[PAGE]: We're back, folks. Last week here on WildFire, we saw a new Great Plains Champion crowned, "The Professor" Chris Wright, but not without a little bit of help from CSWA Heavyweight Champion, Johnny Storm...
[McCOY]: Baaaaaah...when will you ever learn to give credit where credit's due? Wright deserves that title, he beat Constantine one, two, three in the middle of the ring!
[PAGE]: With a little bit of help from the Darkness, of course...
[McCOY]: [mimicking Page] "With a little bit of help from the Darkness, of course..."...Eddie, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Wright's opponent a member of the Darkness as well?
[PAGE]: What's your point, Russ?
[McCOY]: No point...just an observation...
[PAGE]: You and your observations...folks, let's go up to ringside!
[DIAMOND LOU]: Ladies and Gentlemen, this contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the CSWA GREAT PLAINS CHAMPIONSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!! First, coming down the aisle, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, weighing in at 268 lbs., he is the challenger..."THE LORD OF THE RING" TARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANIS!!!"
[The lights go down and they turn to blues and greens. The fans boo as they know who is coming, slowly the sounds of The Union Underground and "South Texas Deathride" kicks in.]
[The lights whirl around the stage, catching a glimpse of a man]
As the music reaches the soft part, the fans become louder with the boos and hisses.]
[Taranis slowly walks down the ramp, he is in no rush, he teases to slaps a few hands of the fans, but doesn't instead he trash talks to them.]
[Taranis circles the ring, like a bird circling his prey]
[Taranis gets on the ring apron and turns to the crowd]
[Taranis holds both his hands on the air as he stands on the ring a apron, he takes off his Axis shirt and points at the fans in the front row before spitting at them]
[Taranis steps easily over the second rope into the ring. Taranis tests the ropes and waits...]
[Taranis begins to circle the ring as the music comes to an end]
[DIAMOND LOU]: And his opponent...being accompained to the ring by Jennifer Hampton, weighing in at 228 lbs., he is the CSWA Great Plains Champion..."THE PROFESSOR" CHRIS WRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!"
[The lights go black and then the opening strains to �A Little Night Music� by Mozart come through the speakers.]
[As the music softens into a more mellow tune, the words �The Professor� Chris Wright scroll onto the black screen in bold white lettering. Underneath the outline of an old style writing quill appears.]
[A spotlight appears on the ramp and into it step Jennifer Hampton and Chris Wright. Jennifer is wearing a high cut black skirt and a pale blue top that is cut in a low V showing some cleavage. Chris is dressed in a tweed jacket with a pair of black wrestling trunks and black boots. Around his waist on the outside of the jacket is the Great Plains Title. Jen walks over and gets down on her knees, then she spritz�s some water on the title and wipes it away to shine it up before she climbs back to her feet.]
[Chris and Jen stand basking in the boos of the crowd before they walk down the aisle completely ignoring everyone in the crowd.]
[First Jennifer and then Chris walk up the ring steps, Chris then sits down on the second rope and holds the top one up so that Jennifer can make her way through easier, giving the crowd behind her a very nice shot of her behind. Following her into the ring, Chris struts around it for a moment before motioning Alexander to get the ball rolling]
[Referee Barry Alexander calls for the bell, and the match is underway. "The Professor" and "The Lord of the Ring" circle each other before locking up in a collar and elbow tie-up. Taranis hits Wright with a knee to the chest before locking in a standing side headlock on Wright. The former Mr. Dude cinches it in further, but "The Professor" reverses it by sending Taranis into the ropes, connecting with a...]
[PAGE]: Spinning heel kick from Wright! Taranis quickly back up to his feet though...another spinning heel kick from Wright! A third spinning heel kick...blocked by Taranis, but Wright counters with an enziguiri!
[McCOY]: Wright's really taking it to Taranis in the early going, Eddie.
[Wright scoops Taranis up and connects with a shoulder-breaker. Back to his feet, Wright goes off the ropes and lands an elbowdrop to the throat area of Taranis. Wright slaps on a choke hold, but referee Barry Alexander begins to count]
[ALEXANDER]: ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
FO...
[PAGE]: And "The Professor" breaks the count just before Alexander got to four.
