WAR OF THE WORDS #1

[In your standard backstage hallway, three Samoans, complete with tribal tattoos, unkempt hair, necklaces of shells, bones through nostrils, etc. all act like the stereotypical Samoan wrestler.]

OFFRAMP: Foolish humans!

MOSES: Prepare to die!

OFFRAMP: For we are…

MOSES & OFFRAMP: The Annoyed Samoans.

[Gradually it becomes clear that they speak perfect Americanized English. First, the meso-endomorphic one speaks.]

MOSES: My name is Moses Pupulolo.

[Pan over to one that looks like a man-ball.]

OFFRAMP: I am Offramp Alebua.

[Pan up to the huge monster with braided hair.]

OZZIE: Spaghetti.

OFFRAMP: And this is Ozzie Emshamo.

MOSES: And why are we Annoyed Samoans? My colleague Offramp will elucidate.

OFFRAMP: [aside] I’ll what?

MOSES: [aside] You’ll tell ‘em.

OFFRAMP: Oh, okay. Basically we’ve been watching wrestling all these years and we’ve been seeing all the Samoan stereotypes come in and out the door and we felt the need to provide positive Samoan archetypes.

MOSES: Absolutely. All you’ve been getting is this horrible “ooga booga, mi wanum shrink some hedz bullseet” for all these years, and we felt it was about time to show off what Samoan wrestlers are really capable of.

OFFRAMP: Ladies and gentlemen, would it surprise you to know that Ozzie Emshamo was part of the team that helped synthesize a new kind of polymer--

OZZIE: I like jam.

OFFRAMP: --A polymer that happens to be in use in exterior coolant piping on a little thing called, oh I don’t know… THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION?

MOSES: I think that’s pretty neat, and I guess the modern wrestling world doesn’t. They’d rather see us shrug off punches to the head and eat tourists.

OFFRAMP: Well… I do eat tourists.

OZZIE: Spaghetti.

MOSES: That may be true, Offramp, but pretty much everyone forgets the garnish of flying fish roe and asparagus , and my personal opinion is that the inspired dusting of red wine vinegar single-handedly took you from two stars to three in the Zagat International Dining Guide.

OFFRAMP: Oh, you flatterer…

MOSES: No, it’s true. Ladies and gentlemen, how many of YOU are in the Zagat guide? Exactly what I thought.

OZZIE: Tuesday.

OFFRAMP: And Moses here enjoys literary criticism. Have any of you composed a treatise on the similarities of the style of meter used by Emily Bronte and e.e. cummings?

MOSES: So there you have it, that’s why we’re Annoyed.

OFFRAMP: Do not annoy us further or we will KILL YOU FOOLISH HUMANS.

MOSES: Uh, listen, Offramp, about the “foolish humans” thing…

OFFRAMP: Dial it back?

MOSES: In a nutshell, yes.

[Fade.]




ON JULY 1, 2009...

[Black and white footage from the DCWL in 2005.]

The referee gets in Bombay's face about the hair pulling,
threatening to disqualify Ash for his continued actions.
Bombay barks right back at the referee,
and the two begin shouting at each other at full volume!
Meanwhile, Al Perez is struggling to rise up from the floor,
as Rex Creed stands over him.
Perez groggily looks up at Creed,
just in time to see Rex bringing the beer stein over his head,
and smashing it directly into Al's face!
Glass and blood splatter everywhere,
as Perez's eyes roll back into his head,
and he collapses face-first to the concrete!

HP: "YES! HA! This freaking match just got a WHOLE LOT better!"

RM: "Al Perez is a bloddy mess now, folks, and Rex Creed isn't done
with him yet!"

