Dan: And we're back! Ladies and Gentlemen, I was just informed that the AICW Pay Per View would be entitled "AICW - NO GIMMICKS NEEDED" Live on Saturday, February 22nd from The Georgia Dome. Tickets go on sale this Tuesday! In the Main Event, you will see The AICW Heavyweight Champion, "Hard Line" Byron Brady taking on The De... I mean just plain on Kyle Bane! Knick Man: That is if Brady is still the champion February 22nd! Remember, on the 16th, he has that "Fans Choice" match! He could end up fighting anybody! Even THE KNICK MAN! Dan: You're not signed to an AICW contract! Knick Man: SO! You think I wouldn't sign a deal if I got a world title shot in my debut match? You must be crazy! I'd signed in a second! Dan: More matches will be announced this Monday! Make sure you're there for that one! Standing by, we have Reba Kola with THE FIRM! Reba Kola: We've been seeing one of the premier stables of the AICW having some problems lately, and I wanted to now bring out the leader of the stable to tell it to me straight. He's the reigning International Champion, "8 Ball" Vic Garibaldi!! (The music starts, the lights dim and spotlights sweep to the entrance ramp. Rita and Cyn walk out in cocktail dresses. Then Oswald Bates enters in a dark suit. He knocks fists with the ladies.) Dan Chan: That's not Vic Garibaldi! That's Oswald Bates! (Bates gestures and Vic saunters in, cocky looking as ever. The ensemble approaches the ring, and Vic holds the ropes for the other three. Vic jumps onto the second turnbuckle.) Vic: FAHGETTABOUTIT!!! Dan Chan: And Gino Valentini, conspicuous by his abscence. We know that The Firm has been having problems lately. Let's see if Reba can get to the bottom of this. Reba Kola: Now Vic, what do you have to say about the problems you've been having with Gino Valentini lately? Vic: Toots, let me tell you, you don't know what you're seeing. I don't have a problem with Knuckles. I never had a problem with Knuckles. My man Oz has a problem with Knuckles. And everybody knows that if Oz has a problem, then I got a problem. And if I got a problem... then there's a problem. Reba: Quit talking in circles, Vic, it's unattractive. (Vic and Ozzy laugh a little.) Vic: Oz, you hear that? What a screwed up broad! Now what I'm going to do, is do what any good businessman would do when he has a problem with his colleagues. I'm going to give the floor to Mr. Bates, and then I'm going to hear what Mr. Valentini has to say. Based on their arguments, I'll decide which is the best course of action to follow. Best for Mr. Bates, best for Mr. Valentini, and best for Mr. Garibaldi. And after that, I can get into what's best for Ms. Kola. (He's laughing again.) Reba: You can keep on dreaming, Vic. (Suddenly angry.) Vic: Hey! It was Ozzy's turn to talk, dame. Know your place! Dan Chan: What a bully! Vic: Mr. Bates, the floor is yours. Bates: You see..the last couple of week, Gino and I haven't quite been seeing eye to eye with each other. When he cost me the TV title though, that was the last straw. He just wants me to get taken out, since he can't win the title. Since I am better than him, he goes and ruins my shot. Well Gino...here's the deal. Get your ass out here now! (Nothing happens) Bates: Gino...we know you're here. Get your @$$ out here now! (Suddenly, a disruption is heard in the crowd as the camera spots Gino Valentini walking through the crowd and towards the ring to a huge hometown crowd pop. Gino jumps over the railing wearing blue jeans and a black t-shirt, and the rest of The Firm sees him. He enters the ring casually with a smirk on his face.) Bates: What the h$%@ is so funny? (Vic grabs the mic again.) Vic: Gino, don't do this, man. I don't get why you think you're better than The Firm, but that seems to be what the deal is. You hop all over my *EX*-girlfriend. You cost Oz a match for the TV title you wanted so badly, and you're running on your own like you don't need us. Yeah, F--k you you don't need us. Is this about my belt? Look, G, here's what it boils down to. Me and Ozzy are Firm until you put us in the ground. And I know Cyn's with Ozzy until she's done. And Rita... Rita's here. That ain't a question. But I hear the name Gino Valentini, and I see the question mark. So, I gotta know so I can tell payroll, if nothing else. So you're with us, and we ride high like only The Firm can, or you walk away, no hard feelings. What's it gonna be, Knuckles? (Vic hands the mic to Gino, who takes it and paces around the ring for about 30 seconds. Gino and Oswald Bates never lose eye contact until Gino looks right into the eyes of Vic Garibaldi and begins to speak.) Gino: First of all, Vic, let me inform you, that Gino Valentini doesn't think he's better than The Firm. The Firm is a family, and I am 100% a part of that family... We're just having some "family problems" shall we say. And it's not about you, your woman, or your title... Vic, I don't have a problem with you at all... My problem is with this man (Gino points to Ozzy), and it's on the real, so just step aside and let us settle this problem like men. (Vic nods his head and takes a step back as Gino takes a step forward and once again stares right into the eyes of Oswald Bates.) Gino: You, my friend, say we aren't seeing eye to eye? Well you're damn right! But right now I'm looking