“MAW Weekly Showdown”
Wednesday, Week 2, January 2008
LIVE from Stanley Hall in front of 105 people.
Rip Chord: “Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome once again to Mid Atlantic Wrestling! First of all, next week’s show will be on Tuesday as one of Sam Strong’s boys is coming over and he can’t miss USPW’s tv taping on Wednesday. So, anyway… what a night is tonight going to be! Some old friends of mine will be in the RCI matches this very night. First of all our very own pretty boy Oscar Golden will take on none other than the five time! Five time! Five time TCW Cruiserweight Champion, Fumihiro Ota! I haven’t seen him in the building yet, but he’s probably being all sneaky and stuff running on the roof or something like that, as that’s what ninjas do. Then in the main event, one of your local heroes, The Masked Patriot will take on a man who has held no less than 4 DAVE titles, Vin Tanner!”

Ernest Forthdyke-Hume comes out followed by his client, Findlay O’Farraday.
Ernest: “So, Chord… Me and my boy were looking at that tournament schedule hanging on the wall backstage. We noticed that my boy Findlay here wasn’t on it. Is that an error or something?”
Rip: “Nope.”
Ernest: “Well then, you better put him on that tournament or there will be consequences! Isn’t that right Findlay?”
Findlay grins.
Rip: “Haha, you dare to threaten the great Rip Chord? I’ll walk away now before I lose my self-control and start hurting you.”

vs
Findlay O’Farraday vs. Riley McManus
Pretty much a squash match to help O’Farraday’s threats look legit. McManus is one of the two lower card good guys I have so he has the privilege of being my #1 face jobber. That means he’ll get more experience in the ring and thus the chance that one day he’ll receive a push becomes bigger. Findlay wins after slamming McManus on the mat from great height.
Winner: Findley O’Farraday
Rating: E-

vs
Antonio vs. Curtis Jenkins
A heel versus heel match, I’m going to have to do a lot of these in the future unless I turn some guys or bring new people in. I think Curtis is more of a tweener than a heel though because he hasn’t really fleshed out a character yet. This was more or less a tune up match for Antonio as next week he’s in one of the tournament matches. He wins with the Italian DDT. Awful chemistry right here though.
Winner: Antonio
Rating: E-
Oscar Golden is in the ring for his match with Ota. His opponent seems to be not showing up. Just as Jay Fair is was about to announce that Golden automatically wins the lights go out and you hear the sound of thunder. The lights flash on and off as Ota jumps from behind the curtain, much to the joy of the crowd in attendance!

vs
RCI Tournament Match:
Oscar Golden vs. Fumihiro Ota
Good match, I was afraid that Golden wouldn’t be able to keep up, but he kind of did. Ota carried the match though. He’s really good at that. Ota wins with after hitting the Ninja Strike somewhere around the 10 minute mark.
Winner: Fumihiro Ota
Rating: D-

vs
RCI Tournament Match:
The Masked Patriot vs. Vin Tanner
I was hoping for a better match. Tanner really costs way too much for what he’s worth. It’s not like Patriot is a potato bag that has to be carried throughout the match or anything, so he can’t blame it on that. Patriot was on the winning hand here until O’Farraday decided to run in while Tanner was distracting the referee. After which Tanner hit a V For Victory and pinned the guy.
Winner: Vin Tanner
Rating: D-
After the match Vin Tanner and Findlay continue to punish The Masked Patriot some more. When they’re both satisfied they shake hands with each other and Vin Tanner thanks O’Farraday for his help.
