Nov 1990 Survival of the Fittest
Backstage, the Triumvirate, as Codger, Fantasy, and Tycoon have now started calling themselves, laid out the show. Tycoon pointed out the with 7 segments, and Sports Entertainment being the higher rated show, Fantasy gets to name the extra segment.
“Gentlemen,” began Tycoon, “we’ve already determined that Undermaster v Lazer will be the main event, and the sub main event is the 6 man elimination match. We’ve also agreed upon Exotic Rick forming a team for a second elimination match, and we’ve agreed on Dragonfly v a Masakari for the Cruiserweight Title. Mr Fantasy, that leaves two segments for you, and one for you, Mr. Codger.”
“I like the Def Row, and think they should earn a title shot if they win— wait for it— a mixed elimination tag match. The former champs, Howl and Roar, find a female partner, and Valkyrie teams with 2-Zap and BB.” Fantasy leaned back, proud of himself.
Codger replied, “Good choice. There’s a guy on our roster who hasn’t had a chance after he won a major tournament, and he should be given the time to tell us about his plans. I want a Dirk Dungeon Promo.”
Fantasy smirked. “OK. My final segment will be... revealed later.”
1. The show opened with the Cruiserweight Title match. Dragonfly and Masakari wowed the crowd with their high flying, death defying moves. Unfortunately, due to s gate mixup, the crowd was filing in and the arena was almost empty when the match began. Dan Mixer later wrote, “I give the match 4*, but the arena crew minus five stars for that debacle.” Masakari wins with an Eagle Arrow from the top of a ladder to become champ, and roughly 2,000 of the 80,000+ saw the match from start to finish.
2. The arena had mostly filled by the time Exotic Rick filled time with s pre-match promo announcingbhis partners— and formidable partners they were in Chicano and Big Rig. Mr. Tycoon announced his opponents... Reptile Ranger, and the Dobermans. Ranger and the Dobermans picked up the win when Doberman Denny hit the Doberslam on Chicano.
3. Mr. Fantasy chose to use his surprise segment to bring out Chet Skye, still on crutches, but sporting sunglasses, and his neon had been traded in for a business casual look. Fantasy began, “When Chet here returns, he is the future of wrestling. No more will he have the albatross of Jessie Wild around his neck. He will be free to fly, and he will fly higher than he ever dreamed. He will soar straight to the top of the wrestling business.” Chet simply smirked, winked, and hobbled away on his crutches.
4. Def Row and Valkyrie came down. Howl and Roar stood at the ramp, and Leo announced that their partner would be his girlfriend from back home, Mynx. Shockingly, the Def Row scored the first elimination with a Def Jam on Wolf. Leo then managed to land a Thunderstrike first on BB, then on 2-Zap, eliminating both. Mynx was tagged in, and fought Val hard, but eventually she had nothing left in the tank. She tagged in Leo, who hesitated to fight a woman, but Val insisted. Leo eventually, reluctantly, hit a Thunderstrike for the win. Mynx ran in and embraced her man, and the two kissed.
5. Dirk Dungeon headed to the ring for his promo. “Ummm... hi. I never envisioned myself talking to this many people, but I also never envisioned myself being anything other than the S-Mart employee I was a couple years ago. But people inspired me to be better than I was. People like Average Guy. Like Lazer. Like Arizona Chance. Heck, even like Dr. B. They’re all larger than life. I was actually smaller than life.
Then, I decided to do something with my life. I trained hard, took my vitamins, said my prayers. Right, Brohan? I started to believe I could do this. Then I entered the Cruiserweight Cup, and by some miracle I won. And what have I done since? Nothing. Not a dang thing. Well, that changes today. Masakari, I want a title shot. I’ve earned it, and I deserve it. Triumvirate— make it happen, so these people can look to me for inspiration like I’ve looked to so many of these guys.”
