September 30, 2001 | Tokyo Dome | Tokyo, Japan
- INTRODUCTION -
The Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan has housed many important matches in Japanese wrestling history. Numerous new champions have been crowned at Tokyo Dome Shows. But this time it's different. A new champion, in a new company, new to this country, will be crowned at the Dome. The first ever gfwa OMEGA Global Honored Crown Champion will be decided at the first big gfwa OMEGA PPV, Tokyo Dome Show. In front of 10,000 people, nine men will compete in a single elimination tournament to see who is the best of the best. Only one man will prevail, as eight men are left to wonder what went wrong. Tonight is the night one man's dream comes true, and eight others are shattered. Tonight is a night of history.
Albeit relatively small for such an event, 10,000 is the highest attendence for any gfwa OMEGA event since it's start on August 1st. 10,000 paying customers are here to see whom will walk out as the first ever GHC Champion. That man will be seen as the top man in the promotion, and one of the best the world has to offer. The fans are stomping their feet and clapping as loudly as possible, as they anxiously await the start of this event. The ring crew has finished it's work on the ring, having put on the ring apron sheets. Down the long, nearly fifty-foot, catwalk stands something unseen in the gfwa OMEGA thus far. A big screen. Not as large as other promotions use, but still rather large. Just below it is a tunnel, that tunnel has lights all about it, and they start to shine different colored lights throughout the Dome.
Without warning the lights shut off and fireworks begin to shoot into the air. The crowd is going nuts, as the fireworks finally stop and the lights start up again. Switching back and forth between fireworks and lights for several minutes. Finally, the words "Tokyo Dome Show" come on the big screen. The words explode and imagines of past gfwa OMEGA matches are shown. The Jolly Potter winning the inaguaral battle royal, The Manhattan Project defeating Devilz Darkside, The Butcher weilding his pink vibrator, Max Danger and Sean Casey murdering each other for everyone's delight, plus lots more are shown. All that finally ends, when those two familiar voices are heard.
Randy Boggs: Welcome, everyone, to the Tokyo Dome Show! The first Pay Per View extravaganza brought to you by the gfwa OMEGA! Tonight, we will crown our first ever GHC Heavyweight and GHC Tag Team Champions! Nine men compete for the GHC Championship, while Judicial Command and The Manhattan Project duel it out for Tag Team supremacy! I'm Randy Boggs, and joining me as always is King Royce!
King Royce: It is I, King Royce, here in front of 10,000 screaming and stomping fans at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan! Tonight we put the gfwa OMEGA on the map in the wrestling business, and for the first time in two months, the Japanese fans will see us for what we really are!
Randy Boggs: Tonight is our night to shine, and our boys won't disappoint. Everyone from the jobbers to the ring crew to the executives will give it their all to put out the best product possible, and you'll be glad they do.
King Royce: Tonight is the night of firsts, and just like the crowning of new champions, tonight will be the first intergender match in gfwa OMEGA history, as Angelica Dawson takes on Kan!
Randy Boggs: Tonight is going...
- THE RETURN -
Randy is cut off by explosion from the big screen as everyone looks up in amazement. The screen flickers and lights up and the crowd is awe struck. Two men standing with microphones that no one expected!..... the DEVILZ DARKSIDE!!! The crowd goes wild as they stand and scream. Angel gets a slight smile on his face as he looks down at his brother who is in a wheel chair. Angel is resting his arm on the side and suddenly a small creature jumps up on his shoulder... its JOE! Angel turns to Joe with a smile.
Hellz Angel: Back from your visit with Kensi?
Joe: EEK!
Devilz Messenger: There goes my queit rest...
Angel laughs but suddenly remembers what he was here to do...
Hellz Angel: Excuse me.... now where was I. Oh yes the beginning.... this is the beginning you know. The beginning on a new Darkside. The very beginning of the fall of the Mahattan Project! As you can well see my partner here is unable to wrestle. I assume you realize that because if you don't you are dumber than Potter, and that isn't saying much.
Devilz Messenger: I bet you are all suprised to see us huh.... well we never left, you should be watching your back because if you aren't.... YOU are in trouble...
