Team America vs. Team Mexico Six-Man Tag Team Match

Paul London, Billy Kidman & Ricochet vs. Aero Star, Laredo Kid & Extreme Tiger
Backstory: Team America is tired of the overall assumption and belief that Mexican luchadors fly higher, hit harder, and wrestle better overall than American cruiserweights do. They're out to prove that Team Mexico is just a trio of over-paid botch machines. Team Mexico is sick of the American cruiserweights constantly claiming their superiority over them without proving anything, and they're out to prove Team America wrong.

Matte Wrestling Federation Heavyweight Title Match
Jeff Hardy vs. BxB Hulk

[DevSop]

I love the tag title match. I think I'd have preferred London in something a bit more high profile. Maybe toss him in the heavyweight title match or the lightweight match against Pac. I also think its pretty cool to split up both Bad Breed and Public Enemy and put them against each other. I have no interest in seeing it, but its a cool idea. Shockingly, I think you're not using a few of the better guys that you drafted. Cash, Younger, Cheech and Cloudy are all guys I know I don't mind watching.

[Matte]

On London: I wanted the main event title match to be one-on-one, and I had Hardy vs. Hulk planned since the beginning. So I didn't want to throw him, or anyone else, into that match. I could have put him in the lightweight title match with PAC and Sugi, but a part of me is still stuck on London's former partnership and feud with Kidman. Some people didn't like it, but I've always liked what they did together, whether being partners or opponents. So I wanted to keep them together for my own likings.

I wanted to have Cheech and Cloudy as a team, but didn't see a tag match to put them into. I wanted the Hart vs. Hart match to stay just that, and they wouldn't really fit into the comedy tag match, either. And when I didn't have a quick and direct way to team them up, I just decided to drop them. I was thinking about having Younger somehow in the deathmatch, but overall just decided to keep it more simple and have a one-on-one, each guy with one guy accompanying them. Chri$ Ca$h, I've really only seen like a minute of him wrestling on YouTube and picked him when I didn't have anyone else in mind.

[DevSop]

You could always pick up one of Drake's partners that he trained with; Dustin Lee, Scotty Vortekz or xOMGx and have them face Cheech and Cloudy as your opener. And I understand wanting to keep Kidman/London together in some form so what I might have done is do a 1-night 4-person Lightweight Tournament. You could have done Pac/Sugi and London/Kidman in the first matches and then the winners face.

[Road Warrior Shark]

Here's where being old & not watching YouTube comes into play.... Haven't heard of or seen most of your guys. Color me suprised Jack Evans isn't main eventing....

I started out originally with separate tournaments. A tag title tournament, a hardcore title tournament, and a lightweight title tournament. PAC vs. Sugi was my planned final match for the lightweight tournament. But as I kept drafting and making more plans and moving people around, the entire tournaments idea got scrapped and I simplified my card into what it is now. I don't know if I would have rather stuck to my tournaments idea or if I like what I have now better. But from what I've seen on peoples' cards, tournament matches aren't being left out.

[DevSop]

Quick point of reference Matte; you don't have Lizzy Borden. You have Lizzy Valentine.

[Matte]

Oh, duh. I'll fix it.

[Mr. Dashbee]

I have to commend you for only having 7 matches. Having a roster of 40 lends itself to a HUGE card, and I've gained a greater appreciation for cards of 6-8 matches over the last 12 months. I'd rather see a well booked 8 match card over a 13 match card where some matches appear to be booked to get everyone on.

[Tommy]

So. Much. Flippiness....

[Matte]

Believe it or not, I actually tried to regulate the flippiness. The lightweight title match, of course, I wanted to be flippy. And I wanted the opening match to be flippy, fast-paced and exciting to get the crowd hyped. But even with that match, I put six flippy guys together so they weren't spread out over the rest of the card to highten the flippiness. And while Jack Evans and Ted Hart are super flippy, the idea behind the Hart vs. Hart match is what's supposeed to be more important. And the main event will have its fair share of flippiness, but still has its wrestling and showmanship.

I didn't say the flippiness was a bad thing.

[Matte]

Then thanks. I just know a lot of guys around here aren't big into the flippy stuff. So I was trying to put some stuff in there to appeal to them, too.

[DevSop]

Flippy is fine and good if it's not bad flippy. And you do have some bad flippy-highlighted by Kidman. But you have good flippy too; Hart, London, Evans, and Pac.

Seriously, it's just that first match with London/Kidman/Ricochet vs. Aero/Tiger/Laredo where the bad flippy is. But you really did avoid making it seem like a trampoline based fed.

