Tuesday Night Turmoil
August 25th, 2009
Edwards Hall
Miami, FL
Max: Hello and welcome to a one hour edition of Tuesday Night Turmoil!
Daniel: We apologise for the abruptness of the show this week, folks, but there's not much we can do about the network scheduling the huge Live Coverage of the Hawaii vs Thailan Water Polo match.
Daniel: Coming up in just a few moments, Sal Karver will take on Mykal Adams.
Max: That is the same Flawless, Inc member, Sal Karver who is one half of the WPW Tag Team Champions and will soon beat The Stallion at Greed for the WPW Championship.
Daniel: Let us not forget Gunnar Brian, he too will challenge The Stallion in our Greed main event.
Max: Who?
Daniel: Gunnar Bri…
Max: Yeah, nobody cares.
Daniel: Are you not going to elaborate on Mykal Adams?
Max: Oh right, he is teaming with Trent James, makes sense. Adams likes the ladies, Trent acts like a lady. We could have a new power couple on the verge.
Daniel: Adams is looking to prove to Sal he needs to be careful at Greed. While Sal seems ready to just move past this match and get at the WPW Championship.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first making his way to the ring, from every woman's fantasy or something, "The Ladies' Man" Mykal Adams.
"Just close your eyes" hits and the lights go yellow as out walks Mykal Adams to the center of the stage dressed in his wresting attire with a black and gold hoodie on. He looks to the crowd, pulls the hood off of his head, spins around, and the pyro goes off from behind him, much like Christian, except without the charisma. He points to the crowd, nodding at several ladies in attendance as he makes his way to the ring. Mykal slides under the ring, goes to the turnbuckle, climbs it and then removes his hoodie. Adams then tosses the hoodie to one of the ladies he deems attractive, only to have a heavyset girl intercept his pass. Mykal just shrugs at the crowd before hopping down from the turnbuckle to await his opponent.
Daniel: Mykal Adams is looking for his biggest win since returning.
Max: No chance.
Daniel: What makes you say that?
Max: He could not even hit his target with that hoodie, and Sal is Flawless.
Mina: And his opponent, he is one half of the WPW Tag Team Champions, representing Flawless, Inc. "Spectacular" Sal Karver!
Embrace by Mission: Black hits and Van Risen steps out on to the stage. He is followed shortly by Sal Karver, as the two proudly show off their titles to Adams, who stands alone in the ring, his partner nowhere to be found. Sal steps into the ring, while Van heads over to the announce table for some guest commentary. Sal poses in the ring with his belt, an arrogant smirk on his face as he does so. He tells Adams he has no prayer against him at Greed, to which Mykal simply smiles and tells him to “wait.”
Max: Here comes the next WPW Champion, finally a man who can bring respect to the belt not seen since James Cassius.
Daniel: Please, all WPW Champions have been worthy, except those exception that people consider unworthy.
Max: Way to toll the company line on that one.
The bell rings and Sal Karver stands in the ropes as soon as Mykal Adams advances towards him. He tells the referee to clear Adams back to let him get ready. Adams nods and backs up as Sal starts to lean away from the ropes and as soon as he does, Mykal moves towards him and Karver ducks back. Mykal seems to be growing annoyed now but the referee keeps him back. Finally Mykal turns around, trying not to get too frustrated by his opponent. Karver takes advantage with a forearm shot to the back of the head, knocking Mykal down to a knee. He then follows up with a hard kick to the upper back, and drops and elbow down the back of his head, keeping it in there after, driving the joint into the back of his opponent’s head.
Max: This is great strategy to start the match by Karver.
Daniel: All he is doing is cheating.
Van: He is doing what we do best, being superior to everyone, including the official.
Max: Exactly, makes things more exciting later on.
Karver picks up Adams and whips him into the corner. He runs in after him and hits a clothesline before whipping Adams to the opposite corner. Adams hits hard and bounces back into the turnbuckles. Karver charges after him again but this time eats a back elbow to the jaw. Mykal goes to follow up but Karver hits him with a thumb to the eye followed quickly by a head lock to cover up his bending of the rules. Karver throws several punches to the head of Adams as he pulls him down to the mat, with the headlock still synched in.
Daniel: Karver is really stretching the rules here tonight.
Max: He is not, the rules are being obeyed, Karver is Flawless.
Van: See Max gets it.
Daniel: All I say is a man bending the rules.
Karver yells for Adams to just give in, but Mykal instead starts to stand up. Karver screams that Adams is pulling his hair and as the referee goes to check, he rakes the eyes of Adams and lets him go. Adams pleads for the official to admonish Karver but he refuses, not having scene a thing. Karver then takes him down with a swinging neckbreaker. He drops an elbow to follow up and goes for a cover…
One…
Two…
Adams kicks out.
Van: What a shock, the incompetent official with a slow count.
Daniel: Are you accusing the referee of something?
Max: I believe he is.
Van: Clearly WPW is so desperate to find challengers for us that they have to cheat to make them look credible.
Sal picks him up and whips Mykal into the ropes. Mykal comes back and hits him with a cross body…
One…
Two…
Karver kicks out shortly after the two.
Van: See, the referee tried a fast count there.
Daniel: I saw no difference on that one.
Max: Because you are blind to the injustices going on around here.
Adams and Karver both get to their feet and begin to exchange blows. Karver’s seem to be a bit more effective at first, but then Adams ducks a shot and hits a standing drop kick. Karver falls to the mat and Adams goes for the cover…
One…
Two…
Karver again kicks out.
Van: See, not even a crooked official can stop a Flawless man.
Max: There is no way you two walk away without all the gold at Greed.
Van: It is inevitable. After Greed, Flawless Inc will be the most dominant group ever to grace WPW.
Daniel: What about Royalty?
Van: What about those overrated losers?
Daniel: My are you not the little words smith.
Van: You suck.
Max: Sometimes the simplest things are the wisest ones.
Both men stand up and again start to exchange blows. This time Karver cuts things short by grabbing a fist full of Adams hair drawing the attention of the referee. With the referee focused on him, Karver lifts up his leg with a mule kick, only to find nothing but air. He turns around trying to figure out what happened when suddenly Adams rolls him up…
Daniel: Hey where is Van going?
One…
Max: He is just looking to get a closer view of the action is all.
Two…
Van Risen reaches in and grabs Sal’s foot to place it on the ropes and yells for the referee to stop the count.
Daniel: Oh come on now!
Max: Sal is trying, but Adams is not making it easy. Does he not understand that Sal is better?
Adams pulls up Karver, who motions to Van. Van Risen heads over by Mina and the timekeeper as Adams whips Karver into the ropes. Karver ducks a clothesline attempt and slides out of the ring. Adams leans in through the ropes to get after him only to pull back just in time as Van misses him with an attempted shot from one of the Tag Team Championship belts. As this is happening, Karver slides into the ring behind Mykal and motions for him to turn around. As Karver is making the motion, Mykal turns and immediately drops Sal with the Love, Gun, Stun. Mykal makes the cover, hooking the leg in the process as he stares right at Van Risen…
Daniel: Apparently not, because Sal just got hit by the Love, Gun, Stun!
