Tuesday Night Turmoil- October 16th 2007

[Prometheus]

TNT fades into an opening up of a shot of The One walking into the arena. He is walking with his duffle bag slung over his shoulder, and his trademark t-shirt on over a pair of blue jeans. Slowly a roar erupts from the Alabama crowd as they take note of him on the titantron, and without a word from the commentators, the scene then fades into the TNT opening video.

In the intro shots of high flying action is seen, hard hitting action, a shot of Scorch winning the WPW Championship, a shot of JMC hitting a pound of flesh, and about sixteen shots of Jesse Long, including five shots all from different angles of him winning the GOL Title on Live.

Daniel: Welcome everybody to Tuesday Night Turmoil!

Max: Ehhh… I think we need someone else to start making that entrance video…

Daniel: Why’s that?

Max: It’s getting a bit… Overboard…

Daniel: Hmm… Maybe so. Anyway, we have an action filled night ahead of us, only to be capped off with one of the most anticipated TNT main events in some time. The One’s final fight.

Max: His final match in WPW. I can’t believe it to be honest. I thought for sure he was the franchise player here.

Daniel: Who’s to say he wasn’t? Truth be told there’s only so much one man can take, and if you mix in Carlos’ constant oppression of The One with his fading desire to stay on the road, you end up with a man who’s ready to return to a normal life. Can you blame him Max?

Max: I spose not, I just hope he doesn’t get bored!

Daniel: Well if he does, I’m sure he’ll know where to find us.

Max: In Alabama?

Daniel: (under his breath) Hopefully not much longer.

Max: I heard a tour of California was coming up in 2008. Any truth to that?

Daniel: Beats me. I heard we’d lose our TNT contract by 2008. Then again it was from wrestlezone.

Max: You see, I told you to stop going to wrestling websites. Didn’t they once report Jason Bennett had a small penis too?

Daniel: Doesn’t he?

Max: …Yeah I guess he does, but that’s not the point! Tonight will be the last time we ever see The One in action, and I myself have got to admit, I’m looking forward to this main event as if it were for the championship.

Daniel: Also tonight, Scorch and Jamie Parker take on Royalty, and the ToC continues!

Max: Can we PLEASE be informed on who the Bullet Proof Idea is?

Daniel: I think we’re gonna find out tonight!

Max: One would hope…




Daniel: Opening the show tonight, we have two very contrasting wrestlers. One – Mike Foxx – has been with the company almost from day one, yet you could trip over him in the corridor and still not know who he is.
The other – The Outcast Kid – has only been with WPW for a month, yet is already making big waves following in the slipstream of the One.

Max: Yes. Big waves. The Outcast Kid is WPW’s very own tsunami bringing death and destruction to all in his pathway.

Daniel: A bit over the top there, Max.

Max: Just doing my job, Daniel. Color commentator. You call the plays and I bring some color into the viewers’ drab and uninteresting lives.

Daniel: And I’m sure they’re very grateful. Here’s Mina, looking as stunning as ever. I hear that she’s on the verge of signing a huge record contract.

Max: Latin tinged soft rock?

Daniel: No. Death Metal/TripHop crossover.

Max: Wow! That I gotta hear.

Mina: Tonight’s first match is a first round Tournament of Champions contest and is between, approaching the ring at a weight of 189lbs and hailing from North Richland Hills, Texas, he is ‘Main Event’ Miiiiike Foxxxxx!!!!!

Buckcherry’s ‘Crazy Bitch’ blasts out of the PA as Foxx emerges once again without his trademark limo, most of WPW’s venues being too small to allow even a scooter at the entrance area.
Foxx scowls as he surveys the crowd while walking to the ring.

Daniel: ‘Main Event’ opening tonight’s TNT. Sort of putting the cart before the horse, I guess.

Mina: His opponent, hailing from Daytona Beach, Florida and weighing in at 265lbs, the Outcast Kiiiiiiiiiddddd.

Daniel: The Kid taking an advantage of 76lbs into this match. Can Foxx overcome that?

The Outcast Kid emerges to the sound of ‘You Don’t Know’ by 50 Cent. The lights fade and sparks fall. TOK struts to the ring, high fiving some of the closer fans. The noise leaves no doubt as to who the crowd favor in this match.

Max: Daniel, did you know that, because of the appalling exchange rate, 50 cent releases his records in the UK under the name of 25p?

Daniel: No, I did not know that, but that’s because I’m a wrestling commentator.

Referee for the match, Todd Franklin calls the men together and gives them some last minute instructions. He sends them briefly to their corners and calls for the bell.

Ding Ding

Foxx flies at the Outkast Kid straight off with a Running High Knee and converts it with a Face Buster onto the same knee. He stomps on the Kid’s unprotected head twice then clears his nose on him before raising both arms in a victory salute. The crowd boo like a cow with a stuffy nose. Foxx runs through an impressive range of abusive hand gestures.

Daniel: Oh, that’s terrible. He pats his two year old’s head with that hand.

Max: He whacks off with the other one………….I’m told……..and I believe he’s contesting paternity on the two year old.

Daniel: Nice guy.

Max: One of the best.

Foxx returns to pick up the Kid and land a trademark triple Belly to Back Suplex combination. The Kid is dazed and seemingly in no state to continue which allows Foxx time to get to the top rope and land a Flying Cross Body Splash. He covers.

1………………….

2…………………

Foxx releases and picks up the Kid by the scruff of the neck, wagging his finger at Todd Franklin. He mouths ‘No, I’m not finished yet. He doesn’t get off that easily.’

Daniel: Foxx is one arrogant sonofabitch but if he was any good he would have been fighting for titles long before now.

Max: His time has come. He’s a natural fit with Royalty. I hear that they’re looking for a new chief of police or something. Mike Foxx – Gestapo Overlord – yeah, that fits. Foxx should send in a CV right now.

Foxx head locks the Outkast Kid and pulls him to his feet then thrusts him down with a facebuster between his outstretched legs.

Daniel: Oh my God. You know what we’ve just seen, don’t you?

Max: You’re the play by play man. You call it. I have my standards.

Daniel: That, ladies and gentlemen, was an X-Factor. I’ve just had a queasy feeling in the pit of my stomach. There’s still one set of question marks left in the tournament of champions. You don’t think…………….?

A deathly chill settles over the arena and the crowd go quiet which causes Foxx to take his eye off the Outkast Kid for a few seconds. The Kid uses the break to thrust a boot into the face of the seated Foxx and the back of his head bounces off the mat. He clasps his head and runs to the corner trying to shake off the pain. The Kid stretches his neck and arms to try to force his body into recovery. Foxx soon runs at the Outkast Kid with a Clothesline from Hell but the Kid ducks this and Drop Toe Holds Foxx as he rebounds.

Daniel: That’s more like it from the Outkast Kid. And he’s not finished yet. Powerbomb followed by a series of punches to Mike Foxx.

The Kid with the upper hand gestures to the crowd to make some noise and, as they respond, goes to the top turnbuckle for a Moonsault.
Foxx just escapes the impact at the last moment though and tries to apply a Sharpshooter. The Outkast Kid still has enough energy to pull himself to the ropes though and Todd Franklin calls for the break.
Foxx releases after threat of disqualification and backs away as TOK gets to his feet. They make as if to go to lock up, but Foxx gets in a kick to the thigh before they contact.
TOK bends and is back in a headlock before he can count his feet. Foxx places his head face down between his thighs and tries to double underhook the Kid in preparation for a Money Clip (Pedigree) but the Kid wriggles to escape just in time. He hits Foxx with a standing Drop Kick, striking clean on the chin.

Daniel: Foxx should have had this won 5 minutes ago but he spurned his chance then. It looks like he might be regretting it now.

The Kid tries an Irish Whip as Foxx gets back up and stops him with a choke hold as he rebounds.

Daniel: That’s a neat hairstyle The Outkast Kid has there. What do you think he calls that?

Max: Dave.

Daniel: He calls his hairstyle Dave?

Max: Sorry, I thought you said hairstylist.

Daniel: His hairstylist is the same girl that does everyone here at WPW.

Max: Yeah, that’s right. Dave…………..maybe Susan, I dunno.

Foxx twists to escape the choke hold but is held firm until he manages to grab the top rope and Todd Franklin is forced to call for the break. The Outkast Kid releases but is hit immediately by a back elbow then is Scoop Slammed to the mat. Foxx follows up with a drop elbow which lands awkwardly and seems to have broken the Kid’s nose. Blood starts to drip and stain the mat. Foxx laughs and interacts with the crowd again, pointing at himself and saying ‘I did that. Me.’

Daniel: The Outkast Kid won’t look so pretty in the morning. He’s a trained auto mechanic, you know – He put his business on hold so he could come work for WPW.

Max: Bad mistake. He looks as though the carjack broke while he was doing an axle repair. The Kid will be back to pumping gas next week if that’s all he can do in a wrestling ring.

Foxx doesn’t delay for too long as he spots TOK using the ropes to get back to his feet. He hits a swift Career Killer (RKO) and covers….

1………………..

2………………..

3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel: That’s the end of that one.

Ding Ding

Mina: The winner of this contest and progressing to the second round of the Tournament of Champions……….Main Event Mike Foxxxxxxxx!!!!!!!!

Foxx sneers at the taunts thrown by the crowd and poses cockily while a sorry looking Outkast Kid leaves the ring.

Max: Hey, Kid……here’s a quarter. Go polish my Mustang out front. Heh, heh.

Daniel: Max, you got here by moped. The court injunction expressly forbids you to be in charge of any engine larger than a grass cutter.

Max: Yeah, but he doesn’t know that.

Daniel: You’re a sad act, Max. A sad act. Let’s move on…….

Backstage Jokester is warming up when Tank suddenly rushes into the dressing room. Tank isn’t clothed for the match, and runs to his locker quickly to change.

Daniel: This match is… Next?

Max: I think so…

Daniel: Did Tank only just arrive?

Jokester is looking over at Tank when suddenly Tank catches his glance and looks back. Jokester simply shakes his presidential head and walks out of the locker room as TNT goes to commercial.



TNT returns from commercial where Brock Goodman is walking through the backstage area. From around the corner walks a sweaty Outkast Kid, and upon seeing Goodman he cracks a smile.

TOK: Well well well, Even with a loss, I know how it feels to be you. But still I take comfort in the fact that I'll never know how it feels to be as low.

Brock looks up to TOK, and suddenly he pushes him hard against the wall.

Brock: You want to fuck with me?! You want to push me?

Brock, while having his hand wrapped around TOK’s throat, sends a fist directly into his nose.

Brock: You just have to keep pushing!! You brought this on yourself!

Brock sends another fist into TOK’s nose as blood starts to spurt out, and suddenly referees and officials come out to restrain Brock Goodman. Jesse Long runs forward and pulls Brock back as well as TOK slumps to the floor, still leaning against the wall.

Daniel: Good God!

Max: Arrest him!

Officials continue to pour into the backstage area to break the fight off as the cameras return to ringside.






Daniel: Well after that series of events backstage which we will keep you updated on, we are back again and welcoming you to our next match which is certain to sizzle the screens.

Max: Womens match?

Daniel: Hardcore match!

Max: How is that going to ‘sizzle our screens’?

Daniel: I don’t know..

Max: Then Why say it?

Daniel: Because I’m trying to make this match sound interesting! Add some spark to an already big fire that is our next match?

Max: and our match is a hardcore match?

Daniel: Yes, for the Hardcore Title!

Max: Wasn’t that meant to be defended every day or something?

Daniel: For a while, yes... However it was stopped for some unknown reason and now we return and finally get around to defending it once more!

“Stronger” by Kanye West begins to hit the speakers as the crowd shuffles over to await this match. Before long the entire arena darkens for a second before coming back up and walking out comes the giant Tank...

Mina: The Following Match is for the Hardcore Championship, coming to the ring first, from The Bronx and weighing in at 285 pounds... He is the challenger for the WPW Hardcore Title.... Tank!!!

Daniel: Coming to the ring for the second time to try and capture the Hardcore title is tank, being one of the many stars that challenged 2 before ReActivation... Can he be successful this time around? Only time will tell!

Max: I can tell! No!

Daniel: Don’t be so sure, Tank was a tag team wrestler back then when he fought 2! Now he’s a singles wrestler

Max: A Singles wrestler who might as well be still with his tag partner!

Tank has trudged down to the ring and climbs up and over the stairs. He gets into the middle of the ring and raises his fist into the air, looking over at the fans...

Daniel: That’s the brilliance of this match though, Max. And what makes it the biggest threat to 2 for his title since The One!

Max: What? How?

Before an answer is given, “The Star Spangled Banner” by Jimi Hendrix starts to play. Almost on cue, a series of people holding babies appear on the left side. The Jokester appears brandishing a new cocky wave that he indulges the fans with. He soon begins to move down the ring but stops at the left side, the row with several babies.

Mina: And his opponent, also Challenging for the Hardcore Title... From Chuckletown, New Mexico.. He is John Oliver Kenneth Edwards Ster... The JOKESTER!!

Jokester waves again as if he were boarding air force one before moving down to the row on the left. He stars simultaneously performing the typical political jobs. We hear Jokester talking to himself in a mantrasaying the words “Shake Hand, Kiss Baby, Shake Hand, Shake Hand” to every correct action. He then moves on “Shake Hand, Shake Hand, Kiss Baby... Kiss Hand.. Shake Baby” But the child is plucked right from the Jokester’s Hands before his confusion allows him to hurt the child.

Daniel: Whoever said that the political road didn’t have its potholes is certainly not aware of the mental state of a 250 pound prank pulling wrestler.

Max: Politician who wrestles for a living, Daniel. It’s what he says. You know, some are senators, some are governors, some are guys who make weather documentaries... They all have jobs!

The Jokester leaves the parade on his left and moves towards the ring, regally stepping up the ropes and into the Ring. Tank ahs moved to a corner, leaving space for a bit of a parade and a few caboose carriage victory signs.

The Music for the Hardcore champion hits the arena and out comes the smallest man in this match, slowly walking through the entrance and carrying the Hardcore title over his shoulder. “Walking Through Barbed Wire” by Papa Roach continues to play as 2 meanders down to the ring, still with his head down to the ground and wearing a suit jacket over his usual wrestling shorts, giving a bit of an odd look off, especially with no shirt underneath.

Mina: and finally, from Saint Paul, Minnesota... Weighing in at 190 pounds, he is the Hardcore Champion of WPW.... TWOOOO!

