It's the in-ring debut of The King of Games. What do we know about him? Very little. One week he's making an open challenge and the next week he's saying he refuses to fight. Very strange. We certainly know more about his opponent, one Thumper Moore III. Thumper has show to be exceptionally powerful, unexpectedly quick, and a threat to any title holder in JWA. These two collide in tonight's main event!
(The polls will be open for at least 24 hours. It doesn't matter who you vote for, just that you participate!)
Last week we witnessed the final nail in the coffin of Domination, Inc. and the rise of our new World Tag Team Champions, Divine Hubris. Indeed, it was the team of Omega Satyros and The Black Cat who claimed sole ownership of the titles in last week's handicap match against Conor Caine. While some might say that someone losing a 2 on 1 match isn't a shock, what was a shock last week was that once the bell sounded and the match was over, it was Red Pirate Rogers who came to Caine's aid. The pirate is no friend of Domination, Inc. so many fans are wondering just what exactly is going on. Perhaps Red is more forgiving than most, choosing to empathize with Caine rather than vilify him? Maybe we'll get some more insight during tonight's show.
Next week's main event will be a six-person preview battle for Guts & Gory, as the team of World Heavyweight Champion Duke Mongoose, Bayou Burl, and Artemis take on the team of Penguino, Slashmaster, and Lady Diana Gallus. It's certainly a strange bedfellows situation, but each team will need to work together to try to gain crucial momentum heading into the pay per view. Bayou Burl and Slashmaster are headed toward a Casket Match at Guts & Gory, while Artemis and Lady Diana will be facing off in a Shattered Mirror Match where the loser leaves JWA! And to top it off, Penguino challenges Duke Mongoose for the World Heavyweight Title! These six competitors get a chance to fire an early shot in their battles next week, and we hope to hear from them during this week's broadcast.
Chad Shredsbury is back, aloof as ever, and has announced himself as a competitor in this year's J-1 Pinnacle Tournament. Is he friend or foe to Pierre The Enormous, our current Openweight Champion? Pierre will also be competing in the J-1, along with a host of other major stars. More details to come in the coming weeks, with the tournament kicking off one week after Guts & Gory!
What, precisely, has gotten into Mack Caliber? A phantom of the opera mask? His sadistic behavior? Will he ever let us know? From what we've seen, anyone who stands across the ring from Caliber is going to be in danger.
Get out there and work your gimmick!

Post by The Greatest Wrestler OF DOOM on Oct 15, 2024 20:14:22 GMT -5
Barney Burrowitt stands in the ring with no music and little fanfare, of course. He pats himself behind his mullet onto the handprint emblazoned on the back of his vest as his name is announced.
Then “Accordion” hits and the Greatest Professional Wrestler of DOOM roars out from behind the curtain, frenetically start-stopping from one side of the stage to the other before adjusting his eye patch and b-lining it for the ring. He stops, naturally, to steal a soda that he puts down his throat and all over his singlet, before confusing to the ring, his cape whipping fan after fan in the face.
As his name is announced he takes a tripod position, winded from his mad dash. And as he does, Burrowitt capitalizes by putting the boots to the masked behemoth and referee Frank McCorrie calls for the bell.
Beeman: Great start by Barney. He’s a heck of an underrated athlete, I’ve got to say.
LeRay: We haven’t seen Burrowitt in months. And haven’t seen him win… maybe ever.
Beeman: DOOM’s a loser on a cold streak. Tonight could be Barney’s night.
And just like that, Burrowitt puts an elbow to DOOM’s head and turns to park himself on the back again. But DOOM grabs his arm and wrenches it. Barney howls in pain. DOOM grabs the mullet before him and whips Burrowitt into the corner and follows with an avalanche of DOOM! He… very…slowly…begins to… climb… the… ropes….
Beeman: What is happening here?
LeRay: The Greatest Professional Wrestler of DOOM appears to be climbing to the top for something?
Beeman: For what? Is there a hoagie on a pile up there that I don’t see?
LeRay: I have a bad feeling it’s something considerably more dangerous nefarious than that Sean. And it could spell DOOM for Barney Burrowitt!
After this dialogue DOOM is halfway up the buckle. There is a minute of silence that follows, other than his wheezing as he climbs to the top. Barney, sadly, still has not moved from the mat. And then DOOM leaps, but pretty much just drops from the top ropes onto Burrowitt, crushing him into the mat and causing the entire studio to tremble. McCorrie counts the three.
LeRay: An avalanche splash of DOOM for the win!!!
DOOM celebrates with glee after the win as medical staff come to check on Burrowitt.

