When Worlds Collide!

[Aperama]

The show starts off with a bang - literally. A number of fireworks, suspended above the ring, all begin to set off one after another, causing in a spectacular flash of light - and hundreds upon hundreds of standing-room only Puerto Ricans are screaming at the top of their lungs to get the show on the road. As the video screen above the entrance ramp begins to roll over a few big bumps, iconic highlights over the past year - Daniel Justice and Max Stockton stand in the middle of the ring, each with a microphone in hand.

Daniel: Well, I'm going to admit, I'm amazed. We made it the whole way out here to PIER TEN, SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO..

The crowd manages to drown out the rest of Daniel's words for the next moment or two as they cheer at mention of their home town.

Daniel: As I was saying.. We made it all the way out here without a hitch! And for all of you watching at home - welcome, to When Worlds Collide! And we've sure got a big one for you, haven't we, Max?

Max: Sure do! That's exactly why I brought this stab vest.

Daniel: We're in the center of the ring, and there's over a thousand screaming Puerto Ricans staring at you. So, you love it here, don't you?

Max: Just saying, I saw this documentary on Bruiser.. oh, that is an awful nice penny, you're right. Anyway. What I think my broadcast partner here was trying to say is, we've got one hell of a night in store for you!

Daniel: You're dead right, Max. We've got the tag belts.. on the line. The Canadian strap.. on the line. The Florida State..

The fans immediately begin to boo at the mention of the coastal North American state.

Max (quickly): And that's perfectly alright, guys - we all hate Gunnar Brian, too. But then.. we've also got the big one. The amalgamation. Killing Joke and Dan Murph. Two of them have titles. And given we're now defending it outside of the U-S-A, they're both world status. Um, I think that's how it works. Anyway. They hate each other, and there's going to be some absolute hell to pay when the two of them finally get to see one another.

Daniel: And that's not to say that any of the matches underneath it are any less hot! Sky Ryder and Jason Silver have had bad blood since before they even came to WPW.. and they haven't calmed down an iota since. Sky Ryder's even been on a notable losing streak.. just because he can't even bring himself to look past Silver! That one's gonna be messy, folks.

Max: But not as messy, I think, as Gunnar Brian and The One. Because Gunnar Brian's going to have to measure himself out.. and as we've established, nobody here likes him anyway. Much less myself. But he's got a match straight after!

Daniel: And not only is it straight after.. but it's for his belt.. and, I've just learned - his opponent, who will also be decided tonight.. will be nice and fresh, because Trent James and Sal Karver? Up next!

Max: And just before we jump out of the ring and let you folks see some north of the border 'rasslin action, let's recap the last match of the night. Xavier Ray and Mike Corral against the IOW.

Max moves as though to get out of the ring.

Daniel: Uh.. Max? Don't you want to talk about the match?

Max: No. I want to let all of these screaming fans see the show!

Flummoxed, but in agreement, Daniel makes his way to the broadcast table with his partner, clearing the ring for the upcoming match.

After a couple of moments, Max and Daniel sit down at the announce table, and continue talking.

Max: So, I know you told me that this match is now starting the show. But uh...why?

Daniel: What do you mean?

Max: Well, wasn't this match supposed to be later on in the night?

Daniel: I believe it was. But I guess Mr. Gonzales seems to believe if he gives the winner of this match as much time as possible to recover, they'll have a far better chance of becoming the Florida State Champion tonight!

Max: Sucks to be Gunnar Brian.

Daniel: Indeed.

Max: Well, I guess let's go over to Mina!




Mina: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and the winner will go on to face Gunnar Brian for the WPW Florida State Championship later tonight!!!!!

'Papercuts' by Gym Class Heroes hits the pa system as the lights in the arena goes along with the music. As the drums begin the lights faze out and the words 'The Main Event' show on the tron followed by Trent James and some of his matches. Trent James then walks out from behind the curtain and looks out onto his fans. The fans cheer wildly as Trent drops to one knee and raises both arms into the air. Trent then gets back up on his feet and begins to walk down to the ring. He slaps his fans hands as they chant 'Trent is God'. Trent James then runs and slides into the ring. Trent pops right up and jumps onto the turnbuckle and looks out at his crowd once more as the cameras flash. He looks up into the sky above and taps his chest with his right fist then points up to the sky before hoping down from the turnbuckle.

Mina: First, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at two hundred and seventeen pounds....TRENNNNNT JAMMMEEEEEEESSSS!!!!

Max: Who the hell lis this?

Daniel: It's Trent James!

Max: Who?

Daniel: Trent James, he's new.

Max: Ahh, he's got no chance!! NEXT!!

Daniel: ...Trent James maybe new to WPW, but he has the opportunity to make a big impact tonight at our last Pay-Per-View of 2008!!

Max: What's he gonna do? Frame Roger Rabit?

Daniel: No...

Max: I got news for ya kid, it's been done!!

Daniel: Max! That's not what I'm talking about!

Max: Oh...

Daniel: Tonight, Trent James has the opportunity to not only become the number one contender for the Florida State Championship, but if he is successful here against Sal Karver, he will have the opportunity to become the WPW Florida State Champion here tonight!

Max: Oh big whoop, he might beat Sal Karver, and then he might be a champion straight after the champion has already had a match...how is that meant to impress anybody?

"Embrace" by Mission:Black hits as strobe lights flash across the arena. After a few seconds, Sal Karver emerges from behind the curtain with his back turned to the audience, wearing a hooded jacket. He turns around quickly and throws the hood off his head and walks down to the ring, shouting out at the fans and taunting a few times. He slides into the ring and taunts on the turnbuckle, raising one hand high in the air. He then hops off the turnbuckle, sheds the jacket and prepares for his match. The referee holding off Trent James the whole time.

Mina: And his opponent, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at two hundred and five pounds..."Spectacular" SALLLLLLL KARRRRRVERRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Max: Damn, I hate having to watch this talentless jerk, Mediocre Sal Karver!!

Daniel: It's Spectacular!

Max: Maybe thats what others call him, but my version is far more accurate.

Daniel: I'm sure it is.

Max: Glad you agree.

Daniel: Anyway, Sal Karver who has been more than impressive in recent months and is very unlucky not to be in a very different number one contendership match tonight, has another opportunity here tonight to add to the gold hes already won in WPW!

Max: Oh yeah, when his daddy carried him to the tag titles.

Daniel: I'm not so sure if Sal Karver would agree with that statement.

Max: He wouldn't.

Sal looks over at Trent, who seems eager to get this contest under way. He smirks as the referee tries to hold him off, and then jumps back onto the turnbuckle and taunts the fans again. This seems to be too much for Trent James, however, as he breaks free from the referee and runs up to Sal, who has his back turned on his opponent. The fans boo to alert Sal as to what is about to happen, but it's too late, and Trent attacks him with a shot to the back, taking Sal off the turnbuckle. Sal lands on his feet in the corner, and is immediately turned around and shoved back into the corner. Trent nails a few hard shots to the face of the younger Karver, who is finding it increasingly difficult to defend himself. The referee signals for the bell to be rung, and then attempts to pull Trent James away from Sal.

Daniel: Trent James is being relentless in his first WPW Pay Per view appearance here tonight!!

Max: He clearly wants to make a statement by beating Sal Karver and going on to win the Florida State Championship here in Puerto Rico!!

Daniel: That he does, but if hes not careful, he might find himself being disqualified here early on and thrown out of the whole equasion!

Max: Even if he does, do you think Sal Karver would be in any condition to compete if he continues to take blow after blow to the head like this?

Daniel: For once my friend, you may have a point.

Max: We are not friends!

Daniel: Touche.

Trent continues to pummel Sal in the corner, Sal still getting little to no protection in the corner. The referee continues to try and get Trent out of the corner, first by making the count up to three, and then by trying to physically pull Trent away from his opponent. The referee is having no luck at all, and Trent James continues to punch away over and over again at Sal Karver, who seems completely out of it by this point. The referee continues to pull away at Trent, until he finally moves him away from Sal, giving Sal a little bit of time to recover from the relentless beating he took in the opening moments of the match. Trent argues away with the referee, telling him that he's going to win this match and become Florida State Champion later in the night, while Sal is still catching his breath in the corner. Trent pokes the referee while trying to make his point. But the referee is not willing to take that from him, and begins to poke him back, moving him back towards the corner where Sal is. Trent raises his hands in the air and tries to stop the referee from disqualifying him, Trent turns around, and just as he does, Sal gets to his feet and goes for a huge superkick, which he nails!!!

Unfortunately for both Sal and Trent, he nails the referee with the superkick, after Trent ducks. The referee goes down like hes been shot.

Daniel: Oh no!!

Max: The referee just got his head kicked off!!!

Daniel: And now in our very first contest of the evening, these two men can pretty much do anything they want to eachother.

Max: In that case, let's hope they're both homosexual!

Daniel: I assume you mean hetrosexual...

Max: I stand by my statement.

Daniel: Ok then... Daniel moves his chair a few feet to the side, away from Max.

As the referee rolls to the side of the ring and lays on the ring apron, the two men continue to fight, this time Sal taking the fight to "The Main Event". Sal fights Trent into the opposite corner, where he gives him a taste of his own medicine, punching him viciously in the face over and over again until he falls flat on his ass in the corner. Sal walks away to the opposite corner, where he was being viciously beaten just moments before, turns back towards Trent, and then sprints, roaring all the way, before ramming his knee straight into the face of his opponent. Sal pulls Trent's almost lifeless body from the mat and into the centre of the ring, before pinning him. Sal waits for the count, but soon realises that there is no referee (or atleast not one whos concious) anywhere in sight.

Daniel: Well it looks like Sal Karver may have had this match won here early on, but theres no referee any where to be seen.

Max: There is, but the lazy bastard is taking a fucking nap!!

Daniel: I don't think he's taking a nap.

Max: Oh he is, it seems to be something thats spreading across WPW lately. I know a lot of our staff behind the scenes are often taking naps when they're supposed to be working!!

Daniel: That aimed at anyone in particular?

Max: Could be.

Daniel: Anyway, here comes a referee now, but I fear it maybe too late for him to count the fall as Sal seems to have given up on it!

The referee runs down the ramp, and rolls into the ring under the bottom rope. Sal who looks furious, has a go at the referee for a moment, before targetting Trent again. Sal picks Trent to his feet and slaps him across the face to wake him up a bit, before irish whipping him off the ropes, and knocking him back down to the mat with a big reverse elbow. James' head cracks off the mat, and he bounces straight back up to his feet, holding his face. Trent is greeted with another few shots to the face before Sal bounces off the ropes himself, and nails James with a clothesline. Trent doesn't budge an inch. Karver looks at him for a moment, before running back towards the ropes, bouncing off them again, and nailing another clothesline, even harder this time. James moves a bit this time, but not a lot, definetly not enough to make Sal even close to happy. Sal looks frustrated, he bounces off the ropes again, but this time Trent goes for a clothesline. Sal ducks and bounces off the ropes on the other side of the ring, again James goes for a clothesline, and again Sal ducks, bouncing off the ropes one more time, Sal goes for a flying shoulder block, but this time Trent ducks, and Sal takes out the second official. Not making full contact, but enough to take the referee down for a bit.

Max: No freakin' way!!

Daniel: Wow. This match is just a few minutes in, and already we've lost the services of two referee's here.

Max: I think we're going to need to hire some more referee's before the night is out.

Daniel: I think you could be right.

Max: I mean, forget about worlds colliding, the only thing colliding tonight are our wrestlers and referee's!

Daniel: That was lame, but I felt you made your point.

Max: Wait a minute. Do we call them wrestlers, or superstars?

Daniel: Does it matter?

Max: OR do we follow WWE's lead and call them "Entertainers"?

Daniel: No, no we do not.

Max: Are you saying our superstars are boring?

Daniel: No, I'm saying we don't pretend to be anything we're not.

The two men start to go at it once more, this time, and for the first time in the match, actually trading blows, rather than one man beating the hell out of the other. Both referee's are down, but moving a little bit. Trent James tries to irish whip Karver, but Sal reverses and pulls James in, kneeing him in the gut a couple of times, before trying for a suplex. Sal lifts Trent up, but Trent manages to fight his way back down to the ground, Sal tries again, but this time Trent blocks the suplex with his foot, stopping Sal from picking him off the ground. Trent reverses the attempted suplex, and gets in behind Sal, having his arms wrapped around Sal's waist, Sal looks for a way out, and soon he's behind Trent with his arms wrapped around Trents waist. Sal savagely beats the back of Trent with his right arm, before wrapping his arms back around his waist, and lifting him up, hitting a german suplex with bridge!! Both referee's are aware enough now to count, and both do.

1.....


2.....


3!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel: Wow, this match is over already!! And it seems that Sal Karver is the number one contender for the Florida State Title tonight!!

Max: But...But why is one of the referee's holding up Trent James' hand?

Daniel: I'm not sure, Max.

Max is right, one of the referee's has lifted Trent James' hand, while the other has lifted Sal Karver's hand in the air. The two referee's argue for a moment, before the replay comes up on the titantron. The replay clearly shows that both men's shoulders were down for the three count. The two referee's continue to argue, with now Trent James and Sal Karver joining in, both stating their case. Soon, Carlos Gonzales bursts through the curtain with microfone in hand.

Carlos: Stop it! Stop it right now!! I refuse to have anymore of this nonsense. This whole thing, is the reason we're having this event tonight and unifying two worlds titles to begin with! Therefore, I'm going to go backstage, and I'm going to review this situation, and I will let you both know during the course of the night what action I'm going to take. But until then, I suggest you both go backstage to your locker rooms, and relax. Because mark my words, Gunnar Brian will defend that Florida State Championship tonight!!

Carlos steps back through the curtain, as the two referee's try to get both Sal and Trent to leave without any altercation.

We cut backstage to a corridor where El Pollo Negro is doing Cock Push Ups on the concreate ground.

Max: Wow! I don't know about you fans at home, but I have never seen such strength in a pair of wings.

Suddenly, a pair of black boots walk on camera and stand next to EPN. We zoom out to see that they belong to wrestling veteran, Ron Simmons. Simmons looks El Pollo up and down before placing his hand on his chin in a "Hmmm" manner.

