I was really tempted to import this, but the story for the first one was fairly incomprehensible, and that was when I understood the language they were speaking. So, I decided against it.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=mlb&id=2326042 I can't imagine this ending well.

Sorry, but that's now my finish.

http://ds.ign.com/articles/687/687241p1.html So cool.

Here, let me explain by augering my tongue into your mouth.

Gah! My eyes!

Thanks for the comments, Bruce. The feedback is greatly appreciated.

LDP rolls twenties.

So Stryke, I take it you really like the arcade.

What a card. I wasn't banking on a Submission Match, per se, but hell, I'll make it work. Great job, Z.

Cricket's great. I watched quite a bit of it when I visited London, and wish someone here in the States would broadcast the sport.

They're before even my time, I'm afraid. I'm pretty sure I was just some JL punk when Hardy and Funyon were wrapping up their illustrious careers.

Barely.

Mainly, he's timid. He'll ask the tough questions, but he'll cower when a wrestler takes offense to one of them.

Ben Hardy is the most popular choice.

"No." --------------------------------------- "We just lost Watson." "He came here, we wanted him." --------------------------------------- "As if the computer...sucked everything in..." "Sucked! Let's go with that word, movie."

Shenmue was great. And so is this promo.

Hooray for IL! I call opening promo.

Stop jobbing and I'll stop doing it. And if it was done to further the feud, the ending works. I had feared that that match would be the end of it.

Whoops, didn't realize that was your match. My apologies. But now I'm morbidly curious about what the original finish was.

Michael Cross vs. Ced Ordonez Cross obviously did a bit of research into Ced's character and the SWF in general before writing his match, which is a really good sign. The story with Cross being a bit over-anxious and inexperienced and Ced taking advantage of it is very well written. Lots of cringe-inducing strikes up until the very end, when Cross finally manages to put Ced down with not one but two devastating finishers in quick succession. Terrific debut match, Michael. You definitely have a bright future ahead of you here. Bruce Blank vs. Akira Kaibatsu Haha, great bit before the Death Match with the referees collectively passing the buck to poor Ced, and a terrified Ordonez coming out to the ring in Bomb Squad gear. Cool entrance for Akira, as he not only finally comes out to some music but is also bedecked in what must be the most awesome street clothes for any SWF wrestler, ever; samurai armor. I kinda wished he would have kept it on, though. Not one to be outdone, Blank rolls in on his restored truck, driving it with one hand and drinking a beer with the other. Fantastic start to the match, as Akira keeps the arm portion of the armor on and using it to add a little punch to a Flying Clothesline off the top of the cage. Kaibatsu takes it to Bruce and drags him to the ring, where Blank finally stops the assault with a well-timed Hardcore Title block. Both men trade blows with the barbwire-wrapped title until the blood flows freely from gaping wounds on their body. Beautiful imagery with Akira slamming his boot into Blank's face and sending blood spraying everywhere. I appreciate the detailed description of Blank's horrible electrocution, and again when Bruce surprise Akira and sends him into the cage. Nice bit with Blank trying to get an advantage on Akira by taking his mask, only for it to backfire on Bruce in dramatic fashion. A furious Akira slams Bruce repeatedly into the cage and follows up the assault with the Divine Wind, but Blank somehow manages to kick out. With the fifteen minutes coming to a close, both men desperately try to finish each other off...but fail, as the cage explodes. However, in a brilliant bit of strategy, Blank manages to grab Ced and use the shielded referee to defend himself from the blast somewhat. Completely unshielded, Akira takes the full force of the blast, and as such is helpless when Blank makes the cover and takes the pinfall. Fantastic, brutal match that exceeded my high expecations. Very, very well done Bruce. Jay Hawke vs. Wildchild King and Pete throughly build up the importance of the match and the tension between Hawke and WC before this highly-anticpated matchup. Nice chain wrestling to start, which comes to a dramatic end when Wildchild backflips out of a Backslide and cracks Jay in the chin with a Running Kneelift. Cool spot with Hawke going for a Backdrop and WC nearly taking him by surprise with a Carribean Cutter. Wildchild simply runs circles around Jay for a while, avoiding all of his attacks while delivering a few of his own. That is, until, Hawke catches him off guard with a Running Dropkick and follows it up with a Corkscrew Plancha. Jay takes over from there, working over WC's shoulder and attempting to pull him into the Wing Span, only for Wildchild to reach the ropes. Frustrated, Hawke goes for a Double Axe Handle, which is countered by a timely Standing Dropkick. WC tries to follow it up with a Flying Forearm, but Jay reverses it into a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker and locks Wildchild into the Rings of Saturn. However, when Wildchild begins inching towards the ropes, Jay releases the hold, slams his knees into WC's shoulders, and takes him up for a Superplex. WC fights out of it and blasts Hawke in the face with an Enziguri, leading into a flurry of quick offense from the Carribean Cruiser. Jay brings it to a quick end when he pulls Harrington in front of him to block a Leg Lariat, knocking him out and allowing Hawke to try and blast WC in the face with the International Title. No such luck, however, as Wildchild dodges it and hits Jay with the Carribean Cutter for the three count...with no referee there to make it. The ref comes to just in time to see Hawke assault WC with the International Title, insantly ending the match with a disqualification. Justifiably frustrated, WC compresses Jay's neck with the Wild Ride before exiting the ring in a huff. Honestly, I don't care for the ending, but everything leading up to it is terrific. Great work, Jay. Clusterfuck 2006 I apologize, but I can't do play-by-play for this whole thing. Suffice to say, it was an amazing Clusterfuck. The action flowed well throughout, the commentary was very funny and informative, and the end was beautifully done. Fantastic job, Muzz. Congratulations. I'm already looking forward to our match. =)

"Ident!" "That's a shame, maybe you need a poly-vinyl coating."

Well, if their goal was to make Cena look pathetic, they've succeeded.

Can a World Title match go down with any kind of ref interference these days? Ever?
