FIRST
HOUR!!!
{The scene opens up in GLWA's owner Robert Letner's office. He
is listening to someone on his phone while rolling his eye's impatiently while
checking his watch - The start of the show was just around the corner. He
looks oddly at a 'Beer Drinking Jake Cage' doll that sits on his desk}
Letner: Listen Cage, I have to get going, the show is about to start. This
issue is non-debatable. You cannot start drinking until the show is over. End
of story.
{Letner shakes his head in disbelief as he hangs up the phone and starts to
leave his office. But for some reason, the door won't open}
Letner: What the hell?
{He tries putting a shoulder into it, but the door doesn't budge. He checks his
watch again, ten seconds before air time. He starts pounding and yelling hoping
someone will hear him before the start of the show}
{The camera pans to the outside of Letner's office where a forklift is parked
against the door. An empty bottle of Jack Daniel's rests next to the driver's
seat}
{Cut to the announcers}
EDGEBROOK: Hello ladies and gentleman, my name is James Edgebrook.
KING: And my name is Richard King.
King: Someone was dumb enough to
park a forklift in front of Letner's
office!
Edgebrook: The owner was scheduled to start the show, but I guess we'll go on
without him - somebody has given us no choice!
{Suddenly the lights fade to black, and blue strobe lights bathe the arena. Then
the melodic riffs of "Orion" by Metallica thunder through the sound system and
the crowd reacts in anticipation, some cheering madly, some booing fiercely as
the strobes dance around chaotically to the rhythmic sounds of Orion}
{Out onto the entryway steps Malice}
{The music seems to have been turned up several decibels upon his appearance and
the crowd responds in kind}
{Malice's hair is stuffed under a cap that reads "BJWC 4-EVER", he is sporting a
T-shirt that reads, "The Union", with the likes of himself, Dan Dehart, Tyler
Lee, and Merlin Reynolds striking an ominous pose. Around his shoulders rest
two championship belts. Upon closer examination it is apparent that they are
the BJWC tag team championship belts}
{After pausing for effect, he makes his way to the ring with a microphone in one
hand and a fresh bottle of Jack Daniels in the other}
King: What the hell is Malice doing? He really needs to get over this BJWC
kick, doesn't he realize that is history?
Edgebrook: Well if you didn't figure it out already, I would guess Malice has
something to do with Letner being locked in his office.
King: Bad move, has been! Bad move!
{Malice climbs into the ring as the lights slowly come back on and the music
fades into silence as the crowd waits in anticipation for what he has to say}
Malice: For the record, I just want to say, that Letner is doing a hell of a job
around here.
(The crowd response is mostly positive)
Malice: He has created a new era for wrestling and the NWA.
(More crowd support)
Malice: With any new era, you must always look back and remember what has come
before. What is the reason you are here. Who, what, and how was the foundation
laid? And the foundation known as the GLWA was laid on the blood, sweat, and
tears of BJWC legends.
(Mixed reaction.)
Malice takes a moment to open his fresh bottle of whiskey and take a small
drink.
(The reaction from the crowd starts to become unfavorable.)
Malice: (Sneering) GLWA this, GLWA that. I'm sick of Letner crediting the GLWA
with everything that was ever accomplished with BJWC blood. We started this
thing way back in 98, way before Robert Letner made his way up north. A lot of
dedicated guy's broke there neck's and back's for something they believed in ...
and now it's all being twisted and molded into something it simply isn't
.....And now we have GLWA presenting WrestleBowl.
{He pauses gazing around the arena with a look of pure disgust on his face}
Malice: WrestleBowl is the heart of everything the BJWC stood for. Legends,
Legacies, Foundations, traditions, and attitudes of eight years of wrestling
scripture ignored and stolen from by a turncoat NWA crony with a deep
pocket-book. Well I stand before you to tell you that I am putting my foot down
right now. The BJWC legacy will longer be forgotten and ignored. As of right
now, you can consider .........the BJWC resurrected.
[The crowd burst into a frenzy as Malice said the words they had longed to hear
for so many years. Malice laid the championship belts out in the ring as the
crowd roared, and he pumped his fist as he continued speaking.]
Malice: This is it right here, right now, the rebirth of something bigger than
the GLWA, Robert Letner, and Team NWA .... Something that has -
{And just then 'Back to School' by the Deftones began to pour over the airwaves
sending the crowd into a frenzy. The curtains in the entrance way rustled and
suddenly Cobb Jones backpedaled into view, his hands buried in the chest of a
charging Darren Anthony}
Edgebrook: Wha....What's going on? Here comes another one of the BJWC alumni!
Could this be a reunion?
King: Darren doesn't look like he's happy to see Malice out here, just as I'm
sure Robert Letner isn't!
Edgebrook: Well, he really doesn't have a choice right now!
{Jones finally gives in stepping aside, but yelling while he followed Darren who
stalked to the ring. Darren equipped himself with a mic before rolling into the
ring, Jones in toe jabbing at him the entire way}
Darren: [Low] What the hell do you think you're doing? Why are you digging up
the past? Why are you dragging out all of the demons? Why here, why now?
[The crowd popped as Malice stepped forward.]
Malice: .....because I can't take it anymore, Darren. Letner is ripping the
heart out of this place, and eight years ago a group of guys swore they'd never
let that happen. You know what I'm talking about Dee, you were there.
[Darren snapped back.]
Darren: Yeah, I was there, I remember - I think about it every f(censor)king
day! I've stood across the ring from you, and on the same side. I held the same
titles you did, and I miss it just as much as you do.
[Malice jumped.]
Malice: So join me, Darren! [Huge pop] ....if you understand where I'm coming
from, if you really feel me.
Darren: Join you? Don't you get it? The BJWC is dead and gone, even as much as I
don't want to say it. This isn't like nursing a sick patient back to heath,
Malice. The truth of the matter is that you can't revive a corpse.
[Darren turns to leave and Cobb looks thrilled, but Malice begins to plead.]
Malice: What about everything we put into this? What about Billy Jay? What about
Nick, Brandon, and Dante?! What about your promise?
[Malice reaches out spinning Darren around by his shoulder to a huge crowd pop,
also getting the attention of Jones.]
Malice: Don't let the BJWC fade away forever, Darren. What about you, Jones,
don't you have any sense of tradition?
[Jones leaned into the mic, his voice monotone.]
Jones: I'm telling you just like I told him [pointing at Dee] This isn't my
fight.
[Malice huffs, scooping the tag team titles from the mat, shoving them into the
chest of Darren.]
Malice: This is it, Dee. This is all that's left of the BJWC, take it! The BJWC
Tag Team Championships, you and Jones can help me turn these into something more
... something that everyone here tonight wants!
