrecking Crew In a short match, the newly toughened and impressive VCC took their bigger and more physically impressive opponents apart. This wasn’t just a squash, it was an extended squash where The VCC could showcase a variety of their new submission moves. Throughout the whole match Bryan Vessey was throwing out advice and barking orders on which limb to target next. It was about as dominant win as a tag team can get. In a decent match, The VCC defeated Samoan Wrecking Crew in 8:29 when JP Barnham submitted Loa Afu with a Golden Scissors. Rating: 63 SINGLES MATCH Prime Time Jack Pryde vs. ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton In the second match-up between the former partners, Billy ‘The Brain’ Keelan was neutralised early one. Prime Time having learnt his lesson from the last match destroyed the agent before the bell even ran, meaning a stretcher had to be brought out. The Perfect One, unphased took out his frustrations and losses from the last month on his former best friend. But it isn’t long before the betrayed begins to regain control. It’s a wild brawl between two of the hottest stars in the wrestling industry and goes back and forth, making up for with intensity, what it lacks in psychology. Just when it looks like Prime Time might finally avenge the betrayal, The Perfect One reaches into his trunks without the referee spotting and clobbers his opponent with brass knuckles. With the crowd mutinous, Pep covers Prime Time for the 1-2-3. In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Pepper Pelton defeated Prime Time Jack Pryde in 9:36 by pinfall after using a foreign object. Rating: 72 SINGLES MATCH The Eagle vs. The Masked Mauler In the Battle for the Heart and Soul of Empire Elite Entertainment, the two bruising middleweight wrestlers; The Eagle and The Masked Mauler spend ten minutes chopping one another. It’s an oddly therapeutic match consisting almost entirely of basic moves performed viciously. Unlike in their most recent match-up, this time it’s The Masked Mauler who gets the edge and is able to best The Eagle, finishing with the classic Piledriver to win. Whether this makes the Mauler the actual heart and soul of the company remains as mysterious as both men’s backstories. In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, The Masked Mauler defeated The Eagle in 10:20 by pinfall with a Piledriver. Rating: 64 EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH The Fantastic Express vs. The Twin Powers (c) In a rematch, the former multi-time NYCW tag team champions attempt to fulfil their destiny and claim their first EEE World Tag Team Titles from the dominant Twin Powers tag team. With Billy Keelan having been removed to the hospital thanks to the assault from Prime Time; The Twin Powers enter the match alone. This is less of an issue when you’re both gigantic, nasty brawlers like Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Andrew Harper are. As expected; The Fantastic Express use their dynamic high-flying offense, combined with a more grounded submission-based attack specifically to take the big men off their feet and remove the power move advantage. For some time it works and a number of near-falls have the crowd on the edge of their seats. With the match reaching a wonderful rhthym, The Biggins Boys make a shocking return to the company after their destruction at the hands of the champions. Their timing couldn’t be worse for The Fantastic Express, who miss an obvious pinfall when the referee is distracted by the spontaneous brawl outside the ring. Having seen enough, the referee calls for the bell and disqualifies the champions. In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated The Twin Powers in 9:38 when Andrew Harper was counted out fighting Bart Biggins at ringside. Rating: 70 SINGLES MATCH Fro Sure vs. Monty Trescarde Following his defeat at the hands of Davis Wayne Newton and his victory over Monty last month, Fro Sure finds himself up against again in the rematch. Even though Monty is without Billy ‘The Brain’ Keelan to start the match, the evil taxman does not hold back in his attacks. Realising that he lost due to the dynamic attacks of Fro Sure last time, Trescarde brings the match down to a much slower pace. Hoping to rely on the old adage that ‘the longer the match goes, the better Monty Trescarde gets.’ But you can’t keep a man like Fro Sure down for too long and as he begins to mount a comeback, the crowd are firmly on his side. What he was not accounting for though, was the return of a hobbling and bandaged Billy Keelan who is able to grab one of Fro Sure’s feet. Distracting him for long enough for Monty to hit the Cash Bonus and the win. In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Monty Trescarde defeated Fro Sure in 22:26 by pinfall with a Cash Bonus after Billy Keelan interfered. Rating: 81 SINGLES MATCH Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus The feud between The Ace and The Georgia Bulldog has been heated and long-lasting. McManus’ refusal to forgive Andrews for coming into the company and ‘stealing his spot’ has lead the former collegiate star on a rampage of attacks and assaults. To his credit, Andrews has matched the intensity of the former champion as both men enter the rubber match. And what a match it is, blending multiple styles as our two best ring general performers help each other reach new heights in one of the best matches of the year so far. Neither man gives an inch in a rollercoaster affair. But when all is said and down, Riley McManus lifts Andrews for the Slingshot Suplex, but can’t hold him. The Ace escapes the move and hits a quick Flying Body Press to finally shut the door on the feud and firmly establish himself as an EEE stalwart. In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Aaron Andrews defeated Riley McManus in 23:16 by pinfall with a Flying Body Press. Rating: 83 EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Valiant vs. Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Star’ George Trapesi (c) After being treated to an incredible show top to bottom, the audience at the Greenwalt Dome are red hot for the main event. Each of the men enter slowly and methodically and we have a big match feel, complete with darkened lights on the fans and spotlight overheads. The biggest cheer of the night goes to Valiant, while Davis Wayne Newton is met with a cascade of boos, which he seems to love. And the match begins… It's fair to say that Valiant does not have the stamina or explosive attributes of his opponents and for large portions of the near-half-an-hour match-time he is unconscious on the floor outside. Trapesi and Newton have obviously identified him as the threat and are happy to tear lumps out of one another to continue their feud. Despite being out for most of the match, Valiant makes a series of last-minute saves which peak the crowd and keep the heat on the match. Then as the match reaches it's peak, Davis Wayne Newton has the STF locked-in on a beaten George Trapesi. Just as it looks like he's going to tap out, Valiant again makes the save. With DWN’s hair in his hands, Valiant lines up a V-Split. He bounces off the ropes, with DWN on his knees in perfect position as Trapesi comes over the top of the prone DWN and delivers a smashing Star Maker Lariat. A quick Super Kick to keep DWN down and the champ covers the All-American Patriot, making sure to hook both legs as the crowd count along with the pinfall. In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, George Trapesi defeated Valiant and Davis Wayne Newton in 24:22 when George Trapesi pinned Valiant with a Star Maker Lariat. George Trapesi makes defence number thirteen of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 82 OVERALL RATING: 81 And that is how you do that. Next time… have we accidentally crippled the merchandising machine that is Valiant… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems my mind was completely different to most of you guys on this one. Oof. What's annoying is that for those with reasons, I can totally see why you chose the way you did and in retrospect; I believe your choices were probably the best and mine... well mine caused me some trouble in the immediate aftermath. But congrats to Herrbear and ToastyCenturion who managed to give it a good old college try. And to those beyond that, I feel the need to apologise somewhat. But I'm not going to. Because this is professional wrestling... and you never apologise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted July 11, 2022 Author Share Posted July 11, 2022 New York City… where there isn’t a gift horse we haven’t looked in the mouth… Summer Slamboree was a stellar success on paper with 743,851 viewers and $557,696 profit made. In terms of merchandising the clean loss taken by Valiant had not seemed to have harmed his incredible run. Monthly Merchandise: 1. Valiant - $545,439 (+$24,568) 2. Aaron Andrews - $69,351 (+$11,535) 3. Charlie Corner - $50,035 (+$21,929) 4. Prime Time Jack Pryde - $47,347 (+$13,970) 5. George Trapesi - $36,666 (+$2,200) 6. Fro Sure - $35,443 (+$6,479) 7. Davis Wayne Newton - $17,131 (+$8,312) 8. Angry Gilmore - $12,231 (-$3,667) 9. Emma Chase - $12,162 (+$1,555) 10. Zippy Deverell - $10,440 (+$579) Charlie Corner’s continued dominance was making him something of a breakout star in the company and I personally couldn’t have been more delighted as I was genuinely worried a year or so ago that he’d never take the first steps to fulfilling his great potential. In wrestling news from around the world, we discovered that Brother Grimm and his upstart Grimm SoCal Wrestling had finally closed it’s doors after years of financial mismanagement. I’d like to say I was sad, but really they were a one-trick pony who failed to adapt in the long run. The circle of wrestling life continues to spin as news reaches me that Eddie Chandler has founded Gateway City Wrestling in St. Louis. We’d watch their progress with great interest. From our point of view, with Summer Slamboree in the books, it was time to churn the roster and spin the storylines to move people up and down. Valiant’s short stint in the World Heavyweight Title scene was broadly at an end. I had almost booked myself into a corner with his victory at the Rip Chord Invitational as I didn’t particularly want him to lose, but I also wasn’t keen to put the title on him either. EEE All Star Wrestling #29 Friday, Week 1, September 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 12,149 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton is out and he’s furious. He demands President Sam Keith gets out here at once. President Keith says he understands his frustration. DWN cuts him off and says he doesn’t understand anything. He, DWN, the Canadian Hero is the uncrowned World Heavyweight Champion. He’s already beaten the champ and on Sunday Trapesi pinned Valiant. But he’s never pinned him. So he wants his one-on-one match. Valiant storms the ring to attack and DWN stands his ground. Trent Shaffer and Riley McManus then strike to attack the American Hero, but in the confusion DWN once again gets hit and knocked out. Valiant then chases off Shaffer and McManus. Rating: 88 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Chip Martin vs. The Masked Mauler In a decent match, The Masked Mauler defeated Chip Martin in 10:19 by submission with an Iron Claw. Rating: 60 [*]ANGLE: Prime Time Jack Pryde is in the hospital. He’s having a crisis of confidence. He knows Pep beat him and he’s a big man and can take the loss. But the beating after the match has landed him here, in Weston Hospital. But once he’s recovered, he’s hitting the gym, getting in training and when the time is right he’ll get his revenge. The Perfect One better watch his back, because come Hell of high water, Prime Time will get his hands on him. Rating: 81 [*]EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: ‘The Stud’ Phil Anders vs. Charlie Corner (c) In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Charlie Corner defeated Phil Anders in 10:18 by pinfall with a Corner Cutter. Charlie Corner makes defence number seven of the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 69 [*]ANGLE: After the match Honest Frank Jr and Dreadnought attack and beat California Cool down. Rating: 63 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bradley Blaze vs. Crusher Toko In a decent match, Crusher Toko defeated Bradley Blaze in 10:27 by pinfall with a Brainbuster Suplex. Rating: 59 [*]ANGLE: Backstage The Fantastic Express are arguing with The Biggins Boys. They thought the old men had retired. But instead they’re being a pain in their asses again! The Biggins feel that after a break they’ve still got lots to give. And tonight, they’re going to beat The Fantastics like they used to and get a shot at The Twin Powers. Rating: 81 [*]NO.1 CONTENDERS TAG TEAM MATCH: The Biggins Boys vs. The Fantastic Express In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated The Biggins Boys in 9:58 when Zippy Deverell pinned Bart Biggins with a Fantastic Flashbang. Rating: 76 [*]ANGLE: Sam Keith announces that the main event will be a tag team match and regarding the number one contender to the World Title. Next week, for the first time in EEE history, we will have a SIX-PACK CHALLENGE MATCH, one fall to a finish between Davis Wayne Newton, Trent Shaffer, Riley McManus, Aaron Andrews, Valiant and… The Perfect One Pepper Pelton. Rating: 92 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: George Trapesi & Valiant vs. Trent Shaffer & Riley McManus In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Trent Shaffer and Riley McManus defeated George Trapesi and Valiant in 10:06 when Trent Shaffer pinned George Trapesi while using the ropes for leverage. Rating: 80 [*]OVERALL RATING: 82 – 0.73 (554,930 viewers) If that doesn’t put the cat amongst the pigeons I don’t know what will. In terms of wrestling news between shows, the only thing of note was Roderick Remus signing with USPW as they continue to hoover up as much talent as they can. EEE All Star Wrestling #30 Friday, Week 2, September 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 12,012 [*]ANGLE: President Sam Keith brings out the six challengers and explains the rules of tonight’s main event. He explains that it’s only pinfall and only one of them. So whoever wants it the most, gets it. He points out that there’s no point teaming up (and he looks at Riley and Trent) and may the best man win. The six begin to shove one another, until Sirius kicks in and ‘The Star’ George Trapesi appears at the entrance and holds up the World Heavyweight Title. Rating: 84 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Porkchop Patterson vs. Monty Trescarde In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Monty Trescarde defeated Porkchop Patterson in 8:11 by pinfall with a Cash Bonus. Rating: 54 [*]ANGLE: Trent and Riley are backstage with Thom talking tactics. When Barrowman mentions that their team will be of no use, they initially laugh it off, but then suspiciously look at one another. Rating: 82 [*]SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. Taylor Mitchell In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Eagle defeated Taylor Mitchell in 7:50 by pinfall with a Freedom Slam. Rating: 53 [*]ANGLE: Valiant and Andrews are now being interviewed and they fully expect each other to beat on anyone to get the win. They shake hands and say ‘May the best man win.’ Rating: 90 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Angry Gilmore & Flip Simpkins vs. Samoan Wrecking Crew In a decent match, Samoan Wrecking Crew defeated Angry Gilmore and Flip Simkins in 7:54 when Loa Laki pinned Angry Gilmore with a Samoan Splash. Rating: 56 [*]ANGLE: After the match Angry Gilmore beats Flip Simpkins for failing to live up to his lofty expectations. Rating: 72 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Fro Sure vs. Texas Hangman In a decent match, Fro Sure defeated Texas Hangman in 8:13 by pinfall with a Sure Thing. Rating: 68 [*]ANGLE: The final interview segment involves Davis Wayne Newton and Perfect Pepper Pelton. DWN points out that he’s been caught out by the endless teams and groups around here. He congratulates his friend Billy ‘The Brain’ Keelan on getting a shot for the fastest-rising star in the company. But, he warns him about getting the rest of the Family involved. Rating: 92 [*]SIX-PACK CHALLENGE MATCH: Aaron Andrews vs. Valiant vs. Trent Shaffer vs. Riley McManus vs. Davis Wayne Newton vs. Perfect Pepper Pelton In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton defeated Valiant, Trent Shaffer, Riley McManus, Aaron Andrews and Perfect Pepper Pelton in 19:54 when Davis Wayne Newton submitted Perfect Pepper Pelton with a STF after interference from The Keelan Family, The Fantastic Express and George Trapesi. Rating: 82 [*]OVERALL RATING: 83 – 0.75 (565,803 viewers), 0.04 Canada and Japanese PPV (24,701 buys) Massive win for DWN as he’s able to avoid any of the multitude of interfering groups and teams. Proving that even working alone, he can get the job done. We were building to the next Supershow: Last Chance… The moniker was a nice, vague wrestling-like title for a show with limited specialist appeal. The main event of Davis Wayne Newton and George Trapesi had plenty of heat, but the show lacked gimmicks. Regardless, I was on my way to The Ministry for my monthly visit to stand in the crowd of the NYCW show. Sometimes it’s hard to really let go. NYCW Welcome to New York 2024 The Ministry, New York City 1,000 (SOLD OUT!?!) Joey Minnesota defeated Denny King – 66 Sandman Winks defeated Ray Snow to retain the NYCW Nationwide Title – 56 Marco Gonzalez defeated Texas Hangman – 43 Jay Silver defeated Leonardo Fry – 35 Christian Plotcheck defeated Blue Dragon – 37 Bowden Snoop defeated Karl Greyjoy – 39 Merlin Putin defeated Velocidad Jr – 26 Benjamin Reeves defeated Melvin Walkinshaw - 18 OVERALL RATING: 52 Still not enough title defenses, but good to see Big Jon Walker’s real life brother get a try-out match (Melvin Walkinshaw). It did not go all that well though. Still he was young, he could bounce back. After the show an old-looking Joey Minnesota asked me if I could call him up to the main roster again. I politely refused the request and told him he was doing great work right here. He was not pleased, but at least I was honest with him. EEE All Star Wrestling #31 Friday, Week 3, September 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,763 [*]ANGLE: Valiant comes out. He needs to get some things off his chest. Mainly about that Canadian Puke; Davis Wayne Newton. Having won the Rip Chord Invitational, he deserves a World Title shot, but because DWN complained he just kept getting shot after shot. That isn’t the American way, but obviously it’s the Canadian way. DWN better keep his eyes peeled though, because Valiant has his card marked. Rating: 82 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Valiant vs. Spike Sylvain In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Valiant defeated Spike Sylvain in 8:11 by pinfall with a V-Split. Rating: 70 [*]ANGLE: Bryan Vessey is backstage telling The VCC to be mindful of their opponents. There are no easy wins from no on. But he wants them to target limbs, exploit weak-spots and don’t be afraid to stretch, twist and break bones if it gets the job done. The path to glory begins now. Rating: 63 [*]TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The VCC vs. The Razorbacks In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The VCC defeated The Razorbacks in 8:12 when JP Barnham submitted TJ Brown with a Golden Scissors. Rating: 56 [*]ANGLE: George Trapesi and Davis Wayne Newton sign the contract for the match at the Supershow. While they’re doing so, The Keelan Family, the Fantastic Express, McManus, Andrews, Valiant and Shaffer hit the ring leading to a mass brawl where Bulldozer Brandon Smith accidentally clotheslines DWN over the top rope and through a table. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bryan Jewett vs. Honest Frank Jr In a decent match, Honest Frank Jr defeated Bryan Jewett in 7:33 by pinfall with a Roll The Dice. