AboardTheArk Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 VIBERT'S VOICE - Ep. 162, Tuesday Week 3 of 2018 That was a weirdly low stakes go home show for the second biggest PPV of the year (on a company that arguably has a big 3). I have noticed Adrian's tendency to keep a lot of the compelling stuff for the show and have the TV just be steady like the pre-TCW/SWF war era. I guess it makes sense due to NOTBPW being too far ahead to call it a contest between them, and they have definitely had a few weeks of very strong TV, but I don't know. The tag matches are cool to watch but very conservative booking, and in every segment the feud participants were kept separate this show. A curious choice. Regardless, let's dive in: SEGMENT 1: Joey Poison opens the show with a chance for a rebuttal towards Ian's promo from last week. And this is all about his journey, his connection to the fans and how he's not ready for his run to end. Main eventing the Wrestlefestival and Ultimate Showdown in the same year is a huge deal for him, and he sees Ian's dismissal of him as a personal insult. Friday will be a war, and he's going to fight with everything left in him, no matter what doctors or critics have to say. Joey promises to give Ian hell, and to be left standing. You know what, sure. We needed a quintessential fiery babyface promo and we got it. Segment Rating: 64 MATCH 1: Lewis Frey vs Quibble The Clown. Fun little match, Quibble is fighting for a new contract at this point. Lewis Frey is fundamentally sound but he hasn't yet figured out how to stand out, so he gets outshadowed quite a bit by the veteran's hard hitting sequences. Lewis managed to drive the action to the mat to elongate the match, but some cheating and tricks by the clown led to a finish, where Quibble hit the Dominator into a Gutbuster to end the match. You'd think Lewis would pick up the W vs what is practically a jobber but I guess they want him to pay his dues. Segment Rating: 47 SEGMENT 2: The Canadian Blondes are backstage with Jenny Playmate for an interview, which they basically use to endlessly taunt and mock Robinson & Whitlock. Despite the fact they're a couple good looking guys, they have never been the most comfortable with a mic, and it shows. However, they hold their own and that's important because I am not sure there's a tag team that can cut a promo in this company. Segment Rating: 43 MATCH 2: Brett Fraser vs Whippy The Clown. Following his shock loss (even if he wasn't pinned), last week, Whippy shows his dangerous side dismantling an opponent who even if he has been losing a lot lately, always looks good. Here, his stiff elbows and punches just give him some breathing room in between (mostly) legal brutal assaults from the clown prince of grappling, before Whippy wins with a new move, the "Why so Serious?" lock, a variation of the Stretch Muffler. Segment Rating: 49 SEGMENT 3: Whippy grabs a mic and calls Topher Smith out, to let him know his win last week was a fluke and he wants him at Ultimate Showdown because, to him, it's unthinkable that he wouldn't have a match there and it's an opportunity to shut up anyone who thinks he's not still the best wrestler in the company. Topher can't say no to an opportunity like it, but he gets a few lines and holds his own, telling him that the joke will be on him after their match. Segment Rating: 47 MATCH 3: Alexander Robinson, Sterling Whitlock and Skip Beau vs Hugh Ancrie and The Canadian Blondes. A lot of starpower in this ring, technically this month there has also been a mini feud involving the blondes and Skip so this could be seen as the blow off. Getting Whitlock and Ancrie in the same ring is a nice side effect, and this continues the new trend (after I was complaining about the monotone structuring of tag team matches) of everyone getting their shine and bomb spots instead of clear control segments. It fits these 6, and as Whitlock lariats the blondes out of the ring, Ancrie gets him in the Dragon Sleeper, forcing him to tap out to keep fresh for his title match. Great stuff. Segment Rating: 63 SEGMENT 4: Alex DeColt addresses the fans. He says that an unsanctioned match is probably a bad idea: multiply the violence on his retired body to not go back on his retirement decision on a technicality. But Jamie was right in one regard: he did retire too young as a choice, in order to run the company. And perhaps that has bred complacence and allowed Jamie to think he can mess with the boss...well he just had to settle things. Besides, the power to do 'anything' if he manages to come out of top, he knew immediately what he wanted. And he'll announce it to the world, DeColt country. When he beats Jamie Atherton, he'll send him to the DeColt powerhouse for intense training. Beat those bad habits out of "White Lightning", teach him respect for professional wrestling and show him how it is to feel small, because clearly in the cruiserweight land of ACPW he got too comfortable being a bully. Segment Rating: 78, Alex is an all-time promo (and yet perhaps the worst of the DeColts). MATCH 4: Charlie Homicide vs Robin DaLay. OK so...Robin DaLay has gone through two training facilities and he still looks kind of green out there. Despite that, the flashes are very intriguing and I am into the angle against his dad. Charlie was a predictable loser here, but he still looks good and I do see the Larry Wood training in him. A bit of a nothing burger match, but I am sure they face off again down the line in a quite more prestigeous match. Robin hit the DaLay Down to win this one. Segment Rating: 41 SEGMENT 5: Adrian Garcia exits Jamie Atherton's locker room and a camera catches him. He shouts them off. Skip is close and warns Garcia that he better not mess with the Unsanctioned Match, because all the Power House graduates have heard the stories of his crimes against the DeColts, and he would have no qualms about giving him his comeuppance. Hugh Ancrie comes over, taunting Skip about perhaps being distracted from their upcoming Classic Canadian Catch rules match. Segment Rating: 61 MATCH 5: Gargantuan & Intrepid Ian Identity vs Joey Poison & Marc Dubois. Slightly disappointing, both sides held out a bit in order to save the good stuff for Ultimate Showdown. Ian played weasely heel in peril a lot to the faces, then Gargantuan got a hot tag and hit both guys with Ultimate Backbreakers for the win. How can an unbeatable monster lose against the biggest signing of the company on Friday? Can't wait to find out.

AboardTheArk Posted December 5, 2022 Author Share Posted December 5, 2022 CGC ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN PREVIEW: THE BIGGEST FIGHT OF THE SUMMER CGC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP LAST MAN STANDING MATCH: INTREPID IAN IDENTITY VS JOEY POISON (C) Ian failed at In The Company Of Legends against Joey Poison and his huge weapon, the wrist-clutch Poison Driver. But after surviving a star-shudded #1 contender's match to get another shot, he seems to believe that the biggest obstacle against manifesting his destiny was One Fall rules. In a Last Man Standing match, both men are ready to risk their careers for the Ultimate prize in Professional Wrestling in British Columbia. Will second time be the charm for Ian or will Joey continue defying every critic, all the odds and conventional wisdom in this Cinderella run? UNSANCTIONED MATCH: ALEX DECOLT VS JAMIE ATHERTON Alex DeColt facing off against the personification of hubris, trying to teach the cockiest person in the world a valuable lesson. An absolute delight for all of us that we will see him wrestle again, but considering the circumstances and stipulation, perhaps "wrestle" is a strong word. This is going to be an absolute war between two unrelenting sides. The thinking man's DeColt surely has a plan risking so much, right? GARGANTUAN VS MARC DUBOIS The Genetically Modified Machine is yet another in a long-list of CGC mainstays who haven't taken kindly to Marc Dubois' homecoming. The difference between everyone else and Gargantuan though, is that Gargantuan is the most fearsome combination of strength and brains. Dubois keeps winning and keeps surviving, but his credentials go up against the Ultimate opposition, a man who has only lost to a DeColt, or cooperation. CGC CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP 'CANADIAN CLASSIC CATCH RULES' MATCH: HUGH ANCRIE VS SKIP BEAU (C) You know, I think we needed a second one. Their first match was thrilling, but abrupt. However, what was probably not needed was Hugh Ancrie having the deck stacked in his favor in such an absurd way. The rules of this match suit him to a T, while they present Skip with a huge problem to solve. This could be one for the ages, and it will mark the