Great Lakes Wrestling Alliance presents...

Friday Night Riot
 
Live from the Gund Arena in Cleveland, Ohio
December 31st, 2004
 
 

{Camera opens in the Gund Arena garage, where we see a parking attendant waving in a car. But it's no ordinary car, it's a white stretch limo with a GLWA license plate. The attendant waves the limosine to a halt. The chauffeur exits the vehicle and walks around the front. With his white gloves, he opens the rear door for...}

LETNER: Who the hell took MY parking spot?!?!

{Out jumps GLWA President and Owner, Mr. Robert Letner. He looks none too pleased as he approaches the parking attendant}

ATTENDANT: I'm...not sure, sir.

{Letner is fuming}

LETNER: I am the goddamn owner of the GLWA, and I expect MY parking spot when I get here!  Who has the audacity...no, the DEATHWISH of crossing me?!?

{The parking attendant is cowering... he manages to lift his arm and point, with his hand shaking. Both Letner and the camera look in that direction.... to find an enormous silver Kenworth T2000 truck.}

LETNER: Well tow this monstrosity OUT OF HERE!

ATTENDANT: I.... I'm sorry sir... but.... but our tow truck isn't strong enough to...

LETNER: You're USELESS! When I find out whose truck this is, he's gonna have to answer to ME!!

{Letner walks over to the truck and looks at it}

LETNER: Whomever this truck belongs too...they will regret disrespecting me!

{President Letner turns around and storms off into the building.
 


{Scene cuts to the inside of the Gund Arena where the Cleveland fans are going wild.  Fireworks explode from the entrance ramp as the camera's pan around the arena}
 

EDGEBROOK: WELCOME TO FRIDAY NIGHT RIOT!! I am�..

(Before Edgebrook can spit another word out, the ramp explodes in fireworks and pyrotechnics and �The Anthem� by Good Charlotte kicks in over the PA system. The crowd shoots to their feet, knowing who is coming)

KING: Freaking wonderful

EDGEBROOK: That�s funny, I don�t have this planned at all

(Through the smoke emerges �Kid Ego� Diesel Warren as the crowd hits fever pitch. Warren is wearing a # 92 Green Bay Packer jersey of the recently deceased Reggie White, faded carpenter blue jeans and a black bandana.)

EDGEBROOK: He is such a crowd favorite, worth the price of admission

KING: You are such a suck up

(Diesel quickly makes his way down the aisle, slapping hands with as many fans as he can. He slides into the ring, ascends the nearest turnbuckle and raises his arms as the flashbulbs go off and the sound is almost deafening. He calls for a mic and receives it)

[EGO]:" CLEVELAND!!!

((Cheap hometown pop!))

[EGO]:" HOW THE HELL ARE YOU!??!?"

((HUGE POP))

EDGEBROOK: He can work a crowd, that�s for damn sure

[EGO]:" Let me be the first to welcome you��TO FRIDAY NIGHT RIOT!!!

((Another HUGE pop))

[EGO]:" Where tonight, in the Main Event, I take on the Cage brothers, of Team NWA"

((Boos fill the arena))

[EGO]:" The Team NWA that has seemingly put me directly in their sites. I was the one who learned the hard way of the defection of Letner. I was the one who took the beating when Ace Slaughter was announced to the world as the fourth mystery member."

KING: Man that was a glorious day

((Ego pauses for a moment, going and leaning on the top rope, looking at the sold out Gund arena))

[EGO]:" They want to proclaim the GLWA as Team NWA territory, they want to hold all the GLWA gold. They figure that they have the boss, that everyone else will fall in line. I am here to tell you, THEY ARE WRONG!"

((Another HUGE pop))

[EGO]:" Team NWA will have to break every bone in my body and take every last breath from me before I WILL EVER stop fighting for the GLWA, stop fighting for YOU!"

((He is pacing in the ring now, a scowl covering his face))

[EGO]:" I will carry the load of the GLWA all by myself if I have to. I will be just what I was in the BJWC, I will be the GLWA Franchise, I will be YOUR FRANCHISE!!"

((Pauses for a moment, a smirk taking the place of hate))

[EGO]:" Starting tonight, my crusade against Team NWA hits a fever pitch. Partner or no partner, I don�t give a damn. Tonight Jake, Tonight Jason, you two will be MY big showing, MY big mark on the GLWA landscape."

((He climbs the turnbuckle, standing triumphantly on the middle buckle))

[EGO]:" Tonight, marks the downfall of Team NWA!"

((Warren chucks the mic as Good Charlotte kicks back over the PA system and heads back up the aisle))

EDGEBROOK: I think Diesel Warren has just poured some gasoline in the raging fire that is his feud with Team NWA!

KING: He�s gonna get burned!!


 
Debut Match
Dark Fog vs. Sensational Steve

Neither man makes his debut, because neither man shows up! 
 
And your winner...
No One



[The television cameras cut backstage where GLWA interviewer Eric Scott is standing by, mic in hand.]

