( 80smania ) / The rise and probably fall of the MSMWWF

[bigbadbigelow]

Probably too old for this kind of s****, but found the love of wrestling back via AEW and the Heels series, I remember having installed and pretty well played this game. Told myself and I, that holding a e-federation in the long term would be quite funny. So we’ll see. My scenario is the following, the Mid-South Mid-West Wrestling Federation, which always has been a under the big guns/territory fed, just signed a deal with a big streaming company ( yeah in the 80's ...  ), the power that be, are doing an all-in on the product and offer several shows a week, and a PPV. For this federation of talents, this is a godsend. We'll see if we can run with the ball ( and the money ). 

At the moment, the main wrestlers of the fed are, theses guys : 

- The MSMWWF Champion : MEMPHIS PRINCE. Good friend with the owner, good friend with the president of the USA, The prince of wrestling rules this federation, like a prince, which he is. Remember, if you come at the king, you best not miss. 

- The Van Winkle Family : The sport of professional wrestling is the lifeblood of the Van Winkle brothers and their father, the legendary Fritz is making a mission to make them remember it. TERRY VAN WINKLE, the younger brother, is the TV Champion. 

- SUPER PLATOON : These three super soldiers never give up, they're always there, and fight for freedom over land and air! USA USA USA !

- The Rambling Men : Their distinct styles and personalities mesh perfectly in and out of the ring. These three attract enough attention everywhere they go to start a riot! They are DX from before DX. Girls love them. Men hate them. Children don't know who they are. 

- HIGH COMMAND : Cold, calculated, and concerned only with conquering, this trio always figures to bring some action! They want the world, they want the belts. 

- Toxic Terror : It took seven (very messy) tries to get there, but the mysterious Project: Mutant has finally produced the perfect mix of toxic ooze and barbaric pro wrestler! They don't work under contracts so who knows, if they will still be here next month, but be sure that they really don't like the federation champions : Wheelin Dealers. A duo, who travel from town to town collecting gold everywhere they go. These two will risk it all to strike it rich.

All-Right, LET'S GET TO RUMBLE. 

[bigbadbigelow]

- Superstar Saturday January 1985 ( TV Studio / Sold Out / 8.26 ) 

- Memphis Prince welcomes us, thanks the decision-makers for this opportunity, this new era and to allow the federation to be televised. He promises to be the champion of this new era, a champion who behaves like a hero, all that kind of blabla. But while he wants to stop talking, a music sounds and Buck Bronco, the old hardcore legend of the territories arrives, microphone in hand. He asks that he be silent, he does not want to hear that, this new era, the new bosses, the new world, he is the old world, the one who knocks, the one who bleeds. He explains that he will do everything to bring down this deal, and the first thing is to take the title of world champion.

- Soul Daddy b. Zap, in a tight match. *** 

- Warhawk b. Flawless, little surprise because Flawless was favorite. He seems depress. **

- We see a match form a few years ago, during a show that was filmed between two legends of the federation, Star Boy and The Piranha. For some it is the biggest match in history, at least in any case of the federation. After that game, the two wrestlers disappeared. No more news. Nowhere to see. *****

- Valley Girl b. Princess Starbright, by a roll-up. Thanks to this victory, she wins a match for the title against the same Princess.*** 

- TV Title : Terry Van Winkle ( c ) b. Brit Buckingham, with the Tornado Punch. After the match all the Van Winkle family comes to celebrate, as well as Memphis, we are entitled to fireworks and confetti. From the top of the ramp, which leads to the dressing room, we can see Buck Bronco looking at this with dismay ( and probably hate ). **

[bigbadbigelow]

- Sunday Night Slam January 1985 ( Casa del Lucha / Great Crowd / 13.91 ) 

- No Holds Barred Match : Buck Bronco b. Jobber Joe. The king of Hardcore shows why he got the crown, in this bloodbath ( not his blood by the way ). **

- Meanwhile, a video of a late show that went on a big TV channel was shown, where we see Memphis Prince and Princess Starbright advertising the federation. When asking about last show and the challenge of Buck Bronco, Memphis, finish the discussion with his catchphrase "When you come at the king, you best not miss". 

- Conquer & Command, Copper Commander & Iron Mask b. Mean Streets, Bo & Lee. **

- Meanwhile, the Rambling Men ask why they weren’t on the first show, since they’re the coolest thing in the federation. And the most dangerous. What’s the idea? People want audience. Audience = Rambling Men. Next time, call them. 

