FWE - Without Your Kids (Cornellverse)

[eayragt]

Missed the sell out with 4,372 people turning up, and without Enforcer Roberts we didn’t quite get to the B- range. No match disappointed though, as everyone performed to expectations. *** Happiness draws a 0.30 rating, a huge improvement for us. Such an improvement that we don’t cancel our TV show as planned, and the Main Event tomorrow will feature Frankie Perez taking on Enforcer Roberts! *** In case anyone’s wondering, my PPV was better than the SWF show on TV the same day (C, Main Event sure Eric Eisen defeating Lead Belly). *** Des Davids joins CZCW, while Jerry Martin and Ernie Tayler join SWF. *** Hell Monkey is another to up his wage, but again, I keep him on. 9 months, this one. I’m not sure I’d have kept him if my PPV (which he didn’t perform on) hadn’t been such a financial success.

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed[/B] (from the South West): *** Hype video, going back to Enforcer Roberts sneaky victory over Frankie Perez last month, to him not turning up to this month’s PPV [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Hell Monkey beat Bobby Thomas[/COLOR] in 12.31 [B](C)[/B] -Hell Monkey is here tonight to Road Agent the Main Event (we don’t pay Ryu Kajahara to do that any more, as plenty of our roster have the necessary skills). Here he won with a Tumbling Monkey. *** Frankie Perez got given plenty of promo time, to sell the Main Event. He accepted that he was the underdog, having lost to Roberts cheating ways last month, and having fought two men just this week. However – he beat both men at Happiness, and Roberts is just one man tonight – and he’s ready [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mr Lucha III beat The Gambler[/COLOR] in 12.36 [B](C-)[/B] -We’ll learn to regret this severe job if we ever re-sign The Gambler, and wonder why he’s not that over. Mr Lucha III pulled off his first win, with the Third Strike. *** We cut backstage to Frankie Perez preparing to come to the ring – when he’s attacked from behind by Enforcer Roberts. The SWF man is taking no chances, and the match virtually starts early, and it’s all Enforcer Roberts. Slowly they get closer to the ring, so the match can start, with Perez severely handicapped [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Frankie Perez drew with Enforcer Roberts[/COLOR] in 31.10 as the show went off air [B](B)[/B] -Perez had to utilise the ropes early going, as Roberts tried to take advantage of his earlier attack. The match was refereed strongly though, and any submission move Roberts made had to be broken with Perez hanging onto the ropes – which eventually led to Roberts pushing Perez through the ropes, to the mat below. Once there Roberts again went on the offensive, but Perez reversed a German Suplex, leaving both men down outside the ring. A very lenient ten count allowed the match to continue, but neither man seemed to be at full strength, and just couldn’t lock in there submission move. Rock Downpour became more and more anxious on commentary that the show would run out of time, when Frankie Perez managed to hit the Perfect Parity. He made the cover… but Roberts just kicked out. It was at that point that Rock Downpour apologised, saying that time had run out, and the rest of the match would be aired next week [I]Overall Rating B-[/I]