One…
Max: Please, he cheated, he clearly used some type of mind trick or poison or…
Two…
Three…!!
Daniel: Or he overlooked Adams, and it cost him this match.
Max: No way, Adams had to have cheated some how.
Mina: Here is your winner, “The Ladies’ Man” *tee hee…hee…hee…ironic* Mykal Adams!
Daniel: What did he pay off Van to screw up like that?
Max: Are you accusing Flawless Inc of making a mistake?
Daniel: They clearly just did out there, did you not see it?
Max: That was not a mistake, just part of their plan to further Adams’ humiliation at Greed.
Daniel: Whatever you say. Either way Mykal Adams just picked up a ton of momentum for he and Trent James, wherever he may be, heading into Greed.
Daniel: Up next, the Canadian Championship is on the line.
Max: A week early no less!
Daniel: Well, in a preview for their tag team match, Van Risen and T-Dog will go one on one
Max: With a different belt on the line!
Mina: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the WPW Canadian Championship!
“You Know My Name” hits the speakers, and T-Dog emerges from the back. OBG accompanies him to the ring. The two men pound fists, then T-Dog rolls into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle.
Mina: Introducing first the challenger: Being accompanied to the ring by Omar “Bona-Fide” Gibson, weighing in at 250 pounds… T-Dog!
Max: Looks like the dog travels in packs
Daniel: The challenger T-Dog hopes to wrestle away one title from Van Risen tonight
Max: A week before he could get another
“No Fear” plays, and Van Risen makes his way through the curtain. Sal Karver is right behind him, rubbing the shoulders and patting his friend on the back. Van Risen hands his Florida and Tag belts to Karver to hold, then slides into the ring.
Mina: And his opponent: Being accompanied to the ring by Sal Karver, weighing in at 240 pounds, he is the WPW Florida, Tag Team, and Canadian Champion… Van Risen!
Max: Look who else gets a little help from their friends?
Daniel: These two teams have shown a lot more understanding of each other, and are looking to help each other out when needed
The two wrestlers begin to circle one another in a textbook manner, no mind games, just simply wrestling. Eventually the two do lock up and Risen gets the advantage after a slight struggle. He holds down on T-Dog’s head in lock and keeps it there. T-Dog falls to one knee and then back up before breaking the hold and pulling Risen arm behind his head. Now Risen squirms, but it isn’t long before he is free. He spins around behind T-Dog, T-Dog turns to continue but Risen pulls out an armdrag that throws T-Dog over his shoulder and to the ground in front of him. T-Dog runs in again and the same occurrence happens.
Daniel: Van Risen seems to be getting the upper hand early on
Max: But don’t count T-Dog out of it just yet
T-Dog charges again, but feints and stops moments before he hits Risen. Risen drops and spins as if T-Dog were there and T-Dog seizes, dropping a giant knee onto his exposed back. Risen arches up and T-Dog now has the advantage, keeping his knee in Risen back, he then clutches onto his neck and pulls upwards. Eventually Risen grabs onto T-Dog’s foot and swings himself at the same time, knocking him off his back and them both down. OBG and Sal Karver cheer on their partners from ringside.
Max: Nothing like a little teamwork support
Daniel: Neither man wants to see his partner suffer an injury a week before their title match
Max: At least it’d be one team down that they didn’t have to worry about
Risen quickly stands but T-Dog grabs his right leg and pulls it out from under him. As the champion falls, T-Dog holds onto the leg before dropping an elbow to the knee joint of Van Risen. He tries to snap in a leglock, but Risen places his boot on T-Dog’s face and pushes him off. T-Dog gets to one knee as Risen quickly stands and moves up beside him to lock in a side headlock. He struggles before pushing himself out of the back of the headlock, then looking his opponent in the eyes as he turns around.
Daniel: Here comes the stare down
Max: The most intimidating move in professional wrestling
T-Dog begins saying something at Risen but he doesn’t say a word back, but instead sends his elbow right into his opponents teeth.
Max: See? Silence is powerful
T-Dog reaches up to grab his mouth in pain as Risen steps forward and head butts T-Dog, he then steps backwards and shakes his head. He turns around dizzily as T-Dog hits him with another forearm blow to the chest, then Irish whips him back into the ropes. Risen hits the ropes, but holds onto them as T-Dog begins to charge. Risen falls right up and over the ropes and crashes to the ground below.
Daniel: Van Risen takes a tumble to the outside
Max: And he’s got a few friends out there waiting to help
Sal Karver heads over to Van Risen, crouching over him and trying to help him back to his feet. As Karver helps up Risen, OBG makes his way over. Sal Karver releases the hold, and steps in-between Risen and OBG, blocking his path. Van Risen slides back into the ring, as Karver and OBG confront each other.
Daniel: That could have been bad for Van Risen if Omar Gibson got his way
Max: The power of friendship
T-Dog charges at Van Risen with a punch to the face and follows it up with an elbow from his left arm. He staggers and T-Dog steps forward to headbut him in retaliation. Risen, out of confusion, grabs T-Dog’s arm and whips him into the ropes, but his head still ringing he doesn’t react in enough time to T-Dog charging at him with a hard running clothesline bringing Van Risen down.
Daniel: Van Risen seems a bit dizzy by those head butts
Max: Doesn’t look like he’s transferring the damage the right way
Daniel: And T-Dog is right on to take advantage
T-Dog begins to stomp a grounded champion before picking him back up to his feet. T-Dog moves in to punch but Van ducks. T-Dog raises a knee to Risen chest as he ducks, then grabs him and lifts him up in a suplex, but Risen blocks the move. Risen reaches down to pull T-Dog up to his feet. T-Dog struggles as he’s lifted, but Risen quickly grabs T-Dog around the waist from the side. He pauses for a moment then hits a belly to belly suplex on T-Dog. Both men are down, and Karver and OBG slaps the mat for encouragement.
Daniel: Both these men are getting knocked silly out there
Max: A good way to win a belt, I’d say
Both men very slowly make their way back to their feet. As soon as both men stand, they begin trading blows. The punches begin to build up steam, with Van Risen coming out on top with bigger hits. Van knocks T-Dog dizzy, then charges into the ropes. As Risen comes running back, T-Dog lifts his knee to the gut, toppling Risen over and knocking him down to the mat.
Daniel: The wind was taken out of Risen.
Max: It looks like the tide is turning
T-Dog is on his feet, asking Van Risen to get back to his. He begins slapping at his thigh begging Risen to stand back up. As soon as Risen stands, he turns into The Truth Hurts pedigree from T-Dog. T-Dog makes the cover.
Daniel: The Truth Hurts, out of nowhere!
Max: We have a new champion!
One…
Two…
Three…
Sal Karver grabs the referee, and pulls him out of the ring. The referee lands on his feet, and begins yelling at Sal Karver. Karver insists that it was an accident, explaining that he got excited when slapping the mat.
Daniel: T-Dog could have won the Canadian Championship if it weren’t for Sal Karver
Max: Partners gotta stick together
Daniel: It looks like it!
