[Slowly the lights start to dim until only a small spotlight is focused in on a lone speaker high above the arena. Without warning a loud screeching sound blasts through the speaker making the more shaky of faces jump in their seats. A moment later the soft voice of a frightened child can be heard.]
[CHILD]: I can't be afraid. I know it is only in my imagination. But yet I can feel it closing in around me. So cold........so harsh so.......
[A second voice interrupts the child. This one is harsh and raspy]
[VOICE]: DARK!
[CHILD]: [frightened sound to her voice now] Y.y..yes. Dark.
[VOICE]: Get used to it child. For there is no more light...................ONLY DARKNESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
[With a loud bang, the CSWAtron jumps to life and the blood red words The Darkness appear in the middle of the screen. It quickly dissappears and is replaced by the faces of Ripper Longshanks and Jeremiah Blackwell slowly merging into one.From the lone speaker the easily recognizable voice of Ozzy Osbourne screams ino the arena.]
[As Randy Rhodes starts hammering away on his guitar, the arena becomes completely dark except for a single strobe that starts flashing at the top of the entrance ramp. A moment later thick smoke starts to billow up from underneath the metal rampway which gives the whole area a surreal eerie feeling. ]
[DIAMOND LOU] And now entering weighing in at 250 pounds, he hails from Sudbury Ontario Canada he is the Loose Cannon, Ripper Longshannnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkssssssssssssssssssss
[The CSWAtron flashes again this time showing "The Loose Cannon' in the middle of the ring arms raised in victory the ever presend shark grin on his facec. Another flash of light and this time the screen shows "Blackjack" Jeremiah Blackwell giving some unknown wrestler the Blackjack Driver onto the concrete floor outside the ring.]
[A lone figure walks throught he thick smoke the strobe light giving his movement a jerky half crazed look. The fans quickly recognize the person as Jeremiah Blackwell and they let him have it with a chorus of boos. Blackwell for his part ignores the fans and quickly adjusts the thick fingerless black leather gloves on his hands. Blackwell's hair is down to his collar, a thick goatee covers his well worn face. Since he is not scheduled to wrestle Blackwell is dressed in a pair of black Wind River jeans, with a matching black Darkness T-shirt that shows the faces of Ripper and Blackwell merging into one face]
[Above him the CSWAtron shows the latest incarnation of The Darkness taking out Garrett Davidson at the last sacntioned MSWA show. The screen flashes again this time showing Blackwell and Ripper walking down a dimly lit corridor. In the background it looks like a flood of blood is following them.]
[Without warning "The Loose Cannon" Ripper Longshanks steps through the smoke and stands beside his partner. Ripper is dressed in a pair of full length black wrestling pants with the words Ripper written in blood red down each leg, roplets of what appears to be blood drip off the last R in his name. Ripper wrists and hands are wrapped up in white athletic tape and the words Deep End are written across the knuckles off each hand. The strobe light gives the tattoo on his abdomen a life of it's own and it appears the eyes peeking out from behind the pair of hand tearing through his stomach are blinking.]
[As the CSWAtron shows various images of Ripper and Blackwell disposing of varioud opponents the two wrestlers slowly make their way to the ring. Boxes of half eaten popcorn and empty beer glasses bounce off the two men but instead of retaliating like most of the fans want to see, The Darkness simply walk down to ringside and slide into the ring]
[Ripper jumps onto the nearest turnbuckle and throws his arms into the air. The shark grin appears on his face and stares down at the crowd as if they are pieces of meat to be devoured. Blackwell starts walking around the middle of the ring his face devoid of emotion, his eyes hard and wicked.]
[Ripper jumps off the turnbuckle and starts making his way around the other three. Each time he climbs up the fans start booing. A few of the more brave start chanting "YOU SUCK" or "AUTHORITY RULES". Ripper just grins at the comments and returns the favor by spitting a wad of phlegm into the first row. Blackwell leans against the ropes and points a finger into the crowd and starts jawing at them. A can of beer soars over his head and bounces off the mat. Blackwell spins around grabs the can of beer and hurls it back into the crowd. Security rushes over to the hot spot and quickly escorts a fan out of the arena before any more trouble can erupt. Crazy Train starts to fade away as Blackwell and Ripper meet in the middle of the ring and wait for the arrrival of Jonny Five]
[The music goes silent over the speakers. As fans are still on thier feet yelling music kicks back in over the speakers.]
