FIW: Independent Television (12/18/10)

[brm]

Cactus Jack: "Greetings FIW public. It's your friend Cactus Jack bringing you good tidings from Federation Independent Wrestling..."



CJ: "And a lot of people have been buzzing...a lot of people have been asking each other, why did Cactus Jack smack Necro Butcher over the head with a chair, and watch him...as he fell two stories to the floor of the Hammerstein Ballroom, crashing through two tables. And what I have to say is...you're welcome Necro. You are welcome for me saving you."



CJ: "Because Necro...you might not realize it, but that world heavyweight title is not just a belt. It's not just a prize. It's not SOMETHING...that you just carry around and talk about in promos. The world heavyweight title...being the world champion...changes you. And I should know. The Cactus Jack...you see standing before you...is not the Cactus Jack of yesteryear. That's because...I didn't realize what that title does to people.

CJ: "Necro...Necro I see myself in you...and that's why I can't let you win that world title...because I don't want you to go down the wrong path. The glory, the honor of the title...is a LIE...and is NOTHING compared to the fight in your heart right now. Necro...I know what you're like. Right now, you're willing to beat yourself up...you're willing to sacrifice...you're...willing to die...for this business...for these people...for your own self respect....but when you win the title...suddenly, what's the point...?

CJ: "Necro...I can't be saved...I've tasted the glory, and I'm a doomed soul. I can never go back to where you are now...but you...you're still pure...you're still in love with the business...you're still fighting...and maybe I can get a little glimpse of my former glory, by saving you from yourself...and this horrible, parasitic championship....You're welcome Necro...you're welcome...."



Raven: "Hey Necro....I told you there would be others....hahaha...."



Raven: "Quote the Raven....nevermore!"







Colt Cabana: And welcome ladies and gentleman, to Independent Television. We thank you for joining us on your local syndicated stations who have the courtesy and picking up our broadcast.





CC: And this one, folks, is going to be a real treat. Rob Van Dam is making his in ring debut for the FIW against Brian Kendrick! I cannot wait!





CC: Kendrick has been looking to get booked, and getting kicked in the face by RVD seems to have done the trick for him. But hey, in all seriousness, this is going to be a really good showing...I can just feel it. We're kicking off the first official broadcast of Independent Television with a real gem.





CC: And they lock up.





CC: And we have a clean break it seems...







CC: And RVD just takes the legs out from Kendrick in a really slick maneuver.





CC: Big jumping leg drop, right on the face of Kendrick. What a match we have to start off the night folks.







CC: And Kendrick is back on his feet, but it looks like RVD is planning something here...







CC: HOLY! RVD just tried to take Kendrick's head off with that spin kick, but Kendrick ducked out of it!











CC: And what capitalization by Kendrick! He just stuffed RVD with that big back suplex!







CC: It looks like the action is about to take to the air now...this could go badly for either man.









CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! RVD JUST BROKE KENDRICK IN HALF!





CC: And RVD isn't even going to cover the man! He's got something more in mind!













CC: Split legged moonsault! Cover! 1.................2...............



CC: And Kendrick somehow manages to kick out!





CC: RVD picks up the lifeless body of Kendrick, and Spanky is in trouble if he allows RVD to control the match like this.











CC: There you go! Kendrick slides out of the ring off that Irish whip attempt! That's how you do it Spanky!









CC: HOLY! RVD WITH A PLANCHA OVER THE TOP ROPE!





CC: And this crowd is definitely making RVD feel comfortable here in FIW!







CC: Oh boy. I think we all know what RVD has in mind here. Kendrick's in trouble here...







CC: I see a spinning leg drop on the horizon...







CC: HOLY!! RVD just crashed and burned! He might have messed up his leg on that one! Kendrick really baited him on that one.







CC: What the...Kendrick's standing on top of the barricade! What's he thinking...









CC: OH MY SHOOT! Kendrick snapped off a hurricanranna from the guardrail to the floor! Maybe RVD needs to take Kendrick a bit more seriously!







CC: And both men are returning to the ring. Kendrick better capitalize on that 'ranna before he loses his momentum...







CC: WOW! And that kick just halted any advances Kendrick had going...







