https://images.app.goo.gl/C5LPk7W3jUYwM3RDA    Can someone cut this belt for me? This is the only pic I could find of this belt. I hope there's a way to move Dr. Death's arm from the belt during the cutting process.

 Found this online, might be useful.

I really like these updates. You guys do a great job collaborating and doing your best to keep this as accurate as possible. I've got a few questions, though.

What was the reason for combining DGUSA and EVOLVE? I mean, it makes complete sense, but it's just...not something that ever would have crossed my mind. Just wondering what brought you guys to that decision, cause it's one of those logical things that would make you go, "why didn't we think of this forever ago" ya know?

Also, I noticed two things missing, and probably will later: What happened with Jersey All Pro? I noticed it isn't on my game. They still book alot of top name guys, what's the reason for removing the promotion? I also noticed there's no Ring Ka King. Another more notable promotion missing. Could be useful as a "development" promotion for TNA. But, with the lack of "Asia" as a region, I could see why it hasn't been added yet.

Anyway, you guys are great at this, and many thanks for your efforts.

I believe that DGUSA and EVOLVE merged because they started using the same crew/have a core roster that was mixed and was easier to work together.

JAPW and IWA Mid-South are two promotions that will have to be active for at least one full year before they get back in the game, this is mainly due to the fact they kept opening and closing about 2-3 times over the past couple of years and its easier just to not include them when you knew they would shut down in 2 months.

Oh wow, I hadn't even realized JAPW had closed at one point.

Depressing how some the top Indy companies from the Big Indy Boom of 2002-2006 are dwindling away.

Christ. I haven't been here in forever, haven't played TEW05 in forever. Tried to get this database into the game and remembered about the massive headache this thing causes. Could anyone direct me to a "how-to" so I can get this thing going again? Thanks in advance, guys.

Ah, cheers, good sir.

Honestly, Rhando SEEMS like a ripoff of Rhino and is often booked that way just because he looks ALOT like Rhino, but he actually works a GREAT Shelley/Danielson type of style with a lot of Strong/Joe strongstyle mixed in, and he's a great heel, working the crowd really well, too. I'm gonna be working on him some and slowly develop him.

Danielson: “Listen, Chris, I know, and I’m sorry. But, hey, I’m going to keep up my end of the bargain, don’t worry. Let’s just get through this match tonight, and then you get your title shot, alright?”

Post Show Promo

AJ Styles is backstage, sitting in his chair, with his head hanging low.

Styles: “Two months ago, Chris Daniels turned on me, and reformed The Prophecy. The next month, I asked for help from an old partner, Jerry Lynn. We couldn’t put The Prophecy away. So I called another former partner, Amazing Red. I thought he’d be the x-factor I needed, but I was wrong. Now, I’m down to one man. If he can’t help me, no one can. I’ve made the call, and next month, AJ Styles tries to beat The Prophecy. Next month, it’s gonna be Michael Modest and Donovan Morgan, against me, and the guy I first teamed with in the lime light. It’s gonna be The Prophecy, against AJ Styles, and Air Paris! Air Raid flies again, and this time, Prophecy, I’m coming out on top!”

RoH All Star Extravaganza

Saturday November 11. 2006

(Large Show)

RoH World Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Jushin “Thunder” Lyger

At Glory by Honor, Jushin Lyger pinned Bryan Danielson in an epic tag-team match. RoH match makers decided that because of the victory, one of Danielson’s only losses of the year, Jushin Lyger should be awarded a title shot. And he has. It will be Jushin Lyger challenging American Dragon for the RoH World Championship at All Star Extravaganza!

Christopher Daniels vs. Samoa Joe

The ongoing rivalry continues! At Glory by Honor, these two locked up in the main event, and they will do so once again at All Star Extravaganza! Will these two finally put this bitter feud to rest?

AJ Styles & Air Paris vs. Donovan Morgan & Michael Modest

AJ Styles is desperate to beat The Prophecy. He teamed with Jerry Lynn after their team broke up four years ago, but they failed. He brought in Amazing Red after their team broke up three years ago, but they also failed. Now, AJ Styles brings in the biggest blast from his past: his tag-team partner in WCW, Air Paris! Can Air Raid finally be the team to beat The Prophecy?

