I certainly didn't expect to see Mohammed Yone standing tall and alone at the end of your show! You have a really cool thing going though, curious to see how it plays out.

Card for Beach Club Pro's First Show Sam's Town Hotel & Gambling Hall 8/8/2000 Maunakea Mossman & Tatsuhito Takaiwa Vs. Satoshi Kojima & Ikuto Hidaka Rey Bucanero & Ultimo Guerrero Vs. Simon Diamond & Johnny Swinger World Title Tournament First Round (Barbed-Wire Whip Match): CW Anderson Vs. Justice Pain World Title Tournament First Round: Tom Howard Vs. Tomohiro Ishii World Title Tournament First Round (10,000 Thumbtacks Match): Vampiro Vs. John Zandig World Title Tournament First Round: "Dr. Death" Steve Williams Vs. Manabu Nakanishi

August 2nd, 2000 They would have expected for him to show up late to his own event, but as the last reporters filed into the Pioneer Room at Sam’s Town Hotel & Casino off the Vegas strip, there sat Dennis Rodman, unexpectedly seated and ready to kick off his major announcement. Behind him stood men in suits, though Rodman donned his typical sunglasses and casual wear. The squeak of his flip flops as he bounced his right foot indicated he had just come back from the pool. “Y’all sit down, I wanna get this shit started.” Rodman spoke into the microphone with his familiar voice. With everyone seated, Rodman began. “Thank you all for being here. This is new for me, to be callin’ a press conference like this. I ain’t never done anything like this, but I’m ready to take a chance. All my life I’ve been taking a chance, from growing up, to the NBA, to the things y’all write about me in the papers. Back when I was kid, I wasn’t good enough to play ball. I tried, but I didn’t amount to shit - until I did. Then I gave almost 20 years to that game, and I missed so much. That’s why you’ve seen me do all kinds a things. I’m almost 40 years old, man. I gotta do something different.” “I love professional wrestling. I’ve loved it since I was a child growing up in Dallas. We used to get to see those Von Erichs, and I got to see Iceman Parsons and The Freebirds. I never got to go, but I loved it. When I worked with WCW three years ago, with Hogan and them, I knew this was the world I needed to move into. Wrestling got so hot it boiled over. The bubble burst. And I’m gonna blow that bubble back up.” “I’m here to officially announce that I have secured a semi-permanent home here at Sam’s Town to produce a new wrestling program. Right now, we have the funding to run shows here - but we’re looking beyond the borders of Vegas. Right now, you see a lot of new companies starting up in the USA, in Australia, back up in Japan. The next generation wants to create something new in wrestling, something that ain’t never been seen before, and I’m ‘bout that. Las Vegas is already the place to be for the nightlife, for the party, for boxing. Starting today, with y’all as my witness - Las Vegas is the new home for professional wrestling, Rodman style.” “Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you: Beach Club Pro.” “Yeah, the name’s a little funky. A little off kilter - that’s how we want it. You interested? Well then we did the damn job. Now the thing is, I wouldn’t know what I was doing if I was doing this alone. So I brought in one of my childhood icons to help me out. He’ll be relocating from Florida here to Vegas for this opportunity, but what the Worm was to basketball, this man was to professional wrestling for almost 40 years. The man in charge of the day to day operations - ladies and gentleman, “The Exotic” Adrian Street.” Adrian Street, ever the provocateur, walked out to applause from the sea of reporters who had not seen him in quite some time. Donning a purple “Sgt. Pepper’s” style coat and a freshly shorn bald head, he didn’t look quite like the glam icon of years past - but his small frame still cut an imposing figure. Street took to the microphone in his Welsh drawl: “Thanks Dennis. Ya see folks, this is a big opportunity here. Dennis contacted me at my wrestling school a few months ago and told me his vision for a new style of professional wrestling. I was skeptical at first, but when he could discuss matches of mine in Mid-South, obscure angles from World Class, and what he liked about his time in WCW, I thought I should hear him out.” Street continued, “He then told me about some of this stuff someone sent him out of the Philadelphia area. All this stuff with weapons, with barbed-wire, whatever these jokers could get