FWE - Without Your Kids (Cornellverse)

[Monkeypox]

What year are you in, again? I'm impressed that you're C- rated - my DaVE fed is C rated in the Tri-Cities, has 2 C-s, and is D+ everywhere else. You're ahead of me, at least. On the other hand, I think you're in about 2010 and I'm in... May. My game actually goes slower than real time.

I've had close to three and a half years of growing, with the vast majority of shows "improving my popularity". Think that my out of region popularity has only just crept up to C-, as this only started moving when I put on my TV show (although I've had a couple of dabbles on the Internet).

Announced for FWE Presents… Unleashed from the South West: [B]Frankie Perez [/B]vs Greg Gauge [B]Jacob Jett (c)[/B] vs Joey Beauchamp for the FWE Extreme Title American Elemental vs [B]Aaron Andrews[/B] [B]Alicia Strong[/B] vs Steven Parker Plague and Steve Gumble vs [B]Enforcer Roberts and Mainstream Hernandez[/B] Man some great shows. You leave the forums for about a week and you just, and everyone else, start churning out shows. I see a good push for Enforcer, winning the match and challenging Plague for the title.

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed[/B] from the South West: *** It’s Easy Emma to start the show, to make the matches for The Grind. Steve Gumble vs Plague has already been announced, and we have Alicia Strong vs Enforcer Roberts and Hugh de Aske vs Mainstream Hernandez added. As the six of them come out and jaw off at one another, Aaron Andrews comes out and demands to know who he’s fighting. Easy Emma reveals that a friend once betrayed will be Andrews’ opposition, and he’ll discover who by the end of the show [B](B+)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Greg Gauge beat Frankie Perez[/COLOR] in 12.47 [B](C+)[/B] -Oops – they don’t click at all. I discovered this years ago back when Frankie Perez was champion, but I confused Greg with Mathew today (which strangely enough happened in the storyline of that show). Still, they put on a decent, even contest, which didn’t kill the heat for their tag match at all. Kristen Pearce distracted both Mathew Gauge and the ref, Joss Thompson hit the Clean Cutter, Greg got the pin. *** The heels darted out back while Mathew helped Frankie up (who had blood splattered all over his face), before Pearce, Thompson and Greg Gauge declared themselves as tag Champions in waiting [B](B-)[/B] *** Mainstream Hernandez was cutting a promotion hyping up his chances at The Grind, when Enforcer Roberts stepped in, shaking his head. Hernandez tells him that he should be more confident in him – they’ve got to team together tonight, and if they meet in the semi-final on Thursday, then they can disagree [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Jacob Jett (c) beat Joey Beauchamp[/COLOR] to retain the FWE Extreme Title in 5.57 [B](C)[/B] -Jett won’t have a match at the PPV, Beauchamp is leaving tomorrow – it seemed a logical match. Unfortunately they don’t click, and the Jett Take Off didn’t make this match too memorable. *** Jett rescued the situation with a quick promo, asking for more challengers to his title after The Grind [B](B-)[/B] *** American Elemental came out to the ring, and called out Aaron Andrews. We were shown a clip of Andrews costing American Elemental a place in The Grind, with a voiceover of Andrews’ interview saying that he wanted to make sure he got to face Plague in the semi. American Elemental told Andrews’ that he would try and make sure he was a broken man by the time he got to The Grind [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Aaron Andrews beat American Elemental[/COLOR] in 7.56 [B](B)[/B] -Wow, the two really tore it up out there. American Elemental was originally going to take part in The Grind, but in the end I had to schedule it for a day when he was with WLW. Nevertheless, he put of a great show here, until he leapt into a dropkick from Andrews. *** Andrews got up, and pulled out a microphone, demanding that his challenger made himself known. Our video screen started off, showing pictures of Aaron Andrews’ title run, and assists from Nevada Nuclear – and then showed the day that Andrews betrayed his former colleague. Andrews’ shock his head as the final match for The Grind appeared on the screen – Aaron Andrews vs Nevada Nuclear [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Alicia Strong beat Steven Parker[/COLOR] in 4.50 [B](B+)[/B] -I’m coming dangerously close to firing Parker, so one more good match to lead Strong into The Grind was in order. It was short, but still decent, and Strong won with the Butterfly Effect. *** Alicia Strong hyped herself up, before joining commentary for the Main Event. She was joined by Aaron Andrews, who declared that he wanted to scout whoever he would meet in the final [B](B+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Enforcer Roberts and Mainstream Hernandez beat Plague and Steve Gumble[/COLOR] in 14.35 [B](C+)[/B] -A pity – our big tag matches have been much better than this. There was no cooperation here at all, and almost a DQ when de Aske dropped Hernandez’s neck onto the ropes. Plague wasn’t able to take advantage as Andrews dragged him from the ring, so the ref shrugged and let the match continue. Unfortunately for Gumble, Plague and Andrews kept on fighting, and he was left to fend for himself, which saw him tapping to the RCT from Roberts. *** We had seven of the eight entries to The Grind ringside, so the scuffle continued, and even alliances were broken as Strong accidentally hit Hernandez with a Super Kick, before being locked in the RCT herself as the show ended [B](B-)[/B] [I]Overall Rating B[/I]

[eayragt]

Thank you everyone not involved in the Main Event for that rating. 3,985 would have liked to see Nevada Nuclear, but everyone else was available, and it’s next stop The Grind. *** It’s a 3.86 rating for Unleashed once more. *** We didn’t plan for blood in the opening match – a stray elbow broke Frankie Perez’s nose. He’ll still participate in the Tag Team Championship match at The Grind. *** Joey Beauchamp leaves FWE. He was always the lesser out of him and Thompson in Perfect Package, and hasn’t found anywhere to go since the team broke up. *** NOTBPW must have liked what they saw in Bobby Thomas’ trade visits to them, as he’s left MAW to join them. His feud with American Elemental may never start back up now. *** Chris Caulfield leaves DaVE – still injured for two days, meaning the Unified Title has been vacated. DaVE legend Big Cat Brandon must be favourite for the title after five straight wins, but Black Eagle, Mainstream Hernandez and Bulldozer Brandon Smith have picked up notable wins – Smith and Hernandez over Eric Tyler. *** Swarm I heads to MHW the day after I decide not to sign the wrestler formerly known as Mr Lucha II. *** Robbie Retro leaves SWF, and having holding titles at DaVE and SWF is now unemployed. *** Louis Figo Manico wins the EWF Championship belt. He must want to be the last holder of the title – they’ll be lucky to be alive next month. *** Takayuki 2000 wins the GCG World Heavyweight Title from Rhino Umaga – don’t know how happy they will be about me using an injured Perez, but we’ll find out. *** DaVE Snap Shot doesn’t crown a new champion, being full of Tag Team matches. Unfortunately two of my men, Plague (as Black Eagle) and Mathew Gauge failed against Johnny Martin and Valiant, in a lackluster affair. *** Joey Minnesota has got what he deserved after some great TCW performances – taking the World Heavyweight Championship from Wolf Hawkins.