The referee hasn't noticed Creed's actions at all,
as he continues to display his authority over Ash Bombay.
Creed yanks Perez up from the floor,
holding his head up by the hair, from behind.
He proceeds to wrap the barbed wire around Al's forehead,
making it extra tight to squeeze a few drops of blood out,
before forcing Perez up to his feet,
and slamming him face-first into the steel post!
The barbed wire digs deep into the flesh of Perez,
turning his face into a complete crimson mask.
Creed grins at his handiwork,
forcefully pulling the barbed wire off of Al's head,
leaving Perez up on his knees,
wobbling in a state of semi-consciousness.
Finally, Creed winds up with the hockey stick,
and brings it straight down over Perez's head,
cracking it in two, and sending more blood splattering!

...WHO MADE WHO? WHO MADE YOU?




[A parking lot, daytime. The sun is shining and Blaze Crimson has returned to her duty as head interviewer for the DCWL.]

BLAZE: Blaze Crimson here and it’s good to be back. The DCWL returns is Spokane with “Party Like It’s 2002” and already the first two contenders for the Dangerous Championship have been named. Wolf Masterson and Derrick L. Ford will face each other in a 15-minute time limit match to determine the first ever Dangerous Champion, but one man feels left out in the cold in the transition to Dangerous Wrestling.

[Pan out to reveal the former Jive Pawnbroker, who looks a lot larger. His teeth are now pearly white, and he sports a close cropped beard and afro.]

BLAZE: And that man is B.A. Jive who was widely rumoured to have been one of those two men fighting for the Dangerous Championship until the signing of Derrick Ford. B.A., you’ve been named as the first challenger for the Dangerous Championship at “Ruckus in the Rockies,” but are you unhappy about being left out in the cold in the first match.

[Jive Pawnbroker’s usual ghetto slang is now suddenly a matter-of-fact southern accent.]

JIVE: Well, Blaze, we got Derrick Ford going around saying he’s not worried about the current crop of DCWL stars which is a lie, because he faced me in untelevised tag matches back in 2008 and I whupped his ass on several occasions. And I’m not worried about Wolf Masterson, because that cracker is so skinny that when the Mafia went and collected on his gambling debts, they stuck the cement shoes on him and he still floated right back up to the top of the river.

[The old-school zoom in with the camera.]

JIVE: What gets me going is that I can’t go and win the first Dangerous Championship for all my fans and I’m going to have to wait until Ruckus in the Rockies to snap that skinny twig Masterson or take two hundred years of aggression on that pretty boy Ford. I want to beat you boys for that Dangerous Championship worse than you two want to beat each other for it. I will whupp you up and down Kelowna real good and win my championship for all my fans in the DCWL.

[He angrily shakes his head.]

JIVE: UGH, it just makes me sick, Blaze, when I think about either of those two crackers walking around with my gold.

[Jive walks off; focus back on Blaze.]

BLAZE: There it is, B.A. Jive challenges the Dangerous Champion at Ruckus in the Rockies. But coming up at the DCWL’s relaunch, it’s Derrick L. Ford vs. “Something Better” Wolf Masterson.




(Open in a posh office, decked out with all the finest things in life - mini-bar, mahogany desk, cushy leather seats and a grand view of a city (from quite a height) in the background. Yes, it's an office fit for an oil tycoon...or his son. Welcome to the office of Derrick L. Ford. Smiling an altogether unpleasant smile, the former Platinum Champion addresses the audience wearing a navy blue suit, white shirt, red tie, and white Stetson cowboy hat. When he speaks, it’s in the best non-regional diction that money can buy.)

FORD: well, well, well. The day that I never thought would come has arrived. You know Kyle...forgive me, but I never had the taste for formality that my former employer had...when I heard you were re-opening this great company I was genuinely shocked. How does one react to Kyle Hayden overseeing the rebirth of the DCWL? Perhaps the same way someone might react if Kenneth Lay was brought back from the dead and Enron showed up on the stock market. You took a profitable company with a successful Commissioner and bankrupted the damn thing in less than a year.

(The grin widens as Ford's eyes seem to glow.)

FORD: So, Kyle, forgive me if I'm not your biggest fan. After everything you put us through, did you really imagine that you could re-open this company, even if the name is slightly different, without some form of retribution?

(The glow fades.)