CC: RVD springboard sunset flip! COVER!!





CC: Wait! Kendrick with a reverse! COVER!!





CC: RVD with a roll over!





CC: And Kendrick with a back sommersault into a cover!





CC: RVD with a reverse roll through!





CC: And this crowd is exploding! They appreciate the effort that both men are putting out in this match up!













CC: HOLY! Kendrick just took RVD's head off with that spinning enzugiri!





CC: This is it. If Kendrick is going to win this one, he's got to capitalize off that move.







CC: Kendrick going high risk! That might not have been the best strategy!







CC: HOLY SHOOT! RVD JUST REVERSED THAT CROSS BODY INTO A BODY SLAM! People don't realize how strong RVD really is! That was sick!





CC: Oh no. The end could be near for Kendrick here...





CC: This is it...RVD's set up...but that's quite a distance...he can't...









CC: HUGE FIVE STAR FROG SPLASH!! It's done! 1.............2..............



CC: 3!!!!! RVD just picked up his first victory here in FIW!!





CC: And something tells me, RVD is going to be really comfortable here in Federation Independent Wrestling!





CC: This is Colt Cabana for Independent Television. I hope you guys really enjoyed that RVD and Brian Kendrick classic. Man, I wonder how far RVD can go in FIW, not to mention how Kendrick's going to get booked after that!

CC: But I also have to cover hyping up the upcoming shows we have, so be sure to join us in February for FIW's Winter Classic. We'll be announcing the card as we get closer, but you can be sure that it will surely be a classic.

CC: And don't go away, because up next we have hardcore action, as "Sick" Nick Mondo defends his "hardcore title" against FIW's resident dark stalker, GANGREL!







CC: And there he is folks. The face of hardcore here in FIW. "Sick" Nick Mondo. And let me tell you guys, I have never seen somebody put it all on the line night in and night out like this guy, and for an unrecognized title!



CC: This guy puts his life on the line to defend that title, because that title tells him he's the best at what he does. And he's put it on the line every time he's had a match so far! That's a fighting champion.





CC: And there is his opponent. Gangrel. I'm not so sure Gangrel knows what he's getting into here though. Gangrel isn't exactly known for his hardcore style, but it seems like he's trading in his big entrance for a steel chair. That's a step in the right direction.





CC: And it looks like things are going to get started right away. Let the violence begin!



PICTURE 123 MISSING



CC: Oh no. Gangrel's lost his chair and it's in Mondo's hands now...





CC: But Gangrel approaches the situation from the back, and has Mondo locked for something...





CC: OH MY SHOOT! Gangrel just german suplexed Mondo out of his boots onto his own chair! That was impressive!





CC: And it seems Gangrel is taking it to the outside. Maybe he wants to bring some more weapons into this...







CC: It's a table ladies and gentleman. It looks like Gangrel is a bit more familiar with hardcore than I thought.





CC: And it looks like Mondo's pulling a shopping cart into the ring! This could get interesting!





CC: And they meet back in the ring...





CC: Mondo has something in mind here...









CC: Tornado DDT! Mondo pushed off of that cart for extra momentum! What innovation from this guy!









CC: And Mondo is keeping the pressure on Gangrel here, picking him back up before he has time to recollect himself.







CC: Mondo sends Gangrel into the corner hard...



CC: And he's set up a chair. This is going to be good...











CC: HOLY SHOOT! Gangrel just reversed Mondo's move into a powerbomb onto the shopping cart! That'll shut Mondo down fast!



CC: And now Gangrel seems to have the idea. Keep Mondo down, and use the weapons to his advantage, as he reaches for a steel chair.









CC: DID YOU HEAR THAT! Mondo just got cracked in the skull with that chair! If Mondo wasn't taking this match seriously, he probably is reconsidering that now.







CC: And now Gangrel is in control, and it looks like that table Gangrel brought into play before is going to get smashed...







CC: Gangrel is thinking powerbomb! This could be bad folks!











CC: HOLY SHOOT! MONDO just reversed the powerbomb, throwing Gangrel right onto that table!







CC: Oh my...no way...





CC: MONDO SLEDGE! MONDO SLEDGE TO THE OUTSIDE THROUGH THE TABLE!! This crowd is going insane!







