SWF: Supreme World Challenge (CVerse 2020)

[Charasmatic Enigma]

Season finale event

 

Predictions for THE SUPREME CHALLENGE 40

 

Joey Morgan vs Scythe

Scythe is one of your top guys, and Morgan doesn't need the rub

Darryl Devine vs The Crippler

If Devine still has his 'Groundwell of Support' note, this win could catapault him up the card

SWF World Tag Team

The Awesomeness (Jefferson Stardust & Huey Cannonball) (c) vs The Dallas Cowboys (Marshall Dillon & Ranger)

I'll go for the champs to retain

Atom Smasher vs Steven Parker

Could see you going with Parker here, but I think Atom Smasher still has more to give

NETSTREAM Intercontinental

Hollywood Bret Starr (c) vs One Man Army

Brett Starr is a character who could take off with a couple of big wins

Nicky Gilbert vs Spencer Spade

There's only one true future of the SWF! 

Angry Gilmore vs Roderick Remus

Gilmore can still go, and Remus has a bit of work to do before getting a win like this

SWF North American

Des Davids (c) vs Primus Allen

Should be a great match. It could be the making of Primus Allen, and it allows Davids to move on to bigger things

Hollywood Uncensored (Lenny Brown & Mainstream Hernandez) vs Valiant & Giedroyc (Valiant & Jack Giedroyc)

Whip the crowd up with some American patriotism before the Main Event

Main Event: SWF World Heavyweight

Remo (c) vs Rocky Golden

For a big anniversary event like this, I'd expect the babyface to send fans home happy

(BONUS 1) Whose entrance will get the biggest pop?

Rocky Golden

(BONUS 2) Will SWF beat USPW season finale event Independence Day Slam?

Yes

SUPREME CHALLENGE 40

Joey Morgan vs Scythe

 - that's gotta be Scythe.

Darryl Devine vs The Crippler

 - I feel there's no better time for a younger talent like Double Deez to take a win over a veteran than the biggest show of all time.

The Awesomeness (c) vs The Dallas Cowboys

 - For me, it feels too early to take the belts off these fellas and they're just too entertaining.

Atom Smasher vs Steven Parker

 - because why not? 

Hollywood Bret Starr (c) vs One Man Army

 - it's the biggest show of the year, there has to be some title changes. OMA should probably be a transitional champ at this stage but should be a good little jaunt.

Nicky Gilbert vs Spencer Spade

 - this man has been anointed since the dawn of time, he should be winning this.

Angry Gilmore vs Roderick Remus

 - My boy.

Des Davids (c) vs Primus Allen

 - I always think Davids is losing to move up the card, and I like Primus ...but Davids being kind of early into his face "rock flag and eagle" run, the American belt could stay with him.

Hollywood Uncensored vs Valiant & Giedroyc

 - One half my boy.

Remo (c) vs Rocky Golden

 - I know we're far from the 80's golden age of squeaky clean (in presented image, not in substances used) babyface wins to close the show ...but this is number 40? Just feels right I guess.

(BONUS 1) Whose entrance will get the biggest pop? Usually I go Scythe but with recent developments, it's Rocky Golden.

(BONUS 2) Will SWF beat USPW season finale event Independence Day Slam? You're on a roll lately, and this is the big one. It's gotta go your way. Yeah.

THE SUPREME CHALLENGE 40

(Saturday, week 2, July 2020. Franklyn Field, Philadelphia, PA. Attendance: 50200)

 

 

 

Calvin Harris is live in Philadephia to open the show making the 50200 fans at Franklyn Field jump with "Let's Go". An opening to highlight the impressive attendance, the 2nd largest in North America in 2020 only behind USPW Stars, Stripes And Slams (51408).

 

 

 

JOEY MORGAN vs SCYTHE

 

Joey Morgan and The Reaper are in an opening match to work the crowd. The fans supported Morgan from the start and for the first minutes it gave him extra energy to be very dynamic in the ring and connect some good moves. But Scythe is freak athlete to say the least and, as soon as he got his hands on Morgan, he made a big impact in the match with running powerslams and powerbombs. Joey Morgan survived the first pin attempt somehow kicking out at 2.

