(7:00pm PST, 10:00pm EST; check local listings) Guest Commentator: MAK FRANCIS~! Someone describe him please. MOBILE, ALABAMA! The whitest, the trashiest, the downright dirtiest little patch of the South we could find! It's no wonder, then, that Hometown Hero and Ultraviolent Champion, gets the Main Event billing in a title defense against Amy Stephens! PLUS! Ghost Machine 2.0 cashes in his shot against Akira Kaibatsu, the Cruiserweight Champion who has stumped all-comers so far! Has he got what it takes to put the poltergeist-prototype away? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- THE MAIN EVENT - SWF ULTRAVIOLENT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH House Rules - Crimson Tide Match Bruce Blank © vs. Amy Stephens ---> Drunk and Disorderly, certainly an odd pairing, made quite a showing in the Lethal Lottery. But once the LL was over, Bruce Blank abandoned his partner and hasn't looked back. Amy takes offense to this. She takes offense to a lot of things. In any event, Bruce has welcomed all comers for his Beat the Champ challenge, and Amy is only too happy to accept. It's Drunk vs. Disorderly, for the UV Title, and it's House Rules! Rules: The match begins on the deck of the USS Alabama. Once the match begins, it will leave port and head out to sea. The object of the match is to first bloody your opponent, then toss them over the side into the water. The entire ship is open for brawling, though I have no clue what these ships might contain. If you can't find a better description, just make stuff up, you won't be penalized. Word Limit: 6000 Send to: janusd -=-=-=-=- SWF CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH "The Divine Wind" © Akira Kaibatsu vs. Ghost Machine 2.0 ---> Akira beats Zyon. Akira beats Spike. Ghost beats Spike. Zyon beats Ghost. I'm getting confused. Alls I know is the Cruiserweight Title has become a hot item in recent weeks, with more than a few big names vying for a shot. Tonight, GM2.0 gets a crack at the champ - can you imagine the ramifications if a person... or... thing... like Ghost Machine were to pull out the win? Wildchild would spin in his grave! If he was dead, I mean. He's not. Rules: Standard, with Cruiser addenda. Outside count to 20, no tossing over top ropes, etc. Word Limit: 5500 Send to: Evolution -=-=-=-=- Jay Hawke vs. Landon "La Cucaracha" Maddix ---> Landon wants ring time? Landon gets ring time! Jay Hawke couldn't quite seal the deal on Lockdown, and I'm betting he's none too pleased about it! La Cucaracha gets a crack at the former #1 Contender - let's see if he can make good on it! Rules: Standard singles match. Word Limit: 5500 Send to: realitycheck -=-=-=-=- WACKY CONTENDERSHIP MATCH Arch Griffon vs. JJ Johnson © vs. Michael Cross ---> This is what happens when you book at 3 AM. In chat. After drinking too much soda. Besides, we've got lots of champs, and no one to challenge them! It's time we sorted out who's who, what's what, and... other stuff. Arch Griffon, former International Champion of some note. JJ Johnson, current tag champion and all around jolly fellow. Michael Cross, fresh-ex-champ. All worthy contenders, and that's good, because this match for a whole mess of contenderships. Rules: First fall wins. Depending on who pins whom, different contenderships will be awarded. JJ - Pin either Arch or Cross to win an INT title shot. Arch - Pin Cross, get an INT shot. Pin JJ, get a tag shot w/ partner of your choice. Cross - Pin Arch, get an INT shot. Pin JJ, get a tag shot w/ partner of your choice.

King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 Edited May 14th, small moveset and stat changes, bitches... Smarks Board Name: Above Average Wrestlers Name: "The Franchise" Mak Francis Height: 6'2" Weight: 240 Hometown: Philadelphia, PA Age: 22 Face/Heel: Cocky Face with an attitude Tag team: N/A Stable: N/A Ring Escort: N/A Weapon(s): steel chair Quotes and Catchphrases: None just yet... but he's a catchphrase machine. Looks: A black male, with brown eyes... think Shelton Benjamin, without a shaved cut. The Franchise had been neglecting his 'clean shaven' and 'close cut' image, but now he's rockin' longer hair that can actual be grabbed and a clean goatee with a thin beard connecting to his sideburns. Llyod Banks meets Will Smith is a good enough example. Ice blue Oakley shades are still a must. In ring, he wears black tights with blue and white barbed-wire image on the sides and black boots. He has black athletic tape on his left wrist up to his forearm and white tape on his right wrist. A black knee brace, much like Steve Austin’s over his left knee. He has taken to wearing a black trench coat to the ring… those that are in the know might remember the last time he wore one... which was in the JL. In the back, he’ll in a white tee shirt and faded jeans with retro sneakers. A sneaker-head is he. Ring Entrance: The house lights shut off as the wispy sounds of a digital xylophone echo throughout the arena. You can feel the pulsation of the light dings, as a hard beat done by violins, suddenly strikes up slightly overshadowing the original background rhythm. “So do you wanna’ be a Franchise… And live large… A big house… five cars…” The SmarkTron flares up with a blue and white photonegative image of Mak