Week in Review

Mike Sissons’ post of the week, “Which competitor should be banned in singles, but isn’t” sparked a hefty discussion. I don’t have any picks here, I just wanna play my 8-bit Snek! The promo of the week, Eddy Fury continues to stake his claim as the REAL world champion. Baby Hollerbach earns the photo of the week like she earned the mini LFF Heavyweight title sje was seen with! Seat of Power #6 saw Timebomb Tim finish in first AGAIN! This time with Dirty Eddie, with a finals win over Hold The Line Harry’s El Super Hombre. The Nightmare King secured himself an opportunity at the LFF Triad championship. Piloting (OG)Brian Cage to a victory in a very long and grueling triad match! This was the warm up to the largest pop up event ever held in celebration of James Booker’s Cookies Fortune victory! 36 players, came down to The Cheetah(Man From IT) getting the victory over Chris Pate(Hallow King) in a sticks, stairs, and chairs match!

Saturday found itself hosting a marathon of a pop up apparently. Top cut came out of a Liger’s den to find themselves in a cemetery, and that lead them to a sketchy backyard wrestling ring. Fauxtista kept the Man from IT rolling! Timebomb Tim( One Above All Antony Gangone) faced him in the finals, but once the ropes broke, it was the Man from IT who knew how to troubleshoot his way to victory! Sunday’s event was a task, from personal experience. I had to play against both Man from IT’s that were victorious this weekend. As well as The Nightmare King’s Brian Cage! I got through all of that, but fell short against the Bombada(Danny Limelight) in the finals. The Horse buried my Baanomenal one alive in Ravensblood Cemetery to win the event!

There was a cosmic storm over at the Proving Grounds this week. The Cannoli(SRG Boss New) survived the space turbulence! While Practisite(Frequent Flyer), Eddy Fury(AJ Styles), and the Bombada(Danny Limelight) rounded out your top 4. Rowdy Ron went 4-0 in the dojo to get the win over Tairu, the Shogun in Faction Battles! He now has a spot in the number one contender tournament for the LFF United States title.

Looking Forward

Brett the metal head and Wrench Monkey made an appearance on to talk about the process of submitting their upcoming alternate art rendition of cat scratch! They also discussed upcoming alternate art for Strike a pose, Snap a selfie. Using a photo that could’ve easily been used for Rabbit of of a Hat if you ask me.

ACCW is hosting a Create A Card event on January 30th! There will also be a match card happening, but the CAC portion has rules to even the playing field a bit for newer players. It will be played pure, but will allow 2 skill cards to be used in deck construction. Any finish that is unstoppable, has added text that if it’s stopped you lose by pin fall! Entrants will receive a foil card and a random Halloween alt art card with sign up! El Super Hombre and Snake Pitt, are booked. However, their new versions are playable!

Highlander Games’ HCW promotion will be hosting Rumble at the Rumble on January 29th. Tickets for that event will go on sale Friday! Masks required, there will be an 11am start time, as well as a Grand Battle! More information on this event will be released in the coming days. The SRG B-O Double S took a moment to discuss the Family faction pack, which includes a lot of 4 player tag goods, as well as the lariat line! Steel cage 1 singles will be available for sale soon! Great time to get a hold of the stops if you don’t already have them. Images from the Cosmic crusader faction pack have been shown and the art looks great! They feature the Cosmic Crusaders vs Marauders of the Multiverse in some epic clashes!

GM’S Cabin

GM Calace disapproves of Young, Dumb, and or Broke individuals being LFF Tag Team champions. He also announced that the Cannoli is the number one contender for Kirk Polka’s LFF Heavyweight Title!! GM Foxworthy declares Alec V the first opponent to the Grump’s LFF Underworld title! The winner plays press 1P! the third individual in line will be determined by an invitational tournament. GM Calace will select one person at captain con. The other participants include Lucky Cat Neko, Rowdy Ron, Chibi, Cherie Von Danish, Micah, Candy Mam, and the Mad Custodian.

Round 2 of CCC voting IS LIVE!!! Make sure you vote for your favorite competitor! Keep an eye out in the Super Show discussion group for their promos and content!! Then to close the show, Hold the Line Harry(Transatlantic Express) defended his LFF Tornado title against Lawman Nick(Law and Paw Connection)! It went to crowd meter 3 and took a little over an hour at that!!

First talk of the year and it’s a good one!

Week In Review

Before we begin, I was asked for more details on the bullying of HCW’s co-General Manager. On the evening in question, the current LFF Tri-State champion was leading a raid from Rhode Island into our facility. Previously, Brian and myself, had both entered the previous Thursday night fight as Kenzie Paige. He was showcasing the very strong Champion of Kickstarter combo. I went a different route, as I do not own champion of Kickstarter. So I had other reasons to run Kenzie, if you know me, then you already know. Before bell time at HCW, I already had my deck out ready to go, as our other GM began taking roll call. Mr. Schmidt declared Kenzie, at which point, the Jogger of the year shut down that claim! As my deck was already presented, he said it was I that would be playing Kenzie Paige! I ended up winning the event, earning a spot against my tag team partner for the store title! In an abuse of power, Brian said he would force me to defend in a gauntlet If I had won the title! I failed in my attempt, but I’m almost positive my co-GM had something to do with it! This story is not over Wait4It McMahon!

Onto the recap! Jeremy Brooks was seen with the one and only Honky Tonk man!! Longest reigning Intercontinental Champion in the flesh! The Shogun demands the promo of the week with a string of promos trying to get to Eddy Fury. Even looking to the SRG Boss for answers! When will the Shogun face the real world champion?! GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS! Dizzy took over for the first Sunday stories of 2022. Asking the LFF what we hoped to accomplish this year. I gotta get the 8 Bit title in the game! Well, I’d have to win one and bring it into the digital realm first probably. Aside from that, I want to keep making top cuts! I gotta get past my usual finishes, just looking to get more games against the best of the best.

