[The fans begin to cheer loudly as the camera's zoom in and out on them. The commercials are over and Wildfire is back on the air. Signs and T-shirts are hoisted into the air as the fans scream and cheer with wild abandon. The camera's move back in front of the announcers table where Russell McCoy and Eddie Page wait. McCoy looks more annoyed then anything as Page is having trouble sitting.]
[PAGE]: Welcome back to Wildfire and it is just getting started as you can already here the music of our next competitor beginning.
[McCoy]: Shepard to all these sheeps.
[The lights of the arena go out suddenly. Complete darkness fills the whole are as the P.A. screams to life as well as the giant screen. Dark, black and white video fills the screen with the Authority logo and words flashing with water marks and scratches. The crowd explodes as lights start swirling around the arena and the music comes to life.
[MCCOY] Once again walking that Path of Redemption for Marshall...why doesn't he just forfeit.
[PAGE]: Adam-X is a true competitor and everything this business stands for.
[MCCOY] And even then, the fan whore will hog the spotlight and cheat throughout each match.
[Two fireworks shoot from the lighting rig above the ring and down to the stage, criss crossing to form a giant silver X in the air. They hit the stage causing two giant explosions happen on the stage. The lights in the arena come back on fully as a figure walks out of the opening. The crowd is on their feet and deafening the arena as the two men in the ring stare at the stage in disbelief.
[DIAMOND LOU] Coming to the ring, weighing in at 244lbs. and standing at 6'1", he hails from Seattle, WA. He is the 'X-PERIENCE OF A LIFETIME!" ADAAAAAMMM-XXXXXXXX!!!!!!!
[PAGE]: And ADAM-X IS HERE!
[MCCOY]: Why do the fans throw themselves at this fake? Will someone tell me why he is so great?
[PAGE]: Because he is the history of Tag team wreslting. Does X-Factor mean anything to you?
[MCCOY]: Over rated is what it means.
[With his neck length blond hair hanging freely, Adam-X stares at the arena with his trademark mischevious smile across his face. Black tights fit him with silver flames going up the sides. Near the top, there is a circled X on the top of the thigh. His boots are black and have the same logo on them. His wrists and fists are tapped up with a black brace on his right elbow. He is in top shape his muscular upper body is bare. He stands on the stage and soaks in the cheers. He soaks and absorbs every scream and cheer for him. He looks around and throws his arms over his head to form and X. The crowd screams even louder as he does this.]
[Adam stands there enjoying every second of the crowds cheers. He makes his way down the ramp and into the ring. The fans scream and chant his name as he goes from turn buckle to turn buckle, crossing his arms into an X. The fans scream louder as Adam-X gets them even more rilled up. Adam settles back into his corner and waits for the his opponents.]
[PAGE] This is just not right the way that Marshall is treating Adam-X. First it was a mystery opponent match with Jack Cross. Then last week, Marshall put him in an handicap match and screwed him out of a victory. Now he has to compete in the tag tournament with no partner and against fan favorites, Yokel and Vinny D.
[MCCOY] Look at all he has done to Marshall. He deserves this for all the trouble he causes. But as for this match, He is going to need all the tricks he has to pull it out against this unlikely teen.
[The lights flicker for a moment and then the arena goes dark, and then the sound of an acoustic guitar strumming starts up. Many people begin to whisper amongst themselves that anyone would come out to country music, and then Hank Williams Jr. begins to sing "Country Boys Can Survive".]
[DIAMOND LOU]: COMING TO THE RING...VINNY D AND CLEDUS YOKEL...THE REDNECK MAAAFFFIIIAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[On the large video screen the words Cledus T. Yokel appear in the middle and then the lights slowly come back on. Underneath the screen is the form of the giant redneck known as Cledus T. Yokel. He is dressed in a white wife-beater t-shirt that is covered in mustard and blood stains. He is wearing a pair of ragged blue jeans full of holes and attached to his belt buckle is none other than his most prized possession. The hubcap from a 1982 El Camino. A loud, positive reaction sounds as he walks out, looking to the crowd.]
[Cledus gets some reaction from the crowd as he raises his hands to the crowd, and then they begin to cheer a little more as Cledus pet pig Zeke comes trotting out from the back to stand in front of Cledus. Vinny D comes out from the back to pat Cledus on the shoulder and Cledus leans down to hear some words of advice from Vinny before the three start down to the ring.]
[As they walk slowly down to the ring, Cledus and Vinny slaps hands with a few people and Zeke ambles back and forth across the alleyway letting people pat him if they want too.]
