TCW: The New Generation


Recommended Posts

Good show to start the next PPV cycle. A lot of characters really have their own voice (Swoll, Queen, Chord etc) but I actually think my standouts are the announce team. I've never really written for one as whilst I've seen plenty of writers use them really well, I've always struggled, but your 3 might be my favourite. It feels unique that it's basically three faces and yet it doesn't feel like it needs a real heel on there as it already feels balanced and realistic. The way Doakes is often the butt of jokes and yet still feels like he's in control as lead announcer is great.

Ok, new month means new prediction scores. And I'll be the first to admit that I didn't really throw any surprises in there this week. You all did super well, with only the opener throwing anyone off. Freddy Huggins is a guy I've always liked but I try to keep my tag and singles divisions separate for the most part, so this was really just a way to get very talented members of the current tag champs on the show while I do my traditional thing of having no idea how to book a tag division!

 

After week 1 of Feb, the scores are as follows:

 


MiykaelP: 6
knkmaster69: 6
KyTeran: 6
christmas_ape: 6
moafnsteel: 6
Tiberious: 5

Doakes is almost a self-insert for me to be honest 😁. He's full of enthusiasm, very verbose and well respected but is good-humoured enough to recognise that he's kind of ridiculous and is happy to play the straight man while others get to be make fun of him. I'm glad the announce team chemistry is working for people - they're vehicle by which I try to communicate the through-line of every show so I think them having defined personalities is important. I also kind of landed on the dynamic of Shawn and Jasmine being the proper announce team while old man Azaria just sits there occasionally popping in pearls of wisdom in the process of writing them. Sometimes three-person teams can be too much, but I kind of envisage TCW's as a two-and-a-half person team because he knows when to step back and let the kids call the show.

Live from the Centerpiece Bridge, Charlston, NC
Tuesday 8th February, 2022
Attendance: 5000

 


 

Pineapple
Good evening folks and welcome to another exciting broadcast of Total Wrestling, where T-Bone Bright's ongoing - some might say ill-advised - rivalry with The Syndicate promises to take an unprecedented turn, a shocking swivel, a sensational swerve...

 

Please don't change the channel, I promise he's nearly done.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
...Jasmine is - as ever - the canary down the mine of my sometimes-laborious wordplay.

 

[A prolonged pause]

...were you going to finish?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
...finish what?

 

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH T-BONE AND THE SYNDICATE TONIGHT?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Oh right. Wolf Hawkins - powerful backstage figure that he is - has promised that a win for himself and Doc Hammond against Joshua Taylor and Troy Tornado tonight will allow him to choose the stipulation of T-Bone Bright's World Title match against Jay Chord at The War To Settle The Score!

 

How in the world did he swing that? That's outrageous.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
By being Wolf Hawkins, I would imagine.

Hello everyone. I am also here, despite Shawn's best efforts to have me die of old age on air.

 

As the bard once said: brevity is the soul of wit. So allow me to take that to heart and shut the hell up as we hurtle into our action for the night: T-Bone looks to warm up vs Maverick, who himself has had a poor start to 2022 and desperately needs to right the ship!
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

 


 

Bright is clearly holding back a little in this match, looking to ease his way into form for his end-of-month clash with Jay and as such it gives Maverick some opportunities to inflict damage.

The commentary team are quick to draw attention to the fact that for all his aura of danger, T-Bone is actually only 1-1 so far this year and will need to pick up the pace. And despite the slow start to this match he does - eventually - do so; flooring Maverick with his trademark lariat before forgoing the cover to pick him up for a powerslam and the pinfall victory, perhaps sending a message to Jay Chord with the emphaticness of the victory.

 

Winner: T-Bone Bright
Method: Pinfall
Time: 9:48
72

 

Pineapple

 

 

The camera briefly focuses on a celebrating T-Bone in the ring, who is in light-hearted spirits as he interacts with the fans at ringside. However, when the feed cuts to a meeting backstage, his enthusiasm probably fades...

 

Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple

 

The entire Syndicate stride purposefully down a corridor backstage with a camera keeping pace in front of them. They come to a door, knock, and then enter without waiting for a response.

It's Jay Chord's dressing room. The champion is sat lazily in a shirt and jeans with his world title draped across his midriff.

 

Pineapple
Wolf.

 

Jay.
Pineapple

 

A tense silence passes between them. Doc shifts uncomfortably. Flint's unblinking gaze is typically unreadable. J-Train runs a tongue over his teeth.

 

Alright, let's drop the theatrics. Can we talk?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Seems like you already have. To SOMEONE at least.

 

[A knowing smile]

Let's not pretend you've never made a phone call to BriCo to get your way, shall we, Champ?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

[Jay's face contorts into a light sneer]

What do you want, Hawkins?

 

We just wanted to see whether you might have a preference of stipulation when Doc and I win tonight. We thought there might be an opportunity for parlay here.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
...and were I to accept your gracious offer, what would it cost me?

 

[Wolf's smile widens into an animalistic grin]

A shot at that.
Pineapple

 

Wolf's hand oustretches towards the belt at Jay's waist. Behind him Doc grins and nods while Flint and J-Train remain largely unmoved. The camera zooms in on Jay's expression; his eyes narrow for a moment before he blinks.

 

Pineapple
Let's talk later. See if we can't find some common ground.

 

I always knew you were a business man at heart.
Pineapple

 

The feed fades to black and then cuts back to an unimpressed T-Bone in the ring, who rolls his neck as if readying himself for war before heading back up the ramp.

