Behind the GMz Screen (Interlude)
MSD’s ETERNAL TRUTHS of WRESTLING #9:
Wrestling is a HUSTLE [/color] Cash rules everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. get the money, dolla dolla bill y'all!!! Once you decide to make a living peddling your fad of choice, monetary compensation becomes your soul driven factor. If you're fortunate enough, the fad you've chosen to fund will continue to blossom and not sink like a pet rock. In the world of sports & entertainment, is no fad more potentially lucrative than that of the pro wrestling spectacle. Part showman, part stuntman, part athlete, part rock star = all bad ass. Pro wrestlers know their niche well. [/color] HUSTLE: to show remarkable dedication and drive. Determination to persevere regardless of obstacles faced. HUSTLE: to con, fool, confuse. A hustler takes advantage of whatever distraction they can manufacture to benefit the most of any situation, personally and financially. BCCW is no fad. It continues to prove that standard again and again, in the face of overnight federations popping up daily like dandelions. The dedication and drive to stay the course, however long and bumpy it may be. But peer just beyond the outer fringes of the spectacle that provides any product's glossy sheen, and you'll find the machine perpetuating the fad. The money men, the sponsors, the promoters, the loaners and financiers, the bankers. The muthaphuckkin Hustlers. Wrestling is a hustle because the bottom line is a dollar sign. There's money to be made, and you're either swimming in the pool or swimming with the sharks.
For every musician who says they ain't in it for the art. For every small time producer who would sell their grandmother for a bigger piece of the pie. For every Adelphia cable and Enron executive. For the time just beyond the fad - neatly packaged for consumption - when fiery passion meets the cold, harsh world of crass commercialism. What can you sell that everybody needs? Drugs? Alcohol? Cigarettes? Condoms? Or something that encompasses all of that, and is older than all to boot - primeval conflict. Man versus man. Gladiator roots to graves rotting with concussed brains. Organized school yard fights with a spectator entry fee. Everybody has a hustle, and it all centers on the blood-stained BCCW mat - home to the greatest legends in the wrestling multiverse. What's YOUR angle? [/color] (and please buy the BCCW t-shirt with that slogan in BCCW Shop Zone) [/center]

"Deeper than Wrestling" Hype-Show [/size][/color]
Sip from the cup of knowledge, my friend. We can all get drunk together... BCCW presents: "DEEPER than WRESTLING" Tonight, Mister Mondt of the Gold Dust Trio Inc (still smarting from their loss at "DOUBLE DOWN") has promised to rearrange the face of BCCW once and for all, to be more suitable of their overall image. Triple H will help play a role in the reshaping of the BCCW landscape, and Desmond Wolfe has vowed to unify the last two singles titles in Wrestling history for the Inc by beating John Cena. Meanwhile the Diamond Dynasty continues their pursuit of young Ted Dibiase Jr. First they hustled him out of his Million $$$ Championship by hiring Maryse to betray him. Now they are promising to ruin him for good and drive him from BCCW forever. What kind of dastardly scheme has Buddy Rogers and his cronies cooked up?
A strange new "force" has arrived in BCCW claiming to be behind the resurrection of the Straight Edge Society alongside Pogo the Clown & Serena (rightful owners of the BCCW SES chapter after their match at "AFTERMATH"). Who is this mysterious benefactor? Or sick mastermind? And why does Pogo the Clown & Serena seem to worship him with so much reverence? Whoever it is has promised to reveal themselves shortly, and set the wheels in motion for a new plan for domination.
Meanwhile, the streets are abuzz (literally - new batches of white and brown just hit the Brockton streets yesterday) with news of the Cannibal Cartel. Word on the streets is they have declared war on New Jack and plan on putting him to rest once and for all. "Vicious" Vic Grimes has even promised to put his King of the Death Match championship on the line one more time in a Do or Die match to end their feud once and for all. Pro wrestling's darkest dungeon isn't big enough for these two killers. Only one man can remain in the realm of sports entertainment. Speaking of the Cannibal Cartel, they have sworn revenge upon the Trust Busters and have demanded to face them in a rematch for the titles. But not just any match, it will be a Cannibal Cartel specialty 4 Corners of Pain Death match. Will Thesz & Swagger accept the challenge?
