King Cucaracha

If the person here was me, then I totally agree. And it's getting to me because I'm neglecting SWF stuff as a result which I really don't want to do. Trouble is, look at last week's HeldDOWN. If I didn't write as much as I did, the show would've sucked dick because only 3 or 4 people actually wrote something for it...and one of those was a co-write with me anyway. If other people actually wrote stuff regularly (and the people who 100% regularly write a match are probably me, EWC and Alf right about now) I could take some load off maybe. If you meant PRL...well, he's always been like this.

I might not be around until Monday, so if someone can leave me a spot in the pre-show for the battle royal just incase, that'd be great. Also, a space after the Ladder Match for something short and sweet.

Rudo, have you seen Beef and Excalibur's Cage Of (Life) Death promo? I remember it being on YouTube somewhere, I'll try and find it soon. Awesome stuff.

I don't know as those stats will help anyone, but I want a cookie, so whatever.

Edited May 14th, small moveset and stat changes, bitches... Smarks Board Name: Above Average Wrestlers Name: "The Franchise" Mak Francis Height: 6'2" Weight: 240 Hometown: Philadelphia, PA Age: 22 Face/Heel: Cocky Face with an attitude Tag team: N/A Stable: N/A Ring Escort: N/A Weapon(s): steel chair Quotes and Catchphrases: None just yet... but he's a catchphrase machine. Looks: A black male, with brown eyes... think Shelton Benjamin, without a shaved cut. The Franchise had been neglecting his 'clean shaven' and 'close cut' image, but now he's rockin' longer hair that can actual be grabbed and a clean goatee with a thin beard connecting to his sideburns. Llyod Banks meets Will Smith is a good enough example. Ice blue Oakley shades are still a must. In ring, he wears black tights with blue and white barbed-wire image on the sides and black boots. He has black athletic tape on his left wrist up to his forearm and white tape on his right wrist. A black knee brace, much like Steve Austin’s over his left knee. He has taken to wearing a black trench coat to the ring… those that are in the know might remember the last time he wore one... which was in the JL. In the back, he’ll in a white tee shirt and faded jeans with retro sneakers. A sneaker-head is he. Ring Entrance: The house lights shut off as the wispy sounds of a digital xylophone echo throughout the arena. You can feel the pulsation of the light dings, as a hard beat done by violins, suddenly strikes up slightly overshadowing the original background rhythm. “So do you wanna’ be a Franchise… And live large… A big house… five cars…” The SmarkTron flares up with a blue and white photonegative image of Mak Francis, which is followed by ‘The Franchise’ in large green lettering, flashing on the screen in time with the beat. “The rent charge… Comin’ up in the world, don’t trust nobody… Gotta’ look over your shoulder constantly!” As the opening lyrics from Rock Superstar by Cypress Hill, slightly altered of course, blare over the PA system, it takes a little while but eventually the self proclaimed franchise makes his way through the curtain. The lights come back up and Francis comes out onto the stage, tilting his shades down on the bridge of his nose, before looking left and then right… “I remember the days, when I was a young kid grownin’ up… Lookin’ in the mirror dreamin’ about blowin’ up!” That cues multiple short bursts of green pyrotechnics erupting from either side of him. He readjusts his shades with a smirk, before slowly strolling down to ringside and after walking up the ring steps, he cockily wipes his feet on the apron, giving a salute to the crowd, before entering through the middle ropes. Francis climbs the nearest turnbuckle and poses with both fists raised in the air. Entrance Notes: This is a guide. Change this as you like. I know I will be using different wording. Also, if he comes out second, Mak will usually stare down his opponent before hitting the turnbuckle. If first, Francis props himself in the corner and awaits his opponent with a smirk. