Blaze of Glory
11/19/20
The introduction for FIRESIDE’s first PPV card takes place in a room full of trophies and championships. The owner of FIRESIDE, Anthony Caffrey sits in a nice chair in a suit, but also wearing a facemask. His XHF Tag Team Championship sits besides him.
Caffrey: Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the card announcement for our first pay-per-view, BLAZE OF GLORY!
Caffrey puts three fingers up.
Caffrey: Live from our Philadelphia location, you will be treated to three title matches including the finale of the Kindling in our main event! Let’s start at the beginning of the card, shall we?
Caffrey: Up first, yes the rumors are true. I am offering BTK a contract if he can beat anyone I deemed worthy of signing to our company. He’ll be taking on Tanya, an athletic gymnast and gamer -- and if he wins, he’s officially #FIRESIDEAF.
Caffrey even does the hashtag with his fingers.
Caffrey: Our five minute challenge continues for Dinosaur Bones. Originally, I was going to put him against the competition he’s looking for, but neither MYOJIN or Hayden Callahan are cleared for this show. They’ll do battle down the line, but instead, he’ll have to deal with his own size, in the form of the 400-pound Piledriver Pete.
Caffrey: Dr. Lagari would like me to ask all of you to stop jumping each other and injuring each other. Please, there are many other ways to make an impact.
Caffrey sighs, knowing he’s going to have to hire security.
Caffrey: But speaking of, ‘Devilish’ Donny Deville and Joe Nobody scored the first tag team win in the history of FIRESIDE, so they’ve qualified for our first championship match too. They’ll be going against our latest signings, Esmur and Gebin -- you know them as the Nihilists. I know them as a team that’s also held my championships, so I’m curious to see how that goes.
He playfully bangs against his own title.
Caffrey: XHF Corporate has given us the first stop for the XHF Junior Heavyweight Championship. ‘Rock Hard’ Jimmy Vanguard will be coming into Philadelphia, and well, Jim…
Caffrey lowers the mask for a few seconds to show off a signature smile.
Caffrey: ...bad things happen in Philadelphia.
He raises the mask.
Caffrey: The rules say 1-on-1, but they don’t say we can’t make this match no-disqualification. This will be our first ever ‘Fans Bring the Weapons’ Match. In addition to the temperature checks to get into the building, any fan in the first few rows that brings a weapon will be required to wear gloves and will have their weapon properly sanitized by event staff.
It almost seems funny that Caffrey cares about how clean the weapons are, rather the ‘weapons’ part.
Caffrey: You’ll be facing one of our hottest talents… let me just check my notes on my laptop…
Caffrey turns to look at his laptop, where a Google Doc is open. Suddenly, lines of black and green code run through the screen. Caffrey looks at the computer once it finally stops, confused.
Caffrey: ... heh. Well, I guess you’ll be fighting our resident hacker, Derrick Lancaster. Best of luck, Jim. Welcome to Philly.
Caffrey: Before we get to our world title match, let’s talk about the end of the year. Our first pay-per-view is Blaze of Glory, but on December 31st, we’ll be having our second: New Year’s Nightmare. And two wrestlers have the opportunity to book themselves a spot in the main event of that show: two of our hard-nosed wrestlers looking to cement their names at the top of the food chain will battle to be the next #1 Contender to the FIRESIDE World Championship. The man of many nicknames, Jonnie Valentine, will be going one-on-one with Mistress Discipline.
Caffrey nods. Hell yeah.
Caffrey: And finally… our main event is the first ever FIRESIDE World Championship Match. Two tough-as-nails competitors got through incredible Falls Count Anywhere matches in the second round of the Kindling, and the Kindling comes to a close with one more match: a steel cage. Our Feywild Figure, the ever-terrifying MAJESTY fights the ever-determined Self Made God Misha Constantine in what should be an instant classic. To win the match, pin or submit your opponent, or escape the cage. And no, teleportation is not allowed.
Caffrey waves a finger, ensuring a fair fight for the biggest prize in FIRESIDE.
Caffrey: That’s our show, folks! Best of luck to all competitors. And finally, please wear a mask. I couldn’t be at FIRESIDE this week because of an illness - not COVID19 - I caught sometime during End of Days. Be smart, and best of luck.

Junior Heavyweight Championship RP Limits: 2RPs, 1500 Words Each, Judged by Network Admins
Help shape the 'Fans Bring the Weapons' Match! Everyone is allowed to reply to this thread with any weapon suggestions. We'll take the best ones and put them in the match.
____________________
Five Minute Challenge: 500 Words, 1RP? (I forget if there's other rules, ask Dino Bones)
_______________
How To Agree to Your RP Limit (All Other Matches):
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 once an agreement is made and ends at the Friday deadline.
If you have questions, PM me!
____________
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
• 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, no post-match attacks this show por favor)
Please note not all spots will make it into the show due to various constraints. Will try our best though. We love spots.
____
If you haven't submitted a roster application yet, you have until Sunday 11/1 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.
