Lethal Dosage Wrestling: The Challenge

I’ll let you guess what I misread the headline “Jesse Christian Returns” as. It gave me a laugh, anyway.

Welcome to the Coastal Zone has had worse shows than that.[/color] [COLOR="Navy"]- An $883 profit leaves us with just shy of $1000 in the bank, and thus a $4000 budget for our next show, which is actually looking quite a cheapie.[/color] [COLOR="Blue"]- Then it dawned on me that we’d booked precisely nothing for it. Ooops. Oh well, easily rectified with a few well-placed posters. Like this one:[/color] [b]Next Month[/b]: [center][quote][u]Lethal Dosage Wrestling: South of Heaven[/u] [i]Friday, February, Week 3.[/i] [i]At the Weston Gymnasium[/i] Card: In the main event, [b]Rex Reeves[/b] defends his Lethal Dosage Championship against two men who’ve both tried to grab the gold in singles competition before. Reeves triumphed over both singly, but can he beat [b]Ash ‘Nemesis’ Campbell[/b] and [b]Xavier Reckless[/b] in a triple-threat match? After Rex Reeves fired his manager [b]Ginko Kuroda[/b], many thought that the suspiciously-similarly-named [b]KURODA[/b] would also disappear. This has failed to happen. What will the mysterious masked (wo?)man get up to in March? Back in January, Super Sonic’s [b]Xtreme Invasion Force[/b] took LDW by… heavy drizzle, as they stormed onto the scene and announced they were taking over. However, [b]The Guild[/b] have accepted a quest to save their kingdom from this invasion - despite the fans’ wishes to the contrary. Who’ll come out on top at South of Heaven? Furthermore, [b]The Dungeonmaster[/b] himself will take to the ring, to do battle with the leader of the XIF, [b]Super Sonic[/b]. Too long ago for most wrestling fans to remember, [b]The Lost and The Damned[/b] claimed that the man behind their quasi-religious devotion would arrive in LDW. He failed to do so. Lots of times. Will South of Heaven prove any different? And what’s going on between the cultists and [b]Head Kicker[/b]? In a desperate attempt to get on the card, [b]Stretch the Chicken Boy[/b] and [b]Drunken Dragon[/b] will team up to take on [b]Hyperformance[/b]. [/quote][/center]

First off, he's the Dungeonmaster, he's GOD of the world. I should know, I've been one, 15 year D&D player here. ;) WHAT DID YOU MISREAD THAT RETURN AS?! I CAN'T FIGURE IT OUT!

Jesse Christian Returns = Jesus Christ Returns....

Painful ones. Super Sonic claimed that his [B]Xtreme Invasion Force[/B] had clearly proven otherwise, but Dungeonmaster said that was merely to lure Sonic into a false sense of security.

Ash Campbell (who was incapacitated at ringside at the time of the pin attempt) crawled over while Reckless was fighting back, and tried a sneaky pin attempt but [B]Head Kicker[/B] hit the ring, in a mood to kick some heads. In the end, the referee threw the match out, then high-tailed it out of the arena as all kinds of crap hit the fan.

[B]Ash Campbell[/B] was frantically (but quite easily) avoiding [B]Head Kicker[/B]’s kicks to the head as he ran around the ring trying to escape him. After a while, generic eerie music hit the PA, and everyone stopped (except Campbell, until he’d run right around the ring and straight into the back of Head Kicker) and turned their attention to the ramp where a strangely familiar figure in a really cheap and crappy mask slowly walked out. DeCipher and Spirit immediately ran to the bottom of the ramp and knelt before him as he approached the ring with a microphone and one of those weird artificial voicebox things that Kane used to have. “Wrestlers of Lethal Dosage Wrestling. We are gathered here today to learn a very important lesson. A lesson of power. A lesson of one’s place in the world. A lesson of knowing one’s role, shutting one’s mouth, and doing as one is damn-well told. You see…” he begins fiddling with his mask, as [B]Norris the Ninja[/B] and [B]The Wizard[/B] arrive from the back, “when you step into this arena... you’re in a special place. A place where there are no rules other than mine. Nothing is possible, or indeed, impossible, unless I say so. Nothing is fair, nothing is right, and nothing is just. You’re in my dungeon, bitches…” more fiddling, until he gives up and just rips it off. “And I’m your Dungeonmaster!” The fans boo heavily, as you would if you’d just had to sit through an hour of this crap. Ash Campbell, followed soon after by [B]Hyperformance[/B] (who’d arrived earlier but just sat and watched), [B]Stretch [/B](entering from the crowd) and the [B]XDW crew[/B] all try to attack the DM, but the joint forces of The Guild, Head Kicker and The Lost And The Damned - reinforced by [B]KURODA [/B] (yup, (s)he's a bad guy) who appeared from under the ring, manage to hold them back long enough for him to escape.[/COLOR] [b]Rating:[/b] F+ [b]Notes:[/b] [i]Waaaaaaaaaaagh!

