ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM LEAGUE HEADQUARTERS
From the Desk of Commissioner Colt Marshall...

As a preview to what the fans can expect in The League's fourth season, a special "Rookie Showcase" will be held prior to the official start of the season, featuring all of Season Four's incoming members.

As of yet, it has not been determined whether this will be a tag team contest, a series of single bouts, or some combination thereof. This will not adversely effect the rookies (read as: treated as an exhibition match), and will serve to give both the veterans and fellow rookies a look at what to expect come July, and the start of The League's fourth season.

More details to follow as they become available....

OFFICIAL GUIDELINE LIST FOR THE LEAGUE
(Revised April 6, 2001)

I. GAME ENGINE
The League is run using the Wrestling Spirit II game, version 1.2, latest patch. The League Director has purchased a fully licensed copy of the game, which allows for exhibition matches to take place (such as League matches). The database used is the default CornellVerse database, modified to include promotions, wrestlers, moves, personalized movesets, and relationships for League members as appropriate.

II. INITIAL CHARACTER CREATION

1) Initial Stats
a) Characters created at start of Season 1: All stats will be set to a value of zero (0). A list of all available stats that can be upgraded—regardless of how useful they will be in the League—is provided with each wrestler's web page (made at time of entry into The League by the director).
b) Characters created after start of Season 1: The player will receive in-game funds equivalent to the average winnings of all players from each previous season. The player can then spend this money as if he/she had acquired them through normal means. This mechanic allows any new entrants to be around the same level stats-wise as the veterans.

2) Initial Moveset
a) Assigning of initial moves: Based on the info presented for the wrestler in question, a default movelist will be made for the character. This list will be determined by the style of wrestler, the size, and whether any specific moves have been requested. Note that some moves require a minimum "stat" to use, and thus may not be available at the start.
b) Assigning of signature/finishing moves: When first entering the League, a character may have one "signature" move (a named move which the character uses to great effect, or as a rare finisher) and one finishing move (also named and which is their primary method for ending a match). These moves will have the requirements set to zero (0) in all categories to ensure that the move is in use, and also be assigned to be a "trademark move" of the wrestler using it (mainly for "flavor" purposes).

3) Restrictions on Moveset
a) Player input: Players may suggest moves to be entered into their character's movesets, keeping in mind that the possible stat requirements may make the move unavailable to begin with. Changes to a moveset (with the exception of purchasing new signatures/finishers) can only be done once per season, and no later than halfway through said season. This restriction is in effect due to the fact that altering a moveset is the most time-consuming portion of the character creation or altering process.
b) Limit on signature and finishing maneuvers: At the most during a character's tenure in the League, they may have a maximum of three (3) finishing moves and ten (10) signature moves at any one time. This is for ease of database maintenance and also to keep the database running smoothly. If a player takes either a fourth finishing move or an eleventh signature move, he or she must choose a move in the same category to discard.

4) In-game avatars
a) Not a necessity: Players are not expected to provide a picture to use for their character. While it would look good and certainly help the Director's sanity, it is not necessary. The Director may ask who the player would like to use for their character, and attempt to make the avatar himself (or seek more experienced help in that department).
b) Size: For those people who wish to submit their own avatars, the size of the picture should be 150 pixels by 150 pixels. Larger pictures can be shrunk to meet the needs and still retain quality, but smaller pictures are not recommended.

Once all of the steps above have been completed (namely, when the League Director has entered everything into the program and has a webpage set up for each player), the character is ready to enter the League and try to become champion!

III. LEAGUE GUIDELINES AND RULES

1) Conferences and Divisions: This will be based on the number of entrants. Past examples: Season 1: 3 divisions of 4. Seasons 2-3: 4 divisions of 4.

2) Tournament Playoff: Based on the number of entrants, the top records in the League will face off in an elimination-style tournament until only one remains, as the League Champion for the Season. Past seasons have had the following ratios: Season 1: 12 players, 4 playoff spots. Seasons 2-3: 16 players, 6 playoff spots.

3) Season Standings: In the event of identical records, the tie will be broken in the following order:
a) Head to Head: If the wrestlers have fought each other, whoever has won the match (or series, if a divisional opponent) will have the advantage. If more than two people are tied, records against all wrestlers tied for that position will be looked at, if available, with the best record winning the tie-breaker. If all wrestlers tied for that spot have not faced every other wrestler tied for that spot at least once in the season, this step is skipped and the second tie-breaker is invoked.
b) Divisional Record: In the event that a) above is unable to break the tie, the next step is to compare divisional records of the tied individuals. Whoever has the better divisional record shall have the advantage.
c) Match Rating: If both a) and b) are unable to break a tie, the next step is to look at the average match rating throughout the season. Whoever has the highest average match rating shall have the advantage.
d) Seasonal Earnings: If a) through c) above fail to break a tie, the final check that shall be made is the amount of money earned by that wrestler in the current season, with the highest earner winning the tiebreaker.
e) Playoff: If methods a) through d) above fail to break the tie, a one-match "playoff" shall be held, with the winner claiming the advantage under the guidelines of section a) above. If more than one person is tied, a round-robin style format will be used to determine who claims the advantage under the same guidelines listed above.

IV. SCHEDULING, REGULAR SEASON

1) Schedules: This will largely be based on the number of entrants. The current plan is for a schedule to consist of no fewer than ten (10) matches per player, in a round-robin style. Every season to date has had fourteen (14) regular season matches, to provide an example.

2) Match Order and Region Schedule: Depending on the number of weeks in a season, the Director will randomly draw a number of regions equal to the number of weeks the season will run. Currently, there are no plans for a region to be used twice in a single season. After an appropriate number of regions have been drawn, the Director will then arrange the order so that it would make sense for a company to travel from one locale to the other in a civilized order. (Thus, no Japan to Europe to Mexico and back to Europe again trips.) Match order is determined by the combined popularity of the wrestlers involved; lowest total is the opening match, highest total is the main event. Ties are broken by difference between the characters' popularities, from most different to least different.

3) Type of match: There are five types of singles match available in this game: normal, two out of three falls, cage, hardcore, and first blood. There is a 5% chance that any given match will have one of the latter three stipulations attached to it; this amount may vary in certain parts of the world. Two out of three falls is reserved solely for the post-season playoffs and any special mid-season tournaments. (See below)

4) Rules of the Match: Each region of the world will have its' own quirks on how a match is played out. This will allow for a slightly different dynamic in each area to add to the sense that each area of the world does things differently. Below are the guidelines for each major area:
a) United States: Will have an American style crowd (which will often try to rally behind the faces or taunt the heels). Referee bumps are allowed. Match will be a "Sports-Entertainment" style in order to pacify the short attention spans of the average American wrestling fan. Chances of a specialty match increase to 10% instead of 5%.
b) Canada: Referee bumps are allowed. The match may be stopped due to excessive blood loss. All matches here will be a "normal" style match that is neither too fast nor too slow, which suits the traditional Canadian wrestling audience just fine.
c) Mexico: Referee bumps are allowed. Moves listed as martinetes (typically piledrivers, brainbusters, and the like) are illegal and will cause an immediate disqualification (unless the ref is knocked out). All matches here will be "spot monkey" type matches, which are the fastest-paced matches available and tend to lead to quick finishes from out of nowhere (a la lucha libre rules).
d) Japan: Rules will be adhered to strictly; the referee will call for the bell if you use too many illegal moves. Referee bumps are allowed. The match style is a Strong style match, which are more drawn out and tend to take longer because of the lengthy wearing-down period, and is most well-known in Japanese puroresu wrestling.
e) United Kingdom: Stoppages for blood loss are enforced. Matches are held in a "normal" style, much like the Canadian style. However, referee bumps are not allowed, due to a union agreement made by the League.
f) Europe: Not only are referee bumps not allowed (for the same reason as listed above), but the rules are also adhered to strictly, so heels may want to watch their step when in one of the three European areas. To counteract this, special-type matches have a 20% chance of occurring on European soil, which eliminates the DQ possibility. Matches held here are in the Old School style of wearing out an opponent so that a finisher will often be enough to win.

5) Changes in popularity: After a match has been concluded, a wrestler's popularity will change depending on the rating of the match, as well as the result. The higher the match rating, the higher the popularity increases, and vice versa. Winning a match will also increase a character's popularity. The length of a match will also have a factor in the change of popularity, as does the amount of offense each participant has. All of these changes will be handled by the League Director "behind the scenes" in between shows. The formula used is one created by the Director and may be disseminated if asked properly (and in fact has been, in the discussion thread).

6) Match Earnings: In order to keep things relatively simple, match earnings will be kept on the low side of the spectrum. Specifically: the purse for any given match will be $600, plus the current popularity of all workers involved. From this total, the winner will earn 75% of the purse, the loser 25%. (As an example: if both wrestlers are at a popularity of 20% in the region, 600 + 20 + 20 = $640. 75% of 640 = $480 to the winner, 25% of 640 = $160 to the loser.)
a) Match of the Night Bonus: The highest-ranking match of each week will receive "Match of the Night" honors. Matches so designated will earn a bonus of 1 to 25% to each wrestler's earnings depending on the rating of the match in question. In the event that more than one match receives the same rating, the Director will take several factors into account before picking one of those matches to earn the MotN award.
b) NOTE: The amounts listed above are effective as of season two. In season one, the base purse was $250 instead of $600.

7) Improving stats: In order to improve their statistics, each wrestler may buy training in a stat at the cost of the winnings they have earned. Increasing from 0% to 1% costs $10, and each point beyond that costs $10 more than the previous point. (Thus, 1% to 2% is $20, 2% to 3% is $30, 3% to 4% is $40. To go from 1% to 4%, you would need a total of $90.) It costs over $50,000 to advance a single stat from 0 to 100, and any seasons after the first would see the base purse prize increase to compensate for the higher costs.

8) Specialty Items: As documented before, all wrestlers will start with one signature move and one finisher that are considered "free" moves. Wrestlers may purchase up to two other finishers and up to nine other signature moves using their winnings, and may also purchase the services of a manager for an entire season. Signature moves cost $400 each, while finishers cost $1,000 each. Managers can also be bought, but at a cost of $3,000. This purchase lasts for two seasons (eff. April 6 '11 --SF). Upon purchase, the handler can tell the Director what the name of the new move is, what sort of move it is, and whether it's just a move they use frequently, a set-up move for a finisher, or if the move could possibly end a match if used. The director will then find a base move in the database, copy said move, and alter the copy to fit the specifications requested. The same general rule applies for finishing moves. Some examples are provided below.
a) Player One spends $400 to create a signature move he calls Immolation. This is a Death Valley Driver that he uses as a set-up move, but has been known to end matches with it.
b) Player Three spends $400 to create a signature move he calls the Sick Kick. This is essentially a higher-speed version of the superkick, and may occasionally force the wrestler to jump to make greater impact. This move cannot end matches, as it is usually the set-up for a submission finisher.
c) Player Two, deciding that his current finisher (a reverse double underhook facebuster) hasn't helped him win matches lately, elects to spend $1,000 on a new finisher. Deciding on a suspended STF (the Muta lock) and calling it the Longest Night, the input for that move is complete.
d) Finally, Player Four is getting tired of losing matches because he cannot seem to get control. After a lot of saving, he's acquired $3,500, and chooses to spend $3,000 on a manager for the following season. He would then PM the Director with a name, pic base (if the handler so chooses) and any other info he wants to be noted during the course of the following season, when the manager will work for him. After the playoffs conclude in said following season, the manager leaves the employ of Player Four, who must spend another $3,000 to re-acquire the manager's services.

9) Turnaround time: The Director of the league (namely, myself) expects to have a week of the league simulated and written up every week, including any behind the scenes work such as popularity changes. This may be altered due to weather, natural disasters, emergency circumstances, job-related incidents (of which the first three examples listed are often related), equipment malfunctions, duties to other projects, and so forth. The League Director will attempt to give due notice prior to any such events, if he is able to. The plan is to have one update per week, with a typical season (regular and post-season combined) lasting no more than four months for a fourteen-match regular season (14 weeks + 1 playoff week + 1 mid-season special tournament + 1-2 week "off-season" for maintenance and editing of the database)

V. SCHEDULING, POST-SEASON/"PLAYOFFS"

1) Match Location: All post-season matches will be held in what is called the "Virtual Arena" in-game. This location takes the highest amount of popularity a character has in the game world and uses that as the baseline for starting energy in their match. This is used in the playoffs to help simulate that when it comes to do or die, the more well-known workers seem to have a better knack for getting the job done.

2) Changes in Popularity: Post-season matches do not count for changes in character popularity in the game world.

3) Match Purses: Post-season matches do not have a monetary purse attached to them.

4) Style of Match: All playoff matches, regardless of the style of tournament used, shall be contested under best two out of three falls rules as a "regular" match, with referee bumps being allowed.

5) Match Order: Match order shall be determined by the League Director, and shall not be random for playoff cards.

6) Turnaround Time: As noted in section IV, part 9), turnaround time will remain at a week per round, unless dictated otherwise on the league recap page. If a time is noted on the league recap page, that time takes precedence over the standard rule.

VI: AUDIENCE/PLAYER PARTICIPATION

1) As someone once quipped, "this is a wrestling-based RPG." While true to a point, no roleplays (or RPs) need to be written for your character. They would have no effect on the game, and so are unnecessary. If you wish to write one for fun, you're welcome to; just be advised that it will not alter the results in any way.

2) During the course of the season, a season-long prediction contest shall be run by the League Director, who will also participate in the guise of League fan columnist Tori Montgomery. In a change from the first two seasons, those who pick correctly split the total number of points available for a match, and at the end of the season, the points earned will be added into that player's training cash total as a bonus for habitual participation. In addition, the winner of the prediction contest earns the right to set divisions for the upcoming season.
a) Predictions from all participants (with the exception of the League Director—see below) may be changed up to the time at which the results are posted. Prediction standings shall use the last "official" predictions made by a player to determine points scored for the round.
b) NOTE: The Director will never simulate a week of the League prior to making prediction picks, as to do otherwise would ruin the spirit of the game. The Director will post his predictions on the forums prior to simulating the week's matches, so that his picks are rendered official and can not be changed later to prevent foul play.

3) This is meant as a fun diversion, and so insult wars, flaming, and other negative behaviors will not be tolerated. We are all mature here; there is no need for any sort of negative action to ruin the fun for everyone else. Talking a little smack is acceptable, as long as it doesn't get out of hand and doesn't become personal. After all, this is a wrestling-based game and talking smack has always been part of the business.

4) Handlers are expected to keep abreast of their current earnings and dictate where to distribute winnings/points at least once or twice a season. The more often you check, the more say you'll be able to have on your character's development, as even a few points difference in a stat could be a game-breaker. For that reason, it is highly suggested that all players at least keep tabs on their character's cash balances and plan to distribute points accordingly.

5) Handlers who have been inactive for an entire season will have their character(s) removed from active competition during the following post-season break. Any money that their characters may have acquired will be reduced by half as a further penalty in case they return to the game at a later date. Characters belonging to the League Director are exempt from this requirement, and other exemptions of this nature are solely at the discretion of management.

VII. BETWEEN SEASONS

1) Because little enjoyment can be had during downtime, the Director will attempt to expedite all between-season changes so that the following season of the league may begin in a prompt manner. The projected turnaround time for making post-season changes to abilities, popularity, and any other changes is two weeks, though this may be changed at the whim of the Director. When possible, the Director will attempt to work on some of the off-season changes during the season itself, in order to expedite the process.

2) END OF THE SEASON AWARDS: At the end of the playoffs, various awards will be handed out by the Director. These include:
a) Playoff Wrestler Award: Everyone who made the playoffs will receive $50 to allocate or save as they see fit.
b) Divisional Champions Award: Should the number of participants allow a multi-divisional system, the division champions will earn an additional $50 on top of the "Playoff Wrestler" bonus to allocate or save as they deem fit.
c) Entertainer of the Season Award: The wrestler with the highest average match rating will earn a $50 bonus to allocate or save as they see fit. If more than one wrestler ties for this award, then each shall receive the full bonus.
d) Upset of the Season: This award will be given to the wrestler who starts the match with a lower amount of popularity (and thus energy) than his opponent, and still manages to pull out the win. The greatest difference in popularity at the time of the match will be the main decider of this award; tiebreakers will include match rating, length of match, and offensive rating. The winner of this award will receive $100 to allocate or save as they deem fit.
e) Match of the Season: A match must first qualify as Match of the Night to be eligible for this award. The director will examine all of the yearly MotN winners and choose one to be the Match of the Season. All participants in that match will receive a bonus of $200 to save or allocate as they deem fit.
f) Notes on prize amounts: These may increase in later seasons to better reflect the rising costs of stat increases.

3) After each season, all participants will receive a minimum of ten (10) attribute points to add into their statistics. Handlers may assign these points for free, in any areas of their choosing, with only one restriction: a handler may not put more than five (5) points into any one stat in this manner each post-season. Wrestlers who finish with more losses than wins will receive additional free points to use in the same manner, with the same restrictions.

4) All wrestlers making the playoffs will receive a minimum of one (1) point to be added to their Wrestling Spirit statistic. The further into the playoffs one goes, the more Spirit points they shall receive. The League champion shall always receive ten (10) Spirit points, and the runner-up shall always receive eight (8). The remainder will be determined by format of the tournament, number of entrants, and round in which elimination occurred. This information will be provided at the end of the postseason, and said points will be added during the off-season. Because of the importance of the Wrestling Spirit stat (which is used to aid a wrestler's chances of kicking out of a pin or not succumbing to a submission hold), this is one of only two ways this stat can be improved. In the event of a smaller field of players, these totals may be altered as appropriate to fit the current scenario.

5) When there are more people willing to be in the League than can be reasonably accommodated to stay true to the planned turnaround time (i.e. with over 20 participants), a "replacement" system shall be instituted, in which the wrestlers with the worst records will "sit out" the following season to undergo further training to be ready to return the following season. An equal number of replacements will be brought in from the list of reserves. Should the League ever reach this point, the Director will create the necessary rules to handle this situation.

VIII. PUBLIC DISCLOSURE

1) Popularity levels of a character in all regions of the game world will be considered public information, and posted in the match line-up for that specific week and locale. The Director may provide all of this information as a spreadsheet for public viewing, if enough people ask.

2) Also considered public information is a character's win-loss record, typical finishing maneuvers, average match rating, and any League accolades won during his or her career in the League. See the posts above for this information.

3) A character's statistics that define how he/she is in the ring are not considered public records and so will not be openly displayed.
a) Those interested in having the data to run matches similar to the League on their personal computers for fun should contact the League Director privately. Please note that "exhibition" matches, which all League matches are considered in-game, cannot be run on the demo version of Wrestling Spirit II.
b) The current plan is for each handler to have a separate web page which details current information on stats, funds available, etc. Communication on how to improve the character via stat distribution should be handled via the GDS forums' PM feature.

4) Any questions should be directed to the League Director, who will answer them as best as he can. This is best done via private message on the GDS forums.

Season Three, Week One
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
February 20, 2011

Yes, fans, once again it's that time again. Welcome to Season Three of the League! I'm Tori Montgomery, pulling double duty this season as The League's official web columnist and supporting color commentator for every show in the next four months. Only two new faces come in this season, both replacing members unable or unwilling to remain with us. The field remains at sixteen, and for the first time there is a possibility of a repeat champion, as reigning champ Johnny Triumph is among the field looking to climb the mountain once again.

I'm as anxious as anyone to get the season started, so let's take a look at the divisions for the League's third iteration, shall we?

THE DIVISIONS: SEASON THREE

Mr. I effin rule, as a result of his predictions dominance last season, has set up the divisions to his liking for season three, and given how last season ended with three members of one division making the playoffs, I'm not believing that a repeat performance is in the works this season. Now revealed to the public eye, here are the divisions for the upcoming season:

ALPHA DIVISION

Johnny Triumph (9-5 last season, Delta Division Champion, Defending League Champion)
From being one match out of the Season One playoffs to winning it all in Season Two, Triumph has been a front-runner in both seasons he's been a part of. Triumph is a submission specialist, and his Horns of Victory finisher is one of the most feared in The League. Early Vegas odds have him making the playoffs, but we'll find out over the next three months whether he can live up to the expectations placed before him.
Strengths: Unquestionably the best technical wrestler in The League, is not afraid to throw punches when he needs to.
Weaknesses: May have stamina issues; is not known for being very charismatic.

Super Century (4-10 last season, last in Delta Division, 14th overall)
Century did not have too great of a rookie season, with half of his wins coming via divisional matches. Given that half of the division this season are some of the larger competitors in the League, I'm thinking it could be a long season for the eager high-flier. If he breaks .500, I'll be surprised.
Strengths: Decent all-around wrestler, with a slight emphasis on aerial tactics. One of the more resilient members of The League.
Weaknesses: For such a high-flier, he has noted stamina issues and limited athleticism.

Tarik Nolan (10-4 last season, Third in Gamma Division/Wild Card Entrant, 6th place overall)
Last season, Nolan was one of the Gamma Division's "Big Three," going 5-1 in divisional matches but falling one match short in his bid for the division title. This season, grouped with the defending League Champion, Nolan is looking to prove a point and take revenge on Triumph for relegating him to the fifth-place consolation match last season.
Strengths: No one is more powerful or resilient in The League. Surprisingly decent technical ability.
Weaknesses: The big guy is easily winded, and cannot move fast to save his life.

Thor Hammerskald (4-10 last season, Third in Beta Division, 13th place overall
The Norseman returns this season looking to go up from his poor 4-10 showing last season. One of the heavier members of the League, Thor comes in as the biggest man in the revamped Alpha Division, and with a little bit of luck on his side could challenge for a playoff berth this season.
Strengths: The gold standard in The League in a straight fistfight, surprising submission skills
Weaknesses: His technical skills leave a lot to be desired, as does his stamina.

BETA DIVISION

Diamond (w/Jayde) (5-9 last season, Third in Delta Division, 12th overall)
Diamond is one of two League members who will be accompanied by a manager this season. Of the two, she might need the distractions a manager can provide just a bit more, as she's one of the returning veterans who ended last season with a worse record than in season one. No one can doubt that she's a very entertaining wrestler in the ring—she was Season One's Entertainer of the Season, after all—but will the manager give her the push she needs to finally contend for a division title?
Strengths: By far the most charismatic League member, tends to be consistent in matches
Weaknesses: Limited in-ring skills, her main strength (her aerial skills) are suspect at best.

Ezekial "ACE" Kerghan (League Rookie)
One of the two rookies joining the League for season three, Ezekial has been described by former employer The Dog Pound as a bit of a psychopath, specializing in hardcore bouts and taking everything that can be thrown at him. With a noted lack of hardcore matches in The League, though, it will be interesting to see if Kerghan can make the adjustment to a more regular style of match.
Strengths: Hardcore specialist, good resilience to withstand punishment
Weaknesses: Technical skills are basically non-existent, easily winded

"The Scorpion" Scott Stevens (7-7 last season, Second in Delta Division, 8th overall)
A rookie last season, Stevens did respectably well, taking the Delta Division race to the final week of the regular season before falling just short. There is no question that Stevens is one of the most arrogant members of The League, having disrespected a number of people associated with the League (including yours truly). However, he can back up his words in the ring, leaving some to wonder if this is the season he breaks into the limelight.
Strengths: Ability to take a beating and still keep going in the ring.
Weaknesses: Truly a jack of all trades but master of none.

The Phoenix (w/Te'Snilo Bradenbury) (11-3 last season, Gamma Division Champion, 3rd overall)
The turnaround story of the season last time, Phoenix went from a 3-11 debut season to a 7-0 start and coming one match away from competing for the League Championship. Yet another wrestler who uses a submission—in this case, the rarely-seen Stretch Muffler he dubs "Eternal Requiem"—Phoenix has been on both ends of the spectrum on League competition. The question here is how will having his wife accompany him as a manager change his in-ring capability?
Strengths: Outclasses everyone in The League in basic wrestling skills, has recovered from a broken neck to compete over the last two seasons.
Weaknesses: For being a technical wrestler, his skills are on the lower edge of acceptable. His size leads him to be tired very easily.

GAMMA DIVISION

Ian Carlisle (League Rookie)
The second of the two rookies joining The League in its third season, Carlisle reminds me of Scott Stevens in his skill set. In the ring, he doesn't favor one method of attack over another, though his finishing maneuver—a top rope gutbuster—is sure to raise some eyebrows once the season begins.
Strengths: Is one of the few League members comfortable in the air, unknown status may be to his favor
Weaknesses: Like Scott Stevens, a jack of all trades with no specialization; uncertain ability to fend off injury.

Maxx Skabb (8-6 last season, second in Beta Division, 7th overall)
Maxx returns after a big improvement from Season One, coming a match and a tiebreaker away from making the playoffs in his second season. One of the more menacing figures in The League, Maxx vehemently denies any accusations that he has a crush on Diamond, despite the two of them teaming for the mid-season tag tournament last season. I'm not going to doubt that Maxx has a shot at the playoffs this time around.
Strengths: One of the most powerful members of the League, also able to throw punches with the best of them
Weaknesses: Flies like a lead balloon, has the athleticism of a slug.

Robbie Maynard (5-9 last season, last in Alpha Division, 11th overall)
What a difference a season makes. Making the playoffs as the wild card in Season One, Maynard struggled to get anything going last season and finished in the bottom half of the standings. Rumors abound that he's got some new plans for the season, and he will need them with the competition he is facing in this division.
Strengths: Easily the most athletic person on the roster, also in great cardiovascular shape.
Weaknesses: Hit-or-miss basic abilities, can be a bit injury prone.

Sean (11-3 last season, Second in Gamma Division/Wild Card, 2nd overall)
Sean was a tie-breaker away from winning his division last season, and came within a few minutes of walking away with the League Championship last season. The only member of the League to have been in both seasons' playoffs, Sean is the odds-on favorite according to the Vegas bookmakers to win it all this season.
Strengths: One of the better mat wrestlers in The League, can also withstand a lot of in-ring punishment.
Weaknesses: His defense against fliers is suspect at best, also does not get a lot of power behind his attacks.

DELTA DIVISION

El Demonio de Sangre (3-11 last season, last in Gamma Division, 15th overall)
Demonio was one of the bigger disappointments in Season Two, though many think that can be attributed to the Gamma Division's "Big Three" last season. The only Luchadore in The League, Demonio looks to pull a Phoenix and turn his fortunes completely around in his second season with The League.
Strengths: The best pure aerialist in The League, has a surprisingly good mat game as well and is skilled in the basics.
Weaknesses: Cannot keep a frenetic pace for long, will lose a fistfight every time

Nuclear Templeton (9-5 last season, Alpha Division champion, 5th overall)
Nuclear has been one of the front-runners each of the last two seasons, narrowly missing out on winning his division in season one. Last season, he accomplished his objective of making the playoffs, but was bounced quickly. Returning for a third season, Templeton is ready to take that next leap into the elite with a run deep into the playoffs.
Strengths: Can end a match in multiple ways, has superior power and stamina compared to most of the rest of the League.
Weaknesses: Despite power, is not good at fisticuffs, has a weak technical game.

Sebastian Moore (10-4 last season, Beta Division champion, 4th overall)
Despite finishing last season as the #2 seed, Moore was unable to advance in the playoffs and had to settle for a fourth-place finish. The only rookie to make the playoffs last season, many consider Moore to be the pick of the litter for the Season Two class; a second playoff run would only solidify that claim.
Strengths: One of the few people in The League with mixed martial arts knowledge, as well as in-ring psychology
Weaknesses: Has no specific area of expertise, aerial defense is practically nil.

SGRaaize (7-7 last season, Second in Alpha Division, 9th overall)
With a slight improvement in record from Season One, Raaize comes into Season Three looking to force his way into the playoff picture. Being in the same division with two of last season's divisional champions does not help his odds out at all, though. It could be a long season for the Portuguese native.
Strengths: Has a firm grasp on his technical wresting ability, is surprisingly powerful for his size.
Weaknesses: Not very charismatic, is very awkward when defending or attacking through the air.

THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (Mexico—West Central)
(Martinetes are illegal, ref bumps allowed, Spot Monkey style match)

As you can see, after ending season two in beautiful Rio de Janeiro, we're staying "South of the border" as we visit the beaches of Puerto Vallarta to kick off Season Three. As the city doesn't have an arena big enough to host the League, the show will be held on one of the local beaches, so expect a different look for The League this week! That said, it's high time I entered my first picks of the season.

Johnny Triumph (0-0, 6%) vs. SGRaaize (0-0, 9%)
(Career Series: Tied 1-1)
The defending League Champion comes in at a disadvantage in this match, and with the Spot Monkey rules that slight difference could be all it takes. However, he's not the champ for nothing, and I think Triumph will kick off his championship defense with a victory.
Tori's Pick: Johnny Triumph, 7:20, F

CAGE MATCH: Thor Hammerskald (0-0, 16%) vs. Robbie Maynard (0-0, 9%)
(Career Series: Maynard, 1-0.
Career in Cage Matches: Maynard 0-1, Thor 1-1)
This could be a surprisingly good match, all things considered. Maynard had Thor's number the last time these two faced off—coincidentally, in the main event of Season Two's opening week—and I'd be a fool to think that a cage will be any different. Maynard in an early contender for Match of the Night.
Tori's Pick: Robbie Maynard, 16:10, B+

Sebastian Moore (0-0, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (0-0, 15%)
(Career Series: First Regular Season Meeting)
As playoff matches do not figure into the regular season stats, it's not being shown above. However, this IS a rematch from the third-place consolation last post-season, which Phoenix won. With so little time in between that match and this one, I do not see any changes to the result happening. Te'Snilo Bradenbury will also help tilt the match in Phoenix's favor, as well (in my opinion).
Tori's Pick: The Phoenix, 9:10, C

Super Century (0-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (0-0, 15%)
(Career Series: Templeton, 1-0)
Last season, it only took Templeton nine and a half minutes to take out Super Century. With the new moves in his arsenal and the confidence that comes from his divisional title last season, the question becomes: is he TOO confident in his ability? Everyone seems to be writing Century off, but I'm going to pick a surprise opening week upset here.
Tori's Pick: Super Century, 12:20, C+

Diamond (0-0, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (0-0, 15%)
(Career Series: Diamond, 1-0)
It was season one, week ten when Diamond pulled off a win in eight and a half minutes, in the northern part of the UK. Here, this is an area much more suited to Diamond's ability, plus Maxx's primary finisher is banned. I'm surprised that so many people are picking Maxx; I'm going to have to go against them on this one. Diamond goes to 2-0 against Skabb with a closely-fought win and help from her new manager, Jayde.
Tori's Pick: Diamond, 14:20, B

Tarik Nolan (0-0, 15%) vs. Sean (0-0, 15%)
(Career Series: Sean, 2-1)
These two were divisional rivals last season, splitting the season series. Sean also holds a season one victory over Nolan, but after the performances last season I see Nolan evening up this series.
Tori's Pick: Tarik Nolan, 10:40, C-

Scott Stevens (0-0, 14%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (0-0, 18%)
(Career Series: Stevens, 1-0)
The bandwagon seems to be out in force, with a lot of people getting behind Demonio in what is essentially his home region. However, people are neglecting the fact that Demonio lost to Stevens in the season opener last season; history once more repeats this season.
Tori's Pick: Scott Stevens, 9:40, D

Ezekial Kerghan (0-0, 19%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-0, 15%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
And in a bit of irony, both League Rookies this season meet up in the main event of the opening week. How's that for showcasing new talent? In any event, as not much is known about either man, I'm going to go against the prevailing tide on this one.
Tori's Pick: Ian Carlisle, 11:10, C

And with that, folks, the wait is almost over. Here's to another four months of League action. Until Saturday night, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

Also, as a quick note to the summary above, Thor's got two MOTN awards under his belt rather than one. I'm quite happy to be in a cage in Mexico, as well, because I'm fairly certain my second finisher is a martinete...