[The fans roar as Darren clutches the gold against his chest, slowly gazing down
at the bright gold plate wearing the long forgotten seal of the BJWC. Darren
smiled, looking up at Malice, and then back at Jones - he was speechless.]
Malice: Think about it Darren ..... just think.
Edgebrook: OH MY GOD! This could be the biggest thing to happen in a GLWA ring
ever - the recreation of the BJWC!
King: Don't do it Anthony, don't sign your own death certificate ..... wait ....
LETNER IS BREAKING OUT! I'm getting the reports right now!
[Suddenly, the GLWA tron flashed backstage as Team NWA move the forklift form in
front of the door, and enraged Robert Letner rampages out of the office waving
his troops to follow him.]
King: YES! They're coming this way to put an end to all of this nonsense!
[Darren lifted his mic, almost ready to answer.]
Edgebrook: TEAM NWA! TEAM NWA! They're hitting the ring like a ton of bricks!
King: What? Letner is holding them back ... NO! Let 'em tear those guys limb
from limb!
[Letner struggled to hold Team NWA back as Cage and Stallion shoot grim looks
toward Malice, who proudly held his ground. Jones and Anthony were caught in the
middle of it all. Letner called for a mic and received it, sweat pouring from
his brow, his expression that of displeasure.]
Letner: God dammit Malice .... I thought I ended this when I bought that damn
company, I thought I buried everything, but then here you come ...... digging
.... and digging. So I'm going to let you dig ..... and I'm going to let Darren
make a choice.
[Letner turned to Darren, who's eye's sifted back and forth between Letner and
the title.]
Letner: We've fought each other Darren, and we've fought side by side .... so
lets do it again. JOIN ME! [Fans boo] Forget this old, beat up, rusted out drunk
.... forget the BJWC, and join Team NWA. You want title shots? I can give that
to you Dee .... all you've got to do is make the right choice....
[Darren toiled, torn between his legacy and a new beginning, and Team NWA
waiting in the wings for his answer. Cobb Jones leaned to Anthony obviously
nervous, whispering into his ear. And as Darren raised the mic again something
began to happen in the crowd.....]
Edgebrook: There seems to be some kind of commotion in the crowd and --
someone's jumped the guardrail and is sliding into the ring!
King: It better not be some idiotic fan, or Letner's going to let Team NWA have
a field day on him!
[The man already easily hopped the barrier and slid into the ring, avoiding all
notice until he was already on his feet and between the two groups on either
side of the ring. The man slowly surveys the men to his left, then to his
right. He reaches up with his right hand, brushing his shaggy black hair away
from the lenses of his mirrored sunglasses. Adorned in a pair of black cargo
pants and a short-sleeved blue silk shirt, his physique looks very familiar to
many fans throughout the arena -- especially BJWC and OWC fans. The
ever-present smirk is etched on his face.]
[The crowd POPS!!]
Edgebrook: OH MY GOD! It really is him! THE BJWC LEGEND TYLER LEE HAS
RETURNED!!
[Tyler Lee -- "The Icon" -- seems to approve of the shocked faces he spies from
Team NWA's directions, especially the priceless expression of one Robert
Letner. Slowly, Lee strides over to Darren Anthony, letting his smirk change
into a smile. Anthony, Malice, and Jones, however, looks almost as surprised as
the men on the opposite side of the ring.]
[Lee very cautiously takes the mic from Anthony, showing respect and no sign of
hostility. He raises the mic to his lips.]
Lee: [Smiling] Man, it feels GREAT to be back in a ring!
[The crowd ERUPTS!!]
[At the reaction, Tyler turns away from the men in the ring and looks out at the
crowd, soaking up the cheers. As he does so, an "I-CON! I-CON! I-CON!" chant
breaks out, only making his smile grow. When they quite down enough, he begins
again.]
Lee: Now, it's been a while, but I hope I can show everyone that I haven't
missed a beat.
[He turns in Anthony's direction.]
Lee: And, Malice -- no disrespect to you or anything -- but I thought I'd go
ahead and throw my two cents in about the BJWC. After all, other than Dan
Dehart and Billy-by-God-Jay himself, I don't think there's anyone else around
who can qualify themselves as more of an expert than me!
[Another crowd POP!]
Lee: I was one of the originals! I've been around since the very first days of
the BJWC! I've seen people come and go! I know about the enigma that was
Outlander! [POP!] I knew and hated the Four Corners of Greatness -- the ORIGINAL
one -- as much as anyone else, especially that bastard Ness Manson!
[Another pop at the mention of Lee's first BJWC nemesis!]
Lee: Steve Daye, "The Extreme Machine" Cyrus, Steven Drysdale, Brian Hart, all
of them. I was in The Union, The Coalition, and -- yes -- The LAW!
[Another POP from old school BJWC fans!]
Lee: I was the first man Dan Dehart brought into the BJWC. And I sure as hell
won just about every single belt that that place EVER had to offer!
[The crowd POPS!]
Lee: Now, you want to talk about the legacy that place has? Well, aside from all
of the names I just threw out there -- which I think is enough -- how about a
man who guys by the name of... Kurt Swagger? [POP!] Ken Jansen?! [POP!!] And, oh
yeah, Trent Shanahan?! [POP!!] They all started their NWA careers in the BJWC.
[By now, Darren Anthony has let a small smile creep onto his face, letting all
of the good old memories wash over him. Malice stands behind him, nodding his
head in approval. Lee walks over to Anthony, reaching up with his free hand and
removing his sunglasses. He gazes, unblinking, into Anthony's eyes.]
Lee: Now, you and me, we've been through a lot. We have some history, and it
hasn't always been from the same side of the ring.
[He pauses, Darren looking back at him, nodding. Anthony's expression shows that
he's open to what Lee's saying, but his guard is still up, just in case.]
Lee: But I know that you share the same love that I do. I know that you know
what I do. In its prime, the BJWC was one of the best companies in this
industry EVER!
[Another BIG POP!]
[Darren Anthony cracks a grin and nods.]
Lee: The place has a legacy that should be CELEBRATED, not just swept under the
rug to make way for a new era. We worked too hard and shed too much blood to let
that happen! And, personally, Darren, I'm with Malice. I think it's about
time... to bring it BACK!
[A HUGE ERUPTION OF CHEERS!]
[The crowd starts a "BJWC! BJWC! BJWC!" chant!]
[Tyler Lee smiles at Anthony, then raises his arms up while looking at the
crowd, as if to say "just listen to them".]
Lee: Now, all I want to know, Darren... is do you want to let this place just
forget everything that made this industry so great? Or do you want to MAKE them
remember?
[With that, Lee reaches out with his free hand, waiting for Anthony to take it
and accept his offer. The crowd cheers in anticipation.]
Edgebrook: The former BJWC and NWA champion Tyler Lee is offering Darren Anthony
and Cobb Jones an alliance!
King: Are you kidding me? Anthony's gonna choose this has-been and a drunk over
the GLWA President and Team NWA? Wake up!
[The crowd goes almost completely silent in anticipation. Anthony looks into
Lee's eyes, then to his partner, as if looking for a sign of some kind; he finds
