What good NWL? My name is Dwane Peterson and my NWL tour was in 2019-2020. Like many of you I had never heard of wrestling by mail. I saw an ad in Pro Wrestling Illustrated and decided I had nothing to lose. I am glad I did. I struggled at first. Got super cockywhen I went 10-0 in my first cycle. (I didn’t realize they were almost automatic wins.)
I struggled for a few cycles trying to understand the strategy system, how to approach trash talk and how to look forward not just at the current bulletin. I reached out to the NWL Commissioner and he was able to really help guide me in not only game play, but how to develop a character that others would want to associate with. My trash talk got better, my scores got better and my results got better. In one cycle, I won the NWL League title, the Young Lions title, the Money in the Bank match and went 90-0. I was excited to say the least.
If I were to offer you any advice it would be this, learn how to play off other players. You will always run into players simple looking out for themselves and just looking for the perfect strat. For me it was the interaction with other players that made my NWL time so enjoyable. Look at the trash talk of other players and find a way to write yourself into their storylines. Put out trash talk for other players to play off of. No one like the just attacks eveyyrone and talks crap about everyone.
I will always be in the IWA, so be sure to look out for my stable of Black Arrow Vengeance wrestlers across the game. Fik- Shun, Nas-X, The Black Prince, Ms. Truth, Dantzler and Khyree . Who knows, maybe we’ll have a great rivalry down the road somewhere!
Finally, enjoy your time in the NWL. Don’t be in a hurry to leave, you’ll have plenty of time to make your mark in the IWAR or other IWA leagues. Don’t forget, HAVE FUN! See you down the road superstars.

Next cycle, the Teamster will reveal more details about the Teamster Challenge.
It’s a contest where the Teamster will pick one NWL superstar to be the Designated Partner (DP) for the Teamster Challenge and then the NWL Roster will have a chance to team up with the DP and if they win either of the NWL tag team titles together, then the Wrestler’s Player will earn the Free matches in the Teamster Challenge pool.
The Teamster Challenge Prize Pool starts with 5 Free NWL Matches and each cycle that the Teamster Challenge is not won, the prize pool will go by as many matches that were sent in for the challenge. (so if three tag matches are signed in a cycle, and no one wins, then the Prize Pool will go up by 3 free matches. If no one signs any matches then the Teamster Challenge will remain unchanged.
The more players who send in matches, the bigger the Teamster Challenge prize pool will become.
The Teamster will reveal the identity of the DP at Clash of Champions #20 so be on the look out for the big reveal! [Dan Dee spots U.S. Mayle pushing a mail bin on wheels that is full of an assortment of package. Dan stops to interview him.]
Dapper Dan Dee: What is with all these packages?
U.S. Mayle: Dan my time in the NWL is coming to an end and soon I’ll be drafted to either the BRL or the IWL as part of the IWAR Draft. My year here has been full of ups and downs, but in the end, there was never any doubt who the best looking, sexiest man in the NWL was, yours truly.
Dapper Dan Dee: You made a number of enemies too.
U.S. Mayle: Everyone is jealous of me. I’m a better in the ring, on the mic and (winks at the camera) better in bed. Just ask Aunt Betsy, that cougar may have some miles on her, but there’s still tread on the tires. Lonestar Redneck, is still Texas trash and always will be. I beat him at Futurescape and put an end to his dreams of winning the Young Lions title.
Takes Dan Dee to Grady Farm, Dapper Dan Dee: Then Rhett Grady did that to you. chased away by Aunt Betsy! U.S. Mayle: The Country Hamburger belongs in a mental institution! He may have won that round, but the Grady Boys will pay in the end. Mark my words, the Grady’s will lose it all!
Dapper Dan Dee: What does that mean?
U.S. Mayle: It means that the $yndicate will be just fine, but the Grady Family won’t! It’s just too bad, I won’t be here. Forms stable w/Jack Ferdinand Dapper Dan Dee: Why are these boxes post marked all over the world?
U.S. Mayle: These boxes have boots, ring gear and other items, all signed by U.S. Mayle and they’ll be going to a better place.
Dapper Dan Dee: Wow, that’s actually kind of sweet. Sending The Mayle Call autographed boots to fans all over the world? Wha Rhett Grady (disgusting ugly hick) Lonestar Redneck (restraining order issued!) U.S. Mayle: Well, none of this stuff is mine. (holds up a pair of Lance Spider Williams (sent him running to IWL) Atom Drake (ended his career with CTE) Horowitz boots, Fighter X’s mask and other items from other NWL stars ) Dan Sovereign (beat up his #1 fan, he fled) I hate just about every one of the jerks on this roster. So while they are Durge the Executioner (ran away) all out there in the Battle Royal right now, I went in, took their ring gear and (holds up Zydrate’s vest, spits on it, then stuffs it into a box and tapes it closed .) You losers can have a good time fighting over thirty grand, but guess what dumb ol’ Warpath Wolf Keenan got a check for $30g’s because he won the last Battle Royal and (holds it the check to Wolf and slides it into an envelope that reads “Ric Flair Defense Fund.”) The Total Package is setting his sights on the big time. The fans of the NWL suck. You suck Dan! Good luck finding your spare tuxedo! (Dan’s eyes go Durge destroyed the Mayle Truck wide) Don’t mess with me Dan, I know where you live!
Whoop A$$ Inc
Well Hello NWL this is your current East Coast Champion speaking and what I would like to have is the attention of all the ladies.
Now you boys can pretend its any other night besides date night and talk amongst yourselves while I talk to all these beautiful ladies here in the NWL
Ladies…What are you two doing? I have been observing from a far for a little bit, biding my time to make my presence felt here and I was hoping to find some inspiration with you, but all I have seen is two females living in the shadows of the men in their lives.
Shilo Wallace - Girl I enjoyed seeing you step up to the plate this month and take the Southeast Title from that skeezy Stevie Vertigo, but I have to ask. Why do you always seem like a support member to your brother Zydrate? Of course you are the strong one that has to keep all that testosterone in check and those other two focused, but you are an incredible athlete and you showed it by taking the gold this month. Lets see some more of that soon. Let those two boys sword fight whom ever they want. You rise up and be that star you were born to be.
Now I want too talk to that cute little cowgirl Aria Gunpowder. Girl those chaps look super sexy on you and that little cowgirl hat with your little dimples. You are just cute as a button, but you and I locked horns last cycle and there is a lot more to you than just a sexy pair of chaps and set of dimples. You are about as tough as they come and I would hate to see you play second fiddle to those two boys on your ranch. You have the makings of being a true star here and I want nothing more than for us ladies to not just be arm candy or after thoughts. I could have went out and joined one of the ladies leagues in the IWA but I don’t want to be pigeon hold into a womens division and be segregated even more. I want to see us ladies be more than a mouth piece for some man around here (Like Queen Kayla) This is a male dominated sport and I don’t want to dominate the womens side of it. I want to dominate all of it. That big sack of crap WAZ thought he was gonna have an easy night when my music hit and he saw little ole me walk out from behind that curtain, but less than 30 minutes later I was walking out with his gold and leaving him looking at the referee wondering what in the hell just happened.
Now ladies I know we are all involved with our little groups and I am not saying that we need to abandon those efforts or turn our backs on the guys we are here with, but there needs to be a revolution here in the NWL and its time we women were heard and it s time we were in the conversation for all this fame and fortune. I have won a lot of respect in far away lands and won a lot of gold on the independent circuits and now I am ready to make an impact here in the NWL.
