The Smartmark's Wrestling Federation Presents...
SWF STORM
LIVE, FRIDAY, APRIL 7th, FROM THE PYRAMID IN MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE!


(7:00pm PST, 10:00pm EST; check local listings)


Guest Commentator: EDWIN MACPHISTOOOOOOOOOOOO~!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

THE MAIN EVENT - SWF INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Wildchild © vs. Michael Cross


---> Family matters all taken care of - Wildchild is back, and he's ready to defend his property! On Smarkdown, Michael Cross bested a former International Champion and a former World Title Contender to win a shot at the title. Cross and Akira recently lost their tag team gold, but Akira fights on in the Cruiserweight Division - will Cross find singles gold of his own tonight?

Rules: Standard singles match.

Iron Australian Knockout Challenge
JJ Johnson vs. Janus


---> I dunno, man. If Janus was my boss, I'd try not to shirk my duties. There's a reason they call him the Hell Machine, you know.

In any event, JJ tempted Fate, and Fate is about to open up a can. After proudly claiming he would be on his way to the World Title, JJ mucked up his triple threat match, prompting no small amount of ridicule from people backstage, Joseph Peters included. Peters, being a charitable sort of fellow, is still willing to toss JJ a Number One Contender bone - as long as he can take down Janus.

Yeah, right.

Rules: No clue.

SWF CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
"The Divine Wind" Akira Kaibatsu © vs. Christian Fury


---> Akira asks for defense! Akira gets defense! Having dismantled every contender thus far, the odds are in his favor, but Christian Fury has been known to bring the funk, among other things, when the situation so requires it. He's got a crack at the Cruiserweight Championship - with that kind of motivation, he's certainly capable of the upset.

Rules: Standard singles match, with Cruiserweight addenda - 20 count outside, no throwing over the top rope.
Word Limit: 5500

BARB-WIRE LANDMINE MATCH
Bruce Blank vs. Insane Luchadore


---> DAAAAAAAMN. Amy Stephens brought Bruce's legendary title reign to a screeching halt on Smarkdown, and if I know Bruce, he is just a teensy bit less than thrilled right now. He wants revenge! HE WANTS A REMATCH BUT OH NO HE DOESN'T GET IT YET! After his little cage-collapsing stunt a few shows ago, Peters booked Bruce vs. IL Round 2 in advance - so instead of getting a crack at his title, he's got to get through Insane Luchadore!

Rules: Hell if I know. I meant to ask Bruce, but forgot. D'oh. Will edit in.

"Hollywood" Spike Jenkins vs. Landon "La Cucaracha" Maddix

---> Landon has reluctantly agreed to stop breaking necks. Ironic that around the same time, Spike Jenkins has turned into a crazed people-attacking fiend. Let's see how it feels for Landon to be on the receiving end of a crazy-man ass kicking!

Rules: Standard singles match.

Amy Stephens © vs. Zyon (non title)

---> Scheduling conflicts prevent Bruce Blank from cashing in his automatic rematch until next show - in the mean time, Amy's looking for a fight, and we're only too happy to oblige! Zyon, no stranger to hardcore matches, will keep her in tune.

Rules: In a strange turn of events, this will be fought under standard Hardcore rules! Falls count anywhere, no DQ, no count out!

Kevin Coyote and Avery vs. Jimmy the Doom and The Crimson Skull

---> Now normally, you'd think Jimmy the Doom and The Crimson Skull would be the strangest team on the card, but given Avery's actions last show, Team Kevvery may be giving them a run for their money. In any event, Jimmy is no stranger to tag team success - can he put aside his differences with the Skull in order to school the untested Coyote and Avery?

Rules: Standard tag team match.

OPENING BOUT
Grendel vs. Matt "The Cosplay Master" Myers


---> Ahhh! Fresh meat! A newcomer arrives in the SWF, and is set up in the obligatory Matt Myers match! Can Myers end his 381293821912 match losing streak? I think so.

Rules: Standard singles match.

Who the fuck is Grendel? Did I miss something?

 

What, is the concept of a newbie that foreign to everybody these days?

 

Also, beware, beware. Hide the women and small furry animals.

Here we go - a latter-era Edwin stats post.

