FHT 2K14 Universe Log

[The Reverend Daddy Joe]

So having made enough characters to create an FHT brand with its own show, I decided to start a thread detailing some of the going ons in the virtual FHT Universe. I'm already a month in, so I will do my best to recap from previous shows.

The initial rivalries that showed up were Gordon vs Keith, Max Venom vs RDJ, and Red Ninja vs Ace Andrews.

Ninja vs Andrews
Red Ninja was the first FHT Champion, but he could not buy a win off of Ace Andrews. Ace repeatedly beat Ninja on the shows leading up to FHT's first PPV "The King of Hardcore." I even tried to help by playing Ninja a few times, but the AI got the better of me (it's on Legend mode, where I still usually do pretty well, but AI Ace is a tough man/robot to beat). Ace takes the belt from Ninja on the TV show right before the PPV.

Venom vs RDJ
One-sided feud. They repeatedly attacked each other during and after each other's matches. Max attacked RDJ during a match with Ninja, then afterwards Max had a match with the Obese Monster Big Bully Pete, where RDJ actually assisted in max winning the match, only to attack him with a steel pipe. The blow off of the feud happened on the show before The King of Hardcore where RDJ picked up the win via the Fisherman's Daddy-plex.

Gordon vs Keith actually ended at The King of Hardcore, so I will detail that in my run down of the event.

King of Hardcore

The King of Hardcore is a King of the Ring PPV which has a series of matches and then the main event itself is a King of The Ring tournament.

Opening match
Chase vs Killer
Result: Chase picks up the win via The Brainbuster

Gordon vs Ulster
Result: Ulster wins via Camel Clutch submission

Hardcore Championship: Lbm(c) vs Soul Reaper
Result: Lbm picks up the win with the Outsider's Edge (Surprising, because Soul Reaper had until that point been tearing through the competition).

Max Venom vs Red Ninja
Result: Max picks up the win via Death Valley Driver

FHT World Wrestling Championship: RDJ vs Ace Andrews
Result: RDJ to become the new FHT World Wrestling Champion via Fisherman's Daddy-plex. This one surprised me because I had not set up RDJ to be in the World Title picture, I was planning on having him feud for the Hardcore Championship instead, but the computer assigned this one. I played as RDJ as usual, and was shocked at how much of an easier time I had beating Ace with RDJ when I fought pretty damn hard to beat him a few times with Ninja and came up short.

The King of Hardcore Tournament

Round 1

Big Bully Pete vs Cousin Jeb
Result: Big Bully Pete squashes Jeb and ends him with his Bully Drop (Bonzai Drop). Pete advances to the second round.

Robert Gordon vs Max Venom
Result: Gordon wins after countering a Death Valley Driver on a table, rolls Max in and hits him with a Greetings from Stamford (Kryptonite Crunch). Gordon goes on to face Big Bully Pete in the second round.

Keith Williams vs Chase Stapleton
Result: Keith wins a real close match with Chase. It came down to the wire. Chase hit the Brainbuster on Keith, but Keith kicked out. When both men got to their feet Kieth hit a superkick out of nowhere to pick up the win and advance to the second round.

J-Man vs Ulster
Result: J-Man via the Eat Defeat. J had the tar beaten out of him by Ulster, but managed to pull out the win in the end.

Second Round

Robert Gordon vs Big Bully Pete
Result: Gordon via count out. The match started, and Big Bully Pete immediately left the ring and walked up the ramp, revealing he is in collusion with Robert Gordon. After the match they officially announce the team of Gordon Ltd. Gordon advances to the second round without breaking a sweat.

Keith Williams vs The J-Man
Winner: Williams picks up the win over one of the FHT founding members in a back and forth match that actually got pretty vicious. The match ended with Williams powerbombing J onto the steel ring steps that J had brought into the ring earlier. Williams goes on to face his bitter rival Gordon in the final round of the King of Hardcore tournament.

Final Round

Keith Williams vs Robert Gordon

The set up: This is the culmination of a rivalry between Gordon and Keith. They had both exchanged wins and losses with each other for weeks leading up to this point. Gordon attacked Williams from behind on two separate occasions before a match, losing the first and winning the second(the second was a Falls count Anywhere match that never made it off the ramp) . Williams returned the favor on their third encounter. On the fourth encounter right before the PPV they couldn't wait to get to the ring and began to fight on the ramp, that match eventually ended in a double count out. These two were not scheduled to fight at The King of Hardcore, but were amusingly (to me at least) placed at opposite ends of the tournament itself at just the right time to end the feud.

Result: Robert Gordon via Greetings from Stamford. An exhausted Keith did his best, and almost won despite Gordon having essentially bypassed the second round of the tournament. Gordon escaped the ring and took the fight outside. It went back and forth, with Williams driving Gordon through a table, and Gordon tackling Williams through the steel barricade. Williams got the better of Gordon, and hit both a superkick and a powerbomb on Gordon, but couldn't pin him because they were outside the ring. Keith was reversed when he tried to get Gordon back in the ring, and Robert grabbed the ring bell and blasted Williams with it before hitting Greetings From Stamford to pick up the win and the title of the King of Hardcore.