Francis, which is followed by ‘The Franchise’ in large green lettering, flashing on the screen in time with the beat. “The rent charge… Comin’ up in the world, don’t trust nobody… Gotta’ look over your shoulder constantly!” As the opening lyrics from Rock Superstar by Cypress Hill, slightly altered of course, blare over the PA system, it takes a little while but eventually the self proclaimed franchise makes his way through the curtain. The lights come back up and Francis comes out onto the stage, tilting his shades down on the bridge of his nose, before looking left and then right… “I remember the days, when I was a young kid grownin’ up… Lookin’ in the mirror dreamin’ about blowin’ up!” That cues multiple short bursts of green pyrotechnics erupting from either side of him. He readjusts his shades with a smirk, before slowly strolling down to ringside and after walking up the ring steps, he cockily wipes his feet on the apron, giving a salute to the crowd, before entering through the middle ropes. Francis climbs the nearest turnbuckle and poses with both fists raised in the air. Entrance Notes: This is a guide. Change this as you like. I know I will be using different wording. Also, if he comes out second, Mak will usually stare down his opponent before hitting the turnbuckle. If first, Francis props himself in the corner and awaits his opponent with a smirk. Stats: ¯¯¯¯¯ Strength: 4 – Francis definitely has that pop in his hips, being a suplex expert. His power is more about leverage than anything else. He German suplexed 350+ pounds of Thugg multiple times, though it wasn't pretty. At all. Doubt he could do it now, but you never know... Speed: 4 – Mak's ring speed is coming back. He's able to bust out a slingshot/springboard move or two from his past and he flows about the ring with grace again. Give him a little while to set up and he'll pull off something "Spectacular". Vitality: 6 – Resilient is the word; think Vince McMahon shilling Shawn Michaels. He’ll go down to a finisher, but on PPV has been known to rise to the occasion and show un-be-fuckin-lievable fighting spirit. See, Danny/Mak. He's got a complex about tapping out, but he will do it, if necessary. Though, he has passed out in holds, as opposed to tapping. Charisma: 6 – He’s very solid on the stick and his cocky mannerism can annoy opponents like no other. But he can't draw in the crowd like he used too (unless it's against a truly hated heel) nor does he care if he does, as much. Style: Technical, dirty, counter puncher. As of now he’s a Heavyweight with some Junior Heavyweight tendencies. He’s got some solid strikes and his high impact maneuvers help round out somewhat hard to categorize style. I call it “Attack with Impact” because each move, while having solid execution, uses leverage and speed to increase the impact his somewhat "smallish frame" can dish out. He was never the greatest physical specimen known to man and since he's got to work himself back in ring shape; Mak isn’t as quick or strong as he once was, but he still has great anticipation and ring savvy. He’ll continue to use more of his amateur roots to make up for injuries and ring rust, as finding his way out of a tricky situation with a counter will always be a big part of his style. As opposed to a Landon Maddix or formerly Ejiro Fasaki, Mak no longer does CHEAT 2 WIN! His dirty tactics are just that, DIRTY and used to inflict damage on his opponents, most times. Sometimes just pain. Game Plan: His fighting style is solidly based in the mat being an amateur wrestler, even more so after his injury, but he’s always out to show up his opponent at least once or twice a match, so a few flashy counters and combos are a staple of his repertoire. He'll usearm work (and on occassion amateur mat wrestling techniques) early to control an opponent, but his main goal is to work the neck and upper back with an array of suplexes and combination attacks, that leads to the Franchise Tag. If there is a glaring weakness, ex., an injured leg or arm, then he’ll work the part over with extreme predjudice, and go for a brutal tap out from one of his flash submissions. He’ll pull out the Brotherly Love combo to pop the crowd, but it’s nowhere near as common, since he does it only when he’s feeling the electricity of the audience. Signature moves: -Gut-wrench suplex - His most common set up for the Frog Splash, but now this suplex has been landing high and tight recently, dropping opponents on their neck. Not just a set-up suplex anymore. -Release German suplex, a.k.a ‘Filthy German™’ - 'Super Filthy German™' optional. -Forearm strikes - He will throw punches sometimes, but forearms and European uppercuts on occasion, rule. No more "WHOOO"ing for Mak, at least involving knife-edges. -Railgun suplex - Mak will catch a running opponent with an Overhead belly-to-belly suplex and the Overhead can be done without momentum, much like a Kurt Angle capture suplex. -Yakuza Kick -Knee related offense - Running knee, HBK's recent knee uppercut or a straight knee to the chin off a whip. Stiff stuff, but he's not John Duran yet. -“The Truth Hurts” - Running bulldog into a Strutting Fist drop - This move is all about humiliation. Pelvic thrusts of truthittude optional. In most serious situations no showmanship