This could be intresting

when did we go all ROH over here??

[Chesbro]

There are some members over there that I used to fed with some time ago and they are pretty talented. When I asked Corey if he would link us, in an effort to try and restart the Fed Family area, he said he would do so with these terms and I agreed that it would be mutually beneficial.

sounds cool.....I'll be nice as possible. I mean it

Hello TWD,

I'm dropping this reminder that the UWA: FOUR is to take place on Sunday, originating from Ford Field in Detroit. The marquee match up is The Legendary Low versus "The Sensational One" Brian Stevens in the finals of the Champions Cup tournament with one million dollars and the UWA Heavyweight championship going to the winner. Also as a relevant note, The Wizard of Ahhhhs takes on Saber in a match that introduced The Wrestling Domain to the UWA world.

Stop by, read some roleplays and take a look at the results when they are posted. If you enjoy what you see, get in touch with Chesbro and he'll get you hooked up with the UWA staff. UWA bolsters some of the best RPers around from four separate federations. Those without a competitive spirit need not apply.

Keep up the good work. TWD is a really good fed and I enjoy trolling it, which is rare.

Peace.

[Chesbro]

On a side note, for perspective handlers... I would highly recommend that you listen to what he's saying when he's talking about competitive spirit. These guys rp and rp hard. There might be a rp'ing limit over there, but they'll kick them out like machines if they need to.

[SABER]

Ok, well since UWA 4 has not been posted yet, and I am really proud of this first attempt, I will post the Saber vs Wizard of Ahhhhs match. If you can pay attention for long enough, I hope you enjoy it.

"Sirius" by the Alan Parson's Project plays and the crowd gives a small cheer. The Wizard of Ahhhhs emerges from the backstage area. The Wizard is dressed in yellow wrestling trunks, covered over with a big, shiny, pink robe. His eyes are adorned with his larger than acceptable sunglasses on. The Wizard starts his stride down the rampway, but stops halfway down. He raises up a finger to the crowd, telling them to wait a minute. He reaches inside his pink robe and pulls out a very small, TWD flag and waves it on his way to the ring, happily. Walking up the ring steps, the Wizard enters the ring and walks over to the ropes, still waving the flag. He grabs his huge sunglasses and tosses them out into the crowd to a little cheer. He looks at the flag and tosses that into the first row as well.

Paul Ryan: As we watch the Wizard of Ahhhhs coming to the ring for this TWD Make or Break match, I can't help but think about his appearance at UWA Showcase. Now watching his entrance, I just have one thing to say... this is a pretty strange guy.

Matt Green: Absolutely, Paul. He seems off a little bit. Kind of marching to the beat of his own drummer, but I'm not even sure if that drummer has a cadence in mind. He's just making noise, similar to that of a child who is given his first drum set for a gift. Just sitting there, banging away.

The lights go dark for a few minutes. A blue light illuminates the arena as "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack begins to play. Blue and white smoke begin to rise from the entrance way as Saber walks out, making his first appearance to the UWA audience. Wearing his usually long, black tights with the blue and red tribal markings. A pair of black shades covers his eyes and he surveys the sold out crowd. The crowd gives a warm, but solemn reaction as Saber begins to make his way down the ring. At a sturdy pace, Saber slaps a few of the hands as he moves closer to the squared circle. As he jumps up to the ring apron, Saber quickly looks at the fans in attendance. He nods in approval and leaps over the top rope. The young TWD superstar power walks towards the far left turnbuckle, climbs up on the ropes and raises his arms straight up with his hand closed. He poses for a few moments to allow the crowd to get their photos. Dropping down to the mat, Saber hands his shades to the nearest official on the outside. He begins doing some stretches as he waits for the opening bell.

Paul Ryan: Now this guy, Saber, is a different story. He seems like he's more of the a-typical wrestler that we have come to know over the years.

Matt Green: He's got the look. He's got the right attitude. He's one half of the Tag Team Champions over at The Wrestling Domain. He's still young, which always means that he has a lot to learn. I wouldn't expect a flawless performance from this man, but I think it should be pretty good.

