The Wrath of Tommy Cornell [Archive]

What happened?

Everything was going so well. I was happy. But, then again, happiness can never last. Those damn Eisens. They stole the damn company out from under my feet. I mean, who else would have. It’s theirs now. But how?

It came out of nowhere. I remember the headlines. “Corruption in the ranks of TCW!” Mafia links, secret payments. None of that **** happened. At least not to my knowledge. And now I’m nowhere. No company, just the money I’ve saved over the years, given its still a pretty penny’s worth. But no company. Bought out by the Eisens.

All the evidence pointed to me, but I didn’t do it. Who the hell knows who did. Someone ****ing set me up, and I’m gonna find out who. They let go the whole company. Everyone. I mean, I know some will find jobs. Who knows, maybe the Eisens will have a change of heart for some people. They’ll probably hire Sam and who knows else. But Rip won’t go. And I wont either. Since the breakup of the company we’ve become better friends. Best friends some might say. He hates the Eisens just as much as I do. And we’re gonna ruin them together.

Even though no one respects me anymore and I can’t start a new promotion for 10 years, I’m not just gonna sit here and take this **** like its nothing. If I cant start a company to ruin the Eisens then I can at least join a company that will. The question is: “What company can?”

A/N: Here’s what happens now. I’ve decided that every once in the while in the diary, I will give a poll to the readers. They will be able to vote on what should happen next. Usually I’ll give two or three choices to pick from but for this first question you can choose your own answer. If you cant figure out what the question is yet, I’ll give you a hint. Read the last sentence of the actual dynasty entry again. Still can’t figure it out. Then too bad. I’m also going to be posting this over at EWB so whichever choice gets the most votes all together will be what I pick. The deadlines for votes is gonna be either is approx. 24 hours or whenever I feel that there is a clear winner, whichever comes first.

A/N#2: I have done the following to a copy of the data( I ain’t gonna ruin the original data) in order to accomidate my backstory:

Deleted TCW
Added a best friend relationship between Cornell and Chord
Added a hatred relationship between Cornell and all of the Eisens
Added a hatred relationship between Chord and all of the Eisens
Brought Cornell’s respect down to 10 and his sprit down to 50 (he’s inspired to bring down the Eisens and clear his name)

That’s all for now. Be back within 24 hours. Feedback on the backstory would be appreciated greatly.

Brilliant Idea.

It sounds very interesting, You've got A reader in me..

Wow.. This REALLY looks nice!

EDIT: I select... DAVE. :)

Thanks for all the feedback. I just wanted to remind you guys to vote for the company that Tommy joins. I have my fave. picked out but I have ideas for every one you guys could say. Unless its like ROF. I wont accept that (sorry if that dissapoints anyone).

It’s been a rough morning. I’ve been trying to think about where I should be headed and I just can’t figure it out for certain. I mean, it’s a big decision. I have to be confident that whoever I go with will have the capability of rising up and overtaking the SWF. Not only that but I gotta clear my name. I can’t live the rest of my life being looked down upon for something I didn’t ****ing do. But of course, I will be. Unless I find out the truth.

I walked in to my agent’s office to go over some of the choices with him.

Roger(my agent): Hey there, ol’ buddy, ol’ pal.

Me: Cut the suck-up ****. I came here to have a conversation not to have my ass kissed.

Roger: OK. Straight down to business then. I’m guessing you came here to talk about what promotion to choose.

Me: You’d be guessing correctly.

Roger: Well, the obvious choice would be BHOTWG. I mean, it’s the only other global promotion and-

Me: No.

Roger: What?

Me: I said no.

Roger: But-

Me: No one there has the desire to become the best over here in the states. The couldn’t give a rat’s ass how big SWF is as long as they’re winning in Japan.

Roger: So, something like DAVE. Everyone knows Nemesis’ hatred for SWF.

Me: Yea. Maybe. I don’t know. I don’t know if they have the capability of overthrowing the SWF.

Roger: Um, How bout CGC with the DeColts or NOTBPW with the Stones.

Me: But could they get big over here.

Roger: Look, what do you want me to say? Make your own promotion.

Me: You know I can’t do that.

Roger: Find a loophole.

Me: What?

Roger: Look, I got a friend who’s a lawyer. You want me to give you his number.

Me: Sure, I might as well check it out. Better than all my other options right now.

He gave me a number on a scrap piece of paper. I thanked him and I left. I immediately took out my cell phone and called him.

Secretary: Hello, Mr. Robinson’s office, may I help you?

Me: May I speak to Mr. Robinson please?

Secretary: May I ask who’s calling.

Me: Tommy Cornell.

There was a long pause. I couldn’t tell if she’d hung up or not.

Me: Hello?

Secretary: I’m getting punked right.

Me: No. You’re not.

Secretary: oh my god. Oh My God! I used to watch TCW all the time. You were fantastic.

Me: Thank you.

Secretary: It’s a shame what happened. I mean with all of the mafia ties and secret payoff and-

Me: Could I PLEASE talk to Mr. Robinson.

Secretary: Um, sure. Just hold on one moment.

They have to bring it up. Every time. I get it everywhere I go. “You were so great.” “ It sucks that you cheated to stay on top.” It’s a must. I gotta hear it wherever I go. I gotta find a way to spread the truth.

Mr. Robinson: Hey, Tommy. May I call you that.

Me: Sure. Look, William-

Mr. Robinson: You can call me Bill.

Me: OK, Bill. Do you think you can find a way that I can start a promotion without breaking the contract I signed with the Eisens.

Bill: Sure. I mean, I can’t make any promises.

Me: Whatever. I just wanna try.

Bill: Sure. Come over when you get a chance. I’ll make room.

Me: I might just take you up on that. See you soon.

I hung up the phone. What if I could start a new promotion? What if I could start anew and rise up and overtake those damn Eisens? But maybe I’m just hoping too much. Maybe I should just join an existing promotion and not even go to the meeting. ****. I just wish I knew what to do.

