CGC: Dawn of DeColt Country [CVerse 1997]

[Temes1066]

CGC Bubbleweight Title: Nelson Blais vs Black Sheep
Jon Jetson vs Jack DeColt
Condor & Mario Heroic vs Jake Sloan & Whippy the Clown

[Self]

 

Jerome Turner "Welcome everybody to the final episode of Title Bout Wrestling on BCB and Alberta on Air. Next week we move to our new home, but we still have plenty of exciting action for you tonight, including Jack DeColt versus Jon Jetson, and a big bout for the Bubbleweight Title."

INTERVIEW ZONE

ROGERS ROGERS is all fired up, pushed into the interview zone by JON JETSON. MELISSA MONROE stands nearby, surrounded by party planners and interior decorators, suggesting new curtain colours for the zone. 

ROGER ROGERS
The whole world was against me, but I have cut through the corruption 
and red tape and next week, we get the return of the Runaway Train; 
Barry Bowen. Justice is served. The suspension is over. And for once it
 isn't solely down to my hard work. For once, I have an ally on the 
CGC Matchmaking Committee. 

MELISSA MONROE
Anything for an old friend, darling. Besides, how could CGC possibly 
debut on GNS next week without their World Champion? GNS needs
Barry Bowen... and you, of course. Leave George DeColt and his silly
Committee to me.

ROGER ROGERS
Hear that, DeColts? Your reign of terror is coming to an end! 
And it starts tonight when that disabled-hating, nepotism-loving
punk Jack DeColt gets put in his place by the one true Enforcer; 
Jon Jetson.

TAVARE LORING VS BOB CASEY

Jerome Turner "Veteran fighter Tavare Loring has aligned himself with Rocky Psycho.. but why? We have yet to get an answer."

Casey tries to feel out his opponent but Loring isn't giving much away. Punches. Stomps. Brutal knee strikes that pulverize his opponent's ribs. Casey bobs and weaves but Loring just wants to get it over with. Running Knee Lift! Kneeling Piledriver! 1. 2. 3.

TAVARE LORING WINS (3:28)

As soon as the match is over HOWLING DOG storms down to the ring to confront the victor.

HOWLING DOG
Why? Why did you do it? I was moments away from taking back the
 tomahawk and returning it to our people. Why did you stop me?

Tavare tries to ignore him and walk away, but Dog grabs his arm.

HOWLING DOG
Did Rocky Psycho pay you off? Is he blackmailing you? Why did you 
betray me?

TAVARE LORING
I didn't betray anyone. 

ROCKY PSYCHO suddenly blasts Howling Dog from behind, closely followed by WOLFGANG ZIMMERMAN. Tavare watches as they beat him down viciously...

... but not for long! Here comes the cavalry! ED MONTON is full of patriotic fury! He clotheslines Wolfgang out of the ring and has Rocky cornered... but Tavare pulls the Italian to safety before he can snap and makes things worse. The trio make a tactical retreat as Monton helps Howling Dog to his feet. 

Jerome Turner "We almost got an answer... but I don't think Howling Dog is satisfied. This is far from over."

Jerome Turner "Jon Jetson takes on Jack DeColt in tonight's main event, but at CGC Live Events he's been looking for a tag team partner. Here's what you missed from Victoria."

BARRY KINGMAN tries to put TED MOORE in the Crippler Cloverleaf and- Moose Punch! MOOSE MULDER knocks him out cold and JON JETSON abandons his partner to get pinned. 

   
ERIC TYLER pokes EDDIE CHANDLER in the eyes and makes him tap out to the Tradition Lift (Double Chicken Wing).

SCHOOL OF TRADITION CLASSROOM

JULIE FORLETTA interviews ERIC TYLER as he punishes his students. JOHN McCLEAN is writing lines on the blackboard. RASH REILLY is sitting facing in the corner, wearing a dunce cap. An exhausted FRANKIE FLAME is doing slow, lazy burpees. 

ERIC TYLER
At 'In the Company of Legends' my students failed. They failed 
their school, this sport, and most importantly, they failed me. But 
a great teacher doesn't give up. He adapts. If my students can't 
learn from textbooks and diagrams, perhaps I need to show them
 how it's done. Like a great general marching onto the front lines
 to inspire his troops. Eddie Chandler & Johnny Maverick are stains
 upon this sport, bringing shame to the fine traditions of tag team 
wrestling. I will take those title belts from them, and this time
 I'll do so personally.

CONDOR & MARIO HEROIC VS JAKE SLOAN & WHIPPY THE CLOWN

Jerome Turner "Time for some fast and frenetic Bubbleweight action."

Arm Drags! Dropkicks! Running! Running! RUNNING! A million moves at a hundred miles per hour with tags coming so quickly and close together the referee isn't entirely certain they happened at all. Whippy amazes with tumbling and clown antics, but Mario moves in mysterious ways, and his loop de loop headscissors happens to put the Clown perfectly in the path of Flight of the Condor (Splash)! 1... 2... 3!

