Ice Palace
Tampa Bay, Florida
Saturday 1st February 2003
Attendance: 21,576
Poppa: What's going on?
Stanyer: I've no idea, I was told we were out of time, I guess we're running over.
Gambino's anger dissipates for a moment as he picks up the envelope. He examines it curiously and then opens it up and pulls out the contents, an unmarked VHS tape. Gambino walks over towards the camera, which appears to be right next to the TV. He goes off camera as he puts the tape into his video player. He then takes a seat just in front of the TV, we can clearly see Gambino's face.
Poppa: I can't see what's on the tape?
Gambino eyes suddenly widen, and we hear a door slam open. We hear a loud thud, followed by a yell from someone, then silence. Gambino's surprise turns to rage and he suddenly kicks the TV over, and our camera feed cuts out.
Poppa: What was on the tape!!!!
Stanyer: We're out of time!!!
The camera fades out to the PWF logo.
The USA Network logo fades out as "Fiend" by Coal Chamber starts. Flashes of some of the earlier PWF matches are shown then as the music kicks in the images get quicker and often more violent. We see flashes of the entire Havoc roster, showing some of the great moments of each wrestler. As the music ends, the Saturday Night Havoc logo fades in and then we cut to the Ice Palace, where Pyro's blast off all around the arena, the crowd goes wild and holds up their signs for the camera's to see. Finally we cut to the new PWF announcing team of Jason Stanyer, and his new colleague, Big Poppa
Stanyer: Hello everyone and welcome to Saturday Night Havoc!!! We're live from the Ice Palace in Tampa Bay, Florida. Most of the fans are already on a high after the Bucs. Won the Superbowl last Sunday.
Poppa: Y'think? I can barely hear myself speak, they are making so much noise.
Stanyer: Let's hope they can keep up this volume for the entire night, as a good crowd usually breeds good matches.
Poppa: It always helped me when I was in the ring. A quality crowd just inspires you to push that little bit harder.
Stanyer: And they'll be glad to hear the main event which has been signed for tonight, Gambino will take on Sandstorm.
Poppa: After Sandstorm ended last weeks main event rather abruptly, Gambino will want to remind him just why he is the PWF World Heavyweight Champion.
Stanyer: But we're kicking tonight's show off with a match between Rex Idol and Venom, but first, we've been asked to show the following video concerning "The Paragon" Rex Idol.
Poppa: Should be interesting.
The segment open with the following gold lettered words on the screen:
REX IDOL: BEHIND THE MACHISMO Part 1
Then the screen goes black
The picture remains dark as we hear voice-overs, which for some reason have been computer modified.
Modified Female voice: "Rex was always a special little boy yes, special."
Modified Male voice: "You're sure no one will be able to recognize my voice, right?"
Slowly a picture of a fair-haired baby standing up in a crib fades into focus. The child is wearing a diaper and a pair of over-sized sunglasses. In one hand he holds a gold-plated baby rattle, while giving a little thumbs up with his other hand. He is smiling big for the camera.
Female voice: "He was always good at every thing he tried."
Male voice: "Yeah I suppose that's why he turned out to be such an arrogant little pr- well, you know."
The picture changes to a shot of the same young boy, now maybe eight years old, still smiling, but now applying a headlock to another child in a crudely thrown together backyard wrestling ring. Again, he is wearing sunglasses, this time with a one-shoulder strap Tarzan-like singlet.
Female voice: "We always told him, we'd support him in whatever he wanted to do."
Male voice: "Just one of many mistakes, if you ask me."
The next photograph is of the boy as a young teen. He is on stage performing in what looks to be a high school production of "Grease". He is wearing a T-Birds leather jacket, white t-shirt, jeans, and the reoccurring sunglasses, but his hair has been bleached a very un-Travolta blond. He is in an embrace with his Sandy D co-star, lips locked, one hand on her back, the other on her ass. She appears to be struggling to escape.
Female voice: "He's really just an overgrown kid."
Male voice: "He's a jackass, is what he really is."
Female voice: "Oh, stop it!"
Male voice: "Well, he is! He's like a deranged Burt Reynolds or something!"
The picture changes again, this time showing the young man now in his late teens. He is fronting a garage rock band. His hair is still bleached, he's still wearing the shades, and now he's holding a gold and black guitar, and screaming into a microphone. The other guys in the picture, one also playing guitar, one on bass, and one on drums, look unhappy. The band's name on the drum kit reads "The Rex Idol Armada".
Female voice: "I've always been proud of him. We both have."
Male voice: "Ouch! Why are you kicking me?"
Next we get a montage of photos of the boy in his shades. We see him in a variety of sports uniforms; American football, baseball, basketball, amateur wrestling, and an unexplained shot of him refereeing a women's mud wrestling match.
Female voice: "He's everything a mother could ever ask for."
Male voice: "He's a lot more than I ever asked for! Pro Wrestling? Did we raise him in a trailer park?"
The final shot is of the young man after his college graduation. He is dressed in gold robes, a slight contrast to the other thousand or so wearing Cardinal red. He is posing with an older couple. Their faces are blurred to hide their identities.
The picture goes dark again, and we close with the following gold lettered words on the screen:
REX IDOL: BEHIND THE MACHISMO Part 2 next week
Poppa: (laughing) Sounds like someone isn't too happy that Rex Idol became a wrestler.
Stanyer: Indeed, we're looking forward to part two next week, but now we go to the ring where Rex Idol steps into the ring with Venom.
The arena lights cut off, and, as the music begins, are replaced by a dozen searchlight style roving lights that scour the audience until they settle on the entry way stage. Strobe lights flicker throughout the rest of the darkened arena and the first piano chords sound, while the words "The PARAGON" roll across the jumbo-tron. Six beautiful women file out of the entry portal, lining up three on each side of the runway as the lyrics to Robbie Williams "Let Me Entertain You" begin; "Hell is gone and Heaven's here, there's nothing left for you to fear, shake your ass, come over here, now scream!" The women all strike seductive poses, and the music continues to build, "I'm a burning effigy of everything I used to be, you're my rock of empathy, my dear!" In time with the drums, pyros explode from both the stage and top of the big screen, while a golden leather-clad Rex Idol bounds forth from behind the stage curtains. The crowd goes wild as he goes through a series of brief muscle-flexing poses, before making his way to the ring with his entourage. Once at ringside he slides under the ropes, pauses for a few unorthodox, and slightly crude, pushups, then springs to his feet for a final pose, as the music fades out.
James: Introducing from Beverley Hills, California, weighing in at 266lbs, "THE PARAGON" REX IDOL!!!
All of a sudden the arena darken and the sound of hissing snakes can be heard throughout the building. Then green lights start to flicker and "Drag you Down" by Finger Eleven hits and out walks Venom from behind the curtain. Venom makes his way to the ring taunting the crowd. Venom then slides in under the bottom rope and begins to taunt the crowd again as the crowd boos.
James: Introducing from Death Valley, California, weighing 297lbs, VENOM!!!.
Report: The two men circle, Venom goes in first with a right hand, which Rex ducks and then counters with a hard right hand of his own. Venom strikes back with a heavy right hand and the two exchange rights for a moment, with Rex surprisingly coming out on top. Rex knocks Venom back into the ropes with the right hands and then irish whips him away. Rex then casually lifts Venom up into a Military Press and then tosses him to the mat. He then takes a few steps towards the edge of the ring and flexes his right arm, showing off to his adoring fans. Venom gets up, looking a little pissed off with Rex's showboating. Rex turns to face Venom and the two circle again. Rex draws Venom into swinging with a right hand and then ducks it, but Venom instantly counters with an aggressive backhand blow, which takes Rex completely by surprise and knocks him down. Rex scrambles to his feet, but runs into a heavy right hand from Venom, sending him staggering backwards. Venom comes in with a heavy boot to the gut and then whips Rex to the ropes. This time Venom powers Rex up into the air with a Military Press and then tosses him to the mat. He then mocks Rex by flexing his right arm as well. But he quickly stops and begins to kick Rex while he is down. He then drags Rex up to his feet and slides behind him to drive him into the canvas with a classic Back Drop. He then hooks the leg for an early cover. 1 ..2 .. Rex kicks out quite easily. Venom drags Rex up and knees him in the gut before whipping him hard into the turnbuckle. Rex staggers out of the turnbuckle and Venom crashes into him with a violent clothesline. Venom waits for Rex to get to his feet before flattening him with a 2nd clothesline. Rex struggles to his feet one more time and Venom charges in, but Rex quickly ducks the clothesline and drives Venom down with a Hangman's Neckbreaker. Rex then takes a moment out to catch his breath.
Stanyer: Rex Idol hasn't been able to really establish himself in this contest yet.
Poppa: He's primarily a power wrestler, but when your facing someone who's bigger, heavier and stronger than you are, it's hard to be a power wrestler. So he's going to have to summon up some of his technical wrestling knowledge if he's to pull out the win tonight.
