infinitywpi Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Where sometimes we'd swear we were two different people -- one booking, one doing business. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! We had forgotten that we had decided to let Angel de Mexico go... which caused the Tidal Tag Titles to be vacated... which kinda ruined our plans for them. Whoopsie. So... time for a new plan. September 2012, week 1, Sunday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from the Snake Pit on Los Desportes Hoy We open with Amazing FireFly challenging Alicia to a title match (what the heck, it worked so well in Puerto Rico, and they're barely over there). (B) Xtreme Ladder Match Josh Jones(c) def. Jeremiah Moose in thirteen minutes, as Moose realizes that, as usual, he's going to our jobber... again. (D) Backstage, Super Sonic is discussing how Angel ran away when he heard the Gilberts were coming and Sonic, well, needs a new partner. It turns out he's talking to Phoenix, who accepts his proposal to team tonight (D-) Tidal Tag Title Match Sonic & Phoenix def. Blue Shift in seven minutes in a quick waste of time (D) Main Event Championship Match Alicia Stong(c) def. Amazing FireFly in ninteen minutes of minor dissapointment. Don't get me wrong, it was okay, but we hoped for at least a c+, if not B-. (C) Show rating: C-, 0.36 TV Sadly, we had to find some way to save money... and we had a chance to do it, but... it meant cutting loose a Zone original. Pee-Wee was costing us over a thousand dollars a show. A replacement ref would save us... well, quite a bit. If we could find someone half the price, that's four grand a month saved. Speaking of money... September 2012, week 2, Thursday Coastal Tour From the sold out National Arena, Tijuana Phoenix I comes out to talk about how he's half of the Tidal Tag Champs now, and how he's not scared of the Gilberts... boom boom clap boom boom clap... Joe is here, and he says tonight he's going to teach Phoenix that he -should- be scared. (E+) Opening Match Soul Taker def. Air Borne in eleven minutes (D) Hype video for Purpura getting a rematch against Josh Jones (D-) Xtreme Title Match Josh Jones(c) def. El Beastia Purpura in fifteen minutes, doing... passably, despite not clicking. We forgot that. (D) Hype for the main event (E) Main Event Joe Gilbert def. Phoenix I in fourteen minutes with a Slap Shot (D) Show rating: D Well... we had been hoping for a bit more than that, given we were in Mexico. Still, with the sellout crowd and keeping worker costs down, we had gone from losing nine grand for the month to making nine grand for the month. So we just had to balance things right... On the next Coastal Zone: ... honestly, I have no idea. I'll work on it. Hey, I've got all of September to figure out something for All Hallow's Zone...