ShadowedFlames, noticed a minor error with the money values next to Nuclear's chain wrestling skill, seems to be showing up 1 level below what it should be. Not at all important, I just want everyone to know that I'm paying super attention to this in preparation for Nuclear obliterating Super Century... and then his old frenemy SG Raaize. :)

Johnny Triumph (0-0, 6%) vs. SGRaaize (0-0, 9%)
My technical abilities will be tested on the first show, and I don't they'l pass the test, history of this matchup comes at 1-1, I think I will win based on my strength and popularity alone

CAGE MATCH: Thor Hammerskald (0-0, 16%) vs. Robbie Maynard (0-0, 9%)
The History of this match up comes with Robbie Maynard winning 1-0, Thor has had a record of one win and one loss in this Stipulation, but Thor's popularity makes me think he'l win here.

Sebastian Moore (0-0, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (0-0, 15%)
They never faced before, they have equal popularity, their styles don't outclass each other, both lost to Johnny Triumph on the Playoffs, overall, this is the most interesting matchup of the show. I'l bet on Sebastian Moore purely because I like him more than The Phoenix

Super Century (0-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (0-0, 15%)
They never faced before, but Nuclear Templeton's strength outmatch Super Century's weaknesses and Super Century's strengths can't touch Nuclear Templeton's weaknesses, in short... LARIAAAAAAAATO~~~~~~

Diamond (0-0, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (0-0, 15%)
Last time these fighters faced, over at Season 1, Diamond won against Maxx Stabb, although Skabb has weak resillence according to OP, I can't help but think he'l win against Diamond anyways, MOTN, probably

Tarik Nolan (0-0, 15%) vs. Sean (0-0, 15%)
Sean defeated Tarik Nolan twice, he'l do the same here

Scott Stevens (0-0, 14%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (0-0, 18%)
El Demonio de Sangre has the reputation advantage, but Scott Stevens is the best fighter, and according to the OP, can take a beating, I am 80% sure Stevens will win

Ezekial Kerghan (0-0, 19%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-0, 15%)
Two rookies which we know nothing about, I predict Ian purely on the fact I like Jack of All Trades more than Psychos

By the way, I liked how you added these tidbits about the characters, ShadowedFlames, I think it adds to their personality more than promos, and makes me more interested in the show overall.

Edit: Looking at the schedule, I just noticed my match in Europe is gonna be against Nuclear Templeton, **** no!!!

She partnered with the league's only psycho (up until this year), so she'll be fine. She'll probably use the Skabb method of control, wherein, when Maxx got a little out of control, she hit him in the crotch with a cricket bat.

And then yelled KEVIN JOOOOONES!

Johnny Triumph (0-0, 6%) vs. SGRaaize (0-0, 9%)
- I'm a mark for SGRaazie, Portuguese Lariat FTW! :D

CAGE MATCH
Thor Hammerskald (0-0, 16%) vs. Robbie Maynard (0-0, 9%)
Rules for Survival 101: When locked in a cage, never ever pick a fight with the bigger guy. Unfortunately for Maynard, I do believe that Thor will dominate in the cage.

Sebastian Moore (0-0, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (0-0, 15%)
This should be a close match up between the two, but I'll pick my rival from last season.

Super Century (0-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (0-0, 15%)
Nuclear will be far too strong and if my predictions are correct, will be the 2nd lariat of the night.

Diamond (0-0, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (0-0, 15%)
Despite Survival 101, I think Diamond will steal the win from Skabb, since this is an spot monkey style match (Maxx is quoted to have the "Aerial ability of a lead balloon"). Plus Maxx's primary finisher is a "Martinetes"

Tarik Nolan (0-0, 15%) vs. Sean (0-0, 15%)
You got to pick yourself :p

Scott Stevens (0-0, 14%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (0-0, 18%)
I'm going for the more well rounded Stevens despite de Sangre's higher popularity.

Ezekial Kerghan (0-0, 19%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-0, 15%)
Two unknown rookies in the main event. I'm going with Ezekial here due to his higher popularity + the GTS is an awesome finisher. Though Ian definitely had the style advantage and I wouldn't be surprised to see him win either.

ShadowedFlames

02-25-2011, 07:38 AM

Just an FYI, there are about 12 hours remaining to get any outstanding training PM's in, and 36 for predictions.

As an incentive to lure a few lurkers in for predictions (Grunt/C-bot for starters), I'll play Monty Hall and make you a deal. I mentioned this somewhere in the discussion thread, but anyway... if anyone watching along this season joins in the prediction game and then signs up for Season Four as an active wrestler, I'll allow your prediction winnings to carry over and be added to your starting cash amount, similar to how any returning players would get their prediction winnings added to their cash total at season's end. Depending on chance, that could be anywhere from nothing to an additional $450 to work with!

So come on...you know you wanna!

Surprised C-bot and Grunt are picking me to lose. :(

If I understand right...

He's both more popular and the match style favors him, quick and in the air.

Also...Scorpion is a notorious jobber.

My record begs to differ. I should be 8-6, because medical DQs don't count. :cool:

Not going to post teasers this week, as I want to make sure the anticipation is there for week one. I'm in the process of writing commentary now--I'm on match five of eight--and then I have to change up entrances for this venue since it won't be in an arena proper. I plan to have it posted within the next two hours.

Note: The entrances shows this week are not the usual entrances, given that it's hard to put a decent sound system on a beach. Your usual entrances/song picks will return next week. --SF

Season Three, Week One
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
February 26, 2011

The screen fades in to the finals of last season's playoffs, in which highlights are shows of Johnny Triumph's two-falls-to-one victory over Sean to emerge as the League Champion. As the final pinfall is counted, the voice of longtime League ring announcer Amelia Williams can be heard.

Amelia Williams: It is a goal that only two have achieved. To stand on top of the mountain, as the best in The League. Once again, sixteen men and women will face off with the goal of becoming this season's Johnny Triumph...to emerge from the four-month gauntlet as the best in The League.

Fourteen have returned, knowing what to expect of the next four months. Two new members have also joined, rounding the field at sixteen once more. Who will be the standout this season? Who will emerge as the dominant wrestler?

It's time to find out, ladies and gentlemen. This is Season Three...of The League.

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JyxBiUbCP8E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></object> THE LEAGUE: SEASON THREE, WEEK ONE

Instead of the usual pyrotechnics and deafening noise, the camera fades in to the beaches of Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and a crowd of several thousand vacationers and die-hard League fans grouped loosely around the ring that's been constructed on the beach. Off to the right, a cordoned off area houses the locker rooms as we cut to the announce table at ringside and our three-person commentary team.

Bob Sinclair: Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to The League! Bob Sinclair, here at ringside as always, and for this season I'm joined not only by my long-time broadcast colleague Frankie Garnett, but also the host of Beyond Ringside, Tori Montgomery.

Frankie Garnett: It's about time we started up again, I was getting bored!

Tori Montgomery: Coming from a man with the attention span of a goldfish, I find that believable enough.

Frankie Garnett: Hey!

Bob Sinclair: In any event, for the next sixteen weeks, we will be here to watch as these sixteen men and women look to become League Champion. It's sure to be an interesting ride.

Frankie Garnett: Look, Bob, enough talk already. There are millions of people watching this who want to get the season started!

Bob Sinclair: So be it. Let's go to the voice of The League, Amelia Williams, to get us underway!

Johnny Triumph (0-0, 6%) vs. SGRaaize (0-0, 9%)

The first man in the match emerges from the curtain hiding the backstage area, and the area is nearly drowned out in jeers as he emerges from the entryway, a rain of golden sparks falling behind him as he walks to the ring with a confident look on his face. Instead of taking the steps closest to him, he walks around to the opposite side of the ring, drawing in more jeers as he finally climbs the steps and enters the ring.

Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first match of Season Three, scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing 228 pounds, he is the reigning League Champion...Johnny Triumph!

Bob Sinclair: Triumph won it all last season, and looks to be the first two-time League Champion coming in. He's got a bit of a tough task ahead of him tonight, though.

Frankie Garnett: Bob, you're talking about our champion. Until proven otherwise, he is the man to beat!

Tori Montgomery: I hate to agree with Frankie, but he's right. Triumph is the champ for a reason, and tonight we'll find out whether it was just a fluke.

Emerging from the entryway, he stands at the top of the entranceway, a flag of Portugal held in his left hand. Ignoring the jeers of the fans, he slides into the ring and bounces off the ropes a couple of times to stretch before handing the flag off to a ringside attendant and turning to face his opponent.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Torres Vedras, Portugal, weighing 231 pounds...SGRaaize!

Frankie Garnett: Seriously, do either of you give Raaize a chance at anything other than mediocrity this season?

Tori Montgomery: I think he has as good a chance as anyone in the Delta Division, Frankie.

Bob Sinclair: Well, in any event, the fans are ready for the third season to get started, who are we to deny them any longer? There's the bell, and we are underway!

Bob Sinclair: And Triumph starts his title defense off with authority!

Tori Montgomery: He's determined to show everyone who doubts him that he is for real this season!

CAGE MATCH: Thor Hammerskald (0-0, 16%) vs. Robbie Maynard (0-0, 9%)

Bob Sinclair: As we get ready for our next match, Frankie, what do you see happening here?

Frankie Garnett: Hammerskald wrecking people into and through the cage, plain and simple.

Tori Montgomery: I disagree. I've heard that Maynard's been shoring up his weaknesses in the offseason; I think he will be more than ready to take care of Thor.

Bob Sinclair: Well, folks, our ring hands have the cage locked in place, so we're ready for our next contest. Amelia?

A Norse battle cry emerges from backstage before he appears to a decent ovation as the big man emerges from backstage, looking every bit the part of a Viking warrior as he strides to the ring with a determined look on his face...and scattering some of the fans away from the entrance ramp as he turns to glare at them.

Amelia Williams: The following contest is a steel cage match, in which the only way to win is to escape the cage! Introducing first, from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald!

Frankie Garnett: I'm going on record right now by saying that Thor will double his win total from last season.

Tori Montgomery: And did you wager on that?

Frankie Garnett: Of course I did, another $3,000. That's how certain I am.

Bob Sinclair: I can see the train wreck already, folks.

Thor opponent emerges from backstage, drawing a mixed reaction from the crowd as one of the League's initial playoff wrestlers emerges from the stage, basking in the spotlight shining above him. After pausing to mentally prepare himself, he walks to the ring, his eyes never leaving the squared circle as he climbs onto the apron and ducks between the ropes.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Liverpool, England, weighing 251 pounds...Robbie Maynard!

Tori Montgomery: Here's a guy I'm looking for great things from this season, Bob.

Bob Sinclair: Maynard is looking to rebound from last season after being in the playoffs in our inaugural season.

Frankie Garnett: I still think he's a has-been, Bob. What has he done lately besides lose?

Bob Sinclair: I'm not sure why Hammerskald likes to head up top now and again, though.

Tori Montgomery: The awe factor. Supposed to draw the fans in, Bob. That's the only reason I can think of.

Frankie Garnett: I call shenanigans! Thor was robbed!

Bob Sinclair: Only in your mind, Frankie.

Frankie Garnett: See, this is why he needs a guy like me in his corner! I could take him to new heights!

Sebastian Moore (0-0, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (0-0, 15%)

Tori Montgomery: In any event, while we wait for the cage to be dismantled, coming up is a rematch of last season's third-place consolation match. The only difference is that one of the competitors will be having a manager accompany them to the ring.

Bob Sinclair: I, for one, will be interested to see how well this works for him. Especially after the turnaround he had last season; I'm not sure whether he needs this or not.

Frankie Garnett: It just gives him an excuse when he starts to lose again, mark my words!

Bob Sinclair: In any event, we're ready for our next contest. Amelia, take it away!

It is to a bit of silence that he emerges, an arrogant smirk crossing his face as he soaks in the jeers of the crowd. Looking up at the spotlight for a moment, his smirk seems to get even bigger as he walks down the ramp, ignoring the catcalls of the crowd as he ascends the steps, wipes his feet on the apron, and steps through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: This bout I scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Manchester, England, weighing 237 pounds...Sebastian Moore!

Bob Sinclair: Moore was the highest-ranked rookie last season; no doubt that he's looking to repeat that performance this season.

Tori Montgomery: That goes without saying, Bob. That Chonan Lock of his is as potent a finisher as I've seen in The League.

Frankie Garnett: No, the most potent finisher is Phoenix's body odor.

The League's largest member emerges from the back and walks to the ring, a smaller figure walking beside him on his left. As he approaches the steps, he pauses, bowing his head for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and releasing a shout to the skies above. His wife reaches up and gives him a quick peck on the cheek for luck as he ducks between the ropes and finishes his stretching.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Te'Snilo Bradenbury, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds...this is The Phoenix!

Bob Sinclair: The top man in the regular season last time out, there's a surprising number of people who think Phoenix could be poised to make a championship run this season.

Frankie Garnett: If it's to the buffet table, then yes, I'm one of those who think that.

Tori Montgomery: It will be interesting to see how Miss Bradenbury factors into the contest, at least from my point of view.

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of sixteen minutes and forty seconds...The Phoenix!

Bob Sinclair: And the winning ways continue; Phoenix is picking up where he left off last season!

Tori Montgomery: Good. That just made the Beta Division that much more interesting.

Frankie Garnett: And why would you say that?

Super Century (0-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (0-0, 15%)

Tori Montgomery: Because after last season, and the way that division is set up, we could see another 8-0 start this season.

Frankie Garnett: You've got to be kidding me!

Bob Sinclair: Tori has a point there, Frankie, but in any event, we're ready for our next match of the evening. We're wasting no time tonight; let's send it to Amelia.

Without warning, all of the lights go off around the beach, casting everything into pitch blackness. A few seconds pass before a spotlight shines on one of the turnbuckles, revealing no one there. This is repeated with all four turnbuckles, each revealing no one there. Finally, one last spotlight shines down onto the middle of the ring, which reveals the caped form of The League's resident superhero, who stands with arms folded and staring intently into the audience as the lights come back up.

Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from the Halls of Justice, weighing 205 pounds...Super Century!

Frankie Garnett: You mean to tell me that this goof is back?

Tori Montgomery: Look, Frankie, just because you may not care for his gimmick, it doesn't mean that it deserves to be put down. Kids look up to the man!

Frankie Garnett: They need to look up to me!

Bob Sinclair: You're the perfect example of who NOT to look up to, Frankie.

Frankie Garnett: ....

As he emerges from the backstage area, the crowd erupts in cheers at the sight of one of the League's more recognizable members. He strides to the ring with a purpose, throwing his arms in the air as he steps between the ropes and looks out of the crowd assembled on the beach.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds...Nuclear Templeton!

Tori Montgomery: Here's a question for you two. Does anyone else see the irony in having Raaize and Templeton in the same division for the second straight season?

Frankie Garnett: If it means we finally get to see ro-sham-LARRRIIIAAAATOOO, then I approve!

Bob Sinclair: I think it's an interesting choice, Tori. Those two know each other well enough, it should make for an interesting dynamic especially if they team up again at Tag Team Turmoil.

Tori Montgomery: Which, to my understanding, they will.

Frankie Garnett: We have teams already?

Tori Montgomery: Yep.

Frankie Garnett: Damn....

Diamond (0-0, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (0-0, 15%)

Frankie Garnett: But in any event, now we come to the part of the night I've been looking forward to!

Bob Sinclair: Tori, you may want to mute him. I think he's about to offend half our listening audience.

Tori Montgomery: Like he doesn't any other week?

Frankie Garnett: ...that was cold, you two.

Bob Sinclair: In any event....Amelia?

The League's lone female member emerges from backstage to a decidedly mixed reaction. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction while her manager stands outside, also applauding her client.

Amelia Williams: This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond!

Bob Sinclair: Tori, we saw how Phoenix's new manager tried to assist him earlier. Should we expect the same from Jayde here?

Tori Montgomery: More than likely. And with Diamond being a natural heel, I'd expect to see it more often.

Frankie Garnett: Speaking of natural—

Bob Sinclair: Frankie, I'm cutting you off before our censors do.

Spotlights begin to pan over the audience, as if looking for someone. A dim red light shines on the entryway, revealing a hulking figure making his way to ringside. As he nears the ring itself, the spotlights immediately focus on him. He slides under the bottom rope, his orange jumpsuit a stark contrast to most of the clothing in the audience as he turns to face his opponent.

Amelia Williams: Her opponent, from the Orange County Correctional Facility, weighing 289 pounds...Maxx Skabb!

Tori Montgomery: This is probably the one man I would not want to be alone with in The League, guys. I have to give Diamond props for not running the hell away.

Frankie Garnett: And that is why you're not a wrestler, Tori.

Tori Montgomery: Thank goodness for that!

Bob Sinclair: It should be noted, ladies and gents, that Skabb's main finisher is banned from this match under threat of disqualification. We'll see how that affects him here.

Bob Sinclair: Maxx wasn't getting paid by the hour there, he just steamrolled Diamond!

Frankie Garnett: And he didn't even give Jayde a chance to interfere!

Tori Montgomery: Well, I think it's safe to say that losing the Lethal Injection didn't hurt him any....

Tarik Nolan (0-0, 15%) vs. Sean (0-0, 15%)

Frankie Garnett: Yeah, pretty much.

Bob Sinclair: We're still not wasting time here, it's on to the next match of the evening. To the ring we go!

He emerges from backstage, immediately drawing the ire of the crowd as he stands in the entryway, backlit by a clear spotlight. Laughing at the boos hurled in his direction, he takes his time walking to the ring and subsequently entering it for his next match.

Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighing 292 pounds...Tarik Nolan!

Bob Sinclair: Tarik was one of the so-called "Big Three" in the Gamma Division last year, going 10-4 before being bounced early in the playoffs. He's going to be looking to take another from his former division rival here.

Tori Montgomery: After the two matches these two had last season, I cannot wait to see round four between these two.

Frankie Garnett: OK, I'll admit; this one has me interested as well.

Tori Montgomery: Was that so hard?

Frankie Garnett: Yes. Yes it was.

Thanks to a handy bit of dry ice, fog rolls in from the entrance proper as a figure emerges, walking slowly to the ring and mentally preparing for what's ahead of him. He slides in under the bottom rope and walks over to one of the nearby turnbuckles, leaning up against them as Amelia begins to speak.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 230 pounds...Sean!

Bob Sinclair: Sean was the runner-up last season, and was the third-place finisher in season one. Vegas has him as a 1-3 favorite to win it all this season.

Frankie Garnett: And it's fools' money, too. I took Triumph at 2-1 odds, and do not regret it!

Tori Montgomery: Frankie, does everything for you revolve around betting?

Frankie Garnett: Pretty much, yes.

Tori Montgomery: It's a wonder you haven't been arrested yet, then....

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of five minutes and ten seconds...Sean!

Bob Sinclair: Sean putting the rest of the Gamma Division on notice that he does not intend to slow down this season, as he puts Nolan away in a hurry!

Tori Montgomery: If you left the room, folks, you missed it!

Frankie Garnett: I was sitting here and I almost missed it! That's how quick it was!

Scott Stevens (0-0, 14%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (0-0, 18%)

Frankie Garnett: And now it's time for my favorite wrestler in The League to come out!

Tori Montgomery: But Frankie, Phoenix already wrestled tonight.

Frankie Garnett: I'm not talking about him!

Bob Sinclair: Cool it, you two. I don't want to have to separate you.

Emerging from the back without his customary introduction music, the crowd immediately erupts into a loud chorus of jeers as he walks towards the ring, doing everything in his power to egg them on. Finally getting to the ring, he slides under the bottom rope and mockingly salutes the crowd, loving the reaction he is getting.

Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Houston, Texas, weighing 265 pounds..."The Scorpion" Scott Stevens!

Frankie Garnett: I still think this is a travesty that he can't bring his wife to ringside!

Tori Montgomery: Until the Commissioner's Office gets the fee for the managerial license, his hands are tied, Frankie.

Frankie Garnett: Doesn't mean that it's still not fair!

Bob Sinclair: Frankie, remember that Phoenix had to pay for his wife to come to the ring with him. There is precedent.

Frankie Garnett: Lies!

The anticipation draws cheers from crowd before the lone luchador in The League emerges from backstage. His mask is obscured by the dry ice-induced fog billowing around him, and it is a blood-red spotlight that follows him to the ring as he hops over the top rope and paces back and forth, waiting impatiently for the match to begin.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Tijuana, Mexico, weighing 142 pounds...he is El Demonio de Sangre!

Bob Sinclair: Now here is someone who could use a major turnaround this season.

Tori Montgomery: No kidding, Bob. Demonio's the lowest-ranked returning member; he's got nowhere to go but up!

Frankie Garnett: Or face-first into the mat, whichever occurs first.

Ezekial Kerghan (0-0, 19%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-0, 15%)

Frankie Garnett: Oh, so can I leave now?

Bob Sinclair: No, there's one more match left.

Frankie Garnett: Damn.

Tori Montgomery: This should be an intriguing matchup, as we'll finally get to see the League's two new rookies in action against each other.

Bob Sinclair: And there's no time like the present to get started. Let's go to Amelia to get us underway.

The first of the League rookies emerges from backstage, to a mixed reaction as he walks cautiously to the ring, trying to mentally prepare for his debut match.

Amelia Williams: This is our main event of the evening, scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Blackpool, England, weighing 222 pounds...Ian Carlisle!

Tori Montgomery: I mentioned it in the pre-show, but this man reminds me of Scott Stevens in how he approaches his abilities in the ring. He could be a dark horse this season for a playoff run.

Frankie Garnett: I'm not sure I see what's special about him.

Bob Sinclair: Coming from you, Frankie, I'm not shocked.

He comes out onto the entryway, nearly ripping down the curtain as he stares at the ring and his opponent. The crowd almost seem too terrified to boo this man as he storms towards the ring and under the bottom rope.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from The Dog Pound, weighing 251 pounds...Ezekial Kerghan!

Frankie Garnett: Good grief, look at this guy! He makes Freddy Krueger have nightmares!

Bob Sinclair: He does look a bit unsettling, I'll give you that much.

Tori Montgomery: Guys, if you can't find me later, I'm hiding under the table.

Comments on the Last Show

Johnny Triump defeats SGRaaize: Damn, first loss already, I was fairly positive I was gonna win this one too, having a bigger popularity and probably a bigger resillence and strenght, and I was even doing well, but I guess there's a reason why Triumph is the champion, also, if I gotta be defeated decisively, there's no more badass way to be than trying my two finishers, failling both and getting powerslammed and submitted out nowhere. Badass finish.

Robbie Maynard defeats Thor Hammerskald: Wow, what? Very unexpected loss for Thor, he had almost two times more the popularity, also, weird sequence with Thor trying to go for the top and trying to hit a flying move thrice, I guess it didn't matter in the long run but I thought it was weird, I don't remember Thor flying before (I might be having a memory failure, derp).

The Phoenix defeats Sebastian Moore: Not surprised with the result, could have gone either way, loved the match, was cool all the way through, especially how Moore managed to get The Phoenix... outside the ring, I was all like "OH, COME ON".

Nuclear Templeton defeats Super Century: Even after three bad predictions, I knew I was gonna win this one, Nuclear was awesome, no-sold Zero-Grav, did damage and picked Super Century piece by piece, and then destroyed him with the Crucifix Punchan Sequence. All to be expected. A shame it didn't end with the Lariat :(

Maxx Skabb defeats Diamond: As soon as I saw "Skabb's main finisher is banned from this match under threat of disqualification", I was like "Oh boooooy..." If I knew that, I would have predicted Diamond, its a good thing I didn't though, cause this was a badass squash :D

Sean defeats Tarik Nolan: Yep, its confirmed, Sean is Tarik Nolan's kryptonite, badass how Tarik shrugged off the attacks but Sean still easily avoided the counters and took Tarik to the ground for an easy squash over the big man.

Scott Stevens defeats El Demonio de Sangre: El Demonio de Sangre is like those Jobbers at the Japanese Federations, he always fights like a champion, but ends up losing in one way or another, now he needs the Japanese push, where he starts winning every match until he gets to the main event scene :P

Ezekial Kerghan defeats Ian Carlisle: Flipped a coin here, the coin went wrong ;_;

---

Predictions for the Next Show

DELTA DIVISION: El Demonio de Sangre (0-1, 11%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-1, 15%)
I don't see El Demonio de Sangre getting the Japanese Push just yet :P

BETA DIVISION: The Phoenix (1-0, 13%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (1-0, 14%)
Hmm, interesting match up, I bet wrongly against both of these, Ezekial Kerghan has the bigger reputation, but honestly, I still don't know if he has a great build or if he just had a less bad build than Carlisle, while I clearly know that The Phoenix has a good build by seeing it and by seeing the results. So I'l bet on The Phoenix here.

ALPHA DIVISION: Thor Hammerskald (0-1, 18%) vs. Super Century (0-1, 10%)
They never faced before, and while I know Thor Hammerskald disappointed before with a big reputation difference, I think he will win it this week.

GAMMA DIVISION FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Ian Carlisle (0-1, 10%) vs. Maxx Skabb (1-0, 20%)
Maxx Skabb all the way, the way he dominated Diamond was awesome

DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-1, 17%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (1-0, 17%)
Yeah, I'm not gonna say its impossible for me to win this match, but its very unlikely, the record in this match up is 2-1 for Nuclear ATM, and I expect it to be 3-1 by next Sunday.

GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (1-0, 16%) vs. Sean (1-0, 18%)
Always bet on Sean, this match up is 1-0 for Sean, and Sean will win it again.

ALPHA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (1-0, 29%) vs. Tarik Nolan (0-1, 8%)
I expect the same thing to happen the last two times this match happened: 1) Tarik Nolan wins. 2) Its a MOTN. Or I would have, if it wasn't for the fact Johnny Trumph has 21% of reputation over Tarik Nolan. Total squash incoming

BETA DIVISION HARDCORE MATCH: Scott Stevens (1-0, 15%) vs. Diamond (0-1, 23%)
This match up is at 1-1, Scott Stevens had a hard time defeating El Demonio de Sangre and Diamond was totally squashed like a bug... I'm giving it to Scott Stevens, even knowing Diamond has the reputation advantage, because I just think Scott Stevens has the resillence to screw Diamond's ****

Scott Stevens
League House Show, Location Unknown: Locker Room
February 28, 2011, 10:30 p.m. local time

(We open up with a camera man following a local reporter through the halls of the arena in which the League is in town performing on a show for the masses in attendance.)

Reporter: He said take a left at the end of the hotdog stand.

(Turns left.)

Reporter: Here we are.

(The Reporter adjusts his suit and does the old breath check by breathing into his hand and then smelling it before he knocks on the door.)

Wrestler: Enter.

(The reporter makes his way into the locker room and we get a glimpse of the wrestler, that's fixing to be interviewed's, back as he puts on his suit jacket.)

Reporter: We are ready when you are sir.

(The wrestler turns around and it's the one and only.......)

Scorpion: What!?!?!?!? Were you expecting someone else? I think not. Because the megastar of this company is the one everyone should be listening to.

Reporter: First off, congratulations on your first win against El Demonio de Sangre to start off The League's Season 3.

Scorpion: Thank you, but it was a give me match. The so called Devil of Blood stood no chance against this Scorpion because my Holy Christian beliefs were stronger than his demonic and satanic beliefs. It was made clear when my boot burned and imprinted onto his soulless face just like a cross burning a demon's flesh to remind him not to **** with me. After he fell victim to Scorpion's wrath because "God's Wrath" isn't nearly as powerful, he looked up at me and begged me to save him and I whispered no!!!!!!

Reporter: Riiiiiiiight. So it appears you are doing great. All healed up from your injuries from last season?

Scorpion: Yep, my broken back just needed the few months off to heal properly and I've passed all the concussion tests so hopefully that two bit con-man Commissioner Marshall implemented better regulations on concussions so the rest of the roster don't have to go through what I went through.

Reporter: Well that's good for you to say......

Scorpion: I'm just messing with you man. I could care less what happens to these losers because I'm here to make my money and win my championship that I was screwed out of last year and everyone knows it.

Reporter: Not this again.

Scorpion: Don't cover up the truth. My record should have been 8-6, that flaming ****atoo never beat me cleanly. You know it, he knows it, and Marshall knows it. Management purposely kept me out of the playoffs because they didn't want to pay me even more when I would have added their championship into my already enormous collection of title belts.

Reporter: Speaking of the championship, what are your thoughts on current champion Johnny Triumph?

Scorpion: My thoughts on Triumph is that he is a deserving champion, however he is just a transitional champion because that title belongs to me and me alone. Whenever we do meet later this season I will take what is rightfully mine. If the Commish tries to keep me away from it I promise him this, I'll pull an "nWo" on the title after I win it just to you know, "stick it to the man."

Reporter: Well, can I get your thoughts on your other opponents?

Scorpion: Sure, why not.

Reporter: Super Century?

Scorpion: The resident superhero, also the biggest joke of the company. When he cross my path it was like a car running into a brick wall because he was totaled when I was through with him. All I can say is say your prayers, drink your milk, eat your vitamins, kiss the babies, and ride a unicorn and maybe.....just maybe you'll win a match.

Reporter: Ouch. Some harsh statements.

Scorpion: Well the truth hurts and I don't get paid the big bucks to be nice and hold people's hand.

Reporter: Next up is Tarik Nolan.

Scorpion: Next.

Reporter: Ok.

(Looks at roster sheet.)

Reporter: Thor Hammerskald

Scorpion: What can I say, for claiming to be a Norse God he kind of sucks.

Reporter: He's not a God.

Scorpion: Oh!!! Then what is he?

Reporter: He's a Viking.

Scorpion: Well I don't like people from Minnesota.

Reporter: He's not that kind of Viking.

Scorpion: Dude, now you're just confusing me. Whose next?

Reporter: Ezekial "ACE" Kerghan.

Scorpion: Who?

Reporter: He's a rookie and he's a hardcore specialist apparently.

Scorpion: Hardcore specialist? Please, the only thing hardcore this curtain jerker has ever done is get a paper cut from wiping his ass too hard from some cheap toilet paper. Unlike this loser, I embody all that is hardcore, and if you disagree my dvds say otherwise. So Ezekial go back to the hardware store you came from before this righteous man sets his sights on you and and I strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger and then and only then you will know my name is Scorpion when I lay my sting into thee.

Reporter: Getting religious now are we?

Scorpion: Just speaking from the soul man.

Reporter: Ian Carlisle.

Scorpion: Another jobber who some skank, who will remain nameless, compared to me. Let me set the record straight, I'm unique and one of a kind. No one can do what I do. Sure this guy can try and be like me but he will never be me.

Reporter: Any comments for the nameless woman you mentioned?

Scorpion: Yes, Skanky, I was going to be a man and squash our silly little beef but you just couldn't resist talking more smack could you? You see I may be a jack of all trades but I'm a master in the art of kicking ass. So get your ear plugs ready because my praises will be heard loud and clear all season long.

Reporter: Sean.

Scorpion: He is like the Buffalo Bills. He gets hot, makes the playoffs, gets to the championship and does what he does best and that is choke.

Reporter: Robbie Maynard.

Scorpion: To be honest I want to avoid him as much as possible because unlike his performance last year would suggest I suspect he will be a major player this season.

Reporter: What makes you think that?

Scorpion: I heard from my friend, whose cousin knows a guy who knows Joey Numbers who knows a guy who knows his trainer and he said he had completely changed up his approach and everything.

Reporter: And that is "reliable" information?

Scorpion: The best.

(rolls eyes.)

Reporter: Next up is SGRaaize.

Scorpion: Better off playing DJ than wrestling.

Reporter: Sebastian Moore.

Scorpion: The man many say was the pick of Season 2. I beg to differ.

Reporter: What about Maxx Skabb?

Scorpion: What about him?

Reporter: Your thoughts?

Scorpion: What can I say? He's a convict on a work release program that I'm going to shank with my shiv and send him back to Riker's Island in a body bag.

Reporter: Nuclear Templeton.

