Update

Well, I can safely call myself a part timer because not-so often do I make these after one another (if that makes sense). But I am getting started on the next three shows for LEGION, so as a precursor I am going to reveal my new signees who will be appearing on those shows and any other contracts I've negotiated for.

New Signees

Contract Extensions

Resigning

Meiko Satomura was meant to have a 2-appearance contract, but I messed up and thus I had to sign her again. I wanted Terry Funk brought back because I really need a judge for Wrestler's Court and he's cheaper then Ron Simmons, and also might not be as angry if left the card as much.

It's officially been three months since I last posted anything on here, let alone for this diary. To be honest it's because of an assortment of things.

I did manage to do a show after my last post in this diary, I believed the rating were the best that could've occurred for that show. The problem was I made a mistake concerning the main event and I couldn't go back to fix it without restarting the whole show. Once I did correct it, the show got a worse rating. My biggest concern is not being able to put on a better show then ECWA because they manage to have the likes of Bryan Danielson, Christopher Daniels and The Amazing Red on their roster despite being signed by multiple companies besides them. Now after this last show I lost confidence that I could. I've also been wanting to play other saves on TEW 2020 and really it be kind of unorthodox of me to have multiple journals at the same time. I've also been trying to watch WWE and AEW regularly. Been getting into other stuff, alternate history to be exact along with Hearts of Iron IV. Other things in life have also been in happening so I didn't feel like I had time to continue either playing or writing.

That whole debacle with my last show was really the bigger reason as to why I haven't posted in a while. I don't know what else to do, I have my last three shows of LEGION's first year planned out and I'll most likely have to grow through some restructuring by January of the next in-game year. I'll probably upload the show I did, but when I wrote them down, they had their original ratings. I'll put their original and new ratings to show the contrast.

I'll probably upload the show tomorrow because as of writing this I'm watching Monday Night RAW. Hope you guys understand where I've been, and I hope to get back into the swing of things when it comes to continuing my LEGION save.

WE ARE LEGION X - Hardy vs. Rogers

Live from the NC Royal Palace Theater
Attendance: 1,120

(Original score/New Score)

Backstage Incidents

(-) Sumie Sakai had gotten a lot of heat with the rest of the locker room due to her recent attitude, and there are signs that it could turn into a very bad situation if not handled soon. She was given a stern warning and nothing noteworthy resulted from it.

(-) Big Vito was antagonizing Rick Steiner so much that a fight broke out and they had to be pulled apart. He was fined as a result which gave a small positive impact on his behavior and was pleased. Rick Steiner was also pleased with this action.

(+) Mike Barton was brought before the Wrestler's Court, accused of not paying attention during a locker room meeting. The judge, Terry Funk, found him guilty and sentenced him to buy a crate of beer for the locker room. This had a small positive impact on him.

(+) Iceberg was brought before the Wrestler's Court, accused of failing to pick up his share of the tab at a bar. The judge, Terry Funk, found him guilty and sentenced him to buy drinks for everyone after the show. This had a small positive impact on him.

Results

The arena darkens as Big Bubba Rogers's theme reverberates through the venue, signaling the beginning of the show. Rogers strides confidently to the ring, a determined look etched on his face. With a microphone in hand, he wastes no time in addressing the audience, proclaiming his readiness to take on Jeff Hardy for the LEGION World Championship. However, before Rogers can delve deeper into his intentions, the unmistakable entrance of Gene Snitsky interrupts him. Snitsky storms into the ring, mic in hand, asserting his own claim to a title shot against Hardy.

The tension between the two competitors crackles in the air as they engage in a war of words, each vehemently defending their right to challenge the champion. As the verbal sparring reaches its peak, the arena erupts once again, this time with the entrance of Ekmo. The towering figure of Ekmo joins the fray, demanding his own opportunity to vie for the LEGION Heavyweight title. The ring becomes a battleground of egos as all three men argue over who deserves the next shot at Hardy. Just when it seems like chaos will reign supreme, LEGION Owner David Arquette's music hits, bringing a sense of authority to the situation.

Arquette steps into the ring, microphone in hand, to address the heated debate. With a calm yet authoritative voice, he proposes a solution to settle the matter once and for all. Arquette announces that Rogers, Snitsky, and Ekmo will have to put their differences aside and team up later tonight in a six-man tag team match. The stakes are high as Arquette lays down the ultimatum: whichever member of the winning team secures the victory will earn the next shot at Jeff Hardy and the LEGION Heavyweight Championship. There is a catch however, the two men teaming with Hardy tonight are Romeo and Bobby Fish who has been wanting Snitsky to pay his parking fines for a long while now. So, if the three of them lose tonight, not only will none of them get the next shot at Hardy but Snitsky will have those fines issued to him by Fish.

The tension in the arena is palpable as the fate of the championship hangs in the balance, setting the stage for an explosive showdown later in the evening.

Rating: 48/46

The Shane Twins interrupt the winning team's celebration only for the tables to turn against them with Romeo and Bobby Fish managing to chase them off for now. Hardy gets back up and claps for his partners, but once again the celebration is cut short when Brian Lee runs in from the crowd and attacks him from behind. The assault ends with Lee getting a table and chokeslamming Hardy through it, he picks up the World Championship, raises it above his head before throwing back to Hardy's prone body.

The arena is electric with celebration as Jeff Hardy and Terry Funk bask in the glory of their hard-fought victory. The crowd's cheers echo through the venue as the triumphant duo raises their arms in victory, savoring the moment. However, the joyous atmosphere takes a sudden, dark turn as Brian Lee's music hits, signaling trouble. Lee charges down the ramp, attempting to repeat his vicious attack from two shows ago. But this time, Terry Funk is there to help. As Lee lunges at Hardy, Funk steps in, and the two veterans join forces to fend off the assailant. The crowd roars in approval as Hardy and Funk begin to turn the tides against Lee, driving him back. Just when it seems like Lee is about to be overpowered, the lights abruptly go out, plunging the arena into darkness. The confusion and anticipation are palpable as the seconds tick by...

...when they finally turn back on...

Percy Pringle, better known by many as Paul Bearer, stands menacingly on the ring apron, his presence immediately capturing the attention of Hardy and Funk.

As the two wrestlers focus on Pringle, two more men, Ozz and Slash, slip into the ring from behind. They ambush Hardy and Funk, launching a brutal assault. The crowd boos loudly as the beatdown unfolds, with the attackers showing no mercy. The chaos reaches its peak as Allison Danger makes her way to the ring, joining Pringle, Lee, Ozz, and Slash. She helps the previously beaten Brian Lee get back to his feet and join in the beatdown of Hardy and Funk. Together, they stand over their fallen bodies, a powerful and ominous sight. Percy Pringle's sinister smile and the combined presence of his allies send a clear message: a new, formidable faction has emerged, ready to dominate the LEGION. The scene ends with the victorious yet villainous group reveling in their destruction, leaving the audience in stunned silence.

With LEGION soon turning 1 year old in my save, I decided to sign some people to more longer-term contracts then just a few appearances before resigning them later. I'm still going to sign certain people to short term contracts but for the most part the people you're going to see below we be seen more often. I'll also might sign more people later on so I can get more people to get more blend of styles as LEGION's product is based on a Three Ring Cirus style. So here is the updated roster of LEGION Professional Wrestling as it enters 2005.
