Tone yo' flab

- @Panthera is backstage, unusually serious. You, Me, and Dupree have been running amok in UCA, and it's high time somebody put them down! Cena going through XIII started it, and Panth is gonna finish it tonight.

-There's a UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY on the line as Mario faces King @Maniac64 with the best and worst Rumble numbers on the line, but also we get a video package from a couple days ago. Mario visited Bob Ross! They had a good time painting happy little trees that looked suspiciously like green clouds.

-#1/#30 Rumble Numbers Match: MoT Mario v. King Maniac
Maniac tries a cheap shot by throwing his crown at Mario, and scores a hit, but getting in a hat-throwing fight with Mario is a bad idea, and ends poorly for the king. Mario with a big discus punch, but Maniac rebounds off the ropes and just flattens him with an awkward-looking shoulderblock. Mario's hurt a bit, and Maniac presses the advantage by chucking him into the announcers' chairs and grounding and pounding. Maniac's in control! Mario goes for a big slam, but his back gives out and Maniac crushes him. 1....2....no! Maniac follows up with a diving headbutt. Both are down, but Mario is able to collect himself and unleash a few open hand strikes. Maniac fights back with a big noogie....Implant DDT! 1......2......3! Maniac is going to be #30!
Winner: Maniac

-Cueto comes out to taunt the reeling Mario. He can't cut a promo, he can't take a bump, he can't do a slam....and now he can't win the Rumble! Cueto knew he was going to be able to set up Maniac for success like this.


-King (from Tekken) is here! He is raising money for his orphanage, so at the Royal Rumble, he is going to have a special charity match with the biggest legend he could find....Ric Flair!

-B8UCA Championship: Champion Bangladesh DuPree v. Panthera
Modified Psycho Crusher right off the bat! Panth is gonna feel that one! Bang tries for a quick pin, but Panth reverses it to stop her momentum. The dogs at ringside show concern as Bang hits a massive vertical suplex. Spinning toe hold into a rollup! 1....2....3!
Winner and still champion: Bang

-Cueto's music hits. He is not quite sure about that match- he thinks he saw Bang down for three when Panth reversed that rollup! All Panth has to do is say the word, and like any good boy, he'll get his back scratched. Of course, if Cueto does Panth a favor, he'll expect one in return......

((....I'm actually gonna let Panth choose what he wants to do here! Turn heel and get the UCA title, or get on the boss's bad side?))

Show #41

-Bowser is all set up to host an interview, but Cueto appears! He doesn't need any wusses hosting this segment, and sends him to the back to bring out the REAL Hardcore champion, @davidponte ! A bit uncomfortable with the tension, David brings out Mario to talk about his Unique Opportunity tonight against Maniac. Mario is equally uncomfortable, and shows uncharacteristic lack of eloquence, talking about how beards and mustaches are both good, and he's going to the main event of the rumble. David eventually manages to guide him through saying that he's facing Maniac, with the winner getting the coveted #30 spot and the loser entering first.

-The Knights Radiant get themselves HYPED UP in advance of @Korayashi 's match. He might have lost the Mastery of Taybles, but he has friends now, and partners in beardy crime!

-Match: @Strife2 v. Korayashi w/Maniac and Zangief
Bowling shoe ugly brawl to start out, but Kora impresses with an early top rope missile dropkick. Kora gets a bit too cocky and starts mocking the crowd, and Strife makes him pay with a series of rough slams. Strife whips Kora into the ropes, but Kora reverses, hitting the ref with Strife! The ref takes a quick bump, and that's Kora's chance! Zangief slides Kora some brass knucks, and he nails Strife with them! Ref is up and at em, but didn't see the international object. Cover! 1....2....3!
Winner: Kora

((Kora learns Helped G))

-Daniel Bryan comes out for his match against @Eddv , but his entrance is dubbed over by an oddly orchestral diss track from R-Truth.

-Match: Bryan v. Eddv w/Caelus
Bryan controls early, but Eddv rolls out the power offense to great effect. It's back and forth, with Caelus also interjecting himself. Bryan gets the Figure Four on, but Eddv reverses it on him! Bryan manages to escape, but is then subjected to frequent interference. Eddv keeps the ref distracted while Caelus smashes a shot glass over Bryan's head! Bryan's busted open! Shots Fired! 1.....2....3!
Winner: Eddv

-Wakka scoffs that the great Daniel Bryan went down easy.