 

 

 

SmarkBoards Name: Edwin MacPhisto

Wrestler Name: Edwin MacPhisto

Aliases: The Mac Daddy, The Crown Prince of Flash and Panache

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 239

Hometown: Leeds, England.

Age: Unknown; he looks to be in his late 20s, early 30's on the bad days.

Face/Heel: Full-on flashy face.

Stable: Midnight Carnival (Leader)

Tag Partner: When necessary, any Carnival member.

Ring Escort: Ditto.

Weapon: A microphone.

Quote: "Come on down, the devil's in town!"

"Hallelujah, b*tch!"

“Step right up!”

 

LOOKS: Quick reference: Tall and lanky, more wiry than a model of brute strength, Edwin MacPhisto bears quite a resemblance to Edge or Steven Richards physically: thin, but with a modestly-built upper body. He has a thin face with a prominent chin, clean-shaven of late. His hair, dyed red and occasionally highlighted with haphazard silver streaks for big matches, is puffy, loose, wavy, and oft unkempt. His left eye is green and his right eye yellow, and no one's really sure if it's natural or contacts. In the ring, he wears loose fitting pants, usually a pair of bright red and silver camouflage-style trousers. Up top he’ll wear a t-shirt or muscle shirt emblazoned with either a union jack or the logo of a band from the catalogue of classic British rock--Zeppelin, the Who, the Kinks, etc. He wears black boots--ladder laced Doc Martens--and often a pair of mirrored sunglasses, which are frequently tossed to adoring fans. The one article of clothing that absolutely defines the Mac Daddy, however, is his trademark sleeveless red vinyl trenchcoat, worn both to the ring and just about anywhere else this wanderer goes. Since he's currently the world and tag champion, he wears the World Title around his waist, and usually slings his Tag Title over one shoulder.

 

RING ENTRANCE: The house lights drop out as the hovering, haunting beginning of “Battleflag” by the Lo-Fidelity All-Stars starts to float through the arena. The SmarkTron fires up, providing the only source of illumination in the form of grey silhouettes fading in and out, silhouettes of a man with his arms outstretched, a man holding a microphone, and a man leaning on a lamppost. A light beat drops in, and the voice of Edwin MacPhisto rises up from the back as he cuts his trademark pre-match promo, taunt, or wisecrack.

 

(Insert Edwin mini-promo here)

 

The music swells to a thick, bumping human beatbox beneath Edwin’s words, and a pair of blue spotlights begin to swing back and forth across the entrance way, moving like pendulums in sync with the beat. As Edwin finishes his speech, the music makes its final swell and the spotlights break off their pendulous paths and spiral out into the arena, completely symmetrical in their ripping arc until they come back to the entrance stage and meet, a stuttering drumbeat echoing as they collide and send forth a wall of sudden purple strobe lights. The vocals of “Battleflag” drop in, and streaks of red and gold pyro erupt from the entrance ramp, prompting red and gold disco lights to whirl around the arena as the SmarkTron shows highlights from Edwin’s career. The man himself steps out into the spectacle, World Heavyweight Title clasped around his waist, and Tag Title over his shoulder. He absorbs the audience’s applause, and then makes his way down to the ring, removing his coat, tossing it over the top rope, and sliding under the bottom rope to catch it on the other side. Edwin discards his accessories and takes his place in the ring, eagerly awaiting the start of the show.

 

TAG/STABLE ENTRANCE: The arena lights fade into blackness as a soft female voice whispers, “Midnight Carnival.” The SmarkTron flashes blazing white in time with the opening beats of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Love Rollercoaster” as the Carnival’s anthem pumps through the arena, revealing with each flash thin black lettering that reads “Step Right Up.” As the guitar part drops in, three blue laser lights trace the arena, all stemming from the same point in the middle of the entrance ramp. As the words “rollercoaster of love” echo through the arena for the first time, the laser lights flare out into a blue haze across the entrance ramp as the members of the Midnight Carnival step out from behind the curtain. As the refrain arrives for the first time, the arena plunges back into darkness just as purple strobe lights tear through the house and the blue laser lights spiral wildly, illuminating the members of the Midnight Carnival in funky, staccato bursts. The SmarkTron video plays, flashing half-second clips of classic maneuvers from the Carnival’s members. They make their way to the ring, and get down to the business at hand.