Sal Karver looks up from arguing with the referee, to see OBG charging up the ring steps, and flying into Sal Karver. The referee rolls back into the ring, as Karver and OBG begin to brawl on the outside, throwing rights and lefts.
Max: Looks like the outside help is trying to take each other out!
T-Dog looks over the ropes on the outside, trying to figure out what is going on. With T-Dog distracted, Van Risen hits a school-boy rollup.
One…
Two… Van Risen grabs the tights
Three…
Mina: Here is your winner, and STILL WPW Canadian Champion… Van Risen!
Daniel: Van Risen stole that one to help his title
Max: He took advantage of the situation
Daniel: I can surely bet that T-Dog and OBG will be looking for revenge at Greed!
Daniel: Welcome back! Up next we'vee got Killing Joke versus The Stallion but I think that it's being used mainly as a warm-up for Greed. What do you think, Max?
Max: I think you're right for once, Daniel. Killing Joke may struggle tonight as I think his eye is off the ball. He's been gearing up for his fight against Scorch next week for the past month and Scorch made very short work of Blade Lavigne earlier tonight in one of our pre-show matches.
Daniel: Yes, you would think that result would 'bring back the smile' to Scorch, but it just wasn't there. He's focussed on beating The Killing Joke and the Killing Joke is focussed on beating Scorch.
Max: It's a long time since there was a smile on Scorch's face. He once sat through an entire Killing Joke promo taping session with a face like a Bloodhound with piles and, you gotta admit, the hall of Famer might inhabit a different universe from the rest of us, but he's got a few zingers that he pulls out from time to time.
Daniel: Well, let's hope that he obliges in the run-up to Greed, but before that, he had better not forget the very real threat he faces in Stallion next.
Max: I agree, Daniel. And by that I mean "breasts.
Daniel: What? Oh.. Mina.
Mina: Ladies and gentlemen the following match is scheduled for one fall and is a non-title contest!
Daniel: Folks, welcome back to Tuseday Night Turmoil!
Max: And looks who's in the ring, Daniel, it's everyone's favourite form Wold Champion/Presidential Candidate/Child Molsester; The Killing Joke!
Mina: Introducing first... From Chuckletown, New Mexico... Weighing in at 250lbs... This... Is... The Killing Joke!
Chants start to boo heavily until the former World Champion reaches down in to his trunks suggestively and gives a threatening "I'll put out my genitals if you don't cheer" look. At that point, the fans for some strange reason cheer for Joke.
Mina: And his opponent...
That some-what popular cover of "Take on Me" by Reel Big Fish begins hits and the crowd goes crazy.
Mina: From Dallas, Texas...
Stallion's usual energy packed entrance is nowhere to be seen as the flights flash on and off and the fans get louder and louder.
Mina: Weighing in at 215lbs...
The black curtain twitches.
Mina: He is the curent reigning WPW World Heavyweight Champion...
The WPW champion springs out from the back as the crowd jump to their feet and cheer madly to the point where their throats start to dry up.
Mina: This... Is... The Stallion!
The champs sprints down the ramp, slapping the hands of every fan on the way and sending them all back in to a frenzy of cheers before sliding in to the ring. He quickly hops up and climbs the nearest turnbuckle, for some reason spinning his wrists in some strange motion to the music. He then pulls off his Stallion shirt - avaliable at concession stands in the lobby - and throws it in to the crowd before jumping back down off the turnbuckle.
Max: Well if you ask me, Stallion seems a little confused...
Daniel: I guess you're talking about what he had to say this week, and in that respect I suppose you're right. Stallion does seem to think that The Killing Joke is asking for forgiveness this week, and I think he might be in for a bit of a surprise! KJ made it perfectly clear that he feels he is above something as petty as forgiveness.
Max: Actually I meant he was a flaming homosexual but good point.
Referee Mike Posey calls for the bell and before Stallion wastes no time, sprinting towards Killing Joke straight away and taking him down to the mat with a spear straight to the mid-section. The fans pop as their World Champion climbs on top of Joke and throws straight right and left hands to his temporal lobes. Ref posey tries to pull Stallion off of the grounded Killing Joke and warns him about his closed punches. This inadvertently acts as a distraction, one that lasts for KJ to get to his feet and deliver a Spear of his own, aimed directly at the Stallion.
Daniel: This match is off to an explosive start! Stallion trying to make an impactful point at the start of this one but the distraction from Mike Posey unfortunately allowed his rival in KJ to get the better of him there.
Just as Stallion had done to him mere seconds ago, Killing Joke mounts his opponent and starts aggressively throwing punches direct to his head. Posey, again just like before, threatens a disqualification and tries to break up the brawl. KJ, this time without a World Title around his waist, has nothing to gain from a disqualification or count-out so unmounts The Stallion and innocently throws his hands in the air. Stallion springs on to his feet and tries to charge at KJ but ref Posey throws his arms out and stands between the two, warning them to go back to their corners.
Daniel: It looks like the referee is taking charge in this one, Max. He's really enforcing the rules, perhaps he doesn't want Killing Joke to take advantage of him.
Max: Ha ha ha ha.
Daniel: What?
Max: Rape...
Posey steps out of the way and the two march towards each other, ready for a lock-up. Joke goes for a collar-elbow tie-up but The Stallion ducks this and makes his way to back of KJ before putting him in a Belly To Back Waistlock.
Daniel: There you see the quickness and agility of our champion coming in to play right there!
After a few seconds of stuggling, Stallion has the hold locked in, seemingly securely, but is broken moments later after a strong elbow to the head from Joke. The Stallion stagger backwards and rests up against a nearby corner of the ring.
Max: Aaaaaand there you see the strength of The Killing Joke coming in to play.
Joke makes the short distance over to the Champion and drives a knee straight to his gut to help him keep control, before pushing him up against the turnbuckles again and Irish Whipping him across the ring to the other corner. Almost instantly, KJ runs after him and manages to stay a few paces behind him so he can hit a Stinger Splash, but isn't far away enough to pull off in the event that Stallion counters the set-up. Unfortunately for Joke, that's exactly what happens. As The Stallion meets the corner, he grabs the rope rope with his hands and pushes him self up before propelling backwards over the charging Killing Joke. KJ is able to turn quickly so back takes the damage, but he still slams in to the corner and, as he bounces back, The Stallion catches him in release Arm Drag that brings him down on to the mat. The champ takes a moment to rattle the top rope and draws the crowd in to a frenzy as he stamps his feet on the canvas.
Daniel: Nice counter there from the champion, and the fans loved it.
Max: Ah. But you're forgetting that these fans are mentaly challenged, Daniel.
The Stallion makes his way over to the grounded Killing Joke and attempts to put him in an armbar, but KJ smashes on the head with his free forearm which causes the champion to stagger back against the ring ropes where he rests in an attempt to recover from that surprise shot.
Max: Perhaps young Stale One should stop trying to pander to the fans and focus on the match!
Daniel: I hate to say it but you might be right, Max... If Stallion hadn't let go of the arm to celebrate with the fans, Killing Joke would be in an armbar right now.
