"End of the
Line"
May 23rd, 2008
Live on
from America West Arena - Phoenix,
Arizona.
Before Rampage officially begins,
we are taken backstage to the office of the President of the PWA.
You can hear the roar of the fans as Raizzor comes on screen, dressed in
a black business suit and looking a bit uncomfortable in the outfit.
His hair is brushed back behind his ears and he looks serious and stoic
as he addresses the fans and superstars of the PWA.
Raizzor:
Greetings. As you all know by now, I
secured full ownership rights to the PWA one week ago by besting my brother in
an inferno match. As of now, things
here in the PWA will change. I will
be keeping my hands out of the action in the ring as much as I can, unless life
is surely at stake. However, I
expect all my superstars to understand that I will have no issue with hitting
them with fines up to and in excess of their weekly takes of the gate.
If you want to break my rules, you will pay out of your pocket for it.
To the point you will be working for me for free.
Never the less, for the most part, I expect everyone to handle their
affairs on their own. Do not come to
me with bribes, as Deadpool tried with my brother.
Do not come to me begging for things because you feel you’re getting an
unfair shake. Deal your own business
and make things happen without the expectations I will hold your hand.
He pauses for a moment.
Raizzor: PWA
fans, last week you held the power, and you made some amazing choices.
Now, it is my turn, and I promise you one hell of a show!
Raizzor offers a half smile when there is a knock at the door. He speaks for the person to come in. Raizzor's half smiled turns into a scowl at the appearance of the person, which we can not see save for the back of long flowing red hair. The scene switches to the ringside area with Brian Rentfro and Jon McDaniel.
McDaniel:
Welcome everyone to Rampage!!
Rentfro:
We’ve coming off a huge PPV event, as High Stakes soared to new heights in buy
rates! The fans having control,
deciding the matches, made each one as unpredictable as the next!
McDaniel:
And in that evening, we crowned a new PWA World Champion! Corey Lazarus has
finally made the big time, the A-List, the blockbuster ratings by capturing the
World title over Lex Demise!
Rentfro:
We also saw Kindred take the PWA TV Title from Circa, in a grueling match.
McDaniel:
However, Nightmare, The Razordolls and Riona Langly all managed to hold on to
their belts!
Rentfro:
A strong showing by all! But tonight
is all important for many of our superstars.
McDaniel:
Indeed. We’re going to see Fire
take on Alex Wilkie one on one. After
Fire sided with Chamelion, Wilkie is out for a bite of revenge. He
has the advantage, having bested Fire in the BWF more then once.
Rentfro:
Yeah, but she’s now hooked with the Most Devious SOB in the Business today,
and I bet that will turn the tide!
McDaniel:
Speaking of Chamelion, he teams with the Virus, Matthew Engel to take on the
current #1 contenders to the PWA Tag-Team titles, The Dead Pool!
Rentfro:
The Deadpool are mad men, I wonder if Raizzor knew what he was doing sending his
brother to the wolves.
McDaniel:
I’m not so sure, he DID team him up with the new leader of the M.o.A., so you
gotta expect Chamelion and Virus will have some major back up if things go
wrong.
Rentfro:
And on hand tonight, in a match two months in the making.. Enika Engel will
finally get a chance to put the nail in Project X’s coffin, once and for all!
McDaniel:
This all began just weeks after the PWA opened, with Project X winning the World
title in a keys to glory contest, and subsequently threw everyone out of the
ring. Enika took exception, and chased Project X… in fact, she was supposed to
face him for the PWA World Title at Who’s The Man!? But Project X put her on
the shelf, leading to Raizzor taking her place and defeating Project X.
Enika has her eyes set on putting PX down and reclaiming her spot in the
world title hunt!
Rentfro: and then there's our main event! As the heat between Mark McNasty and Phoenix comes to a head in a BATTLE DOME MATCH!!! Now, lets go to the ring with our first contest!!
The lights go dark in the arena as mist starts to float through the ramp way area. All of a sudden you hear the soft sounds of a piano as the spotlight focuses on the entrance ramp. As soon as the thunderous guitar riff of Nine Inch Nails' "Just Like You Imagined" Pyros explodes throughout the arena and out walks The Deadpool: Deacon Frost & Bronx Williams.
McDaniel: Wait, they're not scheduled to be out here just yet! What's going on!?
Rentfro: Hostile take over!?
Both men pauses at the top of the
entrance ramp, as per Japanese tradition, the steamers come flying over the two
men. The two make their way down to the ring area. Frost makes his way up the
ring steps and steps over the top rope. Frost stands in the middle of the ring
scanning the crowd.
Deacon Frost: Heh, What did I tell all of you. Most importantly what did we tell
you Project X and
The Crowd: Deadpool!!! Deadpool!!! Deadpool!!!
Deacon Frost: That’s because now, you’ve put yourself in danger…therefore
it’s not promised that you’ll make it to even get a number one contendership
match. With that being said I know many wonder why would two men even risk their
careers like that.
Deacon Frost: Please do.
Deacon Frost: And then there is Jon Cage…who is probably still sore that you
handed him his ass when you were HiC High Impact Champion. But that’s ok,
because soon he won’t be feeling a damn thing. But you guys will get yours at
a later date. Tonight we have more pressing matters.
Deacon Frost: Fine…Longoria
Deacon Frost: Damn…I knew you were gonna say that. Hell, let’s go ask Jacob.
Deacon Frost: Deal!!!
Both men drop their mics and leave the ring. Their music plays as they make
their way up the ramp way and through the curtain.
Bud: Fire, I would like to
have a word with you please.
Fire looks over at him and sighs.
Fire: Okay what do you need?
Can’t you see I’m in a hurry?
Bud nods knowing she is getting
ready to go change for her match.
Bud: I want to know how you feel
about facing Alex tonight.
Fire: How do I feel? Seriously? I
am excited. I want to give him a defeat he will never forget. I want to send him
running home to his mommy.
Bud: Do you really think you can do
that? After all you have never beaten him.
Fire glares at Bud with a look that
could kill anyone.
Fire: Of course I can! I am willing
to bet he is underestimating me, and that will be his downfall. Sure he has
beaten me before, but it will not happen again. I am going to take everything he
loves away from him. I will make him pay with his life for the insults he has
given me recently.
Bud thinking it wise steps a few
steps back away from Fire.
Fire: Is something wrong Bud? Are
you afraid of me?
Fire smirks evilly.
Fire: As you should be.
Bud: What do you think of
Chamelion’s wife Sandra attacking you at the last PPV?
Fire glares even more at Bud
wanting to rip him apart but knowing its currently not wise stands her ground.
Fire: What do I think about that
bitch? I want to rip her apart. If she thinks she can show up and attack me just
because I was kissing Chamelion she has another thing coming. It’s not the
first or the last time my lips will ever cross his, and she will just have to
get over it. I will not bow out of this without a fight, and if she keeps poking
her nose around here she will end up with the fight of her life! Now this
impromptu interview is over. I have a match to get ready for.
Fire walks away from Bud as he
shakes his head glad to escape with his life, he turns and walks past the
locker room of the undefeated PWA Grizzly Beer Champion, Riona Langly. As we
peer inside, Riona's
locker room is fairly bare at the moment, as Riona is currently stretching and
loosening her body out before her match with Corey Lazarus. Her head and body
are still wrapped as shown by the tank top.
There is a knock at her door, and Riona calmly stops her yoga styled stretch to
answer the door.
Nightmare smiles to her as Riona opens the door. Ledge accompanies him, leaning
against the doorframe.
Nightmare: "Hey there, Riona. Just wanted to drop by before your match.
Mind if we come in?"
Riona: "I guess not... I mean, I don't have alot of time to warm up tonight
though. Dunno why we're not main eventing."
Ledge notices her attire and remembers her pre-match rituals.
Ledge: "...well, don't let us stop. Please, stretch away."
As Ledge steps inside the room, Riona gives him a bit of a glare... a friendly
one if there ever was one... and goes back to her stretching, but at a far less
provocative style.
Jonathon walks inside, removing his shades as he smirks at his friends'
exchange.
Nightmare: "By the way, congratulations on your win. Hell of a match."
Riona: "Hell doesn't really describe how I'm feeling right now... When I
work the deathmatch style in Japan, it's usually against people my size. Not a
giant like SNS... felt really good to finally shut him up though."
Ledge: "...apparently you haven't been watching his promos for the past
week. Not that I can blame you."
