Toxxic

You mean apart from his match against Kibagami on the show you just posted?

no no no Dace, it's King marking this match. It's Z who pushes me. And SD5 comes to my aid again Stryke vs. Todd Cortez ~I say Cotez ~No CAW for Stryke yet Tables Match (Crow, Dace and Spike) ~I say Dace ~No CAWs for Spike or Crow yet Cruiser Contenders, Part One: Insane Luchardore vs. Austin Sly ~I say Sly. He's the new Toxxic. Even though I've only been here three months ~No CAWs yet Cruiser Contenders, Part Two: Electric Boogalou...I mean Jacob Helmsley vs. Alan Clark ~I say Clark ~Again, no CAWs Hardcore Title: MVS vs. Aecas ~Gotta be the Black Angel ~After taking two and a half minutes to break out a chair, Aecas wins with an Executioner on the outside USJL belt: Maddix vs. West ~LANDON IS GOLD! ~No CAWs Submissive Cage Of Redemption (sounds like a bad porn name) ~I want it to be Duran. Flesher is Flesher, but Duran needs a good win after losing his title. ~Just a Pin, Give Up and Escape cage match on SD5 cos that's all it's got. And Flesher wins with a... front facelock? WTF? #1 Contendah~! Match: Kibs vs. Toxxic ~No prediction. Actually, I say Kibs ~SD5 says the Toxxic Shock Syndrome puts him down in 5 minutes flat

But in Kib's stats it clearly states that he'll lock a headlock or front facelock onto a cruiser to slow them down and control the match. Can't argue with that. I LOVED the headlock. I also loved the Office Brawl. Hell, the whole show was good but the Brawl ruled all. Landon is Gold. How many times do i need to tell you people?

No, cos I'm gonna beat him But seriously folks... there are other people who could conceivably be in the main event. But they're all kind of involved in something now (Taamo and Dace are starting to feud, Duran is on the rebound but may well come back later, Coy has the USJL belt, etc). When i did that promo I wasn't expecting a Number One Contender's match - I was just expecting a match, so i didn't expect to be thrown into the World Title picture at all. But Kibs is certainly a good enough writer to be there, and perhaps more importantly is one of the only ones free to do so. But then again, I just promo'd cos Toxxic is a mouthy shite, and there would be NO WAY he would see someone he beat a few weeks ago leapfrog him into the main event without kicking up shit. Maybe Coy should start kicking up shit more? On another topic, the Ejiro character left after losing the World belt. Then the man who beat him, Danny, left after getting beat by Va'aiga, who left when he got beat by Grappler, who's on extended hiatus after getting beat by Duran - Duran, please don't leave as well.

I like it - Duran is facing up to his responsibilities as Champion. And getting ready to kick Danny's backside. All good stuff.

Is chat where it still used to be? I haven't seen a soul in there for DAYS.

MAIN EVENT SWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Danny Williams vs John Duran Danny has been patient, and now he faces the new world champion. Nothing else to it. Just raw energy and power. Todd Cortez vs Nathaniel Kibagami Kibagami made some boasts about being the next world champion. He’ll face Todd Cortez, who may be a diamond in the rough. OFFICE BRAWL #1 CONTENDERSHIP TO THE USJL TITLE Landon Maddix vs Austin Sly vs Stryke vs Insane Luchador vs Jacob Helmsley We need to shuffle some papers. So here is what will be done. These guys will be in the SWF offices, and stacks of paper will be present. If you are put through a stack of paper, you are eliminated. Winner gets a shot at Coy and his USJL belt. Ann Onita vs Dace Night Ann’s sister deserted her for another man. Distraught, she looks to take out FEMININE RAGE on Dace Night. HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Jimmy Liston vs Mike Van Siclen They’re gonna bleed! Alan Clark & Coy West vs Janus & Aecas Crazy tag partners that can’t get along! The Trinity is no more, but these two have the belts. The match is non-title. What... could... possibly... happen?! Crow vs Tom Flesher Tom’s got a new bitch. Crow has a bitch, I think, but I can’t remember. Maybe she’s dead. Or not. I dunno. Crow does a lot of drugs. Spike Jenkins vs Tryst THEY TOOK OUR JOBS

MAIN EVENT SWF CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH Danny Williams vs John Duran Danny has been patient, and now he faces the new world champion. Nothing else to it. Just raw energy and power. ~SD5 says Duran retains via a Full Nelson into a Dragon Suplex ~I also think Duran retains, although maybe not by that means. It's touch and go, and Danny DID beat him last time... but I give the new champion this one Todd Cortez vs Nathaniel Kibagami Kibagami made some boasts about being the next world champion. He’ll face Todd Cortez, who may be a diamond in the rough. ~I have no CAWs for these two yet ~I say Kibs OFFICE BRAWL #1 CONTENDERSHIP TO THE USJL TITLE Landon Maddix vs Austin Sly vs Stryke vs Insane Luchador vs Jacob Helmsley We need to shuffle some papers.

