(Y) @ getting highest pop of the -active wrestlers- on the list. Even a big low charisma slow bastard like me can get cheered.

Z said 25 at one point so I just went with that, eh. I dunno, Danny could be Lord of the Elbows maybe.

We fade in from the SWF logo. It is a wrestling ring, with a single figure standing in the middle. Lifting his arms triumphantly, the superstar known as Taylor Nicholas Thompson celebrates with the sound of AC/DC's "TNT" playing in the background. Words flash up onto the screen. [sWF CLUSTERFUCK 2003 WINNER: "TNT" TAYLOR NICHOLAS THOMPSON] This image fades out, and nothing but pitch blackness fills the screen. Faint at first, but growing stronger, the sound of a heartbeat becomes evident. Pulsating, throbbing, growing louder and stronger. In time with this heartbeat, the screen begins to flash white, gaining speed and intensity. The beat continues for long moments, until there is one final white flash that lingers on the screen before fading away, revealing a face in grainy black and white, with bright green eyes. And a voice. "My name is Terrence." A sound like booming thunder echoes forth, and for a moment those green eyes are an ominous red. "It is also Janus." A second boom, and the eyes return to normal. The face of Terrence 'Janus' Bailey flickers, before the image cracks like glass and falls apart. It reveals the seven footer pacing back and forth across a black and white wrestling ring, clearly pumping himself up. His voice continues to greet our ears as words flash across the screen. [TWENTY FIVE GO IN. ONE COMES OUT.] "There are many faces in the SWF Clusterfuck...such as the underdog..." The ghostly face of the King of Nightmares, Michael Craven, hangs over the image of the pacing Anti-Heel Machine. It is only there for a few seconds before it vanishes again. "...Old rivals..." The cocky, confident face of the Spectacular One overlays the pacing monster for several moments before also fading out. "...New rivals..." Side by side, the faces of Charlie Grappler Matthews and The Notorious One John Duran appear and snarl at us. But they are as ghostly and ominous as the faces of before, while all the time Terrence paces in the ring, solid and real. "Big men..." The face of HVT fills the screen for several seconds, the former World Champion screaming his rage. "Little men..." The painted face of the Bahaman Bomber Wildchild stares out at us, focused and full of life, before fading away. Finally, the Anti-Heel Machine stops and looks straight at the screen, his green eyes still the only thing in full colour in this image. "And though it is every man for himself, there are still friends." The image shudders and ripples, filling with colour, showing a wrestling ring surrounded by screaming fans, as the Anti-Heel Machine stands next to the High Priest of Horrorcore Dace Night, and the Black Angel, Aecas! The three tilt their heads back and spray a mist of blood into the air as Machine Head's 'Davidian' roars into life! "I'll never live in the past! LET FREEDOM RING WITH A SHOTGUN BLAST!" The camera shows the Black Angel brutally hitting the Executioner on some poor victim, and the crowd roaring in delight! It is instantly followed by the High Priest of Horrorcore crushing a jobber's skull with his old Dark Star Driver, and then the Anti-Heel Machine cratering an opponent's head into the ground with the ADF II! And all the while, the anthem of the Unholy Trinity still roars in the background. As clips of the three men's most brutal moves continues to play, Terrence continues to narrate. "Dace and I have gone far together. Aecas, I have known for some time. All three of us will be in the Clusterfuck, and when it comes down to the last men...they will still be there with me." The camera zooms in on the enraged look on the Anti-Heel Machine's face as he hits his old finisher, the Dark Bomb, on some poor jobber, many months ago. "Because even though we shoot for the gold, we Will protect them." The next clips show Terrence, followed by Dace, charging out to rescue the Black Angel from the evil plan of Chris Raynor! It then cuts to the Maori Badass Va'aiga nearly breaking Dace's neck with the Va'aiga Stinger, before cutting to the Night Before Christmas street fight, where the Hell Machine screwdrivers Va'aiga's head into the ground! The sound of the heartbeat echoes again in the background, fast paced, aggressive, and the screen starts to flash again, pulsing white. "I stand firm in my solidarity The path I walk (the path I walk) I walk in with my own resolve..." "The only way to stop me will to be eliminate me. First in or last in, fresh as a daisy or beaten to a pulp, I will not be easy prey. Whether I win the Clusterfuck or not, one thing is clear. The path to my friends...is through ME!" "When darkness falls (when darkness falls)... We are reborn! A dream since the fall of man! We are reborn..." We are treated to a last look at the Anti-Heel Machine, looking straight at the camera as it goes grainy black and white. One eye green, the other eye red, his face full of focused intent. He stares directly at the screen as it fades to black, replaced once more with the logo of the SWF, and the final whisper of Terrence 'Janus' Bailey. "For we are many..."