@IhatethisCPU
-ECHO stops on their way in to contemplate the cheers of the crowd, still not quite used to being on the face side.

-Match: ECHO v. Bison
ECHO takes control off the bell, but early on they both go for crossbodies, and collide weird. ECHO is holding their head, but will fight through it. Match goes home early, with ECHO powering through by sheer force of will and/or robotics.
Winner: ECHO

-Bang appears on the screen live via satellite....with Undertaker's urn! ECHO is distressed....as Bang yeets the urn into the ocean! ....And it was all a trap, as Bang shows up to run in on poor ECHO!

-Brawl: ECHO v. Bang
ECHO is still feeling that weird bump, and tries to go for a chair before Bison snatches it away. Bang is able to work the crowd a bit before finishing ECHO off at ringside to her satisfaction.

-YMD aren't done yet, as when Cena and @ScareChan come out for the next match, Bison grabs the B8WL title and rips the spinner off it!

-Match: CeNation (B8WL Champ Cena and Scare) v. XIII and Flair
Scare gets isolated and picked apart early on, but a hot tag to Cena restores a measure of equilibrium. Still, Flair has time to grab a headset and talk about how great XIII is mid-match. A couple of questionable calls from the ref also break in the heels' favor- missed tags and such. Flair even lands a low blow on Scare, but instead of trying to cover, he tags in XIII, who promptly gets his Pedigree reversed! Big tag to Cena! He goes for the AA, but XIII slips out. Cena Spinebusters him anyway! Cover! 1....2....3!
Winners: Cena and Scare

-Bowser has been forced to vacate the Hardcore title! As such, we will decide a new champion tonight...and it will be between Bowser's apparent new friend @Eddv and his last challenger @davidponte ! Eddv doesn't seem to think David deserves a shot, but David is not going to repeat his mistake of underestimating the power of numbers! He's ready no matter what MLMF throws at him!

-Hardcore Title: David v. Eddv
David's got a roll of quarters, and bops Eddv a quick one to start, but Eddv is able to shake it off. He is less able to tank a chair shot, but he does have the presence of mind to roll away and break the momentum. David chucks a harmonica at him, and then chases him down for a tackle into the barricade! David's up first after a brief pause, and Eddv throws some hands but there's not much behind them. Eddv manages to drum up some momentum, but David lowblows him! It's all legal! Cover barely gets one. David chucks him into the crowd and tries it again....1......2.....3!
Winner and NEW Hardcore Champ: David
((it was closer than that writeup made it seem- Eddv just kept scoring on his ability to shrug off offense >_>))

-David celebrates with the belt, but also sells Eddv's (token amount of) offense! That was a brawl and a half!

Show #40

-KoopAWESOME are in the ring, and regret to inform you that the actions of a crazed fan have put Bowser on the shelf. All the boys (and Bang) in the back are entertainers, nothing more, and it is sad to see somebody's grip on reality driving them to this. Bowser's going to be around for hosting though, and he's got a few surprises up his sleeve!

-Match: Bryan v. Truth
The announcers are busy talking about Bowser and the Rumble, and even talking about the match they're more focused on Bryan. It's speed vs. speed in the early going- Bryan even tries a springboard crossbody, but doesn't get all of it. One of the Yes Kicks gets a bit low, and Eddv objects from ringside. After arguing with the ref, he charges Bryan! ECHO comes out for the save, Flair comes out to help out, and we've got a bench-clearing brawl on our hands!
NO CONTEST

-Match: @Strife2 v. Flair
With Sonic avenged and the Mario thing likely going nowhere, what is next for the man of Darkness? Nothing pretty, judging by this match, as both go to town with everything but the kitchen sink. Strife freakin' lawn darts Flair into the corner, busting him open! Flair is too tough and wily to let that keep him down too long, though. They battle back and forth a bit longer before Flair gets a chokehold. Ref breaks it up in a timely fashion, but it looks like Strife is a bit winded, and Flair rolls him up for 3!
Winner: Flair

-The Beards are in the house, back for one night only! Their folk rock sounds lighten the mood, but more importantly, Mario is mesmerized by their titular glorious facial hair!