Riona: "Yeah, but that's just empty words, Nick... He's DONE. He doesn't
have a leg to stand on anymore, not against me. He lost 3 times, the last in a
gimmick he chose."
Nightmare: "Your match this week, however, Riona.... Well, it's obvious
Corey's a wanted man. Be careful not to get hit in the crossfire."
Ledge: "Wanted? Oh please, Jon. I can hear his ego inflating from
here..."
Jon chuckles and shakes his head in amusement.
Riona: "I don't fear The L-A-Z, and I don't fear those that try and go for
him. He's the World Champion, he should have EVERY laser sight pointed at
him."
Nightmare: "I wasn't referring to Lex Demise, but more the MoA. I know
you're a warrior, Riona, but I know how these people operate. I've fought with
them and against them."
"While it's true that they have one active wrestler that people know about,
they have far more men than that to back him up."
Riona: "Jon, Nick... I appreciate the concern here. I'm not gonna do
anything really stupid."
Jonathon nods. His belief in his friend is evident.
Riona: "I mean... look at me. Do you think that I'm stupid enough to... oh,
wait, don't answer that."
Ledge: "Hmmm...a self burn. Not an easy feat to accomplish. I would offer
you some rubbing alcohol to treat it with, but...well...you know how that might
turn out...."
He sends Riona a playful wink, though he's sure she'll react more strongly.
Riona: "I'm not on anyone's radar... sorta pisses me off. I work my ass off
and get no recognition except for snickering on that fuckin' radio shit."
Ledge: "I wouldn't take it too personally, Riona. They have the former
World Champ in a dark match this week."
"Anyway...it really is good to see you to, Riona. It's been far too
long."
Riona: "I know, Nick... it's been, what... 3 years? NoA 5?"
Ledge: "Heh, at least."
Riona: "Well, it's probably for the best. I'm a whore, haven't you
heard?"
"I swear, I'm gonna be defined for what happens on the outside of the ring
rather than what happens in it."
"Though, I guess it's a new status to be told you're a whore every week.
It's better than being told to MOVE by every other opponent as if it's funny the
300th time."
Nightmare: "And people would rather focus on Nick's drug problems."
"I say let them focus on whatever the Hell they want. We'll focus on what
matters: kicking their asses and not bothering with taking names. We'll be
taking the gold while they take notice. And if they don't learn to shut their
mouths?"
"Then we shut them FOR them."
Jon gets a wicked smirk on his face.
Ledge: "All I know is that whoever has that TV title when I get my shot
better be ready. I'm not some gimpy loser that's to be taken lightly, and I
intend upon proving that fact."
Riona: "I'm facing Duff... yeah, that's a contest. Someone I've beaten
nearly every time we've been in the ring together."
Jonathon's smirk of focused confidence is all he needs to say in regards to his
next big match.
Nightmare: "For now, however, focus on Corey and beat him. His being world
champion is only a temporary condition. Trust me."
He re-dons his signature Gargoyle sunglasses and flashes a smile to his friend
that leaves no doubt as to who he's backing in the match. Ledge nods to her in
respect, and the two exit the locker room. The door closes behind them, and you
are transported away.
PWA TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Kindred (c) vs. Scott Nash Strader
Eric
Emerson: The following match is to a single pinfall or submission and
is for the PWA TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP!
The fans erupt in cheers, looking forward to the battle ahead.
Eric Emerson:
Introducing first, the challenger...
The lights in the arena dim as the opening riff of “5 Minutes Alone” hit’s
the PA system. The ADCtron lights up with a headshot of Scott Nash Strader
looking down, with his blondish hair hanging in his face. He slowly lifts his
head as the words to the song begin.
Eric Emerson:
Hailing from
### I see you had your mind all made up you group of Pitiful liars. ###
### Before I woke to face the day, your master Plan transpired. ###
### Something told me- this job had more to Meet the eye. ###
### My song is not believed? ###
### My words some- What deceiving? Now I'm unwhole. ###
Eric Emerson:
SCOTT NASH STRADER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Scott Nash Strader steps out from behind the curtain he closes eyes and looks
upwards leaning on his cane.
### But you can't crush the kingdom ###
### Can't be what your idols are. Can't leave the scar. ###
### You cry for compensation. I ask you please just give us... ###
Scott begins his descent down to the ring, rolling inside once he hits ringside.
Taking his corner he watches the entranceway with a stern glare.
### 5 minutes alone ###
### 5 minutes alone ###
### 5 minutes alone ###
Rentfro:
You know Scott Nash Strader is going to put everything he has in this match.
McDaniel:
Indeed, Brian. Not only does he have a shot at PWA gold, he's seeking to prove
he still belongs here after repeated losses to Riona Langly.
Rentfro:
And let's not forget Kindred's attack upon Strader's girlfriend, Tana, making
this into a personal vendetta for Scott.
McDaniel:
Speaking of the lovely Tana, she will be accompanying us here this evening as a
special commentator for this match.
Eric Emerson:
And now, the champion...
McDaniel:
I wonder where he'll enter from this week.
Rentfro:
As long as he stays away from me I don't care.
Eric Emerson:
Weighing in at 200 pounds, and standing at 6 foot 4, he is Kindred!
"Wasteland" by 10 years hits the PA and the fans are as confused as
always when Kindred comes out of wherever it is he comes from. Spotlights pan
the arena, but he is nowhere to be seen. He does not emerge out from under the
ring or announce table. He does not appear at the stage. Then the spotlights
converge upon a spot in the crowd, where Kindred is seen amongst the fans.
The fans seem surprised, but it doesn’t stop them from cheering. Kindred looks
side to side, looking at the fans, before he starts the march down to the ring,
Nightmare accompanying him.
He slides under the bottom rope and into the center of the ring when the lights
dim and a spot light falls on him.
He holds himself in an Indian seat until he realizes there's light over him.
Rather than run from the light, he simply looks up, as if looking to the
heavens, his expression that of a man finally at peace with himself.
DING! DING! DING!
Referee Cole Tate calls for the bell to begin the match. SNS charges Kindred
with a football tackle, but Kindred rolls out of the way, causing his opponent
to crash into the turnbuckles. Kindred spins around into a leg sweep, knocking
Strader's legs out from under him. Kindred applies a seated side-headlock to his
adversary, working over Scott's neck. Scott Nash Strader powers back to his feet
and throws his foe off him and into the ropes. Kindred springboards off the
ropes with a cross-body block. Scott catches him, however, and plants him into
the canvas with a falling body slam.
Strader pulls his adversary back to his feet, applying a rear waistlock and
delivering a release German suplex. Kindred uses the momentum of the throw to
roll him back to his feet, and, as Scott turns around, delivers a stunning
flying side kick to his opponent. SNS stumbles back into the corner. Kindred
follows after him, hitting a corner splash then leaping onto the top rope to
drive his foe into the canvas with a cattle branding. Kindred kips up to his
feet and flips into the ropes to deliver a spinning senton splash onto his
opponent. Kindred hooks the leg for a quick pinfall.
One...
Two...
McDaniel:
And Scott kicks out with authority, literally sending Kindred into the air with
the force of that kick out.
Tana: I'm new to this 'sport', but I know
Scott well enough to tell you that he's not a man who gives up that easily. He's
always been a fighter.
Rentfro:
Which he proved at High Stakes, despite losing the match.
Kindred hops up to his feet and measures his adversary. As Strader pulls himself
to his feet, Kindred fires a crescent kick straight for his foe's head. Scott
Nash Strader catches his opponent's leg, however, and swings him up across his
shoulders to execute the Scotch Valley Driver. SNS lifts Kindred high into the
air into a vertical suplex position as he calls out for the Hangover Deluxe.
Kindred fights and kicks, struggling his way back down to his feet and reversing
the move into a brain buster of his own.
Rentfro:
Reversal!
McDaniel:
Big reversal.
Kindred applies a double chickening to his opponent and lifts him into the air.
Scott Nash Strader forces his way back to his feet as he tries to break free of
the hold. Before he can do so, however, Kindred sends him up and over to crash
down onto the canvas with a suplex. Kindred maintains his grip as he attempts to
go for the pinfall.
One...
Two...
SNS kicks out, freeing himself from his adversary's clutches. The two men get to
their feet and begin exchanging blows, forearms and fists, chops and elbows.
