[DreamVerse] Imperia Wrestling Franchise -- Wrestling At Its Finest

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

Prologue



Hello, my name is Kate Avatar, and this is my story. Imperia Wrestling Franchise, created in 1992 by Doug Dunvegan after he became disillusioned with the running of the National Wrestling Alliance, has been growing for ten wonderful years. In 1999, Dunvegan hired an unproven but creative young man by the name of Brandon Harwell as the head booker of the promotion, and the results were amazing. IWF soon went national, and they were able to compete as one of the greatest promotions in the world. All along, though, Dunvegan was preparing for an even bigger shakeup by preparing another unproven but creative person to take over when the time was right. That person was me.

Why would Dunvegan change what had worked up until that point? Well, he was my mentor, and he had more trust in me than he did in Harwell. Still, even I knew that he was a talented head booker, so it was confusing and hard to understand why a change would be made. Nonetheless, I was more than ready to take on the challenge. Being the new head booker, however, would be the easy part. Keeping the roster together in light of the change would be the tough part.

A Night To Remember 2001: "Dark Legacy" was the biggest event of the year, and for the first time, not only was IWF franchise Jimmy Dragon not carrying the main event, but Harwell had booked himself to win the IWF World Heavyweight Title from Joey T. It was during this event that I was called into a meeting with Dunvegan.

"Ah, glad you could make it," he greeted me, his Scottish accent thick. "Have a seat, Kate."

"You wanted to see me, sir?"

"Please, I keep telling you to just call me Doug," he told me.

"It just feels strange, Mr. Dunvegan," I said sheepishly. "You've taught me everything I know about this business, and you're a legend. You're in the Hall of Immortals. Addressing you by your first name just seems strange."

He laughed a hearty laugh at that.

"So be it, but I still think you should just call me Doug."

"If it's all the same to you, Mr. Dunvegan . . ."

"Very well, no matter, we have business to discuss," he stated, folding his hands on his desk. "As you already know, you are taking over as head booker of Imperia Wrestling Franchise tomorrow. The problem, of course, is that the locker room is in for a shock when that happens. In particular, Brandon is going to be very upset. After all, he is the reason the promotion has had such success.

"Everyone, including others in the industry, will be questioning my decision to put you in charge, just as they did when I put him in charge. The thing is, I feel that the promotion needs a bit of balance and stability that it currently lacks. For all the good he has brought to this company, some of his decisions have been questionable, and it hasn't been a smooth ride."

"So the question is, what are we going to do to make this transition as smooth as possible?" I asked curiously.

"I plan to tell Brandon of my decision at the end of the night, and I know he's going to throw a fit about it. I know it is coming and I understand his reasoning perfectly, so I will not hold that against him. He is still a valuable member of the roster. We do still need him.

"That said, I am leaving all of creative up to you, Kate. I trust you to keep the legacy of this company alive and well. What I am saying is that all, and I do mean all, of the decisions will be up to you. I will only remove your authority if your performance hurts IWF. I will have no special goals for you, nothing of that nature. The biggest problem will be soothing the beast, as I'm also leaving Brandon in your hands."

"What can I do about him?" I inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"You know what kind of man he is. All the rumors are true. It may not be pleasant, but do whatever you feel is necessary to keep this ship sailing smoothly."

"I . . . understand . . ." I responded, knowing full well what I would probably have to do.

"Now go and prepare yourself, you have a lot of work to do."

I nodded, stood up, and took my leave. I was prepared for anything and everything. At least I thought I was. I would have to do something about the situation with Harwell when the time came, and I was already plotting my eventual strategy.

Needless to say, the event was a huge success. I was not around for the aftermath of Dunvegan's meeting with Harwell, but I could imagine how poorly it went. I only hoped that I could fix things. I got to the IWF Arena early, wanting to get to know the members of the roster. Most of them were pleasant, though there were some with attitudes. In particular, I took note of Joey T, John Sebastian, Felicia Duarte, and Alex Dunvegan (The Keldon Warlord).

Eventually, it was time to face the beast. Harwell was somber as he arrived at the arena. I could sense that he was beyond angry, and he if looks could kill, I would have dropped dead on the spot. I bit my lower lip as I considered how exactly to approach the matter.

"Mr. Harwell, could I speak with you in private?"



http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/BrandonHarwell.jpg



Without a word, he followed me into my office. It used to be his office, of course, and I knew that it stung for me to be inviting him in instead of the other way around. I sat down at what was now my desk and gestured him to take a seat. He ignored me and leaned against the wall, glaring at me.

"Brandon . . . May I call you Brandon?" I asked.

"Whatever."

"Look, I don't want there to be any animosity between us. This was all Mr. Dunvegan's planning, and I think we can agree that he has made nothing but good business decisions in the past. What we need to do is work together.

"That said, Mr. Dunvegan gave me full reign to do as I see fit, and my first order of business is to convince you to work with me as part of my booking team. You and me, Brandon. We can get this done together. I will listen to your ideas, and you will listen to mine. Together, we'll take this company to even greater heights."

"Are you serious?" he questioned, shocked, his eyes wide.

"Yes."

He took a deep breath, let it out harshly, and studied my face for a moment. I pleaded with him with my eyes. I knew how valuable he was. I knew how good a head booker he had been. I truly did want him on my team, on the booking team and as a wrestler.

"Why should I agree to this after I was so suddenly replaced by you?" he asked me.

I knew it was coming, and I had to make a decision. I stood up, straightened out, and walked around the desk. I took his hand and had him stand up, face to face with me. I smiled at him seductively. You see, I had heard the rumors. It was one of the reasons Dunvegan needed someone fresh as the head booker. Harwell had caused a bit of trouble because he was a womanizer. I had to use that to my advantage.

He was an attractive man, and I thought maybe I could somehow tame him. I was unsure as to how far to go, though.

"Brandon, I've admired your work for a long time," I began, lowering my tone of voice and giving him a seductive smirk. "I've admired you for a long time. I know you've had your share of girlfriends around here, but I think you and I could make a great team. Both in the business . . . and out of the business . . . if you get what I'm hinting at."

I winked at him, and his face lit up. I had gotten to him! I felt somewhat dirty having to resort to giving myself out to appease him, but I did not think it would be all that bad. Other than his ego and his womanizing, he was a decent guy. At least I thought he was.

What can I say? I was young and dumb. To think I would be the one to change him was a mistake I would pay for. At the time, however, it was the best course of action to keep everything running smoothly.

"Well, when you put it that way, perhaps you have a point," he said, touching my face lightly as he gave me a slight smile. "Okay then, let's get to work, and then we can go out for drinks after the show."

"Sounds good to me."

That was how I came to date Harwell. That was the beginning of a very tumultuous period of my life. I should have known he would not change, but I needed the cogs to be nicely greased up. That was how it all started. It was time to get to work making IWF the top promotion in the world!

Anubis comes down to the ring to boos from the crowd. Once in the ring, he talks about how this is the beginning of a true reign of darkness, and The Dark Warlords have finally taken over Imperia Wrestling Franchise. He declares that there is no one to stop him. Suddenly, Jimmy Dragon's music plays . . .

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/JimmyDragon.jpg

Jimmy Dragon heads down to the ring and confronts Anubis, saying that he never defeated him for the IWF World Heavyweight Title. Anubis mentions that they have fought before and traded wins, but Dragon insists that there is still unfinished business, as Dragon will not allow Anubis to simply have his way. Anubis dares Dragon to stop him, and they get into an altercation. The backstage staff and security have to pull them apart, and George Foreman gets a note that the two will meet in tonight's main event!

IWF Television Title Bout
Climbatize vs. "The Warlord of Illusion" Dais

In the opening match of the night, Climbatize looks to take back one of the championships from The Dark Warlords. Dais does well at fighting off his opponent at first, but Climbatize begins to overpower him. Eventually, Dais comes back with some more offense, but isn't quite able to finish the job. He uses the ropes for leverage in order to get the pin and retain the IWF Television Title.

Jerry Dunvegan makes his way down to the ring to massive boos from the crowd. He talks about how unhappy he is being in midcard hell when he should be the focus of the entire promotion. He does congratulate Anubis for being good enough to take out a weakling like Joey T, but warns that the Emperor will be coming for his belt in the near future. Until then, he figures he will put a commoner like The Crusader in his place with ease.

Non-Title Match
"The Crown Jewel" Bad Ass Brad Jones vs. Big Kahuna

Despite this not being a hardcore match, these two went at it with everything they had. The match went to the outside several times, and Kahuna took the fight to BABJ by whipping him into the guardrail, the ring steps, and the ring post. David Young finally warned them both and got them to get back into the ring. BABJ wrestled Kahuna down to the mat, but was unable to keep him down. Just when it looked like Kahuna would be able to wrap things up, Steve Liermann ran in and assaulted Kahuna with a chair. This led to an immediate disqualification, but either Liermann nor BABJ seemed to care.

Before too much damage is done, Climbatize runs down to the ring with a baseball bat and chases off Liermann and BABJ, fending off his former XHCW comrades.

As Steve Liermann and Bad Ass Brad Jones head up the ramp, Big Kahuna and Climbatize challenge them to a match next week on IWF Monday Night Fights.

Rating: C+

Steve Liermann and Bad Ass Brad Jones laugh at first, but upon realizing that the challenge is real, they take it a little more seriously. Grabbing for a mic, Liermann and BABJ say that they gladly accept the challenge, except it will be fought as a Hardcore Match, the way it should be. Big Kahuna and Climbatize seem to be in agreement, so the match is set.

Sarah Dunvegan and Felicia Duarte are backstage, preparing for their shot at the IWF Tag Team Titles tonight. As they stretch and prepare, Joey T and BakerMan arrive on the scene. T seems livid that the girls are getting a shot before Split Seconds, seeing as T is a former IWF World Heavyweight Champion. Sarah notes that he lost said championship just one night before, so they do not deserve anything. Just when it looks like things are heating up, the road agents are able to calm the situation down and separate them.

The Crusader vs. "Emperor" Jerry Dunvegan

Jerry Dunvegan is arrogant as always going into this match, and The Crusader makes him pay for it. The match goes to the mat, and Jerry is at a severe disadvantage there. Crusader wrestles him down and tries to wear him out, but Jerry fights back valiantly. Jerry eventually gets the upper-hand and hits the Enforcer off the ropes to get the pinfall victory.