[As the three come to the ring apron, Cledus and Vinny climb up the steps onto the ring apron, smacking on the ropes as they walk around the apron. They stopping every so often to test the strength of the ropes.]
[As the three come around ring again, Cledus crouches down and wraps his arms around Zeke to give him a hug. Zeke returns the affection by licking Cledus a few times on his face before he wiggles out of Cledus� grasp. Using the ropes, Cledus pulls himself to his feet and turns to enter the cage.]
[Cledus slowly climbs between the second and third rope. Vinny D steps over the top rope and looks across the ring. Once inside he reaches down and unhooks the hubcap off his belt and turning around he tosses it outside before he bends down and begins to check his boots and make sure they are tied up tightly. Vinny D leans down and begins to talk strategy with Cledus as Stevens gets ready to ring the bell.]
[Adam-X, not waiting for the bell has run full blast across the ring and spears both men. Stevens rings the bell as things are under way. Adam-X steps back and waits for Vinny D to stumble out of the corner first. Adam-X hits a hiptoss on Vinny D, causing the big man to land on his back. Adam-X immediatly turns and jumps hitting an Asai Leg Lariat on Yokel as he stumbles. He lands hard back into the corner. Adam-X jumps up as Vinny D is getting to his feet. He grabs the big man by the hair and runs him across the ring bouncing his head of the turnbuckle on the opposite end of the ring. Stevens has stepped over and making Yokel step out of the ring and onto the apron. Adam-X begins to lay a series of punches and kicks into Vinny D.]
[PAGE]: MY GOD! SPEAR BY ADAM! SPEAR! He is not waiting for the bell as he is ready to get this one over with.
[MCCOY]: A pure cheating tactic. Marshall should just fire him and cut his losses. How dare he! I am not big fans of Yokel and Vinny but they need to put him out of here.
[PAGE]: And that is, once again, Your opinion!
[MCCOY]: You have to hate him but you have to understand that he is doing the best thing right here. He is dividing the ring and taking it by the horns. I just hope that Stevens is watching for his cheating.
[PAGE]: This is where the years of experience and tag wrestling is paying off for Adam-X. He knows how to handle a tag match.
[MCCOY]: That is all well and good but what happens when he can't make a tag. Adam-X is his own partner thanks to the brillance of Robert Marshall!
[Adam-X grabs Vinny and locks him up, turning and flipping him in the air with a T-Bone Suplex. Adam-X gets up and runs hitting Yokel with a hard elbow knocking him off the ring.]
[MCCOY]: There is the cheating. He just took Cledus off the ring and he wasn't doing anything.
[PAGE]: He is just trying to keep the playing field level out there tonight.
[MCCOY]: Looks like the playing field is leveled now.
[Adam-X turns around only to be grabbed up by a standing Vinny D. Vinny D wraps him up and nails a beautiful Belly to belly Suplex on Adam-X. Vinny D doesn't give him a chance to recover as he runs over grabbing the 'X-Pierence of a Lifetime" up and nailing him with hard right hands that send the superstar stumbling. Adam-X blocks a punch and gives a kick to the midsection. Adam-X grab Vinny D and Irish whips him into the ropes, but a reversal by Vinny D sends Adam-X into the ropes. Adam-X bounces against the ropes and flies back to Vinny. Vinny catches him and spins in the air, hitting a hard Powerslam on the superstar. Adam-X arches against the mat from the velocity of the hit.]
[MCCOY]: So much for the mounting offensive attack by Adam-X. This is beautiful as he really suffered from that move.
[PAGE]: Vinny is wasting no time either as he quickly tags in Cledus.
[Vinny hauls Adam to his feet and forciflly Irish Whips him into the ropes. Vinny then ducks down for a back body drop but the Experience easily leaps over Vinny's back avoiding the move. Adam though isn't expecting to see Cledus behind Vinny and can do nothing as a Cledus raises his right leg and nails Adam in the face with a big boot.]
[PAGE]: OH LORD!! That kick nearly took Adam's head off.
[MCCOY]: Adam's alleged mind must be addled right now.
[Cledus then drops on top of Adam and waits for Stevens to start the pin count]
One..............
Two....................
[At two and a half Adam kicks out stopping Stevens from conintuing the pin count. Cledus easily hauls Adam to his feet and sends him packing towards the ropes with another Irish Whip. This time though Adam is prepared for the move and stops his momentum by grabbing onto the top rope. Cledus charges forward like an enraged bull his arm raised for a clothesline. At the last moment Adam ducks under Cledus, rams his shoulder into the Loveable Redneck's stomach and lifts him up and over the top rope to crash to the floor below.]
