Howard Finkel: Ladies and gentlemen - presented by Abraham Washington - the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING FEDERATION!

Please welcome to the ring - ABRAHAMMMMMMM WASHINGTON!



[OOC: Best entrance video I could find. You can just watch til about the 1:10 mark. The rest is pretty horrible.]

Abraham Washington: What's up people? You are witnessing history in the making, if you know what I'm saying. I have creating my own wrestling company, featuring some of the top stars in history! Now, our company is about that thing we call WRESTLING, if you know what I'm saying. We won't be having DIVA SEARCHES, we won't be having lame talk shows - in fact, I'm hoping you won't see that much of me, if you know what I'm saying. The only reason I'm here today is to introduce you to the NCWF All-Star Roster and to introduce you to our very first wrestling show!

Our first wrestling show will featuring great tag team action and a wonderful main event! This show, NCWF I: the Rumble In The Bronx, will be broadcast live from New York on the USA Network, NBC, and, my favorite, BET!

So, allow me to introduce who I've deemed to be the top four tag teams in the NCWF! Mr. Finkel, if you will!

Howard Finkel: Ladies and gentlemen, introducing first - Ultimo Guerrero and Rey Bucanero - Los Guerreros del Infierno!



Howard Finkel: Now introducing - Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes - The Havana Pitbulls!



(I know this isn't their theme song but it's the first thing that came up when I typed in the team name in Youtube.)

Howard Finkel: Introducing the team of Danny Doring and ROADKILL!



Howard Finkel: Entering last, accompanied by Eve Torres, the team of Joey Matthews and Christian York!



(They get the MNM video because that is going to be their characters.)

Abraham Washington: Alright guys, for our first big show, the Rumble in the Bronx, I've got something that is going to be OFF THE CHAIN, if you know what I mean. You see, I've determined that you are the top four contenders for the NCWF World Tag Team Championships! And it wouldn't be fair if I just HANDED the titles over to one of you like SOME COMPANIES seem do like doing. That wouldn't be fly, if you know what I'm saying. No, no, I've determined that ALL four of these deserving teams will be fighting for the NCWF World Tag Team Championships at NCWF III!

Joey Matthews: Whoa, whoa, whoa....So we're all going to be fighting for the tag team titles - but NOT at the first show?

Abraham Washington: That's right. You see, at the Rumble in the Bronx, we're going to have a 4 team tournament. The Havana Pitbulls will face Matthews and York in the opening match. Danny Doring and Roadkill will face Los Guerrero Del Infierno in the second match. And right before the main event, the winners of those matches will face off!

Rocky Romero: And what is the point of this tournament if no titles are on the line?

Abraham Washington: The winners of this tournament will get to decide the stipulation for the MAIN EVENT at NCWF III! You see, we take our championships seriously here at the NCWF, and we know that the match to determine the tag team champions is going to be OFF THE CHAIN, if you know what I mean - so if one of these teams win the tournament - THEY will decide what kind of match the tag team championships will be determined in - AND it's gonna be tight! What kind of match will the winners of this tournament want to fight in? A cage match? Extreme rules? We'll find out at the Rumble in the Bronx! Now, if you'll excuse me gentlemen, I've got to announce our main event.

And you see, our main event at the Rumble in the Bronx will determine the inaugural NCWF World Heavyweight Champion!

Now, when people look back in wrestling history, when people think of favorite moments in wrestling, a lot of people look back to the beginning of 1992, if you know what I'm saying. A World Championship was on the line in a great match, and it was a match for the ages! And one will happen in the Bronx! To determine the NCWF World Heavyweight Champion, our main event will be a 20 Man ROYAL RUMBLE!

*big pop*

Abraham Washington: And now only that, but the eventual winner will face the eventual runner up on the event in the main event at NCWF II: DIE HARDER!

You see, in the NCWF, we will get you excited about the present and the future! The implications of NCWF I: Rumble in the Bronx will be felt for years and years to come!

So, make sure you tune in NCWF I: Rumble in the Bronx!

[Mr. Dashbee]

This feels like an old school Royal Rumble card, with only 5 matches. I always liked those. Good stuff.

