FMW OOC Thread

Yeah, that'll happen.

Shitty 200 word promo coming. Just not motivated right now plus this snow storm kicked my ass.

Aplogies.

Don't sweat it. At least you are putting up something. It's not easy to do even that once your partner has no showed.

I owe an apology to Abel, Drew and Ro.

No bad luck, no big excuse, I was sick and literally thought I had till today. My promo will be going up tomorrow anyway in the FMW.com spot since it was more for fun anyway, but still sorry I didn't post it in time, I thought I had till today for some reason.

Along the same lines as Alex, except I have a small excuse. I have no computer, as its in the trunk of my car.... under a foot and a half of snow, an hour away at work.

While I could have posted the whole thing from my phone (like this message) that would've been very difficult, and riddled with typos.

Sorry everyone, sorry Jeff.

......way to make me feel bad for being sick and forgetful Butters lol.

Yeah, Sleg, that's right, in YOUR face. Not my face, YOUR face.

Blue and orange, blue and orange, blue and orange...

Oh, jeez. Don't worry about it; I'd be more concerned about the car and comp than a promo.

I demand that Slegna remove that Chicago sig from his posts.

And, I demand that it be replaced with a Green Bay one.

As they will be going to the super bowl.

I lost a sig bet with Ro. He would've been rocking the Hawks logo had we won on Sunday. But it will only be for a week, since Chicago's getting killed this weekend.

I looooooove your enthusiasm.

Although I do believe it will be a tough game, the Packers will most definitely win.

I'm not a football fan, but I'm totally cheering for Chicago this weekend, because Sleg failing/being wrong is delicious.

So, Two things to tell you.

One, Butters' Best Of... Tournament Series is back, go vote!

Two, WWE Prediction Contest is here. You want to participate, even if you don't like WWE, because you can earn FMPs, and possibly embarrass people.

That is all.

Man, this place is dead between shows....

It's been like that for a while now, apparently.

That's why we have games.

SOS 4 WFL.

Well, lets un-make it that way.

What are you doing at the moment? I'm drinking coffee.

I just finished a Stats class. Learning stuff that we were already taught in the lab on Friday.

Ugh.

Im drinking beer.

It's XXXX, which is Australian for SHIT, but it was cheap, so I bought it. Stingy me trying to save money

Anyway, I just finished writing something, not for the shows/not a promo for FMW/LPW. But I would like feedback on it. If anyone has the time/care to do me a favor, I'd appreciate it.

Jeff- Bit pointless learning stuff you already know lol.

Tromboner dude - Yeah I'll give you some feedback, I'm bored as shit.

XXXX? At least it's beer!

FMW Prediction contest for Rumble is up!

Click the link in mah sig!

Hey all,

I'd like to apologize for my unexpected absence over the last week, a death in the family took me away from home and most viable internet sources. I'd also ask that I be excused from staff duties for the next three to four shows, I'll be spending most of the time I am not working with my adopted grandmother to help her out over the next few months.

I can still promo, but my trash talking and availability is going to be a lot more limited.

Sorry once again, especially to you TBM and the Amm staff for leaving the way I did. I should have gave you notice but I wasn't thinking and for that I am truly sorry.

Just a heads up to the guys still in "The Amazing Race" the next round will (finally) be going up tomorrow.

OK, guys I did something naughty.

I competed in a match in a rival federation representing Full Metal Wrestling. APW ran a match for people from feds to compete in. A 40 Man match, with a couple of twists at the end. So i did this secretly, and I thought I'd put forth a fairly good representation.

Anyway, here's the promo I wrote for it


Born Christian Gregory Smitten, believed to be on March 14, 1979, a young man began his journey through life. Smitten experienced an unsettled childhood, having been abandoned at birth by the side of a highway in the South of the USA. The exact location of where he was picked up is unknown, but he was fortunate, having been found by a travelling bike gang. The gang, known as the “Bikies of Justice”, were a group of outlaws, who were trying to do good. However, their past would frequently come back to haunt them.

Through the turbulence of this group, Smitten somehow found love, education and growth. Against all odds, it seemed like this rogue batch of bikers would raise him trouble free. However, not long after his 16th birthday, Smitten, and the bikers, were arrested, over the believed mass murder of a rival gang. Being young, Smitten, while found guilty of being a part of this homicide, was sent to prison. Despite claiming his innocence, still to this day, Smitten spent the next 5 years in the prison system. It was in here, that Smitten was able to achieve his high school certificate, with astoundingly high results.

