Greetings, grapple fans!
Tonight's main event has championship implications, as Duke Mongoose takes on one half of the JWA World Tag Team Champions, Pierre The Enormous. Pierre and his tag partner Chesterton Shredsbury, collectively known as Big Waves, won the belts in a four way match and taking those titles away from Duke Mongoose and "Lord" Taylor Thorin. Last week we saw Thorin pick up a victory over JWA World Heavyweight Champion "Relentless" Conor Caine in a Strap Match and earn himself a shot at the gold at Fortune & Glory next week. Duke will be looking to do the same here tonight and earn a shot at the tag team titles by defeating Pierre. Interestingly, Duke said he would challenge with a "partner of his choosing". Does that mean that he doesn't have his Lordship in mind? Who would Duke select as his partner? That could be irrelevant, as he'll have to get past Pierre The Enormous first and, considering how their last encounter ended, that will be no easy task.
(The polls will be open for at least 24 hours. It doesn't matter who you vote for, just that you participate!)
Next week, for the first time EVER, JWA Fortune & Glory will be coming to you live on pay per view in place of a standard edition of Glory. We listened to the fans and adjusted our schedule to make it easier for you all to enjoy the JWA action. Next week's event will be headlined by "Relentless" Conor Caine defending the JWA World Heavyweight Championship against "Lord" Taylor Thorin following last week's results. Caine was originally slated to defend against Chief Buffalo, but instead the big Chief will be squaring off against JWA newcomer Omega Satyros. We don't know much about Satyros, which is partly why he's booked against Buffalo at next week's event, but Omega is scheduled to be facing Willy Mammoth during tonight's broadcast, with the winner being allowed to set a stipulation for next week's match. I can only imagine what they'll come up with.
Also taking place at Fortune & Glory next week will be a Bungee Cord Match for the JWA Women's World Championship, as Winter Hex will defend against her rival Sakura Watanabe. Winter accidentally requested this stipulation and now will have to see it through if she wants to retain her title. We expect to hear from Winter, as well as Miss Jessie, and hopefully we'll hear from Daisy Turner and Sakura Watanabe as well in advance of this historic match.
The conditions have been set for next week - Tommy End and Red Pirate Rogers will meet in a Falls Count Anywhere match. After the No Escape Cage Match we thought perhaps their issues had been resolved, but alas these two combatants will go to war one more time at Fortune & Glory. Tommy End has attacked and hospitalized longtime associate of Rogers, Vinny Bambino, making this even more personal than it already was. Can these two avoid getting physical with their big match coming up in just one week's time?
That's all coming up next week. Right now we've got a big show in its own right. Get out there and work your gimmick!

*I lumber my way to the ring with Chesterton and Troglo and I motion for them to go to the back and they comply*
LeRay: Looks like he wants this to be a fair one on one
Beeman: Worst mistake of his life
LeRay: Kinda like when I took up this job and I have to sit next to you....
Beeman: .....

LeRay: And that song playing can only mean one thing, and that's the impending arrival of Duke Mongoose.
Beeman: You say that like it's a bad thing.
("Fatal Charm" by Billy Idol blares through the JWA Studio as Duke prances and struts his way to the ring amidst a sea of booing fans)
LeRay: What on Earth is Duke wearing this week?!?!
Beeman: I can't see clearly... OH! That's brilliant!
(In addition to Duke's usual garish ring attire, Duke is wearing a gas mask)
LeRay: Seriously, Beeman? A gas mask?
Beeman: Duke clearly hasn't forgotten how their last match ended.
LeRay: I doubt any of us will ever forget that one. At least Pierre is having a good belly laugh about it.
Beeman: He won't be laughing for long! Just wait until Duke slaps the Cobra Clutch on him!
LeRay: I can't wait to see him try. There's the bell and this match is underway!

