"BROKEN RESOLUTION" 

IS COMING JANUARY 1, 2O24

This is AFR Steve and welcome to another segment of The Carnival Carnage Report. My colleague, Keith @ PLAAY got the scoop from the Schorr's about "Broken Resolution."

Keith: "The Schorr's announced their will be a men's and women's Royal Rumble match at the event. Their will be two under card events with one featuring my  partner AFR Steve. The big news is that the rest of the events will be to title belt matches for The Heavyweight Title and Tag Team Title in both the men's and women's divisions. There will be cage, object, and grudge matches at this first big event. The General Manager will be speaking before the event starts with some news on a project The General Manager and the Schorr's have been working on."

In the first match, Sally "The Rally" Nation was defeated by Liv Vivacious as Liv dragged Sally into the concession stands to use her finisher "High Life" Stalling Piledriver.

Commissioner  Schorr interviewed Angelica San Miguel as Laurence Davis heard unwanted comments being made by the Commish. Angelica tells Schorr, "Shut your mouth" as Schorr leaves the ring. Jeanette Atlas throws Angelica San Miguel out of the ring into her valet/wannabe boyfriend Laurence Davis. Angelica could not make it back into the ring in time and was counted out by the referee.

Bolt Bickford d. Chuck Splatter quickly as he threw Splatter out of the ring. He takes a trash can cover and hits Splatter numerous times over the back and Splatter could not recover. The referee counts out Splatter.

The tag team of Pain for Fame faced off against the team called Vicious Velocity. Again, Schorr is speaking with the wrestlers and tells Pain for Fame to have a great match. Vicious Velocity look on in disgust. Darius Caesar of Pain for Fame gets injured during the match and Count Hammeril von Fluke has to continue on his own. Mister Henderson of Vicious Velocity tags Force of Nature and Nature uses his specialty move "Down to Earth" Lifting Mat Slam to bring on his finisher "Natural Disaster" Torture Rack to defeat Pain for Fame.

Chuck Splatter and Beard-O team up to meet the team of Star Struck. Colorful Romero of Star Struck uses his finisher "Jaw Jacker" Belly-to-Belly Piledriver w/Oaths to defeat Beard-O.

Big Bang (Bolt Bickford and Planet Caffey) entered the ring to face The Unknowns (The Seventh Sense and The Mind Reader). Big Bang took over the match and The Unknowns were in a daze and did not know what hit them. Planet Caffey d. Mind Reader with his finisher of "Atmospheric Pressure" a Elevated Hammerlock.

The Main Event was Jason Dedmond against Count Hammeril Von Fluker. During the event the referee was knocked out and no referee took over. Jason pins the Count in fast fashion. Jason takes the TV camera and shows Fluker flaying about on the match as the crowd applauds. The referee wakes ups and announces Dedmond the winner of the match.

At the Carnival Carnage interview I interviewed Jason Dedmond and Bolt Bickford and congratulated them on their upcoming title bout at "Broken Resolutions."

This is AFR Steve and Keith @ PLAAY signing off.

MEN'S QUARTER FINALS

Chuck Splatter d. The Mind Reader as Splatter had to deal with the Shrink, Inc. tactics as they kept obscuring the referee's vision and causing The Mind Reader to have a pin attempt which Splatter kicked out of. Splatter was so tired of the antics he throws The Mind Reader into Dr. Terminal and The Seventh Sense and drags The Mind Reader through the fans into the concession area and pins The Mind Reader.

Count Hammeril von Fluke continued with his antics of stirring up the crown with his hand gestures entering the ring. Force of Nature enters the ring as Darius Caesar sings praise to him. The fans were not sure who to boo for, but started booing Force of Nature due to his gross misconduct in the ring which I can not even mention in this article.  The referee was tired of the misconduct and DQ'd Force of Nature as the fans cheered for the referee.

Jason Dedmond faced Beard-O in this next match as Howard Schorr entered the ring and made a statement to the wrestlers ring side that he was happy how these group of wrestlers were acting. Each wrestler was given a TV rating bump.

During the match, the referee was bumped and Hector Puleo took over. Jason pins Beard-O quickly with this advantage. After the match, Howard Schorr was not happy with Jason Dedmond and decreased his TV appearances and rating. Jason was furious with the Commissioner and was staring at someone ring side who I and Keith @ PLAAY did not recognize.

The women joined us a Blood, Sweat, and Fears as tag team Vertigo; Sally Nation and Wet Blanket faced Foreign Exchange; Joanie Nakamura and Angelica San Miguel. Laurence Davis was following Angelica around like a lost puppy. 

Howard Schorr was seen speaking with Foreign Exchange and it was told to me by fans near them that Schorr said that if the Exchange win the Vertigo will lose their grudge grades.  Sally Nation tosses Joanie out of the ring and finds a rubber hose under the ring.  She hits Joanie repeatedly with it until the ref stops her. However, Joanie cannot reenter the ring and the referee counts Foreign Exchange out and Vertigo wins.

During Carnival Carnage interview with Vertigo. The Unbreakables; Anna Banningham and Lexxie Lissome, made anti-American comments about Vertigo. This upset team Vertigo and they declared a grudge TV match in their championship match at "Broken Resolutions."

The Main Even was Bolt Bickford versus Mr. Henderson. Mr. Henderson was frustrated during this match as Bolt kept slapping him in the face. Henderson threw Bolt out of the ring. While out of the ring, Bolt Bickford got a good hold on Mr. Henderson and threw him onto our announcer's table pinning him.