Paul Ryan: Let's kick things off then.

The fans are silent as both competitors wait for the bell in their respective corners. The referee asks Saber if he is ready. He nods. The ref then asks The Wizard of Ahhhhs the same thing. Ahhhhs is busy waving to the fans and flexing the muscles that he doesn't have. The referee walks behind the Wizard and gently taps his right shoulder. Ahhhhs looks to his left and sees nothing, so he continues to pose for the crowd. The UWA official then taps him on his left shoulder. Again, Ahhhhs turns his head, but this time to the right. Again, he sees nothing and goes back to playing to the crowd. Finally the referee gently grabs this odd superstar and spins him around. Ahhhhs, appearing startled, looks at the referee for a few minutes. He asks the ref,"What do you want?" The official again asks,"Are you ready?" Ahhhhs gives a massive grin and nods his head up and down. The referee calls for the bell to begin the opening contest.

Matt Green: Uhhh, we already said that the Wizard was a strange character. I'm not sure he even knows he's here to wrestle now. Did someone let him know this was a wrestling match?

Paul Ryan: The referee just did. Let's hope that he came prepared or this is going to be a quick one.

As the bell rings, both Saber and Ahhhhs come together in the center of the ring. Saber extends his hand in a show of sportsmanship. The Wizard reciprocates and extends his hand. The give each other a quick handshake and then begin to circle each other. They come together in a collar and elbow tie up. Both men test each others strength but it doesn't last long. Saber quickly pulls Ahhhhs into a headlock and forces him to the mat. Ahhhhs struggles to get out of the move, but he can't seem to find a counter for it. He kicks his feet on the ground as Saber tightens the old. The referee checks to make sure it isn't a choke. After a few moments, Ahhhhs begins to twist his body. He gains enough momentum to roll himself and Saber over. Saber's shoulders are down to the mat and the ref drops down for the count. Saber quickly kicks out at 1 and lets the headlock go. Both men appear shocked at what Ahhhhs was able to do. Saber smiles and claps his hands together as he gets off the mat.

Matt Green: Well that's cute. A little applause from Saber to his opponent.

Paul Ryan: Deservingly so. With the look on the Wizard's face, it's obvious that he shocked himself there. Maybe he'd like to give himself an applause.

As both men get to their feet, they again tie up in another collar and elbow. This time Ahhhhs pulls off the headlock. He smiles at the accomplishment. Just as soon as the smile forms on Ahhhhs' face Saber quickly grabs him by the waist and hoists him up into the air. Saber holds The Wizard in the air for a few seconds and then falls backwards in a vicious back suplex. Ahhhhs grabs his back, as he arches it up off the mat, obviously in pain. Saber again pulls himself off the mat and walks towards Ahhhhs. He picks the Wizard up by his head and Saber gives him a quick kick to the gut. Saber then pulls Ahhhhs into a front face lock. Throwing the eccentric competitor's arm behind his neck, Saber quickly hits him with a snap suplex. Keeping a hold of Ahhhhs, Saber rolls over and picks his opponent up. He hits another snap suplex. Once again he keeps the hold on Ahhhhs and lifts him up, however instead of snapping him back, he holds him up in the air. As Saber shows his strength, the fans begin to clap at the amount of time that has passed. After 30 seconds, Saber then falls back, forcing the Wizard and himself to crash to the mat. Saber then rolls over for a lateral press pinfall.

Paul Ryan: Pinning attempt by Saber.

Matt Green: I think he has him.

Paul Ryan: 1... 2.... kick out by the Wizard.

Matt Green: Alright. I guess we do have a match on our hands.