[I]Okay, I've been shirking my responsibilities on this board over the last week, so this is the first set to address it.[/I] That’s right, I’m unsure about keeping my TV show, and I’m promising to show matches next week. Even better, I’ve just realised that due to Frankie Perez touring with INSPIRE, he can’t make our TV shows. Huh. 3,392 people proved up to a much better than normal post PPV show. [B]October 2009[/B]: *** I lose $46,000, and am now under $100,000. *** EEWW closes their doors – they managed just over a year. *** 2 time SWF North American and Tag Team Champion Groucho Bling changes style to a Super Junior. He still pulls out great matches at TCW – but loses most of them, which is why he’s stuck at midcard. *** 2007 Veteran of the Year Dread retires as a former TCW, GCG and BHOTWG Champion. When shall I hold my PPV this month? I want Enforcer Roberts vs Frankie Perez on it, but that can only happen on a Monday or Wednesday. On Monday I’m missing Hell Monkey, Insane Machine, American Elemental and Mainstream Hernandez. On Wednesday I lose Mainstream Hernandez, Masked Cougar and Rock Downpour. It looks like it’ll be a Monday, so I’ll be missing a Main Eventer and three Upper Midcarders. And anyone else I’ve missed. *** Unleashed draws a rating of 1.10, and Mr. Lucha III impressed enough to be offered a contract by MFDL. *** Insane Machine asks for $2,000 a show. I withdraw to consider. He’s got the talent, but has struggled to get over in the US – despite him losing just one singles match this year at FWE. He’s plenty over in Japan, though, so it’s no overness cap issue. He’s also had 15 title runs with 9 different titles in 4 different companies, which is mightily impressive. *** At last we have a title change at USPW, with Grandmaster Phunk taking the National Title off Warlord Agony. The shows are still based around Main Events featuring Valiant and Eric Tyler. *** I sign DEVIL Karube, the last 5SSW All Asian Champion. No, you didn’t see that coming. *** Nathaniel Ca$ino (The Gambler) [I]does [/I]re-sign for FWE, at half his last demands. Of course, he’s far less over after that defeat to Mr Lucha III… *** Bulldozer Brandon Smith joins INSPIRE’s tour – that’s one to watch. *** I add Saeko Hiroyuki to my roster, another former 5SSW worker. For those not in the know, these two ladies have all the basic wrestling skills to be a good opponent for anyone on my roster. I would also say that they’d be good for training, but I put a real high value on performance skills – so much so that only The Gambler and Steven Parker aren’t considered to have “excellent” skills by my adhoc Road Agent, Ryu Kajahara. *** Ryu Kajahara leaves FWE. Well, he was good for scouting my own workers. *** Bruce the Giant joins his second PGHW tour. He went 10-5 last time. *** We extend our PPV contract with American Option by 6 months. *** I um and er, and then make a strange signing – Mohamed El Yaaggoudi. Who won’t be available for the TV show due to his INSPIRE commitments. And is not allowed anywhere near a mic. *** We follow that up with the slightly more obvious signing of Hugh de Aske… because he’s great. *** With all the new signings I release Agent 69. It’d be rude to keep her as she’s been with me for half a year, and had one dark match. *** Mr Lucha III signs with MFDL [QUOTE]Announced for FWE Presents… Unleashed: Alicia Strong vs Miss Karube American Elemental (c) vs Insane Machine for the Extreme Title Kashmir Singh vs Steve Gumble[/QUOTE]

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed [/B](from New England): *** We start off with a video of what happened after the last show went off air, with Frankie Perez and Enforcer Roberts continuing their fight. Eventually Rick Sanders comes out and demands an end to it, and the locker room empties to break the fight up [B](B)[/B] *** Rick Sanders comes out to say that he ended the match last week, as the world deserved to see Roberts make Perez tap out, so the rematch will be in two weeks at In the House – which will also see him take on Warrior Champion Masked Cougar for the title. The Gauges come out applaud Sanders great managerial skill by booking himself in a title match, rather than giving anyone else a chance. Sanders says that he’s happy to help out others – but there’ll be no help in the Main Event tonight, where The Gauges will face the combined might of himself and Enforcer Roberts [B](D)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Steve Gumble beat Kashmir Singh[/COLOR] in 11.38 [B](C-)[/B] -As usual Singh fought well, and at times proved Gumble’s equal. Apart from he didn’t cheat, and Gumble did. After crotching Singh on the top rope, he could only stagger into a Savate Kick. *** American Elemental hyped up his title defence next, saying it was by his choice that he was offering Insane Machine a rematch for the title he lost 2 months ago [B](D+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]American Elemental (c) vs Insane Machine[/COLOR] to retain the Extreme Title in 18.29 [B](C+)[/B] -American Elemental has really hit a run of form since being turned face, and put on a great match with Insane Machine. Even after Machine struck with a Termination Kick, he showed great resolve by managing to get a foot on the bottom rope to stop the count. Insane Machine wasn’t so lucky after an Inferno Splash, and Elemental retained his title. *** American Elemental posed in the ring with his title, and even managed to shake his opponents hand [B](D+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Alicia Strong beat Miss Karube[/COLOR] in 5.38 [B](C)[/B] -DEVIL Karube came out dressed in casual wrestling gear, with no hint of a gimmick. I have plans (that may not come into fruition) with her and Hiroyuki, but for now was happy just to giver her some national exposure. She was pinned after a Strong Arm Tactic. *** Steve Gumble came out to the ring, sarcastically applauding. He told Alicia that it’d be nice to face off against women every week, then he’d be able to win like she did. However, he fought true wrestlers – men, something that Alicia seemed to avoid. She strenuously denied this, reminding Gumble that she now holds no booking power. She did say that sounded like a challenge, and if so, she accepted. Gumble told her to be prepared, as she was really going to have to up her game [B](C+)[/B] *** The Gauges cut a quick backstage interview on their opponents, recognising that their opponents held the experience advantage, but in youth, vigour and skill, they reckoned they were in a good position [B](C)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Rick Sanders and Enforcer Roberts beat The Gauges[/COLOR] in 15.32 [B](B-)[/B] -The Gauges proved stern opposition for Sanders and Roberts, but their experience counted – especially their experience at getting away with cheating. So much so that when Roberts made the pin on Greg Gauge, he wasn’t even the legal man, but the count was made anyway. [I] Overall Rating C-[/I]