Ladies I will see you soon and when I reach out my hand for assistance don’t be afraid to take it. Let’s show these stupid boys what we are capable of
Speaking of stupid boys… I guess I will give Johnny Aztec his 5 seconds of fame and return the favor by throwing his name into my promo. What’s the matter Johnny? Did you get upset that a woman had the audacity to challenge you in a match? Did it ruin your tough guy image when I nearly beat you? How did you feel when I lasted longer than you in the Battle Royal? Did it hurt your poor little ego EL JEFFE? When it comes to being “THE BOSS” I am afraid you are coming up a little lackluster and maybe not as in charge as you think you are but I tell you what? I have some gold around my waist. Come and take it from me. You do that and I will call you El Jeffe otherwise I am going to refer to you as “ el mandadero”

(Zydrate & Nivek Largo) vs. THE $YNDICATE (Toa Anoa & Samoan Assassin) w/’Queen’ Kyla (Winners face off at Clash 20 for the Young Lions Tag-Team Championship) The Teamster: These are two of the top teams in the NWL! The ‘future faces’ of the IWAR Zydrate and Nivek Largo take on former NWL tag-team champions The $yndicate. Nivek starts against Toa, who’s quickness initially proves too much, until Largo hits a powerslam. In comes Zydrate who misses a clothesline, allowing a tag to Samoan Assassin. Assassin hits an Oklahoma Stampede on Zydrate, but only gets the 2 count. ‘Queen’ Kyla protests the ‘slow’ count, distracting the ref, while Toa Anoa throws some brass knucks to Assassin. An enraged Largo hits Assassin with a spear, before taking out Toa. Zydrate hits the Surgical Strike for the 3. [GC-506, $YN-492]
HC TITLE #2 CONTENDER MATCH: CALIFORNIA GUNSLINGER vs. LANCE HOROWITZ vs. COL. DOOM (Winner faces Nivek Largo (c) & Mic Ferrari at Clash 20) Hugh Jass: I smell ‘match of the year’ candidate! These three are hungry to add to their NWL accolades. Col. Doom is the initial target, as C.G. and Lance nail the former NWL League Champion with stiff rights. Gunslinger hits a backbreaker, before Lance drops a stiff right elbow. Lance goes for the pin, but C.G. breaks it up. Lance and C.G. brawl, and spill to the floor. Lance grabs a chair and hammers Gunslinger in the spine! Doom interjects with a flying cross body on Lance! Doom then reaches into the crowd and steals a cane from an elderly woman! Doom nails Lance! Gunslinger uses a trash can lid to smoke Doom in the dome! Gunslinger rolls Doom onto the announcers table, and lookout he’s going for Slingin’ For The Fences! But Doom hits a low-blow! Doom hits his infamous PILEDRIVER through the table! 1…2…3!! [CD-495, LH-489, CG-492]
NEWCOMER 6-MAN!!! (Interrupted by Gonna Get Got Scott & EVIL) Dapper Dan Dee: Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m here with the team of El Jefe, Blind Fury and TIE: Beastmaster. You three have a BIG opportunity tonight, how are you approaching this match?
(**Before they can answer, Colossus obliterates all three men. Chief Logan enters and they lay a beatdown on the competitors. Gonna Get Got Scott appears in a trench coat and his wrestling gear. He crouches beside El Jefe…**)
GGG Scott: The sacrificial lambs, sent to the wolves to be slaughtered. You’ll find peace in knowing that your sacrifice wasn’t in VEIN.
(**EVIL make their way to the ring, and GGG Scott grabs the microphone…**)
GGG Scott: (**Frantic boos from the crowd**) It seems as though there was a little MISHAP in the back. But I mean, The Teamster didn’t think he could keep EVIL off the card completely?! So if there’s anyone looking to be another SACRIFICE at the hands of EVIL, NOW is your chance at MARTYRDOM.
(**After a few moments of silence, the theme music of
Hugh Jass: This is quite the development! Willy Pinnem is in the ring, and he calls for the bell! This is a SANCTIONED NWL match! Scott starts with Nick Dane, who sends him off the ropes and hits a gravity-defying dropkick! Dane tags in Kinkaid, who goes for a tornado DDT, but Scott hits a northern lights suplex. Scott tags Colossus, who hits some clubbing blows. Colossus goes for a choke slam, but Kinkaid nails him with a boot. Kinkaid tags in Wolf Keenan, while Chief Logan tags himself in, slapping Colossus on the back. Logan and Keenan have a technical exchange. Logan maneuvers Keenan into an abdominal stretch, but Keenan hits a hip toss. Scott charges in but is hit with a back body drop. All six men are in the ring, and somewhere in the fracas Nick Dane is tagged in. From a seemingly impossible angle, he hits the 3 Second Magic, and pins Chief Logan! After the match, the untamed beast Colossus lays waste to HNR…he seems to want to go further with the beatdown, but Scott lures him up the ramp. If Scott has come into stronger powers, this is not good for the NWL. [HNR-514, EVIL-512]
ROD CAMINO & DAVE THE DECISION vs. RIOT SQUAD (Traditional & General Warlock) (Winners face off at Clash 20 for the Young Lions Tag-Team Championship) The Teamster: Rod and Dave clearly have something to prove here! They are no-nonsense as they hit the ring! Dave actually throws away his cigarette BEFORE the match! Rod and Dave lay a beating on Riot Squad before Warlock is tossed out. Rod hits a neck breaker on Traditional, before schmoozing with some ladies in the crowd. Rod tags Dave, who uses clubbing axe handle smashes. Traditional takes advantage of Dave’s years of hard drinking and heavy smoking, to hit some elbows to the mid-section and make a tag to Warlock. Dave shakes off the years of substance abuse and tosses Warlock into the corner. Dave tags Rod, and they hit the Waxed ‘N Vaxed for the win. Suddenly ’17 Girls at Once’ by Steel Panther hits the PA, and the NWL Tag-Team Champions Mic Ferrari and Sam Hain enter. The four men have a stare-down, Mic and Sam holding their titles high. The fans are CLAMOURING to see this showdown!!! [ROD & DAVE 508]
MIKE DYNASTY vs. RHETT GRADY (Willowick Classic Semi-Final #1 Winner enters Futurescape Main Event for Chance at Young Lions Championship Match at Clash 20) Hugh Jass: The tension is high here, as two rising stars face off! Mike Dynasty enters with the ‘Love Box’ in tow. Rhett bursts through the curtain and makes a b-line for the ring, trading stiff blows with Dynasty. Dynasty hits an atomic drop and a clothesline. Dynasty throws Rhett into the corner but misses a flying elbow. Rhett hits stiff strikes, followed by a big running boot. Dynasty rolls out but Rhett is in hot pursuit. Dynasty grabs the Love Box, and takes a swing, but Rhett ducks and follows with a spinebuster. Rhett rolls Mike in, but Mike grabs the ref, and hits a low blow on Rhett. Mike goes for the …And Justice for All, but Rhett maneuvers and sinches the Pig Splitter! It’s locked in! Dynasty is about to tap…but another low blow! The ref calls for the bell, and Dynasty has been DQ’d! Dynasty is grabbing the Love Box and starts hammering the Country Hammer! Here comes Rowe Grady to chase off Mike Dynasty! How will Rhett fare in tonight’s main event?!?!