IWF Tag Team Title Bout
Girl Power vs. Corruption and Venom

This match had some excellent work in it as Sarah Dunvegan and Felicia Duarte used their individual talents to either take Cale and Sekhmet to the mat or keep the match aerial. As long as they did not opening try to brawl with their opponents they did fine. Sekhmet was able to turn the match around after a hot tag, but Sarah and Felicia would not be denied. Eventually, a sick bump occured when Sarah superplexed Sekhmet to the outside. Sekhmet oversold the injury, getting the referee's attention. This allowed Cale to bring a chair into the ring and lay out Felicia. Sekhmet recovered and took out Sarah, and Cale was able to get the pin to retain.

Non-Title Match
Jimmy Dragon vs. "The Master of Cruelty" Anubis

This match went straight to the mat as Anubis tries to use his mixed martial arts to get an early advantage. Dragon was ready, though, and tackled Anubis, getting pulled into his guard. Dragon fought to side control and raised punches down on Anubis. Anubis eventually kicked him off and tossed him into the corner. Anubis unleashed a flurry of kicks, but it was not enough to stop Dragon, who came back with a kick of his own that sent him to the mat. Dragon was on top of him again, but Anubis turned it around and got Dragon's back. Anubis tried to apply a rear naked choke, but Dragon was able to block it. Anubis and Dragon brawled a bit at that point, with Anubis getting the upper-hand. Dragon saw an opening to counter, though, and took it. Dragon his the Dragon Fly, then got ready for the Dragon Driver. Anubis countered with a backdrop and then hit the Cutting Edge. Amazingly, Dragon was able to kick out, the crowd solidly behind him. The match went right back to the ground, but this time Dragon caught the back of Anubis. Dragon immediately locked him in the Final Countdown, forcing him to tap out.

Anubis is furious at the loss, and as Dragon celebrates his victory, Anubis shouts that it changes nothing and attacks with his kusari-gama, cutting Dragon open. A brutal fight ensues, and eventually Jerry Dunvegan, John Sebastian, Scott Ericson, Dawson Polaris, The Crusader, and Edgar Dunvegan coming out to settle things down. Unfortunately, with the opposing sides present, it descends into a chaotic brawl. The backstage staff, security, and road agents all have to intervene to settle the situation as the show goes off the air.

Also, a suggestion, if I may. I see the news section above your card, and while some of the events outside of IWF may not be of interest to you, could you at least go into a little detail about the incidents? For those people who haven't played this mod yet, you could take those incidents and turn them into a major part of the story, and thus entice more people to give the mod a try. (If anything, put them from Kate's P.O.V., and have her talk about how she may/may not like the people involved and so forth.)

Course, that's just my two cents.

Girl Power vs. Split Seconds vs. Corruption and Venom

Cale and Sarah Dunvegan started off this match. As was the case previously, Cale proved to be a bit too much for Sarah to handle at first. He overpowered her and beat her down to the mat, but she would not be denied. Sarah managed to trip him up and get him on the mat. She went for the Twister, but got tossed off. He tagged in BakerMan, and so the two went at it. This time it was Sarah with a size advantage, and though BakerMan tried to keep in the air, she quickly took him to the mat and grounded him. Sarah and Felicia Duarte double-teamed BakerMan for a time with quick tags. BakerMan was in trouble, but he finally took the girls down with a springboard double clothesline. He tagged in Joey T, who quickly entered and cleaned house. Cale and Sekhmet tried to get in on the action, but T was on fire and hammering everyone. T hit the TNT on Sekhmet, but he wasn't the legal man. Eventually, T tagged BakerMan back in, and this proved to be a fatal miscalculation. Felicia came to live and had an aerial battle with BakerMan, and she came out on top. After the Como Usted Quiera, she got the pin as Sarah and Cale cut off T. Split Seconds were eliminated.

Cale and Felicia were left in the ring. Felicia tried to continue using her momentum to her advantage, but Cale clobbered her and then pulled her to his team's corner. Cale and Sekhmet took turns beating on Felicia, but she would not be kept down. Even after being busted open by an uppercut by Cale, Felicia kept fighting on. Sekhmet and Felicia were in the ring, and Felicia was finally able to get some offense going. Sekhmet tried to wrestle Felicia down, but she took him out with a flying spinning leg lariat. Felicia tagged in Sarah, who quickly wrestled Sekhmet into a clinch. Backed up against the ropes, Sarah whipped him around and tripped him up. Cale, however, entered the ring and took Sarah out before knocking Felicia off the ring apron. Cale then distracted the referee as Sekhmet smashed Sarah in the face with a chair. Cale left the ring, and Sekhmet got the pin to retain the IWF Tag Team Titles.

This match started out clean enough. Edgar Dunvegan was able to take the aerial offense of Dais and turn it around on him. Edgar took Dais to the mat after cutting him off in the air, then wrestled him. He tried to make Dais submit several times, but he kept getting to the ropes. Dais came back and hit a springboard DDT on Edgar to turn the match around. Dais hit several high spots, but was unable to put Edgar away. Edgar drew on the cheers of the crowd to get hyped up, and he fought back with a frenzy. Edgar tried to go for the Air Anchor, but Dais countered with a backslide, almost getting the pin. The two brawled a bit at that point, but Edgar wrestled Dais back to the mat. Dais kept getting to the ropes, then used them to choke Edgar. He tossed him to the corner, and accidentally nailed the referee. Dais grabbed the IWF Television Title belt and nailed Edgar with it, then roused the referee. Dais went for the pin, but Edgar somehow kicked out. The referee was still recovering as Cale and Sekhmet made their way to the ring. Cale distracted the referee as Sekhmet and Dais took out Edgar. As they left the ring, Dais was able to get the pin and retain the IWF Television Title.

BABJ grabbed a chair and went to town on him. Climbatize was down for a time, but he beat the ten-count. BABJ wrestled Climbatize down at that point and tried to wear him down with submissions. Climbatize wouldn't budge, and came back with a heavy offense by slamming BABJ's face into the ring steps, busting him open. Not to be denied, BABJ fought back hard and hit an inverted powerbomb on the ramp, busting Climbatize open. They fought in the aisle for a time and up the ramp toward the stage. Climbatize tossed BABJ into the stage post below the Imperia-tron, then tried to hit the Cliffhanger off the stage. BABJ counted with an inverted DDT. Climbatize still got up and had some fight left in him. They brawled on the stage, and eventually both fell over the side when BABJ misjudged his position with a Russian legsweep. The two both managed to get up, and they fought back toward the ramp and onto the stage once more. Climbatize was trying to get BABJ back toward the ring, but BABJ had other ideas. BABJ took Climbatize's leg out from under him and put him in a heel hook. After doing enough damage, he grabbed Climbatize and hit the Tremor of Terror through the stage. This time, Climbatize couldn't answer the ten-count, giving BABJ the win.

"The Classic" John Sebastian vs. "The Master of Cruelty" Anubis

They wrestled for position early on, with Anubis catching Classic in a front facelock. Anubis tried to take Classic to the mat, but he countered with a Northern Lights suplex for a two-count.

Trouble in Paradise




http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/KateAvatar.jpg

The show had gone fairly well in my opinion, but there were problems that I had to deal with. As I sat in my office, wondering what to do with the pile of complaints on my desk, I pondered if he was more trouble than he was worth.

Doug Dunvegan himself, however, had told me how important it was to keep Brandon Harwell on board. He was nice enough to me when we went out together, but backstage he was apparently an absolute monster. Last week, he played a cruel prank on Joey T, and during IWF Nuclear Winter, he was causing all sorts of trouble backstage. I had tried being gentle with him, and I decided to continue to be gentle with him.

There was a knock at my door, and I sucked in a harsh breath. Brandon entered the room with a smile on his face. I sighed.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/BrandonHarwell.jpg

"Why the long face, babe?" he inquired, noting my expression.

"We have some problems," I replied.

"Like what?"

"Have a seat," I told him, trying to remain professional. He had only been my boyfriend for two weeks, and he was already trying my patience at work.

"What's going on?"

"Look, everyone backstage is complaining about your attitude," I explained, lowering my head. "First the prank on Joey T, then all the bragging and being so high on yourself. You're acting like you're carrying the company, and everyone is getting pissed off about it."

"Look, I've always been the one making this promotion great, and I demand respect for that!" he exclaimed, blowing even this small talk out of proportion.

"I know you're done great things, but you don't have to brag so much about it," I told him, reaching out to him; he simply glared at me. "The fact that we're dating isn't helping matters because people are feeling like I'm giving you special treatment. The problem is that they're right, I am giving you special treatment. I wouldn't put up with this crap from anyone else, but I know how valuable you are and I care. I know that deep down, you're a good person. I just want others to see that as well."

"This is a waste of time," he said, getting up and heading for the door. "I'm sick of these little talks. Just let me do my thing and we'll be just fine. I'm trying my best to work with you, and I really like you, but you're starting to be a nag."

With that, he walked out of the office. My eyes were wide with disbelief. He had told me off. It seemed that the only people he respected were the women, and that was only if they gave him special attention. I shook my head, trying to make sense of it all. I knew I had to keep him happy, but how was I supposed to keep him and everyone else happy at the same time?

Shorty Biggs vs. Felicia Duarte

Shorty Biggs and Felicia Duarte had great flow in this match from the start, with Biggs getting an early advantage. Biggs kept Felicia grounded for a time, but couldn't keep her down for long. Felicia took to the air and hit some high-risk moves to turn the match around. Sinister tried to distract her, but was taken out with a tope suicida. Felicia then went back in, overcame an attempted comeback by Biggs, and hit the Como Usted Quiera for the win.

Dawson Polaris vs. "The Warlord of Illusion" Dais

Dawson Polaris did well as this match opened, taking the agile Dais to the mat early on. Dais eventually hit a spinning headscissors to get back in the game, but was out-wrestled by Dawson. Dawson went for the Polaris Deathdrop early, but Dais countered with a backdrop driver to take control of the match. Dais could not remain in control for long, though, as Dawson came back and wrestled him back down. Anubis came down to the ring, and as Dais distracted the referee by faking an injury, Anubis nailed Dawson with the Dark Millennium. Dais used this to get the pin to retain.

Mista Ed vs. Sarah Dunvegan

Mista Ed came into this match swinging, taking Sarah Dunvegan down early with a series of punches. He tried to use his power to keep Sarah down, but did not have enough of a power or size advantage to do so. Sarah wrestled him down over time and started working over his legs. Ed kicked her away and went to grab a chair, but the referee stopped him. Ed took Sarah out with a clothesline. Ed tried to finish Sarah with the Endgame, but Sarah countered with a huracanrana for a two-count. Sarah then caught Ed in the Twister and got the submission victory.