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: The Twin Powers are backstage with Billy Keelan, when Angry Gilmore marches by. They make an off-hand comment, which he hears. He squares up to his old foe Bulldozer and tells them to lace it up. He’s having a shot at their titles right now. Billy Keelan points out he doesn’t have a partner. Gilmore looks around and points at the skinny Stevie Stanley, who is eating a sandwich. “Hey fatty, put the sandwich down, we’ve got tag team titles to win.” Rating: 76 [*]EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Angry Gilmore & Stevie Stanley vs. The Twin Powers (c) In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Twin Powers defeated Angry Gilmore and Stevie Stanley in 7:36 when Bulldozer Brandon Smith pinned Stevie Stanley following Stereo Powerbombs. The Twin Powers make defence number five of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 64 [*]ANGLE: Charlie Corner is pretty close to losing his temper. He’s never done that before and he feels sort of happy and sick. That must be was anger is. And he is feeling it course through his body. In two weeks at the Supershow: Last Chance, he’s going to give Honest Frank Jr and his giant butler exactly what they’ve been asking for. Rating: 86 [*]EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: The Masked Mauler vs. ‘The Star’ George Trapesi (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, George Trapesi defeated The Masked Mauler in 21:25 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. George Trapesi makes defence number fourteen of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 78 [*]OVERALL RATING: 79 – 0.73 (533,560 viewers), 0.03 Canada and Japanese PPV (19,361 buys) Another slow news week, so on to the go-home show. EEE All Star Wrestling #32 Friday, Week 4, September 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 12,069 [*]ANGLE: The Perfect One Pepper Pelton is out with Billy Keelan. He knows the team have made some mistakes, but when there’s chaos, these things happen. He wants the others to know he forgives them. The Twin Powers and Monty Trescarde all roll their eyes. But he finds himself now heading into a Supershow with no match. And that is unacceptable. So he’s offering a free shot at the King for anyone with the stones to take it. Fro Sure answers the call, and he’ll happily take down another member of the family, having already beaten Trescade within an inch of his life. Trescarde takes issue with those comments and wants another match, so Fro Sure suggests that the two of them team up. He knows a guy whose been looking for a tag team partner. Break Stuff by Limp Bizkit hits and Angry Gilmore joins Fro Sure. Rating: 84 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Flip Simpkins vs. Davis Wayne Newton In a decent match, Davis Wayne Newton defeated Flip Simkins in 10:07 by submission with a STF. Rating: 74 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr is ready for his big title shot at the weekend. But he wants Dreadnought to be ready. So he’s hand selected a victim for his to destroy. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Jason Patterson vs. Dreadnought In a bout that didn't have much heat and terrible wrestling, Dreadnought defeated Jason Patterson in 8:10 by pinfall with a Dread Bomb. Rating: 38 [*]ANGLE: Trent Shaffer and Riley McManus are arguing backstage about their lack of teamwork, when Valiant and Aaron Andrews pass by. They think the two of them need to work on their problems. They’ll help them at the Supershow: Last Chance in a tag team match. But why don’t both teams try their hand at it tonight? Rating: 82 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Aaron Andrews & Valiant vs. The Razorbacks In a decent match, Aaron Andrews and Valiant defeated The Razorbacks in 10:29 when Aaron Andrews pinned TJ Brown with a Standing Hot Shot.

Rating: 88 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Garry the Entertainer vs. Perfect Pepper Pelton In a decent match, Perfect Pepper Pelton defeated Garry The Entertainer in 10:21 by pinfall with a Fisherman's Suplex. Rating: 61 [*]ANGLE: Via pre-taped video we have a sitdown interview with Davis Wayne Newton. He talks about what a year it’s been with EEE. He’s come to realise that without friends, you can’t achieve anything. At least, you couldn’t until him. He’s going to prove that even without anyone having his back, he’s going to rise to the top.

eayragt Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 EEE World Heavyweight: Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Star’ George Trapesi © It's time. There's an array of face challengers waiting for him.

Aaron Andrews & Valiant vs. Riley McManus & Trent Shaffer Speaking of face challengers...

John Lions Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 EEE Supershow: Last Chance EEE World Heavyweight: Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Star’ George Trapesi © Trapesi's reign has had good matches but he feels like he's done a lot of nothing after he finished the chase. I think getting the title onto someone else is for the better - my original thought was use Valiant as a transitional to get the Pep/Pryde feud the top billing, but DWN has been grinding for so long and definitely deserves a reign. EEE Intercontinental: Honest Frank Jr vs. Charlie Corner © Called it last time, I'll call it this time too. Corner's building steam now, but what the hell do you do with him if the cool babyface just beats everyone? Frank has been getting his ass beat constantly, even with a bodyguard, but he's the heel in the same spot as Corner on the card. Lets see him get some gold. EEE World Tag Team: The Fantastic Express vs. The Twin Powers © I don't really have a strong feeling one way or the other, so I'll go with the good guys since I have the other two good guy champs dropping the titles. Aaron Andrews & Valiant vs. Riley McManus & Trent Shaffer Shaffer/McManus have been working together but no way Riley forgets that Shaffer was the guy to big league him when he first came in. Gives you two challengers for DWN and can kick start McManus's return to the light against Shaffer. Fro Sure & Angry Gilmore vs. Pepper Pelton & Monty Trescarde Pepper needs to stay as hot as possible, him and Pryde should be fighting over the top title. Crusher Toko vs. Dreadnought The Islander experiment seems to be on it's last legs, and Dreadnought needs some wins against real guys to get over enough to beat your midcard. The Biggins Boys vs. The VCC Biggins got their moment in the sun and now put over your younger teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinoKea Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 EEE Supershow: Last Chance EEE World Heavyweight: Davis Wayne Newton def. ‘The Star’ George Trapesi © George has really run out of challengers and it seems clear you're not going for Pepper to take the title, otherwise he wouldn't have been pinned EEE Intercontinental: Honest Frank Jr def. Charlie Corner © I still think Frank wins the title so Corner can move up the card EEE World Tag Team: The Twin Powers © def. The Fantastic Express Very 50/50 on this one, but I think Tag Titles still need some more stability Riley McManus & Trent Shaffer def. Aaron Andrews & Valiant No real reasoning, just like these two more Pepper Pelton & Monty Trescarde def. Fro Sure & Angry Gilmore I just have a feeling Dreadnought def.