Havana Pitbulls vs. Steve Corino & Adam Pearce

Adam Pearce and Steve Corino may have injured Homicide, but they forgot that he has friends! The Havana Pittbulls of Rocky Romero and Ricky Reyes have been called forth by Julius Smokes, and they will attempt to literally tear the heads off of Pearce and Corino to gain revenge for Homicide!

RoH World Tag-Team Champions Aries & Strong vs. Briscoe Brothers

The Briscoes got the non-title victory at Glory by Honor, and they now get the title shot they’ve been wanting for two months! It’s Strong and Aries and the Briscoes for the RoH World Tag-Team Championship!

KENTA vs. Alex Shelley

This has been potential match of the year candidate, ever since they locked up two months ago in a tag-team match. One of the brightest stars of Japan faces off against one of the brightest stars America has to offer. Expect this to be classic!

Colt Cabana vs. Nigel McGuinness vs. Jimmy Rave vs. Jack Evans

Nigel McGuinness is still the Pure Wrestling Champion after making Colt Cabana tap out. However, the other men in this match have a lot to prove, and with a win, they could end up being next in line for a Pure Wrestling Championship match!

Also scheduled to appear: Rhino, Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Rhando, Matt Sydal & more!

Unfortunately, due to TNA becoming Global, TNA has signed Chris Sabin to a written contract. I assume Alex Shelley will be next...pun intended.

Havana Pitbulls vs. Strong & Aries:

I'm pulling for Strong...oh yeah, and Aries...I like the Pitbulls, but good God, that Roderick Strong is just too damn loveable!

Danielson vs. Williams:

Danielson. It's too soon to drop the belt.

KENTA vs. Richards:

KENTA. Mainly because this is a situation like when Richards faced AJ at Death Before Dishonor 4. It's a good match on paper, but the bigger name needs to win...for now.

Nigel vs. Styles:

Nigel. Styles just isn't a "pure" wrestler anymore, and him winning the belt would make me a sad panda.

Joe vs. Homicide:

Homicide. HEEL HEAT BABY! WOO!

I don't know why Danielson and Daniels would be working together. It seems odd because Daniels has always been hafter the World Title, and out of the blue he suddenly help the world champ? Doesn't really make much sense.

From SOLW.net

Chuckles broke his neck and will be out for a long, long time. SOLW and SOLW.net wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back in a ring as soon as possible.

NNNNOOOOOOOO! SAY IT AIN'T SO!

RoH World Champion Bryan Danielson & Christopher Daniels vs. Samoa Joe & Jushin “Thunder” Lyger

Daniels and Danielson apparently made a deal, based off their mutual hate for Samoa Joe, and Daniels assisted Danielson in beating Joe at Unscripted. Joe, then, called the pair out, and told Danielson that his partner would be someone that American Dragon has never been able to beat: New Japan’s Jushin Lyger! Lyger makes his long awaited return to once again team with Samoa Joe in an effort to once again humble Bryan Danielson.

RoH World Tag-Team Champions Austin Aries & Roderick Strong vs. Briscoe Brothers (Jay & Mark) – Non-Title

The Briscoes demanded a title shot, but Aries and Strong denied thema title match, as the Briscoes have been unable to beat Aries or Strong in the last few attempts. Is the Briscoes win, they could be awarded a title shot, but if they lose, it may very well be a long time before they ever get another shot at the RoH World Tag-Team Championship!

RoH Pure Wrestling Champion Nigel McGuinness vs. Colt Cabana

At Unscripted, Colt Cabana pinned Nigel McGuinness after McGuinness had mocked Cabana for suffering a loss. After getting the win, Colt Cabana was awarded this title shot! Can Cabana get the win over his long time rival and dethrone the longest reining Pure Champion?

After Homicide was once again screwed out of a victory, he went to RoH match makers and demanded a match with Adam Pearce, and he was given it!

AJ Styles & Amazing Red vs. Donovan Morgan & Michael Modest

At Unscripted, AJ Styles teamed with a man he hadn’t teamed with in a long time: Jerry Lynn. The first TNA Tag-Team Champions were unsuccessful against The Prophecy. Now, AJ Styles has dusted off another former tag-team partner, a man he won the RoH Tag-Team Championship with: The Amazing Red! Now, the former champions take on Donovan Morgan and Michael Modest. Can AJ Styles gain some revenge and get the win over The Prophecy? Or will another former partner prove to be a failure?

