Episode Seven Writing

[Pete]

Beedz, shall we do this the PWA way? If them out there don't like it, sod it. We'll keep doing it until they get used to it?

Because frankly that's the way real wrestling shows go, isn't it?

EDIT: Slim, I just read Syn's RP. You don't have to worry, from what I gather, he is describing what happened LAST week. It's Phoenix setting up this week's match. It doesn't influence this show.

That isn't cool ya know. You can't just force a way on someone and if they don't like then so be it and keep doing it. That's what WWE did with John Cena and look where that got him

I've been in numerous feds and like... the RPs help create the backstory, it helps build the story... but like promos for shows are different. Like say Jacqui had a segment on the show to talk... insert new promo. Which means now there is a chance to add more to her character, add more to her history, and more for us to know about. Instead of limiting her to that one single promo that everyone read during the week... and then we're just re-reading what we already saw and that isn't any fun. The goal is to keep evolving.

And I'm curious... why does things have to keep being done the "PWA way?" I'm not trying to be mean or anything... but we're not in PWA. We're in ACW. Its a merger... but we still should try things ACW way too. Not just keep going the PWA way.

Edit: And yeah I still wouldn't be able to. I leave in 30 minutes for work and won't be back til close to midnight. Cause when it looked like Syn was going to no show... it woulda been easy to have Flair dominate Syn, Drew gets offense in, but Syn would be the one to take the brunt of the abuse for no showing and pretty much be the one that gets pinned after interference from McHenry. But since Syn showed up... it would look better to have him on more equal grounding.

 

[BDC]

I'll do the match...not going to force anything

BUT, as we come to grips with this Merger, we will learn how to evolve into a newer, stronger ACW. More on the rest when I have time...first the show.

What was ur idea for the ending, Slim?

 

[Pete]

Didn't mean to sound aggressive there, Slim, so sorry if I did But that just makes it seem pointless to keep writing in-ring promos...I suppose I'll have to adapt.

In PWA, we made the distinction. "Televised" went into the show, "non-televised" didn't. So that way everyone knew what was in the show, and what wasn't.

 

[BDC]

I think I understand what Slim is saying. Everybody here reads all the rps and it gets redundant. SO...if we have an idea for segments or interviews...hmmm
I have ideas. But first the show...

 

[Pete]

Again, I'm not opposing anybody. That was a poor choice of words up there, and I'm sorry.

 

[BDC]

no prob, Petey. What about the other matches? Eric Snow and McHenry should be good squashlike matches to write.

 

[Pete]

A segment to be included in the show (as a result of Stevie being unavailable).

As a result of this, my active characters will be a tag team (this one, a PWA reunion) and two singles: Jacqui and Vycious (who will not be on every card, at least not for now). Bambi may disappear, too, and probably will.

This segment is to go at the end of the tag match, as part of the match itself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Stevie Starr begins to climb down the steps and up the ramp, Mercy, who sees what is going on, pulls Darren back towards the centre of the ring, then all the way to the other turnbuckle, where he tags in Indiana. The two greasers take profit of the few seconds in between the tag and the order for Mercy to leave, and perform a quick double team on the cowboy, punishing him with stomps. The referee continues to try to separate them, but Mercy and Indiana pay him no mind and go for their finishing combo of Superplex and Superfly Leap! They pull it off, and Indiana, the legal man, goes for the cover. But just as the referee is kneeling down to count to three...

Martin Mays: What is this?! Who is this?!

A small, lean figure has just appeared, whisking down the ramp at full speed, steel chair in hand. As he approaches the ring, Mercy squares off to him, but the newcomer hits him over the head with the chair. He then climbs the apron and breaks Indiana's pin by hitting him in the back with the steel chair as well. The referee calls for the bell, signalling the victory of the rockabilly duo, but the two don't seem too happy, as they regroup and retire, moodily.

Ashley Sparxx: The winners of this contest, as the result of a disqualification, Mercy and Indiana!

As the pair's theme song echoes through the small arena, however, it is another pair who stand triumphant in the middle of the ring. As the new arrival raises his partner's hand in the air, the camera closes up on an astonished Darren mouthing the question:

Darren Pesinger: What are you doing here?

Then, it switches around, to show the newcomer's smiling face uttering the simple answer:

Jack Ripper: I was in town...

 

[Pete]

A segment to cement their reunion as a tag team. Also for the written show.

BTW they are called RipperCussions.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the surprising ending of the tag match, the live feed cuts to the backstage, where Darren Pesinger and the man who saved him moments ago are walking down a hallway, all smiles and pats on the back. Darren seems astonished, a huge grin invading his usually deep-set features:

Darren Pesinger: How the HELL did you know to save me, Jackie-boy?!