TCP1 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 New York City… where it’s a last chance in more ways than one… EEE Supershow: Last Chance Sunday, Week 4, Setpember 2024 Greenwalt Dome, New York City, New York Attendance: 48,646 TAG TEAM MATCH: The Biggins Boys vs. The VCC In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, The VCC defeated The Biggins Boys in 10:11 when Ray Cavalero pinned Bart Biggins with a Vessey lock. Rating: 77 Notes: The resurgence of The VCC under Bryan Vessey’s leadership continues with a clean victory over the former champions. Fantastic match-up too. I had toyed with sending The Biggins Boys down into development to help the next generation, but they just keep delivering great matches, so for now we’d broadly look to make them our beatable midcard face tag team. Very hot start to the show. SINGLES MATCH: Dreadnought vs. Crusher Toko In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Dreadnought defeated Crusher Toko in 5:37 by pinfall with a Dread Bomb. Rating: 43 Notes: The Monster Among Men absolutely destroys failed experiment Crusher Toko to properly establish himself as a danger to the rest of the locker. He was still very much the 1b to Honest Frank’s 1a, but with his upside and us not failing with his development this time, we could be off to the races. SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. Spike Sylvain In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, The Eagle defeated Spike Sylvain in 10:22 by pinfall with a Freedom Slam. Rating: 64 Notes: Two originals battle it out in a solid match-up. The Eagle was always going to get the win here, but watching Spike reminded of the time we paired him with Eddie Braddock as the New York Dolls. We’d come a long way since then, but I always felt nostalgic for the good old days of NYCW. TAG TEAM MATCH: Angry Gilmore & Fro Sure vs. Pepper Pelton & Monty Trescarde In a bout that had fantastic heat and decent wrestling, Angry Gilmore and Fro Sure defeated Pepper Pelton and Monty Trescarde in 10:25 when Fro Sure pinned Monty Trescarde with a Sure Thing after Prime Time Jack Pryde ran in and brawled with Pepper. Rating: 73 Notes: Good match, but a little disappointing, mainly because Pepper and Monty don’t work well as a team. Fro Sure continues to bubble along nicely and this was a decent win for Angry Gilmore who has been struggling to find those in recent weeks. Our attempts to make Monty a top-level heel have basically stopped now and he will become the perfect heel counter-point to The Eagle. Prime Time has returned as his blood feud with his former best friend continues. EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: The Fantastic Express vs. The Twin Powers (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated The Twin Powers in 10:20 when Bulldozer Brandon Smith was disqualified for Powerbombing Rafe Sashay through a table. Rating: 67 Notes: A win for The Fantastics, but not one they would have wanted. The Twin Powers continue to cling to the belts for dear life, but also continue their domination. Having seen so many title changes in a short space of time, it’s nice to have some stability and a big Hoss team holding the titles, so when we do switch them it’ll mean something. Hopefully. EEE INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH: Honest Frank Jr vs. Charlie Corner (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Honest Frank Jr defeated Charlie Corner in 22:27 by pinfall by using underhanded tactics. Honest Frank Jr wins the EEE Intercontinental. Rating: 71 Notes: And the dream run of Charlie Corner comes to a halt at the hands of one of the top antagonists in the company. It’s a big night for both men as Frank Jr finally gets his hands on some gold (and with it some power), while Charlie can afford the loss after months of victories over some of our top stars. With Corner’s momentum riding high, it seemed a great time to transition him up the card towards the top to see what his limits are. It might be quick, but I had faith in him and so, it seems, did a lot of our veteran workers. TAG TEAM MATCH: Aaron Andrews & Valiant vs. Riley McManus & Trent Shaffer In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Aaron Andrews and Valiant defeated Riley McManus and Trent Shaffer in 10:18 when Aaron Andrews pinned Riley McManus with a Flying Body Press. Rating: 80 Notes: What a match. The combination of overness and in-ring talent combined to create an incredible match-up which got the audience buzzing and would no doubt mean better things for all four men going forward. Eventually I’d have to bite the bullet and permanently team Shaffer and McManus, but for now their ability to be great singles and tag stars was a benefit we’d exploit. EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH Davis Wayne Newton vs. ‘The Star’ George Trapesi (c) In an exceptional match, Davis Wayne Newton defeated George Trapesi in 23:48 by submission with a STF after interference from two unknown wrestlers. Davis Wayne Newton wins the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 82 Notes: Just when I thought we couldn’t top the previous match, these two deliver one of our best ever matches. The conclusion of the long-running feud which has seen DWN transition from solid upper-midcarder to top star has been a joy to watch and he has taken it all in his stride with aplomb. And hats off to George Trapesi, who carried the company through our own transition and established himself as a bonafide top-level performer for us. But it was time for something new, and add to it the debut of two mysterious workers helps bring that new era forward. ANGLE: After the match, the two newcomers along with Davis Wayne Newton are destroying ‘The Star’ George Trapesi. Cheerleader Nicki tries to save The Star, but they happily beat her down too. Rating: 71 Notes: Now that is heel behaviour. OVERALL RATING: 80 An amazing show which brought us 740,864 viewers and a very healthy $819,051 profit. Next time… the Canada’s Finest Era has begun… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats also to Theheel, KyTeran and ToastyCenturion who share the top prize after some pretty solid guessing. The Fantastics DQ win probably threw some people, but broadly good stuff once again. We're heading towards Halloween Hell, with plenty of points up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCP1 Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 New York City… where change is as common as victory… In the aftermath of Last Chance, I had negotiated us a new TV deal with Arcadia. East Coast Today had been fantastic for our growth, but Arcadia were big boys and better matched our corporate profile. Rather than changing the show again, we’d stick with All Star Wrestling as it had built quite the following. It was then time to check the monthly merchandise figures, and things were not as rosy as they had been. Monthly Merchandise: 1. Valiant - $173,355 (-$372,084) 2. Aaron Andrews - $84,209 (+$14,858) 3. Charlie Corner - $57,102 (+$7,067) 4. Prime Time Jack Pryde - $51,632 (+$4,285) 5. George