FAWA: Drakin versus Richlen Caught Fire! (p39-40)

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

By the way, I'm not entirely sure how things work for matches that aren't on the card: can we post any match unannounced or is it only jobber matches?

I think it's allowed as long as the other person involved in the match agrees.

[BoilerRoomBrawler]

I focus my booking on the titles. The world outside of the titles is your playground. Members can write (and are encouraged to write) matches that aren't on the card whether they be squashes or full-on competitive exhibition bouts with fellow members. Don't post them though - send them to me so they can be part of the show.

As I remarked before, look at how this show has turned out so far. I booked one match and yet here are two of them written by members submitting their own. That's what I hope for every week. It show enthusiasm and initiative and every show benefits from it. More is better in this regard.

Now, enjoy the conclusion of the show.

E-DAY

*"Deal With The Devil" by Pop Evil plays and like Gookermania, Seth Drakin ascends the stage from an elevator surrounded by a small ring of fire. But unlike Gookermania, Seth is in a red suit and tie, while wearing glasses and sporting a big bandage on the side of his head. Seth leaves the ring of fire and rolls up his sleave showing a new wristguard that has Gookermania VI on it. It is on the arm that was raised at Gookermania VI and he raises that arm while pyro shoots from the stage, but Seth has to quickly put his arm down because he needed to hold his ribs. He climbs the stairs and enters the ring gingerly and smiles before rolling up his sleave as he speaks.*

DRAKIN: Gookermania VI has given me many injuries. I have had 25 stitches to the side of my head that this lovely bandage is covering. My ribs have felt like a wild fire is raging through them. My back has a number of bruises. That wristband that you all saw is covering another 5 stitches that I got from that table there. I am lucky to even be in the ring tonight and not in a hospital room.

However, I am happy to say that Gookermania VI was the greatest night in my pro wrestling career. After two years of dealing with that low-life Jonathan Michaels, I defeated him on the biggest stage inside the structure known as Hell in a Cell.

*Boos started after that and a chant of "You Screwed Jonathan" followed by claps happened. Seth just laughs and shakes his head.*

DRAKIN: I guess you all are upset about the way it happened. But let me quote a the legendary author and humorist Mark Twain, "Never let the truth stand in the way of a good story, unless you can't think of anything better." Well there is no story better than a man who was tormented by a man who he trusted, coming back and when it counted the most, he was victorious.

Jonathan Michaels, you can cry me a river all you want, but at the end of the day...the record books will state that I BEAT YOU. And if you were even here tonight, I would tell you the same damn thing.

After defeating that loathsome man who nearly ruined my life and by extension, the lives of my family. There really isn't much left for me to accomplish. I mean, I have done it all. I have guaranteed myself a first ballot Hall of Famer. I have stolen the show on Gookermania so many times that I truly am MR. GOOKERMANIA!!

But you see, I won't be retiring because when I signed the new two year contract, there were something that were in there so that cannot happen. You see, my contract is pretty ironclad that I cannot quit until it is over or I am too injured to continue and the last date on this contract is for Gookermania VIII. So mark Gookermania VIII down because that will be the last match I will ever have for this company and I will leave my mark on WWCF/FAWA history.

Now that E-Day is upon us and that the past is done and over with, I notice that after Gookermania, this company is without a world champion. Now, I remember Michael Hayden lose his chance at a rematch opportunity when he lost a match against William Anderson before Battle Bowl. But I never had my chance to either gain or lose my rematch so I'm cashing it in right now and seeing as their is no one else who has earned the right to face me, I say hand me the world title and I will become the 3 Time World Cham...

*Jonathan Michaels walks out onto the stage, mic in hand.*

MICHAELS: First of all, Seth, we both know the record books will state the truth, that I kicked your sorry ass inside the Cell.

But more importantly, you actually think they're going to hand you the World Title?

I know you're insulated in your own little world, but there's bigger things going on at the moment, another company whose initials I won't dignify has decided to invade our turf.

This company needs a steady hand as it's champion and locker room leader, not a paranoid, delusional turncoat like you, a man who a year ago was threatening to burn this company to the ground.

But you're right about one thing.

This company will have a three time World Champion.

But it's going to be me.

See, I planned on beating you and gracefully stepping back into retirement, but this little stunt by a bunch of thugs has convinced me that it would be remiss of me to abandon the company in it's hour of need.

So, here's what I'm going to do, I'm going to beat you, AGAIN, become the Champion once again and drive the invaders out of this company for good.

