Its a beautiful day at the
beach. Little kids run by the camera before it focuses on a volley ball net in
the distance. Four women walk up to the net, and we see they are Psycho Sandra,
Riona Langly, Sabine, and Circa. Sandra has a cd player with her, and as we hear
sea gulls in the background, she puts it down.
Riona: Ok girls, ready to get this party
started?
They all smile as they pick teams, and go on opposite sides. Sabine holds the
ball up to serve, and Sandra presses play on the cd player. Everything goes into
slow motion as "Pour Some Sugar on Me" begins to play. After a few
shots of them playing volley ball, we move to the four laying on towel in the
sun. This is followed by a scene of them in the water having a water fight. It
is at this point the camera begins to pan back. It stops outside a small open
building that says Life Guard on the side. We flash inside to see a pair of
binoculars focused on the ladies. The camera pulls back a little more to show
the man is PX, wearing his mask and red shorts.
PX: Man I love my job.
Without looking away, PX reaches down, and pulls up a bottle of lotion. He plops
it down on the table next to him as we fade out of the building. The camera
looks up to the sun, and the logo for PWA Summer Silzzer appears!

August
15th, 2008
Live on PPV from the America West Arena - Phoenix, Arizona
McDaniel: Welcome everyone to Summer Sizzler, the PWA's Second grandest event! We have nine ROCKING matches for you, and by order of the President, we're going to our first match, NOW!
Rentfro: NOW? But I made note cards!!!
OPENING
CONTEST
Viktor Stone vs. Corey Lazarus

McDaniel: That looks PAINFUL!
Rentfro: Corey doesn't look too lucky right now, but he's so close to that bottom rope!Corey grabs a hold of the bottom rope for dear life and Stone is forced to let go. He gets Corey up to his feet, but Corey counters with some elbows to Stone's stomach. Corey backs up Stone a bit and then mows him down with a clothesline. Stone gets back up, and Corey takes him back down with another lariat. Stone is back up to his feet almost immediately and Corey telegraphs a dropkick, but the Stone holds back. Corey lands on the mat, and then Stone puts Corey's legs underneath his arms. He steps over to his right, putting Corey on his belly. The Stone bends down at the knees and wrenches Corey's legs backwards, putting him a vicious Boston Crab.
McDaniel: Oh man! The ref is down there to see if Corey wants to tap out...
Rentfro: I don't think Corey knows the meaning...Moments later, backstage at the
America West Arena, heading down one of the hallways when you spot a
trio chatting away by catering.
The mask gives away the identity of El Rey de Corazones, while his
stature informs you that the other man is "Nightmare"
Jonathon Wehali. The lovely young woman with whom Jon is flirting
quite successfully is PWA Interviewer Toshi Yang. The King of Hearts
watches the other two with a grin when Toshi and Jonathon laugh over
a joke you do not get.
It's not the first time nor the last.
Noticing your presence Toshi smiles and produces a microphone.
Toshi: "We are mere minutes away from the big match, the final
match of this United Forces Tournament, and we're here with one of
the two teams competing for the PWA Tag Team Titles. What are your
thoughts going into Summer Sizzler, gentlemen?"
Nightmare: "Gentlemen? Why so serious, Toshi?"
Jonathon chuckles while Toshi blushes lightly and shrugs, lofting
the mic to indicate she's on the job.
Nightmare: "What do we think? What have we noticed? I'll tell
you."
"For all their boasting and swaggering, for all the time
they've shot off their mouths against all their other opponents,
neither Project-X nor Psycho Sandra have said a damn thing since we
spoke."
"To say we're disappointed in you two would be a major
understatement. You were supposed to be the team to beat. You were
supposed to be two fierce combatants out to win at all costs."
"But what do we get?"
Jon looks to his partner.
El Rey: "Nada."
"Nothing."
"¿Cuál es incorrecto, embroma? ¿Donante para arriba ya? ¿Interesado
no más en tomar los títulos de la etiqueta? ¿Ese fuego en su
"What's wrong, kids? Giving up already? No longer interested in
taking the tag titles? That fire in your soul suddenly burn out when
faced with real competition?"
"No hemos dado para arriba. No estamos a punto de entregarse, aún
menos a usted dos. No hay manera que usted va a hacernos sacudida en
la toalla, aún menos golpea ligeramente hacia fuera."
"We haven't given up. We're not about to surrender, let alone
to you two. There's no way you're going to make us toss in the
towel, let alone tap out."
Nightmare: "No, we're damn focused on beating the Hell out of
you two and becoming the new PWA Tag Team Champions to end this
tournament. We may even knock you out, something you'll never manage
against El Rey and I."
"What's more, we're going to look damn good doing it too.
Better than you could ever dream of being, P-X."
The King of Hearts flashes a smirk while Nightmare winks to Toshi,
causing her to giggle and blush softly.
El Rey: "¿Si usted no tiene la tripa para hacer frente a
hechos, para hacer frente a la verdad, para hacer frente al
futuro… para hacernos frente? Entonces usted puede también apenas
lanzar sus hombros sobre la estera y deja al árbitro hacer que
cuenta
"If you don't have the guts to face facts, to face the truth,
to face the future... to face us? Then you may as well just throw
your shoulders onto the mat and let the referee make that
one-two-three count. It'll be a lot less fun for us, but a lot less
painful for you."
"Mejore todavía, incluso no incomode el aparecer en
absoluto."
"Better yet, don't even bother showing up at all."
Nightmare: "Because now? There is only one thing you two will
be, and that's neither victorious nor champions."
"All you will be is just another two victims."
The duo lock gazes with you, their eyes filled with unwavering
confidence and determination.
Nightmare: "It's simply a fate from which... there is no
escape."
PWA
TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP
MATCH
Moke Doshky (c) vs. Kyle Malone
Eric Emerson: Ladies and gentlemen, Kyle Stevenson could not make it here tonight and thus has been removed from the TV title match.
McDaniel: What a shame. He has potential, he just never uses it.
Rentfro: It'll be a better match without him, trust me.LADDER
MATCH
Scott Nash Strader vs. Evan Black
DING! DING! DING!
Eric Emerson:
"This contest will be a ladder match and will continue until one of the
wrestlers can climb the ladder and retrieve the briefcase that is suspended
above the ring."
Round and Round by Aerosmith begins to play over the PWA sound system and out
walks Scott Nash Strader.
Eric Emerson:
"Introducing first all the way from the Strader Estate in Houston, Texas;
he stands at 6 feet 10 inches and weighs in at 295 pounds... he is Scott Nash
Strader!"
Rentfro:
"SNS in the house."
McDaniel:
"Folks, we have an awesome match in store for you tonight."
Eric Emerson:
"Introducing first all the way from
"Psycho" by Puddle of Mudd hits the sound system and Evan Black walks
out to a huge ovation. He is wearing black tights and a custom Evan Black
t-shirt. He walks down to the ring and jumps in quickly, climbing the top ropes
and throwing the shirt into the crowd. He jumps off and turns to face his
opponent.
DING! DING! DING!
The two stand and face each other as the briefcase rises higher and higher away
from them. Evan Black is watching the rising object when out of nowhere he is
attacked by SNS and taken down to the mat with an arm bar. SNS is up quickly
with an elbow drop to the exposed arm. SNS uses the ropes for a springboard back flip
that catches nothing but mat; he stands up. Evan with a spinning heel kick that
spins SNS around making him land on his back. Evan is quickly spring boarding
off the ropes with a guillotine leg drop across the throat of his opponent. He
is back up and delivers a kick to the ribs of SNS, followed by a stomp kick
stomp combination that is leaving huge red welps on the side of SNS.
McDaniel:
"Both of these men working fast early."
Rentfro:
"They had better because when that ladder comes into play, it is an energy
sucker. It'll suck the energy right out of their bodies."
SNS is whipped into the ropes and Black delivers a standing dropkick to the face
of Strader who stumbles back into the ropes. Black grabs the wrist of SNS and
whips him back into the ropes. As SNS is coming back, Black hits the mat front
first, and SNS runs over him. Black is up quickly and hitting the mat on his
back, he plants his feet into the gut of SNS and propels him towards the top
rope and to the floor; SNS twists in mid air and lands on his feet just inside
the ropes.
Rentfro:
"What a move, John, did you see that?"
McDaniel:
"Yeah, Brian, I did. Do I believe it, nope, but I did see it."
Rentfro:
"Evan has no idea Strader is still in the ring."
Evan is up grinning and turns to the outside where he charges with a
clothesline; he is back body dropped to the outside by SNS. Strader turns around
and grabs the ropes, he nods to the crowd and springboards to the outside and
onto Evan Black with a shooting star press.
Crowd: "We want ladders(clap,
clap, clap clap clap) We want ladders(clap, clap, clap clap clap)"
McDaniel:
"The fans telling Strader and Black what they want."
Rentfro:
"Yeah and it sounds like they want them now."
SNS is up and holding his injured ribs, but still climbs to the top rope. He
leaps and flips 360 degrees in the air landing on Evan with mainly knees; it
drives the wind out of both men.
McDaniel:
"Did you..."
Rentfro:
"What a move by SNS there, but did it do more damage to himself or Black?
What does he want?"
Scott is up and getting Brian Rentfro's chair out from under him. He walks back
over to where Evan is laying on the ground and hits the prone figure in the head
a couple of times n the head for good measure. He climbs the turnbuckle chair in
hand before leaping from the top with the chair like a skateboard under his
feet. He lands hard on the concrete as Black just manages to roll out of the
way; Scott stumbles back from the impact and Evan Black hits a dropkick to the
back of Strader's head, mashing his face between the ring post and the heel of
his own boots.
Rentfro:
"Getting up close and personal with the ring post there."
Both men lay on the floor exhausted from the high impact moves; Evan winded and
Scott bleeding.
Crowd: "Get the ladder(clap,
clap, clap clap clap) Get the ladder(clap, clap, clap clap clap)"
Both men get to their feet wearily, they see that the other is up and their
bodies seem to have been renewed by electricity as they begin to trade vicious
rights and lefts at each other around the ring. They are at the ring steps when
Black places a knee to the gut of SNS doubling the head of the Straders over.
Black is up on the railing and off with a springboard knee to the back of
Strader's head with a modified fameasser. A loud crunching noise is heard from
those at ringside.
Rentfro:
"Did you hear that crunch?"
McDaniel:
"I did and I think Strader can add another broken nose to his growing list
of injuries."
Evan looks at the railing, then the ladder, then the prone form of SNS, he
decides to go for the ladder while his opponent is down. As Black walks towards
the ladder, SNS is up and in a crouching position behind the ring steps. Evan
slides the ladder into the ring and SNS launches himself at Black a volley of
right and left handed closed fists onto the head and face of Black; driving the
man backwards. The two land on the floor with SNS ontop of the man in a modified
Lou Thesz press. SNS picks up Black from the floor and quickly plants the man
with his Scotch Valley Driver; he stumbles towards the ring and crawls in. He
sets up the ladder and begins the long climb to the top; blood is pouring down
his face, but he is grinning broadly.
Rentfro:
"Look at the face of Strader."
McDaniel:
"He is enjoying the match."
Black has crawled back into the ring and dropkicks the ladder, causing the metal
to land on top of SNs, driving the wind back out of him. Black is back up after
the dropkick and has the ladder in hand.
McDaniel:
"Black here with a chance to pull off an upset."
Rentfro:
"Strader down and the ladder and Black up, not a good combination for
Strader."
Evan is about half-way up the ladder when he looks down at the figure of SNS
laying on the mat, he jumps down with a knee drop to the face of SNS, but it
misses.
McDaniel:
"Bad mistake there, should have gone on up."
Rentfro:
"Shoulda moved on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky."