Max: WOOO! It’s TWOO!

2 continues his move to the ring, slowly and surely, his hands inside his jacket pocket. He enters the ring by sliding between the ropes, taking his hands out of his pockets but only for a second. The referee has to peel the title off his shoulders as 2 seems certain not to take his hands from it. As soon as the referee does, he holds it up to the crowd and the bell chimes.

*Ding, Ding*

Daniel: And we are underway, the first hardcore title defence in months is about to start!

2 turns around and sees the Jokester and Tank, all three make a triangle but it looks as if the gap between 2 and his enemies is getting smaller. Both the Jokester and Tank look like they have an agreement as to what their battle plans will be, and they both start off unwell for 2! Joekster and tank move in.. but 2 pulls out his hands from his jacket pocket and reveals...

Daniel: Lead Pipe!

2 swings it and it connects with the closer man, Tank. Tank falls down hard and the Jokester seizes his chance, he hits a punch to 2’s face and then a kick to his midsection,. Jokester pulls 2’s coat over his head and begins to lay in knee after knee into him. Jokester lands another one but suddenly jumps back in pain, holding the toes on his right foot. 2 has hit them with his lead pipe. He pulls off his jacket in a fury and throws it to the outside, just in front of several fans who reach out to grab it as a souvenir.

Daniel: I believe you said that there was no advantage to be had when you are teaming with a partner you left on good terms with.

Max: And I’m still right, 2 has just handed both their asses to them!

Daniel: Time’s gonna tell if that was just a lucky shot with a dangerous weapon or actually a sign of things to come.

Max: Are you gonna gripe on about how unfair the use of weapons are again?

2 hoists up Tank and places him on his Feet. Tank powers out and pushes the 100 pound lighter man far away from him. 2 lands on his backside on the other side of the ring as Tank charges over. He holds out a huge clothesline for 2 but 2 ducks and immediately swings the pipe into his jaw... But it misses, 2 stumbles slightly with his follow-through, but Tank was simply taller than he expected. Tank laughs at this, and clubs 2 on the back, bowling him over. Tank then pulls the pipe from his hands and throws it to the ground. Tank then lifts 2 up and scoops him in his arms before hitting a slam right onto the lead pipe, which is right under 2’s back!

Max: Ohh, that’s got to hurt, getting a near 300 pound man throwing you around is bad enough.. but the lead pipe. Deadly

Tank places his hand across 2’s chest, looking for an easy pin.

1.........

Kickout by 2. Tank lets go and begins to breathe, holding his jaw from the first pipe hit.

Daniel: Not surprising, 2 has taken much much worse in a beating and is still hardcore champion. A lead pipe is not going to be his ending.

Max: I still think that a 6’8”, angry, tough black man might though!

Tank lifts up 2, but 2 was ready, taking the time that Tank used to rest to gain an advantage. As soon as tank lifts, 2 swings with the pie again, having taken it from under him when he landed on it. But tank stood straight up, meaning that once again, 2 missed. Tank looks down at the shorter superstar and laughs, enjoying the level of invulnerability he has from 2’s attacks. But ti doesn't last long as 2 immediately slams it right into Tank’s stomach, bending him over. 2 then lifts it up over his head and cracks it onto the back of Tank’s skull.

Daniel: If Mohammed Cannot come to the mountain, then the mountain will come to Mohammed! Brilliant work by 2!

Max: Pinfall, pinfall. Look!

2 has rolled Tank over and lifted the big man’s leg, pulling back and trying to use his weight against him!

1....................

2...

No! Jokester has re-entered the fray and brings with him a kendo stick. He slaps it across 2’s back and the hardcore champion falls off of Tank. Jokester rolls out Tank and the star falls to the floor outside the ring. Jokester sees the welt on 2’s back from the lead pipe he was dropped on . Jokester slaps the kendo stick right on that are, causing 2’s body to bend like a leaf, curling the wrong way. Jokester then places the stick right into 2’s midsection. 2 Bends over and Jokester guides his head between his legs and into the Pedigree position. Jokester then slips the kendo stick under 2’s midsection and grabs the other end, like a kebab. Jokester then lifts and hoists 2 up into the powerbomb position.

Daniel: Oh No!

Max: The Whoopee Cushion!! Or has he renamed THAT as well?

Daniel: Can’t touch an icon like the Whoopee Cushion. But will we even see it? Going for a finisher in the early part of a match tends to not often work as well as they hoped.

The Jokester has the light superstar up on his shoulders. But 2 has become highly aware of his situation and is battling out of it. Eventually after a struggle, he grabs the kendo stick and uses it, being it down on top of the Jokester’s shaved skull. The Joekster Trembles under the force and collapses. But that is not good news for 2 as he partially or considerably connects with his finisher, the Whoopee Cushion!

Daniel: He hit it!

Max: Well he kinda did, he got knocked over and happened to fall quite well for a whoopee Cushion.

Daniel: We are about to find out how successful it actually is! Jokester is going for a pinfall!

Jokester slumps forwards, more or less pinning 2!

1.......................


2........................


No!!! Tank breaks up to count, he slams a stop sign right over The Jokesters back, causing him to let go of 2 and fall back!

Daniel: That, I think, is the first time that Tank and The Jokester have come to blows!

Tank looks angry at this, as if there had been some sort of pent up anger over his old master and teacher. Jokester rolls from the ring. Tank slams the sign over 2’s chest, causing him to curl up in the fetal position. He moves 2 with ease over to the corner of the rope, and places him in a sitting position. Tank lines up to collect 2’s head.. But he’s interrupted, He turns around to see The Jokester! Jokester holds a garbage can he collected from under the ring in his hands. He looks at tank and readies a blow!

Daniel: This is it! After near six months of teaming up, of being a group, Tokester officially ends now! They both looks ready to kill and I doubt they’re going to go easy on one another.

Max: Every little annoying grievance is fuel to the fire, isn’t it Daniel? Every slight annoyance when they were together is boiling up!

Daniel: you sound a little too familiar with that kinda emotion... You want to tell me, you broadcast partner, anything?

Max: No, I’m Fine... But remember last year when I pretended to turn to PCW and punched you in the face? THAT relived a lot of stress!

The Jokester charges in at Tank and Tank readies his own attack, as soon as one is in range, the other swings out a vicious attack with their weapon. But as these deadly projectile in muscular arms connect, the do so at precisely the same time! The garbage can hits Tank and the Sign connects with Jokester as they both fall to the ground in a crumpled heap in the centre of the ring. 2 remains draped in the corner where Tank left him!

Max: Well, that series of events were... symbolic.

Daniel: I don’t think either of them are going to be getting back up anytime soon! Tokester has just laid one another out in the ring! And 2 is still reeling from the attack by Tank earlier.

Max: No wait, he’s starting to get up!

2 is indeed starting to get up, he trips over his own feet slightly and stumbles to his knees. He looks over tho see the two fallen adversaries and makes a beeline straight for them. But he does not stop at them to grab a pinfall and the end of this match. He leaves the ring and looks under the ring, pulling out a table!

Max: I’ve always said that 2 is nuts, but now he’s just stupid. He could just pin one of those two and go relax in the locker room and allow a certain commentator to go buy nachos!

Daniel: Projecting again, are we? Like about how you mentioned that you punched me...

Max: You have nothing to fear, Daniel my friend...

Daniel: Well that is nice!

Max: Until next Christmas, that is...

2 has set the table up.. Clapping the legs down and into place. He then moves the table across and places it so that it faces along side one side of the WPW ring. He scoots back in and looks down at the two fallen stars. Sizing whichever one up. 2 eventually decides on The Jokester, the veteran. He places the Jokester’s head inside the trashcan that sits next tom him, having to be quite forceful as it had crumpled with the impact. He then lifts up tank’s sign and brings it down to bear right across the trashcan. The sharp bang reverberates through the arena. Jokester leaps up, the Trashcan still on his head as he tries to reach his ears, obviously in severe pain after the shot.

Max: What do you reckon that hurt more, Daniel? Jokester’s head or Jokester’s Ears?

Daniel: I don’t know, could be a good double whammy! But you couldn’t expect less from 2, who is probably the most experienced hardcore fighter on WPW’s roster.

2 wastes no time and kicks Jokester in the gut, He then pulls of the trashcan from his head and slams it down again onto it. Jokester does not fall down but stumbles back as 2 tries again and forces Jokester back into a corner. By this time the trashcan is a crumpled piece of gleaming metal and 2 casts it aside. S runs up to Jokester and climbs the turnbuckle and slams his knee into Jokesters face. 2 then lets go jumps back and charges again. But Jokester catches him in his tracks! 2 thinks fast and reverses this predicament into a Monkey flip! 2 is ready and lands several kicks to Jokester to keep him down. He then looks over at the table he had set up and smiles.

Daniel: Now this is probably going to spell bad news for Jokester!

2 grabs Jokester and charges across the ring, his hand behind the former PCW champions head. He moves the throw Jokester over, but Jokester somehow stops himself from flying out of the ring. He hit the ropes and grabs 2 himself.. right up the nostrils. Jokester then does the exact same thing to 2! Throwing him out and over the ropes but by his nostrils!

Daniel: Rejected by the Electorate! The old Rejections Slip move!

Max: Holy Crap! And the table didn’t break!

Max is right. The table, as much as 2 landed on it hard, did not actually break! 2 bounced on it hard. The jokester looks on comedically, peering over the ropes at this sight. He shakes his head and mutters about wanting to do something right, having to do it himself. He trudges up to the nearest ring post and begrudgingly begins to climb.

Max: Jokester going up top, not common for this man.

He gets to the top and stand there rather uneasily, slipping and losing balance, but still upright. He then pretends to kiss his necklace, even though he hasn’t got one, as if it’s a tradition for those who jump off the ropes. He warms up his elbow by shaking it a bit and.... Tank comes out of nowhere, shakes the ropes and causes Jokester to fall, a leg either side fo the turnbuckle!

Max: Ohhh! Bad new for the Jokester’s own ballot box!

Daniel: You’d been waiting all match for that, hadn’t you?

Max: No, honestly, it just came to me!

Tank aims a punch at his old masters face and then leaves him hanging for a second to survey the scene. Jokester takes this chance and throws a chop at Tank. Tank stammers back, but comes in and uppercuts the Jokester. Jokester looks as if he is losing his balance and about to fall right off his perch! He is slipping backwards.. But tank grabs him, saving him from falling to the floor!

Daniel: What the hell?

Max: Tank Just Saved Jokester from falling twelve feet to the floor!

Daniel: Is there something going on? I mean.. They just absolutely destroyed one another not ten minutes ago! Is Tokester as a concept still alive?

Tanks answers that question for us as he grabs the Jokester and lifts him up.. not to put him safely on the ground, but up in a Military Press! Tank moves across the ring and right to the table where 2 still lies. Tank then braces his knees and throws Jokester out! Jokester collides with 2 and the table snaps in 2, the middle of it literally exploding with the bodies of two superstars and shards of wood!

Max: Holy Shit!

Crowd: Holy Shit!

Daniel: That was deadly! My god! Tank may have just destroyed those two men!

Max: and poor 2! Having a huge fat politician come crashing down on his chest!

Daniel: Fat?

Tank moves to the outside and looks down at the smashed and destroyed table. He also looks down at the smashed and destroyed 2 and Jokester as well. Eventually he pulls The Jokester from the wreckage. He lifts him up and pushes him back in the ring. Tank follows, climbing up and over the ropes before dropping down a foot on Jokester. He holds his arms up in anticipation of the pinfall going his way!

Daniel: 2’s reign is about to end! And He’s not even going to get pinned!

Max: 2’s reign ended as soon as he landed on that table, all hail King Tank!

1.................


2......................


THREE!!! No!

Jokester gets a shoulder up, pushing Tank’s foot off his Chest!

Daniel: Holy Crap!

Max: Through a table and still kicked out!

Tank looks angry at this and drops to the ground, hooking the leg for a better pinfall chance..

1................


2...............


THRE... No again!!!

Tank looks angry and this and drops a leg across Jokester’s chest, keeping him down. He begrudgingly moves out of the ring to grab 2, who is still inside the rubble of the table. Tank gabs 2 and lifts him up easily by the back of the neck. He Headbutts 2 and the star flies backwards. But out of nowhere Jokester comes and hits a baseball slide on Tank, knocking him right in the head. Jokester’s slide carries him out of the ring and onto his backside on the outside.

Daniel: Jokester’s getting his own back, even after being put through a table!

Max: I guess, if you look at it with Physics, it makes sense that Jokester is still giving a bit of a battle, despite ebbing thrown through a table two minutes ago. If someone jumps onto someone else through a table, then they’re usually okay. Jokester didn’t jump but was thrown.. But still, the same physics should apply.

Daniel: Wrestling Physics?

Max: I guess so, we should make a book about it. Like how a dropkick that misses will hurt the dropkicker..

Daniel: A physics anomaly, The Black hole of the Wrestling world.. Very Clever, Max!

Jokester lies down but is soon up, as soon as he does, he sees something that distracts his attention! A Woman we can’t see is holding a baby wrapped in a blanket. As soon as Jokester sees this, the political part of his brain goes into overdrive, seeing one more possible voter. He moves to it and kisses the baby, pausing and chatting about foreign policy.

Max: Another baby. God’ he’s pathetic, Hardcore Title to be won and he’s not anywhere near focused enough!

Tank however has come up behind him. He looks ready to pounce on Jokester, apparently not caring about the child nearby him. Tank charges in and looks ready to Speak Jokester to hell. But Jokester sidesteps and hists him with... The baby?

Max: The Fuck? He just used a baby as a weapon!

Daniel: That is.. disgusting!

Max: And what is worse is that Tank seems knocked out from it! That’s one fat baby!

Jokester still holds the baby, and unwraps it to check on it... Revealign it to be a dummy, a toy!

Daniel: It’s a fake!

Max: And look, the Jokester is revealing that there was a leadweight inside it!

Jokester tells the audience to shh, with his finger to his lips. Jokester encloses it back inside the abby and throws it, 2 and Tank all back inside the ring, obviously looking to end this match now.

Daniel: This could be it. That leadweight absolutely destroyed Tank and now Jokester has it in his possession, there’s no stopping it!

Max: I thought that woman in the crowd looked like Connie!

The Jokester lifts up 2 and throws him to the corner. He then charges at him with the baby in ahnd but 2 ducks and Joekster hits the turnbuckle with his chest. This bounces him back and 2 reacts with an amazing kick that sends The baby flying from his hands and Joekster soars from the rign and onto the mat below!

