Wk 29 Promos:

After PGCW went off the air: 
After Episode 29 went off the air, William King was still in the ring.

King: "So next week, PGCW's weekly TV show will be having a season finale."

A pause at that, while Kathy Queen puts the title (and her arms) around King.

King: "Now on that show, there's already a tag team championship match planned, and that's all well and good but... well, a season finale should be your most memorable episode, right? So, let's make it memorable."

King: "I'm issuing an open challenge, to anyone in the back who has yet to have a shot at my championship."

Walter Cranston then heads out, microphone in hand.

Cranston: "King, I like that idea. And normally I'd just wait to see who would be the first to answer your challenge, but there's someone in the back who has earned a chance at the title. As some of you know, Spider Jack has won an international cruiserweight tournament, outlasting sixteen other men to be known as one of the best cruiserweights in the world today. And representing PGCW in the way he did, that deserves recognition and a reward. So King, you want a title defense next week, you got it, with Spider Jack!"

The crowd cheers as King nods and takes the mic.

King: "Fine by me. I like spiders. Shame that I'm going to have to crush this one."

In the back, the Deadly Venom Society convene:

Joey Venom: "It is time that you look upon the Deadly Venom Society, and despair. Wrecker Jr, you know him, and I've been guiding his career long before he came to PGCW. Sure, his father and uncle taught him the basics, but who mentored him? I did. So it should have come to no surprise to anyone that he is part of the DVS."

Venom: "As to the other man... he too I've mentored, and he's become a master of the spinning toe hold. He recently was committed to a psychiatric hospital after cripping a referee with it in a fit of anger. The deadliest snake in the Everglades is the cottonmouth, also known as the water moccasin. And so by Water Moccasin he is known."

Venom: "Jimmy The Razor was the first and will not be the last. We will destroy all that we see fit here in PGCW. Our goal is not to take over, it is to pillage, conquer, raze, and leave PGCW in ruins."

Wk 28 Promos

We sat down to speak with both William King and BLACKBIRD Sora ahead of their championship match.

William King (with Kathy Queen on his lap):
WK: "Sora is a tough person. I think when zhe first came here, people didn't see that. That's why zhe kept succeeding people people underestimate Sora. I don't take anyone lightly. That's why I win."

WK: "There's no secret to my success. I bust people up. Big or small, they all fall down when you knock their heads hard enough. Then I choke them out. So my gameplan's the same as it always is: Violence."

KQ: "I don't plan on getting involved in my King's match. I don't need to. I like to watch though. The violence... well, the violence excites me."

The two then start making out.

BLACKBIRD Sora:

"William King. He is tough. He is good fighter. I am tougher. I am better fighter."

"I appreciate how he fights. A strong style fighter. However, there is something that seperates him from me."

"He adopted the strong style. He learned it from videos. I trained in it, in sweltering dojos, having to prove to my peers that I was strong enough to compete. They did not make it easy on me! I had to work extra hard just to prove I belonged in dojos. First to start, last to finish."

"I will return to Japan with championships. PGCW Openweight Title, will be the first."

Episode 27 Promo

The CHICKEN CLUB are in a locker room.

Sanders: "Okay I was not happy about us losing to the Legion of Masked Dorks, but CYBORG! MY MAN! When you knocked Kelley's head off that made my DAY! Now it'll be a LONG time before Kelley gets another chance at the tag team title belts. Okay so next on tap, we're going after the Deadly Venom Society, and Incredible !, Mongo you need to... Mongo what are you doing?"

We pan to Mongo watching the footage of DVS vs Kelley and Jones.

Sanders: "Mongo you don't have to watch this, this is for the Arch Rivals to learn from..."

Mongo points at the smaller hooden man.

Mongo: "I know him."

Sanders jumps backward. Everyone else stares at Mongo.

RIP: "...He can talk?"

Sanders: "I never heard him say a word before... Mongo, what do you mean 'you know him'?"

Mongo: "He is madman."

Sanders: "Well who is he? ...Mongo? Mongo, god dammit SAY MORE THINGS."

Mongo just stares at the footage, Rival shrugging.

Post 26 promos

Backstage, Alex Kelley talking to Walter Cranston.

Kelley: "What the hell was that? How did the ref miss that Sanders was cheating?"

Cranston: "Matt Weston is the best referee in the business. But he's human, Kelley. Look, the referee's decision is final, there's nothing I can do. If I were to give you a rematch I'd have to do it to everyone else who was cheated by CHICKEN CLUB and I simply can't schedule all that while keeping a competitive format."

Kelley: "So, now what then?"

Cranston: "Well, that's your call Kelley. If you want to keep persuing the tag titles with Johnny Jones you can keep doing that and climb up the ranks, or if you'd rather focus on your singles career I can see about putting you in a match with a ranked opponent..."

Kelley: "I need to stick it to Harland Sanders. I can't let him get the last laugh in this. I need a new partner... someone I've worked with, someone who doesn't like CHICKEN CLUB... and when we worked together..."

Cranstion: "You're talking about William King, aren't you?"

Kelley: "Damn right I am."

Cranston: "While I like that on paper, I don't know about having my Openweight champion also being my Tag Team champion. It makes us look less competitive than we are. That's not a no. That's me having reservations. I'll think about it, okay?"

Meanwhile, Tristan Belmont is in the interview area.

Belmont: "I apologize for my English first, it's my second language. I am very excited to be here in PGCW. Lots of wrestling history in Florida and I am proud to be part of it. I am here to show what European wrestling is all about. Not as fancy as high flyers that are my size, but we make up with it by being deadly. And if you get in the ring with me, I will show that you are nothing more... than a miserable little pile of secrets. Have at you!"

Finally, we spy on Jacob and Mercy Toombs talking to each other.

Mercy: "You don't understand. Langley is supporting this, but they don't support Mario. And this won't happen without Langley's support."

Jacob: "You're my sister, you should be on my side."

Mercy: "I am on your side, Jacob. Mario is a loose cannon, we can't trust him."

Jacob: "Oh and he isn't?"

Mercy: "Mario hasn't been vetted."

Jacob: "Has he?"

Mercy: "As a matter of fact, yes he is."

Jacob takes a moment to compose himself.

Jacob: "Can you convince them to give Mario a chance?"

Mercy: "I can try."

Jacob: "Alright. You won't regret this."

Episode 25 Fallout

Backstage, Harlan Sanders IV is arguing with Commissioner Walter Cranston:

Sanders: "THIS IS BULLCRAP, CRANSTON!"

Cranston: "Sanders I understand you are upset..."

Sanders: "You're damn right I am! You let that pack of thugs who aren't even signed to PGCW atttack my Arch Rivals and you REWARDED them?"

Cranston: "I was in a bind, Mister Sanders. If I hadn't done that, that match would had to have been considered a no contest. I needed number one contenders for the tag titles. Unless you wanted me to just GIVE Kelley and Jones the title shot..."

Sanders: "You should have given it to the Arch Rivals!"

