Ok, So I come out of the shadows where I've been lurking a lot (hi!), cap in hand asking for a bit of help. See I've had a crappy year and while I wont (or don't need to) go into detail on it, the consequences have been that for the past 6 months or so I've not been paying attention PCW at all (oh the irony). So I need a bit of a catch up. This is where I request your aid.
I need to know what's been going on in PCW the last few months, probably from around the last Iceys. But I don't want to take up too much of your time, so just let me know what's been going on in PCW in relation to your own character(s). Also lets everybody have a chance to derail assist in this thread. no, I was probably right the first time with derail.
So yeah... a little help?

Grimm shaved and is now an uber-face, Phinehas “The Dandy Lion” Dillinger. He wears tailored suits, eats only premium meats and artisan cheeses, and lives on a fine country estate where he tends his many gardens.
Just kidding. Grimm is still Grimm. He had a feud with Whitey Ford and Seromine at one point, and just wrapped up his most recent one with Johnny V.

I can certainly assist in terms of the Underground Title scene...
See, Loki stripped Gabriel of the Underground Championship due to him holding it in conjunction with the North American Championship. A Round Robin Tournament was held with the winner taking home the Underground Championship. The competitors were Dominator, Alexa Black, High Tide and Crazy Boy. The tournament went into sudden death between High Tide and Dominator, which Dominator eventually came out the victor. Gabriel would then attack Dominator, claiming the belt to still belong to him, leading to a grudge match which Dominator also won, along with a successful defense of his championship against Hiroshi Yukio.
That's the Underground scene in a nutshell.

I made a new logo, and it's fucking fantastic! That's about it. Oh, actually: Stormm won a lawsuit and counter suit against PCW as it pertained to his short-lived "return" last year after his broken collar bone was surgically repaired, and they tried to force him into dangerous competition too soon. Mostly as it pertained to the Underground title match he was put into at the last PPV he was booked at in 2016, and he no-showed, not wanting to futher injure himself. After PCW and Stormm settled out of court, he was all but done with PCW or even wrestling itself, until... Jonathan Matthews, better known as Johnny Vivacious proposed that Stormm accept a new deal with PCW that they were proposing during settlement agreement, having just walked into the meeting uninvited. This of course was a shock to the Force of Nature, but if Johnny V was trying to get him to return, that could only mean one thing, he was returning as well. The two returned at Deadly Intentions, Johnny on the mic, and Stormm, later in the evening in the Deadly Rumble. The two returns were SUPPOSED to coincide with one another, but PCW and their technical difficulties, they played the wrong theme music when Stormm entered the rumble. They would correct this injustice on the following Trauma as the duo debuted as co-hosts of the old, long-time running segment, Club Vivacious. Regardless of all that, Stormm finished 3rd in the Deadly Rumble, which was supposed to put in a match the following Trauma against the 4th place finished for an Underground #1 contender spot. However, Seromine (who had won the World title match earlier in the evening), and Gabriel (who had won the NA title match that night as well), finished #1 and #2. This changed the stipulation slightly, and Stormm and the 4th place finisher in the Rumble, Kyle Shane, squared off one on one to determine the #1 contenders for the World and North American titles. Stormm would lose this match, despite being the one who eliminated Shane from the Deadly Rumble, putting him as the #1 contender for Gabriel's North American title. Given the nature of Justin's return, and Seromine being a prime target for the Force of Nature, Gabriel would be the next best target. You see, he came back with the ultimate goal trying of putting an end to the cult leader facade around Seromine, a name Justin refuses to speak, as he can only refer to by his real name, Jason Willard. This would be his goal against Gabriel, another name Stormm cringes saying, as he hopes to break the false exterior of Rick Majors. So, last night, at Collision Course, Justin would go up against Gabriel in one of the best matches of the evening, trying to break the false persona away, and in the end, would make Gabriel tap out, and walk out of the PPV as the new (and 2-time) North American Champion. Oh, and by the way, Notorious, being of the minds that those two are, decided that whoever the World champ was at the end of the show didn't deserve the championship, and stole that from under EVERYONE'S noses during the main event. They would pop up on the big screen during the frenzy of trying to find the belt, and really put their stamp on things, claiming the belt for themselves.