Max: Well, I dunno about that. Something tells me KJ would still have been awesome enough to escape.
Killing Joke makes it to his feet and sprints straight towards The Stallion who thinks fast and pulls down the bottom rope, sending KJ flying over the top but the veteran in Killing Joke is smart enough to grab hold of the ropes and hang on to save him from crashing on to the lighly padded concrete below. Thinking that his opponent is out cold on the outside, The Stallion goes to take a risk and makes his way over to the turnbuckle post but is soon brought to realise Killing Joke is now on the ring apron as KJ rattles the top rope to get his attention. The champion charges at Killing Joke but instead of hitting some offense, he runs straight in to a hard clothesline from Joke that sends him backflipping. Killing Joke climbs the turnbuckles that the Stallion tried to climb just seconds ago and when he reaches the top rope, await the Stallion to get to his feet. The Champion gets to his feet and staggers about before turning around and walking straight in to a flying cross-body from the 250lbs Killing Joke. Joke stays on top of Stallion and hooks his leg, calling for Mike Posey to dive on to the canvas and start counting... One! Two! Stallion throws a shoulder up to break the count.
Daniel: My gawd, did you see that cross-body?
Max: Of course I did, Daniel. In fact, I took a picture of it with my WPW Disposable Camera which are, incidentally, available at concession stands in the arena lobby.
Daniel: Smooth, Max. Real smooth.
Killing Joke "helps" Stallion up on to his feet and follows it up by driving a not-so-friendly knee straight to his gut, causing Stallion falls against the ring ropes. Joke pushes him against the ropes and uses the momentum to Irish Whip him across the ring to the ropes on the other side. Stallion naturally bounces off them and, on the rebound, KJ swings for a clothesline but Stallion ducks it and bounces off the ropes yet again and this time flies through the air and connects with a Flying Forearm Smash on the rebound. The champion makes marches over to The Killing Joke but, as he reaches for his neck, KJ pulls him Stallion in and delivers a painful low-blow to the groin that goes completely un-noticed by referree Mike Posey. Joke stumbles to his feet and leans against the ropes, using the momentum to charge towards a kneeling Stallion, driving a running knee straight in to his skull.
Daniel: Oh my god... Was that a Spark!?
Max: I think it was! Killing Joke just hit The Stallion with one of Scorch's trademark moves; I love it!
Daniel: Perhaps payback for Scorch using Joke's finishing move last week, Max. But will this do as much good as it did for Scorch? Will this mean a victory for the Killing Joke?
KJ dives on top of the Stallion and covers him for a pin attempt, Posey slides across the mat and slaps the canvas. One! Two! Stallion kicks his feet up in the air and breaks the pinfall.
Daniel: I have to say, Max... The Stallion isn't doing this great so far.
Max: That's 'cause he sucks, natch.
Daniel: I don't think it's that, Max. I mean. You have to question what's on The Stallion's mind tonight. Is his head truly in the game for this match? Or is he thinking about that huge title defence at WPW Greed?
Max: Or is he thinking about what Mina Henderson would look like dressed as Pikachu?
Daniel: Actually that's just you, Max.
Max: Nice little pair of yellow hot pants, some face paint and some furry ears. Yeah. That's the trick.
The champion rolls away from The Killing Joke and rolls under the bottom rope, dropping harshly on the outside. He uses the crowd barrier to pull himself up and rests for a few seconds before attempting to re-enter the ring. But before he can, the Killing Joke uses the ring ropes to dive out of the ring in a Vaulting Body Press and come flying towards the Champion. Luckily for the Stallion, he realises this in time and quickly rolls out of the way causing KJ to crash down on the lightly padded concrete below.
Daniel: Oh my god! What a sickening thud that was!
Max: Wait, what!? What did I miss??
Daniel: Well- .. What the hell were you doing that you missed that?
Max: ...Checking my calendar.
Daniel: You were trying to find out when Halloween is, weren't you?
The champion takes a few moments to recover before getting to his feet and pulling The Killing Joke up, but when he does he drags him over to the ring apron and tries to roll him under the bottom rope. However, Joke quickly throws a sharp elbow at The Stallion before grabbing him by the neck and quickly slamming him face-first in to the ring apron. He then almost instantly Irish Whips the champion so he collides back-first in to the solid steel steps at ringside before grabbing him by the neck again and rolling him in to the ring.
Daniel: Boy, if our champ wasn't in trouble before then he is now.
KJ quickly covers Stalion again in a pin attempt, Mike Posey counts. One. Two. Thr- Stallion throws a boot up on the bottom rope.
Max: You gotta be kidding me!
Daniel: He may be in trouble, but our champion is still fighting strong. Look at the dedication and heart of this damn kid.
Max: Well if he doesn't get his rear in gear sometime soon then KJ might just show us what Stallion's heart really looks like when he tears it out!
Daniel: Rather dramatic of you, Max.
Max: Why thank you.
Killing Joke takes a few moments to argue with Posey before "helping" The Stallion up and resting him against the ring ropes. He Irish Whips him across the ring and charges at the rebounding champion but runs straight in to a Diving Forearm Smash out of nowhere! The two spring to there feet and charge at each other again, only for The Stallion to connect with a Flying Clothesline. When Joke gets to his feet, he walks directly in to an Arm Drag from the quick-thinking champion.
Daniel: He's fighting back! The champ is fighting back!
Killing Joke rolls over to the ropes and tries to pull himself up but the champion makes marches over and is quick to throw lefts and rights just about everywhere, knocking the wind completely out of him. Ref Posey pulls the Champion off and he lets up quickly but almost instantly connects with a Dropkick straight to the chest of The Killing Joke. The Stallion drags KJ in to position before point to the turnbuckle and calling for his finishing move, the Showdown Moonsault.
Daniel: This could be it! Stallion could win this one right here!
By the time the Champion makes it to the top rope, several members of the crowd are already chanting "Super-human come back!" but it doesn't phase either men as The Stallion leaps through the air in a moonsault.. Only to be caught in mid-air by the Killing Joke! KJ quickly attempts a Snake Eyes on to the turnbuckle corner but The Stallion struggles out of his grasp and rops down behind him. He quickly turns Joke around and delivers a swift kick to the gut before pushing him down in between his legs and lifting him up in a Crucifix. He rotates around to face the center of the ring and drives the 250lbs straight in to the canvas with his trademark Razord's Edge manouver.
Max: Oh no! And I thought KJ had this one in the bag!
Daniel: I didn't doubt our champion for one minute!
The Champ doesn't even attempt to cover Killing Joke but instead climbs up to the top-rope again and hits his Showdown Moonsault for extra credit.
Daniel: The Showdown! The Showdown!
He covers KJ and hooks a leg, calling for Posey to slide across the canvas and count again. One! Two! Three!!!
Daniel: Deja Vu, Max! Deja Vu! The Stallion has just beaten The Killing Joke again, god damn it!
Mina Henderson: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match... The Stallion!!!

