QAW Forever: The revolution WILL be televised

In 2008, events were set into motion that would eventually lead to a revolution of sorts. It is said that every fire starts with a single spark and in this instance, the old adage holds true. That spark, in this wise, was a film, a documentary of all things, called 'The Total Package – Women of Wrestling'. The title, dripping with ego (really, women being the total package?), was just provocative enough to garner passing interest, but the writing, ahh, the writing was superb. The world is now at least vaguely familiar with the names Veronica Bedford, Marcy Stuyvesant, and Melanie Florence. While I cannot take full credit for the film's success, I can say I had a part in it. For a film that cost $65 million dollars to produce and grossed $206 million at the box office ($419 million overall, counting DVD sales, broadcast rights, and licensing), it was a business decision only one person could (or would) make.

I am that person.

I green lighted 'TTP'. I signed off on its budget. I own the studio that produced the film. I set those events in motion. But lest you believe me to be some egotistical self-important cad, I will add that I did not do it alone. Nay, I didn't even do the heavy lifting. You see, I approached many people with the ideas I had. I was often patronized and waved off as a dreamer. I was even insulted on one occasion. But there were a handful of people who saw my passion, saw my heart and my fervor, and who, in turn, chose to cast their lot with me. Not all of them had altruistic motives, however. I've spent more than enough time engaged in the cutthroat world of business to believe otherwise. In fact, it has been said on more than one occasion that I have profited from the misery of others. I have been accused of using blood money to finance this venture. In the interest of full disclosure, I will admit to having made millions (perhaps billions, I've never counted) short-selling the stock of several formerly prominent financial institutions. Financial institutions who provided mortgages to people who could not afford them, in an effort to fuel a scheme that proved untenable. I make no apologies for seeing the obvious and profiting when the truth came to light. However, it was passion, not purely financial wherewithal, that piqued the interest of a handful of visionaries.

Victoria Stone, legendary women's wrestler, only daughter of the father of Canadian wrestling, accomplished wrestling promoter and booker, and now, sole owner of the company her father started, North of the Border Pro Wrestling or NOTBPW. I approached her with great trepidation. I guess you would have to be a fan of wrestling in general (not just the tripe SWF produces) to know just how big the Stone family is. Besides producing some of the world's greatest in-ring talents, the family has built arguably one of the three largest promotions in North America, without leaving Canada. However, I knew that Dan Sr. had created a women's division primarily to give his little girl a place to showcase her talent (while staying at home). I also knew that Victoria was tireless in her desire to elevate the status of said division, especially after her retirement from active competition. She was the first to join me in my crusade, and has reaped significant benefits as a result. “The Reluctant Icon” has seen her image grace the covers of publications ranging from PEOPLE to Vanity Fair to Inc. The recent story in Vanity Fair entitled 'The First Family of Wrestling', while drawing the ire of one Richard Eisen, became the most talked about cover in recent memory (featuring Victoria, her husband Sean, daughter Lucy, father Dan Sr,...and all her brothers) and propelled the issue to the title of best selling magazine of the 21st century.

Sam Strong, perhaps the most recognizable professional wrestler in history. Nowadays, he plies his time as owner of United States Pro Wrestling, featuring a family friendly product seemingly ripped from the mid-1980s. Sam Strong, while a savvy businessman who rarely strays from his strengths, is a father. Like most fathers, and Dan Stone in particular, he wants what's best for his little girl. To that end, he followed the lead of the senior Stone and started a women's division in his promotion, to showcase the abilities of his daughter, Alicia. Sparing no expense when she expressed an interest in wrestling professionally, he sent her to train under the greatest women's wrestler of all time, Sensational Ogiwara. As the Sensational One will readily admit, it didn't take much work as young Alicia was a prodigy and capable in every conceivable way. When I approached Sam, I did so appealing to his paternal instincts and desires. It wasn't a tough sell and he signed on immediately, with one condition. He wanted his Alicia featured in the documentary, which we were all too willing to do. As one of the best workers of this generation, it would only make sense. Since then, Alicia has gone on to exceed her father's greatest dreams, filling arenas and appearing in movies and commercials for a slew of companies eager to attach their logos to anything and everything USPW.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SakurakoKagawa_alt.jpg


Sakurako Kagawa, known in some circles as The Lizard Queen, carved a niche in her native Japan that left her competitors bankrupt. As the owner of the most prominent women's promotion (5 Star Supreme Wrestling or 5SSW) in the most storied wrestling area in the world, her accomplishments speak for themselves. A promising young wrestler in her own right before an arm injury put the kibosh on her in-ring career, Kagawa was key for me. Luckily, she saw the writing on the wall and knew that the losses of Ogiwara and Hike could devastate her business. She saw how an upswing in interest could help mitigate those future losses and help her develop another generation of headliners. While they did take a hit when Nana and Tara retired, it wasn't quite as bad as it could have been. The emergence of the long simmering rivalry between DEVIL Karube and former friend & tag partner Yuma Maruya helped lots, along with my pledge to assist her in furthering the development of some of her erstwhile stars. To that end, we share three workers, with the possibility of more in the future.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Byron.jpg


Byron, perhaps the most surprising person on the list, has often been dismissed as a factor due to his looks. But unbeknownst to many, it would appear, he is quite the savvy businessman. In the wake of the collapse of Ultimate Combat Ring, it was Byron who saw the potential for a similar promotion to fill the void. It was Byron who started said promotion (European Wrestling All-Stars, or EWA) and Byron who carried it on his back to levels of success surpassing that of the competing new promotion, Ultimate European Wrestling. However, again in the interest of full disclosure, it was I who arranged for their television contract.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CatherineQuine.jpg


My Cat, Catherine Quine. One of the most recognizable women's wrestlers in the world, as head booker and star of Angel Athletic Association (to some, the only women's promotion in America prior to our debut), she earned my respect years ago for her creativity and in-ring prowess. She earned my admiration by her actions following my presentation to (and subsequent insulting by) AAA owner Anne Stardust. The aftermath of that confrontation led to her firing and the departure of several of the promotion's bigger names. However, it was her vision for a new promotion that hooked me. What's more, it was her choice of booker for said promotion that really showed how well she knew her people. While that new promotion, aptly named Ladies Fighting Championship or LFC, is still new, it is revolutionary in its schedule (touring the United States, with four shows a week and three tours of three month duration per year), and its product represents everything Cat wanted AAA to be but wasn't allowed to actually create.

And finally....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HoneyGolightly_alt1.jpg


Honey Golightly, the owner of erstwhile “wrestling” promotion Babes of Sin City. Based in Las Vegas, there was much glitz and glamor that came part and parcel of a BSC show. Far be it from me to fail to mention, there was also a lot of skin that came part and parcel of a BSC show. However, Honey saw the writing on the wall and felt changes were needed to take her little venture to the proverbial next level. But these weren't changes she could really afford to make while still running in the black. To that end, she signed on to sell me a controlling interest in her promotion but insisted on a lifetime contract and total control over the promotion. In turn, I countered with a demand for a change of head booker since I believed Marilyn Stardust was not the person to take the promotion higher. It was no slight to Marilyn, who I respect greatly as a fount of wrestling and down home wisdom, but the promotion needed to move away from her area of strength. We agreed on Jen Neptune, who we both agreed is a creative mind and nimble enough in her thinking to take full advantage of BSC's strengths. Granted, my motives weren't altogether altruistic either since I had plans for her sister Kathy, but by the twins' own admission, Jen is the more creative of the two.

Every movement needs leaders and every revolution needs catalysts. My first six embody that mantra. But every revolution also needs an army and I'd pit mine against any of history's best and feel good about our chances.....

[Remianen]

My army was assembled far more quickly than I anticipated or planned for. Surprised? No one keeps a standing army at full strength unless war is brewing. No, my army is composed both of hardened veterans seeking their due and new recruits who hunger for the opportunity to prove their worth. All will have their mettle tested, their resolve ignited within the flames of the soulforge. But in the end, all will be vindicated and will punish those shortsighted enough to dismiss them out of hand.

This movement is predicated on equality. The overriding question asked should be 'why?'. Why can women not perform as well as their male counterparts? Why can women not accomplish things that men do and have? Is it due to lack of talent...or lack of opportunity? I believe it to be the latter and will set out to prove it as perhaps the only organization built and designed to provide opportunities heretofore never given to the fairer sex. I will accomplish this goal utilizing a product that holds traditional wrestling with a modern bent with mainstream appeal as key to our strategy. Beyond that, we will also employ medium levels of daredevil tactics, lucha libre concepts, and stoic realism to delight our fanbase.

November 26th, 2009 – Markham, Ontario, Canada

“No. Just....no.”

“But...”

“No.”

I came here to secure the services of one particularly promising young worker. I knew it would be difficult because she's young and her father is notoriously stubborn. But most of my recruits are young and this one, well, this one has chops.

“Why not? Are you going to relegate her to working for someplace like Triple-A or bouncing around the indies or worse, becoming a valet for some nobody with less talent between the ropes than she has?”

“No.”

“Why wouldn't I be interested? She's talented but more than that, she's intelligent, tenacious, and one helluva hard worker. Just like her pa.”

“Flattery won't get you....”

“It's only flattery if it's not true. Besides, she's beautiful too but I wouldn't attribute that to her pa.”

Finally a smile out of the grizzled vet. “Naw, that's all her mom, that. Stubborn like her ma too.”

“Um, I can't imagine her getting that trait from anyone but you....”

“You haven't met my wife.”, he says with a chuckle.

“Daddy?”, a voice says hesitantly. “I want to do this. Tayla's going....”

“Tayla is 18 years old, an adult. You....”

“Ah, I think a misunderstanding's been made here.”

“What're you on about, ey?”

“You see, I didn't come here for her....”

“What? But you said...”

“No, I came here....for both of you.”

“What?”

“I came for both of you. Y'see, you both have skills I have use for. So, I came here with the intention of signing both of you up.”

“So you want to try to pay me off so you can have my girl?”

“Absolutely not! You're going to work too, just not necessarily in the ring. Look, you've been in this business a long, long, long, long...”

“Enough already, I get the picture...”

“...long time. Your experience is invaluable. You know how to structure a match, how to work the stick, how to interact with crowds. All of those things are valuable to me, especially if you can teach them to others, which you've proven you can.”

“Okay, but I want some kind of creative control.”

“Never happen. Think about it. We have people who have been in this business 10 years. Put yourself in their shoes for a minute. They've been toiling, trying to work their way up and some rookie....”

“...comes in and is handed the most valuable contract clause in the business. Yeah, I've seen that happen. It's bull****.”

“I can't promise you CC but I will run things by you before they happen to get your take. How's that?”

“Close enough. Alright, assuming the numbers match up, you've got a deal. And I want college for her.”

“You are a very wise man....”

“...Eric Tyler.”

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BrookeTyler.jpg
“Okay, I think I missed something. Does this mean I can go?”

“Yeah, this means we're going to, what is it, Houston, once the paperwork is completed.”

“YES! THANK YOU, DA! I gotta tell Tay! We've gotta get outfits and gimmicks and a name...”

“Yes and no and no. The outfits are all on you. We do have a designer inhouse for you to work with. But your gimmick and name, I had an idea for. How about....”

“Yeah, I know. Wife says summat about wings spreading and flying and leaving the nest and stuff...yeah, I understand. But if you're goin' too, I feel a lot better about things. Hey, you hear about their gimmick? I didn't realize you and me were so big, ha! Yeah, look I really appreciate it. You taught her real good and I'll definitely be watchin'.”

Just then, a young woman walks in seemingly talking to herself. “I like it too! I mean, I hope I don't freeze up on television. That would be so uncool. I know, right? Dad's takin' me to the airport now, B. I'll see ya in a bit.”

“I will never get used to that greenthumb thing....”

“Dad, it's Bluetooth, not green thumb.”

“Yeah, whatever. Just don't like to see people talkin' to theyself. You all packed up?”

“Yep! Just this one here.”

“One bag? You plannin' to be back here next weekend? Where're your clothes?”

“Well, we were told we'd be fitted for new gear by the wardrobe department so I can leave my gear here. Besides, we'll have our own place soon so if I need anything, I know how to find the mall!”

“Don't I know it! Which terminal are we goin' to?”

“Private”

“Never heard o' that airline....”

“Private jet, Dad. It's not commercial.”

“Wait, so now you're some kinna limousine riding, jet flyin'....”

“Dad, that is SO old school!”

“Okay okay, but what about yur gimmick? You okay wit it?”

“Are you kidding? I LOVE IT! “The American Dream” Tayla Martin, has such an awesome ring to it!”

Damn straight EWA surpassed UEW!

Anywho, I'll be following this. Nothing like a mega-women's promotion.

And some dick already 1 starred you. Jealous they are. I'll help remedy it.

I've never gotten into womens wrestling and believe me I have tried, but you have hooked me so far....here's hoping I stay that way.

Mission Viejo, CA – October 2009


I came here ostensibly to catch a show I probably would have otherwise missed. However, my eyes and ears and everywhere and one of them told me I should stick around and have a word with a worker who played a part in the show last night. So here I am, in one of those cramped, stuffy spaces so beloved by independent promotions. Affectionately known as The Snake Pit, it's almost a headquarters for Coastal Zone Championship Wrestling. My information leads me to believe my contact often works as a trainer at the promotion's school, known in wrestling circles as the Coastal Resort (ironic name, that).


“Bird Man! Can I holla at you a sec?”


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MattSparrow.jpg


As the young man turns to look at me, shakes his head and looks again before turning to walk toward me, I can't help but see a resemblance between his actions and that of a pigeon. I shake off the image, as amusing as it is, and concentrate on the task at hand. Matt Sparrow, beloved by the IWC as one of the first blogging pro wrestlers as well as a pretty solid in-ring competitor, is my target. I was told he has somewhat of a secret that I might be able to get him to divulge.


“You? What're you doing here? You're starting that new promot....ohhhh.”


Nodding, I cut to the chase. “I'm told you might be able to help me in that respect?”


“I dunno. I mean, word is you have people like J.Ro and Brazzle and Mexi and Grace and Cat Quine. I can't help you with folks like that.”


“Rome wasn't built in a day. From what I hear, you have a talent on your hands who could eventually be on that level. The people you mention have, at most, ten years left performing at their peak level. My plans go well beyond that time frame.”


“Yeah, and learning from those girls would definitely help a lot. Okay, lemme call her and set something up. Tomorrow okay?”


“Tomorrow's fine. I have a few people with me she can work with. I'm at the Ivy downtown. There's a gym close by that we're using. I'll send you the location.”


The next day saw another piece to the puzzle fall right into place. Not only did I find another young worker to develop, but I noticed an epic program developing right before my very eyes.


“Matt, you say she was your manager?”


“Erm, “manager” is a bit much. She was more of a valet. I mean, look at her. If her mic work matched her looks, she'd be Emma Chase.”


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MartinaBaker.jpg


The worker in question, Martina Baker, was indeed a looker. With a striking resemblance to an old matinee idol, she went with that and earned a passable living as an impersonator. And while she didn't tear down the house with her ring work, she seemed to listen and improve every time she was given advice by those she was working with. Indeed, she seemed to definitely 'click' with the worker she was paired up with.


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MegumiNakajima.jpg


Granted, it's hard to look bad when you're in the ring with a young prodigy like Megumi Nakajima, but it was more than that. In fact, Meg would tell me later “We do good together” in her rapidly improving but still halting English. I got the same impression watching them. I bounced an idea off the four of them which overwhelmed Martina but got a unanimous thumbs up from the veterans. Once the names were figured out, I had a new tag team AND what could possibly be one of the hottest programs in my yet-to-start promotion...in a few years.

Miami Beach, Florida - September 2009

6am and I'm on a plane after hours of watching audition/scouting footage of prospective workers. Why am I on a plane? Because a woman hit my cellphone with one phrase: "I want you to see someone". But it wasn't just any woman:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CatherineQuine-1.jpg

When my Cat says that, I'm on the first thing smokin'. She's been spending the days since the LFC announcement unearthing young talent to fill her roster. When she first decided on Miami, I gave her the use of my house on the water. I'm rarely in town and when I am, I prefer to stay at my Dad's old place in Opa-Locka. Besides, the shore place is such a high gloss design, it fits Cat and projects an image I think would be beneficial (perception being reality and all). Renowned as a promoter and marketer, Cat has already made the rounds of local radio and I hear there's a spread in South Beach Design magazine revolving around her and the house. This, is good.

I get to the gym and even at 10am, the place is a hive of activity. There are two rings set up, nicely spaced. In one rather worn looking ring, a man in full gear is holding court, giving instructions to six women. He sees me come in, tells them something, and leaves the ring, walking toward me. The women immediately burst into motion, apparently practicing the 'slide out of the ring and land on your feet' surprise spot.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/TheNatural.jpg

"Natch! Fancy meeting you here," I said with a smirk.

"Yeah right, a chance to rehab on the beach and help my girl at the same time? Let's see, Halifax or Miami Beach, boy that's a toughie, ey?"

"Speaking of which, how is rehab coming along?"

"Almost 100%. I go back next week. Sean was here few days ago, I'm workin' my return program with 'im. 'Course, I think he just wanted an excuse to hit the beach."

"Can you blame him? Now, what do you know about the girl Cat wants me to see?"

"Girl? Ah Remi, you'll learn soon enough. She wouldn't call you out here for just one girl."

* * *

The Cat makes her entrance surrounded by young girls who she is seemingly explaining match psychology and method to. Just for fun, I shout "Hey booker lady, I have a problem with my push." Reflexively, she turns and starts in on what must be a speech she's made several times already. I interrupt her midstream and say, "I wasn't talking to you. I was talking to her", pointing at another young woman, smartly dressed in a crushed linen pantsuit.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SaraMarieYork_alt.jpg

This gets a wide grin from Sara Marie York while Cat blinks twice and smirks.

"Bastard. Come on, I want you to meet some of my girls...", to which "The Natural" Damian Carville nodded in my direction when I glanced over at him.

* * *

"You signed an announcer?"

"I heard her on one of the smaller stations here and I knew. I just knew. She was the intern for some wannabe shock jock, and often the butt of his jokes, sometimes literally. But she's beautiful and she's definitely got talent so I brought her in. You'll see. We'll do an exhibition match and you can do color with her. Seemi, get your gear on."

"Seemi?"

"It's the name Lucy gave to Sara Marie at the photo shoot. Just kinda stuck."

"I see."

Formal introductions were made while Seemi changed and as I met everyone, there was one woman I vaguely recognized. Seemi came out and two of the girls joined her and Cat as they went over match strategy before they were joined by another young woman who had donned a referee shirt. I sat down at the desk where I was joined by a rather stunning blond with distinctive latin features.

"Hi, I'm Mallory. I work face," she said, with a distinctive Spanish lilt I tried to place. Dominican? Cuban? Shaking myself out of my reverie, I responded, "Okay, I'll work heel."

Catherine Quine & Diamond Steel vs Sara Marie York & Elyssa Anderson

Following a quite spirited exhibition, I came away having learned a few things. First, Cat & Seemi can make anyone look really good. Second, Elyssa Anderson, while raw, is going to be huge if we handle her right. And right now, she's in great hands. Third, Diamond fits Cat's nouveau sports entertainment product perhaps a bit too well. I may not be able to call her up. But that three point stance finisher could only work in a sports entertainment promotion. She'd need something like a sheer drop brainbuster in the Q. And last but not least, LFC is going to make us a whole lotta money. It's the perfect simple alternative to the big promotion, with just enough of an edge (and far younger and more promising workers) to make AAA look like just what it is, old fashioned and tired. Oh, and that Mallory has a future (and not just behind her). Give her a year to get comfortable and she could be working alongside Stacy.

[ShadowedFlames]

Diamond and Elyssa?

Methinks I'm going to like where this is going....

[cappyboy]

Methinks I'm going to like where this is going....

Methinks yer not alone. I'm digging the fact that the character I struggled quite possibly the most with is getting such early love as well. I'm very much looking forward to seeing how Martina holds up to being "sought and destroyed." Naturally, I have my fingers crossed for her.

An Interview with Anne Stardust
AAA owner blasts defectors, QAW

In an interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, AAA owner Anne Stardust opens fire with both barrels at multiple targets including former booker Catherine Quine, Joanne Rodriguez, Suzanne Brazzle, Grace Harper, and Jaime Quine, NOTBPW owner Victoria Stone, as well as taking multiple shots at soon to open QAW and its assumed owner, Remianen Valorian. An excerpt, after the jump...

SP-I: Given the relatively high profile split between you and former booker and main event stalwart Catherine Quine, it appears AAA has slowed down somewhat. Reports indicate attendance is down....

AS: Those reports are pure fiction. Our attendances have been the same as they were previously. We still sell out the arenas on a monthly basis. Despite what the turncoats might have you believe, AAA has always been focused on promoting from within. This just gives us an opportunity to do what we've always done. You must remember, Catherine Quine was a rookie here at one time before she rose to her previous heights and then fell to the depth she currently resides in.

SP-I: Depth? It would seem Ms Quine has risen higher than she had previously, being the owner of a new promotion with seemingly endless resources.

AS: She's a puppet. Always has been, always will be. She did what I told her to do before and now, she does what some snake oil salesman tells her to do. That, in short, is Cat.

SP-I: You mentioned AAA has always promoted from within. How do you intend to do that when, among the workers who departed, were seemingly most of the young talent you had been developing? Women like Missy Masterson and Wendy Anderson and Jaime Quine and the former Katherine Goodlooks, as well as recent signee Zoe Ammis?

AS: This business has always been full of transient workers. This is no different. Some workers will chase empty promises to their miserable end, just like every other segment of the entertainment industry. The workers that remain are those who are intelligent and astute, who realize that what sounds too good to be true, always is.

SP-I: According to several sources, it seems AAA has been slow to respond to the increased interest in women's wrestling. Is that true and how do you plan to capitalize on this phenomena?

AS: I agree with Richard Eisen. This uptick in interest is temporary. As he said, by this time next year, no one will be talking about women's wrestling like they are now. The Stones will return to the frozen north, where people actually care about them. Sam Strong's daughter will stop exposing herself in music videos. And people will wonder what happened to the flash in the pan that was supposed to lead a revolution. So what good would it do us to try to hitch our wagon to a falling star? We will do what we have always done: entertain our fans with the best women's wrestling entertainment in North America.

SP-I: Can you address the rumors swirling about a possible promotional war developing between AAA and the new QAW promotion?

AS: In order to have a war, you must have at least two participants who are somewhat equal. This new promotion hasn't yet proven anything. AAA has a long, storied history of excellence. The new promotion hasn't even held an event yet. All they have is hype, they haven't proven anything.

SP-I: Well, that may be true. But all indications point to the new, unproven promotion securing broadcast contracts from all over the world. Has AAA ever moved into the television arena?

AS: TV is good for promotions large enough to support it. However, at our current size, television would be far too costly a venture to pursue. I would say television with such a concentrated fanbase would be a swift road to ruin. This is one reason why I believe the new promotion won't last very long.

SP-I: Any final words?

AS: Yes. I would like to thank the Angel Athletic fans for their support during this trying and uncertain time. I would also like to assure them that unlike those who wish to pass off brothel workers as wrestlers or wish to promote the Over the Hill Gang as some kind of "new" thing, Angel Athletic will continue to produce shows they can be proud of. Our product is family friendly and we welcome fans of all ages to attend, as our workers are, as always, fine role models for our children, boys and girls. Don't be fooled: AAA are the initials of the premier women's wrestling entertainment promotion in North America.

SP-I: Thank you for your time, Ms Stardust.UPDATE

Shortly after the above interview was published, a statement was released by Queens of American Wrestling:

"It is unfortunate that the standard bearer for women's wrestling in North America has chosen to sully its image by making unprovoked attacks on QAW in the press. At this time, we have chosen not to respond directly to these malicious and libelous remarks and instead, let the quality of our shows do the talking for us.

However, legal recourse on behalf of, and in conjunction with, our aggrieved contracted talent and subsidiary entities who were slandered in the article, is still under consideration."

The young woman awoke with a start at a subdued bark. Noticing she now had an audience of one as she let her various aches drain away into the warm embrace of her jetted bathtub, she shot an inquisitive glance at her intruder. Benny, the purebred Beagle pup, barely three months old now, a gift from her benefactor, gave a more forceful bark, spun around twice, and headed across the room to the bedroom.

“You always get your way, don't you?” the young woman muttered as she lifted her svelte figure from the tub, shutting off the jets as she left the soothing embrace of the water. Grabbing a towel to dry off, she made a face into the mirror as she looked at her close cropped raven hair. Another bark is followed seconds later by the phone ringing.

Leaving the bathroom, she asks, "Caller?", to which a neutral male voice replies, "Maribelle Office". Sighing, the young woman responds, "Answer call".

"He's here." is piped through the flat's sound system before the connection is abruptly ended. Nodding down at Benny, she headed to her bedroom to get dressed. On the way, Laura "Miss Information" McKenna wondered if her mentor, the aptly named British Samurai, ever got nervous before meeting his primary investors. Smiling inwardly, she dismissed the thought. Robert Brown had never had anyone invest as much in him and his dream as her benefactor had invested in hers.

* * *


Hours later, in the conference room of the appropriately named CWS Center, a former card parlor converted into a venue for wrestling, the post-show recap was being done. The young woman sat antsy as, while the show came off excellently with the audience, one member of said audience's opinion was far more valued. Her fledgling Catch Wrestling Society's very existence was as a result of his actions and investment and it was a fact she was keenly aware of.

"I like what you've done with the roster."

Nodding, she looked around the room at her assembled staff.

Jeanette Reinhardt, former wrestler turned backstage maven. Introduced a year ago, she had grown to be a trusted confidante and one helluva booker with an uncanny ability to create matches and matchups that far exceed expectation.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AlphaFemale.jpg

Vera "Alpha Female" Grimm, the worker who took a rookie Laura McKenna under her wing and protected her from the typical backstage backbiting all those years ago in UCR. While rapidly approaching the end of her in-ring career, Vera's insight and in-ring wisdom has been invaluable in these early days.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CarolSinger.jpg

Carol Singer, an Aussie worker whose in-ring gifts had not been fully realized until she spent several months working with the likes of the Magic Three and other members of the QAW roster. While ostensibly awaiting a call up to the parent promotion, she has embraced her role as a trainer for the young, green, but unmistakably talented members of the CWS roster.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EvaBerlin.jpg

Eva Berlin, the multitalented German export who cultivates a rough exterior that belies her generous nature. Recently frustrated by her inability to teach the young girls how to work stiffer, should the need to do so arise, her training methods have been a revelation.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SpeedyMarie.jpg

"Speedy" Marie Chambord is a unique case. Her reputation as a locker room cancer left her on the outside looking in when UCR closed and UEW and EWA opened. But that was a front, maintained to protect her from being hurt by betrayals so common in this business. When called and advised of terms, she was more than willing to sign on and be herself.

"Thank you. We've definitely been able to put on some excellent shows so far."

"I'm curious about some of your choices. There are some that I'm going to have a lot of difficulty keeping down here. Tell me about Victoria Lancaster."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VictoriaLancaster.jpg
"Funny story, that. When word got out that I was starting a promotion, Samurai told me that someone was trying to reach me. Imagine my surprise when Donny Damage of all people, turned out to be that person. He said he was training someone named Vic and wanted me to come and see. I tried to bugger off but my curiosity got the best of me. I go into his sweaty gym and find out that 'Vic' was 'Victoria'! I thought it was a bloke he was talkin' about!"

Jeanette pipes up with, "She can do it all, though she prefers to keep it on the ground. No surprise, that, given her trainer."

"True, true. So, what's this I hear about Indigo Rose?"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/IndigoRose.jpg

"She doesn't fly."

"What? Of course she does! She does that moons....ohhhh, that."

"Aerophobic. Doesn't like planes."

"That restricts us to April for any possible callup."

"April?"

"Repositioning season. It's when the cruise ships that ply the Isles and Mediterranean during the winter, move back to North America. The smaller ones go through the Canal to Alaska while the megaships do the Caribbean for the summer then Canada and Bermuda for the fall."

"Heh," Vera chuckles. "Long way to go before she's ready for the big show."

"You are correct, Frau Grimm. She shows promise but she's still got a ways to go yet. Hopefully you ladies can accelerate the process somewhat?"

"Not too much. It would appear the mother promotion's roster is full to bursting, no?"

*sighs* "This is true. But I figure anyone we call up will spend a few months on Livewire, becoming familiar with the fans. What about Janet Grey?"

"Excellent prospect. She's my personal project. Still really green and absolutely terrified of a microphone, but she'll get better."

"And Isabella Lambert? She looks really good! I'm hopin' I'll have something good to tell the Lambertis when the San Gennaro festival rolls around."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/IsabellaLambert.jpg

"Here's the thing with Bella. She's good and she knows it. Solid in the ring and magic on the mic. But more than that, she acts like she's always got something to prove. Her work ethic is off the charts."

"She needs to learn how to work in a more controlled manner though. Sometimes, she'll be so focused on the next sequence in the script that she'll no sell without intending to."

"No worries. She'll be here a while. I'm thinking of her and Rose as a tag team, at least temporarily. They're both Italian, right?"

"Ja."

"No worries, Laura. You've got quite the operation here. I'll let you know that the first worker I call up from you will be Thea. But now, I need the full rundown on the Irish lass....."

[ShadowedFlames]

Like the pic for Rose...that's the sort of image I could see with her. I had imagined her with a rose-theme facial drawing, but I like the end result (and also the nod at the background). Never thought to think of a cruise ship to bring her across the pond...well played, sir.

[Remianen]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GobNarfi.jpg

"Told you."

"Not this again..."

"I did though."

"Look Jimmy, I appreciate your encouragement but you don't have to keep reminding me."

"It's funny..."

"What is?"

"How things turned out. Who would've guessed you would stop being stubborn at just the time women's wrestling got popular?"

"Yeah, that is kinda funny. I just figured it was a way to beat up on my big brother."

"*laughs* It happened ONE TIME."

"I gave in and listened to you ONE TIME and how many times have I been reminded of it?"

"Well played. So when are you coming out?"

"Um, that's what I wanted to tell you. I hope you won't be mad."

"Well? Spill it!"

"I, um, I kinda made the main roster."

"Are you serious?"

"Look Jimmy, I didn't...."

"That is OUTSTANDING!"

"...mean to, what?"

"You're gonna be on TV all over the world, girl! That's great!"

"I...but....you're not upset?"

"Mini pie, I'm not one of your friends to get jealous over anything good that happens to you. I'm your brother. Remember back in Jozi when we were coming up, we always dreamed of getting on the tele? You always thought you would get there by singing and dancing and I wanted to be the next Rip Chord, because Sam Strong was weak. Now things have changed but you got there!"

"Thanks, Jimmy. I dunno why I thought you'd be mad at me."

"Probably for the same reason I thought you'd get sent down for development. I guess I only think of lady wrestlers as those types who can't wrestle but look great in a bikini. Like the bird in EWA. Ann something?"

"Anna Ki. I've met her. And I'll have you know I look awesome in a bikini, thank you very much. You'll see!"

"Ugh, I'd rather not. I hope they plan to let you actually wrestle."

"Meh, if Ogiwara and Hike had their way, that's all we'd be doing. I'm sore just from thinkin' about it."

"Good, good. Look, I gotta go here soon, have to get to the arena for the show. Samurai's a nice enough chap, a bit stern, and he runs a tight ship. We have to be onsite three hours before the show starts."

"Yeah, our first show isn't for a few weeks yet but I'm hearing we have rules like that too. No drugs, no smoking, no alcohol, have to be in the arena three hours before the show and stay til the end. I don't think it'll be so bad though since the massage line'll probably be long."

"Massage line? You guys get massages?"

"Yep, this place is first class. Much better than the places we've worked before. Hot & cold jacuzzi tubs, massages, chiropractor and a couple other doctors (I think one's a muscle doctor), sauna. They finished the first arena a couple weeks ago, ahead of schedule. That place is a dream!"

"I'll come out and see it sometime. But right now, I gotta get on the road. I'll call you tomorrow, Mini pie. And make sure you don't embarrass us on TV!"

"No promises, Jimmy. I'm scared to death! But you have a good show, and make sure you WIN!"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/LadyCaramel_alt1.jpg

And with that, the young woman named Carmella Griffin, put down her cell phone and pondered what her brother James, perhaps better known (or not) as Gob Narfi, had said. She recalled singing and dancing in the mirror, running around the dirt roads of her neighborhood on the outskirts of Johannesburg in her native South Africa, and dreaming of stardom. Well, now she had her chance and she was intent to take full advantage of it.

Pulling the folder from Creative toward her, she went over the details of her character, Lady Caramel. She wondered if it was customary for promotions to actually ask workers for input and feedback on their characters. She had never heard of it but then again, she had never worked in any venues that even approached the size of the arena she was expected to perform in. She tried to imagine what it would feel like to be in front of a crowd in there. No need to imagine, she'd know for sure within a few weeks.

Grabbing her earbuds, she started to go through the suggestions for her entrance music (just as the very idea of her having her own entrance music hit her), singing along to the song:

"You can say I'm Plain Jane, but it's not the same...."

The wait is almost over.

On the final day of November, before the end of a decade, bear witness to the birth of a revolution.

The seed planted over two years ago, finally bears its fruit.

On Sunday, Week 4 November 2009, from the new QAW Arena in Houston, Texas, Queens of American Wrestling, in association with Ladies Fighting Championship, Catch Wrestling Society, Lucha Libre Extreme, Babes of Sin City, Women of Texas Wrestling, Canadian Women's Wrestling Federation, WINNOW: Japanese Women's Wrestling, and Perth Wrestling Commission is proud to bring you....

"I'm afraid that after this show, I'll have to sever our relationship."

For once taken aback, but not totally surprised, I had to confirm my suspicions, "And why is that?"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SamStrong.jpg

The inimitable Sam Strong, nothing if not an astute businessman, probably had issues he wasn't exactly comfortable with driving this decision.

"Listen brother, this isn't something I just woke up and decided to do. But I have a locker room festering with jealousy and envy that I have to consider. My little girl means the world to me, but there are too many people who think the women's division is the only part of our product that's being promoted."

"Ah, so "the boys" are upset that the little ladies are gettin' some shine, eh? Well Sam, I know I can't change your mind. But do keep in mind that Alicia is popular enough to carry your entire promotion on her back. That's not even mentioning how skilled she is in the ring. The downside of that is she's also popular, beautiful, and talented enough to be highly sought after in other areas of entertainment. Should she decide to take a sabbatical from wrestling to, oh I dunno, go film a movie, you're going to need "names" to come in to fill the void until you bring Belle or Sheri up to stand in for her."

"I know what you're implying brother, and I know all that. I'm close to retiring and Alicia knows that so she knows her window of opportunity to do other things is rapidly closing. It's no secret I'm going to hand the reins of USPW to her when I go. And if she wants to reinstate the agreement, I hope you won't hold my decision against her."

"I don't hold grudges...."

Sam snorts.

"...much. I certainly hold no ill will towards you or Alicia. I understand. You have a powder keg of egos in your locker room. This has to be done to keep the peace, or some semblance of such. I get that. I can only hope that after our launch event, you go to bed every night regretting this decision."

"Brother, I think I started regretting it around the same time I decided to go through with it. Those girls work their asses off, and never complain. They work cheap too, relatively speaking."

* * *

"Have you seen these numbers???"

I couldn't help but groan as my office door swung open and through it waltzed Kenneth Biederman III from Accounting.

"I signed off on them, didn't I?", I replied with more than a little bit of an edge in my voice. That gave him pause and it was obvious he spent a few moments considering his response.

"I...I just wondered if they were correct, you see. I understand this is a passion of yours. I too can be passionate about certain things..."

"Like?"

"Well, bird watching for one. I enjoy that a great deal. Table tennis is another. And I tend to work up quite a sweat playing badminton, which I enjoy as well..."

Trying desperately not to roll my eyes, I make a hand gesture beckoning him to continue.

"I have to ask, are these profit projections realistic?"

"I believe they are. However, they are a bit....optimistic, with good reason. I'm running this venture personally and I have no doubt of my own ability to manage it."

"The licensing fees for the music seem exploitive..."

"They would be if they weren't a total for all the major labels. Look at the break-out."

"Hmm. Well, I don't want to be presumptuous..."

"Then don't be. Now, will there be anything else?"

Keenly aware of the edge that had creeped into my tone, he quietly replied, "No, I guess not, since I guess these payroll numbers are approved as well?"

"They are."

"Well then, just being thorough, you understand."

"Completely."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ClareSouth.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EmmaBitch.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VivJacobs.jpg
As he turned to leave, I heard a smattering of poorly contained titters and giggles coming from the waiting area. As Kenneth walked out, he passed my next scheduled appointment. In the process of sidestepping out of Emma Bitch's way, he walked headlong into the rather ample bosom of Viv Jacobs as Clare South slid past them. Slowly looking up, he excused himself and hurried away.

"Accounting?", queried Emma.

"Yeah..."

"That was hilarious," boomed Viv, plopping into a recliner.

"Well, some people don't understand that when I say 'first class all the way', I'm not joking around. Now, about you three..."

The hits keep comin' as the fans of QAW get an opportunity to see the future of women's wrestling. The following matches will be presented at Genesis as a way to give the fanbase a sneak peek at the future stars of QAW!

The LLX Reina de Reinas title is on the line as Miss Mexico takes on La Cazadora. Can the young upstart, reputedly the niece of international legend Pablo Rodriguez and trained in the wide variety of styles that only "McFly Mk II" Gino Montero could, defeat the wily veteran of Tampico? Who will emerge the first champion of Lucha Libre Extreme?

The LFC World title is on the line as Catherine Quine defends against former champion Sara Marie York AND Susan Lee AND newcomer Elyssa Anderson. Apparently Ms Quine won the title via some sort of chicanery so it remains to be seen how she'll fare when facing not only her nemesis but the always dangerous powerhouse in Lee and the young promising Anderson.

On the biggest stage of 'em all, resident rock star and CWWF World champion Eve Grunge, the self-proclaimed 'Greatest Show on Earth', defends her title against young masked enigma, Sterling Silver.

The Trueheart of WINNOW title is on the line as Saeko Hiroyuki, Tsuki Kawamata, Yoko Ikina, and Lioness Mushashibo clash in a match under fatal four way rules. While youth is firmly on the side of Kawamata and Ikina, the veteran guile of Mushashibo and especially the crafty Hiroyuki, should not be discounted in this matchup.

The match that features the WINNOW debut of Gemmei Oonishi, whose arrival has been steeped in controversy and clouded by rumor, is also for the distinction of being the first openly declared Shooting Star in WINNOW. Oonishi's opponents, while perhaps not as known, are also bonafide Shooting Star contenders. The contrast in styles between the smooth, mat-based Hoshiko Tagawa, the straight forward brawling of Kaori Takenouchi, and the renowned flying of Oonishi, with the added all-round game of Tori Montgomery, promises to make for a very entertaining matchup.

The WINNOW Dynamic Duo title is up for grabs as Laura Flame & Simony Sentinel, the Confection Infection team of Chiyeko Kita & Yukiko Matsumara, Callisto & Victoria Corbett, and Sugiyama Iijima go head to head in a 4-way tag team. The winners gain huge momentum heading into WINNOW's tour as well as the distinction of first ever Dynamic Duo.

PLUS! Women of Texas Wrestling REPRESENT as Maria Martinez conducts the first in-depth interview with John "Nemesis" Campbell since handing him the reins of her promotion. Why would the legend of wrestling and lifetime maverick agree to take what some are calling "a big step DOWN" by being involved with a women's promotion? Tune in to find out!

A Daring Raid
Promotion goes Down Under (and beyond) to plumb for talent
posted November 3, 2009 by jbsmoov

In the weeks leading up to their debut extravaganza, it appears QAW is still on the prowl for talent. From the QAW website:

Queens of American Wrestling is proud to announce the signings of Jaime Grindstaff, Autumn Gleeson, Melissa Abernathy, Rebecca Richey, and Taniko Jo to contracts. QAW has also come to terms with Heather Braband and Jasmine Perlot.

Jaime Grindstaff is a New Zealander who has been a regular manager on the Australian & New Zealand indy scene since 2008. There were rumors she was being considered by APW and RAW but nothing ever came of that.

Autumn Gleeson was a fixture in RAW since its inception and had become a relatively popular member of their roster. Apparently, the opportunity for guaranteed money and a shot at what many consider the big time, was too much to pass up.

Melissa Abernathy was a surprise. She's been working the Aussie indies on occasion for over a year with very little in the way of progress.

Rebecca Richey's signing was a real shock. As the regular color commentator for RAW's broadcasts, it's surprising that she was allowed to leave. This leaves a gaping hole for RAW but really gives QAW a worker who could appeal to their fanbase. Rumor has it she's going to be doing color commentary for QAW's B show broadcasts, possibly alongside Eric Tyler.

Taniko Jo was a regular on the Aussie indy scene. Pretty good on the microphone, it's assumed she'll be sent down to one of the development promotions for a stint before debuting.

Heather Braband debuted only a few months ago with the ACPW promotion but apparently caught someone's interest.

Jasmine Perlot is similar, having only debuted a few months ago with the VWA promotion in Europe. It's not known what the plans are for her or even how she was "discovered".

Based on these (and previous) signings, it's safe to say QAW has scouts spread the world over, constantly looking for talent. When people who work in front of crowds numbering in the single digits are found and signed, there can be no other explanation. But it remains to be seen how (or even IF) these new signings will ever pan out for their employers.

Have to admit, I marked out at the EWR newsite references.

The Crush Gals w/Monique vs Seek & Destroy w/Krystyna vs The Commonwealth w/Ceri Dordevich

The talk around QAW headquarters is that these three teams represent the future of the Twinstar division. The future is previewed at Genesis as rookie Martina Baker teams with young joshi veteran Megumi Nakajima to face the veteran joshi team of Huntress Makiko and Ikuko Temko and the young Aussie imports Lexi Hawks & Jessie McVeigh. Reports indicate QAW management are high on Baker, but will her inexperience prove the deciding factor if her team goes down in defeat? Can the Aussie team prevail with their unique Down Under fusion style?

Young, bubbly daredevil Pixie Pinwheel; the self-proclaimed "Future Legend" Lady Caramel; European star Jeri Behr; and young joshi veterans Kuniko Matsura and Sakura Sada, all vie for the eternal honor of being the first ever Generation XX champion.

Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta vs Brooke Dunn w/Aurora vs Kinuye Mushashibo w/Chloe Dean vs Olivia Diamond w/Willow

The first ever QAW Shockwave champion will be crowned in this match as Jana Marie Bowen, "Absolute Icon" Brooke Dunn, "Baby Blue" Kinuye Mushashibo, and Olivia Diamond collide for the honor. Can JMB find the form that led to her run as NOTBPW Women's champion? Can the young, confident rookie Dunn overcome her inexperience to claim gold in her first match on the big stage? Can "Baby Blue" find an edge to secure a victory? Will Diamond live up to her surname and prevail? All questions that will be answered at Genesis in this fatal four way match!

The Natural Blondes w/Blonde Bombshell vs The Canadiennes w/Marianne vs The Super Powers w/Bethany Hurst vs Assault & Battery w/Clare South

The stakes couldn't be higher. With the QAW Twinstar title on the line, four teams line up for the chance to claim the gold. The Natural Blondes, sisters Amber & Saffron Greenway, walk a tightrope with the ever present danger of Saffron's hair trigger temper coming into play. The Canadiennes, having worked together since they were schoolgirls, bring amazing seasoning and teamwork to the table. The Super Powers, Amazing Lass and Power Girl, can get the crowd on their side seemingly at will. Assault & Battery, the team of Emma Bitch and Viv Jacobs, add pure, unadulterated brutality to the combustible mix. While all talented, who will have enough to persevere and become the first ever QAW Twinstar champions?

Girls Gone Wrestling w/BJ O'Neill vs Recipe for Success w/Heather B

Amber Allen, teaming with her mentor and trainer Principessa as Girls Gone Wrestling, has promised to show the world what she's made of as they take on the young duo of Gina Heaton & Keisha Murrell. Rumors indicate Recipe for Success have developed a brutal looking finisher they dub 'Cookin' with Gas' which has yet to be used outside of training. Will they get the chance to debut their finisher or will the vast worldwide experience of Principessa help her team come away with the W?

Ashley Grover vs Christina Charisma w/Lady Melissa

Young up & comers collide in this matchup as high flyer Ashley Grover takes on the terra firma oriented Christina Charisma. Both workers are seeking an opportunity to start their QAW careers off on a positive note but which worker has the edge in this contest?

The Icons of Tradition w/Eric Tyler vs Affliction w/Persephone

The first of our main events proves to be a potentially explosive one as Eric Tyler pits his team, daughter Brooke and childhood friend Tayla Martin (daughter of PSW star Johnny Martin) against the much heralded veteran team of Michelle Cox & Shooter Jaime Quine. While the difference in experience seems vast, all reports indicate that Tyler & Martin are not to be underestimated or dismissed. They view this match as their way of showing they belong in the main event. We'll find out if that's true at Genesis!

