[Fade up]
[“Flying High Again” by Ozzy Ozbourne hits as “Superstar” Michael Stevenson appears in the aisle.]
WALSH- Making his way to the ring, hailing from Tallahassee, Florida weighing in at 276 pounds, “Superstar” Michael Stevenson!!!
[Stevenson gets a mild pop as he walks down to the ring and slides in. He hops up onto the turnbuckle and poses for the crowd.]
PAGE- Well, here’s the newcomer Michael Stevenson. He’s looking to make an impact here in the CSWA by winning the T.V. Title tournament. Stevenson looks ready for action!
MCCOY- Bah, he doesn’t look so tough to me!
PAGE- Well, you aren’t exactly a battle hard warrior yourself, Sanders. Uh oh, here comes his opponent!
MCCOY- Oh no….
[“Stand Alone” hits and the crowd jumps to their feet. Cledus T. Yokel’s massive frame appears on the entrance ramp. He walks down to the ring, clapping along with the crowd to the beat. He climbs in the ring and poses to a standing ovation from the crowd.]
PAGE- Yokel is coming off of a HUGE win over Jonny Five at MSWA Slam Jam last week and is hoping to keep that momentum rolling here at Wildfire!
MCCOY- What a joke, he’s just a hillbilly!
[The bell rings and Stevenson offers a handshake. Yokel cautiously accepts. When Stevenson doesn’t attack with a cheap shot, a big 4 toothed grin appears on Yokel’s face. They both step back. Stevenson starts things by rushing in on Yokel, but he counters with an arm drag. Stevenson hops up and goes for a dropkick on Yokel, but he side steps it and begins stomping away on Stevenson.]
PAGE- It seems that Yokel has the upper hand here!
MCCOY- Yeah, some Superstar…
Yokel picks up Stevenson and sends him to the rope. He goes for a ferocious clothesline, but Stevenson ducks it. He bounces off the ropes and levels Yokel with a clothesline of his own! The crowd gives a quick response to the change in momentum. Yokel climbs shakily to his feet and is met with a spinning heel kick to the face. He begins to climb to the top rope, but Yokel climbs quickly to his feet and charges over. Before Stevenson can do anything, Yokel throws him off the turnbuckle all the way to the outside!}
MCCOY- Holy hell! Stevenson just flew off the top rope and collided with that barricade hard!
PAGE- That was a stupid move, Yokel saw it coming by a mile.
[Yokel climbs outside and rolls Stevenson back into the ring, not wasting any time. He slides in and picks up Stevenson and sets him on his shoulders. Then, he slams him to the mat with a vicious powerbomb! He flops down and goes for the pin.]
ONE
TWO
THR…
PAGE- No! What the hell!!?? It’s Jonny Five! Five just came out of the crowd and pulled the referee out of the ring!
MCCOY- All right! Now here’s some action!
[Five slides into the ring with a lead pipe in hand and clocks Yokel over the head with it! Yokel drops like a sack of bricks. Five runs out of the ring and back down the entrance ramp. Stevenson is slowly beginning to stir. He sits up, looks over at the unconscious Yokel, and scratches his head.]
MCCOY- I don’t think he even knows what just happened…
[He stands up shakily and stumbles over to Yokel, still badly hurt from his fall. He prods at him with his foot, shrugs, and…. locks him in the Superstar Stunt Rider!!! The referee slides back into the ring, sees that Yokel is unconscious, and calls for the bell.]
PAGE- And this one is over, folks. Thanks to Jonny Five, Stevenson advances in the tournament to round 2!!! I don’t believe it, Yokel had it won!
[Stevenson stands up, poses for the crowd, wonders why they aren’t cheering (but aren’t really booing him either) and staggers off.]