McDaniel:
"What did you do with your extra money?"
Rentfro:
"Paid for gas, why?"
McDaniel:
Cause you darn well didn't spend it on singing lessons."
Both men crawl back to the ladder and begin the painful journey back to the top;
they see each other across the ladder. Again, the two seem to have been revived
and trade right and left blows from across the top of the ladder. SNS pokes
Black in the eyes and the man grabs his face. SNS delivers a huge right hand,
then another huge right hand; Black is reeling on the top of the ladder. SNS
reaches back with an open handed slap to the face of Evan Black; Black falls
from the top rung of the ladder on his back. SNS climbs on to the top, but is
just off to the right of the briefcase, he can't reach it.
McDaniel:
"Oh no, so close, but yet so far."
Rentfro:
"No one knows that better than SNS right now."
SNS looks down at the figure of Evan Black, shrugs his shoulders and dives with
a flying suicide plancha onto Black. Black got up his right knee just in time to
catch SNS in the face with it, causing his eyes to roll into the back of his
head.
Rentfro:
"Another big face shot to SNS here."
McDaniel:
"I bet his nose has to be shattered into a million pieces."
Black looks up at the briefcase from the mat and adjusts the ladder accordingly.
He gathers his strength and crawls towards the ladder. He reaches the bottom
rung and pulls himself up the first few rungs before using his feet to help
climb up.
Rentfro:
"This match could be over, SNS is out cold."
Black is half way up the ladder and looks down at SNS, before resting and
continuing up the ladder.
McDaniel:
"Or is he? Strader is moving."
SNS is up the ladder below Evan
Black and places his head between Black's legs and shoves upwards. Nothing
happens; Black tries to kick SNS, but to no avail. SNS hunches down and rams his
head into Evan's crotch, the man lets go of the ladder to grab himself and SNS
climbs up shoving his opponent backwards; Black's legs land on either side of
the ropes.
Rentfro:
"Oh, two ball shots in less than 10 seconds, that has gotta hurt."
McDaniel:
"I imagine so, I imagine so."
SNS stands there resting on the ladder before continuing the quest to reach the
top. He looks up and climbs one more rung hoisting himself onto the top of the
ladder. Reaching up, he unhooks the strap and holds the briefcase in the air
over his head.
DING! DING! DING!
Eric Emerson:
"Winner of the match and also the winner of at least $5,000... Scott Nash
Strader!"
SNS holds the briefcase between his hands and dives nailing Evan Black on top of
the head with the briefcase, blood begins to trickle down the forehead of Black.
Eric Emerson:
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I've just been informed that the there is also… in
that briefcase…….a contract!
McDaniel:
"A contract for what?"
Rentfro:
"Don't know, I'm in the dark."
Eric
Emerson: This
contract entitles Scott Nash Strader a title shot….
Anytime….Anywhere…….for ANY Title!!
McDaniel:
"OH WOW!!!”
Rentfro:
"Strader just hit pay dirt!"
In the ring, Scott looks at the briefcase with a new sense of excitement, the wheels turning in his head.
PWA
GRIZZLY BEER
CHAMPIONSHIP
Riona Langly (C) vs. Duff Cote d'iVoire vs. Jethro Hayes
Just before Emerson begins his announcements,
Chamelion appears on stage.
Chamelion:
It is with reluctance, that I have to announce that Riona Langly is not here to
defend her PWA Grizzly Beer title.
The crowd boos excessively.
Chamelion:
However, that does not mean we wont have a title match.
Riona, for whatever reason, has failed to show; but the title is still on
the line; now in a one on one match between Jethro and Duff.
The special stip? Well, that it’s a one on one match! Heh.
Carry on, Eric.
Eric
Emerson: The following is for one fall and is for the Grizzly Beer
title. Introducing first,
[An old nylon-string guitar begins playing lonely notes over the loudspeakers
and the sound echoes as if it's residing deep inside of a sewer. When the first
drum beat hits, building the anticipation, a series of black lights illuminate
the stage and vapor dances in its glow. After about forty five seconds, the
classical guitar is interrupted by Randal Blythe's growling vocals.]
--Our father, thy will be done!--
[The classical guitar is replaced with distorted electric guitars tuned to drop
D, playing the slow and droning "Vigil" by Lamb of God. The lights
surrounding the curtain flicker in a constant strobe and Duff Côte
--I have denied--
--This life its worth--
--I will not be the victim--
[He glances around to the crowd and the smirk turns into an arrogant, toothy
grin.]
--Show me how it hurts to rot from the inside out--
--This vigil burns--
--Until the date our fires overtake you--
Eric Emerson:
On the way to the ring: from New York City, New York, he stands at 6'7" and
weighs in at 275 lbs., Duff Côte d'Ivoiiire!
[He walks to the ring in long strides. He surveys his surroundings again before
rolling into the ring. A lone spotlight shines on him as he plays the crowd from
the middle rope in the far corner for a few moments.]
--OUR FATHER, WE FORSAKE YOU--
[Duff jumps down from his perch and waits impatiently for his opponent's
entrance.]
Eric Emerson:
And, introducing next, his opponent,
The cranking of a tractor is heard throughout the arena and the video entrance
of Jethro Hayes begins playing over the big screen. Cows moo, on the screen cows
are shown in a green pasture. Pigs are oinking, on the screen pigs run around in
mud within a fence. The scene on the screen goes to rolling hills, showing
combines in the field harvesting crops, tractors harrowing the ground preparing
for the new crop; semi trucks are hauling off the harvested crop. A man walks up
the 3 steps and opens the door on the cab of his John Deere tractor, he is
wearing a John Deere trucker hat, and is missing a few teeth, evident by the
grinning face he turns to the camera, he waves at the camera; it is part of a
family video. He climbs on into the cab of the tractor; along with the cranking
of the tractor on the screen, the beginning of Thank God I'm a Country Boy by
John Denver begins to play over the speaker system.
~Well life on the farm is kinda laid back
~Aint much an old country boy like me cant hack
~Its early to rise, early in the sack
~Thank God Im a country boy
The curtains are pulled back by two people and the front of a John Deere 4720
tractor is seen in the backstage area, smoke boiling up from the muffler.
~Well a simple kinda life never did me no harm
~A raisin me a family and workin on a farm
~My days are all filled with an easy country charm
~Thank God Im a country boy
When the words "kinda laid back" are heard, the tractor begins moving
forward slowly down the ramp the tractor is moving at about 3 miles an hour.
Eric Emerson:
"From Lean Ox, Ga; weighing 315 pounds and standing at 6' 7"... Jethro
Hayes!"
With the mentioning of his name, Jethro toots the tractor's horn inside the cab
and waves to the crowd, he revs the tractor's engine slightly in response to the
crowd.
~Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
~When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
~Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
~Thank God Im a country boy
The tractor arrives at the bottom of the ramp and Jethro stops the tractor,
toots the horn while reving the tractor to full power; then he shuts the tractor
off. Jethro climbs out of the tractor to a huge pop, he waves and climbs down.
Jethro is wearing overalls with a yellow John Deere shirt underneath, brown
Wolverine boots, and a John Deere hat.
~When the works all done and the suns settlin low
~I pull out my fiddle and I rosin up the bow
~The kids are asleep so I keep it kinda low
~Thank God Im a country boy
~Id play sally goodin all day if I could
~But the lord and my wife wouldnt take it very good
~So I fiddle when I could, work when I should
~Thank God Im a country boy
He touches a few fans hands on his way to the ring steps. He climbs up the steps
and gets into the ring He walks to one corner and waves to those fans.
~Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
~When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
~Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
~Thank God Im a country boy
He walks to another corner and waves to those fans, nodding along with the
music.
~Well I wouldnt trade my life for diamonds and jewels
~I never was one of them money hungry fools
~Iid rather have my fiddle and my farmin tools
~Thank God Im a country boy
He walks to the third corner and waves to those fans with thumbs up in the air,
still nodding along with the music; he mimics playing a fiddle.
~Yeah, city folk drivin in a black limousine
~A lotta sad people thinkin thats mighty keen
~Son, let me tell ya now exactly what I mean
~Thank God Im a country boy
Reaching the fourth corner, he takes off his hat and throws it into the crowd;
shaking his head he prepares for the match.
~Well I got me a fine wife I got me a fiddle
~When the suns comin up I got cakes on the griddle
~Life aint nothin but a funy funny riddle
~Thank God Im a country boy
The song fades away slowly with the chorus repeating while it dwindles into
silence.
Rentfro:
Can Chamelion DO this?
McDaniel:
He is the boss! Now, let’s watch
and see which of these two men will be the new Grizzly Beer Champion!
DING! DING! DING!
Jethro tries to do a lock up but Duff punches
him with a taped up fist. Jethro falls to one knee and touches his lip. He gets
back up and tries to tie up again, and Duff goes to punch him in the mouth again
but Jethro ducks and kicks Duff in the knee. Duff grabs the side of his knee and
Jethro hits him with a double axe handle across his back. Duff falls to all
fours and Jethro puts his arm up in the air while he gives Duff a kick in the
ribs. He goes for it again, but Duff catches his foot and spins his foot causing
Jethro to spin in the air and land hard on the mat.
Rentfro:
Excellent tactile move by Duff!
McDaniel:
He’s the veteran of the two, and bound to teach Jethro a few lessons.
Duff gets up and kicks Jethro in the back of the
head. He picks him up by his head and knees him in the gut. He whips Jethro into
the ropes and elbows him in the jaw. Jethro stumbles back and Duff closelines
him to the outside. Duff goes to the middle of the ring as the ref moves him
away from the ropes, but then all of the sudden he runs to the turnbuckle and
jumps on the top rope and hits cross body on Jethro who is just had stood up.
Both men are sluggish to their feet by finially Duff gets in and rolls into the
ring. He stands up but from the outside Jethro trips him, and climbs up on the
apron and flips over the top ropes and hits an elbow drop onto Duff’s back.
Jethro uses the ropes to get up, still hurt from the cross body block, and kicks
down onto the back of Duff’s knee.
Rentfro:
Hayes’ larger form is tearing down Duff!
McDaniel:
Duff has never been off his game so much as he is now.
Duff yells out in pain and tries to crawl away.
Jethro drives his knee into Duff’s back and whips him into the ropes. Jethro
runs into Duff and hits a high knee lift. Duff stumbles out of the corner and
turns around and Jethro hits The Planter (Jack knife powerbomb). Jethro
covers...

McDaniel:
That was totally unexpected! Jethro Hayes becomes the new PWA Grizzly Beer
Champion!
Rentfro:
Riona is going to be MIGHTY pissed when she arrives!
McDaniel: Goes to show, be EARLY! Not late! Especially to your assigned matches!
WINNER
BECOMES ROBINSON'S
PROTÉGÉ
Derek Stephen Taylor vs. Scottie Snow
Jon
McDaniel: This next match is
going to be interesting, Brian. The winner will go on to be managed by Rob
Robinson!
Brian Rentfro: Well Jon, Rob is a guy that
got put out of the sport way too early and this is his way of getting back in.
Eric Emerson:
Ladies and gentlemen, this match is scheduled for one fall. The winner of this
match will win the managerial services of Rob Robinson!
"Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys blares out of the PA system as Rob
Robinson comes out and takes a seat at the announce position.
Eric Emerson:
Introducing first...
"Eye of the Tiger" starts playing as some rather mediocre pyro goes
off. It looks like maybe more pyro should have been used since it wasn't
symmetrical and was generally rather spotty.
Eric Emerson: Hailing from
Scottie Snow comes running out onto the ramp and runs to the ring. He tries a
standing jump onto the ring apron, but his feet slip and his falls off, hitting
his face on the apron. Dejected, he rolls into the ring with the crowd laughing.