 

STATS

¯¯¯¯¯

Strength: 3 (Can handle hefting opponents his own weight or less well enough; struggles a bit when we pass 250 pounds)

Speed: 6 (Oo, he’s exceptionally sprightly for his size, quite agile)

Vitality: 4 (Can take a licking, but won’t keep on ticking all that long)

Charisma: 7 (He’s the Crown Prince of Flash and Panache! Of course they love him. A serious fan favorite.)

 

STYLE: Technical and flashy, with a fair share of striking attacks, grapples, and stylish innovations. He's coined it "logical impact." Focuses often on either the neck or the knee.

 

SIGNATURE MOVES (Edwin’s ‘trademark’ moves and innovations)

 

1. Corkscrew brainbuster – often a setup for a finisher, especially the Union Jack. Usually not straight-drop; more of a suplex onto the head.

2. Dragon sleeper Russian legsweep – again, often a setup for a finisher, especially the Union Jack.

3. Shotei. Used very frequently and in varying strengths. Pelvic thrusting optional.

4. Delayed German suplex.

5. Springing sidekick – a straight-leg jumping sidekick (re: Booker T style).

6. Inverted DDT - primarily a fast counter out of suplexes and power moves.

7. “Love Rollercoaster” - spinebuster-into-powerbomb chain. Faster than it is strong.

8. “Midnight Special” - bulldog/facebuster combo. Edwin leaps for a bulldog, sitting out and bringing his knees under and into the falling opponent's face for a double impact.

9. “Cocktail O' Shame” - two brisk slaps, "bitch-slaps," if you will, one across each of the opponent's cheeks, followed by a graceful flourish and a final strike, ranging from a spear to a snap kick to a reverse elbow to whatever Edwin's feeling at the moment. Humiliation in three hits.

10. “Sound Check” – a desperation Roll-the-Dice (inverted facelock swinging neckbreaker). Fast and strong, usually floors both Edwin and the opponent, and is almost always either a counter or the desperate last grasp of a floundering MacPhisto.

 

 

UNCOMMON MOVES (Edwin uses these just as often as the signature moves; they’re just not as fancy)

 

1. Dragon screw legwhip. Preferred takedown.

2. Double German suplex.

3. Half Boston crab submission.

4. Gamengiri/enzuigiri (jumping roundhouse kick to the face/back of head; Edwin often hits one, lands on his feet, then reverses direction and hits the other).

5. DDT.

6. Running dropkick (usually off the ropes).

7. Tope suicida. If Edwin’s going to exit the ring in style, this is often how it’s done.

8. Successive snap kicks to wear down the opponent, often targeting the knees/legs.

9. Hangman (neck snap over the ropes).

10. Slingshot legdrop from the apron into the ring.

 

RARE MOVES (in descending order of rareness)

 

1. “Crown Prince Clutch” – a back-mounted dragon sleeper. Edwin doesn’t usually go for a submission win, but if it makes sense to, he’ll go to this. Occasional shouts of "Yeehaw, I'm a cowboy!" have occasionally been heard during the execution.

2. Dragon suplex.

3. Kip-up DDT – laying on his back, Edwin kips up, grabs a forward-bending opponent in a facelock, and slams him down with a DDT, all in one fluid motion. Takes about 2 seconds altogether and totally shocks the opponent.

4. “Air MacPhisto” – utterly devastating top-rope falcon arrow. It is a shockingly strong man who gets up from this one – generally, the people Edwin can manage to lift for it aren’t getting up. Employed most often on opponents who’ve scouted the Encore Cross well or somehow kicked out of it.

5. “The Encore Cross” - Edwin's simpler, original SWF finisher, still potent, but infrequent. After a year of prominence in the SWF, most of the fed has learned to counter it fairly easily. Edwin stands back to back with his opponent, hooks the arms, and then vaults forward, falling to his knees and bringing the opponent down on his neck/upper back with a spike backslide. Edwin bridges the backslide for the pin as the opponent crumples. Faster than the Union Jack, but not as lethal.