------------------------------------------------------
Time to help Tommy Cornell

What should he do?
A.) Go meet with Bill and find a loophole in the contract (I guarantee there is one)
B.) Join BHOTWG
C.) Join DAVE
D.) Join NOTBPW
E.) Join CGC

When I have enough votes, I’ll continue. If I don’t get enough by tomorrow when I get home from school then I’ll choose which ever one I like best.

Choose D!

Cornell vs. McFly!

Mr T Jobs To Me

04-24-2005, 11:51 AM

I choose C, DAVE. Screw Canada!!!

Rygar Frost

04-24-2005, 12:14 PM

I decided that I was gonna post the convo w/ Bill so you guys know what I’m planning if A is chosen.
--------------------------

I walked into Bill’s office with an open mind. I mean, I doubted anything could come out of it but who knows. There’s always a chance.

Bill: Hey there, Have a seat.

I did as he said and made myself comfortable.

Me: So, did you find anything.

Bill: Well, kind of.

Me: What do you mean by that?

Bill: Look, you cant own a company or be the booker for a company, right.

Me: Yea, I know.

Bill: well, I know how the wrestling world works. There are sponsors and people with power backstage and all that kind of stuff.

Me: So….

Bill: So, what if you were to fund a company.

Me: Fund a company?

Bill: You find an owner and a booker that you trust and you give them money to set up the company. It gives you a bit of backstage power and will let you stay with a company that you own a piece of.

Me: But who would I hire as owner or booker.

Bill: Don’t ask me. That’s your problem.

Me: Well, thanks for the help.

Bill: No problem

Hmmmmmmmmmm, maybe that ain’t such a bad idea. But it could still fail miserably. I still gotta think about it.

-------------------------------
So that’s what would happen basically, as it’s the only way I can use Tommy as a wrestler. Id basically have a big promotion with no roster and build from there. So, could be interesting. But, it’s still up to the readers to decide what happens.

That Crazy Guy

04-24-2005, 12:42 PM

I still choose C!
But honestly dude, If you really want to go for your own promotion.. Do it.

Rygar Frost

04-24-2005, 12:46 PM

The thing w/ doing my own promoting is that Id start with no roster. And if I did that, and we didn't get any good people, then it would fail miserablly. I'd have to trust the AI to go and get good people when contracts expire and go and get good indie people. Though, if it were to fail, I could always get out of it. IDK. It's a hard decision. That's why I'm asking the public.

Oh and btw I do have a good idea of where this is going. I'm not doing this on the fly. well, not completly.

Rygar Frost

04-25-2005, 06:01 PM

I had finally decided. After thinking about it for a while I realized that I didn’t know who to start a promotion with. I needed somewhere that was already stable. And the only place that was actively against the Eisens and already stable is DAVE. I called Roger up right then and there and set up a meeting. I walked in feeling very confident.

Phil: Hey there Tommy. Sit.

Me: Sure

I did so.

Phil: Now, I think you would make a great addition to the roster.

Me: Thanks. So, how long do you want. A year, two years, what?

Phil: Listen, before I get your hopes up, we’ve decided not to sign you to a written contract.

Me: WHAT!

Phil: Listen, with everything that’s going on, we felt that it would be easier if we eased you back onto the big stage.

Me: So, what does that mean?

Phil: We have no idea how the crowd is gonna react to you.

Me: Meaning?

Phil: Meaning that if they don’t respond well to you then we don’t want to be liable for paying you to stay off screen.

Me: What the hell!? I thought-

Phil: You thought wrong! Now, I am offering you a very nice deal here ok? $1,600 an appearance as a main eventer. Take it or leave it.

This wasn’t supposed to happen. I was supposed to help take the lead of the company. I was supposed to lead these guys to the top and be behind them 100%.

Phil: Look, in a year we’ll reassess the situation, ok?

I didn’t say anything about it for a few minutes.

Me: Fine. Where do I sign?

I signed on the dotted line and left. Where was I now? I got a good offer but that’s not what I even usually get. And they have the ability to fire me if things go wrong. Maybe there’s good news ahead. Maybe…....My phone started ringing and I answered it.

Me: Hello?

???: Hey dude, it’s me.

Me: Rip? What’s happening?

Rip: I have a proposition for you.

Me: Shoot.

Rip: Strong’s starting a company.

Me: Are you serious.

Rip: Yep. And he’s calling it Last Resort Pro Wrestling.

Me: Hmmmmmm. Interesting title.

Rip: That’s not all. He hired me as Head Booker.

Me: That’s great.

Rip: He also gave me another job.

Me: Really? What’s that?

Rip: To hire you.

Me: Me? After all that happened towards the end of TCW

Rip: Hes gotten past that. He’s pretty sure that you didn’t do everything the media said you did and he REALLY wants you to join.

Me: I can’t.

Rip: And why the hell not.

Me: I just signed up with DAVE and I wanna see how it works.

Rip: So they already nabbed you with a written contract.

Me: No.

Rip: Then why cant you?

Me: Because I don’t wanna be in a written contract while in a verbal contract with DAVE.

Rip: Fine.

Me: Thanks for understand-

Rip: We’ll offer you $42,000 an appearance.

I was speechless. $42,000 an appearance?! That would pay the bills. Could I really reject this offer?

Me: Ummmmm, who else is on the roster?

Rip: No one yet. That’s my next job.

Me: Well, when you have enough people on your roster for your first show, then I’ll be there.

Rip: Thanks, dude. This means a lot to me.

Me: Wait, before you go. I wanna ask you something.

Rip: Sure.

Me: What’s Sam’s plan.

Rip: It’s pretty simple. To become the best.

Me: Then count me in.

Rip: I’ll be seeing you.

Me: Bye, dude.

I hung up the phone feeling satisfied. This could be the opportunity I needed. A debuting global corporation with Sam and Rip. That might just be able to beat the Eisens. This just might work.

Next up: Tommy’s first match since TCW

Rygar Frost

04-25-2005, 07:28 PM

June, Week 1, Monday

I talked to Jon, my trainer for the first time in a little while. We worked out for a while and then we did a match. As usual he was impressed but he did tell me something I wasn’t expecting. He said that I “didn’t have an easily accessible finishing move” Well, that could be fixed. I had been working on perfecting a new move I decided to call the “Bear Trap.” Basically it’s a crossface where instead of just pulling back on the face with my hands, I dig my nails into the opponents forehead. We’ll see how it works when I introduce it in the ring tomorrow.