Each rocks the other, but neither will give ground to the other. Scott fires a
stiff punch into Kindred's face that finally pushes him back. Strader sends a
couple more punches into his foe's midsection then winds up for a huge haymaker.
Kindred ducks the blow, grabbing his opponent's arm to deliver a short-arm
clothesline. Kindred applies an arm wringer then drives his foot into his foe's
face with a side kick.
Rentfro:
Things aren't looking too good for SNS right now.
Tana: He'll rally back, trust me.
McDaniel:
I believe you. I've seen it happen before.
Suddenly Scott Nash Strader surges forward with a growl of frustration, taking
his foe down with a double leg-takedown. SNS drives fist after fist into his
opponent's face, ignoring Referee Tate's reprimands. Finally Strader backs off
at the four count... only to charge the rising Kindred and deliver a wicked knee
smash into the side of his adversary's head. Scott executes a quick snap suplex
and follows it up with the Hangover Deluxe. Strader hoists Kindred onto his
shoulder and charges the turnbuckles, planting his adversary into the canvas
with an Oklahoma Stampede. Scott drops to make the cover.
One...
Two...
Three...
Rentfro:
Is it over? Did Strader win??
McDaniel:
No, Referee Cole Tate is telling Marcus to not ring the bell! Kindred got his
foot into the ropes just in time to save himself!
Tana: I can't believe it. Come on, Scott!
Finish him!
SNS gets into the referee's face, arguing against the call, claiming it was a
slow count. Unfortunately, this gives Kindred time to recuperate, which he does
as he nails SNS with a spinning dropkick from behind. As Scott Nash Strader gets
to his feet he is met with a super kick right to the chin, dropping him and
sending him rolling out of the ring.
Rentfro:
Gramlacking!
Tana: ....
Rentfro:
What? It's the name of the combo.
Kindred waits then runs back into the ropes, racing forwards to fly out of the
ring with a somersault plancha upon his rising opponent. Both men crash to the
floor, but it seems Kindred got the worse of the collision as his head is
spotted slamming into the ring barricade. This allows SNS to get to his feet
first, catching his adversary's legs under his arms to drill Kindred into the
ringside floor with the Cherry Whiskey Bomb!
Nightmare: Take it back into the ring,
Scott!
Scott Nash Strader flips off his friend as Nightmare comes around the side of
the ring, but SNS slides back inside the ring as the PWA IC Champion tends to
the TV Champion. Referee Tate begins the mandatory ten count.
One...
Two...
Kindred gets back to his feet.
Three...
He casts a glance to SNS then to Tana.
Four...
Tana: Keep away from me!
Scott rolls out of the ring, hurrying over towards Kindred. Kindred dives back
inside the ring, quickly followed by his adversary. The two men begin chopping
away at one another as soon as their to their feet. SNS whips Kindred into the
corner and spears him nearly in half! Scott Nash Strader places his foe on the
top turnbuckle and climbs up after him, signaling for the Over Rye Drive.
Kindred comes to his senses before Strader can execute the move, however, and
they begin fighting up top, jockeying for control. SNS is knocked off the turnbuckle
but manages to stay upright. He turns to attack his foe once again,
but Kindred flies off with a flipping neck breaker onto his opponent. Strader
drops to the canvas, and Kindred set him in the corner in a seated position.
Shadow Driver!
Rentfro:
This could be it. This could be the end of the match.
Tana: No! No no no! Get up, Scott! Please
get up!
McDaniel:
Kindred goes to the top once again, and he takes to the air with the Nightdrop!
Rentfro:
He nails it perfectly!
Kindred smiles down at his fallen adversary and wraps up Scott Nash Strader with
an inside cradle. Referee Cole Tate drops to make the count.
One...
Two...
Three-NO!
Kindred rolls off his foe and looks to the heavens with a look of pure anguish,
sobbing.
Kindred: "If I must...I will...."
Kindred slides out of the ring, heading towards Tana.
Rentfro:
What the Hell is he doing? Kindred could have won the match there!
McDaniel:
I hope he's not going to do what I think he's going to do....
Tana: Keep him away! Keep him away!
Tana turns to run, but she is caught by the arm by Kindred. He spins her around
and embraces her... gently. He seems to whisper something in Tana's ear, causing
her eyes to widen in shock and disbelief. Unseen by Kindred, SNS rolls out of
the ring and stalks Kindred from behind. Tana backs away from Kindred as he
releases her, spreading his arms as if knowing what is to come. Strader raises
his opponent high overhead in a gorilla press position then drops him into a
backbreaker, performing The Memory Remains. Scott drags his adversary back to
the ring and tosses him in under the ropes, sliding in after him. With a stern
and fierce expression upon his face, Strader hoists Kindred high into the air
before driving him into the canvas with the Finishing Touch.
SNS rolls Kindred up with a jackknife pin, and Referee Tate makes the count.
One...
Two...
Three...
DING DING
Eric Emerson:
The winner of this match... and YOUR NEW PWA TELEVISION CHAMPION! SCOTT NASH
STRADER!!
Rentfro:
It was a Hell of a match. Here's hoping SNS will be a Hell of a champion.
McDaniel:
Despite all he's had going against him, Scott Nash Strader has just joined the
elite, the champions of the PWA.
As Tana joins Scott in the ring to help him celebrate his victory, Nightmare
assists his friend Kindred to the back.
Rentfro:
That leaves us with only one thing unresolved. What did Kindred say to Tana?
McDaniel:
Our team in A/V has been reviewing that and are now able to answer that
question.
The arena monitors replay the scene of the embrace. This time, however,
Kindred's whisper is audible.
Kindred: For all the harm I've caused,
please forgive me.
McDaniel:
Tonight was really a story of redemption for both men, and it seems they both
achieved it.
Rentfro:
Indeed, Jon. Indeed.
The cameras cut backstage, where Corey Lazarus leans against a dressing room door. His forehead is placed against it, and the PWA World title is buttoned around his waist. His Ray Ban's are pushed up over his head, and he knocks on the door.
Lazarus: Alright, c'mon! I called you every day this past week, texted you a thousand times, and I even tried messaging your Myspace. Would you PLEASE at least say SOMETHING to me?
Silence. Corey pushes himself off of the door, shaking his head. He begins heading towards the Gorilla Position, his hands on his hips as he shakes his head.
Lazarus: Fine. What the shit ever.
Corey walks off-screen, and the camera zooms in on the
name on the dressing room door:
At this point, the camera turns quickly
to catch Seamus and Sean walking into another
room down across the hall. Sounds of breaking glass can
be heard from beyond the closed door. Bud Adams motions for the camera to come
with him, he has a microphone in his hand and heads for the closed door.
Sean: "Yeah, what you want?"
Sean: "Yeah, sure, come in."
Bud Adams is shocked that he is actually getting an interview with The O'Connor
Boys, not that their better than everyone else, they just don't do interviews.
Sean: "Seamus, we got some visitors,
The crowd is now heard chanting "0 and 2" Seamus cocks his head to the
side listening to the crowd's chant.
Seamus: "Well if we ain't it is a bad time to not be ready, because the
damn thing is here."
Sean has now finished wrapping his fists and wrists in tape. Seamus and Sean
meet at the pan full of broken light bulb glass. They press the taped portions
of their hands into the shards of glass and roll them around in the glass.
Sean: "Simple my man, pain, when we hit those two piles of smelly shit,
it'll cut them to shreds."
Seamus: "We put the sticky side of the tape outwards, you dumbass, so the
glass will stick to the tape."
Sean: "Now, it is time for our appearance, Seamus, get the weapons, I'll
get the other surprise."
SINGLES MATCH
Alex Wilkie vs. Fire
The intro to the Rage song “Bulls on Parade” begins to
sound through out the arena. It plays and thumps over the speakers, and finally
as the intro finishes, and the guitar begins to sound as if its on a scratch
board, the stage bursts with red fireworks, from behind comes Alex Wilkie,
sporting a shiny red leather vest, with the letters “A+” engraved in the
back, his eyes are covered by a pair of black sunglasses, and his face covered
by his golden grin. First, he stands in the middle of the stage, and then points
out to a few fans with signs, starting his long walk down the ramp.