 

81
Pineapple

 


 

Seth Whitehead his introduced as a fiery youngster from Minnesota and given a fair amount of the spotlight by the commentary team, though it's clear that here he is being used as enhancement talent for One Man Army, getting the veteran a win back after his loss last week. Still, this is more than a mere squash match and Whitehead comes out of it looking slightly better than he did before.

 

Winner: One Man Army
Method: Pinfall
Time: 7:45
54

 

Pineapple

 

The camera initially follows Seth Whitehead as he is escorted down the side of the ramp and towards the curtain which comprises the "Loser's Exit". It's not an uncommon camera move though perhaps a little unusual to follow a rookie who is - after all - expected to lose. However, as Seth approaches the curtain the reason for the lingering shot becomes clearer as a commotion breaks out from the other side of the fabric.

Abandoning its pursuit of Whitehead the camera crew race backstage to find a scene of disarray, with several young wrestlers and members of staff scattered on the floor like bowling pins. There is broken glass, fragments of table and one poor soul appears to have been put through an internal window.

We can hear the shouts for help and medical attention ringing out in the near distance and the camera whips around just in time to catch...

 

Pineapple

 

Killer Shark in his dark blue singlet, stalking the halls and leaving a trail of destruction in his wake...

 

72

 

We head back to the commentary desk...

 

Pineapple
No sign of Swoll so far - unfortunately for those poor souls.

 

Here's hoping someone is able to put a stop to Shark's rampage before he seriously hurts someone important.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
We're legally obligated to point out that Total Championship Wrestling values all of its staff equally and takes any workplace incident seriously.

 

Yeah but... you know... come on; we're all greatful window guy wasn't Aaron Andrews, right?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
And speaking of, I wonder where the Ace is. We haven't seen him since he was brutally assaulted by Shark at Malice In Wonderland.

 

After seeing that I would also be avoiding work if I were in his shoes.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
We'll leave the subject of Shark for the moment and cross our fingers that he calms down while we proceed with our undercard. And we have a number of fascinating matchups for you here.

First, The American Cobras look to project themselves into the hunt for the tag team titles with only their second match of the year. Then, in a trios match, Sammy Bach, Benny Benson & Jimmy Foxx seek some manner of retribution against The Family who so badly brutalised Foxx last week. I can't imagine he's in fighting shape.

 

No I would think not. I wouldn't be surprised to see him there just making up the numbers.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Nice of their pal, Troy Tornado, to dump them for a main event tonight.

 

While I'm certain they would love his help, I'm also sure that none of them would begrudge him a chance to get one over on Wolf Hawkins. So Foxx will have to do.

Let's get back to the action, then. Here come the Cobras!
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

 


 

The young partnership of "Amazing" Al Morean and "Pretty" Paul Story - otherwise known as Pretty Amazing - make their main roster debut in this match though the commentary team make clear that they are a developmental talent being given a taste of the big leagues rather than this being a full-time promotion.

It comes as no surprise then when the Cobras dominate the match, utilising their trademark sequences of impressive tandem offence to overwhelm the youngsters before Storm Spillane finally scores the submission win to end it.

 

Winner: American Cobras (Storm Spillane)
Method: Submission
Time: 4:37
29

 

Pineapple

 


 

The initial cheers for Bach, Benson and Foxx turn to a concerned rumbling from the audience as their worst fears are confirmed to be true: Foxx is heavily bandaged and seems barely able to walk under his own power, leaning on his sometimes-tag-partner Benny Benson for aid. By contrast The Family not only look fit, vicious and ready but have their fourth member at ringside in the muscular meathead Dominic Rizzoli.

The match is instantly an uphill battle for the good guys as Bach and Benson desperately try to overcome the odds without having to subject their injured partner to even more punishment, and at times it seems like their sheer force of will might be enough to carry them through. Though, as the match drags on both become visibly exhausted and eventually Foxx faces his fear and demands to be tagged in. He hits a front dropkick on Youngman, ducks a double clothesline attempt from Booth and Mauler of The Button Men to send both over the top rope and then raises an arm in triumph that sees the fans salute his courage before he collapses in the centre of the ring.

Benny Benson is able to drag him back to their corner to make a tag with his prone body before continuing the offence, looking to have Ernest Youngman on the ropes and a revenge victory in sight, but Foxx is rolled out of the ring and attacked by Rizolli. This distracts Benny long enough for Youngman to sweep his legs out from under him and apply his signature Scorpion Deathlock for the submission win. In the aftermath of the match Bach is able to clear out The Family from the ring almost single-handedly, though without laying a glove on Youngman.

 

Winner: The Family (Ernest Youngman)
Method: Submission
Time: 15:13
61

 

Pineapple Pineapple

 

 

A furious Bach is thrown a mic as he stands guard over his fallen friends, directing his ire at Youngman and The Family...

 

Pineapple
Youngman, you may think you're the next big thing in Total Championship Wrestling, but let me tell you something dude: the only think you're "next" for is an ass-kicking from me. Next week. Be here. ALONE, if you've got the guts.

 

Youngman's eyebrow raises behind his shades and his mouth curls into a sour expression, though he nods in agreement.

 

73
Back at the commentary desk...

 

Pineapple
That's a win, but hardly a definitive won, for The Family. Seems Bach is just getting started with them. And how about that for a valiant effort from Flying Jimmy Foxx?

 

You say valiant, I would call it statistically foolish. Bach and co essentially booked themselves into a handicap match there. It may work when it's Devine Fortune picking trainess from our developmental system to practice having a numbers disadvantage, but The Family are no trainees. These are hardened, violent men and I think Bach may have been guilty of underestimating his opponents here.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Interesting, and will he continue to do so when he goes one on one with Youngman next week? Ostensibly without Family influence, though I'll believe that when I see it.