6. Ace came out with Dr. B and Beer Can Man, talking trash and ready for a war. Dude, the Hunk, and Freedom Fighter charged thebring, and the ref rang the bell with all 6 men in the ring. Order was restored when Ace’s team was cleared from the ring. Ace scored the first eliminationwith an Ace Crusher on Freedom Fighter. Hunk ran in immediately and rolled up Ace for a surprise three count, and Hunk flipped the aces at Ace as Ace was led to the back by several officials. Hunk got caught by a Clubber, but got a foot on the ropes, and tagged in Brohan, who eliminated both Dr. B and BCM with Big Bro Leg Drops. Hunk and Brohan both earned shots at titles of their choice.
7. In what Dan Mixer hailed as a “changing of the guard”, Undermaster did the unthinkable and scored a clean pinfall victory on Lazer in a back and forth match. Undermaster endured the Lazerlock for a full minute before escaping, and after dodging a Lazer Splash, hit the Grave Digger. The announcers pointed out that this was Lazer’s first clean loss in over two years. The show faded to black as Undermaster held the belt high.

(Side note: I just realized that Undertaker debuted at Survivor Series 1990, and in my Fed, Undermaster won his first title at Survival of the Fittest 1990. I can’t take credit for planning that, but it’s a cool coincidence.)
Dec 1990 Monday Night Live
The Hunk barged into the now shared office of the Triumvirate. “Do you smell that?” He inhaled deeply. “What The Hunk is smellin’ is the sweet aroma of victory, the scent of change in the air. The Hunk is cashing in his title shot now for a world title match against Undermaster.”
Tycoon responded. “Before you do that, why don’t you hear our plans? We were going to hold a mini-tournament to determine the number one contender, with you facing Ace tonight, and the winner challenging the winner of our co-main event next week for the right to headline the biggest show of the year. And if you win, you get to keep your guaranteed title shot in your back pocket. What do you think?”
Hunk lowered his sunglasses. “The Hunk thinks this: the only thing better than the Hunk kicking Undermaster’s candy butt is the Hunk kicking Undermaster AND Ace’s candy butts. The Hunk agrees. If you SMEEEEEEELL what the Hunk is smellin’!”
Hunk abruptly left the room. Codger looked around and sniffed. “The only thing I smell is Fantasy’s cologne.”
1. Dirk Dungeon earned a hard fought victory over Skelescreem. Dungeon crushed his face with a Boomkick to a lukewarm crowd reaction.
2. Ezekiel w/ Vegas defeated Zeke Mullett w/Cletus via Divine Intervention. Ezekiel states after the match, “Thou shalt not be a smelly redneck. That should be the 11th commandment.”
3. The Hunk and Ace of Spades squared off in a singles match, and for the second consecutive night, Hunk scored a pinfall on Ace. Both men were on their A game, and the crowd roared more with each near fall. Ace went for the Crusher, but Hunk countered into a Samoan Drop. He followed up with two Hunka Dunks because he knew one wouldn’t keep Ace down.
4. Freedom Fighter defeated Beer Can Man in a follow up to the elimination tag match. BCM joked backstage about how he was the last surviving member of his team, while FF was the only one eliminated. FF asked for this match because though he couldn’t ask for a title shot, he could get some satisfaction from beating down BCM. He landed the Haymaker of Justice for the win.
As a side note, hostilities in the Middle East began hours before the show, with American tanks driving out the invading forces of their enemies from their allies land. After the match, FF led fans in a moment of silence for the troops to pray for their safety. Nuclear Warhawk emerged unannounced from the back with an American Flag. He started waving it, and for a few seconds everything went great. Then NW started riding on the flagpole as if it were a horse, galloping around the ring. FF grabbed the flag with one hand as Warhawk was going to pass by and hit him with the Haymaker of Justice with his other hand, leaving him out cold. FF proudly carried the flag to the back, while trainers brought out smelling salts for NW.
5. Trixie defeated ladies champ Princess Starbright and earned a chance at the Ladies Title the next time the title was defended.
6. Lazer, Dr. B, and O’Hooligan fought in a three way dance to face Hunk next week. Just at the end of the match, O’Hooligan landed the Barroom Brawl on Lazer, and Dr. B hit a Clubber on O’Hooligan. He went for the pin, but the bell rang as the ref counted one for a time limit draw. Dr. B went nuts, tearing up the announce table, and ripping up the apron skirt.
