AboardTheArk Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 Vibert's Voice - Ep. 142, Tuesday 3rd Week of February 2018 And yeah, the summation is that I am still shocked they actually pulled the trigger on El Curso winning the title. These characters usually just exist to put the tecnico over, especially when we're talking about the one man rivalling El Patron in terms of overness in the history of lucha libre. Another MOTY contender too. But with that, we move on to, uh, Valentine Day's Violence, which is just another edition of Title Bout Wrestling. And honestly, a slightly weaker one in order to not give away too much of the PPV card, I assume. SEGMENT 1: The show opens with a huge 4-man brawl between Skip Beau, Blockbuster, Brett Fraser, and Prometheus. They ruin a lot of the easily-destroyable entrance set, but in the end no one seems to take an upper hand. That's when Alex DeColt's music hits, and the boss himself came out to deliver the news. At Luck Of The Draw, this will be resolved in a tag team match. Skip Beau and Brett Fraser vs Blockbuster and Prometheus. Clearly a move to not have the duds caused by lack of chemistry, if the match doesn't go too long it'll be fun. This was also a very intense way to start the show in the best way possible, so this segment gets a 55. MATCH 1: Curtis Mobstar vs Stevie Grayson was a surprisingly quick-paced match, that suffered from low crowd reaction. They didn't buy Stevie possibly winning at any point, and he didn't. Mobstar planted him with the Flattener DDT in 10 minutes, and that was that. 42. SEGMENT 2: The fun was saved for after the match, when as Stevie was recovering in the ring, Killer Karson came out and absolutely decimated him, hitting his Killer Boot twice and slamming him overhead out of the ring. Going for this unstoppable monster type thing might suit Karson more, and this gets a 35. SEGMENT 3: We go backstage, where there is a segment of Adrian Garcia sitting down champion Intrepid Ian Identity and challenger Donte Dunn, and asking them questions from the fans about the match at the PPV. This was fine but the content was very much generic. 46 MATCH 2: Generation Z vs Team CD. Well, Gen Z got a new valet, a young cheerleader called Lizzie Spellman. Perhaps this is why they got the win here, as this was a slight repackaging of their act. Nevertheless, I've talked about depushing Danny Draper as he's still improving, he's still further along than either members of Gen Z and therefore this match wasn't very good. Flip Simkins pinned Chucky D after a crossbody. A 31. SEGMENT 4: Jamie Atherton is backstage getting interviewed by Jenny Playmate, and the content of his promo is about CGC management wisening up and not trying to book him a match this week, but as 'punishment' they didn't give him a debut for Luck Of The Draw. He says Luck Of The Draw isn't thinking big enough, but regardless after that show all everyone will be talking about is Jamie Atherton, and that's a guarantee. Good promo, setting up some actual intrigue on where this story is going. A 68. MATCH 3: Ant-Man vs Drake Young in a tables match. The problem with this one is simple: Drake Young isn't a wrestler. He's a manager trapped in a wrestler. He has good timing and him weaseling out of Ant-Man's moves was entertaining, but his offense looks so bad and he gets a lot of it in matches against undercarders. Thankfully, Ant-Man slammed him through a table in an acceptable amount of time, and we move on. 36. MATCH 4: Alexander Robinson vs Ozzie Golden. The gaijin legend debuted by beating Ozzie in a fairly entertaining match, with CGC clearly wanting to capitalize on his status. It makes sense, and it sucks for Ozzie that Flash got a major concussion because rumors are they'd be the tag team champions right now. He didn't get buried here, it was a nice competitive contest, but Robinson always seemed closer to 'in control'. 49. SEGMENT 5: After the match, Dan DaLay hit the ring and started wailing on Robinson, saying he is not welcome in CGC, which is his damn company. After a brutal beatdown, Robinson got saved by his protege, Sterling Whitlock, who is also making his CGC debut. The crowd in attendance didn't recognize the connection which is unfortunate, but it was put over by commentary. Dan laid a challenge to Robinson for Luck Of The Draw, and this was good stuff although you'd rather the build not happen 4 days before the event. 40. MATCH 5: Six Man Tag Main Event, Champions vs Challengers. Simple format, they honestly do too many of these tag matches instead of building real heat in a feud, although Whippy vs Joey has been a tiny bit better in that regard. The match was expectedly solid, with every worker here being relatively hot over the past month. It actually got slightly less time than the usual CGC TV main event in the Garcia era, slotting below 18 minutes, but those were well used and ended with Joey Poison hitting the Antidote's Web on Nathan Black for the win. 52. SEGMENT 6: Post match we get the final staredown between Whippy and Joey for Luck Of The Draw, and Whippy extends a handshake of respect. A nice moment considering Whippy acting slightly more heelish during the build, and the last thing the company needs is more heels. 47. Overall, this was definitely a bit of a dip in quality, but it was to be expected when the card was announced. Luck Of The Draw should be better than elimination, with more of the newer acts being built up and two very possible winners in the main event that the fans would both like to see win. The show's grade is a 50, and I'll see you all next Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboardTheArk Posted August 9, 2022 Author Share Posted August 9, 2022 CGC LUCK OF THE DRAW - FRIDAY WEEK 3 OF FEBRUARY 2018 FROM VANCOUVER - TICKETS ON SALE! CGC World Championship Match Joey Poison vs Whippy The Clown © Challenger Joey Poison wants to fulfill the dream run in the same way Whippy did back in October. He's riding some excellent momentum, but Whippy has shown his more serious side and the fact that while he respects Joey, he does not fear him and will do anything to keep his title! This is an exciting in-ring matchup as well, probably the most technical in the company for the world title since legends Larry Vessey and Eric Tyler faced each other for the