 

Hyenas are never far from the rest of the pack. That's how they attack. Bach would be even more of a fool to expect no Family involvement.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Well the Family have headed backstage now, out of sight and - hopefully - out of mind for the rest of the night. Meanwhile Bradley Blaze is looking to kickstart his 2022 after a loss to Joshua Taylor last month. His opponent is a menacing young worker from Pittsburgh who has made the journey south to be with us today.

And following that - hold onto your seats - it's Shark vs Swoll. That threatens to break some stuff!

 

Pineapple

 


 

Masked Stranger is sold as a journeyman worker who has been working his socks off to arrive at this point in his career. Like Seth Whitehead before him it's clear that he is being set up as more than just a mere jobber, although it's also obvious from early on that Bradley Blaze is winning this match.

The rugged brawler overcomes Stranger's painful-looking submission offense with sheer grit before nailing a second-rope elbow drop and sealing the deal with the Dallas Drop.

 

Winner: Bradley Blaze
Method: Pinfall
Time: 5:43
53

 

Pineapple

 


 

Papa Swoll's entrance is something of an event in itself. Despite being relatively unknown to the fans it's hard for people not to become invested when an enormous muscular man moonwalks past them to De La Soul, shouting "BIG PAPA'S HERE" over and over again. Shark, by contrast, appears with little fanfare save the poor, limp form of a member of staff he holds in one hand as he appears on the stage, who he promptly drops when he sets his sights on Swoll.

The match is an absolute slug fest with neither man going down or yielding as they exchange clotheslines and strikes in the centre of the ring, though it shifts up a gear when Swoll goes for a suplex that seems impossible - and indeed proves to be - which Shark counters with a leg hook before hitting one of his own that threatens to shatter the ring beneath them.

After a period of sustained ground and corner strikes Shark holds the upper hand. That is until Swoll reverses an irish whip, sending him to the ropes, ducks a lariat, hits the opposite ropes himself and then flattens Shark with his trademark shoulder tackle. The first time in the match that Shark has been knocked down, which gets the fans on their feet. However, Shark is able to roll out of the ring just before Swoll can make the cover, saving himself.

The match continues outside with the ref trying vainly to get both men back in the ring. The brawling gets precariously, worryingly close to the announce tables. Shark sends Swoll into the ring steps and then positions him for a powerbomb...

 

Pineapple

 

 

The commentary team go nuts as Aaron Andrews - in his typical stonewashed jeans and matching denim vest, walks out on stage, pauses a moment and then sprints down to ringside!

He and Shark go at it. In the chaos the ref calls for the bell, but it's clear this isn't about a match right now. Andrews ducks a lariat, hits a kick to the gut and nails a Dragon Screw which floors Shark. Behind him, Swoll - having recovered - looms large. The Ace turns around and the two face off for a moment...

...before Swoll shrugs, looks down at Shark, then at the announce table, then back at Andrews. He punctuates his thought process with a thumbs up in a lifting motion, to which Andrews nods before slapping swoll on his absolutely enormous pec.

Together, they set Shark up for a powerbomb and - with a roar from the fans - pick the giant up before drilling him through the announce table - finally some payback for what he did to Andrews at Malice In Wonderland!

 

Winner: Killer Shark
Method: DQ
Time: 10:56
63

 

Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple

 

 

Swoll's music plays and Andrews gets in the ring with him to raise his hand and mouth a few words to him which we don't catch, but which are probably an apology for costing him the match. Swoll responds by slapping the Ace on the chest playfully - though it leaves a pretty big red mark - before Andrews is handed a mic.

 

Pineapple
Shark: this is us even, but I'm not done with you, not by a long shot. End of the month it's you and me. The War To Settle The Score. Ace vs Shark. No DQ. No easy escapes.

 

Shark continues to roll around in agony in the wreckage of the announce table. Whether he heard the announcement or not is unclear but there is a distinct lack of help proferred to the giant by medical crews as Andrews and Swoll leave the arena together.

 

85
The commentary team sit, desk-less and slightly perturbed as the feed returns to them...

 

Pineapple
...I just... I just think that this should be billable. This is emotional distress

 

Shawn feels naked without the desk, folks.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Right there with you, Shawn. I don't know how I lived through the career of Eddie Peak.

 

Yes exactly. EXACTLY. How am I to work now with the detritus of my evening scattered around me?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Well you just used the word "detritus" without a shred of irony, so I would say you're back and soldiering on admirably.

 

...NEXT UP: our main event! Where Wolf Hawkins and his Syndicate stable-mate will take on the team of makeshift allies - Joshua Taylor and Troy Tornado. A huge opportunity for the latter to score an enormous scalp, or a chance for the former to secure their dark bargain with Jay Chord?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Definitely the second one.

 

Neither Taylor nor Troy are true tag competitors and - despite what many think - it is a different discipline, requiring different skills. That'll work against them. Granted, neither is Wolf. But with the tag EXPERT Doc Hammond on his team I suspect this may be a one-sided affair.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
I think it's safe to say Wolf does too, based on his attitude earlier today when he spoke to our champion, Jay Chord. And what form will their agreement take? Any guesses?

 

Nothing good for T-Bone Bright, I promise you that.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
This is classic Syndicate. If you can't surplant someone above you in the rankings fairly, do so unfairly. They are trying to circumvent the T-Bone shaped roadblock on Wolf's path to the World Title.

 

Something I can't see him taking lying down. Let's find out...
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

 


 

Hammond and Wolf are in a visibily confident mood as they stroll down the ramp with Flint Slater and J-Train in tow; it seems as though they believe that the outcome of tonight's main event is a foregone conclusion and this only increases the fans hatred of them even more.