June, Week 1, Tuesday

Tonight’s my first night on TV since TCW closed. I walked into the arena and fould out I would have an Interview followed by a tag match where I’d be teaming with Pablo Rodriguez. I went backstage and saw Shawn Gonzalez, one of my opponents in the tag match backstage. I went over and talked to him briefly. He seems like an ok guy. After finishing my conversation I walked out ready to warm up the crowd before the match officially got underway

A/N- For interviews, I’m gonna usually ignore the whole battle thing unless they win or unless I feel like having someone come out in the middle of it. This is just for future reference.

I walked out to a chorus of boos. Even though it was a smaller crowd then I usually worked for, I still could tell that they hated he. I got into the center of the ring before I said anything.

Me: Shut up!

The crowd died down.

Me: Haven’t changed at all, have you. Still judging before you see a damn thing. You know that inside you love me. You know you love hating me. And I want you to know that I didn’t come to DAVE for you people. No, no, no, no, no. I came here for me. To prove a point. To show the true me. The me who isn’t afraid of anything. The me who could do whatever the hell I want. The me who’s gonna rule this company with an iron fist. And I’m gonna start tonight, with that piece of crap Caulfield .

The crowd cheered at his name.

Me: Oh, shut up. He might be your beloved champion but he isn’t worth **** in my eyes. In fact, he seems to me like he’s just a waste of perfectly good sperm. Wanna prove me wrong? Then prove it tonight! That is, if you can.

I walked off to the boos of the crowd that I loved so much. I got backstage and got ready for my match, which was up next.

Tommy Cornell and Pablo Rodriguez vs. Shaun Gonzalez and Chris Caulfield

Shaun and I started out first. It was pretty even for the first few minutes. Id get a few moves in then he would. After he fell on top of me after a Shooter Takedown, he tagged out to Chris. He took the upper hand right off the bat and hit me with a flurry of punches before knocking me down. He kept beating on me for a while until I fought back and hit a Hammerlock followed by a Rear Amateur Takedown and tagged out to Pablo. I stopped paying attention for a few minutes as I caught my breath. I was brought back into the action when I heard the crack of a chair as Pablo DDT’d Chris onto a chair. He rolled him back in and went for a Seated Back Dropkick but Chris avoided it and tagged out. Pablo avoided a Dropkick and tagged me in. It stayed balanced again until I hit a Face-First Suplex followed by some Rear Crossface Blows. I tried to pick him up but he fought back and tagged out again. After a while Pablo got bored I guess and hit a stiff Tornado DDT and got the win after 20 minutes and I was livid.

I went up to Pablo after the match and started screaming at him.

Me: Do you not understand how important that match was to me. That was my RETURN match. And because you decided to end it early, it was horrible.

Pablo: Look, sorry man. I shouldn’t have done what I did. OK?

Me: Fine. Sorry for overreacting. Just don’t do it again.

Pablo: Scout’s honor.

Well a horrible match to start out with. But at least the day wasn’t a complete failure. People liked the interview it seems. And even though I wanted to pin Caulfied, there will always be another fight.

I went home to sleep after that. I thought it be a simple week. LRPW didn’t have enough people to start a show yet. Little did I know I would be receiving a “visitor” midway through the week who would stir up some excitement.

Really great read, man! :D
I look forward to seeing how LRPW develops and what kind of roster they pull together.
And I loved the interview!

04-25-2005, 08:51 PM

The phone rang at 2:30 am on Thursday. I wasn’t expecting it. I mean, I don’t get many calls anymore, especially at 2:30 in the morning. I answered woozily.

Me: Hello?

???: Don’t hang up the phone.

Me: Who is this?

???: Listen to what I have to say. Get out of the business.

Me: What?

???: Quit the business if you want to live.

Me: That’s it. I’m calling the cops.

???: Don’t call the cops. It’ll just tip ‘em off faster.

Me: What the hell are you talking about?

???: You ever think that your company collapsing wasn’t so that some one else would get but so that you would fail?

I didn’t talk for a few seconds. I couldn’t. The frame up was to ruin me?

Me: But, who would do that? And how would you know-

There was a click at the other end of the machine. I guess he thought he said to much. I wonder who he was?
------------------------------------

Should Tommy:
A.) *69 his ass
B.) Ignore it as a threat
C.) Quit the business(this is not a real choice)

You pick. I write. Votes gotta be in by about 16 hours from this post.

*69!

04-26-2005, 01:17 PM

this is realy good! you have a reader out of me

Rygar Frost

04-26-2005, 02:52 PM

I immediately *69 him to see where he was calling from. I didn’t need to call back. I knew the number. But I dialed to make sure. At 2:30 in the morning, I knew there would be no answer, especially on a Thursday night. But I still got the answering machine. The message I used to know so well.

Message: Hi, you have reached the offices of the SWF. If you need to leave a message, leave your name and number and we’ll try to get back to you.

I hung up. I didn’t need anything else.

What the hell did this mean? And who from the SWF would want to warn me. Especially after all they think I’ve done over there. Unless. What if someone knows the truth? About what happened? About who set me up?

For the rest of the week I sat at home ant thought about it non-stop. How could someone know? Were they told? Were they the ones to set me up? Or is someone just trying to scare me? It was on my mind all the way up until Tuesday.

I found out that I would be in the main event facing Henry Lee. But first I had an interview. I sat in a corner and thought about what I was gonna say. I mean, this is the main event. I have to hype it accordingly. Then the time came and I walked out to another chorus of boos. Oh, how I love them. You see, when I get booed, it means that I’m doing my job. I walked into the center of the ring and started to speak.