Cranston: "The bell hadn't rung yet, and there's no proof that Kelley and Jones had anything to do with the Deadly Venom Society. Also, you're wrong about one thing. The DVS are signed to PGCW. I'm going to have to ask the State Athletic Comission to review this incident, but otherwise... it was out of my hands, Sanders. Besides, I didn't even know if they were going to be able to compete. You saw how hard Jim Rival was thrown to the floor."

Sanders: "Well he's fine, thank you for asking."

Cranston: "And I'm glad to hear it. ...Look, I can offer the Arch Rivals another opportunity down the line, and I can give them a winner's purse. That's the best I can offer. It's a bum deal, I get that... but it's that or nothing."

Sanders: "...This isn't over, Cranston."

Sanders heads off shot.

Cranston: "...Does that mean you're not taking the compensation then?"

Sanders: "NO IT DOES NOT!"

Episode 24 Fallout

Post-Main Event:
William King is kneeling in the ring as the barbed wire ropes are being removed by ring crew, medics tending to Mongo as Kathy Queen comes in with the Openweight Championship Belt and a microphone.

King: "Now you see... now you see a glimpse of the carnage I am willing to inflict to keep my championship title. I will punch you, I will hit you with a weapon, I will tear your flesh open with my teeth, and I will strangle the life out of you to keep this title. And you also see that everything I inflict, I can endure as well."

One of the medics comes with a towel to King, and King takes the towel and throws it out of the ring.

King: "If you don't want me to pull a Negan on your ass you get out of my ring now. There IS a barbed wire bat in this ring and as we've seen I know how to use it."

The medic wastes no time in complying with King's request.

King: "BLACKBIRD Sora. I don't care about your lifestyle. I don't believe in treating anyone who faces me in this ring differently because of their gender. I'm an equal opportunity destroyer. You have a long and successful career to look forward to. If you want to keep it that way, do yourself a favor, and step down. Because if you don't... they might not have enough of you left to send back to Japan."

King puts the mic down and holds up the title, and Kathy LICKS THE BLOOD OFF KING'S FACE as the cameras fade.

Backstage:

Mongo is still being tended to by medics as Harland A Sanders is by him on crutches.

 Sanders: "Mongo! What the hell happened! We were so close to having every championship in PGCW and YOU BLEW IT! I have half a mind to throw you back into the nuthouse if you keep failing me like this Mongo..."

Walter Cranston heads up to him.

Cranston: "Mister Sanders, can you please let the trainer tend to your client while I discuss your next match?"

Sanders: "Next match? Cranston, my knee was SHATTERED by Alex Kelley."

Cranston: "Funny, according to the report I got from the Florida State Athletic Commission, they said your injury isn't too severe to keep you out of action for more than two weeks. Of course if you feel that prognosis is incorrect you can focus on your managerial career... but you would have to forfeit your championship title."

Sanders: "...Alright FINE. Who am I facing?"

Cranston: "Well, the top contenders currently are Plane Shift and your other team the Arch Rivals. As I don't want to just hand Arch Rivals a title match and we don't do simple rematches here in PGCW, the most obvious solution would be a number one contenders match... unfortunately Spider Jack has a prior engagement and won't be able to compete..."

Sanders pumps his hand.

Cranston: "...Buuut there is someone who will be cleared to compete this Saturday who is looking to compete and has a partner. I'm speaking of course of Johnny Jones..."

Sanders: "Oh come ON..."

Cranston: "And his partner is Mister Photogenic, Alex Kelley."

Sanders: "WHY"

Cranston: "Because they deserve it. Have a good evening, Mister Sanders."

And in a PGCW exclusive, a video DVD was sent to us, with a picture of a spider on the label:

On the video three men are shown on a background of a black flag, with in silver the letters D and S on both sides and in the middle, a silver spider with a black V imprinted on it. Two of the men are in all black hoods, the other man, front and center, has a shaved head and red and black facepaint.

Man in Middle: "My name is Joey Venom. And these two men, well... you will know who they are when the time is right. I've been in this business for fifteen years, and I've won titles and left devastation in my wake in every major territory in the US... except Florida. And now it's time for me to correct that. And I'm bringing these two men with me to take PGCW over. We are the Deadly Venom Society, and we will make America violent again."

Post Ep23 Wiliam King Promo

William King:

"This Saturday... I go to war with Mongo in a barbed wire deathmatch. And I bet Harlan Sanders is really wishing his team got to choose the stipulation for this match. Because I'm not sure if you guys have realized it yet, but I picked this match for two reasons.

"The first reason is simple. I want to torture Mongo. I want to make him suffer, make him bleed, to send a message to the rest of Proving Ground Championship Wrestling... if you want to take the Openweight title from be you better be prepared to die for it, because I'm willing to kill to keep it.

"As for the other reason well... King doesn't lie... I chose this specific reason for a tactical purpose. Mongo can't run barbed wire ropes. No running Mongo Boots. Now, Mongo's shown at the Halloween Special 8-Man tag that he can get the job done just as well with his powerbomb.... but that's still Mongo's best weapon GONE. Whereas the Cthulhu Clutch? I don't need to run ropes to do that.

"Mongo will bleed.... he will suffer. He will scream for mercy. And then, I will choke... him... out."

Episode 22

Alex Kelley:

"Before I talk about CHICKEN CLUB, let me talk about Johnny Jones. Fortunately the worst hasn't come true for Johnny, he's going to be alright. He's under a medical suspension for a couple more weeks but soon he'll be back in the ring.

"Now this means yes, I'll be facing RIP and Harland A Sanders by myself. One against two, elimination rules. Sanders is going to try to take me out of wrestling forever. But you know what Sanders? I'm planning on doing the same thing to you. You set your bounty on me, you sicced the Arch Rivals on me, and all because... I was beating up your boys. Kinda petty when you look at it. All that shit because I was winning? Well, you started it. I'm ending it.

"This is going to be the toughest fight of my career. No, the toughest fight of my life. But I'm ready for it because let me tell you something Sanders. You haven't seen how dangerous Alex Kelley can be in the ring. You've seen me crack skulls and knock teeth out, but you haven't seen what I'm REALLY capable of. See, there's two things that are going to happen. Either you're going to be given the beating of your life... or you're going to be given a beating so bad you won't even remember your name.

"But hey, there's a bit of good news for you Sanders... you won't have to worry about how you're going home tonight. Because you won't be going home... you'll be going to the ER."

Meanwhile:

Ben Davis was heading to the back when Scott Saphyre approaches him...

Scott: "Ben, what the hell? This isn't you man, what..."

Ben then punches Scott in the mouth and a security guard quickly steps between them as a second goes to escort Ben away. Scott meanwhile is just holding his jaw, looking more shocked than anything. Eventually, Scott shakes his head.

Scott: "DESPAIR. I'm gonna kick his ass."

Episode 21 promos

Jimmy Razor and Wrecker Jr:

Jimmy is walking backstage after his match when Wrecker Jr comes up and shoves him.

Wrecker: "What's your problem?"

Jimmy: "Oh Wrecker, I was just on my way to tell you..."

Wrecker: "We're NOT tag partners. YOU broke us up."

Jimmy: "Look man, I wasn't thinking straight then, okay? I was in the middle of a move, and at the same time my brother got kicked out of his place..."