Joshua Taylor looks to start things with Wolf who teases that he will open for his team before immediately tagging in Doc, who proceeds to get chased around the ring by JT's withering kicks and chops which light up his chest before 2 minutes has even passed. Troy and JT keep up the offence and look really composed until Jaylon Martins flattens Troy on the run around the outside of the ring while chasing Wolf.

While that shifts the momentum back in favour of The Syndicate, it's by no means definitive as the two veteran faces continue to battle against an onslaught of outside interference which referee Ray Johnson somehow contrives to miss.

The match descends into absolute chaos when...

 

Pineapple

 

The world champion saunters down to the ring, kicks the ring announcer out of their chair and takes a seat to watch the match. That by itself is distracting and allows Doc Hammond to push the advantage in the ring against Joshua Taylor. A neckbreaker and a deep calf crusher follow and it looks like we may be headed to a submission victory - much to the delight of Chord - when the lights go out...

 

Pineapple

 

Pineapple

 

...and when they come back on, the words "The Blackfire Gospel" appear on the main screen and the video feed before it cuts to a figure dressed in a long black trenchcoat and a dark cowboy hat standing with their arms outstretched, facing away from the camera. The Syndicate and Jay Chord - who stands in response - look on with serious concern on their faces. The arena lights cut out again...

 

Pineapple

 

...and when they come back on this time the camera cuts back to Jay Chord, to find T-Bone Bright standing directly behind him. The crowd cheer, Jay turns tentatively, sees T-Bone, sighs and then goes for a right hand that Bright blocks before laying into the world champion at ringside.

In the ring, Taylor and Troy rally once more and look to be on the verge of an upset victory when Taylor cinches in his Butterfly Lock on Wolf Hawkins, but just as his opponent taps out the ref is distracted by Jay Chord sprinting away from T-Bone, sliding into the ring and running across it towards the ramp side. This gives Doc Hammond just enough time to tag in, drop an elbow on Taylor and then hit him with an Exploder Suplex for the pinfall victory, leaving T-Bone pursueing Chord up the ramp while The Syndicate celebrate a narrow victory in the ring.

 

Winner: Wolf Hawkins & Doc Hammond (Doc Hammond)
Method: Pinfall
Time: 14:33
79

 

Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple Pineapple

 

 

Bright is furious but seems caught between chasing Chord and going back for The Syndicate. A visual metaphor if ever there was one. His decision is made for him, however, when Wolf gets on the mic...

 

Pineapple
Hey Bright, you want to know the stipulation Jay and I agreed on? Do you?

It's me, Bright. I'm the stipulation. At The War To Settle The Score you'll go one on one with Jay Chord for the title you want so much, and I'll be the goddamn referee!

 

The Syndicate cackle in the ring and Bright abandons his pursit of Jay to try and get to them, but security have pre-empted this with literally dozens of them crowding around him to try and restore some order.

 

73
The feed cuts back to the commentary team, who are craning their necks trying to see what is happening on the other side of the ring...

 

Pineapple
What absolute chaos! Wolf will be the special guest referee for T-Bone's title match against Chord, Ray Johnson missed Joshua Taylor tapping out Wolf Hawkins thanks to Chord's intrusion and what in the name of God is "The Blackfire Gospel"?

 

I have an idea or two...
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
As do I. We'll be trying to confirm our suspicions before we offer anything concrete though, but The Syndicate may have a new enemy...

 

Well while Jason and Jasmine are busy being cryptic I am sat here in confused awe at what we've just seen. How on earth can T-Bone hope to capture the World Title now? And this is ignoring that Wolf appeared to be bartering with Jay Chord for a title shot. When will that happen?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
I need a warm drink and a lie down.

 

Make that two of us, Jasmine! Folks we'll try to regain some sense of order here but that's all we have time for. From myself - Shawn Doakes - and my broadcast colleagues Jasmine Saunders and Jason Azaria: thank you for joining us on Total Wrestling and don't you dare miss us next Tuesday!
Pineapple

A lot to love about the show as always. Happy to see it confirmed that it's Blackfire. Him returning to TCW just makes sense, and you did it so well last time. 

 

I liked AA returning in the HHH denim outfit, and Swoll continues to be built up really well. 

 

Any other compliment would be a repeat of what I've already said!

Just realised I wrote the final paragraph of The Family vs Benny, Bach and Foxx as if Troy Tornado had teleported into it. Suffice to say, that was supposed to be Benson taking the fall and I have duly corrected it!

Prediction graphics will be up tomorrow and the show should be done by the end of the week!

I'm a little unsure about putting Bach and Taylor over the younger stars, if these were PPV matches I'd be more likely to predict an upset.

Live from Tulsa, Oklahoma
Tuesday 15th February, 2022
Attendance: 6253

 


 

Pineapple
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Total Wrestling live from the fine city of Tulsa, Oklahoma. And while the state may very well be, there are individuals within those locker rooms back there who are - definitively - not "OK".

 

God, each week it's like a new layer of patience-testing.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Honestly, I love a bit of Rodgers and Hammerstein.

 

Of course you do, Jason, you are - and I say this respectfully - four hundred years old.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
I grew up listening to KISS.

 

And who can even say when that was!?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
It was the mid-70s.

 

What we can say for sure is that we are set to start the action in absolutely barn-storming fashion tonight. First: Ernest Youngman will go one-on-one with Sammy Bach, who called him out after the legal mugging in last week's multi-man tag between The Family and Bach, Benson and Foxx.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Just to be clear, I wasn't alive for World War II.

 

Alright let's get you to bed now, Jason.