into your eyes, and I can see that you would like nothing better than rip my heart out, have it deep-fried, and served to you on a silver platter. But what you need to remember, Ozzy, is that you're the one who started this, not me! Ozzy, you claim to be from Sicily, but both you and I know that ain't the truth... Because if you did come for Sicily like you say, you would know better then to go callin' somebodyout behind their back, especially when that person is Gino "Knuckles" Valentini! "F#*k Gino?!" No, no... If you were really from Sicily, you would no better than to do something like that. And now again tonight, Ozzy... You wanna come out here sayin' that you're better than me?! No... If you're so much better than me, Ozzy, then where's your undefeated record?! Where's your #2 contendership to the AICW International Title?! Now you say I wrecked your chances at becoming a champion?! Bates, Walcott had you beat, and even if it weren't for our little "miscommunication," you still would of been left laying on your back because you don't have what it takes to be a champion! But me... I do. I do have what it takes to be a champion... And in due time, both you, (Gino points to Ozzy) and you Vic (Gino points to Vic), are going to find that out... (Gino once again starts to walk and pace around the ring while talking on the mic.) Gino: And for right now, Vic, I don't need you... Rita, I don't need you... Ozzy, I sure as hell don't need you... And you, (Gino points to Cyn.) Heh... I already had my way with you... (Ozzy starts to rush Gino, but he is held back by Vic as the crowd pops and Gino taunts Ozzy while Vic is holding him back.) (Gino drops the mic and continues to taunt Ozzy with obscene gestures as he walks back to the locker room, leaving all members of The Firm in the ring, both upset and angry.) Dan: Wo HO! Tension in The Firm? Gino looks royally upset! Knick Man: I would pay GOOD MONEY, to see Gino fight Ozzy! And make Vic the special guest referee! HA HA! Dan: Coming up next, we have The Main Event! "The Golden Boy" Johnny Smith will be taking on Legion! And remember, Kyle Bane has disbaned The Demonweb, so Legion will be on his own for this one! Let's go to the ring! (DING DING DING) Andy Burton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Cleveland Ohio, weighing 260 pounds, here is LEGION! Dan: Legion slowly pacing down the aisle. He does not look happy about Kyle Bane disbanding the Demonweb! Knick Man: Well he better get his act together real quick! Johnny Smith is one tough competitor! Dan: Legion climbing into the ring. And look at the eyes of Legion! He is furious! Knick Man: His master left him! Kyle Bane is the reason he lives! Andy: And his opponent, from Atlanta, Georgia, weighing 276 pounds, "The Golden Boy" JOHNNY SMITH! Dan: Here's Johnny! Another mixed reaction for Johnny Smith as "The Golden Boy" making his way to the ringside. He doesn't seem to care though! Knick Man: Big matchup for Smith. If he can beat Legion, the AICW would have to give this man another World Title shot! Dan: Smith climbing into the ring and Legion charges him and knees him in the gut coming in! Legion hammering away on Johnny Smith and now he sends him to the ropes and Smith catches him coming in with a side russian leg sweep! Legion is down, and Smith applying a facelock on Legion. Legion grabbing the ropes and Referee Paul Kaplan forcing him to release the manuever! Knick Man: Smith, doing the smart thing, taking advantage of Legion's emotion. Smith might not be all there mentally. But when it comes to ring expertise, few can match the ring intelligence of Johnny Smith! Dan: Smith releases the hold and now he picks Legion up. And a thumb to the eye by Legion! Smith stunned for a second and Legion grabs his arm and takes him down with an armdrag takedown variation submission! Smith struggling to get free and he does. Now both men are on their feet and Legion throws a punch towards Smith. But Smith blocks it and turns it into a standing wristlock! Legion in pain, but again he grabs the ropes! Knick Man: Good technical wrestlers always know how to get out of good technical manuevers. Legion is a good technical wrestler! Dan: Smith releases the hold and Legion with the cheap shot, kneeing Smith in the ribs! Legion ducks behind Smith and takes him down with a small package into a pin...........one...........two..........NO! Johnny Smith able to kick out of that one! Both men to their feet, Legion with a dropkick, but NO! Legion tried a standing dropkick, but Johnny Smith saw it coming, and he quickly moved out of the way! Knick Man: Legion making the first major mistake. Let's see if Johnny Smith can capitalize on that one! Dan: Smith picking him up in the air and nice side suplex by Johnny Smith. Smith with the cover...........one........two........... kickout by Legion! Smith back on his feet and Legion is recovering. Smith grabbing him by the head and BULLDOG to the mat! Smith with another cover...........one.........two.............kickout again by Legion! Knick Man: Very few men can say they have a victory of Legion. It's going to take a whole lot to take that man out! Dan: Smith back on his feet as is Legion. Smith setting him up for a second suplex, but Legion blocks it! Smith trys it again, but Legion blocks it again! Now Legion