King Cucaracha

Boy, I had a poor Smackdown this week.

Is the Swagger love a joke, or what? He's got zero charisma, you can tell from his eyes he just looks stunned to be on TV (half the time his eyes just look stunned, period) and he uses Test's ugly-ass powerbomb as a finisher. So he does a few amateur throws, that's all he has.

Don't give Patty any ideas. Seriously, he's already pitched those ideas before, so it's not worth giving him any more. Yeah, he basically walked off with Melody after a bunch of tag team division scrubs failed trying to take the 24/7 Title off him because I was stuck for an ending. What happened afterwards is lost in the annals of non-existant time.

I voted for R-Truth, although I doubt he'll become a *genuine* superstar, out of those listed he'll be up there the soonest I think. I'll admit to being doubtful he'd succeed when his vignettes started. Within a few weeks he's gone from minimal reactions to big reactions just through walking through the crowd rapping. Once they start elaborating on that, he's got every chance of getting to that certain level behind the top tier. To be honest, it'll probably take any of these guys a long time to get above that tier and into genuine main-event positions if they do at all. Almost everybody who's there already has been wrestling for some 8-10 year minimum. I'm surprised Cade has no votes yet, personally. He's got the right build and the right backing behind him, plus enough talent not to look out of place. He just needs something behind him in the character department.

