Welcome to CZCW Wave of Fury! August 2013, week 2, Thursday Gorski Ballroom, Southwest USA Opening Match Alicia Strong & Raku Makuda vs El Beastia Purpura, Soul Taker, & Crusher Ichihara in fifteen minutes when the girls simply persevered to the point where Alicia took out Crusher and Taker with a plancha, leading to Raku getting the pin on Purpura (C-) Josh Jones hypes the title unification match (C) Filler Match Marc Speed def. Harry Wilson in thirteen minutes via DQ when Wilson goes low one too many times and Javier catches him. (D) -Real- Filler Match Cal Sanders, Too Hot, & Simon Ice def.

On the next Coastal Zone: Okay, so the card was predictable... but the ending wasn't. So what're we going to do about it?

[QUOTE=infinitywpi;302404] On the next Coastal Zone: Okay, so the card was predictable... but the ending wasn't. So what're we going to do about it?[/QUOTE] I wouldn't say predictable. Let's just say great minds think alike? Or I'm a good guesser? ;) Anyway, great card. Wow Fearless Blue close to being B-club eligible huh? Cool.

[theunholyicon]

Sweet show. I can't believe you still have the Backyarders... Anyways, bring back Plague! Great as always.

[infinitywpi]

Where we don't just dabble in the cliche... we revel in it. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Okay, so, yeah. The whole 'steal the title' thing has been done before. But this time we had someone steal -two- titles. So that's different... right? The important thing to remember was that we didn't have another big show until All Hallow's Zone at the end of October... roughly ten weeks, give or take, until the next big show. So were we going to drag things out, or not? August 2013, week 3, Thursday CZCW Puerto Rican Tour Puerto Rican Power's Gym (SOLD OUT) We open with Javier Brook calling Rod Remus out to the ring. Remus brings with him the two CZCW titles. Javier tells Remus that he should be fired for theft... but Remus has talent, he's entertaining, so Javier's willing to cut him a deal. There is going to be... a tournament! Tonight, four men will battle in singles matches, the winners will face off for the CZCW Championship in two weeks. The week after that, four men will face off, with the winners meeting for the CZCW Xtreme Title two weeks later. And after that, if the titles still belong to any combination of former champions, they'll have the unification match. And if Rod gives back the titles... he'll be allowed to compete tonight. If not... he's fired, and Javier will take the cost of new titles out of his last check. Remus thinks about it... and drops the titles at Javier's feet. (D-) Tournament Match #1 Josh Jones def. Amazing FireFly in nineteen minutes as Jones continues to show why he got the title in the first place (C) Matches announced and hyped for the rest of the tournament: Raku Makuda vs Angel de Mexico (E) and Alicia Strong vs Fearless Blue (E) Tournament Match #2 Main Event Rod Remus def. Soul Taker in twenty-two minutes of not quite as good as it should have been action (C-) Show rating: C- Yeah, we're stacking the deck a bit, but what the heck... it might work. And it gave us a plan for the next four weeks... would take us halfway through to All Hallow's Eve, at least. And it also means we're posting two shows per post since they'll go fast. August 2013, week 4, Thursday CZCW Puerto Rican Tour Puerto Rican Power's Gym Opening Tidal Tag Title Match Backyarders(c) def. Dolphino & El Beastia Purpura in twelve minutes (D-) We hype the two matches for the Xtreme side of the tournament (E) Random Match Amazing FireFly def.

Live on Los Desportes Hoy!