Wrecker: "You said you only had two sisters."

Jimmy: "Well one came out as transgender."

Wrecker: "...Anyway, I'm not teaming with you."

Jimmy: "Look, let's just give it one more chance, okay? I mean, our opponents are the Arch Rivals. Everyone beats them! And besides, we're both on a winning streak we got momentum..."

Wrecker: "..."

Jimmy: "I'll let you pick out our theme song."

Wrecker: "...Fine. But DON'T blow it this time, or I'm putting your ass through a table."

----------
CHICKEN CLUB:

Sanders: "WE GOT GOLD BABY! The first of many! Now those two DND playing weirdos are saying I used leverage in that pinfall but that's NOT TRUE! See, this is the media, the dishonest media is rigging things against CHICKEN CLUB and I have proof that I did not pull on Spider Jack's ring gear and I will be releasing it very soon. I'll have it ready sometime before the end of the Age of Capricorn. Swearsies."

Then, Mercy Toombs walks by, wearing mirrored sunglasses.

Toombs: "Excuse me, Mister Prescott, may I have a word?"

RIP: "Yeah, alright."

Toombs: "Alone, please."

Sanders: "Hey, he's my bodyguard, so... yeah, no."

Toombs: "...You have four other people to watch your back Mister Sanders, I'm sure you'll do fine. Besides, your car is being towed."

Sanders: "What... fine! Go!"

CHICKEN CLUB sans RIP walk off, and Toombs smirks a bit.

Toombs: "So, Mister Prescott, I'll make this quick. How much do you owe the Yamaguchis?"

RIP: "...I have no idea what you are talking about, lady."

Toombs: "Is that so. Well, if you do have an idea, please give me a call."

Mercy offers RIP a business card which he accepts, then she walks off.

RIP: "Hey... why does the CIA care if I owe money to the Yamaguchi family?"

Mercy stops and half-turns to him.

Toombs: "I have no idea what you are talking about, Mister Prescott."

Then continues to walk off.

Episode 20

Comissioner Walter Cranston was in the back.

Cranston: "Well ladies and gentlemen it's been another crazy week here in PGCW but in three weeks it's going to get a little bit crazier as we'll be having our first ever Halloween Costume Party Battle Royale. The winner and the one with the best costume will each get a cash reward and a chance at... oh hell..."

The camera pans to Johnny Jones clutching his shoulder in agony as Alex Kelley talks to him.

Kelley: "Dude, you have nothing to apologize for. Get healthy, alright?"

Cranston: "Mr Kelley, Mr Jones, how..."

Jones and a trainer go past and Kelley steps up.

Kelley: "We're looking at either a dislocation or a rotator cuff injury, I think... we'll need to see what the guys at the hospital say."

Cranston: "I don't mean to be callous, but if he can't compete then I'm going to have to postpone or cancel-"

Kelley: "No, fuck that. I'll fly solo."

Cranston: "...Are you sure?"

Kelley: "The sooner I kick Sanders' head off, the better."

Cranston: "Alright. To give you a fighting chance though I'm going to add one more rule; the 'one-in-one-out' rule will be strictly enforced. If they double team, or break any count, at all... RIP will be eliminated, and Sanders will be going against you one on one."

Kelley: "Works for me.

Tuesday, October 4, 2016

Post Ep 19

Walter Cranston is backstage with William King, Kathy Queen (who is making out with King when the promo opens), Alex Kelley and Johnny Jones.

Cranston: "Alright... you guys won and... King, Queen... can you PLEASE stop for one minute so we can do this?"

They stop, Queen's hands all over King as they look towards the commissioner.

Cranston: "Alright, so, let's talk about the matches each of you receive. Now Johnny, you made the first elimination, so I'll give you the first pick."

Jones: "I want BLACKBIRD Sora. Two out of three falls, to settle which of us is better."

Cranston: "That's easily doable. In fact, let's make it interesting. We'll make it a number one contender's match. Queen, you're next."

Queen: "I want El Gringo Diablo, to get payback on that pudgy doofus."

Cranston: "Well, that's going to be a problem, see we haven't had contact with him since..."

Then, DESPAIR's Herald appears.

Herald: "This one can confirm that Ben Davis, formerly known as El Gringo Diablo, will answer that challenge."

Cranston: "Formerly known?"

Herald: "He has dispensed with his jovial charade."

Cranston: "And how do you know..."

Lights out, lights on, the Herald is gone.

Cranston: "Okay then. Moving right along... Mr. Kelley?"

Kelley: "I can't have Sanders one on one, right?"

Cranston: "That is correct, I'm afraid."

Kelley: "In that case I want Sanders... AND RIP. Elimination tag team match."

Cranston: "So you and Johnny Jones?"

Kelley: "Yeah, that's the plan. If you're in Johnny?"

Johnny nods.

Cranston: "We'll do that then. And last but not least... King, you get Mongo, any stipulation, name it."

King: "That camera's on right?"

Cranston: "That's why the red light is there, Mister King."

King: "Hey Mongo. Fuck you. We're having a barbed wire deathmatch, motherfucker."

Cranston: "Alright then, well, I'll go and make those matches official, each of you have a good night."

Cranston walks off, and Kelley and Jones look to King.

Kelley: "Hey man. Look, I know you didn't ask for my help so I'm not expecting a thank you. But, hell, we made a pretty good team. Maybe we should do it again some...time."

King and Queen are already making out again, and the others just walk off.

Kelley: "Jeez they have a match together and get all over each other."

Jones: "Maybe it's a fetish?"

Post 18 Promo

Alex Kelley: "I should have won that match. It was the best I've been in months, my kicks were at my sharpest, my wrestling was at it's crispest... my flying had him reeling... but I let my guard down for one second and he got me. And that's not an excuse, that's just what happened, I got cocky and paid for it.

"And I was out. The first Reaper Kick, I was out for a second too, and I came too and I hear Matt Weston counting TWO, and managed to get my wits back just enough to get my shoulder up. The second kick... I woke up and 'Don't Fear The Reaper' was playing and I knew it was over.

"I'm pissed but it's not over. I got the eight man tag and if we win I get what I want anyway. RIP, I want to face him another time, but for now... my goal's right on swatting that annoying fly named Harlan A Sanders IV."

Then, the CHICKEN CLUB come into view.

Sanders: "Kelley, Kelley, Kelley. How long have you been in this business? You should know by now to read the fine print of everything you sign. Because if you did, you would have noticed that in the contract to face RIP... it was stipulated that you cannot get a one on one match against me if you do not defeat RIP one on one first. Now, if you get another shot at him... and you win, well, I guess that closes that loophole but things like that only happen in Rocky movies and Kelley... you're not Rocky, and you're simply not TOO CRISPY. Later, Kelley."

CHICKEN CLUB walk by Kelley, with Archer pulling down his eyebrow and sticking his tongue out at Kelley who just stares a hole into Sanders' head.