Eric: Good evening wrestling fans. I�m joined right now by Joey Brannon, who will challenge Dmitre Werhman and Don Diego in the BJWC Mid-West Title unification match in a few moments.

[Camera zooms out to show Joey now in the frame as well. He�s wearing his new blue full-length tights with white stars up each leg. Rather than his normal Columbus Blue Jackets jersey, Joey�s wearing a Team USA hockey jersey with the number 12 and "O�Sullivan" written on it.]

Eric: Joey I�d like to get your feelings heading into your first ever championship opportunity.

Joey: Well Eric, I must say it comes at a weird time. This is probably the only time anyone on the planet has ever said this sentence, but right now I�d rather be in North Dakota.

Eric: I don�t understand? Are you nervous and want to hide?

Joey: No way! What I mean is that�s where the 2005 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships are going on, and Team USA is favoured. We have a great team, and won it last year, beating Canada in the final. Now the team is hosting and looking to defend the championship. Team USA is going for gold, and tonight� so am I.

Eric: Well team USA is defending their title, you�re looking to win yours for the first time. Can you do it tonight?

Joey: You�ll know soon enough Eric.

BJWC Unification Match (BJWC Midwest & BJWC 'Main Event')
Dmetri Wehrman (C) vs. Joey Brannon vs. Don Diego
Winner recieves BJWC MidWest Championship Title
 

EDGEBROOK: This match aught to be good.  One man who has cemented his place in GLWA history, one who is coming back from an injury and a superb AFL game where he was voted MVP, and one man who must prove he still has it in him.
 
KING: This is a great time for my nap.
 
{'Anxiety' by Black Eyed Peas blares out of the speakers as the crowd erupts.  Everyone turns and looks to the entrance ramp, since this music means only one thing}
 
KING: I'm awake, NOW!!!
 
{President Letner comes walking out of the back and smirks at all the fans as he gets a dose of both cheers and boos}
 
EDGEBROOK: Wonder why he's here.
 
KING: It's his company.
 
{The President makes his way down the ramp and into the ring, where he takes the microphone from the announcer}
 
LETNER: Cut my music.
 
{The music ends and the only sound is the crowd mumbling}
 
LETNER: Dmetri Wehrman and Joey Brannon...come to the ring, now!
 
{Fans cheer loud as Dmetri steps out of the back with the GLWA Five Lakes Title and the BJWC MidWest Title.  Dmetri walks down the ramp and stands at the steps of the ring}
 
LETNER: Joey, I said to the ring...NOW!!!

[The unmistakable chords of "United States of Whatever" by Liam Lynch begin to play and the fans come to their feet. A blue spotlight focuses on the entryway as the fans� noise builds.  Joey bursts through the curtains and out into the arena. His old faded blue jeans are gone in favour of a pair of real wrestling tights. The full-length pants are blue with alternating red and white stars up each leg. His hair is tied back in a ponytail and he still is wearing the Team USA hockey jersey as he bounds to the ring, slapping every hand he can reach along the way.]

EDGEBROOK: A new look for Brannon tonight.

KING: I just wish he�d hurry up and get in the ring. C�mon Joey� TV time buddy!

LETNER: CUT THE MUSIC!!!  GET IN THE RING THIS INSTANT!!!

{Very disgruntle, both men slide into the ring as the music stops}
 
LETNER: Now I know how much you guys looked forward to wrestling in a triple-threat match, but I am going to have to burst your bubble.  Because Mr. Diego experienced a little accident today.
 
EDGEBROOK: Oh god no.
 
{Letner smirks}
 
LETNER: At first he told me that he was the one who parked in my spot.  He proceeded to laugh then tell me that he was joking.  I didn't get the joke.  It was sad though.  I walked out of his locker room and I heard a loud bang.  It seems his dresser fell on top of him.  Sad, so sad.
 
KING: Stupid Diego.
 
{Fans boo}
 
LETNER: So Dmetri...Joey.  This is a one on one match, starting NOW!!!
 
{Letner leaves the ring and stands next to the announcers table, as the bell rings}
 
{DING, DING}
 
KING: Diego shouldn't play like that.
 
EDGEBROOK: Brannon charges the bigger Dmetri, catching him off guard by sliding through his legs.
 
KING: This isn't the ballet.
 
EDGEBROOK: Brannon is up as he DROPKICKS THE BACK OF DMETRI'S LEGS.
 
CRASH!!!
 
KING: The big man went down hard.  Brannon is up to his feet...
 
EDGEBROOK: But so is Dmetri.  The BJWC Midwest Champ grabs Brannon by the throat...CHOKESLAM.  Dmetri drops for the quick cover.
 
 
1...
 
 
KICKOUT!!!
 
KING: Dmetri is up, pulling Brannon to his feet.  He irish whips Joey into the ropes.  Dmetri charges...NO!  President Letner just grabbed Dmetri by the foot.  Dmetri turns around and flips off Letner.
 
