Couple of bits missing, but what the hey...
Enjoyed the battle royal. Angel and his code of honour's rally gonna get him into trouble one of these days. But was a good read with some cool little alliances and back tabbing, as expected in a rumble match.
Cool seg from the midnight court. Rhys, get that seg in, I want to know why you did it! Renfields stipulation's awesome, adds character and a sence of urgency to his reign. Will Marie do the same? Kinda hope so! 😋
White vs T-Rock... wrote it, so obviously awesome stuff there.... 😋
Jenny, Redman and the Kinkaid brothers, well, I'm loving the interaction between everyone. can't wait to see Victor and Matt in the ring. Should be one of the funniest matches I've read. How can you wrestle a man when yo want not contact with him what so ever? Looking forward to that one!
With the skill set, this is turning out to have and interesting dynamic. Kenai being left on the sideline, he's gotta crack sooner of later... I will say though, this is the second time when El Conquistador was mentioned in a Skill Set match. Could do with confirming who you're facing at any given time as this just confuses people a little.
Let's get the gaps filled in people. It's a fun read but when there are segs missing and matches without a winner it comes across as if people don't really care all that much. And as a new person to thi myself, it doesn't garner much confidence if you were a newbie who wanted to join in...

I PM'd my bit to chux sorry bout the lateness been busy with work and fsmily emergency stuff been a very hectic few days.
Thanks Taker_2004 for the banner!
Rhys' section is in.
The fireworks on the ramp go off, dazzling the 4CW audience with their colours, and showing that we’re live on the 4W Network! The camera shows various shots of the crowd, with signs such as “Why Rhysus Why?” “[chux] doesn’t [sux]” and “Viper Rules”.
Phoenix: What a capacity crowd we’ve got tonight! Good evening everybody and welcome to 4CW Stormfront!
Before Phoenix can continue with his introduction, the lights flicker on and off, getting quicker and quicker.
Jeffrey: Uh, I think I’m gonna have a seizure.
The lights stop flickering, and turn off. Rob Zombie’s “Lords of Salem” plays from the system as thick white mist floods the entrance way. And emerging from the mist, standing together as one is the Midnight Court: Carstein, “The Reptile” Jon Viper, “The Bruiser” Rhysus, Marie Dubois and Renfield.
Loveless: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this this, the Midnight Court!
In unison, the Court walks down the ramp and slide into the ring. Renfield and Marie raise their belts into the air, Rhysus flashes his 4CW Hall of Fame ring, Viper gives the crowd a menacing look, and Carstein snatches the microphone from Sarah. He snarls at her to leave the ring, which she does.
Jeffrey: It’s ok Sarah; you can come sit with me!
She doesn’t listen to Ray, and sits over by the ring bell.
The Court stands in the middle of the ring, together in a line, whilst Carstein stands in front of them, with the 4CW World Heavyweight Championship belt over his shoulder. He looks out at the crowd, and raises the microphone to his mouth.
Carstein: Why, Rhysus, why? Why? That question is all we’ve heard all week. Why, Rhysus, why? How about we ask him? So why, Rhysus, why?
Carstein passes the microphone to the Bruiser.
Rhysus: So you all wanna know why I joined the Midnight Court. I dont know why you're asking. It seems pretty obvious to me.
Rhysus waits for the boos to settle before continuing.
Rhysus: I gave everything I had at Revival. I fought harder than ever before... but Carstein still beat me and took the 4CW Title. I have a hell of a lot of respect for anyone who can beat me at my own game - the Death Match - and Carstein did exactly that.
More boos from the crowd.
Rhysus: Carstein and I were both made Hall of Famers at Revival. It's my most proudest achievement. And I realised that it was my war with Carstein over the past year that made us Hall of Famers. So in a way I owe Carstein. And he owes me. And what better way to pay eachother our debts than working together to dominate this company and be not just a couple of Hall of Famers but THE Hall of Famers. The two biggest stars in 4CW history. I like the sound of that.
Rhysus grimaces as he continues picking up on an uncomfortable subject.