COLE Welcome back to OAOAST HeldDOWN~!, moments away from our main-event. And I'm glad to say I'm joined here at ringside by a man with a vested interest in proceedings here, the World Heavyweight Champion Tha Puerto Rican... which of course means, Coach has ran for the hills. PRL It really must be your lucky day Michael Cole. If they suddenly announce an N*Sync reunion before midnight, I'd advise you go out and grab like 100 lottery tickets. COLE But I only get paid $65 for doing this show. PRL Yeah? When did we start with the performance related pay around here? Anybody? One-two, guys in the truck, any help? COLE Anyway, main-event, fatal four way number one contendership, the winner goes on to the Halloween Spectacular to challenge for the World Title. And we all know what happened last year! PRL A night that'll go down in history. Right alongside Hitler's first public speech, George Bush's election victory and the night Coach started this job. Or any job for that matter. *Give me fuel Give me fire Give me that which I desire!* “Fuel” by Metallica starts playing, causing the fans to rise up and boo, as Brickston marches out through the entrance. Flanked by the sharply dressed Vitamin X, Brickston cracks his neck from side to side and sizes the crowd up before beginning to head for the ring. BUFFER The following Fatal Four Way contest is set for one fall, with the winner to recieve an OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship match at this month's Halloween Spectacular! Introducing the participants. First, being led to the ring by his manager, VITAMIN X!! From Sacramento, California... he weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds... ladies and gentlemen, this is... BBRRRRRIIIIIIICCKKSSSSSSTTOOOOOOOOOONN!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Vitamin X climbs up the ring steps and holds the ropes open for Brickston to enter the ring. Brickston wipes his feet on the ring apron and then enters, raises both fists over his head and letting out a mighty roar. Just incase the point didn't get across, he then climbs to the middle turnbuckles to do it again. COLE Brickston may not have the credentials or the resumé that his three opponents have, but that doesn't tell the whole story. This guy is legitimately tough. A man who's competed in many mixed martial arts fields and served in the US military. PRL Take it from someone who knows, Brickston's got all the tools you need to be a champion. Except maybe a brain. COLE Well now he's got Vitamin X guiding him as manager, to be the brains for him. PRL Yeah, but Vitamin X is a prize idiot as well. As Brickston works up the crowd, Vitamin X leans over the ring ropes and points a finger at PRL. Whether he heard that crack or not he takes exception to the World Champion's presence anyway. "We're running with the Shadows Of The Night So baby take my hand, you'll be all right Surrender all your dreams to me tonight They'll come true in the end" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" The sounds of 80s power ballad "Shadows Of The Night" sound out next, to another round of boos from the hostile Virginia crowd! Striding through the entrance, Landon "La Cucaracha" Maddix sweeps his way down the aisle already making proud boasts of victory towards Vitamin X in the ring. Megan Skye follows behind her amped up man as he makes record time to the ring steps, only to stop suddenly when confronted by Brickston on the other side of the turnbuckles. BUFFER Introducing next, from Huron, South Dakota by way of Madrid, Spain! He weighs in tonight at two hundred, eight pounds... being accompanied to the ring by his manager MEGAN SKYE and proudly representing Cucaracha Internacional. He is a former OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion... LANDON... "LA CUCARACHA"... MMMMMMMAAAAAAAAADDIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXX!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Landon backs down the steps away from Brickston, turning angrily to the crowd at the latest chorus of boos. "Who are you gonna boo, him or me?" he confronts the fans with, pointing to Brickston. And to his annoyance, they choose both. PRL Speaking of prize idiots, I swear this guy ain't all there in the head either. COLE Well you've had your fair share of run-ins with Landon Maddix over the past couple of years as well, how would you feel about La Cucaracha challenging you on October 31st? PRL Hey, if I can't beat a guy who comes to the ring to [i]Pat Benatar[/i], I might as well just quit right now, know what I'm saying. COLE (harbouring a secret love of Pat Benatar) ...yeah, I... I couldn't agree more. PRL Ugh. Suddenly, out go the lights as "Magnum Opus" begins to play. The distinctive music leads out the distinguished former World Champion, bathed in a gold light as he makes his way out. Alfdogg flicks the hair from his face and slowly makes his way to the ring, sizing things up on the way. BUFFER Hailing from Anderson, Indiana! He weighs two hundred, thirty seven pounds and is the leader of The Deadly Alliance... ladies and gentlemen, the former two-time OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion... AAALLLLLLLLLLFFFFFF - DDOOOOOOOOOOGGGG!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE Alf also the WDW World Champion for almost three years, so make that a three-time World Champion. PRL Yeah, and Landon's held the SWF title twice, so he's a three-time World Champion too. I'm sure Buffer would have pointed that out, if either company were worth mention anymore. COLE Yeouch! Alf continues his slow walk to the ring, catching eyes with Landon for a moment from adjacent sides of the ring. The two exchange some brief words before Alf rolls into the ring. Brickston is pulled up by Vitamin X and encouraged to wait, while Alf drops to a knee and holds out his arms to ignite a wall of pyrotechnics behind him. COLE Boy, I don't think Landon was expecting that! Having jumped to a safe distance just in time, Landon covers his heart with his hand and recovers his breath... *BbwWbAhmotherfuckerLlIiiBbbEErRrAATtTeeyYyOUUurRrMmmMmMiIInNnDddDd!!* "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" ...while the crowd lose their's for the appearance of the final competitor. COLE HERE we go! BUFFER And finally, from Greenville, South Carolina! Weighing two hundred, eighty four pounds... a member of the In Crowd... "THE METEROSEXUAL MONSTER"... BBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - HHHHHEEEEEEEEEMMMMMOOOOOOOOOTTHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Fired up, Bohemoth chews up the ring steps and enters the ring, at which point Alf decides to roll on out to the floor. Bohemoth casts a look towards Brickston and Vitamin X, now safely on the apron, as he hops to the middle turnbuckles and flaunts his muscles. COLE What an ovation for Bohemoth, looking to get that one on one crack at the big one he's been waiting so long for! Bo leaps down and hits another set of turnbuckles, giving Alf but not Landon the opening to get into the ring. As he hops down again Bohemoth then gets himself psyched up. Alf lays back in a corner and holds his hands up to show he's happy to wait for the bell. As too is Landon, still out on the floor with Megan. After some last words of advice for his man Vitamin X then joins them, cheering Brickston on. Referee Mike Chioda waves for Landon to get in so the match can start, but Landon doesn't seem too eager. COLE So it's one fall to a finish here, no disqualifications and no count-outs. And as acting OAOAST President Josie Baker said last week, the winner goes on to the Halloween Spectacular to challenge you for the World Title PR. Your thoughts? PRL My thoughts are pretty simple Michael Cole. This should be fun. These four want a shot at me, I'm more than looking forward to seeing them fight each other for the right while I sit here sipping on this nicely chilled water you've got sitting under this desk here. Very nice. You don't think that sounds too cowardly do you? 'Cause I'm kinda trying to steer myself in a different direction recently, ya know? COLE I noticed that, yeah. Once Landon is finally, pensively inside the ring, Chioda calls for the bell. *DINGDINGDING!* Turning on his heels, Bo goes right after Landon but before you know it he's slipped out underneath the bottom rope. And as boos rain down on Landon, Alf and Brickston take advantage by jumping Bohemoth from behind! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Alf and Brickston hammer away on the back of the bigman, then take turns laying in right hands in the corner. All the while Landon lurks on the floor, as Brickston delivers a hard right hand. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" Chop by Alf. And a right hand from Brickston. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" Another chop by Alf. But as Brickston continues laying into Bo, Maddix sneaks back inside and pulls Alf away into a schoolboy... COLE Wait a minute, quick cover... 1... 2-NO! Quickly out, Alf scrambles for Maddix who again goes to the outside. This time Alf is right after him though and just when La Cucaracha thinks it's okay to point to his head and show how smart his is, Alfdogg slugs him from behind with a double axehandle! Down goes Landon, mocked by Alf, while in the ring a whip is reversed sending Brickston into a corner, where Bohemoth delivers a hard clothesline! COLE Boy the action is going to be hard to call here, as we've got a fight in the ring and a fight on the floor. PRL Well at least you don't have Coach out here dragging you down with his 'urbanisms'. COLE True dat. Bohemoth picks Brickston out of the corner, scooping him over his shoulder and running him out looking for a powerslam. Brickston slides down the back though, stomping the back of the knee. As Bo falls to the other, Brickston hits the ropes. But he gets knocked down on the rebound with a crowd-popping clothesline! Cover... 1... 2... No! On the outside, Landon is sent into the barricade by a whip from Alfdogg. Inside, Bohemoth begins to offload with right hands on Brickston. The punches back Brickston into a corner, where Bo continues to pound away before whipping Brickston across. Brickston puts a foot up to stop himself in the corner though, then throws back his elbow to catch Bo running in. COLE Good awareness there by Brickston. With Vitamin X encouraging him to "stay on him", Brickston delivers a big boot to the chest to knock Bohemoth back a couple of steps. Brickston them comes out of the corner, knocking Bo down with a big side elbow attack. Brickston stays on the attack, until Alf slides back in and stomps him in the back of the head. PRL You've gotta keep eyes in the back of your head in this kind of match, especially with guys like Alfdogg and Maddix. They'll take any opening they see. Alf clubs away at Brickston, before sending him off the ropes. Back elbow knocks Brickston, setting him up as Alfdogg comes off the ropes... and trips! Not through dumb luck, but by the hands of Landon Maddix, who drags him outside and returns fire with a whip into the barricade! MADDIX Yeah, how'd you like that old man!? COLE Old man!? PRL Well, now, let's not sugar coat it. Berating the veteran Alf, Landon climbs to the apron... and seconds later is sent flying as Bohemoth knocks him back to the floor! "YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!" Bohemoth then turns and manages to duck a clothesline from Brickston, scooping him as he rebounds off the ropes and drilling him with a Powerslam! Hook of the leg... 1... 2... No! Bohemoth backs Brickston up in a corner with some more right hands as referee Chioda tries in vain to get him to open up the fist. The bigman only steps when Vitamin X reaches into the ring and grabs his ankle, distracting him long enough for Brickston to deliver a knee to the ribs. Brickston then pitches Bo through the ropes and follows him out to the floor. COLE And now all four men on the floor, with no disqualifications, what a chaotic main-event here tonight on HeldDOWN! PRL This is how it needs to be. Let the best man win, so I can beat the best man later. As the brawl continues on one side between Brickston and Bohemoth, on the other Alf decides to throw Landon back in. COLE And now we've got the leader of Cucaracha Internacional and the leader of the Deadly Alliance in there. First time since their Money In The Bank Semi-Final I believe. Alf delivers a couple of forearms, then takes Landon up and down with a quick back suplex. He follows up with a legdrop off the ropes and looks for the cover... 1... 2... No! Side headlock is applied by Alf, keeping half an eye on the fight between Brickston and Bohemoth as he does so. Maddix fights his way out with some elbows and shoots Alfdogg off the ropes, but Alf is able to knock him down with a shoulder tackle coming back. Coming off the ropes, Alf delivers a second shoulder tackle as Maddix scrambles to his feet. And a third time he charges... only for Landon to cut him off with a forearm shot. It's then Landon who hits the ropes, before almost hitting the lights courtesy of a big BAAAAACK bodydrop! PRL That's never fun. Alf grabs Landon by the arm and sends him into a corner with an irish whip. After addressing the boos of the crowd with an "up yours" gesture Alf then follows in. Throwing his feet up Landon looks to block, but Alfdogg is too smart for that and catches him! Holding the ankles he pulls Landon off the turnbuckles in preparations for a powerbomb. But Landon counters with a hurricanrana, pulling Alf forward face-first into the top turnbuckle! COLE Ooh! Very innovative counter right there. PRL See Maddix has got plenty of ability, when he's not acting like a goof. Which isn't too often. With the Deadly Alliance's figurehead dazed in the corner Landon sweeps away Alf's leg to drop him onto his seat, then delivers a hard kick to the chest against the bottom turnbuckle. And a second. Before placing a boot against his throat and choking away. As this is going on, Bohemoth has Brickston up on the floor, looking for a place to drop him. Before he can do so, Vitamin X rushes over and causes a distraction, allowing Brickston to slip out the back and shove Bohemoth shoulder-first into the ringpost! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE And again Vitamin X coming to Brickston's aid, which unfortunately the referee can't do much about seeing as there's no disqualifications. PRL You know, I never liked that guy. Brickston rolls back into the ring, ambushing Landon from behind. With double axehandles he drops Landon to his knees, before taking a swing at Alfdogg as well. As Alf rolls to the apron, Brickston spins Landon around and delivers a snap suplex, for the cover... 1... 2... No! Brickston leads Landon to his feet, but gets surprised with an arm-wringer to escape his clutches, setting up an irish whip. Hitting the corner closest to Alf, Brickston is then hampered from escaping by a grab of the leg, leaving him prey to a diving forearm attack in the corner. To reward his helping hand, Alf then has Brickston thrown right at him by La Cucaracha. Hit in the stomach by Brickston's shoulder, down goes Alf, allowing Landon to school-boy the Californian... 1... 2... No! Quickly up, Brickston is caught with three quick forearms, then a straight kick to the chest. When he shrugs those off though, Landon isn't quite so attack-minded and tries to cut a deal. PRL I could think of worse ideas in this situation. Of course it still ain't gonna work, but I [i]could[/i] think of worse. Shockingly, Brickston turns down the offer and boots Landon in the gut to earn him his first positive reaction in forever. Brickston sends Maddix off the ropes, swinging and missing with a clothesline. And a swing and a miss with the elbow as well. Storming back, Landon leaps at Brickston and lands the knees on the thighs. As he pushes off for the Thesz Plant however, Brickston gives him a little extra elevation and coverts it into a HUGE Powerslam variation!! "OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!" VITAMIN X YES! COVER, COVER!! COLE Vitamin X thinks it's over, are we gonna see Brickston back in the bigtime? Brickston does just as he's told... 1... 2... Shoulder up! PRL Nah. Not yet. It'll take more than that, trust me. Vitamin X gets on the referee's case about the count, while Brickston takes it out on Landon with some stomps. Brickston then drags Landon back up and sends him into a corner with a shove. Charging with a shoulder, Brickston then sends Landon into the opposite corner. Same again, only this time raises a knee for Brickston to clatter into. As Brickston staggers out, Landon goes to the second rope, connecting with a Front Missile Dropkick! COLE La Cucaracha with a little bit of flight. PRL Does he even know what that nickname means? COLE Well I assume it's more to emphasise that he's tough and resilient than it is to imply that he's... PRL Smelly? Dirty? Disease ridden? Cover by Landon... 1... 2... No! Quickly, Landon gets to his feet ready to follow up. As he does so Alf sneaks back into the ring though, bundling Maddix to the floor and dropping a knee on Brickston, before covering... 1... 2... No! Back in slides Landon to dump Alfdogg outside. Turning to Brickston, La Cucaracha then drives his body-weight across the chest with a double stomp, dropping out with the follow-up back senton and reaching back for a leg... 1... 2... No! COLE Brickston keeps on kicking out here, as Alfdogg and Maddix trade turns on trying to get the pin in this one fall match. Rolling in again Alfdogg marches right up to Landon and shoves him in the chest. Not taking to that kindly, Maddix shoves him right back. So Alf goes ahead and slaps him in the face! The Virginia crowd like that one and are more than happy to see the two suddenly start trading off on right hands. COLE Here we go! PRL It had to break down to brass tacks sooner or later, I'm just glad it's between these two. Ah hell, who am I kidding, I don't care either way. Throw Brickston in there to get his ass kicked too while we're at it, why not? *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" Landon breaks away and hits a chop. *SLAP!* [i]"AAAAAAHHHHHH!"[/i] And Alf responds, drawing a girly scream from Landon who's forced to go to the eyes. MADDIX Don't [i]DO[/i] that! COLE He doesn't like those chops, Champ. PRL I'll bear that in mind. Suddenly, Alf and Landon's attentions turn, as Bohemoth returns to the fray and mows them down with a Double Clothesline!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" Fired up, Bohemoth winds up by the ropes, managing to hiptoss an oncoming Brickston up and over the top rope! Vitamin X rushes to his man's aid, while Bohemoth sizes up his remaining opponents. First to his feet, unfortunately for him, is Landon who gets takes up and emphatically DOWN with the Front Spinebuster!! Bohemoth then delivers a boot to Alf, doubling him up for a big Powerbomb! COLE This crowd are on their feet! Landon is hurt, Alf is hurt and PR, we might be about to see it! PRL Oh the humanity. Bohemoth stalks around his fallen opposition for a few seconds, teasing the crowd before he finally gives them what they want. Thumbs Up. THUMBS DOWN~! "YYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Here it comes! Bending down, Bohemoth grabs Landon by the hair and hauls him to his feet. Poor Landon has no choice but to go with The Meterosexual Monster's wishes, a scoop up into the arms signalling the end. Bohemoth's expression turns from focus to fuzzy though, as when he turns around... *CRACK!* ...he gets WAFFLED with a steel chair by Brickston!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" PRL OH! Big chairshot, and perfectly legal. COLE Wait a second, Landon's on top! 1... 2... *CRACK!* A chairshot to the back breaks up Maddix's opportunistic pin, Brickston standing tall with the weapon as Vitamin X applauds gleefully on the outside. COLE Two big shots with that steel chair from Brickston have changed the tide. And I'm pretty sure Vitamin X was the one who handed Brickston that chair in the first place. PRL Doesn't really matter. So long as he's got that chair, Brickston's in the ideal position to win this thing. With only one man left to hit, Brickston wields the chair waiting for Alfdogg to get back up. Impatiently he yells at Alf, barely able to contain himself, until finally Alf is up, at which point he charges and takes a big swing... ...NO!! Alf ducks his head and at the same time manages to backdrop Brickston over the top, chair and all!! PRL You know, if he wasn't such a putz. With Brickston disposed off, Alf watches Bohemoth recovering. Waving him to his feet, Alf then unloads with the SUPERKICK~! and falls on top... 1... 2... NO! COLE Alf a half a second away from another shot at the World Title. And look at the look of frustration on his face, you just know how much he wants that #1 contendership after the way things went at November Reign. PRL By that, I assume you mean him getting his ass pinned 1, 2, 3 fair and square? COLE He pushed you all the way though. PRL Sure. Doesn't mean he didn't lose in the end. Alf pulls Bohemoth back up, looking surprised to recieve help from Maddix as he does so. Despite a wary look the two put aside their difference to execute a double irish whip, looking for a double team. Not so much off the same page but not even reading the same book, Landon goes for a hiptoss while Alf ducks his head for a backdrop. Bo isn't going anywhere from the hiptoss and boots Alfdogg in the chest to snap him upright. He then feeds Alf into a front facelock by Landon, before breaking off... and hitting a SPEAR~! on Maddix... who in turn DDT's Alfdogg!!! "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" COLE How about two for the price of one!? The crowd erupt as Bohemoth slaps at his chest in his fired-up state. Slowly Landon begins to get back up and Bohemoth stalks him, before taking his head off with the MURDERLINE~!!~1!!~ PRL OH MY! COLE Hey, that's my line! PRL Sorry. COLE ...EXPLOSIVE clothesline, is that enough!? Bohemoth thinks so as he hooks the leg... 1... 2... ALF BREAKS IT UP! COLE Boy, where'd Alf get that from after the DDT? Grabbing Alf by the hair, Bohemoth unloads with a right hand. A second. And a third. Putting Alf on dream street the bigman then sees the opening, scooping him into the arms looking for the Erotic Awakeni... NO! Alf fights with elbows, catching Bo in the temple enough times to force him to drop him. Once on his feet, Alf quickly connects with a boot to buy an extra second, then comes off the ropes with an STO takedown! 1... 2... No! Alfdogg backs into a corner, going to the middle rope. Before he can leap though, Bohemoth charges at him and delivers a YAKUZA KICK TO THE CHEST!!! PRL Dayyum! Alf's leg ends up hooking between the ropes, leaving him hung precariously over the outside of the ring. The outside suddenly seems a much more welcoming place though, once Bohemoth pulls him back inside and into his arms, before swinging him around... ...out... ...and DOWN~! "YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE EROTIC AWAKENING OF B!! PRL Go ahead and cover him! Before Bo can do so though, in all the commotion Brickston is back in and nails Bohemoth in the back of the head with a double axehandle. Brickston then bundles himself through Bo and onto Alf as best he can trying to get the cover. Both men wind up stacked on Alfdogg's shoulders though, leaving Chioda unsure of what to do. Seeing the situation, Landon suddenly DIVES on top of the pile and urges for Chioda to hurry up and count... COLE Wait a second... 1... 2... Alf kicks... 3!!!!! ...but trapped under three bodies, he simply can't kick out! *DINGDINGDING!* PRL Huh? COLE ...that's it... but... wait, who won!? Good question. One which even referee Mike Chioda seems to be asking as he gives the signal for the bell but no official decision. Landon Maddix doesn't need one though as he's already going wild celebrating. Leaping to the floor he hugs Megan and punches the sky, despite the clear look of confusion on Megan's eyes. Seeing this, Vitamin X rushes over to the referee trying to make sure Maddix didn't win. Chioda doesn't agree, but he doesn't disagree either. PRL You've gotta be kidding me. How the hell could they screw up something so simple as this?! First guy to get the pin's the number one contender, simple... COLE But, there were three guys making the pin thou... PRL ...so who won the damn match then!?! Out of his chair, the World Champion has his hands on his hips as nobody seems to know what's going on. Even Maddix has stopped his celebrations now and marches around the ring to where Chioda is being yelled at by Vitamin X. Landon makes things worse by adding his yelling to the mix, Bohemoth up too with only Alf not arguing, due to being groggy on the mat. Eventually, with no less than four people yelling at him and angry looks being directed his way by PRL, Chioda then shocks everyone by leaving the ring and heading to the back, unable to make the call with everyone pressuring him! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" PRL Oh, son of a bitch! As Chioda leaves, Brickston and Bohemoth decide to settle matters by exchanging right hands. Landon is happy to throw his hands up and say to hell with it all though, dragging Megan off confident to get assurances that he won, as he thinks. COLE Well I really don't know what to say... PRL I do. This sucks! COLE ...and we're almost out of time, I don't think we're going to get this resolved tonight. Folks, join us next week, hopefully we'll get this mess cleared up by then at least. Goodnight from HeldDOWN~! Brickston and Bohemoth continue to slug it out, as we FADE OUT.