KENTA vs. Jerry Lynn vs. Rhino vs. Jimmy Jacobs

Danielson and Daniels, who have gotten back to their feet, obviously accept Joe’s challenge.

Joe: “Alright then, we’ll have ourselves a little tag-team match! You two, against me and a man that you, Bryan Danielson, have NEVER been able to beat in your entire RoH career!”

Danielson tilts his head and cocks his eye brow as Christopher Daniels asks him who it is.

Joe: “Oh, you look confused, Dragon, so let me spell it out for you. His first name starts with a J, and his “surname” starts with an L.”

Danielson and Daniels to turn each other and wonder if he’s talking about Jerry Lynn.

Joe: “No, you idiot, not Jerry Lynn! My partner is going to be none other than JUSHIN “THUNDER” LYGER!

Post Show Promo

AJ Styles is backstage, looking aggravated and annoyed about his loss earlier tonight.

Styles: “Alright Prophecy, you got one up on me again. That’s just fine and dandy, cause what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. So, at Glory by Honor next month, it’s gonna be Donovan Morgan and Michael Modest against me and another guy I used to team with. First it was Jerry Lynn, and I thank him for teaming with me again, but he just didn’t get the job done. So I’ve made the call, and it’s gonna be you two against me, and my former RoH Tag-Team Championship partner, The Amazing Red! See you chumps next month!”

Post show notes:

-Amazing Red will be brought in for one night only and, barring a miracle performance, won't be signed to a contract. His overness, at the time of the signing, was 67.

-Jushin Liger is, of course, signed to an open contract. His overness at the time of the signing is 80. If there are no scheduling conflicts, Liger may be booked for two shows instead of just one.

-Because of prior commitments, Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley will not be booked for Glory by Honor.

-At the beginning of October, TNA went Global. RoH went into the month at 28% PI at a National level.

Trust me, I'd like to make the matches more in depth, but if I did that, they'd be TOO long. I moreso just toyed with "spot reviews" from each one. I'm already taking a different approach to the next show, as I wasn't really digging the way the first was written, either.

And I'm not really using KENTA the way RoH has to use him, which is every few months. He's not going anywhere until I become Global, so I can use him every show. Might as well have him work with some others.

Shelley and Rave showed dissention towards the end of April due to their loss to Aries & Strong, and with Sal joining The Embassy, it's obvious they've given up on him.

I, too, hated my own booking with so many heels cheating to win, but I needed to just get them over, collective, atleast once, as major, "fuck you, I hate you" heels. I'm not going to be doing that so much in the next shows, trust me.

Thanks for the clarification on Lynn's music, I had forgotten the name of the song.

I loved The Prophecy, so I couldn't live with myself if I didn't reform it. It was such an awesome group...even if they DID have Dan Maff....

Don't really pay attention to my card placement, as I'm normally VERY different than most. I don't like to have the first matches be opener and lowers, 4-6 being mids, 7-8 being uppers and the last matches being mains. TNA does that...and...eh, to me, I think to be sporatic, starting off your show with a high profile match, giving the fans "cool downs" in between and such makes for a better show.

lol, well, there's always the rematch!

Good, one key to writing a good diary is to make up for things you may not be so good at, like in this case, a backstory. So if you make up for it in your shows, then everything should be fine.

Eh, I can't really defend the beginning. I had no other beginning to go on that hadn't been used yet. I was really just going for something off the wall and different. And yeah...I should have thought I through a little better. But hey, what's done is done. I'm really just focussing on the shows now, instead on the...well...lackluster beginning.

Dark Match

Pelle Primeau vs. Shane Hagadorn

Both men start with counter holds, followed by a series of arm drags. The fans in attendance show their support for the young students as they continue to try to hone their skills. Shortly into the match, though, a short, stalky, long haired behemoth runs into the ring. This man is Rhando, the virtual unknown from Florida. Rhando quickly nails little Pelle Preimeau with his signature finishing move, the F*** F*** Gore. Rhando then nails Shane Hagadorn with a vicious lariat. The referee throws the match out, calling for a no contest due to the interference. Rhando isn’t done, however. Rhando picks up Pelle Primeau and nails him with a unique cradle backbreaker. Shane Hagadorn staggers to his feet, Rhando quickly takes him down. Rhando stands over Shane Hagadorn, hammerlocks Hagadorn’s left arm, grabs Hagadorn’s arm and head, and wrenches on all the appendages at the same time in a very obscure submission hold. After a full thirty seconds, the vicious Rhando releases the hold and rolls out of the ring as the crowd in attendance boos the hell out of the crazy new comer. Rhando tells them all to “F*** themselves” as he walks back through the curtain.