[eayragt]

Not a bad result at all, a sell out crowd of 2,000 turning up despite being outside one of our two homes (South East and South West). Lost $13,000 of our limited funds though. *** Unleashed draws a steady 1.06 *** Rhino Umaga is back to full health after his knee injury. *** The underused (or never used) Angel de Mexico (at FWE) gets his first MFDL Campeon de Lucha title victory, coming over Apprentice Jr. *** Mathew Gauge signs with DaVE, joining FWE colleagues Masked Cougar and Mainstream Hernandez. *** SWF go back to their old tactic of running PPV’s from the UK. It doesn’t work. *** I believe we have the first A* match for two years – but theirs no surprise it’s at NOTBPW. And not too surprisingly that it’s a repeat of the former Match of the Year between Jeremy Stone and Sean McFly, Stone retaining his title.

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed [/B](from the South West): *** Masked Cougar starts off the show, and it’s to address Rick Sanders. Cougar is unsure of what Sanders has done to justify his title shot, but if it has to be him – so be it. He would have been happy for it to be tonight, but his challenger isn’t even here [B](B)[/B] *** Alicia Stone comes out and joins Cougar, and tells him that several members of the roster are missing tonight (aren’t they every show?), including her opposition for Monday, Steve Gumble.

At In the House, he’ll get to feel how that move feels [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Brendon Idol beat The Gambler[/COLOR] in 15.09 [B](C)[/B] -Kinda a filler, apart from the fact that it was announced that Idol would be taking on Steven Parker at In the House. Yeah I know, no build up, but hey. [COLOR="blue"]Mathew Gauge beat Joey Beauchamp[/COLOR] in 12.34 [B](C-)[/B] -Straight into another match, and this one’s for the same reason – to point out that Mathew Gauge will be taking on Beauchamp’s partner, Joss Thompson, at In the House. We also tried to sell the fact that Greg Gauge was injured in last weeks match. Not that it’s an excuse for not booking him at the PPV. Oh no. *** Mathew Gauge made it clear to the crowd who his opponent would be at the PPV, just in case it wasn’t clear [B](C-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Masked Cougar (c) beat Fox Mask[/COLOR] in a non-title match in 25.37 [B](B-)[/B] -We decided to treat our viewers like stupid people, pointing out how Fox Mask had far more success in CZCW than Masked Cougar ever did, and would be eager to prove a point. What we didn’t point out that Fox Mask hasn’t won a single match at FWE, and despite this one being by far his longest, he was always going to lose, falling to the High Rise Cougar Pounce. [I]Overall Rating C+[/I]

3,424, just Alicia Strong and Masked Cougar from above the midcard, and a strong show. That’s a result. Only lost us $3,000 too. *** We’re straight into our Monday Pay Per View.

And if so, will we see a result? -And who will we discover with no chemistry together? All to be revealed, at In the House!

[eayragt]