[PAGE]: AND OVER THE TOP ROPE CLEDUS GOES!!
[MCCOY]: That damn moron telegraphed that move so bad that even you saw it coming Eddie.
One.............
[Adam spins around and watches as Cledus rolls towards the security railing in an attempt to catch his breath. Vinny D seeing Adam distracted for a moment slides into the ring and rushes towards Adam]
Two...............
[Adam catches Vinny rushing at him out of the corner of his eye, quickly spins around and sends a kick into the mid section of Vinny. With Vinny bent over Adam grabs his arms and places Vinny's head in between his legs. A moment later Vinny is lying stunned on the mat the victim of a Underhook Face Driver.]
Three
[PAGE]: OHHHHHHH! Adam-X is on fire.
{MCCOY]: Bah. A strong wind can blow out that fire.
Four
Five...........
Six...........
[Yokel slowly gets to his feet in time to see Vinny gets slammed into the mat. He then slides into the ring and take the legs out form under Adam with a modified spear. As Adam drops to the mat Yokel follows the move up by sending an elbow to the side of Adam's head. Yokel being the legal man in hauls Adam to his feet and throws him into the nearest turnbuckle with such force that the whole ring shakes. ]
[PAGE]: AVALANCHE!!! YOKEL JUST CRUSHED ADAM WITH AN AVALANCHE!!
[MCCOY]: OOH! I thought I heard that cheater's ribs crack from here.
[Yokel takes a step back and allows Adam to move forward before scooping him up and sending the Experience hard to the mat with a Power Slam. Yokel then drops a leg across Adam's throat and goes for the pin.]
One.............
[PAGE]: Yokel is all over Adam like a free buffet. [Page gets stunned look on his face] Did I just say that.
Two.............
[MCCOY]: [laughing] I'm rubbing off on you Eddie.
[PAGE]:God Forib.......KICK OUT BY ADAM JUST BEFORE STEVENS SLAPS THE MAT FOR A THIRD TIME!!!!
[Adam-X quickly rolls out of the pin attempt and rises to his feet, Cledus one step behind him. Instead of continuing with the assualt Cledus back pedals and tags out to Vinny. Vinny rushes into the ring only to be taken out by an Adam-X drop toe hold. Vinny bounces to his feet and just as quick gets sent back down to the mat with an arm drag.]
[PAGE]: Adam-X really show his veteran experience by keeping Vinny on the mat.
[MCCOY]: And that is supposed to impress me.
[Adam hauls Vinny to his feet and sets him up for what looks like a Backbreaker but at the last minute he drops Vinny's head down towards the mat and executes a Brainbuster. Adam then hooks Vinny's leg and waits for the pin count]
ONE.........
[PAGE]: WHAT A MOVE BY ADAM-X!! THAT BRAINBUSTER RATTLED THE WHOLE BUILDING!!
TWO................
[At two and 7/8ths Cledus drop a knee on top of Adam's shoulder to break the pin attempt. Without hesitating Cledus then grabs Adam by the hair, wraps his meaty arm around Adam's neck and sends him hard to the mat with an Inverted Neckbreaker. The Redneck Mafia then pick Adam-X up and double Irish Whip him into the ropes. As Adam comes off the ropes Cledus and Vinny rush forward and double clothesline him. Adam does a complete somersault and lands face down on the mat where he remains unmoving. As Yokel gets forced back out of the ring Vinny flips Adam over but instead of getting a laid out Adam, Vinny recieves a closed fist to the side of his head.]
[PAGE]: POSSUM! ADAM WAS PLAYING POSSUM!!
{MCCOY]: Only a cheater would do something like that. Once again Adam shows his true colors.
[Adam follows the punch up by sending an elbow into Vinny's head which backs the bigger man up. Adam then jumps to his feet and connects with a standing drop kick that sends Vinny into the ropes. Vinny comes off the ropes in an attempt to tag out to Cledus but Adam cuts the attempt off by leaping into the air and driving Vinny's head into the mat with a Bulldog. Without hesitating Adam is back on his feet and takes out Cledus with a forearm to the face before jumping up onto the top turnbuckle..........]
{PAGE}:MOONSAULT!! MOONSAULT! ADAM-X JUST NAILED VINNY WITH A MOONSAULLT
[MCCOY]: I'm sorry Eddie I missed that. Care to repeat yourself.
[Adam-X flips Vinny over and cinches in the X-Caliber. Vinny arches his back in pain and attempts to reach the ropes. Adam pull back on Vinny and moves towards the center of the ring effectively blocking Vinny from breaking the hold. Just as Cledus starts to climb into the ring to break the submission hold Vinny starts pounding the mat signalling to Stevens that he wants no more of the Boston Crab.]