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 4 – Francis definitely has that pop in his hips, being a suplex expert. His power is more about leverage than anything else. He German suplexed 350+ pounds of Thugg multiple times, though it wasn't pretty. At all. Doubt he could do it now, but you never know... Speed: 4 – Mak's ring speed is coming back. He's able to bust out a slingshot/springboard move or two from his past and he flows about the ring with grace again. Give him a little while to set up and he'll pull off something "Spectacular". Vitality: 6 – Resilient is the word; think Vince McMahon shilling Shawn Michaels. He’ll go down to a finisher, but on PPV has been known to rise to the occasion and show un-be-fuckin-lievable fighting spirit. See, Danny/Mak. He's got a complex about tapping out, but he will do it, if necessary. Though, he has passed out in holds, as opposed to tapping. Charisma: 6 – He’s very solid on the stick and his cocky mannerism can annoy opponents like no other. But he can't draw in the crowd like he used too (unless it's against a truly hated heel) nor does he care if he does, as much. Style: Technical, dirty, counter puncher. As of now he’s a Heavyweight with some Junior Heavyweight tendencies. He’s got some solid strikes and his high impact maneuvers help round out somewhat hard to categorize style. I call it “Attack with Impact” because each move, while having solid execution, uses leverage and speed to increase the impact his somewhat "smallish frame" can dish out. He was never the greatest physical specimen known to man and since he's got to work himself back in ring shape; Mak isn’t as quick or strong as he once was, but he still has great anticipation and ring savvy. He’ll continue to use more of his amateur roots to make up for injuries and ring rust, as finding his way out of a tricky situation with a counter will always be a big part of his style. As opposed to a Landon Maddix or formerly Ejiro Fasaki, Mak no longer does CHEAT 2 WIN! His dirty tactics are just that, DIRTY and used to inflict damage on his opponents, most times. Sometimes just pain. Game Plan: His fighting style is solidly based in the mat being an amateur wrestler, even more so after his injury, but he’s always out to show up his opponent at least once or twice a match, so a few flashy counters and combos are a staple of his repertoire. He'll usearm work (and on occassion amateur mat wrestling techniques) early to control an opponent, but his main goal is to work the neck and upper back with an array of suplexes and combination attacks, that leads to the Franchise Tag. If there is a glaring weakness, ex., an injured leg or arm, then he’ll work the part over with extreme predjudice, and go for a brutal tap out from one of his flash submissions. He’ll pull out the Brotherly Love combo to pop the crowd, but it’s nowhere near as common, since he does it only when he’s feeling the electricity of the audience. Signature moves: -Gut-wrench suplex - His most common set up for the Frog Splash, but now this suplex has been landing high and tight recently, dropping opponents on their neck. Not just a set-up suplex anymore. -Release German suplex, a.k.a ‘Filthy German™’ - 'Super Filthy German™' optional. -Forearm strikes - He will throw punches sometimes, but forearms and European uppercuts on occasion, rule. No more "WHOOO"ing for Mak, at least involving knife-edges. -Railgun suplex - Mak will catch a running opponent with an Overhead belly-to-belly suplex and the Overhead can be done without momentum, much like a Kurt Angle capture suplex. -Yakuza Kick -Knee related offense - Running knee, HBK's recent knee uppercut or a straight knee to the chin off a whip. Stiff stuff, but he's not John Duran yet. -“The Truth Hurts” - Running bulldog into a Strutting Fist drop - This move is all about humiliation. Pelvic thrusts of truthittude optional. In most serious situations no showmanship is necessary. -“That’s Franchisable” - Side shoulder jawbreaker into a 270 degree Hot shot - Quicker than it is strong. -Rolling German Suplexes -“Million Dollar-plex” - Cobra clutch suplex. Dumps a body on their head, nuff said? Common moves: -Amateur arm drag w/ optional arm-bar attempt -Rear Gut-wrench w/ optional pins or forearm cross-faces -Roll-ups: Any and all: Amateur, Oklahoma, La Majistral, Shooting a half or the dreaded Peterson... bitches. -Leaping Enzuigiri -DDT - JBL-esque in its quick and dirty execution. -Dirty tactics - Thumb to the eyes, low blow, knee brace assisted face rake, etc., but won't use the ropes to get a pin. -Northern lights suplex w/pin -Textbook dropkick - not so textbook at the moment... but give it time. He used to throw a mean dropkick. -Kidney punch into a Side Russian leg sweep -Shelton Benjamin's Three quarters