[McCOY]: Smart move by Wright, he's just trying to wear him down for the easy win!
[PAGE]: I think Wright was trying to avoid being disqualified, Russ...
[McCOY]: Bahhhhh...doesn't matter if he does, titles don't change hands on disqualifications!
[PAGE]: Wright going for the early pinfall here...
[ALEXANDER]: ONE...
TWO...
[Taranis kicks out at two]
[McCOY]: It'll take way more than that to put away the "Lord of the Ring", Eddie!
[Wright pulls Taranis up by the hair, grabs him in a bear hug, and hits a belly to belly suplex. "The Professor" follows up with a German Release Suplex. Wright back up to his feet, springs off the ropes with a moonsault, but...]
[PAGE]: He rolled out of the way!!! Taranis rolled out of the way!!!
[McCOY]: Great counter by "The Lord of the Ring"!!!
[Taranis immediately springs back up to his feet. Grabbing the slightly winded Great Plains Champion, Taranis whips him off the ropes, and...]
[PAGE]: Facebuster!!! Taranis with the facebuster, and...PUMPHANDLE SLAM!!! WHAT A HUGE PUMPHANDLE SLAM FROM TARANIS!!!
[McCOY]: He damn near drove him right through the mat with that one! Taranis going for the cover...NEW GREAT PLAINS CHAMPION...
ONE...
TWO...
THR...
[PAGE] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Wright just barely got a shoulder up!!!
[McCOY]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Dammit!!!
[PAGE]: Wright just barely got a shoulder up. Taranis pulls "The Professor" back up to his feet, whips him into the ropes...no, reversal by Wright...clothesline from Wright missed, Taranis ducked underneath that, back off the ropes...
[McCOY]: SPEAR!!! SPEAR!!! SPEAR!!!
[PAGE]: WHAT AN AMAZING COUNTER MOVE BY TARANIS!!! BOTH MEN ARE DOWN!!!
[McCOY]: Come on, Taranis!!! Get up!!!
[Alexander began to count...]
ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
FOUR...
FIVE...
[Taranis slowly began to stir...Wright still wasn't moving though]
SIX...
SEVEN...
EIGHT...
[Taranis back up to his feet, he staggered over towards Wright, ready to go right back on the attack, but...]
[PAGE]: WHAT A REVERSAL!!! Wright connected with a drop toe hold straight into an STF!!!
[McCOY]: YESSSSSSSS!!! I knew it!!! Wright was just playing possum! They don't call him "The Professor" for nothing, Eddie!!!
[PAGE]: Well, it certainly was a smart move by Wright...
[McCOY]: Smart move??? BAHHHHHH...it was BRILLIANT, Eddie!!!
[Wright continued to lock on the STF even tighter and tighter. Alexander leaned in to see if Taranis would tap out, but "The Lord of the Ring" struggled to try and get to the ropes. An elbow to Wright...a second elbow...a third elbow, and the hold was about to break, but Wright managed to maintain the hold, locking it even tighter]
[PAGE]: Taranis cannot break the hold. He's in serious trouble here, Russ!
[McCOY]: Damn right, and I'm lovin' it!!!
[PAGE]: Russ, just who ARE you cheering for, anyway?
[Wright continues to cinch the hold on tighter, but somehow Taranis manages to hang on. Alexander once again checks to see if he'll tap out, but "The Lord of the Ring" resists the urge, and tensing up his arm, he reaches for the ropes...]
[PAGE]: Taranis trying to make it to the ropes...CAN...HE...DO...IT???
[McCOY]: He can't do this!!!
[Taranis desperately reaches for the ropes, and just as bottom rope is within reach, Wright releases the hold, but drags the Darkness/Axis member back into the centre of the ring and slaps him around a few times, until...]
[PAGE]: Reverse chin lock by Wright! He's got him locked in a reverse chin lock! Great strategy by "The Professor" here, keeping his opponent grounded.
[McCOY]: Of course it's brilliant, Eddie! Give him some credit, will ya?
[But suddenly, Taranis manages to grab a hold of both of Wright's ankles, and, struggling back to his feet...]
[PAGE]: Taranis is back on his feet!!! What's he gonna do here???
[McCOY]: I don't know, Eddie...