FORD: Don't get me wrong, why I'm here has little if anything to do with the former Commissioner. He sends his regards, by the way, and wished you luck just before he went out in front of tens of thousands of fans in Tokyo. He hopes that you will someday be as popular with DCWL fans as he is in his new home.

(A chuckle.)

FORD: No, this is about what you took from ME. This is about the final Demented Quest, when your Gorilla cost me my rightful shot at the DCWL Grand Championship. It's about the fact that I never got to defend my Platinum Championship, to establish my legacy as the best Platinum Champion of all time!

(The intensity returns.)

FORD: At "2002," I am going to walk into the ring as the final DCWL Platinum Champion and I will walk out as the first DCWL Dangerous Champion. After all, who's going to stop me? Wolf Masterson? How hard up for talent are you? No wonder you signed a man who is as close to a sworn enemy that you're gonna get for the very first show. The rest of the roster doesn't concern me either, but I'm not going to run them down. That, after all, was the purview of a man whose career you ruined. Unlike you, I have respect for those who are true champions.

(An idea occurs.)

FORD: Maybe you think YOU can stop me. After all, there's no reason I shouldn't be in the title match. You admitted that much yourself. So maybe you have a backup plan. Well, if you do, I have three words for you: Bring. It. On. If you in any way interfere with the match either before it takes place or while it's going on, you'll immediately undermine everything you tried to do in resurrecting the corpse of the old DCWL. You won't risk it. Not now. Not this early. Not with all the "no interference" measures you've taken. No, in that ring it will be Derrick Ford vs. Wolf Masterson. It will decide the DCWL Dangerous Championship. It will not be a contest.

(The camera zooms in as Ford points a finger - adorned with a large golden ring - at the camera.)

FORD: You and your goon can't do anything about it. It is destiny. It is the beginning of a new era for the DCWL - The era of DERRICK! L! FORD!

(Fade out.)

DCWL Extra - Kevin "Killdozer" Alloy vs. GRRRR Guy

The DCWL celebrates its relaunch with the purchase of a new ring. However, a dispute erupts between Deputy Commissioner Kevin "Killdozer" Alloy and Head Trainer GRRRR Guy in the DCWL dojo as the ring is set up (allegedly over a Froster from Wendy's GRRRR Guy assumed was his). Since a referee is in attendance, they decide to have an impromptu match in front of the crew to settle their differences.

"Crapload" of people signed for Show #1

The DCWL is pleased to announce seven new names to appear at the upcoming Show #1. They include:

• Quebecois strongman Denis Cyr.
• British wrestling legend Brian Irwin
• Up and coming underdog Kid Way Cool
• Master showman "Something Better" Wolf Masterson.
  
• And three more faces familiar to viewers of the classic DCWL: Alton West, Porno Anderson, and B.A. Jive.

In coming days, an announcement is also expected regarding the Dangerous Championship, with a new champion expected to be crowned at Show #1.

First new full-time roster member announced.

The DCWL is pleased to announce the signing of Derrick Ford to the full-time roster. This Houston, Texas native joined the DCWL in 2006 and at the time of the fed's closure in 2008 he had risen to the position of Platinum Champion. Derrick Ford is a classic combination of old-school brawling and new school power wrestling. Full bio available here:

When reached for comment, DCWL Commissioner Kyle Hayden said, "although Mr. Ford and I have had our differences in the past, I'm sure we can iron it out, set it aside, and be professional."

He added, "why are you giggling? I wasn't being funny," before concluding with, "okay, get the hell out of my office."

Latest FAQ and App.

1. INTRODUCTION

What is the DCWL?

The DCWL was a Simulated Sports Entertainment (aka, ewrestling) environment, where we attempt to recreate the atmosphere of a real working Professional Wrestling Promotion - complete with Champions, Curtain Jerkers, Politics, House Shows, etc - The good, the bad, and the ugly sides of the Pro Wrestling Business.

