FIW: Night of the Hardcores (5/27/11)

[brm]

Colt Cabana: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for tuning in to Federation Independent Television on your local syndicated network. tonight is a special night here in the FIW Arena, because it's Night of the Hardcores! Tonight we bring you the match you should have seen last month: Brain Damage' light tube challenge. And let's not waste anytime...bring on the hardcore!



CC: And there he is, the man who due to travel issues, was unable to make it to the Elk's Lodge for the Winter Classic last month. And you know he's got to be just a little bit upset about that fact. That's bad news for his opponent tonight.



CC: And there you see the light tubes that will be encouraged...and dare I say...allowed....in this match up.







CC: The FIW faithful definitely love their hardcore, and you can hear their reaction to that light tube.



CC: The interesting part of this match is that it's an open challenge. We don't know who Brain Damage's opponent will be. But, if you ask me, you'd have to be crazy to accept this kind of challenge.



CC: Wow...that's Shane Storm! What the hell is he doing in the FIW Arena?



CC: Shane Storm just might be crazy enough to accept this challenge, but that doesn't mean he's gonna win it.



CC: And it looks like this is about to get started. Storm had better not fool around here, because Brain Damage takes this stuff seriously.





CC: That's a pretty good way to begin things here, with Shane taking out the legs of Damage, and getting him away from that light tube.





CC: OH! Big left jab to the face...err...mask of Shane Storm. I doubt that mask does anything to pad that blow, Brain Damage can knock anybodies lights out with his fists.



CC: Oh no... Damage reaching for that light tube...





CC: HOLY SHOOT! Shane Storm taking that light tube right to the head!



CC: And that's what this match is going to be light folks...complete and utter ultra violence!





CC: And speaking of violence, Brain Damage just received a chair from a fan at ringside. Only in FIW folks.







CC: While Brain Damage begins to redecorate the ring, Shane Storm is getting away from those light tubes.





CC: It looks like we have the first table of the night. And with an event called Night of the Hardcores, first is rather appropriate.





CC: Well, it looks like Brain Damage isn't just bringing a table, he's bringing a board full of light tubes!





CC: Well, it looks like Shane Storm isn't going to just sit by and let Damage do whatever he wants.







CC: Big suplex by Shane Storm, but it looks like Shane was setting up Damage and not necessarily sending him through that table.









CC: Oh my...Shane Storm is showing that he knows his way around the hardcores too. This could be nasty.







CC: This is the ultraviolence! This is going to be something here...







CC: HOLY FREAKING SHOOT! Shane Storm just sent himself flying into a pile of light tubes! Storm might have just put himself out of this match!



CC: Just look at the carnage in that ring already! And this thing is just getting underway!





CC: And Damage is back on the outside, getting some more toys no doubt.



CC: Oh no! Not the light tube cabin! I used to play with lincoln logs...I wonder if Brain Damage played with light tubes?





CC: Wait...What is Shane Storm doing?



CC: CANNONBALL!!





CC: HOLY SHOOT! Shane Storm just sacrificed himself to send those light tubes smashing right into the chest and face of Brain Damage!





CC: And Shane Storm finally has some time to rearrange some furniture of his own.





CC: And he's back to that table.









CC: Uh oh...Brain Damage is up...and he's got a light tube...



CC: OH SHOOT!





CC: My SHOOT! Brain Damage just hit a home run off Shane Storm's head with that light tube shot!





CC: And Brain Damage is bringing another light tube with him into the ring...







CC: Brain Damage laying that light tube down on the mat, with some machinations in mind no doubt.





CC: Looking for a powerbomb here!







CC: Shane Storm just got powerbombed right on top of that light tube! This match is just insane!







CC: Oh...oh no...Brain Damage has just brought a trash can full of light tubes into the ring! There has to be a bakers dozen in there at least!





CC: Brain Damage pulling a light tube out of the can like the proverbial sword! Except Shane Storm is unarmed!







CC: Shane ducks the shot and keeps going into the ropes...