September Week Three: FHT Wednesday

Alexei Petrovich vs Chase Stapleton
Chase dominated this one. Alexei made an impressive attempt at a comeback, hitting a codebreaker and almost getting a submission win, but Chase was quick to gain control again and hiot two brain busters outside the ring before rolling The Bulgarian Wolf back into the ring for the pinfall.
Winner: Chase Stapleton by pinfall

Triple Threat: Cousin Jeb vs Big bully Pete vs Red Ninja
Poor Ninja. Cousin Jeb and Big Bully pete are monsters, and Ninja falls into the light heavyweight category. Ninja utilized his speed to his advantage and was able to bust out his high flying moves to compensate for the size difference. Ninja still took a beating as the two behemoths took turns tee'ing off on the former FHT World Wrestling Champion. Eventually the two of them turned on each other, allowing Ninja time to rest, make a comeback, and hit cradle piledrivers on both of them for the win.
Winner: Red Ninja by pinfall

Rivalry Match
Falls Count Anywhere: Keith Williams vs Soul Reaper
The first match of this seemingly out of nowhere rivalry. Hard fought battle. Keith was having trouble wrestling the larger and probably more technically sound Reaper. Keith compensated by grabbing anything that wasn't nailed down and hitting Reaper in the face with it. Reaper gained control, and in what seems to be the finish of many Keith Williams matches, got black hole slammed by Reaper, managed a last second kickout, got up to his feet and hit the superkick for the win. No cut scene after it though, so I'm curious as to why this was a rivalry match.
Winner: Keith Williams

Rivalry Match
Extreme Rules Tornado tag: Billy and Blake Bodacious (The Bodacious Bros.) vs Lbm and Ulster (The Belfast Express)
Billy and Blake have a significant speed advantage over the hulking Ulster and the small, but brawl based Lbm. Lbm must have recognized this and went outside and grabbed a chair. The Bodacious Bros. gave a great fight, utilizing their high flying expertise to almost defeat the two FHT originals, but in the end Ulster hit The Hammer of Cuchullain (Jackhammer) onto Blake on top of a steel chair to pick up the win.

Rivalry Match
Falls Count Anywhere Match: RDJ vs Robert Gordon
I have not been assigning the feuds, instead letting the computer do that for me, so I thought it was funny that it feuded Gordon with keith at first, and then with RDJ. Turns out that was not the case. Super hard fight. RDJ comes out the winner only by countering a Greetings from Stamford on the announcers table and hitting a Tigerbomb for the pin. Afterwards Ace Andrews came out on the top of the stage demanding a title shot against RDJ.
Winner: RDJ by pinfall

[The Reverend Daddy Joe]

Skipped a week or so on the calender. After all, you don't want to read every result from every single show, do you?

October week 1

David Hughes vs Gordon
David has been on fire since his debut, defeating Keith and Cousin Jeb in a triple threat. David also beat Red Ninja the following week, and then even defeated Ulster and Blake Bodacious in another triple threat match. Unfortunately this time he ran into Robert Gordon, FHT Vice President of Operations, active competitor, and due to shenanigans, The King of Hardcore. David gives up around 6 inches of height and around 70 or 80 pounds to Gordon, and Gordon knew it in this match. Gordon trounced David, tossing him around the ring and continually taking him down and smashing his fist into David's face. David made a comeback briefly, but was immediately stopped with a powerful running clothesline and got hit with a Greetings from Stamford to suffer his first loss since his debut.
Result: Robert Gordon

Rivalry Match
Submission match: Keith Williams vs Soul Reaper
I still have no idea what started this feud. For sake of narrative I am going to say that Reaper cut a shoot promo on Keith. Reaper jumped Keith on his way to the ring, and most of the match happened on the outside. Reaper is the more technically sound wrestler, and also has a size advantage, but Keith did put up a good fight. Eventually the match made its way into the ring where Reaper managed to counter a superkick and put Keith in the Hell's Gate for the win.
Result: Soul Reaper

Rivalry match
Falls Count Anywhere: Lbm vs Billy Bodacious
These two are representing their respective teams in their FHT Tag Team Championship feud. Billy Bodacious is an 80's style high flyer, while Lbm is a hardcore brawler, so Lbm demonstrating a good deal of logic, went outside the ring as soon as the bell rang and grabbed a baseball bat. Lbm pretty much hit Billy Bodacious with every weapon he could find, bats, chairs, ring bells ect. Match ended with lbm hitting a brainbuster on Billy through the announcer's table for the win.
Result: Lbm

Rivalry Match
Submission match: RDJ vs Ace Andrews
The FHT creative team is clearly phoning it in at times. That comes from being the late night TV-MA show of the WWE programming line up that stars a bunch of indy darlings from the Northeast and Europe. Here we see Creative's laziness by having them repeat the same pre-match conditions with Keith and Soul Reaper seen earlier in the show. RDJ jumps Ace on the way to the ring, the brawl on the outside, eventually make it back into the ring, RDJ counters a crossface chickenwing, and slaps in the RDBite submission hold for the win.
Result: RDJ