CONDOR & MARIO HEROIC WIN (6:33)

CGC INTEROGATION ROOM

     

LAND MASS and MAMMOTH sit at a table in a small room, lit by a single overhead light bulb. WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS glares at them from the corner, as GEORGE DECOLT sits across from them, offering them snacks. Mammoth takes a pie.

MAMMOTH
What's this about? You found Helen yet?

GEORGE DECOLT
It's an ongoing investigation. We just have a few-

LAND MASS
Investigation? Black Sheep's got her belt! Go get him.

GEORGE DECOLT
Black Sheep is a person of interest... but according to several experts
 in this field... JB Fletcher... Columbo... perpetrators tend to have 
prior history with the victims. What exactly is your relationship
 with Helen Wheels?

MAMMOTH
What's that supposed to mean?

Whipper snatches the pie from Mammoth and hurls it at the wall!

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
Two men in their 30's taking orders from a 22 year old girl??? Doesn't 
make sense! What do roller-skates have to do with large regions of
 unbroken land??? Or prehistoric mammals??? Something doesn't add up!

George drags Whipper away and gives Mammoth another pie.

GEORGE DECOLT
Forgive my partner, he's trying to quit smoking. Let's just talk,
 you and me. I know you're the victims here. All I want is to
 make sure Helen returns safe and sound. Now I hate to ask,
 but I wouldn't be doing my job properly if I didn't...
 Did you eat her?

CGC BUBBLEWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
 
NELSON BLAIS VS BLACK SHEEP

Jerome Turner "Nelson Blais has set his sights on the Bubbleweight Title, and it looks like Land Mass & Mammoth have too much on their plate to interfere."

Blais waits for his opponent to fly, but Black Sheep is more of a land mammal, skating circles around his foe on familiar looking pink roller skates. Blais eventually grounds him for a military grade beatdown, until Black Sheep pulls a pink feather boa out of his tights. He whips. He tickles. Referee Francis Long confiscates the boa before Blais' feet can be tied together, and as his back is turned Black Sheep knocks the challenger out with a roller skate for the 1... 2... 3. 

BLACK SHEEP WINS (7:08)

Jerome Turner "Call me crazy, but I think Black Sheep has something to do with Helen Wheels' disappearance."

SCHOOL OF TRADITION CLASSROOM

DAN DALAY
Everyone always said Alex was so smart, but I knew better. So what
 if he knows math? So what if he did his homework? I don't need
 to know the square root of a million. All I need to know is to 
punch someone until they stop moving. Alex isn't smart. If he 
was, he wouldn't be locking himself in a cage with me. 
Next week I smash him.

INTERVIEW ZONE

  

JULIE FORLETTA interviews WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS.

JULIE FORLETTA
Next week Title Bout Wrestling moves to GNS, and that
comes with changes to the CGC Matchmaking Committee.
What do you make of Melissa Monroe's reappearance in CGC?
How will she affect voting going forward?

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
I've known Melissa for over twenty years, and she's always been
 an opportunist. She'll spend six months acting like you don't 
exist, only to sneak into your hotel room and be your best friend
 the second you win the CPW Title in '72... hypothetically. I thought
 we'd seen the last of her years ago, but I guess I shouldn't be 
surprised she's found a way to weasel her way back in. Her
 position at GNS gives her two votes on the Committee, but we
 still have three. So long as myself, George and Frenchie stand 
together, there will be no room for corruption. She's taking credit
 for ending Barry Bowen's suspension, but she couldn't have done 
that unless we agreed to it. Bowen won the CGC World Title fair 
and square, but now he needs to defend it, and he can't do that 
while suspended. As for Melissa, I'm not worried. Eventually she'll
 show her true colours and the good people at GNS will put her back
 where she belongs; far away from CGC.

FRENCHIE'S FIVE

FRENCHIE MARCEL
Ze Roger Rogers says zat Jack DeColt hates ze disabled... so we
 asked ze 'Edmonton Center for Differently Abled Children' which
 CGC wrestlers visited ze kids ze most in ze past six months.

/w Roger Rogers JON JETSON VS JACK DECOLT

Jerome Turner "I often wonder if Roger Rogers believes the words coming out of his mouth, and the scary part is I think he does."

Jack takes his opponent by surprise with amateur takedowns and mat wrestling, but Rogers takes offense to everything he does. Canadian Backbreaker? That's nationalism! Can Do attitude? That's ableism! A knee bar? That's very offensive to do in front of someone without the use of his legs. Apologetic, Jack tries to learn and change and become a better person, but Rogers' arguments are not being made in good faith and he's in the middle of a literal fight. Jetson enforces his will on the youngster, cheating furiously. Of course Rogers has no problem with any of that.

Confused by the entire situation, Jack sticks to what he know and just tries to be the best DeColt he can be. Shoulder tackles! Suplexes! Rogers cries foul as one last distraction. Jetson tries the Slingshot Suplex but Jack slips behind. Bridging German Suplex! 1... 2... Rogers tries to sweep the leg but the ring isn't wheelchair accessible... 3!