Rex pulls himself to his feet and then lifts Venom to his feet, although he was almost up anyway. Rex scores with a pair of hard right hands, he then hooks Venom up for a Suplex. He gets set to lift him up, but can't lift him. Venom blocks a 2nd attempt and then tries to counter the Suplex with one of his own, but Rex fights it and manages to get his feet back down on the mat. He then lets out a load roar as he powers Venom up into the air, he tries to hang him up, but he's too heavy and he has to bring him down with a loud crash. Rex gets to his feet and immediately begins to flex his arms and then his chest. Rex then pulls Venom up and goes behind him and plants him with a Back Drop. He then goes fro a cover. .1 2 ... Venom kicks out. Rex pulls him up to his feet, but gets caught with a knee to the gut. Rex staggers backwards holding his gut, Venom charges at him and drives his knee directly into Rex Idol's head. Venom then goes for the cover. .1 ..2 Rex kicks out. Venom pulls Rex up to his feet and then whips him hard into the turnbuckle. He then charges in and crushes him with a Running Body Splash. Venom then stomps Rex down with repeated heavy boots to the gut. Venom then drags Rex up and pulls him out of the turnbuckle and whips him to the ropes before spiking him into the mat with a snap Powerslam. Venom hooks the leg back. 1 2 .. Rex powers his shoulder off the canvas. Venom pulls him up and whips him into the ropes and then sends him soaring into the air with a high Flapjack. Rex bounces up to his feet and Venom promptly scoops him up onto his shoulder, he then turns around and plants Rex headfirst into the mat with an evil Fire Thunder Driver. Venom goes for the cover again. 1 .2 Rex just gets his shoulder a couple of inches off the canvas. Venom goes for another cover. 1 .2 again Rex only just gets his shoulder up. Venom leaves Rex as he struggles to his feet and heads over towards the turnbuckle, and climbs to the 2nd turnbuckle. Rex staggers to his feet and then Venom dives off with a Double Axe Handle, but Rex uses both hands to skillfully block it, and then he places his arm across Venom's chest before planting him with a classic Sambo Suplex. Both men stay down.
Stanyer: Beautiful counter from Rex Idol, it may have turned the match in his favour.
Poppa: If he can recover from that Fire Thunder Driver that is.
Carlton Rock makes his ten count as both men stagger up to their feet. Venom connects with a right hand, but Rex comes back with one of his own. A slow exchange of right hands follows, with Rex slowly building pace and finally taking over and knock Venom towards the corner. He then whips Venom towards the opposite corner and charges in to crush him with a clothesline. Rex hooks Venom up and slams him into the mat with a Classic Belly to Back Suplex. He hooks the leg. 1 ..2 . Venom kicks out. Rex drags him up and with the crowd fully behind him he lifts Venom above his head with a Gorilla Press and then drops him behind him. He flexes his chest and then he sets Venom up for a Piledriver. Venom tries to fight it, but a few clubs across the back from Rex allow him to deliver the move. Venom holds his head as Rex goes for the cover. ..1 ..2 . Venom just gets his shoulder up. Rex gets the attention of the crowd as he waits for Venom to get up. He then grabs both arms from behind and delivers a devastating Release Tiger Suplex. Rex scrambles over for a cover. 1 ..2 Venom just gets his shoulder up. Rex gets up and showboats for a moment, signalling for an end to the contest. Venom staggers up and Rex crashes into him with the Rex Bomber (Running Elbow Attack), the setup for the Idolbuster (Buff Blockbuster). Rex leaps onto the 2nd turnbuckle, waiting for Venom to get to his feet. Suddenly Masta P is seen running down the aisle. Rex sees him and turns his attention towards him. Carlton Rock slides outside to stop Masta P from interfering, but the damage is already done, as the distraction allows Venom to grab Rex off the 2nd rope and deliver a devastating Flipping Slam. Venom hooks the leg and shouts for the referee, who leaves Masta P and slides into the ring. He makes the count. 1 2 .3!!!!
Stanyer: Venom picks up the win, with some unwanted assistance from Masta P.
Poppa: Looks like Masta P wants to finish Rex Idol off.
As Venom rolls out of the ring, Masta P slides in. Carlton Rock raises Venom's arm as he is heading up the ramp, but Masta P pulls Rex Idol up. He looks around at the fans, some are booing him, and others are silent. Masta P knees Rex hard in the gut and then sets him up for the Masta Bomb. He flips Rex up and then drills him down into the canvas. Masta P smiles as he raises both arms into the air.
Stanyer: There was absolutely no need for that, Masta P did not need to be out here.
Poppa: But he is out here, and he has cost Rex Idol this match. And attempted to break his back for good measure.
Stanyer: Rex Idol is going to want vengeance, when he finally gets up that is.
Backstage, walking side-by-side in a bright corridor, were the relatively new tag-team of Jagged & Inmate: Anger Management. They didn't seem very happy, as if they ever did, but there was a certain grim attitude to life this evening it seemed. They were clothed in their casual attire, and were mumbling to each other in an ineligible barbaric language, familiar only to moody teenagers and grumpy elders.
Inmate: ..myntm ..tag titles nbig grmnf
Jagged: .esldfksl eliminated gddswwse...
The camera suddenly cuts away, leaving behind the extremely brief Anger Management segment. Instead we are greeted by the Brutal Force duo of Barry Burton and Leroy Greene, who also don't look too happy; though they aren't quite as angry as Anger Management. They walk with their heads down, looking towards the ground, shuffling instead of walking, though not mumbling as were their rival duo. As the camera, pans to the side, it soon becomes apparent that these weren't two separate segments. For Jagged & Inmate, also looking at the ground in shame, are walking straight on a collision course path with Team: Brutal Force! Both teams walk for a few seconds more until THUMP! The two teams walk into each other. Anger Management stare at Brutal Force incredulously.
Jagged: What. The. Fuck.
Inmate starts aggressively knocking Barry on the head.
Inmate: Uhm, hello?! Brains?! Sense?! Anything in there?
Barry: Hey, you walked into us!
Jagged holds the incredulous look.
Jagged: We WE Anger Management .walked into YOU?!
Inmate: Are you guys crazy or something?
Now it's Brutal Force's turn to look surprised.
Leroy: Your calling US, crazy?
Jagged: Listen bitch, wise up or bafangul!
Brutal Force (together): Huh?
Inmate: A piece of advice for you Barry, up-up. You don't want to see Ryan Barzini in bafangul-mode. In future, watch where the fuck you are going.
Jagged: Fuck that. You better stay outta our way all together. We don't wanna see your ugly wretched faces anywhere around here. After all, as we proved last week, we can always make those faces uglier.
Inmate: HAH! That's right, I remember now. Awwwww, did the poor widdle team lose their big No.1 Contender's match?
Barry: Oh yeah, that's right YOU did!
Inmate & Jagged look a little sheepish as they realise they have been embarrassed on national television. Then, they regain their trademark composure.
Jagged: Ooooh, you really are asking for it now.
Inmate: Come on Jag, you take him and I'll take him.
Inmate readies himself in attack position, but Jagged waves away his anger.
Jagged: No, they are not worth it, my friend. There are other ways we can deal with scum.
Inmate grins as they walk away, leaving battle-ready Brutal Force to contemplate the incident.
Stanyer: We apologise for the language of Anger Management, but as you can guess by their name, they are difficult to control.
Poppa: Besides, who in the PWF has the balls to tell them to stop swearing on camera?
Stanyer: Well, I hear it's hard to see the end of that queue.
Poppa: Or the beginning.
Stanyer: Well, we're now going backstage to Kilgore's locker room.
The darkness that filled the locker room made itself readily apparent as the camera flickered into life, struggling to pierce the shadows. As the image flickered and buzzed it somehow managed to focus just enough to pick out a huge figure in the room, standing in front of a mirror with their hands against the wall. Upon closer inspection it became clear that the figure was none other than Kilgore and as he stood in the gloom he looked up at himself in the mirror, the camera zooming in to show a look of disgust on his face.
Kilgore: "Pathetic. Truly pathetic."
Kilgore shook his head in disappointment.
Kilgore: "Why must we continue on this downward spiral? Why have we strayed from our path? Why why must we constantly fail in our endeavours? The Perfect Outlaw was nothing IS nothing and yet he still managed to defeat us, He still managed to wait, this isn't right "
A disturbing wildness dominated Kilgore's eyes, giving him a decidedly unhinged appearance.
Kilgore: "What is this "we" crap, huh? Why must you make this so difficult?"
In an instant Kilgore's pulled his right arm back and then he thrust it forward, shattering the mirror with his tightly clenched fist. The sound of glass smashing upon the floor echoed throughout the barren room but Kilgore just continued to stare at himself in what remained of the mirror, his face distorted in the broken shards.
Kilgore: "WHY CAN'T YOU TAKE SOME FUCKING RESPONSIBILITY!?"
As he spoke the frustration and anguish he was feeling inside became increasingly blatant.
Kilgore: "I never would have lost that match! I would've destroyed him, torn him asunder, bathed in his warm blood! I would've ripped the flesh from his bones, shred his skin, made him gasp for every breath!"
Kilgore moved his face in closer towards the glass, lowering his voice as he did.
Kilgore: "You make me sick. Just accept it Leon you're dead. You are dead and buried. Why won't you just rest in piece? What did I ever do to deserve this? Why do you haunt me with your pitiable misplaced morality? I am Kilgore, devourer of light, not some fucked up waste of humanity like you. Why won't you just leave me be? I hate you Leon, so why don't you just fucking make like your whore of a mother and ARGH!"