Where history repeats itse... wait, did we use that one already? Okay, let's try again. Where history repeats repeating itself... Welcome to the Coastal Zone! So, yeap, we got our TV show back. We figured we'd saved up enough money to last for a while... and we kinda missed checking the ratings for the show each week. September 2013, week 1, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from the Grissom Auditorium, Southwest USA We open with dueling promos, first from Josh Jones (saying he still considers himself champ; tonight, he's not fighting to win the title, he's fighting to defend it)(C-) and then from Rod Remus, saying that titles go to those who get the oppertunity to win them. He's made this oppertunity, and now it's his time to win (B-). Warm-Up Tag Match Alicia Strong & Raku Makuda def. Angel de Mexico and Fearless Blue in seventeen minutes when Blue refuses to tag in, yelling about how he hasn't forgotten the Revolution screwing over his Backyarder 'brothers'. This lets Raku drop Angel on his head with a suplex and pin him (C-) Hype the matches for next week: Alicia vs Blue (C-) and Raku vs Angel (C-) CZCW Title Match Josh Jones def. Rod Remus in twenty-four minutes to regain his CZCW Title (B-) Show rating: C+, 0.34 TV. And now, a special segment: [b]CZCW Originals: Where are they now?[/b] Citizen X: Currently works for SWF, DAVE, and 4C. He is currently the DAVE Unified Champion and one half of the DAVE Tag Team Champions with Jay Darkness. He is also a former two-time 4C Champion and SWF North American Champion. Plague: Black Eagle is currently on a written contract with OLLIE. He has held gold in six promotions: CZCW, DAVE, MPWF, MHW, BHOTWG, and WLW. Donnie J: Part of the NYCW midcard. Jimmy P: Unemployed. His last match outside of American Independant cards was CZCW Year In Review 2007. Currently hates William Peers due to punishment for not showing up on time. Flyin' Jimmy Foxx: Unemployed. Hasn't worked for a major promotion since the Coastal Tour in July 2010. Frankie Perez: Works for MAW, NYCW, and SWF. Current NYCW Empire Champion. Turned out a B+ match in a title shot against SWF Champion Eric Eisen this week. Fox Mask: TCW Midcarder. Three-time TCW All Action Champion. Has had one match below a C+ all year, and that involved Giant Tana, so you can hardly blame him. Insane Machine: Works for MPWF in between INSPIRE tours. Current MPWF Tag Champ with Arthur Dexter Bradley. Matt Sparrow: TCW Midcarder. Currently on his ninth All Action Title reign. Pee-Wee Germain: Unemployed. Remmy Skye: Recently jumped from DAVE to 4C. Snap Dragon: Works for MPWF and NYCW. Current MPWF Champeon de Lucha. Ultimate Phoenix: SOTBPW midcarder.

[davebiggs]

Have you thought about bring back some of the guys that are free agents? oh and I got VERY HAPPY when I saw you brought this back, As long as you keep it up i will too.:cool:

[infinitywpi]

Where life is a constant struggle to stay fresh... especially with a limited pool of people to talk to. Welcome to the Coastal Zone... provided you have B- basics and C resilience, that is... Yeah, still trying to find people who a) meet our criteria and b) don't hate us. Let's just say we're making sure we re-sign people... well, except Burning EXILE. Waste of money... September 2013, week 2, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from Puerto Rican Power's Gym in Puerto Rico (SOLD OUT) We start backstage, with Ref/kayfabe owner Javier Brook having an aruement with commentator/real owner Cliff Anderson. Apparently there's some discussion about the future of the Zone (E+). Xtreme Tournament Match #1 Angel de Mexico def. Raku Makuda in nineteen minutes by nearly pantsing Raku during a rollup (C-) Backstage, Fearless Blue talks about what an honor it is to be in the ring facing Alicia and competing for the Xtreme Title (D-) Filler Match Marc Speed pretty much squashes Cal Sanders with a Speedball in five minutes (D) Alicia talks about the match tonight, basic saying "Hey... it's freakin' Fearless Blue. It'll be fun... but not challenging." (D-) Xtreme Tournament Match #2 Fearless Blue def. Alicia Strong in eighteen minutes when Angel de Mexico and Crusher Ichihara run in... and hit Blue, giving him the disqualification win. The two taunt Alicia on the way out of the arena. (D+) Show rating: D, 0.31 TV. Well, that was a .... letdown. So maybe Blue's C+ match earlier was a fluke? It's a pity we can't call an audible during a match based on how well it's going... On the next Coastal Zone: Maybe we need to shake things up a bit...