JACK DECOLT WINS (11:11)

A bad show. In the ratings, at least. Actually the worst episode of TV I've put on so far. You'd think that was intentional, as this is the last episode before we move networks, but no. I had faith in that main event. I know Jack is a notch below his older brothers, but it seems like my perception of Jon Jetson is  pretty 'off' to. In my mind he's a solid upper card heel. Good size. Experienced. Good manager. Not jobbed out too badly. But he let the side down here, and exposed why in canon he never really becomes anything. 

I've been talking about the move to the new TV network for a while, but I wasn't able to make that official until after this show aired and the previous deals expired. TV moves suddenly in TEW.

Next week, Title Bout Wrestling debuts on GNS...

It's gotta be Alex here, right? Right? I'm going with my inner fan brain, not my armchair booker brain. I'd kind of love it though if DaLay went over and sent Alex into a spiral. Maybe some Melissa Monroe influenced shenanigans?

Rocky Psycho, Wolfgang Zimmerman & Tavare Loring vs Ed Monton, Howling Dog & Condor
Toss up pick. There are storylines pulling this whole thing in like five directions, which is fantastic. 

Eric Tyler vs Johnny Maverick

I wish Maverick well in his recovery after this one.

Jerome Turner "Welcome everybody to the first episode of Title Bout Wrestling here on GNS. To all of our fans in Alberta and British Columbia, we hope you found us okay, and to everyone in Saskatchewan, welcome aboard. It's only fitting that we bring in this change in television networks with a Title Bout for the Television Title. Alex DeColt challenges his old high school bully Dan DaLay, in tonight's main event."

ERIC TYLER VS HOLLYWOOD JOHNNY MAVERICK

Jerome Turner "His students have failed to win the CGC Tag Team Championships, so Eric Tyler is trying to show them how it's done."

Tyler tries to teach the rookie a lesson on the mat, but underestimates Johnny's submission game and has to instead resort to his traditional bag of tricks. Cheap shots. Eye pokes. Lots of hair pulling. Hollywood auditions for victory with arm bars and heel hooks, but it's Tyler's acting skills that get him the part, faking having something in his eye and locking in the Tradition Lift when Johnny lets his guard down. 

ERIC TYLER WINS (6:31)

Jerome Turner "Eric Tyler has now defeated each member of the tag team champions in singles competition, but will that be rewarded in the voting of new Matchmaking Committee?

BACKSTAGE

MELISSA MONROE, WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS & FRENCHIE MARCEL watch the voting results be announced. 

 MELISSA MONROE
What a magical moment. Our first vote together as the new
 and improved CGC Matchmaking Committee, and I think it
 went off without a hitch. I don't know what you were all 
so worried about.

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
We were worried you were going to use this as a way to ruin
 things. We're still worried about that.

MELISSA MONROE
Nonsense, darlings. I want what GNS wants, which is what we all
 want. For this to best the best television program it can be. Even
 if I wanted to make a mess, how could I? I only have two votes.
 Admittedly, that's more than any of you, but so long as you all stick
 together there's nothing I can possible do. So relax and enjoy 
yourselves... and if either of you want to come to my office to
 'talk'... my door is always open.

Melissa leaves. 

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
I'd better not see you take her up on her offer.

FRENCHIE MARCEL
Moi? You were her cabana boy back in the 70's!

Whipper and Frenchie eye each other suspiciously.

IN-RING 

ROGER ROGERS has made his way to ringside, microphone in hand. 

ROGER ROGERS
Justice has been served! The suspension has been lifted! I have 
single handedly fought corruption and-

He's interrupted by the entrance of BARRY BOWEN. He takes Rogers' microphone without even looking at him and rolls into the ring where the manager can't follow. Rogers tries to look okay with that. 

BARRY BOWEN
I'm the biggest,  I'm the baddest, and now once again I am the
 CGC World Champion. Like I was born to be. 'In the Company of 
Legends' should have been a great night, but do you know what 
I found when I got home that night? No congratulations. No 
celebration. Just an eight-year-old girl, with tears in her eyes, 
and questions. "Why, Daddy?". "Why did you do those awful
 things to Steve DeColt?". The bond between a father and daughter
 is sacred, Steve, and you got between that. I had to tell her, 
Steve. I had to explain to a scared little girl exactly why, exactly
 how, I ran you down. She didn't want to hear it. She cried. She 
begged. But she had to hear it. I had to make her understand, 
and that's because of you. 

You're not the only DeColt she likes, Steve. She won't say it to 
my face, not any more, but she likes your brother too. Jack. Says
 he's 'nice'. Helps little old ladies crossed the street. Visits cripples
 in the hospital. He's going to pay for that. I'm going to run him 
down just like I did you. I'm going to break bones, I'm going to do
 awful things, and I'm going to make my daughter watch every
 second of it. Because I'm the Champion. Me. And a daughter's 
hero should be her father.

WOLFGANG ZIMMERMAN, ROCKY PSYCHO & TAVARE LORING


ED MONTON, CONDOR & HOWLING DOG

Jerome Turner "Tavare Loring has betrayed Howling Dog... but why? Perhaps we'll get answers in this six-man tag team match."