backbreaker -Corner boot scrapes -Senton Atomico - back in full effect, Eddie G. style. -Tilt-a whirl backerbreaker - shoulderbreaker optional Rare moves: Springboard Leaping Forearm - AJ Styles 'Superman' style. This is "Spectacular" for sure. Float over DDT - A little extra flare added on to show up his opponents. Has the added advantage of surprise. Flying Hart Attack Clothesline - A leaping clothesline from the top rope. Cross arm-breaker - serious submission not to be taken lightly. Taught to him by Mercury and Tom Flesher, after his run against Danny Williams it has become a very respected move. Finishers: Striking: Franchise Tag - (Jumping fisherman's buster) - The Franchise Tag is a variation of a brainbuster. It starts out like a typical brainbuster but the opponent is placed in a cradle position (a vertical setup of the fisherman's suplex). Then as Mak jumps into the air, the opponent is dropped into a brainbuster. Nobody HAD kicked out of the Franchise Tag until Spike Jenkins did so, in his quest to get back to Toxxic... Submission: None at the moment. So many people have countered out of his once reliable hold that Mak just depends on his flash submissions. Re: Shoot fighting - fujiwara, guillotine choke, triangle choke, anklelock w/ leg grapevine, etc... not to mention the cross arm-breaker which is covered in greater detail above. Mak's amateur background lends itself well to flash submission holds, which is why he picked up the cross arm-breaker as easily as he did. Arieal: Brotherly Love – (Frog Splash after Gut-wretch suplex) - No need for an explaination. Notes: Mak Francis is cocky. You can see it in the way he walks and in the way he talks. Now back in ring shape, Mak is struggling to find his way back to the Main Event after a series of losses and surprising responses from the crowd, who backed Spike Jenkins over him. Extended (and boy do I mean EXTENDED) Bio: Mackenzie Francis (Mak to most), nicknamed “The Franchise” after receiving 2 time All-American status, 2 National Championships and US amateur gold medal, left amateur wrestling because there's no money in it and a true Franchise deserves to be living the high life… so, Mak entered the SJL and after gaining a small win streak, lost a TV title match to TNT. Requesting a rematch, Francis had a plan, joining the sWo and winning the belt with the help of its founding member, Matt Myers. Under the tutelage of Chris Wilson, bitter and feeling as though he was being held down by then commissioner, Edwin MacPhisto; Mak rose to the top of the JL, becoming a Euro/TV double champion, recruiting Fugue and Spike Jenkins for the sWo and during a high profile feud with CIA, held the World championship for a month. The pair ended this feud at Genesis III, with the Franchise coming out the victor and later that night joining the SWF’s Magnificent Seven by helping Chris Wilson defeat longtime rival Divefire. After Genesis, Wilson left the fed leading to the ascension of Tom Flesher as leader of the Magnificent Seven. Francis, a cocky rookie in the SWF, joined Flesher in tag team action as the East Coast Legacy and scored two high profile singles wins over WF veteran Thoth (the ICTV challenger at the time) and was set to challenge for said ICTV title… which Flesher held. Mak held his own on PPV in a great match, but Flesher was just too good of an opponent and forced the rookie to submit for the first time in his career. This falling out lead to the Franchise being “kicked-out” of the stable, though Mak had made a point in saying after the match, he could not respect Flesher for how he conducted himself during the match and therefore would not work with him. Joining Ced Ordonez, the two tag teamed and followed Thoth (a man he could respect) against Flesher, but Thoth turned on the two, believing himself to be a God and gained the ICTV title from Flesher on his own. Francis struggled, being on his own for the first time in his wrestling career, but a surprise non-title win over then US champ Danny Williams, got him back on track. He pinned Thoth the next show in a non-title match, staying undefeated against him (which is no longer the case) and solidified his tag team with Ced. Entering a Tag title contendership match, Mak was gaining his confidence back, but Ced was injured the day of and Francis had to call on longtime rival CIA to back him up. The two won and face Flesher and Frost, losing a close contest. Mak found out that