The LAST seat of power in 2021 definitely had me invested. My joka Time Bomb Tim gets the win! Finally salsa danced with Danny Limelight all the way! I told y’all! Making his way BACK to a Thursday night finals was Rowdy Ronnie Rombs piloting Kenny Omega. He’s a really bad guy for a reason, he’s just been consistently committing acts of unkindness on Thursdays. Birbs and angry faces in the chat for Triple R! We had TWO events on New Year’s Day. Alec V(Jay White) sets the tone for 2022 with a win in the 6 Stop event. Becoming the #1 contender for Bobby O’s Deep 6 title! The second event of the day was under normal construction rules. There were 5 undefeated players! In the finals, Eddy Fury defeated Kirk Polka in a dark match. The LFF Championship feud played out in tournament form. Is Eddy Fury REALLY the real world champion??

The year’s first Proving Ground was won by Timebomb Tim(Captain CJ Sparra), taking the finals over Ken Foushee(Public Enemy #1). Our Corrugated Cardboard Villain had a rough time in the dojo. Taking a big loss to Bobby O representing Girthquake. Paradise may be out of the United States title #1 contender tournament via faction battles, but I’m sure they’ll bounce back! Candyman Dan and the Norseman retain their LFF Tri-State tag team titles. James Booker wins the cookie’s fortune! The Friend, Kane is your new intergalactic champion! While The Grump defeats the Brain for the LFF Underworld title!

CCC updates! J.A.C wins the first round! Peppy Pepper, Timebomb Time, Plant Based Bruiser, and the Master Strategist will be facing off in the next round. Photos and backstories should be up today, voting starts next week!

Looking Forward

Cards, physical comics, and spotlight prints from the 2021 Kickstarter are now available in limited quantities! The Time Warp Kickstarter will be coming soon, so keep an eye out for details on that. Community full art alt art deck spots were available for a short time. I believe at the time of this writing there may be spots for skill cards still available. New FOILS have been revealed for the first wave of 2022 payoff packs and mystery boxes!

Week In Review

Big Poppa Twist takes the photo of the week, HOLLA IF YA HELIUM! The big, bad, balloon daddy edits himself into the spotlight this week. The resident wonderland native, Cheshire used the post of the week to request a viewing of custom playmats through the looking glass. Almost time to get an upgrade myself!! The great castle heist mystery has seemingly been solved in the promo of the week! It turns out Eddy Fury was behind the whole thing according to the Red, White, and Grumpy LFF US champion. There was footage of one Mr. Fury throwing the former US Title into a river! The Grump reveals a NEW title, and it seems he is on a collision course with the longest reigning #1 contender in LFF history, Eddy Fury!

Thursday Night Fights is where we start. The current Deep Six Champion, Ken Foushee(Hallow King) still showing out with the LFF’s king of Halloween, and getting the win this week! Rin Risiname(Kenny Omega) is still getting it done with a 2nd place finish, while Alec V(Jacob Fatu) finishes in 3rd place! The Proving Ground peeked through the looking glass this week courtesy of Cheshire! Greg Shockley(Gia De Los Muertos) came out on top! Jeff McPeak(Immortal Warrior) was our runner up, with Cheshire(Dr. Jake Hill), and Evan Harris(Bak Hurten) closing out your top 4!

The Poland Prince Memorial also went down this past week. Chris Pate(Xroyce) won the event over Jeff Fox(Danhausen) in the finals! The Big Guy(Poland’s Prince) and Jeff McPeak(Pretty Boy Snow) were the top 4 in this event. Out of Oklahoma Stampede Wrestling, Tairu the Shogun(Sammi the Draw Callihan) retains the OSW title with a victory over Cheshire(The Mimic). During their weekly event, Micah(El Phantasmo) went 4-0!

Meanwhile, in the Cookies Fortune… Hold The Line Harry(himself) has secured a top 4 position. Andrew Trebbing also remains in the running with his SRG Boss build!!

Looking Forward

Armour Con is this weekend and the SRG team is looking to try some new things! For starters, upon registering for the convention, you will see an option to purchase the SRG Pass. This is structured so that a pass holder can participate in all events, even if they do not have their own cards! Meaning you’ll be provided with payoff packs, and single player decks, if required for an event. If you do buy the pass you can still play with your own cards. The Schedule is as follows!

There may also be a Tag Team event held on Sunday, as well as a #1 contender’s event for the LFF Trios title over the weekend. IkuZo will be legal for all Armour Con events. We won’t be seeing a massive card release this weekend. Promos will be of the knockdown series if they’re delivered in time for the event. Iku Zo product and Ring of Fire decks should be in stock for the convention, however, that also depends on if they’re shipped in time. The Halloween alt art deck is looking like a Christmas release!

In the big match department, we will soon see Google Docs Dan face off against Press 1P for the Legendary Realms Title!! CHRONUS is revealed as the next Cosmic Crusader! His grapple finish is one of my favorite things. So keep an eye out for those spoilers this week!! We gotta get Pluto in the game. It was a planet back in my day. Currently there is a lot on hand for the SRG team, so all new cards/effects are currently on hold. Con season may be wrapping up, but still other projects are in the works.

The top cut stipulations for Highlander’s Fall Brawl have been announced! Top 8 will be Steel Cage, top 4 will be Ring of Fire, and The finals will be Main Event!

Moving forward on the dojo, if you’re not in the zoom room, you cannot participate under any circumstances. If you have entered the queue and cannot play, please message Brian immediately. There is a new dojo wheel, including a wild card stipulation! The wild card stipulation allows you to select any other stipulation on the wheel. The dojo team is trying their best to get more matches done in the dojo. which means more opportunities for others to play, and more card sales!