Saber shoots 2 fingers out, making sure that it was just a 2 count. The ref confirms this. Saber nods his head and again goes to pick Ahhhhs up, however the Wizard catches Saber by surprise and pulls him into a small package pin. The referee again drops to the mat. 1... 2... Saber kicks out. As both men pull themselves up from the canvas, Ahhhhs charges at Saber, who side steps him and wraps his arms around the waist of Ahhhhs again. This time however, Saber lifts him up to nail a signature German suplex. Ahhhhs once again grabs his back to try and soothe the pain. Saber walks towards Ahhhhs and drops an elbow to his lower back. Saber immediately gets back up and drops another elbow. He does this 3 more times. Ahhhhs is able to roll out of the ring to catch a breather. As the ref begins the mandatory 10 count, Saber stands in the corner, propping his foot against the middle turnbuckle and he waits. As Ahhhhs tries to regain his composure, he sees the fans begin to get into the action. He begins to give high fives to the various fans at ringside. They reciprocate. As the ref gets to 5, Ahhhhs looks hesitant about getting in the ring, knowing exactly what is waiting for him. He asks they fans close by. They give him a resounding ,"Hell Yeah!" Ahhhhs nods his head and slides under the bottom rope as the ref reaches the count of 9.

Paul Ryan: You know what. He may not be showing me much in the art of wrestling holds, but one thing is for sure. He is a bit of a showman.

Matt Green: Give this guy some offense and an attitude and he'll turn into a showboat.

Paul Ryan: That's clever. Saber on the other hand, what do you think of him.

Matt Green: Oh, his moves are good. He seems to have his opponent scouted out pretty well. He's coming in with a crisp attack. I like him.

As Ahhhhs makes his return into the ring, Saber immediately darts away from the corner and nails a vicious leg drop on Ahhhhs lower back, once again targeting it. Ahhhhs slowly tries to get up, but Saber finishes the job for him. As he picks the Wizard up, he pushes him to the ropes. Saber begins chopping away at Ahhhhs chest. The ref begins his 5 count. At 3 Saber launches Ahhhhs to the other side of the ring. As Ahhhhs bounces off the ropes, he is met with a vicious clothesline. Ahhhhs lays motionless on the ground. Saber hooks Ahhhhs legs and goes for the cover. 1.... 2... the Wizard rolls his shoulder up off the ground. Saber shakes his head as he gets up. As Ahhhhs begins to stir, Saber rolls him over and begins stomping on the lower back. Saber then places his knees into that sensitive area, grabs a hold of Ahhhhs' arms and legs and rolls backwards into a surfboard submission. Saber carefully tries to keep his shoulders off the mat as he wrenches his opponents back. Ahhhhs starts yelling in pain, but refuses to tap when asked by the ref. For a brief moment Saber's shoulders drop to the mat and the ref is there to begin the pin count. 1... Saber rolls back forward and lets go of the hold.

Matt Green: Smart thinking on the part of Saber to break that hold. As damaging as it is on the weakening back of the Wizard, it can also hurt Saber's chances of winning with his shoulders pinned to the mat.

Paul Ryan: So far, it's really been all Saber. He's thoroughly dominanting the Wizard from the on set of this match and as you pointed out, Matt, he's working on the back of his opponent effectively.

Saber methodically stalks the Wizard. As Ahhhhs gets to his feet, Saber quickly grabs him and throws him back to the ropes. As Saber sees his opponent hit the ropes and heads back in his direction, he begins to throw another clothesline. However Ahhhhs ducks it this time, hits the ropes again, and floors Saber with a dropkick. The fans cheer for the effort both men have been putting in so far. Both men lay on the mat, trying to catch their breath. Ahhhhs is the first to his feet. He sees Saber still laying on the ground and gives a thumbs up to the crowd who reciprocate with a thumbs up of their own. Ahhhhs sees the nearest turnbuckle. He looks back at Saber who is barely beginning to move. Ahhhhs looks back at the turnbuckle and grins. As fast as he could, Ahhhhs runs to the corner and begins to climb up. When he gets on the top turnbuckle, he looks down at Saber, still in the same spot. Ahhhhs turns around and performs a decent moonsault. He is able to connect on top of Saber, but hurts himself in the process. Both men squirm around in pain for a little bit. Ahhhhs is able to get enough resolve to go for a pinfall.

Paul Ryan: First pinning attempt by the Wizard. 1... 2... Saber is able to kick out. How about that though, Matt. A moonsault?