Throughout the years, the DCWL existed through various incarnations, each of which used the initials "DC" for different acronyms to reflect the type of fed it was, e.g. Devil's Cradle, Destiny's Creation. The most recent incarnation (Demented Creations Wrestling League, 2002-2008) was among the most successful, nearly capturing the national stage before folding in mid-2008.

Having acquired the copyright to the DCWL name, former executive producer Kyle Hayden seeks to rebuild the brand in the North American Prairies in front of a couple thousand fans at a time.


2. STRUCTURE

a. How are matches decided?

To make the DCWL as low-stress as possible, matches are decided by using the Playstation 2 game “Fire Pro Wrestling Returns.” The information from a character’s app is fed into the game (with a little artistic license) and match results are simulated. Each character will be given roughly the same statistical balance to make winning and losing as fair as possible. For instance, the 6’ 9” power wrestler and 5’ 10” high flyer will be each be given roughly the same amount of attributes (weighted in different skills, of course).

b. Who are freelancers?

To aid in bolstering the roster (and for various payroll reasons known only to Kyle Hayden) non-contracted stars are brought every so often to create new match-ups. In OOC terms, these are NPC wrestlers used for an extra challenge. Players are welcome to start handling them as full-time wrestlers if interested.

c. Hey, I have Fire Pro, can I send my edit sheet?

Hells yes. But be aware that your character may be tweaked to better balance with the rest of the fed.

d. If the results are simmed, then what do handlers do?

By making consistent quality flashes, participating on the Discussion board, and just being all around involved, your character(s) will receive permanent boosts to their stats in the Fire Pro game, which will make them more competitive. For example, if your character got beat by the nasty freelance wrestler, challenge them and write a couple of solid flashes, and when you get a rematch a couple shows later, you’ll probably win.

e. What are “Trios?”

After the relative failure of the tag team division in the previous DCWL incarnation, it was decided to look to a new format: a 6-man tag division. This division will take on greater importance with a mixture of specialized three-man teams and after the development of stables as the DCWL grows.


3. CHARACTER PARTICIPATION

a. What is a roleplay submission?

Roleplays are the most active way to participate in the DCWL. Submissions are released as a packet on War of the Words, with one flash packet per show. It is the greatest opportunity for character development, often with a view of a character in their regular life, away from the ring.

b. How is that different from an on-card submission?

On-card submissions are limited to shows, and typically take place somewhere backstage in the arena. Often, these submissions involve more than one character, as rivalries are developed, and alliances are formed between characters.

c. What is a pre-match interview?

To be submitted between the flash packet and the actual show, a pre-match interview is a maximum thirty-second trash talk segment to a fixed camera, like ROH’s HDnet program: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPckQ-rE6zA

d. Are there strats?

No. However, if the match your character is scheduled for is a major one, you are allowed to request a ONE TIME ONLY minor change in moveset, ring attire, etc. Please note that changes in moveset or logic may not even appear in the match, so use caution.

e. This is off topic, but didn't "Back To The Future II" correctly predict that the Florida Marlins would win the 1997 World Series?

Snopes.com says: "As intriguing as it might be to believe so, the film Back to the Future II, the first sequel to the hit 1985 movie Back to the Future, made no prediction, correct or otherwise, about the results of the 1997 World Series. At the beginning of the film, time-travelling scientist Doc Brown takes Marty McFly forward in time to 21 October 2015 in an effort to alter the future and prevent Marty's (as yet unborn) children from ending up in prison. While in the future year 2015, Marty watches a holographic sports news broadcast announcing that the Chicago Cubs have swept an unnamed Miami team (represented by a gator, not a marlin) to win the World Series. This broadcast inspires Marty to buy a sports almanac and take it back to the past with him so that he can make accurate bets on future sporting events, but the contents of the almanac are not revealed in the film."


4. EVENTS

a. What are the DCWL's regularly released events?

The DCWL revolves around two regular releases. War of the Words is a roleplay batch, usually sent once per show. The shows themselves are designed primarily for DVD and online rental release, so the quality of matches is of utmost importance. Each show will be numbered and subtitled. Every few shows, one may be designated a super card; this will be announced in advance.

b. Does the DCWL hold pay-per-view events?