-Master of Tables: Champion Mario v. @Korayashi
Kora is able to blindside the distracted Mario, but Mario fires back with a Mario Tornado. Kora rebounds off the ropes and takes a leaping chop. Mario hits a gorilla press slam, and sends Kora flying t'rew a tayble with a Super Jump Punch!
Winner: Mario

-Kora shrugs off the loss and parties to the back with the Beards, but they're still in the way when it's time for the face team to come out to face Kora's new buddies.

-Match: @eaedwards6400 and @MajinZidane v. Knights Radiant ( @Maniac64 and Zangief)
The faces struggle out of the gate. Boko and Eaed manage to put together a rally, only to have it dashed by a MASSIVE lariat from Maniac that gets a pop even as a heel. Boko is able to cut in and give Eaed some relief, but Maniac eventually puts a stop to that, and Zangief puts Eaed away with a string of suplexes.
Winners: Knights Radiant

-Maniac was TIRED of being this fed's poster boy! It felt too much like a destination, and he's all about the journey. Zangief just wants to smash airsick Americans. Kora just likes beards. (hey Maniac I don't know if you had a beard before but you do now)

- @XIII_rocks , Bang, and Bison have formed YOU ME AND DUPREE, and get an annoyingly flashy entrance to celebrate.

-Match: CeNation (B8WL Champ Cena, Rock, and @ScareChan ) v. YMD (XIII, UCA Champ Bang, and Bison)
Bison starts the match, which turns out to be a grave error, as the faces are able to keep him in their half of the ring and just have their way with him for an extended period until he fights out to tag Bang. Day late and a dollar short though- Bang eats a Rock Bottom and falls prey to one of the faster-counting refs in the fed. XIII didn't even get to fight!
Winner: Cena

-Cena and his pals may have gotten the best of XIII's crew today, but did they forget that he has one more friend? Flair runs in and takes a hammer to Rock's knees!A brawl breaks out again, but the damage is done, and Rock's gonna be out of commission for a while.

The Steiners hit on Francine, starting to turn nasty when she doesn't bite, until the Pitbulls run them off. (C-) Bam Bam Bigelow rolls through Shane Helms with little ado. (C-) Bigelow decides to toss Helms around a bit after the match, and Mark Henry comes out to supervise! Things look bad for the kid until the Hardy Boyz come out with chairs to make the save! (E+)

The odd couple of Richards and Dreamer faces Network reps Whipwreck and Jericho next. It essentially devolves into a one on one after Cactus runs in on Whipwreck on the outside, and Windham gets in Richards' ear to convince him to stand down. Jericho gets the pin on Richards in the confusion. (C-) Heyman comes down to chew out Windham. Windham thinks he's better than everybody, but he can take that sanctimonious crap and shove it because this is ECW! (B-)

Continuing the Teddy Long booking, Sabu and Taz face off against Douglas and Mustapha Saed. Douglas is not particularly eager to risk himself in this match, and Mustapha is clearly the weak link in the match, eventually getting picked apart by the ECW faithful.

-Match: ECHO v. Ludwig von Koopa
Ludwig pokes ECHO in the eye and keeps on trollin'. ECHO then proceeds to beat the snot out of Ludwig, throwing in a chokeslam for good measure. Ludwig creates some space with an illegal Mechakoopa or three. ECHO eventually finds a way around them, and rolls Ludwig up, using the ropes because old habits die hard. 1...2..3! We have somehow avenged Undertaker by rolling up Bowser's son! That and y'know he's gonna get taken out backstage soon anyway.
Winner: ECHO

-B.B. from Fate is backstage with Bryan. She gives her senpai a nice relaxing massage to get him ready! Of course, the massage is probably a little too relaxing, and Bryan stumbles out looking less than perfectly ready for a fight.

