- Showtime I: Steve Rogers vs. Mud Monster

Anyone have some background on this Mud Monster character?

Hrm. Well, the early days of the EMWC were a weird time. You may recall that back then, there was seemingly new feds opening every day and all of them were fighting over the same handlers. Most of them had to settle for newbies and Sabin Figaro. The E would be one of those places who happily took a guy like me who had no experience in the game and offered up a character who was a blatant Lex Luger ripoff.

So, you would see some really weird gimmicks and characters back in those days as you probably recall.

Mud Monster was one of those. And to be honest, he really didn't stick around the E long enough for me to recall much about him. It didn't, however, dissuade me from creating a character called Mud Monster Jr. at one point. MMJ was... I suppose a sort of Ultimate Warrior type gimmick... but didn't really last long.

I guess the real question is - why do you ask such a thing?

Some guy I never heard of named "Mud Monster" main events a Showtime? Who wouldn't be curious about that?

Your post didn't really answer much though. For starters, was he actually mad of mud? And was it his crazy mat skills or mad promo ability that propelled him to the top of the Mighty E?

I honestly don't have enough to a recollection to tell you. Those early days of EMWC shows were very light on details so there's a decent chance that it never was actually stated.

I'll give you a little story that should provide some insight... and some entertainment.

I'm not sure I've ever actually told this story before but as most people know, I joined the E before it launched so I was on the "ground floor" when it opened. I submitted three characters - the aforementioned Lex Luger ripoff in Narcissus (now Colt Patterson), a Yokozuna type in the massive Tsunami, and a tag team that came from a dice-based wrestling game my friend and I created when we were younger, Ripper and Nightclaw, The Rapturers.

Now, the main titles were to be filled at the very first Showtime which would host a tournament.

I never got that show.

In fact, to this day, I've never seen Showtime I. I know a handful of results (obviously) but I never saw or read the show itself.

After waiting and waiting for the show, I finally wrote Adam and asked if the show had come out or what was going on with it and he replied, "Yeah, it came out. You won the IC Title with Narcissus."

Hey, how 'bout that!

I can also remember the summer after my freshman year of college (when I joined the E) and making my mom drive me to campus under the pretense that I needed to run some errands... but in reality, spending most of the time in the computer lab reading EMWC shows that had come out while I was gone. Even then, an e-w addict willing to lie, cheat, and steal to feed his habit.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

Well, it's your show now. You should totally write the "Showtime I: The Directors Cut" show for posterity!

Would you accept an app for Mud Monster III?