Brian Rentfro: I don't think that's quite
the entrance Scottie wanted to make.
Rob Robinson: Hell, I bet he's just
happy to be appearing on his first pay per view!
Eric Emerson: And his opponent...
U2's "Even Better Than the Real Thing" starts as the arena darkens.
Eric Emerson: Hailing from
Spotlights come to life on the stage, revealing a figure standing there.
Rob Robinson: Now you're about to see
some first class technical wrestling.
Snow rushes at Taylor, who takes him down with a drop toe hold.
Jon McDaniel: That didn't seem very
sportsmanlike.
Rob Robinson: Who the hell cares, Jon?
Derek is out there to win, not make the guy feel good about losing.
Taylor
pulls Snow to his feet and whips him into the ropes, catching him on the
rebound with a tilt awhirl backbreaker.
Rob Robinson: Is that better, Jon?
Snow is dazed, but get to his feet, oblivious to the fact that
Rob Robinson: I love this part. Derek
calls this move the British Pound!

Taylor
walks away, drawing boos from the crowd.
Brian Rentfro: You're right, Rob, this guy
is good!
Rob Robinson: I know, I know. But just
watch this next bit. I know what he's got in mind here.
Taylor
bends over to grab Snow's legs and applies a Texas Cloverleaf in the middle of
the ring.
Jon McDaniel: Didn't he call this the
Rob Robinson: Wow, good memory, Jon!
In the ring, Snow quickly taps out of the submission.
Eric Emerson: Ladies and gentlemen, the
winner of this match, and Rob Robinson's new protégé...Derek Stephen Taylor!
PWA
INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP
MATCH
Jamie Flynn (C) vs. Nick Matthews vs. Nightstryker
Eric
Emerson: "The following is
for the PWA Intercontinental title and is a triple threat match...Introducing
first, standing 6 feet even and weighing in at 235 pounds... Nick
Matthews."
Death Letter by the White Stripes begins to play over the sound system... The
lights go out, and a white spiral on a black background shows up on the tron. A
medium paced guitar line plays two bars, and when the drums kick in,
a spotlight hits the stage and Nick Matthews is standing in it. As the song
continues, he walks quickly down the ramp, singing along with the words. He
hesitates once he gets to the stairs, and climbs then slowly. He turns and faces
the crowd while standing on the apron, very Jericho-esque. When he climbs
in, the lights go back on and he sits on the turnbuckle.
Eric Emerson:
"Introducing next, this man stands at 6 feet and 2 inches; he weighs 242
pounds all the way from Chicago Illinois... he is Nightstryker."
The arena slowly darkens as "World Falls Away" by Seether begins to
play over the PA system. Blue and silver smoke emanate from the
sides of the entranceway as Nightstryker steps through onto the ramp.
He takes a moment to view his surroundings before proceeding towards the ring.
Upon entering, he takes his shades off and hands them to the ring announcer
before heading to the far corner to stretch and wait for the bell.
Eric Emerson:
Introducing next, from
The house lights dim, as the image of a red ouroboros flashes on the monitor...
Amidst the cheering, "The Pot" subtly begins to play over the arena.
Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been outta your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass so
Don't go tossin' your stones around
You must have been... high
You must have been... high
Eric Emerson:
Weighing in at two hundred and five pounds...
As the sounds of Tool kick up and the bass begins to resonate, Jamie Flynn
appears at the top of the ramp to the ovation of his fans. Wearing his trademark
Aviators and a black hoodie, he raises his arm to them and begins his walk to
the ring.
Foot in mouth and head up ass
So whatcha talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'til you pull it out. boy,
You must have been... so high
You must have been... so high
Eric Emerson:
He is the PWA Intercontinental champion... JAMIE FLYNN!!
He slides under the bottom rope and rolls into the ring. He walks briskly to a
corner and hops up, throwing his Intercontinental Title high into the air
with one arm and soaking in a few more moments of the crowds' admiration.
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Musta got lemon juice up in your... eye!
When you pissed all over my black kettle.
You must have been... high! high!
You must have been... high! high!
Removing his shades and sweater, he hands them off - along with the IC title -
to an official outside the ring and moves to his corner, where he stretches
out a few last-minute kinks and waits for the match to begin.
McDaniel:
"Next fans, we have a triple threat match..."
Rentfro:
"For the PWA Intercontinental title."
DING! DING! DING!
The three men circle each other in the middle of the ring, they eye each other
wearily. The all charge each other at once, Matthews throws out a foot and trips
Nightstryker, who falls to the mat. Without missing a beat, Flynn and Matthews
lock up in a collar and elbow tie-up. Grabbing his wrist, Flynn pulls Nick's
wrist behind his own back in a behind the back wristlock on Matthews.
Rentfro:
"Did you see how smoothly Matthews tripped and moved into the collar and
elbow tie-up?"
McDaniel:
"I saw Flynn move as smoothly in hooking Nick up in that wristlock."
Nightstryker is up and delivers a running forearm shot to the back of Flynn's
head, causing the front of Flynn's head to make contact with the back of Nick's
head. Nick turns around to face the two other opponents, but Nightstryker has a
different idea as he rams their heads together in a double head butt.
McDaniel:
"And a double noggin knocker."
Rentfro:
"Affective as the two are stumbling."
Nightstryker lowers himself sweeping Flynn's legs out from under him simultaneously
booting Nick in the gut and planting him with an even flow ddt to the mat. He
falls ontop of Matthews for a cover.
one...
two...
Flynn grabs the
ankles of Nightstryker breaking the pin attempt as he pulls him off of Matthews.
Flynn places a boot into the back of Nightstryker and lifts the man up hitting
him with a modified backbreaker. Jamie covers Nightstryker for a pin attempt.
one...
one 1/2
Nick pulls Jamie
off of Nightstryker breaking the pinfall.
Rentfro:
"Matthews with the save there."
McDaniel:
"Saving himself and giving himself another chance for a title."
Nick is up and drops a sharp elbow to the back of Flynn's neck, which he turns
into a side headlock; he wrenches on the neck of Flynn. He pulls Jamie back up
in the side headlock and delivers a running bulldog. Matthews is up looking for
another elbow drop but is hit by Nightstryker with a reverse ddt; Nightstryker
covers for another pin attempt.
one...
two... .
Flynn runs up the
closest turnbuckle and dives with a flying corkscrewing cross body block to
break up the pin.
McDaniel:
"Wow, what a way to break up a pin and inflict damage."
Rentfro:
"I just don't see how he did it."
Flynn pulls the winded Nightstryker to his feet throwing rights and lefts
driving him back into the corner. Flynn eyes Nightstryker's chest and delivers
chop after chop; causing Nightstryker to flinch with each contact of skin.
McDaniel:
"Flynn doesn't see Matthews behind him."
Rentfro:
"Nick with a schoolboy roll up pin."
one...
two...
two and three fourths;
Stryker comes off
the middle rope with a double axe handle smash to the back of Nick's head.
Striker is back to his feet where Nick delivers a picture perfect standing
dropkick sending Nightstryker through the ropes. Flynn is up and twists Nick
around whipping him into the ropes. Nick comes back off the ropes into a Samoan
drop onto the mat; Flynn covers.
one...
two...
two and three fourths
Nick has a
shoulder up.
Rentfro:
"Nightstryker playing it smart catching his breath on the outside."
McDaniel:
"As long as he doesn't catch it too long out there."
Flynn has the right ankle of Nick in his hands and plants a sadistic stomp to
the inner thigh of Nick's right thigh. Flynn then wraps the leg of Nick Matthews
around his own leg and falls back hyper extending the right leg of Nick who
cries out in pain. Flynn is up again quickly and aims to deliver an elbow drop
to Nick's gut, and as he falls, Nick throws a hard punch to the falling face of
Jamie Flynn. Jamie grabs his face and his legs are swept out from under him,
grabbing his legs Nick goes for a pin attempt.
one...
Nightstryker is
off the top rope with a leg drop to the neck of Matthews.
McDaniel:
"Pin attempt mania here in this match."
Rentfro:
"And all but that one very close."
Nightstryker is up meeting the face of Nick Matthews with meaty right hands
backing the man into the corner, where he sits Nick up on the top rope preparing
for a top rope suplex. Nick blocks the move and throws Nightstryker down front
first onto the mat and jumps down with a double knee to the back of
Nightstryker. Rolling him over, he goes for a pin.
one...
two...
Flynn's foot
connects with Nick's head in a soccer style fashion, rolling him off of
Nightstryker.
Rentfro:
"Flynn whips Nick into the opposite corner after that brutal kick."
McDaniel:
"None of them are holding anything back here Brian."
Rentfro:
"Nick reverses the whip and throws Jamie into the corner."
Nick delivers three vicious chops to the chest of Jamie Flynn, a huge left hand,
followed by climbing onto the top turnbuckle and delivers 5 meaty punches to the
jaw of Jamie Flynn. As he jumps down, he grabs the head of Jamie Flynn planting
him with a modified DDt to the mat and covers.
one...
two...
two and three fourths
Nightstryker
grabs the head of Nick Matthews and pulls him off of Jamie Flynn. Nick reaches
through and pulls Stryker's legs out from under him and placing his hand on the
chest of Stryker delivers big right hands to the man. Nick goes for another
right hand, but it is stopped by Jamie who places Nick into an arm bar driving
him to the mat.
one...
two...
Jamie realizes
that Nick is pinning Nightstryker just as he is pulling him off, Stryker kicks
out.
McDaniel:
"What just happened?"
Rentfro:
"He had Stryker pinned and Jamie was helping Nick pin Stryker."
Jamie slides out of the ring to catch his breath. Nightstryker charges at Nick
who delivers a massive backbody drop to the outside; Jamie catches the flying
Stryker and hits him with a spinning sit-down spine buster onto the guardrail Nick
having just turned around stares at the high impact move, he shakes his head in
disbelief.
Rentfro:
"Did you see that?"
McDaniel:
"Yeah.. I did, it had to hurt."
Crowd: "Ohhhh!"
Flynn, still in a sitting position, stares back in the ring, he grins up at Nick
Matthews.
Ref: "one...
two... three... four... five... six... seven... eight"
Jamie slides back into the ring where he and Nick tie up in a collar and elbow
tie up. Nick gains the advantage with a wristlock and he delivers a high kick to
the face of Jamie, then quickly into a fireman's carry slam to the mat.
one...
two...
Jamie reaches his
shoulder up barely. Outside the ring Stryker is still on his back and is in
obvious pain.
Rentfro:
"Stryker still out of the match so far."
McDaniel:
"You'd be too if you had that done to you."
Rentfro:
"Too true my friend, too freaking true."
Inside the ring, Nick whips Jamie into the corner and follows up with a quick
running dropkick.
Rentfro:
"Flashbang!"
Flynn stumbles out of the corner and is hit with a spinning ddt to the mat.
Jamie stops the spinning ddt and throws his weight around and has Nick in
a bridged pin attempt.
one...
Nick is struggling
two...
Nick is kicking wildly now
three!
DING! DING! DING!
Eric
Emerson: "Winner of the match and still PWA Intercontinental
Champion... Jamie Flynn!"
McDaniel:
"Jamie fought for every moment in that match Brian."
Rentfro:
"Damn sure did John, he earned this one."
As Flynn Celebrates in the ring, Nightstryker is seen walking in front of the
camera and taps John McDaniel on the shoulder; his hand is out.
McDaniel:
"Oh yeah, it’s here somewhere."
Papers are heard shuffling around for a moment.
McDaniel:
"Um... give me a moment."
Nightstryker: "Brian, did you take
it?"
Rentfro shrugs his shoulders and pulls the envelope out from his pocket and
hands it to Nightstryker. Stryker grins, patting Rentfro on the shoulder and
hops the barricade, exciting the fans around him as he strolls out of the arena.