Fantasy and Codger both came out. Codger scolded Dr. B first, saying he was a professional. As far as this match goes, as a result of the draw, Hunk will have his title shot next week, not at the PPV. Fantasy told Dr. B that additionally, he will get one more shot at Average Guy in two weeks. However, the next time he loses will be the last time we see Dr. B in an ABCW ring.

Dec 1990 Sports Entertainment
The Triumvirate were discussing plans for Beyond War Dome when Hunk arrived. “Glad you could make it. Please have a seat,” intoned Mr. Fantasy.
Mr. Codger spoke to the Hunk. “Since there was no winner in the three way dance last week... we’ve decided to move up your title shot to tonight. The winner will face Ace of Spades at Beyond War Dome. So tonight, you’re fighting not just for a chance to headline the biggest show of the year, you’re also fighting for the title.”
Hunk nodded and left, speechless for the first time in his life. Before the door even closed, Dude Brohan and Lazer entered. “Well you know somethin’ Triumphant... Trimorvant... you three guys— the Dudester has been talking to Lazer here, and now that he’s not doing anything for Beyond War Dome, I want to take advantage of my title challenge there. We want Command and Conquer for the Tag Titles, brothers!”
Tycoon looked at the other two authority figures, and simply said, “Done.” Fantasy said, “And, you’ll face them in a non-title match tonight!”
1. Jessie Wild loses to Skelescreem via Chet Skye hobbling to ringside on crutches, then blasting Wild with a crutch to the head, allowing Skelescreem to land the Fear Factor for the pin. Skye grabs a mic, declares himself well, says the Wild is a blight on the wrestling ring, and challenges Wild to a Loser Leaves ABCW match at Beyond War Dome.
2. Beer Can Man strolls to the ring with a Metallica song blasting in the background. “I’m tired of being an afterthought around here. Nobody takes me or Ronny Believer seriously, saying we can’t wrestle because our preferred method of violence ain’t as pretty as some of these other clowns. So Ronny— what do you say we prove the doubters wrong with a scientific wrestling match at Beyond War Dome?” Believer appeared on the big screen, and said he would wrestle BCM into the ground.
3. Brohan and Lazer steamrolled Command and Conquer, even with The Gargoyle at ringside. The highlight of the match was when Lazer and Brohan had Copper Commander and Iron Mask up for synchronous gorilla press slams, when Gargoyle started making gestures like he was casting a spell. Brohan and Lazer looked at each other, then threw both men over the top onto Gargoyle. The finish came when Lazer put the Lazerlock on Mask as Brohan hit the Big Bro Leg Drop on Commander for the pin.
4. Dragonfly failed in an attempt to regain the Cruiserweight Title from Masakari. Dragonfly missed the Dragonstar Splash, which allowed Masakari to deliver the Eagle Arrow for a pinfall.
5. Ace of Spades walked to the ring, mic in one hand, case of beer in the other. He announced that he would be at ringside scouting the Hunk v Undermaster match up close and personal, figuring out the best way to stomp a mud puddle in each of them.
6. Dan Mixer wrote later that this was “the most predictable finish of 1990, but the one that had to take place.” Undermaster and Hunk has a great 50/50 match with each other, a ref bump took place, Hunk ate an Ace Crusher followed by a Grave Digger for the tainted loss.

It's cool that Undermaster is champion.
And it should stay that way.
Because Undermaster is the best.

Dec 1990 Weekend Attitude
Mr. Codger addressed the other members of the Triumvirate. “This is the go home show for the biggest event of the year and I want to make it special. Now, even though Dr. B has been a bit unhinged lately, I think we owe it to his legacy to give him the opportunity to go out on his terms. He gets his title rematch tonight. If he wins, he gets a major match at Beyond War Dome. If he loses, he gets to give a retirement speech.” Tycoon and Fantasy nodded their heads in assent.