Suddenly Kilgore reeled back whilst screaming and it seemed as though he was in an unimaginable amount of pain. The agony he was experiencing soon forced him to his knees and as the sound of his torment mingled with the apt darkness it was as if his was the kind of suffering that would never end. However, just as it had begun the pain seemed to seep away, leaving Kilgore on the floor, leaning against the shattered mirror. A small puddle of blood had formed on the floor, suggesting that Kilgore had lacerated himself on a stray shaving of broken glass during his pained writhing, but he ignored it completely, instead turning back to the mirror and speaking in a doleful tone.
Kilgore: "We can only function as one. Don't ever forget that. If you want out Kilgore then I suggest you listen to me. You want to find yourself again Kilgore? Not yet. Not until you find someone else first. The Perfect Outlaw is the target. Much like us he is clearly not content with showing the world his true self. Force him into a situation he can't control Kilgore and perhaps we will come one step closer towards the severance. Force him to reveal his true self. Unmask him, Kilgore. You said you felt it last week, and you were right. He is the answer. Prove to me that you have what it takes to make reality your own and I will prove to you that I am a man of my word. No matter how long it takes Kilgore you MUST defeat The Perfect Outlaw if you wish to exist in a state of seclusion. If you don't, Kilgore, I will stay, providing a constant reminder of the humanity inside of you. The humanity, Kilgore, which you so desperately want to rid yourself of. Do this Kilgore and maybe, MAYBE I'll be able to find the strength to move on. Oh, and Kilgore, if you ever so much as mention my mother again I swear to God I will "
Kilgore's erratic nature came into play yet again as he broke the sentence, lunging forward and driving his head into the remains of the mirror! As he pulled his head back the blood started to flow thick and fast, running down his forehead and forming another, larger puddle on the ground. A single piece of glass had survived in the frame and as Kilgore stared into it, ignoring the blood as it threatened to obscure his vision . he grinned.
Kilgore: "Hush, little voice. We must argue no longer. We have a goal, a mission. The Perfect Outlaw is the target, ascension and separation our prize. We call a truce, now, before we do something we regret."
He rose to his feet, staggering as he did, and then he turned away from the camera as the static began to eat away at the relative clarity of the picture.
Kilgore: "No light. No light for The Perfect Outlaw. No light for them all. Dark days beckon "
The camera could take no more as the static intrusion became too much, completely devouring the image. However, just as all faded to black Kilgore's final words found their way.
Kilgore: " And we shall answer their call."
With that the scene came to a bleak, disconcerting end
Poppa: He scares me, you just never know what he might do next.
Stanyer: I think he was threatening The Perfect Outlaw, who's up next.
Poppa: He'd better watch his back, you never know when Kilgore might act on his threat.
Stanyer: Having a threat hanging over your head as you go into a match with someone like Shockwave isn't something you need. Shockwave is a handful on his own.
Credit: Suicide
Smoke fills the entrance way as Falling Apart by TRUST Company plays over the speakers. The arena goes black for about 3 seconds and then awoken by a loud explosion of fire. As Shockwave makes his way to the ring followed by his manager Jonathan Brooks. red lighs ficker on and off through out the arena. Shockwave then slides slowly under the bottom rope and takes his place in the center and looks up into the entrance way awaiting the arival of his opponent.
James: Introducing from Edmunton, Alberta, weighing 283lbs. SHOCKWAVE!!!!
The lights dim as The Perfect Outlaw makes his way down to the ring to "Perfect Imperfection" by Tom Snow. He makes no motion towards the crowd or anyone in fact. He just gets in the ring.
James: Introducing from Manhattan, New York, THE PERFECT OUTLAW!!!
Report: Shockwave attacks TPO from behind when he turns to acknowledge the crowd. He hits TPO with forearms in between the shoulder blades. TPO grabs onto the ropes and Shockwave pushes him through to the outside. The ref steps in front of Shockwave and holds him back. Shockwave fights for a minute, then just stops and waits for TPO to get back in the ring. TPO dives under the bottom ropes and quickly gets to his feet. Shockwave quickly grapples TPO and whips him into the ropes. TPO leaps over the ducking Shockwave and stops. He turns around and hits Shockwave with a hard right. Shockwave staggers back and grabs his jaw. TPO sends Shockwave to the mat with a clothesline. Shockwave's head bounces off the mat. TPO stomps Shockwave's chest a few times. TPO pulls Shockwave up by his hair and whips him into the ropes. TPO nails Shockwave with a powerslam. He covers. 1 2 Kick out! Shockwave easily kicks out and rolls out from under TPO. He pulls himself via the ropes. TPO runs at Shockwave who ducks and pulls down on the top rope, sending TPO to the outside. The ref starts his ten count. 1 2 3 TPO rolls back into the ring and gets stomped by Shockwave. Shockwave pulls TPO up by his hair. He picks TPO up and drops him with a suplex.
Stanyer: "A massive suplex by Shockwave there."
Poppa: "TPO will win this match. You watch."
Stanyer: "Let's call the match and worry about who wins later."
Poppa: "Fine."
Shockwave drags TPO to his feet. He whips TPO into the corner. Shockwave runs and leaps, but TPO moves and Shockwave drops down onto the turnbuckle pad. TPO quickly grabs hold of Shockwave, and he hits a German Suplex. He holds on and rolls over and nails another one letting Shockwave go. TPO slowly gets to his feet and hits Shockwave with a spear. He covers. 1 2 Kick out. Shockwave quickly gets to his feet and backs away, allowing his opponent to get to his feet. Slowly Shockwave gets to his feet and turns around, catching the leg of TPO who was trying a Yakuza kick. Shockwave nails TPO with a capture suplex. Shockwave covers TPO. 1 2 Kick out. Shockwave pulls TPO to his feet. Shockwave shoves TPO's head between his legs and picks him up, piledriving him into the mat. Shockwave drags TPO to the edge of the ring and climbs to the outside. He drags TPO's head on the outside and walks back to the other turnbuckle post. He runs and hits TPO across the bridge of the nose with a forearm. The ref is counting. 1 2 3 4 Shockwave rolls back into the ring. He grabs TPO's legs and hits a slingshot suplex. TPO's neck hits the bottom rope guillotining him. He covers TPO. 1 2 TPO gets a shoulder up.
Stanyer: "Perfect Outlaw gets his shoulder up before the three count."
Poppa: "That was very close."
Shockwave slams his hand down on the mat. Shockwave pulls TPO up and whips him into the turnbuckle. Shockwave runs and leaps, but TPO pulls the ref in front of him causing Shockwave to knock both of them out.
Stanyer: "The ref has been laid out."
Poppa: "Shockwave definitely has the upper hand here."
Shockwave picks TPO up, but gets a low blow from TPO. He doubles over and TPO nails him with The Perfect Backlash (Impaler). He covers Shockwave. There's no count as the ref is still knocked out. TPO gets to his feet and locks on Operation Utopia (Sharpshooter).
Poppa: "This match is over. No one escapes that hold."
Stanyer: "Kil Look it's Kilgore."
Just as Stanyer said that, Kilgore climbs over the barricade behind TPO. He picks up a chair and slides into the ring. He gets behind TPO and levels him with the chair. TPO lets go of the hold falling off of Shockwave. Kilgore rolls Shockwave on top of TPO. He wakes the ref up, who slowly crawls over to make the count. 1 2 3!
Stanyer: Shockwave, like his rival Venom earlier on, picks up a win thanks to outside interference.
Poppa: I think Kilgore took his loss to The Perfect Outlaw a lot worse than we thought.
Stanyer: Well, we all know he's not the most sane person around here. The Perfect Outlaw could very well be just the target for his aggression.
Poppa: Looks like he hasn't finished either.
Kilgore pulls TPO up to his feet and then lifts him up over his shoulders into a Fireman's Carry. He then delivers the devastating Eighth Sin. He then pulls TPO's head into his lap and tries to pull off the mask, but it is on tight. He looks like he might just get it off when security floods the ring and drags Kilgore off TPO. Kilgore fights back, and knocks down a couple of the security guards, but they manage to drag him down and handcuff him. They then drag him out of the ring.
Stanyer: Well, he said he was going to unmask The Perfect Outlaw, and he almost pulled it off.
Poppa: And got himself arrested for his troubles.
Stanyer: He does need to be watched carefully, there is definitely a screw loose somewhere inside of him.
We cut backstage where we see Alexander & Kull on their way to the ring, ready to face Down Under Xpress next. When out of seemingly nowhere, LJ & Brod come running in and knock both men down. Brod cracks a chair over the back of Alexander, while LJ hits Kull around the back of the head with a Lead Pipe. LJ & Brod then both deliver evil shots to the back of Kull's head as he is laid out on the concrete floor. Brod delivers one last shot to Alexander's back and then DUX make their exit before security arrives.
Stanyer: My God!! What have DUX done to the Gods of War? We'll be back after the break to find out.
We return to the backstage area, this time we are in the medical room, Kull is flat out on one of the beds, completely unconscious. Alexander is standing holding his back, questioning the medical staff.