The screen quickly flashes to the Manhattan projects locker room...where Bronx and Brooklyn are watching the screen. They are shocked to see themselves on the tv they are watching as HELLZ ANGEL busts into throught the door! Bronx turns around and ducks the chair shot that nails Brooklyn right in the head. Bronx is soon leveled by a pair of crutches, as Messenger makes his appearance....Angel turns to the camera and smiles...
Hellz Angel: You see they weren't listening... and you better because you could be next..
The shot fades out and back in as the Big Screen shows the control room pulling out the "warning interview" tape shown earlier.... the scene fades back to the ring...
Randy Boggs: My god! They taped that interview and distracted the Manhattan Project!
King Royce: They're back! They're back, my god the Darkside is back!

"The Hitman" Vincent Cuccione VERSUS [9] Karanka
{GHC
Championship Tournament, First Round}
"Bodies" plays and out walks Karanka. He jumps up on the top rope and performs a moonsault into the ring. The crowd gives him a nice round of applause. "Only Live Once" plays and out walks Vincent Cuccione with a confident look on his face, poised to win the GHC Championship. Cuccione walks up the steps and into the ring. He flexes his muscles but Karanka is not impressed.
Yugi Kazomin: Introducing first.... Karaaaannnka!
Karanka steps forward and gets another applause.
Yugi Kazomin: Introducing second.... Vincent Cucccccione!
Cuccione steps forward and raises his arm in the air. The crowd gives him a mixed reaction. Karanka goes for a quick kick to the midsection but Vincent catches it. He smiles and gets hit in the face by an enziguiri. Cuccione is down and Karanka runs off the ropes and hits a fast soccer kick to the small of the back! Cuccione gets up fast in anger and runs after Karanka. Karanka runs off the ropes again but gets grabbed and put into a front face lock by Cuccione. The referee asks Karanka if he wants to quit but Karanka knees Cuccione in the face to answer the referee. Cuccione quickly releases and goes to check his nose which is visibly bleeding.
Randy Boggs: Karanka may have broken Cuccione's nose, King!
King Royce: (with a smile) Blood! I knew this show would be awesome!
The referee checks Cuccione and Vincent throws him down. He runs at Karanka and they lock up. Cuccione uses his strength to win the bout and gets Karanka in a head lock. He smashes Karanka to the mat and starts to kick away. The referee gets back on the job and tells Cuccione to stop. Cuccione stops and raises his arms in the air like he just won the match. Karanka with a quick roll up! 1... 2... KICKOUT! Karanka picks up Cuccione and whips him into the corner. Karanka goes to the other corner and begins to run at Cuccione. He then does a cartwheel and attempts to hit an elbow smash to Vincent's face but Vincent moves out of the way. Cuccione grabs Karanka and throws him to the corne... no he reverses it and hits Karanka with a stiff lariat! Cuccione starts to kick away once again at Karanka's midsection but Karanka grabs onto the ropes. Cuccione then picks up Karanka and goes for a nasty power bomb! Karanka grabs onto Cuccione's head with his legs and performs a rana on him, sending him to the outside! The crowd applauses Karanka who is now at the top turnbuckle, playing the crowd. Cuccione gets up and looks at the crowd.
Vincent Cuccione: Shut up!
The crowd doesn't listen and just becomes louder to piss him off. Karanka does a corkscrew dive off the top turnbuckle and lands on top of Cuccione with a lot of force! Both men are down!
Randy Boggs: That may have hurt Karanka more that it hurt Cuccione!
The referee starts to count... 1... 2... 3... 4... Karanka and Cuccione are finally showing signs of life. Cuccione gets back up slowly, rolls into the ring and then back out. He goes after Karanka and throws him into the guardrail. Some of the audience pats Karanka on the back to get him back into this match. Cuccione throws Karanka to the other guardrail. CRASH! The referee tells Cuccione to bring in back into the ring. Cuccione listens and rolls back in. Karanka pries himself off the guardrail and starts to make his way to the ring again. He stops for a quick breath and Cuccione shows his aerial assault by diving over the top rope and hitting Karanka with a flying clothesline! Both men are down again!