Four Corner Survival

As the crowd calms after the first match, Jim Cornette, enters the arena to a very mixed reaction, due to his actions at Death Before Dishonor. If you do not known, Cornette offered Homicide three wishes if Homicide would be on Team RoH for Cage of Death. Homicide joined RoH during the match and saved RoH by getting the pinfall victory for Team RoH. After the match, Homicide asked for his three wishes. Steve Corino in an RoH ring. Granted. A World Title shot. Granted. Low Ki back in RoH. Denied. After denying his request, Homicide got hostile, and Cornette, JJ Dillon, and Adam Pearce beat down the Notorious 187 in a shocking turn of events. Jim Cornette enters the ring with a microphone.

Cornette: “Now, I’m sure you all were excited, and yet confused by the match I announced for this evening. I have decided that I was wrong! I did a terrible thing at Death Before Dishonor! I lied to Homicide after he single handedly saved Ring of Honor from CZW! I denied his third and final wish, and that was wrong of me. So, Homicide, please, come to this ring right now so I can apologize to you!

Homicide’s music hits, and the fans beat on the steel guard rails as he and Julius Smokes enter the arena. Smokes is playing it up, snarling and making weird noises, but Homicide looks very reluctant. Homicide walks down to ringside and rolls into the ring to lock eyes with the RoH commissioner.

Cornette: “Homicide, I want to personally apologize for lying to you, and kicking your ass at Death Before Dishonor.”

Homicide looks down and smirks, not appreciating Cornette’s words.

Cornette: “But Homicide. I want to apologize for something else. Lying to you again. I love how gullible you are, always turning your back!”

And with that, Adam Pearce and Steve Corino roll into the ring and attack Homicide. They then put to the boots to him as the fans begin chanting for Low Ki, who obviously was only “booked” to lure Homicide into a false sense of security. Suddenly, Colt Cabana runs down to the ring and runs off Pearce and Corino, much to the delight of the fans.

Cornette: “Just hold on one second, Colt Cabana! What do you think you’re doing?!”

Cabana stands near the ropes and yells something about not standing idly by as this crap happens.

Cornette: “Oh, so you’re gonna try and be some savior and watch Homicide’s back even after he tried to kill you? That’s just fine! Get in my business, Cabana, and you’re gonna pay! Let’s have ourselves a tag match, right here, right now!”

Danielson once again goes for the roaring elbow, but Joe ducks it, and nails a stiff lariat. Joe hauls Danielson to his feet and nails a power bomb.

Danielson then puts him foot on the rope and pushes back. Joe loses his footing and falls backwards with Danielson going back, too. Joe, though, loses his grip on Danielson. Danielson rolls up Joe’s legs and bridges back and grabs the bottom rope. The referee counts to three as Joe fights the added leverage, but can’t in time, and is pinned. Danielson quickly rolls out of the ring, grabs his belt, and runs up the aisle way, laughing and taunting Joe for being too stupid to out think the self-proclaimed best wrestler in the world.

RoH Testing The Limit

Saturday, August 12, 2006

(Large show)

RoH World Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Samoa Joe.

In Cage of Death, Bryan Danielson took a cheap shot by clipping Joe’s knee. Joe had to be carried out of the match. Joe is a big Samoan, so he’s obviously offended. Four words for Mr. Danielson: Joe’s Gonna Kill You!

RoH World Tag-Team Champions Aries & Strong vs. Briscoe Brothers

On 7/29, Aries and Strong retained their titles after a second ultimate endurance match by pinning the Briscoes in the finals. The Briscoes, being number one contenders for lasting until the finals, have been awarded a straight rematch. Can they become three time RoH World Tag-Team Champions?

