You impressed a lot of people in your first match against Kassius, so you want to take things even further in the rematch. Kassius, despite being a total jackass behind the scenes, always gives it his all in the ring, and you're going to want to not only match, but exceed his performance.

You arrive at the gym, eager to get work done.

>TOUGHNESS

Last time you shared the ring with Kassius, you ended up suffering a mild concussion from a few of his elbow strikes. You don't want a repeat of that incident, so you spend the day working on improving your toughness.

As you finish up, you catch a glimpse of a familiar face, though not one you're all that happy to see right now. Danny.

He waves nervously at you, hoping to grab your attention. You give no indication that you wish to speak with him, but he comes over to you anyway.

"Hey pal!" he exclaims. "What, uhh... what are you up to on this fine day."

You don't reply, and Danny's smile fades.

"Look man, I get it. You're still mad at me. I understand, I'd be mad at me too... hell, I am mad at me! I shouldn't have said all that stuff to the Princess, but I just couldn't keep something like that hidden, you know? And the guilt's been killing me!"

You walk on, but Danny steps in front of you.

"Look, I want us to put all of this behind us, but that's not going to happen until I make things even between us, so..."

Danny hunkers down, and points both his index fingers towards his face. "You get one free punch. Just get that anger out, and we can go back to being friends... please?"

>Punch him.
>I'm not going to punch you, Danny.
>Make it two, and we've got a deal.

>>46612705
>>I'm not going to punch you, Danny.

Punch him, but make it like an "I forgive you punch" to the arm. Let him know he's good with us. Tag Team is in the balance people.

>>46612705
>I'm not going to punch you Danny
Its not healthy for either us to agressively punch our problems nor for him to martyr himself for us.

Lets talk it out. It'll be better for the both of us.

>>46612977
He quit bro, but backing the whole "friendly punch" thing.

>>46613098
Also backing this one, cause maybe we could get him back in, form a tag team and have us be so over, Steinberg would have no choice but to give both of us titles.

>I'm not going to punch you, Danny.

Danny stands upright, slightly annoyed. "Aww, come on! I did wrong, and now I have to even things out! I'm sure punching me will make you feel better!"

"It won't make me feel better, and it won't make anything even," you explain. "Punching you in the face isn't going to solve anything. We need to talk things through... like adults."

Danny cringes. "Sure, but you do know how bad I am at talking like an adult, right dude?"

"I'm aware of it."

Danny lets out a sigh. "Okay... I let you down pal, and I'm real sorry. You're my friend, and you told me something in confidence, and I couldn't keep my mouth shut..." he nervously scratches the back of his head. "I screwed up, and I'm sorry. Do you think you can find it in your heart to forgive me?"

Danny stretches out his arm in offer of a fist-bump.

>Yes.
>No.

>>46613226
>>Yes.
Provided you let me finish what the hell in saying next time.

>>46613226

>No

"When are you coming back to the ring, Danny?"

>>46613226
>Yes
Now might be a good time to apologize for our behaviour as well. We haven't exactly been angels ourselves.

>>46613226
>Yes

>>46613173
Could we do that? Convince Danny back into the game? He could be the Triple H to our Shawn Micheals.

Danny smiles wide as the two of you bump fists together. "You mean it?"

"Yeah, staying angry at you isn't going to do anyone any good... and I haven't exactly been the best person lately, either."

"Don't worry about it," Danny replies reassuringly. "Everything will work itself out eventually. And I promise, I won't let you down again!"

You and Danny say your goodbyes as you return to your apartment for the evening. You throw your gym bag to the ground and wonder what to do next with your day.

You decide to give Kevin a call, make sure he hasn't made any life ruining decisions now that Patty isn't constantly looking over his shoulder.

The phone rings for a while, before Kevin picks up. His voice is rough, and he sounds tired and out of it as he speaks.

"Yeah, what do you want?" he calls out from the other end.

"I just figured I should call to see if you were okay. You know, with Patty leaving..."