That's where the king of games enters without introduction or anything
Leray: well it seems that the king of games did come for his fight but it is strange that the announcer does not introduce him
Beeman: I'm not surprised, actually the king of games has not given any information about himself, the only thing we know about him is his name and that he gave an open challenge and Thumper Moore was the one who accepted it but then the king of games games said he would not fight and now the king of games is here entering the ring.

“Our Solemn Hour” by Within Temptaion plays. The now familiar words appear on the big screen:
I. AM. UNDENIABLE.
LERAY: And here comes Thumper Moore III. He has a huge smile on his face.
BEEMAN: He looks like the cat who’s caught the canary. Perhaps he’s a bit overconfident as he approaches the ring.
LERAY: Perhaps, or maybe he’s just the right amount of confident as he rolls into the ring to face the debuting King of Games. Sean, what can you tell us about the newest member of the JWA roster?
BEEMAN: Well, look for yourself! Isn’t it obvious?
LERAY: Good point, Sean. Insightful commentary as always. There’s the bell and we’re underway. Thumper and the King circle each other. Thumper goes in for a lockup…

Beeman: It seems that the king of games dodges the lock and gives Thumper Moore a superkick that makes him fall to the ground and the king of games goes for the count but only reaches two
Leray: It seems that this fight will not end so quickly and the king of games knows it
The king of games: Come on, Moore, get up, where is that confidence from before? I say as I kick him in the face.

Post by Omega Satyros on Oct 15, 2024 23:19:50 GMT -5
Omega and Black Cat are sat in the old Domination Inc. Boardroom. The old plans for the group are faded on the white board, new names joining the list.
Duke Mongoose (Winter lost)
Penguino (Prefered Champion to Duke)
Taylor Thorin (Never bothered, seems to be retired)
Conor Caine (Dead Man Walking, Guts and Gory)
Thumper Moore (wants to fight, lazy about finding partner)
Mack Caliber (loose cannon, inconsistent behavior from one week to the next, want to support, but can't relied on)
Omega sighs at the crumbled remains of what should've been the greatest stable in JWA history. He hears a scoff at the door.
Diablo: I warned you. You can have all the fanciful delusions of grandeur you want, but it can never last.
Omega: Shut it. I already put your ass out to pasture six months ago. I'm done with you, so take whatever platitudes you want to spout and leave.
Diablo: You can try to act all high and mighty, lord knows I did. But I can see how unhappy this all makes you. You built something up, just to watch it get torn away. I warned you this is going to be a lonely path. You haven't been in Killie's in six months. Every friend you've made in your time here can't stand your existence. You have some gold, but at what cost?
Omega: I said leave. What good are friends who only give a damn about you when your placating their empty morals or massive egos. You, Red, Arizona, Troglo, Pierre...
His voice trembles a bit.
Omega: ...Conor. Every single one of you have done the same thing. You looked at me as a tool for your egos. Only one person in this damn company looks at me and sees me, not their vapid egos, not their moralistic superiority complex. So don't you dare stand there and act like I've done anything less than give each and every one of you exactly the treatment you deserve. Now leave.
Diablo: This path is going to break you. I can already see it. The only person willing to stand by you is Black Cat, but what happens when the gold fades? What happens when the title comes up? The OverKnights never thought they'd break up...
Black Cat: Shut up. You walk in here acting like you know his destiny. You don't know crap. You want to be right, so you're trying to instigate the downfall that would prove you right. It's not going to work. What me and Omega have is deeper than whatever petty bs you want to proclaim.
Diablo shurgs and moves to leave.
Diablo: Don't say I didn't warn you.
Omega's hear enough. He lays out Diablo with a Satyr Kick and storms off, followed by Black Cat.

beeman: the king of games now lifts thumper moore for a ddt but thumper moore reverses it and suplexes the king of games
Leyrae: It seems that this fight will be pure keys and beeman movements
beeman: that seems like leyrae but look the king of games gets up and sends thumper moore to the corner and hits him hard
the king of games: come on moore that's all while I continue hitting his face and then I do a suplex making thumper stay on the ground while I get on the corner to do a moosaul