- Cruiser Title : Grand Manga (c)  b. Zombie Punk I. So yes, there are plenty of Zombie Punk, it will help for the title defenses. But if you have to keep something, it’s the grip and speed of Grand Manga. This Japanese wrestler is an innovator. A magician. Even a bird ? No, or like a big beautiful blue bird. ***

[bigbadbigelow]

- Weekend Wrasslin January 1985 ( Cattle Castle / Great Crowd / 13.63 ) 

- Memphis Prince is in the ring, with Honest Al, he explains that he accepted Buck Bronco’s challenge at next week’s PPV Super Duper Show, that he will fight not only for himself, but also for the fans, and for the federation. It will be a classic match, and not hardcore one, because he is a wrestler not a barbarian.Remember, if you come at the king, you best not miss.

- #1 Contender match : Conquer & Command, Copper Commander & Iron Mask b. American Heroes, Warhawk & Dangerzone. Ninja Shadow intervenes, allowing Conquer/Command to win. After the game, High Command members beat the Americans. Major Malice intervenes, US flag on the shoulder, and chases the bad guys.***

- The champs, Wheelin Dealers, come to show the belts and point the finger at the challengers. ( Not intended that it is a match heel vs heel at the PPV, but the results of the application, are what they are, it brings challenge in the stories, we will say ).

- Sexy Rebel b. Max Attack. ***

- Meanwhile, a video recap of the history of the Van Winkle Family est montré sur l'écran. There is a timing issue, since the video is launched during the celebration of Sexy Rebel and the Rambling Men. They are furious. 

- No Holds Barred Match : Buck Bronco b. Pat Cabbage. **

[bigbadbigelow]

- Super Duper Show January 1985 ( Mojito Beach / Sold Out / 12.88 ) 

- TV Title : Terry Van Winkle b. Soul Daddy. Open challenge on behalf of the champion. It is Soul, who responds and who despite a good performance, misses the mark. But we feel a big progression for this wrestler.**

- Instead of his music, the Rambling Men’s is played, one thumbs up at the previous show. The trio arrives on the ramp, and makes gestures at Terry, Sexy Rebel shows him the belt. This may be complicated for Terry in the near future.

- Toxic Affair b. Frat Boy Bullies, Johnny Kobra & Ruffian, with the Toxic Waste. 1,2,3. Done.* 

- Ninja Shadow b. Warhawk. Interventions from High Command and Super Platoon. Major Malice, while the referee is busy chatting with Cobalt Commander who wants to get inside the ring, does a good big powerbomb on Ninja Shadow, but Iron Mask, hit him with the body of the US flag, then he does the same with Warhawk, then place Ninja on it, Cobalt shows it to the referee, who counts. Ninja wins, but big deal. The war continues.***

- Ladies Title : Valley Girl b. Princess Starbright ( c ). We have a new champion. Despite a slightly disappointing match for these two wrestlers who have been fighting from federation to federation for years. **

- Meanwhile, we've got a video package who announces the next beginning of a new wrestler. We see a shadow, a massive man, limits an animal. We hear buffalo howls.

- Tag Team Title : Wheelin Dealers (c ) b. Conquer & Command, Copper Commander & Iron Mask. They're also big interventions in this one, again from Super Platoon and High Command. Toxic Affair comes to do the cleaning, and everything goes up to the locker room fighting. Meanwhile, Wheelin Dealers manage to place their finishing move. The title is retained. **

- World Title : Memphis Prince ( c ) b. Buck Bronco. Very good match, which curiously remains placed under the sign of  amateur wresting,  except for a moment, when the two wrestlers exchange such big shots, that Buck goes down for a chair, however he calms down and comes back to fight cleanly. It will be fatal to him, because on pure wrestling style, Memphis is on top. ***

[bigbadbigelow]

- Superstar Saturday February 1985 ( Cattle Castle / Great Crowd/ 10.57 )

- The Van Winkles, Devin & Terry b. Frat Boy Bullies, Johnny Kobra & Ruffian. After the game, instead of their music, the Rambling Men's one is played. We see the two brothers being angry, and talking together. **

- Max Attack b. Jobber Joe. What was supposed to be a jobber match, ends up in real good fight, the strikes are exchanged blows for strokes, as well as a big uppercuts series. The beginning of a rivalry ? In any case, Jobber Joe, seems to have it bad and refuses, the hand that Max hands him after the bout. ***

- Princess Starbright b. Kit Pistol ( debut ). *

- No Holds Barred Match : Buck Bronco b. Zap. It seems that Buck returned to his first love, because the match was TOTAL HARDCORE, during the game he faces camera several times screaming against Memphis Prince. Apparently the rivalry is not over, and something tells me that it will be much more violent, very soon.**

- And what exactly happens? Memphis Prince, who comes directly to the ring to make a face to face against Buck. We can hear him screaming, you like hardcore? All the officials and agents show up to separate them.