title back in 1996 at the Wrestlefestival. Grudge Singles Match Alexander Robinson (W/Sterling Whitlock) vs Dan DaLay Beloved Canadian wrestling legend Alexander Robinson made his sensational debut at Valentine Day's Violence, but Dan DaLay took offense, recognizing legendary status only by what has been achieved in CGC. While this makes sense, his disrespectful, violent outburst caused the interference of Robinson's prodigy and led to what will surely be a heated contest. CGC Canadian Championship Match Donte Dunn v Intrepid Ian Identity © A feud that was ignited after Ian hit a low blow on Donte Dunn to win the Canadian title, Donte has been on a tear in the past month, and absolutely p'd off at the champion. This will surely be violent and angry, but can Donte Dunn keep his focus on the prize? Because the champion's advantage and dirty tricks are big obstacles to overcome! CGC World Tag Team Championships Match Montreal Mafia vs The Predators © The Predators shocked the world at Eliminaton by ending Tough and Glorious' excellent run with the gold, but their first defense is no joke. Montreal Mafia are not only talented and hungry, they're also in scintilating form and have shown a newfound maturity and respect for wrestling the way you'd want a CGC Combatant to do. Grudge Tag Team Match Skip Beau & Brett Fraser vs Blockbuster & Prometheus These four men have been at each others throats recently, with the monsters' disrespectful attitude and comfortability to break the rules to get a win being something especially the veteran has taken offense to. Skip Beau continues to impress people with his new aggression, but he lost to Blockbuster on Title Bout Wrestling due to Prometheus' interference. This one will not be pretty, but it will be awesome. #1 Contender for the Canadian Championship match Ant-Man vs Curtis Mobstar Out of all the newcomers of 2018, these two have had the most early success, and Alex DeColt decided to reward them with a fight for a title shot. They both are tough workers who don't back down, but one has to wonder wether the size difference will catch up to the mighty Ant-Man, or will his raw strength overcome Curtis Mobstar's tenacity. Big Bad Brawl Match Clause Reed vs Killer Karson Killer Karson has made quite the destructive impression early on in his CGC career, especially at Valentine Day's Violence when he took out Stevie Grayson. Given that Stevie is in no condition to wrestle, it was decided Killer Karson should pick on someone his own size! Clause Reed made a sensational debut at Elimination, but he had a minor injury that prevented him from having matches and get that momentum into more wins. He's now at 100% and ready to teach this bully a lesson! This match will be contested under Big Bad Brawl rules, where there's no count-outs, no Disqualifications, but matches can not only be won by pinfall/submission/Stoppage, but also by throwing the opponent off the top rope, humiliating a fellow giant!

AboardTheArk Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 CGC Luck Of The Draw 2018: Report Held in: Vancouver Attendance: 1,122 people (up from Elimination by 150ish) PPV Buys: 14,240 (down from Elimination by 900) Match 1 #1 Contender's Match for the Canadian Championship Ant-man vs Curtis Mobstar Curtis Mobstar opened Elimination against Ant-man's partner, Topher Smith, and he opens the next Event as well. This match was all action, all-killer-no-filler wrestling, transitioning smoothly from spot to spot, from big bomb thrown to the next. In the end, this was resolved by a factor that is surprising: Ant-man's built in toughness. He's more used to being ragdolled around than Curtis Mobstar, and was able to recover quicker from the damage as we hit the later stages of the contest. An Avalanche Powerslam gave him the win, and a chance at his first singles title in CGC, so early on in his career! Rating: 47 Match 2 Big Bad Brawl Rules Clause Reed vs Killer Karson A clash of Titans followed up, and the Big Bad Brawl rules took full effect as both contenders instantly went out of the ring to grab weapons. What followed was a Jedi-esque Chair Fight, broken kendo sticks and even part of a tree trunk being used as chaos ensued! After a few minutes, the fight went back to the ring, and soon Killer Karson capitalized on Reed's ring rust and hit the Killer Boot... only to hit it two more times because he wanted to Boot his opponent over the top rope for the win! It wasn't the cleanest match in company history, but it certainly was a Big Bad Brawl Between Badasses! Rating: 26 Angle 1 Killer Karson grabbed the mic after the match and he said that if these would be the consequences of him hurting lesser wrestlers, Alex DeColt will soon have to hire an entire new roster. Very menacing, but it'll be sure to tick off some people backstage... Rating: 26 Match 3 Brett Fraser & Skip Beau vs Blockbuster & Prometheus A collision that can only be likened to the Big Bang itself reached its big, chaotic consclusion as these giants brawled to the limit for ten glorious minutes. First off the monsters isolated Brett Fraser who could only fight back in short spurts to no avail, but then he got Skip Beau in, who rushed the ring like a Bull in a China shop and momentarily took out both opponents. He then hit all his signature offense before getting Prometheus up for the Flow Down- only to be interrupted by Blockbuster barreling in. Brett Fraser having recovered evened the odds and took both himself and Blockbuster out, allowing Skip Beau to catch Prometheus in a Choke Spinebuster maneuver we haven't seen from him before for the win. Rating: 49 Match 4 CGC World Tag Team Championships Montreal Mafia vs The Predators © The Predators may have managed to shock Tough and Glorious, but here they were on the back foot immediately against the relentless action the Montreal Mafia provide at their best. This was a contest about the wiley veterans trying to delay the inevitable, and they did so for about 16 minutes- at that point, Marc Raisin hit a huge Raisin D'Etre on Nathan Black, as Dermott Ayres took Warren Technique out with a huge Roundhouse Kick, allowing his partner to secure the pin and the title win! Huge title change!! Rating: 55(!!) Match 5 Alexander Robinson (w/Sterling Whitlock) vs Dan DaLay A rather slow-paced affair, the first of