Vixxen w/Sienna DeVille vs Joanne Rodriguez w/Mercedes Gimenez vs Saving Grace w/Sienna DeVille vs Suzanne Brazzle w/Hannah Potter vs Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson vs Nina the Psycho Ballerina

Our main event of the evening is to crown the inaugural QAW World champion as the best of the best meet in one match. Vixxen, Joanne "J.Ro" Rodriguez, Saving Grace (the self-proclaimed 'savior of women's wrestling'), Suzanne Brazzle, Golden Delicious, Nina the Psycho Ballerina. Enough combustible elements in this match to make it a fire hazard all by itself! Will the Coven members (Vixxen & Saving Grace) work together to accomplish the goal of capturing the gold? Will the members of Dream Team II (J.Ro & Brazzle) do the same to balance the scale? Or will the trickster Golden Delicious find a way to steal the win? One thing that can be expected to occur in this match is Nina losing her cool and much destruction following upon that occurring. Which of these women has what it takes to be the Queen of all she surveys? Tune in to Genesis to find out!

My lack of knowledge on the C'verse outside of FCW my cost me but I'll see how I do. :p



Have to admit, I marked out at the EWR newsite references.

Thursday, Week 4 November 2009 1:55pm

As I played the dual roles of tour guide and proud papa, I really loved the reactions from several guests.

"This is the first film room..."

"Film room? This is a movie theater," said Alicia Strong.

"Nah, it only seats 28. Four per row, seven rows in stadium style. There's also another one on the other side of the building."

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EricTyler.jpg
Eric Tyler can be seen conducting a lecture in the room. "The crowd should be getting behind the 'face at this point so this would be where you place your first false comeback...." As he looks up at the door and nods stoically, his gaze draws that of the women he was lecturing to.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BrookeTyler.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/KinuyeMushashibo.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/KunikoMatsura.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/PixiePinwheel.jpg

Alicia waves and gets waves back followed shortly thereafter by whispered "OH MY GOD, that's Alicia Strong!" "I know!", drawing an annoyed throat clearing from Eric Tyler.

"And we're walking...."

* * *

"...over here is our fitness center", I said. Immediately upon opening the doors, high pitched screams and frantic banging rushed out of the space.

"State of the art elliptical machines and multi function exercise bikes for spinning, line the east and west walls of the facility. Weight machines are located to the south and the entry to the locker rooms and the spa are over there to the north...." I noted, pointing to the right.

As the group of women stepped forward, obviously reacting to the screaming, I added, "Oh yes, and all four walls overlook the lower training area, which features two full size rings for practical training."

"Thunder", said Saori Nakadan, very simply.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ThunderHike.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SakuraSada.jpg
Looking down at one of the rings, the two women from 5 Star (and Alicia, it should be noted), didn't seem too surprised to see Thunder Hike stretching Sakura Sada in her patented Concrete Knot submission maneuver.

"It is not locked in fully," noted Umeko "DEVIL" Karube. "It is significantly more painful when it is."

Nodding ruefully, Nakadan and Strong agreed...shuddering almost simultaneously.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BamBamJohansson_alt1.jpg
"Now THIS is a weight room. Yeah, baby", came the expected reply from Bam Bam Johansson.

"Care to try a set?", asked Terance, one of the personal trainers. As a former defensive end, Terance was no slouch at a chiseled 6'4, 270lbs. But Bam Bam completely dwarfed him when he stepped up, tore off his shirt and, staring at the unusual looking machine, said, "I need a warmup set first. Put 585 on it."

Visibly blanching but obviously impressed, Terance replied with, "Okay, these machines are designed to give multi area work. So if you want to bench and leg press, you can."

With a faraway look on his face, Bam Bam said, ever so slowly, "You all go on ahead. Terance here is going to introduce me to a weight room worthy of an Alpha."

As Byron rolled his eyes and the group continued on, it wasn't very long before the soft clank of weight plates coming together followed by an emphatic, "YEAH BABY" were heard.

* * *

As we got off of the elevator and entered the training hall, the screams had subsided. The ring closest to us was filled with women with the inimitable Sensational Ogiwara in the center holding court. In the far ring, Sakura Sada could be seen sitting in a corner with her back to us as Thunder Hike stood over her saying, "What will you do when your wings are clipped, Little Hawk? You must add more tools to become complete." Duly chastened, Sada slid gingerly from the ring before looking up and waving cheerfully at us. Noticeably limping toward a door on the other side of the hall, she stopped several times to shake her legs, apparently trying to get some circulation into them. "She will be better if she listens," DEVIL said, drawing nods from Nakadan and Strong. "Perhaps even if she doesn't," Byron interjected, drawing impressed looks from the joshi duo.

Loudly clearing my throat, I drew the attention of Ogiwara and Hike who, upon noticing who accompanied me, quickly walked over. After hugs, handshakes, and introductions had been done and promises to catch up later had been made, I led the group on, in the direction Sakura Sada had departed.

"As you can see, we have exercise bikes lining the north and south walls. This was to help with warming up and cooling down prior to and immediately after ring work."

I led them through the medical area, pointing out the locked & darkened MRI room and the elevator to the rooftop helipad for medivac purposes. Introducing everyone to QAW's Chief Medical Officer Dr. Phillip Rossdale raised some eyebrows. Taking the elevator up one floor to the spa & physical therapy area, I direct everyone to the right as the pocket doors hiss softly and open. I led them around showing the spa's facilities, finally seeing where Sakura Sada retreated to as she sat in a cold tub, legs fully submerged in ice, reading a book. As we came to the massage room, I noticed someone being worked on by a staff member.

"Shooter."

Jaime Quine lifted her head from the massage pillow and smiled and said, "Big sis is lookin' for you."

Nodding, I glanced at the clock on the wall and moved on.

[Remianen]

"This is ridiculous!"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb.jpg

"I'm sorry Sheri, I don't think I understand...?"

"All of this!", she says, sweeping her arm around.

Looking around the room, I managed to catch what seemed to be a stifled resigned sign from the Sensational One and Alicia Strong covered her face with her hand.

"So, let me make sure I have this right. For years, you and others have said that all women needed was a chance to show what they could do. Someone, me, believes that and invests heavily in creating the opportunity and...it's ridiculous?"

"Don't you realize what's going to happen if this fails? We'll be worse off than we were before!"

"So it would seem a good idea to make sure it doesn't fail, wouldn't it?"

"Look at this place! And these rules! We have to be here three hours before the show starts?"

"Sheri, how likely do you think it would be that you could get a massage before the show if you popped in 15 minutes before start? It's not like we're expecting you to come here and twiddle your thumbs for three hours. We have a masseuse you can see, several, in fact. You can check in with our chiropractor or the acupuncturist. Meditate or do some yoga. Hit up catering. Warm up, cool down, walk through your match, we just want to ensure that everyone is here and ready to go when the show opens."

"No smoking, no drugs, no alcohol backstage. That's a change from what I'm used to...", she said, glancing over at Alicia. "But it makes sense."

"Also consider the other benefits. For example, where are you staying?"

"The Four Seasons here."

"That sounds pricy. That hotel's quite a ways away. How much was the cab fare to get here?"

"Cab fare? We had a car bring us he...okay, I see your point."

"When you worked in Seattle, where did you stay? How did you get to the venue?"

"A bunch of us shared an apartment and we carpooled to the venue."

"Big one here. When you got hurt, how'd you like those medical bills? Coupled with the loss of pay when you couldn't wrestle?"

"You pay medical bills?"

"We don't get medical bills. Our workers, including you all for this weekend, are fully covered."

"Hmm...."

"There's a right way and a wrong way to do business. In a business like this, something so physical, workers need to be protected. Isn't that right, Byron?"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Byron.jpg

Shaken from his apparent enjoyment of his snifter of 90 year old Scotch, he shot me a quizzical look.

"I have a young woman on the payroll who is incensed that I'd even allow you to enter the building."

"I did what I had to. We could not afford the exposure the cost of her injury would have brought. Our insurance company advised us to sever ties immediately."

"Physically, Jeri's fine. Almost good as new. You're right, it was costly given the specialists involved. But as it stands now, she won't even come here until she has to be here. Not while you're present."

A soft knock sounded on the door before it opened to several trays being rolled in.

"Ah, dinner. I'm starvin'."

"What's all this?", inquired Alicia, as the procession of covered platters continued.

"Catering. Deal we have with the Culinary Institutes of America."

As the side table of plates and utensils were being set up, I noticed a strange smirk on the face of one Sheri Guthrie. Glancing over at Alicia, I saw that she picked up on it too, but shrugged and headed off to get check out the food on offer.

With a smile, Sensational Ogiwara said, "That is fine."

Stacy Simmons Melanie Florence Thunder Hike

Stacy: Good evening on and all, and welcome to the birth of a revolution! I'm Stacy Simmons alongside Melanie Florence and Thunder Hike...
Thunder: *clears throat*
Stacy: I'm sorry, the legendary 4-time world champion, Thunder Hike, and we have quite a show for you tonight. Where the future of women's wrestling, indeed the future of wrestling period, will be developed. For all fans of wrestling, from all four corners of the globe, this is Q-A-W and this...is....GENESIS!

In The Stone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtxV02tyR5A) fills the arena and after a minute, a pleasant surprise walks out onto the stage, sending the assembled fans into a frenzy.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VictoriaStone.jpg
Walking down to the ring, she picks up a mic off the ring apron as she enters the ring and, in a show for the fans, runs the ropes one time (with difficulty, it should be mentioned, given the four inch heels she's wearing). As she raises the mic to her mouth and tosses her raven hair back, the crowd dies down a bit and she says...

"This is it. The culmination of years of planning and decades of hard work by the women of this industry. Some of those women and their heirs are backstage right now, waiting to come out here and give you a show the likes of which you've never seen before. Y'know, when I was backstage talking to some of these girls, and yes some of them are mere girls right now, there were many times when I'd look in their eyes and see the same desire, the same drive, the same passion that I see almost every day in the eyes of my husband and my brothers. It often makes me wish I could lace up the boots one more time to come through that curtain and put on a show like I've done in the past."

The crowd pops huge at that prospect.

"But that's not in the cards...."

The crowd voices their displeasure.

"At least not tonight...", she adds, with a mischievous grin. "For tonight, this show is jam packed with the stars of today and tomorrow and they have quite a lot to show you. For tonight, rivalries will be started (and continued!), stars will be born, and tomorrow, the world will know a sea change has occurred. Tonight, I will be your guest timekeeper. But just so no one can misconstrue anything I've said, let me say this. My name is Victoria Stone, proud owner of North of the Border Pro Wrestling and proud ally of Queens of American Wrestling....and I approve this message."

Melanie: Well, I guess that's that.
Thunder: Victoria Stone, quite a competitor, very powerful ally to have.
Stacy: This is true. That takes us to our first match, where the USPW rivalry spills over into QAW as Cherry Bomb takes on Alicia Strong!

Cherry Bomb vs Alicia Strong

Familiarity often breeds contempt and this match was no different. After starting out a flat-out brawl, the action spilled outside as both women tried to get the definitive upper hand. With an abundance of stiff shots, countered finishers, and corner action, the turning point came after a high back body drop left Alicia laid out on the canvas. As Cherry Bomb spent an inordinate amount of time playing to the crowd, she failed to notice her opponent stagger to the ropes. As Cherry Bomb signaled for the finish, she turned around long enough to feel a Strong Arm Tactic and the buzzing in her head didn't subside until long after referee Isis counted the pinfall.
Alicia Strong defeated Cherry Bomb by pinfall after a Strong Arm Tactic.

Thunder: Play to the crowd after the battle is won.
Melanie: You think?

Flame Guardians vs Confection Infection vs Immaculata vs SugiJima

Despite the best intentions, while the match started off fairly even and low key, it wasn't long before that went out the window. While the potential of many of the workers was undeniable (witness Callisto reverse an attempted rana by Iijima into a pendulum-like inverted suplex), the match deteriorated into a spotfest. Thus the ending which saw Sentinel take out her own partner with a suicide dive while she was brawling with Corbett, Callisto fall victim to a baseball slide from Sugiyama and Iijima gets caught by the Ice Cream Dream (Total Elimination), crowning Confection Infection as the first ever Dynamic Duo.
Confection Infection defeated Flame Guardians, Immaculata, and SugiJima when Yukiko Matsumara defeated Ochiyo Iijima by pinfall with an Ice Cream Dream.
Confection Infection win the WINNOW Dynamic Duo titles.

Stacy: And the young team of Kita & Matsumara emerge victorious as WINNOW's Dynamic Duo!
Melanie: That was an exciting match!
Thunder: Even if it didn't make sense.

Hoshiko Tagawa vs Kaori Takenouchi vs Gemmei Oonishi vs Tori Montgomery

Much more even contest that was obviously strictly scripted saw Gemmei spend most of the match playing possum after Tori stopped her first foray to the top rope with a sick sounding enzuigiri. With one person down, Tori engaged in a mat wrestling duel with Hoshiko that was thwarted by a flying lariat by Kaori that took all three women down and Tori right out of the ring. Kaori then slowly got to her feet and grabbed Hoshiko, setting up for the Air Strike (double underhook powerbomb) but had it blocked and countered into a back drop that sent her clear out of the ring, onto a slowly rising Tori. As Hoshiko turned around to catch her breath, she ate a textbook dropkick from the now active Gemmei. Rising to the top rope, Gemmei then executed her Flying Dagger Legdrop (Guillotine legdrop) successfully for the pinfall and the title of Shooting Star of WINNOW.
Gemmei Oonishi defeated Kaori Takenouchi, Tori Montgomery, and Hoshiko Tagawa when Gemmei Oonishi defeated Hoshiko Tagawa by pinfall with a Flying Dagger Legdrop.
Gemmei Oonishi wins the WINNOW Shooting Star title.

Stacy: Oonishi gets the victory in somewhat controversial fashion.
Thunder: Why controversy? Young Gemmei used her mind and emerged victorious.
Melanie: The Legend has a point.

Eve Grunge© vs Sterling Silver

Very basic match of contrasting styles that featured Sterling Silver really taking it to the champion. After three near falls, Eve rolled out of the ring to catch her breath and instead caught a Silver Bullet (No-handed springboard somersault plancha), laying both women out. Eve was up first and rolled in and out of the ring to reset referee Isis' count before taking it to the challenger on the mats. Whip into the ring steps and an overhead belly to belly suplex, before the challenger was rolled back into the ring. But when the champion attempted to lift her up, she found herself rolled up in a small package for a 2-count. Incensed, she lifted her opponent and irish whipped her into the corner, only to have the slippery masked woman run up the turnbuckle and flatten her with a missile dropkick. With both women down, the referee began the count. Both women were up at 8 and a rubbery legged slugfest in the middle of the ring commenced. None the worse for wear, Silver hit the ropes intending to get up some momentum and was stopped cold by a kick to the gut followed immediately after by Evenflow (Flowing DDT).
Eve Grunge retains the CWWF World title, defeating Sterling Silver by pinfall with an Evenflow.

Big win for the champion.
Yeah, it was close though.
Hand grenades and...nuclear bombs
Horseshoes
What?
Horseshoes & hand grenades. If you mean 'close only matters with'
No, nuclear bomb is better. More true.

DEVIL Karube vs Saori Nakadan

The veteran joshi duo come out to show the crowd how it should be done. From stiff strikes to tight mat wrestling and some flying tossed in for good measure, these two put on a match that only connoisseurs of wrestling could truly appreciate. After using the ropes to block it several times during the match, DEVIL was finally trapped and fell victim to the Nakadan Spike.
Saori Nakadan defeated DEVIL Karube by pinfall with the Nakadan Spike.

The Nakadan Spike looks brutal.
Feels worse than it looks, believe me.

Remianen: Hello everyone, my name is Remianen and with me are Women of Texas Wrestling owner Maria Martinez and a man who needs no introduction. The mind who was perhaps the driving force behind the phenomenon that was Danger and Violence Extreme, Nemesis! Let's start with Ms Martinez. What made you want to start a wrestling promotion?

Maria: Well, I grew up watching wrestling. Lucha libre is probably as big in south Texas as the old brawling Southern style. But after SCCW and TWL closed down, we didn't really have anything besides television and the rare visits by the larger promotions. When I turned 21 and got my trust fund, I figured I would spend part of it getting something started.

Remianen: I'm sure it wasn't easy. How exactly did you manage to coax Nemesis out of his self-imposed exile?

Nemesis: Heh, exile. Good way o' puttin' it.

Maria: Well, it wasn't me really. When I was checking around and doing research, my papa introduced me to a guy who was doing the same thing. We got to talking and found we had a lot of things in common as far as our goals. So we exchanged numbers and that was it. Then a few months later, he called me and asked if I needed a booker. I didn't even have a RING yet! But we worked out something and then Jo...um, Nemesis came down to the house and we talked and the next thing you know, WTW was born and Nemesis had the book.

Remianen: So I guess the next question is for the man himself. Nemesis, why come back? Even more bewildering is, why come back and take over a WOMEN'S promotion?

Nemesis: That's the burning question, huh? Look, I was perfectly fine sittin' on my ass at home and watchin' my kid take his lumps like I did. But then you see cheap knockoffs trying to parlay their bit role in DaVE into some kind of imitation and makin' money off it! See, me and Phil had an understanding. You see what he's doin' now. Is he tryin' to recreate DAVE? No. He's moved on. Just like everyone else has. Well, almost everyone. I always promised myself that if I came back, I would be a part of the same thing I was a part of before: something completely new that no one had ever seen before. So when the QAW guy called and we went fishin' and sh*t and he explained what he wanted to do, I knew. When this guy talks about his plans, you can feel how honest he is, you can almost see his passion. That's how Phil was way back when, hell, that's how I was way back when. So when I sat down with him and Maria and we fleshed out our ideas, I knew this was the right lane for me to pull into. It's good that it's girls only so I won't have my kid hittin' me up for a job. But some of these girls are tough sons o' bitches. Maria's not a bad broad to work for either. She doesn't get in the way and she knows how to work a microphone. Easy on the eyes too, heh.

Remianen: Indeed. So I take it you're also helping to train the girls in WTW?

Nemesis: When necessary. But we have a good crew of vets who often handle that. Lemme tell ya, they aint kiddin' when they talk about this revolution sh*t. We don't put on that weak sports entertainment sh*t like that place in Seattle. We are straight up Southern style with lucha influences and our girls work that style very well right now. You want stiffness? We got stiffness. You want that crazy top rope sh*t? We got that too. But anyone who comes to work for us knows, no matter what your style might be, you're gonna get hit in the mouth.

Maria: In that ol' Southern style.

QAW ownership came through big with the Nemesis catch.
I have friends at WTW. They speak well of the talent there.

Aud D'Hoffryn w/Bam Bam Johansson vs Anna Ki w/Byron

A short and simple match to establish the participants in this hemisphere. Basic SE style match going back and forth with a couple near falls before chaos reigned as Bam Bam distracted the referee allowing Aud a thumb to the eye of Anna Ki, which Byron took offense to. As the men brawled outside the ring, momentarily distracting the ref, Aud used the opportunity to block the Ki-D-T and counter with the Alpha Plant (sitout facebuster) just as the ref's attention returned to the match.
Aud D'Hoffryn defeated Anna Ki by pinfall with the Alpha Plant after interference by Bam Bam Johansson.

That was rather chaotic and that Bam Bam is a BEAST!

The Crush Gals w/Monique vs Seek & Destroy w/Krystyna vs The Commonwealth w/Ceri Dordevich

Crush (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hj5S1RCUDvM) hits the arena speakers, heralding the arrival of the Crush Gals & Monique followed shortly thereafter by New Sensation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjxrvNCZnqU) bringing the Commonwealth & Ceri through the curtain and, after a pause, the somber sound of Natural Born Killaz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5oYDXKYu64) is followed by Krystyna flanked by Huntress Makiko and Ikuko Temko, Seek & Destroy. Standing at the top of the ramp, the two competitors stare balefully at the ring as their manager whistles something to each of them before a pat on the back sends them barreling toward the ring and immediately after the Crush duo. After a moment, Lexi & Jessie look at each other, shrug, and go right after the Huntress and Ikuko. It's a long minute before the ref manages to restore order and get a legal trio in the ring.

A pattern seems to develop as there never seems to be a time when either Megumi or Huntress Makiko or Ikuko Temko are not in the ring. That keeps the action fast and furious but always under control, despite the furious action. In the end, experience wins through as Jessie blind tags herself in while Lexi is tied up with Martina and, ascending to the top rope, flies off intending to body press a seemingly unwitting Ikuko Temko. It's a trick, however, as the wily joshi vet spins in time to catch her in perfect position. The Pendulum follows, as does the pinfall.
Seek & Destroy defeated The Crush Gals and The Commonwealth when Ikuko Temko defeated Jessie McVeigh with a Temko Pendulum.

Something tells me this rivalry isn't over.
Megumi has much pride. This loss will not go unavenged.

Pixie Pinwheel vs Lady Caramel w/Jasmine Perlot vs Jeri Behr vs Kuniko Matsura vs Sakura Sada

The talent in the ring is unmistakable, though raw. Between Pixie Pinwheel, who seems adept at adding colorful flourishes to even the simplest maneuvers (as evinced by what can only be called a reverse rana to counter a back drop) and Sakura Sada who, for whatever reason, seems intent on locking holds onto anyone who comes in range ("Thunder?" "Hmm?"), the match was anything but predictable.

What was utterly unpredictable was Lady Caramel bailing out of the chaotic scene at the first opportunity and maintaining a low profile, with Jasmine working the match as if her client was actively involved. After Pixie wiped out herself and Jeri with a plancha and Kuniko floored Sakura with a picture perfect dropkicksault, the crowd was anticipating the end. As Kuniko climbed the to the high rent district, Sakura shakily got back to her feet and turned right into a Firestorm (Shooting Star DDT). Just as Kuniko made the cover, a fresh Lady Caramel broke it up and put her own exclamation point on the match with her Cosmopolitan Driver (Fisherman Driver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-bHOADMTFE)) for the pin, the win, and the title!

Lady Caramel wins the QAW Generation XX title.

The key to multi woman matches is to have your opponents wear each other down for you. Lady Caramel, like young Gemmei, understands that.
Sakura Sada is normally a flier, I thought. What made her want to completely change her approach?
I have no idea.
I'm being told we're in for a heavy dose of lucha action, as Miss Mexico defends the LLX World title against La Cazadora! Let's head to the ring!

Miss Mexico© vs La Cazadora

Miss Mexico has some name value here and the crowd is definitely familiar with lucha concepts so walking the rookie through a simple, though exciting match is fairly easy. While Mexi spends much of the match working over Cazadora's right leg, the masked woman finds ways to trap her in a variety of rollups, kicked out at 1. As the heat rises, the rookie starts to grow more comfortable and even manages to score the first fall, on a unique spinning rana.

Frustrated in the pause between falls, Mexi decides to press a visible advantage, watching the rookie favor her right leg. Avoiding the masked woman's attacks, Mexi goes straight for the leg with a chop block, kicks, and stomps, and finally locking in a single leg boston crab, really pulling back and eliciting panicked screams from the rookie, before she frantically tapped the canvas repeatedly. Not one to release before she had to, Mexi kept pulling until a 4 count was reached.

Tied one fall apiece, the champion circles her prey with hungry eyes as the rookie limps noticeably, locked in a defensive posture. Her Montero training kicking in, she fell right into instinct, responding to a feint by the c0cky ruda with a spring to the ropes and a double sledge. Falling awkwardly on her right leg, she scrambled to the nearest corner to relieve the pressure, in time to catch a running clothesline. Never one to give up or give in, she pulls herself upright and stares defiantly at the champion, by now tossing her red hair around in anticipation of the end, she lunges at the object of her agony (notably pushing off her left leg). Mistake, as the champion was seemingly waiting for it, catching her, twisting slightly, and executing a textboot snap powerslam. Wiping sweat from her brow, she flicked it onto her downed opponent and began making a 'raising the roof' hand gesture. Running the ropes and hurdling her young opponent, she hit the near ropes into her patented Redhead Press (springboard moonsault) finishing maneuver. The pinfall was academic.
Miss Mexico retained the LLX World title when she defeated La Cazadora by pinfall with a Redhead Press.
Miss Mexico makes defense number 3 of her LLX World title.

That was amazing!
I agree. It will be good to see the young lucha workers develop.
Something tells me Mexi hasn't seen the last of La Cazadora.

Many of our international viewers may be more familiar with some of these esteemed guests. We have UK superstar Adam "Mile High" Matravers, his fianceé and manager Phoebe Plumridge, UK personality Kathleen Lee, award winning film and television director Alexis Buffett....
...who also happens to own our sister promotion, Lucha Libre Extreme. I'm sure she's happy with the way her girls performed.
Aussie superstar tag team the Melbourne Blondes, Blake Belushi and Rick Stantz, flanking their manager Stephanie Drucker.
...The Lizard Queen...
Yes, joshi legend and 5 Star Supreme Wrestling owner Sakurako Kagawa. I'm sure the man sitting next to her needs no introduction. His daughter walked away with a hard fought win in our opening contest.
I wonder. If the Lizard Queen is here, who remains at home to torment Yuu?
Huh??
Nevermind.
The Natural, here from NOTBPW to support his girlfriend Catherine Quine alongside former DAVE star and hardcore icon Johnny Martin, whose daughter Tayla is set to perform tonight. Indy daredevil Matt Sparrow must have been proud as his protegé Martina Baker looked very good, despite not picking up a victory.
It would appear that this is, ah, a big deal?
Indeed it is, Thunder. Indeed it is.

Saeko Hiroyuki vs Tsuki Kawamata vs Yoko Ikina vs Lioness Mushashibo

Veteran joshi action that, at times, seemed destined to barrel out of control. With all four women in the ring at the same time, the hits came fast and furious. Tsuki spent much of the match dominating by reversal. Clothesline by Yoko ducked and countered with a neckbreaker, springboard splash by the Lioness rolled out of and turned into a cloverleaf (quickly broken up by a vicious Yakuza kick from Saeko). With Tsuki down and the Lioness reeling and holding her leg, Saeko immediately took the point in the match, turning her focus to Yoko. The younger woman was ready, however, and a slugfest commenced in the center of the ring. The typical joshi exchange of forearm shivers sent both women reeling at alternating points. Yoko broke up the sequence with a standing dropkick that floored her more seasoned opponent just long enough for a Shining Apprentice. Exulting over her moral victory, she had just enough time to turn into Tsuki's Flying Leg Lariat, stopping her momentum in its tracks.

The resulting pinfall attempt was broken up by the Lioness with a basement dropkick that scored big, knocking Tsuki clear out of the ring. As the Lioness signaled for the finish she was best known for, climbing the turnbuckles (no longer hopping up as she had in her youth), she found she suddenly had company as Saeko attacked her from behind. Perched precariously on the second rope, she tried to elbow her resistance off until another person joined the fray in Yoko Ikina. With Saeko attacking Lioness and Yoko attacking Saeko, a somewhat comical human tower formed as the Lioness perched with a foot on the top rope, back to the ring and Saeko, with visions of a Hiroyuki Bomb in her mind, stood on the second rope. Steadily climbing on Saeko, Yoko tried to get to the Lioness through her human obstruction. It was then that the unthinkable happened. Cautiously turning in place to rain fists down on Saeko, the Lioness was literally cornered. That is, until she hopped the final step to the top rope, lunged toward the center of the ring, and grabbed Yoko around the waist.

The result had both Yoko and Saeko (who Yoko was clutching) hit the ring as the Lioness pulled off a most impactful Super Sunset Bomb on her opponents. The resulting three count left three women senseless on the mat, but one Lioness as the first True Heart of WINNOW.
Lioness Mushashibo defeated Tsuki Kawamata, Saeko Hiroyuki, and Yoko Ikina when Lioness Mushashibo defeated Yoko Ikina by pinfall with a Super Sunset Bomb.

That was...wow!
It would appear there is still spring in the venerable Lioness's step.
Stars of the future on display as QAW's first ever Shockwave champion will be crowned. And that match.....is NEXT!

The crowd quiets with an expectant buzz before #41 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sz9B3Eki0LI) somberly hits the speakers, the drum, guitar, and horns slowly wafting through the arena for 34 seconds before the song picks up and two women step onto the stage.

Introduced as former NOTBPW Women's champion Jana Marie Bowen and her manager Julie Forletta, they head to the ring playing to the fans, Julie often miming the horns playing in the song.

Shortly thereafter, Little Miss Can't Be Wrong (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXWbMu4PtpE) starts up and two more women come out.

Introduced as Brooke Dunn and Aurora, they stay to the center of the ramp, turning their noses up at the fans before reaching the ring and entering with a diva-esque flair.

Just then, a piano riff starts as Beautiful Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pyly3JtXoy4) kickstarts the entry of two more women.

"Baby Blue" Kinuye Mushashibo is introduced with her manager Chloe Dean who carries a big floppy sunflower stuffed animal with her, gladhanding with the fans. As Kinuye gets to the ring, she climbs onto the apron and springboards into a crouch, intently watching her two opponents.

That is, until Danger at The Door (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCzxOOfdiBc) hits and the final set of women emerge, throwing up diamond hand signs.

Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta vs Brooke Dunn w/Aurora vs Kinuye Mushashibo w/Chloe Dean vs Olivia Diamond w/Willow

The match starts off with matched pairs as Olivia goes right after JMB with a ferocious barrage of punches as Kinuye lights Brooke up with chops, backing her into a corner. With both sets of women in opposite corners, both JMB and Kin get the same idea and whip their opponents toward each other. Brooke and Olivia lock arms to stop their momentum and reverse course...right into a pair of dropkicks as the faces stand tall in the early going.

As the match continues and the action see-saws back and forth, with the managers making themselves known (including one spot where Chloe uses her stuffed sunflower to spray water in the eyes of a fallen Brooke Dunn), we get to what has to be the conclusion. After an irish whip from Kin, Brooke seems about to leapfrog before stopping her momentum midair, long enough to hit her Well Dunn (Yoshi Tonic (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j20nFGu6yc&NR=1)) finisher on Kinuye. The pinfall is broken up by a stiff boot to the face from JMB, who lifts Brooke up, elbows her in the gut and floors her with the Bowen Technique (Overdrive). But before she can cover, she's grabbed from behind by Olivia who grins widely as Willow holds up that accursed diamond hand sign. As JMB attempts to spin away, Olivia spins her a little more and hits the Diamond Cutter, following it by standing and letting slip a feral scream. She looks down at her two fallen opponents and apparently doesn't catch Willow's frantic signaling before she turns around into a Blue Dream (Dragonrana (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQSfq5tyQH8)). The crowd counts along with referee Isis for the 1, 2, 3!

Crikey, that was fun to watch. Congratulations to Baby Blue, our first Shockwave champion.
I enjoyed that match. Not how I would have done it but still very enjoyable.
How would you have done it?
I preferred to force my opponents to give up. Pinfalls are effective but submissions are far more satisfying.

Girls Gone Wrestling w/BJ O'Neill vs Recipe for Success w/Heather B

Nolita Fairytale (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQPr3IoWT8c) starts up and Principessa comes out with her protegé Amber Allen and their manager, the stunning BJ O'Neill and they make their way down the ramp. As they get into the ring, the music abruptly changes and Milkshake (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGL2rytTraA) starts (I'm never going to get that song out of my head now) and out comes Heather B with Gina Heaton and Keisha Murrell in their matching outfits. Heather raises her arms above her head and levels them at the waiting team in the ring before miming a gunshot, sending her team hurtling toward the ring in a sprint and the match is underway.

As referee Isis tries to get a single legal pair of women in the ring, she winds up assisting the young heel team as she forces Principessa from the ring as Gina & Keisha tee off on Amber. However, as the pair hit the ropes with evil intent, they return to a double clothesline, courtesy of a lunging Amber Allen. As Heather drags Keisha from the ring, Gina slowly rises to her feet and turns into the irate Amber. Weakly trying a wild swing, she was spun around and dropped via a sitout full nelson atomic drop. When Amber went to pick her up again, a small package met her, which got a 2-count. Upon rising, Gina scored with an undetected thumb to the eye, providing a reprieve she used to tag Keisha in. Upon entering, Keisha immediately began playing to the crowd while taunting Amber. She then fired left jabs at Amber, taking advantage of her temporary blindness. The rookie then made her first error when she hit the ropes and found herself on the receiving end of a Double-A Spinebuster. A wild eyed Amber rose to her feet and looked into her corner, where her mentor Principessa stood stretched out, begging for the tag. Amber looked at the assembled crowd, reached out her hand...and tagged air, as Heather B pulled Principessa's legs off the apron.

As referee Isis went to handle Heather's interference and BJ's pursuit of Heather, the double team began. Stereo dropkicks, followed by elbow drops, and another mistake as Gina held Amber's arms long enough for Keisha to land a resounding slap, which apparently cleared the bats from Amber's belfry. Lowering her center of gravity, she tossed Gina right into her partner with a release backslide type of maneuver, leaving all three women down. As the ref's count reached five, Amber crawled painstakingly toward her corner as Gina rolled out of the ring. As Keisha got to the ropes and brought herself onto her feet, she finally realized what was about to occur and moved to stop it, seconds after Amber made the tag.

Principessa enters the ring furiously, lighting up Keisha with a punch-chop alternating series of blows before whipping her to the ropes and scoring with her own spinebuster. As Gina comes in to help, she gets an inverted atomic drop followed immediately by a standing big boot that sends her through the second rope to the floor. Principessa then signals for Keisha to get up, and when she does, she gets whipped to the ropes and yanked up (and down) by the Princess Drop (Barbie Crusher). The pinfall soon follows.
Girls Gone Wrestling defeated Recipe for Success when Principessa defeated Keisha Murrell by pinfall with the Princess Drop.

And Girls Gone Wrestling emerge with the victory.
Amber needs to spend less time in the ring, I believe.
I'm really looking forward to this next match, as the QAW Twinstar title is on the line! Let's head to the ring for the introductions!

Trust a Try (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsJ3RvTlVIs) starts up and half a minute later, Amber & Saffron Greenway, the Natural Blondes emerge onto the stage flanking their manager, the Blonde Bombshell.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AmberGreenway.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SaffronGreenway.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BlondeBombshell.jpg
After fistpumping and waving to the crowd, they sprint down to the ring, and climb adjacent turnbuckles, pumping up the fans at ringside.

Hero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gPLmPrDzx4) fills the arena and Bethany Hurst steps onto the stage alone, smirking as the spotlight centers on her. After a few moments, she points to either side of the middle of the arena and spotlights catch Amazing Lass and Power Girl posing on catwalks near the top of the arena.

To the crowd's astonishment, both women leap from their perches and extend into flying stances as they appear to do just that, right down to the ring. As the camera shot cuts to Bethany walking down the ramp as if this was a regular occurrence, she walks to the far side of the ring and bashfully shakes Victoria Stone's hand.

Cryin' Like A Bitch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eXIOK2vOhM) fires up and Clare South comes out, accompanied by her tag team of Emma Bitch & Viv Jacobs, Assault & Battery.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EmmaBitch.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VivJacobs.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ClareSouth.jpg
Barely restrained fury wracked the face of Viv Jacobs as the three women walked slowly down the ramp. As they entered the now empty ring, Viv grabbed the top rope and shook it while Emma sneered in the direction of Victoria Stone.

O Canada (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0jhJA1Hjxk) fires up and shortly after, Marianne comes out holding and waving two (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/5f/Flag_of_Quebec.svg) flags (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Flag_of_Canada.svg) followed shortly thereafter by two women wearing outfits that are basically full size versions of the flags, each of them holding a full size flag on a pole. Introduced as Canadian Angel (wearing and bearing the Canadian flag) and Québécoise (wearing and bearing the provincial flag of Quebec), together known as The Canadiennes.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CanadianAngel.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Qubcoise.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Marianne.jpg
After a moment of waving their flags, they pose seductively back to back, flags fully unfurled at arm's length, seemingly unaware of the blistering crowd reaction. Finally following Marianne down the ramp, shouldering their flags like standard-bearers. Staring up at the six rather annoyed women in the ring, Québécoise waves at them to move back as she and her partner enter the ring....and then all hell breaks loose!

The Natural Blondes w/Blonde Bombshell vs The Canadiennes w/Marianne vs The Super Powers w/Bethany Hurst vs Assault & Battery w/Clare South

As soon as the Canadian duo entered, the ring exploded with action. Each team seemed to have an almost innate sense of what their partners were doing and it made for a straight up fight that seemed choreographed. Before long, order was restored and one woman from each team squared off in the ring.

The match proceeded in cautious fashion as each team executed frequent tags, wearing down an opposing member before leaving the ring again. Just after the 10 minute mark, the parade of finishers began with Amazing Lass leveling Emma with her Lass-O (Burning Lariat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqG1-VR2M1g)) but found the pinfall broken up by Amber. In the confusion, Viv managed to grab Emma's foot and drag her into their corner, yelling at referee Isis to watch for the tag. Once in the ring, she floored Amber and Québécoise with a double clothesline before screaming and flexing. Grabbing Amazing Lass, she hoisted her straight up and brought her straight down with a Vivisection (Sheer Drop Falcon Arrow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGqA5rvc8JQ)). The pinfall was again broken up by Amber, this time forcefully with a basement dropkick to the back of Viv's head. With Viv down, Amber tags in Saffron and they stalk the slowly rising Québécoise. Finally, Saffron grabs her and lifts her up as Amber falls into position as she's dropped back first right on Amber's knee. (They call that Natural Selection (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urw07bLO80M)). During this exchange, Amazing Lass has been crawling to her corner to make a tag, which she does and Power Girl breaks up the pinfall with a simple kick to Saffron and a looping overhand right to Amber.

Fully in control of her opponents, Power Girl forces a meeting of the minds between Saffron and Québécoise, not paying any attention to Viv, who tags Emma back in. Power Girl turns right into a right jab from Emma, before being whipped to the ropes and served quite an emphatic spinebuster. Kicking Saffron off the ring apron, Emma gives a long, sneering stare at Victoria Stone before grabbing a rising Power Girl and raising and dropping her with The Payback (Splash Mountain (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYAFky_g55U)). Again, inattention costs as seconds before, Québécoise tagged Canadian Angel who stayed on the apron waiting for an opportune moment. That moment came as referee Isis fell to count the pinfall before Emma took a straight kick to the side of the head. With Marianne shouting something (Bend it? End it? End it! That's what she's saying!), Canadian Angel sized up her opponent and when she rose, the Angel struck with the Canadian Destroyer, easily eking out the 1, 2, 3.
The Canadiennes defeated The Super Powers, the Natural Blondes, and Assault & Battery when Canadian Angel defeated Emma Bitch by pinfall with a Canadian Destroyer.
The Canadiennes win the QAW Twinstar titles.

Thunder, is that move as painful as it looks?
I...don't know. I've never come across it.

Marchin' On (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0ozcHGK028) hits and three women emerge onto the stage.

Introduced as Docent and Outrider, collectively known as Call of Duty, flanking their manager Rachel Dearheart, they point at the Canadiennes and make the belt gesture around their own waists, as the Canuck duo clutch their newly won titles tight and Marianne yells at the challengers with, apparently strong French language.

They haven't had the titles for five minutes before challengers line up to take them away.
Welcome to life as a champion.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AshleyGrover.jpg vs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ChristinaCharisma_Clarity.jpg w/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/LadyMelissa.jpg
Ashley Grover vs Christina Charisma w/Lady Melissa

Fed Up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JPI9XzbTgkU) starts, heralding the entrance of Christina Charisma and her manager Lady Melissa, dressed rather provocatively in a glittery sleeveless blouse with a plunging neckline giving more than a slight glimpse of the assets that availed her in her former line of work. Shortly after the pair enter the ring, Excuse Me Mr. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=it1aZBPuH4w) gets the arena on its feet as Ashley Grover bounds out and strikes a pose.

With both women in the ring, the cat & mouse game began. As Christina tried to get her hands on the sprightly Ashley, she found her efforts frustrated at almost every turn. When she did manage to corner the young flier, a suplex of some form usually resulted. Eventually Ashley seemed to have tired her opponent out and started to press her advantage. Bulldog, knee drop, and standing splash got her a 2-count before she popped up and looked out into the crowd with wide eyes. Moving to the corner, she hopped up onto the top rope and launched into her Chicago Hope (Swanton bomb). But there was no one there as Christina waited until the last possible second to roll out of the way.

By now absolutely livid, she mounted the fallen Ashley and rained down right hands on her until the referee started her 5 count. At 4, she stood up and as the ref tried to get her off Ashley, Christina got into the ref's face yelled at her, "I have until 5!". Kicking Ashley in the back, she pulled her opponent to her feet and suplexed her once, twice, three times before releasing her hold. With an evil grin, made a throat slashing gesture and picked Ashley up.....before being rolled into a small package for a long 2-count. Furious, she popped back up and locked in an inverted headlock and executed the C-Cutter (Hero's Welcome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KijS27yDKoA)). Not content to make the cover, she then locked in the Charisma Clutch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrBok5YF2-8), torquing it repeatedly until Ashley weakly tapped the mat.
Christina Charisma defeated Ashley Grover by submission with a Charisma Clutch.

Wow, I wonder where all that came from.
I like her choice of endings.
Well, we're in the home stretch for Genesis with just a few matches remaining to be decided. Next, we have the LFC World title on the line as Catherine Quine defends against former champion Sara Marie York, veteran powerhouse Susan Lee, and newcomer Elyssa Anderson.

Sara Marie York vs Elyssa Anderson vs Catherine Quine© vs Susan Lee

A very simple match, used to expose Elyssa to a wider audience and teach her how to work multi person matches. Between the always entertaining back and forth between Sara Marie and Cat, they also managed to bring Elyssa in on several double team sequences. For much of the match, Elyssa locked up with Susan Lee, almost literally, as she transitioned one hold into another, trying to neutralize the power game of her opponent. In the end, after Sara Marie launched a beautiful plancha on Susan outside the ring, it gave Cat time alone with the rookie. Time the wily vet used to reverse a suplex attempt and reverse it into the Cat's Cradle (Rolling Death Cradle (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJByKYiQ4kY)).
Catherine Quine defeated Sara Marie York, Susan Lee, and Elyssa Anderson after Catherine Quine defeated Elyssa Anderson by pinfall with the Cat's Cradle.
Catherine Quine makes defense number 3 of the LFC World title.

Experience cannot be overstated. It won here tonight, in several matches.

She's Gone (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wTsDkBbjsI) fires up and its distorted guitar line reverberates through the arena. After a minute, Eric Tyler steps out onto the stage and takes a minute surveying the crowd.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EricTyler.jpg
He then nods and looks behind him and two stunning young women emerge, somber looks on their faces.

They are introduced as "The Franchise" Brooke Tyler and "The American Dream" Tayla Martin, the Icons of Tradition. Described as second generation stars, their training backgrounds and pedigree are noted. As the trio walk down the ramp, Eric Tyler's accolades are detailed, followed by the more abbreviated list of Johnny Martin. As they got to the ring, Eric Tyler holds the ropes open for the young women and they enter the ring and run the ropes before meeting in the middle with Eric as their music dies down.

After a pause, Click Click Boom (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfjTZLxekig) starts up followed shortly thereafter by Persephone coming out onto the stage in a full length lavender number, diamond studded tiara brilliant as the spotlight centers on her. She stands at the top of the ramp smirking before throwing her arms wide to reveal two workers rising on elevators from below the stage.

Introduced as Michelle Cox and Shooter Jaime Quine, collectively they are known as Affliction.

The Icons of Tradition w/Eric Tyler vs Affliction w/Persephone

This match maintained a brisk pace, perhaps as a result of the youth of all the competitors. The only slowdowns occurred when Michelle was in the ring as she preferred wear down holds, especially grabbing an arm, wrenching it, and stomping the armpit area. ("She's setting up for something."). The match saw the 2nd gen team pull out all the stops, including their fathers' signatures. Like Brooke hitting a Tyler Arm Breaker on Michelle, getting a 2-count. Tayla also managed to hit her father's Twist on the Rocks finisher, also on Michelle, for a long 2-count, pointing to him as she made the cover. The pinfall was broken up by Jaime with a lethal side kick that sent Tayla reeling. As Michelle made the tag, she came in on fire, assaulting Tayla with a barrage of chops. Whipping her to the ropes, she telegraphed a backdrop and found herself hooked and spun around and the first official victim of the TMZ (Kudome Valentine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J7R0GVns1E)). Michelle was just able to break up the pinfall.

Lifting Jaime up by the hair, Tayla turned to drag her to her corner to tag in Brooke before Jaime sprung into action with a desperation enzuigiri, leaving both women down. As referee Isis began the count, it appeared both women were out of it. They both stirred at 4 and began crawling to their corners by 7. At 9, simultaneous tags were made and the fresh women bolted into the ring. Trading bombs in the center of the ring, Michelle finally ducked one and scored with an overhead belly to belly suplex that sent Brooke rolling from the ring, right at her father's feet. Michelle went out after her and whipped her into the ring steps, reversal, and into the steps crashes Michelle. Sensing victory, Brooke grabbed her opponent and rolled her into the ring. Sizing her up for a Brooke Breaker, she tried to apply the full nelson only to have it blocked......and reversed, into the Cox Crossface (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHwyCC87XY0#t=49s), in the center of the ring! As Tayla comes in to break it up, she catches a KO Kick for her troubles. To her credit, Brooke flails, trying to wiggle her way out or roll over but eventually, she's forced to tap.
Affliction defeated The Icons of Tradition when Michelle Cox defeated Brooke Tyler by submission with a Cox Crossface.