CC: WOW! SHINING WIZARD! That Japanese Move breaks the light tube right over Damage's face! That was just awesome!





CC: Shane Storm needs to get that table into play now, and he might be able to get the win off of that last move.



CC: Wait...he's got his eyes on the chair this time...





CC: You talk about ultraviolence...Shane's got a chair in one hand, and a light tube in the other.







CC: Oh no...if this is going to be what I think it is...I...







CC: Shane Storm just smashed a sandwich together. The buns, a steel chair and Brain Damage's head. The cream filling? A freaking light tube! That was simply brutal!



CC: Smart move! Cover! 1.............2...........



CC: HOLY! How did Brain Damage break out of that pin? I knew he was tough, but wow.









CC: What? What is Shane Storm doing with those light tubes!?





CC: Oh my shoot. This could be bad. Shane just raining down light tubes on top of that table.





CC: And Shane sends the trash can right into Damage's skull!





CC: And it looks like Shane is looking to end this here...







CC: Could he be looking for the package piledriver? You talk about adding insult to those injuries...if Shane ends this with Damage's own move...





CC: Oh no...









CC: SHANE STORM IS DEAD! He flew right into that shopping cart full of light tubes! Landing in a cart is bad enough, but padding it with light tubes...Shane has to be done!



CC: Cover!.......1................2...........



CC: ....3!!! Brain Damage picks up the victory over Shane Storm in this brutal light tube match.



CC: Brain Damage again cements his spot as the innovator of hardcore here in FIW.



CC: Stay tuned folks. We've got more hardcore for you, as "Sick" Nick Mondo defends the hardcore title!





CC: Welcome, viewing faithful, to Hype Central! The effects of The Winter Classic haven't truly been felt yet, but that's because we're enjoying a special program tonight. Next month, all the fallout will begin as we broadcast Independent Television from the FIW Arena. How will a flockless Raven react to Necro Butcher sending Cactus Jack off the second floor of the Elk's Lodge? What state of mind will CM Punk be in now that he's lost the Pure title? All this and some nice surprises (as usual) next month for Independent Television. But right now, "Sick" Nick Mondo brings some hardcore action!





CC: There he is folks. The embodiment of hardcore here in FIW: "Sick" Nick Mondo.







CC: There is the hardcore title, which is not acknowledged by FIW, but that doesn't mean it means any less to Mondo. He's still proud of it, and it means something to the hardcore folks here.





CC: Let's see who Mondo's opponent is here for our Night of the Hardcores main event.



CC: HOLY! Rob Van Dam! This is going to be something great folks.



CC: RVD has been on quite a roll here in FIW. He defeated Brain Kendrick and most recently Jack Evans in an amazing match at the Winter Classic. Obviously Keith Williams sees the success RVD's been having, and gave him this opportunity.







CC: And I have to say, this could be the toughest challenge Mondo has had for that title. This is different than Brain Damage, this is somebody who has a style that is quite similar to Mondo's. Let's see how Mondo handles himself in this environment.





CC: RVD sending Mondo into the ropes...







CC: Wow...RVD just clocking Mondo in the face with a roundhouse kick. And let me tell you, RVD does not hold back with this kicks. He will ground your ass with those.





CC: And RVD is not letting up...off the ropes...





CC: Rolling thunder....







CC: OH! Mondo with a kick of his own to RVD.





CC: OH! And another kick to the back of RVD's head! That's what I was talking about...Mondo and RVD are both very reliant on their kicks. Whose going to kick their way to the victory here?







CC: And "Sick" Nick Mondo going up to the turnbuckle setting RVD up for something here...









CC: Oh my shoot! RVD with a kick to Mondo's head, sending him all the way to the hard wood floor of the FIW arena!





CC: And RVD is definitely over with these fans, but so is Mondo. It's not about who's over, it's about who's got a harder head!



CC: Oh boy. I think we could see a tope here...







CC: RVD with a head of steam...



CC: Wait...Mondo has a chair....what the hell...