[B]FWE Presents… [SIZE="5"]In the House[/SIZE]:[/B] Holy… a record 9,527 attendees – lets not let them down. *** We start with our hype video, of course mentioning the title match between Sanders and Cougar, but also hyping the fact that at last we’ll have a winner between Frankie Perez and Enforcer Roberts [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Brendan Idol beat Steven Parker[/COLOR] in 13.42 [B](C-)[/B] -We start the PPV with a huge upset. It’s almost as if Parker’s contract is coming up, and we want him to lose some of his overness. He never seemed to consider Idol a threat, but was caught but an Idol Drop, and that was all it took (although he argued that his shoulders were never down for three) *** Steve Gumble comes down to the ring – and he’s wearing a blonde wig. He tells the crowd that he thought that Strong would be more at home facing him this way, so used is she to fighting women. Alicia Strong comes out, and it seems that she’s found some headwear – Gumble’s cowboy hat. Gumble throws down his wig, and suddenly gets a whole lot more serious [B](C+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Alicia Strong beat Steve Gumble[/COLOR] in 15.34 [B](C)[/B] -Of course they don’t click – which I should have guessed by the fact that I’m going to set up a rematch in a minute. Gumble didn’t hold back at all, and caused concern for Strong’s welfare. However, much like the first match, once Strong took control, she never relinquished it. She perhaps could have got the pin after a Butterfly Effect, but finished the match, as promised, with a Strong Arm Tactic. *** Alicia caught her breath, but left the ring happily waving to the crowd. That soon ended when Steve Gumble grabbed one of the FWE cameras, and struck down Strong from behind. She crashed, unconscious, to the floor, and Gumble strolled out to the back [B](C-)[/B] *** The EMTs came out to see to Strong, and they were joined by Masked Cougar. She didn’t regain consciousness, and was wheeled to an ambulance as the Warrior Champion looked on concerned [B](B)[/B] *** The cameras cut over to Rick Sanders and Enforcer Roberts, with Sanders making comment that perhaps Cougar should be concentrating on his title match later. He also did the talking for Enforcer Roberts, saying that once he was finally rid of Perez, there’d be nothing that could stop him dominating[B] (C)[/B] *** Hope the crowd aren’t too bored… one more backstage segment, and its Frankie Perez. He’s lost once – unfairly. He’s drawn once – when he was happy to carry on wrestling. And one other time he turned up – and his opponent didn’t bother. Something different will happen tonight – tonight he gets his win [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Frankie Perez beat Enforcer Roberts[/COLOR] in 32.33 [B](B-)[/B] -An odd lack of selling that they hadn’t shown before showed that Enforcer Roberts was obviously upset at taking the loss here. It’s not as if he’s done too badly out of this feud. There were submission moves a plenty, but unlike their submissions match neither man would tap out lightly, using every last bit of energy they had to either reach the ropes or break the hold. We decided to throw in Perez almost picking up the loss due to losing consciousness, then cue the comeback. He weakened Roberts hold, before getting up and whipping him into the ropes. On the way back he was dropped to the floor, and Perez locked the P-Clutch in. Every time Roberts got near the rope he was dragged back, and in the end the tap came, giving an exhausted Perez the win. *** As Perez celebrated, Roberts seemed not to believe it, and left the ring, dejected [B](B)[/B] *** It’s cool down match time, as Joss Thompson tells Mathew Gauge that he may have beaten his partner, Beauchamp, but that is nowhere near as easy as defeating him [B](C)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Joss Thompson beat Mathew Gauge[/COLOR] in 10.53 [B](C+)[/B] -And Mathew takes another PPV loss – at least he made it onto this one. It seemed to be a battle of Proton Lock vs Joss Lock, but Thompson got the win with a sneaky pinfall attempt with a handful of tights. *** Masked Cougar gave the most emotive speech he had ever given, saying that he would win tonight for Alicia Strong. And the fact that Rick Sanders allows attacks like Gumble’s go unpunished will just make victory even sweeter[B] (B+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Masked Cougar (c) beat Rick Sanders[/COLOR] to retain the FWE Warrior Title in 20.48 [B](B-)[/B] -Sorry, Sanders may be the boss, he may have plenty of experience, but he’s just not got the skills of some of my roster. Cougar’s underdog role was downplayed for this one, and he gradually took over. Rick Sanders kept looking out back, and the commentary team speculated that he was after the assistance of Enforcer Roberts. It wasn’t coming, and Sanders fell to the Cougar Calling Moonsault. *** Cougar grabbed his title and celebrated, mouthing the words “for you” at the camera as the show ended [B](B)[/B] [I]Overall Rating B-[/I]

[eayragt]

*** Unleashed draws a 1.21 (a record), and the following PPV draws a 0.33 buy rate (another record). In the House also goes down as my best ever show booked, and a new record attendance of 9,527. I guess that was a pretty good night. Four records aren’t bad. *** Even better than a pretty good night. We earn over $230,000 from the PPV, and might be able to think about breaking even this month. *** The only bad thing about the show – the obvious hit that Enforcer Roberts took from his match with Perez, dropping from B overness to C+. Is he now worth over $3,000 a show? *** Kathy Neptune leaves FWE, and will go back to defending her BSC Queen of the Ring Title that she’s held for a year. *** Insane Machine breaks his collarbone against Awesome Thunder, and will be out for three weeks. Which is a pity, as he only has a week left of his contract, which I had reluctantly decided not to renew. He won’t get a departing defeat to Brendon Idol as planned. *** Katie Cameron re-signs, proving an extremely cheap colour commentator. Steven Parker also just gets a contract extension – on my final offer. [QUOTE]Announced for FWE Presents… Unleashed: Fox Mask vs Joey Beauchamp Hell Monkey vs The Gambler Greg Gauge vs ???