Post Episode 17

AFTER PGCW WAS OFF THE AIR:

The brawl was still going on and Black Cyborg and Harland Sanders had joined the fray, making the others outnumbered until King grabbed a chair and decked the Arch-Rivals with it. Mongo hit Kathy Queen with a boot and King LOST HIS SHIT, flooring Mongo with a chair to the head and nearly taking Sanders' head off but RIP pulled him out of the ring. Kelley hit AK-47 on Black Cyborg and King starts smashing Mongo in the back with the chair until PGCW Commish Walter Cranston comes out, toilet paper stuck to his shoe.

Walter: "KING! KING, STOP IT! ALL OF YOU STOP IT!"

King keeps hitting Mongo with the chair. Kelley and Jones are visually disturbed by this.

Walter: "KING I WILL FIRE YOU!"

King stops, tossing the chair aside and tending to Kathy, while Harland A Sanders takes a mic.

Sanders: "Cranston, this is bullshit, Mongo beat the count before the reset he should be champion."

Walter: "And he restarted the match and was about to be pinned for a three count when your CHICKEN CLUB ran in. Now, King, Kelley, I know you two don't like each other, but it seems like you've got common ground. King obviously you've on an ally with Kathy Queen and Kelley's got Johnny Jones, so..."

Sanders: "What are you going to..."

Walter: "Shut the FUCK up Sanders! We don't hand out rematches here in PGCW so cheaply. BUT, in this case... King, you want to fight Mongo again?"

King nods, looking furious.

Walter: "Okay, so here's what we're going to do. In two weeks, we'll have on one side, William King, Kathy Queen, Alex Kelley and Johnny Jones. On the other, we'll have CHICKEN CLUB. Eight-person elimination tag. If CHICKEN CLUB wins, Sanders you get do decide the stipulation for a rematch between William King and Mongo. But if CHICKEN CLUB loses, William King gets to make that call. In fact, because you piss me off so much Sanders... if your team loses, EVERY OTHER MEMBER of King's team gets to ask for a non-title match of their choice. And by the way, Sanders? The Florida State Athletic Commission will be receiving a recommendation for sanctions for the stunt you just pulled tonight. You're welcome."

Scott Saphyre:
Scott: "...Where's Gringo? Has anyone seen him? ...Dammit... I don't know what's gotten into him but he's not the same guy. I got to find him and see if I can..."

A figure in a black suit with a white featureless mask approaches Scott.

Scott: "You're a little small to be DESPAIR."

???: "This one is his herald."

Scott: "'This one'?"

???: "This one needs no name. This one exists only to spread the word of DESPAIR. Your friend has been shown the truth of DESPAIR. Your friend has yet to truly grasp DESPAIR. But he will. Your friend is fine. Soon your friend will be awake."

Scott: "I don't get what the hell you're talking about, but if DESPAIR's the reason Gringo's messed up well then now I got a problem with DESPAIR. Tell him I want to face him one on one."

???: "DESPAIR does not answer to those with the Lie of Hope in their hearts. DESPAIR exists to spread the truth. No more."

The suited man walks away and turns a corner, Scott tries to follow him but when he turns the corner, the man is gone.

Scott: "WHERE'S BEN?"

William King:

"This week, I go to war again to defend my throne. This isn't going to be any kind of technical battle, there will be no flippy corkscrews, just a fight. Mongo is powerful, he's all power. That's his strength and his weakness because for all that muscle, he's doesn't know how to fight. I know how to fight. I'm going to outfight Mongo. I'm going to hurt Mongo. I'm going to rattle whatever brain is in that skull of his, and then, I'm going to choke him out. And all the muscle in the world won't mean a thing when you get choked out. Because to Mongo, this is just a shiny plate of metal. To me, this is proof that I am the most dangerous man in PGCW, and this guarantees me bigger purses to put my Queen through college with. It's going to take more than a discount Hodor to take this title away from me."

Team #DefendTheFort:

Saphyre: "That DESPAIR dude is scary... lucky for us, my boy Gringo Diablo isn't hurt. We've had to lobby hard for this title shot and we're going to have to give it our all. Honestly, I'm feeling confident. How about you, buddy?"

Diablo: "It's pointless."

Saphyre: "Okay... not what I expected you to say."

Diablo: "What is the value of victory? Will we be remembered for it?"

Saphyre: "Yeah... our names will be on the records..."

Diablo: "Eventually the human race will die out. The halls in which those records are recorded will crumble. The machines will rot and rust, the digital cloud will vanish, any paper our achievements will be written on will decay. And even if an intelligent lifeform discovers the records before they are lost to the ages, the language they are written on will be unintelligable to them. Glory is a fleeting thing, just like man."

Saphyre: "...You know for most people their goth phase happens in their high school years..."

Diablo: "There is no point in human endeavor. No hope."

Saphyre just looks at Diablo dumbfounded...

Alex Kelley:

"RIP... RIP. Richard Ian Prescott. Sanders, did you think for one second this would discourage me? What did you expect me do, say 'Well, he's brought an MMA legend, better just go back to the Openweight title hunt'? Hell no! I'm excited, I'm PUMPED! You have any idea how much I've looked up to this guy? I mean, yeah he's kind of a douche but in the ring... he left pro kickboxing because he was just on a level above the top kickboxers. He made fools out of top level athletes. And to get to go one on one with him in the ring? See how my skills match up with his? You bet your ass I'm taking the fight! And hey, RIP, better not take me lightly man. The surgeon general's lobbying to put a health hazard warning label on my feet."

PGCW Comissioner Walter Cranston:

"Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to be the first to welcome our three newest signings to PGCW. The Determination League winner, GAMEOVER.

Harland A Sanders:

"Kelley... you know how some contests tell you you can have a chance to win a million dollars... but the chance isn't getting the winning beer can, getting the winning beer can just means you got a chance... you still got to make a free throw, or kick a field goal, or jump through some kind of hoop to get that money. Well Kelley... when I said if you beat Jim Rival that you'd get a chance to face me... well, there was some fine print on that deal.

"Now I know you know who it was that laid justice on you this week Kelley but for those that don't let me explain to them just who he is and how he came to my employ. People think my great-grandfather's company just operated in the US but it is an international organization, and operates in every major country in the world including Japan. So I called KFC Japan, and I told them that the CHICKEN CLUB needs a trump card. And they brought me Richard Ian Prescott... RIP. Household name in the Japanese MMA world. 43 wins, 22 knockouts, 9 of those in the first three minutes, a former world heavyweight champion and at one point ranked number four worldwide pound for pound. And now... my bodyguard."

"If you want to face me in the ring, Kelley... all you have to do is beat RIP."

William King:

"So I'm being told my next opponent for my Openweight title is going to be Mongo. Mongo. I see what's going on. Harland Sanders wanted this title the easy way by recruiting me. But I couldn't be bought, so he's playing politics, getting Black Cyborg a shot at my belt, getting Mongo a shot at my belt. What's Mongo done to earn it? Beat Mega-Type-2 Diabetes? Big deal. And yeah, last time I was in the ring with Mongo he threw me over the top rope backfirst on the apron. But I choked his ugly ass out for it. Same thing will happen this time. As far as El Gringo Diablo... you're going to pay for hurting my Queen, you doofus. But... in due time. In due time."