[Eric O'Mac]

Thanks GB. The important thing I want to stress here is, much like you, I have a plan for 5 shows. The 5th show is going to be a spectacular all-star show (if I make it there). This show is the start up, but as I've presented in the card, I've set up the main events for the next two shows based on the results on this card and I promise, they won't disappoint.

[DevSop]

This may get a vote from me. I really like the tag tournament teams and I know HBK, Lesnar, and Saturn for sure can bring the goods. It's tough though because voting for a battle royal is iffy to me. But I like the build and I like the potential future cards.

[Demko]

Yeah, the Rumble idea is a little iffy in my mind. I think I would have built up to the Rumble in the second or third card. On the first card, it almost seems like a cop-out. I know you don't intend it that way, and I'm sure you have a long-term plan. I would have just made the Rumble PART of that long-term plan.

[Sportsguy]

I LOVE this card. Good stuff

[Road Warrior Shark]

I love battle Royals. They beat tournaments hands down.

Oh, trust me, the Rumble is PART of my long term plan. As I've noted, the final two participants will main event the second card, and other feuds will stem from what happens in the Rumble.

But thanks for the comments, and all of the other feedback I've gotten.

[Eric O'Mac]

Alright, good news bad news situation.

The Bad News: My hard drive on my laptop got completely fucked up last night and it's done. Finished. I lost everything on it. Important documents, music, everything. Including my results for this card.

The Good News: I'm not an idiot (at least, not anymore.) This has happened before. The only difference is, I backed up everything. Instead of losing 100% of everything. I only lost about 5% of everything. I can live with that.

The Bad News: My Rumble write-up is part of that 5%.

The Good News: Although I'm not going into full detail like I did, I'm going to try to give you the results of the card the best way I could....

So, the NCWF will now like to present NCWF I - Rumble In The Bronx!

Entrant Number 6: Eddie Gilbert.

"Hot Stuff" comes to the ring, and waits outside of it, picking his moment to get in. HBK has downed Juvi for the moment, and when HBK turns his back, Gilbert attacks. He gets in a few shots. Meanwhile, Juvi has recovered and is helping Guido try to eliminate Bulldog, but to no avail.

Entrant Number 7: Kevin Sullivan.

The leader of Sullivan's Slaughterhouse comes into the ring with a bad look on his face. He gets in the ring, and starts wailing on HBK along with Gilbert. Bulldog has now fought off Juvi and is trying to elminate Guido. Juvi, letting bygones be bygones, attempts to help him, but Guido is wrapped around that top rope.

Entrant Number 8: Barry Windham

Windham, the newest member of the NCWF roster, comes in, and pulls Gilbert off of HBK, leading to a huge pop from the crowd, HBK is also fighting back and delivers a Big Superkick to Kevin Sullivan, who flips out of the ring and is ELIMINATED.

Entrant Number 9: Abdullah The Butcher

Abdullah enters the ring, looking for revenge for his fallen boss. He reaches into his pocket and produces a fork! He goes to jab everyone in sight! HBK goes down! Guido goes down! Gilbert goes down! Juvi goes down! Bulldog goes down! Everyone is down!

Entrant Number 10: JT Smith

JT Smith runs into the ring. As soon as he gets in, Abdullah jabs him with the fork, causing JT to flip over the top rope, ELIMINATED. JT lands on his head as the crowd chants " You fucked up!" Drew Carey, on commentary, mentions that he lasted in the Rumble longer than that.

Abdullah, who didn't see this coming, tries to cover up, but Blackman hits some vicious shots, which has Abdullah hanging on the ropes! Blackman hits Abdullah one more time, drops the kendo stick, and along with Eddie Gilber, they go to clothesline him over the top rope! Abdullah has been ELIMINATED!

Blackman shouts something like "Don't fuck me, motherfucker." down to the Butcher, but before he can turn around, Eddie Gilbert flips Blackman out of the ring. Blackman has been eliminated!

Entrant Number 12: Psicosis

Psicosis, also wearing his traditional Mexican mask, goes after Guido. Meanwhile, HBK and Windham's short alliance has ended as they are trading shots, and for some reason, Juvi is now going after Bulldog again. Gilbert is alone, so he rolls underneath the bottom rope (which is legal) and plans his next move.

Entrant Number 13: Perry Saturn.