transition of the Canadian title to a new legacy and purpose. CGC WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS: TEAM STIFF 'EM (ALEXANDER ROBINSON & STERLING WHITLOCK) VS THE CANADIAN BLONDES (C) Robinson and Whitlock's no-nonsense attitude against The Blondes' flair and cunning approach to wrestling is a really interesting match-up. Robinson is one of the great Gaijin tag team wrestlers and the Blondes have been successful in both sides of the Canadian border, so the wildcard remains: is Sterling Whitlock ready to taste gold? The young hard-hitter has made a lot of fans lately with some exhilerating performances, but Flash and Golden have been on a crazy winstreak and arguably have more momentum heading into the match. Perhaps not as evenly matched as The Montreal Mafia vs The Canadian Blondes, but equally unpredictable and fun. DAN DALAY VS ROBIN DALAY (w/ Faith) Clear cut, this is about tradition vs the new era, even if in this case tradition is about doing everything the wrong way. Dan is heartbreaking to see his kid not resort to his bullying, cheating, torturing ways, and suspects Robin has been trying to perhaps impress his manager rather than do things the DaLay way. Maybe college made him too soft. But Robin has been impressive as they come in the start of his CGC career, and perhaps can teach his father a lesson he might actually listen to rather than what the DeColt family has been doing. TOPHER SMITH VS WHIPPY THE CLOWN You can't do Ultimate Showdown without the man who has been the MVP runner-up for CGC this year. Whippy feels like there's a lot to prove after consecutive Ls to Poison and Dubois, and Topher beat him in a tag team match a couple weeks ago so he must now pay for his sins. Whippy is armed with an exciting new submission move, but Topher has perhaps the most innovative arsenal of maneuvers in the company. Will he be able to get a statement win, and move closer towards the momentum his partner Ant-Man has reached in their early CGC careers, or is Whippy still as good as he claims he is? DON'T MISS OUT ON A HUGE NIGHT OF ACTION! THE ABBOTSFORD RECREATION COMPLEX IS ALMOST SOLD OUT! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboardTheArk Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) CANADIAN GOLDEN COMBAT PRESENTS: ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN 2018 ATTENDANCE: 2000 at the Abbotsford Recreational Complex (SOLD OUT) PPV BUYS: 17513 MATCH 1: TOPHER SMITH VS WHIPPY THE CLOWN VS Interestingly, this is the second time these two faced in the past two months, and the first match could also be seen as an extension of Whippy's identity crisis, where he almost lost after trying to match Smith in the air. Maybe there's something in Topher that gets Whippy's ego and anger out. As for this match, it was more multidimensional than the prior one. Whippy did some good work being the veteran who tried to take Smith out of his game by any means necessary, especially with head blows to set up his new finisher. Topher showed a more pragmatic approach than usual, mixing in a lot of impact in between the airborne moves, and the ebbs and flows of momentum made this very watchable. Topher went for the Gopher Suicide Dive twice, and he landed it the first time but it couldn't keep Whippy down. Second time the veteran had it scouted and the way Toph crashed and burned was brutal to watch. The "Why So Serious?" Lock got Whippy the win, and the cheeky a-hole wore a joker-smile pattern on his forearm sleeve to plaster it as he locked the move across his opponent's face. SEGMENT RATING: 62 MATCH 2: DAN DALAY VS ROBIN DALAY (W/FAITH) VS (W/ ) The energy in this match was off. Dan felt inevitable before it begun, people have seen this story multiple times. But the first thing that happened was Robin dropping him with a shoulder block. Dan was a passenger in this match, briefly pulling his tricks to gain control by clubbing his son on the ear or hit a kidney cheap shot, but you can see him be manhandled by Robin in a shocking way for a portion of the match. To be fair, it's mostly body slams and other low-impact moves because suplexing Dan DaLay is really difficult, but it's still a remarkable sight. Dan has to bring out some old weapons of his from the chamber to get control back with some kicking that a man with his back should not be attempting, but they were effective regardless. He took his son to school with a backfist and a Delayed Suplex but it wasn't enough to get the three count. His attempts to keep Robin on the backseat were futile as Robin started outlasting him and finally managed to hit a Brainbuster on his dad, showing his resistance was waning. He lifted Dan by the head trying to go for the DaLay down, but he got an eye rake for his troubles, and as Faith got on the apron to protest, Dan pushed Robin right into his manager. Robin stopped in time but the opening was enough as he turned right into a DaLay Down and a loss. SEGMENT RATING: 47 MATCH 3: CGC WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS MATCH - TEAM STIFF 'EM VS THE CANADIAN BLONDES (C) VS Savage and Golden are like peanut and butter, they're so good together. But Robinson and Whitlock came into this match with the apropriate seriousness and preparation, and proceeded to beat the total crap out of these guys. Sterling got more burn in the early part, doing his best to absorb all the high-octane offense and just grind them down to a halt. Robinson isn't washed though, he can dominate both of these guys for stretches, his issue is that he has to work smarter rather than harder. Their frequent alternations and just laying every bit they had into every hit did de-calibrate the Blondes enough for Robinson to almost get the win with a Canadian Violence torpedo european uppercut from out of nowhere, but Ozzie was there to break things up. Not missing a beat, Robinson tagged Sterling in who proceeded to lariat Flash out of his boots multiple times, and that's when he tagged his mentor in for their tag finisher: Sterling got Flash up at the Electric Chair position, and Robinson went for a top rope Canadian VIolence, but Ozzie sneakily pulled Flash away and the veteran fell on his shoulder. The Blondes were in a familiar position at this point, double teaming Whitlock to get him out of the ring and in no position to intervene, and when the referee took Ozzie out to not get the match thrown out on a DQ, Flash kicked Robinson in the balls, tagged Ozzie in, who hit a Phoenix Splash for the win. SEGMENT RATING: 66 MATCH 4: CGC CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP, CLASSIC CANADIAN CATCH RULES MATCH: HUGH ANCRIE VS SKIP BEAU (C) VS Hugh knew how big of an opportunity the rules advanage was, and he instantly pressed it by hitting Skip with a headbutt in order to anger him to get a punch in, but Skip just took it and kept staring at him. That still gave Hugh an opening however, and he instantly took the match to the mat. They scrapped a lot but Hugh kept having an upper hand and managed to get an armbar on Skip, who instantly had to waste his rope break. After the reset, Ancrie's point advantage allowed him to just start a war of attrition on Skip, going move-work over limb-move on him and not allowing him to breathe in between sequences. After about 3 minutes of Hugh completely in control, he hit his first German Suplex. Skip kicked out but Hugh kept the bridge and transitioned into a second one. Skip kicked out again, and when Hugh went for a third he clobbered him with a back elbow to get out. After the sequence, a still groggy Skip punched Hugh in the face, losing his second point. Down 1-3, Skip went all out to stay in the match, but every power move of his was against a fresh opponent so it couldn't even get a nearfall. Skip tried some desperate submissions like a brain squeeze, but Hugh got out without even having to use his rope break. However, after Skip hit him with a second headbutt, honestly more out of anger than strategy, he noticed how it took Hugh a count from the referee to get up, for the first time in the match. And that's when things clicked for him. Repeatedly dropping Hugh on his head had a result to the point where a freefall brainbuster made him use his rope break to get a reset. At 1-2, Skip didn't want to go for a tie. He'd knock Hugh out. Of course, Ancrie manage to catch up at this point, and he tried to get Skip down with every possible reversal, but the scrapping wouldn't go in his favour when it's more feral than technical. Ancrie manage to get behind Skip and attempt the Crying Game, but at the point of transition to the Dragon Sleeper, Skip reversed into a jawbreaker. The head seems to be a good substitute for the first, folks. Skip immediately hit the Flow Down, but Hugh got up