Rise of the Villains?---Platinum Championship Wrestling---November 7, 2015---Porterdale, GA

Chaos reigned supreme last night in Porterdale, GA in a shocking turn of events that unfolded at the end of the main event women's tag team match. Young children left the arena crying, old ladies screamed, and everyone wondered what would happen next in perhaps the most heinous betrayal in Porterdale's wrestling history.

During the first half of the show, the crowd's hearts soared. Our heroes dominated match after match. Johnny Danger triumphed over  JAM.  Brian Blaze and returning crowd favorite and PCW original, Mason, beat The Washington Bullets. Devlin Valek defeated Trevor Aeon.

Marko Polo and Bill T. Butcher tore each other apart in an unsanctioned Lights Out match that ended when Butcher slammed Polo through a table rendering him incapacitated. Though Polo was defeated, the crowd's spirits were still high. Haikken defeated Chris "the Hype" Henry with much interference by ringside manager, Quasi Mandisco. Henry stood out because of his athleticism, and the crowd supported him, knowing he'd have won if not for Mandisco's trickery.

Luscious Latasha and Miss Rachael faced Su Yung and Dementia De Rose. Rachel left the match early due to an apparent knee injury. Latasha was left alone and defenseless.  De Rose and Yung made quick work of her.  The Carpenter entered the ring, and Yung drug Latasha upstairs presumably to finish her off.

Carpenter oozed his usual evil as he talked about burning down Porterdale and recreating it in his own image.  He cursed the idea that people like announcer Matt Hankins and Johnny Danger could be the faces of PCW. three masked figures joined him in the ring, and laid plastic in the ring.  They launched a brutal attack on Matt Hankins, repeatedly hitting him with a baseball bat, laying him out, and leaving him bloodied.

One by one the Carpenter's disciples removed their masks. Jeff G. Bailey's presence surprised no one. He's always been an evil bastard. What happened next broke our collective heart, as the remaining two were revealed to be Miss Rachael and Stephen Platinum. Platinum embraced Bailey.  He went on a tirade about how Porterdale never really loved him, and how the only places who truly loved him were Avondale and Atlanta.  Rachael crowed about being Platinum's last true student and how she was his legacy.

Johnny Danger came to the ring, sickened by the attack on Hankins, looking for answers from his friend, Rachael, and his mentor Platinum. They ganged up on him, and Rachael cut a large chunk of his hair as a trophy.  Quasi Mandisco came out to admire their handiwork, and he asked to join their alliance. They attacked him too. Bailey took the brass knuckles from his hand and knocked him out. Platinum got a bucket full of tar, a bag of feathers, and the evil alliance tarred and feathered Mandisco in the center of the ring.  The remaining villains, Bill T. Butcher, Dementia De Rose, Haikken, and The Washington Bullets came out to join their ringleaders.

Children cried as the Washington Bullets mocked them. Old ladies hurled insults at our former savior turned traitor, Stephen Platinum.  I will not be at the next show on November 21st to see the aftermath, but I leave you all with these thoughts. Where are our heroes? Who will rise to take Porterdale out of this despair? Is their a light to counter this darkness? These are surely dangerous times.

  1. Great, emotional recap. And thank you for doing it - I had to reference yours to remember some finishes. I wasn't exactly taking notes.

    1. Thanks. I wasn't taking notes either, but some things just need to be chronicled.
