Bruce Blank

(he should debut against our very own Gambling Man - the Suicide King ) How about a 3 stages of Gamedom challenge? 1st a game of Texas Hold-Em then the time honored and revered game of Roshambo and if the game is tied after that - well then break out the masks and the time fractured wickets and let it rip.

I know it means champion (Especially since the REAL champions have it too) - that's why I questioned it for TKO "Smarkdown - where posession is 11/10th of the law" *thumbs up* I think I'll leave my Hardcore title in a safe... better make it a wall safe or someone will drag the entire safe away of course they could also steal the wall *shifty eyes*

Here is one - with my next match in mind the Air Raid Crash? - that's all the description there, well if you discount comments on it being rarer than a box of dougnut holes Yes it's rare so rare that I'll never use it cause well WHAT IS IT? I can't even fake it cause I have no clue if it's off the top rope or a driver or a slam type of more or what Not that I was planning on using it in THIS match - but I sat there and scratched my head figured someone may clue me in

it was Austria-Hungary which btw is not really Scandinavian no more than West Virginia is Canadian thus ends my geography lesson for ya'll

why exactly does Koji and Toru have that "c" by their names? sorry I mean KOJI and TORU, what a mistaka to maka

Mars Bar!! that's the kind of detail issue you run into when trying to write a character who's nationality differes from yours at least I've lived in Alabama for a year, I'm married to an American and visit it quite often so that helps channel my inner redneck even if I live in Denmark oh and having watched a lot of BBC shows I've never heard the word "bint" used - unless it was on EastEnders which I try to ignore when my wife watches it. I doubt a guy supposedly from Spain would pick it up, unless he used to be one of those beach lotharios preying on the pale British chicks who come to get some sun.

You mean apart from the fact that any non-cruiserweight could overpower him, and what he knew about mat wrestling could be written on the back of a postage stamp? Even towards the end of his career Toxx was still only average on the mat, and a proper wrestler could tie him in knots. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it's all about how you write him thought - even if stats and stuff would indicate a weakness I mean if I wanted to I could write Bruce as a power monster with a ton of cheating that never really allowed himself to get in trouble from his "defined" weaknesses but what fun is that? My philosophy is to try and make people look good even in defeat (I write myself a win, my ego isn't hurt by me writing the other guy as outsmarting me, out wrestling me or just kicking my ass through a large part of the match) That's just my personal style, I try to give something to the guy or guys that's generous enough to give me the win - so they don't sit there afterewards and go "Well I was just squashed"

Here is what it boils down to sending your stats to another one of those creative types (Chirs3 or Chuck Woolery springs to mind as good chances) just a crazy thought - since Tom hasn't posted since right before Genesis VI

Well since all I ever see it referred to is as "the STO" I don't have a clue I've read show recaps where its' been used but never seen a show where anyone has executed it I didn't even have a clue what STO stood for I mean "Spinning Tornado orifice"? "Stupid Tango Origami"?? and then it's just a really pretencious name for a rather basic move - who knew? (Other than Mike and you and... well loads of people)

Okay the phrase "TORU tugs Bruce" just left a really HORRIBLE image in my head and guys, guys no need to fight once I whip TORU's ass we'll get the title shot as well and we'll be Even Steven

OH ree-e-e-e-e-e-eally? *evil grin*

See now it makes sense - now I'll actually be able to use that move in a match you guys are life savers well maybe not "life" - but you saved me having to search for the description on the net and that's worth something too. (and was into Judo from I was 7 til I was 12 - so that actually made sense, even if it's been quite a while)

And Smarkdown sounds good to me - don't know if the booking guys have any long term plans or anything but Smarkdown works for me *plans devious Danny Williams surprise apperance*

And once again you make the fatal mistake of reading something serious into my comments you need to learn to NOT do that I'm mostly yanking Mike's chain here (Hey there is an idea - a chain match LOL)

Here is a thought Bruce Vs TORU - I win the tag-team match at A2A is a 3 way dealie TORU wins there is an open contract to ANY TKO member to challenge for the Hardcore title hmmm?? (And I hope you realize that my comments are not meant to be taken serious, just channeling the Trailerpark superstar and having a laugh)

*Raises hand* I have to agree - I don't even have a CLUE what an STO is - how its executed or what I mean is it a move a 220 pound guy can do on a near 300 pound guy? don't assume people know your moveset (Hell I explained the Side Russian leg sweep - well tried to)

Since we won technically YOU guys are the ones who need a rematch we already beat you and are looking ahead to bigger names (and to repay someone for that evil, vicious, nasty, tendon snapping, career ending Chop block of DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!) but if YOU would like to request a rematch well maybe we'll have pitty with you and grant it

You mean other than being a little twerp that makes the perfect bouncing ball for big guys??

3 in 90somthing days?

You got the titles - so you're in the drivers seat really besides I think that other than grand theft TKO's claim to a title shot is slightly less than the Nightmare Express - we beat them like a drum after all but I can see why you'd want a nice, easy and cushy first PPV title defence

2 options The break up happens during the match or they put over TKO (cause lets face it the poor guys need all the help to rebuild after we beat them ) before breaking up I wouldn't worry too much if I was you

Can't we all get along and hate on a common enemy? them dang Canadians

now, now just cause you lose to me doesn't mean we'll have to rename you "Rob Van Job" Spikey poo

Rob Van Maven?

