@mongooseisloose on Chirpy Whistler wants me to wrestle TWICE in the same night? What is he, some kind of sick pervert? I'm pretty sure there's a clause somewhere in Big Daddy Duke's lucrative contract that says I don't have to do that. @bookitkip on Chirpy If you don't want to do both matches, that's fine. Just forfeit the opportunity at the World Heavyweight Title or vacate the World Tag Team Titles. I'm sure "your boy" Penguino will understand. @mongooseisloose on Chirpy You put me in a real Sophie's Choice situation, Whistler! Looks like Big Daddy Duke is going to have to show the entire world that he can truly go all night! I'll fight twice, but I don't have to like it.

***JWA BOOBTUBE CHANNEL***
The camera settles in on Black Cat's house the night after Mania. A Hyper Bowl watch party is under way. Various members of the JWA Roster and Staff are attending.
Omega: Remind me again why the cameras are still up?
Black Cat: Well, JWA agreed to reimburse this party if I let them film some content for it.
Omega: So that's why Toni is in the hallway doing prediction interviews?
Black Cat: Yep.
Toni: So, Black Cat, who are you rooting for?
Black Cat: Well, in terms of living in the U.S, me, Diablo, and Omega call Chicago home, and the San Jose Flames beat Wisconsin, so that's who we're rooting for. By the way, is there any reason you haven't won the Hardcore Title back from your mic?
Toni: You kidding me? This way I'm basically the champion, without everyone trying to pin me. At some point during the game Toni sets down her mic to save her seat. A montage plays of various people sitting on the couch, followed by JWA's designated Hardcore Title Ref Tasha West counting a pin, followed then by said people jumping from the attempted pin fall count. Toni eventually returns grabs her mic.
Diablo: Be glad Artemis or Winter Hex aren't here yet.
Toni: I know right.
Summer: Oh, that reminds me, Bethany made this as an apology Black.
Summer passes over a handmade gift, along with a box of Girl Scout Cookies.

“I, for one, am looking forward to teaming with him. He’s unique, and it’s very challenging to maneuver around his… his—“
“His rotundity?” Arizona attempted to finish Red’s sentence, but he only elicited a frown from the Pirate.
“No, no… he is a bit of an immovable object, yes, and one that I’m excited to team with. Unfortunately, you’re teaming with a bit of an unstoppable force.” Rogers twirled the red wine in his glass thoughtfully.
“Listen, that’s.. ugh. I honestly don’t know how we’re going to deal with this. I mean, you’ve got a big advantage, friend. You don’t actually despise your partner, unlike, well, all the other teams.” Arizona removed the ribeyes from the grill to rest, while the vegetable skewers remained to get just a hint of char. “But that’s enough about that.”
“Boys, I have a challenge for you.” Veronica piped up from her lawn chair, where a floppy sun hat blocked out the bright Sedona afternoon sun. “Say three nice things about your partners.”
Rogers smiled. “You’ve chosen the path of light as usual. About Doom— he’s got a low center of gravity making him a great defensive wrestler, and… you said three? He’s perfectly consistent in his approach, and he’s never stabbed either of us in the back.”
Arizona frowned. “Mack is cunning, ambitious, and willing to do anything to get ahead, including betray every mentor he’s ever had.” Arizona clinked his antique highball glass against Red’s wine glass and downed the entire contents in one gulp. He pulled the vegetables off the fire, and plated dinner in silence.
Fortunately, Madison had grown bored of playing with her outdoor dollhouse and toddled over. “Unca Red, where Powwy? I got a cwacker!” Rogers smiled, and imitated the jaws of a parrot chomping down on the imaginary cracker offered. ”This will pass, friend. You’re blessed beyond your wildest dreams. It’s one match. Don’t let it bother either of us too much.”

A bleary eyed Omega walks into the training room the day after Mania.
Black Cat: Looks like someone had a good night.
Omega: Not in the slightest.
Diablo: Not by the looks of what we saw.
Black Cat shows a video of what happened on Mania.
Omega: That's absolutely not how I remember last night going.
Black Cat: Oh come on, just admit you had fun.
Omega: I'm not joking, dude set up that stupid blanket thing and that's about the last thing that follows how I remember last night.
Diablo: Okay, how do you remember last night then?
Omega: Nearly knocked that d-bag out after he kept throwing those pillows at me.
Black Cat: What about him braiding your hair.
Omega: I wear a mask, what hair would he be braiding?!
Diablo: Looked like you borrowed a wig right off a drag race runway.
Black Cat: That would explain the makeup, and the dresses.
Diablo: There's one thing I'm confused about.
Black Cat: The crushes they were calling?
Omega: I called one person last night, and that was me calling you trying to make an escape.
Diablo: No, how you guys caught a pair of marshmallows on fire over a toaster, leading to a building burning down.
Omega: NO BUILDING BURNED DOWN!
Omega looked near ready to pull his hair out, if it wasn't under his mask.
Omega: Just make sure Brad gets his ass down here so we can work on whatever in-ring chemistry we can manage.
Omega headed off to start training.
Diablo: That's all just him trying to rationalize what we all saw right.
Black Cat: Absolutely.

