Scottie Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 (edited) HGC "HOLLYWEIRD TV" TUESDAY, WEEK 2, FEBRUARY 1997 Hosted by Jason Azaria & Kyle Rhodes from another sell-out crowd at The Grissom Auditorium. The show opened with a fun brawl, pitting Whistler and The Vessey Brothers against Romeo Heartthrob and Joel Bryant & Paul Steadyfast. Bryant & Steadyfast were without their injured leader Robert Oxford, while The Vessey Brothers were teaming with Whistler for the first time. Larry Vessey was the strongest performer, while there were some heated exchanges between Whistler and Romeo. But it was Bryan Vessey who won the bout, beating Steadyfast with the Vessey Driver. [60] During the bout, Whistler took a cheap shot from Steadyfast and was down on the outside recovering. That gave the losers the numbers advantage - which they eagerly used as they delivered a beatdown to The Vessey Brothers. Whistler eventually recovered and chased them off, but Romeo Heartthrob in particular cockily posed on the outside; clearly proud of his work. [37] The Blazing Flames were backstage with veteran interview Pat Deacon, where they spoke about their upcoming bout against The Demons of Rage. They said they had toppled giants before and felt no fear ahead of their first title defence. Joey Flame in particular was looking forward to his tune up bout next week; against the charasmatic brawler, Cowboy Ricky Dale. [48] Poor Jason Jackson was then thrown to the wolves, as he faced the fearsome Charlie Homicide. Some might have thought Homicide would have been frustrated after last week's loss to Sam Strong; but does the man really feel pain? Well, Jason Jackson sure did as Homicide prolonged the suffering for a bit before finishing him with the Murder One. [57] Liberty then gave a rousing backstage promo ahead of his title tournament bout against Rip Chord. The "Super Cool Dude" promised his fans that he'd make it two-from-two against the legend - before he was soon interrupted by Chord himself who walked into frame clapping. Chord was flanked by his massive bodyguard Danny Rushmore, and made barely concealed allusions to Rushmore having a "big part" to play in the tournament later tonight. [70] We then get another video of Dusty Streets performing some feats of strength to show "He's Still Got it!". Mercifully, these will come to an end when he debuts as THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. [67] Backstage, Sam Strong rails to interviewer Pat Deacon about the injustice of the attack on him by Rip Chord and Danny Rushmore; and how he plans on winning the title. He's soon interrupted by Richie Pangrazzio, Jr. - who simply says its an honour to meet him later that night before shaking hands. [73] We then get another segment of the Power Minute with Jimmy Power. He recaps the pre-show, including yet another wild brawl involving members of the cruiserweight roster. This time, Dark EAGLE and Jack Bruce needed to be pulled apart. [21] Immediately after, the veteran road agent and interviewer Pat Deacon says the cruiserweight issues will be put to bed at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. There will be a triangle tag team match: Mucha Lucha (Eléctrico & Mr Luncha) vs. Spirit Warriors (Dark EAGLE & Golden Fox) vs. the newly christened Rock 'n' Rudo (Jack Bruce & Ramon Paez)! [25] That brings us to our penultimate bout, as Liberty and Rip Chord did battle in the second semi-final of the HGC World Title Tournament. It was the first time they'd met since Liberty shocked the world with an upset win over Chord last year, but unfortunately the pair just didn't quite click. Nevertheless, Liberty got in a lot of offence - with Chord rolling out of the ring to collect himself on a few occasions; at times even berating his looming bodyguard Danny Rushmore. The end came as Rushmore distracted Liberty - and referee Dewey Libertine - at ringside; allowing Chord to strike Liberty low and then hit him with the DDT to advance to the title match at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE! [64] After the break, we got ready to find out Chord's opponent for the inaugural HGC World Title match, as a determined Richie Pangrazzio, Jr. came out flanked by his father Coach Dick. As he warmed up, some familiar music hit - but where was Sam Strong? The four-time heavyweight champion's absence soon became apparent - as the camera went backstage to a brawl between Strong and the hulking Danny Rushmore! (Luckily, the Grissom Auditorium is one of the few small venues with a large enough monitor in the arena so that the fans could see what was happening). Strong fought well, but eventually the strength of the giant became too much as Rushmore whipped him into some boxes and then literally threw him into a nearby catering table; breaking it. [61] The camera then panned back to the ring, where a shocked and concerned Richie Pangrazzio, Jr. looked on - consulting with his father nearby. After a moment, the image of an unconscious Sam Strong appeared on the screen - before Danny Rushmore and then Rip Chord (still in his trunks from earlier) stepped into view. Chord could barely contain his laughter as he congratulated Pangrazzio, Jr. on finally making his way through to a world title match - because it looked to him that Sam Strong couldn't compete! Strong stirred briefly, but a boot to the head from Rushmore put paid to that; as the show went off air to the sound of Chord's laughter and the conflicted look of concern on Pangrazzio, Jr.'s face.