nothing. Slowly, he turns his attention back to Tyler Lee.]
[And smiles.]
[He reaches out, firmly grasping Lee's hand and shaking it.]
[THE CROWD ERUPTS!!]
King: NOOO!!
Edgebrook: And the GLWA president is BESIDE himself!
Letner: How DARE you! You think you can just waltz back in here and do this,
Lee, and expect no consequences?! You're going to regret this -- I SWEAR IT!
[BOOOOOOOOOOO!!]
Letner: The BJWC is dead and gone, and you're about to learn that the hard way!
I'm going to bury all four of you with the legacy that you cherish so much --
GET THEM!
[Letner drops the mic and Jason Stallion, Jake Cage, Ace Slaughter, and Yoshi
Kawazughi all jump on the offensive, attacking the four men standing across from
them. The crowd rains down on them with a LOUD barrage of boos!]
Edgebrook: Team NWA is trying to crush the recreation of the BJWC before it even
begins!
King: YES! YES! Make them pay!
[Just when it looks like Team NWA is about to get the upper hand, the BJWC
alumni start to rally. Anthony blocks a right hand from Cage, firing back with
one of his own. He blocks another, connecting with one of his own! Cage is
staggering, and Anthony hits him with a HUGE lariat, knocking him up and over
the top rope to the floor!]
Edgebrook: Anthony fought off one of the members of Team NWA! The odds are even
now -- four-on-four!
King: Letner's guys won't let me down!
[Letner runs at Lee, attempting a Haymaker -- Lee grabs his arm and swings
around him -- HEATWAVE DDT! Letner hits the mat HARD and then rolls out of the
ring! Anthony pulls Stallion away from a double team on Cobb Jones, then throws
him headfirst out of the ring! Yoshi Kawazughi decides to go all out, and
sprints toward Jones! He leaps into a crossbody -- but Jones drops down and
pulls down the top rope! Yoshi goes FLYING over and to the floor!]
Edgebrook: Slaughter's the only one left!
King: He can take 'em! Right? ...Right?!
[Malice, Anthony, Jones, and Lee all circle and surround Slaughter. Ace charges
Malice, only to get caught with a big right hand! He stumbles into a right from
Jones! Then from Anthony! And finally one from Lee! He stumbles back towards
Malice, who hits him with a HIGH backbody drop over the top rope!]
Edgebrook: I can't believe it, I simply can't believe it! The Icon has returned
on Primetime, and alongside Malice, Darren Anthony, and Cobb Jones they just
wiped out Team NWA! They have cleared the entire ring!
King: NO!
[Letner and Company regrouped at the top of the entrance way licking there
wounds. Letner grabbed a mic from a tech obviously furious.]
Letner: You've crossed the line! You've crossed the goddamned line this time,
all of you! That is my ring, this is my show, and those are my titles! You think
this is over!
[In the ring the four men stood side by side, chest pumping, broad smiles
stretched across their faces. Malice clutched a mic stepping forward first.]
Malice: Over? Don't you get it, Letner? We didn't come out here for one last
hoorah, boys. We're not preparing for our last stand, either. We're back, The
BJWC is back, and there's nothing you can do about it!
[The crowd POPS as Malice turns and tosses the mic to Tyler Lee, who deftly
catches it. He raises it once again to his lips.]
Lee: We won't forget our history -- where we come from! The legacy of the BJWC
will never die, not on MY watch! [POP!] A new legacy is coming for the BJWC,
though, and it's coming from the men standing in this ring. And it starts...
RIGHT NOW!
[The fans roar as The Icon passes the mic over to Darren Anthony and Cobb Jones,
who now have the BJWC Tag Team titles draped over there shoulders.]
Darren:.... and you say these titles are yours, Rob? Well, possession is nine
tenths of the law ... so if you want 'em, come and get 'em.
[Darren and Cobb hoist there new titles high into the air and Malice grips the
mic one final time.]
Malice: So I guess you were right, Rob. This isn't over ...... because it's only
just begun.
[The music kicks and the fans roar. The four men each get a turnbuckle and pose
for the crowd as Robert Letner and team NWA storm into the backstage area.]
COMMERCIAL
KING: Impressive debut by Python.
EDGEBROOK: Yeah.
KING: Crow went down quick.
Edgebrook: Okay. I'm being told we have Eric Bruce in the back.
King: Good god, what now?
**We switch and see Eric Bruce sitting in the locker room, it is eerily quiet
for being so early in the show. **
Eric: Tonight, I go into, perhaps the biggest match of my career. I go into
this match as an underdog, but I will walk out of Primetime
tonight, as a contender. I will walk out of Primetime tonight as a superstar.
My star has risen thus far, beating Malice is what's going
to push it to the top. You see Malice, your career is nearly over, whereas
mine... Mine has just begun.
**The scene switches back to ringside. **
Edgebrook: Wow, intense words from Eric Bruce there.
King: Yeah, Yeah, whatever...
The reporter makes quick work of the lazy Lowy.
After a few punches and kicks to the ribs, Cobb hits the Stream of Consciousness
on Alex and rolls him up for the win
{We cut to the back where we see Dmetri Wehrman and Gavin Williams walking down the hall}
WEHRMAN: You ready for your match?
WILLIAMS: As ready as I'll ever be.
VOICE: Not as ready as us!
{Gavin and Dmetri turn around to see Ace and Jake with chairs. Before Gavin or Dmetri can react, both of them receive a chair shot...forcing them to the ground}
{After a couple more shots, Ace and Jake smile}
SLAUGHTER: Now let's see them handle this!
{Ace and Jake walk away, leaving Dmetri and Gavin in the middle of the pavement}
Casket Match
[Cut to the ring.]
Edgebrook: Next up we've got a match order by Robert Letner himself - Nightmare
is being forced to go one on one with Darren Anthony in a Casket Match,
seemingly a prelude to WrestleBowl, where Nightmare will face off against Letner
in this exact match!
King: Well, Nightmare needs to be taught a lesson .... I'm not sure if Darren
was the right man for the job though, what about a member of Team NWA?
[The arena grows quiet as thick smoke starts to gradually fill the stage and
ramp areas.]
[After a few moments the house lights are brought down and all eyes are locked
on the entrance curtain.]
[As the smoke slowly rolls down the ramp towards ringside the heavy guitar
chords strike up over the arena sound system. Immediately the fans rise to their
feet, knowing full and well the identity of the next performer.]
# This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see. #
(Twin spotlights hit the stage as Nightmare bounces out of the back.)
EDGEBROOK: Here comes Nightmare! And look at his eyes! He's all fired up and
he�d better be, because Darren Anthony is a dangerous man if taken lightly!
# I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
(who cares if you don't like it)
if you don't like it!! #
(Nightmare begins to walk to the ring he has a glare in his eye.)
# Go ahead, you know just what you want to do
Don't deny, you feel cause I feel it to
Take a look all around, you'll feel it in the air
From the sky to the ground, I feel it everywhere #
# I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I feel
I'm not afraid to let it out
[who cares if you don�t like it]
I'm not afraid to let it out