- Super Platoon, Major Malice, Warhawk & Dangerzone b. South Pacific, Haka Tonga, Sava'i & Tupu, with their new ending, the Full Metal Jacket. No intervention from High Command? Well, that’s a surprise. **

[bigbadbigelow]

- Sunday Night Slam February 1985 ( Casa del Lucha / Great Crowd / 10.44 )

- Mallet Allen b. Gepetto Rocco. Rocco is the veteran of the federation, a former amateur wrestling star, who have seen everything, but Mallet shows the muscles, and despite good resistance, the gap is too big. ***

- Meanwhile, we discover a video of Saturday’s show, where we see the High Command locker room having the door blocked, that’s what prevented them from intervening as usual in the Super Platoon game. Copper Commander was furious, and have broke everything in said room. 

- American Heroes, Warhawk & Dangerzone b. Pain Dealers, Big & Lil Thugges by DQ, when High Command intervenes, and decides to take revenge, the members of High Command uses their respective finishing moves on the American heroes. They take advantage of the absence of Major Malice, to completely decimate the members of Super Platoon. The public chant USA, USA, USA, but nothing makes it, the number is not there. **

- Meanwhile, The Thinker, the most recognized manager of the circuit introduces his new client Chief Buffalo, an absolute monster. He announces that this new wrestler will start in the ring during the next PPV, and promises a show, a destruction. Curiously, the public does not seem to be particularly convinced.

- TV Title : Terry Van Winkle ( c ) b. Cesar Sleeze. *

[bigbadbigelow]

- Weekend Wrasslin February 1985 ( Sound Stage Stadium / Great Crowd / 17.32 )

- The show opens with Major Malice in the ring, behind him the rest of Super Platoon, the American national anthem is played, and after, he explains that he is ashamed, ashamed of not having been there last week for his men, his soldiers, cowardly attacked by High Commander. But he will fix it, because this Sunday at Valentine’s Day Massacre, during the match between the factions, he will give everything, his sweat, his blood, his heart. He’s gonna give it his all, and he’s gonna take out Cobalt Commander and his crew once and for all.

- Toxic Affair b. American Heroes, Warhawk & Dangerzone. The two teams fought like hell, but while the American Heroes were in a good time, High Command arrived on the top of the ramp that leads to the ring, the Major run and fought with them, without thinking. The wrestlers in the ring, looking in that direction, didn’t see two masked men from the crowd, one of them clocked Warhawk with the US Flag, and then they left. The members of Toxic who didn’t see the thing, passed their finishing move. Then they went to help Major, to make High Command flee. What action, gentlemen, ladies. **

- Meanwhile, Memphis Prince, explains that he is tired of these stories of Buck, the hardcore legende, blabla, he wants hardcore, he will give him some. Sunday at the PPV, he accepts the hardcore match. If he have to get his hands dirty, he will do it, he will plunge into blood, and once again come out the winner, cause if you come at the king you best no miss. 

- Mallet Allen b. Drool. How can I describe Drool? Well.....  Allen takes advantage of his kindness, and bluffing him, he beats him with a small package. After the game, he takes the microphone, and mocks him. Princess Starbright, intervenes and slaps him. Valley Girl come to the ring, and attack Princess. Drool, stay there, watching, not knowing what to do, while Allen laughs. ***

- no1 cruiserweight title match : Max Attack b. Jobber Joe. Victory of Max, for this return match. Joe is still angry and there too, he refuses Max’s extended hand after the game. We even see him hesitate to return to the ring. ***

- - No Holds Barred Match : Buck Bronco b. Wing Chu. A massacre. Obviously street fighting -> karate. Wing is bleeding badly. After the game, Buck writes with Wing’s blood, the name of Memphis in the ring, then spits on it. I guess he’s not happy, right? In any case, this promises for the PPV. ***

[bigbadbigelow]

- Valentine's Day Massacre February 1985 ( Cattle Castle / Sold Out / 11.36 )

- Princess Starbright & Drool b. Mallet Allen & Valley Girl. Based on the last episode. The team of the duo Princess/ Drool shows beautiful things. Drool seems ultra protective of Princess. Valley Girl, she seems to be disgusted by the latter. ***

- Tag Team Title : Toxic Affair b.Wheelin Dealers (c ). In a match where curiously, the losers showed a wrestling demonstration. Mutant 8 and 9, win the belts with their finshing move, the Toxic Waste. **

- After much screams and noises, we find ourselves behind the scenes where we see Terry Van Wynkle on the ground, screaming in pain. He seems to have been attacked, but by whom? Clue : sunglasses are next to him, the ones of Sexy Rebel ? ****