[infinitywpi]

Yeah, sometimes, we get burned on new ideas... but that doesn't keep us away from fire. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Before our show, let's do a quick look at the power players in the world of wrestling right now. There are currently two Global promotions and four National promotions. Of the National promotions, three (BHOTWG, INSPIRE, and PGHW) are Japanese and don't worry us too much. The other, however, is SOTBPW, and they've caused problems for us in Mexico... mainly due to stealing Ultimate Pheonix away onto a written contract. They also have most of the high-value luchadores including Axxis Jr, Gino Montero, Champagne Lover, an Tijuana Vampire. The two global promotions can also cause problems for us. NOTBPW, as usual, is headed up by the Stone Family. They also control most of the technical workers in North America, and a number of excellent fliers, including Jacob Jett, Lee Rivera, and Angry Gilmore. TCW is a more well-rounded promotion, but they have The Bumpfholes and American Elemental on their roster, as well as several former Zoners, including Fox Mask, Matt Sparrow, and Hugh de Aske. Dumb written contracts, keeping us from having really good people on the roster... September 2013, week 3, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from Puerto Rican Power's Gym, Puerto Rico (SOLD OUT) Apparently, last week's power struggle has resulted in some changes. On the commentary spot for tonight is Javier Brook, and in the ref spot... Pee-Wee Germaine. Opening Match Donnie J def. Harry Wilson in ten minutes in his return match (D). Afterwards, Donnie tells us he's been away too long, and issues an open challenge to anyone who things they can take on a Zone Original (D) Tidal Tag Titles Amazing FireFly & El Beastia Purpura def. The Backyarders in thirteen minutes (E+). Gah, what a stinker... Angel de Mexico talks up the main event. Tonight, the New Mexican Revolution has regained the Tidal Tag Titles they were cheated out of, and now, he'll take back the Xtreme Title that was stolen from them (D-) Xtreme Title Ladder Match Fearless Blue def. Angel de Mexico in nineteen minutes to become the new CZCW Xtreme Champion after a great effort, but it turns out these two don't click at all... and I had a feeling we knew that already... (D) Show rating: D, 0.30 TV As soon as we switched to TV, we started losing some of the quality of our matches. And ratings kept going down. As much as we wanted to try and make Cult, this wasn't the way to do it... we needed to decide on a new plan, and quickly. Oh, and Burning Hammer of the Wrestling Gods gets a new head booker... Haruki Kudo. That could be interesting. On the next Coastal Zone: Will TV kill us?

[infinitywpi]

Nobody expects the Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Fear and Unexpectedness are our two weapons! Fear, unexpectedness, and random jobbers are our two... three, our three weapons. Fear, unexpectedness, random jobbers, and overpushing are our three... four.. among, among our weapons are... right, I'll just leave and come back then... No big news update today. September 2013, week 4, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Like from the Gorski Ballroom, Southwest USA (3,488) We open with a replay of Donnie J's open challenge, and tonight, Too Hot accepts that challenge (E+) Opening Match Donnie J def. Too Hot in seven minutes in a bit of a squash (D+) Soul Taker comes out... wait for it... okay, he's in the ring... wait... okay, the entry ceremony is over. He wants Fearless Blue in a lucha match tonight to reclaim the Xtreme Title for the revolution. Blue says he's up for it. (D-) Filler Match Marc Speed def. Raku Makuda in fourteen minutes in an okay match, despite not clicking (C-) After the match, Donnie J offers Marc a handshake, and the two discuss the old days... and how they're both former Tidal Tag Champs. They both want singles careers... but maybe one more tag reign for both of them would be nice... (D) Main Event Xtreme Lucha Match Fearless Blue def. Soul Taker in eighteen minutes via a fluke win after a roll-up (C-) Show rating: D+, 0.31 TV Maybe we should consider going back to using our expensive talent again... constantly... Canadian announcer Roger Rodgers has died from a drug overdose. You never see an announcer's death coming... also dying this week, Torajiro Sekozawa, former SAISHO worker who had been unemployed for over a year. They are the first deaths for the wrestling industry since this dynasty began. October 2013, week 1, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from Puerto Rican Power's Gym, Puerto Rico (SOLD OUT) Opening Match The Backyarders (Aero, Sonic, & Deluxe) def. Antonio, Dolphino, & Ultimo in six minutes of snores (E+) Rod Remus comes out, and he feels cheated... he wants another shot at Josh Jones. Josh comes out and accepts, saying "How many times can I beat you? At least one more." (D+) Tidal Booking Marc Speed def. El Beastia Purpura in nine minutes of meh (D) Tidal Booking Donnie J def. Amazing FireFly usingg the ropes for leverage at the eleven-minute mark (D+) We announce The Originals vs The New Mexican Revolution for All Hallow's Zone (E+) CZCW Title Match Josh Jones(c) def. Rod Remus via DQ as Remus ignores Pee-Wee's demands he stop using illegal holds at the twelve-minute mark. (C) The two continue to brawl afterwards, leaving Javier to get off his duff and tell them they'll meet at All Hallow's Zone with a gimmick to be determined... but the loser gets no more shots at the winner as long as they hold the title (D) Show rating: D+, 0.26 TV???? On the next Coastal Zone: Did we figure out why our ratings are tanking?