EDGEBROOK: That was uncalled for, by both of them.  Dmetri turns around...Joey grabs him around the neck...runs up the ringpost...ACID DROP!!!
 
KING: Dmetri is just laying there...he looks hurt.
 
EDGEBROOK:  Joey Brannon looks confused.  He sees Letner on the outside.
 
LETNER: PIN HIM!!!
 
{Letner slaps the ring}
 
KING: Brannon climbs to the top rope.  He looks around...jumps...
 
{Flashbulbs pop}
 
EDGEBROOK: SKY HIGH!!!  JOEY HIT IT AS HE HOOKS DMETRI'S LEG!!!
 
 
1...
 
 
2...
 
 
KING: Dmetri isn't moving...
 
EDGEBROOK: Letner is smiling...
 
 
3...
 
 
{DING, DING, DING}
 
EDGEBROOK: JOEY BRANNON PULLED OFF THE QUICK UPSET OF DMETRI WEHRMAN!!!
 
{Letner grabs the BJWC Midwest Title off of the announcer's table, then slides it into the ring where Joey Brannon grabs it and holds it up into the air}
 
KING: Good job, Joey Brannon.
 
EDGEBROOK: Dmetri was screwed.  Letner didn't have to mess with this match.
 
{'United States of Whatever' blares over the loudspeakers as Joey exits the ring and holds the BJWC Midwest Title up in the air, as Letner climbs into the ring, with a microphone}
 
LETNER: Kill the music!
 
{The music shuts off as Joey gets to the top of the entrance ramp.  He turns and looks at Letner, with a curious look}
 
LETNER: Enjoy that BJWC title, Joey.  You earned it after that MVP performance at the Gridiron Challange.
 
{Joey smirks and takes off into the back, holding his title}
 
EDGEBROOK: I wonder if Joey even knows what Letner did.
 
LETNER: As for you...Dmetri.
 
{Letner kneels down next to the unconsious Dmetri Wehrman}
 
LETNER: You may have won the GLWA Five Lakes Title...but I don't think you are the most dangerous wrestler on the planet.  And the next time you threaten me or call me BOB...I will show you what dangerous really is.
 
{Letner smirks as he leans down, almost in the face of Dmetri Wehrman...who is bleeding from the nose}
 
LETNER: In the words of a great man...don't cross the boss.
 
{Letner stands to his feet and exits the ring as the scene cuts to commercial}
 
 
And your winner...
Joey Brannon
The NEW BJWC MidWest Champion

COMMERCIAL


{Cameras cut back to the announcers, inside the arena}

EDGEBROOK: Well folks, we'd just like to take this time to announce the NWA's new Clash of the Champions monthly show.  The first show has the GLWA getting shots at two different titles.

KING: Two?

EDGEBROOK: The Cage Brothers make their first defense in the Great Lakes.

KING: Who's going to face them?

EDGEBROOK: I've heard rumours, but I'm not sure.  I'm not saying until I know for certain.

KING: Whimp.  Whats the other title shot?

EDGEBROOK: A six-man match for the vacant NWA World Heavyweight Title.  Five federations and the Lord of the Ring winner.

KING: So you're telling me that one person from each fed will head into the match...with Drew Carrig?

EDGEBROOK: Yep.  And I have comfirmation of who will represent the Great Lakes Wrestling Alliance.

KING: Who?

EDGEBROOK: Can't say.

KING: You remind me of my ex-girlfriend.  You both were big teases.

EDGEBROOK: Yeah, well we have to get to our next match.



NWF Unification Match (NWF Heartland & NWF Brutality)
Chris Saint (C) vs. Ace Slaughter (C)
Winner recieves NWF Heartland Championship Title
 

EDGEBROOK: Now it�s time for a match that has quickly progressed past the intial NWF title unification

KING: For once your right Jimmy, Slaughter has made no bones about his dislike for Chris Saint, the former NWA TV champ. What Saint is overlooking is Slaughter having Team NWA behind him!

EDGEBROOK: All your Team NWA pandering will get you no where King

KING: Letner let me keep my job before, it�s only going to get better!

EdDGEBROOK: Whatever, Ace is already in the ring, we are just waiting for the arrival of Chris Saint

[The lights dim.]

#Right up in here, is the sweet spot
Stay right up in here, and don't bend unda pre'sure
Is that what it is? The cake will do
Uhh, uhh uhh, the cake will do
Tell em, fuck the shame, tell em
Fuck the game, don't let the game fuck you
Check it out

[FLASH]

CHRIS SAINT

[Out comes out NWF Heartland Champion Chris Saint. His long blonde hair is down covering his face. He is wearing a black shirt which says "The Living Legend" in white print. His small frame radiates the power of a champion. Saint has been in many hardcore battles and this one will be no different.]