To let it out
[who cares if you don't like it]
[who cares if you don't like it]
[who cares if you don't like it]
[who cares if you don't like it] #
(Nightmare walks down to the end of the entrance ramp and slides under the
bottom rope.)
# This is ours, we made it with our everything
Something real, as real as it could ever be
You gave me all of yourself, I gave you all of me
Now set it free from yourself, for everyone to see #
(Nightmare jumps up onto a turnbuckle and throws his arms into the air, basking
in the cheers of the fans.)
# I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
[who cares if you don�t like it]
I'm not afraid to let it out
I'm gonna show you how I'm free
I'm not afraid to let it out
To let it out
To let it out
To let it out
[who cares if you don't like it]
[if you don't like it]
[if you don't like it] #
[Nightmare begins to jump around the ring to loosen himself up.]
[Silence.]
<b>BOOM BOOM BOOM!</b>
#So ruuuuuuuuuuun
[Huge shots of pyro launch into the air on either side of the stage as the
opening lyrics kick in. The guitar riffs send the crowd into a fury as the hard
bass pumps into the arena. All eye's are on the entrance way, but we see nothing
yet.]
#Right...
Right back to school
Check
Look back I sift through all the cliques
Roaming the halls all year making me sick
While everyone's out trying to make the cut
What
When you think you know me
Right
I switch it up
Behind the walls smokin cigarettes and sippin vodka
Hop a fence and catch a cab
Ain't no one can stop us
Give me a break on some other sh...
While you act like it's everything you've gooooooooot!
[The arena lights fade back on in a red tint, and once again the crowd goes into
a frenzy. And there, stepping out onto the runway, Darren Anthony stands in a
crucifix pose, soaking up the crowd's acclaim, wearing cut off jean shorts, a
battered leather jacket, and black boots. He's gripping one half of the BJWC Tag
Team titles on his right hand, having received them during a a BJWC reunion
earlier in the night. On his left stands Orson graves, dressed and pressed in a
suit and tie. Uniform manager clothing.]
#Push back the square
Now that you need her
But you don't
So there you go
Cuz back in school we are the leaders of it all
Announcers:
...ladies and gentlemen... "THE DREEEEEEAMER" DARRRRRREN ANTHOOOOONY!!!
#So stop that... quit... all that...
Quit