their hands on. It’s a new world out there, and it took me a minute to get used to it, but the way the crowds reacted? That hasn’t been seen in decades. I told him, ‘Dennis, we gotta find these guys before somebody else does.’” A brief highlight video played on the screen behind Dennis and Adrian, grainy footage of guys jumping off ladders, putting their opponents through tables, twisting them up in barbed-wire, a shot of someone going through a pane of glass. Dennis took the microphone back from Adrian, “But we also knew we wanted to feature the hardest hitting wrestlers in the world. Wrestling is beautiful, but it’s violent, right? Weapons are violence, blood is violence. But two people using their physical prowess to try and overpower the other? That’s beauty. That’s violence. It’s beautiful violence. And the next person I want to introduce helped me fill this roster the way I wanted. He’s a legend in America and in Japan and will be working from Japan on talent acquisition...and venue acquisition. Because we are going to Japan, baby. You better believe it. Ladies and Gentleman, the great Masa Saito.” The crowd is overcome with a loud gasp at the appearance of the recently retired wrestler. Hulking behind Dennis, he has a slight tremor in his demeanor, but is able to speak in rudimentary English. “Thank you Mr. Rodman. I am happy to help rebuild wrestling in Japan. And I believe that with the vision between Mr. Rodman, Mr. Street and myself, we can do that. I have signed some of the best young and veteran talent in Japan for Beach Club Pro and you will see them soon. Thank you.” The crowd roars with applause, but Rodman holds up his hands to quiet them down. “So what’s next? Haha, man...How ‘bout a lil’ tournament? We gonna kick off Beach Club Pro right. Starting next week, and over the next four weeks - we’re gonna get a little wild. A little crazy. And we’re gonna crown our first champion.” Applause from the reporters. Adrian is handed the microphone. “Two brackets. Eight men in each. One bracket, the “Strong” bracket. Each match will have a 20-minute time limit, pinfall, submissions and knockout only. The other, the “Death” bracket. Each match will be contested under a different set of rules each time. Expect blood.” “In the “Strong” bracket, we will see a Hawaiian wrestler, known for his impressively violent bouts in Japan take on the man with the strongest arm, also from Japan, when Maunakea Mossman takes on Satoshi Kojima. We will see the former Green Beret Tom Howard take on the young, hard-hitting Tomohiro Ishii. The West Texas Redneck and veteran force Kendall Windham take on the most dominant UFC fighter alive Don Frye and in a battle of two of the biggest men in the competition, the man formerly known as Kurosawa, Manabu Nakanishi will take on one of the most decorated American wrestlers of all-time when he faces none other than “Dr. Death” Steve Williams." Huge applause at that last announcement. “In the “Death” bracket, we will see former ECW star, the technically sound CW Anderson, despite his protestations, fight one of the most intense people you will ever see in the wrestling ring, Justice Pain. A man on his way to becoming a legend in Japan, Tomoaki Honma will fight the unhinged, death-defying Ric Blade. The ever popular Vampiro, unafraid of pain, will try his hand at the world of extreme as he takes on a man who might not even feel pain in John Zandig. And in our last match of the bracket, “Sick” Nick Mondo currently has no opponent, as a VISA issue has removed the chance of his planned opponent showing up. When we nail down the opponent, we will make sure to announce it through all avenues.” Suddenly, the door to the conference busts open, causing the reporters to turn their heads and look. Who walks through? K-Dogg, Konnan, in shades and a flannel. “Ay, fuckin’ Rodman, man. You ain’t gotta look any further for this prick, Sick Nick to get his ass beat. I got ya boy right here.” Konnan motions behind him and out walks a broad chested man with shoulder-length black hair. “Yeah yeah, this is Ricky Banderas ‘ese. He’s from Puerto Rico, eh? And that title? Is his. ARRIBA LA RAZA!” Konnan throws up a hand sign and does a “cut throat” motion, before turning with Banderas and walking back out the room. Everyone reshuffles in the room to find Rodman standing, smiling. “Hope y’all ready for Beach Club Pro.” With that, Rodman shakes hands with Adrian Street and Masa Saito and the three men walk out.