"What? You think I'm going to just fall apart at the seams or something?" You hear puffing from the other end of the phone. Kevin is smoking, a habit he never had before. "Don't forget kiddo, I'm an adult. Fuck, I'm twice your age. I'm capable of acting like a functional human being."

You sigh. "I don't doubt you can ACT like a functioning human being Kevin... it's your ability to BE a functioning human being that worries me."

Kevin coughs. "You don't need to babysit me. Patty didn't need to babysit me, even if it took her forever to realise it. Can't you just believe me when I tell you I'm fine?"

>Fine. I trust you. But first sign of trouble don't hesitate to call.

"Sure, I'll call if there's any trouble... but there won't be." Kevin muttered from the other end of the phone. "I've been divorced twice, kiddo. I'm not going to find myself hung up over one girl. One... amazing girl... with an unbelievable fire behind every little thing she does... a girl who was never afraid to tell me when I was being a dick, who liked me in spite of all that... anyway! I'm not bothered by it. I'll live. I'll find someone else. Shut up."

*CLICK*

Before you can speak, Kevin hangs up the phone. He's clearly trying to act strong, but it's not hard to see how Patty's departure is affecting him. He isn't going to open up about it right now, though. You're better off spending your time with something else.

You decide to go for a walk around the city. Get some fresh air, clear your head, maybe work on your cardio a little too. You grab a jacket and make your way out onto the city streets as the sun begins to set. You briskly walk around for a while, a heavy wind blowing in your face, irritating your eyes and obstructing your vision briefly, until you realise you've bumped into someone. You rub your eyes as she vague shapes in your vision become more defined, as you see Abby in front of you, leaning down to pick up some sheet music she dropped.

Trying to help out, you grab what few pieces of paper you can as the are blown away by the wind. Abby picks herself up, dusts herself off and sighs as you hand her the few sheets you could salvage.

"T-thanks you... Robin?!" She turns red as she finally catches a glimpse of who she bumped into. "Oh, I didn't see you there! I'm very sorry."

"It's fine," you brush it off with a wave of the hand. "What are you up to?"

"I... I was just going to band practice," Abby explains, her voice so soft it's almost a whisper. "And... how are you? I know the last time we spoke was pretty... awkward. I said something pretty harsh..."

>It wasn't unwarranted.
>I'm doing fine.
>Yeah, you ready to apologise for that yet?

>>46615373

>>46615420

I still want Ace to be friends with Abby and apologize for acting like an idiot, but nothing romantic and no dates for a while.

>It wasn't unwarranted.

"I mean, what I did was pretty bad..." you reply, solemnly.

"Yeah..." Abby muttered, sadly. "Still... I shouldn't have said you were horrible. I don't think you're horrible... you... you're a good person, but you made a big mistake."

You sigh. "I know... Kimberly still hasn't spoken to me. I just hope I can make things right with everyone soon..."

Abby stretched out her hand in order to place it on your shoulder, but then panic and recoiled her hand in order to hold down the sheet music in her arms, attempting to escape through the force of the wind.

"You don't have to worry about making things right with me, Robin."

You're surprised. You didn't expect her to forgive you this easily. "Really? I haven't even apologised yet."

"Yeah... I like you, and I'm a forgiving person. I know you're sorry for what happened, you don't have to say it. I think... things are going to work out for you, better than you think Robin. Before all of this, Kimberly was your best friend for two years... I think she can forgive you."

You smile. "I hope so... thanks, Abby."

Abby smiles back. "It's okay. Good luck on Monday, by the way. I hope you take the title off that jerk... You know, I still... umm... never mind! I don't want to make your life more complicated. Goodbye!"

With that, Abby makes her way down the street, trying hard to keep hold of all her sheet music in the wind. You walk around town for a while longer before returning home and retiring for the night.

I really hope we whip out a new finisher. Either some sort of "Flying Ace" or "Three of a Kind" chain suplex.

You boot up a copy of a classic technical bout from the mid 90s with Eddie Soldado taking on Simon Malenkov, featuring a series of complex holds and counterholds throughout, as both men go back-and-forth for twenty minutes.