[Five and Chavez quicklystep out onto the rampway and are immediately bombarded with "YOU SUCK" and "WHERE"S VINNY' chants. Five starts to go after the fans but is immediately subdued by Chavez who manages to calm him down]
[Jonny and Eric both slowly makes thire way to the ring, all the while yelling obscenities back at the fans. ]
[Both men reach the ring and get in. Jonny climbs the top rope in the left corner and faces the entrance. Jonny then raises his arms in the air and extends both middle fingers causing another wave of trash to fly at him, as the fans boo at the top of their lungs.]
[Page:] Look at the reaction from the fans they really hate Jonny with a passion.
[As Five hops of the top rope from taunting the fans he turns right into a running clotheline by Ripper.]
[McCoy:] How he managed to keep his head intacted on that move is nothing short of magic.
[Five a little taken back from the clothesline rises to his feet. Ripper wasting no time begin to deliver several forearm shot to the back of Five. Jonny drops down to his knees trying to absorb the pain the best he can. Five with his left hand grabs onto Rippers waistline and pulls him and delivers a right uppercut into the abdominal area of Ripper. Longshanks hesitates for a moment leaving the window wide open for five to deliver more shots to the abs. Five then rising to his feet delivers a few left arm jabs followed by a thunderous right that sends Ripper to the canvas.]
[Page:] WOW did you see that?
[McCoy:] Jonny Five acting like a hammer and pounding the would be nail Ripper to the ground.
[Five picking up Ripper by the head sets him up and delivers a well executed snap suplex. Five quicky rising back to his feet. Picking Ripper back up and placing the head of Longshanks between his legs. Throwing both hands in the air and yelling.]
[Page:] Jonny Five is going to end of it right here.
[McCoy:] Five has no choice. I think the longer this match goest he more in turns in Ripper's favor.
[Five leans over and putting his arms under Ripper. Lifting him up like a rag doll.]
[McCoy:] Here it comes the Deep Six Powerbomb
[Jonny starts to spin just as Ripper grabs the back of Fives head and delivers a punch. Using the momentum over the spinning Five, Ripper hops off of Jonnys shoulder and executes a torando ddt. As both men land on the mat they lay there as the ref begins to count.]
1...
2...
3...

[Ripper begins to rise to his feet as does Jonny]
5...
6...
7...
8...
[Both men are now to thier feet looking almost exhausted. However Jonny starts to charge at Ripper with a running clothesline. Ripper at the last second ducks as Jonny runs and bounces off the ropes. Ripper right there to meet him and delivers a belly to belly suplex.]
[Page:] Oh my Ripper has seemed to find an that extra fuel.
[McCoy:] The match is close to being over Eddie. Five is great but I don't think he has the gas to finish Ripper off.
[Ripper walks over to Jonny Five whom is on his stomache. Ripper looks up and around the arena smiling with an evil intent.]
[Page:] It looks like Ripper is going to go for the Straight Jacket a devestating manuever.
[McCoy:] I feel sorry for Five.
[Ripper grabs Jonnys foot and bends it up. Ripper then lies on his side, his bottom leg is behind Jonnys knee, his top leg is hooked around Jonnys shin/ankle. Ripper then throws Jonnys near arm inbetween his legs and scissor locks the arm and Jonnys ankle. Ripper then reaches across Jonnys chest with one arm and around Jonnys free arm and locks his hands around Jonnys head. Ripper then begins pulling back on Jonnys neck. Jonny is yelling out in pain the ref comes over to see if Jonny will tap out. Jonny shaking his head wildly left and right. Rippers then pulls back further almost to full extention.]
[Page:] Jonny is one tough son of a gun.
[McCoy:] I can't believe you actually thought he was going to win.
[The Ref is about to throw his arm down to call the match as he watches Jonny about to tap out. Just as Jonny is about to tap out Ripper releases the hold.]
[Page:] What in the world is running through the mind of Ripper Longshanks?
[McCoy:] Living up to his name he is a Loose Cannon that is going to inflict more pain on Jonny Five.
[Five begins to hold his body in pain as Ripper walks over to the corner. Leaning against the turn buckle in a very cocky way just waiting for Jonny to get up. After a few moments Ripper looks down at his wrist as if he was looking to see what time it was. On the outside of the ring Chavez grabs a folding chair and runs to the corner where Ripper is standing. Reaching into the ring he pushes on Rippers back. Ripper turns to see Chavez with a chair but before Ripper can do anything the ref is the to break it up. With the mixup between Ripper the Ref and Chavez. It gives plenty of time for Jonny to rise back up and sees Chavez slide the folded chair in the ring. Reaching over to pick it up Jonny notices Blackwell coming up the steel steps. Jonny with no hesitation delivers a chair shot to Blackwell. Blood immediatly begins to gush down Blackwells face as he falls off the steps and lands on the cold concrete.]