 

FINISHERS

 

Union Jack - The opponent is significantly dazed. Edwin takes him into a back-to-back arm hook, very similar to the Encore Cross...but instead of the usual vault forward, Edwin shoves his palms into the the target's underarms and tosses him up over his right shoulder, opponent's back facing down. Edwin spins 180 degrees as he holds the opponent ever-so-briefly in the Canadian backbreaker position, then takes two running steps forward and leaps. Edwin lands on his knees as he flips the victim straight down with an entirely unprotected powerbomb/piledriver, a nearly vertical bump on the back of the head/neck. Edwin ends on his knees as the opponent crumples. This is intended to look really cool, really nasty, and altogether only take about 5-10 seconds to complete--there's a lot of description, but it's actually pretty simple to visualize: back-to-back, Canadian backbreaker rack, rotate, running/jumping unprotected drop. The motions and transitions are all fluid. This will put you down for the 3-count, period.

 

Spinal Tap – a tornado stunner. Identical to an Acid Drop, except ending in a stunner rather than a diamond cutter. Edwin’s “come out of nowhere” finishing maneuver, and useful on large opponents.

 

NOTES: MacPhisto lives to entertain. He ALWAYS cuts a short promo over his entrance music. His mentality is generally carefree and whimsical, but he's taken on a progressively harder edge throughout his WF tenure. He's not above occasionally playing dirty if he needs to, especially if it'll help him put on what he thinks to be a better performance in the ring. One note: he really doesn't curse that much, unlike most of the other guys in the federation.

 

In terms of fighting style, Edwin wrestles with flash and panache. He is relatively well-rounded and quite agile for someone of his size, but it's not too often that he's the strongest or best-conditioned man in the ring. Edwin thus relies more on his speed, innovation, and the magic of gravity to get him through his matches, as many of his maneuvers require little input for a whole lot of impact on the output side. As for his proficiencies: MacPhisto is a powerful striker. His assortment of palm strikes and kicks are examples of him exploiting his speed and focusing what strength he has, and if he can lure an opponent into a striking duel, chances are he'll come out on top. A common misconception: the Mac Daddy is a showman, but not a suicidal bump machine; he's intelligent and experienced enough to put on a spectacle without killing himself in the process.

 

BIO: The Crown Prince of Flash and Panache came to IGN to spice things up and put on a show, and he's done just that. Rising to the occasion early in his ML career, stylish Edwin became Western US Champion in just his third match and went on to notch an 8-1 minor league record, along the way befriending the King of Hearts and Spark and founding the Midnight Carnival. Although passed over in the official talent bump, MacPhisto came to the WF at From the Fire as a surprise member of Jayson Grant's newest Corporation, selling out and arriving just in time to falcon arrow Fallout into little pieces and steal a win for his new Corporate master. Alongside Bobby Riley, MacPhisto raised bloody hell, until the controlling, hateful desires of his Corporate stablemates became too much to bear. Seeking independence and self-understanding, MacPhisto broke from the Corporation, effectively dissolving it as he went about his way, and soon found himself in opposition to Evil, Inc., Stubby P. McWeed, and his old nemesis, Fallout, as he made his way into the main-event scene and back into the arms of his funky, flashy, fan-favorite roots, the Midnight Carnival.

 

At the Snake Eyes PPV, Edwin won the NY title, his first piece of WF gold, a fine championship that he promptly renamed the UK belt, representing Britain (among other things). Around this time, the Carnival started to get into an antagonistic relationship with Chris Wilson and friends, and a sort of rivalry of wits between Wilson and Edwin continues to this day. After defending the belt in the first ever “Stairway to Panda” match, he went on to the Ground Zero PPV, where Grimedogg rocked his world and took the belt away. Edwin, voracious sucker that he is, kept on trucking, and went on to Apocalypse, where he won the ICTV title away from Axis and Xstasy after a truly brutal elimination match. Shortly thereafter, Edwin lost the belt to Chris Storm in his first title defense, following some nasty interference involving a dark man named Grahf and a piledriver onto a steel chair. At Genesis II, Edwin confronted Grahf, and for his troubles received a heavily smashed up knee that put him out of commission for nearly two months.