Daniel: 2 is back! He’s just gotten rid of Jokester’s advantage and sent him from the Ring.

2 wastes no time and neither does Tank, who has made it to his own feet. 2 charges at the slower, heavier man who throws a clothesline. But 2 ducks and gets behind Tank. He then latches onto the stooping taller man and, with a lot of effort on his behalf.. hits a 2Die4!... Right onto Jokester’s toy baby!!

Tanks head bounces off and he land backup completely stunned! 2 goes for a pinfall...

*Ding, Ding*

2 lets go of tank and clambers to his feet. Holding his hands up in the air.

Mina: Here is your winner... AND STILL... WPW Hardcore Champion. 2!!!!!

Daniel: Well that was a hell of a hardcore battle. Babies being used as well.

Max: 2 escapes by the skin of his teeth, he should kiss that baby too, it just got him his title back from the brink of losing it to any member of Tokester.

Daniel: And what about those two, they came to blows for the first time so what will this do for them? Might they fight again? So many questions to answer!


The cameras go backstage where Royal Knight is walking backstage. He gets to Royalty’s locker room and enters to see Judge sitting in the room watching a tape. The Judge looks up to Royal Knight as he enters.

Judge: Hey.

RK: What you doin?

Judge: Just watching The One’s last promo. Didn’t get a chance to catch it until just now.

RK: …Ah. Anyway, I wanted to go over the gameplan for the main event tonight.

Judge: No worries man, I’ve been working it out all week in my head, I’m ready.

RK: Nah, I meant the plan for when we come down. I was thinking maybe I could show up first, and then James could-

The Judge cuts RK off.

Judge: Wait, no.

RK: What?

Judge: It’s cool man. I don’t need any help, I’m gonna beat him on my own.

RK: …Really?

The Judge looks to Royal Knight suddenly with a grimace on his face.

Judge: You saying you don’t think I can?

RK: No… I didn’t say that.

Judge: Really, I’ll be fine, make sure you tell James I don’t need any help tonight, ok?

RK: I guess…

Judge: Thanks.

Royal Knight nods to Judge as he goes back to watching the tape, but when he turns around he has a confused look on his face as he moves to leave the locker room as TNT goes to commercial.



Scorch and Jamie Parker are both seen walking backstage.

Daniel: Oh boy, half way through the show and already a match that would main event a normal TNT!

Max: You got that right! It’s the Resistance vs. Royalty!

Daniel: And it’s next!





Daniel: Wow, Max, this just goes to show how competitive our shows are becoming.. We've got the current, and a former WPW champion in this match... and it's not even the semi-main event! Not to mention, a big feud over this, the whole works..

Max: Feud? What, these guys? No way, they're like.. best friends. I mean, remember last week? Royal Knight, Scorch and Parker made sure they wouldn't even have a match at all.. must just not care, right?

Daniel: Actually, I heard a rumour going around backstage that every time any of them were being approached for their backstage promo rights. They were actually too mad to let us know what they wanted to do to one another, you know?

Max: But.. Jason Bennett was in that match too?

Daniel: Not even I'm going to walk into that one, Max.

The Lights around the arena fade to near darkness, before the colour purple flashes up, illuminating the arena. The Slow steady beats of the song “Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of The War Drum” by A Perfect Circle plays, each thudded drum corresponding to a flash of purple lighting. Eventually the lights stay on for a longer with each beat, white also entering the mix. As we see more through the darkness, eventually The Royalty becomes abundantly clear at the entrance. The Judge doesn't appear to have joined them, JMC smirking and Royal Knight kissing his necklace as they together make their way down the ramp, seeming very confident as they shirk the crowd, not seeming to care about posing so much as talking over their game plan with one another.

Presently in the ring at this time, at a combined weight of 410 pounds, they are two members of WPW's Royalty, The Royal Knight and James Moriarty Cassius!

Max: They sure do look focused tonight.. I mean, this is a big match, even for them. Any chance you get at Scorch, you're pretty much going to take, right?

Daniel: You're exactly right there, Max. How do you figure this'll weigh on the Royalty's mind as far as the TOC, exactly?

Max: I've got no idea. I read your notes. I just figured I'd like to be the one to say something smart for a change.

Daniel: Right. Let's.. uh.. er. I was going to say they'd probably be revitalised if they could take this one down.. Let's face it, any win against Scorch should make the Board look at you that little bit more carefully, right?

Mina: And their opponents, at 470 pounds...

As Max and Daniel banter over the permutations of beating Scorch, "The Prisoner" by Iron Maiden kicks in from the beginning. As the intro to the song ends and the music kicks in, Jamie Parker comes out from behind the curtains, without his usual soccer kit, just in his wrestling gear, carring a ball all the same. He begins to walk down the ramp, the ball having the words "LOOK OUT!" painted in bright red lettering as he rushes the ring. However, instead of storming it, he stands by the ropes, pointing out behind the pair of them. In a typical Scooby Doo-like action, the pair begin to turn their heads, as though expecting Scorch to be standing right behind them. JMC, however, stops himself, shaking his head and staring back to Parker, his shoulder over the Knight's as he watches the Stallion receive a well-aimed soccer ball which cracks him straight in the side of the jaw, anger shooting against his face as Parker rushes in, attempting to take out Cassius. However, Cassius ducks, kicking Parker square in the balls - before Scorch is yet to enter the ring, as such, before the match is started. Immediately doubling over, Parker starts gripping at his shattered manhood, eyes bulging out as Cassius and Knight both grab him in the position for a uranage, tripping him up for a Royal Blood before the match has even begun! Cassius immediately goes for the pin, and even though Parker seems ready to try and kick out, the ref refuses to count, as "Blisters and Coffee" by The Classic Crime starts, Scorch running through the entry-way like a man on a mission, running through and diving into the ring, going straight through Knight's stretched legs and throwing a quick forearm straight at JMC's face as he moves to get up and face him, dazing the man slightly as Scorch turns to meet the Knight, a quick roundhouse kick from his left foot sending the bedazzled man through the ropes, stunned. Quickly turning to meet JMC, Parker nowhere to be found, Scorch comes running in for a clothesline, missing, the bell finally ringing just as JMC goes for a hip toss. However, Scorch floats over, his own hip toss attempt blocked, though he drops down quickly and throws JMC over in an arm drag with his other arm, JMC seeming a little annoyed as he quickly twists around to his feet, running in at him for what looks like a clothesline. However, as Scorch drops to the ground in an attempted drop toe hold which would take him into the ropes, JMC jumps into the air, and comes down on Scorch's back with a knee drop. So close to the ropes, Scorch instinctively rolls out, finding Parker, slowly recovering from the early beat-down, the pair of them getting to their feet as both JMC and Knight are suddenly running towards them, as though setting up for a stereo plancha to their prone opponents.. but instead, they stop at the last second, each of the Royalty members shrugging off the thought, posing for the audience.

Daniel: Expected them to take longer to start.. wow. I, er.. did you catch any of that?

Max: They were wrestling? I'm used to the Scorch entrance being deafening, so my pre-match ritual.. well, I put on a pair of earmuffs and eat a Snickers bar. Damn.

Daniel: Well, it looks like Royalty are really putting their thoughts into this.. Maybe they're looking to hold themselves back a bit? I mean, what with the TOC, everyone's fighting that little bit harder.. Maybe they're just looking to not put their bodies on the line, to keep everything on hold for their title aspirations?

Max: Or maybe they just want a clean match. Jesus, always reading into things.

Parker and Scorch take a moment to regroup, the referee acting as a completely neutral arbiter, not bothering to count either team out. Scorch and Parker seem to be arguing who should go into the ring first, Scorch pointing to his back with a frown, though when Parker does the same with his hands at his crotch, a smile overcomes Scorch's face as he gets up to the apron and opens the ropes for Parker's entrance, the ref seeming happy to have some semblance of order and as such not pointing out that the match was Scorch and Cassius, JMC staying in the ring as he begins to circle Parker, the pair of them locking up. Parker rolls around and grabs Cassius by the waist, attempting to lift him straight up for a German suplex, though Cassius instead rolls his legs up, his head tucked in as he rolls Parker through in for a quick pin, grabbing the tights for added leverage in an attempt to take it home early.

1..
2.. Ref spots the illegal maneuver!

As Cassius is berated by the ref, he rolls backward, ignoring him, attempting to throw a punch Parker's way, who ducks quickly, and before JMC even realises it, has him hooked up for an early Russian leg sweep. Not stopping for even a moment, like a shark smelling blood, he grabs Cassius in a front face lock, turning him in and around for a quick swinging neck breaker, not even bothering to go for the pin as he quickly goes through and ascends the ropes, signaling for a missile dropkick to the fans, a smile suddenly overcoming him as he sees Knight rush up to him, a stiff kick to the head sending the Stallion crashing down to the mat. Cassius attempts to make use of the distraction, rushing at Parker with an extremely high kick aimed at his leg.. but Parker spots that too, diving over and rolling through along his shoulders, then rushing at the prone Cassius with a low spear as he is half-turned, his leg still leaving him to hop on the second rope. Parker lifts him clear off of the ropes, a quick inverted atomic drop followed by a quick hurricanrana, going in for the pin with both legs caught in his own.

1..
2.. Knight makes the save!

Knight comes in with a low kick to the back of Parker's head, which doesn't seem to deter, though the second and third ones do, Scorch not helping out as the ref seems to have control. Parker makes it to his feet before a slightly dazed Cassius, and comes charging in with a big haymaker, which is dodged, and countered with a quick rake to the eyes. Cassius grabs Parker quickly as he is writhing, a quick knee to the gut before he drags him along the ropes, blinding Parker for another moment or two, much to the ref's chagrin as Knight makes the tag in, the pair of them punching the prone Parker back and forth between them, the momentum of each punch rolling the bigger man into an outstretched fist straight to the head, though he clearly attempts to fight them off, the pseudo-blindness becomes too much for him. Knight winks to Cassius, who nods before Knight sends Parker into the ropes, waiting for him to come back to him, still somewhat dazed as he is hoisted up in a big Stun Gun on the ropes, choking the man. Knight quickly rushes out to punch Scorch, instinctively making the bigger man attempt to rush out, the referee predictably having to stop him, too distracted to see Cassius begin to choke the living daylights out of Parker against the ropes. By the time the referee finally breaks the illegal choke, the damage is done, Parker clutching at his throat as Knight comes up from behind him with a quick DDT, rolling him over for the pinfall.

1..
2.. Parker kicks out, clutching at his throat!

Daniel: Well, this is more or less what we'd expect from Royalty.. Lots of underhanded tactics, and then going for something cheap and quick to end it. But you're not going to take Jamie Parker down with a DDT!

Max: What about a Judgement DDT?

Daniel: Why do you always have to be so negative?

Cassius and Knight continue with quickly tagging one another in and out, Cassius in this time, hoisting Parker up on the ropes and coming in with a big mounted jump to the neck, choking him some more. This sends Parker flying backwards, clutching at his neck still, Cassius leaning in behind him as he finally gets to his feet and effortlessly dropping him down for a reverse neckbreaker, for yet another quick count.

1..
2.. Scorch comes out of nowhere and makes the save, still screaming at his foes.

As the ref throws Scorch back into his corner, Cassius claps his hands loudly in the air, mounting Parker and clawing at his eyes, leading the battered Parker to fight out, throwing arms wildly out in pain, the ref immediately breaking the hold forcibly as the Knight comes down for a second rope leg drop, but instead of going for the pin, drags Parker into the middle of the ring and sets him up for a Dragon Sleeper. Clenching it in wildly, Parker seems to scream out in pain, arching his back out to keep as much pressure off of his carotid artery as he possibly can, still writhing, keeping everything flowing in his body as Scorch begins to clap his hands for his partner, attempting to get the crowd into it, each one of them clapping their hands in turn, begging Parker to beat his adversary up. He arches his back one final time.. then grabs tightly, in an act of desperation, throwing out a soccer-like kick, one leg stretching straight up and smacking Knight straight in the face! However, Knight's momentum drags him to the ropes, clutching at his face as Parker begins to drag himself blindly towards Scorch's corner, guided moreso by the stomping of the WPW Champion than anything as a tag is made.. by Knight, Cassius storming down to keep Parker from reaching his destination, grabbing his ankle and twisting harshly, pulling him back towards the ropes before sinking back to the targetted neck of Parker with a low knee, twisting his other leg around into a leg scissors. Out of nowhere, the Knight emerges behind Scorch, tripping him up on the apron, then sending his head into the steel ringpost, immediately posing for the crowd before he is running back to his own corner. Cassius looks around him, Parker still on the floor in the head scissors as he lets go of his own accord, grabbing his opponent by the head and leading him in for a side headlock, which is pushed down as he signals for the Soliloquy.

Daniel: Wow, it's time already? Seems Royalty thinks they have this one won.. Knight taking out Scorch cheap.. Scorch has barely been in this ring at all, has he?

Max: Scorch was in the ring? Oh, right, Snickers.

Daniel: I guess that's a no.

As Parker is turned around in position for the neckbreaker, he somehow manages to slip out, running into the ropes in front of him, just missing the Knight, who looks bewildered as Cassius, who turns, taking a massive running forearm to the jaw. However, Parker is still quite dazed, his eyes and throat having been given a thorough workover as he slowly makes it to his feet, Cassius managing to tag the Knight in as he makes it up to his own feet.. but he is too late, and Scorch is tagged in, much to the adulation of the crowd! Scorch, still angry as ever, delivers a quick, stiff clothesline to Cassius, who is running at him, following through with a quick kick to the stomach of the Knight as he attempts to get into the ring, doubling over into the corner. As Cassius stands and tries his luck a second time, Scorch comes flying in to smack Cassius down again with a clothesline. Knight, the sneaky devil that he is, rushes in for a low chop block, but Scorch has him scouted, jumping up only to have him hit a seated JMC, square in the temple with his outstretched forearm! Scorch looks at the Knight as JMC begins to roll out, clutching at his body, and RK quite visibly spurts out an obscenity, only to get kicked in the gut, then lifted up for a vertical suplex, with Scorch delaying it just for a couple of seconds, showing off his size advantage to the crowd's delight.

Daniel: Well, I don't think Parker's going to be of much help.. But Scorch is so fresh, it might not even matter! I mean, he's hardly even looking sweaty here.

Max: Well, yeah he is, just look at him, he's dripping with the stuff!