- Super Platoon, Major Malice, Warhawk & Dangerzone b. High Command, Cooper Commander, Iron Mask & Ninja Shadow. As in an episode of G.I.Joe, the heroes win in the end. Great win for the US Team, but we feel that the rivalry is not over. Since a big fight broke out after the game. Cobalt, strangle Dangerzone with the American flag. What disrespect my friends. ****

- Chief Buffalo ( w. the Thinker ) b. Zap. the beginning of Buffalo, that the manager had introduced us as a monster. And indeed, it is. He destroys Zap. Boombox, intervenes to save his friend. Thinker prevents it from escalating.**

- Cruiser Title : Max Attack! b. Grand Manga (c). Big surprise with the victory of Max, who does not seem to believe in it. Manga hugs him at the end of the match, as well as Jobber Joe who comes to congratulate his friend despite the recent tensions between the two men. **

- Damon Van Wynkle is found live at the hospital where his brother was taken, who has a broken rib. They know who do it, and he knows that's the Rambling Men behind the attack. He promises revenge. Eye for eye. Rib for rib. **

- World Title : Buck Bronco b. Memphis Prince ( c ).Out of control. Bloodbath, and the return of the hardcore way in the federation that wanted to get away from it. This goes so far that the referee is forced to stop the match, and give the victory to Buck, because Memphis is passed out, in blood. Buck, finish the PPV with the belt high over his head, belt broken in two because it was used as a weapon, and belt where we see a tooth of Memphis on it. **

[bigbadbigelow]

Superstar Saturday March 1985 ( Mojito Beach/ Sold Out / 12.26 )

- The show begins with an exclusive video of the latest PPV. We see the new cruiserweight champion Max Attack! and Jobber Joe, coming out of the stadium, and it’s tense again. Joe takes the belt a moment to play with it, which annoys Max. That said, we cannot say that it is a hit with the public. *

- Soul Daddy b. Zap, in a qualification match for the March Madness tournament. A tournament that was announced for the PPV, where the best wrestlers of the federation will compete for a prize of 1,000,000. Zap is still badly hurt from his meeting with Chief Buffalo. Boombox, seems worried.***

- The new world champion Buck Bronco enters the ring, but before he can say anything, he is attacked by a man who arrives from the crowd. It's THUMPER MOORE, a former WW veteran wrestler. But what’s he doing here? ( Big flop, the public does not seem to know him ). DUD.

- Cooper Commander b. Dangerzone. Cooper arrives in the ring with the American flag, stolen from Super Platoon and with which he strangled Dangerzone. Besides, he does it again. That seems to have its effect, since Cooper is really booed. **

- #1 Contender match : Kit Pistol b. Princess Starbright ( w / Drool ). Victory thanks to an intervention of Valley Girl, Drool manages to scare her away but it distracts too much Princess, who is surprised. Kit will have a title match at the next show. **

- TV Title : Terry Van Winkle ( c ) ( w / Devin Van Winkle ) b. Cletus Mullet. Terry who left the hospital during the day has insisted to do this match booked in advance, he's well banged, bandages around the chest. Devin asks him to be careful throughout the match. He helps him, and allows his brother to win. At the end, again in place of the Van Winkle music, we hear that of the Rambling Men. At some point, they'll have to settle this on the ring. **

- We see a video that summarizes the defeat and loss of the title of Valley Girl. We also saw him behind the scenes, call someone on the phone, ask to come as soon as possible.

- It’s time for Mandonna’s shop, which receives the Rambling Man. They are eager to participate in March Madness, they say that the federation has been bullying them for a while, trying to push them down, but once in the ring, once one of them wins the tournament, only the sky can stop them. No, in fact even the sky cannot stop them, because there is no tomorrow in the country of rock n'roll. We note the t-shirt that wears Sexy Rebel has the head of Terry Von Winkle crying on it

- 1/4 : Devin Van Winkle b. Raunch Robbins. What a crazy match! The public is in full heat during this clash between the two wrestlers, which could have turned for any of the two. In the end, the two wrestlers exchange finishers, and at this game Devin is the winner. ****

- 1/4 : Average Guy b. Sexy Rebel. OH MY GOD! AVERAGE GUY IS THE WRESTLER INVITED TO THE TOURNAMENT!!! One of the most popular wrestler on the circuit. The crowd is in trance, and sings his name throughout the match.

- 1/2 : Damon Van Winkle ( w/Franz Van Winkle ) b. Chameleon Kid. ***

- 1/2 : Average Guy b. Devin Van Winkle. The fatigue of Devin who had a long and complicated match in the first round was a heavy handicap against a raging Average Guy, who places all his major moves.  The two men fell into their arms at the end of the match. ***

- World Title ( Hardcore Match ) : Buck Bronco b. Thumper Moore.Big bad fight between these two kings of hardcore matches. It bled, and it is the case to say it.