Perry Saturn, looking mean as ever, gets in the ring, and immedietely suplexes Windham out of his boots! HBK also gets a suplex for his troubles. Saturn then meanders over to where Bulldog and Gudio are now fighting delievers a clubbing blow to Bulldog! Bulldog blocks another shot and throws Saturn over the top ropoe!......BUT SATURN SKINS THE CAT! Bulldog doesn't notice this and is shocked when Saturn lifts him up from behind in a fireman carry position and attempts to dump him over! Bulldog holds on to the ropes....and stereo dropkicks from Juvi and Psicosis knock Saturn over the ropes, where both Bulldog and Saturn are hanging on for dear life!

Entrant Number 14: Jack Swagger

The All-American American comes to the ring next and starts throwing around Juvi. Windham also goes after Psicosis, allowing Bulldog and Saturn to find their footing on the ring apron and to return to the ring. Psicosis is delivering some shots to Windham and jumps off the second rope to attempt a springboard something, but we'll neverfind out because WHAM! Superkick from HBK to Psicosis sends Psicosis over the top and out of the ring. Psicosis in eliminated! Bulldog and Saturn resume their brawling.

Entrant 16: Rick Steiner

The Dog Faced Gremlin gets in the ring and is helping Barry Windham try to eliminate HBK. However, Jack Swagger is bumped into Steiner and Windham, causing them to turn their attention to Swagger. HBK rolls back into the ring. Juvi and Gudio are still battling near the ropes when Eiddie Gilbert slips back into the ring and dumps them both over! LITTLE GUIDO AND JUVENTUD GUERRERA HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED.

Gilbert laughs and turns around, only to meet a SWEET CHIN MUSIC by HBK, knocking Gilbert over the top rope! EDDIE GILBERT HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

Gilbert, furious, shows his anger. Gilbert decides to stay at ringside, taking a seat at the announce table, but not on commentary.

Entrant 17: Jamie Noble

Entrant 19: Black Tiger IV

Brock pairs up with Saturn as HBK and Bulldog go to battle. Saturn is getting some good shots in on Lesnar, and HBK, the first entrant, is really taking some abuse from the Bulldog. Davey Boy kicks the ever-loving crap out of Shawn. He sends Shawn over with a clothesline, but Shawn holds on and skins the cat. Bulldog, perhaps not learning from his mistakes, doesn't notice, and HBK tips him over the top rope! THE BRITISH BULLDOG HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

HBK goes to deliver a match ending clothesline, but when he bounces off the opposite rope, he is tripped up....BY EDDIE GILBERT!

He picks HBK up in a military slam position and presses HBK OUT OF THE RING! SHAWN MICHAELS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED!

WINNER and NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW NCWF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION: BROCK LESNAR! (54:67)

Postmatch, Eddie Gilbert gets in the ring to hold up Lesnar's hand in victory. He he soon joined by Jack Swagger, Joey Matthews, Christian York, and Eve as Gilbert gets on the microphone.

Gilbert: You see, what we have here is the most dominant force in the NCWF. Not only do we have the best tag team, not only do we have the best upcoming wrestling - but we have the most dominant wrestler in the wrestling world and in the world of mixed martial arts today! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, the NEW....HOT STUFF INTERNATIONAL INC!

The crowd boos the ever living shit out of Hot Stuff International, Inc.

End show.

[Mr. Dashbee]

Nice job. Writing a Royal Rumble is a tall order, and you delivered. EXALT!

[The Jewish Cunthead]

Great work, E.

[DevSop]

Its not as good as another Hot Stuff International that was created here at Puns; but it's damn good.

Awesome show.

[Eric O'Mac]

NCWF II: DIE HARDER PRE-SHOW

"Sexy Boy" hits the PA system and Shawn Michaels comes out to a big ovation. He gets in the ring and grabs a ring microphone.

HBK: Thank you, thank you. At the NCWF Rumble in the Bronx last month, I earned a World Heavyweight Title shot!