Scorpion: First off, the only thing "nuclear" about this guy was the explosive diarrhea he was dropping after he drank the water and ate the unpasteurized diary products in Mexico. The radioactive meter was definitely registering high when you passed by his room because the smell was peeling the paint right off the wall. Hope he learned his lesson so next time we can be saved from his "atomic bombs."

Reporter: Next up is Phoenix and his wife Te'Snilo Bradenbury.

Scorpion: What can I say to the buzzard that he doesn't already know. He knows he didn't beat me last year and he can't beat me this season. No medical dqs will stop me for what I have in store for you this season, mark my words fat man.

Reporter: Any for his lovely wife?

Scorpion: Yes. Don't think of interfering in the match because if you do you will end up just like every other woman who's tried to "man up" and make a name off me. You saw what happened to Diamond didn't you? You don't want to end up like her do you? So stick to what you know best and that's supplying your dough boy husband with steroids and rigging the tests so he can come out positive and that's it. If you cross me you will end up getting F-U-B-A-Red I promise you.

Reporter: Speaking of Diamond, anything final comments to your opponent next week?

Scorpion: Diamond, sweetie, I told you last season that you shouldn't be doing this and I guess I have to prove my point again and remind you that your place is in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. The bright side is that if I want a blood diamond I don't have to travel to Sierra Leone to get them, I can just pound you into mush until you bleed like a stuck pig.

Reporter: Well there you have it folks strong words from the always confident and ****y Scorpion this is....

Scorpion: One last thing. Frankie my man, the wife says hey and you should swing by this weekend for a BBQ we are having at the house and tell Sinclair I said he can kiss it. Oh and Amelia, the wifey and I will meet you at the hotel around 1 am.

(Scorpion winks into the camera.)

Reporter: Oh, before I forget would you like to address certain rumors going around the locker room?

Scorpion: What rumors would those be?

Reporter: That two people from your past may be signing a deal with the federation in the future.

Scorpion: Really? And which two individuals would these be?

Reporter: We have no idea, that's why I'm asking you.

Scorpion: News to me but the fact is it doesn't matter who it is because they will all feel my sting if they sign that dotted line. Last I heard of Sheridan he went "A-WoL" and was in a federale prison. Driver was still getting high and talking to a video game character whose a giant yellow ball that eats ghosts. Oakston was still getting pinned and paid. Kraven was big pimpin in Vegas. The Red Freak was playing gangster in his mom's basement in Omaha. Darkstone was locking himself in a dark room, listening to bad emo music and cutting himself. Deacon died in a plane crash over the Amazon apparently. And Creed just faded into obscurity after his MMA movie career fizzled.

Reporter: What about that it could be your brothers joining?

Scorpion: Ha! I don't think the short bus can cross state lines so George is screwed and that ungrateful, bastard Richard knows better not to show up. He thinks he's better than the family and doesn't have to pay his dues. After all I did for his spoiled ass and for him to turn around and burn me like that just know little brother you have an ass kicking awaiting you if you show up because it's not Gen Me Me Me like you think it is. It's more of the you bit the hand that fed you and you must pay for it.

This is the life, This is what I love to do.
Am I upset to losing To Ezekial "ACE" Kerghan, of course but that's wrestling, it was my first match ever, and he has the exprience edge over me.

So Scott Stevens, you say that I can not do what you can do , but Scotty boy I can do anything you can do. Where you get off on slandering Tori Montgemory is one thing I will never know, she doing her level best to be fair , and if you can not be a better man , then maybe I will have to something about it.

But that's the future , next week I have got Maxx Skabb in a First Blood Match , and I have seen the numbers , noone give me much of a chance of beating Him, but anything can happen in professional wrestling. But rest assured I will be ready and willing to be what it takes to win.

All right, folks, a little bit of heads-up here.

Due to recent changes in my normal weekend plans, I will be moving the show to Monday nights, starting with the Week Two show.

I have another writing project that requires my attention tonight, so I will be unable to get pages updated unless I get on a major roll and get everything done before Raw is halfway over tonight. Thus, the plan is to have character pages and the week two pre-show posted by tomorrow evening to allow for training and such to be done.

I will post revised deadlines when I post the pre-show. I do have one request--if you're not going to spend your training cash because you're saving up for something or would rather wait to apply it to more points in a skill at once, I would appreciate it if you let me know ahead of time, so I can run matches as pairings complete their training/lack thereof each week. Any situations that I already know about (you know who you are) have already been taken into consideration, and will continue until I hear otherwise from you.

You can (obviously) change your mind and spend points before deadline, as that would mean I'd simply have to re-run a match again, but the earlier I can get matches done, the better (especially on these alternate weeks where I have other duties that require my attention).

I apologize for any inconvenience.

Lisa Stevens
Location Unknown: Hotel Room
March 1, 2011, 9:00 a.m. local time

(We open up to the lovely Lisa Stevens rocking the ever so comfy sweat pants with the towel wrapped around her hair look while sipping on a cup of Joe while surfing the Internet on her neon pink laptop. She is checking various sites and when she finishes with those she goes to The League's main web page and sees an article with the title, "Ian Carlisle calls out Scorpion.")

Lisa: Hmmmmmmmmm. This should be interesting.

(She clicks on the link and begins reading. After she gets done reading it she takes a sip of her coffee and smirks a little before she turns on the web cam to record a response.)

Lisa: Ian, Ian, Ian. Since you don't know my husband personally and since you are a nameless nobody you will refer to him as Scorpion or Mr. Stevens in future references. Now that little tid bit is out of the way we can address the subject at hand. You see Ian, you aren't even worth my husband's time. He's off getting things in order for later so he can take me out on the town and treat me like the queen I am. In the mean time I will address you myself. You say you can do anything my husband does, however last week you proved you couldn't "man up" to the task. You see he won his match because that's what he does and that is win because he was born a winner. You on the other hand lost and proves the fact you will always be a loser when comparing yourself to the greatness that is Scott Stevens. About that so called threat you through out there.

(Lisa chuckles a bit.)

Lisa: If you want to be Skanky's knight in shining armor so be it. It will just cause you to be in a world of pain in the future kid. That little hussy has been bad mouthing us since the day we set foot into this company because she didn't like our attitude. Well, when you are this good and can back up what you say it is kind of hard not to have an attitude that rubs people the right way. If the tramp would only keep her mouth we wouldn't say anything but no she just keeps on yapping which is why we responded back because if you continue to play with Fyre you are bound to get burned and she just keeps throwing gas on the fire so to speak. Wave her colors and fight for her honor when you face Scott and we will proudly make you suffer for sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. We will use you as a perfect example to everyone who might have a problem with us.

(Lisa reaches over and turns the web cam off and uploads the video to the website.)

So I started writing a little role work, where Maxx was gonna laugh at Stevens, and mock his opponent, but when I started writing, a new idea was born. So depending on if this works, I may make it my weekly thing. And if not, the only thing lost is the 3 1/2 minutes it took to conjure up this banner. And if it does work, and you enjoy it, I can continue, working in ways for Flogg to interact with your characters. Which will never be done without permission and consent on what will be posted.

I should also note that the views expressed by Joshua Flogg (who I assume doesn't exist, but if he does, I apologize for what I'm about to do to your name) are in no way related to the views of Maxx Skabb, his handler Prophet, or the League as a whole. :p I put this in, because while I try to be a bit crass, I, in no way, mean any disrespect, and hope that the pompous jerk that Flogg is portrayed as, shows idiocy more than malice. [I should also note, if you don't like anything said, let me know, and I'll remove it.]

So, without further ado, I present the inaugural edition of ...

http://i.imgur.com/dAosF.jpg

[The screen washes with static, before fizzling into a crudely created animation, touting the “hottest wrestling show to ever hit the interwebs!” After listening to a midi version of Johnny Triumph's theme song “Ecstasy of Gold” plays, the graphics melt away to what looks like a messy dorm room. A frazzled headed portly young man sits in front of the webcam, with a poster of Nuclear Templeton hung over his left shoulder, and a slightly more provocative one of Diamond over his right. He smiles a wide toothy smile, and brushes his Beiber bangs from his eyes, before clearing his throat.]

Young Internet Fan: “Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome, once again, to the hottest wrestling show to ever hit the internet, The Flogg Splash! I am your ever ready host with the most, the cream of the crop, who never wants to stop, and all the ladies want on … speed dial? Anyway, I'm Joshua Flogg! And we are in for a treat. Not only will I be giving my thoughts on the first show of season three of The League … I can't believe it's back already! Oh, I also got a video of my interview with Maxx Skabb. Yes, THAT Maxx Skabb! Can you believe it?! So Floggers and Bloggers, it's time to dive into the deep end of the pool with ...”

[As his voice trails away, a horrible rendition of “Wipeout” by the Sufari's begins to play, as an amateur animation of a tidal wave crashing against the words of “Splash Down”. As the words are washed away by the jittery water, the view focuses back to Joshua Flogg, still smiling, as he finishes downing a can of Mountain Dew.]

Flogg: “That's right, it's time for Splash Down, where we discuss all the goings on in the world of wrestling. And nothing is more important than the premiere of season three of the League! What a great show! Match of the night, by far, was the venomous Scott Stevens taking out El Demonio de Sangre, and it was great to see the champ in action again. I'm still not sure what to make of Tori Montgomery being a part of the announce team, though. I mean, what are her credentials? What does she know about wrestling? If I'd known that the League wanted to add a third voice, I'd have submitted my name, and given Frankie the air time that he so desperately deserves.

I've also heard rumors that there's wheelings and dealings going on in the locker room, for the upcoming Tag Team Turmoil. I don't know any details yet, but count on this, Floggers … I'll know before anyone else does. There's also a rumor of possible candidates for season four, and although unconfirmed, I've heard that one of those incoming will be … the Giant Redwood! That's right, you've heard it here first!

Now, onto the more impressive matters. When I first tweeted the news that I got a one on one face time with a legend of the League, you Floggers went crazy! Some of you guessed it was Phoenix at a buffet, or Super Century at the Hall of Weirdos! Instead, I ran into former criminal turned psychopathic wrestler Maxx Skabb training for his first blood match with rookie Ian Carlisle … right here in Omaha! Let's take a look!

[The screen blurs with a black and white image that reads “Flogg-sclusive!” before fading into a video of the familiar con man working over a heavy bag in a dingy gymnasium. Behind him hangs a corkboard, with head shots of all the other members of the League, with Diamond's looking very different from the others. Hers has a large red X through the photo. And above the photos is a small plaque that simply reads “victims”. Flogg can be heard giggling, as he holds up his cell phone, the grainy image of Skabb laying lefts and rights into the weighted punching bag, becoming larger. Finally, Flogg stops moving, and before tittering to himself once more, clears his throat.]

Flogg: “Oh Emm Gee, you're Maxx Skabb! Can I get your autograph?”

[Maxx slowly turns his head towards the interruption, his teeth gritted, and his body covered in sweat. Without saying a word, he pivots towards the young man, who almost squeals with delight, and as Maxx looms ever closer, Flogg's elation can clearly be heard deflating to terror. He begins to back up, as Skabb growls at him, and before long, the slightly tubby young collegiate is running full boar away from Skabb. He hits the grimy glass door, and tumbles as he escapes the gym, only to land in a seated position on the curb. As he catches his breath, he turns the camera phone towards his face, his big toothy grin once again shining through, before mouthing the words “that … was … awesome!” The video then turns to static, before shuffling the viewer back to the depressing dorm room.]

Flogg: “Tell me that wasn't awesome, Floggers! Now, due to time restraints, my interview with Maxx couldn't go for as long as I would've liked, but I'm sure I'll get another opportunity with the intense convict. Onto our final piece of business, it's time for Floggstomping!”

[Another horribly done graphic appears on the screen, this time simulating the classic video game Frogger. As the frog gets halfway across the road, a car hits it, and bursts into flames, before the word Floggstomping appears.]

Flogg: “That's right, it's time for my weekly picks for the next show of the League. And as always, these are picks you can take to the bank!”

First, we have El Demonio de Sangre vs. Sebastian Moore, and following the brutal contest of last week, I can't imagine Sangre is in any position to put up a fight. Moore wins it, but the real losers are the people who have to sit through this as an opening contest.

Next, The Phoenix vs. Ezekial Kerghan, and I'm sure the rookie will come ready to fight. And I'm quickly becoming a fan of Kerghan's. However, I don't see how it's possible he can compete with Squeamix, unless he throws a chicken bone out of the ring for a count out victory.

Thor Hammerskald vs. Super Century … this isn't a match, this is a giant Norse man beating the tar out of a kid in his underoos.

Ian Carlisle vs. Maxx Skabb is next on the card, and while Carlisle may want to see the silver lining of things, it'll be hard when Maxx cracks his skull open like a melon ball.

SGRaaize vs. Nuclear Templeton, also known as “the Battle of the Lariatos!” My money is on the one from Jersey to beat his Portuguese doppleganger, in what should be a bathroom break for anyone smart.

Robbie Maynard vs. Sean follows, and I've heard all this hooplah that Maynard is poised to make a return to greatness this season. I just don't see it. A Sean victory pushes Maynard one step closer to wrestling oblivion.

Following that, we get to our first of two main events! Johnny Triumph vs. Tarik Nolan, and people, there should be no question who will win this one. Tarik is strong, sure. But he's facing off against the greatest champion in the history of ever! EVER! There's no doubt that Triumph will come out on top, and he continues on his path to the perfect season!

Scott Stevens vs. Diamond rounds out the show in what would be match of the night, on any evening when Triumph wasn't wrestling. This pick pains me, because I like Stevens. A lot. I mean, he's no Johnny, but he's got the look, he's got the drive, and the man wrestled with a broken back! That's heart. The one thing he is missing that Diamond has, though, is the one thing that keeps me from picking him. Booblies!

[Flogg unconsciously flickers his eyes over his right shoulder towards the poster, revealing that perverted side that he tries to hide, but epically fails to do so. He quickly looks back to the camera, once again smiling wide.]

Flogg: "That's it for this edition of the Flogg Splash, and as always, I'm ...”

[As Joshua Flogg tries to state his supposedly humorous sign off, there's a knock at the door, before the sound of hinges can be heard. This is quickly followed by the sounds of giggling, and what can only be described as wet suction cups being stuck together. Finally, a burly individual with a University of Omaha letterman jacket pops his head into frame.]

Roommate: “Get lost nerd, this room is occupied!”

[Flogg ties to speak up, but is quickly pushed aside by the future NFLer. As the young video blogger tries to weakly protest his ousting, a large hand palms the camera lens, shutting down this weeks edition of the Flogg Splash.]

Walking out of a boutique the ladies are stopped by a reporter.

Reporter: Diamond can I have a word or two with you?

Diamond: Yeah sure.

Reporter: How are things after that loss to Skabb last week?

Diamond: Well I'm not thrilled. If you ask me that guy is kinda scary. He got the better....

Jade: Diamond has nothing more to say on the matter. Any further questions about her last match are off limits or this interview is over.

Reporter: Okay. How about the comments directed towards your entertainment?

Diamond: Looking shocked Huh?

Reporter: At least two folks have made comments about your... fidgeting for a moment, then motions towards Diamonds chest. That.

Diamond: Laughs. Oh that. That doesn't bother me. They clearly don't see those much. Anyway I heard the one comment about me being just a bit more entertaining because I have boobies, I believe ts the term used? Are these boys like 12 or something? Plus Nuclear if that were the case wouldn't Stevens be more entertaining. He clearly has Moobs. Diamond and Jade bust out laughing while the reporter goes white in the face.

Reporter: Is it wise to get on Stevens bad side so close to your match with him?

Diamond: Oh please, from what I hear the only thing "hardcore" about the guy is his lack of a sense of humor. Seriously though. He got lucky in the second match we had. I kicked his ass so hard the first time it made his wifey cry. Anyway I'm done here. All I can tell you is we are going to party till we drop, then I'm going to drop Stevens like a lead balloon.

Both ladies walk away while the reporter stares in amusement.

:D

Loved it. You can use my character any time man. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Why thank you. I'm hoping, in time, once I get a better idea of how to display his obnoxious idiocy, it'll flow a bit smoother. Felt this edition was a bit disjointed. About time the League got a member of the IWC on it's side, though. :p

The two biggest things that can come from the Flogg Splash are Tori ripping this punk kid on the air, and Johnny being introduced as the greatest champion in the history of ever! EVER! whenever he comes to the ring. lol

And I greatly appreciate it, Jman. I'm already formulating an idea, if all goes well, I can have you look over it during the weekend.

...Tori ripping this punk kid on the air...

Tori Montgomery: Why should I acknowledge some schmuck who thinks he knows more than I do just because he reads "dirt sheets" and is saving himself for Honey Golightly? Get past puberty, and then we'll talk.

(OOC: Though depending on how things go, Tori might have to bring this guy on in week fourteen just to show him how professionals run their video blogs. :))

Serious portion of the post here. I'm aiming to have all pages updated by 10:00 pm EST tonight, and have the week two pre-show posted by then. It's already written, just a simple copy and paste job is all it will take. I want to make sure I have pages updated first, though, before posting the pre-show.

Season Three, Week Two
February 28, 2011

http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae344/ShadowedFlames/GDS%20League%20Stuff/BeyondRingsideBanner.jpg

With one week in the books, The League continues with its third season as we head into the heartland of America! Hello again, wrestling fans! If the first week of this season is any indication of things to come, the next fifteen weeks should be quite entertaining.

I've heard mixed reviews about my new position as secondary color commentator for The League, though the majority seem to have taken it very well. One person, who has followed my work over the last fifteen years I've been covering wrestling, stated that I seemed to be a natural fit, and was thankful for having someone be a foil to Mr. Garnett. While I certainly enjoyed myself last week, we'll see how things progress over the coming months, shall we?

In any case, it's time for a quick review of the standings and stats, as has become tradition here at Beyond Ringside.

DIVISIONAL STANDINGS: AFTER WEEK ONE

Because there have been no divisional matches yet, the tie-breaker order is Average Match Rating (AMR), then season earnings. If both of those are identical, a tie is the result—at least for this week. Keep that in mind when you look over the standings below.

ALPHA DIVISION
1. Johnny Triumph (1-0, 0.000 AMR)
2. Super Century (0-1, 1.000 AMR)
3. Tarik Nolan (0-1, 0.000 AMR)
4. Thor Hammerskald (0-1, 0.000 AMR)

BETA DIVISION
1. Scott Stevens (1-0, 8.000 AMR)
2. Ezekial Kerghan (1-0, 4.000 AMR)
3. The Phoenix (1-0, 2.000 AMR)
4. Diamond (0-1, 0.000 AMR)

GAMMA DIVISION
T-1. Maxx Skabb (1-0, 0.000 AMR)
T-1. Sean (1-0, 0.000 AMR)
3. Robbie Maynard (1-0, 0.000 AMR)
4. Ian Carlisle (0-1, 4.000 AMR)

DELTA DIVISION
1. Nuclear Templeton (1-0, 1.000 AMR)
2. El Demonio de Sangre (0-1, 8.000 AMR)
3. Sebastian Moore (0-1, 2.000 AMR)
4. SGRaaize (0-1, 0.000 AMR)

CHANGES IN POPULARITY: MEXICO—WEST CENTRAL

This will be done slightly differently from last season. Instead of grouping by increase/decrease or by ending popularity, all wrestlers will be sorted by name, making it easier in theory to find how your favorite wrestler fared last week.

Diamond: 15.0000 -> 11.9120
El Demonio de Sangre: 18.0000 -> 19.5020
Ezekial Kerghan: 19.0000 -> 21.1600
Ian Carlisle: 15.0000 -> 14.2027
Johnny Triumph: 6.0000 -> 5.6440
Maxx Skabb: 15.0000 -> 15.0380
Nuclear Templeton: 15.0000 -> 15.3200
Robbie Maynard: 9.0000 -> 7.0393
Scott Stevens: 14.0000 -> 18.8980
Sean: 15.0000 -> 14.7215
Sebastian Moore: 15.0000 -> 12.4000
SGRaaize: 9.0000 -> 5.7060
Super Century: 15.0000 -> 12.1800
Tarik Nolan: 15.0000 -> 11.6285
The Phoenix: 15.0000 -> 15.2667
Thor Hammerskald: 16.0000 -> 11.1607

THE LEAGUE'S RUMOR MILL

Having come off a two-week hiatus, naturally the rumors are going to be flying as to what some of the League members did during their time off. Keep in mind that I do not proclaim any of these to be true, these are just the rumors floating around the Internet chat boards and forums dedicated to The League, as well as less-than-reputable video blogs that I am subjected to watching on occasion.

We start this week in London, England, where it was rumored that an altercation between Robbie Maynard and Ian Carlisle led to a soccer riot in which 193 people were injured and close to £400,000 in damages were accrued. The sad part is that this was during a "friendly" exhibition match. Those UK folk sure take their football seriously.

Here in the States, it was said that close to two thousand were in attendance for a victory parade in Johnny Triumph's honor the week after the season officially ended. The thing that I find a bit humorous is that the next day, close to a foot of snow was dumped on Des Moines, effectively bringing the city to a halt as crews worked to clear the roadways.

Rumors come from the Lone Star State of Texas that at least two more wrestlers have been approached by League officials in regards to joining The League for season four. There has been no word yet as to their responses. Commissioner Colt Marshall, after being asked about this possibility, stated that plans are in place for setting up an eighteen-person schedule or two that would be acceptable to League offices, and would not give any hints as to the identities of said new entrants.

Staying in Texas for the moment, a source close to the Stevens household has reported that Scott Stevens' claims of a broken back and post-concussion syndrome were merely ploys to garner attention. This source, who spoke to me on terms of anonymity, said that they had overheard Stevens telling his wife that "playing the injured card is likely going to help my chances of making the playoffs," something which ultimately never came to fruition last season.

Finally, a report from the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City states that Nuclear Templeton was instrumental in throwing out a drunken patron who attempted to assault a police officer during a night of gambling. The man thrown out was later arrested on drunken driving charges.

COUNTDOWN TO TAG TEAM TURMOIL
Never mind that we're almost two months away yet from this mid-season special event; we already have four teams confirmed for the event! Brackets will not be posted until we get closer to the show itself, but so far the following teams are confirmed for the tournament:

"Norse Code:" Maxx Skabb and Thor Hammerskald
"Team LARIATO:" Nuclear Templeton and SGRaaize
Diamond and Ezekial Kerghan
And finally, a last-minute addition just before I came on-air: Scott Stevens and Super Century.

With the possible combinations of the remaining eight wrestlers (Phoenix, Nolan, Carlisle, Demonio, Sean, Triumph, Moore, and Maynard), I can envision some interesting teams coming. We'll see in the coming weeks which pairs will form up and look for tag team glory.

BY THE NUMBERS
Making its (occasional) return is this feature, wherein we take an aspect of in-ring ability and rank the top five current League members in it.

This week, we're going back to basics.

LEAGUE LEADERS: BASICS
1. The Phoenix
2. El Demonio de Sangre
3. Diamond
4. Tarik Nolan
5. Sean

LEAGUE LEADERS: PSYCHOLOGY
1. Robbie Maynard
2. The Phoenix
3. Sebastian Moore
4. Sean
5. Ian Carlisle

PREDICTION CENTRAL

Remember, this season features a slightly different way of keeping score for the season-long predictions contest.

Four people ended up with six correct picks, but it was Miss moon_lit_tears who made them count the most, as she holds a slim margin over second place. Below are the full standings, with seventeen people involved in predictions last week—a Beyond Ringside record.

Maximum points available this week: 23.80

1. moon_lit_tears: 12.06 points, 6 total picks correct.
2. I Effin Rule: 11.72 points, 6 total picks correct.
T-3. Jman2k3: 9.94 points, 6 total picks correct.
T-3. masterded: 9.94 points, 6 total picks correct.
5. Tori Montgomery: 9.34 points, 4 total picks correct.
6. Ian Carlisle: 8.52 points, 5 total picks correct.
7. SeanMcG: 8.39 points, 5 total picks correct.
8. Ranson: 8.05 points, 5 total picks correct.
9. MichiganHero: 7.94 points, 5 total picks correct.
10. Prophet: 7.47 points, 5 total picks correct.
11. Jaded: 7.21 points, 3 total picks correct.
12. SGRaaize: 7.10 points, 4 total picks correct.
13. Wrestling Century: 6.50 points, 4 total picks correct.
14. GruntMark: 6.40 points, 4 total picks correct.
15. Comradebot: 6.05 points, 4 total picks correct.
16. Derek B: 5.92 points, 4 total picks correct.
17. Dangrel: 3.43 points, 2 total picks correct.

Omaha, Nebraska's Qwest Center hosts The League this week, and after the lightning-fast pace of the matches last week, I expect this week to show us more of what we can expect from the wrestlers this season.

WEEK TWO: OMAHA, NEBRASKA (US—Mid West)
(Sports Entertainment style match, American Style crowd, ref bumps allowed)

DELTA DIVISION: El Demonio de Sangre (0-1, 11%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-1, 15%)
(Career Series: Sebastian Moore, 1 - 0)
It was almost four months ago that Moore notched a win against Demonio in Ontario. Both men will be looking to get back on track in this one. The early betting line in Vegas has Moore a decided favorite (1-4 against Demonio's 5-1), but I think it is with good reason. Unless Demonio has something we've yet to see from him, I think Moore has his number yet again.
Tori's Pick: Sebastian Moore, 9:50, D

BETA DIVISION: The Phoenix (1-0, 13%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (1-0, 14%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
A lot of people I've talked to since the first show aired seem to think highly of Kerghan, but he's going up against one of last season's juggernauts. I don't care how psychotic you are, Phoenix has proven last season and so far in this one that he is ready for anything. I see this one going a short while, but the big man climbs to 2-0 with a win here.
Tori's Pick: The Phoenix, 13:20, C+

ALPHA DIVISION: Thor Hammerskald (0-1, 18%) vs. Super Century (0-1, 10%)
(Career Series: First meeting)
Century comes in with a 7-1 line in early betting in Vegas, clearly the underdog in this match. Thor's shown some iffy choices during his League tenure (notably last week and the minute or so he took to land a top rope move), but I'm giving him the nod based solely on the size difference alone.
Tori's Pick: Thor Hammerskald, 9:40, C-

GAMMA DIVISION FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Ian Carlisle (0-1, 10%) vs. Maxx Skabb (1-0, 20%)
(Career Series: First Meeting
Career in First Blood matches: Carlisle: 0-0 ; Skabb: 0-0)
The young rookie has a steep task ahead of him in the form of Maxx Skabb. He has only one hope, though, and that is that Skabb has demonstrated in the past that he can be busted open easily—I don't have it brought up in front of me, but I think he holds the unofficial League record for being busted open the fastest. I'm going against the grain and picking the huge underdog in an upset here.
Tori's Pick: Ian Carlisle, 22:00, A

DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-1, 17%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (1-0, 17%)
(Career Series: Nuclear Templeton, 2 - 1)
This will be the fourth meeting of these two, after splitting last season's series. Both men seem to have improved greatly since their last match in Week Eight of last season, and I for one will be looking forward to what happens here. As much as I'd like to take Templeton here, I think Raaize has a few surprises in store this time around, and I think he shocks Nuclear with something totally unexpected.
Tori's Pick: SGRaaize, 15:20, B+

GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (1-0, 16%) vs. Sean (1-0, 18%)
(Career Series: Sean, 1 - 0)*
The asterisk here denotes that these two have met in post-season play—in this instance, the Season One Consolation match, which Sean won. Is the third time the charm? Quite possibly so. Predicting another upset here, as I think Maynard is the real deal this season.
Tori's Pick: Robbie Maynard, 13:40, B-

ALPHA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (1-0, 29%) vs. Tarik Nolan (0-1, 8%)
(Career Series: Tarik Nolan, 2 - 0)*
If you count the playoffs, though, Tarik only has a 2-1 advantage, as he was Triumph's first victim last postseason. I'm not entirely sold on the fact that Triumph was the better man that day, as Tarik seemed a bit off before coming to the ring in Brazil. I think Triumph's championship defense hits a speed bump here, as Nolan continues his regular season dominance of Triumph despite being at such a popularity disadvantage.
Tori's Pick: Tarik Nolan, 29:20, A*

BETA DIVISION HARDCORE MATCH: Scott Stevens (1-0, 15%) vs. Diamond (0-1, 23%)
(Career Series: Tied, 1 – 1
Career in hardcore matches: Stevens 0-0 ; Diamond 1-1)
Stevens has gone on record saying that he feels he is the better man in this matchup. Of course he would say that, as he's the only man in it. However, early betting has him as a underdog, though the wagers are very nearly even. This week, I think Jayde gets involved, and Stevens stares at the lights as Diamond picks up the pin.

On a related note, I refuse to answer any questions regarding Stevens' comments directed supposedly at me during his last interview. My official stance, when it comes to Stevens, is to simply say "no comment."
Tori's Pick: Diamond, 14:10, B

Next week is the last week of relative warmth for a while, as we stay in the southern US. But until then, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

DELTA DIVISION: El Demonio de Sangre (0-1, 11%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-1, 15%)
BETA DIVISION: The Phoenix (1-0, 13%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (1-0, 14%)
ALPHA DIVISION: Thor Hammerskald (0-1, 18%) vs. Super Century (0-1, 10%)
GAMMA DIVISION FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Ian Carlisle (0-1, 10%) vs. Maxx Skabb (1-0, 20%)
DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-1, 17%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (1-0, 17%)
GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (1-0, 16%) vs. Sean (1-0, 18%)
ALPHA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (1-0, 29%) vs. Tarik Nolan (0-1, 8%)
BETA DIVISION HARDCORE MATCH: Scott Stevens (1-0, 15%) vs. Diamond (0-1, 23%)

Besides, right now the once-a-season thing makes the tag team event special and thus people are looking forward to it already and angling for teams. Afraid we'd lose that if we did a tag division/tag only season.

The League is proud to present a Special Report with Tori Montgomery

*The camera opens on a broad field, surrounded by trees. A lone figure in the distance is moving near a large rock, but it's hard to make out what's going on. The crew trudges through the waist-high weeds, approaching the figure.*

Tori (off camera): "I can't believe I had to drag myself all the way out to West Virginia, especially to a place that doesn't even have roads, much less dirt ones. Not to mention the airport on top of a mountain and the three-hour drive before we had to walk out here..."

*The figure in the distance notices the camera and raises a hand in recognition. Getting closer, we see that it is Thor Hammerskald, who is apparently beating a four-foot diameter boulder with a sledgehammer of some sort. He waits until they are close enough to speak.*

"Ja, Tori. I did not expect to see you here. Or anyone, really. I am surprised you found this place."

"Well, Thor, the League tells me toget an interview, and I get it."

"I understand. I assume, because you are here, that Mr. Marshall thought my rock would make a good story? Ha! I think he is right." Thor grins a wide, proud grin.

"That's what he told me." Tori seems very, very tired, visibly slouching on camera.

Thor looks off into space, as if reading the memory off of a high wall. "Well, then, you shall have it! It began in Oslo, when I attended a timber sport competition; you may have seem them on the high-er numbered sports channels. The men climb poles, roll logs, and chop through huge blocks of wood. It was the chopping that fascinated me; only a true warrior could wield an axe in such a way." Thor absentmindedly tosses the hammer back and forth in his hands.

"How so? Men use axes all the time."

"Not like this! They drive through huge blocks of wood in mere seconds, often standing on the very block they are chopping, risking their very limbs with their skill! One warrior stood out above the others, his speed and power unmatched; he was jokingly referred to as "The Vanilla Gorilla". I found out from the regular attendees that he was not even a professional; he had been, once, but this was now a hobby for him. And yet, he won, again and again! I determined to meet him!"

Tori looks vaguely more interested, but not much. "How did that turn out?"

Thor grins, a look the League fans have rarely seen. It's a little psychotic. "After the competition, we talked. I found he came from a long line of lumberjacks, and bore the name Arden Cogar, Junior*. He had chopped most of his life, but now practiced law in his home state of West Virginia, USA. His family had long been champions of their craft. I told him I sought the speed, power and precision he possessed."