Tuesday Night Turmoil
August 25th, 2009
Edwards Hall
Miami, FL
Max: Hello and welcome to a one hour edition of Tuesday Night Turmoil!
Daniel: We apologise for the abruptness of the show this week, folks, but there's not much we can do about the network scheduling the huge Live Coverage of the Hawaii vs Thailan Water Polo match.
Daniel: Coming up in just a few moments, Sal Karver will take on Mykal Adams.
Max: That is the same Flawless, Inc member, Sal Karver who is one half of the WPW Tag Team Champions and will soon beat The Stallion at Greed for the WPW Championship.
Daniel: Let us not forget Gunnar Brian, he too will challenge The Stallion in our Greed main event.
Max: Who?
Daniel: Gunnar Bri…
Max: Yeah, nobody cares.
Daniel: Are you not going to elaborate on Mykal Adams?
Max: Oh right, he is teaming with Trent James, makes sense. Adams likes the ladies, Trent acts like a lady. We could have a new power couple on the verge.
Daniel: Adams is looking to prove to Sal he needs to be careful at Greed. While Sal seems ready to just move past this match and get at the WPW Championship.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first making his way to the ring, from every woman's fantasy or something, "The Ladies' Man" Mykal Adams.
"Just close your eyes" hits and the lights go yellow as out walks Mykal Adams to the center of the stage dressed in his wresting attire with a black and gold hoodie on. He looks to the crowd, pulls the hood off of his head, spins around, and the pyro goes off from behind him, much like Christian, except without the charisma. He points to the crowd, nodding at several ladies in attendance as he makes his way to the ring. Mykal slides under the ring, goes to the turnbuckle, climbs it and then removes his hoodie. Adams then tosses the hoodie to one of the ladies he deems attractive, only to have a heavyset girl intercept his pass. Mykal just shrugs at the crowd before hopping down from the turnbuckle to await his opponent.
Daniel: Mykal Adams is looking for his biggest win since returning.
Max: No chance.
Daniel: What makes you say that?
Max: He could not even hit his target with that hoodie, and Sal is Flawless.
Mina: And his opponent, he is one half of the WPW Tag Team Champions, representing Flawless, Inc. "Spectacular" Sal Karver!
Embrace by Mission: Black hits and Van Risen steps out on to the stage. He is followed shortly by Sal Karver, as the two proudly show off their titles to Adams, who stands alone in the ring, his partner nowhere to be found. Sal steps into the ring, while Van heads over to the announce table for some guest commentary. Sal poses in the ring with his belt, an arrogant smirk on his face as he does so. He tells Adams he has no prayer against him at Greed, to which Mykal simply smiles and tells him to “wait.”
Max: Here comes the next WPW Champion, finally a man who can bring respect to the belt not seen since James Cassius.
Daniel: Please, all WPW Champions have been worthy, except those exception that people consider unworthy.
Max: Way to toll the company line on that one.
The bell rings and Sal Karver stands in the ropes as soon as Mykal Adams advances towards him. He tells the referee to clear Adams back to let him get ready. Adams nods and backs up as Sal starts to lean away from the ropes and as soon as he does, Mykal moves towards him and Karver ducks back. Mykal seems to be growing annoyed now but the referee keeps him back. Finally Mykal turns around, trying not to get too frustrated by his opponent. Karver takes advantage with a forearm shot to the back of the head, knocking Mykal down to a knee. He then follows up with a hard kick to the upper back, and drops and elbow down the back of his head, keeping it in there after, driving the joint into the back of his opponent’s head.
Max: This is great strategy to start the match by Karver.
Daniel: All he is doing is cheating.
Van: He is doing what we do best, being superior to everyone, including the official.
Max: Exactly, makes things more exciting later on.
Karver picks up Adams and whips him into the corner. He runs in after him and hits a clothesline before whipping Adams to the opposite corner. Adams hits hard and bounces back into the turnbuckles. Karver charges after him again but this time eats a back elbow to the jaw. Mykal goes to follow up but Karver hits him with a thumb to the eye followed quickly by a head lock to cover up his bending of the rules. Karver throws several punches to the head of Adams as he pulls him down to the mat, with the headlock still synched in.
Daniel: Karver is really stretching the rules here tonight.
Max: He is not, the rules are being obeyed, Karver is Flawless.
Van: See Max gets it.
Daniel: All I say is a man bending the rules.
Karver yells for Adams to just give in, but Mykal instead starts to stand up. Karver screams that Adams is pulling his hair and as the referee goes to check, he rakes the eyes of Adams and lets him go. Adams pleads for the official to admonish Karver but he refuses, not having scene a thing. Karver then takes him down with a swinging neckbreaker. He drops an elbow to follow up and goes for a cover…
One…
Two…
Adams kicks out.
Van: What a shock, the incompetent official with a slow count.
Daniel: Are you accusing the referee of something?
Max: I believe he is.
Van: Clearly WPW is so desperate to find challengers for us that they have to cheat to make them look credible.
Sal picks him up and whips Mykal into the ropes. Mykal comes back and hits him with a cross body…
One…
Two…
Karver kicks out shortly after the two.
Van: See, the referee tried a fast count there.
Daniel: I saw no difference on that one.
Max: Because you are blind to the injustices going on around here.
Adams and Karver both get to their feet and begin to exchange blows. Karver’s seem to be a bit more effective at first, but then Adams ducks a shot and hits a standing drop kick. Karver falls to the mat and Adams goes for the cover…
One…
Two…
Karver again kicks out.
Van: See, not even a crooked official can stop a Flawless man.
Max: There is no way you two walk away without all the gold at Greed.
Van: It is inevitable. After Greed, Flawless Inc will be the most dominant group ever to grace WPW.
Daniel: What about Royalty?
Van: What about those overrated losers?
Daniel: My are you not the little words smith.
Van: You suck.
Max: Sometimes the simplest things are the wisest ones.
Both men stand up and again start to exchange blows. This time Karver cuts things short by grabbing a fist full of Adams hair drawing the attention of the referee. With the referee focused on him, Karver lifts up his leg with a mule kick, only to find nothing but air. He turns around trying to figure out what happened when suddenly Adams rolls him up…
Daniel: Hey where is Van going?
One…
Max: He is just looking to get a closer view of the action is all.
Two…
Van Risen reaches in and grabs Sal’s foot to place it on the ropes and yells for the referee to stop the count.
Daniel: Oh come on now!
Max: Sal is trying, but Adams is not making it easy. Does he not understand that Sal is better?
Adams pulls up Karver, who motions to Van. Van Risen heads over by Mina and the timekeeper as Adams whips Karver into the ropes. Karver ducks a clothesline attempt and slides out of the ring. Adams leans in through the ropes to get after him only to pull back just in time as Van misses him with an attempted shot from one of the Tag Team Championship belts. As this is happening, Karver slides into the ring behind Mykal and motions for him to turn around. As Karver is making the motion, Mykal turns and immediately drops Sal with the Love, Gun, Stun. Mykal makes the cover, hooking the leg in the process as he stares right at Van Risen…
Daniel: Apparently not, because Sal just got hit by the Love, Gun, Stun!