Now, sure, I didn't win the match. And, truth be told, I would have liked to have won the World Heavyweight Title. And some people will say "Hey, Shawn, you lasted in that match nearly an hour!" Which is true, because I was in the ring the entire match, while the winner was only in the ring for about 20 minutes. And some people will say "Shawn, you had the match won - if it wasn't for that darn Eddie Gilbert." And they'd be right too. We all know I was going to eliminate Brock Lesnar and that it took a well placed grab of the leg from Mr. Eddie Gilbert to stop that from happening.

Well, you know something people - I don't make excuses. Brock won that match. I get him one on one at the next event. We'll see who the better man is then - I don't care how many wrestling titles he won, I don't care how many MMA fights he's been in - he'll NEVER be the showstopper.....THE MAIN EVENT.....THE ICON.....quite the same way that I am....and I intend on proving it at Die Harder.

Brock Lesnar and Eddie Gilbert come out to rebut.

Gilbert: Shawn...I personally think that you are just a whiny bitch and you don't DESERVE a shot at Brock Lesnar. You don't DESERVE to get in the ring with the best. But, we'll humor you. I know you're a tremendous athlete. But you are getting in the ring with a man who is not only a former amatuer wrestling champion. He's not only a former wrestling champion. He's a current MMA champion and one of the toughest men in the world. He doesn't NEED to be the face of the NCWF - but he likes the attention. And to tell the truth, so do I. So bring your A-Game to Die Harder, Shawn. Just don't be too disappointed when Brock pounds you to the ground.

*The rest of the angles leading up to the show will be posted tomorrow of Thursday.*

[Eric O'Mac]

Alright, I'm going to use the same format that the guy at "What If Steamboat beat Hogan" counterfactual blog uses to discuss his angles.

World Title: Brock Lesnar (c) w/ Eddie Gilbert vs. Shawn Michaels

The angle here is that Brock Lesnar is champion and Shawn Michaels wants to be champion. Pretty simple. HBK earned this shot by being the runner-up in the Rumble. Brock Lesnar won the title in the Rumble, and it was revealed that Eddie Gilbert is his manager. Brock's character is a hybrid of his WWE character and what he portrays in the UFC. He's "The Next Big Thing" He's a damn dominant wrestler. And in a shootfight, he'll rip your ass apart. Gilbert is playing the Paul Heyman role here, only with a little flexibility, because Gilbert can actually wrestle. Gilbert is a sneaky bastard, though, and that was shown in the Rumble match.

HBK plays his current role. Not really a pain in the ass anymore, and he'll put on a match of the year candidate nearly every time he wrestles.

Saturn vs. Bulldog vs. Windham

This is for the number one contenders spot. Saturn and Bulldog were in the Final Four, which is why they are fighting - Windham was thrown in there at the last minute for no reason and Saturn and Bulldog are a little pissed about it. Saturn is a bit of a tweener. He's kind of like Taz here - just a suplex machine, and he's a mean son of a bitch. Bulldog is also a tweener - fans like him because he's a damn good wrestler, but they don't go crazy for him. Windham is a full blown face for the time being. Saturn and Bulldog will probably form a loose alliance, but won't hesitate to kick the shit out of each other either.

Eight Man Elimination Tag Team Match

This match features the two teams that made the finals in the Rumble tournament face the two teams that didn't make it out of the first round. It's a very strange pairing, because the hottest face tag team is teaming with the most hated heel tag team. Los Guerreros Del Infierno are superfaces. They put on a great amtches and they have that "Rey Mysterio" vibe around them that makes them likeable. Matthews and York are the exact opposite. They are very hated. They are aligned with Eddie Gilbert, and make up the tag team part of Gilbert's Hot Stuff International, Inc. They play basically the same role as MNM would, with Eve Torres playing the part of Melina.

That team faces Doring, Roadkill, and the Havana Pitbulls. Danny Doring and Roadkill are henchmen for Kevin Sullivan's stable, Sullivan's Slaughterhouse. They are a good tag team, if not a little out of their league with the rest of the tag team division, but they hold up their end well. More on their stable in a bit. They team with the Havana Pitbulls, Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes. These guys are tweeners. They put on good matches, but there is something about Romero that makes him seem, I don't know, a little out of it during some of their matches. It's not because he's drugged up or anything, he's probably just exhausted, because he's also Black Tiger IV, and no one else knows.

