TUESDAY TOUGH LOVE

August 1, 2006

As the camera comes on to start the show we head right to the ring where Erik Flamebeard is already in the ring along with his Followers, Darkiller, Atatange and Tucker. The crowd is booing them.


Flamebeard: "Let me get right to it. July Mayhem was a partial success for my Followers. While Darkiller lost the Hardcore Title to Smokin' Warlord, Tucker beat the pulp out of Marmel. But tonight is a new era for us. I'll explain that in a minute. First I'd like to welcome back from injury, Digamma."


The crowd boos as Digamma comes to the ring and shakes hands with everyone.

Digamma: "It's good to be back. I have a message for Smokin' Warlord. I haven't forgotten that you put me on the shelf for the last month and a half."

Flamebeard cuts him off. "Digamma, that will be handled in due time. Now I'd like to welcome the newest member of Flamebeard's Followers, Sachmo."

The crowd is really showing major heat as Sachmo comes out and shakes hands with the Followers.


Flamebeard: "Sachmo, I'd like to officially welcome you as a member of Flamebeard's Followers."

Sachmo: "Thank you. Marmel, I want you to know that it was nothing personal on Saturday. It was business."

Flamebeard: "Now onto more important matters. We have been tolerant of others too long. Tonight marks a change. From this day forward you are either with us or against us. So, Illinifan, while you are a great Television Champion, you either join us or you will lose that title to one of us. Technically Superior, you have also helped us on more than one occassion. But again, either join us or suffer the consequences. That goes for anyone else in the back. Join us or pay the price. We will have all the titles around our waist eventually."

The music of Marmel plays and the crowd erupts as he comes running down the aisle and heads straight for Tucker and Sachmo. He gets a couple of shots in before the rest of the Followers step in and Marmel is soon laying out cold on the canvas.

Flamebeard: "Marmel, you are dumber than we thought. This is a message to anyone in the back who doesn't want to join us. This is in your future."


With that Flamebeard's Followers leave the ring.

The camera cuts to the back where Erik Flamebeard goes into The Afoci's locker room where he is getting ready for his tag team match later. The Afoci sees Flamebeard and stands up.

The Afoci: "What do you want?"

Flamebeard: "Can I have a word with you?"

The Afoci: "I'm kinda busy. I have a match in a little while, Flamebeard."

Flamebeard: "Call me Erik."

The Afoci: "I prefer Flamebeard."

Flamebeard: "Have it your way. I was talking to some of my Followers and they agree that you have some untapped potential. I am offering you a spot in our group."

The Afoci: "No thanks."

Flamebeard: "I urge you to reconsider."

The Afoci: "Are you deaf? I said no! When I win a title I want it to be by my own merits. Not by someone helping me."

Flamebeard: "That's too bad. Because you won't ever win a title if you are in a hospital. Guys!"



The rest of the Followers come in from the hall and ambush the Afoci and leave him in a pool of his own blood.

Page: The Afoci is a fighter. I'm sure he will find a way to make it. Up next is a Hardcore Title match. Smokin' Warlord won the Hardcore Title at July Mayhem by defeating Darkiller. But there is no rest for him as he faces one half of Technically Superior, Larrymcg.

The camera goes backstage to NevStar and The Afoci where The Afoci is getting up slowly.

NevStar: You don't have to do this. I will find a replacement.

The Afoci: No way. We are a team. It's time to get back on the winning track and get in line for another title shot.

NevStar: But there is no way you are 100%. You know, if they would have asked me to join, I'm not sure what I would have said.

The Afoci looks at NevStar incredulously.

The Afoci: What! You see how they operate!

NevStar: Just kidding buddy. (NevStar slaps The Afoci on the back, which causes him to wince.)

The Afoci: Let's just go beat the heck out of Triple K. I will take it out on them.

NevStar heads to the ring followed by a confused Afoci.

The Afoci: What was up with that?

NevStar: What are you talking about?

The Afoci: Why did you wait so long to tag me in?

NevStar: It was clear you weren't 100%. Look at what happened. I should have finished the match.

The Afoci: We are a team.

NevStar: Maybe you should just take a week off to recuperate.

The Afoci: I'm fine. In fact on Friday, let's beat the pulp out of those guys. If they hadn't cheated, we would have won.

NevStar: Ok, I made a mistake. If you want to go with them again, then let's do it.

NevStar and The Afoci shake hands and head to the back.

Page: Looks like they patched things up.

Heenan: NevStar was right. The Afoci didn't belong in the ring tonight. He probably has a concussion.

Page: He is not a quitter Heenan. Let's go to the back where our cameras have caught Marmel with Co-Commissioner Gold.