(As this is supposed to take place during the Cortez / JJJ match Bruce makes no references to his Lockdown booking as it wasn't technically known at the time) The following segment is taped backstage during Storm – in fact if you paid really close attention to the background noise you could hear the entrance music from the main event. Ben Hardy is backstage where he’s caught up with Bruce Blank is in his dressing room. Bruce hasn’t had a chance to change yet so he’s still wearing the Crimson Skull outfit he wore during his match. There are still several small slivers of mirror lodged in his jaw from where he was whipped into the Men’s room mirror. The gash in his forehead from the shot with the International title is still bleeding a bit although it has slowed down compared to earlier. Someone has wrapped what looks like a towel around his left forearm to stop the bleeding from the lacerations he received as he was thrown through the lobby window and his hair and clothes are still sticky from the soda that was spilled when he was thrown over the side and through a concession stand table. He’s a picture that’s more out of a horror movie than a wrestling show, but he’s smiling (revealing that he had a tooth knocked out at some point too) and he’s holding the Hardcore title in one hand. “If you think I look like shit then you should see the other guys” Bruce comments as Ben Hardy just stares at the Hardcore champion. Bruce ignores Ben and instead turns his attention to the camera. “You see this?” Bruce holds up the Hardcore title, the bloody handprint on the center plate really underlines the philosophy of the title. “This is my holy grail, my grand prize, my world cup, my Super Bowl trophy. This says that I am the baddest mother f**ker in the world! This says that I’m not afraid to bleed! This says that I like to hurt people!!” Bruce tries to contains a maniacal chuckle as he looks at the Hardcore title. “You can keep your other titles – all that says is that El Luchadore Moronico or Jay Hawkeye can wrestle all purdy. Well big whoop! But this, THIS!!” Bruce holds up the Hardcore title once more. “this means that I’m the most dangerous, hardcore, extreme, psychopathic ULTRA VIOLENT!! Person you’ll ever have the displeasure of knowing!!” Bruce wipes some of the blood off his face and flicks it at the camera lens before he continues. “I’m Freddy, Jason and Leatherface all rolled into one – just consider me the star of the “Texas Nightmare on Friday the 13th” cause that’s what you’ll face when I put the title on the line! I ain’t ducking anyone – I’m a fighting champion, I’ll fight anyone, anywhere!!” “But this title cannot be defended on Lockdown with it’s family friendly rules. Nor does Smarkdown recognize the validity of your title” Ben points out “Benny, Benny, Benny” Bruce says while shaking his head “This title means that there are no rules! I don’t do stuff by the book, I tore the book up and wiped my ass on it! It’s the wimps that run Lockdown and Smarkdown that are afraid the Bruce Blank would steal the show week in and week out if they let me cut loose.” “What about the Nightmare Express Bruce”? “What about?” Bruce replies. “It’s 110% fine and well, we may not wrestle as a team show after show after show – but do you think it’s a disadvantage for the team to have the Hardcore champion on it? Is it a disadvantage to have the man who’s brought the Hardcore matches to a whole new ultra violent level on the team? Do you think Marcus Ward sits in the locker room and goes “God Damn Bruce just beat the shit out of 3 guys all over this damn building – I don’t want him as my partner?” Ben just shakes his head as Bruce pokes him in the chest with each question. “So we lost to the team that are now champions – it happens, we all lose. It’s now we bounce back from a loss that’s significant and this week I bounced back like a freaking super ball!! Maddix, Hawke if you think we’ve forgotten about you then you’re WRONG!” “Speaking of bouncing – Crimson Skull bounced the title off your head tonight” Ben says taking pleasure in pointing it out “So he didn’t appreciate losing, I don’t like it either. But the thing you do is you pick yourself up and you turn the violence up to 11! On Smarkdown I lost to Jimmy the Doom, it happens from time to time. I didn’t run away, I didn’t hide and sulk – I got back up and I beat the snot out of Jimmy tonight!! Now Skull if you want the opportunity to beat the snot out of me, well come on out – I ain’t hard to find, big guys like me tend to stick out!” Bruce says as he flexes his huge arms “Storm, Lockdown, Smarkdown, Pay Per View – whatever it may be! You step up against the Hardcore champion 1 on 1 and I’ll drag you through a nightmare you’ll never forget!! That goes for anyone out there as well, I ain’t hiding – I’ve been here for 9 shows straight, I’ve been in that ring for each and every single show! No one else here can claim to have been in the ring busting skulls for the last 9 consecutive shows and I’m just getting started!” Ben is about to say something when Bruce pushes him out of the way and gets up close to the camera to say one last thing in his calm “indoor voice” “You think you’ve seen the best of Bruce Blank? You ain’t seen nothing yet. You think you’ve seen me at my most violent? YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHING YET!!” Bruce pushes the camera guy to the side and then walks off in search of a medic to remove the glass shards and mirror slivers from his face and arm.