Daniel: Max, you're looking at a promotional poster.

Max: Oh, right. I get confused sometimes.

Scorch doesn't even bother going for the cover, signalling to the top as he quickly ascends the ropes and comes down with the Firebomb, the Knight attempting to roll out of the way, but only getting half way out, his stomach crushed by the incoming knee of Scorch, elbows falling down further than usual, clearly somewhat discomfortable, though not enough that he is worried, shrugging it off and going for the cover.

1..
2.. Kickout by Royal Knight!

JMC comes out in an attempt to save the Knight, but upon seeing him kick out, throws a kick out towards the WPW Champ, just barely missing his head as Scorch manages to duck, the Knight throwing one out from underneath Scorch and smacking him directly in the back, but not really able to capitalise as he gets to his feet, a surge of adrenaline pulling him there as he comes flying in for another forearm, but it is ducked, and turned into a massive running power slam! However, he doesn't even have the time to go for the cover, JMC kicking him firmly in the gut as Parker is finally back to his feet. JMC comes in for another punt to the downed Scorch, but is instead tripped, the prone Knight pulled into the corner, his head sitting against the corner as the illegal JMC begins to have a punch-off with Scorch, Scorch fresher but JMC seeming more determined to take the bigger man down, as though he has something to prove. As they continue this in the center of the ring, Parker comes from the neutral corner into the Royalty's tag corner with a massive "Own Goal" missile dropkick to the corner, directly to Knight's head! Under a surge of adrenaline, as JMC finally comes out for a massive haymaker, Parker is there to drop the ropes as Scorch crouches, Parker also leaving the ring for Scorch to lift the downed and seemingly out Knight up and into the center of the ring for the Ignitor, slamming him head first in the dead middle of the ring!

Mina: And your winners, the Resistance, Scorch and Jamie Parker!

Amy White is seen backstage in a pure titillation moment as she runs to catch up to The One who is walking out of his locker room.

Amy: One! One! Can I get a quick word?

The One stops and turns to Amy. Before she asks a question, he moves his face to the microphone though.

One: Not to be rude, but actually I’ve said all I wanted to say, and there’s nothing more that needs to be said. Thank you Amy.

The One turns and continues walking leaving the camera man to slowly fade out to commercial.



TNT returns from commercial break with a shot of Desmond Troy and David Nicolls backstage arguing.

David: I told you, it doesn’t matter why he didn’t include you, obviously it didn’t work out anyway.

Desmond: But it could if I just took his place.

David: It just wasn’t meant to be man, alright? Let’s just take those titles from Royalty at Hellowicked or whatever the hell it’s called, and think about how many crazy stipulations we want to tack on there.

Desmond nods and smiles a bit when Ethan Frost suddenly approaches them.

Ethan: David, I’ve been looking all over the place for you. The Outkast Kid is heading to the hospital, The One isn’t responding, and 2 just apparently doesn’t care about anything, so I need to know what’s the status of your group? Did you even have a name?

David: Ethan, just let it go. The only group you need worry about is myself and David.

Ethan: D&D?

David winces.

David: Whatever. It doesn’t matter what you call us, because by the end of the month there will be only be one name you’ll have to remember.

David nods to Desmond. Desmond looks confused for a moment, then David just rolls his eyes and moves his lips back to the microphone.

David: Champions.

David looks at Desmond, shakes his head, and walks away as Desmond shrugs and the cameras return to the ring.






Daniel: Well here we go folks it’s the final first round matchup of the Tournament of Champions, but we still only know one competitor in this match!

Max: Well, maybe you only know one competitor, I happen to have it on good authority on who Corral is facing here in a few minutes.

Daniel: Oh yeah Max? Then, who is it? Go ahead Mr. Investigative journalist…who is Corral facing?

Max: You’d love for me to tell you wouldn’t you?

Daniel: I think we all would.

Max: Well fine, the man Corral is facing tonight is none other than the former PCW Champion, Mike Adams!

Daniel: What? Adams is back?

Max: Yes indeed. A had a couple of my sources say that he and Jess were spotted finally back from their long honeymoon and Adams was at his shop for new ring gear in New York City.

Daniel: Wow, spoiling the big reveal right before the match, I’m very proud of you Max.

Max: You did beg for me to tell you.

Daniel: Well let’s get to the ring, I kinda feel bad for Corral though, he didn’t know who he was facing this week. It’s incredibly difficult to train for a match like that.

Mina: Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Final First Round Match in the Tournament of Champions and it is set for one fall! First coming down the aisle from San Diego, California, he is “The Triple X Superstar” Mike Corral!

RRRRRRREACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH!!

"Personal Jesus" by Marilyn Manson begins to fill the arena as Corral steps out onto the ramp as the smoke arises and floods the stage. Corral gives a quick glance over the whole crowd and then flashes a slight smirk as he heads down to aisle. A few kids reach out to slap Corral on the back and Corral gives a few of the kids high-fives. Corral then rolls into the ring and poses for the crowd.

Mina: And his opponent…..

Max: Ha ha! See I even scooped our ring announcer she, doesn’t even know who it is!

“Soon…” shows up on the screen, then the image starts to flicker before switching to “NOW!” and “With My Mind” starts echoing through the arena.

Daniel: It’s SiNN!

Max: What? It can’t be!

Daniel: This crowd is electric for the return for the SiNNovator!

But almost as soon as the fans start to cheer really loudly does the cheers die down as SiNN rolls out to the stage in a wheelchair.

Max: See I knew it couldn’t be SiNN! It has to be Adams now!

SiNN is holding a microphone and asks for silence before speaking.

SiNN: What before was Soon….is NOW!

“Khasmir” by Led Zeppelin blasts through the arena as Jesse Long walks out and stand behind the wheelchair SiNN is in. The video screen reads “Soon….sOon….SiNN….MASTERFUL!”

Daniel: No way!

Max: What?

“Masterful” Michael Karver steps out onto the stage in his long flowing robe as the roof blows off the arena. As Karver steps out onto the stage he is dressed ornately in a long robe and stands at the top of the stage basking in the glow of the spotlights as “Khasmir” continues to play.

Daniel: So much for your inside sources eh Maxie boy?

Max: Damn it! I could have sworn it was Adams who’d be coming out here! Instead we get this clown, who is he anyway?

Daniel: Well let’s just say you were half right. This man is also a former PCW Champion and is also named Mike. But this is none other than “The Masterful One” Michael Karver, the master of the GFE.

Max: GFE?

Daniel: You’ll see. Corral looks a little stunned o see Karver out here, especially with SiNN and our new God of Live, Jesse “Real” Long in tow.

Max: Isn’t it “The Real”?

Daniel: That’s not what he’ll tell you.

Karver then slowly walks down the aisle taking it all in slowly while Corral is beginning to look a little impatient in the ring.

Max: You know for all the amount you are slurping this guy, he sure is taking his sweet time getting into the ring.

Daniel: The man hasn’t competed actively in almost a whole year, I think he’s allowed to enjoy the spotlight for a few minutes. Trust me when the bell sounds Karver can go in that ring.

Jesse rolls SiNN in the chair off to the neutral corner as SiNN leans up and whispers something into Jesse’s ear. Jesse laughs a little bit as they both point at Karver standing at the foot of the apron right now.

Max: And what’s the deal with SiNN and Jesse coming out here anyway? Is Karver afraid of a one-on-one fight or something?

Daniel: Well, as you know Karver has been the one training Jesse to get back into ring shape, and Jesse and SiNN have always been close friends but they have recently developed a bond together.

Max: So they all enjoy a friendly game of grab-ass every now and then?

Daniel: Essentially, yeah.

Karver then looks up and the ceiling of the building and turns around to see “Masterful” on the giant video screen, when all of a sudden Corral can’t take it any longer and bounces off the ropes and leaps towards Karver over the top with a corkscrew flipping plancha to the back of Karver.

Max: Finally, someone is as tired of this as I am.

Corral gets back to his feet and tears the robe off of Karver and start stomping him in the back. Corral then quickly drops to the floor and delivers a sudden dropkick to the side of the face of Karver.

Max: Welcome to WPW, Karver! We don’t showboat here!

Daniel: Well, Corral did attack him from behind, Max.

Max: What did you expect him to do, let Karver get a 25 minute entrance and expect Corral to stand there and let Karver try and psyche him out. Corral is a determined young man and he wants this title just as bad as everyone else does.

Corral then perches himself up on the top stair heading into the ring and measures Karver. As Karver is slowly getting up to his feet, Corral leaps off the stairs and delivers a double foot stomp mule kick right to the small of the back of the Masterful one.

Daniel: Ouch! That has got to hurt. I guess Corral knows a bit more about Karver than we though, Karver has had back problems in the past.

Max: Well it doesn’t hurt that our illustrious owner last week thought that the Board of Directors choice was Michael Karver.

Corral then rolls into the ring as the ref starts the count. Karver is slowly getting to his feet with assistance from the guardrail with several little kids cheering him on.

Daniel: I don’t think Karver expected this explosive flurry from Corral this early on.

Max: Well remember, although he’s been training, Karver still has to have some ring rust to work out.

Karver gets to his feet and eyes Corral in the ring. Corral has a smirk on his face and is dancing back and forth a bit in the ring, mouthing “I’m not scared of you” to the former PCW Champion.

Max: You do have to give it up for Corral though, he is showing Karver exactly what the level of competition is like here in WPW.

Daniel: And I’m sure Karver will be up to the challenge.

Karver walks back toward the ring as Corral charges him again. Corral goes for a feigning 619 type of move but Karver, quick as a cat reaches out and grabs one of the feet of Corral. Karver quickly hops onto the apron and contorts Corral’s ankle into a keylock of sorts as Corral is caught in between the first and second ropes unexpectedly screaming in pain.

Max: What the hell is that?

Daniel: Just one of the many holds that Karver knows, he’s not only a seasoned catch as catch can wrestler, but he has also done a lot of training in the world of mixed martial arts, that’s why he’s so dangerous. And I think Corral just figured out that Karver can go too.

The ref is counting as Karver has the keylock applied and he releases at the count of four as Corral rolls back into the center of the ring. Karver steps through the ropes and immediately tries to pick the leg of Corral again but Mike kicks him away and rolls to the outside.

Max: Good move there by Corral don’t let Karver get too much of an edge.

Daniel: Well Karver knows how to handle a high-flying opponent like Corral, if you take out one of his wheels you limit 80 to 90 percent of his offense.

Corral is walking around ringside looking at Karver in the ring. Corral stands in the aisleway as Karver is now the one smirking and goes to the ropes and holds them open for Mike offering him to get back inside. Corral then walks back towards the ring and purposefully steps into the ring on the other side of where Karver is. Corral and Karver now lock up for the first time, and Karver gets Corral in a headlock. Corral shoots Karver into the ropes, and Corral ducks Karver on the return trip and goes for a revrse monkey flip, but Karver grabs both legs of Corral and quickly throws on a Boston crab. Corral is thrashing a little bit as he scrambles for the ropes and Karver lets go of the hold.

Daniel: As I’m sure you’ve guessed by now, Karver is very well-versed in submission based wrestling.

Max: I think Corral is starting to realize that as well.

Corral gets back up slowly and is trying to shake the kinks out of his legs a bit as Karver is in the center of the ring just waiting for Corral. Corral lets go of the ropes and Karver goes for another single leg takedown, but as Corral gets his leg picked he hooks the top rope with his arm and uses Karver’s momentum to spin his other leg around and nail an enziguri to the side of Karver’s head. Karver releases Corral leg and stumbles backwards a bit as Corral runs towards Karver now and nails a lightning fast spinning hurricanrana. Corral goes for a quick cover but only gets a two count. Both men roll to their feet as Karver eyes Corral and gives him a slight round of applause.

Max: And I think Karver is just now realizing that Corral isn’t someone to be taken lightly.

Daniel: That was some quick thinking by Corral to block the single leg takedown.

The two men lock up yet again but this time Corral gets Karver in a headlock. Karver shoots Corral into the ropes and Karver goes for a back body drop but corral sees it coming and somersaults over Karver’s back still running towards the ropes. Karver turns around quickly as Corral comes charging at Karver with a dropkick, and connects squarely on the jaw. Corral then gets up quick and scales the top rope, Corral ismeasuring Karver who is getting up. Corral flies off the top with a high cross body, But Karver backs out and hooks the arm of the flying Corral and as Corral hits the mat hard Karver falls down with him locking his arm up in a fujiwara armbar. Corral tires to use his other arm to go and reach for the ropes but Karver thinking quickly pushes his legs upward to flip both he and Corral over on their backs to turn the fujiwara armbar into a cross arm breaker and Karver delivers a few sharp axe kicks to the head for good measure.

Max: Wow, I’ve never seen anything like that.

Daniel: Karver is trying to make sure Corral doesn’t get to those ropes so he is adapting different submission moves to keep Corral as far away from the ropes as he can.

Corral now tries to use his leg strength to pull himself towards the ropes, but Karver is so quick, he releases the armbar and rolls to pick the leg of Corral. He starts the motion for the figure-four leg lock, but Corral quickly rolls him into a small package. The ref is there!

1……………..2………………NO Karver kicks out at two. Karver quickly rolls to the outside, as Corral gets back to his feet. Karver walks over to Jesse and SiNN, SiNN is talkingto Karver a bit as Corral is looking impatient inside the ring.

Daniel: That was quick thinking there by “The Saint.” He knew Karver was going to try and go for another counter move so he was ready to reverse it this time.

Max: It seems like Karver is having a little trouble figuring out Corral’s plan of attack here.

Corral is now the one who gets to his feet and holds the ropes open for Karver and inviting him back in the ring. Karver chuckles a bit and gets in the ring on the other side just like Corral did to him previously.

Max: These two guys are really upping the gamesmanship value of this match right here.

Karver and Corral lock up yet again but this time Karver hooks Corral in a hammerlock. Corral is trying to pick the leg or the head of Karver, but Karver is too crafty for that. Karver then uses his leg to trip up Corral sending him face first into the mat. Karver then rains down a few heavy haymakers to the back and side of Corral’s head. Karver then hooks Corral into a full nelson from the mat and pulls up on it, almost in a camel clutch like maneuver.

Daniel: Ooh, vicious looking hold from Karver there.

Max: I don’t even know how Corral can try to get out of that one.

Karver is applying more pressure to the full nelson and trying to wrench back as much as he can. The ref is asking Corral if he wants to give it up, but Corral is shaking his head no. Corral is actually trying to lean back further than Karver is stretching him.