Danny Williams, distraught over his non-title loss to a “green” Cruiserweight rookie who was kicked out of his stable; had attacked Ced, because he believed he was disrespected. After another loss to Flesher in singles, Francis confronted Williams and the M7 leader, saying that he wanted some respect, realizing that even though Flesher was the better man, that didn’t mean he was the entire M7’s bitch. This was seen by Williams as a complete LACK of respect for him (which it wasn’t) and the two traded wins and the US title, leading to Mak challenging Danny in a match Williams excelled in. A match that he could earn Williams’ respect in called an Ironman match. After a hard-fought contest that had Francis down a fall mere minutes into the match, Mak won in the final seconds (2 falls to 1) and after shaking hands with his opponent, became US champ and was made. Only to be put out of action by Michael Craven. Mak, upset at his losses/injury to Craven, worked hard and came back early, beating Craven on PPV in his return match for the US belt. After losing the belt back to Craven, Mak moved on to get an ICTV title shot… and won, holding the title for 79 days! During this time, SWF Hall of Famer Andrew Blackwell, or Sacred took an interest in Francis and his belt. The Sacred one played mind games and chipped away at Mak’s confidence, leading up to a triple-threat match during the Genesis IV World title tournament. Sacred, using a favor from the Suicide King, called off the match so no one could advance, screwing Mak and then challenged Francis at Genesis to a 2/3 falls’ Submission match, which was to be the final nail in the coffin—destroying Francis’ confidence. Fighting valiantly, at the biggest stage of them all, Mak was “stretchered” out of the ring after finally tapping out to Sacred’s upright figure four, re-injuring his knee and placing him on the shelf. Mak made a less than stellar comeback, clearly not ready to wrestle, and went down to another Hall of Famer, the H-Ville Thugg, in an “I Quit” match, as Francis tried to regain his lost pride and break into the main event. He was “stretchered” out once again, fighting hard, but failing and still not receiving a World Title shot in his entire three year SWF career. Now the Franchise is back. He’s been cleared to wrestle and is clearly after Sacred. But now, facing the challenge of his career—a return from over a year away from the business—can Mak finally break into the Main Event and prove what he has always believed. That he’ll only need one shot at the big belt to prove he’s this companies Franchise. Mak’s determined and more aggressive than ever, though the pressure is rising. But, as always, the Mak Attack has a trick or two up his sleeve… Meeting Sacred at Clusterfuck, in his first shot at the World title, Mak snapped in the Main Event, beating his opponent with a chair and getting disqualifed, after Sacred attempted to replicate his Genesis 4 preformance. After the match Toxxic and his Revolution came down, laid out Mak, and executed one of the most shocking turns of the year on Sacred. Francis wanetd Toxxic and anyone to do with the Revolution. Enter Spike Jenkins. Mak proved his short fuse once again, by facing off against Spike Jenkins, a former sWo partner and member of the Revolution who had laid him and Sacred out (before he got turned on as well), in a number one contendership match, which had Spike win by dubious means. Mak called him on it, saying Spike was a bitch and "proved" it by pulling out the win in a Pure Wrestling rules match, making Spike submit, even though he made the ropes and was almost outside the ring. This lead to a final battle, a 2/3 falls match ofr the right to face the hated Toxxic, ending with the Franchise on top and moving on to the Main Event. In his second attempt at World title gold, Mak was forced to submit by the Straight edge sensation and then Ejiro Fasaki in back to back matches. Clearly upset by this Mak was in a rut and got booked against Spike Jenkins. Sure he could win the match, Francis went into the match with his confidence high, but came out of it a loser as Spike became the first person to EVER kick out of the Jumping Fisherman's buster! Where does Mak go from here? Just what path will he take? Many predicted he'd win the World title by now and he hasn't. He may not walk the 'King's road™' (all rights reserved) but, as everyone knows... the third times the charm. Bank on it...