Announced for FWE Presents… The Grind on PPV: [i]- I prefer the term Grindhouse, but the Grind will suffice just fine.

[SIZE="4"][B]FWE Presents… The Grind[/B][/SIZE] on PPV: *** We’re SOLD OUT (that’s a first time ever 10,000 crowd), as Easy Emma welcomes everyone to her creation – The Grind, which will truly found out the most resilient wrestler in FWE [B](B+)[/B] *** Nevada Nuclear is the first man out, chucking various weapons into the ring. The ref tried to clear them, and the crowd pop when he rips up an Aaron Andrews signs [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Aaron Andrews beat Nevada Nuclear[/COLOR] in 7.35 [B](B+)[/B] -What a start. Nuclear quickly went for his weapons, and the ref would have DQ’d him – apart from the fact that Andrews used him as a human shield, leaving him unconscious. From then onwards Andrews had to fight off various attacks, and after a powerbomb onto a trashcan he would have been pinned if there had been a ref to make a count. Instead Nuclear set up a table outside the ring, but Andrews recovered to put Nuclear through it himself. He followed that up with lead piping to the head, and dragged the unconscious Nuclear into the ring. Andrews just about woke the ref up, and got him to count the academic pin. *** We cut backstage to see Plague turning away from the monitor in disgust, and Rock Downpour speculates that the champion didn’t want to meet Andrews in the next round [B](C+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Plague beat Steve Gumble[/COLOR] in 7.32 [B](C-)[/B] -Ouch – there’s a couple of first time matches tonight, and I hope this in the only spot of bad chemistry that I hit. Plague was fully on top, but got distracted when Andrews came to the ring. All Andrews did was give the ref some aspirin – and pull Gumble down from the top rope, allowing Plague to progress after hitting the Memory Remains. *** Andrews backed up the ramped, smiling, pointing at Plague declaring it was just them two now [B](B)[/B] *** Alicia Strong was shown about to come out for her match, when Hernandez came up to her, to wish her luck. Strong asked him if he thought it could be them two in the semi-final, to which Hernandez smiled, and speculated that it could be interesting [B](B+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Alicia Strong beat Enforcer Roberts[/COLOR] in 19.30 [B](B+)[/B] -That’s the way to forget about a bad match. By far and away the most competitive match so far, Roberts had several chances to take it. However, Strong showed great resilience, struggling out of every submission move, and getting back into the match with high flying moves. Roberts blocked a Strong Arm Tactic, kicked out of a Butterfly Effect, but in the end sold a beautiful hurricarana for Strong. *** It was Hugh de Aske hype time, telling the viewers that there would be no love match in the semi final – he had a score to settle with Alicia Strong, and would take Hernandez out to get there[B] (B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mainstream Hernandez beat Hugh de Aske[/COLOR] in 10.34 [B](B)[/B] -Apart from that one blip, this tournament keeps throwing out strong matches. De Aske looked as if he could upset Hernandez, but just couldn’t pull off a finishing move – whereas one Apparition #14 was enough for Hernandez. *** A break from The Grind now, as Greg Gauge and Joss Thompson hyped the Tag Team match. We were going to put this after the semi-final matches, but with Perez’s minor knock we’ve lowered our expectations, and moved the match earlier [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mathew Gauge and Frankie Perez beat Joss Thompson and Greg Gauge[/COLOR] to win the [COLOR="DarkOrchid"]FWE Tag Team Championship[/COLOR] in 15.04 [B](B-)[/B] -This match wasn’t nearly the standard of their last one – but with Perez not able to give it their all, it was expected. In the end, it was a suitable rest from The Grind, that didn’t overshadow it. Kristen Pearce did her best to help to heels, but Perez finally dumped her into the crowd to get rid of her. The real winner was Mathew Gauge, who got the pin on his brother Greg, using the move Greg had invented, the 12 Gauge. *** The newest champions in FWE stopped backstage to cut a promo, but were stopped in their tracks by an attack from Greg Gauge and Joss Thompson. They obviously didn’t take the loss to well, and left with the belts [B](B-)[/B] *** Aaron Andrews came out, and announced that by winning the next match, he would prove himself once more worthy of the FWE Warrior Championship – but he’d do more that that, he would win The Grind trophy as well. Out came the current Warrior Champion, not looking too impressed, but Andrews told him it was down to him that he got this far, and he didn’t for just one reason – so he could defeat the mysterious Plague [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Aaron Andrews beat Plague[/COLOR] in 19.30 [B](B+)[/B] -These two showed great chemistry, which really managed to cover up for the fact that Plague broke two ribs in his first match. After Andrews got his knees up to block a splash, Plague went on the genuine injury sell, and someone must have told the announcers about this injury. They made a huge issue of it, and used it as an excuse when Andrews hit the Standing Hot Shot for the win. *** Mainstream Hernandez and Alicia Strong were shown watching the match, looking impressed. Hernandez says they support whoever gets through, which was agreed with Strong, before they headed to the ring [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mainstream Hernandez beat Alicia Strong[/COLOR] in 14.50 [B](B+)[/B] -There’s one thing that’s guaranteed – the final just isn’t going to match the two semis. This match was right up their with their solitary previous encounter, with the result also going the same way. It was a high flying special, but Rock Downpour did point out that Strong had a much hardy fight than Hernandez to get through to this stage. Hernandez did slow down when Alicia Strong was opened up, but almost paid for it, just kicking out of a quick roll up. In the end Strong just had nothing left to give, falling to the Apparition #14. *** Hernandez’s music blared out, but was quickly cut off by Aaron Andrews’, who rushed down to the ring. Alicia Strong tried to intercept him, but was thrown to one side. Andrews then dragged Hernandez out of the ring, bouncing him off various barriers and ringposts, before rolling him back into the ring for the match to officially begin [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mainstream Hernandez beat Aaron Andrews[/COLOR] in 12.45 [B](B)[/B] -Fitting conclusion – not the best match of the night, but still very good. We kept it relatively short, given all that these two had already been through, and Hernandez was purely on the defensive for the first few minutes. Even when he rallied, Andrews was quick to take him back down, and didn’t look like losing. When both men were down, Plague struggled down to the ring – no top on, to reveal his taped ribs. He jawed at Andrews, allowing Hernandez to hit a Super Kick as the TCW man turned around. Hernandez scaled the ring post, and hit his third Apparition #14 for his third win tonight. *** Hernandez held the trophy high over his head, as Andrews gave Plague to evils to end the show [B](B)[/B] [I]Overall Rating C+[/I]