Week In Review

Practisite shoots on overseas deliveries this week on the Promo of the week. Long story short, when sending out of the country, make sure you sleeve your cards! Pat the Thinker makes an appearance as the photo of the week. We also get a peek at him in issue 3 of the upcoming Supershow the game comic! The post of the week is from one of MY picks for Tri-State General Manager, Jeff Fox! Throwing his red hat into the ring, I can’t wait for that conference to go down.

Over at Armour Con, The SRG B-O Double S himself got the win in the new player event over an undefeated Dread Pirate in the finals! The two contenders for Shane Strickland’s LFF Triad Title were determined in a payoff pack draft. Those two contenders are Eto Ortiz(The Cyclone), and Conarr(The Freak)! Eto was also seen taking the win in the Tri-State title event! As he is not a resident of the affected states, he has deferred his #1 contendership to Lucky Cat Neko! Whom placed second in that event.

There were whips and chains on deck at the Proving Grounds! Yung Allergy(Lorenzo Manicotti) showed up and survived the finals over Andrew Mecchi(Rainbow Girl). While Chris Pate(Mike Verna) and Practisite(Mars) closed out your top 4! The Dread Pirate invaded Thursday Night Fights that saw a returning Press 1P(Scarlett Graves) come out victorious. Matt Barone(Overdog) finished 2nd, and Alec V(Johnny Gargano) placed 3rd!

Things got a little out of hand in the Dojo, as the SRG team finished 2-6 on the night!

The Origins aftermath edition

Week In Review

Mighty Marcel, THE 24/7 champion showed up at origins and snaps a pic along side the Italian Bombada! Great choice for photo of the week. Timebomb Tim returns from Origins to find the Oracle… wearing a Rustbelt shirt?! This promo of the week left us with more questions than answers. The post of the week was a farewell message from none other than the Void. Hopefully it’s more see ya later. One of my favorite gimmicks when I joined the community not too long ago. Maybe in the future the evil will return to face a newly summoned raven!

Check out https://www.twitch.tv/chibibt at 8pm EST tonight to catch this week’s Thursday Night Fights! Last week Vicious Vic Vandal(Rising Sun) walked away with the win! Andrew Mecchi(Mighty Marcel), Aaron Sixtyfour(Mr. Rey), and Jokerfish(Khloe Mai) closed out your top 4. The Proving Grounds had King Hyena as the Special Referee for the evening, which meant there was an additional stipulation on the match. When you add to your Turn Roll, your Turn Roll is +1! Chibi(Johnny Gargano), and Andrew Mecchi(Baby Brick) finished 3rd and 4th respectively. In the finals, Ken Foushee(Night Terror) got the victory over The Cannoli(Brett the Metalhead)! King Hyena called a clean match from what I hear.

Real Quick Real Quick

Online league season 8 signups start Monday October 11th!! They will be done through the SRG discord server. Signups will be live for a week! The divisions, and their General Managers will be Tornado Tag(Bob the Brain Dunn), Heavyweight(Italian Bombada), Trios(Brian Wait4It Schmidt), and Tag Team(Jeff Foxworthy). There will be 8 weeks of normal play, and 4 weeks of tag team.

ORIGINS!!

There are a lot of match results and I hope I didn’t miss any. However, if you have time, please click the link and listen to the Boss and crew talk about the convention. I may have a way with words, but I can’t do it the justice it deserves. Hoping I can get there next year! In one of the biggest matches of the weekend, KIRK POLKA gets the victory over Press 1P in a Lumberjack match for the LFF Heavyweight Championship!! You have to acknowledge John P as a dominant champion, and I’m sure he’ll have gold again soon enough. GG’s to Kirk Polka for dethroning him to become your NEW Baanomenal champion!!

Michigan’s Most Dangerous Alliance retain their LFF Tag Team titles by disqualification. When Under the Bridge gets their re-match, I don’t think the result will be the same! My guy Brian Wait4It Schmidt took home the LFF Trios title! In a match you couldn’t write any better, taking on one of his best friends, for the title he’s chased for a long time. It lead to an emotional win with his family watching live on stream! Gratz joka!! The Tornado Tag event is currently on hold. As the venue closing earlier than the SRG team would’ve liked really hindered it’s progress. Bob “The Brain” Dunn wins the Underworld Title, while Wrench Monkey retained the LFF Tri-State Title! Sean Loeb Got it done and won the Trios event on Thursday, and he’s currently in the FINALS of the Tornado event!!!

EDDY FURY. He told y’all he was going to defend his title all weekend! After defending for THREE days in a row, he lost the LFF Hardcore title to General Lee Wong! Whom cashed in his master of ceremonies, and made day 4’s TLC match a triad match! Michigan’s Most Dangerous Alliance won the Tag Team event, while Alec V won the Underworld Event!! Practisite got the big win as the Origins World Champion event! Funtime Bob is the NEW Intergalactic champion, after overcoming The Void! Timebomb Tim had a string of defenses, in an attempt to break The B-O-Double s’ record, but fell victim to the Void over the weekend. “The Brain” becomes the #1 contender for the LFF Hardcore title in a payoff pack draft! Kirk Polka(Fortress) was the victor in the XCW Memorial Event where he taunted his way to victory!

Looking Forward

James Booker was on hand to announce Marktoberfest 3!! All details are to come, it’s looking like it’ll be held in a hotel with room blocks available, with the main event being a Create A Competitor tournament on Saturday, November 6th! As a long time FGC member and competitor, those hotel blocks and conference rooms lead to some great times. I highly endorse going if you can! In the mean time, don’t forget Highlander’s Fall Brawl on October 23rd! I’ll be there, and if you have a title with no opponent… I’m available :).

Here’s to hoping you had a great holiday with friends and family!

