As Capitol Wrestling’s World War IV approaches. And with that comes the somewhat annual tradition of putting matches together in a somewhat rushed job by the creative team. Sure, it’s not exactly the best way to put a pay-per-view together, but as long as it gets people in the seats, money in the bank, with storylines and matches that work well, that’s all that matters, right?
Backstage: Stan Styles & Portia Vaughn’s fallout from last week: Remember last week when Styles promised to focus on the match for his manager (?) Portia Vaughn of Luxury Muscles Inc., instead of on his shake weight? Well, Vaughn remembers that too. She takes the shake weight away from Styles and won’t give it back to him until he pays more attention. Looks like Styles will be shaking… nothing. Let’s go with that.
“End Game” Paul Jordane and The “Disputed” Capitol Champion Ken Dixon vs. Sex Crazed: People who are in upper management roles, but do things they’re not usually supposed to do are supposed to be frightening. Triple H, the WWE COO for example, doesn’t ever seem to know when to stay out of the ring and not bury people. In any case, Marcus Dowling, the co-founder of Capitol Wrestling, made himself the ring announcer for the evening, giving regular ring announcer Michael Buckley the night off.
The match itself was a pretty standard and normal affair, which was a little odd considering what’s happened in the last few weeks. A Big Boot from Jordane and the Halls Of Violence from Dixon put away the Sex Crazed, but the night just wasn’t over yet.
For World War IV in a few weeks, Dowling will have a team of five guys go against Matthew Ryan Shapiro (manager for Jordane and Dixon) and his five guys, with the caveat being that Dowling pick the first member of Shapiro’s team. Apparently, when you’re the co-owner of a company, you can do whatever you want. The first member of Shapiro’s team is… Matthew Ryan Shapiro, who isn’t even an active wrestler.
And that’s what you get for running your mouth.