Post by “The Relentless” Conor Caine on Oct 16, 2024 0:21:39 GMT -5
After the show’s opening we cut backstage where Toni Cruz is waiting in a corridor. Conor Caine arrives, dressed in streetwear (no longer sporting the gaudy shirts and jewellery), and Toni approaches him.
CRUZ: Conor, you came up short last week in your attempt to keep the tag belts off Divine Hubris. What’s next?
CAINE: Hey Toni… yeah, last week was a tall order but I felt I had to go out there on my own two and show the JWA and our fans that I’m genuine about taking responsibility for what I did and making amends. I might not have had much chance against Sivine Hubris but I don’t just fight when I have the advantage - that’s not my way - but I did have a chance… until Mack Caliber showed up.
CRUZ: Are you looking for retribution?
CAINE: It’s complicated, Toni. Mack is… look, I’d rather just direct my thoughts at Mack, and I’m going to do that in the ring.
Conor walks off, Toni calls after him…
CRUZ: We saw you perform Raising Caine in your match last week, for the first time in months! Is The Relentless One back? Conor?
The segment fades out.

Post by Duke Mongoose on Oct 16, 2024 6:40:17 GMT -5
(Honest Sal is standing in the parking lot)
Sal: Fans, we were scheduled to have an interview with World Heavyweight Champion Duke Mongoose this week, but he has yet to arrive at the building. We're going to stay here in the parking lot until he shows up-
(A messenger comes into frame and hands Sal a large envelope. Sal signs for it and the messenger leaves. Sal opens the envelope)
Sal: It appears we've received a certified letter from our champion: "Dear Sally Boy, I'm in the broom closet"
(Sal wads up the letter and tosses it in the trash as he and the camera walk toward the JWA broom closet. Sal knocks on the door, which opens a crack)
Duke: Sal? Sally Boy? Is that you?
Sal: Yes, Duke, it's me. What are you doing hiding in this closet? We're supposed to be having an interview right now.
Duke: Whistler put me in a tag match against Slashmaster next week, so I'm trying to avoid crossing his path this week. I know he's preoccupied with Bayou Burl but I still don't want to take any chances.
Sal: You're also facing Lady Diana Gallus and your challenger for Guts & Gory Penguino.
Duke: GARDERMIT, SAL! Don't you think I know that? Big Daddy Duke has no qualms with the Lady Gallus. As far as I'm concerned I hope she and Artemis settle their differences and move on. As for Penguino, I'm sure you and everyone will point out that I've struggled against him in the past. Well, that was the PAST, Sal! I'm a new man!
Sal: A new man who hides in the closet from a scarier man. Don't forget that Penguino is a former Openweight champion now, so he's a new bird as well.
Duke: CONSARNIT, SAL! It's about time that Penguino starts THANKING me for pulling him out of obscurity and making him my tag team partner. What was Penguino doing before Big Daddy Duke and the Forever Champs? Nothing! So Penguino can publicly thank me for making him relevant whenever he wants. And I'm going to give him his last chance at relevance at Guts & Gory when I beat him to retain my title and finally prove that I am the real forever champ!
Sal: Best of luck in your match next week, and at Guts & Gory.
Duke: Thanks, Sal. By the way, don't tell anyone I'm here.
Sal: We're live, pal.
Duke: OH NO!
(Duke slams the broom closet door. Suddenly the lights flicker)
Sal: Did it just get chilly out here? Weird. Mick and Sean, back to you!