That move is lethal!
Rarely have I seen it applied in such a way. I like it!
Ladies and gentleman, it's time for the main event! Six women vie for the honor of being the first ever QAW World champion. Let's head to the ring for the introductions!

So Cold (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTiGlNDnOtE) starts and Golden Delicious is announced with her manager, Autumn Gleeson. After a moment, the two come out, Golden swaggering down the ramp with Autumn in tow, berating the fans.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Vixxen.jpg
Freak On A Leash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRGrNDV2mKc) starts up next, and Vixxen comes out, baring her fangs at the fans along the ramp.

System of Survival (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4C9FSz5XDI) fires up and after a few bars play, Hannah comes out and stops at the top of the ramp where she is soon joined by Suzanne Brazzle, eliciting a big pop from the crowd. As the two women reach the ring...

Split Personality (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeXH0_a6PZM) starts and Nina walks out and straight down to the ring. As she enters the ring, she performs a échappé sur le pointes and laughs.

After a bit of a pause, Oye (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DnyKop_NaI) hits with a noticeable thump, as the crowd pops huge as a red haired Hispanic woman introduced as Mercedes Gimenez comes out, hips in full swivel.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MercedesGimenez.jpg
After a minute or so, another Hispanic woman steps onto the stage and the crowd gets even louder.

This woman, introduced as Joanne Rodriguez, joins her manager in dancing on the stage as a ridiculous pyrotechnic display goes off all around them.

As Joanne and Mercedes walk down the ramp and around the ring, greeting our special guests before getting into the ring, J.Ro climbs each turnbuckle in turn and plays to the fans, before J.Ro's music abruptly dies and a hush falls over the arena as the lights dim to near darkness.

Savior (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj0ZZnlAQXI) begins, in its slow way, and as a fog obscures the stage with only dim footlights for illumination, after 25 seconds a platform appears to be slowly rising from under the stage.

75 seconds in, a harsh, stark spotlight flashes onto one woman kneeling at the feet of another. The standing woman, clad in all black, is introduced as Saving Grace and the kneeling woman as Sienna DeVille. After surveying the crowd, Grace reaches her hand down to Sienna, beckoning her to rise. As the two women slowly walk down the ramp, the crowd voices their displeasure.

Vixxen w/Sienna DeVille vs Joanne Rodriguez w/Mercedes Gimenez vs Saving Grace w/Sienna DeVille vs Suzanne Brazzle w/Hannah Potter vs Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson vs Nina the Psycho Ballerina

The match, while intense, had a good deal of comedy laced into it. At the start, while the competitors felt each other out, alliances started being formed as the only two faces in the ring collaborated and Golden Delicious and Nina talked. As Nina turned to face off with Suzanne, Golden tapped her on the shoulder and, as she turned to respond, she was hit with a Melbourne Surprise (Jumping cutter/RKO) as Golden smirked over her fallen form. Not willing to risk trying for a pinfall, she rolled the still body of Nina out of the ring unceremoniously before whirling to face her remaining adversaries. Thus, she missed the opportunistic attack of Vixxen & Grace on J.Ro and Suzanne, who fully capitalized on the distraction.

For much of the match, Golden Delicious circled the ring, avoiding confrontation but scoring with attacks of opportunity while breaking up any attempted pinfall or submission attempts. After a while, Grace took notice and, after flooring J.Ro with a snap DDT, began apparently stalking the stalker. Circling each other, Golden was apparently so intent on Grace that she never heard Autumn's shouted warning...before her legs were yanked from under her by an irate, now recovered Nina, and the two women commenced to brawling on the floor.

As the match began to heat up, a startling observation is made (Why is Vixxen not going for any pinfalls or even trying submissions?) which becomes increasingly apparent as the match begins to morph into a tag team affair. As Suzanne and Vixxen engage in a cat & mouse game of hold-counter-reversal, Joanne and Grace tear into each other with ferocity. All of a sudden, Golden Delicious slides into the ring on one side and out the other. Nina, giving chase, gets too close to a particular Latina Sensation and eats canvas, courtesy of a J-Rocker. As Golden Delicious and Autumn extol their own ingenuity, she catches sight of the disgusted look on the face of Victoria Stone. Berating the legend, they get into a war of words as the fans heckle the Aussie.

Back in the ring, Suzanne has Vixxen reeling on the ropes. Hitting the opposite ropes, she scores with a clothesline that takes both women out of the ring. Suzanne, on her feet first, slides back into the ring and rushes to Joanne's aid, who is stuck in the Salvation Sweep in the center of the ring. Stomping the hold free, she lifts Grace quickly and drops her with the Miracle Connection (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2v6OdV4rFw). As she stands to make the cover, Vixxen intercepts her and hits the Fall of Reason (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfpbEUqHoyk). But the earlier question is answered as Vixxen then grabs Grace's arm and drapes it over the still fallen form of Nina. Referee Isis falls and begins the count.
1...
Golden Delicious realizes what's going on and slides into the ring, grabbing the turning Vixxen...
2...
Golden Delicious hits the Melbourne Surprise on Vixxen...
3!!!
Saving Grace defeated Golden Delicious, Joanne Rodriguez, Suzanne Brazzle, Nina the Psycho Ballerina, and Vixxen when Saving Grace defeated Nina the Psycho Ballerina by pinfall.
Saving Grace wins the QAW World title.

Whoa! What was that all about?
It would appear that Vixxen and Saving Grace are in coots.
Cahoots, Thunder.
That makes no sense.
Welcome to American English sometimes.

As the pinfall is recorded, Golden Delicious rises with a twisted look of anger on her face. After a moment, she rolls her shoulders, and turns to stare intently at Victoria Stone.

Meanwhile, Vixxen and Sienna grab the world title and Saving Grace and the three women hurry backstage as Autumn berates Victoria and Golden slides out of the side of the ring and walks slowly, threateningly toward Victoria. No words, just slow, methodical movement and evil intentions. Never one to back down from a fight, Victoria stands up and takes off her jacket, just before Suzanne grabs Golden's shoulder and spins her around into a straight left hand, flooring her.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SuzanneBrazzle_alt1.jpg
However, she immediately paid for that as she is herself spun around, lifted and dropped with a Nina Hammer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5jNkncayPA) on the mats.

As Joanne gets up, she turns right into a Melbourne Surprise as Golden Delicious recovers and, with Autumn, begins to slowly retreat from the ringside area, pointing and mouthing threats at Victoria Stone.

Thank you for joining us for the GENESIS of women's wrestling. I'm Stacy Simmons alongside Melanie Florence and legendary 4 time world champion Thunder Hike...
Much better.
...hoping you'll join us as the new year begins and QAW Showcase launches. From all of us here at Queens of American Wrestling, good night!

NEXT: The After Party....

In the top post of this page, the light blue text can hardly be read. Had to sit and highlight it :p

EDIT: Now read it all, fantastic writing :)

[Yuu Onuki]

Absolutely momentous of all the moments I have done the seeing of.
I can not imagine the working time.
I can imagine jealousy of such a roster, I think.
I will say more after QAW party and the 5SSW show you have delayed with such wonderful motions... I find it difficult to read and write at the same time... no? :o

play .... play .... play .... Lizard far away ...

Sunday Week 4 November 2009 - 8:17pm

As the first wave of reviews hit the web, I was encouraged by the overwhelmingly positive feedback. While many of the criticisms were valid, I got the heat I expected from the sites with pronounced SWF bias. However, I didn't expect the glowing reviews we received from the international sites. Apparently, two of Australia's biggest wrestling sites lauded us for showcasing Oz talent (both in the ring and out). If that moron from Accounting questions the expense of flying in the Blondes and Stephanie, I'll shoot him a couple links.

Or just shoot him, one or the other.

* * *

"So what does the internet say?" is the first thing I hear as I enter the cafeteria, made up in formal banquet fashion.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SensationalOgiwara.jpg

It always surprises me how well Nana has come to know me in a relatively short time.

"They love us, thank goodness", the relief apparent on my face. "At least for now."

"For good, you'll see."

As I walk further into the room, someone grabs my arm and steers me to the side with, "How do you expect me to go back to Atlanta after all this?"
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb.jpg

"Uh, I don't understand...?"

"Of course you don't. You're not a wrestling promoter. All of this seems commonplace to you but it's not how wrestling promotions do things usually. As good as Sam is, it's not.....ALL THIS!"

"You're right, I'm not one of those ol' skool rasslin' promoters. I'm a businessman. In business, it's a good idea to take care of your cash cows. Your golden egg laying goose doesn't wind up on the dinner table or out in the trash. They get the best feed, the best exercise, and the best vet care. They're also compensated well. Given the fact that many of those ol' skool rasslin' promoters are now broke and unemployed or working for businessmen, that says to me that I'm not the one doing something wrong."

"You make a good point. Anne used to say..."

"STOP! If you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you would never mention that name in my presence again."

"Ouch! Sore spot, I take it? Well, if you don't like her so much, why not put her out of business? You probably could at this point."

"In due time, Sheri. In due time. A wise man once said, Anticipation of death is often worse than the death itself."

As I excused myself and walked around the room, it wasn't long before a partner cornered me with an idea.

"Down the line, you might want to consider a biopic or two."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AlexisBuffett.jpg

Following her gaze, I saw a group of men regaling an adoring audience with their road stories.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JohnnyMartin.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EricTyler.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/LFC%20Diary/Nemisis.jpg

"Which?"
"Campbell & Tyler. Martin's probably not a big enough name, and you can't MAKE him a big enough name under the circumstances."
"True. Would you direct?"
"Depends," she answered with a smirk. "Would you want me to direct?"
"Tell you what, have your people call my people..."
"Shut UP!," she said, laughing and punching me in the arm.

As I finally got to my seat, I noticed that I had been placed somewhat strategically, between two very attractive women.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VictoriaStone.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SakurakoKagawa_alt.jpg
Both leaning in conspiratorially, "We will share more," Kagawa said, more a statement than a question.
"Yeah, I've already gotten texts from a few of my girls. Word travels fast, especially when you let the local TV stations in for a tour."
"I don't have a problem with that. Just tell me who and we'll find something for them to do. Onscreen."
Having elicited smiles and nods, they turned back to their previous conversations, allowing me to survey the room. I noticed that Blake & Rick, the Blondes, had gravitated over to where the DaVE alums were holding court. Judging by the three vets looking at their watches, I surmised that some kind of meeting was being planned for another time. I also noticed somewhat of a AAA reunion as Cherry Bomb, Grace, Suzanne, J.Ro, Michelle, Jaime, Sara Marie, Vixxen, Devil's Daughter, Missy, Wendy, Zoe, the Brendons, Tsuki, and Mexi sat together and talked in animated fashion (breadsticks waving around like miniature lightsabers) with peals of laughter occasionally rising above the crowd buzz.

As I glanced through my menu, nearly choking a bit reading words like 'saffron' and 'halibut', and 'Romane Conti', I waited for the signal from the head waiter before moving to the podium and politely tapping my wine glass with my fork. With no notes (because I'm no politician), I said what I had to say:

"First, I'd like to say thank you to our guests, several of whom spent upwards of 20 hours on airplanes or in airports to be with us tonight. I'd like to thank my esteemed enablers, who made this not only possible, but probable. And though our formal relationship with USPW ends tonight, I don't think the film or the events that followed it would've been possible without confidence, cooperation, and resources of Sam Strong, Victoria Stone, Sakurako Kagawa, Catherine Quine, Honey Golightly, and Byron. I'd also like to give thanks from now until forever to my advisory staff. You all help me in more ways than you know, in all areas of this venture.

Now, tonight's show was good, very good. The feedback I've gotten so far leads me to believe that many were surprised it would actually turn out like it did. It's a good starting point...but not where we want to be. Heck, it's not where any of you want to be. Every one of you signed on with us because you wanted to be better than 'good' or even 'very good'. You wanted to be among the best. We'll get there, and fairly quickly. I watched every single match from beginning to end. I watched every angle. We have some serious talent assembled here. Whether you're on the QAW roster or LFC or WINNOW or PWC or LLX or CWS or WTW, we won't be hurting for talent anytime in the foreseeable future. Our jobs are to make sure each of you reaches your immense potential and we'll do that. Just remember that this is the beginning and only that. We have to keep moving forward, every single day. So, to you the assembled men and women who have witnessed the birth of Queens of American Wrestling, I have but one thing to say....

Welcome to the revolution."

Shortly after the applause began to fade, the food was served as I tried not to scrutinize what people ordered or ponder how much all of this would eventually cost....

I've been peaking in this thread every now and then to get ideas for my very (very, very) small women's division. If nothing else I grab alt renders I didn't have. :D

[Remianen]

Heh, I'm trying to get my (rather large) roster done so I can post the promo page for the first Showcase. I think I'm gonna skip the managers (all 22 of 'em :p) and just move forward. :)

[LoganRodzen]

Heh, I'm trying to get my (rather large) roster done so I can post the promo page for the first Showcase. I think I'm gonna skip the managers (all 22 of 'em :p) and just move forward. :)

And here I was thinking my 14 managers were a lot. :o

[Remianen]

Y'know, people often ask me why I've done certain things. Even people in my inner circle question certain moves I've made. Case in point:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BJONeill.jpg & http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HannahPotter.jpg
BJ O'Neill & Hannah Potter

I've had several members of my staff question signing them. When they left Supreme under bad terms, they were largely granted persona non grata status within the industry. No one wanted to run the risk of infuriating or inciting the ire of Dick Eisen. Given the legal action filed shortly after, their points of view seemed validated.

I think that's bull****.

I'm looking for talent. I don't care what other people say about you (go ask Olivia....or Christina), I don't care what you've done in the past (isn't that right, Emma?), what I care about is what you can do for us and how committed you are to succeeding in this business. So yeah, I signed BJ and Hannah, because they're beautiful, intelligent, talented, and strong. You have to be strong to stand up to the industry behemoth and demand respect. You have to be strong when you know doing so will cost you your livelihood. And yes, I'm offsetting the costs of their legal fees in addition to paying them extremely well for their services. Look all you want, you won't find anything in writing. Handshake deals still exist in this business, after all.

But one thing many people don't understand (including my advisors, until I pointed it out to them) is there are some things you can't put a price on. I have a roster full of teen and early 20s aged workers. I have a ton more in development, all over the world. Many of these girls have never worked professionally (or if they have, it was on the undercard of a hastily thrown together "indy" show in the parking lot of a shopping mall) and I'm expecting them to learn and be professionals in front of millions of people. I'm expecting them to deal with the travel and schedule demands that come with being a large promotion. It is invaluable to me to have a good number of consummate pros who have been in the business for years. It's even more valuable to have young workers who have done that as teenagers and who have weathered the hectic, nonstop schedule that an SWF tends to run. Yes, our facilities and methods are probably superior to those of Supreme (who don't own their own arena and don't provide the myriad of services we offer to our workers) but I need workers who can clue these young girls in to the fact that the way QAW does things is NOT how things are done in the industry as a whole (not by a long shot).

You can't put a price on that.

My point of view is validated by the events that occurred in the weeks leading up to our first foray into television. As I entered the training room, I see BJ & Hannah holding court, giving pointers to several of our workers on everything from ringside presence to backstage manners....to how to handle yourself when Mother Nature's Monthly Gift arrives when you're far from home. That last one gave me the heebie jeebies, though the info would be good to implement safeguards for.

Now, about that TV show......

The show opens, following an immense pyrotechnic display, with a video on the Queenscreen depicting the various goings on, primarily from Genesis. With Showcase's theme accompanying it, various sequences are featured: Kinuye Mushashibo's Dragonrana, Natural Selection by the Natural Blondes, Eric Tyler standing at the top of the ramp flanked by the Icons of Tradition, and finally a set of flashes of the Miracle Connection, the J-Rocker, J.Ro grimacing in the Salvation Sweep, the Melbourne Surprise on Vixxen, and finally, the Nina Hammer followed by a zooming, tight shot of Nina's crazed, maniacal facial expression quickly turning to one of confusion then contentment. The video fades to find a single person standing in the middle of the ring.

Miss Independent (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbrU_TbSD54) floods the arena with synthesizer chords as a stunning, exotic looking young woman comes out, to a loud reaction.

"Good! Now that there's someone in charge, I have a grievance. I would like to know exactly why, after beating the snot out of Ashley Grover in front of the world on pay per view, I'm forced to do the exact same thing, all over again, tonight. Is this groundhog day or what?"
"You know, when I took this job, people warned me that I'd have to deal with people like you."
"People like me? Whatever. Answer the question. Or is that above your modest pay grade?"
"Ooooo. My pay grade, eh? I'm sorry, I forgot that I was talking to a multi-time champion. Oh wait, no I'm not. Look, Ashley asked for a rematch. She said you beat her only because she was nervous. I can understand that because I was at Genesis and I was nervous as hell and I wasn't competing. So if you beat her so easily, there's no reason why you couldn't do it again, feel me?"
"And when I do, I expect you to treat me with some respect, hear me? And next week, I want that cheap imitation of a Shockwave champion."
"Look, come and see me when you've actually earned that respect. And I hope you're ready to back up your claims because your match? It starts...right.....NOW."

Ashley Grover vs Christina Charisma w/Lady Melissa

Ashley hits the ring in a sprint and goes right at Christina with a vengeance until Christina bails from the ring to catch a breather. But she gets no relief as Ashley hits the ropes and lands a somersault plancha, putting both women down. Slowly getting to her feet, Ashley grabs her opponent and after slamming her head on the apron twice, tosses her back into the ring and covers for a two count. Christina took control of the match following a thumb to the eye followed by a double leg takedown and a variety of leglocks, designed to ground the high flyer. Exercising some intelligence, Ashley rolled over while in an STS and got a 2 count before Christina rolled her back into position. Thinking her opponent out, Christina got up and played to the crowd before turning around, right into a dropsault for a 2 count. Angered now, she irish whipped Ashley to the ropes and dropped her with a tilt-a-whirl side slam. Signaling to the crowd for the end, she grabbed Ashley by the hair to set her up for the C-Cutter.....but was rolled into a cradle for the pinfall!
Winner: Ashley Grover
28

MAJOR win for Ashley!
Looks like they're even now.

Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta vs Olivia Diamond w/Willow

Back and forth affair between two surprisingly evenly matched talents that showcased their varied but developing skillsets. The match looked decided after JMB hit the Bowen Technique on Olivia but found no ref to count the pinfall as Willow was up on the apron arguing with Isis. The ref returned to the action just long enough to count the pinfall as Olivia dropped JMB with the Diamond Cutter.
Winner: Olivia Diamond

The camera cuts backstage as three women stand by with Remianen, obviously agitated.

Tayla starts out, "This is the age of tradition. As such, Brooke and I, the Icons of Tradition, should be the faces of the Twinstar division. Right now, that's not the case. Thus, we respectfully request an opportunity to rectify that."
Brooke adds, "Tay, who are you foolin'? We're not 'respectfully requesting' anything. You're the personification of the American Dream and I'm The Franchise. We don't have to request anything. The fact that we're not the very first Twinstar champions is ridiculous! We deserve to be the champions because of who we are, who we will be, and where we come from. So there's no choice in the matter. Every day we don't hold the gold is another day this company moves away from legitimacy!"
The crowd pops as another person steps into the frame.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"So, let me make sure I have this right. You two lose at Genesis, hell, "The Franchise" tapped out..."
The crowd can be heard chanting 'YOU TAPPED OUT'.
"...and you think that means you deserve a shot at the Twinstar titles? What is it with people here? You think you LOSE your way to the top? I have a question though. There is someone obviously missing from your little crew. Could it be the great Eric Tyler doesn't agree with people who have done NOTHING OF NOTE but lose, getting title shots?"
As Brooke and Tayla fume, Cheyenne looks at Brooke Dunn and asks, "And you? I know you're not here with them, are you?"
Visibly blanching, Brooke Dunn says, "Uh, no. I was just going to ask for a shot at the Shockwave title. I didn't actually lose at..."
"Fine, on LiveWire, you versus Kinuye Mushashibo, for the Shockwave title. Anything else?"
"Um, no. Thanks!"
"Now, you two will get a chance tonight to earn a possible shot at the Twinstar titles. Get down to the ring."
Seething, the Icons of Tradition make their way down to the ring, bristling at the 'YOU TAPPED OUT' chants as they await their opponents. They're not waiting very long before Hero hits and their opponents become known.

It looks like our new general manager means business!

The Super Powers w/Bethany Hurst vs The Icons of Tradition
Given the level of teamwork on display in this match, on both sides, the result was never a foregone conclusion as many may have thought, given the gap in respective skill levels. But after a hard fought match bound to impress many, the Icons walk away victorious after Brooke gets the Brooke Breaker locked in on Power Girl, forcing the submission.
Winner: The Icons of Tradition
67

"I like that Brooke Breaker. It is...very painful looking."
"Is it something that you could escape from?"
*snorts* "Of course!"

Girls Gone Wrestling w/BJ O'Neill vs Assault & Battery w/Clare South

Wary while dealing with the pair of powerhouses, Principessa and Amber tried hit & run tactics and wear down holds to tire their opponents. Just as the fruits of their collective labor began becoming apparent, the match descended into chaos as Recipe for Success hit the ring with Heather B and tee'd off on their Genesis opponents. Referee Isis threw the match out shortly after.
Winner: No one

The camera cuts to the backstage interview area as Remianen raises the mic to his lips and says, "Ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you, your QAW Twinstar champions, the Canadiennes!"
A pause and then a voice offscreen whispers, "Do it again!"
"Again? Okay, ladies and gentlemen, I bring to you, your QAW Twinstar champions, the Canadiennes!"
Two faces lean into the shot with mischievous grins spread across their features.

Canadian Angel leans in to the mic and says, "I'd like to correct Remianen on something. He forgot to add 'first ever' Twinstar champions. Because we are the alpha and the omega of the division. We are the best tag team this promotion has to offer and these shiny belts confirm that."
On the opposite side, Québécoise says, "Ouï, and no team, not call of doody, not anyone, will ever change zat."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Marianne.jpg
Marianne chimes in with, "So I guess you could say that the Canadiennes are the first, last, and ONLY Twinstar champions, ouï?"
In unison, the two women say, "Ouï".

Nina the Psycho Ballerina & Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson vs Affliction w/Persephone

Very chaotic match that saw one team operating like two halves of a whole while the other team seemed to annoy each other at every turn. Or rather, one member annoyed the other at every turn while the offensive member remained blissfully unaware of her annoying behavior. Every time Golden Delicious gained control of the momentum of the match, Nina blind tagged herself in and gave it right back. The final time it occurred, the look of rage on Golden Delicious's face made the next event somewhat predictable as she dropped Nina with a Melbourne Surprise before leaving the ring in disgust, Autumn in tow. As Michelle and Shooter looked on and shrugged, the Click-Click-Boom lead to the pinfall on Nina.
Winners: Affliction

Our main event is next as the Dream Team of Suzanne Brazzle and Joanne Rodriguez take on The Coven team of Vixxen and QAW World champion Saving Grace!

Old Friend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aRJZo4wGX78) hits and after a minute, Suzanne Brazzle and Joanne Rodriguez (with Hannah and Mercedes Gimenez in tow) emerge to a thunderous ovation.

Posing at the top of the ramp, several pyro explosions go off before they head down to and around the ring, greeting the fans, before entering the ring and climbing adjacent turnbuckles to await their opponents.

After a few minutes, the arena goes dark as a sedate organ intro plays before launching into Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_WDG8iLT1o#t=0m07s), as the stage is engulfed in fog as the Queenscreen fills with an image

A single spotlight shines on the center of the stage and as the fog clears, three women stand in the midst of the haze, seemingly oblivious to it.

As the fog clears, the sides of the stage emit gouts of flame as the three women proceed slowly down the ramp, regarding the fans with thinly veiled contempt (Saving Grace), revulsion (Sienna), and outright malice (Vixxen). Wearing the world title like a bandoleer across her chest, Grace makes sure the lights hit it just so, setting the diamonds in it off in a brilliant display, before handing it over to the ref.

The Dream Team w/Hannah & Mercedes Gimenez vs The Coven w/Sienna DeVille

Very even match between the best performers QAW has to offer. With quick tags and magnificent in-ring work encompassing ground work, flying, and straight up brawling, the match seemed on the verge of losing control as all four women brawled in the ring. As Vixxen and Suzanne spilled outside, Vixxen reversed a whip into the steel ring steps, sending Suzanne crashing into the unforgiving steel. Meanwhile, in the ring, as referee Isis continued to count, Grace sent J.Ro into the ropes where she was clobbered in the back by the world title belt, held by Sienna DeVille. As Hannah tried to get the ref to look, Mercedes took off after Sienna, chasing her up the ramp, while Grace set J.Ro up for Redemption. When she did, she realized after the referee refused to count, that she was not the legal person in the ring. Running to the corner, she yelled at Vixxen for the tag, re-entering the ring once it was made and making the cover on the semi-conscious J.Ro, pulling her tights to make sure.
Winners: The Coven
80

And The Coven steal another win.
Steal? I don't understand.
Did you not see Saving Grace with enough tights in her hands to fill a sock drawer?
I must have missed that.
Thank you everyone for joining us for QAW Showcase. Next week, we're sure to have another thrilling episode of women's wrestling action on tap for you! For Melanie Florence and Thunder Hike, I am Stacy Simmons. Good night!

Final rating: 78

Houston, TX - Queens of American Wrestling and YWAA USA have announced an agreement in principle for a two year sponsorship and site use partnership. The deal, which ensures that YWAA facilities will be the primary home for the production and broadcast of QAW's 'LiveWire' television program, will provide up to 150 free and discounted tickets for YWAA members in addition to heavily discounted site fees.

“More than any other entertainment vehicle, QAW has the potential to provide positive role models for today's young women” said Norma Janssen, PhD, YWAA USA CEO. “This agreement allows for us to ally ourselves with a force of positive reinforcement for young women not only in America, but the world over.”

In addition to the announced details, there are also personal appearances by various members of the QAW roster, primarily to speak to young girls at each visited center. There is also the hope that a successful venture in the US might lead to an extension that would encompass the World YWAA organization.

A statement released by the promotion states, "We are ecstatic to have reached an agreement to add to our burgeoning list of sponsors. More than that, we are beyond happy and extremely gratified that an organization so steeped in principles we hold so dear would be amenable to a partnership. Empowering women is what we do every day and we are very happy to have a home for LiveWire, the signature program for our developing young talent."


Queens of American Wrestling (QAW) is the premier women's wrestling promotion in the world, headquartered in Houston, TX. Established in 2009, the promotion is committed to developing women's wrestling and entertainment talent. With its believable characters and easy to understand plotlines, the promotion offers what has never been attempted before: a women's entertainment product centered around athletic competition with a decidedly female bent that does not pander to the lowest common denominator: objectifying its very subjects.

Young Womens Athletic Association (YWAA) is a national not-for-profit membership organization that provides social services, advocacy, education and leadership development. It is dedicated to eliminating sexism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all. Established in the United States in 1858, the YWAA is the oldest and largest national women’s organization, and celebrating its 152nd anniversary. Through its nearly 300 affiliated local YWAAs and its headquarters in Washington, D.C., the YWAA serves 4.5 million women and girls each year. It is a member of World YWAA, which is comprised of YWAAs in 102 countries around the globe.

Great show this week! It was more bite sized and of the manageable, no? Of course 'The Coven' is pure of all the greatness needed. They are like pirates... but only much better in important ways.

Stacy Simmons Eric Tyler Rebecca Richey

Good evening everyone and welcome to LIVEWIRE! I am Stacy Simmons alongside hardcore icon and eight time world champion Eric Tyler...
Got it on the first try. Very good.
....and the best damn color commentator to ever emerge from the bosom of the Commonwealth, Rebecca Richey...
Oi!
...and we have a great show for you tonight. The best young...what? Ladies and gentlemen, I'm being told we have an altercation occurring in our backstage area. Can we get a camera back there?

As a cameraman jerkily runs through the backstage area, he turns into a corridor to find two women throwing each other into whatever hard surfaces they can find.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MegumiNakajima.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/IkukoTemko.jpg

For several minutes, the women batter each other, throwing one another into a myriad of things before Ikuko hiptosses Megumi onto a ladder lying flat on the ground and tries to follow with a double leg drop, only to find no one there. Something catches Megumi's eye while Ikuko writhes in pain grabbing her hamstrings, and she moves over to a production equipment trunk and opens the lid. Grabbing her adversary, Megumi back suplexes her into the trunk with a hollow thud before slamming the lid down, just as security and various officials hit the scene. Breathing heavily and limping every so slightly with every step, Megumi walked down a hall and away from the carnage as Ikuko can be heard banging on the inside of the trunk.

What was that about? We know that Seek & Destroy and the Crush girls don't particularly care for each other but what precipitated that dust-up?
Combustible elements would be my guess. Traditionally, that's the cause.
This is bound to add a new layer of intensity to our first match!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HuntressMakiko.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Krystyna.jpg vs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MartinaBaker.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Monique.jpg
Huntress Makiko w/Krystyna vs Martina Baker w/Monique

As the match got underway, it was plain to see Martina surreptitiously glancing at the stage every so often. Even with those momentary distractions, she managed to grab control of the match and pull off some exciting offense. But just as she signaled for the Candle in the Wind and grabbed Makiko into the headlock, she found herself on the receiving end of the Tokyo Express. A bow and arrow gesture was immediately followed by the Makiko Clutch for the submission victory.
Winner: Huntress Makiko

Pixie Pinwheel vs Lady Caramel w/Jasmine Perlot

Pixie came out on fire, hammering the champion from any and all conceivable angles. But as expected, the match hinged on one drastic shift in momentum when Pixie hit the ropes for a springboard flying forearm and Lady Caramel caught and flowed with her before dropping her with an emphatic tilt-a-whirl side slam. Never one to pass up on an opportunity, Lady Caramel sought to permanently ground the flyer with a kneebreaker, followed by several stiff kicks to her right hamstring. Thoroughly satisfied with her work as Pixie lay writhing, holding her leg, the champion signaled for the end with a tip of an imaginary c0cktail glass, before planting the challenger with the Cosmopolitan Driver for the successful title defense.
Winner: Lady Caramel
43

That young lady is going to be dangerous sooner rather than later.
But don't forget that Pixie gave her fits for much of the match.

Brooke Dunn w/Aurora vs Kinuye Mushashibo w/Chloe Dean

An even contest that swung back and forth on several occasions. While there were times where it seemed a new champ would be crowned, the end was produced by the champion slithering out of the Well Dunn, hitting the ropes and connecting with a running boot to the face. Ascending the closest turnbuckles, she sat on the top rope waiting for her adversary to rise and finished her with the Blue Dream.
Winner: Kinuye Mushashibo

The camera cuts backstage to a door with a 'GENERAL MANAGER' placard on it. Two women approach and knock as the camera pulls back.

"Come in."
The door opens to find Cheyenne sitting at her desk, crystal blue eyes fixed warily on the pair as they enter.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
Holding up her hands defensively, Lady Melissa says, "Peace, Cheyenne. We're not here to cause any trouble. We just saw something that we thought you might be interested in."

Nodding at them to sit, Cheyenne beckons them to continue.

"Well, we were on the beach gettin' some color..."

Christina harrumphs.

"...well, I was gettin' some color. Chrissy's got plenty already. Anyway, you wouldn't believe who we saw there!"

Christina interjects, "And since you're probably looking for an opponent for the main event, I figured she would be perfect, given her stature."

"And who exactly would you be referring to?"

They both lean in and whisper to Cheyenne and the reaction is easily apparent as her eyes pop open.

"She's here? You saw her?"

"Yup. And this place isn't anywhere near the size of the Q so finding her shouldn't be a problem."

Moments later, Lady Melissa and Christina leave the GM's office and, giving each other Cheshire cat grins, fistbump and walk toward the locker room.

We're taken ringside as the QAW Twinstar champions are in the ring, eagerly awaiting their opponents. After a moment, New Sensation fills the arena, heralding the arrival of The Commonwealth and Ceri Dordevich. The champs look relieved and even a bit amused as the young team confers on the stage before sprinting down the ramp and into the ring!

The Commonwealth w/Ceri Dordevich vs The Canadiennes w/Marianne

The match starts off with all four women in the ring until referee Isis gets two women out. As Jessie and Québécoise face off, it's apparent that the champions are taking their opponents lightly. However, with each exchange, it appears the challengers pick up ever more momentum. With quick tags on both sides (out of amusement for the champions, habit for the challengers), the balance shifts every so subtly. When Québécoise counters an attempted flying double axe handle by catching Jessie with an overhead belly to belly suplex, she does a little dance, mocking her fallen opponent. That is, until the sprightly lass popped to her feet and hit the Kiwi Krunch. A sure pinfall was broken up by Canadian Angel. A quick tag to Lexi and a mischievous grin to the Angel led to the Swooping Hawk. But unbeknownst to Lexi, Canadian Angel had blind tagged herself in so the ref wouldn't count the pinfall. Rushing the corner to knock Jessie off the apron, Canadian Angel got down to business, dismantling Lexi before finishing her with the Canadian Destroyer.
Winners: The Canadiennes

The Icons of Tradition make their way down the ramp and as they get into the ring, Eric Tyler stands at the announce table.

"Girls, while you know I didn't agree with your little diatribe a few nights ago, I figured it was your inexperience talking. I told you two, you don't start woofin' for title shots until you've beaten somebody. So, as is my job as a father, as an uncle, as well as a manager, I've lined up someone for you to try to beat. This could be a piece of cake or it could be your wake-up call. You decide which it is...."

Shortly after sitting down, he looks to his left and mutters an oath. Brooke and Tayla follow his eyes and their faces fall in unison:

As a handheld camera picks up the three women seated at ringside, they smile and wave before smirking at the two women in the ring. Just as it seems things couldn't get any worse, Hero plays and Brooke goes ballistic, yelling at her father who simply turns his hands up and shrugs.

The Super Powers w/Bethany Hurst vs The Icons of Tradition

Despite spending the first part of the match frazzled and shaken (and constantly checking a trio of ringside spectators), Brooke and Tayla managed to lose themselves in the flow of things. While obviously trying to avoid taking the brunt of any of their opponents' offense, they still managed to get caught quite a few times, requiring a save from the other. Finally, just after the 11 minute mark, Tayla rocked Amazing Lass and knocked her off the apron with an enzuigiri before turning to avoid a charging Power Girl. Tagging Brooke, the two women waited for Power Girl to extricate her shoulder from the ring post before launching (and dropping) her with a Weight of Tradition.
Winners: The Icons of Tradition

Marchin' On plays and Docent, Outrider, Call of Duty, comes out accompanied by Rachel Dearheart. Saluting the fans, they run down the ramp and slide into the ring to a rousing ovation. As they hit all four turnbuckles, making the universal belt motion, they cheers turn to immense boos as Cryin' Like A Bitch starts up. Clare South comes out, flanked by Emma and Viv, and fixes a look of disgust on the fans lining the ramp. Escorting her charges to the ring, she fixes the opposing team with a look of undisguised malice and leans over to say something to her team. As referee Isis begins checking all four competitors, the small arena erupts as Miss Independent starts to play. Feigning surprise at the reaction, Cheyenne comes out with a mic in hand.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"Yes yes, I know you want to rip the hide off each other and I'm going to allow you to do that. In fact, I'm going to give you a reason to do that. Cuz y'see, the winner of this match will go on to face the Canadiennes in three weeks at QAW Revolution, for the Twinstar titles!"

The crowd erupts at the revelation as the GM is played off and the match gets underway.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EmmaBitch.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VivJacobs.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ClareSouth.jpg vs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Docent.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Outrider.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/RachelDearheart.jpg
Assault & Battery w/Clare South vs Call of Duty w/Rachel Dearheart

Brains (and speed) versus brawn, in illustrated form. Docent and Outrider worked to keep their distance from the powerful pair, while repeatedly hitting them with quick attacks before retreating. Emma & Viv tried their best to get their hands on the fleet duo, landing a variety of big slams and suplexes when they did. The turning point came during an exchange outside the ring as Viv chased Docent and looked ready to grab her before falling victim to a drop toe hold, her head bouncing off the steel ring steps. With Outrider finally having gotten the better of Emma, she signaled to the crowd for Shock & Awe. Dropping her with the Shock, she pointed to Docent perched on the top rope for the Awe. The pinfall was almost anticlimactic.
Winners: Call of Duty

The ring is prepared for the main event as the Queenscreen shows Christina Charisma and Lady Melissa backstage in armchairs watching a huge flatscreen TV. Another fistbump exchange and a synchronized pair of smirks into the camera and then we cut to an arena shot when Excuse Me Mr starts up and the crowd reacts to the entrance of Ashley Grover. She moves down the ramp slapping hands with the fans before vaulting over the top rope and hitting the turnbuckles pumping her fists.

After a moment her theme dies down to be replaced by Miss Independent as once again General Manager Cheyenne comes out.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"You know, I had initially had a person in mind to face you, Ash. But I was given a heads up on someone else being available and, well, this was too good to pass up. Good luck, Ash."

She makes several encouraging gestures to Ashley before ducking behind the curtain. Shortly after the GM disappears from view, as Ashley limbers up in the ring, So Cold starts up as Autumn Gleeson and a visibly tanned Golden Delicious come out.

A camera backstage catches Christina & Lady Melissa's reactions...

Christina: "G'day, Ash!"
Lady Melissa: "Wot say I break ya in half, yeah?"

...before collapsing in laughter.

OH NO!
This should be either a good match...or a bloodbath.
Bets on the latter?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GoldenDelicious.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AutumnGleeson.jpg vs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AshleyGrover.jpg
Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson vs Ashley Grover

Ashley took the fight courageously to the unstable Golden Delicious. After two near falls, the Aussie vet rolled out of the ring for a breather, sizing up her opponent as the crowd heaped abuse on the woman whose skin tone now matched her name very well. Back in the ring, the two women engaged in a dangerous game of one-upsmanship. That is, until Ashley's relative inexperience caught up to her as she went up top for the Chicago Hope and was plucked out of the air with a seemingly instantaneous Melbourne Surprise.
Winner: Golden Delicious
51

The show fades with the image of Golden Delicious staring straight into the camera, making a belt motion around her waist.


Final rating: 52

Post Show


"Don't sweat it, ladies. This was a good first run. As you become more well known and more comfortable in front of the camera, the quality of LiveWire's shows will improve rapidly. In fact, that's why I've decided to base LiveWire in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. You all need to relax and let things come to you more naturally. Beaches tend to have that effect."

I waited until the cheering died down.

"Now, one thing you'll have to keep in mind is that starting February, having "headliners" appear here will be rare. So you ladies have three more shows to find a rhythm before crunch time hits."

I scanned the room and made note of the various expressions I saw, running the gamut from hesitant to excited before I finally said what most everyone was waiting to hear.

"Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got a date with some 14-foot waves."

As the squeals and hollers rose up, I had to add, "Remember, flight to Houston leaves Saturday morning!"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
Miss Independent starts up and the camera cuts to the ring where General Manager Cheyenne is standing by with a mic.

"Cut my music. Good evening QAW fans and welcome to Showcase!"

The crowd pops as the camera pans around the audience stopping briefly on a fan holding a sign that says "I PAID TO SEE BRAZZLE" before returning to the GM.

"I won't be here too long, I just wanted to let you know that we're going to have a little mini-tournament to decide who will go on to Revolution to face the QAW World champion, Saving Grace. Tonight, the Latina Warrior, Joanne Rodriguez faces off with the enigmatic Golden Delicious and in our main event, Vixxen faces off with the Miracle Blonde, Suzanne Brazzle. Next week's Showcase main event will be the winners of those two matches with the winner of that match going on to Revolution to face Saving Grace for the QAW World title!"

As the crowd reacts to that news, she continues, "This is in addition to the QAW Twinstar title match in which the current reigning QAW Twinstar champions, the Canadiennes defend against Docent and Outrider, Call of Duty."

Her music hits again and she makes her way to the back, gladhanding the fans along the ramp.

What happens if Vixxen goes on to win both matches? Does that gives us a Coven vs Coven matchup?

Good question and one we'll have at least partially answered after tonight!

Megumi Nakajima w/Monique vs Sakura Sada

What began as an even affair took a marked turn after one chain wrestling sequence, Sada punctuated it with a slap. After a moment trying to figure out if what she thought just happened actually did, Nakajima took Sada to school, ending the match with the Nakajima Straight Jacket.
Winner: Megumi Nakajima

While Pixie gave Christina fits in the earlygoing, this was exactly what it looked like as, after one too many trips to the high rent district left the Pixie dazed and soon after, locked in the Charisma Clutch for the quick submission.

I'm standing by with Generation XX champion Lady Caramel and the lovely Jasmine Perlot and...

See, this is another example of the disrespect I have to put up with. Why is Jasmine the only 'lovely' one? I am the Generation XX champion and the hottest property in this promotion. Quiet as it's kept, I'm also the next Shockwave champion since this promotion needs champions who defend their titles regularly. Well, that and champions who excite the crowd and give them a reason to tune in. We don't need boring.....

The crowd pops as the camera zooms out to find what stopped Lady Caramel midsentence...

...as QAW Shockwave champion "Baby Blue" Kinuye Mushashibo steps into the frame, followed by Chloe Dean.

Boring?
Yes, boring. Your matches are like Lunesta, with similar effects.
Hmm, I wonder, how many times have you defended that title?
More than you've defended that one. But don't worry too much, I'll be taking it off your hands soon enough.
Okay, how's tonight sound?
What? I'm not prepared to...
Tonight. In fact, right now. I'll meet you in the ring.
But...you can't....

Lady Caramel w/Jasmine Perlot vs Kinuye Mushashibo w/Chloe Dean

A back and forth affair that on several occasions almost proved Lady Caramel prophetic. But that was before an enzuigiri completely turned the tide as Baby Blue took to the air like a Blue Angel. A dropsault put Lady Caramel on the mat long enough for an ascent to the top where the Blue Dream ended the affair.
Winner: Kinuye Mushashibo

Grabbing various backstage staff, she repeats the question several times, throwing the person aside when they claim ignorance. She comes across a pair of women standing talking and grabs one of them.

"I don't...."
"Why are you in wrestling gear? You wanna fight? HUH? YOU WANNA FIGHT ME?!?"
Not waiting for an answer, she floors the young woman with a left hand, grabs her by the hair and drags her to the ring.

Affliction w/Persephone vs Recipe for Success w/Heather B

While a balanced affair at first, the match began to turn in the less experienced team's favor after a leg lariat by Gina caught Michelle flatfooted, leading to a near fall. From there, they managed to keep Michelle isolated in their corner, using quick tags to wear her down. A rolling wheel kick by Michelle laid both her and Keisha out until the count of six. Keisha, eager to press the advantage and restore her team's momentum, hit the ropes and charged, only to fall victim to an overhead belly to belly throw that got Michelle pounding the mat, seemingly looking for the Crossface. As Keisha warily moved in, she fell for the ruse as Michelle forward rolled and lunged into her corner, finally getting Shooter in. Clean house? Why yes, yes she did. Very effectively, in fact. The KO Kick put an end to the proceedings.
Winners: Affliction

"You will tell your client to lay down, if you have her best interests at heart."
"What?"
"If she wishes to have a lengthy career, she would do well to avoid any confrontation with the Savior. There are forces at work here that are beyond your simple understanding."
"Whatever. Just tell your "savior" to be ready. Whether it's J.Ro or Suzanne, she won't be leaving Revolution as the QAW World champion."
Baring her fangs threateningly at Hannah, Sienna hisses at her causing her to flinch and turn away and when she turns back, Sienna is gone. Visibly shaken, she enters the locker room and, at first sight of her, Suzanne says jokingly, "What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost."
"Worse. Much worse."

Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson vs Joanne Rodriguez w/Mercedes Gimenez

With both competitors wary of each other, this match progressed slowly, as both women remained cautious, not wanting to be the one to make the fatal mistake. After a while, the pace picked up as each woman made it apparent by her actions that she wanted that title shot, badly. Just after the 15 minute mark, J.Ro took complete control after a series of japanese arm drags was followed with a russian leg sweep and double leg drop. She signaled to the crowd she was feelin' it........before the lights went out.

As the sound of rolling thunder reverberated throughout the arena, the potlights over the stage flickered to life as Savior began booming through the auditorium.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpg
A minute later, a figure emerges onto the stage, laughing eerily, before the lights flicker out for a moment and then come up again.

As J.Ro shivers her discomfort away, she apparently doesn't hear the crowd's warning until too late, and doesn't see her opponent on all fours, lying in wait. She will undoubtedly see the replays later because in the moment, she turns around.......and falls victim to a Melbourne Surprise.
Winner: Golden Delicious
75

My God, what does J.Ro have to do to catch a break here?
She must remain focused on the task at hand, let nothing distract her from forcing her opponent to submit.
Or pinning her...
....or.....that.
But it certainly seems to me that, for whatever reason, the QAW World champion wants nothing to do with Joanne Rodriguez.
For good reason.....

