scottstamperlive.com Presents RAGE FC - The ReBoot!

[awsomsinger]

HEY FELLOW PROMOTERS!  

elscotto is back!  From this point forward, you can call me Scott.  While you're at it, head over to my website (it's in the title of this thread) and check out what I do for fun and money most weekends!  

OK, now that the shameless plug is out of the way, I'm glad to be back and hopefully for a good long while.  As always, I enjoy your comments and suggestions on the upcoming action in RAGE FC, so feel free to post them.  

I wanted to thank some of my fellow promoters for the excellent charts they've created that I use here in RAGE FC.  They are.....
-  Dayton Dave (DQ, Attack, Suspension, and Injury Charts)
-  Barnestormer and Graymar (Business Model Charts)
-  Graymar's Draw Chart
-  bloodsport3000 for his Ratings System that I use
-  Whomever created the Live Segments Backstage Drama Chart (credited to Justin Case)
-  Jeff "Doc" Manjarrez and his Blood & Guts Rules

I also want to thank anyone that has followed my feds and enjoyed the action.  I hope you will continue to enjoy it.  

OK, on to RAGE FC

Anyone that has been following me and my feds may have seen that I try to be different.  It's just in my hardwiring.  I use some unique (to me, anyway) rules.
-  I treat this as real sport, and sometimes I'll throw in some storyline elements as the situation warrants (backstage brawls, DQ's, etc.) 
-  I use the Supercard format for rankings (1-2, 3-4, on down)
-  If doubles is rolled on a pin attempt that does NOT end in a pinfall, then the defensive wrestler made it to the ropes to force a break, the referee "stands them up", and we restart to see who goes on L1O first
-  If a 2 (two) is rolled on a pin attempt at any time, the defensive wrestler is said to have been "knocked out", if finisher is a strike, or "TKO'd" if finisher is a submission hold.  He/she will be removed from the active roster for 1D6 cards, and once that passes ("medical clearance"), he/she can rejoin the active roster once an opening comes up.  In the ratings, to keep in line with Bloodsport3000's rules, a KO or TKO scores 10 points for the offensive fighter and 0 for the defensive fighter.
-  Using the Blood & Guts chart noted above, if a fighter sustains two cuts (any combination of Major Gash, Deep Cut, or Cut), fight is stopped for excessive blood loss.  The losing fighter is out for 1D6 cards, under the same rules as rolling a 2 (two), and gets 3 points in the rankings.  The winning fighter gets 7 points. 
-  Fights are 15-minute time limits - Title fights are 30-minute time limits AND two falls/submissions or a knockout to decide the winner (I always liked that rule in World Of Sport Wrestling)
-  Any fighter losing 5 fights in a row OR all of his/her draw (per Graymar's draw chart) loses their spot on the active roster. 

I am doing three divisions for this edition of RAGE FC - 10 fighters will be on the active roster of each division at any time.
-  Infinity Division (224 pounds or less - So called because of the "no limit" athleticism of the fighters in that division)
-  Unlimited Division (225 pounds and up)
-  Knockouts Division (Women)

So there you have it.  I hope you enjoy it.  Questions and comments are always welcome.  I'm going to try and get two cards in the books by the end of the week.

[Pariah]

It looks like you've put alot of thought into this and taken time to thoroughly flesh out your concept... Great start!

I don't follow much in the way of Legends, but this looks very interesting so far. Can't wait to see your opening roster.

[Powermonger]

That's really great. Looking forward to seeing your Rage reboot. I like how you have this thing laid out. Nice ideas.

[awsomsinger]

Thanks Guys! I think you're going to like some of my initial matchups. I'm using GWF, LOW, LOTF, ROH, Shimmer, CZW, CWFH, and bootlegs. I'm still shooting for the first two cards in the books by the end of the weekend.

[Powermonger]

I'll definitely be waiting for it.

Saturday 2/14/15 - RAGE FC "My Bloody Valentine" 
Welcome to the new RAGE FC! It's great to be back!

In front of a crowd of 1816 at Dayton's Hara Arena, RAGE FC had their “coming out again” (for lack of a better term) party. The initial rosters are stacked with all-stars from all over the world, and galaxy as well. They were paired off at random, which resulted in some great matchups if I do say so myself.

This was a special Valentine's Day edition of RAGE FC. All the ladies in attendance got a “Blood Red” rose! The action was hot as well. There will be three weeks of matches, with the top two in each division by total points fighting for the respective Championships at RAGE FC's first network television broadcast, entitled “March Meltdown”.

