GROUND ZERO 2003!!!

AN SWF PAY-PER-VIEW EXTRAVAGANZA!

Sunday August 10th, matches due at 10 pm!

Live from the Omaha Civic Arena in Omaha, Nebraska!

Theme song "Faint" by Linkin Park!

Arena décor: stylized jagged metal and concrete fragments. pyro is a sickly neon green, as is the lighting.

 

 

 

 

FEATURING…

 

"The Sinner" John Duran vs. Xcalibur vs. Dante Crane

 

The latest JL bumpee versus the latest person to skip the JL entirely versus some ring escort!

 

One man has climbed the mountain and is ready for the next leg of his journey to greatness. The other knows that work is for chumps, and used his connections to get past the doorman. The last one knows that it's not what you know, it's who you know. Let's see how quickly it takes for this match to go from ugly to only-fucked-by-the-blind hideous!

Description: All three men are in the ring. Standard rules, DQs and countouts in effect. First pinfall wins.

"Judge Mental" William Hearford vs. Nathaniel Kibagami vs. "The King of Nightmares" Michael Craven vs. "The Sacred One" Andrew Blackwell

 

For the chance to face the ICTV champion, and for the chance to cause a whole lot of pain!!

 

These four men have all turned it up a notch of late. Justice is hungering for a singles belt of his own. Kibs has regressed to a level of brutality unseen in a long while. Blackwell is eager to show that he is dominant, as any former world champ should be. And Craven wants to shoot up the card, and just maybe get a little revenge for a certain Demonstar Driver...

Description: Elimination. All four men start in the ring and can be eliminated by pinfall, countout, dq, or submission.

"Deathwish" Danny Williams vs. TNT

 

Issues unresolved leading to a future uncertain!

 

Teacher and student, former allies, now locked in a battle for respect. Each man claims they are next in line for the prize, but first they must take care of each other! The winner of this match will prove himself to be everything he said he was, but in addition to that the winner will face the victor of Tom Flesher vs. Frost for a chance at a World Title match!

Description: Standard, dqs and countouts apply.

Ejiro Fasaki vs. Wildchild

 

Who deserves credit for Wildchild's accomplishments? The cage knows...

 

These two perennial rivals hve both risen to excellence of late, with Ejiro becoming US champion and Wildchild rising atop the Hardcore division! But with Ejiro's rising megalomania the Bahama Bomber has taken exception with his claims. Now they will fight, with pride on the line! And who knows what additional, more private wagers they may have placed on the outcome of this match?

Description: Standard cage match. First to escape and touch both feet to the floor wins. One may climb over or use the door.

The Unholy Trinity (Dace Night and Va'aiga) vs. International Incident (CIA and "The Franchise" Mak Francis) vs. Double Jeopardy (Quiz and Charlie "The Show" Matthews)

 

Six men... four with an issue to settle, and two very wild cards, all fighting for the tag titles!

 

The Trinity unseated the seemingly unstoppable Justice and Rule. II charged through a competition packed tag division to emerge as teh number one contenders! These two teams were on a collision course, but King has thrown them all a swerve by throwing in the rookie team of Double Jeopardy!

Description: Three men are in the ring simulltaneously, one member of each team only. They may tag in and out freely, but no more than three men may be in the ring, barring the usual tag hijinks. First pinfall or submission wins it. If you are judged guilty of a DQ by the referee, your team is eliminated from the match and the remaining two teams will compete without you.

Sean Atlas vs. Beezel

 

Two mysteries, one solution. They have everything to lose.

 

There are issues here, to be sure. Each person has hid their identities their entire tenure in the SWF, with the unspoken assertion that their identities' revelation would be greeted with... unhappiness by their cohorts in the lockerroom. Well, one contender must finally face the music at Ground Zero, and it's clear that each man is willing to do whatever it takes to ensure that their faces never, ever see the light of day!

Description: No DQ, no countout. Pinfalls and submissions must occur in the ring. The competitor who fails to win must unmask, or their contract is voided.

Janus vs. Crowe

 

It's the end of the road for one man, and it's one hell of a sudden stop. Whose career comes to an end tonight? The Cell hungers for blood...

 

The Hell Machine... the Antichrist Superstar. Two men with long standing issues. Two men go into the Cell, and the man with less to give will not only be brutalized beyond recognition, but will forever hang up his boots. Normally the most sadistic competitor wins, but can one of these beasts safely be called more vicious than the other? Can they safely be called anything?

Description: Hell in a Cell. Chumps. The loser's career is over.

"The Superior One" Tom Flesher vs. Frost

 

Beyond the looking glass... oh fuck, let's just go right through the damned thing!

 

To say that these two men have issues is a bit like saying the Trojan War was about two guys fighting over a chick. They have fought before, and will undoubtedly fight again, but tonight the blood will be taken to a new level as each man attempts permanent harm to the other! Each has tried their best to get in the other's head, so the time has come to see which has succeeded. The winner will move on to face the winner of Williams vs. TNT, and the winner of that match will face the world champion for the title!

Description: The only way to win is to drive your opponent through a pane of glass. They have thoughtfully been provided and are interspersed around the ring area, and any other locations the battle is likely to rage. Each pane of glass has been outfitted with foldout legs, so they can be set up nearly anywhere. If you accidentally drive yourself through you are not eliminated, and if you break a pane over your opponent they are not eliminated.

AND THE MAIN EVENT…

 

THE BOSTON STRANGLER VS. THOTH

 

IN A STREETFIGHT FOR THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!