Vixxen w/Sienna DeVille vs Suzanne Brazzle w/Hannah

Another match that started off slow and ramped up after a while. While both women are suitably skilled on the mat, Brazzle chose to press her area of advantage over her opponent by taking to the air on several occasions. A few times, Vixxen tried for the Fall of Reason, only to have her opponent slip out or creatively counter the move.

As the fifteen minute mark came and went, the action ramped up significantly. Vixxen catches Brazzle off a crossbody attempt and flips her over into a samoan drop. The lazy pin only gets her two. Climbing to the top for the first time in the match, she scores with a flying headbutt but only gets another two count. Baring her fangs and hissing, she grabs Brazzle by the hair and lifts her up, only to get rolled into a small package for a two count. Incensed, Vixxen grabs Brazzle and drags her to her feet and, snarling viciously at her, spins her around for the Fall of Reason but again Brazzle counters and irish whips Vixxen to the far side. Telegraphing a backdrop attempt, she baits Vixxen just enough so the disciple of vampirism tries for a sunset flip. Too late she realizes her error as Brazzle raises up and catches her draped across her back in perfect position. As she walks into the center of the ring, Sienna at ringside screams as Hannah pounds the mat....and the Miracle Connection...well, connects. The crowd counts with referee Isis as Brazzle hooks one leg and drapes a leg over the other....

"So this week?"

"Probably not."

"Then when?"

"Not exactly sure. Depends on a lot of lines coming together to make for a perfect moment."

"Lines? What the hell are you on about?"

"Nevermind. Just gimme some time."

"I hope you have plans and not some crap about lines."

"Yes, I do. Payoff will be next year."

"NEXT YEAR? I didn't sign up for a payoff next year!"

"I remember differently. I asked you to trust me and what did you say? Oh, I remember now, "based on what you've done with Jo and Grace and Suz, not to mention Michelle and JQ, I'd be a fool not to." Has something changed since then?"

"No but...I dunno, a year is a really long time."

"Exactly!"

"What? Exactly what?"

"Nevermind."

The show opens with Lady Caramel and Jasmine in the ring. As the opening theme dies down (and the crowd voices their displeasure), she says:
"Listen, I don't care what you people think of me. I'm out here to conduct some business! Two days ago, I was cheated out of a proper challenge for the Shockwave title. I had no time to prepare and the so-called champion took advantage of that to surprise me. And so, I'm here to request, no, not request, demand a rematch that I feel I deserve! So if our general manager will come out here and make the match, we can get started!"
A minute passes with no response as the crowd waits expectantly.
"Come on out Cheyenne. I'm not leaving this ring until you do."
After a few more moments, Cryin' Like A Bitch hits and out come Clare South flanked by Assault (Emma Bitch) and Battery (Viv Jacobs).

"If you value your continued health, you'll get your skinny ass out of that ring, right damn now."
After a moment of defiant hesitation, Lady Caramel and Jasmine bail from the ring as Clare and her team begin walking down the ramp. As they get to the ring, Miss Independent begins to play and Cheyenne walks out onto the stage.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"First things first, welcome everyone to LiveWire!", prompting a pop from the crowd. "Now that our guests have been properly welcomed, let's take care of some business. Lady Caramel, get real. You got your shot, you lost, move on. Prepare for your next title defense. Clare, what's your beef?"
"You booked a match for tonight that I find insulting. I mean come on, superheroes? Why don't you give us a challenge? You're going to force us to crush the hopes and dreams of little kids (and their fathers) everywhere when we destroy their role models. Why not give us the Blondes? At least when we crush them, no one will care."
"Tell you what, win the match first and then come see me. Until then, the match is on.
"But that doesn't...."
"Play my music, please."
As Clare fumes in the ring and Lady Caramel fumes outside it, Cheyenne waves to the crowd and ducks behind the curtain.

Ikuko Temko w/Krystyna vs Megumi Nakajima w/Monique

Quick opening match that saw Ikuko take the fight to Meg, using her power advantage. That is, until Megumi ducked under a lariat attempt and scored with a big back kick, allowing her to take her opponent to the mat. The Nakajima Straight Jacket followed two minutes later.
Winner: Megumi Nakajima

Jeri Behr vs Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta

Rather short but spirited contest that showcased Jeri's acrobatic ability and JMB's experience advantage. Seemingly able to predict what her opponent would do a second before she did it, JMB watched Jeri crash and burn on several occasions. After rolling out of the way of a corkscrew somersault legdrop attempt, the Bowen Technique put the kibosh on any upset chance.
Winner: Jana Marie Bowen

The camera cuts to an interview area where interviewer Remianen is standing by with Ashley Grover, General Manager Cheyenne, and an annoyed looking Christina Charisma with Lady Melissa, obviously bored.

"Cheyenne, I know you're busy but I thought this was the best way to go about things. See, Christina here doesn't like me much..."
"That's an understatement..."
"...and I'm not too particular about her either. We've beaten each other once each so that doesn't solve the problem. But I don't know how things are done in Virginia or wherever, but back home in the Chi, we settle things once and for all."
"Is there a point to this rambling?"
"Well yeah, I propose we meet one last time, at Revolution. Falls count anywhere. Let's see what you got."
"That actually sounds really good...."
"What I got? Little girl, don't you realize that I'm the future of this company? How is beating you, again I might add, going to prove anything but what we already know? That I'm better than you on my worst day."
"Well, let's hope you can at least muster a 'worst day' come Revolution because the match.......is on!"
"Whatever. Though I don't know how wise it is to book squash matches on pay per view."

Brooke Dunn w/Aurora vs Amber Allen w/BJ O'Neill

With Amber taking Brooke to school on the mat and really wearing her down, eight minutes into the match, Brooke managed to score with a springboard back elbow that stunned Amber long enough for a stiff kick to the mush and a knee drop to buy her less seasoned opponent time for a breather. As she conferred with Aurora, who was constantly berating referee Isis, someone came in from the crowd.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/KeishaMurrell.jpg
With Amber rising to her feet, her unseen assailant sized her up and put her back down with the Fame Dropper before sliding out of the ring again. The opportunistic Brooke slid back into the ring and the Well Dunn gave her the "upset" win as Keisha, leaning against the apron out of sight of the official, counted along with her.
Winner: Brooke Dunn

Remianen cuts a promo backstage hyping the announced matches for QAW Revolution on the last Sunday in January, only on Pay Per View! Video plays showing the events after the Twinstar four-way match where Call of Duty made their intentions clear, as well as highlights from the #1 contender's match. He touches on the rivalry between Christina Charisma and Ashley Grover, along with a clip of tonight's show where General Manager Cheyenne makes the match for Revolution. And finally, he narrates video footage of the match at Genesis followed by the #1 contender mini-tournament set to culminate at the next Showcase where either Golden Delicious or Suzanne Brazzle will go to Revolution to face QAW World champion Saving Grace for the title! As always, he mentions, more matches will be added to the card in the next two weeks.

Immediately afterward, Remianen is joined by Keisha Murrell and Gina Heaton, Recipe for Success, with their manager Heather B.

Remi: "Good evening, ladies. Now, I'm sure many of our fans are wondering what that was all about..."
Keisha: "What? Me giving Amber Allen the drop of fame? Well, it's real simple-like. We want her and her nanny at Revolution."
Gina: "And we're going to make their lives hell until they agree to it."
Heather B: "And that's real. Let's bounce."

The Natural Blondes w/Blonde Bombshell vs Recipe for Success w/Heather B

What made this match stand out was not the teamwork on display by both teams (which was exceptional) but the difference in impact between the Greenway sisters. With Saffron easily the stiffer and powerful (not to mention more excitable) of the duo, the match hinged on whether she would see more than just token ring time. With Gina and Keisha successfully keeping Amber isolated, the turning point occurred when Amber managed to roll out of the way of a running knee strike from Gina in the corner and elude Keisha's grasp before diving to tag her sister. Saffron, in no mood to play around, lit Gina up with a series of stiff Japanese chops, leaving her opponent's chest beet red before flooring her with a shortarm clothesline. When Keisha tried to run in, she found herself sailing out of the ring, the recipient of a Top of the Food Chain (Throwing crucifix powerbomb/Border Toss) before a seemingly opportunistic Gina was waylaid by a returning Amber. Natural Selection indeed, as the Blondes prevail.
Winners: The Natural Blondes

Amber: "Losing sucks, but I guess you two already know that. But unlike you two, I didn't lose fair and square tonight, did I? Oh no, my opponent had help."
BJ: "Our dance card appears clear for Revolution."
Principessa: "Not anymore. You two want us at Revolution, live around the world on pay per view? You got us. We'll see how much you've learned since the last time we beat you."
Amber: "Fair and square, I might add."

The Super Powers w/Bethany Hurst vs Assault & Battery w/Clare South

True to their word, Emma and Viv set out with one goal in mind: hurting their opponents. Egged on by Clare, who shouted instructions from ringside, seemingly at every turn, a power move was being executed. The hero team mounted a comeback as Amazing Lass landed a jawbreaker on Emma and beckoned her to rise as she signaled for the Lass-O but found her more experienced opponent had her scouted and, after ducking under, sprang off the ropes with a shoulderblock that floored both women. As Emma made the tag to a ferally grinning Viv, the Lass found herself in dire straits. But the pure animalistic rage of Viv worked against her team as she refused to allow her opponent out of the corner, choosing instead to punish her with repeated shoulders to the midsection. After a 5 count and an aggressive glare when she tried to intervene, referee Isis signaled for the disqualification.
Winners: The Super Powers

Olivia Diamond w/Willow vs Ashley Grover

Fast paced and reasonably intense, both women tried to make an impression. Olivia found herself warned on a few occasions about hitting with closed fists, to which she feigned innocence. It was the last of these occasions, as Willow berated the ref for 'bias' that the match turned.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ChristinaCharisma_Clarity.jpg
Running down the ramp, out of view of the official, Christina Charisma slid in and spun her adversary around and down with the C-Cutter, using her momentum to slide clear out of the ring. Olivia, having now apparently settled her differences with the official, nonchalantly lifted her opponent to her feet before dropping her with the Diamond Cutter. The ref could've counted to 12 but three sufficed.
Winner: Olivia Diamond

Christina Charisma w/Lady Melissa vs Principessa w/BJ O'Neill


Unlike the match that preceded it, this match had a cohesive flow. Principessa went hold for hold with her more mat oriented opponent, and matched up well in that respect. What gave her a significant advantage however, was her ability to take to the air when the situation called for it, and completely engulf her opponent. However, as the 15th minute came and went, it became apparent that this match might not be decisively completed.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GinaHeaton.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/KeishaMurrell.jpg
With Lady Melissa on the apron arguing in animated fashion with the ref, Recipe for Success practically flew down the ramp and fell upon Principessa like a pack of wild dogs. After ducking a wild swing by the veteran, the two women laid her out with the high-low move they call Cookin' With Gas. Just as they attempted to leave the ring, they found the path to the ramp obstructed....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AmberAllen.jpg
Glancing at each other, they each bolted in a different direction, vaulted the security barrier and fled through the crowd. Not sure who to pursue, Amber stayed at ringside, pounding the mat as Christina made the lazy cover. At the last moment, Principessa kicked out, sending Christina over the edge, yelling at the ref about a slow count. Slowly lifting her opponent to her feet, she looked set to hit the C-Cutter for the second time tonight but the veteran Principessa rolled with it and at the last possible second, dropped her hips, lifted and slammed her opponent. Feeding off the crowd, she took a chop from Christina and, reversing the attempted irish whip, lifted her into position and turning slightly, hit the Princess Drop.
Winner: Principessa

As we all got comfortable in the viewing room to review the first four shows, a few things began to stand out.

"She's getting a lot of heat." As usual, Sensational Ogiwara was the first to pipe up.

"Yeah, um, isn't it great?"

"That's not good heat," Thunder Hike said with a frown.

"That's Vin Tanner heat." added Eric Tyler.

"Change the channel or go have a fag heat," Melanie put in.

"Yeah, I was hoping you wouldn't notice."

A chorus of laughter rolled around the room.

"Kinda hard to miss," Tyler noted, with a smirk. "You're going to have to do something about her."

"Maybe, but what?"

"You could send her down....," Ogiwara offered.

"Down where? There are no available spots anywhere. Sara Marie has all she can handle keeping their roster active. Tsuki's got all the people she needs. LLX just got bigger and Cuervo's got enough workers to stay busy when they grow again! Marcy's full up after she picked up Wade and Blake like I asked. And if I send another worker to Austin, John's going to fly up here and kick my ass himself! No one's ready to come up yet either. I have enough development prospects on the roster as it is."

"Judi...." Melanie suggested. "She doesn't have nearly enough to start running shows yet."

"You must do something. You cannot let her partner wither and die on the vine because of her," was the response from Thunder Hike.

"She might fit John's product better though," Tyler pointed out.

"I'll talk to John and Mariah and see which one wants her."

"We all know she's one of your pet projects. But sometimes, you have to let go and look at the bigger picture," Ogiwara said.

"Hrmph. Okay, what else have we got?"

Stacy Simmons Melanie Florence Thunder Hike


Stacy: Good evening everyone and welcome to SHOWCASE! I've been told that tonight will be a night of surprises and revelations leading up to Revolution.
Melanie: Indeed, not the least of which will be who will be facing QAW World champion Saving Grace at Revolution.
Thunder: I have a feeling that is not the only surprise we will be party to, this night.
Stacy: Well, no use in delaying it then. Let's send it down to Remi in the ring!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWbanner.jpg

As the opening pyro subsides and the theme fades, the lights go out. After a moment, it becomes apparent why as Savior begins to play and footlights give the arena an eerie half-glow. After a moment, a pair of feet become apparent at the top of the ramp. The lights raise just enough to show who it is.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Vixxen.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpg
"Hmm, that's odd. Where is the champion?"
As the two women walk down the ramp, silhouetted in shadow, the lights begin to rise again, until the two women get to the ring. At that moment, the lights go out for a breath and when they come back up, Sienna and Vixxen flank Remianen and an additional woman stands behind him, leaning casually on the ropes, the QAW World title draped across her chest like a bandolier.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GraceHarper_jhd2.jpg
"I don't think I will ever get used to that."
As he turns around, he is immediately startled by the apparent sudden appearance of the QAW World champion, Saving Grace. Visibly shaken, he gathers his wits and, after a surreptitious glance to his left and his right, proceeds with the interview.
Remi: Grace, if I may call you that...
Grace: You may not.
Remi: Then what...?
Grace: You may call me Wonderful Couns....no, I don't like that one. You may refer to me as the Spirit of Salvation or Savior....
Remi: I think I'll call you Saving Grace...
Grace: ...or that.
Vixxen hisses, baring her fangs at the insolent tone of Remi's response.
Grace: Peace, Vixxen. He is hardly worth the time or effort. Their labels have no power over us. Indeed, they are the shackles that constrain their spirits.
Remi: Uh, okay. Well, tonight you will find out as soon as we do who your opponent will be at Revolution. Do you have a preference?
Grace: It doesn't matter.
Remi: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Sienna: Why does that not surprise me?
Grace: Peace, Sienna. We must remember to never belittle the feeble-minded. They require understanding and patience, not scorn. Now, to perhaps try to help you understand, I will say it again, this time slower. It. Doesn't. Matter. Whoever my opponent is, they will be given the opportunity to repent and accept salvation. Should they choose to decline, I will rebuke them. Vigorously.
As Remi prepares to ask another question, the Queenscreen alights with a strange image that has the audience murmuring in confusion:
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vheMdBBUpoo&hl=en_US&fs=1&showinfo=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vheMdBBUpoo&hl=en_US&fs=1&showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

Grace: What foolishness is this?
Remi: I don't....
Grace: Enough! Know this: whoever earns the privilege of standing across the ring from me at Revolution, will have the opportunity to accept salvation or face damnation. This industry has been crying out for redemption and its pleas were heard and I was called. There is nothing that will separate me from my calling.

With that, Vixxen and Sienna place their arms protectively around the champion and as the lights flicker and die, Savior begins to play once again and when the lights come back up, Remi is standing in the ring alone.

Stacy: What the heck is that about?
Melanie: I was going to ask you the same thing!
Thunder: It would appear the champion is confident in her ability to defeat either of her possible opponents.
Stacy & Melanie: ????
Stacy: Thunder, we mean the timer on the Queenscreen.
Thunder: Why worry about it? I would assume our answers will come in....7 minutes or so?
Melanie: You mean you're not the least bit curious?
Thunder: Yes, I am. However, we will have the answers we seek when the timer reaches zero. At least there is reason to believe that. Thus, my concern is not well placed.
Stacy: I swear, Thunder Hike is as cool as the other side of the pillow.

Electric Youth vs The Icons of Tradition w/Eric Tyler

A quick match to debut the new low card team. After a fast paced, back and forth affair to allow the new team to show some fire, Tayla knocked Pixie off the apron with a back kick out of nowhere then, beckoning Brooke in, put Kuniko down with the Weight of Tradition.
Winner: The Icons of Tradition

As the countdown winds down into the single digits, the crowd goes utterly silent, finally counting in unison...."FIVE FOUR THREE TWO ONE...." as the Queenscreen fills with a familiar, cryptic image...
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WwlNPhn64TA&hl=en_US&fs=1&showinfo=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WwlNPhn64TA&hl=en_US&fs=1&showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
....before Boom starts up and fills the arena.
"No way. It can't be..."

After a seemingly interminable amount of time, a somewhat familiar face steps onto the stage, though the look is subtly different:

"IT IS!"

As the woman steps onto the ramp, she stops and, raising her arms slowly above her head, suddenly drops them as she falls into a crouch (simulating a bomb dropping in exaggerated fashion) as a ridiculous amount of pyro goes off, including the required bottle rocket/bomb drop sounds. The camera switches angles, showing Remi in the ring as he announces, "Ladies and gentlemen, CHERRY BOMB!" The woman walks down the ramp, slowly, deliberately, to a mixed reaction from the crowd and with an eerily intense look on her face. Climbing into the ring, she faces off with Remi, five feet away, staring holes into him. Taking a step forward, as he visibly shrinks in front of her, she smirks, ever so slightly.

Remi: "Welcome to QAW, Cherry Bomb. Now, I'm sure the question on everyone's mind right now is, how did you come to be here? I mean, the last time we saw you, you were a member of USPW."

Nodding her head, she acknowledges the murmurs from the crowd before answering.

Cherry Bomb: "Bring the microphone closer, interview boy."

The crowd gets a good laugh out of that one as she stares intently at Remi before speaking.

Cherry Bomb: "Y'know, when word got out across the industry that the Bomb's contract was coming due, the Bomb got calls from all over. Canada, Japan, even some girl in Australia. The Bomb sat down with Sam Strong and he laid out what they were offering and what they had planned. So the Bomb had to sit down and decide what she wanted to do. So the Bomb asked herself, she said Bomb, cuz that's my name, what do you want to do? I said, the Bomb wants to get into the Hall of Immortals. The Bomb belongs in the Hall of Immortals. So then I said, Bomb (again, cuz that's my name), how do you get into the Hall of Immortals? The Bomb did some research and found out that you have to be among the best in the world at what you do. You have to win titles, perform on the biggest stages, and steal the show. Finally, the Bomb got a call from QAW management and the guy she spoke to told me straight out: Bomb ('cuz that's my name), you need to be in QAW. So the Bomb said, Really? Why does the Bomb need to be in QAW? And he said, Because you're an immortal in the making and in order to truly be an immortal, you have to perform on the biggest stages, win the most prestigious titles, and become known as one of the best in the world at what you do. The Bomb was speechless, and that doesn't happen too often."

With the audience listening with rapt attention, he then proceeds further.

Remi: "So how did you come to your decision?"
Cherry Bomb: "Well, he wasn't finished with his pitch. He kept adding on the good stuff. He said, Bomb..." and pauses, looking up expectantly as the crowd finishes the thought with cuz that's my name, "...wait, have you heard this before? Nevermind. Anyway, he says that the Bomb should be performing on the biggest stages, the Bomb should be on televisions around the world. Then he starts in on the Seattle Sixteen* and how many of them would be immortals as well. Now, the Bomb has nothing but respect for Grace [the crowd boos], Vixxen [the crowd boos again], Suzanne Brazzle [the crowd pops], Michelle and Jaime [the crowd pops again], and J.Ro [the crowd pops huge], as well as Cat and Sara Marie and all the others. But they're not the Bomb. He said The Magic Three are with QAW and if you know anything about wrestling, you know how big that is. At first, I thought there was no way that could be true. But at Genesis, I saw the Sensational One and Crusher backstage and I see Thunder Hike right here at ringside, so apparently, it is true".
Remi: "Did the interest surprise you?"
Cherry Bomb: "You know, at first it did. But then I remembered, I'm the Bomb. But then the hard sell came. The guy said that if the Bomb signed with NOTBPW or re-signed with USPW, she'd always jerk the curtain or at best, be in the middle of the card. The Bomb would never main event a pay per view no matter how hard she tried or how much she deserved to. He said if the Bomb went to Japan or Australia or Europe, she'd be starting at square one, having to establish herself with a whole new fanbase. Then he said, with QAW, the Bomb could work with all of those other places since they have talent exchange agreements with many of them, if not outright ownership of a few of them. The most important part of the whole pitch was that everything he said....was true. Plus, I was getting really tired of carrying Alicia Strong's ass to good matches."
Remi: "So you turned down more money to come to QAW?"
Cherry Bomb: "Oh don't misunderstand the Bomb, there was also a boatload of cash involved. In fact, in some cases, more than double what anyone else was offering."
Remi: "So what's next?"
Cherry Bomb: "Y'know, for an interviewer, you sure don't listen very well. The Bomb already told you what's next. The Bomb told you what she came here to do. The Bomb came here to prove that she is what she says she is. The Bomb came here to prove that she is one of, if not THE, best in the world at what she does. The Bomb came here to become.....an immortal! And woe be unto anyone who gets in her way. But for now, the Bomb needs to do some research. A lot of these girls, the Bomb doesn't know at all. So the Bomb has to brush up on what they can do and how she can take them down, should the need arise."
Remi: "There you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Another superstar in the QAW fol..."
Remi is interrupted as Cherry Bomb sticks her face back into the shot and says...

"BOOM!"

Wow, this is HUGE!
Don't let the Bomb hear you calling her huge.
She would understand what I meant......wouldn't she?
Do you really want to risk that?
Good point.
Well, this is a very interesting development. Interesting indeed.
Thunder?
Hmm?

Oye starts up, sending the crowd into a frenzy. After a moment, they're rewarded....

...as Joanne Rodriguez and Mercedes Gimenez come out and make their way down to the ring.

"J.Ro is scheduled to compete tonight, but that match is later on."

As the two women get to the ring, they cut a quick salsa move before J.Ro gets a mic. "Buenas, Houston!", smiling as the crowd pops. "I'm not here to take up too much of your time. I just want to introduce you to someone very special who has recently joined the QAW family. I mentioned her to Cheyenne a week or so ago and she jumped on the idea of bringing her onto the big stage. She is probably best known by our fans up in Canada where she is a 3-time women's champion. She has been called the best female wrestler in Canada not named 'Stone'. Her name, fittingly, is MELODY!"

Replay starts up and after a minute, a woman bounds out and pauses at the top of the ramp.

She gives the crowd an impressed nod before walking down the ramp and sliding into the ring. Popping to her feet, she and J.Ro exchange a double fist bump and a hug before she takes the mic and says, "Thank you for the warm reception. I'm not here to talk, I'm here to prove myself. There's some familiarity here since there are several people in QAW that I've competed against before, including the current world champion. They've taken titles from me and I've taken titles from them. I thought I might be able to ease myself into competition here but right off the bat, I'm set to face an impressive and difficult opponent. I know her partner very well but I know little about the woman some people have called a 'monster'. Only one way to find out though, right?"

Melody vs Viv Jacobs w/Clare South

An intense match where Viv wore Melody out with power moves before the comeback, just after the 8 minute mark, put the larger woman on the back foot. After blocking or countering several of Viv's attempts to take back control of the match, Melody finally countered and used her quickness advantage to hit the Melody Maker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48LQqmKFIcY). Viv managed to kick out a second too late.
Winner: Melody
46

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWbanner.jpg

After the match is over, a livid Viv Jacobs drops a triumphant Melody in the middle of her victory celebration with a hard clothesline. Tossing the smaller woman into a corner, she begins raining blows down on her before switching to stomping a mudhole into the new arrival.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
Miss Independent fills the arena as General Manager Cheyenne comes out with a mic and says, "Clare, control your client." As Clare climbs into the ring and tries to calm the unhinged Viv, she gets a free trip to the outside mats, courtesy of a woman blinded by rage. Pulling Melody out of the corner, she applies a front facelock, which could only mean one thing. "Viv, don't you do it. Leave her alone right now or you're suspended."

Viv sneers and hooks Melody's arm over her neck.

"Without pay."

Viv lifts Melody into the vertical suplex and after flipping off Cheyenne, she drops Melody with the Vivisection.

"Enough. You think I'm playing around? Viv Jacobs, as of this moment, you are suspended, without pay.........INDEFINITELY. Now get her out of here."

The ring is then flooded with security, a few in riot gear. As Viv fights them off, she suddenly stiffens and falls to the mat, apparently unconscious. As the camera pans around, a single member of riot geared security stands, holding a taser. The security person removes their helmet to reveal a woman with a deeply sad expression on her face as she stares down at the fallen body.

"GOOD LORD!"
"It couldn't have been easy for her to put down her own partner."
"I don't understand..."
"Well Thunder, how would you feel if you had to do that to the Sensa...."
"...no, not that. I don't understand why Cheyenne only suspended Viv."
"Ahh, we forget that you come from a less...conniving culture."
"I believe I do as well. Care to enlighten us, Stace?"
"Well, if Cheyenne fires Viv, she'll just go to work for someone, anyone who could use someone who has spent three weeks on international television..."
"...which would be everyone except us and Victoria Stone's promotion. But if you suspend her without pay, you don't allow her to do that and so she's stuck under contract and cannot work for anyone else..."
"...ah, taking advantage of the personal conduct clause in the contract. That's quite impressive for our young general manager."

Affliction w/Persephone vs The Canadiennes w/Marianne

A slow burning match with a dizzying amount of impressive spots. A chain wrestling clinic put on by Canadian Angel & Michelle Cox, punctuated by a simple knee lift by Michelle. Québécoise countering a telegraphed back drop by Shooter into a double arm DDT. Back and forth action dominated the match as the Twinstar champions proved themselves tough to put down. But this is Affliction and at the 19th minute, Michelle locked the Cox Crossface on Canadian Angel who almost immediately began to tap. But she was not the legal person in the ring as Shooter got the better of a brawl outside the ring with Québécoise. As Michelle released Canadian Angel (who immediately rolled out of the ring), Jaime rolled Québécoise into the ring. As she rose to her feet, she found Michelle staring down at her. Trying to get distance, she turned around right into a pair of KO Kicks, falling right into the waiting arms of Michelle who swung her up and over to complete the Click-Click-Boom for the win.
Winners: Affliction

Joanne Rodriguez w/Mercedes Gimenez vs Nina the Psycho Ballerina

While not necessarily a bad match, it really suffered as J.Ro tried to cover for her less capable opponent. This simplified the match but also made it extremely...ordinary. After 13 minutes, J.Ro picks up the victory with the J-Rocker.
Winner: Joanne Rodriguez

Suzanne Brazzle w/Hannah vs Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson

As the match developed slowly, it became apparent that the two women held a grudging respect for each others' abilities. Brazzle jumped away from her opponent every time she turned her back, looking to avoid the Melbourne Surprise while Golden Delicious tried to keep her feet on the ground, wary of being flipped into the Miracle Connection.

And so it went, as the momentum swung wildly from one side to the other, each woman managing to bend but not break until the 16th minute. It was at that point that each woman seemed filled with a sense of urgency and the hits came fast and furious. The deciding sequence occurred when Brazzle managed to counter a Melbourne Surprise attempt with a dropkick, sending the Aussie Assassin facefirst into the turnbuckle. As Golden Delicious stumbled backward out of the corner, obviously loopy, she soon found herself spun around and hanging upside down for a few breathless seconds, before crashing to the mat. Referee Isis counted the successful pinfall and sent Suzanne Brazzle to the main event of Revolution!
Winner: Suzanne Brazzle
75

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWbanner.jpg

As the crowd wildly cheered a very enjoyable match and an exhausted Suzanne Brazzle celebrated a well fought victory, the lights flickered and died. When they came back up, Brazzle found herself surrounded...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GraceHarper_jhd2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Vixxen.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpg

After a moment of looking around her, calculating the odds, Brazzle was set upon by the QAW World champion and Vixxen as Sienna kept Hannah at bay with a kick to the midsection that sent her through the second rope and onto the floor. After a seeming eternity that only lasted seconds, Oye blares through the arena as the cavalry arrives in the form of Joanne Rodriguez and Melody.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JoanneRodriguez_Clarity.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MelodyCuthill.jpg
It seemed the tide had turned for the better as J.Ro took out her frustrations on the champion and Melody kept Vixxen busy. That is, until a robed figure simply appears at ringside and slides into the ring. As J.Ro turns around, she was greeted with a vicious spear. The person then grabbed Melody in a fireman's carry position and planted her right on her head (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkxfVzRABbE). It was at this point that the champion turned her eyes to her opponent at Revolution, struggling to get to her feet. With a malevolent grin, she nodded at Vixxen, who delivered a Fall of Reason. Staring at the robed figure, she gave the person a nod and Brazzle was lifted and dropped in the same manner as Melody. Then the QAW World champion Saving Grace raised her adversary to her feet and delivered Redemption. A gesture from the champion prompted the robed figure to reveal themselves:

And with that, the champion raised her belt over her head for all to see as her cohorts drew near......and the lights flickered and died for a moment. The closing scene of QAW Showcase was that of the battered and broken bodies of Joanne Rodriguez, Suzanne Brazzle, Melody and Golden Delicious, strewn across the ring and ringside area along with the still forms of Hannah and Autumn Gleeson littering the aisle.

Overall rating: 76

*The Seattle Sixteen are the workers who walked out on AAA in the weeks following Catherine Quine's firing. The story will be posted shortly.

[Yuu Onuki]

Amazing show! Very many and more the tics of drama did do their unfold.

[funkyzafara]

Very good show, my only problem is that I cannot remember the names of the workers in each of the tag teams, making the tag team matches a bit chaotic to read. Either way, great storylines and great match write-ups, KUTGW.

Tuesday Week 3 January, 2010


I have never been a particularly sentimental person. I live for the moment, enjoy it while it's happening, then it's on to the next one. But getting into this business requires more of a long term vision, often at the expense of the short term plan. At no time has this been more apparent to me than right now.

"Please, have a seat."

As she falls into an overstuffed chair, she eyes me warily.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VivJacobs.jpg

"Okay, what's goin' on?"

"Well, as I guess you've figured out by now, we're taking you off TV."

"And?"

"And we're sending you down for development."

"What the hell for? Are you trying to tell me I'm fired? Is this about asking to change my finisher?"

"Viv, easy. Changing your finisher had nothing to do with this decision. And no, you're not fired. This move is temporary."

"Like hell it is! You're trying to toss me away for whatever stupid reason you've got stuck in your goddamn head..."

"Am I? Your return program is already planned, so how can this be permanent? Or weren't you paying attention to the script?"

"I dont....", pausing to think for a moment, I noticed her angry expression begin to soften a bit as her trademark smirk began lighting up her face. "Okay, so what is it you want me to do?"

"Ah, so you understand now? Look, here's the deal. The fans have picked up on the fact that you're thinking too much in the ring. You seem too mechanical and it's not working. What I need you to do is basic muscle memory work. I want you to be more instinctive in the ring. But I also want you to be safer and more consistent. For example, I want the Vivisection to make your opponent feel like they're falling into bed."

"Okay, safety, consistency, instinctiveness...."

"And I won't be mad if you learn match flow or how to sell better or become able to do Iron Woman matches...."

"Oh so you like your women to have stamina."

"Viv, you know as well as I do that that little nugget is meaningless to you."

"Aw, you're no fun."

"Look, I promise you that this isn't going to be permanent. Do you trust me?"

"Well, rumor has it that I'm one of your, what did they call it, 'reclamation projects' so I suppose I don't have a choice."

"You always have a choice. Project or not, if you told me right now, I want my release rather than go to development, I'd release you."

"You would do that?"

"No."

"Didn't think so."

"If you wanted, I would. But then you'd probably retire right afterward. There really isn't much of an indy scene out there for you anymore."

"At least none that you don't already own."

"Well yeah, there's that. Gonna give you a choice though. You can go to Australia or down to Austin. Apparently, Nemesis thinks you'll fit right in there and working with Hell Raiser Muro and Nanami and such will work wonders for you."

"Never been to Australia. Do I still get paid...."

"...in American dollars? Yes."

"And I can go to Austin later?"

"Sure, if you want."

"I have my doubts, but I'll give it a shot. I ain't no spring chicken, you know."

"Pfft, Ogiwara and Hike have almost a decade on you and they've been working nonstop for like twenty years and can still go. Who're you foolin'? Now, I'll give Judi and Kailee the heads up. Tell 'em they won the lottery."

"..."

Wednesday Week 3 January 2010

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/LFC%20Diary/EWR_net3.jpg

The rumor mill is running on all cylinders as word has come out that QAW has been in contact with several prominent non-wrestlers. Sources inside South of the Border Pro Wrestling confirm that manager Jennifer Heat has given notice of her pending departure. There is speculation that her boyfriend, lucha heartthrob Champagne Lover, is on the verge of signing an exclusive deal with a major promotion that will take him out of Mexico as well. Also on the Mexican front, sources in MPWF confirm that Gabriela Ortega has signed with QAW on a pay per appearance basis. However, it's believed to be a temporary arrangement while a long term exclusive deal is being negotiated. Sources in Houston have confirmed Ortega has been in contact with the realtor the promotion uses for relocating workers and has toured the University of Houston's campus while contemplating enrollment in the graduate physics program.

The most recent QAW Showcase offered confirmation of a rumor that QAW's talent sharing agreement with EWA has taken off, with the debut of Geena the Warrior Princess. However, what hasn't yet been revealed is the rumored signing of EWA's primary manager, The X Force's valet, Simona "The Princess" Cox. This perhaps explains last Thursday's EWA Presents where Double Dutch struck at EWA Tag champs The X Force by putting Simona through a table. What can be confirmed at this time comes out of 21CW in the UK where veteran manager Phoebe Plumridge, in a move perhaps foreshadowed at last year's Genesis event, has signed an exclusive contract with QAW. Rumor in the 21CW locker room has it that the promotion's other manager, rocker Kathleen Lee, is deep in negotiations to cross the pond as well.

Finally, several lesser known but still promising managerial talents have also been contacted, according to sources. 4C's Katie Cameron and Joy DeWitt, Lisa Bowen of Mid Atlantic Wrestling fame, and veteran indy manager Abi Romanov, as well as Pittsburgh Steel Wrestling's Nicole Kiss have all been contacted about possibly signing on with the rapidly expanding promotion. Apparently, there is still heat between Honey Golightly and the former Charlize Angelle (now working in PSW as Krissy Angelle) over her departure, which was a major reason Kiss was approached and not Angelle. Word out of Australia has it that Stephanie Drucker's signing is "just about a done deal" which is validated by the Melbourne Blondes' visit to Stanley Hall in the days following QAW Genesis and their recent announcement that they will be accepting bookings from North American and Mexican promotions.

Industry insiders speculate that the women's wrestling behemoth may be planning a roster expansion in advance of a brand split arrangement, which would explain the recent interest in manager talent. As a possible weak spot for the promotion's development system (there are only a handful of managers in development), this could be a way of remedying that deficiency while allowing the existing manager talents as much time as they need to develop.

More on this story as we get it!

Things always seem to get worse before they get better.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SensationalOgiwara.jpg

I was sitting in my office, going over cash flow projections and the creative plan for Revolution (and noting how the two clashed) when Sensational Ogiwara walked in, sans knock, with a pained expression on her face.

"Uh, something wrong, Nana?"

"I have...bad news. Troubling, at least to me."

"And that is?"

"The 5 Star World title just changed hands on the Dream Tour...."

"Cool! 5 Star rose to Regional size so perhaps a title change was in order. So Yuma drop it back to DEVIL?"

The rueful look on her face told me I was incorrect.

"The Huntress is the new 5 Star World champion."

The implications hit me like a kick to the junk.

"WHAT?"

"Yuma is now contending for the All-Asian title...."

"ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?!?"

"Now wait, before you get upset, Tara pointed something out to me."

"And that is?"

"Makiko may be transitional. Due to the events of the previous tour, DEVIL turned and was teaming with Yuma at the beginning of the Dream Tour. The only heels at the top of the card currently are Makiko and Meg."

"And Meg is only there because of the events here, yes?"

"Probably. She has been seen very favorably, as has Makiko."

"Grrrrr, that means the match at Revolution has to be in the preshow. Putting it on the main show will only exacerbate the situation. One question comes to mind though."

With an uncharacteristic smirk, the only women's wrestler in the world who could (but wouldn't) refer to herself as the greatest of all time, threw it right back at me with, "And that is?"

"Why would the Lizard Queen outright refuse me the use of Yuma....if she was going to allow her to be buried in such a way? And DEVIL, despite the plans I put forth." [NB: the spots that eventually went to Melody and Geena were intended for Yuma and DEVIL, respectively]

"There is only one person who can answer those questions."

I took a few moments to calm down and then made the call.

Stacy Simmons Eric Tyler Rebecca Richey


Welcome everyone to the second to last LiveWire with my esteemed commentary partner, the Hardcore Icon, Eric Tyler.
It's not something I wanted to do but I need to concentrate more on Brooke, Tayla, and the House of Tradition. Our impact has been stunted by my split focus and that needs to be fixed.
Well, if it counts for anything, I've learned so much about this business from our conversations and your commentary work that I'm sure whoever is chosen to sit in your chair will have a tough act to follow.
Speaking of which, I'm told that the replacement will be revealed on Showcase and I for one am looking forward to seeing who it is.
No worries, I'm curious as w....wait, what's going on?

The arena goes dark for several moments before an audible hiss begins rising in volume through the speakers, as a thick smoky mist gathers around the stage, soon followed by Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me reverberating throughout the space. After a few moments, four women step out onto the stage.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GraceHarper_jhd2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Vixxen.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GeenaPrincess_FIN.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpg

The most notable and recent addition stands out from her cohorts, due to her stark attire. Dressed in a simple bandeau under an open front black hide tunic, with raven feathered armbands and simple black lambskin tights sitting atop (and folded into) black buckskin boots. Draped across her shoulders, a charcoal gray cloak made of some undetermined furry animal's fur and gripped in her right hand, a barbed spear of blued steel with an adornment of raven's feathers. But perhaps the most shocking element of her garb becomes apparent when the camera zooms in on her pupil less eyes scanning the crowd in the dim light, glowing with malevolence, and the detail of her necklace becomes easier to make out. A trophy rack of sorts, the cuspids of various beasts, polished to a shine, are clearly visible. The disturbing aspect, easily missed, is the fact that some of those canines appear to be small enough to be from humans.

With a nod from the self-proclaimed messiah of the industry, the four women make their way down to the ring. Entering the ring, Saving Grace calls for a mic as her entourage takes positions near the corners.

"It is said that when the chosen is called, kings and princes will kneel before her. Well, since it is obvious that kings are nothing without their queens and that a princess has her father's heart, bear witness to the first step in the fulfillment of that prophecy. Behold Geena, a princess, nay, the Warrior Princess!"

Kneeling, Geena lays her spear across her knees.

"Geena, Warrior Princess from abroad, do you wish to be saved? Speak the words."

"I wish to be saved."

"And saved you shall be. However, I would ask a boon of you. Will you grant it to me?"

Slowly turning her gaze upward, staring impassively with those eyes through a strawberry blond tangle of hair, she says with growing intensity, "I...would do....anything."

Vixxen visibly shudders before nodding solemnly as the QAW World champion makes a promise.

"Do this and I give you command of the Army of Salvation. Tonight, you will give these people a small glimpse into your redeemed power. You will show them what redemption can mean for them and you will give the unbelievers a glimpse into their painful futures. You will do all of this....right.....now."

Pixie Pinwheel vs Geena the Warrior Princess w/Sienna DeVille

With Saving Grace guesting on commentary, Geena put on a 'taking Pixie to the woodshed' exhibition. After a Strike of Boudica, she glanced over to the announce table where Grace shook her head and made a thumbs up to thumbs down gesture which brought a wicked grin to Geena's face. Easily lifting the limp Pixie's small frame up, she put her back down with an Amazon Plunge before finally, mercifully, scoring the pinfall.
Winner: Geena the Warrior Princess
34


"Impressive."
"It seems like the QAW World champion is developing world class talent for the Coven."
"It can't be world class. The Icons of Tradition aren't in it."
"..."

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpg
The camera cuts to a backstage locker room as Cherry Bomb sits in front of a flatscreen TV. As the camera pans around, it becomes apparent that she is watching last week's match between Ashley Grover and Olivia Diamond, totally engrossed. After a minute, she notices the camera and says, "Tonight, the Bomb takes on Ashley Grover in the main event. It's the Bomb's first official match in QAW, which does not bode well for young Ashley. Y'see, the Bomb has seen her in action and knows her style very well now. Ashley is a flyer and the Bomb loves her some flyers. Why, you might ask, does the Bomb love flyers? Well, it's because flyers often fall down and go...", at which point she returns to watching the TV. After a minute, the camera turns to leave before it is spun back around and centered on Cherry Bomb's face before she says, ".....BOOM!", making the accompanying hand gesture.

The Commonwealth w/Ceri Dordevich vs Recipe for Success w/Heather B

This was a matchup that, in a year or two, will headline PPVs. The pace was blistering from the very start with Keisha showing off her newly learned Japanese Arm Drag. Not to be outdone, Jessie and Lexi put on a clinic of double team moves, with one sequence punctuated with a beautiful double Japanese arm drag on an interfering Gina, sending her careening from the ring. From here, it left the legal Keisha in quite the predicament. Trying to fight her way clear, she found herself on the receiving end of a Message from the Queen, which seemed to spell the end. However, after a cover for at least a five count, they turned to find Heather B arguing with the ref before Ceri yanked her legs off the apron. The distraction was sufficient as Ceri found herself catching Jessie following a dropkick from Gina and Lexi was now in the same position Keisha was moments ago. The two women showed they were Cookin' With Gas and the pinfall followed shortly after.
Winners: Recipe for Success
42


"Two of the most promising teams in the Twinstar division put on quite a show tonight."
"Jessie & Lexi almost pulled off quite an upset."
"Horseshoes and hand grenades."

Backstage, a camera catches someone walking toward the catering area. Martina Baker and Monique are sitting and conversing over salads before they stiffen and take on guarded postures as they see who approaches.

"Hi, I'm Brie."

Monique's eyes narrow warily as the camera swings around to show the speaker.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NinaTheBallerina.jpg
"Can I sit with you guys?"
"It's a free country," Monique replies, still visibly tensed.
"Wait, I thought you were Nina?" Martina interjects, a puzzled look on her face.
"Shhh! She's sleeping. You don't want to wake her."
"But....you're not sleeping right now. Unless....unless....cool, are you sleepwalking???"
"No, I'm Brie. We share. Or, we're supposed to. But she's a bully so I have to wait until she falls asleep before I can come out."
"Cabrón," Monique mutters.
"Where's your friend?"
"Meg? Oh she's in Japan, finishing up a tour.", Martina says cheerfully.
"Oh. I've never been to Jap....oh no."
"¿Que pasa, enferma?", Monique says, curtly.
"I gotta go. She's wakin' up. I don't want to be around you guys when she gets up. She's mean."
"Um, okay. See ya 'round, Brie!", bubbles forth from Martina.
"Yeah, right." is Monique's response.


Ummm....
Your guess is as good as mine.

Backstage, Clare South is talking to Emma Bitch, apparently trying to reassure her after the events of Showcase.

"You did what needed to be done, like always. Viv needed to learn a lesson. But look on the bright side..."

Emma shoots a questioning look at Clare.

"....now we can put you in line for that Shockwave title."

As a wicked grin spreads across Emma's face, she says, "I want to be World champion."

"So does everyone else in the company. One step at a time, Em. Tonight, we start with Amber Allen. Let's go."

Emma Bitch w/Clare South vs Amber Allen w/BJ O'Neill

As the match opened, Amber went straight at her opponent, opening with a series of chops. She didn't get the intended reaction as the larger Emma simply sneered at her, before launching a series of right hands that rocked Amber. The match proceeded from there, with Emma sticking to stiff maneuvers while Amber snared Emma and cut off her momentum at every available opportunity. Finally, after a series of reversals, Emma managed to launch Amber overhead for the Payback, earning the victory.
Winner: Emma Bitch

We're taken backstage where Remi is standing by on the interview set with Willow and Olivia Diamond.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Willow_Clarity.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/OliviaDiamond_alt1.jpg

Remi: Willow, barely ten days away from perhaps the biggest match of Olivia's career, she's facing perhaps her greatest challenge here tonight, in the form of Principessa. Thoughts?

Willow: Well, it's true Principessa is quite the obstacle. She's won all over the world. But this is the perfect opportunity for The Diamond Standard. When the Diamond Cutter seals Principessa's fate, the world will be put on notice.