"Joey! Joey!" chants allowed Morgan to create some space and then take the action to the mat, where he tried to submit The Reaper with an arm bar. Scythe showed his tremendous strength to break the submission and then attack with two consecutive running powerslams. After 15 minutes, Scythe finished Morgan with the Choke Slam.

At the announcers table, Duane Fry points out "Scythe is now 4-0 at The Supreme Challenge. Scythe has never lost at the season finale event. Who can stop The Reaper? Are we witnessing the beginning of a streak?".

Scythe def. Joey Morgan (74)

 

 

 

DARRYL DEVINE vs THE CRIPPLER

 

Mighty Fine facing The Crippler in a match that was expected to be a technical masterclass. But both of them underperformed and made this bout the weakest of the night. The slow beginning where they used a tactical approach didn't worked well because it took too much time.

Then they fought on the ground and there were a lot of submission attempts from both sides. Devine looked very close to submit his opponent with a leglock around the 12 minute but The Crippler used a rope break. The experience of the 47-year-old Crippler made the difference in this match. After 16 minutes, The Crippler submitted Devine using a headlock.

The Crippler def. Darryl Devine (57)

 

 

 

     

 

ANGLE: SWF booker Eric Eisen is in the ring to address the fans. Eisen reminds the history behind The Supreme Challenge, from the times of his father Richard Eisen to the present, 40 years of tradition of the most important event in the world of wrestling. Eisen says SWF is returning to the number 1 position in American wrestling and promises this is only the start of a new order in the wrestling industry (79)

 

 

 

SWF World Tag Team championship 

THE AWESOMENESS (JEFFERSON STARDUST & HUEY CANNONBALL) (c) vs THE DALLAS COWBOYS (MARSHALL DILLON & RANGER)

 

The Dallas Cowboys are the only tag team that has defeated The Awesomeness this year. Because of that The Awesomeness did all they could to avoid this title defence. In the end, The Awesomeness ahve no choice but to defend their titles against the Texans.

Ranger and Huey Cannonball faced each other. Huey delivered a tornado DDT and a senton to take the advantage. Then Ranger reacted with a stunner. Ranger tagged Dillon and The Dallas Cowboys hit Huey with the Rodeo Driver...

 

 

Huey Cannonball was in trouble when Randy Unleashed made his entrance running down the ramp. Because of the distraction Dillon could not pin Ranger. Not only that, Randy made the difference attacking The Dallas Cowboys while Jefferson Stardust distracted the referee. Randy connected the Running Enziguri on Marshall Dillon.

Stardust got tagged and the referee saw Randy doing another dirty trick and banned him from the ringside. Stardust tried to pin Dillon, but he kicked out at 2. Again Stardust pinned Dillon after a 360º splash and again Dillon kicked out at 2.

Huey got tagged in but he could not control Dillon while fighting on the apron and they both fell outside the ring...

 

 

"ZWB! ZWB comes out from the crowd! What is he doing here?" says Duane Fry at the announcers table. Zimmy attacks Marshall Dillon with a devastating flying kick. Quickly, Huey helped by Zimmy picks Dillon back to the ring. Huey pins Dillon... 1... 2... 3!!! The Awesomeness retain in a great defence that had a little bit of everything and clearly stole the show.

With Randy back on the ring, Unleashed Awesomeness celebrated and got booed by the fans. ZWB looks at them while he leaves and gets equally booed. "What the hell is going on here?" asks Emma Chase at the announcers table.

The Awesomeness def. The Dallas Cowboys (78)

 

 

 

ATOM SMASHER vs STEVEN PARKER

 

The Radioactive Wrecking Machine reaches the season finale event with a fantastic 9-1 record in singles matches this year. On the other hand, The Sensational is on a winning streak with 3 victories in a row.

Smashed does some poses provoking his opponent and the match becomes a wild brawl firing up a crowd that erupts in "Steven Parker! Steven Parker!" chants. Smasher attacks with an acid rain of blows but Parker counterattacks with a high knee and a crossbody. Smasher hit Parker with the Radiation Blast but Steven Parker kicked out at 2 after Smasher lost too much time celebrating his move with some poses.