[Page] OH MY GOD Jonny Five just laid out Blackwell
[McCoy] He should've stayed outside the ring and minded his own business.
[Five begins charging at Ripper as Chavez distracts the ref. As Five is about to unload Ripper turns around in time to dodge the shot. The chair connects to the back of the unsuspecting refs head. Sending him to the canvas. Ripper quickly on his feet kicks Jonny in the gut. Using that brief moment he executes a drop kick to the face sending Five to the mat and the chair sailing across the ring.]
[Page] Look at the carnage in the ring.
[McCoy] I never liked that ref anyways he played favorites.
[Ripper walks towards the otherside of the ring where the chair is. Holding his abdominal area as he is leaning over to pick up the chair.]
[Page] Ripper is up to something
[McCoy] Must I repeat myself? Ripper won't stop until Five is crimson mist and bone chips.
[Ripper holding the chair walks towards a helpless Jonny Five. Just before he reaches Five he places the chair in the middle of the ring. The crowd starts to rise to thier feet as Ripper helps up Jonny Five to his feet. Ripper places his right arm on the back of Fives neck as he swings Jonnys right arm over the back of his neck. Raising his head up he looks around the arena looking at the faces of the fans who eagerly cheer him on.]
[Page] Don't do it Ripper you're going to kill him.
[With very little hesitation Ripper lifts Jonny in the air and executes a soviet suplex onto the steel chair.]
[Page] OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THAT?
[McCoy] STEEEEEEEEEEELLLL
[Page] Ripper just sucked the very life out of Jonny Five with that move.
[Ripper exhausted rolls over an places his arm on the chest of Jonny. The crowd begins the count.]
1...
2...
3...
[McCoy] There is no ref damn that Jonny Five.
[PAGE] Jonny Five is a fricken genius planning ahead and taking out the ref.
[Ripper realizing the ref isn't counting gets up and walks over to revive him. While Ripper tends to the ref Chavez slides into the ring to help get Jonny back to his feet. As the ref starts to come to so does Jonny Five. As Ripper turns he finds the big boot of Jonny Five. Chavez has made his way back outside the ring.]
[Page] Both man are staggering in the ring seemingly out of gas and running on fumes.
[McCoy] I don't know what's keeping them on thier feet.
[Page] The will to win.
[Jonny tries to go for the big boot once again but Ripper catches his leg. Spinning him around he wraps his arms around him delivering a bell to back suplex. Ripper taking a bit to get back on his feet makes his way over to Jonny who is starting to rise back to his feet over in the corner of the ring. Just as Jonny rises to his feet he is met by a hard right by Ripper. With Jonnys back in the corner Ripper lowers the shoulder and delivers devastating shoulder thrusts.]
[Page] Ripper is trying do knock out the last breath of Jonny Five.
[McCoy] Also turning his ribs into boneless ribs.
[After a few shoulder thrusts Ripper picks Jonny Five up in the air and places him on the top rope.]
[Page] Dear God please tell me he isn't going to do what I think he is.
[Ripper placing Jonnys head under his right arm. He lifts both man go to the air as Ripper executes the Descent and Jonnys head hits the canvas and lies motionless on the mat.]
[McCoy] The career ending deadly Descent of Ripper Longshanks just ended this match what do ya think Page?
[Page just sits in his seat in astonishment with his mouth wide open and his eyes trying to register if he saw what he thinks he just saw.]
[McCoy] Well this match is over all Ripper has to do is finish this match.
[Both man remain motionless as the referee begins the standing 10 count.]
1..

[On the outside of the ring Blackwell begins to come to as he feels on his blood covered head and face. Chavez decides to buy more time by hopping up on the apron. The ref stopping the count to go and tend with Chavez. As the ref tries to get Chavez off the rope Ripper rolls over once again placing his arm on the chest of Jonny Five.]
[McCoy] This is it.
[Page] DAMN THAT CHAVEZ
[McCoy] Turn around ref turn around
[Blackwell rising to his feet starts to notice what's going on in the ring. As he makes his way around the ring Chavez spots him and jumps off the apron and runs. The ref turns to spot the pin and slides on the ground and begins the count.]
One...
Two...
Thr..
[Jonny throws his right arm up and the ref shows only 2 fingers. Ripper is in disbelief and shocked that Jonny kicked out of the Descent. Ripper slowly makes his way to his feet. Jonny is barely moving. Chavez had made it around the ring and again hops back onto the apron taunting Ripper. Ripper walks off to deal with Chavez as Blackwell makes his way to Chavez. As Blackwell turns the corner Chavez runs off again. Ripper turns back around to find a standing Jonny Five who gouges the eyes of Ripper. Jonny takes a few steps back and charges at Ripper with a clothesline. The impact sends both men over the top rope.]
