Marion Fonatine - Yes!...Yes!...you can put you're name right here on that poster!...because you know why?...Darn It!..



Mary Elizabeth Monroe - Why?...you know as well as I do that the Judge is one thing...but I can't do this!...it's no use!...



Marion Fontaine - You can because I!...am putting my name!...right next to your's!...on you're team!..



Mary Elizabeth Monroe (as her eyes started well up a touch) - You Are!...



Marion Fontaine (lost in her eyes - and with his nostrils flaring some now) - I Are!...Ahh...Dang It!...I Mean!...I Am!...




2.   Agent Dick J. Lahart (0 Fatigue) defeated Cymbal Monkey (1 Fatigue, Won The Opening Collar & Elbow) via Pinfall - with his Top Rope Armdrag maneuver at the 9:00 minute mark...




(Agent Dick J. Lahart waddled up to the Worlde Tag Team Chgampionship Tournament Entrants poster and laughed to himself...Cymbal Monkey actually had...the noi've...to put his name as a member on a team...it's no wonder he ain't got no partner...heh...heh...Lahart then thought it would be hysterical to right in the name..."Fatty Arbuckle"...next to Cymbal Monkey's...and he did...but then...Lahart saw something that wasn't very funny...The Judge is teaming with that big lommax Jackson...and not Lahart...)




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jollyville Jeeper Clean - I hate even signing...next to names...of politicians...can't trust em' as far as we can tr'ohh em...mind you...we can tr'ohh em...pretty far...

(Cymbal Monkey mustered up the courage to see if anyone wanted to team with him in The Championship Tournament...and got so excited when from a distance he saw someone's name written there...but when he got up close to read it...he just put on his bravest face...(dispite how crushed he really felt)...scratched lines through the joke name...and slowly walked to the lonliest corner of the warehouse arena...to be by himself)...




------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




Agent Dick J. Lahart - What Gives!...I thought we're a team!...You're Honor!...Jackson!??...



Judge Hugo Lexington Black (as he hands Lahart a black and white referee uniform) - We Are!...and I'm giving You!...The Greatest Honor!...Of Them All!...

(Cymbal Monkey faced the corner as he tried to console himself with a mug of the house root beer...but unbeknownst to him...someone actually did sign their name...(in earnest mind you)...next to his...as his as a partner for the Worlde Tag Team Championship Tournament)...



Voice From Behind - Hope you don't mind Cymbal Monkey...I put my name next to yours on the tornament sign in sheet...I'm a fan...I saw you when you used to be in P.T. Barnum's...you're the best acrobat I ever saw...I'd like to compete with you...

[Leon]

A month? Come on, you HAVE to post sooner than that! We wanna know who Cymbal Monkey's actual partner will be!

[TTX]

Sitting in the front row are a rather well dressed person with three equally well dressed ladies who ooze a combination of sexiness and darkness. "Go Jock Samson." they all cheered.

[Pariah]

Mr Cross & the Monkey Man... There's a song in there somewhere, I think. Too slick!

[awsomsinger]

RAZZMATAZZ!  Bring on the Thunderkitty Kissing Booth!  I'll be there with my new zoot suit! 

[Bri]

Sincerest Welcomes My Friends And Fellow Promoters!...Welcome to Mid-February 1929:

Hey Leon ! - Many thanks for being in the arena and being a part of Back In Olde'...up next at the bottom of this post is our very first issue of the "Top Turnbuckle Tribune"...with, (in addition to some other news), the official Worlde Tag Team Tournament teams and the overall pattern for the tourny...I hope it's enjoyable when it lands...

Hey TTX me bro! - I must say this up front...The well dressed man and his entourage of the three mysteriously stunning ladies have created a bit of an underground uproar amongst the fed...Going by the reported conversations between "Felino Blanco" Louis Lyndon & Dr. Jacob Omen with regards to owning money to somebody...I (and a few others) are wondering...could this man be him?...or them?...I guess it remains to be seen...

Hey brother Pariah - Mr. Cross & The Monkey Man absoultely sounds like a song that needs to be written...The Ballad of Mr. Cross & The Monkey Man, perhaps?...this vibe will also be resonating within the team name that they have picked for themselves...

Hey awsomsinger ! - Not to give too much away...but not all of the participants...or cast - if you will - have made their way yet to Blind Tiger Arena...but between you and me...I would start getting a shitload of dimes together...you won't be dissapointed...

Hey Valenswift ! - Thanks for the like my friend, to have people enjoy this is truly a blessing for me...


You all rock - but I'm sure you already knew that...without foither delay:

Booker & Our Usual Referee "Inky" Scoops - Also In Attendance Will Be None Other...Than Our Owner...The Honorable Chief Justice of The Supreme Court of The United States...Mr. William H. Taft!...And His Lovely Wife...Mrs. Helen Taft!...


In Other Parts - Sometimes Unknown:


Voice Coming Over A Radio In Chicago South Side Apartment - "Several people are still wanted...for any information in connection with last weeks brutal massacre...anyone...with any information...are advised to contact Mr. Elliot Ness's office directly..." - provided the backdrop as a muscular individual had just finished packing up a large burlap douffel bag...he threaded his baseball bat through its handles...and slung all of it over his shoulder on his way out of his apartment...

A Gentleman On A Passenger Liner Headed Across The Atlantic (as he writes in his journal) - I'm on my way to see The Taft's today...some dear old friends of the family...apparently they've finally done what they said they always wanted to do...start their very own professional wrestling company...jolly good fun...it all sounds like!...

Although Jollyville Jeeper Clean, "Old Timer" Jeff King and Representative Gavin Q. Volstead were all a little poorer...they all had a curious smile on their faces as they were inside their individual cars....and sped away from the area in which they had met someone else under cover of the night...inside the only car left...that of Agent Dick J. Lahart's car...was a little richer now...and boy oh boy...did he have an even greater smile on his face...as he sped away from the agreed upon meeting point...

[neilybob]

Another new fed Bri. looking cool my man.

[Pariah]

Let's go, CCR! Although my darker half is secretly rooting for Felino Blanco and the infamous Dr Omen...

Can't you hear that jingle, jangle sound?

Oh, yeah!

It's money, money, money
By the pound!

[TTX]

You never know....those girls might be the real power behind things. No one's said but for some reason, their lips tend to be very red.

[awsomsinger]

I've been to Muncie, that's a swell town.  Looking forward to taking another trip in the ol' Model T.  Get the coffee and sinkers ready!