Backstage we find Jade Rodez-Duncan sat alongside gal pal Melody Nerdly. Poor Jade sits with her head buried in her hands, Melody able to sneak in a couple of blocks worth of Tetris DS while she's not looking, before the DS is quickly hidden and her face becomes apologetic again as soon as Jade emerges from her sorry pit of shame. JADE Oh my God, I'm so embarrassed. He must think I'm the dumbest girl alive! MELODY Oh, come on now... he's met Alix, remember? JADE He just looked at me like I was some stupid little kid. What was I even thinking asking him out, he's WAY out of my league! I mean he's way out of both our leagues, he's in a whole 'nother league... stupid, stupid, stupid! MELODY Uh... if you remember correctly, I actually went out with him once. That recollection from OAOAST shows past (seriously, it happened, Melody used to be the cool one in 2006!) doesn't exactly make Jade feel any better and she gets ever closer to sobbing her heart out. MELODY I mean... I'm just saying, is all. JADE Oh Melody, I should have took your advice back then. MELODY What? My advice back then was to ask him out and you were even more young and unexperienced at the time. Jade gets another step closer to breaking down and Melody is forced to jump in to save herself having to see it. MELODY Look, forget that, it never happened. Men In Black that. Flash! Gone. I'm no good at this, I'm sorry. I'd probably be a much better shoulder to cry on if we can wait like 20 minutes and do this over AIM. Face to face conversations aren't really my strongest fortay. Emoticons > Actual emotions. *sees Jade glaring at her* But, I mean, if you wanna do this real world style, then that's cool too. Lemme see... well, uh, okay! All you have to do is prove to him you're not a kid. Show him how mature you are... or, failing that, fake it... then maybe you'll be able to change his mind. JADE I don't think that's gonna work. MELODY Yeah, but, that's what they'd do on every sitcom I've ever seen and to be honest that's pretty much what I base all my advice on. I mean, if it fails then he'll see you were trying and since you're the heroic figure of the story who the audience is supposed to empaphise with he'll go out with you anyway. Plus we'll all get a cheap laugh at your expence in the process. Jade glares at Melody. MELODY Look, I'm telling you we should be doing this over AIM. I can link you to hundreds of funny GIFs of cats up to mischief to cheer you up. Sadly, I'm allergic to real cats, so without AIM all I can provide is myself. JADE It's okay, you're trying your best. MELODY Thanks, I guess. Look, maybe it's not that bad. Maybe you can say I put you up to it. As a joke. Then, once you're in the clear, we let him think about whether you really meant it or not. In the meantime, we'll concoct some kind of brilliant scheme to make it look like you're dating MARV. JADE Gee, I dunno... MELODY Okay, MEL, whatever. Although if you go with the ugly one, the plan might not work so well. JADE Mel, they're identical. Melody continues to formulate her sitcom worthy plan, Jade still a little dubious but beginning to warm to any ideas... ...as behind them, a figure suddenly begins to loom out of the shadows. An intimidating figure. That of MALAYSIA NERDLY! MELODY Anyway, you make him jealous... JADE I don't think he's gonna be jealous of MARV or MEL really. MELODY It doesn't matter who it is, it just has to be someone. Look, trust me, okay. I've seen it hundreds of times on hundreds of shows and it absolutely very rarely fails. As Melody and Jade continue scheming, Malaysia watches on with a sinister smile. Not before time Jade suddenly gets the unnerving feeling that she's being watched and turns around. At that point, Malaysia suddenly charges out of the shadows with a low roar and grabs hold of Jade, before throwing her face-first into the wall behind her with a *THUD!* As Jade hits the hard floor with a shout, Melody instantly jumps to her best friend's defence. Leaping onto her massive sister's back she flails wildly at her, only for Malaysia to simply shrug her off and DRIVE her boot into Melody's chest bowling her up and over her seat!!! Melody stays down, while Malaysia goes back over to Jade. She grabs the helpless Women's Champion around the throat and lifts her to her feet, pinning the petrified young Duncan girl up against the wall and leaning right in next to her ear. MALAYSIA I'm coming for what's mine... MY belt... next week. With a shove forward Malaysia releases Jade's neck finally. Gasping for air Jade falls to the floor, still terrified Malaysia isn't done with her yet. Luckily, Malaysia just needs a couple of seconds to take in her victim's fearful strangled breathing, before she walks off satisfied.