One…
Max: Please, he cheated, he clearly used some type of mind trick or poison or…
Two…
Three…!!
Daniel: Or he overlooked Adams, and it cost him this match.
Max: No way, Adams had to have cheated some how.
Mina: Here is your winner, “The Ladies’ Man” *tee hee…hee…hee…ironic* Mykal Adams!
Daniel: What did he pay off Van to screw up like that?
Max: Are you accusing Flawless Inc of making a mistake?
Daniel: They clearly just did out there, did you not see it?
Max: That was not a mistake, just part of their plan to further Adams’ humiliation at Greed.
Daniel: Whatever you say. Either way Mykal Adams just picked up a ton of momentum for he and Trent James, wherever he may be, heading into Greed.
Daniel: Up next, the Canadian Championship is on the line.
Max: A week early no less!
Daniel: Well, in a preview for their tag team match, Van Risen and T-Dog will go one on one
Max: With a different belt on the line!
Mina: The following contest, scheduled for one fall, is for the WPW Canadian Championship!
“You Know My Name” hits the speakers, and T-Dog emerges from the back. OBG accompanies him to the ring. The two men pound fists, then T-Dog rolls into the ring and climbs the turnbuckle.
Mina: Introducing first the challenger: Being accompanied to the ring by Omar “Bona-Fide” Gibson, weighing in at 250 pounds… T-Dog!
Max: Looks like the dog travels in packs
Daniel: The challenger T-Dog hopes to wrestle away one title from Van Risen tonight
Max: A week before he could get another
“No Fear” plays, and Van Risen makes his way through the curtain. Sal Karver is right behind him, rubbing the shoulders and patting his friend on the back. Van Risen hands his Florida and Tag belts to Karver to hold, then slides into the ring.
Mina: And his opponent: Being accompanied to the ring by Sal Karver, weighing in at 240 pounds, he is the WPW Florida, Tag Team, and Canadian Champion… Van Risen!
Max: Look who else gets a little help from their friends?
Daniel: These two teams have shown a lot more understanding of each other, and are looking to help each other out when needed
The two wrestlers begin to circle one another in a textbook manner, no mind games, just simply wrestling. Eventually the two do lock up and Risen gets the advantage after a slight struggle. He holds down on T-Dog’s head in lock and keeps it there. T-Dog falls to one knee and then back up before breaking the hold and pulling Risen arm behind his head. Now Risen squirms, but it isn’t long before he is free. He spins around behind T-Dog, T-Dog turns to continue but Risen pulls out an armdrag that throws T-Dog over his shoulder and to the ground in front of him. T-Dog runs in again and the same occurrence happens.
Daniel: Van Risen seems to be getting the upper hand early on
Max: But don’t count T-Dog out of it just yet
T-Dog charges again, but feints and stops moments before he hits Risen. Risen drops and spins as if T-Dog were there and T-Dog seizes, dropping a giant knee onto his exposed back. Risen arches up and T-Dog now has the advantage, keeping his knee in Risen back, he then clutches onto his neck and pulls upwards. Eventually Risen grabs onto T-Dog’s foot and swings himself at the same time, knocking him off his back and them both down. OBG and Sal Karver cheer on their partners from ringside.
Max: Nothing like a little teamwork support
Daniel: Neither man wants to see his partner suffer an injury a week before their title match
Max: At least it’d be one team down that they didn’t have to worry about
Risen quickly stands but T-Dog grabs his right leg and pulls it out from under him. As the champion falls, T-Dog holds onto the leg before dropping an elbow to the knee joint of Van Risen. He tries to snap in a leglock, but Risen places his boot on T-Dog’s face and pushes him off. T-Dog gets to one knee as Risen quickly stands and moves up beside him to lock in a side headlock. He struggles before pushing himself out of the back of the headlock, then looking his opponent in the eyes as he turns around.
Daniel: Here comes the stare down
Max: The most intimidating move in professional wrestling
T-Dog begins saying something at Risen but he doesn’t say a word back, but instead sends his elbow right into his opponents teeth.
Max: See? Silence is powerful
T-Dog reaches up to grab his mouth in pain as Risen steps forward and head butts T-Dog, he then steps backwards and shakes his head. He turns around dizzily as T-Dog hits him with another forearm blow to the chest, then Irish whips him back into the ropes. Risen hits the ropes, but holds onto them as T-Dog begins to charge. Risen falls right up and over the ropes and crashes to the ground below.
Daniel: Van Risen takes a tumble to the outside
Max: And he’s got a few friends out there waiting to help
Sal Karver heads over to Van Risen, crouching over him and trying to help him back to his feet. As Karver helps up Risen, OBG makes his way over. Sal Karver releases the hold, and steps in-between Risen and OBG, blocking his path. Van Risen slides back into the ring, as Karver and OBG confront each other.
Daniel: That could have been bad for Van Risen if Omar Gibson got his way
Max: The power of friendship
T-Dog charges at Van Risen with a punch to the face and follows it up with an elbow from his left arm. He staggers and T-Dog steps forward to headbut him in retaliation. Risen, out of confusion, grabs T-Dog’s arm and whips him into the ropes, but his head still ringing he doesn’t react in enough time to T-Dog charging at him with a hard running clothesline bringing Van Risen down.
Daniel: Van Risen seems a bit dizzy by those head butts
Max: Doesn’t look like he’s transferring the damage the right way
Daniel: And T-Dog is right on to take advantage
T-Dog begins to stomp a grounded champion before picking him back up to his feet. T-Dog moves in to punch but Van ducks. T-Dog raises a knee to Risen chest as he ducks, then grabs him and lifts him up in a suplex, but Risen blocks the move. Risen reaches down to pull T-Dog up to his feet. T-Dog struggles as he’s lifted, but Risen quickly grabs T-Dog around the waist from the side. He pauses for a moment then hits a belly to belly suplex on T-Dog. Both men are down, and Karver and OBG slaps the mat for encouragement.
Daniel: Both these men are getting knocked silly out there
Max: A good way to win a belt, I’d say
Both men very slowly make their way back to their feet. As soon as both men stand, they begin trading blows. The punches begin to build up steam, with Van Risen coming out on top with bigger hits. Van knocks T-Dog dizzy, then charges into the ropes. As Risen comes running back, T-Dog lifts his knee to the gut, toppling Risen over and knocking him down to the mat.
Daniel: The wind was taken out of Risen.
Max: It looks like the tide is turning
T-Dog is on his feet, asking Van Risen to get back to his. He begins slapping at his thigh begging Risen to stand back up. As soon as Risen stands, he turns into The Truth Hurts pedigree from T-Dog. T-Dog makes the cover.
Daniel: The Truth Hurts, out of nowhere!
Max: We have a new champion!
One…
Two…
Three…
Sal Karver grabs the referee, and pulls him out of the ring. The referee lands on his feet, and begins yelling at Sal Karver. Karver insists that it was an accident, explaining that he got excited when slapping the mat.