No, given the business model. However, every few shows, one may be designated a super card; this will be announced in advance. Special promotional weight will be given to one particular match, be it a special gimmick or an anticipated meeting between two feuding wrestlers.

c. Where is DCWL based?

Previously a near-national oganization, events will now take place in the Central United States / Canadian Prairie Provinces, which includes the Spokane-area, Idaho, Montana and the Dakotas, Minnesota, Northwestern Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the B.C. interior including Kelowna and the Okanogan Valley.


5. CHAMPIONSHIP TITLES

a. What title belts can I compete for in the DCWL?

At present, only one is activated: the DCWL Dangerous Championship, which is defended every show. This is considered the secondary singles championship and is defended in bouts that last only 15 minutes. This belt is designed to reward the aggressively minded as well as the defensively capable.

b. What other belts will be available?

Once the roster has a solid number of full-time wrestlers, the DCWL Grand Championship will be re-activated and an 8-man tournament will be held to determine the first champion. The Grand Championship has a long history and is considered the primary championship of the DCWL. This belt will be defended every two or three shows.

Shortly after the Grand Championship is activated, the Trios Championship will be made available. This belt is shared between three individuals and will be defended every other show in 6-man tag matches.

Rumors persist that the Plunderweight Championship is being defended, but Mr. Hayden would like to assure you that this is not the case, no matter what you have heard.


6. OTHER STUFF

a. The archives.

Every DCWL flash packet and card is located here: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/dcwl/. Sometimes we all have to sacrifice a few messages to the Yahoo! Group Gods, so consider bookmarking this page and referring back to it every so often. It also contains everything the fed ever released from 2002-2008, so sit back and read an old show or two.

b. The board.

Our discussion forum, bulletin board, funny YouTube video posting dump, mosh pit. http://dangerouswrestling.proboards.com/index.cgi. You will need to be approved for activation (spambots are always a menace).

c. The blog.

All news, all the matches, and all sorts of … other … crap. http://dangerouswrestling.blogspot.com/

d. Quality is job #1.

One look at our schedule and you can see we keep a pretty deliberate pace around here. It doesn't have to be a 5000-word dissertation deconstructing the human game of chess, but everyone around here knows you're not going to get anywhere by bombing a board with one twenty-line RP with HTML a day. You got lots of time around here, so sit back and enjoy the pace.

e. Pardon our dust.

...But we are renovating. Trying out new things, meeting new people; it's never (too) easy. Cards may be late, so-and-so may be flaking on that big angle you've been planning. It happens. We've all had it done to us.

f. Who's who?

http://dangerouswrestling.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=npcstaff will answer all the NPC stuff you need to know.

g. Ladies welcome?

As of the time of this writing, we’re only accepting applications for male wrestlers. A female division may be opened up at a later point, and there may be a couple of exhibition matches as well.

h. Managers welcome?

If your character has a manager / valet / spokesman / bodyguard you may include them, but they are barred from ringside. The DCWL has instituted a strict non-interference policy, so don’t expect any run-ins either.

i. How many characters may I handle?

One full-time singles wrestler. When the Trios division opens up, you may handle a trio squad as well. If you want to add another character, it will be added to the freelance pool and only show up every three or four shows.

j. I want to tweak how my character works in the ring.

I’ll allow some tweaking to occur. For example, if you think your character does too many Irish whips or doesn‘t taunt enough, I can fix that easily. But don’t expect your moveset to change with every show; that’s cheating.

Hell Freezes Over?

[Meanwhile… not far away…]

“And it’s all LCD?”

“Sure. We’re not going hi-def on the releases anyway, but you never know.”

[Fade in on a meeting in an arena while a stage crew works in the background. Present is the former Ratt Klyczofvski (who now goes by Kyle Hayden), his goon Kevin Alloy (who has acquired the nickname Killdozer), a young woman with mocha skin in a referee get-up named Rachelle, and an Eddie Izzard-looking fellow named Chris Chazz, who was last seen on commentary for VideoWire.]