the show, and one that led to a quite methodical approach from the two veterans- both known for the punishment they have dished out and taken over the years. There have definitely been more fun matches in company history, but the point is Dan's hubris caught up to him as his gloating to the crowd after hitting a particularly nasty blow that made Alexander bleed allowed his opponent to recover enough to hit the famous combo of straightjacket German Suplex and Canadian Violence to get the win. Rating: 41 Angle 2 After the contest, Alexander and Sterling were victims of a brutal assault from Gargantuan! It seems that their arrival has angered people as two attacks in two weeks is a record for non DeColt wrestlers in CGC... We are sure Gargantuan's motives will be explained as soon as possible, as well as the two new additions to the company will get a chance to exact revenge upon him. Rating: 49 Match 6 CGC Canadian Championship Donte Dunn vs Intrepid Ian Identity © This was personal. Donte has had a lot of tough luck in the past 12 months, but Ian's betrayal stinged the most. A man he thought wanted to give the fans a better product and justice against the bully that is Prometheus, really was an opportunistic weasel who wanted to fast-track his way to the top... as he did here, taking the opportunity to rake Donte's eyes whenever the referee wasn't looking, and using that damage to plant him on his head repeatedly. After Donte made a valiant comeback but didn't pin him enough to secure the win after a Spinning Wheel kick, the result couldn't be avoided. Eye rake, Identity Theft, 1. 2. 3. Champ retains. Rating: 51 Angle 3 A short music video played highlighting Joey Poison's and Whippy The Clown's strives towards the top, implying it's time for Joey to emulate Whippy's final step and become from one of the most beloved, officially one of the most legendary CGC wrestlers. Rating: 42 Main Event CGC World Championship Joey Poison vs Whippy The Clown What. A. Match. These two men had great chemistry and it was visible from the get go. Tight groundwork sequences getting all the more gritty and leading to big bombs thrown, all taking bigger and bigger tolls on the two Combatants. Around 24(!!!) minutes in, Joey Poison found the oppening to hit a sequence that would lead to his known finisher... only for Whippy to shove the referee in his way, who took the brunt of a huge lariat. Both men were in shocked and tried to fight the rest of the match, and Joey once again took advantage, hitting the Antidote's Web. But as he went to make the cover, he was met by a huge chairshot from Jamie Atherton! Cocky as hell Jamie absolutely unleashed on Joey, put Whippy's unconscious body on top of him, and went out as referee Russell Eicke came to his senses and brutally counted the pin. Shattered dreams for Joey Poison, and the message Jamie Atherton was promising was sent after all! Rating: 57 (would have been better due to chemistry but brutal face/face dynamic...) Overall rating: 57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboardTheArk Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 OFFICIAL CANADIAN GOLDEN COMBAT PRESS RELEASE Canadian Golden Combat has come to terms with the following Combatants on their release: -Prometheus -Taylor Kidd -Bash -Smash -Donte Dunn* We wish them all luck in their future endeavors and guarantee to keep bolstering our roster with the best wrestling talent in the world in order to continue our recovery period. (*He got an offer from QPW and he was angry here so I just let him go there.) (later that day, on Twitter) The Predators have announced their intent to use their Rematch Clause at Night 1 of the DeColt Wrestlefestival! In the aftermath of that decision, CGC Management decided the creation of a #1 Contender's Tag Team Tournament between 8 teams, 6 of which are full-time CGC teams you already know of. The brackets are as follows. Generation Z vs Thunder and Lightning Team CD vs Zeus and Stevie The Gopher & The Ant vs Killer Karson & ??? Clause Reed & Skip Beau vs Drake Young & Philippe LaGrenier (after Drake Young beat him in a game of Rock paper scissors and forced the French-Canadian Perfection to team up with him!**) Exciting action between teams of the revamped CGC tag division, and the tournament begins on Sunday's Title Bout Wrestling! (**Philippe decided to become a comedy wrestler, I don't have major plans for him now but I'm working on it) Title Bout Wrestling Match Card For Predictions Joey Poison vs Blockbuster Gargantuan vs Sterling Whitlock Generation Z vs Thunder & Lightning Topher Smith vs Intrepid Ian Identity Clause Reed & Skip Beau vs Drake Young & Philippe LaGrenier I will probably not stop doing the little promotion posts for the weekly show card, I just didn't want to bog down this post too much with info.

Voeltzwagon Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I would just like to say as a CGC fan I really do enjoy this diary. I have not touched upon the mod you are using, but it does seem like a difficult one. Even so I am always a sucker to see CGC plug along even if it is a shell of its former self at this point. Things can only go up at this point and I look forward to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboardTheArk Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 I would just like to say as a CGC fan I really do enjoy this diary.

Things can only go up at this point and I look forward to that. Thank you for the kind words. I agree that this scenario is really intriguing, even the mere concept of no DeColt wrestling for the company truly highlights the fall from grace (the 2022 mod is also really interesting, the roster is trash but you have two megastars, which has its own in-game complications for a nice save/diary, but IDK if I want to be tied to CGC so much given Self's absolutely incredible past diaries). I think I'm doing aggressively fine, I am not that good at booking Sports Entertainment stuff which is why I've not attempted it too much other than being family friendly and my feuds don't have as much heat as I wanted, but I've gone a few weeks ahead of the diary in the save and some exciting stuff happens. Our run post-Wrestlefestival and into Ultimate Showdown will be some Actual Good Wrestling™ so...stay tuned guys and thanks for the support!