Trapesi - $39,073 (+$2,407) 6. Fro Sure - $37,696 (+$2,253) 7. Davis Wayne Newton - $21,200 (+$4,069) 8. Zippy Deverell - $16,829 (+$6,968) 9. Rafe Sasay - $11,229 (NEW) 10. Emma Chase - $10,800 ($0) While most workers were up, Valiant had seen a complete collapse in his merchandising figures, no doubt because of his failure to win the World Heavyweight Title a couple of months ago. We’d missed the peak of his popularity and perhaps should’ve pulled the trigger on him winning. Alas, this is the price you pay for building other stars and while it was a shame to lose that income, the benefits to DWN and Trapesi would serve us well in the future. With that all sorted it was time to begin the build to the next Supershow: Halloween Hell. EEE All Star Wrestling #33 Friday, Week 1, October 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,626 [*]ANGLE: Davis Wayne Newton flanked by the two attackers from Last Chance appear at the entrance and make their way to the ring. DWN slowly opens his long sequined robe to reveal the EEE World Heavyweight Title. He is then handed a microphone as the two men flank him on either side. “Well, well, well. What did I tell you all? You get nowhere in this life without people watching your back. For months I have been beaten and battered by the endless groups of wrestlers. I knew Last Chance would be… my last chance. So I found myself two friends. Two of the very best in the world to help watch my back, and I think it’s fair to say they did what I needed them to do. Y’see, I cannot trust anyone from around here. And I certainly cannot trust any Americans. So I went back to my homeland and found two members of wrestling royalty. For decades the first family of wrestling have produced the finest workers the world has ever seen. A foundation on which all modern wrestling is based. And I’m happy to say that the new generation have agreed to align with me. It is my pleasure to introduce to you; Michael and Christopher Stone… The Stone Foundation. What you are looking at are Canada’s Finest. The Premier group in professional wrestling today. With the help of the Stone Family, I have reached the top of the mountain and dispatched The Pretender; George Trapesi. I hear he’s so distraught that he’s gone into hiding. Good riddance. So the only question is, where do we go from here…” At this, DEVIL by Shinedown kicks in and here comes Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews. “My man, sometimes you just need to shut the Hell up. Congratulations on cheating your way to the big prize. I bet your parents are proud. And you’ve got yourself the next generation of the Stone Family to back you up. That I am impressed with. As for where you go next, let me help you figure it out. I’m next!” DWN laughs and beckons for Andrews to enter the ring, knowing that it’s three-on-one. The Ace smiles and The Biggins Boys step out alongside him. The three of them storm the ring and DWN and the Stone Foundation bail. Rating: 92 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Monty Trescarde vs. Perfect Pepper Pelton In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, Perfect Pepper Pelton defeated Monty Trescarde in 10:09 by pinfall with a Fisherman's Suplex. Rating: 64 [*]ANGLE: After the match the Keelan Family who’ve been at ringside deliver a terrible beatdown to Monty Trescarde. Keelan grabs a microphone. “I warned you Monty. I warned you. I only represent winners. Get out of here. And to you Perfect One. You see what I did? I did it for you. You are the future of this business and your old friend The Brain will always have your back. So what do you say? Are you still part of the Family?” Perfect Pepper Pelton waves his arms away and walks to the back alone. Rating: 88 [*]SINGLES MATCH: The Eagle vs. Spike Sylvain In a bout that had great heat and good wrestling, The Eagle defeated Spike Sylvain in 10:24 by pinfall with a Freedom Slam. Rating: 69 [*]ANGLE: Backstage Bryan Vessey has The VCC prepped and ready. He tells them that the next challenge in their climb comes next week with a number one contenders match against The Fantastic Express. Bryan chops their chests one after the other and they barely flinch. He declares them ready. Rating: 86 [*]EEE WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH: Chip Martin & Flip Simpkins vs. The Twin Powers (c) In a decent match, The Twin Powers defeated Chip Martin and Flip Simkins in 9:41 when Bulldozer Brandon Smith pinned Flip Simkins with a Stereo Powerbombs. The Twin Powers make defence number seven of the EEE World Tag Team. Rating: 62 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr is admiring his Intercontinental Title backstage, when Thom Barrowman approaches for a quote. Frank declares himself moderately happy with the performance. More than anything it’s just nice that all the slack-jawed losers in New York won’t be able to argue with him about how good he is. After all, he’s the champion. Angry Gilmore walks by and gets close and stares in disbelief at the title. Frank: “Didn’t I retire you?” Gilmore gets angry at that comment and attacks the champion before Dreadnought steps in and chokes out Gilmore. Rating: 90 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Bradley Blaze vs. Trent ‘The Talent’ Shaffer In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Trent Shaffer defeated Bradley Blaze in 9:45 by pinfall with a Heart Burn. Rating: 67 [*]ANGLE: Backstage in the locker room in near-darkness, George Trapesi is sat alone with his head in his hands. From somewhere else, Bryan Vessey approaches and puts his hand on Trapesi’s shoulder. “You alright kid?” Trapesi looks up and simply says “No.” Rating: 83 [*]GANG WARS MATCH: Aaron Andrew & The Biggins Boys vs. Canada’s Finest (Davis Wayne Newton & The Stone Foundation) In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Canada's Finest (Davis Wayne Newton, Michael Stone and Christopher Stone) defeated Aaron Andrews and The Biggins Boys in 9:44 when Christopher Stone pinned Brett Biggins with a handful of tights. Rating: 75 [*]ANGLE: After the match is over and with Andrews unconscious. Canada’s Finest attack The Biggins Boys, beating them to a pulp in the middle of the ring. Rating: 69 [*]OVERALL RATING: 79 – 0.96 (725,466 viewers), PPV Canada and Japan 0.03 (15,667 buys) Never let it be said that I don’t use every ounce of popularity in fading stars. The Biggins did what I needed them to do; get beaten by an up-and-coming team. Having successfully signed the Stone offspring straight out of the House of Stone training facility, I decided to incorporate them along with DWN and the results already are spectacular. The Stone Foundation Christopher Stone & Michael Stone The third generation of the Stone Family have arrived. Christopher and Michael are the children of Jeremy and Duane Stone respectively and having been trained in the new-and-improved Hands of Stone Academy are two of the more polished in-ring workers at such a young age. Packed with potential; Christopher is a technical master while Michael brings more power-based moves to create a perfect