Howling Dog wants Tavare, but his fellow tribesman avoids him at every turn. Monton unleashes patriotic fury, but Tavare clips his ankle allowing Wolfgang to overwhelm him with muscle. Rocky calls the shots as his team attack without remorse. Wolfgang's strength. Rocky's elegance. Tavare doesn't do much but makes a difference whenever he does, stopping every attempted comeback before it can start. Monton may be double tough, but he isn't triple tough. Time running out, Dog summons the wisdom of his spirit animal and start antagonizing Rocky, mocking him until he snaps. All hell breaks loose! Monton tags out! Condor soars! Howling Dog goes on the warpath with tomahawk chops and a Sky High Spinebuster! Condor & Monton need to team up to tackle Wolfgang out of the ring, as Howling Dog prepares to finish Rocky with the Star Blanket (Top Rope Splash). Tavare pushes him off of the ropes, and he and Rocky hit a Spike Piledriver for the 1... 2... 3.

WOLFGANG, ROCKY & TAVARE WIN (10:03)

Jerome Turner "Our expert ring crew are going to need sometime to set up the steel cage for our main event, so let's look at some highlights from earlier tonight."

JON JETSON looks on impressed as BIFF THE BRUISER lariats BOB CASEY out of his boots and pins him. 

CGC INTEROGATION ROOM

    

GEORGE DECOLT and WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS have BATTERING LAMB at the table, sweating under a single swinging light.

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
Your friend is in a lot of trouble. Helen Wheels is missing and 
all signs point to him. He has her belt. He has her roller skates. 
And now we have photographic evidence that puts him at
 Calgary Airport ten minutes before her plane landed on the day
 she went missing.

GEORGE DECOLT
All we want is to find Helen. If you know something, if you 
help get her home safe and sound, maybe we'll go easy on him. 
If you know something, now's the time to tell us.

SCHOOL OF TRADITION CLASSROOM

ERIC TYLER
CGC's tag team champions are a joke. A stain on the legacy of tag 
team wrestling. I beat Chandler. I beat Maverick. One-on-one they
 aren't in my league, and goes double for as a tag team. All I need
 is a partner, any partner, and I will educate them on what tag
 team wrestling is all about. I have many capable students, but 
only one of them will earn the opportunity of a lifetime and 
stand beside me as I win the CGC Tag Team Titles.

CAGE MATCH
FOR THE CGC TELEVISION TITLE
 
ALEX DECOLT VS DAN DALAY
   

Jerome Turner "They've battled twice before, but there will be no chance of interference or shenanigans inside this impenetrable steel cage. May the best man win!"

Two young rivals throw hands with reckless abandon. DaLay uses his size and strength advantage to bully Alex around the ring, but while he can dish it out, he's not a fan of taking it, and instinctively tries to flee when Alex battles back with some powerful punching and bullying of his own. There's nowhere to run, and Alex has some fun dishing out noogies and nipple twisters.

DaLay puts away childish things and get violent, hurling Alex in the walls of the cage over and over, and grinding his face into the chain link. Alex is in trouble. He has to think fast, and starts climbing the cage. DaLay thinks he's running away and climbs after him, but it's a trap. Much more comfortable with heights, Alex outmaneuvers and outsmarts the giant on the chain link, crotches him on the ropes, and hits a Biiiiiiig Superplex! 1...2... DaLay barely kicks out.

  

JOHN McCLEAN, FRANKIE FLAME & RASH REILLY run down to the ring with bolt cutters to try to open the door, but EDDIE CHANDLER, JOHNNY MAVERICK and JACK DECOLT fight them off and add more chains and padlocks to the door. 

No help is coming for DaLay as he falls victim to Powerful Punches, a Pretty Powerslam, and a Smoooooth Driving Elbow. DaLay begs for mercy, but this time he's the one setting a trap. Eye poke! Big Boot! 1... 2... Alex kicks out but DaLay immediately locks in the Tradition Lift (Double Chicken Wing). Alex refuses to tap, so DaLay starts ramming him face-first into the cage. Once! Twice! Thinking fast, Alex kicks off the cage, rolling behind Dan and hitting him with a Straightjacket Drop! 1... 2... 3!

ALEX DECOLT WINS (11:38)

INTERVIEW ZONE

  

JULIE FORLETTA is struggling to interview JACK DECOLT, who is running back & forth, jumping for joy at what he's just seen. 

JULIE FORLETTA
A huge win for Alex there, but next week you get your own chance 
at title glory when you fight Barry Bowen. Feeling confident?

JACK DECOLT
Golly, Julia. After watching what my brother just did I feel like 
there's nothing I can't do! Barry's Bowen's in for the fight of his life.
 I'm gonna do whatever it takes to be the Best DeColt that I can be, 
and bring even more gold back to DeColt Country.

New images! New banners! Traditionally in my diaries I do this with the change of champion, but the change in TV networks felt more apt. Maybe this tradition hasn't been fully set in stone in 1997. 