Crow's good, but few can compete with Flesher in a regular stip Spike Jenkins vs Tryst THEY TOOK OUR JOBS ~No CAWs ~I'll give it to Tryst

'Tis a sad thing to see the Trinity go. I never knew the first incarnation, and only briefly knew the second - but unlike the different incarnations of, say, the nWo, the last was still damn good. So now I can look forward to being beaten up by three separate nutters with grudges, as opposed to a stable of nutters with grudges... Nice promo Dace. Good stuff.

What the fuck did you just say? Beats me. I'm waiting for Anglesault to show up and translate.

Serious? Whoah...

If you're looking for a feud then feel free to start something, Hick boy. Assuming the Trinity don't get to me first.

In warfare there is death, or there is triumph. But there are always the injured from both sides, the people who in some respects evaded either fate. The ones who got taken out before the end, who fell in combat but lived for another day. They will see either a new world, reshaped around them into a new image, or witness the end of what they knew and the birth of something foreign to them. Pity the walking wounded, for whatever side they were once on they are now removed from choice and cut off from the changes. They have swapped their weapons for beds, and the terrifying but exhilarating world of the Battleground for the sterile hospital ward. “Are you sure you’re alright?” A voice is heard in the corridors of Albuquerque General Hospital. A woman’s voice, and one not convinced that the answer she is receiving is the correct one. “Look; I feel alright, they say I’m alright, and when we get back to the hotel I’m gonna bloody show you I’m alright,” a male voice replies. The tone is light-hearted rather than angry, but underneath there is a hint of frustration. “Then why are you still wearing the neck brace?” The speaker comes into view in the hospital reception area, a slim girl with black-and-red dreadlocks and wearing baggy skate pants, army boots and a cut-off black T-shirt. She is walking backwards in front of the owner of the other voice, a young man who is indeed wearing a neck brace and looking non too happy about it. Toxxic stops and sighs. His hair is drooping down the sides of his head, his nail varnish is chipped and his eyeliner got washed off on sunday night after he was brought here in an ambulance from the University Arena. He doesn’t look like himself, and he doesn’t feel like himself. Irritably, the Straight-Edge Sensation goes to crack his neck from side-to-side like he always does - and the padded blue plastic of the brace stops him, although it doesn’t stop the painful twinge that shoots down his spine as a result. He reaches up to massage it, but his hand only encounters more blue plastic, cutting him off from himself. “I’m wearing this because I got dropped on my head through a table by a seven-foot psycho,” he tells Jet with more patience than he feels, absent-mindedly massaging the neck brace as if it’ll help. Several people passing them catch the brief exchange and look round in surprise, but he ignores them. They either won’t know who he is and what he’s talking about, or they’ll know damn well and think Aecas shouldn’t have stopped there. Fuck them. “But I’m OK to leave here, as long as there’s no immediate risk that it’ll happen again in the near future.” “So are you staying away from the fed until you’re cleared to wrestle?” Jet asks him, crossing her arms and fixing him with a stare. “NO!” The word comes out quicker and louder than he meant it, and turns a couple more heads. Jet looks almost hurt and Toxxic modulates his tone before continuing, but there is an underlying bitterness there. “I’ve been in the SWF three months, and in that time I have been the only person to compete on every single show on which there has been a match. Aecas has stopped that, but I am damned if that oversized freak is going to keep me away. I am going to be there, and I am going to do exactly what I always do. Except wrestle.” “So what are you going to do then?” Jet asks, falling in beside Toxxic as he starts to cross to the main desk. The right side of the straight-edger’s face quirks upwards in a grin. “Oh, I don’t know. Annoy whoever the Commissioner is now.” They reach the desk and Toxxic attracts the attention of the duty nurse. “Michael Stephens,” he tells her, handing over the paper he’s holding. “I’m being discharged.” “So you are,” the nurse smiles up at him. As she countersigns the bottom she notices the dreadlocked girl looking down at her and wonders whether her smile should have been quite so friendly... but the girl looks more thoughtful than jealous. As she starts to hand the discharge papers back the nurse seems to remember something, and turns round to rummage briefly before handing over a small brown paper parcel. “This came for you in the post this morning,” she tells the straight-edger. ‘She wasn’t bad, was she?” Jet murmurs thoughtfully as the pair cross the reception towards the door. The words don’t register with her boyfriend for a moment, as Toxxic steps through the doors and out of the hospital, pausing briefly to savour the fact that once again, he can go where he likes and do what he likes. Then Jet’s words catch his attention, and he turns a querying eye back at her. “Nothing special, I’d say,” he replies, eying his girlfriend. “What in particular caught your attention?” “I guess I like girls in uniform,” Jet shrugs, sticking her hands in her pockets and grinning up at him. “So that’s why you kept the Girl Scout clothes,” Toxxic says in mock-realisation. Jet punches him playfully on the shoulder, then grabs his face and pulls it down to hers for a second. “No, that’s so you can show me how well you are later,” she tells him. Her eyes flick down to the package. “What’s that?” “Dunno.” Toxxic stops and looks at the package for a second. Who knew he was in hospital? Come to think of it, who in this country sends him things anyway? Wordlessly, he slips a finger in one end and tears the seal, then reaches in and pulls out a piece of paper. Toxxic frowns and unfolds it; the words inside are printed in a neat, slightly gothic hand: “Until Next Time...” With a bad feeling in his stomach, Toxxic upends the package over his hand. A small, long and thin object falls out and tinkles gently as it lands in his palm. The Straight-Edge Sensation and his girlfriend stare down at it, one in confusion and the other in abrupt realisation. It is a plain cat’s collar. And, attached to the front of it, is a small bell. “I still don’t get it,” Jet says, puzzled. “Why is someone sending you a cat collar?” “It’s not the collar that’s important,” Toxxic answers. “And it’s a private joke.” He clenches his fist around collar and paper and shoves them into his pocket, before turning and setting off across the car park at such a pace that Jet has difficulty in keeping up.