and justl ike Keith- I'm flippin it
While you just keep it simple
You just can't go on rockin' the clothes, copying the stance
cuz really it's everything that you're noooooooooot!
[Now smiling, he walks towards the ring, slapping hands with the fans on each
side of the runway. He swings his arm's as if warming up, and slowly removes his
jacket, rolling under the bottom rope. Graves retreats to the far side, jacket
in hand, to watch the action.]
#So... transpose
Or stop your life
It's what you do
Transpose
Or stop your lies
So run

(So why don't you run)
Right

All you are

Push back the square
Now that you need her
But you don't
So there you go
Cuz back in school
We are the leaders of all...
[Darren mounts a turnbuckle throwing his title in the air mouthing the words
'We're back'. The fans roared as Darren jumped down tossing his title to graves,
and pushing himself against the ropes to limber up.]
[Both men stare across the ring at each other as they listen to the instructions
for the match. There attention is called to the side of the ring where the
Casket is set up. Get your opponent in and close the lid, easy enough.]
**DING! DING! DING!**
[The crowd roars big time at the sound of the bell.]
Edgebrook: The crowd definitely up for this one, and given the status of the two
men involved, this is definitely going to be a match to remember.
[Anthony and Nightmare circle slowly, neither man wanting to give his opponent
any sort of opening. They continue to circle for a few moments, before quickly
sliding into an aggressive lockup.]
Edgebrook: And here we go. Both men about equal in size and weight, so it's
going to be interesting to see what the deciding factor in this one turns out to
be.
[Anthony manages to work Nightmare back a few steps, before being quickly spun
around by Nightmare and backed into the turnbuckles. The referee moves in,
calling for the break... and Nightmare holds onto Anthony for a few seconds
before slowly backing away, palms in the air.]
Edgebrook: Nice clean break by Nightmare to start this one, and this crowd
clearly appreciates the sportsmanship.
[The crowd claps as Anthony comes out of the corner, rolling his neck as he and
Nightmare circle again. This time it's Nightmare who manages to work Anthony
back on his heels, but Darren is quickly able to counter, shifting his momentum
and spinning Nightmare into the corner.]
Edgebrook: And now we'll see if Anthony returns the clean break.
King: Slug him. Slug himmm.
[Anthony backs off, palms in the air.]
Edgebrook: And Darren with...
*SMMMMMMACK!!*
["OOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!"]
King: Sweet JESUS!!
Edgebrook: Anthony just LIGHTING Nightmare up with a knife-edge chop, and
Nightmare just CRUMPLES back against the turnbuckles from the impact! Man, I
think Curt Olsen may have some serious competition right now.
[Anthony brings the dazed Nightmare out of the corner, clamping down with a
tight side headlock. Nightmare doesn't stay on the defensive long though,
elbowing his way out of the headlock and shooting Anthony quickly to the ropes.
Darren with a shoulderblock, putting Nightmare on his back before quickly
hitting the ropes again.]
Edgebrook: Nice shoulderblock by Anthony, and now Nightmare rolls onto his front
as Darren comes back... [Crowd cheers] ...and Darren stops dead, dropping down
and going RIGHT back into the side headlock again!
King: [Grumbling] Fricking headlocks.
Edgebrook: Anthony out-maneuvering Nightmare right there, and he brings
Nightmare back to his feet, still in the headlock.
[Once again, Nightmare manages to nail a series of elbows, shoving Anthony off
and to the ropes... only this time Darren is able to keep the headlock applied,
riding Nightmare face-down to the canvas again.]
Edgebrook: Anthony in complete control of the pace of this match in the early
going, and we're talking about a man who has been in this business for the best
part of fifteen years, folks. He definitely knows all the tricks in the book.
King: Yeah, tricks for putting the crowd to SLEEP.
Edgebrook: [Sighs]
[The crowd cheers their approval of Anthony start as Nightmare once again fights
his way up in the headlock. This time he hooks Darren around the waist, picking
him up off the canvas... but Darren cranks SHARPLY on the hold, prompting
Nightmare to lose his grip and drop Anthony back down.]
King: Does he ACTUALLY think he's going to beat Nightmare with a side headlock?
Edgebrook: Obviously not. But with this move, Darren is doing a good job of
wearing down the neck of Nightmare for his variety of neck-based finishers.
Plus, I think it's safe to say that he's trying to send a message to Nightmare
with this slow-paced, dominant start.
[Anthony still in the headlock, but again Nightmare is able to pick him off the
canvas. However, Darren is able to crank on the hold again, breaking Nightmare's
grip. Nightmare clearly getting a little frustrated with Anthony's determination
to keep the headlock applied, and gives the pickup one last try...]
Edgebrook: ...and this time Anthony is able to ROLL backwards off the shoulders
of Nightmare, landing on his feet... [Crowd cheers] ...and slapping the headlock
STRAIGHT back on! Darren Anthony just with a CLINIC right here, and...
*BOOM!!*
[Crowd cheers.]
Edgebrook: ...and Nightmare SNAPS Anthony over with a HARD belly to back suplex!!
I think Nightmare just had enough of Darren Anthony's solid start, and he damn
sure hit all of that one right there.
[Nightmare gets back to his feet, immediately laying the boots to the prone
Anthony. The crowd seems split on who to get behind, so half are cheering and