Despite tonight's minor setbacks, they declare their intentions to take back their belts from The Dark Warlords and say that they'll have their gold back soon enough and no one is going to stop them, especially not a bunch of monkeys in samurai armor or a couple of little girls with big egos.

Hardcore Match
Sinister vs. Big Kahuna

Sinister tried his best to keep away from Big Kahuna in this match, knowing that the big man could easily overpower him. Kahuna eventually caught him and sent him to the floor with a big ropeflip clothesline. Kahuna went to the outside and slammed Sinister into the ring post and then smashed his face into the ring steps. Sinister grabbed a chair and hit Kahuna, but only managed to make the big man angry. Kahuna took the fight to Sinister and beat him down, but Sinister slipped away and hit a couple of spinning heel kicks to finally take the big man down. At that point, The Keldon Warlord came out and assaulted Big Kahuna with his halberd. Kahuna was quickly busted open, but he fought back valiantly. Just when it looked like Sinister might pick up the win, Kahuna moved out of the way of a swing by Warlord, causing him to hit Sinister instead. Kahuna took Warlord down with a chair, then hit a standing moonsault on Sinister for the win.

"The Real Deal" Scott Ericson vs. Jimmy Dragon

This was a masterful match on the ground, with the two wrestling for position early. Dragon got the upper-hand for a little while, taking Ericson down with the Dragon Hammer for a two-count. Ericson fought back hard and turned the tide after a big Russian legsweep out of nowhere. Ericson looks ready to maybe take the win when Dragon tosses him out of the ring. They fight on the outside a bit, and Dragon tosses Ericson over the guardrail. Dragon goes back to the ring to avoid getting counted out, and that is when Anubis, Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet all run down to the ring. Dragon takes the defensive as the referee tries to prevent the interference. Dragon hits Sekhmet with a savate kick, Cale with the Dragon Hammer, Dais with a spinning heel kick, and Anubis with a high-angle dropkick. The referee manages to count Ericson out in the meantime, as he was unable to get back up and make it back to the ring. It was an odd ending to an otherwise good match.

The Keldon Warlord vs. Big Kahuna

Big Kahuna was looking for revenge in this match, taking the fight right to The Keldon Warlord. Warlord was just as powerful as his larger rival, though, and fought back hard. They brawled all over the ring, and eventually Kahuna hit a ropeflip clothesline to send Warlord to the outside. He hit a baseball slide, then rammed Warlord's face into the ring post. Once back in the ring, Kahuna looked to finish it, but then Steve Liermann and Bad Ass Brad Jones hit the ring. Liermann distracted the referee while BABJ hit Kahuna with the IWF Hardcore Title belt.

IWF Television Title Bout
Tully Blanchard vs. "The Warlord of Illusion" Dais

Dais did not take the veteran Tully Blanchard seriously at first, using several hit-and-run tactics to smack Blanchard around. Blanchard eventually took the fight to him and wrestled him to the mat. Dais was taken by surprise by the fight Blanchard had in him, and he got knocked into the corner. Dais came back out of it, though, and turned the tide. Out came Edgar Dunvegan, who pulled the referee out when he was making a count on Blanchard. Dais hit a tope suicida that wiped out both the referee and Edgar. Edgar nailed Dais with the Air Anchor on the concrete floor, then tossed him and the referee back into the ring. Blanchard then hit the Slingshot Suplex to get the pinfall victory and win the belt.

Cale went for the Black Lightning Suplex, but Dragon slid down his back and took Cale down with a sunset flip for a two-count.

This match was a mess considering who was involved. Neither of them showed much psychology in the ring, and Joey T was off his game. Jerry Dunvegan put up a big fight, but in the end was taken down by T. Jerry fought back valiantly and hit a low blow to even things out, but it wasn't enough to keep T down.

The arena is filled with boos as they realize that this will be a dull Hardcore Match. Still, Steve Liermann and Big Kahuna do their best to entertain. Kahuna knocks Liermann to the floor with a ropeflip clothesline early on. Kahuna takes Liermann and slams his face into the ring post before grabbing the ring bell and nailing him with it. Liermann is busted open early, but he will not be denied. He fights back and knocks Kahuna into the ring steps. Liermann then reaches under the ring and pulls out a barbed wire baseball bat. The fans actually cheer him for using the weapon, and he nails Kahuna hard with it, busting him open. He hits him again, knocking him over the guardrail and into the crowd. Liermann follows up, but Kahuna grabs a chair and knocks the barbed wire baseball bat from his hands. Kahuna hits Liermann then and goes for the pin, but only gets a two-count.

Mista Ed and Cale started things off. They brawled all over the ring, but Ed managed to get an upper-hand and trap Cale in his team's corner, where he and Shorty Biggs double-teamed the big man. Cale was down, but not out, and took them down with a double clothesline. He then tagged out to Felicia Duarte. Ed and Biggs did not see her coming, and she wiped them both out with a flying spinning leg lariat. She then started hammering away at Biggs. Ed tried to save Biggs, but Sarah Dunvegan cut him off and tossed him out of the ring. Felicia pulled Biggs up, and he raked her eyes. Biggs tossed Felicia into the corner and set her up for the Short Cut, but Felicia tossed him to the mat. Felicia then hit a moonsault for a two-count. Felicia pulled Biggs up and hit the Como Usted Quiera to eliminate The Militia.

BakerMan entered the ring next, hitting a flying clothesline on Felicia. Felicia fought back with a series of punches, then tagged in Sarah. Sarah wrestled BakerMan to the mat, but he kicked her away and hit an enzuigiri to stagger her. BakerMan tagged out to Joey T, who entered the ring and cleaned house. Sarah tried to intervene, but was only taken down along with Felicia. T then knocked both Cale and Sekhmet off the ring apron, where BakerMan went after them both. T pulled Felicia up, but she took him over with a surprise backdrop. T got back to his feet, but fell to a dropkick from Felicia. Felicia tagged out to Sarah, and the two double-teamed T. T was unable to fight both of them off, and Sarah eventually hit the Hurricane Press to pin him and eliminate Split Seconds.

Cale entered the ring and wrestled with Sarah, powering her down to the mat and stomping her. Felicia got to the top turnbuckle and nailed him with a flying headscissors. Sekhmet entered the ring and cut her off at that point, and a brawl erupted between all four competitors. Sekhmet tossed Felicia out of the ring.

In a post-match promo, Sarah Dunvegan and Felicia Duarte are livid. After doing all the work of eliminating The Militia and Split Seconds, The Dark Warlords used every trick in the book to save their reign as the IWF Tag Team Champions. They hype themselves up as the team Corruption and Venom can't beat clean, and swear that this is far from over.

IWF World Heavyweight Title Bout
Casket Match
Jimmy Dragon vs. "The Master of Cruelty" Anubis

Jimmy Dragon and Anubis locked up and wrestled for position early on. Dragon got the upper-hand early on, wrestling Anubis into the corner. Dragon hit several chops to Anubis. Dragon then placed Anubis on the turnbuckle and took him down with a belly-to-belly superplex. Anubis was already hurting, and Dragon stomped him viciously. Anubis rolled to the outside, but Dragon hit him with a tope suicida. Dragon whipped Anubis at the casket, but could not get him inside it. Anubis fought back by wrestling Dragon into a clinch and hitting several powerful knee strikes followed by a high knee. Dragon was staggered a bit by this.

Anubis whipped Dragon into the ring steps, then gave him a vicious kick to the head. Dragon was busted open by the kick, and Anubis kept striking him. Anubis went to mount Dragon, but was tossed over with a monkey flip. Dragon went after Anubis, but got caught in a clinch again and was taken to the floor with a belly-to-belly suplex. Anubis got side control and rained down punches on Dragon, who could only cover up. Dragon tried to bring his legs up around Anubis's head, but was unable to do so. Anubis tried to transition to a mount, but Dragon got the sweep and spun around to a back mount from which he hit a series of elbows to the back of Anubis's head.

Anubis managed to slip out of the back mount, and when Dragon charged him, Anubis used Dragon's momentum to whip him into the ring post. Anubis moved in to capitalize, but Dragon was getting fired up. Anubis went for a Yakuza kick, but Dragon caught his leg. Anubis went for an enzuigiri, but Dragon ducked down and caught Anubis in a waistlock suplex on the concrete floor. Dragon dragged Anubis toward the casket, and it loooked like victory was at hand. Then the lights went out. After several moments, the lights came back on, and Dragon was surrounded by Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet. Dais moved in first, and fell to a savate kick from Dragon. Cale tried to grab Dragon, but was brought over with a snap suplex followed by a kick to the back of the head. Sekhmet grabbed a chair and slammed Dragon with it several times. Sekhmet and Anubis then double-teamed Dragon and stomped him into the floor. Anubis and Sekhmet then stuffed Dragon into the casket and closed the lid, giving Anubis the win to retain the IWF World Heavyweight Title.

"Have you read the news?!" Brandon said excitedly as he burst into my office. "The wrestling web sites are all declaring that I'm the greatest heel in wrestling today! Not only that, but I've gotten several calls today with movie offers! I'm a freaking icon!"

"Wow, someone's high on himself," I said, rolling my eyes a bit; still, I could not deny that he was the most over worker in the wrestling industry after the recent program with Jimmy Dragon. "Just remember who it was that helped you get there."

"Naturally, babe, we're going out to celebrate tomorrow night," he told me with a wink.

"Sounds good, but I still have a couple of problems to deal with," I said with a frown as I looked over some papers.

"What's up, babe?" he asked as he hopped up onto my desk and gave me a crooked smile.

"I'm pissed off about the pay-per-view carriers objecting to the Japanese Barbed Wire Match last night," I told him.

"Yeah, I had that problem, too," he admitted. "I never could get around it. Had some ideas, but wasn't sure if they were viable. Can't get around the stubborn media."

"If you can't beat 'em, join 'em," I said with a devious smile.

"Oh?"

"Sorry to cut this short, Brandon, but I need to go have a word with Mr. Dunvegan," I stated as I got up, left my office, and headed for Doug Dunvegan's office.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/DougDunvegan.jpg

"What can I do for you?" Doug asked as I walked in. I put some papers on his desk.