Upon being released from prison on good behaviour, Smitten settled in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he immediately set back into the biker way of life. The lone Biker of Justice, Smitten decided not to target those who’d imprisoned him, but rather, try and revive and repair the tattered image of his beloved family. However, his efforts became fruitless. He began wrestling, as a way to release the emotional energy that was being built up, while studying law at a local community college.

Wrestling and law enveloped the life of Smitten for the next several years. He would be offered contracts to perform in local wrestling circles for a number of years, which provided his income, as he continued to study, with the intention of becoming a fully recognised and accredited lawyer. Smitten achieved this goal in April 2004, but continued to work with wrestling for the coming years, using his legal skills as a part time job, in order to earn more spending money.

In September 2006, Christian G. Smitten was invited to meet with Jason Roy and Robb Larsen, two highly esteemed and brilliant wrestling minds from the Psychotic Wrestling Alliance. The pair, who’d been scouting Smitten for many months, had seen immense potential with him, and offered him a full time job with a new company, Full Metal Wrestling. Having already secured prime time television deals, it seemed like an opportunity too good to be true, and Smitten signed up. While the fed initially got off to a shaky start, with Roy and Larsen being fired from the PWA in what would later be known as “Pyrogate”, Smitten made the most of his new opportunity.

Under the moniker “CGS”, Smitten was unsuccessful early in his career, but continued to remain in contention for many of the company’s top titles. Despite failing to win the titles, Smitten continued to grind away, impressing the management with his drive, determination and will. However, his urge to practice law was growing. When Roy, more commonly known by his stage name “Jaro”, caught wind of Smitten’s status as an attorney, he immediately offered him the position as head of FMW’s legal department, one which Smitten accepted.

While taking in the position, Smitten continued to wrestle. Now performing under his real name, Smitten found more success with his hardened, cold blooded persona. It was with these same dirty tactics that he was able to adopt a daughter, Kelsey. Kelsey, an innocent, 4 year old girl, would be treated with utter contempt over the next few years. Some believe that it was the disrespect he showed to his daughter that spiked his popularity. Regardless, he surprised the federation at the Ultimatum Pay-Per-View, capturing the first “Gold Card”, a card which grants you one “Anytime, Anywhere” FMW Championship match. At the same pay-per-view, Smitten unveiled himself as one of the men involved in the super stable, Original Sin, who’s intention was to take over FMW, and drive it into the ground. While Smitten lead where he could, ultimately it was the greed of the stable’s leader, Jaro, who wanted sole control of the company, which lead to the stable’s demise.

Shortly after the failure of Original Sin, Smitten cashed in his Gold Card, using it to capture the FMW Championship from John “Doc” Derrick. It would be at this time that Smitten would come face with a man he never expected to meet. Benjamin Bright, a veteran wrestler, came to him, wanting to be a part of his life. It took a DNA test to confirm one thing. Benjamin Bright was Smitten’s biological father. Once he learnt this, however, Bright kidnapped his grand daughter, and held Kelsey hostage. It had taken a long time to come to this point, but to get Kelsey back, Christian G. Smitten had to finally commit a murder, killing his own father.

The loss of his biological father didn’t worry Smitten, but the events with his daughter proved to be a handful for him. He started to feel love for the little girl he adopted through arrogance and bitterness, and started to realise what being a father meant. At the same time, his newly won FMW Championship, the most prestigious title in FMW, proved to not be his for long, as he would soon be defeated for the title in a triple threat match by Nick Bryson. While Smitten was the stand out performer of the match, dominating most of it, Bryson would captialise, pinning Derrick to steal the title away from Smitten. While Smitten tried to invoke a rematch clause, he would be shot down, with management telling him there were more contenders who wanted a shot, and he’d have to sit on his rematch clause for a while. This didn’t stop Smitten from winning a Number One Contender’s match for the title, but again, while being the next in line, he was pushed back by management.