Alexander: Is he okay???
EMT: He's unconscious, I think he might have a concussion, we're going to have to take him to the hospital.
Alexander: Dammit!! I'm going to kill those fu .. damn Australians.
Alexander storms out of the medical room, slamming the door as he goes.
The DUX are shown entering the ring to the familiar strains of 'Praise' by Sevendust. LJ has his trusty mascot, Commander Squeaky, on his shoulder and Brod has the mic.
Stanyer: Alexander isn't going to do what I think he is going to do, is he?
Poppa: He's angry, and he wants revenge, and he doesn't care about the consequences, he just wants to get his hands on DUX.
Stanyer: Well it looks like DUX have something to say..
Brod: If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times.
Dramatic pause while the crowd lets out a mixture of boos and cheers
Brod: There is no way in the world that the DUX is going to be shown up by a group of illiterate, imbecilic, inbred and not to mention sub par so-called 'tag team champions'! You all just witnessed what lengths the DUX will go to just to prove a point. We're not above playing by the rules but if we feel the need to bend them then it's what we do to get ahead. We're not here to entertain you anymore by 'wrestling' each week on the 'DUX Show'! We're here to dominate and judging from the ambulance ride our friend is taking right now we've done a pretty good job of that!
Crowd doesn't know what to make of it but cheers drown out the small sections booing the pair
LJ: I can't disagree. The Gods of War have been lucky enough to fluke a win against the might and power of the DUX before so we're just covering all bases so they don't just happen to get 'lucky' again. There's been a lot of talk saying that the DUX are getting held back. I have to digress and say the DUX haven't been held back...we've been chained down. Since when does a hack team like the GOW get 'lucky' against a team like myself and the Brodster here? I can tell you that it shouldn't happen and everyone knows in the back that it shouldn't happen but for what reasons does it indeed happen?
Brod: I can tell you exactly why it happens little buddy and that's paranoia! It's the paranoid actions of the suits in the back that won't stand for a bunch of new boys proving themselves to be the hottest commodities that this company has seen since day 1! They've seen us light the SEW on fire and they're jealous of the fact that we made them millions! They're also paranoid about the fact that when the DUX came to town they're true fears were realised when LJ and myself made every team to face us look second rate! The Gods of War are a perfect example of why their fears were realised and it's only a matter of time before they have no choice but to put the belts on the rightful waists of the Down Under Xpress!
The mixed reaction from the crowd is met by an 'X' Salute from Brod and LJ when "Click Click Boom" by Saliva hits and Alexander makes an appearance at the top of the ramp. He has a mic in his hand and is about to speak, when he seems to change his mind.
Alexander: Screw this.
The crowd lets out a massive cheer as Alexander tosses away the mic and charges down the ramp to start what is now a handicap match.
Stanyer: What is Alexander thinking? This is exactly what Down Under Xpress want him to do!!!
Credit: Solo
Report: Alexander charges in catching Brod from behind. Brod turns around meeting a big Forearm shot to the head. Brod holds his head lying on the mat. Alexander locks Brod into the Warrior's Demise. Brod struggles to get free as Alexander tightens the hold. Alexander breaks the hold and begins to lay heavy stomps onto Brod. Referee pushes Alexander off Brod as he had been holding the ropes while stomping him. Brod quickly uses the advantage hitting Alexander with a Low Blow while the referee attention is on Alexander. Brod follows up with stomps to the lower extremities. Alexander holds himself as he rolls around the mat. The crowd booing at the action that took place.
Stanyer: This is not a wise move for Alexander, to try and take on DUX on his own.
Poppa: He's acting with his heart and not with his head. He's just too angry about what DUX did to Kull to think straight, and I fear he might join Kull in the hospital.
Brod makes a quick tag to his partner LJ. LJ climbs the turnbuckle as Brod stands Alexander up. LJ flies of nailing Alexander over the head with a Double Axe Handle. LJ then follows up with quick kicks to the head of the fallen Alexander. He proceeds to place Alexander in a Headlock Sleeper. The referee makes sure it is not a chokehold. Alexander slowly fades as LJ tightens his grip. The referee administers the 3 count on Alexander. He raises Alexander's arm lets it fall as the crowd begins to chant. Again the arm falls. On the third attempt the arm falls part way when suddenly Alexander raises it up. Alexander tries to get to his feet as LJ grinds his arms into his head. Alexander now to his feet begins to hit LJ in the gut with elbow shot. After three stiff shots LJ releases the hold allowing Alexander to Irish Whip him into the ropes. On the rebound LJ springs into the air nailing Alexander with a Cross-body Block. The referee leaps into action. 1 2 . Alexander kicks out on two. LJ quickly to his feet waits for Alexander to get up. Once standing, Alexander is met with a Dropkick. As LJ goes to pick Alexander to his feet he is met with a KO Punch. LJ falls flat on his back; Alexander follows him with a leg drop across the head. Picking LJ up off the mat, Alexander Irish Whips LJ into the ropes this time connecting with a stiff Spinebuster. Quickly he places LJ into the Walls of Rome.
Stanyer: Can Alexander pull this one off?
Poppa: If DUX were to lose what is effectively a handicap match, then it would a great embarassment to them, and an outstanding achievement for Alexander.
LJ tries to reach the ropes but is pulled back into the middle of the ring. Brod then intervenes by nailing Alexander in the back with a Clothesline. The referee quickly makes Brod exit the ring. LJ slowly gets to his feet then pulls Alexander to his feet. He quickly sends him into the turnbuckles. LJ lifts Alexander up onto the top turnbuckle. As he climbs to the top he motions to the crowd its time for the Down Under. With a quick motion Alexander flies down onto the mat hard. LJ goes to pin Alexander but Brod yells at him. Shaking his head, Brod extends his hand out to LJ wanting to inflict more damage onto the already beaten Alexander. LJ then tags in his partner Brod. Brod opens up with a flurry of punches while on top of Alexander. He then follows by picking up Alexander to a standing position. He nails him with the 86'er. Alexander lies on the mat holding his head. Brod smiles to the crowd as he looks toward the turnbuckle then Alexander. He slowly climbs up the turnbuckles. Standing at the top he launches himself into the air. Connecting with the Grey Area on Alexander, Brod rolls over top of him. The referee begins to administer the count. 1 2 . Brod pulls Alexander up off the mat before the referee could count three. The crowd begins to boo out of control.
Stanyer: Come on!!! You've got this match won, there's no need for this.
Poppa: They want to send the Gods of War a message, but at this rate, neither of them will be able to remember what that message is.
He gets up and tags LJ in and points at Alexander. LJ nods knowing exactly what needs to be done. Both men begin to stomp Alexander down. LJ picks up Alexander off the mat. Standing with the help of LJ, Alexander is hit in the gut with a kick from Brod. Brod proceeds to set him up for a Piledriver or a Powerbomb. LJ climbs quickly to the top turnbuckle. Once at the top, Brod lifts up Alexander in a stalling position above his head as LJ leaps off nailing Alexander with a Reverse Bulldog. From LJ's momentum Brod follows sending Alexander into a Powerbomb. Alexander lays motionless as both Brod and LJ stand up. They look at each other. Not satisfied they set Alexander up onto the top turnbuckle sitting unconscious. LJ climbs the turnbuckle as Brod climbs the other turnbuckle on the adjacent corner of the ring. LJ sends Alexander falling into the middle of the ring from the Down Under. Brod leaps off the top turnbuckle hitting the Grey Area simultaneously as Alexander hit the mat. Successfully executing the End of the Line, Brod covers the beaten Alexander, with the crowd constantly booing both members of DUX. The referee administers the count. 1 . 2 . 3
Stanyer: Down Under Xpress pick up the win, but this match could, and should have been over a long time ago.
Poppa: DUX punishing both members of the Gods of War. I guess they are trying to show that they are superior to them, but when we get to the PPV, it'll be two on two, and then we'll see who really is the better team.
Stanyer: And I fear that Down Under Xpress will be in for a big surprise when that time comes around.
Ted Tedison is shown standing backstage near the entrance. The door opens up and Gambino walks in carrying his bag over his shoulder
Tedison: Gambino, can you tell us what was on the tape last week?
Gambino stops for a very short moment and looks Tedison right in the eyes. Tedison appears very nervous, maybe even afraid. Gambino then walks away without saying a word
Stanyer: Gambino is on his way out here, right now. We're going to find out just what was on that tape.
Poppa: This has been the question on everyone's lips since the finale of last weeks show. What was on that tape? There have been a thousand rumours floating about, but only one man knows precisely what was on the tape, and that man is Antonio Gambino.
Stanyer: And he is going to tell the entire world.
"I Stand Alone" by Godsmack blasts through the speakers. Gambino appears on the stage, still wearing his street clothes and leather jacket. The crowd cheers him as he makes his way to the ring. Once in the ring, he is handed a microphone.