CC: HOLY SHOOT! RVD planchas over the top rope and lands hard on a steel chair! This match is breaking down into a hardcore brawl now!





CC: And Mondo has that chair in his grips now...







CC: And now it's breaking down. Mondo's trading in the kicks for hard steel chair shots, and it's working.



CC: And the crowd's eating it up too. But RVD is certainly no stranger to a chair...







CC: HOLY SHOOT! Van Daminator to the face of "Sick" Nick Mondo! That shot sent Mondo into the freaking crowd! Holy shoot!



CC: The fans are going nuts here! You cannot get this kind of wrestling anywhere else folks! This is the FIW!





CC: RVD making his way to the apron, and Mondo is out on his back in the crowd...what is going to happen here?



CC: Oh...oh my shoot...RVD is ascending the turnbuckle, and I think we're going to see a repeat of what Mondo did the very first night here in FIW...







CC: HOLY SHOOT! We just saw Rob Van Dam suicide dive off the top rope into the crowd on top of "Sick" Nick Mondo! That was freaking insane!





CC: And both men making their ways back to their feet...







CC: And RVD just dumps Mondo onto the wooden floor here...



CC: What the...RVD's got a chair!





CC: Oh my shoot! Chair leg drop face buster off the guardrail! This is just brutal!





CC: Yeah, that'll get you over here RVD, like you need it.









CC: And the RVD chants are deafening in this place!



CC: This guy really is the whole f***ing show!



CC: And what is Mondo doing?



CC: Is...is that a table!?





CC: Mondo's bringing the heavy equipment! Let's see how RVD handles this.







CC: What is Mondo doing on top of that table...





CC: WOW! Mondo leaped up to the top rope...











CC: HOLY SHOOT! SPRINGBOARD DDT! DID YOU SEE RVD PLANT AND SPRING OFF OF THAT! HOLY SHOOT!







CC: Mondo's got to capitalize on this opportunity...









CC: Yes, that's what you need! Norther Lights Suplex into a pin! 1.........2.............



CC: NO! RVD kicks out with a very near fall there.



CC: And RVD wisely sliding out of the ring to get his bearings back.







CC: RVD's crawled out onto that table...and Mondo's climbing the turnbuckle...



CC: RVD's up...and things are about to get interesting...





CC: HOLY! How did RVD get this foot up that high! Mondo is reeling off of that kick.





CC: OH NO! THIS IS BAD! SUPERPLEX ON THE OUTSIDE!!!









CC: OH MY SHOOT! IT LOOKS LIKE THOSE TWO WERE JUST SHOT OUT OF A TRASH COMPACTOR! THIS HAS TO BE OVER!





CC: RVD with a cover! 1............2...............



CC: .............3!!! Rob Van Dam just became the FIW hardcore champion! This is huge!





CC: It might not be an official title, but RVD just won the damn thing! And if you thought Mondo held onto that thing, I can't imagine what it will take to take it off of Rob Van Dam!





CC: Well, that's Night of the Hardcores for you! Thank you for joining us folks! Tune in next time for Independent Television, and all of the Winter Classic fallout. Goodnight folks!

[brm]

I had some really good feedback on this one!

deskjet - In my first reply returning to the boards, I'm proud to give it to FIW. I had to look up Shane Storm, and Yep, he's a real guy,lol. Amazing effects with the tube lights being shattered, and of course as always, phenomenal poses.

Next up, one of my favorite characters in FIW, Nick Mondo. Absolutely love how you've built this guy up. Against RVD, nonetheless. And wow! The pic of RVD jumping over the rope? Easily something that coulda been left out but you added it and it created that much more realsim just by that small detail. These are the things that really set your fed apart. Now onto the match...Man, this is really good. These poses are just insane man...really a work of art! Ok, I'm pissed Mondo lost ,lol, but a great match nonetheless, in fact... This is going up as a match of the year candidate momentarily.