Week In Review

This week we open up with ALEC V dropping a promo! He demands answers from the GM in regards to his status as #1 contender for the LFF Underworld title after winning the underworld event at Origins. You ever find yourself discovering your Supershow dice in strange locations? Matt Nelan shows us his hidden car stash and they’re rumored to only roll 8 or better. in this week’s post, our own Corrugated Cardboard Villain asks the community if they got into the game due to the wrestling theme, or the game play. Personally, I came for the steel chairs, but if I could summon zombies instead, I’d be interested!

The SRG B-O Double S may have won his own Boss-rate beatdown, but there’s more to this event. If you ran cards with the boss and chop keywords, you got additional prizing due to the beatdown challenge. This event was the first to see the NEW kendo stick on a pole stipulation, more on that later. Timebomb Tim was tearing it up with Danny Limelight again. This time he got stopped by Danny G, with Hold the Line Harry seeming to be the only other player to defuse Tim’s LimeBomb.

Nick Baxter(Geoff Bravo) Proved himself this week under a stipulation I need added to most of my matches. “Spite – When your Turn roll is at least 3 less than your opponents, your oppenent is considered to have an additional strike grapple and submission in play for your card effects.” Thursday had dramatic irony going on, with both 1st and last place playing El Super Suns in a tornado tag event. Alec V won the event in a rare appearance with a non-indy competitor. While Harry couldn’t hold the line, the LFF Tornado champion went 0-5 this event ahead of his first title defense.

Meanwhile, in other territories… Kyle Kreiger(The Man from IT) gets a pure play win over in AU Blue Bell. MASTER Micah(Alex Hammerstone) making noise in Stampede Wrestling winning with a 4-1 record. Legendary Realms put on a show with Shreiking Banshee(Chamomile T) busting on the scene with a win over Press 1P! He would lose to Female Demonica(Lily Mai) in the finals. The Dojo was host to the Montreal Dream Job this week jokas. The bell was called for before The Nightmare King was able to roll for break out. Chris Pate did roll an 11! However, Nightmare King was playing El Super Hombre, and did have a chance to kick out! He will be getting a rematch and I’m looking forward to the outcome!

Looking Forward

The Kendo Stick on a Pole stipulation will be part of an upcoming tournament style box set designed for a 6 people. Ring step, and steel chair stipulations will also be featured along side a brand new key word card. The kendo stick version shown has the most keywords ever put on a card and is the first to have over 5! The upcoming Time Warp box set is currently going through the creative process and it’s been confirmed that we’re getting a new stop line!

The Brain comes through to discuss some rules relating to Copy Kat. He’s the creator after all! Her gimmick would activate before any stacked effects you may have in play. Against AJ Styles, there would be a roll off at game start to see which competitor’s effect goes off first. The line of anti-generic finish stops(Universal Dropkick, Sweeping Slam, and Umbrella Hold) are currently ruled to be played as printed originally. “Stop any printed Finish Grapple/Strike/Submission. If the stopped card did not have a competitor logo or skill requirement, this card is also a Finish.”

GM’s Corner

The Rising Stars groups will cut to top 16. 3-0’s and top seeds in groups will get a bye into top 16. Players can change their deck each round after group stage, with the first stipulation to be announced in the future. Some title match announcements, as there is a PPV card upcoming. However, some will take place live where possible. Others may hopefully happen after episodes of Talk of the Universe!

This episode of Talk of the Universe is brought to you by The Dread Pirate! On Saturday, November 6th, he will be attempting a 24 hour stream to raise money for Extra Life! Technically going to be 25 hours thanks to daylight savings. So stop by and support this weekend!!

Thursday Night Fights was won by Timebomb Tim(Danny Limelight) who’s one of many players feeling the Limelight as of late! Tim Riley(Flip Gordon) and Hold the Line Harry(Mila Mai) finished 2nd and 3rd respectively. The next night, Candy Mam held an event that was won by Chris Pate(Xroyce)! The final four for this event was The Cheetah(Danny Limelight), The Dread Pirate(Joseph Ritchie), and Kid Thunder(Kid/Man Thunder)! Dizzy held the Purge event to kick off Halloween weekend. Matt Barone(Overdog) overcame the chaos and survived the evening! Jeff Bogle(Johnny Gargano) nearly made it through, and a certain Dread Pirate(Joseph Ritchie) was taken out right as the dawn came.

The Proving Grounds had a throw down in paradise that allowed competitors to be accompanied to ringside by the person of their choosing! Justin Meyers(Numero Uno accompanied by Combat Chris) walks away the victor with the duo of the night. Looks like next week Schmidt has declared a return to Tornados and it sounds like we’ll be seeing the newest stipulation, “Sticks, Stairs, and Chairs!” in action!! Over in the Dojo, Ali takes down the Horse, and we got a show from the Mad Custodian with Bak Hurten!

Looking Forward

Marktoberfest is this weekend! Doors open at 8am on Saturday, and the Vanilla Gorilla has been freed for use in the CAC event! You will be able to see Bob “The Brain” Dunn defend his LFF Underworld Title against James Booker. As well as The Trash Man defending the Mid-West Coast Title against 4 Leaf Flynn! We’re going to have another pirate invasion on Thursday Night Fights tonight. With pods determining the top cut, using the following stipulations: NY rules in top 16, top 8 ring of fire + psycho circus, top 4 dark match + cage match, finals Ladder + Beast Unchained! WINTER WARZ RUMBLE, the live show brought to you by SRG and New South Wrestling will be happening December 11th!! All the details for that are in the link, tickets can be bought right now on supershowthegame.com.

This year’s CCC entrants have been decided. 27 contenders will be fighting for a spot in the LFF! “The Face” Marc Silvia has an alternate art card in the works. I already like this new finish, Hard times breed better men, which is a grapple finish with spotlight! We are also getting a flip competitor named copycat! It sounded like we might be seeing both of these listed for Marktoberfest weekend, so keep an eye out!