As he does, the camera pans upwards to find Rob Robinson, Derek Stephan Taylor,
and Viktor Stone are sitting in a luxury box, enjoying the show when Scottie
Snow barges into the room. While all the other men are wearing street clothes,
Snow is still in his ring attire.
Scottie Snow: Rob, you've gotta give me
another chance.
Stone and Taylor both get to their feet and advance on Snow, but Robinson
motions them back.
Rob Robinson: Easy guys, he's not a
threat. I'm pretty sure that Derek proved that earlier tonight.
The two men laugh and sit back down.
Rob Robinson: Come on, Scottie, you and
I both know that you don't deserve another shot. I gave you the opportunity of a
life time tonight and you wasted it, plain and simple.
Scottie Snow: Rob, you can't do this to
me!
Rob Robinson: Do what to you,
exactly? You've done this to yourself, Scottie!
Scottie Snow: But you're my only hope!
This isn't my fault!
Rob Robinson: Isn't your fault?
It isn't my fault you can't win a match to save your life...Actually, on
second thought, come out here with me, Scottie.
The four men walk onto the balcony overlooking the arena.
Rob Robinson: Do you see all these fans,
Scottie? These people all come here to see action, to see excitement, to see the
best this sport has to offer. You think they deserve to see you? Do you really
think that much of this industry?
Scottie Snow: Rob, it isn't like that.
Rob Robinson: It isn't, is it? So, you
say I'm your only hope, is that right?
Scottie Snow: Yeah, I'd do anything,
Rob, anything!
Robinson snaps his fingers and Taylor and Stone each grab one of Scottie's arms
and haul him over the edge of the balcony, hanging high above the arena.
Scottie Snow: Rob...Rob, what are you
doing? You can't do this!
Rob Robinson: Earlier I said that you
couldn't save a match to save your life, Scottie. Was I right about that?
Scottie Snow: What? Come on, just let
me go!
Rob Robinson: You don't really want us
to do that, do you? Don't answer, that was rhetorical. My real question was, can
you save a match to save your life?
Scottie Snow: Yes!
Rob Robinson: Good. Now, here's my
second question, Scotty. Do you believe in angels?
Scottie Snow: What?
Rob Robinson: Scottie, Derek and Viktor
are strong, but they've both wrestled tonight and have each had something to
drink, so I don't know how long they can hold you like this. Do try to keep up.
I asked if you believe in angels.
Scottie Snow: I guess so?
Rob Robinson: You don't sound so sure,
but that's alright. Scottie, I want you to think of me as an angel. You see,
there are two very interesting things about angels, Scottie. Do you know what
they are?
Scottie Snow: I don't think so.
Rob Robinson: Well, the first thing
about angels is that they can take you back to the very moment when everything
went wrong. That gives you a second chance to make it right again, kind of a
celestial Quantum Leap. Does that sound good, Scottie?
Scottie Snow: What do you mean?
Rob Robinson: What I mean is that you
are getting a second chance, Scottie. You get one more match to make this all
right. If you win the match, everything will go differently for you, but if you
lose...well, that's how you got in this predicament in the first place. So what
will it be Scottie, do you believe in angels or not?
Scottie Snow: Yes! Of course! Anything
you say!
Robinson snaps his fingers again and Taylor and Stone pull Snow back onto the
balcony.
Robinson, Taylor, and Stone go back to the couch to finish their discussion
while Snow slinks away. As he reaches the door and starts to pull it open,
Robinson calls out to him.
Rob Robinson: Oh, and Scottie? You
didn't ask about the second interesting thing about angels.
Scottie Snow: What's that?
Rob Robinson: You only get one.
Backstage, we find Riona Langly walking into the
arena, her cell open to her ear, and she’s talking to someone on the other end
when Chamelion walks up to her and holds out his hand.
Riona blinks, and tells her companion she has to hang up.
Clicking the cell shut, Riona scoffs towards Chamelion.
Riona:
What do you want!?
Chamelion:
Your belt, please.
Riona:
What!?
Chamelion sighs, crossing his arms.
Chamelion:
Do you have ANY idea what time it is?
Riona looks dumbfounded, and checks her watch.
Riona:
Chamelion:
Umm, is your watch on PST or EST? Cause this show runs EST.
You missed your match, Riona. Jethro
Hayes is the new PWA Grizzly Beer Champion.
Riona’s bags crash to the floor, her face
becoming red.
Riona:
You can’t DO THAT TO ME!
Chamelion:
Babe, you did it to yourself. You
got to be on our time, not your own time. I
remade the match; Jethro vs. Duff, and Jethro won.
Now, hand over the title, please.
A vein pops out on Riona’s forehead, as she
rips open her duffle bag and shoves it into Chamelion’s hands.
Riona:
I have the mind to quit, you know!
Chamelion:
Yeah, I know. But consider it
carefully before you do. Your
actions are not so severe you’re gonna have heat on you.
And you know me to be the kind to give other chances to everyone.
But in this case, Jethro just did a touch better over all, by beating
Duff and being on time. Tough luck,
kiddo.
Chamelion turns and walks off, GB title over his
shoulder and Riona cusses under her breath, grabs her stuff and stomps back out
the way she came.

PWA TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
MATCH
Nightmare & El Rey de Corazones vs. Psycho
Sandra & Project X
Eric
Emerson: The following match is for one fall, and is the finals of
the United Forces Tournament. For this match, the time limit will be 60 minutes,
and the initial tag period has been extended to 10 minutes. The winner will not
only be the winner of the UFT, but these two people will also win the vacant PWA
Tag Team Titles, and be declared the NEW PWA tag team champions.
Eric Emerson:
Introducing first, from
As "Baila Casanova" by Paulina Rubino hits the arena speakers, the
stage lights up with flickering flame-colored lighting. A red spotlight hits the
stage as El Rey de Corazones steps out onto the stage. The King of Hearts is
wearing black-and-silver wrestling tights, black wrestling boots, a yellow
sombrero and a Toreador jacket. The sombrero is banded in black with red hearts,
while his jacket is yellow with red and black trim and bears an appliqué of a
large red heart encircled bandoleer style with a yellow crown.
El Rey bears a bouquet of roses in his hand. As he walks to the ring he tosses
flowers to the female fans in attendance. He walks up the ring steps and waits
patiently in the center of the ring for his tag team partner.
McDaniel:
Finally, after a month, here we are Brian. The FINALS of the United Forces
Tournament.
Rentfro:
Damn right Jon. And, not only are we finally at the finals, we are finally about
to have tag champions again.
McDaniel:
El Rey looking pumped and ready for a chance to win gold tonight.
The house lights dim as smoke begins to boil up from the entranceway.
Eric Emerson:
And, introducing next, his partner... standing at 6'9" and weighting in at
280 pounds...
A pulsing beat hits the air as "The Great American Nightmare" by Rob
Zombie begins to play as a group of ravishingly beautiful women in hot pants and
cropped halter tops rise from the smoke, moving in a sensuous provocative manner
to the music. The arena lights begin to strobe in synchronicity to the music as
the opening guitar riff hits its crescendo, the huge monitors flashing in
counterpoint.
~Dig deep down from Planet X, yeah~
~Thirteen ghosts in the devil's head~
~Step right up and feel the fire~
~Hardcore love of the never dead~
Eric Emerson:
He hails from Los Angeles, California... he is Jonathon Wehali... he is...
Spotlights pan through the stadium, scanning through the air. Suddenly the
entrance explodes with a spike of red pyros as the monitors begin showing
highlights from Nightmare's previous matches. Icons and champions go down to his
kicks and strikes. Superstars and legends tap out to his submission holds. One
after another faces famous, infamous, and unknown are shown, each being driven
into the canvas headfirst. The footage then burns away to a single word
suspended in darkness: NIGHTMARE. It then shatters, the monitor going black.
~Call me the American nightmare~
~Call me the American dream~
~Call me your soul corrupted~
~Call me everything you need~
Eric Emerson:
NIGHTMARE!!!
As a shower of red pyros rains down upon the stage, Nightmare steps through the
entrance. Red war paint marks his face.
~Yeah, motherfucker~
~Yeah, who do you love~
~Yeah, motherfucker~
~Who do you love, yeah~
Nightmare scans the crowd like a general surveying his troops. His gaze then
settles upon the ring. Making his way forward he slaps hands with the fans.
Trailing behind Nightmare are his manager Akira and his bodyguard Dhamballa.
~Black boots stomp and penetrate, yeah~
~Lust and death gone in your head~
~Rat pack mind degenerated~
~Thirteen ghosts sing the body red~
Arriving at ringside, Nightmare selects a lovely young woman out of the crowd,
placing his signature Gargoyle sunglasses upon her head then posing with the
fans before turning to once again view the ring.
~Call me the dark intruder~
~Call me the haunted sea~
~Call me your Monster Zero~
~Call me anything you need~
Once at ringside Nightmare springs onto the ring apron, grabs the top rope, and
flips over the top.
~Call me the American Nightmare~
~Call me the American dream~
~Call me your soul corrupted~
~Call me everything you need~
Nightmare walks to the center of the ring and pumps his fist into the air. The
four corner posts of the ring erupt into an explosion of red pyros as the song
fades out, the stage once again in darkness as the dancing girls return to the
back.
~Yeah, motherfucker~
~Yeah, who do you love~
~Yeah, motherfucker~
~Who do you love, yeah~
Nightmare takes his place in his corner to await the beginning of the match as
Akira and Dhamballa take their stations outside the ring.
McDaniel:
Nightmare and El Rey teaming for the first time in the United Forces Tournament.
Could this team take out the now experienced team of Psycho-X?
Again, the stadium lights go out for a moment.
Eric Emerson:
And, introducing their opponents. First,
A few sparks erupt near the top of the ramp. The continue to grow in size until
it looks like an accidental electrical fire has gone off, and finally...
BAM!!!
An explosion sounds off throughout the entire stadium!
Eric Emerson:
Hailing from
A heavy guitar intro plays through the speakers, and the televisions begin to
display motorcycles, beer, cigars, and finally...
Eric Emerson:
Psycho Sandra!
Buried deep inside; and fighting to survive!
My own dying breath is anticipating death!!
Sandra runs down the ramp. She's wearing a pair of black leather shorts, a
leather halter top, knee-high boots covered in thick buckles, and fishnet
pantyhose. Her hair is done up into two curly pigtails, and there is a heavy
looking crowbar in her hands.
Decompose! A corpse; to feed the crows!
Out of sight and mind! They buried me.. they buried me alive!!
Sandra is stopped by the referee, who makes her put whatever foreign object
she's brought crowbar on the announcer's table. She finally agrees and runs back
into the ring, rotating her shoulders and neck in between waving to the crowd as
her song dies down.
McDaniel:
And here we have half the team of Psycho-X. Project-X and Psycho Sandra are
arguably the odds on favorites, considering the experience as a team they have
over Nightmare and El Rey.
Eric Emerson:
And lastly, her partner,
The house lights drop and are taken over by the illumination of red strobe
lights that dance about the PWA ramp.
Eric Emerson:
Hailing from Parts Unknown,
"Hysteria" by Muse hits the PA system as a bright white light blasts
out from the back, against this light the outline of Project X can be made as he
strolls out onto the ramp.
Eric Emerson:
PROJECT-X!
PX looks out at the crowd, then down at the ring. His eyes seem fixated on one
spot in the ring; which happens to be where Sandra stands. PX takes a second to
adjust the top of his jump suit, before turning towards the way he came out. PX
starts taking steps back, as he holds up his arms like he’s motioning for
something to come out.
Rentfro:
Oh this should be good.