You keep pausing throughout the match to take notes, not wanting to miss a single moment of it, soaking up every last little detail you can find.

Your hands are hurting as fill up page after page of notes on this one match. Either this match is an absolute goldmine of technical knowledge, or you're just plain getting a better grasp of the art of technical wrestling.

You stretch and shake your wrist as you finish up on your study, wondering what to do next.

As you grab your box of tapes, ready to put something new in, David sits next to you on the couch.

"Big match tomorrow. Nervous?" He asks.

"Not if I'm prepared," you reply, waving a tape in front of his face. "I've got to look better tomorrow night than I have in any of my matches so far. This is a big one."

"Good to see you focusing on wrestling, and not your crumbling social life."

You shake your head. "My social life isn't that bad! I patched things up with Danny and Abby pretty quickly."

"You were talking to the quiet girl?" David asks.

"I mean, we bumped into each-"

"I wouldn't do that. It'll only be more trouble."

"Do what?"

"Date the quiet one again."

You shake your head. "That's fine, I wasn't planning on it."

David shrugged. "Just making sure. You usually make those kinds of mistakes. Now what tape are you putting on?"

Not the same anon, but. While I agree with you. When has Kassius ever shown a shred of anything that looks like he would willingly cooperate?

I'm pretty sure that the proposal to make Kassius look like a joke is a vote for trying to shoot on him and get a squash.

>FLYING

You pop in a tape featuring several matches from the short lived tag team run of Logan Omega and Mr. Mystery in the early 2000's. Two fantastic high-flyers, and both much shorter men than their opponents. You're pretty damn short by wrestling standards, but even you would be considered a powerhouse next to these two, who used their speed and skill to their advantage instead. You and David watch the matches on the tape attentively, though it's clear that David can't take anything from them due to his size.

You keep watching until your brain is burned out from studying all day and all night. You bid David goodnight before retiring to your room.

>MONDAY, APRIL 11th 2106

Today's the day. Your big match with Kassius is tonight. You don't know whether or not you'll be walking out with the TWA title, Steinberg likely won't give you his decision until moments before the match itself. Still, if you are winning the title, you want to look like a champion coming out of the match.

>Go to the Mall

You decide to take a trip to the mall. Sure, you already grabbed yourself some new gear very recently, but there's no reason why you can't go there to relax and rewind. You've already strained yourself enough leading up to this match. Any more exercise and you're going to pull a muscle. Any more studying and you're going to give yourself a migraine. Better to just enjoy the time you have between now and tonight.

You get dressed, and make your way to the mall. You begin to browse each store, not really buying anything before stopping to grab a bite to eat in the food court. As you grab a tray of burgers and fries and take a seat, your phone buzzes in your pants pocket. A text.

>From: Patty
>Hey Ace! Good luck in your big match tonight! Also, if Kassius tries to give you shit backstage, call him fat. He's very insecure about gaining weight. If that doesn't work, just say he has a small penis. He's insecure about a lot of things, as you can imagine.

You smile and let out a small laugh as you read the text. Even with her TWA return tonight, Patty still hasn't forgotten about you. Good to know.

You place the phone back into your pocket, but before you can bite into your meal, you see someone standing over your table, their shadow looming over you. You look up to see a face you know all too well. A young woman with a pink streak running through her wavy golden hair. Her amber eyes glare at you with a pained expression.

"Hi..." Kimberly mutters, as she grips tightly to the shopping bags in her hands.

"Hey..." you manage to reply.

>I'm sorry.

"Yeah, I know you are..." Kimberly sighs, as she takes the seat opposite you. "I know you're sorry, but what you said about me... you know I can't just shake that off, right?"

You solemnly nod your head.

"I wish I could, Ace... I really do, but right now... I don't think I can ever look at you the same way again. I wish I could say that everythings fine, that we could just both apologise to each-other for everything, and then we could hug and everything would be right with the world again. That's not the case, but I have to say, I've learned something from all of this."

"What's that?" you ask, curious.

