[The sun is setting in New Orleans and the jazz musicians set up along the road way to make the night come alive. 
But few people are gathering on Bourbon Street tonight….. where can they be?……. Shot fades to the outside of The UNO Lakefront Arena where people are standing in line to get in….. on the side of the arena are several posters of SWF wrestler. Many of the people are wearing merchandise promoting their favorite  wrestler. The doors open and the crowd slowly make their way to their seats. As the arena is settling down it  grows dark, the fans are popping  as laser lights begins to shoot throughout the arena. A familiar voice begins, "do not attempt to adjust your sets".... the jumbotrom explodes in a multitude of colors. Darth Vader appears on the screen]

Darth Vader: On April 29th at Madison Square Gardens, the SWF will pit friends and enemies against each other with the promise of gold. It will be the second greatest PPV in the history of the SWF. Order it now from your local cable television station.

[Darth Vader fades into a picture of Yoda]

Yoda: Pay Per View you will buy, much money we will make yeassssss.

[And now we return control to your regularly scheduled program already in progress. Camera focuses in on Brandon Hudson and Ernie Lee as they are taking their seats at the announcer’s table]

BH:  Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana!  Welcome to the UNO Lakefront Arena!  Welcome to SWF Slaughterhouse! 

[Fireworks are going off as the fans are up on their feet cheering.]

BH:  I’m Brandon Hudson and with me as always is “Evil” Ernie Lee.

EL:  The only man who can handle the task of being a referee in a World Title Match with Equalizer.

BH:  Maybe so.  Equalizer made the announcement just recently that he wants Ernie to ref that big title match coming up, but I have to question that decision.  Can anyone, including Equalizer, really trust Ernie Lee?

EL:  Not when there is money involved, Hudson.  

BH:  One would certainly have to believe that....

(The jumbotron suddenly explodes as a view of Pagan appears on screen with The Thugz following right behind. Looking like he just stepped out of a fashion magazine his hair is neatly pulled back and he is wearing a black Italian suit with a red silk shirt and black tie. He raises the mic as the crowd begins to boo.)

Pagan: People, people its just plain old!  You know that I'm gonna walk out here, and I know that you are gonna boo me, but there's just so much a man can take.

(The crowd continues to boo.)

Pagan:  I can smell it.  Each and everyone of you are just dying to see Pagan as your American Champion one more time!

(The crowd boos louder.  The crowd begins to chant "Pagan sucks".)

Pagan:  Okay, for real now... I hear your little chants, and I'm not amused.  You want to chant?  Here, I've got a chant for ya... it's called SHUT THE HELL UP!

(The fans are going into a frenzy.  Pagan pauses, looks out into the crowd, and clears his throat.)

Pagan:  Birthday Blast is just around the corner, and I thought to myself... I thought, "Self, what can we do to make this the biggest Pay-Per-View in the history of the SWF?"  And since Mr. Shhh, Sandman, and myself are all retired... I realized that I had to find a Plan B.  Ya know, we want it to at least be the second biggest event.

(The camera focuses briefly on a guy holding a sign that reads "SWF = Shhh Wrestling Federation.")

Pagan:  So I started thinking about what the hillbilli... er... I mean fans like the most.  Contrary to popular belief, it's not a guy who calls himself the Franchise or a 180 pound punk going for the World Title.  In fact, the people want to see blood and lots of it.  Blood and naked chicks.  Now, I'm still working on the naked chicks part, but we've got lots of blood!  

(A portion of the crowd begins to chant "Naked chicks!")

Pagan:  In fact, if things work out like we plan... we might even have a death or two at Birthday Blast!  Let's face it, you have seen it all... Last Man Standing, Hell In The Cell, barbed wire matches, exploding referee matches.   Yeah, it's all been done.  Now we could put a couple of guys out there and tell them to fight for the Toughman title and just kick each others asses until someone is either dead or dying... but why would you want that... when you could have THREE people fighting to the death!!!  That's right, you order this Pay-Per-View to see two men beating the hell out of each other, and we'll throw a third man in for just one penny!  So let's get down to business... Birthday Blast... Toughman Title Bout... The Zack Attack defends the belt against Moon Dog Gator and Gods Tears.  There will be no rules, and we are encouraging these three to do whatever they have to.  I promise you that once this match is over, this ridiculous little triangle of terror angle will be over.

(Pagan grins as the crowd cheers.)

Pagan:  And now, ladies and gentlemen... please show the proper amount of respect for your favorite SWF Owner and Acting President... MR. SHHH!!!

