I detailed this story on the fed's Discord channel for those who joined it, but I'll repeat it here. This show would've been up last Friday, but I thought I was going to close my eyes for like 5 mins. when I got home and ended up taking a nap for 8-9 hrs. that evening after work. Got up, ate dinner, and went back to sleep for another 6 hours. Must've been a LOT more tired than I thought from this new schedule. Seriously, I'm SOOOO not a morning person LOL. Ended up spending the entire weekend catching up on my Zzz's. Monday was RAW 25 and I was already forcing myself to stay awake during that entire snoozefest of a show, so I posted the show up before I went to bed last night.
Currently working on the next card and I adore you guys' patience. You're saints for that.
TBH I didn't even notice until I was about to post/publish the show that it was at the Barclays Center, same venue where RAW 25 was this past week. I made myself chuckle at that for a second there. At least our fans didn't go home mad like the folks at the Manhattan Center did during that show this week.
"The Queen of Submission" Casey Cortez def. "The Hardcore Monster" Carnage (w/ Morrigan Aensland)
Remember those old Attitude Era matches where they'd have Chyna fight someone like Kane or another jacked up powerhouse? That's what I was picturing here when I wrote this, even down to the finish. The finish was merely me keeping the storyline between Carnage and the Enforcers alive in terms of continuity. I even got to channel a bit of Chyna through Casey (❤Rose❤) with the Low Blow spot. Most believable method to convince people that she was able to beat him in that fashion IMO, even with her strength/power in the equation. Plus the loss here for Carnage doesn't take anything away from him as it was because of the distraction from the Enforcers.
Senor Vinnie def. Jayson Heagerty
I kept this one a little short and sweet because I felt everything else on this card dragged on a bit too long in terms of my writing. I hope Patrick and senorvinnie didn't mind as I at least tried to make this fun despite being shorter than some of the other matches on this card.
Zabrina Masters def. "The Blonde Bombshell" Sarah Richardson
The Grand Zabrina missed the deadline but wanted to get something in better than nothing. To her credit, she's been promoting the match a bit on social media to boot. Another shorter match that I didn't want to drag out for too long.
The Mega Busters (Matthew Miles & Psycho Sagus) def. "The Mountain" Rex Terrell & "The Wraith" Ry Drake
BulletxToxThexHeart no showed the card, but after he put up his LOA notice, I figured I could do an "upset" win for the Mega Busters here as I have no doubt that Drake and Rex will bounce back better than ever after their break. My promo with the Mega Busters was the beginning of my goal for the New Year for them to begin to turn heads as they take their work seriously while at the same time, not taking anything away from their dorky/nerdy charm that I love writing about them.
Fatal 4 Way Match
"Tattooed Beauty" Laura Jackson def. Talia Areano , Lily Evol (w/ "The Glam Star" Brooklyn Glamorous), and "The Silver Screen Queen" Crystal Hilton
Crystal (sarahrichardson) and Talia Areano let me know that they were going to be unable to make the deadlines for various personal reasons, so I didn't penalize them for it in the results. They got some good spots in as part of the action, but I left them out of the finish. SinCityDollz loves her current feud with Laura Jackson so she wanted to put her over to add to the narrative that she's telling throughout this show between Brooklyn, Tiana (her and Xion's teenage daughter), and Xion on the course of the multiple segments before and after this match. I was kinda wondered about the length, but we're world/story-building here after putting off character development for our characters so long so bare with us in that regard LOL.
Also before anyone floods my inbox asking, Brooklyn and I got this storyline planned so no volunteering out anyone for being someone who "magically" kidnapped their daughter. We've discussed where we're going with this so just stay tuned.
Singles Match
Chance Justice vs. "Weapon-23" Ryan Kendrick
First of two matches on this card that senorvinnie helped me out by writing. I thought Vinnie did a great job making both Chance (❤Knightmare INC) and Squall Leonhart look strong here.
Singles Match
Justin Lockhart vs. "The Goddess" Amanda Cortez (w/ Rose Cortez)
Another match that I gave the honors of writing to senorvinnie. He merely left the finish open. I had a finish in mind, but totally blanked on what it was by the end of the work week and merely went with the rollup by Justin (Patrick) after Amanda (❤Rose❤) accidentally knocked Rose off the ring apron.
Zora Graysen and Mariah Segment
Zora Graysen and I are merely continuing where we left off on the story we started with these two characters a few months ago. Of course we fast-forwarded a bit but there's going to be some flashbacks over time to reveal the "fruits" Zora's training under MiMi's coaching and mentor-ship.
Singles Match
Vanessa (in-ring debut; w/ Women's Champion "The Mad Queen" Susie Price) vs. Ashleigh Cash
Susie Price has been under the weather over the last few weeks and we haven't been able to get anything done in terms of collaborating for this like we would have liked for this and a segment to promote Reina de Reinas Tres with Vi.. We did manage to agree on the finish here in terms of where we wanted to go with this story, so that's a plus.
Main Event #1: Stardom Tag Team Classic - Semi-Final Match #1
Television Champion "High Spot Hero" Equinox & "The Iceman" Konrad Raab def. The Doombringer & Brother Zachariah
Brother Zachariah let me know of his LOA since I emailed him since I was concerned after he wasn't logging in since the start of the year and I wanted to check in to see if he was alright. I didn't want to leave The Legendary Doombringer high and dry, so I wanted to have some fun writing this one with "The Iceman" Konrad Raab and KingOfHighSpots involved. I made sure Doombringer wasn't the one who got pinned during the finish while writing in an "injury" of sorts to write off Zachariah for the next few episodes until he's able to return.
Main Event #2: Stardom Tag Team Classic - Semi-Final Match #2
GZWA Tag Team Champions "The Bobbilicious One" Bobbi Jackson, Eliza Frost, and "The Domniqtrix" Dominique Frost def. The Bradley Clan ("The Next Level" Mike Bradley, "The Guru" Danielle Bradley, "The Bouncer" Kris Williams, and "Dynamo"Jesse Bradley
This was the last match of the semi-finals and I wanted to make this match fun to read too. The Bradley Clan let me know that he wanted the girls of the Bradley Clan to represent their team for this match while Bobbi Jackson and TheFrosts told me to pick whoever I wanted for this. I haven't wrote one of Dominique's matches in a while so I decided to change it up and put Eliza on the sidelines since she was the one who got sick in their promos for the show.
The finish here was essentially like the finish in Casey/Carnage as I'm merely reminding people that I'm keeping storylines/feuds going. The Bradley Clan still have beef with the Machine so having the Rocketts interfere was part of keeping that alive.
I didn't want to sell any of the ladies short here so that's why this one is full of reversals upon reversals and counters for each other's offense back and forth. I mean c'mon, Bobbi and the Frosts are the reigning GZWA Tag Team champions after all