US MAYLE vs. LONESTAR REDNECK (Willowick Classic Semi-Final #2 Winner enters Futurescape Main Event for Chance at Young Lions Championship Match at Clash 20) Dapper Dan Dee: This is one of the more ‘under the radar’ feuds so far. Redneck enters, but here comes US Mayle! Mayle takes a swing with the ‘Social Distancing Stick’, but it seems like Redneck telegraphed the move! Redneck ducks and hits a boot, followed by a DDT on the ramp. It’s clear there is some bad blood here, as Redneck take to absolutely obliterating Mayle off the barriers on either side of the ramp. The bell hasn’t even rung, as Redneck goes to toss Mayle into the ring steps. But Mayle reverses the move and sends Redneck knees-first. Redneck is out, as Mayle rolls into the ring and the bell sounds. Mayle asks the ref to start the 10 count! Redneck breaks the count at 8, and rolls in. Mayle proceeds to stomp Redneck, before hitting a flapjack. Mayle locks in the Camel Clutch and starts yelling ‘mail people are people too!’ Redneck feeds off the crowd, lifts Mayle, and runs him into the turnbuckle. Redneck stomps a mudhole into Mayle’s posterior, before flipping him off and stomping more. With the ref reprimanding Redneck, Mayle is able to remove the top turnbuckle pad. Redneck approaches, and Mayle sends him face first into the exposed turnbuckle. Mayle hits the ‘Special Delivery’ for the pin…
FIGHTER X vs. STEVIE VERTIGO (w/’Queen’ Kyla) ($25,000 Challenge) Dapper Dan Dee: This one has been simmering for a while, and now Young Lions Champion Stevie Vertigo will go head-to-head with Fighter X, with $25,000 at stake! This IS a NON-TITLE match. Stevie starts off avoiding a clean lockup. He begs off several times, using a poke to the eye to gain the advantage. Stevie throws X off the ropes and hits a dropkick. Stevie gains a headlock, but X uses his pure strength to lift Stevie and toss him STRAIGHT to the floor! X hits a German suplex, before ‘Queen’ Kyla causes a distraction. When X turns around, he’s met with a high knee strike. Stevie rolls X into the ring, and shows off some strength of his own, lifting X for a devastating Ushigoroshi. Stevie pins for 2. Stevie yells at Willy Pinnem, allowing X to hit another German suplex, but this time with a bridge…1…2…kickout! But X holds on and hits a violent German suplex into the corner! Stevie rolls out, when ‘Queen’ Kyla distracts Willy. X approaches, and flips Kyla in! Kyla is begging off the big man, when Toa Anoa and Samoan Assassin hit! Fighter X cleans house on the $yndicate, appearing COMPLETELY unfazed! But with the ref distracted, Stevie uses a baseball bat and SMOKES Fighter X! Stevie tosses the bat and gets the pin. [SV–496, FX–469]
RHETT GRADY vs. US MAYLE (Willowick Classic Finals Winner Faces Stevie Vertigo (c) and Gonna Get Got Scott for the Young Lions Championship at Clash 20) Hugh Jass: Both competitors have fought hard to get here! Rhett Grady beating Mike Dynasty and U.S. Mayle taking out Lonestar Redneck. Although short, this feud is one of the hottest in the NWL. In a matchup of ‘Hillbilly Strong Style’ vs. Mayle’s tactics, this one’s bound to get ugly! An unexpected visit to the Grady Ranch by Mayle set these two on a collision course, one that ends right HERE! Mayle enters, soaking in the boos. As he enters, Mayle calls for a microphone… Dapper Dan Dee: Suddenly, Rhett Grady sprints down the aisle, not even waiting for his music. Grady slides in and spears Mayle through the ropes. Both men spill to the floor. They throw haymakers until Mayle gains the advantage and reaches for his Social Distancing Stick. He attempts to hit Grady, who blocks the shot and grabs the stick. The Teamster: The crowd is going wild! Grady throws the stick aside and clobbers Mayle with a vicious clothesline. He rips off his t-shirt and looks under the ring. Mayle staggers to his feet and grabs a steel chair. Grady turns to meet a wicked chair shot to the forehead! “Country Hammer” is busted wide open. Mayle tosses him into the ring as the bell finally rings for the official start. Dapper Dan Dee: U.S. Mayle begins to stalk Grady. Blood is pouring from his forehead, but he motions for Mayle to come on in for some more. They lock up. Hip toss by Grady, followed by a headlock. Mayle gets to his feet and elbows Grady, breaking the hold. He whips Grady into the ropes and hits a shoulder block, then a sharp elbow drop. Hugh Jass: Mayle climbs to the second turnbuckle and comes off with an attempted knee-drop, but Grady avoids it and rises. Mayle gets to his feet and is met with a dropkick, followed by a standing senton for a one count. Grady grabs Mayle by the hair and tosses him to the floor. Grady slides out, grabs the bell from the timekeeper, and brandishes it for the crowd. Mayle is getting to his feet as Grady cracks him with the bell. Grady tosses the bell aside and grabs Mayle by the hair, exposing a stream of blood. Grady tosses Mayle into the ring and follows, grabbing Mayle and hitting a pumphandle slam for 2. The Teamster: Grady pulls Mayle into the corner and stomps him, causing the ref to issue a count. Grady breaks clean and raises his arms in victory as the crowd cheers. Mayle is up, and Grady comes in with a clothesline that misses. Drop-toe hold by Mayle. The “Total Package” cinches in an ankle lock, but Grady manages to get to the rope. The submission took its toll, and Grady can barely stand. Mayle kicks him in the stomach and hits a cradle suplex for 2. Off the count, Mayle slams down on Grady with multiple elbow drops, then picks him up and hits a devastating neckbreaker. Cover for 2. Grady kicks out and gets back to his feet, but Mayle immediately goes for the Mayle Drop! Grady blocks it and counters with a DDT. Hugh Jass: The mat is soaked pink with the blood of both men. Grady grabs up Mayle and hits a short-arm clothesline, then drops into a modified Fujiwara armbar. Mayle screams as the ref checks for a tap, but he manages to slip out and reverses into an arm-hook sleeper. Grady can’t get to the ropes and begins to fade! The ref is watching as the “Country Hammer” turns red. Suddenly, Grady manages to hook the bottom rope with his foot, breaking the hold! Dapper Dan Dee: Mayle thinks the match is over and raises his hand in victory! The ref grabs his arm and explains the situation, but Mayle isn’t having it. Grady gets to his feet on the other side of the ring and runs towards Mayle for a high-knee. Mayle grabs the ref and pulls him into the path just as Grady crashes into him! Mayle jumps outside and grabs his Social Distancing Stick as Grady tries to revive the referee. He slides back in and comes at Grady with the stick, blasting him! Hugh Jass: Mayle goes for the count, but the ref is still down. Mayle is livid! He grabs the ref and slaps him across the face to wake him up. Meanwhile, Rhett is to his feet! Mayle turns and is met the Pig Splitter!!! Mayle’s struggle is short-lived. The ref shakes off the cobwebs in time to see Mayle tapping! Announcer: “By submission, the winner of the Willowick Classic, the “Country Hammer” Rhett Grady!” Dapper Dan Dee: Willy Pinnem is raising Rhett’s hand to a thunderous ovation! Rhett is soaking in the adulation…but here comes Stevie Vertigo! Dammit! No! Stevie just nailed Rhett with a baseball bat! ‘Queen’ Kyla, is close behind, carrying Stevie’s NWL Young Lions Championship and TV Title. Stevie lays into Rhett with more bat shots, before Kyla hands him a mic… SV: Welcome to the MAIN EVENT tough guy! You think you can reach the same heights as me?! Hugh Jass: Someone’s gotta stop this! Stevie just keeps hitting him with the bat! He’s helpless! Rhett seems to be reaching for help, but on the screen, Toa Anoa and Samoan Assassin are beating on Rowe Grady! ’Queen’ Kyla hands Stevie a stack of $100 bills. Stevie throws the money at Rhett… SV: Consider this a down payment on the Grady Ranch! I know Aunt Betsy wasn’t too fussy on what US Mayle was PITCHING, but the people I work for don’t exactly take NO for an answer! Dapper Dan Dee: Now Stevie is holding the end of that bat to Rhett’s throat! SV: And when I’m done overseeing the acquisition of the Grady Ranch…I’m gonna burn that festering mudhole to the ground! Hugh Jass: Stevie is raising that bat high above his head…BUT HERE COMES FIGHTER X!!! Fighter X slides in for the save, chasing Stevie off and calling the NWL medics for Rhett. This has been a hell of a start to Futurescape! And it seems like we have more questions than answers! (We’re about 5 minutes into the match of Nivek Largo and Zydrate versus Arkturas Daemon and Friedrich von Flayer in New Orleans)
DDD: Oh my, and Largo just hit Daemon with a backbreaker! Looks like he’s taunting the crowd a bit!