Randy Boggs: (amazed) That had to of hurt!
King Royce: I wish I had popcorn or a beer or something!
Cuccione picks up Karanka and rolls him back into the ring. Cuccione looks to hit the Milochi but Karanka fights his way out of it. He hits Cuccione with rights and lefts then runs off the ropes and hits a final right, sending Vincent reeling. Karanka whips Cuccione into the corner and runs to the other corner. He runs at Cuccione and does a cartwheel once again but this time jump onto the second rope and hits more rights to the top of Cuccione's head. 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10 yells the crowd in Japanese! Karanka then monkey flips Cuccione to the middle of the ring. Karanka goes to the top turnbuckle and hits a flying elbow to the face of Cuccione. Karanka gets up fast and sets Vincent up into an inverted surf board! The crowd applauds as Cuccione yells in pain. The referee asks Cuccione if he gives up. But he doesn't. After a minute and a half in this position Cuccione smashes the back of his head into Karanka's forehead. Karanka releases the hold and holds his head.
Randy Boggs: Vincent just wouldn't give up, King.
King Royce: Much to my surprise.
Cuccione stands up fast and then sets up Karanka for the Milochi! Cuccione hits it and Karanka passes out! The referee checks out Karanka and asks for the bell because it is obvious that Karanka won't be getting back up. Japanese paramedics run to the ring and slowly put Karanka onto a stretcher. The crowd applauses Karanka as he comes back to the world. He raises his hand in the air and gives the thumbs up to show that he is okay. The referee then raises Vincent Cuccione's hand to make the win official.
Yugi Kazomin: And your winner.... Vincent Cucccccione!!!
The crowd gives Cuccione a mixed reaction as he leaves the ring with a smile on his face.
Randy Boggs: Cuccione dominated that match, King. I hope Karanka is all right.
King Royce: Yeah I'd really watch out for Cuccione. He looks like a tough customer.
- PARKING LOT RAGE -
The scene opens on the parking lot. Hal Stanton's rental car pulls up to the arena parking lot. He gets out, goes to the trunk and gets out his bag. Two guys dressed in Police uniforms walk up to him. One has black hair with a pony tail, he kind looks like a steven segal type. The other has brown shaggy hair, like he came straight out of the 60s. Those who know know these two are Thor and Tiu. 2 members of TGI(Pause for applause and cheers) Bronx's old stable.
Cop 1(Tiu): Um, sir you can't park there.
Hal Stanton: Bullshit, this is my parking spot. it says wrestler's parking.
Cop 1: Do you have a permit?
Hal looks irritated, and pulls out a permit to park in the parking lot. Thor takes it. He looks at it, shows it to Tiu.
Cop 1: Um, I'm afraid this is phony.
He rips the permit in half.
Cop 1: You can't pull the wool over our eyes.
Hal Stanton: I don't have to you two are stupid enough.
Cop 2(Thor): I don't like your tone boy. You better get this car outta here, or we'll remove it.
Hal Stanton: Lemme see your tow truck.
Tiu signals to the back of the parking lot. All of a sudden a fork lift revs it's engine and advances toward the car. You notice Loki in it, he's having the time of his life. He has a TGI shirt on with a hard hat. Hal looks on inshock as the fork lifts two tongs go through the cars windows. He raises the lifts and the car raises off the ground. He raises it a good 6 feet off the ground. Then the lift starts to tip. Loki makes a suprised look as the car slips off the tongs on to it's side and onto the roof. Loki drives forward and brings the tongs down, crushin the cars hood in. He gets out of the fork-lift.
Loki: Damn those machines never behave like you want them too, my bad.
Hal looks furious. He steps toward Thor.
Hal Stanton: You Bastards! Now you're gonna pay.
Hal takes a swing at thor, who catches his hand. Tiu draws out his nightstick and whacks hal in his exposed ribs. Thor and Tiu both start to beat on Hal with their night sticks. Loki starts up the fork lift. He drives it right up to above hal. Tiu and Thor stop pounding on him. Loki drops the forks, he doesn't crush hal but puts it on him hard enough where he can't get up. Loki gets out. As Tiu, and Thor take off their shirts to reveal a TMP t-shirt.