Nothing short of HBK superkicking Bret could make me want to watch this. Bret's speech will just be a condensed version of his DVD..."I love wrestling, I'm great at wrestling, best there is etc., goodbye and thank you". I seriously doubt he'll say anything 'controversial' or noteworthy.

I'd take Orton over Rey Guerrero too. Aside from the way they'll book Rey and the fact I don't have an interest in seeing him with the belt, the money is in the face chasing the heel. Orton can play the heel champion just fine, so long as they don't hotshot him into a face turn or put him against The Undertaker.

Yes, as that will be the home of the... PreShow Sausage Fest Battle Royal Featuring... D*LUX, Team Heyross, Jumbo, The Sk8er Boiz, NRG, Dance Dance Dragon, The Triple Threat, Cuban Wall, Mr Boricua, The South Central Militia... ...and whoever else I can get between now and Friday morning. Anyone with (preferrably face) characters not doing anything, PM, stat.

Backstage, Leon Rodez is sat and musing. Presumably, his musing is over AngleMania and his Ladder Match which is just three days away...and not his sister and her tag team combination D*LUX, who stand in the room behind him. JADE You okay bro? LEON Yeah I'm fine. JADE Listen, if it's not too much trouble...can I get some advice? You know, about wrestling? LEON Advice...advice...hmm. Well, The OAOAST Tag Team Division is...well, it's...have you ever seen the video for Daft Punk's "Around The World". It's kinda like that. Not that me and Zack really went through the ranks like you guys will, but there's a lot of very 'unique' characters in the division. A few oddballs, you know. ALIX HHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEERRRRREEEE'SSSSS ALLY!! Leon raises an eyebrow, as if to say "well, I did warn you.", as the OAO Alix Maria Spezia pokes her head through the door of the lockerroom. But Alix isn't alone as not just one Chick Over Dick, but two enter the room. Krista Isadora Duncan and Leon exchange a typically icy look as Jade perkily waves at the COD. Alix returns the chirpy gesture and gives her boyfriend a warm hug, while Krista barely acknowledges the wannabee student to her don't wannabee mentor. Instead, her interest is taken by D*LUX who apparantly she hasn't met, despite her 'friendship' with their manager. KRISTA Woah, when did Synth and The Marv have kids and why wasn't the national press informed? JADE Uh, Krista...can I...uh, ask you for some advice? LEON Uhm, ouch? KRISTA Oh don't worry, the moment wickle Jade here ends up with popstar spawn swimming around her belly, I'm sure you'll be the perfect guy to give her advice, but until then you don't worry your little head about unimportant things like being a good role model to your little sister. Grumbling to himself, Leon figures no good can come of trying to talk with Krista around, so takes Alix off to the corner of the locker room for some private time. Meanwhile, Jade tries her best not to look like an over-eager lapdog as she waits for Krista to answer her. KRISTA So, what is it this time? JADE Well, I figured since you're a former World Tag Team Champion and you know all about kicking everyone's ass in the tag team division and stuff...maybe you could give us three a little advice? And stuff? You know...about tag wrestling or something? Cause I've been watching videos and stuff but it's real hard to learn everything so quickly and I've never really managed anything since my poor little bunny rabbit died when I was six because I kept eating all his carrots and lettuce and stuff. KRISTA It's funny you should ask in such a convoluted way. It so happens I have some advice for you. Grab whatever it is you two think passes as wrestling gear and get yourself warmed up, because I 'spoke' to Axel when he told me about my match and in between the threatening and the growling and the snarling, I stopped and let him speak and I got you two a match tonight. JADE You did that for me!? KRISTA Well... JADE Oh, wow, that's so kind Krista, thank you thank you! See, I told you she was real swell guys! Who's it against? KRISTA Well, gee golly little lady, untie that knot in your panties and settle yourself down and I'll tell you! (Krista holds up her hands) I'm sorry. It's just that sound of happiness and sweetness and love and blissful ignorance towards the world around you drills through my brain something rotten. I've tried switching Alix to decaf, I have. Oh how I've tried. All that Diet Dr Pepper she chugs down sends her loopy though. I found a whole pack under her bed once. Don't try it with Vodka, trust me. Really disgusting stuff. And the taste doesn't even mellow after 10 shots like most substances you find around the house do. But, I digress. It just so happens that New Kids On The Block here have earnt themselves a match with my AngleMania opponents, Christian Wright and Bohemoth. What are the chances? Upon hearing that, Leon suddenly peels Alix off of him and storms over. LEON You're kidding me, right? You're getting my sister and her team to do your dirty work? KRISTA Oh, I'm sorry, I assumed this was none of your business. Silly me! LEON Christian and Bohemoth are experienced wrestlers. They've been in the company for near enough a year and they've wrestled some of the biggest names in the OAOAST and you're