Rhysus: Ella doesn't like it. She took my daughter and moved out. Zeph definitely doesnt like it. We almost had a bust up in the locker room before the show. But really, I'm doing my family a favour. You see Carstein saw what noone else did. He saw the monster inside me and unleashed it on the world. My family are better off without me. Im better off... with Carstein ...and the Midnight Court.
Rhysus hands the mic back and the crowd erupt in boos clearly not satisfied with Rhys' explanation.
Carstein: A few weeks ago I would have called all of this *Carstein points at the Court* the future of 4CW. But now I can safely say that standing before you is the present, the present of 4CW.
Here we have Renfield, the Custom Cup Champion. Marie Dubois, the Mistress of Magic and the Women’s Champion. “The Reptile” Jon Viper, a cold-blooded and unfeeling killer. And “The Bruiser” Rhysus, 4CW Hall of Famer and one of the most dangerous men to have ever stepped foot inside the squared circle.
And of course, there’s me. I am the 4CW World Heavyweight Champion. I am a 4CW Hall of Famer. I am the most dominant individual in this company. We are the present of this company. We don’t need to plan and manipulate our way to domination. We already dominate. 4CW is our kingdom, and you are all witnessing the reign of the Midnight Court.
However, it is not enough to simply state that I’m top dog in this company. No, I have to show it. It’s not enough to say you should fear me. I have to create that fear. I have to show what will happen to anyone who stands against me, against the Midnight Court.
From tonight, the Court will issue forth its first decree to the denizens of 4CW. Any attempt to remove the Court from its current position of power will be stopped, the perpetrators eliminated. No one will stand in our way.
And speaking of decimation and destruction, the Custom Cup Champion has something he wishes to share with us.
Carstein passes the microphone to Renfield.
Renfield: The stipulation of my Custom Cup reign. My Master taught me to do unto others before they do unto me. So I have learned to torture, to hurt, to inflict pain. The cries of agony and anguish from my opponents is music to me, their high pitched screams a beautiful melody. My stipulation will be “I Quit”!!!
Carstein: This is the Midnight Court. 4CW is ours. Accept our rule, or perish.
Carstein drops the microphone, and the Court head to the back.

Match X - Chris Marks v Mike Nichols
Winner: ???
*
We head back to the arena to catch the end of Angel's entrance, dropping through a spotlight on a wire down to ringside. He's out here alone this week, as are BA Starr and Virus, leaving Los Dragonquistadores at a distinct advantage. Angel takes the chance to shake the referee's hand, then each of his opponents in turn. The last man to shake is Virus, who accepts but pulls Angel in to a kick to the gut.
Match 1 - Angel v BA Starr v Cyber Dragon v El Conquistador v Virus v WH Storm
"King of the cruiserweights" battle royal
The six men split off into groups, with Virus getting the jump on Angel, Starr attacking Dragon and Conquistador pairing up with Storm. They all try to force each other up against the ropes a bit, Dragon knocks Starr back to buy himself some space so he can go help his partner out. Los Dragonquistadores work together for a while, fending off attacks from all four other men.
The match rolls on with little progress, Los Dragonquistadores use double team attacks whenever possible and try to lift Starr over the top together. Starr lands on the apron and knocks Dragon back with a right hand, Conquistador is ready with some kicks between the ropes to the midsection and then hits the far ropes to set up a handspring forearm to knock Starr down.
BA Starr is eliminated.
Angel has Virus in a bad spot, Storm rushes over to help out but Virus grabs a headlock and pulls Storm half way over too. Angel realises Storm was trying to help him, so he makes the save and both Angel and Storm hit stereo dropkicks to knocks Virus to the floor.
Virus is eliminated
As soon as Virus hits the floor, Storm hoists Angel up and over the ropes! Angel hangs on and regroups on the apron, looking at Storm with wide, disbelieving eyes. Storm holds his hands up to apologise, reminding Angel that this is every man for himself. Angel nods his understanding, then quickly grabs Storm's head and rams it into the turnbuckle pad. Storm falls to the mat in perfect position, so Angel heads up top and hits a 360 rotating corkscrew splash with no flip.
Meanwhile, Conquistador and Dragon are resting. They see their opening to strike, so they each take a man to lift over the top. Both men fight back, but only Angel has enough left to make a difference. Conquistador flips Storm over the top with a big tilt-a-whirl headscissors and knocks him off with a springboard off the adjacent ropes into a dropkick.