is necessary. -“That’s Franchisable” - Side shoulder jawbreaker into a 270 degree Hot shot - Quicker than it is strong. -Rolling German Suplexes -“Million Dollar-plex” - Cobra clutch suplex. Dumps a body on their head, nuff said? Common moves: -Amateur arm drag w/ optional arm-bar attempt -Rear Gut-wrench w/ optional pins or forearm cross-faces -Roll-ups: Any and all: Amateur, Oklahoma, La Majistral, Shooting a half or the dreaded Peterson... bitches. -Leaping Enzuigiri -DDT - JBL-esque in its quick and dirty execution. -Dirty tactics - Thumb to the eyes, low blow, knee brace assisted face rake, etc., but won't use the ropes to get a pin. -Northern lights suplex w/pin -Textbook dropkick - not so textbook at the moment... but give it time. He used to throw a mean dropkick. -Kidney punch into a Side Russian leg sweep -Shelton Benjamin's Three quarters backbreaker -Corner boot scrapes -Senton Atomico - back in full effect, Eddie G. style. -Tilt-a whirl backerbreaker - shoulderbreaker optional Rare moves: Springboard Leaping Forearm - AJ Styles 'Superman' style. This is "Spectacular" for sure. Float over DDT - A little extra flare added on to show up his opponents. Has the added advantage of surprise. Flying Hart Attack Clothesline - A leaping clothesline from the top rope. Cross arm-breaker - serious submission not to be taken lightly. Taught to him by Mercury and Tom Flesher, after his run against Danny Williams it has become a very respected move. Finishers: Striking: Franchise Tag - (Jumping fisherman's buster) - The Franchise Tag is a variation of a brainbuster. It starts out like a typical brainbuster but the opponent is placed in a cradle position (a vertical setup of the fisherman's suplex). Then as Mak jumps into the air, the opponent is dropped into a brainbuster. Nobody HAD kicked out of the Franchise Tag until Spike Jenkins did so, in his quest to get back to Toxxic... Submission: None at the moment. So many people have countered out of his once reliable hold that Mak just depends on his flash submissions. Re: Shoot fighting - fujiwara, guillotine choke, triangle choke, anklelock w/ leg grapevine, etc... not to mention the cross arm-breaker which is covered in greater detail above. Mak's amateur background lends itself well to flash submission holds, which is why he picked up the cross arm-breaker as easily as he did. Arieal: Brotherly Love – (Frog Splash after Gut-wretch suplex) - No need for an explaination. Notes: Mak Francis is cocky. You can see it in the way he walks and in the way he talks. Now back in ring shape, Mak is struggling to find his way back to the Main Event after a series of losses and surprising responses from the crowd, who backed Spike Jenkins over him. Extended (and boy do I mean EXTENDED) Bio: Mackenzie Francis (Mak to most), nicknamed “The Franchise” after receiving 2 time All-American status, 2 National Championships and US amateur gold medal, left amateur wrestling because there's no money in it and a true Franchise deserves to be living the high life… so, Mak entered the SJL and after gaining a small win streak, lost a TV title match to TNT. Requesting a rematch, Francis had a plan, joining the sWo and winning the belt with the help of its founding member, Matt Myers. Under the tutelage of Chris Wilson, bitter and feeling as though he was being held down by then commissioner, Edwin MacPhisto; Mak rose to the top of the JL, becoming a Euro/TV double champion, recruiting Fugue and Spike Jenkins for the sWo and during a high profile feud with CIA, held the World championship for a month. The pair ended this feud at Genesis III, with the Franchise coming out the victor and later that night joining the SWF’s Magnificent Seven by helping Chris Wilson defeat longtime rival Divefire. After Genesis, Wilson left the fed leading to the ascension of Tom Flesher as leader of the Magnificent Seven. Francis, a cocky rookie in the SWF, joined Flesher in tag team action as the East Coast Legacy and scored two high profile singles wins over WF veteran Thoth (the ICTV challenger at the time) and was set to challenge for said ICTV title… which Flesher held. Mak held his own on PPV in a great match, but Flesher was just too good of an opponent and forced the rookie to submit for the first time in his career. This falling out lead to the Franchise being “kicked-out” of the stable, though Mak had made a point in saying after the match, he could not respect Flesher for how he conducted himself during the match and therefore would not work with him. Joining Ced Ordonez, the two tag teamed and followed Thoth (a man he could respect) against Flesher, but Thoth turned on the two, believing himself to be a God and gained the ICTV title from Flesher on his own. Francis struggled, being on his own for the first time in his wrestling career, but a surprise non-title win over then US champ Danny Williams, got him back on track. He pinned Thoth the next show in a non-title match, staying undefeated against him (which is no longer the case) and solidified his tag team with Ced. Entering a Tag title contendership match, Mak was gaining his confidence back, but Ced was injured the day of and Francis had to call on longtime rival CIA to back him up. The two won and face Flesher and Frost, losing a