Harland A Sanders IV and Jim Rival:

Rival: "Kelley you want to blame me for losing to William King, you're the one who chose to stand in the way of history. CHICKEN CLUB is going to pave the way for the future of pro wrestling. And you, you're going to be buried in the asphalt."

Sanders: "That's right Kelley, you want a piece of Jim Rival, you got it. And you know what, I'm so confident that you can't beat Jim Rival... if you win, I'll give you a chance to get in the ring with ME. But you won't. You'll lose to Rival, and we'll be getting all the gold in PGCW and there's nothing, NOTHING, you can do about it because we're... TOO CRISPAY."

Determination League Block Drawings

Block Drawings:
BLOCK A
Megaton
Hurricane Andrews
Brooklyn Tokyo
Willy G Wilikers
Freddy Newman
The Incredible !

Analysis: Hurricane Andrews and The Incredible ! are the favorites to win this block, though an upset loss or two can easily shift the balance. Megaton despite his bulk is the longshot; Hurricane can outpower him, Wilikers and Incredible ! are accustomed to fighting larger fighters and very prepared to use their speed to overcome his size, and Tokyo is a better brawler leaving Newman as his only even competition.

BLOCK B
GAMEOVER
Burrito The Cat
Gregory A Rious
Clockwork Angel
Mercy Toombs
Mario Black

Analysis: This is anyone's block to win and it's hard to call a favorite. Black has power, GAMEOVER and Toombs have a killer instinct, Rious can make anyone tap and both Angel and Burrito can use their aerial prowess to pick up wins. If anyone has an advantage over the others it would be GAMEOVER for his versatility.

Proving Ground Determination League UPDATE

The Proving Ground Determination League field of 12 has been finalized, and here are some mini-bios on the competitors, as well as how the tournament will take place:

COMPETITORS:

The Incredible ! (Pronounced as "YEAH")
From: Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico
Style: Luchador
Finisher: "Magic Missile" (Imploding Phoenix Splash)
Bio: The most experienced of the field, formerly known as Wizard and then The Incredible Wizard before taking his Prince-esque "!" name. Despite this eccentricity, he's an amazing high flier with a huge bag of tricks to back it up.

Hurricane Andrews
From: Buffalo, NY
Style: Power And Paint Brawler
Finisher: "Hurricane Mixer" (High Impact Shoulder Tackle, sometimes leaping)
Bio: Gaining entry into this tournament from tearing up the Tri-State indy scene, Hurricane Andrews is probably the most explosive competitor in the tournament and a strong favorite.

Clockwork Angel
From: Clockwork City
Style: Joshi
Finisher: "Angel Splash" (Swandive Senton)
Bio: Supposedly "created" by her manager Dr. Uhrmacher, The Clockwork Angel is an emotionless, almost robotic athlete who posseses an array of high flying moves that can put away any opponent.

Mario Black
From: Royal Palm, FL
Style: American Heavyweight With 80s Influences
Finisher: Piledriver
Bio: Mario Black takes no prisoners as he hammers his opposition with brutal offense. In addition to his neck-breaking piledriver he possesses a deadly Iron Claw.

Burrito The Cat
From: Baton Rouge, LA
Style: Meow-cha Libre
Finisher: "Burrito Supreme Special" (Dancing Yahoo)
Bio: Best known as the mascot of his hometown promotion Bon Temps Pro Wrestling, Burrito is a crafty competitor who can tie you in knots, suplex you, or blast you from above with high flying moves.

GAMEOVER
From: Level 256
Style Unothodox Junior
Finisher: "Kill Screen" (Brainbuster)
Bio: While his unique mask and M Bison themed outfit might make you think he's just another gimmick wrestler, GAMEOVER is no joke, and has knocked out several opponents with his Kill Screen.

Megaton
From: Diamond City
Style: Super Heavyweight Brawler
Finisher: Dropkick
Bio: A charismatic big man, what Megaton lacks in finesse he makes up for in using his bulk to his advantage. A possible sleeper favorite?

Freddy Newman
From: Green Bay, WI
Style: Brawler
Finisher: "Freddy To Belly" (Greco-Roman Belly To Belly Suplex)
Bio: Dubbed "Psycho Furry" by his friends, the pudgy, nerdy Newman is a deceptively tough athlete. Even if he does wear cat ears in the ring.

Gregory A Rious
From: St Paul, MN
Style: Catch Wrestling
Finisher: Gotch Toe Hold
Bio: An old school submission wrestler, Rious may be the best technician of the field of twelve, able to make people tap from a variety of positions. Also fond of flying body presses.

Brooklyn Tokyo
From: Pyongyang, DPRK
Style: Suplex-heavy American Heavyweight
Finisher: Superplex
Bio: While his alleged hometown of Pyongyang is debatable, what isn't is that he's a master of superplexes, and if he throws one on you the match is over.

Mercy Toombs
From: Langley, VA
Style: Kickboxing-heavy brawler
Finisher: "Mercy Kill '16" (Shining Axe Kick)
Bio: "The Woman In Black" is known for three things: A vicious repetoire of kicks and knees, wearing a suit in the ring, and her brother Jacob (currently rehabbing a shoulder injury).

Willy G. "Gee" Wilikers
From: Americaville, USA
Style: "Classic Family Fun" (whatever that means)
Finisher: Victory Roll
Bio: Possibly the oddest of the group (and given that a CAT is wrestling in this that's saying something), "Gee" Wilikers appears to think he's the star of a 50's sitcom. Yes, really. Despite the wierdness, he's a good all-round junior heavyweight.

LEAGUE FORMAT:
-The twelve competitors will be placed into two groups of six at random, and will face off in round robin competiton; 20 minute matches, 2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw.
-The two highest scoring competitors in each group will face off to determine the overall winner
-Any ties for the top spot will be broken in a single match (if there is a two-way tie it will be determined by a singles match; a three way tie by a three-way match, etc)
-The winner will earn a shot on the roster in addition to ten thousand dollars and will have his/her official PGCW debut against the PGCW Openweight Champion in a non-title match.
-In addition, a second contract will be given to the "Fan's Favorite", voted on by the fans.
-From the ten remaining competitors, PGCW Commissioner Walter Cranston will also offer a contract to a competitor of his choosing.

ADDITIONAL:
-There will be two randomly drawn trios matches as exhibitions posted on PGCW's YouTube page. Voting for the Fan's Favorite will begin once both matches have aired.
-The tournament itself will be shown in highlights on the YouTube page as well, with points standings being placed here.

Episode 11 + Tournament Announcement

Wrecker Jr:

"So, what's next for Wrecker Jr. Well, I don't know. I don't have a tag team partner, maybe I can find one that's not an egomaniac, see if I can get into the tag title ranks. Maybe I'll get a shot at the YouTube title. For now, I'll just focus on singles action, see where that goes. But whatever happens... I know one thing. The person who stands against me... will GET WRECK'T."

BLACKBIRD Sora:

"Johnny Jones... I beat you... this time, it was draw. Next time I go for YouTube Title... it won't leave with you... it will leave around my sexy waist. Sooner or latter, Johnny Jones... I will end up on top of you again... and you will feel the Angel Lust."

