WPW Tuesday Night Turmoil
December 11th, 2007
Houstin Hills Community Center
Montgomery, Alabama
The Show begins around an old card table, We see The Royal Knight and the Judge staring at one another. RK fiddles with a ball of tape, motioning it around his elbow. He cuts it and offers some to Judge. Who refuses. Still with tape in his mouth, RK turns and speaks.
RK: We have a Plan this week?
Judge: A better plan than most weeks. We go in, win, leave.
RK: I like it! Can hardly get confusing can it?
Cassius walks past, undoing his tie from around his neck. His sister walks with him.
JMC: There are some confusing parts to it actually. It is just that I alone will deal with that.
RK: Are we going to get him this week? Get him good?
JMC: Oh indeed we are. We are going to finally do what we have needed to do for four long months!
RK: Awesome!
Daniel: Foreboding already for the WPW title match I think!
Max: Wait, are we live?
“TNT” by ACDC hits the speakers as the video for Tuesday Night Turmoil begins to play. The video finishes up and explosions erupt throughout the arena as the camera makes wide circles, mostly shooting the same people over and over again so that it seems there are more people in attendance then there actually are.
Daniel: Welcome to Tuesday Night Turmoil! I’m Daniel Justice and sitting beside me is Max Stockton, and we are three, count them, three weeks away from 2008 and the Tournament of Champions!
Max: But tonight Daniel, oh yes oh yes oh yes tonight is the big wedding!
Daniel: Yeah yeah, I remember Max.
Max: I heard that Carlos tried to get it changed to next week, but I mean, c’mon! Aurora has already spent hours on the phone every day with her wedding planner setting this bad boy up!
Daniel: Yes, we know, the wedding planner I’m sure is somewhere in attendance tonight.
Max: Somewhere, not sure where though. Damn shady wedding planners.
Daniel: We’re starting off tonight though not with a relationship gone right, but a relationship turned sour, as Royal Knight teams with his ex-girlfriend Super Sexy Girl, and a man he just can’t seem to get along with in Justin Dreamer, against Martin Cameron, Blade LaVigne, and Presidential Candidate John Oliver Edwa…
Max: Jokester! Jeez Daniel.
Cameron, Jokester, and Blade LaVigne all stand in the ring waiting for their opponents.
Mina: This match is scheduled for one fall, and is a three on three tag match.
Max: a.k.a a clusterfuck.
Dan: quiet.
Mina: In the ring, at a combined weight of 730 lbs, Jokester, Blade LaVigne, and Martin Cameron!
as "E-Pro" by Beck suddenly begins to play. Royal Knight walks out with Justin Dreamer and Super Sexy Girl following him. They both seem uncomfortable to have him leading, but continue to follow as he poses and taunts the crowd.
Mina: and their opponent, at a combined weight of 547 lbs, Justin Dreamer, the Royal Knight, and Super Sexy Girl!
Max: I don’t think these three are getting along really well.
Dan: (deadpan) Really now, I hadn’t noticed.
Max: That’s why I’m here, to make the smart comments!
Dan just stares at Max for a few moments as his mouth hangs open.
Max: What?
Dan: (Shaking head) Nothing Max, nothing at all…
Ding Ding
The match begins and Royal Knight immediately rushes in to attack Martin Cameron. However, Cameron is just a bit quicker and quickly overcomes RK and knocks him down with a clothesline. RK springs back up to his feet and gets knocked over again, before Cameron hit’s a few stomps before getting Royal Knight with an elbow drop. He drags Royal Knight to his corner and tags in Jokester, causing a relieved look to cover Beno‘s face as Jokesters speech on peace is interrupted.
Max: I’ll be honest, Jokester’s plans make no sense to me.
Dan: You actually try and understand what he says? Why would you do something stupid like that?
Max: Jokester could have some genuinely interesting things to say!
Dan: Or a new fart joke he wants to tell people.
Max: ...Good point. Hey, did you hear that last one? His timing was perfect on it!
Dan: I’ll just take your word for it…
Jokester steps into the ring seeming unhappy for second before RK clips his jaw with a nice jab. Jokester instantly shoves RK back. Rk uses this to his advantage and keeps moving backwards right into his corner where he tags in Dreamer.
Dreamer quickly comes at Jokester and two start trading big punches.
Dreamer gets the upper hand, and Jokester senses its so he suddenly connects with a boot to the stomach and a DDT.
Dan: This isn’t looking good for Royal Knight’s team…
Dreamer still seems very full of energy and doesnt let the DDT keep him down long. He gets back to his feet and shakes his head. Jokester is right there to get back to punches but Dreamer doesnt let that happen. He quickly finds his exit and gets RK back into the ring.
Daniel: Dreamer didnt want anymore of that.
Max: But RK sure does!
RK rushes back into the ring but misses a clothesline. Jokester misses one to, and RK goes for another but again gets ducked. Jokester finally ends the trade by landing his clothesline.
Jokester lays a couple of boots down onto RK as he tries to get up. RK keeps trying to get up but he gets another boot, this time right into his side, it rolls him over closer to the ropes.
Jokester gets him back up to his feet and slams a fist into the side of his head. he then throws him into the turnbuckle by his own team and after running into him with a stiff clothesline he tags in Martin Cameron.
Cameron jumps into the ring and starts firing right hands into the face of RK stifly. RK seems to get the sense knocked back into him for a second and drives his fist into the neck of Cameron.
Daniel: They are going to war tonight!
Max: I am going to chicken tonight....
Daniel: Because those have something in common?
Martin takes a few steps back but then launches forward again, Knight catches him with a kick to the chin and then bounces out to take him down with a clothesline.
Both men are on the mat, RK trying to crawl to his team while Martin reaches up and claps the hand of Jokester.
Jokester gets in fast and runs across the ring followed by a leaping elbow drop onto the back of his downed opponent.
Jokester picks up RK and goes for his ‘Rejected by the Electoral’ but RK seems to catch a second wind and grasps Jokester’s arm. He then uses it as leverage to jump and land a dropkick. RK gets up before Jokester and locks on the Dragon Sleeper! Jokester struggles in the hold for a while before he finally manages to position his body well enough to land a thumb to the eye on RK, forcing him to release the move. RK stumbles back and SSG tags herself in, just as Jokester reaches to tag in Cameron and Blade LaVigne intercepts. Jokester twitches when he reaches the ring apron, as he realizes just what happened. He looks into the ring to see Blade LaVigne in for their side.
Dan: This could turn out bad for their team.
Max: Duh. The LaVignes aren’t exactly known for their skill.
Blade LaVigne walks in ready to fight but totally loses it when he sees SSG gyrating towards him. Over in the corner Martin Cameron is clenching his fist and yelling at Blade to focus, but he’s too far gone. Jokester just hangs his head and seems to be muttering something along the lines of, “it should’ve been me in there”.
Dan: I think Jokester’s regretting tagging his partner in.
Max: And you wouldn’t? His partner is Blade LaVigne. BLADE LAVIGNE. A LaVigne is currently getting more action then him!
Dan: Good point.
RK grins as he notices Blade backing into their corner as SSG advances on him. Blade gets into the corner and hit’s the turnbuckle. Just as he snaps out of it and begins to turn his head to look at the turnbuckle, RK grabs his shoulders and jumps down from the apron, slamming Blade into the turnbuckle hard enough to knock him into a sitting position. SSG suddenly runs at him and hit’s a bronco buster, just as RK tags himself in. He jumps up on the turnbuckle of a neutral corner, and watches as SSG gets off Blade and he slides off of the turnbuckle to lay more or less in the center of the ring. RK clutches for his lucky necklace and almost loses his focus when he realizes it isn’t there, then hit’s The Showdown!
Dan: This has gotta be it!
1...2.…3!
Mina: Here are your winners, the team of Justin Dreamer, Royal Knight, and Super Sexy Girl!
Dan: We got to see a little of their old chemistry and teamwork tonight as these two competitors got lost in the thrill of the fight!
Max: Yes but the question is, what’s gonna happen now.
Justin Dreamer, who just seemed fed up with the whole thing, had already jumped down from the apron and left. Cameron and Jokester had walked away muttering, though on entirely different topics. Blade had rolled out of the ring in pain, leaving only Royal Knight and Super Sexy Girl standing across from each other, facing opposite directions.
A deathly hush fills the arena as all eyes are on the two as they walk away without even looking at each other, both with their heads down and their eyes full of regret.
The cameras go backstage to the locker room where Andrew Xavier is straightening his bow tie. He is standing in the mirror tugging and pulling ever so slightly to try and get it right. Billy Montel suddenly walks up along side him and slaps him hard on the back, completely ruining Andrew’s concentration.
Billy: Wahoo, you ready to go get married boy?
Andrew Xavier angrily pulls his bow tie off, then turns to look at Billy Montel.
Andrew: …Who are you again?
Billy: Billy Jam…Montel. Nice to meet you son. You gots the butterflies?
Andrew: The what?
Billy: The shakes?
Andrew: The… What?
Billy: Boy are you stupid? The shakes in your boots!
Andrew: …The butterflies you mean?
Billy: Well that’s a pretty gay way of putting it but sure.
Andrew: I’m fine…Um, what are you doing in here?
Billy: Just came to wish you luck son, go clean house! Wahoo!
Billy Montel leaves the dressing room as Xavier stands there baffled. TNT goes to commercial break.
TNT returns from commercial with Gunnar Brian standing backstage with Amy White.
Amy: Gunnar, we-
Gunnar suddenly takes the microphone away from Amy.
Gunnar: Look, my match is any second now, so I don’t have a lot of time. I requested this spot to make an interview because I want to address two people. First, Dan Murph. The sMurph himself, Dan, I sincerely hope you no-show tonight’s show, you know, like usual. This is going to be the one you really really want to, because if you do show up Dan, I’m going to do everything in my power to make you regret that decision. I hope for your sake though that you’re smart enough to realize what happened to Main Man last week will happen to you tonight though, so you just turn and run the other direction. We can blame it on whatever you want to blame it on. There’s always something. We can say you got the flu, that you had a doctors appointment, that you were busy, that you had no time to prepare, that you were unhealthy, or whatever other stupid excuse you’ve come up with over the years. Whatever you want Dan, but if you walk out there in a minute’s time, I will destroy you.
Gunnar gives a quick forced smile, then his face turns back dead serious.
Gunnar: I also wanted to quickly speak on how absolutely ridicules this show tonight promises to be. A wedding? Well I’m glad it seems we signed up with the same idea staff the WWE has which require us to have one wedding per year of programming. Since we missed the first year and actually had decent shows I guess we had to cover our asses and have two this year right? This makes me sick, the hype around the wedding makes me sick, and most of all Andrew Xavier, you make me sick. Have a good wedding tonight though regardless, I hope that your head doesn’t split open from the wound I gave you last week and bleed all over Aurora’s dress, that would be tragic.
Gunnar Brian’s head suddenly perks up as he hears music hit the PA system.
Gunnar: That’s my cue.
Gunnar steps off as the camera goes to the ring.
Daniel: We are back folks, ready for one on one action between two monsters
Max: That’s right. Dan Murph is already in the ring, waiting for his opponent to make an appearance
Daniel: Gunnar Brain has become somewhat of a monster himself lately, as he plows his way through the roster
Max: Almost like he’s purifying everyone in the locker room
Daniel: Gunnar Brian takes on Dan Murph, right now!
“The Importance of Being Idle” hits the speakers, as Gunnar Brian pokes his head from the back. He casually makes his way to the ring, eyeballing Dan Murph the entire time. Brian steps through the ring ropes, with a smug smile of self-worth
Daniel: Will Dan Murph be another victim to the one-man-gang of Gunnar Brain?
Max: I don’t know, Dan looks like today could be his lucky day
The bell rings, and Brian instantly hammers away on the bigger man, taking him down. Gunnar fires with extreme lefts and rights, clenched fists and all. The referee pulls Brian back, but he breaks the struggle, firing back on a fetal-Murph. The referee starts his count, before Brian backs away, leaving Dan Murph a heaving mess
Daniel: Have you ever seen anything like that before?
Max: We’re seeing a rampage in Gunnar Brian tonight
Brian stalks his prey, waiting for the bigger man to step up. Murph slowly makes his way back to his feet, not knowing exactly where he is from all the sudden hits. Murph makes it back to his feet, just in time to receive a swift kick to the face by Gunnar Brian
Max: That’s lights out for Murph
Gunnar makes the cover. He doesn’t hook the leg, but rather rests one arm over Murph, looking directly at the referee
One…
Two…
Three…
Mina: Here is your winner… Gunnar Brian!
Gunnar makes it back to his feet, soaking in the glory, as Murph lays out cold
Daniel: Another huge win tonight by Gunnar Brain
Max: Well, I’d say huge in an opponent sense, not from quality of competition
Daniel: Nonetheless, Gunnar Brian continues to pick apart the entire WPW roster
The cameras go backstage to show Andrew Xavier walking down the hallway in his tuxedo. He walks to the divas locker room with a smile on his face.
Daniel: Xavier’s trying to sneak a peek at Aurora’s dress!
Max: BS! He’s probably trying to sneak a peek at Super Sexy Girl changing! This is his last taste of freedom Daniel!
Suddenly Xavier is tapped on the shoulder and almost jumps out of his shoes. He turns around and standing behind him is Beno, in a tux.
Beno: Hey man.
Andrew: …Hey?
Beno: I’m ready.
Andrew: For what…?
Beno: The ring.
Andrew: …What ring?
Beno: Um… You sent me an e-mail asking me to be your best man… I’m supposed to present the rings when the priest asks. You even told me to wear a solid red tie.
Daniel: Is Beno Xavier’s best man?!
Max: …Impossible.
Andrew looks to Beno with a look of disgust and anger on his face.
Andrew: I never e-mailed you!
Beno: Yes you did.
Andrew: No I didn’t.
Beno: Yes you did.
Andrew: No I didn’t.
Beno: Yes you did.
Andrew: No I didn….. Beno look… What e-mail address did I use?
Beno: Ummm… I think it was AndrewXavier@gotcha.net.
Andrew: …Yeah, that’s not my e-mail address. Sorry bud, position is filled…
Andrew pats Beno on the shoulder and walks away. Beno looks to the ground, a few of the crowd begin to “Awwww…” as he then walks away as well, pulling on the corner of the tie and throwing it to the ground. He walks off in the hallway and just as he does a greatly-slimmed down Tina steps into view. Tina grabs the tie and holds it in her hands for a minute.
Tina: You sure that wasn’t too… Mean?
Jokester steps into view.
Jokester: Ha! Are you kidding? It’s Beno, he has no feelings! Besides, my elaborate plan to get a presidential looking tie without paying $39.99 worked beautifully, I didn’t even have to end up jumping Beno after all! Go get Connie and tell her she can let the real best man go now, we got what we wanted!
Tina nods to Jokester and runs off as the camera begins to fade, but then comes back on at the sight of Carlos Gonzalez. Heavy booing throughout the arena.
Carlos: John Ster… Just the man I was looking for.
Jokester: That’s John Oliver Edw…
Carlos: Whatever. I just got a call on your behalf, and I was told by the United States private party overseer that your business idea to make Tina and Connie switch off as Vice President and First Lady will not be acceptable. In fact, the committee has threatened to strike your name from the ballets all together if you do not select a running mate by the first of the year.
Jokester: January 1st?
Carlos: That’s right, the day our lovely Tournament comes to it’s head. I’ve also taken it upon myself to announce a match up for the tournament!
Jokester: Eh?
Carlos: You see, I’m not very happy with Royalty right now, and I’m definitely not happy about two of them being in the semi-finals. So here’s the deal, if you do NOT defeat The Judge next week on TNT, you will be in a fatal four way tag team title number one contendership match at the ToC.
Jokester: …Um, oh no?
Carlos: Sounds bad doesn’t it?
Jokester: …Yes?
Carlos: And your opponents, in one corner will be the newly formed friendship of Sky Ryder and Forsaken, with Vengeance in their corner of course.
Jokester: Okay…
Carlos: In corner number two, tonight’s challengers, David Nicolls and Desmond Troy! And if they win tonight, then that means that at the ToC, a second win will mean they never have to defend the titles against either of the three teams again!
Jokester: Sounds like a good gift for beating Royalty… Can I go now?
Carlos: No! In the third corner representing The Resistance will be Mike Adams and Jamie Parker!
There is silence for a moment, both from Carlos, Jokester, and the crowd.
Jokester: Yay?
Carlos: And last but not least, you Jokester, will be in the final corner with your partner.
Jokester: Who’s my partner? Connie? Tina? Tank? Al Gore? Craig Sinders? Bruno? Crazy Camel Toe?
Carlos: Your partner, will be the man you pick as your vice president. So Jokester, please do choose wisely, or do me one better and win next week, because that way I can place Royalty in that match to fend off the wolves instead. Good luck Jokester.
Carlos walks away from Jokester as Jokester shrugs it off and throws the tie around his neck.
Max: I’m confused.
Daniel: What’s new? Ladies and gentlemen we’ll be right back!
TNT returns from commercial to see a new face walking backstage, a man known as Ryan Patrick Cade. He shakes the hand of a crew member after introducing himself and then turns around to face another man who’s back is to the camera.
Ryan: Hello, Ryan Patrick Cade, new wrestler on the roster, nice to meet you.
The camera pans around to show the unimpressed face of Darian Entreri.
Darian: Hi, Darian Entreri, WPW tour guide, need help finding something?
Ryan: Yeah actually, you know where the food area is here? I didn’t get one of those print outs.
Darian: Sure, it’s right around the corner, through the long stuffy hallway, and straight up your asshole.
Darian walks away from Ryan shaking his head. Ryan watches him go and then just shrugs his shoulders and looks to the crew member.
Ryan: Would it have been to cliché if I said “Sorry, unlike you I don’t eat shit?” Ah well, opportunity lost then.
The cameras go back to ringside.
Daniel: Ladies and gentlemen, next should be a very interesting match up, as Judge and Cassius take on the deadly team of David Nicolls and Desmond Troy.
Max: And don’t forget that the WPW Tag Team Titles are on the line!
Daniel: I was getting to that just now, Max…as Royalty defends there tag team gold!
