    The Finisher Thread

    Bah, this conversation needs more salt. It tastes a little whitebread to me. *The_Mak kicks out of everyone's finishers* Original, I know. But in this Sly and WC case, there are numerous reasons why WC's lionsault can be weaker -- Sly's weight advantage being the easiest off the top of my head. Common sense = not all that common.

    Ground Zero Predictions~!

    MAIN EVENT TRIPLE THREAT, WORLD TITLE BOUT, TWO OUT OF THREE FALLS Janus© vs "The Superior One" Tom Flesher© vs Toxxic Eh, who knows. This is the kind of stipulation that vexes writers sometimes... Drew Kelking it. TAG TEAM MATCH TAG TEAM TITLE BOUT 42nd Street© vs Andrea Montgomery & The Birdman Andrea and Birdman more than likely. Zach and SS have skills, no doubt, but I can't help the feeling that jobbing is in the stars for them. TRIPLE THREAT NUMBER ONE CONTENDER BOUT; SUBMISSIONS MATCH Jamie Drazon vs Ace Lezaire vs Dace Night Blah, not sure. It would be good to have an actual face in the main event, instead of three heels, but damnit, it's hard to pick against Muzz. I'll do it though because Dace should win this, if only to round out Z's ME and give me some traditional face/heel goodness. Friend turned foe, unstoppable rookie I couldn't beat, or cocky SOB I've beaten before. All these feuds work for me. SINGLES MATCH ICTV TITLE BOUT Johnny Dangerous© vs Landon "La Cucaracha" Maddix Poor Johnny's catching the shaft, in this thread. Well that's not going to change here. I say he loses by interference from Megan Skye and that leads to a grimey cage match, ICTV title on the line, in which the face must go over. The retirees clamor for it. SINGLES MATCH USJL TITLE BOUT Manson© vs "The Icon" Max King Manson, since I've seen his stuff more. HARDCORE MATCH HARDCORE TITLE BOUT Martin "Big Country" Hunt© vs Sean Davis Is Martin Hunt, Duran? That's the only 'Big Cunt' I know of, unless that was just a play on words, due to Hunt's nickname. SINGLES MATCH Ced Ordonez vs Munich Ced, more than likely. SINGLES MATCH ??? vs Candace Edwin MacPhisto... okay, the next best thing. Really, I'm better than you think, people. MALL BRAWL V Austin Sly vs "The Corona" Vladimir Everheart vs Edward James vs Petey the Irish Penguin vs Ryan Dustin vs ??? Dustin and Sly have been in a lot of match together lately. Question mark man is the unknown (but known) quantity, but I say the face Dustin goes over and uses that momentum to get back on track.

    The Mak is looking forward to a filthy and bloody steel cage match between Landon and Johnny. And if I don't get it I'll be unhappy. And you don't make retirees unhappy.

    A Chat Tooling Review by M. Francis Sorry fellas (and the wonderfully talented GOdrea), it was very funny, and the Sandwhich parallel had me chuckling, but I just wasn't digging the message of this one. The kid may have a problem admitting things, but hell, everyone does. You're pissed at him and his teeny-smoker-skater-looking-for-approval thing. I completely get that, but you made your point halfway through (three quarters at the longest). He's not dumb -- at least I don't think he is. When you made your point, you should've just ended it, cause he looks up to ya'll and chopping him down won't get him to see his faults, however amusing it was. The repeated 'I don't cares' and reverse psych had me literally laughing out loud (lol!) <---- I made a funny! Kayne puts it well when he says "we're all self-conscious -- I'm just the first to admit it." Kibs, you obviously have more life experience (age wise that is, as GOdrea has it over you in spades in other areas) than most of the people involved in the tooling, so, while it must be VERY annoying to see the kid act that way -- you should also be able to understand that it's what they do. Hell, I still do it (well not lately since I haven't been in chat) and I've got more experience than IL, Judge, Zed, or Austin more than likely, from what I know about them. It just irks you all that he wants to be 'down' when you see it as dumb kid shit. Being superior can't change him being young. Only getting older. It's a circle, cause while you may be right, he not going to let it end or learn, so you just have to deal or kick him . Just thought I'd give some perspective on the tooling, cause it came off as a school yard fight more than proving a point. A few exciting spots and I totally bought the nearfalls (IL poetry/drop out pot shots and Judge's amp), including Zed's false finish (paraphrased: Normally if you don't care you WON'T REPEAT IT!) I'd like to second WC's wouldn't it get boring, cause it did for me during the restholds, since they didn't go anywhere and just added to the chat length. Rating: ***1/2 bumped up to **** cause I loved the finish~! Comparable to the tooling of Johnny, but since I haven't seen this Rando tooling I can't give my opinion on where it is all time. I need to start coming to chat again, just so I can be around for some of this.