Shmoe II Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Mucha Lucha (Eléctrico & Mr Lucha) vs. Rock 'n' Rudo (Jack Bruce & Ramon Paez) vs. Spirit Warriors (Dark EAGLE & Golden Fox) - I love me some 90s WCW style cruisers to open the show, and I love luchadors - but this is 'Murica damn it and these are the guys with the charisma. Jimmy Power vs. TBD - I know not of Jimmy Power, TBD seems a good bet. Dusty Streets vs. TBD - I would like for somebody who got a lot of vignettes and hype to come in and lose his first bout (if he's a heel of course) but it's usually not the way it goes. HGC World Tag Team Titles: The Blazing Flames (Joey Flame & Teddy Flame) (c) vs. The Demons of Rage (Demon Anger & Demon Spite) - honestly I could absolutely see a quick title change here because the Demons are legendary, but I think the Flames escape with it or the Demons rage maybe gets them DQ'd. HGC World Title: Richie Pangrazzio, Jr. (???) vs. Rip Chord - if it is indeed the match that happens, there's only one outcome, sorry Richie. The "?" makes me a little hesitant hahaha but you pick what's in front of you. Loving this so far man! Your presentation is A1 as normal but it's super fun to see you not only run a sports entertainment product and flesh out these characters but one in it's infancy designed to quickly pose a challenge to the top dog. Out of purely personal curiosity, are you going to focus on HGC and building your stories or do you have an in-game intention to grow as quick as possible and challenge SWF?

Scottie Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 HGC "HOLLYWEIRD TV" TUESDAY, WEEK 3, FEBRUARY 1997 Hosted by Jason Azaria & Kyle Rhodes from a half-full crowd in the Gorski Ballroom. The show got underway with a singles bout between the tag champion Joey Flame and the young brawler Cowboy Ricky Dale. Dale put in a good display here, though the match was clearly aimed at building Flame up. After a scoop slam, Flame went to the top rope and landed the Swan Dive Splash for the pinfall after a decent opener. [49] Following the bout, Joey was congratulated in the ring by his partner Teddy Flame - before the pair were interrupted by The Demons of Rage! The massive tag team came out looking to intimidate the champions - only for The Blazing Flames to fight back immediately! The two teams brawled, before referees and road agents spilled out to break them up. The two teams hurled insults at each other from across the ring as we went to the first break. [45] Back from the break, and Richie Pangrazzio, Jr. was giving a backstage interview ahead of the biggest bout of his career at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. But true to form, he was quickly interrupted by Rip Chord who as usual was flanked by the giant Danny Rushmore. Chord mocked Pangrazzio, Jr. and told him that he'd be kissing Chord's feet at the end of the pay-per-view - before capping it off with a playful tap to the cheek. Pangrazzio, Jr. was incensed - and he needed to be held back by his father and Pat Deacon as Chord walked off laughing. [59] There was some tag team action next, as Larry Vessey teamed up with Whistler to meet Romeo Heartthrob and Paul Steadyfast. At the beginning of the bout, Jason Azaria announced that Whistler and Heartthrob were due to meet in a