Frustrated with Management, he set about rising through the chain, using underhanded tactics to become the official “Commissioner” of Full Metal Wrestling. In the process of becoming the Commissioner of Full Metal Wrestling, Smitten was instated with an amazing honor, being recognised a Judge within the United States of America. With this new feather in his cap, Smitten continued to try and juggle active competition, his legal duties, and the role of Commissioner, however, the role became too busy, and Smitten quit active competition in dramatic style.

With the pressures of active competition behind him, Smitten calmed, growing closer and closer to his daughter. Their turbulent relationship was now a loving, caring one. With Smitten making the tough decision to send her to Boarding School meant she could have a more stable childhood, one that he was denied.

While the coming months would become much more stable and regular for Smitten, his world would be turned upside down when Jaro would come to him with a cunning and evil plan. With Smitten given no choice than to draw up the necessary contracts, complying with an ancient yet still valid law, Jaro was able to legally murder his wife with the help of Dunnwood and The Virus, and take over her position as the CEO of Full Metal Wrestling. Before the deed was announced, Smitten made an unexpected return to the ring. The sequence of events which followed sent the federation into a downward spiral.

The federation had been split. Factions were beginning to rise up all over the place. Smitten began wrestling with no care whether he won or lost. With the passion quickly escaping Smitten, and the FMW roster divided, the federation seemed like it was on its death bed.

And now, we return to the present day.


An interesting email popped into my inbox today. It was far from the humdrum, un-educated emails I usually receive from management, sponsors or uninformed new talent. It was an official email, from a rival federation, Action Packed Wrestling. It was personally sent by their president, “Hurricane Jeff”. Simply title “APW: Survive and Conquer”, I was ready to place it into the trash of my email system.

That was until my finger slipped, opening the email instead. Disgruntled, I tried to move it again, but this time, my eye was caught by the contents of the email. Deciding not to delete the email, I read on. This wasn’t a generic, spam email promoting the company’s upcoming pay per view. Rather, a call out for talent, for a multi-federation match, pitting the most talented wrestlers in the world against each other. This concept entrigued me. Full Metal Wrestling had tried something of a similar vein once before, hosting, and failing to finish, a multi federation tournament.

Truth be told, FMW’s reputation took a beating after that failed tournament, and had never since recovered. However, with this being the fourth time that Action Packed Wrestling had held the event, I decided that they would not fail in completing the idea. Especcially since it was only one match. Perhaps this would be a good medium for our battered and bruised federation to start rebuilding our image.

Printing the email, I hastily rushed to the office of Jason Roy, AKA Jaro. As I opened the door, a Chinese hooker rushed out, wearing next to no clothing, clutching her pay with tears strolling down her face. I would be concerned, if this wasn’t a regular occurance. As I entered, Jason sat before me, butt naked, with a smile on his face.

Jaro: You’d think the agency would word them up on what to expect by now, but they are always oblivious...

Smitten: Jason, do you REALLY have to do that here?

Jaro: Sorry, I didn’t realise what happened in my office was such a big inconvenience to you.

Smitten: Look, we need to have a talk.

Jaro: Make it quick. May-Linh will be back soon, and I don’t want you here listening to her “lies” about how I owe her money.

Smitten: You underpaid her, didn’t you?

Jaro: I gave her the money, it’s not my fault my massive cock destroyed half her pay.

Smitten: Professionalism? Please?

Jaro: Right, were are my manners. Get out of my office, you disgusting pig.

Smitten: We’ve been invited to send multiple representatives to a rival federation, to compete...

Jaro: No. I’m not going to let those fucker get buy rates off our superstars.

Smitten: I was thinking more laterally, perhaps such an opportunity like this could...

Jaro: Smitten, I said no. This is a matter of principal.

Smitten: Coming from the man who killed his wife, isn’t it a bit hypocritical to see you talking about “principals”?

Jaro: Murderers, whether they do it legally, like I have, or illegally, like others have, all have principals. Now, I’m in the position of power here, and I’m telling you that you’re not to nominate a superstar from Full Metal Wrestling to compete. Are we clear?

Frustrated I would not be getting my way, I was ready to concede the fight. That was until I noticed the loop hole he’d provided me with. Grinning politely, I spoke softly and calmly as I told him exactly what he wanted to hear

Smitten: Crystal.