 

Thoth unseated a dominant champion, only to be blindsided by the surging Strangler! Since then Thoth has bided his time, waiting, watching, learning... and hungering. The Boston Strangler has yet to face a challenge to his reign, and it remains to be seen if he has what it takes to be a champion you can build a franchise on. Well, tonight we find out as these two former stablemates clash in a epic confrontation that is sure to disgust the squeamish. Blood will tell, they say, and blood calls to blood...

Description: No DQ, no countouts. Pinfalls and submission count only in the ring.

Hurrah.

[Guest Space_Cowboy]

Card looks as good as i expected, top to bottom i expect very good things. A shame i'm not booked, but that's fine, it gives me a chance to do some promos i've been meaning to do for a while.

[Guest Suicide King]

I would have booked you Stryke, but I assumed since you no-showed again that you and Longdogger Pete had to go smoke something.

Heh. Cool; now I get to job in a ... er, um, I mean, advance my storyline some more. Yeah, that's it...

 

I was sweating here over the fact that I wasn't able to get a promo in for Smarkdown, but now that I think about it, the promise of "private wagers" probably works out better than anything I would have managed to write, anyway.

 

Ejiro, I should have reliable computer access sometime tomorrow afternoon (my time); I'll get with you then. Johnny, same goes for you; I read your message, but I haven't had an opportunity to respond; I'm essentially incomunicado right now, at least until tomorrow.

Time to bow down to the master, Janus.

[Guest Mr. Slim Citrus]

Waitaminute...

 

 

:: re-reads card ::

 

Huh! Two cage matches on one show, the latter of which is a HIAC career match... Ejiro, if I didn't know better, I'd swear that CC has been trying to shit all over our feud from jumpstreet; I mean, similar matches, and the stip they have on the line in their match is going to make our "mystery stip" look kinda flimsy by comparison.

 

:: shrugs :: Oh well... I guess we'll just have to write a better match, then...

3 Way Tag Match?

 

There goes my Psychology.

 

Time to break out the spot fests. I hope Grand Slam doesn't like WWE Tag matches, because he won't get one.

[Guest WrestlingDeacon]

C'mon, the first ever SWF Window Pain match! Everbody get excited! Although, I don't much care for the "glass table" variation that cropped up in the JL after I left. Doesn't much hurt what I was planning, I'll have regular panes of glass laying around too. I bet that was a Z idea, sounds like it. Douchetard Z.

You can reach down far enough to do that?

 

[Guest Dace59]

I remember being in a 4 way Window Pain match soon after I started in the JL.

 

It kicked so much ass.

[Guest Crowe]

...

 

Owned.

[Guest Goodear]

Oh pfft, don't worry WC. While they're doing the brainless hardcore style of "let me hit you with something that explodes" we'll be doing the more exciting old school WWF Owen Hart-Bret Hart cage match goodness. Suck it down garbage wrestlers

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

Edited in what I *think* is the right name for the Quiz/Show team. Though honestly, just being called Quiz Show would be pretty cool too. And hey, Duran got bumped! Spiff. I wasn't sure if JLCC was going to send anyone up after just giving us Matthews, but welcome to the big show. Also should be exciting to see Xcaliber debut his SWF character in the same match.

 

Very pleased with the matches I'm marking. I rarely get to see enough of Kibagami and TNT's matches in particular, and I'm pretty jazzed about the elimination four-way, as it's one of my most-enjoyed stips.

 

My number one anticipated match, though, has got to be the WC/Ejiro cage match. Both guys have performed up to the standard of the storyline they've created lately, getting the singles wins and titles needed to really ratchet up this story of rivalry. It's one of few match-ups where I actually think the escape cage rules will work really well for the competitors involved, too. Also huge on my list is Window Pain. The build-up has been great, especially on Smarkdown--if seeing Tom Flesher go through a thick slab of glass isn't way way way up on your list of "Things I Want At the PPV," you ain't been reading the shows.

 

There might not be anything as individually mammoth as Wargames on here, but I think it's an extremely card that tops last year's as far as personal rivalries and pure, outright hatred go. Good luck to everybody.

[Guest Beezel]

And so it begins Atlas. As it was written, "Ask not for whom the bell tolls..."

[Guest The Superstar]

After further reading, I would just like to add that this card ROCKS IT. Oh, and...

 

CONGRATULATIONS JOHN DURAN~~~~~~!

 

By the way, I'd prefer if you just called me "Show" instead of "Charlie 'The Show' Matthews" because it flows better and it makes more sense when you say "Quiz and Show"~

[Guest TheBostonStrangler]

So.....looks like a pretty kickass card. Plus, we have 25 men on the card, King and Stevens are starting to take an active role in the fed, based on their promo on Smarkdown, Stryke is still active.....this fed is right big, yo.

[Astro101 0]

Ah...my first match. Let's see what I'm made of.

[Guest TheBostonStrangler]

Guts. And black stuff.

[Guest Edwin MacPhisto]

I was gonna say "delicious, delicious, butter" myself.

 

Oh, and Charlie "The Show" Matthews (ahahaha) gets a big (Y) for his avatar.

You know, ghey shit like that makes me hate Matthews. I used to like the kid, but he grates on my nerves a little more each day, like a sesame seed under your gumline. Since Dangerous isn't man enough, I want Double Jeopardy in a HIAC scaffold handicap match the Storm after Ground Zero! Accept the challenge!

Dammit Frost, if you keep talking like a bitch I am going to smack you like one.