Daniel: What is he doing? He is trying to get Karver to add more stress on the back!

Max: I’m not sure maybe he just wants to pass out from the pain so he doesn’t have to give up.

To keep the maximum pressure on the full nelson Karver squeezes his hands tighter but can no longer sit on the back of Corral as he gets to one knee and one foot on the mat. Corral is screaming in pain but manages to get to a knee himself and Karver keeps holding the pressure down but the leg strength Corral has in him is enough to get to one foot with Karver now reeling a bit. Corral then uses all his strength to quickly get up to his feet with Karver now bending backwards, but still locking in the full nelson.

Max: Wow, look at the leg strength of Corral right here, a brilliant counter!

Corral then drops backwards quickly landing on Karver with Karver landing on the mat.

Daniel: Wow, that was an awesome counter…but look, Karver has not released the full nelson yet!

Sure enough Karver still has the full nelson locked in, but suddenly Corral bridges his legs upward, and Karver’s shoulder are on the mat. The ref slides over….

1…………………

2………………….

3…………………NO Karver released the full nelson to get out of the pinning predicament as Jesse and SiNN look shocked.

Daniel: Wow, Corral almost made Karver pin himself with that full nelson. That man can beat you with his legs offensively and defensively now it seems.

Max: But I think that may have been Corral’s last effort, the damage is definitely done here Danny Boy.

Corral rolls over holding the back of his neck and kicking the mat in pain as Karver is sitting up knowing he just dodged a big bullet there. Karver gets up to his feet and pulls Corral up by the neck and he pulls Corral’s head between his legs. Karver then lifts Corral up for a powerbomb, but lifts him up by his shoulders for a bit more height.

Daniel: Oh man, Karver looks like he wants to put Corral away with a crucifix bomb right on that neck right here.

Max: So long Mike!

As Karver goes to plant Corral he stops for some reason he can’t power Corral down. The camera pans out to show Corral hooked his legs around the top rope. All of a sudden Corral hooks his arms around Karver’s and uses Karver’s momentum plus some of his own feet bouncing off the top rope to completely flip over Karver and bring the Masterful one hard to the mat in a reverse Unprettier, and now both men are laying face down on the mat.

Max: Oh my God! What a unique counter, Corral has been thinking on his feet the whole time here against an opponent he could barely scout!

Daniel: That was sort of a modified version of Corral’s Triple X, and Karver looks like he may very well be out.

The crowd are now on their feet as the ref is counting both men down.

1…………………

2…………………

Daniel: Neither man has even moved a muscle yet, this is incredible.

3………………….

4…………………..

Max: If neither guy can get up, this means a bye for someone in the second round!

5…………………..

Corral is actually the first to show signs of movement as he is looking up at Karver still face down on the mat.

6…………………..

7…………………….

The crowd is cheering louder and louder with each count they want to see this match continue.

8……………………

Corral is now crawling towards Karver very slowly, and he pushes Karver over onto his back.

9……………………..

Corral slaps an arm on top of Karver, the ref slides over……..

1……………………………

2……………………………..

2.999999999999999999999 No!

Karver gets his foot on the bottom rope just in the nick of time.

Daniel: Oh wow, what ring presence by Karver there. That shows you what kind of veteran he really is.

Corral quickly grabs the leg of Karver that was on the bottom rope and stays on to of Karver.

1……………………….

2……………………….

3…………………………No! Karver got his other foot on the bottom rope!

Corral just looks up at Karver’s other foot and slams his fist into the mat. Corral gets up to his feet slowly and staggers towards the turnbuckle.

Max: Oh man, this could be a mistake.

Daniel: Well if your Corral you have to be thinking what is it going to take to put Karver away.

Corral grabs the top rope, bounces on the bottom rope, then the second, then lets go and springboards off the top rope for a corkscrew Saint-on Bomb, but Karver rolls out of the way! The crowd collectively groans as Karver looks like he was huddling in the corner for his own safety.

Max: That is why they call those moves high risk!

Daniel: Wow, The Saint went for everything there and got absolutely nothing!

Karver quickly goes to roll up Corral and hooks the leg.

1……………………

Daniel: Well, this one’s over.

2……………………..

Max: Valiant effort though.

NO!

Max and Daniel: What?

Corral shoots a shoulder up at the last possible second. Karver gets up and leans himself against the ropes staring incredulously at Corral. Karver then gets a look in his eye almost going mad. He stands right next to Corral picks him up, and Irish whips him hard into the turnbuckle. Karver then mounts the turnbuckle and instead of punches just starts driving huge elbow strikes right to the top of Corral’s head. Karver nails so many elbow drops that Corral now just slumps down into the corner, and he is busted open a little bit.

Daniel: Karver is irate now! He wants to put this away quickly.

Max: God did you see those Ham-fistedlike elbow shots?

Karver then bounces off the ropes and charge at Corral giving him a huge facewash to the head opening the cut a little bit more. Karver pulls out Corral into the center of the ring and covers him hooking the leg.

1…………..2…………..Corral kicks out again at two!

Karver hooks both legs this time…..1…………..2………..Corral kicks out once more!

Max: Mike Corral will not stay down!

Daniel: This debut is certainly a strenuous one for Michael Karver.

Karver gets up and pulls Corral up to his feet. Karver goes for a big right hand, but it’s blocked by Corral. Karver goes for a haymaker, but once again it is blocked. Karver does nail a quick knee to the gut and goes for another big right hand, but corral dodges it and hooks Karver in a Rock Bottom but brings Karver down across the knee in a backbreaker. Corral then starts stomping away at Karver and nails a flipping leg drop right across the throat. Corral goes for a cover, but Karver kicks out at two.

Max: Now it looks like Corral is the one getting frustrated.

Daniel: Neither of these men want to be pinned!

Corral now picks up Karver and Irish whips him hard into the turnbuckle. Corral lifts Karver onto the top rope and grabs his neck in an Ace Crusher position. He then walks forward until Karver’s feet are at the edge of the rope. Corral screams “God Bless You!” and drops down hard with a stunner across the throat of Karver.

Daniel: Oh wow, he hit the Tower of London! This has to be it!

Corral turns Karver over and lays on top of him.

1…………………2……………………3…………………No, Jesse just pulled Karver out of the ring!

Max: Ah ha! What an amazing save from “The Real!”

Daniel: Damn it, this should have been over!

The ref tells Jesse and SiNN to head to the back he is barring them from ringside for the rest of this match! Jesse looks really pissed but he goes and grabs SiNN and wheels him to the back. Corral goes outside and rolls Karver back onto the apron. Corral then climb on the other side of the turnbuckle post on the apron and climbs the top rope, pulling Karver with him. Corral throws one of Karver’s arms over his shoulder and grabs the trunks hoping to lift him up.

Daniel: Oh man he’s looking to end it right here!

Max: He’s looking for the Suicide!

Corral lifts Karver up a little bit but Karver hangs onto the ropes. Corral tries one more tiem but Karver blocks it completely and gives Corral a few shots to the gut. Now Karver gets Corral in a suplex position and lifts him up and sends him inside the ring with a gutbuster from the top rope!

Max: What a counter from Karver!

Daniel: If Corral had hit that move this match would have been over but Jesse’s interference has given Karver a new lease on life.

Karver is exhausted leaning on the top rope from the apron, Corral is down and he isn’t moving that much. Karver then slowly climbs up to the top rope and sits on the top turnbuckle. He comes off the second ropes with a driving elbow to the back of the head of Corral. Karver then goes to pick up Corral, who looks to be out on his feet. Karver then goes into striking mode nailing a few kicks to the side and a kidney punch or two.

Daniel: Oh that’s it, when Karver gets like this he’s going for the Meltdown! It’s a series of MMA type strikes designed specifically to destroy and opponent.

Corral seems to have gotten jarred by one of Karver’s shots though and starts to strike back. Both men are blocking and striking each other and they seem to be about even until Corral lands a side kick followed by a roundhouse to Karver’s head. Corral now goes for a huge spinning clothesline, but Karver ducks and locks in the Dragon Sleeper!

Max: Oh wow, a Dragon Sleeper! How did Karver see that coming?

Daniel: Karver’s MMA skills were put to the test there by Corral and it looks as if Karver has come out on top.

Corral is trying to run around to get to the ropes but Karver is not letting go of the sleeper hold. Karver then jumps up and wraps his legs around Corral in the center of the ring.

Daniel: Oh no, this one’s over! He’s got the Red Eye firmly locked in!

Max: Why does he call it the Red Eye?

Daniel: You’ll see.

The ref is asking Corral if he wants to give it up. Corral is shaking his head no, but there is no give in Karver this time. Karver wrenches down the pressure even more until Corral’s eyes start to become bloodshot. Corral is still shaking his head no, but it becomes slower and slower. The capillaries in Corral’s eyes burst giving him red eyes as the ref lifts his arm and watches it fall three times as the bell sounds.

Mina: Here is your winner, Masterful Michael Karver!

Daniel: What a match by both men here!

Max: I’ll say, Karver has arrived in WPW but Corral made sure he got a proper welcoming committee.

Karver gets his hand raised after the hold is released, and he helps Corral to his feet as well. Karver holds his hand out to Corral. Corral is still trying to see straight with the blood in his eyes, but grasps the hand on Karver and the two men raise each others arms.

Daniel: Now that is some class right there.

Backstage The One is seen walking toward the ring for the final time in his WPW career.

Daniel: Oh man… I can’t believe it’s here already.

Max: What? Someone cut out the Gunnar Brian vs. Andrew Xavier match?

Daniel: I guess we needed room for El Pollo Negro.

Max: Oh, well that’s okay then.

Daniel: Either way, this will be the final appearance of The One, so we’ve been given extra time to broadcast this main event in whole.

Suddenly The One stops. He looks ahead of him, and standing before him are several superstars. To the left is Blade LaVigne, Sky Ryder, Gunnar Brian, Forsaken, Jokester, Mike Foxx, and both Billy James’. To the right is Andrew Xavier, Dan Murph, Jamie Parker, Jesse Long, Brock Goodman, Justin Dreamer, Daren Entreri, and Twizted. Scorch steps out from the middle of all the men, and steps up to The One. The One looks him up and down, but says not a word. The two stand there staring at one another for a long moment before Scorch finally speaks.

Scorch: If this is it… If this is the end… I only have one thing to say to you…

The One still stares at Scorch, his eyes never wandering for a second to the title on his shoulder.

Scorch: Good luck, in whatever you do, in wherever you go from here.

Scorch nods to The One, and The One nods back, and then his former mentor and WPW Champion steps past him to walk into the backstage area. The One doesn’t look back, but instead only forward as Jesse Long now steps up in front of him. Jesse smiles to The One and pats him on the shoulder.

Jesse: Now go give em all one last show yeah?

The One smiles to Jesse, and nods as all the other superstars smile as he walks towards the curtains for the final time as TNT goes to commercial.






Daniel: We welcome you back to TNT coming to you live from the S & G Motor Sports Complex in Greenville, Alabama. And folks, we apologize for the long run of commercials you endured, but for our next match there will be no commercial interruption.

Max: That’s right Daniel. Coming up is the match that the internet community has been buzzing about for over a week. A main event that will be like no other we have seen in WPW. A match that looked like we would never even see in the first place.

Daniel: So true Max. Up next is the main event of our show, and it promises to be one for the ages. Hell, you might want to set you Tivo on record.

Max: And if you live in the stone age, then set that old VCR up to record. Cause you are going to witness a match that will be a one time…..ONE TIME…….only affair. (looks at Daniel) Man, I am ready for this one.

Daniel: As am I, Max. The time has come for The Judge to face off against the man he called out for “one more match”. And that man? The One. A man who will retire after this night. A man who will walk away from the business that he once put his heart and soul into. A man who feels that he no longer has the passion or desire to want to wrestle anymore. A man who is ready for another life with the woman he loves. But also a man who decided to give all of us one more match.

Max: I don’t think One did it for us Daniel.

Daniel: And I agree with you. But nevertheless, he is giving us one more match. He is allowing us one more opportunity to watch him work inside that very ring.

Max: Yeah, this is true. But did he really have to do it? I know why he did. Or, I should say, why he feels, or believes he did accept this challenge from Judge. But, if I were the One, and I had accomplished all that he has, I would look at this match and ask one simple question. Just one.

Daniel: Which would have been?

Max: What do I, as a man who is retiring, a man who is leaving this business……what do I have to gain from this match? Oh sure, I could walk away with a victory and say that in my last match ever, I defeated a man that I claim is riding on my very coat tails. A man that…..I claim…..is a mere carbon copy of me. I proved he was nothing. I proved he was not ready for the main event scene as a singles wrestler.

Daniel: I think you are missing…………………..

Max: (cuts off Daniel) Or, I lose this match to the “carbon copy”. I lose this match to the one I said was riding on my coat tails. Then, Judge proves he is a main eventer in singles competition. That he used One as a stepping stone to prove that. From my point of view, Judge got what he wanted and he can’t lose…even if he loses this match.

Daniel: Well, as I was going to say…………wait……can’t lose even if he loses? (Thinks about Max’s statement). Explain your rationale.

Max: (sighs) Look. Even if Judge were to lose this match, it won’t stop the inevitable. Judge is destined for great things. The guy will be the World Champ one day. Nothing will change that. Not even a loss in a match…against the man that Judge called out. In my mind, One has to win here, if, for any other reason, he wants to keep his legacy in tact.

Daniel: Judge is destined for great things, I will agree with you on that. But I think you are missing the point as to why One accepted the challenge. He knows that if Judge wins that Judge would use it to propel his career. He knows what a loss can do. But One took the match to prove that he he backs down from nobody. That he, no matter the outcome, will not stand back and not accept someone’s challenge. Call it pride. Call it his ego. Call it what you want to. But, and I think we can all agree, The One has always given us his best. And I am quite sure he will here tonight.

Max: Yes, he has. But I still feel that Judge wins here tonight no matter the outcome. Oh, and by the way, we had a poll going on over at WPW.COM, and you will not believe the results of it. We asked people tp pick whom they thought would win this match, and guess what the outcome was?

Daniel: (waits for Max to tell us)……………………………...............

Max: (looks at Daniel, wanting him to ask that “one” question)…………………..

Daniel: (sighs) Well………what was the outcome Max?