With or without your help.

Because I'll be damned if I let you take that belt and risk you betraying this company again, handing the invaders our biggest prize on a silver platter.

So, since you seem to think you have my number, I assume you accept my challenge?

*Seth grabs the mic.*

DRAKIN: Jonathan....Two two-time world champions fighting to be the first three time world champion....I accept. But hey, why don't we do this right now.

*The crowd cheers at that challenge, but neither man obviously moves and Seth just laughs.*

DRAKIN: Oh wait...I forgot that can't physically happen. You see, since your pride won't allow these people to know rhe truth, let me do it for you. There is a reason you are not walking into this ring and attempting to attack me as beat up as I look, and that is because you are just as beat up.

You see people, Jonathan is just as messed up by our match right now as I am and just like I obviously couldn't be medically cleared to compete, Jonathan has the same bill of heath as me. So since both of us are not medically cleared to compete, we can't have this match tonight.

But I'll tell you what. When both of us are medically cleared to compete (which knowing both of us, will take some time), I'll take you up on your little challenge.

TH: Incredible, King!
JK: I know, Gorilla.The screwjob of the century and now the rematch of the century!
TH: And history will be made when the very first three-time World Heavyweight Champion emerges from the dust.
JK: But what will FAWA Management do about this?
TH: We’ll just have to stay tuned in the weeks to come but up next is our main event as Hollywood’s Own Michael Hayden defends the Television Championship against Gus “The Predator” Richlen making his in-ring return. Right after these commercials.

E-DAY
TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
GUS RICHLEN VERSUS MICHAEL HAYDEN

MM: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the FAWA Television Championship!

*Gus Richlen walks through the crowd surrounded by police officers jumps over the rail and throws his hat and shirt into the crowd, which does have some boos for once, which Richlen completely ignores.*

MM: Introducing first, representing Predator Nation, from Peshtigo, Wisconsin, weighing in at 197 pounds, Gus "The Predator" Richlen!

TH: This match marks Gus Richlen's first appearance in a FAWA ring in several months, and by his own claim, he is looking to start from the bottom of the food chain and work his way up to reclaiming the World Championship.
JK: I am so disappointed that he came back, and it makes me sick that he's handed a title shot first thing! He's a worldwide pariah and doesn't deserve to be in this business!

*The arena flashes blue and white as the opening sounds of "Gimmie Shelter" ring out. As the lyrics kick in, Michael Hayden emerges, his head turned to the side as he looks over the captive crowd. He makes his way to the ring, focusing more on the audience than his opponent inside the ring. As he gets to the ring, Hayden slides underneath the ropes before going to the nearest turnbuckle, raising the Television Title high in the air. After a few seconds, Hayden lowers the title and looks out into the crowd before hopping off. Hayden hands the TV Title to a ring attendant before staring daggers at Richlen.*

MM: And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 192 pounds, the FAWA Television Champion, "Hollywood's Own," Michael Hayden!

TH: There has been no shortage of bad blood in the past between these two, and with Richlen's declaration that he wants to prevent Hayden from reaching the magic number of ten defenses, that will only get worse regardless of how this match ends.
JK: Hayden can take comfort in one thing, though: Richlen has never, EVER, beaten him, and it won't happen tonight either!

TH: It's that damn Anthony Travizzo! He has no business out here.
JK: I disagree, He feels that he was passed up for this match.
TH: Oh, that's a load of BS! He lost at Gookermania fair and square.

*Anthony Travizzo slowly walks down the entrancely shooting a cold glare at Michael Hayden the entire time. He stops at the Announcer's Desk and he removes his jacet, puts on a pair of headhones and takes a seat*

AT: What's happening guys?
TH: Well I'.......
AT: That was rhetorical.

*The referee calls for the bell and Richlen whips Hayden into the ropes but Hayden holds on.*

*Richlen runs in for a clothesline on Hayden but Hayden drops him to the apron.*

JK: He was a little overenthusiastic there
AT: I think that is from the layoff

*Richlen snaps the back of Hayden's head over the rope.*

*Richlen comes back into the ring an nails a snap suplex for two.*

TH: Beautiful suplex
JK: No doubt about that

*Richlen tries for a chokeslam but Hayden floats over and hits an Omega plex and follows up with Ronaldo Dos, connecting with Richlen's face.*

AT: That kick served no purpose but to show off. That's why I hate this guy. He cares more about popping the crowd than he does about anything else.
TH: Well then... what do you care about?
AT: Breakin' necks and cashin' checks... Also if you use that tone again, the next neck I break will be yours.
JK: He does that to me too

*Hayden rolls to the floor and gets a kendo stick from under the apron and rolls back in.*

*Hayden hits Richlen in the gut and then nails one to the head.*

TH: Under normal circumstances, that would be a disqualification, but not under Chaos Reigns rules, and Hayden can take full advantage!
AT: If you can't win the match by yourself, just use weapons...coward.