half are booing as 'Mare continues to unload on the Dreamer. Nightmare finally
breaks off his attack, dragging Darren back to his feet... and sending him
reeling backwards into the turnbuckles with a stiff European Uppercut!]
Edgebrook: Nightmare turning things around right here after his somewhat
ineffective start, and he follows Anthony into the corner... [Mixed reaction]
...and unloads another HARD European Uppercut to the jaw of his opponent!
King: See, I'm torn in this one. One on hand, Darren Anthony IS pretty damn
cool, but on the other, he's also irritatingly smug � and there BOTH enemies of
Letner!!
[Nightmare grabs Anthony by the arm, rocketing him into the opposite corner...
and DRILLING him with a running lariat to follow! Nightmare backs up, allowing
Anthony to stumble out of the corner... before hooking him up for an EXPLODER
SUPLEX!!]
Edgebrook: Nightmare trying to hook up the suplex... [Crowd reacts] ...but
Anthony able to elbow his way out, breaking his grip! Anthony wanting NO part of
that move, and he hits the ropes, looking for a running lariat...
*BOOM!!!*
[Crowd POPS.]
Edgebrook: ...and runs RIGHT into a jumping Dropkick on the rebound!! Nightmare
nailing that BEAUTIFULLY right there, and he's nodding to the crowd as he gets
up. Nightmare keeping the pressure on though, bringing the Dreamer back to his
feet and clamping on with a TIGHT front facelock.
[The crowd, still buzzing from the suplex by Nightmare, continue to cheer as
Nightmare hooks Anthony up, taking him over cleanly with a well-executed
vertical suplex!]
Edgebrook: Nightmare firmly in control right here, and he holds on with the
suplex, dragging Anthony back to his feet...
*BOOM!!*
[Another pop.]
Edgebrook: ...and switches into a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Nightmare releases the
bridge and gets back to his feet with lightening speed! Nightmare with a nice
combination of moves right there, and he has shown us some well-executed
suplexes in this offensive flurry.
King: Yeah, he's definitely growing on me.
[Nightmare brings Anthony back to his feet, tagging him with a series of right
hands before shooting him to the ropes.]
Edgebrook: ...no, REVERSAL by Anthony... and he short-arms Nightmare into a
SOLID knee to the gut! Anthony hitting the ropes again...
[Crowd reacts BIGTIME.]
Edgebrook: ...HEART ATTACK!!!! ANTHONY WITH...
["OOOHHHHH!"]
Edgebrook: ...NO!! Nightmare shrugging Anthony off on the modified bulldog
attempt, and Darren lands HARD on the canvas! Nightmare measuring him as he
stumbles back up... and a lariat... [Crowd murmurs] ...NO! Anthony ducking the
attempt, hopping back as Nightmare spins around...
*SMMMMMMMACK!!*
[Crowd pops.]
Edgebrook: ...HUCKLEBERRY SUPERKICK! Shades of Kurt Swagger, shades of Kurt
Swagger!! Anthony hitting the big move out of nowhere, and these guys are going
to the big moves EARLY in this one. I don't think either man wants a long,
drawn-out contest in their match this week � neither probably wanted the match
to begin with.
King: And Darren is pulling 'Mare up for more!
[Anthony backing Nightmare into the ropes... and he just TEARS into his chest
with a blistering knife-edge chop! Nightmare grimacing in pain... and Darren
lays in another chop! And another! And another! And ANOTHER!!]
King: Jesus CHRIST!
Edgebrook: Anthony just UNLOADING on Nightmare right here, and Nightmare looks
to be in a bad, BAD way after those chops, folks!
[Anthony finally backs off, allowing Nightmare to stumble out of the corner,
clutching at his chest... and walking into a HARD scoop slam from Anthony.]
Edgebrook: Darren planting Nightmare right there... [Crowd starts to King]
...and now he's headed upstairs!
[The crowd continues to King loudly as Anthony scales the turnbuckles. Nightmare
is clearly still dazed from the superkick and the chops, and lays prone as the
former BJWC World Champion sets himself, raising his arms in the air.]
Edgebrook: Anthony set to launch, and...
*BOOM!!*
[BIGTIME pop!]
Edgebrook: ...and a FLYING ELBOWDROP finds the mark!! Anthony just DRIVING his
elbow into the chest of Nightmare, and he rolls over and hooks the leg for the
cover - Wait! He can't win by pin fall, Darren doesn't seem to know where he is.
King: Obviously not!
[Darren gets to his feet pulling Nightmare up with him, and whipping him into
the ropes with force.]
Edgebrook: Dee with the whip, but Nightmare holds on ... and here comes Darren
with a Lariot! NO! Nightmare with a boot to the gut stopping Darren cold, who
was trying to get him near that Casket to end it all.
King: I guess - But even Nightmare is still down.
[Anthony is slow to rise, taking a moment to compose himself as the effect of
the earlier suplexes hits him again. He shakes it off quickly however, dragging
Nightmare back to his feet.]
Edgebrook: Anthony grabbing Nightmare by the head, trying to... [LOUD Kinging]
...and he tries to pull him back into an inverted facelock!! Anthony looking for
the THRILL KILL right here, and he has Nightmare set uuuuuuuup..
[Mixed response.]
Edgebrook: ...NNNNO!! Nightmare able to fight his way out of it with a series of
HARD elbows to the ribs and chest of Anthony! Both men vertical, and Nightmare
hits the ropes... [Crowd reacts] ...BUT ANOTHER SUPERKICK FROM ANTHONY...
[LOUD reaction.]
Edgebrook: ...no, CAUGHT by Nightmare!! Nightmare catching Anthony's foot,
spinning him around... and he catches Darren in a side headlock, taking a
two-step start...
*BOOM!!!*
[BIGTIME pop!!]
Edgebrook: ...AND A SWINGING TORNADO BULLDOG OFF THE TURNBUCKLES!! That's it