I turned around and exited. Almost like clockwork, the same hooker from before rushed past me in a hurry, bursting into Jason’s office. Pending how the man handled himself here, I knew this could turn into a major problem for me. That was an issue for me to deal with when and if it happened.

I entered my office and immediately sat down at the computer. I opened up my email browser and typed furiously. Wording what I said very carefully, I responded to the offer from APW, all the while thinking about ways this will improve our standing as a world class federation.

Dear Jeff,

Full Metal Wrestling Inc., would like to thank you for the offer to participate and compete in APW’s “Survive and Conquer”. Unfortunately, due to a class of engagements with our own Pay-Per-View and show schedule, all of our superstars are unable to compete. Instead, we shall be represented by the federation’s Commissioner, Christian G. Smitten.

Smitten is a former Full Metal Wrestling Champion, and will surely be able to take on those who are competing against him. We believe that he will represent us valiantly, and respectfully, on the way to proving that FMW deserves to be considered as having one of the finest wrestling rosters.

Smitten would like to inform you that he is excited by the prospect of competing in this match, and will look forward to attending the entry number drawing, when it is to be held.

Sincerely, on behalf of the Full Metal Wrestling roster, Board, and Management,

The Honorable Christian G. Smitten
Judge
Commissioner of Full Metal Wrestling.


Stepping through the doors to attend the entry drawing for Survive and Conquer, I felt very much out of place. This was nothing like Full Metal Wrestling at all. The names and pictures on the walls were unfamiliar, the environment was completely alien to me, and I didn’t feel like it fit in here. I reassured myself at this wasn’t going to be a disasterous visit, and that many other people will be feeling exactly the same as me.

I guess it was an advantage for me to come. After all, being here would give me a chance to scope out the environment I’d be competing in. There was no doubt that any and all competitors from APW would have a home field advantage. It’s only natural, being in a big stage in a federation such as this, you become more easily accustomed to the moment, and can compete at the highest level. However, I also knew that the sign of a truly great wrestler was his ability to do this, regardless of his opponent, location, health, or mental state.

It would be an uphill battle for me, after all, I was still blowing out my ring rust after taking a lengthy break. At the same time, perhaps this could be an advantage to me. I’ve been away from the ring long enough, I will not have any inhibitions about participating on foreign soil. Even the FMW ring is foreign to me at the moment. Yet, I have had success since returning.

I entered the room where the drawing was to take place, and instantly, I lay eyes upon a familiar face. Ultramarcus is a man who has a brutal reputation within Lords of Pain Wrestling, also known as LPW. If Ultramarcus was here, perhaps there were more. With Full Metal Wrestling being born out of the shadow of Lords of Pain Wrestling, people may have considered at Ultramarcus and I would be at each other’s throats. However, as I sat next to him, this would be the furthest thing from the truth.

Smitten: Marcus, how very nice to see you.

Ultramarcus: Oh no, please tell me you’re just representing FMW at the drawing.

Smitten: Not just at the drawing.

Jeff: Hello and welcome everyone. Thank you all for joining us here for the live drawing of the entry order for Survive and Conquer. I’m the APW President, “Hurricane” Jeff, and I’ll be officiating this drawing. And to start off with, I’ll be congratulating Kenny Kasual, a free agent, who’s drawn number one. Please, feel free to talk amongst yourselves between drawings.

Ultramarcus: So, you’re actually representing FMW here?

Smitten: Naturally. I assume you’re here to fill LPW’s role in the match?

Ultramarcus: Well, yes I am, as a matter of fact.

Jeff: The man who’s drawn number two is Mike Park, of TEW.

Ultramarcus: So why, Smitten, why you? Surely with Drew Michaels, Chris Austin, TyranT, Hannibal Frost, and Alex O’Rion all competing in FMW at the moment, how on Earth were you chosen to compete?

Smitten: Simple answer is, because I was choosing who competes.

Ultramarcus: Is that right, is it?

Smitten: Jason wouldn’t let a superstar compete. He said it would palm off too many buy rates off our stardom.

Jeff: Our third entrant into the match is Ace Andrews from RoP.

Ultramarcus: So how does this work then?

Smitten: I’m no superstar, I’m the Commissioner. Technically different.

Ultramarcus: not in my mind it isn’t.