*I reach my hand up high for a test of strength and Duke accepts.... but he quickly regrets it as I bend his fingers in ways that aren't meant to be bent*
LeRay: Sweet Jesus.....
Beeman: I can't watch....
*Duke is screaming in pain and I grin sadistically as I wrench his fingers back*

Wink: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to tonight's opening bout. This bout will be one-fall. Making his way to the ring first, from South London, WILLY MAMMOTH!
Mammoth struts down to the ring to a chorus of boos.
Wink: And his opponent, from the Hills of Arcadia, OMEGA SATYROS!
Omega rushes to the ring, clearly not wanting to waste any time. He immediately hits a takedown and begins pummeling his opponent as the bell rings.
LeRay: And the action is underway here tonight folks. And Omega is all business here after what happened this past weekend on Mania.
Beeman: Saw it happen live myself, this punk got a taste of what the business is really about, courtesy of Willy Mammoth.
LeRay: What the business is really about? He got attacked by a jilted ex-wrestler for no reason.
Beeman: Mammoth gave his reason for doing so, to oppose the crap that happened to his one time tag partner, Chief Buffalo.
Mammoth's size soon helps him gain control of the match, as he catches a punch, overpowers Omega, and chokeslams him over the top rope right to the floor.
LeRay: Oh, flat on the back Willy Mammoth smashed a chair over only a few nights ago.
Beeman: Maybe it knocked an ounce of sense into him.
Mammoth headed out of the ring as Omega staggered to his feet. He ran at Omega, being greeted by a stiff boot to the gut, followed by being slammed headfirst into the post. Omega rolls him into the ring before climbing the turnbuckle.
LeRay: This may be it folks, Omega's looking to hit the Satyr Sault.
Omega launches off, Mammoth bringing his knees up to counter the move. He tries to snag the pin. 1, 2, and a kick out by Omega.
Beeman: Not by a longshot. Mammoth is in control.
LeRay: I wouldn't count Omega out too soon if I were you Beeman.
Mammoth goes to hit the Wild Stampede, which Omega counters with a Satyr Kick. Omega goes for the pin. 1, 2, and Mammoth kicks out. Mammoth powders out to the floor. Omega goes for a suicide dive, getting smacked in the gut by a steel chair Mammoth grabbed from under the ring, something referee Jay Fairweather missed as it was mostly hidden from his view by Omega.
LeRay: How do you miss that ref?
Beeman: Mammoth is a smart veteran, he knows how to bend the match to his benefit.
Mammoth dragged Omega's prone body over to the announce table, sending him through the table with a chokeslam. The ref spots the chair at ringside and calls for the dq.
Beeman: What are you doing ref, everyone knows that going through the announce table isn't a DQ?!
LeRay: But that use of a chair is, and Mammoth apparently wasn't smart enough to hide his cheating.
Wink: And your winner of the match via disqualification, Omega Satyros!
Mammoth picks up Omega, hitting the Wild Stampede on him as Andromeda plays, fading to commercial, Beeman heard calling for ring crew to bring them a new table.

LeRay: Mongoose manages to get free of the test of strength, but his hands are definitely worse for wear.
Beeman: I’m still trying to block that image out of my mind, thank you.
LeRay: Pierre is laughing and urging Duke to try something.
Beeman: He’ll regret that.
LeRay: Duke shakes out his hands and now attempts to lift the big man, but I think he threw his back out!
Beeman: Laugh it up, you big dope!
LeRay: Pierre with a big clubbing blow to the back of Duke’s shoulders brings Mongoose to the mat!
Beeman: Duke can’t breathe in that mask! This isn’t fair!
LeRay: The mask was his idea!
Beeman: SO?!?!

Toni: I am here with Daisy Turner and the #1 Contender for the JWA Women's World Championship, Sakura Watanabe. Now Daisy I want to ask you how confident do you think Sakura Watanabe can walk out of Fortune & Glory the JWA Women's Champion?
Daisy: Toni. I am hella confident in Sakura. We have prove time after time after time that we can always one up Winter Hex. Now all we have to make sure is that Winter Hex doesn't resort to her cheap tricks. Because we all know that without that powdered snow you carry around. You wouldn't be the champion. And likely you wouldn't even be in JWA. I saw that match against Rhiannon. Which is why I have reached back to Rhiannon to challenge you at JWA Mania.
Toni: Well I'll do my best to catch up to Winter Hex and Miss Jessie, but other than that, Mick, Sean, back to you.