"Ace, for the last two years I have been completely obsessed with you. Even when we were just friends, I didn't even want to spend time away from you. You should read some diary entries from when I was 17... they're so embarrassing, I sound like a 12 year old in them. I wanted to be with you all the time, and it wasn't healthy. After what happened between us, I thought long and hard, and I realised something. I couldn't even remember the last time I did something for myself that didn't involve you. So... that's what I need. Some time away from you."

Kimberly loosened up a little, even going so far as to swipe a couple of fries from your tray, as she was known to do. "I know it's going to be hard with us working together, but... it's what needs to be done if we want to have a normal, functioning friendship again. So let's not talk for a while. I hope you can understand."

>I understand.
>I miss you.

>I understand.

Kimberly nodded as she stood up from the chair and picked her bags off of the floor. "I guess you can consider this our official break-up. Goodbye, Ace."

Kimberly takes a few step away, before turning back around and facing you once more.

"Oh, and good luck tonight. I hope you take that title home with her."

For the first time in a long while, you see a smile creep onto Kimberly's face, before she walks away. You hang around in the mall, eating your meal and checking out a few other stores, before going back to your apartment to get ready for the show tonight.

As you tie up your mask by the curtain, moments before the match, you are approached by Abby, who looks rather excited.

"Good luck out there, Robin. I was talking with the rest of the band, and we figured that since this is a big match... and considering your character, that tonight we should play a cover of Ace of Spades, you know? To really sell this as a special occasion. What do you think?"

Abby nodded. "Sure, but just so you know, Steinberg pretty against using big licensed songs like that. I don't know why, with shows this small we'd never have to pay for them..."

"It's a good idea, though. Maybe just for another time," you reply.

"Yeah, maybe. Anyway, I gotta join the rest of the band. Good luck." Abby smiles as she walks away and you prepare for your match.

Orwin thinks he can mess with you by reminding you of how he defeated you and took you out of action last time, but you aren't going to give him the satisfaction. You don't react at all to his threat, much to the delight of the crowd, but much to the annoyance of Orwin, who comes at you with a right hook. You block, and fire back with a few shots of your own, backing him towards the ropes. You grab him by the wrist and whip him towards the other ropes, creating enough space for you to leap up and hit him with a nicely placed leaping dropkick on the rebound.

Kassius clutches his face, annoyed. You grab him and drag him to his feet, but he manoeuvres his way out of your grip, placing you into position for a tiger suplex. He lifts you up by both arms, but you fall out the back running to the ropes before charging at him. He turns quickly, swinging with his feared elbow hoping to hit you as you rebound, but you quickly roll under the strike, finding yourself in the opposite corner of the ring as Kassius. The crowd applauds the exchange, as the two of you begin to circle each-other in the ring. You take a step forward, and Kassius immediately rolls out of the ring, garnering many boos from the crowd as he does. The referee begins the count, as Kassius begins to antagonise some fans in the front row.

>Taunt Kassius from inside the ring.

As Kassius remains on the outside of the ring, you make a display comparing Kassius to a chicken, before leaning against the turnbuckle and inspecting an invisible watch on your wrist, tapping on said watch impatiently. This seems to get under Orwins skin, as he leaps onto the apron and climbs back into the ring, charging right at you. You move at the last second as he charges straight into the corner, hurting his chest. He takes a few steps back, as you come at him from behind, wrapping your arms around his waist in position for a German Suplex. Kassius fires back with a few strikes to your ribs, forcing you to break your hold. He grabs you by the wrist, swings you around, and pulls you in for another tiger suplex, which he executes fully this time, crashing you down with your shoulders pinned to the mat.

1... kickout.

Kassius drags you to your feet, ready to do more damage. He picks you up, but you wriggle free and roll his over with a sunset flip pin.

1... 2... Wait, Kassius shifts his weight, rising up while simultaneously pinning your shoulder to the mat.

1... 2... You manage to shift the weight in turn.

1... 2... Kickout! Kassius rolls backwards, as the two of you trade pin attempts, both men looking to put the other away as soon as possible.