Tiu: This beating was presented to you by The Manhattan Project, stick to singles boy!
The three walk off laughing at Hal.

AJ Fortay VERSUS [5] Poke
{GHC
Championship Tournament, First Round}
"Crawling" by Linkin Park hits, as AJ Fortay walks through the tunnel. He gets a mixed reaction as he makes the trip down the long catwalk. If you aren't over, this long walk will prove it, as the fans have a lot of time to stop cheering or booing you as you walk. AJ finally makes it into the ring when "Smooth Criminal" by Alien Ant Farm starts up. Poke steps out and the fans are instantly behind him. The death matches and just general aura of him is what's done it. Poke makes his way down the long catwalk, with the response from the crowd not fading. Poke steps into the squared circle, as Yugi Kazomin walks to the center of the ring.
Yugi Kazomin: Introducing first.... AJ FOOORTAY!!!
AJ gets another mixed response for the crowd.
Yugi Kazomin: And his opponent... POOOOKE!!
The fans give him a big response, as Yugi exits the ring and Crazy Lou calls for the bell. Poke and AJ start to circle each other, then lock up. AJ gets a quick side headlock. Poke pushes AJ off and to the ropes, but AJ knocks him down with a shoulder block. AJ runs to the ropes, and gets back dropped by Poke. AJ gets back to his feet quickly, and ducks a Poke lariat. Poke turns around and is hit with a spinning heel kick. Poke rolls to the outside, allowing AJ to slingshot himself over the ropes and onto Poke to pop the crowd.
Randy Boggs: That's a nice move by AJ.
King Royce: Poke has been wrestling death matches, so I don't think he's ready for an old fashioned wrestling match.
Just as King mentions that, Poke grabs a steel chair. AJ is back in the ring and Poke tosses the chair into the ring. Poke gets himself another chair and slides into the ring with it. He yells at AJ to pick up the other chair, while Crazy Lou tells them not too, otherwise they'll be disqualified. AJ is hesitant, but finally picks up after much badgering from Poke. Poke and AJ circle each other with the steel chairs, then take a swing at each other. The chairs clash together, and it rattles AJ's hands, causing him to drop his chair. Poke tries to take advantage, but he can't follow through with his chair shot as AJ kicks him in the stomach. AJ picks up his chair and swings at Poke. Poke swings with his and they connect with each other's skulls. Both men stagger then fall as Lou calls for the bell.
Yugi Kazomin: The following contest has been declared a Double Disqualification!
That doesn't go over too well with the crowd as Crazy Lou checks on both men.
Randy Boggs: Both of these men had huge opportunities in front of them, and had great shots at winning, but through it all away.
King Royce: Fools. This could be their only shot at winning the GHC Championship. They should have thought about this before acting.
Randy Boggs: That means the winner of the Ricky Green/Frostie match will advance into the third round automatically.
King Royce: And will face the winner of the paYne/Hal Stanton match.
- UNEXPECTED CONFRONTATION -
The scene opens on Max's office. Max is reading over some papers. All of a sudden the door swings open. A man wearing a Suit and tie, and the whole get-up walks in. Those who know, recognize him as Woden, head of TGI. Max jumps up.
Woden: MAX! How dare you treat my fellas with disrespect. You didn't make it official til Wednsday it was for the title? What are you insane? Are you incompetitent.
Max Danger: Slow down, Woden. I fixed it.
Woden: My ass. You shamed their name by saying it will be just to start the Tag Rally! I've gave you millions of dollars to support gO. You better wise up Max, or I swear you'll pay, the True Godds Way! You got it!
Max Danger: I don't like your tone.
Woden: Well I'm not liking your face to much! Just watch your step, or you'll be just like everyone else whose gone up against TGI, a loser!
Woden storms out of the room, as max stands by in disbelief.