Olivia: Baby Blue, don't think I've forgotten about you. Oh no, not at all. But I need to ask you for one simple favor. Before you leave home to show up at the pay per view, please polish my belt. It would save me some time when I take it from you.

As Willow and Olivia head down to the ring (not before filling the shot with the diamond hand sign), two other women walk into the shot, getting a surprising pop from the crowd.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BJONeill.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Principessa.jpg

Remi: BJ, with Amber having suffered a setback tonight, would you say the stage is set for an upset?

BJ: You're right, Amber had a little setback. But she's young, she's learning and losses are part of the territory. I've seen it happen to many others. And while she was trained and taught by the woman standing next to me, experience factors in as well. But this is QAW, the amount of talent that resides here means that anyone can beat anyone on any given day.

Principessa: But not tonight.

BJ: No, not tonight. Olivia is a great talent. She's got a bright future ahead of her and might be a future champion. But that future isn't now and it's something she'll have to learn, the hard way.

Olivia Diamond w/Willow vs Principessa w/BJ O'Neill

A demonstration of the value of experience as Principessa took everything Olivia dished out, countering when openings presented themselves and basically waiting for Olivia to make a fatal mistake. It took a while but nine minutes in, Olivia hit the ropes apparently intending to do a Lou Thesz Press....and was caught by Principessa in perfect position. The Princess Drop followed, as did the pinfall.
Winner: Principessa

"If you'll excuse me, something needs to be said."
And with that, Eric Tyler removes his headset just as Pilgrim starts up.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BrookeTyler.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/TaylaMartin.jpg

As the Icons make their way to meet Eric Tyler in the ring, they stop at the bottom of the ramp and turn around to watch their entrance video. As they slide into the ring, the two women hug Eric, while he tries to maintain his stern look.

"Respect. A small word with a big meaning. As a concept, respect is being rewarded for your hard work and excellence in some manner. Respect often lies between love and hate."

He pauses to let that sink in.

"Tradition. While many simpleminded "folks" will think of that word as "the old way" or "how things used to be done", that would be incorrect. Tradition is how things are done best. They are the methods that stand the test of time. Traditionally, a marriage is an exclusive relationship between a man and a woman. Traditionally, children are produced as a result of a marriage. Traditionally, the cream rises to the top. Now, the first two examples are no longer true in this society. However, I was led to believe when I agreed to allow my underage daughter and when I agreed to look after her best friend that this was a company where the last example I cited, would be held in the highest esteem. But is it, really?"

He pauses again, sneering derisively.

"Our General Manager has said on a few occasions that she makes the matches here. If she would be so kind as to come out here, I would like to ask her a question, to her face."

After a few moments, Miss Independent starts up, to the delight of the crowd, followed shortly after by QAW GM Cheyenne.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"What's this about, Eric?"

"I believe you know what this is about. Ten days away from the pay-per-view and the best tag team on the roster, isn't scheduled to compete. As I believe the kids today say, Wazzup wit dat?"

The crowd collapses in laughter as Brooke and Tayla groan and shake their heads, trying to find a rock to crawl under.

"So you want the Icons in a match at Revolution?"

"Very good! Oh and a sandwich usually has two or more slices of bread."

"Careful with the insults there, Mr. Hardcore Icon. Your girls wouldn't want me to put them in any matches you'd shy away from, would they? How about a Japanese Barbed Wire Death Match?"

Visibly blanching, Eric looked at the pained expressions on Brooke and Tayla's faces and said simply, "This isn't that kind of promotion."

"Traditionally," Cheyenne says with a smirk, "every promotion does something that goes against type."

"Look, it is in the best interest of this promotion to have its very best tag team in action on pay-per-view."

"I'll think about it and let you know on Showcase. Then again, now that I remember, Joanne isn't booked for Revolution either. Which one of you would want to go one-on-one with the Latina Sensation?"

At that, two sets of eyes lit up before Eric killed the buzz with, "They're a tag team. They work together."

"Noted. I'll have opponents for you Monday. Let me just ask around to see who might be interested in squaring off against "the very best tag team" in QAW. But right now, you aren't booked for the show tonight either. Hmm, what to do, what to do. Lemme see who I can rustle up."

"Is it really a good idea to provoke the general manager given her actions in her short tenure?"
"Hardcore icons don't tend to make the best decisions. It's kinda in the job description."

The Natural Blondes w/Blonde Bombshell vs The Icons of Tradition w/Eric Tyler

Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and James, this match was HOT! Amber & Saffron, taking offense to the Icons anointing themselves the best team in the promotion, started the match on fire. Eventually, Brooke & Tayla rose to match that intensity and the entire complexion changed. It went from being a basic midcard match to easily main event quality as the two teams battered each other back and forth. Even the quick tags on both sides couldn't keep anyone particularly fresh. Though the match turned on Saffron's failed flying crossbody to save her sister, thus allowing Amber to fall victim to the Weight of Tradition.
Winners: The Icons of Tradition
75 (!!!)

Ashley Grover vs Cherry Bomb

Ashley entered with match with a sound strategy: hit & run and never let the Bomb get a good grip on you. Of course, like military strategy, it didn't survive contact with the enemy. After largely dominating the first third of the match with quick hitting strikes and well placed springboard maneuvers, Ashley went to the well one time too often as a springboard back elbow found her caught and dropped, courtesy of a release German suplex. From there, the Bomb went to work, cornering Ashley and attacking her body with stiff shots until called off by the ref. In the end, as Ashley tried to mount a comeback, her quickness got the better of her as, not noticing her opponent was playing possum, she slid herself right into position. The Bomb Drop followed, with the pinfall seconds later.
Winner: Cherry Bomb

I have no idea why it took me so long to comment on this, but as an avid lover of the womens wrestling I have to say this is AMAZING.

One question though, after skimming over the roster i'm not sure if you had signed Thea Davis or no? If not, why not sir?

Don't mind me, I just have a thing for her, it's that damn smirk.

Thea's in development, currently main eventing Miss Information's Catch Wrestling Society in the UK. I like Thea a lot but I want her to teach some folks (and improve herself) before she comes up. She'll definitely be up by year 2 though.

As the opening pyro dies down, the camera cuts to the ring where QAW General Manager Cheyenne is standing by with Remianen.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg

"Good evening QAW fans and welcome to Showcase! Is anyone excited for the Revolution in six days?"

She pauses as the crowd pops, then nods in a satisfied manner.

"Nice! Well, I have a few more surprises in store for that. You have questions and I have the answers. But first, I'd like to answer a question about LiveWire. Specifically, about LiveWire's announce team. I have Remi out here because I love how he does introductions so I'm going to have him clue you in on who the new color commentator will be. Remi?"

Pulling a set of cards out of his jacket, Remi reads, "Joining the illustrious announce team for LiveWire is a really big deal. The person who is chosen to sit in that seat will be trying to replace a legend. The applications for the position flooded the offices nonetheless. So, QAW management felt it only right, for our fans and our workers, to replace a legend.....with a legend."

After a dramatic pause as Legend (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjvntGsupY4#t=0m07s) begins to play, Remi continues, "Much has been said about this woman. She has been called "the future" and "the past", "savior" and "destroyer". Perhaps the foremost conqueror of her land, one name that is whispered in the corridors of power conjures her image immediately to mind:

The Lizard Queen."

After a minute of anticipation, with the music softly reverberating off the small venue's walls, a single woman walks out
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SakurakoKagawa.jpg
<object height="25" width="27"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/wjvntGsupY4&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="25" width="27"></object>

"I...I...."
"Exactly. This is a surprise, though perhaps it should not be."
"What? Kagawa-san owns 5 Star Supreme Wrestling, the biggest, bugger all, the ONLY women's promotion in Japan. What would she be doing here?"
"Until WINNOW officially opens...."
"Spreading her influence beyond Japan's borders? The Dream Tour ends with this month, after all."

As she walks down the ramp, her gait oddly reminiscent of a stalking feline with a regal bearing, turning her withering gaze upon the fans along the way, she steps into the ring and pauses a moment to take it all in. "This is a lot of people" she says, just within range of the microphone. Nodding, both Remi and Cheyenne offer deep bows as the woman called the Lizard Queen locks eyes with Thunder Hike at ringside, offering the cold smile she's known for.

"Welcome Kagawa-san. I have been instructed by QAW management to convey their appreciation for 5SSW and to applaud your decision to work with us to elevate the stature of women's wrestling worldwide."

With a visible smirk, the Queen looks Remi straight in the eye and replies, "Well, please inform QAW management that I am looking forward to a mutually beneficial relationship and I am happy to assist in offering my unique perspective on commentary."

"I think I speak for every member of the company when I say...."

I've Got A Rock N' Roll Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jV-Vw-K4WMI) starts up, interrupting Remi as the former LiveWire color commentator comes out with his team.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EricTyler_nacht03.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BrookeTyler.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/TaylaMartin.jpg

"You know, I like to see this. In that ring right there, is respect. Kagawa-san, I truly apologize for interrupting your introduction, though it would surprise me if any of these inbred disciples of "Sports Entertainment" would even realize exactly who stands in their presence."

He pauses as the crowd reacts to his insult.

"You created the promotion that my little girl begged me for videotapes of growing up. You created the stars that can honestly call themselves the greatest of all time. This promotion probably would never have started if not for your hard work. Hell, I wouldn't be the least surprised if you surpassed me on commentary, given the depth of your knowledge and experience with women's wrestling. Girls?"

On command, Brooke and Tayla offer deep bows to the Queen, drawing a smile from her. Following Eric, they begin to head down the ramp toward the ring. As they climb in, Eric offers a bow to Kagawa before saying, "Now, I have no quarrel with the Queen. No, my beef is with our oh-so-important General Manager. You're going to tell us who our opponents are for Revolution or we're not leaving this ring."

"Heh, Eric, you're walking on hot coals and one day, those two young women will realize that the stench they're smelling while following you, is their own flesh burning."

"What the hell does that even mean?"

"You want to know who your opponents at Revolution are?"

"I think that's the question I asked...."

"I'm not going to tell you...."

"WHAT? Then I guess we'll be here all...."

"...I'll let them tell you themselves."

CLICK-CLICK-BOOM hits as three women walk out onto the stage...

...sending Eric into a frustrated fit as Brooke says over and over, "Oh no, oh no, oh no", and Tayla berates Cheyenne. Jaime makes a point of adjusting her MMA gloves and shinguards as Michelle holds her arms up in an X as an apparent reference to her finisher. Persephone produces a mic and says, "You're the best tag team in QAW? Well, my friends have a slightly different opinion. In six days at Revolution, you'll get your chance to prove your case. Mr. Hardcore Icon sir, I would suggest you teach your girls how it feels to be stretched and pounded. Might help them, come Sunday."

As the crowd fixates on the tension brewing between the two teams, one person can be seen in the back of the ring casually leaning against the ropes, a confident smirk on her face.

"The Lizard Queen has arrived."

Beautiful Life starts up and the crowd reacts as Chloe Dean comes out (complete with a handful of daisies) followed shortly thereafter by QAW Shockwave champion Kinuye Mushashibo. As the champion bounces at the top of the ramp, playing to the fans, she suddenly sprints down and slides into the ring and up onto a turnbuckle, seemingly in one motion. Holding up the Shockwave title, she visits all four turnbuckles, basking in the adulation. As Chloe gets into the ring, the two women await Baby Blue's mystery opponent.

They're not waiting long before Remi announces, "And, hailing from Oslo, the Norwegian Fantasy..." and I Don't Care (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxDcWvZCSRg) starts up. After a minute or so, a striking, statuesque blond walks out.

Aud D'Hoffryn vs Kinuye Mushashibo w/Chloe Dean

With the champion being uncharacteristically cautious, Aud took the fight to her with punches before whipping her to the ropes and dropping her with a big boot. From there, it was all Aud until Kin formulated a plan of attack. Still taking a beating but managing to lace her opponent with round kicks to the hamstrings and thrust kicks to the quads during her failed comebacks. She eventually hit paydirt when, after another irish whip, Aud couldn't elevate over her onrushing opponent and was caught and spun into a hot shot. From there, the sleeping signal was made, and the young woman called Baby Blue, ascended to the top rope, waiting for her opponent to stand. When Aud got up and stumbled toward her, the Shockwave champion put her back down with the Blue Dream, securing the victory.
Winner: Kinuye Mushashibo

A video plays, with Remi narrating, detailing the conflict between QAW Twinstar champions The Canadiennes and Call of Duty, starting at Genesis until the present. The two teams will meet at Revolution with the Twinstar titles on the line.

Kuniko Matsura w/Lynn Cox vs Emma Bitch w/Clare South

How do you neutralize power? It's a question Kuniko's still trying to answer as Emma dominated her almost ceaselessly. While she had momentary glimmers of hope, the final result was never really in question. The Payback brought the expected ending.
Winner: Emma Bitch

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWbanner.jpg

The camera is focused on a tight shot of the QAW World title with an impassive female voices narrating, with Savior softly playing in the background.
"I am the way..."
"...the way..."
"The truth and the light"
"...the light..."
"Every man, woman, and child...."
"...child..."
"Will be offered salvation..."
"...salvation..."
"No one in this industry...."
"...no one..."
"....is beyond redemption."
"...redemption..."

As the camera begins to zoom out, it becomes apparent that the belt is wrapped around someone's waist as the voice continues.

"I am your salvation..."
"...our salvation..."
"I am your redemption..."
"...our redemption..."
"I...am your...Savior..."
"...our......savior..."

A dim light comes up then, illuminating four women, three lying prostrate before one.

As the camera zooms in on her, QAW World champion Saving Grace says, "This Sunday, there is one who wishes to take what is rightfully mine, by decree of the saved, against the will of the redeemed! It shall not come to pass. Will it, disciples?"

"NO!"

With a bit of a shrug, the champion smiles and says, "Sorry", dripping with insincerity.

Brooke Dunn w/Aurora vs Shooter Jaime Quine w/Persephone

At the start of the match, it seemed Brooke felt she had something to prove as she took the fight right to the Shooter. When her opponent began trying to come back, she found a way to halt her momentum (usually with a thumb to the eye). One exchange in particular got her what seemed to be a possible decisive pinfall as, after another thumb to the eye, Brooke followed with a knee to the gut doubling her opponent over before dropping a well-placed elbow to the base of her skull. But after emphatically kicking out, Jaime got serious and Brooke got overconfident. Setting her guard, Jaime went to strikes and Brooke (erroneously) tried to stay with her.

"You don't want to get into a striking game with Jaime. They call her Shooter for a reason!"

By this point, Brooke was stuck in no woman's land as when she moved in close, she got within striking range and when she tried to back off, Jaime's kickboxing training was exhibited to her. Running out of options, she charged and was shown what Jaime had learned from her partner as an overhead belly to belly suplex left Brooke lying. Rolling out of the ring, she consulted with Aurora before grabbing a chair from ringside as Jaime played to the crowd with a shadow boxing demonstration. Seemingly oblivious to her opponent re-entering the ring, she caught everyone by surprise when she hit the backflip variant of the KO Kick, dropping Brooke (and her brandished chair) where she stood. Three seconds later and it was all over.
Winner: Shooter Jaime Quine

The camera cuts to the interview area where Remi is standing with a woman in a rather agitated state.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpg

"Cherry Bomb, you..."
"Shut up! Look, the Bomb has noticed that her dance card is free for Revolution. That's a bad thing. Know why?"
"Um..."
"Because no one's going to buy the pay per view if the Bomb isn't on it! So, looking over the matches announced so far, and taking into account who else is free, there's one person among them that I want in the ring, for Revolution."

The crowd begins to chant "J.Ro! J.Ro! J.Ro!".

"Melody!"

The crowd voices their displeasure as Cherry Bomb smirks.

"We're both newcomers to the promotion. We're both Canadian icons. Me, because I was born there and her, because she likes kissing Stone ass. So I spoke to Cheyenne and sure enough, she saw the wisdom in making the match. So Melody, enjoy your warmup tonight. Golden Delicious isn't in my league so that's all it's going to be, a warmup. Because at Revolution, you've got a bomb on your hands."

"Yet another major match set for Revolution, which is turning out to be an awesome card. Join us in...."

Cherry Bomb re-enters the shot, looks Remi up and down, then turns into the camera and says, "BOOM!"

Michelle Cox w/Persephone vs Christina Charisma w/Lady Melissa

In the first episode of "So You Think You Can Suplex", these two women showed just how well versed they are in the sweet science of chain wrestling. From the opening bell, it was sequence transitioned into sequence countered into sequence with few breaks.

"This is turning into a beautiful match."
"Gee, I wonder why Thunder Hike, of all people, would say that."

While Christina proved an apt pupil, obviously picking up several maneuvers, it was her lack of versatility (and conditioning) that led to her downfall. Ten minutes of near nonstop technical action was clearly taking her to her physical limits so when Michelle hit the Good Lookin' Suplex and raised her crossed arms to signal for the crossface, Christina could do little but struggle to her feet and lunge for a clothesline. This, of course, was countered and Michelle had her locked up in the center of the ring, with a wicked lean on the already painful move, which quickly got her the submission victory.
Winner: Michelle Cox

A video plays hyping the QAW World title, showing highlights from the match at Genesis. Following that, highlights of Saving Grace's matches and the #1 contender mini-tournament, leading to Suzanne Brazzle's shot at the title at Revolution. The video is punctuated near the end by a warm, feminine voice...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HannahPotter.jpg
...as the camera pans around a ring where a young woman is sparring with a masked opponent.

"You took what didn't belong to you. Your lackey delivered quite a present at your lowest point."

The young woman delivers a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker to her masked opponent.

"This Sunday, there will be no redemption."

Swinging neckbreaker on the masked sparring partner.

"This Sunday, you will not find salvation."

Japanese brainbuster to the masked sparring partner.

"This Sunday, prepare to make...a Miracle Connection."

Miracle Connection to the masked woman as a heretofore unseen referee, drops and makes the count.

In the dim light of the isolated ring, the young woman leans on the top rope, facing out, as the camera pans around to finally show her face.

After a few moments of staring into the panning camera as it zooms in, she throws a punch and the feed cuts.

Melody vs Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson


A match that started out cautiously, turned into an intense display of contrasts as Golden Delicious went the air on several occasions while Melody tried to keep her grounded, but still managed to match her in aerial prowess. Turning point of the match came after a reversed irish whip by Melody saw Golden astutely predict the following dropkick and grab the ropes to avoid it. With Melody on the ground and stunned, Golden went into her stalking routine. When Melody stood, she turned right into the Melbourne Surprise, giving the Aussie Assassin the win.
Winner: Golden Delicious

As the match comes to a close and Golden Delicious stalks her fallen opponent, seemingly intent on delivering another Melbourne Surprise, Miss Independent hits, interrupting her predatory dance as QAW General Manager Cheyenne comes out, mic in hand.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"Ah, Golden Delicious. Up to your old tricks, I see. I noticed that I inadvertently omitted you from Revolution. Or was it intentional?"

As Golden Delicious glares up at the stage and Autumn shouts something indecipherable, Cheyenne smiles.

"You've made enemies in your short time here. One in particular, who also has a free dance card this Sunday, came to me a half hour ago and asked to face you one-on-one. The winner of that match will have gone a long way towards proving themselves a worthy opponent for whoever is champion come Beaches. Why? Well, I'll let her tell you personally."

Golden Delicious shouts, "It's not like it matters. There's no one in this promotion who can handle m...."

Oye fires up and the roof just about suffers structural damage as the crowd reacts. The camera shows Golden Delicious visibly utter a profanity in frustration.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JoanneRodriguez_Clarity.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MercedesGimenez.jpg
Joanne Rodriguez comes out with Mercedes Gimenez and seems set to get it on right now before Cheyenne grabs her arm and says, "Save it for Sunday", to which she nods and takes the proffered mic.

"The Aussie Assassin, eh? Well, we'll see who'll be assassinated this Sunday. As I recall, you beat me the last time we met, with a big assist from Grace and her Coven lackeys."

"You're right, I took advantage of an opportunity. On Sunday, I'll do it again. This time, the opportunity will be different but the result, well, the result will always be the same: you laid out in a very familiar position for you, flat on your back, and me heading to the pay window."

As J.Ro seethes while being restrained by Mercedes and Cheyenne, Golden Delicious points an imaginary rifle up at her and mimes firing it.

Overall: 67

Tuesday Week 4 January 2010

While I'm sitting in the office trying to figure out how to recover from a disappointing show, my phone buzzes.

"Victoria Stone on line 1."

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/VictoriaStone.jpg

Not wanting to seem too eager (or available), I wait a minute before picking up.

"Hey you, how's things?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing. Pay per view's on Sunday. You guys ready?"

"I think so. The card's pretty much set."

"One thing though. If you're putting Melody into a program with "The Bomb", she's likely to become really well known."

"That's the plan, and Showcase pretty much showed that we need that for our future plans."

"Yeah, that's also going to make her an even better choice to build Kris here, so thanks for that."

"Pfft, that's what we do. Speaking of which, any chance you could put in a good word with Canada-1 for us in a year or so?"

"Haha, I was going to ask you the same thing about Jade!"

"Jade? Japan?"

"Sean's got a hankering to do some work over there and I figure I can keep him home if we could add a tour of Japan to the schedule once a year. Much easier if we're already somewhat known."

"No sweat. Let me know when you're ready and I'll make the call. You're stockpiling the talent though. DWN, Kirk, Sam Keith's boys, but umm, Sayeed Ali?"

"He works the Japanese puro style very well. We needed to add some intensity into our matches and he has that in abundance. Besides, there will be changes to our product as well as presentation so we're just preparing for that. When Sayeed meets Junior or Sean or even Jezza or Johnny, you'll see what I mean."

"Ahh, that's a stroke of genius, madame chairman."

"Thanks. Oh, and one more thing. Tell Emma....."

"Yes?"

"Tell her I'm happy for her. Proud of her too. Hopefully she realizes why we had to.... But DON'T tell her I told you to..."

"Not planning to tell her that. It would tarnish my "genius talent evaluator" rep before it even gets off the ground!"

That got a laugh out of Dan Stone's little girl. Oddly enough, for a woman with such a tough business rep, her laugh is awfully girlish. Almost giddy.

"Thanks, that came in handy."

"Oh yeah and tell Sean I still want him to fight Tamara on pay per view, dammit!"

"Yeah, I'm sure QAW's fans would love to see that. Not."

"Our fans love workrate, just like yours. Sean's over enough so that all we'd need to do is build Tamara and it would be a match for the ages!"

"I'll take your word for it, but I'll tell him."

"And if that doesn't work, he could always wear a dress. We could call him Shawna."

There's that tinkling, giddy laugh again.

"Hmm, that gives me an idea. I'll ring you after the pay per view."

"Uh oh...."

After a few status calls, I took the elevator down to the training level to deliver some vindication to one of my workers.

Thank you.

Remi interviews the Blondes
Blonde Bombshell says her team will be in the hunt for the Twinstar titles, no matter who is holding them after Revolution. She says Amber & Saffron improve with every match they compete in and will do so again tonight.

*

Future Shock (Jeri Behr & Sakura Sada) vs The Natural Blondes w/Blonde Bombshell
A match used to showcase the newly named team and show just how promising they are, it wound up being a stunning display of the aerial skills of all four women. While Jeri's gymnastics prowess was easy to see, Sakura's use of the ropes for all manner of springboard and slingshot moves also surprised many in the crowd. In the end, Jeri went to the high rent district a time too many as Saffron caught her. The Natural Selection and the pinfall soon followed.
Winners: The Natural Blondes
48

*

Clare & Emma scheme, Aurora and Brooke amused
The camera shows Clare South & Aurora backstage conferring over how the tag team match with their clients will be handled. Clare notices the camera and turns and addresses it. She says that since "getting rid of trash" and "ditching dead weight", Emma is now free to be the most dominant and destructive force in QAW. She states flatly that the Shockwave title is just the first step, as Emma sneers into the camera. Aurora and Brooke look on with amused smirks until Clare and Emma look in their direction, at which point they take on somber expressions.

*

The Super Powers & Bethany promo
After that quartet moves off camera (presumably to the ring), Bethany Hurst steps into the frame. She says that evil will never be allowed to prosper in QAW, not as long as there are those who will stand up and fight for what is right. Soon after saying that, the camera zooms out and Amazing Lass and Power Girl seemingly fall from the sky to flank Bethany. They nod into the camera, smile, and give a thumbs up before jumping straight up and out of the frame.

*

Emma Bitch & Brooke Dunn w/Clare South & Aurora vs The Super Powers w/Bethany Hurst
With two of the competitors totally unfamiliar with teaming with each other and the other two seeming to communicate telepathically, the match seemed to belong to the superheroes. But after Aurora slid something to Brooke, allowing her to blast Amazing Lass when the Lass-O seemed imminent, an exasperated Emma blind tagged herself in. Showing remarkable athleticism, she quickly knocked Power Girl off the apron with an enzuigiri style kick that reverberated throughout the small arena, before delivering The Payback to the fallen Amazing Lass for the victory.
Winners: Emma Bitch & Brooke Dunn

In a locker room backstage, Christina Charisma is talking to Olivia Diamond as Willow very demonstratively tries to illustrate strategy to Lady Melissa. Christina says, "You know, on the one hand, I want to wish you luck on Sunday but on the other hand, I don't." Olivia says, "Why's that?" to which Christina says, "Because whoever walks out of Revolution as the Shockwave champion has an impossible challenge in front of them." Narrowing her eyes, she looks at Olivia and says, "Me.". Olivia smirks and just for a moment, Christina's face turns an angry shade of red before she recovers and says, "If that happens to be you, let me show you a move that should save you from subtracting years from your career." With that, she begins tapping with an open hand on a nearby table. Olivia stares her in the eye and says simply, "We'll see about that."

Kinuye Mushashibo & Ashley Grover vs Christina Charisma and Olivia Diamond
Chaos from the very beginning, with discord sprinkled on top. While Kin and Ashley worked very well together, frequently tagging the other in to keep each other fresh, Christina and Olivia seemed the polar opposites. After finally growing fed up at a particularly languid tag attempt, Christina slapped Olivia and the match devolved into a no contest.
Winners: No one

Geena the Warrior Princess w/Sienna DeVille vs Amber Allen w/BJ O'Neill
A slowly built match that saw Amber use her technical skill to ground Geena, trying to neutralize her power advantage. And for much of the match, it worked. That is, until Geena rolled out of the ring to be admonished by Sienna who seemed to yell something at her with "heathen" in it, seemingly inciting the purported Warrior Princess. When she re-entered the ring, the match's complexion changed drastically as Geena put on a power based clinic. Hitting Amber with not one, not two, but three Strikes of Boudica, she made that ever expressive throat slitting motion. Amazon Plunge brought the match to an end.
Winner: Geena the Warrior Princess
46

Some of the other matches for Revolution are hyped, including the QAW Twinstar title match with the Canadiennes defending against Call of Duty, Kinuye Mushashibo defending the Shockwave title against Olivia Diamond, and Lady Caramel defending the Generation XX title against an as yet unknown opponent. Much is made of the latter as it is noted that the Generation XX champion has no way to prepare for her opponent.

*

Principessa w/BJ O'Neill vs Vixxen w/Sienna DeVille
A slow built match that worked up to the big finish of Vixxen dropping her opponent face first into the turnbuckle and following with the Fall of Reason.
Winner: Vixxen
64

Overall: 62


Notes:

- Hmm, fans don't like sports entertainment finishes. Gee, I wonder why.
- The building of the Bitch begins!

Going over the final details for Revolution, my phone buzzes.

"Chirac on line 3"

Chirac, the name of the salon owned by my old friend, image consultant Armando, is QAW's go to spot for worker reinvention. It was a call I was expecting, perhaps even dreading.

"Look, I...."

"Have you lost your damn mind?"

"Wait, I was...."

"You tell me to close the shop, I close the shop. Then you send me half the damn roster?"

"Err 'mando, that's not even close to half the rost...."

"Whatever. What the hell am I supposed to do with these girls?"

"The same thing you always do, reinvent them. Give them looks more befitting of women on an international stage."

"Oh you're not gonna talk your way out of this..."

"You've got the best image designers in the business working with you. These people cost, you know it and Lord knows I know it. Let them do what they do and it'll be fine. I trust yall like that."

"You and your silver tongue. Sometimes I wish you'd...."

"Hey, grow a uterus and some boobies and we'll talk. Until then, you know the deal. Besides, what would David say?"

"You mean when he's not out spending my money?"

"TMI, yo. Too. Much. Damn. Info."

"Bastard!"

"I got a pay per view to finish setting up. You just get the girls prepped and ready for their closeups and re-open the shop tomorrow. I need return on my investment, dammit!"

"Take your investment, shine it up real nice, turn it sideways...."

"Stop! Trademark!"

rev·o·lu·tion
   
/ˌrɛvəˈluʃən/ [rev-uh-loo-shuhn]
–noun
1.
an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed.
2.
Sociology . a radical and pervasive change in society and the social structure, esp. one made suddenly and often accompanied by violence.

The stage is set for Queens of American Wrestling's first major event of 2010: Revolution.

As our live event fans are no doubt aware, a rivalry has been simmering between the veteran joshi team of Seek & Destroy and young fan favorites the Crush Gals. At Revolution, the first head to head meeting between these two teams will go a long way toward establishing who moves closer to a dream shot at the Twinstar titles.

After annoying QAW General Manager Cheyenne, Generation XX champion Lady Caramel finds herself defending her title against an unknown opponent. While the young champion's self-confidence is obviously high, who could her opponent be and how will the champion adjust on the fly?

In a match made immediately following LiveWire, two women very familiar with each other lock up once again as Jana Marie Bowen takes on the newly resurgent force of Emma Bitch. Given the wave of momentum Emma has been riding since "disposing" of her tag team partner, how will Jana Marie seek to counter and even reverse that?

At Genesis, it began. At Revolution, it will end, as mat mistress Christina Charisma takes on the high flying force of Ashley Grover, one on one, for the last time. The winner of this match will solidify their contention for the Shockwave title while the loser will be force to retool and regroup. In this matchup of contrasting styles, who comes out the victor?

The QAW Shockwave title is on the line as "Baby Blue" Kinuye Mushashibo defends her title against "The Diamond Standard" Olivia Diamond. As proven on LiveWire, the Shockwave champion has an ever present bullseye on her back. Will Olivia find a way to come away with the title or will she be another woman sent down in a Blue Dream?

Upstarts Gina Heaton & Keisha Murrell set their sights high by targeting the mentor-protegé duo of Principessa and Amber Allen, known collectively as Girls Gone Wrestling. While the veteran world traveler suffered a setback on LiveWire, her protegé has seemingly been on a tailspin following a very promising debut. Can she find a way to turn things around or will she be the one used to illustrate that Gina & Keisha are indeed Cookin' With Gas?

In what promises to be an exciting meeting between two of North America's most storied workers, Cherry Bomb and Melody go one-on-one for the first time ever. While both women are newcomers to QAW, they've each made quite a splash in a very short time. Given the skill levels involved, who finds a way to win this matchup of indy favorites?

The Canadiennes bested three other teams at Genesis to become the inaugural Twinstar champions. Since then, they have proven to be amongst the most skilled tag teams in recent memory, of either gender. Canadian Angel and Québécoise, who have trained together since they were in grade school, seem to have an almost telepathic link when in the ring. However, Docent and Outrider are no slouches in that regard. With their pedigree as the protegés of arguably the best tag team of this generation, DAVE & TCW superstars the New Wave, the two young women have tag team excellence seemingly imprinted in their DNA. With "the Blue Belts" (as the Twinstar titles have been affectionately called) on the line, which team walks out of Revolution the undisputed best team in QAW?

Who can forget the look on Brooke Tyler's face as the Icons of Tradition's opponents for Revolution were revealed? Affliction, the team of the appropriately named Shooter Jaime Quine and Michelle Cox, have quietly built a reputation as the team no one wants to face. Between the smooth technical stylings of Cox and the stiff, hard hitting style of Quine, the two women find a way to make every night a long one (and the next morning even longer). Affliction's manager, the beautiful Persephone, has promised the Icons will be "stretched and pounded" at Revolution. Will that bring them the W or will wily veteran, the legendary Eric Tyler, find a way for his team to emerge victorious?

This meeting between the Latina Sensation, Joanne Rodriguez and the Aussie Assassin, Golden Delicious, came about as a result of the events of the mini-tournament to determine the #1 contender to the QAW World title. Following a distraction from QAW World champion Saving Grace's Coven, the Assassin capitalized to pick up the victory. This time, J.Ro has promised the result will be different. The winner of this match will stake a very strong claim at the #1 contender position, as stated by QAW General Manager Cheyenne. Will the body count rise by one as the Assassin claims another mark or can the irrepressible sensation halt the trend?

And in our main event, the QAW World title is on the line as the champion, Saving Grace, puts her title on the line against the quiet surge of Suzanne Brazzle? With her Coven cohorts watching intently (and perhaps doing more than simply watching), will "The Messiah of the Industry" become complacent? Can the quiet but intense Brazzle find a way to even the odds and walk away as the 2nd World champion in QAW history?

Join us this Sunday, only on pay per view, as these and many other questions are answered!

Welcome QAW fans, to Revolution. I am of course Stacy Simmons alongside the lovely Melanie Florence...
So pumped!
...and the legendary Thunder Hike.
Curiosity is slaying me.
We've got wall to wall action on tap so let's get right to it!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/LadyCaramel.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JasminePerlot_alt1.jpg
Caramel starts up and the QAW Generation XX champion Lady Caramel comes out, accompanied by Jasmine Perlot. Looking ever so confident and not the least bit concerned, the champion strides purposefully to the ring to await her challenger.

After a moment, the Queenscreen lights up with a familiar face, getting a pop from the crowd.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"Hello ladies. You're wondering as well as everyone else about who your opponent's going to be. I won't keep you waiting any longer. I'll just say that in this business and in this company, you've gotta have....well, you'll see."

After a pregnant pause, With a Spirit (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c_H3MWVx6JU) starts up and the crowd is confused by the unfamiliar song...until a young woman comes bounding out.

"Oh my G..."
"Well, I guess we don't have to ask if Thunder knew about this..."
"That's HEART!"

Several people in the crowd recognize the young woman and react enthusiastically as she smiles modestly and waves a peace sign before locking eyes with her opponent. Seemingly disconcerted by close to 17,000 people chanting her name, she walks slowly, deliberately down the ramp before sliding into the ring. As she enters, her body seems to visibly calm and, as she fixes her cool almond eyes on the champion, a hint of a smirk crawls across her lips as she senses the obvious discomfort across the ring.

"Lady Caramel doesn't seem quite so sure of herself anymore."
"She shouldn't be. Young HEART has come a long way in a relatively short time. This won't be easy for the champion."

HEART Saitoh vs Lady Caramel w/Jasmine Perlot

From the very first lock-up, it was apparent that the champion wanted nothing to do with HEART. Using dirty tactics in full view of the ref, she attempted on several occasions to get herself disqualified but Isis would have none of it. After five minutes, the match's pace picked up as Lady Caramel took the fight to her challenger, but slipped up when she cornered HEART for a series of knife edge chops. After three chops, HEART reversed their positions and laid into the champion with chops like she had been taught, which were obviously much stiffer, the sound reverberating through the almost packed arena. As her comeback continued, HEART countered the champion's rush out of the corner with a drop toe hold, slamming Caramel's head to the mat. Throwing up her obviously favorite hand sign, she waited patiently as the champion tried to rise, just beyond the reach of Jasmine trying to pull her out of the ring and as she rose to a knee, HEART hit the ropes and dropped the champion with the HEART's Horizon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDY_qkLwaS4). Pumping her fist, she dropped down to make the cover. Referee Isis makes the count...1.....2.....3, and we have a new Generation XX champion!
Winner & NEW Generation XX champion: HEART Saitoh
44

That was a helluva way to start!
Yet another example of how far young HEART has come.
Congratulations to HEART as she is now the first double champion in QAW history.
Double champion?
She's the reigning 5 Star All-Asian champion as well.
Ah. Well congrats to her.
Our next match is a clash between two of the most promising teams in the Twinstar division. Let's go to the ring!

Seek & Destroy w/Krystyna vs The Crush Gals w/Monique


A dazzling display of tag team virtuosity, the match moved at such a dizzying pace that it was hard to keep track of who was legal. Given the gap in experience level, there were times when Martina was obviously being carried by whoever she was in the ring with. At one point, the managers looked to go at it which drew laughs from the crowd as the obvious size difference put the kibosh on that (Monique runs a very well filled out 6'1. Krystyna, not so much). In the end, it was collective experience that won out as Martina went for the Candle in the Wind and mid-move, Ikuko Temko spun her into the rack and, as Makiko and Meg traded stiff knife edge chops on the ramp, the Pendulum sealed the deal.
Winners: Seek & Destroy

After the match, as Monique and Megumi gathered around her, Martina came to her senses. Realizing what had just occurred, she collapsed into a fit of tears. Apologizing profusely, she turned to leave the ring before Megumi grabbed her arm. Spinning on her heel, she caught Megumi with an open hand slap easily audible from even the nosebleed seats. Climbing from the ring with a heartbreakingly despondent look on her face, she walked up the ramp and to the back without looking back."What was...?"
"I think young Martina is growing tired of losing. More than that, she seems to blame herself for it."
"We may have just seen the end of perhaps one of the most promising teams in QAW."

The camera cuts backstage to a locker room as a woman is skipping rope.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpg
Maintaining a blistering pace, she does all of the various tricks with the rope, including throwing straight kicks while remaining in rhythm. The sound of a door busting open is heard but the Bomb doesn't respond, still keeping her pace brisk, her back to the doorway. The camera pans around to show the intruder.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NinaTheBallerina.jpg
Nina barges in with a crazed look on her face that quickly turns to confusion.
"You're still here."
"Yup. Why wouldn't I be?"
"Well, usually when I come around, people scatter. Why haven't you left?"
Still skipping rope, the Bomb finally turns to face the interloper and says, "In case you didn't notice, the name on that door is mine. Why would I leave my own locker room just because you show up? Besides, if you so much as move the wrong way, I will whip your ass."
Obviously surprised, Nina's confusion deepens. "You seem awful sure of that."
Nodding, the Bomb says matter-of-factly, "I've seen you in action. You're not in my league. No offense."
Utterly baffled, Nina goes to sit on a nearby couch when the Bomb says, "I didn't say you could sit down."
Shocked beyond measure, Nina thinks for a moment and asks, "Um, can I sit down?"
The Bomb stops jumping rope and, staring thoughtfully at Nina, says, "Yeah, tell you what, you do me a favor and I'll let you hang out here while I go beat Melody. I'll even overlook the door you destroyed."
"Sure. What do you need?"
With a devilish grin, the Bomb walks over and sits on the couch next to Nina and says, "It's no big deal. You can handle it easy.""Why do I have the most uncomfortable feeling ever?"
"Because you're human?"

Beautiful Life starts, heralding the imminent arrival of the QAW Shockwave champion, "Baby Blue" Kinuye Mushashibo with Chloe. As the champion goes from turnbuckle to turnbuckle, raising the title and exhorting the fans, Danger at the Door starts, drawing boos from the crowd as, after a minute, Olivia Diamond comes out followed shortly thereafter by Willow. Egging the crowd on, Olivia puts a hand to her ear, mocking the fans as she and Willow arrogantly take their time walking to the ring. A thoroughly disgusted referee Isis waits until Olivia climbs fully into the ring before immediately calling for the bell.

Olivia Diamond w/Willow vs Kinuye Mushashibo w/Chloe Dean


Kinuye charged her challenger at the bell, peppering her with stiff chops and kicks and backing her into a corner. A thumb to the eye put a stop to her momentum and, as the referee warned her, Olivia jumped and planted her knee in the champion's chest and immediately went for a cover, only getting a long one count. Quickly getting back to task, she dropped a knee on Kinuye's head for another quick one count.

"She's not going to get Baby Blue that way."

As the match's momentum went back and forth, the end seemed near as Kinuye laid into Olivia with chops, following with an enzuigiri, sending Olivia tumbling to the outside in exaggerated fashion. The challenger looked hurt and the concerned look on Willow's face and the still manner of Olivia's body brought the ref over for a look. As a result, she never saw....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NinaTheBallerina.jpg
"OH MY GOD, Nina Hammer on the champion!"
...and she had no choice but to count when a quickly recovered Olivia climbed gingerly into the ring and made the nonchalant cover.
Winner & NEW QAW Shockwave champion: Olivia Diamond
44


"I don't get it. Was that the favor or...?"
"...Nina being Nina. I haven't a clue. Why would the Bomb help Olivia Diamond?"
"I believe a rematch is in order."

As Ashley Grover and Christina Charisma with Lady Melissa make their way to the ring for our next match, the crowd reacts in a predictable manner. As both competitors enter the ring, Miss Independent starts up and another woman steps onto the stage.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"I just came out to advise you two that this match is now a Loser Leaves Town match. You lose, you're gone. And whoever wins had better win clean, or I'm not going to be happy. And if I'm not happy...." she lets that trail off as her music hits again and she waves to the crowd before heading backstage.

"Quite the revelation there."
"Our GM just took the stakes of this match and jacked 'em up a ton!"
"Genius...."

Ashley Grover vs Christina Charisma w/Lady Melissa

An unmistakably awful match that progressed relatively slowly as the two competitors honestly tried to stay on script. But with Ashley flitting around like a hummingbird and Christina trying to snare her at every opportunity, it devolved into a disjointed mess. Finally, Christina trapped Ashley by side-stepping a body press and, with Lady Melissa on the apron holding a set of brass knuckles she claimed Ashley tossed from the ring, the ref wasn't in position to see Christina choking the rope hung Ashley with her knee with a big assist from the top rope. When she finally released the illegal hold, Ashley was done. The C-Cutter on her limp form made the result academic.
Winner: Christina Charisma
37

As Christina and Lady Melissa celebrated and unceremoniously rolled Ashley out of the ring, a familiar tune starts up again as Miss Independent heralds the arrival of Cheyenne...and she does not look happy.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"Our general manager does not look happy."
"You think?"

"I know what I said before the match and I'm a woman of my word. Ashley, I'm sorry, but you've gotta go."
The crowd expresses their unhappiness as Ashley hangs her head and begins slowly walking up the ramp, waving to the fans. Christina and Lady Melissa trade a high five, which only makes the crowd angrier.
"Oh but Christina, I wouldn't be so happy if I were you. I told you I wanted a clean match. That wasn't a clean match. I am neither amused nor happy. So guess what? YOU'RE GONE TOO!"
The crowd erupts at the revelation as Christina and Lady Melissa express their fury and Ashley leads the crowd in signing the old standby.

"WHOA!"
"Whoa is right!"
"It was the only fair result but still took a lot of courage for Cheyenne to go through with it."

Curiously, as the segment draws to a close, the camera fixes on a well dressed woman sitting ringside with a pronounced grimacing look of displeasure on her face.

Who is that?
No idea, but she looks about as happy as Cheyenne did a minute ago.

As Gina and Keisha await their opponents in the ring, the naked drumline of Nolita Fairytale starts up before being accompanied by a lone piano and just when the song starts in full, the ramp erupts in pyro as three women proceed out onto the stage.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Principessa.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AmberAllen.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BJONeill.jpg
Amber paces the length of the stage, practically brimming with energy.

Amber looks like a caged animal up there.
It is a good look to have given recent events.

BJ throws a concerned look at Principessa who only smiles and waves Amber over and whispers something to her. She then says something to BJ which puts a smile on the manager's face. Trading a fistbump with Amber, the three women sprint down the ramp and into the ring, scattering Gina and Keisha.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GinaHeaton.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/KeishaMurrell.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HeatherB_alt1.jpg vs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AmberAllen.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Principessa.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BJONeill.jpg
Recipe for Success w/Heather B vs Girls Gone Wrestling w/BJ O'Neill

As Principessa starts the match off against Keisha, it becomes easily apparent what the younger duo's gameplan is as they isolate the veteran and take turns laying into her with simple maneuvers like short arm clotheslines, chops and kicks in the corner, taking full advantage of the ref's warnings by having the other partner get cheap shots in as Isis forced breaks. Amber didn't help matters by trying to intervene on several occasions before being forced to return to her corner or risk a DQ.

Nine minutes into the match, it seems Principessa is done and the young duo begin signaling for the finish. But it seems the international veteran was just conserving her energy as she tosses an elbow at Keisha on the apron, stunning her for a moment before lunging and clotheslining Gina, leaving both women down. As the crowd exhorted Principessa to make the tag and Amber stretched as far as her frame would allow, Gina makes the tag to Keisha who grabs Principessa's ankle....but to late to prevent the last second lunge that brings an irate Amber into the match for the first time. Keisha's clothesline is ducked and Gina gets a faceful of boot knocking her through the ropes. Turning just in time, Amber counters Keisha's charge by lifting her into a rack and dropping her with a samoan drop. A series of clotheslines puts Keisha down a few more times before a flapjack punctuates the comeback. Amber, beside herself with adrenaline coursing through her veins, grabs and shakes the top rope while stomping and letting out a feral scream.

YES AMBER! Let it out!
I take it you're enjoying this, Thunder?
Immensely!