To close the show, James Booker faced Andrew Trebbing in a 2 out of 3 falls match to determine the final player in the cookie’s fortune triad match. In game 2, Bookermania ran wild inside of a steel cage! He will now face Yazmean and Practisite to see whom will earn the cookie’s fortune!!

RIP Mr. Klown

Week In Review

The Nelans enter the multiverse ahead of the LFF world title match against Kirk Polka. All 75 of them were found playing rock, paper, scissors to see who would play in the title match. The Grump gets the promo of the week with his reenactment of “The Harder They Fall.” There could also be a snake in his boot, I’m not too sure, but he’s lookin for the next LFF Underworld Title opportunity! The post of the week is from GM Calace himself! He’s looking to donate $10 to #FillTheVan on behalf of The Higher Class for every one that comments on THIS post. In regards to “why they love and admire The Higher Class.”

The LFF Tri-State Champ took a wild boat ride as the Norseman hosted Proving Grounds this week! Wrench Monkey as seen piloting Luna Hallows(hopefully 8 bit) into first place. Nic Baxter finished second and he’s got us all wondering which finishers are in that Geoff Bravo deck. Yet another solid performance! The Cheetah ran an event on Thanksgiving, which had some Christmas vibes. As Chris Pate and The Cannoli shared first place. Down in ACCW, Robbie G took Gropar the Great and Powerful to a 5-1 victory in a sealed event with aid from a payoff pack! While Practisite(Fashion PoPo) earns a position as #1 contender for the ACCW Tornado title! In the Dojo’s ongoing Faction Battles, The Line(3-0-2) edged out the New Wheeled Order(2-2-1). Defending the dojo and giving us all good sales!

GM Calace is hoping to have a Tag Team event at some point, as well as something for Sunday. The Tri-State Champ Wrench Monkey looks ahead to his title defense against Diabolik. If he retains, he has demanded that the following Bird Cage defense sees him entering last, and the match becoming 1 fall to finish! The LFF Underworld, and the LFF Tag Team champions will all be at PAX Unplugged. So their titles will definitely be defended over the weekend!

The match card for December 19th, is currently the following:

Cookie’s Fortune
Practisite vs Yazmean vs James Booker

PAX Unplugged and Winter Warz Rumble!!

Week In Review

Young dumb, young dumb, and brooooooke! Are the new LFF Tag Team champions at PAX Unplugged, and won the pic of the week too! In the promo of the week, the Plant Based Bruiser brings up another pandemic, that I am also affected by. CWC, Competitors Without Cards, for as little as $1 a day, you can support one of these competitors. We don’t even have stats, dice rolls mean nothing. Mr. Poppintwist earns another post of the week, showing appreciation for the 24/7 title stealing the spotlight over PAX weekend! More on that later, the Nightmare King was even seen on a long streak of defenses! While we’re here, let’s not forget Dizzy’s Secret Krampus that’s been kicked off!

Eddy Fury(Himself) came out on top in week 2 of the seat of power. With Lucky Cat Neko(Rainbow Girl) coming in second, both of those characters are booked for week 3! Over in the Proving Grounds, Rowdy Ron(Mr.Snap v2) comes out on top! Next week we’re gonna see some backyard wrestling on the proving grounds! Jokerfish puts the Crime Wave over this week in the dojo! Getting the Faction Skirmish win over The Firing Squad’s Swaggy D. Next week, The Cheetah will represent the mWo, and Impact has yet to name their player.

PAX Unplugged!!

The Dangerous Alliance had quite the weekend! They defended their titles against Pat Mulligan and Prince Butters. However, they lost their titles in the debut match of Young, Dumb, and Broke! Bob The Brain defended his Underworld Title against EV Fresh, he also won the Champion of Kickstarter Bird Cage! Big Match Pete won the Heavyweight Tournament over The Cannoli in the finals. Hombre Cybernetico won a 12 player tournament on Friday, and proceeded to go undefeated in the draft event! The 24/7 title was front and center over the weekend. JVD, Practisite, and The Cannoli were the champions at the end of the days over the weekend. EV Fresh, and The Nightmare King both had the longest defense streaks of the weekend with 4 each!

Winter Warz Rumble was an amazing show! It was my first independent show in a while, I’m glad I got to be there with the community. Young Dumb and Broke’s tag team match with Pretty Empowered was insane! The Cannoli danced with Blank, our section heckled Avery Good a bit, and I won Donnie Janela’s signed gear! The rumble itself was highly entertaining, with Bombada getting the win. Belle’s debut as a ring announcer happened! I can’t wait for the next one I can get to. Mayyyyybe one day we’ll have super show matches in that ring!

Looking Forward

The Mad Custodian stopped by to discuss the upcoming stipulation for next week’s proving grounds. It’s based on backyard wrestling and it’s hilarious! Crowd meter 7, the ring breaks and both players lose. There are other levels that require skill checks to perform moves. It sounds highly entertaining. Now for some upcoming match cards:

December 18th- Oklahoma Stampede Wrestling
Master Micah(OG Snap)(c) vs Cheshire(The Mad One) Steel Cage match for the Oklahoma Stampede Heavyweight Title
The Shogun(Sammi the Draw Calihan)(d) vs Kevin Forrester(Breezus) in a Table match for the Oklahoma Stampede Underworld Title

GM’s Corner

Brian Wait4It…. Schmidt has taken over the Rising Stars Tournament. So be on the lookout for his e-mail address to send those deck lists! They’re due on 12/19 for the first round of top 16. You can change your deck between rounds moving forward, and they will be 2 out of 3 falls!

