Match observations: 

       A week after the Big Fight, business as usual continues in VCW, as 
matches were set up for the next VCW pay-per-view extravaganza, Random 
Casualties, which will take place on April 18.  Tonight's show was very 
revealing in terms of expanding upon the alliances, or lack thereof, that exist
between major VCW superstars, as well as the personal rivalries between many of
VCW's wrestlers.
       After some (thankfully short) silliness between Rex Richards and 
Haigeikobai, Hunk Higgins gave a somewhat long-winded speech, in which he 
demanded respect for his status as one of the founding fathers of wrestling... 
which made little to no sense. He then went on to challenge Ruby Richard Cage, 
totally disgust everybody with a secret aspect of his relationship with Bretta 
"The Barmaid" Biffcork, and perform the unimpressive feat of defeating Yoko 
Fargo Moto of the Oriental Express.
       Russel "The Muscle" Taylor is the newest addition to the VCW talent 
roster, and he is a very strong, healthy, young athlete who is unfortunately so
behind-the-times in terms of attitude that it makes Richard Tobian look like 
Steve Austin. Also, he hangs around with Teddy Long... which is NEVER a good 
sign. His VCW debut was celebrated in an unceremonious loss to the Torturer in 
a minute and a half.
       The Bull Moose Party is gaining ground in the tag team division with a 
solid victory over the Manhunters... they are undisputably very big and strong,
with a good deal of wrestling talent as well... but they are two of the 
STRANGEST characters in VCW, and that's saying something. Recently, they have 
been lobbying for more speaking time in VCW... time will tell, but with their 
latest success, they may get it.
       The Immortals' claims of tag team greatness may be well-founded, as they 
picked up a big win over the Annihilators and Hell's Bikers in a triangle 
match, with Ken Collins picking up the pinfall victory over Jeff Wright. Next 
week, Robert Danson has signed to meet Tim Bell for the VCW Television Title...
which is all well and good, but Ken Collins has also signed to meet Gabriel 
Black for the World Title next week... a definite mismatch, judging by the 
records of each man. Time will tell, but considering Gabriel Black's record, 
this doesn't look promising for Ken Collins.
       Jacob Idol and Marylin Silvera have evidently put aside their 
differences and formed a tag team, the Beautiful People. Although a pairing of 
talented wrestlers like this definitely shows promise, their debut match was 
less than spectacular, as they were squashed by the returning Wrecking Crew. 
There will be other matches, and other chances to pick up victories, and more 
likely than not, this one loss won't stop the Beautiful People from becoming a 
major tag team force.
       Moy Lazzario of the Inquisition decided to try to take back the VCW 
Television Title, and tried to accomplish this by insulting current champion 
Tim Bell, knowing full well that he wouldn't back down from a challenge to his 
dignity as champion. However, the final part of the plan, actually defeating 
Tim Bell in the ring, proved to be too difficult for Moy Lazzario, as Tim Bell 
eventually defeated him to retain the VCW Television Title.
       Melissa DelArmeggio finally became fed up with David Wright Hubbard this 
week, and called him out for a match. Instead, Rex Richards and a mini version 
of David Wright Hubbard came to the ring to distract her while the real David 
Wright Hubbard snuck into the ring through the crowd. David Wright Hubbard 
outwrestled and overpowered Melissa to pick up the victory, then proceeded to 
beat her up and humiliate her after the match, as he has done many times 
before. This time, however, Melissa didn't need anybody to come to her rescue; 
she rallied and fought off David Wright Hubbard by herself. They then agreed to
a cage match at Random Casualties to settle the score between them.            
       Liberation X seems to be in turmoil, as Falcon deliberately passed over 
the Annihilators to give a VCW World Tag Team Title shot to himself and Troy 
Black, in the name of promoting unity between himself and Troy Black. The 
Annihilators resented this, naturally. In spite of Melissa DelArmeggio's feeble
attempts to mediate the personality conflict between Falcon and Troy Black, the
lack of trust still hangs thick between them, and it came to a head at the main
event, when Troy Black used the Torturer's axe handle to hit Owen Addison and 
win the VCW World Tag Team Titles for his team. Falcon became upset at what he
perceived as an alliance between Troy Black and the Inquisition, and eventually
attacked Troy Black. However, with a little help from the Torturer, Troy Black 
laid out Falcon and the Annihilators, and left them with the spoken message 
that he really CAN'T be trusted.
       The questions raised by tonight's matches may be answered next week, 
when Troy Black and Falcon will meet the Annihilators in for the VCW World Tag 
Team Titles, and Ken Collins will challenge Gabriel Black for the World Title. 
In addition, Richard Tobian, DeJohnnyration X and the Golden Society will be 
present, and Tim Bell will take on Robert Danson for the VCW Television Title.