Proving that "hustle" in sports vernacular knows no boundaries, World Women's Wrestling champion Alexxis Nevaeh will defend her prestigious title against #1 contender and professional mentor and role-model, Trish Stratus. The two woman commandeered an impressive tag team victory at "DOUBLE DOWN", before promising to rekindle the competitive flame BCCW is known for in a battle for the WWW title. Also putting the "hustle" in "Hustle, Loyalty & Respect" is reigning Unified champion John Cena. The ongoing hustle to unify all the global titles in the wrestling multiverse and guide the course of pro wrestling heading into the future. After overcoming mountains of adversity laid in his path by Mister Mondt and the Gold Dust Trio Inc, John Cena has finally reached the crescendo of his BCCW mission. A title unification bout with the only other singles champion that matters in pro wrestling - the Undisputed Champion DESMOND WOLFE.
versus
All that, plus Public Enemy is in the house. BLK MOBB have promised to wreak havoc. The muthaphucckin Fabulous Freebirds got some shit to say. King of the Death Match championship, Diamond Dynasty, shoot fights and championship bouts. "DEEPER than WRESTLING" will showcase it all. Let's take it to the bend right now and run the publicity trail leading to this epic PPV follow-up: __________________________________________________________ "LOVE IS PRICELESS"[/size][/color] In Los Angeles, Ted Dibiase Jr turned up at a Paris Hilton-sponsored function with none other than Lizzy Borden in tow. It has been said that Lizzy Borden reached out to the disgraced millionaire in an effort to revamp her own image. Ted Dibiase Jr was recently humiliated by his former peers in the Diamond Dynasty when his girlfriend Maryse revealed herself to be on the Dynasty payroll, and costing him the Million $$$ Championship. A belt he lifted from his own father's private collection. TED DIBIASE JR: One time in fourth grade we had show and tell. I stole my dad's briefcase and I took it to show and tell. Everybody else is walking in with their backpacks and sack lunches pulling out these dolls and stuff. I've got this briefcase and everybody was like what is that. I was just saying it was a briefcase. When it came my turn, I put the briefcase up on the table, punched in the code, opened the briefcase, and there it is in all of its glory, the Million Dollar Belt. So I stole the Million Dollar Belt and took it to show and tell. So yeah, I was the most popular kid in class for a time after that.[/color] Lizzy Borden spoke publicly in favor of Ted Dibiase, and voiced her opinion on how he had been wronged (and had all kinds of harsh, derogatory things to say about Maryse). Then there were reports and photos that surfaced of Lizzy Borden and Ted Dibiase Jr at the same hotels and airports together. Later, Lizzy was a call-in radio guest on a popular West Coast radio show where it was revealed there had been a recent tryst between Lizzy and the despondent Ted Dibiase Jr. Lizzy threw her full support behind Dibiase and promised to help him reclaim his family's birthright. DJ Max Stylez: What was Teddy surprised to find out about you? LIZZY BORDEN: While I appear all sweet and innocent, and, ok bitchy on camera, there is a side to me that rarely comes out. But when it does, watch out. I'm a completely different person! [/color] DJ Max Stylez: What is you and Teddy's ideal night out on the town? LIZZY BORDEN: Driving around in a convertible, a nice expansive steak and lobster dinner, full body massage and a dip in the spa! DJ Max Stylez: What do you guys do when you stay in? LIZZY BORDEN: Watch a movie and take a hot bubble bath! DJ Max Stylez: What do you see in Ted Dibiase Jr? Besides the money!!! LIZZY BORDEN: I can't be with someone unless they are funny. Guys with no sense of humor are way too boring. It also helps very much to be sweet and romantic. He surprises me from time to time. And he's smart. I like guys who can be creative and just know how to do things right. DJ Max Stylez: What do you think Teddy sees in you? LIZZY BORDEN: I was shy and innocent. I could have never believed I would be out in front of thousands of people on a wrestling show getting things thrown at me, especially during the months I was running the company behind the camera. I would have never thought I would do something like that, especially on TV.