Backstage, we find Jade Rodez-Duncan, stood at the door of the In Crowd locker room. There on the other side of the divide is none other than Zack Malibu, in mid-conversation, while Jade leans up against the door frame nervously rubbing a hand up and down her right shoulder. MALIBU - but listen, you know all about what they're like, right? JADE Uh... you could say that, uh-huh. MALIBU Well don't worry, things are gonna start turning around here real soon, and for the better, I can promise you that. Look, if you're busy I can always pass a message on to Leon when he shows up, get him to come find you. JADE Oh no, no, it wasn't Leon I came to see actually. MALIBU Oh? JADE Yeah... uhm... look, can I... Before Jade can finish, in the back of the shot we see BOHEMOTH walking past, setting his bag down next to a folding chair. JADE I actually came to speak to Bo. May I? MALIBU Go right ahead. Zack lets Jade past and decides to head off himself, as a clearly still nervous Jade makes her way in. Putting down his copy of Muscle and Fitness, Bohemoth looks up and flicks his shades up over his head as Jade comes to a stop. BOHEMOTH Hey Jade, what's up? JADE Oh, uh... nothing much. Listen, can... can we talk? BOHEMOTH Sure we can, you know I'm always happy to lend an ear. Lemme guess, Maya hogging one of your fourteen bathrooms again? JADE Well, something like that... actually, no, nothing like that... uhm... listen, I just wanted to come and ask you... what you thought, about... uh... The Lions firing Matt Millen? Raising a curious eyebrow, Bohemoth looks up at Jade. BOHEMOTH The Lions? JADE Yeah. We don't have a team in LA and Mom doesn't really approve of football anyway, maybe because LA doesn't have a team like I said earlier, so I'm sticking with them, but it's not really something I can talk to her about is it? Heh. BOHEMOTH Well, I guess I figure it's about time. What about you? JADE Me? Ohh... oh, yeah, he was the worst. Couldn't call a play if he was... an announcer at the theatre? BOHEMOTH Probably not. Leon's more of an expert on the Lions than me though, maybe you oughta take it up with him. JADE Yeah, maybe. Anyway, thank you. BOHEMOTH No problem. Jade turns to leave, but stops. Gritting her teeth she can be seen mumbling something to herself, possibly words of encouragement as she forces herself to turn back around and get Bo's attention away from his muscle mag once more. JADE Uh, there was one more [i]teensy[/i] thing. BOHEMOTH Shoot. JADE Well... look, I was thinking that... maybe one day, after the show... you and me could... uhm, you know... go out sometime? I mean it doesn't have to be tonight or anything and really any time that you're not doing anything else would be fine I just thought it might be nic... BOHEMOTH Hang on a second, hold up. *stands up* Are you asking me what I think you're asking me? Jade sorta nods. Only sorta. BOHEMOTH Oh man. Listen, Jade, don't take this the wrong way or anything but, you and me? You're a really sweet girl, but, that's the thing. You're a sweet girl. It just wouldn't work. Hell, we've been friends for something like two years now and I know you probably think that since we get on so well, that's the next step. But it's not how it works. I guess I should be flattered you've got a crush on me... but that's all it is. Okay? Sadly, Jade hangs her head, managing to give another of her 'sorta nods'. BOHEMOTH Listen, I'm sorry. We're still friends, right? JADE Of course we are. It's just me being silly, that's all. I don't know what even gave me the idea, heh! BOHEMOTH So we're cool? JADE Cool as a... ice! I guess one half-decent metaphor is as much as you can hope for in one segment. Anyway, Jade puts on a smile as she leaves the locker room, only breaking once her back is definately turned to Bohemoth. We hear hurried footsteps scurrying off as Bohemoth just sighs, shaking his head as he goes back to his magazine.