#I - opened up shop at 13
Dimes, dubs, quarter sacks and O-Z's
From hand-held, digital to triple-beam
Now my pa-ger's an e-mail flip screen
Expanded my game off into amphetamines
Looked around and had a small wall green
But tha word out on tha street is that u fucked wit my
fiends
Them niggas around tha corner then let tha thing beam
Now they done let it burn out, phone a ching ching
Just another - hustle to add to my schemes
Just another piece of the puzzle to my dreams
cuz the house, the cars, and the coffee take green
I might ride tha range wit tha Roley on the rocks
or push a candy colored cutless wit a matchin T-shirt
When the - spot get hot don't stop, move shop
Find another block restock and take it from the top
now

[Saint snaps his head up and his hair falls behind his hair. Now Saint's face is visible. A new passion of anger is in the blue eyes of Chris Saint. Saint slowly begins to walk down the ramp. He never takes his eyes off of the ring. Saint has gotten a lot of fan support
as of late but he doesn't seem to care.]

#Greed, Hate, Envy but cake will do
Fuck tha game don't let the game fuck you
Follow the rules stay cool and rock jewels
Greed, Hate, Envy but cake will do

[Saint slides into the ring and crawls to the center.]

#So you think you're the shit nigga YA smell me
Shouts out to my nigga NORE
I'll never take another man's glory
Shit don't mix like Shaq and Kobe
Now you know me, I be low key
On these icey roleys Scob done showed me
And hoes ignored me, now they blow me
Them niggas that loaned me now they owe me
Oh me Oh my I can see tha greed and tha envy in yo eyes
Now call me a lie
While you five stand by I stand by tha captain
Hoe play now did somebody page Samson
I stay cheefin' higha than a hooker on the weekends
Seven days a weekend man, I walk in yo church reekin
Now Lester called me a heathen old fish eyed fool
Bitch had the nerve to repeat old fish eyed fool

[Chris Saint stands in the center and looks at all the fans around him. With a sudden movement, Saint rips off his shirt and reveals his muscular body. A large panther tattoo is on his back. On his right chest muscle reads "Revenge" in blood red ink.]

EDGEBROOK: The winner will unify the NWF titles and it will become�..well it doesn�t appear I have that information in front of me.

KING: Robert will think of something, he is Team NWA, they ALWAYS think of something.

(Saint and Slaughter are just inches away from each other, jawing away)

KING: It appears that Slaughter has about 50 pounds on Saint and about 3 inches.

EDGEBROOK: It�s probably that stupid mask

(Slaughter makes the first move, pushing Saint, and the smaller wrestler takes a step back. Saint takes another step back, before charging and spearing Ace to the ground, throwing hay makers)

EDGEBROOK: I have a fun feeling this is going to go from a wrestling match to a street fight really quick

KING: Too late

(The Heartland champ is choking the life out of Slaughter, the ref finally breaks it up, but Saint stays on the advantage. Saint drops a knee across the throat of Ace, before sitting him up)

EDGEBROOK: What does Saint have planned here?

(Saint takes half a step back, lining up Slaughter before giving him a devastating spinal tap kick. Ace screams out in pain before crumpling in a heap as Saint is wearing a sick smile)

EDGEBROOK: GOOD GAWD WHAT A KICK!!

KING: Good thing that Slaughter doesn�t need to carry Team NWA cause it ain�t happening after that kick

(Chris is mocking Ace, almost daring him to get up. Saint turns to the crowd to soak up the jeers, suddenly the Superstar jumps to his feet)

EDGEBROOK: He was playing possum!

KING: Team NWA thinking at it�s finest!!

(Saint turns around to have a face to fist meeting ordered by Slaughter. As Saint stumbles back, Ace capitalizes by pulling Chris in close and drilling him into the mat with a DDT)

EDGEBROOK: A jarring DDT from Ace Slaughter, good to see he finally found some offense

KING: It�s cause he is�.

EDGEBROOK: If you say cause he�s Team NWA I�m going to break this chair over your head

KiING: Touch�

EDGEBROOK: COVER!!

Kickout!!

(Wasting no time, Slaughter brings Saint to his feet, sending him flying into the ropes. Ace crouches down and connects with a flapjack that sends Saint HIGH into the air before crashing down to the mat)

EDGEBROOK: He was almost in the rafters on that!

KiING: I think your exaggerating

EDGEBROOK: Well duh

(Quickly, Ace drops an elbow across the sternum of Saint, then another. Slaughter then ascends the top rope, signaling for his finisher, the Slaughtermatic)

EDGEBROOK: If he hits them King, this bad boy is all done

(In a last ditch effort, Saint gets to his feet, leaps, and drops himself on the top rope, knocking Ace off his balance as he lands crotch first on the top turnbuckle)

EDGEBROOK: OW OW OW OW!!!

