VIDEO GAME CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING aka VGCW, aka TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT, is a popular twitch show by Bazza87 aka Bazza McMahon where video game characters from varying franchises and backgrounds get into a wrestling ring and beat the hell out of each other, via the custom wrestler feature present in the WWE games. There's also plot. The plot is... basically middling grade crossover fanfiction, so basically in line with most wrestling plots, but similarly to most wrestling plots, it is oddly compelling.

Then again many people don't need a lot of motivation to watch Ganondorf beat the hell out of Zangief. Twitch chat is around, playing the role of the screaming crowd, something they do exceedingly well. Expect basically everything you expect from twitch chat traditionally. It airs every tuesday, and the woman's VGCW league, WVGCW, airs on.... thursdays? Maybe fridays. I don't keep up with it. It's on the same channel.

I'm not going to bother with any further explanation because by this point you are either all in and looking for links or think I'm a crazy person.

PARTICULARLY NOTABLE MATCHES!

Billy and Jimmy's introduction match, featuring such wonders as double hot tag, double rage, one of vegeta's few spectacular rage showoffs. Seriously, dude goes nuts. 19 minutes, going on 20.

Bowser Vs Protoman. Protomon has historically been one of the worse wrestlers, when he's not inexplicibly glitching the hell out of the game, including hovering a foot above the announcer table and phasing through the walls of the ring for no reason. Bowser is a powerhouse and a rather high end candidate for the strongest wrestler in the league. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS! 10 minutes, going on 11. Will feel like much longer depending on who you root for.

VGCW Wiki - Helpful for catching up on plots if you don't want to watch a week's worth of video game wrestling

VGCW stream, you can find past broadcasts here

Bazza, VGCW manager's twitter

Bryn, WVGCW manager's twitter.

Past VGCW broadcasts with the chat included. The best way to get up to speed with past broadcasts.

Past VGCW broadcasts. This guy was doing it before the above guy and has since discontinued. I believe he was the first widespread VGCW recorder, with that said, not everything is in here, many streams were played before someone started recording them. There's a good amount though.

It's on!

HAGGAR WON AND I AM SALTY but really it was a good match, Haggar is VGCW champion! That's it for the night!

EDIT: For anyone that's late, you can see tonight's broadcast on zylche's channel in the OP. He's likely uploading it as we speak.

I have browsed through the wiki a bit, and, uh...

PTW. By which I mean posting to wat

[Seriyu]

You're just going to have to trust me when I say this is awesome and not just something people watch on twitch to spite the league of legends streams (although judging by the chat at times that's a part of it too).

How to make wrestling interesting, right here.

[Seriyu]

No joke, I tried watching actual WWE after VGCW got me hooked and I was thoroughly unimpressed. Although I have to admit, I feel like if I came in earlier when all the crazy gimmick wrestlers were buzzing around I'd probably be more interested in it.

[Seriyu]

JUST A REMINDER, VGCW ON TONIGHT

IF YOU WANT TO SEE KNUCKLES FIGHT GANNON THEN WHO KNOWS MAYBE YOU'LL GET LUCKY AND SEE JUST THAT

OH WAIT IT'S LIVE AND MY STREAM VIEWER IS JUST MISBEHAVING

END

I really need to document past matches next week. BUT MY TERRIBLE MEMORY HAS BETRAYED ME, SO THAT HAS TO WAIT UNTIL THEN. You know this would probably be better suited for the OP, I'll have to do that next time.

Scorpion vs...



Mr Satan.

[Seriyu]

Yeah, him too!

EDIT: Jesus, hercule nailed airman pretty hard there.

EDIT2: THE THIRD GUY ALWAYS HITS THE OTHER TWO GUYS OUT OF PINS

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

EDIT3: wow goemon got man handled there

Wario is still a heavyweight I guess

NEW CHALLENGER(S): BILLY AND JIMMY FROM DOUBLE DRAGON

They're going up against Vegeta and Nappa in their debut match, we'll see how that works out! Nappa's kind've a beast, and while vegeta has improved a lot lately he's still not terribly impressive most of the time.

Nappa certainly seems intent on quashing their debut match!

nappa why are you attacking the ref stop he even reversaled you

THAT MATCH WAS AWESOME AND I'LL PROBABLY PUT IT IN THE OP SOMEWHERE WHEN IT GOES UP ON YOUTUBE

PTW

BOOO GABEN RIGGED IT (VGCW fact, none of the matches are rigged, but that doesn't stop people, INCLUDING ME, from getting all bent out of shape)

Annnd it's looking like it's about over for tonight, last match is on right now I think, it being a championship title match, but pretty sure it starts around 5 PM CST on tuesdays! If I can ever manage to catch WVGCW on I'll give a day of the week for that too, but I don't watch it so don't expect all the hullaballoo in the thread about it, by me anyway.

[Mictlantecuhtli]

The crowd is hilarious. Solid Snake next I think.

GANON v DUKE NUKEM

[Seriyu]

Op, it's the Ganon and Duke Nukem match they teased last time!

For those not far into VGCW yet, Ganon is a pretty big figure, has always done really well in matches, until he lost his championship belt, after defending it I think like, 4-5, maybe even 7-8 times, whereupon he started sucking, and nobody could defend the belt worth a shit. This was thought to be a curse by ganon to keep people from holding the belt. After someone manages to hold it for ganon's defense streak, the final match to break ganon's streak is with ganon himself. He wins, gets the belt back, breaks the curse, the belt returns to it's intended owner.

He fails to defend it after a single match against barkley. Around this time Ganon and Zangief go for tag team championship, win it, more drama happens between Gief and Ganon, with ganon blaming gief for his failures, and Ganon goes mega-hell (A heel is a "bad guy" in wrestling terms, as opposed to a "face" which is a good guy). Ganon is now back to his former glory, but also a huge asshole.

And here we are!

EDIT: Case in point. Duke has pulled off an amazing 3v3, where both his teammates went down in short order, then he immediately took out the other three on the opposing side, but by and large he doesn't do very well. Ganon's always done really well besides a few crazy fluke matches against really big dudes like, notably, bowser.

oh man the new security team is some final fantasy guys I don't know because I never bought a PS2

Also dark phoenix, I keep forgetting about that subplot.