Matt Green: Watching him come to the ring, I wasn't sure what kind of style he was going to bring. Outside of that move right there, the only style he's been showing is how to properly take a beating.

Paul Ryan: Maybe this could be the start of some offense for the Wizard.

Ahhhhs begins slapping the mat in frustration. Saber slowly crawls toward the ropes and uses them for leverage to pull himself off the mat. Ahhhhs meets Saber by the ropes and begins throwing right and left jabs to Saber's face and stomach. Saber counters with a series of kicks to Ahhhhs gut. Saber then grabs the Wizard from behind the head and forces his face into the nearest turnbuckle. The fans really start to get into the match and count the number of times Saber forces Ahhhhs's head into the padding. 3 for the top. 3 for the middle. 3 for the bottom and a final one straight into the canvas. Saber picks up Ahhhhs and once again grabs his waist from behind. He positions himself and opponent with their backs to the corner. Saber then launches Ahhhhs into the corner with a thunderous german suplex. His back hitting the very top turnbuckle, Ahhhh's begins screaming in pain while running in circles on the canvas.

Paul Ryan: Ohh, here we go. Saber motions to the crowd that the match is over.

Matt Green: After that punishing suplex in the corner, I'd have a hard time arguing with him.

Saber grabs his opponent by the legs and pulls him towards the center of the ring. Saber begins to apply the Sharpshooter, but Ahhhhs starts kicking Saber in the gut. Ahhhhs is able to push his fellow TWD wrestler back with the kicks. Ahhhhs begins to rise. As Saber approaches, he kicks Saber in the gut and places Saber's head between his legs. Ahhhhs lifts Saber up into a piledriver and spikes his head straight into the mat. Saber lays motionless in the ring. Ahhhhs looks down at his fallen rival in approval. He begins pointing at Saber to the fans, asking them if they just saw that. The fans yell at him for the cover and he realizes that they may have a point. Ahhhhs goes for a pin, putting all his weight on Saber's chest. 1... 2.... Saber places his foot on the bottom rope just before the 3. The ref stops the count and informs the Wizard of it. Ahhhhs pulls Saber's foot off and again goes for the cover just as he did before. 1... 2... again as the ref's hand is coming down for 3, Saber puts his leg on the bottom rope to stop the count. Once again, Ahhhhs pulls his foot off and motions for the ref to count, and just as before Saber puts his foot on the ropes to break the pinfall up. Finally Ahhhhs realizes he needs to hook the leg. He grabs Saber's tights and pulls the leg closer in, hooking it with his arm.

Paul Ryan: 4 times a charm? 1... 2.... 2 and a half is pretty close, but not enough.

Matt Green: He may have had him on the first attempt, 10 or 15 seconds ago, but Saber had enough time to recover a bit of himself enough to make that kick out from the piledriver.

Paul Ryan: Well, what's the Wizard doing now?

Ahhhhs decides that he wants to fly and motions to the crowd. They cheer in approval as he begins to make his ascent. As Ahhhhs begins to climb, Saber starts fight his way up. Saber makes it to his feet just as Ahhhhs gets his footing on the top turnbuckle. Ahhhhs leaps off, trying to hit a double axe handle. Saber turns around just in time to see what Ahhhhs is doing. Saber catches him and locks his opponents neck and right arm in between his own arms. Saber then smashes the unorthodox Wizard into the ground with a Side Effect. Ahhhhs once again cries out in pain due to the damage his back has received. Saber grabs Ahhhhs' legs and lays his back on Ahhhhs's chest. The ref once again counts the pin. 1... 2... kick out from the Wizard.

Paul Ryan: Hey, you have to give the Wizard some credit here. I've saw some beatings in my day and Saber is just all over him, but he simply will not stay down for the three count.

Matt Green: I agree. This is really impressive that he can take this kind of punishment. You can't slight the man dishing it out though. Saber is throwing everything at him and he's executing these moves with some real precision.

Paul Ryan: As this match rolls on and the Wizard continues to kick out of pinfall attempts, you have to wonder just how much more his back can handle?