Alex Kelley:

"Oh I'm not done with CHICKEN CLUB. They keep trying to take me out so I got to drop them. And I've proven to be very good at dropping them. I want another shot at King but until I get those assbuckets off my back I won't be focused enough to take on King. I'm going to rest up, get 100%, and when I do you know what's going to happen? Jim Rival's going to get his head kicked off his shoulders! That's right Rival, I'm calling you out, blood for blood let's do this."

PGCW Commissioner Walter Cranston:

"Well folks we've had an exciting first three months of action here in the Proving Ground but we're just getting started. In an effort to ensure the best competition we're going to be having twelve great athletes competing in our first ever Proving Ground Determination League. We'll be offering a contract, ten thousand dollars, and a non-title match against the Openweight Champion to the winner. We'll be divulging more details as the tournament gets finalized, so stay tuned!"

Episode 10 After Show

Johnny Jones: "Look normally I'd like to talk about winning this title, but my friend's hurt."

Johnny Jones heads over to a hallway where Alex Kelley is being helped up by Risky Business, Alex looking to be unconsious.

Jones: "What happened?"

Adventure: "I dunno man, he just collapsed on his way from the ring."

Jones: "Alex! Alex speak to me buddy, are you alright?"

Danger: "He hasn't been responding..."

Jones: "Shit... SOMEONE GET AN AMBULANCE!"

Kelley looks up.

Kelley: "Johnny... Johnny, what day is it?"

Jones: "Saturday."

Kelley: "Huh.. feels like a Tuesday for some reason."

Jones: " You just fought King. You remember that?"

Kelley: "...Yeah... yeah. Kinda fuzzy, though."

Jones: "We're gonna get you to the hospital, you're gonna be alright man."

Kelley: "Yeah... yeah... vision's clear..."

At this point Harland Sanders IV heads over.

Sanders: "Kelley... man, you were doing so well? What happened?"

Kelley: "Bite me."

Sanders: "Not your usual witty self, Kelley. Maybe you should rest for a couple days... oh but don't expect to take too much time off. You see, I just got back from Mr. Cranston's office. And you've got a match next week. It's going to be you... and Risky Business here... vs the Arch Rivals... and the Monster Mongo. Your death warrant, Kelley, signed... sealed... delivered."

Danger: "Come on, that's BS, he might have a concussion."

Sanders: "Hope for you he doesn't, if he does it'll be 3-on-2."

Kelley: "I'll be fine... but your CHICKEN CLUB won't be."

Sanders just smirks as Risky Business and Johnny Jones help Kelley off. William King then steps by, title on his right shoulder, with Kathy Queen under his other arm.

King: "I think someone owes me money."

Sanders: "Oh come off it, he's probably got a stinger at worst."

King: "When you made the bounty, it wasn't injuring Kelley, it was putting him in the hospital. You know, where ambulances take people?"

Sanders: "...Fine. You'll get your money."

King: "In cash, please."

Sanders heads off then, leaving King and Queen alone.

Queen: "You know, I think I can pay off my loans already with this."

King: "Anything for my Queen."

EDITOR'S NOTE: Alex Kelley was released from the hospital on Sunday evening, diagnosed with mild heat exhaustion and dehydration, the effects of which were made worse by the blows to the head he took during the match. He's been advised to take it easy for a few days but intends on competing this Saturday.

BREAKING REPORT

Baton Rouge, Louisiana based promotion Bon Temps Pro Wrestling "Burrito The Cat's Birthday Bash" event this evening, Alex Kelley was scheduled to face Johnny Jones when the Arch Rivals, who were not scheduled to wrestle (but had been guests of CHICKEN CLUB stablemate Black Cyborg, who is BTPW's Heavyweight Champion), attacked Kelley shortly after the match began. Jones helped Kelley fight them off, leading to Kelley challenging the Arch Rivals to a tag team bout on the spot.

The match ended with Jim Rival pinning Kelley after a Rival Driver, and after the match Kelley was favoring his neck and was reported to gave gone through preliminary concussion screening which has come up negative.

Kelley did appear later in the show (during the main event of Burrito The Cat vs Black Cyborg in a non-title match, foiling the Arch Rivals when they attempted to interfere), however is reported to have checked in to a local clinic afterwards for further examination.

Kelley is scheduled to face William King for the Openweight title this week in PGCW, and barring a concussion diagonsis has vowed to do so.

Footage of the tag match has been posted on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mROwn7JsUyw

Episode 9 Promos

Harland Sanders IV:

"See this, this is why CHICKEN CLUB is going to take over PGCW. Risky Business may have stolen the championships from me, but that's just a temporary setback. Because I still have the most dangerous super junior in Florida, The Black Cyborg. I still have the monster Mongo, who I have just been informed will be able to return to action very soon. And now I have the REAL best team in Florida, Ken Archer, Jim Rival, the Arch Rivals! Now sure you might argue that they dropped the ball in this tournament, well, even the late great Ali lost a match now and then. And now that they're part of the CHICKEN CLUB... they're only gonna get better. CHICKEN CLUB BABY! We're TOO CRISPAAAAAAAAAAY!"

Risky Business:

DD: "As a wise man once said, don't bring a cloud to rain on our parades!"

EA: "...Didn't Barbara Steisand sing that?"

DD: "Yeah but she didn't write it."

EA: "Anyway, the bumps and bruises Harland Sanders' lackeys gave us, well, we're sore now and we'll be sore tomorrow but when we wake up and see these belts on our mantles, we're going to look back on it and say it was totally worth it. Ten ten, would drop you on your head again."

DD: "PS, Parking was ample."

EA: "As to what's next for Risky Business, well, that's up to the matchmakers. CHICKEN CLUB wanna step to us, we'll knock em back down. Any other team wanna test us, we'll get our number two pencils. We love wrestling, we love tag team wrestling, and we take pride in having made it to the top of this competition and we will go out there each and every time to show that we deserve these. And if we come up to people who deserve these titles more, well, then we'll hold our heads high, give them the titles the earned, and start over again. But we think that day won't come for a long time. Cause Risky Business... is big money."

Episode 8: Exclusive!

EXCLUSIVE: Harland Sanders IV meets with William King

Sanders met with King at a bar in Ft Lauderdale the other day (Kathy Queen in King's lap), this is what was overheard.

HS: "Look, I could use you in my corner, and you could use me in yours when you face Alex Kelley. CHICKEN CLUB, think about it."

WK: "How about... no. I don't just do things because people tell me to. See, the only things I care about are my Queen, and the Openweight championship. I don't want to work with any of your second-rate flunkies and I won't be anyone's first-rate flunky."

HS: "Okay, okay. But... what about the bounty, you want the bounty money?"

WK: "What I want is to fight, and win money to pay for my Queen's college. I'm not going to risk the winner's purse against Kelley by going out of my way to try to injure him in the match. I'm going to win, however I need to do it. That being said... that money would pay for a lot of her tuition. So if the opportunity presents itself, and it doesn't hurt my chances of winning... well, I'd have no reason not to try to injure him, would I?"

HS: "See, I knew you'd see things my way!"

