Seven is the magic number!!! Yes, I am back to burn the ears of those famous with my own brand of commentary and humor. I also decided to divide this little piece of the Pimp into sections. Thanks for the positive emails and the negative ones always appreciated. Lets get to my first section...
Pimp In vs. Phenom vs. Peacemaker vs. Naldo
For some time I have been waiting for a feud like this a little history a lot of bad words and three great rpers, I am happy with it. The chemistry is tremendous I highlight one fact in particular there is a lot of respect in the rping. Everyone wants to make everyone else look good. The subtle hints when they say how tough and focused their opponents look that's something I like. For Naldo he is still one of the greatest rpers in this fed's history. Why? Simple fact he went through his lean period, but he has portrayed one tough character. Its easy for me to be the ass in the rps, take the jokes make the jokes, but for Naldo to be so straight and narrow for like 3 years to come up with this new corrupted gimmick, I dip, I dip the shades of the Pimp to my old friend and nemesis. Then we have Peacemaker, sometimes I could never work him out to be honest, I wasn't sure if he was as good as he was made out, till recently, recently I realized Peacemaker understands fully what being an rper is and he always has. He came here not looking to be a major 'star' for lack of a better term, but worked his way up. For me Maker is a true model of an rper, its all about storylines, fuck the belts that mean shit, cause they do in reality just added things to make it sound good like real wrestling, model professional and I actually feel honored to feud with the man. Speaking of honor let me touch on Phenom, like Maker in the past I have been dubious of the Phenom, I though yes here we go Taker rip off, how long will he last...9 reigns as Hardcore Champion later and a great Hardcore gimmick and he's still ticking like a expensive Rolex. This is a note to guys who want to be Hardcore, I never took to it myself, I liked old school wrestling, Phenom is Hardcore, he understands how to be Hardcore, he doesn't give you crap like 'I am going to break you bitch', well he does now because what he did which the majority of fedders seem to realize is he saw the T.F.W.F. as a way to go up not go straight to the top, much like Maker. For the new guys listen to these two men, they fully understand how to appreciated by the board for their effort and the realization this is fun not real.
Great gimmicks
Fun not real mark the words of the Pimp! Great gimmicks have been in this fed for a while today we see Crème de la Crème the closet homosexual, Chad who embodies dead dudes from the WWF, Cry Baby who would wet his pants and worship the Fonz. However there are some under appreciated gimmicks, one in particular is Jimmy Simpson. For years Jimmy (not sure if he's just a story character now) was a great gimmick in the T.F.W.F., he didn't want to win he just wanted to run-in. The whole Simpson philosophy wasn't about being a champ, it was about hurting the chump. I loved this I loved it a lot he famous what like 6 run-ins in one night was one of those under appreciate records in the T.F.W.F.. Hail Jimmy Simpson now serving expresso to Huggsy bear and still making me laugh. Jimmy Simpson, no belts, hardly any wins, couldn't rp to save his life, but hell of a funny guy.
Autumn Annihilation
I think this has the making of the greatest card for some while. Small matches, not a big card, but what I would call a quality card. For the IC/Euro belt you have some quality. Mr. Showtime my personal vote for most improved rper of this year. Why because Showtime is the same as a Maker and a Phenom, but a little different. To be controversial Showtime wasn't a good rper when he got here. Fact is yeah the guys like 13, so we couldn't expect a lot (no offence to 11 year old Snap or the Original Show), he was going nowhere, but look at him now he stuck with it, he tried hard and now his gimmick is funny as shit, can I see the comedy in Crème and Show, oh yes I can, fabulous. Mr. Showtime will go far in this match. Speaking of going far you got good old Chad probably the guy who likes this site as much as I do, funny gimmick and he gets it...he gets the T.F.W.F. Chad wanted to get it...and he got it. Torch, a few personal issues aside this man besides Ian is the heart of the T.F.W.F. he loves this site and fully deserves the belt and the credibility as IC Champion. Then we have Crème, a guy who a few years ago needed to be here, I can see the T.F.W.F.'s prime might have past, I hope not, but I think it has and what a difference and character Crème would have been in its prime. Grunt...personal issues between me and the big man despite rumors no, I think he is an emerging rper and his grasp of referring to T.F.W.F. history is a great thing in my book. Chaos, was on the verge of greatness a year ago this man would have been T.F.W.F. Heavyweight Champion in reality probably the smartest man in this fed, its a shame he faded on us when we needed him I hope he finds his way back. This will be a good one if the guys put the effort in.