You rise to your feet, as Kassius grabs you by the wrist, whipping you into the corner, chest first.

>Perform a springboard crossbody from the second rope.

Kassius sends you running into the ropes, but in doing so he gives you exactly the momentum you need. You leap onto the middle and spring backwards, flying towards Kassius and bringing him down with a springboard crossbody, hooking the legs for the pin as you land on the mat.

1... 2... Kickout!

Kassius pushes you off of him, as he climbs back to his feet. As you steady yourself, you are met with a jumping knee to the face, which sends you reeling, as Kassius begins an onslaught of strikes. Punches to the ribs, kicks to the side, a quick backhand to the face, all causing you to stand stunned in the middle of the ring as he goes for the KO Elbow. Thankfully, you duck underneath, and as Kassius swings around, you wrap your arms around his waist one more time, this time lifting him and throwing him back with a devastating German suplex. He rolls towards the ropes, preventing you from going for the pin, but you raise you arm high in the air, standing over your opponent as the crowd rallies behind you.

You make you way towards Orwin, but he grabs you by the tights, pulling you down so that you hit your throat off of the ropes, causing you to stagger back. As you do, Kassius rises to his feet and winds up his arm, ready to attempt that KO Elbow once more.

>>46620032
Sickest move.

>>46620199
OK, thanks for clearing that up. Quest paranoia is a terrible thing.

>Duck underneath and counter with an Ace Crusher.

Kassius swings with the elbow, and while you're staggered you still have enough awareness to avoid that elbow at any cost. You duck underneath, and as he spins around you leap up and wrap your arms around his neck, bringing him crashing down to the mat head first. Kassius falls back from the force of the move. You're still staggered and dizzy, but you manage to crawl onto Orwin, as the crowd counts along with the pin.

1... 2... 3!

The crowd explodes, and you rise to your feet excited, throwing your hands in the air, but you quickly realise somethings off. Kassius didn't kick out, but the referee isn't calling for the bell. You're confused, until the ref call you and the fan's attention towards Kassius' left foot, which is placed on the bottom rope, meaning the pin wasn't counted.

You don't allow yourself to be disheartened by the reveal, as you remain dedicated to winning the match anyway. Orwin is pretty much down for the count, so you drag him to his feet, ready to hit another Ace Crusher to finish things for good. But to your surprise, Orwin reaches his hands up and tugs at the back of your mask, pulling and stretching it with both hands. The referee tries to stop him, but Orwin shoves the official, before ripping a hole in the front of your mask, revealing half of your face to the audience.

TWA honors Lucha tradition, stating that tearing of the mask is grounds for a disqualification. That, coupled with Kassius' shove gives the official more than enough reason to call for the bell.

*DING DING*

>YOUR WINNER AS A RESULT OF A DISQUALIFICATION, THE ACE! HOWEVER! AS THE MATCH WAS WON BY DQ, THE TITLE DOES NOT CHANGE HANDS, SO STILL YOUR TWA CHAMPION... KASSIUS ORWIN!

The crowd boos, as Kassius continues to rip at the mask before delivering a knee to your ribs, causing you to double over. He drops you with a DDT, before laying stomps upon you while your grounded.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPx-nUqLMtc&nohtml5=False

Just as you are taking the beating, the band kicks up a cheesy, over the top and very popular song. Cheesy and over the top? That can only mean one person.

Sure enough, the crowd explodes as "Diamond" Danny Gable steps out onto the stage. He hasn't been seen for a few shows now, and the audience are glad to see him back, especially as he runs down to the ring to make the save. He levies Orwin with a few right hands, before dropping the champion with the double-underhook Diamond DDT. Orwin rolls out of the ring and escapes with his championship, as Gable helps you to your feet.

>Give him a hug.

You pull Danny Gable in tight for a hug, happy to see the guy, and happy to be saved from a cheap beating. Gable raises your hand in the air, recognising you as the rightful winner of the bout, even if you don't get to take the championship home with you. The crowd cheers wildly for the two of you as you use your free hand to adjust what little remains of your mask in covering the rest of your face as best you can.