Eric Emerson:
“Ladies and Gentlemen, making his way to the ring, weighing in at 250lbs, born
in
He stands at the middle of the stage, drops down to his knees, and points one
hand up to the sky and behind him, more red and white fireworks go off into the
top of the arena, he then gets off his knees and continues to walk down to the
ring, he rolls under the bottom rope, he hops back up and runs towards the
nearest turn buckle, tossing his red leather vest into the crowd, then pointing
to the lucky fan who caught it, the music begins to fade as he circles around
the ring…
Eric
Emerson: And his opponent….from
This Fire by Franz Ferdinand starts up and the fans boo
loudly as Fire and Chamelion appear on stage.
They smirk at the reception from the fans, turn and share a steamy kiss,
which illicit even a louder reaction. Hand
in hand, the couple make their way to the ring.
Chamelion hops up onto the ring apron and splits the ropes, allowing Fire
to step through. She waves an acknowledgment to the fans, while Chamelion taunts
Wilkie, who would like nothing better then to knock the Devious one’s head
off. The ref orders Chamelion out,
and he takes the metal stairs down to the floor.
The ref then turns and calls for the bell to begin.
DING! DING! DING!
Right away the two lock up, and Wilkie takes control. He maneuvers himself
behind Fire and then trips her up, taking her head first to the canvas.
Jumping up, Wilkie starts stomping on her. He looks over at Chamelion and
bad mouths him for all he’s done. Chamelion
just grins and points behind Wilkie, and when he turns back around he gets a
bulldog lariat form Fire.
Rentfro : That's what happens when you
take your mind off the match.
McDaniel:
He shouldn't be worried about Chamelion, He needs to focus on Fire.
Wilkie jumps back to his feet and gets taken down with an arm drag, he rises
and back down again with another arm drag. Before
he can rise, Fire drops an elbow to the throat and goes for the cover.
1.

Wilkie kicks out and Fire quickly goes to the top rope and attempts a top
rope clothesline but Wilkie ducks and she hits nothing but the canvas. Wilkie
takes the advantage and puts her in a reverse figure four. Fire struggles, the
pain on her face clear.
Rentfro:
Wilkie isn’t holding anything back here!!
McDaniel:
With what Fire did to him, can you blame him!?
Chamelion jumps up on the apron, causing Wilkie to break the hold.
Wilkie goes for Chamelion and Fire grabs him form behind and gives him a
fast release German suplex. They are both out with that move. Wilkie, however,
slowly gets up before Fire. He walks over to her and gives her an elbow drop. He
stands back up and gives her a leg drop. He goes for a pin.
1.
2.
2 1/2
Shoulder up!
McDaniel:
It looked like Wilkie had the match won with that pin.
Wilkie gets pissed and is looking to end the match quick. He signals for the
Grade ‘A’ Stunner. He grabs Fire and goes for it and Chamelion jumps up on
the apron again. The ref tells him to get down. Wilkie lets Fire fall to the
ground and starts yelling at the ref to get Chamelion off the apron. Chamelion
gets down and when he turns around Fire kicks him in the gut and gives him a
swinging neck breaker. She picks him up and whips him to the ropes and gives
him sidewalk slam. She picks him up again and throws him in the corner and with
the last bit of his energy he reverses but he falls to the ground. Fire hits the
turnbuckle and lays against it, catching her breath. Wilkie runs at her and
jumps to do a flying body press but she moves and he hits the top of the ring
post. He staggers back and turns woozily into Fire’s Scorching Soles!
He falls hard to the canvas and she covers!
1.
2.
3!
Immediately Chamelion slides into the ring and embraces Fire, holding her hand up!
Eric Emerson: The winner of the match, FIRE!!
Rentfro: Yeah, the hot babe wins!
McDaniel: With more then a little help from Chamelion, AGAIN!
Rentfro: Hey, it’s not his fault that Wilkie kept getting distracted!!
McDaniel: In a way it is!! Whoa look!
The crowd explodes as Psycho Sandra jumps over the railing from the crowd and dives into the ring. She shoves Fire to the canvas and pulls Chamelion around! Chamelion blinks in shock and actually cowers a bit expecting to get Lobotomized! Instead, Sandra grabs him by the back of the head and pulls him into a steaming kiss!!
Rentfro: WHAT THE!?
McDaniel: TOTALLY Unexpected!!!
Sandra backs away, looking angry but at the same time sad. Fire jumps up and spins Sandra around and goes to slap her, but Sandra blocks it and slaps her back! Finally back to his senses, Chamelion gets between the two women, separating them! He pulls Fire out of the ring, ignoring her shouting at him for letting Sandra kiss him, instead staring confused as Sandra just stands there.
Rentfro: I don’t get it, what is this about!?
McDaniel: It seems Sandra is digging her heels in to fight for Chamelion!!
Rentfro: Wow, lucky man!!
McDaniel: I wouldn’t necessarily say that!!!
Chamelion escorts Fire up the ramp, trying to calm her, as Sandra just paces the ring, her eyes mixed with rage and tears.
Rentfro: Hmm, I wonder what’s going on.
McDaniel: I’m sure in time, we’ll find out! We have to move on though, to a grudge match between Riona and Corey!
SINGLES MATCH
Corey Lazarus vs. Riona Langly
The cameras cut to the ramp, and Nightwish's "Planet Hell" cues up over the PA system. The lights dim, and the vocals kick in as Riona Langly steps out from behind the apron, limping slightly with bandages around her arm and midsection. The Grizzly Beer title hangs over her shoulder, and her hair is pulled back into a loose ponytail.
Eric Emerson: Introducing first, weighing in tonight at 142 pounds, and standing at 5 feet, 9 inches tall...
Riona lifts the Grizzly Beer title high up over her head, pointing to it quickly before wincing and lowering her arm back down to around her ribs. Langly drops the Grizzly Beer belt back to her shoulder, and then begins walking down the ramp.
Eric Emerson: ...hailing from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she is the current PWA Grizzly Beer champion...
Riona reaches the ring, and then slides in, using the ropes to pull herself to her feet. She climbs to the middle turnbuckle, holding the Grizzly Beer title out to her side, peering her eyes into the crowd.
Eric Emerson: ...RIONA LANGLY!!
"Planet Hell" fades out, and
is replaced by an old-fashioned film countdown on the ADC-Tron.
Eric Emerson: And introducing next, he weighs in tonight at 230 pounds, and stands at 6-foot-1...
Corey casually strolls down the entrance ramp, pointing out into the crowd at pro-Lazarus signs scattered all throughout the arena. He walks over and slaps a few high-five's with front row fans, specifically the more attractive ladies, and then walks up the ringsteps.
Eric Emerson: ...hailing from Hollywood, California, he is the PWA World champion...
Lazarus steps into the ring, and then walks right into the middle, his hands on his hips. The music dies down for a moment, echoing throughout the rafters, as Corey drops to a knee, his head bowed and a fist placed on the mat. The music comes back in a few seconds later, a faster pace now, and Corey jumps to his feet, spinning around in a circle with his arms out to his sides.
Eric Emerson: ...COREY LAZARUS!!
Corey unbuttons the World title from his waist, and then holds it high above his head as he backs into his corner across from Riona. The referee stands in the middle, making sure that both are ready to go. Riona and Corey both nod as they hand their respective title belts to ringside attendants, and the referee signals for the bell.
DING DING DING!
Rentfro: And don't forget that Lex Demise did a number on Corey, too, before Laz got lucky and won the Casket Match, so, luckily for Riona, HE'S not at a hundred percent either.
McDaniel: Very true. A tie up, Riona with the go-behind. Standing switch by Lazarus and he locks her in a hammerlock. Riona with a back elbow and a hammerlock of her own. Corey down to a knee now as Riona wrenches it in a little tighter...and he tells the referee that he's not giving up anytime soon.
Corey reaches underneath his legs with his free arm and grabs Riona's ankle. He trips her up and then quickly turns around, locking her in a standing anklelock. Riona rolls to her side to alleviate the pressure, and then kicks at Corey to try to break the hold. Lazarus breaks the hold and backs away, his eyes focused on her as she rises back to her feet. As the fans applaud.
Rentfro: Why are these fans applauding? It's not like nobody else can do a hammerlock or a leglock, or whatever it is that Corey just locked her in.
McDaniel: Because these fans know that neither Corey nor Riona are up to their normal standard of health, and to see them still showing how good they are on the mat is worthy of an applause.
Riona gets up, and her and Corey tie up again. Lazarus drops to a knee and takes Langly down with a fireman's carry, looking for a chinlock but Riona turns out of it, catching Corey with a kneeling armbar. Riona digs her elbow into Corey's shoulder, and he slaps it, trying to keep the feeling it it.
