Greetings, grapple fans!
Tonight's main event features Duke Mongoose going up against "The Debonair" Mack Caliber, and stems from comments made by Duke last week. Mongoose said that if he wants to make his way back into championship contention, he'll need to beat someone close to the champ. And who is closer to our current World Heavyweight Champion Winter Hex than Mack Caliber, a man who completely changed his identity to suit hers. The last time we saw Mack compete in the ring he fought to a draw with Bad Luck Bradley, so we know he'll be looking to get back to his winning ways. Duke is still reeling from a series of losses to Penguino, so he'll likely give Mack one hell of a fight. Who will come out on top? We don't have to wait long to find out!
(The polls will be open for at least 24 hours. It doesn't matter who you vote for, just that you participate!)
Last week the team of "The Closer" Omega Satyros & The Black Cat picked up a victory over Pierre The Enormous & Troglo, but Satyros gained some momentum heading into next week's World Tag Team Championship match alongside "Charismatic" Conor Caine when they take on The Pirates OF DOOM. Caine and Satyros have the title match to look forward to, but what is next for Killie's Crew? We expect to hear from the members of Domination Inc as well as Pierre and company during tonight's show.
Red Pirate Rogers leant his unique perspective to the show last week via JWA social media, but how are he and DOOM preparing for next week's title defense? We hope to get an update from the World Tag Team Champions.
With a victory over Lady Diana Gallus, Women's World Champion Daisy Turner must now turn her attention to whoever the next challenger for that title may be. Jessie Aldean has been training with Chief Buffalo and I'm sure that Lady Diana would love another crack at the champ as well. Still, one question remains - what happened to Artemis? And does Lady Diana know more than she's letting on?
"Lord" Taylor Thorin seemed to be more than a bit upset by Winter Hex's royal performance last week. How will his Lordship react to her behavior? And who left the bouquet of flowers outside of his private box?
Rodd Puttergill broke the news on Mania over the weekend, but the newest signing to JWA will be making his first appearance later tonight. I'm so exited for you all to see who it is.
And with that, let's get this show underway. Get out there and work your gimmick!

("Fatal Charm" by Billy Idol plays and as the music picks up Duke Mongoose burst through the curtain, to a somewhat mixed reaction. Duke struts his way down the aisle toward the ring)
LeRay: Well we've certainly got a "Bigger Bad" situation here tonight in our main event. Both men are decorated and capable, but the real intrigue lay in who the fans will get behind.
Beeman: It's been killing me since Kip made this one official. I can't pick sides in this one! Can't we all just get along?
LeRay: Duke wants a shot at the gold and he's going to try to take down the closest person to our champion, Winter Hex.
Beeman: Couldn't Duke have challenged Bruce The Butler? He's closer to Winter and nobody likes that guy.
(Duke gets into the ring and poses for the main camera, revealing a shirt that reads: "Mack is a Fancy Lad")
LeRay: That shirt is sure to ruffle a few feathers.
Beeman: I honestly doubt Penguino has any stake in Mack's feelings.
LeRay: I wasn't talking about literal feathers!
Beeman: How am I supposed to know that? I'm not a mind reader!
LeRay: We now await the arrival of The Debonair one himself, and whatever members of Domination Inc choose to accompany him.