[Page] I don't know how much longer these 2 gladiators can battle.
[ Both men make thier way to thier feet and begin to exchange punches. A right by Five followed by a right by Ripper. Back and forth back and forth back and forth. Until Five blocks Rippers punch and counter punches. Ripper swings again but Five blocks and counter punches. Then Five delivering a few jabs to Ripper. Five the grabs Ripper by the shoulders and drives his knee to the gut of Ripper. Jonny wasting no time and rolls Ripper on the the announcers table]
[McCoy] I am getting out of here
[Page and McCoy take off the headphones and step away from the table as Jonny places Rippers head between his legs. Throwing his arms in the air and yelling eratically. He leans over to pick him up but Ripper wraps his leg around Jonnys to block the move. Jonny tries again but Ripper repeating the block once again. Jonny frustrated releases the hold only to see Ripper swing his head back and swing it foward making a hard head butt. Jonny appears to be in a dazed state as Ripper puts Fives head between his legs and with no hesitation lifts him up. The camara lights flash throughout the arena and the crowd roars as Ripper swings downward with Fives body through the table. Althought struggling to keep balance Ripper still holding onto the legs of Jonny spins him over to complete the Deep End. Jonny extends out his arms in pain and agony. Just as he is about to tap out Chavez hits Ripper in the back to break the hold. Ripper rising to his feet stands infront of a very scared Chavez who turns to run only to find Blackwell running towards him. Before Chavez can react Blackwell delivers the Round-Up. Blackwell with blood all over him stands back up and helps Ripper bring Jonny Five to his feet and slide him under the bottom rope. McCoy and Page come back over to the headphones.]
[Page] If either one of these athletes wrestle again it will be a damn miracle.
[McCoy] It's going to take more then David Copperfield to pull off that miracle Page.
[Page] Look at the carnage it looks like a damn train wreck.
[Ripper has slowly risen to his feet and begins to drag Jonny to the middle of the ring]
[Page] Look at the body of Jonny Five he looks lifeless.
[McCoy] Ripper is now wrestling corpses for victories now.
Ripper raising Jonny to his feet then places Jonnys head inbetween his legs.]
[Page] OH MY GOD NOT AGAIN
[Ripper raises Jonny sky high and comes down with a thunderous powerbomb for the first stage of the Deep End. Holding onto the legs yet again flipping over Jonny Five to lock in the boston crab to complete the Deep End. Ripper is leaning so far back his head is almost touching Jonnys. The ref comes over to the unconcious Jonny Five. Raising his hand he lets go and it falls to the mat. The ref again raising the arm of Jonny Five and letting it go and again if falls lifelessly to the mat. The ref does it for the third and final time as the hand falls and bounces off the canvas the ref jumps to his feet to signal for the bell.]
[Page] DEAR GOD GET THE WHOLE HOSPITAL DOWN HERE
[Blackwell haulds Chavez to his feet and throws him into the ring where Ripper catches him and delivers a third powerbomb. Chavez remains motionless until Blackwell slides under the ropes and hauls him to his feet. A moment later Chavez is straddling Blackwell's shoulders. Ripper quickly scrambles up the nearest turnbuckle and steadies himself for a moment before leaping into the air. Flashbulbs start going off as Ripper wraps his arms around Chavez's head and starts to come down. At the last moment Blackwell releases Chavez and the manager of the former Great Plains Champion slams face first into the mat courtesy of a top rope DDT by Ripper]
[Page]: OH..........MY...............GOD!!!!!!!!!
[McCoy]:Call the morgue. The Darkness has just killed Chavez.
[Ripper calls for a mic which Diamond Lou quickly throws over to the Loose Cannon. Ripper catches it and in one smooth motion brings it up to his mouth]
[Ripper]: One example was already made. Two more are now lying on the mat. Adam-X,. Lancaster, Authority. Take this as your notice. The era of the good guy is over. Hold onto your asses shitbirds, cuz the lights are going out and only Darkness will remain...........
[With those words spoken The Darkness roll out of the ring and slowly start making their way up the ramp. At the top Jack Cross appears and the three men turn to face the crowd. Each man has a evil sneer on their face, eyes are squinted up in anger. Ripper points to the ceiling and without warning the lights go out.. When they return The Darkness is gone and all that remains of the three men are their images on the CSWAtron.]
[McCoy]:DAMN RIGHT! About time those damn cheaters get put on notice.
[Page]:I have a feeling things are just going to keep getting bloodier here. And on that note we will be right back.
[Camera fades to a commercial for Dairy Queen. YEAH THEY'RE THICK..............]