to rejoin Leon Rodez in his trail around the arena. Sat down on a equipment trunk Leon taps his finger against it impatiently, with a cellphone clamped against his ear. With every passing second the tapping gets quicker and he seems to get more frustrated, until he pulls the phone away to see that he's been disconnected. LEON Damnit Maggie, c'mon! Leon goes to dial the number again... but stops halfway through and snaps it shut, angrily sticking it back in his pocket. Jumping to his feet Leon then goes back to what he was doing earlier, namely trudging around looking for somebody. He doesn't have far to go this time, finding himself outside the locker room of The Enterprise. Leon takes a couple of seconds to steel himself, a deep breath before going to open the door... ...and he stops, finding who he wants [i]outside[/i], much to his relief. At the end of the hallway stands Molly Nerdly, discussing something with an OAOAST camera man who's been pulled away from filming random backstage conversations without anyone noticing. So another camera man doing the exact same thing follows Leon down the hallway as he approaches Molly. MOLLY (inspecting the camera) Ah yes, I remember this model. Very sturdy and dependable. Maybe that's why OAOAST head office won't shell out for new top of the range models. Now, the only problem is, the video-out port tends to... LEON Excuse me. Can I BUTT in? The OAOAST camera man quickly leaves while the opening is there. Frozen on the spot, Molly slowly turns around and once she sees the voice was from who she assumed it was, her eyes grow wider. Taken a little by surprised at the starstruck look he's getting, Leon shakes it off. LEON Look, after last week there's some things I need to do to put my mind at rest. And I know a few weeks ago, Reject got to you and he kicked you in the ribs... uhm, are you okay? MOLLY Why... yes, it's just... it's you! LEON Huh? Oh, yeah. I get it, I'm not the most popular person with your family right now. MOLLY No no no, far from it. My silly sisters and yourself are none of my concern. I meant... it's you. It's Leon Rodez, in the flesh, here, standing in front of me... forgive me for being so bold, but I... I'm a big fan of yours. LEON Oh, really. MOLLY Honestly, yes, I don't wish to sound sarcastic. For months I've seen you walk around these halls and I've been too nervous to say anything to you, but really I've harboured admiration for you from afar for some time. Awkward as that may be with my current situation. But I... I'm a big fan of your movies. Not exactly what he was expecting to hear, Leon turns around half-expecting an ambush, or at the least someone to laugh at the ruse. But it seems Molly is being genuine, especially from the still starstruck look on her face. LEON Are you for real? MOLLY I'm never anything but when discussing great works of film! Christian had copies laying around still from his days of trying to discredit your career with them. LEON Oh yeah, I vaguely remember that. MOLLY And I happened upon them routing through the vaults of Stately Money Manor and... well, I've been a fan ever since. How could I not? Am I correct in thinking you directed most of your later pictures yourself? LEON Well... actually, yes, I did. MOLLY (to self) Then the rumours were true. Oh, I always believed them to be, but you always worry of lost artistic integrity in this world. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to hear it from you! Let me start by saying, your adept use of lighting to accentuate character's moods and inner feelings is something to behold. And the way your movies transfer so seamlessly from shot to shot to further feelings of tension and excitement... well, it's not the work of a amateur, let me assure you of that! You have to have a talent for it. And you have that in abundance. LEON So, hang on... let me get this straight, you're saying that I'm a good director? On the basis of a couple of my old movies? MOLLY Of course! The material may not have been highbrow or poignant in any way if you don't mind me saying so, but your ability to create a vision and put it up on the screen shone through all the shoddy acting it accompanied. That is the true mark of a great director, to make the most of what he or she is given. LEON Well, this is a first. Still hardly be able to believe what he's hearing, Leon can't help but smile a little. LEON You know, if you're watching my movies and the first thing you notice is the lighting, I should probably be offended. MOLLY (sheepishly) Oh, well, I did notice some other things as well. LEON Glad to hear it. Suddenly, Leon's cellphone starts to go off in his pocket. Holding up a pausing finger he pulls the phone from his pocket... and casually turns it off and replaces it. LEON Sorry about that. MOLLY Oh no, please. I don't wish to hold you up. Perhaps we could continue this conversation a little later, because I do have some questions I'd like to probe you with. I'm a film studies student when not roaming these corridors you see and any advice from a professional such as yourself would be remarkably helpful. LEON .....sure, we can probably arrange something. Always a pleasure to meet a fan like yourself. MOLLY Oh, goodness! You flatter me. I do know a good coffee shop with a fantastic atmosphere, if that sounds okay. Shall we say 8? LEON Well, so long as the atmosphere isn't included in the bill. MOLLY :lol: As Molly breaks out into laughter, Leon continues to wonder what the hell is going on. Molly's laughter continues to ring around the corridors until she disappears into the Enterprise dressing room, leaving Leon behind to wonder if that really just happened. COACH A meeting, at a coffee shop, with a Nerdly, huh? Boy, that sap just don't learn his lesson does he?