In theory, there will be no Family involvement in that match, or at least that was what Bach insisted on while questioning E.Y.'s pride. Though I don't know if he cares about pride as much as winning.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
I wouldn't bet on it, even with Nick Booth tied up with action later tonight.

 

And what about Greg Gauge versus Doc Hammond? A good result for Hammond last week has seen him gather some momentum, which he is looking to capitalise on. While Gauge is fighting to earn his way back into World Title contention after his disappointing result at Malice In Wonderland.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
I respect Doc's ambition in agreeing to this match, but this is going to be a tough night for him, I think. Especially with this spectral "Blackfire" figure seemingly stalking The Syndicate's steps.

 

Let the record show that I think I know who that might be now.
Pineapple

Hallelujah. The last horse crosses the finish line.

 

And that's Youngman's music, so we'll have to leave this speculation where it lies for now. On to the matches!

Youngman - to the surprise of no one - enters with stable-mate Dominic Rizzoli in tow, despite Bach's challenge to leave them all in the back. However, he surprises everyone when he turns and gestures for Rizzoli to head back to the heel locker room when they reach the bottom of the ramp. Something Rizzoli duly does, albeit with a confused expression on his face. During his entrance it's clear that Bach is equal parts surprised and impressed by this sudden display of sportsmanship, though he visibly mouths "It won't save you from a beating" from across the ring.

Bach looks to start things off quickly but finds himself frustrated by E.Y.'s own speed and evasive wrestling, which leaves him chasing shadows until he engage's Youngman on his own level - in a technical bout. It's not all that surprising when Bach comes off worse in this kind of competition, relying on sheer toughness to surprise a sequence of holds and grapple sequences before he is able to reverse the momentum with a backflip from the top rope over a charging Youngman, who runs chest-first into the turnbuckle before stumbling backwards into a german suplex. Bach continues to roll back the years until...

...Rizzoli re-appears, stomping down to the ring in his leather vest and pants, red-faced and looking to hurt someone. Youngman spots him first and waves him off, which gives Bach enough time to sneak up behind him and go for a school boy in a spot reminiscent of E.Y.'s loss to Foxx. He kicks out but is placed on the back foot by the exchange which leads straight into the finish, where Bach smacks Rizzoli off the apron, dodges a charging Youngman at the buckle again and then hits the Adrenaline Shot for the win, leaving his furious opponent - once he recovers - to remonstrate with his stable mate.

 

Winner: Sammy Bach
Method: Pinfall

Gauge and Doc are both technically-minded workers and they put on an absolute clinic for the opening of this match, with Flint Slater's presence at ringside largely relegated to moral support. The pair go back and forth with some excellent chain wrestling which is only disrupted by the now familiar occurence in a Syndicate match of the lights flickering out mid-match...

 

Pineapple

 

...and when they come back on again a dark figure in a trenchcoat and cowboy hat is positioned at the top of the ramp. The match effectively pauses before an initially reluctant Flint Slater storms up the ramp after the figure, who walks backstage with Slater in hot pursuit. For a short while it seems as though that'll be the end of the disruptions for the night and the match continues, with Doc Hammond beginning to get the upper-hand after a low blow from a rear grapple. Mounting the top rope in uncharacteristic fashion - perhaps because of blooming self-confidence - Doc doesn't expect what happens next as the lights go out once again and someone's music starts playing...

 

 

...on the screen a video plays showing a black caddilac driving towards the screen with a driver dressed in that same coat and cowboy hat. Then - moments later - a black caddilac is illuminated by strobing spotlights pulling out of the backstage area. The lights go out. Five seconds of darkness. Ten seconds. Then...

 

Pineapple

 

...they come back on again to reveal the Man In Black clearly for the first time. Stood on the apron beside Doc Hammond - still mounted on the buckle - he leans casually on the ropes with a toothy grin visible beneath the brim of his dark stetson. The camera zooms in and captures him mouthing "Boo" to Doc, who panics, falls off the rope and stumbles straight into the arms of Greg Gauge who hits him with a northern lights suplex which he transitions into a Proton Lock for the win. By the time the ref has recovered and called for the bell, John Blackfire - as the commentators excitedly announce him - is half-way back up the ramp. He doesn't even turn around, just giving a thumbs up over his shoulder as he drifts backstage.

 

Winner: Greg Gauge
Method: Submission

Backstage, Jasmine Saunders and a camera crew race to catch up with John Blackfire.

 

Mr. Blackfire...

...jeez I am out of shape...

...Mr.Blackfire... why The Syndicate? Why choose now to return to TCW? Why the... the theatricality?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

[Blackfire's pointed beard dips as he grins, the camera catching the side of his face in shadowed profile]

Why now? Because now's the time, child. Why the showmanship? Because I want the whole world to know what wrath I bring here. And why The Syndicate? Because that den of thieves has thrived unchecked for far too long

 

And what do you intend to do to them?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
That'd spoil the surprise.

Now, lot of miles between here and next town, and a lot of work to do between here and there.

 

He rounds a corner to the parking bay a few moments before Saunders, who the camera pans to as she attempts to summon up further questions. When they turn it themselves he is somehow 40 feet in front of them, in the black cadillac - whose engine is already running - and in the process of pulling out of the parking garage and into the Tulsa night.

 

What work?... what in the world?
Pineapple

 

The caddilac speeds up the ramp and into the night, leaving Saunders dumbfounded.

 

Erm... I don't... Shawn, back to you at the desk...
Pineapple

We head back to the commentary team...

 

Pineapple
I don't even know where to start with that. Jasmine, thank you for the admirable job in trying to prize imformation from the frustratingly illusive John Blackfire. We now know who he is, and what he wants, though I suspect that his "Blackfire Gospel" may be some time in revealing itself.