Although only two matches, it gave so much. And the dedication you have to this is just indescribable. You truly do not get enough recognition for your work. Alrighty then, I need to see Winter Classic because I gotta see that Butcher/Cactus Jack match! Well done sir!

Stingersplash - Dang! What a sick match between Brain Damage and Shane Storm. love the editing you did with the light tube effects. Nice hardcore start to the show.

Another awesome match between Mondo and RVD. Some great poses and action. Love it.

Incredibly fun to watch, and the quality is what has become a standard from FIW. Excellent job. Keep it up!

BRP - Shane Storm vs. Brain Damage was insane! I can't believe how hardcore that was. The commentary was good but there were a few flaws in this match. The lightubes made it a deathmatch for sure. Your creativity showed very well in this match along with the other! Mondo vs. RVD was great! The poses are amazing in this match. The northern lights suplex was probably one of the best poses I have ever seen. I hope to see some more of these matches. The ending result was great too. It would be great if you had one more match on the show but the two matches were perfect! I think the entire match was incredible. I'm not a huge fan of hardcore matches but the matches were great. Its great to see wrestling and hardcore skill in one match. RVD is showing great things in FIW and Mondo will be after revenge. Overall it was an incredible show.

Ramos - Right dude, this is the first FIW show I've replied to I believe, so I'll be giving you a good one .

First of all I love your arena it has a great indy feel to it.
Not a huge fan of deathmatches but Shane Storm in FIW is something I am a huge fan of.
This was an awesome match and for someone that isn't that fond of deathmatches I really enjoyed it which says a lot about how great your poses and commentary are
Mondo/RVD was an insanely good match, had me on the edge of my seat as to who was going to win. In the end I'm glad that RVD picked up the win. The Tope from RVD onto the chair was sick and that poses for that especially were absolutely amazing. And the superplex through the table was a real Holy poop moment, that really brought the match up in my standards.

Awesome show man, keep up the great work

Mikey - Great show, brm. I like the idea of a little extra show, non-storyline. The matches were both fantastic. Shane Storm was quite the surprise, I didn't expect him, particularly on a hardcore show :-P but it was a good debut for the Stormer and I hope he hangs around FIW, makes me wish Id kept my Storm custom. The RVD/Mondo match was insane, and it's interesting that RVD won Mondo's unofficial hardcore belt.

Overall a great show, looking forward to the next episode of Independent TV!

ardillita - Like always, turning out an awesome show and giving us all a tutorial on wrestling posing for advanced pic fedders along the way! Dude, I do not know if I asked this before, but it would be really cool if you gave us a far away shot at your working area, so we can appreciate how that looks like. Incredible effects on the light tubes, 2 great matches, but I think the guys in the second bout must have been real nervous having to follow up on that first act! Awesome cool!

Mushario - brm, you put out some fantastic shows, in case you didn't know.
That Shane Storm custom is amazing!
And so are your poses.
Shining Wizard to the light tubes! SICK!
OH MY GOD! SHANE STORM IS DEAD!
Wow, what a sick match, I was kinda deep down hoping for Storm to win, but I figured he'd never beat Brain Damage.
Your poses really make it seem like they're real people moving, it's pretty ridiculous!
Suicide Dive over the barricade!!
RVD WINS! Wow, another great match!
What a fun little show brm, I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the next Independent TV!

Tirva - Love me some FIW!
Solid opener! Amazing poses as always, great action and dude, you have the light tube effects down to a tee! My only complaint is the ref looking of into space when they're on the outside, other than that, that's just me being critical! Solid opener!
That Hype Central was very ECW to me and was a great transition to your next match.
I hope RVD takes this one!
Van Daminator to Mondo into the crowd was SICK!!!!
This match is off the hook!
[image] in' Right! Match of the Year for FIW no doubt about it!
That was a sick match and i am not huge on hardcore or anything. Your setup is so good and that match was great!
I wish it ended in a 5-star frog splash but that was great!
Awesome show dude!

Wieselslapper4life - Your shows are always BRAIN BANGIN! without a doubt!! DA figures FTW!!! Keep up the great work!