Vowing to avenge his disgraceful loss to his associates, Dibiase aided John Cena in his quest to defeat the Diamond Dynasty. The mutual alliance has benefited the Fortunate Son as well, as he has earned the ire of his former Diamond Dynasty brethren - who have awarded him another rematch. But it comes with an expensive clause. In exchange for the rights back to the Million $$$ Championship, Ted Dibiase Jr has agreed to lay his entire Trust Fund on the line for the rematch. Not only that, Bobby "the Brain" Heenan has secured the rights to a termination clause in Dibiase's contract. If "The Fortunate Son" loses, not only will he forever relinquish the Million $$$ Championship and lose his entire Trust Fund... he will be terminated from BCCW forever. So strong is his desire and hustle to right the wrongs he himself set in motion, Ted Dibiase will risk it all at "DEEPER than WRESTLING". ___________________________________________________________ "THE STR8T-EDGE SAVIOR"[/color][/size] POGO the CLOWN (with Serena alongside him) have kept the SES banner alive in BCCW, retaining the rights to the chapter from Luke Gallows at "AFTERMATH". Recently at "Double Down", Pogo's mysterious leader and "higher power" made his presence felt. His arrival swung momentum back to Pogo, who dispatched of Luke Gallows and Necro Butcher in a handicap match. Now he has promised that the true "savior" of SES will reveals himself at "DEEPER than WRESTLING" with a message that will change pro wrestling forever. Meanwhile, Luke Gallows has declined comment only to reply that his allegiance to SES has not waned, in fact it has only been strengthened by conferring with a new "spiritual advisor" that has instilled in Gallows a greater faith in his cause. Whoever these spiritual advisors and "higher powers" may be, they've driven the former SES stablemates into a blood thirsty frenzy. Who will survive "DEEPER than WRESTLING" to see the grand reveal? __________________________________________________________ "WRESTLING versus JUDO"[/size][/color] versus Ed "Strangler" Lewis versus Masahiko Kimura Style versus Style. Which is the best? It's that fundamental question that has intrigued mankind for generations. Bruce Lee or Muhammed Ali? Kickboxing versus Jiu-Jitsu? In recent years we have even see pro boxers clash with wrestlers (James Toney's fateful attempt to combat Randy Couture). But it's not enough. And it certainly wasn't even the first real "style versus style" clash we've had in combat sports (even before the Ali/Inoki misstep). "The Solid Man" William Muldoon gets the credit of engaging in one of the first mixed matches on record, being that of a combination wrestling and boxing bout between “The Solid Man” and John L. Sullivan. The bout was staged in a Gloucester, Massachusetts ball park in 1887, before a crowd of many thousands. Sullivan started out with an edge, punching Muldoon to the ground, but “The Greatest Roman” scrambled to his feet, wristlocked Jawn, then shifting to the hold now known as a body slam, hurled the Boston Strong Boy to the earth, where he lay stunned for several seconds, unable to toe the scratch. The spectators then prevented the bout continuing, best two out of three, and Muldoon was acclaimed the victor, to Sullivan’s rage and chagrin. Today, the very essence and style of fighting has evolved to incorporate ALL aspects. So called "Ultimate Fighting". The pro exhibition and traveling sideshow that IS "professional wrestling sports entertainment" must also evolve to capture that fighting spirit. But even in the all-business/all pleasure world of professional athletes, sometimes things go astray. Differences can't be settled in a board room, or on a booking sheet. Sometimes hair gets pulled in the lockeroom, or fists are thrown in the parking lot. What do you do when you reach this line? The Gold Dust Trio Inc remedy is simple... In the basement of his California home, Billy Sandow (one of the original Gold Dust Trio founders) built a gymnasium which he called “The Bullpen.” In the enclosure, from early morning until late in the afternoon, his behemoths tugged and hauled, working out “finishes,” testing each other’s hearts and ability, and giving the “Boss” a general line on the workers he had under contract. When two men faced each other in the ring before an audience, each knew pretty well the other’s ability, and it must be said to Sandow’s credit that in those early days the best man usually