King Cucaracha

Well, I'll take this as good news while he's still peforming to his recent levels.

I disagree. It's tremendously excellent. Yes, there is a difference.

Judging by his wit and grammar, Beau would make a perfect replacement.

TSM's Ultimate Fantasy... I shudder to think what that'd be.

Orton looks way too bulky...and in half of the pics, he looks more like Test than Orton.

Too late. The first game of the second biggest football tournament in the world, facing probably the best team in the world and being the most over-rated and over expectant football country in the world. Yeah. Pretty real.

"I wasted time, and now doth time waste me..." As the words fade away, the image of Landon Maddix appear against the backdrop of a video screen...a screen which lights up with a clockface, it's minute hand ticking slowly around, the ticks and tocks quietly in the background. "William Shakespeare once wrote that. It's funny...after all these years, the old British coot's words still having meaning to the likes of me. It is true that I have wasted time. Although I am only twenty years old...there are things that have passed me by...things I should have devoted more time to. Education. Being a good son... ...destroying Alan Clark." Landon's face sours at the mere mention of Clark's name, but he quickly wipes it off. "This issue between us has gone on for nearly half a year. HALF...a YEAR! By now, I should have finished him off. I would have done, had the SJL not folded at the most in-opportune time. I mean...picture this. The JL's most dominant superstar of 2003 and most of the latter part of 2002 finally wins the big one. He holds the SJL World Heavyweight Title...to go with his SJL European Title. He controls the company. And he has just defeated Alan Clark...for the second time. A month or two more, and no doubt I'd have crushed him like a bug." Another sour look adorns the USJL Triple Crown Champ's face, as he shakes his head...while behind him, the ticking and tocking grows louder. "But it was at that point we were all moved up to the SWF. In hindsight, I should have taken the time to prepare. See...right when I was at the peak of my success. Right at the VERY... MOMENT... I was set to finish Clark off for good, who comes along? H... V... T... He attacks me. He attacks Clark. Clark runs off to deal with Thugg, while I end up losing track of him. I LOSE my belts in my first SWF match. I should have taken the time to ready myself. I didn't. It cost me. Then I joined up with The Unnamed. I got side-tracked with Charlie Matthews and Wild and Dangerous. I lost track of Clark once more. And by now...he had re-grouped. He took out Thugg. He won Cruiserweight gold. And my chance to rid myself of him...had gone. I have wasted time..." With a shake of the head, Maddix's eyes seem to be a little more focused than before, as the ticking is most certainly getting louder. "...and now, at 13th Hour, 'time doth waste me'. It took myself and Alan Clark half a year to get to this point. Now, we have just sixty minutes to render those months obsolete. In those sixty minutes, six months of passion, pride, hatred will be on display. We will fight to the point of collapse. We shall sweat to the point of dangerous weight loss. It is possible...that we may bleed...to the point that we simplay cannot continue. And all the time, we will struggle between two minds. The mind that's telling us to preserve our energy and the mind that is telling us to go all out, to end this once and for all... The mind that wants to make sure I survive the sixty minutes...and the mind that wants to make sure Alan Clark DOESN'T survive the sixty minutes. There are no returns now. We cannot go back. Once that bell rings, we will do battle for one... solid... hour. No rest periods. No time-outs. No half-time shows. Just me... Alan... ...and time." Looking down at the ground, Maddix skulks off...leaving the clock to tick away as the scene fades out. ALAN CLARK. LANDON MADDIX. 13TH HOUR. THE SIXTY MINUTE IRONMAN MATCH FOR THE USJL TRIPLE CROWN CHAMPIONSHIP. THERE IS NOTHING TO FEAR... ...BUT TIME ITSELF.

I really don't have anything planned for Chris Bryte match-wise, so I'm good for a match if you are. Match or not, there will be a Bryte promo. Sounds cool by me. PM me the infos and stuffs and I'll get that match going...once my SWF stuff's done.

If anyone's got a character not doing anything, then I can write a short match. If not, probably some promoage.

Make of that what you will.

Hmm...decent signing. If they use him as the 'anti X style' X Division guy, that'd open up a whole bunch of matches pretty quickly. I still don't get the whole 'X-Division style' arguement either. So Collyer's a technical wrestler...why does that rule him out of the X-Division Title?

Hmm. Yeah, that doesn't look right. Replace 'pro American' with 'anti-everyone' then. Considering he's not really even pro-American anyway.

*puts on parachute pants*

Seeing as I'm not involved in the 'gang' stuff, I'll nominate myself and promptly forget to visit the folder for the next month. ...

Meh...never really that into London myself. I've been a few times and it was ok, and of course I was never the age to be visiting night-life and stuff. Outside of Wembley and the Dome, I never really went to do anything. I guess this is 'touristy'...if you're not freaked out by heights, queues, the general public and high prices, the London Eye's a pretty decent half hour or so. Bars and clubs are your best bet for something to do though.

Bradshaw's character is a heel. His character is basically 'cocky pro-American who thinks he's better than everyone'. So I guess it fits. The sad thing is...I'm sure he actually belives that 'I'm just playing a character' stuff. To a point it's true, I guess. Not to the point he's taken it to however. Since the death of kayfabe, there's been a line between being a heel and 'don't offend anyone because we'll get shit from the internet and media'. Bradshaw crossed it. If it were 1980 whatever, I doubt the media would have given a crap. Hell, if it were 1991 I doubt the media would have given a crap.

You have totally taken this story in another direction. See how things get started? Yeah. A little thing called 'The Torch'.

IL got more heat than me? *also tears up*

Why do that, when their 'after Smackdown has finished' feud is going so well?

Well, I don't trust sources. Didn't 'sources' say Mark Jindrak was getting the title shot?

Group A Portugal 3 Greece 0 (Being the home team will be an advantage. Greece shouldn't be push-overs, but I suspect the Portguese will be fired up) Spain 2 Russia 0 (Spain always fail to impress. But I don't rate the Russians) Group B Croatia 2 Switzerland 2 (Close...I think the Swiss'll shock people) France 3 England 1 (Should be a great game. But once France get in their stride, no-one'll stop them. Especially without Terry at the back.) Group C Italy 0 Denmark 0 (There's always one boring game. This may be it.) Bulgaria 1 Sweden 2 (Close one, but Sweden should nick it) Group D Germany 2 Netherlands 3 (Two shoddy defences should mean goals galore.) Czech Republic 4 Latvia 0 (Czechs look good. Latvia...bleh.)

Bold prediction- SWF 13th Hour will be SO much better than this. Not to mention cheaper and better booked. That's the cheap plug out of the way. Benoit HHH Orton La Resistance Victoria Eugene Jericho via DQ

Well, I like Conway and think the match'll be decent. Just...not *** decent.

Bad Blood isn't going to be an OVW PPV. It's also not going to be held in bizzaro world so I can't see a La Res, WWE style tag match which won't be anything other than slow, partly so as not to burn out Benoit and not being held in Quebec going ***. Just my opinion though.