KING: He�s got a weird mask on, so you would think he�d wear a cup or something

(With Slaughter still, well, hung out to dry, Saint shakes the cobwebs out and makes his way over to the Team NWA member. He lands two right hands, rocking Ace a bit, before sliding under Ace a bit, getting him over his shoulder, taking two steps and slamming Ace to the mat)

EDGEBROOK: Chris Saint hitting a modified Oklahoma Slam I�d say

KING: Whatever the hell it was it looked like it hurt like hell

EDGEBROOK: COVER!!!

2

 

 

3!!!......NO!!!

EDGEBROOK: Saint isn�t wasting any time, he�s locked in a dragon sleeper on Ace Slaughter, no doubt trying to soften him up for his Grasp of death finisher

KING: This dude is morbid. Grasp of death, cutting the throat of his confidence. His shrink must be loaded

(Saint is really pulling back on the dragon sleeper as Ace flails around, trying to land a punch or anything to break the hold. After a few moments Saint breaks the hold)

EDGEBROOK: I can�t believe Ace didn�t tap out

KiING: There is no quit in Team NWA!!

EDGEBROOK: Would you shut up!

(Ace staggers to his feet, where he is met with a kick to his midsection from Saint, and then Chris connects with a swinging neck breaker)

EDGEBROOK: What a technician in that ring, no wasted movement

(Saint gives the sign for his submission finisher, the Grasp of Death)

EDGEBROOK: This has potential to be the end of the line for the newest member of Team NWA

KiING: Oh �ye of little faith!

(Chris goes to lock on the modified cross face, but Ace quickly slides out of the ring, under the bottom rope)

KiING: See! I told you!

(The NWF Heartland champ walks towards the ropes, but Ace is one step ahead, jumping up and dropping Saint throat first on the top rope)

KING: Smart wrestling there by Ace Slaughter

EDGEBROOK: One might say desperation

KING: You say tomato, I say tomato

(As Saint grabs at his throat, Ace slides into the ring, grabbing Chris and connecting with a belly to back suplex)

EDGEBROOK: Saint was folded up like a card table after that suplex

KING: Desperation, Ha! He was just lulling him into his trap

(Slaughter is hot, pummeling Saint with right and left hands, before he pulls Saint to his feet and drops him just as fast with a short arm clothesline)

EDGEBROOK: It is just all Ace Slaughter right now, at this rate all the gold will be in the hands of Team NWA

KING: Just like it should be!

EDGEBROOK: It looks like Slaughter is setting up for a T-Bone suplex, he lifts�..NO!!! Counter!!

KING: Crap!!

EDGEBROOK: Chris Saint reversed the attempted Suplex into his Grasp of Death finisher!!!

(Saint has the modified cross face locked in, driving Slaughter into the mat)

EDGEBROOK: He really has that cinched in, right in the middle of the ring

KING: Where the hell is Cage and the rest of Team NWA?!?!?!?

(Saint has a demented look in his eyes, just rearing back on the face and neck of Ace Slaughter. He is trying to fight it�.)

 

���

 

(Still refusing to give up�..)

 

��.

 

 

EDGEBROOK: He�s TAPPING!!! It�s over!!

KING: DOH!

**DING DING DING**

EDGEBROOK: Chris Saint wins the unification match and both NWF belts!!!

And your winner...
Chris Saint
STILL the NWF Heartland Champion


{Chris Saint holds the NWF Heartland Title into the air suddenly the lights go out as "Let it Out" by Hoobastank begins to bare over the PA system}

#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}
 
KING: Didn't Letner fire up at Clash For The Cup?

#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 dont like it)
(if you don't like it)

#Go ahead, you know just what you want to do

#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 dont like it)

{Nightmare climbs up and is seen talking to Chris Saint}
 
EDGEBROOK: What are they talking about?
 
KING: Not sure but Chris Saint puts the title down and pulls Ace Slaughter to his feet.  He pushes Slaughter to Nightmare.  Kick to the gut, Nightmare grabs Slaughter in a side-walk slam.  He slips Slaughter forward with all his strength..AND DROPS ACE SLAUGHTER ON HIS FACE!!!
 
EDGEBROOK: That looked vicious!
 
KING: Saint is loving this.  He walks over to Nightmare, laughing.  KICK TO THE GUT!!!  Nightmare grabs Chris Saint and hits the SAME MOVE ON HIM!!!
 
{Crowd is stunned}
 
{Nightmare grabs the NWF Heartland Title and looks at it, then holds it in the air}
 
EDGEBROOK: Oh this will have precusions.
 
KING: Slaughter and Saint aren't going to be happy when they get up.



COMMERCIAL


 

{Cameras cut out of commercials, showing Richard King and James Edgebrook}
 
EDGEBROOK: For those who just missed it...Chris Saint made Ace Slaughter tap.  Then Nightmare came back...
 
KING: Even though he was fired!
 
EDGEBROOK: ...hit both Slaughter and Saint with some monster move.  Both men were carted out of here and Nightmare walked off with Chris Saint's NWF Heartland Title.
 