The ramp way shakes a little. Suddenly, a loud, high pitched beeping can be
heard.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
The curtain to the back starts moving as a huge 18 wheeler comes backing up onto
the stage. Sandra looks confused, as El Rey and Nightmare are hanging back in
their corner, casually discussing what’s going on as they look up the ramp.
McDaniel:
What the hell could he be doing?
PX finally holds up his hands to get the driver to stop when the back of the
trailer is on the ramp, facing down towards the ramp. PX finally turns back
towards the ring, before reaching into the top of his jumpsuit. He pulls out a
mic, and begins to speak.
PX: Well Sandra, we're finally here on
the big stage fighting for the titles on the second biggest Pay-Per-View of the
year! This has been quite the journey that the two of us have been on and
tonight I know that we are going to continue it by claiming the tag titles over
those two cum stains across the ring. I know that when the match is over,
Chamelion is probably going to come out here and quickly escort you away from
me, so I find myself with this small window of opportunity right now to express
how much having you as a partner has meant to me.
PX points to the truck.
PX: Now, I know you're wondering what
the Hell is in the truck. I have racked my brain over the last week about how I
can properly demonstrate what I'm feeling at the moment and well... Sandra,
baby... this is for you!
PX tosses the mic aside, and it makes a thud as it lands. PX then walks back to
the truck, and heaves the back door open. Out comes running a dozen midgets with
boxes of chocolate in one hand, and puppies in the other. The puppies have a few
flowers attached to their collars.
PX stands by the ring. He looks up at Sandra smiling.
PX: What do you think?
Sandra leans over the top rope, shaking her head and looking none too happy.
Sandra:
Are you out of your mind!? I
can’t have dogs! I'm allergic!
Nightmare and El Rey look at each other before they begin laughing hysterically.
PX seems shocked. He screams once, and all the midgets stop. He points to the
truck, and they all turn, with their heads down, and march back. PX stops one,
and he gives the dog he was holding to another. This one little guy, walks over
to the ring, and sits by the steel stairs. PX snaps his fingers once, and six
tall men in suits now come out of the back of the truck. They are all holding
violins, and make their way down to the ring. PX closes the back of the truck,
and it begins to go back to the back. PX walks to the ring, and hops onto the
apron. He looks down at the men, and snaps again, and they begin playing
romantic music. Sandra rolls her eyes, and about at that moment Chamelion walks
onto the stage and begins to make his way down.
PX sees him, smirks and motions the players to continue.
Nightmare and El Rey finally stop laughing, and ask the ref to get this
match started. The ref is in Psycho-X’s corner, and tells them one needs in
the ring. PX gets in, and in the opposite corner, El Rey steps in.
DING! DING! DING!
PX charges at El Rey, and El Rey reacts quickly. He jumps onto the second rope
next to him, and springs off it, attempting a dropkick to PX’s face. PX side
steps though, and manages to punch up into El Rey’s face. El Rey flips in the
air, and lands on his back. PX quickly drops an elbow across El Rey, before
standing, and putting his boot on El Rey’s face. Nightmare quickly jumps onto
the second rope, and leans over. He grabs PX by the mask, and pulls him
backwards and off El Rey. PX turns and decks Nightmare with a forearm. Nightmare
bounces, holding the top rope, and attempts to get in. The ref runs over, and
stands in front of him; blocking his way into the ring. PX bends to pick up El
Rey, but El Rey grabs his head, and slams it into the mat before rolling PX in
for a small package.

The ref isn’t looking. He’s still busy with Nightmare. The fans are booing
like crazy. Nightmare finally gets out, and the ref gets down. But, at this
point, PX kicks before the ref even counts one. And PX’s own actions just
inadvertently saved his ass there. El Rey springs up as PX sits up. El Rey runs
in a half circle, before nailing PX in the back with a dropkick. The force is
enough to plow PX’s face into the mat. PX springs back up, and you can imagine
he doesn’t look happy. El Rey darts to the neutral corner, and jumps to the
top. He stands and claps, trying to get the fans behind him. PX takes a second
to collect himself, then lumbers to his feet. He turns, and El Rey goes for a
standing swaton. PX takes a step back, and brings up his foot. Rey’s chin
connects with the flat side of PX’s boot, and his neck twists in a nasty way.
Rentfro:
Oh, and El Rey lands in a heap.
PX covers.

Nightmare breaks it up.
PX stands to fight Nightmare, but Nightmare has a slight advantage.
McDaniel:
Where is Sandra in all this?
We look in Psycho-X’s corner to see Sandra sitting on the apron, teaching the
guys playing violin to play the Rampage theme by Blood Corps. She’s bobbing
her head back as forth as she conducts the guys.
Chamelion is leaning against the apron next to her, arms folded, watching
with a somewhat stunned look at the whole fiasco.
Rentfro:
Wow…that’s a new one.
The ref finally gets in between the two men, and sends Nightmare out of the
ring. PX looks down at the recovering El Rey, and kicks him in the ribs once;
flipping him onto his back. PX walks over to his corner, and gets Sandra’s
attention. He then gets her to tag. Sandra gets in as PX gets out, who winks at
Chamelion who gives him an odd “Hmm, oh you’re here look’ while Sandra
walks to El Rey. She bends and picks him up, and El Rey grabs her and plants her
with a DDT. The fans give a mix of cheers and boos. El Rey seems to have finally
caught his breath as he turns to go to his corner. However, Sandra grabs a hold
of his leg and pulls. El Rey loses his footing, and Sandra gets back up as quick
as she can. She swings for a hard clothesline, but El Rey ducks, and nails a
drop toehold. Sandra hits hard, and El Rey rolls ontop of her. He hooks on an
STF, and Sandra lets out a loud scream as he tweaks her neck. PX sees Sandra in
trouble, and looks down at the men next to him. He snaps his fingers, and again
their tune changes. As PX gets into the ring, the men with violins begin playing
the “Friday the 13th” theme.
McDaniel:
That’s appropriate.
Nightmare comes in, and meets PX. They begin duking it out as the ref tries to
regain order. Nightmare throws a punch, and PX leans back to dodge. PX throws
one, and Nightmare dodges to the side. Nightmare throws another one, but PX side
steps, and pushes Nightmare. He stumbles a few inches, and it gives PX enough
time to race over, and put Sandra’s free leg on the ropes. PX frantically gets
the refs attention, and points it out. The ref turns his attention to telling to
let go, but he doesn’t seem to understand why. With the momentary distraction,
PX turns and sees Nightmare standing there. PX drills a switch kick into the
crotch of Nightmare. Nightmare’s face doesn’t change, and he simply shakes
his head back and forth. Nightmare pulls out a metal cup, and then after a
second, drills PX in the side of the face with it. PX goes down to his knees.
Nightmare turns and walks to El Rey. He says something that lets him know to let
go of Sandra, and El Rey does. The ref wants Nightmare out, and he does. PX
shakes his head to get the cobwebs loose, then begrudgingly returns to his
corner. With Sandra out of it for a moment, El Rey takes the opportunity to go
to his corner and tag Nightmare. Nightmare gets in the ring, and lifts Sandra
up. He swings her to the ropes, and when she comes back, Nightmare grabs her by
the neck. He goes for a swinging neck breaker, but Sandra shoves him away, and
when he turns back, nails a huge boot to the face.
Eric
Emerson: The ten minute tag
session will end in thirty seconds.
Rentfro:
Soon it’s gonna be a free for all!
Sandra quickly tries for the
cover.

Kick out!
McDaniel:
Nightmare is not going down that easily!
Sandra bites her lip, turns
and rushes over, slapping PX’s hand! He
steps in and she barks instructions for a quick double team!
Project X smiles warmly at the suggestion and the crowd gasps as he bends
Sandra between his legs, where he turns and gives Chamelion a cocky grin.
He growls on the outside, and then PX lifts her up in the upwards
position, her crotch now his face and PX actually inhales, holding the position
far too long! Sandra, noticing
PX’s actions, gives an exasperated shout and drops her body back and flips PX
over so he lands on Nightmare with a splash!
Sandra jumps to her feet and bounces off the ropes and drives her knee
into the back of PX so he crushes down on Nightmare even more!
Rentfro:
I seem to think perhaps X is taking this a bit….too… far.
Sandra backs up as PX stands,
shaking his head and turns, his smile gone.
Sandra glares back, no longer interested in his bullshit and screams for
him to pay attention to the match! Project
X steps up to Sandra, arguing that he is just being a good partner, with
Chamelion outside tense to come in. As
they argue, Eric Emerson announces.
Eric
Emerson: The ten minute limit has
expired, now all members can be in the ring at one time and are legal!
As that announcement is made,
Nightmare grabs PX from behind and rolls him up.
Sandra crosses her arms in defiance, not moving as the ref strikes the
mat.

McDaniel:
WHOAH!!!
Rentfro:
PX just got snookered!
Eric
Emerson: Project X has been
eliminated!!
Slamming the mat viciously,
Project X jumps up, and spins towards Sandra.
He gives her a WHY look, as
Nightmare rolls over and tags El Rey in. As
El Rey runs towards PX and Sandra, PX turns on a dime and hits a big boot,
sending El Rey to his back! He then
spits and points as he gets out of the ring.
Sandra takes the advantage, scoops El Rey up and hits the Lobotomy.

Rentfro:
And now it’s even again!!
McDaniel:
Incredible!
Eric Emerson: El Rey has been eliminated! It’s now down to one on one!
PX., on the outside, at least has the decency to clap for Sandra, but she turns towards Nightmare, who is back up and she motions him in. Nightmare nods, satisfied this is now a contest of skill, not deception. Nightmare and Sandra lock up in the center of the ring, and quickly, Nightmare whips Sandra into the ropes and catches her with a high clothesline as she comes back. Chamelion looks on, worried as Nightmare goes for the cover.

shoulder up.
Nightmare,
frustrated, heads to the turnbuckle as the ref checks on Sandra. Chamelion gets
on the apron to cut him off but the ref goes over to Chamelion to force him
down. Nightmare thinks twice about where both Chamelion and PX are, on the
outside and turns and heads back for Sandra. As he gets close, Sandra executes a
swinging neck breaker but the move takes em both out!
Rentfro:
What happens if they both get counted out!?
McDaniel:
I don’t think I want to know. Titles
have been held up long enough as it is.
The ref reaches 8 before both combatants get to their feet. Nightmare tries a roundhouse kick but it is blocked. Sandra lays in the forearms and whips Nightmare into the ropes, catching him with a back elbow as he comes back. Sandra goes over to the top rope and climbs up as Nightmare gets to his feet. Sandra gets a cross body block from the top, and goes for the cover,

shoulder up!
Sandra
picks Nightmare up by his hair, but Nightmare retaliates with a jawbreaker.
Nightmare then tries a martial arts kick to the side but Sandra holds him there.
Nightmare then catches Sandra with a stiff enziguri kick to the head. Nightmare
stops for a moment to catch his breath, and then goes for the cover.

AND A HALF!
Rentfro: Chamelion has got to be breathing a sigh of relief after that one.
McDaniel:
So is Project X. Nightmare is
looking a bit frustrated at the moment. He needs to regain focus and not let
Sandra get her second wind.
Nightmare
bangs his fists on the mat and then picks Sandra up again. He rests her on his
shoulder and signals for a running power slam, he starts running but Sandra
fights out and pushes him chest first into the turnbuckle. Sandra then catches
Nightmare as he staggers back with The Lobotomy.
Rentfro:
Sandra hits the Lobotomy! It’s over!!
McDaniel:
But both of them are tired and it looks like neither one can...wait a
minute...what the
Chamelion is cheering on Sandra when from behind comes Project X. X starts beating down Chamelion and Chamelion tries to fight back. The ref goes over to try and break the two corner men up as Sandra covers Nightmare.