[eayragt]

C+, huh? That’s what happens when Joey Beauchamp leaves, and you forget to start a new storyline. Apart from that, it was at least worthy of a B, and would have been my best PPV yet. *** The Grind draws in a 1.37 buy rate, a huge record for our new PPV home. As long as we’re at this level, we’re profitable, and don’t have to ration our stars like we have been. *** Plague’s broken ribs won’t keep him out long term, as he’ll be able to continue to wrestle – and he barely missed a step with Andrews. *** Masked Cougar misses the PPV successfully defending his BHOTWG Junior Tag Team Titles, while American Elemental retained his WLW Universal Title. Jimmy Cox picked up a loss, Mr Lucha III didn’t wrestle. *** Nevada Nuclear leaves FWE after his one off appearance. I would have wanted more from him, but brought him in last month to face Gumble at the PPV – and then found he wouldn’t be able to make it. *** James Prudence wins the CZCW Xtreme Title from Snap Dragon. *** Frankie Perez fully recovers from his injured nose – and a Tag Title rematch can’t be far away. [QUOTE]Announced for [B]FWE Presents… Unleashed [/B]from the South West: It’s coronation time for the survivor of The Grind – Mainstream Hernandez, but you can be guaranteed that defeated finalist isn’t going to take his defeat in the final lying down. Will sparks fly between the two once more? Also, after Frankie Perez and Mathew Gauge became the first ever FWE Tag Team Champions at The Grind, they are pitched straight into a rematch against Greg Gauge and Joss Thompson. And with two other tag team matches on the card, it looks like the challenges are going to keep on coming.

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed[/B] from the South West *** It’s be wrong not to show a few stills from The Grind – showing the two semi wins, and Plague costing Aaron Andrews the final [B](B-)[/B] *** Aaron Andrews comes out, and says that he hears that there’s some kind of coronation going on tonight. He may not have been invited, but he’s turning up – he fought through three matches, and only lost because one of his earlier “week” opponents came back to cost him the match. Not only that – but he’s going to wrestle tonight “unlike some people”, as he’s a true fighter [B](B+)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Enforcer Roberts and Hugh de Aske beat Jimmy Cox and Kashmir Singh[/COLOR] in 8.38 [B](C+)[/B] -Roberts and de Aske get back onto the winning road after first round exits at The Grind, while Cox and Singh get their second match teaming together, and may end up entering the tag division full time. *** Mainstream Hernandez was shown turning up to the arena, still selling injuries from The Grind, and was met by Alicia Strong. She updated him on Andrews’ promise to turn up to the coronation tonight, and urged him to stay away. Hernandez said he wouldn’t do that, but knew how he could look after himself [B](B+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]American Elemental and Brendan Idol beat Steven Parker and The Gambler[/COLOR] in 10.54 [B](B-)[/B] -More tag team action, and trying to come up with tag teams has made me realise that my midcard faces are stronger than my heels. Parker could have been the exception, but I’ve buried him this year. Ido and Elemental hit stereo top rope moves to seal the win. *** It’s promo time from the new Tag Team Champions, Frankie Perez and Mathew Gauge, who are honoured to be the first to win the titles. Perez notes how they don’t have the titles – two bad losers stole them last week – but that’s just fine, they’ll walk out with them later [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Aaron Andrews beat Steve Flash[/COLOR] in 5.40 [B](B+)[/B] -Steve. Flash. Rocks. Andrews took out all his frustration on the veteran, and Flash sold every single little move to perfection. *** Andrews launched Flash out of the ring, before the ref managed to force him out back [B](B+)[/B] *** The champions come out to the ring, followed by Thompson, Greg Gauge and Kristen Pearce, who have time for a quick promo. They blame their defeat on Wednesday on over-exertions (wink to Pearce) the night before, but they’ve saved that for the post match party this time. They hand over the titles, and the match is on [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Frankie Perez and Mathew Gauge (c) drew with Greg Gauge and Joss Thompson[/COLOR] after a double DQ at 21.49 [B](A)[/B] -Wow. Perez showed that he was fully back to fitness, but I was not hoping for a match this good. I also finally found out that Perez and Mathew Gauge have excellent chemistry together, which is reassuring considering they’re champions, and the match was a fantastic Main Event. Pearce did her best to interfere, but when Baby Jamie tried to remove her he lost sight of what was going on in the ring, and was bowled over the Gauges after Mathew flew in Greg. From then out it was an all out fight, and the ref tried to restore order when he recovered, but as chairs started to be used, he gave up and ended the match. The only downside was the lack of selling shown, but I’ll live with it. *** Easy Emma came down to the ring with The Grind trophy, and said that not only would the winner of The Grind be getting the trophy, but they’d also be getting a shot at the Warrior Title. This brought out Aaron Andrews, to claim that as he defeated Plague on Thursday, surely it was he who was next in line to receive a title shot. He got right in Emma’s face – when Mainstream Hernandez’s music hit, and he strolled to the ring. Ignoring Andrews, he took the trophy off Easy Emma, and posed in the corners – flashlights popping all over the arena. He jumped down, and held out his hand, until an angry Andrews finally handed over the microphone. His frustration grew as Hernandez didn’t address him, and just thanked everyone for their support, so Andrews ripped the microphone from Easy Emma’s hands, and claimed that the title shot was his. Hernandez whispered into Emma’s ear, and she nodded, leading to Hernandez telling Andrews to relax. The Grind winner told Andrews that he had won a title shot – but it didn’t have to be the next one. He’d gladly stand aside and let Andrews take his shot – but only on one condition. Hernandez gets the next title shot, and if Andrews isn’t champion, he does not interfere in the match in any way at all. Andrews said that he would win the title, so Hernandez asked him what the problem was. A grin spread over Andrews face as he shook Hernandez’s hand, which ended as the lights cut, then came back on revealing Plague by the entranceway, holding his title above his head. Rock Downpour claimed that Plague was a wounded beast, but Andrews could not underestimate him, or he’d never become the next Warrior Champion [B](B)[/B] [I]Overall Rating B[/I]

