Toxxic

Yes it is. i have it and have just this moment started reading it. I second 'Otherland', btw, although I never got around to reading the last book. It's a great series from what I've seen though.

Music: Therapy? The Wildhearts Bad Religion Strung Out Fulc Boy Sets Fire Books: Anything by Terry Pratchett 'A Song of Ice and Fire' (a series) by George RR Martin 'The Dresden Files' (a series) by Jim Butcher 'Game, Set and Match' (another series) by Len Deighton Films: Night Watch (Nochnoi Dozor) Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit The Black Angel (watch this, then watch Kill Bill. Then laugh at Tarantino)

This promo kicks ass. And i love the crack about 'parts unknown'.

If absolutely necessary I can mark for Lockdown. The family-friendly time means that it shouldn't be TOO late for me, and I'm working lates next week so I don't have to be at work until noon.

Fuck it, TKO and J3 have just killed him twice. Get him back as a wrestler, see if he can get revenge.

I demand to be the Minister for Cockney Rhyming Slang.

I used to write without psychology and got a verbal shitkicking from Dace, among others. Maybe I should try losing it sometime... I will have to read the show in more detail but it looks like as strong showing in general, I kinda feel bad for Spike but then again at least he's been in the main event now and can go back there, and ELM does really rather rule. Whee! Tag Team Champions! I aplogise to CI about the finish, but as I put to Raynor, if TKO can't win like Rudos then they really don't deserve to win at all. And for ELM's edification, they became Japan's most hated wrestlers simply by beating everyone else for about three years by cheating and showing complete and utter disrespect to everyone. Bring on the Cold Front Classic!

Happy Birthday to Thugg, Janus and Rando!

I forgot to mention the fact that I wondered about bringing in a completely green rookie and jobbing to everyone for ages, then slowly building him up into a threat. I also had an idea for 'The Laughing Man' Marcus Hall, a sinister, voodoo-influenced character. Lord only knows if I'd have been able to pull that one off.

7840. Shortest PPV match I've ever written, I think. I like this tag team malarky!

Spot Match Writer? Are you denying my technical knowledge and flawless grasp of psychology? ...fair enough

Landon, I've been scrambling my match in the evenings while spending the entire weekend sorting out my shit at my mum's before she moves. So my match probably makes as little sense as yours. This is gonna be good! (sorry Raynor)

That's fine. Just don't do it again.

Not to nitpick, but I beat Cortez in our match. Yeah, but he made you tap in the six-man. Hence 'evening the score'.

Fuck! I don't go on the net for one day and I mess Dreaween. Happy birthday to the fed's weirdest contributor! And Raynor. Who let's face it, probably comes a close second.

I'll own up to the Cortez segment at the very end, and I apologise to Todd for not giving him a heads-up on it. It just seemed to fit as we were having King in a Darth Vader costume, and I remembered that same exchange from Mask's 'Murder and Pimping in Romania' promo. So yeah... sorry...

Oh, we're in JAPAN!? Just for CI's information - the hometown advantage will NOT count here. TKO are completely and utterly LOATHED in Japan, which is why they left because it became too dangerous for them to be at shows. We are like uber-heels here, and you are the faces. Unless you don't want to be, of course.

Ashes To Ashes by Bowie. What? I don't JUST know punk music.

Brilliant. You know the one thing I really like about this promo? The description of Hawke's gallon before a title defence, his reasoning for it, and Johnson and Landon's opinion of it. That sort of detail makes it for me.

I think Robzilla did that gimmick pretty close, Blank. But he did it badly. And Zyon: when trying to describe the character of heel Toxxic once, I described him as Vegeta with the entire fed as Goku (and of course, he does have spiky black hair!). As in, he couldn't let ANYONE be better than him. I did have one character that I thought about using. He was a giant, skull-masked monster called 'Panic' who had the legendary Vitality 10 and would no-sell a lot. I figured that'd be easier than writing the highly breakable Toxxic. I worked out a moveset and everything but in the end I just couldn't move too far away from the aerial moves. So when I came back, I did so as my high-flying heavyweight, TORU

Fuck that. I already have their costumes planned. So I guess they'll be getting changed before the main event, because there's no way I'm rewriting it now.

This is a nice promo, but would have been better if J3 hadn't spoken a couple of paragraphs before his CW title match with Pretzler. What's that? We hired the WWE writers to take care of continuity? NO problem then!

The other two are good, but Muzz owns all.

Rage - for the record, Ced actually has a DDR gimmick and even won the tag titles at one point as one half of the Bermani Cross Wizards, a DDR-themed tag team also featuring the former World Champion, Thoth. Raynor: Lucha rules? LUCHA rules? And 6k in four days when my tag partner's out of commission? Damn your sugar sir, DAMN it...

I think everyone should note that our favourite non-masked American Luchador is 17. PAARRRRRR-TAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!