    How To Not Suck At This.

    I only find one issue with this article and that is saying that a -- as in the singular sense -- neck bump not be placed in the signature stat category. My stats have the cobra clutch suplex in them, and I'll defend that moves placement to my dying breath. It complements rolling germans and holds a certain amount of believability that lends itself to near fall situations. Plus, its legit enough to win a match, but reasonably kick out of, even chained behind two rolling germans. Tom, in particular, help me organize my stats early in the JL, but one thing I learned after his help, is that you must have moves that lend themselves towards an opponent writing offensive flurries, understandable comebacks, leading towards believable near falls. Multiple believable near falls. Moves or situational attacks that when lined together create suspense. I won't say I haven't noticed people tossing around headrops, but I maintain that one can give your character a depth -- or mean streak, if you will -- that is necessary.

    An SWF Enhancement Discussion...

    I could do one of those articles. I rule Flesher and Danny on the technical side of things... and I'm cocky enough to say it, even if it isn't true. I have been known to write a good technical match though, so I can do something on working moves, match construction, selling and overall atmosphere.
  11. I really liked it. Very different stylistically from the first two films, but a Potter fan at work proclaimed this is where the book series got darker and thusly, better. It seemed to move quickly through the Shrieking shack section, but I understood everything, and if I want to get all the dramah~ I'll have to read the books, which I haven't as of yet.

    PROMO: Standing

    This kid is scary. I was unsure if you guys should be doing a LMS match yet, because it's been built as the feds HIAC (it's ended about four careers), and you guys have plenty of time to drag out a feud, unless Kibs is retiring or something -- but I'll be damned if I don't like this promo and the LMS stip now.

    From The Vault: Danny Williams vs Mak Francis

    Surprisingly, Danny and I had similiar takes on this match. It's just that mine was flipped the other way and I had it go 3-2. Mak works the mat early goes for the ankle and gets popped for it, but scored an early fall on a pin combination, surprising everyone (1-0). Even though Danny's on the offensive, Mak tries to press, and they trade counters on some bombs (Germans and Dynamic Kick/Yakuza Kick) but Mak doesn't learn his lesson, continues to press even though he got lucky earlier -- Danny uses that to his advantage and hits a Dangerous Backdrop onto the bottom turnbuckle mid-match to swing it way in his favor (1-1). Mak's never the same after the backdrop driver, takes some basic moves of control from Danny (Doushime Sleeper while pushing the ropes away with his feet as Mak drags him for a break), but kicks out of the big moves (German, and maybe, can't remember which, a spike DDT or brainbuster, finally a powerbomb) and then stalls his ass off countering (On a spot we both thought up, Mak gets a Cobra Clutch, but Danny walks the ropes) or sandbagging out of the combo that beat him in the match just prior to this one (I can't remember the first move, a Powerbomb, followed by a Backdrop Driver). Danny expends too much energy trying to put Francis away and while trying to do this Mak gets a few bullshit suplexes out of counters (Railgun and German) that do no good -- a clutch Cobra Clutch suplex shakes Danny up, but doesn't get three. They're so tired that towards the end when they both go for their final flurry's, trading kick/elbow counters in an Austin/Michaels Wrestlemania vibe, they peter out... Finally, Danny hits a rolling elbow just as Mak a Yakuza kick, and they both take a ten count, on it (2-2). They have only a few minutes left so they get desperate and go for flash submissions, to get a quick tap, but they each counter the cross armbreaker... Mak gets lucky on a corner charge, gets the boot up and goes for a Victory roll, but Danny counters into his JL finishing submission (whatever it was, some kind of stepover hold) but Mak holds out in the final seconds (he was in the hold for a while) and we go to OVERTIME. Yes I played off (stole from) the Michaels-Hart Ironman... then I have Danny play Bret and catch him with a lucky superkick, to which he gets up from nearly before Mak and follow it up with a flush superkick for the win (3-2). I wish I still had the match, but it got deleted... so sad. The only problem was I REALLY rushed the finish. I even had a cool comment to take care of Danny no-selling the ankle (In his win after mine and the PPV), which he said would make for a better match btw us, by pointing out that in the first US title win, Danny was fine even though I attacked the ankle in my win, and he worked me by leaking false info about it, to catch me off guard and I got lucky on the roll-up out of a fujiwara. So, he decided to scrap that idea and work straight-up, but Mak only realizes he wasn't hurt during the beginning of the PPV match, hence, why he stops working the ankle after getting popped. Sadly, I lost, but I readily admit Danny's match was better and longer. It gave me some great ideas for my character wrestling wise, and helped me see how to execute some elements I tried in my match that he did better. Much props to Danny Williams.