lifting up Smith and Legion with a suplex of his own! Legion jumping on top of Johnny Smith and now he's BITING HIM! This man is crazy! Knick Man: He's in the Demonweb....or a least was in the Demonweb when there was a Demonweb.....ah forget it! Dan: Referee Paul Kaplan pulling Legion off of Johnny Smith. He's warning him about the biting. Legion allowing Smith to get up and now he slaps on an armlock hammerlock submission. Smith tries to break free, but Legion has in on pretty tight! Paul looking for a submission but Johnny Smith refusing to give up! Knick Man: Both of these guys got wrestling manuvers coming out of their ears! Dan: Smith finally breaking free of that move and now he clocks Legion in the head with a roundhouse right. Smith trying to go for a chokeslam, but Legion once again with the poke to the eye! He really seems to like that move tonight Knick Man! Knick Man: And why not! The poke to the eye is one of the most scientfic manuevers in wrestling today! Dan: I don't know about that one! Legion with a single leg takedown and now he's working on the leg of Smith. This match started out as a brawl, but now it has become a very scientific matchup! Knick Man: These guys may be crazy, but they do know their wrestling Dan! Dan: Smith able to grab the ropes and now Legion is forced to let go. Legion with the elbowsmash to the back of Smith and Johnny Smith is down. Legion sets up again, and Legion with a second elbowsmash to Smith's back! Legion kicking Johnny Smith in the back, and now he's lifting his hand up in the air as the crowd boos him! Knick Man: Legion was one of the more popular guys in the AICW, until he joined The Demonweb. Kyle Bane has truly had an effect on this man! Dan: Legion climbing up to the second ropes. High risk move now by Legion! Legion leaps off the top and JOHNNY SMITH MOVES! And Legion goes crashing into the mat! Smith getting up and now he lifts Legion up and POWERBOMB to the mat by Johnny Smith! Knick Man: Johnny Smith, showing us his power side, lifting Legion up in the air and dropping him with authority! Dan: Smith with the cover...........one...........two...........NO! Legion kicking out again! Smith now picking Legion up off the mat. He sets him up and SWINGING NECKBREAKER BY SMITH! Smith with the cover again...........one...........two............... Dan: THREE! NO! Legion getting the shoulder up! Knick Man: Legion, a man that never says die! He's ruthless, and is a serious competitior. That is why he is the number 1 contender for the AICW International Title! Dan: Johnny Smith picking Legion up from the mat. Now he sends him to the ropes......leapfrog by Legion and both men come back annnnnnd DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE! Both men catching each other with a clothesline and now they are both down on the mat. Referee Paul Kaplan making the count and they are trying to get to their feet. Paul up to five and they still haven't made it! Paul getting up to eight and now both men are on their feet. Legion throws a punch at Smith and Smith retaliates with a punch of his own. Legion with another punch and Smith with another punch. They are punching away at each other and this match has become a good ol fashion slugfest! Knick Man: These two men don't like each other one bit! Dan: Legion grabbing Smith and now he sends him to the ropes. Smith comes back, and Legion with the back body drop and Smith goes sailing over the top ropes! Smith onto the arena floor and we all know that Legion loves to brawl! Legion in the ring waiting for Johnny to get up. Johnny Smith struggling to get to his feet. Johnny Smith almost up and here comes Legion! Legion LEAPING OVER THE TOP ROPES AND BOO-YA! He nails Johnny Smith with a flying body press! What a move by Legion! Knick Man: Boy if he would have missed that one, we would have had another Johnny Payne on our hands! Boy, what a high risk manuever! Dan: Referee Paul Kaplan beginning to count both men out as Legion getting to his feet. Legion trying to set Smith up for the piledriver, but Smith won't let him do it! Now they are brawling on the outside of the ring! Referee Paul Kaplan continuing to count! Knick Man: One of them better get back into the ring! Dan: Legion and Smith hammering away on each other and....... (DING DING DING) Andy Burton: The referee has ruled this match A DOUBLE COUNTOUT! Dan: Johnny Smith and Legion brawling to a double countout, but I don't think it matters to either of these men as they are still fighting on the outside! Johnny Smith taking Legion's head and BOO-YA! He slams his head into the steel gate! Officials trying to break it up, but Smith and Legion will have none of it! Knick Man: They want to fight? Let them! Dan: Ladies and Gentlemen, that all the time we hav.......WAIT A MINUTE! I understand that we have PPD in the parking lot! Let's see if we can get a camera back there! (The scene switches to the parking lot where all the members of The Enterprise are making their way out. The scene then shows Lance and Max jump from behind a wall and clothesline both the members of Enterpeneur's Incorporated! Lance and Max are show hammering away on them as security rushes towards the parking lot. Lance and Max are now seen brawling with Chris Del Rio, Ray Richards and Troy Walcott as the scene fades to black.)