Crowd: 1

3!
McDaniel:
HEY REF! TURN AROUND!
Sandra gets to her feet after what would have been a three count and starts to head towards Chamelion and X. She’s yelling for them to stop, frustrated to all hell, and Nightmare, dizzy, rights himself and realizes this may be his best chance, he runs over and spins Sandra around and hits The Broken Arrow! He covers, hooking Sandra’s leg and the ref sees it out of the corner of his eye.
1!
A crotch kick knocks PX back and Chamelion turns, beginning to dive into the ring!
2!
PX grabs Chamelion’s foot suddenly, ripping him back out! He then tries to dive in.
3!
DING! DING! DING!
X, back in the ring, tackles Nightmare too late, and begins to fight with him, forgetting Chamelion for the moment. Sandra, holding her head, looks around in confusion, when Chamelion eases her from the ring and ushers her to the back. In the ring, El Rey returns and drives PX off, who is cussing angrily.
Eric Emerson: The winners of the match, and NEW PWA TAG-TEAM CHAMPIONS; El Rey de Corazones and Nightmare!
Rentfro: I honestly can’t believe it!
McDaniel: Psycho-X broke down in the end. PX couldn’t keep it business, and then got physical with Chamelion, allowing Nightmare to take advantage of Sandra’s distraction!
Rentfro: They had a good thing going, but it didn’t last. Now, though, I bet you Chamelion is going to have more then words with Project X. But what about Sandra? Her best chance to be a champion.. she was ignoring X the best she could… how will this affect her and Chamelion!?
McDaniel: Good question. He kept out of it, till X attacked him, but Sandra didn’t see that, she saw them fighting.. and she knows Chamelion wasn’t happy with PX’s affections.. she may end up taking it out on him.
El Rey and Nightmare hoist their titles in celebration as Project X stomps up the ramp, his attention likely…elsewhere. Perhaps as a joke at his expense, the violinists walk behind him, playing a swan song, and it cracks the crowd up.
Rentfro: *laughing* you get what you pay for!
McDaniel: That was a hell of a ride for the tournament, with different outcomes expected then what we got. El Rey and Nightmare have a lot of competition ahead of them, eager to dethrone the new champions. But that’s not the end of tonight, as we have much more to come!
GRUDGE
MATCH
Raizzor vs. Thunderwolf
Rentfro:
Jon, I gotta say, this next match is one I thought I would never see, at least
not in a sanctioned PPV!
McDaniel:
I share your sentiment. The PWA was
turned on its ear when Thunderwolf came back.
Everyone believed he had been retired due to a bad turnout at Night of
Armageddon, and was no longer eligible to compete.
Rentfro:
Goes to show you the power of the Sommers Brothers if they can finagle a
contract out of that. Still, Since
Thunderwolf’s return, he hasn’t been living up to his potential; rumors are
circulating that his personal life has gotten in the way, and his focus for
wrestling is pretty much shot.
McDaniel:
Perhaps that’s the case; but when he came into the UFT Tournament, he signed
on to team with Raizzor… and they could have gone far… now, had Wolf lost
the match via being pinned, I doubt Raizzor would have been too angry; for
he’s a man who understands personal problems.
But Wolf walked out on him.
Rentfro:
And that’s just something you don’t do, not unless you are willing to pay
the price, and that’s why this match has been signed.
Raizzor feels that if Thunderwolf really is past his prime, this is the
match to end it all.
McDaniel:
But if Wolf is playing possum, then perhaps it will be his final shining moment.
I spoke with Raizzor backstage, and he says that a lot of his animosity
has been dealt with, that he understands Wolf’s position more then Wolf may
know. What Raizzor said he was going
to do was to try to have a real wrestling match with the man, and give them both
the best props possible.
McDaniel:
Knowing these two, that’s bound to happen anyway; let’s get to the ring for
the announcements.
DING!
DING! DING!
Eric
Emerson: Ladies
and Gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is the
Grudge Match!
The fans
erupt to their feet, straining to see the stage.
Eric
Emerson:
Introducing first!
(The
sound of the mighty Atlantic crashing into one of the many shores of
("Now
or Never". Dope. The fans that get it are automatically
launching out fanfare, and while it's meshed in-between a number of cheer's, but
mostly boo's for tonight's match up, it comes across loud and clear in what
could be described as at least somewhat of a massive cult roar, especially from
those faithfuls....)
###
What'd you go and do that for? ###
### I see the way you're Looking at me... ###
### ...And I don't know why ###
###
I don't know and I'm not sure... ###
### ...Have you lost your way? ###
### ...Did You Lose Your Mind?
###
###
...Are You Out of Time? ###
Eric
Emerson: He
weighs in at 194lbs!
(The
last note of the aforementioned song seems to catch, right on the 30 second mark
as aqua-toned fountains of sulfur pour down from the scaffold - which in turn
cues a dimly lit spot light on the entry way as former AOWF alumni, Dustin
"Thunderwolf" Kelser strolls out from the back, with ironically no
out-dated, retired gold lining the former's waist. He finally got the memo.
Nonetheless the screen above begins ticking off various moments from Wolf's
career as the camera gets a close up on the video, but doesn't last for long as
the camera tilts back down to catch Wolf passing under the sulfuric storm from
the scaffold.)
###
You say goodbye... ###
### Like everything's all right. ###
###
You say goodbye.... ###
###
Like everything's all right... ###
Eric
Emerson: I give
you, the Legend; THUNDERWOLF!
(Thunderwolf's
attire consists of camel colored cargos, an open, short sleeve, button down
cotton shirt(cadet blue in color), black and blue K-Swiss classics (laced up in
blue), and a pair of super thin, black, finger tip gloves. He adjusts his color
before walking to the center of the entry way.)
###
If we go on it's now or never ###
### If we go on... ###
(Thunderwolf
heads for the ring.)
###
If we go on it's now or never ###
### If we go on... ###
(Upon
reaching the main floor, and instead of diving in immediately, he instead
decides to circle the ring, and finally hop up onto the apron after grabbing the
bottom on the opposite side from where he started. Dustin then leapfrogs the
ropes and does a couple of hops from toe to toe to keep the blood flowing. He
backs up into his neutral corner and awaits the opening bell...)
The house lights dim,
as the image of a red ouroboros flashes on the monitor.
Eric
Emerson: And his opponent….
Three
quick drum beats pick up and then a GONG! Echoes, preceding the voice of Raizzor
saying…..’Dead Man Walking!’….and the arena lights die down as a red
eerie glow illuminates the arena. The lyrics pick up as the stage begins to
cloud over with a mist and a shadowy shape takes form within the growing fog.
##You've done it now
You've gone and made a big mistake
and I can't allow, you to think you can just walk away
so turn around, and face the piper you're gonna pay
'cause the end is now
this is gonna be your judgment day##
Eric Emerson: He weighs in at
285lbs........he hails from Las Vegas Nevada..........
The music and lyrics continue to illustrate the
tension that permeates the entire arena... and the shadowed figure begins to
move forward, breaking out of the mist to reveal the Soul-Taker.
##You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
there's no forgiveness this time
You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
It's my business, your mind
You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
I'm burning these ones to the ground
You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
I'm gonna Bring you down##
Eric Emerson: Known
as the Original Franchise of the PWA.....the Soul-Taker..........RAIZZOR!!!!!!!!
Moving with a slow dedicated purpose, Raizzor
stalks to the ring. He comes to the steps, where he stops and shrugs off his
leather duster, letting it fall to the floor around his feet. Raizzor steps into
the ring.
##No more chances,
No more excuses, no lies
your stories ending, time to say your goodbyes
nice guys, it's said they always finish last
but bad-asses, are always kicking asshole's ass##
asshole,
kick it
With his chest rising and falling slowly, Raizzor moves around the ring with
slow steady steps, never taking his eyes off of Thunderwolf.
##You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
there's no forgiveness this time
You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
It's my business, your mind
You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
I'm burning these ones to the ground
You're gonna Pay, You're Gonna Pay
I'm gonna Bring you down##
Finally, he enters the ring and prepares for the contest at hand.
Rentfro:
Raizzor looks to be in the best shape of his life.
McDaniel:
They continue to mock him, but when it’s time to step up, he usually does, and
he always prepares 100% for it! Project
X, Elimination Chamber, you name it, this man has been against the best!
Tonight though, he has to rise above the best, and face Thunderwolf, one
last time!
Rentfro:
You can have all the championship matches you want,
but put these two in the ring, and it’s The Main Event!
DING!
DING! DING!
As
the bell rings, Wolf and Raizzor step into the center of the ring.
They stare at each other, with Wolf speaking something no one can hear
but Raizzor. In response, the Soul-Taker just listens, his fists clenching and
unclenching. This continues for a full minute, as Wolf grins as if he has no
care in the world about being in this match.
McDaniel:
Seems Wolf doesn’t feel too threatened by this
encounter.
Rentfro:
He should be, whether or not he cares, he still has to fight Raizzor, and the
Soul-Taker has every intention of taking this match to the limit!
Finally,
the two men back off and begin to circle each other looking for an opening.
They lock up and each try to take control. Raizzor pushes, and sends Wolf
falling backwards. Wolf is quickly back to his feet and both men circle
again before locking up a second time. This time, Wolf returns the favor
and sends Raizzor stumbling back into the ropes.
Rentfro:
A test of strength by both men finds them pretty much equal during the opening
moments!
Raizzor
nods and again they circle each other. On the third lock up, Raizzor takes
control and puts Wolf in an arm bar. Wolf however, reverses the arm bar
and then strikes Raizzor on the back of the head. Raizzor drops to his
knees, and flips forward, taking Wolf down with an arm drag. Raizzor then
elbows Wolf in the chest and quickly gets his feet under him. He stands
back, his eyes cold and calculating as Wolf pulls himself up.
McDaniel:
Raizzor backed off, giving Wolf time to recoup. Not the wisest move a
wrestler can make.
Wolf
checks himself, and they lock up a fourth time. This time, Wolf puts
Raizzor in a headlock, but Raizzor pushes him off into the ropes. As Wolf
comes back, Raizzor side steps Wolf and drops to the mat and as Wolf comes back,
Raizzor extends his legs and sends Wolf flying over him to the canvas.
Raizzor jumps up as Wolf does, and goes for a clothesline that Wolf ducks.
Raizzor stops, turns and gets a kick to the midsection, and then DDT’d
to the canvas. Wolf stands, backs up to the turnbuckle and leans on it..
Raizzor shakes his head as he stands back up.
Rentfro:
Now Thunderwolf gave Raizzor some room… very strange.
Raizzor
rubs his head, and the two men go at it a fifth time. This time, Wolf
knees Raizzor in the stomach and as he bends over, Thunderwolf drives a
double-axe handle between his shoulder blades and drives Raizzor down to his
knees. Then Wolf hits a swift kick to the kidneys and flips Raizzor over.
McDaniel:
The sportsmanship is over.. let the war begin!!
Thunderwolf
tries for an elbow drop, but Raizzor rolls away and crawls back to his feet. He
glares at Wolf, but moves forward to lock up again!
Rentfro:
Raizzor is determined to win this by wrestling it seems!
McDaniel:
He said he was gonna go for a sporting edge, and he apparently means it.
Raizzor
and Wolf lock up in the center of the ring, and Raizzor takes advantage with a
headlock on Wolf. Raizzor squeezes with his arms, tightening the grip.
Thunderwolf shoves Raizzor away into the ropes and Raizzor comes off of them,
ducking a clothesline from Wolf. Off the other ropes, Raizzor returns and
shoulder blocks Wolf to the mat. Thunderwolf rolls to his feet and gets
scoop slammed by Raizzor. Raizzor goes to pick up Wolf, but he kicks
Raizzor in the face and nips back up. Wolf then hits Raizzor with three
hard punches before sending him to the mat with a drop kick!