Gambino: In this business, it's awful hard to make and keep close friends. It's so competitive, everyone fighting for the same thing, to be the best. It makes it damn hard to trust people. I mean, let's face it...fame and money motivate the hell out of people. They make people do things they wouldn't normally do. They can turn a good person bad. Hell, take a look at myself. Look at the things I did for my own well being. I joined the gWo. I lied, cheated, and deceived my way into a Championship reign. Fame and money were damn sure enough of a motivation for me to do the things I did. But on a rare occasion, someone comes along who seems like they would be above the temptations. Someone who you think couldn't give a shit about those things. This is a person you think that you can trust. A person who would have your back when needed and you would have theirs. Someone that, although you might not go out drinking with on the weekends, you can call your friend.
Gambino pauses for a moment as he paces the ring. He appears to be filling up with anger and emotion
Gambino: But then it happens. They fall prey to the temptations that come with this business. Friendship, honour, and loyalty are shit on and then thrown out the fucking window. Then they remove the mask of innocence that they once hid behind, and reveal the truth about themselves. They reveal themselves to us all, for the lying bastards that they really are. I've seen a lot of shit since first starting in this business, but what I saw last week shocked the hell out of me. Had I not seen it with my own two eyes, I would've never believed it. Unfortunately, what I saw on that tape was the absolute truth. Ah, yes...the tape. I know everyone is dying to see what's on it, to see the truth revealed just as I did last week. And you will...right now. Roll the damn footage.
The lights dim as a video plays on the screen. It appears to be a security surveillance video, as hinted by the black and white picture. It is a parking garage, and we see a dark coloured Cadillac Escalade SUV, much like the one that Gambino owns. A man enters the scene and is walking towards the vehicle. It appears to be Outlaw. Suddenly, another man comes out of nowhere holding a 2x4 and whacks Outlaw in the back of the head, sending him crashing to the ground face first. The man hits him repeatedly with the wood, until it finally breaks into 2 pieces. The attacker is none other than, the Boston Massacre himself, Homicide. The screen goes blank and the lights come back on. The crowd are now booing as they've just seen the disturbing footage. Gambino is in a corner of the ring, leaning against the turnbuckle. He shakes his head.
Stanyer: Homicide?
Poppa: Homicide was the guy who beat up Outlaw? I don't understand, I thought it was MVD?
Stanyer: Join the club.
Gambino: In case you couldn't tell by the video. That's my good friend Outlaw, who was visiting Havoc with me that evening. The other guy you saw, the one who beat him down from behind like a damn coward, was Homicide. Homicide!! I know you're in the back, you son a bitch! I think you owe Outlaw, the PWF fans, and myself a damn explanation...and I owe you an ass kicking you'll never forget!
Gambino climbs to the second rope and leans against the turnbuckle, awaiting the arrival of Homicide
As Gambino awaits, the arena goes completely black.. A blur of torturous scenes and screams run over the tron as heavy guitarring builds up in the background.. Messages begin flashing on the tron in the foreground: "Bones are one but are easy breakin.. Life is to be lived, life can be taken.. Seize the chances while they are there, limits are only what one's mind does bear.. ALL ARISE FOR THE FORSAKEN!! The MASSACRE has been AWAKEN!!!" Pyrotechnics explode across the stage, blindingly bright they are as "Awake" by Godsmack is at full intensity and through the flickering red light show, we see the curtain move aside and reveal the new Public Enemy Number One, His Massacreness, Homicide! After taking in the boos of the crowd and the coldness of Gambino's stare, he shrugs it off and raises the mic to his agitated smirk.
Homicide: "Pah-leez!! Of all the people to be making accusations about selling-out and stabbing people in the back, you, Gambino, should be the last in line to talk! You ask for my reasons, but why? You know them without my saying.. Why did you leave Gambino? Huh? Yep, that's right, you just couldn't cut it when it came down to it! When the one thing you wanted most of all was out of your reach and you couldn't accept it, what happened? You sided with the one man, the leader of the one faction that certifies and literally advertises that the only way to survive is underhanded, outnumbering tactics.. Why did you do that, Gambino? Why? You were once a proud, bold man who feared nothing.. NOTHING!!"
The crowd and Gambino alike stare with uneasiness, the 'taboo' facts being spewed into their minds while, slowly, the gears start rolling in each of their heads. A stare of the crowd is heavy on Gambino, yet the hatred for their once favourite star, Homicide, is deeper and more concentrated.
Homicide: "But you see, Gambi, 'ol pal.. You don't wanna talk about the old times, the breakdown that followed.. Deep inside you, your fate became your denial, it ate away at you, it monotoned your thoughts, tunnel-visioned your sight, and blinded your reality.. You lost it, and for that the only coward is the one that doesn't fess up to his actions with the true reasons, YOU!!"
Gambino wears a tightly gritted snarl on his face, but Homicide ignores it, knowing that nothing can be done to censor The Massacre's message. A few brutal tactics may delay the truth from surfacing, but nothing can stop him now from relaying the truth.
Homicide: "On the contrary, I will stand here now and account for my actions.. Why? Because that's what a REAL man does. A REAL man can stand up for himself instead of making excuses and taking short cuts.. You see, this attacking of your buddy, Outlaw, was a message that I am no longer going to stand back while people ruin my chances of golden fortune.. I am not one to be left out of the spotlight, and as strong-willed as I am, I could not stand in the shadows any longer! Darkness may be my friend, but the spotlight is to be MY HOME!! I didn't work my ass off for two fuckin' years, from the dark matches of Armageddon up to the European and US Titles, all the way up to the top, to just stop there!! I had the ultimate prize in my sights, in my grasps, hell, on several accounts it shoulda' been in my possession!!! But NO!! One faction, one man stood in my way.. Jason Hunt may have delayed me from realizing it, but it t'was not him.. It was the former PWF World Heavyweight Champion, Matt Van Dam, who was really behind this whole conspiracy to hold me back. He was the commissioner for a time, he was the champion at that time, and he friended my biggest enemies over that very same time.. All I wanted was to show him the wrath of my frustrations in the only method I know, and that is to UNLEASH the MASSACRE!!! ..Then what Gambino? Who stopped me? Ah, yes, it's was you.. You and your little bitch-boy, Outlaw.."
Stanyer: Come on? Does he really expect us to believe that he did that JUST to get his hands on MVD?
Poppa: Come to think of it, you've a damn good point, if he really wanted to get his hands on MVD, he could have challenged MVD directly, why did he have to go after Outlaw?
Stanyer: The 6 man tag match that night did not mean that much, there's no way I can accept that.
Various chants fill the arena, criticizing The Massacre and mocking him. What the crowd doesn't RECOGNIZE is they mean NOTHING to him anymore, and it is questioned if they ever did.
Homicide: "So now do you see, Sir Antonio? Your friend stole my chance at payback, much less the spotlight once more, and holding back is not my specialty.. I support my words with actions, and I also keep my promises. I promised myself that hell would be to he whom stood in my path, and now that MVD is gone and my opportunity spoiled once more, someone was to be held accountable, and it started with him.. He is now disposed of, and who is left?"
Gambino is ready to snap. Homicide knows it, and proceeds into taking full advantage of Gambino's emotions..
Homicide: "Alas, my plan works to perfection! Now.."
Gambino can take it no longer!
Gambino: "If you are a man of action, a man of truth, then why didn't you just say you wanted a piece of Matt? Ah, that's right, you're nothing but a coward with a shit excuse to match your inadequate skills.."
Homicide: "Pardon, Senior Sell-Out?"
Gambino is growing red in the face and bursting at the seams.
Gambino: "That's it! I'm sick of your bullshit, let's settle this like REAL men! Step into the ring and we'll see what's up then!?!"
Homicide boastfully laughs.
Homicide: "You're not worth a second of my spotlight nor a drop of my sweat, old man.. You couldn't get it done alone before, you're just as yellow now.. Why else do you drag around Outlaw? That's what I thought, later pal.."
"Awake" by Godsmack hits the speakers once again, and His Massacreness flaunts his back to Gambino as he swaggers back behind the curtain, much to the shegrin and extreme displeasure of the fans as they erupt in boos.
Stanyer: Gambino looks like he will explode any moment now.
Poppa: I feel sorry for Sandstorm, he has to face Gambino in the main event!!!
Stanyer: I just don't understand why Homicide did what he did? There is definitely something else here, he's hiding something, but what?
Poppa: I guess we will have to wait and see.
We see Barry and Leroy standing backstage, they both have mics and are looking into the camera.
Barry: You know, we put up with a lot of crap round here.
Leroy: People don't take us seriously, we have a crappy locker room, we always have to do the 2 am autograph slot.
Barry: But we don't complain. We carry on stoicly, fighting the good fight, kicking ass and... kicking more ass. We are Brutal Force, and that is what we do.
Leroy: However, those two punks, Inmate and the other one.
Barry: Jagged.
Leroy: Huh?
Barry: His name is Jagged.
Leroy: Oh, yeah. Actually, I am not so sure about that.
Barry: You think it is a made up name?
Leroy: No, well maybe, but that isn't what I meant. We all know Inmate is nutzo, right?
Barry: Crazier than a monkey on the moon. Everyone knows that.
Leroy: Right, and a lot of crazy people have that multiple personality disorder. Maybe, Jagged is a figment of Inmates warped psyche. Like that Milder Burden guy from Fight Club.
Barry: Riiight, so you are saying that a well known PWF superstar doesn't actually exist?