McDaniel: Riona with the advantage now as Corey is locked in the armbar...both up to their feet. Riona with a knife-edge chop!
Fans: WHOOOO!!!
McDaniel: And Corey doesn't like that and nails her back with one of his own!
Fans: WHOOOO!!!
Rentfro: What kind of a man hits a woman?!
McDaniel: Oh, shut up!
Corey cartwheels out of the armbar, and then nails a kick to Riona's ribs before whipping her into the ropes. Langly rebounds and ducks a back elbow attempt, hitting the opposite set of ropes.
McDaniel: Riona with a crossbody block...and Lazarus rolls through!
Rentfro: Ha! Riona reverses the fallaway slam attempt with a crucifix!
1!
2!
Corey gets a shoulder up, and Riona drops a pair of knees to his face. She brings him to his feet, nails him with a knife-edge chop...
Fans: WHOOOO!!!
...and then whips him into the corner.
McDaniel: Riona follows in with a high knee! Bulldog attempt...NO!
Corey holds on to Riona's waist, and then nails her with a big backdrop suplex. Riona rolls backwards after landing on the back of her head, sitting against the bottom turnbuckle pad, clutching her neck.
Rentfro: He could have just broken Riona's neck!!
McDaniel: I would give Riona a little more credit than that, Bria...WHAT IS THIS?!
Matthew Engel, Graham Cain, Dead End, and Orochi come storming down the rampway. Darren Ridel appears at the top, but doesn't make his way to the ring. He simply observes. Matthew Engel is in first and hits a huge dropkick on Corey Lazarus. Cain and Dead End take Riona down, smashing their boots into her skull and chest. Orochi looks on in the ring, making sure everything is going to plan. The ref calls it.
DING DING DING!
Eric Emerson: Ladies and gentlemen... this match has been called a NO CONTEST due to a double disqualifcation!
Rentfro: Oh come on! This was supposed to be a great match!
McDaniel: Yet it has been ruined by the MoA.
Rentfro: Well, you can't say they didn't deserve it.
McDaniel: What?
Rentfro: They've been giving Matt lip all week!
Matthew smashes his fists into Corey's face and stomach. Matt lifts Corey over his shoulder, holding onto his legs with one arm as he wraps his other arm around Corey's head. In a split second, Engel throws Corey's legs off of his shoulder and spins them around, he himself spinning to the side and falling to the mat, driving Corey face-first to the mat.
Rentfro: Sons of Plunder!
McDaniel: My God... Corey looks knocked out!
Riona is set on the top rope and Cain and Dead End both climb up to the middle rope. They hit a perfect superplex on Riona, who crashes to the mat. She's lying there next to Corey, both of them bleeding. Matt signals for a microphone.
Matthew Engel: "See...I really didn't want to do this, Riona. But, you pushed me. You questioned my decision, and I can't tolerate that. If you had just kept your mouth shut, Darren wouldn't have felt it was necessary to involve you in this. But, examples need to be made."
Matt dishes out another kick to Corey's ribs.
Matthew Engel: "We aren't dead. We're far from it, and well you might look down on the tactics we've used tonight, we felt they were necessary. As the saying goes, action speaks louder than words. We're proving that right here, right now. You want to wage a war with us? You go right ahead, Corey. Go right ahead. You too, Riona. I guarantee you it will be a war you both won't see the end of..."
Riona stirs a bit, but Dead End is on it as he slams his boot down on her chest.
Matthew Engel: "We are the future and the elite, ladies and gentlemen. You can either get out of our way, or you can end up like these two wasted talents right here. The choice is yours."
Matt throws the mic away, and goes down to one knee. He leans in towards Corey and whispers something in his ear. He gets back up to his feet, and signals for the group to leave. Cain, Dead End, Orochi, and Matthew Engel all leave the ring and head up the rampway. Darren has a pleasant look on his face.
McDaniel: This just isn't right... I don't know why our new President would let them get away with this.
Rentfro: I'm not quite sure that he cares at the moment... he's got a lot of stuff to deal with, settling in and all.
McDaniel:
Let's take a quick break.

TAG-TEAM MATCH
The Deadpool vs. Matthew Engel & Chamelion
DING DING!The cameras cut to the back, where Corey Lazarus storms around, shoving PWA officials and arena workers aside.
Lazarus: Where are they?! Where the f{bleep}k are they?!
Corey passes a few of the newer PWA wrestlers - Grim Reaper, Scar, and various local talent for non-televised matches - and doesn't even give them a glance.
Lazarus: Alright...anybody man enough to pick a fight with me?!
Corey turns, looking at anybody and everybody who passes him by.
Lazarus: Huh? ANYBODY?! You!
Corey grabs one unknown younger wrestler by the collar of his t-shirt, shoving him up against a vending machine.
Lazarus: You looking to pick a fight with me, kiddo?
The young, unknown wrestler stammers, unable to make a word, and Corey moves on. He spies Nightmare, drinking a bottle of water and talking to another young unknown wrestler, and then marches over to him.
Nightmare: Can I help you?
Lazarus: Yeah. You can.
Corey takes a deep breath, calming himself, and then crosses his arms over his chest.
Lazarus: Look...Jonahughe, everybody knows we're not the best of friends. Hell, chances are neither of us would piss on the other to put out a fire, right? But you have to have just seen what went on out there fifteen minutes ago.
Nightmare: Yes. And?
Lazarus: Well...see, I'm looking to pick a fight. There's six of them. One of me. Riona would probably be game, but she's in no condition to actually go full-tilt in a brawl when we're outnumbered three-to-one. So, what I'm saying is...
Nightmare: No. I'm not picking a fight with the MoA. Not for you. If it was anybody but you, Corey? Maybe. Maybe I would. But you only bring things down upon yourself. So have fun, Laz.
Nightmare walks away off-screen, and Corey looks at him as he does so, disappointment clouding his eyes. He shakes his head, biting his bottom lip.
Lazarus: Well...I guess some thing's a man's just gotta do on his own.Relax, close your eyes, take the quick break.
FEUD ENDING MATCH
Project X vs. Enika Engel
Rentfro:
Coming up next is one of my favorite ladies in the PWA, the very exotic...
McDaniel:
Shut up Brian, just shut up.
Rentfro:
You can't tell me to shut up.
McDaniel:
No, but Raizzor might, since he is the new boss here.
Rentfro:
Good point.
McDaniel:
Fans, we are in store for a great match here. It is a Feud Ender pitting Enika
Engel against the much larger Project X.
Eric Emerson:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the following match is set for one fall and is to settle
the feud once and for all between Enika Engel and Project X. Introducing
first...
The opening guitar riff to "Firefly" by Breaking Benjamin cuts in,
which cues a few swirling pink lights from the stage - no pyro's, no bullshit.
At the eleven-second break mark, Enika Engel steps out from behind the curtain
to something of a mixed reaction. Her attire consists of a pink zip-up hoodie -
left unzipped, with the hood up over
her head - overtop of a white ribbed belly shirt with a black "Exit
Music" insignia in the middle, rotated 35 degrees; along with a pair of
white booty
shorts with the name "Firefly across the back of them, black fingerless
mesh gloves, and lastly a pair of pink, w/ white fur, ankle boots. She looks out
to the crowd, quite excited on this eve - a smile drawn from ear to ear - as she
takes a few seconds to let it all sink in.
### You my friend, you're a lot like them...###
### But I caught your lie, and you know I did... ###
As soon as the opening verse kicks in, she makes her way down the entrance
ramp...
### Now I'm lost in you... ###
### Like I always do... ###
She keeps going until she reaches the bottom, her eyes now taken away from the
fans, and aimed down towards the ring, she pauses for a moment...
### And I'll die to win... ###
### Because I'm born to lose!###
As soon as the chorus gets ready to kick in, small pink blasts of pyro begin
firing behind her,
### Firefly! ###
She throws her head back (thus removing the hood from her head and in turn
revealing a white skull cap underneath) and sways her shoulders before throwing
a balled fist into the air, cueing a few more blasts of pink from behind her.
The ring announcer drowns out the lyrics...
Eric Emerson:
"Hailing from
She was a little disappointed that she didn't at least get her height and weight
called in, but it was no matter...
### Could you shine your light?###
### Now I learn your ways, 'cause they're just like mine. ###
She quickly makes her way from the bottom of the ramp, to the ring apron
itself...