Matt Green: A lot of wrestlers would have been finished by now, but he's hanging in there and we're getting a real good match here from these TWD talents.

Frustrated, Saber sits up for a few seconds and begins to contemplate what to do next. He grabs Ahhhhs by the head and drags him up to the standing position. Saber throws his opponents arm behind his head again and goes for a vertical suplex, however Ahhhhs is able to spin around mid air and falls back behind Saber. Looking in a reverse headlock with his left arm, Ahhhhs motions to the crowd with a big thumbs up.

The Wizard of Ahhhhs: "AHHHH-STR...."

Saber counters with an elbow to the gut. Even though he is staggered by the counter, Ahhhhs still keeps the hold locked in. Saber spins himself around into a front face lock position. He lifts Ahhhhs up into the air with a perfectly executed Northern Lights Suplex. Saber bridges it for a pinfall attempt.

Paul Ryan: NORTHERN LIGHTS WITH A BRIDGE! 1... 2... 3!

Matt Green: NO! Ahhhhs just kicked out at the last moment.

Paul Ryan: He did?

Matt Green: The referee is holding up two fingers. This crowd and Saber are in complete shock.

Paul Ryan: Add me to that list.

Both men begin to rise to their feet. They are both exhausted. Each individual tries to catch a breath of fresh air until their eyes meet. SMACK!!!! Like bolt of lightning, Saber hits Ahhhhs under the chin with a superkick. Both men hit the canvas like a ton of bricks. They lay motionless as the crowd begins to cheer at the performance these two modern day gladiators have been putting in. The ref begins to make a count.

One. Neither man is moving

Two. Still no movement.

Three. Again, motionless

Four. Saber's arm starts to move. Turns out it is twitching

Five. Ahhhhs pulls his head up off the mat. He appears to be dazed and confused.

Six. Ahhhhs' head falls back to the mat. The crowd begins to chant each man's name

Seven. The crowd starts to get louder as Saber finally shows some real movement. Ahhhhs, not so much.

Eight. Saber rolls over to his stomach and sees a motionless Ahhhhs. The Crowd starts screaming.

Nine. Saber jumps up and rushes over for the cover. The ref counts another pinfall attempt. 1... 2... kick out by the Wizard. The fans erupt.

Paul Ryan: WOW! This is uunnnnreal.

Matt Green: This is just our opening bout. With so much on the line tonight.. Ortega and La Mancha. Alexander and Omega. The Tag Team Match. The Number One Contender's Match and of course, the Champion's Cup Finals... I can hardly wait to see what else is going to unfold here tonight.

Saber, again feeling frustrated that he can't put the Wizard away, grabs Ahhhhs by the head and hoists him up on his shoulders. He drives the near unconscious Ahhhhs into the mat with a Samoan Driver. Again Saber picks him up and nails a DDT for good measure. Another pinfall attempt. Saber grabs Ahhhhs' head with his right arm and Ahhhhs leg with his left, clasping his hands together. The ref drops once again. The fans begin to count along with him as his hands slap the ring floor. 1... 2.... kick out by Ahhhhs.

Matt Green: Unbelievable. He's throwing everything, but the kitchen sink at him. As far as wrestling goes, this is just flat out, great. I never thought I'd be saying that, but what a match.

Paul Ryan: The fans are coming unglued from their seats. They are seeing the same match we are and these two men have fully taken over the arena. I was fairly sure at the beginning of the match, but now... who is going to win this war?

Saber pushes Ahhhhs back to the ground with a thud. He gets up and walks around the ring while the Wizard starts to catch his breath. Saber shakes his head and yells,"This is over!" He picks Ahhhhs up and places him into a reverse headlock. Saber then spins him around and hit his patented SABER ROUND. The crowd goes wild for the effort and the impressive finishing move, however there was so much momentum that Ahhhhs rolled out of the ring and fell to the floor below. The ref begins another 10 count on the outside. Saber stands back, waiting for the ref to make his count. At 5 Ahhhhs begins to use the ring apron to pull himself up. The fans start to stomp their feet. Saber feels the slight tremors in the ring and his adrenaline begins to pump even harder. Ahhhhs finally pulls himself up, but falls back, hitting the guardrail. Saber sees this and starts clapping. The fans follow suit. After a few seconds, Saber nods his head and hits the ropes. He uses the momentum to launch himself through the second and third ropes, on the other side, for a suicide dive. Ahhhhs sees Saber coming at him like a torpedo and drops down. Saber goes head first into the guard rail.