The move to GNS appears to be a good one, tripling our TV viewership when I only really expected a small increase. The value of the move was to establish a base in Saskatchewan before I start running live events there, but this is an extra bonus. 

A better show than usual. I made a point of putting some quality matches on. Alex and DaLay did about as well as they are going to at this point in their careers with a good enough cage match. The 6-man was filled with capable veterans. Eric Tyler really should be wrestling more, and it comes as no surprise to me that he could lead Hollywood Johnny to something awesome. Barry Bowen was the shock, delivering a really good promo considering he's not known for being a talker. Gimmick, popularity and momentum are all in his favour, but I'm not sure I'd bank on him delivering that every week. 

Having played a bit of the beta yesterday, I am not overly excited to switch to TEW 9, which may be good news for me finishing up this project nicely. The game world hasn't thrown up any scenarios that interest me, there's more clicking, and the pictures... I struggle to understand why, if you're re-doing the pictures anyway, why would you stick to the 150x150 images. It's so small (and smaller with the borders) and it just makes me feel distanced from the characters. Maybe WMMA was too much of a pain to sort out when it had the full body images. 

Of course, my main complaint is that Jack DeColt is canon 6'5 now. In my head-canon Jack is the shortest of the brothers, John Cena/Kurt Angle size, and a slight Napoleon Complex because of it.

INTERVIEW ZONE

JULIE FORLETTA is with ROGER ROGERS. 

JULIE FORLETTA
CGC World Champion Barry Bowen is due to arrive at any 
moment, although last week he seemed preoccupied with what 
his eight year old daughter thinks of his challenger tonight. 

ROGER ROGERS
As every parent should. I have it on good authority that Little
 Lisa Bowen has been sent to bed early, with no supper, so
 she can think about the importance of family. Young girls are 
far too easily swayed these days. They foolishly fall for charlatans
 and liars and degenerates like the DeColt Family. She has proven
 she cannot be trusted to watch tonight's title match without 
proper adult supervision, so she'll watch it tomorrow, with
 Barry Bowen sitting beside her, explaining exactly why Jack 
DeColt needs to suffer tonight. All of the context. Every detail. 
She's a lucky girl to have a father like Barry Bowen, just as we
 all are lucky to have him as our CGC World Champion. 

NELSON BLAIS, LAND MASS & MAMMOTH


JAKE SLOAN, BLACK SHEEP & BATTERING LAMB

Jerome Turner "The search for Helen Wheels continues, but who is responsible for her disappearance? It's probably Black Sheep."

The villains accuse Black Sheep of kidnapping! Black Sheep accuses them of cannibalism! Sloan immediately agrees with the Sheep, but Lamb isn't so sure. Especially when his partner whips their opponents with a pink feather boa. Land Mass and Mammoth squish and squash their foes, but can't get their hands on Black Sheep, who antagonizes them into chasing him around ring, through the ring, under the ring. He uses the turnbuckles to vault over Mammoth and- Anti Air Missile (Dropkick to Flying Opponent)! Blais shoots him out of the sky! 1... 2... 3!

NELSON BLAIS, LAND MASS & MAMMOTH WIN (5:42)

Blais celebrates as Battering Lamb saves his partner from further interrogations.

GEORGE DECOLT and WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS have JOHN McCLEAN sitting under the single swinging lightbulb. He's sitting up straight, positively beaming. 

GEORGE DECOLT
Do you know why we've brought you here? Because I don't. 
What are you doing here, McClean?

JOHN McCLEAN
Character witness! I know exactly what kind of nefarious wretch
 Black Sheep is, and I'm willing to tell the world under oath. He
 drinks. He smokes. He pushed me into pig manure. I hate Black
 Sheep and I would do anything to make sure he gets put away
 for a long time.

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
Anything, huh? Like... framing him for a crime?

JOHN McCLEAN
No. Well, except for the time with the birthday party... And trying
to get him disqualified in Grand Prairie... And when I got him 
banned from crossing the border...

GEORGE DECOLT
And what is your relationship with Helen Wheels?

JOHN McCLEAN
Lovely girl. I admired her from afar for quite a while, until I asked 
her out one time. She said no, which made me pretty mad. 
I swore revenge, but only because she made a scene in front of
everyone in baggage cla-

ERIC TYLER barges in and starts dragging his student away by the arm. 

ERIC TYLER
This interrogation is over! McClean, stop talking. You have a match
 to get to! DeColt, leave my student alone. He has nothing to
 do with whatever nonsense this is. He's just an idiot, and you 
should be ashamed. 

Jerome Turner "Eric Tyler needs a partner for his upcoming tag title shot, and each of his students have been trying to prove it should be them." 

MARIO HEROIC moves in mysterious ways, but there's nothing mysterious about RASH REILLY poking him in the eyes and pulling the tights for a 1... 2... 3!

Exhausted, FRANKIE FLAME misses a Big Boot and gets hit with the EDDIE CHANDLER Backcracker for the 1... 2... 3!

JOHN McCLEAN VS EDDIE CHANDLER

Jerome Turner "We saw his classmates in action, but does John McClean have what it takes to be the Headmaster's head boy?"