This match is for nothing really. Just a kickass showcase for the four best tag teams in the NCWF leading up to their TLC main event (the stipulation that was chosen by Matthews and York) at NCWF III: The Last Crusade.

Abdullah vs. Blackman

This is probably the most fun angle I'll write, just because I'm a Steve Blackman mark.

OK, so, back to Sullivan's Slaughterhouse. At The Rumble. Sullivan revealed the Abdullah The Butcher was his monster and he wanted to shed the blood of the NCWF roster. Which, in the Rumble, Abdullah did, using a fork to jab the fuck out of everyone in the match. And he did that until Steve Blackman came out and whooped the shit out of Abby with a kendo stick. Sullivan feels embarrassed and wants Abdullah to end Blackman once and for all, Blackman says "It's Party Time!" and is ready to whoop some ass. This is a Hardcore, Falls Count Anywhere match. The feud is actually Sullivan vs. Blackman, but that's a match we won't see until at least NCWF IV: A New Hope.

Intercontinental Title Tournament

And to kick off the unveiling of the NCWF's third championship, the Intercontinental Championship. The IC Title will be similar to how Paul Heyman envisioned the ECW TV Title, the ROH Pure Title, and what the current IC/US Titles should be. It's a championship to showcase the best pure talent in the company. They'll usually put on one of the best matches on the show. While the IC Title isn't necessarlly the number one contender to the World Title, it does signal that they are among the best in the company. Basically, the workhorse championship.

I have eight participants lined up. Quarterfinal Matches are at NCWF II: Die Harder, Semi-Finals will be at NCWF III: The Last Crusade, and the Finals will be at NCWF IV: A New Hope. I should also note that the Finals of this tournament will be 2 out of 3 falls, and will probably either main event the show or be a semi-main event.

Jack Swagger is facing Jamie Noble - Swagger is the last member of Hot Stuff Itnernation, Inc. He's already ana ccomplished wrestler, but he's following in Brock's footsteps. Noble is the NCWF's version of Benoit, without the killing of his family. Noble works hard, puts on damn good matches, and is highly respect by the fans.

Juventud Guerrera and Yuji Nagata face off. Juvi is also a super face, similar to Bucanero and Ultimo Guerrero. Nagata is kind of a tweener. This match is be a styles clash.

Psicosis vs. Guido. Psicosis is adored by the fans, but he doesn't act like it. Guido, with JT and Stamboli, are comedy heels. Guido will wrestle a damn good match and plays the straight guy to the comedic JT Smith (who will fuck up every move he attempts) and Stamboli (who might break his ass the same way he did in WCW)

Shinzaki vs. Black Tiger IV - We've mentioned that Black Tiger IV and Rocky Romero are the same person, but we don't know this. Both wrestlers are highly accomplished. Black Tiger Iv is a full heel, while Shinzaki kind of plays the same role as Nagata.

As for wrestlers left off the card:

Rick Steiner will probably make an appearence on the show in some capacity, and will be wrestling at NCWF III.

Johnny Hotbody and Dark Patriot, Doug Gilbert will probably not make any big time appearances. I might use Doug with his brother, but I doubt it.

Julio Dinero, I actually like. Unfortunately, there are a lot of guys ahead of him in the pecking order. Dinero will hopefully get used. I'd like him to at least above Hotbody and DP.

I am working on a trade for the next round that, if we both advance, will affect NCWF III and NCWF IV in a big way.

And....I wanted to get feedback on the names of my shows. I haven't gotten a name for NCWF V (and I hope I make it that far) but the rest I rather like. I'm sure most of you see what I'm going for here, and if you do, maybe you can suggest a name for NCWF V (if I make it that far).

NCWF I: The Rumble In The Bronx
NCWF II: Die Harder
NCWF III: The Last Crusade
NCWF IV: A New Hope

Thanks for reading guys.

[Batman]

Great show. I love and miss Blackman.

LAST TIME...ON NCWF WRESTLING!

ATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP WRESTLING FEDERATION


PRESENTS: NCWF V: BALBOA


Opening Tag Team Contest: The Havana Pitbulls (Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes) vs. Jinsei Shinzaki and Yuji Nagata


Backstory: None. This is an unofficial Number One Contenders Match for the tag team titles. The Pitbulls want a shot at the tag team titles - Nagata and Shinzaki are a new team. This match is mostly for the fans, but could have implications on the next challenegers for the tag team titles.

