Wednesday Night Inferno
10/28/20
Before Anthony Caffrey goes live, a rogue security camera catches the owner clearly still a bit miffed at having a destroyed desk.
Caffrey: I just paid for this shit-- gotta figure out if we can dock this out of his paycheck. I think there’s a clause, right? Alright, here we go.
The camera changes to the main camera.
Caffrey: Hello and welcome to our special card announcement of the second edition of Wednesday Night Inferno, a special Halloween edition featuring Round Two of the Kindling! The… six winners of the first Round will be broken into two triple threat matches, with the winners meeting in November to determine the first ever FIRESIDE World Champion!
He pauses for effect.
Caffrey: I’ve uh… I’ll be honest, I have no idea what the hell Majesty is or where Marcus found them, but they were on the apron to start the match, and they did score the final pin according to official Christopher Weir. Before that carnage happened, we saw great efforts from Derrick Lancaster, Jonnie Valentine and Mistress Discipline, AND both a competitive and spiteful game of one upmanship between Kyosuke Nakata and Misha Constantine.
Caffrey: These six talents will compete in two Falls Count Anywhere Matches, to be shot at two different locations. With COVID regulations still in place, some of Philly’s usual Halloween haunts needed additional funding, and FIRESIDE was able to make sizable donations. Our opener will be shot at Eastern State Penitentiary, the usual home to Terror Behind the Walls, but somehow more unsettling in broad daylight. Our main event will be at Jack’s Pumpkin Glow, a fun and spooky Fall carnival of sorts right over at Fairmount Park. Best of luck to all of these competitors!
Caffrey hops out of his chair, realizing how dumb it looks to be sitting at a broken desk. He develops his next lines with complete sincerity.
Caffrey: Also on the card, Dinosaur Bones decided to set up his residency here in FIRESIDE. Who will step up to answer his challenge to survive five minutes?
Caffrey shakes his head, glad it isn’t him.
Caffrey: I had originally planned to punish Joe Nobody by sticking him in a match with Elijah Townsend after injuring him, but Dr. Lagari has not yet cleared Townsend to compete. Instead, we’ll kill two birds with one stone as we get ready to crown our first tag team champions. Joe Nobody will be teaming up with the Olympic Athlete “Devilish” Donny Deville to take on POWERDRIVER, the team of Piledriver Pete and Powerbomb Paul, in a non-title Tag Preview.
Caffrey moves to showcase his broken desk.
Caffrey: However, one punishment is actually coming through. After his brutal assault on Bucky “Titanium” Knight and my office, Hayden Callahan will have to pay for his discretions both out-of-pocket and in the ring. He’ll be going one-on-one with one of FIRESIDE’s hottest prospects, the Shining Star: MYOJIN.
He smiles towards the camera.
Caffrey: Best of luck!

Match Writer’s Academy Now Open:
As FIRESIDE expands, you’ll see some guest match writers come in and out. One of the things I am also working on is helping people who would like to try their hand at matchwriting. I’ll be giving some advice, showing them where I learned what I do, helping them make sure they hit a deadline, and communicating spots from you over to them. If you are interested, send me a message as I still have one spot open.
For this show, our friend known best as Tommy Strychnine has volunteered to write the Jack’s Pumpkin Glow Match. He’s gonna rock it (ha) and do great. Please do not send your spots to him -- send them to me, and I’ll pass them along.

How To Agree to Your RP Limit:
Post below! Come up with some terms that you and your opponents can agree on. Some of you are fighting more than one person, so make sure all parties agree.
• Word count limit
• Number of RPs
• If there’s a special format compared to regular RPing
Once you agree, have someone write out the terms, then write /s CHARACTER NAME /s. The opponent should also write /s CHARACTER NAME /s in a reply.
It's like writing a contract, but please, no in-characters barbs here. Save it for the roleplays.
If you can’t agree, there’s two options:
1) Agree to Disagree: All wrestlers have unlimited word counts over 2 RPs.
2) Advantage/Disadvantage: Agree to terms that are unfavorable to you and give the opponent disadvantage. Your opponent has to clearly beat you to win.
Please be aware: if you do not communicate in advance to both me and your opponent that you're going to end up sandbagging (RPing very close to an established deadline, like within ten minutes of it), there will be a penalty.
Once all parties agree, get RPing! Your time starts then and ends at the Friday deadline.
If you have questions, PM me! I'm the only one running this damn thing.
____________
Please Submit SPOTS
PM me, anthonycaffrey, any spots you'd like for either/any of:
• Pre-match: before your match, these are things like interviews and special segments that usually you submit (ex: running hidden camera, debuting segments, etc.)
• Mid-match: during your match, cool/fun ideas that spotlight your character (ex: Misha stealing a pin, Valentine doing a cartwheel, Dr. Chaos’ existence, etc.). Also, because it’s our Halloween episode, Halloween costumes also are fun spots.
• Post-match/post-elimination: these are admittedly rare, but if you have a well thought-out story element, they can be added (as long as they don’t bury the match or the match result)
If you are in the Jack’s Pumpkin Glow Match, here's a link I fixed for reference. Think “a match at a Fall Carnival”.
If you are in the Eastern State Penitentiary Match, here’s a map. We won’t hit every stretch of ESP, but I’ll work with any ideas you have.
Please note not all spots will make it into the show due to various constraints. Will try our best though.
____
If you haven't submitted a roster application yet, you have until Sunday 10/11 at 11:59PMET to submit one and make it into a match this show!
If it's past this deadline, contact me for spots/features.