expecting my sister and her rookie team to beat them? KRISTA Newsflash hot stuff, I didn't make this match, Axel did. Remember him? The GM guy? But let's forget all about that and pile the hate trip on bitter ol' Krista Isadora Duncan, just because she has more faith in your sister than you do. You know, if I had a brother that automatically thought I was gonna fail at everything I did then I'd be pretty depressed with life and raid my parents spirits cabinet, then log myself onto MySpace and look for some buddies to go commit suicide with. Luckily, I don't have that. I just feel sorry for Jade that she's got a brother like you who lacks certain qualities such as commitment and loyalty. Maybe these kids are gonna get their asses handed to them by Christian and Bohemoth. Maybe Bohemoth's such an incompetent clutz that he'll trip up during his entrance and knock himself out on the floor, getting himself counted out. Who knows? Certainly not you, so maybe you should have some faith. Maybe they'll win. Maybe they'll lose. Maybe the match will get called off because JINGUS decides now's the perfect time to sacrifice a flock of sheep to his demon gods in the middle of the ring, causing everyone to run from the arena vomiting. I just hope that Bohemoth doesn't decide to bring any scissors to the ring and try to cut poor little Jade's hair, because God knows her brother won't be around to come to the rescue because he's too busy playing "1998 Redux" with Puerto Rican Lightning and his hombrés. And if we did need some help from these two to deal with CW and Bo, maybe it's because Alix's boyfriend is an unattentive waste of space who can't or more likely won't lift a finger to help her out when she needs him. Just a theory. Krista finishes up on her tirade and takes a gasp of oxygen. LEON ...I'll see you later Al, I've got things to do. ALIX Where you talking to me or Big Al the cameraman, sugar cookie? Because if you were talking about Big Al, we should maybe talk about a seperation. LEON I'll call you later. Giving Alix a peck on the cheek, Leon promptly leaves, which prompts Krista to sulkily grumble to herself that Leon isn't enough of a challenge. D*LUX have in the meantime gone about getting prepped for their match, which is hampered by Alix's chirpy chatter. KRISTA Oh, Jade... JADE Yes Krista? KRISTA If you want some advice for being a manager, then I feel this is best coming from me rather than someone you neither know nor respect, because it's the most vital lesson you'll ever need to know. Men are fickle. I can talk to you from experience, but I doubt you want to fetch me beer after beer all night so I'll spare you. So let me leave it at this. You have assets, so use them. JADE So...like, my wrestling training? Groaning, Krista wipes a hand across her head. KRISTA Look, this goes against everything you'll ever hear me say about women being more than mere sex objects...but, to most men, women are mere sex objects. The good Lord didn't give you those breasts just to feed your offspring with, if you catch my drift. JADE Uhm...you want me to flash people? KRISTA No. But come a step down on the sexploitation ladder and you're home and dry lil' lady. Jade, if I had assets like yours when I was eighteen I wouldn't have worn clothes at all, but apparantly you have some of those pesky morals people always tell me about. So here's the thing. You're a female manager. Instead of being one of those things well and being the other part by virtue, why not be good at both? Take advantage of both sides of that coin. Do all the research, do all the scouting. Be a manager. Stand up for women's rights. Preach to the world about whatever it is you kids care about nowadays like dolphins or a new face for Courtney Love. Take the 50% cut on your team's profits like I told you to... JADE It's 60%, actually. KRISTA Damn, I am good aren't I? Well, whatever, get rich off of them. And when those cheques clear, get yourself out in the stores and buy yourself the most revealing, lowest-cut, slutty tops and shortest skirts you can find and win your team matches. JADE Like, distraction? Gee, I dunno if that's really honourable Kris'. KRISTA That's for God to decide, not me nor you. You don't have to be a slut, just give the impression that you are. You could walk out to that ring in a potato sack and every red-blooded male in that arena is going to undress you with their eyes regardless, so why not make their lives a little easier if it means distracting the men in the ring from their job? So you show some flesh? Is that so bad? Do you wear sweaters on the beach? No. You wear a skimpy string bikini and scream 'hey, hunky guy, stop kicking over that little kid's sandcastle and service me'. I would have thought someone your age would be used to all this by now. What do they teach you in school nowadays? Sex sells. So next time you're feeling worried about something, just close your eyes, click your heels together and say to yourself..."There's no thing like money." "There's no thing like money." "There's no thing like money." JADE I will Krista! KRISTA And if you're planning on actually wearing a bikini to the ring, you might want to borrow one of my fitness videos first. No offence. JADE Uhm...thanks? KRISTA Don't mention it. Good luck tonight, I'll be watching real close.