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed:[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Joey Beauchamp beat Fox Mask[/COLOR] in 12.52 [B](C-)[/B] -Fox Mask shot at a Main Event was a one off, putting up a fight, but falling to Beauchamp. *** Joey Beauchamp took the mic, and addressed his partner, Joss Thompson. He congratulated Thompson on his win at In the House, but reminded him that they were still a team, and should ride together [B](D)[/B] *** The Gambler came out with an elaborate smokey entrance – and then the fire of Hell Monkey struck up, and The Gambler cowered outside the ring [B](C-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Hell Monkey beat The Gambler[/COLOR] in 13.51 [B](D)[/B] -Yes, I still employ Hell Monkey, but for some reason don’t use him nearly enough. And here he found someone he didn’t click with. To think, it was almost the Main Event. *** American Elemental did the hype for his title defence (ignoring the fact his opponent hasn’t won a match at FWE) [B](C+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]American Elemental (c) beat Phenomenal E [/COLOR]to retain the FWE Extreme Title in 8.31 [B](C-)[/B] -We allowed Ed two high spots. The third, him selling an Inferno Splash, doesn’t count. *** Greg Gauge lifted the crowd before the Main Event, wishing his mystery opponent to appear as soon as possible. He said this was just one step to taking on the man who kept him out of In the House – Enforcer Roberts. (B) [COLOR="blue"]Greg Gauge beat Hugh de Aske[/COLOR] in 18.25 [B](C+)[/B] -Crud, forgot to change Hugh from a midcarder. Don’t think the crowd will like seeing this much from it. We saw a very evenly paced match, with the Pirate powering out from every submission move that Gauge could think of. The commentators got quite excited that this rookie could pull out the unthinkable win. In the end he outwitted his opponent, ducking a charge and watching him clatter into the ring post, and then getting the quick roll up. *** Gave de Aske mic time too. He staggered up, and promised that he’d get the scallywag next time. Greg smiled, and warned de Aske that he might still be seeing double by the time they next meet [B](C)[/B] [I]Overall rating C+[/I]

[eayragt]

Yeah, they moaned about seeing de Aske too much. They’ll have to get used to that. The crowd was 3,633, meaning that the show broke even, and we’re having a pretty successful month. *** Unleashed draws a 1.03 *** Shane Stones and Insane Machine leave FWE. Stones has been replaced by the far cheaper Baby Jamie, who is also available for the last show each month. Insane Machine’s release at his contract ends was far harder, and is tribute to the talent currently at FWE. He leaves as a two time Extreme Title holder, racking up 13 months with the title, and had 46 wins, 19 defeats, and two draws. *** Wednesday is the night to watch TV, as NOTBPW and TCW run overlapping shows. This week they both hit B+, with Jeremy Stone retaining the Canadian Title over Sean McFly, and Tommy Cornell defeating Human Arsenal headlining (both A’s). We run an Invasion show from the Mid Atlantic, as we don’t want to pay Hernandez for doing nothing this month. And we actually take along quite a few of our stars. [B]FWE Presents… Invasion[/B] (watched by 2,262 fans) [COLOR="Blue"]Alicia Strong beat Otsune Tsumaru[/COLOR] in 8.50 [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Steven Parker beat Rolling Johnny Stones[/COLOR] in 8.53 [B](D+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mainstream Hernandez beat Brendan Idol [/COLOR]in 21.52 [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Masked Cougar beat Joey Beauchamp[/COLOR] in a non title match in 12.41 [B](C+)[/B] [I]Overall Rating C[/I] *** The “C” rating may seem hard, but I lost a storyline when Insane Machine left.

Not too many left over from when I started, but I'm slowly growing.[/I] [B]FWE Presents… Unleashed[/B] (from New England): *** Masked Cougar is the first man out, and he’s demanding Steve Gumble comes to the ring so he can take revenge for sending Alicia Strong to hospital at In the House. Instead, Rick Sanders comes out, and informs Masked Cougar that the only way Gumble will face Masked Cougar is if he puts his title on the line. Cougar quickly agrees, but Sanders tells him it’s not that simple – he still has a rematch that needs to be taken care of. Cougar suggests tonight, and we have a title match for the Main Event [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Brendon Idol beat Bobby Thomas[/COLOR] in 8.32 [B](C-)[/B] -Idol continues his momentum after defeating Steven Parker. It’d be nice to be able to afford my whole roster, so I could continue all my stories in one night. Thomas, once more, lost this one. *** The Gauges were backstage, and were on anti-Roberts promo duty. Greg let us know that he wanted first shot at the man who injured him, but is having to face Phenomenal E to prove his fitness first. As such, his brother has stepped up to the plate, and he’ll be at ringside to support him [B](C)[/B] *** The Gauges headed out to the ring… when they came face to face with Hugh de Aske.