El Pollo: What's the matter? Haven't you seen a big, black cock before?

Simmons' eyes widen and his lips begin to twitch, as though he is about to speak. The arena prepares for what is coming.

Simmons: ....

A hands slaps against the chest of Simmons and pushes him aside to reveal Dan Murph standing behind him, his championship belt glimmering in the light. He stands with his chin in the air until he looks down at El Pollo and then at Simmons, with a small kink in his smile.

Murph: ......BITCH!

The crowd suprisingly go wild with amusement. Murph pushes past the camera, leaving El Pollo and Simmons standing in the corridor.

Max: Ahh, don't you just love catchprase cameo's?

The two turn to each other and we cut back to the arena.

[Aperama]

"On The Outside" by Kill The Complex hits, and Ryder comes running onto the stage. He taunts to the crowd, trying to hype them up.

Mina: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the WPW Canadian Championship!

After a few seconds, Ryder runs towards the ring, slapping hands with fans along the way.

Mina: Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas! Weighing in at 230 pounds! Sky... Ryder!

Daniel: This man has been dying to get his hands on Jason Silver. Now is his chance to do that, and to try and take back a championship that was once his.

Max: Well that's a lot easier said that done, I just hope Ryder doesn't choke here.

Daniel: He seems pretty focused to me.

As he approaches the ring, he slides under the bottom rope. Climbing to the top of one of the turnbuckles, Ryder outstretches both arms, in a crucifix position, hands open, palms down. He turns and jumps down, awaiting the start of the match.

Slowly the lights fade out untill all that can be seen are a few strobe lights and cameras from the fans flickering in the darkness. "Palm Trees" by Kill The Complex hits and after a long powercord, there is an explosion from the stage. Silver and blood red spotlights in the shape of heartagrams, shine down on the stage and begin to circle the arena. After a couple of seconds, the cameras zoom in on a figure standing right infront of the entrance curtains. It is none other than Jason Silver who is already making his way down the ramp.

Mina: And his opponent, from Dallas, Texas! Weighing in at 210 pounds! He is the WPW Canadian Champion! Jason Silver!

Daniel: And now Silver is making his way to the ring, he looks to be as determined as Ryder.

Max: .....

Daniel: You don't any comments?

Max: I'm just ready for the violence to begin.

As he reaches what could be considered the halfway point to the ring, Silver bursts into a full on dash to the ring and slides in under the bottom rope with his WPW Canadian title and uses his momentum to turn his body and slide up into a kneeling position. As the cameras refocus, a grin can be seen on Silvers painted face as he slowly stands up and begins to pace the ring.

*DING* *DING* *DING*

The two start to slowly circle up. Sky Ryder tries a quick single leg takedown but Silver moves before he can grab him. They start to circle up again, then they lock up. Ryder over powers Silver, pushing him back to the turnbuckle. He Irish whips Silver to the opposite turnbuckle, the charges at him but stops as Silver moves away before Ryder could reach him. They lock up again and Ryder now whips Silver to the ropes and misses a big boot as Silver comes back, then Silver kicks the back of Ryder's other leg causing him to fall. Silver starts stomping Ryder to keep him down, then hits a leg drop across the chest of Ryder. Then goes for a quick pin:

One..kickout.

Max: It's way too early for a pin.

Daniel: It's not like it hurts to try.

Max: Whatever.

Ryder gets up and gets whipped to the ropes this time. Silver starts for a dropkick but Ryder clinges to the ropes. Silver charges him and clotheslines Ryder as they both head over the top rope and out the ring. The ref begins his count as Silver and Ryder start exchanges blows, Ryder eventually getting the upper hand. He smashes Silver's head against the canvas and rolls him back in the ring at the four count. Silver keeps rolling to the other side of the ring, giving himself enough time to get up before Ryder reaches him. Ryder runs toward Silver but Silver hits him with a dropkick. Ryder gets back up and this time dodges Silver's dropkick and gives him an enzuigiri as he gets back up. Ryder goes for a pin:

One...
Twokickout.

Ryder picks Silver up and hits a high angle suplex. He leans against the ropes behind Silver and then spring forward and gives him a throw back. He then tries for another pin:

One....
Two.kickout.

Max: Still too early for a pinfall. I haven't even seen anything that violent yet.

Ryder waits for Silver to get up, then whips him to the turnbuckle. He runs toward him and hits him with a clothesline. Then he pulls him to the center of the ring and hits a DDT, before getting on the top rope. Silver slowly gets back up to receive a diving crossbody. Ryder starts to make a cover but changes his mind as he picks Silver up and pulls him up on his shoulders for a powerbomb. Silver counter this and turns it into a hurricanrana, making Ryder stumble and go through the second ropes and to the outside. Silver follows with a baseball slide but misses, and Ryder returns with a clothesline that knocks Silver hard to the floor. Ryder quickly picks him back up and whips him into the steel steps, then rolls back into the ring and back out to break the count.

Max: Now we're getting somewhere.

Daniel: Champ or no champ, I wouldn't want to be in Silver's position right now.

Silver uses the steps to help him get up, then gets charged at, but Ryder misses another big boot. Silver gets back in the ring and Ryder races right behind him. Silver gets up first and gives Ryder a few forearm shots to the face but Ryder kicks him in the midsection and tries for a sitout chokeslam. Silver grabs the back of Ryder's head as he does so, pulling him down as he falls making his knees connect with Ryder's chest. Ryder pops on his back. They get up at the same time and silver connects with a suplex, then a running senton. Silver covers:

One....
Two..kickout.

Ryder gets up and gives Silver a hard shot to the jaw as Silver tries to grab him. While Silver's turned around, Ryder hoists him up in position for the Sky Lights. Silver quickly squirms his way out and kicks Ryder in the leg repeatedly, then he tries for his signature move, Mindfreaked. He hits it and goes for the cover:

One.....
Two....kickout.

Daniel: Ryder's not giving up that easily.

Max: Well Ryder needs to get back on track if he wants this win.

Silver picks up Ryder and hits a back body drop. He then heads to the top rope. Standing straight straight and tall on the turnbuckle, he leaps to Ryder for an elbow drop but misses. Ryder gets up and puts Silver into Sky Lights formation again, and he hit its! He goes for the cover:

One......
Two.....kickout!

Ryder argues with the referee. When he turns around, Silver kips up and goes for the Razorbladed Kiss but Ryder catches his boot and spins him around, then connects with his big boot. He drops to his knees and covers Silver again:

One.......
Two.....kickout.

Daniel: Sky Ryder finally got the big boot he was looking for, but it wasn't enough for the pin.

Max: We can all see that genius.

Ryder again argues with the referee, and again, Silver kips up out of nowhere. Ryder gets the Razorbladed Kiss as soon as he turns around. Silver falls back to the mat and Ryder flips over the ropes. The referee just counts on both of them. Silver crawls slowly to the ropes to help himself up. Ryder uses the bottom ropes to pull himself up, then rolls into the ring. Both are up at the same time, but not facing each other. They back up into each other, then turn around. Silver hands off the first strike as he kicks Ryder in the gut and sets up for the Psychotic Episode. He gets it!

One...............
Two.............
Thrkickout!

Daniel: There is no way I'm believing he just kicked out of that.

Max: I told you from the beginning, Ryder is focused.

Daniel: ......

It is Silver arguing with the referee now. He walks back over to Ryder who's trying to get up. Silver starts to pick up Ryder then Ryder gets him in the small package:

One......
Two.....
Kickout!

Silver quickly gets back up and starts stomping Ryder down. He then picks him up and tries another Psychotic Edge. Ryder gets out of it and slaps Silver, and Silver returns the favor by kicking Ryder's weak right knee. He kicks it again and Ryder falls to the mat, grasping his knee. Silver then quickly runs to the turnbuckle and hops up on the second rope, then the top rope, then hits the BCME! He covers:

One....................
Two.....................
Three!

*DING* *DING* *DING*

Daniel: And Silver gets the victory, what an amazing match.

Max: Now that's something we can agree on.

Daniel: Sky Ryder gave it everything he had, but Silver got the best of him.

Silver, gloating for a few moments - that is, by giving the WPW Canadian Title a stern talking to amidst harsh breaths, doubled over as Mina walks over to begin announcing him as the winner - but before he even has the chance, Sky Ryder, clutching at his chest, gets up - pushing his face straight into that of Jason Silver. Each of them looking extremely winded - Ryder, of course, being the worse off as the pair start arguing once more.

Max: Yes! That's the first pick I've gotten right all night! This thing between them isn't resolved, Danny!

Daniel: How many betting columns are there for these shows, anyway?

Max: Three. They actually don't do wins and losses any more. Someone told them wrestling was fake.

Daniel: No shit.

As the pair begin to get into a shoving contest, Ryder is stopped, much to what seems to be the cheers of the crowd (probably because they see an attractive girl, really) - by his wife, Letty! The new pair begin to argue, themselves, Letty clearly trying to urge him that everything will be alright - with Ryder's emotive bloodlust for Silver still weighing heavily on his psyche. He leans in to place a kiss on his wife's cheek - then walks away from her, clenching his fist and staring directly at Jason - adrenaline keeping him from feeling the immense pain about his stomach.

Daniel: I think this is going to turn into another war between these two! They'd better get out security..

Max: Actually, they're all guarding the concession stands right now. Goddamn Cubans.

Daniel: Puerto Ricans.

His face filled with rage, Ryder winds back his arm, Silver watching him with gritted teeth, seemingly ready to take the punch and throw one of his own - and a sudden stomp echoes throughout the arena.. as Sky Ryder clocks his own wife, knocking her flat to the ground with a straight fist!

Daniel & Max (simultaneous): What the..

The crowd instantly falls to boos - Ryder and Silver talking once more, but now.. in a slightly more civilised tone, no longer gritting their teeth or flexing their muscles at one another. The cameras flash back down to Letty for a few solid moments before they cut away to.. Blade LaVigne, seemingly sitting in leisure in the back of one of his (many) limousines.

Blade: I've been given the go-ahead to wrestle. You'll see me before the end of the year. You jobbers, I'll show you who's the best. Why, out of..

Xavier Ray
Sky Ryder
Trent James

Blade calls over his indentured manservant with a click of his fingers - who gets him a glass of water. He takes a sip, then puts it down.

'Spectacular' Salvador Karver
J.T. Edwards
Chris Cage

... and many others, there's just nobody who brings it in the ring like the LaVigne Dynasty. I got taken off because I wasn't on any drugs. That's just stupid. Of course I'm not on drugs. I'm going to have to prove that I actually read shows by posting, alone, with no assistance, 'I Like Waffles'... yes, that's you, Blade13, I'm talking to you! If you write it in your 'review' of the show, you're booked! the best damned athlete here. I'll see you all come... Christmas..




Daniel: Well here we go this one should be a barn burner!

Max: I never understood that term, why is burning a barn a good thing? Don't you want to stop one of those as soon as possible?

Daniel: It's just an expression...

Max: Well whatever, we do have a really great match up for you next on When Worlds Collide!

Daniel: Yeah we have the veteran team of Sudden Impact against the, some would say, slapdash tag team of Corral and X-Ray.

Max: Well it seems as if we are ready to go let's hit the ring.

Mina: The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the WPW Tag Team Championship! Coming down the aisle are the challengers, first from the shores of La Jolla in San Diego California, this is The Highlite Mike Corral! And his tag team partner from Atlanta, Georgia, this is Xavier Ray!

"Heart of a Champion" blasts through the arena as Corral and Xavier blast through the curtain. Corral and Ray run down the ramp and pump themselves up as the fans are screaming for them.


Mina: And their opponents, they are the WPW Tag Team Champions! This is Unstoppable Mike Adams and The Future Chris Cage, they are Sudden Impact!

"We Made It" echoes through the arena as Adams and Cage walk out with the belts around their shoulders. Adams motions towards the ring and smirks, Cage nods as they drop their belts and rush the ring. Mina quickly hops out of the ring as Adams and Cage start trading blows with Corral and Ray.

Max: Well nice to see the champs start it off quickly.

Daniel: Well Adams told me that they wanted to get this match over with as soon as possible so they could get back and help Dan prepare for his match.

Max: Is Adams really that confident?

Daniel: Ever have a conversation with him?



Max: Good point.


Adams and Cage beat their opponents against the ropes and Irish whip both of them. Adams goes for a big boot and Cage goes for a clothesline, but both Corral and Ray duck and Corral springboards off the second rope and nails a dropkick on Adams as Ray bounces off the ropes and nails a clothesline on Cage. Adams and Cage then roll outside the ring to collect themselves. Adams and Cage go to turn and walk up the ramp just to calm down. Adams gives Cage a talk in his ear, but as soon as the champions turn around, Corral is running and leaping over the rope nailing both guys with a flying plancha. Xavier looks to the crowd and shrugs his shoulders and as all three men begin to get up, Ray runs towards the ropes and leaps over the top rope with a huge corkscrew plancha onto the champs and his own partner.

Max: Oh wow! These two will really take to the air, they seem to have the champs reeling.

Daniel: High risk, high reward and it paid off so far for the challengers. But I don't know if it will pay off many more times against the veteran champs.

Corral grabs Adams by the neck and rolls him into the ring. Corral goes for a quick cover but Adams kicks out at less than 1. Corral gets up and pulls Adams to his feet. Corral runs off the ropes and goes for a diving clothesline but Adams simply sidesteps Corral and then stomps on the small of the back of Corral. Adams grabs the leg of Corral and tries to charlie horse the leg by kicking the back of his calf. Adams is screaming something about flying as he slaps on a standing leg lock.

Daniel: You know it's interesting that usually two evenly matches guys sizewise, there would be more isolation on the back, but Adams seems to want to go after the leg of Corral.

Max: Well if you take out the leg of an impactful high flyer like Corral you neutralize 90% of his offense.