McDaniel:
Great see-saw action between these two!!
Raizzor
pulls himself up, but Wolf is on him, kicking his leg out from under him.
Raizzor falls back to his knees, but leans forward, grabbing Wolf and giving him
a Samoan like drop over his back to the mat.
Raizzor then scoots behind Wolf, lifts him up and applies a sit down sleeper
hold. Wolf struggles, and reaches out, grabbing the ropes!
Rentfro:
Good thing the ropes were there!!!
Raizzor
releases the hold and climbs to his feet with Wolf slow to follow. Raizzor
moves in, but Wolf elbows him in the stomach, backing Raizzor back. Wolf
then attempts to DDT Raizzor, but Raizzor grabs Wolf, spins and throws him off
to the center of the ring. Wolf stumbles up, and Raizzor runs and bulldogs
him to the canvas. Raizzor then climbs to the top rope and flies,
connecting with an elbow to the back of Wolf's head. Raizzor rolls Wolf
over and covers him!
ONE…
TWO…
KICK OUT!!!
McDaniel:
THAT was close!!!
Wolf
wearily gets to his feet but Raizzor is quick to send a kick at Wolf. Wolf
grabs the leg and flips Raizzor over. As Raizzor crashes to the mat, Wolf
grabs his other leg and flips over, sitting down on Raizzor's
chest while holding his legs under his arms. The ref goes for the count..
One..
Two…
Th/Kick out!
McDaniel:
Nice pin attempt by Wolf!
Back
on their feet, both men slug it out violently, but Wolf ducks Raizzor, spins
around behind him and hooks his arms around Raizzor's
waist. Wolf lifts up hard and sends Raizzor over and to the mat in a
bridge pin! The ref counts.
ONE…
TWO…
Raizzor
gets his arm up, and rolls both men over.!
Rentfro:
Whoah, Wolf is really taking it to Raizzor!
Wolf
picks Raizzor up and whips Raizzor to the ropes, but Raizzor reverses the whip,
sending Wolf to the ropes.. Wolf holds the ropes and stops and Raizzor misses
the Yakuza kick he was going for. Wolf, with Raizzor spun by the kick and his
back facing Wolf, grabs him and goes another backdrop type move. Raizzor flips
back off his shoulder, grabs the ropes and lands on the apron. Wolf isn't sure
what happened and looks around, confused, but with his back toward Raizzor on
the apron. Raizzor springs off the top rope just as Wolf turns and catches him a
massive flipping neck breaker. He makes the cover...
ONE…
TWO…
Kick
out!!!
McDaniel:
What a move by the Soul-Taker! He flew as if he was a luchador there!
Rentfro:
He’s doing things I don’t think he’s ever tried before, to get the
advantage!
Raizzor
picks him up and whips him into the ropes and catches him in a spine
buster slam and goes for the pin again...
ONE…
TWO..
Thre/kick out!!!
Rentfro:
Raizzor nearly put Wolf away with that one!!!!
Raizzor picks him up and whips him into the corner, and follows up with a body splash. He chops Wolf once.
**CHOP!**
The
audience "WOOO!"s. Another chop-- another
"WOOO!". Wolf suddenly grabs him and throws him into the corner. Wolf
shoulder blocks him in the corner a few times, then backs up and lets him drop
the mat. Wolf then goes to the turnbuckle and makes the climb. As Raizzor gets
up, he stumbles into the ropes, causing Wolf to fall and crotch himself. Raizzor
sets him up for a top-rope Frankenstein. The count...
ONE…
TWO…
THREE/Kick
out!!!
McDaniel:
Did he get him?? DID HE??
Rentfro:
NO! The ref is holding up TWO.. Oh, man, how close is that??
Raizzor
can’t believe it, but knows better then to argue with the ref, and turns his
attention back to Wolf. Raizzor picks up Wolf and whips Wolf into the
ropes and goes for a Shoulder-block, but Wolf slides between his legs. He grabs Raizzor's
legs and sweeps him onto his face. Wolf locks him in a bow-and-arrow. Raizzor
grabs the ropes right away and Wolf releases him. As Raizzor is rising Wolf
stomps him a few times. Wolf grabs his chin and throws on a camel clutch. Wolf
stands up, pulling Raizzor up with him and turning the camel clutch into a cobra
clutch. Wolf sets up a full nelson, and tries to wrench Raizzor’s
neck!! Raizzor, realizing what's happening, grabs his head and does a kind of
front neck breaker. Wolf falls, but recovers fast.
As Raizzor makes a break for the turnbuckle Wolf follows. Raizzor jumps onto the
second rope, jumps off and turns in midair. He catches Wolf in a reverse
bulldog. He goes for the pin!
ONE….
TWO….
Kick
out!
Raizzor
then drags Wolf to the corner and sets him up in the corner and turns him
around. Raizzor sets him up to do a German suplex
off the top. Wolf grabs his head and does a really strong-looking snap
mare, causing Raizzor to flip over his shoulder and land with his feet
just barely on the apron.
Rentfro:
Wolf won't go down!! He's taking the fight to Raizzor!!
Wolf
still has his head in an inverted front headlock. Wolf sets up and executes an
inverted swinging DDT!!! The audience is going wild. Again, Wolf picks Raizzor
up and knees him in the stomach,
lifts him up and head butts him. The ref immediately
gets in his face and starts yelling at him, but Wolf pushes him back. Raizzor,
meanwhile, staggers back bleeding above his eyebrow, in the same spot of his
tattooed scar. Wolf tries to grab him but Raizzor rams a right hand into his
stomach. Raizzor starts tenderizing his stomach with punches. Raizzor grabs him
and whips him into the ropes. Wolf comes back and tries to shoulder block him,
but Raizzor drops and drop-toe holds him. Raizzor sits on Wolf's back and grabs
him a camel clutch. Wolf is waving his arms trying to the ropes. He seems to
pass out after almost a minute. The ref checks his arm. One. Raizzor looses the
hold a bit. He checks again. Two. Raizzor doesn’t let go but Wolf suddenly
jumps up and falls backs, crushing Raizzor. Wolf stays on him and goes for the
pin.
ONE…
TWO…
Kick
out!!!
Rentfro:
Strong offensive by Wolf, he's got Raizzor reeling!
Wolf
lifts him up and blasts him with a right hand to the jaw, staggering him back.
Wolf hits him with another one, dropping him to the mat. Wolf goes to pick
Raizzor up but Raizzor hooks the back of his knee, dropping him to the mat.
Raizzor runs into the ropes and baseball slides into his groin. Raizzor stands
up and starts stomping on Wolf, who is writhing in pain. Raizzor climbs up top
and hits an elbow drop on Wolf. Raizzor picks him up and sets him up for a power
bomb. He can only pull Wolf half-way up, then tosses him forward. Raizzor
makes the cover and hooks the leg.
ONE…
TWO…
KICK OUT!!!
McDaniel:
The Raizzor dominated that segment, and Wolf looks to be in great agony!
Raizzor
picks Wolf up but Wolf jumps up and throws his arms back. Wolf starts throwing
right hands into his face. After 2 or 3 punches Raizzor blocks one and throws a
punch back at him. Wolf punches him back and Raizzor counters with the same
again. After a few more rounds, Raizzor goes for a punch and Wolf blocks, and
punches him low in his abs. Raizzor buckles and Wolf clobbers him, flooring the
larger man. Wolf then picks up Raizzor and without warning, connects with The
Cry of the Wolf!. Wolf goes for the pin
ONE…
TWO…
THREE/NO!!!
Rentfro:
He KICKED OUT!! RAIZZOR KICKED OUT!!
Wolf
sits there, stunned, as Raizzor rolls away and drops to the floor outside,
nearly out. The crowd is explosive and Wolf simply can’t believe it.
McDaniel:
It almost looks like Wolf is in another world.. he’s dazed.. he’s looking at
the ref like he’s from another planet. But the ref is showing him two..
Raizzor did kick out.
Rentfro:
Wolf stands, shaking his head in shock, and walks slowly over to the ropes!
Wolf
reaches the ropes and looks down. Just then, Raizzor pops up and grabs his
legs, pulling Wolf outside the ring. Raizzor
drives his forearm into Wolf’s chin and then whips him into the guard rails!
McDaniel:
MAN! It’s almost like it’s a second Raizzor!! Where’d he get this
energy???
Raizzor
reaches Wolf just as he gets back to his feet and they throw fists at each
other. They brawl around the ring and Wolf slams Raizzor into the steel
steps. Wolf then pulls out a table from under the ring and sets it up.
Wolf grabs Raizzor and body slams him onto the
table. Wolf jumps onto the ring apron, up the turnbuckles and comes off the top
with a leg-drop on Raizzor! The table shatters and both men lay there exhausted.
Rentfro:
That should be a DQ!!!!
McDaniel:
I think the ref understands this match has to have an ending! I think we’ve
just arrived at a hardcore match, unofficially!!
Raizzor
struggles with all his might and crawls back into the ring. Wolf follows
him, and manages to get to his feet first. Raizzor stumbles to his feet
just as Wolf kicks him in the groin. Wolf slides out, grabs a steel chair from
ringside and returns to the ring quickly. The
glare in his eyes says he does not like the way things are going, and he means
to end it his way, right away! He grabs Raizzor's
hair and stands him up. Wolf winds up and smashes him in the head with the
chair. Raizzor shakes his head and gives Wolf the finger. Wolf hits him again
and again he eats it. Wolf, pissed now, hits him so hard that the seat of the
chair pops out and flies off and the chair frame hangs around his neck. Raizzor
starts bleeding now and falls back against the ropes. Wolf pulls the frame off
of Raizzor, who looks delirious, Wolf locks him in a headlock, and then turns it
into a sleeper hold!
McDaniel:
After the chair shots, this could do it for the Soul-Taker!
Raizzor,
possibly panicking, turns his body and quickly grabs Wolf, picks him up and
throws him over the top rope to the floor outside. Shaking his head to
clear his senses, Raizzor slides
through, but Wolf kicks him in the face, taking him down hard. Raizzor gets up
and Wolf tackles him lifts him up and rams him into the ring. Wolf whips him but
Raizzor reverses it and Wolf hits the guardrail. He gets up and Raizzor
clotheslines him into the audience. Raizzor tries to reach over, but Wolf
punches him in the throat. Raizzor stumbles back into the ring. Wolf
follows but somehow Raizzor is ready, Raizzor runs at him for a spear but Wolf
ducks and Raizzor goes over him and through the ropes, again to the outside.
Wolf runs across the ring, goes into the ropes, comes back and baseball slides
him from under the ropes. Raizzor staggers back and Wolf slingshot body blocks
him over the ropes to the outside. Wolf lifts Raizzor up and tries to bash his
face on the guard rail but Raizzor grabs the rail, then bashes Wolf's face into
it. As he staggers back Raizzor kicks Wolf in the stomach and he buckles over.
Raizzor suplexes him onto the guardrail. Wolf's back
arches and he falls onto his shoulders in the ringside. Wolf slowly recovers as
Raizzor picks him up and throws him into the ring. Raizzor then pulls Wolf
up be the hair and whips him into the ropes and, on the way back, catches
him in a belly-to-belly suplex. Raizzor goes for the
pin.
ONE….
TWO….
TH/Kick
out!!!
Rentfro:
Wolf just won't stay down, he's really tough!