"Imperia Pay-Per-View is what you can do for me," I answered.

"Imperia Pay-Per-View?"

"In light of the recent booking mishap because of those ignorant network executives, my idea is for Imperia Corporation to expand into the media," I explained as I sat across from him. "That way, we can have our own network and do whatever we want on it. Naturally, there will be the normal selection of pay-per-views as well, which should bring in extra revenue. I've been working on this proposal since I got up, and I think you'll like the numbers."

He took a moment to read over my papers. He was nodding as he read. Soon, he smiled and looked up.

"This is pure genius, Kate," he commented with a nod and a smile. "I can have this set up in a few weeks. Definitely in time for Battlezone. What do we do about Japan, though?"

"We drop 'em, plain and simple, until such a time as they have a network that'll carry our product," I said. "Until then, we'll run occasional house shows over there. For now, we'll concentrate on the United States and Canada."

"I knew I made a good decision by putting you in charge!" he exclaimed happily. "I'll set the wheels in motion right away. Good job, Kate."

"Thank you, Mr. Dunvegan."

With that, I left with a smile on my face. Indeed, Brandon and I would be celebrating, and more than just his achievement. There was plenty to celebrate at this point. Everything was going according to plan.

Kate Avatar is being helped to the back by officials and medics, and Dais gets on the mic and starts taunting her. He said that Avatar's winning streak meant nothing and that she's just a scrub compared to The Dark Warlords. Dais tells her to stick to being a curtain jerker. Avatar is livid and tries to go after him, but the officials, Doug Dunvegan, Edgar Dunvegan, and road agent Elmer Patinkin drag her back to the locker room.

"The Crown Jewel" Bad Ass Brad Jones vs. "The Classic" John Sebastian

This match was very lacking because the fans didn't know who to root for. They displayed plenty of excellent technical wrestling, but the fans were just too confused. Bad Ass Brad Jones, as the younger guy, had an early advantage, but John Sebastian's experience proved to be the deciding factor as he hits the "Classic" Beat Slam to get the win.

He reminds all the booing fans that The Dark Warlords have prevailed over Clan Dunvegan time and again, and that it's gonna happen again tonight when he dismantles Edgar Dunvegan. Anubis is booed out of the building and has incredible heat.

Sarah Dunvegan vs. "The Warlord of Corruption" Cale

Cale came in like a maniac, punching Sarah Dunvegan ruthlessly. She wouldn't give in, though, even after getting her nose busted open. She shot for the legs and took the big man down to the mat, going for the Twister early. Cale shrugged her off and started tossing her all over the ring. She rolled to the outside to collect her thoughts, and Cale went after her. Sarah caught him by surprise with a rake to the eyes, then slammed his face into the ring post before tossing him back into the ring. Sarah went for the Hurricane Press, but Sekhmet ran down and shoved her off the turnbuckle. Sekhmet then distracted the referee while Cale used the tire iron on Sarah. Cale then hit the Black Lightning Hammer for the win.

Cale and Sekhmet take tire irons to Sarah Dunvegan, looking to incapacitate her completely. A limping and bloody Felicia Duarte makes her way down to the ring and runs in to make the save. Cale and Sekhmet turn to her and get pepper spray in their eyes. Felicia then hits a double flying spinning leg lariat on both of them and runs them off. Felicia then helps Sarah to the back where they can recover.

Edgar Dunvegan vs. "The Master of Cruelty" Anubis

Edgar Dunvegan came into this match looking for a fight, and Anubis was glad to give it to him. Anubis pulled Edgar into a clinch and hammered him with several stiff knees, then tried to take him to the mat. Edgar slipped out of it and hit a springboard clothesline to take him down. Edgar took Anubis to the mat and worked him over, going mainly for the neck, and put Anubis in a dragon sleeper. Anubis got the rope break. Anubis tackled Edgar and got a mount on Edgar, but Edgar was able to cover himself against the blows by Anubis. Edgar tossed Anubis with a monkey flip, but then got sent to the outside witha ropeflip clothesline. Dais came to ringside. Anubis distracted the referee, and Dais attacked Edgar with the tire iron, busting him open, before tossing him back into the ring. Anubis then hit the Cutting Edge for the win to retain.

I would not take it to heart, it seems almost every new diary on here gets a one star rating. I know mine did.

[Bigpapa42]

Yeah, ignore the stars. Unfortunately, you can't really use it as an accurate gauge of a diary, not unless there are quite a few people who have voted. There had been diaries hit with the lovely 1-star before they ever even got to their first show, so obviously people are doing it for the sake of doing it.

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

Thanks for the comments . . . My confidence has just been shaken because of the lack of feedback and the lack of votes . . . It makes me wonder if anyone even really cares about the diary, or if I'm just wasting my time working on it . . . I have self-esteem issues . . . Bad ones . . .

Two people just commented. It means they are reading along.

Alot of us do not comment unless we get some sort of urge to do so. The 1-Star phenomonon has been going on for quite some time now, and as was said, seems to hit every single person doing a diary.

I remember a thread somewhere about this, and I believe a few people hit all diary's with a 1 star if they only see one vote, or see a five star vote, thinking it's the person that made the diary's vote. They feel that if they hit it with a 1-star it will counter the author's own vote. It's really a shame people do this, because lets say everyone votes on their own thread... It's only one vote, and it carries "equal" weight for all diary's. IF I thought this was a problem, instead of 1 voting people, I would just hit myself with a five star vote as well. Alot of folks don't like to vote for themselves, but it's the only thing I can think of to counter it.

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

Well so far there are two people who've done it to me. Well, I guess I'll have to take matters into my own hands to do something about it. I hadn't voted on my own thread here yet, but I'm gonna start.

I'm gonna keep working hard and putting out the best shows I can, especially when it comes to PPV time.

Feedback can a tough thing around these parts. This has been discussed a fair bit before, often in the Diary Writing Tips thread (if memory serves). Everyone who takes the time and effort to put together a project on here wants to see feedback from their readers. In a sense, its validation. But it doesn't always happen, not the extent most writers would like to see. Its not that the readers don't care (necessarily) or can't be bothered... With newer projects, its really just a learned response.

Many diaries that are started on here do not last. The majority make it only a few shows. This is something readers have come to realize, and many readers seem to stay in the background a bit off the start, unless it the writer is already known (and sometimes even despite that). This creates a catch-22 situation - some of those diaries die off early because the writer feels ignored and gets discouraged. This is why a very common diary writing tip is that people throw around is the "write for yourself" first and foremost.

Now the added complication in your case is that you are not only using an unknown promotion, but also a created universe. There are some familiar workers but also many unfamiliar ones. That also means that readers take a bit longer to become familiar with your project.

The only real way to know if people are reading is to watch your view count. Can that be discouraging? Absolutely. But its the only way to know for certain. Even the most established writers and respected diaries won't always get feedback or even predictions. It happens. The only thing you can do, as a writer, is to keep going with it. If the quality is there, the readers will come.

[Bolton]

I'll say that your diary's quite entertaining, and it's interested me in this mod of yours. Jimmy Dragon for World Champ! :D

I seond this comment and all the other positive comments. One lil suggestion that could bring in more feedback would be a prediction form. I LOVE these forms as it gets my opinion out there about your wrestlers and characters and such.

Anyhoo, Big Kahuna--future world champ! lol

[ShadowedFlames]

You already know my stance on eventual world champions. :cool:

But to echo the others...I was doing a dynasty with TEW 07, and I was getting discouraged because only the same two or three people were posting stuff. Granted, I was doing a two-promotion game, and managed over a year in-game before my computer crashed on me (I think I was on my 30th show when t happened), but I kept going because I figured someone had to be reading it, even if they didn't comment explicitly. Just gotta buckle down and keep at it.

Main Show

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/GeorgeForeman.jpghttp://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/RandyOrton.jpg

The ring is set up for The George and Randy Show. George Foreman comes out with Randy Orton close behind him. Foreman says he wants to teach Orton how to be more of a gentleman, but Orton doesn't seem interested. Orton suggests a bikini contest between random women in the audience, with the winner getting a date with him. The girls go wild, but Foreman rolls his eyes.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/JohnSebastian.jpg

John Sebastian comes to the ring, wearing the "Classic" shades and adjusting the "Classic" coconuts on the way down. He steps into the ring and shakes hands with Foreman, but pretends that Orton isn't even there. Classic says that no show is complete without a "Classic" element, so he's come to bring some much-needed entertainment to the program. Orton tries to talk to Classic, but is asked who he is. Orton says his name, but Classic just responds by asking him why anyone should care about him. Orton says the girls love him, so he's there to bring in the young female demographic. Classic laughs at him and says he's just a "Classic" nobody with no talent and an imaginary following. Orton objects, but gets a "Classic" Beat Slam for doing so. Classic then gets bored and tells Foreman to get to the announcers' table and get the show on the road.

"Hell Cat" Kate Avatar vs. Jimmy Dragon

This match was Kate Avatar's best yet, and she was not she to lock up with Jimmy Dragon. They wrestle for position, and Dragon gets her in a front facelock. Dragon takes her to the mat and works her over, but she squirms free and comes back with a series of kicks that knocks Dragon into the corner. She then hits a monkey flip to send him to the middle of the ring, and climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits a moonsault. Dragon kicks out, then shoots for her legs. He catches her and takes her to the mat, then quickly locks her in the Final Countdown out of nowhere for the win.

They have a good laugh, then discuss the "T-P" in some obvious double innuendo. They claim there's just not enough of it to matter. After a good laugh, they leave the ring.

Dawson Polaris vs. "The Real Deal" Scott Ericson

Dawson Polaris comes into this match strong, wrestling Scott Ericson to the mat early on. Ericson fights out of it easily enough and punches Dawson into the corner. He takes him down with a superplex, but that's not enough to keep him down. Dawson fights back valiantly and starts working over Ericson's legs. When he goes for the Polaris Deathdrop, though, Ericson gives him a mule kick. Dawson still has some fight in him. Ericson then uses brass knuckles from where the referee can't see and knocks Dawson out cold with a punch to get the pin.