Adams laughs a little bit and kicks the knee cap of Corral and looks to hook in the Edgucator, but Corral is trying to fight it off and struggles to get to the ropes before Adams locks the hold in. Adams backs away and lets Corral get to his feet. Adams is staring at the leg seeing if there is even a slight limp. Corral has a very minor limp but shakes his leg once to shrug it off. Corral starts talking trash to Adams when Cage hooks the ankle of Corral from the outside. As soon as Corral turns around to yell at Cage Adams charges in and nails a huge chop block on the knee he was previously working on. Corral screams in pain and hits the deck immediately.


Daniel: Oh what a cheap move from the champions there!

Max: Well it may be cheap but it shows that these two knew what they wanted to do and had a gameplan going in. Cage with the slightest distraction and Adams went in for the kill.


Adams is now laughing a bit and stalking Corral. Adams gets back up and kicks at the leg once more, he grabs the leg and places it on the middle rope. Adams uses the rope to jump up and crash dwon with all his weight on the knee of Corral. Adams then drags Corral to his corner and tags in Cage. Adams steps on Corral's foot to hold him in place as Cage climbs to the top rope and delivers a double foot stomp to the knee of Corral.

Max: I hate to say it, but this may become academic here really quickly.

Daniel: Yeah if Sudden Impact can keep Corral isolated he's not going to be able to last much longer.

Cage is kicking away at the leg of Corral and grabs the foot of Corral and DDTs his leg into the mat hyperextending the knee. Cage grab Corral and lifts him up to his feet as Corral is barely on one leg at this point he can't even really lock up. Cage slaps him in the back of the head and yells at him to get up. Corral uses the ropes to help him get up but at the same time uses the leverage of the rope to land a one legged enziguri with his good foot to the side of Cage's head.

Max: Wow! What a move from Corral!

Daniel: I guess you can't count him out yet!

Corral is crawling towards his corner as Cage is down to a knee holding the side of his face. He reaches up and tags Adams. Adams runs in and delviers a big running big boot to Ray on the apron before Corral can get there. Ray is sent to the outside as Adams then kicks Corral in the back of the head. Adams drops a leg drop on the back of Corral's head and then reaches over and pulls up on the leg of Corral. Adams is stretching the leg of Corral as Ray gets back up and starts screaming at Adams. Adams isnt biting as simply looks up at Ray and pulls harder on Corral's leg.

Daniel: Nice wear down move here by Adams but at the same time I don't know if mocking Xavier is the way to go.

Max: It's never a good idea to tease a tag team partner, when you have his partner in the vice grip.

Adams releases the hold and gets back up to his feet, pulling Corral up by the neck. Adams drags Corral back to the center of the ring and then suplexes him over into his own corner as Corral's leg even bounces off the bottom rope on his way down.

Daniel: This has got to be killing Ray seeing his partner's leg torn apart like this.

Adams then tags Cage and Cage perches himself on the top rope as Adams sets Corral up for a slingshot. Adams slingshots Corral up as Cage flies off the top rope in a big clothesline across the neck driving Corral's back right into Adams' knees. Adams quickly rolls out of the ring as Cage makes the cover and hooks the bad leg, but Corral kicks out at 2.

Max: You have to admire Corral's courage here.


Cage picks corral back up and delivers a few shots to the ribs of Mike. Cage then hits a quick gutwrench suplex. Cage goes for another cover but Corral kicks out again as the fans are encouraging him to get up. Cage pulls Corral back up to his feet again and holds him by his bad leg. Corral is trying to swing at Cage, but Cage easily dodges the punches and laughs. Adams partially steps into the ring telling Cage not to let his guard down, as the ref goes over to yell at Adams to stay out of the ring. As Adams has the ref occupied, Corral goes for another enziguri, Cage ducks it, but Corral lands on his foot and hits the dragon whips. Cage is sent down to the mat as Corral reache sup and tags Xavier.

Daniel: Oh here we go!

Max: Ray has been waiting a while for this!

Ray hops into the ring and sends Cage down with a few big right hands. Adams runs into the ring but is met quickly with a dropsault. Ray hits an inverted atomic drop on Cage, and then he nails Adams with a few big forearm shots, and clotheslines the Unstoppable one over the top rope. Cage then gets back up and goes for a big swinging clothesline at Ray, but Ray ducks and locks in the rear naked choke.

Daniel: The Ultimate X-Ray! Locked in the center of the ring, this is over we got new champions!!

Cage is trashing about trying to reach the ropes but he can't. Cage taps out very quickly as Ray sinches it in tighter. Ray lets go of the hold and raises his arms in the air as the fans are screaming their heads off. As the ref pulls Ray's arms down trying to tell him he never saw the tag, Adams grabs the tag title belt and smashes Corral, who is slumped on the middle rope, in the head. Cage quickly goes for a rollup as Ray doesn't notice and leaves the ring as per the ref's instructions. The ref turns around and slides over to make the count. 1...........Ray sees this and runs into the ring.........2..........Adams quickly slides in and spears Ray to the mat.....................3!!!!!!!!

Max: Damn it not like this!

Daniel: Oh that is just damn pathetic!! Adams cheated! He used that title belt to clock Corral even after Cage tapped out to Xavier!

Cage quickly rolls out of the ring and grabs the title belts as the ref raises the arm of Adams.


Mina: Here are your winners and STILL WPW Tag Team champions, Sudden Impact!!

Daniel: The champs are lucky to sneak out with this win.

Max: Something tells me that this isn't over between these two teams though. I'm sure Carlos is watching this closely.



The cameras cut backstage, to the medical room, Sky Ryder sitting on a examination table, a smile on his face. No one else seems to be in the room, but whether this is from no one else being treated, or pure hatred for the man sitting upon the table. Ryder looks up into the camera, and scoffs.

Sky Ryder: It took all this time... but I finally see. The hinderance in my path this entire time. For so long... I believed it was Silver... but no, it was none other than that seductress that kept me under her thumb. I bet that each and every last one of you out there believes that what happened out there had been planned for months. No... no. You see... while being under the spell of Letty... I couldn't see clearly. I saw in only the line of sight that she wanted me to see. I couldn't discern who was being true to me... and who was out for only themselves. But... she broke her own spell... when she stepped into that ring tonight, and kept me from the thing she had wanted me to accomplish all these months. And why, why you may ask, did Letty do such a thing? Well... it only made sense after I saw it. She knew... she knew that if I accomplished that goal... that she would no longer hold that guilt... that pain I felt for so long... over me, and would be forced to find other means to control me. And in that brief moment... my eyes were cleared, and I saw her for what she was. And I STRUCK HER DOWN!

A cold and sinister laugh comes booming out of Ryder, and it seems like it will never stop, until it abruptly does, Sky now smiling a demonic smile.

Sky Ryder: And with that... I have seen my future. Reunited at last with my lost brother... no one can stop us. The Lost Boyz will become the next Tag Team champions, no matter who stands in our way! One way...

Ryder starts smacking himself in the forehead, repeatedly, apparently trying to get blood to draw, or just inflicting pain upon himself.

Sky Ryder: Or... haha... hahahaha.... another...

[Aperama]

Daniel: We’ve got a grudge match up next, as Gunnar Brian takes on The One in non-title action

Max: Right before Gunnar Brian actually defends his Florida title

Daniel: This one isn’t about titles, it’s about respect

How deep do you believe?

Will you bite the hand that feeds?

As the music fills the arena, The One makes his way out from behind the curtain. He raises his arms up in the air, as the crowd cheers him on.

Mina: The following non-title contest, is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first… The One!

Daniel: The One looks to take out Gunnar Brian, and teach him a thing or two about respect

Max: Like Brian needs it. Brian is one of the smartest men I have ever met, quite a lot of philosophy on him

Daniel: Gunnar Brian is nothing more than a woman-hating monster, and I hope One will be able to shut him up.

Max: We’ll just have to wait and… hold on!

In a sudden stop, One hits the ground hard, collapsing to the ground. Gunnar Brian stands behind him, a steel chair in hand. Brian looks down at the fallen One, clutching the steel chair in his hands, admiring his handiwork.

Daniel: That sick Gunnar Brian!

Max: What a chair shot!

Daniel: He had no interest in defeating The One tonight, he just wanted to hurt him

Max: And get this match out of the way so he could be well rested. Genius!

Daniel: Genius? That was brutal. And sickening

Gunnar Brian throws the chair against the ground. He picks up the lifeless body of One, struggling to pick up the dead weight. Gunnar Brian is finally able to roll One into the ring. The One is laying flat on his back, arms spread. Gunnar enters the ring, and the bell rings.

Daniel: Is this really how this match is going to end?

Max: Giving Brian plenty of time to prepare himself later. This man is very smart

Gunnar places a single foot over the chest of One, raising his arms up in victory. The referee begins the count, as Gunnar soaks in the boos.

One…

Daniel: Not this way…

Two…

Max: Yes this way…

Three…

Daniel: I don’t believe it

The One kicks out!

Max: He kicked out?

Daniel: How did he manage to pull that off?

Gunnar Brian looks at the referee stunned. Gunnar quickly drops back down to the mat, covering One with a hook of the leg as well.

One…
Two…
Three… Kickout!

Daniel: The One kicked out again!

Max: How could he survive not only a chair shot, but a second cover?

Daniel: I guess Gunnar Brian won’t be getting the quick victory he wanted

Gunnar Brian stands up, yelling at the referee. The referee confirms it was a two count. Gunnar runs his fingers through his hair, refusing to believe it. Gunnar steps back from One, resting his hands on his hips, creating a new strategy.

Daniel: Gunnar Brian looked for the quick escape, but he’s going to have to work a little harder to defeat the former World champion

Max: Defeat nothing, Gunnar just wants to make his mark on One

Gunnar Brian picks One up off the ground. One is still dazed, his head resting in the chest of Brian. Gunnar Brian hooks the head of One, and drops him to the mat with a hard DDT. One falls flat to the mat again, as Gunnar Brian makes the cover.

One…
Two…
Three… Kickout!

Daniel: And One kicks out again!

Max: I refuse to believe it!

Gunnar looks in shock, not knowing what else to do. Gunnar lifts One off the ground, backing him into the ropes. Brian whips One, who counters and whips Brian into the opposite side. Gunnar responds with a clothesline, but One ducks out of the way. Gunnar charges back, and One hits a monkey toss, keeping hold of the arm, trapping it.

Daniel: Nice counter by One, who is now on the offense with that arm lock

Max: But he’s tired, look at him going for the rest hold

Daniel: He wants to wrestle Gunnar Brian

Max: And Gunnar wants to fight

The One cranks the arm against the back of Brian, who clutches his hand together to build momentum. Brian fires back with a series of hard elbows to the face of One, breaking the hold. One stumbles back, as Brian charges against the ropes. Brian fires, but One is ready to drop him to the mat with a powerslam. One makes the cover.

One…
Two… Kickout!

Daniel: Now it’s One who is making the power moves, proving that chair shot didn’t damage him

Max: He’s still tired

Daniel: But not too tired to think. He’s using Brian’s momentum against him, easing his own pressure and tiring down the champion

Gunnar quickly makes it back to his feet, and One is waiting for him, holding his thumb and index finger close, letting Brian know how close he was. Brian is furious.

Daniel: Looks like One is showing Brian the true meaning of mind games

The One wants a collar tie, asking Brian to tie up with him. Brian backs away, not wanting the test of strength. Brian tries to escape, but One keeps circling the ring, not letting him get away. Brian finally relents, locking in the collar tie.

Daniel: Gunnar Brian is going to wrestle One if it nearly kills him

Max: I’m thinking that’s all One wants to do. At the very least tire him out

The two men tie up, but Gunnar quickly shoves a knee into the gut of One. One hunches over, as Gunnar Brian charges against the ropes. Brian looks for a big boot, but One steps out of the way. Brian returns to his feet, just in time for One to deliver a back body drop. Gunnar lands on his feet behind One, and shoves him into the ropes. One grabs hold of the ropes, sending Brian tumbling backwards. Brian charges, but One answers with a boot of his own.

Daniel: The One is not letting his strategy go, making a solid effort to out-wrestle Gunnar Brian here tonight

Max: Gunnar Brian has an actual match after this, he shouldn’t even be competing right now!

Brain shakes the cobwebs out, and One is straight on the offensive, locking up with Gunnar Brian. The two men maneuver their way to the turnbuckle, as One pushes Brian into the corner. Brian quickly switches position, shoving One into the corner. Gunnar sends a huge slap against the face of One.

Daniel: What a display of disrespect by Gunnar Brian there

One checks on his cheek, but Brian is quick to respond with a series of rights and lefts. Gunnar is too fast for One, who falls to the mat. The referee tries to pull Brian off, but Brian continues the assault.

Daniel: Brian’s going to get himself disqualified if he doesn’t start listening to the referee

Max: I don’t think he cares. A DQ and additional punishment sounds like more than enough for Brian

Brian backs away from One, letting the referee get between them. Brian interrupts, picking One up by his feet, slamming him to the center of the ring. Brian is instantly on top of One, hitting rights and lefts. The referee pulls Brian off One, and Gunnar is livid.

Max: That referee has no right to interfere in this match

Daniel: He’s doing it to protect One from this vicious animal

Gunnar Brian is once again in the referee’s face, yelling at the top of his lungs. The referee reminds Brian of his position of power. Gunnar turns around to face One, but One is already up in the air, hitting a dropkick just below the chin. Gunnar hits the mat, returning to his feet quickly. One pushes Brian into the ropes, whipping him across the ring. Brian hits the ropes, and charges back. One hits the mat, and Brian runs over him. Brian charges back, and One sends him down to the ground with a swinging neckbreaker.

Max: And One is finally starting to get something done in this match

Daniel: He’s wearing down his opponent, letting him tire himself out

One steps behind Gunnar, and applies a front headlock, keeping the air out of Brian’s lungs. Brian reaches out for the ropes, but he’s too far. One locks the hold in tighter, making sure to choke the life out of Gunnar Brian.

Daniel: Submission hold by One, and we might see a tap out right here

Max: Or a pass out, which certainly wouldn’t be good for the Florida title match later tonight

Gunnar is fading fast, and his arms start to become limp. One keeps the hold locked in, as Gunnar stops moving his arm altogether. The referee begins to check on Gunnar, testing the drop of his arm.