Smitten: And that’s why you’re Ultramarcus, and I’m Christian Gregory Smitten. I’m smarter than you. I can tell you that technically, a Commissioner isn’t a superstar. A superstar is a job title, and a commissioner is a different job title. Make no mistake, I’m competing, and I’m intending on being victorious.

Jeff: Our fourth man to enter this match will be Christian G. Smitten from FMW.

Ultramarcus: Ouch, I guess winning is going to be a bit harder for you now.

Smitten: Fourth in a field of fourty, it’s a chance that could have happened. But let me ask you this Marcus, why are you here?

Ultramarcus: I was given the nod to compete by the Pyromania Head Booker. That’s all you need to know.

Smitten: So, you asked, and got told yes then?

Ultramarcus: You don’t need to know more that I’ve told you.

Jeff: Coming in at number 5 will be APW’s own XXX Fire.

Smitten: Well let me riddle you this. Have you ever competed in a multi-man match like this?

Ultramarcus: I’ve competed in multi man matches...

Smitten: No no, not on that scale. I’m talking on the scale of the 40 men you’re going to be duelling with. Have you competed in LPW, a match on the scale of a rumble, or something of the like?

Ultramarcus: Technically no.

Smitten: I have. It was a fair while ago, almost four years actually, but I’ve competed in a match of this magnitude. We have something like this in FMW, it’s called the Mount Vesuvius match.

Ultramarcus: I know of Mount Vesuvius, yes.

Jeff: Our man, entering number 6 will be Ultramarcus from LPW.

Smitten: Interesting. Anyway, so I’d assume you’re aware that Mount Vesuvius is a staggered entry match, with stipulations being added to the match as time and entrants go by.

Ultramarcus: I am, yes.

Smitten: Well, Mount Vesuvius is the next match i need to prepare for. It’s a match I’ll be competing in, and it runs remarkably similar to this. So yes, maybe my number four entry will be a determent to me, but really, I don’t care. Because at the end of the day, while I’m here, competing with noble ambitions of restoring some of FMW’s tattered image, I’m also here with selfish reasons. Preparing for Mount Vesuvius, that’s one of them. So, if I can survive the 39 other competitors who will be trying to win this match here at Survive and Conquer, perhaps I’ll have a strong chance in my own federation, where I only have 29 other people to contend with. The biggest difference, I’ll have 29 people in FMW seeing a target on my back. Here, the focus will be a lot more broad. I bet many people here have no idea who I am.

Ultramarcus: If I didn’t know you already, I wouldn’t.

Smitten: My point. And I can tell you, I wouldn’t know most of the people competing here either. It’s the nature of the competition. But I’ll take that on board, and learn as much as I can before I compete. After all, 39 people to beat is still 39 people to beat, whether they all hate you or not.

Ultramarcus: And how long did you expect me to believe that spew of liew?

Smitten: Marcus, you don’t need to believe it at all. I’m just telling you exactly my attitude, and pardon me for thinking it’s a good one.


To all those competing the APW’s Survive and Conquer.

My name is Christian G. Smitten, and I am a judge who calls Salt Lake City, Utah, home. I will be competing, representing Full Metal Wrestling, in the Survive and Conquer match at APW’s pay per view of the same name.

It would be ignorant of me to discount any of you whom are competing in this match. After all, a match of this type is designed to do one thing, and one thing only. Bring the best of the best together, and see whom is left standing at the end of proceedings.

In this field, there are World Champions, former World Champions (including myself), and men who have established rivalries and or teams. It’s without a doubt an extremely formidable line up of talent and experience. That being said, we all have different motives, and I can guarantee you, everyone’s reason to compete, while slightly similar in some regards, are vastly different.

I compete in my own federation, Full Metal Wrestling, primarily because it makes me happy. I come here tonight, not to make myself happy, but to prove points. Points to myself, points to FMW, and points to the wrestling community. I talk to you today not as your better, but as an equal, when I say, this match will prove two things in my eyes.

Full Metal Wrestling is at an elite level. This is to both FMW itself, and to the wrestling community.

The point to myself, it is simple. I am at the elite level.

I think I can say with confidence that whomever defeats me, should I not be victorious in this match, will have earnt the right to call themself the man who came, who saw, and who conquered.

Ladies and Gentlemen, best of luck to you all.

Sincerely,

Christian Gregory Smitten.