Quick match results are below. Next week we will have more detailed match results, as we're joined by our commentary team of Mark Lowrance on play by play and Paul Ellering on commentary

After the match Kingston attacked Moxley and beat him down. Moxley had to be helped to the dressing room.
BOBO BRAZIL D. CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI AT 4:59 WITH THE COCO BUTT
Actually, it was the EIGHTH Coco Butt – CC kicked out of the first seven and was cut by the eighth
MIKE GRAHAM D. SCOTT NORTON AT 10:14 WITH A SMALL PACKAGE
AETHRAN OVERMASTER D. THE GRAPPLER AT 2:28 VIA DQ
The Grappler gets a moral victory by leaving Overmaster laying outside the ring
BUDDY ROGERS D. ROB VAN DAM AT 2:10 VIA DQ

NOTES

Jon Moxley suffered injuries after being beat down during his post-match brawl with Eddie Kingston, and will be out 3 weeks.

Wendi Richter suffered a Major Gash against Sherri Martel, but got stitched up and will be with us next week

Claudio Castagnoli and Mike Graham both got Cut during their matches – Neither required stitches and they will both be back next week.

The locker room was buzzing over Neveah upsetting Awesome Kong in just under 2 ½ minutes, as well as the upset win for Mike Graham over Scott Norton

It is being said that this is the first time in recent memory that Aethran Overmaster has been left laying after a match – Although he lost by DQ, The Grappler got a lot of props from his fellow fighters due to Overmaster's bully reputation.

The toughness of Claudio Castagnoli was also being discussed, as he withstood seven Coco Butts by Bobo Brazil before succumbing to the eighth

TOP CONTENDERS

Knockouts – Mildred Burke, Wendi Richter

Infinity – Evan Lewis, Jushin Liger

Unlimited- Bobo Brazil, Mike Graham

We'll see you this Saturday for more great RAGE FC Action!

Your questions and comments are always welcome!

Saturday 2/21/15 - RAGE FC "Winter Wasteland" 

Welcome to Week 2 of the new RAGE FC presented by scottstamperlive.com from that grand ol' wrestling barn, Dayton's Hara Arena. Let's head down to our broadcast team of Mark Lowrance and Paul Ellering

MARK – We welcome you once again to Hara Arena and Week 2 of RAGE FC here on Fox Sports Ohio. Mark Lowrance alongside the architect of the Road Warriors, Paul Ellering......
PAUL – Well put if I do say so myself
MARK – Thanks Paul, tonight we continue on the road to March Meltdown on March 7, a special Saturday night show to be shown in Primetime on Fox. We had Week One last week with My Bloody Valentine, and there was indeed some blood, as Jon Moxley was injured at the hands of Eddie Kingston and is out three weeks. Big Sue Jackson called up to take his place and he faced Claudio Castagnoli earlier.
PAUL – That's right, Mark, and let's take a look at our kickoff matches not shown on television (Highlight reel begins to roll)

MARK – Awesome Kong D. Courtney Rush with the Awesome Bomb at 4:45
PAUL – Courtney with very few moments in this match as Kong's power overwhelmed her from the beginning
MARK – Sara Del Ray D. Sherri Martel with the Lebell Lock at 3:20
PAUL – Sherri takes the early advantage, Sara forcing a rope break on a pin attempt, and on the restart, starts blistering Sherri with chops. Sara nearly wins with a Powerbomb, but weakens Sherri enough to hit the Lebell Lock for the submission win
MARK – Bryan Danielson D. Delirious via DQ at 3:56
PAUL – Neither fighter able to gain any advantage and they end up on the outside. Delirious gets too physical with the re
MARK – Ray Rosas D. Soldier Ant with Rosas R Red at 2:57
PAUL – Rosas also getting the first knockout in the short history of RAGE FC and sending Soldier Ant to the sidelines in the process.
MARK – Claudio Castagnoli D. Sue Jackson at 1:56 with the Ricola Bomb
PAUL – Sue Jackson debuting to replace the injured Jon Moxley, but his debut is short and brutal as Claudio dominates from start to finish
MARK – Finally, Scott Norton D. The Grappler at 13:26 with a Jawbreaker
PAUL – The Jawbreaker is a rudimentary move to most fighters, but to a powerhouse like Scott Norton it's a lethal weapon. Grappler already bleeding profusely from being sent headfirst into a table, yet he refuses to quit until Scott hits the jawbreaker and knocks Grappler out cold.