Max: (happy) I’m glad you asked, Daniel. Believe it or not, once the poll was closed, it was deadlocked at a tie. That is a first. Although I did hear from the back that Mr. Gonzalez did not get to cast his vote, and he almost opened the poll back up so he could. But being the honest guy that he is, he didn’t. Anyway, so the fans are split as to who will win here tonight.

Daniel: That is interesting. Well folks…..the time is near. Judge vs. One. For the first time, and for the last time. One on one. Time to find out if Judge can beat a man he once respected. Time to see if One can prove just how much of a carbon copy Judge is. Get ready folks. This is going to be a great one.

Max: This is WPW baby. You get this match for free ladies and gentlemen. Enjoy it and get on your knees and thank Mr. Gonzalez for it. Let’s get it on!


The arena is jacked up. The fans know that the main event is about to happen. You can feel the electricity throughout the S & G Sports Arena. We see camera’s backstage, as we see wrestlers huddled close to an LCD TV set. We see Royal Knight and JMC in there dressing room, looking at a monitor so they can watch the match unfold before there eyes. We see Desmond Troy, David Nichols and 2 in another room looking at a monitor as well. We see Carlos Gonzalez in his office, and he is looking at a monitor as well. All of WPW is watching. Mina Henderson makes her way into the ring, ready to do her job. It is almost time.


Mina: Ladies and gentlemen, the time has come, for the main event of the show. (Crowd pop huge, but they are still sitting. No matter. The arena is just waiting have its’ roof blown off its’ top.) The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with no time limit whatsoever.


“Forgive Me” hits and the fans get to there feet. But instead of the arena filling with cheers, the arena is full of boo’s for the man who initiated this challenge. A yellow spotlight shines down on the entrance way, and there we see The Judge. His head is down, and as the music plays he just stands there. Once the voice over says the words “Forgive me”, Judge raises his head and looks not to the crowd…..but right down to the ring. He then, in a trance like state, makes his way down to the ring. The fans are showering him with intense heat. No doubt he will be playing the “heel” here tonight. The camera then cuts to the back where JMC and RK look on. Both men are clapping for there friend and Royalty member. Back to the ring, as Judge is now inside. He walks around the ring as if he is trying to get a good feel for it. He then looks up the entrance way and waits for the arrival of the man that he challenged.


Mina: Introducing first. He hails from Los Angeles, California. He is one half of the WPW, World Tag Team Champions. This is Royalty member……..The Judge!


Max: Look at him Daniel. I don’t think I have ever seen Judge this focused for a match.

Daniel; I agree. But, I think we knew he would be. This is a big night for him.

Max: Yup. His legacy will begin here tonight.

Daniel: Or, it could take a big hit if he loses.

Max: Nope. No matter what happens, Judge is the victor here. A win here, and I predict he goes on to win the TOC. A loss? Well, it might hurt his ego a bit, but he will still go on to become one of the best this business has ever seen.

Daniel: He made the challenge Max. If he loses here tonight, then all anyone will talk about is how “not ready” Judge is.

Max: Oh. He is ready. Look at him. That man is ready to kill whomever steps into that ring with him. He’s ready.


The lights go out, and the fans begin to pop. They know what is about to happen. You can even see flashbulbs going off. Then, a single white light shines down to the entrance way…..and the spotlight is now on The One. “The Hand that feeds” hits and the place goes nuts. The flashbulbs are going off like fireworks, as the fans get there final pictures of The One. One doesn’t say his normal sentences that usually accompany his entrance. Like Judge before him, he stands on the stage, his head down as his music plays. One then raises his head and stares down to the ring. The Judge is looking right back at him. One makes his way towards the ring, never taking his eyes off of Judge. (who keeps his gaze upon One). One then enters the ring, and then stops. He and Judge are just staring down one another. Neither man moves. They just stare one another down.


Mina: And his opponent. He hails from St. Paul, Minnesota. He is a former WPW World Champion, who will be competing in his final match or his career tonight. Ladies and gentlemen….this…..is……The One!


Daniel: I think it is safe to assume that One is just as ready for this match as Judge is.

Max: Or, maybe One wants us to think he is. Doesn’t matter. I think this was a mistake on his part. Show’s what kind of ego this man has.

Daniel: Give it a rest Max. The man was called out, and he accepted. He didn’t have to, but being the competitor that he is, he accepted.

Max: No. He let his ego get in his way. I have respect for The One. But we all know that he has always felt he was bigger than this business. Bigger than this company. Hell, Judge even called him on it.

Daniel: I disagree. One is a man who has done it his way. He never wavered on how he felt, or what he believed in. He may a little bit of an ego, but he has always been about being the best he could. I respect him for that.

Max: Well, I say he is the most egotistical man to ever step foot in a WPW ring. And, to be honest, I won’t miss the guy at all. But hey! That’s just me. In any case, he walked into this trap and now Judge will send him off as a “has been”.

Daniel: Nope. One will leave here tonight with his legacy in tact. He will be remembered.

Max: The One himself even said that people will forget him. Judge pointed that out too. Especially if he loses.. People don’t remember losers Daniel. Winners are remembered. Do you remember who finished with a silver medal….any silver medal in any event….at the Olympics?

Daniel: No. But then again, I don’t remember who won the gold either cause the Olympics suck.

Max: I………………not my point. (gets frustrated) Nobody remembers second place. It’s like having to kiss your own sister. Second sucks.

Daniel: I know what you meant (chuckles). Let’s get to our match shall we? We’ve talked long enough.



Referee Patrick Turner is standing in the middle of the ring as he motions for both men to join him. Judge and One do, yet they never take there eyes off one another. Turner lays down the law. Whether or not Judge or One hears him is totally moot right now. Both men know the rules. They are just itching to get at one another. Turner sends them both back to there respective corners. The lights dim. The fans are on there feet. The flashbulbs are going off like crazy. The bell sounds. Time to get this match going.


Max: Oh yeah baby!


Judge and One are still in there respective corners. But after a few seconds, both men (at the same time) shoot out of there corners and come face to face, nose to nose, in the middle of the ring. They keep staring down one another, neither man uttering a word. They stand there, both men with clenched fists as if they are just waiting to explode into one another. The fans can’t wait for that to happen, as they stomp there feet on the arena floor. Judge is the first to break the stare, as he looks out at the fans and then takes in the environment. He then suddenly realizes that this is the moment he has waited for. He knew it was coming. But now it is here. He knows that this is what he has waited for. He asked for this. He wanted this. And now, standing before him, is the man that he wants to beat to further his career. He then looks back at One. The One then looks out at the crowd and knows that he has been here before. He was in Judge’s shoes when he faced off against JMC a few months back. One knows that this is what Judge wants. He knows the hunger within Judge. But he also knows that this moment, and this match, will be something to remember. This is his final match. This is it. He takes a moment to savor it. Many might feel he has nothing left to prove. But, in The One’s mind, he will always have something to prove. In any case, he was challenged by Judge, and One will be damned if he will ever back down to anyone who challenges him. One then looks back to Judge. Both men nod to one another, as if showing that each understands what is about to happen. They might not like one another, but they do respect each other. Both men then take a few steps back from one another, still keeping there eyes fixed on the other. You can feel that it is about to happen. They are about to fight. Both men fighting for different reasons.


Daniel: You can just feel it is about to happen Max.

Max: I hope this isn’t going to turn into the debacle that was Lesnar vs. Goldberg at WM20.

Daniel: We don’t talk about that “other” company here Max. Besides. We don’t put shit out like that.

Max: True dat!


And then…….BAM! Both men tie up in the middle of the ring. Judge gets a boot to One’s gut, and looks to whip him into the ropes. One reverses it, sending Judge into the ropes. Judge grabs the ropes, stopping his momentum. One looks on . Judge let’s go of the ropes and looks right back at One. The tie up again, and this time One is able to get a boot to Judge’s gut. One then looks for the Irish whip, but Judge is able to reverse it sending One into the ropes. Like Judge was able to do, One grabs the ropes to stop his momentum. Judge looks on and smirks a bit. One does too. Judge then moves to his right as One moves to his left. Collar and elbow tie up yet again, and this time One is able to turn it into a side headlock. Judge punches on One’s midsection, and then picks him up and tosses him over his head. One is able to land on his feet. Judge turns around and One is there to greet him with another side headlock. One locks it in, as Judge looks to maneuver out of it. He then backs One into the corner. Turner comes in and asks for the break. One slowly begins to loosen his grip, as he is worried that Judge will not give a clean break. One let’s go, and Judge does step away, giving the clean break. One looks a bit surprised as Judge steps away from him. One comes out of the corner and then goes right back at Judge. They tie up yet again, only this time, Judge is able to lock a side headlock on One. One looks for a way to get out of the hold, and he simply follows what Judge did to him. He backs Judge up into a corner and then Turner comes in asking for the break. Judge is reluctant this time as he slowly loosens his grip. But when he does, One returns the favor and gives a clean break. Both men begin to look at one another again, trying to figure the other out. It is at this point we here some fan commotion, and once the camera pans up to the entrance way, we see what the commotion is.


Max: I knew it.

Daniel: You knew what?

Max: I knew One would have his flunkies out here to help him.


David Nicholls stands on the entrance way. The fans, not sure what to make of it, cheer Nicholls. But at the same time, they are all wondering if One set this up. One takes his gaze off of Judge. Judge takes his gaze off of One. Both men look and see Nicholls standing at the entrance way. Judge turns and looks at One. But before Judge can say anything, he sees One motioning towards Nicholls.


Daniel: One is gesturing to Nicholls that he doesn’t want him here. One is fighting this match on his own.

Max: Or, he could be saying to Nicholls, “Hey dumb ass. Too early. Come back later.”

Daniel: I seriously doubt that. Look at the look on One’s face.


Indeed. One is not happy that Nicholls is out here. Judge can see this too. He knows One did not want, nor does he want, any help from the group he helped to assemble. One then says to Nicholls, “ This is not your fight. This is mine. I don’t need your help. Go back.” Nicholls looks at One, but he doesn’t move. Seems David wants to stay to show his support for his friend. But One insists that Nicholls leaves. Judge looks on. He could use this opportunity to get in a cheap shot, but he chooses not to. After a few moments, Nicholls then does what One asks. He heads to the back.


Daniel: Glad Nicholls listened to his friend. One obviously does not want anyone out here to help him.

Max: Uh huh. Something tells me that Nicholls and his buddies will get involved in this match.

Daniel: I doubt it. They will respect One’s wishes, and he wants no help from anyone.

Max: Has there been any Frankie sightings to speak of? You know there history.

Daniel: Give it a rest. Frankie is long gone. He had his contract terminated and his liscense revoked.

Max: He could…………………………..

Daniel: Let it go.


Camera picks up on JMC and RK, as both look on. Seems they were ready to come out had Nicholls stayed. But they both relax and look on. Back in the ring, One looks back to Judge. Judge tells One that Royalty will not come out. One looks indifferent about this news. Could be true. Could be a lie. But it doesn’t matter. One then moves in. Judge does too. Another tie up. The fans are getting a little impatient now. Enough with the tie up’s. They want some action. One backs Judge into a corner and before Turner can come in, One breaks the hold. But then, he suddenly comes in with a knife edge chop to Judge’s chest. And then another. And then another, each time he lands one Judge’s chest turns redder and redder. The fans are now getting excited. Things are picking up. Judge then rakes the eyes of One, and then grabs him. Judge then places One in the corner and returns the favor, giving One a lashing of knife edge chops. Then, One pokes Judge in the eyes, and the fans are loving it. One then picks Judge up and delivers an old school body slam. One then gets to the middle turnbuckle, but before he can do anything, Judge rolls away from him, and gets to his knees. Judge is looking at One, and he is not happy with how things are going. One is amused, as he looks at Judge and mouths, “Come get some…..carbon copy!”. This enrages Judge, and he charges in at One. One moves and Judge hit’s the turnbuckle. One grabs Judge from behind and connects with a reverse neck breaker. One doesn’t attempt a cover. He gets right on top of Judge and then locks on another headlock. Judge is on the ground, but he is wiggling, trying to find a way out of the headlock. Judge then turns himself over on his front side, with One still having the hold on. Then, he gets both himself and One to there feet. Judge goes to push One off of him, but One gets the hold on, not letting go. Judge tries this again, but again it fails. Judge then picks One up and connects with a back suplex……but One still manages to keep the hold locked on.


Daniel: That has to frustrate Judge.

Max: Of course it does. But, this is Judge we are talking about here. He will find a way out of the hold.


You can tell that Judge is a bit frustrated. But nevertheless, Judge makes another attempt to break the hold. He gets both men to there feet, and again goes to push One off of him. This time, Judge is successful, as he sends One into the ropes. But One comes off the ropes and takes Judge down with a shoulder block. One the runs and comes off the ropes. Judge gets to his feet, but he gets another shoulder block for his troubles. One again runs to the ropes, coming off them as Judge stands. One lunges in, but this time Judge is ready. He sidesteps One and takes him down with a drop toe hold. Judge then looks to the ropes, wanting to dish out some offense. Judge comes off the ropes and then as One stands, Judge takes him down with a shoulder block. Judge then runs to the ropes again, coming off them looking for another shoulder block. Judge is successful, taking down One with another shoulder block. Judge then looks to the ropes for a third time. One is to his feet, as Judge comes off the ropes. Judge lunges in….but One is ready with a standing drop kick that connects to Judge’s kisser. Judge hit’s the mat and then rolls out underneath the bottom rope and to the outside. The fans at ringside let Judge hear it as One stands in the center of the ring looking at his opponent.

Daniel: Nice exchange between both men, but it is obvious that One is in the head of Judge at the moment.

Max: Or maybe Judge wants you and all these One fanatics to believe that to be true. This is Judge we are talking about here. The man who waited for a year to get revenge on Sinn. Hell, he even tagged with the guy. You never can tell what Judge is thinking.

Daniel: Well, whatever he is thinking, you can tell he is not happy with how things are going in this match.

Max: We’ve only just begun Daniel.


Judge is pacing back and forth outside. He is looking down, not acknowledging the fans at ringside at all. It is obvious he is going over his strategy, trying to figure out what to do next. One is still in the center of the ring. He hasn’t moved nor does he plan to. He is not going to chase after Judge. He’s smarter than that. Hell, both men are wrestling a smart match thus far trying to avoid the one mistake that could turn the tide into the opponents favor. Turner is making his ten count, as he is up to five by now. Judge then gets to the steel steps and walks up them. He gets on the ring apron, and then looks in at One. One is still in the center of the ring. He will allow Judge free entry without any interference. Turner stops the count and then motions for Judge to enter the ring. Judge doesn’t see Turner do this, but he acts like he does as he enters the ring.