eayragt Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I disapear for a week - and the Zone's all gone and changed on me! Although with the Gilberts and Moose back, it's got a 2005 feel about it - and you're seven years ahead of that! When I saw the length of Remus's contract, I thought that he was in for a major push and was going to take the title off Idol. He's been winning matches since - but surely he's going to be the one to end Strong's reign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitywpi Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Out with the old, in with the new! What do you mean, we're in with the old, too? Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Interesting. Apparently we've become friends with Soul Taker. Huh. Don't we get a say in this? No? Oh, well. The man gets a job for life then. Goodbye, Pee-Wee. Take nine months off. We've got someone new as a ref... Welcome to Javier Brooke, who started reffing just last year... but who is not only a competent ref, but his mic skills, acting skills, and natural charisma was off the chizz-arts. So... we had a plan. September 2012, week 2, Sunday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from the Snake Pit on Los Desportes Hoy We open with no Pee-Wee in the ring, and out comes Javier Brooke, announcing that he's living his dream... he recently won control of the Zone in a poker game with Cliff Anderson (who sells the angle on commentary), so not only is he in charge backstage, he's taking charge in the ring as well (E+) Xtreme Opening Match Josh Jones(c) def. Fearless Blue in eight minutes with the Canadian Backdrop. Which we imagine is something like a reverse Canadian Destroyer. (D+) Out comes Harry Wilson, making an arguement for a title match tonight. Javier stops him, asks him a few pointed questions, and decides to grant him the match (E+) Championship Match Alicia Strong(c) def. Harry Wilson in fifteen minutes in a surprising good match (C) As Alicia is leaving, out comes Snap Dragon, asking the new boss for a shot as well. Alicia protests, but Javier shows he's been a fan of the Zone by citing several of Snap Dragon's acomplishments and says he deserves a shot... is this guy power-mad or a fan? (D+) Main Event Championship Match Alicia Strong(c) def. Snap Dragon in sixteen minutes via Strong STF (Let's face it, any move is a Strong move if needed) (C+) Final rating: C-, 0.37 TV There's a character not seen lately... a ref who is also owner who is also a fan. And also a gambler. And possibly a psychotic putz. And he saves us seven hundred bucks a show, eight shows a month, that's... over five grand a month saved. Plus he's good for angles. Interesting note: Babes of Sin City was selling out the Snake Pit for their monthly show. Good for them. September 2012, week 3, Thursday Coastal Tour... quickie style! Somewhere in Puerto Rico Javier is upset that someone stole his wallet and debates if the Zone will ever come back (E) Geoff Borne def. Ultimo Soetsu in ten minutes (F+) Hype for the Gilberts (E+) William Crash def. Zeshin Makioka in ten minutes (E) Cal Sanders def. Dolphino in ten minutes (E+) Hype for Alicia (D-) Jesse Gilbert def. Antonio with a Slap Shot in ten minutes (D-) Show rating: E+. Well, it'll hold us steady. So much for the idea we can use the new people on the show and still get more popular... So, how did the Zone do at El Dia National De Lucha? Well, we didn't have a show. But how did our alumni do? MPWF: Super Sonic won the opening match, Casino was on the winning side of a six-man, and Fire Fly and Machine were on a team that beat a team with Snap Dragon. OLLIE: El Leon lost the semi-main, Angel de Mexico won the main to retain the Campeon de Universal OLLIE title. SOTBPW: Um... Ultimate Phoenix won a match... otherwise, SOTBPW doesn't have any Zoners on the roster. On the next Coastal Zone: Time to start up some feuds. Who wants to take down the rookie phenom Josh Jones? Who wants the CZCW Title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitywpi Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 The buildup to All Hallow's Zone begins here! Welcome to the Coastal Zone! September 2012, week 3, Sunday Welcome to the Coastal Zone From the sold-out Snake Pit on Los Desportes Hoy Dark match: Super Sonic def. Dolphino in six minutes (E+) We open with Spanish Superfly asking for a title match from Javier. Then Rod Remus asks for one. And FireFly is out asking for another. Javier says he's had to promise Alicia that she'll have no more than one defense a show... but as these are some of the Zone's best, well, tonight'll be a three-way contendership match, winner gets Alicia at All Hallow's Zone (C+) Opening Tag Match Daredevil Aero & Extreme Deluxe def. Blue Shift in ten minutes when Aero pins Blue (D) Afterwards, Sonic runs into Aero backstage and comments on his choice of partners. Aero gets in Sonic's face, and we wind up with them meeting next week (D-) Hype interviews from the main eventers: FireFly, Remus, Superfly (B-, B, B). Main Event Triple Threat FireFly, Remus, and SuperFly go to a thirty-minute time limit draw. (C) Show rating: C-, 0.39 TV -- new record! Okay, so, bulldung ending there. We still weren't sure who we wanted to face Alicia. We did sign Marc Speed to a new contract tho. On the next Coastal Zone: We change things up a bit, and do Coastal Tour first in the post, just 'cause it's less anticlimactic that way. Who will face Alicia for the CZCW Title at the end of October? Will Super Sonic be able to concentrate on his upcoming match with the Gilberts, or get distracted by his old partner? And are we forgetting a few matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinitywpi Posted June 16, 2007 Author Share Posted June 16, 2007 What do you mean, every other promotion has at least a million bucks in the bank? Crap. We should make some money, huh? Welcome to the Coastal Zone! September 2012, week 4, Thursday Coastal Tour Tiujana, as we need more money... again. Opening ProAm Match Soul Taker & Ultimo Soetsu def. Snap Dragon & Air Borne in ten minutes when Borne taps out to Taker's Life Force Drain (C-). Hype for Sonic vs Aero on Sunday (E) Tidal Booking! Joe Gilbert def. El Beastia Purpura in eight minutes with a Slap Shot (D) Spanish Superfly def. Jessie Gilbert in thirteen minutes with a Spanish Superfly Splash (C-) Announce/hype Sunday's main event: Alicia Strong and Amazing FireFly vs Rod Remus and Spanish Superfly (B+) Tidal Booking Main Event The Gilbert Brothers def. Purpura & Superfly in fourteen minutes after a Slap Shot on Purpura (C) Show rating: C We now had plenty of money -- that last one realy brought in the dough (something like $15k in profit). Tidal booking for a while it would be... and if the gates stayed that good, we could do a Mexican show and three Puerto Rican shows and not have a problem. September 2012, week 4, Sunday Welcome to the Coastal Zone From the sold-out Snake Pit on Los Desportes Hoy Backstage, the participants of our main event mob Javier, asking why they're being forced to team up. Javier says it's simple... whoever gets the pinfall gets the contendership. And if it's Alicia, she gets to pick anyone in the Zone. They all seem happy and scheming about that, until Javier also says that anyone turning on their partner will be suspended. (B-) Opening Match Super Sonic def. Daredevil Aero in eleven minutes with a Redneck Hurricanrana (D-). The two shake hands after (E+) Filler Match Harry Wilson def. Jeremiah Moose in ten minutes via pinfall (D-) Hype for the main event (B) Main Event Tag Remus & Superfly def. FireFly & Strong in twenty-three minutes with Remus getting a huge submission victory over Alicia herself in a omewhat dissapointing match (C) Show rating: C-, 0.36 TV .... oh, c'mon! A C? You guys are the best we have, the heat was strong, and you give us a C? My God, we missed Mayan Idol... Now, we were starting to get worried. Last time we threw our main eventers into a tag match, we got a surprise B- out of it. It would have been nice to have a C+, at least. On the next Coastal Zone: Who's afraid of Canadians? And will we manage a better main event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangit, we need to find a way to get popular over there... somehow. We had a hunch, but we couldn't try it right now... so do we keep trying this for a few months, or... what? One change we could make right now... Coastal Tour? Done. Tidal Booking? On. And for a half-hour only. Screw this 'get the new guys trained' thing... we needed popularity if we were going to hit Cult by the end of the year. Which... two and a half months... probably not gonna happen...