(Camera rolls to rear of Dayton Hara Arena as a limo pulls up and Mike Graham comes out)

MARK – Not something you see every day, Mike Graham coming out of a limo. Mike scored one of the big upsets last week, surprising Scott Norton with a rollup. Tonight he's facing Bobo Brazil in the #1 Contender's match, and Amber Gertner is with him now.
AMBER – Thanks Mark. Mike Graham, you gave away over 100 pounds to Scott Norton yet managed to come away with the pinfall win. After that tough match, how are you feeling this week?
MIKE GRAHAM – Amber, as I'm sure you know, a great wrestling tactician can defeat an alley fighter any day of the week. Ask Scott Norton if you think I'm kidding. But to answer your question, yeah he cut me but it's healing nicely and I'm ready to go
AMBER – Do you think Bobo Brazil will target your head?
MIKE – It wouldn't surprise me, but I'll be ready for it
AMBER – Thanks Mike (Mike Graham walks off). Back to Mark and Paul
MARK – What do you make of that, Paul?
PAUL – Well, Mike's been underrated for most of his career, and I'm sure the whisperings of getting lucky against Scott Norton may have upset him. I hope Bobo Brazil is ready.
MARK – You think Bobo will target the head?
PAUL – I fully expect him to, his Coco Butt is his best weapon, and Mike is sporting a bandage.
MARK - It's that time again, let's head up to the ring and Amber Gertner for our first match....

This segment brought to you by the Long Branch Saloon, Dayton's favorite Old West themed bar and grill. Bring the family and come in and get full.

SARAYA KNIGHT VS MSCHIF (KNOCKOUTS)
These two old SHIMMER rivals were out of the ring early, with Saraya earning the DQ at the 1:31 mark. From there, Knight and MsChif engaged in a knock down, drag out brawl that involved, referees, security, chairs, tables, and anything else not nailed down. When order was finally restored, both fighters were injured and bloody and two security teams were required to remove them both from the ringside area

JOKER VS SAMI CALLAHAN (INFINITY)
Both fighters came out with hard hitting offense that allowed each to score several near falls apiece. Sami then sent the action to the outside and sent Joker headfirst into the guardrail, earning himself a DQ in the process. As Sami and Joker began to brawl, the referee intervened and was accidentally struck by Sami in the process. Sami was escorted from ringside by security, as Commissioner Spike announced that Sami Callahan will be suspended for next week's action.

PAUL – This is beginning to look like a Road Warriors match
MARK – How do you figure that, Paul?
PAUL – Carnage everywhere! Look at it, counting the kickoff matches, we've lost two fighters to knockouts, two fighters to injury, and another one to suspension. I hear Spike is already on the phone setting up replacements for next week.

EDDIE KINGSTON VS ROB VAN DAM (UNLIMITED)
At the opening bell, Kingston dodges a leg sweep and hits a quick Lariat for a near fall. Eddie then hit a half-nelson suplex for another near fall. Eddie then sends RVD to the floor and hits a powerbomb on the concrete; RVD manages to get back in before the countout. Eddie stays on Rob and hits back to back Sliding D's for near falls. Two Backdrop Drivers later, Eddie hits Backfist To The Future for the pin at 3:47

The top contender's segment is brought to you by Executive Employment Services. Looking to aim higher in your career? Let EES launch you to the stratosphere!

JESSICKA HAVOCK VS NEVAEH (KNOCKOUTS)
Nevaeh controlled the early action with a variety of suplexes. Havock took over with an elbowstrike on a charging Nevaeh. Havock took the match with a Standing Lariat, followed by the Havokiller at the 3:52 mark

JAY LETHAL VS ALEX COLON (INFINITY)
For the first few minutes this match was dead even. Colon would gain the advantage on the outside by bloodying Jay on a table, then hitting him with a flying shoulderblock back in the ring. The second of two Done Deals knocked Jay Lethal out cold, securing the win for Alex Colon at 4:05 via KO.

BUDDY ROGERS VS AETHRAN OVERMASTER (UNLIMITED)
After weather initial offense by AO, Buddy landed a kick to the head off a rope whip, then took AO down with a flying forearm. Buddy then turned to psychology, dazing AO with a slap to the face, then taking his dazed opponent down with a flying headscissors. Buddy then hit a back drop and a piledriver, but AO was barely dazed, sending Buddy to the ropes, only to be wrapped up in a small package for a near fall. After hitting an atomic drop, Buddy sent AO to the outside. AO got the better of the brawl and took control. AO sent Buddy outside, then hit Buddy with a powerbomb on the floor. Though hurt, Buddy beat the referee's count. AO sent Buddy to the corner and set up for Reign Of The Overmaster, but Buddy ducked and AO flew out of the ring and crashed to the floor. Throwing caution to the wind, Buddy flattened AO with a flying bodypress, yet AO beat the referee's count back into the ring. Buddy wasted no time cinching in the Figure Four Grapevine, and after a few seconds, AO tapped out. Time of the match 4:47

OUR CHAMPION'S SEGMENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY BUCKEYE CASINO & RACEWAY, WHERE THE CHAMPIONS PLAY!