AboardTheArk Posted August 12, 2022 Author Share Posted August 12, 2022 Vibert's Voice, Ep. 143 - Tuesday, Week 4 of February 2018 As we transition to this week's CGC segment, I have to say that I caught bits and pieces of Luck Of The Draw and, in the best way possible, it was actually very comparable to what your average high-independent wrestling company can offer you (other than the notable exceptions of CZCW and some puro, of course). So, kudos to CGC because we hadn't been here for a while. Having said that, the trend of Title Bout Wrestling being a kind of weak show in terms of lacking something great continues, as they're back to selling out the George Kinneal Gymnasium. SEGMENT 1: Intrepid Ian Identity comes out, and his face is absolutely glowing. His smile is so big his teeth are about to declare independence from Canada as a sovereign state. And he spends quite a bit of time gloating about not only defeating Donte Dunn but also running him out of CGC AND the entire province of British Columbia. Just a step closer to making destiny happen, he says before the new #1 contender, Ant-Man comes out. He shows some promo fire that had never made it to ACPW programming, talking about how Ian acts confident because he's able to constantly cheat, and in a fair fight he just doesn't measure up. The way he sees it, it's just another underdog fight to win, and usually his opponents are bigger students of the sport of wrestling. He also puts over the match Ian is about to have later on with Topher Smith, saying he doubts Ian can beat his partner, especially if his mind is set on destinies that aren't in play in the now. Good start, for some reason even if he has the ingredients Ian just hasn't figured out how to make his promos half a step better, and he keeps getting lower ratings from me than the other elite talkers in the company, Ant-Man was great though. A 49. MATCH 1: CGC World Tag Team Titles #1 Contender Tournament Quarter-Final Clause Reed & Skip Beau vs Drake Young and Philippe LaGrenier. LaGrenier kept doing a more comedic routine to his usual offense, posing way more than usual and not keeping up his sequences until Drake gave him positive reinforcement, which to me was a bit distracting, but the babyfaces gaining control was satisfying and to me this was the best Skip Beau performance so far in the year, he's really starting to come into his own- and Skip hit a Flow Down on Drake Young for the win. 37 SEGMENT 2: Backstage Interview of Jenny Playmate trying to drag words out of Gargantuan, who is allowed next to her only with the presence of about 12 security members. One of them is distractingly looking straight at the camera. What she manages to gather is that Gargantuan attacked Alexander Robinson due to disdain. He's a fighting machine that is eternal in his prime, has been since 1997, but CGC relies on aging wrestlers who become less of a challenge every passing day of their lives, and Alexander Robinson is the biggest offender of this. Which is why, at the Wrestlefestival Gargantuan once and for all will end his ambitions at being a big time player in CGC. This was probably as good as a Gargantuan talking segment could ever been, and the reason is that Jenny carried most of the weight. 54. MATCH 2: Intrepid Ian Identity vs Topher Smith. Ant-Man was on guest commentary duty, and Topher had what I would consider a breakout performance, staying in the contest for 20 whole minutes and showcasing some excellent agility and creative offense. The Gopher was extremely effective at frustrating the champ who was trying to prove he can win a match clean, but at the end of the day what swung the contest was Intrepid Ian Identity being lucky- Topher missed on a Plancha attempt to the outside, hit himself on the barricade and that gave Ian the opportunity to throw him face first into the steel post. From that point on, Ian Identity hitting the Identity theft was just an inevitability. 46. MATCH 3: CGC World Tag Team Titles #1 Contender Tournament Quarter-Final Thunder & Lightning vs Generation Z. There was only one way this could end, and the veterans did indeed win swiftly. There was only one issue that came out of this match though... Lightning Lomas picked up a back injury after a botched Double knee drive from Flip Simkins and will be out for a couple months while he's dealing with it. A sour win for Thunder & Lightning, who now that they're out I can say were heavily rumored to be the winners of the tournament because they "are Wrestlefestival worthy". The match was nothing to write home about. 32. MATCH 4: Gargantuan vs Sterling Whitlock. This was quite the physical fight, I can see why Whitlock was signed given he hasn't done too much down in Puerto Rico so far. But in truth, everything was carried by Gargantuan's awe-inspiring presence. He just let this kid hit him as hard as possible multiple times and he just responded by making him hurt. This went 8 minutes but especially for a CGC Monster match it's like it was 14-15 minutes of wrestling content. Match of the night easily, and Gargantuan ended things with an ULTIMATE BACKBREAKAHHHH... yeah I am not saying it this way again. 52. SEGMENT 3: Joey Poison has a mic in the ring, and he pours his heart out. He and Whippy achieved magic. It was one of the best moments of his career, and would have been the best if not for the abrupt interference of this bratty newcomer. Joey has given everything to CGC and he hasn't gotten nearly enough back, and he's tired. He wants his title shot rectified against Whippy, and- Jamie Atherton's music hits. The Cockiest Man Alive joins Joey in the ring, and finally explains his actions. Joey Poison has been a pillar of this promotion, but could never make a big enough impact. A legend in a small pond, and in the big leagues all he has achieved is well, make them smaller. Jamie felt like after he had achieved everything in ACPW and got the CGC call, he needed to make one thing sure: that he doesn't end up like Joey Poison. So he bided his time until he could be instantly inserted into the world title picture. And letting Whippy lose and attacking him after wouldn't have the same effect now, would it? Joey is about to attack him, but Jamie gets out of the ring and says he has an olive branch to offer. He spoke to the Matchmaker Extraordinaire of CGC, and he has booked a match. For Night 1 of The DeColt Wrestlefestival. Jamie Atherton vs Joey Poison. Winner faces Whippy The Clown for the big, shiny, gold belt on Night 2. Joey says he's on, Jamie says that he hopes Joey can arrive there since he has Blockbuster to face tonight and, this was probably the best segment they have done this year. Shockingly good. Goes slightly down due to the crowds outside Alberta still not being too into Jamie, but they were booing him loudly by the end. 66. MATCH 5: Blockbuster vs Joey Poison. Blockbuster can't hold his own in a 20 minute main event match is how I would describe this match very shortly. Joey gave a great performance and this was fine, but not on the level of main event match we've gotten accustomed to- and that level isn't even as high as CGC has given us in good times. This was a 2017 CGC match, basically, except refreshingly Joey Poison got Blockbuster into the Antidote's Web and walked away with a huge victory. 45. Overall, yeah. A good main event away from a pretty damn good show. TV ratings remain at the same 11K-ish level which is why I am not mentioning them- get out of the graveyard and then we'll talk. Other than that, a 49 show, a promise of a couple hot programs for The DeColt Wrestlefestival, and bad omens on the tag team tournament front.