from the count...to which Skip responded with a butt slam to the back of the head, absolutely dazing Hugh. Trying to go for a second Flow Down, Hugh kicked him in the balls to concede a second point and get some more seconds of recovery time, but the pendulum had just swinged too much. Hugh jogged into a series of slaps and a headbutt, Skip lifted him with one hand to the neck and Hugh instantly went for a Fujiwara Armbar but couldn't properly lock it in. Skip shifted and shuffled and locked his own Dragon Sleeper, which he used as a transition to the second Flow Down, and the winning three count. Skip completely changed the landscape of the stipulation and got the biggest win of his career so far! SEGMENT RATING: 67 After the contest, Skip picked up a mic and announced the new fate of the championship. From now on, it's going to be known as the Canadian Chaos Championship, a title where the champion can choose the wrestling stipulation in which it is defended. The crowd loved it. SEGMENT RATING: 60 MATCH 5: GARGANTUAN VS MARC DUBOIS VS Gargantuan has the DNA of the greatest warriors in human history, making him an even bigger threat in terms of strategy than his enormous physical strength. He managed to lull Dubois into a different gameplan by having an all-out brawl with him. He hit...weaker than usual, making Dubois able to keep up in a war of strikes and blood, until he couldn't. Dubois tried to change his tactics when he caught on to the fact that Gargantuan cannot be slowed down that way, going for a more high-flying type of match, but it's called high risk offense for a reason. Gargantuan is the best at possibly capitalizing on any mistake, his power moves are the most devastating arguably in the history of wrestling. Dubois hit the Comeback Lariat to start his usually unstoppable comeback, but he just bounced off of Gargantuan. He hit a series of missile dropkicks to the knee, and they started having an effect. A Kobe Crusher finally downed Gargantuan, so Dubois got to the top rope to hit the 5 Star Prospect Splash...which connected. 1...2... kickout. Dubois superkicked him and went for the Skull Crusher part of the Model Solution, but Gargantuan just flexed his muscles to get out of it, and the attempt by Dubois to hit a disaster kick led to him getting powerbombed, which was the beginning of the end. A Gorilla Press Slam and and Ultimate Backbreaker later, Gargantuan got the win of the year. SEGMENT RATING: 60 A video package followed, highlighting Jamie Atherton's brutal attack on Alex DeColt, and DeColt's career highlights, really emphasizing that he's stepping in the ring in order to protect the sarcity of his legacy. SEGMENT RATING: 49 UNSANCTIONED MATCH: ALEX DECOLT VS JAMIE ATHERTON VS When Alex DeColt put his retirement on the line it was a good decision, because this wasn't quite a wrestling match. The first thing DeColt did in his return to the ring was get out. He grabbed a steel chair and begun chasing Jamie Atherton, who run up the commentators table and used it to kick Alex in the head as he tried to climb it, the grabbed the ring bell and begun assaulting his boss. Alex was bleeding about three minutes in. He did gain back control using his classic hits to the pressure points which give him the most breathing time you can have in a strike exchange, and the two brawled through the crowd. Alex put Jamie through a merch table and then begun dragging him towards the stage, in order to start attempting to get the win at a point visible to the crowd. A Body Slam on the ramp made a horrible sound and at that point Alex went to Crippler position to pick up a table and hit the DeColt Driver (Straightjacket Drop) through it. He poses for the crowd and tries to go for the pin as *THUD!*. He goes down and the camera shows Adrian Garcia with a steel chair over Alex DeColt. He hits him again, and again, and again, and again...and that's when Minnesota Awesome and Skip Beau come out as the Power House graduates to chase Garcia off. At this point, Atherton has started recovering, and he rolls towards the ring in order to pick up a hockey stick from under the ring, which he uses to further main a defenseless Alex DeColt, before choking him out with it. The faces try to stop Jamie, but the referee has clearly seen the boss out cold. He awards Jamie Atherton the win. Jamie runs away as DeColt and Garcia are stretchered out. SEGMENT RATING: 60 CGC WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP LAST MAN STANDING MATCH: INTREPID IAN IDENTITY VS JOEY POISON (C) VS The Main Event of the night was atypical, and not just because usual road agent Stuart Ferdinand was on commentary duty. Ian tried to keep the action in the ring for the early portion of the match, trying to emphasize his belief that the only reason Joey won last time was the three count and instead trying to hit him with as many moves in succession as possible. Joey's 4C experience however proved very useful, as he instantly tried to create as many situations of risk and uncertainty as possible. He took of the turnbuckle pad at two corners, he grabbed weapons as diverse as a ladel and a wooden box, and he consantly went in and out of the ring to get Ian off his rhythm. With that being the situation, we didn't get any big, decisive maneuvers in the first five minutes of the match, at which point Ian's ego and impatience took over and he tried to go for an early Identity Theft (Rock Bottom), which ended in Joey pulling back and having Ian go face first in the exposed steel of the turnbuckle. A few ladel shots later, Joey was free to grab another weapon, taking a ladder and pushing it in the ring. Ian instantly dropkicked it, sending it onto Joey, and then climbing up the ropes with the box and using it as a sort of Double Axe Handle to the outside. This incredible sequence gets a six count, and Ian proceeded to punch Joey 28 straight times before putting him back in the ring. He took the ladder and beat Joey down with it, and left it aside as he tried to bench press Joey and throw him all the way to the announce table, but Joey slipped away and hit a huge Twist of Fate that bought him time. He threw Ian to the outside before grabbing the ladder, dragging it out as he exited the ring, and hitting Ian with a huge DDT on the floor. Referee Jonathan Taylor begun counting, but Joey got Ian up and laid him on the announce table, before setting up the ladder and beginning to climb it. He went for a senton off of the ladder onto the announce table, but Ian rolled to the side. As the referee begun counting and reached 7, Ian picked Joey up. He wasn't done with him, and he carried him to the ring. He posed for the crowd with his arms aloft, and went for an Identity Theft to put Joey away, but Joey locked his arm to prevent the move. Ian went for a punch, which was countered as Joey turned Ian upside down and hit the Poison Driver in the middle of the ring, on a chair that was retrieved in the early portion of the match but barely used. Both men collapsed. Joey went up at 6, and Ian laid there dead until the referee reached the count of 8, at which point he managed to use all his willpower to get up right before 10. Joey slapped Ian as hard as he could and started slamming his opponent's face on the exposed turnbuckle, but an elbow to his stomach reversed the roles. Ian knew he needed something extra to end this, so he suplexed Joey as hard as he could to get an opening, and brought the steel steps in the middle of the ring. Joey clutched onto the half broken steel chair, waving it towards Ian with almost no real threat behind the move. Ian took a desperation chair shot and got absolutely rocked. Joey saw the steel steps and lifted Ian's almost dead body on the top rope in a seated position, before trying to lift him up in position for a Spanish Fly that he hasn't hit in over 5 years. As he almost completed the set up, Ian got him with a vicious bite right over the eye and transitioned into a top rope Identity Theft on the Steel Steps for what will probably remain the CGC bump of the year. He himself didn't get up until the referee counted 8, but Joey was out for the count. We got a new CGC World Champion. SEGMENT RATING: 64 Ian hugged the title as hard as he could. It took him a while to head towards the ramp and hit his first pose as champ as is customary, but when he got there he asked for a microphone from production. After he got one, the following ensued. Ian: "I told you I would do it." Ian: "Now I am CGC World Champion, and no one is getting this title off of me for a long, long time. This company will be rebuilt in my image." It's unclear how much of the pausing was him being out of breath, or concussed, or the crowd's boos. Ian: "And that's a DeColt guarantee." Wait, what?