[DING DING DING]
[PAGE]: ADAM HAS DONE IT! Once again he has overcome the odds and pulled through.
[MCCOY]: Dammit. That's all we need to here is more Adam-X is too good for this sport chants.
[Just as Diamond Lou starts to bring the mic up to his mouth to announce the winner he is interrupted by the appearence of Robert Marshall at the top of the ramp. Marshall points a finger at Adam-X and brings a mic up to his mouth. As he speaks he starts to walk down to the ring]
[MCCOY]The boss wishes to congratulate Adam himself.
[MARSHALL]: Very good job Adam. It does my heart good to see that you managed to overcome another obstacle in on your Road To Redemption because it means we get to continue this game we have both so come to enjoy.
[Marshall slowly marches up the ring steps and climbs into the ring to face Adam-X. The Experience meets Marshall half way and the two men start a hard staredown. Marshall grins at Adam and brings the mic back up to his mouth.]
[MARSHALL]: So Adam, what do we do next. Ladder match?? First Blood match? [grinning] I know a first blood ladder match against the rest of your Authority team mates.
[Before Marshall can continue Adam rips the mic out of his mouth and starts talking]
[ADAM-X]: Marshall I have taken everything you have damn well thrown at me and shoved it back down your throat. What makes you think i won't do the same thing the next time around.
[With a smug look on his face Marshall plucks the mic out of Adam's hand and says.........]
[MARSHALL]: Because of this................
[Robert Marshall, Adam-X and the sold out crowd in the Civic Center all look towards the entrance area as the ominous ringing of a funeral bell tolls. Smoke from fog machines underneath both sides of the entrance platform begins shooting up towards the entrance as the crushingly heavy, yet melodic guitars of Black Label Society�s �Life / Birth / Blood / Doom� begins to shake the arena.]
[The CSWAtron lights up with the image of smoke and fire coming up from the bottom of the screen as in the center slowly the image of an aura of green and blue light surrounding the shadow of a man as he walks through the fire appears on the screen.]
[MCCOY]: I wonder who it is? I can�t wait to see.
[PAGE]: Whoever he is he�s making quite an entrance.
[The flames engulf the shadow figure on the CSWAtron as he lifts up his arms almost soaking in the blessed inferno. At the same time on the stage, which is now engulfed in fog the figure of a man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt can be seen, silhouette only as his face is hidden in the shadows.]
[PAGE]: That�s the man in the shadows behind Marshall last week�. But who is he?!?!?
[As the music dies down, the man on the stage covered in fog lifts up his hand towards his hood as he steps farther out of the fog and up front on the entrance platform. Standing there wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with flames coming up the sleeves, a pair of fades blue jeans and black steel toed boots, the man slowly pulls back the hood.
The collective jaws of everyone watching on television and inside the Bismark Civic Center drop.
Despite the new look with medium length spiked up brown hair and a chin goatee, the eyes reveal no lies. As everyone un-mistakenly knows who his man is. ]
[PAGE]: [With a shocked whisper, as if the world was about to end.] Oh my�. He�s back.
[MCCOY]: [With the voice of a pre-pubescent teen girl at an N�sync concert.] YES�. He�s BACK�. THE MAN IS BACK�.
[PAGE]: The Hardcore Madman�. The Revolution�. He�s here�. Oh good god� Shawn Andrews is back!
[RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
[With a cold, focused and intense look on his eyes. �The Revolution� Shawn Andrews begind his march down the aisle towards the ring.]
[PAGE]: Shawn Andrews has not been seen in over a year and a half since he left the National Wrestling Councils Tri State Region�. Now he�s back� here in CSWA.
[MCCOY]: This is great�.
[Shawn reaches the ring and walks around it, with an intense stare at everyone inside as he makes his way towards the steel steps. He stops and spits a wad of phlegm onto the concrete below, and then enters the ring from between the top and middle rope. CSWA owner Robert Marshall has a smile a mile wide across his face. Adam-X stands there cautious and prepared for anything.]
[MCCOY]: This is great�. Adam-X is finally gonna get what he has coming to him�. I love it.
[Shawn steps forward and looks straight through Adam-X with an intense stare, looks back towards Robert Marshall who is smiling like a pig in shit. Shawn looks back at Adam-X takes a step forawd and then �. The world stops.]
[PAGE]: What the�.
[Shawn turns around with a swift boot to the midsection of the Central States owner reaches forawd wrapping his arm around his head as he brings him down for his patented Inverted Facelock DDT, better known as the Far Beyond Driven.]