I am AFR Steve Tower and this was another segment of Carnival Carnage.

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME

AFR Steve here for another BSF Wrestling Federation Report. I and Kurt Engel were not ready for our match with Creeper Tod Crawley and Dr. Terminal as we had only a week of practice and conditioning. Before the match, Commissioner Howard Schorr came into the ring and warned Crawley and Terminal to stop bringing the fans to a frenzy.

Crawley stuns the crowd as he pins Kurt Engel and we lost the match. Afterwards, in the post match interview, Bolt Bickford had words to say about Crawley which stirred up Crawley. Crawley grabbed the microphone and challenged Bolt to a cage match in the their match tonight and challenged Kurt Engel and I to a cage match at "Broken Resolutions" on January 1, 2024. I accepted the challenge.

Bolt Bickford d. Creeper Crawley in fast fashion with a pin within three minutes of the match. During the interview session Bolt said he was ready for Mr. Henderson in his next scheduled match. Creeper Tod Crawley spoke to Keith @ PLAAY after the match and said he was part of Shrink, Inc with Doctor Terminal, The Mind Reader, and Seventh Sense as they entered the ring for The Mind Reader's match against Outlaw Rowdy.

Bad News Barrie stopped The Mind Reader from taking a cheap shot at Outlaw Rowdy during the match. The Seventh Sense added to the Shrink, Inc tactics as he kept doing embarrassing things to Bad News Barrie upsetting him. Barrie was sick of the tactics and left the ring telling the Schorr's to tighten up the BSF and this antics. The referee counted Barrie out and The Mind Reader won.

Celebrity Lady Gaga was in the house and insulted the Force of Nature before the match.  This action got Force of Nature to pin The Predicament in fast fashion.

Count Hammeril Von Fluke made his entrance to taunting fans as he taunted them back with his hand gestures. The Count used his finisher on Planet Caffey the "Count's Claw" Iron Claw.  Bruno Biltwell was ring side and he told the Count, "Get ready for Bruno the Barber Biltwell as I going to shave that silly mustache off of you when I get the chance to face you."

During my interview with Chuck Splatter, Splatter challenges Bruno Biltwell to object match right now. Chuck must of been mad about the comments made by Biltwell earlier as he throws Biltwell out of the ring and used his finisher "Clean-up on Aisle 7" for the win.

Beard-O d. Hector Puleo in a back-and-forth match. A fan was squashed as Puleo threw Beard-O out of the ring and into the stands. Tessa Meyers-Ingalls, TMI, did not like the move and hits Hector Puleo over the head with a microscope she had ring side. That gave Beard-O to do his finishing move "History Repeats Itself" Double Elbow Drop on Puleo for the win. Professor Corey Schellenberger (Beard-O) leaves the ring in a hurry with TMI following him closely.

The Main Event was The Seventh Sense versus Jason Dedmond. The Mind Reader and The Seventh Sense attack Jason before the match. Hector Puleo was not happy with their actions and waited until the match started to toss The Seventh Sense out of the ring when the referee was distracted by Dr. Terminal outbursts ring side. The Seventh Sense did not return in time and the referee counted him out. Emerson Schorr was displeased about the actions of Jason Dedmond and Hector Puleo and questions their toughness and heart. Jason and Hector got in a yelling and shoving match with the President. Security came in and stopped the two parties.

This is The Carnival Carnage Report. AFR Steve signing out.

BLOOD, SWEAT, AND FEARS WRESTLING FEDERATION

Welcome to another edition of the Carnival Carnage Report by AFR Steve.

Card 002 action started with Bolt Bickford d. Dokie Dust Oakley with his "Coastal Carolina Tidal Wave" Body Press. Planet Caffey was not happy with comments about Bickford's tactics that were made after the match.

The Head Trip faced The Predicament in the next match. The Predicament used his "Early Retirement" Ring Rope finisher to d. Head Trip. Jason Dedmond was watching the match and liked what he saw from The Predicament and became The Predicament's ally in BSF.

Planet Caffey threw Judge Joe Ridge out of the ring and grabbed a lead pipe from under the ring and hit Judge Joe over his left shoulder. Judge Joe could not recover and Planet Caffey wins on count out.

Jason Dedmond was stirring up the crowd and seemed over confident before the match against Binghun Yee. Dedmond pins Yee after a failed attempt of his finisher move.

I had a interview with semi-retired Kurt Engel who was a former Olympic Gold Medalist in wrestling. Kurt spoke about coming back to wrestling. Creeper Tod Crawley interrupted the interview saying Kurt is a has-been and should not return. Crawley issued a tag team challenge to Kurt and myself to face him and Dr. Terminal. Before I could say anything, Kurt accepted the challenge.

Darius Caesar faced Mister Henderson in the next match.  The match was going back-and-forth until Force of Nature came into the ring and helped Mister Henderson soften up Darius as Henderson used his finisher, "Code 66" Neck Twist on Darius Caesar.

The Main Event was Grady from '80 against Beard-O. Beard-O interrupted Grady's entrance by taking over the PA system. This upset Grady and he took it to Beard-O and missed on his finisher. Beard-O took advantage of the miss and used his finisher "History Repeats Itself" Double Elbow Drop to defeat Grady. TMI, Beard-O's valet, hugged Beard-O after the match, however Beard-O shrugged her off. Grady watched this as he was beside himself for letting Beard-O win the match and move on in the tournament.