(The fans continue to boo, louder than ever, as "Money" by Pink Floyd begins to play over the speaker system.  Mr. Shhh steps through the curtains looking like he just got to the arena.  He is wearing a black Italian suit with a white silk shirt and a black tie.  Mr. Jones and Mr. Smith follow behind him. As the crowd continues to boo, Pagan glances over to Mr. Shhh.)

Pagan:  Yeah, I'd say that's probably the right amount of respect.

(Pagan hands the microphone over to Mr. Shhh.)

Mr. Shhh:  Okay, I'll make this short and sweet.  I'm here for one reason and one reason only, to address Equalizer.  I guess you could say there has been some controversy surrounding your stipulations for Birthday Blast.  Let's replay that clip for the audience

[Clip:
Whoever the champion is before Birthday Blast '99, will put the belt on the line against me at Birthday Blast, and I want the guest referee to be......"

Clip ends:]

Mr. Shhh: Now as Black Fathom IV pointed out there will not be a champion before the Birthday Blast, yet your wonder group of Canadian Lawyers couldn't figure that one out. However, being the fair man that I am [crowd begins to laugh] I figured you have worked very hard to out manipulate me so I am still going to allow your match. Which only means there will be one more match added at the end of the evening, you and the new SWF Heavyweight World Champion. This means that you will have the advantage because the World Champion will just have finished one grueling match and have to go into another one against you to defend his title. [crowd boos even louder].   Now I guess you are wondering what I am going to ask in return. 

[Mr. Shhh smirks and looks directly into the camera]

Mr. Shhh: Not a damn thing. 

BH: I can't believe it, Shhh is letting Equalizer off that easily?

EL: No Shhh is not that type of person, something is wrong here. What's he got up his sleeve?

Mr. Shhh: However I think it is only fair that you concede on one of your stipulations.

BH: OK I knew it, here it comes.....

Mr. Shhh: Now what seems fair? Oh yeah, how about signing over half your shares to me at 
the Birthday Blast. I'm not asking for all of them, just half. E you know that I could legally take the
shares after your match with a member of the family and not give you the title shot because of the way 
the contract was written. However, as I have stated before I am a reasonable man, and I will assume that 
you will be reasonable also.  So E if your listening to me you know where to find me with the appropriate 
response.

[Mr. Shhh turns to talk to Pagan  just a minute and raises the mic back up] 

Mr. Shhh: Along with the change in the Toughman Belt we will have a back to back World Champion 
match. The winner of the Belt at Birthday Blast will face the Equalizer in the final match of the evening.

[Crowd is going crazy. Camera fades back to Pagan]

Pagan:  There you have it ladies and gentlemen the makings of the second greatest PPV in the history
of the SWF. But that’s not all. I am here tonight to announce two more added attractions.  A TV Title Bout which will include  The Copycat VS. The Budman. 

[The decibel level of cheers is incredible]

Pagan: And if that is not enough I am here to announce a new SWF Champion Belt that we are going to add.

BH: New belt? What belt?

Pagan: Yes ladies and gentlemen…[Pagan pauses for effect]…… The new belt is…The SWF Cruiserweight Belt! Which will be awarded at the PPV in a special……. Cruiserweight Battle Royal!

BH:  There you have it, folks!  Three new matches have been added to Birthday Blast!  Zack Adams, Gods Tears, and Moon Dog Gator will meet one final time for the Toughman Title; The Copycat defends the Television Title against his friend Budman; and there will be a cruiserweight battle royal!  Plus, The Equalizer will still be getting his title shot.  This is turning out to be one of the most interesting events in SWF history.

EL:  Yeah, not to mention that we know that the tournament will continue to an end on April 29th.  I can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen there.

BH:  Well a little more of the puzzle will be solved tonight, Ernie.  The first round continues as Andre Phoenix, Fatal Fury, Tanner Boyle, and Frankie Swinger round out the first bracket.  Then later tonight, we will see both members of Ground Zero in tournament action as Kaneda steps into the ring against Mr. Roboto, and Black Jack’s path to the World Title is blocked by the Toughman Champ, Zack Adams.

EL:  And we’re gonna start it off with... what’s going on, Hudson?

[Tanner Boyle is seen walking towards the ring with the American Title on his shoulder.  The crowd is going crazy.]

EL:  Oh god!  Not Tanner!  How did I know this was gonna happen?

BH:  Let’s see what the American Champ has to say.

[Tanner Boyle enters the ring and takes a microphone.]

TB: It's great to be home.  This is definitly Tanner Country!  