*Kana-Kazie!*

*1-2-kickout by Richlen!*

AT: Even with weapons this punk can't put him away

*Gus hits a reverse STO out of nowhere!*

*He grabs the kendo stick and throws it right out of the ring with a yell of I DON'T NEED THAT SHIT!

TH: I bet you like that Anthony.
AT: ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!
TH: On the flip side, Richlen was quite vocal on commentary for Hayden's defeat of Tobias Kingsley of his hatred of the new rules and he's making that disdain quite clear here!
JK: Then he has nobody to blame but himself if he loses again tonight! He could have given himself an easy way out, but NOOOOOOOOOOO, he still has to play the nice guy!

*Richlen picks up Hayden and hits three German Suplexes bridging on the last one 1-2-kickout by Hayden.*

*Hayden is returning to his feet when Richlen blasts him with a spear.*

AT: WHATTAMANUEVER! Sorry, I don't know what got into me there. I must have been channeling the spirit of somebody else.

*Richlen picks Hayden up and nails a flapjack on the turnbuckle followed by a rollup.*

*1-2- kick out by Hayden yet again!*

*Shotei out of nowhere!*

JK: Great move
AT: I'll give him that one.

*Hayden seems to be shaking out the cobwebs as he returns to his feet.*

*Hayden picks up the chair and nails Richlen in the spine several times before locking in the LeBelle Lock.*

AT: AGAIN?! No integrity whatsoever.
TH: It's legal
JK: Doesn’t make it right

*Richlen manages to get it into a pinning combination for two.*

*Hayden and Richlen collide mid ring with running clotheslines.*

*Both men make it to their feet and begin exchanging punches.*

*Carnosel on Hayden out of nowhere.*

TH: Carnosel out of nowhere!

*Richlen goes to the top rope and launches for the corkscrew shooting star press but Hayden moves, forcing Richlen to land on his feet.*

*Low blow with the chair from Hayden!*

AT: What a little Cazzo.
TH: Do we want to know what that means?
JK: My guess is no.

*Inside cradle! 1-2-Kickout from the challenger.*

*Hayden grabs a table, sets it in the corner, and hits Richlen's head off of it.*

*Hayden spears Richlen through the table! 1-2- Kickout by Richlen.*

AT: BASTARDO!
JK: I think I know that one!

*Hayden nails a double stomp to Richlen's chest.*

*Hayden tries for the end but Richlen nails a throat punch out of desperation.*

AT: Old school.

*Gus nails the Final Judgement!*

*1-2- No only a two count!

TH: I'm a bit surprised that Richlen was unable to pick up the win, but then again, this isn't the first time that Hayden has taken everything Richlen has thrown at him and survived.

*Richlen spots the chair and tosses it out of the ring before arguing with the ref that he needs to DQ Hayden.*

TH: Richlen can argue all he wants but the ref's hands are tied! There's no disqualifications in this match under Chaos Reigns!
JK: And to top it off, he's letting Hayden recover! Just wait til he turns around right about now!

*Killshot! 1-2-3!*

MM: Here is your winner and STILL FAWA Television Champion, "Hollywood's Own," Michael Hayden!

AT: I'm sorry, I have to get going.

*Anthony Travizzo hurriedly rips off his headphones and jacket. Out of his crumpled jacket he pulls his trusty tire iron*

TH: He's got that damn tire iron, Isabella!
JK: Maybe h has a flat!

*Travizzo rolls into the ring and floors Michael Hayden with a big tire iron shot to the gut and then across the back*

JK: I guess he doesn't have a flat.
TH: ...
JK: What?!
TH: BAH GAWD! Travizzo doesn't look finished yet. He is stalking the grounded Gus Richlen.

*Gus "The Predator" Richlen stumbles to his feet while Travizzo waits, ready to pounce. Gus turns towards Travizzo as he begins to barrell towards him. Travizzo levels Richlen with a massive lariat*

JK: Welcome to the Neighborhood Gus!