KING: Well Nightmare will get his.  Letner fired him so technically Nightmare walked out of here with GLWA property.  He's a theif.
 
EDGEBROOK: Theif or not, Rick...it's time for our main event.
 

GLWA Tag Team Title Match
Kid Ego & ??? (C) vs. The Cage Brothers

EDGEBROOK: I wonder who Kid Ego picked as a partner.
 
KING: Whomever it is...it won't be enough to defeat the NWA Tag Champs, The Cage Brothers.
 
[The arena lights go down and the Team NWA logo flashes on the Sobeys sponsored video wall. �Sonne� by Rammstein begins to count up}
 
EDGEBROOK: Here we go folks...the last match of 2004!!!
 
{The Cage Brothers step out of the back to a chorus of boos.  Together, they hold four titles}
 
KING: Tonight, they could walk out of Cleveland with six titles.  Thats amazing.
 
{The Cage Brothers walk down the ramp and enter the ring}

((The lights dim down, a single neon green spot light shines on the enterance curtain, almost bouncing on it�s target))

EDGEBROOK: With Kid Ego due now, one has to wonder what he has up his sleeve for his mystery partner

KING: Doesn�t matter, long live Team NWA!!

((A guitar starts firing up, shooting out a upbeat set of notes as the crowd gets to their feet, awaiting the arrival of the unknown competitor))

EDGEBROOK: Diesel has made it known that it may be called GLWA, but to him it will, and always will be, the BJWC

KING: Keep living in the past you loser

BBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM

Lana: Now, coming down the aisle, weighing 218 pounds and coming to us from Milwaukee, Wisconsin�..Kid Ego��DIESEL WARREN!!!

((As the drums kick in on �Anthem� by Good Charlotte, the entrance ramp explodes in a breath taking fire works display as someone pops out of the curtain, running through the smoke))

EDGEBROOK: This feud has the potential to become one of the hottest in the NWA this coming year, nothing but hate between Warren and the Cage�s

##It's a new day
But it all feels old
It's a good life,
That's what I'm told
But everything, it all just feels the same##

((The crowd pops as Warren is now in plain view of the capacity crowd. He is wearing yellow tights with �KID EGO� down the sides in forest green font and �BJWC� on the butt in white, and one GLWA tag title around his waist, the other over his shoulder. Diesel makes his way down the ramp slapping hands with fans. ))

##And my high school
It felt more to me
Like a jail cell,
A penitentiary
My time spent there, it only made me see##

KING: Not really a feud if he loses all the time is it?

##That I don't ever wanna be like you
I don't wanna do the things you do
I'm never gonna hear the words you say
And I don't ever wanna,
I don't ever wanna be you##

((Kid Ego stops short in front of the ring, adjusting his shinny black boots with �KEDW� down the sides in gold and the white tape on each wrist. He tugs firm on the black forearm band he is wearing and he jumps into the ring))

EDGEBROOK: I really think that it is only a matter of time before Diesel is fighting for that GLWA title once again

##"Go to college,
A university
Get a real job"
That's what they say to me
But I could never live the way they want
I'm gonna get by
And just do my time
Out of step while
They all get in line
I'm just a Minor Threat so pay no mind##

((Diesel strolls to the nearest turnbuckle, soaking up the cheers. He ascends the turnbuckle, thrusting his arms in the air as the crowd goes claps))

##Do you really wanna be like them?
Do you really wanna be another trend?
Do you wanna be part of their crowd?
Cause I don't ever wanna
I don't ever wanna be you##

##Don't wanna be just like you
What I'm sayin' is
This is the anthem
Throw all your hands up
You Don't wanna be you##

KING: Keep dreaming

EDGEBROOK: It looks like Ego is going at this one alone, this doesn�t bode well for him

{DING, DING}
 
KING: Here we go folks.  The end of Kid Ego is near...and the begining of Team NWA's reign is here.
 
(Suddenly the lights dim as blue stobes bathe the arena. The gentle riffs of "Orion" by Metallica explode over the sound system.)

EDGEBROOK: This is a familiar song.

KING: Yes it is, but for the life of me I can't figure out what he is doing here at this point and time.

EDGEBROOK: They always like to make a surprise return.

(Out on the rampway standing at 6'2" with long greasy blonde hair brandishing a bottle of Jack Daniels struts former 3 time BJWC president Malice. The crowd explodes with mixed emotions.)

EDGEBROOK: He just couldn't set his bottle down could he!

KING: That is his thing James, just like your's is being a biased dork.

EDGEBROOK: I am still baffled why he chose this moment to appear.

KING: Him and Ego have always been at odds, maybe he is returning to kick him while he is down.

EDGEBROOK: Certainly it wouldn't be to join forces?

{The lights return to normal and the music fades as Malice climbs into the ring. He struts over to Diesel Warren who starts the Mexican staredown. Malice only smiles as he offers his bottle of Jack to Ego. Ego swats the bottle away and Malice's grin turns into something less welcoming as the two go chest to chest exchanging words}

EDGEBROOK: Someone has to do something. Ego has enough on his plate faceing the Cage brothers without Malice messing with him also.