AboardTheArk Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 Vibert's Voice, Ep. 144 - Tuesday, Week 1 of March 2018 [...]This week we're kind of getting it out of the way, because it's a bit of a Groundhog Day situation. CGC are running the George Kinneal Gymnasium this PPV cycle, and they keep missing on something extra that will push the shows from 'fine' to 'pretty good!'. Title Bout Wrestling is becoming a slog, but I have news that are verified and I called my sources and they told me I can just say it. Hugh Ancrie, known to wrestling fans as Mr. Impact is not getting his contract picked up by NOTBPW for no apparent reason, there's both rumors of 'rubbing the female talent the wrong way backstage' to 'they wanted room for some new House of Stone talent and with the integrated rosters someone has to be chopped for room' so, no one knows why. But, one thing we know for sure is that he has agreed on a PPA deal with CGC to debut sometime in April. This is huge as we are talking about the first House of Stone graduate to be signed to the company since Bobby Thomas and Nate Johnson were there. A historic move and it will be interesting to see how they handle him, he'd for sure debut as one of the biggest names on the roster. Oh and something else... there's one more. He's coming. It's big. And I know both that I don't know who exactly it is (I have my guesses though) and that if I said it I would not be allowed to enter British Columbia without a small army. Now, on to the actual show! SEGMENT 1: Jamie Atherton opens the show, informing the fans that now that he's oh so closer to fulfilling his ambitions, representing the indie movement in the relic that is CGC, he made a deal with Matchmaker Extraordinaire Alex DeColt. He will actually be wrestling on Television (or CGC's sorry equivalent) as long as he's allowed to choose the stipulation of the #1 Contender's match between him and Joey Poison for the DeColt Wrestlefestival's Night 1. And his choice is very simple: He can't get disqualified, but Joey Poison can. Solid delivery, I think he went a bit too hard on ripping on his own promotion and it was some of his weakest material, but this is an exciting twist to the PPV match. I maintain that since he got what he wanted he could just be wrestling now though because this felt a bit redundant and the crowd didn't love it either. 48. MATCH 1: So, the tag team tournament rolls on, and Killer Karson's tag team partner is an exciting independent talent and trainee of legend Larry Wood, Charlie Homicide! An ironic twist as I think the pairing of the two is meant to have Charlie be Billy Wood and Karson be Larry Wood, the fiery brawler and the hyper-athletic monster. This is a move I would generally be all for, unfortunately they had very obviously negative chemistry. Absolutely heartbreaking. Thankfully, Gopher & The Ant managed to carry the match so that it's not unwatchable, but all they got for their troubles was Intrepid Ian Identity interfering and costing them the match as Killer Karson pinned Ant-Man with a Killer Boot. 36 SEGMENT 2: Post-match, as Ian was laughing at the losing team and was about to take a mic to taunt them, Ant-Man hit a huge suicide dive and started unloading on Intrepid Ian Identity, but he had to sell the match so he lost the upper hand fairly quickly, and that's when security staff came in. This definitely adds some heat but wasn't a great segment in execution- be it the camera missing half the suicide dive spot or Ant-Man not selling for long enough, or Topher Smith just standing there. 41. MATCH 2: The other tag team tournament qualifier, Zeus & Stevie vs Team CD. Zeus & Stevie are guarantee of decent quality, the youngsters aren't too green, and this was fine action. Stevie is a pro at getting sympathy, Zeus is still explosive and smooth, and the kids are good at selling. Maximillion made Chucky D tap with the Olympian Clutch. Evergreen. 43. SEGMENT 3: Alexander Robinson is backstage with his silent protege and cuts a promo on Gargantuan's assault, calling him a monstrosity the likes of which are much only by Dread himself. He says that he's no blind to the fact the new generation is bound to step up, which is why he arranged for Sterling Whitlock to come in with him and support him in the CGC expedition. Alexander ends the promo by saying Gargantuan at the end of the day isn't something he hasn't come across before stylistically, he just needs to show the genetic freak that alongside PRIDE and the quest for GLORY, he needs to remember to have HONOUR. Cute promo, a bit of a mess in flow but Alex was never the greatest speaker of all time. 44. MATCH 3: Alexander Robinson & Sterling Whitlock vs Blockbuster & Gargantuan This felt like a modern day Elite Tag Series match with the way everyone hit as hard as they could, the tag spots were mostly about breaking someone's face and a lot of the finishing sequence was about countering to not get hit by devastating sequences. It was also a modern day Elite Tag Series match in the sense that it wouldn't have been as coveted in better times. Nevertheless I really liked this match with how the rest of the show went, and I appreciated Alex making that youngin' Blockbuster tap with the Crucifix Armbar. 