1. Chet Skye scored a quick victory over Vegas with Ezekiel in his corner. Jessie Wild again tried to interfere, and again he was cut off by a member of the Smooth Criminals, telling Jessie he was better than this. Ezekiel got on the microphone after the match, speaking not about the match, but about Wild. “Jessie, how long have you been sober now? About a month? What’s been driving you to stay that way? That’s right— revenge on Chet. You’ll get your hands on him next week, but what then? Remember, vengeance is mine, says the Lord— what’s going to keep you going after you get your vengeance? The Smooth Criminals have been stopping you because once you get your vengeance, you’ll fall into your old habits. Unless of course, you find something else to keep you on the straight and narrow. Maybe you’ll find God like we did. Maybe that beautiful wife and kids you have back home will keep you clean. But this— this will not make you a better man. There’s a lot of lost souls in this business, and we don’t want you to become another. Think about that this week.”
2. Lazer and Dude Brohan we’re working out in Brohan’s gym. “Well, you know somethin’ Lazer, it’s been a long year for the Dudester. I thought I’d come here and be just as successful as I was in New York. But you— you’ve been a true friend, and me and all the little Dudesters thank you for standing by my side.”
“Dude... what are you talking about? You’ve set aside your personal gain to achieve a common goal. That’s more than I can ask. The least I can do is partner with you to get some gold around that waist of yours.” The two shook hands, and stared into the camera. “Whatcha gonna do, Command and Conquer, when the Dudester and Lazer destroy you?!?”
3. The Dobermans fall to Def Row via the Def Jam after Valkyrie distracts Doberman Denny, allowing Duke to get double teamed.
4. Command and Conquer and the Gargoyle talk about how there is no force greater than evil, and their combined evil will overcome the goodness of Lazer and Brohan. (Dud rating)
5. Nuclear Warhawk arrives carrying an American flag again. “I’m the most patriotic, red blooded American here. That turncoat that tried to talk about how he loves America— he fought against the same people we’re fighting now in the 80’s with the Soviets and lost! We’re rolling through their towns, killing them without taking casualties, showing their women how to have a good time, and keeping those oil wells flowing, baby! I’ve always been on the winning side, in war, in wrestling, and in bed. Hey-oooo!”
Freedom Fighter stormed out, mic in hand. “I hear enough of you. You talk about things that should not talk about! Yes, I fight for Soviets before. That before I taste freedom! I love USA! You don’t know what it like to be told lies whole life, and find out truth later. I make mistakes but I do right thing now. You live here whole life, and you do wrong every chance you get! We fight next week for right to wave Red, White, and Blue!” Mr. Codger came out behind FF and said, “Let’s make it official. Freedom Fighter versus Nuclear Warhawk, at Beyond War Dome... in a flag match!”
6. Dr. B regained the TV Title in a clean win over Average Guy. After hitting the Clubber for the victory, Dr. B grabbed a mic. “Well, it’s no secret I’ve had a back and forth relationship with you fans. For what it’s worth, when this run as Dr B is over and I go back to being just another guy on the block, I’ll miss it. But for now, I’ve got one more match.” The fans chanted “One More Match” as the show faded to black.
Except, it wasn’t the show, but the arena lights that faded to black. The lights came back on, and Undermaster was standing over a prone Dr. B with his mic. “You gentlemen running things seem to have forgotten about your main event. I will take Ace to the depths of hell and back before next week is over. He will know he’s been in the ring with the best, and when the new year begins, so begins the Year of Darkness, when the rest of ABCW will... Rot... In...Hades!”

“Showing their women how to have a good time” is a truly revolting line. Nuclear WarHawk deserves a run as a main heel. He reminds me of WCW Scott Steiner in his promos.
Since it’s 1990, I can’t imagine you’re pulling the trigger on Brohan’s heel turn on Lazer. But the build has been amazing.

Since it’s 1990, I can’t imagine you’re pulling the trigger on Brohan’s heel turn on Lazer. But the build has been amazing. I saw his card, with the stupid poop-eating grin and the cigar, and knew exactly what I had to do— make him the most inappropriate character I reasonably could. Based on your suggestion, there’s a 142 2/3 chance of him having a great heel run (with the appropriate backing, since anytime he gets touched he goes down like a tons of bricks). The math adds up. As for the eventual Brohan heel turn... we’ll see. I have to end the year strong first. I can’t let Cotguy finish three years before I finish one. |

Dec 1990 Beyond War Dome
1. The show opens with the Loser Leaves ABCW match between Chet skye and Jessie Wild. Ezekiel and Vegas were at ringside on commentary. The two start the match by standing toe to toe and berating each other for their past actions. Skye and Wild then traded punches in the middle of the ring, and Wild gained the first advantage with a wicked clothesline that sent skye to the outside, followed by a top rope plancha. Wild remained in control, but Skye cut him off with a poke to the eye, which led to Skye targeting Wild’s head repeatedly. He screamed at Wild between each move, calling him “the anchor that held me down”, and “dead weight”. Skye set up for the finish.