Max: How great would it be if titles changed hands on free TV. It almost makes wrestling seem more real than it really is.
Daniel: Max! Shhh, there are still ignorant children watching.
Max: *whispers* Oh, sorry…*screams*THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS SANTA CLAUS!!
Mina: The following contest is for the WPW Tag Team Championships!
“Soldiers” by Drowning Pool hit’s the PA.
Mina: Coming out first, at a combined weight of 475 pounds, D&D, David Nicolls and Desmond Troy!
The lights of the arena go out in pitch silence. Then as the drums start, the lights burst back on, and we see Nicolls and Troy halfway down the ramp. They are just walking down, talking to each other, probably about last minute strategy for this upcoming matchup. Nicolls slides into the ring, while Troy walks up the steps. They each go to opposite turnbuckles and step up and try to draw cheers from the crowd, and it gets them really fired up, until…
“Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of The War Drum” by A Perfect Circle
hit’s the PA, turning the fired up crowd into a sea of boos, falling upon two men, the WPW Tag Team Champions, The Judge and former world champion, James Moriarty Cassius!
Mina: And coming out next, they are the WPW Tag Team Champions, The Judge, JMC, ROYALTY!
As the music plays, you can hear a mix of a man whispering “Forgive Me” the whole time, roughly 10 seconds in between each saying. Judge and JMC walk out with their gold around their wastes. They strut down to the ring, not even taking their eyes off of their opponents tonight. They finally crawl into the ring via the middle ropes, and dance around (figuratively.). The Judge and JMC get in their corner, as D&D get in theirs. Both teams are working on a finalized strategy for tonight. Finally JMC steps out, as does Desmond Troy.
Daniel: We are about ready to get underway in what promises to be a fantastic match.
The bell finally rings, and “D&D” Chants begin to fill the arena. Judge and Nicolls stare each other down. D&D are a clear underdog against the Royalty powerhouse, and Judge takes advantage of it. He runs right into Nicolls with a kick to the mid-section, then follows up with punches to the skull of David Nicolls, then wraps DN’s arm around his head, and slams him back, hitting a massive-impact snap-suplex. Judge drags Nicolls over to the corner to a waiting JMC, and a tag is connected. Judge picks up Nicolls, while JMC gets in. Judge is holding Nicolls against the corner, as both men connect with a few boots to the mid-section before Judge is pulled back and forced to leave the ring. JMC pulls Nicolls away from the corner, but out of nowhere Desmond Troy sprints into the ring and tackles JMC, responded with a huge pop from the crowd! But the referee forces Troy back out of the ring, giving Judge and open shot to come into the ring and DDT Nicolls flat to the mat! Judge escapes the ring before being noticed.
Daniel: For a moment there it looked like our referee, who is getting paid all this money to keep matches fair, was going to lose control of this match.
Max: Don’t worry, its all good. He knows what he’s doing.
Daniel: Of course you are only saying that because you seem to love Royalty.
Max: And everything they represent!
JMC gets to his feet after the cheap shot from Desmond Troy. He shakes his head to disallow the blow affect his gameplan. Nicolls is starting to get up, and JMC just aids him, but Nicolls comes out of nowhere and grabs his neck and connects a huge swinging neck breaker!
Daniel: A huge wind hits the ring!
Nicolls is still about 10 feet from tagging in Troy, while JMC is a little closer to his corner. Both men are reaching for their partners. They slowly crawl. Both men are now just out of arms reach of their teammate. JMC makes a dive for Judge just before Nicolls dives for Desmond Troy. Judge runs in at Troy for a clothesline, but Desmond ducks it and throws Judge’s head into the top turnbuckle pad! He turns Judge around and connects with a few closed fists, before throwing him into the ropes. When Judge comes back, Desmond Troy lifts Judge high, and throws him back down in a huge spine buster! He goes for a cover, hoping the impact could knock the wind out of Judge momentarily.
1.…….
2.…….
3.….JMC ruins the pin. David Nicolls runs in to chase JMC out.
Daniel: That could have been it, I don’t think Judge was aware of where he was for those 3 seconds, causing the tag titles to change hands!
JMC slid out of the ring when Nicolls stepped in, and Nicolls leaves to avoid distracting the referee. Troy stands up, but falls back on top of Judge, driving an elbow into his sternum. Troy doesn’t stand up, instead he mounts Judge and begins digging punches into his skull. The ref takes a quick glance to make sure JMC doesn’t rear his ugly head again, then he breaks up the punches, saying closed fists are illegal. Troy gets up, and Judge tries to crawl to his feet and crawl towards his partner, but Desmond Troy grabs his feet and drags him back to his own corner. Judge, laying on his stomach-side, gets a elbow to his back from Desmond. Judge gets rolled over by Troy, and Troy uses his size to pick Judge up, hold him on one side, and slam Judge with a huge sidewalk slam right in the middle of the ring. Troy runs over to knock JMC off the apron to avoid him messing up the count again. He rushes over to cover Judge.
1.…….
2.…….
3...- NO!
Daniel: That second used to knock JMC off the mat must have been all the rest Judge needed.
Max: Yes, but Judge has been getting a pretty decent sized beating, how much more can he handle.
Daniel: Well he is only one counter away from buying enough time to tag in JMC. The problem now is that he is being isolated in one corner.
Desmond Troy really feels like he had that one. He picks Judge up and whips him into the corner where David Nicolls is standing, and Troy tags him in. Before leaving, Troy sets Judge up sitting on the top turnbuckle, climbs up himself, and wraps Judge up for a DDT, but the ref gets there just in time to say Troy is no longer allowed in the ring. He pulls Desmond off the turnbuckle, but David just goes up there himself…he knows what to do. He wraps Judge’s head, but…
Daniel: JUDGE COUNTERS!
A “HOLY SHIT” chant starts as Judge stops Nicolls’ DDT, and instead sends Nicolls going overhead in a Superplex to the outside, off of the turnbuckles!
Daniel: That’s a 9 foot drop, 3 meters!
Max: They never should have made that tag. Momentum was on their side, and they blew it. If they lose it will come back to that brain fart.
Daniel: Strangely enough, I agree Max. And if Judge didn’t have anyone respect before that, he does now.
Nicolls lie motionless, as Judge tries to get to a more comfortable position. JMC has to rush all the way to the other side of the ring to check on his partner, and by the time he can, Troy can anticipate him, and knocks him out of that equation with a clothesline. Troy picks up his partner to roll him back into the ring, and JMC, after his hit, manages to pick Judge up, but instead of rolling him in, he walks him to their corner. Troy reaches over and tags himself in, but JMC and Judge are still on the outside. JMC leans Judge on the apron for a small rest. Then Judge rolls back in and makes a quick tag to JMC.
Daniel: And the match resets, as two relatively fresh men come in.
JMC and Desmond Troy stare each other down, as the match will, in a sense, resets. They lock up, and Troy gains the upper hand first but kneeing JMC in the gut, but JMC counters with a knee of his own. JMC’s wins, as he is able to hit a snap suplex on Troy for one of the first time Desmond Troy has been on defense personally this match. Troy ends in a sitting position, and JMC runs into the ropes and hit’s a dropkick to the back of his head, then goes for a quick cover.
1.…….
2.…….
3.…- That’s not quite enough.
JMC understand he must do more against a very talented and desired Desmond Troy. JMC picks Troy up to his feet, and throws him into the ring, but Troy comes running back with a swinging neck breaker and both men are flattened! Troy ends up near the ropes and uses them to help him to his feet, while JMC just didn’t have much damage done to him. Troy comes in with a kick to the gut of JMC, but JMC just comes back with a devastating DDT.
Max: And that’s what Royalty can do…come from behind and take control
Daniel: He did one move.
Max: One big move.
JMC runs into the ropes, jumps, and rolls as his knee connects Troy’s gut. Desmond cringes in pain, as JMC runs back into the ropes and repeats the move!
Daniel: Ow, Desmond will have trouble walking if his stomach hurts.
Max: If he had a 6 pack like Judge or JMC, then they wouldn’t phase him.
Daniel: Do you hear yourself when you talk?
JMC grabs Troy’s legs as if for the Cassius Sharpshooter, but takes a glance at David Nicolls who seemed very ready to rush. JMC throws Troy’s legs down with authority and runs to try to knock Nicolls down, but Nicolls ducks it and hits an unseen low blow to JMC!
Max: Illegal!!!!
Daniel: Eh…
Cassius falls backwards, probably would be right on top of Troy, but Troy was waiting for it and forces JMC into a rollup in the middle of the ring!
1.…….
2.……
3.……
NO! Judge was there to break it up. Nicolls comes in to try to get Judge out of there, but Judge picks him up, turns, and spinebusters his ass to the mat and Nicolls rolls out of the ring. Desmond tries to get up and go after Judge, but he just kicks him and connects the Judgement DDT just before he rolls out of the ring because the ref was running over to him to kick him out anyway!
Daniel: Judge clears the house!!
Max: This match is as good as over!
JMC is still holding is fallen grapefruits, and Judge was kicked out of the ring before he could drag JMC on top of him. JMC slowly gets over there, but is obviously and rightly in excruciating pain. He finally gets his body on top of Desmond’s for a cover.
1.…….
2.…….
Max: This is it!
3!
Daniel: OH MY GOD! HE KICKED OUT!
Daniel was right, Desmond Troy kicked out with no time left. David Nicolls’ cheap shot gave Troy the time he needed to kick out. The only problem: he is in Royalties corner. JMC slowly gets up and tags Judge in. Judge goes to the top rope!
Max: Does Judge go to the top rope?
Daniel: Not usually.
Judge is standing there, but is unsure if he wants to take this leap of faith. Judge is about to jump, but Nicolls comes up and pushes him off, then jumps down before JMC lays a hand on him! Judge flips forward, missing Troy completely, and Troy has another opportunity for a roll up.
1.…..
2.…..
3.….
Judge had enough to get out of that one again. JMC gives Nicolls a dirty stare as Nicolls got back up to his corner, about as fresh as he can be. Troy slowly gets to his feet, as fatigue starts to rest in on him. He has been the majority of the offense in this match, and the blunt of the blow to the team also. He grabs Judge’s feet and drags him to the middle of the ring, before collapsing himself. But he regains himself just before Judge gets to his feet. A tag is made to Nicolls, who runs over and spears Judge from behind, causing a missed tag and Judge to get forced into the corner right next to JMC. Nicolls doesn’t even look at JMC, he instead picks Judge up to the top turnbuckle.
Daniel: Last time Nicolls had Judge up there it didn’t turn out so well for either man.
Lucky for Judge, JMC was there to slap Nicolls in the face to distract him, then tag himself in. Judge climbs down the back end, and JMC gets into the ring before Nicolls knows what happened. JMC turns David around, jumps, spins, Hurricanrana! JMC actually used his legs to get the big man off his feet!
Daniel: JMC has an opening!
Judge runs in the ring towards Desmond Troy to knock him off the ring, but Troy sees this and grabs Judge, and does a hip toss over the ropes all the way to the ground!
Max: Oh My God, did you see that Daniel!? Desmond Troy just took himself and Judge all the way down to the ground!
Daniel: Indeed. Judge has been getting thrown around all match.
Judge landed flat on his back while Troy landed on his knees. But Desmond does feel some aftermath as he has trouble getting to his feet. In the ring, JMC is just finishing up connecting with that Royal Blood! He goes for a cover…
1.…….
Desmond looks up to see after he hears the refs hand hit the mat.
2.…….
Desmond climbs in, but trips trying to jump up due to his knees.
3.…….
Desmond dives and…
Daniel: He broke it up!
Max: Hold Shit, how the hell did he get there!
Daniel: Pure wrestling instinct, Max.
JMC is on his back after being rolled off by Desmond Troy, and Desmond is slow to his feet. We see Judge on the far side from the camera peeking over, trying to pull himself up. David Nicolls crawls up to his feet via the ropes, JMC is on his feet in the corner. Desmond is facing JMC, and Judge is coming up behind Desmond.
Daniel: Remember, the two legal men are JMC and David Nicolls.
Judge grabs Desmond Troy from behind, turns him around, and connects with the Judgment DDT. David grabs ahold of Judge as he gets up and then throws him between the ropes onto the floor. He turns doesnt fall for the suprise that JMC has for him. He catches JMC'S foot. He spins JMC around and throws an arm out looking for a huge clothesline.
JMC ducks it and connects with a boot to the gut this time, and then tries to start the soliloquy. However David is able to push his way out of it, as JMC hits the ropes and comes back He gets lifted high into the air with a gorilla press!
Max: Jmc is way up high Daniel.
Daniel: He wont be for very long, Davids going to want to let Jmc meet the mat pretty hard.
That does seem to be Davids goal, but he never gets the chance. JMC starts to wriggle quite a bit and actually manages to get out, he slides down the backside of David and before David can really react his arms are behind his back and quickly after hsi face hits mat thanks to JMC's soliloquy!
Daniel: Holy crap!
Max: I think David waited to long.
Daniel: Well thats pretty easy to figure out Max.
Max: Shut up and lets see if this is it.
1....
2.......
3!
JMC rolls off of David as Judge slides back into the ring slowly. They stand and raise hands into the air as the ref gets the titles.
Daniel: And it was enough!
Mina: And your winners and still champions...Judge and JMC....The Royalty!
The cameras swing backstage to a storage room to show Masterful Michael Karver stretching with Jesse Long.
Jesse: So then I told her I was a professional wrestler…
MMK: And she left, right?
Jesse: …Yeah.
MMK: How many times do I have to tell you Jesse, you gotta make sure she’s into wrestling before you tell her you’re a wrestler or you’ll lose the fish.
Jesse: Yeah yeah, I know, but it worked on that one girl. Remember her?
MMK: The one who robbed you?
Jesse: …
MMK: Look Jesse, I gotta get out there, I’ll give you more pointers later, got it?
Jesse just nods as MMK walks off.
Jesse: Pointers… Ha… Like I needed his help in the first place…
The door MMK walked out suddenly swings back open. On the other side of it is not MMK, but rather MVP. MVP walks into the room with a wide grin plastered across his face. He walks right up to Jesse, who is watching him but is yet to say a word. Jesse speaks first.
Jesse: Let me guess, you’ve come in here to wish me luck against you at the ToC, because I’m going to need it, and because MVP is back on his path of dominance and all the other silly crap you do. I get it?
MVP: Nope, you’re wrong. That’s not what I’m here for.
Jesse rolls his eyes.
Jesse: Then pleeeeease tell me Mr. Most Valuable Player, why are you here?
MVP: To do this.
MVP suddenly throws a lightning fast right hook and nails Jesse between the eyes. Jesse falls back into a pile of empty cardboard boxes. He brings his hands up to his face as he shakes his head, taken by surprise and knocked out slightly. MVP leans down and picks up Jesse’s God of Live championship which was sitting on the floor, and straps it around his waist.
MVP: Seems like a good fit…
MVP then smirks and walks out of the storage room with the title around his waist.
Daniel: Hey, that’s Jesse’s belt!
Max: No shit Sherlock.
Daniel: What’s my two most favorite words in the wrestling language, Max?
Max: Bronco Buster?
Daniel: Get outta here. No, I mean ‘grudge match’ and that’s what we got up next! ‘Masterful’ Michael Karver versus Hardcore Champion and Florida State Title number one contender, 2!
Max: How did this one come about, Daniel?
Daniel: It’s a quarter final match in the Tournament of Champions. Karver (chuckle chuckle) CARVED up Mike Foxx in round two to move forward and face 2 who is at this stage courtesy of his victory over Dan Murph a few weeks back. Silence for Mina Henderson!
Mina: This next match is a third round Tournament of Champions match and is between, approaching the ring at a weight of 190lbs and hailing from Saint Paul, Minnesota, the WPW Hardcore Champion, Twoooooooo!!!!!!!!
Papa Roach’s ‘Walking through Barbed Wire’ rumbles across the PA as 2 walks out slowly from behind the curtain. He comes down the ramp, hands in pockets, ignoring any outstretched hands from disabled kids, competition winners and business guys with the right connections to obtain a ringside seat. He gets in the ring, goes to the second turnbuckle, grabs the top rope and glares at the crowd. He repeats this conceit at the opposite turnbuckle and the boos increase.
Mina: His opponent, weighing in at 215lbs and hailing from Venice Beach California, currently residing in Orlando Florida, he is the winner of the first ever Tournament of Champions, Masterful…….Michael…….Karver!!!!
There is a short burst of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin before Karver emerges in a particularly colorful robe. He carries a mic and gestures for the crowd to hush and his music to be cut. He speaks:
Hey, 2! A coupl’a weeks back, I made a challenge…….a challenge you did not show the respect of a reply. Let me remind you. Let me remind the fans out here. Roll the tape guys!
Quote from TNT 11/21/07
Quote:
Karver turns to the camera.
Quote:
Quote:
Karver: 2, study my tapes, watch my matches, and prepare for me because I guarantee when it’s all said and done, and we square off in the ring, you’ll wish you had. Oh yes 2, Mr. Hardcore, I’m throwing a challenge up there for WHEN our match happens, not if, we make it a submission match. Get back to me, or better yet get back to SiNN, he has nothing better to do. C’mon wheels.
Masterful Michael Karver walks off as the camera pans to SiNN looking confused in his chair.
Karver:There ya go. Now what have I heard from 2 since that episode of TNT three weeks ago? Nada…..Nothing…….A big fat zero. What does that tell me? It tells me that 2 is scared. Scared that his limitations will be exposed. Scared that he will be beaten.
Now Michael Karver is not scared….. the masterful WPW fans are not scared…..Carlos Gonzalez is not scared. He has decreed that this match will indeed be a submission match.
2 looks to referee Todd Franklin for confirmation. Franklin nods his head and shrugs his shoulders as if to say ‘What can I do? Carlos is the boss’ Karver throws down the mic and runs to the ring, discarding his robe as he does so. He slides under the bottom rope and starts raining blows down on 2 before he can position himself for defense. The bell rings.
Ding Ding
Daniel: Well, that’s a surprise for 2 and for the rest of us. This match will be decided by the first submission which will tip it in favor of Karver, surely.
Max: Not so fast, Daniel. 2 can do a lot of damage with his 2Tapornot2 move. I reckon he’s still the favorite.