Marmel: I don't care how you do it. I want both of them in the ring tonight.

Gold: Look what happened to The Afoci after he was beaten down. Are you sure you are ok to wrestle in a handicap match?

Marmel: I am fine. And who said anything about a handicap match? I will have a partner.

Gold: Fine. Tonight you and your partner will take on Sachmo and Tucker.

Marmel: Thanks.


Marmel walks away smiling. He takes out his cell phone and dials a number.

Marmel: Hey, are you ready to do this tonight?

There is a pause and we can't hear the other end of the conversation.

Marmel: I know this is sooner than expected. But I need you here tonight.

Another pause.

The music of SkyDog plays and we are ready for another edition of The Truth.


SkyDog: Welcome everyone to another edition of The Truth. Tonight my guest is the FOFC Lightweight Champion, Coffee Warlord.

The music of Coffee Warlord plays and he comes down to the ring to the delight of the crowd. He shakes hands as he goes around the ring and finally enters.

SkyDog: Welcome Coffee.

Coffee: Thank you for having me.

SkyDog: No problem. You asked me to be on this show because you had something to say to the fans.

Coffee: Yes. First of all I wanted to apologize to the fans for my unprofessional behavior during my match at July Mayhem. As the Champion I should show more respect for my opponents regardless of who they are. I am the Franchise Player of FOFC Wrestling and I should start acting like it. I can beat anyone without resorting to such tactics. That's not to say I won't show aggression, but I went just a little overboard. Second, I would like to apologize to WVU FAN for my actions. I may not like him but I again should have showed some restraint.


The music of WVU FAN plays interrupting Coffee and the crowd boos. He comes in the ring and grabs the mic.


WVU FAN: You're sorry? You're sorry? No, you're pathetic. Just to let you know, I wouldn't be apologizing for beating the tar out of you. And that will happen later tonight as we have a return match for the title.

Coffee: Why wait until later. Let's do it right now.

Coffee attacks WVU FAN and they go at it fast and furious until a host of referees come down to break it up.

Rating: 57%

Page: A return match for the Lightweight Title right here tonight.

Heenan: Coffee is a wuss. He apologized.

Page: He is a man who admits to a mistake. Something you have never done. Up next is a tag team match that Marmel requested.





Sachmo and Tucker come out to their music and the crowd gives them a lot of heat. Then the music of Marmel plays and out he comes and the crowd cheers. He stops just short of the ring and grabs a mic.

Marmel: Sachmo and Tucker, as much as I want to jump in and beat your asses right now, I have a surprise for you. Here is my partner.

Out comes a guy through the apron and he joins Marmel at ringside.

Marmel: Don't recognize him. Well maybe this will jog your memory. Put up the picture on the screen.

A picture of a skinny-pimpled faced kid appears on the jumbotron. Suddenly the jaws of Sachmo and Tucker drop with recognition.

Marmel: Now you know who he is? Good. But let me fill the fans in on the details. This is PilotMan. Sachmo, Tucker and I all went to high school with him. We weren't too nice to him. If fact we were bullies. I felt bad after but I wanted to be in with the crowd. But now he is all grown up and him and I have patched things up. I have admitted to my wrongdoings to him and he has accepted my apology. Now he wants revenge. So, you two are in for a beating.

With that Marmel and PilotMan charge in the ring.

Coffee Warlord vs. WVU FAN for the FOFC Lightweight Title.


WVU FAN comes out first to his music and the crowd is giving him lots of heat. Next is Coffee Warlord as his music plays. As he gets into the ring, all five members of Flamebeard's Followers enter the ring and attack both Coffee Warlord and WVU FAN. Both Coffee and WVU FAN fight them off for a couple minutes, but the numbers soon get to them and they are both left laying out cold. Flamebeard grabs a mic.

Flamebeard: This is what's in store for the rest of you in the back who don't join us. We are running the show...

Suddenly the lights go out in the entire arena. After about a minute the lights come back on with the Followers still in the ring and Coffee and WVU FAN are gone. In the middle of the ring is a baseball bat. The Followers look down and see it and their jaws drop. Flamebeard instructs his Followers to leave quickly and they exit to the back.

Note to all my readers. The game is very limited in terms of angles. Basically I write 90% of it myself. That's why the shows take so long to run. I only have so much free time with a 3 year old at home and still working full time as is my wife.

I'd like everyone's opinion on what works and doesn't. Is it keeping you guessing? Or is it predictable? Anything that could be done to make it better without a lot more work? Just trying to make it as fun as possible. Thanks to all who read and respond.