From the arena we go backstage, to find the troubled figure of Leon Rodez roaming the hallways. Head down and avoiding the various OAOAST workers he passes on his way, Leon suddenly comes to a stop, as he finds who he's looking for apparantly. There stands Landon Maddix, busy talking over strategy with Megan Skye ahead of his match tonight in what was a secluded part of the arena. Megan quickly points Leon out and Landon turns around to face him. MADDIX Something you want? LEON Easy. I just came to speak to Megan. MADDIX Oh, really? Well, I hate to break it to you hot stuff, but although the name begins with the right letter, she's not a Nerdly, so your charms aren't gonna work on her. Doing his best to ignore the wide grin on Landon's face, Leon lets the insult go. LEON Look, after last week there's some things I need to do to put my mind at rest. And I know a few weeks ago, Reject got to you and hit you with the Eulogy. I know we've never gotten along, but that's not important. None of this mess would have ever come to pass if it wasn't for me and Maggie falling out and... you got caught in the crossfire, so I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for what happened to you. Megan takes a dubious look at Landon, who starts to chuckle under his breath. MEGAN The Eulogy? Who cares!? That was weeks ago. Give me some credit. I'm a lot tougher than the bimbos that you associate yourself with. MADDIX Yeah that's right, you bimbo associator! Go take your damaged little conscience elsewhere and find somebody who might give a damn for your pity. That is if any other female in this company will even give you the time of day anymore. And, a little word of advice, after watching your match last week. If you're within three feet, you might want to keep those knees close tight together. You know... just incase. Chuckling to himself again Landon wraps an arm around Megan and takes her to find another place to discuss their match in private. Leon is left standing with hands on hips, looking sorrier for himself than he did before. [i]#It's too late to 'pologize... it's too laaaatteeee... said it's to late to apolo...#[/i] Leon slowly turns and glares, as a few feet away stands ALIX MARIA SPEZIA outside a dressing room door. Moving her hand up and down in the air trying to find her 'range', she suddenly notices she's being stared at and her eyebrows raise. ALIX Oh... uh, sorry, I'll go practise somewhere else. Quickly she ducks back into the dressing room, leaving Leon to go back to his hands on hips state. ALIX (off-screen) [i]#Oh, I like your mother so much better when she's naked, I like your mother so much better when she's naked, I like your mothe...#[/i] JADE (off-screen) Will you stop singing that at me!? COACH Ha, Leon straight stays getting burned! Whack this guy in a straightjacket and lock him away before the depression gets any worse! COLE Have you got no compassion? All Leon was trying to do was apologise for what happened to Megan a few weeks back. COACH Yeah well, if he's thinking of apologising to everybody he needs to, he's in for a long ass night. He might wanna start with the girlfriend he's on a trial seperation with, maybe that'd be a good idea.