knkmaster69 Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 What an amazing show. Every match delivered, and this roster is really coming into its own. The miracle run of Poison is over, with Identity finally coming into his own and making his way to the top of the card! And that DeColt v Atherton match? Superb. You've really built the foundations of a CGC comeback and i love it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AboardTheArk Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 CGC ROSTER OVERVIEW A move that has been long overdue considering I changed quite a big part of the roster in my first almost 7 months in charge, so this overview/update is a necessary one moving forward and for any readers who just catch up at intervals. So here they are, mostly ranked by popularity unless there's reasons for convenience. Is this in kayfabe? Is this backstage info? Who knows. MAJOR STARS: Alex DeColt (43): Despite having been forced out of retirement, don't expect the boss to have a full time run. He might have 1, maybe 2-3 more matches. Regardless, the CGC legend, the Thinking's Man DeColt, is out here to defend the honor of his father's legacy and the DeColt Power House. Marc Dubois (31): In a move that sent ruptures throughout the wrestling industry, the former "can't miss prospect" became the Comeback Kid, making his debut for a Canadian wrestling company for CGC in April. Indubitably the franchise player of the company, a triple threat in the ring, star quality up the wazoo, this man IS CGC for the foreseeable future. Gargantuan (33): Actual age undefined, the Genetically Modified Killing Machine is the embodiment of the perfect combatant. Cunning, resilient, powerful to the max. Gargantuan has mostly been bested by teamwork or a prime DeColt with the power of brotherhood by his side. A third World Title reign seems like only a matter of time for the Test Tube Tormentor. STARS: Flash (32): Small of stature but large of talent and ego, Flash is the embodiment of his name with an incredible package of aerial offense, and the ability to reverse any move as long as he has space to move. Beginning a perhaps career defining run as CGC World Tag Team Champion with Ozzie Golden as part of The Canadian Blondes at Chaos In The Cage, Flash surely has aspirations for singles success in the future. Alexander Robinson (45): A 5-time PGHW Glory Tag Crown Champion and winner of the NOTBPW Tag Team Titles with Lee Bennett, a man who won a singles title for INSPIRES this very year, Robinson is a certified Canadian professional wrestling legend. With no intent to slow down, and students in Sterling Whitlock and Lewis Frey to carry on his legacy, this man will impart a part of his legacy and wisdom to the younger generation of CGC combatants. Skip Beau (27): A 2010 graduate of the DeColt Power House, Skip Beau quickly became a beloved fixture of the shows with his "geek" persona, a lovable oaf. It was when he stood up to the bullying from the various heels of the roster and became the Raging Bull that his career truly took off however. Unbeaten in singles action in 2018, becoming Canadian Champion and changing the course of the belt to making it the Canadian Chaos Championship, this is a milestone year in Skip's young career, and he hasn't even reached his peak yet. Jamie Atherton (29): "White Lightning" Jamie Atherton was a legend in ACPW, before taking his talents to the big leagues and becoming one of the biggest stars in CGC in a very short span of time. A magnetic personality, cocky as hell and with the talent in ring to back any of his outlandish claims up, he scored a career highlight victory over Alex freaking DeColt in an Unsanctioned Match, but with the help of Adrian Garcia. What is in store for this man after he already failed twice to capture gold? Was this the push his needed? Will his year entail further cooperation with the Agent To The Stars? Hugh Ancrie (27): Formerly known as Mr. Impact in NOTBPW, this man is an ideal Combatant. Sporting a ripped physique at 6'4 240 lbs with the stamina and athleticim of an Olympian, with the technical wrestling credentials of the legend Jeremy Stone and the ability to make women swoon over him over his looks and innate charisma, he is a top top wrestler, barely entering his peak years. Being thwarted by Skip Beau can only stop his ascent for so long. Intrepid Ian Identity (25): Your new CGC World Champion is homegrown! A 2013 graduate of the DeColt Power House facility, this man has CGC-style wrestling down to the minutiae, an excellent brawler who can talk with the best of them. He ended Joey Poison's dream run and he's truly only just begun. He's only a Last Man Standing and a tag title run away from becoming a Grand Slam Champion. Not bad from a man without a surname. Joey Poison (41): A beloved veteran with 9 years of experience in CGC and 23 in the wacky world of wrestling, Joey has consistently been a popular Combatant, whether it's been as a good guy or a scoundrel. Having managed to defy the odds in a legendary title win at Chaos In The Cage, Joey has made sure his efforts will secure him a place in history. As he winds down his illustrious career, his "Tough and Glorious" team with Brett Fraser will presumably be his focus. A future CGC Hall of Famer. Blockbuster (29): A man of monstrous size and foul demeanor, Blockbuster is a 2011 graduate of the DeColt Power House facility. He has huge promise but still hasn't achieve as much as his talents or other monstrous competitors that preceeded him, with his love of loud heavy metal seeming to exceed his love of winning wrestling matches. Nevertheless, he scored a career win against Jungle Jack at the DeColt Wrestlefestival, and with the latter part of the year still ahead of him he might be gunning for the title of young wrestler of the year in his last year of eligibility. WELL KNOWN: Whippy The Clown (43): One of the longest tenured CGC Combatants at 14 years of service to the company, The Crown Prince of Grappling begun the year as CGC World Champion and had an excellent run with the belt for 7 months. The pressure of being on top got to him as he brutally blindsided Joey Poison in an effort to hang on to his world title, and after losing the belt he definitely seems to have slipped down from peak performance. It's always tough for a competitor to handle devastating loss, and we expect Whippy to come to his senses and his best at some point. A future CGC Hall of Famer. Ozzie Golden (32): The second half of The Canadian Blondes, Ozzie Golden might be the "weaker link" in this current run that has ended with Flash more often than not securing the win, but he's the more complete performer of the two with his ability to both fly and do incredible matwork. An accomplished jazz pianist, straight edge and a lover of nature and women, Ozzie Golden is truly a Rennaissance Man as much as it is possible in the world of wrestling. Dan DaLay (42): What is there to say about Dan DaLay that hasn't already been said? Grand Slam Champion, Elite, 3 time World Champion, the man who holds the Guiness World Record for most dweebs shoved in a single locker. With his son now in the company perhaps his time changing after the world championship is over, but who knows, maybe the career rennaissance of Joey and Whippy gives him some ideas. A servant of CGC for 21 years, he is not just a surefire Hall of Famer, he is a LEGEND. The Montreal Mafia (Dermott Ayres, 30 and Marc Raisin, 29): The Quebecois french-italo-Canadians are truly tag team specialists, with Raisin giving the Flash and Ayres the solid matwork. Their teamwork is elite, and they will certainly capture the CGC World Tag Team Championships many more times in the future. Sterling Whitlock (27): Alexander Robinson's prodigy, Sterling Whitlock has the puroresu style of wrestling down to a T, he's genuinely tough and is an extremely driven competitor with ambitions to reach the top of CGC. The young American is part of what could be called a youth movement in the company and his performances have been extremely highly rated and successful as he only barely didn't win the Tag Team titles in his first challenge at Ultimate Showdown. Ant-Man (28): A real-life superhero, a man whose power is freakish, his willpower unstoppable and his ability to kiss babies and smile for the camera unparalleled. He has wrestled in Canada, Japan, Britain, Mexico and his home country of the United States, but CGC managed to secure him and his tag team partner Topher Smith to an illustrious deal in January and they've been an impressive and entertaining fixture since. Also unofficially part of the Superfriends with Clause Reed. RECOGNISABLE: Zeus Maximillion (40): A genuine(?) Greek Demigod, Zeus Maximillion is part of the greatest tag team in CGC history alongside Stevie Grayson, a (tied) record 5 time CGC World Tag Team Championship holder, and an incredibly fearsome wrestler in his own right. Zeus has carved a legacy over 12 years with the Red and Gold, and he still has plenty more in the tank- he surely sees what his colleagues have achieved lately... Brett Fraser (45): Brett has lived an odd life in regards to his path to professional wrestling, as he entered the sport at the age of 31 and only joined CGC at 35. A Moose Hunter by trade, he is one of the toughest wrestlers in CGC history, famously the first man to not be knocked out by Dan DaLay's backfist and a tag team specialist with Vin Tanner and Joey Poison and his partners. Age has begun to slow him down, but he's still a formidable opponent as Hugh Ancrie and Blockbuster came to find out in recent months. Philippe LeGrenier (30): Graduating from the DeColt Powerhouse in 2007 at merely the age of 19, Philippe had huge expectations placed on him. His star quality, his solid fundamentals, his confidence. Nothing really materialized however and the French-Canadian Perfection left to find himself on the southern side of the border. His return so far has been interesting as he seems to have only gotten more vain and distracted from the big prize at hand, but with Drake Young as his hype man he still has been able to show a vicious streak. Curtis Mobstar (31): California's prodigal son, Curtis is one of the very few people of that scene to try their hand at the other side of the border. A very talented brawler who dabbles in hardcore action, he is fresh and different in the landscape of CGC and has shown that he can be a very dangerous opponent. He definitely has a bright future in the company. Clause Reed (22): One third of the Superfriends, Clause Reed is just an honest lumberjack who went south to be taught in the ways of Pro Wrestling by the Monstrous and Legendary Gaijin, Dread. A man concerned with being honorable, honest and teaching women from the big city the meaning of Christmas, the young Reed has been a very popular fixture in CGC already and his future will for sure include holding championships. Topher Smith (27): "The