Through in two technical stars, one having the experience to up for the others lack of it, and I knew it had to be a good match. If only Mathew could have stopped Roberts cheating, then he may have got the win. Unfortunately for Mathew the Greg allowed Roberts to get away with some sneaky reversals based on eye pokes and tight pulling, that put Mathew on the back foot. Greg grew frustrated ring side, and broke one such illegally gained submission move, and the ref DQ’d his brother there and then. *** Roberts and Greg took it two one another, exchanging blows, and Mathew could do nothing to get between them. Roberts found the energy to go for the RCT, but Mathew managed to drag his brother out of the ring before it was locked in [B](C-)[/B] *** Masked Cougar cut an interview before the Main Event. He dedicated this match to Alicia Strong, saying he welcomed the day that she stepped foot back in the ring at FWE – and he’s take out the man who hospitalised her, just as soon as he got through Sanders [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Masked Cougar (c) beat Rick Sanders[/COLOR] to retain the Warrior Title in 17.42 [B](C+)[/B] -Not as good as the preceding match, but this was definitely the correct order to put them in. For those expecting a Gumble run in, it wasn’t to happen, as this was going to be an expensive enough show without paying him as well (and he’s my fourth top earner). Instead, we managed to end this feud once and for all, and despite all Sanders technical efforts, he just couldn’t stop Cougar hitting a High Rise Cougar Pounce to retain. [I]Overall Rating C+[/I]

[B]November:[/B] *** After five months of heavy loss making (since I’ve turned Cult), FWE make a $18,000 profit! This was completely down to the PPV, which was well attended, and had record ratings in quality and buy rate. I’m going to have to match that for the next two months if I want to keep my TV show. *** Robert Oxford is to retire next month, having not been able to find employment since leaving TCW. *** Unleashed hits a 1.22 rating – that’s another record. *** SWF come knocking on Hernandez’s door. If he joined them he’d leave me, and despite the fact that he can never attend my TV tapings, it’s be a blow. He has, however, turned them down before. *** USPW hit a C- show (a phenomenal achievement for them), with Eric Tyler defeating Bulldozer Brandon Smith in the Main Event. Make that “the departing” Bulldozer Brandon Smith, as contract negotiations were meant to have started, but he’s shown no indication that he wants to re-sign. *** MAW also hit C-, without Eric Tyler. *** CZCW and NOTBPW announce new shows for the new season, and quickly followed by SOTBPW and TCW. *** Bart Biggz joins his brother at DaVE. Without me realising, Bart has become Heavyweight and Tag Team (with Daniel Cano) Champion at MHW. *** I make a re-signing that I’ve been thinking about for a while, and I’ll wait for my PPV to reveal him.

The match was nowhere near an end when Hugh de Aske’s music hit, and he swaggered down to the ring. Even with the two in the ring, he took a mic, and the ref called the match a draw. *** Hugh started to launch into The Gauges, but had the mic pulled away from him by Idol.

We’ll thank Gumble for that rating, but the 3,204 saw a good all round show. *** Rolling Johnny Stone becomes the first person to arrive late to a show for a while. I would be happy releasing him, but need him to keep my roster size up. *** Unleashed draws a 1.21 rating. *** Nevada Nuclear wins the SWF North American Title off Kurt Laramee. Let’s hope he’s not a transitional champion like he’s been before (with the Shooting Star Title). *** It takes just two weeks for SWF to decide to give Ekuma the Hawaiian Strong Man a contract.

Masked Cougar hit a I am Cougar, Hear Me Roar on Beauchamp, but fell to a Clean Cutter from Thompson. As Alicia Strong broke the pin, Hugh de Aske ran out and yanked American Elemental off the apron, and then drilled Strong’s head into the top turnbuckle.