As the story gets more depth, Tori's eyes light up more and more. "Did he agree to train you?"

Thor nods. "I am here, am I not. He told me of how his father trained him. As a youth, he went to his father and said, 'I want to chop'. 'First,' his father said, 'you must gain the strength to chop. Then I will teach you the ways of the axe'."

Now Tori grins. "I suspect the language was a bit less flowery, from a West Virginia Lumberjack."

Thor grins in return. "Perhaps. 'Skald', as in my name, does mean one who is a poet and storyteller. Some license may be present. In any case, the elder Cogar had delivered a boulder six feet across. He then handed his son a hammer, and said, 'When this boulder is naught but gravel, then I will teach you the chop.' And he did."

"Tori looks to Thor's own stone. "I see you seem to be following the same plan."

Again, Thor grins. "This is true. Whenever I compete in the USA, I come here to train. Arden saw to it that I, too, started with a two-meter boulder. Now it is close to half that. Soon, I will learn to chop. And, now, I must continue. I hope you find your way back out safely, Tori. It is getting dark." He turns, and begins again to swing at the boulder.

Tori, making the cut motion to the camera ,"Great story, let's get out of here. There's too much wildlife for my tastes..."

__________________________________________________ _______

* All names are used fictitiously, though that is pretty much the way the Cogar family trains. Impressive people, if you get a chance to watch them.

WEEK TWO TEASERS:

This week's Match of the Night runs just over 16 minutes, and features the winner escaping not one, but two finishing moves....
One of the specialty matches ending in a way we have yet to see in the previous two seasons of The League...
An equal number of "upsets" and "expected wins;" I'll leave you to figure out which is which....
And finally, someone sets a predictions game record. What that record is, I'm not telling you. You'll have to find out tomorrow night!

Okay, I believe I am involved in two of these ... where I set the record by getting every match wrong ... TWICE!

And Maxx loses his first blood match by getting frustrated, and headbutting the ring post, thus turning his face to a "crimson mask" (Thanks Gordon!) and losing his first blood match. Ooh, idea! *Runs off to book a TEW match.* :p

WEEK TWO TEASERS:
This week's Match of the Night runs just over 16 minutes, and features the winner escaping not one, but two finishing moves....
One of the specialty matches ending in a way we have yet to see in the previous two seasons of The League...
An equal number of "upsets" and "expected wins;" I'll leave you to figure out which is which....
And finally, someone sets a predictions game record. What that record is, I'm not telling you. You'll have to find out tomorrow night!

Upset = Squeamix getting sent to sleep by the best psycho in The League. Sorry Maxx. Come back and see me if you beat Carlisle.

lol, poor SF, saddled with that horrid taunt name. But yay for it sticking!

As for the other part, I have a feeling that may make mention during this weeks Flogg Splash. (Where I'll probably bury Maxx, until he cries in the corner of the locker room ... waitaminute ...!)

Well, folks, turns out that it's not Prophet's fault after all. My entire wireless network has decided to take a crap on me.

I'm posting this via phone from the top floor of where I live (so I can get wireless phone/3G signal and all). Show is likely delayed until tomorrow due to technical difficulties. (It's so bad, for instance, that I can't even send an e-mail via the computer because it keeps timing out.)

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Nah, Skabb's just gonna buffer Scorp's face, until he falls offline. :p

WWWYKI! Will Flogg have another 'exclusive' for us?

He will. I have a small mapping already, but it won't be flushed out (see what I did? Splash, flush .. ha ha ... aww, I suck!) until after the show, so Flogg can comment on the goings on of the event. He will, however, be taking a cheap shot at Tori, both members of Norse Code, and have a second run in with a member of the League roster.

All right, folks, I am becoming angry.

My computer has been trying to load the show for the last fifteen minutes but it's not coming up on the board here.

I'm going to try removing the YouTube windows and see if that works; if so you'll have to imagine themes until I get my service working right.

Season Three, Week Two
Omaha, Nebraska
March 7, 2011

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JyxBiUbCP8E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></object> THE LEAGUE: SEASON THREE, WEEK TWO

Back in familiar territory, the usual pyrotechnic show opens this broadcast of The League, as we pan the arena briefly before heading to ringside and our announce team.

Bob Sinclair: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to Omaha, Nebraska for the second week of the third season! Bob Sinclair, here at ringside alongside Frankie Garnett and Tori Montgomery, and tonight is the first of four Divisional Rivalry weeks scheduled for this season. All eight matches are divisional matchups, and things could get real interesting this week.

Frankie Garnett: Which means that finally Omaha will have given us something decent besides Omaha Hold 'Em Poker!

Tori Montgomery: How did I know you were going to go there...?

DELTA DIVISION: El Demonio de Sangre (0-1, 11%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-1, 15%)

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SurqXyOjLxE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The driving metal of Slayer's "Raining Blood" hit the speakers as the lone luchador in The League emerges from backstage. His mask is obscured by the smoke billowing around him, and it is a blood-red spotlight that follows him to the ring as he hops over the top rope and paces back and forth, waiting impatiently for the match to begin.

Amelia Williams: Our opening contest of the evening is a Delta Division bout scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Tijuana, Mexico, weighing 142 pounds...he is El Demonio de Sangre!

Bob Sinclair: Demonio is going to have his hands full tonight against last season's cream of the rookie crop.

Frankie Garnett: Bob, this is not Harvest Moon for crying out loud. Why are you referring to them as plants?

Tori Montgomery: No worse than you referring to Phoenix's wife as a female dog off camera.

Frankie Garnett: Hey!

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/btjVnTLn6og?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0 xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> It is to Muse's "Assassin" that he emerges, an arrogant smirk crossing his face as he soaks in the jeers of the crowd. Looking up at the spotlight for a moment, his smirk seems to get even bigger as he walks down the ramp, ignoring the catcalls of the crowd as he ascends the steps, wipes his feet on the apron, and steps through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Manchester, England, weighing 237 pounds...Sebastian Moore!
Bob Sinclair: After his dismal showing in last season's playoffs, it will be interesting to see how well Moore rebounds from his loss last week.

Frankie Garnett: How about not at all?

Tori Montgomery: If he's going to get back in the swing of things, guys, he needs to win decisively tonight.

Tori Montgomery: You're not kidding. I don't think very many people saw this one ending the way it did!

BETA DIVISION: The Phoenix (1-0, 13%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (1-0, 14%)

Frankie Garnett: I certainly didn't, that's for sure.

Bob Sinclair: And how much did it cost you this time, Frankie?

Frankie Garnett: Nothing. I don't bet on jobber matches.

Tori Montgomery: ....

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/avPSzGVCPH0?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0 xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> The opening chords of "The Instinct" hit as the entryway is bathed in a fiery orange light. Twin pillars of flame erupt from the entrance stage, one per side, as The League's largest member walks to the ring, a smaller figure walking beside him on his left. As he approaches the steps, he pauses, bowing his head for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and releasing a shout to the skies above. His wife reaches up and gives him a quick peck on the cheek for luck as he ducks between the ropes and finishes his stretching.

Amelia Williams: Our next match is a Beta Division match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Te'Snilo Bradenbury, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds...this is The Phoenix!

Bob Sinclair: Phoenix quick to pick up where he left off last season, though I don't envy him his challenge tonight.

Tori Montgomery: Bob, the man has practically done it all in this business. I think he'll be ready for whatever gets thrown his way tonight.

Frankie Garnett: Please let it be the kitchen sink....

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GyzbQ0Gdg3w?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Escape the Fate's "This War is Ours" hits the arena speakers as The League's newest resident psychopath emerges and heads towards the ring, looking like he's having an argument with voices only he can hear.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from The Dog Pound, weighing 251 pounds...Ezekial Kerghan!

Tori Montgomery: I know it's cliché, gentlemen, but this man truly is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Bob Sinclair: In this case, Tori, I think the cliché is allowable.

Frankie Garnett: Enough talking, let's get to the wrecking already!

Frankie Garnett: They'll need to do more than that to help him!

Tori Montgomery: What I'm intrigued about is the reactions of Phoenix's manager, Te'Snilo Bradenbury. She doesn't seem to be totally into watching the match and being ready to help out.

Bob Sinclair: Could be rookie inexperience coming into play here, if that's truly the case.

Frankie Garnett: See, Tori, your boy isn't so almighty after all!

Tori Montgomery: It took an illegal blow to do it, though!

Frankie Garnett: Ref didn't see it, he didn't do it!

ALPHA DIVISION: Thor Hammerskald (0-1, 18%) vs. Super Century (0-1, 10%)

Bob Sinclair: Look, you two. Settle down before I mute the both of you.

Tori Montgomery: Fine...

Frankie Garnett: No problem. (sotto voce) Serve that righteous wench right...

Tori Montgomery: Hey!

Without warning, all of the lights go off in the arena, casting everything into pitch blackness. A few seconds pass before a spotlight shines on one of the turnbuckles, revealing no one there. This is repeated with all four turnbuckles, each revealing no one there. Finally, one last spotlight shines down onto the middle of the ring, which reveals the caped form of The League's resident superhero, who stands with arms folded and staring intently into the audience.

Amelia Williams: This is an Alpha Division match, scheduled for one fall! Already in the ring, from the Halls of Justice, weighing 205 pounds...Super Century!

Frankie Garnett: I don't like Superboy's chances, not against the Viking.

Bob Sinclair: Century's going to have to step up his game if he wants to leave Omaha with a much-needed win.

Tori Montgomery: Understatement of the season so far, Bob.

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/e-UbViuK4fY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> Amon Amarth's "Death in Fire" hits the speakers, to a decent ovation as the League rookie emerges from backstage, looking every bit the part of a Viking warrior as he strides to the ring with a determined look on his face...and scattering some of the fans away from the entrance ramp as he turns to glare at them.

Amelia Williams: His opponent from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald!

Frankie Garnett: So, Tori, how was your trip to West Virginia?

Tori Montgomery: Long, damp—it rained most of the way there—and it was something that you should have done.

Frankie Garnett: And forgo my weekly sabbatical to the casinos? Get real!

Bob Sinclair: .....

GAMMA DIVISION FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Ian Carlisle (0-1, 10%) vs. Maxx Skabb (1-0, 20%)

Tori Montgomery: Now if I could only get a prediction or two correct....

No music heralds the arrival of one of this season's rookies, as he makes his way to the ring without trying to let any emotions become visible on his face.

Amelia Williams: This is a Gamma Division bout, held under First Blood rules! Introducing first, from Blackpool, England, weighing 222 pounds...Ian Carlisle!

Bob Sinclair: Carlisle had a few rookie mistakes in his opening match; this week he face what seems to be a nigh-impossible task.

Frankie Garnett: Impossible is about right, Bob. A First Blood match against Maxx Skabb? The kid's done for.

Tori Montgomery: Part of me wonders if he will even make it to next season, at this rate.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ApmKHzFLR1g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Avenged Sevenfold's "Nightmare" blares throughout the arena as spotlights begin to pan over the audience, as if looking for someone. A dim red light shines on the entryway, revealing a hulking figure making his way to ringside. As the opening lyric hits, the spotlights immediately focus on him as white strobe lights flash on the entrance stage. He slides under the bottom rope, his orange jumpsuit a stark contrast to most of the clothing in the audience as the song fades into silence.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from the Orange County Correctional Facility, weighing 289 pounds...Maxx Skabb!

Frankie Garnett: Excuse me a minute, folks, I feel a speech coming on.

Tori Montgomery: What's he talking about, Bob?

DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-1, 17%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (1-0, 17%)

Bob Sinclair: And now it's time for one of The League's classic rivalries to return. Amelia?

Emerging from the entryway, he turns to salute his homeland's flag before calmly walking to the ring, ignoring the fans as he slides into the ring and bounces off the ropes a couple of times to stretch.

Amelia Williams: This is a Delta Division contest, scheduled for one fall! In the ring, from Torres Vedras, Portugal, weighing 231 pounds...SGRaaize!

Bob Sinclair: Raaize has been on the bad end of things more often than the good, winning only a third of his matches against his opponent tonight.

Frankie Garnett: As versatile as his opponent is, Raaize is going to need to effectively ground his opponent in hopes of pulling it off tonight.

As he hits the end of the entrance ramp, he throws his arms into the air, sending a pair of mushroom clouds into the air from the stage as he makes his way to the ring and through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds...Nuclear Templeton!

Tori Montgomery: For the second season in a row, these two men will be partners during Tag Team Turmoil; one can only imagine what is going through each of their minds right now.

Frankie Garnett: I can summarize it, Tori. "I'm going to knock his head off!"

Tori Montgomery: And who are you to judge other wrestlers' moves?

GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (1-0, 16%) vs. Sean (1-0, 18%)

Frankie Garnett: Me, that's who!

After pausing to mentally prepare himself, he walks to the ring, his eyes never leaving the squared circle as he climbs onto the apron and ducks between the ropes.

Amelia Williams: Our next contest is a Gamma Division bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Liverpool, England, weighing 251 pounds...Robbie Maynard!

Bob Sinclair: Tori, you say that this is the year Maynard breaks out. Why is that?

Tori Montgomery: Just a hunch, Bob. I think the rest of the League is taking him too lightly and it'll come back to haunt them.

Frankie Garnett: Oh, please. You want the officials to be biased so you can be proven right.

Tori Montgomery: ...

Fog rolls in from the entrance proper as a figure emerges, walking slowly to the ring and mentally preparing for what's ahead of him. He slides in under the bottom rope and walks over to one of the nearby turnbuckles, leaning up against them as the song fades.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 230 pounds...Sean!

Frankie Garnett: Here's the man I see winning it all this season.

Bob Sinclair: And that's only the...what, sixth time you've changed your mind?

Frankie Garnett: Eighth, really.

Tori Montgomery: And you say women can't make up their minds....

Tori Montgomery: Still plenty of matches to go, Frankie. Though now I'm starting to get annoyed that I've yet to get a single prediction right!

Bob Sinclair: Has that ever happened before?

ALPHA DIVISION: Johnny Triumph (1-0, 29%) vs. Tarik Nolan (0-1, 8%)

Tori Montgomery: I don't think it has.

Frankie Garnett: Heh. You're about to get owned.

Tori Montgomery: ...shut up.

Instead of taking the steps closest to him, he walks around to the opposite side of the ring, drawing in more jeers as he finally climbs the steps and enters the ring.

Amelia Williams: This is an Alpha Division bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing 228 pounds, he is the reigning League Champion...Johnny Triumph!

Tori Montgomery: OK, why does he insist on having that put in his entrance?

Frankie Garnett: Because he can, Tori. Deal with it.

Bob Sinclair: It does sound a bit arrogant, but given Triumph's personality I can see that coming from him.

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1plPyJdXKIY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0 x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> "Regulate" hits the speakers, immediately drawing the ire of the crowd as a large figure stands in the entryway, backlit by a clear spotlight. Pyro explodes on the stage, causing the light to shut off as the figure finally emerges onto the stage proper. Laughing at the boos hurled in his direction, he takes his time walking to the ring and subsequently entering it for his next match.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighing 292 pounds...Tarik Nolan!

Tori Montgomery: I heard before we came on air tonight that Nolan and Phoenix have agreed to team up at Tag Team Turmoil.

Frankie Garnett: Why would Nolan agree to something that ridiculous?

Bob Sinclair: He knows what makes Phoenix tick, and vice versa. Makes sense to me.

Frankie Garnett: Pffft, what do you know?

Tori Montgomery: That's twice that move—if it can be called that—has won a match tonight! The Commissioner should look into banning that move!

Frankie Garnett: Oh, shut up already. Ref didn't see it, after all...

Bob Sinclair: Either that or we need to institute mandatory mental health clinics.

BETA DIVISION HARDCORE MATCH: Scott Stevens (1-0, 15%) vs. Diamond (0-1, 23%)

Tori Montgomery: In any event, it's main event time and time for me to end this 0-fer tonight!

Frankie Garnett: Don't bet on it...

Tori Montgomery: Grrrr...

Bob Sinclair: That's enough.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PtYxDa-l-D0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The familiar tune hits the arena to a mixed reaction as The League's lone female member emerges from backstage. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction while her manager stands outside, also applauding her client.

Amelia Williams: Our main event of the evening is a Hardcore match in the Beta Division, scheduled for one fall to a finish! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond!

Tori Montgomery: And what factor, if any, will Jayde play at ringside tonight?

Frankie Garnett: Eye candy.

Tori Montgomery: ...and?

Frankie Garnett: Nope, that's all I have.

Bob Sinclair: ...damn.

The lights in the arena go pitch black, as red lasers and spotlights light up the area. The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen, "Nothing survives my sting!" Over the audio system a snippet of Dave Mustaine from the song "Scorpion" yells, "I am the Scorpion whoah!!!" This causes the crowd to start booing as a mash up of "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack and "Amazing" by Kanye West hits the speakers, and the man in question walks to the ring, talking trash the whole way.

Amelia Williams: Her opponent, from Houston, Texas, weighing 265 pounds..."The Scorpion" Scott Stevens!

Tori Montgomery: Unless Diamond has a trick up her sleeve, I think her run ends tonight.

Bob Sinclair: We've seen stranger things before, Tori.

Frankie Garnett: Yeah, like a steroid-enhanced 11-3 record.

Tori Montgomery: ...not gonna say it....

Frankie Garnett: Hey!

Bob Sinclair: Until next week in Omaha, everyone, this is Bob Sinclair for Frankie Garnett and Tori Montgomery...good night, everyone!

Comments on the Last Show

El Demonio de Sangre defeats Sebastian Moore - Wow, what? Most unexpected result of the night, by far. And I don't even need to check the other matches to verify it. El Demonio de Sangre gets the Japanese Push, derp.

Ezekial Kerghan defeats The Phoenix - So, yeah, Ezekial Kerghan is a well built wrestler and a force to be reckoned with. Another top player has joined the game. Surprisingly quick match, too.

Super Century defeats Thor Hammerskald - Not as surprising as the first match. Thor seems to be a Wrestler that deals well with pressure but not well with matches without pressure that should be easy wins, derp. Great match.

Max Skabb defeats Ian Carlisle - Pretty good match, was kinda expecting another upset here, but this time, the expected happened. Good match.

Nuclear Templeton defeats SGRaaize - Expected result, Nuclear Templeton keeps dominating, I get owned in a quick fashion (far quicker than I thought), Was hoping for a upset here ;_;.

Sean defeats Robbie Maynard: Holy crap, I was expecting a win, but not so quick. This further confirms my theory: Always bet on Sean.

Johnny Triumph defeats Tarik Nolan - Tarik Nolan did pretty good, but this was a obvious result, Johnny Triumph had over 27% of Popularity, Tarik was just delaying the inevitable :P

Scott Stevens defeats Diamond - As I expected, Scott Stevens has the resillence to screw Diamond's ****. Another match that was far quicker than expected.

So, yeah, good show, 4 matches that were way quicker than I expected, 2 amazing upsets from Super and Demonio, that prove they are still not out, Sean and Nuclear keep dominating everything that gets in their way. Johnny Triumph, Scott Steven and Maxx continue their streak and Ezekial proves himself a big player in this season.

Predictions for the Next Show

Johnny Triumph (2-0, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-2, 13%)
Ian Carlisle has lost, but against two beasts (Maxx and Ezekial) and not by that much of a margin. Meanwhile, Johnny Triumph won twice, but neither victory was impressive. However, I still think Johnny Triumph is the better wrestler and plus, he has the (small) popularity advantage.

The Phoenix (1-1, 15%) vs. Robbie Maynard (1-1, 15%)
The Phoenix lost to a beast and didn't have an impressive victory. Robbie lost to a beast and had an impressive victory. Popularity is equal. This matchup is at 1-1. So, very interesting match-up, a flip-coin choice. I choose Robbie Maynard cause I like his character more.

Diamond (0-2, 15%) vs. SGRaaize (0-2, 15%)
I lost against a beast and a way-above-average fighter. Diamond lost against against two beasts. Popularity is equal. Matchup comes at 1-0 for me. I know I'm sounding arrogant. But I'm gonna predict myself here. I won't be surprised if I lose, though. I am gonna take my arrogance one step further and predict this as the MOTN.

HARDCORE MATCH: Ezekial Kerghan (2-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (2-0, 15%)
Very interesting matchup, Ezekial has proved me wrong two times before and Nuclear Templeton has been squashinig small flies, not yet testing himself against the stronger opponents. Still, I can't help but choose Nuclear Templeton. I am gonna get angry when Ezekial proves me wrong a third time, though.

Super Century (1-1, 18%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-0, 15%)
Super Century surprised everyone this show, and he has the popularity advantage. But I can't see this going any other way than a victory for Skabb.

Thor Hammerskald (0-2, 15%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-2, 19%)
This match up comes at 1-0 for Thor, Sebastian Moore has the bigger popularity. Hammer lost two matches that he was expected to win. Moore lost one match that he was expected to win and one match he was expected to lose. I predict Thor to disappoint again and lose against Moore, although this time won't be as much of a disappointment, considering Moore has 4% advantage in Popularity..

Scott Stevens (2-0, 22%) vs. Sean (2-0, 15%)
Reasons why you should bet Scott Stevens: He has bigger popularity.
Reasons why you should bet Sean: Cause he's Sean.

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Tarik Nolan (0-2, 24%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-1, 15%)
Much like Super Century, Demonio de Sangre surprised everyone this show, but I can't see him winning this match. 9 reputation disadvantage is a game-sealer, IMO.

How can you bet against a guy who's name is triumph?
The Phoenix (1-1, 15%) vs. Robbie Maynard (1-1, 15%)

Well I'm not gonna bet against myself....:(
HARDCORE MATCH: Ezekial Kerghan (2-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (2-0, 15%)
Nuclear IS hardcore....
Super Century (1-1, 18%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-0, 15%)
I'm iffy on this one, just think the misguided superhero may have what it takes to pull it off.
Thor Hammerskald (0-2, 15%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-2, 19%)
Because everyone wants MOORE...
Scott Stevens (2-0, 22%) vs. Sean (2-0, 15%)
Pfft, Stevens paid the ref off in our match, Sean will come out a winner here.
FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Tarik Nolan (0-2, 24%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-1, 15%)
Not sure how this will go, but my moneys on Tarik..

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/fyreclaw/Renders/FloggSplash.jpg

[Johnny Triumph's condensed theme plays once again, as the “Hottest Wrestling Show to EVER hit the Interwebs” flashes across the screen. The visual fades away, as the midi file gives way to the sounds of waves lapping at the beach, before silencing, as we stare at the innocent face of our intrepid “reporter” Joshua Flogg. He brushes the Beiber bangs out of his eyes, and flashes that used car salesman smile, before beginning the report at full speed.]

Flogg: Hello Bloggers and Floggers, and welcome to the Flogg Splash, the hottest wrestling show to ever … and I mean EVER hit the internet! As always, I am your master of ceremonies, master and commander, master of the universe, and when I'm out on the lake, master baiter, Joshua Flogg! And we have an amazing show lined up, including a special interview taped just after the second show of this season's League. And since we have no time to waste, let's just jump right in to …

[“Wipeout” by the Surfari's begins to play, as the cheesy graphic flutters across the screen. After the tidal wave washes away the words “Splashdown”, the graphic fades back to Flogg, still smiling, although with his hair brushed back, it's quite obvious that the left side of his face is seriously discolored.]

Flogg: … Splash Down! Now, before I continue on, I've heard that the Flogg report has become something of a phenomenon backstage during the League's recent showcases. My great appreciation to Frankie Garnett to introducing the wrestlers to a true wrestling reporter, unlike Tori “I can't predict my way out of a paper bag” Montgomery. Ha! Anyway, I've heard that one member of the League has chosen not to partake in the viewing of my show, due to my inability to speak his native language. So Thor Hammerskald, this is for you!

[Flogg rifles around under the sight of the webcam for a moment, and when he returns to view, he's holding a stack of giant cards, each displaying a picture of something. The first card is a picture of Maxx Skabb in his orange jumpsuit, with a cartoon bubble over his head that says “Winning … duh!”]

Flogg: Our first piece of news comes from my guest last week. Many people were confused by the preemption of The League on Monday night, instead having to wait until Tuesday to see the show. A source has told me that Maxx Skabb is the cause of this, as he went all Charlie Sheen on Monday night, refusing to wrestle, due to the soundboard operator, John Cruise, refusing to play his new entrance theme. Two hours later, the two men were still screaming at each other in the most nonsensical argument to ever occur in the history of man. Some key quotes include Maxx shouting that Cruise should fear him, since tiger's blood runs through his veins, to which Cruise retorted that he was born of an alien in a volcano in Hawaii. After finally being pulled apart, and dragged away from the epicenter of insanity, my source asked Skabb just what he was doing, to which he replied, straight faced and intensely … “winning … duh!”

[Flogg drops the card, hoping to keep the giant Norseman interested in his showcase. The second card shows two pictures, one being of an ostrich, and the other being of Nolan, with a classic plus sign joining the two.]

Flogg: Secondly, it has been confirmed that Nolan has tapped Squeamix to be his tag partner for the upcoming Turmoil event. When asked to comment, reportedly Phoenix said that he hoped Nolan would go against his nature, as he (Phoenix) had another engagement at the Hyatt. When asked to elaborate, Phoenix simply replied “they have food, I need to remedy that problem.”

[Flogg drops the second card, and the third, and final card shows a picture of Super Century pinning the giant Norseman, from the most recent League event.]

Flogg: Our final news item is the match of the night from the second show of the League, where Super Century wowed the crowd with an upset win. Many have called this the match of the night, and after seeing it, I'm inclined to agree. Although is just barely edged out the best champion in the history of ever … EVER, pulling out another great victory. My fear now is that people have simply become so accustomed to how awesome Triumph is, that he's being taken for granted. Maybe if he jumped from the rafters, wearing a silly mask and cape, and swinging a steel chair, you doubters would give Triumph the respect he truly deserves!

[Flogg drops the final card, and clicks a key on his keyboard, leading to another graphic for the Flogg Splash Flogg-sclusive! When the image fades away, we're tuned in to a grainy video outside a Waffle House. Flogg seems to be filming everyday life, as he's heard licking the syrup from his fingers, before pushing open the front door. Suddenly, an audible squeal is heard, rival of any 9 year old girl at a NKOTBSB concert. Flogg lumbers across the street, waving the camera skyward, as he flails his hands in an effort to attract the attention of someone strolling the opposite sidewalk. Finally, Flogg stops, panting, gasping, wheezing, and somehow, still squealing.]

Flogg: Mis … huff, huff … Mister St … St … wheeze … Mr. Stevens!

[Flogg points the camera towards his intended victim … err, target, and reveals it to be “The Scorpion” Scott Stevens. Stevens is dressed to the nines, as a pair of designer black sunglasses rest on his nose, and his black silk button down bellows in the breeze. He finishes his discussion on his cell phone, and turns to face his tubby intruder, raising an eyebrow towards the young man, his face an emotionless mask.]

Stevens: Do I know you?

[Flogg takes an extra moment to steady himself, wiping his head with his forearm, before extending his still syrupy hand in the direction of the Venomous One.]

Flogg: Truly an honor, sir. I'm a huge fan. My name is Joshua Flogg, the voice of …

[Suddenly, the emotionless mask of Stevens face cracks, as rage begins to burn in his eyes.]

Stevens: Wait, you're that joke on the internet, right? Always touting that trumped up, second rate, no talent Johnny Triumph? And the guy who picked me to lose a couple of nights ago?

[Although it can't be seen, the viewer can almost feel the color draining out of Flogg's normally flush face. He stammers a few sounds, in what seems to be an apology of some sort, but Stevens seems bored with the game already, and begins to move forward.]

Flogg: Mr. Stevens, wait! Please, I apologize for my lack of faith in you, but if you could grant me just a couple of minutes, it would be a huge boost for my site. A lot of people in the world are wishing they could hear more from “The Scorpion!”

[Stevens stops for a moment, to ponder the young man's obvious attempt at ass-kissing. After a long pause, Stevens nods, and continues his walk.]

Flogg: Excellent! Now, the first thing the fans are interested in is how your back is? We've heard you've healed from the ordeal, and as evidence by your domination this season, I can't see any reason to argue.

[Stevens smirks, as he pauses at a crosswalk. He pushes his sunglasses, so they rest atop his head, and tilts his head ever so slightly, as he looks back over his shoulder.]

Stevens: Was there ever a doubt I would dominate, by people with the sense to pay attention to the action in the ring, and ignore the stirrings in their pull down diapers? Yeah, I'm talking to you, kid. Listen, half that locker room is filled with has beens or never weres. It's like comparing the Great Wall of China to a white picket fence. It's like comparing the Mona Lisa to your brainless illegitimate love child's paint by numbers. It's like comparing my lovely wife to that Scottish broad whose spent more time on her back in the ring than Paris Hilton. The League is the darkness, and I am the guiding light of greatness.

[As “The Scorpion” finishes orating, a black limousine pulls up at the corner. The back door swings open, and the lovely Lisa Stevens steps out, looking as fine as always, as her black dress hugs her in ways that most fan boys can only dream. She pecks Scott on the cheek, before visibly recoiling at his company. It doesn't take long to figure out where Flogg's mind has wander to, as his camera phone pans away from the League superstar, and directly into the awaiting cleavage of his wife. Before Flogg or Stevens has a chance to say anything, though, Mrs. Steven's breasts sway within their confines, before the view spirals into the air, and lands next to Flogg, who is crying in agony, and clutching his face. Scott Stevens bends down, with his hand halfway extended, and as our noble vlogger reaches for it, Stevens pulls his hand away, and while laughing, plants his foot on the poor man's chest.]

Stevens: Seriously? You're lucky she only punched you. Consider yourself lucky that you're a boy venturing into a man's world.

[Stevens can be heard laughing, along with his wife, as they enter their limo, and drive off to anywhere that isn't Omaha, Nebraska. The scene crackles back to Flogg's dorm, where he displays his creepier smile, and rubs his cheek.]

Flogg: Did you see that, Floggers? She touched me! I think Lisa Stevens may be feeling Floggy! I mean, sure it was nice to talk to the Venomous Scorpion, and all, but he ain't no Lisa Stevens, let me tell you! Moving forward, though, it is now time for …

[Before Flogg can introduce his segment where he picks the upcoming matches, the door to his room bursts open, and the laughter of what can only be described as a legion of men, can be heard. Flogg's roommate pokes his head into frame, before glaring back at the portly fellow who is profusely sweating at this point.]

Roommate: Shows' over, nerd! Time to pack up the geek wagon, and hit the road!

[Again Flogg tries to protest, but is quickly shot down, as his roommate, and what appears to be the offensive line for the University of Omaha Mavericks hoist Flogg up, and carry him from the room. The final image, before the show reaches it's conclusion, is that of a man in a giant black bull costume marching past, lifting his knees, and pumping his fist, and chanting “nerd, nerd, nerd!”]

Season Three, Week Three
March 9, 2011

http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae344/ShadowedFlames/GDS%20League%20Stuff/BeyondRingsideBanner.jpg

After a night that started with two major upsets and ended with my worst outing in predictions in my fifteen-year career, it's time to look back on the week that was! Hello again, League fans, and welcome back to Beyond Ringside!

Last week was quite the interesting show, as a pair of cruiserweights picked up victories that hardly anyone saw coming, a first blood match ended with the use of a steel chair—and it's about time, I should add on a personal note—and with twelve regular season weeks to go, we could see some surprises as the season rolls along.

In any case, it's time for a quick review of the official standings and stats, found only here at Beyond Ringside.

DIVISIONAL STANDINGS: AFTER WEEK ONE

All ties this week are broken via Average Match Rating (AMR).