N1SF - Awesome show man, I loved how you used guys who are never seen in pic feds (Shane Storm), and how you did not cheap out on use of string. Storm/Brain Damage was great, nice effects for the light tubes, would have liked to see a little blood tho. Mondo/Van Dam was insane! MOTY contender without a doubt. Awesome poses throughout, nothing bad to say here.

One question, how hard is it to work with that crowd? I know on my show, I have like a 10 person crowd and people are constantly falling over. Especially with poses into the crowd, how many times does stuff like that happen to you?

hayabusa13 - Badass episode! I loved the crowd, barricades, the light tube shattering effects, and the RVD shots. Great work! I look forward to the next episode=)

japtable - Okay, I will write a review on this because you [image] ing deserve one. Lets get started. I always loved the arena for FIW, especially the Popsicle rails, they rule. If only Brain Damage was actually this entertaining in CZW, or anywhere for that matter. Deathmatch opener? Me gusta. DA [image] SHANE STORM THIS poop RULES. Damage causes facial problems to Shane Storm with that fist. Light tube to the head, honestly it is oversold to be honest in my opinion :/ I know my deathmatches and one light tube isn't gonna be that detrimental, but this is your fed. Fan interraction, I love it. LIGHT TUBE TABLE [image] YES I LOVE THIS MATCH ALREADY. Suplex onto the table, that table is JAPANESE, just like me Shane Storm missed, and welp that'll hurt, but very nice positioning of the table underneath to have it tilt. That's hard to do. Light tube cabin! YES. Cannonball through the cabin! This is awesome. I think Storm is in love with that Japanese table or something. Clocked by damage! Nice powerbomb, but would of preferred 4-5 tubes instead. SHINING WIZARD! That was brilliant offense by Storm. Jesus christ that sandwich looked like it [image] ing hurt. He kicked out, jesus. YES PUT DEM TUBES ON DAT TABLE. Hit Damage in the head with a trash can to let him know he isn't far from home, I like it. OH poop STORM GOT [image] ED UP. Good lord into the shopping cart! My lord, what a finish to the match. Very good opener here. CUT ICE CREAM INTO PIECES THIS IS MY LAST DESSERT ITS SIK NIK MODNO EVERYONE. (if you get that joke you go on czwfans) Mondo vs. RvD? Loving this. God Mondo got his face checked by that kick to the skull. Rolling thunder? Nope, good reversal by Mondo. Another kick reversal, this is looking to be a soccer match folks. RvD planchas into a folding chair, good lord. VANDAMINATOR!!! Good lord! Crowd Spot! YES! YES! YES! No one is safe in FIW! Leg drop w/ chair from guardrail, good lord that chair is going to be dented. Mondo's got wood! No [image] ing way, no [image] ing way, Oh my! That DDT was executed to perfection, RVD's neck looks to be a mess. Woah, a kick out? No way. RVD goes off the script and clocks Mondo so hard with that foot, jesus. SUPERPLEXXXXXXXX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whaa? Mondo lost the belt just like that? Hmm, not exactly the ending spot for Mondo but was still a good match none the less. Good show (as usual) BRM, can't wait to see more from the show.

tl;dr : I enjoyed the show very much, the hardcore aspects of the first match were more towards the edge of a deathmatch, the second of one that probably would of been ran in say WWE, both quality matches. Love the Shane Storm custom. Crowd spot was awesome. In the first match you should of used morel light tubes in certain spots where one really wasn't enough. Excellent show. 4.5/5

bountyhunterblood5 - Great show i must say....loved the first match. Crazy stuff you came up with in that one. Main event was pretty awesome as well more matches would be great thou.

wwefan617 - brm, i have been keeping up with your fed and i must say that i am very impressed. i knew you were a great poser, but you have a talent for developing interesting story lines. there's not much that i can say other than "this show was great!" you customs are really nice. do you make them yourself? i love cabana as a commentator because he adds so much humor to the show. anyway, this show was very entertaining and i can't wait for the next one.