Hugh Jass: Yeah it looks like the hardcore champ and Zydrate may run away with this thing!
(Just as Jass finishes his sentence, the crowd begins to stand and look towards the ramp; Rod Camino and WAZ are making their way to the ring without any music. The crowd begins to boo as they continue their way, as they get closer to the ring, Rod makes his way to Shilo Wallace and blows her a kiss as he walks by. They both walk to the announcer booth; Rod sits down and grabs a headset and WAZ stands at the side of the table glaring at the ring as the action continues)
DDD: Well, well Mr. Camino thanks for joining us I guess…oooh Zydrate just hit Daemon with a thunderous suplex! I hope you’re not here to start trouble Rod.
Hugh Jass: Rod! How the hell are ya? What do we owe the pleasure?
Rod: Don’t get your tighty whiteys in a twist Doofus Dan, Rod isn’t here to interfere…and neither is WAZ. Rod just wanted to catch these two weirdos in action before Clash. Man, those two jabronis are even uglier in person, what the hell is their deal? Shilo is kinda cute in a weird, might pull a Loraina Bobbit, gothy kinda way…
Hugh Jass: *laughing* Rod you’re an animal. Hey congrats on the win at Futurescape…you and Dave are a force. By the way, where is The Decision this evening?
Rod: Thanks for the kind words, Hugh, it was one hell of a match, but Rod and Dave took care of business like we always do. And Dave is doing what he does best…he’s been celebrating our TV Six-man belts and win at Futurescape for the last week. For all I know that wild SOB is back in Atlantic City!
Teamster: There’s a nice dropkick from Zydrate! Again, Rod one hell of a match, but it looks like things got a little heated there at the end between you guys, Mic Ferrari and Sam Hain?!
DDD: Yes Mr. Camino, it looks like the fans are really itching to see you guys go at it!
Rod: Rod didn’t come here to talk about those two losers, but since you brought it up; Dick and Sandra Hain?! If you two cowards are listening…after Rod and Dave win the Young Lions Tag Belts, we want you both in the ring! Teamster, if you’re listening, make it happen…I can’t believe those idiots same into the ring at the end of our hard-fought victory. They’re lucky Rod and Dave didn’t handle them there on the spot!
DDD: There’s a nice neckbreaker from Zydrate to von Flayer! Rod I’ve gotta say, I was impressed by how well you and Dave worked as a team in that match…you gave the NWL some warning that The Industry would be coming for some tag and sixman gold, and it looks like you’re doing just that. Rod: Yeah Doofus, Rod is a lot of things, but a liar isn’t one of them. The Syndicate ran things here for a while…but The Industry will be the standard for tag wrestling for the foreseeable future. BUT, we’re not stopping there. Once we reach the top of the tag ranks, we’ll be moving towards singles gold…no one's titles are safe these days.
Hugh Jass: So, Rod, when can I come party with you guys?! I’m in need of a night out soon?
Rod: HA! Rod doubts you can hang! Look Hugh I’ll make a deal with you. WHEN Rod and Dave win the Young Lions tag belts, you’ll be invited to the celebration…Dan on the other hand? Haha, Rod’s not so sure.
DDD: Well thanks for the kind words there, Mr. Camino…Oh my it looks like we’re getting a little hit into the action here…Zydrate and Largo are setting up…YES! They hit the Elective Surgery on Daemon! 1…2…3! GenCo wins!! What a match!
Rod: Well well, they got a win versus two scrubs big deal…
(Zydrate and Largo stand in the ring as Shilo Wallace makes her way in. They all stand in the center of the ring and creepily stare towards the booth as WAZ and Rod both stand and begin to stare back. As the tensions begin to build, the crowd begins to stammer…)
DDD: OH MY GOD! (Dave “The Decision” can be seen working his way through the crowd…he hops over the guard rail and slips into the ring behind GeneCo. He’s carrying his Singapore cane…he slips under the ropes and gets behind GeneCo…he hits Zydrate over the head with the cane, Largo turns around and he hits him in the stomach, then over the back of the head…Shilo begins to attack Dave and they exchange blows)
Rod: HAHA! THERE HE IS!! (Rod and WAZ leave the announcer booth, and both hop into the ring)
DDD: I had a feeling this was going to happen…
Hugh Jass: Man, just when you think you’re getting to know someone!
(Zydrate and Largo are both laid out on the ring, The Industry begins to pound on Shilo. WAZ sends Shilo into the ropes and Rod and Dave hit a Waxed ‘n Vaxed. They toss Shilo out onto the floor)
Dave: (grabs a mic and begins holding Largo by the head) YOU BOYS ARE GOING DOWN AT CLASH! I don’t care how scary you two clowns think you are…The Decision ain’t scared!
(WAZ picks up Largo and sends him into the ropes, Rod and Dave hit another Waxed ‘n Vaxed. Dave makes his way outside the ring and grabs a table. He sets the table in the ring and climbs to the top rope. WAZ picks up Zydrate and hands him to Dave…Dave leaps from the top rope and powerbombs Zydrate into the table)
DDD: Oh my god what has happened here tonight?!
(The Industry stands in the ring, Rod grabs a mic)
Rod: Well New Orleans!! You just saw what The Industry is all about! (the crowd begins to boo) WE”RE HERE…and we WILL BE the next Young Lions Tag Team Champions!
Dave: Hey Hain and Ferrari! You p*ssies are next!
(Dave tosses beers to Rod and WAZ. Slayer’s Reining Blood begins to play as all men exit the ring. As they go up the ramp, Dave tosses his cigar butt at a fan wearing a Mic Ferrari t shirt. As they make their way to the top, three women meet them as they exit) Part I - Thankless Job Richmond.
As 40,875 roaring fans fll the arena, 50 of the NWL’s brightest duke it out in a battle royal. $30,000 is at stake, plus the possibility of winning various regional championships, which could springboard anyone to stardom. All three members of GeneCo are representing: “The Anatomical Anomaly” Zydrate, “The Perfect Picture of Rage” Nivek Largo, and “The Face of GeneCo” Shilo Wallace.
DDD: “Folks, Richmond has been set ablaze! In these battle royals, fame has been earned and brotherhoods shattered, so what we see today is anyone’s guess! With Zydrate experiencing a slump, it’s up to the rest of GeneCo to pick up his slack, and Shilo Wallace is none too happy about that.”
Shilo is on a mission, delivering precision strikes to anyone who crosses her path. Fighter X pummels Shilo with punches, living up to his name. As she slumps against the ropes, he readies himself for a massive KO Punch. Shilo ducks and delivers a Spinning Back Fist before dumping Fighter X at ringside.
DDD: “And there goes Fighter X, folks! Hey, at least he’s $1,800 richer, am I right? I’d take an elimination or two if I could get that kind of scratch!”
As Shilo watches Zydrate attempt an elimination, she remembers GeneCo’s last strategy session.
“Zydrate, are you listening? Z? Hello? Anybody home? We need you to focus, okay? Nivek and I can’t keep steering the ship by ourselves. We barely advanced in the Triple D Trios Tournament, and you know damn well that you’d be out of Bound for Glory 9 if it wasn’t for our help.”