Jason, while we wait for Jasmine to rejoin us, we were both here when Blackfire first graduated from the TCW School of Wrestling as an enigmatic, if raw, rookie. It's clear he has honed those rough edges into a dangerous exterior now, wouldn't you say?

 

I was indeed, and what a transformation. I can't say I understand or even agree with his methods, but it's clear that this charismatic young man has spent the past 8 years honing himself into into a formidable force.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
And I'm doing a disservice to Sammy Bach, who managed to overcome an - admittedly slightly distracted - Ernest Youngman in an otherwise fair fight to hit back at The Family. A great win for him.

 

Absolutely huge. Yes, Youngman has lost to Foxx prior to this but anyone with eyes could see that was a fluke. This was a definitive loss for the youngster and a marker that he still has some ways to go to overcome the likes of Sammy Bach.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

[Jasmine Saunders appears from the side of the frame and tosses her headset on]

Hey what the hell is going on with Blackfire?

 

A great question, and one we don't really have the tools to answer yet. I suspect we may have to wait before we truly understand any of his mysterious game, but in the meantime I'm hearing word that Aaron Andrews is ready to head to the ring.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

 

 

Aaron Andrews - denim-less this week - emerges onto the stage in his red and white tights, ready for action. With a mic in one hand and some kind of clipboard in the other, he addresses the crowd...

 

Pineapple
You know, last week I kind of ruined Swoll's big moment. A huge match for him, and he was gracious enough to take it on the chin. Now, I've apologised to him privately, but that still leaves the thorny issue of Killer Shark, who I know is here tonight.

 

Pineapple

[Cheers from the crowd as Andrews casually walks down to the ring]

I issued a challenge last week, which he still hasn't agreed to by the way. So I'm here to get it in writing. You and me at The War To Settle The Score in a No DQ match. No easy ways out, no running, just me and you seeing who the better man actually is.

So - if you think you've got what it takes to drag your bruised behind through the curtain and down to the ring - I'd love for you to join me big man.

 

There's a long pause before someone's music - not Shark's - plays, and Titan appears on the ramp. It seems like the Shark has sent in a designated hitter to soften up his PPV opponent...

 

Pineapple

Pineapple

 


 

The match is a hard-fought affair, with Andrews subjected to the kind of punishment one might expect when going up against someone the size of Titan. The Ace bumps around his bigger opponent with great athleticism to sell his eventual comeback.

Surprisingly, Shark is nowhere to be seen as the hard-hitting match reaches it's Zenith. With a battered Aaron Andrews needing to deploy a flying cross body AND an Alpha Drive to finally put Titan down for the win. As the Ace's hand is raised in victory the commentary team receive word that Shark has signed a contract for the match at The War To Settle The Score, clearly satisfied with the damage Titan has done.

 

Winner: Aaron Andrews
Method: Pinfall
Time: 5:34

Quentin Queen comes out first in his gaudy purple and yellow tights and sleevless silk shirt, and appears slightly skittish. Or more skittish than usual, at least. Taylor meanwhile seems composed as he strides determinedly down to the ring.

At the bell, it becomes clear why as Queen bolts from the ring and proceeds to sprint away from Taylor, who gives chase. Eventually, they find their way back into the ring where Queen is thrown to the ropes, ducks a clothesline attempt and absolutely flattens the poorly-positioned referee standing on the other side of his opponent. A slow motion replay reveals that Queen clearly altered the path of his run to deliberately hit the ref, although in the aftermath he feigns ignorance.

Sensing an opportunity (or perhaps seeing his plan come together), Queen leaps to the outside of the ring again. JT spends a few moments checking on the now unconscious ref which gives his opponent just enough time to produce a velvet bag from under the ring, from which he produces a pair of brass knuckles that he slides onto his right hand. Taylor unwittingly slides out of the ring and is completed knocked out with a sucker punch that leaves him flat on the mats.

With the ref beginning to stir Quentin slides back into the ring and demands he begin counting JT out, which he duly does - albeit confusedly at first.

8...

9...

10!!!

Queen celebrates in the ring like he's just won a World Title while Taylor lies, still unconcious, at ringside.

 

Winner: Quentin Queen
Method: Count Out
Time: 3:54

We head back to the commentary desk...

 

Pineapple
I think someone needs to explain to Queen that a count out is typically considered a cheap win in this sport...

 

You say that, but come King of Kings all that matters is the win-loss record, not how you rack them up. And right now that's 4 wins to 1 loss for Quentin Queen: a record comparable to anyone else in the company.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
And historically speaking, by the end of March we normally have a good idea who the top 16 singles workers in the company are. That means only 5 weeks left for people to up their games, assuming we don't encounter any outliers this year.

 

Well up next we have a wrestler who definitively is not a singles competitor in Nick Booth versus a sometimes-member-of-the-tag-ranks in Benny Benson, who is still looking for revenge for his semi-fallen comrade Flying Jimmy Foxx. And if my earpiece is to be believed, we can here from them right now!
Pineapple

 

Pineapple Pineapple

 

We cut to a doctor's office backstage where a seemingly unconscious Flying Jimmy Foxx lays in a hospital bed. He appears to be hooked up to an IV and a heart rate monitor amongst other machines. At his side kneels Benny Benson. He appears to be in the middle of something like a prayer as we join him...

 

Pineapple
Our father who art in heaven, Halo'd be your game, the Kingdom come, thy will be done, et cetera et cetera...

Look, I just want to see if there's any way you could do my boy a solid here. He's all banged up and I don't know if he's even going to make it home tonight.