T almost gets the win, but Ed kicks out. Ed then hits a low blow to turn the tables on him. Ed isolates T in his team's corner, where he and Shorty Biggs double-team him. BakerMan enters the ring and breaks it up, and the referee sends BakerMan and Ed out of the ring. Biggs works over T's leg a bit, but T is able to fight back and take him down with a shoulderblock. T tags in BakerMan, who is on fire as he takes out Biggs and then Ed. BakerMan hits a series of high-risk moves on Biggs, and looks ready to hit the BakerCut. Ed enters the ring and breaks it up, hitting a flying double-axhandle on BakerMan. Biggs tags in Ed, then goes and knocks T off the ring apron. They then hit the DDC on BakerMan, and Ed gets the pin.

Doug Dunvegan, Edgar Dunvegan, Sarah Dunvegan, and Felicia Duarte
vs.
The Dark Warlords

Doug Dunvegan and Anubis started out. Doug used his boxing skills to get an early advantage, but the younger and faster Anubis eventually shot for the legs and took Doug down. Doug pounded on him, then got up enough to tag in Felicia Duarte. Felicia hit a flying spinning leg lariat on Anubis and made him tag out to Dais. Dais and Felicia traded high spots, then they both tagged out to Sarah Dunvegan and Cale. Cale comes in like a raving madman, hammering away at Sarah mercilessly. Edgar Dunvegan and Felicia come in to cut the monster off, but he wipes all three of them out. Cale tags in Sekhmet, and the two double-team Sarah for a bit, hurting her badly. eventually, Anubis is tagged in, and he goes after the hurt Sarah. Sarah fights back, though, and still has some fire in her. Anubis gets side control, but Sarah sweeps him and gets a back mount from which she fires away a series of elbowsmashes. Sarah then tags in Felicia, who hits a moonsault for the two-count. Felicia wears Anubis down some more, but can't keep him down. Anubis tries to make the tag, but Felicia isolates him and double-teams him with Sarah. Felicia goes for the Como Usted Quiera, but Anubis counters with a powerbomb. Everything becomes a mess as Anubis goes for the pin with a handful of tights and Dais, Cale, and Sekhmet cut off Doug, Edgar, and Sarah. Anubis picks up the win for The Dark Warlords.

[ShadowedFlames]

I'm calling it right here. Orton shocks the world.

I was nearly ready to do this, but I see the author deciding to bring Orton up slowly, eventually going into a feud with Avatar. Of course, I could be wildly wrong but I just don't see the Jesus push starting this early for Orton...at least, not without Orton becoming the prima donna he's been construed as in WWE. I just don't see anyone willingly going that route with Orton.

Just a fun little note about Big Kahuna for those who haven't seen his stats: he's a Super Heavyweight Psychopath with B Rumble and B Flying. Yes, he's a massive monster aerial worker. His Kahuna Bomb is a moonsault. It's like Vader squared. So yeah, there's your fun fact of the day.

Battlezone is gonna be a pain in the butt to write out, but it'll be worth the wait!

I gotta admit, though, I'm still greatly bothered by the (now) multiple people who are downgrading my diary and don't have the balls to take responsibility for their immature behavior or grow the **** up. Sorry, but I'm very emotional and really bothered by people picking on me . . .

The diary may be dead in the water anyway. The repetitive booking penalty is killing the tag team match completely (D- to be precise based on preliminary runs), even though I thought for sure the high-graded storyline would push it over the top. That and the morale effects are starting to show because everyone on my roster is so finicky (one person is griping about having 2 losses with 6 wins).

I don't think I'm good enough to play at TEW2008's high challenge level, so I may have to wait until TEW2010 in order to be able to turn off all the things getting in the way of me being able to play. I'm just no good at this game. Between the morale penalties (which is too sensitive) and the repetitive booking penalty (which I don't find realistic anyway, not at the extreme that it's at currently at least), I can't put on a good show. I don't know. I have to put some thought into it all. The diary may be dead until TEW2010, though.

I'm willing to listen to your thoughts on the matter. I'm just in a bad place right now with the game itself, and having trouble playing. Although have some personal issues. I just really have to think about things. The card is booked already, but I just don't know what to do with it now. I guess I'm having my worst self-esteem problems yet. I just want to have fun and book shows, I'm not interested in challenge, I just like writing and running a show.

I will give you my stock answer to this question: You should do whatever you feel right doing. If you are not having fun then kill the diary.

Okay now that my stock answer is out of the way I would like to say: I am much like you in that I am not the best TEW player and it is tough trying to think of ways around the whole repetitive booking penalty. However, I think you have done a great job with this diary thus far and I for one would like to see it go on.

That being said I understand maybe holding off until TEW10. The games seems to be like it is going to be a lot more user friendly for us decent players.

I may just do that, though if I do, the first three months of shows will just end up being repeats most likely. I have a specific set of stories I'd like to tell. As long as nothing new gets added to workers (fingers crossed), DreamVerse will be released very quickly for TEW2010. I already have planned on how to use some of the new features, and the new editor features will be very good at replicating some of the things I had envisioned for DreamVerse.

So maybe when the time comes, I'll redo it in TEW2010 and keep it going from there. I probably should have waited anyway since I started so close to TEW2010 and I'm not good at playing TEW2008's challenge level. I'm just not good enough and the game mechanics don't fit my vision well enough to work.

Perhaps, when the time comes, if it's at all possible, I'll have this thread moved to the TEW2010 diaries section and continue on from Battlezone once I get back there in the game.

So, with that said, I think I'm putting the diary "on hold" until TEW2010. I want you all to see my true vision, and it's just not working in TEW2008.

I've never actually stepped into the thread to predict but I've read throught it and it's solid work, but maybe they're down grading you because you took it so badly and kind of flipped out when you got the first 1 star rating. It's just a star, if you're really interested in writing the diary you wouldn't care about what the stars mean.

Do what you want, I can wait. After all, Randy Orton's godpush has to start somewhere. :p ;)

Just a note, I'll be asking Adam to move this over to the TEW2010 dynasty forum now, and once I get my game caught up in TEW2010, we'll be picking up right where we left off: Battlezone!

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

Okay, the game has been taken to the point where we left off, only in TEW2010. Here are some of the changes in the game world that you may need to know if you're interested.

TWF and GGC are both developmental territories of IWF.
XWW never became a developmental territory of IWF.
Signed Erik Pigman to a written deal and sent him to TWF.
Signed Jackie Lewis to a written deal and sent her to GGC.
Signed Mercedes Lewis to a written deal and sent her to GGC.
Signed Sharron Ferber and sent her to GGC as a trainer.
Signed George Doyle and sent him to TWF as a trainer.
Signed Apathy to a PPA deal.
Ric Flair never retired and thus is no longer in the Hall of Immortals.
Tully Blanchard never retired.
Bought out and pillaged THW, taking the THW Heavyweight Title, Draco, Josh Allen, Trevor Finnell, and Ivana Katsunova.
Signed Draco to a written deal.
Signed Josh Allen to a written deal and sent him to TWF.
Signed Trevor Finnell to a written deal and sent him to TWF.
Signed Ivana Katsunova to a written deal.

With that, everyone should be caught up, and Battlezone 2002 will be coming to the thread in the very near future!

Anubis comes to the ring, glaring around at the fans, and says that tonight he will end the Dunvegan legacy by taking out its patriarch. He calls Doug Dunvegan an old man who has no business stepping into the ring with a mixed martial artist of his calibur, and that's he's going to break and bury Doug. The fans boo him, but he talks about how foolish the fans are for rooting for an old man, and says he hopes no one put too much money on Doug, because they'd be sorely disappointed.

Great show. Too bad Orton's godpush had to fade so quickly...joking, joking. :P Doug winning the title was a surprise, and can't wait to see what happens next.

[DreamGoddessLindsey]

No word yet as to when I'll get the next part going. I ran into a critical error in TEW2010 that is preventing me from evolving storylines, so until the problem is solved, I'm stuck where I am. That and I need to write the next part of the major storyline going on, so that might take a few. No worries, more IWF action will be coming in the near future!

More Risk In The Risque




http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/KateAvatar.jpg

I was looking over the locker room, Doug Dunvegan sitting nearby just to oversee the coming speech. It was time for a change in IWF. My boyfriend had been none too happy about dropping the IWF World Heavyweight Title to Mr. Dunvegan, but that was just too bad. There needed to be a good storyline running, and it would pay off for everybody in the end.

I scanned the faces in the locker room and a smirk crawled up my face. It was time for the big announcement.

"As many of you know, IWF draws a very vocal crowd," I stated, pacing before them. "Well, those vocal fans have been vocal about one thing in particular, that being the lack of risque content in our product. Our fans want something with a little more edge, and it's my plan to give it to them.

"On that note, starting with the next show, we're gonna give them an edgier product. More blood, more violence, more everything. Not just wrestling, but all-out violence. I know some of you more traditional types may be against such a move, but this is what's best for the company. You can either get behind me and my decisions, or we can show you the door.

"I can't have anyone questioning me at this point. We need to please our fans. We need to give them what they want. We are a cutting edge company that puts out an ultra-violent product of a realistic nature. Or at least we're supposed to be. Now we will be. Any questions?"

The locker room was silent. Most of the workers looked pleased, interested in letting loose in the ring. Some in particular, such as Steve Liermann and Bad Ass Brad Jones, were thinking that it would be like the good old hardcore days. Mista Ed, Shorty Biggs, Sinister, Big Kahuna, and Scott Ericson also looked pleased, as did the other Dunvegans in attendance. Some, such as John Sebastian, were more nonchalant about it, but I had a feeling most of the locker room was behind me in this decision.

It was time for the cutting edge era of IWF to truly begin.

Dawson Polaris vs. "Emperor" Jerry Dunvegan

This match went much better than planned. They seemed to have great chemistry from the start, locking up and wrestling for position better than either had ever done before. Dawson took Jerry down to the mat, looking to wrestle him into submission, but Jerry would have none of it, wrestling back nicely. Jerry hit a series of punches on Dawson in the corner, then exposed the turnbuckle. The referee warmed Jerry, but Jerry slammed Dawson's face on the exposed turnbuckle anyway, busting him open. This seemed to fuel the fire, and Dawson came back to life, hitting a series of elbowsmashes on Jerry before tossing him into the corner and hitting a Polaris Splash. Dawson whipped Jerry into the exposed turnbuckle and went for another Polaris Splash, but Jerry moved, and Dawson hit the turnbuckle hard. Dawson stumbled back, and Jerry hit the Enforcer. Amazingly, he only got a two-count. He argued with the referee and found himself in an inside cradle for a two count.

Jimmy Dragon vs. "The Classic" John Sebastian

Classic got away with a mule kick, then hit a snap mare. Classic ran into the ropes and gave Dragon a dropkick to the face. Dragon was busted open.