singles bout at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. There was some decent brawling in this one, with Vessey in particular the stand out. The finish came as Joel Bryant helped out from ringside by distracting Whistler - while he ate a right hand for his troubles, the distraction was just enough for Heartthrob to roll Whistler up for the quick pinfall. [53] We then got the Power Minute, as Jimmy Power glossed over the pre-show and instead hyped his long-awaited return to the ring at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. We did catch enough, though, to see a post-match brawl between Rock 'n' Rudo and Eléctrico. [40] The Power Minute was then followed by a backstage promo from Rock 'n' Rudo, who hyped the three team cruiserweight bout at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. Jack Bruce did most of the talking, while Ramon Paez looked on with a steely look of determination. The crowd, however, did not care. [29] Speaking of didn't care, next up was an extended squash as Danny Rushmore eventually took Monty Walker's head off with the Atomic Boot. Walked did his best, but young Rushmore remains limited to say the least. [14] After the bout, Rushmore decided to extend the punishment - only for a furious Sam Strong to come charging out the back in denim pants and a cut off shirt! Rushmore saw the charging veteran just in time; dropping Walker and scrambling out of the ring and up the ramp. Furious after suffering another attack at the hands of Rushmore last week, Strong challenged the 26-year-old to a singles match at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. Rushmore accepted somewhat reluctantly - and his reluctance turned to horror as Strong told him there'd be no running away next time, because the two would be meeting in a cage! [55] Liberty then gave a generic promo backstage, promising to bounce back from his disappointing loss to Rip Chord last week. He said the path to the world title might be a winding one, but the "Super Cool Dude" would get there soon. [63] We got the final hype video for Dusty Streets' return at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. He promised a "big name" for his return - where he'd show the world that "He's Still Got It"! [62] We then got the main event bout, which was Rip Chord's final tune up ahead of THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. He was facing the 25-year-old rising star Bryan Vessey, who was best known for being part of the All-Star Team. The bout was an excellent one, with Chord clearly well prepared for the pay-per-view. But after a good opening, we were robbed of an ending - as Richie Pangrazzio, Jr. stormed the ring to get back at Chord after his insults earlier in the night; causing the DQ finish. [73] With Pangrazzio, Jr. getting the upper hand, Chord managed to roll to safety - retreating up the ramp looking harried and somewhat worried. He hurled insults at Pangrazzio, Jr., who stood tall in the ring ahead of the biggest bout of his career at Sunday's inaugural pay-per-view! [69] _________________________________________________________________________________________ HGC "Hollyweird TV" Gorski Ballroom 2,442 Fans Tuesday, Week 3, February 1997 Joey Flame defeated Cowboy Ricky Dale (7:51) with the Swan Dive Splash.