Pimp In's pick: Crème de la Crème pins Chad to win the two belts
Asylum vs. Players, I love this feud and I have no problem saying I voted for this for feud of the year because frankly the Asylum kept this tag division going as I have pointed out. I hope one day we can have a truly great match the Legends as they are now known against the Asylum. The Players produced this week the greatest rp I have seen in ages I was laughing my ass off, I sense a little tension between the Players, I really do, notice Young is getting tired of Da Gremlin's childish antics, but my bro in real life says there is nothing to it. I don't know maybe just me, great feud, great gimmick and what the hell will Big Bird do???
Pimp In's pick: Players beat the Asylum, Tiger then turns on Gremlin.
Light-heavyweight title match, not sure. I like the servant Twist and the way he has featured a lot lately. I do feel that Phantasm is being pushed way to earlier as a dare devil we need to give this young guy time to understand how we work and then I am sure he will be an asset. As for Pounds I am not sure, I had heard many a positive thing about Pounds, I don't particularly like his 'black power' intro, I think that's a little too controversial, the character is overshadowed completely by Snap as they were in the same fed, hope this one is better than I think it will be.
Pimp In's pick: Twist wins the gold and Pounds ends up joining Rezerection to feud with Snap
The Hardcore title match can and will be good. I have been critical of some new guys in this commentary over the weeks really because I think that more effort is needed by some. This fed is big and you need to make it bigger. Razer is not really in this league at the moment, I think he needs to work on his rp style a lot and I would be happy to help, so Razer mail me. Hardcore legend, the pick of the new guys in my opinion though I hate the name this fed is full of legends of Hardcore two of whom will fight in a goodbye match, anyway Legend has a lot of skills just needs to find a better gimmick I think he will go far. I am not a real big fan of Just A Fan Mark Barton I liked the name and thought he'd do much more with it, I am not seeing him satying here long. Horror, got him over as a big man and this weeks rp was solid from the dude, I think he might be rushing his gimmick a little and we could use another big dark and mysterious man, I would like to see Horror join Rezerection and put in a feud when Samson returns. Flint Fireforge, best advice for Flint is push the mother gimmick real nice and work on the rps again I will offer advice. Mike Mission, not sure if the mission will even take off though as always I hope I am wrong. X, time to step out of Maker's shadow and make a difference, I would personally like to see an X face turn and start a new stable with a couple of other underused guys. Snap seems to have drifted and just given this match for the hell of it, personally I pick him as a favorite and a nice touch would be to see him win for Samson's sake. Ultimate Scally the pure favorite in my opinion I would love to see Scallycore rules reenacted as well as 24/7 just for a while to make it interesting write ups, amazing rp from Scally and surely a win.
Pimp In's pick: Scally survives with Snap Sanderson, X and Hardcore Legend somehow a double elimination of X and Legend and Scally gets a lucky win despite the amazing rp
Tremere vs. Killboy. Is there any point talking on this, after all I don't expect to see an rp, but its a fitting tribute to 'real Hardcore Legends' they made a man think that maybe Hardcore could be inventive and I shall be the first to say I will miss them in their unique way.
To Ian as Crème, as Showtime as Grems has pointed out I appreciate the effort daddio and take it easy on yourself.
Until next week ask yourself the question.