[eayragt]

4,039 attendees, and a show I’m proud off. It was completely centred around Aaron Andrews, but Plague provided the subtle reminder that he was still champion, and not to be messed with. To add to that we had a phenomenal Tag Team match – which is officially the best match in FWE history, beating Troy Tornado’s defeat of Hugh de Aske. *** Unleashed breaks 4.0 for the first time. We drew 4.02, peeking at 4.32 when NOTBPW Crash ended. Which means that people who turned over got to see most of the amazing tag match. *** Remember how I told you that I signed Dragon Assassin? Well, a dark match showed her and Alicia Strong not clicking, which has shortened her use somewhat. *** Jesse Gilbert wins the CGC Canadian Title from Nate Johnson, in an unusual move. Johnson may have outgrown the title, but Jesse already has the Tag Team Titles with his brother, and doesn’t look like starting a successful singles career anytime soon. One quick Invasion show, as we’re paying Masked Cougar, an,d despite pretending he’s injured, we may as week use him: [B]FWE Presents… Invasion[/B], from New England (attendance 3,410) Fox Mask [COLOR="Blue"]Jacob Jett (c) beat Rick Sanders [/COLOR]to retain the FWE Extreme Title [B](C)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Masked Cougar beat Fox Mask[/COLOR] [B](C+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Alicia Strong and Mainstream Hernandez beat Hugh de Aske and Steven Parker[/COLOR] [B](B)[/B] [I]Overall Rating B-[/I] *** There were officially 10 different shows run last night – with my wrestlers involved in six of them. The best show – FWE, beating DaVE, SWF and TCW. It did help that TCW went to Canada. *** Axxis Jr leaves MFDL, and has only one contract now, with OLLIE. He’s still never held a title. *** Willie Hayes loses the PGHW International Title back to Joshua Taylor – they’ve held it 7 times between them. *** Current NYCW Empire Champion Sam Pratt joins MAW. *** Greg Gauge leaves USPW, and I don’t have to worry about them jobbing him to a Warlord any longer.

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed[/B] from the South East *** It was Aaron Andrews to start the show, and he wasn’t happy about being booked to face Mainstream Hernandez in six man tag later tonight. He wasn’t scared, he had more important things in mind – beat Plague at The Lead for the Warrior Title, and then get revenge. Mainstream Hernandez came out, but was immediately jumped by Greg Gauge and Joss Thompson, to which Andrews smirked that maybe he could get some revenge now. He joined the beatdown about the same time as Perez and Mathew Gauge tried a rescue, but it took a lot of backstage staff to stop the brawl [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Alicia Strong beat Otsune Tsumaru[/COLOR] in 3.42 [B](B)[/B] -Yep, you’re right, Tsumaru isn’t Mr Lucha III. She lost just like he was going to, but with a little more style. *** Hugh de Aske came out and ripped into Alicia, telling her that she had chickened out of a proper match tonight to face a woman. Alicia Strong reminded him that she got to the semi final of The Grind, but de Aske made the good point that they both went out to the same man – the eventual winner. They butted heads, and Enforcer Roberts came out to back de Aske off, but only got to pull an angry face when Strong pointed at him, and asked how he did at The Grind. She then backed off, bowing low, as American Idol made their way out [B](B-)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Enforcer Roberts and Hugh de Aske beat American Idol[/COLOR] in 13.42 [B](B)[/B] -I accidentally typed American Idol, and this one is a runner. Of course, Idol has already been depicted as a singer by the great J Sliver, but I don’t know if I can get this to work with American Elemental. Regardless, the name’s staying. Four talented workers, but size counted, and de Aske pinned Elemental after a Skull and Crossbones. *** Plague came out, and addressed Aaron Andrews, telling him that overconfidence will be his downfall, as he may have lost one battle, but that’s just made him stronger. And he’ll now do what Andrews did last week, just with more ease [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Plague beat Steve Flash[/COLOR] in 5.31 [B](C)[/B] -Plague was really slowed by his broken ribs, which I forgot about when booking this show, so actually made harder work of beating Flash than Andrews did last week. He applied a sleeper for the win, not wanting to go to the top rope. *** American Elemental and Brendan Idol are shown backstage, commenting that they make a good team, and should make a permanent thing of it. And, unbelievably, I find out the Idol needs a gimmick change. I’m sorry, here comes the singing Brendan Idol [B](C+)[/B] *** Hernandez, Perez and Gauge cut an interview before the big six man action. Hernandez looks forward to holding a title like the tag team – while they just want to defeat Greg and Joss once more [B](B+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Aaron Andrews, Greg Gauge and Joss Thompson beat Mainstream Hernandez, Frankie Perez and Mathew Gauge[/COLOR] in 25.43 [B](B-)[/B] -Mild disappointment, but I did book it to ensure that Mainstream Hernandez didn’t look too bad coming out of it. Plague made his way to the ring, but became a strange cheerleader to Aaron Andrews, that really spooked him out. Plague actually helped the heels when pulling Hernandez from the ring, and it eventually allowed Andrews to pick up the win with a Standing Hot Shot on Mathew Gauge. *** Andrews went face to face with Plague, when Hernandez grabbed Plague. The two heel showed a moment of unison, launching Hernandez away, before facing off once more, Andrews pointing at Plague’s title, saying it was his for the taking [B](B)[/B] [I]Overall Rating B[/I]

[eayragt]

A 5,000 sell out, and a crowd that claimed to see Aaron Andrews too much. Well, tough. His popularity has gone up to A in most of the US, and I’m taking my share of the credit for that. Plague’s has taken a bit of a knock with his injury affected performance. They both slip to “B-“ momentum. *** Unleashed draws 4.12. *** American Elemental cracks his sternum at the show, taking the Skull and Crossbones, and will be out for 18 days. American Idol gets delayed, but it gives me time for the Idol gimmick change! *** Mainstream Hernandez arrives late for the show. It’s a first time offence, and I let him off. *** At BHOTWG, Eiji Hamacho suffers a Torn Rotator Cuff, and will likely start to wind down his career. [B]May:[/B] *** We make £206,368, which is more money than we had at the beginning of the month. Now we have to see what TV negotiations bring. *** Former DaVE, SWF and USPW champion Freddie Datsun announces that the next month at TCW will be his last in the ring. *** Jesse Christian has been adequate at CZCW, which is enough to get a USPW contract nowadays. *** We re-sign Rock Downpour for another 9 months. We looked into bringing Steve Smith back, but decided that we were happy with the former wrestler. *** DaVE have a new Unified Champion, and it’s a surprise recovery for Eric Tyler, defeating Nevada Nuclear for the vacant title. *** Mr Lucha III leaves FWE as his contract expires, having never been utilised fully *** Stevie Grayson gets an unexpected title, winning the WL Tap Out Title from Mitsunari Fugunaga. *** I explore other options, but The Pop! Network are full, and no-one else is interested, so I’ll just try and extend my existing deal. *** Hell’s Bouncer gets his first SWF Title run, taking the North American Title from Nevada Nuclear. *** For some reason Baby Jamie thinks he’s deserves a wage hike – and after last months financials, I too easily give in to his demands. *** Thankfully I look to see that my next show clashes with big WLW and OLLIE shows, so I’ll be missing Plague and Greg Gauge, alongside Jimmy Cox and the injured American Elemental. As the only two matches set up for The Lead are a tag team rematch (involving Greg) and the Warrior Title match (involving Plague), this’ll be a good chance to start to set up the rest of the card. Or run some really mediocre matches.