-Match: Daniel Bryan v. Ric Flair
The match immediately goes to the mat, and Bryan takes control until Flair escapes to the outside. Bryan follows outside, but Flair is able to stay one step ahead by matching wits against Bryan's speed advantage. The match goes back and forth for a while, and in and out of the ring. Flair almost puts Bryan away with a knee drop into a sucker punch into an eye gouge into a Figure Four, but Bryan finds the ropes. Bryan hits Flair with the Knee Plus while Flair argues with the ref....and another one! Flair's out! 1....2....3!
Winner: Bryan

-Aisha Clan Clan comes in the ring to celebrate with Bryan! Man he's getting all the waifus.

-Cena is not quite sure why @XIII_rocks gets to just waltz in and get a shot. Maybe it's because Cena's retained this title against half the roster already, maybe it's because Cueto thought he was somebody else, maybe it's just because he's from across the pond! Who knows? But Cena has always been a fighting champion, and the Champ! Is!....hit with falling rocks from the rafters in a "terrible" "accident!" XIII appears and puts the boots to him as the bell rings.

-B8WL Championship: Champion John Cena v. XIII_rocks
are you kidding game on the FIRST CARD OF THE MATCH XIII beats Cena out of the ring! He beats him into the crowd! XIII beats him with some rocks! XIII beats him with some socks! XIII beats him on the floor! XIII beats him with a car door! He beats him from a mount! He goes back to the ring and beats the count! And Cena doesn't. Title doesn't change hands on a countout, but XIII has made a daggum statement, leaving the champ laying.
Winner by countout but NOT the new champion: XIII

-Cena struggles to his feet and takes his belt back, but XIII is just grinning at him. PSYCHO CRUSHER on Cena! Bison out of nowhere, and Bang is right behind him with the UCA Title! They hold Cena up, and XIII slaps him. What is this dangerous new alliance?

(let me know if you don't wanna be tagged but I figured that might be nice to do for everybody)

-Scare is in the ring to welcome the UCA Champ, Bangladesh Dupree. Bang rambles for a while, bored since she doesn't have a match tonight. She delivers a long-winded and rambling promo about everything that comes into her head. Suddenly, sneaking up behind her with dog-like stealth, is Panthera! THE POUNCE! Panth gives us a good bark over the fallen champ.

- @Korayashi is here to remind us that mustaches are NOT beards, so Mario doesn't get a pass tonight.

-Mastery of Taybles: Champion Korayashi v. Mario
Kora shrugs off a series of blows and hits a slam instead. Mario retaliates with a flying hip drop. Mario sends Kora into the ropes with a standing dropkick, then onto the apron with a second. Running dropkick....sends Kora through a tayble! Man, Mario just took those shots and came right back!
Winner and NEW MoT: Mario

-Cueto is tired of dealing with Bowser's ego, and doesn't even know why David's here. Hopefully they bump each other off tonight, because he's tired of this feud.

-Hardcore Title: Champion Bowser v. @davidponte
David comes loaded for BEAR, grabbing a monitor from the announcers and whacking Bowser with it on the outside. Quick appeal to the crowd, and then a splash from the apron. Bowser yells at the fans to shut up as he struggles to his feet- unfortunately he doesn't notice that David is sneaking up on him with a plate of glass. Glass doesn't do a ton to his shell, but still, man! Bowser shakes it off and just powers david down to the concrete floor, following up with a splash of his own. David's gonna be feeling that one! Bowser throws a gas can at him, but thankfully the gas doesn't spill. Bowser looks for more plunder....and pulls out TAFKA CPU's old car door! He menaces with it....but David Van Daminators him with it! Bowser stumbles backwards and falls over the steel steps! Bowser's gonna be feeling that one! They're both kinda out of it now! David with a knee drop to Bowser's head, still on the arena floor. Bowser gets a little claw swipe in. Wait a second....here comes the MLMF! @Eddv and Truth beatdown David, brawling him into the crowd! It's all legal under hardcore rules, but this match can't really continue! Has Bowser joined MLMF?
NO CONTEST

-Later tonight, a rabid Undertaker fan would assault Bowser outside the arena. Bowser will be out for a few months.

-Eaed gives a heartfelt promo about Maniac's betrayal and the EXPLOSION of the Randomaniacs, but the King cuts him off mid-sentence with a flamboyant entrance.