WH Storm is eliminated.
Cyber Dragon and Angel go back and forth, rolling around the ropes jostling for position. Angel lifts Dragon up and over, but Dragon kicks at Angel's ankles to knock him down and slingshots back into the ring. Conquistador helps his partner to lift Angel over the ropes, Angel lands on the apron and starts to mount a comeback. Right hands knock Dragon back, then a headbutt knocks Conquistador down. Dragon charges Angel and lays him out with a clothesline, but Angel manages to land on the apron to stay safe. Dragon kicks at Angel a bit, but realises he's getting nowhere and turns around looking for some momentum from the far ropes. As Dragon turns, Conquistador charges for a big lariat but stops just short and steps back. Dragon asks his partner what he's doing, Conquistador holds his hands up and shakes his head. Dragon isn't happy, but Conquistador tries to make it up to him by helping him eliminate Angel. Unfortunately for him Angel is ready for him, delivering a shoulder to the midsection between the ropes and then a slingshot hurricanrana to whip Conquistador out and to the floor.
El Conquistador is eliminated
Angel is too quick for Dragon to make the save, Dragon lunges over the ropes but can't catch his partner. He stays there a moment too long and Angel catches him with a boot to the chin. Dragon falls back into the ring, dizzy but fighting to his feet. Angel stalks for a springboard move, leaping up to the top rope only to be caught by a charging, jumping uppercut by Dragon, knocking him right down to the base of the ramp.
Winner: Cyber Dragon
Angel lands hard, but looks to be ok. He sits on the floor and shakes his head in disappointment. Cyber Dragon hears the bell and leaps to his feet, celebrating his win and his new title; king of the cruiserweights.

Loveless: And introducing, from Barry Docks Wales, weighing in at 320 lbs, Brian 'The Freight Traaain' WHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTEEEEE!'
Metallicas 'Wherever I may Roam' comes over the PA, and as the full band kicks in, Brian White bounds out, fist bumping and shouting WOOO! as if sounding the whistle on an old steam train.
Loveless: And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Candy, T-Rooock Fouuurr THOOOOUUUUSSAAAANNNDDD!
His music comes on and T-Rock and Candy make their way to the ring.
Phoenix: T-Rock looks focused tonight.
Jeffrey: Ya think? If you remember, it was T-rock and his partner that got destroyed the first time we saw the Freight Train. No wonder T-Rocks focused, he want's revenge!
T-Rock Enters the ring and immediately goes after White, compelling the ref to call for the bell.
Match 2 - Brian White v T-Rock 4000
Some good back and forth to begin with. T-Rock looks like he could go with White for the first minute or so before the Freight Train put's the gas on and over powers T-Rock with a huge power slam followed by several quick elbow drops. After that, White begins to chuck T-rock around the ring, hitting him with clotheslines and lariats before whipping him into a corner and hitting a stinger splash. White retreats to the oppasit side and calls for the Runaway Train, which he hits for the one, two, three.
Winner: Brian White
Candy drags T-Rock out of the ring as the ref raises Whites arm in victory. The crow still don't really know what to make of him yet so the reaction is generally positive.
Phoenix: Well, Brian Whites trail of carnage continues with an emphatic win over T-Rock 4000.
Jeffrey: Emphatic is right. I get the feeling even some f our top names would have a hard time against this man.
Phoenix: We'll have to wait and see about that for now, but I doubt we'll have to wait long.
We head to the back, where Jenny Loveless is standing by in her interview position.
Jenny: Ladies and gentlemen, my guest at this time..."The Icon" Mark Redman.
Redman: You could sound a little happier about this, Jen.
Jenny: You're right. I could.
Redman: Wow. Why so hostile?
Jenny: Don't act stupid.
Redman: You mean I'm not normally stupid? Jen, that's the nicest thing you've ever said to me with your clothes on.
Jenny: Ungh! Let's just get this over with, ok?! Last week you defended the universal championship against a former champion and 4CW hall of famer, Dredrick Kincaid. How are you feeling after such an impressive victory?
Redman: Jen, a little advice. If you're going to survive as an interviewer here, you'll need to stop sounding like you're reeling off a load of memorised lines.