Eddy Fury will be defending his LFF United States title against the Grim Librarian next week following Talk of the Universe!! On December 20th, we can look forward to seeing The Cookie’s Fortune finale! As James Booker, Yazmean, and Practisite will face off in a triad match to determine who holds it! We will also see Kirk Polka defend the LFF World Title against “Nelan”. Whom will be decided when the match begins, so we will all find out together!

The Holiday go home show!

Week In Review

Al13n Invader shows off some freshly created membership rings this week! Looks like it’s time to challenge the B-O Double S again for a physical one to go with my card! The promo of the week is a throwback video featuring the Boss & Sage comparing bellies. If we’re going by overall surface area, it looked like the Boss had her beat by a mile at least! Mark Perre takes post of the week honors showing the New South box set some love. The competitors are great, but the 1-27’s you get are extremely solid for a starter deck!

Press 1P co-hosted last week’s Seat of Power in the return of the Press1P Invitational format. El Super Jimbre(Scarlett Graves) gets the victory over Hold the Line Harry(Sage) in a TLC finals to earn his seat in the season finale! This means that both Sage, and Scarlett Graves are booked for this week’s Seat of Power. Speaking of Press 1P, The SRG Boss has called him out! Allegedly P1 is leveraging his status as player of the era to have Legendary Realms creative give him good a push. Booking with no stipulations, has the former world champ in a streak of about 3 or 4 weeks. So the bounty board has been activated! Somebody needs to Press 2P and end the streak!

Over in ACCW the reign of Mack Attack rolls on! Defending the Deep South Title in a crowd meter 3 bout against Nic Baxter who earned the title shot earlier in the evening. Practisite defeated Brian Lee for the Hardcore title, Hunter Parkerson won the holiday draft with Amos the Ironworker, and Llama Sr. Defeated Practisite in a tornado tag match! Matthew Kurtis played the role of Krampus in the event and defeated Brian Lee fir the ACCW Heavyweight title. Which should’ve been expected for an event titled Krampus Chaos!

Bob “The Brain” Dunn piloted the chibi version of himself to a win. As the Proving Grounds went backyard wrestling! The stipulation created by the Mad Custiodian involved a crumbling ring built from parts scattered around the neighborhood. Some matches even lead to a no contest, as the ring fell apart! Vowing to stand up to the Custodian for endangering LFF competitors, the Boss looks to mop the floor with the Mad Custodian in one of his home made backyard rings! The Boss is also looking to face The Brain, who seems to have mastered surviving in the backyard.

Down in the dojo, it was the mWo(The Cheetah) vs Impact(James Booker) and their faction battle went right down the line, involving a tie breaker match that was won by Cheetah! Advancing the mWo into the United States title tournament. Next week we will see The Armada(Dread Pirate) vs an unannounced member of the higher Class. Locals straight out of the Candy Fam’s neck of the woods saw the Tri-State champ Wrench Monkey go 5-1 at their event! Candyman Dan took a beating from Candymam, and Ryon closed out their top 4.

Looking Forward

Matthew Ryan of Catalyst Wrestling stopped by to talk about their upcoming show, Ewing! He may or may not have spoiled Colby Corino joining the Super Show in the future. Plenty of BIG news on the event, namely the NWA World’s Heavyweight champion making it’s appearance in Brooklyn for the first time in 60 years for this show! Definitely worth checking out if you’ll be in the Brooklyn area on January 15th, 2022!!

The 2021 CCC is rolling on as we get a visit from Pat Mulligan! The first round is under way, the following 4 individuals have until the end of Talk of the Universe to release promos, before the voting begins! Jorgito International Cool, J.A.C, Bon Appetit, and the Memes Dealer! There’s 28 characters participating this year. It’s highly advised that all participants have fun and create content for their characters. Even if you aren’t selected to win the event, you never know how far your efforts will get you! If being in front of a camera isn’t something you’re comfortable with, feel free to reach out to Pat for some assistance.

Rumble at the Rumble is going down January 29th, 2022! At my store, the home of the Perfect Attendance Champ, Highlander Games! Not only are we going to have a Create A Character event, there’s also gonna be a Grand Battle! Make sure you come by if you can make it, because a good time will definitely be had! Andrew Trebing is also on the Boss’ call out list this week for his modified tag team match rules. The Delinquint Duo stands with our interim GM, and the Department of Defense is willing to take on the B-O Double S under these modified rules if the jogger of the year insists!

To close out the show, some upcoming matches were announced, the winner of Eddy Fury(c) vs The Grim Librarian will be facing Big Match Pete, or the faction battles winner for the United States Title. JVD will face The Nightmare King, and Dan McGinn in a triad match. The winner will face Shane Strickland(c) and Stew Rainey for the Triad Championship! There was a tease of the Kickstarter exclusive comic book cover! The books are in hand and being prepared to be shipped, as more pieces are still being shipped to Grandmachine Studios. The Halloween deck is also on it’s way, so we’re looking at getting those before the end of December. Unless news breaks during the time of this writing and they’re shipped out before Christmas. The yearly awards ceremony is stil on par for Captain Con! We also got a look and breakdown of Loudmouth Leo’s Steve Slambrose deck that’s been taking names as of late!

Last Talk of the Year Jokas. Get up in here!

Week In Review

Before we leave the holidays behind, we gotta talk about Bombada’s playmat from Dizzy’s Secret Krampus! The art on that is GREAT! It was wrapped and hidden behind the tree, but we got it for photo of the week. Wrench Monkey and The Norseman return to our promo spotlight as they document their travels. Their beep, boop machine had them take a left turn around Albuquerque, but they did in fact make it to Highlander Games! Ron Hough, the resident costume creator of the LFF won the post of the week asking which is the best entrance card in the game. I’m gonna throw in Fighting Champion’s Spirit, End of an era. Which some may have seen in my hurricane deck. It’s a solid tech for him, however, the abundance of Champion of Kickstarter makes it live when the competition is fierce!