Sorry man, I thought you'd agreed to it in the end! Well, you could just request time off from the bookers for "Jimmy time" or something... Either way, good to see another soon-to-be-active face around.

I LIKE it. You're talking in the third person without ripping off the Rock, because you sound paranoid. Go Liston!

Yup. He was a little pressed for time before the PPV and I had a lot of free time last week, so i offered to take it on myself, but he's around and prepared to show apparently. I will let him know that he won the title though, just in case he hasn't seen it.

Fuck, this guy is even more conceited than Toxxic! Nice promo Sly - this is what I was talking about. Really puts over what an absolute arse you are. All you need now is some similar reaction to the other wrestlers and in my inexperienced opinion you are WELL on your way to becoming a big star.

Liston got the belt because our little team is no more, so we didn't want the tag titles. I wanted the damn ICTV belt but it seemed a little unfair to deny Liston the chance to win anything. Oh and Mike - I think Aecas may want a "word" with you about the whole Hardcore contender thing...

SWF Favorite Writer(s): Kibagami probably. All the ME types are great, but I love Flesher and Duran's commentary quotes. Favorite Promo(s): Whichever one I'm about to write. It never turns out quite as I want it to, but hey. For ones I've actually seen in my short time here - I'll go with any of Z's. Dude's talented. Favorite Match(es): Grap's Clusterfuck (RESPECT!), Clark * Coy vs The Wiggles had me laughing. Again, I haven't been around for any REAL classics Favorite Stip to Write: Hardly written any. But... Toxxic would hate me for this, but I'll say a one-on-one hardcore. As long as it's not a strap match against Janus or the Tag Match From Hell. My Biggest Accomplishment: Being where I am, when I am. And beating Dace. I Regret That: I didn't join earlier. I Wish: We had more people here. Dream Matches Involving Yourself: PPV vs Kibs with a decent backstory because i enjoy his writing style the most, i think. I'd love to have a crack at that Toxxic vs Aecas vs IL Hardcore match at some point too though. Dream Matches: Janus vs Kibs on PPV with build-up. Dace vs Kibs. I've Become Most Friendly With: Dace and Card. Cos Dace got me here, and Card's from Nottingham. Word. I Hope: I never view this as time I could have spent more constructively doing something else. Personal Name (First name works, last name if you don't care): Mike Brooks Single: Nope. SO nope. Have Most Trouble: Flying without mechanical aids. Favorite Things to Do: Play guitar, write, draw, read, go to rock clubs and dance like a nutter to punk music. Shag (hey, I'm honest) Most Recent Accomplishment: Getting my new job by beating a dozen other people in the interview - even though some of them had experience and I just worked in a pub. Most Recent Failure: Never managing to revitalise my band promotion. OK so the venue we promoted at got sold and it wasn't our fault - still sucks Favorite Bands: Strung Out, Wildhearts, Bad Religion, Therapy?, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Tool/Perfect Circle (add 'em together and they count as one), Lostprophets, and some small local ones you WON'T have heard of. Favorite Book: Probably Lord of the Rings. Word. Favorite Movie: Maybe the Crows. Maybe Fight Club. Maybe even Pirates of the Carribean. Quite possibly the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I like a lot of movies, but don't love one in particular. Favorite Actor: Alan Rickman. Maybe. One Song to Listen to On Repeat: Boy Sets Fire - 'Rookie'. Or possibly the Wildhearts - 'Hate The World Day' One Item You'd Save During A Fire: This damn computer, probably. Or my guitar. Something You Want to Get Into To: Alyson Hannigan's pants. No, but seriously. I want to get into band promoting PROPERLY. Big-style. Biggest Regret/Mistake: I don't think I have one. Sue me. Biggest Turn On: It's the package as a whole that matters. Biggest Turn Off: Smoking. If You Died and Went To Heaven, What Do You Want God to Say: "I'm a cunt and I fucked your friends over. I'll make it better I promise." How About Going to Hell, Devil says: *giving me an ultra-detailed map of all the world's inhabitants with a sign saying "Damn the Bastards" on top* "Point and click, my man."