October 2012, week 3, Thursday Tidal Booking National Arena, Tijuana. Nearly sold out. Just classic Tidal Booking here, as Harry Wilson beats Marc Speed, Josh Jones beats Antonio, the two sides meet up, argue, and have a tag match where Jones and Speed beat Wilson and Antonio, but not before Wilson challenges Jones to an Xtreme Title Match at All Hallow's Zone (D, D+, E, D+) Show rating: D.

Welcome to the Coastal Zone! We had been expecting about five hundred more people than actually showed up for All Hallow's Zone... we'd've been better off using the Grissom Ballroom again. Oh, well, it's only money... we can always hold more sub-par shows and hope the TV show keeps us popular enough to do so. How could that possibly go wrong? October 2012, week 4, Thursday Tidal Booking Puerto Rican Gym Aero beats Ice, Sonic gets beaten by Cal Sanders after a pull of the tights, they argue, the Backyarders win the final match to retain their titles (E, E+, F+, E+).

October 2012, week 4, Sunday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from the Palacio de Lucha on Los Desportes Hoy We open with Phoenix and Purpura in the ring, declaring a new day for the New Mexican Revolution, and that from now on, they will be the final word on Lucha Libre in the Zone. Apparently, FireFly and Superfly take issue with this, as nobody speaks for them but them. We'll have a match tonight... and yes, we know it's one-sided. (C-) Opening Match Jesse Gilbert def.

He failed a steroid test. We... honestly weren't sure what to do with him. We currently weren't allowed to sign or resign steroid users, but that only applied for the next few months, so his contract should be safe... but should we suspend him? Well, we had fourteen days to decide... So, to recap: We need money. We have a little. We need popularity. We have a little, depending on where you go. So, let's do something completely stupid and hope it's so insane, it's brilliant. On the next Coastal Zone: 14 days. 14 shows. It's CZCW World Tour 2012! Well... the first half of it, anyway.