### Now I'm justified, ###
### As I Fall In Line ###
Which leads to her non-chalantly lifting herself up and rolling under the bottom
rope, before springing back to her feet via kip-up.
### And it's hard to try ###
### When they're open wide! ###
She goes to the bottom set of ropes, and leans over, pointing to a few of her
friends in the front row - giving them and the camera man a bright, white,
gorgeous smile. She soon retreats to her corner and awaits the ringing of the
bell.
Eric Emerson:
And her opponent...
The house lights drop and are taken over by the illumination of red strobe
lights that dance about the PWA ramp. "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 jogs on the spot, preparing himself for
the task ahead. When the music reaches its peak, he bursts forth in a rush of
energy and launches his choke slamming arm up into the air as a jet of pyro
launches up behind him. He then makes his way to the ring with a purposeful
walk.
DING!
McDaniel:
These two have been at war for a long time Brian.
Rentfro:
Yeah, yeah, did you see Enika's shorts?
McDaniel:
Do I need to find someone else to do your job?
Rentfro:
Nope, I can handle it. Project X wants to lock up with the much smaller Enika in
the middle of the ring. See, I can call the match.
McDaniel:
Just make sure you do.
Enika rushes Project X in a blind rage, trying to do some damage but Project
X merely lifts his boot and she runs full steam into it. She pops right back up
and charges in again, eating a clothesline this time. Up again and this time she
goes down from an elbow. She spins onto her knee and dabs at her lip that has
been slightly bloodied. Project X laughs at her and taunts.
McDaniel:
This match will be over very quickly if that’s going to be Enika’s strategy!
Project X continues to taunt and jokingly offers a test of strength with Enika.
And is shocked to see her nod and accept. When Project X bends down to lock
fingers with Enika, she swiftly kicks him in the left kneecap. Immediately
Project X drops to the mat, now at Enika's height.
McDaniel:
Smart move by Enika, to bring the much larger man down, if you take out his
size, it is a pretty even match up.
Rentfro:
She is going to have to rely on her heart and determination to win this match up;
not to mention the speed and agility.
Enika bounces off the ropes, hitting Project X with a running dropkick to his
face. Project X reels backwards, but does not go down. Enika runs repeating the
move PX finally falls backwards. Enika goes for a quick cover.
1!...
Project X bench presses Enika through the ropes behind his head.
McDaniel:
Much, much too early to go for a pin, make the match last longer to wear down
the big man's stamina.
Rentfro:
She was probably trying to catch him off guard.
Enika is stunned on the outside as she picks herself up, staring back into the
ring. Project X is up and heads to the ropes as Enika jumps up onto the apron.
She tries to shoulder block Project X, but he merely laughs at her attempt.
Grabbing her sides, he lifts her up and over the ropes connecting with a toss
across the ring.
Rentfro:
What a power move, Project X has control and has slowed the match to his
mechanical pace.
McDaniel:
If Enika has a chance, she must keep up the fast paced action.
Project X walks over to Enika, lifting her up again into a gorilla press slam.
Enika is dropped hard onto her front. Project X rolls her over with his boot. He
places his boot on her chest.
1!...
2!...
Enika grabs the big man's ankle and twists it ferociously.
McDaniel:
Project X is a little too cocky in there for my liking. Especially with the
history between these two!
Rentfro:
Maybe tagging with The Phoenix in recent weeks has rubbed off on him.
Project X falls to the mat, but is too close to the corner and hits his head on
the top turnbuckle. He bounces back with his knee catching Enika in the throat,
knocking the wind out of her. PX lands on top of Enika.
1!...
2!...
Thr...
No! Enika's right foot barely makes it to the ropes before the three count.
Project X gets up a little stunned, but realizing he nearly had the match won
early gets furious with the ref's slow count. He chases the ref into the corner
arguing with him, giving Enika time to recoup and gain her bearings.
Rentfro:
Project X does have a point, that count was a little slow... I think it’s the
same ref from the Who’s the Man!? final!
McDaniel:
If it was or wasn't, Project X is making a huge mistake by not continuing the
assault.
The ref is looking up into Project X's face and does not see the low blow that
Enika hits on Project X. He grabs himself, closing his eyes in pain. Enika
pushes on the back of PX's knees causing him to buckle, she thrusts her right
arm between his legs as he falls rolling him up for a pin.
1!
2!
Thr...
Shoulder up!
Rentfro:
She won, she won!
McDaniel:
No, the ref is saying that Project X got his shoulder up at the last second!
Rentfro:
I thought that was three.
Enika is obviously frustrated, but continues her assault on Project X. Project X
is laying on the mat stunned as Enika climbs to the top turnbuckle and hits PX
with a knee to the gut. The wind is knocked out of him. Enika goes for the cover
again.
1!...
2!...
Project X again throws Enika off of him. This time he gets to his feet, stalking
towards Enika. He is all business now.
McDaniel:
Another pin in a matter of 30 seconds.
Rentfro:
Project X was maybe taking this match a little lightly, but he’s as serious as
a heart attack now!
PX bends down, and grabs Enika by the hair, dragging her to her feet. He grabs
her throat and hits the Probe in the middle of the ring. He then hits the ropes
and drops a leg drop for good measure.
1!...
2!...
Thre...
No! Enika somehow kicks out of the Probe Leg drop combo. Project X is in
disbelief now and building into a festering rage. He slams his fist into Enika's
stomach, doubling her on the mat.
McDaniel:
I thought surely it was over there.
Rentfro:
Never count out an Engel.
Project X scratches his head, thinking what else he could possibly do within the
limit of the rules when his eyes suddenly meet with the top rope. He climbs out
onto the apron and scales the turnbuckles one by one until he is looking down on
Enika. With a heave, he launches himself through the air, looking for the Crash
Landing leg drop but Enika moves at the last possible moment, leading to a very
loud impact as Project X crashes into the canvas.
Rentfro:
Project X just Crash Landed on nothing but mat!
McDaniel:
Very observant. I had no idea.
Rentfro:
Glad I could help.
Project X grabs the knee that Enika had kicked earlier in the match. Enika
sensing weakness bounces off the opposite ropes, and connects with a dropkick to
the injured knee of Project X. PX reaches up to try and prevent Enika from
hitting another move but is caught by a spinning roundhouse kick to his temple.
Enika begins to stomp away at the injured knee. She removes the padding there.
Now with nothing to soften the kicks, she stomps at the exposed kneecap.
Rentfro:
Enika is like a shark who has smelled blood, and is working over that kneecap!
McDaniel:
She has a tendency to single out one body part and attack relentlessly.
Enika does her best and somehow manages to drag Project X into centre ring and
apply a figure four leg-lock. Project X howls and screams in the pain, but his
much longer arms allow him to reach the ropes effortlessly. Enika breaks the
hold immediately and continues the assault on the knee.
McDaniel:
Tremendous ring presence by the older veteran Project X.
Rentfro:
Yes, but Enika is going to use the ropes to her advantage as well.
Enika wraps PX's leg around the bottom rope. She leaps into the air and bounces
down on the leg. The ref warns Enika and she backs off for a short time. Enika
heads back to the attack, but PX grabs the front of Enika's shirt.
Rentfro:
Rip it off, hell yeah!
McDaniel:
That is quite enough, one more outburst and I'll get someone out here.
Rentfro:
Can you blame me, I mean, Enika is really good looking.
McDaniel:
Well... Um...
Rentfro:
Exactly.
Project X pulls Enika into the corner, her head bounces off the top of the metal
ring post. She bounces back, blood running from her forehead. Throwing her hand
to her face to wipe away the blood, she turns around, with her back to Project
X. Sensing weakness and a possible victory, Project X shakily gets to his feet,
leaning on the ropes for support. Enika turns around and is hit by the Probe.
McDaniel:
The Probe! It is only the matter of the pinfall now!
Rentfro:
Usually, yes, but she kicked out of one earlier. Project X didn't get much on
that one here either, because of his weakened leg.
Project X stands back up with the help of the ropes and glares at Enika. He
wills himself forward and staggers over to pick her up. He gives the finger to
the crowd and hits the Crop Circle on Enika in the middle of the ring to a wave
of boo’s.
Rentfro:
Damn, both the
McDaniel:
She may be, but Project X isn't! He is climbing to the top rope for his Crash
Landing.
Project X makes the top rope with a struggle and dives, this time connecting
with the Crash Landing. He pulls his leg off of her throat and makes the cover.
Rentfro:
Stick a fork in her, she’s done!