I know you have roster space open and I just thought of an awesome team you could add to the comedy match. The Osirian Portal.

[Matte]

Just watched some of their stuff on YouTube, and I vote yes. Sorry if the new fatal four-way tag team picture breaks your board tables.

EDIT: Nevermind, the size gets reduced. And I only had to slightly change the backstory to that match. Thanks Sop.

Yea, I even dropped my leftovers battle royale match I was planning to do. Instead of having a match to make use of everyone on my roster, I dropped the people on my roster that I didn't have a use for. I gave myself a rule that I wouldn't have any more than eight matches total for my card, which is one reason why I did a more basic card over a card of tournaments like many are doing.

[BC]

You should have drafted Nurse B.B. to "treat" all the injuries that might likely occur at your show.

[Matte]

I doubt I make it out of the first round, but I'm working on promos and a card to follow this one just in case.

[Batman]

If you get out of the first round, you'll have to change the thread name....

[Matte]

Yea, one thing I'll have to work into a promo somehow is the expansion of the Single Night Showdown into spanning over more dates.

[DevSop]

Why? There were, what, 3 One Night Stands?

[Batman]

Good point.

Matte Wrestling Federation Lightweight Title Match
"The Man That Gravity Forgot" PAC vs. "The Legend of Hiraizumi" Yoshitsune

PAC and Yoshitsune exchange some quick kicks and flips for a minute before a stand off with applause. Then they really go at it. Each guy gets the upper hand a few times during the course of the match. Lazy writing at 4am forces you to imagine what these guys do.

He hooks the leg for the 3-count.

Matte Wrestling Federation Hardcore Title Death Match
Necro Butcher w/ Nick Gage vs. "Sick" Nick Mondo w/ Sexxxy Eddy

Necro and Mondo are in the ring, Gage and Eddy stand outside. This match turns into a straight garbage brawl, to no one's surprise. Light tubes, barbwire, staples. Everything's being used in this one. Lazy writing at 4am forces you to imagine what these guys do. Sexxxy Eddy has taken Nick Gage out of the equation with an imploding senton from the apron to the floor. With Necro down in the ring, Mondo and Eddy are making a table out of light tubes. Mondo slides back into the ring and brings Necro to the top rope, where he gets him in position, then Assault Driver from the top, through the light tube table to the floor!

Winner in 9:17 - "Sick" Nick Mondo

Winners in 11:53 - No contest via double count-out

After the bell, the crowd boos furiously. The Dynasty is limping up the ramp, while The Foundation is in the ring. Teddy Hart has a microphone.

Teddy Hart: David Hart Smith. Tyson Kidd. I knew that this match was going to get out of hand. I knew that you two faggots would do something to ruin it. Jack Evans, you tried to save it. I saw that, and I respect that. Next time we face off, guys, it's not going to end like it ended this time. Because next time, it's a falls count anywhere match. And falls will be counted any fucking place that Jack Evans and myself choose to have them. Next time, there's no pussying out. Balls to the fucking wall. And Jack Evans and myself, the Next Generation Hart Foundation, will prove that we are the best tag team in professional wrestling today, and that we are the future of tag team wrestling in this fucking business. So David Hart Smith. Tyson Kidd. We'll see you next time.

Comedy Filler Fatal Four-Way Tag Team Match
The Super Smash Brothers vs. Los Ice Creams vs. The Olsen Twins vs. The Osirian Portal

Two men start out, they can tag out to any man from any team. First man to score a pinfall wins the match for his team. Fast-forward through the wacky entrances. All four teams are in the ring. Player Uno and Ice Cream, Jr. are in the ring to start, but Jr. quickly tags out. Foreshadowing. Fast-forward through pauses and resumes, high-pitched cries, slow motion mat wrestling, and Egyptian dancing. The SSB pour ice cream sprinkles into the ring, then take out the Portal and occupy them on the outside, while Los Ice Creams quickly get the upper hand against the Olsens and chokeslam them into the sprinkles! They get the double cover.

Winners in 05:52 - Los Ice Creams

Hardy counters that and hits the Twist of Fate! Hardy goes to the apron and calls for the Swanton. As he's climbing to the top, Paul London runs down and ramp at full speed. He jumps up to the top rope and hits Hulk with a huge SSP, halfway across the ring! The ref calls for the bell.

Winner in 16:38 - BxB Hulk via DQ

After the bell, Hardy is pissed. He goes to grab London, but London ducks it and goes through the ropes to the outside and runs halfway up the ramp before turning around. He grins in accomplishment as we fade to black.