    SS, if I were to come back, The_Mak would have to kill all competition and once again be the dominate force in the SWF barr-none... in other words stay the supreme JTTF. Internet cookie to whoever gets that one. Besides, it'd only give Zed a reason to say the Flyers are choke artists. But who's laughing now. I don't see many people watching the Tampa/Calagry cup series. The Flyers would have been big market ratings. And on a wholly seperate note, I hate all of you equally. M. "been hatin' ya'll since the '02" Francis P.S. Somebodies clearly been watching CZW. Best respect the Joker Driver, bitches.

    Best of 24 Poll 1

    The threat of Sayed Ali's sons getting mowed down was a real holy shit moment for season 2, which is why I voted for it, but the way Jack explained the towel torture in season one gave me goosebumps. He was stone-cold in his explaination. Honorable mention shout out to the Chase (officially a bad-ass after that) and the breaking of Stanton, because I wasn't sure if Palmer had the balls to order torture. Clearly it was necessary, but he'd ALWAYS been a by the books, on principle guy, in season 1.

    Do you know what really sucks. I never got to face you, Dub Cee. I maintain that you guys aren't as bad as the locker room thinks. So, if I ever get my lazy ass back to writing, I want to have a match against you. Make it happen, bitch.

    Bad Blood Main Event announced on radio ad

    Why worry about him. Jericho's got bullet proof heat and Christian doesn't. I know Jericho is Trips bitch, but bitter blood feuds lead to title shots for faces. It's a fact of life and normally they win. Eh, well see what happens, but Jericho/HHH has been on the back burners for a year or two now and might be interesting to see again.

    Bad Blood Main Event announced on radio ad

    Oh yeah, Jericho needs to get a man sized beatdown in the cage. With him bleeding like a stuck pig and Christian making out with Trish, then doing his chest slap taunt, rubbing Jericho's blood onto his stomach, while Tomko does his best original Kevin Nash impression.

    Bad Blood Main Event announced on radio ad

    This makes me think they'll go with Christian/Benoit. It makes perfect sense, if you ask me. Michaels does a run-in during Shelton/HHH, giving Shelton a third win and costing Trips a match that hurts his pride. HHH could win the match and then have Michaels attack, either works for me, but Shelton getting the win puts more heat on a HHH/Shelton match, down the line. Then next week they set up the HIAC. Bischoff could announce that the Cage match will be a #1 Contenders match, but more than likely X will just ask for a title match on the next show and get it after beating Jericho. Jericho/Christian have a Cage match, Tomko and possibly Trish interfer. Christian wins and goes on to face Benoit. Jericho then works his way back to Christian, by dealing with the 'problem solver'. Double ME it up and that way you protect Benoit and Christian. It gives Benoit a clean single win, Christian some ME level credibility and continues the X/Jericho feud without them actually having matches, so that Jericho can finally win whatever stip they want for the blowoff and THEN he has to finally get his revenge on Trish by putting her in the Walls. You can interchange the timing of revenge on Christian or Trish depending on which you think will get the biggest pop. I'm going with Trish in the Walls.