Daniel: You know. I have to hand it to Judge. One had momentum on his side, as the action was picking up. But Judge made a brilliant call to stop that, taking time to gather himself. In a match of this magnitude, that kind of act does seem cowardly. But, it is also a smart play.

Max: Are you feeling alright?

Daniel: Yes. Why do you ask?

Max: Cause you are complimenting Judge. You never do that.

Daniel: That is not true. I might not care for Judge and the way he does go about some of his business. But I do have respect for him when it comes to wrestling. And, not being biased, he made a good play.

Max: I agree with you. Glad you can be objective.

Daniel: Don’t start.

Max: I’m just saying. Glad to see it.


Judge is now in the ring. He cracks his knuckles and then begins to circle One. One is still standing in the middle, but he keeps his eyes fixated on Judge. Judge comes in looking for a tie up, but One side steps him and grabs him from behind, his arms locked around Judge’s waits. One takes down Judge face first. Judge manages to wiggle free, and is able to lock his arms around the waist of One. They stand, and this time Judge picks One up to his side and then plants him face first. Both men are showing a rare technical side to there arsenal, but it is refreshing to see this from them. Judge then slaps One silly on his bald head. This provokes One to reverse the hold, and now he is on top of Judge, laying face first on the mat. One then playfully slaps the back of Judge’s head, and then stands. One, for the first time in a long time, cracks a smile. Judge gets to his feet, and he is no longer amused. He charges in at One, but is met with a thunderous right. This staggers Judge, but then he comes in with a right of his own. Then, it happens. Both men begin to trade blows. The fans, most of whom have been sitting waiting for things to erupt, get to there feet. One and Judge begin to trade punches with one another. It is now a slugfest, with neither man backing down, and each landing one blow after another on there opponent. Judge is somehow able to get One to back up to the ropes, even with both men trading blows. Judge gets a kick to One’s midsection. One hunches over, and as he does, Judge grabs his arm and whips him across the ring. But One is able to reverse it, and it is now Judge who connects with the turnbuckle. Judge comes off and is hit with a back body drop from One. Judge grabs at his back, but he gets to his feet. He rushes in but One is waiting. One looks for the Heaven’s Rest, his submission finisher. But Judge quickly and frantically gets away from it, and then slides underneath the ropes again. The look on Judge’s face says it all. He is not at all pleased with how things are going. He honestly thought One would not be “this” prepared for the match. At least, not as prepared as Judge was. But it is obvious that Judge now knows he is in for a fight. He probably knew he would be, but he also felt he would dominate this match…well, most of it anyway. One looks out at him, a smirk on his face. He might be retiring but you can tell he is loving this. Turner is making his count out yet again, but Judge is still walking on the outside. One sees this, and then decides that he is going to take the fight to Judge. They’ve been respectful to one another. Now, it is time to fight. Judge does not see One. He turns and gets blasted with a clothesline from One. One then gets on top of Judge and begins to nail him with rights and lefts. The fans are going nuts. This is what they want to see. One kicking Judge’s ass. Turner, having restarted his count out, is now back to five or six. One hears it, and then he rolls back into the ring to stop the count…..and then rolls right back out to dish out some more punishment on Judge.


Max: One showing his true colors there. Hit a man with his back turned.

Daniel: Don’t even go there. You know damn well Judge would’ve done the same. And besides, Judge was facing One when One took him down with that clothesline. (smirks).

Max: Yeah. You would say that. Turner needs to get this match back into the ring. One should be disqualified.

Daniel: For what?

Max: For attacking Judge on the outside.

Daniel: You can’t be serious.

Max: (sounding doubtful) I…….am….serious?


Daniel just shakes his head at Max. Back to the action, One grabs Judge and then whips him into the steel baricade on the outside. Judge is in pain, as One comes in and lands a couple of rights and lefts. One then tosses Judge underneath the ropes and back into the ring. One rolls in right behind him, making a cover attempt.

………………….Judge gets a shoulder up. One gets to his feet, backs up, and then drops a knee to the forehead of Judge (ala Ric Flair). Judge wiggles in pain, as his hands grab at his forehead. Backstage, JMC and RK look on, and they look concerned. But neither man is making a move to leave there dressing room. Camera picks up on Mr. Gonzalez, and he too looks to be concerned. Nicolls, 2 and Troy look pleased with what is going on. Back to the ring, and One has Judge up. Snapmare takeover connects, and then One follows it up with a Shining Wizard…..but at the last second, Judge ducks it as One hits nothing but air. Judge then grabs One from behind, brings him down…..backbreaker on the knee of Judge connects. Both men down, but Judge has stopped One’s offense for the time being.

Max: What a move by Judge!

Daniel: I have to say I agree.


Camera picks up on JMC and RK in the back, and now they seemed relieved . Mr. Gonzalez cracks a tiny smile, while Nicolls, 2 and Troy look concerned now.


Max: That right there is a prime example of why Judge is well on his way to main event status. Just when you thought he was down, he pulls a move like that out of nowhere.

Daniel: It was impressive. Now, Judge has to capitalize on it.


On cue, Judge is able to get to his feet and then he stomps away on One. Judge was waiting for and looking for an opportunity to gain control of this match. Now, he has done that, but he knows he has to stay on top of One. He gets One to his feet and then locks on an Abdominal Stretch. Judge wants to work on the back of One some more. One is in obvious pain, but he is fighting it. Judge is close to the ropes, and as such, he grabs the top rope for leverage. On cue, the fans are shouting at the ref, trying to get his attention. Turner walks over to Judge, and right before he can catch Judge, Judge lets go of the top rope. Turner backs away, and when he does, Judge goes right back and grabs the top rope again. The fans are going rabid, and Turner moves in. But Judge is clever enough to let go of the rope just before Turner can see him grasping it. Turner backs away again, and again Judge is going to grab the top rope. But One is having enough of being in the pain he is in. Somehow, he is able to reach deep down and toss Judge in front of him. This breaks the hold, but One is spent…a little bit anyway. Judge is able to get right back up to his feet. He charges in and clotheslines One over the top rope. One’s back hit’s the arena floor with a thud. One grabs his back, in obvious pain. Judge then grabs hold of the top rope. He looks at it and then looks down at One. Judge then decides to hell with it. He pulls himself up and over. Judge is going airborn, as he looks to flatten One. But at the last second One is able to move out of the way, as Judge comes crashing down face first to the arena floor. The fans pop for One, but also cringe for Judge. That was not a pretty sight. Camera picks up on a worried Royalty team and a worried Carlos Gonzalez.


Daniel: Judge made his first real big mistake. I went to hit a high flying move, something he is not known for, and it backfired.

Max: One got lucky. That’s all. He doesn’t move, then Judge connects with it, gets One back in the ring, hit’s the Judgment DDT, and it is all over.

Daniel: But it won’t happen that way. A head’s up move by One.


Turner has his count out, but you can tell he is reluctant to do it. He knows that the fans don’t want to see a count out in a match of this magnitude. But, he has a job to do, and do it he must. Judge is down, but he is moving. One uses the barricade to help him get to his feet. He clutches his back, trying to shake off the pain. One looks over at Judge who is also trying to get to his feet. One then hears Turner at the count of seven. One makes his way to the ring, crawls underneath the ropes, stops the count, then slides back to the outside. Judge is to his knees. He looks up. One comes flying in with a Shining Wizard, and this time it connects. The fans go nuts. Some managed to get a good picture of that move. One is on his feet, leaning against the ring. He looks over Judge, and realizes that now is the time to finish this. He has Judge right where he wants him. One grabs Judge and manages to get him back into the ring. Judge is now lying on his back. One is now on the ring apron…and then he begins to ascend the turnbuckle. One is now at the top. He looks out to the crowd, and the fans are going crazy. No one is sitting now. Everyone in the arena is on there feet. One then calls for it. He goes for the Un-Believer. But at the very last second, Judge gets his knees up and prevents One from hitting the move. The fans can’t believe it. They thought One had. But Judge won’t go down that easily. Both men down in the ring. One is writhing in pain, grabbing his midsection. Judge is down, but he is looking up at the arena roof. He looks over and sees One is in pain. Judge then grabs the ropes, using them to help pull himself up. One is now doing the same on the other side of the ring. One gets up, and turns. Judge greets him with a boot to the gut……and then follows it with a power bomb. Judge then makes a cover.

……………..One gets a shoulder up, and we continue. Judge looks up at referee Turner but says nothing. Judge then lands a couple of rights and lefts for good measure and then gets One up to his feet. Judge then whips One into the turnbuckle. One’s back hit the turnbuckle, and he screams out in pain. Judge then follows this up by sending One across the ring into the opposite turnbuckle. Again, One’s back takes the blunt of the damage, as this time One falls face first to the mat. Judge then looks out to the crowd, and for the first time in this match, he acknowledges them by talking some smack. “Look at your hero. Look at the man that you cheer for.”, Judge says to the fans. The respond with an “asshole” chant. This only amuses Judge.


Max: Ha! Ha! You gotta love Judge. Told you he would turn this thing around.

Daniel: That he has. But he needs to stop toying with the fans and focus on winning this match.

Max: He is in complete control. Let him have his fun at the expense of these rednecks.

Daniel: Could come back to bite him in his butt.


Judge moves in on One, and he is so confident that he lets his guard down. One comes up punching at Judge’s midsection, trying to fight him off. Judge hunches over and One comes in with an forearm shot to his head. Judge stumbles backwards, as One gets to his feet. He is showing the pain on his face, and it is the pain that his back is causing him. One goes right at Judge and rakes his back. Judge cringes and grits his teeth. He turns as One grabs him and locks his arms around his waist. One head butt….two….three….four…five….six….seven…eight (the counting with each head butt), nine…..and ten. One let’s go as Judge stumbles backwards. One then sizes Judge up. Super drop kick connects and sends Judge flying through the ropes, and down to the floor. The fan goes nuts, as One nips up to his feet. He has his second wind, and the fans can feel it. One yells out to the fans, and they respond with a huge pop. This is amazing. Judge is laying on the outside. Just moments ago, he had the momentum. But now One has changed all that. One goes to the outside and grabs hold of Judge. Instead of having his way with Judge on the outside, One tosses Judge back into the ring. Turner stops his count as Judge is now lying down on the mat. One comes in, wasting no time at all. He grabs the right leg of Judge, and then looks out to the crowd. One then locks on the figure four leg lock. The place goes nuts, as One locks on the move that won Ric Flair many a match.


Max: What the hell? One is not Ric Flair.

Daniel: No he’s not, but he does know how to use this hold. And he has Judge right smack dab in the middle of the ring.

Max: I don’t believe this. How did this happen so fast? Judge was in total control.

Daniel: Told you Judge should have not wavered on staying on top of One.

Max: He’s going to find a way out of this. Judge will. (Not sounding too sure of what he is saying). He has too.

Daniel: Not so confident huh, Max? But you are right. Judge has to find a way out of this.


Judge sits up, and is in obvious pain. But he is not tapping and he looks at One and tells him he won’t tap. One uses all he can to apply more pressure, and it works. Judge’s face is so red that beads of sweat are pouring from it. But he still will not tap. Backstage, JMC and RK are very worried, but they continue to cheer there friend and cohort on. Judge then sits up and starts to punch away on One’s legs. His punches are frantic, but he is trying all he can to get out of the hold. If he stays in it much longer, he knows he will lose this match. Judge then falls to his back, his shoulders on the mat. Turner comes in with a count.

2.5.………………….Judge raises up, preventing the pinfall count. Judge is in pain, but there is another look on his face. He is determined now. He digs deep within himself. He is now trying to reverse the hold. After about a minute of trying, he is now turning. He now has himself and One on there sides. And then….he reverses it. Judge has turned the figure four against One, but as soon as he does, One releases the hold. Judge survived, but he still had a lot taken out of him. One is to his feet as Judge is down and out.


Max: Judge made it. Whew!

Daniel: That he did, but at what cost? The figure four took a lot out of him. Can he find his second wind in this match?

Max: He will, Daniel. He reversed the figure four and he will find a way to get back into this match.


But One is up to his feet. He knows that he is in control of this match, but he cannot rest either. One knows he has to put Judge away. One makes his way towards Judge. Judge sees this and he grabs Turner and puts the ref in between himself and One. One grabs Turner, looking to move him away from the action. But as he does, Judge comes in with a low blow. Turner does not see it at all. Judge then moves to his feet with a new found energy burst. He grabs One. Judgment DDT! JUDGMENT DDT! The fans go silent. They are stunned. Judge hit his finisher on One.


Max: Yes!

Daniel: What a move!

Max: That is why Judge is a main eventer. From out of nowhere he hit his finisher.

Daniel: Well, he used Turner to get in the way so he could hit that low blow.

Max: But Turner never saw it, so it is legal. What a move!


But both men are down. Judge, with that burst of energy, is spent. One, after suffering the Judgment DDT, is out of it. The fans are in disbelief. Backstage, JMC and RK know that if Judge can just made the cover, that this one will be done. Mr. Gonzalez knows this as well, as he begins to pray for Judge to make the cover. Nicolls, 2 and Troy are worried. Judge looks over at One. He knows he has to find the strength to make the cover. He crawls over, inch by inch, getting closer to One. The fans can’t believe it will end this way. Judge is close enough now that he drapes his arm over One. Turner makes the count.

3.……………………….NO! One, at the last possible second, gets a shoulder up. Judge can’t believe it. Backstage, JMC, RK and Carlos can’t believe it either. The fans let out a huge pop. They are relieved that One is not done yet.


Max: I don’t believe this.

Daniel: This match continues Max. Believe it.


Judge sits up. He makes his way to a corner, pulling himself up with the ropes. One, somehow, someway, has manages to crawl to another corner. Judge watches him. One pulls himself up. One turns and is now looking at Judge. Judge looks at him and just shakes his head in disbelief. It’s as if Judge is saying, “What do I have to do to put this man down?”. What Judge doesn’t realize is that One is thinking the same thing about him. One had Judge in the middle of the ring. It was perfect. Judge should’ve tapped. But somehow, someway, he found the strength to reverse it. Both men look at one another, and then One motions for Judge to “come on”. Judge comes out of the corner, his legs a bit wobbly. One comes out and his legs are wobbly as well. They are now in the center of the ring, trading punches with one another. The fans, realizing they are watching two warriors go at one another, neither man backing down, and both men taking all that the other has, are jacked. Flashbulbs are going off like crazy, as Judge and One trade punches. One gets the upper hand, backing up Judge to the ropes. One goes and whips Judge into the ropes. Judge comes off the ropes. When he does, One comes at him. SPEAR! The spear connects. The fans go nuts. Max can’t believe it. Neither can JMC, RK and Carlos. One makes the cover. This has got to be it.