-Match: @eaedwards6400 w/Time Cops v. King @Maniac64
Maniac is not having it with this guy, and lays into Eaed with power offense right off the bat. He's got him dead to rights in an armbreaker, but has a moment of compassion, and lets him go...which is a mistake, as Eaed is then able to rally back with an inspired combination of strikes. Eaed tackles Maniac to the outside, and both men take a while to come back. Maniac gets the initiative back, and taunts Eaed after landing a couple of moves. Towering flapjack! Maniac has Eaed, but breaks off the cover. Nightwing slides in the ring, and demands to take over as ref! The Time Cops argue, but Nightwing isn't having it. Maniac hits an Implant DDT in the confusion...1....2....3! Nightwing shakes Maniac's hand.
Winner: Maniac

-Ludwig von Koopa comes out and riles up the crowd, mocking the Undertaker and wearing an MLMF shirt.

Not going to lie, I like the idea of the pyramid battle royale from TMW, but that has the same issue as EC in I have *no* idea how that'd work

I think it'd be easier to pull off than EC actually- we have pretty robust fanmade battle royal rules, so just add the tier system on and we're set.

IhatethisCPU posted...

...And honestly we probably need a larger 'permanent' roster if Feast or Fired and Exile are gonna be in the rotation, especially with our already sizable injury and employment rate issues.

Possibly! Part of the reason they're in the rotation in the first place is to keep the roster from getting too stale and to give me more excuses to start working through the waiting list....although that hasn't been a huge problem so far I suppose. Personal taste thing maybe? Anybody have opinions?

the G1 Climax and Bound for RNG have the have number of employees problem

Yeah it would be a small league (like a 5-man would be pretty easy) which would be weird but maybe okay in its own right? Maybe not?

Okay so I am thinking I'd like to have a regular PPV schedule instead of rolling for it every cycle. Know what's coming up and have time to book bigger tournaments, guarantee we get to all my gimmicks eventually, have more a sense of the passage of time long-term, all that stuff. I kinda like the rhythm of 2 TV shows and then a PPV, so I think we'll keep that. Was considering adding a TV but that might get a bit draggy for those cycles where you have multiple established feuds ahead of time. I think what we'll do is go 45-show "seasons" (I wanted a round number but the math didn't cooperate) of 15 cycles, which dovetails nicely with where we are right now- I'll do a Rumble and a Mania, probably, and then it'll be "Season 2."

INPUT OPPORTUNITY/TL;DR
All that to say, I have here a list of 15 PPVs, and now would be a fantastic time to offer input if you have opinions on any of these or others. It is a lot of tournaments but I <3 tournaments so y'all can deal :P This isn't the order- once the list is finalized I'll put them in an order that makes some sort of sense (ie, space out similar things, end with Rumble>Mania, that kinda thing)

Royal Rumble (wouldn't have more than a couple matches on the card outside of that)
PLAAYMania (big show at the end, no gimmicks except maybe a "get everybody on the card" battle royal)
Lethal Lottery (2v2 tournament with random teams)
King of the Ring (regular ol' tournament)
Survivor Series (probably 1 5v5 match)
Feast or Fired (Lockbox challenge with a title shot, a pink slip, and other prizes)
Exile (If you challenge for a belt and lose, you're fired)
Bound for RNG (round-robin series...with not many people)
Torneo Cibernetico (Survivor Series on steroids and the winners fight each other)
Extreme Rules (all matches are at least Hardcore)
Elimination Chamber (not sure how well EC will work but I can try)
Triangle Trouble (all triple threats)
Cyber Sunday (you get to vote on stuff)
King of Trios (3v3 tournament with guest teams)
Tag World Grand Prix (2v2 tournament with guest teams)

Other ideas that currently haven't made the cut: A battle royal that's NOT a Rumble, more no-gimmick PPVs, that large team league thing CHIKARA does, "cross-promotion" PPVs with other feds, G-1 Climax, Night of Champions, a show where alumni can come back, the pyramid battle royal from Tiger Mask W

I would like to but I don't think they'd work well with this system: Ultimatum, MitB

-The freshly face-turned Bryan is teaming up with former enemy Cena to take on Flair and a mystery partner...but who could it be? Flair comes out alone, and talks about how he's brought in somebody who is best known for his work in another fed. Somebody who's a real student of the game. Somebody who has proven himself both in the ring and in upper management. Cena cuts him off and tells him to just bring HHH out already. Cena's beaten him enough times that Flair's little mind games aren't gonna change anything! And that's about the point where Cena gets clobbered from behind by a sack full of rocks! 13 of them, to be precise, because @XIII_rocks is the mystery partner!