Gopher" is an excellent, solid cruiserweight with a killer physique and great potential when he eventually adjusts to the land of Giants that is CGC. A pal of Ant-Man for over a decade, Topher ignores the people who think of him as a "sidekick", proving very often that his contributions to the team are just as important. A good looking kid, his potential as a star is there. Killer Karson (27): The definition of a modern big man, the rookie out of the DeColt Power House is as athletic as he is vicious. His attempts to establish the beat up battalion have perhaps been hasty, but nevertheless people have already felt the impact of his Killer Boot. UNIMPORTANT: Nathan Black (43): The black dog has been a tag team specialist for his 11 years in CGC, being a three time world tag team champion. Nowadays running his career down, he still has tricks to teach to the youth movement and can beat anyone on his day. Quibble The Clown (31): The sidekick of Whippy The Clown has improved a lot as an overall wretler in his years away from CGC, however he only has three appearances left on his contract. Team CD (Chucky Dorrance, 26 and "Dapper" Danny Draper, 20): Two more homegrown prospects of the company, the Chuckmeister and Danny Draper came together to bully Skip Beau, but their rise was stopped for the moment due to the influx of established talent as the company is having a resurgence. Still good prospects (especially the latter), 2019 is expected to be their year. Thunder and Lightning: The SEVEN time 4C Tag Team Championss are a fearsome duo with a very modern fighting style, but so far they haven't adapted to life in CGC. It took the Montreal Mafia a while to reach the heights they did this year, so they will probably have their time in the sun. Noted for their cool masks. Charlie Homicide(21): Trained by the legendary Larry Wood, Charlie Homicide is a vicious competitor with a streak for the psycopathic. Still growing into his frame, he is a great prospect for the future with good charisma and the ability to creep anyone out. Stevie Grayson (37): The former TCW Cruiserweight Champion, Stevie made his name in CGC as a tag team specialist alongside his good friend Zeus Maximillion. He probably still has a lot in the tank, but has always struggled in the land of Giants as something more than a bright ball of energy in tag team matches. Regardless, his legacy is secure. Robin DaLay (21): A 2017 graduate of the DeColt Power House, Robin joined RIPW as an attempt to make it in the States. He showed great progress there, but ultimately decided to return after seeing the excitement in the company. With Faith by his side and determined to dominate the competiton fair and square, the Prodigal Son is probably going to be a superstar. Tongan Death Machine (31): An accomplished Rugby competitor, TDM is the wildcard of the Beat Up Battalion, a stable full of wildcards. He's very new to wrestling but his size and mouth watering athleticism suggest he will be successful. Lewis Frey (25): The newest member of Team Stiff 'Em, Lewis is a lifelong Canadian wrestling fan with excellent technical style, perhaps inspired by the rival organization NOTBPW. Nevertheless, he has relished the opportunity to come over and learn from the legend Alexander Robinson, and is impressing and improving every passing day. Drake Young (27): Possessing the gift of the gab at a level no one else does, Drake Young is a superstar in the making... if victory didn't mean anything in wrestling. Annoying, hateable but brilliant, this man can do everything needed to create buzz and succeed, other than get the victory in the middle of the ring. His alliance with Philippe leGrenier has had mixed results. Generation Z (Alyx Winters, 20 and Flip Simkins, 19): Two great looking kids with sky high potential, Generation Z have recruited Lizzie Spellmann to cheerlead for them, and are definitely the most tabloid-friendly alliance in CGC. Both great high flyers with bags of charisma, when they get the necessary experience they will become superstars for the whole of Canadian Wrestling...either together or separately. Alistair Shufflebottom 7 hours ago, knkmaster69 said: What an amazing show. Every match delivered, and this roster is really coming into its own. The miracle run of Poison is over, with Identity finally coming into his own and making his way to the top of the card! And that DeColt v Atherton match? Superb. You've really built the foundations of a CGC comeback and i love it! Wow, just thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AboardTheArk Posted December 14, 2022 Author Share Posted December 14, 2022 VIBERT'S VOICE - Ep. 163, Tuesday Week 4 of 2018 CGC had their "season premier" show last Sunday, after the arbitrary cut off that is Ultimate Showdown, a show that I thought was overall very successful but not the highest in-ring quality they've given us so far this year. SEGMENT 1: The show begins with the new CGC World Champion, Intrepid Ian Identity welcoming everyone to Surrey, British Columbia, to DeColt Country. The crowd is sitll confused and booing him for using a longtime DeColt brothers catchphrase. After boasting a bit about his career defining win at the biggest show of the summer, he decides to address the elephant in the room. Ian explains that one day in 1992, George DeColt met a woman despite being in a loving marriage and he had a kid with her. A young boy who grew up without a father figure, but was blessed with the traits to become the best wrestler in all of Canada. A boy who entered the DeColt powerhouse, saw the company dying, and despite the fact he was too late breaking in and George DeColt had retired from the business, got the chance to briefly meet his half-brothers and see... they all turned out worse than him. That plus George's retirement made him hide his real identity, get an inside joke ring name, and quietly reach the top, manifest his destiny. There's always a DeColt. And Ian DeColt is one of them. And his age has just begun. Segment Rating: 60 MATCH 1: Tough and Glorious vs Team CD. It was nice to see the kids back on TV, but this was a match that served a very specific purpose, reframe Joey Poison's role in the company. He knows he's too beat up to keep chasing after the world title, and his teamwork with Fraser is at a very good level. They dominated the young guys, and Brett Fraser got the victory with a Double Arm DDT. Segment Rating: 53 SEGMENT 2: The Canadian Blondes disrupted the team's celebrations, saying that as they've dispatched of the former major opposition they feel like they have the right to choose their next opponents...and they feel like they have unfinished business with Tough and Glorious, therefore they challenge them at Battle Beyond. The babyfaces are pumped to accept. Segment Rating: 51 MATCH 2: Curtis Mobstar vs Robin DaLay. A really interesting match up as Robin dominated with strength but Mobstar was relentless in fighting back, and had a couple veteran tricks for the youngster. Robin kicked out of an early Implant DDT from Mobstar, and proceeded to beat the crap out of him with slaps that almost knocked teeth out numerous times. He went for a DaLay Down to get the big win, but Mobstar managed to get momentum off the ropes and counter into a Tombstone Piledriver, before hitting a second Implant DDT for the three count. He carried Robin to by far the best match of his early career, and continues to impress. Segment Rating: 55 SEGMENT 3: A furious Dan DaLay scolds his son backstage after the match, telling him that with two consecutive losses, he needs to listen to his father and get back to basics. Robin isn't thrilled but he's too winded to protest. Segment Rating: 42 MATCH 3: The Montreal Mafia vs Drake Young and Philippe LeGrenier. After a few weeks off, this was a statement match for the Montreal Mafia who completely squashed the heels. Not much else to say. Segment Rating: 55 SEGMENT 4: Alex DeColt is out to address the fans and his defeat at Ultimate Showdown. He let everyone down, and he did it by being dumb. He ignored all the signs of Adrian Garcia's involvement, because he thought Adrian's envy and hatred wasn't enough to get him to act this foolishly by crossing Alex. He thought that him and Atherton were playing mind games on him, and that they were counting on him getting paranoid. But no, Adrian just couldn't help himself. All his years of screwing with the DeColt family, he saw one more chance to make himself a thorn at Alex's side. So Alex fires him. Adrian is escorted from the announce table, protesting loudly with the crowd cheering at him getting the ultimate comeuppance. Alex proceeds to explain booking Gargantuan vs Jamie Atherton as punishment for Jamie's cheating, but nevertheless Alex has no choice but to honor his part of the deal. As Jamie comes out for his match, he informs Alex DeColt that they are main eventing Battle Beyond, One on One. Segment Rating: 76 MATCH 4: Gargantuan vs Jamie Atherton. An unfair fight, Jamie tried his best to get Gargantuan off his feet and overwhelm him with quickness, but any time Gargantuan could get his hands on Jamie he seemingly inflicted a new devastating injury. Atherton's plan B was to spam Lightning Bolts (Running Missile Dropkicks), but he seemed to just bounce off his opponent. It wasn't until he started targetting the knee with his attacks he saw some effect. One miscalculation however, and Gargantuan caught him with an Ultimate Backbreaker for the win, but crushing Atherton on his knee meant it took a little longer to pin him than usual. Segment Rating: 58 SEGMENT 5: Marc Dubois appears on video to congratulate Gargantuan on his win over him at Ultimate Showdown, but says given his cowardly attacks, he feels like he's entitled to a rematch at Battle Beyond. To soften the deal, he spoke to CGC Management and added a stipulation: If Gargantuan beats him again, he gets a guaranteed title shot at Ian. If Dubois wins however, he does not get that title shot. Gargantuan has everything to win, and not much to lose given Last Man Standing is what follows and he's already won that match once. Gargantuan says he will accept, only if there's an offer to his face, therefore he expects to see DuBois next week. Segment Rating: 64 MATCH 5: Blockbuster, Hugh Ancrie and Ian DeColt vs Team Stiff 'Em and Skip Beau. A fun match other than when Blockbuster was in, this was very much the whirlwind of action we needed in a show where everything else was chaotic and talking focused. Nevertheless, it didn't quite hit the highs that you would expect, with Ancrie being a little bit off his a-game. Sterling Whitlock got the hot tag after Blockbuster and Skip had a violent exchange that took both men out, and he proceeded to lariat Ian harder and harder and harder, to the point that he almost tapped out, only to try a cheap shot but take a boot to the face for his troubles, before Whitlock hit the Whitlock's End (Vertical Spike) to pin the World Champion!