Distracted, Shilo doesn’t see Mic Ferrari running at her with ill intent, but a POUNCE from Nivek Largo sends the “Playboy” fying over the top rope to the outside.
DDD: “Did you see that?! These stakes are high, but I don’t know that $3,200 smackers would soothe me after THAT. Mic Ferrari is out of there! And there appears to be dissension in the GeneCo ranks!”
Enraged at Zydrate’s constant absent-mindedness, Nivek shoves his partner. The two appear ready to come to blows when Dave “The Decision” Wasilewski capitalizes on the distraction and sends Zydrate fying over the top rope and into the frst row of chairs at ringside. As Nivek fnally loses his cool, he, too, is sent over the top rope by Friedrich von Flayer. DDD: “And just like that, two-thirds of GeneCo have been eliminated from the battle royal! Nivek Largo is as furious as ever, and let me tell you, that is not somebody I’d want upset with me!”
Nivek and Zydrate are irate at ringside, with security separating the two stablemates. Left alone in the ring, Shilo Wallace is on the receiving end of a brutal attack by the “World’s Largest Luchador” Colossus. The 7’7” behemoth is delivering a brutal beating to the leader of GeneCo, lifting her up in a Gorilla Press Slam. Shilo manages to reach down and rake the eyes of the monster through the eyeholes in his mask, and against all odds, lifts him up and over the top rope.
DDD: “THAT’S RIGHT, BABY! COLOSSUS IS OUT OF THERE! DICK JACKSON SENDS HIS REGARDS, YOU SON OF A BI-- Ahem, sorry, folks, lost my cool there for a second!”
Shilo Wallace is beginning to fade. Rod Camino lifts her up by the hair, ready to attack, but from out of nowhere, The California Gunslinger sprints full-speed at the two. In a moment of unconscious teamwork, Shilo Wallace and Rod Camino deliver a double backdrop, eliminating the Gunslinger.
DDD: “UNBELIEVABLE! You never know what alliances might form in battle royals, folks, temporary as they may be! Shilo’s GeneCo teammates will be taking on Rod Camino and Dave Wasilewski for the Young Lions Tag Team Titles as Clash of Champions 20! Uh-oh, and Zydrate appears to be furious at Shilo Wallace for working together with his soon-to-be opponent…”
As security manages to escort Nivek Largo from ringside, Zydrate is livid, throwing chairs and screaming at the top of his lungs about Shilo’s perceived betrayal. Shilo tries valiantly to concentrate in the ring, even making it all the way to the fnal three with Lonestar Redneck and “Warpath” Wolf Keenan. She tries to calm her subordinate, but in her distraction, is fnally eliminated by Lonestar Redneck.
DDD: “OH! You hate to see it, folks, but ‘The Face of GeneCo’ has fnally been eliminated, and I have NEVER seen a woman so furious -- at least, not since my third marriage! Shilo Wallace has nonetheless won the NWL Southeast Title, but that seems to be the least of her concerns right now.”
At the sight of his mentor being eliminated, Zydrate panics and runs from the ringside area, not wanting to incur Shilo’s wrath. She angrily takes her newly won Southeast Title and chases after him.
Continued in Part II Part II - Sawman’s Lament Hyde Park.
DDD: “Folks, are you ready for some NWL action? We have set an indoor attendance record of 32,842, and I’ll tell you what, not a single one of you is going to be sitting down! In our main event, you’ll see Frosty McFreeze in action, but--”
GeneCo’s music hits the speakers, as a determined Nivek Largo walks to the ring, accompanied by Shilo Wallace. He climbs in, barely acknowledging the screaming fans, and approaches Dan Dee.
DDD: “Uh, Mr. Largo, I don’t believe we have you scheduled for action--”
NL: “Dan, you know I love you, and I know you’re just doing your job, but I need to let of some steam, and I need to do it NOW. Stevie Vertigo, I’ve gotta give it to you, I have never felt anything quite like the V-Driller, but the next time we square of, we’re not gonna get a repeat of Alberta. But in the meantime, since I’m told Monsieur Vertigo isn’t in the building, I’ll tell you what. Let’s start this show of with a bang! How about it, Hyde Park? I’m thinking maybe a championship match?”
DDD: “Now, Nivek, I don’t know that you have the authority to do such a thing.”
NL: “Relax, Dan! The Teamster knows what he’s doing, and if this fan reaction is any indication, I don’t think he’ll mind my little open challenge. But the fact of the matter is, in the next 30 seconds, SOMEONE in this ring is going to get hurt, and I don’t want it to be you, Dan.”
Dan Dee recognizes what Nivek is saying and quickly absconds to the commentary table, leaving the microphone behind in Nivek’s hands.
NL: “Since I can’t get my TV Title back tonight, I’ll have to replace it with some other gold. ANY regional champ in the back, if you’re looking for a fght, there’s one right in the middle of this ring waiting for you!”
King Diamond’s music hits, and the NWL West Coast champion makes his way to the ring, getting in Nivek’s face right away.
DDD: “Folks, this is unprecedented, we are STARTING this show of with a championship match! King Diamond has stepped up to the plate and accepted Nivek Largo’s challenge, and with apologies to Nick Dane and Bahama Breeze, our opening contest will now be an NWL West Coast Championship match!” Diamond and Largo have an absolute war for nearly a half-hour, trading moves, brawling on the outside, sending each other into everything from the guardrail to the ring steps. Diamond has the upper hand and rolls Largo back into the ring.
DDD: “Well, I think Nivek may have bitten of a little more than he could chew here, I’m not sure how wise his challenge was! King Diamond is setting up for his patented Spear, Largo is on his feet, King Diamond charges-- NO! Nivek Largo connects with a superkick that stops King Diamond dead in his tracks, he’s lifting him up in that suplex position, and STRAIGHT DOWN TO THE MAT with the Outburst! 1, 2, 3! We have a new NWL West Coast Champion!”
Dan Dee steps into the ring and hands Nivek Largo the championship, once again bringing a microphone into the ring along with him.
NL: “King Diamond, that was one HELL of a fght. As you said, I felt the pain, and God knows I felt the blood here tonight. But the GeneCo Experiment rolls on, and Colonel Doom, Mic Ferrari, I hope you’re watching at home. I’ve got an Outburst with each of your names on it, because absolutely NOBODY is taking my NWL Hardcore Championship from me.”
DDD: “Nivek, I, for one, cannot WAIT for the Clash and that Hardcore Title match. But speaking of Hardcore, your partner, Zydrate, has recently won the IWA Hardcore Specialty Tournament. Will that create any tension between the two of you? Where is he, anyway?”
Nivek and Shilo look at each other, troubled.
NL: “Dan, I have no idea where he is. But what I can tell you is that is bad, bad news.”
GeneCo’s music hits as Nivek Largo and Shilo Wallace exit the arena.
Continued in Part III Part III - Aching Hour Rock Creek.
Rod Camino is in action early on in the night, taking on the beloved Nigel Constable. It’s a short match, as Dave “The Decision” Wasilewski laughs at ringside, jawing with fans. Camino makes short work of Constable, taking him out with a Palm Strike. But after he makes the pin and his arm is raised in victory, he looks to ringside, and Wasilewski is nowhere to be found.
* * *
Zydrate is somewhere in the bowels of the arena. The room is dark, and a single TV monitor is playing the action live. Zydrate is on the ground, rocking back and forth. His slump has left him...uneasy.
Z: “He’s MY partner. MY brother. MY friend. But no, Zydrate is the weak link. Zydrate isn’t carrying his weight. Zydrate can’t keep up.”
He’s not talking to anybody in particular. On the TV is Nivek Largo, shortly after winning the NWL Six-Man Titles alongside Master Destroyer and Frosty McFreeze.