The Phoenix: 12.8900 -> 10.1680
Thor Hammerskald: 18.0000 -> 20.9690

COUNTDOWN TO TAG TEAM TURMOIL
We are now just six weeks away from Tag Team Turmoil, and I have received confirmation of a fifth team having been added into the mix. The updated roster is listed below:

"Norse Code:" Maxx Skabb and Thor Hammerskald
"Team LARIATO:" Nuclear Templeton and SGRaaize
Diamond and Ezekial Kerghan
Scott Stevens and Super Century
Newly added this week: Tarik Nolan and The Phoenix

I am sorely tempted, based on last season, to call Nolan and Phoenix the "Gamma Corps," but that would be a cheesy comic book reference and so I can't do it in good faith. That's reserved for those video bloggers who try to make every segment title sound like a tired immature joke.

BY THE NUMBERS
This week, we're taking a slight break from theoretical statistics and going with something a bit more concrete. This one is also a veteran-only list, as a minimum of fifteen regular season League matches need to have been completed by the wrestler in question to qualify for this week's lists. We'll also be listing all of the current League members in the lists this week, as well as giving exact numbers as all of this is essentially public knowledge. I've just gone through the trouble of crunching the numbers for everyone.

AVERAGE OVERALL MATCH TIMES—REGULAR SEASON
1. Nuclear Templeton: 10:20
2. Sean: 10:33
2. SGRaaize: 10:33
4. Sebastian Moore: 10:34
5. Robbie Maynard: 12:16
6. El Demonio de Sangre: 12:17
7. Scott Stevens: 12:35
8. Tarik Nolan: 12:44
9. Super Century: 13:11
10. Diamond: 13:39
10. Johnny Triumph: 13:39
12. The Phoenix: 14:03
13. Thor Hammerskald: 15:00
14. Maxx Skabb: 15:51

BEST TIME DIFFERENCE—REGULAR SEASON
(Editor's Note: This category basically compares the average time to win matches and the average times to lose matches. A positive number here is good, as you win your matches quicker than you lose them. A negative number, on the other hand, means it takes you longer to win a match as it does to lose one. If anyone wants the specific times to compare notes, let me know and I'll get it set up.)

1. Sebastian Moore: 4:10
2. Robbie Maynard: 3:18
3. Sean: 2:17
4. Scott Stevens: 0:47
5. Nuclear Templeton: 0:43
6. Diamond: -0:28
7. The Phoenix: -0:45
8. Tarik Nolan: -0:49
9. Johnny Triumph: -0:56
10. SGRaaize: -1:31
11. El Demonio de Sangre: -2:24
12. Super Century: -4:11
13. Maxx Skabb: -5:43
14. Thor Hammerskald: -7:24

PREDICTION CENTRAL

Last week was one I'd liked to have forgotten. For the first time in a regular season week, someone made every pick wrong, and that someone was me. It's not the high point of my career, I can assure you that.

Mr. Wrestling Century (relation to Super Century is unknown) moves out in front on the strength of picking seven out of eight correct, including both major upsets. By last season's reckoning, Mr. Jman2k3 would be leading; however is he second under this season's point system, almost three points behind the leader as you'll see below.

Maximum points available last week: 23.12

1. Wrestling Century: 27.99 points (21.49 last week), 11 total picks correct.
2. Jman2k3: 25.04 points (15.10 last week), 12 total picks correct.
3. I Effin Rule: 19.32 points (7.60 last week), 11 total picks correct.
4. masterded: 18.61 points (8.67 last week), 10 total picks correct.
5. moon_lit_tears: 18.06 points (6.00 last week), 10 total picks correct.
6. GruntMark: 16.66 points (10.26 last week), 10 total picks correct.
7. Comradebot: 16.31 points (10.26 last week), 10 total picks correct.
8. MichiganHero: 15.54 points (7.60 last week), 10 total picks correct.
9. SGRaaize: 14.70 points (7.60 last week), 9 total picks correct.
10. Jaded: 13.67 points (6.46 last week), 7 total picks correct.
11. Ranson: 12.99 points (4.94 last week), 9 total picks correct.
12. Prophet: 12.40 points (4.93 last week), 9 total picks correct.
13. Dangrel: 12.10 points (8.67 last week), 6 total picks correct.
14. Derek B: 10.86 points (4.94 last week), 8 total picks correct.
15. Ian Carlisle: 10.72 points (2.20 last week), 7 total picks correct.
16. Tori Montgomery: 9.34 points (0.00 last week), 4 total picks correct.
17. SeanMcG: 8.39 points (0.00 last week), 5 total picks correct.

We go back to school this week, as we invade the University of Alabama at Birmingham's Bartow Arena. It will be a small crowd—the official building capacity is only 8,500—but that only means that the crowd will be electric as we proceed deeper into the season!

WEEK THREE: BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA (US—South East)
(Sports Entertainment style match, American Style crowd, ref bumps allowed)

Johnny Triumph (2-0, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-2, 13%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
I wish I could say that I favored the rookie in this one...but I can't. Triumph should have a field day with this one.
Tori's Pick: Johnny Triumph

The Phoenix (1-1, 15%) vs. Robbie Maynard (1-1, 15%)
(Career Series: Tied, 1 - 1)
I'm actually a little torn on this one. On one hand, Phoenix has been more successful recently, but I still think Maynard's due. This is one where I'm literally going to flip a coin and go from that. So...
Tori's "Pick:" The Phoenix

Diamond (0-2, 15%) vs. SGRaaize (0-2, 15%)
(Career Series: SGRaaize, 1 - 0)
The last these two met, it was week nine of Season One, which ended up being the match of the night. I think this could repeat itself, but with a different result. I think Diamond ends her skid here with a much-needed win.
Tori's Pick: Diamond

HARDCORE MATCH: Ezekial Kerghan (2-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (2-0, 15%)
(Career Series: First Meeting
League Career in Hardcore Matches: Kerghan: 0-0, Templeton: 1-0)
Both men know how to swing weapons—Kerghan from his days in The Dog Pound, and Templeton in League action. That said, I'm going with the guy who has experienced a Hardcore match in The League.
Tori's Pick: Nuclear Templeton

Super Century (1-1, 18%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-0, 15%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
Century may have won last week, but I think reality comes crashing in this time. Skabb has the size advantage; I don't see him losing this one.
Tori's Pick: Maxx Skabb

Thor Hammerskald (0-2, 15%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-2, 19%)
(Career Series: Tied, 1 - 1)
This one is going to come down to who wants it more. That, and it should be noted that Hammerskald's win over Moore came in a cage match, while Moore's win was in a straight up match. I'm siding with history on this one.
Tori's Pick: Sebastian Moore

Scott Stevens (2-0, 22%) vs. Sean (2-0, 15%)
(Career Series: Sean, 1 - 0)
History says it all again, folks. All I have to say about that.
Tori's Pick: Sean

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Tarik Nolan (0-2, 24%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-1, 15%)
(Career Series: Tarik Nolan, 2 – 0
League Career in First Blood matches: Nolan 0-0, Demonio 0-0)
I hate to say it here, but I don't think Demonio's mask will stop Nolan from making him bleed.
Tori's Pick: Tarik Nolan

Boston hosts the League next week, and with spring right around the corner there shouldn't be any snow in the forecast. We'll see how that plays out. But until then, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

Johnny Triumph (2-0, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-2, 13%)
The Phoenix (1-1, 15%) vs. Robbie Maynard (1-1, 15%)
Diamond (0-2, 15%) vs. SGRaaize (0-2, 15%)
HARDCORE MATCH: Ezekial Kerghan (2-0, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (2-0, 15%)
Super Century (1-1, 18%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-0, 15%)
Thor Hammerskald (0-2, 15%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-2, 19%)
Scott Stevens (2-0, 22%) vs. Sean (2-0, 15%)
FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Tarik Nolan (0-2, 24%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-1, 15%)

I am sorely tempted, based on last season, to call Nolan and Phoenix the "Gamma Corps," but that would be a cheesy comic book reference and so I can't do it in good faith. That's reserved for those video bloggers who try to make every segment title sound like a tired immature joke.

Man, I hate those guys. :p

After 2 extremely mediocre weeks I can feel that this is the week where I get everything right and soar to the top of the leader board. Either that, or my picking skills continue to be statistically as significant as random chance and I end up as good as a coin flipping machine.... and still better than Tori. :p

Folks, it's been brought to my attention that there may be some character sheets that have been cut off when uploading thanks to my shoddy network. I know of one already. If by chance your sheet has also been affected, please let me know so I have an idea of how many sheets I need to try to fix upon my return home tonight.

Mine too. Can only see my popularity down to the UK. No idea what I'm going to do with Nuclear's purse winnings for this week... maybe buy a giant purse to put next week's in or something. :p

One day I'll have Nuclear cut a promo... I just can't bring myself to write one for a reclusive guy who doesn't want to cut a promo, can't quite find the right in/the time and energy to do it.

I was beginning to think it would have been easier for people to tell me if their sheet was correct... :p

Out of 16 sheets, only half fully uploaded. This is why I'm thankful I update stuff in Dreamweaver and then just copy code over. :D

Of the eight that messed up, three cut off at UK popularity, two in the "red" stats (Brawling, etc.), two in the green stats (Charisma, etc.) and one didn't have anything in the bottom table of his page.

EDIT: After re-loading and refreshing each of the pages in question, they all come up full to me. If there are any more (legit) issues regarding this, let me know so I can remedy them as soon as I can.

A couple things. The saying still remains true for the greatest champion in the history of ever! EVER! If he can’t make you tap, he will kick you in the sack. Also little known fact about the Horns of Victory: It can cause the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the cripple to walk. It does this to balance the world, as the pain it inflicts is so evil that without a balance the universe would end. Also Mr. Triumph is a megalomaniac.

Scott and Lisa Stevens ft. Frankie Garnett
Location The Commons, Huffman, Tx: Stevens mansion
March 12, 2011, 1:00 p.m. local time

(Screen opens up and we see a beat up, clunker of a car enter a through a large black gate and head up a long drive way. Half way up the driveway the car suddenly comes to a stop. It sits there for a few moments and we hear the sounds of the driver trying to start it again but the engine will simply not turnover and start. As we zoom in to get a better look we see that the driver is none other than Frankie Garnett cussing up a storm.)

Frankie: Dammit not again!!!!!!! This is the third time this hunk of junk has done this to me on my way here. Tori has a nice car, Sinclair does too, hell even Amelia's car is better than what I'm stuck with. Why can't I have a nice car? Cause the Commish is cheap that's why. Everytime I ask our beloved Commissioner for a slight raise he says he doesn't have the funds. Bull**** I say. Bull****!!!!!!!!!!

(Frankie takes a deep breath and appears to have his ranting done, gets out of his car and hikes up the long drive way. In what seems like an eternity, Frankie finally reaches the gigantic door of the Stevens mansion. He rings the door bell, and a voice over the intercom comes on.)

Intercom: Hello?

(Frank walks over to the intercom and presses a button.)

Frankie: Scotty, broski, it's Frankie.

Scorpion: Hold one second man and I'll come let you in.

(After a few seconds the door opened and stood none other than The Venomous One.)

Scorpion: Frankie my man you made it. Hope you're hungry the food is almost ready.......to....

(Scorpion looks around.)

Scorpion: Frankie, where the hell is your car? Did you walk all the way up the drive way?

(Frankie grumbles.)

Frankie: Damn thing died halfway up. That penny pinching commissioner won't give me my deserving raise.

Scorpion: That sucks man, because you are the real talent behind the booth. I mean clearly you carry that bimbo and hack every week.

Frankie: It's true, but my talents just aren't being rightfully compensated.

Scorpion: Well, as the old saying goes, "good things happen to good people." Until then, we eat my friend.

(Scorpion and Frankie head inside. Once inside we see the numerous championship title belts; trophies; awards; plaques; figures; etc from the legendary Stevens and Barbosa families. Frankie is just mesmerized by all the shininess just like a barracuda.)

Scorpion: Frankie, stop gawking and get your ass over here, food is getting cold.

(Scorpion and Frankie make their way through the house to the backyard and step out onto the covered patio/deck where the Grill Master 10,000 is cooking the food. We pan around the yard and we see the ever so lovely Lisa Stevens, wearing a itsy, bitsy, teenie, weanie, black and white, polka-dotted bikini, sunbathing next to the Olympic sized pool and custom built waterfall looking like a bronze-goddess out there. If Joshua Flogg was here he would be "flogging the dolphin" for sure.)

Scorpion: Frankie my man, what do you want to eat? We got steaks, burgers, dogs, and fajitas.

(Frankie thinks for a second.)

Frankie: I'll have a couple of burgers and a beer if you don't mind.

Scorpion: Two burgers and a cold one coming right up.

(Scorpion grabs the tongs and puts the patties on the hamburger buns. He then opens a cooler full to the gills with sodas and Dos Equis.)

Frankie: What's with all of the Dos Equis?

Scorpion: You see, I usually don't drink beer, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis.

Frankie: Oooooookay.

(Scorpion hands Frankie a cerveza.)

Scorpion: Stay thirsty my friend.

(Frankie gives Scorpion a puzzled look. Frankie begins to eat his burgers and Scorpion digs into his steak and fajitas. After awhile of hanging out and eating, the real reason for Frankie being there begins.)

Frankie: Well, thanks for the food, but you know why I'm here.

Scorpion: Yes I do.

Frankie: I'm hear to ask the tough questions without any bias, unlike my other two journalistic partners. Are you ready sir?

Scorpion: Fire away.

Frankie: First and foremost, from the way you have been winning as of late it would seem that you are fully healed from the back injury and post concussion syndrome you suffered last season.

Scorpion: That is correct. I basically had nerve damage alongside my spine and everytime I was slammed on my back I would be paralyzed for a few seconds, so the doctors went in and repaired the damaged nerves and I'm good as new. So far I haven't had any PCS symptoms, however I take monthly check ups just to be sure and I've past every single one or I wouldn't have been medically cleared to begin the season.

Frankie: That is good to hear, however some people within the company think you made it all up just to maybe get the sympathy vote and an automatic bid into the playoff round. What would you like to say to this critic?

Scorpion: First off, Skanky McHussy can kiss my ass. How dare she make such slanderous remarks about me without any shred of proof. She claims to have talked to my doctor, correction I have more than one sweetie so go back to the drawing board. Even if she had talked to my doctors, Dre and Peppers, she wouldn't have gotten any information do to a thing called "doctor-patient confidentiality." However, if she's wants to report gossip that's fine with me, but if she continues her vicious reporting tirades against me, we will have some problems, and you can bank on that.

Frank: Well, Tori also reported that the Commissioner was in the Lone Star State recently talking to two free agents that supposedly you know pretty well. Can you share the identity of these individuals?

Scorpion: Honestly Frankie, I have no clue who it could be. The only two people that I know that live in Texas are my brothers, Richard and George. However like I said before I don't think they will be signing with the company because I cast a big shadow and I'm sure they don't want to play second fiddle to me. Now could it be one of my numerous friends? Sure, that is very possible, I mean they do vacation in Texas on a regular basis. Maybe it was a few of them the commish met up with.

(We see Lisa get up from her tanning and head towards the inside of the house.)

Lisa: Everything is ready dear.

Scorpion: Excellent.

(Lisa gives him a smooch on the cheek and she heads inside.)

Frankie: Have a surprised planned?

Scorpion: Don't worry about it.

Frankie: Alrighty then, with your recent winnings you are on top of your division again just like last year. Do you see yourself winning the division?

Scorpion: I abso-frakking-lutely I do. I mean my division is like the NFC Western division in the National Football League.

Frankie: Wow. That is a horrible comparison.

Scorpion: Not really when the division sucks. I mean the Flaming ****atoo has been a disappointment. He had this tremendous winning streak last year and he gets destroyed by some curtain jerker in his second ever match. If Phoenix was more concerned on the task at hand instead of eating every buffet he comes across and worrying if he is going to pass his next piss test I might be more worried, but as of now he is beneath me. Hell, last year he couldn't even beat me, and medical stoppages don't mean ****. He couldn't pin me and he damn sure couldn't make me submit. Now he is hiding from me, and the only time I face him is on the last card of the year before the playoffs. Whose ass did you have to kiss for that bird boy? Next you have this rook who talks to voices and thinks he's this hardcore badass because he likes to take a cheese grater to his own head. Son, acting hardcore and being hardcore are two very different and important things to realize. You saw what I did to Diamond, that was just a small taste of what real hardcore is. And Diamond, I don't even know why I have to face this tramp as much as I do because I've beaten her for the what? Eighteenth million time? She still thinks she can compete in my world and I have to remind her of her role in life, plus I'm getting a little bored kicking her ass so much since she represents no real threat to me.

Frankie: That is some confidence you have there.

Scorpion: It's all true. I am the champion of this company.

(Frankie mutters something under his breathe.)

Scorpion: What was that?

Frankie: Well to be honest, you are not the champion. Johnny Triumph is, since he wears the belt and all.

(Scorpion pushes his glasses down and glares at Frankie with anger in his eyes before he pushes them back up.)

Scorpion: True, he may wear a belt to signify he is a champion, however I was handpicked by the owner of The League to bring this company to new heights it has never seen before which I have been doing week in and out. So in essence that makes me the true champion of this company. That is why I was given that big money contract and the special privileges. You see this rolex? (Scorpion flashes the rollie) This is worth more than Triumph's car. You see this flip-flop? (Scorpion takes the sandal off) This is worth more than Triumph's house. You see this lent? (Scorpion digs around into his pocket and pulls out some lent) This is worth more than John Triumph's life. I don't need a silly thing like a title belt to show my status because we all know pound for pound I'm the real League's champion. However, if I have to win the championship belt to shut up the non-believers then that is what the megastar will do and no one on this roster can stop me.

Frankie: Any thoughts on your opponent this week and all the nay sayers who say you can't beat him?

Scorpion: You think I'm scared because I have to face some washed up former musician? I'm sure Madonna or Prince's symbol would put up more of a challenge than this disco reject.

Frankie: I don't think he has a musical background to tell you the truth.

Scorpion: Well if that's the case he needs to spawn a last name before he get's bitch slapped like Ike did Tina to avoid all the confusion and all. The one that has been doubting me the most besides Skanky, has been that rookie Ian Carlisle. Ian, the only person you should be doubting is yourself since you haven't won a match. Before you call out the megastar of this company, win a match first and then I might take a listen to what you have to say until then send all comments to my complaints box outside my locker room door.

Frankie: Any final words before we end the interview?

Scorpion: You will all become victims to the Scorpion's sting each week until I take what is rightfully mine from Triumph.

Frankie: There you have it folks. This is Frankie Garnett signing off for The League.

(Frankie undoes his microphone, and shakes Scorpion's hand.)

Frankie: Pleasure to hang with you again sir.

Scorpion: No problem man, you are always welcome here.

(Scorpion leads Frankie to the door.)

Scorpion: Oh, before you go you'll need these Frankie.

(Scorpion hands Frankie a set of keys.)

Frankie: These aren't my car keys.

Scorpion: I know. It's keys to your new car.

(Frankie has a stunned look on his face.)

Frankie: You're kidding me right?

Scorpion: I kid you not.

(Scorpion pushes a button and the garage door opens up to Lisa Stevens standing next to a yellow, 2011 Chevy Camaro.)

Scorpion: A beauty isn't she?

Frankie: Why yes, I always thought your wife was....

Scorpion: The car fool!!!!!!!!!!

(Frankie stops talking for a moment to collect himself.)

Frankie: Yes the car looks splendid.

Scorpion: I call her, "Rumblebee."

(Frankie looks puzzled.)

Frankie: Don't you mean "Bumblebee?"

Scorpion: Shhhhhhh!!!!!!! You want to get sued?????

Frankie: Of course not. Thanks again for the gift.

Scorpion: No problem man. Good things happen to good people and I know you were in need of one so there you go. And people call me a douchebag.

(Scorpion rolls eyes.)

Scorpion: Be safe getting home and I'll see you Monday.

(Scorpion and Lisa head back into the house while Frankie hops into his new car.)

Frankie: Oh boy oh boy. Test drive time.

(Frankie revs the engine and hauls ass down the driveway as the screen....)

Location: New Orleans , Louisina

Afternoon, Scotty Boy, and Miss Stevens, not to forget you , so I watched your video , and felt due to your comments I have felt i had to reply. First and Foremost , congurlations you have made a friend, via your money, I do not have the wrestling legacy that you own , I'm not as rich as you, however I have a heart for this insdutry that can not make up into money. Scotty Boy you believe that you can beat me. like that , and that my less than stellar record somehow disallows me standing up to you. The time will come when we will meet, and when we do , I kope that you are ready.

Now as for Johnny Trimuph, we meet next week, and we will face to prove who's better , you are the champion and I respect that but noone stays like that for ever, but you heard Scotty Boy video , He did Not only take a jibe at me and at Tori, which I warned him not to do , he also slagged you off. So I propose a idea, at Tag Team turmoil , you chose to be to be my partner and we can both get even

Due to this show pressing the limits of its allotted five-minute overrun, there will be no entrances this week. (And to prove that I'm not lying, the total time for matches this week is 2:02:30. Feel free to check my math if you'd like. :) )

We fade in to the usual pyrotechnics as the standing-room-only crowd of 9,200 threatens to blow the roof off the arena. All too soon, we head to ringside and our usual commentary team.

Bob Sinclair: Good evening, everyone, and welcome back to The League! I'm Bob Sinclair, sitting at ringside as always with Tori Montgomery and Frankie Garnett.

Tori Montgomery: I can feel it in the air tonight, Bob. There's upsets afoot, mark my words.

Frankie Garnett: The last time people did that, you couldn't guess a single match right.

Tori Montgomery: Look, just because you've got some brown stuff on your nose from Scorpion's—

Bob Sinclair: Look, you two, I want no fighting this week, or I will start muting microphones.

Frankie Garnett: (smugly) Fine by me.

Tori Montgomery: Fine.

Johnny Triumph (2-0, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (0-2, 13%)

Bob Sinclair: Good. Now, because our network provider is all but demanding that we keep the show to within two hours and five minutes this week—apparently they want to show live coverage of Survivor: Compton after we go off the air—there won't be any long entrances this week. Instead, the first competitors for our match have gotten in the ring, and we're ready to go.

Frankie Garnett: Compton? Really? Why not Harlem or Detroit?

Tori Montgomery: They couldn't afford either of those places.

Frankie Garnett: ...oh.

I'm not surprised that I lost to the resident super hero, and I'm not surprised that it was match of the night. I am surprised that Century utterly dominated Skabb. Almost 70% offense? That was a 30 minute squash match! lol

Comments on the Last Show

Ian Carlisle defeats Johnny Triumph: Dah! I knew Johnny Triumph had two victories that were inempressive and that Ian Carlisle got beat by two beasts... but I was still expecting Triumph to win. Good match, full of cool reversals and near-finishers.

Robbie Maynard defeats The Phoenix: Great match, it really was a coin-flip prediction here, any of these wrestlers had the chance to win and didn't win due to luck. But Robbie was the first to do his finisher twice. Really great match.

Diamond defeats SGRaaize: Good match, surprisingly short, can't believe my Portugal Lock is being this inefective, need to work on a Trademark to help positioning it.

Nuclear Templeton defeats Ezekial Khergan: Another Great match, Ezekial Kerghan did pretty well, which shows he has a good chance at being in the playoffs if he is able to beat Scott Stevens, but he's still no match for the ARMAGGEDON LARIAT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Super Century defeats Maxx Skabb: Holy crap, it took a lot, but after 30 minutes of domination, Super Century manages to pin Maxx. Pretty surprising and amazing match, you had the feeling Skabb could have just destroyed Century out of nowhere but Century went flippy all over the place for 31 minutes.

Thor Hammerskald defeats Sebastian Moore: After two disappointing matches, Thor comes out of nowhere and destroys Sebastian Moore. Wasn't expecting this, tbh.

Scott Stevens defeats Sean: WHAAAAAT? Upset of the evening, Sean shouldn't have been beaten here.

Tarik Nolan defeats El DEmonio de Sangre: The Blood Demon got bloodied up :P. Was expecting this, the match was much longer and intense than I thought it'd be, but 9% reputation advantage and a move-set not based on this type of match just sealed it for Demonio de Sangre.

---

Predictions for the Next Show:

Tarik Nolan (1-2, 6%) vs. Diamond (1-2, 15%)
Both victories from these fighters weren't very impressive, matchup is at 1-1. Overall, I'm thinking Tarik Nolan here. But Diamond has 9% popularity advantage, so I'm betting her.

DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-3, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-2, 14%)
El Demonio de Sangre has surprised people before while I disappointed before. We never met before and I have a slightly advantage with 1% of popularity. I'm giving Demonio de Sangre this one.

Super Century (2-1, 18%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (2-1, 11%)
Super Century has beaten Thor that had 8% advantage and has defeated Maxx Skabb after 30 grueling minutes, both amazing performances. But now he faces the guy that was close to beating Nuclear Templeton... Even though Super Century has 7% popularity advantage, I don't see him beating this, I might be wrong, though.

Thor Hammerskald (1-2, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (1-2, 15%)
Thor Hammerskald had 2 disappointing matches and did great against Moore, but The Phoenix has had grueling matches and was near victory in all of them. Plus, this matchup comes at 1-0 for The Phoenix. I think The Phoenix will win this one.

GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (2-1, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (1-2, 15%)
That last match was a fluke :P. I still go by the theory "Always bet on Sean"

Johnny Triumph (2-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-0, 15%)
Johnny Triumph hasn't had any impressive victory. Meanwhile, Scott Stevens defeated SEAN!!! This matchup comes at 1-1. But I think Scott Stevens will win it.

GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (2-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-1, 21%)
Robbie Maynard only loss was to Sean. Maxx Skabb only loss was to Super Century after being dominated for 30 minutes (which means, in my mind, that Super Century needeed 30 m inutes to finish Skabb, not that Skabb is weak :P). The match up comes at 1-1. I'l give it to Skabb based on the fact he won against Maynard last season while Maynard won against Skabb two seasons ago and I'l also give it to Skabb because he has 6% popularity advantage.

DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-3, 18%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (3-0, 21%)
ARMAGGEDON LARIATO~~~~~~~

In his defense, Skabb's not so much a hero as a crazy tiger blooded madman who he occasionally roots for. And he spent the Steven's match staring at Lisa, so he totally missed everything there.

But the greatest champion in the history of ever ... EVER! ... was beaten? This week's Flogg Splash is going on the road, as Josh is gonna be protesting in front of the League's home office. lol

Too much difference to overcome

DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-3, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-2, 14%)
Based solely on the beating Demonio took.

Super Century (2-1, 18%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (2-1, 11%)

Kid's resilient and on a roll.

Thor Hammerskald (1-2, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (1-2, 15%)

Me smash!

GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (2-1, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (1-2, 15%)

Last week was a fluke.

Johnny Triumph (2-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-0, 15%)

He fights dirtier.
GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (2-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-1, 21%)

I like my tag partner, what can I say? Plus, there's the "Super Century Rebound Effect" that obviously worked for Thor :D

DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-3, 18%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (3-0, 21%)

Nuclear squishes Moore in a beatdown.

The upsets keep rolling in, including a shocker to start the show just last night. Will the champ accept the offer of the brash rookie? We'll find out in the coming weeks, as The League continues to unfold. Good evening, everyone, and welcome back to the home of all the news that's fit to print regarding The League!

The prediction curse continues, as this time someone else falls victim to the 0-fer stigma. Will it go to three weeks in a row? We'll find out in due time.

3. Robbie Maynard (2-1, 4.000 AMR)
4. Ian Carlisle (1-2, 5.667 AMR)
(The three-way tie is narrowed to two by Divisional record [eliminates Maynard]. Skabb has the higher AMR, so he wins the tie. As for the second-place tie, Sean has a head-to-head win over Maynard, and so wins that outright.)

DELTA DIVISION
1. Nuclear Templeton (3-0, 4.333 AMR)
2. El Demonio de Sangre (1-2, 7.667 AMR)
3. SGRaaize (0-3, 3.667 AMR)
4. Sebastian Moore (0-3, 3.000 AMR)
(AMR is the tie-breaker for third place here, too.)

CHANGES IN POPULARITY: US—SOUTH EAST

An interesting side note: as a result of this unofficial "Best Card in League History," only four wrestlers experienced a loss in popularity in the South East this week, a League record.

Diamond: 15.0000 -> 19.3640
El Demonio de Sangre: 15.0000 -> 21.0000
Ezekial Kerghan: 15.0000 -> 16.8600
Ian Carlisle: 13.0000 -> 15.1445
Johnny Triumph: 15.0000 -> 14.1445
Maxx Skabb: 15.0000 -> 21.2307
Nuclear Templeton: 15.0000 -> 19.6400
Robbie Maynard: 15.0000 -> 21.0600
Scott Stevens: 22.0000 -> 21.7040
Sean: 15.0000 -> 11.6293 (Biggest Loss)
Sebastian Moore: 19.0000 -> 17.5362
SGRaaize: 15.0000 -> 16.4360
Super Century: 18.0000 -> 28.3527 (Biggest Gain)
Tarik Nolan: 24.0000 -> 33.5833

Thor Hammerskald: 15.0000 -> 16.6972

COUNTDOWN TO TAG TEAM TURMOIL
We are now just five weeks away from Tag Team Turmoil. Only six people remain unspoken for, much the same as last week. As a reminder, here are the confirmed teams for the mid-season tournament:

"Norse Code:" Maxx Skabb and Thor Hammerskald
"Team LARIATO:" Nuclear Templeton and SGRaaize
Diamond and Ezekial Kerghan
Scott Stevens and Super Century
Tarik Nolan and The Phoenix

Ian Carlisle has put out an offer to Johnny Triumph to team up for the tournament, though after Carlisle's upset victory over the defending champion I'm not sure if Triumph will want to work with the rookie. Of course, this is all conjecture on my part and I could easily be proven wrong.

As for the other four unattached competitors, there's been very little activity from the Robbie Maynard camp, even less from Sean's camp, and absolutely nothing from Sebastian Moore's camp. El Demonio de Sangre has been active, but my sources indicate to me that he has yet to be contacted by anyone regarding this tournament.

BY THE NUMBERS
Staying with the same theme as last week, we're going to continue to explore stats that are a matter of public record. As before, a minimum of fifteen regular season League matches is the requirement to make this list.

PREDICTION CENTRAL

Remember, this season features a slightly different way of keeping score for the season-long predictions contest.

This week, Mr. I effin rule takes the brunt of the 0-fer demons, going 0 for 8 on the week. No perfect scores as no one took the upset of Triumph. We have a split winner this week as Mr. Prophet correctly guessed 6 out of the 8 winners, although Mr. Jman2k3 assumes control of the leaderboard with an 11.32 point performance, tops on the board this week, in addition to last week's leader being absent for predictions.

Maximum points available this week: 28.29 (66.77 for the season)

1. Jman2k3: 36.36 points (11.32 last week), 17 total picks correct.
2. Wrestling Century: 27.99 points (0.00 last week), 11 total picks correct.
3. moon_lit_tears: 27.67 points (9.61 last week), 15 total picks correct.
4. masterded: 27.38 points (8.77 last week), 15 total picks correct.
5. Prophet: 23.17 points (10.77 last week), 15 total picks correct.
6. Dangrel: 22.88 points (10.78 last week), 11 total picks correct.
7. Comradebot: 22.75 points (6.44 last week), 14 total picks correct.
8. Ranson: 21.76 points (8.77 last week), 14 total picks correct.
9. Derek B: 21.73 points (10.87 last week), 13 total picks correct.
10. GruntMark: 21.22 points (4.56 last week), 13 total picks correct.
11. MichiganHero: 20.10 points (4.56 last week), 13 total picks correct.
12. SGRaaize: 19.41 points (4.71 last week), 12 total picks correct.
13. I Effin Rule: 19.32 points (0.00 last week), 11 total picks correct.
14. Jaded: 13.67 points (0.00 last week), 7 total picks correct.
15. Tori Montgomery: 13.45 points (4.11 last week), 7 total picks correct.
16. Ian Carlisle: 13.28 points (2.56 last week), 9 total picks correct.
17. SeanMcG: 8.39 points (0.00 last week), 5 total picks correct.