Suzuki Army is TOUGH

One of the most underrated talkers in the history of the sport! Perfect addition.

An unscheduled roundtable/rotating guest podcast to discuss the fun in pro wrestling without really reviewing the matches, historical significance, or drawing power of anything. An opportunity for comedy and/or people to talk about favorites and/or “out there” ideas without repercussion or high level analysis. A focus on nostalgia, challenges, product enjoyment & taste level for everyone out there. Topics will change through many different style things from conceptual fantasy drafts (wrestlers, matches, concepts) to rebooking past storylines/years, to “mixtape” and conceptual “playlist” creation. Essentially, trying to take almost all large scale “objective” discourse away from wrestling and just talking about the thing we love in confined and defined ways. Twitter: @wwfantasia https://worldwrestlingfantasia.podiant.co/ Episode 1: Ultimate Halloween Havoc Draft (w/ Drew Wardlaw) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/world-wrestling-fantasia/id1485077001 (RSS feed available at above Podiant Link) Welcome to World Wrestling Fantasia (@wwfantasia), a new podcast by Andy LaBarre, formerly of Fightning Network Friends - taking wrestling consumption into a whole new (and nerdy) direction. World Wrestling Fantasia plans to give you episode after episode of niche fantasy drafts, games, mixtape creations, lists, and more - taking the analytics out of wrestling, ramping up the nostalgia and just having fun. In this first episode, we keep things seasonal as Andy and his good friend Drew (@_burningspirits) “compete” against each other to craft their ideal 10-match Halloween Havoc card from the past. The rules are simple: A wrestling can only wrestling once per card, a title can only be defended once per card, and everything else is open. The two have a blast reminiscing about some of their all time favorite WCW PPV’s and make some odd draft picks along the way. As stated multiple times during the episode, Andy is working on editing together video for the two cards that were created here. Please follow World Wrestling Fantasia on Twitter (@wwfantasia) for links to those files. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE EDITED VIDEOS ON THE PINNED POST ON THE TWITTER FEED. Enjoy!

Not going to use the faketweet thing here, but just wanted to post a card: ECW: The Return. Show #3 Friday - 2/8/19 2300 Arena Aramis Vs. El Lindaman Alex Colon Vs. Demus 3:16 Chris Dickinson Open Challenge Moose w/Stokely Hathaway Vs. Anthony Henry LAX Vs. 2 Cold Scorpio & B-Boy Shingo Takagi Vs. Biff Busick + Special Announcements from Tommy Dreamer

Oh man legit didn’t know he had a Cult of Lee stable in Impact, hahahahah. I’ll have to look up who was in that! My idea with him is sort of based on some fantasy Steve Corino booking I did back in 1999 or 2000 where he controlled Super Crazy and Tajiri (pre “the network”). This actually will probably not be my main heel stable in the long run but will be sort of the agents of chaos (maybe akin to the Dudleys). I wanted 3 very different, foreign wrestlers who are all kind of psychotic in their own ways. PCO as the big bruiser, Demus as the insane wild card who will like light someone on fire and Lindaman as the dude who will actually wrestle anyone.

