AICW MONDAY NIGHT WAR Monday, May 11, 1998 Palace of Auburn Hills, Detroit, Michigan (The Soviet National Anthem begins to blare over the arena sound system as Dima "The Russian Powerhouse" Lerminskiy makes his way down the aisle.) Dan: Welcome to Monday Night War! Dima Lerminskiy is making his way down the aisle, and what is doing?! He should be coming here to the broadcast position, but he's getting in the ring! (Dima snatches the microphone from Andy Burton and glares menacingly at the fans.) Dima: Stupid Americans! In this polluted, disgusting center of American capitalism, this "Detroit"...(fans jeer) Shut up, American dogs, and let Dima enlighten you! Dan: Dima not going over too well with our great fans here in the Motor City! Dima: In this filthy, miserable, worthless American hole you call Detroit, you are going to see one of your American icons getting completely destroyed! And who better to do the destroying, than the ideal of Soviet strength...the Russian icon...the man who combines the crushing force of the hammer with the sharp swiftness of the sickle! American scum, tonight the gun goes off! Tonight, this "American Patriot" will be playing...RUSSIAN ROULETTE! (Russian Roulette leaps through the crowd and over the barricade. He is clad in a red and yellow hammer-and-sickle T-shirt and black jeans. He climbs into the ring and salutes Dima.) Dima: Russian Roulette, tell these capitalist pigs about American Patriot! Russian Roulette (in a bellowing voice with a thick Russian accent): Comrade Dima, this "American Patriot" is yet another filthy sheep in this hovel called United States! Modern Americans are merely mindless lemmingks who follow a fat, promiscuous farmboy off the cliff of idiocy! Patriots are nothing more than color-blind fools who see only red, white, and blue, putting their faith in symbols and abstract virtues! And this man claims the title of "American Patriot" with pride, comrade! Well, Patriot, can you walk down the streets of Detroit and look at all the homeless street-dwellers with pride? Can you look back at your Civil War with pride? Can you hear the names of Hiroshima and Nagasaki without cringing? TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE, comrade!!! Are these the values which you uphold?! Dima: These filthy Americans have no shame! Russian Roulette: (sneering with contempt) American Patriot! BAH! Tonight, comrade, you will play the game--MY game--and the gun will go off (makes a shooting motion with his fingers) RIGHT IN YOUR FACE! Look out, comrade--for Big Brother is watching! And that is bottom line, because Russian Roulette say so! (The Soviet National Anthem kicks in again as Russian Roulette make their way back to the locker room.) Dima: So Dan. You see how great Russian Roulette is! Dan: We'll see tonight when he takes on the American Patriot! Right now fans, let's go up to ringside for the match between "Human Torture Rack" Ian Walsh, and Tom Corson! (DING DING DING) Andy Burton: The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first.... ["Aqualung" by Jethro Tull plays over the loudspeakers.] Andy: He claims to be the best wrestler to ever set foot in this sport. He is a man of pure intensity. He is ccompanied by Bishop, hailing from the Torture Chamber, standing 6 feet tall and weighing in at 240 pounds, here is .... "Human Torture Rack" IAN WALSH!!!! ["Human Torture Rack" Ian Walsh walks down the aisle. He is led by Bishop. Bishop is wearing black jeans that are loose fit on his legs, a tight, black t-shirt with no writing on it, black, combat boots, and he is wearing a long, black, leather trench coat. He is built. His face is clean shaven and his short, black hair is matted down. Bishop is carrying a Singapore cane. The cane rests on his shoulder as he walks a considerable distance in front of Ian Walsh. His face is one of stone. He looks at the nearby fans, but he pauses for nobody. "Human Torture Rack" Ian Walsh follows behind. He is wearing baggy, black sweat pants, and a red "Rutgers: Scarlet Knights" t-shirt. The t-shirt has a black knight's helmet and a white circle with the following written in black: "RUTGERSENSIS.IN NOVA.CAESAR(Part of it is covered by the black helemt on the shirt.).COLLEGII." Inside of that circle, a picture of the sun is shown with the following written around it: "SOL.IUSTITIAE.ET.OCCIDENTEM.ILLUSTRA". He also wears black wrestling boots that go up to about mid-shin.] Dan: Here he is!!! Ian Walsh making his AICW Television debut tonight! Dima: Ha! This man is pathetic! I can crush him with ease! [He is built, but not big. Ian is small in size, but he doesn't care. His face is one of stone and he pays no attention to the fans. He has a five-day scruff. His short, dirty blonde hair is matter down. His eyes show somewhat of a saddened look. The lights dim. The fans starts to jeer. They starts throwing things at Ian Walsh and Bishop. A mean look appears on Ian's face. He let's out a powerful yell and his veins pop up in his arms and in his neck. He looks around at the crowd with a mean look. He conitnues down the aisle way and you can fell the intensity coming from him. He slowly walks around ringside as Bishop enters the ring. He walks over to a wooden table and looks down at it. He gathers all of his strength and intensity and punches through the table.] Dan: Holy crap!!! Dima: I can do that with ease!! Dan: Well, he's coming over here! [Ian walks over to the announcer's chair and folds it up. He takes the chair and starts smashing against the ring post like a mad man. When he finishes, the chair it is totaly bent out of shape.] Dan: This guy is a psycho! Dima: I will tell him what you said! ["Human Torture Rack" Ian Walsh enters the ring. He walks around the ring and pulls against the ropes. He shrugs his shoulders and tries to losen up. He walks over to Bishop and tells him to slap him in the face a few times. Bishop does so and makes Ian totaly mad. Ian grabs the microphone from the announcer.] Dan: Ian Walsh has something to say! "Human Torture Rack" Ian Walsh: "You people have really pissed me off. Now... Tom Corson is going to feel my wrath. Tom Corson will feel my pain and know what it is like to face the czar of torture. It's time that I show all of you what a real wrestler can do. Tom Corson, prepare to meet your demise!" [Ian throws the microphone at Andy Burton and he struggles to catch it. Ian yells at Andy and he just stands there and nods. Ian picks him up by his sports coat and throws him against the corner. He then storms around inside of the ring. Ian Walsh's theme music fades] Dan: Tom Corson is in for a rough night! Dima: This Walsh will crush Tom Corson! Andy: (still a little shaken) And his opponent..... ("Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns-N-Roses begins to play throughout the arena) Andy: From New York City, weighing 220 pounds...TOM CORSON!!!!!! Dan: Here comes Tom Corson! And Corson doesn't look intimindated in the least bit by this madman, Ian Walsh! Dima: That is because Corson is a fool! (Tom comes down the entranceway wearing a black T-Shirt with the words 'Miss Erie Loves Company' in blood red letters on the front. Tom grabs two cushioned chairs from ringside and set them up on the entrance ramp so that they are next to each other and facing the ring.) Dan: Is Tom expecting company? Dima: Who knows what to expect from a FOOLISH AMERICAN! Dan: Tom climbing into the ring as Ian Walsh stares him down menacingly.... (DING DING DING) Dan: And Tom Corson off to the quick start as he goes right after the leg of Walsh!!!! Corson kicking the leg of Walsh repeately and Walsh goes down to one knee! Corson hammering away on Walsh but Walsh responds with a quick chop to the throat and Corson staggers back! Walsh to his feet, Corson going after the leg again and Walsh counters with a knee lift to the midsection. Corson bending over in pain as Walsh takes him down with a clothesline! Dima: This Ian Walsh must be RUSSIAN! Dan: Walsh pulling Corson to his feet and he just tosses him into the ring apron with authority! Corson hitting his back hard! Corson charging towards Walsh again and NICE HIP TOSS BY WALSH!!! Corson getting back to his feet, and he charges him again and Walsh catches him again with a hip toss!!! Corson still refusing to give up and he charges towards Walsh again! Walsh with a big boot to the chest and Corson bending down in pain! Walsh hooking him and he lifts him up for the suplex and BOO-YA!!!! Turns it into a neckbreaker!!!! And Ian Walsh in full control! He covers him.....one....two.....and Corson kicking out! Dima: If this Corson were wise, he would stay down for the count! This Ian Walsh will destroy him! Dan: Ian Walsh picking him up and he applies a standing front facelock! He likes to refer to this move as the Po-Tang Fiesch! Walsh applying the pressure to the face, but Tom refusing to surrender! Referee James Roma checking for the submission but Tom shaking his head no. Walsh releasing the hold but Corson is obviously hurt! Walsh spins him around...grabs him by the head and HE DDT'S HIM INTO HIS KNEE!!!!! Ian Walsh DDT'ing Tom Corson right into the knee and Tom Corson looks seriously hurt! Dima: Ha! This Corson's career might be over after this beating! Dan: Walsh with the cover......one.......two.......and he pulls him back up! Referee James Roma arguing with Ian, but I don't think he cares! Walsh bringing Corson back to his feet. He lifts him up and BAM!!!! CANNON-ARM SUPLEX BY WALSH!!!!! Walsh simply devastating tonight on his War debut!

An Inverted DDT to the knees and Corson in serious trouble! Walsh sitting ontop of Corson's back and he's pulling him back! The IANMISSION!!!!!! He could break this man's back like that!!! Corson trying to hold on but he quickly taps out! (DING DING DING) Andy Burton: The winner of this match, "Human Torture Rack" IAN WALSH!!!! Dan: My goodness!!!! Ian Walsh simply devestating tonight and he still has on that IANMISSION!!!! Tom Corson screaming out in pain!!!! Here comes Bishop with that singapore cane and he's beating Corson upside the head with it! Somebody stop this!!! Corson starting to bleed from the forehead as Walsh refusing to let go of that submission and Bishop continues to slap him upside of the head with that cain! Corson finally passing out and Walsh just slapping him upside the head repeatedly, adding insult to injury! Walsh finally getting off him, and now he grabs Corson and sends him flying through the ropes! This man is going to be a force to be reckoned with here in the AICW! Dima: He is almost as good as Russian Roulette! Dan: Fans, we'll be right back with more MONDAY NIGHT WAR!