RoH Pure Wrestling Champion Nigel McGuinnes vs. Jerry Lynn

In March 2004, Nigel McGuinness wrestled Jerry Lynn in a great pure wrestling match which Lynn barely won. Now, two years later, is the rematch, but with the Pure Wrestling Championship on the line!

Four Corner Survival: Homicide vs. Low Ki vs. Steve Corino vs. Colt Cabana

Rivalries are renewed in this one as Homicide is once again in a ring with both Steve Corino and Colt Cabana! This could turn out to be the best four corner survival in RoH history!

AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels vs. Donovan Morgan & Michael Modest

The TNA Tag-Team Champions take on Donovan Morgan, one half of the first RoH World Tag-Team Champions, and Michael Modest. Ironically, Christopher Daniels was Morgan’s partner when they were crowned first RoH World Tag-Team Champions.

KENTA & Chris Sabin vs. Rhino & Alex Shelley

KENTA has decided to take Chris Sabin under his wing as they face two of the best Scott D’Amore has ever produced!

Others scheduled to appear: Chris Hero, Rhando, Jimmy Rave & Prince Nana of The Embassy, Delirious, Jack Evans, & more!

Within the next twenty four hours, Gabe Sapolsky had made many phone calls and sent out many contracts. With his newfound money, Gabe had signed practically everyone on his current roster to written, exclusive contracts.

He also used the money to improve the RoH training camp’s facilities, and to open a development camp as well. He raised production levels, advertisement, and also merchandising.

There were, however, some wrestlers who turned down written contracts. Those included: AJ Styles, Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, and Christopher Daniels. They pledged their allegiance to TNA and turned down the offers. They did opt to stay with Ring of Honor, though.

Some, however, accepted the contracts. They were: Homicide, Roderick Strong, Austin Aries, and Samoa Joe.

Three TNA stars, though, were stolen by Ring of Honor and signed to written contracts. Rhino, Low Ki and Jerry Lynn.

Some independent stars were also signed to written contracts. Steve Corino, Donovan Morgan, Michael Modest, and a man Gabe was scouting while in Florida, a virtual unknown, Rhando.

Now, with fifty five workers on the roster and more to come, Gabe set his sights on rising in the ranks, and completing the objective: Destroy Total Nonstop Action.

But, when the time comes, will Gabe graciously bow out to the McMahon family, or go to war with the biggest tyrant in sports entertainment history? Only time will tell...

Information, such as roster soon to follow.

I tried out the diary thing a few years ago, but I was forced to stop because of school, and other obligations. I have some free time, and I like to chronicle EWR (RoH mainly) anyway, so hey, why not?

Backstory. Part 1.

12:30 am. Tuesday, August 1, 2006.

It is early in the morning as Gabe Sapolsky is sitting in the office of his home, kicking back in a leather chair, watching a television in the corner of the room. He is watching tapes from Ring of Honor’s past show from July 29. He watches as Ring of Honor World Champion Bryan Danielson applies and illegal hold to Ring of Honor Pure Wrestling Champion Nigel McGuinness. Bryan Danielson lets go, and tells the referee that he has until five. Gabe chuckles and shakes his head.

The telephone on his desk rings. Gabe tilts his head, staring at the phone. He leans forward and answers.

Gabe: "Hello?"

Vince McMahon: "Hello Gabe, it’s Vince. McMahon."

Gabe: "Mr. McMahon! What do I owe the pleasure?"

Vince: "TNA. That's what!"

Gabe: "Um, what about them?"

Vince: "I’m tired of them getting in my way and taking cheap shots at my company on their second rate television show!"

Gabe: "But sir, why are you calling me?"

Vince: "Well, Sapolsky, I've always liked you and your promotion. I've lent you Dreamer, Richards, Foley, and Punk, just to help you out. Well, now, I want my back scratched."

Gabe: "I’m listening."

Vince: "I’m going to give you some leverage. And with this leverage, I want you to kill TNA."

Gabe: "What kind of leverage are we talking about?"

Vince: "Ninety million dollars."

Gabe: "Holy s***."

Vince: "Don’t make me regret this, Sapolsky, or it's your a**!"

And with that, Vince hangs up the phone, leaving Gabe sitting there, phone in hand, in stunned silence.

This is just my first post. I'll do Part 2 in a few minutes once I finish it. Any suggestions and such is welcome and appreciated.