Boston plays host to The League this week, and the action is sure to break any sort of cold spell you may be feeling. Only two divisions play each other this week, so there's a mix for just about anyone, whether you want hard-hitting divisional action or the excitement of intra-divisional match-ups.

WEEK FOUR: BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS (US—New England)
(Sports Entertainment style match, American Style crowd, ref bumps allowed)

Tarik Nolan (1-2, 6%) vs. Diamond (1-2, 15%)
(Career Series: Tied, 1 - 1)
Diamond won their season one match, Nolan their season two. Most people may pick Nolan for his size, but with Diamond debuting a new finisher last week I think it may spell the difference.
Tori's Pick: Diamond

DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-3, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-2, 14%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
Raaize quite simply needs this match more, and I think that's what will give it away here.
Tori's Pick: SGRaaize

Super Century (2-1, 18%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (2-1, 11%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
If you would have told me a month ago that these two would both be 2-1 coming into this match, I'd have called you a liar. Century is surprising me this season, but Kerghan's not the kind to go without a fight. Going with size difference in this one.
Tori's Pick: Ezekial Kerghan

Thor Hammerskald (1-2, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (1-2, 15%)
(Career Series: The Phoenix, 1 - 0)
A must-win for both men to keep in their respective divisional races. I'm going to call a minor upset here, just on a hunch.
Tori's Pick: Thor Hammerskald

GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (2-1, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (1-2, 15%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
Carlisle got lucky last week. Can he do it again? My 8-Ball tells me "no."
Tori's Pick: Sean

Johnny Triumph (2-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-0, 15%)
(Career Series: Tied, 1 - 1)
This should be the match of the night, folks, and I see this one going to the defending champ. With a better ground game than Stevens, I think Triumph has the decided edge.
Tori's Pick: Johnny Triumph

GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (2-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-1, 21%)
(Career Series: Tied, 1 - 1)
Winner here all but assumes the Gamma Division lead (barring a Sean win). This is a coin-flip for me.
Tori's Pick: Robbie Maynard

DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-3, 18%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (3-0, 21%)
(Career Series: Nuclear Templeton, 1 - 0)
With Moore's camp being unusually quiet, I have to go with Nuclear on this one.
Tori's Pick: Nuclear Templeton

The Great White North welcomes the League next week, as we emanate from Toronto, Ontario. But until then, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

Tarik Nolan (1-2, 6%) vs. Diamond (1-2, 15%)
DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-3, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-2, 14%)
Super Century (2-1, 18%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (2-1, 11%)
Thor Hammerskald (1-2, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (1-2, 15%)
GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (2-1, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (1-2, 15%)
Johnny Triumph (2-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-0, 15%)
GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (2-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-1, 21%)
DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-3, 18%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (3-0, 21%)

I can't speak from experience, but I would have to imagine. Other side of the coin, what better way to feel clean while still being so dirty? lol

Also, I'm not incredibly thrilled with the ending, but in light of recent events, my original idea seemed insensitive, and felt wrong. I do think parts in the middle will make up for it, though. And this is another vlog where I hope an idea is instituted. :p

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/fyreclaw/Renders/FloggSplash.jpg

[“The Hottest Wrestling Show to ever hit the interwebs” has a completely revamped opening this week, as “We're Not Gonna Take It” by Twisted Sister pumps, as a picture of Johnny Triumph parades back and forth in South Park animation style, holding a hand made sign that reads “I got screwed!” The graphic fades away to our ever present video blogger, sitting in a lawn chair, with a bright pink neon sign over his head. The word “league” can clearly be seen emblazoned on the building, although trees seem to wrap the corners, like they're holding it in place. Periodically, the faint sound of bass becomes louder, filling the area with what sounds like German techno. Flogg's face is sour, as he holds the same “Johnny got Screwed” sign, gripping the broomstick handle, as the sign rests against his left shoulder.]

Flogg: Hello Floggers and Bloggers, and welcome, once again to the Flogg Splash. As always, I am the man with the plan, the fiber and the bran, for every Jane, a Tarzan, decked out in my Sedan, singing a little diddy about Jack and … Diane? Yeah! And this is your weekly installment of the Flogg Splash! Now, before we get to our review of rumors pertaining to the League from the only reliable source on the subject, unlike the baseless half truths spouted by a certain unnamed female, there's a certain subject that needs to be addressed.

As many of you have already witnessed, Johnny Triumph was blatantly screwed during the latest episode of the League. What was an otherwise stellar card, with featured Super Century upsetting Maxx Skabb, in what many are calling one of the greatest matches in League history, the entire show was soured by the complete disregard for the rules by a licensed League official! The commissioner has been threatened by the greatest champion in the history of ever … EVER, due to the circulating rumors that Triumph has been contacted by SWF and TCW with promises of becoming their world champion by April 1st. So threatened by the thought of losing the greatest wrestler to ever wear the League colors, the commissioner … who, by the way, refused to take any of my phone calls to address the issue, since he knows I know the truth … he decides to put Triumph in the opening match? The only person who should be above Triumph at any time, is Diamond … or Tori Mount-go-merry! And, to make matters worse, the referee in the match obviously counted fast. Plus the planted fan, whose only job was to distract our champion. Johnny was unfairly treated, and until this wrong is righted, I will stand in front of the League's home office, voicing my discontent!

Now, with that taken care of, it's time for …

[Joshua looks around for a moment, before realizing he isn't at his usual set up. Sheepishly, he looks back to the camera, a small smirk of embarrassment crossing his lips.]

Flogg: That's right, Splashdown! As mentioned earlier, Maxx Skabb took part in an amazing match, however, the lacerations he suffered from being abused for 28 ½ minutes of a 31 minute match, took their toll, as Skabb left the ring bleeding buckets. A League source has informed me that it took three full grown tigers flown in from the San Diego zoo to replenish his supply. A quote from that source says “that Skabb dude is bat**** crazy!”

Another rumor swirling, is that El Demonio de Sangre is in need of a partner for the tag turmoil, which has already begun to shape up. However, due to the language barrier, when Sangre tried to ask Robbie Maynard, Maynard simply snorted, and pointed the young man towards the rest room. Sangre will not be deterred, though, and I have heard that he is looking to outside help. Nothing has been confirmed at this point, but one has made mention that the new favorite to win the turmoil is The Force of Sangre!

I've also learned that Scott Stevens and Super Century will be teaming up for the aforementioned turmoil match up. Still unconfirmed, it is believed the duo will be called Super Scorpions, and will come to the ring to the awesome power ballad, “Wind of Change”. And speaking of the venomous Scorpion, I have been told by League sources that Scott Stevens has received an anonymous love letter, somehow slipped into his locker. When asked to speculate, my source told me “it's obviously Diamond” who has lashed out at Stevens for as long as the duo have been sharing the same locker room. While Diamond was unavailable for comment, Lisa Stevens was said to be irate over the maple syrup scented letter, written on a Waffle House napkin.

[As Flogg reported his last story, that creepy smile that has become synonymous with our resident blogger, makes another appearance. Subconsciously, he begins fixing his hair, brushing it to and fro, until he realizes his actions. Flogg drops his hands back to lap, before clearing his throat.]

Flogg: Now would be the time I would take you to my Flogg-sclusive interview with a member of the League roster. This week, I managed to catch up with Tarik Nolan, and I would love to show you everything that happened, however my video camera was damaged during the interaction. Nolan gave me a high-five, while I wasn't expecting it, causing me to drop my camera, before he accidentally stepped on it … four times. I did get an exclusive though, as the big Louisiana native told me the new catchphrase he is working on. I can't remember exactly how it went, because his intensity was a bit unsettling, but suffice to say, it involves removing my eyes, and stapling them to my back, so I could watch Mr. Nolan kick my ass. With a few other words … well, one word, repeatedly thrown in, for emphasis. And I can only assume he was using me as an example, since I was closest at the time.

Again, my lack of production value notwithstanding, it is time for Floggstomping. First up …

[B]Flogg: Hellooooo … ladies!

[The girls all look back at each other, before turning back to Flogg. After a long pause, the trio begin laughing, and pointing at Flogg, before walking off, as he struggles to follow. Carrying his laptop and webcam with him, the picture focuses over Flogg's left shoulder, and reveals his true destination. The emblazoned neon sign reads “Colleagues” with a board underneath that reads “hard working men for playful ladies!” Flogg continues to lay on the charm, by bragging about his knowledge of wrestling, his “ins” with the League, and in a last moment of desperation, admitting to being a level 17 high priest to Sur, Goddess of the Sun. As Flogg continues to chase the women, he drops his lap top and camera, as the women begin to run, less amused by the portly nerd, and more freaked out. After a few passing moments, the camera is picked upright, as a grungy fellow with a full length beard that dangles to his chest, and sticky looking hair, peers into the portal. He coughs for a moment, before tilting his head and speaking in a deep, beautiful tone, associated with radio.]

Golden voiced dirty man: This might be worth $5, awesome!

[The golden voiced thief snaps the laptop shut, closing down this weeks edition of the Flogg Splash!]

Scott and Lisa Stevens
Location: League House Show: Scorpion's locker room
March 18, 2011, 9:45:00 p.m. local time

(The screen fades in and we see "The Venomous One" sarcastically clapping very loudly in front of the camera and Lisa is in the background nodding and giving the good ole golf clap.)

Scorpion: Congratulations Ian, you finally got your first ever win. However it doesn't mean anything since Johnny Triumph is a paperweight champion but congrats nonetheless. You said some things in your last interview that made me laugh and I felt I should address to clear up any confusion you may have about me. First off, my name isn't Scotty boy, it's Scorpion or Mr. Stevens to you. Do you understand this???? Next, I don't need to bribe anyone with money or other trinkets to be my friend. You see Frankie is my friend because he appreciates my talents and what I bring to this company as the franchise wrestler and face of it. He respects me and I respect him because he is good at what he does. Your crush Skanky, I couldn't give a rat's ass about because she has been biased against me since I stepped foot into this company. If she respected me in any way she wouldn't say slanderous and harsh things about me or my wife. There was one thing you said that struck a nerve with me though and that was about my wrestling legacy. You think my legacy is based around money? Let me tell you something kid, my legacy may be an expansion of the Stevens name however it is all my own. My father may have been a North American wrestling legend, but I am a Global Icon. I have been wrestling since the age of sixteen and all that I have accomplished in my almost twenty year wrestling career is through blood, sweet, tears, and broken bones. So don't ever question my mettle or love for this business because I love this business and I've given up more than you will ever now for it. I may be all about the money now because I have accomplished everything there is to do in the wrestling industry. I made myself a household name and now I am looking out for my best interests because I'm not getting any younger and I got seriously injured last year and medical bills aren't cheap. So if cashing in on my name is what I must do to get what I want then so be it. Lastly, you claim you can beat me. Me!?!?!?!? Please, your ass couldn't beat me if I laid down for you to pin me. You say you have heart, well if that is the case you should see a doctor about that since enlarged hearts are a serious medical condition. The only wrestler on this roster to have heart is the guy that has been on a roll lately and he happens to be my tag team partner, and his name happens to be Super Century. You see Ian, last year I made more fun of this guy than anyone, and I destroyed him every time he faced me, but you know what he did unlike the no talented jabronis like yourself, Diamond, and Phoenix? He took what he learned from our encounters and has been winning. Super Century realized that he can still be a wrestler of the people but he doesn't have to suck up to them like he use to. He could still be their role model with his new "never say die" attitude he has been showing recently and people love that in someone because they can relate to that. Now if only Phoenix realizes he doesn't need HGH, PEDs, or scent of Deer Antlers to win, and Diamond needs to go back to the women's league to be successful, but they won't listen and you have seen what has been happening to them. When people face me I bring out the best in them and if they want to be on my level they have to evolve their styles or they will be left behind. The problem with you is that whenever we do face one another you won't be any sort of threat because there is a difference between great and good and to be honest you're not even that good. I would consider you sub par at best.

(Scorpion pauses a second as he sips his ice, cold Dr. Pepper.)

Scorpion: Before I get to "the champ," all you out there that thought Sean losing to me was a fluke must be pretty frakking stupid. He tapped out. I beat him within an inch of his life until he told me he couldn't take the abuse anymore and he was beating the mat faster than Josh Frogg beats himself. So ladies and gentlemen it wasn't a fluke but more like an old fashion ass kicking.

(Scorpion takes another sip of Dr. Pepper before he continues on.)

Scorpion: Now on to my opponent for this week, The League's heavyweight champion, Johnny Triumph. Johnny you may not notice but you and I are a lot alike. You are reigning and defending, paperweight champion of The League. I am the Real World's Heavyweight Champion of The League. You won a tournament to win your "title." I was handpicked by the owner to be the champion of The League. I just got to ask you though, how does it feel to walk around with a replica championship of my title belt? I mean a smart man as yourself would have notice that since all championships have their names engraved into the title belt. The real belt already had my name engraved into when I signed the dotted line of my contract last year but injuries plagued my season chances of winning it properly and you won the filler tournament. You are what they call in the boxing and mma world, an interim champion. You are given a placeholder title until the true champion, which is me, comes back from injury. This week is the match everyone has been waiting to see, it's the irresistible force meeting the immovable object, yet I don't know how you're considered immovable since you lost to a rookie, but I digress. More importantly it is Champion vs Champion. The Real World's Champion vs the Interim Heavyweight Champion. I will acknowledge one thing about you Mr. Triumph, for some reason everyone seems to fear you when they step through those ropes. They say you are a wrestling god and the best technically sound wrestler in the company. That may be true to a certain degree, but I am the best in world at what I do and that means I am better than you!!! They say your Horns of Victory submission hold can cause the blind to see, the deaf to hear, and the cripple to walk. It brings balance the world, because the pain it inflicts is so evil that without a balance the universe would end. The only thing I say to that is, Z"Ha"Dum, which means your future is doomed. If you are a wrestling god that would make me a wrestling titan and we all know Titans are more powerful than any God. So Zeus, Kronos is back to devour you and reclaim his throne on Mount Olympus, but more importantly just remember one thing, and that is nothing survives my sting!!!!!!!!!

About 2am local time

(Jerking around as the camera is put into position, we see Nuclear Templeton walk away from the camera and sit down on the end of a weights bench, sweat dripping from him. In the background is all the equipment you'd expect but no-one else can be seen in the gym, with most of the lights turned down it seems that Nuclear is the only person there.)

Nuclear: "I'm not a big talker... I've never had a way with words and they always seem to land me in more trouble than not. But I came to The League to be a star and I know that people want to hear something from me from time to time, even if it isn't an inspirational speech or a thought provoking philsophical statement. So let me start by telling you all a little about me, and hope that the League doesn't need to cut out too much of this for being too boring."

"You see, this gym... and hundreds more like it around the world these days, is the kind of place I call home. Back in New Jersey I used to bounce doors til late at night for anywhere that would take me, and that led to a lot of late nights and a lot of fights. So now, every night just like in those days, I find myself somewhere to train, to get in better shape, to work on my moves, to scout my competition, all to ensure that I'm the very best I can be each and every week. But I don't just do that for myself, I do it for the League and all it's fans around the world because I owe it to them for what they gave me. The single biggest opportunity I've ever had, an opportunity I intend to make the most out of and not mess up."

"It's not every day that a struggling wrestler gets the chance to travel the world doing his thing. I was a nobody when they found me, working part time for anywhere that needed someone on their door and wrestling whenever I got the chance... sometimes even doing both on the same event! And given my own past history, one that earned me my nickname, I understand how much of a risk it was for them to sign me. I respect that. And in turn, I redoubled my efforts in training so that I could repay the gamble that the League took on me. Being from Jersey I'm no stranger to gambling, but I wanted to prove to the League that their risk was minimal... that I could be as close to a sure thing as possible. And as the weeks pass, I see more and more people betting on me to win. I see the oddsmakers saying I'm favourite to win each fight I'm in... and most importantly, I see myself actually picking up the wins."

"I feel I've earned the respect of everyone around me, I read it on the League's website, I see it on TV, I can hear it when I'm out in front of the crowds and they shout for my lariat finisher. I go out each and every week and I kick ass harder, better and faster than anyone else. I don't let people hurt me, I don't ever give them the chance and I certainly don't make excuses when I lose. Regardless of the outcome of the match, I come back here and I train for the next match. I show respect to my opponent win, lose or draw and I give it my all every day because I owe it to everyone around me to do just that."

"And yes... there are times when things happen in the heat of the moment. I'm no angel, I have to admit that. There have been times when some of my actions have been questionable both inside and outside the ring, times when I've let my anger get the better of me when I've been disrespected or just when I've needed that little bit extra. It's no secret that when my temper gets the better of me that I can do... things I'm not exactly proud of. But I can't change the past, I can only learn from it. The future is where I'm going to spend the rest of my life and I'm going to keep looking towards it, aiming to go 4-0 this week against Sebastian Moore. He might not be on a roll just now but he's a dangerous opponent, one I take as seriously as anyone else in the League regardless of size, style or gender. But when it comes to focus, determination, dedication and respect... I've already got Moore beaten before we step into the ring. It just comes down to how long it takes and how the match up comes to an end. The fans will chant for the lariat, but I've spent a lot of time in this gym and everyone knows I've got more ways than anyone else to end a match. Heh... and when the chips are down, everyone knows I'm a finisher."

"So that's a little about me, abot how I got here and where I'm going. I hope most of this makes it into The League's various media outlets... Go Nuclear!"

(Nuclear walks back over to the camera, muttering to it as he reaches for the off button)

"Actually, don't go nuclear... that's a stupid thing to say..." CLICK

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

Just trying to get the Nuclear character into my head... this isn't as good as I can write, not by a looooong way but I'm trying to do some things that don't quite mesh together in my head the way I want them to. Still... I bet everyone is happy to hear from someone that isn't Scott Stevens for a change. :p

What????? Whose tired of listening to Scott Stevens promos???? I know I'm not because that guy is awesome.

You'll get the hang of your character. Took me a very long time to get my guy right. ;)

Robbie Maynard has released an official statement regarding Tag Team Turmoil.

"As League rules prevent me from doing what I'd like to do and beat up the rest of these punks single handedly, I suppose I should get a partner. If anyone wants to stand in the corner and can be relied on not to get in my way, call me."

Flogg would agree, except he's in the bathroom, weeping like Justin Timberlake watching Bambi, since someone called him Frogg. He is, however, willing to overlook this infraction ... for a price.

Seventy three cents. There's a vending machine outside that sells super balls ... and they bounce really high! :p

This will be my fifth attempt to post my predictions.

Tarik Nolan (1-2, 6%) vs. Diamond (1-2, 15%)
DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-3, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-2, 14%)
Super Century (2-1, 18%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (2-1, 11%)
Thor Hammerskald (1-2, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (1-2, 15%)
GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (2-1, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (1-2, 15%)
Johnny Triumph (2-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-0, 15%)
GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (2-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-1, 21%)
DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-3, 18%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (3-0, 21%)

The rumor going around is that Triumph is furious at what he calls the dirtiest finish in the Leagues history during the last match. Something about how the Cradle Piledriver is nothing more then a forearm to the nuts followed by an attempt to paralyze the opponent. He says no real man would ever hit another man in the balls and that something must be done to outlaw such a dirty move. :D

Season Three, Week Four
Boston, Massachusetts
March 21, 2011

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JyxBiUbCP8E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></object> THE LEAGUE: SEASON THREE, WEEK FOUR

19,124 fans are in attendance as the requisite pyro explodes inside the TD Center in Boston. There are a lot of signs showing support for Nuclear Templeton, Maxx Skabb, and even Super Century as the camera pans around the capacity crowd. After a few more seconds of this, we finally head to ringside and our usual team of announcers.

Bob Sinclair: From the Cradle of Liberty, welcome to week four of The League! Bob Sinclair, sitting between Frankie Garnett and Tori Montgomery in what I hope is a successful attempt to keep these two from arguing with each other this week.

Tori Montgomery: I'll be fine, Bob, as long as he doesn't try to downplay the job I do for The League or my opinions.

Bob Sinclair: Frankie?

Frankie Garnett: Sorry, I can't promise anything. Controversy equals ratings after all!

Tori Montgomery: Why you--!

Tarik Nolan (1-2, 6%) vs. Diamond (1-2, 15%)

Bob Sinclair: Tori, calm down. He's not worth it. Let's get to the action, and Amelia Williams in the ring.

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1plPyJdXKIY?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0 x6b8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> "Regulate" hits the speakers, immediately drawing the ire of the crowd as a large figure stands in the entryway, backlit by a clear spotlight. Pyro explodes on the stage, causing the light to shut off as the figure finally emerges onto the stage proper. Laughing at the boos hurled in his direction, he takes his time walking to the ring and subsequently entering it for his next match.

Amelia Williams: Our opening contest for this week is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighing 292 pounds...Tarik Nolan!

Bob Sinclair: After the season Nolan had last season, I'm surprised that he is struggling so far in this one.

Frankie Garnett: You see, Scorpion has it right! The entirety of last season's Gamma Division were juicing!

Tori Montgomery: Surely you can't believe the drivel that comes from your mouth, Frankie.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PtYxDa-l-D0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The familiar tune hits the arena to a mixed reaction as The League's lone female member emerges from backstage. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction while her manager stands outside, also applauding her client.

Amelia Williams: (opening) accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond!

Bob Sinclair: Diamond debuted a new finisher last week en route to earning her first win of the season.

Tori Montgomery: What I'm more shocked about, Bob, is the non-factor that Jayde has been at ringside so far this season. With all of the paperwork that a managerial license entails, I'm surprised that Jayde has been as quiet as she has been.

Frankie Garnett: That's because she's only good for backstage activities, if you know what I mean...

Bob Sinclair: Will you stop?!

1!
2!
This Could Be It!
The referee's hand starts coming down...
3!
The fans start a chant of 'That Match Sucked'.

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, in a time of five and a half minutes...Diamond!

Bob Sinclair: And Diamond once again with that three-quarters neckbreaker that she used to great effect last week. That might have been the missing piece of the puzzle!

Tori Montgomery: Once again, Jayde is a non-factor, but it's not needed as Diamond makes quick work of the much larger Tarik Nolan!

Frankie Garnett: She still has a lot to prove to me that she's a playoff contender before I treat her seriously. Anyone can have a fluke season, just ask The Phoenix.

DELTA DIVISION: SGRaaize (0-3, 15%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-2, 14%)

Bob Sinclair: In any event, this is the first of four divisional matches on our card tonight. At stake is staying out of the cellar of the Delta Division in this contest.

Frankie Garnett: Like these two are going to go anywhere else?

Tori Montgomery: I think this could be a good match, Frankie. Just because your favorites aren't in it doesn't mean that you need to put it down.

Frankie Garnett: Favoritism? Me?

Bob Sinclair: She's got a point, Frankie. Why else are you wearing a Scott Stevens shirt under your sports jacket?

Frankie Garnett: ...shut up!

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/BZuokfaRcR8?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x234900&color2=0 x4e9e00" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> A Portugesa hits the speakers to a rousing chorus of jeers as the Tron displays the national flag of Portugal. Emerging from the entryway, he turns to salute his homeland's flag before calmly walking to the ring, ignoring the fans as he slides into the ring and bounces off the ropes a couple of times to stretch.

Amelia Williams: This is a Delta Division match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Torres Vedras, Portugal, weighing 231 pounds...SGRaaize!

Bob Sinclair: Raaize has not been one of the most successful wrestlers in The League, but I hear rumors that he has a bet going with one of the guys backstage.

Tori Montgomery: Oh, I think I heard about this. Didn't he call it a "toxx" or something?

Frankie Garnett: What in the blue hell is that?

Tori Montgomery: Why don't you ask him?

Frankie Garnett: Pfft, effort.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SurqXyOjLxE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The driving metal of Slayer's "Raining Blood" hit the speakers as the lone luchador in The League emerges from backstage. His mask is obscured by the smoke billowing around him, and it is a blood-red spotlight that follows him to the ring as he hops over the top rope and paces back and forth, waiting impatiently for the match to begin.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Tijuana, Mexico, weighing 142 pounds...he is El Demonio de Sangre!

Bob Sinclair: Demonio has been full of surprises this season, taking out Season Two rookie standout Sebastian Moore and nearly doing the same to Tarik Nolan last week.

Tori Montgomery: I think his problem is that he relies on the top rope for a finisher. By the time he gets to the top, his opponent is either standing or has the wherewithal to get out of the way.

Frankie Garnett: See, Tori, it's the mask. The mask lowers the wearer's intelligence by 10 points.

Tori Montgomery: What is this, Dungeons and Dragons?

Frankie Garnett: Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, Tori.

Bob Sinclair: ...I've heard it all now, ladies and gentlemen.

Bob Sinclair: Fairly even match so far, but I'm not sure why the fans are jeering SGRaaize right now.

Tori Montgomery: The fans don't know who to get behind, Bob. Neither man is noted as being a fan favorite.

Frankie Garnett: And why should they? Fan favorites get beaten ruthlessly by those who care about just getting the job done!

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of twenty-three minutes and fifty seconds...SGRaaize!

Bob Sinclair: I think we have an early contender for Match of the Night!

Tori Montgomery: No kidding, Bob. I thought Demonio would have had it after hitting that Black No. 1, but Raaize had other ideas this night. I'm looking forward to the rematch!

Frankie Garnett: And when is that?

Tori Montgomery: Last week of the season, in Scotland.

Super Century (2-1, 18%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (2-1, 11%)

Frankie Garnett: So I have two months to get myself banned from the UK. Got it.

Tori Montgomery: ...

Bob Sinclair: In any event, our next match pits one of the rookies this season against someone who is surprising a lot of folks so far this season.

Tori Montgomery: No kidding. If you'd have told me that three weeks in, Super Century would have a winning record, I'd have called you an idiot. Yet here we are, with a pair of 2-1 records about to collide.

Frankie Garnett: Tori, less talking and more maiming of the superhero by the psychopath!

Without warning, all of the lights go off in the arena, casting everything into pitch blackness. A few seconds pass before a spotlight shines on one of the turnbuckles, revealing no one there. This is repeated with all four turnbuckles, each revealing no one there. Finally, one last spotlight shines down onto the middle of the ring, which reveals the caped form of The League's resident superhero, who stands with arms folded and staring intently into the audience.

Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from the Halls of Justice, weighing 205 pounds...Super Century!

Frankie Garnett: I still don't get this guy.

Tori Montgomery: You don't need to. The fans seem to get him well enough without you ruining things.

Bob Sinclair: I will admit that there seem to be a lot of Century supporters out here tonight. This could be a red-letter night for the youngster.

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GyzbQ0Gdg3w?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Escape the Fate's "This War is Ours" hits the arena speakers as The League's newest resident psychopath emerges and heads towards the ring, looking like he's having an argument with voices only he can hear. As he slides under the bottom rope, he slaps himself across the face, his eyes slowly focusing on the opposing corner.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from The Dog Pound, weighing 251 pounds...Ezekial Kerghan!

Tori Montgomery: You see, there's unsettled, there's off the deep end, and then there's this guy.

Bob Sinclair: His methods are definitely unorthodox, but they've done well for him so far this season.

Frankie Garnett: And in the end, that's all that matters!

Kick Out Just Before The Two!

Bob Sinclair: I think the lack of bulk on Century was what led to the quick kick out by Kerghan there.

Frankie Garnett: That's something that Hammerskald and Skabb have going for them. When they cover you, you have to struggle to get out.

Tori Montgomery: I'm surprised. You didn't go—

Frankie Garnett: Then again, when Phoenix covers you, you have to kick out to avoid suffocating.

Tori Montgomery: ...I rescind my point.

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of six minutes and twenty seconds...Ezekial Kerghan!

Bob Sinclair: And Kerghan wastes little time in ascending to a 3-1 record and keeping the pressure on the Beta Division leader, Scott Stevens!

Tori Montgomery: Who won't be undefeated for much longer.

Frankie Garnett: Look, just because you've gotten lucky and have picked three matches correct so far doesn't give you the right to put down Scorpion like that!

Tori Montgomery: Then by all means, Frankie. Try to beat me.

Thor Hammerskald (1-2, 15%) vs. The Phoenix (1-2, 15%)

Frankie Garnett: No, I don't want to embarrass everyone else.

Bob Sinclair: In any event, coming up next is what's essentially a must-win for both men.

Tori Montgomery: No kidding, Bob. For Thor, his quest for making a run at the Alpha Division title requires a win tonight, while for his opponent, a win salvages his season in the early stages.

Frankie Garnett: Like the 'Roid Monster' is going to win without his pills.

Bob Sinclair: Frankie, how often do you need to be told that he's tested clean every week before it starts to sink into your head?

Frankie Garnett: NEVER!

Tori Montgomery: Oy....

Amelia Williams: This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald!

Tori Montgomery: So, Frankie, any truth to the rumors I hear that you may be managing Mr. Hammerskald next season?

Frankie Garnett: No comment, by order of my bookie.

Bob Sinclair: Good grief.

Twin pillars of flame erupt from the entrance stage, one per side, as The League's largest member walks to the ring, a smaller figure walking beside him on his left. As he approaches the steps, he pauses, bowing his head for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and releasing a shout to the skies above. His wife reaches up and gives him a quick peck on the cheek for luck as he ducks between the ropes and finishes his stretching..

Amelia Williams: His opponent , being accompanied to the ring by Te'Snilo Bradenbury, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds...this is The Phoenix!

Bob Sinclair: Miss Bradenbury is someone else who we've seen very little of this season, Tori.

Tori Montgomery: Which baffles me, truly. Everywhere else, managers are always running interference or interrupting matches. I wonder why she and Jayde don't.

Frankie Garnett: Because they're scared, Tori. Fairly certain.

Frankie Garnett: Nope! My doctors told me that I hve selective hearing and vision.

Tori Montgomery: That explains so much.

GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (2-1, 15%) vs. Ian Carlisle (1-2, 15%)

Frankie Garnett: Hey!

Bob Sinclair: Coming up the second of our divisional matches tonight. It's Sean, the lone man to make the playoffs in both seasons so far, facing against Ian Carlisle who is coming off an upset victory over Johnny Triumph.

Frankie Garnett: No way lightning strikes twice, you two!

Tori Montgomery: You'd be surprised, Frankie. Amelia?

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GECit4oSpbk?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x402061&color2=0 x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> Black Sabbath's classic "Iron Man" hits the arena speakers, as strobe lights begin to flash in the entryway. Fog rolls in from the entrance proper as a figure emerges, walking slowly to the ring and mentally preparing for what's ahead of him. He slides in under the bottom rope and walks over to one of the nearby turnbuckles, leaning up against them as the song fades.

Amelia Williams: This is a Gamma Division match scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 230 pounds...Sean!

Tori Montgomery: Sean is a heavy favorite in this one, as I've been told that Carlisle is a 6-1 pick in some areas.

Frankie Garnett: Maybe I should get over there!

Bob Sinclair: SIT DOWN, Frankie!

No music heralds the arrival of one of this season's rookies, as he makes his way to the ring without trying to let any emotions become visible on his face.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Blackpool, England, weighing 222 pounds...Ian Carlisle!

Frankie Garnett: Seriously, is it that hard to get theme music?

Tori Montgomery: Maybe he doesn't want one yet. Best to get some time under your belt, after all.

Bob Sinclair: Tori has a point.

Frankie Garnett: That's because no one wants to believe the truth.

Johnny Triumph (2-1, 15%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-0, 15%)

Tori Montgomery: Sorry, Frankie, but the cake is indeed a lie.

Frankie Garnett: That's not what I meant!!

Bob Sinclair: Coming up next, ladies and gentlemen, is a match that many are saying should have been the main event. There's been a lot of talk from Scott Stevens this past week, and there are quite a few people out there who are hoping that he gets put in his place tonight.

Tori Montgomery: Me being one of them.

Frankie Garnett: Biased, the both of you!

Tori Montgomery: Pot, kettle...

Bob Sinclair: Amelia, get us started before we have a match down here!