Energetic Eddie tries to tire the student out, but McClean keeps up. Unlike Frankie, he's mastered Eric Tyler's "Importance of Cardio". Not to mention 'Introduction to Hair Pulling'. Eager to impress his Headmaster, McClean follows the Eric Tyler playbook flawlessly, but Eddie has seen those tricks and schemes all too recently and has learned to counter them. Voici Eddie! Le coup de poing! Fabulous Dropkick! Remembering his training, McClean manages a desperate roll up, putting his feet on the ropes for the 1... 2... 3!

JOHN McCLEAN WINS (6:59)

INTERVIEW ZONE

JULIE FORLETTA
It won't be long now before your big match for the CGC World
Title. Barry Bowen seems determined to make an example of
you for being one of his daughter's favorites. 

JACK DECOLT
Golly, I don't know about all that. I'm no parent, but I think a kid should
 be allowed to cheer for whoever they want. Little Lisa Bowen's a great
 girl, and I don't think cheering for me means she loves her Dad any less... 
although forcing her to watch wrestling while she's crying might... but I'm 
no expert. I'm just going to focus on what I know; trying my best, fighting
 my hardest, and being the best DeColt I can be. I'm coming for gold tonight.

Jon Jetson & Biff the Bruiser
THE NEW ENFORCERS

MOORE MOOSE
Ted Moore & Moose Mulder

Jerome Turner "Jetson has been struggling in his search for a new partner, but Biff seems promising so far."

Jetson's impressed to see Biff is eager to get stuck in. Maybe too eager. Biff's bashes and bludgeons Moore without letting Jetson tag in, and the new team argue over who gets the glory. Ted isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, but he knows an opportunity to escape when he sees one, and gives the crowd what they want; Moore Moose! Mulder saves the day with burly brawling, ducks a Lariat from Biff that takes out his own partner, and- Moose Punch! 1... 2... 3!

MOORE MOOSE WIN (6:05)

INTERVIEW ZONE

ALEX DECOLT
It was a long time coming, but I finally got a measure of revenge on 
Dan DaLay. He took a lot of my lunch money over the years, and it
 feels good to finally take something from him. I-

MELISSA MONROE
Alex, darling, how wonderful to see you. Haven't you grown
 into a fine, strapping young man. I could just eat you up. How
 long has it been? Three years? Four? I haven't seen you since...

ALEX DECOLT
... since you tried to hit me with your car?

MELISSA MONROE
Water under the bridge, darling. I can't even remember what 
you did to get me so mad. The important thing now is that you're
 CGC Television Champion, and when you're talking television, 
you're talking GNS. And when you're talking GNS, you talking to
 me! Clear your schedule. You and me are going to be 
working very closely together.

BACKSTAGE

HOWLING DOG
If Tavare Loring has a problem with me, we should settle it 
between us. He doesn't need to to involve Rocky Psycho. 
He doesn't need to continue disrespecting our people's sacred 
tomahawk. But that's exactly what he has been doing, and I 
want to know why. So far he hasn't had an answer for me, for 
any of us, but next week he'll have no choice. We grew up the 
same way. Same culture. Same values. Following the traditions 
passed down from our ancestors, I will defeat him in First Nation
Combat and next week, Tavare Loring will speak.

CGC WORLD TITLE MATCH

JACK DECOLT VS BARRY BOWEN

Jerome Turner "Barry Bowen fought long and hard to get that belt back around his waist, and he still has a chip of his shoulder."

Jack tries to take the train of its tracks with amateur wrestling takedowns, but Bowen easily tosses him aside. Bowen laughs, but if at first he doesn't succeed, Jack will try, try again. He keeps moving, keeps trying, but just as he comes close to taking the champion off his feet, Bowen switches tracks, trading power for punching and pummeling Jack into oblivion, building steam, and making sure the camera gets a good look at the youngster's suffering. He wants his daughter to see.

All the while, tenacious Jack keeps looking for takedowns, and finally gets one! He tries for a submission, controlling Bowen with amateur techniques... but Bowen is a Runaway Train! He shrugs off suplexes! He barrels through shoulder tackles! Jack can't stop the train, but maybe he can ride it? He jumps on Bowen's back with a Sleeper! The Champion struggles to shake him loose, until he rams him repeatedly into the turnbuckles at terrifying speeds. Train Wreck (High Velocity Shoulder Tackle)! Powerbomb! 1. 2. 3. 

BARRY BOWEN WINS (10:12)

Lost 2,000 viewers this week. Perhaps the impact of a taped show. Perhaps just because this show was worse. Bless him, Jack isn't a stellar main event talent yet, but this was fine. Barry Bowen was very good in there. 

In other news, HGC went on a hiring spree, picking up my old cast off Steve Flash and Enforcer Phillip Roberts to exclusive deals. SWF let Roberts go a couple of months back, and he was on my shortlist, almost to the point of bringing him in for 'In the Company of Legends'. He could have been a good partner for Jon Jetson. As for Flash, good for him. He was too talented to be a fifth-string babyface in a regional company anyhow.