Johnny Vivacious was last seen at PCW’s Living a Legacy IV, when he threw the final match of The Icemann Invitational Tournament against “Puro Power” Kaijin Shinryo. While he had made his intentions to lose very clear prior to the event, instead of allowing himself to be pinned, counted out or submitting to the Tsumirugawa Clutch, he passed out.
On October 16, 2017, at Pure Class Wrestling’s Deadly Intentions pay-per-view event, fans were surprised by Vivacious’ return. While they would have preferred to see him enter the Deadly Rumble, he was only there to host it and announce the first two entrants.
The very next Trauma event, Club Vivacious returned for All Hallows Eve and Vivacious dropped two more bombshell announcements. The first, he had not returned to PCW alone, he had aligned himself as Notorious with his brother-in-law, a former holder of multiple PCW championships, Justin “Stormm” Michaels; the second, he challenged the longest tenured, most decorated superstar in PCW history, Grimm.
Grimm quickly responded, that same night, delivering an ominous gift outside of Vivacious’ locker room. Vivacious found a note pinned to a pumpkin by a skinning knife that simply said, “YOU”, scratched out in scrawled handwriting.
The next Trauma (#221) event, Vivacious admits that he may have bitten off more than he could chew, but so what, the least he could do was make an ass-kicking entertaining. Vivacious paid an enhancement talent (Rick O’Shae), with a striking resemblance of Grimm, to face him in the opening match.
Grimm actually came out of the locker room, picked up a microphone and showed Vivacious he could provoke a reaction from the crowd just as easily. What?! Right?! Go watch it on YouTube!
The last Trauma before Collision Course, Vivacious continued to taunt Grimm on Club V. He and Stormm had a disagreement over his inviting Kyle Shane to Club V. He defeated Tyrone Smith.
Grimm defeated Razor Blade and then, in the confusion following the main event, he abducted Vivacious from ringside. There's rumors he put Vivacious in an underground bunker over the Thanksgiving (US) weekend, but neither confirm it.
Then Collision Course and I hope you pick up reading from there.

After the last Iceys Kyle Shane lost the Underground title in a tag match where he wasn't told his belt was going to be on the line, but in his hubris, he said he could take on anybody, so some authority figure we don't see on the shows much came out and announced that he had to defend it that night. Kyle was double teamed and his partner, Seromine, left him hanging and Non Compos Mentis, took the belt. This was kind of the opening shot of a cold war with Seromine and his followers for Kyle.
Kyle was directionless for a few weeks and had a small feud with Grimm. Determined to get back on track, Kyle set his sights on the main event. He had a fun little series with Whitey Ford, he pinned the champion in a tag match, and me and Whitey had some to me, hilarious segments backstage. Everyone thought this was leading to Whitey versus Kyle in a face versus face match. But I pulled a swerve.
Using his TIIT contract to get a title match at any champion, any time, Kyle waited until the end of a match between Whitey (World champ) and Gabriel (North American champ). This match ended in DQ and Gabriel was weakened. Suddenly Kyle announced he was cashing in... on Gabriel. A quick finisher and a pin and Kyle did what nobody else had done yet and used TIIT to capture the second tier title.
Reasoning that he was trying to make the belt mean something and that he was elevating his way to the World title. However, at Deadly Intentions, cheap tactics allowed Gabriel to steal the belt back. And Kyle lost his chance for a World title shot in the Rumble, which controversially, Seromine and Gabriel won, with Seromine being the last.
Feeling locked out of the World title scene and frustrated, Kyle cut a scathing promo on the followers. The cold war was heating up since Kyle had been screwed by Gabriel. The few minor interactions Kyle had had with Seromines cult were turning into a big thing. Kyle saw Seeomine as the final boss.
Authority figure guy came back and announced that Kyle Shane versus Justin Stormm Michael's would main event Trauma. Winner got a World title shot. Loser got a North American title shot. Stormm and his Notorious cohort Johnny V in their Club V segment severely downplayed the accomplishments of Kyle Shane and wrote him off. This proved to be overconfident. Kyle Shane knocked Stormm off to become number one contender. In the next few Trauma, Kyle would go on Club V himself and talk about his motivation for the World title match at Collision Course.
The World title match was coming a year after his PCW debut at Collision Course 2016. And to him, it was the perfect way to cap off his year by winning the World title.
Club V shat on him a little bit and made the entire segment about what they had done previous, which furthered tensions between Stormm and Kyle. They teamed up to face Seromine and Gabriel, Kyle got the win, all of them then were on the receiving end of a beat down by the followers.
Finally at Collision Course, Kyle overcame interference from Destiny Willard and fought a classic against Seromine, felling him with One for My Baby to win the PCW World title, finishing the year off strong, achievement unlocked. Until, Notorious couldn't let Kyle have his moment, they jumped Kyle and absconded with the belt. Now he is going to have to come for it.