-Match: B8WL Champion Cena and Bryan v. Flair and XIII
Cena immediately hulks up and beats the snot out of Flair. Bryan tags in and gets the Yes Lock for a near submission, but Flair makes it over to tag XIII. Bryan rolls out and YESses up. XIII charges, but falls prey to the dreaded SMALL PACKAGE. 1....2....3!
Winners: Bryan and Cena

-Cueto comes out to put XIII over as a great acquisition and the preceding match as a masterpiece. He may have fallen victim to the dreaded New Guy RNG, but we'll see great things from him in the future once he gets to actually wrestle!

-Eddv comes out with a mic to announce that MLMF is alive and well, even if Kora hecked off, even if ECHO got all soft, even if it's just him and Truth (and Caelus)! He launches into a rally of sorts, but is cut off by Strife's entrance music, to his chagrin.

-Match: Strife v. Eddv
This one's quite a brawl, with Strife seeming to enjoy the opportunity to avenge Sonic without having to coordinate with Mario, and giving his tweener side some freedom. A fan even gets in on the action, bonking Eddv with a chair as they brawl around ringside. Eddv retaliates by spitting beer in Strife's face. The fight continues, more so a brawl than a match, and that's not really how you wanna try to deal with Strife. Eddv shows some ability to hang, but Strife has a lot of steam to blow off, and Eddv winds up going down to a Buckle Bomb.
Winner: Strife

-Mario comes out to shake Strife's hand. They may not be great partners, or even particularly friends, but he's proud to have him by his side to bring MLMF down a peg! He's gonna follow that momentum right now.

-Truth enters with a rap about how much the Sonic movie is gonna suck.

-Match: Mario v. Truth
...Wait a sec, that masked ref looks suspiciously like Eddv! We're doing this angle twice in one show? Maybe Truth will at least benefit from the big mechanical advantage. ...lol no, Truth hits his spinny tackle thing, but then Mario DDTs him, critical hitting so hard that even Eddv is forced to count three. Dude's out like a lightbulb.
Winner: Mario

-Truth doesn't know where he is when he wakes up, but he knows he's mad about it.

-Non (Hardcore) Title: Champion Bowser v. ECHO
It looks like the fans haven't really forgiven Bowser for the Undertaker incident, as his music is inaudible over his heat. Bowser soaks it in, maaaan, as ECHO just waits, their gas mask unreadable. Bowser goes on the offensive, hitting a lot of power offense on ECHO, but....ECHO just keeps tanking it and coming back for more. ECHO gets fired up and knocks Bowser all the way to ringside with a series of flashy strikes! They have Bowser on the run....Ludvig appears from under the ring, and tackles ECHO into the crowd! ECHO fights back, but as a result doesn't make the 20 count!
Winner by countout: Bowser

-Vampiro shows up (didn't Taker Tombstone him early on? continuity!) to escort Bowser to the back, reminding us that he loves violence, especially against Taker.

Show #38

-We open up with david in the ring in a hastily put together set, and a microphone in his hand. He greets the audience with a wave and a look of solemness on his face, as he informs the crowd of the aftermath of Show 37 and The Undertaker's medicinally required retirement, and introduces his guest for the current segment, ECHO.

The mechnical creature looks.... dejected... as they come out to the ring and sits in the seat across from david, like they're musing something over, before looking up and trying to do the interview as planned, with david pressing for a comment on the future of MLMF. This goes on for a few minutes, and the segment is an awkward mess for a few minutes, as ECHO has clearly forgotten how the interview was supposed to go. Then there's a pause, the two in the ring glance at each other, and adjust on the fly, switching topics from getting an explanation of ECHO's plan to get rid of Cueto as the head booker- to a heartfelt discussion of what 'Taker meant to the locker room and to the wrestling industry as a whole. ECHO recounts how Taker professionally handled transferring his gimmick to them, and david appreciates the rub he was willing to give him.