ECW SURPRISE SHOW #2 2/1/19 ECW ARENA, Philadelphia, PA The second, limited seating "pop-up" show for the new ECW took place on Friday, February 1st to a "sold-out" crowd, that turned away hundreds. Tommy Dreamer addressed the crowd to to start the show, encouraging them that ECW was back, that wrestling was back, that hardcore was back and that passionate fans were back. He told the fans that with the new ECW, they should expect to see new names, old names, surprises and BLOOD. He stated that the first 4 shows of ECW will begin to show off the roster, with new faces each week. Matches will be announced, but this is DIY shit, this is ECW and you should ALWAYS expect the best in wrestling from around the world to show up. Tonight, the fans are going to see Japanese hardcore icon Masashi Takeda. Next show? Next show - back in the USA...SHINGO TAKAGI. Match 1: Hijo del Vikingo vs. SUGI Two of the best high flyers in the world opened the show with an insane display of athleticism and complete disregard for their own bodies. The young upstart Vikingo hit a dive from the ring over the guardrail onto SUGI at one point, causing the crowd to erupt. After trying for his signature inverted 450, SUGI was able to hit a brainbuster and a double moonsault for the victory. The two shook hands after the match. SUGI d. Higo del Vikingo via Double Moonsault David Starr walked out of the back, looking smug as hell - wearing a retro looking track suit and sneakers. For a guy who loves to talk shit to anyone, he chose not to pick up the microphone today and just sat in a chair at ringside, intent to watch the next match. Match 2: "Filthy" Tom Lawlor vs. Darby Allin Darby showed a lot of heart once again in this match, paired against another legit fighter in Lawlor. Throughout the match, Lawlor tried to get Darby on the ground and pound him, tried to stretch him and repeatedly tried to pick his leg apart. Darby withstood the pain until he could no longer even stand. A desperation "Coffin Drop" dive was countered into a Katahajime, but while Darby didn't tap, the referee called the match off, leaving Darby as a helpless pile on the ground. Lawlor gloated and celebrated his victory as Starr stood up from his ringside chair clapping, before walking away. Tom Lawlor d. Darby Allin via Referee Stoppage Match 3: MOOSE w/ Stokely Hathaway vs. 2 Cold Scorpio The legend 2 Cold Scorpio got berated by Stokely Hathaway prior to Moose's entrance. Stokely made sure to let Scorp know he has no business here anymore, this ain't the NWA, this isn't 1994. His man is the future. And in this match, Moose showed it. The crowd were lukewarm to Moose, pumping their first almost out of obligation, but the dynamic of the match did get the crowd heavily invested. Despite his 50 years, Scorp moved surprisingly well in the ring, even hitting a flying body press to the outside. Scorpio didn't stay on top long, though, as Moose was able to power his way to victory, eventually 2 Cold away with the spear, pin and a few extra stomps from Stokely afterwards. MOOSE d. 2 Cold Scorpio via Spear Match 4: Ciclope vs. Masashi Takeda 300,000 Thumbtacks Match The crowd was buzzing for the debut of these two insane death match wrestlers. Ciclope made his entrance first, dragging a case of light tubes with him. Following him, Masashi Takeda, causing the crowd to chant TA-KE-DA TA-KE-DA as he entered. The two went at it right away. Starting with heavy strikes with fists and light tubes. Takeda dominated most of the match, pulling a garbage can from under the ring and putting Ciclope through a table in the corner as well. With Ciclope recovering in the corner, Takeda finally went to the opposite corners to fetch the thumbtack bags - 3 LARGE bank deposit bags, all pouring thumbtacks into the middle of the ring, creating a seeming mountain. Takeda grabbed Ciclope out of the corner, but he used pieces of the table to get back on top and turn the tide. A powerslam attempt into the thumbtacks was reversed, allowing Takeda to hit a spinning german suplex into the mountain of tacks. He picked up Ciclope again and hit the Reverse U-crash into the tacks, drawing lots of blood on Ciclope and himself, but earning the pin to HUGE applause and chants of E C DUB. Takeda smiled to the crowd mouth dripping blood. Masashi Takeda def. Ciclope via Reverse U-Crash into thumbtacks Match 5: Trevor Lee & PCO vs. Big E. Langston & Jeff Cobb In the main event, stemming from the beat down on the last show, Big E was ready to rip off the heads of Trevor and PCO before the two even entered the ring. Trevor took his time, taunting Big E & Cobb as well as the crowd, talking shit to anyone who wanted to hear. This was hardly a match, not a single tag was made, but a bell was rung. Cobb and PCO brawled on the outside, while Big E & Trevor Lee tried to work the ring, Trevor trying to escape the wrath of the big man. About 5 minutes in, Demus 3:16 ran down the aisle with a chair, whacking Big E right across the head with it. Lee laughed and took the chair for himself, attacking Big E's knee while Demus went to the outside to help PCO. Cobb fought valiantly on the outside, even dropping both wrestlers with big throws on the outside. As Cobb was about to pick-up PCO, however, from out of the crowd a short man with bleached blond hair ran and his face painted in black and white, ran up behind Cobb and clipped him behind his knee, buckling it. The man, maybe 5'3" took off his shirt, revealing his ripped physique, grabbed Cobb in a waistlock, and quickly bridged him over in a german suplex. A better look at the man revealed him to be El Lindaman, looking more sadistic and crazed than he ever has. No Contest Trevor Lee got on the microphone as Tommy Dreamer ran in from the back to check on Cobb & Big E. PCO, Demus & El Lindaman joined Trevor in the ring, kneeling in front of him, all looking particularly...off. "You have all born witness to the Congregation of Lee"

Sorry for being gone for two weeks dudes, just happens. I will not be doing a full roster reveal for awhile. I may do it in chunks as wrestlers debut on shows - which might make the thread a little difficult to follow, but whatever. ECW will be about "surprises" like the Monday Night Wars, like PWG, like other promotions. It will slowly be unveiled, and once stables are also unveiled, I'll make a post about them as well.

Hell yeah this is great

DAMN

Thanks. Not necessarily built around, but he will be The Sandman proxy, essentially.