One…

Daniel: Gunnar Brian could have very easily passed out here

Two…

Just before the count of three, Gunnar Brian makes a fist. He struggles at first, but is able to fight his way out of the headlock. Gunnar is able to reach out, connecting with sharp fists to the face of One, breaking the headlock. One stumbles backward, holding his head in pain. Gunnar uses the ropes to help himself up, then pushes himself against them. Brian fires with a flying forearm, sending both men to the ground. Gunnar sits up, coughing to get his lungs full of air again.

Daniel: Gunnar was able to fight out of the headlock, but has the damage already been done?

Max: He looks tired out there, how on earth is he going to be able to wrestle again tonight?

Gunnar gets back to his feet, picking the One up with him. Gunnar lifts One up, but One fights free and gets behind Gunnar. One looks for a German suplex, but Gunnar pushes One straight into the turnbuckle. One loosens the hold, and Brian shoves One again into the turnbuckle. Brian shoves as hard as he can, until the One is crumpled in the corner. The referee tries to break the two men up, but Brain shoves him out of the way. The referee turns, and Brian sends a leg straight up, hitting a low blow behind the referee’s back.

Daniel: And blatant low blow by Gunnar Brian!

Max: Blatant? That referee didn’t see a thing

Daniel: Gunnar has been trying to cheat his way out of this match since the very beginning, and he’s about to steal one right here

Max: Steal a match he never should have had to begin with

One sits in the corner, and Brian sends a sharp elbow to the face. Gunnar is down now to one knee, fatigue setting in for both men.

Daniel: And Gunnar is now starting to show signs of weakness

Max: He better end this match now, at least get some recovery

Gunnar Brian makes it back to his feet, signaling for the end. Brian is barely able to stand, the backwards shoves taking just as much out of him as it did One. One finally makes it back to his feet, though still in pain from the low blow. Gunnar Brian kicks One in the gut, then connects with the Gundanium DDT. Brian makes the cover.

Daniel: Gunnar Brian hits the finisher. This match is over

Max: And not a moment too soon for him

One…
Two…
Three…

One is able to get his foot on the bottom rope.

Daniel: And One kicks out again!

Max: He didn’t kick out, he got his foot on the rope!

Daniel: It’s as good as a Kickout, and this match will continue

Brian gets to his knees, stunned. He looks at the fallen body of One, trying to figure out a way to keep him down. Brian takes a moment to get to his feet, his own weight a challenge to overcome. Brian is able to get One back to his feet, as both men see fatigue. Brain sets One up for another Gundanium. But One slips out, dropping to one knee. Gunnar releases the hold, and One lifts Brian over his shoulder as he stands up.

Daniel: One is starting to feel his second wind now

Max: Second? This is crazy

One starts stalking Gunnar, asking him to come back. Gunnar staggers over, and One connects with the God Like Drop. Gunnar Brian hits the mat cold. One makes the cover.

One…
Two…
The One gets off Gunnar

Daniel: What is he doing?

Max: He had this match won, it was over!

The One looks down at the body of Gunnar Brian, then towards the turnbuckle. He points, and the crowd pops. He drags Gunnar closer to the turnbuckle, then climbs up top.

Max: What is he thinking here?

Daniel: One wants to send a message, for his daughter waiting for him back home

One climbs up to the top of the turnbuckle. He points across the arena at all the people, slowing making his way around the ring. He stops his turn, then points straight up into the air. He closes his eyes, and hits a picture perfect Wish You Were Here Moonsault. One makes the cover on Gunnar.

One…
Two…
Three…

Daniel: He’s done it, he’s done it! The One has defeated Gunnar Brian!

Mina: Here is your winner… The One!

The referee holds the hand of One up high, as he kisses his hand and throws the kiss toward the sky. Gunnar Brian is still down, seeing stars

Daniel: Impressive win there for The One

Max: And it’s not over yet for Gunnar Brian, is it?







The One just leaves the stage as the camera goes back to Gunnar Brian who is just getting up in the ring. He demands his Florida State Title. He exits the ring standing ringside when suddenly “Falls Apart” by Hurt hits the speakers. Out walks Carlos Gonzalez. Gunnar Brian, still hurting from his match with The One is irate.

Max: What the hell is this?

Carlos: So Gunnar, ya have fun? Huh? Oh? You lost? I’m sorry.

Gunnar then orders a stagehand to grab him a mic

Gunnar: My ass you’re sorry! Carlos, face it! I am the Florida State Champion! Losing to that failure known as One doesn’t mean a damn thing! Is that the best you got?

Carlos: Actually, No.

Gunnar tilts his head in confusion

Carlos: Following the events from tonight’s number one contender match, and the controversy that has been giving me a headache all night, I have reached a decision!

Gunnar starts sarcastically clapping

Carlos: Gunnar, you will be facing….

Carlos pauses in anticipation

Daniel: Come on, Who is it!

“The Main Event” Trent James

Crowd has mixed reaction.

Gunnar: I will stomp that rookie into oblivion!

Carlos: You didn’t let me finish dumbass. You will be facing Trent James AND Sal Karver in a Triple Threat Match!!

Crowd Explodes.

Gunnar is in shock, but trying to maintain his composure.

Gunnar: That’s fine, I’m still gonna be v-

'Papercuts' by Gym Class Heroes hits as Trent rushes the ring! He then gets on the apron, as Gunnar tries to ambush with an elbow, but Trent blocks it and shoulders him in the gut. Trent then grabs Gunnar’s head! He then leaps and delivers a Tornado DDT jumping and clearing the top rope!

Max: Here we go!

Daniel: Unfair!

Max: What the hell do you mean unfair?

Daniel: He was only supposed to face one man, not two!

Max: Sucks. Gunnar says he’s the best, now he can back it up!

Daniel: Where the hell is Sal Karver though, not that I care!

Max: No Idea

Trent then immediately climbs the top rope and hits The Shockwave on a prone Gunnar Brian!

Max: My god already! The Shockwave!

The newest WPW ref, James Harris goes for the count!

One!

Two!

Thr- No!

Daniel: Thank God! Gunnar got his foot on the rope!

Max: That would have been it, Guaranteed!

Trent is in shock waiting for Gunnar to get up. "Embrace" by Mission:Black blares the speakers as Sal storms the ring and goes right for Trent James!

Max: These two are finishing what they started earlier!

Trent and Sal are exchanging punches, neither flinching as Gunnar rolls out of the ring holding his gut from The Shockwave! Gunnar motions with his arms and mouths “I’ve had Enough!” He then starts walking from ringside with Sal and Trent still going at it. Carlos then comes back out to the stage! Gunnar holding his ribs, motions ‘Now What!’

Carlos: Where the hell do you think you’re going! Gunnar you said can win, prove it! If you don’t get back in that ring by the count of 10, you are stripped right here, right now of that belt, and Trent James and Sal Karver will battle for it without you! Make your choice!

Carlos walks away as Gunnar is on the ramp with the belt upset about it as James Harris starts counting, with the crowd counting along!

One!
..
Two!
..

Sal and Trent James have stopped what they are doing in the ring, turning their attention to Gunnar Brian.

Three!
..
Four!
..
Gunnar starts making his way to the ring.

Five!

Daniel: Gunnar don’t it! You can get it back!

Max: About time that son of a bitch mans up!

Six!

Daniel: What happened to being objective?

Max: Screw It.

..

Gunnar waves Trent and Sal off again, and starts walking. This time both men going after him! Sal and Trent rush out the ring and both men attack Gunnar Brian from behind. They then lift him up and put him set up for a Double Suplex! They stare at each other, before lifting and dropping the Florida State Champion on the ramp! Gunnar is screaming in pain! Sal then picks up Gunnar and holds him to deliver The Difference! Trent then out of nowhere delivers Sleep Walking to Sal Karver!

Max: This truly is everyman for himself!

Daniel: Absolutely, you kidding! This is for the title! You go balls to the wall, and nothing else!

Max: Balls to the Wall?

Daniel: Yeah dude, it’s a song! Here listen:

Balls to the wall, man
Balls to the wall
You’ll get your –

THUD

Daniel Stop hitting me!

Max: Then Shut up!!!!!

Back in action Trent is on the apron and looks about to leap on to Sal and Gunnar. Trent James then leaps and delivers a Third Rope Moonsault to the outside on to Sal and Gunnar! The crowd starts chanting “Holy Shit!”

Max: My sentiments exactly.

Trent then lifts up Gunnar and tosses him back in the ring.

Max: Finally they are in the ring again!

Trent delivers a swinging neckbreaker to the Florida State Champion and covers him.

One!

Two!

Th-

Out of nowhere, Sal leaps over the rope with an elbow to the back of Trent James. Sal then runs the ropes and baseball slides Trent James to the outside as he lands with a thud from the ring to the floor.

Max: Ow! Did you hear that impact!

Daniel: How could you not!

Sal then turns his attention to Gunnar Brian and looks to be lining him up for the SSKick. Sal runs but before he can even jump for the kick, he nearly gets decapitated by a massive clothesline! Gunnar then gets up and starts violently kneeing Sal in the side of his head. James Harris is on the mat checking if Sal passes out.

Max: Daniel, I don’t think he can take many more knees!

Out of nowhere Trent James comes and dropkicks Gunnar in the head breaking the knees!

Trent then picks up Gunnar and puts him between his legs and hooks his arms! He lifts him up and drops him with a Tiger Driver with Gunnar’s head bouncing off the mat. Trent James then goes back to Sal Karver who is now bleeding above his left eye from the knees! “The Main Event” locks in an STF!

Max: STF! STF! Sal is now bloody and has to be in excruciating pain!

Daniel: Sucks! If you want to be the champion, you got to get used to it!

Trent James is pulling back with all his might, but Sal is slowly making his way to the ropes! Trent is still wrenching back but Sal somehow gets to the ropes! Trent James, somewhat frustrated, pulls Sal Karver back to the center of the ring, and locks in the STF again, but only to instantly have it broken up with a boot to the head by Gunnar Brian. Gunnar picks him up and launches him like a missile into the turnbuckles chest first! Gunnar then turns around and delivers The Gun Slinger to Sal Karver, more specifically to his bloody eye!

Max: This match is out of control! Gunnar is a maniac!

Gunnar without hesitation then picks up Sal Karver, and puts him in his legs for the Raven Colored Streak!

Daniel: Here we go the champion is going to retain if he hits this!

Gunnar picks him up in position! He spins him only to see Trent James standing on the top rope! Trent is about to leap, but doesn’t. Instead he jumps off as him and the Champion deliver a Spike Raven Colored Streak to Sal Karver!

The crowd starts a “This is Awesome!” chant!

Max: Oh My God, his neck has to be broken!!

Daniel: That’s it Sal Karver’s dead.

Gunnar once up turns to Trent James delivering a boot to the gut. Then quickly picks him up and delivers a Raven Colored Streak to Trent James! Gunnar then does a cut throat taunt and motions a title around his waist. Gunnar Brian goes for the cover on Trent James! Ref James Harris counts, the crowd surprisingly counting with him!

One!

Two!

Threeee…. No!!!!!

Trent James got his foot on the ropes!

Daniel: What!! Trent James is either the luckiest or the stupidest man on the planet for doing that!

Gunnar fuming goes and gets in James Harris’ face! James is warning him not to do anything! Gunnar backs away and turns around. Unexpectedly Gunnar Brian turns and punches James Harris in the head!

Max: What the hell! Gunnar just punched the referee!

Daniel: The bastard didn’t count quickly enough!

Max: Oh shut up!

Gunnar though turns around to catch a chair thrown at him, but then get it kicked into his face!

Max: I don’t know how Sal Karver is up and he just SSKicked that chair right into the skull of Gunnar Brian! Payback is bitch!

Sal then grabs Trent James and holds him for The Difference, Trent James counters the hold and puts Karver between his legs! Trent then lifts Sal and drops him with the Sensory Overload! Trent rolls Sal over and has the pin!

The crowd is counting One! Two! Three!

Max: Trent James has the win here!

Daniel: There’s no referee though!

Trent still has the hold for the pin from the Sensory Overload, but then is stricken square between the eyes with a chairshot from Gunnar Brian who is now lacerated!

Max: That sounded like a gunshot!

The Florida State Champion tosses the chair out of the ring. Gunnar then goes trying to wake up James Harris!

Max: Oh sure, punch the guy out, then wake him up? Asshole.

Gunnar starts to get frustrated with James Harris not waking up yet. Frustrated, Gunnar Brian goes back to Sal Karver, and is about to deliver another knee to the head, but Karver moves as Gunnar drives his own knee into the mat. Sal then picks up Gunnar Brian and finally hits The Difference!

Sal Karver, who can barely see out of his left eye from the blood goes to the top rope!

Max: He can barely see what the hell he is doing! This is suicide!

Sal then leaps with extraordinary height and delivers The Spectacle! Sal at first rolls off holding his ribs but eventually makes the cover! James Harris slowly crawls over and counts!

One!

Two!

Three!

Trent James broke up the pin a second too late!
Ding Ding Ding Ding!

Max: My god what a match!

The crowd chants “That was awesome!”

Mina: Here is your winner and the NEWWWWW Florida State Champion, “Spectacular” Salvador Karver!!!

Sal is lying in the ring, bloody eye and all as James Harris recovers enough to give him his newly won championship!

Max: Daniel, whether you like him or not, tonight Sal Karver truly proved why he is called Spectacular!

Daniel: On this night yes, but it won’t last long.

Sal slowly gets up and gets his hand raised! Gunnar Brian walks up the ramp, frustrated, disappointed and bloody. Back in the ring, Sal Karver is waiting in the ring as Trent James is getting up. Sal, with the Florida State Title on his shoulder offers a handshake to Trent James. Trent stares at him, and then stares at the Florida State Title. Trent motions and tells Sal “This Close!!!” and walks away not shaking his hand.

Max: Sal trying to be a good sport, extended his hand, but the arrogant Trent James refused

Daniel: Well why should he have accepted it? Had it been a few seconds later, that belt would have been on Trent James’ shoulder, not Sal’s.

Max: Whatever. What matters is Sal is the new champion!