    Inside the Wrestler's Studio

    SWF Favorite Writer(s): Everyone says Edwin, so I'll forgo the obvious. Danny Williams, Chris Wilson, maybe a little Sacred on the side Favorite Promo(s): The entire promoWARS period (Chrissy Stardust most definitely), and getting mentioned in an Edwin promo after I used him for one in the JL. Favorite Match(es): Forget the obvious, which includes Danny's Ironman, too me anyway. TV: Z's fourway in the JL, Judge tapping out to a tickle, Edwin vs. Lerrin Breggan w/ JD as special ref in the original Canadian Death Match, because I thought there was NO way Edwin was pulling that one out. PPV: The J&R v W&D v Deja Vu TLC, SS showdown and Edwin v Thugg v Bo LMS, Edwin vs. Wilson, Wargames (just for the idea alone). I pretty much grew up on Edwin's championship run, and when I saw those matches I went, *wow* I'm gonna have to write against this guy... And just to push my own agenda, my first person Clusterfuck match... Strangler and King praised it's atmosphere like no other, and it STILL lost to TNT's match. Favorite Stip to Write: Ironman or ladder My Biggest Accomplishment: Getting the chance to almost hold all three JL titles at the same time or beating out Flesher's ICTV title run (the lone victory I have over him) and having Mark Stevens tell me he thought I was doing a really good job as ICTV champ I Regret That: Drew and I didn't get bumped in time to be in the original M7/Carnival incarnations. We deserved a shot at that, but for whatever reason it wasn't meant to be. I Wish: That I could outwrite Flesher once like Z did. Maybe get the World title, but I don't need that. Dream Matches Involving Yourself: A teacher student with Flesher. Singles match with Divefire and Tag match with Wilson. If I was bumped earlier I would have had to been booked in a match with Edwin in some form, even if it was just filler in the M7/Carnival feud, hence why I'm still upset about the goings on. I got to work with Sacred (!) @ Genesis and Thugg, no matter how brief it was. Dream Matches: I'd like to see this Landon Maddix kid go with Erek Taylor. Maybe I've Become Most Friendly With: Drew Kelk, no doubt about it. I Hope: To have Mak Francis meet a fitting end, if I ever wanted to write again. Personal Name (First name works, last name if you don't care): Kel Single: Yep. Have Most Trouble: Trying to become a Civil Engineer Favorite Things to Do: Run ball, watch WWE, Dry Humpin' in da club Most Recent Accomplishment: On an athletic trip with my team, playing pool recently with a chick, I've kinda wanted to hook up with and teaching her the finer points of a good pool stroke, upon her insistence. Best believe she had the ass. And we danced hardcore-serious dry humpin'-probably could have made me bust a nut-in the club. Most Recent Failure: Not being able to get a few of the other guys on the team to leave the room and not getting anywhere with said chick anyway, because she was literally talking to her boyfriend on the cellphone(while talking to me in the bed) while we're chillin' in her hotel room. Ouch, I am a safe cuddle bitch, or what? Eh, it's probably better that I stay friends with this girl anyway. As long as we can still get our grind on and be chill, there are other fish in the sea who aren't virgins (and all the problems that that entales) Favorite Bands: Bands? What the hell are those? Nah, kidding G-Unit, Jackson 5, N.E.R.D, the Roots, Black Eyed Peas, Evanesence (hope I spelled it right, because come on, I am black... you can't expect me to actually know their name) Favorite Book: Linden Hills by Gloria Naylor and suprisingly I want to get around to reading these damn Harry Potter books while on co-op, because I get bored at work and after catching those movies with my cousin, I kinda want to know the backstory. Favorite Movie: Scarface, Half Baked and too many more to write down Favorite Actor: Dave Chapelle, bitch! One Song to Listen to On Repeat: Past: Puff Mase and Biggie's 'Mo' Money, mo' problems', Jackson 5's 'ABC', and Jim Hendrix's 'Voodo Chile' Recent: Talib Kweli's 'Get By', Kanye West's 'Through the Wire', Prince's 'Musicology' and all of G-Unit's recent songs One Item You'd Save During A Fire: My own ass. Something You Want to Get Into To: I'd love to learn how to spin. Two of my friends are DJ's and I love music. I'd also like to learn the piano, or drums and breakdance well(which I'm trying to do as we speak) Biggest Regret/Mistake: Biggest Turn On: A nice ass. You can be black, white, hispanic or asian/pacific. Have Red, blonde, jet black or brunette hair, but if you have a nice ass and dance moves, or even just enough to grind with me on the actual fucking beat for christ's sake, you're good. Biggest Turn Off: A weak ass, oh yeah, stupidity too. If You Died and Went To Heaven, What Do You Want God to Say: "No, masturbation is not a sin. You may enter--"... wait... uh, I meant, ah, I'm going to hell. How About Going to Hell, Devil says: "Now that you're in hell, Kel, we've decided on your punishment. You will become rich and famous... get as many lap dances and have as much sex as humanly possible with Jennifer Lopez, but she'll eventually milk you dry, get you arrested and or cause your movie career to go in the toilet."
