The new plot twists are awesome! I'm really enjoying the storytelling. The Dark Menace, Phantasy and Monolith ... is it possible that The Equalizer and Monolith are one in the same? Plus RVD/Page is going to be off the chain. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Rough night for guys I like but Johnny Wrestling comes through in the last match. Morning TTX! I was hoping that Fox was going to make a comeback in his second match, but who knows how the matches will go from here. Johnny Wrestling returning to form was the real highlight for me, he looked unstoppable. I am looking forward to hopefully starting to roll out and write up the matches today. Barring any fantastic results, the other portions have been written - I'm really having fun going down this rabbit hole of a tournament. Always appreciate your input brother! |

I agree I am pumped to see how Page & RVD shakes out. Some more events, a few other major (or soon to be major players) are introduced and some emphasis on Johnny Garganos largely unpopular poetry - are part of the next chapter along with just who exactly The Equalizer is. I am hoping to have this posted tonight or tomorrow. Having a blast with this Tournament. Really hope it's enjoyable my man! And thanks again! |

Summing up chapter 7 like this... ADAM COLE BAY-BAY! And of course, I'm really looking forward to Styles vs Steen on the next show! Hey Pariah! I'm hip to that...Adam Cole looks like the man...(or one of the men) to beat in this sucker...his offense is just sick! Here's to hoping for a great rest of the tournament. Now Styles & Steen? Could potentially be the best match so far...both are 1 - 0. Looking forward to this match alot. Always appreciate you being a part of it all amigo! |

With AJ BAY BAY!!! Coming out the winner. Hey Crossbones! I have a strong feeling that Cole vs Styles will eventually be in the cards. Cole is already 2 - 0. And I think Styles takes Steen. But anywho, I am hoping to actually start rolling out and writing up the match results conversations as soon as I post this message. (I have an 1:45 commute each way so hopefully I can get my freak on now LOL). Also looking forward to The Equalizer in action. Awesome you are a part of this as well brother man! |

A Billion Reasons...(A Tournament)...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Chapter 8)
(7th night of matches):
-----------------------------------------
1. Justin Credible vs Jigsaw
2. Chuck Taylor vs Jerry Lynn
3. Rob Van Dam vs Adam Page
4. Sabu & Homicide vs The Equalizer
5. Kevin Steen vs A.J. Styles
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Owner & The Commissioner:
----------------------------------------------------------
(The scene is from within the candle lit Owners Residence...The Owner is seated behind his desk...and is as always...in deep in thought...there is a small...circular table across the room...placed around it...are three plush chairs...placed on top of it are...three glass tumblers...a small ice container and a full bottle of the Aethran Whiskey..."Cleansed"...the first person to enter "The Dungeon"...is The Commissioner...with a large...and strong cup...of coffee):
Owner - I'm going to tell Quackenbush...what I'm thinking about...in as far as...where I think this all...may be able to go from here...but then unfortunately...I have to cut this meeting short...in order to attend to something...please my friend...follow my lead...
Commissioner - Ok...(with that...the Commissioner produces a yellow legal pad and pen...to take good notes).
(Next there is a knock at the door...):
Owner - Come in...
Mike Quackenbush - Gentlemen...good morning...(they all shake hands...and all make their way to the meeting table).
Owner - Thank you Mike...for coming...
Mike Quackenbush - Thanks to you both...for hearing me out...
Owner (To Quackenbush) - What are you're thoughts Mike?...
Mike Quackenbush - I think that...if we could turn this...ultimately into a fed...with this whole..."Game of Thrones"...vibe...and all of my connections...this fed could be...monstrously...successful...
Owner - Connections?...
Mike Quackenbush - Yes...competitors of...all shapes and sizes...many who are here now...actually...as well as others...including a few I have been trying to coax...out of retirement...men...women as well and teams...I'm willing to partner 50/50 with you...Mr. McDermott...(The Commissioners glance slips a little)...in the creation of a new fed...
Owner - I think that this...would be a promising enterprise...however...what I think should happen is the following...(gestures towards The Commissioner)...my friend here...who is soon to come into a large sum...of money here...(meaning...the ppv release of the tournament...)...(now to both Quackenbush and The Commissioner)...should go in...50/50 with you Mike...and start a fed...however...you would pay rent to me...because I still own...the island...but I would still have some presence...in the fed...but discretely...so...what do you both...say?...
