Thanks to DeSean's TCW roster I was able to sort of fantasy book TCW. Remember, this is different from the e-fed, and I will take some creative licenses with the storylines and all. Just keep an open mind and see the angles through to the end. I hope you enjoy and feel free to correct me on anything or making booking suggestions.

(BTW, The Dames can be a jerk in this game, but I use him as my recapper because he gives match background and all.)

Valerie Stern is backstage, and announces that tonight we will see Inferno and Freya Green fight one on one.

My Opinion: Ohh, looky. A **3/4 match!

William Shamrock is backstage. He wanted to rip into David Hardy. Not literally, of course. That would just be nasty. Instead, this was a good way to build up to an eventual match.

What a cheap shot! William Shamrock climbs each turnbuckle in turn, working the crowd as he celebrates his victory

My Opinion: *1/4 rating. Don't be upset. There are people in third world countries who can barely afford one star, let alone one and a quarter.

Inferno is backstage, when Izumi Matsushita comes over. She proposes that they form a tag team (AN: actually, she wants to be his manager but there was no angle option for that), but Inferno simply laughs and walks off, leaving a disappointed Izumi behind.

My Opinion: Do you know what * means? It's the equivalent of buying your favorite soft drink, looking under the cap and seeing 'Sorry, Try again.' At least you got the soft drink.

We see Darkness arriving backstage.

Jason Dante vs Cage.

Match Background: None.

The Match: Tiger bomb by Jason Dante, which is nowhere near as cool as a botched Pedigree but gets the job done. High Angle DDT by Jason Dante just SPIKES Cage down!

Flying shoulder tackle by Darkness sends Bamilicious CRASHING to the mat. Darkness moves in for the kill. Darkness DDT! 1....2....3.

My Opinion: These guys worked SO HARD...for a ** rating. Something went wrong somewhere, didn't it?

Darkness is walking up the aisle carrying the Unified World Heavyweight belt. Out of the crowd comes the returning Bleeder, and he attacks, flooring Darkness. Bleeder grabs the belt off the floor and escapes through the crowd.

Notes afterwards:

We got a 7.28 rating for 'Friction'!
The attendance level was 8006 people.
We made $320240 from ticket sales.

You overused Darkness at the last show, the fans started to get sick of seeing him. (Bah, just cuz I used him in 3 segments. x.x)

Darkness and Big Bamilicious didn't 'click' in their match, maybe due to their mismatched skills causing their styles not to gel?

So let me know how I did, any changes I can make. Should I drop Havoc? Booking for two shows a week might burn me out and it's the lower rated of the two shows.

Aco beat Drakus? Wow.

So, anybody have a clue what I should do with the extra show (Havoc)? Should I let it stay, or drop it?

If you don't want to book it, axe it!

I lost? Bullflop!