CC: Mondo really just showed Gangrel, and everyone in this arena, what he is willing to do to prove he is the best hardcore wrestler in FIW.





CC: Oh boy. The ladder has shown its face in this match. We've seen Mondo use the ladder in some of his other matches, so maybe he's looking to end this thing here.













CC: It looks like Mondo was maybe thinking of taking Gangrel out, but Gangrel is making his way back into the ring...



CC: And it looks like Mondo just realized what's going on...





CC: Ladies and gentlemen, this could be a very dangerous moment here...Mondo is stuck up there on top of that ladder...









CC: OH MY FREAKING SHOOT! MONDO JUST REVERSE RANNA'D GANGREL OFF THE TOP OF THAT LADDER! Gangrel may be dead! Oh my shoot!





CC: And the ref is checking on Gangrel...man that was bad...



CC: Cover...1........2.............3





CC: Man...what will Mondo not do to keep that hardcore title!? We may never see a new hardcore champion in FIW as long as Mondo is holding onto that belt.





CC: And there is your unofficial hardcore champion, "Sick" Nick Mondo.





CC: Oh boy. There they are. Raven's Flock. We at least knew what kind of behavior to expect out of Raven, but to see Mick Foley...Cactus Jack, smack Necro in the head with a chair, and tell him he's welcome...I don't know what to think of that.





CC: But this crowd certainly knows what they think of these guys. They're getting booed out of the FIW Arena!



CC: And it looks like Cactus Jack has a microphone...this outta be good.



Cactus Jack: Hey Necro...I just thought this would be a good time to come out here...and talk to you about your future in this business.



CJ: Let us old souls bare the weight of the world title...let us carry the cross...not you Necro. Necro...you're not done. You're just getting strated in this business. You don't want to lose your heart for it...we're saving you Necro. Let us save you...

CC: What a load of crap...





Raven: Necro Butcher...don't mess with the Flock, or you might get your eyes pecked out. Cactus Jack understands who runs this company, and you need to understand that too. You can either be part of the flock, or part of the flock's dead carcass of an afternoon snack.



Raven: So if you really have anything to say to us after what went down in New York City, by all means, show your face right here...right now...



CC: Oh boy...IT'S NECRO! And he's got a friend with him!







CC: Necro's cleaning house! Hallowicked just got knocked out of his mask...and Raven is bailing! This place is going crazy!! And his eyes meet Cactus Jack! His eyes meet Cactus!



CC: And Cactus gets out of there too!



Necro Butcher: Cactus...you think the world title is going to kill my passion for the business? You couldn't be more wrong. Hey, just because you became a washed up has-been doesn't mean I have to. Maybe I'm better than you Cactus...maybe you're scared that the Necro Butcher's gonna take your torch!



NB: And Raven...your flock is the only reason you don't get your ass kicked right here tonight. But I'm gonna change all that. You see Raven, just like you "systematically" took over this company, I'm going to "systematically" destroy your flock, until it's just you and me. And I'm starting with that puppet, Hallowicked. So be ready, because I'm one crazy bastard with my eyes on you!

CC: Necro Butcher just declared war on Raven and his Flock! Man, if any one man could oppose that group, I've gotta put my money on Necro!



CC: And this is Colt Cabana for Independent Television signing off! Thank you for joining us...This...IS THE FIW!

IT's THE FEEDBACK:


Benjamin Payton - Great Show! Like usual I enjoyed the show and I can't wait to see where this Necro Butcher vs Raven's Flock goes to because I think that Necro will get to the end and the Flock will grow. I liked all of the matches and thought that the Kendrick match was great but I think that Kendrick and Evans will end up entering the Flock once Hallowick has his match against Necro Butcher. I loved everything!
Overall: 10/10

N1SF - Awesome show man. The opening promo was really good, the opening video was a nice touch as well. Great 1st match, I wish Kendrick you have won tho. I enjoyed the second match, I like the Gangrel custom, what shirt is that? Mondo is insane. Nice promo to end the show.

