Alright, another week, another update. Let's just dive right in shall we?
Nothing of interest happens in the two weeks until our show unfortunately, although Jack Euchre (WHo despite being edited, still insists on being called Euchre Jack) did give an interview. Unfortunately my image capture software wasn't working properly, and didn't save the picture. However, he just said that he enjoys the job, so nothing of interest anyway.
However, other than that it was an uneventful two weeks. So, instead let's simply get to the show.
So, first off we have our two "dark" matches during the preshow. These exist solely to warm up the crowd a bit, as well as give our lesser talent some experience.
The first real event is a squash match between Peaches and Melvin, Because I really don't like Melvin, and his momentum is so poor getting ruined won't even affect him too much.
Next up is Neonivek and Tyler teaming up to take that bounty offered at the end of next match. Their justification is Tyler is looking to get in with some of the better wrestlers, and Neonivek wants revenge for his defeat last week. For both, the bounty is just a nice bonus.
Segment 4 is Eastman, our Mr McMahon analogue, and owner of BTWF, doing what any good promoter who stars in his own show does; being a complete jackass. He summons Hoster and Jack to the ring, claiming he wants to see who is truely the best fighter. As he says this, the steel cage is lowered over them, and they're told it will be a "Steel Cage Quitters" match. It doesn't end until one of them gives into pain. For curiosity's sake I didn't assign a winner, which IIRC allows the Road Agent to choose.
Then we have the handicap match, where Stoner just barely manages to overcome Neonivek and Tyler. After that he goes to Eastman and demands a match against Stoner, with the unclaimed Title belt on the line. Eastman has no choice but to accept after Stoner has worked his way through half the roster.
So with that in mind, let's see how it actually plays out.
So, could be better, could be worse. As these are training matches more than anything, I really can't complain about the result, and they did get the crowd a bit warmed up. Next up is Peaches using Otto as a human rag-doll.
So, not a particularly great rating, but that's why it was set at the beginning. Perhaps that alliance angle will do better?
So, not much to complain about there. As usual Tyler and Neonivek are solid with the microphone, and Nelson gets by on his menace alone. However, the next match isn't that great.
Another match that is just meh. The fact that we didn't have much heat behind it didn't help either, but it was really just a filler match to begin with. The real meat is coming up.
Yes, Kenneth Eastman, our Mr McMahon character... can't play the part well. That's going to be.. problematic. Of course I can't fire myself, so I'll just have to grin and bear it.
A complete disaster. The wrestlers got tired, they weren't able to put together a good flow, the fans didn't like hardcore matches to begin with. I''ll admit I really fucked up here. But again, there's a reason risky matches like this aren't ever the main event. Speaking of....
So yeah, this match helped make up for the one before it, and moved the "Wrath of Sackman" storyline into it's final leg. Only one thing left in this storyline after all. CHecking the top 100 list, it currently sits as our #3 best match, behind Peaches v Tyler coming in at #2 and Tyler v Powerful Man at #1. So, quite pleased with that
So, despite the rocky start, we got off to a strong finish at least, and have set things up to wrap up the Stoner v Sackhead storyline. All in all not a great night, but not terrible either. There were several missteps, but that's bound to happen from time to time.
Exactly the same as last week. No I'm not saying exactly the same as in "Yeah pretty close, I mean, EXACTLY THE SAME. Well, at least it wasn't any worse I guess.
And with that, the stage is set for The Big One. Make sure to vote on who you think deserves to win The Big One.