Raizzor
picks him up but Wolf elbows him in the stomach. As Raizzor buckles over Wolf
lifts him up and sidewalk slams him. He holds his leg and locks him in an ankle
hold. Raizzor flails his arms around trying to get a rope but he can't. He kicks
Wolf in the face, suddenly, dropping him to the mat. Raizzor picks him up and
sets him up for a Russian leg-sweep. Wolf elbows him in the side, turns around
and takes Raizzor down with a reverse Russian leg-sweep of his own. Raizzor is
up on his knees in a flash holding his face. Wolf gets in front of Raizzor and
starts hammering his face into the canvas!. Raizzor falls onto his back. Wolf
runs into the corner and climbs up top. He goes a frog splash, but Raizzor gets
his knees up and Wolf bounces off him, holding his stomach. Raizzor gets up and
picks Wolf up. He whips Wolf into the corner. Raizzor runs up in front of him
and sets him up on top. Raizzor heaves him down for a massive superplex.
Wolf rolls away, but Raizzor grabs him and lifts him up. Another whip to
the ropes, but Wolf reverses the move, and drop kicks Raizzor back outside!
Wolf follows and grabs for Raizzor, who elbows Wolf in the groin! Both men
begin to fight up the ramp! Wolf drop kicks Raizzor and turns, stumbling
to the top of the ramp. Raizzor quickly climbs to his feet and follows.
McDaniel:
These two won't give up! Now they're heading up the ramp! Where will this
end?
At
the top of the ramp, both men exchange hard punches, and Raizzor seems to get
the advantage. Raizzor punches hard, and Wolf teeters
on the edge of the ramp! Raizzor then charges to shoulder block Wolf off,
but Wolf kneels and back body drops Raizzor over the side and ten feet down into
the catering area! Food erupts in an explosion as Raizzor hits the table,
breaking it and falling nearly unconscious to the
floor. Chants of HOLY SHIT erupt in the arena and Wolf stands at the top of the
ramp, hardly able to believe what he just did.
Rentfro:
Security is down there.. so are medics.. they’re all surrounding the table,
trying to get Raizzor out of there..
McDaniel:
Is this it?? Is the match over?? What’s going on?
The
medics seem to cover Raizzor and we can’t make out a thing. Wolf
staggers back to the ring and crawls inside. He’s unsure what’s going
on as well
Rentfro:
OH MY.. I Don’t believe it!!
McDaniel:
He’s crazy!!
Raizzor
breaks through the crowd of medics and stumbles back to the ring holding his
left arm. He glares up at Wolf and defiantly climbs the steps and gets
back in the ring. The ref is over to him quickly, ensuring if he can
continue and Raizzor viciously nods his head. Wolf
looks stunned…
Rentfro:
Raizzor isn’t going to let this end any other way then in the ring!!
Raizzor
flips Wolf off, and it does the trick as Wolf moves in for the kill.
Raizzor suddenly kneels down and drives an elbow into Wolf's stomach. Wolf
backs away in pain and Raizzor presses the attack, attempting
to clothesline him. However, Wolf is able to grab Raizzor and
arm-drags him to the mat. Wolf then applies a headlock from behind,
wringing Raizzor' ears.
McDaniel:
I don’t see how Raizzor is gonna fair against Wolf
now.
Raizzor
bends forward a little, getting his legs under him. Standing, Raizzor
pushes back and crashes Wolf into the corner. The impact makes Wolf let go
and Raizzor stumbles forward. Wolf is quick to recover and attacks, giving
Raizzor a bulldog to the mat. Wolf quickly rolls Raizzor over and goes for
the cover.
ONE…
TWO…
Kick
out!!
Rentfro:
Amazing strength still left in Raizzor!
As
Raizzor tries to stand, Wolf grabs him and hooks Raizzor' arm over his head.
Grabbing his trunks, Wolf attempts to lift Raizzor up into a suplex,
but Raizzor slips his leg in between Wolf's and blocks the move. Wolf
tries again, but then Raizzor grasps onto Wolfs
trunks and lifts, taking his opponent over and crashing Wolf to the mat!
McDaniel:
Good reversal by Raizzor!
Raizzor
quickly stands, turning and drives his knee down into Wolf’s
side a couple of times. Now firmly in control, Raizzor picks up Wolf and
whips him into the ropes. As Wolf bounces off, Raizzor hits the Big Boot,
and Wolf slides onto his back, dazed. Raizzor
then hefts Wolf up, grabs him by the throat and goes to choke slam him, but Wolf
punches Raizzor right in the face. Raizzor grabs his nose and backs up and
Wolf takes four quick steps backwards. Wolf charges, but at the last
moment, Raizzor twists, grabs Wolf’s outstretched
arm and takes him down with an arm bar, which
Raizzor quickly turns into a "Crippler's Cross-Face!"
Rentfro:
Smart move by Raizzor!! Now he's got Wolf in a classic submission move!
Raizzor
pulls hard on Wolf, trying to get him to submit. Wolf struggles as hard as
he can and finally reaches the ropes! The ref orders Raizzor to let go,
and Raizzor obeys. Raizzor stands and backs off, cracking his neck,
getting his bearings back in place.. Wolf rubs his chin as he stands,
eyeing Raizzor wearily!. The two men then lock up in the center of the
ring, each trying to get the advantage. Wolf knees Raizzor in the gut,
then as he bends in pain, Wolf hooks his hands under Raizzor and lifts him up
into a Gut-Wrench power bomb! Wolf then uses
the ropes for momentum and hits a hard leg drop on Raizzor. Wolf goes for
another cover.
ONE…
TWO,..
THR/KICK OUT
McDaniel:
There seems to be no quit to the Raizzor!!!
Back
on his feet, Wolf picks up Raizzor and whips him into the ropes. Raizzor
comes off and ducks the clothesline attempt by Wolf. Off the other ropes,
Raizzor shoulder blocks Wolf to the mat. Raizzor then goes to the ropes
again, and Wolf flips to his stomach. Raizzor runs over him tot he other
side and Wolf stands up. Raizzor moves in and Wolf hip tosses Raizzor.
But Raizzor flips completely, landing back on his feet. He turns, but then
gets hit by a drop kick by Wolf and flies through the ropes to the floor
outside!
Rentfro:
Looks like this match is expanding!!
Wolf
slides outside and attacks Raizzor, ramming his head into the surrounding guard
rail. Raizzor elbows Wolf in return, backing him off. Raizzor turns
as Wolf attacks but Raizzor drop toe-holds him to the floor. Raizzor tries
to get back in the ring but Wolf drags him back out and the two men exchange
hard punches. Wolf hits Raizzor twice, backing him up. Wolf then
scoop slams Raizzor to the hard floor. Wolf slides back into the ring.
Raizzor is back on his feet, crawling back into the ring. Wolf is angry,
he goes to grab Raizzor, who rolls out of his way and back to his feet.
Wolf turns and the two men attack, punching back and forth. Wolf then
tries for a hard left hand, but Raizzor catches him with an arm
bar and spins around and takes him down with a hard DDT. Wolf rolls
to his hands and knees, and Raizzor crouches behind him. He tenses and as
Wolf stands and turns, Raizzor grabs him, hooks him up and delivers The
Tombstone Shoulder Breaker!! The crowd is on it’s feet and screams out
with the count…
ONE…
TWO…
THRE/Shoulder
up!
McDaniel:
NO! Wolf got his shoulder up!!
Rentfro:
But look at Raizzor, he’s not even blinking! He’s just grabbing Wolf!
Raizzor
picks the nearly unconscious Wolf up, turns him over and again hits the
Tombstone Shoulder Breaker! But
instead of covering, he grabs Wolf, picks him up and turns him over for a third,
regular
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING!
DING! DING!
McDaniel: RAIZZOR WINS!! RAIZZOR DEFEATS WOLF!
Rentfro: HOLY SHIT, I never thought it possible! The Soul-Taker has bested the Legendary Wolf!
Eric Emerson: The winner of the match……………RAIZZOR!
As “You’re Gonna Pay’ plays loudly among the cheering fans, Raizzor backs against the ropes, using them to hold him aloft. From the back, Chamelion, Sandra and Jasmine all come to the ring, sliding in and embracing Raizzor. Breathing heavily, Raizzor lets them help him to stand upright, and he looks across the ring to Thunderwolf. Wolf, using the corner himself to stand up, looks back and the two men stare for a moment before each moves towards the center.
Rentfro: Uh oh.
Raizzor lifts a hand so that Chamelion doesn’t follow, and Wolf and Raizzor meet in the center, much like they did at the beginning of the match. Both men are silent, the cocky grin from Wolf long gone. Raizzor then extends his hand. The crowd roars louder then ever.
McDaniel: Raizzor’s offering a hand shake! What will Wolf do!?
Rentfro: This isn’t some cliffhanger serial, man!
Wolf stares at it…he looks at Raizzor almost as if he’s crazy. But then, shaking his head, he grips Raizzor’s hand and they shake, once, before Wolf rips his hand away and slides out of the ring, walking slowly up the ramp with out looking back! The rest of the family then comes in to celebrate with Raizzor one more time.
McDaniel: Wolf came back, and he put up a valiant effort! Say what you want about the man, but he’s a qualified professional, and ego or not; has earned his status in the world of professional wrestling!
Rentfro: Yes he has! This may be his forever last match, but I don’t think the end result justifies just what he has meant for the sport over all!
McDaniel: And Raizzor, knowing just what it takes to stand against him, put everything on the line and didn’t cut any corners; and it paid off. The Soul-Taker scores his first ever singles victory over Thunderwolf, and it’s a night I know he’ll never forget.
Rentfro: Yeah, yeah, I’ve given my fair share of props. But this wasn’t for any gold! We have a world title match next, man! Let’s get to it!!
As the Sommers Family exits the ring and makes their way up stage, Eric Emerson enters the ring, ready to do the honors.
PWA
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP
MATCH
Mark McNasty (C) vs. Alex Wilkie vs. Matthew Engel
Eric Emerson: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a three-way elimination match. Introducing first, hailing from Bailey's Bay, Bermuda...
A rain of cheers and boos comes down as everyone knows who's about to come out. The lights go out, and dark green pyros shoot off into the air. We can hear over the PA system a different crowd at a different time. There is cheering and chanting, like a cult. Suddenly, a voice comes over.
A light... in the black...
or just a fear... of the dark.
A live version of "Fear of the Dark" by Iron Maiden plays over the PA system as more dark green and now teal pyros shoot off. There is chanting from the real crowd and the crowd playing over the sound system, because despite who comes out, there is a huge fan base of Iron Maiden in the crowd.
Eric Emerson: He stands six feet even...
I am the man who walks alone
When I'm walking down a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
Matthew "Virus" Engel appears from backstage. Graham Cain, Impulse, Gregory Price and Dead End are behind him, dressed in their usual black tailored suits. They have the matching sunglasses, and the evil intentions to go with. Matthew is dressed in a darker colored tuxedo, however. It's almost black, with a hint of turqoise. It's hard to explain, but you get the picture. They make their way down to the ring.
Eric Emerson: ...and weighs in tonight at two hundred and twenty pounds...
Have you ever run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Matthew, Cain, Price, Impulse and Dead End make it to the ring. The MoA remain outside the ring as Matthew steps in. He proceeds to take off his jacket and dress shirt.
Eric Emerson: He is the leader of the Masters of Armageddon... he is "THE VIRUS" MATTHEW ENGEL!!!
Fear of the dark -- FEAR OF THE DARK!
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark -- FEAR OF THE DARK!
I have a phobia that someone's always there
A louder pop from the crowd, but mixed with boos and cheers. Matt removes his restricting apparel and is left with a wife-beater shirt, dress pants, and wrestling boots. It's always been that way, he's just representing a darker color, and a darker side. An unforgivable side. The music dies down and Matthew waits in his corner.
Eric Emerson: And one of his opponents, hailing from Seattle, Washington...Eric
Emerson: And the champion, hailing from Atlanta,
Georgia...