 

Edwin returned, but found himself once more plagued by injuries, suffering some severe neck trauma at the conclusion of a feud with the treacherous Suicide King. Edwin finally healed up to make his return at the No Sells Christmas! PPV, winning the tag titles alongside Mark Stevens and convincing El Luchador Magnifico to join the Carnival. Soon after Clusterf**k 2002, the Clan and the Carnival came into quite a complicated conflict of interests, and the Clan captured the tag titles, leaving Edwin sour. However, at this year’s From the Fire, Edwin got a slice of revenge, capturing his second ICTV championship from the hands of Thoth. After finishing out the heated program with the Clan, Edwin found himself the target of Sacred’s antagonism, as the Aussie attempted to hijack “Love Rollercoaster” from the Carnival. Edwin proudly defended the music and the belt. Shortly thereafter Deputy Commissioner Johnny Rotten enlisted with the Carnival on a common ground of hatred for Commissioner Stubby P. McWeed, and he used his commissionary position to restore the contract of Chris Raynor! A nagging neck injury began to wear Edwin down and was one of the chief causes of his ICTV title loss to Thoth, but Commissioner McWeed continued to slight the Carnival, denying Mark Stevens matches and forcing Edwin to wrestle on a bad neck. After a series of retaliatory pranks and harassments, Stubby became fed up and enlisted a complex contract clause to let the Suicide King book a retirement match between Edwin and Mark Stevens, a match that, after tremendous emotion and high levels of trickery from King himself, Edwin won. Mark Stevens was forced to retire, leaving the Carnival at four enlisted. Shortly thereafter, Edwin entered a program with the Hville Thugg and Perfect Bo, and at Crossfire 2002, he won his first SWF World Heavyweight Title.

 

Of course, with the return of Chris Wilson, things heated up. Edwin successfully defend his title at Snake Eyes 2002, but his Midnight Carnival came into opposition with Wilson's newly formed Magnificent Seven. July was all-out war between the two stables. Along the way Edwin started a second tag title reign, this time with Chris Raynor...but now he faces some of the biggest challenges of his career. Meanwhile, other tensions boil beneath the surface, and Edwin MacPhisto is on edge and more aggressive than ever.

 

But, as always, the Mac Daddy’s got a few tricks up his sleeves…

 

 

--------------------

 

 

So yeah, that's Edwin. Bizarre, speech full of non-sequiters, arch-enemy of Suicide King after the then-King of Hearts turned his back on the Midnight Carnival. Had exceptionally memorable programs with Chris Raynor and Silent/Nathaniel Kibagami where he got rather 'grittier'. Expect him to prank King (perhaps in quite a juvenile way), weird him out with odd speech and argue with him over anything and everything.

 

Here's an example of him on commentary during Blazenwing vs Blazenwing at Ramadomination.

Sorry, Spike - I don't recall a specific request to not book this match, but I accidentally lost a lot of PM's I should've kept last time I cleaned my inbox, so I may have accidentally wiped that.

Sorry about getting my stats up late, Criplercrosface9, I hope it didn't hinder your match writting process. They are up now, though.

Grendel, I like your stats, but the crucifix armbar you have in your sigs is the same thing as my juji-gatame finisher (unless you mean something different). You don't have to change it, but if you don't change it, lend it some sort of credibility, would you?

 

Welcome to the fed!

I'm not to sure about the juji-gatame but the crucifix arm bar is supposed to be one where you jump up behind somebody, grabbing one of their arms with your legs and the other arm with your arms before rolling them to the mat and holding on with an armbar. Maybe I'm thinking of something with a different name though.

That sounds like a crucifix rollup, which Booker T and Austin Aries do (although Aries' is more of a bomb than a pinning combination), into an armbar. That's fine, if it's true; you just need to describe some moves better to avoid this sort of situation.

 

EDIT: And that is a TERRIBLE juji-gatame.

Since we were talking about stats, why is there none for Matt "The Cosplay Masters" Myers for me to use? Is there anything about him you guys can let me in on? Thanks!

Apologies, Grendel - I thought someone else had put them up. They're in there now, bottom of the thread.

 

Intro and character notes can be ignored, though, as it is his opponents job to decide what kind of silly gimmick he'll be using each show. Go wild. :P