Leroy: I might be saying that...
Barry: So, what about all the matches we have had with him?
Leroy: Hypnosis.
Barry: And all the hours of videotape of him on TV?
Leroy: Cheap CGI. You notice his ears. They can never do the ears right. That's how you tell.
Barry: Hmm... well now you come to mention it... But wait, I thought multiple personalities are supposed to represent a hidden part of someone's personality. But Inmate and Jagged are both deranged psychopaths. How do you explain that?
Leroy: It just goes to show how crazy he really is. They, I mean 'he', was crazy enough to cost us our rightful Number One contenders spot last week, knowing full well that we would brutalise them, or 'him', for it.
Barry: Right, no one does that to Brutal Force. Especially not some freak with an imaginary friend. Tonight, it's time for Brutal Force Vs. Anger Management. Tonight, it's Brutalising Time!!!!!!
Leroy: Word, or something.
Fade out
Ted Tedison is stood outside a locker room labelled "Playaz", waiting for Davey K to emerge, just as Ted is about to knock on the door there is a loud smashing of glass and splashing of water. At this point the door opens and Davey appears with water on his face
Davey: And when I come back, I'm going to shove that bottle of water right into your water loving a.....aaaah, hello Ted.
Tedison: Problems Davey?
Davey: Well lets see, I have a water loving retard that follows me everywhere and he has now set up a water refining gizmo all over my freakin' locker room.
Tedison: Refining?
Davey: Yeah, you heard me, refining, basically you take the finest of H20, pour it through the first tube, the water will then be transported.....oh god, I'm beginning to sound like him aren't I. Well the hell is Masta P? Oh he's probably hating Rex Idol somewhere.
Tedison: Moving away from water for a moment.
Davey: Please can we move away from water, its all I've heard about for the last....Davey checks his watch, 1 hour and 23 minutes. Where the hell are my ladies? I always used to have ladies....
Tedison: Take a read of this
Ted passes Davey a book labelled "Gimmicks 2003 - PWF Copy"
Davey: Hmmm, lets see, oh rite....and I carry a poodle to the ring......oh a pot of noodles, hmm, unconvinced over that, Masta P to have a car salesman gimmick...."Honest" P. This is interesting stuff, but I'm tired of reading.
Tedison: Davey, what are your feelings about Sandstorm?
Davey: He is man with inner beauty and I would like to take him out for steak. What do you think my feelings are? Dammit Ted, did you see Havoc last week. Havoc's big night, I came out right at the beginning and got myself a title shot! It was all going great I completely nailed Gambino with a Superstar Slam and it was my time, but the that whingy little ass bitch Sandstorm came down to the ring, where he had no business to be and got up in my face and ruined the whole thing. What the hell is his problem with Davey? Everyone loves Davey, I'm like a modern day Billy the Kid, but without the guns.
Tedison: Well in an interview he blames you for him not winning the U.S title, as you knocked him off the ladder.
Davey: What? That's his reason? The man is a bufoon! What did the stupid sandy ass freak expect me to do, let him win? What a pile of shit, I wanted to keep my title and I wasn't going to let that jackass walk out of there with the U.S title over his shoulder. He is a) a loser, a sand freak and c) a whingy little ass bitch. And I'm not going to let this incident rest.
Tedison: So what are you saying?
Davey: Well maybe tonite will be my first step in taking that little bitch down. Sandstorm, this is a message to you, you have got into the Superstar's business and that was your first error, tonight I'm going to make sure their are no more errors made.
Tedison: Thank you Davey.
Stanyer: Welcome back folks.
Poppa: I still can't believe that Homicide was the guy who attacked Outlaw.
Stanyer: I don't think any of the fans in the arena can either, and I doubt any of them believed a word of what Homicide said.
Poppa: There is some truth in his words, the gWo are responsible for him never having held the PWF World Title.
Stanyer: That much is true, but why involve Gambino, and why didn't he go after Gambino directly? Why go through Outlaw? Too much of this doesn't make sense.
Poppa: I guess we need time to divulge all the information, and to sort out just exactly what is going through Homicide's head at the moment.
Stanyer: Well, we'll get back to the normal action now, as Anger Management are to face Brutal Force. This one is a result of the Tag Title #1 Contenders match last week. Brutal Force eliminated Anger Management, and they didn't take it too well, and promptly came back out to help DUX defeat Brutal Force.
Poppa: A meeting in the backstage area earlier tonight certainly didn't help matters either.
Stanyer: This one could turn nasty.
"Mama Said Knock You Out" hits. Leroy and Barry emerge from the back. Leroy bows to the crowd, but Barry keeps on walking towards the ring, oblivious to everything else. Leroy hurrys to catch up with Barry, and trys to get his partner to dance to the music. Barry ignores him, doing a little shadow boxing, and never taking his eyes off of the ring. Barry climbs into the ring and slumps down in Brutal Forces corner. Leroy flips in and starts doing a matial arts/dance demonstration in the centre of the ring. Barry just sits there, staring directly at his opponents corner.
James: Introducing at a combined weight of 442lbs, Leroy Greene and Barry Burton, TEAM BRUTAL FORCE!!!.
"Psycho" by System of a Down hits as the arena lights dim. There is an explosion of fire on the stage as "Anger Management" comes across the Tron, Jagged and Inmate make their way through the curtain. Both look mean and angry, they pay little attention to their surroundings and head straight for the ring. They slide into the ring, ready for the fight.
James: Introducing at a combined weight of 531lbs, Jagged & Inmate, ANGER MANAGEMENT!!!!
Report: Brutal Force are deciding who should start the match, but Inmate decides for them by clobbering Leroy across the back with a clubbing forearm. Inmate then hammers Leroy with a pair of right hands before whipping him hard into the ropes. Inmate crashes into Leroy with a heavy shoulder block. Leroy gets up holding his chest, then Inmate makes sure he's in pain with a heavy knee across that chest. Inmate delivers a hard uppercut and then promptly levels Leroy with a stiff clothesline. Inmate drags Leroy up and then mauls him backwards into his corner. He tags in Jagged and then begins to stomp him down. Jagged joins him and they double-team Leroy until Referee Morgan Black forces Inmate to leave the ring. Jagged pulls Leroy up and then slams him face first into the turnbuckle. Jagged pulls Leroy out holding his head and giving him some trash talk, he then knocks him flat on his back with an evil Headbutt. Jagged goes for the cover. 1 ..2 . Barry comes in and breaks up the pinfall. Jagged drags Leroy up and then lifts him up and then drives him down onto his outstretched knee with a hard Backbreaker. Jagged drags Leroy up again and delivers a hard right, leaving Leroy staggering around the ring. Jagged then irish whips Leroy into the ropes, but Leroy tries to catch Jagged off guard with a Spinning Wheel Kick. Unfortunately for Brutal Force, Jagged spots the attempted counter and plucks Leroy out of mid-air, he adjusts his position and then plants Leroy with a Front Powerslam. He looks around at the crowd with an aggressive look, and then he hooks the leg for the cover. .1 .2 . Leroy shoots his arm off the canvas just as Barry kicks Jagged out of the cover.
Stanyer: It's just all Anger Management at the moment, Leroy just can't get a look in.
Poppa: Jagged & Inmate have a massive size and strength advantage, and they are using it to full effect. And they also have the crazed psychopath stuff, although whether that's an advantage is debatable.
Stanyer: Well, you've got Inmate, who it's hard NOT to piss off, and you've Jagged, who is aggressive under normal conditions, when he is angry, he destroys everything in sight.
Poppa: When Jagged get's pissed off, you want to be in a different zip code.
Jagged pulls Leroy up to his feet and knees him hard in the gut and then takes him over to his corner in a headlock. He tags Inmate in, who circles around Leroy and then delivers a vile kick to the gut. Inmate takes over the headlock and then drives a hard elbow into the back of Leroy's head. He holds onto the headlock so he can deliver three more stiff elbows to the back of the head. Inmate hoists Leroy up and then Snake Eye's him on the top rope. Leroy staggers off holding his throat, Inmate casually lifts him up and then delivers a nightmare Snapover Spinebuster. He goes for the cover. .1 ..2 .. Barry breaks up the count with a boot to the head. Inmate drags the near unconscious Leroy up to his feet and whips him hard into a neutral corner. Inmate then hits Leroy with a vicious pair of boxing style Body Punches.
Stanyer: How is Leroy still in this contest? He's taking so much punishment.
Poppa: Only God knows the answer to that. And we can't ask him, he's on Defiance.
Stanyer: Didn't you squeeze in a Nightshade joke last week?
Poppa: I can't remember, if I did, then I'm 2 for 2!!! Better get working on one for next week, just in case.
Stanyer: I think we should concentrate on the match instead.
Inmate lifts Leroy up to the top rope and then climbs up himself. He sets up a big Superplex, but Leroy counters with what might be a low blow, Morgan Black doesn't call it, and it means Leroy can push Inmate down to the mat. Leroy then takes deep breaths as he summons up all of his remaining strength to stand up. Inmate is getting to his feet, looking pretty pissed off. Leroy dives off and catches Inmate flush in the face with a Two Footed Dropkick. Inmate crashes into the canvas holding his face, Leroy also stays down as Morgan Black begins the mandatory 10 count.