Z: “Title after title after title. He just keeps winning. It must be so nice. It must be a cake walk. But, I don’t know if you know this, I’ve fnally won something again. It turns out, the Anatomical Anomaly is handy with a biker chain…”
Dave Wasilewski is chained to a chair in this room with biker chains. They’re cutting into his fesh, blood dripping down his arms, while Zydrate laughs quietly.
Z: “Yes, yes, Dave, I made my own DECISIONS, as it were. I entered the IWA Specialty Tournaments desperate for meaning, desperate to fnd my calling. And not only have I discovered that I am just as Hardcore as my partner, I’ve found the weapon that my hands were meant to wield.”
Dave screams and swears at Zydrate, absolutely furious.
Z: “I hope you don’t take this personally, Mr. Wasilewski, I respect the hell out of The Industry. But after you eliminated me from that battle royal in Richmond, I knew you were more formidable than I realized, and I just can’t have The Industry winning those Young Lions Tag Team Titles at the Clash. I cost GeneCo a chance to advance in the Tag Team Derby, so you need to understand, I’m already on thin ice as it is!” Zydrate picks up a nearby steel chair and folds it fat.
Z: “It’s not my specialty, turns out, but, hey, it’ll do, right? I understand you’re an arm wrestling champion, Mr. Wasilewski. I assume all the better to perform that patented ‘Deciding Factor,’ right? Well, if that’s your signature weapon, I’m afraid we just have to take that of the table.”
Zydrate swings the chair hard into Dave Wasilewski’s arm. He swings it repeatedly, over and over, desperate to break the damn thing. The repeated chair shots not only do impact damage, they drive the biker chains even further into Dave’s skin. By the time Zydrate is done, Dave’s arm is bloodied and bruised. Zydrate is exhausted, but laughing gleefully.
Z: “Come Clash of Champions 20,I will carry my weight. I will prove my worth. And I will single-handedly lead GeneCo to being the very FIRST NWL Young Lions Tag Team Champions. Enjoy the rest of your night, David.”
Zydrate leaves Dave Wasilewski bleeding in this undisclosed location as he exits, screaming with laughter.

EVIL : FIEND FREAKS OUT IN FLORIDA
During a show in Tallahassee, Stevie Vertigo submitted Nacho Camacho in under 5 minutes , in front of 17,000 rowdy fans. After the match Stevie Vertigo grabbed a mic and started cutting one killer promo about (GGG)SCOTT being locked up in an asylum just a few days prior in Jacksonville. But midway through the promo VERTIGO noticed a commotion coming from the backstage area. Suddenly, a plain white panel van bursts through the titantron!!! The van has “Jacksonville Asylum” printed on the side. Inside, driving the van , is a still handcuffed EVIL: (Gonna Get Got) SCOTT. Apparently , Scott had stolen the van and drove the 180 miles to Tallahassee ! He stumbles as he hurriedly exits the vehicle. He looks very disheveled . (GGG) Scott is still wearing a white, hospital robe with the back wide open and nothing else. He grabs a mic at ringside ….
(GGG)SCOTT: Don’t trust them STEVIE, This isn’t REAL!! STEVIE VERTIGO, the words on the page may be yours but they're inked in MY BLOOD! I am a different monster than I was a year ago, but I find I like these new fangs much better. You and me, we are a modern day tragedy! Sometimes it's good to be “CRAZY” . It gives you time to wonder and search for truth , and have curiosity. RHETT GRADY, my boy, make your life worth living. I don’t have much time. THEY will be here soon. And just in case you ever wonder...It’s not okay...It’s never been okay ...And it never will be okay. The possibility of physical and mental collapse is very real .Remember we are all just prisoners here of our own device. And I’m not tearing down my walls ...so IF You want to know what's inside - you’ll have to climb over. I may be surviving LIFE but I feel dead inside just the same. No sympathy for the Devil, you know. Buy the ticket , GRADY. Buy the ticket and take the ride. “CLASH OF CHAMPIONS 20” I may be losing my mind. But you ARE losing that Young Lion’s Belt !!!” A stunned Stevie Vertigo stands in the ring dumbfounded as two dozen police officers and men in white coats taze , tackle and hogtie EVIL:(GONNA GET GOT) SCOTT ! They drag him to another white van and throw him into the padded cargo area. (GGG) Scott is shouting gibberish about an NWL CONSPIRACY and the voices in his head. The white van peels out of the Tallahassee Arena on its way back to the Jacksonville Asylum. Queen Kyla, Toa Anoa, and Samoan Assassin all run to the ring. Stevie Vertigo holds the mic up to his mouth and says “ Oh Man, that guy’s more far gone than I thought. I mean forget all that crazy talk. He actually thinks he’s gonna beat me at Clash Of Champions 20. I don’t think so! He really is insane !” He then looks at his stable .. “What the Hell took you guys so long?” The Syndicate's music fills the arena as they leave the area. COMMOTION , CONFUSION and CHAOS in CLEVELAND, OH
During an untelevised match, Warpath Wolf Keenan beat & destroyed a bloody Mike Dynasty with his signature move “HUNTED DOWN”. Wolf had made Dynasty tap out earlier in the match but the referee did not see it. Mike Dynasty was laid out in the ring , while Wolf was posing on the top turnbuckle. Suddenly , EVIL: Chief Logan rolled out from under the ring and attacked Warpath Wolf Keenan , knocking him over the ring post and to the concrete foor. Chief Logan then turned his attention to the prone Mike Dynasty. Meanwhile , outside the ring, the 7’7” monster EVIL: COLOSSUS made his way towards Warpath Wolf. Colossus hit him with a big boot which knocked him unconscious. However Colossus did not stop there. He DDTed Warpath on the foor and laid him onto the german announce table. Inside the ring, Chief Logan stood over the lifeless loser that is Mike Dynasty. Chief Logan begian to unzip his jeans. But EVIL: COLOSSUS grabbed his shoulder and stopped CHIEF LOGAN. Logan looked angry at Colossus. But the monster just shook his head side to side. Colossus then picked up the putrid smelling Mike Dynasty of the mat and placed him on the top turnbuckle. Chief Logan grabbed a mic. “That’s right Colossus give him the “CONCUSSION” (top rope superplex brainbuster). Drive that dimwitted, disgusting PALE MAN through the ring, just like you did to MAD DOG DICK JACKSON!!!!” Colossus stood on the top rope holding Mike Dynasty straight up in the air. He then surprised everyone , when he turned around and executed the most devastating “Concussion” anyones ever seen. Colossus executed his signature move FROM THE TOP ROPE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE RING, LANDING ON TOP OF WARPATH WOLF KEENAN, WITH ALL 3 MEN going through the German Announce Table !!!!! Even EVIL: CHIEF LOGAN was shocked to see the devastation. Then a huge smile crossed his face. Logan exited the ring and locked the “Yellowcreek Massacre” (dragon sleeper) onto the worthless, talentless Mike Dynasty. At which point Dynasty lost all bodily control and pi$$ed and defecated his pants ! At which point, “No Limits” Nick Dane and “LionHeart” Lachlan Kincaid rushed to ringside to help “Warpath” Wolf Keenan who was coughing up blood and holding his possibly broken ribs. However Colossus took down Lionheart with another big boot. Chief Logan hit “No Limits” with a chairshot to the head. Colossus then powerbombed Lionheart through the Spanish announce table. Chief Logan then locked the “Yellowcreek Massacre” onto “No Limits” !!! Many fans were throwing thrash at EVIL, while Chief Logan grabbed a mic and Challenged the PALE MAN Mike Dynasty to a “Native American Strap Match” in a future episode of FUTURESCAPE (AGAIN)! Finally , all of the NWL’s referees, announcers, the Commissioner, the arena’s security guards , many enhancement talent and even a few fans ran out to stop all of the COMMOTION, CONFUSION, and

Somewhere in Beaver County, Pennsylvania……
(The sun has set over the Grady Ranch and nightfall is upon us. We see the NWL production van rumbling up a dirt path through the forest until it reaches a large clearing. There, we can see a massive bonfire and a large crowd of people. Parked all around the fire are pick-up trucks and Harley Davidson motorcycles. People are everywhere enjoying themselves, seemingly celebrating something big. At the center of the party is the black Ford F150 owned by . The NWL van parks, and out pops DAPPER DAN DEE and his camera crew. They walk through the crowd towards the Grady truck, where “SHEEPDOG” ROWE GRADY is standing in the bed, beer in hand, about to give a toast….)