>BACKSTAGE

Now that was a pleasant surprise. Steinberg had ran over the cheap finish and the beatdown before the match had begun, but her purposefully neglected to mention that Danny would be returning to make the save. As you hit the backstage area, you give your friend another hug for good measure. "Welcome back, buddy."

"Good to be back, dude," Danny replies with a smile on his face.

Abby approaches the two of you with a smile on her face. "That... that was awesome. You guys did great. Uhhh... sorry for keeping it hidden from you, Robin. Steinberg told me not to tell you."

"Yeah, I kinda asked the old man to keep it a surprise," Danny laughed. "And the good news is, you get another rematch this Friday. No holds barred! It's going to be great!"

You smile widely. "You bet. And next time, that title is coming back with me."

You make your way to the locker room, ready to meet up with everyone at the bar after the show.

Could we get someone to put a cool design as the patch job over the hole?

>LATER, AT THE BAR

You and Danny clink your glasses together in celebration. Sure, your glass is filled with water, but that doesn't make this any less of a celebration.

"Good job out there tonight..." You feel a pat on your shoulder. You turn to see Kimberly walking past. That congratulations will likely be her only interaction with you for the night, but you can live with it.

"So let me get this straight..." Kevin mutters, leaning over the bar. "You didn't win the title tonight?"

"Nah, dusty finish. I have another rematch on the next show," you explain. "A hardcore match, too."

"Ugh, I hate dusty finishes," he replies. "Do you know how many of those I had to put up with before I actually won my first world title? It was sickening. Also..." he eyes up Danny. "You're back. How did that happen?"

Danny laughs. "And I missed you too, Kevmeister! I guess you just couldn't break my spirit!"

Kevin shrugs. "I didn't think I could. You're not as good as the Ace, but damn, you love wrestling just as much. Which is saying something."

You take a quick sip of your water before deciding to ask.

"So Omega, how are you holding up?"

You had to ask. Kevin's looking even more worn down than usual, his haggard face heavy bags under bloodshot eyes.

"I'm fine. You have nothing to worry about, kiddo. I've already forgotten all about what's-her-face."

You doubt it, but you don't bother challenging him on that.

"In fact, I've even made a re-connection with a certain lady... an ex-wife if you will."

You're taken aback. "Really? But didn't Charlotte threaten you with a shotgun the last time you spoke?"

Kevin shook his head. "What? No! Not Charlotte! My SECOND Ex-Wife!"

Oh... fuck.

That's all for tonight's thread! Thanks for playing! Let me know what you think!

>>46621589
Hoooo boy...is this going to be the one in Japan with the kid? I think its possible.

I was wondering about that next hook and where it was going to come. But this intrigues me.

All things considered, I think the fallout was ad good as it was going to be. I hope we can be friends with Kimberly again some day. But I am glad that we inadvertantly may have helped her.

Also think we should send a thanks Jenny's way for looking out for her.

Good thread Booker!

And Archived! http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=WrestleQuest

New thread tomorrow at the usual time, 2pm EST/6pm GMT. Follow the twitter for any updates! https://twitter.com/bookerman32

For the player question, I'll reiterate the OP question.

>Player Question
The first major arc will be closing up in about 2 more threads, and the Quest will take a break while I work on other things. What do expect out of the second "Season" of WrestleQuest?

>Bonus Question
There will also be a bonus one-shot side story from another character's perspective, either before or after the "Season Finale" thread. You guys have a choice as to which character that will be, as I have two choices laid out. Kevin Omega or Owen Barnes? I'll probably open a strawpoll to decide this at some point.

>>46621728
Thanks for the run and Owen to find out why he trusted a complete rook.

>>46621728
Firstly, I expect either a Heel Turn (that promised hardcore-high flyer baby) or a signing into another circuit. Maybe something a lot like Lucha Underground. Hell, maybe go to Japan!

Maybe Owen Barnes. Let Kevin figure shit out for himself and let the character develop. Don't wanna manipulate him into decisions.

