As one the friends in question, as well as being one of the loons responsible for coming up the idea , The Race War Games Cage Set-up involved the following... (deep breath)

-One WCW War Games cage setup
-On top of that was Hell in the Cell
-Connected to the Cell were two shark cages
-Around the Cell was The CZW Cage Of Death
-Around that was The Punjabi Prison

All for a total of 7 cages, as well as a Scaffold for dumb rear end bumps.
The match was a 5 on 5 War Games style match with the two sides managers being locked in the Shark cages.
2 men start, with 1 man being added every sixty seconds, the advantage being determined by a coin toss.
Once all ten men entered, Race War Games began.
The only ways to win... Submit, Or Surrender.

Ahh, Good times.

EDIT: Here's a download link to the show in question. The match is at the 1:17:36 mark. ENJOY!(and god have mercy on your soul.) [url] http://www.blogtalkradio.com/cstc/2011/09/18/pcw-presents-race-war-games.mp3?localembed=download [url]

And after all this you didn't have the sense to put lumberjacks around it all with the guns the Gladiators had on the Assault round? Disappointing.

Also there should be a pole somewhere with a thing on it. But that wouldn't be fair to Rollins because Dean Ambrose is undefeated in Stuff On A Pole matches.

Have fun!
I can sit through bad RAW’s, normally because I’m writing or playing video games on my computer while it’s on my office TV, but I can’t stand BORING RAW’s. Last night was the definition of a “running in place” RAW, where nothing really happened other than Seth Rollins curb stomping Randy Orton at the very end. Everything else except for Miz/Mizdow was boring because we’ve seen it a thousand times before (the Intercontinental Champion loses AGAIN) or boring AND bad (the “American flag” plant or shilling about the Kansas City Royals ALL drat NIGHT).

This is the first time I can remember switching over to Monday Night Football, and I switched over right when the Steelers went into Beast Mode and annihilated the Texans. The onside kick to end the game was more entertaining and memorable than anything on RAW last night.

But he is a dummy King! Literally, Dean Ambrose has a dummy in the ring right now. There is an actual Seth Rollins dummy, right there that Dean Ambrose is addressing.

Maybe if I'm part of that mob, I can help steer it in wise directions.
How the WWE tried to sell Rusev hitting one of his signature moves on a fan rushing the ring as real I'll never know. Why not have Rusev actually punch the guy or do ANYTHING that isn't a wrestling maneuver? At least the fans would have bought it a bit more. Once he hit the super kick it was obvious to everyone that it was a plant.

I assume it's because they don't want fans actually storming the ring, so making it clear that it's a work might discourage attention whores from copy-catting their thing

It was a guy in army fatigues trying to stop Rusev from pulling down the US flag. Having Rusev beat up a military man is definitely a heel move.

There was a military guy who was supposed to go into the ring and throw Rusev out in a scripted segment, but Rusev decided to shoot on him and gave him a legit neck injury. You got the scoop here first.

Haha, wow. They really shouldn't book anything where a fan jumping the railing is meant to be a heroic act. Unless they are debuting a wrestler that way, it sets a really bad precedent. I bet most wrestlers hated the segment but didn't want to speak up.

It's really funny to me that tearing down the American Flag is verboten but depicting an American soldier in the loving face is A-OK.

I'm not complaining for the record everything about Rusev has ruled since day one. I wish he'd talk less though, it was better when Lana would do the talking and he'd say some things in Russian for some quick cheap heat.

That time he went on a rant about anuses was great though so :shrug:

quote:



Multiple web sites including PWinsider.com reported this afternoon that Fit Finlay had been released due to an incident at the Friday night house show in Champaign, IL. In contacting a couple of people in WWE, they believed the story to be true.

We had gotten a live report from the show noting The Miz come out and stopped the playing of the national anthem to get easy heel heat prior to a title defense against Randy Orton that would open the show.

Apparently reprsentatives of the Army National Guard, a WWE sponsor, were upset they would use the anthem for cheap heat. Since Finlay was in charge of laying out the show, and thus would have made the final call on the idea, he was the one let go.