Gina, who had been sneaking into the ring, charges Amber only to find herself on the receiving end of an overhead belly to belly suplex that rolled her right out of the ring upon impact. Raising her arms in a cross (and shouting "Whoop whoop!"), Amber now signals for the end. Grabbing the groggy Keisha, she snapmares her and rolls through into the Amber Alert, with a particularly vicious headscissor. It's only a few moments before Keisha is furiously tapping.
Winners: Girls Gone Wrestling

That was intense!
I believe we've witnessed something of a breakthrough for young Amber.
I'll say. That wasn't the same Amber we've seen up to this point.
I think it is important to note how she chose to end the match. She didn't want a simple pinfall...
She wanted her opponent to give up?
Precisely!

Emma Bitch w/Clare South vs Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta

This match was an example of domination. The surprising part was who was the dominator. Using quick attacks and precision, Jana Marie took the fight right to the powerful Emma. Unable to get her hands on her opponent to bring her power to bear, Emma had to absorb a great deal of punishment and grew increasingly frustrated. That frustration, of course, only led to more openings for Jana Marie and before long, the crowd was chanting "J-M-B" at near earsplitting decibels.

But as usual, it only takes one mistake to turn a match around and JMB's was made when she thought the end was near. Setting up for the Bowen Technique put her within a close enough proximity of Emma for a powerslam. From there, it was all Emma, battering JMB from pillar to post before punctuating things with The Payback.
Winner: Emma Bitch

Is it me or does Emma look....different?
Yeah, I noticed that too.

O Canada starts up and the crowd begins to boo feverishly as the QAW Twinstar champions emerge.

With Canadian Angel holding the Canadian flag and Québécoise holding Quebec's flag, the two woman come out waving their flags for all to see. With Marianne yelling indecipherables at the crowd and patting the belt around each woman's waist, the trio proceeds down the ramp and into the ring, where they tie their flags to a ringpost.

As the Canadian national anthem dies down, a familiar woman walks out alone to a decent reaction from the crowd.

Smiling and waving at the assembled fans, the smile quickly leaves her face as she looks at the three women assembled in the ring. Touching a hidden earpiece, she says something the microphones don't pick up, before Marching On starts. Spotlights come to life and the fans react as two women come parachuting to the ring from the rafters, sending the champs scurrying from the ring.

Docent lands on a turnbuckle after ditching her chute a few feet above the ring and, as is her wont, laid out the champions with a flying cross body.

Call of Duty w/Rachel Dearheart vs The Canadiennes w/Marianne

From the start, it was apparent that these two teams didn't care for each other. With overly stiff strikes and slams and drivers with more mustard on them than usual (which added a really realistic feel to the match, as Thunder pointed out), the match seemed destined to be QAW's firm match with color.

However, as time went on and the two teams became more accustomed to each other, the match flowed beautifully. Docent and Quebecoise provided the aerial effects while Outrider and Canadian Angel showed their familiarity with the mat and everyone going brawl crazy at regular intervals, it seemed we were set to crown new champions as Outrider set Quebecoise up for the Shock but had the Angel show off her aerial skills with a flying leg lariat that took all three women out of the ring. Rolling in at 7 to break up the count, Outrider tagged in Docent who waited patiently for Quebecoise to rise, then went for the MX Missile. But Quebecoise had it scouted and fought her way out, reversing into the Secession Sweep. As Outrider broke up the count, Marianne made her presence felt, climbing onto the apron to distract the ref long enough for Canadian Angel to drag her partner within tag range of her. As Rachel tries to get the ref to turn around, she does so just in time to see the tag made. Entering the ring on fire, the Angel drops Outrider from the apron with a running big boot, showing off her flexibility, before stalking Docent. The fans, knowing what's next, begin to voice their displeasure. The Destroyer makes for a successful retention.
Winners: The Canadiennes

"Our Twinstar division is on fire and only getting hotter!"
"It is surprising how much synergy each team has, given the youth of the women involved."
"Sometimes women just 'click', Thunder. And it's easier to develop when you have someone watching your back, isn't it?"
"It can be, yes."

The camera cuts backstage to Remi as he stands by with a woman staring intently at him.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpg
He raises the mic to speak but before he can say anything, the Bomb silences him with a hissing 'hssst!' before tilting her head to gaze into the camera. Making a production out of raising the mic in Remi's hand to a level she's comfortable with, she says, "When the Bomb first arrived in QAW, I told you what I was gonna do. I was gonna win titles, main event pay per views, and steal the show on my way to the Hall of Immortals. But then I was doing research on these girls and I found out something. The Bomb can be an immortal in two different ways! Yeah, yeah she can. So the Bomb's still going to do what I said I would do but I'm also going to produce immortal level talent. Like Ogiwara and Hike have done, like Victoria Stone tried to do, I'm going to take some of these girls and show them what it takes to be truly immortal. This process has already started...."

As if on cue, a face pokes into the shot, and waves to the camera cheerfully.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NinaTheBallerina.jpg
"....but that's just the start. Before long, the Bomb Squad, cuz that's our name, is going to be the gathering of immortals, current and future. We've won titles....."
The camera shot is filled with an object that becomes increasingly familiar as the camera focuses on it:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWShockwave.jpg
"...and will continue to do so. But before we really get started, we'll fill out our ranks with a few more girls I think have the potential to be immortals. But right now, I'm going to go out there and beat Melody and show my birthplace what they missed out on."
Walking off camera, the Bomb and Brie/Nina leave the shot as the focus returns to Remi. A few seconds later, two new faces poke into the shot and simultaneously say....

"BOOM!"

Replay hits and Melody comes out with a strikingly beautiful woman unknown to many of the fans.

Some of the fans react to the woman's presence ("If I'm not mistaken, that's Gabriela Ortega, probably one of lucha libre's most prominent non-wrestling personas"), which she smiles at before pointedly tapping on an iPad and showing something to Melody. Nodding at what she sees, Melody hugs the woman and runs down the ramp, sliding into the ring.

After a few moments of pumping up the fans, Boom shakes the arena, heralding the arrival of Cherry Bomb. However, on this occasion, she comes out accompanied by a group of women.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Willow_Clarity.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/OliviaDiamond_alt1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NinaTheBallerina.jpg
Smirking, the Bomb raises her arms and her pyro goes off in earnest, complete with simulated bomb sounds and explosions that leaves behind a curtain of smoke, through which the Bomb slowly walks, an intent look on her face. Olivia raises the Shockwave title over her head, eliciting a wave of lusty boos before the three women return to the back.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Melody_Trell.jpg vs http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpg
Melody vs Cherry Bomb

From the bell, Melody took the fight right to the Bomb. Rights and lefts paired with low kicks to the sides of the knees, the flurry both startled and confused the Bomb, obviously used to opponents hanging back.
"Melody's trying to take away the Bomb Drop. Can't do that move without a firm base. Very good strategy."
Always in motion, Melody peppered her opponent with dropkicks and arm drags and the most basic of strikes, intending to keep her adversary off balance. However, the match's pace slowed down significantly when the Bomb drilled Melody with a June Butler-esque lariat, leaving both women down.

With the Bomb rising first, she starts slapping the mat viciously before popping up to her feet and slowly, deliberately, turning to face the now risen Melody. Melody, to her credit, fires off a series of rights and lefts....to no effect. With a shove, the Bomb sends Melody into the ropes and greets her face with a boot on the rebound. That apparently caused some discomfort as the Bomb begins trying to shake circulation into her lower extremities. In the process of doing so, Melody sees an opening and charges, throwing a looping overhand right. Judging by the crowd's reaction, the Bomb ducks under the swing and counters with a half nelson suplex that leaves Melody down and stunned. Picking up her opponent, the Bomb tosses her into a corner and peppers her body with stiff rights and lefts, breaking only when forced to do so by referee Isis before returning to unleash another barrage. Melody, fighting back, often has her momentum snuffed by some kind of underhanded tactic (like a thumb to the eye while the ref tries to force the Bomb away). Finally, with Melody largely limp, the Bomb pulls her from the corner and sets her up for what seems to be a vertical suplex. A cradle puts an end to those plans, though it only gets a 2-count. Livid, the Bomb puts the boots to her fallen opponent before signaling (with a throat slitting motion) for the end. However, it wasn't the Bomb Drop that followed, but a move she calls the Cherry Popper submission hold. Melody, to her credit, refused to tap until the Bomb clamped on an inverted headlock, intensifying the hold and earning the submission victory.
Winner: Cherry Bomb

The Icons of Tradition w/Eric Tyler vs Affliction w/Persephone

No mistaking it here, this was a match that showed the world what the QAW concept is about. A bonafide show stealer, these two teams, these four women, put it all on the line and put on a clinic in brawling, smooth chain wrestling, crisp mat wrestling, and a good bit of flying.

In the end, the match was decided not by the women in the ring, but by one of their chosen representatives. As Michelle trapped Tayla in the Crossface in the center of the ring, with Brooke recovering on the outside after taking a KO Kick to the gray matter, time seemed to slow. After a full two minutes in the painful submission move, Tayla refused to give up. It was down to Eric Tyler, who threw in the towel after nearly three minutes of watching his charge scream but refuse to give in.
Winners: Affliction
83 (!!!)

"That match was...."
"....wow."
"There is much fight in Tayla. The refusal to submit despite the pain is admirable. Not good for career longevity, but admirable."

So Cold hits and Golden Delicious and Autumn head to the ring with little fanfare. The fans boo them mercilessly and they exult in the hate being shown them. After a minute, Oye hits and the fans erupt, though no one comes onto the stage. Two or three minutes pass with the music still playing before it abruptly ends. The crowd gets restless and Autumn tells referee Isis, "I believe that's a win by forfeiture, no?". But before the ref can respond, Oye hits again...

...and a limping but obviously irate Joanne Rodriguez walks out onto the stage with Mercedes Gimenez and several backstage staff members trying to pull her back. Golden Delicious looks incredulous before a smile creeps across her face and she beckons her opponent into the ring.

Joanne Rodriguez w/Mercedes Gimenez vs Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson

Straight from the bell, Golden Delicious went straight for J.Ro's head. But straight from the bell, J.Ro was intent on opening a case of whoop ass on the Aussie Assassin. And so it went, as J.Ro seemed to get groggier with every shot she took her to vulnerable area but countered that with pure intensity. Finally down after a neckbreaker, she seemed to struggle to get to all fours as Golden Delicious prepared to turn J.Ro's head into an 80-yard fair catch. But on the approach, J.Ro dropped to her belly and, sweeping her adversary's plant leg, twisted her into a very familiar maneuver.
"Is that?"
"WHOA! She's got it cinched in!"
"Not quite, but she's close."
"THE CONCRETE KNOT! J.Ro's taking a page..."
"....out of Thunder Hike's playbook!"
"Very smart, that Joanne. As many times as I've applied that hold to her, it's not hard to fathom her trying to use it."
As Golden Delicious screamed, she inched toward the ropes. J.Ro's relative unfamiliarity with the move's mechanics made it less effective than it had been for one Tara "Thunder" Hike, but it was obviously agonizingly painful, judging from the victim. Finally reaching the ropes, Golden Delicious screamed for the break, which came just before the five count. With both women battered, the turning point of the match presented itself complete with a ribbon bow, as Golden Delicious tried one last lunge on her ruined legs and the Assassin fell into the waiting arms of Joanne Rodriguez, who greeted her with an emphatic J-Rocker.
Winner: Joanne Rodriguez

Suzanne Brazzle w/Hannah vs Saving Grace w/Sienna

With little fanfare and given the stakes, the two women tore into each other from the bell. But, as the match progressed, something seemed a bit off. Besides Thunder Hike having to clip several "What the..." and "Why...", Sensational Ogiwara would later note that Grace and Suzanne aren't yet skilled enough to call their own matches. Doh. What was still a very entertaining match (and far better than anyone would expect from a promotion of this size), turned out to be overshadowed by the matches that preceded it. Mercifully, Grace ended it with Redemption, successful in her first title defense.
Winner: Saving Grace

Overall: 79

On the heels of their first pay per view event of 2010, QAW is facing another stage in their one-sided war of words with Seattle-based AAA.

Early this AM, on local Seattle radio station WBST - The Best, their guest was none other than AAA owner Anne Stardust. After stating flatly that she did not see the PPV then contradicting herself with comments on former AAA workers' performances, she stormed out of the studio. But not before making several incendiary remarks that, contrary to what she might think, reflect worse on her organization than that of her target. In the interest of fairness, she was baited on several occasions by the hosts, wannabe shock jocks of no repute, with leading questions that she repeatedly responded to. Here are some choice quotes from what only amounted to a 34 minute interview.

On QAW's product:
- "I believe it's a bit dated and not suited for an American audience."

On QAW's fanbase:
- "I agree. I think that you really need to question your value as a person if their kind of wrestling appeals to you."

On QAW's longevity:
- "Really, if they're still running shows this time next year, I would be utterly shocked."

On AAA's view on TV and PPV:
- "You don't need television or closed circuit TV to grow. We've been growing at our own pace for over a decade. That should be proof enough."

The shoot style interview had the industry chuckling when faced with the contrast between the two promotions. While QAW's financials aren't readily available due to being privately owned, a quick comparison of attendances, viewerships, and PPV buys (the latter two of which don't even apply for AAA) paints a picture that adds to the comedic effect.

In other news:

- Stephanie Wade has raised eyebrows since signing with CWWF. Her debut match, in a losing effort to Ginko Kuroda in the opening match of Wednesday War two weeks ago, overshadowed the main event and very nearly stole the show. Currently juggling commitments with AAA and CWWF, it would be a shock if she wasn't signed to a development deal by year's end.

- Sources indicate CWWF officials are high on Brandy McDonald, believing her to be one of the hottest prospects on the roster. To that end, she's currently working a program with CWWF World champion Eve Grunge in the hopes of helping her develop faster. Given the cardio shortcomings of both workers, the hope is that they will push each other to improve so they can take on longer matches, which are a hallmark of the promotion's product.

- The debut tour of WINNOW, named 'The Counterpunch Tour', is set to begin Wednesday in Kanto. Newly signed to join them on the tour, 5 Star veteran "The Assassin" Raku Makuda. Given her devil may care style combined with WINNOW's balls to the wall product, highlight reels everywhere are bracing for new entries.

- There are rumors floating around that after the demotion of Viv Jacobs, Ashley Grover, and Christina Charisma, at least a few workers are planned for call up, though who those workers are has not yet been figured out. Some possibilities include British worker Thea Davis, who has been on fire during her time in CWS. Also possible is Japanese super prospect Dynamite Shohei, who has amazed CWWF audiences with her size, agility, and overall skill level. A dark horse could be LFC's Elyssa Anderson. Currently embroiled in a starmaking feud with LFC owner (and internet darling) Catherine Quine, young Elyssa even comes with a custom moniker: Technical Excellence.

- Reports out of Houston seem unanimous in their view that QAW's Revolution event was 'excellent'. Though the main event was overshadowed by the two matches prior (J.Ro over Golden Delicious and Affliction over Eric Tyler's Icons of Tradition), the consensus has been that even the low card performers surprised with the quality of their performances. It seems new arrival HEART Saitoh is set for a push, with 5 Star on break, and the debut of Cherry Bomb's signature stable has also drawn praise.

A good start for a largely neglected segment of the industry. With the widespread cooperation between promotions (with one notable exception), it appears the recent upswing in interest will continue unabated.

[Remianen]

"How ridiculous is all this now?"

As I walked into the training area and spied one person in particular, being kneaded like dough.

"I.....can't.....hear.....you......"

In a panicked high pitched voice, dripping with sarcasm, I continued, "Don't you realize what's going to happen if this fails? We'll be worse off than we were before!"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant5.jpg

Jumping on that almost immediately, she replies with a smirk, "The Bomb is here, failure is no longer possible."

"Oh, hey, there you are!"

I turn to see someone who looks very different without her customary makeup, obviously on her way out.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GraceHarper.jpg

"Hey Sherie."

"Heeeeyyyyy.......Gracieeeee", came the reply, as Sherie "Cherry Bomb" Guthrie, responded to the ministrations of the masseur.

"Hey champ, what's up?"

With a slight blush, "Saving" Grace Harper leans in conspiratorially, "I'm heading home but I just wanted to give you a heads up. Girl I trained up in Seattle when I helped with the Cat's Lair is about to graduate. I've been keeping an eye on her and helping her when I could. She'll probably sign with AAA since she doesn't have any other offers....."

"She'll have other offers. Count on that."

"Hehe, I thought so. See ya tomorrow."

Going over the rough estimates of our developmental rosters in my mind, I didn't know if we had room for any more in-ring performers. But when a worker like Grace Harper vouches for you, there's no choice but to make room, if necessary.

QAW Showcase - Week 1 February 2010

In the aftermath of Revolution, two new champions were crowned and two sets of champions escaped with their titles after hard fought battles.

By decree of General Manager Cheyenne, there will be no rest for the wicked (or the just) as with this Showcase, tag teams take precedence.

Fresh off their win at Revolution, Seek & Destroy will be in action. Have they finally seen the last of the Crush Gals?

Recipe for Success seeks to regroup post-Revolution, but they face a tall order as they face off against Call of Duty.

Smarting from their loss at Revolution, the Icons of Tradition will find no reprieve as they're in action, against the Super Powers.

Vixxen has been keeping a low profile of late, but that ends at Showcase as she teams for the very first time with Geena to take on the young Aussie duo of Jessie & Lexi, the Commonwealth.

We're told that the Bomb will also be in action but with and against who has yet to be announced.

And our main event is sure to be an instant classic. Fresh off of headlining Revolution, this time it's cooperative, as the Dream Team of Joanne Rodriguez and Suzanne Brazzle face off against their opponents from Revolution, Saving Grace and Golden Delicious. With all the bad blood that exists between these women, can Grace and the Aussie Assassin coexist for one night, long enough to produce a W? We'll find out.....at Showcase!

I'm nowhere near caught up, so I can't honestly make predictions at this point.

Just chiming in to say that I never thought to go with "Technical Excellence" for Elyssa. (Brandy, maybe, but not Elyssa.) It just never resonated in my mind. Nice touch!

Show's coming soon. Lost it (twice!) due to issues stemming from a dying/dead CPU fan. Highlights include: a stable debut, two worker debuts, and the naming of a new #1 contender to the QAW World title. Plus, the usual hijinx.

With hugs all around, the women make their way to the ring. As they get into the ring, J.Ro catches HEART's eye and signals to the turnbuckles, drawing a grin from the younger woman. HEART then ascends each turnbuckle in turn and raises her newly won title over her head, pumping her fist before drinking in the adulation of the fans. Mercedes raises a mic and says, “Buenas ST LOUIIIEEEEEE!”, before handing it off to J.Ro. As Joanne raises the mic, the crowd gets louder, drawing a smile from the Latina Sensation right before a chant of “J-Ro! J-Ro! J-Ro!” breaks out. As Jana Marie and Kinuye on opposite sides of the ring hold a hand to an ear, J.Ro waves the crowd down before speaking.
“You know, I've seen how things have been developing around here of late. I see the World champion and her group of zombies trying to terrorize this promotion....”
A round of boos alights through the crowd.
“...I see “The Bomb” drawing people to her....”
The boos turn into a mixed reaction, drawing a smirk from Joanne.
“We plan to stop the reign of terror before it gets started. But Suz and I didn't want to do it alone. We didn't want to bring in any of our former co-workers. No. We wanted to do that using the young talent that already exists in this company. We want to give them time to shine and show all of you just how good they are. To do that, we formed....TR1BE. And since you can't really have a tribe without a tribeswoman, we got one of those too. Most of you have never heard of her. Some of you who have, might not have a very high opinion of her. You'll be proven wrong, in short order.....”
Stomp Dance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_l2Zt_um6M) begins to play and the QueenScreen comes to life with images of various Native American dance routines and festivals before fading to an aerial shot of a person on horseback, galloping across a mesa, fading again to a silhouette of a woman drawing a bow.
“We've scouted her, we've all sparred with her and despite what you may hear, she is the real deal. So, ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce to you, the newest member of the TR1BE.....”
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AlexisLee_Self1.jpg
“.....Littlefeather.”
At the mention of her name, a young woman in traditional (read: stereotypical/gimmicky (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41BnbA9OOFL._AA300_.jpg)) Native American dress comes bounding onto the stage. After a moment of glancing around the arena with an awed look on her face, she makes her way to the ring. Immediately upon entering, she is yanked into a big group hug as J.Ro continues.
“TR1BE. That's what we're about. Suzanne and myself. Baby Blue Kinuye Mushashibo. Jana Marie 'Just Call Me JMB' Bowen. Melody, the Canadian Sensation. The heart of the TR1BE, HEART Saitoh. And now, Littlefeather. I'm going to make a prediction that many people will disagree with, but only because you don't know what I know. Every one of the women I just mentioned, will be world champion before this is all said and done. Count on it. Talent counts for a lot in this company, if not this business. And the talent you see gathered in this ring right now, is good enough to accomplish that. This starts tonight....”
J.Ro is cut off as Miss Independent (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbrU_TbSD54) begins to play, heralding the arrival of QAW General Manager Cheyenne. As she comes out, the crowd reacts, bringing a smile to her face.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
“Welcome to The Show, Littlefeather. I know your callup had to have been as big a surprise to you as it was to everyone in the back. But when you have not one but TWO headliners vouch for your readiness, there's nothing anyone can do but give you a shot.”
At that, Kinuye and JMB start playfully shoving Littlefeather before Melody yokes her into a weak headlock.
“Now, Joanne, you said this TR1BE thing starts tonight. Interesting. I have a bit of a quandary, a conflict of sorts. Y'see, the match I planned to open the show with isn't possible right now. A rematch from Revolution between the Crush Gals and Seek & Destroy. So I have a young tag team in Seek & Destroy that I'll have to tell that they're not competing tonight. That is, unless you have a suggestion...?”
Cut to the camera with a shot of the smile quickly developing on J.Ro's face as well as the excited group of women standing behind her.
“Give me a moment.”
J.Ro turns and a huddle commences with the expected number of emphatic exchanges bound to occur with twelve women trying to come to a consensus. Before long, they break and Suzanne Brazzle has the mic. Facing the ramp and Cheyenne, she says simply, “How's this sound? Seek & Destroy against....Jana Marie Bowen....”
The crowd pops.
“....and.....”Baby Blue” Kinuye Mushashibo!”
The crowd pops louder as Cheyenne smiles and says, “That'll do. That'll do juuuust fine. Oh and I hope you ladies are ready, because that match starts right.....now.”

Do I need to even say how huge this is?
Probably not.
I would not be surprised to see the newcomer Littlefeather paired with young HEART. From what I have seen of her work, they would make quite an exciting pair.

Seek & Destroy w/Krystyna vs Jana Marie Bowen & Kinuye Mushashibo w/Julie Forletta & Chloe Dean

A spirited contest that began with a surprise as Huntress Makiko opened with a standing dropkick on JMB, following it with a stiff short-arm clothesline. The match developed into a contest of wills, as JMB & Kin tried to keep the pace fast while Seek & Destroy took every opportunity to slow things down. In the end, fast won out as JMB countered a Temko Pendulum attempt into the Bowen Technique.
Winners: Jana Marie Bowen & Kinuye Mushashibo

The camera cuts backstage to find Golden Delicious and Autumn Gleeson walking in the locker room area. Autumn says, “I don't think this is wise....” before Golden comes to a door with 'The Coven' on a placard and bursts in to find three women looking at her expectantly.

As QAW World champion Saving Grace stares up at the intruder, world title belt in her lap, she blinks for a second before saying, “Peace, Geena.”. The camera pans around to find Geena the Warrior Princess, hidden by the shadow of the door, spear in hand and raised to strike, slowly relax and lower her weapon. Autumn mutters, “Told you.”
The champion regards her uninvited guest with mirth in her eyes as she says, “Step no further but please, I'm curious as to the reason for this interruption.”
“Right. Well, we're teaming tonight and I want to make sure we're on the same page.”
“And what 'page' would that be, exactly?”, the champion inquired.
“The winning page. I want to make sure you're out there to win, not to play mind games or summat.”
“Your concern is noted. Now, if you will excuse us....”
Angered at being summarily dismissed, Golden leans as if she intends to leap at the champion before a 'hssst!' sound from Autumn catches her attention. As she turns, she sees the cause for alarm as Geena has the spear poised to strike and pointed at her head. Leaving, Golden says, “It's just as well. When I take your title, it'll relegate you and your freakshow crew to sideshow status.” As she left, she didn't turn back to see the looks of utter amusement on the faces of the champion, Sienna, and Vixxen.

Recipe for Success w/ Heather B vs Call of Duty w/Rachel Dearheart

Right from the start, Keisha and Gina seemed like women possessed. With an opportunity to face the most recent #1 contenders to the Twinstar titles, they tried their damndest to make the best of it. And make the best of it they did...with help, as in the 9th minute, O Canada hit the speakers and Marianne walked out onto the stage before slowly heading down the ramp, drawing the attention of everyone in the ring. Thus, few people saw Canadian Angel spear Outrider clear out of the ring before Québécoise dropped Docent with the Secession Sweep before sliding out of sight. Ah, but Keisha saw it. Replays would later show that it seemed she was expecting it by the way she moved into a corner as Marianne came out. The Fame Dropper was totally unnecessary (excessive even) but the final match result read Recipe for Success defeated Call of Duty.
Winners: Recipe for Success

After the match, Marianne slides the Twinstar belts into the ring as Canadian Angel tosses Outrider back into the ring. As Québécoise lays the titles out, Canadian Angel sets Outrider up, looking for the Destroyer. Just as she has her in position, Trust A Try hits and a trio of Blondes comes out, sprinting to the ring.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AmberGreenway.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SaffronGreenway.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BlondeBombshell.jpg
As Amber and Saffron slide into the ring, they're immediately set upon by the four active women. Instinctively moving to back-to-back position, the sisters adopt a defensive stance, fighting off their attackers while steadily turning around. A lunging Keisha takes a boot to the face from Saffron. Québécoise feints to one side and charges the other but Amber isn't fooled and drops her with a short-arm clothesline. Impressive, but the numbers start to work against the siblings before the favor is returned as Docent uses the ropes to springboard into a shoulderblock, catching Canadian Angel between the shoulder blades and propelling her into a twisting spinebuster from Saffron. As Gina moves forward to take advantage of the kneeling hothead sister, she steps right into an enzuigiri from Amber. As Québécoise looked to bail from the ring, she turned right into the wolfish grin of Outrider. After a few seconds contemplation, the two women begin trading blows The crowd starts to go crazy, drowning out the warning of Marianne who saw a situation developing when Outrider inexplicably fell to one knee but was followed by the flying form of Docent delivering a crossbody to the unaware Québécoise.

Having had quite enough, the heels roll (or are pulled, in the case of Québécoise) from the ring and gather at the base of the ramp, licking their wounds as the four women left in the ring beckon them back in and pose for the crowd. Injecting perspective into the encounter, Marianne raises the Twinstar titles over her head and in the background of the shot, Gina and Keisha can be seen staring at the upraised titles with unmasked desire as Heather B whispers something into their ears.

A tenuous alliance between the champions and RfS?
Tenuous being the operative word.
I don't think any champion can feel secure in any of their relationships with fellow competitors.
Melanie is wise.

The cameras switch to the parking lot to show a young woman in street clothes alternating between approaching the backstage door and leaving.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MartinaBaker.jpg
On one occasion, as she's seemingly decided to enter, the door opens and someone asks, “Are you coming in?”
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SensationalOgiwara.jpg
Taken aback, Martina Baker replies, “Yes. I mean, no. Ah, I don't know.”
“What troubles you?”
“Losing, that's what. That's all I seem to be able to do. And the worst part is, I'm dragging Meg down with me!”
“Hmm, how many matches have you had?”
“Um, I dunno. Like five?”
“Three. You have worked three matches. You've won one of those matches.”
“Correction, Meg has won one of those matches.”
“Ah, but you must learn what it means to be a member of a team. It doesn't matter who scored the pinfall. You were both involved in progressing the match to that point.”
“Yeah but I'm killing Meg's career!”
“How so?”
“The name Megumi Nakajima means something in Japan. Isn't she considered like the future of joshi puroresu, along with DEVIL? If she's losing all the time here, that's going to make her look bad. Especially since QAW is seen in Japan.”
“And you think Nakajima-chan didn't realize there would be a rough start when she chose to team with a rookie? You think she didn't know that you would be the weak link until you learned and obtained some experience?”
“But...well....”
“It wasn't so long ago that she, was you.”
“That can't be....”
“It is. I was there. But what made her different is that she was always trying to learn, always trying to get better. She didn't storm out and want to quit after two losses.”
The biting remark hits home and Martina hangs her head before asking, “How do you deal with losing?”
“Everyone is different. However, the best ones tend to come back better after every setback. Your partner, for example.”
“Hmmm.....”
As the camera pans around and zooms, two women can be seen on the other side of the ajar door.

The Commonwealth w/Ceri Dordevich vs Geena the Warrior Princess & Vixxen w/Sienna DeVille

The match began with great promise for the young duo from Down Under, as they used their superior speed and agility to keep away from the veteran goth duo. Striking hard and seeming to disappear before a retaliation could be made, kept them in control during the earlygoing. The momentum shifted instantly though, as Lexi went for a springboard enzuigiri off the top rope, showing amazing hops, but wiped out as the veteran Vixxen dropped to her knees to avoid the maneuver. Lexi then spent the next five minutes in no woman's land, being alternately pounded by Vixxen and Geena, with Sienna at ringside shouting encouragement. Finally, Vixxen hit the Fall of Reason on Lexi and, as Jessie sought to break up the pinfall, she failed to notice Geena crouched in a corner, bouncing on her heels. The Strike of Boudica put her down like Old Yeller and the chance for an upset was dashed.

“Intensity. Endurance. Perseverance. Ingenuity. Opportunism. These are the Tenets of Tradition. And there are no two girls who personify those tenets than the Icons. We're seeing all these groups sprout up all over the company claiming to be building for the future. There's a lot of talent in this promotion and much of it would benefit from being mentored by a legend. I've produced (in one way or another) the two hottest prospects this business has ever seen. Future Twinstar champions, hell, future WORLD champions. Tonight, you'll get another example of what I'm talking about...”
“May I?”
“Go right ahead.”
“Hello, I'm Tayla Martin. Like my partner, I am second generation wrestling royalty. You've seen what Brooke and I can do together but there's one thing missing. One problem we intend to rectify. There's no gold around our waists. Canadiennes, you're good. Very good. But we're better. And at Beaches, we intend to prove it. You show up with those belts and we'll take them off your hands.”
“But tonight, we've got the superheroines to deal with. Power Girl and Amazing Lass, you're strong. But tonight we'll find out if you can carry the Weight of Tradition.”

The Super Powers w/Bethany Hurst vs The Icons of Tradition w/Eric Tyler

Surprising action from the hero duo, as Amazing Lass immediately played possum, drawing Brooke Tyler in, apparently targeting her left arm. With a hammerlock followed by a drive into their corner and quick tags, they isolated the Tyler scion effectively. Showing their inexperience, they pinned Brooke several times within easy reach of the ropes. In fact, it was their inexperience that cost them the match as, with Brooke visibly worn down, a double team Irish whip got Brooke close enough for Tayla to blind tag herself in which the ref saw but the costumed duo missed. Tayla entered like an inferno, taking her opponents down repeatedly. A textbook Twist on the Rocks on Power Girl left her down as Tayla spun to meet the charging Amazing Lass, launching her into the air as Brooke seemed to materialize out of nowhere to complete the Weight of Tradition. Now stalking Power Girl, the legal woman, she waited for her to rise before a boot to the gut doubled her over and the TMZ (and pinfall) soon followed.

The Dream Team w/Mercedes Gimenez & Hannah vs Saving Grace & Golden Delicious w/Sienna DeVille & Autumn Gleeson

A matchup with bad blood running all through it, this was a slowly progressing affair. As expected, Grace and Golden Delicious didn't get on well, as J.Ro and Suz operated like two halves of a whole. Blind tags ruled the day as the heel duo repeatedly tried to one-up each other, often allowing the babyface team time to recover when they argued. Finally, Golden Delicious tagged herself in one time too many, invoking the ire of the self-proclaimed savior, allowing a battered Suzanne time to stumble into her corner and make the tag to the relatively fresh J.Ro. Sizing her opponents up as they got into a shoving match, she put them both down with a double clothesline that sent the World champion to the outside. With Sienna holding the title belt, the champion waved off the action in the ring in disgust and started to make her way up the ramp. Noticing that, J.Ro and Suzanne whipped Golden Delicious into her corner, where she frantically looked to make a tag...to find no one at home. Staring at the ramp (and her supposed partner backing up said ramp), she fumed before rushing out of the corner, into a tandem Japanese arm drag. With the crowd on its feet, J.Ro and Suzanne made the sleeping gesture and sized the rising Golden up. Dream Street followed, with J.Ro making the pin as Saving Grace smirked on the ramp.

“Congratulations on the win, ladies. In particular, congratulations are in order to Joanne Rodriguez for scoring the pinfall. That makes you.....the #1 contender for the QAW World title.”
The announcement sets Sienna off, as the world champion stares daggers up at the General Manager before shrugging and turning to look at her next opponent. As J.Ro makes the obligatory belt gesture, Saving Grace stares at her in disinterested fashion as Sienna continues to fume beside her.

“WHOA! That is huge news! For the first time ever, Joanne Rodriguez goes one-on-one with Saving Grace with the QAW World title on the line!”
“That's a dream match if ever there was one.”
“It is a match I very much look forward to watching.”

As the cameras begin to fade, a woman sitting in the crowd is shown with a look of disgust on her face at the announcement.

QAW LiveWire preview - Week 1 February

After an eventful Showcase, LiveWire keeps the heat on with a slew of top notch contests.

After a period of rest following her win at Revolution, Emma Bitch has stated she intends to make her presence felt at LiveWire.

The official QAW in-ring debut of the newest member of TR1BE, Littlefeather, takes place as the Native American squares off against the recently out of hiding "Snow Bunny" Jeri Behr. Jeri Behr has also made it known that she has a message to send to QAW Generation XX champion HEART Saitoh. Will she choose her match with HEART's compatriot to send that message?

One half of the Crush Gals, the re-energized Martina Baker, is in singles action against the seasoned, high flying Sakura Sada. Eagerly seeking the winning path, can Martina overcome the veteran joshi bird of prey?

TR1BE comes out in full force as Jana Marie Bowen prepares to go one-on-one with Brooke Dunn and "Baby Blue" Kinuye Mushashibo squares off with Lady Caramel.

And in our main event, following their stunning upset of Call of Duty, Recipe for Success look to make an even bigger impact as they collide head-on with....AFFLICTION!

OOC: So I've kinda been pulled away from this due to RL. Took my old job with Viacom temporarily (in TEW terms, it's a short-term contract :p) right before the VMAs and with the addition of BET to our workload and this being award season (VMAs, SCREAM, EMAs, Hip Hop Awards, Soul Train Awards next week, etc), we've been jacked up. But I'm intent on doing two shows a week for the diary starting tomorrow with LiveWire so we'll be back on track ASAP. Thanks to the folks still following along after the ridiculously long hiatus.

[Stennick]

What division of Viacom are you employed with that your workload would span so many different stations and events? Television is usually very split up and specific so I would have thought that the people working in these specific television stations, BET, MTV, Spike, would carry the workload for these different events and Viacom wouldn't hire people specifically for help with all of these projects instead of just one. Anyway I've not seen the mother company do much work on the actual events and I'm downright obsessed with my job field and even how others operate such as Viacom, etc. so I thought that was interesting.

I work in Viacom's travel department. That encompasses ALL of the networks and even the smaller divisions like Atom Films and EpixHD. I was brought back because I was available (accounting is boring :( ), experienced, and perhaps most importantly, experienced with the account in particular. And people like me. :) :p But when negotiating what amounts to an outsourcing contract (in this case, a travel management agreement), Viacom as a whole has far more clout than the individual networks do. And many of the names you might be familiar with are actually parts of the whole. Harmonix, for example, is the crown jewel of the MTV Games division (XFire was in the same division until it was sold a few months back), which is a part of MTV Networks. Look here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_Viacom) and it should be easier to understand. I didn't realize BET and Paramount were part of the whole because in my previous stint on the account, those two were booked by another travel management company. But they were brought into the fold when that contract expired.

Across the street from 1515 Broadway (headquarters) is a Bubba Gump Shrimp Company restaurant. I didn't know Viacom owned that too until a co-worker told me and then pointed out a big neon sign in one of the side windows (facing 1515) that says, "We (Heart) MTV".

Stacy Simmons Sakurako Kagawa Rebecca Richey

Hello everyone and welcome to LiveWire! I am Stacy Simmons alongside the Lizard Queen herself, Sakurako Kagawa and the always insightful Rebecca Richey and boy, do we have a show for you tonight!
The in-ring debut of Littlefeather is what I am looking forward to. She has much flash but can she deliver where it counts?
Aye, and how will Recipe for Success deal with the formidable challenge of Affliction?
We'll also hear from.....

Stacy is interrupted as the lights go out and the QueenScreen alights with a video of a massive green dragon in flight. With Come With Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMPj8c676po) accompanying, the camera follows the beast as it flies in circles before landing with an audible thump (and camera shake), cranes its neck left and right, spots the camera, roars and then spews a toxic green cloud of gas at the camera, completely obscuring it. The video ends with a cryptic message:
COMING SOON
TO
QAW
What was that about?
We have a dragon coming....
I don't like the sounds of that.
Well, the Lizard Queen's curiosity will wait no longer as our first match is the official in-ring debut of the newest member of TR1BE, Littlefeather. Let's go to the ring!

Jeri Behr vs Littlefeather


From the outset, it seemed a one-sided affair but not the side most expected. Obviously affected by nerves, Littlefeather was initially no match for Jeri, who seemed intent on making a name for herself at the expense of the new interloper. However, she took too much time setting up her handspring slingshot back elbow, time the young Native American woman used to slide clear. From there, it was all Littlefeather, showing just how much she's learned. Jeri, feeling her hard fought win slip, slip, slipping away, turned up the aggression only to find that her former showgirl opponent had morphed into a counter wrestling machine. Her clothesline ducked and countered into a neckbreaker. An irish whip got her a hip attack for her troubles. And finally, being irish whipped to the ropes got her spun around twice and before she knew it, she found herself on the receiving end of the Feather Fall and the bell was ringing.
Winner: Littlefeather
38

Not bad for a debut.
She must learn to contain or channel her nervousness. A superior opponent would not be taken down quite so easily.
I wouldn't say that was an easy win, yeah?

Our usual backstage interviewer could not make the trip to sunny Hawaii but I do have the pleasure of introducing a new addition to the QAW family who is standing by backstage with.....someone? Everyone welcome Yuko Okui!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/YukoOkui_ewanite.jpg
Hello. I am Yuko, and I am standing here with QAW Shockwave champion, Olivia Diamond and Willow.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/OliviaDiamond_alt1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Willow_Clarity.jpg
Willow: I know you're new here so let me show you the proper way to introduce the champion. You say, I am Yuko and it is my honor and privilege to share the same air as the QAW Shockwave champion, The Diamond Standard, the chosen one of the Bomb Squad, Olivia and her beautiful, cunning manager, Willow.
Yuko: Hm.
Willow: Nevermind. On behalf of The Bomb, who is currently soaking up some rays on the beach, driving all the guys mad with desire, allow me to welcome you Yuko.
Yuko: Thank you.
Willow: Don't interrupt me ever again. Now, some lucky and undeserving woman is going to get a free shot at this QAW Shockwave title...
Yuko: Tonight?
Willow: What did I tell you about interrupting me? Did I say tonight? Maybe I would have if I hadn't been so rudely interrupted. No, not tonight. On Monday, on Showcase, someone's going to hit what they think is the lottery. It'll only end in pain and disappointment though.
Willow puts an exaggerated frown on her face.
Olivia: The bylaws say I must defend this title at least once every 30 days. I'm a fighting champion so I plan to defend it more than once a month. But, after Monday night, I'll defend it when and where I want to. I plan to hold this title until The Bomb tells me it's time to take the world title from whoever is unlucky enough to be holding it at the time. Learn to love it because it's not going to change.
Yuko: Hm.

Bold words from the Shockwave champion.
She is proud. She must take care that that pride does not...
...lead to a fall? Yeah, she must.

Martina Baker w/Monique vs Sakura Sada


Martina used this match to prove to herself, as well as others, that she belongs here in QAW. While her in-ring style isn't nearly as polished as many, she showed she is quickly learning how to involve the crowd in the match. After spending half the match as the babyface in peril, she made her comeback at a blistering pace. After two failed attempts at what seemed to be the Nakajima Straight Jacket, she abandoned that tactic and successfully hit the Candle in the Wind for the pin and the hard fought win.
Winner: Martina Baker
28


Martina's back on the winning track!
Looks like that talk with the Sensational One helped quite a bit.
It usually does.

A video plays, the scene: a sparsely populated beach. As the camera pans around, someone can be seen making a castle in the sand, complete with red bucket.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NinaTheBallerina.jpg
The camera pans and zooms a bit more to show a rather stacked woman lying in a lounge chair with a bottle of suntan lotion in hand.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant5.jpg
A young man comes over and asks with a smile, "You need some help with that?". The flame haired woman flexes an arm and snarls at him, sending him scurrying down the beach. As the camera takes his place beside her, she glances over and, putting her sunglasses on, says, "The Bomb is watching, always. She's on the lookout for more talent, future immortals, to add to the Squad. The Bomb wants more gold. She wants the Twinstar titles and she wants Generation XX. She already has the World title taken care of. And what The Bomb wants, the Bomb gets. So she's watching, looking for that special team to deliver Twinstar gold. She's looking for that special youngster, to bring her Generation XX. And after Beaches, she's going to take the World gold. Remember that. The Bomb is watching, always. And what The Bomb wants.......The Bomb gets."

Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta vs Brooke Dunn w/Aurora

From the outset, it appeared young Brooke took The Bomb's words to heart as she came out with all guns blazing. Unfortunately for her, JMB is anything but a slow starter herself and the match swung back and forth for several minutes. Brooke's strategy seemed to center around taking out JMB's base with a series of half and full crabs and assorted leglocks never held for very long, but long enough to take a toll. After a trio of desperation dropkicks, JMB tries for the Bowen Technique but doesn't have the base to pull it off as Brooke counters and locks in a hastily/sloppily applied Sharpshooter. JMB struggles to get to the ropes to break the hold and does but is visibly in serious trouble. Outside the ring, Julie starts pounding the mat, exhorting the crowd into a J-M-B chant while Aurora tells them to shut up. Brooke covers for a long two before attempting another Sharpshooter. But as she takes her time setting it up, mocking the crowd with her own J-M-B chant, the real JMB torques her body and locks in a rather unique variation on a familiar submission maneuver (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJYyxmW1CBE) (that she would later dub the Bowen Arrow). It isn't long before young Brooke is forced to give up.
Winner: Jana Marie Bowen
48

A video plays, with Eric Tyler on voiceover, highlighting the House of Tradition.

"The House of Tradition has history. It has a present day. It has a future. Some might say its future shines brighter than its past ever had. A fair point, and one that I may agree with if you ask me in a year or two. However, the House of Tradition is about respect. It's about honoring those who came before you and doing them proud. It's about outsmarting superior opponents and emerging victorious. But more than that...."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EricTyler_nacht04.jpg
The camera focuses on Eric Tyler, leaning casually against a wall, looking rather unconcerned....

...the House of Tradition is about impact. Our impact, begins tonight."

Lady Caramel w/Jasmine Perlot vs Kinuye Mushashibo w/Chloe Dean
Locking up in the center of the ring, into a simple headlock, irish whip sequence, it appeared Lady Caramel had Kinuye well scouted. Stopping short when Kin attempted a leapfrog put her in perfect position to catch Baby Blue and plant her with a sitout powerbomb for a quick two count. From there, the stiffness meter went up a few ticks as Caramel followed with a series of kneelifts to Kinuye's forehead, punctuating the exchange with a facebreaker. Stomps followed, as Kinuye tried to get to her feet. Playing to Jasmine and the crowd (tapping her temple in a supreme show of intelligence), she exhorted her opponent to get up. When she did, Kin got a faceful of boot, courtesy of a pretty standing dropkick. Then the first mistake was made. As Kinuye used the ropes in the corner to rise to her feet, shaking her head clear, she had just enough forethought to drop to her belly as her opponent came rushing in with a running boot. Popping up slower than usual, she used the opportunity to lay into her opponent with kicks and chops before being reversed into the corner and chopped in return. As the match progressed, Kinuye's experience began to win the day until she signaled for the Blue Dream. Hopping onto the top rope, she waited for Lady Caramel to rise...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BrookeTyler.jpg
...before Brooke Tyler appeared at ringside and shoved her off the top rope into the waiting arms of Lady Caramel, in full view of referee Isis. As Lady Caramel grabbed her fallen opponent and planted her with the Cosmopolitan Driver, the bell rang, signalling the DQ.
Winner: Kinuye Mushashibo
49


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWbanner.jpg

But sadly, that's not how it ended. After a second Cosmopolitan Driver, Brooke took hold of the limp form of Kinuye and locked in the Brooke Breaker as her father sauntered down the aisle. Releasing the 'Breaker, another woman slides into the ring to join in the festivities.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/TaylaMartin.jpg
Grabbing Kinuye's limp form, Tayla smirks at her partner and, glancing around at the crowd, lifts her up in position for the TMZ.
Oh no!
Where are....?
The crowd roars as three women sprint down the aisle.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HEARTSaitoh_Self.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JanaMarieBowen_Self1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AlexisLee_Self1.jpg
Sliding into the ring, it turns into chaos, with the six women going toe to toe. Eventually, HEART and Jana Marie attempt to irish whip Brooke & Tayla into each other. The seasoned duo locks arms and spins....into stereo dropkicks. As Lady Caramel turns around, she finds herself in the crosshairs of one fired up Native American ready to spear her out of her boots, and she quickly bails from the ring. As the House of Tradition backs up the ramp with its newest member, they stare down their victim and her stablemates, beckoning them back into the ring.