Karver makes that prediction look a little unlikely as he lands an early Falcon Aaron sit-out suplex to weaken his opponent. 2 winces as he lands but rises and throws some Muay Thai Elbow strikes as he buys time to think out a strategy.
Karver doesn’t plan to get involved in 2’s agenda however and grabs the smaller 2 in a Bear hug which he turns into a Belly to Belly Suplex, keeping 2’s arm as he lands and twisting it high up his back. He lifts 2 up with this arm then drops him straight back to the mat…..once….twice……three times.
Daniel: You do not hang around this business for as long as Karver and not learn a thing or two.
Max: Pun intended, I imagine. Come on 2! Where’s those street smarts that have got you this far in WPW?
Daniel: Street smarts? 2 was educated in the best prep school in Minnesota and turned down a place at Harvard just to pursue his chosen career in Sports Entertainment.
Max: Minnesota’s got streets. 2’s a brotha from the ‘hood.
Daniel: The only hood 2 knows is ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ that his governess used to read him in bed every night.
Karver continues his offensive with punishing forearms to 2’s back, some bruising beginning to appear at his lower ribs. Karver goes for a Regal Stretch to force a tap out. Todd Franklin drops to his knees and asks 2 the question.
2 shakes his head as best he can and tries to reach for the bottom rope. Karver puls him back a little, but loosens his grip slightly and this allows 2 to lunge for the rope, forcing Franklin to call for a break. Karver releases, furious at himself for having allowed the escape.
The two men get to their feet and Karver advances but is drop toe held and bounces on the top rope. 2 grabs his tights and pulls him back into a Schoolboy, looking up at Franklin to count. Franklin shakes his head and mouths the word ‘Submission’ to 2. He releases and gets a Back Elbow in his mouth before he can move away from Karver. They rise again and move in for a clinch but Karver goes for a Single Leg Takedown then turns 2 into a Single Leg Boston Crab but 2 plants his free leg in Karver’s leg and thrusts him away. Karver goes between the top two ropes, just stopping himself exiting, but 2 gets in a quick standing drop kick and Karver goes to the ring surround. 2 skips up to the top rope and launches a Number 2 Special – a Flying leg drop – landing on Karver before he can get to his feet on the outside. Todd Franklin starts to count as the two men slowly recover from 2’s risky effort.
Daniel: Wow! 2 makes up his mind to throw caution to the winds and even up this contest.
Max: Yay! That’s my boy! Eat number twos Karver!
Todd Franklin counts both men on the outside. He gets to seven…..
Daniel: Oooh, this could be interesting. Perhaps both men will be counted out and JMC will get an automatic bye into the final.
Max: JMC or 2. Either way, it’s good. Judge’ll beat Jokester then we got the dream final we want for the Tournament of Champions.
Daniel: Well, I’m still hoping for Karver versus Jokester in the final. Let’s keep Royalty out of it and we should see a classic contest……has Todd not got to ten yet?
Max: 9.9999999999, Daniel and ooooooooh! Both men just get back in the ring in time. Who could have seen that coming?
Both men do indeed roll under the bottom rope just in time.
Karver is again just too quick for 2 and GFE’s him to the mat with a chicken wing front face stunner. He goes to pick him up but is distracted by the arrival ringside of his girlfriend, Calyn, who stands ringside pointing at her watch. Karver speads his hands wide to say ‘I’m in the middle of something’ 2 spots that Todd Franklin is looking down Calyn’s cleavage so takes the opportunity to low blow Karver between the legs. Calyn winces and Franklin turns back to see Karver on one knee and 2 hitting him with a Shining Wizard then twisting his legs into a Jailhouse Lock.
Max: Big Elvis hit in Japan, that move.
Daniel: That’s a disgraceful gag to make, Max.
Max: What gag? The grapevine lock. ‘I heard it through the grapevine’
Daniel: Max. First of all, that’s a Jailhouse lock. Second of all, Marvin Gaye had the hit with ‘I heard it through the grapevine’
Max: Oh. Me so solly.
Daniel: Apologies to our…….tens of Japanese viewers out there. Max will be reprimanded, rest assured.
Karver seems ready to tap, his ageing bones seeming to be at breaking point. Todd Franklin bends to ask the question…….but is grabbed by Karver. Franklin goes off balance, bumps into 2 and causes him to release the hold. 2 looks very pissed at Franklin who apologizes but does not appease 2. Karver hauls himself over to the ropes where he clings on while exchanging words with Calyn. She folds her arms and looks unhappy while Karver responds with a gesture presumably meaning ‘two minutes’.
2 charges but Karver sees him coming, pulls the ropes down and 2 flies over the top rope to land on Calyn Gilbert ringside. Karver thinks about going through the ropes but stays put when he hears Franklin start a ten count. 2 is a little groggy and slow to get back in the ring. Calyn restrains him a little and he puts a firm hand on her breast while trying to push himself back up.
Amanda Rhyme’s music hits.
Max: Oooh! This should be interesting! I thought it was Karver and Gilbert who had the tempestuous relationship.
Daniel: I think we all thought that, Max.
Amanda gets ringside to see 2 still with his hand on Calyn’s right tit. Amanda looks accusingly at him and he snatches it away. Calyn grabs his hand and puts it right back where it was. Amanda launches herself and grabs handfuls of Calyn’s hair. Calyn responds in kind.
Daniel: I don’t think that’s a standard Gracie Ju-Jitsu move.
Todd Franklin reaches nine as 2 rolls back in the ring. Karver plants two swift kicks in his ribs but 2 grabs his ankle and twists him to the mat. He rises in a clinch but immediately drops to his knee and grapevines Karver's leg going for a 2Tapornot2. Karver looks in trouble but uses his greater strength to kick clear and they both get up. 2 comes at Karver with a series of Muay Thai Elbow Strikes which Karver counters with a forearm block and some kicks to 2’s lower legs. 2 goes for a clinch again but Karver takes him down to the mat and gains control with a Body Scissors. He applies a Dragon Sleeper.
Daniel: That’s Karver’s ‘Red Eye’! 2 will have to tap or pass out!
Karver keeps this on for ten….twenty seconds while the two women fight on the outside, barely restrained by two security guys.
2 looks around for any respite but the ropes are feet away and Todd Franklin is wary of getting too close. 2 seems to try to shout something to Amanda but the capillaries in his eyes engorge…………
He taps.
Ding Ding.
Mina: The winner of this contest, by submission…….Masterful….. Michael….. Karver!
At this sound, Calyn stops fighting with Amanda and rolls into the ring where she plants a huge kiss on Karver’s wrinkled face. He breaks into a huge grin and kisses Calyn right back. Amanda looks horrified on the outside. She mouths ‘Sorry’ at 2 as he shakes his head, trying to get the blood flowing in the right direction once more.
Daniel: Well!!! Do you think this strategy was planned from the start?
Karver goes to his robe being offered by the timekeeper. He pulls out a platinum credit card – I don’t mean platinum colored – I mean platinum – and pretends to swipe it between Calyn’s cleavage. Calyn grins stupidly and they resume kissing.
Max: Now that’s true love that you rarely see – between a girl and her man’s credit card.
Daniel: A touching scene indeed. That has to go down as a major upset though. All the tipsters had 2 down as the man to progress despite Karver’s pedigree.
Max: Karver doesn’t do the pedigree. You’re thinking of Triple H.
Daniel: Time to move on.
Backstage Andrew Xavier is seen walking toward the ring, adjusting the wrists of his jacket.
Max: Oh my God, you know what’s coming next Daniel!
Daniel: Yeah yeah, Andrew Xavier is getting married to Aurora Castillo.
Max: This will be a great moment in WPW!
Daniel: …I bet. Regardless, it’s NEXT!
Daniel: Well it's always a great moment when sopmeone gets married, isn't it? Even more special when it happens inside the ring!
Max: Indeed it is special. Wait, isn't this like the Third time in WPW alone?
Daniel: second
Max: Oh
Daniel: Well, before we get this show going, I guess we'd better.
???: Wait wait wait!
The Cameras move from Max and Daniel over to the interruptor of the event!
Daneil: Carlos?
Max: Perhaps HE wants to Marry Xavier instead!
Carlos: Now Look, I'm sure you were all interested to see this at home, after all, it's another brillaint piece of booking by Carlos Gonzales. But I'm afraid that I have to come out here to tell you all that The Wedding will not happen right now!
Max: Awww!
Daniel: Why's that?
Carlos: And don't start Booing. Have you Ever actually been to a Wedding? They're ALWAYS late! One of the bridesmaid twists an ankle. Traffic is awful, The Priest can't be found... It's hell, which is pretty much forboding fo the marriage afterwards.
Max: Ha! So True!
Carlos: So with everything going late and to Hell, The Wedding will not happen right now. It will happen once the Show is Over. After Scorch Vs. Mike Corral.. And It will not be availaible on TNT's Broadcast, but as a special event on the WPW Website, which I am sure you all know the address by now! And if not.. Guess!
So for now, don't worry, someone will most likely be married by the end of the night.. Just not now! Cut to The interview!
Carlos exeunts from the arena, moving swiftly through the doors.
Daniel: Well, there you have it, The Callisto-Xavier Wedding will be after the Main Event and exclusively on WPW's Website! Sounds like something well worth watching!
The cameras go backstage.
Amy: Well while that mess gets cleaned up, we are standing here tonight with the WPW Heavyweight Champion, and possibly for the last night once again, Scorch. Scorch, you seem like you’ve been distracted lately, and Corral is at the absolute top of his game. How do you respond to those believing he’ll be taking your title tonight?
Scorch: That they might be right…
Amy: Excuse me?
Scorch: This week Mike Corral showed he has a passion for this business and finally, finally that he has a passion for this title. After years of being unmotivated he was given one shot, possibly the only one he’d ever see, and he wants to make the most out of it. It only took us, what, three tries to find someone who would do that? To those who doubt me I say this, watch my match and if I lose you can tell your friends I told you so. To those who stand by my side, do the same if I win. What I’m trying to say Amy is there will always be people who doubt me, always be people who say I don’t deserve to be where I am, lord knows there were plenty who said I’d never make it in the first place. Point is it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, it doesn’t matter what anyone says. I am where I am for a reason, and if for any reason that ends right here tonight, then it will be for a reason as well. So thanks for the interview time, but I have a title to defend. If you’ll excuse me…
Daniel: Mike Corral vs. Scorch, WPW Championship, NEXT!
Scorch takes his leave and TNT goes to commercial break.
The Scene opens up on 2, untaping his wrists after his loss to MMK earlier in the show. Suddenly and rather unexpectedly enters James Moriarty Cassius, changed from his wrestling clothes and in his usual suit and T Shirt Combo.
JMC: All goes well in the world of 2?
2: Well, its had its rough patches and its smooth spots. One of either could be coming up right now depending on what the fuck you want James.
JMC: Oh I want many things, Power, Domination, Respect, a world title to add to my Tag Team title. But, of course, you knew that because you want them as well.
2: I just want first place. That’s more of a search for meaning than belongings, its not my fault no one can hold onto titles when they get into the ring with me
JMC: Oh how true. I seem to have the exact problem. But that's just the tip of an iceberg when it comes to our similarities.
2: Why are you here!?
JMC: You want to be first place? Then i can offer you a vehicle that will send you to the stars faster than you imagined possible. You WILL be first, you will be everything you want to be.. Because You will be Royal. First in line to the Throne.
2: .....Sounds like I’m being offered second place there, Prince.
JMC: I am offering you Royalty to make your dreams come true. You are being offered the Place of The King! The People’s King is vacant and we, The Knight, Judge and Prince, all want you to have it as your own! Tell me, Oh knower of all our ranks, what is above King but God?
2 merely looks at JMC, thought on his mind
JMC: Take what you want from life, leave the bodies to be counted.
2: Sad you won’t be added to my pile of bodies next week, Prince of Cats. Now get out....
JMC: (Grinning) Oh, as you wish... But a word of advise, when the Angel and the Devil appear on your shoulders, remember that you spent a year of your Life listening to the Gospel from the person you managed. Perhaps the devil has something useful to say. And as I said at the beginning of the show, I am here to get you.
2 seems deep in thought as JMC leaves his locker room
Daniel: It wasn’t Scorch they were talking about getting at the beginning of the show! It was 2!
Max: And they weren’t talking about beating him up, they want a Fourth Member of Royalty! “Getting him”!
Daniel: Well speaking of Scorch, we’re ready to go in the Main Event!
Daniel: Well, after an exciting time in the rest of the show, we all know what we come to now!
Max: What do we come to?
Daniel: The Main Event! And not just any normal main event... We are here to perform a WPW Title match, and one much anticipated on none the less. It seems under two months ago that Scorch made the public declaration that he would offer WPW title shots to whoever could best him in a quick singles match. So far there have been two challengers, First off, Gunnar Brian became Scorch’s first Challenger where the two fought at HalloWicked, the Halloween TNT. Then, of course as you would remember, he faced off against Martin Cameron. Both of which he won, not to mention the Open challenges where he beat someone at the first hurdle.
Max: You mean Andrew Xavier?
Daniel: I do! And let’s not forget that scorch has faced off against worse threats before and come out on top.
Max: And Mike Corral has kept himself busy.
Daniel: Indeed, ever since the ToC started he has had a fire lit under him, not even dampened by the fact he went out in the first round to Michael Karver. He kept that feud up showing he could go as many rounds as the veteran and seemed only to fault in his relative inexperience. However he’s taken a crash source in that area ever since and this week, gets his shot at the big one!
Max: And here he comes!
RRRRRRREACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH!!!!!!!
Literally exploding out of the Entrance way is Mike “The Saint” Corral. He runs right up to the crowd and begins throwing all his emotions right at him, the blue lights flickering. The crowd responds too. Mike remains there before slowly moving down the ring.
Daniel: The crowd realises they’re in for something special today and are responding in kind!
Max: What are they seeing?
Daniel: History, Max! they could quite possibly see the fourth ever WPW champion be decided in one foul swoop! Joining the names like James Moriarty Cassius and The One!
Mina: Coming to the ring first, From San Diego, California and weighing in at 243 pounds... He is Mike “The Saint” Corral!!
Max: JMC, One.. And Scorch! He’s a former WPW champion!
Daniel: Now you’re getting a little too far ahead of yourself, aren’t you? He is still our champion and there’s not a damn thing you can say to change that.
Max: He could. Corral could!
“Blisters and Coffee” by The Classic Crime starts to emanate through the speakers. The Crowd once again pops, louder than for Corral.
Mina: And His Opponent! From Tinley Park, Illinois... He Is the WPW World Champion... The Three Second Sensation... Scorch!
Scorch moves past the fans, holding his WPW title belt right to his shoulders. He moves past, giving some fans a few high fives and such. But still looking over at the ring, and of course, at Mike Corral! Corral looks back as well, it’s hard to tell who had more dedication in their eyes. Scorch concentrates on Corral and moves into the ring... Where he is suddenly attacked by Mike Corral!
Daniel: Whoa! Not at all Like The Saint to do such a thing, is it?
Max: Absolutely Power Corrupts Aluminium.. or something.
Daniel: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely?
Max: Yeah, Yeah!
Daniel: Despite the illiteracy, he brings up a point. Corral is possibly drunk on the idea of being our WPW champion that he’s doing away with any niceties! He wants that belt and now Scorch knows how much!
The WPW title falls from Scorch’s shoulder and skids across the ring. Referee Chris Kay is quick to snatch the title belt away from the ring and pass it to the outside, taking it away as a possible weapon. Corral has placed Scorch’s head down on the ropes after he was stunned by a knee to the face, he now places him carefully in the 619 position. Then places his knee on the back of Scorch’s neck and pushes. For a while Chris Kay doesn’t notice either as he is distracted with getting rid of the belt, but he does turn around and sees what is occurring.
Max: Look behind you. The Power Corrupter is taking advantage of the gap in concentration!
The referee does turn and immediately admonishes Corral, who breaks the hold. Scorch gets to his feet, coughing as he does before straightening up. Chris Kay is keeping it all under control, moving Mike Corral Backwards to let Scorch get to his feet and ready to start this match. Kay keeps Corral back.. but as he seems to finish doing so, scorch leaps over him and right onto Mike Corral, landing on him mounted and taking it right to him with a series of punches!
Daniel: Justice is pretty sweet it would seem, Max! Scorch is doing exactly hat Mike Corral did!
Max: The referee is going crazy, just to get the damn match started! Can’t even get the “Ding, Ding” done.
Scorch jumps up and moves back From Mike Corral, who had covered up from the beating. Scorch is willing to be guided, but remains with his face towards Corral, ready and waiting for him. Corral gets up and Referee Chris Kay pulls them in, signalling for the bell
*Ding, Ding*
Max: Finally, we have ourselves a title match!
Daniel: Corral tried to get the drop on Scorch but from here on in, it’s even footing.
The two superstars approach each other like cats, reproachful and ready for any attack. They jump at each other and hit a lockup together. Corral pulls down on Scorch hard which causes him to have the Advantage. But Scorch rolls with it and instead of fighting the push down, embraces it, slips out of it and now has Corral’s arm behind his back. Corral turns but Scorch has the arm locked outwards. Corral however flips over himself and now his arm is in a normal position and Scorch’s has twisted up. Corral then slams on the brakes and tries to force the hammerlock onto the WPW Champ but Scorch reverses it the same way. Corral launches a clothesline before Scorch can Flip. Scorch receives the blow right to the Chest, releasing Corral’s arm.
Daniel: Corral getting a quick advantage here, twisting around the WPW champion.
Max: Reminding me of slinkies really.
Corral charges at the ropes while scorch remains on the floor. He returns and flips over himself, Senton Splashing onto.. nothing! Scorch rolls out of the way and gets to his feet. As Does Corral. However Corral faces the wrong way and is exposed. Scorch takes h chance and jumps on Corral’s back, hitting his opponent with a backbreaker, digging his knees into the kidney area. Corral Collapses backwards onto Scorch and then bounces like a springboard off of his legs. Scorch moves over and instinctively goes for a pinfall.
Max: First pinfall of the match. I’ve got my money on it getting to one and not to two.