January 15th, 2019 The Return of Extreme Championship Wrestling - Live Report With little fanfare and out of nowhere, professional wrestler and former face of ECW, Tommy Dreamer sent out 3 tweets Tuesday morning, urging fans to show up to the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, PA to "witness something special." 300 people were told they would get in to the venue that can fit many more. Upon entering the 2300 Arena fans were greeted with a familiar sight, though lost long ago... One by one, you heard the gasps. And then the chants. E C DUB E C DUB E C DUB When 300 individuals had entered, the doors to the arena were shut. The lights went out to more gasps and applause. A familiar, distorted synth filled the arena, followed by a few simple guitar shots and... EXXXXXXXTTRRRRREEEEEMMMEEEEE The applause and chanting reached a fever pitch, before the lights turned back on - in the middle of the ring, Tommy Dreamer. Tommy Dreamer: "They say the classics never go out of style.... I dare you to show me you mother fuckers." E C DUB E C DUB E C DUB Dreamer: "As of January 1st, World Wrestling Entertainment has relinquished the rights to the name of Extreme Championship Wrestling. They keep the old shit. The footage, the history. Their own fucking narrative. Today? Today we start new. ECW is now owned, in full, by Tommy Dreamer. ECW now belongs back where it belongs - with you. Are you READY? Tonight is just a preview of what will become. The names that I have signed to be here, to wrestle for YOU, they will be revealed soon. And to the 85,000 of you watching right now on YouTube... I hope you're ready to get hardcore. Enough of me fuckin' yapping. E-C-W IS BACK. The crowd roared with applause and screams as Tommy left the ring, slapping hands with just about everyone he could. Before heading behind the curtain to the back, he reached behind and pulled out a Singapore Cane to loud applause. Hoisting it in the air, Dreamer headed to the back. January 15th, 2019 ECW Results: LAX (Santana & Ortiz) def. The Workhorsemen (James Drake & Anthony Henry) In a match worked with high intensity, but little in the way of weapons, the first ECW match in its rebirth had that familiar feel of tag team chaos. All 4 men took dives to the outside at one point, Ortiz and Drake battled it out with big strikes, while Santana and Henry paired off in a battle of two of the most athletic men in wrestling today. LAX secured the victory with a huge Powerbomb/Blockbuster combo on Henry. Jeff Cobb def. Darby Allin Always the underdog, Darby fought valiantly against the power Cobb, but after about a dozen suplexes, including an overhead toss over the top rope to the floor, the Tour of the Islands put Darby to rest. Chris Dickinson Vs. Demus 3:16 went to a no contest These two insane dudes brawled through the crowd, broke about a half dozen tables, used glass bottles on one another and drew blood, but the match ended after The Dirty Daddy completely brutalized Demus with 3 consecutive Pazuzu Bombs on the stairs, before walking away from the match. Demus was helped to the back. Trevor Lee came out, flipping off the crowd and to massive applause turned to boos quickly. He cut a promo about how embarrassing Philadelphia is, how any title that comes out of this shitty revival promotion belongs to him and proceeded to challenge anyone in the back to a match. After leaving the crowd hanging for a few moments, before "Ultimate Flow" by Clipse & The Re-Up Gang blasts over the speakers. The crowd remains silent, when out from behind the curtain an unexpected face pops out. Clad in a blue and green singlet, with blue wrestling jacket on top - it's Big E Langston! The crowd roars with exciting at Big E being out of the WWE and in ECW. Trevor is terrified, but plays it cool and attacks as Big E enters the ring. Big E eventually shrugs him off, before dominating Trevor for a few minutes. When Big E sets up Trevor for the Big Ending, Pierre Carl Oullete aka PCO rushes out and attacks Big E with a chair! Trevor and PCO lay waste to Big E, bloodying him, before they are run off by Jeff Cobb, who clears the ring and helps Big E to the back. The familiar sounds of punks talking to one another for 20 seconds fills the speakers before: "To all my friends present, past and beyond Especially those who weren't with us too long Life is the most precious thing you can lose While you were here the fun was never ending Laugh a minute was only beginning Canton, Colvin, Nichols, this one's for you" OOOOO OOOOOOOOO OOOOOOO With his signature index finger in the air, Biff Busick storms out from behind the curtain in his familiar black and yellow trunks, while the crowd sings along to his iconic theme. The crowd applauds and screams, breaking out into BIFF chants as his theme comes to an end. But then the lights go out, while "For Whom the Bell Tolls" creeps over the loudspeakers. NICK FUCKIN GAGE NICK FUCKIN GAGE NICK FUCKIN GAGE NICK FUCKIN GAGE NICK FUCKIN GAGE As if summoned from the desires of 300 bloodthirsty fans, Nick Gage appears on the entrance, before making his way to the ring. He doesn't enter, but reaches under, pulls out a garbage can, a cane, crutches, metal pans, tables, and Biff has had enough and hits a over the top dive onto Gage, knocking him down. It doesn't take long though for Gage to use the weapons laying around the ring and turn the tide of the match. He bloodies Biff up repeatedly with the cookie sheet and Singapore Cane before hitting a Frog Splash through a table for the win. Gage stands tall in the ring, while a bloody Biff stands up, extending his hand. Gage daps him, and cuts a promo as Tommy Dreamer comes to the ring applauding. The YouTube feed is cut there, sending the wrestling world buzzing with all the exciting moves happening in 2019. Stay tuned this week as Dreamer officially announces his plans for ECW to the press.