Sanders tried to go in for a handshake, and King just stared at him until Sanders slowly backed away.

Harland Sanders IV:

"Oh, I found other people to work with Black Cyborg. But they aren't quite CHICKEN CLUB material... yet. Maybe some day. And since I was already cleared to compete by the Florida State Athletic Comission I figured that I'd do the job myself. But don't worry boys and girls, your favorite manager can handle himself in the ring, as I've proven tonight. And when in the unlikely event I get in trouble, I have the most dangerous junior heavyweight in the world, The Black Cyborg, watching my back. CHICKEN CLUB, BABY!"

Team #DefendTheFort:

Gringo: "BOOYAH!"

Scott: "Dude, you can't use that, that's taken."

Gringo: "I know, he's my favorite Teen Titan."

Scott: "...Anyway! Just like the Ft Lauderdale Strikers beat Orlando SC, so did we shocked all of PGCW by beating the Arch Rivals. And just like the Strikers are going to win the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup, so are we going to win the PGCW Tag Team Championship Tournament."

Gringo: "And just like at Strikers games we're going to celebrate with meat skewers, Polish sausages, and CHOCOLATE MILK BABY! And just like the Strikers have a section just for Flight 19, so do we have a section for our supporters! Row 19... SEAT 19!"

Scott: "Wait we have assigned seats in the Proving Ground? Also, ONE seat?"

Gringo: "It's where my mom sits!"

Scott: "That's fair. Anyway, we better get ready, cause next week, semi-finals, and we need to keep our clean sheet. DEFEND THE FORT!"

Jimmy The Razor:

"Hey, you know what, that result isn't on me, that was all due to that overweight dork Wrecker Jr. He should have just stayed on the apron and let me dominate those masked nooblets. Soon, I'm going to go one on one with Wrecker Jr, and I'm going to prove to him that you always bet on Razor."

PGCW President Walter Cranston:

"I have two statements tonight, both of them regarding CHICKEN CLUB.

"First, I have talked to the Florida State Athletic Commission regarding Mister Sanders' bounty on Alex Kelley. While the legality of the bounty itself is under review, they have made a ruling on attempts to cash in on said bounty. Any wrestler, manager, official or crewman who attacks Mister Kelley outside of the confines of a wrestling arena- defined by the Commission as the ring and the immediate ringside area- will have any licenses revoked, will be subject to fines, and be banned from competition in the state of Florida, and their violation will be reported to other commissions in the United States who may fine, suspend, and/or ban the offenders if they choose to. In short, anyone who attacks Mister Kelley outside of a wrestling ring will be essentially choosing to end their careers for money that they may lose due to punitive fines.

"Second, I have an update on the status of Mongo. While conussion screenings have as of tonight come up negative, the Ft Lauderdale Psychiatric Hospital has requested that I impose a medical suspension for Mongo so that they may ensure that his treatment is not going to be hampered by such a severe blow like the ones he suffered from Kelley. However, CHICKEN CLUB was registered not as a specific pair as individuals but as a collective, therefore Harland Sanders may replace Mongo as he chooses. If he is unable to find a substitute, however, Black Cyborg will have to foreit the competition."

Episode 5 Promos

William King:

"Kelley, Kelley, Kelley. You made a big mistake, going after my title. You see like I said last week, those three minutes didn't matter. We were both in that ring for over forty minutes, half of that focused on beating the hell out of each other. I beat you, and decisively at that. All those three minutes do is let you claim that you could have won, and maybe the gullible and stupid would believe you and consider you a possible rightful champion.

But now, I will remove all doubt. I will do as I did the last time we met: Take you all across the Proving Ground and beat you so bad you'll be calling me 'Mommy Dearest'. It will be so violent, what my Queen did to Iron XX will look quaint by comparison. I am going to torture you, Kelley. And it will be all your fault."

Alex Kelley:

"You know, I got to be give it to Mongo, he's as tough as he is ugly. I mean, when I hit him with that first AK-47, he got right back up like a goddamn movie monster. But he didn't get up from AK-47 number two, and that's what really matters doesn't it? But it just demonstrates why I know I can beat William King and claim the Openweight title. He'll need three seconds to pin me. I need one second to kick his head off."

Harland Sanders IV:

"Mongo might have a concussion. That's just great. Well you know what Kelley? An eye for an eye may make the world blind but it'll be worth it to hear you scream. I am offering ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS, American, to the person or persons who can put Kelley in the hospital. That's all, I'm done."

Episode 4 Reactions + Tag Tournament Brackets

William King:

"My conquest was inevitable.

The fact that I was number eight was of no consequence. I could have been at number one and it would have made no difference. Well... no, if I had been at number one idiots like Jonny Jones wouldn't have lasted as long as they did. But like William of Normandy took a broadsword in hand and fought his way to conquering England, so I cut a bloody swath of destruction on the seven delusional fools who stood in my way to my throne.

I will watch as the rest of you fight over the scraps that is the tag team title, and see who is next to fall lifeless to my feet.

But what I'm looking forward to more, is what will come next week. Because next week... you'll see what my Queen can do in the ring."

Alex Kelley:


"Three minutes, and three seconds. Those are the two things that kept me away from the Openweight title. William King was three minutes fresher than me, and he managed to get my shoulders down for three seconds. But, I submit that if it was me who drew number eight, the result would have been far more different. No, I submit that if we fought one on one, I would have been the one on top..."

He's interrupted by Harland Sanders IV and CHICKEN CLUB.

HS: "Cry me a river, Kelley. Because YOU had a three minute advantage over my walking engine of destruction Mongo, and King had SIX. Put my monster against you or King... or the both of you... on even terms, and Mongo would be openweight champion, not your wannabe supermodel ass."

AK: "Funny, I remember you were just as confident when I kicked Black Cyborg's circuits in, how'd that go again? Oh no, wait, I know what you want. You want me to see if I can kick Mongo's head so hard his ugly face will be something more photogenic. I mean, I don't mind doing that, but hell all you had to do was ask nicely."

HS: "Really funny, Kelley. You won't be cracking wise once Mongo breaks your jaw and the doctors have to wire it shut. And we won't have to wait long, Kelley, because I just got off the line with PGCW matchmakers. Next week is you and Mongo, one on one, for the first shot at the Openweight Title."

AK: "And I was worried I'd have to earn that shot. You're on."

Kelley puts on sunglasses and walks off, leaving CHICKEN CLUB to strategize for next week.

Episode 3 Reactions + Rules For Victory Road Announced

Risky Business:

DD: "Last week we overheard Ken Archer and Jim Rival calling themselves the two most dangerous individuals in PGCW, and with them being the other registered tag team here, we felt we needed to give them the news."

EA: "They fancy themselves Florida's premier tag team, we've heard them call themselves that in other shows in the state, but apparently they didn't remember about us."

DD: "See you guys are great individual wrestlers, we don't argue that, but two great individuals can't beat a great tag team, that's what we are, and that's why we're focusing on tag gold instead of the Openweight title."

EA: "Drop some MATH on them, Danny."

