The mysterious 8 month contract.

[eayragt]

So, does an 8 month contract exist in this game? ... No? When did Shawn Gonzalez leave CZCW because he was too big for them in your game? September? When did he join? January? How long was he there for? ... Eight months? So, confirmed by looking at his successor, bookers for feds under National sign eight month contracts. Why? Who knows. Just Adam. Wondering aloud. An oddity that I noticed. Hmmm.

[Warrior of Truth]

Was it at the start of the game? If you start the game, all the contract times are randomized so it is possible to have any length of contract. Did he sign with them after the game started or was he there from the beginning?

Sam told each man that they would feature in the Main Event at the International Challenge, and he wanted them to nominate a tag team and singles competitor before tonight’s Main Event, when he would announce the randomly selected match ups. He also demanded that all four teams behave… which led to each captain saying that they would only if allowed to by their opponents [B](B+)[/B] [B][CENTER]Match #1: Art Reed and Mick Muscles vs Dark Truth [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/ArtReed.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/MickMuscles.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/USPW_Declaration-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/TravisCentury.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/SayedAli_eay.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/B] Art Reed and Mick Muscles kept momentum up for the Canadians, although they had a little assist from Team Sublime arguing with Travis Century, exposing Dark Disciple for a Bulldozer Powerbomb from Mick Muscles. [COLOR="Blue"][B]Art Reed and Mick Muscles defeated Dark Truth[/B][/COLOR] in 7.41 [B](C)[/B] Travis Century looked questionably at Team Sublime, who revealed that they had a match with Dark Truth at International Challenge – and they had better be ready [B](C-)[/B] Bruce the Giant was shown speaking to Mr Patterson, asking him if he would be ringside to support his colleagues later. Patterson said he wouldn’t – he was doing his business on his on now. He added that Bruce better put him down as their singles entrant, as there was no way he was going to team with the either of the other two [B](B-)[/B] [B][CENTER]Match #2: Ekuma vs Mr Patterson [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/Ekuma.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/USPW_Declaration-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/DannyPatterson-1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/B] Ekuma tried to show Bruce the Giant that he’s made a mistake by not picking him. As Mr Patterson took three minutes to hit a Choke Slam, it seemed that he failed. [COLOR="blue"][B]Mr Patterson defeated Ekuma[/B][/COLOR] in 3.06 [B](D-)[/B] KC Glenn was shown going up to The People’s Team backstage, asking if they were involved in the battle royal at International Challenge, which Datsun confirmed they were. Glenn asked if they could work together, and Datsun said it wasn’t quite as easy as that, with Davids being slightly less blunt in pointing out there was only one winner, and teaming up wasn’t an option [B](D+)[/B] As Alicia Strong, Cherry Bomb and Amber Allen made there way to the ring Raven Robinson snickered off to one side, pointing out how Cherry Bomb was relying on Americans to make up her team. Cherry had to be restrained by her colleagues, as Robinson swaggered away, calling over her shoulder that no Americans respected her, not even her teammates [B](C)[/B] [B][CENTER]Match #3: Alicia Strong, Cherry Bomb and Amber Allen vs Raven Robinson, Gorgon and Joanne Rodriguez [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/AliciaStrong.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/CherryBomb_alt2.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/AmberAllen-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/USPW_Declaration-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/RavenNightfall_alt1.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/Gorgon.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/JoanneRodriguez_alt1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/B] At one point this match became a two on two match as an angry Cherry Bomb pulled Raven Robinson from the ring apron and threw her into the crowd. Belle Bryden, on commentary, suggested that none of these ladies deserved a title shot, and she had nothing to be scared of. It was Amber Allen who surprisingly picked up the victory, pinning J-Ro while Strong and Gorgon faced off. [COLOR="blue"][B]Alicia Strong, Cherry Bomb and Amber Allen defeated Raven Robinson, Gorgon and Joanne Rodriguez[/B][/COLOR] in 7.36 [B](C-)[/B] Tom Gilmore and Steven Parker were shown backstage… shaking hands? It looks like Team Canada are showing some unity [B](B)[/B] [B][CENTER]Match #4: Savage Fury (c) vs Daniel Reed and Amazing Firefly in a non title match [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/TribalWarrior.