[Crowd cheers]

TB: I wanted to come down and speak about my absence as of late 
along with a few other items.  Sometimes in life wrestling must take a 
back seat, yes it is my career but family always comes first.  I'm not 
going to go into specifics but factors made me take off.  Tonight I 
have a Tournement match against "The Original" I have heard what he 
has said about me not respecting him and not having any bal...guts.  
I'm not one to gloat but I remember beating you every time I had to 
face you.  Now onto this New Intercontential Championship, this 
belt (Tanner points to the American belt) proved that I was one of the 
elite wrestlers in this federation.  I now have a even bigger goal to 
go after and we all know that I have accomplished every goal I have 
gone after.  I've been the TV Champ, I'm now the American Champ, and 
if the lord is willing I will be the first Intercontinental Champ.  I 
know it's a big goal to accomplish yet I'm diffinently up to the 
challenge.  To wrap up I would just like to say that I have been away 
for a few weeks so I will need all of your cheering and support to win 
my match with Frankie.  So are ya'll with me?

[The crowd cheers]
  
Let's make this place...(the crowd screams X-Plode!)

[Tanner Boyle drops the microphone, waves to the crowd, and leaves the ring area.]

EL:  Give me a break!  

BH:  It’s good to hear from the American Champ.  It’s true that there have been some personal problems arise with him as of late, but I think he is back and ready to take the SWF by storm all over again.

EL:  Where was I before that moron interrupted?

BH:  You were telling us about tonight’s tournament matches.  The first of the evening to be precise.

EL:  Oh, ok.  Gotcha. We’re gonna start it off with the guy who is the exact opposite of rookie sensation, Andre Phoenix, facing off against one of my all time personal favorites, Fatal Fury.

BH:  This should be a great physical contest.  Let’s go to Rick Ascott to kick this thing off.

RA:  Ladies and gentlemen, tonight’s opening contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a first round match in the World Title Tournament.  

[The arena lights begin to dim as "Da Last Don" by Master P begins to blare over the sound system. ]

RA:  Introducing first... From Atlanta, GA... Weighing in at 290 pounds...

ANDRE PHOENIX!!!

[The crowd begins to buzz as 6'8 Andre steps up onto the platform. Wearing black trunks with a crimson Phoenix on the back and black double knee pads and black elbow pads with his initials written in crimson.]

BH:  Make no mistake about it, Andre Phoenix is a physically intimidating individual who really has a lot of potential in this sport.  I think it may just take a while for him to reach that potential.

EL:  I think the best career move Phoenix could make would be to make the most of his contract and join the Third World Order.  I’m sure they would accept him.

[As Andre reaches the ring his music is replaced with "...And Justice For All" by Metallica.]

RA:  His opponent... Hailing from Los Angeles, California... Weighing in at 294 pounds...

FATAL FURY!!!

[Fatal Fury emerges from the entrance to the sound of loud popping as fireworks light up the arena. He makes his way down to the ring as the crowd gives him a very mixed reaction.]

EL:  That man walking down the aisle right now is one of the all time greats here in the SWF.  Former American Champ, former Tag Champ, and by Birthday Blast we could be calling him World Champion.

BH:  Fury has really regained some of that fire that made him such a big star because of his recent feud with Mad Hatter.  Can you believe that man actually called Fury a has been?

EL:  Maybe his plan was to get Fury re-motivated all along.

BH:  This is truly surprising.  I did not expect Andre Phoenix to look this impressive.  Perhaps his career is ready to turn around.  Fisherman’s suplex... one... two... not quite a three.

BH:  Very insightful.  This has been a tremendous match so far.  The action is back and forth so much that absolutely anyone could take the win.

[Fatal Fury rolls out of the ring and heads for the back as “... And Justice For All” by Metallica begins to play over the speaker system.]

EL:  What did I tell you, Hudson?  Fury takes Dre out, hopefully for good, and he continues on the road to Birthday Blast.

BH: Up next... American Champion, Tanner Boyle goes one-on-one with Frankie Swinger in a non-title Tournament match.  But before we go there, Thomas Gardiner is standing by backstage with The Judge.  What do you have for us, Thomas?

EL:  I thought Shhh fired his ass already.

[Scene shifts to backstage where Thomas Gardiner is standing next to The Judge.]

TG:  Thanks, Brandon.  I have The Judge here, and if you want to talk about guys who have really made a huge impact since the reopening of the SWF... you certainly cannot forget this man.  Judge, you are in the second round of the tournament where you will face Black Fathom IV... you have been on a tremendous win streak since returning... and now all of the sudden, just when things are going so well, your name is being placed in the same sentence as Mr. Meteorite #666.  Everyone really wants to know, are you Mr. Meteorite?