Highlights: Fun opening tag team match. Shinzaki and Nagata work well as a team. After about fifthteen minutes, Nagata throws Romero out of the ring and leaps through the ropes, hitting Romero with a suicide dive. Alone in the ring, Shinzaki catches Reyes with Koyo Otashi (Crucifix Powerbomb) for the upset victory!

Winners: Jinsei Shinzaki and Yuji Nagata (Jinsei Shinzaki pins Ricky Reyes, 15:42)

Match 2: The Hardcore Gauntlet


Backstory: Kevin Sullivan started his own stable upon the creation of the NCWF: Sullivan's Slaughterhouse. The members of this stable were himself, Danny Doring, Roadkill, and Abdullah the Butcher. At the Royal Rumble match, Sullivan entered himself and Abdullah into the match, knowing that Abdullah would have a great chance of winning based on size and violence tendencies. Sullivan was eliminated by the time Abby entered the match, but Abdullah came in, stabbing everyone with a fork. He went on a rampage, looking like a surefire contender. Soon after, Steve Blackman came in and neutralized Abdullah with a weapon of his own: the kendo stick. Several kendo stick shots later, Blackman, along with Eddie Gilbert, was able to eliminated Abdullah, enraging Sullivan.

Sullivan, feeling that his stable was embarrassed by Blackman's actions, signed Abdullah up for a match with Blackman at NCWF II: Die Harder. Blackman was able to defeat Abdullah in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Sullivan, again enraged, began to attack Abdullah. Abdullah attacked back, but fell to Sullivan's newest member of Sullivan's Slaughterhouse, Rick Steiner.

Abdullah the Butcher was soon traded for Bobby Lashley. Sullivan, not satisfied, signed Steiner up for a Falls Count Anywhere match with Blackman at NCWF III: The Last Crusade. Blackman was able to defeat Steiner as well. Sullivan, along with Doring and Roadkill, attacked Steiner, leading to Blackman saving Steiner from a beatdown. This led to a Falls Count Anywhere Tag Team match, with Blackman and Steiner teaming up to face Doring and Roadkill. Sullivan's Slaughterhouse got the win at NCWF IV: A New Hope after Sullivan's interference.

After the match, Blackman got on the mic and challenged Sullivan to a match. Sullivan insisted that if Blackman wanted to face Sullivan so badly, he would go through Danny Doring and Roadkill first, running the "Hardcore Gauntlet." To counter the Slaughterhouse's numbers, Rick Steiner will second Steve Blackman, ensuring no interference will occur.

This match represents the longest running feud in the NCWF. Blackman wants to defeat Sullivan once and for all, Sullivan wants to do likewise, and Doring and Roadkill want to finish this up to get back to the tag team division. This feud will be settled TONIGHT!

Highlights: First up is Danny Doring. Steve Blackman defeats him in about 5 minutes after several kendo stick shots to the head.
Second up is Roadkill. Sullivan attempts interference, but Steiner holds him at bay. Blackman delivers a DDT off the entrance ramp, earning the victory.
Last is Kevin Sullivan. Sullivan immediately goes to attack Blackman, but Blackman delievers an ass whooping and pins him.

Winner: Steve Blackman (pinfall, 15:49)

The Juice makes it known that HBK is at or below the weight limit to be a heavyweight, and as such, Guerrera feels that HBK should forfeit his heavyweight title and move down a weight class. HBK says is not giving up his championship. Guerrera then says if HBK won't give up his championship, he'll just have to take it. HBK says he never backs down from a challenge, but if he is going to put something on the line, then Juvi needs to put his title on the line as well.

Palmer Cannon comes out and tries to dissaude both men from challenging each other. He wants both titles to be equal, similar to the way all of the UFC World Titles are equal.

Juvi says "When's the last time in wrestling a Crusierweight Championship was on the same page at a Heavyweight Championship? Never! But that will change when The Juice takes and unifies both titles to become the World Undisputed Champion!"

HBK says "I have all the respect in the world for the Crusierweight Championship. They have great competitors and wonderful matches. With that being said, I don't say no to a challenge.
