April 2020

Brian Quinn, comedian and Impractical Jokers star, approaches a group of investors about an idea. With not being able to work on his television shows or do comedy because of COVID, he turns to one of his other passions. Professional wrestling. His idea is an episodic wrestling show, (think Lucha Underground) with original characters and great wrestling. The investors love the idea, but with a few stipulations. He must bring in advisors with experience in the pro wrestling world, and he must have medical staff for COVID safety.

Brian, with his unnamed advisors, start searching for the roster. Unbeknownst to Brian, one of his investors has stake in NBC. A one hour, graveyard slot on SYFY has been secured for one season of programming, with an opportunity to get renewal with a better time slot if the show succeeds.

June 2020

COVID was suppressed by June and the first taping was set for the end of the month in Staten Island, New York. No roster is announced before hand. Fans will go in blind to find out what APEX will really be.

*So I've started and gave up on about 3 diaries in my time playing TEW. That's TEW for you. I think those failed because I tried doing something too big. This is a smaller save with a more focused idea. Just booking 1 hour shows I can get a lot more done and not get burned out. Yes, I know the APEX logo is from a UK company, but I couldn't think of a good idea for a company name and logo, and this logo inspired me with a lot of ideas.*

The first competitor to appear on APEX wrestling comes out from the back.

Valenzuela Jr. makes his way towards the ring. He is a trained hip-hop dancer and martial artist. He dances his way into the ring as the fans are excited to see a familiar face they have seen on TV.

The atmosphere of the room changes when his opponent enters.

Lil' Cholo Erazo comes out, accompanied by his brother Nelson Erazo. They both have nasty looks on their faces, ready to take out any competition on the way to the Top of the Mountain.

*Shows are rated on Main Event Spotlight and Tight Focus for now since I started at Small size and don't want to lose pop.*

*Let me know what you think of some of the characters and what directions I could possibly take with the show. Also predictions for anyone else on the roster and what their characters will be would be awesome to see.

APEX Wrestling: Season 1, Episode 2

The second episode of APEX starts with two mysterious men with face paint in the ring. They move creepily and are only announced as K and O.

Their opponents make their way to the ring.

First, billed as the Prince of an English island in the Pacific, Heath Sebastian Wallace III comes out dressed in royal garb and a smile on his face.

His partner, Kalo, his right behind him. He is a monk from South Africa who now resides somewhere in the Himalayan Mountains.

APEX Tag Team Match
Meeting of the Minds vs. KO

Meeting of the Minds clearly control most of the match, with Kalo doing most of the work for the team. KO constantly tries to find a way to cheat and take control, but they are never given the opportunity. The ending comes when Kalo takes to the top rope and hits a 450 splash.

Kalo & Heath celebrate their debut victory on APEX, but are soon interrupted.

A masked man appears from the back, dressed in a white suit. He points to the two men in the ring.

Three men appear out of the crowd and quickly get into the ring to attack Kalo & Heath. They continue to decimate the two men until told to stop by their boss. They each leave in separate directions through the crowd, as the leader disappears in green fog.

Segment Rating: 32

Clearly shocked after what just happened, the commentators try to get APEX back on track for the next match.

Already in the ring, Dasher is billed as the greatest athlete you've never heard of. He starts to get on the fans good side with some taunts, but is quickly interrupted.

Machine Gunka and his bodyguard DOC make their entrance into the ring. They are clearly on a mission. Gunka demands the referee start the match.

APEX Singles Match
Dasher vs. Machine Gunka

Machine Gunka makes quick work of Dasher, but prolongs the match to send a message to APEX. Eventually he tosses him against the rope and hits him with a huge Spinebuster for the win.

Machine Gunka defeats Dasher in 8:30 by pinfall after a MachineBuster

Match Rating: 44

DOC immediately gets in the ring and goes to work on Dasher, Gunka demands a mic. While DOC holds down Dasher and hits him with fists from above, Machine cuts a promo on APEX. He says that he will be the first Top of the Mountain champion, and with the help of DOC, no one will be able to take it from him.