Me: Tonight, everyone here is gonna get a little present. You see, I’m in the main event. And I going to be beating……I mean, facing Henry Lee. But you see, he’s only the beginning. He’s a stepping stone on my path to making DAVE history By winning the DAVE Unified Title. Because after I prove myself tonight, I’m going to get Phil to let me face Chris Caulfield and take his title from his cold hands after I beat the everloving **** out of hi-

All of the sudden, Chris Caulfield’s music came on and he walked out.

Chris: You think you can just come out here and bad mouth me? Say how bad of a champion I am? You see, that’s not the way things are done around here. We fight to prove our worth. We don’t just hide behind words.

Me: Well, at least I can back up my words, unlike your sorry ass.

Chris: You think you so high and mighty just because your Tommy Cornell. Well, I’m sorry to be the first to inform you, Tommy, but you’re a hasbeen. Nothing else.

Me: We’ll see who’s the hasbeen when I kick your ass.

Chris: I’d like to see you try.

Me: Believe me, I would to.

I stood in the ring and got in a fighting pose and Caulfield started running up the ramp but before we could start fighting, Phil Vibert came out.

Phil: Woah there. I can’t have chaos on my show. You both have scheduled matches for tonight and I don’t wanna see a ****ty match just because you two decided to waste your energy. You want to fight. Fine. But it’ll be under my rules. I decide when and where. So get your asses backstage and wait until it’s your match.

I quickly slid out of the ropes and started walking backstage, all the while hurling insults at Chris.

After I got backstage I relaxed for a while. I guess I should talk to creative tomorrow about starting a feud officially with Chris. I sat there and watched a few of the other matches until it was my time to shine.

Tommy Cornell vs Henry Lee

The match was pretty good overall. I’d rate it about a B-. Could be betty but its exceptable. I basically wanted to use it as a way to introduce the new Bear Trap finisher. The match started off basically enough. Lee and I were basically exchanging pretty basic moves. We started doing harder and harder moves until he went to pick me up for a Samoan Drop but I grabbed his arm, threw him down, and locked in the Bear Trap. I dug in so hard that I caused blood. After a few seconds, he couldn’t endure the pain and tapped out at 22:00.

I pulled him aside when he got backstage and apologized for causing the blood but he seemed happy for it. He said that he thought it increased the quality of the match. After we finished talking, I grabbed my stuff and went back to my place to get a good night’s rest.

The next morning, I called Roger and set up a meeting with Phil and Chris.

Phil: Look, I think all of us know that this meeting is basically a technicality. After what happened yesterday we have to deliver or else the fans will revolt.

Chris: Yea, dude. This is what the people want. Hell, it’s what I want. It’s been a dream of mine to have the opportunity to face you.

Me: Well, look, you’re a talented wrestler and I can tell you right now that if we take this feud the right way, it could be one of the best that DAVE has ever seen.

Chris: Well, then, let’s make it that.

Phil: Then it’s settled. You guys are gonna feud.

I left the office feeling really satisfied. In all the excitement I had completely forgotten about the phone call. Well, I should focus on the present now. I’ll worry about that stuff later. Right now I gotta focus on becoming a mainstay in DAVE. That’s the only way I’m gonna be able to take it to the height its gonna need to be at to even try to take on the Eisens.

Rygar Frost

04-26-2005, 05:26 PM

Nothing much happened within the next week. LRPW still had absolutely no roster so the show was cancelled again. I watched some old TCW tapes. Nothing more than my regular schedule.

When I got to the arena I found out I’d be doing an interview followed by my first singles match with Chris Caulfield. I got ready for my interview and, when the time came, I walked out to even more boos then last time. That’s always a good thing.

Me: You know, there comes a time when you want something so bad that you don’t even have words to describe it. That’s why I’m calling out Chris Caulfield right now.

Chris walked out to the delight of the crowd. He started to walk down the ramp.

Me: No, Chris. Stay right there. I just wanna picture this moment. Smile for the cameras. Cause it’ll be the last time you do that with that title. ‘Cause you see, not only is our match tonight going to be for that title right there, but its going to be a very special kind of match. A kind when two men will step in this ring and fight until something happens. One of ‘em goes though a table.

Chris: You want a tables match? Fine. You got one. In fact its my pleasure to grant you one. Cause, believe me, itll be my pleasure when I drive you through one of those tables so hard that you ain’t gonna get back up.

Before I could say anything else, Chris ran down the ramp and the bell rung.

DAVE Unified Title
Tables Match
Tommy Cornell vs. Chris Caulfield

This was a squash match for the first ten minutes but turned out to be a pretty damn good match. At first, I had complete control. I threw him to the outside after a while and that’s when he started to make a comeback He was doing some pretty good damage for a while but then I reversed a Drop Toe Hold attempt into a Bear Trap. He started to tap but it’s a table match so it doesn’t do a dam thing. After about a minute of that I let go. After a while I drag him back in but he nails a DDT out of absolutely nowhere and makes me bleed. He beats on me for a while until I gain control with another Bear Trap. I throw him out of the ring and try a Nuclear Warhead Plancha but he avoids it and starts beating me again until I reverse a Implant DDT attempt for a THIRD Bear Trap, during which I dig my fingers into his forehead hard enough to make him bleed. I then go back in the ring and nail the Nuclear Warhead Plancha. I then wait for him to stand and nail the Rough Ride. I throw him back into the ring and we reversed each others moves for a while and then he got dizzy from the blood loss and I put him on a table, climbed to the top of the turnbuckles and delivered a Senton Bomb through the table at 41:00.

After the ref picked me up and handed me the title I smiled through the blood. I had just put on a damn good match and I had won the title. I was on my way to taking this company by storm.

Tuesday, Week 4, June

The LRPW show got cancelled again. If they don’t try and grab some talent soon, there’ll be no talent to grab. But at least they got one new member of the roster. Julian Watson. He’s been doing a lot of work over in Japan. We’ll see what happens when he gets over here.

Anyway, Tuesday has come around again and time for another appearance on Danger Zone TV. I walked in and found out that I didn’t have a match. That was definitely a surprise. I mean, I’m the new champion. Well, they probably want me to rest up. I mean this weekend is the big double header. I’m probably gonna have to defend the title twice. Not that there’s a problem with that. Well, there’s no reason to stay here. I walked out of the arena and went to the gym and worked out for a while. When I was done I packed up and went home.