Prior to the opening bout, "Vonnegut Busy" by Sage Francis plays and the fans jump to their feet as Conor Caine makes his way through the curtain. He takes a moment at the entrance to salute his fans before heading to the ring where he raises the belt to a standing ovation. As his music fades, he calls for a mic.
CAINE: I underestimated you, "Lord" Taylor Thorin. It seems like for months now I've been chasing you down, trying to give you receipts for all the underhanded crap you've pulled on me, on my brother in arms Mack Caliber, and the rest of the JWA locker room... but every time, you escape the snare and manage to come back with more cheapshots and B.S! I've called for Lumberjack Matches and Strap Matches to try and force you into a clean fight, believing that if I can just beat you clean, you'll finally be put in your place. And that's where I messed up.
Caine takes a walk around the ring as he adjusts the belt over his shoulder. He stops again to face the hardcam.
CAINE: I never fully appreciated what you've been trying to show me allll along: you're not interested in doing things clean! You're dedicated to going over dirty! No matter what the restrictions, the limitations placed on you, you'll find some way to bend the rules. And, honestly? I respect your tenacity in that regard, if I can respect absolutely nothing else about you! You might be the most dangerous opponent I've faced yet, because unlike scumbags like even Duke Mongoose and Chief Buffalo, you have no integrity whatsoever, and I have no idea what you're going to do next to get ahead!
The fans boo Thorin as Caine takes a pause.
CAINE: But here's the thing, Thorin. It's been well proven that, in my past, I could get down and dirty with the nastiest of them: I can break bones, I can shorten careers... hell, I can end careers if I really let myself go. And while I'd pledged to turn a corner, while I swore I'd defend this title with integrity, you're one step shy of waking a beast in me that can't be satiated until it's tasted blood. Step lightly, Lord Silverspoon, because I won't be held responsible for what happens if you piss me off again. The ball is in your court. I'll see you next week in the Super Glory main event. Get ready... or get gone.
Caine drops the mic as his music hits. He climbs a turnbuckle and raises the JWA title as he jaw-jacks to the cheering fans.

(Duke struggles trying to get his arms in between Pierre's giant arms, but to no avail, so Duke just decides to gouge Pierre's eyes instead)
LeRay: I can't say I'm surprised that Duke is already breaking the rules.
Beeman: Between the gas mask and the bear hug I don't know how Duke didn't pass out. This is a life and death situation, Mick! Duke is just trying to stay alive!
LeRay: Duke hits the ropes and tries for the Running Neckbreaker Drop but Pierre is just too big and Duke bounces off of him! Pierre with a big stomp on the chest of the fallen Mongoose, and now Pierre is laughing as referee Tasha West makes a count...
*One...Two...Kickout*
LeRay: ...Duke escapes, but that was probably closer than anyone expected.
Beeman: A giant just stepped on his chest, Mick! I'd like to see YOU kick out before three after that!
LeRay: Fair point, Beeman. Pierre casually hits the ropes and goes for a big elbow drop but Mongoose manages to roll out of the way just in the nick of time!
Beeman: Go Duke! Now's your chance! He's down!
LeRay: Duke hits the ropes and comes back with a big splash! Cover but a powerful kickout by Pierre and he tosses Duke back up onto his feet!
Beeman: Well that was something. Keep at it, Duke!
LeRay: Pierre is still on the mat and Duke has mounted the turnbuckle - Falling Reverse Elbow Smash! Another cover by Duke and another powerful kickout by the giant! It looks like Pierre is favoring his midsection, however.
Beeman: Probably shouldn't have eaten so many chili dogs before the match! Everyone is going to be wishing they had Duke's gas mask if this keeps up!
LeRay: That's awful, Beeman.
Beeman: It's the truth!
LeRay: Mongoose now applies a stomach claw to Pierre! We've never seen this one before!
Beeman: Big Daddy Duke is digging deep tonight! He's going to make Pierre give up!

Post by "Lord" Taylor Thorin on Jul 19, 2023 6:59:30 GMT -5
Conor Caine's music is cut short as the "Haven't You Heard" kicks in and the fans cheers turn to vociferous boos as "Lord" Taylor Thorin walks out, Tembleberry in tow. Thorin has noticeable marks around his neck and a couple of bruises on his legs and arms can be seen.
Thorin has a clipboard with him with a couple of sheets of paper attached. All the camera can make out is the JWA and Fortune & Glory Logos. Tembleberry has a microphone, which he passes to Thorin, who in turn hands the clipboard to Tembleberry.
THORIN: (speaking in a slightly raspy voice) "Why am I not surprised you came out with excuses Mr Caine. Last week you tried to end me, yet you cry about the outcome? But regardless sunshine, next week I will end your reign as champion. Now to the matter at hand, I was extremely displeased...but not surprised...that you have yet to sign the contract to make our title match official! It just proves to me and to the world that you're all mouth..."
At this point, Tembleberry starts to walk down to the ring.
"...so to avoid any doubt, Tembleberry here has our contract for the main event next week. You, me, with the World Title on the line. Sign it now, or prove to the world exactly what I said all along. Talk is cheap Mr Caine."
Tembleberry climbs up the ring steps and cautiously steps into the ring where he hands the contract to Conor.