Daniel: Is there anything that you won’t bet on?
Chris Kay slides down and starts the pinfall
1.........
Kickout by Corral!
Max: See?
Daniel: That was hardly a good bet, almost every fist pinfall doesn’t get beyond a 2.
Max: It did last week in Scorch vs. Corral..
Corral shoots his arms up once eh gets a chance and locks on to Scorch’s neck. Scorch seems surprised by this move, as Corral is still under him, not in a dominant position. But Corral seems determined, using everything he has to choke out the champ. Scorch tries to break it, but he is on all fours and having to Support the Weight of Corral too!
Daniel: Corral is using a very, very odd move there. He is Under scorch but is trying to be in control with that chokehold!
Max: Why’s that bad?
Daniel: Well it’s better to be on top in those situations, you can control.
Max: But Corral has the opposite effect. Scorch is trying to get up.. but he can’t he’s got pretty good Control as it is!
Corral moves closer to Scorch, placing more pressure on him. Scorch tries to reach out and grab the ropes but they are too far. He may have to drag Corral over to the ropes himself. H tries, getting closer and closer. But corral starts squirming, disrupting scorch’s movement.
Max: The Weirdest chokehold in WPW might have claimed its first victim! Tapping Time!
Daniel: Scorch sadly doesn’t tap.. ever. He prefers to pass out rather than lose willingly. Brave, but probably the reason he gets an injury and has to retire when he’s 40.
Max: Corral might retire him now!
But as soon as those words leave Max’s mouth.. Scorch does something quite smart. He drops down, deciding not to support Corral’s weight any longer. As soon as he Does, he lands right on Corral, who still has the submission move locked in. Corral is right under Scorch.. with his two shoulders against the mat!
Daniel: It’s a pinfall attempt! Scorch has just dropped down to make this a pinfall!
1......................
2......
Corral Releases his hold on Scorch, throwing him off him in the process.
Daniel: We have just seen the ingenuity of Scorch, Able to find his way out of anything.
Max: Either that or he collapses and accidentally landed on him.
Daniel: I’m going for the former rather than the latter. But it’s the second choke that Corral has placed on Scorch, something very odd for a high flier.
Corral gets to his feet and goes to stomp on Scorch but the WPW champ caches his foot and twists. Corral corkscrews and falls to the ground near Scorch. Scorch uses his time effectively and begins to stand. Moving towards the ropes while hitting his chests and massaging his neck.
Daniel: Scorch’s neck might be the focus of Corral.
Scorch looks over and Mike Corral is up. He runs over at him, and so does Mike. The two jump at the same time and throw standing dropkicks at one another, which both miss , the sail right over one another and the crowd pops of the simple silliness of this move. Scorch is the first one up and this time goes for a baseball slide which hits corral right in the back. Corral is down and Scorch smiles to himself, looking over at the spot where the missing dropkicks happened.
Daniel: No time for reminiscing now, Scorch, you’ve finally gotten the advantage!
Max: You gotta admit, I don’t think I’ve seen any move like that in a long time, two dropkicks that just sail over one another!
Scorch whips Corral at the ropes. Scorch then readies himself for the returns,. But Corral throws a heel kick out at him. The WPW champ ducks successfully and corral Continues. Scorch moves back to the ropes and waits, Corral charges again and throws another leg right up, aiming to clear Corral over the ropes. Corral hits the kick again, but misses, and lands on the ropes, one leg either side! An “oooohhh” escapes the crowd as they feel for how Corral landed, especially the men. Scorch then Dropkicksaults Corral and sends him flying from the ring!
Daniel: Scorch is showing the one big disadvantage of Mike Corral, his inexperience. It’s what cost Corral his wins over Mike Karver. You could just see Scorch lay out that pan, and Corral went in head first!
Scorch runs backwards against the ropes and watches Mike Corral lying on the ground. Eventually Mike begins to show signs that he is not actually dead and stands. Max starts yelling about how he should stay down but Corral can’t hear him due to the fact he’s an announcer and only we can do so. Scorch then launches himself up and over the ropes, jumping and cross bodying Mike Corral, landing with a disturbing splat, but they keep rolling, hitting the barricade together and moving it back two feet!
Crowd: Holy Shit!
Max: The crowd have got to be saying that. They just got in on the action! And lost two feet of room when they slammed into the barricade!
Scorch slowly gains his footing and looks over at Corral, there are still some fans near the break in the barricade that are helping Scorch up to his feet, slapping him on the back to congratulate him. They then push Scorch forwards and The Three Second Sensation enters the fray once more. He hoists up Corral and moves back, coming at him with an effective stiff Clothesline that slams Corral’s head against the ground outside. It does not look pleasant and the crowd knows it. Scorch moves over and begins to pick up Corral from his place on the ground. Scorch eventually succeeds and moves him to go back to the ring. But Corral suddenly panics, he sees that they are going close to the ring post, something Scorch could slam his head against. Corral jumps and throws scorch right at it. But Scorch reverses it and inadvertently rams Corral right into the unforgiving metal post!
The crowd , a large amount of them start to boo!
Daniel: Wait, this is amazing! They are actually booing Scorch slightly.
Max: He just cheated!
Daniel: I doubt it was on purpose, just a series of random and unfortunate events. But still, the fans Booing Scorch! Why? I’ll tell you
Max:.. I knew you would
Daniel: (Not even pausing for the interruption) It’s because, I think, that the WPW fans want to see something special this week, they want to see a new Champion, and what a way it would be to end the year, Mike Corral, no one would have given him a chance in holy hell.
Scorch has been told off by the referee, but he is still in the match without disqualification occurring. He throws Mike corral into the ring, and the count out, that was on about eight, stops. Scorch also climbs onto the apron. He moves over to the ropes and looks over at the deadly but bruised Challenger to his title. Scorch then climbs up to the top rope of the turnbuckle and the crowd voices their cheers, their slight boos as well.
Max: What’s Scorch’s Top Rope move?
Daniel: This is the third time, the Firebomb!
Max: Oh My God, Scorch is going for the Firebomb! That’s the move where he....
....
Daniel: (with no emotion) That’s the move where he jumps and connects onto his opponent with both his elbows and his knees. Very Deadly.
Max: Insanely Deadly!!
Scorch jumps outwards, sailing through the air and landing right on Mike Corral! Corral shudders under the impact of the manoeuvre! Scorch falls onto his own back, holding one of his knees. He then gingerly moves over and hooks Corral’s leg!
1..............................
2.................................
THREE..................... NO!
Mike Corral Kicks out in the nick of Time!
Daniel: Holy Crap, I did not expect that to happen! He kicked out of the Firebomb!
Scorch lies on his own back next to Corral, both of their chests moving up and down as they stare at the lights. Scorch begins to roll over and get to his feet. Corral as well. Corral looks over and sees scorch on his knees and throws a desperation punch at him. It Connects and scorch teeters back on his legs. Scorch then returns with another punch exactly the same, Corral falls down but comes back up and punches scorch. Scorch does the same again, and suddenly out of nowhere Corral jumps from his knees and dropkicks the side of Scorch’s face. Scorch hits the mat hard and flips over himself!
Max: Whoa!
Corral falls back, exhausted by this effort. Scorch is face first on the mat. The referee begins a count!
1......
2......
3......
4.....
Daniel: If this match ends by Count out, Scorch Retains to fight another day!
5.....
6..... Corral begins to move, climbing up the ropes to his feet.
Scorch begins to move as well. Getting to his feet quicker.
7.....
They are both now up, Corral leaning on the ropes, holding his midsection. Scorch moves over and takes Corral away. Scorch slams his elbow into Corral’s Midsection and causes corral to double over. Scorch then twists him over, snapmaring him to the ground. Scorch then Takes a boot and kicks Corral in the back, laying him down. Scorch then drops an elbow but Corral rolls away, holding his back. Scorch isn’t giving up and is like a cat with a mouse, not letting it escape. Scorch continues to attack and a knee to the gut doubles Corral over. Scorch hooks an arm around Corral’s neck and then another into his. Scorch then yells to the crowd who pop greatly... But as he lifts, He is blocked by a leg around his own by Corral. Scorch fidgets and releases the leg... But is lifted up himself into.... The Triple X!
Daniel: Th...
There is silence in an entire arena as they realise that Corral has hit his own finisher against Scorch! It seems even the move against the mat was silent as well, even it is shocked at what it sees. Corral sits up and looks over at Scorch, his eyes go wide as he realises what has happened, what fate has caused! Corral scurries over and hooks the leg of Scorch...
1...................
2......................
THREE!!!
....
No! Scorch has his foot on the ropes! Referee Chris Kay si aware of this and does not Call for the bell, despite the three count!
The Crowd suddenly seems to scream, their voices returning to them after the Shock of what almost transpired.
Daniel: My.. My God! We almost had the ending to our WPW title match right here. And did ... did you see the absolute amazement on everyone! Corral all but had the title won!
Corral looks to the heavens and buries his face inside his hands. But then another cheer begins to sweep the stadium. The fans are Cheering his name, telling him to keep on Going. Corral looks over at them, raising his face from his palms. He nods slowly, realising what they need. He moves over and picks up Scorch and brings him to the centre of the ring. Corral then yells at the fans before bringing an elbow down on Scorch’s head. He then Throws Scorch, who is only just on his feet, into a turnbuckle.
Daniel: The God Bless You! And don’t put in a sneezing joke.
Max: I wasn’t I’ve been silent ever since Corral finished off Scorch, it’s insane!
Daniel: Well be prepared again, the God Bless You is a huge finisher.
Corral grabs Scorch, whose arms are limp and places him oddly on the top Rope. Corral then jumps up and decides to hit him with several punches. Corral then turns around and grabs scorch, ready to hit him with the God Bless You. But as Corral spins. Scorch jumps up, he places his feet on the ropes and jumps around, spinning as he does. Scorch grabs the arm of Corral and brings it down in.. The Ignitor!
Daniel: Oh my God!
Max: Scorch is....
Scorch falls over and drapes an arm across Corral.
Daniel: Pinfall!
Max: Holy Crap!
1............................
2.............................
...............
THREE!!!!!!
Yes! Three!
*Ding Ding*
Max: Holy Crap again!
Daniel: We’ve just seen the ending of our match and.. by God wasn’t it good! I doubt Mike Corral will ever be the same after this match!
Max: I mean.. It was... Well it...
Daniel: I know how you feel, Max!
Scorch falls out of the ring and to the ground, not moving from where eh fell. Corral is still in the ring as well. Not moving.
Daniel: This match has taken it out of both competitors and now, Scorch retains his belt in the greatest Fashion... I mean, my God, I can’t wait for the Tournament of Champions Pay Per View! Who will be challenging him for his title? Will it be The Jokester, The Judge, “Masterful” Michael Karver or James Moriarty Cassius?
Max: Tune in next week and we are going to find out who!

From WPW's Website
We open to a wide shot of the arena. The ring has been modified with flowers lining the ropes, and a red carpet has been placed over the canvas. Around the ring we see petals scattered on the mats, and in the very center of the ring there is a large, wooden, white arc. Between the arc stands a priest, bible in hand, dressed. The lighting has been dimmed around the ring and bright lights focus on the arc to make it the main focus. The cameras cut to the stage where a spotlight hits at the top of the ramp and standing there is a man dressed in a suit with a microphone in hand.
Commentator: Oh my God, thats...Thats Ryan King, the former owner of New Age Championship Wrestling! He's the man who introduced Aurora and Andrew, hes the man that pretty much brought Andrew into the wrestling industry!
Commentator: What about a burger king?
Ryan King: Ladies and Gentleman of WPW and the world over, I welcome you all to what well forever be known as the greatest wedding of all time and the coming together of two of the most amazing people on this planet. Tonight we will all bare witness to the joining in holy matrimony of WPW Superstar Andrew Xavier, and his long time Manager and Girlfriend Aurora Callisto. For almost two years now we have seen the two young stars bonding and growing with each other and now the moment has finally come for them to express their love and emotions publicly and join together as a married couple. Ladies and Gentleman it gives me great honor and privilege to announce the entry of this man, for years he has been idolised in my eyes, he is a true king of the wrestling ring, and the future and present of this company, if not the industry. Ladies and Gentleman I give to you the groom....Andrew Xavier!!!!
The lights change so that all the spotlights are focused on the entrance way as "No More Sorrow" by Linkin Park begins to blare through the speakers. There is no pyrotechnics but Andrew Xavier stands on the stage with his head down until the right moment in the song that he flicks his head back. As Andrew does so we see a huge smile spread across his face and a twinkle in his eyes. He is dressed fully in a black tuxedo and his hair has been perfectly tied back into place. Before he walks down the ramp he walks over to Ryan and hugs him tightly, we see him saying thank you as he steps back. As he walks down the ramp he greets the fans, then he stops as he reaches the ring and looks up at the setting before him. He takes a deep breath before sliding under the ropes and into the ring to join the priest under the arc. He greets the priest with a handshake then stands back to look up towards the ramp, awaiting Aurora.
Ryan King: What a great man he is, and behind every great man there lies a great woman. A Woman so intelligent, a woman so beautiful, so kind, so angelic. Behind every great man is a woman he loves, and a woman who loves him in return. Andrew has found that woman who will stand by his side for the rest of his life. This woman is the most amazing, the most honest, and by far the most beautiful young lady I have ever met in my life. I feel so incredibly lucky that I have brought both of you together and I take great pride in announcing to the world this. The Bride and soon to be Mrs. Xavier....Aurora Callisto!!!!
The crowd get to their feet as the wedding march begins to play throughout the arena. Andrew stands in the ring, the huge smile still across his face, as he stares up towards the entrance ramp. Then the beauty of Aurora Callisto graces our screen as she walks out from behind the curtain. Her white dress is gleaming in the light and she looks like an angel floating towards the ring. Her veil hangs over her face shrouding her gorgeous eyes, but the shine of her bright white smile shines through and in her hand she carries a small, white bag. She walks slowly to the ring taking in the moment as Andrew stands anxiously waiting her, but gawking at her beauty at the same time. As she reaches the ring Aurora walks majestically up the ring steps and onto the apron where Andrew waits, holding the ropes open. She enters the ring then walks to join Andrew under the arc where Andrew removes Aurora’s veil and kisses her softly on the lips.
Ryan: Now that we have the bride and groom out there it is time for one more family member. A boy who will one day be the greatest wrestling superstar in the world. The real future of this industry, the son of the New Age….Bryan Xavier!!!!!
Just then a large, white pram white gold metal lining on it is pushed through the curtain by a staff member. From there Ryan King takes over and pushes Bryan slowly down the ramp towards the ring. Upon reaching the ring Ryan hands the baby up to Andrew Xavier to carries his son over to a white basket next to the arc. As Ryan walks back up the ramp he winks to Andrew and mouths “Good Luck”. As the arena starts to go silent the spotlights focus on the arc in the ring where Andrew Xavier and Aurora Callisto stand before the priest ready to be wed. The priest looks very old and fragile, but he raises his voice and speaks into the microphone places in front of him/
Priest: Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join in holy matrimony the couple of the New Age as the groom Andrew Xavier takes this gorgeous young lady Aurora Callisto’s hand in marriage. Now I believe you both have prepared your own vows, so Andrew would you like to go first.
Andrew looks at the priest then looks deep into the brown eyes of Aurora, the smile on his face is huge but we can see some nerves in his expression. He takes a deep breath then begins.
Andrew: Aurora, since the day we met my life has been on a rollercoaster of emotion between the revealing of my dark secrets, my career slump, and hell pretty much everything else. But there has always been one consistency that has kept my heart solid, one true voice that has echoed through my mind and stopped me from going insane and that voice…it’s yours. You see Aurora in my life I may have money, I may have looks, and talent but the most important thing I have right now is us. Me and You and our baby. As we all know growing up I didn’t have your normal family, but now, now I can say I have a son, that I am a dad, and most of all after tonight I can say I have a wife. A wife who I love with every single fibre in my body. You mean the world to me Aurora and through the good times and the bad you have always been there for me, for that I thank you, and most of all I love you.
Aurora looks like she is about to cry as she stares into the baby blue eyes of Andrew Xavier, but the her smile is still present on her face as she steps up to the microphone.
Aurora: Andrew I could come out here and say that I love you, I could shout it to the world, but the truth is that words cannot express the way I feel about you. What we have…it’s just so perfect, and I am so glad that we can be together for the rest of our lives. I cannot think of a better man to be my husband, nor a better man to be the father of Bryan, than you….
All of a sudden a buzzing noise is heard over the microphone, a repeated vibration echoes through the arena and cuts Aurora off. She looks down in shock at her white bag and opens it up to look inside.
Aurora: I’m so sorry about this…
She reaches into the bag and pulls out her sidekick III. Just then the lights go out and the ringing of a cell phone begins to echo through the arena. Then Silence.
Voice: Destiny Awaits…….
All of a sudden we here the phone being hung up and the tone that follows the hang up echoes through the building until suddenly there is a flash of light as all the lights in the arena come back on. As they do we see a man standing in the ring dressed in a white shirt and black jeans, he has short blonde hair and is fairly built. He stares at Andrew with a huge grin on his face then runs towards him and hits him with a huge clothesline. Aurora runs to protect Bryan and the priest flees the ring area as this mystery man continues to beat down Andrew Xavier with kicks and punches to the head. As Andrew lays on the blood red carpet the mystery man pulls a piece of wood off of the arc and snaps it into two. He then proceeds to take the sharp, broken edge and jams it repeatedly into the skull of Xavier who is now helpless. Again and again the splinters tear through his flesh and masses of blood begin to spurt from his forehead onto the carpet below. The mystery man is relentless in his attack but eventually stops and rolls the motionless body of Andrew Xavier out of the ring. As Andrew crawls towards the ramp to escape his attacker her looks back towards the ring only to see Aurora Callisto standing next to the mystery man, Bryan held tightly in her arms. With a sick grin on her face Aurora turn to the man and hands him Bryan then grabs his cheeks and passionately kisses him. The cameras cut back to Andrew who is in tears as he staggers towards the backstage area shocked and heartbroken. In the ring Aurora, Bryan and the mystery man stand proud of what they have just achieved as the cameras fade out.