 

[The camera has pulled into a close up on Benson when another voice comes from off-camera]

Tell him that I went to Catholic school. And about the time I ran a car wash with the other kids to help fix Sister Anne's car.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Is that true?

 

[The camera pulls back to reveal Jimmy Foxx, with only one eye open, speaking out of the side of his mouth to try and maintain the illusion of ill health]

Hell yeah brother. St. Mary's
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Can you not do this? I feel weird trying to pull one over on... you know

 

If I do it, it's self-serving. I think that's a sin.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
You THINK? What happened to Catholic School?

 

I didn't say I paid attention. Look, just ask him if he can smite that muscle-head Booth tonight, alright? Hit him with that Old Testament stuff.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

[Benson's expression makes it clear he is profoundly uncomfortable, though his tone is conversational]

Alright so I'm gonna level with you big boss, we could do with a hand tonight. So, like, sorry for the deception and everything but we didn't think you'd go for it if we just came out and asked.

So, yeah. If you could maybe strike him down or something? Locusts in the pants, bad nosebleed, IBS. Whatever you got cooking up. I'm not gonna tell you how to do your job.

 

Benson goes to stand and Foxx gives him a look that implies he has forgotten something. It takes a moment, but finally realisation dawns on Benny's face and he kneels again.

 

Pineapple
Oh and sorry about all the swearing.

 

[Foxx gives Benson a "Keep going" gesture by circling his hand]

Pineapple

 

Pineapple
And that time I broke Poncho Wallace's BMX doing a sick trick off that ramp we made and then lying about it and saying a mail truck ran it over. Though I maintain the trick was indeed sick and therefore worth it.

 

[Nods sagely]

Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Alright, amen. Anything else?

 

[A voice from off-screen]

WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TWO? WHO LET YOU IN HERE!?
Pineapple

 

A balding gentleman in a white coat - possibly a doctor, or perhaps someone who enjoys carrying a stethoscope around his neck - rushes into shot.

 

[Leaps out of bed revealing he's actually wearing a hospital gown for some reason]

CHEESE IT, THE FEDS.

...OW MY RIBS
Pineapple

 

Benson yanks Foxx - who is clearly in actual pain and still suffering from his very real injuries - out of shot. The camera does a slow zoom on the thoroughly unimpressed stethoscope enthusiast and fades to black.

Moments later, Benson and Foxx skid to a halt on the entrance ramp, clearly jumping their cue as Benson's music doesn't hit until about 10 seconds later. Foxx pumps him up, slaps him on the back and generally gives him encouragement as he makes his way to the ring. But it's clear that both are intimidated by the muscular, scarred appearance of Nick Booth who stalks down the ramp with violence in his eyes.

The commentary team play up Booth's reputation as one of the toughest men in the business, a man who was "TOO VIOLENT" for the SWF, and Benny & The Foxx do a great job of selling his aura.

The match itself is your classic plucky face trying to stay out of the grasp of a bigger, stronger opponent kind of affair. With Benson gaining a few hope spots early to tease that he might actually be able to win this one. However, after running his opponent into the ring steps and then performing a sickening arm wrench around the turnbuckle, it is Booth who scores the win: catching a Benson cross body attempt, shifting him into a Fireman's Carry and then landing his Lake Michigan Plunge for the win.

 

Winner: Nick Booth
Method: Pinfall
Time: 9:41

As a dejected Benny Benson is helped from the ring by his tag partner the camera feed cuts to an interview set backstage, where T-Bone Bright and Human Arsenal are waiting in their ring gear...

 

Pineapple
Lot of people talking about records at the moment. They've got one eye on November already. But as someone who has won the biggest tournament in wrestling - and who has been accused of having divided attention in the past few weeks - I gotta tell you: I can't even think about the King of Kings right now.

In one week, I have the biggest opportunity of my career. A chance only a handful of people have ever had: to win the World Title. And no amount of messing with the match is going to stop me.

So while everyone else has the luxury of thinking 9 months in the future, I need to think about two Sundays from now in New Jersey. I need to have eyes in the back of my head for Wolf Hawkins. I need to find a way to overcome the odds and finish my journey to the title.

 

[Arsenal steps forward, his eyes on the camera]

You good, Bright?
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Don't worry, I got my head in the game.

 

Good. Because I may never have held THAT title, but I can promise you that the wearing the crown isn't any easier than chasing it. You need to find a way to thrive in pressure.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

[His mouth widens into a smile]

Pressure makes diamonds, right? You got anymore inspirational Instagram posts you wanna hit me with?

 

Alright, I'll see you out there, kid.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple

[Bright lingers for a moment as Arsenal walks off-screen, turning his eyes to the camera again]

Chord: I don't have to beat you tonight, but I will, just to show you how vulnerable you are. But in Jersey? There is no one and nothing that'll keep me from my destiny. Keep that belt warm for me.

 

87
Back at the commentary desk...

 

Pineapple
T-Bone Bright in determined mood there, but isn't he always?

 

He and Human Arsenal have the look of a makeshift team, having never actually tagged before, but if ever there was a wrestler who possessed the grit and enthusiasm necessary to overcome shortcomings in experience: T-Bone is it.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
But first, Devine Fortune have recruited the help of occasional ally Bradford Peverell in a bid to take another run at the tag team champions.

 

I'm not going to disparage them, but it does feel like maybe they should have gone to the bottom of the pile after losing at Malice In Wonderland.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Losing because of a numbers advantage that the so-called "Main Event" possess, to be clear.

 

Sure, but that doesn't mean they get to leapfrog The Elite, The American Cobras or any of the other fine tag teams here in TCW.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Indeed, though it stands to reason that a loss here will see Devine Fortune plummet to the bottom of the pecking order. A last chance for them, perhaps? Let's find out...