The crowd cheers Parker even louder after that. The Sensational surprises Smasher with the Future Shock... 1... 2... NO! Smasher somehow survives Parker's finisher. At this point, the match was the best of the night so far and the entire building was on their feet.

Parker went for a knee strike but Smasher eluded it and punished Parker with the Mushroom Cloud... 1... 2... 3! Atom Smasher wins in 15 minutes. "It's the 10th victory of the year for Smasher and what a place to achieve that number" said Duane Fry while the fans loudly booed Smasher, who keeps posing for the camera.

NETSTREAM Intercontinental championship 

HOLLYWOOD BRET STARR (c) (w/ Justin Sensitive) vs ONE MAN ARMY

w/ 

 

This is the first title defence for Hollywood Bret Starr, who has refused all previous attempts for months until SWF booker Eric Eisen forced him to defend the title at the season finale event. One Man Army is 3-1 in singles matches since he joined SWF. It's also a match where the leader of Hollywood Uncensored faces a member of the newly created All-American Army.

This match was all about storytelling. Bret Starr showed his cockiness early in the match but he behaved more and more cowardly later while One Man Army played the hero. At the ringside, Bret Starr's sidekick Justin Sensitive tried to affect the match from the beginning.

They fought non-stop delivering some good moves. One Man Army pinned Bret Starr after a piledriver but he kicked out at 2. Also Bret Starr looked for the submission with a chickenwing. But the best opportunity was when One Man Army used his finisher the Guide Missile. Unfortunately for him, Justin Sensitive pulled Bret Starr from the outside in time to avoid the 3-count. The crowd protested heavily but the match continued.

Later, Bret Starr and One Man Army were on the apron when Sensitive pulled One Man Army's leg and he fell dramatically out of the ring. 15 minutes on the clock, Bret Starr takes One Man Army for the Starr Maker... 1... 2... 3! "Hollywood Bret Starr is still the NETSTREAM Intercontinental champion" confirms Duane Fry.

Hollywood Bret Starr def. One Man Army (72)

 

 

 

NICKY GILBERT vs SPENCER SPADE

 

The Aussie Prodigy and The Supreme Star in what Spade labelled "a battle for the future of SWF". The fans showed they were already hyped for this match during their entrances. Gilbert and Spade went all out with a clear intention to steal the show. This time Spade wasn't going to chicken out... or at least not from the start.

They were very even in terms of strength and they were grappling for the first minutes. After a few unsuccessful submission moves from both sides, Spade connected a moonsault but Gilbert kicked out at 1. The Aussie managed to gain the advantage with a fantastic reverse DDT but Spade kicked out at 1 too. The crowd chanted "Let's go Nicky!" and the Aussie delivered the Fisherman's Suplex... 1... 2... 3! "Nicky Gilbert wins! Nicky Gilbert wins!" yells Duane Fry before adding "one moment, what is the referee saying? No way! The referee says Spade was touching the ropes with his feet! The match continues!".

Gilbert was completely frustrated after losing a great opportunity. Close to the 10 minute mark, The Supreme Star hits an arm blow and then the Supreme Stunner... 1... 2... 3! "Spencer Spade wins! Spencer Spade wins!" says Duane Fry as Spade raises his hand. Finally, Nicky Gilbert gets up and the crowd rewards him with an standing ovation as Emma Chase says at the announcers table "these young stars stole the show. This is the kind of match at The Supreme Challenge that changes careers".

Spencer Spade def. Nicky Gilbert (78)

 

 

 

ANGRY GILMORE vs RODERICK REMUS

 

Gilmore has showed why he is called 'Angry' in the past weeks. Gilmore's new personality collided with one of the most recent additions to the roster: Roderick Remus. It was a match about storytelling.

Gilmore insulted the fans in the first rows and the city of Philadelphia saying that "the only good Philadelphia is the cream cheese" and it was welcomed by the fans with "Gilmore sucks" chants.

