Nice to see the Macho Man doing his thing. Fed's already hot. Afternoon TTX! He certainly has started off with a bang and a bit of a controversy. Johnny Valentine wants a rematch big time - we just have to see how the SOTU braintrust votes on how to handle that situation. Very stoked that you're digging it. More to follow soon. Going to be posting the match schedule for card 2 along with the next installment of From The Commissioners Office. Always grateful you are in the seats brother! |

Seriously looks like SOTU is already pushing the tachometer into the red, my brotha... Hansen gets himself DQ'd AFTER being busted open and Snuka demands an opportunity for retribution... Friction within the Midnight Express which could lead to a very intriguing encounter... And of course, the Macho Man strutting his v stuff like the proverbial peacock during mating season. OHHH YEAH! Afternoon Pariah! Tensions are definitely high at this stage of the fed because everyone needs to prove themselves over the first four cards if they want the prestigious titles of inaugural champions. There was tension between Snuka and Hansen as soon as the bell rung, but Snuka thought he had him. When Hansen snapped because he was losing, he decided to take Snuka down with him. On the Midnight front, Dennis Condrey definitely thinks that Eaton either phoned it in or underestimated Prichard & Lane but nonetheless - Condrey had to do all the heavy lifting just to lose. Randy Savage is convinced that he runs the place. I'm really looking forward to seeing how the title picture shakes out. Whatever they decide to do with Savage his next opponent will be serious because Valentine would like nothing better than to have his pound of flesh. Card 2 match schedule / program & Commissioner's office section coming up. Always look forward to you're take on things my brother! |

Symptoms of The Universe - Card Program
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Generals Gathered In Their Masseeeeeeeess...
Live From Sunnyside Gardens
Queens, New York
Card 2
Scheduled Bouts
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
▪ Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Ivan Koloff:
(For Jim Duggan - he sees everything from the perspective of defending The United States - Ivan Koloffs claims of Russian superiority in all aspects of life have driven Duggan to deal with it all by further bonding with his trusty 2 x 4 - whom he now affectionately calls Woody - Koloff wants nothing more than to obliterate Duggan in the ring and burn Woody to ashes right before his eyes).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
▪ Ida Mae Martinez vs Joyce Grable:
(Ida Mae Martinez is a woman of many minds - for example - she's here to become a World Champion - but that's not to say that she can't bag The Nature Boy in the process - in spite of and especially because his woman's here too - Joyce Grable however - is of one mind - and she goes for the first down not the endzone - for right now - she's gonna kick this chick's ass).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
▪ Curt Hennig vs Gorgeous George:
(Harley Race told Curt Hennig to not take Gorgeous George for granted - all of that pomp and circumstance is part of his strategy - as well as his personality - Curt Hennig told Harley Race over and over again that yeah yeah I know take him out quickly right - during these conversations - Gorgeous George has been in front of his favorite mirror for hours - prancing and preening - with a devilish grin often across his face).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
▪ The Rock N Roll Express vs The Miracle Violence Connection:
(The Rock N Roll Express always did their training in a hair metal soundtracked gym - there just isn't any other way to train right? - and they always did their training with women roaming around - there just isn't any other way to train right? - The Miracle Violence Connection always did their training at night in different sleasy dives - there's always wanna be tough guys in alleyways and lots of alcohol - there just isn't any other way to train right?)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
▪ Harley Race vs Barry Windham:
(To say that Harley Race is gunning for the SOTU World Championship is as huge an understatement as there is - as is his protege Curt Hennig for that matter - not that Barry Windham isn't - nor is his father - as evidenced by Mulligan's detailed opinions on how Windham should tackle Race - but Windham is somewhat conflicted - there's Tully Blanchard's offer still ringing in his head - but does he really want to go down that road again? - his father would totally freak again - let alone...)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From The Commissioners Office:
(We see Sky Low Low, Little Beaver and Andre The Giant in their office on a conference call...Andre's desk is predominantly covered in empty beer cans...Sky Low Low's desk is predominantly covered in dishevelled and somewhat coffee stained paperwork...in front of Sky is a bottle...as well as a half drunk glass of Southern Comfort...Little Beaver's immaculate desk has a bouquet of flowers on it from Beverly Shade...a half a pack of cigarettes and a shot of espresso...Beav cups his hands to light a new cigarette and the call begins):
Director on The Board - Gentlemen...we all wish to congratulate you...on an excellent opening card...the reviews have been stellar...not to mention the ratings...
Little Beaver - It's our pleasure...
Sky Low Low - Don't worry... we've got this thing under control...
Director on The Board - Did Solie give you our messages?...
Little Beaver - Yes...
Sky Low Low - We'll get back to you on the Randy Savage issue...
Little Beaver - Besides it's too early to tell who's going to be in contention for what at this point...
Sky Low Low - And for the time being we have a work around until we hire a better quality referee...
Another Director on The Board - We're all ears...
Little Beaver (after a deep drag and the smoke exhales effortlessly out as he speaks) - I'm refereeing Card 2...Sky Card 3 and Andre Card 4...we want to take some more time...in order to vet this situation out...
Director on The Board - That works...so Sky...what did he say?...
Sky Low Low (takes a swig) - Lou's in...
Another Director on The Board - Did he sign off on the contract yet?...he's slated to main event Card 4 right?...against who?...
Andre The Giant (after finishing a can of beer) - A real piece of work...
Sky Low Low - Not yet...but he'll be here...trust me...
Director on The Board - He better...
Another Director on The Board (to someone else in the Boardroom) - Do you have anything you would like to add here?...
Someone Else (as Sky, Beav and Andre now sit forward in the seats - caught a bit off guard) - No...except I wanted to say thank you again to all of you...for The Boards proposition...I have agreed to accept...
Director on The Board - Mr. DiBiase...we cannot think of a better man to be The CFO of our fed...
The Owner - Nor...a more generous...one...
(Little Beaver stares at Sky Low Low...who is shaking his head in disbelief...and Andre emits a low growl while opening yet another can of beer):
Another Director on The Board - Does anybody else...have anything to add here?...
Andre The Giant - I have to double our security staff...
Director on The Board - How come?...
Andre The Giant - Multiple locker room fights have occurred already...and tomorrow The Road Warriors arrive...
Another Director on The Board - Ok go ahead...by the way Sky where are they staying?...
Sky Low Low - The Busted Face...oh listen...we now have an arrangement there...the entire fourth floor belongs exclusively to The SOTU...
Ted DiBiase - Really...how did you swing that?...
(Brief moment of silence):
Sky Low Low (just before Sky pushes the button to abruptly hang up on their end of the call) - Does Macy's tell Gimbles?...
Andre The Giant - Huh...
Little Beaver - DiBiase...sneaky bastard...he's on Card 3...
Andre The Giant - Who should we aim at him now?...
Sky Low Low - I'm thinking...
(On the chalkboard in The Commissioners Office now reads as follows):
First Match Cycle (Cards 1 - 4):
Larry Zbyszko
Candi Divine ♡ 😊
The Heavenly Bodies
Randy Savage ?
Second Match Cycle (Cards 5 - 8)
Card 5 so far:
---------------------------