54. SEGMENT 4: Backstage. Jenny Playmate. Joey Poison is there, and yeah we have definitely settled into a routine that needs to be broken out of soon. Joey is asked about Jamie's stipulation and how he'll be forced to adapt. He says that Jamie is out of his depth and despite the stipulation being pretty lopsided, confidence is no substitute for skill and experience. Short and sweet, finally. 61 MATCH 4: Jamie Atherton debuts against one half of the tag team champions, Dermott Ayres. Dermott forces Jamie to stay grounded for most of the match, helping to make it more impressive when Jamie hits his 5 moves of doom (missile dropkick, cannonball, hair-pull snapmare, shining wizard, Lightning Bolt). It was a showcase without burying Ayres who really made his life hell for a while, but the winner was obvious, especially with Joey seemingly not willing to partake in mind games. 45. MATCH 5: Skip Beau, Brett Fraser & Clause Reed vs Dan DaLay, Intrepid Ian Identity & Ozzie Golden. Clause Reed is not ready for a TV Main Event, and dragged down an otherwise fine matchup. 20 minutes of decent work, a lot of these guys don't really have direction and aren't feuding with each other. The more I think about it this was the worst TV Main event we've gotten from them for a while. Nevertheless, Ozzie Golden pinned the rookie. 44. As much as I am a bit disappointed, I liked one match quite a bit, there's one hot program between Jamie and Joey (that could get hotter and it should in my opinion, they kept them separate for no reason this week), and it feels like I am starting to get who are Adrian's guys more clearly each week that passes. Therefore I am not dropping below last week's 47, even though part of me wants to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboardTheArk Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 I am just getting through these shows before the Wrestlefestival so the fun begins after the next couple shows. That being said, I don't want to make it a slog to read, so I have a trick up my sleeve to do something different in the next few days for the next show. Just to not have you guys reading the same things and the guy I am writing as burying the show (besides, I am hoping we get good enough so that we don't have to bury the show soon-ish lol). Match Card For Predictions for next week's Title Bout Wrestling Killer Karson & Charlie Homicide vs Skip Beau & Clause Reed Sterling Whitlock vs Jamie Atherton Intrepid Ian Identity & Team CD vs Gopher & The Ant & Curtis Mobstar Brett Fraser vs Gargantuan Generation Z vs The Predators Ozzie Golden vs Whippy The Clown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
619 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I'm not familiar with the Canadian CV scene but I'm in awe of how perfect your Vibert's Voice format is for storytelling. I love how it allows you to go into more detail about the most interesting segments, do short summaries of any less significant stuff and poke fun at any holes in your booking. And the additional touches make it even better: it being someone who used to work for the company, using the transitions to flag what's happening in other companies and the "my listeners are making me do this against my will" narrative, which I suspect might have a real-life inspiration. I had huge sympathy for the Killer Karson debut as I had a similar experience last night: being sure I'd unearthed a stud and taking it really badly when his first match was a dud. I took motivation from the way you powered through it in the next few shows, and then you got the bad break with his tag chemistry. So unfortunate. I was really into all things Jamie Atherton. The heel hypocrisy of refusing to wrestle, then complaining when he wasn't allowed to at Luck Of The Draw. And how that set up what he did at the show instead, which in turn has given you the ideal framework for your two-night show. Very smooth. So I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to the Canadian CV (well, alternative CV). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I thoroughly enjoyed my introduction to the Canadian CV (well, alternative CV). Lovely comment! Thank you so much. -I agree on the merits of the Vibert's Voice format. It was mostly chosen because I am terrible at writing promos and angles and it helps me get to the point of them, but there's definitely some good characterization. When I said on my last post it had gotten kind of boring, I meant due to the shows being similar both in quality and booking. I will try to flex my booking muscles more later on because I am envisioning this diary to be long term (which is why now that it's early days I've been getting through shows quickly, as it's the part of the save when we suck and the new roster needs to be established). Poking fun at "hm, why would this segment get a 41 instead of the others" as Phil Vibert is indeed very fun for me too. -Killer Karson bombing instantly is big heartbreak for me, but the injuries to my biggest tag team contenders are also annoying. But we persevere. I will get even more stubborn in my attempts to push this guy because most future Power House graduates absolutely suck from what I've seen. -Thanks, I agree that it's been the most imaginative piece of booking so far, the rest is a bit of just moving parts for popularity's sake, but you gotta do it when all your roster has chilly momentum. And getting up his momentum and popularity is the reason I got him to wrestle, because his promos and interference had only got him up to "Recognisable".