[infinitywpi]

Okay, wow, television really doesn't like us... we're not even broadcast in the same areas as th eonly other wrestling show on Thursdays, so what the heck's going on? Anyway, Aero retracted his index finger in that six-man match... it shouldn't be too bad. Let's face it, you can't tell when he's being crappier than usual anyway. He'd heal before the next show, so no harm down. October 2013, week 2, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from Peurto Rican Power's Gym, Puerto Rico (SOLD OUT) We open with one-half of the Tidal Tag Champs, Amazing FireFly, challenging Josh Jones as we continue the 'New Mexican Revolution want the title' storyline. Jones, of course, accepts (D-) Random(?) Tag Match Alicia Strong & Rod Remus def. Angel de Mexico & Soul Taker in twenty-seven minutes when Remus forces Angel to submit to the Remus Stretch(C) We announce the reason for that last match: At All Hallow's Zone, it'll be Strong, Angel, and Taker... in a four-way match with Fearless Blue for the Xtreme Title (E+) Main Event Championship Match Josh Jones def.

Bonus Quiz time! Can you name the participants of the three title matches that will occur at Year In Review?

[D-Lyrium]

Tidal Tag Titles: The Originals vs. The Backyarders Xtreme Title: Soul Taker vs. Fearless Blue CZCW Championship: Josh Jones vs. Angel de Mexico (who never did get a rematch when Remus ruined their title match the first time and stole the belt). Although part of me wants Angel to be replaced by El Beastia de Purpura, just because The Purple One is pretty much the only member of NMR to not have a title shot yet.

[infinitywpi]

Now that's what we call a show! Welcome to the Coastal Zone! October 2013, week 4, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from the National Arena, Tijuana, Mexico (SOLD OUT) We open with a Classic Zone Moment, as Rod Remus comes out to the ring, full of attitude and anger, and says that he can't challenge for the CZCW Title anymore... so tonight, he wants the Xtreme Title. He demands Soul Taker come out, and out comes... Simon Ice? Whoopsie. That doesn't go over well with the Mexican crowd, and Rod tries to play it straight... unfortunately, Simon's mic skills aren't up to the task of standing up to him (E+) Opening Match Raku Makuda def. Fearless Blue in thirteen minutes (D) We announce next week's main event: Alicia Strong vs Angel de Mexico, with the winner getting a title shot (B-) Xtreme Title Ladder Match Rod Remus def. Soul Taker(c) in twenty-five minutes of excellent Zone action (C+) Show rating: C, 0.33 TV. Looks like taking our footage off the 'net got us a .07 rating increase. Let's see if we can get that up any more... we miss being .54... In the hopes of getting around Cliff's idea of only hiring resiliant, well-trained workers, we tried to start a working relationship with some overseas promotions. We got one with Hinote Dojo... but most of their workers were under development contracts, so that didn't work out so well for us. SHOCK HEADLINE: Warlord Pain has passed away at the age of 52. He was most recently a color commentator for Hinote Dojo. Medical reports cite the usage of drugs -- the second drug-related death in wrestling in recent months. Amazingly, this was the first month in recent memory when we held TV shows instead of weekly events and still managed to turn a profit. Sure, only three hundred bucks, but we still turned a profit this month, even with the TV show. November 2013, week 1, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Puerto Rican Power's Gym, Puerto Rico (SOLD OUT) Opening Match Amazing FireFly def. Donnie J in eleven minutes of unexpectedly good action (C) Dueling interviews from Alicia and Angel about their contendership match tonight (D, D) #1 Contendership Match Angel de Mexico def.

Raku Makuda in fifteen minutes of "Why the heck are these guys main eventing?" debacle (E+). Kaima stands tall over both women, Crusher at his side. Show rating: D, 0.25 TV Argh. That sucked. On the next Coastal Zone: I need a broom, and a rug big enough to sweep this under...