(The Commissioner & Mike Quackenbush look at each other in thought)...
During the usual...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
1. Justin Credible defeated Jigsaw via Pinfall courtesy of his Backbreaker at the 30 second mark...
Owner - 30 seconds?...amazing...I never would have...or could have predicted that outcome...from either side...what happened?...
Commissioner - There was an extended opening collar and elbow lock up...between these two...and then Credible just freaked out...catching Jigsaw completely by suprise...and got the three count...a split second before Jigsaw kicked out...
Owner - But...how?...
Commissioner - Apparently Credibles coach...and senior partner in...The Booze Brothers Corporation...The Sandman...kept him dry...through his training for this match...no win...no beer...Sandman told him...
Owner - So...does The Sandman train the same way?...
Commissioner - That's apparently what Credible...asked The Sandman too...but Sandman told him he...doesn't have to train that way...he said "If I wasn't better than you...then I'd have to do that same shit too"...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
2. Jerry Lynn defeated Chuck Taylor via Pinfall courtesy of his CRADLE PILEDRIVER finisher at the 12 minute mark...
Owner - Jerry Lynn now...joins...the 2 and 0 club...
Commissioner - Yes...he seems to be improving...with each match...sire...Lynn came out and almost put Taylor away in seconds...A Bodyslam then a quick CRADLE PILEDRIVER...However Taylor quickly commented saying to Lynn, "Boy are you screwed Lynn...just how the hell...can you possibly pin...all three of us?...
Owner - Wow...has Taylor been to the castle hospital?...
Commissioner - A few times sir...how ever as the match wore on...and the fighting spilled outside the ring...Lynn hit Taylor in the head with a Steel Chair...
Owner - That man needs help...
Commissioner - That's what Lynn said as well...after the bout...
Owner - He's right...
Commissioner - Oddly...sire...Taylor seemed like his old self again...after the Steel Chair Shot...even the doctor said that his multiple personalities...appear to be gone...for now...but he will be keeping an eye on him...as will I...but we may...have to swing...The Equalizer into service sooner...than expected...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
3. Rob Van Dam defeated Adam "Hangman" Page via Pinfall courtesy of his Standing Moonsault at the 18 minute mark...
Owner - It always appears to be...an interesting match...when Mr. Van Dam...is involved...
Commissioner - Most definitely...this one started...and ended...with controversy...
Owner - Do tell...
Commissioner - As Adam Page asked the referee something...just at the moment the bell rang...distracting the referee...a masked assailant had emerged from under the ring...and Brass Knuckle Punched Van Dam from behind...in the back of the head...and quickly slunk back under the ring...then Page went for a quick cover...
Owner - Van Dam kicked out...
Commissioner - Yes...but he wasn't quite the same...for the rest of the match...Page slowly and methodically took him apart...as the referee kept telling Van Dam..."Nice Try"...as to a "mystery interference"...from under the ring...
Owner - Lots of drama...Interesting...where did it go from there?...
Commissioner - Well...Van Dam...eventually was bleeding from the front...and the back of his head and after about 16 minutes or so...ran out of gas...Adam Page executed his RIGHT OF PASSAGE (A Kneeling Back To Belly Piledriver)...and Van Dam was done...however...
Owner - Go on...go on...
Commissioner - The referee was distracted and had to discontinue the count...because he soon found himself in a heated argument with Van Dam's ex-tag team partner Sabu...who had stormed the ring apron...who was beside himself...from here...Van Dam yelled out something to Sabu...who in turn jumped off the apron...and started circling outside the ring...for the rest of the match...
Owner - What next?...
Commissioner - Adam Page continued his offense...but Van Dam seemed to get a second wind...Page hit another RIGHT OF PASSAGE but Van Dam kicked out of it...soon reversed the offense...and hit an out of nowhere Standing Moonsault...rolled Page up and got the three count...with a handfull of tights...
Owner - What of The Masked Assailant?...
Commissioner - As he tried to help Page...Sabu attacked him...stabbing him repeatedly with a Foreign Object...running after him all the way back...to the locker room area...