Well, again the rating sucks (relatively), but 3,376 people saw a good lead up to Fireworks, and two very strong matches. The crowd saw too much of Rolling Johnny Stones – you know you’re low on the card when 6 out of 90 minutes is too much. *** Unleashed drops to a 1.04 rating. *** Raul Hughes defeats Mike Watson for his second INSPIRE King of Fighters Championship, but more importantly (to me) Greg Gauge gets his second title (he’s OLLIE’s figurehead too), dethroning Warlord Pain as USPW World Champion. *** Insane Machine tours with GCG. He also still has a job at WLW. *** I make the decision to unexpectedly cut my show, just like that. It was a financial decision, that may not have been wise, but FWE are off air – but on PPV. *** Aaron Andrews is at war with… Nathan Black!?! There paths must have crossed backstage at a CGC event. *** Elemental II is almost there – his ninth BHOTWG Junior Championship has him just one behind Optimus.

[B]FWE Presents… [SIZE="5"]Fireworks[/SIZE] on PPV[/B] *** We’re in front of 8,615 people – that’s 900 down from last month.

Strong came over to back him up, saying that she would have liked nothing more than to finish the job, but the she has full faith in the champion, and has her own battle in Joss Thompson next [B](C+)[/B] *** We cut over to Joss Thompson cutting a quick promo, wondering how fit Alicia really was, and how successfully she’d be without Cougar at her side [B](C)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Alicia Strong beat Joss Thompson[/COLOR] in 16.31 [B](B-)[/B] -Very nice – both these two are developing nicely, and put on a decent contest considering this is the first time that they’ve ever met. It was kept largely technical, with Thompson keeping Strong grounded so she couldn’t pull out any of her high flying move. Strong showed resilience to get to the ropes after a Joss Lock, and was eventually able to go airborne to hit the Butterfly Effect for the win. *** Joss stormed out back, and found Beauchamp, and asked him where he was. His partner rightly pointed out that Thompson was nowhere to be found for his Extreme Title shot – maybe they weren’t such good partners after all. The argument ended when Gumble came up to admonish them, pointing out that they both let themselves down, and needed to get together to help him and their mutual friend [B](C)[/B] *** The Gauges were on joint promo duty for there matches, insistent that there youth could win the day [B](C+)[/B] *** Rick Sanders came to the ring with a mic, and we thankfully kept it short.

Commentary informed us that they had agreed that their partners would be at ringside for each others matches, so it was left for the two men to prove themselves. As Mathew went to apply the Proton Lock, Sanders managed to get a reversal, and locked in the Figure Four. Making good use of the ropes to add leverage, Sanders forced Mathew to tap. *** Hugh de Aske cuts a quick promo, and as he starts to head to the ring, is met by Gumble. They exchange words, and Gumble lets de Aske go, smiling to himself [B](D+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Hugh de Aske beat Brendon Idol[/COLOR] in 8.59 [B](C)[/B] -de Aske gets a decent win to his name, but not entirely on his own. He launched Idol into the ref, and once down Joss Thompson and Joey Beauchamp made there way ringside. A 3 vs 1 beatdown followed, and when Alicia Strong tried to come out and help, Thompson intercepted her. In the ring, Beauchamp revived the ref as de Aske hit the Skull and Crossbones, and got the win. *** Greg’s turn for hype.

Like before, when they produced my best match ever, the two seemed almost equals, despite Greg’s young age. “Almost” was the key word, as after a pinfall attempt, Greg turned his back, and decided to go up a turnbuckle. He never saw Roberts drag him down, and once in the RCT he was forced to tap. *** Steve Gumble comes out… and he’s got a ladder? He points out that both he and Cougar have made there name in high profile ladder matches – why should it not continue here. He challenged Cougar to make there match a ladder match, which Cougar accepts, and his title is quickly hoisted up.