won. Billy firmly believed that only a top notcher should be on top. Sandow’s belief that only a wrestler of ability should be champion kept Lewis on top of wrestling’s Mount Olympus for many years. Though outlaws like Marian Plestina, Jack Sherry, John Pesek, and other tough wrestlers disputed the personable “Strangler’s” right to the heavyweight wrestling crown, Sandow rested easy of night, secure in the knowledge either Lewis or Mondt could ably cope with the rebels when forced to do so. Hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into the Sandow, Lewis and Mondt coffers. They had struck pay dirt and were mining their lodes for all they were worth. In 2011, Gold Dust Trio Inc has inherited it's fair share of problems in conquering the realm of Broken City Championship Wrestling. One of the main thorns in their side, is the greatest Judoka of all time MASAHIKO KIMURA. In anticipation of this new wave in pro wrestling's future, Masahiko Kimura founded "The Shooters Club" - a private, invitation-only fight camp designed to incorporate all aspects of "ultimate fighting". Such luminaries as Lou Thesz, Kurt Angle, Jack Swagger and Brock Lesnar have all trained within it's hallowed walls. Kimura's honor and fighting spirit is in direct opposition to the Gold DUst Trio Incs calloused, money-grubbing methods. So naturally, conflict has arisen. In one-on-one competitions, Masahiko Kimura has turned back his gruesome challengers (overcoming Abdullah the Butcher at "KNOW the LEDGE"), but the forces of evil cannot be simply overcome. At the last BCCW ppv "Double Down", Kimura and new pupil Evan Bourne were demolished by the combined forces of Abdullah the Butcher & Bruiser Brody. Now, Gold Dust Trio Inc holds all the leverage. And Monster Squad commandeer The Grand Wizard has issued the company ultimatum. Shoot Fight. Said Gold Dust Trio Inc's chosen warrior: ED "STRANGLER" LEWIS: I’m mat champion of the world. I stand ready to meet any man alive for my title. I have never asked a man to lose to me and I never will. I also lay before you gentlemen a cash bond of twenty-five thousand dollars and I am willing to pay it to Kimura if he can beat me here before you gentlemen in this room or in any gymnasium you care to name.[/color] The place will be the Broken City Slaughtahouse. The time will be the next BCCW ppv "DEEPER than WRESTLING". Ed "Strangler" Lewis will take on Masahiko Kimura in a shoot fight. Think about that for a second. But just to sweeten the pot further, and prove that #9: Wrestling is a HUSTLE - The Gold Dust Trio Inc has gone out and secured the rights to a special referee. A man they promise, on their bottom dollar, will call the match fair and square. Or else he'll find out where his bread truly is buttered. The man Mister Mondt has personally selected to referee this dangerous, and unrestrained contest will be... Shooters Club member and Kimura's star pupil: EVAN BOURNE!!! Bourne was clearly conflicted over the assignment. On one hand, the teachings and lessons of Kimura paved the way for Bourne to become the complete warrior he is (and overcome his significant size deferential). Yet, the money fame and fortune lay with the Keepers of the Gate, the Gold Dust Trio Inc. Will Bourne honor and respect his mentor, and cross over for the glory that is now so near his grasp? Evan Bourne had this to say in a recent interview: EVAN BOURNE: There was a huge learning curve understanding the scale of the company. It’s so massive and such a well-oiled machine. From a managerial standpoint, it’s run with an efficiency. I’ve been around a lot of wrestling, and it used to be not as corporate as it is now, but BCCW is just jaw-dropping. I went to business school, and for me finding out how they operate from the business standpoint has almost been as intriguing as all of the wrestling skills I’ve acquired... [/color] MISTER MONDT [/color] (dismissing reporters who clamored to understand why he is forcing Evan Bourne to officiate the match): Well you fellows wouldn't’t know a shooting match when you saw one. You never were in any. BUY THE PPV!!!! __________________________________________________________ CREDITS: TED DIBIASE JR: Interview By Eric Cohen, About.com December 2009 LIZZY BORDEN: Redhotdivas interview, October 2000 GOLD DUST TRIO INC background: "Fall Guys: Barnums of Bounce" (1937) MISTER MONDT: "Fall Guys: Barnums of Bounce (1937) EVAN BOURNE: Youngstown Vindicator, 2010 [/i][/center]