Owner - Who was he?...
Commissioner (smiling) - At the end of the night...with just about everone gone...a tipsy maid...with hair all askew...emerged from underneath the ring...holding a bottle of Jack Daniels...
Owner (now smiling) - So...Adam...Cole...huh?...
Commissioner - That would be...my guess...after all...he does have a 50/50 deal with Cole...like Black and Elgin...and the maids here...just...absolutely...love him...
Owner (still smiling) - And no cameras...under the ring...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4a. (First of Two Parts) - The Equalizer defeated Sabu via Pinfall courtesy of his CATASTROPHE primary finisher (A Shooting Star Press ) at the 3 minute mark...
Owner - Ha!...I knew these two were not..
going to last against The Equalizer...
Commissioner - Well...sire...The Equalizer was just too...overwhelming for Sabu to deal with...any sort of offense Sabu started to mount...was quickly reversed by The Equalizer...even when the match briefly went...out of the ring...
Owner - Uh...huh...
Commissioner - The Equalizer destroyed him...kept banging his head into the stone floor at ringside...and then shoved him back inside the ting...The Equalizer then peered down at the twitching Sabu in the middle of the ring...from the top turnbuckle...and hit his primary...finisher...
Owner - Awesome...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
4b. (Second of Two Parts) - The Equalizer defeated Homicide via Pinfall, courtesy of his CATASTROPHE primary finisher (A Shooting Star Press ) at the 15 minute mark...
Owner - Intetesting...Homicide survived...for 12 minutes...Impressive...
Commissioner - I have to say...although he came out of the contest...on the losing end...Homicide actually...gave The Equalizer...a run for his money...
Owner - Now this...I have to hear...
Commissioner - At first...The Equalizer was beating him senseless and ragdolling him inside the ring...then The Equalizer went for his CATASTROPHE primary finisher...but Homicide...angrily kicked out of it...
Owner - Huh...
Commissioner - Most of the wrestlers actually clapped and cheered this...then Homicide took control of the match for a while...topping of his offense with Burying A Steel Fork In The Side Of The Equalizers Head...The Equalizer threw Homicide outside the ring...to go to work on him...but Homicide Smashed Him With A Steel Chair...then back inside the ring...The Equalizer soon countered with two executions of his I BREAK YOU secondary finisher (An Over The Shoulder Backbreaker)...but then soon after these...Homicide almost pinned him with an out of nowhere version of his DA GRINGO KILLER finisher (A Vertebreaker)...
Owner - I must admit...Homicides alright...
Commissioner - Then...talk about out of nowhere...The Equalizer was taking a beating but then...suddenly and creepily...sat up...almost supernaturally...and then hit Homicide with his tertiary finisher DECAPITATOR (A Running Clothesline)...but Homicide somehow kicked out again...well this completely...infuriated The Equalizer...he picked Homicide...completely up...and threw him across the ring...thru the air off his feet...face first into the turnbuckle...and that was it...The Equalizer slowly climbed the ropes...and hit his finisher...
Owner - What happened to Homicide?...
Commissioner - He was removed via stretcher and...is recovering within our hospital...That Equalizer is some...kind...of monster...
Owner (he just smiled...as he sat back...in his chair...)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
5. Kevin Steen defeated A.J. Styles via Pinfall, courtesy of his High Angle Senton Bomb at the 6 minute mark...
Owner - 6 minutes only huh...Steen must have been on fire...I guess...
Commissioner - Pretty much...sire...although Styles won the lockup and scored the first...near fall with his Spiral Tap...for a very very close fall...Steen quickly rebounded...
Owner - What happened next?...
Commissioner - There were a few reverses of offense but then Steen hit his stride...he tossed Styles outside...the ring and went to town on him...almost getting himself disqualified...in the process...then he tossed him back inside the ring and executed a bone crunching...Powerbomb Onto Ring Apron...that completely rocked Styles...from there Steen saw his chance...he wasted no time...and put him away...
Owner - Steen goes to...2 and 0...now...