MILDRED BURKE VS WENDI RICHTER (KNOCKOUTS)
Wendi comes out firing, hitting five consecutive near falls on a missed corner charge, a scoop suplex, and three Richter Bombs. Wendi sends Mildred out of the ring, and on her return, Richter hits a fourth Richter Bomb for another near fall, and a clothesline for another near fall which is broken by Burke. On the restart, Burke powerslams Richter for a near fall, which is barely broken up by Richter grabbing the ropes. On the second restart, Burke takes Richter down with a forearm uppercut. Burke then hits a knee drop and tries to mount a comeback. Burke sends Richter outside and headfirst into a table. Burke rolls Richter back in and suddenly cinches in the Alligator Clutch, forcing Wendi to submit and scoring the comeback win at 5:50

EVAN LEWIS VS JUSHIN LIGER (INFINITY)
The first few minutes were a feeling out process. Evan then gained a small advantage and a near fall with a fireman's carry which Liger broke with a rope grab. On the restart, a series of kicks scored a near fall for Liger. Liger maintained the advantage thru two trips out of the ring. Another series of kicks, and another near fall for Liger. Another series of kicks score another near fall, but this one is broken by a Lewis rope grab. On the restart, Evan sends Liger to the outside, and Liger sends him headfirst into a table, opening a Major Gash on Evan Lewis. Liger hits the Shooting Star Press, and miraculously Lewis kicks out. Liger hits a Top Rope Huracanrana, spiking Evan's head into the mat so hard another Deep Cut is open, and at this point the referee stops the match for excessive blood loss at 8:24

MARK – This night has been like a car crash, so to speak. If you're keeping track at home, we've lost seven fighters tonight to either injury, knockout, or suspension!
PAUL – And we've still got the main event to go!
MARK – Let's get to it, this should be a great one!

BOBO BRAZIL VS MIKE GRAHAM (UNLIMITED)
They shake hands to start the match. At the onset, Graham takes control by an unexpected sleeper, which brings Bobo to his knees. Graham then attempts a flying bodypress, but Bobo rolls through for a near fall. Bobo sends Graham to the outside, and after a brief brawl, Bobo gains control, sending Graham back into the ring and hitting the Coco Butt out of nowhere for the quick victory at 1:44.

MARK – Paul and I joined at this time by Commissioner Spike, and Spike, I think Paul Ellering put it best when he said that tonight resembles a Road Warriors match, in that there was a lot of carnage. Would you agree?
SPIKE – Oh yes, definitely. Here's what's going down in that regard according to the medical staff......
Soldier Ant still lightheaded after his KO by Ray Rosas, he'll be out about five weeks
The Grappler was gashed badly and had his bell rung by Scott Norton, he'll be out five weeks
Saraya Knight and MsChif beat each other bloody and a few referees and security too, Saraya will be out about five weeks and MsChif about six weeks
Sami Callahan, as I announced earlier, suspended one week for striking an official
Jay Lethal knocked out by Alex Colon, he's still seeing stars, he's out about five weeks
Finally, Evan Lewis suffered two large cuts and lost a lot of blood in his match with Jushin Liger, he'll be out about four weeks
PAUL – Because of all this carnage, will you be making any changes?
SPIKE – Well, we'll be calling up personnel to replace our injured and suspended fighters, but as far as rules, not as of yet.
MARK – Spike, thanks as always for joining us
SPIKE – My pleasure
MARK – Tonight, RAGE FC lives up to its name
PAUL – Yep, a lot of Rage and a lot of fighting, which leaves a lot of carnage.
MARK – That's going to wrap it up here, so for Amber Gertner, Paul Ellering, and the entire crew, I'm Mark Lowrance. We'll see you again next week, good night!

Soldier Ant out about five weeks

TOP CONTENDERS

KNOCKOUTS – Mildred Burke, Jessicka Havock

INFINITY – Alex Colon, Jushin Liger

UNLIMITED – Bobo Brazil, Buddy Rogers

Your questions and comments are always welcome!

[Pariah]

You definitely keep the action flowing... And like I stated previously, you've got a well developed process in place for handling your fed... Looking forward to more.

Was hoping RVD would claim the victory, but Kingston was just too much this time around... And I'm with the guys in the back - I like seeing Overmaster getting knocked down a few pegs... Nice!

[awsomsinger]

I'm with you, Pariah.  The funny (or maybe not so funny) thing is, Buddy Rogers didn't have any real trouble in his match with Overmaster.  I expected a more back and forth battle.  

I was hoping RVD would have done better up to this point, but we're only two weeks in.  

Pleasantly surprised Bobo Brazil is ranked #1, I watched him wrestle on TV at eight years old.

[awsomsinger]