1!
2!
Thre...
Project X yanks her head off the mat and laughs.
McDaniel:
Oh come on!
Rentfro:
Project X had the match won but he promised he was going to end Enika’s career
for good this time, and it looks like that’s what he has in mind!
The ref demands an explanation from Project X but he shouts something back at
him that rhymes with “Duck yourself!” and shoves the ref aside. Project X
looks up at the rafters and whistles for something. Pretty soon, a harness
becomes visible, descending down towards the ring.
McDaniel:
Oh no! Not again!
Rentfro:
Not even I want to see this. Somebody do something!
McDaniel:
Who’s controlling that thing!?
The harness reaches Project X and he begins to strap himself in as the ref
protests with every ounce of breath in his lungs.
McDaniel:
I don’t think Project X will be happy until he kills her!
Once he is strapped in safely, he swats the ref aside and grabs an already
beaten Enika Engel and locks her into a throat grip. They begin to ascend
together when a huge pop can be heard from the crowd.
Rentfro:
It’s the World champion!
McDaniel:
Thank God! Corey Lazarus is out to make amends for costing Enika the match at
High Stakes and save her from the monster Project X!
Lazarus slides into the ring and just manages to make it in time to grab Project
X by the foot as he continues to rise. Project X and Enika continue to climb
higher with Lazarus hanging on. Lazarus attempts to climb up Project X’s leg
but PX uses his free leg to put kicks into the World champion’s head. After a
succession of quick kicks, Corey is forced to let go and drops back down to the
ring, out of range.
McDaniel:
Damn it! There’s no stopping him now!
Lazarus is furious and curses up a storm, shouting up warnings to Project X as
he continues to rise.
10 FEET...
15 FEET...
Rentfro:
30 foot was the magic number that he dropped Enika from the last time!
Lazarus has one last desperation move in mind. He runs and jumps onto the top
turnbuckle and springboards himself upwards towards Project X and successfully
hooks himself onto the back of the big man, around his neck. He begins to choke
Project X out. They come to a stop at 15 feet above the ring.
McDaniel:
YES!!!
Rentfro:
Lazarus has to be careful, if he chokes Project X out, then Enika drops!
Project X struggles against the choke but maintains his grip on Enika’s
throat. Improvising, Project X throws a couple of backwards head butts at Lazarus
and both connect right on the nose. Lazarus loses his grip and falls 15 feet
back down to the ring but controls his landing and takes a minimum of the
impact. The Lazarus distraction bought Enika enough time to recover however, and
she pulls an electric taser out of her attire and zaps Project X with it.
Project X goes limp and releases his grip. Enika manages to catch hold of PX’s
shoulders just in time before she falls.
Rentfro:
She must have brought that taser into the match as a contingency!
McDaniel:
Come on Enika! You can do this!
Enika shakes off her grogginess and pulls herself up, planting her knees into
Project X’s chest. Once she has secured her position she begins to unbuckle
the harness as Corey Lazarus shouts his support. With a tug the harness comes
undone and they both begin to plummet. Enika proportions the weight so Project X
falls underneath and she extends her legs so her feet are in his chest.
15 FEET...
10 FEET...
5 FEET...
CRASH!!!
The impact is deafening as Enika drives Project X into the mat with a double
foot stomp from 15 feet up!!! The ring buckles but just about manages to stay in
one piece.
Rentfro:
A knockout blow!!!
McDaniel:
This match is still going folks! The ref hasn’t stopped anything! Cover him
Enika!!!
Enika rolls in pain as she jammed her knees a bit on impact, but she sucks it up
and crawls towards the comatose PX, dropping an arm across his chest.
1!...
2!...
Thre... No!!!
Shoulder up!!!
Rentfro:
This man is like the Terminator or something! He just can’t be stopped!
McDaniel:
She was so close!
Lazarus who had slid to the outside is throwing a fit. He rushes over to the
time keepers table and grabs the ring bell. He slides it into the ring and hops
up to the apron, grabbing the ref’s attention.
McDaniel:
Lazarus is giving Enika the extra advantage she needs to finish this mess once
and for all!
Enika grabs the ring bell and gets to her feet. Her face turns a rage filled red
as she screams at Project X to get the fuck up! It is a slow process, but
Project X shakes off the cob webs and begins to stagger to his feet. She takes
aim, lines up the shot and charges in, but as she does so, Project X extends his
arm and seizes her by the throat. She drops the ring bell beneath her and
Project X hoists her into the air, Probing her head first onto the ring bell
with an almighty DING!!! Project X knocks the ring bell aside and makes the
cover.
McDaniel:
No! Not like this!
The ref turns around at the sound of the bell impact but only sees Project X
covering Enika. He breaks off from Corey and slides into position quickly as he
can.
1!...
2!...
Corey runs in...
3!
McDaniel:
Project X takes the win, the dirty bastard!
Rentfro:
But a great, valiant effort from Enika Engel!
Project X quickly gets to his feet after the cover and ducks his head just in
time to back body drop a stampeding Corey Lazarus down to the mat. Corey pops
right back up and charges in even faster and harder, carried away in the moment.
Project X thinking on his feet, grabs the taser that Enika dropped and zaps
Corey Lazarus right in the temple as he comes in for a spear. The spear still
connects, but it is a limp body that comes down on Project X.
Rentfro:
He just zapped the World champion!
McDaniel:
Why can’t he just wrestle a straight up match for a change!?
Project X rolls Corey Lazarus off of him and drags him to the outside. He sticks
him in between his legs and power bombs him through the announce table. McDaniel
is furious and squares up to Project X.
McDaniel:
You’ve done enough damage, just go home!
Rentfro:
Easy Jon!
Project X laughs at McDaniel and re-enters the ring where a couple of medics are
seeing to head injuries sustained by Enika on the ring bell. He kicks the medics
aside and forces Enika back onto her feet, kicking the ring bell into place in
centre ring. He hoists her up and...
DING!!!
...another Probe onto the ring bell. Blood spurts from the back of Enika’s
head on impact and she starts to spasm.
McDaniel:
This woman needs medical attention!
It is raining rubbish in the ring as the fans show their disapproval. Project X
simply spreads his arms apart as if to bask in the moment, only inciting them
further. He gives them the finger again before picking a bloodied Enika back up
and once again hoisting her up into the air by the throat...
McDaniel:
Stop this maniac!!!
DING!!!
Enika doesn’t even move. Blood is flowing like water out of her head and she
is completely out cold. Project X steps over the top rope and leaves to the
outside.
McDaniel:
Good, get out of here! Maybe now we can get Enika the attention she needs!
Project X begins to walk up the ramp as a horde of medics, security and
referee’s charge past him. He comes to a stop.
Rentfro:
Uh oh!
McDaniel:
Just keep walking!
Project X turns back to the ring and looks under the apron where he pulls out a
length of barbed wire.
McDaniel:
This is too much! Hopefully the security can stop him now!
Project X enters the ring with the length of barbed wire as a horde of security
rush him but one by one they fall at the hands of Project X. The refs cower and
flee, leaving Project X with Enika once again.
Rentfro:
I’m hearing that the rest of our security team is tied up preventing a full on
assault on the ring by some of the other roster members, trying to get at
Project X! There’s no one else coming!
McDaniel:
I say let them come! Damn the consequences! Let the Engel’s and whoever else
is back there, come and rip this son of a bitch apart!
Project X ties a noose around Enika’s neck with the barbed wire and forces her
to her feet but she is only standing because he is holding her. Project X then
runs and launches her over the top rope, holding the other end of the barbed
wire, causing Enika to hang. The barbs dig deep into the flesh on the neck of
Enika but she doesn’t even respond in her present condition.
McDaniel:
Screw the help! Get the police, this has gone far beyond a wrestling match!
The crowd cheer suddenly as up from behind comes Corey Lazarus. He jams the
taser into Project X’s spine and he writhes onto the mat. He keeps it up and
keeps shocking Project X.
McDaniel:
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Corey Lazarus rips Project X’s mask off and jams the taser right into his
mouth, keeping his finger on the button. Project X writhes in complete agony as
volt after volt passes through his body. He then breaks off the shock therapy,
but only to check on the condition of Enika. Lazarus looks concerned and waves
for the medics to return to the ring. With the distraction of Enika’s
condition, Project X is given enough time to come to. He grabs his mask, rolls
out of the ring and escapes into the crowd, his mouth badly burnt from excessive
use of the taser. The crowd turn on him and shove him back and forth but none
daring to challenge an athlete his size any further than that.