Well, I'll TRY and do a brief match-by-match analysis and commentary. Sly va Luchador Well, I mark for my name being mentioned so many damn times for starters. I'm not sure it should have been, but still. And to be fair, Sly is undefeated when he actually writes, I believe... and has two wins over Jake and one over Rickmen. Word. As for the match... well, I don't think Riley will EVER pull for anyone but the heel (except possibly Tom Flesher). And he CERTAINLY wouldn't support Rickmen. But hey. The flow seems a little disjointed in parts, but I can't really determine why. The middle bit where Rickmen has Austin on the ropes seems like a reversal of the normal situation with the heel trying to fight his way back into the match, not sure if that's a good thing or not. I LIKED the end though, as it proves that you don't have to have one be-all-and-end-all spot to finish a hardcore match - repeatedly pasting someone with a chair can do it. Austin seems to be the man of unusual finishes - keep going man, you're doing great. All you need now is some sort of promo or backstage interaction to build up your character in relation to the other wrestlers. Spike vs Stryke And Spike shoots on himself in the opening few sentences... then proceeds to have a lot of fun with the fact that the two wrestlers' names sound alike. It makes the narrative a bit repeptitive, but I guess you can't help that. And OK, I'm starting to lose track of who's doing what now... Well, a well set-out match but the thing that really niggled me was not one mention of which commentator was saying what. Yeah, I can guess... but still. But hey, nice return Spike and 'twas a good match even tho Stryke didn't show. Said vs Tryst WHAT THE FUCK!? KING!? And Card has revealed that he is from Nottingham, not Canada as I thought... and... I have NO CLUE what just happened there, except that Card (the real-life Blue meanie) wanted to go out with a bang... Crow vs James "premonition vitamins"? That says it all really. Nice one Crow. Clark vs Maddix "I'm right here, moron!" Good line. Good match. And for once, the empty arena makes it realistic to have audible conversation between wrestlers. I mark for Maddix, but the curse of the Floppy Disk probably hurt him. Yes, the comments are getting shorter. But you see, the further up the card the better (by and large) the writers are, so i need to say less. See? Todd vs Coy That song is AWESOME Tag Match Of Death Phew. And I can rest in the knowledge that I am now someone, having beaten Wildchild. Kibs vs Z Best match writing of the night so far, in my opinion, and i count my lucky stars that Kibs no-showed against me... but I still want a piece of him someday. Oh, and this read like a squash - although maybe that's because it was obvious what the outcome would be. Tom vs Annie "Lord knows we don't have to be Spartan about our language." "We may in fact be Trojan." Best. Historically-orientated exchange. Ever. And a NASTY shot at the Barracuda later on... Duran vs Grappler All goodness. And Duran wins clean. I LIKE it.

I'm just skimming down this before I go to work, but yeah I wrote that tag match. I haven't seen all the other results, but BIG up to Austin for defeating IL. I only skimmed through it but you did a great job man, your work looks to have improved even since your debut not too many weeks back.

I remember Spike. But he doesn't remember me.

Now I know I haven't been around that long - but Toxxic is a character that I have played in the past (by which I mean I have adopted his infuriating air of smugness and cockiness in order to deal with situations). So I say the theory holds.

Awesome. This needs no more comment than that. Go kill each other.

So... Duran watched that tape again to psyche himself up for Grappler? And got pissed off by the thing of Randy whatshisface again? OK... I kind of get it now... I think.