Commissioner - He's in a groove...for sure...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
The Callihan Chronicles:
----------------------------------------------
(The scene is from The Commissioners chambers...the highest rooms...in the tower above Mcdermott's castle...):
Commissioner - It appears as though...Quackenbush...and myself...are going to be co-owners...and I guess commissioners...of a brand new...fed...
Sami Callihan - Where?...
Commissioner - Here...
Sami Callihan - Here?...
Commissioner - Here...what are your plans exactly...after this tournament?...
Sami Callihan - Haven't...thought that...far ahead...really...but you know...I...can be...an excellent...bodyguard...
Commissioner - That's...what I was figuring...
Sami Callihan - But I'm a bit...confused...so where does this leave...everyone's favorite Owner?...let alone...Beauty and the Beast?...
Commissioner - He's going to be the...landlord...of it all...since he still owns the island...and as far as...this Phantasy and The Equalizer...I don't know...but if I had to make a guess...they are going to be...remaining here...and will more than likely...be the heart of his own...stable of wrestlers...in this new fed...
Sami Callihan - Interesting...
Commissioner - The consenus was...with my knowledge of the castle and liasons with people in the...nearby towns and Quackenbush's connections and apparent knack for negotiating with the wrestlers...thats the plan...so...now...who...is this...Equalizer?...
Sami Callihan - He's...not really a...who...he's more...of a...what...
Commissioner - Ok...
Sami Callihan - He's called Monolith...and he...is a genetic creation...of your Owners...aka...(gets up and closes the door to this chamber)...The Dark Menace...
Commissioner - A genetic...creation?...
Sami Callihan - A creation...a ridiculously strong...manufactured...wrestling machine...Andre the Giant...would have had...a lot of problems...with Monolith...truth be told...I think Monolith would have kicked Andre's...ass...
Commissioner - So this...Monolith...is like a...modern day...Frankenstein's monster?...you're telling me?...
Sami Callihan - I couldn't have put it...any better...myself...
Commissioner - Jesus...
Sami Callihan - Very loyal to...The Dark Menace...as far as...I know...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(The scene is...the small wooden dock...at the edge of this island...standing there awaiting the raft...to slowly be rowed across Lough Key...is The Commissioner...as well as...the same two security guards...who received The Equalizer...aka Monolith...the other night...riding on the raft...along with the oarsmen of course...is Phantasy...the long strawberry blonde haired woman...in the picture frame that often sits atop...The Owner's...aka The Dark Menace's desk...even with only moonlight on her...and covered in a long navy blue trenchcoat...she is absolutely breathtaking...her heels...clip clopping...across and...off of the raft...)
(As The Commissioner welcomed her with a handshake (and a furiously pounding heart)...and the security guards silently argued as to which one of them...was going to help her with her bags...The Commissioner excused himself for a moment...and handed the oarsmen the outbound letters to mail...from the island...The Commissioner forgot her for a moment...and still got a kick out of seeing yet another letter...from Johnny Gargano...to his mum...and of course...The Commissioner could feel another small notebook of sorts...of his poetry in there...to be shared...with her)
What Is...Poetry?...:
----------------------------------------
(The letter from Johnny Gargano to his mum...was received...and then...Ms. Gargano made a phone call...as she always does...when she receives his...poetry...)
Ms. Gargano - Hello...Dylan?...
(The Actor) Dylan McDermott - Hello Ms. Gargano...how are you?...
Ms. Gargano - Wonderful...it's here...
Dylan McDermott - Fantastic...sending someone now to pick it up...can't thank Johnny and yourself enough for all of this information about...what's really going on...with our Castle Island and this...bogus McDermott...
Ms. Gargano (squeezing the envelope...but not opening it) - Seems to be a thicker amount of...information in here...than usual...Dylan?
Dylan McDermott - Yes...Ms. Gargano?...
Ms. Gargano - Please don't send...anyone from that...what are they again?...The Killer Elite Squad?...they all look like something out of...Wild Kingdom...Lance Hoyt...looks like Kevin Costner...compared to the rest of those...reptiles...for Christs sake...
Dylan McDermott (smiling) - Will do...I'll keep them all locked up...in their cages...say...why don't I just...come and get it...myself...
Ms. Gargano (smiling ear to ear...and checking her appearance in a nearby mirror) - Well...now...you're...talking...