The decision to not suspend Snap Dragon hadn't been easy... but he was also working for NYCW and MPWF, and neither of them had some anything about it, so we figured we wouldn't get noticed. And so, that brings us to... CZCW Thanksgiving November 2012, week 3, Thursday From the sold-out Grissom Auditorium .... WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT'S A HALF-HOUR SHOW?????????? Crap. Well, in a way, that's useful... we don't have to fill the rest of the show. So, we keep this slam-bang simple... We open with a Remus/Stone hype video recapping how we got here (B+) Main Event Tag Rod Remus & Spanish Superfly def. Alicia Strong & Harry Wilson in twenty-two minutes. Wilson takes it to Superfly outside the ring with a chair, as he can't be DQ'd since he's not the legal man, but he can't get back to the ring to stop Remus from locking in the Remus Clutch on Strong and getting the tap-out (C) We quickly announce Wilson vs Superfly at Year In Review (D+) Show rating: C+ Sadly, our World Tour failed in it's goal of making us look good enough for an American TV show.

infinitywpi Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 Where we haven't made a mistake this big in a long, long time: Welcome to the Coastal Zone! We had settled into a nice routine, building up in Puerto Rico (which made sense, as it was a nice place to blend American and Mexican wrestling, with a crowd that was fairly open to both... but was more American-leaning than the Southwest, so it made a good case towards the rest of the country) and then hyping with our TV show to build up to our big shows. How could we possibly screw this up? November 2012, week 4, Saturday CZCW PR Opening Match Extreme Deluxe def. Antonio in eight minutes (E) Hype for Josh Jones vs Soul Taker (E-) The Gilberts hype their title shot at YIR (E+) Main Event The Gilberts def. Air Borne and Beastia Purpura via Slap Shot (D-) Show rating: D- People currently upset: Alicia, FireFly, Antonio, Blue, Wilson, Moose, Joe, Phoenix, Dragon, Taker, Superfly, Soetsu, Crash. Well, that's getting better. Do we have a shot at making them all happy by the end of the year? November 2012, week 4, Sunday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from the Palacio de Lucha on Los Desportes Hoy We open with Soul Taker promising to take the Xtreme Title at Year In Review (C-) Opening Tag Match Blue Shift def.

Remus, Taker & Superfly in twenty-five minutes when Wilson pulls the tights on Superfly while everyone else bawls outside the ring (C) Show rating: C-, 0.31 TV??? Uhoh. We decided not to renew William Crash's contract. Zenshin Makioka began to worry. And so did we. Due to a miscalculation, Welcome to the Coastal Zone came to an end at the begining of December, not the end. Um.... whooops. Crud. On the next Coastal Zone: Someone's mimicing the Coastal Zone, and doing better than we were... and, will the search for money cause us to burn out?

infinitywpi Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 So we took a weekend off. So sue us. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! We had competition. INSPIRE was turning into the Zone, only better. Their latest tour included Masked Cougar, Plague, and Insane Machine... and was putting out C/C+ shows on a regular basis. We... weren't. December 2012, week 1, Friday CZCW PR Between hype for Wilson/Superfly and Jones/Taker, (E,E-) we have Alicia retain over Phoenix I in twenty-one minutes (C-). Show rating: C-. We decided we needed to put on a few shows in the meantime, so CZCW 2012 Wrap Up was scheduled for Sundays... we'd use them to burn out Northern Mexico, and run YiR in the Southwest USA to maximize profits. Currently unhappy: FireFly, Aero, Purpura, Moose, Gilberts, Phoenix, Simon, Dragon. The list is getting smaller! And come to think of it, havin gno TV show means we'll be makign more money, so maybe putting ourselves back on the Internet isn't a bad idea... December 2012, week 1, Sunday CZCW 2012 Wrap Up From the sold-out National Arena, Tijuana... live on the Internet! Opening Six-Man Match The Gilberts & Jeremiah Moose def.

Nightshadeex Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 I think you should try a touring schedule. Could be an interesting change of pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infinitywpi Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 In Mourning. Welcome to the Coastal Zone. I don't know how, when, why it happened. I just know it happened. As a wrestling fan, and as a family man, I don't believe I'll ever understand the 'why'. There but for the grace of god go I, for if even the strongest of us can lose control, what else can we hope for? December 2012, week 2, Friday CZCW PR We open with a hype video for Jones vs Taker (E-) and move into a triple threat match, where Taker defeats FireFly and Phoenix because those two never get on the same page (C-) which leads into announcing FireFly vs Phoenix at YiR (E). Show rating: D+ SWF had fallen on hard times the last few years, sure... but this? This was a slap in the face. They had recently been turned down for negotiations with a man they hoped would help rebuild their image... "Psyche Out" Remmy Skye. When Remmy F'in Skye says he won't take pot money from you because it'll hurt his image working for someone of your size, that's -low-.