close contest. Mak found out that Danny Williams, distraught over his non-title loss to a “green” Cruiserweight rookie who was kicked out of his stable; had attacked Ced, because he believed he was disrespected. After another loss to Flesher in singles, Francis confronted Williams and the M7 leader, saying that he wanted some respect, realizing that even though Flesher was the better man, that didn’t mean he was the entire M7’s bitch. This was seen by Williams as a complete LACK of respect for him (which it wasn’t) and the two traded wins and the US title, leading to Mak challenging Danny in a match Williams excelled in. A match that he could earn Williams’ respect in called an Ironman match. After a hard-fought contest that had Francis down a fall mere minutes into the match, Mak won in the final seconds (2 falls to 1) and after shaking hands with his opponent, became US champ and was made. Only to be put out of action by Michael Craven. Mak, upset at his losses/injury to Craven, worked hard and came back early, beating Craven on PPV in his return match for the US belt. After losing the belt back to Craven, Mak moved on to get an ICTV title shot… and won, holding the title for 79 days! During this time, SWF Hall of Famer Andrew Blackwell, or Sacred took an interest in Francis and his belt. The Sacred one played mind games and chipped away at Mak’s confidence, leading up to a triple-threat match during the Genesis IV World title tournament. Sacred, using a favor from the Suicide King, called off the match so no one could advance, screwing Mak and then challenged Francis at Genesis to a 2/3 falls’ Submission match, which was to be the final nail in the coffin—destroying Francis’ confidence. Fighting valiantly, at the biggest stage of them all, Mak was “stretchered” out of the ring after finally tapping out to Sacred’s upright figure four, re-injuring his knee and placing him on the shelf. Mak made a less than stellar comeback, clearly not ready to wrestle, and went down to another Hall of Famer, the H-Ville Thugg, in an “I Quit” match, as Francis tried to regain his lost pride and break into the main event. He was “stretchered” out once again, fighting hard, but failing and still not receiving a World Title shot in his entire three year SWF career. Now the Franchise is back. He’s been cleared to wrestle and is clearly after Sacred. But now, facing the challenge of his career—a return from over a year away from the business—can Mak finally break into the Main Event and prove what he has always believed. That he’ll only need one shot at the big belt to prove he’s this companies Franchise. Mak’s determined and more aggressive than ever, though the pressure is rising. But, as always, the Mak Attack has a trick or two up his sleeve… Meeting Sacred at Clusterfuck, in his first shot at the World title, Mak snapped in the Main Event, beating his opponent with a chair and getting disqualifed, after Sacred attempted to replicate his Genesis 4 preformance. After the match Toxxic and his Revolution came down, laid out Mak, and executed one of the most shocking turns of the year on Sacred. Francis wanetd Toxxic and anyone to do with the Revolution. Enter Spike Jenkins. Mak proved his short fuse once again, by facing off against Spike Jenkins, a former sWo partner and member of the Revolution who had laid him and Sacred out (before he got turned on as well), in a number one contendership match, which had Spike win by dubious means. Mak called him on it, saying Spike was a bitch and "proved" it by pulling out the win in a Pure Wrestling rules match, making Spike submit, even though he made the ropes and was almost outside the ring. This lead to a final battle, a 2/3 falls match ofr the right to face the hated Toxxic, ending with the Franchise on top and moving on to the Main Event. In his second attempt at World title gold, Mak was forced to submit by the Straight edge sensation and then Ejiro Fasaki in back to back matches. Clearly upset by this Mak was in a rut and got booked against Spike Jenkins. Sure he could win the match, Francis went into the match with his confidence high, but came out of it a loser as Spike became the first person to EVER kick out of the Jumping Fisherman's buster! Where does Mak go from here? Just what path will he take? Many predicted he'd win the World title by now and he hasn't. He may not walk the 'King's road™' (all rights reserved) but, as everyone knows... the third times the charm. Bank on it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toxxic 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2006 For reference, in his last appearances Mak was heel and involved in a feud with Danny Williams. Prior to that he was face, but in his comeback promo (where he came into Toxxic's dressing room after Toxx lost the World Title to Landon) he mentioned that he'd been watching from the skyboxes with Suicide King, so presumably they get on OK. I'd be inclined to think that for commentary purposes Mak will disagree with King not because he's a face and King's heel, but because he thinks he's right and King's wrong. Also, King probably won't insult him as much. But that's just my interpretation off one line that Mak put in a promo once Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