Prior to the main event...
LERAY: Peter Dobrowski is in the ring, and we now await the arrival of JWA's newest future star.
BEEMAN: You're speaking pretty highly of a guy who hasn't even been on TV yet.
The lights dim. On the Jerkatron is displayed:
I. AM. UNDENIABLE.
Our Solemn Hour by Within Temptation begins to play.
Out from behind the curtain comes a mountain of a man, with a tattoo reading TM III across his left chest.
RING ANNOUNCER: This match will be decided in one fall. In the ring is Peter Dabrowski. Making his way to the ring, at 6'4" and 330 pounds, from The Dirty South, please welcome Thumper Moore, the 3rd!
LERAY: What an entrance for Thumper Moore III!
CROWD: THUM-PER. WOOP! WOOP! THUM-PER. WOOP! WOOP!
BEEMAN: The peons seem to know him.
LERAY: And you don't? This is a sensation, an incredibly athletic big man. He can do all the lucha things, and his power is unrivaled. Come on, Sean, can you feel it? Don't you want to just revel in his splendor?
BEEMAN: Let's see what he can do in the ring first.
LERAY: There's the bell and the JWA fans at ringside have not yet settled down. Collar and elbow tieup. Moore whips Dabrowski into the ropes, leapfrogs the smaller man, Moore runs across the ring at a 90 degree angle-- OH MY! A POUNCE! Dabrowski has flown from the middle of the ring through the second and third ropes! Moore runs to the opposite ropes-- TOPE CON HILO! And he lands on his feet, or Dabrowski would have been crushed under over 300 pounds of flying beef! The JWA fans are going nuts!
BEEMAN: He's not the biggest guy ever to do a dive. Calm down.
LERAY: Moore puts Dabrowski back in the ring by picking him up over his head and launching him between the second and third ropes like a lawn dart. My God, the power. Thumper rolls in. He picks up Dabrowski, sends him into the ropes-- Lifting Powerbomb! Dabrowski must've been nine feet in the air! He calls that move Sanctus Espiritus. And now, Dabrowski onto Moore's shoulders-- and over into a powerslam! Larger Than Life! One, two, three! Thumper Moore III is victorious in his JWA debut!
BEEMAN: What's he gonna do after he runs out of steam? A guy that big will be easily beaten by anybody with a shred of toughness and stamina.
LERAY: He's victorious today, Sean, and he's made quite an impression on me. We'll be back after this short break.

"Lord" Taylor Thorin Thorin and Tembleberry have arrived at the arena. Thorin does not look happy as they make their way to their private locker room.
As they get to the door, Thorin stops in his tracks. Attached to the door is an envelope, sealed with a wax stamp. Thorin removes the letter and opens it, before turning to Tembleberry, passing him the note...
THORIN: "Do you know anything about this?"
Tembleberry takes a moment to read the letter himself.
TEMBLEBERRY: "No sir...I shall look into it for you should you require?!"
THORIN: "Hmmm, leave it for now, we have other matters to sort..."
Thorin opens the door to the locker room and goes to step in before jumping backwards in shock. As the camera pans around, you see into the locker room, in which sits a large teddy bear, holding a rose and a box of expensive looking chocolates in a heart shaped box on the table in front of it.
THORIN: "Hmmm, maybe you should after all Tembleberry..."
The pair enter the room cautiously, Tembleberry stops before closing the door to look around outside, before closing the door behind them...

The love theme from Romeo and Juliet plays, and I sashay my way through the curtain. I have a microphone in my hand. I unfurl a small scroll, and as I open my mouth to read, the boos cascade. I attempt to read again, but the jeers get even louder. I then pretend to raise the microphone to my mouth, but instead drop it and the scroll and show the JWA fans that I think they are number one with both hands.
I gracefully enter the ring, and hold out my hand to Duke to signify my intent to win this match honorably, along with the hope that he will do the same.

OOC: Banger of a tune by the way. OOC: Thanks man! I figure Keith Lee has the Spirit Bomb, changing the name of the move to Sanctus Espiritus (Holy Spirit in Latin) wasn’t that big of a stretch and it gave me an excuse to use the song.😊 |

LERAY: He's victorious today, Sean, and he's made quite an impression on me. We'll be back after this short break.
Duke Mongoose (past prime and losing streak, Mack should take out tonight) Penguino (hasn't caused issue, but could try taking a crack at Winter's gold) Taylor Thorin (Mild thorn, pricked at Winter's Coronation)
Omega: So this guy shows up against the Hunters of Artemis 4 months ago, gets spun out by Total Malarkey, then waltzes back in here as if he owns the place and will take us down? Black Cat: What Desmond and Puttergill failed to mention 4 months ago was that Moore, at the time, was the longest reigning AOE Television Title holder. I know first hand how those pounces feel. Eliminated me from two different battle royals during my first stint there. He was probably thrown off on Mania by teaming with a trio of far past-their-prime geezers, only in that match because his grandfather was the only one of that group with the sense to retire. Omega: Fine, we'll keep an eye on him. Either way, Winter will handle whoever even considers stepping up to her at Fortune and Glory. The Pirates of DOOM will be well out of the picture by then, and frankly lucky if they're able to stand on their own two feet. |

Duke slaps my hand. Was that an acknowledgement or a rebuttal of my offer of honor? Regardless, as we circle each other, I pause and hold out my hands. I mime posing like bodybuilders. Duke raises an eyebrow, and without taking his eyes off me, he strikes a double biceps pose. The crowd boos. I chide the crowd, as clearly they must be blind or stupid. I then mimic Duke’s pose, and the crowd boos just as loudly. They obviously have no appreciation for two finely sculpted human beings.
Bruce the Butler runs to ringside with a microphone. I take it, thank him, and ask the sound guy to play some appropriate music, and ask the lighting guy to create a mood. The lights dim slightly and have a slightly red hue. A low, smooth bass underneath a wailing saxophone completes the effect, and Duke and I give the crowd what they don’t want, don’t deserve, but desperately need— the gift of the perfectly crafted male form.