Segment Rating: 44

After a commercial break, we see backstage a locker room door with smoke coming out from the cracks. A theme song plays with loud drums and horns blares across the small venue. A fake crowd noise is played, chanting "Lo-lo, lo-lo, lo-lo." The door busts open with a large Hawaiian exiting, coughing. He shows off with some punches. Pakalolo makes his way out for his match.

After he finally makes it into the ring,

a monster, announced as Kongo, enters. He is directed by handlers into the ring.

APEX Singles Match
Pakalolo vs. Kongo

The two big men put on a good performance, with Pakalolo seemingly being the better of the two. He seems a little paranoid at points in the match, getting distracted by heckles from the fans. Eventually, he is able to pin Kongo after he hits him with a huge Superplex that almost breaks the ring.

Pakalolo defeats Kongo in 9:40 by pinfall after a Superplex

Match Rating: 44

Pakalolo makes it to his feet, realizing he won and celebrates. That doesn't last long.

A Puerto Rican dressed in super nice, silky clothes stands at the entrance way with a microphone. He says that Lolo owes him some money and will get him to pay, one way or another.

Segment Rating: 43

Tonight's main event couldn't have came sooner. *I mean seriously, what was that last segment.*

The first competitor enters, his name is Thor Bjerk. Billed from somewhere in Scandinavia, a giant Viking-looking man stares out the crowd with a blank look on his face.

His opponent, Brett Cardona, comes out with his friend, BJ Myers. Both men are dressed in all purple velvet suits and fancy canes. The fans cheer loudly for some reason unknown to the broadcasters. Cardona looks physically frighted by Thor, but is ready to begin the match anyway.

APEX Singles Match
Brett Cardona vs. Thor Bjerk

Bjerk clearly overpowers the velvet-clad Cardona. Brett is able to get some offense in during the match, but only because Bjerk gets distracted by Myers and destroys him outside the ring. The match ends after a big Chokeslam Thor hits in the middle of the ring.

Thor Bjerk defeats Brett Cardona in 11:44 by pinfall after a Chokeslam

Match Rating: 43

The two loveable boys from New York try to plead with Thor, trying to offer them "services" for him to leave them alone. Either he doesn't like their offer or doesn't understand English, because he picks both men up and hits a Double Chokeslam. The fans boo as he leaves the ring, ending the second episode of APEX Wrestling.

Segment Rating: 47

Final Show Rating: 42

*WTF did I do with this show*

*Once again, feedback is always awesome. Obviously I know this show got kinda strange, but I'm having fun with it and I hope you enjoy it as well. These two shows showcased pretty much the full roster, with one or two people not making appearances. Let me know what you think of the roster and who your favorite characters are.*

It makes almost no sense to me.

Brian Quinn opens up the third episode of APEX Wrestling. He hypes up the fans for the main event tonight, a rematch between Dan Healy and Big Pappy.

It is being investigated and if it has anything to do with another APEX competitor, there will be consequences.

The Erazo Brothers are in the ring, ready for their tag match against Valenzuela Jr. and his mystery partner.

Valenzuela Jr. comes out. He looks ready to take on the men that beat him up a couple weeks ago. He points to the curtain for his partner to join him.

Christopher Hero, the man who watches over APEX and ensures justice, appears from the back with a smile on his face. He loves to dish out justice!

Thor Bjerk is shown walking towards the curtain for his match. He meets his partners for tonight.

KO, the Demons from Hell, speak some weird language to Bjerk. He just grunts and they head towards the ring.

Once they are in the ring, their first opponent enters.

Graeme The Great, who clearly has a broken jaw from last weeks match against Miroslav, comes out, with

The NY Pimps by his side.

APEX Six-Man Tag Team Match
Thor Bjerk & KO vs. Graeme the Great & The NY Pimps

It is clear that Thor is pretty unstoppable. Graeme gets bullied by him for a good half of the match. K tags himself in at one point. That is when Brett & BJ are able to take some control. The match ends when Thor goes into a rage at the sight of Graeme celebrating with the fans. He continuously throws hammerfists to Graeme and referee is forced to stop the match.