I knew I should’ve just made the last angle a short one *cries*.[/i] [center]-=-[/center] [COLOR="Blue"]- $2,025 spent on workers makes this the cheapest ever ‘big show’ we’ve had, but also the worst. Still enough for a 0.4% increase to finally take us over 5%, and up to F popularity in the Tri-State. But - as we proved just last month - we can do far better for far cheaper. It all comes down to balancing entertainment for the readers with entertainment for the little e-fan dudes who come to our TEW shows. Unfortunately, this show almost certainly failed on both fronts :D[/color] [COLOR="Navy"]- Overall we lost $250 on Piano Interlude (I still can’t believe it ended up being called that. Thanks, Manowar!), which leaves us with $750 in the bank. So it wasn’t such a huge disaster after all - that’s by far the most we’ve ever had in the bank after a major show for quite some time. [/color] [COLOR="Blue"]- Thomas Morgan won his first ever title this month, beating Joey Poison to become 4C Champion. It was also the best match 4C have had since the game began, at C-. He only worked one show, but he’s still technically an LDW Alumni...[/color] [COLOR="Navy"]- Cal Sanders has changed his style to be more of a Super Junior, which suits us fine.

He demanded that the referee restart the match, because Campbell won so abruptly that Norris didn’t have time to interfere.

[QUOTE=MaxxHexx;214354]That title change had me going...so excited and then so sad...[/QUOTE] Bah! Weakling! The Rex Effex just rolls on and on. And that's up there D with truly great hotshot booking. With a brilliant restart rule. My run in didn't have time to prepare. Heh! I hotshotted a title once but never *back* to the original champion. Makes me think that Ash Campbell just might be getting some interest from other companies and is too over to stay with LDW. And there is no way you were getting an E with that abomination of an F- between the Wonderous Wizard and the stinky yardtard Reckless. (Or Rexless coz he's SO not in Rex' Realm.) I find it impressive that with that 8 minutes of scripted tripe you still managed an E-. Truly that is the Dungeonmaster's Dungeon!

[B][U][SIZE="4"][center]-May 2008-[/center][/SIZE][/U][/B] [COLOR="Navy"]- We were looking into the possibility of signing Jay Chord, but the amount he wanted would have doubled our outgoings whenever we used him, so we decided against it... He’s gone on tour with INSPIRE instead, about as far from LDW as possible.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Blue"]- Sticking with the contracts theme, this month is ‘Contract Extention Month’ for all but the XDW crew. We didn’t bother renewing Ben Williams’ contract because he never does anything half the time (and does it badly the other half). Of the ones we did renew (everyone else), most have had rather large payrises. Where the basic pay at the start was $100, it’s now $150 for most people, $175 for selected individuals (including Dungeonmaster unfortunately), and DeCipher is now earning Special Attraction money (the same pay bracket that Angel and Ash get). We haven’t been using him that much of late, so I guess that’s ok. Thought it’s likely this’ll be the last contract we can afford to give him at this rate.[/COLOR] [COLOR="Navy"]- You might want to strap yourself in.

The fans go ballistic, as the exiled Angel reappears in LDW for the first time since September “See, homes, I remember a similar threat last year. That I couldn’t come back while you were still champion? So… I guess that since you lost the title for seven minutes last month, that means I get seven minutes worth of pain to beat into you? But not now… no, no. Not now… how about next month, at the King of the Dark Match? See, I COULD come back to retain my crown, winning an entire tournament in seven minutes?

You know, if I had to come up with an angle to freshen up the Dungeonmaster, I'd have him somehow get "demoted" from Dungeonmaster (either by his own people turning on him or by some sort of Dusty angle maybe), and then he'd take up the character of "twink" (to those not in the know, a twink is someone who min-maxes their character to obscene levels in an attempt to gain as much power as possible). He would be a twink in order to eventually regain the mantle of Dungeonmaster. Just thinking out loud, though . . . :D

Head Kicker es muy beuno! I'm happy to see him win the King of the Dark Matches.

[QUOTE=MaxxHexx;215217]3? Kick to the head, the other kick to the head, and then what?

To add to my earlier suggestion, Dungeonmaster could be renamed "Red Mage", hahaha! :D

And to freshen up Drunken Dragon I propose.... Sober Dragon: The Rehabbing Ninja