right there, and Nightmare just DRILLED Anthony into the canvas!! Nightmare
rolling Darren out of the ring, and he slams hard to the outside floor!
Nightmare is right behind him, dragging him over to the Casket, it could be over
right here!
King: I know they don't want to help Darren, but Team NWA where are you!!!!?!?
[Nightmare grabs a hand full of Darren's hair twisting his body into the
casket.]
King: Now all he has to do is shut the lid!
Edgebrook: Anthony is fighting back, he's fighting back with his feet!
["OOOOOOOHHHH!!"]
Edgebrook: Darren with a desperate kick to slam the lib of the Casket into the
face of Nightmare, and he's reeling backward now! What an escape, it was nearly
over! Darren rolls back into the ring and is now on his knee's ... but here
comes Nightmare again!
[Crowd reacts.]
King: Looks like the old man has a little left in the tank after all.
Edgebrook: Anthony fighting back with a flurry of HARD shots to the midsection
of Nightmare, and he manages to fight his way up to his feet...
*SMMMACK!!*
["WHOOOOO!!"]
Edgebrook: ...and ANOTHER knife-edge rocks Nightmare back on his heels! Anthony
gathering himself, unleashing another chop...
[Crowd murmurs.]
Edgebrook: ...no, DUCKED by Nightmare...
[And a BIGTIME pop!!]
Edgebrook: ...WHO GRABS ANTHONY IN THE JUDO CHOKE!!! JUDO CHOKE FROM NIGHTMARE,
and he has this move cinched in BEAUTIFULLY right here!!
[Anthony thrashes around as Nightmare cinches in with the Judo Choke. The
referee moves in to check on him, but The Dreamer isn't giving up without a
fight as he tries to stagger his way towards the ropes.]
Edgebrook: Nightmare with his go-to move right here, and he has knocked off
COUNTLESS people in the past with this very same move. Anthony looks to be
losing steam right here, and the referee moves in to check his arm. He lifts it
once... and it drops [Crowd murmurs] He lifts it again... and it drops again.
King: One more time and it's nighty-night Darren - but can Nightmare win by
submission?
Edgebrook: More of less if he's out like a light, it'll be a cake walk to get
him in the casket...He lifts it one more time...
[Crowd ERUPTS!!]
Edgebrook: ...and Anthony just EXPLODES forwards, taking Nightmare by surprise
and grabbing onto the top rope with his free hand!! [The crowd is cheering big
time] Darren Anthony digging down deep and escaping the Cobra Clutch style move,
and Nightmare is forced to release the hold and back away.
[As Nightmare backs off, Anthony drops to his back and rolls out of the ring,
supporting himself on the ring apron as he tries to gather himself. The
chokehold definitely looks to have taken its toll on him, and he seems to be
struggling to stay vertical as he clutches at his neck.]
Edgebrook: Anthony in a bad way, but wisely chose to roll out of the ring to
recover. Nightmare backing away, clearly a little frustrated, and... [Crowd
starts to buzz] ...uh oh.
King: Uh oh? [Sees] Oh.
Edgebrook: Nightmare dropping low, measuring the dazed Anthony... and he breaks
into a run, hitting the opposite ropes for some momentum...
[Crowd gasps.]
*THUD!*
[And a BIG TIME pop!!]
Edgebrook: ...and a SUICIDE DIVE OVER THE TOP FROM NIGHTMARE!! [The crowd is
cheering big time] Nightmare just WIPING OUT Anthony right there, but the dive
looks to have taken its toll on both men.
[The crowd continues to cheer loudly as Nightmare slowly rises to his feet. He
drags Anthony up, bundling him back in under the bottom rope, before taking a
moment to clear the cobwebs and following him in.]
Edgebrook: Nightmare taking a massive risk right there, and he brings Anthony
back to a vertical base. Nightmare may have this match in the BAG right here if
he can hit the big move he needs [LOUD buzzing] And that may be EXACTLY what
he's trying to do right now!
[Nightmare doubles Anthony over, setting Darren�s arm between his legs in the
pumphandle position.]
King: Pumphandle slam, right? No doubt "violent" something or other, knowing
Nightmare's style.
Edgebrook: Nightmare has Anthony set up for that JARRING pumphandle suplex right
here, and he digs down deep before POWERING The Dreamer up in the airrrrrrr....
[Crowd reacts LOUDLY!]
Edgebrook: ...NO!! Darren slides out the back door...
*BOOOOOOM!!*
["RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"]
Edgebrook: THE FALL!!! THE FALL OUT OF NOWHERE!!! Darren is pulling Nightmare to
his feet and making his way toward the casket just outside of the ring. Darren's
picking up speed - He tossed Nightmare over the ropes and right into the Casket
- NO!
[Nightmare gripped the top rope in desperation and swung back against the apron
hard. He pulled himself up to Meet Darren Anthony charging in his direction}
Edgerbook: Here comes Anthony - MISSLE DROPKICK! Nightmare just landed right in
the casket! He's in, and all Darren has to do is shut the lid! He's shutting it
......
Edgebrook: YES! YES!
**DING! DING! DING!**
[LOUD cheers!]
Edgebrook: And Anthony wins it!! Darren Anthony and Nightmare putting on one
HELL of a competitive match right here, and in the end, it all came down to one
reversed move ... Anthony got Nightmare in the casket and sealed the deal by
closing the lid!
[The crowd continues to cheer loudly as Anthony slowly gets back to his feet.
The referee raises his arm, intensifying the cheers, and Darren soaks it in for
a few seconds before Orson Graves meets him mid ring with his Tag Team title.]
Edgebrook: This crowd showing its appreciation for BOTH men right here, and...
['Back to School' hits as Darren takes a t-shirt from graves and puts it on, the
front reading 'BJWC4LIFE', and mounts a turnbuckle hoisting his strap high into
the air.]

