I was just browsing the archives looking for an old promo of mine and I found Ashes 2 Ashes 2002. This was a match I was really, really proud of at the time, and I think it's held up to time quite well. As some backstory, Thoth had been muddling around as a tweener for a while following the epic Clan-Carnival-Magnificent Seven storyline that finished with War Games at Ground Zero 2002. He had recently turned heel, becoming Orochi, the Lightbringer, to give him a new motivation. With that came a new resilience in the ring and a new take on wrestling - he was more violent, less cerebral than the Thoth we had come to know. Tom had won the ICTV from Perfect Bo at Genesis, when he took over the Magnificent Seven. The storyline between Tom and Thoth went back quite a ways, from Tom's transformation to Durandal in the JL after losing the World Title to Ash Ketchum. Tom had snapped and become a dark character which I had no idea what to do with. In character, after Tom returned to his Superior One character, he began to resent Thoth for making him a dark, gothic character (as a way for explaining the dryness stemming from my inability to write the character well). This was built up with, among other things, Mak Francis going tweener at Dissention 2002 and finally tapping out for the first time but refusing to respect Flesher, shaking Thoth's hand at the end of the match instead. Flesher began going to the Durandal roots, using Durandal's trademark icepick and black mist in a tag match against Thoth before the pay-per-view. Thoth became Orochi and was named as Flesher's opponent for Ashes 2 Ashes, the ICTV Title on the line. Tom Flesher vs. Orochi, Grudge Match, ICTV Title on the line.

Anyone like them some scotch? What's your bottle? I keep one of Johnnie Walker Red around for mixing, but I've been drinking The Dalmore's Cigar Malt lately, sans cigar. It's incredibly smooth and has nice little hints of sweetness to it - highly recommended. Of course, only a troglodyte mixes a decent single-malt, and I prefer it neat.

Yes, but you should send me money to cover the unauthorized use of my name and likeness.

I went to a university. My brother failed out of community college twice. I urge you not to read too much into that, though - he wasn't really "college material." Most of my friends and wrestling buddies agree that the local community colleges are pretty much high school redux - it's just that one of them back home had a great wrestling team and so attracted a lot of athletes.

Apparently.

Please keep your board stats updated as well as the ones on the site. We've got some people who for whatever reason aren't able to keep close track of stat changes and it's very easy for them to get confused and use ridiculously outdated stats from the stats thread. Thank you.

For the record, I think Sharpie's uninformed comment and inability to grasp the twist at the end and the dig on random gothic/evil characters is going to screw you on this one. I'm very sorry to say that.

Seconding "What the fuck is a goozle" and "What the fuck is an exclamation point."

Dicks away, boys. On edit, Janus, put your dick away. WC, you do NOT have to defend your honor every time someone snipes at you.

Bumped. Cookie if you can guess why.

Yeah, consider this one arbitrarily closed too. Not in the mood, people.

I'm arbitrarily closing this thread because I'm not in the fucking mood to deal with it. Please feel free to open threads talking about what a Nazi hardass I'm being.

I'll take a salsa plate, by which I mean the Mexican Cruiserweight Championship.

Muzz, please don't bait Johnny. Things have been quite high-strung lately and really, I don't need this.

In the interest of openness... When I got home from the bar around 10:15, I had in my PM box an extension request from Mak saying that he had a practice tonight and needed as much time as I could give him. Fast forward to a few minutes later, after I've sent irate PMs to him and Spike telling them they had until midnight. MVS said he's on vacation and would be up as late as he needed to. I DID send a main event in last night. Mike, I presume, had gone to bed, but we DO have a match.

You need to quit being so god damn negative, WC. Free time to post or not, it seems like half your posts are taking the moral high road on some damn thing. Agree with me or disagree. Frankly, I don't care, since it's got fuck-all to do with your writing and fed-related participation (which I feel compelled to say are above-average, just in case anyone here was confused about that). I'm just telling you that if I were to read most of your posts on these forums, I'd assume you really didn't enjoy this place much at all. Making a fuss about this sort of shit is petty. I'm sorry, but it is. It's just part of the way the fed runs, and it looks really sad when you complain about hijacking the thread for a promo that deals with your character and his tag-team partner when your only other promo response in the past 30 days was to a year-old promo that was about your character. I recognize that, yes, there's a difference between a hijack and a non-response, but that's just a function of the people who post here. Lighten up, for god's sake.

Of the last five promo posts, WC, you've commented on two. One was this one, which you didn't actually comment on. One was Landon't Vault promo, dealing with you. You have absolutely no room to criticize people for not making relevant comments on promos.

Hey, you know what would be cool? If after making a fuss about your match, you WROTE ONE AND SENT IT TO ME.

I can't shake the feeling that the previous poster can't quite relate to this problem

At my university, I always used to go to the fifth floor of the library, which was rarely used, to avoid smoking anyone out (since I was on campus all day most days). I started using the fourth floor when I heard someone jacking off in the fifth-floor stall.

You're also fat.

There's no buzz about anything. Look on the bright side, though. No one's calling for a double no-show.

But it'll be a six of Brooklyn Porter! SWERVE~!

Well, to each his own. I prefer to mark my territory by fucking other guys' girlfriends and ejaculating on them.