Then Roderick tried to hit Gilmore with an elbow blow but he crashed with the corner post. From that moment, Remus continued the match injured (keyfabe) to make the bout more epic. Gilmore laughed at Remus' problems and dominated most of the time with a technically gifted performance.

Around the 15th minute mark, Remus tried to roll-up Gilmore but he kicked out at 2. The match was already a demonstration of resilience by Remus at that point but Roderick still had energy to keep fighting.

Gilmore trapped Remus in an armlock but he finally reached the ropes. The fans were rewarding Remus' performance chanting his name when Gilmore put him to sleep with the Sky High Elbow. Gilmore silenced the building to win the match in 20 minutes. Remus was close to upset one of the biggest stars in SWF but fell short in the end.

Angry Gilmore def. Roderick Remus (77)

 

 

 

SWF North American championship 

DES DAVIDS (c) vs PRIMUS ALLEN (w/ Kristen Pearce, Avalanche and Chill)

 w/

 

The patriotic Des Davids was making his 9th defence in this match. The challenger is Primus Allen, who is 1-1 in singles matches this year and has been more focus in being a member of the Demolition faction. Demolition's manager Kristen Pearce and The Domination (Avalanche & Chill) were at the ringside for this match.

As soon as they faced each other the fans erupted in "this is awesome" chants. The scene of Des Davids (6'5, 290 lb) facing Primus Allen (6'4, 315 lb) was stunning. After they pushed each other for a short period, the match turned into a wild brawl until they were throwing punches fiercely rolling on the ground.

Then Davids tackled Allen and went for the football punt but missed the target. Allen hit Davids with a spear and made the first pin attempt, but the champion kicked out at 1. Avalanche and Chill looked pretty surprised as Davids kicked out so easily.

Davids put the crowd on their feet with the Touch Down but somehow Primus kicked out at 2. Around the 12 minute mark, Allen hit Davids with another spear and both of them fell to the ringside, where Avalanche and Chill took turns to hit Davids as much as possible before the referee banned them from the ringside. Despite Kristen Pearce protests the referee didn't hesitate.

Davids did an incredible effort to kick out at 2 after Primus Allen tried to end the match with the Flying Lariat. The entire Franklyn Field cheered Davids, but they couldn't stop Allen to pick Davids' body for the most thunderous Running Powerslam in Allen's career. Primus Allen won the match in 15 minutes and became the new champion. Fantastic match.

Primus Allen def. Des Davids (81)

 

 

 

HOLLYWOOD UNCENSORED (LENNY BROWN & MAINSTREAM HERNANDEZ) vs VALIANT & GIEDROYC (VALIANT & JACK GIEDROYC)

 

 

 

Valiant & Giedroyc make their entrance while many fans hold their "Valiant/Giedroyc 2020  Make SWF Great Again" signs. In the titantron screen we see two horses, one white and one black. White represents the pure spirit of Valiant, while the dark horse represents Giedroyc's road to redemption (81)

 

The new faction All-American Army that Valiant & Giedroyc have created with One Man Army was a response to Hollywood Uncensored bully methods. After giving a warm welcome to the babyfaces, the crowd kept cheering them during the whole match.

Hernandez and Giedroyc started the match. Hernandez used his aerial skills (those that have helped him shine this year with great performances especially against ZWB) to control the first minutes. Then Giedroyc connected a Commonwealth Punch and was about to go for the Crashing On when Hernandez could tag Lenny Brown.

With Brown and Valiant in action, the match was a little bit more on the side of the babyfaces. "Bad Bad" was able to get some offense after a brainbuster, but Valiant reacted to put the fans on their feet with the Patriot Missile. Instead of going for the cover right away, Valiant tagged Giedroyc, who pushed Hernandez out of the ring with a rebound move before they combined to finish Lenny Brown with a new move, the Atlantic Missile. Big celebration in the middle of the ring for the babyfaces.