Wild came back when Skye missed the superkick and crotched himself on the top rope. Wild then bounced the self-declared “HFK” on the rope, and the crowd went nuts. Wild nailed a cross-body that sent both over the top, with Skye’s head sickeningly bouncing off the apron on the way to the concrete floor. Wild was up first, directly in front of Ezekiel, when Ezekiel pulled a small paper out of his pocket and handed it to Wild. Wild looked at it for a moment, and his demeanor changed from aggressive to almost tearful. Wild rolled the lifeless Skye back into the ring, stood him up, and hit the Torpedo Dropkick. Wild then shockingly rolled the unconscious Skye on top of himself and told the ref to count. The shocked ref obliged, and Wild rolled Skye off him after the three count ending his ABCW career. He grabbed the paper from Ezekiel, kissed it, and laid it on top of the supine Skye. Wild waved tearfully to the fans, bowed, and walked out. The camera zoomed in on the note on top of Skye. Written in crayon, the note read, “Daddy, I miss you. Love, Jessie Jr.”
2. An American Flag was affixed to a pole on the entrance ramp. Freedom Fighter walked past first, solemnly saluted the flag, and walked past. Nuclear Warhawk then entered, focused more on his opponent, and started screaming about how “Ruskies never really change!”, and some comments about vodka, borscht, and how he knew from experience that Russian women know how to keep you warm. The bell rang, and Freedom fighter immediately hit the Haymaker of Justice. He then drug Nuke out of the ring and up the ramp, schooling him on what it means to be a true patriot. Halfway up the ramp, Nuke hit FF with a low blow, dropping him to his knees. Nuke stumbled to his feet, then mentioned how warm FF’s Russian wife would make him feel tonight.
Out from the curtain ran Teeny Norman, now recovered fully from the exploding ring incident. Nuke looked at Teeny, the only thing between him and victory, and laughed. Teeny reared back and kicked Nuke full force in the nuts, and the crowd exploded. Nuke hilariously crumpled to the ground, and he and FF both started crawling toward the flag in the slowest race ever. It looked like Nuke might get there first, but Norman grabbed a chair and laid six huge shots into Nuke’s back. FF finished his crawl, then waved the flag proudly in victory.
3. Beer Can Man and Ronny Believer walked out to ringside together, each wearing collegiate style amateur wrestling headgear. The bell rang, and they parodied a Greco-Roman style for a couple minutes, and then the match began in earnest, with BCM taking the early advantage. About eight minutes in, Believer hit BCM with a running lariat, and BCM fell into the ref, who tumbled all the way to the outside.
Believer grabbed BCM, slammed him, then rolled outside and grabbed a Singapore Cane from under the ring. Believer rolled in, raised the cane above his head, and... hesitated. He shook his head no, then put the cane down. Believer went for Violent Tendencies, but was countered by BCM into a DDT. BCM picked up the cane and started wailing on Believer. He tossed the broken cane aside and revived the ref. Believer kicked out at 2 7/8. BCM tried for a pile driver, but Believer reversed it into Violent Tendencies for the win.
4. The tag titles were on the line as Command and Conquer cane to ringside. The Gargoyle was not with them. Suddenly, the video screen showed Brohan and Lazer asleep backstage, with The Gargoyle seeming to be casting some sort of incantation. Average Guy came running into the room, screaming “Y’all’s match is comings up now!” He and Gargoyle both looked surprised at each other’s presence, and Average Guy quickly put Gargoyle to sleep with an Average Elbow. He got Lazer and Dude woken up, and they staggered to ringside.