blend of the two. With almost unlimited upside, they have partnered with another uber-talented all-rounder in Davis Wayne Newton and the sky is the limit. EEE All Star Wrestling #34 Friday, Week 2, October 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,427 [*]ANGLE: Prime Time Jack Pryde is out with a mic. “Wassup New York City. As you may have noticed, I have returned. And at Last Chance I got to teach the punk Pep, my former best friend, a lesson about how you should treat those closest to you. I also notice that Pep is up to his old tricks again, this time with the Keelan Family. I’m not surprised, but really Keelan brings it upon himself. But Pep is why I’m here. Nothing else matters to me. Stopping ‘The Perfect One’ from achieving anything is the goal I’ve set myself. It’s a lesson that every man has to learn and now is the time for Pep to understand that he was lucky. Lucky to get a job here, lucky to be teamed with Prime Time and lucky to achieved anything. I’m sure that Pep will find someone else to leach off in no time. But Prime Time has friends everywhere in the world. So whatever Pep can do, I can do better. The hunt begins!” Rating: 86 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Bradley Blaze & Spike Sylvain vs. The Stone Foundation In a decent match, The Stone Foundation defeated Bradley Blaze and Spike Sylvain in 10:29 when Christopher Stone pinned Spike Sylvain with a Stone Strike. Rating: 53 [*]ANGLE: Backstage in the locker room Riley McManus and Trent Shaffer are sparring with one another. Trent asks where Fern is and Riley waves his hand as if to say ‘don’t ask.’ The Perfect One Pepper Pelton approaches them for a chat, but he doesn’t want the cameraman listening in. Rating: 89 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Ben Williams vs. ‘The Georgia Bulldog’ Riley McManus In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Riley McManus defeated Ben Williams in 10:02 by pinfall with a Slingshot Suplex. Rating: 59 [*]ANGLE: Angry Gilmore is with Thom Barrowman and he’s got some words for Honest Frank Jr. He’s pretty sure the two of them have fought before and he’s angry that the kid took the beating he gave him and continued to wrestle. Not only continue, but actually win a title. Gilmore is pretty sure it’s just because of the tall drink of water who hangs around him like a bad smell. But he’s found himself a new partner to even the odds… The Eagle. Rating: 75 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Angry Gilmore & The Eagle vs. The Razorbacks In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Angry Gilmore and The Eagle defeated The Razorbacks in 9:32 when Angry Gilmore pinned Jamarr Green with a Sky High Elbow. Rating: 57 [*]ANGLE: Back in the locker room and Trent and Riley are still there, but without The Perfect One. The mood seems different than before and they appear to be arguing. Emma Chase approaches to try and find out what happened and neither of the men want to talk about it. Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Charlie Corner vs. William Jetterson In a decent match, Charlie Corner defeated William Jetterson in 10:21 by pinfall with a Corner Cutter. Rating: 63 [*]ANGLE: Billy ‘The Brain’ Keelan brings out The Twin Powers to sit at ringside to watch the number one contenders match, while Billy joins the announce table. He doesn’t really care who wins tonight, because he knows The Twin Powers will beat all-comers. Because they’re winners. Rating: 82 [*]NO.1 CONTENDERS TAG TEAM MATCH: The Fantastic Express vs. The VCC In a bout that had fantastic heat and good wrestling, The VCC defeated The Fantastic Express in 9:36 when JP Barnham submitted Rafe Sashay with a Golden Scissors after interference from Bryan Vessey. Rating: 69 [*]ANGLE: After the match, The Twin Towers get in the ring to attack, but The VCC were expecting it and stand toe-to-toe with the champions. Outside the ring, Billy Keelan is barking instructions to his team. Bryan Vessey gestures to the back and George Trapesi comes to the ring with his hair in a tight ponytail and attacks the Keelan Family, chasing them away. Rating: 87 [*]OVERALL RATING: 74 – 0.86 (645,474 viewers), PPV Canada and Japan 0.02 (11,725 buys) And the next step in the evolution of the former LA Star #1 happens. He’s been the returning hero, the conquering champion and now he’s the no-frills fighter. A man who is putting himself through training at the hands of the one of the best to ever do it. In the limo heading downtown, my mind was almost completely on the upcoming feud between The Ace and DWN. Could we realistically build our promotion around a main event involving Andrews. He was still considered toxic and there’s absolutely no way of being able to predict the response to having a criminal as the top star. That isn’t to say we’d be switching the belt to him. But if the fans knew we wouldn’t do it, would they be invested fully in the story? All these anxieties swirled in my mind as The Masked Mauler and Rick Sanders met me at The Ministry. NYCW New York Forever 2024 The Ministry, New York City 1,000 (SOLD OUT!?!) Pablo Rodriguez defeated Big Jon Walker to retain the NYCW Tri-State Regional Title – 40 Joey Minnesota defeated Marco Gonzalez – 55 Denny King defeated Texas Hangman – 57 Sandman Winks defeated Ray Snow to retain the NYCW Nationwide Title – 57 Christian Plotcheck defeated Karl Greyjoy – 32 Leonardo Fry defeated Benjamin Reeves – 30 Porkchop Patterson defeated Velocidad Jr – 26 Blue Dragon defeated Arnold Jenkins – 37 Merlin Poutin defeated Melvin Walkinshaw – 31 OVERALL RATING: 43 There was a lot of talent in NYCW these days after I’d sent them Big Jon Walker and Joey Minnesota. All in all, the card was an enjoyable way to spend two hours. There was a lack of tag team wrestling for my liking. But you can’t win them all. As for the Andrews vs. Newton conundrum, it wasn’t something I had to worry about for at least a couple of weeks. I focused my mind on bringing along the other feuds. Andrews and DWN were savvy enough on the mic to tell their own story. EEE All Star Wrestling #35 Friday, Week 3, October 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 11,615 [*]ANGLE: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews is out. He knows DWN is ducking him. But come Halloween Hell, The Ace is going to finally get his hands on him… and his title. Davis Wayne Newton has a microphone, but is up in his personal balcony suite. He’s bored of this section of the show and demands that the producer moves on to something which entertains him… like The Biggins Boys getting beaten, again… Rating: 99 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Valiant vs. Taylor Mitchell In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Valiant defeated Taylor Mitchell in 10:24 by pinfall with a V-Split. Rating: 56 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Prime Time Jack Pryde vs. Crusher Toko In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, Prime Time Jack Pryde defeated Crusher Toko in 10:08 by pinfall with a PrydeFall. Rating: 67 [*]ANGLE: After the