neslo024 Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Got all caught up and absolutely loved the last big event. Ian DeColt is a great angle to work and Knight is one of my favorite workers in the whole game. It will be interesting to see who you build up to take out the Blondes but they are great to carry the division while you build it up.

AboardTheArk Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 VIBERT'S VOICE - Ep. 164, Tuesday Week 1 of August 2018 SWF's still shellshocked after the shocking failure of The Supreme Challenge 38 has led to a drop in prestige and a load of panic signings to compensate. Seems like booker Jack Bruce isn't able to capture the magic of wrestler Jack Bruce. But on the other side of the border, there's proof that Sports Entertainment isn't dead, as the little red and gold promotion that could keeps going... so let's get to CGC this week! SEGMENT 1: Ian DeColt opens the show to get through the catchphrases (welcome to [place], DeColt Country etc.), and also reassure the fans that last week's main event was just a minor setback and he will be CGC World Champion for a long time... and that's a DeColt guarantee! Sterling Whitlock interrupts him, running out, getting a microphone and telling him that since he's pinned the champion, he's entitled to a world championship match. Ian isn't ecstatic about the possibility, but he accepts after spending about two minutes belittling his opponent. As soon as he accepts, he takes a Lariat! for his troubles by a pumped Whitlock. This did enough to set up Sterling as a dangerous challenger, he probably can't hang on the mic with Ian at this point of his career (or maybe any point). Ian is an absolute pro by the way for taking one of the most sickening lariats this side of the pacific ocean. The thud it made was awesome. Segment Rating: 55 MATCH 1: Alistair Shufflebottom vs Robin DaLay. This match lasted longer than it needed to due to Dan's instructions to his son of slowing things down and essentially doing the waterdrop torture on his opponent despite the clear differential in skill, size and power that would lead to a stomp. As a result, Robin spends a lot of time arguing with his pops which leads to a close roll up call from Alistair that gets the crowd into the match! Only for Robin to beat him into a pulp for the next couple of minutes and end things with a DaLay Down. Segment Rating: 27 SEGMENT 2: More family arguing happens, this time with Faith also joining to defend Robin's approach to things. Dan latches onto an accusation that facing Shufflebottom doesn't offer any resistance and opportunity for conclusions and promises a better opponent next week to test the tried and true DaLay method. Segment Rating: 40 SEGMENT 3: We head backstage where in some gym Skip Beau is helping some rookies train, the Canadian Chaos title resting on his shoulder. He is approached by Curtis Mobstar, who says he's been on a roll lately, and considering their dope tables match a couple months ago and with Skip's ability to pick any stipulation, he'd like to have a Hard to the Core title match at Battle Beyond. Skip appreciates being approached peacefully for once, a comment that makes Curtis poorly hide his brass knuckles, and announces a Fans Bring The Weapons match for the Canadian Chaos championship at Batlte Beyond. This segment in my mind cemented Mobstar as a tweener, something that has been foreshadowed in most of his recent appearances. Wouldn't surprise me if he turned face by the start of 2019. Also, this match will be really good. Segment Rating: 48 MATCH 2: The Montreal Mafia vs Tough and Glorious. This was a really fun match, and all about Tough and Glorious showing why they were such a long reigning championship tandem. Going back to tagging has reinvigorated Brett Fraser, Poison continues his career year, and the teamwork on display alongside the Mafia being super willing to make their opponents look like a million bucks, I enjoyed this a ton. Brett Fraser Double Arm DDT'd both guys, Joey hit a senton bomb on Ayres, and Brett got the pin and a huge momentum boost of a win. Segment Rating: 60 SEGMENT 4: So, one thing to mention here. With Adrian Garcia no longer on commentary, youngster Curt Meritt from the USA is the new color guy for CGC. They gave him a silly heel gimmick where he clearly wants to be the next Garcia but everyone is oblivious. Prefacing with this because, he's really good for how new he is but he's a huge downgrade on his predecessor and therefore there will be segments that are hurt, and this is one of them. Jamie Atherton comes out for his match against Blockbuster (a continuation of his punishment), and he is joined by a pretty redhead and...Adrian Garcia? Alex DeColt instantly comes out demanding Garcia's ejection, but Atherton has come prepared! He explains that in his contract exists an "entourage clause" of people that wouldn't be employed by the company, but directly by Atherton. In the contract it was stated as "a group of more than one people" therefore, he has an entourage of two: his girlfriend Heather, and the agent to the stars Adrian Garcia. Alex vows to check this with any lawyer, but for now it's allowed to stand. Segment Rating: 65 MATCH 3: Blockbuster vs Jamie Atherton. Blockbuster almost wrestled face here, because Jamie kept getting assistance from his entourage to turn the tide. This was useful as an attempt to set the place for Jamie in the pecking order following his loss to Gargantuan last week: he was often in trouble, but always managed to find a way out. Blockbuster hit a huge Bucklebomb and Heather pulled Jamie out of the ring before he could chain it towards his finisher, something that majorly annoyed Blockbuster. Jamie hit two Thunderbolts to get back in the match, but wouldn't have won without Adrian Garcia distracting the referee, allowing Atherton to hit a Low Blow and a Frankensteiner Driver for the win. Segment Rating: 50 SEGMENT 5: After losing their TV time, the Beat Up Battalion is more desperate for a leader than ever before, and Gargantuan's return gives them the opportunity to make a pitch. Killer Karson puts over the legitimacy of the group, Charlie Homicide says he'll be able to get whatever he wants without comeuppance, and Tongan Death Machine stands idly. Gargantuan sees the opportunity for an army, and humbly accepts the position of leader. Segment Rating: 48 MATCH 4: The 4v4. An absolutely chaotic little match, it lasted a while as we got every possible combination of the 8 men battling and a fairly slow build with some very old school, almost plodding brawling segments. When it picked up however this match was a treat, and while it's strange to say, it felt like Dubois' coming out party with the way he just got something entertaining out of all 4 monster heels. Killer Karson pinned Clause Reed with a Killer Boot, but that was only the beginning. Segment Rating: 55 SEGMENT 6: A big brawl erupted all throughout the ringside area, with the heels prevailing for most of the runtime. That was, until Gargantuan cornered Topher Smith and was about to launch him with all his might towards the guardrail. Marc Dubois managed to Dragon Suplex Gargantuan on his head, then hit the Mark of Excellence on him which made the whole Battalion retreat seeing their new leader fall. This is a major development as it's the first time Dubois has gotten one over Gargantuan, and it was put over as such by the announce team. Segment Rating: 61 MATCH 5: Ian DeColt vs Zeus Maximillion. These two worked the CGC Main Event style, mostly brawling back and forth with any attempt of Zeus to get a combo going being cut off by Ian in increasingly frustrating ways, until it became a bombfest in the latter half of the match. And these two work this style perfectly to deliver a TV main event that wouldn't look out of place in 2009 CGC. Ian hit the DeColt Driver on Zeus for an agonizing two count, and that sparked the Olympian's comeback, with a series of spears and backdrop drivers that really would have gotten Ian in the mindset of how it will be when he faces Whitlock in only a bit over two weeks. Zeus locked in the Olympian Clutch, but Ian has the trademark DeColt resilience and so poked the eyes to get out, before hitting the Identity theft for the win.