Overall, really good show BRM. You poses, as always, are top notch. I cant wait for the next one.

marc - Good to see that your federation is back for a bit, honestly this is my favorite federation on the board right now. Really nice job on capturing Cactus Jack during that promo, I honestly could legit imagine him saying all that in a promo. Cactus and Raven being on the same faction is just amazing. AND WHATS THIS, AN OPENING VIDEO!!!

First match should be good, glad your continuing the Jack / Kendrick team of sorts. You have really nice pacing in your matches, What a back suplex from Kendrick! Oh I marked out so much for the moonsault to kick to the gut, insane. Loved the sequence of moves then going into that insane 'rana from the guardrails! Pin reversal part was very cool, don't believe I've seen that in a pic fed match. Nice kick to the head, then a head spike by RVD! The first mid-air pic with RVD going for the frogplash was amazing. RVD going over was good, I did like how you had the commentator put over Kendrick with the 'not to mention how Kendrick's going to get booked after that!' line. Overall very nice match not much to complain about, the length was great spots could of been more spread out more maybe with some transition parts in between maybe, regardless though I enjoyed it.

Next match is looking interesting. That German suplex with Nick landing on the chair that he was holding was insanely innovative. d**n that tornado DDT looked brutal. And what a finish with that reverse head scissors(?) off the ladder! Really good job on this match, I think that Nick good a very nice amount of offense in whilst still having Gangrel look strong despite not winning the match.

Promo to finish off the show was nice though I'm kind of iffy on Necro coming out, I mean he fell of the balcony thing onto the tables, I reckon there should of been more selling of that. Still though good advancement of story lines.

Overall very good, though in my mind you should of had CM Punk there in some form to plant the seeds for his next feud or continue his with El Generico. Alsi hope we get to see some more Quackenbush in the future!
Again though great show, kind of makes me want to make something, can't wait for the next show!

june - This is my first time seeing one of your shows. I thought the opening video was great, and your Cactus Jack promo's were good. Very similar to Cactus' promo's during his feud in ECW with Dreamer.

The lighting in your arena was good throughout the show, but I think your presentation could you use a lot of, no disrespect but it is a bit amateurish.

Your photography on the other hand was great. and the match was filled with highspots, but I'm more into storytelling, selling and the use of ring psychology.

I'm guessing this fed has relaxed rules because I did not see the ref once admonish or even administer a count while RVD & Kendrick battled on the outside of the ring, as a matter of fact I did not know that the 3rd man in the ring was the ref until he counted the fall in the first match. It kinda bothered me that your ref basically remained in the same spot throughout both matches.

The hardcore match was what it was, but again no selling whatsoever. Great poses and action shots though.

Overall, nice effort, but I'd like to see a longer show in the near future. Thanks for sharing this with us.

ardillita - I was missing this! I consider you to be one of them junk artists, that grab twisted pieces of scrap iron, engines and motor vehicle parts, spray paint and a welding machine and create these astonishing sculptures, translated to a plastic ring and plastic figures. Always awesome and crazy, unexpected, hardcore and featuring some of the best match choreography and SUPERB posing!

tirva - Next time, please dot he show in segments instead of on full post because it feels long that way.
looking forward to this show: here we go!
Awesome opening promo.
Love that RVD figure. I love how intimate your entrance pics are with all those fans! It gives off a great looking crowd!
Weird, you have black string you can't fool me, lol.
Your poses are awesome!
I wish you had ring skirts and padded floors.
RVD vs. Kendrick was off the hook! Your poses are sick.
Retarded finish to Mondo vs. Gangrel. You are a spot monkey!
Solid ending to the show.
Everytime I see one of your shows I think about ending my fed to buy the fm series and fc series of figures. Great show man. Wish it had a promo or two more but i read it beforehand and understood. Great job!

deskjet - Finally getting around to this...WOW, what a promo by Jack! Was that a new intro vid? Loved it! Really like Kendrick in your fed, his character is so hilarious. Ahh well, another day for spanky I guess. I like the idea of an unrecognized title for Mondo and how you explained that it kinda reminds him of what he's about. Mondo Sledge! Geez, I thought Gangrel had it early on with that move onto the cart, but glad Mondo pulled it off. Great way to end the show with Necro and the Flock...this feud is very well done. I always enjoy watching your presentations because it's very realistic. At this risk of sounding corny, your talent for figure posing is truly amazing! I also enjoyed the shorter format. I felt like I got a full show with nothing lost. Great work Again, looking forward to the next show:)

ps...hope college is going well. You and wwefan gettin knowledge and stuff

warsman - Wow. THAT'S the Cactus Jack I wish Mick Foley still had in him. Intense. Passionate. Scary.