"The Elite Killa" Ricky Green VERSUS [6] Frostie
{GHC
Championship Tournament, First Round}
"Getcha Groove On" plays and out walks Ricky Green. He walks into the ring and says something to the referee and then stretches on the ropes. "Fat Lip" plays and out walks Frostie with a look of anger in his face. He runs into the ring and stares at Ricky Green with cold eyes.
Yugi Kazomin: Introducing first... Ricky Greeeeeeeen!
Ricky Green steps forward and the crowd gives him a nice round of applause.
Yugi Kazomin: Introducing second... Frostieeeeeeee!
Frostie just keeps his eyes on Ricky Green the whole time. The crowd really doesn't know how to react towards him. The referee calls for the bell and we're underway. Ricky Green and Frostie lock up. Frostie pushes off and Green goes for a trip but Frostie jumps it. Frostie with a few punches but Ricky Green dodges them all. Green with an arm drag but Frostie reverses it. Green flips himself back to his feet and the two stare at each other. The audience claps.
Randy Boggs: These two look poised to be the winner of this match. Anyone could win this!
King Royce: I could careless about these two. Why don't they have valets? Cheap bastards.
The two combatants circle each other and then lock up once again. Frostie gets the headlock and an elbow to the back, sending Green to the mat. Frostie goes for the quick Frost-Byte but Green rolls out of the way and out of the ring. Green claps on the outside, trying to get the crowd into it but Frostie won't have any of this. He runs out at Green who then runs back into the ring. Frostie back into the ring, Green back out. Frostie is starting to get frustrated and begins to stamp on the mat and yell at the referee.
Randy Boggs: Green is trying to psychologically win this match by pissing off Frostie, King.
King Royce: Frostie is never psychologically sound, Randy.
The referee ushers Green back into the ring. As he rolls back into the ring he is met with a flurry of right and left punches by Frostie. The referee pulls Frostie off and threatens DQ. Green takes down Frostie with a drop toe hold and puts Frostie in a Maple Leaf submission. Frostie quickly reaches for the ropes and Green lets go. They lock up again and Frostie Irish whips Green to the ropes but pulls him down violently by the hair. Green rolls around on the mat holding his head as the referee threatens DQ again. Frostie pays no attention and picks up Green. Rake of the eyes by Frostie and then he whips Green to the ropes once again. Green comes back and ducks Frostie's big boot, off the ropes again and lands a cross body block on Frostie. Cover... 1...2...KICKOUT! Green puts on a hammer lock but quickly releases as Frostie pokes him in the eyes. Green walks over to the corner to rub his eyes but that's a bad move because Frostie gets back up and starts pounding his head off the turn buckle. Then Frostie Irish whips Green to the other side and runs into him with full speed. Green goes down in the corner and Frostie starts to pick him apart with kicks to the midsection and then a boot to the face. The referee pulls Frostie away as Green gets back to his feet. They lock up once again. This time Green gets a nice northern lights suplex in there. 1...2...THR... KICKOUT!!!
Randy Boggs: Almost had him.
Frostie gets up and gets kicked in the midsection. He doubles over and Green goes for a snap mare into a sleeper hold. The referee checks Frostie and raises his arm. It falls. It falls again. The third time it stays up! Frostie fights back with a few elbows and Green lets go. Frostie picks up Green over his head and starts to bench press him showing his strength. The crowd cheers. Then Frostie throws him up in the air and Green lands on the mat hard. Frostie picks up Green again and goes for a British Fall but Green flips out of it and grabs Frostie from behind and does a belly to belly suplex. Then another one. And another! Frostie is now spent and so is Green.
Randy Boggs: What a veteran move by the old GFWA superstar!
King Royce: He was never a GFWA superstar you idiot. Get your facts straight.
The referee counts to 6 and both wrestlers wobble to their feet. Green attempts to throw Frostie to the ropes and Frostie reverses it into a lariat... no a double lariat! Both men are down again. 1...2...3...4...5...6...Frostie gets up... 7...8...Green gets up. Green runs at Frostie with all his strength but Frostie kicks him in the midsection and hits a power bomb! Picks Green up and does another power bomb! Then another! Cover.... 1...2...2.97564!!!
Randy Boggs: (overly excited) Green kicked out of THREE power bombs! Oh my God!
