Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2003 (edited) Live from VENUE WHEN IT'S NOT 4 IN THE MORNING HOO DIDDLY. SWF Lockdown for Wednesday, August 20th! Due time: 8PM EST Send to: Grand Slam! Your commentators remain Bobby Riley and Cyclooooooooooone Comet! Venue: The King-Dome, in Fargo, North Dakota! The Suicide King's personal arena is the venue for the tournament kick-off! King's ego will be in high gear for sure. Check, uh, this here link for some more Kingdome info. The road to Genesis begins here. Check out Storm for King's word on the matter. Get set for a 24-man, double elimination tournament. The winner takes on the SWF World Heavyweight Champion in the Genesis IV main event. We've trimmed some of the problems that plagued 2001's tournament and amped up the opportunities that made it great, so get ready. Tonight is the first round--12 matches. All parameters are the same: Word Limit: 5000 Standard singles rules, with DQs and count-outs in effect. The JLers listed have not been bumped. This is a special opportunity for these guys to make their careers. If you do well in the tourney, we'll obviously take note. And if you make it to the end...well, then hats off to you. Everyone involved is encouraged to keep up angles and plan for Genesis accordingly. Remember, only one of you is going to be in the world title match at the PPV, which means that the rest should certainly keep your programs and character developments going. Now might be a good time to rock a board promo or two and really set things out. In any case, after this show and Smarkdown, people will be eliminated, tourney matches will be emptying, and the regular match schedule will be interspersed with the tourney. This opportunity is great, so go for it. Just have a backup plan! As for the tourney format: Winners fly into the winner's bracket, and losers drop down into the loser's bracket with one last shot to keep hope alive. But we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. For now: the opening round of the SWF Genesis IV Title Tournament. (I'll add descriptions in the morning. Many of these are random pairings, but you guys deserve a little setup.) Michael Craven vs. ??? --Coming off a close gambit at the ICTV title, Michael Craven opens the tournament. Irate at coming so close to the title, he issued a special first-round challenge to whoever thinks he can take on the King of Nightmares. The call has been answered, but we don't know yet who's stepped up... Marker: Edwin MacPhisto "The Sacred One" Andrew Blackwell vs. Xcalibur --Blackwell, a former world champ, has got to be a favorite heading into this tournament. But Xcalibur himself pulled a win over Quiz on Storm. A hot match-up between two master manipulators, for sure... Marker: Edwin MacPhisto Nathaniel Kibagami vs. English Dragon --Nathaniel Kibagami is here, and Nathaniel Kibagami is very angry. English Dragon, the JL's resident bluebood Brit, has got one hell of a test ahead of him... Marker: Edwin MacPhisto Jay Dawg vs. "The Sinner" John Duran --JAY DAWG IS HARDCORE...and back. JOHN DURAN...is new! But he's 2-0 in the SWF. Can he take his winning streak to 3 with a victory over the old-school SWF mainstay, or will Jay Dawg be main eventing Genesis two years in a row (god help us)? Marker: Grand Slam Crow vs. Apostle --One's dark, brooding, and a bit crazy. The other is dark, brooding, and a bit crazy. My money's on the dark brooding crazy guy. Marker: Grand Slam Quiz vs. Mak Francis --Mak's proving to be a dominant ICTV champion, but here's a man who's got the rare match over on The Franchise. Quiz snatched the tag titles at Ground Zero, and this half of an II/DJ rematch should be smokin'. Marker: Grand Slam Danny Williams vs. Viktor Tarankov --The Red Rage, JL champion, is in the house...the house of Danny Williams. Watch those elbows, Vik. I hear they're a doozy. Marker: chirs3 Dante Crane vs. Stryke --Markus Cirillo's running mate comes up against another Aussie. Unfortunately, we're going to have to the loosen the anti-AU glass ceiling a bit and let one of them through... Marker: chirs3 Dace Night vs. Ejiro Fasaki --Hey now, this should just be awesome. Random brackets work out great sometimes. JL history, tag history, and a little bit of blood. It's the High Priest of Horrorcore vs. the US Champion, and it should be darn skippy if you ask me. Marker: chirs3 CIA vs. Spike --CIA's still masked, but Atlas is revealed. Shockingly enough, beneath the white face was Spike, former IGNWF champion and the man behind one of the biggest upsets in IGN/SWF history. A history lesson: he became champ when no one expected him to, defeating then-dominant champion Rane in one of the fed's first classic matches. Spike'd certainly like to hang an SWF belt next to his old IGNWF title...but that was then, and this is now. CIA's gonna do everything in his power to stop this blast from the past. Marker: Suicide King Show vs. Aecas --Show is big and looks like Chevy Chase. Aecas is big and looks like motherfuckin' hell. It's hossariffic, and the ring's bound to shake when these two relative newcomers brawl it out. Marker: Suicide King And your MAIN EVENT, ending round one with a bang... Judge Mental vs. Annie Eclectic --Beezel shed "his" mask on Storm, revealing that he was, in fact, a she--the luminous Annie Eclectic. Under a man's masquerade, Annie was able to rise to the heights of ICTV champion. Can she become the first woman to carry the World Title? The spotlight is on for the Hardcore Queen's "official" return to the ring, but she squares off against Judge Mental, who pounded Sacred into pulp on Storm only to get faked-out at the last second and put down with the Cruel Fate. Can Judge get on the trail to the greatest singles title in the land, or will Ms. B show this old "friend" her true strength?

Guest Space_Cowboy Report post Posted August 16, 2003 (edited) Delicious. And to eliminate my problem of leaving matches to the last minute and no-showing as a consequence, i'll have this match finished and sent in within 24 hours. And (Y) at having 12 matches on a show.

Crippler Crossface 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2003 I second Judge's King-dome idea. We've never had a show there, and King built the damn thing with his own two hands! If that's not reason enough to have the show there, then I don't know what is. Oh, and I know who ??? is. I've known for quite a while, actually. But who exactly is it? You'll just have to wait and see... *insert obligatory Ash smiley here* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Suicide King Report post Posted August 17, 2003 Again, I would like to encourage everyone to wite, even if it is just a paragraph. With this many people, no-shows are bound to happen and you may advance in the tournament just by writing a sentence. But if you absolutely can't write, let your opponent know as soon as possible, please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ace309 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2003 It's better that way, Rando. Nothing's less satisfying than reading a shitty no-show match. Besides, I find that after I write a short, quick win, I'm always out of practice for my next match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