ECHO then turns to the topic of the turtle that ended the Dead Man's career. They don't blame Bowser for the Undertaker's injury, it was an accident that could've happened in any match, especially in *this* wrestling federation. They don't fault him for his actions after the match and backstage. They *do*, however, fault him for injuring people *twice* in three shows. They dismiss Zangief's part in eaed's injury because it's Zangief and that's to be expected, but they expect better of the King of the Koopas, noting how the children in the arenas they've been to appearing to really like and look up to him (for lack of better role models in this hellhole), and that he needs to serve as a *positive* example, and will assist him with that with beating that example into him. They challenges the King to a match later in the night, and, finally noticing the assistant screaming that they've gone over time, hands the mic back to david. As david does his part, they finally realize how sweaty they've gotten with the gas mask on, and removes it, taking a breath, and emptying the gas mask briefly revealing : https://i.pinimg.com/564x/b6/ae/93/b6ae932dd5d866e89c5ed2132cf9cfe8.jpg underneath, before starting, panicking, and melting into a puddle of circuitry and fleeing the area, as david ignores what's happening and ends the segment on his own.

@MajinZidane comes out for a UCA Title shot! He cuts a short promo, thanking Cueto for the opportunity, while Bang runs the ropes out of boredom...Bang "accidentally" runs into Boko, knocking him down! The champ puts the boots to him as the bell rings.

-UCA Title: Champion Bangladesh DuPree v. @MajinZidane
Panthera comes running out in ref stripes- looks like he's in charge here! He and Bison haven't been getting along, so that might be bad news for Bang. Bison quibbles with Panth while Bang gets in more cheap shots of dubious legality. Bang eventually decides to let up and ALSO quibble with Panth, and Boko gets up and suplexes her! Bang ducks a clothesline, but Boko gets her with the second one. Bang cuts off the challenger's momentum with a thumb to the eye and a kick to the gut, but Boko just tackles her. Bang slips in a quick choke as they get up, but Boko just suplexes her again. Bang comes back with an elbow shot, but fails to lift Boko for a slam....until she softens Boko up with a low blow. She gives him the ol' ground and pound for a bit...cover! 1...2....3! Panth made zero difference!
Winner and STILL champ: Bang

-Louis Armstrong (the FMA) is at ringside, and attempts to cheer Boko up with some flexing. It has been passed down for generations.

<b>Hardcore TV</b>
WK. 1, 5/96

Alfonso finds Stevie backstage, and mocks him for coming up short against Douglas. It's too bad the ECW faithful didn't have his back! Oh, and if he has a problem with it, he can take it up with the Steiners, because he's fighting them RIGHT NOW. (D+) The Steiner Brothers are back in ECW, and they're set to make a statement against the apparently surprise pairing of Sabu and Stevie. Sabu looks as surprised as Stevie, and Windham is at ringside to offer his usual "helpful" advice to the faces. All that adds up to a rather decisive win for the returning Steiners. (C+) Francine and the Pitbulls watch backstage. (D)

Chavo tries to hit on Beulah, and gets a slap for his trouble. (C) The Hardy Boyz' momentum continues with a win over Bad Crew. (D-) Big and Strong come out after the match, and mock the two "little flippy boys!" (C-) The dream team of Scorpio, Cactus, and Taz takes on the Network in the main event. Douglas gets the pin after Alfonso sneak attacks Scorpio. (C-)

Overall: C- SUCCESS

Wait to debut! as luck would have it a spot just opened up so you'll get that one instead of Hollywood Hogan

and let me know if there's anything funky you want for your character otherwise I'm just gonna play you like...you :P

Other than that it's mostly just observing although sometimes I'll ask for your input on your stories or other stuff

You can also nominate folks to the celebrity pool (for eventual cameos) every PPV cycle- it changes with demand but this time it's four.