Ozzie Golden (50) Angle: Mexican Standoff between Whippy, Joey and Jamie (52) Overall rating: 57 (thanks random spike on DeColt promo) Phil: This week, we're doing something a little different for our CGC segment. See, the company is on the road to The DeColt Wrestlefestival, a two-day extravaganza that serves both as a big wrestling show and a wholesome Community fair in Vancouver. And I wanted to talk about them on a little bit of a wider scope. So, I brought in the perfect man to do that! CGC Color Commentator, former Elite Wrestling Agent, Friend Of The Show and Head Booker Adrian Garcia! Adrian, buddy, how are you doing? Adrian: Wow, what a warm introduction! I'm doing good Phil, the Wrestlefestival fever has taken over me, and I am glad to see it's contragious. Phil: Great, great. Now, I am going to start with a big question. Might be a little bit unnecessarily philosophical. But I had your job, and there were three DeColts wrestling in the company. CGC is, as they say, DeColt country. So in these turbulent, rebuilding, and yet fairly exciting times, what is CGC? Adrian: Ah, well. I think the answer here lies in CGC history itself. You see, Steve debuted in late 1992, being the earliest DeColt to do so, and the DeColt sons didn't rise up the card until 1996. The company had thrived for those six years, and let me tell you why -and this has nothing to do with my personal vendetta with the family, and their dogs, and them destroying the Elite. Their first world champion was Sam Keith- for my money the best North American wrestler of all time. The belt was established by him, Ed Monton, Larry Vessey, Runaway Train, and Eric Tyler. Chris Morissete established the Canadian belt. What do all those guys have in common? For one, they're wrestling legends, some of them grace all-time lists interns on Gabe's blog put out. Secondly, they were all exciting wrestlers in their prime who used this opportunity to have a run that would propel them to superstardom, and everyone except Ed went on to other things, most of them bigger. This is something I have been trying to recreate with the Elite. Leading John Maverick, Eddie Chandler, Sean Deeley, all technical marvels that wanted to reach the top of the industry like Eric Tyler and Sam Keith. Having guys around like Dan DaLay and Brett Fraser who are as tough as Larry and Ed. But, there's something the guys from the past had that the current newest generation on the roster don't have- which is that they had wrestled all over the world and honed their craft. Our homegrown guys are the future and they might be special good (and I think a couple of them really are), but we need experience. Someone who has wrestled in the USA, in Mexico, who can tie you up in knots AND talk people into seats. I think that the DeColts, with all their incredible strengths and charisma and ability to overcome all adversity and truly make these fans feel things that most other companies can dream of achieving, were rarely the best wrestlers on their show (but they were the best fighters), and they weren't even always the most fun attractions- of course, I am taking myself out of that equasion as it'd be unfair. But I am very, very much rambling and veering off topic, so I'd like to hear you on the matter, because your job isn't on the line this time! Phil: Hm. Well, when I was booking, the Elite was at its most successful period, let's leave it at that. I do agree that despite the cool and silly gimmicks and the completely mistaken SWF comparisons, CGC is a company where good wrestlers get big time runs. Look at Whippy, his career would be dead anywhere else, and the Whippy character has been popular for 14 years straight- which is also attributed to his excellent talent. The kind of excellent talent you can hire for your business with Indeed! The hiring partner that [sEGWAY INTO AD] *Whoosh Sound effect* Phil: Hugh Ancrie. Talk us through that big signing. Bobby Thomas was the last one to wrestle for your company from Stone country, and my sources have said another wrestler coming from there has been rejected as you've been overhauling the roster, so what is so enticing about "Mr. Impact"? Adrian: Phil, I know a complete package when I see one. I knew it when I recruited four CGC World Champions into the Elite. Eddie Chandler was the best of them, for my money, although I can't discriminate between killers and absolutely fabulous wrestlers. Hugh definitely has some...undesirable NOTBPW traits, but he's a handsome fellow with stamina for ages that can beat anyone in many different ways. That makes him Elite material and by extension CGC material. When I look at the roster, I want to see versatile wrestlers. Surprising wrestlers. Folks who look good in a photoshoot or an advertisement, who can make the crowds go "wow" when they hit a move and the folks at home to fall in love with Canadian Sports Entertainment because it's exciting, and competitive, and brutal. Look at Jamie Atherton. He can twist his body to hit you from any angle, he can look cool like a Tarantino character, and he can talk people into wanting to see his ass kicked. Now imagine if he was 4 inches taller and 20 lbs heavier. That's the margins in the game of wrestling. Phil: Any aces up your sleeve for the festival itself? Adrian: Just one... that I am comfortable with giving away. After mediation from Alexander Robinson, there will be an interpromotional showcase match on both nights featuring talent from FREEDOM Carribean Wrestling. I wanted to bring back that Festival tradition, and this was the perfect opportunity to make it happen. Phil (while giving a shit eating grin that can't be transcribed through podcast audio): How are things with the boss? Head honcho Alex DeColt is rumored to have stepped back in terms of running the day-to-day in the company, but surely with all these issues in the past few years there's an influence there- Adrian: Alex has been extremely supportive, enjoying the habit of spending more time at the Power House grooming the next generation of Combatants. It's been a big stress off his shoulders- let's face it, most people in the business don't act as President while also booking, it can drive you mad! Phil: Fair enough. Now, the question I ask of every guest. Five best/favorite current wrestlers- non CGC please. Adrian: Just five? Alright then. Um... Gino Montero. Masaru Ugaki. Brooke Tyler. Angry Gilmore. Fuyuko Higa. Many more. Feels good that none of the bookers will call me to ask if I'm signing them, because they know I can't. Phil: Wow, someone's watching a lot of different products for inspiration, huh? Can't