King Royce: Why don't you just marry him and have children you flamer.
Frostie gets up and yells at the referee for a slow count. Green on the other hand is getting up and taking in deep breathes. Frostie is still in denial and pushes the referee down. Green comes to the referee's aid and drop kicks Frostie in the back of the head, which sends him to the outside. Green checks on the referee who seems to be okay. Green then launches himself over the top rope and hits and plancha on Frostie. Green is running on adrenaline now and rolls Frostie back into the ring. Green goes to the top rope again and hits a leg drop to the throat of Frostie on the way back in. Green then does the Drive By [shooting star press] on Frostie for the win. The referee counts fast... 1..2.3!!!
King Royce: The referee just cheated, Frostie!
Randy Boggs: You would too if he pushed you around.
King Royce: I'm not complaining, I just think it's cool that he actually did. He has to set an example out there, that he won't be pushed around.
Yugi Kazomin: And the winner of the match is... Ricky Greeeeeen!!!
The crowd cheers for Green as Frostie exits the ring angered.
- COMMUNICATION PROBLEMS -
Backstage Max Danger is thumbing through some papers, as Jessica combs her hair. Suddenly there's a knock on the door. Max looks up and sees that Jessica isn't going to answer the door, and gets up. He walks over to the door.
Max Danger: Who is it?
No answer. Just two more knocks.
Max Danger: I said, who is it!?
Still no verbal answer, only more knocking.
Max Danger: Damn it!
Max furiously pulls open the door and is about to hit the person on the other side until he sees who it is. The man towers over Max, and dwarfs him with his large arms and shoulders. The man faces Max with a smile on his innocent face. Max smiles back, then hugs the man. Max allows him in, as Jessica stands up.
Max Danger: He's here!
Jessica gives the man a hug as well, and begins to do something with her hands. The man does the same as we fade out.

paYne VERSUS [7] "Classy" Hal Stanton
{GHC
Championship Tournament, First Round}
"Pain" by Tupac plays over the PA system. The crowd seems pretty pumped up for this first round match up. PaYne walks out in black trunks with "paYne" written on the back and his one hair coming down in the front, with a toothpick hanging out of his mouth. He throws it at the camera and looks at the packed crowd for this long sought after PPV. He finally gets down to the ring and waits for Hal Stanton. "Flight of the Bumblebee" by Krosikov now begins to play and the crowd waits anxiously for "Classy" Hal Stanton to come out. "Classy" Hal Stanton emerges in his usual classy attire.
Yugi Kazomin: Introducing first.... PAAAAAYNE!!
paYne gets a huge response, VERY huge response.
Yugi Kazomin: And his opponent... HAL STAAAANTON!!!!
The referee calls for the bell. Both of these men look like they are ready for this first round match. PaYne whips Hal into the ropes and bounces back with a raised knee, knocking Hal to the mat. But Stanton is pretty quick to get up. They both tie up and Hal is this time on the offensive getting paYne in a wrenching headlock. PaYne pushes Hal off though and slips out. I don't think paYne wants to make this match too technical. He begins to hammer The Classy One with a variety of punches to the face. Hal is quick to come back with a rake to the eyes and a quick DDT. Hal picks paYne up by his hair and runs him into the corner and follows him up with a clothesline. The staggering paYne is then greeted with a dropkick courteousy of Stanton taking him off of his feet. Hal goes for the figure four but is kicked in the face with paYne's boot. PaYne is far from ready to give up on this one.
Randy Boggs: paYne so totally reeks of amazingness!
King Royce: So you're what, twelve years old?
PaYne rolls up for the count… 1… Kickout! This one is far from over. But I think both men are going to be trying to go for quick wins… knowing they have more matches ahead of them tonight. Hal battles back on his feet and picks paYne up…a perfectly executed backbreaker. Hal picks paYne up again but is greeted with a low blow. paYne picks up Hal and holds him momentarily in his arms. He hits a fallaway slam! But instead of going for the pin, paYne slides outside of the ring. I wonder why he would do that with the opportunity? He grabs a chair and comes into the ring. The referee is all over him and tells him to put the chair down. I think paYne would like this match to turn into a hardcore match! "Classy" is up though and interrupts the ref and paYne's argument with a belly to back suplex on the unsuspecting paYne. The chair drops to the floor of the mat and the ref scoots it away. Hal is on the offensive this time and paYne looks pretty dazed for just being dropped on his head. Hal grabs his legs and ties him up in a figure four leglock.