3.………………….NO! Judge gets his shoulder up. The fans thought it was over. One thought it was over. But Judge is still alive in this match. JMC, RK and Carlos breathe a sigh of relief. One looks at Turner. He knows Judge got his shoulder up in time, but he still gives Turner a look.


Max: That was close.

Daniel: Very close. But Judge is still in this, showing that it will take more than a spear to stop him.

Max: Of course it will. Figure four. Spear. What else does One have?

Daniel: You know what he has left, Max. The God…..Like…..

Max: Oh hush up you!


One gets himself and Judge up. He looks out to the crowd and now he wants work on Judge some more. One connects with a Northern lights suplex. Judge is down, as One is quick to grab him and then get him to his feet. He then whips Judge, but Judge is able to reverse it. Judge hangs onto One. One realizes this, and goes for a quick clothesline. But Judge is able to duck it. Judge grabs One from behind. The Jail Cell. Judge locks on The Jail Cell. Judges’ version of the Chicken Wing sleeper is locked on…but not good enough. One is able to get his left arm free, and he elbows Judge in the gut. Judge is backed up against the ropes. One turns and swings at Judge. Judge ducks and then goes and tosses One over him and over the top rope. But One lands on his feet on the outside ring apron. Judge turns, and as he does, One grabs hold of his head. He leads Judge over to a corner and then takes Judges’ head and rams it into the top turnbuckle. Judge stumbles backwards. As he does this, One gets up on the turnbuckle. He comes off the top turnbuckle with a high flying cross body. Judge catches him and they hit the mat. But Judge uses One’s momentum and reverses it. Turner makes the count.

2.9999.………………………One kicks out! Both men to there feet, but One surprises Judge with an inside cradle for a pin. Turner counts.

…………Judge kicks out. Both men up again, but this time it is Judge kicks One in the gut, then goes for the crucifix pin. Turner makes the count.

……………….One kicks out. Both men up but instead of going in at one another, they stand there ground. They stare at one another, trying to figure out there next move. The Greenville fans are going nuts. This match is everything that they hoped it would be. One and Judge are giving it there all.


Daniel: This is unbelievable. What a match.

Max: I will agree with you. This match is off the hook.

Daniel: Indeed it is, Max. And who knows how long these two will go at it?


Judge makes the first move, with a thunderous right haymaker. One backs up a little, but then returns the favor with a haymaker of his own. Both men begin to trade haymakers, until One is able to get the upper hand. Or so he thinks. He lands a couple of haymakers in a row, backing Judge up. But Judge, aware of where he is at, falls down to one knee. One thinks he has Judge where he wants him. But as soon as One let’s his guard down a little, Judge nips up and grabs One. Belly to belly suplex connects. Judge makes a cover.

………..One gets a shoulder up. Judge is up to his feet, and then he grabs One. Judge wants to end this. He wants to hit his finisher one more time. Judge has One locked up, ready to hit it. But One blocks it by hitting Judge in his kidneys. One then grabs Judge, picking him up and then ramming Judges’ back into the corner turnbuckle. One then backs up to the opposite corner. He wants another spear. One runs in. Judge moves out of the way at the last second. One goes through the middle of the turnbuckle, his should hitting the ring post. The fans cringe at seeing One do this. Out of instinct, Judge grabs One by his trunks, and then rolls him up….with a hand full of tights. Turner makes a count, even with the fans in protest.

3.………………..NO! It didn’t work. One is able to kick out ever with ramming his shoulder in the ring post and even with Judge having a hand full of tights.


Daniel: Judge almost won this great match in a most dishonest way.

Max: What are you talking about?

Daniel: Uh! The handful of tights that Judge had, trying to secure the pin.

Max: I saw no such……(Max sees the replay and it clearly shows Judge with a handful of tights.) Uh huh.

Daniel: That shut you up.


Judge is to his feet, and he is not happy. He gets right up in Turner’s grill. Judge felt he had three. But Turner is adamant that he didn’t. Judge shakes his head. Maybe the pressure of beating One is getting to him. Judge gets One to his feet, but One surprises him with a burst of energy. One gets behind Judge….and he locks on the Heaven’s Rest! The place goes nuts. One hit that from out of nowhere. But he has it locked on, and now Judge is in trouble.


Max: Mother of……………..

Daniel: What a move! One has the Heaven’s Rest locked on. This could be it.


But Judge knows where he is at, and he knows that One is close to the ropes. He is able to back One up to the ropes and as he does, he manages to wrap his right foot on the bottom rope. Turner calls for the break. One does not want to let go, but he does. Judge is wobbly, and now One is sizing him up. One motions to the fans. They know what he is thinking. He calls for it……”The God Like Drop!” The fans say it with One. Judge turns, and One gets him set up. It looks to be over now. But Judge is able to free himself, as he lands on his feet behind One. One turns around, and as he does……………… BOOM! Judgment DDT! Judgment DDT! Judge hit it. The fans can’t believe it. Judge makes the cover.

3.………………………E! He did it. He did it! Judge has pinned The One by hitting him with a surprise Judgment DDT. The fans are in shock. Judge is on his knees, as he looks to heavens and let’s out a scream of delight. He knows that he just scored a huge win for himself. He then looks over at One. He gets to his feet, walks backwards, and then falls, back against the turnbuckle, as his butt hit’s the canvas. He keeps looking at One. It is sinking in on him that he could have just as easily lost this match as he won it. He holds his head down, as Mina Henderson makes it official.


Mina: Ladies and gentlemen, here is the winner of this contest…..The Judge!


Daniel: What a match!

Max: And look who won it Daniel. Judge proved that he is a main eventer. He beat one of the best in this business. Judge deserves your respect.

Daniel: I have always respected him Max. I just don’t like the way he conducts himself at times. I never doubted that he had the goods and would be a main eventer.

Max: Well, he proved it. He hit the Judgment DDT from out of nowhere and scored a clean win.

Daniel: That he did.


Judge gets to his feet. One is now getting up to his. We then see One’s face. He knows that he lost, and while he isn’t all that happy about it, he knows that Judge bested him on this occasion. Judge’s music has been playing since he won, but then it stops as the fans begin to clap for One. One is to his feet. Judge is still in the corner. The fans, knowing that this is it, that this is the last time One will be inside a WPW ring, let One know how much they appreciate him. But before they can begin, Judge makes his way towards One. By this time, JMC, happy that his friend and cohort has beaten The One, is making his way to the stage. JMC comes out, and is clapping as we see him appear. The fans begin to boo the former WPW Champion, but JMC could care less. Judge turns and sees JMC. He nods to his tag team partner, and then turns to face One. One, not knowing what to expect from Judge, looks ready to want to defend himself. But then Judge does something that we never saw coming……..he extends his hand, wanting to show and pay respect to One. The fans are shocked, and immediately feel that it is a trick from Judge. But Judge says nothing. He keeps his arm extended, wanting One to accept his gesture. One looks at Judge’s extended arm, and then looks Judge in the eyes. One then accepts the gesture. Judge and One are shaking hands.


Daniel: What a class move by Judge. These two beat the living hell out of one another, and now they show respect to one another.

Max: Judge is a class act. A top notch guy. And, One is too. I guess.

Daniel: Max. Savor this. A moment like this is rare.

Max: You are right Daniel. I will break character now and say that it has been a pleasure watching One wrestle in WPW. I hate to see him go, but at least he is leaving with dignity. He lost in a great match to a great competitor.

Daniel: Why can’t you talk like that more often?

Max: Cause Carlos pays me well to be an ass.

Daniel: You do it well.


JMC can’t believe what he is seeing. He almost seems to be disgusted by it. He turns and then walks away, heading to the back. Judge is about to let go of the grip, but One pulls Judge in close to him. One then whispers something into Judge’s ear. Judge then backs away and nods to One. Judge then exit’s the ring and makes his way to the back. One stands in the ring, and as he does, the fans begin to applaud him. A “Thank You One” chant begins. Judge is at the top of the stage. He looks out at the crowd and then back to the ring where One is. Judge has won the match, and now he is going to do the right thing. This is now One’s moment to savor the fans appreciation for him. Judge makes his way to the back. One looks out at the fans, and is humbled by the response.


Daniel: Say what you want about him. Love him or hate him. But you cannot deny that The One gave you all that had every time he stepped into the ring.

Max: That he did. And even in defeat, the man will leave knowing that he ended JMC’s title reign. He became one of the greats that WPW has ever seen.

Daniel: And he did it his way, Max. Folks, thank you for tuning in to TNT. What a night this has been. We will see you next week for our next installment of TNT. Goodnight.

Max: Wait! What about……………………..(but the show fades to black before we can hear Max finish his sentence).

[APostingGod]

I appretiate all the effort towards giving me a send off, it give me a smile I usually wouldn't have after losing a match. As for the match, Chazz you ended it how I saw it, I didn't want to leave with ass kissing or ceremony, I wanted to leave as I came, with half the audiance split. Be it when I started when it was people who thought I was good, and people thought I was bad. Then it went on to the Love/Hate thing, and you portrayed it perfectly. Judge, you won and I was hoping you would. Couldn't invision not leaving on my back. I hope the RP battle made you just a little bit better, and took a little of that storyteller out of you and made you ready for Scorchy and Co. Thank you for the match. Thanks for the TNT. I'm gonna miss it.

[M Karver]

I would suppose it would be somehow poetic if I were to post after One. As he leaves us I am back. I want to thank everyone for pushing for this for a long, long time. Im going to try and be what everyone thinks I can be.

But before I say anything more I need to lead a round of applause of Mike Corral...you could have easily won that battle kid. You can be great and I was honored to be put to a test so quickly.

The Masterful One is back boys...get ready for war!

Damn, two competitors in the ToC and I still lost. :P

Nah, it was a good match. I'm actually honored that I got to take on MMK in his first match back and glad to give him a run for his money. Anytime he wants a rematch, I'd be more than happy to give him one.

Speaking of One.... good way to have him leave the company. Not in a big showy way, not in a quiet way a la Tazz & ECW....... but as The One, nothing more, nothing less. Good show all around.

And with that, we see an end to the first round of the ToC

Go check out the prediction thread for results

Dan was right..I'm not gonna hear the end of this.

Welcome back, Karver! I remember when I first started E-Fedding that you were one of the top guys. After reading your RP's, I know why.

It's sad to see One go again, but atleast you went out smoothly.

The Masterful One is back boys...get ready for war!

Oh please... Just face me, it'll go right down the wire and have to be decided by a coin toss! muahahaha.

Sorry to see One go though. From the skimming, it was quite a match. I'll be reading the show fully when I'm not quite so tired, so probably tomorrow, after work.

APG. What I am about to say, I want you to know I mean it. I wrote this match with the mindset of making both you and Judge look good. Even with you leaving, I knew I wanted to do that. And the rp battle you and Judge gave us was awesome. I enjoyed writing this match for you guys. I hope I did you two justice. But more than anything APG, even in defeat (and this was a tough one to call) you can walk away knowing that you gave it your all. I could tell that in your rp's. Judge did as well. I hope this match was what everyone was hoping it would be. Glad that I could write it.

The show played off nicely, much better than last week's edition of TNT. The TOC is picking up now and should get much more intense coming up.

I had some fun promoing this week, and even more reading the battles between One and Judge as well as Corral vs Karver. I think Corral did an excellent job there and I would throw in my vote for him to replace Dust in round 2, he did that well.

I did like the end of the show, though it did surprise me in a way. Not the match ending, it looked like Judge had the close call, but the aftermath. Since he has started in WPW, The One has always said "you'll thank me when it's over" and contrary to what Ryan said, to me it would have been fitting for everyone to thank him seeing as The One's career was "over" (in the wrestling sense where nothing is ever really over, right Terry Funk?) at that point. It did have some of that since the fans chant Thank You, but I always thought One was addressing the other wrestler's with that line in addition to the people in general. Not a bad ending by any means, just one that caught be a little by surprise.

It will be fun to see how Royalty addresses the tension at the end.

And Ryan, your "Thank You" is on reserve, just in case it is not really over.

I have got to admit that is is probably the best tNT in a while, a good effort in RPing by a lot of people did transalte to a good show and gave that extra bit of emotion to the writers to do somethign fantastic.
I personally liked the ending, it would be how I would like to go whenever I do. It's saying goodbye to The One, not APG. We'lls ee APg because he's one of those Red-Font users that live in WP. The One is who is actually leaving and we celebrated him correctly in the wierd universe he lives inside. And with that, I will say I shall miss The One. But in character, as he possibly would like, I curse him for driving a possible wedge between the greatest tag team of all time!

[Snowman]

Now tha I've had a chance to read the main event in detail, I just wanna say that it was awesome. I honestly couldn't decide between the RP's so I had no idea who was gonna win. Who ever wrote the match managed to make One look good, even though he lost, and that was cool. Even though One lost, I think it was one hell of a way to go out.

Oh and congrats Judge.

[legendaryken]

I curse him for driving a possible wedge between the greatest tag team of all time!

Don't be silly, Prom. Read the match again. The wedge was Connie's baby, and the One had nothing to do with it.

legendaryreview:

Foxx/TOK: Mine. Got the ball rolling for a top class TNT. Only one RP to go on, so it was maybe a bit thin.

Hardcore title: Would have been match of the night most other nights. We nearly had it won, too. Thanks for keeping the politician/wrestler balance correct, Prom. Good spot with Tank Military Pressing Jokester onto 2 and through the table except..........he wouldn't have kicked out afterwards! We were definitely playing for a Tank win. The baby spot was hilarious too. Very much the sort of thing he would do. I dunno what's planned for Jokester next. Can I plead not to be put against Tank? Jokester doesn't carry grudges and it wont look good for him to be laying waste to WPW's entire African-American contingent!

S/P v JMC/RK: Good detailed match with some nice asides.

Corral v Karver: I was 2 weeks early in predicting the Karver return. Ah well. Nice to see the 2.999999999999 rule back in effect. Match proved that good RP battles = good match.

Judge v One: Entirely successful. It's all been said above, I reckon. Usual Chazz touch of magic.

Looking forward to next week.