[MCCOY]: NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
[PAGE]: FBD FBD!!!! �. SHAWN ANDREWS JUST GAVE ROBERT MARSHALL THE FBD!!!!
[RAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH]
[PAGE]: THIS IS UNBELEVABLE!!! THE CROWD IS CHEERING SHAWN ANDREWS!!!! THEY ARE LOVING IT HERE IN BISMARK.
[MCCOY]: Why! Why Shawn why� I can�t believe this is happening�. Not Shawn Andrews.
[PAGE]: Believe it Russ� and the crowd is behind the Revolution like never before!
[Shawn picks up the microphone, then plops down on the mat next to the head of the fallen CSWA owner, as Adam-X stands watching in the opposite corner. Shawn puts the stick towards his mouth and behind to speak, loud and direct at Marshall.]
[ANDREWS]: Let�s get one thing straight right now� I don�t know what the hell you were thinking when you hired me� but just because you got my name on the dotted line don�t mean that you�re gonna tell Shawn Andrews what to do.
[RAAAHHHHHH]
[MCCOY]: Why Shawn� why?????
[ANDREWS]: Shawn Andrews ain�t nobodies yes man --- and sure as a hell ain�t no stooge that� you think you can order around� I don�t think you knew what you were getting when you brought me in here so let that be a lesson to you.
[MCCOY]: You can�t do that to the boss� I can�t believe this.
[RAAAHHHHHH }
[PAGE]: Believe it Russell�. That�s the Hardcore Madman�. The Revolution Shawn Andrews and he does what ever the hell he darn pleases� and right now it just so happens to be pleasing the fans too.
[Shawn gets up and turns to face Adam-X, who despite Shawn�s actions just now is still assuming a defensive stance.]
[SHAWN]: You know when you�ve been away from the ring for as long as I have now you really miss it�. You miss lacing up the boots�. You miss that adrenaline that rushes through your body just before they announce your name on the speakers�. You miss the reaction from them.
[Shawn, points to the fans.]
[RAAAHHHHHH]
[MCCOY]: I think I�m gonna be sick� in all my days covering this sport�. Never in a million years would I think that Shawn Andrews would be reduced to this�. Playing up to the fans.
[PAGE]: It�s not playing Russell� its just Shawn Andrews being Shawn Andrews.
[Shawn walks over and spits a wad of phlegm onto the ground outside the ring.]
[SHAWN]: You miss traveling from town to town�. You miss the being around the guys.
[Adam-X slowly eases up on his defensive stance, as Shawn continues, just three feet away from the Authority member.]
[SHAWN]: You know we�ve had� me and you�. Our fair share of run ins in the past�. You�ve helped Danny Vicious become the luckiest sonofabitch in the history of the business. Me Luke and Troy helped you learn what it feels like to be a part of a good old fashioned Texas hanging.
[PAGE]: That was one of the most notorious locker room attacks in the history of the NAWA� of wrestling.
[MCCOY]: The good old day�s� why Shawn why?
[SHAWN]: Then that all changed�. When we ended up getting stuck in that god-forsaken hellhole of a backwater promotion the NWC�. The whole world got flipped upside down Ripper�. Nighthawk�. Shawn Andrews and Adam-X�. on the same page.
[PAGE]: That was something else�. Them four were the only bright spots in that promotion at the time.
[SHAWN]: The media dubbed us Unstable�. But we called each other team-mates.
[RAAAHHHHHH]
[PAGE]: THESE FANS ARE GOING WILD!!!! THEY CAN�T BELIEVE IT�. I CAN�T BELIEVE IT!!!!
[MCCOY]: I�m gonna be sick.
[Shawn gets up close to Adam now, as the two superstars are now face to face mere inches apart.]
[SHAWN]: Well this sure as a hell ain�t the NWC thank god�. And this ain�t the NAWA�. No Chris Stratford for you to hide behind. Me and you�. We got some unfinished business.
[Shawn drops the mic and goes for a fore-arm smash, Adam-X blocks and now the two are exchanging blows.]
[MCCOY]: YES!!!!
[PAGE]: ADAM-X AND SHAWN ANDREWS THEY�RE GOING AT IT RIGHT HERE AND RIGHT NOW�.
[Adam�s Authority teammates coming rushing out from the backstage area as right behind come Ripper Longshanks and Jeremiah Blackwell.]
[PAGE]: The Darkness is here�. Everyone�s in the ring it�s an all out brawl�MY GOD! WE HAVE TO GO TO A COMMERCIAL!!
[Fade to a commercial for TakeDown Productions a History of Central States Wrestling]