DD: "Yeah... see, you guys may be five out of five wrestlers, you put that together as a pair of individuals and you get ten. Now we may not be the best singles guys, maybe a pair of fours, but you put my four, and Eric's four together, and we make sixteen, because we're a team and we don't add to each other's strengths, we multiply them."

EA: "MATH."

DD: "So you better hope Ken Archer wins the Openweight title, because if you step into our turf, we're going to subtract teeth from both your mouths."

EA: "That means you'll lose them!"

Johnny Jones:

"What's the deal with my move being called Vanilla Rain? Well, my dad likes to drink after work, and his favorite drink is called a Vanilla Rain... basically, it's vanilla vodka and Mountain Dew. Now I know, how do I know that if I'm under twenty-one, well my old man had me make it for him now and again while he went to unwind from a tough day. Now around this time, I had this haircut that made me look like Vanilla Ice, cause I'm a teenager and I'm in high school, and people would respond by calling me Vanilla Ice. Which I took in stride, I laughed about it... anyway I spent my summers working at a local radio station, and the late night DJ got married, so they had me take over. Well I told my friends about it, they didn't believe me, so I wanted a name that they'd know was me to remove any doubt... I picked DJ Vanilla Rain, and that became my nickname for the rest of high school.

"But enough about that. I had a great time, great match, I feel really good about my chances next week. Lots of tough competition but, hey, I didn't come here for easy trips to the pay window, I wanna make a name for myself and this is the place to be to do it in. If you're a fan of me from before, thanks for getting me on this side of the Gulf Coast, if you were a fan now thanks for your support, and if you're not a fan of me, well... hopefully one day I'll win you over and you'll be chanting 'Go Johnny Go' with the rest."

Murder Dragon and Spider Jack:

The two didn't speak, but they did run into each other backstage, after exchanging a long glance, they shook hands, and Jack patted Dragon on the back as they headed off.

PGCW President Walter Cranston:

"Now that our qualifying competitors are set, I'm ready to formally announce the rules of Victory Road. We're going to be taking our qualifiers and put their names in a hat, drawing them in order. The first two will start the match, at the three minute mark, number three will come out, then at the sixth minute number four, and so on until all eight men are in the match. No countouts, DQs will be in effect, pin and submissions as well. No over the top rope. Last man left, he'll be our Openweight champion."

Episode 2 Reactions: Arch Rivals, Harland Sanders IV, Scott Saphyre

Arch Rivals:

KA: "Yeah, I fought dirty against my own tag partner. So what? I fight dirty against everyone. He knew it was going to happen, right Jim?"

JR: "It's true. Besides, even if I didn't, who cares? We're not friends, our partnership, it's all business. As long as one of us gets the Openweight title, we become that much more in demand as a tag team."

KA: "That's right. We don't respect ANYBODY, not even each other, and I'm willing to gouge out the eyes and kick the balls of my own tag partner, well, you can only imagine what I'll do in Victory Road."

JR: "Archer and I are the most dangerous men in PGCW. He won because he can hit Archer's Arrow at any time, with deadly accuracy. I forgot that for one second, and that one second he capitalized on. No excuses. Next time might be different, but this time, he earned it, just like he'll earn the glory in two weeks time."

KA: "BULLSEYE!"

Harland Sanders IV:

"What you saw tonight is exactly why Black Cyborg accepted my services, and why everyone in PGCW will want to be part of CHICKEN CLUB. I took this man, this monster Mongo, who was rotting in a loony bin, and I turned his rage into a well-oiled machine of DESTRUCTION! That fat loser Megaton will be eating his meals through a straw! If they even sell solid food at whatever stupid comic book convention Megaton crawled out of. I don't know if they do, I'm not a loser like that fat nerd Megaton. I'm a WINNER. Mongo, is a WINNER. Black Cyborg, he's a WINNER. And we're going to take all the winners, bring them into CHICKEN CLUB, and take over Florida. CHICKEN CLUB, BABY!"

Scott Saphyre:

"Man, Wrecker Jr wanted to advance real bad didn't he? Usually I hit Death Wears Blue and the match is over. I hit him with it, and he kicked out. So I figured, 'Maybe I didn't do it right, maybe I didn't get the snap I usually do'. He's a big guy, and when big guys fight you even with leverage it's hard to heft em up the way you want to. So I winded him with a moonsault, hit em with another DWB and it felt like a perfect one. And he kicks out of that too and I'm like, "well hell, I KNOW I hit that one right! Now what?". I considered a submission, but at this point of the match my palms were getting wet, he was sweating, lights are really hot here in the Proving Ground and I knew I had to have it on TIGHT to make Wrecker tap.

"So I waited for him to make a mistake, and whatever his opening set himself up for, that's what I'd use. He wanted to suplex me, but he was tired, and was trying to lift his leg up to get some extra oomph in his hips to lift me. Well, that was the mistake, and it just happened to be perfect for another Death Wears Blue. It's a good thing he didn't get up from that one, I don't think I could have done a fourth! Tough guy, looking forward to tangling with him again. But for now, it's on to the Openweight title. Winning my first belt, in my own hometown? That'd make it all worth it, you know?"

Episode 1 Reactions: William King, Harland Sanders IV, Alex Kelley

William King:

"PGCW, take notice. What you saw was only a glimpse of the brutality I can unleash in the ring. You're all probably thinking 'oh, that was just Iron X, anyone can beat Iron X'. I DIDN'T BEAT IRON X, I ALL BUT DISEMBOWELED HIM!


"I will be the Openweight Champion, I will rule over Proving Ground Championship Wrestling, and I will watch from my throne, with my Queen at my side, as you pieces of human waste fight to earn the honor of having your last breaths taken in my iron grasp. Carpe Mundus Per Jugulum."


Harland Sanders IV:


"Some of you inbreds may be asking what I was doing, coming out with The Black Cyborg instead of my registered client, Mongo. Well, you should probably check the Florida State Athletic Commission guidelines, which say, in part, that a licensed manager does not require to give any promotion due notice before accompanying a wrestler to the ring, so long as said wrestler consents to his presence. 


"Well I am a licensed manager and Black Cyborg did consent to my presence, as I had a sit down talk with him before the show began and made it clear to him that he needs my guidance. Now, Cyborg didn't get the job done tonight. You can't win them all. But The Black Cyborg is a diamond in the rough and I will make him SHINE. And this won't be first recruitment I make here in PGCW, because the Chicken Club is officially open for business."

Alex Kelley :


"Yeah, I'm confident about my chances of being the first PGCW Openweight Champion. But cocky? Come on, I'm not cocky. I didn't give myself the name 'Mister Photogenic'. I'm not your ordindary pretty face, vainglorious jerkass. The reason why I look so good is nothing but a testament to my karate skills. Karate runs in my family, my mom came to the US to teach Karate because she couldn't run a dojo in Japan as a woman. My great-grandfather, he learned from Gichin Funakoshi, the founder of Shotokan Karate.

"See the way of karate is not just to hit someone, but to hit them without being hit yourself. And it's because I'm that good at hitting without being hit that I'm Mister Photogenic. And if anyone in PGCW wants to take that nickname away from me, well they're welcome to try. Just make sure to book an appointment with your dentist first."