Houstin Hills Community Center
Montgomery, Alabama
The Show begins around an old card table, We see The Royal Knight and the Judge staring at one another. RK fiddles with a ball of tape, motioning it around his elbow. He cuts it and offers some to Judge. Who refuses. Still with tape in his mouth, RK turns and speaks.
RK: We have a Plan this week?
Judge: A better plan than most weeks. We go in, win, leave.
RK: I like it! Can hardly get confusing can it?
Cassius walks past, undoing his tie from around his neck. His sister walks with him.
JMC: There are some confusing parts to it actually. It is just that I alone will deal with that.
RK: Are we going to get him this week? Get him good?
JMC: Oh indeed we are. We are going to finally do what we have needed to do for four long months!
RK: Awesome!
Daniel: Foreboding already for the WPW title match I think!
Max: Wait, are we live?
“TNT” by ACDC hits the speakers as the video for Tuesday Night Turmoil begins to play. The video finishes up and explosions erupt throughout the arena as the camera makes wide circles, mostly shooting the same people over and over again so that it seems there are more people in attendance then there actually are.
Daniel: Welcome to Tuesday Night Turmoil! I’m Daniel Justice and sitting beside me is Max Stockton, and we are three, count them, three weeks away from 2008 and the Tournament of Champions!
Max: But tonight Daniel, oh yes oh yes oh yes tonight is the big wedding!
Daniel: Yeah yeah, I remember Max.
Max: I heard that Carlos tried to get it changed to next week, but I mean, c’mon! Aurora has already spent hours on the phone every day with her wedding planner setting this bad boy up!
Daniel: Yes, we know, the wedding planner I’m sure is somewhere in attendance tonight.
Max: Somewhere, not sure where though. Damn shady wedding planners.
Daniel: We’re starting off tonight though not with a relationship gone right, but a relationship turned sour, as Royal Knight teams with his ex-girlfriend Super Sexy Girl, and a man he just can’t seem to get along with in Justin Dreamer, against Martin Cameron, Blade LaVigne, and Presidential Candidate John Oliver Edwa…
Max: Jokester! Jeez Daniel.
Cameron, Jokester, and Blade LaVigne all stand in the ring waiting for their opponents.
Mina: This match is scheduled for one fall, and is a three on three tag match.
Max: a.k.a a clusterfuck.
Dan: quiet.
Mina: In the ring, at a combined weight of 730 lbs, Jokester, Blade LaVigne, and Martin Cameron!
as "E-Pro" by Beck suddenly begins to play. Royal Knight walks out with Justin Dreamer and Super Sexy Girl following him. They both seem uncomfortable to have him leading, but continue to follow as he poses and taunts the crowd.
Mina: and their opponent, at a combined weight of 547 lbs, Justin Dreamer, the Royal Knight, and Super Sexy Girl!
Max: I don’t think these three are getting along really well.
Dan: (deadpan) Really now, I hadn’t noticed.
Max: That’s why I’m here, to make the smart comments!
Dan just stares at Max for a few moments as his mouth hangs open.
Max: What?
Dan: (Shaking head) Nothing Max, nothing at all…
Ding Ding
The match begins and Royal Knight immediately rushes in to attack Martin Cameron. However, Cameron is just a bit quicker and quickly overcomes RK and knocks him down with a clothesline. RK springs back up to his feet and gets knocked over again, before Cameron hit’s a few stomps before getting Royal Knight with an elbow drop. He drags Royal Knight to his corner and tags in Jokester, causing a relieved look to cover Beno‘s face as Jokesters speech on peace is interrupted.
Max: I’ll be honest, Jokester’s plans make no sense to me.
Dan: You actually try and understand what he says? Why would you do something stupid like that?
Max: Jokester could have some genuinely interesting things to say!
Dan: Or a new fart joke he wants to tell people.
Max: ...Good point. Hey, did you hear that last one? His timing was perfect on it!
Dan: I’ll just take your word for it…
Jokester steps into the ring seeming unhappy for second before RK clips his jaw with a nice jab. Jokester instantly shoves RK back. Rk uses this to his advantage and keeps moving backwards right into his corner where he tags in Dreamer.
Dreamer quickly comes at Jokester and two start trading big punches.
Dreamer gets the upper hand, and Jokester senses its so he suddenly connects with a boot to the stomach and a DDT.
Dan: This isn’t looking good for Royal Knight’s team…
Dreamer still seems very full of energy and doesnt let the DDT keep him down long. He gets back to his feet and shakes his head. Jokester is right there to get back to punches but Dreamer doesnt let that happen. He quickly finds his exit and gets RK back into the ring.
Daniel: Dreamer didnt want anymore of that.
Max: But RK sure does!
RK rushes back into the ring but misses a clothesline. Jokester misses one to, and RK goes for another but again gets ducked. Jokester finally ends the trade by landing his clothesline.
Jokester lays a couple of boots down onto RK as he tries to get up. RK keeps trying to get up but he gets another boot, this time right into his side, it rolls him over closer to the ropes.
Jokester gets him back up to his feet and slams a fist into the side of his head. he then throws him into the turnbuckle by his own team and after running into him with a stiff clothesline he tags in Martin Cameron.
Cameron jumps into the ring and starts firing right hands into the face of RK stifly. RK seems to get the sense knocked back into him for a second and drives his fist into the neck of Cameron.
Daniel: They are going to war tonight!
Max: I am going to chicken tonight....
Daniel: Because those have something in common?
Martin takes a few steps back but then launches forward again, Knight catches him with a kick to the chin and then bounces out to take him down with a clothesline.
Both men are on the mat, RK trying to crawl to his team while Martin reaches up and claps the hand of Jokester.
Jokester gets in fast and runs across the ring followed by a leaping elbow drop onto the back of his downed opponent.
Jokester picks up RK and goes for his ‘Rejected by the Electoral’ but RK seems to catch a second wind and grasps Jokester’s arm. He then uses it as leverage to jump and land a dropkick. RK gets up before Jokester and locks on the Dragon Sleeper! Jokester struggles in the hold for a while before he finally manages to position his body well enough to land a thumb to the eye on RK, forcing him to release the move. RK stumbles back and SSG tags herself in, just as Jokester reaches to tag in Cameron and Blade LaVigne intercepts. Jokester twitches when he reaches the ring apron, as he realizes just what happened. He looks into the ring to see Blade LaVigne in for their side.
Dan: This could turn out bad for their team.
Max: Duh. The LaVignes aren’t exactly known for their skill.
Blade LaVigne walks in ready to fight but totally loses it when he sees SSG gyrating towards him. Over in the corner Martin Cameron is clenching his fist and yelling at Blade to focus, but he’s too far gone. Jokester just hangs his head and seems to be muttering something along the lines of, “it should’ve been me in there”.
Dan: I think Jokester’s regretting tagging his partner in.
Max: And you wouldn’t? His partner is Blade LaVigne. BLADE LAVIGNE. A LaVigne is currently getting more action then him!
Dan: Good point.
RK grins as he notices Blade backing into their corner as SSG advances on him. Blade gets into the corner and hit’s the turnbuckle. Just as he snaps out of it and begins to turn his head to look at the turnbuckle, RK grabs his shoulders and jumps down from the apron, slamming Blade into the turnbuckle hard enough to knock him into a sitting position. SSG suddenly runs at him and hit’s a bronco buster, just as RK tags himself in. He jumps up on the turnbuckle of a neutral corner, and watches as SSG gets off Blade and he slides off of the turnbuckle to lay more or less in the center of the ring. RK clutches for his lucky necklace and almost loses his focus when he realizes it isn’t there, then hit’s The Showdown!
Dan: This has gotta be it!
1...2.…3!
Mina: Here are your winners, the team of Justin Dreamer, Royal Knight, and Super Sexy Girl!
Dan: We got to see a little of their old chemistry and teamwork tonight as these two competitors got lost in the thrill of the fight!
Max: Yes but the question is, what’s gonna happen now.
Justin Dreamer, who just seemed fed up with the whole thing, had already jumped down from the apron and left. Cameron and Jokester had walked away muttering, though on entirely different topics. Blade had rolled out of the ring in pain, leaving only Royal Knight and Super Sexy Girl standing across from each other, facing opposite directions.
A deathly hush fills the arena as all eyes are on the two as they walk away without even looking at each other, both with their heads down and their eyes full of regret.
The cameras go backstage to the locker room where Andrew Xavier is straightening his bow tie. He is standing in the mirror tugging and pulling ever so slightly to try and get it right. Billy Montel suddenly walks up along side him and slaps him hard on the back, completely ruining Andrew’s concentration.
Billy: Wahoo, you ready to go get married boy?
Andrew Xavier angrily pulls his bow tie off, then turns to look at Billy Montel.
Andrew: …Who are you again?
Billy: Billy Jam…Montel. Nice to meet you son. You gots the butterflies?
Andrew: The what?
Billy: The shakes?
Andrew: The… What?
Billy: Boy are you stupid? The shakes in your boots!
Andrew: …The butterflies you mean?
Billy: Well that’s a pretty gay way of putting it but sure.
Andrew: I’m fine…Um, what are you doing in here?
Billy: Just came to wish you luck son, go clean house! Wahoo!
Billy Montel leaves the dressing room as Xavier stands there baffled. TNT goes to commercial break.
TNT returns from commercial with Gunnar Brian standing backstage with Amy White.
Amy: Gunnar, we-
Gunnar suddenly takes the microphone away from Amy.
Gunnar: Look, my match is any second now, so I don’t have a lot of time. I requested this spot to make an interview because I want to address two people. First, Dan Murph. The sMurph himself, Dan, I sincerely hope you no-show tonight’s show, you know, like usual. This is going to be the one you really really want to, because if you do show up Dan, I’m going to do everything in my power to make you regret that decision. I hope for your sake though that you’re smart enough to realize what happened to Main Man last week will happen to you tonight though, so you just turn and run the other direction. We can blame it on whatever you want to blame it on. There’s always something. We can say you got the flu, that you had a doctors appointment, that you were busy, that you had no time to prepare, that you were unhealthy, or whatever other stupid excuse you’ve come up with over the years. Whatever you want Dan, but if you walk out there in a minute’s time, I will destroy you.
Gunnar gives a quick forced smile, then his face turns back dead serious.
Gunnar: I also wanted to quickly speak on how absolutely ridicules this show tonight promises to be. A wedding? Well I’m glad it seems we signed up with the same idea staff the WWE has which require us to have one wedding per year of programming. Since we missed the first year and actually had decent shows I guess we had to cover our asses and have two this year right? This makes me sick, the hype around the wedding makes me sick, and most of all Andrew Xavier, you make me sick. Have a good wedding tonight though regardless, I hope that your head doesn’t split open from the wound I gave you last week and bleed all over Aurora’s dress, that would be tragic.
Gunnar Brian’s head suddenly perks up as he hears music hit the PA system.
Gunnar: That’s my cue.
Gunnar steps off as the camera goes to the ring.
Daniel: We are back folks, ready for one on one action between two monsters
Max: That’s right. Dan Murph is already in the ring, waiting for his opponent to make an appearance
Daniel: Gunnar Brain has become somewhat of a monster himself lately, as he plows his way through the roster
Max: Almost like he’s purifying everyone in the locker room
Daniel: Gunnar Brian takes on Dan Murph, right now!
“The Importance of Being Idle” hits the speakers, as Gunnar Brian pokes his head from the back. He casually makes his way to the ring, eyeballing Dan Murph the entire time. Brian steps through the ring ropes, with a smug smile of self-worth
Daniel: Will Dan Murph be another victim to the one-man-gang of Gunnar Brain?
Max: I don’t know, Dan looks like today could be his lucky day
The bell rings, and Brian instantly hammers away on the bigger man, taking him down. Gunnar fires with extreme lefts and rights, clenched fists and all. The referee pulls Brian back, but he breaks the struggle, firing back on a fetal-Murph. The referee starts his count, before Brian backs away, leaving Dan Murph a heaving mess
Daniel: Have you ever seen anything like that before?
Max: We’re seeing a rampage in Gunnar Brian tonight
Brian stalks his prey, waiting for the bigger man to step up. Murph slowly makes his way back to his feet, not knowing exactly where he is from all the sudden hits. Murph makes it back to his feet, just in time to receive a swift kick to the face by Gunnar Brian
Max: That’s lights out for Murph
Gunnar makes the cover. He doesn’t hook the leg, but rather rests one arm over Murph, looking directly at the referee
One…
Two…
Three…
Mina: Here is your winner… Gunnar Brian!
Gunnar makes it back to his feet, soaking in the glory, as Murph lays out cold
Daniel: Another huge win tonight by Gunnar Brain
Max: Well, I’d say huge in an opponent sense, not from quality of competition
Daniel: Nonetheless, Gunnar Brian continues to pick apart the entire WPW roster
The cameras go backstage to show Andrew Xavier walking down the hallway in his tuxedo. He walks to the divas locker room with a smile on his face.
Daniel: Xavier’s trying to sneak a peek at Aurora’s dress!
Max: BS! He’s probably trying to sneak a peek at Super Sexy Girl changing! This is his last taste of freedom Daniel!
Suddenly Xavier is tapped on the shoulder and almost jumps out of his shoes. He turns around and standing behind him is Beno, in a tux.
Beno: Hey man.
Andrew: …Hey?
Beno: I’m ready.
Andrew: For what…?
Beno: The ring.
Andrew: …What ring?
Beno: Um… You sent me an e-mail asking me to be your best man… I’m supposed to present the rings when the priest asks. You even told me to wear a solid red tie.
Daniel: Is Beno Xavier’s best man?!
Max: …Impossible.
Andrew looks to Beno with a look of disgust and anger on his face.
Andrew: I never e-mailed you!
Beno: Yes you did.
Andrew: No I didn’t.
Beno: Yes you did.
Andrew: No I didn’t.
Beno: Yes you did.
Andrew: No I didn….. Beno look… What e-mail address did I use?
Beno: Ummm… I think it was AndrewXavier@gotcha.net.
Andrew: …Yeah, that’s not my e-mail address. Sorry bud, position is filled…
Andrew pats Beno on the shoulder and walks away. Beno looks to the ground, a few of the crowd begin to “Awwww…” as he then walks away as well, pulling on the corner of the tie and throwing it to the ground. He walks off in the hallway and just as he does a greatly-slimmed down Tina steps into view. Tina grabs the tie and holds it in her hands for a minute.
Tina: You sure that wasn’t too… Mean?
Jokester steps into view.
Jokester: Ha! Are you kidding? It’s Beno, he has no feelings! Besides, my elaborate plan to get a presidential looking tie without paying $39.99 worked beautifully, I didn’t even have to end up jumping Beno after all! Go get Connie and tell her she can let the real best man go now, we got what we wanted!
Tina nods to Jokester and runs off as the camera begins to fade, but then comes back on at the sight of Carlos Gonzalez. Heavy booing throughout the arena.
Carlos: John Ster… Just the man I was looking for.
Jokester: That’s John Oliver Edw…
Carlos: Whatever. I just got a call on your behalf, and I was told by the United States private party overseer that your business idea to make Tina and Connie switch off as Vice President and First Lady will not be acceptable. In fact, the committee has threatened to strike your name from the ballets all together if you do not select a running mate by the first of the year.
Jokester: January 1st?
Carlos: That’s right, the day our lovely Tournament comes to it’s head. I’ve also taken it upon myself to announce a match up for the tournament!
Jokester: Eh?
Carlos: You see, I’m not very happy with Royalty right now, and I’m definitely not happy about two of them being in the semi-finals. So here’s the deal, if you do NOT defeat The Judge next week on TNT, you will be in a fatal four way tag team title number one contendership match at the ToC.
Jokester: …Um, oh no?
Carlos: Sounds bad doesn’t it?
Jokester: …Yes?
Carlos: And your opponents, in one corner will be the newly formed friendship of Sky Ryder and Forsaken, with Vengeance in their corner of course.
Jokester: Okay…
Carlos: In corner number two, tonight’s challengers, David Nicolls and Desmond Troy! And if they win tonight, then that means that at the ToC, a second win will mean they never have to defend the titles against either of the three teams again!
Jokester: Sounds like a good gift for beating Royalty… Can I go now?
Carlos: No! In the third corner representing The Resistance will be Mike Adams and Jamie Parker!
There is silence for a moment, both from Carlos, Jokester, and the crowd.
Jokester: Yay?
Carlos: And last but not least, you Jokester, will be in the final corner with your partner.
Jokester: Who’s my partner? Connie? Tina? Tank? Al Gore? Craig Sinders? Bruno? Crazy Camel Toe?
Carlos: Your partner, will be the man you pick as your vice president. So Jokester, please do choose wisely, or do me one better and win next week, because that way I can place Royalty in that match to fend off the wolves instead. Good luck Jokester.
Carlos walks away from Jokester as Jokester shrugs it off and throws the tie around his neck.
Max: I’m confused.
Daniel: What’s new? Ladies and gentlemen we’ll be right back!
TNT returns from commercial to see a new face walking backstage, a man known as Ryan Patrick Cade. He shakes the hand of a crew member after introducing himself and then turns around to face another man who’s back is to the camera.
Ryan: Hello, Ryan Patrick Cade, new wrestler on the roster, nice to meet you.
The camera pans around to show the unimpressed face of Darian Entreri.
Darian: Hi, Darian Entreri, WPW tour guide, need help finding something?
Ryan: Yeah actually, you know where the food area is here? I didn’t get one of those print outs.
Darian: Sure, it’s right around the corner, through the long stuffy hallway, and straight up your asshole.
Darian walks away from Ryan shaking his head. Ryan watches him go and then just shrugs his shoulders and looks to the crew member.
Ryan: Would it have been to cliché if I said “Sorry, unlike you I don’t eat shit?” Ah well, opportunity lost then.
The cameras go back to ringside.
Daniel: Ladies and gentlemen, next should be a very interesting match up, as Judge and Cassius take on the deadly team of David Nicolls and Desmond Troy.
Max: And don’t forget that the WPW Tag Team Titles are on the line!
Daniel: I was getting to that just now, Max…as Royalty defends there tag team gold!
Max: How great would it be if titles changed hands on free TV. It almost makes wrestling seem more real than it really is.