AboardTheArk Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 VIBERT'S VOICE - Ep. 165, Tuesday Week 2 of August 2018 Controversial take: Wrestling is wrestling. And that's enough. It's not a sport. It's not ballet or a performance art or whatever. It's wrestling, and all that entails. MATCH 1: The show starts with Robin DaLay vs Stevie Grayson. For the first time in a while, Stevie got to shine in a singles match in a CGC ring. Not that this was a great match, Robin isn't ready for that yet, but their chemistry made it fun to sit through at points, with Stevie really bringing the heat and overwhelming the youngster with his veteran tricks. Dan gets extremely frustrated with Robin not listening to his advice, that he tries to get in the ring, which distracts the referee. Stevie Grayson takes advantage to roll Robin up, but the ref doesn't see it! After kicking out a bit after a crowd's three count, Robin has rage in his eyes and obliterates Grayson with boots and knuckle arrows, deadlifting his prone body and powerbombing him for the win. Segment Rating: 31 SEGMENT 1: The familiar and familial drama of the DaLay's continues after the match, and Robin makes a fatal mistake, shoving his dad to leave. This prompts Dan hitting a vicious Cobra Clutch Suplex on his son, and shouting at him that he's getting a second, more vicious lesson at Battle Beyond. Segment Rating: 41 MATCH 2: Charlie Homicide & Tongan Death Machine vs Team CD. A structurally solid but very unimpressive tag team match that was hampered by Team CD having taken a major depush for the first half of the year due to the new signings for the company, this served two purposes: TDM destroyed the kids in order to get Gargantuan's new henchmen some extra momentum. And after the match, the two guys who have been presented as unlikely best pals, had their first moment of friction, which probably means they might actually be used in some way in the next couple of months. Segment Rating: 38 SEGMENT 2: Before his match with Quibby The Clown, Hugh Ancrie is approached by Whippy, who attempts to unnerve him, reminding him of his failures against Skip Beau and the fact that he's further away from the top than he was when he first joined the company. Hugh berates him for being a joke who's becoming more irrelevant by the day and goes out to wrestle. Segment Rating: 60 MATCH 3: Hugh Ancrie vs Quibble The Clown, another independent wrestling type sprint that was very watchable despite having a super obvious conclusion. Quibble hit hard and tried to keep seperation long enough to string some lucha-libre type offense together, while Hugh focused on throws that let him target the neck and back of Quibble. It was quick and effective, and as Quibble went for the Clown Cutter, it was swiftly reversed by Hugh into the Crying Game for the win. Segment Rating: 59 SEGMENT 3: Post match, the lights go out and some weird Joker stuff plays on the titantron, before a challenge is written out in comic sans: "Battle Beyond, 1 on 1". Segment Rating: 51 SEGMENT 4: Tough and Glorious are backstage, and cut a very old school promo on the Canadian Blondes. Joey Poison puts over his career year to begin with, but then he focuses on the credentials of their tag team. Despite accusations of not being "a real team", they're one of the most successful single reign champions in the history of the division, and they're currently on a roll with three straight wins. Brett says that he hunts animals than weigh more than the Canadian Blondes combined, and that when he corners them, their survival instinct won't be enough. They vow to successfully capture the tag team titles, and Joey puts over Brett's toughness while Brett puts over Joey's grace. Segment Rating: 49 MATCH 4: Curtis Mobstar and Thunder & Lightning vs Skip Beau and Generation Z. A fun little six man tag, highlighting the fact that this roster is actually sort of deep now? Weird. Generation Z aren't ready to win matches, but they're ready to be in them. Mobstar keeps bringing a fire that I honestly didn't know was there in his GSW work, and his comparison to Skip when they're both going full steam is really interesting and fun. This one had a surprise ending, as Jason Thunder manages to pin Alyx Winter with a Thunder Driver, giving Thunder & Lightning their second CGC win, perhaps the start of better days. Segment Rating: 54 SEGMENT 5: Curtis and Skip have a staredown of recognition, with Skip blinking and exiting the ring first with his title. Segment Rating: 53 MATCH 5: Jamie Atherton vs Sterling Whitlock went 22 minutes. It was 22 awesome minutes. Should they have given this away on TV? Honestly, who cares! Jamie had his best CGC performance yet, bouncing around with some of the most GIFable offense you've ever seen, while Sterling struggled to keep up at first, especially with the entourage turning the tide a lot with timely interference. But everything changed when Sterling started keeping it simple and just- LARIAT! over and over and over, leaving a dent in Jamie's collarbone. At that point it seemed like whatever tricks they had left wouldn't be able to stop a career defining win for Whitlock that would give him a lot of momentum for his world title match, but Ian DeColt who was on commentary wasn't so sure. He started trying to jaw with Whitlock to no effect, and was escorted away by security when he removed his headset and tried approaching the ring. The commotion changed the flow, with Jamie getting a second wind and hitting an excellent Lightning Bolt (a move that by my observations is more becoming a signature than a finisher lately) for a close nearfall. Heather tried to slip him brass knuckles but the referee removed them, and Whitlock hit a beautiful backdrop for a 2.9! Trying to repeat it but with a different angle and closer to the ropes resulted in Adrian Garcia pulling Jamie out of the ring, and Sterling trying to follow it up with a Suicide led to crashing and burning as the entourage got Atherton out of the way. By that point, it was smooth sailing for Jamie trying to finish the match, despite a close call on a Burning Lariat. Atherton picked up a huge win with a Poison Rana, and Whitlock now by my count has the two best TV matches for CGC this year. Segment Rating: 65 SEGMENT 6: Alex DeColt comes out to congratulate Sterling on his effort, and say that while Jamie was correct last week and he can't fire Garcia again, there's another crucial difference between manager and entourage: It's way easier to get them out of a match contract. Therefore, Alex DeColt announces that these two weeks of interference are grounds for him to BAN Andrian Garcia and Heather from ringside for the Battle Beyond main event. Alex DeColt vs Jamie Atherton will be a clean, wrestling match. Totally, might I add. There is no way this backfires.

AboardTheArk Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 CGC: BATTLE BEYOND 2018 Report Attendance: 2908 at the Wood Buffalo Arts Center PPV buys: 20,976 MATCH 1: DAN DALAY VS ROBIN DALAY (W/FAITH) vs (w/) The most obvious rematch from Ultimate Showdown, this was quite a different affair than the first match. Robin came in with the same fire, but also a frustration and recklessness that helped his father hang in easier. We got a patented DaLay control segment where he absolutely did not hold back in making his son suffer, alternating between kidney shots and bear hugs, attacking the eyes, tripping him while grabbing his hair, and just giving him the best possible demonstration for every lesson he's refused to take in the last two months. However, Robin does the best job possible in terms of not losing his composure, using the support by his side at its full potential. A northern lights suplex begins the comeback, and we get an old school father and son brawl, trading bombs and getting closer with each move. Dan, knowing this is getting away from him when the pace goes up, gets his son in a headlock, and Faith gets up on the apron, pretending he did something illegal because it's Dan DaLay and the referee would buy it. Robin pushes his father away, getting out and he stops a step before hitting Faith (but hitting the referee who has gone over to reprimand her). There's a moment of awkwardness, before Faith jumps up and tongue kisses mr. DaLay in order to disorient him! She jumps off the apron, and Dan turns to a DaLay Down (belly to belly piledriver) from his son! Robin sees that the referee isn't up yet, so he also hits a Deadlift Powerbomb on his father for good measure! 