Daniel: T-Dog could have won the Canadian Championship if it weren’t for Sal Karver
Max: Partners gotta stick together
Daniel: It looks like it!
Sal Karver looks up from arguing with the referee, to see OBG charging up the ring steps, and flying into Sal Karver. The referee rolls back into the ring, as Karver and OBG begin to brawl on the outside, throwing rights and lefts.
Max: Looks like the outside help is trying to take each other out!
T-Dog looks over the ropes on the outside, trying to figure out what is going on. With T-Dog distracted, Van Risen hits a school-boy rollup.
One…
Two… Van Risen grabs the tights
Three…
Mina: Here is your winner, and STILL WPW Canadian Champion… Van Risen!
Daniel: Van Risen stole that one to help his title
Max: He took advantage of the situation
Daniel: I can surely bet that T-Dog and OBG will be looking for revenge at Greed!
Daniel: Welcome back! Up next we'vee got Killing Joke versus The Stallion but I think that it's being used mainly as a warm-up for Greed. What do you think, Max?
Max: I think you're right for once, Daniel. Killing Joke may struggle tonight as I think his eye is off the ball. He's been gearing up for his fight against Scorch next week for the past month and Scorch made very short work of Blade Lavigne earlier tonight in one of our pre-show matches.
Daniel: Yes, you would think that result would 'bring back the smile' to Scorch, but it just wasn't there. He's focussed on beating The Killing Joke and the Killing Joke is focussed on beating Scorch.
Max: It's a long time since there was a smile on Scorch's face. He once sat through an entire Killing Joke promo taping session with a face like a Bloodhound with piles and, you gotta admit, the hall of Famer might inhabit a different universe from the rest of us, but he's got a few zingers that he pulls out from time to time.
Daniel: Well, let's hope that he obliges in the run-up to Greed, but before that, he had better not forget the very real threat he faces in Stallion next.
Max: I agree, Daniel. And by that I mean "breasts.
Daniel: What? Oh.. Mina.
Mina: Ladies and gentlemen the following match is scheduled for one fall and is a non-title contest!
Daniel: Folks, welcome back to Tuseday Night Turmoil!
Max: And looks who's in the ring, Daniel, it's everyone's favourite form Wold Champion/Presidential Candidate/Child Molsester; The Killing Joke!
Mina: Introducing first... From Chuckletown, New Mexico... Weighing in at 250lbs... This... Is... The Killing Joke!
Chants start to boo heavily until the former World Champion reaches down in to his trunks suggestively and gives a threatening "I'll put out my genitals if you don't cheer" look. At that point, the fans for some strange reason cheer for Joke.
Mina: And his opponent...
That some-what popular cover of "Take on Me" by Reel Big Fish begins hits and the crowd goes crazy.
Mina: From Dallas, Texas...
Stallion's usual energy packed entrance is nowhere to be seen as the flights flash on and off and the fans get louder and louder.
Mina: Weighing in at 215lbs...
The black curtain twitches.
Mina: He is the curent reigning WPW World Heavyweight Champion...
The WPW champion springs out from the back as the crowd jump to their feet and cheer madly to the point where their throats start to dry up.
Mina: This... Is... The Stallion!
The champs sprints down the ramp, slapping the hands of every fan on the way and sending them all back in to a frenzy of cheers before sliding in to the ring. He quickly hops up and climbs the nearest turnbuckle, for some reason spinning his wrists in some strange motion to the music. He then pulls off his Stallion shirt - avaliable at concession stands in the lobby - and throws it in to the crowd before jumping back down off the turnbuckle.
Max: Well if you ask me, Stallion seems a little confused...
Daniel: I guess you're talking about what he had to say this week, and in that respect I suppose you're right. Stallion does seem to think that The Killing Joke is asking for forgiveness this week, and I think he might be in for a bit of a surprise! KJ made it perfectly clear that he feels he is above something as petty as forgiveness.
Max: Actually I meant he was a flaming homosexual but good point.
Referee Mike Posey calls for the bell and before Stallion wastes no time, sprinting towards Killing Joke straight away and taking him down to the mat with a spear straight to the mid-section. The fans pop as their World Champion climbs on top of Joke and throws straight right and left hands to his temporal lobes. Ref posey tries to pull Stallion off of the grounded Killing Joke and warns him about his closed punches. This inadvertently acts as a distraction, one that lasts for KJ to get to his feet and deliver a Spear of his own, aimed directly at the Stallion.
Daniel: This match is off to an explosive start! Stallion trying to make an impactful point at the start of this one but the distraction from Mike Posey unfortunately allowed his rival in KJ to get the better of him there.
Just as Stallion had done to him mere seconds ago, Killing Joke mounts his opponent and starts aggressively throwing punches direct to his head. Posey, again just like before, threatens a disqualification and tries to break up the brawl. KJ, this time without a World Title around his waist, has nothing to gain from a disqualification or count-out so unmounts The Stallion and innocently throws his hands in the air. Stallion springs on to his feet and tries to charge at KJ but ref Posey throws his arms out and stands between the two, warning them to go back to their corners.
Daniel: It looks like the referee is taking charge in this one, Max. He's really enforcing the rules, perhaps he doesn't want Killing Joke to take advantage of him.
Max: Ha ha ha ha.
Daniel: What?
Max: Rape...
Posey steps out of the way and the two march towards each other, ready for a lock-up. Joke goes for a collar-elbow tie-up but The Stallion ducks this and makes his way to back of KJ before putting him in a Belly To Back Waistlock.
Daniel: There you see the quickness and agility of our champion coming in to play right there!
After a few seconds of stuggling, Stallion has the hold locked in, seemingly securely, but is broken moments later after a strong elbow to the head from Joke. The Stallion stagger backwards and rests up against a nearby corner of the ring.
Max: Aaaaaand there you see the strength of The Killing Joke coming in to play.
Joke makes the short distance over to the Champion and drives a knee straight to his gut to help him keep control, before pushing him up against the turnbuckles again and Irish Whipping him across the ring to the other corner. Almost instantly, KJ runs after him and manages to stay a few paces behind him so he can hit a Stinger Splash, but isn't far away enough to pull off in the event that Stallion counters the set-up. Unfortunately for Joke, that's exactly what happens. As The Stallion meets the corner, he grabs the rope rope with his hands and pushes him self up before propelling backwards over the charging Killing Joke. KJ is able to turn quickly so back takes the damage, but he still slams in to the corner and, as he bounces back, The Stallion catches him in release Arm Drag that brings him down on to the mat. The champ takes a moment to rattle the top rope and draws the crowd in to a frenzy as he stamps his feet on the canvas.
Daniel: Nice counter there from the champion, and the fans loved it.
Max: Ah. But you're forgetting that these fans are mentaly challenged, Daniel.
The Stallion makes his way over to the grounded Killing Joke and attempts to put him in an armbar, but KJ smashes on the head with his free forearm which causes the champion to stagger back against the ring ropes where he rests in an attempt to recover from that surprise shot.
Max: Perhaps young Stale One should stop trying to pander to the fans and focus on the match!