The cameras flood backstage, to Amy White - who is standing by with.. Dan Murph.

Amy: I'm back here with present World Heavyweight Champion, Dan Murph. Now, amid the buildup to When Worlds Collide, there's been an awful lot of speculation as to whether Dan Murph has it in him to win the big.. hey, what the fuck are you doing?

Murph, only stopping to listen to the first few words Amy says, walks to pick up a chair - looking to be amidst a fit of rage as he suddenly smacks it into the camera lens, leaving us with a field of static for a few moments.





Daniel: And the tension builds and builds as we move towards the climax of this show.

Max: I don’t know if climax is the right word. It suggests some sort of sexual release and, as we all know, wrestling is not homo-erotic in the slightest.

Daniel: Absolutely not, Max. We’re comfortable with our sexuality and, if we enjoy half-naked men indulging in sweaty close contact with other consenting adult men, then shame on anyone who draws the wrong conclusions.

Max: Amen to that, Daniel. Now, will you please take your hand off my knee.

Ding Ding

Mina: Your next match is to determine the number one contender for the WPW World Championship and is between, weighing in at 215lbs and hailing from Dallas, Texas, he is The Stalllllllionnnnnnn!!!!!!!

‘One Two Three Four’ – Stallion bursts from behind the curtain to the sounds of ‘Take On Me’ by Reel Big Fish. He calls for the crowd to up their response, but already the audience are on their feet yelling their encouragement for the former Royal Knight.
He comes down the ramp slapping hands with at least fifty of those closest to the railings, then gets in the ring to pose on the turnbuckle.

Daniel: Wow! The Stallion knows which buttons to push. Listen to that response.

Max: He’s out of the stalls like a frisky two year old favorite for the third race at Lexington but will he get to the finish line without a fatal fall round the final bend?

Daniel: Rather inappropriate metaphor there, Max. The Stallion may be as fit as a thoroughbred but he’s built like a Clydesdale. There’ll be no fractured fetlocks tonight.

Max: I’ll need to get something else for supper then.

Mina: His opponent, weighing in at 295lbs and hailing from Sin City USA, he is Broooooooooock Goodmaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn!!!!

‘Sweet Dreams’ – the Marilyn Manson version darkens the tone in the hall as Brock Goodman delays his entrance for a couple of seconds, ensuring that the boos are even louder than usual.
The PPV budget extends to a few bursts of flame as Goodman comes down the ramp, a brooding look across his dark brow, though this is almost hidden by the long hooded jacket that he wears. He steps in the ring and removes his hood with short bursts of pyro flame erupting from the turnbuckles.

Daniel: The staff here at Arena pier 10 are doing us proud. We’ve been made very welcome here in Punto Rico.

Max: Puelta Rica.

Daniel: You can’t pronounce it properly either. Here, Mina – what’s this country called?

Mina: Puerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrto Rrrrrrrrrrrico!

Max: Just what I said.

Referee Todd Franklin pulls both men to the centre of the ring to give their last minute ‘no-biting, no-gouging, break-when-I-tell-you-to’ rules. Brock Goodman pays no attention and stares Stallion down. Stallion turns his head away and does a small spit onto the canvas. Franklin sends them back to their corners, then calls for the bell.

Ding Ding

Brock Goodman goes straight for a running clothesline, wasting no time in trying to grind Stallion down. Stallion sees it coming and brings Brock down with a drop-toehold. Brock lands on the second rope, which Stallion jerks backwards, and Brock is sent flying back across the ring. Stallion lands a knee drop on Goodman’s upper chest but Goodman scurries away before Stallion can inflict further damage. Goodman gets back up quickly but hears several taunts from ringside Stallion supporters.
Stallion floors Goodman with a standing dropkick when he is distracted but again, Goodman bounces straight back up. Stallion goes for a shoulder charge but bounces off Goodman who side-kicks Stallion. Stallion goes back against the ropes but avoids the clothesline that Goodman throws. He goes to the opposite rope and bounces, running into a Lou Thesz Press. Goodman pushes him away.

Daniel: things are looking serious for Goodman.

Max: Serious? He’s got an albatross sticking in one ear; he’s dressed in a nun’s habit with fishnet stockings and he’s reciting the entire works of Edward Lear backwards. That’s not serious.

Goodman gets up but is a bit more wary of Stallion this time. Stallion eventually comes at him with a running forearm but Goodman shrugs this off and floors Stallion with a Fisherman’s Suplex. He covers…..

1………Stallion gets a shoulder up.

Goodman lifts him by the neck and hits him with a knee to the forehead. Stallion goes down again, but rolls out of the ring for some respite. Goodman pulls the ropes down and jumps out of the ring in a Flying Crossbody. Stallion breaks his fall but Goodman rolls off, winded by an awkward landing. He is bleeding from the forehead as it caught the edge of the announce table in the crossbody attempt.

Daniel : That was as smooth as a Pina Colada with extra cream.

Max: Brock Goodman is a scary guy. Apparently Jack Bower pulled out his own entrails rather than face Brock in a pissing contest.

Daniel: Once again, Max. Jack Bauer is a fictional character. Brock Goodman is real flesh and blood. Lots of flesh and lots of blood – some of which is being spilled right now thanks to that wicked Stallion Spinning Heel Kick.

The action continues on the outside while Franklin calls for them to return to the ring. He begins a count while Stallion runs Goodman into the ringpost.
Franklin gets to six so Stallion rolls back in the ring to break the count. He goes straight back out again but Goodman has recovered and head butts him, wincing as this brings more blood from his wound.
Again, Franklin gets to six so both men reenter the ring from opposite ends.

Max: I hear that Stallion has had a viral infection this week. It has left him less of a Stallion and more of a pony.

Daniel: Pony?

Max: Yeah, a little hoarse.

Max falls backwards off his seat laughing his head off.

Daniel: That joke probably works better with the original Scottish accent.

Both men lock up in the centre of the ring before Goodman’s strength wins out and he twists Stallion into an arm lock. Stallion attempts to escape but Goodman pulls tighter so Stallion pushes backwards t take Goodman to the ropes where he throws a couple of back elbows with his free arm. Blood trickles into Goodman’s eyes and he is forced to let go while he wipes his vision clear.

Max: What are you getting Mrs Justice for Xmas this year?

Daniel: I’ve bought her the new ‘Mama Mia’ DVD.

Max: Oh, that’s the one with the special bonus feature, isn’t it?

Daniel: Special bonus feature?

Max: Yeah. The ‘off’ button.


Stallion sees that Goodman is struggling with his eyesight and circles round to his blind side where he throws a few forearms. Goodman kicks back but Stallion catches his foot. Goodman follows up with an Enziguri and Stallion drops to the mat.
Goodman drops a knee then covers.

1…………2……Stallion grabs the bottom rope and Franklin calls for a break.

Daniel: Brock Goodman is a hard…………hard man.

Max: Brock Goodman is as hard as the New York Times crossword with the answers all in Swahili and half of the clues missing.

Goodman swears under his breath and releases the cover, but only after two punches to Stallion’s forehead.
Stallion gets to his feet unsteadily using the ropes to help. Goodman charges, aiming for another clothesline but Stallion crouches, pulling the ropes down, and Goodman goes flying out of the ring. Stallion grins as Goodman glares up at him from the ring surround, but stays too close and fails to react when Goodman grabs his ankles and pulls him under the bottom rope. The two men exchange forearms.
Todd Franklin starts a count again.
Goodman eventually gets the upper hand and turns Stallion into Tmbstone Piledriver position.

Daniel: Oh my God. That’s a concrete surround. This could break Stallion’s neck!

Goodman drops to his knees, slamming Stallion’s head on the cold hard floor. Stallion seems unconscious, so Goodman folds his arms across his chest and presses down.
The crowd go ‘Mierda Santa! Mierda Santa!’

Daniel: That pinfall will not win the contest. This is not a ‘falls count anywhere’ match.

Goodman maintains the pressure for a few seconds before he realizes that Franklin is counting both men out, not for the pin.
Franklin gets to eight before Goodman scrambles back into the ring and starts to argue with Franklin. Franklin shows Goodman his referee shirt and threatens him with disqualification.
Neither man notices Stallion get back in the ring where he chop-blocks Goodman to the mat, then drives both knees straight into his chest.

Daniel: That’s right over his heart. That could kill him!

Max: You forget, Daniel. Brock Goodman doesn’t have a heart.


Stallion covers……

1…………..2…………2 ¾ - Goodman just gets a shoulder up in time, milliseconds before Franklin’s hand hits the mat a third time.

Daniel: Ooooooh! That was so close, but trying to stop Goodman is like using a deicer can to stop a moving glacier.

Stallion lands a few more punches to disable Goodman further then goes to the top turnbuckle. He kisses his lucky necklace and flies upwards in a moonsault with arms stretched out wide.

Daniel: The Showdown! The Showdown!

But Stallion’s high leap just gives Goodman enough time to roll away and avoid the contact. Stallion hits only the stain on the mat where Goodman has left some more blood.

Daniel: That was Stallion’s best shot! What is going to happen next? Both men are flat on the mat. That reminds me, Max - The Apathy Society have been trying to get in touch with you.

Max: Yeah, I was going to join them, but I couldn’t be bothered.

Franklin starts another count as both men appear exhausted and unable to continue.

Max: That takes me back to when I was whittlin’ sticks on the massa’s front porch after a hard day’s picking cotton. Ah, the memories!

Daniel: Yes, but they’re not your memories, Max. You’ve been reading ‘Roots’ again, haven’t you?

Max: Roots? I thought that was my Bar Mitzvah memory book. It seems that I’ve been living a lie.

Daniel: Yes you have, Max. Yes you have.

Stallion crawls over and drapes a hand over Goodman. Franklin counts…

1……………..2………Goodman throws Stallion’s arm away, then rolls over himself to cover…..

1……………..2……..Stallion gets a shoulder up and tries to rise, but is shoulder charged through the ropes by a recovering Goodman. Stallion sprawls ringside, one arm under the ring apron. Todd Franklin starts to count him out but Goodman comes over and tries to grab Stallion’s hair through the ropes. Todd Franklin pushes him backwards to allow Stallion room to get back in the ring. Stallion seems to be carrying something he has found under the ring…..

Max: What is that? Stallion’s got something in his right hand! Is that the sphere he was talking about this week?

The camera shot does indeed show a faintly glowing purple/cyan sphere held in the palm of Stallion’s hand.
Goodman pushes his way past Hamilton but his right thumb accidentally catches Franklin’s eye and he is temporarily blinded. Goodman rushes at Stallion looking for a Final Resting Place Spinning Crucifix Bomb but Stallion smashes the sphere into Goodman’s scalp, causing further bleeding and dazing Goodman. The sphere does not break, so Stallion rolls it to the outside of the ring where it once again finds its way back under the ring. Goodman falls and Stallion covers.

Franklin clears his vision, spots the cover and counts…..

1…………………..2………………….3!!!!!!!

Ding Ding

Mina: Your winner, and number one contender for the WPW World Championship…………The Stallionnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!

Daniel: Stallion does it!!!! He gets the cover, but with more than a little help from that mysterious sphere.

Max: I thought that was supposed to have been a dream. I’m confused.

Daniel: T’was ever thus, Max. Look, you’ve been jumping around all evening as though you’re fit to burst. What’s that all about?

Max: I can’t keep it a secret any longer. It’s official. Hulk Hogan is going to wrestle at next year’s Redemption.

Daniel: Whoah! Wait a minute, Max. Where does that come from?

Max: Well, Killing Joke was in the seat next to him on his trip back from Ireland and he pitched the idea. Hogan apparently said ‘ I’m not wrestling for a penny-ante, backyard, shoestring operation run by some Mexican gangster out of some swamp-hole in Florida’ - that leaves plenty of room for maneuver!

Daniel: Well, this is the wrestling business – anything could happen, I suppose.

Brock Goodman is helped backstage by paramedics while Stallion celebrates in the middle of the ring and makes title belt gestures to the camera.

[Aperama]

The cameras - and the lights - cut to the video screen..


'Twas the night before christmas..


And all through the house..


Not a creature was stirring..


Not even the.. huh?

El Pollo, dressed in a santa hat, suddenly greets the camera, a sack over his back - only to suddenly get ambushed by Blade LaVigne and Beno, who begin beating down on the chicken, as the voiceover comes back.

December the 23rd - in its home state of Florida - WPW will be.. coming home, for Christmas. So deck the ring with boughs of holly - because we aren't all here to play around!

The view cuts back to El Pollo, who sits up, Santa hat in hand, fake 'black eyes' colored in to accomodate a mess of feathers underneath him for a few seconds before we come back.




The cameras return ringside, to Max and Daniel.

Max: Ladies and gentleman, buckle up your seatbelts because we are ready for the main event!

Daniel: Finally Max, Dan Murph will be recognized as the true WPW Champion.

Max: And if The Killing Joke wins?
Daniel: He won’t. He’s a joke, hence why his name is ‘JOKE’.

Max is just staring at Daniel

Daniel: What?!

Max: Absolutely nothing. Let’s send it to Mina for the introductions!

Bell rings

Mina: It is now time for the WPW When Worlds Colide Main Event! The following contest will be a Two out of Three falls match and is to crown an Undisputed WPW World Heavyweight Champion! The first competitor to score two victories will be the winner.

‘Hearts on Fire’ hits the speakers as the special enforcer David Nicolls makes his way to the ring.

Max: Here’s comes the x-factor in this match. David Nicolls, the special enforcer. Who knows what kind of difference he will make in this match, if any.

Daniel: The only difference David Nicolls can make is at an ice cream store clearing out shop!

Max: You're disgusting.

Mina: Now coming to the ring, he is the special enforcer in this match, David Nicolls!

David is now standing ringside awaiting both champions.

‘What a Shame’ hits the speakers as out comes Dan Murph. His WPW title his securely fastened around his waist. He raises his arms to a barrage of boos from the crowd.

Daniel: All hail Murph! All hail Murph!

Dan struts arrogantly down to ringside continuously motioning and pointing to his belt.