Dyno comments on TV return, current role, potential in-ring return... by Adam Mikele
This past week's episode of Glory saw a return to the spotlight for former JWA star Dyno where he announced the teams for the upcoming JWA Mad Dash Tag Lottery. We caught up with the Brit to get the latest on his role within the JWA.
MIKELE: "Dyno, thanks for giving us your time this evening. Firstly, how are things health wise?"
DYNO: "No probs Adam. Things are good ta, totally off the meds after the surgery now, which means I can go back to sinking a beer or 3, and it's now simply a case of rehab rehab rehab. But the pain is at a minimum and it's good to be able to travel again."
MIKELE: "That all sounds very promising, which leads to the obvious question, and something an old rival of yours Arizona Chance hinted at, is there an in-ring return in the making?"
DYNO: (laughs) "Listen, if "old man" Zona can still go and put on stellar matches you can never say no eh? But in all seriousness, that's not on the cards for me. Of course, no-one likes being told when it's time to finish, everyone would rather make that decision themselves, but the experts are called that for a reason right? They go through a hell of a lot to get to the top of their profession, and I remain eternally grateful to the JWA bosses for funding the surgery and all that, but they are of the opinion that, as far as an in-ring return goes, it's not on the table...besides, I am actually enjoying my role here in the JWA now I'm used to it."
MIKELE: "I'm sure that news will disappoint a fair few people but can you elaborate on your current role?"
DYNO: "Well it started off part time while I was recovering from the surgeries etc...simple things like organising public events, coordinating with host venues and the like, to now where I can travel regularly again, making public appearances on behalf of the JWA, while retaining those responsibilities. And I can now take a much more involved role in training the next gen too which is great. Kip also has me out there scouting for new talent. I thought we'd had a new addition to the Women's division all sorted but visa issues have delayed that for now."
MIKELE: "Any hints?"
DYNO: "That wouldn't be fair on her or the JWA Adam. Paperwork is still being worked on so it could still happen and if all sorted it then simply becomes a case of when the JWA can bring her in, but she's more than happy fighting her family at the mo, they're doing great business and I know she has a tour of Japan penciled in too."
MIKELE: "Sounds good for her albeit a blow for the JWA and it's every improving Women's locker room. Finally, how was it being back on TV last week? The fans definitely seemed pleased to see you!"
DYNO: "You never tire of walking out in front of a live audience Mike and getting a reaction. It's why we do this. But yeah that was fun, and more importantly, gave Kip more time to control things at the back. It's hard work running things and then having to go out there in public. Kip's not one for make HUGE announcement's every week just to get himself on TV and that's why he's so well respected. But yeah I obviously had the chance to take part in the costume contest at the back of last year which was a last minute thing 'cause I happened to be in town, but was a bit of fun, whereas having to announce the pairs for the Tag Lottery was more of a business thing and could've been lethal had we not got the professional environment we have in the JWA!"
MIKELE: "Thanks Dyno, we'll leave with one final question...who's your pick to win it and go on to challenge for the Tag titles?"
DYNO: "It's hard to predict Adam, which is why these sorts of tournaments are so well liked. Obviously the favourites have to be the 2 time champs Big Waves but I know they don't get on that well anymore, and to be a successful team you have to trust each other...same goes for Zona & Mack, can they swallow their pride long enough to function as a team? Brad and Omega have had some interesting interactions and I'm going to get a kick out of seeing how Red copes with Doom as a partner! All in all it should be a great tourney and gives the champs a worthy team to face at Super Glory!"
MIKELE: "Again Dyno, thanks for your time, and see you again soon!"
DYNO: "Take care Adam!"

(Inside Killie’s there’s all manner of decorations for Duke Mongoose and Penguino’s record breaking title reign. In the back area, surrounded by velvet ropes and security guards, is Duke Mongoose. Alone. Singing Rick Astley karaoke to an empty area.)
Duke: We’re no strangers to love. You know the rules, and so do I…
(Meanwhile the regular area of the bar begins to fill up with the regular cast of characters, all congratulating Penguino as Jackson pours drinks)
Jackson: Drink well, my friends! Tonight Big Daddy Duke is picking up the tab!
(Everyone lets out a hearty laugh, but none louder than Pierre the Enormous. Duke continues his singing, oblivious)

Omega and the crew finally reach Killie's, after a surprisingly long battle with Brad's grandmother to let him attend.
Omega: Penguino, congrats on breaking the record.
The crew takes their seats at a high-top, with Troglo taking a seat with Pierre. They look over at Duke and his little solo-party.
Black Cat: Damn, if he wasn't such a pain, that would almost makes me feel bad for the guy.
Diablo: Eh, he got let back in at all, that's practically the biggest win outside the ring he's had since he retired.
Troglo: Puny goose man will pay?
Pierre: Yeah, it's all on his tab tonight.
Omega: In that case, get me something top shelf Jax.
Brad's grabs a cup from the bar, knowing his tab is clear for the night.
Brad: Ya know Alpharius, it's been a while since I've been in here.
Omega: Yeah, I remember that western standoff you and Arizona had.
Brad: We whooped some Wheelin' Dealer butt tonight. It felt like a blur.
Omega: Next week won't be so easy.
He turns to Pierre and Troglo's booth
Omega: Although, I am excited to finally share a ring with you Pierre, may the better team win.