Nope. Regular show. Four-sided ring, no TNA signs and above all SWF announcers. Come on, I wouldn't inflict that on you.

Okay, on we go. The next two shows will be October shows, but there's a bit of a difference this month. The first show will be a throwback to the old... well, sorta old... days of yorn, called AftershoxXx. I never liked that name, but whatever. Anyway, this'll be a little interim break if you will. Then we'll get back to our normal routine with a regular show, All Hallows 2, in late October. So, two things to note for this month. 1) For AftershoxXx, we as in the old days would like to see as many promos from as many people as possible. AftershoxXx basically existed as a promo show in the not-so olden days and it'd be nice to get back to that on this ocassion after Genesis. It's a chance to further whatever storylines you might have, do some character devlopment, put something in for a show to show us your commitment to the fed which will serve you well in terms to the next few shows (this one in particular I'd like to stress). We'll try to have the All Hallows card, or the more important parts of it, up before AftershoxXx's deadline so you can promo for your next match if you're out of ideas otherwise. Anyway, let's see what you've got promo-wise people. 2) We won't be having any competitive matches for AftershoxXx. But we've got plenty of deadweight jobber characters. So anyone who'd like a squash match, say the word and we'll throw you an enhancement character. Certain people who might need, for some reason, to get our attention by writing a match would be well served to take advantage of this opportunity. That said, make yourselves available, or otherwise.

To be fair, he was an acceptable worker, if not great, and probably wouldn't have quite as much of the bad reputation he has now if not for his late 90s, early 2000s era work. Everything post Russo's arrival was the pits. One match with Buff Bagwell sticks out as being particularly awful, I forget which PPV.

Watching an old show recently with the table up there and seeing Kane come out during it, quite frankly I don't blame him. I don't imagine Booker T's entrance was fun either. At least with Booker they could kinda prepare themselves. Kane's entrance often started with pyro. And sometimes in the middle of sentences.

Phhf. It was a thread with Noah Fentz arguing about some dumb shit with a bunch of people stupid enough to try and bother to argue with him. Wait a couple days and another one'll materialise all by it's self.

Watching an old show recently with the table up there and seeing Kane come out during it, quite frankly I don't blame him.

Conspiracy theory: they didn't have Haas show up because he's going to be Santino's IC Title opponent, so they didn't want to tip it by announcing the phone vote for three long-gone WWE/F superstars and having the resident wrestler who imitates long-gone WWE/F superstars on the same show. But, I dunno.

I still they they should have had PAC in the Vulture Squad. And Helios would have been a better CHIKARA choice than Jigsaw. Corkscrew 630, Shooting Stardust AND Double Moonsault in the same stable? But Jig's from New York, so he fits. PAC'd just be weird, unless he were some sort of one night only inclusion. And Helios... eh. He's no Ricochet, lemme tell ya. They absolutely blew it with Claudio too. He should be face World Champion right now. Instead they booked him to look like a total bitch and killed his momentum to the point that he had to go heel on Danielson to recover. How they ruined such a surefire thing really puts pay to those 'Gabe is a genius' boasts you always hear.

I was always a big mark for the Lex Express run to Summerslam '93 as a kid. Not so much for Luger himself, as much as the actual build-up. It's so cheesy looking back at it, but the bus, the whole ultra patriotism aspect of the character... "I'll Be Your Hero", easily one of the greatest songs in wrestling history. It wasn't the sort of thing they could keep going though, I don't think. After the way he beat Yokozuna he was struggling. Even if he'd won the title at Summerslam though, it's hard to see how they could have kept the momentum going, especially with his prospective opponents. I always enjoyed his run as US Champion in NWA/WCW as well. He was never the most natural looking wrestler, but he was capable of a good or even great match. Like Cena, I suppose. I've always had a soft-spot for his couple of matches with Stan Hansen on WCW PPV. And the tag match w/Sting vs. The Steiners at Superbrawl, another really good match. I can't think of many if any WWF matches that were on a par quality wise with his NWA/WCW efforts.

not only that, but you took a shot at Ruckus (and CZW), and das not cool! *prepares to defend spot monkeys and garbage wrestling* I don't have anything against Ruckus per se. Just ROH booking him to win that 'Honor Rumble' and be yet another lame-duck challenger for the World Title, when they could have used to it to make someone else look less like a lame-duck. Phhf, whatever! If I'd had cared I'd have done some work and double-checked it or something.