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Cc6rpM7RtB0?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> A remixed version of "Ecstasy of Gold" hits the speakers, which is nearly drowned out in jeers as he emerges from the entryway, a rain of golden sparks falling behind him as he walks to the ring with a confident look on his face and the League Championship belt draped over his right shoulder. Instead of taking the steps closest to him, he walks around to the opposite side of the ring, drawing in more jeers as he finally climbs the steps and enters the ring.

Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing 228 pounds, he is the reigning League Champion...Johnny Triumph!

Tori Montgomery: I must say that I'm impressed with our merchandising crew. This is the first time the belt has been seen on television and I can see at least three dozen replicas in the audience tonight!

Frankie Garnett: Why was there a delay with getting the belt?

Bob Sinclair: Apparently, Triumph wanted the belt cast in his own image. However, that stuff only flies in SWF, and so the belt was finally finished earlier this week.

Frankie Garnett: Ah....

The lights in the arena go pitch black, and a blue spotlight lights up the area. Over the audio system you hear a smooth sounding guitar start up with the soothing voice of a female singing, "Johnny, Angry Johnny, This is Jezebel in Hell." Out from the back emerges "The Venomous One" wearing a replica of The League's World Championship around his waist. This causes the crowd to start booing as "Angry Johnny" by Poe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebC0n76jP5w) continues playing, and the man in question walks to the ring, talking trash the whole way while showing off his title belt.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Houston, Texas, weighing 265 pounds...He is "The League's Real World's Heavyweight Champion"... "The Scorpion" Scott Stevens!

Tori Montgomery: Can this egomaniac get any more full of himself? What the hell is he thinking? And why did he pick a song that is emo as all get out?

Bob Sinclair: That assumes he is thinking, Tori. I think that unlikely.

Frankie Garnett: You two don't seem to get it. Scorpion said it himself he was handpicked by the owner to lead this company into the future, that's why he is wearing that championship belt around his waist. He is the true champion of this company, not that paperweight champion Triumph. Besides he told me he chose this tune this week to slay the savage beast since Johnny is a megalomaniac and he is trying to tame the beast.

Tori Montgomery: ...I will laugh if Stevens gets beat within ten minutes. Besides, the expression is "paper champion," you uneducated oaf!

GAMMA DIVISION: Robbie Maynard (2-1, 15%) vs. Maxx Skabb (2-1, 21%)

Bob Sinclair: Can the argument until we're off-air, you two. We still have two more divisional matches on the card tonight. Amelia?

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_z-hEyVQDRA?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b 8ab6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> The opening riffs of Metallica's "Master of Puppets" hits the speakers, drawing a mixed reaction from the crowd as one of the League's initial playoff wrestlers emerges from the stage, bathed in a blue light shining beneath him. After pausing to mentally prepare himself, he walks to the ring, his eyes never leaving the squared circle as he climbs onto the apron and ducks between the ropes.

Amelia Williams: This is a Gamma Division bout scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Liverpool, England, weighing 251 pounds...Robbie Maynard!

Bob Sinclair: Tori, you still think this is Maynard's season?

Tori Montgomery: Yes, I do. Maynard just seems to have that drive this season, as if he knew he can't afford another mediocre season like last time.

Frankie Garnett: Has he been checked for PED's?

Bob Sinclair: Everyone is tested every week. How Triumph hasn't been caught is beyond me.

Frankie Garnett: ....

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ApmKHzFLR1g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Avenged Sevenfold's "Nightmare" blares throughout the arena as spotlights begin to pan over the audience, as if looking for someone. A dim red light shines on the entryway, revealing a hulking figure making his way to ringside. As the refrain hits, the spotlights immediately focus on him as white strobe lights flash on the entrance stage. He slides under the bottom rope, his orange jumpsuit a stark contrast to most of the clothing in the audience as the song fades into silence.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from the Orange County Correctional Facility, weighing 289 pounds...Maxx Skabb!

Bob Sinclair: I'm looking forward to this match.

Frankie Garnett: Why, as a remedy to insomnia?

The referee has called for the bell!

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of eight and a half minutes...Robbie Maynard!

Bob Sinclair: Maynard, with that win, ties for a share of the Gamma Division lead!

Tori Montgomery: But Sean has the tie-breaker, though. He's the outright leader.

Frankie Garnett: Bah, who cares? Let's get to the main event already, I'm ready to go home!

DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-3, 18%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (3-0, 21%)

Bob Sinclair: Why the rush, Frankie?

Frankie Garnett: None of your business.

Bob Sinclair: ...okay...Amelia?

Looking up at the spotlight for a moment, his smirk seems to get even bigger as he walks down the ramp, ignoring the catcalls of the crowd as he ascends the steps, wipes his feet on the apron, and steps through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: Our main event of the evening is a Delta Division contest scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Manchester, England, weighing 237 pounds...Sebastian Moore!

Bob Sinclair: Moore has struggled this season after a 10-4 run last season. He needs this win in order to salvage any hope of a playoff run.

Frankie Garnett: He's just a one-hit wonder, Bob. An afterthought and nothing more.

Tori Montgomery: If he loses tonight, Frankie, he might just be.

As he hits the end of the entrance ramp, he throws his arms into the air, sending a pair of mushroom clouds into the air from the stage as he makes his way to the ring and through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds...Nuclear Templeton!

Bob Sinclair: Nuclear, with a win, will be the last undefeated member of The League heading into the second quarter.

Tori Montgomery: Wait, we're going by quarters now, too? Why didn't I get that memo?

Bob Sinclair: Just an example, Tori. Relax.

Frankie Garnett: Yeah, don't go all emotional on us or something.

Tori Montgomery: ...not cool, Frankie.

Comments on the Last Show

Diamond defeats Tarik Nolan: Kinda feel better for having lost last show so easily :P. Diamond is making a rebound and might have a chance in her league after all

SGRaaize defeats El Demonio de Sangre: My first win, feels good, that took a lot from me, though, awesome match. I'm still disappointed my Portugal Lock is useless, though.

Ezekial Khergan defeats Super Century: Yep, was expecting this, Ezekial has proved he's a very well built fighter, Super Century had no chance.

Thor Hammerskald defeats The Phoenix: Surprising, everything pointed out The Phoenix was gonna win this one, but Thor goes against his bad luck, destroys him early on and never truly lets him come back.

Sean defeats Ian Carlisle: Always bet on Sean.

Johnny Triumph defeats Scott Stevens: Biggest upset of the night, in my mind, Scott Stevens and Ezekial Khergan are now face-to-face on their division, meanwhile, Johnny Triumph does the unthinkable and dominates Steven, wasn't feeling Triumph this season, but I was clearly mistaken.

Robbie Maynard defeats Maxx Skabb: Wow, Robbie defeats Skabb, the man that completely dominated Sean, I am surprised. Another big upset. Sean and Maynard are now face to face on their division.

Nuclear Templeton defeats Sebastian Moore: Was anyone honestly expecting anything else? Quick and to the point match.

Predictions for the Next Show:

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)
This is so The Phoenix's its not even funny, the moveset, the popularity advantage.

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)
Nuclear Templeton has this, undoubtly.

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)
Diamond has been on a rebound, Thor also dis pretty well this past show, these fighters never faced before, and they have equal popularity, Coinflip prediction, I'm betting on Diamond

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)
Always beat on Sean

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)
Always bet on the man that beat Sean

Robbie Maynard (3-1, 11%) vs. SGRaaize (1-3, 23%)
I have 12% popularity more, this matchup comes at 3-0 for me, if I can't win this one, I seriously have no chance of ever being a champion in my lifetime.

Johnny Triumph (3-1, 21%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-1, 15%)
I think Ezekial is one of the greatest fighters in this division, but I can't help but think he's gonna get dominated by Triumph, specially with the popularity advantage.

Tarik Nolan (1-3, 20%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-1, 18%)
Scott Stevens has been an awesome fighter that has been fighting his way through the division, Tarik has been disappointing. Even though Tarik has 2 reputation advantage and this matchup is at 1-0 for him, I think Scott Stevens has this.

Despite the 1-3 record I'm pretty happy with my season so far. Every match has been competitive and I have 2 MOTN's. I'm sure the victories will start rolling in soon. :cool:

Woo! Good match.

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)

I have tasted the Zero Grav. It will bust the face that Thor softened up.

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)

Yup.

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)

Thor smash shiny lady!

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)

I didn't think a leg was supposed to twist that way...

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)

Psycho needs a morale booster.

Robbie Maynard (3-1, 11%) vs. SGRaaize (1-3, 23%)

Maynard's good, but I think the man from Portugal can outlast him.

Johnny Triumph (3-1, 21%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-1, 15%)

Only reason I call it this way is the popularity difference.

Tarik Nolan (1-3, 20%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-1, 18%)

As much as I hate to...*spits*

I have to tip my hat off to Mr. Triumph. I knew he had high technical skills, but they must have been higher than I thought. I thought I had enough of it countered to pull out the victory but that wasn't the case. Plus you survived my Archnophobia submission and you also avoided it from being applied again and the Toxic Sting as well. Good match sir.

Johnny Triumph defeats Scott Stevens: Biggest upset of the night, in my mind, Scott Stevens and Ezekial Khergan are now face-to-face on their division, meanwhile, Johnny Triumph does the unthinkable and dominates Steven, wasn't feeling Triumph this season, but I was clearly mistaken.

Well, he didn't dominate. From the write up his offense was only 50% ;)

March 22, 2011

http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae344/ShadowedFlames/GDS%20League%20Stuff/BeyondRingsideBanner.jpg

And then...there was only one remaining. Nuclear Templeton stands alone as the last undefeated wrestler this season, but can he eclipse the record of 7-0 set last season? His road to perfection continues this week!

Hello again, League fans! Tori Montgomery here, relishing in a vast turnaround from a few weeks back in the prediction game, and thoroughly enjoying all of the twists and turns that this season is generating. And to think that we are still three months away from the playoffs!

In any event, there's a lot to go over this week, so let's hop to it!

All ties this week are broken via Average Match Rating (AMR).

2. Robbie Maynard (3-1, 3.750 AMR)
3. Maxx Skabb (2-2, 5.500 AMR)

3. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 8.250 AMR)

The Phoenix: 15.0000 -> 17.2160
Thor Hammerskald: 15.0000 -> 20.1840

COUNTDOWN TO TAG TEAM TURMOIL
Five weeks separate us from Tag Team Turmoil. We now have a sixth team comfirmed, leaving the available pool rather shallow at this point. The updated roster is listed below:

"Norse Code:" Maxx Skabb and Thor Hammerskald
"Team LARIATO:" Nuclear Templeton and SGRaaize
Diamond and Ezekial Kerghan
"The Century of the Scorpion:" Scott Stevens and Super Century
Tarik Nolan and The Phoenix
Newly added this week: El Demonio de Sangre and Robbie Maynard

For those of you following along, that means that the following League members currently do not have partners: Ian Carlisle, Sebastian Moore, Sean, and Johnny Triumph. As soon as all eight teams are formed, brackets will be made and posted here exclusively on Beyond Ringside. If you see them anywhere else before then, they are like Portal's cake: a lie.

BY THE NUMBERS
We're returning to our realm of subjective numbers and not concrete data this week, just to annoy you statisticians out there reading. :) We're focusing on how "in shape" the League is this week with our two selections.

LEAGUE LEADERS: STAMINA
1. Robbie Maynard
2. Nuclear Templeton
3. Ezekial Kerghan
4. SGRaaize
5. Diamond

LEAGUE LEADERS: ATHLETICISM
1. Robbie Maynard
2. Super Century
3. Ezekial Kerghan
4. El Demonio de Sangre
5. Sean

PREDICTION CENTRAL

After going 0-for-8 earlier in the season, I somehow managed to get all eight picks correct, which salvages my hopes for this season. The zero-correct streak stops at two weeks, as the low score was 3 this week.

Mr. Jman2k3 claims the top spot on the leaderboard this week, with former prediction winner Miss moon_lit_tears well within striking distance.

Maximum points available last week: 14.43 (81.20 for the season)

1. Jman2k3: 45.53 points (9.17 last week), 22 total picks correct.
2. moon_lit_tears: 39.96 points (12.29 last week), 22 total picks correct.
3. masterded: 36.81 points (9.43 last week), 21 total picks correct.
4. Dangrel: 34.80 points (11.92 last week), 17 total picks correct.
5. Wrestling Century: 33.00 points (5.01 last week), 15 total picks correct.
6. Ranson: 30.30 points (8.54 last week), 20 total picks correct.
7. Prophet: 29.21 points (6.04 last week), 19 total picks correct.
8. Tori Montgomery: 27.88 points (14.43 last week), 15 total picks correct.
9. MichiganHero: 27.55 points (7.45 last week), 18 total picks correct.
10. Derek B: 27.46 points (5.73 last week), 17 total picks correct.
11. I Effin Rule: 26.88 points (7.56 last week), 16 total picks correct.
12. SGRaaize: 25.20 points (5.79 last week), 16 total picks correct.
13. GruntMark: 24.87 points (3.65 last week), 16 total picks correct.
14. Comradebot: 22.75 points (0.00 last week), 14 total picks correct.
15. Ian Carlisle: 21.05 points (7.77 last week), 14 total picks correct.
16. Jaded: 13.67 points (0.00 last week), 7 total picks correct.
17. SeanMcG: 13.40 points (5.01 last week), 9 total picks correct.

Toronto hosts The League this week. No divisional matches on the card this week, which could make for some interesting matches. Let's take a look.

WEEK FIVE: TORONTO, ONTARIO (Canada—Ontario)
(Regular style match, blood stoppages enforced, ref bumps allowed)

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)
(Career Series: The Phoenix, 1 - 0)
I'm basing this pick on one reason, and one reason only: The Phoenix is 7-0 in his career when wrestling in Toronto, and the first major singles championship win in his career came in Toronto. This is home away from home for the big man, and he will take advantage of this despite having very few moves that can make his opponent bleed.
Tori's Pick: The Phoenix

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
Ian Carlisle draws the unfortunate task of trying to stop Nuclear's undefeated season. Four words for you, Ian: Not happening this week.
Tori's Pick: Nuclear Templeton

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
If you'd asked me three weeks ago, I'd have said that this match was Hammerskald's to lose. Now, though, it's closer than one may think. I'm going to play a hunch here and give Diamond the upset nod, based off of her new finisher.
Tori's Pick: Diamond

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)
(Career Series: Sean, 2 - 0)
Divisional rivals last season, Sean swept the series against Demonio. Not going to bet against a third victory here; Sean has practically every advantage in this match.
Tori's Pick: Sean

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)
(Career Series: Sebastian Moore, 2 - 0)
However, in this case, I have to go against history. Moore has struggled this season, and Skabb should take advantage of that fact in quick order. If Maxx loses this match, I will be shocked.
Tori's Pick: Maxx Skabb

Robbie Maynard (3-1, 11%) vs. SGRaaize (1-3, 23%)
(Career Series: SGRaaize, 3 - 1)
That's right, folks. That's not a typo above. Maynard's lone win came back in week eight of the first season, though he barely squeaked out with less than 40% offense in that match. Raaize has won the following three matches, bringing us to this point. There's a huge popularity difference, but Raaize made up a similar difference in their first meeting last season, under similar rules.

Yes, folks, I do my research.

That said, there is precedent for huge popularity differences being overcome, and I'm going with my dark-horse once again this week. Match of the Night, I'm calling it now.
Tori's Pick: Robbie Maynard

Johnny Triumph (3-1, 21%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-1, 15%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
Now this is intriguing. Kerghan's been on a tear this season, while Triumph is coming off knocking off the heretofore undefeated Scott Stevens. Both men have momentum, but I'm banking on the experience of Triumph to be the trump card.
Tori's Pick: Johnny Triumph

Tarik Nolan (1-3, 20%) vs. Scott Stevens (3-1, 18%)
(Career Series: Tarik Nolan, 1 - 0)
"Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it." I think Stevens will be mentally off his game after being forced to tap out to the League Champion last week, and Tarik will take advantage with a much needed win.
Tori's Pick: Tarik Nolan

Canada will continue to play host next week, as we head just a bit west to Quebec. But until then, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)
Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)
Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)
Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)

w00t! Nuclear is on a roll just now, just gotta keep taking each match as it comes and try to go undefeated forever and ever and ever and ever from now on. That said... if he is to actually beat last season's record for staying unbeaten Nuclear would have to win a bunch of matches leading up to a cage match with Sean... I can already see that being an awesome match, no matter what state Nuclear's winning streak is in by then. :)

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)
Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)

Johnny Triumph feels he can win with anyone, which is why he now has an open invitation to any of the 3 available wrestlers to join Team Triumph for the Tag Tournament. :D

In case it needs to be said, Triumph accepts.

And with that, the field of eight teams is set. If things work in my favor tomorrow (trial by fire of learning new job duties, woo-hoo!), there might be a spot in the beginning of this thread somewhere that will have the brackets for the tournament posted when the show gets posted as well.

Speaking of, I'm about to run said show. If it doesn't take too long to run all the matches, I'll try to get teasers up before my self-enforced early bedtime tonight.

03-27-2011, 08:35 PM

And with the show run, here's what to look for tomorrow night....

WEEK FIVE TEASERS

First off, blood was spilled in a match other than the First Blood match.
The Match of the Night is the only match to exceed twenty minutes and in which both participants seemed reluctant to use finishers.
One person was absolutely robbed of a win thanks to an untimely ref bump.
This was truly a "feast or famine" card, as half the matches were F rated...the other half were A or A* rated.

Details coming tomorrow night, when the show airs!

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/fyreclaw/Renders/FloggSplash.jpg

[The Flogg Splash's traditional opening plays, as Johnny Triumph's theme blares over the substandard graphics. As the image fades away, though, we're greeted by a new setting. Instead of Flogg's dorm room, we're greeted by hundreds of people mulling around a vacant warehouse. Some are dressed as their favorite science fiction characters, including a heavily obese man, wearing a silver sparkled storm trooper helmet, who lumbers, and collapses through a small cubicle wall, disrupting the booth dedicated to Space Battles, a movie franchise that had three classic films in the 1970's, yet tried to reboot the series in the late 1990's to less than stellar reviews, due to pedantic storylines, and the introduction of the single most annoying character to ever be seen on film, Jim Jam Bankeroo.]

[The image switches from the chaos, to a small booth with a large video screen. Our favorite blogger is recognized, his back to the camera, as he mashes buttons on a handheld controller. The screen reveals the League: the Video Game, and on the screen, Johnny Triumph is abusing Maxx Skabb, beating him from pillar to post, usually using cheap moves when Maxx is trying to rise to his feet. Finally, a groggy avatar of the psychotic convict rises to his feet, only to be met with a low blow, crumpling to the ground, and into the Horns of Victory. After Maxx taps out, Flogg drops his controller, and begins taunting his opponent, using less than family friendly language, causing the seven year old boy to run off crying. With a final point and laugh, Flogg turns to his camera, a giant smile on his face as he does.]

Flogg: Hello floggers and bloggers, and welcome to the newest installment of the Flogg Splash! As always, I am your presenter, denter and renter, well within the center, that all women want to … take home … Joshua Flogg! And we have a jammed pack version of the Splash today. First, you may have noticed I'm on the road. That's right, I'm in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, at Nerdapalooza 2011, where they have officially released the first version of “The League: The Game” … and it is spectacular! And who would've doubted, with the greatest champion in the history of ever … EVER … dominating the virtual League, just like he does in the real one? You may have also noticed I'm not on my laptop this week … since my incident last week, I've switched to a handheld camera, which can be uploaded. So I'd like to present my cameraman Thomas “Twitchy” Willinger. Say hi Twitchy!

[The cameraman spins the camera around to reveal a blond gentleman with Einstein hair. He has a geeky half smile, with thin lips that slightly obscure the giant braces concealed underneath, and coke lens glasses. As he raises his hand to wave towards the camera, his head involuntarily twitches to the left, a violent jerk that skewers his glasses, and seems to shut down all thoughts he has at the moment.]

Flogg: Twitchy got his name after he touched an electric fence on a dare. Poor kid wet himself when he touched it, making the whole thing worse. Anyway, it's time for us to jump into the deep end of the rumor pool … and we have no graphics for this. It's time for Splash Down! First things first … apparently the tag team turmoil has been set. Johnny Triumph is teaming with newcomer Ian Carlisle, and from what I've been told … is already in the finals of the tournament. According to a League source, it's a given that Triumph is going to win, so why waste everybody's time and ruin the morale of a perfectly acceptable, albeit nowhere near as talented as Triumph, roster. And I say good call, League. About time you treated the champion with the respect he deserves!

Another rumor rumbling around has to do with the managers of the League. Someone close to the situation has informed me that there's a lot of controversy, due to the limited interaction these women have at ringside, and while some fans are a bit upset by this turnaround, this source has told me that it is, in fact, by design. He said, quote, “if these women get involved in matches, it's going to cause a rush of managers, including fans who follow the show applying for licenses. And we can't every yahoo who knows about the League be a part of our show, can we?” I'm sure he had more to say, but security escorted me away from his car at the drive thru for my own safety.

Nuclear Templeton's name has also sprung up in the rumor mill. The last clean record in the League, I've heard his name popped up on the performance enhancing list. Unfortunately, it couldn't be proven, as the mandatory drug test only screens for known PEDs, and not for the unconventional treatment has undergone, where he pumps pure Uranium 235 into his blood stream. He is, however, the only member of the League who has to urinate into a lead cup.

Our final rumor this week involves one Tori Montgomery. After her abysmal predicting a few weeks ago, she has rebounded strong, including one week where she went perfect. I have been told by a source close to the situation that this is no accident. Apparently Miss Montgomery has become very close with senior League referee Mike Cohan, and for a small sum of money, she's been fixing matches. This source says it's an obviously petty attempt to ruin his luck at the Off League Betting, however, Mr. Garnett asked I not mention him by name in my report.

Oops …

[Flogg drops his head for a moment, sheltering his eyes under his Beiber bangs, before shaking off his error.]

Flogg: I'll fix that later. Anyway, it's time for our Flogg-Sclusive, and this week is going to be an entirely new experience. For this week, our interview will happen here … at Nerdapalooza! That's right, a member of the League is right here … now I just need to find him.

[As Flogg goes off in search of this mystery man, the camera pans to a sign that reads “Come meet the League's resident super hero, Super Century!” It then pans to a table, where Century sits, in full costume, taking a picture with the seven year old who Flogg made cry earlier in the day. The camera pans back to Flogg, who continues to scour the crowd, seeking the mysterious super hero. Finally, Flogg stops at a gentleman in a suit and tie, who seems to be representing a big time corporation.]

Flogg: A-ha, thought you could hide from me, did you? Well, your alter ego is shoddy, and it's quite obvious you're the masked hero of the League. So why not cut out the charade, so we can do a Flogg-sclusive!

[The man in the suit looks at Flogg quizzically for a moment, before turning a shoulder to walk away. Flogg, however, won't take no for an answer, and jumps in front of the well dressed gentleman, before pulling a jar of peanut butter from a small shoulder bag.]

Flogg: That's right, Super Century … I know your weakness. Recoil at the chunky power of peanut butter!

[The suited man sighs heavily, before turning a shoulder once more. He doesn't move this time, however, instead pulling a cell phone from his jacket pocket. Meanwhile, across the way, Century leads his legions of fans, mostly kids idolizing their doer of good deeds, in a chant of his name. As the rallying cry of “Century, Century, Century” rings through the warehouse, Flogg stands undaunted in front of his mistaken target. After a few moments, two large men in black t-shirts approach Flogg and Twitchy, pushing them back as the gentleman in the suit passes. After the obligatory threat of never approaching Mr. Satchel, organizer of the event, again, the smaller of the two brutes steals Flogg's peanut butter, before unscrewing the top, and digging his fingers in. As the burly men walk away, a defeated Flogg turns back to the camera, never aware that his target was a mere fifty feet away.]

Flogg: I apologize Floggers, but it seems that Mr. Century is so committed to his gimmick, that he's hired personal security. Seems silly to pose as the guy who runs Nerdapalooza, though. Anyway, it's time for …

[Flogg loses his train of thought, as someone walks past, dressed as Japanese anime character, and for some, sexual desire, Sailor Moon. The figure wears a large plush head, with blond pigtails, and a school girl outfit that might make Ron Jeremy blush. The figure looks Flogg over, and after a slightly effeminate giggle, beckons Flogg over. Immediately, our favorite blogger reverts to his more carnal, perverse form, and follows the character, who swoops him up in “her” arms. It's much easier to tell that this Sailor Moon is, in fact, a six foot six man, who may dwarf half of the League's roster. Easier to tell to everyone whose name isn't the marquee of a wrestling video blog, that is. As Sailor Moon carries Flogg off to who knows where, Twitchy spins the camera back to himself, still with that geeky half smile. Without a word, he waves to the camera once more, before spotting a gentleman dressed as vile Space Battles character Jim Jam Bankeroo. Twitchy squeals, and quickly hits the little red button, shutting down this edition of the Splash.]

Season Three, Week Five
Toronto, Ontario
March 28, 2011

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JyxBiUbCP8E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></object> THE LEAGUE: SEASON THREE, WEEK FIVE

A crowd of 16,062 greet the cameras as the show goes live, their cheers nearly drowning out the obligatory pyro that signals the show's start. As the explosions die down, the camera catches a number of signs in its view, the majority of which are showing support for SGRaaize, a mixed reaction for Sean, and quite a few linking Johnny Triumph to a now-defunct Winnipeg NHL club.

Apparently, Toronto loves hockey. Who knew?

In any event, we quickly head to ringside and our usual announce team.

Bob Sinclair: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to the fifth week of The League! Bob Sinclair, here at ringside along with the usual suspects—Frankie Garnett and Tori Montgomery. Tonight, Nuclear Templeton looks to go to a perfect 5-0 record, Sebastian Moore looks to get his first win, and someone is going to bleed tonight!

Frankie Garnett: Frankly, I don't care who bleeds in our opening match. It would be fitting for them to bust each other open simultaneously and deny both of them the win.

Tori Montgomery: Personally, I'm looking forward to our pre-main event, with a pair of 3-1 records facing off against each other. That one is going to be one I keep an eye on.

Frankie Garnett: I'm watching all of the matches, honestly. I don't trust the referees, especially after you went perfect a couple of weeks back, Tori.

Tori Montgomery: So you're not denying that you talked to Kermit?

FIRST BLOOD MATCH: Super Century (2-2, 13%) vs. The Phoenix (1-3, 17%)

Frankie Garnett: ...Who?

Bob Sinclair: In any event, we're starting off tonight's festivities with a promise of blood to be spilled. Let's go to the resident voice of The League, Amelia Williams, to get us started tonight!

Amelia Williams: Ladies and gentlemen, the opening contest of Week Five is a First Blood match! The first participant who makes their opponent bleed wins the match!

Without warning, all of the lights go off in the arena, casting everything into pitch blackness. A few seconds pass before a spotlight shines on one of the turnbuckles, revealing no one there. This is repeated with all four turnbuckles, each revealing no one there. Finally, one last spotlight shines down onto the middle of the ring, which reveals the caped form of The League's resident superhero, who stands with arms folded and staring intently into the audience.

Amelia Williams: Introducing first, from the Halls of Justice, weighing 205 pounds...Super Century!

Bob Sinclair: I'm not sure I like Century's chances in this match.

Tori Montgomery: A lot of people agree with you, Bob. Century is nearly a 7-1 underdog coming into this match.

Frankie Garnett: It would have been 10-1, but I've got a thousand on Century.

Bob Sinclair: Frankie, I thought you didn't like Super Century.

Frankie Garnett: Lesser of two evils by about a ton.

Bob Sinclair: ....

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/avPSzGVCPH0?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0 xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> The opening chords of "The Instinct" hit as the entryway is bathed in a fiery orange light. Twin pillars of flame erupt from the entrance stage, one per side, as The League's largest member walks to the ring, a smaller figure walking beside him on his left. As he approaches the steps, he pauses, bowing his head for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and releasing a shout to the skies above. His wife reaches up and gives him a quick peck on the cheek for luck as he ducks between the ropes and finishes his stretching..

Amelia Williams: His opponent , being accompanied to the ring by Te'Snilo Bradenbury, from the End of Nowhere, weighing 337 pounds...this is The Phoenix!

Bob Sinclair: One thing I'm sure that people are forgetting is the amount of punishment that Phoenix took to the head last week, courtesy of Thor Hammerskald. You know that's going to be the primary target of Century tonight.

Frankie Garnett: If Century's smart enough to realize that, anyway.

Tori Montgomery: Century's smarter than you give him credit for, Frankie. Remember that he's teaming with your buddy in three weeks.

Frankie Garnett: Guess the kid's not a total waste....

Tori Montgomery: Wait, so the superhero uses a closed fist to draw blood? What kind of hero is he, Batman?

Frankie Garnett: Anything to win, Tori! And that's seven grand for me!

Bob Sinclair: This has to be considered a minor upset, folks, as Century improves to 3-2 and remains in the Alpha Division hunt. As for Phoenix, who is now 1-4 after starting last season undefeated to this point, one has to wonder if it was a mistake in bringing his wife to the ring to be his manager.

Frankie Garnett: Anything he does is a mistake, Bob! That's the Second League Commandment!

Tori Montgomery: Frankie, when are you going to just stop making these commandments up?

Frankie Garnett: Who says I'm making them up?

Ian Carlisle (1-3, 15%) vs. Nuclear Templeton (4-0, 17%)

Tori Montgomery: There's no ay they're real.

Bob Sinclair: Save the argument for later, you two. Our next match is even more of a lopsided line than the first one.

Tori Montgomery: No kidding, Bob. Ian Carlisle comes in as a 13-1 underdog, while Templeton is only paying back eight cents to the dollar if those betting on him win. It's not often that such a one-sided opinion appears.

Frankie Garnett: It's so bad that I couldn't even put money on this match. The longshot is too long, and there's no return to be made on the favorite. Not worth it.

Bob Sinclair: With that, let's go to Amelia, who is already in the ring.

No music heralds the arrival of one of this season's rookies, as he makes his way to the ring without trying to let any emotions become visible on his face.

Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Approaching the ring, from Blackpool, England, weighing 222 pounds...Ian Carlisle!

Bob Sinclair: Carlisle's lone win this season came at the hands of the defending League Champion. Can lightning strike twice and take down another big name?

Frankie Garnett: In a word? No.

Tori Montgomery: I hate to say it, but I'm with Frankie on this one. If Carlisle pulls out the victory I will be stunned.

As he hits the end of the entrance ramp, he throws his arms into the air, sending a pair of mushroom clouds into the air from the stage as he makes his way to the ring and through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Atlantic City, New Jersey, weighing 278 pounds, he is The League's lone remaining undefeated wrestler...Nuclear Templeton!

Tori Montgomery: Man, Templeton looks focused tonight, guys.

Bob Sinclair: He always looks this focused.

Frankie Garnett: Focused? I thought he ate something that disagreed with him....

Bob Sinclair: I never thought I'd say this, but Frankie has a valid point. Templeton could get away with that, as the ref's count reaches seven. Especially after feeling the Rain of Pain and the Armageddon Lariat!

Bob Sinclair: And the longest streak record remains intact, as Carlisle just upset the heretofore unbeaten Nuclear Templeton!

Tori Montgomery: Carlisle may want to vacate the ringside area. I think Nuclear's going to go off on the kid.

Frankie Garnett: Tori, did you have to bring up that topic already?

Thor Hammerskald (2-2, 16%) vs. Diamond (2-2, 16%)

Tori Montgomery: Which topic? I don't...oh.

Bob Sinclair: Frankie, it's a figure of speech. No need to make it taboo.

Frankie Garnett: Sure, and just ruin The League's ratings in Japan, why don't you?

Bob Sinclair: ....

Thor Hammerskald
<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/e-UbViuK4fY?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> Amon Amarth's "Death in Fire" hits the speakers, to a decent ovation as the League rookie emerges from backstage, looking every bit the part of a Viking warrior as he strides to the ring with a determined look on his face...and scattering some of the fans away from the entrance ramp as he turns to glare at them.

Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Oslo, Norway, weighing 310 pounds...Thor Hammerskald!