*Hayden crawls in to a seated position in the corner. Quickly Travizzo backs into the opposite corner. Travizzo makes the sign of the cross, and the rushes towards Hayden*

TH: Avviare Coma Indotto.
JK: The boot induced coma, Wow that is a violent move.
TH: Hayden might be out cold... Oh come on, You've done enough damage!

*Travizzo spots Richlen staggering to his feet. He grabs Richlen who responds with a kick in the gut. He follows with two big right hands*

TH: "The Predator" is fighting back!

*Richlen attempts to a clothesline to cap his comeback, but it is ducked by Travizzo. Richlen is met with a knee to the gut when he turns around. Travizzo then squeezes the neck in a standing Guillotine Choke*

JK: That comeback ended quickly Timmy! HAHA!
TH: Travizzo calls this move, "The Gag Order".

*Richlen's body goes limp and he is dropped to the mat like a sack of potatoes. Travizzo surveys the damage he left and raises his arms defiantly. He grabs Isabella and his jacket before stalking off with a grin on his face*

TH: That was a sickening and indefensible display.
JK: Travizzo felt passed over for a TV Title that he thought was his. Sometimes you have to take what you want Hoss.
TH: He left two men unconscious DAMMIT! This an't right!
JK: The ends justify the means in this business Hoss.

Also, I'm just waiting on a single promo and then it's go time for the conclusion.
While I'm here, next week at least two matches are confirmed:

Television Championship
Michael Hayden vs (No Spoilers)

Exhibition Match
David McLaren versus Boiraa Ruumu Burouraa


Are there any other matches that we should look forward to?

Which EvangeliAnt would we like to see get a squash match first?

And will a member of Predator Nation OR Team Monster Girl get booked?

[SsnakeBite, the No1 Frenchman]

I just noticed the points thing. For future reference, is there somewhere we can check the number of points we've accumulated?

It should be on the first page.

[BoilerRoomBrawler]

Well... About that... Right now I'm posting points earned for future reference. Since Connor lagged things behind I need to figure out what everyone should have. The front page is currently inaccurate.

[BoilerRoomBrawler]

All right we have at least two confirmed matches: the Television Championship and McLaren/Burouraa. The former, as a title match, will go to vote. The latter is shaping up to not be a voted match.

Here's what I'm thinking for the TV Title Match, tell me what you guys think: Michael Hayden versus Jan Hamala. Hamala isn't ranked yet, so this puts him in there. He becomes a fresh opponent for Hayden, and it lets Travizzo and Richlen square off in an exhibition match which may as well determine the next TV Title contender. and if they're cool with that, I can book that too.

Cool with me too.

[BoilerRoomBrawler]

Very well. Here seems to be the next card with notes on votes.

Television Championship (Vote - Championship match)
Jan Hamala versus Michael Hayden

Exhibition Match (Vote - winner faces TV champ)
Gus Richlen versus Anthony Travizzo

Exhibition Match (no vote - not related to any title)
David McLaren versus Boiraa Ruumu Burouraa

If there are no objections or match requests I'll send this one out later tonight. I think from now on I'll do that "blitz" style voting - take a day or two and nothing more. It gives writers their results in a timely fashion and keeps the show going.

[BoilerRoomBrawler]

Also, I'd just like to add that just because your character qualifies for a title-related match didn't mean you have to pause ongoing feuds with other characters. To me, that's only an opportunity to integrate feuds into spots or even finishes. Nothing like a heel with a grudge to sabotage a face's victory.

[BoilerRoomBrawler]

Also, just a note as I finally got around to reading the promo thread: Gus and RTM - I suggest you work on a Shaelin/McGlade match for next week. Keep the ball rolling to a Women's Title. I invite others to create Women Wrestler characters - and actually write them - if you also want to see the title instated.


So now that the card has been sent, who's writing what?

[ratetankmark]

I'll PM Gus about writing a McGlade and Shaelin match and we'll co-op with it

[The Man They Call Asher]

BRB, are you ever going to respond to my PM?

Yes, do so.

Also, I'll write my match with Travizzo.

[BoilerRoomBrawler]

Realized that it never, ever occurred to me until now to post a link to The Big, Big Book of Wrestling Moves. You can find them over in the Writers' Workshop and Roster threads now. Enjoy.

[bigrick0016]

Sorry, I've not been around. I forgot bout the new faster paced schedule. I'll promo and do the match writing with Chael Sonnen (Gus is Chael Sonnen to me)