King Royce: PAYNE IS DEFINITELY FEELING SOME PAIN NOW!
Randy Boggs: Who's twelve now?
paYne is able to get over to the ropes and the referee makes Hal break the hold. Hal whips paYne into one of the corners and bangs his head on the turnbuckle numerous times. Hal then whips paYne into the opposite turnbuckle…but the referee gets in the way and gets knocked out!
Randy Boggs: THE MATCH IS NOW WITHOUT A REF!
King Royce: That's no reason to get so excited.
Hal goes to try to see if the referee is okay…but then goes back fighting the rising paYne. After a few punches Hal goes top rope but paYne is there to greet him by bouncing off the ropes and Hal falls right onto his groin. Classy is definitely in some pain now. paYne looks once more at the knocked down official and picks up the steel chair and whacks Hal in the head with it! paYne has a smile on his face now! He cracks it over Hal's head…Hal staggers…He swings again but The Classy One ducks and kicks the chair into paYne's head.
Randy Boggs: Ouch!
King Royce: Why didn't you say that when paYne cracked Hal's head in with the chair?
Both men are going punch for punch for punch now...PaYne bounces Hal off of the ropes and lifts him over his shoulders with a backbody drop over the top rope! Hal lands right on the hood of his limousine crushing it like a tin can. PaYne smiles at the fallen Hal who lays in agony. After a little while of working the crowd full of boos, paYne climbs up on the top rope and raises his arms pumping up the crowd. He jumps out for a splash but Hal rolls over and paYne hits mostly windshield. His face is bleeding. The fans are going crazy for how extreme this first round match is going. I can't believe they are doing this…who is worse off…the man who is going to get beaten and lose or the man who is going to have to keep fighting tonight in order to be champion! Both Hal and paYne are rising to their feet. They both begin to walk on top of the limousine and exchange fists. paYne ties up with Stanton and rams several knees into his abdomen. He sets him up right in front of the glass moon roof, which is closed, with his head between his legs. He holds his arms out to the side! PAYNE WANTS TO USE THE CRUCIFIXION! He tries to lift Hal but Hal blocks him! PaYne tries again but Hal slips out. Class Dismissed[diamond cutter], but paYne pushes him to the ropes. Kick to the stomach, CRUCIFIXION!!!! The ref crawls over. 1..... 2.... 3!!!
Randy Boggs: paYne wins this one!
King Royce: Like there was any doubt.
Yugi Kazomin: The winner of this match.... PAAAAYNE!!
paYne celebrates his victory, as do the fans.
- FEELING LEFT OUT -
In a dimly lit hallway, in the far corner, sobbing is heard. Digusting and unmanly sobbing. The cameras get closer and closer and we see a grown man crying. His face is hidden in the palm of his hands, but it's clear who it is. Sitting there, crying like a little baby, is... Jose' Jose'. Jose' Jose' continues to cry, without noticing the camera right in front of him.
Down the hall, The Butcher stops. He looks around, trying to find the source of the god-awful crying. He decifers that it's at the end of the hall and starts to make his way down said hall. He then sees someone in the corner, and here's the disgusting sobbing. He slowly makes his way over to Jose' Jose', although he doesn't know it's Jose' Jose'. He gets right in front of the man, then recognizes him. The Butcher touches him on the shoulder, causing Jose' Jose' to look up. He quickly tries to wipe the tears from his eyes.
The Butcher: What's wrong, Jose' Jose'?
Jose' Jose' says something in Spanish, which goes over The Butcher's head. The Butcher then turns to the cameraman, who is also Hispanic, and translates for The Butcher.
Cameraman: He says he feels left out of tonight's event. That's why he's crying.
The Butcher: But why does he feel left out?