Valiant & Giedroyc def. Hollywood Uncensored (81)

 

 

Main Event: SWF World Heavyweight championship 

REMO (c) vs ROCKY GOLDEN

 

 

  

Rocky Golden makes his entrance running accompanied by a bunch of kids to the most legendary theme song of Rocky's movies. "The Pride Of Philly" is the local hero is greeted by the entire Franklyn Field with "Rocky! Rocky!" chants as the camera points at many Rocky Nation and #1 golden signs. Rocky's entrance was the most awaited and it obviously got the biggest pop of the night (87)

 

Despite the spectacular entrance, the 4-time champion Remo looked less than impressed. The Destruction Sector where Remo fans were seated tried to start "Remo" chants but they were silenced by the rest of the crowd. The Franklyn Field was so loud that it was really hard for Duane Fry and Emma Chase at the announcers table to hear each other.

After a phase where they studied each other, they pushed each other and in that situation the referee tried to mediate but they unintentionally hit him. With the referee knocked, the madness took over the arena. In a few minutes they were fighting on the stands, breaking tables... even a plastic seat was destroyed after Remo launched Rocky on it. The match was completely different than their previous one where Rocky lost the belt months ago, this was a frenetic wild brawl. And the fans were loving every bit.

They were completely even for minutes. Remo destroyed everything with his devastating spears. Rocky punched as much Remo as other things that caught in his way. But the referee woke up and demanded them to return to the ring starting a 10-count.

After 13 minutes they were back on the ring. Remo connected another devastating spear and then went for The Destroyer... 1... 2... NO! "CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?" yells a shocked Duane Fry. "Rocky! Rocky!" were the only audible words from that point with all the fans on their feet until the end of the match.

Rocky reverted an elbow blow and then connected a combination of punches to the upper-body using an incredibly fast-paced foot work to keep the distance with the champion. Instead of covering, Remo tried to counterattack but he could not reduce the distance and Rocky punished him harshly. Then the challenger went for the Rocky Road... 1... 2... 3!!! "ROCKY GOLDEN IS THE NEW CHAMPION!" yelled Duane Fry. The fans invaded the ring to lift "The Pride Of Philly" for an instant classic ending as Duane Fry sentenced "this is absolutely epic. This is what we do in SWF, WE MAKE HISTORY".

Rocky Golden def. Remo (86)

 

 

SHOW RATING: 86

 

Edited June 25 by newbiezness

[Rhaums]

What a series finale! Can't wait to see how Scythe's streak goes, and fun seeing Rocky still on top at his age!! Genuinely have enjoyed reading your booking for this so much so far!

[Wrestling Machine]

I see you with that Taker streak building for Scythe lol 4-0 @ the biggest stage is already huge!

Played TCW a lot and never was amazed by Devine, not the sign of year to say at least, but hey Crippler won so who care 🤩

 

Smasher vs Parker was a great match! Atom Smasher next No. One Contender for the world title? What's his POP atm?

 

Was afraid of O.M.A. win, imo having Bret Starr retain was the right pick!

 

Huge W for Primus Allen, is this his first championship win in SWF?

 

Rocky Golden vs Remo was the best main event match-up SWF could book, great match and great performance!

 

Congrats on a great show man, and congrats for taking that #1 spot back!

[CGN91]

Great Show man!

Loved to read it. The whole thing around Rocky Golden vs. Remo was tremendous and absolutely fantastic to read.

[Charasmatic Enigma]

Great show! The booking decisions made sense, and the conclusion with Rocky regaining the title felt a fitting finale for the 40th Anniversary.

 

Looking forward to what Des Davids does next now that he's 'free' of the NA title, and I'm hoping Spencer Spade & Primus Allen's wins will shoot them up the card.

[Shmoe II]

fantastic show my guy, both a fitting finale and feels like the beginning of many new stories, exactly what a show of this magnitude should be. it's cool to see ZWB back with Randy, although something tells me it's not as simple as an Amazing Bumf reunion! and also glad to see Primus gets a belt - despite his unlimited potential type of feeling, it seems to me in game world and in a lot of diaries he struggles to get a shine.

SWF is back on top baby.