“SHEEPDOG” ROWE GRADY: “We all know why we’re here tonight, right?! We’re here to celebrate the new #1 contender to the NWL Young Lions Championship, my big brother, “COUNTRY HAMMER” RHETT GRADY!”
“COUNTRY HAMMER” RHETT GRADY: “Always the modest one, baby bro. Nobody forget that this right here is the man who brought the first title belt home to the Grady Ranch! ROWE GRADY, the NWL ROCKY MOUNTAINS CHAMPION!”
(The crowd cheers loudly as DAPPER DAN DEE finally reaches the Grady boys…..)
DAPPER DAN DEE: “This is one heck of a party, Rhett. You guys always celebrate like this?”
RHETT: “This isn’t a party, Dan…..it’s a small get-together. You’ll see a REAL party after Clash of Champions 20, when I bring that Young Lions strap back to Beaver County!”
(Rhett Grady cracks open another beer and hands it to Dapper Dan Dee…..)
DDD: “Ummm……thanks, but I’m on the clock.”
RHETT: “It’s all good, we don’t waste beer ‘round here.”
(Rhett pours the beer into a dog bowl nearby. LARRY, the ONE-EYED BULL MASTIFF runs over and begins to lap it up….)
DDD: “We’ll get to the events of Futurescape shortly, but first I’d like to confirm a rumor making its way around the dirt sheets. Have the Gradys officially declared for the 2021 IWAR Draft?”
RHETT: “Yeah, we’re in the draft, but right now that’s the last thing either of us are thinkin’ about. Bring that camera over here!”
(Rhett grabs the cameraman and points directly into the lens…)
RHETT: “Hey, STEVIE VERTIGO! Let your boy Rhett tell you a story. You see, there was once this weasel. He was sly and cunning and liked to sneak attack the other animals, never thinkin’ for a second ‘bout whether he’d get eaten. One day, he ran into a big ol’ bear and decided to try and steal his honey. The weasel snuck up behind the bear and even had his little weasel friends trap the bear’s brother. The weasel hit the bear with a log and actually managed to steal the honey, but eventually the bear found the weasel and his little weasel friends….and he ATE THEM!!”
DDD: “Is there supposed to be a lesson here, Rhett?”
(Rhett crushes his beer and slams the can into the ground. He takes off his bandanna to show a line of stitches across his head…)
RHETT: “You see this? Eighteen stiches in the head of this country boy, all from that weasel STEVIE VERTIGO and his baseball bat. Another sneak attack, hittin’ me after I just finished rasslin’ two matches. His lackeys jumpin’ Rowe in the locker room to avoid a fair fight. But that’s OK, Danny. Vertigo is a weasel, and we all know what happens when the weasel tries to steal from the bear. Well, I’m that bear. Vertigo, you tried to steal my glory and my opportunity at the NWL Young Lions Championship. We’ll see how froggy you feel after I rip you in half with the Pig Splitter, then – just like the bear in that ol’ fairy tale – I’m gonna’ eat you for supper!!”
ROWE: “And SAMOAN ASSASSIN, TOA ANOA? Both of yinz better find a dark hole and hide in it. I’m gonna’ make sure that neither of you interferes in that match at Clash of Champions 20, and we might just bring AUNT BETSY along to handle that little jezebel, QUEEN KYLA!”
DDD: “You do realize there’s another competitor in that Young Lions title match, right? GONNA GET GOT SCOTT, the leader of EVIL, will also be in the match.”
RHETT: “One, two, three, four…..hell, five. Throw as many of ‘em in there as you want, ain’t gonna’ make no nevermind! The Country Hammer is leavin’ Clash 20 with the Young Lions Title over my shoulder. Then we’re gonna’ come right back here to Beaver County and light a bonfire so big they can see it in Willowick!!”
DDD: “I realize the Young Lions Title is important to you, Rhett. But what about the innuendo Stevie Vertigo threw out at Futurescape? Is there a secret plot to steal the Grady Ranch away from your family?”
RHETT: “U.S. MAYLE started that wheel in motion, and now he’s in a hospital nursin’ broken ribs and a shattered ego. Vertigo got deep pockets, no doubt - but ain’t no one takin’ this ranch away from our family. I don’t care if it’s his money or it belongs to whoever is pullin’ the $YNDICATE’S strings. The Grady Boys will cut ‘em down like a buzzsaw! Tell ‘em, Rowe!”
ROWE: “Aunt Betsy made a call of her own….to DON KING, the new commissioner of the IWL! Turns out, the IWL had a few spare rings layin’ around, so Rhett and I wrote a check out of our own pockets and got one for the Ranch. If the $YNDICATE wants to play games with our livelihood, they can do it right here – ON THE GRADY RANCH!”
DDD: “Are you saying what I think you’re saying?”
(Rhett Grady reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper. On the top, it reads “DEED”. It’s the deed to the Grady Ranch! He slams it down on the tailgate on his truck….)
RHETT: “That’s right, Danny. Rowe and I challenge the $YNDICATE to a GRADY RULES MATCH, right here on the GRADY RANCH. As it turns out, the $YNDICATE has made more enemies than just the Grady Boys, so we went around and found ourselves a partner to even the odds. And Grady Rules? All that means is NO RULES! I’ll see you at Clash of Champions, Vertigo. Then, after I take your pretty little title, Rowe and I will rip out your souls!!!”
DDD: “There you have it folks, a challenge has been laid down to the $YNDICATE. Who will be the GRADY FAMILY’S mystery partner? Will the $YNDICATE accept? It sounds like this blood war is just getting started!”
RHETT: “And you better believe that we will finish it! NWL, you’d all better keep your heads up ‘cause your RECKONING is upon you!!!”
ROWE: “The REAPER is at your gates!!!”