[PAGE]: OH MY GOD!!! Taranis dropped Wright right on his back!!! What a counter!!! Both men are down!!!
[Indeed, both men are down once again, as Alexander once again begins to count, but as he hits the four count, Taranis is back up on his feet once again. He picks Wright up by the head, and connects with a fisherman suplex. Immediately, Taranis back up to his feet, puts Wright into a headlock, and...]
[PAGE]: REVERSE DDT!!! TARANIS WITH A REVERSE DDT!!! A cover, we could have a new champion here...
ONE...
TWO...

[PAGE]: NOOOOOOOOO!!! Wright kicked out!!! He kicked out at 2 7/8ths!!! Unbelievable!!!
[McCOY]: Dammit!!! Come on, Taranis!!! You got him right where you want him!!!
[PAGE]: Again, Russ, just who are you cheering for?
[McCOY]: Shut up, Eddie!
["The Lord of the Ring" pulls the Great Plains Champion back up to his feet, hitting him with lefts, rights, and an uppercut, but Wright blocked the uppercut, but Taranis countered with a big head-butt to "The Professor". Taranis goes for a side Russian leg sweep, but Wright blocks it and lifts Taranis up for a huge...]
[PAGE]: ATOMIC DROP!!! Wright with a huge atomic drop to Taranis...Wright rolls him up, this could be over...
ONE...
TWO...
THREE...
[PAGE] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Taranis just barely kicked out!!!
[PAGE]: "The Professor" just about caught Taranis by surprise with that quick roll-up...
[McCOY]: Surprise, nothing! It was brilliant!
[Wright quickly back up to his feet, stomps away at Taranis, keeping him grounded on the mat. Wright goes to work on the former Mr. Dude's legs, stomping the knee, grabbing him by the ankle and trying to wrench his opponent's knee in all sorts of directions that knees don't normally bend, but Taranis tries a desperation kick to Wright, which slightly staggered "The Professor". A second kick to Wright, but Wright blocked the kick by grabbing a hold of his foot, and...]
[PAGE]: ELBOW DROP!!! WRIGHT WITH AN ELBOWDROP TO TARANIS' LEFT KNEE!!!
[McCOY]: That's gotta hurt, Eddie!
[PAGE]: Wright continuing to work on that left knee...he's got Taranis by the ankle, flips him over and...OWWWWWWW!!! Wright jammed Taranis' knee straight into the mat! And again!
And again! Wright's in full control here!
[McCOY]: Damn right he's in control! Look at that, he's got Taranis by the legs, and...
[PAGE]: FIGURE FOUR!!! WRIGHT WITH THE FIGURE FOUR ON TARANIS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING!!!
[McCOY]: Come on, Taranis...tap, dammit!!!
["The Professor" continues to keep the figure four locked on the former Mr. Dude, who screams in pain. Alexander leans in to see if "The Lord of the Ring" is ready to submit, but Taranis rather defiantly shakes his head, even though he holds his hand just above the mat, seemingly poised to tap out]
[McCOY]: TAP, DAMMIT!!!
[Alexander still leaning in to see if Taranis is ready to tap, suddenly notices that both his shoulders are down...]
ONE...
TWO...
THR...
[PAGE] SHOULDER UP!!! TARANIS GOT A SHOULDER UP!!!
[McCOY]: Come on, Taranis!!! Know when you're beaten for crying out loud!!!
[Taranis, who had just managed to get a shoulder up, somehow found a way to pull himself right back up so that he was now almost facing "The Professor", who still kept the figure four locked in. "The Lord of the Ring" landed one shot to Wright...a second, followed by a third, and suddenly...]
[PAGE]: He broke the hold!!! Taranis broke the hold!!!
[McCOY]: YESSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
[Taranis struggled to get himself back up to his feet, albeit staggered by the damage already done to his knee. Picking up his opponent and Irish whipping him to the corner, Taranis greeted him with a running lariat.Taranis Irish whipped Wright to the other corner, but Wright reversed it, sending the former Mr. Dude into the opposite corner. Wright charged in for a stinger splash, but Taranis leap frogged over Wright, sending Wright crashing into the corner. Taranis quickly rolled him up with a handful of tights...]
[PAGE]: HE'S GOT A HANDFUL OF TIGHTS!!!