VERY COOL intro package/opening sequence.

The Whole F'N Show starting things off against Spanky! Alright, should be fast and furious...and I wasn't wrong! I really like your action sequences, it's almost overkill, you shoot almost every second, like an animation, lol. It's great though! I like the plancha by RVD taking out Spank. Lots of high risk by both guys and a 5 Star Frog Splash later...great match! Who was seconding Spanky?

Mondo and Gangrel...hmmm...the vampire's HARDCORE! I like what you can do with the old Finishing Maneuvers figs, they pose great! Mondo is a maniac! The only minus is the ref seems to be in a trance until it was time to count the pin. But what a sick hardcore match!

Nice promo and run-in at the end. It left us wanting much more!

Great show, thanks for sharing!

Wars

british invasion - Its good to see that some of the people who stopped posting shows coming back. I was never a big fan of 'spot fest' wrestling, but if thats your thing its your thing. Things I like about your fed, the high spot moves are done really well, I dont think the regular chain wrestling stuff is of the same caliber though. Not a big fan of your arena to be honest but you did put a lot of work into it and I can respect that( it must of took FOREVER to glue all those popsicle sticks together). The Cactus Jack promo is hands down your best work ever, so good job there. The RDV match was what it was, and the Necro/Flock feud has some potential to say the least. And please for the love of all things move your ref around a little! Good work as usual, glad to see your shows back on here.

wwefan - Glad to see you put out another show. I like the fact that Cactus Jack starts the show off with an explanation for crewing Necro Butcher. Great opening video as well. Let's get this show on the road.

Kendrick versus RVD should be an awesome match filled with high-flying action. I'm excited about this one...

That was a great match that lived up to my expectations. There was some exciting outside action mixed with some amazing in-ring poses. I enjoyed it. I expected RVD to come out with the W and he did in epic fashion. That Five Star Frogsplash was insane!

Uh oh, whenever Sick Nick steps through the ropes you can guarantee that there is going to be some gruesome action. I think he's found his match in Gangrel. I hope the blood-sucking brute comes out with the win...

That match was ridiculous! Haha it had some amazing action. The inclusion of the ladder and the shopping cart really spiced things up a bit. The spot where Mondo drives Gangrel and his own body through the table was very fun to watch. I wanted Gangrel to win, but Sick Nick put on a great show and got the W fair and square. Great match.

The ending segment was great. I was expecting Necro to show up, but wasn't sure if he would be able to after falling so many feet through two tables. Glad to see Necro get some payback.

Overall, I really enjoyed this show. I am also in college and have no time for pic fedding. Glad to see that you have made some time. Great job! =)

Mikey - Forgive me for not noticing this until now!

Great opening promo, sounded exactly like a 90s Cactus promo. I like the total weirdness of this new Flock-esque group, Raven, Wicked and Cactus, what a gang.

The first match was great, those poses are so fluid and show the motion really well, I'd have to say you're one of the best posers I've seen in pic fed history. Really realistic match too, scrolling through I could almost forget it was a pic fed match.

Enjoyed the hardcore match too. I wasn't too sure of Gangrel as an opponent for Mondo to begin with, but it all worked out fine, and I really enjoyed the match. Good to see Mondo getting some defenses in, a lot of feds kind of pass the belts about far too much with no real defenses.

Good way to end the show with your "main feud" if you will. Excited to see where it goes, hoping Necro gets some buddies in there or else he'll be fighting a lonely battle.

Really good show overall brm, loved watching it and can't wait for the next one!

Mo4sho - The poses in this we absolutly sick, i loved them, you put alot of work into it, i loved it man, the cactus promo was very ecwish to me, i loved it!, Your roster is one of your own for sure man, Show ended with me wanting more, great stuff bro, keep it up my man!!