Dan Murph enters the ring, gets on the turnbuckle and then raises his WPW World Title for the crowd to see. He then puts the belt on his shoulder and goes and stands in the corner waiting for his adversary.

The lights then go out as the bell tolls and thunders of ‘Black Sabbath’ erupt throughout the arena.
A bright white spotlight then focuses on the stage as The Killing Joke steps out as the heavy power chord enters in. He is sporting a black and red sleeveless trench coat The Killing Joke then walks menacingly towards the ring. Camera goes to Dan Murph who does not seem intimidated, as Killing Joke has not taken his eyes off of him. Killing Joke then enters the ring as the lights come back on, both champions not blinking.

Mina and Referee Paul Turner who is now holding both belts stand between the two men.

Mina: Introducing first, to my left, he hails from Waterford, Ireland, weighing in tonight at 300 lbs, he is ‘THE’ WPW World Heavyweight Champion, ‘The Irish Assailant’ Daaaaan Murph!

Murph raises his arms to jeers

Mina: Now introducing to my right, he hails from Chuckletown, New Mexico, weighing in tonight at 250 lbs, he is ‘YOUR’ WPW World Heavyweight Champion, The Killiiiiiiiinng Joke!

The referee brings Murph and Killing Joke together, explains the rules and says shake hands. Both men just walk away as the bell rings. Dan Murph then jumps Killing Joke from behind as he was retreating from the handshake. Dan is now whaling on him with punches in the corner. Dan then proceeds to choke the Killing Joke as Paul Turner seperates him. Dan then backs off as Killing Joke is getting up, staring him down.

Max: Murph taking the cheap route starting this match off blindsiding The Killing Joke!

Daniel: It’s not cheap, he is doing anything he needs to in order to gain that first fall!

The two men then lock up in the center of the ring. Headlock by Dan, elbows to the gut, then a hammerlock by Killing Joke. Dan goes to elbow KJ in the head, but KJ ducks it and delivers a Northern Lights Suplex and a cover. He doesn’t even get a One count!

Both men are back up staring each other down. Dan challenges Killing Joke to a Greco-Roman Knuckle lock. Killing Joke slowly obliges. Dan Murph pulls, gaining the advantage, bringing KJ to his knees. Joke gets up and gets the advantage himself. Dan is in pain, but before he can be brought down, he delivers a stiff kick to KJ’s gut. As Killing Joke is kneeling in pain, Dan runs the ropes and delivers a high knee! Murph then mounts Killing Joke and starts to rain down punches on to his opponent. The referee is yelling at Dan to get up and stop using closed fists. Dan just smiles at the referee before then being heel tripped by the Killing Joke. Joke goes and paintbrushes Dan. Both men then get up staring each other down.

Max: Killing Joke giving back to Murph the same humiliation.

Daniel: Humiliation? Please! Dan was choking him. A slap to the head is nothing!

You then hear a headset rattle.

Daniel: Why the hell did you slap me in the head?!

Max: I showed you that a slap to the head is something, not nothing.

Daniel: I want a new broadcast partner.

Back in the ring, Killing Joke whips Dan into the ropes and then looks to back body drop him to the outside of the ring, but Dan lands on the apron. Dan guillotines Killing Joke, and then goes for a shoulder block. Joke catches him and nails a stiff kick to Murph’s chest through the ropes. He holds him and then DDT’s him! Joke stops a second to taunt, allowing Dan Murph to roll out of the ring. Joke then sees this and motions he is gonna fly!

Max: Oh my, look out!

Joke then runs the ropes and is about to leap but Dan moves! Dan flips off Killing Joke. Joke cocks his head in a confused facial expression. He shrugs and then runs and delivers a suicide dive through the ropes!

Max: Dan challenged him, and KJ gladly accepted! To think we potentially still have two more falls!

Referee Paul Turner is starting to count!

Dan then rolls Killing Joke into the ring as he slides in himself.

Dan is now waiting on Killing Joke to get up. He smacks his leg motioning for the Big Boot!
Max: Oh my, Dan is looking to possibly end this fall early.

Dan then runs for the kick, but Killing Joke ducks and grabs Dan into a reverse chancery, Killing Joke then delivers an Elevated Reverse DDT! Killing Joke then delivers a cut-throat taunt! He puts Dan in a sitting position locks in a Cobra Clutch, but turns him over and pulls back!

Max: Oh My! Looks like Killing Joke has locked in his version of Dan Murph’s Black Death!

Daniel: That thieving son of a bitch!

Killing Joke is pulling back as hard as he can! Dan then starts to get up with KJ still having the cobra clutch locked in! Dan delivers three hard elbows to the gut and then delivers to Killing Joke a Punchline DDT!

Max: Punchline DDT! Though to Killing Joke, not Dan Murph!

Max: Neither! We’re going to see the Ass Wipe!

Killing Joke lifts up Dan but Dan counters sliding out, scoops out Killing Joke again and this time connects with The Black Out!

Daniel: Black Out! Black Out! It’s Over!

Dan covers Killing Joke!

Bell rings

Mina: Your winner of the first fall, Dan Murph!

Max: Both men are down again as we are into the second fall of this contest!

Daniel: And Dan Murph, if he wins this match, becomes the Undisputed champion! He's won the psychological advantage, for sure.

Max: Luckily enough there is a brief intermission to allow a fair fight for the second fall... Wait. it appears we have an announcement.

The enforcer grabs the microphone on the outside of the ring by Mina.

Nicolls: Hey Danny boy, I hate to inform you, but Ethan told me that the second fall of this contest would have a special stipulation to it. However, the stipulation would depend on who won the first fall.

So since you won the first fall, the proposed stipulation of a steel cage match is scrapped and instead the proposed match for The Killing Joke, will take place instead.

Bring 'em out boys!

Two WPW workers bring out two very large, almost comically large toy chests. They wheel them down to the ring and they lift one of the chest up and set it down into the ring. Dan looks confused and angry, while KJ has a sick smile on his face.

Max: Oh no...don't tell me...

Nicolls: In case you haven't figured it out, guys, the second fall is a Joke Shop Rules match! Ring the bell!

Daniel: This is not fair!!

KJ reaches into his pocket and then limps over to Murph and wishes him luck in the second fall by extending his hand. Murph without even thinking shrugs and shakes KJ's hand, and then shakes a little bit as KJ's joy buzzer shocks Dan a bit. It seems perspiration and joy buzzers do not mix well for the Waterford mauler.

Max: That looks like it did nothing more but to piss Dan off, though.

Dan shakes off his hand and charges at KJ sending him down to the mat with a clothesline. Dan drops a big elbow to the chest of KJ. Dan holds him down and pulls the joy buzzer off of KJ's hand. Dan gets up and stomps on the chest of KJ and starts to throw the joy buzzer to the fans, until he stops and smirks. Dan places the buzzer on the chest of KJ and then steps on the buzzer with all of his weight and pulls up on the nearby top rope to apply all of his weight on the chest and joy buzzer of KJ. KJ is twitiching a little bit as Dan is laughing a bit.

Daniel: Let it never be said that Murph doesn't have a sense of humor himself.

Max: That's actually a really unique mix of brutality and hilarity all at once.

Dan lets go after a little bit and then kicks the joy buzzer outside of the ring and pulls KJ back up to his feet. Dan Irish whips KJ into the toy chest as the lid flies open. Dan bounces off the opposite rope and goes for a spear but holds up as KJ reaches behind him to pull out a sledgehammer and swings it wildly at at charging Murph.

Max: That's not very funny!

The sledgehammer shot doesn't even phase the charging champion as he spears KJ harder into the side of the chest. As KJ slumps to the mat, Dan grabs the sledgehammer and pulls the foam toy apart.

Max: ...I stand corrected.

Daniel: It seems like The Killing Joke's usual tricks aren't working as they normally do early on in this contest.

Now it appears Dan is looking in the toy chest of doom and finds two giant cymbals. Dan chuckles a bit to himself and props one of the cymbals behind KJ's head, and the other right in front of his head. Dan then lands a big boot right to the front cymbal, clanging both of them together around the head of the World Champ. Dan pulls KJ down for a cover but KJ barely kicks out at 2.

Max: I think we just got a new definition of con-chair-to.

Daniel: Technically I think that'd be closer to the old definition.

Dan decides to skip the toy chest and goes to pick KJ up again, but KJ nails a low blow that staggers Murph back a bit. Murph lunges forward at KJ again, but KJ is ready for him this time. He grabs the front of Murph's trunks and pulls him head first into the side of the toy chest.

Daniel: Good move there to get back in this matchup by KJ. He's got to take a few extra precautions knowing that he is now one fall away from losing.

KJ gets back to his feet and pulls Dan to his feet and lifts him up for a Punchline DDT as Murph's head cracks against the corner of the chest. KJ then heads to the outside and goes to rummage through the other toy chest. He pulls out a mask and what appears to be a rubber pencil, and the mask seems to be a replica of Heath Ledger's Joker mask from The Dark Knight.

Max: Oh man, something tells me I know where this is going.

KJ motions for Nicolls to toss him the microphone. KJ rolls back into the ring throws on the mask and curb stomps Murph right in the face.

KJ: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am tonight's entertainment!

KJ then pulls Murph up, slams down the lid of the chest in the ring and slams his face into the lid.

KJ: See I know I shouldn't start with the head because it makes you all fuzzy...but I couldn't help myself.

Now who wants to see a magic trick?

KJ holds the pencil on the lid of chest and grabs Murph by the scruff of his non-neck. KJ switches hands quickly and slams Murph's head into the lid again as he makes a thrusting motion with the pencil towards the ass of Dan.

KJ: Tada! It's....it's gone!

The crowd looks on in shock as no one is actually sure where the pencil went, because it certainly isn't in KJ's hand anymore. The yes of Murph look very widened with surprise...or maybe it's because he got his head rammed into the lid twice.

Max: Did he just...?

Daniel: I don't even want to know...

KJ then grabs Murph and rolls him up in a schoolboy. Murph kicks out at two and a half. KJ then pulls off the mask and tosses it to the crowd as KJ pulls out two giant boxing gloves from the chest in the ring. KJ starts pummeling Murph as Murph is slowly trying to get to his feet. Murph appears to be able to shake off the blows as the boxing gloves appear to have a lot of padding on them. Murph then reaches up the grab one of the gloves from KJ. KJ pulls away revealing a pair of brass knuckles underneath. KJ smiles and goes for a big swing at Dan, but Dan has the presence of mind to block the shot with the padded glove. Dan then nails a shot to the ribs of KJ, and a second as KJ drops the knucks on the ground Dan slams him to the mat.

Daniel: These two know each other so well, they are even able to anticipate some of the crazy stuff these Joke shop Rules matches bring about.

Max: I swear these matches are usually the toughest to call but the most fun to watch.

Dan decides to kick things up a level and grabs the second chest and carries it into the ring and stacks it right next to the first one. Dan places KJ on top of both chest and lays him out. He grabs some fake barbed wire and ties KJ down to the chests. Murph then grabs the brass knuckles that KJ dropped earlier. Murph then ascends to the second rope and leaps off the turnbuckle going for a jumping fist drop, but KJ sits up as the rubber barbed wire bends and releases him quite easily as Murph punches the top of the chest and pulls his hand away in pain.

Max: Heads up thinking by KJ. I bet he allowed himself to get tied down because he knew he'd be able to get out of it.

Daniel: These are his rules, Max. He knows this stuff better than anyone.

KJ pulls off all the barbed wire and smiles a bit expecting Murph to still be in pain, but it appears Dan may have been playing possum a bit. As soon as KJ stands back up, Dan locks in the Cobra Clutch!

Max: Oh my God! Black Death! That's it! We're gonna have a new champion!

KJ is flailing around as he is trying to walk Dan over to the ropes. KJ grabs onto the top rope but there is nothing the ref can do as there is no DQ in a Joke Shop match. KJ kicks his leg backwards triggering a switch on the second chest Murph brought in as the lid flies open and cracks Murph in the back of the head.

Daniel: Oh my God, what an innovative use of the joke shop chest!

Max: That's the advantage KJ has in these type of matches!

Murph is staggered a lot but doesn't release the hold. KJ moves around enough to grab a banana peel from the chest that was just opened. Dan is regaining his bearings and locks in the Clutch again this time he is really almost choking KJ out. KJ drops the banana peel between his legs as Dan is trying to shake KJ like a rag doll he slips and falls backwards to the mat. KJ bridges himself on the upper corner of the chest to pin Murph's shoulders to the mat. The ref slides over to make the count as Dan locks in the Black Death tighter!

1......................2.......................... 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KJ taps!!!!!!!!!!!

The bell sounds and Murph releases the hold thinking that he's won. Murph gets to his knees and starts screaming to himself until he looks over to Mina, who confers with the referee.

Mina: And the winner of the second fall.. The KILLING... JOKE!

Murph looks incredulous as KJ's arm is raised though he looks the worse for wear.

Max: Wow, the presence of mind by KJ is amazing. Murph had him dead to rights but was able to hold on just long enough to have Dan pin himself.

Daniel: These two are even now at one fall a piece, but it looks like Dan has clearly weakened KJ a lot more than Dan has.

Daniel: Well, I’m being told we have to wait until General Manager, Ethan Frost, comes out here and tells us what the fall is in this already explosive 2 out 3 falls match!

Ethan Frost makes his way through the black curtains and steps out on to the stage, microphone in hand.

Max: Speak of the devil.

Daniel: Couldn’t have put it better myself...

Ethan: I know you two are dying to start tearing each other apart so I’ll cut to the chase and let you in on the little secret about the next fall.

Daniel: I wonder what it could be...Maybe a ladder match...

Max: Or a tables match!

Ethan: For the first time in the history of this company’s historical history...A “Frost First” will come to life in that very ring tonight! Dan Murph VS The Killing Joke, Champion VS Champion...In a Super Bengali Death Tiger Death Cage of Doom And Death Match...

Daniel: What the-

Ethan: ...of Death.

Max: I can’t wait!

A man in a suit runs up to Ethan on stage and whispers something in to his ear, before running back off stage again.

Ethan: Oh. Well, I’m being told the match that you, I, and everyone at home wants to see isn’t technically allowed due to legal reasons. But fear not, friends. I have an even better idea!