Cameraman: He says he should be in the GHC Championship Tournament, since he defeat you.
The Butcher: That never happened.
Cameraman: Right, well Jose' Jose' here doesn't see it that way.
The Butcher: Well, Jose' Jose', I'm sorry that you aren't apart of the tournament tonight, but thems the breaks. I tell ya what. Next week, you can have the first title shot. Whomever wins tonight, you face next week on global TV.
Jose' Jose' looks up, and smiles. He starts to get all giddy and jumps up off the table. He wipes all the tears of sorrow from his eyes, and hugs The Butcher. A kiss on the lips follows, and The Butcher pushes Jose' Jose' off.
The Butcher: That's too much, Jose' Jose'. Good luck next week.
The Butcher walks off, looking like he's about to gag, as Jose' Jose' jumps around for joy in the background.

I mean it's funny that as you stand there all alone I kan remember long ago when you were a proud member of Misfits misfits. I kan remember when you and your crew used to run roughshod. I kan remember when you and yours had the nerve to single me out. It's funny because as one of the only members of Misfits misfits that managed to get away without harm, you just had to come back and draw my name first. It's funny because tonight I put you out of action, and erase every last memory of the deuce... simply... because... I KAN!

The lights go out as Rage Against The Machine's "Born of a Broken Man" starts to play quietly. Suddenly there's a loud explosion, and the music picks up its pace. The lights come back up as the President, Max Danger, makes his way out. The boos are instant, but some cheer due to his past in the country. Max heads to the ring with a smile on his face. He steps into the squared circle and grabs himself a microphone.
Max Danger: First off, congrat to paYne and Jolly Potter for advancing into the finals for the GHC Championship. And a big congrats to The Manhattan Project... for being the shortest reigning champions of all-time!
The crowd is confused by this, as much they should be.
Max Danger: Sure they won the GHC Tag Team Titles tonight, but against Judicial Command, a team they've manhandled time after time. Tonight was no different. But they no longer work for us. But we aren't here to talk about JC, we're here because of The Manhattan Project. So you guys think you can get True Godds, Inc. to push people around? They have no power here. Oh sure they've donated money to the company, but we didn't ask for it. I will not be pushed around, and that's why I've come to take the titles off of The Manhattan Project, because honestly, they aren't worthy of the gold. So...
Just then "Lay Low" hits and out walks Bronx and Brooklyn. They are cheered louder than anyone tonight. They have the titles around their waists and mics in their hands.
Bronx: The only way you're going to get these titles off our waists is if we are beaten 1-2-3 in the center of that ring! But with us being the only tag team left competing here, it seems as if you have no one who can do that.
Brooklyn: That is of course, if you decide to do it yourself. But seeing as NO ONE likes you around here, then I don't see that happening.
Max Danger: Well, it just so happens that I have someone here tonight that WILL take those titles away from you. So get in this ring and I'll bring out your opponents.
Bronx and Brooklyn look at each other and just shrug their shoulders. They head towards the ring when someone comes running down the catwalk. It's the man from earlier in Max's office. The large, innocent looking guy. He clotheslines both men from behind, as Max rips off his suit top and his pants revealing white tights, with gold lettering, and a gold elbow pad on his right elbow. He joins the other man on the catwalk and toss the champs into the ring. He signals for a ref when Tyler Hendrix comes running out.
Randy Boggs: What the fuck is this!? Tyler Hendrix is back!?
King Royce: YEEES!!! NVC HAS REUNITED HERE IN THE gO!!!!!! BRADLEY DUNCAN AND MAX DANGER ARE BACK TOGETHER!!!

paYne grabs Potter to the center of the ring and locks on the figure four!!! Potter screams in pain, but isn't going to give up. He won't ever give up. paYne has it locked on nice and tight, and Potter can't move anywhere. He won't be able to make the ropes, so just like before, he's going to have to reverse the hold.

Shoulder tackle by paYne knocks Potter to the mat. paYne goes to the ropes and steps over Potter.

Potter flies at him with a cross body, but paYne catches him and hits the fallaway slam! 1... 2.... kick out!!!