LeRay: I'm not sure who paid the sound and lighting technicians, but tonight's episode of Glory has turned into an episode of WBF Bodystars!
Beeman: Impossible. Where's Gary Strydom?
LeRay: Both men are posing, much to the dismay of everyone in attendance. Wait, Mack is reaching into his pants...
Beeman: AVERT YOUR EYES!
LeRay: Thankfully he's simply produced a bottle of what appears to be oil. Mack pours some into his hand and applies it to his chest before offering it to Mongoose, who graciously accepts.
Beeman: This is getting a bit uncomfortable.
LeRay: I'm honestly surprised that Duke and Mack are getting on so well together considering - OH MY! Duke just sprayed the oil into Mack's eyes!
Beeman: Shouldn't that be a disqualification?
LeRay: You'd think. The crowd seems to approve, and Duke takes advantage by nailing Mack with a series of Mongolian Chops! He's got Mack down to one knee, and Duke applies the Ionian Nerve Grip!
Beeman: Are the fans... cheering?
LeRay: It would appear the fans have chosen to get behind Duke on this night, as bizarre as that sounds. Can Mack withstand this devastating hold?

I struggle to the ropes, upset that I didn’t think of the oil in the eyes first. Duke holds till four. Amateur. I would’ve held till five and beyond, knowing the ref isn’t gonna DQ me this early in a main event.
Bruce provides me a silk handkerchief and I wipe the oil out of my eyes. Duke and I circle each other, go for a collar and elbow tie up but I instead poke Duke in the eyes. Unfortunately, he has the same idea, and we both end up blinded for a moment. I swing at where I think Duke is. He does the same, and our forearms collide, causing us to both reel in pain. I kick at where I think he is… and again, great minds think alike. We connect with each other’s extreme lower abdomen, and both of us writhe on the ground, much to the delight of the fans.

Omega: So this guy shows up against the Hunters of Artemis 4 months ago, gets spun out by Total Malarkey, then waltzes back in here as if he owns the place and will take us down? OOC: Is this match from 4 months ago something you've written in the past, when Thumper Moore III was an NPC? If so, did you approach Thumper's handler* about writing this into his character's canon now that he's an active player, and no longer a NPC? *Sorry, how do we address you in OOC now - I'm having disassociative disroder calling you Arizona! 😂 |

LeRay: Both Caliber and Mongoose are using the ropes to help get back to their feet after the simultaneous errant low blows.
Beeman: Referee Jack LeBiggun is being EXTREMELY liberal with the rules in this one.
LeRay: With both men back on their feet, Duke goes for a clothesline but Mack ducks and heads to the ropes - flying shoulder tackle! Duke is back up but Mack with another! Duke gets back up but gets caught with a third! Duke looks to be all out of sorts and he swings wild but Mack ducks and goes for his signature Blue Thunder Bomb but Duke back rolls onto his feet behind Mack! Running Neckbreaker Drop!
Beeman: Of all the people I expected to athletically escape Mack's Blue Thunder, Big Daddy Duke was not high on my list. I'd even expect TM3 to pull that one off before Duke!
LeRay: This could be a mistake, as Duke decides to forego the cover and instead heads outside the ring and is chasing after Bruce The Butler!
Beeman: I told you no one likes that guy!
LeRay: Duke has a hold of Bruce and he's looking out at the fans who are cheering for him to give The Butler a beating.
Beeman: Duke had better keep his head on a swivel, since Caliber appears to be up and mad!
LeRay: Duke blasts Bruce with a Mongolian Chop! OH MY! Mack Caliber with a baseball slide dropkick sends Duke careening into the barricade!
Beeman: That's what Duke gets for listening to these fans.

Pierre: No need to apologize Trog
Troglo: *he gives me a hug*
Pierre: *I hug him back*
Huggy: What's next for us?
Pierre: I'm not really sure to be honest... I'm just taking it a day at a time...
Troglo: Where big friend go... Troglo go...
Pierre: *I grin at him*
Troglo: *grins back*