[eayragt]

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed[/B] from the South East *** It’s Mainstream Hernandez to start the show this week, to wonder how he and Andrews have gone from at each others throats, to teaming tonight. Andrews comes out suggesting that just because they’re teaming, doesn’t mean they are friends. Then it’s Easy Emma to bring out FWE’s newest employee – Farrah Hesketh. Emma says that Farrah will be refereeing the Main Event – and if Andrews and Hernandez fight, they both lose their title shots [B](A)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Steve Flash beat Steven Parker[/COLOR] in 6.38 [B](D)[/B] -The commentators billed this one as a battle of the Steve’s, and we waited for highlights. And waited. It became painfully obvious that they didn’t click, and the Flash Bang for Flash’s win was most welcome. *** Flash meekly celebrated the poor win, and was blindsided by Steve Gumble. After some stiff blows, he said something about being the only “Steve” in wrestling today. This show’s not started too well. No-one cares who the best "Steve" is [B](D+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Jacob Jett and Trent Shaffer beat Mohamed and DEVIL Karube[/COLOR] in 6.31 [B](C+)[/B] -That’s better. Commentary claimed that Shaffer was a childhood friend of Jett’s, while the heels proved how poor my selection of midcard heels is. No-one tried to think of a reason why Karube had reappeared after a month or so off for this match. She was pinned by Shaffer’s Heart Burn. *** The two Canadians shook hands after the match. Wow [B](C)[/B] *** Hugh de Aske cut an interview hyping the Main Event, Roberts silently at his side. He claimed to have been robbed at The Grind, losing out unluckily to Hernandez, and eager for revenge. Tonight, he’ll get it, teaming with Roberts to defeat the two finalists [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mathew Gauge beat Rick Sanders [/COLOR]in 6.49[B] (B-)[/B] -Nothing we haven’t done before here. *** Joss Thompson came out, telling Gauge that as one half of the Tag Team Champions, he could accept his and Greg’s challenge, despite Perez not being here tonight. He said that at The Lead in 12 days, they should have one last monumental tag match – but this time, it should be something different. All for men will be locked in a cage, with the only way to win, submission. Cage submission match? However much an odd idea, Mathew accepted [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Alicia Strong beat Fuyuko Higa[/COLOR] in 3.59 [B](C+)[/B] -Again, nothing we haven’t done before. *** As Alicia left the ring, Hugh de Aske’s music hit, and he came out for the Main Event flanked by Roberts. He sarcastically applauded Strong’s hard fought win, before Hernandez, Andrews and Hesketh came to the ring [B](B)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mainstream Hernandez and Aaron Andrews beat Hugh de Aske and Enforcer Roberts [/COLOR]in 19.34 [B](B+)[/B] -I could tell you that this was a great match, but to be honest, there was so much going on backstage, that I paid no attention to it whatsoever. Hesketh proved to be an ultra-stringent ref, making Hernandez the strongest, as the one man who wasn’t trying to cheat regularly. The one-upmanship between Andrews and Hernandez looked as if it would cost them the match, but eventually they found unison, double teaming de Aske, and Andrews providing the deciding pin. *** Andrews and Hernandez both tried to take the claim for the win, when de Aske got on the mic. He told Hernandez that it was Andrews who had won the match – not him, who can’t live off being The Grind Champion for the rest of his life. He challenged him to team up with Alicia Strong at The Lead, and try taking him and Roberts on again. Hernandez accepted, and the match was made… for [I]later tonight[/I] [B](B)[/B]? [I]Overall Rating B[/I] [I]Coming next… my biggest mistake. Ever[/I]

[eayragt]