blame you, there's only so many times we can all copy Texas Wrestling League stuff from the 80's before we get called out. Adrian, thank you so much for doing this, and I hope I can get you back at least once until the end of the year- we can do progress report, eh? Because let me tell you there's so many listeners who message me, unashamedly rooting for you. Adrian: Thanks for having me, Phil. If I can leave with a little statement: Everyone, please cancel your Vibert Voice patreon subscriptions and use that money to buy both nights of Wrestlefestival, best PPV of the year, and my commentary is all the CGC guidance you need! Phil(after fake laugh): Can we cut this out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboardTheArk Posted September 2, 2022 Author Share Posted September 2, 2022 OOC: I was a fool to not have faith and wait- let's get back to this! Vibert's Voice - Ep. 146, Tuesday Week 3 of March 2018 Another week of ending the "TCW Is Great" show with a palette cleanser, CGC Title Bout Wrestling! We are getting closer to the Wrestlefestival, and this is something you definitely couldn't tell from looking at the show, as there's a lot of similarities in structure with how the last two months have been. I think this is either my honeymoon with "well at least logical things are happening" train of thought ending, or me desperately waiting for new arrivals that aren't forced to have 8 minute matches to get established as big deals. Regardless, the run of shows in the George Kinneal Gymnasium continues, which means yet another venue sellout! The show went as follows: SEGMENT 1: The show opens with Joey Poison talking to his manager, Faith backstage. She tries to reassure him that his passive stance the past few weeks has been logical, and any aggression will play into Jamie Atherton's plans to get him disqualified at the DeColt Wrestlefestival. Joey says that he hears her, but that doesn't make him want to punch that guy in the face less, and tonight's main event will be a nice chance to blow off some steam. This was fine, I don't see why you'd open your show like that other than introduce the main event tag team match I guess. 40. MATCH 1: The Montreal Mafia and Zeus & Stevie vs Killer Karson, Charlie Homicide, and The Predators. Multi-man action helped hide the previously mentioned terrible chemistry between Karson and Charlie, and we got a pretty good, pretty standard TV match. They got enough time to work through every signature spot they should have, and Zeus remains an incredible hot tag. Stevie Grayson rolled up Charlie Homicide for the W, and this gets a 47. SEGMENT 2: The match desolves into a massive brawl between the 8 competitors, that as officials get in the middle to seperate everyone ends with Marc Raisin hitting a huge suicide dive on about 20 people. Silly, but very fun and effective at building some heat in the tag division. 43. SEGMENT 3: Whippy The Clown gives an interview to Jenny Playmate, saying that he feels like he's been set aside and become an afterthought due to Joey's issues with Atherton, and the Wrestlefestival is his time to shine. He's the one being celebrated, and he'll give everyone an incredible show- baloon animals, magic tricks, lots of laughter, and incredible wrestling- consider tonight's main event the rehearsal. 60 for a very strong promo in my opinion. SEGMENT 4: So, since Intrepid Ian Identity picked Ant-man's opponent for tonight, there's a small clip ran in picture-in-picture, revealing that the opponent is Jason Thunder due to the fact Thunder & Lightning beat Gopher and the Ant in their debut match, and he wanted to remind Ant-man that that's where he belongs- in the tag division, and not particularly close to the top either. Cute, I liked it. 52 MATCH 2: Ant-Man vs Jason Thunder. They got license to go all out and deliver a fast paced match, and the result was...fine. They're both good, but something was missing from making this a match that could get me really excited- maybe it's the limitations of them not being too over on weekly TV, but I feel this would be better in a heated ACPW Event rather than here. Still, as Ant-Man hit the Antidote for the win, this was good enough for a 45. SEGMENT 5: Ant-Man picks up the mic and reveals Intrepid Ian Identity's opponent- Skip Beau! Says that Skip is one of the hardest working guys in the roster, and is the type of opponent he'd want to face if he was champ, so he's giving Skip a huge opportunity tonight. 40. MATCH 3: Intrepid Ian Identity vs Skip Beau. This actually went quite long, rare for a non-main event match, but it was a really nice view into the future of the company. They aren't ready to be having excellent matches yet, but this had its moments where you could see the brawling and the showmanship truly work. It also produced one of the few unpredictable moments they've had on weekly TV, as Ant-Man distracted Ian and that allowed Skip to hit the Flow Down for the unexpected victory! 49. MATCH 4: Gargantuan & Jamie Atherton vs Joey Poison & Whippy The Clown. High stakes main event pitting what's basically the four most important people on Title Bout Wrestling together, and the result is a solid TV main event, where everyone got to shine and Gargantuan absolutely wrecked both veterans in sadistic ways- I can't see how he's not World Champion for a third time by Fall honestly, he's been so protected. To the point where the finish was Jamie Atherton tagging himself in to steal the pin on Joey Poison as Gargantuan is hitting him with a huge powerbomb. 53, would have been higher if I didn't feel it makes the people in the Wrestelfestival main event storyline look slightly weak. SEGMENT 6: This segment heavy episode is wrapped up with Jamie Atherton cutting a promo over the fallen Poison, stating that if Joey isn't going to come at him, he'll bring the battle to Joey. He starts threateningly walking towards Faith, until he gets a tap on his shoulder, only to turn around and get absolutely whacked by a title belt shot from Whippy The Clown. He looks down at his fallen challengers, an intimidating Gargantuan, then the scared-but-grateful Faith, and he leaves. 68. Overall, probably their best show so far this year, and ironically the one with the fewest matches. There was some clear progress made on two of the major programs for the Wrestlefestival, got Whippy The Clown some 'cred' back after a couple weeks in the background, and the wrestling keeps getting more and more solid- hopefully soon it's also 'really good'! Overall, a 58 grade for Title Bout Wrestling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