McDaniel:
That son of a bitch gets off lightly for now, but this isn’t the last of this!
Rentfro:
No, but it may be the last of Enika. I think Project X unfortunately lived up to
his promise tonight.
McDaniel:
Folks, we will keep you up to date on Enika Engel’s condition every step of
the way. She managed to come back once from serious injury, we are praying that
she can do it a second time.
Enika is loaded onto a stretcher and taken towards the back with Corey Lazarus
by her side. The fans applaud the stretcher as it goes by but there is no
response from Enika as she disappears behind the curtain.
Eric Emerson:
...Um... the winner of the match by pinfall... Project X...
Crowd: BOO!
McDaniel:
I can't believe they let that monster get away with all this!
Rentfro: You heard Raizzor earlier, the superstars were now responsible for their own issues. But I wonder if Project X will find himself working for free for a few months!
McDaniel: That is the least that Raizzor can do to punish that son of a bitch!
Rentfro: Now Jon! If you thought the previous match was gruesome, the next contest is sure to elevate gore to a new level! The animosity growing between McNasty and Robinson came to a head a few weeks ago on PWA Radio when McNasty sucker punched Robinson, laying him out on the floor!
McDaniel: And now it comes down to this, a Battle-Dome match!! Once headlining it's own PPV, this major attraction is the center stage of the end of the road for these two men! No titles, no contenderships, just good old fashioned glory to the winner! Now, as the Dome is being prepped, we're told something big is going on back stage.
BATTLE-DOME MATCH
The Phoenix vs. Mark McNasty
Eric
Emerson: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is our MAIN EVENT!
And is to take place, in the BATTLE DOME! The rules are simple. The two
combatants will be lowered into the Battle Dome, which is 20 feet above the
ring, in harnesses. When the bell rings, they will be dropped inside, and the
first to throw their opponent out, and to the ground below, wins.
McDaniel:
Folks, I’m almost scared for McNasty and Robinson. This match never ends well.
Rentfro:
I see everything in the cage from kendo sticks, to a ball bat, to a pool
cue…hell, everything but the kitchen sink.
McDaniel:
Well, actually…it may not be from a kitchen, but two chains are holding up a
sink in one of the corners up there.
Rentfro:
wow…
“Whatever You Became” by “Cold begins to play, as a spotlight shines
horizontally above the battledome. As the song continues, we see Mark McNasty
being lowered out of the rafters.
Eric Emerson:
Introducing first, Hailing from
McNasty is lowered to five feet above the floor of the cage, and the harness
stops. The fans give McNasty a great pop as he is coming down. Finally, the
music goes quiet.
Eric Emerson:
And, introducing his opponent, he hails from
We hear, “IT’S THE FINAL, COUNT-DOWN!”
The fans give a loud mix of cheers and boos…but mostly boos, as the
McDaniel:
Now we play the waiting game.
As the music stops, we see both men staring at the other.
DING! DING! DING!
The harnesses snap, and both men drop.
Rentfro:
Bad start for McNasty.
McDaniel:
Well, while
Rentfro:
Key word “if“.
McDaniel:
Swing and a miss from
McNasty wastes no time getting to his feet, as
Rentfro:
GEZ-US! McNasty almost put a hole through
McDaniel:
I think its safe to say McNasty isn’t playing around.
A red boot-print is starting to form on Robs chest. Meanwhile, McNasty wastes no
time running over to
McDaniel:
Both men trying to take out the legs of the other.
Rentfro:
And just like that, both are up.
McDaniel:
But we both know they could go down again just like that.
Rentfro:
McDaniel:
AND HE…throws it like a Frisbee?
Rentfro:
And after a quick slump,
McNasty is on his back with the trash can a few inches past his feet, and the
stop sign on his left.
McDaniel:
And McNasty FINALLY gets in a good move.
Rentfro:
Too little too late I say.
We can see down at the two men’s faces, and
McDaniel:
I guess he wants to test his new toy.
McNasty seems content, and walks back to the downed
Rentfro:
This won’t be pretty.
As McNasty swings,
McDaniel:
That’s not a good sign. That move couldn’t hurt a disk in McNasty’s back.
Rayne: I think this is the part where we say “Don’t Try This at Home.”
McNasty is holding the back of his head with one hand, and reaching around for
anything with his other hand. As
McDaniel:
Look out!
The stick falls, and hit’s the concrete right in front of the announcers
table. A rather large piece breaks off, and flies right between the heads of the
announcers.
Rentfro:
Holy shit.
McDaniel:
That makes me hope Raizzor didn’t cancel our company health insurance for any
reason.
McNasty, still holding the trash can, pulls back, and swings one more time. He
doesn’t have a lot of force behind it, but he clips
Rentfro:
Obviously, that last kendo stick shot did a number to the back of McNasty’s
head.
McNasty is breathing heavy, as
McDaniel:
Is he going to do what I think he is?
McNasty looks uncomfortable as he quickly stands, but he still manages to do it
rather quickly. He only takes time to hold up an arm, getting a huge pop from
the crowd; before he runs at
McDaniel:
LIGHTS OUT!
Rentfro:
DENIED!
McNasty looks SHOCKED as he turns Around.
Rentfro:
THE FLAME!
McNasty lays on the cage floor. The crowd is on their feet, going crazy for the
action. In the cage,
McDaniel:
What’s
Rentfro:
Looks like he’s…dusting his shoulder off.
Rentfro:
McDaniel:
I think its safe to say McNasty got his second wind.
The crowd counts as McNasty slams his fist into
1!
2!
3!
4!
5!
Rentfro:
I’d be willing to bet its also safe to say
McNasty winds up, and decks
McDaniel:
Uh oh.
Rentfro:
I think McNasty might be interesting in seeing if the
McNasty has a truly sick smile on his face. He walks over to the door, and
unlatches it. McNasty then swings it open, and looks back at
McDaniel:
And that’s all they wrote folks…
Rentfro:
Will you open your damn eyes you pansy!
McDaniel:
Why?
Rentfro:
LOOK!
Apparently the slap from McNasty was enough to bring the
McDaniel:
Holy crap!
The screen splits, and on the left we see a reply. As McNasty’s boot is on
McDaniel:
I think Mark was trying to shake
Having not worked, McNasty now does the opposite, he balances on his good leg,
and uses the other to kick the door out as hard as possible.
McDaniel:
McNasty finally screams as he throws the kendo stick behind him. McNasty walks
up to the cage and yanks a pool cue off.
McNasty: PHOENIX!!!!
Phoenix
McNasty: EIGHT BALL, CORNER POCKET!!!
McNasty slams the pool cues tip through a hole in the cage, and nails him square
in the groin.
Rentfro:
TIMBER!
Phoenix
McDaniel:
He’s going to do it, isn’t he.
Phoenix
Rentfro:
I think so.
McDaniel - Rentfro:
HOLY SHIT!
It seems almost like slow motion as the fans watch the two bodies fall towards
the ring; spinning and circling in the air. In an instant its over though. The
commotion isn’t though. When the two men hit the ring, they go through that
too!
McDaniel:
Dear god.
It takes a second, but the ring almost implodes, as the corners buckle, and the
ring mat falls down towards the hole in the center of it.
Rentfro:
Now that’s a freaking ending to a Battle Dome match.
McDaniel:
But who won?
Rentfro:
I don’t know.
A replay comes on and shows the fall in slow motion, then the ring breaking.
After this, we go back to the announcers.
McDaniel:
Well folks, I’m being told we have a winner. Lets go to Eric Emerson for the
announcement.
Medical and ring staff are already around the ring, trying to dig out the two
competitors. Emerson stands by one of the corner, on the outside of the ring.
Eric Emerson: Ladies and gentlemen, after the referee reviewed the tape, it has been
determined that the winner is,
McDaniel:…yes…..
Eric Emerson: MARK McNASTY!!!!!
The fans start to cheer, while some boo. Its around this time that the
competitors have been dug out from the hole, and as they are put on gurneys, the
fans really begin to go crazy.
McDaniel:
The fans are showing their appreciation for both these men.
Rentfro:
Well Jon, I think this match certainly lived up to the legacy that is Battle
Dome.
McDaniel: It will be a miracle if both these men survived that horrendous fall! People, we're out of time!!! We'll have more for you next week! Good night!!!