Sunday, Week 4, June
LRPW made some more signings. They signed a referee by the name of Clarence Garcia and an OK wrestler named Henry Bennett. They really aren’t impressing me with the people they’re hiring. Well, we shall see what comes of it.

Well, today’s the first day of the Extreme Double Header and I’m in the main event with Henry Lee again but first I got an interview. I walked out to more boos than usual. This makes me utterly happy. The boos feed my passion. I got into the ring.

Me: I’m not bothered by your boos. You see, I’m the champ now. I’ve earned this title. And as much as you may hate it, your gonna have to live with it. Now, supposedly Chris Caulfield wants another shot to win the title back. Well, let me tell you something Chris. It Ain’t Gonna Happen! No matter how much you ***** about it to the world, it ain’t gonna help. I won fair and square. I choose my matches now and theres not a damn thing you can do about it.

All of the sudden, Phil Vibert comes out from backstage.

Phil: I’m sorry to tell you this Tommy, but you’re wrong.

Me: What do you mean by that?

Phil: You see, Chris asked a while ago that if he were to lose the title, that he could have a rematch whenever and wherever, and I granted it.

Me: What!? Why the hell did you do that?

Phil: What position are you in to question my authority?

Me: I’m the goddamm United title holder.

Phil: And I can strip that from you faster than Michael Jackson can strip little boys.

The audience laughed.

Me: Fine. So I guess I face him tonight.

Phil: No. You face him when he decides to face you.

Me: And when’s that gonna be?

Phil: Hell, if I know? But you have more important matters at hand. Like your TABLE match with Henry Lee

The audience cheered at the idea of another table match.

Phil: Oh, and it starts right about…….now!

DAVE Unified Title
Table Match
Tommy Cornell vs. Henry Lee

This was a pretty even bout for most of it. It fell to the outside fairly fast where things got pretty rough. Lee had a few minutes where he was in complete control before I reversed a Ring Apron Ram into the dreaded Bear Trap. I went back into the ring and nailed the Nuclear Warhead Plancha. I then waited for him to stand to hit the Rough Ride but he avoided it. He rolled me back into the ring and went for a Chop Block but I dodged it and locked in the Guilt Trip. We battled it out for a while longer. I go for a DDT through the table but all of the sudden Caulfield comes out and hits me with a chair. Then Lee hits a DDT and wins the damn title at 24:00. I looked up and saw Chris smiling as the ref tried to help me up. That’s the last thing I remember before I passed out from the loss of blood.

Monday, Week 1, July
I woke up in a hospital bed. I felt my head and felt the bandage. The guy did a pretty good job with the stitches. I was told I’d be let of the card for Monday and, if I was up for it, I’d be back for Tuesday. As much as I think that I could go on tonight, it’s better safe than sorry. I mean, if I go tonight and get reinjured then I’m screwed for a while. Yea, definitely better to keep it safe. The nurse came in with a bouquet of flowers around midday. I didn’t quite understand it. Who would leave me flowers?

Me: Do you know who sent these?

Nurse: No idea, sir. They left it at the front desk with this.

The nurse gave me a video tape and a card. The card read “What did I tell you? Watch the tape.”

This can’t be an attempt to get me out of the business! It’s just a minor scratch. From falling through a table. That split clean in half…………Was there something on that table?

I slipped in the tape to the VCR I had set up. A man with a gray hooded sweatshirt came on screen. I couldn’t make out his face.

???: If you’re gonna stay in the business, you gotta learn to watch out. I still recommend you quit, but if you wont do that you cant fall for these tricks. There were blades in that table. You were set to break it. Don’t you understand? You are extremely lucky that you still have a goddamn face, understand me? Now, here’s what I recommend you do if you wanna get out of this situation alive. Quit DAVE. ASAP. There are people there who want you to fail, to die if needed. You may ask why but this go way beyond DAVE. You were not supposed to come back from the fall of TCW. But you did. Now, what I recommend you do is take a month or two off, help LRPW build its roster around people you KNOW you can trust. Screen them, do whatever, I don’t care. Make sure they won’t stab you in the back at the first chance they get. Then what you do is you take that promotion and do what you want with it. I will tell you one thing. I guarantee you that not all of the Eisens had a part in this. I can’t vouch for them all but I know that if one of them did this, it was behind everyone’s back. I have to get going. I’ll stay in contact. Watch out.

Then there was static. What the hell was that all about? How does he know the Eisens all didn’t have to do with this? But he does have a point. There had to be something wrong with that table for me to have multiple cuts. And he seems sincere. But what if he’s not? What if I quit DAVE and I’m ruined? Then again, if he is right if I stay in DAVE, I could be dead soon……..

----------------------------------------
What should Tommy do?
A.) Quit DAVE and take a few months off and build up the roster of LRPW.
B.) Stay in DAVE and risk it.

Deadline for votes is in aprox. 15 hours. I might extend it. I’m not sure yet.

04-26-2005, 09:49 PM

B) Stay in DAVE and risk it.

It's just the right thing to do, Considering how long it'll take for the roster of LRPW to build. Plus, This "Dead Or Alive" DAVE thing is awesomely cool.

Rygar Frost

04-26-2005, 10:01 PM

Let me say that if I were to do A, I would basically edit around the database to make a federation of my liking. I'm not saying there wouldn't be any danger there but, who knows. There are two reasons I'm doing this
A.) To keep the diary interactive
B.) Cause LRPW is picking crappy wrestlers without me.

Mr T Jobs To Me

04-26-2005, 11:54 PM

Stay in DAVE and get the Title off Henry Lee, for cryin out loud.

XellenceOfXecution

04-27-2005, 12:26 AM

I say stay in DAVE and risk it.
Personally, I'd like to see what kind of a roster LRPW can come up with without fiddling with the database. Give it time, man, give it time! :D
And get that damn title back from Henry Lee!