Pierre: As am I Omega
Troglo: Mask friend... fighting... Big friend? *he has a worried look on his face*
Pierre: As luck would have it we have to face each other in the Mad Dash...
Troglo: Troglo hate seeing friends fight...
Pierre: *I give him a look of reassurance* Omega and I will still be friends after this... I promise
Troglo: *reassured he gives me a bearhug*
Pierre: *I hug him back*

(As the festivities at Killie's continue, no one has dared to venture into the reserved section where Duke Mongoose continues singing karaoke by himself)
Duke: We... are the champions, my friends... and we'll... keep on fighting... 'til the end
(Johnny Kobra slips away from the rest of the group and walks all the way over to the velvet ropes)
Duke: We are the champions. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! NO TIME FOR LOSERS, 'CAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS...
(Johnny turns around and walks back to the group without saying a single word. Duke continues on, unaware)

A quizzical look comes across the buzzed face of Mongoose, as he looked for the source of the atrocious Freddie Mercury imitation. He frowned to see the man who he defeated cleanly in the J-1.ARIZONA: It’s not fair that Guino is getting all the kudos. I know as well as anyone how difficult it is to hold onto gold for as long as you have. Arizona holds up a glass. Here’s to the Forever Champs, long may you continue to reign. At least you won’t have to worry about me or Mack coming after the belts anytime soon. Arizona reaches out the glass. Duke simply stares back. Arizona clinks his glass against the one on the table that Duke refuses to pick up. Arizona walks away, singing “I’ve taken my bows, and my curtain calls…”

(As the evening at Killie's is winding down, Yuppie VP breaks away from the group and crosses into the back area where Duke Mongoose is still singing karaoke by himself)
Yuppie: Duke! Duke!
Duke: (taken aback) Oh! Yupster! Do you have a request? Big Daddy Duke has been playing all the hits!
Yuppie: There's a tune I'd like to do, if you don't mind, but I'll need some assistance on the chorus.
Duke: I suppose I can do that. What song?
Yuppie: Trust me, you'll know it when I start it up.
(Yuppie works on the Karaoke machine for a moment, then the slow opening chords of "Linda Linda" by The Blue Hearts begins. Yuppie begins singing, in perfect Japanese)
Yuppie: Dobunezumi mitai ni utsukushiku naritai shashin ni wa utsuranai utsukushi-sa ga arukara
(The punk rock song then kicks into full gear for the chorus, which Duke joins in on)
Yuppie & Duke: LINDA LINDA! LINDA LINDA LINDA-AH!
(As the second verse comes and goes, the energy of the two singing is infectious and the whole bar chimes in on the second chorus)
Everyone: LINDA LINDA! LINDA LINDA LINDA-AH!
(The evening at Killie's comes to a close following this rare moment of everyone being one team)

BUZZ-FED.COM EXCLUSIVE WHO'S BEHIND THE SHOVEL VIGNETTE? This week's Mania started with a mysterious video clip, but what wrestler was being teased? BY SCOTT MILLAR
If you caught this weekend's JWA Mania, aside from strong showings from Legado Del Infierno and Artemis's Hunters, you'll have seen that mysterious opening vignette of an unseen person dragging a heavy shovel down a road. Nothing else was seen: no writing, no soundtrack to speak of. History tells us to expect more videos in the coming weeks that will expand on the vignette, but that hasn't stopped the internet from speculating about what the JWA have planned. There have been some wild swings at new superstars the JWA might have signed, but in this post we're focusing on potentially returning wrestlers who've been gone for a while...
Conor Caine The natural first choice would be The Relentless One, who for weeks has been rumoured to be plotting his comeback despite not being medically cleared. However, as was stated multiple times on last week's Glory, without being signed off by physicians Conor Caine will NOT be welcomed back by the JWA, with Yuppie VP saying he doesn't expect to see Conor until Summer at the earliest.
Tommy End The Dutch Destroyer has been AWOL since the J-1 last year, with Kip Whistler moving him from active status to Alumni. That said, we've learned from the past not to count Tommy End out and it's not outside the realms of possibility that End would arrive back as soon as Super Glory with a fresh new gimmick!
Seph Kobane The former Compound member and one-time Bad Luck Bro left his mentor, the loveable and erratic Bad Luck Bradley, high and dry in their recent tag team run. All reports indicate that Kobane is done with the squared circle, preferring a life spent staring at retro gadgets, but what if Kobane - somebody always under the thrall or tutelage of another - has decided to walk his own path, and that path leads right towards Super Glory, and an intention to run for the JWA title?
The Fly An outlier for sure, but back in 2022 The Fly showed up in the audience at JWA shows and looked poised to hop the barrier and show great things in the squared circle. That didn't come to pass back then, but the man seemed to have a flair for the unpredictable and what a surprise it would be if he showed up on screens again armed with a shovel?
Who do you think the character in the vignette was, and what do think this will lead to? Let us know in the comments!