[I]OOC: Normally I don’t go for behind the scenes storylines, as my creative writing is nowhere near good enough (the sarcastic one liner is just about as far as I usually go). However, this was one unfortunate situation, and this is how is panned out…[/I] Despite the lacklustre first match, the show built momentum, with the matches gradually getting better and better. We also had a huge audience to boot, much higher than our usual attendance. The fans had made an effort – although I was surprised at the “Plague” banners, as I had revealed that he wouldn’t be at the show. The first hint that anything was going wrong was when Joss Thompson made the challenge for the Tag Team Titles, in 12 days, at The Lead. This provoked wide murmuring throughout the crowd, rather than the cheers I expected. It was actually Joss Thompson who got wind of exactly of what was happening – after he headed backstage he found Rick Sanders (who was warming down after his match), and revealed that as he was leaving, members of the crowd jeered him, saying that he screwed up, as The Lead was tonight. Rick told me straight away, and I just shook my head – whatever those fans thought, they were wrong. But one of the crew questioned me, saying that as far they were aware, they were running another show straight after this one. I asked how that could be – did they have graphics? A script? Any idea what’s going on? He shrugged, and said it was unusual, but this is live stuff, plans would come together. I made a call to Des, our finance man, who revealed that the arena had been booked for the PPV – and the fans had paid PPV prices to boot. That’s when it really hit me. Before that, I was ready to tell everyone that there had been a mistake, and they should just go home. But these were loyal plans, and they had paid, and should expect something. My heart pounded, and I could hardly hear what anyone else was saying. This would have been bad enough on a normal Saturday – trying to convince everyone to stay, asking people to wrestle a second match. But this was an unusual Saturday – the one Saturday of the year when OLLIE ran a show. No Plague – that’s our Main Event gone. No Greg Gauge – that’s the Tag Team match gone. Hell, we don’t even have The Gambler, and he would have actually made it onto at least the TV show had he been here. Hugh de Aske and Enforcer Roberts were just about to go out for the Main Event, when I sprung the news on them. I promised everyone the earth – bonuses, days off, you name it, I offered it. Roberts said that I was talking to professionals – he would have been quite happy wrestling more than one match at The Grind – he’d be quite happy doing it tonight. If I’d been thinking straight, I would have realised that Roberts had just put a dig in about being knocked out in the first round of The Grind, but I hard far worse things to worry about. I told de Aske at the end of the match, when he made the challenge to Hernandez and Strong, make sure he makes it for later tonight. He grinned, before heading out. It could have been worse – but the crew and the arena were both expecting to PPV to follow the show, it was just anyone to do with the wrestlers that were out of the loop. Over the next few days I’d learn whose mistake it was – among others, mine. Normally I book the PPV date on the first of the month, but I delayed the decision this month, due to Plague’s injury. By the time I decided last week, it turned out that marketing had already gone ahead with the date that we’d booked the year before. Of course, back then I didn’t employ Plague, so him being at an OLLIE show was far less important. And then became the most frantic booking meeting ever. I could have really done with new signee Farrah Hesketh – but she was busy in the ring refereeing the Main Event. I called upon the help of Steve Flash, Steve Gumble, along with my business partner, Rick Sanders. I became very glad that although I had told Frankie Perez that I wouldn’t be booking him tonight as Greg was away, he still decided to come along, so I had the Tag Team Champions – I just didn’t know what to do with them. At least I had a Main Event, in Alicia Strong and Mainstream Hernandez vs Enforcer Roberts and Hugh de Aske. Thinking about it now, maybe I should have split this match up a bit to spread the talent, but it was too late – with de Aske about to announce the match, I didn’t want to renege on another promise. The one major problem that I was having was one of my own creating that I have been aware of recently – my lack of midcard heels. Not only was I low on them, but both Rick Sanders and Steven Parker had lost cleanly to other midcarders earlier in the night, and weren’t exactly going to be seen as legitimate threats for anything. I initially stuck to the Steve Flash vs Steven Gumble match that I had been setting up, but my real concern was what to do with Frankie Perez, Mathew Gauge, Joss Thompson and Aaron Andrews. Flash suggested two singles matches, but it wouldn’t work – Perez individually just can’t work a match with either Thompson or Andrews. A tag match had possibilities, but neither I or Sanders really liked the options – if it was a title match, then Perez and Mathew Gauge had to win, and with no Plague around to cost Andrews the match, we couldn’t make it work. Gumble suggested DEVIL Karube, but again, she had appeared in the TV show, and had now been disassociated from Plague. Non title freed up the possibility of the heels winning, but Sanders rightly vetoed that too – we had no Warrior Title match, no Extreme Title match set up, we needed a Tag Title match. As such, I called over Joss Thompson, and asked him who he wanted as a guest partner. I don’t know if he was sucking up when he said that Rick Sanders would make sense, having just lost to Mathew Gauge. I wasn’t going to veto it, and we had our third match. The Main Event had ended – I hadn’t been aware of what a good match it had been, or how strong a show we had just run. I was just preparing to have to go out and face the crowd and let them know that Plague wouldn’t be present. Emma agreed that she’d make the announcement on PPV, but I felt I had to let the crowd know before the second show started. Before I went out though, I really needed a decision on who Andrews would be facing. Our most well known face not wrestling was Brendan Idol, but I was keeping him out for his gimmick change. Anyway, I’ll be honest, I have no idea where he lives, so he was out. Masked Cougar was in Japan. Another match with Steve Flash would go down well, but then I’d have to find an opponent for Gumble. I had no-one to debut, no time to set up a trade. It would have to be Flash. Gumble got moved to a match with Angel de Mexico. We threw together Jacob Jett, Trent Shaffer, Mohammed and Fox Mask (whose insistence at always turning up when not booked finally paid off) in an Extreme Title match – and even found a lighting guy who was willing to put up a hoist to make it a ladder match. The ladder wasn’t one of ours – it was a janitor’s ladder (and not the largest you’ve ever seen), but needs must. I breathed slightly easier. We had a card – not the card that we were looking for, but a card nonetheless. I just had to break the news to the crowd, who didn’t take it too well. I said that anyone who left now could get a full refund, and would have got to watch our TV show for free. However, even those who stay, their tickets would give them a single 10% discount at an FWE event of their choice for the rest of the year. I think most of them stayed, as I thanked them for their continuing support, making FWE the fastest growing company is wrestling today. And that was it. Another card, and it looks a little like this: [QUOTE][B]FWE Presents… The Lead[/B] on PPV: Angel de Mexico vs Steve Gumble Steve Flash vs Aaron Andrews Jacob Jett (c) vs Trent Shaffer vs Fox Mask vs Mohammed for the FWE Extreme Title in a ladder match Frankie Perez and Mathew Gauge (c) vs Joss Thompson and Rick Sanders for the FWE Tag Team Titles Mainstream Hernandez and Alicia Strong vs Enforcer Roberts and Hugh de Aske[/QUOTE] [I]OOC: Now that you can change the advance bookings, I’m not sure that there’s a big enough hit for completely reneging on promised matches. A day to day event, or an odd TV show, fine, but this is a PPV, and I’ve changed these matches right at the last minute. I’m sure that my PPV buys will go down, but as I’ve offered a financial incentive to my audience, I’m going to keep the promise in game. Therefore, as soon as this show ends, I’ll work out what a 10% discount on attending a PPV for my audience tonight costs, and I’ll be subtracting that from my finances. [/I]