HAYDEN: “And the commentary position… let’s put it right here.”

[He places a small part of a model on a larger model-- one with a ring and an entrance set. The video screen of the entrance set is emblazoned with the letters “DCWL.”]

CHAZZ: “Yeah, I don’t think John and I will have any sightline problems, provided his LASIK goes okay. Hey, one more question about the Video Wall…”

HAYDEN: “Shoot.”

CHAZZ: “It’s going to be a real video screen, right? It’s not just going to be a big cardboard cutout, is it?”

[Hayden, Alloy, and Chazz all share their fake laughs. Rachelle the referee just gets a disgusted “what an awful joke” look on her face.]

HAYDEN: “Cardboard cutouts, heh. You’re still a regular five-speed gearbox ain’t you, Chazz?”

[Cut to a sit-down interview in another part of the arena with Kyle Hayden.]

HAYDEN: “What else can I say. This has been a lifelong dream to promote my own promotion, and when we finally brokered the deal for the DCWL name, I was over the moon. It’s meant a few sacrifices on my part--”

[Cut to a brief shot of Kyle Hayden walking past the bottle of name brand cola in the grocery store and picking up the grocery store brand.]

HAYDEN: “--But I think in the end it’s been worth it.”

[Cut to a similar interview with Kevin “Killdozer” Alloy, who looks alarmingly like Walter Sobchak.]

ALLOY: “My appointment as Deputy Commissioner was pretty much the consequence of Commissioner Hayden’s attempt to make a different wrestling landscape.”

[Cut to Kevin Alloy walking in the backstage area while his voiceover from the interview continues.]

ALLOY: “Obviously we’ve had to scale back operations somewhat since we’re starting over fresh with a brand new infrastructure.”

[He stops at a couple of frustrated-looking technicians who seem to be having difficulty with a piece of lighting equipment.]

ALLOY: “So Kyle wants to project the best product and most unique product available.”

[Alloy listens to the technicians complains and eases them aside.]

ALLOY: “The DCWL has a strict no-interference policy… wrestlers are allowed to use weapons to a small extent, but the ones who don’t usually end up cleaning their clocks these days…”

[Alloy angrily grabs the malfunctioning equipment and tosses it in the air, somehow chokeslamming it to the ground.]

ALLOY: “And we’re going to try to bring in some special guest wrestler now and again. Basically the business model is that any DCWL show is going to be one you’ll want to go back to.”

[Alloy calmly picks up the equipment and hands it to the technicians.]

ALLOY: “And so, the office of the Commissioner is the one devoted to the business model…”

[The technicians plug the equipment in and it a bright beam of light shoots out of it. They smile at Alloy, who gives a thumbs up and continues his walk backstage. Cut back to Alloy being interviewed.]

ALLOY: “…So my job is largely in enforcement.”

[Cut back to the meeting at the set model.]

ALLOY: “I do want to raise a concern, and I think we should discuss this.”

HAYDEN: “Oh, that’s right…”

ALLOY: “Security.”

HAYDEN: “So where should we put the snipers?”

CHAZZ: “Yeah, we don’t want a repeat of Ark of Apocalypse 2008.”

ALLOY: “One up here…”

[He points to the top of the video wall with his pencil, and then over at an area is the seats.]

ALLOY: “Another one in the tech position, and maybe at the commentary position, if we don’t move it again.”

[An exasperated Rachelle raises her hand.]

RACHELLE: “Hang on, is this necessary?”

[Hayden suddenly stops the conversation. He laughs to himself.]

HAYDEN: “She does make a good point.”

[He looks straight at Chazz.]

HAYDEN: “How are your marksmanship skills.”

CHAZZ: “Well, a sniper rifle isn’t all that different from a Daisy Air Rifle, right.”

HAYDEN: “Yeah, that counts.”

ALLOY: “Well, yeah, that makes sense. Why hire another guy?”

HAYDEN: “Right, if there’s a skilled sniper already on the payroll why go to the extra expense?”