Rygar Frost

04-27-2005, 03:01 PM

I thought about this rationally. I’m a man who can easily handle myself. And the only true fact I have about this whole thing is that someone in DAVE is out to get me. But who? Caulfield? I doubt it. He interfered in the match to continue our feud. It wasn’t anything personal. Lee? I mean he can be an ass at times but I don’t think he would wanna off me. The only way that I could get to the bottom of this is if I were to stay and fight. If I left, not only would I never find out the truth, but I’d be partaken as a coward. I can’t have that. I called Phil and told him I’d be there tomorrow, ready and willing to prove myself. But first, I had to rest.

Tuesday, Week 1, July

I was opening up the show with an interview and ending the show with a match. I was quickly told what the match would be before I was rushed out from backstage for the interview. I walked out to the chants of the crowd screaming “You suck” or “You lost” and a cascade of boos. I walked out to the center of the ring.

Me: I ain’t gonna stand for this ****. My title was stripped out of my hands when you all know I rightfully should have won it. And its all because of that ******* Caulfield.

The crowd cheered at his name

Me: Caulfield, if you have any guts then get the **** out here RIGHT NOW.

Caulfield’s music came on as he walked down the ramp to the cheers of the fans. He got into the ring and got right up in my face.

Chris: So you lost the title. What you gonna do about it?

Me: This.

I took a pipe that was hidden in my shirt and clocked him over the head with it. He fell and I jumped on him and just kept pounding at his face. Then I grabbed the mic.

Me: I want you to look up. Up to the top of the ring. You may have noticed that structure there. That is a cage! And that’s what we are going to be fighting in tonight. What I like to call a “Redemption Cage Match.” What I mean by that is, when I kick your ass all over that cell until you don’t have the ability to stand anymore, then maybe I’ll feel a little redeemed. Until then…

I hit him in the face with the mic again as I got up.

Me: This’ll just have to be enough.

I started to walk backstage when I heard the fans starting to cheer. I turned around and saw that Caulfield was up and screaming at me to “bring it on.” I just smiled and went backstage to prepare for the match. When the time came I walked out. Tonight would be a cage match to remember.

Redemption Cage Match
Tommy Cornell vs. Chris Caulfield

This match started with me just laying into Caulfield. He got a few moves in but I just kept pummeling him with move after move. I threw him into the cage wall a few times and then threw him into the corner and hit a Hung Jury, followed by a Corkscrew Legdrop. After that, things started to even out a bit. We started to trade control of the match more often. After a while when he was in control, I reversed a Kneeling Jaw Breaker into a Bear Trap. Then, I picked him up and went for a Twisting Elbow Blow but he hit me with a Running Clothesline before I could. He then picked me up and went for an Implant DDT but I reversed it into another Bear Trap, which made him bleed. I then picked him up and locked in the Guilt Trip. I went to choke him but he blocked it and got up so I threw him into the cage wall again. I then waited for him to stand, hit him with a Back Kick followed by the Rough Ride. I then went for a Senton Bomb off of the turnbuckles but he moved out of the way and I landed on my neck. He started to climb the cage. I finally got up and noticed it and, as he reached the top, I dropkicked the cage, sending him back down to the ring. He rushed to his feet and tried to get a Piledriver but I reversed it into a third Bear Trap. I had decided I had done enough damage and started to climb the cage, slowly but surely. I was reaching the top and was almost up and over when I felt the cage start to shake. I looked down and saw Caulfield right behind me. I got to the top of the cage but he did too. We started to trade blows and all of the sudden he grabs me and falls down to the ring, bringing me with him. I laid in the ring for a little while before I felt myself being pulled up. I saw his fist coming at me and I got out the way quickly and grabbed him and nailed not one, not two, but THREE Rolling German Suplexs. I then started to climb the cage again but he caught me at the top again. I slipped out of an Implant DDT attempt and threw him into the corner and nailed the Tornado DDT. I then climbed the turnbuckle and hit the Senton Bomb. I then picked him up and irish whipped him into the ropes and hit a Snap Overhead Belly to Belly on the rebound. I then waited for him to stand, kicked him in the gut, and nailed a second Rough Ride. I then slowly got back up and started to climb. I was sure I’d just won. I stood on the top of the cage and looked down and my opponent and saw something I didn’t believe. He was up and running towards the cage wall! All of the sudden the cage shook and I fell face first into the ring. He picked me up and went for a Kneeling Jaw Breaker but I amazingly found the energy to break it. I quickly threw him into the ropes and nailed a Throw Down Spinebuster. I then kicked him in the gut one more time and nailed a THIRD Rough Ride. I pick him up, knowing he isn’t done yet but he amazingly fights back and nails the Impact DDT. Then he started to climb the cage.

I saw him. He was slowly going up the cage inch by inch. I couldn’t let him get away. I slowly crawled to the turnbuckle. I grabbed the lowest one and started to pull myself up. I was finally standing on the turnbuckle watching him as he climbed towards the top. Then, I took all I had, and I jumped. When I reached him, I grabbed his leg and he came tumbling down with me. I was down for at least 20 seconds before I could possibly get up. I picked him up and brought him back down with a Powerbomb. I then locked on the STF. Then I picked him up and went for another Bear Trap but he avoided it. He took control with a Kneeling Jaw Breaker. He went for an Implant DDT after a while and I reversed it into a FOURTH Bear Trap! I picked him up again but he nailed an Implant DDT out of absolutely nowhere. I fell to the ground, bleeding profusely. I looked up and saw him climbing the cage. I started climbing the cage after him. We both got to the top at the same time. We started trading punches until, out of nowhere he kicks me in the head. And that’s all I remember.

I was in an out of it for the next few days. I finally gained full consciousness on Friday and saw two pieces of paper on my nighttable. One read “Three New LRPW Signings: Floyd Goldworthy, Duane Fly, and Joshua Taylor. Sophie” and the other read “GCG wants a meeting. Call me when you fully understand this message. Roger”

GCG. They want a meeting. They wanna offer me a job. What the hell should I do? I had said I would stay with one promotion only. Well, I already broke that promise.
-----------------------

Should Tommy:
A.) Sign with GCG
B.) Refuse GCG’s offer.