With the end of the countdown, the words "We do away with your kind" turns into dripping blood. The blood forms a ball at the bottom of the titiantron and the ball transforms into the earth, from the left side of the screen, a large comet can be seen heading straight from the earth. The comet hits and throws the ball into a mixture of oranges and black. Finally the screen becomes engulfed by a mess of orange flames. At this point, orange pyros shoot up from out of the ground and out walks Nero.
Richard King: WOAH!!! What an entrence for Nero.
Edgebrook: Look at the size of this monster!! He`s gonna tower over Tommy L!!
"Puritania" by Dimmu Borgir continues to play, as Nero continues to walk down to the ring. Nero recieves an very small ovation, as most people don't care. Nero finally maskes it down to the ring once his song finishes.
Earth...Sussesfully...Destroyed.
King: WOAH!!! Where did that come from?
(Nero and Tommy both lie on the outside breathing heavily, Nero inches his way over to cover Tommy.)
Edgebrook: And the cover...

(Jake Cage grabs Nero Cain and Jason Stallion begins to pummle Nero Cain`s midsection. Nero Cain falls down to the outside mat.)
Edgebrook: Hey!! This is cheating!!
King: James, you idiot!! This IS a brutality style match. Anything goes!!
(Jake Cage throws Nero Cain in the ring post. Busting Nero Cain`s forehead.)
King: Nero Cain is now bleeding.
(As The Cage Brothers begin to stomp onto Nero Cain, Tommy L is slowly getting up.)
Edgebrook: It looks like Tommy L is telling Jake and Jason to back off, he has things under control.
(Jake and Jason back off as Tommy L grabs a chair and begins to swing it at Nero Cain.)
[KLANG!!]
[KLANG!!]
Edgebrook: OH MY GOD!! Tommy L just leveled Nero Cain with two thunderous chairshots.
(Tommy L smiles at the Cage Brothers and gives them a thumbs up.)
King: Tommy L is attempting to swing the chair again.
[THUD!!]
King: HOLY MOSES!! Nero Cain just punched the chair into the face of Tommy L.
Edgebrook: Nero picks up Tommy L and proceeds with two quick backbreakers. Oh no!! Here comes Jake and Jason again.
(Jake Cage and Jason Stallion proceeds to nail Nero Cain with punches and kicks. That somewhat stuns Nero Cain. As the Cage Brothers are hitting Cain with everything they have. Tommy L slowly climbs to the ring apron. Tommy gets up and gives a double axe handle to the lower back of Nero, with the help of Tommy, Nero turns around where Tommy nails a jab to Nero's jaw. Tommy L hooks Nero into a suplex position.)
[KLANG!!]
(Nero slams the monitor, that`s still in his hand, into the back of Tommy`s head.
Edgebrook: Did you see that? Nero just clocked Tommy with that t.v. monitor.

One two three Your secresies
Watch how the idiots follow me
Running any way to get out of the way
Dig into the shock 'casue I'm staying the same
But I need some vowels, back it up
Fill your loves in amazing hearts
Tell me everythings gunna be alright
'Cause I don't think I'll make it throught the night

The only way (The only way)

Oh, my, god it's
Times like these I'm not the best
Everybody out theres what its guess
So let's take a little bit off the top
I don't care just make it stop!
I won't give another soul (to you)
I won't give another life (to you)
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO STOP?!
STOP!
STOP!
STOP!
I do want you to say something cryptic
But the styles always clash
Well say I'm never sure
Hypathetical won't work anymore
One move open they will pay
My nails, are driving inside my wrists
This sacroment, is sacolent, and sentimental
Maybe it's experimental
Circumsize the dental
I won't give another soul (to you)
I won't give another life (to you)
I won't give another thought (to you)
I won't give anyone my hope (to you)
As the song continues, Ben Mauler storms out of the curtain, as he walks to the ring at a quick pace. Ben leaps onto the ring apron, enters the ring over the top rope, and starts pointing at the fans, rallying them up. Ben signals for �Opium Of The People� by Slipknot to be cued up again, as he continues to play to the crowd.
(Ben Mauler shoves the smaller Tommy L.)
Edgebrook: Look at this!! Tommy L is fighting back!!
(Two quick forearms by Tommy L.)
King: A thumb in the eye!! That`s gonna slow down Tommy L!!
Crowd: Ou-u-u!!
Edgebrook: How despicable!! A slap in the face by Ben Mauler onto Tommy L!!
(Mauler tosses Tommy L into the ringropes, as Mauler bounces of the ropes behind Tommy L.)
Edgebrook: A devastating clothesline to the back of the head of Tommy L!!
(Ben Mauler puts Tommy L onto his shoulders and begins to run.)
King: This looks like a running powerslam.
[WHAM!!]
King: It is!! It is!! It was a running powerslam!!
Edgebrook: Ben Mauler picks up a very tired Tommy L and...
[WHAM!!]
Edgebrook: Side suplex by Ben Mauler. So far it`s been all Ben Mauler.

(Ben Mauler Sets up tommy L what looks like superplex, from the top turnbuckle.)
King: I think this is... Yes!! It is "Inflicted Pain"!!
(Both men crash hard onto the mats, on the outside of the ring.)

Edgebrook: Ben Mauler even looks hurt.
(Sensing an opportunity, Jake and Jason run over to the fallen men. But, Mauler just sneers and smirks, as he gets up in a quick fashion.)
King: Ben Mauler just lunged at the Cage Brothers. Jake and Jason just stopped in their tracks!!
Edgebrook: It looks like Ben Mauler is looking for something to cause more damage with.
(Ben Mauler looks under the ring and finds a sledgehammer.)

Edgebrook: Oh my God!! Look at that laceration on Mauler`s head!!

King: I think Roadkill just told Jake and Jason to stay out of his way!!
(Roadkill goes to the outside and is looking under the ring. He pulls out a table.)
Edgebrook: Oh my God!! A table. Can you imagine the damage a guy like Roadkill can do with a table.

Huge boos filled the arena when Letner came out and announced that Dmetri and Gavin were unable to fight. And that Kid Ego had to quickly find two other guys to fight with him, otherwise it would be a Three-On-One handicap Match.
Good thing Ego has some
friends, as BNI answered the call and came out to Kid Ego's side. Cage was
eliminated first, followed by both members of BNI, with a little help from Cage.
Ego eliminated Stallion, but with a little bit of cheating the Cage Brothers
helped Slaughter pull off the upset, by grabbing Ego's legs during Slaughter's
pin.
And your winner...
Ace Slaughter
VOTES: Match was originally pre-determined.
But votes proved otherwise.

WrestleBowl in all it's glory. Until then, good luck and God bless.