My joka Rowdy Ronnie Rombs took The top seat of power this week with Yeva Lionheart! Cheshire finishes second with Everybuddy as we see some unfamiliar faces take the top spots! Both deck lists were featured and discussed on this weeks Talk of the Universe! Big Bad Bobby D piloted his alter ego in surviving the Proving Ground’s final countdown! I believe this win, in the last Proving Ground of 2021 has earned him the most points of the year. EV Fresh is your NEW DWA World Champion out of AU Blue Bell! Piloting King Pink to a finals victory over Shady Jeff who was undefeated in the event with Zack Sabre! Juan Besa gets Dirty Jerz the win in the Dojo on this week’s Faction Battles over the Dread Pirate’s Armada. Next week WE’ll be seeing Bobby O and possible Loudmouth Leo?!

Results from Oklahoma Stampede’s Year End Event!
Master Micah(OG Snap) defended the Oklahoma Stampede Heavyweight Title against Cheshire(The Mad One) in a Steel Cage match.
The Shogun(Sammi the Draw Calihan)was defeated by Kevin Forrester(Breezus) in a Table match for the Oklahoma Stampede Underworld Title!
In a Triad Match, Avery Welden was victorious against Jennifer Bowen, and Fox Assassin.
Lawman Nick faced Richard Forrester in a tornado tag match, where Richard moved on to become the #1 contender for the Tornado Title.
Scott Prime got the victory against Whiskey Guy!

The Tri-State Champion, Wrench Monkey lead Brett the Metal Head and the Norseman on a raid into Highlander Games and HCW! The Rhode Island trio declared their takeover by signing up for the #1 contender tournament for the HCW World title. With the winner set to play Thebes, the current #1 contender. There were many battles had on this evening, and HCW defended the store! Our invaders did not go silently, and gave us some great games throughout the night. I can’t wait until the next time we all get together! In the end, it was myself vs the Jogger of the year to see whom would become next in line. The current Underworld champion, put me over, as there could only be one! So in a truly fight forever rivalry, I will face Thebes for the HCW Heavyweight Title. With the added stipulation from GM Schmidt McMahon, that if I win, I’ll have to defend in an HCW gauntlet!

News on the CCC! Voting has started and will end on Friday night(12/31) at 10pm EST. Cast your votes here! Be on the look out for content from those competitors in the Facebook group!

Looking Forward

There will be an event on New Year’s Day! So keep an eye out for details on that pop up! The last seat of power for the year will feature the sticks, stairs, and chairs stipulation, so keep that in mind when you’re preparing for tonight! The Rumble at the Rumble event at Highlander Games will feature a CAC and a Grand Battle on January 29th. Hold the Line Harry is working on a possible event around the same time for those in the Deep South. Mid-February is around the time we will recieve more details on the warped Kickstarter! The Cosmic Crusader faction pack, among other things have been discussed in regards to that thus far. Captain con in February will be live in person and streaming for the SRG annual award show! The Snake Pitt and Super Hombre competitors featured in the Kickstarter releases have the same finishers as their current variations. Snake Pitt’s new horizontal version was actually a play test file, both new versions are legal for play. There will be very limited stock on Kickstarter products in the future, for those that weren’t able to back it. So keep an eye out!

Then to close the show, Eddy Fury defends the LFF United States title against Ken Foushee in a crowd meter 4 battle! The Grim Librarian was unable to keep Eddy’s voice down, but it was definitely a great match to see!

With the SRG team prepping for PAX Unplugged this weekend, Chibi, Practisite, and Fox take over!

Week In Review

Startin off the week with Ray asking the LFF if we had any recent accomplishments! I’d have to add keeping these articles running, despite life’s attempts at getting in the way. The Nelan’s are still trying to decide which will face Kirk Polka for the LFF World Championship. They have currently played 7,629 games of rock paper scissors. All of which have resulted in a four way tie. Several photos of the week this week! #FillTheVan drive rolls on, with a drop off to Create A Pro Wrestling! They are hosting a charity autograph signing today! Brett the Metal Head showed off some fresh ink of the Void! GM Calace has been seen recreating his favorite Fast and Furious moment beside Kid Thunder.

Hold the Line Harry(Mila Mai) wins week 1 of Chibi’s Seat of Power, going over Matt Nelan(Press 1P) in the finals. Time Bomb Tim still out here in top 3 on Danny Limelight! Over in the Proving Grounds, the night’s stipulation was a custom created by Nic Baxter called the “Scales of Equity”. Which read, your turn rolls are -1 for each consecutive turn roll you won (bumps reset the negative) and I’m requesting we get that on a stipulation card! The Mad One returned to online play as himself and proved that his snap was more powerful than equity however. He went over Practisite(Yamato Hama) in the finals once he couldn’t hit punch fast enough for hundred hand slap. The Whiskey Guy(LED) went 5-0 in Oklahoma Stampede Wrestling’s latest local event! They’ve got a big show planned for December 18th.

The Dojo’s Faction Battles continue with Dizzy(The Freak Show) having a winning record over Candy Ma’am(The Rack Pack) this week. Meanwhile, the LFF Tri-State Tag Team Titles were defended by The Norseman and Candyman Dan. They defeated The Horse and The Phoenix at crowd meter 6!!

Looking Forward

Mila Mai and Press 1P are booked for tonight’s Seat of Power! In other News, PAX Unplugged is this weekend! If you’ve already received your badge in the mail, you can go to paxxp.com to activate your badge. You can use your vaccination card, of the CLEAR app to provide proof of vaccination for the convention. As of right now, Friday is the only day where there is an SRG play event confirmed. I believe that will be in the SRG area at 5pm, check in with the booth on site to confirm. Don’t forget your tickets for Winter Warz Rumble! They’re still available at the time of this writing! I’ll be making the trip to see what the New South is about, so I hope to catch ya there! There’s also SIX days left to sign up for Dizzy’s secret Krampus!