[SIZE="5"][B]FWE Presents… The Lead [/B]on PPV:[/SIZE] Right, what have I got to fill – 2 hrs 30? I can do that with only five matches, they’ll just have to be long. Okay, so eleven of my wrestlers have already wrestled tonight… we’ll see. We actually run a dark match as well… with surprisingly successful results that would have been acceptable on the PPV itself. *** It’s Easy Emma to open the show, to announce the non-appearance of Plague. She announces that instead Andrews will face Flash, which brings the TCW man out, and he’s not happy. He tells Easy Emma that she may have not been around when he was champion – but he never skipped a defence, as he knew he would have been stripped of the title. Emma tried to rebut him, saying that from what she heard, he cheated his way through most title defenses, but Andrews came back to claim that any refereeing errors was not his fault. Emma looks anxious, but says she will sort it, and if Plague wants to keep his title, he had better be on Unleashed next week [B](B+)[/B] [COLOR="Blue"]Steve Gumble beat Angel de Mexico[/COLOR] in 8.32 [B](D+)[/B] -A match barely worthy of TV, let alone PPV. Let’s just say Gumble won. *** Alicia Strong is shown with Mainstream Hernandez, asking what this means to his title shot. He says that he’s fine – they can strip Plague of the title, have another bout some other time – but once Plague and Andrews are finished, he’s the next in line [B](B-)[/B] *** Rick Sanders is out back on the phone, but quickly hangs up when Easy Emma comes over to him. She reluctantly asks for his help, which causes Sanders to scoff – she wants help from the man that she quite literally screwed out of the company? Just because she doesn’t know what to f=do as neither Plague or Greg Gauge are here tonight. Emma shakes her head, saying that she didn’t even realise Greg wasn’t here, but that was the least of her worries. Sanders obviously spied an opportunity, saying that maybe he’d be able to help – but first Emma could do something for him, and name him as Greg’s substitute in the title match. Emma agreed, telling him that he was in the cage match… but Sanders stopped her once more. He said that his cage days were over her, so perhaps the Tag match should be made a usual tag match. Emma asked him if then he would help – regardless of the result? Sanders agreed, and they sealed it with a handshake[B] (B)[/B] [I]We didn’t bring a cage along. There was no cage in the janitor’s room.[/I] [COLOR="blue"]Jacob Jett (c) beat Trent Shaffer, Fox Mask and Mohammed[/COLOR] to retain the FWE Extreme Title in 14.37 [B](C)[/B] -This was almost a little bit embarrassing – a smaller than usual ladder meant that the title swung just that little bit lower, and I’m sure if Mohammed had jumped high enough he could have reached it. Fortunately he never did, and the other three didn’t quite have the reach. We let these guys plan the match themselves, so the fliers all showed off their moves, Mohammed dominated on the mat but played the “scared to go up a ladder” role, and Jett was the one to retain. *** Aaron Andrews sauntered out, and speculated that the reason that Plague was not here was because she was scared of the information he had found out – like his next match, and the tag match, their title match had been put in the hands of Farrah Hesketh. Andrews claimed that Plague had obviously seen the signs – that Hesketh was infatuated with him, but he was sure that wouldn’t affect her performance. Hesketh came out to refute the suggestion, reminding him that she stopped him cheating earlier, which just made Andrews grin, pointing out how much lovers like to argue [B](A)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Aaron Andrews beat Steve Flash[/COLOR] in 11.55 [B](B-)[/B] -Not the quality of their recent match, probably because Andrews spent the entire match trying to see what he could get away with – which was very little, as Hesketh was on the mark every time. This allowed Flash into the match, and the finish only came while Hesketh was giving Andrews yet another admonishing, and Gumble entered the ring to bring down Flash with a Savate Kick. Andrews looked annoyed, but launched a flying elbow at Flash, and made the pin. *** As Andrews was announced as the winner, he stormed over to Gumble, and launched him into the guard rails. He followed up with kicks, elbows and forearms, leaving a stunned Gumble bloodied [B](C+)[/B] *** Andrews stormed backstage, where Hernandez looked on, asking him whether he had clamed down yet. Andrews got right in Hernandez’s face, telling him he should butt out like he promised, and wait until he’s got his title back. Gumble interfering in his match could cost him the title that he claimed was rightfully his, and he will not accept that. As Andrews stormed off, Hernandez breathed out gently, wondering if he should get some chill pills [B](B+)[/B] *** Rick Sanders and Joss Thompson cut an interview hyping their tag match, Thompson not seeming overly enamoured with his partner. Sanders saw this, and told the youngster that this was his one opportunity, and he wasn’t going to mess it up. Sanders stormed to the ring as Thompson shook his head, asking himself if it was just him, or was Sanders trying to impress Easy Emma [B](C+)[/B]? [COLOR="blue"]Frankie Perez and Mathew Gauge (c) beat Joss Thompson and Rick Sanders[/COLOR] to retain the FWE Tag Team Titles in 22.43 [B](B)[/B] -Mathew Gauege was surprisingly the star, although there was a lack of selling from both teams. I wasn’t too surprised that Sanders ended up quite tired, as this was his longest match for a while, and he really seemed to put his all into it. Still, Mathre Gauge and Perez have developed into a good looking team, and it was Perez who pinned Sanders after a Perfect Parity. *** Sanders walked away from the ring looking disgruntled, when Emma got up to see him. She asked him if they still had a deal, and a smile broke over the former owner’s face, saying they did, and he’d see her later [B](B-)[/B] *** Main Event hype – Hugh de Aske did all the talking, and as he lost to Mainstream Hernandez last PPV, and Alicia Strong the PPV before that, it came quite easily to him [B](C+)[/B] [COLOR="blue"]Mainstream Hernandez and Alicia Strong beat Enforcer Roberts and Hugh de Aske[/COLOR] in 23.31 [B](B+)[/B] -We decided that we’d let everyone hit their signature moves here, to make sure that the crowd went away happy from what could have been a disaster. Alicia mimicked Hernandez’s Appariton #14 for stereo hits on Roberts and de Aske, Hernandez pinning his victim, Enforcer Roberts. [I]Overall Rating B-[/I]

[eayragt]