The third Sunday of the month sees J.K. Stallings' Hollywood Grappling Company make its pay-per-view debut with THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE! A jam-packed show will see eight main card matches, including two title matches - with the main event set to crown the inaugural HGC World Heavyweight Champion! That bout will see former SWF, TWL, CGC, APWF and AAFW Champion Rip Chord take on "The Franchise Player" Richie Pangrazzio, Jr.! Chord comes into the bout as the hot favourite, but can he best "The Franchise Player" who has looked electric since making his return from retirement last year? We'll find out on Sunday! Elsewhere, part of Chord's success needs to be put down to his hired help, "The Mountain" Danny Rushmore. The towering powerhouse has been a thorn in the side of all Chord's opponents, and has twice this year attacked Sam Strong - including one which cost the megastar a shot at the title. He now needs to put his proverbial money where his mouth is, as he faces the biggest test of his young career - a one on one bout with Strong inside a steel cage! In other action, the tag team titles will be on the line as inaugural HGC World Tag Team Champions The Blazing Flames take on the two-time CGC World Tag Team Champions The Demons of Rage. The Demons have only been seen once in the ring, but they are a formidable pairing - and this is bound to be a huge test for the Flames in their first title defence. Elsewhere, we've seen six weeks' worth of promos announcing the impending debut of Dusty Streets, the four-time SWF World Tag Team Champion. He's been performing progressively more impressive feats of strength; eschewing his classic old school face tendencies with some increased confidence. He's promised a big opponent for his in-ring debut - can he start with a win? It's not the only mystery opponent, though, as elsewhere Jimmy Power also makes his HGC debut with an open challenge. Power has been furious that he's not been given a single match on HGC programming - instead being forced to recap dark matches during the show. But the 52-year-old will be keen to show he's got what it takes with his debut here at THE WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE. In other singles action, we get a showdown between Romeo Heartthrob and Whistler. The two struck up a rivalry in recent weeks after crashing out of the world title tournament, with the cocky Heartthrob getting under the skin of the popular Whistler. Most recently, Heartthrob got a pinfall win over Whistler - albeit following a distraction - and the patriotic brawler will be keen to avenge his loss. In other action, The Vessey Brothers will team up in a tag team bout against The Untouchables' Joel Bryant & Paul Steadyfast. Poor Bryant & Steadyfast have been somewhat rudderless since the shoulder injury to their leader, Robert Oxford, but got a big win last week as Bryant's distraction allowed Steadyfast & Heartthrob to beat Whistler & Larry Vessey. It's a big match which is likely to have tag title implications. Finally, the opening stanzas of many of HGC's "Hollyweird TV" shows have been taken up by mass brawls between cruiserweight wrestlers. Here, we see six of them in action: the Japanese pairing of Dark EAGLE & Golden Fox; the mentor-protege team of Eléctrico & Mr Lucha; and the rising heel duo of Rock 'n' Rudo, Jack Bruce & Ramon Paez. The two face teams will be keen to get some revenge on the dastardly Rock 'n' Rudo duo; but how will they go when a win is on the line? _________________________________________________________________________ HGC "WAR TO SETTLE THE SCORE" Sunday, Week 3, February 1997 Card subject to change Triangle Tag Team Match: Mucha Lucha (Eléctrico & Mr Lucha) vs. Rock 'n' Rudo (Jack Bruce & Ramon Paez) vs. Spirit Warriors (Dark EAGLE & Golden Fox).

Willsky Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Quote After confusing things with the last update (sorry about that!), we are now *finally* headed to the first pay per view and first prediction contest (where the winner gets an actual prize)! Ooh, a prize!? I think putting the anticipated match card at the end of each TV show confused us all, thinking that was the next show! Mucha Lucha (Eléctrico & Mr Lucha) vs. Rock 'n' Rudo (Jack Bruce & Ramon Paez) vs. Spirit Warriors (Dark EAGLE & Golden Fox) Mr Lucha is great, so I want his team to win. Saying that, Jack Bruce is inevitably going to get a push at some point! The Untouchables (Joel Bryant & Paul Steadyfast) vs. The Vessey Brothers (Bryan Vessey & Larry Vessey) Some of the best youngsters in the company, I gotta back them. Romeo Heartthrob vs. Whistler Jimmy Power vs. TBD Seems set up as a comedy heel to get humiliated. Dusty Streets vs. TBD The exact opposite. Heroic veteran on one last run? HGC World Tag Team Titles - The Blazing Flames (Joey Flame & Teddy Flame) (c) vs. The Demons of Rage (Demon Anger & Demon Spite) Gonna bet on the big-name champs retaining and holding up the face side of things. Cage Match: Danny Rushmore vs. Sam Strong Hopefully some much needed redemption for Strong who's had a hard time so far! HGC World Title: Richie Pangrazzio, Jr. vs. Rip Chord Biggest star rules as heel champion to draw the most fans? I pick Flair Chord. Bonus Point: What will be the highest rated match of the night? Main event, although you never know, TBD sometimes pulls out some great matches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