KING: This is entertainment James! Ego should have excepted the drink.

(The Cage brothers have had enough as they attack both Malice and Kid Ego.)

EDGEBROOK: Ego and Malice are caught off guard by the impatient attack by the Cage brothers. Jake sends Malice over the top rope with a vicious clothesline.

KING: Malice recovers rather quickly and climbs up on the apron taking his place in Ego's corner!

EDGEBROOK: Is it true? Has Malice come down to tag with Kid Ego?

TIMMONS: These guys have never been friends, he must have something else up his sleeve.

EDGEBROOK: The ref is attempting to end the double team on Ego by forcing one of the Cage brothers out of the ring.

KING: Malice sees an opportunity and clocks Jake Cage with his bottle of Jack while the ref has his back turned trying to get his brother out of the ring.

EDGEBROOK: As Jake drops to the mat, Malice drags Ego over to his corner. The ref turns around in time to see Ego tag Malice's outstretched hand.
 
KING: This is an outrage.  Malice covers Jake Cage...
 
1...
 
EDGEBROOK: Jason charges in the ring...
 
2...
 
KING: Kid Ego jumps in and cuts him off before he can reach Malice and Cage.
 
3...!!!
 
{DING, DING, DING}
 
KING: NOOOOOOO!!!!
 
EDGEBROOK: KID EGO AND MALICE DID IT!!!  I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
 
{Stallion tends to Cage as Kid Ego is handed a title and so is Malice}
 
KING: THEY CHEATED!!!
 
ANNOUNCER: And your winners...Kid Ego and Maaaaaalice!!!

EDGEBROOK: Ego just stole the mic from the ring announcer.

WARREN: Hey Malice, I want to know what the hell is going on. The last time I saw you, you were smashing that whisky bottle over my head. What made you decide to come down and fight with me? And what makes you think I wan't you here?

(Malice picks up his bottle of Jack and takes a healthy drink before taking the mic from Ego.)

MALICE: Quit being so smug you ingrate before I decide to show you why you need to respect your elders. I don't give a rats ass if you want me as a partner. I saw a chance to grab some gold and I came out and took it. It may not have been pretty, but if I wasn't here tonight with you, then the Cage brothers would be wearing the tag team belts. I don't care if you don't like me Diesel, as a matter of fact I still don't care for you too much. But like it or not, we are the tag team champs. We can settle our differences right now, or we can wait for when the time comes that you get pinned for our belts, then we can settle our differences. Either way is fine with me.

(Malice drops the mic at the feet of Ego and stands there with his arms wide in challenge. Ego stares at him menacingly but does not advance. Malice smiles and takes another long drag from his bottle before the two exit the ring seperately and head for the back)
 
And your GLWA Tag Team Champions...
Kid Ego & Malice


KING: Well while those two were singing love songs to each other...President Letner has made his way to the ring and he looks pissed.

EDGEBROOK: Letner is yelling at the ref.

{Letner picks the microphone up off the mat}

LETNER: YOU ARE FIRED!!!

{The ref slowly leaves the ring}

LETNER: I bet all you fans enjoyed that.  For once Team NWA didn't do the screwing over...Team NWA got screwed.  But that's okay..because I believe in karma.  So even though we were screwed out of the Tag Titles this week...

{Letner smirks}

LETNER: We will have our all out match next week.  It will be a four-man match.  Jake Cage...

{Fans boo}

LETNER: ...versus Jason Stallion...

{Fans boo}

LETNER: ...versus Joey Brannon...

{Fans cheer}

LETNER: ...versus Dmetri Wehrman...

{Fans cheer}

LETNER: ...for the GLWA Five Lakes Title!!!

{Fans pop}

LETNER: And as for whomever took my spot earlier!

EDGEBROOK: He needs to get over this.

LETNER: I am giving you the chance to come out right now and show yourself.

{Letner turns to look at the entrance ramp as Jason nurses to his brother}

LETNER: If you come out right now...your punishment will not be so bad.  But I have to come search for you, then...

{Suddenly the lights go out in the arena}

EDGEBROOK: What the?!

KING: This is not a good night for our President and Owner! First someone takes his parking spot, now someone turns the lights off on him! What else can go wrong...

{A low thundering echoes through the silent arena. The thunder slowly turns into the opening drums of Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People"}

EDGEBROOK: Oh my god...

KING: What? What!?!?

EDGEBROOK: It CAN'T be!

{Half the crowd erupts in recognition of this entrance, while the other half is stunned in silence. White spotlights flash like lightning in harmony with the beat of the drums. As out steps...}

EDGEBROOK: It's ROADKILL!!!

KING: Who?!?

EDGEBROOK: EXACTLY!