Phew. It could have been a disaster, but it wasn’t. Sure, it was basically an elongated show rather than a PPV, but we tried to take advantage of the situation by giving Rick Sanders more of a role, and it was only the opening match that dragged. The sell out crowd of 10,000 all stayed, and their future discount only knocked me back $2,100, which will do. *** Our PPV pulled in 1.68 – an increase of 0.31 on The Grind. Lets just hope I keep them after my failed promises. We also had a record Unleashed rating of 4.33 – and we’ve cleared into C+ territory in our home area. USPW sit on D+. *** So, how did my OLLIE two do? Well, Plague teamed up with Bart Biggz for a win, but Greg Gauge’s Campeon de Universal reign ended at the hands of Marcos Flores. In fact, three OLLIE titles changed hands, with Ultra Atlantis winning the Mexican Title, and Arthur Dexter Bradley, Miguel Dominguez and Raul Sanz Jr winning the trios title. Los Phoenix retained the Tag Titles. *** I notice that next month my PPV is scheduled for week one. Let’s just move that till week four until I work out where it will be. Not intending to make the same mistake twice. *** We offer Joss Thompson the contract extension he deserves (over doubling his contract)… but he wants more. *** It’s a slight tweak in the product, as I up Traditional and Daredevil from very low to low. Still, my key feature is Modern, with heavy mainstream influences. *** Rising from the ashes… the devoidness of women’s wrestling in Japan has gone on long enough, so I’ve imported a new promotion – [B]5 Star Wrestling[/B] (5SW). Starting out much like the defunct 5SSW, but with a lower prestige, and more of a Modern / Cult influence, with nods towards Tradition, Mainstream and Daredevil. More importantly, they only run two shows a week, and have a wealthy investor, who’s kickstarted them at $750,000, which is not bad for a company which ranges from popularity E+ to D in Japan. I still expect them to leak money big time. *** Joss Thompson gets his contract extension, and is joined by a wrestler returning to FWE. *** I renew my Unleashed TV contract. The network offered a four year extension, but I’m sure I’m still rising, so keep to one season, keeping my options open. If in four months I have no TV deal, I’ll be regretting this. *** Chance Fortune wins the TCW Arena Championship from Raul Darkness. Fortune is a reasonable performer, but just can’t break into TCW’s overcrowded top tier. *** Mayan Idol completes the clean sweep of MPWF honours, winning their… Main Title (nope, can’t spell it). Amazingly, he still holds the Tag and Trios title, having won both in 2007. Yes, that’s three years ago. His constant ally, The Magnificent Mark also co-holds both titles, while Spanish Superfly (who he’s just taken the… Main Title off) is the third Trios partner. *** It’s relationship day, and Steve Gumble has made friends with Rudy Velasquez at DaVE (which is odd, as Rudy’s one and only FWE match was with Gumble), while at CZCW James Prudence is taking pot shots at Brendan Idol’s new rumoured pop star gimmick.

[B]FWE Presents… Unleashed [/B]from the Mid Atlantic *** Easy Emma opens the show, and demands that Plague comes out. She asks for an apology from him from missing The Lead, but it’s not forthcoming. She asks why he should be allowed to keep his title, and his answer is that “I am the champion – I am the best”. Emma says that if that’s the case, he will have no problem, with a match with Andrews at The Result Show, refereed by Farrah Hesketh. Plague said it was no problem, and rolled from the ring, but Emma said that she had one more condition. As Aaron Andrews was the man who lost a title shot, it is him who will decide what match it will be. Aaron Andrews music hit, and tore Plague apart verbally for letting down the company he represented last week. He let him know that by the end of the match, he’d know his fate [B](A)[/B] [I]Plague was a little underwhelming in this angle, but it was probably because both Andrews and Easy Emma were on scintillating form.[/I] [COLOR="Blue"]Steve Gumble, Enforcer Roberts and Mohammed beat Steve Flash, Jimmy Cox and Kashmir Singh[/COLOR] in 8.34 [B](B-)[/B] -Flash’s one off win against Parker last week did not start a new run – but then again, two of these heels have graced the big two in the US. Gumble took out Singh with a Savate Kick for the win. *** Mainstream Hernandez strode into an office backstage, and said that he shouldn’t have been surprised to see Rick Sanders there. Sanders claimed to be lending a supportive ear – who else has experience of running a wrestling federation ([I]Shh, Hesketh, he’s not asking you[/I])? Hernandez told Sanders that everyone knew that he was just trying to get into the good books of Easy Emma – even her, and she was just taking advantage. Sanders strode past Hernandez, telling him that he shouldn’t be so skeptical – but he enjoyed being taken advantage of last time, so maybe it’s worth it.

Considering where this show was from, it’s been pretty good top to bottom. Rick Sanders came out to support Hernandez, which quite clearly distracted The Grind winner, so much so that the two of them got into a pushing match. The ref (Baby Jamie - although we used Hesketh’s name today, we didn’t pay her) ordered Sanders away, having to forcibly push him away. Which was all the distraction that Joss Thompson needed to join his partner, hitting the double team on Hernandez, allowing Greg to make the pin. *** Hernandez rolled out of the ring, staring backstage after Rick Sanders, while Greg and Joss celebrated in the ring, their partnership unbroken [B](B)[/B] [I]Overall Rating B[/I]

Nice show! I’m sure that’s the best that I’ve run outside the South East and West. A sell out of 2,000 people saw it too. *** Unleashed dips slightly to a 4.30 *** Good news, as Plague’s broken ribs have healed, and we should see him back in action soon. *** As the BHTOWG tour draws to a close, tourist Masked Cougar loses the Openweight Title to Tadakuni Toshusai. That leaves him two weeks to lose the Junior Tag Titles. *** Mainstream Hernandez signs a new contract – only Andrews and Roberts are paid more now. *** T-Rex and Ultra Atlantis from a scary looking team at MHW. In the hardcore environment, they should be able to get over their lack of ability. *** Mathew Gauge extends his DaVE contract, while Greg extends his OLLIE one. *** Brendan Idol’s new contract has him moving up my earners list, which is quite scary given that I’m about to give him an awful gimmick. *** Hito Ichihara is revealed as the man behind 5SW, as he looks for a new booker. *** Something very strange happens. USPW pull out a show with two good matches (Joss Thompson defeating Warlord Agony and Eric Tyler retaining the USPW World Title against Valiant), pull off a “C” rated show (which they have been doing since April), and after dropping down three years ago, they rise back up to Cult status! Their booker Eric Tyler is a genius, as this is a task that I don’t think anyone not named JSilver could have pulled off. *** American Elemental returns from injury, and has a new TCW PPA contract to his name. *** Charlie Thatcher leaves his jobbing job at TCW (three wins in the last 30 months), and they approach Mainstream Hernandez and Hugh de Aske to replace him. *** Hito Ichihara starts sending out offers, and that includes FWE workers Otsune Tsumaru, Fuyoko Higa and DEVIL Karube *** USPW’s first show back at Cult is USPW Declaration of Independence, run from the Mid South. It sucked most of the way – until Eric Tyler and Hugh de Aske lit up the place, Tyler winning in a “B-“ rated affair. *** Brett Biggz 11 year association with SWF is over – he leaves as a 4 time tag team champion (with Bart), and 3 time Shooting Star champion. *** Trent Shaffer joins NOTBPW. It’ll be PPA, and he’ll probably leave 4C, but considering the entire reason that I signed him was to trade with NOTBPW, this is a blow. *** At BHOTWG Sword of Destiny, Optimus picks up a three month Spinal injury in defeat to Sensational Dragon, which may finally call an end to his career which has won him ten Burning Junior Championships and three Best of the Super Juniors wins (although nothing since 2008).

Sweet! Good to see the computer respecting Tyler's wrestling intellect. Even if he is only booking himself in the main event of everything.