Bob Sinclair: Hammerskald's had a better start to his sophomore season, as this time last season he was only 1-3. A win here puts him one shy of matching last season's total.

Tori Montgomery: I'm not doubting he can do it, but I'm not sure if this is his night.

Frankie Garnett: Of course it's his night. Look at the size difference! This is going to be a walk in the park!

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/PtYxDa-l-D0?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The familiar tune hits the arena to a mixed reaction as The League's lone female member emerges from backstage. There is a confident smirk on her face as she talks trash with some of the louder fans before sprinting into the ring by diving under the bottom rope. As she stands, she proceeds to the corner nearest the announce table, hands thrown in the air as the soaks in the crowd reaction while her manager stands outside, also applauding her client.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, accompanied to the ring by Jayde, from Aberdeen, Scotland, weighing 137 pounds...Diamond!

Tori Montgomery: Ever since picking up a new finisher, which I've been told has been renamed the 24 Carat Kiss, Diamond is undefeated in two weeks. It will be interesting to see if she can get the momentum needed to put Hammerskald down with that move.

Frankie Garnett: Again, look at the size difference! No way that's happening!

Bob Sinclair: The popular opinion disagrees, Frankie. Diamond was picked by more than three-quarters of the visitors to The League's website. A lot of people are putting faith in her finisher.

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of fifteen minutes and ten seconds...Thor Hammerskald!

Bob Sinclair: Hammerskald improves to 3-2 on the season, but one has to think that there's a bit of controversy behind this match.

Tori Montgomery: Controversy? Diamond was robbed, plain and simple! Hammerskald threw her into the ref, knowing what was coming, and assuring himself that he could not be counted down for the pin when the inevitable came!

Frankie Garnett: And you call me biased....

Sean (3-1, 21%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-3, 12%)

Tori Montgomery: Just zip it, Frankie.

Fog rolls in from the entrance proper as a figure emerges, walking slowly to the ring and mentally preparing for what's ahead of him. He slides in under the bottom rope and walks over to one of the nearby turnbuckles, leaning up against them as the song fades.

Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Charlotte, North Carolina, weighing 230 pounds...Sean!

Bob Sinclair: Sean shows no signs of slowing down, looking to be an early favorite to lock up his third consecutive playoff position.

Frankie Garnett: He's still my pick to win it all.

Tori Montgomery: And what would Scott Stevens say to that?

Frankie Garnett: Erm....

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SurqXyOjLxE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> The driving metal of Slayer's "Raining Blood" hit the speakers as the lone luchador in The League emerges from backstage. His mask is obscured by the smoke billowing around him, and it is a blood-red spotlight that follows him to the ring as he hops over the top rope and paces back and forth, waiting impatiently for the match to begin.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Tijuana, Mexico, weighing 142 pounds...he is El Demonio de Sangre!

Bob Sinclair: Demonio has come close to winning a few times this season, but he just can't find the missing piece of the puzzle to put his opponents away.

Tori Montgomery: He may want to take a page from Diamond's book. She got a finisher that was not based off the top rope, and look at the turnaround.

Frankie Garnett: Including getting the short end of the stick tonight.

Tori Montgomery: I can hear the smugness in your voice, Frankie. Enough.

Bob Sinclair: Once again, the rigors of the season are starting to take their toll on bodies, though thanks to the stepped-up efforts of the League's physicians the wear and tear isn't as bad as the last two seasons.

Tori Montgomery: Those guys earn their six-figure salaries, let me tell you.

Amelia Williams: Here is your winner, at a time of six and a half minutes...Sean!

Bob Sinclair: And Sean decides to not use his finisher this week; either that or Demonio landed wrong enough to have the wind driven from his body.

Tori Montgomery: I think it was the latter, Bob. Demonio still looks to be in decent shape, especially given the fact that he's kicking the ropes in frustration.

Frankie Garnett: More like he's kicking the ropes because he knows he can't kick anyone else's butt.

Maxx Skabb (2-2, 18%) vs. Sebastian Moore (0-4, 16%)

Bob Sinclair: Only you, Frankie....

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="28" height="25" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ApmKHzFLR1g?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Avenged Sevenfold's "Nightmare" blares throughout the arena as spotlights begin to pan over the audience, as if looking for someone. A dim red light shines on the entryway, revealing a hulking figure making his way to ringside. As the refrain hits, the spotlights immediately focus on him as white strobe lights flash on the entrance stage. He slides under the bottom rope, his orange jumpsuit a stark contrast to most of the clothing in the audience as the song fades into silence.

Amelia Williams: This bout is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from the Orange County Correctional Facility, weighing 289 pounds...Maxx Skabb!

Bob Sinclair: Skabb is still looking for his breakout season; after last season nothing short of a playoff run will satisfy him.

Tori Montgomery: I think that's an understatement. He was so close last season, I'm thinking that if he doesn't make it this time he's going to violate his parole.

Frankie Garnett: By doing what, Tori?

Tori Montgomery: Let's just say that you wouldn't want to be in the same room with him, Frankie. Just make sure you keep a death grip on anything you hold.

<object width="28" height="25"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/btjVnTLn6og?fs=1&hl=en_US&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0 xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="28" height="25"></embed></object> It is to Muse's "Assassin" that he emerges, an arrogant smirk crossing his face as he soaks in the jeers of the crowd. Looking up at the spotlight for a moment, his smirk seems to get even bigger as he walks down the ramp, ignoring the catcalls of the crowd as he ascends the steps, wipes his feet on the apron, and steps through the ropes.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Manchester, England, weighing 237 pounds...Sebastian Moore!

Bob Sinclair: I think it's safe to say that after last season, Moore is one of this season's biggest disappointments.

Frankie Garnett: Understatement much? I expected him to at least be 2-2 at this point!

Tori Montgomery: The sophomore jinx has struck and struck very hard, it seems. Maybe this is the week he turns it around.

After pausing to mentally prepare himself, he walks to the ring, his eyes never leaving the squared circle as he climbs onto the apron and ducks between the ropes.

Amelia Williams: This match is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Liverpool, England, weighing 251 pounds...Robbie Maynard!

Bob Sinclair: Tori, you've said from the outset that this is your pick for the season. Why did you pick him?

Tori Montgomery: I thought he was due. He put in a lot of effort in the off-season, and I thought he looked ready to make a deep run this season.

Frankie Garnett: Are you sure it didn't involve a few portraits of Ben Franklin passed around?

Tori Montgomery: Frankie, unless you want to get your butt kicked by a woman, I suggest you shut up right now.

Emerging from the entryway, he turns to salute his homeland's flag before calmly walking to the ring, ignoring the fans as he slides into the ring and bounces off the ropes a couple of times to stretch.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Torres Vedras, Portugal, weighing 231 pounds...SGRaaize!

Bob Sinclair: Raaize has yet to find that one big push to break into the upper echelon of The League; a win here would certainly help him in that regard.

Frankie Garnett: Or it will just be a fluke and he'll fade into obscurity, one of the two.

Frankie Garnett: Amelia, let's get this started so she will calm down.

Tori Montgomery: Hey!

Instead of taking the steps closest to him, he walks around to the opposite side of the ring, drawing in more jeers as he finally climbs the steps and enters the ring.

Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Des Moines, Iowa, weighing 228 pounds, he is the reigning League Champion...Johnny Triumph!

Bob Sinclair: Triumph has wasted little time, racing out to a 3-1 record and setting the pace in the Alpha Division this season.

Tori Montgomery: I can see him and Maynard in the finals this season, and it would be glorious!

Frankie Garnett: Tori, spare us your fanfiction. We came to watch a match, not listen to your fantasy booking.

Tori Montgomery: .....

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from The Dog Pound, weighing 251 pounds...Ezekial Kerghan!

Bob Sinclair: Kerghan has quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with in his rookie season.

Frankie Garnett: I wouldn't want to get on his bad side.

Pyro explodes on the stage, causing the light to shut off as the figure finally emerges onto the stage proper. Laughing at the boos hurled in his direction, he takes his time walking to the ring and subsequently entering it for his next match.

Amelia Williams: This is our main event of the evening, scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Shreveport, Louisiana, weighing 292 pounds...Tarik Nolan!

Bob Sinclair: Nolan, after an impressive 10-4 run last season, has struggled to get out of the gate this season.

The lights in the arena go pitch black, as red lasers and spotlights light up the area. The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen, "Nothing survives my sting!" Over the audio system a snippet of Dave Mustaine from the song "Scorpion" yells, "I am the Scorpion whoah!!!" This causes the crowd to start booing as a mash up of "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack and "Amazing" by Kanye West hits the speakers. Out from the back emerges "The Venomous One" wearing a replica of The League's World Championship around his waist and the man in question walks to the ring, talking trash the whole way while showing off his title belt.

Amelia Williams: His opponent, from Houston, Texas, weighing 265 pounds...He is "The League's Real World's Heavyweight Champion"... "The Scorpion" Scott Stevens!

Tori Montgomery: I guess he didn't learn his lesson last week. He's still going to try to play up the "dethroned champion" gimmick?

Bob Sinclair: Apparently so, Tori.

Frankie Garnett: It's no gimmick. Just watch. Scorpion will make a believer of you two yet!

Tori Montgomery: Pffft. Fat chance of that ever happening.

Season Three, Week Five
March 29, 2011

http://i986.photobucket.com/albums/ae344/ShadowedFlames/GDS%20League%20Stuff/BeyondRingsideBanner.jpg

After a week filled with upsets, a hint of controversy and the last of the unbeatens falling to defeat, we're back to do it all again! Hello once more, League fans!

Now, before we get into the main features of the column, there's something that I need to address. Now, normally I wouldn't do something like this because of the old axiom "any press is good press" and frankly, I don't think he deserves this. But until I do, it's just going to be the elephant in the middle of the room that no one wants to acknowledge.

I'm talking about you, Joshua Flogg. I'll give you a few seconds to pick your jaw up off the floor from the shock that I actually remember your name. I'm not going to counter any of your other rumors, falsehoods that you try to portray as truth, or even the juvenile slandering that you "produce" on a weekly basis.

Quite simply, I'm just going to take offense at the comment that was made in which you insinuated Frankie Garnett of accusing me of bribing League officials in order to win a predictions contest. That has to be one of the most asinine accusations that I have ever heard in my years covering this sport. I should not have expected any different from someone whose "vlog" has the production value of an elementary school play.

However, I'm not intending on taking the low road through this. I'll be the better person. With that said, allow me to extend you an invitation. The League's Tag Team Turmoil event is in three weeks, from Cheyenne, Wyoming. I'm willing to invite you as my guest to show you how a professional video blog is done, and if you can demonstrate any sense of decorum over the next few weeks, you may get the chance to guest host Beyond Ringside.. Ball's in your court, son. Make your move.

Now with that out of the way, let's get to the good stuff, shall we?

COUNTDOWN TO TAG TEAM TURMOIL
We're three weeks away from one of the most anticipated events of the season. For those of you who were following The League's website, you know that the official brackets were released immediately following the show Monday night. For those of you who were not aware, we have a full field of eight teams. The full bracket appears below, and keep in mind that for some of you, you may have to scroll the window in order to see the full bracket:

I'm fully expecting to hear a lot of trash talk backstage over the next three weeks, as this event seems to bring out a lot of that among all of the League members. I think it may be the novelty of the tag team set-up.

BY THE NUMBERS
Our statisticians were on vacation this past week, so there will be no By the Numbers in this edition.

PREDICTION CENTRAL

With the upsets this week, five was the top score in terms of picks, with Messrs. Ranson and Comradebot joining me atop that particular leaderboard.

In the "official" standings, Mr. masterded is able to leap into second place with a near-18-point performance. Mr. Jman2k3 continues to lead the way, however.

Maximum points available last week: 33.37 (114.57 for the season)

1. Jman2k3: 57.88 points (12.35 last week), 26 total picks correct.
2. masterded: 54.79 points (17.98 last week), 25 total picks correct.
3. moon_lit_tears: 46.24 points (6.28 last week), 26 total picks correct.
4. Ranson: 44.81 points (14.51 last week), 25 total picks correct.
5. Tori Montgomery: 37.41 points (9.53 last week), 20 total picks correct.
6. Prophet: 37.22 points (8.01 last week), 23 total picks correct.
7. Comradebot: 35.31 points (12.56 last week), 19 total picks correct.
8. Dangrel: 34.80 points (0.00 last week), 17 total picks correct.
9. Wrestling Century: 33.00 points (0.00 last week), 15 total picks correct.
10. MichiganHero: 32.53 points (4.98 last week), 21 total picks correct.
11. Derek B: 31.14 points (3.68 last week), 20 total picks correct.
12. SGRaaize: 28.88 points (3.68 last week), 19 total picks correct.
13. I Effin Rule: 27.96 points (1.08 last week), 17 total picks correct.
14. GruntMark: 27.25 points (2.38 last week), 18 total picks correct.
15. Ian Carlisle: 21.05 points (0.00 last week), 14 total picks correct.
16. SeanMcG: 20.33 points (6.93 last week), 13 total picks correct.
17. Jaded: 13.67 points (0.00 last week), 7 total picks correct.

We're in Montreal this week for the second of four all-divisional cards. With the number of ties in the divisional standings, this could go a good way towards breaking them...or making them more cluttered, depending on results.

WEEK SIX: MONTREAL, QUEBEC (Canada—Quebec)
(Regular style match, blood stoppages enforced, ref bumps allowed)

ALPHA DIVISION CAGE MATCH: Johnny Triumph (4-1, 14%) vs. Thor Hammerskald (3-2, 9%)
(Career Series: Johnny Triumph, 1 - 0)
Interesting tidbit here. Triumph is 1-0 in League cage matches, while Hammerskald, who has one fewer season of League experience, is 1-2 and going into his League-high fourth cage match. One may be excused for thinking that being well-versed in cage matches would be an advantage. However, I'm erring on the side of history with this one.
Tori's Pick: Johnny Triumph

DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-5, 13%) vs. SGRaaize (1-4, 11%)
(Career Series: Sebastian Moore, 1 - 0)
I'm not putting much hope into this match, folks. Going with Raaize since he at least has a divisional win this season.
Tori's Pick: SGRaaize

GAMMA DIVISION: Maxx Skabb (3-2, 13%) vs. Ian Carlisle (2-3, 15%)
(Career Series: Maxx Skabb, 1 - 0)
Skabb won their earlier meeting this season, but Carlisle is coming off his second major upset of the season. Can he make it three? There's a chance, but I think Maxx has this well in hand.
Tori's Pick: Maxx Skabb

DELTA DIVISION: Nuclear Templeton (4-1, 18%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-4, 12%)
(Career Series: El Demonio de Sangre, 1 - 0)
No, folks, that's not a typo. I'm not betting on history to repeat itself here. Templeton goes back to his winning ways.
Tori's Pick: Nuclear Templeton

BETA DIVISION: Scott Stevens (3-2, 15%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-2, 16%)
(Career Series: First Meeting)
I'll be honest, folks, this would be a coin flip for me if not for the damage that Tarik Nolan caused Stevens' torso last week. That may be the edge in this one.
Tori's Pick: Ezekial Kerghan

BETA DIVISION: The Phoenix (1-4, 14%) vs. Diamond (2-3, 17%)
(Career Series: Tied, 1 - 1)
If Phoenix loses here, his season is practically done. I'm calling it now. And with the way Diamond's been the last few weeks, I'm not going to bet against her.
Tori's Pick: Diamond

GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (4-1, 17%) vs. Robbie Maynard (4-1, 16%)
(Career Series: Sean, 2 - 0)*
Including the playoffs, Sean is 3-0 against Maynard. This should be the Match of the Night. And I'm hard-pressed to pick against Maynard, but I've got to go with the fact that Maynard has yet to beat Sean.
Tori's Pick: Sean

ALPHA DIVISION: Tarik Nolan (2-3, 22%) vs. Super Century (3-2, 13%)
(Career Series: Super Century, 1 - 0)
Century may have the series edge, but Nolan's got too much to lose to simply get beaten. I'm going with Nolan, but this should be a close match.
Tori's Pick: Tarik Nolan

What will the fallout from this leg of the North American tour be? We'll find out next week! Until then, this is Tori Montgomery...so long from ringside!

ALPHA DIVISION CAGE MATCH: Johnny Triumph (4-1, 14%) vs. Thor Hammerskald (3-2, 9%)
DELTA DIVISION: Sebastian Moore (0-5, 13%) vs. SGRaaize (1-4, 11%)
GAMMA DIVISION: Maxx Skabb (3-2, 13%) vs. Ian Carlisle (2-3, 15%)
DELTA DIVISION: Nuclear Templeton (4-1, 18%) vs. El Demonio de Sangre (1-4, 12%)
BETA DIVISION: Scott Stevens (3-2, 15%) vs. Ezekial Kerghan (3-2, 16%)
BETA DIVISION: The Phoenix (1-4, 14%) vs. Diamond (2-3, 17%)
GAMMA DIVISION: Sean (4-1, 17%) vs. Robbie Maynard (4-1, 16%)
ALPHA DIVISION: Tarik Nolan (2-3, 22%) vs. Super Century (3-2, 13%)

http://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p15/fyreclaw/Renders/FloggSplash.jpg

[The official graphic of the Flogg Splash is displayed, before we are brought into a setting unfitting of the content of this video blog. Surrounded by suits and tuxedos, we spy our host standing on a small pedestal, as a tiny Italian man measures his inseam. As the gentleman brings the tape measure up Flogg's thigh, our young host begins to giggle, and twists his knees together, like he needs to use the restroom. Finally, cursing in the language of the old country, the older gentleman storms off, leaving Flogg standing there in a white button down dress shirt, and a pair of The League officially licensed boxer shorts. After hearing Twitchy's warning, Flogg turns back towards the camera, his floppy hair hanging over his eyes, and that innocent, yet still creepy smile across his lips.]

Flogg: Hello Floggers and Bloggers, and welcome, once again, to the hottest show to ever be broadcast across the interwebs! As always, I am I am your wrestling guide, world wide and wide eyed, inside and outside, hang glide or rip tide, the one with the sweet backside that Tori Montgomery wants to take out for a “joyride” … Joshua Flogg! And we have got a stellar show for you tonight. So much to get to, so let's begin with …

[A new graphic for the first segment of the show starts to roll, showing a space capsule descending to Earth, before hitting the rolling blue waves of the ocean. As the scenes from such films as Apollo 13 and Armageddon loop, “The Final Countdown” plays, except the chorus is badly dubbed over, with Flogg's voice filling in for the vacant word count, with the word splash. When the graphic ends, we return to the dress shop, where Flogg has finally found a pair of pants.]

Flogg: That's right, it's Splash Down! A lot of League news and speculation have come down the pipe in the past week, including news that the League has signed two new wrestlers for season 4. Not much is known about these newcomers to the League, who are set to debut after the greatest champion in the history of ever … EVER … retains his title, however, one League source has told me that one is a fresh faced rookie from Florida named Tofu Mask III. He is the third incarnation of the squishy white mask, due to the fact that the first two to don the attire passed out from the smell, ending their wrestling careers. It's going to be an uphill battle for this kid. On the upside, he probably doesn't have to worry about Squeamix eating him mid-match.

The other wrestler, Jack Lightning, is a young high flier who has spent time in Japan, Canada, and the US. And the only reason I know that is because someone saw his passport. Some kid in Japan once called Lightning's style as Flash as Flash can, instead of the traditional European style of catch as catch can, but if you're wrestling in front of five people, where three of them are there for the free food, how can you be called exciting? My prediction … three weeks into his League career, Lightning will be renamed the Ratings Killer, before being traded to NYCW for a 1977 Dodge Dart. Although Stomper does, reportedly, love that car more than he loves money.

League scouts are still scouring the world for other potential members of the League roster, hoping for a bit more diversity. According to one man in the League's office, the network has sent word down that the roster looks less like a wrestling company, and more like the cast of the Jersey Shore. The network is displeased by the split direction, and has demanded that either the company bring in other nationalities, such as Native Americans, and Martians, or that Diamond style her hair in a giant poof, and Ezekial Kerghan start coming to the ring while fist bumping the crowd. With enough of the roster being raging alcoholics and party animals, it might simply be cheaper to relocate to Atlantic City.

Our final piece of news comes from the League's “official” source of information, Beyond Ringside's own Tori Montgomery. A lot of Floggers have written emails, asking if I saw what she had to say to me. I even got a tweet from “The Venomous One” which was nothing but laughter. Pretty sure he's jealous of his wife's infatuation with the mean green sex machine. [winks.]

First of all, allow me to thank you, Miss Montgomery, as your mentioning of the Flogg Splash, albeit indirectly, as led to a near 400% increase of traffic to my “elementary school” production. And while I don't entirely agree with your methods, let me say that I'm flattered, although it's not to be unexpected. Much like elementary school, you've become the little girl in pigtails pulling my hair behind the swing set, because you have a crush on me. It's sweet. So to answer your question, yes, in three weeks, it would be my honor to accompany you to the Tag Team Turmoil event. Maybe not the most romantic of first dates, but fitting we should be together somewhere that first brought us together. I stand by my report, though, and do hope that doesn't come between us. I also should apologize to Lisa Stevens, as this may hamper our plans to be together, but who knows? Maybe they're both open minded women.

[Flogg's lecherous smile becomes uncontrolled, as the delusional vlogger contemplates the possibility. After taking a moment to compose himself, Flogg turns back towards a showcase of bow ties, his last comments making it abundantly clear why he's in this tuxedo store. As he pulls a blue marble tie off a Styrofoam head, and loops it around his neck, still flashing that “kid in a candy store” smile.]

Flogg: With that taken care of, and my vow to give a testimony of our first date on this very website, it's time for our Flogg-sclusive. This week, our cameras caught up with Nuclear Templeton, working out at a gym in New Jersey. Take a look!

[The new Flogg-sclusive graphic blurs across the screen, with a deep autotuned voice reading the very same words. As quickly as it appears, the graphic is gone, and we join Flogg and Twitchy walking the streets of Jersey. As Twitchy holds the camera on our host, Flogg walks the sidewalk, holding his nose between two fingers, with a look of revulsion on his face. In the distance, the Palisades mall in West Nyack can be seen. Flogg quickly lets go of his nose, as he spots something, or someone, down the street. Running as fast as his pudgy little legs can carry him, Flogg huffs down the sidewalk, to a cellular store, right next door to a large gym. Outside the cell phone vendor, a small man wearing green make up, a tattered white t-shirt and purple pants, and holding a sign that reads “Hulk Smash Prices in Half” is seen pacing back and forth in front of the store. He looks startled as Flogg bounds up to him, actually dwarfing the supposed superhero.]

Flogg: Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Ionic Icon, the Carbon Champion, the Fusion Freak himself … Nuclear Templeton!

[The man with the sign looks puzzled, before turning away from Flogg, trying to ignore the intrusion, and continuing to do his job. Undaunted, Flogg presses on with the interview of his “career.”]

Flogg: Now, Mr. Templeton, many have speculated that your hot start came from an injection of uranium 235 into your blood stream, giving you super strength. Was one of the side effects your green skin?

Hulk: Dude, go away … I'm trying to work here.

Flogg: Sure, I understand. Just one more question … did my breaking story get you caught? Is that why you lost last week?

Hulk: What are you talking about?

Flogg: Last week, when you lost to Ian Carlisle. Was it because I broke the news that you were using a banned substance to make yourself super human?

Hulk: If you don't get out of here, I'm gonna call the cops!

[Flogg still looks determined, as the flustered comic character continues promoting the half priced cell phone plans, while just over his shoulder, a familiar face can be seen. Nuclear Templeton steps out into the sun from the darkness of the gym, having overheard most of Flogg's comments. Just like during his matches, Templeton's face has contorted to one of rage, and he reaches back inside the gym, before reemerging with a thirty five pound plate. As Flogg continues to hassle the poor kid trying to earn a paycheck, Templeton screams, a brief warning that our beloved blogger is about to feel the fallout of his stupidity.]

Twitchy: Josh … run!

[Templeton winds the heavy weight up like a discus, and with amazing grace and accuracy, hurls the projectile down the sidewalk, before Twitchy turns and runs, leaving Flogg, the hulk, and his aggressor in his dust. Twitchy can be heard huffing and puffing, as a profanity laced tirade echoes down the street, before the picture fuzzes out. We rejoin Flogg in the suit shop, now wearing a black and red polka dotted bowtie, and looking at himself in the mirror.]

Flogg: There you have it, folks. Proof that Nuclear Templeton is on the downturn, after my breaking report. That's a lesson for you all … cheaters never prosper. And now it's time for …

[Before Flogg can set us up for his weekly picks, the elderly gentleman returns from the back of the store. His face a mask of disgust, he points a brittle finger towards the front door.]

Elderly man: Fuori dalla mia bottega, ti fastidio idiota!

[Flogg looks at him puzzled, before smiling and nodding.]

Flogg: Of course you can shine my shoes, good sir.

[The elderly man sighs, before waggling his finger towards the door once more.]

Elderly man: Ho detto di uscire, o ti tiro fuori io stesso, figlio di una capra senza madre!

[Flogg again nods and smiles.]

Flogg: Spaghetti too? My you're generous.

[Having had his fill, the elderly gentleman decides to take matters into his own hands. With amazingly fast reflexes, he grabs Flogg by the back of his shirt, and left arm. After hooking it behind his back in a chicken wing type of maneuver, the old man marches Flogg to the front door, as our friendly neighborhood “reporter” cries in pain. As the front door is opened, and Flogg is heaved to the sidewalk, he can clearly be heard shouting “I'll see you soon, Tori my love!” The old man turns towards Twitchy, who, in true Twitchy fashion, quickly follows Flogg out of the store, assuredly running past our host, as he shuts down the camera, ending this edition of the Flogg Splash.]

OOC Note: This RP contains harsh language and deep subject matter. If you are offended by this don't read it. This work is based on fiction and fiction only.

Scott and Lisa Stevens
Location: The Commons, Huffman, Tx: Stevens mansion
April 1, 2011, 6:00 p.m. local time

(The screen fades into the Stevens' mansion and we hear the sounds of doors be open and slammed. As we go deeper into the house we see the familiar curvy figure of "The Fiery One" Lisa Stevens opening up various doors in the house looking for something.)

Lisa: Got to be here somewhere.

(Lisa stops and thinks for a moment then begins to walk out of the house and through the garage. She makes her way to the end of the garage and slides open a door that look like a secret passage. She steps through the "hidden door" and makes her way down the hall and opens up the door at the end to what appears to be a home theatre room. She scans the sea of seats in the darken room and stops, apparently she has found what she is looking for.)

Lisa: There you are.

(Lisa makes her way down the aisles to the very front of the row.)

Lisa: You know I've been looking everywhere for you!!!! Why didn't you answer your phone?!?!?

(The camera pans down and we see "The Venomous One" in a pair of sweat pants and an old, tattered shirt, clutching his replica of The League's Heavyweight Championship Title, with Dr. Pepper cans, chip bags, and candy wrappers everywhere while he watches a dvd of his past successes.)

<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AZ5k6TpHCLM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Lisa: Are you going to answer me?

(Silence.)

Lisa: Really Scott? This is how it's going to be?

(Silence.)

Lisa: Fine so be it loser.

(Scorpion looks at her.)

Lisa: That's right, I said loser. L-O-S-E-R.....loser. You know why you are such a loser Scott? I'll tell you why, it's because you've become a ***** and can't get the job done anymore in the ring apparently. You lost to that paper champion, Johnny Triumph and then, and this is the beautiful one, you not only lose to that piece of trash Tarik but you get decimated in the process. While your doing what you do best and that is losing of course, your enemies are winning. That tramp Diamond debuted a new finishing move dubbed "The Diamond Cutter" and all of a sudden she is apparently "The Queen of Badda Bing." What's next? Diamond will reveal her name to be Paige and claim to hail from Dallas???? This week, you face that sociopath Ezekiel for the division title lead, and you will most likely lose again this week not because you got beat up so badly by a dark match specialist last week but you simply suck. That's the loser's code of life. Also you voluntarily accepted to be that whack job, Super Century's tag partner. What where you thinking? He's a loser just like you and I don't like associate myself with losers.

(Scorpion turns his head to ignore her.)

Lisa: Does the truth hurt baby??? Good!!!!! Instead of you taking me out and treating me like the queen I am, you're here stuffing your face like a pig and moping around. You promised me whatever I wanted whenever I wanted it, and right now I was hoping for that $50,000 dollar necklace, ring, and bracelet set from Tiffany's, but since you have been losing the royalty checks have been rather low which is unacceptable.

(Silence.)

Lisa: You want to wattle in self pity that's fine, but I'm getting sick of this bull**** every time you get hurt or lose. When we first got together you weren't so pathetic as you are now, that's why I was sneaking around with you behind my father's back. You didn't care what would happen if we got caught, but now you're getting old and worthless. I remember the man I married wasn't such a loser then. He was a winner. He challenged my whole family to win my heart, and he took vicious beating after beating to do it. Now look at him, he gets concussed and gets his back broken and he barely goes 8-8 in his debut in this company. Back when you weren't such a shell of yourself you would have just taken two cortisone shots and twenty painkillers and would be good to go but you wanted to get yourself clean. You wanted to try MMA and because of the drug tests you couldn't pop the pills like candy anymore. So what happened when you went into MMA you got more ****ed up than you did when you were wrestling. You had your arm and wrist broken, had to have microfracture reconstructive surgery on your knee again, all for what? To win a heavyweight title here and there? You should have stayed retired when you left the industry years ago and just made money off of your name instead of training that worthless younger brother of yours and trying to see if you could become a crossover star. You should have stay on the steroids Scott because when you were on them you were unstoppable and now you can barely get by. Becoming clean you have lost your edge and you've become a joke of the wrestling world just like you were heading when you retired. You have an ego and that's what I love about you but when that ego doesn't satisfy my wants and needs we have problems. Do you hear me?

(Scorpion continues to ignore his wife.)

Lisa: I said answer me!!!!!!!!!!!! Oops, my bad, I forgot your cauliflower ears make hearing hard for you. Exactly what the hell are you watching anyways?

(Lisa goes over and snatches the dvd case from her husband's lap and reads it.)

Lisa: Oh, you're watching your best matches from that one Japanese wrestling company. I always like them since we milked them of a ton of money. Am I right?

(Scorpion again ignores her and this infuriates Lisa as she those the dvd case against the wall.)

Lisa: Lets go see what else his in the dvd collection.

(Lisa goes to the wall where it's filled with rows and rows of Scorpion and Lisa matches on dvds.)

Lisa: Your very first title win, how lovely.

(Lisa throws it against the wall.)

Lisa: The Best of the Stevens family. My favorite.

(Lisa throws it against the wall.)

Lisa: Still not saying anything? Ok.

(Lisa dumps tons of dvds on the floor and begins to stop on them.)

Lisa: Since you're in a pissy mood and until you are over it, I'm going to go stay with my family in Canada. Before I go I have something to tell you.

(Lisa goes over to Scott and slaps him across the face. Scorpion turns with a pissed off look.)

Lisa: Make you mad? Good.

(Lisa slaps him two more times across the face and Scorpion jumps up, she goes for a fourth but Scorpion catches her hand.)

Lisa: What? Going to hit me are you? Wouldn't be the first time would it?

(Scorpion lets her hand go and sits back down.)

Lisa: Just what I thought, a *****. Well, I'm leaving and don't expect me to be back anytime soon until you stop being a bitch and grow a sach. Maybe I should give Joshua Flogg a call. I wonder what he likes to do for fun?

(Lisa exits the theatre room and the camera zooms in on Scorpion's face.)

Scorpion: Bitch.

(Fade 2 black.)

That's the third picture of food that I can recall you posting in here, C-bot. Are you hinting at a gimmick? :p *laughs*

EDIT: Speaking of food, there's a chance the show doesn't get posted tonight thanks to a stomach bug that's been hounding me all day. Trying to write through it but I'm catching myself nodding off at the keyboard. Just a word of warning.