Daniel: Max! Shhh, there are still ignorant children watching.
Max: *whispers* Oh, sorry…*screams*THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS SANTA CLAUS!!
Mina: The following contest is for the WPW Tag Team Championships!
“Soldiers” by Drowning Pool hit’s the PA.
Mina: Coming out first, at a combined weight of 475 pounds, D&D, David Nicolls and Desmond Troy!
The lights of the arena go out in pitch silence. Then as the drums start, the lights burst back on, and we see Nicolls and Troy halfway down the ramp. They are just walking down, talking to each other, probably about last minute strategy for this upcoming matchup. Nicolls slides into the ring, while Troy walks up the steps. They each go to opposite turnbuckles and step up and try to draw cheers from the crowd, and it gets them really fired up, until…
“Counting Bodies Like Sheep to the Rhythm of The War Drum” by A Perfect Circle
hit’s the PA, turning the fired up crowd into a sea of boos, falling upon two men, the WPW Tag Team Champions, The Judge and former world champion, James Moriarty Cassius!
Mina: And coming out next, they are the WPW Tag Team Champions, The Judge, JMC, ROYALTY!
As the music plays, you can hear a mix of a man whispering “Forgive Me” the whole time, roughly 10 seconds in between each saying. Judge and JMC walk out with their gold around their wastes. They strut down to the ring, not even taking their eyes off of their opponents tonight. They finally crawl into the ring via the middle ropes, and dance around (figuratively.). The Judge and JMC get in their corner, as D&D get in theirs. Both teams are working on a finalized strategy for tonight. Finally JMC steps out, as does Desmond Troy.
Daniel: We are about ready to get underway in what promises to be a fantastic match.
The bell finally rings, and “D&D” Chants begin to fill the arena. Judge and Nicolls stare each other down. D&D are a clear underdog against the Royalty powerhouse, and Judge takes advantage of it. He runs right into Nicolls with a kick to the mid-section, then follows up with punches to the skull of David Nicolls, then wraps DN’s arm around his head, and slams him back, hitting a massive-impact snap-suplex. Judge drags Nicolls over to the corner to a waiting JMC, and a tag is connected. Judge picks up Nicolls, while JMC gets in. Judge is holding Nicolls against the corner, as both men connect with a few boots to the mid-section before Judge is pulled back and forced to leave the ring. JMC pulls Nicolls away from the corner, but out of nowhere Desmond Troy sprints into the ring and tackles JMC, responded with a huge pop from the crowd! But the referee forces Troy back out of the ring, giving Judge and open shot to come into the ring and DDT Nicolls flat to the mat! Judge escapes the ring before being noticed.
Daniel: For a moment there it looked like our referee, who is getting paid all this money to keep matches fair, was going to lose control of this match.
Max: Don’t worry, its all good. He knows what he’s doing.
Daniel: Of course you are only saying that because you seem to love Royalty.
Max: And everything they represent!
JMC gets to his feet after the cheap shot from Desmond Troy. He shakes his head to disallow the blow affect his gameplan. Nicolls is starting to get up, and JMC just aids him, but Nicolls comes out of nowhere and grabs his neck and connects a huge swinging neck breaker!
Daniel: A huge wind hits the ring!
Nicolls is still about 10 feet from tagging in Troy, while JMC is a little closer to his corner. Both men are reaching for their partners. They slowly crawl. Both men are now just out of arms reach of their teammate. JMC makes a dive for Judge just before Nicolls dives for Desmond Troy. Judge runs in at Troy for a clothesline, but Desmond ducks it and throws Judge’s head into the top turnbuckle pad! He turns Judge around and connects with a few closed fists, before throwing him into the ropes. When Judge comes back, Desmond Troy lifts Judge high, and throws him back down in a huge spine buster! He goes for a cover, hoping the impact could knock the wind out of Judge momentarily.
1.…….
2.…….
3.….JMC ruins the pin. David Nicolls runs in to chase JMC out.
Daniel: That could have been it, I don’t think Judge was aware of where he was for those 3 seconds, causing the tag titles to change hands!
JMC slid out of the ring when Nicolls stepped in, and Nicolls leaves to avoid distracting the referee. Troy stands up, but falls back on top of Judge, driving an elbow into his sternum. Troy doesn’t stand up, instead he mounts Judge and begins digging punches into his skull. The ref takes a quick glance to make sure JMC doesn’t rear his ugly head again, then he breaks up the punches, saying closed fists are illegal. Troy gets up, and Judge tries to crawl to his feet and crawl towards his partner, but Desmond Troy grabs his feet and drags him back to his own corner. Judge, laying on his stomach-side, gets a elbow to his back from Desmond. Judge gets rolled over by Troy, and Troy uses his size to pick Judge up, hold him on one side, and slam Judge with a huge sidewalk slam right in the middle of the ring. Troy runs over to knock JMC off the apron to avoid him messing up the count again. He rushes over to cover Judge.
1.…….
2.…….
3...- NO!
Daniel: That second used to knock JMC off the mat must have been all the rest Judge needed.
Max: Yes, but Judge has been getting a pretty decent sized beating, how much more can he handle.
Daniel: Well he is only one counter away from buying enough time to tag in JMC. The problem now is that he is being isolated in one corner.
Desmond Troy really feels like he had that one. He picks Judge up and whips him into the corner where David Nicolls is standing, and Troy tags him in. Before leaving, Troy sets Judge up sitting on the top turnbuckle, climbs up himself, and wraps Judge up for a DDT, but the ref gets there just in time to say Troy is no longer allowed in the ring. He pulls Desmond off the turnbuckle, but David just goes up there himself…he knows what to do. He wraps Judge’s head, but…
Daniel: JUDGE COUNTERS!
A “HOLY SHIT” chant starts as Judge stops Nicolls’ DDT, and instead sends Nicolls going overhead in a Superplex to the outside, off of the turnbuckles!
Daniel: That’s a 9 foot drop, 3 meters!
Max: They never should have made that tag. Momentum was on their side, and they blew it. If they lose it will come back to that brain fart.
Daniel: Strangely enough, I agree Max. And if Judge didn’t have anyone respect before that, he does now.
Nicolls lie motionless, as Judge tries to get to a more comfortable position. JMC has to rush all the way to the other side of the ring to check on his partner, and by the time he can, Troy can anticipate him, and knocks him out of that equation with a clothesline. Troy picks up his partner to roll him back into the ring, and JMC, after his hit, manages to pick Judge up, but instead of rolling him in, he walks him to their corner. Troy reaches over and tags himself in, but JMC and Judge are still on the outside. JMC leans Judge on the apron for a small rest. Then Judge rolls back in and makes a quick tag to JMC.
Daniel: And the match resets, as two relatively fresh men come in.
JMC and Desmond Troy stare each other down, as the match will, in a sense, resets. They lock up, and Troy gains the upper hand first but kneeing JMC in the gut, but JMC counters with a knee of his own. JMC’s wins, as he is able to hit a snap suplex on Troy for one of the first time Desmond Troy has been on defense personally this match. Troy ends in a sitting position, and JMC runs into the ropes and hit’s a dropkick to the back of his head, then goes for a quick cover.
1.…….
2.…….
3.…- That’s not quite enough.
JMC understand he must do more against a very talented and desired Desmond Troy. JMC picks Troy up to his feet, and throws him into the ring, but Troy comes running back with a swinging neck breaker and both men are flattened! Troy ends up near the ropes and uses them to help him to his feet, while JMC just didn’t have much damage done to him. Troy comes in with a kick to the gut of JMC, but JMC just comes back with a devastating DDT.
Max: And that’s what Royalty can do…come from behind and take control
Daniel: He did one move.
Max: One big move.
JMC runs into the ropes, jumps, and rolls as his knee connects Troy’s gut. Desmond cringes in pain, as JMC runs back into the ropes and repeats the move!
Daniel: Ow, Desmond will have trouble walking if his stomach hurts.
Max: If he had a 6 pack like Judge or JMC, then they wouldn’t phase him.
Daniel: Do you hear yourself when you talk?
JMC grabs Troy’s legs as if for the Cassius Sharpshooter, but takes a glance at David Nicolls who seemed very ready to rush. JMC throws Troy’s legs down with authority and runs to try to knock Nicolls down, but Nicolls ducks it and hits an unseen low blow to JMC!
Max: Illegal!!!!
Daniel: Eh…
Cassius falls backwards, probably would be right on top of Troy, but Troy was waiting for it and forces JMC into a rollup in the middle of the ring!
1.…….
2.……
3.……
NO! Judge was there to break it up. Nicolls comes in to try to get Judge out of there, but Judge picks him up, turns, and spinebusters his ass to the mat and Nicolls rolls out of the ring. Desmond tries to get up and go after Judge, but he just kicks him and connects the Judgement DDT just before he rolls out of the ring because the ref was running over to him to kick him out anyway!
Daniel: Judge clears the house!!
Max: This match is as good as over!
JMC is still holding is fallen grapefruits, and Judge was kicked out of the ring before he could drag JMC on top of him. JMC slowly gets over there, but is obviously and rightly in excruciating pain. He finally gets his body on top of Desmond’s for a cover.
1.…….
2.…….
Max: This is it!
3!
Daniel: OH MY GOD! HE KICKED OUT!
Daniel was right, Desmond Troy kicked out with no time left. David Nicolls’ cheap shot gave Troy the time he needed to kick out. The only problem: he is in Royalties corner. JMC slowly gets up and tags Judge in. Judge goes to the top rope!
Max: Does Judge go to the top rope?
Daniel: Not usually.
Judge is standing there, but is unsure if he wants to take this leap of faith. Judge is about to jump, but Nicolls comes up and pushes him off, then jumps down before JMC lays a hand on him! Judge flips forward, missing Troy completely, and Troy has another opportunity for a roll up.
1.…..
2.…..
3.….
Judge had enough to get out of that one again. JMC gives Nicolls a dirty stare as Nicolls got back up to his corner, about as fresh as he can be. Troy slowly gets to his feet, as fatigue starts to rest in on him. He has been the majority of the offense in this match, and the blunt of the blow to the team also. He grabs Judge’s feet and drags him to the middle of the ring, before collapsing himself. But he regains himself just before Judge gets to his feet. A tag is made to Nicolls, who runs over and spears Judge from behind, causing a missed tag and Judge to get forced into the corner right next to JMC. Nicolls doesn’t even look at JMC, he instead picks Judge up to the top turnbuckle.
Daniel: Last time Nicolls had Judge up there it didn’t turn out so well for either man.
Lucky for Judge, JMC was there to slap Nicolls in the face to distract him, then tag himself in. Judge climbs down the back end, and JMC gets into the ring before Nicolls knows what happened. JMC turns David around, jumps, spins, Hurricanrana! JMC actually used his legs to get the big man off his feet!
Daniel: JMC has an opening!
Judge runs in the ring towards Desmond Troy to knock him off the ring, but Troy sees this and grabs Judge, and does a hip toss over the ropes all the way to the ground!
Max: Oh My God, did you see that Daniel!? Desmond Troy just took himself and Judge all the way down to the ground!
Daniel: Indeed. Judge has been getting thrown around all match.
Judge landed flat on his back while Troy landed on his knees. But Desmond does feel some aftermath as he has trouble getting to his feet. In the ring, JMC is just finishing up connecting with that Royal Blood! He goes for a cover…
1.…….
Desmond looks up to see after he hears the refs hand hit the mat.
2.…….
Desmond climbs in, but trips trying to jump up due to his knees.
3.…….
Desmond dives and…
Daniel: He broke it up!
Max: Hold Shit, how the hell did he get there!
Daniel: Pure wrestling instinct, Max.
JMC is on his back after being rolled off by Desmond Troy, and Desmond is slow to his feet. We see Judge on the far side from the camera peeking over, trying to pull himself up. David Nicolls crawls up to his feet via the ropes, JMC is on his feet in the corner. Desmond is facing JMC, and Judge is coming up behind Desmond.
Daniel: Remember, the two legal men are JMC and David Nicolls.
Judge grabs Desmond Troy from behind, turns him around, and connects with the Judgment DDT. David grabs ahold of Judge as he gets up and then throws him between the ropes onto the floor. He turns doesnt fall for the suprise that JMC has for him. He catches JMC'S foot. He spins JMC around and throws an arm out looking for a huge clothesline.
JMC ducks it and connects with a boot to the gut this time, and then tries to start the soliloquy. However David is able to push his way out of it, as JMC hits the ropes and comes back He gets lifted high into the air with a gorilla press!
Max: Jmc is way up high Daniel.
Daniel: He wont be for very long, Davids going to want to let Jmc meet the mat pretty hard.
That does seem to be Davids goal, but he never gets the chance. JMC starts to wriggle quite a bit and actually manages to get out, he slides down the backside of David and before David can really react his arms are behind his back and quickly after hsi face hits mat thanks to JMC's soliloquy!
Daniel: Holy crap!
Max: I think David waited to long.
Daniel: Well thats pretty easy to figure out Max.
Max: Shut up and lets see if this is it.
1....
2.......
3!
JMC rolls off of David as Judge slides back into the ring slowly. They stand and raise hands into the air as the ref gets the titles.
Daniel: And it was enough!
Mina: And your winners and still champions...Judge and JMC....The Royalty!
The cameras swing backstage to a storage room to show Masterful Michael Karver stretching with Jesse Long.
Jesse: So then I told her I was a professional wrestler…
MMK: And she left, right?
Jesse: …Yeah.
MMK: How many times do I have to tell you Jesse, you gotta make sure she’s into wrestling before you tell her you’re a wrestler or you’ll lose the fish.
Jesse: Yeah yeah, I know, but it worked on that one girl. Remember her?
MMK: The one who robbed you?
Jesse: …
MMK: Look Jesse, I gotta get out there, I’ll give you more pointers later, got it?
Jesse just nods as MMK walks off.
Jesse: Pointers… Ha… Like I needed his help in the first place…
The door MMK walked out suddenly swings back open. On the other side of it is not MMK, but rather MVP. MVP walks into the room with a wide grin plastered across his face. He walks right up to Jesse, who is watching him but is yet to say a word. Jesse speaks first.
Jesse: Let me guess, you’ve come in here to wish me luck against you at the ToC, because I’m going to need it, and because MVP is back on his path of dominance and all the other silly crap you do. I get it?
MVP: Nope, you’re wrong. That’s not what I’m here for.
Jesse rolls his eyes.
Jesse: Then pleeeeease tell me Mr. Most Valuable Player, why are you here?
MVP: To do this.
MVP suddenly throws a lightning fast right hook and nails Jesse between the eyes. Jesse falls back into a pile of empty cardboard boxes. He brings his hands up to his face as he shakes his head, taken by surprise and knocked out slightly. MVP leans down and picks up Jesse’s God of Live championship which was sitting on the floor, and straps it around his waist.
MVP: Seems like a good fit…
MVP then smirks and walks out of the storage room with the title around his waist.
Daniel: Hey, that’s Jesse’s belt!
Max: No shit Sherlock.
Daniel: What’s my two most favorite words in the wrestling language, Max?
Max: Bronco Buster?
Daniel: Get outta here. No, I mean ‘grudge match’ and that’s what we got up next! ‘Masterful’ Michael Karver versus Hardcore Champion and Florida State Title number one contender, 2!
Max: How did this one come about, Daniel?
Daniel: It’s a quarter final match in the Tournament of Champions. Karver (chuckle chuckle) CARVED up Mike Foxx in round two to move forward and face 2 who is at this stage courtesy of his victory over Dan Murph a few weeks back. Silence for Mina Henderson!
Mina: This next match is a third round Tournament of Champions match and is between, approaching the ring at a weight of 190lbs and hailing from Saint Paul, Minnesota, the WPW Hardcore Champion, Twoooooooo!!!!!!!!
Papa Roach’s ‘Walking through Barbed Wire’ rumbles across the PA as 2 walks out slowly from behind the curtain. He comes down the ramp, hands in pockets, ignoring any outstretched hands from disabled kids, competition winners and business guys with the right connections to obtain a ringside seat. He gets in the ring, goes to the second turnbuckle, grabs the top rope and glares at the crowd. He repeats this conceit at the opposite turnbuckle and the boos increase.
Mina: His opponent, weighing in at 215lbs and hailing from Venice Beach California, currently residing in Orlando Florida, he is the winner of the first ever Tournament of Champions, Masterful…….Michael…….Karver!!!!
There is a short burst of Kashmir by Led Zeppelin before Karver emerges in a particularly colorful robe. He carries a mic and gestures for the crowd to hush and his music to be cut. He speaks:
Hey, 2! A coupl’a weeks back, I made a challenge…….a challenge you did not show the respect of a reply. Let me remind you. Let me remind the fans out here. Roll the tape guys!
Quote from TNT 11/21/07
Quote:
Karver turns to the camera.
Quote:
Quote:
Karver: 2, study my tapes, watch my matches, and prepare for me because I guarantee when it’s all said and done, and we square off in the ring, you’ll wish you had. Oh yes 2, Mr. Hardcore, I’m throwing a challenge up there for WHEN our match happens, not if, we make it a submission match. Get back to me, or better yet get back to SiNN, he has nothing better to do. C’mon wheels.
Masterful Michael Karver walks off as the camera pans to SiNN looking confused in his chair.
Karver:There ya go. Now what have I heard from 2 since that episode of TNT three weeks ago? Nada…..Nothing…….A big fat zero. What does that tell me? It tells me that 2 is scared. Scared that his limitations will be exposed. Scared that he will be beaten.
Now Michael Karver is not scared….. the masterful WPW fans are not scared…..Carlos Gonzalez is not scared. He has decreed that this match will indeed be a submission match.
2 looks to referee Todd Franklin for confirmation. Franklin nods his head and shrugs his shoulders as if to say ‘What can I do? Carlos is the boss’ Karver throws down the mic and runs to the ring, discarding his robe as he does so. He slides under the bottom rope and starts raining blows down on 2 before he can position himself for defense. The bell rings.
Ding Ding
Daniel: Well, that’s a surprise for 2 and for the rest of us. This match will be decided by the first submission which will tip it in favor of Karver, surely.