Beeman: It seems that the king of games dodges the lock and gives Thumper Moore a superkick that makes him fall to the ground and the king of games goes for the count but only reaches two Leray: It seems that this fight will not end so quickly and the king of games knows it The king of games: Come on, Moore, get up, where is that confidence from before? I say as I kick him in the face. LERAY: Thumper catches the boot of the King of Games in his hands and the smile is gone, replaced by a scowl. He regains his feet while maintaining control of the foot— oh my! An enzuigiri to the back of Moore’s head! What agility from the King of Games! BEEMAN: I’m starting to not like either of these guys. LERAY: How can you say that Sean? Thumper is staggered and stumbles into the corner. The King moves in and lands a strike to the massive chest of Moore— Moore responds by grabbing the King and throwing him across the ring! What a Beal throw— King of Games had to be almost ten feet in the air before crashing back down to the mat. BEEMAN: I don’t care who you are— if your opponent can do THAT to you, it has to make you reconsider the life decisions that have led you to this point. LERAY: Thumper stomps across the ring and grabs the King of Games, angrily pulling him to his feet. He drags him to the middle of the ring— my God, Moore is going to Beal toss him all the way to the concrete floor! Moore tosses his opponent again— almost ten feet in the air— King of Games lands feet first on the top rope and jumps back toward Thumper— missile dropkick! That’s an amazing counter! Thumper doesn’t go down, but he staggers back into the corner again— he’s as stunned as we are! I’ve never seen anything like that! |

"Cheat Code" by Sage Francis plays and Conor Caine makes his way to the ring to a mixed reaction from the crowd.
LERAY: The JWA audience seems split on their opinions of Conor Caine.
BEEMAN: Well I still hear a healthy amount of "Cheater" chants, which means some of these idiots still remember how Caine manipulated the other members of Domination Inc!
Conor gets in the ring and calls for a mic while his music, and the audience noise, fades...
CAINE: I know a lot of you aren't happy to see me here tonight, and I get it, but I don't think I'd be here at all without the intervention of Red Pirate Rogers last week. Of all the people I've wronged since my return, Red is the one guy who should be happy to see me catch a beatdown, but twice he's stepped in to save my ass. I don't deserve it, but I'm grateful to you Captain.
A Thank You Rogers chant breaks out and Conor waits for it to fade.
CAINE: And now down to business. I might not have succeeded in keeping the tag titles off Divine Hubris last week but any chance I did have was taken away when Mack Caliber jumped in the mix and forced my match into a 2 on 1 and a one-on-tag match.
Boos break out in the crowd, but it's hard to tell who they're for!
CAINE: Mack, I haven't been ignoring what you've been going through of late. As a matter of fact, I've been wanting to do this for a while: I want to talk you down from whatever ledge you're on right now. I don't blame you for attacking me, I don't blame you for interfering last week, I'm not mad at you at all... I'm worried about you.
Stunned silence from the fans.
CAINE: You and I have gone through the wars, brother, both against each other and together - in Domination Inc and when we tagged together in Relentless Aggression. I have so much respect for you. Too much respect to let you continue to question yourself like you are. I won't sugar coat it, Domination Inc is over, but this isn't the end for you. There's a way back from this, and I'll do what I can to help you. If you're interested, come find me.
Conor drops the mic and makes his way out of the ring.

beeman: the king of games continues hitting thumper hard but it seems that thumper doesn't even mind the blows and now thumper grabs the king of games for a powerbomb but the king of games gets out and gives thumper another superkick
leray: please the king of games doesn't know how to do anything other than superkick
king of games: I give Thumper Moore another superkick that makes him fall and then I grab him by the legs for a submission hold
Beeman: Well, Leray, that answers your question about the king of games.
Leray: It's not that impressive, really.
the king of games: to hear that I decide to release my grip and lift thumper to make an f5 to thumper moore and then I put him in the corner to make my game over move
Beeman: Now you're going to tell me that you ever saw a submission move in the corner?
Leray: Well, not really, and to be honest, I don't think either Thumper Moore

An unfamiliar regal composition plays, no title card. A figure appears in an ornate hooded robe. Curiosity and anticipation silence the crowd and announcers. The figure enters ring and and calls out in a powerful voice, "Welcome, my subjects" she lowers her hood.
LeRay: It can't be! But it is! Queen Amana!
Beeman: But she's retired, what could possibly be the reason she's "lowering herself" to appear on national programming.
Amana: I know my presence here is unexpected. But circumstances have become unexpected. Two of my brightest pupils are about to go to war. And while one will continue to shine, the other will burn out. I see no greater reason to grace the JWA than to serve as the special enforcer for their war. As this battle plays out, you will see why I chose them as my Ladies in Waiting, and at Guts and Gory, one of them will officially ascend to the throne, with the J-1 Pinnacle serving as their coronation. The Queen is here, and my subjects will enjoy the show.