It would appear the House has grown by one.
This can't be good.

Amazing Lass w/Bethany Hurst vs Emma Bitch w/Clare South
Not exactly a bad match, just not what was expected. While Amazing Lass is an extremely promising young talent, she wasn't quite up to the task of taking down Emma Bitch. The Payback put a merciful end to her attempts to do so.
Winner: Emma Bitch

Heather B: Challenge? Man, every day is a challenge in the Q, feel me? Did you see the ass whoopin' the House put on Baby Blue?
Gina: Call of Duty was a challenge and what happened to them?
Keisha: I'll tell you what happened. We beat them, in the center of the ring. Tonight, we make it two in a row when we take down Affliction.

As they head off to the ring, three new women walk up.

Hello. Recipe for Success believe they can beat you like they beat Call of Duty. Your thoughts?
Persephone: First off, welcome to QAW, Yuko. Secondly, they're young. They believe that pinning someone after they've been attacked is a true win. I can assure you they will learn valuable lessons tonight. Whether Michy makes them tap or Jaime makes them lose track of the last several hours via concussion, they'll learn these lessons and be better for it.

Recipe for Success w/Heather B vs Affliction w/Persephone

While obviously overmatched, Gina and Keisha were made to look like future champions. Hitting all of their soon-to-be signature spots, the young team actually looked like they might pull off the upset. However, Persephone was right on both counts. Gina and Keisha learned a myriad of things from this match, perhaps the best lesson being: don't rush either member of Affliction. As Gina ran headlong into a KO Kick and Keisha was taken down into the Cox Crossface, the result ceased to be a surprise.
Winners: Affliction
78

Overall: 70

QAW Showcase preview - Week 2 February 2010

The House of Tradition made a big splash by simultaneously adding a new member in Lady Caramel and putting Baby Blue Kinuye Mushashibo on the shelf for an undetermined amount of time. Eric Tyler has sworn to make the House's presence felt at Showcase.

QAW Shockwave champion Olivia Diamond has promised to give someone a shot at her title at Showcase. Who will it be and how will that be decided?

HEART Saitoh, livid at the attack on her friend, has thrown down the gauntlet, daring Lady Caramel to exercise her rematch clause on Showcase. Will the newest member of the House of Tradition take her up on her offer?

Amber & Saffron Greenway, the Natural Blondes, newly named #1 Contenders to the QAW Twinstar titles, take a trip to Japan as they collide with Seek & Destroy!

Amber Allen gets the opportunity of a lifetime (according to her opponent) as she gets to "participate in the making of an immortal" by going one-on-one with the inimitable Cherry Bomb!

And in our main event, after a perceived slight backstage at LiveWire, Autumn Gleeson is sending the Aussie Assassin, Golden Delicious to teach some manners to none other than Principessa!

All this and more! QAW Showcase, DON'T MISS IT!

After the opening pyro, the crowd reacts as With A Spirit starts up. The reaction grows as an unexpected person steps out onto the stage.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HannahPotter.jpg
As Hannah waves to the crowd, she notices the confusion and seems to remember something and points to the stage entrance where the current reigning QAW Generation XX champion bounds out, to a rousing ovation.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HEARTSaitoh_Self.jpg
Walking from one side of the stage to the other, blowing kisses and pointing at the fans, she then sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring, smoothly popping to her feet and holding her title aloft. Hopping up onto the second rope of each turnbuckle, she exhorts the crowd as Hannah makes her way to the ring. Mic in hand, Hannah signals to the crowd to bring it down some before speaking.
"Good evening, Houston. My name is Hannah and the ball of energy beside me is known as the HEART of the TR1BE and she is your QAW Generation XX champion."
HEART, wearing her title like a bandoleer with the plate strategically placed, points at it (and her heart) while smiling broadly as the crowd pops.
"She plans to keep the title for a minute. But there's one person she's particularly interested in defending it against. One person who has a guaranteed right to compete for it. One young girl with a contractual clause she can invoke at her leisure. She is the former Generation XX champion and we would like her to invoke that clause." Pausing dramatically, Hannah finishes. "Tonight."
The crowd voices their pleasure at the prospect as Hannah continues, "Y'see, it's in the best interests of all invol-" before Boom reverberates through the arena, followed a minute later by three women.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Willow_Clarity.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/OliviaDiamond_alt1.jpg
As the crowd offers up their displeasure, the three women walk down the ramp toward the ring.

Uh oh. This can't be good.

Stopping at the middle of the ramp, the Bomb takes the proffered mic from Willow and raises it to her lips, before lowering it again to glower at the ringside fans. Raising it again, she says, "Spleen, Liver, Appendix or whatever your name is, you have something The Bomb wants for the Squad. That trinket that you're so casually wearing like some kind of beauty pageant sash? Yeah, that's it. But realize that this isn't personal. I've seen your work and you do have some talent. But what the Bomb wants, the Bomb gets."
Smirking, Hannah says, "Well, if the Bomb wants this title, why doesn't the Bomb come on in this ring and take it?"
The crowd pops at the prospect before the Bomb shoots down the idea with "Uh, no. I gain nothing from beating the snot out of some girl mere months removed from clearing towels off a dojo floor. I have people to handle my light work.", which spurs Olivia to take a step forward before the Bomb's arm shoots out to stop her. As Olivia looks over at her, the Bomb tilts her head as if listening for something and the lights go down as a roar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rEzlJ6R7uY) reverberates through the arena, startling everyone. The sound of wings beating is heard as the QueenScreen alights with the video of a green dragon in flight as Come With Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMPj8c676po) plays in the background. This time, it seems there's someone riding the dragon as it makes its various turns, finally coming to rest with an audible thump that seems to shake the ground. As the dragon glares malevolently at the two women in the ring, in the half light, a human figure can be seen in silhouette, walking toward the entrance. The dragon cranes its neck left and right and, as it lowers its head, the figure's hand pats it almost affectionately before the dragon roars again and fills the screen (and the entranceway) with a green smoke. As the smoke clears and a spotlight illuminates the entranceway, a young woman comes into focus.

Willow then says, "Stand on your feet and welcome your next QAW Generation XX champion, the Dragon's Daughter, Ginko Kuroda."
Ginko walks down the ramp to join the trio as Willow turns to the ring and says, "Now, about that match...." before she's interrupted by Miss Independent, followed shortly thereafter by a very familiar woman, who the crowd reacts for.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
"Bomb, for a "future immortal", you sure do make a lot of mortal mistakes." As she smirks and enjoys the look of indignation on the Bomb's face, she turns her attention to the women in the ring. "Don't yuk it up too much Hannah because you made the same mistake." The crowd ooooooo's as Cheyenne continues. "Y'see, maybe you all have forgotten but I make the matches around here. I say who faces who and when. I decide who gets title shots. It's what I do. I'm The Decider."
A voice booms through the sound system, "Perhaps not for long." and a song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfSKoocUfqw) starts up. A woman walks out onto the stage and stops, looking around the arena.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AbiRomanov_dse81.jpg

Who IS that?
I'm guessing we will find out shortly.

Staring holes into Cheyenne, the woman produces a mic and says, "Greetings QAW fans, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Abigail Romanov and in addition to being heir to the Romanov aluminum and copper empire, I am also a member of the board of directors....of Queens of American Wrestling."

OH MY GAWD!
Crikey!
Interesting.

Pausing in dramatic fashion to let the shock and implications set in, she continues, "While our esteemed General Manager likes to wave her position around like a phallus of some kind, I can tell you that the board is not happy with the promotion's performance thus far..."

Not happy?
It's only been six bloody weeks!

"Thus, in the interests of improving company performance, I will be overseeing operations. The first order of business is, there will be no Generation XX title match tonight...."

The crowd voices their displeasure, clearly.

"...in fact, the board is currently considering making that particular title exclusive to the LiveWire show. The next order of business is the Shockwave title match. I will give the champion the opportunity to choose her challenger."

Olivia grins from ear to ear and looks into the ring. Carefully considering her options, she looks at the Bomb, smiles and turns to Abigail, taking the mic from Willow. "The opponent I choose is.....Kinuye Mushashibo." The Bomb smirks as she and Willow exchange glances.

WHAT?
She can't do that! She knows Baby Blue is out of action after the assault at the hands of the House of Tradition!
Shrewd move. Perhaps cowardly, but shrewd nonetheless.

"Very well, tonight it will be Kinuye Mushashibo challenging Olivia Diamond for the QAW Shockwave title!"
"That's going to be kinda difficult to pull off, what with Kinuye in the hospital after being attacked on Wednesday."

As the crowd laughs and smirks alight the faces of Hannah and HEART, Abigail's face turns beet red. Cheyenne continues with, "Why don't you let me do my job and handle making matches since it's obvious you don't even watch the shows or know anything about the goings on here."

Visibly calming, Abigail turns a baleful glare on Cheyenne and says, "Then I guess Olivia will win by forfeiture, won't she?"

Abigail turns to leave, amidst the loud boos emanating from the crowd before stopping, turning on her heel and walking up to Cheyenne. In a clipped tone, she says to the erstwhile GM, "And if you wish to remain employed, you will keep me abreast of the shows and the goings on here." After a minute long staredown full of unconcealed hate, Abigail walks to the back.

Defiantly, Cheyenne says, "Everyone clear outta here. Oh wait, not you Ginko. You have a match against Pixie Pinwheel. And it starts, oh, how 'bout right now?"

Ginko Kuroda vs Pixie Pinwheel

Nerves gripped Ginko, being her debut match in front of the world. She spent much of the match trying to get her hands on the fleet footed flyer, often taking shots she shouldn't have. But in the end, the young joshi woman gathered her wits and, after ducking an attempted Shining Apprentice and countering it into a Gutbuster, had young Pixie tapping with her Dragon Clamp (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SKb2zd6T9I).
Winner: Ginko Kuroda

A video plays showing a young woman lying in a darkened hospital bed with her head tightly bandaged. Interspersed as the camera zooms in are clips of the vicious assault perpetrated on Kinuye Mushashibo by the House of Tradition. Kneelifts to the skull, with exaggerated impact sound effects. The Brooke Breaker tightly applied, with forceful shakes for emphasis. And as the camera zooms in on the patient's face, she turns toward the camera as the voiceover switches to that of Eric Tyler saying:

But more than that...the House of Tradition is about impact. Our impact, begins tonight.

The camera cuts backstage to Cheyenne sitting behind her desk in her office. She smiles at the camera and says, "I understand that many fans have been disappointed by the decision made earlier tonight. Many of you paid, in part, to see HEART, Lady Caramel, and the self-proclaimed Diamond Standard, Olivia Diamond, in action tonight. While I cannot go against the orders of a board member, I can make it right in other ways. So, tonight, in fact, our next match, will see Olivia Diamond and Lady Caramel.....in tag team action against HEART Saitoh and a partner of her choosing. It's sure to be an enjoyable matchup."

Whoa! So far three of the most promising young talents in QAW, if not the world, competing in a tag match.
I wonder who HEART picks for her partner?
We won't have long to wonder as that match is next!

After Olivia and Lady Caramel make their entrances, With A Spirit fires up and the QAW Generation XX champion comes out, pumping up the crowd. She stops, and with a finger on her chin, begins to apparently think as her music dies down. A few seconds later, the fans have their answer as Stomp Dance begins and out comes Littlefeather with an unknown woman in tow.

The three women head down to the ring and within a few minutes, the match is underway!

Native Heart w/Katie Cameron vs Lady Caramel w/Eric Tyler & Olivia Diamond w/Willow

From the outset, it was obvious that Lady Caramel wanted nothing to do with either of the women from TR1BE. Every tag she received from Olivia was returned within 30 seconds and on three occasions, she was conferring with Eric Tyler at ringside while Olivia held out for a tag.

Finally, tired of being forced to participate, Lady Caramel hopped off the ring apron and backed toward the ramp, placing her in poor position to see who was coming down the ramp right at her.

As fist meets flesh and Lady Caramel collapses, she's grabbed under the arms by Eric Tyler and dragged over the crowd barrier. As the wily vet and his charge escape through the crowd, the three TR1BEwomen give chase as Willow rolls the still form of Olivia Diamond into the ring just before the count out.
Winners: Lady Caramel & Olivia Diamond

The chase is on, as Lady Caramel tears through the backstage area, with JMB, HEART, and Littlefeather in hot pursuit. She passes by several people standing around talking backstage....

...and begins a desperate sprint as she nears the parking lot area. Quickly gaining on their quarry, the women of TR1BE are caught unaware as two doors open suddenly, taking them down. As the aftermath plays out, two faces peek out from behind the doors...

"Let's go!" - the order is barked by Eric Tyler as the three women follow him out the side door of the complex and into a waiting car. As the car speeds away, the camera pans back to show the three women of TR1BE gathering their wits and clearing the cobwebs from their heads as medical staff members come running down the hall.

"Hm."

"Seek & Destroy, with the lovely Krystyna, this is quite the opportunity for you. Beating the #1 contenders has to put you square into the Twinstar title hunt. How do you prepare for such a pivotal match?"
"You are sweet. Listen to him, Yuki."
"Yuko."
"Whatever. Look, the Blondes are a flash in the pan. Seek & Destroy has done it all. They've faced, and beaten, the best teams in the world. Just ask Sensational Ogiwara and Thunder Hike. Now that we're rid of the Marilyn Monroe lookalike and Megumi Nakashima...."
"Nakajima."
"WHAT-EVER! Now that we're rid of them, we can concentrate on earning what is rightfully ours: the QAW Twinstar titles. Let's go, girls."

As Remi gives a telling smile to Yuko and "Natural Born Killaz" starts up for Seek & Destroy's entrance, three women approach the interview set.

"Bombshell, Blondes, we've just been enlightened by Seek & Destroy and Krystyna. Apparently, you're in the way of their pursuit of the Twinstar titles."
"They're right."
"Hm?"
"Uhh, they are?"
"Yep. Y'see, to get a shot at the QAW Twinstar titles, they've got to come through us. After Beaches, in order to get the Twinstar titles, they'll have to go through us. So yes, they're right. We're in the way. We will ALWAYS be in the way."
"So you're expecting a win here tonight, leading into your title match with the Canadiennes?"
"Seek & Destroy is a veteran team and they've accomplished a lot. They've beaten some of the best teams in joshi. But, and here's the thing, they haven't.....beaten......us. Toodles!"

The Natural Blondes w/Blonde Bombshell vs Seek & Destroy w/Krystyna

In a match that came off far better than expected, Seek & Destroy took the fight right to the #1 contenders. Showing no fear or hesitation, the joshi duo gave the Blondes all they could handle, proving themselves credible forces in the Twinstar division. But they were undone by rage. As the volatile Saffron exchanged shots with the veteran brawler Temko in the center of the ring, a gutcheck was called for as they went blow for blow for over a minute before Temko surprisingly succumbed to the onslaught (with a Flair flop). With a primal scream, Saffron was even able to fend off the charging Huntress by tossing her over the top rope. Pointing to her sister, she hoisted Temko and Natural Selection was served once again.

Winners: The Natural Blondes

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWbanner.jpg

The camera cuts backstage with Remianen centered in the shot.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming, a woman who needs no introduction....."

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpg

The crowd reacts surprisingly positively, as the Bomb smirks into the camera.

"Bomb, tonight you take on one of the young guns of QAW, a future superstar in Amber Allen. Thoughts?"

"The Bomb is going to surprise you and all of these people when the Bomb says, I like Amber Allen. She's definitely got talent and loads of potential. At this stage, she's better than Olivia. She's got quite the future ahead of her...."

Staring coldly into the camera, the corner of her mouth begins to curl into a smile.

"....but that future isn't tonight. And while she might be better than the Diamond Standard today, Olivia has the Bomb, molding and shaping her into the best in the business. Amber has....who? Principessa? A woman who isn't even in the same galaxy as the Bomb? No, Amber is going to be limited by who she has to mentor her. Tonight, the Bomb is going to show her how little she's been taught. Gonna be a hard lesson but these things often are."

The Bomb then stares at her right hand as it rises to chin level and, tilting her head to the camera, she starts making a hand sign but before she can actually say anything, the walls of the arena shake as the crowd says, "BOOM!", drawing a snarl from the Bomb as she walks out of the shot.

Moments later, Remi is joined by two women, bemused expressions clear on their faces.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BJONeill.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AmberAllen.jpg

"Ladies, you've heard the comments from the Bomb. On the one hand, she acknowledges that Amber is a better worker than her charge Olivia Diamond. But on the other hand, she says that Amber has hit her ceiling while Olivia still has more room for improvement...."
BJ cuts him off by saying, "And she also insulted Principessa. Not in the same galaxy? I notice you make those remarks but don't follow them up with any attempt to prove that what you say is true. When you grow a pair and want to do so, come see me."
Amber interjects, "Listen, all this talk is boring. Yes, I am better than Olivia Diamond. One day soon, I'm going to prove it and when she taps out, I'll be the next Shockwave champion. But the Bomb claims to know more than she actually does. As someone who has worked all over the world and in every conceivable style in this business, Principessa has taught me some of the most important lessons a student can learn. Adaptability, pace, and strategy. All these things that a person who has only worked in the US and Canada is not likely to know when faced with a puro or lucha or catch opponent."
"You do have quite the impressive all-round game."
"Thank you. But there's a reason for that. Tonight, win, lose, or draw, Bomb, you're going to know you were in a fight. Tomorrow and the next day, when you get out of bed, you'll be reminded of the fight you had tonight, and like the song goes, you will remember my name."

Amber Allen w/BJ O'Neill vs Cherry Bomb

Excellent match that threatened to steal the show. From the opening bell, Amber went to work on the Bomb's left leg ("Smart strategy. Remove her base and you take away both the Popper and the Bomb"), causing the veteran to limp in short order. When it seemed like Amber had the upset sealed, the Bomb showed why she is among the best in the business. Blocking a german suplex attempt, she reversed it into a german of her own. Still limping and trying to shake some circulation into her right arm (the victim of an attempted Amber Alert she barely escaped from), she tried for her old eponymous finisher but her leg buckled, allowing for a pinfall attempt by Amber. Kicking out at two, she rolled from the ring and attempted to walk the pain off. Amber's inexperience showed as she rolled out after her opponent and chased her halfway around the ring before the Bomb slid in and, waiting for just a moment, while Amber slid in and rose to her feet, the Bomb put the kibosh on any upset talk by dropping Amber to the mat.
"That's the Diamond Cutter!"

Winner: Cherry Bomb
73

As her theme music plays, the Bomb slides from the ring and, backing up the ramp, she smirks at her fallen opponent as four women walk onto the stage, applauding.

As Amber stares up the ramp, Olivia raises her title belt over her head, pointing to it and then to herself as Amber seethes in the ring.

Amber Allen is met on her way to the locker room by a very familiar face.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Principessa.jpg
"Hey, don't be so glum. You did good out there. You formulated a game plan and you executed it nearly to perfection. You've got nothing to be ashamed of."
Amber nods as she and BJ head off to the locker room just as Remianen approaches.
"Part of the job of being a mentor?"
"Part of the job of being a friend."
"So I take it you have some words for the Bomb?"
"Words? No. She's the Bomb. Flapping her gums with empty words is what she does. She's famous for that, right? No, I'm not even thinking about her. She's not worth thinking about because I'm not facing her tonight. The person that I'm thinking about is the one I'm facing. The Aussie Assassin. She's a competitor actually worth worrying about."
"Ouch! Well, while it's true the Assassin is quite the tall order, I'm guessing there's a collision between you and the Bomb...."
"I haven't heard anyone say anything about a match. All I've heard is what galaxy I'm not in. What does that even mean? I'll cross that bridge when it's right in front of me."

Principessa vs Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson

A match totally overshadowed by the semi-main, Principessa just tried to survive against the onslaught from the Aussie Assassin. While she made a serious go of it, even managing to pin Delicious for a long two count, her prospect of winning looked dim. Until a running charge by Golden was countered with a low dropkick to the knee, sending the Assassin hurtling through the ropes to ringside. Just as Principessa moved to leave the ring in pursuit, Boom! hits the arena sound system.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpg

"So the Bomb isn't worth thinking about, eh? I'll tell you what, maybe I'll be worth thinking about after this...."

Dropping the mic, the Bomb, wild-eyed and furious, begins to make her way down the ramp. Halfway down, she stops and that unsettling smirk develops on her face as the crowd begins to react. Turning around, Principessa finds herself on the receiving end of a Melbourne Surprise.
Winner: Golden Delicious
66

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/QAWbanner.jpg

Retrieving the discarded mic, the Bomb says, "Hey Principessa, are you hungry? Because you've just been given food for thought."

Miss Independent fires up and Cheyenne comes out.

"Awesome! I think we have a match for the next Showcase, don't you?"

The crowd erupts at the mere suggestion.

"Oh no, not the one you think. No, next week, I've got a present for the Bomb Squad and their erstwhile leader. You see, next week, the entire Squad will be in action. First, the Bomb and her prized student will face off against....Girls Gone Wrestling, Principessa & Amber."

As the crowd voices their approval, Cheyenne walks down to the ring, pointedly skirting the Bomb.

"How do the infomercial guys say it? But that's not all! Nina and your new arrival have a test of their own. Let's see how well you fare when faced with, hmm, I wonder....AFFLICTION!"

The Bomb, nonplussed, with that eerie smirk still in place, says simply, "You can't do that."

"Oh? And why is that?"

That song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfSKoocUfqw) starts up again, followed shortly by a woman who elicits passionate boos from the crowd.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AbiRomanov_dse81.jpg

"Because you didn't clear it with me first."

The show closes with Cheyenne in the ring staring holes into Abigail as the Board member and the Bomb smirk up at her.

After the explosive events of Showcase, LiveWire emanates live from Puerto Rico. With QAW board member Abigail Romanov intent to show she knows enough to do "this wrestling booking thing", LiveWire features an action packed show that will prove or disprove her belief. In this edition of LiveWire, all titles will be defended, by order of the board representative.

HEART Saitoh will defend her Generation XX title against Sakura Sada. If The Hawk gets a decent updraft in her wings, we could see a new champion crowned.

The Shockwave title will be on the line as "The Diamond Standard" Olivia Diamond, defends her title against Kuniko Matsura.

The Twinstar titles will be up for grabs as the Canadiennes do battle with The Commonwealth. An opportunity of a lifetime for the girls from down under, courtesy of the board representative.

And finally, in our main event, QAW World champion Saving Grace defends her title against none other than 'JMB', Jana Marie Bowen. While in line for a shot at the Shockwave title, JMB could find herself leaping right to the top of the ladder, if she can overcome the formidable challenge of "The Messiah".


All this and much more as QAW comes to you with high octane action on LiveWire!

As Anne Stardust went over the booking sheet for the forthcoming show with her chosen booker Leo Price in her usual taciturn manner, two women walk into her office, lightly rapping on the door.

"What is it?", Stardust asked, testily.

"Well, I just came in to hand in my notice," the brunette replied, exchanging an uneasy glance with her blond companion.

"Notice? What, are you leaving or something?"

"Yes."

"You can't leave, we have a contract."

"A verbal agreement, yes. But I was offered and accepted a written deal. Exclusive."

Anne snorts derisively before replying. "You? Who would want to sign y...."

As realization dawned, Leo Price leaned back in his chair running his hands through his hair and slowly exhaling as Anne Stardust's face turned beet red, a precursor to the explosion that followed.

"GET OUT! GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE! You disloyal tramp! I signed you off the scrap heap when Sam Strong had no use for you. I DID. And you repay me like this? WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? I SAID GET OUT!"

"Anne...", Leo Price tries to interject.

"You shut the hell up!"

As the two women turn to leave, shock and disappointment etched on their faces, the blond lingers for a moment before turning to follow her friend. Head held high, what had been a difficult decision was completely validated by the previous five minutes. Walking confidently, she smiles at her friend who offers a halfhearted grin in return. As they exit the building, the white car at the curb seems to symbolize the first steps to a new beginning. Hugging her friend, the woman begins the walk, energized by the challenges lying before her.

Abigail lays down the law
Abigail Romanov opens the show in the ring. She says, "Welcome to QAW done right. Tonight, all titles will be defended for you, our fans. Since your attention spans tend to be very short, I feel we need to remind you of who the champions are and the best way to do that is to have them defend their belts, often. So, on behalf of the board of directors of Queens of American Wrestling, enjoy the show!"


I don't know about this....

*

Sakura Sada vs HEART Saitoh(c) for the QAW Generation XX title
Perhaps the worst match in the promotion's history, Sakura Sada tried to hit as many spots as she could, as HEART tried (and failed) to keep the match together. The HEART's Horizon put a merciful end to the proceedings.
Winner: HEART Saitoh
16

*

Post-match assault
As soon as the bell rings, HEART is set upon by Ginko Kuroda. As Kuroda and Sada team up to decimate the champion, Caramel hits the speakers, followed shortly after by Lady Caramel and Jasmine who take their time walking down to the ring. Once inside, she takes a mic from a ringside attendant and, grabbing a handful of the champion's hair, hisses, "You want me to invoke my rematch clause? You got it. See you at Beaches, precious!" With that, she slams HEART's head to the mat and begins raining punches down on her, before security hits the ring to break it up.

*

Kuniko Matsura vs Olivia Diamond (c) for the QAW Shockwave title
While Kuniko's fervor at this unexpected opportunity carried her through much of the match, to the surprise of no one, Olivia retains with a neat Diamond Cutter off a hotshot setup.
Winner: Olivia Diamond
41

*

The best and no less
Persephone runs into Abigail backstage and requests a match, tonight, for the best tag team in the company. Abigail scoffs at that notion and tells Persephone to prove to her that her team is the best in the company. RIGHT NOW!

*

Recipe for Success w/Heather B vs Affliction w/Persephone
In a very good match, Affliction put on a clinic while making their opponents look like bonafide contenders. After spinning out of an attempted Fame Dropper, Michelle caught the charging Keisha and locked in the Crossface for the submission victory.
Winners: Affliction
78

*

Abigail comes out and mentions how she read once that the best tag teams of the past often worked multiple matches per night. "Let's see how you measure up," she says, as Natural Born Killaz hits.

*

Seek & Destroy w/Krystyna vs Affliction w/Persephone
Another sterling effort from both teams as the Huntress and Ikuko isolated Michelle for most of the match. After twelve minutes of nonstop abuse, with quick tags keeping her off balance, Michelle ducks under a double clothesline attempt and rolls away to make the hot tag to Shooter. Housecleaning commenced, followed shortly thereafter by a KO Kick and the pinfall victory.
Winners: Affliction
78

*

Saving Grace is interviewed by Yuko Okui. She talks up her opponent for tonight as a young upstart perhaps destined to be a world champion in the future. "But that future is quite a ways away. Tonight, you will receive salvation, whether you want it.....or not.".

*

The Commonwealth w/Ceri vs The Canadiennes (c) w/Marianne for the QAW Twinstar titles
Better than expected performance by two young teams who laid it all on the line. With the champions showing that they can fly just as well as the challengers, Jessie and Lexi were thrown off their gameplan. It wasn't long before Lexi was airborne out of the ring and Jessie fell victim to the Canadian Crash.
Winners: The Canadiennes
69

*

As #41 starts up, the crowd reacts and scattered chants of "J-M-B" can be heard, soon followed by the woman herself. Looking nervous but focused, she sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring and pops to her feet before letting off a single fist pump.

Savior starts, as the lights go down, and the members of the Coven all emerge, with one notable absentee. The lights flash one time before going almost dark and in the half light, a figure is seen standing behind JMB. As the lights come up and crowd notices, the roar of warning they sound prompts Jana Marie to turn around.....right into a knife edge chop. And we're underway....

*

Jana Marie Bowen vs Saving Grace (c) w/Sienna DeVille for the QAW World title
An excellent match in which Saving Grace really put her opponent on the map. Taking her fury before throwing it back at her, had the audience on the edge of their seats. With several false finishes, the match was decided purely on experience as Grace reversed the Bowen Technique into Redemption for the hard fought pinfall victory.
Winner: Saving Grace
76

*

After the bell, as Grace impassively stares down her opponent leaving the ring, offering a slight nod of respect to her younger foe, the place erupts as Oye! reverberates throughout the arena, which can only mean one thing. The Latina Sensation herself, Joanne Rodriguez comes out to a thunderous ovation. Draping her arm across JMB's shoulders, she whispers something to her before raising her arm, to the delight of the crowd. Turning to stare daggers at her opponent at Beaches, J.Ro mouths some choice words before making the familiar belt motion, drawing a scoff from the champion as we go off the air!

After a week of internal squabbling, we're told that we will learn the fate of the leadership of QAW at the next Showcase! As a result of the turmoil, the only thing we can promise is that The Bomb Squad, in its entirety, will be in action as well as Affliction, Girls Gone Wrestling, and none other than the Latina Sensation, Joanne Rodriguez. Not to be outdone, the House of Tradition has made it known that they'll have an announcement of their own to make.

Join us for the next QAW Showcase!

Stacy Simmons Melanie Florence Thunder Hike


Good evening everyone and welcome to Showcase, the flagship broadcast of Queens of American Wrestling. I am Stacy Simmons, joined by the ever insightful Melanie Florence, and the professor of the technical masterclass, the legendary Thunder Hike. In the aftermath of....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Vixxen.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GraceHarper_jhd2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GeenaPrincess_FIN.jpg
Stacy is interrupted as the lights go out and flicker back to half life as the entryway fills with smoke and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me begins to play. As the quartet who comprise the Coven step out onto the stage, the lights begin to dance eerily, setting the smoke into strange patterns that seem to envelope the four women. After a minute of staring out over the assembled crowd, and Vixxen baring her fangs at the cameraman, Sienna begins to walk down the ramp, followed by Geena and Vixxen flanking the QAW World champion, Saving Grace.

“I'm betting they're not coming down here to sell the fans Girl Scout cookies?”
“I think that would be a safe bet.”

As the four women enter the ring, Sienna calls for a microphone before pacing as the music begins to die down. But, to her visible dissatisfaction, as the music goes down, the crowd volume rises, with the fans voicing their displeasure at the sight in front of them. Each time Sienna brings the mic to her lips, the crowd grows louder. Eventually, she snaps.

“SHUT UP! Heathens, lost souls, except you....”

She points to a fan wearing a black shirt with 'I'M SAVED BY GRACE' in Gothic lettering on the front.

“HEAR ME! I am dismayed. For the last two weeks, all anyone's talking about is some “power struggle” and I don't understand why. There is only one power in this company and she stands behind me as the QAW World champion. You malcontents talk about some general manager or board member when none of that matters. What matter is, you all come here seeking salvation, seeking redemption, seeking a purpose for your menial lives. You know as well as we do that there is only one person who can save you. One person who can redeem you. ONE woman who can give your life the purpose you long for. That woman is your....no, that woman is OUR savior. She is the one with the power of a celestial. She is the one with the speed of thought. She is the one with the agility of energy itself. She is your QAW World champion, Saving Grace.”

Sienna hands the mic to the champion as the crowd lets the boobirds go in full voice. As the champion raises the mic to her lips, I'm Only Happy When It Rains starts up, interrupting the proceedings. After a long minute, out comes the expected....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AbiRomanov_dse81.jpg

….trailed by the unexpected.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg

As the music fades, Abigail raises her microphone with an amused look on her face.

“That was a really good speech...”
“Promo”
“Promo. I really felt your passion. Now, I take exception to what you said. What we do is important. Every ship needs a driver...”
“Captain”
“Captain. It just so happens that Cheyenne and I have come to an agreement. I was both surprised and encouraged by the depth of knowledge this young woman has. She's been following this business most of her life and you can tell that by how she goes on and on and on talking about its history. I can respect that. But while she is intelligent and obviously very attractive, she is also very young. And the problem with the young is, they're defiant. They don't respect authority. So, I'm going to let her do what she was hired to do, on a probationary basis...”
“What? Probation? We didn't....”
“...with all final decisions coming from me...”
“...you said I'd have full control....”
“I changed my mind, honey. I'm not giving you the keys to this billion dollar car until you've proven you can be a good captain.”
“DRIVER!”
“Whatever. So young general manager, what's our first match going to be?”
Cheyenne leans in and whispers to Abigail who says, “Try again. Nobody wants to see that.” Cheyenne then stomps off backstage, exasperated.
“You see? Defiance. That will have to change. But just to prove how right I am and how wrong she is, let's see that match she wanted. It's going to be Suzanne Brazzle....against Brooke Dunn.”

“I don't think the board member knows our fans. Brooke Dunn is quite the up & comer.”
“Seeing young Dunn against a capable, accomplished veteran like Brazzle will tell a lot about her desire and future prospects.”
“I agree with the legend.”

Brooke Dunn w/Aurora vs Suzanne Brazzle w/Hannah

Never one to take an opponent lightly, Brazzle was cautious in locking up with Dunn. But once the opening pleasantries were dispensed with, the match pace picked up in a hurry. While obvious to the trained eye that Brooke was being led through the match, the fans ate it up. After putting her opponent down with a swinging neckbreaker, Brooke begins playing to the crowd. As Brazzle slowly gets to her feet, Brooke runs at her, looking for the Well Dunn but mid-move, Brazzle shows her technical acumen by countering and reversing the move. Holding Brooke suspended in the air, the fans went nuts, knowing what was next. Miracle Connection and the pinfall.
Winner: Suzanne Brazzle
74


Quite a way to start the show.
Indeed. And perhaps validation for our young general manager.

Jessie McVeigh w/Ceri vs Ginko Kuroda

From the start of the match, Jessie's strategy was to stay out of Ginko's reach. Hit & run attacks, using a variety of springboard moves, had Ginko down. But it didn't last long. In a momentum shifting turn, Ginko stepped out of the way of an attempted dropkick and seized control of the match. A Wyrmkinde (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG50GQAGfrQ) and the pinfall soon followed.
Winner: Ginko Kuroda

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BrookeTyler.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/TaylaMartin.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EricTyler_nacht03.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/LadyCaramel_alt1.jpg
Pilgrim starts up, heralding the imminent arrival of “The Hardcore Icon” Eric Tyler and the House of Tradition. As Eric leads his charges toward the ring, Lady Caramel makes a show of putting a hand to an ear and exhorting the crowd to boo louder. As they enter the ring, Eric signals for a microphone, unbuttons his suit jacket, and begins to speak.
"I have said on several occasions that the House of Tradition is about respect. It's about impact. These young ladies have made quite the impact thus far, wouldn't you say?"

The crowd boos lustily as the video of their brutal assault on Baby Blue is replayed.

"In the coming weeks, you'll see the ranks of the House swell with young women eager to make an impact. But make no mistake, this will be no open recruiting call. No, only the best and brightest will have the honor, the privilege, of studying at the most prestigious school in this business."

With a self-satisfied smirk, he turns to hand the mic to a ringside attendant until a hand grabs his arm, stopping him. Tayla Martin looks at him and can be seen mouthing, “I have something to say”. Eric hands the mic to his adopted niece and steps back.

"Something's been bothering me for the last few weeks. Uncle Eric, you say the House is about respect. It's about impact. You've been in this business for decades. You've won titles allllll across these United States AND Canada and even done a few tours of Japan with Warrior Engine. Hell, some people say the East Coast Wars were won...because of you."

"This is true."

You've fought for this business. You've bled for this business, all over the world.

That's true too.

"That, to me, makes you a legend. So why, pray tell, is it that every time this show opens, someone who never left the safety and confines of her home country until the END of her career, why is that person regarded as a legend?"

With that, Tayla's gaze settles upon Thunder Hike at the announce table.

"Please, I'd like to hear why Thunder Hike is “legendary”."

As Thunder removes her headset and hesitantly makes her way into the ring, the crowd begins a “THUN-DER” chant.

Now, you can tell me. What puts you in the same class as my Uncle Eric?

Tayla, now wait...

I have seen your uncle's work. He was brutal yet eerily cunning. Always looking for that one opening that would end the match....

You didn't answer the question so I'll ask it again. Maybe you're losing your hearing in your old age. What makes you a legend like Eric Tyler?

It is not a title I bestowed on myself, nor is it one I demand be used in ref....

The arena reverberates with what sounds like a gunshot, as Tayla Martin slaps the taste out of Thunder Hike's mouth. Taking the mic as Tayla goes nose to nose with the joshi legend, Brooke says, very quietly, "We ask you a question and you launch into riddles and tangents. The question is simple: What makes you a legend like my father?"

Glancing at the crowd, the Mistress of the Concrete Knot narrowed her eyes and, taking one step forward, looked Brooke Tyler in the eyes and simply said, "Because, like your father, I was...am, the best in the world at what I do."

Visibly cowed, Brooke Tyler responded in the only way she knew how: by slamming the microphone into the veteran's face, spurring her stablemates to begin the inevitable pounding. As Thunder Hike fought back gamely, she was overcome by the numbers game, but not before a double leg takedown on Lady Caramel. But as the beatdown intensified, the crowd reacts as a solitary figure walks out onto the stage. As her image fills the QueenScreen, Tayla Martin is the first to catch a glimpse, quickly signaling her cohorts who turn to face the person brave enough to interrupt the festivities.

Beckoning her to come down to the ring, practically licking their chops at the opportunity to take out two international legends, their stance only changes slightly as another woman walks out to stand beside her mentor.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HEARTSaitoh_Self.jpg
Nonplussed, the members of the House of Tradition continue to goad the pair to come down to the ring, as their erstwhile leader looks on with a curious expression on his face. That expression turns to one of concern as more women come out from the back to stand beside the legend.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AmazingLass.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/PowerGirl.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AlexisLee_Self1.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JanaMarieBowen_Self1.jpg
But the crowd erupts as the last two women make their presence known, stepping forward to flank the Sensational One.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MichelleCox.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JaimeQuine_alt1.jpg
Noticing the hesitation apparent in the trio in the ring, a small smile creases the face of Sensational Ogiwara. Glancing quickly to her left and her right, she gives a barely perceptible nod before she and the members of Affliction race down the ramp to the ring. As the brawl breaks out, the women pair off and Lady Caramel finds herself squaring off with the woman often described as the greatest women's wrestler of all time. As Shooter Jaime Quine blocks an attempted spinning backfist from Tayla Martin, she looks to counter with her patented KO Kick before finding her opponent squirting from the ring. Michelle Cox ducks a right hand from Brooke Tyler and counters with a German Suplex that sends her adversary skidding from the ring right onto her father's feet. Lady Caramel, eager to prove herself against the very best, begins throwing bombs at the older woman, hoping to overwhelm her with offense. But Ogiwara is far too seasoned for such simple tactics to work and after blocking some shots, finds an opening and lights her young adversary up with a single stiff knife edge chop that stops her in her tracks. The sound of a firecracker reverberates through the arena as a second chop lands, followed by a third and a fourth before Lady Caramel is able to escape from the ring. Holding her chest, she seeks to escape via the ramp but finds the way blocked by a very familiar face.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/HEARTSaitoh_Self.jpg
Hands up and begging off, Lady Caramel bursts over the barricade and into the crowd. As HEART goes to give chase, she's stopped by a strong, authoritative voice calling her name. As the House of Tradition flees through the crowd in different directions, HEART looks at the woman in the ring currently supporting her longtime friend and tag team partner, and rushes to help her. The crowd reacts as the young women on the stage offer deep bows to the legends in the ring and Michelle and Jaime each raise an arm of Sensational Ogiwara and Thunder Hike.

That was a totally uncalled for and unprovoked attack.
We'll try to get news on Thunder's condition as soon as it's available.
In the meantime, we're joined here on commentary by The Lizard Queen herself, Sakurako Kagawa. Kagawa-san, you know these two legends very well. Your reaction to this heinous attack?
I believe those young girls made a grave mistake. Thunder and Ogiwara are very prideful and, even in retirement, should not be toyed with.
I understand Remi is standing by backstage with one of the participants of our next match.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Remianen.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GabrielaOrtega_alt.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Melody_Trell.jpg
Melody, you're set to face someone you're very familiar with in Emma Bitch. How will this match differ from the others you two have had?
I don't think it will. Whenever Emma and I lock up one on one, it's always a war. It's kill or be killed, and neither of us wants to be dead. Each of us tries to find a way to come out with the win. Tonight, we'll see who wants it more. Our first meeting in a QAW ring probably won't be our last. I'm just looking to start 1-0 against her.

As her theme music starts and the crowd reacts, Melody and Gabriela head down the hall toward the Basilisk position and are soon replaced on the interview set by another pair of women.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ClareSouth.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EmmaBitch_Self1.jpg

So you've heard the comments by Melody...
Ah don't think she realizes...
Realizes what?
This is a new day and this....this is a new Bitch. What happened up there in Canada is the past. This is the present, and this woman right here, is the future.
I must admit, this is definitely a match I'm looking forward to seeing. Back to you at ringside.

I concur. This one should be a fun ride.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Melody_Trell.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/th_GabrielaOrtega_alt.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GabrielaOrtega_alt.jpg)vshttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/EmmaBitch_Self1.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/th_ClareSouth.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/ClareSouth.jpg)
Melody w/Gabriela Ortega vs Emma Bitch w/Clare South

Right from the bell, these two women went right for each other. Their familiarity was apparent as they fell right into their traditional roles. With Emma dominating and Melody expertly playing the babyface-in-peril, the match proceeded in textbook fashion. Each time Melody attempted a comeback, she found the momentum door slammed unceremoniously in her face by a power move. A powerslam got the Bitch a long two. A vicious clothesline scored another near fall. But the tables turned around the 13th minute when the Bitch began to tire. A tilt-a-whirl attempt was countered into a DDT which left both women down. Melody rose to her feet by the count of 8, just a second before Emma, and ran right into a big boot. With her opponent down, Emma signaled to the crowd that it was over. Wearily grabbing Melody, she hoisted her up for the Payback. But wily vet that she is, Melody managed to slip out the back and, in the moment of confusion for the Bitch, got her up and over with the Melody Maker. Referee Isis was in perfect position to count the pinfall.
Winner: Melody
60

Whoa! That was a surprise!
The Bitch is none too pleased at that result.
It was cunning that produced victory. Cunning and superior stamina.

A video plays of a hospital room with a woman laying in bed, her head heavily bandaged. The sleeping form of JMB can be seen in a bedside chair. As the camera slowly pans, someone enters the room with a chart and begins taking notes from the machines assembled around the bed.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NurseHopeDaye-1.jpg
The nurse then smiles at the results and takes a blanket from beneath the bed and drapes it over JMB before leaving the room. As the door closes slowly, the camera pans around and begins to zoom in on the figure lying in the bed. As the figure's head fills the shot, almond shaped eyes pop open and the startled look that initially clouded them, turns to sheer, unbridled anger as they stare directly into the camera.

Eerie.
If that is Baby Blue, I believe she has every right to be angry.
No doubt about it. But we're hoping she comes out of this okay, with no lasting effects.
Whoa, quite the matchup. I'm being told the newly named team of Blood & Gold, consisting of Vixxen and Geena the Warrior Princess is set to face Affliction. And that match, is next!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GeenaPrincess_FIN.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Vixxen.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/th_SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpg)vshttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MichelleCox.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JaimeQuine_alt1.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/th_Persephonealt2.jpg (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Persephonealt2.jpg)
Blood & Gold w/Sienna DeVille vs Affliction w/Persephone

A surprisingly fast paced match that really saw Geena shine and show her versatility. More than the stiff shots described in admiring terms by the Lizard Queen, she stood her ground and went toe to toe with both members of Affliction, with Vixxen making the necessary saves when she got into trouble. In the end, it was during one of these saves that the match turned. As Sienna distracted the ref, Vixxen ran in to deliver the Going Down Below to Michelle. But the young vet managed to turn just so, lining the would be vampire up for a clean KO Kick from her partner. As Vixxen rolled from the ring, much to the chagrin of the screeching Sienna DeVille, the team of Shooter Jaime and Michelle chose this moment to debut a new finisher, the Sickness Driver (tandem brainbuster suplex).
Winners: Affliction
80

That was some match.
That's some sick looking finisher!
I enjoyed the intensity of the match. You could tell that both teams wanted badly to win.
I'm being told our main event for tonight will be a clash between the Bomb Squad and TR1BE as Nina the....uh, sanity impaired, ballerina, takes on the Latina Sensation herself, Joanne Rodriguez!
I don't think Nina can win this one. J.Ro is so focused right now, I don't see how anyone could beat her.