[infinitywpi]

Where mistakes occasionally work in our favor... but usually, we get stuff like the last couple weeks. Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Okay, so it looks like our overseas venture isn't going to yield fruit. Guess Hinote doesn't put their footage on the Internet. Our champion, Josh Jones, got an offer from RCAW. They were small enough to not be a threat, so we decided to let Jones decide for himself if he should add some more commitments to his schedule. November 2013, week 2, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from Puerto Rican Power's Gym, Puerto Rico (SOLD OUT) Opening Match Soul Taker def. Harry Wilson in eleven minutes (D+) Backstage, Kaida is walking... when Rod Remus stops him. "If you want a hand taking out those broads? I'm more than up for helpin' you."

D shows just weren't cutting it... yet they were slowly helping us get over in Puerto Rico, which was pretty much what we wanted... but they weren't helping us in Mexico or the Southwest, so... hrm... November 2013, week 3, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone -- Thanksgiving Live from. Tiujana, Mexico (SOLD OUT) We open the show with Josh Jones making an open challenge for the night... this time, Simon Ice's music hits... and out comes Soul Taker, and we all laugh at the little inside joke. Taker wants a title shot, Jones asks how many times he needs to beat him, and Taker says "Last time was the last time." (D) Sweep-it-under-the-rug Match Alicia Strong def. Masakazu Kaida in nine minutes (D) Tidal Tag Title Match The Originals (Donnie J & Marc Speed)(c) def. The New Mexican Revolution (Amazing FireFly & El Beastia Purpura) in sixteen minutes in one of the best Tidal Tag Matches in Zone history (C-) The Originals then do a quick promo, calling for challengers. Nobody can stand against their skills and experience (D) Main Event Championship Match Josh Jones(c) def. Soul Taker in seventeen minutes in better-than-expected action, but leading once again to Taker not getting the job done (C+) Show rating: C-, 0.27 TV On the next Coastal Zone: Our first severe injury of the dynasty.

Accident-free for the last 1 day! Welcome to the Coastal Zone! Injury Report: Soul Taker, Reverberating Bicep. Out for a month. D'oh. Still, that's our worst injury in, what, seven years? Not a bad track record. Plus, we'd been working him hard lately -- this'll give him a chance to relax. RCAW was aiming high, offering Rod Remus a contract. Interesting... We re-signed the XDW crew and Josh Jones. For the cost, Josh was a great investment... but some of the XDW guys were starting to become a little expensive for what they did. We either had to push them and find a way to get good matches otu of them, or cut them loose and find a whole new lower-midcard. November 2013, week 4, Thursday Welcome to the Coastal Zone Live from Puerto Rican Power's Gym, Puerto Rico (SOLD OUT) Opening Tag Match Too Hot & Simon Ice def. Ultimo Soetsu & Antonio in twelve minutes (E+) Rod Remus tells us he wants a serious challenger to his title tonight.

Other than the slightly low 6 man schmozz I don't see how any of these ratings are anything but encouraging. I do wish you'd find some great chemistry with some mid carders to flesh out the roster and really drive CZCW to that seemingly just out of reach Cult level. And this year you make cult! I'll stake my (non-existent) reputation on it. How close are you to Cult by the way? Doesn't matter, the thought of Peers' problems magnified to the cult level are too delicious to ignore. [b]And now,[/b] some of[b] the end-of-year awards![/b] Match of the Year: Matt Gauge def. Tommy Cornell, TCW Progression [i]- Matt Gauge and Tommy Cornell in the match of the year. I think the dynasty stat for Matty might be set to 'beyond max.' And the CVerse begat the GaugeVerse?[/i] Female of the Year: Wanda Fish???? [i]- Wanda Fish is amazing, the fact that she can still top the charts 7 years into the game is great. I'd have given it to Alicia Strong except for her slumming in CZCW. ;) :D[/i] Wrestler of the Year: Akima Brave, TCW. [i]- this surprises and delights me to see Akima here.[/i] Former Zoners on the Top 100: Hugh de Aske (58), FOX MASK (66). [i]- it just wouldn't be an infinity dynasty without Fox Mask doing what he does best[/i]