Max: Not so fast, Daniel. 2 can do a lot of damage with his 2Tapornot2 move. I reckon he’s still the favorite.
Karver makes that prediction look a little unlikely as he lands an early Falcon Aaron sit-out suplex to weaken his opponent. 2 winces as he lands but rises and throws some Muay Thai Elbow strikes as he buys time to think out a strategy.
Karver doesn’t plan to get involved in 2’s agenda however and grabs the smaller 2 in a Bear hug which he turns into a Belly to Belly Suplex, keeping 2’s arm as he lands and twisting it high up his back. He lifts 2 up with this arm then drops him straight back to the mat…..once….twice……three times.
Daniel: You do not hang around this business for as long as Karver and not learn a thing or two.
Max: Pun intended, I imagine. Come on 2! Where’s those street smarts that have got you this far in WPW?
Daniel: Street smarts? 2 was educated in the best prep school in Minnesota and turned down a place at Harvard just to pursue his chosen career in Sports Entertainment.
Max: Minnesota’s got streets. 2’s a brotha from the ‘hood.
Daniel: The only hood 2 knows is ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ that his governess used to read him in bed every night.
Karver continues his offensive with punishing forearms to 2’s back, some bruising beginning to appear at his lower ribs. Karver goes for a Regal Stretch to force a tap out. Todd Franklin drops to his knees and asks 2 the question.
2 shakes his head as best he can and tries to reach for the bottom rope. Karver puls him back a little, but loosens his grip slightly and this allows 2 to lunge for the rope, forcing Franklin to call for a break. Karver releases, furious at himself for having allowed the escape.
The two men get to their feet and Karver advances but is drop toe held and bounces on the top rope. 2 grabs his tights and pulls him back into a Schoolboy, looking up at Franklin to count. Franklin shakes his head and mouths the word ‘Submission’ to 2. He releases and gets a Back Elbow in his mouth before he can move away from Karver. They rise again and move in for a clinch but Karver goes for a Single Leg Takedown then turns 2 into a Single Leg Boston Crab but 2 plants his free leg in Karver’s leg and thrusts him away. Karver goes between the top two ropes, just stopping himself exiting, but 2 gets in a quick standing drop kick and Karver goes to the ring surround. 2 skips up to the top rope and launches a Number 2 Special – a Flying leg drop – landing on Karver before he can get to his feet on the outside. Todd Franklin starts to count as the two men slowly recover from 2’s risky effort.
Daniel: Wow! 2 makes up his mind to throw caution to the winds and even up this contest.
Max: Yay! That’s my boy! Eat number twos Karver!
Todd Franklin counts both men on the outside. He gets to seven…..
Daniel: Oooh, this could be interesting. Perhaps both men will be counted out and JMC will get an automatic bye into the final.
Max: JMC or 2. Either way, it’s good. Judge’ll beat Jokester then we got the dream final we want for the Tournament of Champions.
Daniel: Well, I’m still hoping for Karver versus Jokester in the final. Let’s keep Royalty out of it and we should see a classic contest……has Todd not got to ten yet?
Max: 9.9999999999, Daniel and ooooooooh! Both men just get back in the ring in time. Who could have seen that coming?
Both men do indeed roll under the bottom rope just in time.
Karver is again just too quick for 2 and GFE’s him to the mat with a chicken wing front face stunner. He goes to pick him up but is distracted by the arrival ringside of his girlfriend, Calyn, who stands ringside pointing at her watch. Karver speads his hands wide to say ‘I’m in the middle of something’ 2 spots that Todd Franklin is looking down Calyn’s cleavage so takes the opportunity to low blow Karver between the legs. Calyn winces and Franklin turns back to see Karver on one knee and 2 hitting him with a Shining Wizard then twisting his legs into a Jailhouse Lock.
Max: Big Elvis hit in Japan, that move.
Daniel: That’s a disgraceful gag to make, Max.
Max: What gag? The grapevine lock. ‘I heard it through the grapevine’
Daniel: Max. First of all, that’s a Jailhouse lock. Second of all, Marvin Gaye had the hit with ‘I heard it through the grapevine’
Max: Oh. Me so solly.
Daniel: Apologies to our…….tens of Japanese viewers out there. Max will be reprimanded, rest assured.
Karver seems ready to tap, his ageing bones seeming to be at breaking point. Todd Franklin bends to ask the question…….but is grabbed by Karver. Franklin goes off balance, bumps into 2 and causes him to release the hold. 2 looks very pissed at Franklin who apologizes but does not appease 2. Karver hauls himself over to the ropes where he clings on while exchanging words with Calyn. She folds her arms and looks unhappy while Karver responds with a gesture presumably meaning ‘two minutes’.
2 charges but Karver sees him coming, pulls the ropes down and 2 flies over the top rope to land on Calyn Gilbert ringside. Karver thinks about going through the ropes but stays put when he hears Franklin start a ten count. 2 is a little groggy and slow to get back in the ring. Calyn restrains him a little and he puts a firm hand on her breast while trying to push himself back up.
Amanda Rhyme’s music hits.
Max: Oooh! This should be interesting! I thought it was Karver and Gilbert who had the tempestuous relationship.
Daniel: I think we all thought that, Max.
Amanda gets ringside to see 2 still with his hand on Calyn’s right tit. Amanda looks accusingly at him and he snatches it away. Calyn grabs his hand and puts it right back where it was. Amanda launches herself and grabs handfuls of Calyn’s hair. Calyn responds in kind.
Daniel: I don’t think that’s a standard Gracie Ju-Jitsu move.
Todd Franklin reaches nine as 2 rolls back in the ring. Karver plants two swift kicks in his ribs but 2 grabs his ankle and twists him to the mat. He rises in a clinch but immediately drops to his knee and grapevines Karver's leg going for a 2Tapornot2. Karver looks in trouble but uses his greater strength to kick clear and they both get up. 2 comes at Karver with a series of Muay Thai Elbow Strikes which Karver counters with a forearm block and some kicks to 2’s lower legs. 2 goes for a clinch again but Karver takes him down to the mat and gains control with a Body Scissors. He applies a Dragon Sleeper.
Daniel: That’s Karver’s ‘Red Eye’! 2 will have to tap or pass out!
Karver keeps this on for ten….twenty seconds while the two women fight on the outside, barely restrained by two security guys.
2 looks around for any respite but the ropes are feet away and Todd Franklin is wary of getting too close. 2 seems to try to shout something to Amanda but the capillaries in his eyes engorge…………
He taps.
Ding Ding.
Mina: The winner of this contest, by submission…….Masterful….. Michael….. Karver!
At this sound, Calyn stops fighting with Amanda and rolls into the ring where she plants a huge kiss on Karver’s wrinkled face. He breaks into a huge grin and kisses Calyn right back. Amanda looks horrified on the outside. She mouths ‘Sorry’ at 2 as he shakes his head, trying to get the blood flowing in the right direction once more.
Daniel: Well!!! Do you think this strategy was planned from the start?
Karver goes to his robe being offered by the timekeeper. He pulls out a platinum credit card – I don’t mean platinum colored – I mean platinum – and pretends to swipe it between Calyn’s cleavage. Calyn grins stupidly and they resume kissing.
Max: Now that’s true love that you rarely see – between a girl and her man’s credit card.
Daniel: A touching scene indeed. That has to go down as a major upset though. All the tipsters had 2 down as the man to progress despite Karver’s pedigree.
Max: Karver doesn’t do the pedigree. You’re thinking of Triple H.
Daniel: Time to move on.
Backstage Andrew Xavier is seen walking toward the ring, adjusting the wrists of his jacket.
Max: Oh my God, you know what’s coming next Daniel!
Daniel: Yeah yeah, Andrew Xavier is getting married to Aurora Castillo.
Max: This will be a great moment in WPW!
Daniel: …I bet. Regardless, it’s NEXT!
Daniel: Well it's always a great moment when sopmeone gets married, isn't it? Even more special when it happens inside the ring!
Max: Indeed it is special. Wait, isn't this like the Third time in WPW alone?
Daniel: second
Max: Oh
Daniel: Well, before we get this show going, I guess we'd better.
???: Wait wait wait!
The Cameras move from Max and Daniel over to the interruptor of the event!
Daneil: Carlos?
Max: Perhaps HE wants to Marry Xavier instead!
Carlos: Now Look, I'm sure you were all interested to see this at home, after all, it's another brillaint piece of booking by Carlos Gonzales. But I'm afraid that I have to come out here to tell you all that The Wedding will not happen right now!
Max: Awww!
Daniel: Why's that?
Carlos: And don't start Booing. Have you Ever actually been to a Wedding? They're ALWAYS late! One of the bridesmaid twists an ankle. Traffic is awful, The Priest can't be found... It's hell, which is pretty much forboding fo the marriage afterwards.
Max: Ha! So True!
Carlos: So with everything going late and to Hell, The Wedding will not happen right now. It will happen once the Show is Over. After Scorch Vs. Mike Corral.. And It will not be availaible on TNT's Broadcast, but as a special event on the WPW Website, which I am sure you all know the address by now! And if not.. Guess!
So for now, don't worry, someone will most likely be married by the end of the night.. Just not now! Cut to The interview!
Carlos exeunts from the arena, moving swiftly through the doors.
Daniel: Well, there you have it, The Callisto-Xavier Wedding will be after the Main Event and exclusively on WPW's Website! Sounds like something well worth watching!
The cameras go backstage.
Amy: Well while that mess gets cleaned up, we are standing here tonight with the WPW Heavyweight Champion, and possibly for the last night once again, Scorch. Scorch, you seem like you’ve been distracted lately, and Corral is at the absolute top of his game. How do you respond to those believing he’ll be taking your title tonight?
Scorch: That they might be right…
Amy: Excuse me?
Scorch: This week Mike Corral showed he has a passion for this business and finally, finally that he has a passion for this title. After years of being unmotivated he was given one shot, possibly the only one he’d ever see, and he wants to make the most out of it. It only took us, what, three tries to find someone who would do that? To those who doubt me I say this, watch my match and if I lose you can tell your friends I told you so. To those who stand by my side, do the same if I win. What I’m trying to say Amy is there will always be people who doubt me, always be people who say I don’t deserve to be where I am, lord knows there were plenty who said I’d never make it in the first place. Point is it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, it doesn’t matter what anyone says. I am where I am for a reason, and if for any reason that ends right here tonight, then it will be for a reason as well. So thanks for the interview time, but I have a title to defend. If you’ll excuse me…
Daniel: Mike Corral vs. Scorch, WPW Championship, NEXT!
Scorch takes his leave and TNT goes to commercial break.
The Scene opens up on 2, untaping his wrists after his loss to MMK earlier in the show. Suddenly and rather unexpectedly enters James Moriarty Cassius, changed from his wrestling clothes and in his usual suit and T Shirt Combo.
JMC: All goes well in the world of 2?
2: Well, its had its rough patches and its smooth spots. One of either could be coming up right now depending on what the fuck you want James.
JMC: Oh I want many things, Power, Domination, Respect, a world title to add to my Tag Team title. But, of course, you knew that because you want them as well.
2: I just want first place. That’s more of a search for meaning than belongings, its not my fault no one can hold onto titles when they get into the ring with me
JMC: Oh how true. I seem to have the exact problem. But that's just the tip of an iceberg when it comes to our similarities.
2: Why are you here!?
JMC: You want to be first place? Then i can offer you a vehicle that will send you to the stars faster than you imagined possible. You WILL be first, you will be everything you want to be.. Because You will be Royal. First in line to the Throne.
2: .....Sounds like I’m being offered second place there, Prince.
JMC: I am offering you Royalty to make your dreams come true. You are being offered the Place of The King! The People’s King is vacant and we, The Knight, Judge and Prince, all want you to have it as your own! Tell me, Oh knower of all our ranks, what is above King but God?
2 merely looks at JMC, thought on his mind
JMC: Take what you want from life, leave the bodies to be counted.
2: Sad you won’t be added to my pile of bodies next week, Prince of Cats. Now get out....
JMC: (Grinning) Oh, as you wish... But a word of advise, when the Angel and the Devil appear on your shoulders, remember that you spent a year of your Life listening to the Gospel from the person you managed. Perhaps the devil has something useful to say. And as I said at the beginning of the show, I am here to get you.
2 seems deep in thought as JMC leaves his locker room
Daniel: It wasn’t Scorch they were talking about getting at the beginning of the show! It was 2!
Max: And they weren’t talking about beating him up, they want a Fourth Member of Royalty! “Getting him”!
Daniel: Well speaking of Scorch, we’re ready to go in the Main Event!
Daniel: Well, after an exciting time in the rest of the show, we all know what we come to now!
Max: What do we come to?
Daniel: The Main Event! And not just any normal main event... We are here to perform a WPW Title match, and one much anticipated on none the less. It seems under two months ago that Scorch made the public declaration that he would offer WPW title shots to whoever could best him in a quick singles match. So far there have been two challengers, First off, Gunnar Brian became Scorch’s first Challenger where the two fought at HalloWicked, the Halloween TNT. Then, of course as you would remember, he faced off against Martin Cameron. Both of which he won, not to mention the Open challenges where he beat someone at the first hurdle.
Max: You mean Andrew Xavier?
Daniel: I do! And let’s not forget that scorch has faced off against worse threats before and come out on top.
Max: And Mike Corral has kept himself busy.
Daniel: Indeed, ever since the ToC started he has had a fire lit under him, not even dampened by the fact he went out in the first round to Michael Karver. He kept that feud up showing he could go as many rounds as the veteran and seemed only to fault in his relative inexperience. However he’s taken a crash source in that area ever since and this week, gets his shot at the big one!
Max: And here he comes!
RRRRRRREACH OUT AND TOUCH FAITH!!!!!!!
Literally exploding out of the Entrance way is Mike “The Saint” Corral. He runs right up to the crowd and begins throwing all his emotions right at him, the blue lights flickering. The crowd responds too. Mike remains there before slowly moving down the ring.
Daniel: The crowd realises they’re in for something special today and are responding in kind!
Max: What are they seeing?
Daniel: History, Max! they could quite possibly see the fourth ever WPW champion be decided in one foul swoop! Joining the names like James Moriarty Cassius and The One!
Mina: Coming to the ring first, From San Diego, California and weighing in at 243 pounds... He is Mike “The Saint” Corral!!
Max: JMC, One.. And Scorch! He’s a former WPW champion!
Daniel: Now you’re getting a little too far ahead of yourself, aren’t you? He is still our champion and there’s not a damn thing you can say to change that.
Max: He could. Corral could!
“Blisters and Coffee” by The Classic Crime starts to emanate through the speakers. The Crowd once again pops, louder than for Corral.
Mina: And His Opponent! From Tinley Park, Illinois... He Is the WPW World Champion... The Three Second Sensation... Scorch!
Scorch moves past the fans, holding his WPW title belt right to his shoulders. He moves past, giving some fans a few high fives and such. But still looking over at the ring, and of course, at Mike Corral! Corral looks back as well, it’s hard to tell who had more dedication in their eyes. Scorch concentrates on Corral and moves into the ring... Where he is suddenly attacked by Mike Corral!
Daniel: Whoa! Not at all Like The Saint to do such a thing, is it?
Max: Absolutely Power Corrupts Aluminium.. or something.
Daniel: Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely?
Max: Yeah, Yeah!
Daniel: Despite the illiteracy, he brings up a point. Corral is possibly drunk on the idea of being our WPW champion that he’s doing away with any niceties! He wants that belt and now Scorch knows how much!
The WPW title falls from Scorch’s shoulder and skids across the ring. Referee Chris Kay is quick to snatch the title belt away from the ring and pass it to the outside, taking it away as a possible weapon. Corral has placed Scorch’s head down on the ropes after he was stunned by a knee to the face, he now places him carefully in the 619 position. Then places his knee on the back of Scorch’s neck and pushes. For a while Chris Kay doesn’t notice either as he is distracted with getting rid of the belt, but he does turn around and sees what is occurring.
Max: Look behind you. The Power Corrupter is taking advantage of the gap in concentration!
The referee does turn and immediately admonishes Corral, who breaks the hold. Scorch gets to his feet, coughing as he does before straightening up. Chris Kay is keeping it all under control, moving Mike Corral Backwards to let Scorch get to his feet and ready to start this match. Kay keeps Corral back.. but as he seems to finish doing so, scorch leaps over him and right onto Mike Corral, landing on him mounted and taking it right to him with a series of punches!
Daniel: Justice is pretty sweet it would seem, Max! Scorch is doing exactly hat Mike Corral did!
Max: The referee is going crazy, just to get the damn match started! Can’t even get the “Ding, Ding” done.
Scorch jumps up and moves back From Mike Corral, who had covered up from the beating. Scorch is willing to be guided, but remains with his face towards Corral, ready and waiting for him. Corral gets up and Referee Chris Kay pulls them in, signalling for the bell
*Ding, Ding*
Max: Finally, we have ourselves a title match!
Daniel: Corral tried to get the drop on Scorch but from here on in, it’s even footing.
The two superstars approach each other like cats, reproachful and ready for any attack. They jump at each other and hit a lockup together. Corral pulls down on Scorch hard which causes him to have the Advantage. But Scorch rolls with it and instead of fighting the push down, embraces it, slips out of it and now has Corral’s arm behind his back. Corral turns but Scorch has the arm locked outwards. Corral however flips over himself and now his arm is in a normal position and Scorch’s has twisted up. Corral then slams on the brakes and tries to force the hammerlock onto the WPW Champ but Scorch reverses it the same way. Corral launches a clothesline before Scorch can Flip. Scorch receives the blow right to the Chest, releasing Corral’s arm.
Daniel: Corral getting a quick advantage here, twisting around the WPW champion.
Max: Reminding me of slinkies really.
Corral charges at the ropes while scorch remains on the floor. He returns and flips over himself, Senton Splashing onto.. nothing! Scorch rolls out of the way and gets to his feet. As Does Corral. However Corral faces the wrong way and is exposed. Scorch takes h chance and jumps on Corral’s back, hitting his opponent with a backbreaker, digging his knees into the kidney area. Corral Collapses backwards onto Scorch and then bounces like a springboard off of his legs. Scorch moves over and instinctively goes for a pinfall.