It wasn’t without interference, as Hugh de Aske, Joey Beauchamp and Joss Thompson came ringside, closely followed by Alicia Strong and Brendan Idol. In summary, de Aske hit the Skull and Crossbones on Masked Cougar, but Idol grabbed the only ladder in the ring, and forced Hugh and Gumble out. Thompson slid in and hit the Clean Cutter on Idol, and Perfect Package tried to set up the ladder for Gumble. Gumble got part way up before Alicia Strong launched herself from the near turnbuckle, drop kicking the ladder, and sending Gumble out of the ring (and through the commentary table). With none of the contenders standing, Perfect Package turned their attention towards Strong, setting up a table outside the ring for her. Idol fought them off (chasing them backstage), but de Aske lifted Strong up, and looked ready to plant her through the table when Cougar took down de Aske from behind. He took de Aske to the apron, and hit a I am Cougar, Hear Me Roar, sending the rookie through the table. Inside the ring, Alicia Strong set up the ladder, before dragging Cougar into the ring. He got half way up, when he noticed Gumble back in the ring, camera in hand, sneaking up on Strong. Cougar launched himself over Strong, and took Gumble out. Strong pointed Cougar back up the ladder, and dealt with Gumble herself, hitting the Strong Arm Tactic, while Masked Cougar claimed the title to make his sixth defence. Phew. [CENTER]_________________________________[/CENTER] *** Masked Cougar and Alicia Strong embraced after the epic encounter, when the lights suddenly dipped. The sounds of crashing thunder resounded round the arena, with arcs of lightning providing sporadic glimpses that showed two figures at the top of the stage. A voiceover boomed out: [I]“As the great Kingpriests of the world set up their law across the world, the balance between good and evil sifted. The power claimed to be used for good sent mankind spiralling towards destruction, and it was the Devil that provided their saviour by sending… [B]Plague[/B]”[/I] At that the lights came up, and there was an extra figure in the ring – the FWE wrestler formerly known as Black Eagle had returned as Plague, and he launched a blistering attack onto the exhausted Strong and Cougar. The two female figures on the rampway made there way down to the ring, circling it and chanting at the same time. Plague takes no time in taking out the two faces, piling Strong on top of Cougar, before hitting the New Jersey Turnpike off the top rope… and I’ll find a different name for that, as it doesn’t suit this character [B](C+)[/B] [I]Overall Rating C+[/I]

[eayragt]

Hope that was one of the high C+’s. Anyway, Black Eagle is back at FWE after a two year absence, under his old CZCW moniker of Plague. He was our first ever Extreme Champion, but looks like he’s got his sights set far higher that that. He’s at C+ overness in the US thanks to his DaVE work – B overness in the South West thanks to his OLLIE work. *** We draw in 0.28 rating – two points down on In the House. That and the dip in attendance set us on course for a loss – however, without the TV show, we’re in a position where we could make some money from our shows… and we’re starting now. *** Plague started with his usual Mysterious gimmick – which has disastrously been rated at E+. I may have to switch it to some kind of Evil Incarnate gimmick, and take whatever hit it gives me. *** Plague’s two acolytes were DEVIL Karube and DEVIL Hiroyuki (formerly Saeko Hiroyaki).

He (along with Rhino Umaga), gets an offer to join INSPIRE’s next tour. Frankie Perez, who went 2-1 on their last tour, thankfully doesn’t. *** I’m an idiot. I traded in Troy Tornado for another appearance from NOTBPW to kick off out new TV run. Of course, NOTBPW run a show on the same day as us, so Troy won’t be present. *** Without BHOTWG touring this month, everyone but Troy will be available for our TV show this month. Even more remarkably, our PPV on Thursday Week 3 should have everyone available – even the NOTBPW man. Unless I’ve missed something. *** TCW are knocking out great shows – although they’ll have to do something to keep up with NOTBOW 3 shows a week.

Idol gave it a good go, but a pinfall attempt was broken up by Hugh de Aske. Gumble then got in a knee to the groin, that was soon followed by a Savate Kick for the win. *** Steve Gumble took a mic, and announced that it felt good to be back on live TV - the only thing he needed was a title around his waist. Alicia Strong came out, and said that Masked Cougar's next opponent would be decided in a four way later - and Gumble would not be in it. As Gumble protested, Alicia Strong said that she was just the messenger - but he would have a match at No Agents. She asked Gumble to think back a couple of months, when he had a title shot on Unleashed. She went on to ask Gumble who was the special referee that night, and Gumble's face dropped.

3,487, and some strong backstage segments saw us go into B- territory, which I honestly didn't think would happen.

We really played up Plague's strength, although only had sporadic exchanges between him and Masked Cougar. Plague's DEVIL Disciples came ringside, circling, chanting, and certainly distracting the ref. Masked Cougar was low blowed by Gumble, but he just kicked out, as the Disciples leapt up to the ring. The ref tried to keep them out, when Bart Biggz slid into the ring, and dragged Cougar outside, before issuing some stiff kicks. Alicia Strong tried to help, but was dragged into the ring by Plague, who blasted her with a head butt. He climbed to the top rope and hit the Memory Remains (New Jersey Turnpike), and the illegal man got the pin on the illegal woman. Good going ref. *** The heels completely outnumbered the faces, but had an unlikely rescuer in Hell Monkey, who made a beeline for Plague, dropping him with a Hell Fire Kick. Yes, that's right, we're finally booking Hell Monkey at a Pay Per View [B](C)[/B]! [I]Overall Rating C+[/I]