Speaking on ex-CGC wrestlers, Switchblade Mike got injured on a DAVE show and is out for a few months. He was originally in the Wolfgang Zimmerman role, but had bad chemistry with Rocky. Dodged a bullet there. 

And finally, in actual CGC news, Jean-Pierre Baptiste and Whippy the Clown finished up. Both were brought in just for the Legends event. I have more than enough Road Agents already, so Jean-Pierre's only use would be an occasional cameo. And Whippy still lives in California. Not worth the flight to bring him in. Hopefully he didn't have anything to do with Helen's mysterious disappearance.

Jerome Turner "Eric Tyler has earned himself a Tag Team Title shot by beating the champions in singles action... but who will his partner be? His Students have been trying to impress, but only one of them can join their teacher in tonight's main event."

SCHOOL OF TRADITION CLASSROOM

  

ERIC TYLER
I like you Rash. You remind me of a young me... but you won't be
 my tag partner tonight. You're just... Small. Really small. It's 
not your fault. You're young. Maybe you'll grow. Maybe. But 
even though you can't be my partner, and even though your
 size likely cost us at 'In the Company of Legends', you can still 
be useful. The Bubbleweight Title is a ridiculous belt with a
 ridiculous name, but if it's brought to this school we can turn it
 into a jewel of our crown... and you are uniquely qualified to 
do it. Forget the tag team titles. You must turn your attentions
 to the gymnasts and the luchadores-

RASH REILLY
And the sheep?

ERIC TYLER
Ugh. Yes. The sheep. Please take out the sheep.

ROCKY PSYCHO VS CONDOR

Jerome Turner "Speaking of the Bubbleweight Title, if Rocky slimmed down just a little he could be quite the force in the division."

Rocky's all smiles as he accepts Condor's challenge of armdrags, dropkicks, and running, Running, RUNNING! Rocky almost keeps up. Almost. He's fast, but he's carrying too much muscle to truly keep up and Condor takes flight. Flying head scissors! Soaring dropkick! Embarrassed, Rocky Psycho snaps! No elegance, Nothing fancy. He overpowers the smaller man and hammers him with punches and stomps and hits the Slice of Life (Spinning Headlock Elbow Drop) for the win.

ROCKY PSYCHO WINS (8:57)

INTERVIEW ZONE

  

JULIE FORLETTA interviews VIGILANTE HAWK.

JULIE FORLETTA
Tavare Loring has sided with Rocky Psycho against his Tribesman, 
Howling Dog. You were Tavare's tag team partner for years. Why
 is he doing this?

VIGILANTE HAWK
I wish I had an answer for you, but I truly do not know. Tavare should
 be as angry as I am to see our people's sacred artifact in the hands 
of Rocky Psycho, and I invited him to 'In the Company of Legends' to
 help Howling Dog see it returned to its rightful place. Did something
 change? Did he plan this all along? I don't know, but Howling Dog is 
going to find out tonight when he fights Tavare in First Nation Combat.
 In accordance to the traditions of our people; the loser must speak.

SCHOOL OF TRADITION CLASSROOM

  

ERIC TYLER
I like you Frankie. You remind me of a young me... but you know why
 we lost at 'In the Company of Legends', don't you? Cardio. You got
 tired, Frankie. I put you in the perfect position, but you couldn't keep
 up. You let the side down, and that can't happen again. Not tonight,
 and not ever. So you don't get to be my partner tonight. Instead you 
get to run laps around the building, and a time will come where you 
will thank me for it. Now get going. 

/w Rocky Psycho WOLFGANG ZIMMERMAN VS ED MONTON /w Condor

Jerome Turner "Tensions are still running high from our last match. Both of those men are still at ringside!"

Monton's happy to throw hands with the best of them, but Wolfgang overwhelms him with pure muscle. He rattles his bones with repeated body slams, before trying to squeeze the life out of him with a bear hug. Double Tough Monton fights back with patriotic fury. Side Canadian Legsweep! Canadian Suplex! Rocky tries to interfere but Condor stops him! Wolfgang is distracted! Backslide! 1... 2... 3!

ED MONTON WINS (6:58)

All four men continue to argue. Rocky tries to make things violent, but Security get involved to escort them all away.

Jerome Turner "Good call to clear ringside, especially with our next match. First Nation Combat, up next."

KITCHEN SET

ALEX DECOLT is on the set of a Cooking Show. 

ALEX DECOLT
Hi, I'm CGC Television Champion, Alex DeColt. Don't miss tomorrow
 night's exciting new episode of Canadian Cook-Off. This week they're
 making my favorite dish; poutine, but they have to do it with one
 hand tied behind their back. It's going to be chaos, and its only on GNS.

CGC INTEROGATION ROOM

MELISSA MONROE and GEORGE DECOLT sit at the Interrogation Table under the single swinging light, having just watched the previous segment. WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS angrily turns off the monitor. 

GEORGE DECOLT
What the hell was that?