Max: First pinfall of the match. I’ve got my money on it getting to one and not to two.
Daniel: Is there anything that you won’t bet on?
Chris Kay slides down and starts the pinfall
1.........
Kickout by Corral!
Max: See?
Daniel: That was hardly a good bet, almost every fist pinfall doesn’t get beyond a 2.
Max: It did last week in Scorch vs. Corral..
Corral shoots his arms up once eh gets a chance and locks on to Scorch’s neck. Scorch seems surprised by this move, as Corral is still under him, not in a dominant position. But Corral seems determined, using everything he has to choke out the champ. Scorch tries to break it, but he is on all fours and having to Support the Weight of Corral too!
Daniel: Corral is using a very, very odd move there. He is Under scorch but is trying to be in control with that chokehold!
Max: Why’s that bad?
Daniel: Well it’s better to be on top in those situations, you can control.
Max: But Corral has the opposite effect. Scorch is trying to get up.. but he can’t he’s got pretty good Control as it is!
Corral moves closer to Scorch, placing more pressure on him. Scorch tries to reach out and grab the ropes but they are too far. He may have to drag Corral over to the ropes himself. H tries, getting closer and closer. But corral starts squirming, disrupting scorch’s movement.
Max: The Weirdest chokehold in WPW might have claimed its first victim! Tapping Time!
Daniel: Scorch sadly doesn’t tap.. ever. He prefers to pass out rather than lose willingly. Brave, but probably the reason he gets an injury and has to retire when he’s 40.
Max: Corral might retire him now!
But as soon as those words leave Max’s mouth.. Scorch does something quite smart. He drops down, deciding not to support Corral’s weight any longer. As soon as he Does, he lands right on Corral, who still has the submission move locked in. Corral is right under Scorch.. with his two shoulders against the mat!
Daniel: It’s a pinfall attempt! Scorch has just dropped down to make this a pinfall!
1......................
2......
Corral Releases his hold on Scorch, throwing him off him in the process.
Daniel: We have just seen the ingenuity of Scorch, Able to find his way out of anything.
Max: Either that or he collapses and accidentally landed on him.
Daniel: I’m going for the former rather than the latter. But it’s the second choke that Corral has placed on Scorch, something very odd for a high flier.
Corral gets to his feet and goes to stomp on Scorch but the WPW champ caches his foot and twists. Corral corkscrews and falls to the ground near Scorch. Scorch uses his time effectively and begins to stand. Moving towards the ropes while hitting his chests and massaging his neck.
Daniel: Scorch’s neck might be the focus of Corral.
Scorch looks over and Mike Corral is up. He runs over at him, and so does Mike. The two jump at the same time and throw standing dropkicks at one another, which both miss , the sail right over one another and the crowd pops of the simple silliness of this move. Scorch is the first one up and this time goes for a baseball slide which hits corral right in the back. Corral is down and Scorch smiles to himself, looking over at the spot where the missing dropkicks happened.
Daniel: No time for reminiscing now, Scorch, you’ve finally gotten the advantage!
Max: You gotta admit, I don’t think I’ve seen any move like that in a long time, two dropkicks that just sail over one another!
Scorch whips Corral at the ropes. Scorch then readies himself for the returns,. But Corral throws a heel kick out at him. The WPW champ ducks successfully and corral Continues. Scorch moves back to the ropes and waits, Corral charges again and throws another leg right up, aiming to clear Corral over the ropes. Corral hits the kick again, but misses, and lands on the ropes, one leg either side! An “oooohhh” escapes the crowd as they feel for how Corral landed, especially the men. Scorch then Dropkicksaults Corral and sends him flying from the ring!
Daniel: Scorch is showing the one big disadvantage of Mike Corral, his inexperience. It’s what cost Corral his wins over Mike Karver. You could just see Scorch lay out that pan, and Corral went in head first!
Scorch runs backwards against the ropes and watches Mike Corral lying on the ground. Eventually Mike begins to show signs that he is not actually dead and stands. Max starts yelling about how he should stay down but Corral can’t hear him due to the fact he’s an announcer and only we can do so. Scorch then launches himself up and over the ropes, jumping and cross bodying Mike Corral, landing with a disturbing splat, but they keep rolling, hitting the barricade together and moving it back two feet!
Crowd: Holy Shit!
Max: The crowd have got to be saying that. They just got in on the action! And lost two feet of room when they slammed into the barricade!
Scorch slowly gains his footing and looks over at Corral, there are still some fans near the break in the barricade that are helping Scorch up to his feet, slapping him on the back to congratulate him. They then push Scorch forwards and The Three Second Sensation enters the fray once more. He hoists up Corral and moves back, coming at him with an effective stiff Clothesline that slams Corral’s head against the ground outside. It does not look pleasant and the crowd knows it. Scorch moves over and begins to pick up Corral from his place on the ground. Scorch eventually succeeds and moves him to go back to the ring. But Corral suddenly panics, he sees that they are going close to the ring post, something Scorch could slam his head against. Corral jumps and throws scorch right at it. But Scorch reverses it and inadvertently rams Corral right into the unforgiving metal post!
The crowd , a large amount of them start to boo!
Daniel: Wait, this is amazing! They are actually booing Scorch slightly.
Max: He just cheated!
Daniel: I doubt it was on purpose, just a series of random and unfortunate events. But still, the fans Booing Scorch! Why? I’ll tell you
Max:.. I knew you would
Daniel: (Not even pausing for the interruption) It’s because, I think, that the WPW fans want to see something special this week, they want to see a new Champion, and what a way it would be to end the year, Mike Corral, no one would have given him a chance in holy hell.
Scorch has been told off by the referee, but he is still in the match without disqualification occurring. He throws Mike corral into the ring, and the count out, that was on about eight, stops. Scorch also climbs onto the apron. He moves over to the ropes and looks over at the deadly but bruised Challenger to his title. Scorch then climbs up to the top rope of the turnbuckle and the crowd voices their cheers, their slight boos as well.
Max: What’s Scorch’s Top Rope move?
Daniel: This is the third time, the Firebomb!
Max: Oh My God, Scorch is going for the Firebomb! That’s the move where he....
....
Daniel: (with no emotion) That’s the move where he jumps and connects onto his opponent with both his elbows and his knees. Very Deadly.
Max: Insanely Deadly!!
Scorch jumps outwards, sailing through the air and landing right on Mike Corral! Corral shudders under the impact of the manoeuvre! Scorch falls onto his own back, holding one of his knees. He then gingerly moves over and hooks Corral’s leg!
1..............................
2.................................
THREE..................... NO!
Mike Corral Kicks out in the nick of Time!
Daniel: Holy Crap, I did not expect that to happen! He kicked out of the Firebomb!
Scorch lies on his own back next to Corral, both of their chests moving up and down as they stare at the lights. Scorch begins to roll over and get to his feet. Corral as well. Corral looks over and sees scorch on his knees and throws a desperation punch at him. It Connects and scorch teeters back on his legs. Scorch then returns with another punch exactly the same, Corral falls down but comes back up and punches scorch. Scorch does the same again, and suddenly out of nowhere Corral jumps from his knees and dropkicks the side of Scorch’s face. Scorch hits the mat hard and flips over himself!
Max: Whoa!
Corral falls back, exhausted by this effort. Scorch is face first on the mat. The referee begins a count!
1......
2......
3......
4.....
Daniel: If this match ends by Count out, Scorch Retains to fight another day!
5.....
6..... Corral begins to move, climbing up the ropes to his feet.
Scorch begins to move as well. Getting to his feet quicker.
7.....
They are both now up, Corral leaning on the ropes, holding his midsection. Scorch moves over and takes Corral away. Scorch slams his elbow into Corral’s Midsection and causes corral to double over. Scorch then twists him over, snapmaring him to the ground. Scorch then Takes a boot and kicks Corral in the back, laying him down. Scorch then drops an elbow but Corral rolls away, holding his back. Scorch isn’t giving up and is like a cat with a mouse, not letting it escape. Scorch continues to attack and a knee to the gut doubles Corral over. Scorch hooks an arm around Corral’s neck and then another into his. Scorch then yells to the crowd who pop greatly... But as he lifts, He is blocked by a leg around his own by Corral. Scorch fidgets and releases the leg... But is lifted up himself into.... The Triple X!
Daniel: Th...
There is silence in an entire arena as they realise that Corral has hit his own finisher against Scorch! It seems even the move against the mat was silent as well, even it is shocked at what it sees. Corral sits up and looks over at Scorch, his eyes go wide as he realises what has happened, what fate has caused! Corral scurries over and hooks the leg of Scorch...
1...................
2......................
THREE!!!
....
No! Scorch has his foot on the ropes! Referee Chris Kay si aware of this and does not Call for the bell, despite the three count!
The Crowd suddenly seems to scream, their voices returning to them after the Shock of what almost transpired.
Daniel: My.. My God! We almost had the ending to our WPW title match right here. And did ... did you see the absolute amazement on everyone! Corral all but had the title won!
Corral looks to the heavens and buries his face inside his hands. But then another cheer begins to sweep the stadium. The fans are Cheering his name, telling him to keep on Going. Corral looks over at them, raising his face from his palms. He nods slowly, realising what they need. He moves over and picks up Scorch and brings him to the centre of the ring. Corral then yells at the fans before bringing an elbow down on Scorch’s head. He then Throws Scorch, who is only just on his feet, into a turnbuckle.
Daniel: The God Bless You! And don’t put in a sneezing joke.
Max: I wasn’t I’ve been silent ever since Corral finished off Scorch, it’s insane!
Daniel: Well be prepared again, the God Bless You is a huge finisher.
Corral grabs Scorch, whose arms are limp and places him oddly on the top Rope. Corral then jumps up and decides to hit him with several punches. Corral then turns around and grabs scorch, ready to hit him with the God Bless You. But as Corral spins. Scorch jumps up, he places his feet on the ropes and jumps around, spinning as he does. Scorch grabs the arm of Corral and brings it down in.. The Ignitor!
Daniel: Oh my God!
Max: Scorch is....
Scorch falls over and drapes an arm across Corral.
Daniel: Pinfall!
Max: Holy Crap!
1............................
2.............................
...............
THREE!!!!!!
Yes! Three!
*Ding Ding*
Max: Holy Crap again!
Daniel: We’ve just seen the ending of our match and.. by God wasn’t it good! I doubt Mike Corral will ever be the same after this match!
Max: I mean.. It was... Well it...
Daniel: I know how you feel, Max!
Scorch falls out of the ring and to the ground, not moving from where eh fell. Corral is still in the ring as well. Not moving.
Daniel: This match has taken it out of both competitors and now, Scorch retains his belt in the greatest Fashion... I mean, my God, I can’t wait for the Tournament of Champions Pay Per View! Who will be challenging him for his title? Will it be The Jokester, The Judge, “Masterful” Michael Karver or James Moriarty Cassius?

From WPW's Website
We open to a wide shot of the arena. The ring has been modified with flowers lining the ropes, and a red carpet has been placed over the canvas. Around the ring we see petals scattered on the mats, and in the very center of the ring there is a large, wooden, white arc. Between the arc stands a priest, bible in hand, dressed. The lighting has been dimmed around the ring and bright lights focus on the arc to make it the main focus. The cameras cut to the stage where a spotlight hits at the top of the ramp and standing there is a man dressed in a suit with a microphone in hand.
Commentator: Oh my God, thats...Thats Ryan King, the former owner of New Age Championship Wrestling! He's the man who introduced Aurora and Andrew, hes the man that pretty much brought Andrew into the wrestling industry!
Commentator: What about a burger king?
Ryan King: Ladies and Gentleman of WPW and the world over, I welcome you all to what well forever be known as the greatest wedding of all time and the coming together of two of the most amazing people on this planet. Tonight we will all bare witness to the joining in holy matrimony of WPW Superstar Andrew Xavier, and his long time Manager and Girlfriend Aurora Callisto. For almost two years now we have seen the two young stars bonding and growing with each other and now the moment has finally come for them to express their love and emotions publicly and join together as a married couple. Ladies and Gentleman it gives me great honor and privilege to announce the entry of this man, for years he has been idolised in my eyes, he is a true king of the wrestling ring, and the future and present of this company, if not the industry. Ladies and Gentleman I give to you the groom....Andrew Xavier!!!!
The lights change so that all the spotlights are focused on the entrance way as "No More Sorrow" by Linkin Park begins to blare through the speakers. There is no pyrotechnics but Andrew Xavier stands on the stage with his head down until the right moment in the song that he flicks his head back. As Andrew does so we see a huge smile spread across his face and a twinkle in his eyes. He is dressed fully in a black tuxedo and his hair has been perfectly tied back into place. Before he walks down the ramp he walks over to Ryan and hugs him tightly, we see him saying thank you as he steps back. As he walks down the ramp he greets the fans, then he stops as he reaches the ring and looks up at the setting before him. He takes a deep breath before sliding under the ropes and into the ring to join the priest under the arc. He greets the priest with a handshake then stands back to look up towards the ramp, awaiting Aurora.
Ryan King: What a great man he is, and behind every great man there lies a great woman. A Woman so intelligent, a woman so beautiful, so kind, so angelic. Behind every great man is a woman he loves, and a woman who loves him in return. Andrew has found that woman who will stand by his side for the rest of his life. This woman is the most amazing, the most honest, and by far the most beautiful young lady I have ever met in my life. I feel so incredibly lucky that I have brought both of you together and I take great pride in announcing to the world this. The Bride and soon to be Mrs. Xavier....Aurora Callisto!!!!
The crowd get to their feet as the wedding march begins to play throughout the arena. Andrew stands in the ring, the huge smile still across his face, as he stares up towards the entrance ramp. Then the beauty of Aurora Callisto graces our screen as she walks out from behind the curtain. Her white dress is gleaming in the light and she looks like an angel floating towards the ring. Her veil hangs over her face shrouding her gorgeous eyes, but the shine of her bright white smile shines through and in her hand she carries a small, white bag. She walks slowly to the ring taking in the moment as Andrew stands anxiously waiting her, but gawking at her beauty at the same time. As she reaches the ring Aurora walks majestically up the ring steps and onto the apron where Andrew waits, holding the ropes open. She enters the ring then walks to join Andrew under the arc where Andrew removes Aurora’s veil and kisses her softly on the lips.
Ryan: Now that we have the bride and groom out there it is time for one more family member. A boy who will one day be the greatest wrestling superstar in the world. The real future of this industry, the son of the New Age….Bryan Xavier!!!!!
Just then a large, white pram white gold metal lining on it is pushed through the curtain by a staff member. From there Ryan King takes over and pushes Bryan slowly down the ramp towards the ring. Upon reaching the ring Ryan hands the baby up to Andrew Xavier to carries his son over to a white basket next to the arc. As Ryan walks back up the ramp he winks to Andrew and mouths “Good Luck”. As the arena starts to go silent the spotlights focus on the arc in the ring where Andrew Xavier and Aurora Callisto stand before the priest ready to be wed. The priest looks very old and fragile, but he raises his voice and speaks into the microphone places in front of him/
Priest: Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join in holy matrimony the couple of the New Age as the groom Andrew Xavier takes this gorgeous young lady Aurora Callisto’s hand in marriage. Now I believe you both have prepared your own vows, so Andrew would you like to go first.
Andrew looks at the priest then looks deep into the brown eyes of Aurora, the smile on his face is huge but we can see some nerves in his expression. He takes a deep breath then begins.
Andrew: Aurora, since the day we met my life has been on a rollercoaster of emotion between the revealing of my dark secrets, my career slump, and hell pretty much everything else. But there has always been one consistency that has kept my heart solid, one true voice that has echoed through my mind and stopped me from going insane and that voice…it’s yours. You see Aurora in my life I may have money, I may have looks, and talent but the most important thing I have right now is us. Me and You and our baby. As we all know growing up I didn’t have your normal family, but now, now I can say I have a son, that I am a dad, and most of all after tonight I can say I have a wife. A wife who I love with every single fibre in my body. You mean the world to me Aurora and through the good times and the bad you have always been there for me, for that I thank you, and most of all I love you.
Aurora looks like she is about to cry as she stares into the baby blue eyes of Andrew Xavier, but the her smile is still present on her face as she steps up to the microphone.
Aurora: Andrew I could come out here and say that I love you, I could shout it to the world, but the truth is that words cannot express the way I feel about you. What we have…it’s just so perfect, and I am so glad that we can be together for the rest of our lives. I cannot think of a better man to be my husband, nor a better man to be the father of Bryan, than you….
All of a sudden a buzzing noise is heard over the microphone, a repeated vibration echoes through the arena and cuts Aurora off. She looks down in shock at her white bag and opens it up to look inside.
Aurora: I’m so sorry about this…
She reaches into the bag and pulls out her sidekick III. Just then the lights go out and the ringing of a cell phone begins to echo through the arena. Then Silence.
Voice: Destiny Awaits…….
All of a sudden we here the phone being hung up and the tone that follows the hang up echoes through the building until suddenly there is a flash of light as all the lights in the arena come back on. As they do we see a man standing in the ring dressed in a white shirt and black jeans, he has short blonde hair and is fairly built. He stares at Andrew with a huge grin on his face then runs towards him and hits him with a huge clothesline. Aurora runs to protect Bryan and the priest flees the ring area as this mystery man continues to beat down Andrew Xavier with kicks and punches to the head. As Andrew lays on the blood red carpet the mystery man pulls a piece of wood off of the arc and snaps it into two. He then proceeds to take the sharp, broken edge and jams it repeatedly into the skull of Xavier who is now helpless. Again and again the splinters tear through his flesh and masses of blood begin to spurt from his forehead onto the carpet below. The mystery man is relentless in his attack but eventually stops and rolls the motionless body of Andrew Xavier out of the ring. As Andrew crawls towards the ramp to escape his attacker her looks back towards the ring only to see Aurora Callisto standing next to the mystery man, Bryan held tightly in her arms. With a sick grin on her face Aurora turn to the man and hands him Bryan then grabs his cheeks and passionately kisses him. The cameras cut back to Andrew who is in tears as he staggers towards the backstage area shocked and heartbroken. In the ring Aurora, Bryan and the mystery man stand proud of what they have just achieved as the cameras fade out.