[The Judge gives Thomas Gardiner a look of disgust.]

TG:  Well, maybe that wasn’t exactly the question that you wanted to hear.  Any answer would be greatly appreciated though.

[The Judge just shakes his head.]

TG:  Okay... uhm... well may I ask what you are doing here tonight?

[The Judge just walks off, leaving Thomas standing alone.]

TG:  It doesn’t look like I’m getting anything here, so I’m sending it back to you guys at ringside.

[Scene shifts back to ringside.]

BH:  Thank you very much, Thomas.  If you find out anything, be sure to let us know.

EL:  That guy is a real moron.  Everytime he tries to interview someone, they walk off and refuse to give him any answers.  He couldn’t conduct an interview with himself.

BH:  Up next we have a very interesting match.  Tanner Boyle meets Frankie Swinger for a spot in the second round of the World Title Tournament.  Frankie has been very vocal about being the man who gets a shot at the I-C title at Birthday Blast, but Tanner has yet to respond to him.  

EL:  It’s obviously out of fear, Hudson.  Frankie Swinger is a very talented young grappler, and I promise that Tanner knows that “The Original” could be the guy to end that lame excuse for a title reign.

BH:  We are in Tanner’s hometown tonight, Ernie.  I consider that a great advantage.

EL:  Boyle really taints this city’s great name.  So many amazing athletes have come out of New Orleans.  Look at the list... The Thugz and Pagan... and then Tanner Boyle.  One of those just doesn’t fit.  Boyle is a total disgrace.

RA:  This contest is a non-title-match scheduled for one fall, and is a first round match in the World Title Tournament...

["Go Daddy-O" by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy blares over the arena speaker system.  The crowd begins to boo loudly.]

RA:  Introducing first... Led to the ring by Mack The Knife... Weighing in at 227 pounds...

FRANKIE SWINGER!!!

[Three showgirls appear and the woof whistles begin to be heard. The girls do a small dance routine and then line up down the aisle. Then Frankie and his manager appear on the platform as fire shoots up from the ring post. Frankie
and Mack the Knife are wearing pin stripe zoot suits and a fedora. The video wall is a blazed with clips of the Rat Pack. The three girls grab Frankie's arm as he passes by them and they all struts down to ring side together. Stepping into the ring Frankie removes his fedora and coat.  His music fades and is replaced by "The Ruff Riders" by DMX.  The crowd bursts into deafening cheers.]

RA:  His opponent... Fighting out of New Orleans, Louisiana... Weighing in at 285 pounds...

The SWF American Champion...
TANNER BOYLE!!!

[The crowd settles down after a few moments as Tanner Boyle is nowhere to be seen.]

EL:  It doesn’t look like he’s coming out.  Thank god!  I knew saying all of those prayers, eating all of those vitamins, and believing in myself would pay off someday.

[Suddenly, the crowd errupts into cheers as the camera catches a shot of Tanner Boyle heading towards the ring through the crowd.]

BH:  Here comes the American Champion, and the crowd is going nuts!

EL:  These fans are a bunch of morons!  They’re just cheering because they heard the name of their city.

BH:  Give it a rest, Ernie.  You will eventually have to give this young man the credit that he deserves!

EL:  Maybe he doesn’t, but it’s some of the best news I’ve heard in a long time.  What do you think Pagan meant by keeping a close eye on the match?

BH:  I think we all know exactly what he meant by that.  Pagan is obviously trying to find someway to get that title off of Tanner Boyle, but I can’t figure out why he would want to do that.

EL:  Frankie and Pagan sure looked like buddies in there.  Do you think Frankie is joining The Family.

SP: Make it clean Shade.

NS: I will. I just want to note that with the business Swinger is in and the business Shhh is in….. well I just don’t think it is a match made in heaven.

SP [look of surprise]: You mean you actually don’t think it will happen?

NS: No…they are two much alike…… they enjoy the good-life. And I think the subject of money will break them apart.

SP: Shade that’s an excellent observation……

[Simon pauses as if in deep thought and looks directly at Night Shade Lane]

SP: Look fellow I don’t know who you are, or what pod you have crawled out of, but I want my partner back.

NS: Shut up Phoenix and let’s talk about the upcoming matches.

 SP: The Commissioner has split up a perfectly good tag team. Which if they both win here tonight will  mean at some point down the road they may have to wrestle each other. 

NS: That is one match I would like to see. Kaneda is a master of submission holds. While Black Jack is a power house. 

SP: But they have to get through these next few minutes before they can possible consider it.

NS: Our third match of the evening is against Providences in Japan. We will call this Osaka
Meets Tokyo.