ONE...
TWO...
[McCOY]: IT'S OVER!!!
THREE...
[PAGE] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! He kicked out!!! Wright kicked out at 2 9/10ths!!! Unbelievable!!!
[Taranis, sensing frustration, yells at Alexander and slaps his hand counting to three, but Alexander reiterates that it was only a two count. Taranis gets "The Professor" back up on his feet for a...]
[PAGE]: SWINGING NECK BREAKER!!! A SWINGING NECK BREAKER FROM TARANIS!!!
[McCOY]: Come on, Taranis!!! Finish him off!!!
[PAGE]: It looks like he might just be doing that, Russ, he's going up to the top turnbuckle...now what?
[Taranis leaps off the top turnbuckle with a flying elbow, but...]
[PAGE]: HE MISSED!!! TARANIS MISSED WITH THE FLYING ELBOW!!!
[McCOY]: YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
[PAGE]: Will you stop?
["The Professor" himself goes to the top turnbuckle, as Jennifer Hampton on the outside slaps the mat, urging her man on. Wright leaps off the top turnbuckle with a...]
[PAGE]: FLYING SENTON!!! FLYING SENTON FROM WRIGHT!!! COVER...
ONE...
TWO...
THR...
[PAGE]: No, wait...Wright pulled him up!!!
[McCOY]: Why the hell would he do that? Taranis was done!
[Russell McCoy's question was quickly answered as "The Professor" rose to his feet and shouted out to the crowd "CLASS DISMISSED!". Wright pulls Taranis back up, grabs his head over his shoulder in a stunner position, but then runs into the nearest turnbuckle, climbs it quickly and then flips back over Taranis so that he slams the back of his head into the mat]
[PAGE]: CLASS DISMISSED!!! WRIGHT WITH THE "CLASS DISMISSED"!!! THAT'S GOTTA BE IT!!! HE HOOKS THE LEG, COVER...
ONE...
TWO...
AND...
[McCOY]: IT'S OVER!!!
THREE!!!
[DING DING DING]
[PAGE]: "The Professor" Chris Wright is successful in his first title defense, and what a great match it was!!!
[McCOY]: You said it, Eddie!
[PAGE]: Let's go up to "Diamond" Lou Walsh to make it official...
[DIAMOND LOU]: Here is your winner, and STILL CSWA Great Plains Champion..."THE PROFESSOR" CHRIS WRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!
[As referee Barry Alexander hands "The Professor" his championship belt and raises his arm in victory, Wright breaks away from the ref and proceeds to stomp away at his downed opponent...]
[PAGE]: Come on, Wright, the match is over!
[McCOY]: Come on, Eddie...nothing wrong with a little "extra curricular" activity, is there?
[PAGE]: No pun intended, right Russ?
[McCOY]: What?
[As Wright continues to stomp away on Taranis, a strange figure hops over the guardrail and slides under the ring. Another one does the same thing from another side of the ring. And another, from yet ANOTHER side of the ring. All three are decked out from head to toe in black jump-suits, wearing black hoods over their heads...]
[PAGE]: What the hell...
[The three strange figures surround Wright. "The Professor" suddenly has a look of fear on his face, but that expression soon changes when Wright himself and the three hooded individuals all turn around in unison and proceed to stomp a mud-hole into "The Lord of the Ring".]
[PAGE]: What the hell...IT WAS A SET-UP!!! IT WAS A SET-UP ALL ALONG!!! MY GOD, IT WAS A SET-UP!!!
[McCOY]: BRILLIANT MOVE, WRIGHT!!! THAT'S WHY HE'S "THE PROFESSOR", EDDIE!!!
[One of the three hooded figures slides out of the ring and grabs a ringside steel chair, while the other two and Wright continue stomping away, when suddenly...]
[PAGE]: Uh oh...
[McCOY]: HERE COME THE DARKNESS!!!
[It was indeed The Darkness, as charging down the aisle comes Ripper Longshanks, Loki, Jeremiah Blackwell, and Johnny Storm. The three in the hoods hightail it out of the ring, as does Wright, and scatter off to the four winds as the Darkness members rush down to the ring to check on Taranis]
[McCOY]: Who were those masked men, Eddie?