Stanyer: I think that was a low blow by Leroy Greene, but he got away with it.
Poppa: And it may have given Team Brutal Force a chance of winning this contest.
Leroy crawls slowly over towards his corner, stretching out to try and tag in Barry. Inmate crawls over towards Jagged and gets the tag first. Jagged races into the ring and just grabs Leroy's leg before he can tag in Barry. The crowd make their disappointment known, but then they give out a mighty cheer as Leroy stuns Jagged with an Enziguri Kick, and then dives to make the tag to Barry Burton. Jagged is quick to his feet and gets flattened by an awesome right hand from Barry Burton. Inmate wearily tries to attack Barry, but gets floored by a devastating running clothesline. Barry gears up and then knocks Jagged off his feet with a devastating clothesline. Jagged gets up again and Barry whips him into the ropes. He then picks Jagged up and delivers a devastating Tilt-a-Whirl Slam. Barry gets up as Inmate charges at him, but Barry moves swiftly and smashes Inmate into the canvas with a classic Spinebuster. Barry pulls Jagged up and plants him with the Brutalaliser (Blue Thunder Pin). He holds on for the cover. .1 2 . Inmate dives and breaks up the count. Inmate staggers to his feet, ready to attack Barry, but then Leroy comes sailing over Barry and takes Inmate out with a perfect Spinning Wheel Kick. Barry gets to his feet and waits for Jagged to get up, and then flattens him with a Shoulder Tackle. He then waits for Jagged to get up again, and this time charges in with a clothesline, but Jagged ducks and Barry knocks down poor Morgan Black. Barry spins around to see Jagged charging in with a clothesline, but the Italian is sent flying over the top rope with a Back Body Drop. Barry considers going after Jagged, but then Leroy attracts his attention.
Poppa: Looks like Brutal Force want to finish Inmate off.
Stanyer: They've not done this double team move very often, but since they last did it, they've given it a name, the "Brutal Brainbuster".
Inmate is standing in the centre of the ring, staggering around. Leroy stands directly behind him, coiled up ready for one of his awesome kicks. Barry comes off the ropes and delivers a devastating Headbutt as Leroy delivers a full power Back Brainkick. Inmate crashes to the canvas like a tree that's just been cut down.
Stanyer: Inmate's lights just got turned out, burned out and smashed into a million pieces. Awesome stuff from Brutal Force.
Poppa: Hey!!! What the hell do you think your doing!!! That's my monitor!!
Jagged rips one of the monitors from the announcer's table, he drags it with him into the ring, yanking the wires off, and being lucky not to get electrocuted.
Stanyer: Oh oh, things just turned sour for Team Brutal Force.
Brutal Force hi-five, completely unaware of what is going on behind them and then Leroy finds out the hard way as he is knocked out by Jagged, thanks to a blow to the back of the head with the monitor. Barry is too stunned to react in time, and Jagged smashes the monitor into his head as well, he then angrily tosses it out of the ring. Blood drips from the foreheads of both members of Brutal Force.
Stanyer: Jagged has absolutely devastated Brutal Force.
Poppa: And all without the referee seeing a damn thing.
Morgan Black is just waking up as Jagged pulls Barry away from Leroy, he realises the referee is awake and makes the cover, the result no longer in doubt. Morgan Black makes a slow count. .1 2 3!!! Jagged gets up with a sick smile on his face, as Inmate is beginning to come around.
Stanyer: Anger Management pick up the win in a chaotic matchup.
Poppa: Brutal Force need some medical attention, they could have concussions, or worse injuries. You any idea how much one of those monitors weighs?
Stanyer: I've no idea, but they are indeed heavy, and here come the EMT's to aid Brutal Force. I think Inmate probably needs some medical attention as well, he could very well have a concussion, but I doubt he'll accept any help, so it really doesn't matter.
Jagged helps Inmate up and then celebrate in the ring as the EMT's check on the condition of Team Brutal Force.
Stanyer: We'll leave the EMT's to check on Leroy & Barry while we take a short commercial break.
Shockwave is seen standing in the hall out by his locker room. He slowly takes a cup out of the water cooler and fills it up and lifts it to his mouth to have a drink. Toby Benson walks up to Shockwave...
Benson: Ummm....
Shockwave: Yes how may I help you.
Benson: I was just here to ask you a few questions. You said you were going to tell the world tonight what your poems mean.
Shockwave lifts the cup of water back up to his mouth and looks at Toby
Shockwave: Why should I tell you what they mean? You didn't even have enough manners to greet me politely. Not even a hello or excuse me. You're just like everyone else here. Ignorant. But none the less, I guess I will answer the questions that you are going to ask me.
Benson: Well I am wondering probably what everyone else is wondering what does all your poems mean?
Shockwave: Well the reason that everyone is wondering is that society today is to damn stupid this day and age. You people are brain washed by television and you rap music. You're all mindless zombies. Wandering around with nothing on their minds following in the footsteps of all the mindless non-sense that is broadcasted over the television.
Shockwave takes a taste of his water again as he begins to speak again.
Shockwave: That's why I don't get considered here in this place. People are too stupid to see real talent. I am the most talented and most out spoken person here in this fed. But no one cares about me. I am nothing to all these people. You wanna know why I use poems? I use poems because I am doing something different then just getting on the mic and trash-talking people with whatever comes off the top of my head. When I get ready to cut a promo I put time and effort into what I say. I don't cut to the chase and say what I got to say. I am the only one in this fed that is doing something different and I am getting outcasted for it. No one else but me takes the most effort to put together a good promo. That's why I deserve better I deserve to be the best. I am going to be the best. I am going to prove myself because I take the time and put together a promo that no one else in this business can do and that's what makes me unique. Well Now I got a question for the rest of the wrestlers. Do you serve a purpose or purposely serve? What is it guys?
Shockwave then takes the cup of water and throws it in the face of Toby Benson. Just as he is about to turn around Venom comes running around the corner and nails Shockwave in the arm with a lead pipe. Shockwave falls to the ground holding his arm in pain. Shockwave is rolling around on the ground screaming in pain. Venom then raises the pipe above his head when officials come running and force Venom to stop his attack. Venom walks off with a big smile on his face as Shockwave stands back up holding his arm looking at Venom with an evil look on his face as EMT's come to check on his arm.
Sandstorm is seen backstage, walking towards his dressing room door to pack up, but is stopped by Ted Tedison.
Tedison: Sandstorm, the whole world has been waiting for a response from you, why did you so violently attack Superstar Davey K last week?
Sandstorm glares viciously at Tedison, and brushes past him and into his locker room.
Stanyer: A vicious attack from Venom on Shockwave, I'm told that Shockwave could have a broken arm and is on his way to a local medical facility.
Poppa: Ouch, not good news for Shockwave, and what's up with Sandstorm? He didn't even speak to Ted Tedison.
Stanyer: We were hoping for some kind of explanation of what he did last week, but I guess we'll be forced to wait until he is ready to explain himself.
Poppa: He's got to face a seriously pissed off Gambino next, I guess he needs to focus all of his energy on this match.
Stanyer: Indeed, Gambino will not be in a very good mood.
The lights dim in the arena and the fans start to wonder who will be coming through the curtain. Yellow, and black lasers shoot down towards the stage and smoke enclouds the rampway. The titantron lights up with the name "Sandstorm" on it in sand. A huge gust of wind can be heard and the name on the titantron blows away. All of a sudden, "Shutdown" by Pitchshifter erupts over the P.A system and the fans start to cheer. Sandstorm suddenly emerges from the smoke and struts down to the ring, slapping the fans' hands on his way. He enters the ring and does his signature taunt. The music cuts off, and the lights turn on. Sandstorm waits in the ring for his unlucky foe to make his presence felt.
James: Introducing from Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, weighing 266lbs, "The Rage of the Sahara", SANDSTORM
The arena lights dim as "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack blares through the sound system. The Gambino logo flashes across the tron screen, as various highlights from Gambino's career are shown. Red lights flash throughout the arena, creating a strobe light effect. More red lights shine upon the stage, near the entrance area. A spot light aims towards the entrance, as Gambino steps forward onto the stage and into the light. He walks further onto the stage, stopping at the top of the ramp. He raises his arms in the air as if to celebrate, then makes his way down the ramp. Once he reaches the ring, he climbs in and walks to a corner. He climbs the turnbuckle and looks out over the crowd as he once again raises his arms to the air. He then climbs down from the turnbuckle and awaits the beginning of the match.