1, 2, 3! Robin wins! Segment Rating: 37 SEGMENT 1: The winners are celebrating their big win, trying to convey to the crowd that they outsmarted the veteran and there was always a plan. Faith plants a peck on Robin's cheek and he's completely flustered. Segment Rating: 35 MATCH 2: HUGH ANCRIE VS WHIPPY THE CLOWN vs A technical masterclass that didn't quite endear itself to the crowd due to being heel vs heel, this was nevertheless a good match. Hugh wrestled with hubris, Whippy with desperation. Hugh never learnt from the cheating of his opponent, choosing to take everything on and just betting on his superior arsenal. Bone-crunching suplexes going up against veteran tricks in a battle for honor, for 15 minutes. In the end, Whippy hit the Joke's On You but decided to bring back an old favorite to show he's still the man he was in his prime. Going up on the top ropes, he hit a picture perfect split-legged moonsault, only for Ancrie to bring the knees up. This was the start of the end, as Ancrie hit a German Suplex, kept the hold, transitioned into a Reverse Brainbuster, kept the hold, and hit the Crying Game reverse DDT into Dragon Sleeper for the win. Segment Rating: 56 MATCH 3: CGC WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS MATCH: TOUGH AND GLORIOUS VS THE CANADIAN BLONDES (C) A match 8 months in the making! Tough and Glorious came in with something to prove, emphasizing their high level teamwork as a statement of intent. Brett has picked up a lot of their wins in the build up to this matchand their return as a team, but age is visible on him and his performance. He can't run or bump like he used to, so he mostly just headbutts anything on sight and chops the bad guys to death. Flash and Ozzie spend most of the early part of the match working in peril, probably as a palette cleanser for the crowd from the two heels match before. In the mid-point however, Ozzie uses his quickness to get away from Fraser and the counterattack begins. The Blondes work with surgical precision on both babyfaces legs (considering Fraser's age and Joey's lingering injuries), stretching the limits of the referee's tolerance. They hit a weird and very risky spot where Joey Poison is locked in a figure 4 lock to the steel post with Ozzie Golden who has it locked in leaning to the right, while Flash jumps off the ropes to hit a double foot stomp on the locked legs of Poison. This is the kind of move that changes the tides of a contest on its own, and as both Blondes are high fiving, Brett Fraser charges and pounces them both towards the barricade. This gives time for a bit of a reset, but both teams are selling much more as we've entered the finishing stretch. Fraser and Flash are tagged in, and they partake in sequences that are all very close to being the end. Poison refuses to tag in at some point, citing the leg, but after a couple more moves of Fraser being dominated, he reluctantly goes in, only to instantly be hit with an eye poke and a single leg crab. He taps out before his partner can intervene, writhing in pain. Segment Rating: 55 SEGMENT 2: Curtis Mobstar and Skip Beau share a moment of respect before their match begins, nodding to each other and making jokes. The referee pats Mobstar for weapons (he's not a fan! He can't bring them!), and takes way too long removing a comical amount of them. Segment Rating: 54 MATCH 4: CGC CANADIAN CHAOS CHAMPIONSHIP 'FANS BRING THE WEAPONS' MATCH: CURTIS MOBSTAR VS SKIP BEAU A 10-minute war between two combatants who never back down, but with the use of silly, whimsical weapons to prevent too much blood being spilled. The weapons brought by fans: a pinata (with a baseball bat to break it), a very expensive tea set, two cans of Beaver Buzz energy drink, a big plastic box with a lego set and a pair of chairs, but the colorful wooden ones you'd find in a kindergarten. So, here's how this went. Everything was broken on one of the two guys' heads, Beaver Buzz was consumed to replenish energy, there was a bazeball bat X chair seat swordfight, and a lot of moves were attempted on the legos but were narrowly avoided. Good, fun stuff. Blood did get spilled, as Skip got a cut on his forehead above his right eye, and that seemed like what Curtis was planning to center on his Implant DDT, but Skip's tenacity came in handy still holding steady and avoiding certain defeat. Mobstar tried jumping to force the move, but it played into Skip's hands as he got launched with a Belly to Belly suplex! Curtis started running to not leave any time and seperation but Skip caught him on his shoulders and hit the Flow Down on the legos! There's no kicking out from that. Segment Rating: 60 SEGMENT 3: An unknown theme song begins playing, signaling a new arrival to the Combat Zone! Dirty Dusty Ducont, the Canadian heavyweight star of USPW, is back on the right side of the border, and he seems to have signed for CGC! He gets a microphone, and he skips the pleasantries about being back in Canada. He only has one important announcement: He is the first entrant of the prestigeous Last Man Standing Rumble! He was promised a very advantageous entrance number by management as a signing bonus, and he plans on using that win to become the person who took the least time from his debut to capture the CGC World Championship. And no one in that locker room can stop him. Segment Rating: 54 MATCH 5: GARGANTUAN VS MARC DUBOIS VS This match was, uh, a bit of a letdown. Gargantuan was on top for about 17 minutes, and his work in control was absolutely uninteresting. Dreadful. The Beat Up Battalion was on the outside, cheering like hooligans, adding an unnecessary comedic side to one of the two biggest matches on the show. Marc Dubois had his unstoppable comeback (Comeback Lariat, Slingblade, High Angle Dropkick) which was predictable, the referee ejected the Battalion as they kept cheating to delay the inevitable, and the Mark Of Excellence gave Dubois the win, evening their series. Segment Rating: 49 MATCH 6: CGC WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: STERLING WHITLOCK VS IAN DECOLT This match managed to provide the appropriate amount of excitement the prior one failed to provide. Whitlock keeps coming into his own and delivering some of the best performances in the company, and Ian is doing pretty well trying to live up to the DeColt name. A match that begun with Whitlock dominating the early wrestling exchanges, soon became hitting the other man as hard as possible, as was expected. The crowd was into it, however, at this point being accustomed to this more 'cutting-edge', indie-friendly version of the company's style. Ian's selling steals the show, making Whitlock look incredibly dangerous on every move, even before he begins the crowdpleaser lariat spam. Ian manages to reverse the last lariat into a Fujiwara Armbar, taking control for the next segment of the match, and unlike Gargantuan he knows what to do in control, taunting the crowd at every moment and using his environment to choke Whitlock in any way possible for his 5 allocated seconds. He stops Sterling's first comeback with a Wild Ride but it's not enough for the three count. Ian puts Sterling in the bow and arrow hold, taking the wind out of him, before assaulting him with well placed knee strikes. He attempts the DeColt Driver (StraightJacket Drop), but he doesn't have the strength required to do it effortlessly and Whitlock comes alive with a huge Backdrop. LARIAT! LARIAT! LAAAARIAT! The trifecta is agonizingly close to giving Whitlock the win, and he doesn't stop. Sliding Lariat! Burning Lariat! Brainbuster Lariat! He lets out a scream of adrenaline and Ian slides out of the ring, taking advantage of the moment being too big for Whitlock. Sterling follows him out, and waits for him to get up for another Lari- Ian pushes him into the Steel Post! Whitlock is out cold, and Ian DeColt fireman carries him to the ring, and TKO's him for the three count. Only 17 minutes, they can even do better than this, but it was the match of the night. Segment Rating: 64 MAIN EVENT: ALEX DECOLT VS JAMIE ATHERTON (THE ENTOURAGE BANNED FROM RINGSIDE) VS 26 minutes of CGC trying to recapture the glory of 2009. Alex DeColt played the greatest hits, Jamie Atherton had the best perfromance of everyone in the company this year, playing an incredible foil to the boss, but the ring rust and age of DeColt made the difference. They tried to go for a Spectacle match, and Alex did not deliver. Not even the big spots made this what it could have been: The Avalance Straightjacket Driver to Jamie Atherton on the announce table is probably the spot of the year even with the table not breaking. The match just didn't flow well. 26 minutes felt like 40. Atherton did great with his comebacks making you believe he can beat Alex clean at times, the Lightning Bolt hasn't pinned anyone in a while and you thought it could beat a DeColt when he hit it from out of nowhere. But then he misses on the Corkscrew Press and Alex takes control again, and he just starts hitting the finisher of every DeColt who has wrestled: George, Jack, Steve, Ricky. And as he gets Jamie up for the DeColt Driver, Jamie shuffles and kicks the referee in the head in quite a cheap way. Alex hits the move, gets a visual pin on Jamie for a 7 count from the crowd... and he's attacked! Two masked men enter the ring and viciously assault Alex DeColt, kicking him hard and beating him to a pulp, then getting him up for a double seated superkick. They get Jamie Atherton up, who slowly recovers and hits a 450 degree splash on DeColt, and the referee counts to three. Jamie Atherton has two wins on Alex DeColt! Segment Rating: 52 SEGMENT 4: The masked men enter the ring with Jamie Atherton and raise his hands in celebration. They look at Alex DeColt's prone body and start hitting one high flying move each in sequence (shooting star press, moonsault stomp, 450 splash), before Atherton removes the masks: It's The Canadian Blondes! The three men hug and taunt the crowd as the show goes off air. Segment Rating: 56 Overall Rating: The two biggest matches were disappointments, but I do not think this stunts the company's positive momentum. There's still interesting hooks for the fans coming out of the show and the younger generation is on the forefront of the company for good. Besides, Last Man Standing is the most fun time of the year for a lot of fans, and for one lucky wrestler who will make his wishes come true. 53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