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/Java.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/USPW_Declaration-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/DanielFrancis.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/AmazingFireFly_alt.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/B] Reed and Firefly didn’t really work too well together… oh. Hmm, that’s not too good. Bruce was at ringside to support, but he could do nothing about Firefly being flattened by a Head Hunter Special. [COLOR="blue"][B]Savage Fury defeated Daniel Reed and Amazing Firefly[/B][/COLOR] in 6.23 [B](D)[/B] Nicky Champion cut a promo backstage when Enygma and Jumbo Jackson came up, telling them to get it out of their system. He made both men promise that when the match ends they put this behind them, which both men reluctantly agreed on [B](B+)[/B] [B][CENTER]Match #5: Nicky Champion vs Marc Speed [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/NickyChampion_alt.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/USPW_Declaration-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/MarcSpeed.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/B] You know, maybe Marc Speed isn’t cut out for a run at the Main Event. And I know it’s a clash of styles but he didn’t blow the world away with his match against Sean Deeley last week. He just could lock on any of his moves and eventually gave up and struck a firm low blow for the DQ. [COLOR="blue"][B]Nicky Champion defeated Marc Speed[/B][/COLOR] in 7.41 by DQ [B](C)[/B] A furious Nicky Champion pulled himself up, but was just met by Speed smugly grinning and extending his hand. Which was ignored [B](B-)[/B] Sam Strong came out to announce the match ups for International Challenge, and we have: [I]Nicky Champion vs Mr Patterson Rhino Umaga vs Steven Parker Daniel Reed and Amazing Firefly vs Jumbo Jackson and Marc Speed Mick Muscles and Art Reed vs Savage Fury Samoan Machine vs Bruce the Giant vs Tom Gilmore vs Enygma[/I] [B](B+)[/B] [B][CENTER]Match #6: Tom Gilmore and Bruce the Giant vs Enygma and Samoan Machine [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/AngryGilmore.jpg[/IMG] & [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/BrucetheGiant.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/USPW_Declaration-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/Enygma.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu230/eayragt/USPW%2010/SamoanMachine.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER][/B] I tried to get away with the odd face / heel combination… and failed. Didn’t help that this was one of the longer matches which we had for a while as well. And it was a huge upset, with Samoan Machine hitting a Samoan Drop on Bruce the Giant and making the pin for the victory. The fact that he had been attacked by Savage Fury moments earlier and Gilmore was being attacked by Jumbo Jackson is neither here nor there… [COLOR="blue"][B]Enygma and Samoan Machine defeated Tom Gilmore and Bruce the Giant[/B][/COLOR] in 17.22 [B](C+)[/B] After the match… well, we had a lot of people in the ring. Nicky Champion and Mr Patterson stayed out of it, neither of them on best terms with the rest of their team, but we got bodies flying everywhere, finishing moves, and carnage [B](B)[/B] [I]Overall Rating C+[/I] Not the greatest of shows, but I did my best to build of the PPV. Just not the ten man battle royale. Bruiser signs a new deal – actually cheaper than his previous one. I was going to let him go but made a late decision to keep him around, as he makes a half decent jobber. Harley Neill brightens mood out back… how come it’s my jobbers that are good to have around backstage. Still, no bad thing s I guess… jobber tag team with Bruiser? Holy 24 year old up to an “A” in basics. I think I might just have to… Announced for [B]USPW International Challenge[/B]: Over the top battle royale for the Number One Contender to the USPW Unified Titles: Freddie Datsun vs Pain vs John Pathlow vs Jack Griffith vs Des Davids vs Sean Deeley vs Ekuma vs KC Glenn vs Giant Redwood vs Jared Johnson Over the top battle royale for the Number One Contender to the USPW Women's Title: Alicia Strong vs Cherry Bomb vs Amber Allen vs Raven Robinson vs Gorgon vs Joanne Rodriguez Team Sublime vs Dark Truth The International Challenge: Nicky Champion vs Mr Patterson Rhino Umaga vs Steven Parker Daniel Reed and Amazing Firefly vs Jumbo Jackson and Marc Speed Mick Muscles and Art Reed vs Savage Fury Samoan Machine vs Bruce the Giant vs Tom Gilmore vs Enygma