match, ‘The Perfect One’ Pepper Pelton hits the ring to confront Prime Time. With his back turned, Prime Time does not notice Riley McManus and Trent Shaffer appearing behind him. The three men beat down Prime Time and celebrate afterwards. Rating: 93 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Stevie Stanley & Bryan Jewett vs. The Stone Foundation In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, The Stone Foundation defeated Stevie Stanley and Bryan Jewett in 8:30 when Michael Stone submitted Stevie Stanley with a Stone Ankle Lock. Rating: 41 [*]ANGLE: Backstage Thom Barrowman is trying to get an interview with The Twin Powers. Billy Keelan steps in and tells Barrowman to watch himself. All he needs to know is the champs are looking forward to beating The VCC at Halloween Hell. But he doesn’t like the fact that that punk Bryan Vessey has got himself a third man for the outside. Trapesi better not be trying to use the Family to get his mojo back. Because if he is, there’ll be Hell to pay for all of them. Rating: 83 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Jason Patterson vs. Monty Trescarde In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Monty Trescarde defeated Jason Patterson in 8:06 by pinfall with a Cash Bonus. Rating: 58 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Fro Sure vs. The Masked Mauler In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Fro Sure defeated The Masked Mauler in 22:04 by pinfall by using underhanded tactics. Rating: 79 [*]OVERALL RATING: 82 – 0.98 (741,736 viewers), PPV Canada and Japan 0.01 (9,292 buys) Backstage I noticed Monty Trescarde taking time out of his warm-down to give advice to Jason Patterson. Yet another trainer and protégé situation. Wonderful. With one more show to go and a slow news week in the books, it was time for the go-home. EEE All Star Wrestling #36 Friday, Week 4, October 2024 The Empire Ballroom, New York City, New York Attendance: 12,134 [*]ANGLE: After the opening pyros, Davis Wayne Newton’s voice can be heard. He’s standing up in his balcony with The Stone Foundation and he speaks down to the audience. The people of The Empire Ballroom may not know it, but they’re in the presence of history. Only in Empire Elite Entertainment can you see the Triple Threat live in person. Only here can you witness Canada’s Finest. And this weekend, you can see him in the hottest main event in years… against ‘The Criminal’ Aaron Andrews. But tonight he has it on good authority that Andrews isn’t here… probably meeting with his probation officer. So enjoy the main event, where DWN will grace you all by putting his title on the line. Rating: 88 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: The Fantastic Express vs. Samoan Wrecking Crew In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, The Fantastic Express defeated Samoan Wrecking Crew in 7:53 when Rafe Sashay pinned Loa Afu with a Fantastic Flashbang. Rating: 65 [*]SINGLES MATCH: George Trapesi vs. ‘The Stud’ Phil Anders In a bout that had great heat and decent wrestling, George Trapesi defeated Phil Anders in 8:25 by pinfall with a Star Maker Lariat. Rating: 69 [*]ANGLE: After the match, Bryan Vessey starts chopping Trapesi’s chest. And Trapesi just takes it without flinching. Bryan grabs the microphone. “Look what I’ve accomplished here. I have trained and beaten the ego out of this man. He was broken when I found him and look at him now. All sense of arrogance gone. He is no longer ‘The Star,’ he is simply George Trapesi. And he’s better for it. And Billy Keelan, you better watch your back. Because we aren’t just coming for the gold this weekend. We’re going to put you out of business.” Rating: 86 [*]SINGLES MATCH: Alistair Shufflebottom vs. The Masked Mauler In a decent match, The Masked Mauler defeated Alistair Shufflebottom in 7:37 by pinfall with a Piledriver. Rating: 60 [*]ANGLE: Honest Frank Jr and Dreadnought are looking for some warm-up work today before they each face Angry Gilmore and The Eagle at Halloween Hell. So get some goobers out here so that they can kick their backsides. Rating: 79 [*]TAG TEAM MATCH: Garry the Entertainer & Astro vs. Dreadnought & Honest Frank Jr In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Dreadnought and Honest Frank Jr defeated Garry The Entertainer and Astro in 5:51 when Dreadnought pinned Astro with a Dread Bomb. Rating: 50 [*]EEE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH: The Eagle vs. Davis Wayne Newton (c) In a bout that had fantastic heat and great wrestling, Davis Wayne Newton defeated The Eagle in 21:44 by pinfall with a handful of tights. Davis Wayne Newton makes defence number one of the EEE World Heavyweight. Rating: 81 [*]ANGLE: After the hard-fought win, Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews music plays. The Stone Foundation form a protective barrier between the entrance and DWN, unaware that Andrews has come through the crowd. He attacks all three men and beats them out of the ring. Rating: 82 [*]OVERALL RATING: 81 – 0.98 (741,394 viewers), PPV Canada and Japan 0.01 (7,575 buys) Over the weekend, we discovered that Running Wolf had been elevated to the main event and had won the USPW World Title for the first time defeating Rocky Golden. That was actually a very smart move. Running Wolf is a superb all-rounder. And with that, we were all set for Sunday: EEE Supershow: Halloween Hell EEE World Heavyweight: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. Davis Wayne Newton © EEE World Tag Team: The VCC vs. The Twin Powers © EEE Intercontinental: Angry Gilmore vs. Honest Frank Jr © Prime Time Jack Pryde, Fro Sure & Charlie Corner vs. Pepper Pelton, Riley McManus & Trent Shaffer George Trapesi vs. Monty Trescarde Valiant vs. The Masked Mauler The Eagle vs. Dreadnought The Fantastic Express vs. The Biggins Boys Next time… All Hallow’s Eve… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eayragt Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 EEE Supershow: Halloween Hell EEE World Heavyweight: Aaron ‘The Ace’ Andrews vs. Davis Wayne Newton © A better prediction would be that the title doesn't change, as I'm sure it won't. That doesn't mean that there won't be an unsatisfactory end EEE World Tag Team: The VCC vs. The Twin Powers © Maybe next month? EEE Intercontinental: Angry Gilmore vs. Honest Frank Jr © This is what Gilmore is designed to do nowadays Prime Time Jack Pryde, Fro Sure & Charlie Corner vs. Pepper Pelton, Riley McManus & Trent Shaffer Pepper to take another vicotry, albeit in tag action, before Pryde wins the singles match next month? George Trapesi vs. Monty Trescarde This would be the biggest upset ever if I get this wrong Valiant vs. The Masked Mauler A desperate attempt to wring some more cash out of him? The Eagle vs. Dreadnought This will make me sad, but it looks like he's on a monster run. The question is where will it end? The Fantastic Express vs. The Biggins Boys Unless they're splitting up, they're winning this. And if they're splitting up, they're still probably winning this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