And a record high for income I'm sure. Plenty of people(/kids) will still vote regardless. And WWE'll get $1 for each of them. I'm sure that'll more than make up for quantity of votes, which isn't really important since just the percentages matter. EDIT: Also, are they actually going with Khali as the light-hearted face giant? Or is that just wishful thinking. "The Great Khali says he'll call you" alone has put him on the verge of being one of my favourites, all they have to do is have him destroy Knoxville next week and he'll be made.

For what it's worth, I think MVP's looked sluggish for a long time and his crowd reactions have been going downhill since before Triple H showed up and BERRIED~! him. Right now, if I'd just started watching WWE two weeks ago and saw MVP, I wouldn't say as I see huge potential in him, regardless of wins and losses. But to say he has no charisma is a stretch. He's still got a good delivery in promos, still does some of the 'little things' that show he's got some sort of presence about him. I just re-watched the segment he had with Michael Hayes last year and he didn't look out of place dueling with a great promo guy like him. So he's got charisma. He's just struggling at the moment is all. Honestly, who's better right now? I'd say Jericho would be somewhere up there and that's about it with Edge currently out.

Okay, a card is up. Anyone else who decides they want a squash match, let us know. Anyone who wants to give definate confirmation yes or no on All Hallows should continue to do so. Anyone who wants to take issue with me taking shots at TNA and ROH can come test me.

The SWF presents... AFTERSHOxXx!!! LIVE to DVD from SOUNDSTAGE 21 of UNIVERSAL STUDIOS in Orlando, Florida, 7pm EST, WEDNESDAY, 15th OCTOBER Tenay: Wow DDubya can you believe this the SWF has invaded the Impact Zone and the crowd are on their feet as the SWF wrestlers are here let's send it TO THE BACK~! West: Oh my god would you look at this scene Mike as everybody on the SWF roster walks around minding their own business not really doing anything worthy of me RAISING MY VOICE CAN..YOU..BELIEVE..THIS!? UN...FREAKIN'...BELIEVABLE AS LANDON MADDIX FILLS UP HIS CUP OF COFFEE AND IS HE GONNA DO WHAT I THINK HE'S GONNA DO YES HE IS HE JUST DRUNK OUTTA THAT COFFEE CUP OH MY WORD DOES THIS MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS!!?!?!?! Tenay: Xiddam is Maddix spelled backwards! YES, we've got a smaller show so we're taking it to the fine non-paying public of Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida for one night only. It's AftershoxXx, just like the old days except missing about 24 unneccessary X's. We're streamlined now. We're 'edge'. And in Orlando we will stand on the edge of All Hallows 2, after the magnitude of Genesis IX, bringing you all of this! _xXx_IN ACTION_xXx_ _xXx_THE GTA FIGHT TEAM_xXx_ ( vs. The Sensational Academy of Panic and Danny Meadows) After a tough defeat at Genesis, there's two roads to go in the SWF. One is redemption, the other obscurity. Well it didn't take The GTA Fight Team long to walk up and give obscurity a big slap in the face, determined to get themselves into the SWF Tag Team Title hunt, #1 Contendership or no #1 Contendership! And even with The NYC awaiting, new champs The Breslins would be wise to keep an eye on Tod and his protegé in this match, against Toxxic's lamented students from the Sensational Academy. _xXx_MANSON_xXx_ ( vs. Legs Flamingo) MANSON made everybody stand up and take notice at Genesis IX with an impressive showing and victory at the expense of Longdogger Pete. It seems after a few tough months, the unpredictable SWF mainstay has something more to prove though as he requested action in Orlando. Perhaps a chance to build a winning streak and some valuable momentum beckons, as MANSON has been fed the Phillipino flamingo lover that is Legs Flamingo. This oughta ruffle a few feathers... ...I'm sorry, that's terrible, even for me. _xXx_JOSE MANGERIA_xXx_ ( vs. Ced Ordonez) Ah, a new dose of fresh blood post-Genesis. Many years ago a man by the name of Toxxic took this route into the SWF if memory serves. Whatever happened to him? Anyway, the first new blood of the 2008-2009 season will hope to follow in those lofty footsteps, “The Void Anarchist” Jose Mangeria. We know little of him yet (although maybe we'll hear from him during the show as well, perhaps?), aside from the fact he's described as 'pretty moody' by our aforementioned General Manager after signing off on his contract. And when Toxxic thinks you're moody, you must be pretty moody. We'll see how the self-styled survivor fares against the SWF welcoming party of so many years, Ced Ordonez. _xXx_PLUS_xXx_ So, not too many matches you say. But, if you're like me, if you like wrestling then you'll buy every show your preffered company puts out. I mean, not like those obsessive ROH guys who buy every single DVD, even the ones where Ruckus is challenging for the World Title. Those people must be super broke. But every show that a company who only run twice a month and doesn't do financially crippling double-shots every other weekend? Sure! So we know you're gonna want to buy this DVD if you're like me. And you'd be right to do so. You might hear from such people as current SWF World Champion Va'aiga, his vanquished Genesis opponent Michael Alexander, new SWF Tag Champions The Breslins, the newly return Thoth... Thoth, people, Thoth!... Cruiserweight Champion Taiga Star, The Dance Dance Dragon... oh, wait, he doesn't talk, does he. Nevermind. But others do! Hot damn we got your promos right here! (send all your matches and promos to King Cucaracha)

Well I'm going to get a 'card' up tommorrow and I should think about a week and a half's time, so about the 15th. Unless that poses problems. Then All Hallows should fit nicely somewhere around Halloween. Almost as if we planned it! Okay, scratch that, I didn't have the free-time over the weekend I expected. Hopefully there'll be a 'card' tonight, even though there'll be only like 2/3 matches and all squashes so it hardly counts as a 'card' anyway.