Dragon had Classic down and went to the top turnbuckle. PX distracted the referee, and while Dragon set up for the Dragon Fly, BA hit him with a chair and caused him to fall off the turnbuckle on his head.

The two locked up at the start and wrestled for position. Dawson tried to wrestle Dragon to the mat, but Dragon was too quick for him. Dragon hit a hip toss, then as Dawson got up, a leg lariat. Dragon took Dawson to the mat and worked on Dawson's neck, putting him in a dragon sleeper. Dawson got to the ropes after about 9 seconds in the hold. Dragon whipped Dawson into the ropes and gave him a savate kick as he came back. Dragon got a two-count. Dragon pulled Dawson up, who took him over with a backdrop. Dawson then went to work on Dragon's legs, tweaking them all ways and putting him in a leglock submission. Dragon got to the ropes after 6 seconds. Dawson pulled Dragon up, and after a quick exchange, Dawson was behind Dragon and gave him the Polaris Deathdrop. Dragon amazingly kicked out, much to Dawson's chagrin. Dragon nailed Dawson with a thrust kick to the head, then went up top. Dragon hit the Dragon Fly, then pulled Dawson up and hit the Dragon Driver for the three-count.

Split Seconds vs. Girl Power (c)

Felicia Duarte and Joey T started out. T used his power to his advantage, hitting Felicia with several big punches, but Felicia would not be deterred and came back with a spinning headscissors. T tried to recover, but but she nailed him with a springback back elbow. Felicia hit a standing moonsault for a two-count. Felicia tagged Sarah Dunvegan in, and she went to work on T's legs before he could make the tag. Sarah put him in a surfboard, and BakerMan finally entered the ring to break it up. Felicia climbed to the top turnbuckle and nailed him with a flying spinning headscissors. T recovered enough to start hammering Sarah, eventually taking her down with a T-Line. T went for the TNT, but Sarah slid down his back and took him down with a sunset flip for a two-count. T tagged in BakerMan at that point, and BakerMan hit a flying headscissors on Sarah. Sarah kicked him away and tagged in Felicia. Felicia took BakerMan down and isolated him in her team's corner, where the two double-teamed him. T eventually came in and cut them off, hitting ropeflip clotheslines on both of them to send them to the floor. The referee has lost control of the match at this point. It seems Sarah and BakerMan are the legal competitors. T is working Felicia on the outside as Sarah works over BakerMan on the inside. Felicia takes T down amazingly, then gets back on the ring apron. Felicia enters the ring and they hit the On Top Of The World on BakerMan, allowing Sarah to get the pin.

The Keldon Warlord vs. Jimmy Dragon

In a rather lackluster main event, The Keldon Warlord took on Jimmy Dragon. Warlord came at Dragon with everything he had, brawling him into the corner. Dragon seemed helpless at first, taking shot after shot and getting busted open in the process. Dragon tried to cut Warlord's legs out from under him, but got kicked in the face for his trouble. Warlord soon ran out of steam, though, and looked exhausted from going at Dragon too hard. Dragon took advantage and hit a belly-to-back suplex. Dragon went to the top rope, hit the Dragon Fly, then picked him up and hit the Dragon Driver for the win.

Instead, now he's after IWF itself. He offers something he doesn't think Doug would refuse.

Big Kahuna comes into this match with a power advantage and beats Bad Ass Brad Jones to the mat. Kahuna is in control for a while, hammering away. He tosses BABJ to the outside and whips him back and forth into the ring steps before slamming him face-first into the ring post. Kahuna tosses him back in the ring and looks to finish the job when BABJ rakes his eyes. Kahuna still comes back for the Hawaii Hurt, and BABJ tries to reverse into the Tremor of Terror only to find he can't lift the big man.

Apparently, I didn't put the coffin of Clan Dunvegan fan enough into the ground, though, since my old friend Jerry decided to assault me and try to maim me. Jerry, do you really think you can turn your family's fortunes around? Do you really think you can top what I've done? Give it up. Focus your efforts where they belong, in the middle of this ring. Don't make me destroy you. We used to be friends. Do you really wanna throw it all away for this? Ask yourself what's happened to everyone else who's crossed me so far, and ask yourself if it's worth it. You want a fight? You got one. At Summer of War, you get yourself a partner if you can find someone stupid enough to stand with you, and I'll bring a partner of my own, and we'll throw down in the middle of this ring.

Brandon Harwell comes out to the ring, looking smug. "Last night, this so-called 'Dynasty' headed up by my old friend Jerry Dunvegan was put in its place. The Dynasty is nothing more than a sham. Jerry, Brad, you two got the beatings of your lives last night. You should've known better than to challenge me. I didn't get to the top of this company by accident. I got to the top of this company by being the very best. I have the martial arts experience, the tournament experience, and the championship experience to take professional wrestling to a whole new level. A level neither of you can even imagine. Steve and I worked as a well-oiled machine last night, and you got handed your asses."

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/Dais.jpg

Dais makes his way down to the ring amidst flaming pyros, mic in hand, and confronts Harwell. "Did you really think that The Dark Warlords would forget your betrayal? You may think you are the best fighter on the planet, but you're wrong. We know your weaknesses. We know how to bring you down. You've forgotten your place, Anubis. We will show you the darkness that you once showed us. We will beat it back into you!"

With that, Dais lays into Harwell, beating him into the corner. Harwell kicks him away and started fighting back. Security eventually come in and break up the fight, and it is announced that they will face each other in tonight's main event.

Brandon Harwell comes out to the ring, a grin on his face. "Last week, my old associate Dais thought he could burn the IWF President. He learned the hard way that it's not such an easy task. Meanwhile, my old friend Jerry thinks that he can still somehow take back IWF. Are you high, Jerry? Two questions, what are you on, and where can I get some? Your family is done as far as the hierarchy of IWF is concerned. I am the absolute power. Get used to it. Learn it, live it, love it. This is a new era for IWF, and I'm not going to let you get in the way. With people like me and Jimmy Dragon carrying the banner for this company, Clan Dunvegan will never again grace the offices of IWF."

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/Sekhmet.jpg

Sekhmet comes down to the ring then, looking angry. "So, Anubis, you think it's going to be so easy to dump us? Dais may have failed to take you out last week, but this week you have me to contend with. Dais and Cale may have lost their minds, but I have not. I may be the Warlord of Venom, but you're the real poison. You have used people for the last time, Anubis. Tonight, I will destroy you myself!"

Sekhmet starts hammering Harwell at that point, and Harwell fights back with some punches of his own. Before it can get out of hand, security break it up. They'll meet later tonight in a match.

Cale comes down to the ring while the video is playing and gets on the mic. "Anubis, we know your weakness! You have a lot of nerve crossing us, Anubis, but we will destroy you! If we can't destroy you directly, we'll destroy you through what you love! I know what you've been doing! You've started protecting certain people around here! Don't deny it! Your heart is still as dark as ever, but no one else realizes it yet! You may try to protect Jimmy Dragon or Kate Avatar or others, but we will destroy you all! Come out and face your destiny, Anubis! Face the everlasting fears of the corruption in your soul! Feel the damnation! You are an ant and I will crush you myself!"

Harwell finally has enough and makes his way down to the ring, an angry look on his face. "Cale, you really are a psycho. Dais and Sekhmet already got their asses handed to them. You wanna add your name to that list, that's just fine by me!"

Everything Changes



http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/KateAvatar.jpg

Things had been tumultuous for the last few months. I had plans to introduce a new brand for IWF called Windy City Wrestling, or WCW for short. The problem was with the networks. When we got on GHH Total Sports, they were then supporting both us and WWW on their network. This prevented us from getting a suitable show for the second brand. This has been quite an annoyance.

I was sitting in my office going over paperwork. We had decided to cancel our contract with GNN Total Sports, but we had to time it just right to stay on the air without missing any weeks. As such, the very week the contract was cancelled, we signed with USA Sports 1. This would result in lower ratings, but that was a hit I was willing to take to lower production costs and have a chance at a second, smaller show.

"Okay, this should be simple enough. Next cycle, we'll put in a request for another show, and hopefully get it," I said to myself.

Doug Dunvegan walked in at that point.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/DougDunvegan.jpg

"Well, Kate, it seems that you're really shaking up IWF," he commented. "That was a bold move you made with the networks. Quite risky, but it appears that the risks have paid off in spades. Now we can work on getting your WCW up and running."

"That's the idea," I said, looking up from the stack of papers in front of me."

"Also quite risky taking your relationship with Brandon public on-screen," he noted.

"Seemed like a nice dramatic way to get myself involved in the action," I responded. "After all, I'm a wrestler, too, first and foremost."

"Just try to make sure it doesn't look like favortism," he cautioned me. "You really did push Brandon hard there for a while, so much that he's known nationwide, all over the United States and Canada. He's a national icon, now."

"He earned it, that's all I can say to that," I told him. "His performances speak for themselves."

"That they do," he agreed. "He is definitely quite talented. He has earned his spot."

"Well now that this paperwork is finished, I think I'll go find Brandon and let him know what's going on," I said. "We're going on live tonight, gotta be ready."

"Very well, keep up the good work," he told me.

Doug stood up and left the room. I quickly signed a few more contracts and faxed them out. It was hard work running a company, but I was getting used to it. Things seemed to be smooth all around. I was mistaken.

I stood up and walked out of the room, and heard Brandon's voice around the corner. I sneaked up the side of the wall quietly and listened. Taking a peek, I saw him standing with Josie Hendrix. I pulled back and listened in on their conversation, my curiosity getting the better of me.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/BrandonHarwell.jpghttp://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/JosieHendrix.jpg

"You're certainly a very beautiful woman," he complimented her.

"Well thanks, you're kinda cute, too," she responded.

"You know, maybe, if it's okay with you, maybe I could take you out to dinner," he suggested.

"What about Kate? I thought she was your girlfriend?" Josie questioned.

"That's really been more of a fling," he explained. "Friends with benefits, nothing more. I'm looking for something more real, and you seem like a real kinda person."

I felt many emotions then. At first, there was anger. I thought we were more than just casual sex partners. I thought I'd changed him from being a womanizer. The realization hit me like a brick to the head. After the anger passed, I saw the potential benefit. I had only given him a chance to stay on his good side. If he wanted someone new, that would get me out of the relationship so I could move on with my life. I smirked.