He walks down to the ring and calls the referee over who leans over the top rope to listen to what the GM has to say.

Daniel: I wonder what the next fall is going to be, now that the Death Death Doom Doom Death Match isn’t happening. Any ideas, Max?

Max: My money would be on a Bra & Panties match.

Daniel: A few months ago I would have called you an idiot for that, Max. But with Ethan Frost in control, you might just be right.

The ref pulls away from the ropes with a confused look on his face and walks over to Mina, whispering the decided stipulation in her ear.

Ethan: Gentlemen, if you would please go to a neutral corner and wait for the bell to ring.

Daniel: I don’t understand, did he announce the next fall?

Max: I don’t think so...Maybe he forgot!

KJ and Dan stand at opposite corners of the ring, waiting for the news as the referee stands between, both arms extended as if it they held the power to stop a car crash.

Mina: Ladies and Gentlemen...The third fall...At the request of General Manager Ethan Frost is...

Max: Oh, come on. The tension is killing me!

Mina looks to the referee confused but, as he reassuringly nods his head, she continues the announcement.

Mina: ...A 30 minute, Iron-man match!

Max: WHAT!?

Daniel: Oh my god, Max!

The entire arena erupts as the shock announcement hits each row of fans with a wave of excitement. Back in the ring, Murph drops to his knees and looks up at the ceiling while Killing Joke, still at the opposite end of the ring, drops his head in to his hands as both men realise the hell they are about to endure.

Max: This is incredible!

Daniel: I’m not sure whether or not to cheer Ethan or jeer him. This is certainly great entertainment, but you can’t help but question whether or not these two men are physically capable of finishing this match.

Max: I know what you mean, Daniel. Isn’t it great?
The ref calls both men over and yet again holds his arms out to stop them coming to blows. He tries to explain the rules to them both but finds it hard to talk over the loud screaming of the When Worlds Collide crowd.

Daniel: Well as we know, Max, the man who scores the most pin falls or submissions in this 30 minute time limit will win this third fall. Provided that both men somehow manage to make it to the end of this thing, we might just have our soul champion yet!

Murph and KJ walk back to their corners and prepare for the bell to ring as Mina exits the ring.

Max: I’m still in shock, Daniel. A 30 minute Iron Man match? This is going to be awesome!

The ref calls for the bell and a clock and score counter appear on the screens.




Daniel: On your screens you will see the Score Display and Clock, which is rather impressive considering this Ironman idea was announced only a few minutes ago.

Max: Only the best graphics monkeys work for this show, Daniel.

Daniel: Which is even more impressive considering we don’t pay them.

Both men slowly walk towards each other and prepare for a classic “Test of Strength”, but Murph quickly takes advantage and kicks his opponent hard in the gut, knocking him to his knees. Dan follows up the cheap shot by clubbing KJ in the back with his right forearm several times to try and keep him down. KJ rolls over away and crawls towards the turnbuckle where Dan quickly puts a boot straight in to his face. Murph continues the attack by mudhole stomping KJ in the corner, forcing the ref to start the 5 count.

....1....

....2....

....3....

Murph gestures to the referee that he should put a certain body part in a certain place, which didn’t really do him any favours. The ref’s counting seemed to get a little bit faster.

..4..

..5

Dan quickly jumps back holding his hands up in the air, as if it would prove his innocence. He backs off and as KJ gets back on his feet, sets him up for an Irish whip. Dan pushes KJ against the turnbuckle and then whips across the ring, forcing his back to crash against the opposite ring post. He charges towards his opponent, but KJ quickly shoves a boot in the air, forcing Dan to walk right in to it and stagger back. Killing Joke quickly sprints towards Dan and knocks both himself and Murph off their feet with a strong clothesline. Both men lie, out of breath, on them mat but the referee decides not to start a ten count, mainly because Ethan made a point not to before the match.

Daniel: Both men got knocked right off their feet there with that clothesline, and so early on in this match as well. I think it just goes to show how little energy these men have left after the first two falls. And they still have a very long time to go!

KJ rolls an arm over Dan’s chest and the referee slides down to count.

....1....

Daniel: Could be a pin fall early on here, folks.

....2..KICKOUT!

Daniel: Not yet! Murph able to get the shoulder up there before the three count.

KJ wastes no time and quickly gets to his feet, pulling Murph up with him. Dan tries to break free but KJ throws a quick right hand to keep him in place and then delivers a quick, high impact belly to belly suplex. He quickly covers Dan for the second time.

....1...

....2....

..KICKOUT!

Max: So close!

Daniel: I don’t understand where Murph is getting all this energy from to kick out, he’s already been through two gruelling matches.

Max: Well, remember that Killing Joke has done the same!

Daniel: Well...That’s a very good point, Max.

Max: Mina wrote it down for me.

Daniel: Ah, of course.

KJ pulls Dan on to his feet yet again and delivers a quick forearm to the back, setting him up for a suplex. He lifts him in the air but Murph uses KJ’s now weakened grip to reverse the move and drop down behind him before clubbing him in the back of the head with his forearm. KJ staggers away, holding the back of his head in pain but quickly spins and charges at Dan. Murph somehow reacts quickly enough to grab the ring rope, duck down and use his free arm to use KJ’s momentum against him and propel him over the top rope, causing him to crash down on to the hard outside floor.

Max: Oh my god!

Daniel: Killing Joke’s body just came crashing down on the floor like a ton of solid gold bricks!

Murph drops to his knees and rests against the ropes while the ref starts to count out his opponent, who now lies unconscious on the outside.

....1....

....2....

Daniel: KJ looks seriously hurt, folks. He hit the ground hard.

....3....

....4....

Max: It looks like we might have the first point scored right now, Daniel. Killing Joke isn’t showing any signs of life right now!

Daniel: I wouldn’t have said it so excitedly, but you’re right.

....5....

....6....

....7....

....8....

Daniel: There’s not much chance of him getting up now, and Murph knows it. He’s taking the time to have a much-needed rest, especially in a match like this.

....9....

Max: That’s it, Daniel! One more second and Murph has scored the first point of the match!

....10!!!!

Mina: Ladies and Gentlemen, as the result of a count-out, the winner of this fall is Dan Murph!




Daniel: Well, nearly 12 minutes in and Murph is up one to nothing.

Max: So what happens now?

Daniel: Well, there will be a 15 second rest time until the match is underway again.

Max: It looks like the Killing Joke needs more than 15 seconds!

Murph uses the ropes to pull himself back up and rests against the turnbuckle, looking over the top rope at his downed opponent on the ground. KJ starts to regain consciousness and tries to make his way to his feet, grasping the ring apron to help. The bell rings.

Daniel: Well, this one is under way again!

Murph drops to the floor and rolls underneath the bottom rope. He walks over to the still recovering Killing Joke and grabs him by the arm, but KJ pulls away and quickly swings a steel chair, hidden under the ring apron, straight in to the face of Dan Murph.

Daniel: Oh my god!

Max: Chair shot right in the nose!

Daniel: I don’t think the ref even saw it. My god what a shot! Murph looks like he’s out cold.

Killing Joke pulls Murph to his feet and rolls him under the bottom rope and back in to the ring, before following him in himself. The referee looks at the current situation with a confused look on his face, but backs off and lets things pan out. KJ scrambles over to Murph’s unconscious body and covers him, hooking the leg. The ref slides down.

....1....

....2....

....3!!!!

Daniel: Unbelievable! Killing Joke got away with blatantly using an illegal weapon to knock his opponent out! He just stole a point in this crucial fall.

Max: You know what they say, Daniel. It’s only cheating if you get caught, and he didn’t get caught! There for, he played by the rules!

Daniel: That’s just stupid.

Max: So’s your face.

Mina: Ladies and Gentlemen, as the result of a pin-fall, the winner of this fall is the Killing Joke!




Max: Well, with just under 17 minutes left, the score is tied with one point to each champion.

Murph slowly rolls out of the ring and KJ, because of the 15 second rest, can’t do a thing about it. On the outside, Dan tries to regain his composure while KJ circles the ring, waiting for the bell to ring again.

Daniel: It certainly looks like Killing Joke is in control at the moment, Max.

Max: Wait a minute, Daniel...What the hell is Murph doing?

Daniel: It looks like he’s...He’s got a chair!

The bell rings and KJ wastes no time in making his way towards Murph and leans over the top rope, grabbing Murph by the hair. Dan quickly reacts by swinging the chair up and smashing it across the face of his opponent.

Max: What a shot!

Daniel: The ref had to have heard that one...

As KJ falls back first on the mat, holding his nose tightly, the ref quickly runs over to Murph to see the steel chair in his hand. Dan slides the chair in the ring before following it in himself. He quickly picks the chair up again, and before the ref can even call for disqualification, he raises the chair again and brings it straight down across the head of Killing Joke. The ref quickly calls for the bell and tries to take the chair away from Dan, but he pushes the ref off and swings the chair at his opponent again.

Daniel: I’ll tell you something right now, Max. I’ve worked in this business for a very long time, and I still can’t get used to that horrible sound of steel colliding against human skull.

Max: I rather like it...

Murph throws the chair out of the ring and waits for the match to begin again by resting up against the ropes.

Mina: The winner of this fall, as the result of a disqualification...The Killing Joke!




Max: I don’t get it. Why would Dan throw away a fall like that?

Daniel: I’m not sure, Max, but I’m sure that Murph has something up his sleeve.

Max: Like a magician!

Daniel: Umm...Yeah, sure. Why not.

The bell rings again and Murph casually strolls over to KJ, who now rolls around the mat in pain as blood cascades from his nose and lip. Dan puts a straight boot in Killing Joke’s face and the ref quickly warns him for it. He slowly “helps” his opponent to his feet, and starts to throw a few insults before kicking him in the gut. Dan drops to one knee and lifts KJ up in a fireman’s carry, before spinning him and perfectly executing his Cyclone (F-5) finisher.

Max: Cyclone!

Daniel: I think we may have just found out why Dan was so happy to throw that point away. He really weakened Killing Joke down with those sickening chair shots.

Murph quickly covers KJ and hooks the leg for the ref to count.

....1....

....2....

....3!!!!!

The ref calls for the bell and Murph racks up his second point.

Mina: Ladies and Gentlemen, as the result of a pin-fall, the winner of this fall is Dan Murph!




Max: Only 10 or so minutes left in this match and we’re at a tie again! I would say this match could go either way but it looks like Murph has this won.

Daniel: I wouldn’t make any bets on that, Max.

Max: You’re right, Daniel. Anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation!

Daniel: You’re an idiot.

Dan slowly circles his KJ’s body, waiting for him to get back to his feet.

Max: Come on, Dan! The clock is ticking; you don’t have time to waste.

Daniel: Don’t forget these men have already been through two falls and 20 minutes of this iron man match, Max. Perhaps taking your time might be the right way to go about winning this thing.

As Killing Joke slowly makes his way back on his own two feet, Dan bounces off the ring ropes and charges at him, connecting with a shoulder block that knocks KJ off his feet again. Dan puts his boot in the chest of his downed a opponent a few times and then drops a quick elbow right on his chest. He covers him.

....1....

Daniel: This could be another win right here for Dan Murph.

....2....

....KICKOUT!!!

Max: Then again...Maybe not, Daniel.

Murph, frustrated, pulls KJ back on to his feet and lifts him up in to a fireman’s carry position again.

Max: Okay, so maybe it is over...

Killing Joke tries to break free but Dan keeps a tight grip as he calls for the Blackout.

Daniel: Murph could score a very important win here if he pulls this move off.

Dan loosens his grip to execute the move, but KJ breaks free and drops down behind him, quickly delivering a low blow without the ref noticing. He shoves Dan in to the ropes and, as he bounces back, drops down and rolls him up with a School Boy pin, grabbing the tights.

Daniel: He’s got the tights! He’s delivered a cheap low blow and is grabbing the tights, the ref hasn’t seen any of it!

Max: Isn’t it brilliant!

The ref enthusiastically slides across the mat and beings slapping the canvas with his right hand.

....1....

....2....

....3!!!!

Mina: Ladies and Gentlemen, as the result of a pin-fall, the winner of this fall is the Killing Joke!




Daniel: Both men are so desperate to win this match, it looks like the rule book has been torn up and thrown in the fire by this point!

Max: Yeah, and it looks like they want to throw each other in that fire too.

Killing Joke releases Murph and he rolls back on to his feet, before any sort of “rest” break begins, Murph charges and KJ and spears him down on to the canvas where he throws a few mounted punches before KJ sneaks in a poke to the eyes, allowing him to slip free. Dan runs at Killing Joke again, but KJ drops down and trips Dan up with a drop toe hold. He quickly locks Dan in an ankle lock and drags him away from the rope.

Daniel: Ankle lock! The first submission move in this match so far, and it might very well be the only one needed if Murph taps out.

Dan claws at the canvas and gradually pulls himself to the rope, but Killing Joke drags him back to the centre of the ring again.

Max: He’s really got that hold in tight, Murph looks like his eyes are about to pop!

Murph starts to kick furiously with his free leg, to try and break free of the hold and manages to kick KJ in the shin, causing him to drop down to one knee. This allows Dan to get a quick burst of energy and scrambles towards the edge of the ring, leaps and grabs hold of the bottom rope.

Max: Rope break!

KJ refuses to break the hold and the ref starts the 5 count.

....1....

....2....

....3....

Daniel: Killing Joke is going to have to let go of that hold or he might throw this entire match away on a disqualification.

....4....

...KJ finally lets go of Dan’s ankle and, while he’s distracted by the referee’s complaining, Dan quickly charges at him, connecting with a clothesline that knocks him down on the mat. Dan stumbles and falls on his ankle, but uses the ropes to pull himself back up.




Daniel: This match is nearly over!

Killing Joke swings for Dan, but Murph ducks and drops to one knee to lift KJ up in a Fireman’s carry yet again. He swings KJ across and drives him in to the mat with the cyclone (F-5).

Max: Cyclone! Cyclone! Cyclone!

He throws an arm over KJ’s chest and the ref leaps down on the mat to over-enthusiastically slap the canvas again.