The newcomer - Darren's old PWA Tag Team partner, Jack Ripper - smiles back, ribbing his friend playfully:

Jack Ripper: Man, Darren, being a heel must have fried your one braincell! That's STEVIE STARR. Did you really think he was going to come through for you? ESPECIALLY after what you said to him earlier...

Darren grins again, in spite of himself:

Darren Pesinger: So you was watchin' the show...

Jack Ripper: Yeah I was watching the show! What, you thought just 'cause I had retired I'd stopped caring?

The two man stop for a moment, just smiling at each other, no words necessary. Then, at lenght, it is Darren who speaks:

Darren Pesinger: Jack...thanks!

Ripper, in turn, just smiles modestly:

Jack Ripper: Nah, don't mention it. And from now on, if you need me...I'll always be around.

Darren's eyes widen:

Darren Pesinger: For real?

Jack nods:

Jack Ripper: Yeah. Somebody's gotta keep an eye on you, don't they? And to be honest, I had kind of started to miss wrestling... So what do you say? Should we give this a second try....partner?

The wiry youth holds out his hand, which Darren stares at for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. His indecision, however, does not last more than a few seconds, as soon he takes Jacqui's hand in a forceful grip:

Darren Pesinger: You're on...partner.

 

[Pete]

The JMac match...quick old-school jobber squash.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

John McHenry vs Aaron Asterisk

Ashley Sparxx: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Boston, Massachussets, weighing in at 240lbs....AARONNNNNN "A-STAAAAAR" ASTERIIIIIISSSSKKKK!!!

Remember the Name by Fort Minor begins to play, as Aaron Asterisk comes out. He stops in the middle of the ramp, as star-shaped pyro erupts behind him, then continues the run down to the ring. Once in there, he removes his flashy jacket and hands it to the ring announcer, just as another song begins to play.

Martin Mays: Asterisk looking for a win here tonight, against the always lethal John McHenry....

Kareem Ali: And speaking of the devil...

Ashley Sparxx: And introducing his opponent, from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, weighing in at 253 pounds....JOOOOOOOOHHHNNNNNN MCHENNNNNRRRRYYYYY!!!

A cash register is heard throughout the arena, soon followed by the first notes of Pink Floyd's "Money". As he walks down to the ring, John McHenry is all business, removing his suit jacket and tie so that he is in only a shirt from the waist up as he enters the ring and faces off with Asterisk.

The referee rings the bell and the two men lunge at each other. The larger McHenry immediately gains advantage, with a side headlock which he keeps for a few moments before applying a standing leg sweep to trip Asterisk up. He performs an elbow drop, then turns the younger man over and begins to apply an arm bar. Asterisk, clearly in pain, does however make it to the ropes. McHenry releases the hold, but punishes his opponent with a boot to the head.

Martin Mays: BIG boot to the head there by McHenry, as Asterisk is in all kinds of trouble!

McHenry stops to remove his shirt, before pulling his opponent to his feet and whipping him across, only to meet him with a big scoop slam. He then goes for the elbow drop to the head, but Asterisk rolls quickly out of the way, then attempts to counter with a cover...

ONE...

Aaron doesn't even get a two-count, as McHenry kicks out violently, throwing his opponent off of him, then performing a running splash onto Asterisk!

Martin Mays: What impact by McHenry! Here's the cover!

ONE...

TWO...

TH...

Asterisk kicks out just in time, but doesn't seem to be able to go much longer. McHenry, unfazed, locks in his "Ringing The Bell" submission and, with the combination of the pressure to the head and neck and the punches to the skull, soon has Asterisk tapping out.

Martin Mays: Oh my god..."Ringing The Bell"...and that's it! That's it! McHenry's got it!

Ashley Sparxx: Here is your winneeeeeerrrr....JOOOOOHNNNN MCHEENNNNNNRRRYYYY!!

The camera zooms in on McHenry, looking pretty pleased with himself for such a conclusive win, as the show cuts to commercial.

 

[Pete]

OK, was trying to get it all done today, but I'll have to owe you guys a match. Will post the Snow/Kraven/Allen match here tomorrow.

Goodnight bitches

 

[BDC]

good job PEtey! Will begin to piece this together.

 

[Slim]

Its all good Pete. And yeah BDC got what I was talkin bout. the segments and other televised stuff can be separate. Jacqui gonna be an interesting character... she won't survive against Phoenix

And asf ara s McHenry goes... I'd say have his music start sometime towards the end of the match and just have him clean house. Then whoever is supposed to win have him drape the arm over... the ref counts... then McHenry can either hit the winner with a finisher and stand tall or... he can just look down at the person, exit the ring and keep an eye on them while the person struggles to get back to their feet and watchin McHenry as he has a smug look on his face.

 

[BDC]

Ok, I'm checking with John to make sure that's the direction he wants before we push ahead. His rp sounds like he's got a direction in mind.

 

[Pete]

I think Jacqui will side with Phoenix - she has documented bad blood with Claressa...