Daniel: I hate to say it but you might be right, Max... If Stallion hadn't let go of the arm to celebrate with the fans, Killing Joke would be in an armbar right now.
Max: Well, I dunno about that. Something tells me KJ would still have been awesome enough to escape.
Killing Joke makes it to his feet and sprints straight towards The Stallion who thinks fast and pulls down the bottom rope, sending KJ flying over the top but the veteran in Killing Joke is smart enough to grab hold of the ropes and hang on to save him from crashing on to the lighly padded concrete below. Thinking that his opponent is out cold on the outside, The Stallion goes to take a risk and makes his way over to the turnbuckle post but is soon brought to realise Killing Joke is now on the ring apron as KJ rattles the top rope to get his attention. The champion charges at Killing Joke but instead of hitting some offense, he runs straight in to a hard clothesline from Joke that sends him backflipping. Killing Joke climbs the turnbuckles that the Stallion tried to climb just seconds ago and when he reaches the top rope, await the Stallion to get to his feet. The Champion gets to his feet and staggers about before turning around and walking straight in to a flying cross-body from the 250lbs Killing Joke. Joke stays on top of Stallion and hooks his leg, calling for Mike Posey to dive on to the canvas and start counting... One! Two! Stallion throws a shoulder up to break the count.
Daniel: My gawd, did you see that cross-body?
Max: Of course I did, Daniel. In fact, I took a picture of it with my WPW Disposable Camera which are, incidentally, available at concession stands in the arena lobby.
Daniel: Smooth, Max. Real smooth.
Killing Joke "helps" Stallion up on to his feet and follows it up by driving a not-so-friendly knee straight to his gut, causing Stallion falls against the ring ropes. Joke pushes him against the ropes and uses the momentum to Irish Whip him across the ring to the ropes on the other side. Stallion naturally bounces off them and, on the rebound, KJ swings for a clothesline but Stallion ducks it and bounces off the ropes yet again and this time flies through the air and connects with a Flying Forearm Smash on the rebound. The champion makes marches over to The Killing Joke but, as he reaches for his neck, KJ pulls him Stallion in and delivers a painful low-blow to the groin that goes completely un-noticed by referree Mike Posey. Joke stumbles to his feet and leans against the ropes, using the momentum to charge towards a kneeling Stallion, driving a running knee straight in to his skull.
Daniel: Oh my god... Was that a Spark!?
Max: I think it was! Killing Joke just hit The Stallion with one of Scorch's trademark moves; I love it!
Daniel: Perhaps payback for Scorch using Joke's finishing move last week, Max. But will this do as much good as it did for Scorch? Will this mean a victory for the Killing Joke?
KJ dives on top of the Stallion and covers him for a pin attempt, Posey slides across the mat and slaps the canvas. One! Two! Stallion kicks his feet up in the air and breaks the pinfall.
Daniel: I have to say, Max... The Stallion isn't doing this great so far.
Max: That's 'cause he sucks, natch.
Daniel: I don't think it's that, Max. I mean. You have to question what's on The Stallion's mind tonight. Is his head truly in the game for this match? Or is he thinking about that huge title defence at WPW Greed?
Max: Or is he thinking about what Mina Henderson would look like dressed as Pikachu?
Daniel: Actually that's just you, Max.
Max: Nice little pair of yellow hot pants, some face paint and some furry ears. Yeah. That's the trick.
The champion rolls away from The Killing Joke and rolls under the bottom rope, dropping harshly on the outside. He uses the crowd barrier to pull himself up and rests for a few seconds before attempting to re-enter the ring. But before he can, the Killing Joke uses the ring ropes to dive out of the ring in a Vaulting Body Press and come flying towards the Champion. Luckily for the Stallion, he realises this in time and quickly rolls out of the way causing KJ to crash down on the lightly padded concrete below.
Daniel: Oh my god! What a sickening thud that was!
Max: Wait, what!? What did I miss??
Daniel: Well- .. What the hell were you doing that you missed that?
Max: ...Checking my calendar.
Daniel: You were trying to find out when Halloween is, weren't you?
The champion takes a few moments to recover before getting to his feet and pulling The Killing Joke up, but when he does he drags him over to the ring apron and tries to roll him under the bottom rope. However, Joke quickly throws a sharp elbow at The Stallion before grabbing him by the neck and quickly slamming him face-first in to the ring apron. He then almost instantly Irish Whips the champion so he collides back-first in to the solid steel steps at ringside before grabbing him by the neck again and rolling him in to the ring.
Daniel: Boy, if our champ wasn't in trouble before then he is now.
KJ quickly covers Stalion again in a pin attempt, Mike Posey counts. One. Two. Thr- Stallion throws a boot up on the bottom rope.
Max: You gotta be kidding me!
Daniel: He may be in trouble, but our champion is still fighting strong. Look at the dedication and heart of this damn kid.
Max: Well if he doesn't get his rear in gear sometime soon then KJ might just show us what Stallion's heart really looks like when he tears it out!
Daniel: Rather dramatic of you, Max.
Max: Why thank you.
Killing Joke takes a few moments to argue with Posey before "helping" The Stallion up and resting him against the ring ropes. He Irish Whips him across the ring and charges at the rebounding champion but runs straight in to a Diving Forearm Smash out of nowhere! The two spring to there feet and charge at each other again, only for The Stallion to connect with a Flying Clothesline. When Joke gets to his feet, he walks directly in to an Arm Drag from the quick-thinking champion.
Daniel: He's fighting back! The champ is fighting back!
Killing Joke rolls over to the ropes and tries to pull himself up but the champion makes marches over and is quick to throw lefts and rights just about everywhere, knocking the wind completely out of him. Ref Posey pulls the Champion off and he lets up quickly but almost instantly connects with a Dropkick straight to the chest of The Killing Joke. The Stallion drags KJ in to position before point to the turnbuckle and calling for his finishing move, the Showdown Moonsault.
Daniel: This could be it! Stallion could win this one right here!
By the time the Champion makes it to the top rope, several members of the crowd are already chanting "Super-human come back!" but it doesn't phase either men as The Stallion leaps through the air in a moonsault.. Only to be caught in mid-air by the Killing Joke! KJ quickly attempts a Snake Eyes on to the turnbuckle corner but The Stallion struggles out of his grasp and rops down behind him. He quickly turns Joke around and delivers a swift kick to the gut before pushing him down in between his legs and lifting him up in a Crucifix. He rotates around to face the center of the ring and drives the 250lbs straight in to the canvas with his trademark Razord's Edge manouver.
Max: Oh no! And I thought KJ had this one in the bag!
Daniel: I didn't doubt our champion for one minute!
The Champ doesn't even attempt to cover Killing Joke but instead climbs up to the top-rope again and hits his Showdown Moonsault for extra credit.
Daniel: The Showdown! The Showdown!
He covers KJ and hooks a leg, calling for Posey to slide across the canvas and count again. One! Two! Three!!!
Daniel: Deja Vu, Max! Deja Vu! The Stallion has just beaten The Killing Joke again, god damn it!
Mina Henderson: Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of this match... The Stallion!!!