Crowd: OHHHH!

Paul Ryan: GOOD GOD! WHAT IMPACT!

Matt Green: INCOMING! Saber just miscalculated on that one. Obviously, he wasn't expecting the Wizard to move and boy.. did he pay the price.

Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

Saber grabs his head in pain and starts kicking the ground. Ahhhhs, still dazed, looks over at Saber and smiles. The ref starts the 10 count over. Ahhhhs struggles to get to his feet unlike Saber who is trying to get his bearings together. As Ahhhhs stumbles to his feet he walks over to the ring apron and slides back in. Saber has still not made any major head way to get back into the ring. The ref gets to 5 and Ahhhhs smiles, feeling he has the match won. As the ref counts to 8, the Wizard's smile disappears. Apparently having a change of heart, Ahhhhs tells the ref to stop the count. The referee shoos Ahhhhs away and continues the count. Not wanting to win this way, Ahhhhs exits the ring, effectively breaking the count. He helps Saber to his feet and rolls him back into the ring. Ahhhhs quickly follows and attempts another cover, grabbing both legs and sitting on Saber's chest.

Paul Ryan: The Wizard for the win. This should be it. 1.... 2.... SABER GRABS THE ROPES!

Matt Green: You're kidding me....

Telling Ahhhhs what happened, the over zealous Wizard gave a frown to the entire audience. He picks Saber up and pushes his limp body against the ropes for some momentum. As Ahhhhs begins to launch Saber to the other side of the ring, he gets reversed and is instead headed for the opposite ropes while Saber waits patiently. As Ahhhhs comes back, Saber grabs him and lifts him into the air. Spinning around, Saber smashes Ahhhhs in the middle of the ring with a picture perfect spinebuster. The cheers are deafening as the fans are on their feet. Saber lays his head on Ahhhhs chest for a few moments. He pushes himself up and motions to the fans with a cut throat gesture. Saber once again grabs Ahhhhs' legs.

Paul Ryan: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! HE'S GOING FOR THE SHARPSHOOTER!

Matt Green: Middle of the ring, no where to go.

Saber locks in the Sharpshooter and begins to use his entire body for leverage as he wrenches back. Ahhhhs tries to fight it. He reaches for the ropes, but they are nowhere near arms reach. Ahhhhs tries to move closer, but with the low center of gravity Saber has, he ain't going anywhere. Finally, The Wizard of Ahhhhs slaps his hand onto the mat, signaling that he gives up.

Paul Ryan: YES! HE GOT HIM! THE WIZARD OF AHHHHS TAPPED OUT!

Matt Green: What an awesome match. Absolutely, awesome. Incredibily deserved win from Saber. He was hands down, the better man tonight and what a showing on his part. I can see why he is a champion over in The Wrestling Domain with a preformance like that.

Paul Ryan: The Wizard of Ahhhhs is laying in the ring. He was pummeled on all match long. He found a way though. He found a way to keep trying. To keep fighting.

Matt Green: We saw that he had the chance to win this match. He was going to win by a count out, but he went outside the ring and broke the count. Unfortunately for him, Saber took advantage of that and finished him off with the Sharpshooter very shortly after that.

Paul Ryan: Very satisfying opening match.

The fans, who were so docile in the beginning, give a standing ovation to the fantastic "showcase" match that they just witnessed. They begin to chant "UWA.. UWA" towards Saber and the Wizard. Both Saber and Ahhhhs meet in the center of the ring and shake each others hands. Saber grabs The Wizard of Ahhhhs arm and they both raise their arms to the crowd.

[lurkernumba1]

that is not a bad match at all, I really don't think you are new at this game haha.