I’m not gonna be doing any official updates for the next 48 hours. After this vote is over, I might do something pertaining to it, but I will not put up another real match until Friday.

XellenceOfXecution

04-27-2005, 08:47 PM

I think you ought to refuse the GCG offer.
Too much travel, and the DAVE stuff is starting to heat up.
Great cage match! :D

That Crazy Guy

04-27-2005, 09:54 PM

B.) Refuse it.
As XoX said, Your schedule is already busy enough!

Even though GCG is awesome, It'd be better if you just went smoothly with whatcha got.

Too much drama if you add more~!

Rygar Frost

05-02-2005, 04:49 PM

Sorry for the delay. That’s what happens when you live at two houses and are really really busy. Anyway, on to the update.

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

I called Roger and told him reject GCG. I already had enough on my plate. I really didn’t need any more. I rested over the next few days. I needed to be at my best for Tuesday. I could be facing anyone, even Caulfield again. But before I came to the ring I had to decide on an extra finisher. After what happened in that cage match, I realized that I need a stronger finishing move. I don’t want to be in that situation again.

After discussing it with Jon, we decided that the Tiger Danger Driver would be a gread addition to my “repertoire of moves.” I couldn’t decide on what to name it yet or what little additions to add to make it my own but I could modify all of that later. I just wanted it for my next match on Tuesday. When I got in there, I saw that it was the perfect opportunity to introduce the move. I would be in the main event against Shawn Gonzalez. But before that, I had an interview. I walked out to a crowd booing me. I walked into the ring ignoring them.

Me: Last week, an atrocity happened. I lost to Chris Caulfield. A man not even in my league. Hell, he doesn’t even play the same game as me. But yet, I lost. On a fluke. A GODDAMN FLUKE! I should have walked out of that cage match redeemed. Instead, I walked out humiliated. I don’t deserve to be humiliated.

All of the sudden, Caulfield’s music came on to the cheers of the fans. He walked out and started talking.

Chris: Awww, look at the little crybaby. Face-facts, you hasbeen, I’m the better man. Your moment in the sun is gone. Kaput. Forgotten. My star’s just risin-

Me: Do you know who you’re talking to?! I am a LIVING LEGEND! A GOD AMONG MEN! I don’t need to look up to you. I don’t need to respect you. Don’t you understand? I should have won that damn cage match! It was my time to shine. I’m better than you’ll ever be, no matter what you may think.

Chris: Well, I’m sorry to tell you but…..you’re not.

The crowd started cheering.

Me: SHUT THE **** UP! I don’t need your GODDAMN respect either. I am a legend. A ****ING LEGEND! And I WON’T settle for second best. No matter what it takes.

The show cut to commercial as I stayed out in the ring revving the fans up for the next match. Basically how much they suck and that I hate them, You know, the usual. Then we came back from commercial and the match starts.

Tommy Cornell vs. Shawn Gonzalez

This was an ok match. I didn’t debut the new move because, as I went out there, I didn’t feel like it was necessary. The match was definitally in my favor. Shawn had his moments, like giving me a Single Arm DDT through a table. It could have been better, but I was throwing some stiff punches. I was supposed to be angry, what can I say? Anyway, the audience ate it up. They were booing me like I was the most evil man alive. I ended the match with a Bear Trap in the middle of the ring. As I walked out of the arena, the crowd was booing crazily. Well, my job is done here. I got up and went home.

That night, I couldn’t sleep. I kept thinking about what I used to have. I kept running over in my mind the fact that I had been almost given HGC and turned it into my own company. I brought it up to compete with the big guys. The Eisens. Men who wouldn’t know good wrestling if it hit them in the face. I decided to get good wrestlers for my company. To make sure that I would entertain with not only good promos and storylines but with good matches. I guess the Eisens just always held a grudge against the fact that I was right and they were wrong. People like it when there are good matches to go with the storylines. Then, when I started winning the wars, they had to frame me. They had to take it all away, whether directly or indirectly. Well, no matter what, I WILL be on top again. Even if it costs me my life.

-----------------------------------
Anyway, I’m taking suggestions for the new name of the Tiger Danger Driver and little additions I could add. Just post ‘em and I’ll decide what I like.

Hardcore Rider sounds OK to me. Love the diary mate, I just read the whole thing from begining to end and loved every second of it. :D

Well, LRPW got some new signings. They’re slowly closing in on finally finishing the rosters. They stole a Ref from DAVE named Ryan Holland, also known as “The Extreme Ref.” We also got a female worker named Connie Morris and we got Farrah Hesketh as a manager. Who knows? Soon we might be able to have our first show. But it definitely isn’t going to be this week.

I spent the nights over the next week thinking about the future of LRPW. With the right wrestlers, LRPW could be just what I need. It could do just what TCW was ment to do. To be the best product available. With Rip booking and working and Sam doing matches once in a while, it could be a big product. It still needs more. I just don’t know exactly what.

I decided on the name for the Tiger Danger Driver. I renamed it to the Hardcore Rage. I also added a spin to it as I drive the opponents head to the match. I think it looks a little better.

I went to the arena on Tuesday and found out that I didn’t have a match. I sat backstage and watched the show. Nothing amazing happened. Henry Lee defeated Nemesis to retain the Unified title. After the show was over, I went home.

Later on in the week, I found out LRPW hired another referee by the name of Ray Johnson. I really hope they start getting workers soon. Otherwise, we’re never gonna get anywhere.

I went back to the arena on the last Tuesday of July. I found out that I would be in the main event facing, who else but Chris Caulfield. And, as always, I had an interview before that. I went out to the crown boos and got into the center of the ring.

Me: Caulfield, tonight is going to be a very special night. You see, tonight, there aren’t gonna be any games. We ain’t fighting in a cage. We ain’t throwing each other through tables. No, none of that. Tonight, there ain’t no gimmicks. It’s just two men walking into a ring and one walking out. This is to prove who’s the best. This is for me to show you what wrestling’s all about. And when you walk out of that ring, maybe you’ll know a little more about wrestling because, believe me, I’m gonna show you moves you’ve never even seen before. And then, you will see who the best really is.

