Alright, so after a long hiatus, I'm back, gonna try to remember what exactly my plans were, but it could be a bit shaky right now. So for our next show, I'm gonna take a slight breather. Anyway, as we advance to it, a few interesting events occur.
The first is that TCW has recently been kicking the piss out of SWF, their shows usually being around 5 grade points better. As a result, TCW's TV slot has seen its ratings grow quite a bit, from averaging a tv rating of 6.8 to moving towards 7.1. SWF is still holding steady, but they're going on momentum if anything. However, it's still too early to tell if this is just a flash in the pan, or something bigger.
Second, the promotion Freedom Caribbean Wrestling, has entered into a state of hostilities between them, and rival companies Original Legends Deathmatch, and Devil Women. This means any sort of deal between them, such as worker sharing agreements, are much less likely to go through. Although this doesn't seem like much, it risks causing relationships to further deteriorate, and could lead to an all out war between the promotions. War means any worker who signs with one promotion MUST void his contract with the warring promotion. It also allows each promotion to use "Dirty Tricks" on one another to screw with each other's shows. This of course, would be good for us.
Third and lastly, by chance I checked the yearly awards and noticed this.
Yea, not biased in the least bit, are they.
But anyway, onto our first show in ages, well ages for us, the poor wrestlers have been in some sort of horrifying suspended animation as their world's time never moved, but who cares about that. Now first thign I notice is our Morale is still rather shit.
However, there aren't any real problems arising from it yet, so instead you all are just in a ordinary sucky workplace as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about. Onto the show.
Now last show was about the Sackman yet again defeating Sam by cheating, this time through bribing the notorious mercenary the SIlencer to do his bidding, so tonight Sam is going to get Silencer out of the way so he can have his final fight with Sackman. Thats said, here's tonight's lineup.
Now first off, you may notice how the final fight is labeled "Post" instead of "Segment". What this means is that it is considered to be "free" wrestling, and not part of the main show. Weather it does great or poorly, nobody will particularly care, however, it is a good way to train up some rookies in a real world situation. Now, we have your standard mix of individual matches started by arguments, as well as the leadup to the Main Event tonight. What I want to point out is that Sam has two more hurdles to declare himself free of Roberts. After Silencer is defeated, Roberts puts out an all takers bounty of Sam, in order to prevent, at any cost, a fair rematch from occurring. I'm not quite sure how I want to do that match, but I'll cross that bridge next update. If I can't think of anything interesting, I'll just shove him in a handicap match. Or channel Vince Russo and put something stupid on a pole.
But with this extraordinarily rusty plan put together (It's been a month and I've kinda forgotten some things about what I should be doing) Let's see how the match actually plays out!
So our first segment goes over about as well as you think. That is to say pretty damn well considering.
So yeah, a nice 25 rating on our opening segment, not too shabby for someone who hasn't touched the damn game in over a month. But I'm getting ahead of myself, after all, one good segment does not a good show make, no matter what Micheal Bay says with his amazing explosions and crap everything else.
And the hits keep coming! Jeez, I was not expecting this from these two. Perhaps they should have been the main event! Gonna have to check where that scores among our top matches, but it's gotta be up there.
As always, Peaches is completely comfortable with the microphone, netting oddly enough the exact same score as the previous segment. What are the odds on that. On that note I am getting slightly afraid I have my matches backwards quality wise.
Oh Jack, we really need to do something about that stamina of yours, especially if we intend to make you one of our title holders.
Ouch. Ok that match is why the first match's success put me off. THIS was supposed to be our first match, but I fucked the order of it up. Goddamnit.... Maybe I should start savescumming
So, that could have gone better, but it also could have gone worse. Fact is it was just average as far as our normal quality. All that's left is for them to talk a bunch, and we're done!
So yeah, both were merely competent in all things tonight, really I blame myself for getting the order of the first match wrong, but that's in the past now, so, let's pull that final score up!
So yeah, another mediocre night of wrestling, however even if we keep doing it at this level, we'll be fine for awhile, as our popularity still has awhile to catch up with our quality. That said it's a good thing that match was done in the post-show, because damn was it an awful one.
So yeah, my first time back and I'm clearly a bit rusty, but we didn't do any worse than usual, so that's a plus. However I did check, and the Brook Tyler vs powerful Man match was infact our best match ever, beating out the old record holder of Peaches v Brooke by 4 points. SO I'm going to add that to my list of "Good Combinations". Course we can't wrestle them together again for awhile, or it would risk getting stale, but it is something to keep in mind.
Anyway, Hopefully I can keep from allowing this type of break to happen again, expect updates each Saturday at the least, and likely bonus updates throughout the week if I get a TEW itch, but definatly each Saturday at least.