[newbiezness]

@Charasmatic Enigma Devine doesn't have Groundswell of Support note. There were a few guys that came from TCW that have spent some weeks/months in SWF and all of them (Darryl Devine, One Man Army, Roderick Remus) lost at The Supreme Challenge. It was not coincidental, I had the feeling that they must earn it. They aren't the level of guys that can come to SWF and win everything right away. After paying respect to SWF, they'll be able to win things if they deliver the level we demand.

Nicky Gilbert vs Spencer Spade was one of the matches that made me happy the most. Spencer Spade had a 81 performance! To shine like this at the season finale event is something I really value. I was high on this matchup but they surprised me with such a good rating (78). Good things should happen to both of them in the next season.

From the beginning, Primus Allen was the only name in my list to dethrone Des Davids. That's why I created Demolition. I thought a little bit of help for Allen would let him become the new champion without hurting Davids as the powerful and historic North American champion he's been. Now Primus Allen has to be up to the expectations. The rating was very good (81) tying the 2nd best Davids' title defence.

Remo (c) vs Rocky Golden

 - I know we're far from the 80's golden age of squeaky clean (in presented image, not in substances used) babyface wins to close the show ...but this is number 40? Just feels right I guess.

 

This time I decided it was going to be a wild brawl (86). Last time, when Rocky lost the belt, I used the spectacle note and probably made it last foo to long and they underperformed (76). Also, the storyline was freaking hot this time.

It was very difficult for me to pick the winner. When I decided that Rocky was going to win I chose Philadelphia would be the place for The Supreme Challenge 40 and Rocky would be the local hero. But before that, I had to choose between Rocky recovering the title for the babyface win in the anniversary or let Remo have a longer reign because he was doing a perfect job and the ratings were incredibly good.

Now Rocky is back to the number 1 position in POP in USA (93) and Remo is 3rd (91). Rocky is +2 from the start of the year in POP, while Remo is +7. Great news.

@Rhaums Thank you! Scythe is already seated in my Top 3 guys. His POP is now at 87 in USA, that is +16 from the beginning of the year. For the moment I'm enjoying him in this 'special attraction' role but he's ready to do anything in SWF.

Congrats on a great show man, and congrats for taking that #1 spot back!

 

@Wrestling Machine Yep, it was a reference to Taker's streak haha. In canon, Scythe defeated Skull DeBones at The Supreme Challenge 39 and retired him, that's an incredible accomplishment, so if Scythe loses in the future at the season finale event it should be for a good reason.

Smasher and Parker was another of the good news from The Supreme Challenge 40. Smasher is now at 75 POP in USA (+6 from the start). Smasher is now 10-1 in singles matches this year, so he's a potential challenger for Rocky for sure.

Yes, it is Primus Allen's first championship in SWF. He's 31 and also a 4-time RIPW champion. He's got all the tools to become one of my top guys, I hope this victory will help him get to the next level.

Rocky vs Remo (86) got the 2nd best rating of the year, only behind Remo vs Mikey Lau (88)

Loved to read it. The whole thing around Rocky Golden vs. Remo was tremendous and absolutely fantastic to read.

 

@CGN91 Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Everything clicked in-game this time as I've already said and I tried to make it feel that way in the write-up.

Great show! The booking decisions made sense, and the conclusion with Rocky regaining the title felt a fitting finale for the 40th Anniversary.

 

Looking forward to what Des Davids does next now that he's 'free' of the NA title, and I'm hoping Spencer Spade & Primus Allen's wins will shoot them up the card.

 

@Charasmatic Enigma Thank you! It was a grand finale for sure. Des Davids will be one of my icons (he's already taken that role in the last months I'd say) in the new season. Spencer Spade will have more opportunities in the new season. After winning a the North American title, Primus Allen will be in a position to shine, now it'll depend a lot on him although I'll try to book a good reign.

fantastic show my guy, both a fitting finale and feels like the beginning of many new stories, exactly what a show of this magnitude should be. it's cool to see ZWB back with Randy, although something tells me it's not as simple as an Amazing Bumf reunion! and also glad to see Primus gets a belt - despite his unlimited potential type of feeling, it seems to me in game world and in a lot of diaries he struggles to get a shine.