To close out this week, make sure if you’re attending PAX or any event for that matter, to keep an eye out for each other. Some areas may need for everyone to stay more vigilant than others. We are a community first and foremost. It would serve all of our best interests to care for each other when we can. Especially for any food runs! Don’t wander off alone if possible, find a friend, or make one. Let’s get everybody home safe so we can be together at the next event!

The recap returns with GM Calace missing! Did someone say 8-bit box set? Probably not a coincidence.

Week In Review

Gm Calace was last seen during the Higher Class faction wars tryouts. Where a poor display of stick ball may have left him benched for this week’s Talk of the Universe. Hold the Line Harry was found with the Deep South Title overseas! He traveled to his home field to recreate a real life photo of his competitor card art! Dave Bruno gave us a very thoughtful scenario. I don’t have a rival per se, but The B-O Double S keeps taking me out in tournaments! So I guess I’d have to say his Mars kidnaps me, and Joe Pape plays the Magnificent Mr. Rey so I might be ok.

Kicking the events off with last Thursday’s weekly, Danny Thunder Takes the win piloting a deck featuring none other than SRG’s own Boss… and nothing but the boss. Doug Saunders was 2nd with MLW’s Alex Hammerstone, Michael Kerr was 3rd as Kota Ibushi, and Gary Schneider was 4th as Mrs. Bum! The Boss’ Friday Night Beatdown had Blacklight activated, custom art cards on the line! Literally a one of a kind set! We saw Ken Foushee(El Super Hombre) defeat Chris Pate(Big Bad Bobby D) in a ladder match for the finals! A flurry of 2 finishers, gave us a crowd meter 2 victory!

Discussion began of Ken Foushee, Bob “The Brain” Dunn, and Hold the Line Harry, being mentioned by Press 1 P as potential contenders for the title! We’ll have to wait and see what happens there when GM Calace returns. Maybe he’s fallen into a void?

On Sunday there was the Wait for it… pop up. Where J-train defeated the Cannoli in a tables match that got all the way to crowd meter 4! There was also a trios event where Chugganomics(First Triumvirate)got the win over Fireball(Mai Girls) in the finals. The proving ground was all Liger’s Den action! Doug Saunders(The Devil’s Advocate) proved himself this week with a victory! Eto Ortiz(The Mad One) was 2nd, Steven Owen(Johnny Supershow) was 3rd, and the luckiest of cats, Neko(Katy Kitty) finished 4th! On the Dojo The Nightmare King got a big win over The Boss at Crowd Meter 4! Meanwhile, Hank the Tank was busy becoming the NEW LFF Juniors champion!

Finally, right before Talk of the Universe, The Grump was set up for his weekly defense of the Tornado Tag Title. He defeated The Brain in a match where stops seemed to be missing in action. Denying the brain some LFF history in his attempt to become a 3 time tornado champion with 3 different competitors!

Looking Forward

Make sure to tune in to the SRG Universe twitch channel at 11am EST for a new show, Expanding the Universe! You can see behind the scenes work on upcoming cards and other projects. If you ever wanted to know the process behind how cards are created this is the stream for you! Mack Attack is getting a brand new alternate art representing her dominance as a Junior’s Champion, as well as an LFF Tag Team Champion! Yaz Mean is ALSO getting an alternate art in light of the Euro Cup! Big news coming in the form of a new 8-bit art BOX SET, and yes, you are welcome to gift your favorite Talk of the Universe reporter one :P. I won’t say I inspired it, but maybe if everyone else says that, it might be true one day.

When we do get a hold of GM Calace, he will be naming the next contender for the Tornado Title next week! Tonight’s(7/15/21) Thursday Night tournament will consist of 8 person pods, swiss style. The top 16 will be played under NY Rules, the top 8 will be Beast Unchained, top 4 will be Buddy Building, and the finals will be Ring of Fire. Other upcoming events include:
Alternate Universes Blue Bell SRG Event SATURDAY, JULY 31, 2021 AT 2 PM EDT
Eternal Con unofficial pre-show FRIDAY, AUGUST 6, 2021 AT 3 PM EDT

Pixel Palace Pandemonium 2 SATURDAY, AUGUST 14, 2021 AT 12 PM EDT
Super Show: August Rush SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 2021 AT 4 PM EDT

Also, make sure you get your tickets to GenCon(SEPTEMBER 16-19) before they’re gone!

In CCC news, we still have Lil G vs The Memes Dealer, and in the main event The Dweeb vs Vicious Vic Vandal.  The Boss is assembling a team of guest judges to go along with the fan vote to get us a winner. Trying to have that done within the next two weeks of not as soon as next week. “Get that outta here” and “the fix is in” as possible card prizes!

Boss’ Corner

Brian makes us wait until he whips out his master of ceremonies and cashes it in! He is the #1 contender for the trios title against the Italian Bombada! New Wool Order vs The Good, The Bad, and The Whiskey. With a stipulation to be named by the Boss!

To wrap up the show, we had 2 membership ring challenges:
First up was yours truly(Jay White), vs the Boss(Davey Richards) in a 2 out of 3 falls match. I went down kicking out in game one hitting crowd meter 3. The Switch Blade fell victim to a Lycanthropy to put the Boss up 1-0. Game 2 Saw a Blade Runner come out at crowd meter 0 with a surprise early victory over the Boss bringing us to 1-1. Final round was New York rules. A quick Wolf’s Clutch at an 8 was enough to close it out give the boss the WIN. Kirk Polka(Luna Hallows) opted to be the membership challenge ring defender in the second game of the evening. It was Practisite(Robbie g) selected to play him on ToTU. Practisite wins with a 9 roll on Veni Vidi Vici at cm 1 of a very heated match!