Bruce clearly missed the chopblock mention.

Another reccomendation for Lumines here.

Christian's in twice (16 and 20).

In the match he won the spot in, they basically mentioned that Dutt has US citizenship and I guess that was the sole explanation. The fact he was still announced from Bombay, India was pretty odd though.

I can keep the Triple Threat semi-active and we can keep the belts there for now. Once the Upstarts split, if it's okay with Zack I'd like GPX and O'Hara to stay a unit and eventually get the belts.

And in the meantime, he'll be making the big names on Smackdown sell his deadly 'weakly sit on your chest as I jump from the top rope' and 'two feet to the face that you can't sell realisticly because I have to follow it up with a springboard rana' combo. ... Fuck, looks like I'm routing for Orton. Ugh, it's gonna be a real chore this week.

Wow. That's fantastic. This'll turn Jimmy face within the next couple of months, I'm calling it.

He weren't kidding people. ^^^

Olá and stuff. This isn't really important but I wanted to get some thoughts on it anyway because I want some attention damnit! I've been thinking about changing up my picbase for a while now because I don't and haven't really ever thought of Rodez looking like Teddy Hart, aside from maybe one photo. EWC mentioned in passing that he thought Rodez would be more Hispanic looking once and thinking about it, the name does sound slightly 'exotic'. So I kinda wondered what you assumed he should look like, seeing as you're all impartial towards the character. So, suggestions on a postcard please. Or, alternatively, posted in this thread. I think Sonjay Dutt would be a good choice, but it might be odd having my character suddenly and completely changing race overnight.

It'll probably be one big movie parody-fest. I take it this the Sky One trailer, with the traditional opening in live action?

MAIN EVENT WORLD TITLE MATCH LAST MAN STANDING Wes Davenport© vs Jay Hawke - Jay, if only because we haven't had some rapid title hot-potatoing for a while around here.

See, I didn't think people would feel Dick while reading it, because Dick's been neglected for so long around here. Now Parka's gone, I figured it'd be about time to whip him out again, but I still wasn't sure. So it's comforting to know you were feeling Dick while reading my match. Comforting and yet, unnerving.

As far as I'm aware, it's the same sort of deal as WrestleMania V (as in it's in Trump Plaza and the looong steps will be the makeshift 'aisle') only with an AngleTron or something at the top.

As part of the MTV generation, I feel neither highs nor lows. But... Highest- Winning the Clusterfuck. Hands down. Winning the JL Title and SWF Title were good times, but I really wasn't expecting to win the 'Fuck so that was great. Still my favourite SWF match of my own writing. Lowest was getting beat by Muzz for the World Title in my first defence. That kinda hurt for a while. The flak that Rando got for his IronMan Match still bugs me a little too.

Ditto, although I'd have preffered it going the other way. Hero and Claudio are a great tag team, but I'm not hugely interested in seeing them against each other.