Hello all,
Just a quick note.
I started to present this in two posts that covered two different aspects of one card and found it starting to become a little to wordy.
So I've tweaked the style a touch so there will only be one post per card at half the size I was currently doing.
My goal is to post all the results and tell the stories that are all around them and the SOTU as succinctly as I can.
A leaner cut of meat with much less fat.
I often tell two hour versions of ten minute stories - wish me luck on this endeavor lol 😊
On that note I'm going to be posting Card 2's match results, backstories to date and Card 3 preview in one post.
Thanks everybody!
Happy Friday Eve!

Summary of A Conference Call
Between: Little Beaver, Sky Low Low, Andre, The Board of Directors, CFO Ted DiBiase and T.V. Announcers Jim Solie & Gorilla Ventura:
▪ Little Beaver told Jim Solie & Gorilla Ventura that Jim needs to monitor what's censored going forward on the broadcasts...we can't be hearing - "Koloff get your damn hands of my Woody" on broadcast t.v. Likewise - Gorilla has to greatly reduce the number of close up and candid shots of the female wrestlers. Jim Solie seemed happy with this...But Gorilla sure looked bummed.
▪ The Board of Directors have arranged for another press conference outside Sunnyside Gardens...that will be full of questions about this recent swell of popular and talented Independent Wrestlers...they told Beaver, Low and Andre to be ready for it.
▪ While he talked over Ted DiBiase, Sky Low Low informed all that they've hired a new full time referee - who coincidentally was part of the independent scene - he was that masked wrestler Unknown Soldier - who also has some information and connections with this new breed of independents.
▪ CFO Ted DiBiase told all that he has some connections as well, but would rather discuss that with The Board off line first (as Sky gives him the finger).
▪ Andre said that we have also found some quality security recruits and the crown jewel of the bunch is actually The Unknown Soldiers associate - also a product of the recent independent scene - that monstrous looking wrestler known only as Suror. He starts as Head of Security the same night Unknown Soldier becomes our ref...Card 5 Andre and Sky assured The Board that they are quite capable and can take care of themselves.
▪ Little Beaver and Sky Low insisted that the policy of managers, valets and entourages are only allowed by ringside and cannot interfere stand forever. No matter whose asking. It muddies up the results to much. Period.

Duggan using a cross body amuses me. Great action as always, and a certain terrible trio might be making an appearance soon.

Thank you man - and I'm so glad this match summary template is working. I after a while I realized that I truly can't add any value in this area in any conventional sense so I'm expanding upon what I did in Fantasy Gridiron Wrestling. Like a box score you would read in the papers that tells the story from a high level. Going to be posting Card 3 Results, Backstories and Card 4's Match Schedule tonight. Always grateful you're always in the seats amigo! |

Duggan using a cross body amuses me. Great action as always, and a certain terrible trio might be making an appearance soon. Evenin TTX me bro. I concur, Duggan's Perfect Cross Body was probably one of the worst moves anyone has seen in years. His raw weight did the trick. So glad it's a fun read and you just made my night with the possibility of a future Terrible Trio sighting at Sunnyside Gardens!! More to follow my friend. Hope all is good by you & IB! |