The cameras cut backstage to a locker room where one woman is raging.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/NinaTheBallerina.jpg
"What the hell does she mean? I can beat J.Ro, no matter how 'focused' she is."
As she paces and kicks around a wastebasket, three other women look on, glancing at each other every so often.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/CherryBomb_jtlant3.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Willow_Clarity.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/OliviaDiamond_alt1.jpg
As Nina grabs a coatrack with evil intent, Willow stops her. "Nina, wait, stop. Look, you don't have to beat her." As a look of utter confusion clouds Nina's face, Willow continues. "Here's the deal. What do you think would happen if J.Ro wasn't physically able to compete at Beaches? Let me tell you what would happen. Our esteemed general manager and board member would need to scramble to find a big name to replace her in the match...."
Catching on to her manager's line of thinking, Olivia pipes up, "And there is no bigger name than...."
Smirking on cue, the fourth woman simply says, "The Bomb."
"But why don't I have to beat her?", Nina asks, clueless.
"You don't have to beat her. You just have to beat her up. Real bad," the Bomb replies.
"So beat her up but don't beat her?"
"You can beat her if you want. Just make sure she doesn't make it to Beaches."
"I can do that!" Nina says, obviously chuffed.

Nina the Psycho Ballerina vs Joanne Rodriguez w/Mercedes Gimenez

After an entrance that had the fans on their feet, J.Ro enters the ring....to a complete and utter dismantling ambush. Nina was a whirling dervish, never giving J.Ro a chance to recover or catch her breath. Running roughshod over J.Ro, Nina found herself on the wrong side of the ref when she went to ringside and grabbed a chair. Snapping it shut, she tried to enter the ring with it only to have referee Isis stop her, much to the crowd's delight. Pacing outside the ring in frustration, apparently arguing with herself, proved to be her undoing. Getting her wits about her, the Latina Sensation showed why she is still one of the best flyers in the world, hitting Nina with a corkscrew moonsault plancha on the outside, bringing the crowd to its feet. With the two women gingerly rising to their feet, they both slide into the ring and, using the ropes, rise to their feet and commence trading European uppercuts. As Nina reels from one, J.Ro hits the ropes and hits a series of clotheslines before busting out into a salsa dance, signaling the end is near. As Nina slowly rose to her feet, the kick to the gut brought on the double underhook which a flip completed into the J-Rocker and the pinfall.
Winner: Joanne Rodriguez

Overall: 87

A meeting breaks with one man saying to the departing group, "This must go down perfectly. There can be no mistakes, are we clear?". His question is answered with murmurs and nods as the men and women talking among themselves as they departed.

"Must be nice, having exclusive use of the arena. Let's you plan out crazy stunts like this."

As Remianen smirked while he turned toward the familiar voice, a thought hit him.

"Shouldn't you be in Japan? You have a tour starting soon, don't you?"

Bad news for the Remianen, yes? A Lizard Queen with free time is a dangerous thing indeed.

Ginko Kuroda & Jeri Behr vs The Commonwealth
Ginko is an all time favorite, though I never did her justice. No cool name. No victory I think.

Another great wrestler gets the short end of sticks and things.

No contest really.

Geena always lets me down.

Emma can do good things in the right hands.

Always happy to see your show arrive. :)

Stacy Simmons Sakurako Kagawa Rebecca Richey

Good evening QAW fans and welcome to LIVEWIRE. I'm Stacy Simmons alongside the Lizard Queen Sakurako Kagawa and Rebecca Richey and Becs, the matchups tonight seem a bit...off, wouldn't you say?

I don't understand? We have several of the best and brightest young stars in QAW....

I think she means, there is a noticeable lack of “star power”. At least compared to last week's show. But it is about time that the girls you call the best and brightest young stars in QAW, live up to their billing. It's time they produce and prove themselves such.

Kagawa-san is wise.

So I've heard.

There are still slots available for Beaches. Perhaps this is time someone reached up and grabbed one?


Ginko Kuroda & Jeri Behr vs The Commonwealth w/Ceri
Fast paced match full of notable spots. The end came after Ginko locked in her Wyrm Clutch without noticing her partner had blind tagged herself in. Staring at referee Isis in confusion as she began her five count, she was left totally unawares when Jeri hit a cartwheel handspring senton that put all three women down. Showing excellent mat awareness, the addled Lexi draped her arm over both opponents and scored the pinfall.
Winners: The Commonwealth
49/D+
*

Obviously not happy at the loss, Ginko confronted her erstwhile partner and a bit of a disagreement was had. Before long, it degenerated into a full-on brawl that ended with Jeri in the Wyrm Clutch, screaming at the top of her lungs, before security hit the ring to break things up.

*

Kuniko Matsura vs Lady Caramel w/Jasmine Perlot
Unable to keep up with Kuniko, Lady Caramel took the obvious path of grounding the young flyer. But she took plenty of punishment before she managed to corral her opponent. Even when she seemed to, Kuniko slipped out or reversed several basic rest holds and really took the fight to her more known foe. Just as Caramel begins to build some momentum, dropping Kuniko with a snap suplex, the arena erupts as With a Spirit begins to play. Lady Caramel turns to the ramp and beckons her Beaches opponent to come out and never notices Kuniko struggle to the top rope. After it becomes apparent HEART isn't coming out, Caramel turns right into the heart of a Firestorm. The pinfall, like school, is academic.
Winner: Kuniko Matsura
29/E+

Peekaboo
After the match, as Jasmine enters the ring, the crowd erupts once more as this time, the QAW Generation XX champion makes an appearance, smiling and waving at her #1 contender as Lady Caramel and Jasmine seethe in the ring.

"We can't get into either unless we make an impact"
Turning to her partner as they walk down the hall, Gina Heaton smirks and asks, "Yeah and how're we supposed to do that?"
Heather B, ever the thinker, comes up with, "We need a beef. A high profile beef."
"True true. We need to just go buckwild on some bitches. Make heads take notice. I'm feelin' you there."
"We just need to figure out who to jump on." Gina, feeling her statement profound, begins to think of some possibilities. As the trio approach a pair of conservatively dressed, tall young girls, Heather is the first to speak.
"What you doin' back here?"
"Us? Oh, we're hoping to get some autographs", the long haired one says.
"Finally, some people who recognize the real. Here, you can be the first to get the autographs of Recipe for Success and Heather B", Keisha says, reaching for the girl's book.
"Um, sorry. We were hoping to catch a member of TR1BE."
The tension moved in like a flash thunderstorm as Keisha, Gina, and Heather slowly looked at each other....before attacking the two girls. As they completely decimated the young fans, they put an exclamation point on things by delivering Cooking with Gas (Total Elimination) on both girls in turn.
"You bitches should've been warned. Backstage at a wrestling show isn't always the safest place for fans."
Laughing at their own joke, the three women walk off as officials swarm the scene, calling for paramedics.
*

Sakura Sada vs Littlefeather w/Katie Cameron
Sakura's still a little too spot-driven and it cost her dearly in this match. Trying for a third hurricanrana, she found it blocked then twisted into the Feather Fall.
Winner: Littlefeather
29/E+
*

Martina Baker w/Monique & Megumi Nakajima vs Brooke Dunn w/Aurora
Showing marked improvement, young Martina worked a strong match against her more seasoned opponent. Frustrating Brooke on several occasions, she managed to put together several extended series of offense, keeping her opponent off balance. But a grave mistake cost her the match as she telegraphed a backdrop and Brooke took the opportunity to introduce Martina to the Well Dunn.
Winner: Brooke Dunn
40/D-

Pretty Noose (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8nkHrv_4Mg) starts up as some people in the crowd recognize the woman who walks out as Nadia Snow. She walks to the ring and grabs a mic from a ringside attendant and says, "I'm getting a bit tired of standing back there waiting for my shot to show all of you just how good I am. So tonight, I'm sending a message to all those girls in the back. I'm looking to make a name for myself and I came here to fight. So if there's anyone back there who thinks they're good enough, come on down and let's do this!"

A minute passes as Nadia paces the ring and just as she raises the mic to say something, Prince starts up and the crowd signals their recognition as "Double A" Amber Allen walks out with BJ O'Neill, with a smirk on her face and a mic in her hand. "Seems like someone's gotta teach you how we do things here in the Q. We don't operate like some dyed in the wool, ol skool, stick in the mud companies you might be familiar with. I've heard about you. Apparently, you're pretty good. Good enough to score a tryout deal. So yeah, let's see what you got."
*

Nadia Snow vs Amber Allen w/BJ O'Neill
A match that started quickly as Nadia slapped the taste out of Amber's mouth before following with a kick to the gut, allowing her to take control. However, she was unable to seal the deal and a running shoulderblock found her on the receiving end of the Double A Spinebuster, setting the stage for Amber to debut her new variation of the Amber Wave (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-gIa4woSSk).
Winner: Amber Allen
56/C-

Recipe for Disaster
Yuko Okui interviews a rather agitated Bethany Hurst, who states that her cousins were assaulted while backstage. She says that she's going to find out who did it and when she does, Justice will be served.
*

Emma Bitch w/Clare South vs Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta
These two got it on, with the fervor that can only come from familiarity. This time, however, it seems JMB had picked up some tricks from her opponent last week, the QAW World champion, as she found explosive counters for many of the Bitch's favored maneuvers. In the end, she even found a way to counter the Payback by wriggling free and with a spin and a punch to the gut, the Bowen Technique sealed the deal.
Winner: Jana Marie Bowen
48/D+
*
Pardon the interruption...
Marchin' On starts up and the crowd reacts to the entrance of Docent and Outrider, Call of Duty. As Rachel Dearheart leads them to the ring, the two women slide into the ring and hit the turnbuckles, exhorting the crowd. Just as they hit the last turnbuckle, I'm Only Happy When It Rains begins and the Board member Abigail Romanov comes out, mic in hand.

"I apologize, but there's been a change in our main event..."

The crowd voices their displeasure, booing lustily.

"Due to an...injury to Geena the Warrior Princess, and her chosen partner, a new team will need to be substituted in this match."

"This can't be good."
"Is Rosie in town or something?"

As the boos reach a crescendo, Abigail then offers, "Good luck, ladies." before backing out.

After a minute of the crowd (and the trio of women in the ring) indicating their confusion, the lights go out as Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me begins and the crowd's utter astonishment is reflected in their reaction. For the next three women to walk out onto the stage are none other than Sienna DeVille, Vixxen, and the QAW World champion, Saving Grace. As the eerie lighting and fog send shadows dancing around the entranceway, the world champion's face reacts to the crowd with a devious smirk. As Outrider tries to calm her agitated partner, Rachel stands transfixed in the center of the ring, watching as the Coven make their way down the ramp.

This is a great opportunity for young Docent and Outrider. Beat the champion and you instantly become a contender for the world title.

I don't think Call of Duty see it that way, but okay.
*

Call of Duty w/Rachel Dearheart vs The Coven w/Sienna DeVille
While the final result of the match was as everyone expected, what wasn't expected was just how well Docent & Outrider hung with Vixxen and the champion. The match flowed between regional styles seemingly effortlessly. From very British mat wrestling to deep Japanese arm drags and dropkick based offense to even a lucha spot as Vixxen nailed an airborne Docent with a springboard dropkick, the action flowed fast and furious. To her credit, the champion bumped mightily for her younger, less seasoned opponents, taking their best shots but still coming back for more. After the champion laid Outrider out with a cheap shot enzuigiri on the apron, she stood impassively over Docent.
"Uh oh. You know what that look means."
As Vixxen entered the ring and approached, the champion exploded into motion and, in tandem with Vixxen, the Gift of Prophecy connected. Directing Vixxen back to the corner, she tagged her in for the pinfall.
Winners: The Coven
84/B+

Hello QAW fans and welcome to MY little slice of the 'series of tubes that's not a big truck'. We're a little over a week away from Beaches and crikey, that show is going to be HUGE. More will be revealed during Showcase.

And speaking of Showcase, Monét at the QAW salon hooked your girl up so I'll have a new look the next time you see me, live and direct. And our show will be plenty live and direct to you with some explosive matchups.

Rumor has it that Bethany Hurst checked the tape of our last LiveWire show and saw that it was Recipe for Success who attacked her cousins. Following that revelation, she appealed to QAW General Manager Cheyenne for a match at Beaches between her superhero team, the aptly named Super Powers against the treacherous hoodrat duo. That match has been tentatively scheduled, subject to board member approval but on Showcase, the two teams meet in singles action as Gina Heaton clashes with Amazing Lass and Keisha Murrell takes on Power Girl! Accustomed to having their partners to lean on, how will these young competitors deal with flying solo?

The QAW Generation XX champion will be in action, as one half of Native HEART, with her partner Littlefeather, as they take on the PYTs.

Apparently, the QAW world champion has her eye on several members of the roster as she has requested a match specifically for the TR1BE's Melody. Who is this opponent and what does this mean for the TR1BE?

In a pick your opponent's opponent match, the QAW Shockwave champion has chosen Golden Delicious for her Beaches challenger while JMB has stacked the deck against the champion by pitting her against.....Michelle Cox!

In a match bound to be hard hitting to the extreme, Nina, our "emotionally challenged" ballerina, will face off with Affliction's own, Shooter Jaime Quine.

You know that all saying about the duck? Well, our main event looks like a setup, it feels like a setup, and it smells like a setup so it must be. But Blood & Gold are slated to go head to head with The Dream Team of Joanne Rodriguez and Suzanne Brazzle. I'm sure the QAW World champion will be watching this match intently. I'm also sure that she's given her Coven underlings orders of some kind. This match gives me the heeby jeebies.

This and plenty more on the next Showcase!

Stacy Simmons Melanie Florence Thunder Hike

Hello everyone and welcome to Showcase! We're just six days away from Beaches and boy, do we have a show here for you tonight. As always I'm joined by the freshly coiffed Melanie Florence and we're rejoined by the legendary Thunder Hike.
Thunder, are you okay? That was a pretty hellacious beating you took.
Perhaps by American standards. I am fine. Though I will admit I was tempted to teach those two little girls a lesson, I am retired and I plan to stay that way.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/AbiRomanov_dse81.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Cheyenne.jpg
The camera cuts backstage to the office of the Board representative who is sitting casually at the end of her desk speaking to General Manager Cheyenne.

There is a lot riding on this show. A lot of money too, some of it my own. It's going to be seen all over the world. I do not want it to be an embarrassment. Some of these matches you've set up, I don't know what you were thinking. Is anyone going to pay to see these people fight?
I believe...
I don't care what you believe. I just have one thing to tell you. If this show does not break records and go on without a hitch.....you're fired. Are we clear?
Crystal.
Good, now get outta here. Ugh!

That doesn't sound good for our General Manager.
I do not know what this Abigail person expects.

PYTs vs Native Heart w/Katie Cameron & Cheerleader Nicki

As quite a surprise, the Generation XX champion comes out with her very own one person Spirit Squad. The surprises don't end there as Jeri & Sakura successfully isolate the champion in their corner, laying the boots to her and using quick tags to keep her off balance. One cool sequence saw Sakura lay into the cornered champion with knife edge chops and then tag her partner in. Jeri entered and after taunting the crowd with a belt motion, turned to find herself now cornered and the recipient of knife edge chops. Of course, the typical heel tactics were on display as well, including hair pulling behind the ref's back and choking on the middle rope. The match's momentum shifted permanently when Jeri went for her signature cartwheel handspring back elbow and connected....with her partner. Aghast, she didn't take notice of the champion inching her way to her corner for the tag. When Littlefeather got the tag, she lit into Jeri with her own signature tomahawk chops to the top and sides of the head. An irish whip and back body drop later and she went into her tribal dance, signaling for the Feather Fall. It connects and the pinfall is academic.
Winners: Native Heart

Gina Heaton w/Heather B vs Amazing Lass w/Bethany Hurst
The match started as expected, with Gina attacking the Lass before she could get her cape off. Tangling the would-be superhero in the cape, Gina proceeded to get her licks in before referee Isis could get the two women separated. From there, it was all downhill as the two women showed just how green they are, despite their immeasurable potential. The match was brought to a merciful end after Amazing Lass hit a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker on Gina and struck her hero pose, signaling for the end. That end followed shortly afterward as an irish whip led directly into the Lass-O, flipping Gina a complete 180 degrees in the air.
Winner: Amazing Lass

Replay starts up, bringing the eponymous Melody out with Gabriela Ortega. As they get into the ring to await her opponent, the crowd perks up as the somber strains of Savior begin and the lights dim accordingly.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SiennaDeVille_Fin2.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GraceHarper_jhd2.jpg
As the QAW World champion emerges with Sienna DeVille, the crowd's collective breath catches in anticipation. That is, until Sienna produces a microphone and says, “Melody, you're about to have a very bad day. Why? Because your opponent.....is right behind you.”
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/LFC%20Diary/Gorgon.jpg
As a massive woman grabs Melody's hair and delivers a headbutt to the back of her head, with emphasis, Sienna adds, “Gorgon, be gentle with her.” Pausing for effect, Saving Grace gives her an odd look that she catches before smirking, “On second thought, don't. Enjoy yourself!”

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/LFC%20Diary/Gorgon.jpgvshttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/Melody_Trell.jpgw/http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/GabrielaOrtega_alt.jpg
Gorgon vs Melody w/Gabriela Ortega

Continuing the beating, at the behest of the world champion, the bell ringing just added fuel to the fire. Tossing Melody in the corner, she battered the babyface with body shots. But, playing the plucky underdog role to the hilt, Melody never quit and reversed the monster into the corner and began working her left knee with sharp kicks. This occasional back and forth continued until Melody reversed a powerbomb attempt into a facebreaker (“What's the chances Edd Stone taught her that?”) but her brief respite stalled, due to the Hydra Bomb (Choke Bomb). But rather than cover her opponent, Gorgon just continued the vicious beating. Finally, after several warnings, referee Isis called for the bell, indicating a DQ.
Winner: Melody (by DQ)

As Gorgon leaves the ring, two young women burst from the crowd and stand over the fallen form of Melody.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/BrookeTyler.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/TaylaMartin.jpg
"B, she don't look too hot."
"Too bad."
"Jeez, show some compassion for once!"
At that, Tayla helps Melody to her feet before throwing a glance at Brooke as the two women snap into motion and within an eyeblink, drop Melody with the Weight of Tradition.
"You want a match? You got it. See you on Sunday, precious. I hope whoever your partner is is up to the task. And once we're done with you...."
Tayla and Brooke in unison turn to the announce table, looking squarely at Thunder Hike.
"We're coming for you and your friend, *finger quotes* Thunder."

It doesn't look like the two little girls are giving up.
They should. And if they are wise, they will.
But wisdom is rarely wasted on the young.
Sadly, this is true.
So Mel, who is responsible for your new look?
Oh! Monét! Well, his name's actually J. J Silver on the QAW forums. But we call him Monét because he's that damn good an artist.
Better than da Vinci?
For the QAW fans who might not be up on the lingo, we codename our stylists because they're true artists. Different disciplines and styles, Stace. I wouldn't say any one is really better than any of the others. They each have their own style and it works. And da Vinci is John Henry Denton Sr. You can flood his PM box on our forums using his handle jhd1.
I should probably visit one of them myself.
You said it, I didn't!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/JoanneRodriguez_Clarity.jpg
A video plays of a sitdown interview with Joanne Rodriguez. She talks about her mindset heading into her match for the QAW World title.
"I've been in this business a long time. I've put my heart and soul into being the best, even going to Japan to learn from the best."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SakurakoKagawa.jpg
"Victoria Stone showed me some tapes of this young girl from another promotion she worked for. She was obviously stunning, but more than that, she paid attention to every call her opponent made and executed it flawlessly. Well, most of the time. More than that, she had that look in her eyes that only the true joshi can lay claim to. Under the circumstances, I had little choice but to bring her in. "
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/SensationalOgiwara.jpg
"Her first match with 5-Star was against me. Before the show, she spent so much time in the bathroom throwing up that by bell time, she was a wreck. Completely dehydrated. But she still answered the bell, and though her nervousness was obvious, she still performed much better than anyone expected, given her looks."

"How do you handle that? Your first match in Japan was against the woman who, even then, was considered at minimum the greatest of her generation?"
"I think you heard how I handled it. I threw up everything I had eaten in the last week. But I still went out there and I still gave it my best. And you know, before that match, when I was all but spent, it was Sensational Ogiwara who sat down with me and told me to trust myself. Ever since then, I've always tried to help the new girls whenever I could."
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/MegumiNakajima.jpg
"My first opponent after graduation? Joanne Rodriguez. The Lizard Queen believes in throwing the dojo girls to the wolves, to see if they wilt like delicate flowers. Some do, but fortunately we have people like Joanne and the Sensational One, who help us whenever they can."

"Never in my wildest dreams could I have seen myself in this position. When I'm on the street, people know my name and it seems like our fans are everywhere. I get little girls who come up to me and tell me they want to grow up to be just like me. That's a powerful statement for a child to make and one I don't take lightly."

"Any words for the champion?"
"Oh yes. Grace, you and I go way back. I've beaten you and you've beaten me. But not this time. This time, the first time we go one on one in a QAW ring, the first time I have an opportunity to win the biggest title in women's wrestling, the first time we get to do it on pay per view seen the world over.....this time, the J-Rocker will signify a changing of the guard. Your reign of terror and darkness will end, on Sunday."

That's the Joanne I know...

Golden Delicious w/Autumn Gleeson vs Jana Marie Bowen w/Julie Forletta

JMB, trying to make the most of her recent push, took the fight right to the Aussie Assassin in the early going. After a while, it became obvious she was getting to her opponent, which isn't really a good thing. After evading a springboard crossbody attempt, Golden Delicious went on the offensive in a big way. An enzuigiri, basement dropkick, standing senton got her a 2-count but while she wildly gesticulated, JMB took advantage, lining up Golden Delicious for a swinging neckbreaker. But as she signaled for the possible ending, as she moved in to grab her fallen opponent for the Bowen Technique, the Assassin struck as the Melbourne Surprise was fittingly named as it dropped the young hopeful for the 1,2,3.
Winner: Golden Delicious

A video package airs, hyping the QAW Twinstar title match between the Natural Blondes (with Blonde Bombshell) against reigning champions, the Canadiennes (with Marianne).

"I've been around some really hard workers. When I worked in L.A, I was surrounded by them. People who lived and bled for this business, none moreso than the man in charge. But these girls? These girls would fit right in there. Not many people expect them to win on Sunday, and that's okay. Those Canadian chicks are REALLY good. It's almost like they came from the same womb. ALMOST. My team, did. They've been fighting together their entire lives. They communicate on an instinctual level and that very well might make the difference."

"First, we defeat the American military and now we must beat the redneck sisters? Blondes, you have endured much in your lives. Living in trailers, eating cat food from cans, somehow managing to drink lots of beer. You have apparently worked very hard to get to this point, so for that we commend you. However, you will get no further. On Sunday, you have a chance to win these titles, OUR titles. But, like your countrymen have done, you will find a way to FAIL, probably due to your American greed. These pieces of, how do you say, "bling", will leave Miami on the same waists they came in on."

Strong words from the champions.
I must agree with the Bombshell. Those two are scary good to be so young.

Olivia Diamond w/Willow vs Michelle Cox w/Persephone

Relatively simple match as Michelle led Olivia through a basic back & forth progression, finally building to the end sequence. After a snap suplex, Olivia begins playing to the crowd, holding up the diamond hand sign, signaling for the end. As she turned around, she found her opponent on her feet and waiting for her. Trying a boot to the gut, Michelle caught the leg, tossed it outward, and used the momentum to get the Crossface locked in tight. In seconds, Olivia tapped out.
Winner: Michelle Cox

Nina the Psycho Ballerina vs Shooter Jaime Quine w/Persephone

Talk about hard hitting action! The stiff shots and kicks in this match had the fans cringing on several occasions. As Nina centered her offense around suplexes, Jaime treated the match like a shoot fight, fully utilizing her prodigious kickboxing skills. In the end, heels will be heels and as Jaime lined up her opponent for the finish, she noticed someone at ringside, arguing with Persephone.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/Kension/Misc/QAW%20Forever/OliviaDiamond_alt1.jpg
As she turned to protect her manager, her hair was grabbed from behind and, after a series of headbutts to the back of her head, she was spun, lifted and unceremoniously dropped by the Nina Hammer.
Winner: Nina the Psycho Ballerina

One Tribe (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5C6c5S0ft0) starts up and the crowd jumps to their feet as the arena lights begin to dance and the QueenScreen fills with images of the members of TR1BE:
- HEART Saitoh on her knees in the ring crying and clutching the QAW Generation XX title
- Littlefeather hitting the Feather Fall
- Hannah giving a coy look to the camera
- JMB flying
- Mercedes Gimenez dancing on the ramp
- Chloe Dean squirting Brooke Dunn in the face with her sunflower plushie
- and Kinuye Mushashibo executing the Blue Dream

As Joanne and Suzanne come out, with Mercedes Gimenez and Hannah, the crowd pops as the four women each put a hand to their ear. As they walk down the ramp and enter the ring, the crowd reaction continues....until the lights dim and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me starts. Just like that, thunderous cheers turn into lusty boos as Vixxen and Geena walk out with Sienna DeVille. Sparing no time, they make their way down to the ring to begin the festivities.

The Dream Team w/Mercedes & Hannah vs Blood & Gold w/Sienna DeVille

Quite the match leading into Beaches, as it became apparent that the Coven duo had no intention of winning the match. All they were focused on was weakening J.Ro. Quickly catching wind of their plan, Brazzle kept J.Ro on the apron for much of the match, to her peril. Protecting her friend was paramount but led to friction between the women as J.Ro emphatically blind tagged herself in on two occasions. The finish came about as Geena lined a battered Brazzle up for the Strike and as she delivered it, Brazzle's outstretched arm made contact with J.Ro's hand in full view of the ref. As Geena knelt to make the cover, referee Isis waved her off and as she rose and turned, she found a rather irate Latina Sensation wagging her finger no. As Geena charged, J.Ro ducked her clothesline, split to avoid the interfering Vixxen and rose up in surreal fashion to deliver and back leg lariat to the would-be vampire. As Geena rushed in again, she got a boot to the gut and the J-Rocker (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkxo_Bz9sHI) for her trouble. The pinfall was academic.
Winners: The Dream Team
83

After the match, Suzanne Brazzle calls for a mic.
"That match, whew, that match is what QAW is about. What QAW is not about is insulting any of the legends we have onboard. Brooke, Tayla, Caramel, I know Joanne has a title to win on Sunday and I'll have my hands full with the Aussie Assassin, but let me promise you this. And I believe I speak for many of the girls in the back. If you go after Sensational Ogiwara and/or Thunder Hike, you're going after us. Those two have done too much for this business, to further our collective cause, to be injured or maimed by you rookies. As far as the wrestling business goes, you three still have milk on your tongues. Respect is something Ogiwara and Hike have earned. You haven't earned a damn thing. You've taken out one member of the TR1BE already. And on Sunday, you face at least one more member of the TR1BE. Mess around and you might find yourself facing ALL of us."
As Brazzle hands the mic to J.Ro, they fistbump and Joanne simply says, "Get well soon, little sister. We'll be here waiting for you when you return."
At that, One Tribe starts up and the show goes off the air with the co-leaders of TR1BE staring stone faced into the camera.

Overall: 84

So I decided to get back into TEW (still going through my WreSpi2 phase, mind), and I can't seem to find a download source for the database again. Got a hankering to push Elyssa Anderson or Brandy McDonald to a couple of major titles.

As my computer was reformatted between the time we were working on the database itself and now, I've lost my original download of the data and cannot find a replacement to save my life now.

Any chance of getting hold of the database/picture set you're using, sir?

Welcome one and all to The Battleground Podcast. I am Roger "Pepe" Greer and of course I'm joined by Don "Sexy" Black and tonight's podcast is about contenders. Specifically, #1 contenders as we are joined by none other than the #1 contender for the QAW World title, the Latina Sensation, Joanne Rodriguez as well as the #1 contenders for the QAW Twinstar titles, Amber & Saffron Greenway, the Natural Blondes. Welcome ladies.
J.Ro: Thanks for having us.
Amber: Glad to be here.
Don: Guys, you'll wish you were here. These ladies are...oh my god gorgeous.
Roger: Down, killer. Remember, they can also kick your ass. So Amber and Saffron, let's start with you. Like many of the girls in QAW, you two are newcomers to many of our fans. How did you wind up in QAW?
Amber: Well, after we graduated from wrestling school, we started doing small shows around the south, just to get some experience.
Saffron: We got lucky that there was a scout at a couple shows and he approached us.
Amber: We didn't believe him at first. Lot of shady characters in this business. But people seemed to know him and said he was a good guy.
Saffron: Yeah, Remmy is cool.
Roger: Wait, Remmy? Remmy Remus?
Amber: Yup. Well, it was Rod who initially approached us but Remmy gave us his card.
Saffron: Spooked us at first, til we saw them together.
Don: Speaking of spooky, you two look awfully alike.
Roger: Don, they're sisters....
Don: Are you twins too?
Saffron: Amber's older.
Amber: Only by a year, thank you.
Roger: Sorry, what happened after your encounter with the Remuses?
Saffron: Well, they flew us to Houston for tryouts....
Roger: Wait, they flew you in? For a tryout?
Amber: Yeah, put us up in this ritzy hotel too. We were afraid to even touch anything.
Saffron: The tryout was the most nerve-wracking experience I've ever had.
Don: Why's that?
Amber & Saffron: The Magic Three were presiding over them.
J.Ro: Cat was there too.
Saffron: Yeah and Vicki Stone came by once or twice.
Roger: Wow, so you had to try out in front of some of the greatest workers of all time? No wonder you were nervous.
Amber: It worked out though. Most of the girls who tried out got signed except for a few.
Saffron: There were rumors that a few girls failed the drug test or had bad attitudes.
Roger: So now the tough questions. On Sunday, you'll be facing the Canadiennes for the Twinstar titles. Does it bother you that most of the time, you work LiveWire, the B show?
Saffron: Is that a serious question?
Roger: Indeed it is.
Amber: We're cool with it. Look, every week we get to do what hundreds of girls our age and at least that many who have come before us wish they could do. We perform for the fans, all over the world, on TV.
Saffron: And let's not forget, twice a month, we perform for the fans in Hawaii and Puerto Rico. What's not to love?
Amber: We'll get our first ever title shot in front of millions of people around the world. How many people can say that?
Don: Do you like your chances?
Amber: Don, the Canadiennes are one of the best tag teams probably ever. They work extremely well together, almost as if they've been working together their entire lives.
Saffron: But they haven't....
Amber: Our advantage is, we have been working together all our lives. Come Sunday, we're looking to leave South Beach as the new QAW Twinstar champions....

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

I like it. The Blondes come off as humble and just hungry enough. Plus, they put their opponents over huge. They could use some work but it's good for a first go. We'll get to J.Ro's segment later. Apparently, there's someone waiting to see me.

As the creative team gathered their things and filed out, a young woman passed them in the hall, bowing respectfully to a few of them. As I nodded my insurance policy Cheyenne to a seat (better to be safe than sorry), I turned to the young woman and, before I could speak, the woman stared me in the face and took control of the conversation, saying, "I want in."

Noticeably confused, I could only respond with, "But you're already-"

"Long term."

"Ohhh. But, if you don't mind my asking, why the sudden change of heart?"

"You wouldn't understand. Or maybe you would. I've had one match in QAW so far and everyone I know has talked to me about it. Everyone. My parents, my family, my friends, everyone. That has never happened before. It didn't happen when I worked for Sam, it sure didn't happen up in Seattle, never."

"Yeah, I've heard-"

"But then I come here and everyone's so nice. Not catty at all like some places I've worked."

"Well, that's because-"

"And Steph is having a blast in Miami. They tour, you know, so she gets to see the whole country."

Glancing over at a smirking Cheyenne, her bemused expression saying it all, I finally had to say, "STOP!"

With her own confused look, the young woman simply stated, "Well, you asked..."

"Look, you want to be here long term and we want you here long term, so let's just get this done."

As I grabbed one of our standard talent agreements and slid it in front of her, I waited for the barrage of questions.

"Signing bonus?"

"Yeah, use it to take care of personal expenses. Moving, finding a new place, transportation, stuff like that."

"And all this is guaranteed?"

"Yeah, every month, you get paid. No tricks, no double crosses, that's not how we work. Oh and make sure you have a bank account. We don't do paper checks."

Twenty minutes later and the deal was done.

"I've got an idea for you that I'd like to run by you." After explaining the character and the concept I had in mind, she was excited. "When do we start?"

"Soon. Very soon. But you need to see Fred first."

"Who's Fred?"

At this point, Cheyenne popped up and interjected, "Frederic. Our head stylist. If you're going to BE that character, you've gotta look the part...."

Stacy Simmons Sakurako Kagawa Rebecca Richey


"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to LiveWire! I am Stacy Simmons and as usual, I am joined by the lovely Rebecca Richey and joshi luminary, the Lizard Queen, Sakurako Kagawa. In this, the last QAW broadcast before we invade South Florida for QAW Beaches, we have quite the exciting matchups for you."

Stacy is cut off as Cryin' Like A Bitch starts up and Emma Bitch comes to the ring, accompanied by Clare South. They enter the ring and Emma grabs a mic.
“I'm sick of being overlooked here. Ever since I got rid of my dead weight partner, it seems like everyone is ducking me. I've been a champion before and I will be a champion again. I don't care who wins at Beaches, but come Showcase, whoever is the unfortunate soul holding the Shockwave title, will have to face me....and lose it. There is...”

Miss Independent fires up the crowd as Cheyenne comes out with a smirk on her face. As she waves to the crowd, Emma and Clare display their annoyance at the interruption. Finally, Cheyenne raises her mic and says, “Emma, Emma, Emma, always about what YOU want. But what have you done since you put your former partner out? You had a nice five match winning streak going there, until Melody pinned you and then JMB did the same thing....”

As Emma fumes, Cheyenne continues, “But you're right, you probably should've had a shot at the Shockwave title by now. But, we have a little problem. Y'see, there's someone else who deserves a title shot also. So here's what we're gonna do. Tonight, in that very ring, we're going to determine who the #1 contender for the QAW Shockwave title is as Emma Bitch will take on....”

Prince fires up, as BJ O'Neill comes out trailed by....

...Amber Allen!”

Emma is incensed as Amber holds up her arms in a cross, to the delight of the fans.


PYTs vs The Commonwealth w/Ceri
Match with some length featuring some serious high flying action between two of the more promising teams in QAW. The match ends as Jeri lands a leg lariat on Jessie and Sakura follows it with the Sada-nara, earning the hard fought victory.
Winners: PYTs

The Natural Blondes on opportunity
A video package plays, featuring an in-depth interview with the Natural Blondes & the Bombshell. The three women talk about how rare opportunities can be and how each one should be taken full advantage of. Amber mentions the saying that in order to be the best, you have to beat the best and Saffron adds, that's why they're glad they're facing the best team in QAW.

The Canadiennes on being the best
Another video package plays, this time focused on the QAW Twinstar champions. They acknowledge the dearth of tag team wrestling in the industry over the last couple of decades. They also affirm their stance that they are a team, first and foremost, above all else. They state it is that focus that allows them to be the best and is the reason why they will continue to reign as Twinstar champions.

The Icons of Tradition boast
The Icons of Tradition do an interview with Yuko where they say they're confident they'll win their match at Beaches against whoever Melody happens to find who is stupid enough to team with her and face them.

Food for thought
A pretaped interview with Principessa airs as she wonders why Cherry Bomb took such offense to an innocuous comment. BJ O'Neill interjects how that particular saying is used in sports the world over so how the Bomb could take personal umbrage at it being used is nonsensical. But Principessa notes, it doesn't matter since these are the kinds of matches she signed on with QAW for. She promises to give her all on Sunday and hopefully come out with a win.

Kuniko Matsura vs Brooke Dunn w/Aurora
Fast paced match that went back and forth for several minutes, with a few occasions of Kuniko getting to show off her unique offense. After a few minutes of Kuniko dominating the match, keeping Brooke constantly off balance, Aurora pulls Brooke from the ring for a conference. It is then when the match turns as Kuniko attempts a Tope Con Giro only to have her targets scatter,leaving her laid out on the ringside mats. Brooke immediately goes to work, putting the exclamation point on the match with the Well Dunn.
Winner: Brooke Dunn
42

Every Second Counts
A video, narrated by Autumn Gleeson, details how every second of every match against the Aussie Assassin is important. “Just when you think you've got her....” a flurry of clips shows Golden Delicious hitting her finisher. “....SURPRISE!” Golden Delicious, blue singlet and blonde hair soaked dark with sweat, stares directly into the camera and says, in her clipped Australian accent, “Brazzle, you and I, Sunday. Beaches. A far cry from our previous meetings. I'll save a surprise, just for you.”

“That was just....eerie.”
“The Assassin knows how to creep people out.”
“Main Event now...”

Shockwave #1 Contender's Match
Amber Allen w/B.J. O'Neill vs Emma Bitch w/Clare South
The match started off, surprisingly, as a slugfest as Amber stepped into the lion's den and gave Emma a taste of her own medicine. But the Bitch got the better of her more technically minded opponent and trapped her in the corner, where she stomped a mudhole into young Amber. An irish whip followed by a powerslam seemed to signal a new #1 contender but the Bitch stalked her opponent, looking for the Payback and Amber, young but crafty, used every moment of that time to get her bearings. As she gets to her feet, Emma kicks her in the gut and hoists her up....but Amber slips out the back and floors her opponent with a neckbreaker. As both women lay on the mat, referee Isis begins her ten count. At eight, both women are up and charge at each other, with Amber ducking a clothesline and twisting Emma's arms in a rather unique way, corkscrewing her into a pin predicament for a two count. Whipping her opponent to the ropes, Amber falls victim to the experience gap as Emma grabs the opposite ropes and Amber's dropkick attempt crashes and burns. Emma gets a two count, angrily yelling at the ref, before laying right hands to Amber's head. Eschewing another pinfall attempt, Emma grabs her opponent and tosses her into the corner, following with a clothesline. Repeating for good measure, this time she gets a mouthful of boot as Amber begins to come to life anew. Whipping Emma to the ropes, both women get the same idea and lay each other out with a double clothesline. With both women laid out, the match ends there as the bell rings, signaling the draw.
Winner: No one
58

Overall: 34

Note: Too much time spent on angles. I'll take the hit. It's the B show and fluffing the PPV matches was worth it.

Now that TEW2013 has been announced, it's high time I got off my keister and quit making excuses and move this story on to where the new mod starts. So here goes.....

PREVIEW


Things are heating up as we head to South Beach for QAW Beaches! In a show jam packed with rivalry and overflowing with conflict, outstanding issues will be resolved where they should be: inside the squared circle. The matches announced feed the flames of excitement, but let's bring you up to date on how we arrived at this point.

Emma Bitch (w/Clare South) vs Amber Allen (w/BJ O'Neill) - #1 contender for the QAW Shockwave title
Since ridding herself of her tag team partner "The Violence" Viv Jacobs, Emma Bitch has floated around the undercard, never seeming to have a purpose. Watching the young upstarts like Amber Allen be considered for Shockwave title shots, has apparently ignited a fire under the one time NOTBPW Women's champion. In recent weeks, she has declared herself the #1 contender for the QAW Shockwave title. Always seeking marquee matchups for QAW's fans, General Manager Cheyenne set the two against each other, with the winner being declared the next in line for a Shockwave title shot. However, the two women fought fiercely to a time limit draw on LiveWire. General Manager Cheyenne set the rematch for Beaches in a match with no time limit. One woman will emerge the winner and the new #1 contender for the QAW Shockwave title. Will Emma continue her rampage? Will Amber find a way to stop The Bitch in her tracks? We'll find out this Sunday!

Seek & Destroy (w/Krystyna) vs The Crush Gals (w/Monique)
The veteran joshi duo of Huntress Makiko and Ikuko Temko have taken sadistic delight in tormenting young Martina Baker. When the teams have faced each other, they have made it a point to isolate the rookie and use her inexperience against her. While her fellow Crush Gal Megumi Nakajima has always supported her, young Martina felt like the weakest link in their tag team. Disappearing for a time, she returned with a new fire, to the point of very nearly besting a superior opponent in Brooke Dunn. After a brutal assault on Nakajima at the hands of Seek & Destroy during her absence, is Martina's new fire enough to carry her team to victory? With her partner still suffering the effects of the attack (but in true joshi fashion, refusing to miss this match), will the veteran duo prove too great a task to overcome? We will have our answers this Sunday at Beaches!

Littlefeather (w/Katie Cameron) vs Ginko Kuroda (w/Brittini Burke)
As our pre-show viewers have seen, since debuting in the Q two weeks ago, "The Dragon's Daughter" Ginko Kuroda has proven to be quite the technically efficient competitor. However, the newest member of TR1BE is no slouch herself, proving to be far more than her showgirl past would indicate. With an almost palpable charisma and underrated technical skills, Littlefeather has been content to watch and learn from some of the best workers in the business. Now comes her first real test, as she goes one-on-one with another rising star.

Lady Caramel (w/Jasmine Perlot) vs HEART Saitoh(c) (w/Cheerleader Nicki) - for the QAW Generation XX title
The first ever QAW Generation XX champion, Lady Caramel, felt defeat for the first time in her QAW career when she faced off with the debuting HEART Saitoh. As a protege of the iconic Sensational Ogiwara, the expectations were sky high for young HEART. But winning a title in her first match surprised even the experts. Since then, she has gone on to be considered the HEART of the TR1BE and has formed a promising tag team with Littlefeather. Lady Caramel, after aligning herself with the House of Tradition, has seen some compelling action with her stablemates....but has always been haunted by the match in which she lost "her" title. Now, the newest student of tradition returns to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers: the QAW Generation XX title. But can she overcome the pure energy of the beating HEART of the TR1BE? We will see on Sunday!

Melody (w/Gabriela Ortega) & a partner of her choosing vs The Icons of Tradition (w/Eric Tyler)
After the brutal assault by the House of Tradition and Olivia Diamond that put Kinuye Mushashibo out of action, the TR1BE swore to even the score. With everyone else occupied with matches, that left Melody to be the judge and jury. Who her partner will be has been a mystery that Melody has not been willing to dispel. Though rumors are persistent that she will call in a favor from a friend in Canada, the uncertainty is obvious. The Icons, by contrast, have been the very picture of confidence. Who will Melody choose to join her in battle? Will that person have what it takes to stop the surging Icons? Beaches will tell all!

The Super Powers (w/Bethany Hurst) vs Recipe for Success (w/Heather B)
After an assault on a pair of young fans turned out to be relatives of the erstwhile superhero pair, they promised to bring Gina & Keisha, Recipe for Success, to justice. Now, I'm no genius, but I question the wisdom of angering a pair of women who can apparently fly and bring such varied skillsets to their ring work. However, Keisha has promised to "put down and unmask the posers fakin' the funk as superchicks". Sunday at Beaches, we will have questions answered no matter who comes out on top.

Jana Marie Bowen (w/Julie Forletta) vs Olivia Diamond(c) (w/Willow) - for the QAW Shockwave title
When her best friend was brutalized by an unprovoked attack at the hands of the House of Tradition and the QAW Shockwave champion Olivia Diamond, JMB promised to make the mistress of the Diamond Cutter pay for her actions. The best way to accomplish that, according to JMB, was to take the most precious thing Olivia has: her title.

The Natural Blondes (w/Blonde Bombshell) vs The Canadiennes(c) (w/Marianne) - for the QAW Twinstar titles
This match seems destined to prove why the very best tag team action in the world, can be found in QAW. Amber & Saffron, the Natural Blondes, have worked together their entire lives. Canadian Angel and Quebecoise have worked together since they were children. Both teams have shown impeccable teamwork and that teamwork will be tested in this match. The team that works best together could very well walk out of Beaches as the QAW Twinstar champions!

Principessa (w/BJ O'Neill) vs Cherry Bomb (w/Willow)
This match is a perfect example of the old saying "Be careful what you say." Especially in QAW. And doubly so when talking about The Bomb. Volatile, to put it mildly, the Bomb Squad leader took umbrage at a flippant comment made by Principessa and challenged her to this match. Undeterred, the well traveled Principessa has accepted the challenge and promised to leave it all in the ring come Sunday. In this clash of brute force versus varied skills and will, is Principessa the David required to fell this Goliath? We'll find out...at Beaches!

Golden Delicious (w/Autumn) vs Suzanne Brazzle (w/Hannah)
Our first confrontation years in the making sees the Aussie Assassin seeking to avenge being overlooked in years past for people like Suzanne Brazzle. Having proven herself one of the most dangerous competitors in the business, the Assassin seeks to beat all her former opponents to prove her point. But Suzanne Brazzle is no tomato can and besting her will be no easy feat. At Beaches, in front of the world, the winner of this match makes a compelling case for a shot at the QAW World title.

Joanne Rodriguez (w/Mercedes Gimenez) vs Saving Grace(c) (w/Sienna DeVille) - for the QAW World title
Our main event figures to be something special. The Latina Sensation, riding a massive wave of momentum, faces off against the erstwhile messiah of wrestling, Saving Grace. The prize? Only the most valued title in women's wrestling, the QAW World title. Will the champion manage to "save" her own reign or will the irrepressible J.Ro find a way to wrest the title from her cold grasp? In this clash of the QAW titans, the only guaranteed winners....are those who don't miss this match!