{His head cleanly shaven. A goatee on his chiseled face. Cold green eyes. Roadkill walks towards the ring as he emotionlessly stares into the crowd. He is wearing blue denim jeans, a black BJWC t-shirt, and a black leather jacket.

EDGEBROOK: This guy was one of the most toughest, nastiest guys in the Billy Jay era of the BJWC! He won every title there was to win! Definitely one of the greatest superstar in the history of the BJWC!

{Roadkill reaches the ring and rolls in under the bottom rope. He calmly steps up right into the face of Robert Letner, who STILL can't believe his eyes. The two men stand nose-to-nose, neither giving an inch... neither blinking. A sneer crosses Roadkill's face as he backs away and gets himself a microphone. Letner keeps an eye on him. The entire crowd is now caught up in the intensity.}

ROADKILL: Well well well, if it isn't me old pal, Cyris Rav... oops,... I mean, ROBERT LETNER. Look... man... I'm sorry for taking your parking spot, but do you know how TOUGH it is to find parking for my truck around here??

{The crowd cheers to discover it was Roadkill who angered Letner}

LETNER: What... the HELL... are you doing here?

ROADKILL: I'm glad you asked, Robert...

LETNER: That's MISTER LETNER to you, Roadkill. 'Cause in case you hadn't noticed, you're standing in MY ring!

ROADKILL: Very well, MISTER LETNER. I'm glad you asked what I'm doing here, because I was gonna ask YOU the same question. You see, I was sittin' at home one cold November night... I turn on my television... and what do I see?! I see YOUR ugly mug at Clash For The Cup. I see this thing called the Great Lakes Wrestling Alliance. And I see YOU opening your fancy little shirt to show some NWA logo.

{Crowd boos}

LETNER: Get to the point, 'Killer, or get out of my ring.

ROADKILL: My point is... just LOOK at what you've let the BJWC become. You've got a bunch of pansy asses running around... signing endorsement contracts, filming commercials, walking around in bathrobes smoking pipes. What a bunch of spoiled sons of bitches! Gone are the days of hard-working legends, who'd bust their asses day in and day out... guys like Billy Jay, Dan Dehart, Nick Yonce, Tyler Lee, Brian Hart... and yes, even CYRIS RAVEN. But look at you now! Once a hardcore legend. The Robert Letner *I* knew wouldn't be wearing a suit and tie, wouldn't need a gang to back him up, and DEFINITELY wouldn't be running a wrestling company!

LETNER: SEE?! That's the problem, RIGHT THERE. It's the BJWC, it's the Robert Letner you KNEW. Things change, Roadkill. PEOPLE change. And while you retreated off into retirement without even looking back, it was ME carrying the BJWC on my shoulders... it was ME that was winning championships... and it was ME who kept the company alive, even if that meant owning and running the whole damn thing!

ROADKILL: Retreated into retirement?? Son, I didn't leave because I WANTED to. No. I left because of what a JOKE it had become with Brian Steele running things. It all became a goddamn soap opera -- bullshit stories of a twin brother, screwing me out of championships, hell he even hired some bastard doctor to claim Steele was my long-lost half-brother. It was nothing but a joke, so I left. It was a joke then, and from the looks of things...

{Roadkill looks at Robert Letner from head to toe}

ROADKILL: ... it looks like a joke NOW.

***CRRRAAAACK***

EDGEBROOK: Oh my god! Mister Letner just nailed Roadkill across the forehead with the microphone!

{Robert Letner pounds away at the cleanly-shaven head of Roadkill until he strikes blood. His arch BJWC rival now lies in the middle of the GLWA ring wearing a crimson mask. Letner throws away the broken microphone, and takes the one from the lifeless hand of Roadkill}

LETNER: How's THAT for a joke?!? HUH!? Let this be a lesson to you... and to the rest of the GLWA.... do NOT cross the boss! Fact is Roadkill, you were nothing then... and you're nothing NOW! LOOK AT YOU! Nahhh... no, I just can't look at such a piece of trash! I want you out of my sight... OUT OF MY RING! SECURITY! Get your asses down here, and escort Mr. Roadkill OUT OF MY BUILDING!

{The crowd boos as Gund Arena security gather in the ring and drag the bloody Roadkill out}

KING: Hey... Edgebrook... I though you said this guy was one of the baddest in BJWC history! He doesn't look so tough and nasty to ME! HAH!

EDGEBROOK: Well, if I know Roadkill, there's gonna be a little payback on its way!

LETNER: And Mr. Roadkill...since you graced us with your presence at this show... you can grace us with your presence at the next show.

{Letner has a smirk on his face as he leans against the ropes}

LETNER: Next week...the Main Event will be Roadkill versus Jackson Dane...

{Fans pop}

LETNER: ...IN AN IRON MAN MATCH!!!  That will teach you to disrespect me.

{Fans boo}

LETNER: Welcome back to MY BJWC...'Killer!

{Fans cheer and boo as the scene fades out to a GLWA logo, then fades out to nothing}