MELISSA MONROE
Synergy, darling. We give our friends under the GNS umbrella a 
little plug, they let some of our talent appear on their show. 
Mutually beneficial advertising. I would have cleared it with you 
first, but it seemed like such an obvious win for all parties. Now
 why am I in this dreadful room?

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
Helen Wheels. Talk. 

MELISSA MONROE
I've never met the girl, and I'm sure if I did we'd be best of friends.
 I've always been a strong advocate for women in the workplace.

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
Oh please. There isn't a woman in wrestling you haven't stabbed in
 the back. Heidi Brooks. Dixie Diamond. Lillian Baroni. One whiff
 of someone younger and prettier than you and you start putting
 laxatives in their coffee.

MELISSA MONROE
That's a boldface lie! Heidi Brooks was never prettier than me.

GEORGE DECOLT
You have to admit, Melissa. The timing is suspicious; her disappearing
 right before you showed up.

MELISSA MONROE
What's 'suspicious' is you two spending all of your time playing
 good cop, bad cop when you should be dealing with that awful
 sheep who is clearly responsible for all of this. The network is 
watching, and I'm sure they won't appreciate you accusing their
 own representative. 

Melissa leaves.

WHIPPER SPENCER MARKS
I hate to admit it, but she is right. All evidence does point to
Black Sheep.

GEORGE DECOLT
I know. We'll bring him in.... After his Title Bout with
Nelson Blais next week.

INTERVIEW ZONE

NELSON BLAIS
Last week I shot Black Sheep out of the sky. Next week
I do it again. No nonsense. No shenanigans. Just a new
 CGC Bubbleweight Champion. 

IN-RING

First Nation Tribesmen surround the ring, led by VIGILANTE HAWK.

FIRST NATION COMBAT

TAVARE LORING VS HOWLING DOG

Jerome Turner "This is it, folks. By the ancient traditions of their tribes, if Howling Dog defeats Tavare is honorable combat he-"

Tavare immediately rolls out of the ring and gets counted out.

HOWLING DOG WINS (0:11)

Howling Dog is in disbelief. He chases Tavare up the ramp and yells at him, but Tavare doesn't respond. 

ROCKY PSYCHO and WOLFGANG ZIMMERMAN hit the ring from the crowd and start laying waste to the First Nation Tribesman. Howling Dog tries to help them, but Tavare Loring clocks him from behind and throws him off of the ramp! Only Vigilante Hawk puts up a fight, flooring Rocky with a brutal headbutt, before getting face to face with Tavare Loring. He yells at his old partner, until overwhelmed by Wolfgang.

  

ED MONTON and CONDOR run down the ramp, but they're not fast enough. Tavare picks Hawk up for a piledriver, while Rocky is launched high into the air by Wolfgang, spiking Hawk into the ground as he lands. Damage done, the trio flee from the ring and escape through the crowd before Monton and Condor can get to them. 

Howling Dog is hurt, but manages to get to his feet with some help. Vigilante Hawk isn't moving, and the surrounding medics aren't advising that he should. 

SCHOOL OF TRADITION CLASSROOM

ERIC TYLER sits down with JOHN McCLEAN, who is giddy with anticipation. 

ERIC TYLER
No.

JOHN McCLEAN
What? But I'm your best student! I always finish my homework! 
I attend all of the extra credit seminars! I picked up your dry
 cleaning! Give me one good reason why I'm not the best choice.

DAN DALAY looms over him. McClean shuts up.

ERIC TYLER
I know you're disappointed, John, but you're too... special... to 
just do one thing. I need you helping everyone. I need you to be
 my... um... Teacher's Assistant. Rash is going to need help winning
 the Bubbleweight Title. Frank needs help with his cardio. There's 
more dry cleaning to pick up. I like you John. You remind me of
 a young me... 

CGC TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
  

DAN DALAY & ERIC TYLER VS EDDIE CHANDLER & JOHNNY MAVERICK

Jerome Turner "Is it any surprise that Tyler has turned to his first, and biggest, student in his time of need?"

The champions divide and conquer, staying out of each other's way. Maverick bests Tyler on the mat, while energetic Eddie runs rings around DaLay. A sneak attack by the Headmaster changes the tide, and Tyler teaches his rookie partner every trick in the book, using a struggling Chandler to demonstrate eye pokes and hair pulling. DaLay learns fast, but isn't quite ready for advanced fish hooking, and Hollywood Johnny gets back in the spotlight. Clotheslines. Clotheslines. Kind of a lot of clotheslines.

   

JOHN McCLEAN, RASH REILLY & FRANKIE FLAME try to get to the ring, but Security are expecting them and head them off.

  

As Security are distracted by the students, the Soldiers of Fortune; CHANCE & FATE jump the rail and get into the ring. DaLay is happy to see them, until they nail him with a Spinebuster/Senton combo and drag Chandler on top for the pin.

EDDIE CHANDLER & JOHNNY MAVERICK RETAIN (11:46)

FATE
Hey Tyler. Keep your money. We've got ourselves a new benefactor.

CHANCE
The Soldiers of Fortune are under new management.