Jenny: But I am. "Impressive victory"? You think I didn't see you cheat?
Redman: Cheat? Hey, it wasn't me who said they didn't want anything serious.
Jenny: I'm not talking about me! You gave Dredrick a low blow!
Redman: And you gave me a low b-
Jenny: ARGH! Shut up!
Redman: That would make this interview very difficult for you.
Jenny: Seriously?! I'm done. I'm done with you! GAH!
Jenny flips the mic to the ground and storms off camera. Redman shrugs as if he has no idea what's going on.
Redman: Must be that time of the month.
Suddenly "The Icon" jumps a mile when someone creeps up behind him and grabs a handful of his ass. He turns around to find none other than Victor Kincaid, and he has his brother with him.
Victor: Hmm. Not what I'd call buns of steel, but not without their charm.
Redman: Y-You! You get the hell away from me!
Victor: Oh please. You know you enjoy the attention. Ruff!
Redman: Did you just bark at me?
Dredrick: Brother, allow me. Hi Mark, remember me? I'm the guy you screwed last week.
Victor: And if you play your cards right, I'm the guy who'll screw you this week.
Dredrick: Brother! So crass.
Victor: You're right, excuse me. I just get so...ahem. Please, continue.
Dredrick: Mark, as you may be aware, Victor and I are very close with our dear leader, Chris Marks.
Victor: Belly, to you.
Dredrick: And your skullduggery last week has not escaped his notice.
Victor: I have since been in close contact with my dear Bell-Bell and he's granted us-
Dredrick: Me. He's granted me the right to name the next contender to your universal championship.
Redman: What?! Why?! I mean, that doesn't even make sense! Why not just give you another shot?
Victor: When you've been doing this as long as we have, you'll understand that sometimes immediate success isn't always your number one priority.
Dredrick: Indeed, brother. Sometimes a little amusement goes a long way. And nothing would strike me as being quite so amusing as watching you go one on one with my dear brother here.
Redman: Him?! Y-You wouldn't!
Dredrick: I might! I have time to think things over. I'll be in touch.
Dredrick turns away and leaves the scene. victor follows, but stops and leans in close to Redman.
Victor: Mmm. Touch. Can't wait.
Stormfront comes back from commercial with the D’Amico Brothers; Tommy and Frankie D’Amico in the ring, and Gulmira by Ramin Djawadi playing, and The Skill Set; Kensai & Paladin Wells on their way down to ringside wearing their 4 Tag Team Championship belts on their shoulders. Courtney Frost is only a few steps behind them carrying the Tag Team Championships from the various other federations the Skill Set has conquered. The 4CW Tag Team Champions slide into the ring after de-straping and handing Courtney the 4CW Tag Team Championship belts to Coutrney as the D’Amico Brothers look on.
Match 3 - Skill Set v D'Amico Brothers
The bell rings and Tommy D’Amico starts out against Paladin Wells, charging with a dropkick that Wells pshes aside as he steps away from the attack. As Tommy gets up, Paladin goes off the ropes and immediately hits a bone-crunching SPEAR!!!
Wells picks up Tommy D’Amico and tosses him to Frankie D’Amico for the tag. Frankie charges Paladin Wells and wells steps to the side and catches Conquistador with an overhead belly to belly suplex!!! Wells smiles to the crowd as he pulls Frankie D’Amico up and then back down into THE HOLY AVENGER (Jackhammer Powerslam)!
The crowd goes wild with cheers as Paladin looks to Kensai for the tag, but then, instead, hooks Frankie into the Last Rites (Haas of Pain leglock/backbreaker)!
The ref calls for the bell as Frankie screams in pain and taps immediately.
Winners: Skill Set
The crowd erupts even more as the announcer shouts: The winners of the match... and STILL 4CW Tag Team Champions... the... Skiiiiiiiiiiiill Seeeeeeet!!
Gulmira by Ramin Djawadi starts to play in victory. Kensai slides into the ring with a bewildered and confused look on his face as, again, for the second week in a row, he did not even get into the match. The ref raises the hands of Kensai and Paladin Wells as Courtney Frost slides into the ring beside her team, holding their belts.