....1....

Daniel: Oh my god...

Max: Is he going to get the pin here!?

....2....

Daniel: The time limit is almost up, folks. Dan need to get this pin otherwise this match might be un-winnable.

Max: Is it just me or is the ref counting very slowly?

....Thr-KICKOUT!!!

Daniel: Oh my god!

Max: No way!

The entire crowd is overcome with an incredible sense of “Holy shit” as Killing Joke manages to throw a shoulder in the air, breaking the 3 count.

Daniel: Unbelievable! I guess that just goes to show how much these men want to win this match.




Murph realises the clock is ticking fast and wastes no time in trying to pick up another win before the match ends. He drags Killing Joke to the centre of the ring and locks in the Black Death! (Camel Clutch)

Max: Black Death! Black Death!

Daniel: Killing Joke is in trouble, if he can’t break free of this hold...This match might have to go to sudden death!

The ref slides across the mat and starts questioning The Killing Joke if he wants to submit, but KJ furiously shakes his head, spittle flying all over the place.

Daniel: Maybe he can hold in there...If he can just endure the pain, he might win the damn thing!

Max: It’s impossible, he has to tap!

KJ screams in pain as Murph pulls his grip tighter, but still he refuses to tap.




Tears start to run down the face of both men as the clock gets closer and closer to 0 seconds and the pain for both men grows and grows.

Max: He’s gonna tap!




Daniel: No! He’s holding in there! 10 second god damnit! 10 seconds!

The crowd start to countdown with the clock.

10!


09!


08!


07!


06!


05!


KJ breaks manages to slip one arm free a little bit and tries to reach for the rope but it’s far too far away.


04!


03!


He extends his hand and its starts to shake with strain


Max: Oh my god, he’s going to tap!


02!


01!


KJ throws his arm straight in the air, gripping the air as if it would give him strength.





Daniel: Oh my god! That’s it! It’s over!

Murph lets go of KJ without any force and simply collapses on the canvas, staring up at the ceiling.

Max: What an incredible match...

Daniel: I’m stunned, Max. I’m truly stunned. That was just outstanding!

Killing Joke passes out on the mat, the ref’s attempts to raise his arm in victory are somewhat futile but still symbolic of his win.

Mina: Ladies and Gentleman...The winner of the Ironman contest, and there for winner of this 2 out of 3 falls match...And now the one and only WPW World Heavyweight Champion...THE KILLING JOKE!!!

Dan Murph sits up, and slowly begins to realise what is happening. A real furious look takes over his face, as he turns all red. He quickly stands up, and looks as though hes ready to kills omeone. He walks over to KJ, who is still lying on the mat, the referee tries to hold Dan back, but Dan doesn't try to do anything, he just looks down at the WPW Champion, shaking his head, mouthing "No". Dan turns around, and begins to walk towards the ropes, he stops, takes off his elbow pads, throws them onto the mat, and then exits the ring, through the middle rope, and begins walking up the ramp with his hands on his hips and his head down looking at the floor. Soon he disappears from sight, and the camera pans back on the now, Undisputed WPW Champion, The Killing Joke, who sits up, with both championship belts laying next to him. He stands slowly, and picks up both titles.

Daniel: Wow, what a night!! What an amazing night!! For the first time in almost five months, there is finally only one WPW Champion, and unfortunately for the rest of WPW, his name is the Killing Joke.

Max: What a great match!

Daniel: Most definetly, Max. But now our time is up. Thank you for joining us tonight in Puerto Rico for When Worlds Collide. And hopefully we'll see you on December 23rd for our final show of the year, our Christmas Special!!

Max: That should be fun!!

Daniel: Indeed it should. Until then, I'm Daniel Justice alongside Max Stockton, and this has been WPW When Worlds Collide. Goodnight everybody!!!

The camera remains on the WPW Champion for a few seconds as he exits the ring with both championship belts in hand. The scene fades into the WPW logo, before we slowly fade to black.

[DjM]

Well, the show is FINALLY up.

Congrats to all the winners. Looks like a good show from what I've read so far.

[Gravity]

I'm in between classes right now so I haven't read the whole show, but I've read results and both of my matches.

I am so happy.

Also, triple threat match was ace. Good job Guru.

[Sky Ryder]

>.> awesome show! I've read UP to my match.... and the whole thing was ruined. Can someone remove the segment before my match, as it's also at the END of my match, where it's supposed to be!!

[JasonSilverTX]

Just read the show and honestly, Worth the wait.

I would give a 9/10 and an apology that alot of my in life shit got in the way of helping out, just bad timing on my part when I agreed. Either way I loved the show.

Congrats to KJ on the win over Dan, and sorry Dan for your loss.

Congrats to everyone else also from those who rp'ed to those who helped put everything together.

[HBK619]

This was a show that was a good wait for. Reading through it all, there were only a few things I wanted to point out

Guru: You have a lot of great back and forth action, but you completely mixed up the Daniel and Max role. It just kinda takes away from it a bit, in my opinion.

A very segment light show, but I guess the focus was more on the action in the ring, other than a few ad blimps.

I loved the match between Stallion and Goodman, for obvious reasons. This marks my very first WPW Title shot, ever, so I'm incredibly happy to get that win

The main event was epic, telling three different stories. I saw a great blend, so it was really hard to tell when one writer stopped, and the other began (save for the commentary)

I think this was a great show, and a good chance for us to get back on our feet

[Mr. Hendrickson]

Sal Karver vs. Trent James

Very good match, well written full of back and forth action. I kinda called the way it would end leading into a Triple Threat Match with Gunnar Brian as the roleplay battle kind of warranted this.

Gunnar Brian vs. Sal Karver vs. Trent James

Nice action here as well, felt bad for Gunnar Brian when he lost to The One and then went right into another match against two men. Now all three had been through a battle already and still put forth a good match. I didn't think that Gunnar was going to lose the Championship at the beginning of the show but was shocked when he did. I was hoping to catch the win but I guess I wasn't good enough. I wonder if I will be in the mix still or pushed back down to the Snitsky position once again.

Main Event - Dan Murph vs. Killing Joke

Definitely the best match in the WPW in a while. I liked the many aspects of the match, liked how different writers wrote different falls and yet it had fluidity throughout. I didn't think honestly The Killing Joke should've won that match because Dan had better effort than he did but I am not totally going with the win on a rp basis here moreso a storyline of sorts. Not that he doesn't deserve to win matches but this one in my mind he did not.

Congrats to The Stallion, Silver and Sudden Impact on the wins. I can't wait for the card to get out for the X-Mas Show!

[Gunnar Brian]

Grats to everyone on the wins (and to Hendy aswell, I personally felt the tle was going to you fter the r's, but that was my opinion) and well better luck to all the guys unable to grind out the wins. May have to wait for a proper reiew given my X-mas break begins on the 19th, and so I have coursework to do in the traditional deadline rush, ok 1 piece mostly done but yeah you get the idea.

'll enjoy a full read based on what I've read so far

[legendaryken]

Magnificent! And so totally the right results.....:pipe:
Off to my Xmas party night, so review tomorrow (probably late tomorrow) but I'll just say that I prefer pancakes.:huh:

[Snowman]

Oh yes. That reminds me, Ken.

Nice one Ape :laughing:

Killing Joke Comes Up Big in First-Filled Night
By Andrew Hart

In of the most anticipated shows in WPW's history, Killing Joke and Dan Murph were more than ready to live up to the hype. Seven falls later, WPW gets to drop the curtain on this massive event, perfectly content with perhaps the best main event in the company's history.

As the event progressed, it seemed pretty clear this was going to be a special night. Sal Karver and Gunnar Brian put on a great back and forth opening match to set the tone of the night, and battled to a tie of sorts. The moment Carlos announced the end of the match, it was clear bigger and better things were meant for these two men, something that would become painfully apprarent later on in the night for Gunnar Brian.

While on the subject, Brian's match with The One turned out to be a fantastic grudge match for both men. Brian certainly proved his worth as an elite superstar, and proved why he held the Florida State Championship by near-falling the elite WPW superstar several times. But the returning One was not to be denied his glory, and his Wish You Were Here Moonsault would prove to be the theme of Brian's night.

To no one's surprise, Brian attempted to take the easy way out of fighting both Karver and James in the next match, but WPW simply would not allow such a thing, and Brian was sent back to fight with his title in jeopardy against two of WPW's biggest up-and-comers. The battle that followed was the best one-fall match of the night and established both James and Karver as men to watch in the upcoming months for WPW, especially the latter, who captured singles gold for the first time in WPW with his Spectacle Moonsault on the champ, the second of the night to lose Brian a match.

Titles changing hands would not be one of the many commonalities in WWC on this night. While Sky Ryder proved quite the match for Canadian Champ Jason Silver, the champ would emerge victorious in a match with no loss of excitement, thanks to a plethora of signature moves towards the end of the match, with each man giving the other his best shot two or three times.

Sudden Impact got their hands on the up-and-coming tag team of Mike Corral and Xavier Ray while they waited for their leader to get his chance against the Killing Joke, and continued to establish the Innovators as a force in WPW. Even without Jeremiah in their "ranks", Sudden Impact's cheating ways earned them another victory, but I doubt it's time to count out Corral and Ray just yet.

In a match that could have potentially featured new Florida State Champion Sal Karver, Brock Goodman and The Stallion dueled for their chance to win gold at a future event. With creative use of a pretty little sphere, it was Stallion's night to shine, among others, to earn his first ever WPW World Title shot, something the kid has full potential to win.

Of course, what would follow that match would outshine the entire night. Two out of Three falls was a tall order for the dual World Champs, and after Murph locked down the first fall with The Blackout, The Killing Joke followed suit with an overpowering pin while in devastating pain. At this point, maybe it was clear to Ethan Frost that three pins could not decide this match, and he turned it over to a 30 minute Iron Man match, a first for the company.

Killing Joke's resiliance to pain would prove useful yet again in the Iron Man, especially after Murph snagged the first point with a handy countout fall. Joke was more than ready to even the score, and in true Killing Joke fashion, his blatant use of a steel chair aided him in evening the score. While Killing Joke used it subtly, Dan Murph proceeded with a massive gamble, getting disqualified in hopes of sacrificing a point for a big edge in the rest of the match. He was sadly mistaken, and gave Killing Joke a lead he would never relenquish.

The final iconic moments of WWC featured Killing Joke desperately trying not to tap in an effort to seal the deal on the unifying of the titles. Lord knows what might have happened if he had tapped, adding even more falls to an exhausting match would seem ridiculous. Instead, Killing Joke's power of will turned out to be just enough to cap off an amazing victory in several hard-fought and unique battles. What was witnessed will not soon be forgotten by the WPW faithful, and it's safe to assume that the WWC fallout will not stop anytime soon.

[Gravity]

For the sake of keeping my review by itself, here's just a nice little follow-up post/acceptance speech.

I really really wanna thank Gunnar and Hendy for one of the best RP battles I've ever been a part of. Both of you guys put out some grade-a stuff, and pushed me to do the same. In doing so, this feels like my first quality e-fed win in years, as I did it with no help, and I put out some really good stuff. So thanks to them for pushing me, and thanks to anyone who pushed for me to win. It means a lot to me.

[blade13]

Okay review time, it might to be good but I have to do something...

Tag team title match

Well first of all congrat to all the winners. The tag match was good, it could of gone both way but I think Sudden Impact did a little better. I would of liked to seen Corral and Xaiver as champions though because they were on a roll.

Florida state title and contender match.
I thought the contenders match was kinda of short but it was still good, nice roleplays from both men.
The title match was very close, I wanted Gunnar to keep it (no offense) Sal, but Gunnar was a good champion and I do hope you are too.


World title match
NO! Dan Murph is not our world champion no more. lol, but yeah that match shall go down in history as a great match, I would love to see a rematch. KJ, congrats man, you are the man around here now, and everyone is going to try to capture the title away from you. Goodluck and agian congrats.

I really loved reading the show and ALL of the matches were great.


I want everyone to know that I am sorry for what i did and I won't do it again. I am back and better than ever. :)

[JasonSilverTX]

Wow you REALLY didnt read at all...

[Gravity]

I want everyone to know that I am sorry for what i did and I won't do it again. I am back and better than ever. :)
Or are you?

[blade13]

I am, and i did read it. alright. If there was anything I missed or didnt write it was because of I had to go work.

[legendaryken]

Pass the syrup, blade and make way for the legendaryreview........

Trent James/Sal Karver: Good introduction makes way for an excellent opening match with some nice action and a controversial ending. The cock-push-up gag in the following segment was like the cherry on top of this particularly delicious cake. Yum yum. Love those cock gags.

Silver/Ryder: Yeah, not quite the usual house commentary style but that's OK. Match was reasonable - more RoH than WWE, but I can live with that once in a while. Interesting segment afterwards.

Sudden Impact/Corral Ray: Another very technical match long on wrestling with the commentators doing nothing but 'Oh, good move by Adams there' (when we could all see that it was an illegal punch) Perhaps a little dull but it was the match written quickly to finish the show so to complain is churlish.

Liked the Sky Ryder segment too. Good quality segments throughout really.

Brian/The One: A bit more cut and thrust with some storyline behind it.

Triple Threat: And more storyline! Business.........and I say this in the most uncliched way........is picking up. Exciting stuff and Grav deserves the win. Now thin you signature young man. I can't be bothered scrolling sideways.

Stallion/Goodman: Match of the night!

Oh, apparently I'm not allowed to vote for this one. Generally it's a rule that, if Todd Franklin is refereeing, the match is a cracker, no longer than it needs to be. Strange that.

Title Unification match: Best. Match. Ever.

Nothing more needs said about that, except that I love the Joke Shop Rules match stipulation. Must get round to writing one myself sometime!
Thanks to all involved in that enterprise. It really was excellent.

We still got it, guys!

NO! Dan Murph is not our world champion no more. lol, but yeah that match shall go down in history as a great match, I would love to see a rematch. KJ, congrats man, you are the man around here now, and everyone is going to try to capture the title away from you. Goodluck and agian congrats.

I really loved reading the show and ALL of the matches were great.