I dropped the mic and walked to the back to prep for my match.

Tommy Cornell vs. Chris Caulfield

This match had a really nice pace to it. It was back and forth the whole time. It started out pretty simple but built into a huge brawl as it went to the outside. There were tables broken and chairs bent; the works. It went back into the ring after a while. I hit a Bear Trap and made Caulfield bleed, but I refused to let him tap. To make sure, I held his arm back as I hit it. He was screaming in pain. After I let him go, I picked him up and went for the Hardcore Rage but he reversed it into an Implant DDT onto a chair that was left in the ring that made me bleed. After some more brawling I dodged a punch, turned him around, and connected with the Guilt Trip. He refused to submit no matter how hard I put it on. I let go and went for the Hardcore Rage but he reversed it into another Implant DDT for the win.

He walked off with a smile on his face. I couldn’t let him have the last laugh. This is not over. I promise that.

Rygar Frost

05-22-2005, 08:46 PM

That’s right bitches, I’m back. I know it’s been a while but that’s where school and little mini-vacations get you. But I’m starting up again. So here goes.
----------------------------
I trained the rest of the week. I couldn’t let him win this feud. I was behind now but I wouldn’t be for long. Not if things went to plan. I keep trying to kill him in the ring. Well, it’s not about that any longer. Now it’s at the point where I can’t lose my next match with him. That’s why I have my secret weapon.

I got a call from Rip on Friday. They had made some more hirings. They got Marv Earnest on Play-by-Play, which could be good. Then they got Xander Summers, another referee. And finially, they got a valet by the name of Jennifer Heat. She seems to be ok. But they still don’t have any really good wresters, other than Sam, Rip, and I. I’m starting to get worried.

Tuesday rolled around again and I went into the arena excited as usual. The news that I got when I saw the card was even more exciting. There would be no more beating around the bush. I had another shot. A chance to redeem myself. A chance to regain what was rightfully mine. A shot at the Unified title. Well not exactly. I wasn’t on the card. But Lee was making an open challenge. And I was going to accept it.

Surprisingly, I did not have an interview beforehand. Lee had an interview and then I’d face off against him. He went out and did his thing. The crowd was fairly interested in him, especially after he made an open challenge. Then I walked out, and the expression in his face changed. You see, he had been purposely avoiding having a rematch with me. After all, he truly didn’t win the title fair and square. And now, I would win it back. I ran down to the ring and the fight started.

DAVE Unified Title
Henry Lee© vs Tommy Cornell
This was a very well done match. I took the advantage in the beginning, getting his stamina pretty low within the first 10 minutes. Then he started to make a comeback. Id hit a few moves here and there but he, slowly but surely, got me down to about the same level. We started to nail big moves in succession of each other. Out of absolutely nowhere, I avoided a low blow and grabbed him and nailed the Hardcore Rage onto a chair. I pinned him but he kicked out! He got up and avoided a Bear Trap and started to pummel me. I knew I couldn’t let him win. After he knocked me down one time and decided to wait for me to get up, I reached into my pants and pulled out the secret weapon I had in store for Caulfield. As I was getting up, I swung my fist and connected with Lee’s head. Lee fell to the floor and grabbed his head in pain. I quickly got up and locked in the Bear Trap which he submitted to.

I had done it. I was champion again. So I had to use some…..less than legal tactics. Whatever. I still won. And, it was no DQ so really, it doesn’t weigh on my soul at all. Not that it would if there were DQ’s. I was on top of the mountain again and no one could bring me down. At least that’s what I thought at that moment. I grabbed the belt and went to raise it above my head. At that moment, the gun went off.

Rygar Frost

05-23-2005, 06:47 PM

I flew back threw the ropes. The force of the blow had pushed me. I didn’t feel much pain though. It felt more as if I had been hat by a baseball bat in the chest. I looked to see how bad the wound was but, to my surprise, there was no wound. I had heard the shot. No one pushed me out of the way. Then what pushed me back. I then realized it. The title belt had something protruding from it. A bullet.

Chaos started to break in the arena. Mobs of people started to scream and run out of the arena. DAVE Security officers searched for the gunman but to no avail. The shooter had left with the crowd.

I was rushed out by paramedics to be checked on. As they were looking over me, Phil Vibert walked into the room.

Me: What the **** happened out there?!

Phil: Calm down, Tommy.

Me: I ain’t gonna calm down. I want a ****ing explanation.

Phil: Well, a lot of people don’t like you.

Me: Bull****, Phil. No one would bring in a gun and start shooting me without a personal grudge and you know it.

Phil: Yea, I guess.

Me: You guess? **** your guesses, Phil. I want answers. How’d that guy slip by?

Phil: Security missed him. What do you want me to say?

Me: I’m not quite sure right now. I’m not feeling very safe here. I see no reason why I shouldn’t just leave the company and throw the title belt in the trash as I walked out the door.

Phil: You’re overreacting, Tom-

Me: I AM NOT ****ING OVERREACTING! I was shot at today. Do you understand that?!

Phil: Yes.

Me: And that bullet was not supposed to just scare me like it did. It was supposed to kill. If I hadn’t been going to raise my belt up, it would had gone straight into my chest.

Phil: I know that.

Me: Well, how the hell am I supposed to know that it won’t happen again?

Phil: Don’t worry. I won’t let it.

Me: I wanna know how!

Phil: I’ll up the security procedures, OK.

Me: OK. But understand that if this ever happens again, I leave on the spot.

Phil: Fine. It won’t happen.

Me: Good.

Phil: Listen, don’t bother coming in tommmorow. We gotta cover for this somehow. You going out and wrestling right after you had been shot could raise some questions.

Me: OK. Whatever

Phil left the room. Something seemed suspicious. How the hell did the shooter get in the building. And who was it. I had to know. I had to find out. Otherwise, whose to say it wouldn’t happen again.
-------------------------------------
So, I ask of you, my faithful readers, do you have any predictions on who the shooter was? I leave you one hint. He has been at the least mentioned if not featured in this diary so far. I will not tell you until the time is right. But I guarantee, it's gonna be a shocker.