SWF is back on top baby.

 

@Shmoe II Thank you! I like these kind of season finale shows, whenever I create my own companies I also add a season finale event. ZWB is turning heel as you all already expect and we'll a different Zimmy too. Primus is the kind of wrestler you expect in SWF and I expect good things now that he's got the belt.

I'll make a POP and mid-season awards recap.

[newbiezness]

 

 

 

THE BEST OF THE YEAR SO FAR

 

21CW dominates the Best Of The Year So Far awards including Best Wrestler, Best Company, Best Tag Team and Best Match.

 

 

 

COMPANIES FAN BASE

 

After The Supreme World Challenge 40, SWF has become the #1 company in USA. SWF is doing a fantastic job in North America, cutting the distance to only 3 POP points in Canada and Mexico. Reportedly, NETSTREAM is high on the potential of the Mexican market, where SWF's popularity is rising incredibly fast.

 

SWF still needs to do much more to close the gap outside North America, where USPW has grown very fast in the last months. But SWF booker Eric Eisen knows it's going to be a long race and trusts the process.

Fantastic show, man. Just  a lot of fun and really well thought out.

 

I caught up on this yesterday and today; read it in two sittings and just totally enjoyed it. And I know people have said similar things previously, but I'd like to echo them: the game world updates really help with the total immersion I feel as a reader. Having an idea of the scope of what you're trying to accomplish in the game while still getting to enjoy the details of the shows really makes the whole thing go.

 

Keep up the good work.

Maybe you should think about a turning a couple of Heels, as your roster is very Heel Heavy.

It's a possibility because you're right there are many heels. It'll also depend on the rewards. It's part of the options that I'm giving to the top positions in the last predictions contest. In the previous rewards, @Shmoe II chose to turn heel Mikey Lau and @Charasmatic Enigma chose to turn heel ZWB. So first of all I'll see what comes out from the rewards this time.

[SIser187]

Nicky Gilbert vs Makutsi

This feels like a squash.

 

Faith & Old Glory (Matty Faith & Masked Patriot) vs John Greed and ???

Mystery team.

 

Bear Bekowski vs Roderick Remus

Feels like Roderick'll have more to do going forward.

 

Hawaiian Crush (Ekuma & High Flyin Hawaiian) vs Wall Street Wolverines (Monty Trescarde & Sammy Smoke)

I personally like these guys better.

 

Brandon James vs Steven Parker

Could be the start of a mini feud.

 

Main Event:

One Man Army vs Scythe

Scythe SMASH

 

(BONUS)  Who will be John Greed's tag team partner? As tempting as it is to copy that thought, how about his old tag partner Atlas as a new signing?

 

(OPTIONAL) Who's been your favorite in the diary so far? Who do you want to step up in the new season? I love Remo as this destroyer type obviously. As for who I'd like to see get more of a focus for his own angle...Mainstream Hernandez just always strikes me as someone who has both talent and potential.

[Shmoe II]

Nicky Gilbert vs Makutsi

 - After a good showing at Supreme Challenge I think he's gonna bounce back strong!

 

Faith & Old Glory (Matty Faith & Masked Patriot) vs John Greed and ???

 - mystery box.

 

Bear Bekowski vs Roderick Remus

 - I think Bekowski could take this on size alone but Remus seems a lot more in focus right now.

 

Hawaiian Crush (Ekuma & High Flyin Hawaiian) vs Wall Street Wolverines (Monty Trescarde & Sammy Smoke)

 - former champs so I'm going for their extra tag experience

 

Brandon James vs Steven Parker

 - James is a solid vet with a cool gimmick, and DAVE alumni are a soft spot for me (not you Tank Bradley)

 

Main Event:

One Man Army vs Scythe

 - I could see someone costing Scythe the match here after a big SC for him to kick off a new thing ...can't seem to pick against him though.

 

(BONUS)  Who will be John Greed's tag team partner? Charger Siaki

 

(OPTIONAL) Who's been your favorite in the diary so far? Randy Unleashed and The Awesomeness have been crushing it and I want Randy to step it up to the next level.