"Well then I guess I'll see you tomorrow night for dinner," Josie said.

With that, their conversation was over, and Harwell walked away. Josie was coming in my direction. I walked out in front of her, startling her.

"I overheard your conversation," I told her, causing her to blush as she backed up a little.

"Kate, I'm so sorry . . ." she apologized.

"Well, that's a lie, but I don't really care," I said. "If you want him, you can have him. I don't mind. The relationship wasn't working anyway. I warn you now, though, that he's a womanizer. Please keep that between us, though."

"I . . . promise . . ." she agreed.

"Good, then have your way with him," I said. "Hell, we'll even play it out on-screen starting after Extreme Warfare perhaps. Have a love triangle with you getting your man. It'll all work out just fine in the end. Just tell him to come tell me it's over to my face, if you would."

"Okay," she stated. "Thanks for understanding and not firing me or beating me up or anything."

"Not a problem," I said with a giggle. "This works perfectly for both of us, believe me."

"Thanks!" she told me gratefully. "I'm glad you're not upset. Maybe we could even be friends!"

"I'd like that," I said. "You're a good girl, and I'm sure you'll be a valuable member of IWF."

She ran forward and gave me a hug. I hugged her back, patting her on the back. I gave her a smile, and to my shock, she gave me a kiss full on the lips. My eyes went wide, but she just giggled and ran off. That was certainly unexpected. What was waiting around the next corner for me?

[ShadowedFlames]

Still waiting on an SCW update. *folds arms and glares* Don't make me have to use my bargaining chip in the deal. :p

All kidding aside, I need to go back and re-read the Girl Power break-up. Can't believe I was only a couple of weeks off on that.

[PeterHilton]

I've read through most of the diary and take these as friendly suggestions..not at all as criticisms:

1) It might make it more fun or immersive for the 'viewer' to do some more of the pieces you write besides just the show recaps

-The behind the scenes stuff is cool. Keep that up.

-maybe talk about the business happening in the Dreamverse in other companies? make it more immersive for people who don't play this mod.

-Do bio pieces for your lesser known workers?

Just suggestions. You're a writer so I thought it might be interesting to see you flex your muscles as it were by expounding on these chracters and giving them a depth beyond what we read in the shows. And it would break up the recaps.

2) Harass someone to cut some of the pics so you have a uniform background. That's more an aesthetic thing..but it's kinda odd to see such well known faces playing other characters. It might be easier if there was a consistent look. There are a billion cuts on these board...someone's gotta be willing to help you do a DV pic pack.

Again...it's a very unique dynasty. Hope you keep at it. Just my two cents.

They brawled into the corner, where Warlord gave T a boot choke, stopping at four. Warlord stomped T down in the corner and applied another boot choke, again stopping at four. Warlord picked T up and went for the Keldon Burial, but T hit several forearms to the back and then plants him with a front-layout superplex for a two-count.

High Incident Match
Jimmy Dragon (c) vs. "The Real Deal" Scott Ericson

Scott Ericson attacked Jimmy Dragon before the bell on the floor! Ericson gets booed as Ericson hammered away on Dragon until he was close the the edge of the stage. Ericson went to send Dragon off the stage with a clothesline, but Dragon countered with a spike belly-to-belly suplex off the stage. Dragon went after Ericson and grabbed him, pulling him toward the ring. Ericson tried fighting back, but Dragon pacified him with forearms to the back. Ericson tossed Dragon into the ring steps. Ericson then pulled Dragon up and whipped him into the ring post. Ericson started climbing the scaffolding. Dragon followed him. As Dragon reached the top, Ericson punched him several times, trying to knock him off through the tables below. Dragon hung on to the chains suspending the scaffold, and Ericson stomped him down. Dragon fought to his feet and started brawling with Ericson, coming back with some hard kicks. Dragon hit a belly-to-belly suplex. Dragon tried to kick him off the scaffold, but Ericson hung on and dragged Dragon down by his feet.

Dragon gave Ericson a series of forearms, but Ericson still got to his feet. He gave Dragon a kick to the midsection. Ericson went for the Sealing the Deal, but Dragon blocked it. Ericson went for a clothesline, but Dragon caught him with the Dragon Hammer. Dragon tried to kick him off the scaffold again, but Ericson grabbed him by the legs and dragged him down. Ericson climbed on top of Dragon and started hammering him, but Dragon swept Ericson and got on his back. Dragon slammed Ericson's face on the scaffold several times. Ericson was busted open! Dragon tried to roll Ericson off the scaffold, but Ericson grabbed him by the throat and got to his feet. Ericson tried to choke slam Dragon off the scaffold, but Dragon hit several elbows to the head to break his grip. Dragon then hit a reverse Russian legsweep. Dragon locked Ericson in the Final Countdown, trying to make him pass out. Ericson tried to break the hold, but Dragon had it locked in tight. Dragon kept putting more strength into the hold, but Ericson was still fighting. Finally, it looked like Ericson had passed out.

Dragon pulled Ericson up, and he hit a low blow. Dragon was staggered, but he still managed to fight off a series of punches.

Random Extreme Warfare Fun Facts


Team IWF and The Light Warriors were originally slated to win their matches, but I changed the outcomes at the last second as a result of the predictions, as they made me reconsider the ramifications of the two matches.
Yes, the main event was a 25-minute-long Slow Build Scaffold Match that is a Match Of The Year candidate.
Big Kahuna, Brandon Harwell, and Scott Ericson all took Crazy Bumps in High Injury matches, and none of them got injured.
As a result of The Keldon Warlord's Domination road agent note in his match, he now has so much popularity that he refuses to job to almost anyone.
The Dangerous Alliance vs. Team IWF got a massive 92 rating despite all the members of The Dangerous Alliance having under 70 popularity, except for Rob Van Dam, who had 72.
On the same token, The Dynasty vs. Team Harwell got only a 90, despite everyone in the match having over 75 popularity, with several over 90.
Jimmy Dragon, as of the end of Extreme Warfare, has 100 popularity throughout the USA, Canada, and Japan, as well as a 99 in Northern Mexico and 92 in the other two regions of Mexico. I'm glad he's signed to a five-year deal.

Extreme Fallout



http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/KateAvatar.jpg

I was getting ready for Monday Night Fights. Extreme Warfare 2002 was a great show and a great success, and I was riding high on the gravy train because we actually made a decent amount of money in September. Things were looking up, and soon I'd be able to direct some attention to my WCW project. I had new guys just waiting in the wings ready to move up in the world.

That was when I heard a commotion outside. Well, not a commotion, but rather some blatant bragging. I got up and walked to the door and listened.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/AlexDunvegan.jpghttp://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/JerryDunvegan.jpg

"Looks like big brother is finally getting his dues," came Alex Dunvegan's smug voice. I peeked out the door and saw him standing up to Jerry Dunvegan.

"You're dreaming," Jerry retorted. "We all know who the heir to Clan Dunvegan is, and it's not you."

"Well the fans say otherwise," Alex said, nudging Jerry with his fist a little. "I've got more heat than you could ever hope to have. I'm practically propping this entire promotion on my shoudlers. I've got a guaranteed title run, and pretty soon everyone will be lining up to see the man behind the mask."

"We'll see about that," Jerry told him defiantly. "Keep up your dreaming, though. It's nice to have dreams. Enjoy your ride while it lasts. Pretty soon Avatar's gonna see you for what you are and you'll be in midcard hell where you belong."

They almost got into it, and I thought I would have to intervene, but that was when Brandon Harwell showed up and got between them.

"Save it for the ring you two," he told them. "Jerry, you and I know what's what around here. Don't let Alex get to you."

"You're right, bro," Jerry said with a smirk. "I don't have anything to proove."

With that, Alex and Jerry went their separate ways. Brandon was coming toward the office, so I quickly jumped over the desk and landed in my seat and made a big show of looking through the stack of paperwork in front of me. He knocked and walked in.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/BrandonHarwell.jpg

"Got a sec, Kate?" he asked.

"Yeah, and I've been wondering when you'd come see me."

"Look, Josie told me you saw me flirting with her . . ." he said thoughtfully. "I just wanted to tell you . . ."

"Save it," I told him, putting my hand up. "Look, I wanna stay friends, but at least have enough respect for me to end things to my face."

"Fine, you got me," he said, holding his arms out. "I just can't help myself. Too many hot women, not enough of me to go around. If you can't handle that, fine. If you wanna stay friends, fine, I'd like that as well. Just don't get on my back about the way I do things."

"I won't as long as you don't cause any trouble in the locker room," I told him, looking him in the eyes. He ran a hand through his hair and smiled.

"Well it was fun while it lasted, Kate," he said. "I'll see you at the next booking meeting."

I nodded and waved him off, and he left the office. That was finally taken care of. Now that the womanizer was out of my hair, I could focus on more important matters. I had my hands full enough trying to keep Alex Dunvegan and John Sebastian happy, I did not need more problems. The locker room would stay harmonious if it killed me.

I got on the speaker.

"Jimmy, could you come to the office, please?" I called out.

A few minutes later, Jimmy Dragon walked into the office. He was looking incredibly healthy and fit. I seemed to have interrupted him during training.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/JimmyDragon.jpg

"You wanted to see me, Kate-sama?" he asked.

"Yeah, I need your help keeping everyone happy," I said. "You're the heart and soul of this company and you have been since Brandon recruited you back in 1999. Your presence is the greatest asset this company has. That's why you're 'The Franchise'. Still, there's a bit of tension in the locker room because of all the recent contract negotiations and the attitudes that Alex and John have."

"I understand that there are several, um, poisons in the locker room," he agreed. "What exactly would you like me to do?"

"Keep spirits up and do whatever it takes to check their egos," I told him. "Alex especially is gonna be a bigger pain in my ass than Brandon was back when he went all Hollywood on me. Thankfully, he's behind that mask for the time being, so he's not as easily recognizable. Still, he's right that he's over with the fans and has incredible heat. I just don't want him thinking he's calling the shots. I'll put his ass in a sling and knock him down a few pegs myself if I have to."

"I understand, Kate-sama," he said with a nod. "I'll do my best to keep the peace. There will be some difficulty, but I think I can manage."

"Thanks. Oh, and thanks for being willing to help put over Van Dam. I'm glad I can count on at least one person around here to not be a selfish prick."