James: Introducing, from Brooklyn, New York, weighing 245lbs, ANTONIO GAMBINO
Report: Gambino immediately charges in and opens up with a volley of right hands. Sandstorm gets in a couple of shots as well, but Gambino's anger is driving him on and he dominates Sandstorm with the heavy blows. He whips Sandstorm into the ropes and then crashes into him with a clothesline. He demands that Sandstorm get up and then promptly smashes him back down with a 2nd clothesline. Sandstorm gets to his feet and Gambino spears him backwards into the turnbuckle and then hits a couple more shoulder blocks before he begins to stomp Sandstorm down into the turnbuckle. Gambino continues the aggressive stomping until Morgan Black finally pulls him away from the corner. Gambino and the referee exchange words, and then Gambino goes back to Sandstorm and pulls him to his feet. Gambino whips Sandstorm as hard as he possibly can into the opposite corner, Sandstorm crashes into the corner chest first and then rebounds to the mat. Gambino then mounts Sandstorm and begins to pound his face with hard right hands. Again Morgan Black has to drag Gambino off Sandstorm, and this time Sandstorm rolls out of the ring to escape the punishment. Gambino & Morgan Black again exchange angry words. Gambino leaves the ring and goes after Sandstorm, who tries to catch Gambino off guard with a big right hand, but Gambino takes it and then levels Sandstorm with a heavy right of his own. He pulls Sandstorm up and then lifts him over his shoulder and promptly Snake Eyes him on the barricade. Gambino then spears Sandstorm back and drives him into the Steel Steps. Gambino then drags Sandstorm up and slams his face into the top of the steps, before rolling him back into the ring.
Stanyer: We said it before the match started, Gambino would be an aggressive mood tonight. And we were not wrong.
Poppa: Sandstorm will do well just to survive this match, let alone win it.
Gambino rolls back into the ring and helps Sandstorm up to his feet. He then goes behind and plants him with a Back Drop. Gambino then goes for a cover. .1 2 Sandstorm kicks out. Gambino pulls Sandstorm up to his feet and then holds him in position as he delivers three heavy knees to the gut. He then hooks both arms and drives him headfirst into the canvas with the Double Arm DDT. Gambino then hooks the leg for a cover. .1 2 . Sandstorm kicks out again. Gambino seems to be calming down a little, and getting into his normal match mode. He pulls Sandstorm up and then delivers an old school Vertical Suplex. He then comes off the ropes and drives an Elbow into the heart of Sandstorm. He then goes for a third cover in as many minutes. ..1 ..2 .. Sandstorm kicks out for a third time. Gambino pull Sandstorm up, but as he is being lifted up, Sandstorm headbutts Gambino directly in the groin, doubling him over. Referee Morgan Black misses it completely and Sandstorm quickly comes off the ropes and delivers a Swinging Neckbreaker. He then stays down to recover
Stanyer: Sandstorm uses an illegal move to get himself back in contention.
Poppa: He could have just made Gambino even more angry though, you never quite know.
Stanyer: A good point, we shall see.
Sandstorm gets to his feet, Gambino is also getting up, albeit a little slower than Sandstorm. Gambino takes a boot to the gut and then Sandstorm delivers a 2nd Swinging Neckbreaker. Sandstorm then rolls Gambino over and delivers some precision kicks, aimed directly at Gambino's neck. Sandstorm sits down on Gambino's back and locks in a Camel Clutch, wrenching back on the neck. Morgan Black slides down to ask Gambino if he wants to give up, but Sandstorm isn't looking for a submission, as he releases the hold shortly afterwards. He pulls Gambino up, who is holding the back of his neck. Sandstorm goes around the back of Gambino and delivers a couple of forearms to the back of the neck and then lifts Gambino up and drives him neck and shoulders first into the mat with a High Angle Back Drop. Gambino rolls over holding his neck, and immediately Sandstorm locks on the Camel Clutch. Gambino actually manages to fight his way out of it, but a few blows to the neck from Sandstorm allows him to lock it back in once again. Again Sandstorm doesn't look for a submission, just to do more damage to the neck. He rolls Gambino over and then goes for a cover. 1 ..2 . Gambino kicks out, but then reaches for his neck a second later. Sandstorm pulls the hurting Gambino up to his feet and whips him into the ropes, Sandstorm slides past Gambino and then snaps him down with a Hangman's Neckbreaker. Sandstorm goes for another cover. 1 ..2 .. Gambino just gets his shoulder up. Sandstorm drags Gambino up and then lifts him up into a Torture Rack position, he then coils up and swings him out into the Mummification (Rack Pancake), which again does damage to the neck. Gambino grips his neck as Sandstorm once again goes for a cover. ..1 .2 .. Gambino just gets his shoulder up. Sandstorm pulls Gambino up to his feet and then goes behind and hooks him in position for a Reverse DDT. He delivers the Reverse DDT and then pulls Gambino up to his feet, and delivers a 2nd violent Reverse DDT. Again he pulls Gambino up to his feet, and this time drives him neck first into the bridge of his knee. Then he locks on the Infinite Rest (Dragon Sleeper). Gambino struggles a little, but then he starts to get weaker and weaker.
Stanyer: This could be the end for Gambino, Sandstorm has the Dragon Sleeper locked in tightly, I can't see a way out for him at this time.
Poppa: Never count out a man like Gambino, you just never know what he might have up his sleeve.
Morgan Black watches Gambino's arm slump to the canvas and then he raises his arm, and it drops once. He raises it up a 2nd time and again it drops. The crowd sounds disappointed, but start a Gambino chant anyway. The arm goes up a third and final time and drops, but at the last moment, Gambino's arm jerks up, showing there is still life in there. The cheers and the Gambino chants send adrenaline rushing through Gambino's body as he suddenly starts to fight his way up. Sandstorm still has the Dragon Sleeper locked in, but Gambino grabs the arm and at lightning speed he twists his way out and then a split second later knocks Sandstorm down with a perfect Mafia Kick, he then collapses to the mat, out of breath.
Stanyer: Unbelievable resilience from Gambino, I've no idea how he found a way out of that Dragon Sleeper Hold.
Poppa: That's why he's the PWF World Champion, he has to be able to do these things.
Morgan Black's ten count reaches 8 before both men are standing. Sandstorm gets in a couple of right hands, but Gambino takes over with hard lefts and rights sending Sandstorm reeling into the ropes. Gambino then whips Sandstorm into the ropes and then snaps him over with a Powerslam before hooking the leg for a cover. .1 .2 . Sandstorm powers out. Gambino waits for him to get up and then boots him in the gut, he then drives him into the mat with a Jumping Piledriver. He hooks the leg again. ..1 2 . Sandstorm just kicks out this time. Gambino waits for Sandstorm to sluggishly get to his feet. He then grabs him across the chest and Sandstorm finds himself In Harm's Way (Sambo Suplex). Gambino covers again. ..1 ..2 . Sandstorm just gets his shoulder up. Gambino drags Sandstorm up and then goes to finish him off with the Gambino Facebuster, but Sandstorm scores with a couple of elbows to the side of the head and pushes Gambino away into the ropes. Sandstorm then lifts Gambino over his shoulders, looking for the Anubis Driver, but Gambino escapes and lands behind Sandstorm, he takes a few steps back and then as Sandstorm turns around, he goes for a 2nd Mafia Kick, but Sandstorm ducks this one and Gambino takes out referee Morgan Black. Gambino doesn't look too bothered about what he has done and turns around to face Sandstorm, who kicks him straight in the groin. Sandstorm then hooks Gambino up and delivers The Mirage (Cradle DDT). Sandstorm goes for a cover, before realising that Morgan Black is down and out. Sandstorm goes over to try and wake up the referee when a phenomenal cheer thunders around the arena.
Stanyer: It's the Superstar, DAVEY K!!!!
Poppa: And he's out for revenge.
Davey K slides into the ring behind Sandstorm and waits for him to turn around and then boots him hard in the gut. Davey hooks both arms and then plants Sandstorm with the Superstar Slam (Pedigree). Davey shakes the referee to wake him up and then rolls out of the ring. Gambino is starting to get up, and is shaking the cobwebs out of his eyes, he looks around and sees Sandstorm down, he looks around to see what's happened, and then he crawls over and makes the cover. Morgan Black is aware enough to make a count, albeit a slow one. .1 2 .3!!!
Stanyer: With the help of Davey K, Gambino defeats Sandstorm, and surprisingly, no appearance by Homicide.
Poppa: Looks like Davey K wants a bit more of Sandstorm, he's got a Steel Chair.
Gambino has rolled out of the ring and is heading up the ramp, holding the back of his neck, which Sandstorm worked on for so much of the contest. Davey K is waiting for Sandstorm to get to his feet, Gambino sees what's happening on the Tron and turns around to watch the action. Sandstorm slowly staggers to his feet and then Davey K rattles him with a violent chairshot across the head. Davey K then finishes Sandstorm off with two more chairshots, he then looks around at the crowd, as they are booing loudly. But it isn't him they are booing, we cut to the entrance where Gambino is smiling at the punishment Sandstorm just took, unbeknownst to him, Homicide is standing behind him, brass knuckles on both hands. Gambino turns around and is instantly knocked down by the Boston Haymaker. Homicide then mounts Gambino and begins to pound him with hard left and right brass knuckle shots. Davey K leaves Sandstorm and runs up the ramp with his steel chair. But Homicide pulls away from Gambino and backs away through the entranceway with an evil smile on his face. Gambino's face is a bloody mess as Davey K protects him, steel chair in hand.
Stanyer: My God, Gambino's face has been mashed to a pulp.
Poppa: What has happened to Homicide? This is not the man we used to know.
Stanyer: Dammit, we are out of time, we'll see you next week folks.
The last shot is of EMT's checking on Gambino's injuries, as Davey K watches on.