>>46621728
I have to say I have enjoyed the jouney so far, I may have had a moment of weakness and tapped out for temporary, but I just kept coming back. Give yourself a warm pat on the back dude.

>Player Question
I am still thinking we're on our way to an indie merger TWA will be swallowed up by some company, perhaps the mystery woman's company. With a few people. The Omega Grads, Jenny, Kassius, and maybe someone surprising like Angelo will be snapped up. We deal with a less acomodating booker(maybe he/she sees us as a heel) and a much more established roster, where we end up having to fight tooth and nail for the top. This allows us to explore tag teams and actual fueds and maybe even TV time.

>Bonus
Owen, definately Owen. Want to learn more about the guy and I expect he trust us because he WAS us. Just a hunch.

And to ask back. Are we going to be needing a new mask, or should we call a tailor to give us some flair?

>>46622128
>Are we going to be needing a new mask, or should we call a tailor to give us some flair?

You will need to go to the store to get the mask repaired.

Alright guys, whos up for some unique looks? I feel like we should kind of mark for each time Kassius slamed us one. Whether is be a scar, a bruise, etc. Think pic related but obvious less, the tear and the concussion as the only marks. It works for the feud until we're finished with it.

I am willing to hear other ideas though.

>>46622345
Sounds good. Especially when we do need to pull out some hard-core stuff and visa-versa on us. Deepens our character!

CAN WE FIND ANOTHER GODDAMN THEME?!?! CHRIST

>CAN WE FIND ANOTHER GODDAMN THEME

When it comes to theme music, I'm pretty torn. It was something I intentionally kept out of chargen, because I knew the second it came time for players to decide on a song, the quest would die because no-one would be able to agree on something. Even the few songs that have been suggested during the threads have been shut down by the other players who didn't like the suggestion.

I didn't think the theme music was all that important, especially in the early goings, so I decided to just go with some video game battle music that:
>A) Had lyrics
>B) Was over the top enough
>C) Just happened to be what I was listening to a the time

So I stuck it in there, with the impression that the theme would change at a later point. The theme music is bound to change a lot of times over the course of the game.

Considering the next change, I might ask people to suggest songs in the next thread, then throw the suggestions into a strawpoll so that it isn't decided on in thread, because opening it to a vote in-thread will slow everything to a standstill as people debate over what music to go with.

That seems like the smart thing to do--probably cobble together the top two or four choices that people can rally behind and go from there.

Though it leaves open the question of just how many people would suggest something used by one of the late greats as our entrance theme.

Also Booker--how hardcore of a hardcore match are we gonna get? Bags of thumbtacks? Barbed wire bats? Flaming tables? C4?

>>46622905
>Also Booker--how hardcore of a hardcore match are we gonna get? Bags of thumbtacks? Barbed wire bats? Flaming tables? C4?

It won't be an outright death-match. Thumbtacks, maybe. Barbwire, probably not.

>>46622781
Count me as another one who likes our current theme. But I understand that some may not like the soft-ish theme song. I will wait and see what I can find to suggest for us. Have a great one for Danny if he keeps going charisma dancing flair character.

>>46622953
Guess we may need a tutor to help us be a little more hardcore. If only we knew someone who may help...not to mention videos, of course.

There wouldn't happen to be a Mankind/Cactus Jack expy running around, would there? Teach us the Mandible Claw and maybe give us a couple toys to play with during the match.

>>46623698
>>46623811
While I wouldn't put it past Booker to have us run into someone from Kevin's past that's on the hardcore side, I expect the legend expy is basically Mick Foley.

Also, I think you guys aren't looking closer to home on this. Pretty sure hardcore is Jenny's specialty. Just like Toughness and Power is David's, Charisma is Danny's and Dirty is Kimberly's. It's at least an option. Though I can already hear David screaming at us to keep it professional from here. We have friends, might as well talk to them and learn/teach them, right?

And continuing my thoughts from earlier. Your thoughts on Danny getting this as a theme one day?