With that, he bowed to me courteously and left the office. I turned my attention to the stack of papers for real this time and prepared for the next month of work. I had a lot to do. I was adding a new championship to the fold to fill the gap between the World Heavyweight Title and the Television Title, and I needed just the right people to run things with. I nodded as I looked over my booking notes for the next month. Hopefully, things would go over without much trouble.

I was still surprised Joey T was willing to put me over without bitching about it, but I was not about to look a gift horse in the mouth. It was showtime.

Jimmy Dragon sits down for an interview and discusses his upcoming match against John Sebastian. He says there's no doubt that Classic is a legend in the business and is more than a challenge, but that he welcomes any and challenges.

Expanding the Business



http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/KateAvatar.jpg

Japan was an untapped market for us. Sure, we had a television deal over there, but it was not enough for me. We had tried to get on pay-per-view over there, but our product was deemed to violent and extreme. Given that is is Japan we are talking about, that was really something else.

So I needed a way to tap into that market once and for all and give our loyal Japanese viewers a way to watch our pay-per-view events. I wanted it to be ready by A Night To Remember, since it is the biggest event of the year by far. That was why I had the current stack of papers in front of me. There was a knock at my door, and before I could say anything, Doug Dunvegan walked in.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/DougDunvegan.jpg

"I hope I'm not interrupting your work," he said, his Scottish accent thick. "I just wanted to see how things were progressing."

"Things are going very well," I told him with a smile on my face. "The pay-per-view carrier is all set up and ready to go. We'll be working out the details within the next week, and we'll be on pay-per-view in Japan well in time for A Night To Remember. Imperia PPV Japan will be a smashing success if things work out the way I plan."

"I hope you know what you're doing," he said cautiously as he looked down upon me reading and signing the papers. "I've put a lot of trust in you, and you've definitely delivered. I would say your first year has been a very successful one, just as successful as Harwell's work for the last three years. The fresh ideas you two have brought to the table has taken IWF above and beyond my expectations."

"Thank you, Mr. Dunvegan," I replied, blushing.

I signed a few more papers and then arranged them neatly in front of me. There was another knock at the door.

"Come in," I called out. It was Brandon Harwell.

http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/vv40/DreamGoddess666/BrandonHarwell.jpg

"Hey, Doug, Kate," he greeted us. "Mind if I step in?"

"Ah, come on in my boy," Doug said, ushering him inside; Brandon had a bottle of champagne in his hand and two glasses in the other. "I was just telling Kate how proud I am of the work you two have done with IWF over the course of the last year."

"I'm happy to have helped take this company to new levels," Brandon told us with a smirk. "I'm just glad Kate brought me onto the booking committee. I might not have been happy to be cut out completely. I thank you both."

"That's awful humble of you," I commented.

"Look, I may like being on top, but I also love IWF, it's like my baby," he said. "If it needed a mother, I'm fine with that."

I smiled at him, and he set the glasses on my desk.

"Sorry, Doug, I wasn't expecting you to be here," he told Doug. "I was just coming to celebrate a little with Kate for the smashing year we've had and the hopeful success of our biggest event of the year."

"That's quite alright," he said, waving him off. "I just wanted to congratulate Kate myself, but you two can celebrate if you like. I look forward to seeing what you two do with A Night To Remember."

"Speaking of which," I interrupted as he opened the door. "What would you say to a match with Erik Lenton on the big show? A legends match of sorts. An American legend versus a Canadian legend."

"That actually doesn't sound half bad," he responded. "I'll talk to Erik and get back to you on that."

I nodded, and he walked out, closing the door behind him. Not like Brandon and I had anything to hide. He opened the champagne and poured glasses for us both. He brought the glass up, the stem between his fingers, and held it forth.

"To us and to a successful 2002," he declared.

"I'll drink to that," I said, clinking my glass to his and drinking.

There was a tense moment between us then. He leaned over the desk, his face inches from mine, and devlish smiled crept up on his face.

"What would Josie think about this?" I asked him, backing up a little.

"We have an open relationship," he answered with a smirk. "Maybe it could be fun. Maybe the three of us . . ."

"Ugh, that's disgusting you pervert," I told him. "Be happy with Josie and stop pestering me. I told you we can be friends, but enough coming on to me."

"Oh, fine, your loss, or maybe our loss," he said with a wink.

I shook my head and downed the rest of the champagne. It was hard to deal with him sober. He had such an ego and was such a womanizer. It drove me mad. Still, I wanted to be his friend and I wanted to try to make him see the error of his ways. Maybe he was a lost cause, though. He finally downed the rest of his champagne and grabbed the bottle.

"Well I'm gonna go finish this celebration with Josie," he told me with a laugh. "Don't work too hard."

"Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out," I said. "Just be ready for the show. Don't go getting drunk or getting too busy with your girl."

He just laughed, opened the door, and walked out. I thumped my head on the desk and sighed. Maybe there was no hope for him. At least he was a good worker or I would have fired him by now. Either way, it was time to get back to work. I had a show to produce, Windy City Wrestling was finally opening, and I had pay-per-view negotiations to get to. This would be a busy month.

What?! No Kevin Heat or Kid Flash?! Screw this diary!! LOL, of course I am joking and it is nice that you are posting the results for WCW.

I'm still trying to get my roster sorted. A lot of them are making me jack up their salaries on top of PPV bonuses and merchandise percentages. I'm running out of spare money to spend, and close to hitting the hard salary cap on some of my top stars. It's getting hard to manage my roster. That and it's massive so far.

If I hire Kevin Heat, he'll have to spend months in development before he can be called to even WCW (I require 60 in any pertinent skills before I call someone up most of the time). Kid Flash I may just hire soon to buff the WCW roster. I have about 35 for IWF and 25 for WCW. My roster is extremely bloated at the moment.

I sorta lost control when I bought out the HWA and the CWF. I'm also having trouble hiring a few other good people because of my working agreement with the RWA. It's getting hard to manage everything. It's a real mess right now. I'm having a difficult time with it all. Keeping track of everything is getting difficult.

George Foreman announces that, earlier tonight, JohnMan was found beaten bloody backstage and couldn't participate in the match, so his attacker, Alisyn Stormsong, took his place. She looks to take the IWF Hardcore Title back to WCW with her. Big Kahuna overpowers his opponents at first, beating down both Alisyn and Oddball. Oddball grabs Suzie and goes to town on Kahuna, though, busting him open quickly. Alisyn clobbers Oddball from behind and throws him into the barbed wire.

Kahuna retrieves an exploding barbed wire board from the outside and tosses it into the ring. Kahuna takes Oddball to the top turnbuckle and gives him the Hawaii Hurt from the top turnbuckle onto the barbed wire board, which explodes! Oddball kicks out!

He says Harwell is the one who threw their friendship away by betraying IWF and betraying his family. He says that despite the feuds within Clan Dunvegan, they always stand tall against enemies from without. He says as "Emperor", it's his duty to reclaim Clan Dunvegan's honor, and he's going to take out Harwell to do so. Harwell may own IWF now, but it'll be hard for him to run the company from a hospital bed. He says it was too easy to manipulate Harwell's feelings with Josie Hendrix and that it'll be easy to topple his power in the company after tonight.

Brandon Harwell cuts a backstage promo where he says The Dynasty has been causing trouble for fat too long. He says Jerry Dunvegan needs to accept that Clan Dunvegan is no longer on top of IWF. Harwell owns IWF now and that's not going to change, because he will never be provoked into putting his company on the line in a match like Jerry's father did. Harwell says all the Dunvegans are beyond arrogant and needed to be put in their places, and he did exactly that through his plotting. Harwell says he'd rather be friends with Jerry than enemies, but if he wants to try to take IWF away from him, he's gonna have a fight. He says it ends tonight.

vs.
The Dangerous Alliance (Rob E. Dangerously, Justin Sayne, Jon Stevens, and Yukon Jack Daniels)

BakerMan enters the ring and goes to help Climbatize with YJD, not that any help is needed. YJD tries to get back to a vertical base, but is kicked and stomped to the mat. Paco continues dominating Stevens.

Dawson grabs Sayne in a front facelock, and they exchange a chain of moves with Dawson coming out on top with a side headlock before taking him to the mat. Polaris starts working over Sayne's legs, but is kicked off.

Rob E. Dangerously enters the match and attacks Paco. Paco goes after him with a series of punches, but Dangerously manages to wrestle him down. Sayne keeps Dawson busy, and YJD low blows Climbatize. BakerMan hits a running somersault splash on Stevens from one ring to the other and then hits an Asai moonsault. Sayne throws Dawson into the side of the cage, but Dawson counters with a pair of elbows and then hits the Polaris Deathdrop. Climbatize clotheslines YJD, but can't keep him down. Stevens fights back against BakerMan and traps him in the corner, stomping him down. Paco blasts Dangerously with several haymakers, but Dangerously turns and gives him a mule kick, then spins around and drops him with a DDT. Dawson puts Sayne in the Polaris Deathlock. Sayne fights it, but can't break free of the hold. YJD tries to break it up, but is pulled to the mat by Climbatize. Stevens kicks BakerMan in the face and goes after Dawson.

Sayne choke slams Dawson. Climbatize is up and away from YJD, but eats the Shock Therapy from Sayne. Paco submits after 1 minute!

A hype video plays for Jerry Dunvegan's match against Brandon Harwell. It goes over the history between them, starting with Harwell, as Anubis, defeating Doug Dunvegan for control of IWF at Imperial Games. Jerry then assembled The Dynasty to fight against him, while Harwell, Kate Avatar, Steve Liermann, and Felicia Duarte stood against them. The Dynasty won at Extreme Warfare, but Harwell wasn't done with Jerry. They fought more, trading wins and losses, and it culminated in Harwell saving Josie Hendrix from Jerry. She was the one who hit Harwell with a car, though, and she drove a wedge between Harwell and Avatar. Now, after a rough December, it's time to finish the battle once and for all.

A video plays hyping the main event between Jimmy Dragon a John Sebastian. Highlights of Dragon career play, including his previous wins at A Night To Remember over Loki in 1999, Jerry Dunvegan in 2000, and The Keldon Warlord in 2001. Dragon is undefeated at the event, and has won the IWF World Heavyweight Title in two of the three matches. Classic's career, however, is much longer and more glorified, including several runs with the NWA World Heavyweight Title and legendary feuds involving Ric Flair, Doug Dunvegan, and Ramsus Palantiri. This is his first run with the IWF World Hevayweight Title, and losing here would be the shortest championship run of his career. Now they wrestle for pride and for gold.