 

Pineapple

 


 

With the numbers advantage no longer a factor, Devine Fortune and Peverell look great here. Peverell's boxing-style offence is an engaging contrast to Devine Fortune's more high-flying offence while the Main Event are typically excellent at bumping for their opponents to make them look good.

Especially impressive in that regard is Freddy Huggins, who is the victim of some snappy tandem offence leading up to the finish which sees him almost over-sell a knockout punch from Peverell before being floored by a Stroke of Luck from Chance and finally finished with a frog splash from Darryl Devine.

 

Winner: Bradford Peverell & Devine Fortune (Bradford Peverell)
Method: Pinfall
Time: 9:46
64

 

Pineapple

 


 

Jay Chord and Chris Flynn - who seems to be earning a reputation as Chord's right-hand man now - strike a composed image as the enter together, Chord in his typical blue trunks and white boots, Flynn in a red and white singlet reminiscent of the Canadian flag. However, that composure doesn't last long once the bell rings.

Chord is unwilling to start the match against his opponent for the PPV and instead sends Flynn in to the fray, and despite being closer in size to his opponent the difference is still far too great as Bright opens up commanding control of the match with a series of running moves that leave Flynn and Chord regrouping outside the ring.

Next up is Arsenal, who Flynn attempts to chain wrestle with unimpressive results. The ringside mics pick up repeated shouts of "You're a long way from the high school wrestling team, junior!" and other insults to that affect. Eventually, Chord is forced into action and the match ramps up with Bright selling a neck injury after missing a tackle in the corner and slamming his shoulder into the turnbuckle. This gives Flynn and Chord their best opportunity to end the match when some miscommunication between Arsenal and Bright compounds the injury and sees Chord slap a dragon sleeper on his opponent in search of a submission.

Arsenal is able to break the hold however, and the final sequence of the match sees Bright hit his trademark corner tackle on Chord - who rolls out of the ring, before hitting a lariat on the onrushing Flynn as Arsenal makes a blind tag. Arsenal hits the Ammo Dump on a dazed Flynn while Bright engages Chord on the outside to give them a big pinfall win!

 

Winner: T-Bone Bright & Human Arsenal (Human Arsenal)
Method: Pinfall
Time: 15:14
79

 

A furious Jay Chord storms ahead of Chris Flynn - who is helped from the ring by other staff - while the cameras return to the commentary team...

 

Pineapple
Jay Chord: unhappy!

 

Always a moment to cherish.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
And that's a marker for T-Bone Bright: he said he was going to win, and he did. The momentum going into The War To Settle The Score is now surely with the challenger.

 

And perhaps an even bigger one for Human Arsenal. A big result for him and - if I'm hearing the chatter in my earpiece right - Chord is already making noise backstage about wanting Arsenal in a singles match next week.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Sounds like the champ has no intention of resting up the week before a big show. Some would call that rash.

 

Indeed, Jasmine.

Well folks, we're only one week away from The War To Settle The Score in New Jersey and things are really starting to heat up around here. I've been Shawn Doakes, on behalf of myself and my broadcast colleagues - Jasmine Saunders and Jason Azaria - thank you for joining us on Total Wrestling and don't you dare miss us next Tuesday!

Two more shows in February to go in February. I'm really enjoying seeing how everyone else would approach what I think is TCW's primary goal in TWIX: getting the youth in the midcard fully established. Based on their predictions that is. I know there are a tonne of TCW diaries at the moment too and it's killing me not looking at what other people are doing!

After a brief, hastily-edited intro sequence, the debut episode of TCW's flagship (in reality: only) YouTube series opens with Seth Whitehead and Jaylon Martins staring gormlessly into the camera of a portrait ratio'd livestream, clearly from a phone, as a series of react emojis fly past their faces.

 

Pineapple
Alright, we're live. Tap those screens to shown us some love and if you are gonna donate remember not to declare it or, like, tell anyone because I don't think we're allowed to monetise this.

 

Holy sh... smokes. We got 400 people watching this already dude.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Yeah man. We're mainstream now.

 

[Seth grins sheepishly]

TokeKing22 wants to know what this show is going to be.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Alright, chill, man. Jesus. Give us a second to, like, establish an ambience.

 

So basically we got caught doing dumb videos at TV a few weeks ago and RDJ gave us a choice of either throwing our phones in a river or figuring out how to turn the stuff we film with our friends into that hashtag content, babeeeeey.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Yeah, so, like, obviously we still have our phones. So you know we're on that short-form video GRINDSET.

Pineapple
So this is just the intro to say what's up to all our fans. We're gonna hit play on this thing in a minute and you watch us in a professional environment.

You got anything else you wanna say to the people, Seth?

 

Just like, be kind, you know? Downloading a crack for Adobe Premiere was a lot of work.

Oh and also: shout out Adobe. If you wanna hook your boy up with a license or just some cool shit holla at me.
Pineapple

 

Pineapple
Alright, let's get into it then.

 

Sorry for cursing. Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Pineapple

 

An exerpt from the video follows, which features Jaylon Martins and Seth Whitehead trying to get The Masked Mauler - who is in his full leather mask as always - and Dominic Rizzoli to read difficult words. It's more interesting than it sounds. They're sat on wheeled cargo crates backstage; aside from his mask Mauler is wearing a Steely Dan t-shirt and basketball shorts, Rizzoli is in a stringer, Martins has his dreads bound up in a tight and high ponytail with a pink hairband and Seth has somehow found a full branded Taco Bell tracksuit that he has on.

The initial word is "TZATZIKI"