*I grab Duke's arm and in a moment of quick thinking (rare for a self admitted dumb giant) I begin wrenching it to get myself up*
Pierre: PUNY MAN..... *my stomach rumbles* heh heh.....
Duke: What's so funny....
Pierre: This..... *I chokeslam Duke, sit on his chest, and let one rip*
Duke: *somewhat affected* H-how.... I have the mask....
Pierre: Beans and Jalapenos....
Beeman: He's so vile....
LeRay: Duke asked for this....

(Duke rolls out under the ropes to the floor where he removes the gas mask and begins choking and gasping)
LeRay: Mongoose out on the floor looking for a break, but he had better be careful of the count out. Just last week we saw Duke lose to Suddenly Seymour via count out.
Beeman: Oh sure, kick a man when he's down.
LeRay: Duke makes it too easy sometimes. I can't help it.
(Duke climbs up on the apron and Pierre meets him. Duke grabs Pierre around the back of the head and drops off the apron, snapping Pierre's head off the top rope strand)
Beeman: Brilliant!
LeRay: The giant is stumbling back toward the center of the ring... he's down!
Beeman: Now we'll witness the Doctor of Debauchery operate!
LeRay: Duke scurries to the top rope and comes crashing down onto Pierre with a big splash! Duke hooks one of Pierre's tree trunk legs for the cover!
*One...Two......Kickout*
Beeman: He got him! Duke's getting a tag team title match!
LeRay: Not so fast, Beeman! Pierre managed to get a shoulder up at the last possible second! This match will continue!

*I see that Duke left the gas mask on the floor and I grin sadistically*
Duke: Don't do anything rash now.....
Pierre: *I bearhug Duke again and let out a deep belch*
Duke: Disgusting....
Beeman: I agree Duke....

Tembleberry climbs up the ring steps and cautiously steps into the ring where he hands the contract to Conor. Well that was relatively painless. Tembleberry nods and chuckles breathlessly as he takes the clipboard from Conor, but Conor doesn't let go. He has the mic in his hand again as he stares at Tembleberry, who's face slowly washes over with fear...Caine: You heard me say it, right? You heard me tell your boss not to do anything to piss me off between now and next week, right? Tembleberry looks frantically between Thorin and Caine.
Caine: It's okay, Trembleberries, it's a rhetorical question. I'm not gonna make you say something that'll get you in trouble with your employer. You're a working man just like the rest of us down here. But the fact remains, you heard me tell Lord Silverspoon up there not to rile me up or I'm gonna get nasty. And I know he heard it too: that's why he waited up there where it's safe... and sent you down here to me. Tembleberry starts to panic, but Caine lets go of the clipboard and grabs Tembleberry by the wrist. Conor turns his attention to Thorin.
Caine: You have the nerve to come out here and question my integrity?! You think I'm just all talk?? I told you what was gonna happen if you pissed me off again, and now you're gonna see that Conor Caine is a man of his word. This is on you, Thorin... Caine pulls Tembleberry in and hits Raising Caine. The fans errupt in cheers. Caine pops right back to his feet and stares up at Thorin, saying nothing. He picks Tembleberry up and whips him so hard into the ropes opposite the entrance that Tembleberry flies over the top like a Flair corner bump and lands next to the timekeepers table. Caine takes one last look at Thorin then he hits the ropes nearest the entrance, rebounds off them and charges towards the other side of the ring.
LeRay: Oh my God! A diving spear through the ropes! Conor Caine has just driven Tembleberry through the timekeepers table! Beeman: Get the medics!!! Caine stands up from the wreckage and turns his back on Tembleberry, who's being surrounded by officials, and climbs a ringpost, where he stands jaw-jacking at Thorin while motioning around his waist.