(DAPPER DAN DEE retreats to his van as the Grady Boys continue on with their celebration…..) Colonel Doom’s ring music starts to play (Loverboy’s “Loving Every Minute of It”). The Colonel walks to the ring being booed by the crowd. Doom steps into the ring where Dapper Dan Dee is standing waiting for the one, the only, COLONEL DOOM. DDD: “Hello, Colonel Doom. Look, fans, we have Colonel Doom in the house. (The fans boo and scream insults at the Colonel. The Colonel just smiles.” DDD: “Colonel Doom, since you came on the scene, you haven’t looked back. What is your secret?” CD: “You see, Dapper Dan, I learned a lot in the independent leagues before I moved to the NWL. This kind of knowledge is important. I was so proficient, and when I say proficient (DDD starts to yawn and the Colonel notices)…Diaper Dan Dee (DDD is startled), you have one job around here and that job is to hold the microphone while I give my presentation. As I was saying, when I say proficient, listen to me, I say, listen to me, son. So proficient that I was beating up and winning every match like I was a giant among those little midgets. Ha ha. Now listen, Dapper Dan, I was so good, it was like I was the star attraction on a Saturday night midget throwing competition. (Colonel Doom just realizes what he has been saying in his own little world. Colonel looks around.) Well, DDD, you see, none of this would be possible without the little people. I love the little people. They are great, and if they start to get on your nerves, you can always keep them at arm’s length, if you know what I mean.” DDD: “Colonel Doom, that is just rude.” CD: “You are rude for interrupting me. Like you were saying. DDD< I haven’t looked back since coming here. I have had many championships. Since I won the NWL Championship, many organizations have taken notice of me. Fraternal organizations, security companies, police departments, and yes, California Gunslinger’s sister, Aira Gunpowder. She found out my phone number somehow. But then, if I were a female, I would try to contact me also. She keeps wanting me to show her how the piledriver works, (what could she be talking about) ha ha. I noticed Aria is wearing the outfit I sent her. She looks fire in it, don’t you think so, Gunslinger?” DDD: “What about the police?” CD: “The Colonel decided to take the local police department up on their offer to patrol on a part-time basis. I work the midnight shift.” DDD: “Is this going to be a long story?” CD: “Shut up and listen, hold that microphone up straight. So, after about an hour on the job, it was midnight on the dot. A call came over the radio about 2 male subjects being seen lurking around a neighborhood store. (The best part of the call is I got to turn on the squad car lights and siren to get there fast.) Colonel Doom turned off the lights and siren when I was close. Then, I rolled up on the building and saw the shadows of 2 people around the back. Colonel was being sneaky and went to the rear of the building. There was enough light that I could see one of the guys’ faces. I did a double take. I couldn’t believe who it was. I, Colonel Doom, yelled out, “Lance Horowitz. (The other guy runs away). Horowitz tries to run away also. I grab him by the shoulder and spin him around. Horowitz sees that it is his worst nightmare, Colonel Doom. Horowitz struggles to get away, but he can’t. The Colonel takes out his flashlight and hits Horowitz over the head and to his stomach until Horowitz can’t move. I notice the back door of the business is open, so I close it and make sure it is locked. Then I called in to dispatch that I couldn’t find anyone and the building is secure. I go back over to Horowitz and whisper to him, “There is more where this came from, so stay out of my way at the Futurescape.” I begin hitting Horowitz again until his body is laying in a pool of blood. Colonel Doom stands over Horowitz and asks, “Do you think this feels like going through the windshield of a Cadillac?” Ha ha! DDD: “Colonel Doom, that isn’t justice.” CD: “You see, Dapper Dan Dee, the community can count on me to do the right thing. I take out the trash.” DDD: “The Rookie Rumble is getting closer.” CD: “I’m ready for it. The Rookie Rumble was made for me. The Colonel is in the house. The moron fans will know it, as well as the other wrestlers. This will be one of the last times for me to thump on some of the baby face cowards that have entered the draft, like Mic Ferrari and others. Mic Ferrari really thought he was great. Then The Colonel shows up. When Ferrari sees Colonel Doom, I can see the fear on his face. Then, Sam Hain is supposed to wash, I mean watch Ferrari’s back. Sorry about that. Whatever you two have going on is probably lovely in its own way. I would like to give another hint about the stable that I belong to since none of you losers have figured it out yet. This stable is made up of wrestlers with all of the hints I have given now. Someone must know which stable I belong to. Although you people are dumber than a box of rocks.” DDD: “Colonel Doom, thank you for taking time out of your schedule to talk with us. Well fans, which stable does Colonel Doom belong to? Until next time.”
Rick Jones, I hear you calling me out. Before you come after the big dogs, you just might want to get the wetness dry behind your ears. But, if you feel froggy, jump right in, you dweeb. You are a little froggy in a big pond. I’ll tear you limb by limb and then I’ll stomp on the rest of you. Now little Ricky, think about that when you decide if 3 seconds of courage is worth ruining the rest of your life. The Colonel takes care of business.
Zydrate, blah, blah, blah. That is all Colonel Doom hears when you talk. You just don’t make any sense. When you and your brother win the tag team eliminator, you are pretty sure of yourself. Come on Zydrate, are you all talk or can you actually back it up? Whoops, no you can’t. Ha ha!
While Colonel Doom was involved in the backstage brawl, he threw a trash can into the crowd. Then, he felt something hitting him. It felt like a Mack Truck hitting him. Colonel Doom fell to his knees. He turned and saw the old man Horowitz in a wheel chair staring at Doom. “Barry Horowitz,” Doom said. Barry Horowitz then hit Doom on the head several times, causing blood to flow over Doom’s face. Doom wiped his face with his hand and saw his own blood. Doom went berserk. Doom grabbed the old man’s wheel chair and pushed him hard into the wall, causing Horowitz to hit his head on the wall. Doom then took his brass knuckles out and hit Barry on the head. The Colonel then knocked Horowitz out of the wheelchair. Doom picked up the wheelchair and slammed it down on Barry multiple times. “The Horowitz baby face moron scumbags are on my list. People, you don’t want on my list. The Colonel Doom’s list of destruction.” Doom left with his face bloody. He didn’t care. Colonel Doom calls that motivation.
Colonel Doom says, “Nivek Largo, now that the stage has been set for you to meet your “Doom”, the Hardcore Championship will be mine. I just hope you can last a while in the ring with me, so your fans can have some false hope. You saw the fall of California Gunslinger and Lance Horowitz. I knew when I was added to Futurescape for the Hardcore Championship challenge they didn’t have a chance. The Championship belt will look good around my waist. You are just a stepping stone to more championships on my resume.”
[Intro music: “Country Boy Can Survive” by Hank Williams Jr. plays on the arena speakers. Lonestar Redneck walks to the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand. Lonestar looks at the crowd with the Pacific Northwest title belt over his shoulder.] “I am going to challenge Nivek Largo for his T.V. title belt. I automatically get a title shot for the NWL Championship. I will be your next NWL Champion. I have also been served a restraining order from U.S. Mayle. Are you serious, U.S. Mayle? Have you lost your mind? Are you that scared of the Lonestar Redneck? You should be, because you have seen for yourself that I can get crazy. See, U. S. Mayle, I don’t have anything against you. But you talk about everyone and brag about who you have run out of the NWL or hurt them, but you don’t like it when someone gets back at you, do you? To tell you the truth, U. S. Mayle, I really like you as a wrestler. I was just checking to see how tough you really are. You are a tough S.O.B., that’s for sure. What I am getting at is this. I could use someone like you as a Tag Team partner. I think me and you would make great partners. What do ya say? All you have to do is join my stable, LRC, which stands for the Lonestar Redneck Club. Now for California Gunslinger, you want to challenge me for a match? That’s okay, because I will accept your challenge under one condition. Leave your brother and sister out of this. This is between you and me. You and me at the Clash of Champions 20. All you got to do is name the type of match you want, because when I get you in a match, we will end this feud once and for all, because at Clash of Champions 20, I will open up a big ol’ can of whoop ***, then I will stomp a mud hole in ya and walk that S.O.B. dry, because the Lonestar Redneck said so!”
Dapper Dan Dee interview with Blind Fury. “Hi Dapper Dan Dee, I am new to this company. I am ready to fight at all times. The main guy I want to fight is U.S. Mayle and those Syndicate guys. My two partners are Lonestar Redneck and El Jefe. So what is TBD? You say the 6 man match. I want the smoke, Blind Fury, and I am out.”
Blind Fury’s music comes on by Bone Crusher “I Ain’t Never Scared”. Blind Fury comes to the ring, gets the microphone, and speaks. “First off, I go by the name of Blind Fury. Mike Hammer, you decked me and won the battle, but you did not win the war. Lonestar Redneck, I apologize for wanting to fight you in a match. I am going to ride with you wherever you go, Lonestar Redneck. They’ll have to fight with me before they can fight with you.”