Lazer and Dude then decisively destroyed Command and Conquer just like they had two weeks prior to become first time Tag Team Champs. The two celebrated and invited Average Guy out to party with them.
5. TV Champ Dr. B slowly made his way up the ramp. Dicky Thunderbird followed, and the ref held aloft the TV Title. The bell rang and Dicky surprisingly charged across the ring, attacking Dr. B while he was placing his ring jacket in the corner. Dr. B didn’t generate much offense in the early going, and worked from underneath. He had several comeback attempts cut off by Dicky, and with each false comeback, the fans popped louder. Finally, Thunderbird climbed the ropes for the Thunderbird Chop, and Dr. B caught him in midair and turned it into a belly to belly suplex. Doc started rolling, hitting his signature offense, and attempted the Clubber, but Thunderbird ducked under, and rolled up Dr. B, grabbed the back of his tights, and got the three count.
Thunderbird celebrated his TV Title victory and left, leaving Dr. B alone in the ring, on his knees. He stayed there for a few seconds as the fans chanted “Thank You Doctor.” Dr. B then removed his gold chains, placed them neatly in the center of the ring, waved to acknowledge the fans, and walked out, shedding a single tear as he made his way up the ramp a final time.
6. We cut to the back, where the wrestlers had formed a kind of human tunnel, where Dr B was making his way through the back, shaking hands and saying his goodbyes. The camera moved to Codger asking Fantasy, “Did we do the right thing here?” Fantasy replied, “Whether we did or not, it’s done. But I think I have something that will cheer you up.”
The camera cut to a construction site where a nearly completed building was being erected. The Hunk was there with a hard hat and a microphone in hand. “The Hunk is coming to you live from downtown Phoenix, where you are witnessing the most electrifying event in culinary history. Behind me is the construction site of the newest restaurant on the planet— ABCW Phoenix. When this place opens next week, it will serve zillions and zillions of the Hunk’s fans, and you will all finally be able to SMEEEEEELLLLL what the Hunk’s chefs are cookin’!”
The camera cut back to Codger, who had a face that combined shock, anger, and WTF. Fantasy was giddy beside him. “So, Codger, what do you think of our latest venture?”
“I’ll tell you what I think Fantasy. I think you’ve invested a significant portion of our profits without telling me, in an industry you know nothing about, in a venture that’s probably going to fail! And you did it without it even being on the books! You sneaky, conniving, double crossing [censored]! We’re going to finish out tonight, but then we’re going to get Tycoon to work out some sort of separation agreement, you lunatic!”
7. Undermaster retains the World Title over Ace when Exotic Rick interferes. Rick is sporting a new look, which involves a black trench coat, and his hair and moustache are also dyed jet black. Undermaster and Rick proclaim 1991 to be the Year of Darkness, and promise to reveal their plans as time goes by.

Please comment if you’ve got something you’d like to see happen in “The Year of Darkness”. Terrific write up to end a terrific year. From an in game standpoint, I think it’s still too early to talk about a wNe Invasion, but it might be interesting to hear more about your ‘competition.’ The 90s were really defined my the Monday Night Wars. What do you imagine they’re doing? Since you already have an in universe dirt sheet... would they report on Wrestle World? (Based on your roster m, they probably feature a lot of matches with Jet Set Strutter and Troglo? ) |

Wrestling Viewer, Jan 5, 1991
PHOENIX— We have just received word here at the Viewer that several of the top stars in ABCW have defected to Wrestle World. Rumors include much of the Cruiserweight division, including former champion Dragonfly, and several members of the ABCW roster who claim they were underutilized, including 11 year company vets Average Guy and Kannibal Keith.
It seems the biggest reason for this mass exodus is financial— due to massive investments in the themed restaurant ABCW Phoenix, the management team of Codger and Fantasy has been forced to be more judicious in terms of salary. Fantasy’s hope is that the profits from the restaurant will allow them to eventually sign back competitors in their prime or to secure new talent from the independent circuit.
The other big reason is an influx of cash from a rumored new owner of Wrestle World. This perfect storm has led to the biggest shakeup in modern wrestling times. Whether ABCW will be able to recover or has been dealt a fatal blow remains to be seen. This is Dan Mixer reporting.