Considering I've already -started- the tag match, it'll have to be after the 'fuck. You will be teh owned anyway. Besides, didn't the Mark/Duran promo set it for the 8th of Feb. rather than Duran's preferred 26th of Jan.?

It was around 2am my time when the show went up, so I reacted annoyedly. It would've been nice to know about beforehand (and hey, I could've worked it into my match, in hindsight). But... yeah. Try and remember to find a way to ask me next time. I'm a nice guy.

Should be fun writing a Terrence/Danny combo. w00t!

S'alright Mark, everyone has problems from time to time, and we understand fully *looks at rest of SWFers* Don't we? Anyway, the show. Duran Attacks Terrence ~ If Notorious doesn't ask me about a promo like this next time, I will inflict pain upon him. Comprende? Terrence 'Janus' Bailey vs 'The Coyote' Coy West ~ I win, yay me. My marking record with Z is now something like 2-999 MVS Talks About Tom Flesher ~ Mike has had beef with Tom for years, and he wants to take Tom on, baby! Wildchild vs Stryke ~ Double no show. Boo. Craven Wants Another Title Shot ~ The King of Nightmares is PISSED that Danny beat him and wants another shot, threatening Stevens for the....what, sixth or seventh time? Tom Talks About MVS ~ Tom rambles to himself about how he beat MVS so long ago. Tom Flesher vs Andrew Blackwell ~ Personally, I think haikus suck, and so I composed my own haiku about this match. Winning by haiku Is a stupid way to win Sacred owns Tom's ass. Grand Slam Teaches Craven A Lesson ~ And Michael Craven is Number One in the ClusterFuck, which means he has to survive EVERYONE! Mike Van Siclen vs Charlie Matthews ~ Matthews beats Mike. Pity, I was rooting for the Spectacular One. STOP! CONTINUE! Va'aiga vs HVT ~ And Thugg beats Va'aiga, declares his intent to go after the World Title, and gets attacked by the Maori! Woo!

A million no shows eh? *cracks knuckles* That makes it aaaaaall the more easier for meeeeee.

*shrugs, polishes HIS Hardcore Gamers Championship, then clubs WC with it*

*mumbles something about being poorly represented in that tag match and hits Johnny with a steel chair*

My Mullet > Ejiro's New Character's Mullet

Hey, WC, miss this?

A pity it had to happen, but the talent pool has gone down and stuff like that. Good luck to all the JLers when they join us at the Clusterfuck. I hope to see all your asses in the ring so I can promptly throw them out. And Todd? The Trinity will be waiting for your tag team...

Happy birthday to the dude I carried all the way to the SWF, MVS.

..... .......... ...................... *runs around screaming that there's too many men to keep track of, has an aneurysm, and dies*

Seconded~!

TAG TEAM HOSS CLASH~!

Good show. Dace and I wrote a fun match, but we were running out of space so although it was fun, it felt a bit rushed. Congrats to Johnny and WC for getting their tag title shot. TRINITY PRIDE~! Danny's champ~! Hmm. Now we need Dace to win a title so the entire Trinity can be goldholders. Again, good show. (Y)

*gathers pitchforks and burning torches, distributes them, and leads a mob of angry SWFers to Raynor's place*

You know, if I had an Xbox and lived in the US, this would be the perfect opportunity to write that lemon involving Annie and a furry lesbian character. Ah well.

Xstasy vs Va'aiga ~ X to job to the Maori who jobbed to me on the last PPV Stryke vs Michael Craven ~ I'll back my fellow Sydneysider, just because Craven's...Craven. HARDCORE MATCH "The Superior One" Tom Flesher vs Crow ~ Tom is Tom, but Crow excels in the hardcore environment. Aussie pride says I pick the bird. TITLE FOR TITLE, ICTV vs UNITED STATES CHAMPIONSHIP Linchpin© vs Charlie "Grappler" Matthews© ~ Is Muzz alive? If he is, Muzzums to win. TORNADO TAG TEAM MATCH, NO-DQ Dace Night & Terry "Janus" Bailey vs Wild & Dangerous ~ It's Terrence, dammit! TERRENCE! With the no-DQ stip, this will be fun. No real prediction. Mike Van Siclen vs The HVille Thugg ~ The man I carried through the JL and into the WF to win WORLD TITLE MATCH Danny Williams vs Ejiro Fasaki© ~ Trinity Pride says Danny, but I doubt Ejiro will let go of the belt so soon.
