{We have a pitch black screen}

V/O: This production has been brought to you by the Great Lakes Wrestling Alliance and the National Wrestling Alliance.

{We fade in to a scene, that looks more like a horror film, than a wrestling show.  Our picture is of a large grassy plain.  The rain is falling down hard as thunder echoes through this valley.  A big flash of lightning strikes, off in the distance, when suddenly Jones steps into the picture}

JONES: At one point they doubted us...

{He takes a few steps back as Ace Slaughter comes into the screen shot}

SLAUGHTER: ...they said that the GLWA was dead.

{Slaughter walks over and stands on the left of Jones.  Rob Torborg enters the picture}

TORBORG: Well it's time to show them the truth...

{Torborg walks over and stands on the right of Jones as Steve Justice steps into the picture}

JUSTICE: ...that the GLWA isn't dead...

{Justice continues the procedure and walks over to stand next to Torborg.  Triple X enters in the picture}

TRIPLE X: ...but in fact, we are very much alive.

{Triple X continues on over next to Justice as Mark Adkins strolls into the picture}

ADKINS: Tonight, marks the dawning of a new era...

{Adkins starts a new line, in front of Slaughter.  Mystery Man steps into the picture}

MM: ..a new beginning for us all.

{Mystery Man walks over and stands in front of Jones.  Eric Bruce steps into view}

BRUCE: A beginning where we will stand tall...

{Bruce takes a few steps back and stands in front of Rob Torborg.  Tommy L. walks over in front of the crowd, the GLWA Brutality Title on his shoulder}

TOMMY L.: ...where we will fight our battles...

{'Mr. Hardcore' continues over to stand in front of Justice.  'Kid Ego' Diesel Warren moves into the picture, with the GLWA MidWest Title around his waist}

WARREN: ...and show we truly belong.

{Da Kid finishes the second line, standing in front of Triple X.  DeathSythe is the next star to stand in front of the camera as the rain still pours down}

DEATHSYTHE: And tonight, for all the world to see, for all the fans to see...

{DeathSythe stands in front of the space in between Adkins and Mystery Man.  Joey Brannon is the last star to enter our little soaked group}

BRANNON: ...we will put on the best show we have ever put on.  So on behalf of the Great Lakes Wrestling Alliance...

{Brannon walks over and stands next to DeathSythe, in front of Tommy L. and Warren.  Finally, President Letner steps into the picture}

LETNER: ...welcome to Hell On Earth!!!

{Letner smiles and takes a step back.  A loud crack of thunder echoes as our camera pans back and we see all thirteen men, standing in the rain.  Our scene cuts to the 'Hell On Earth' logo}
 

{The logo slowly fades out to show the outside of the Conseco Fieldhouse.  The opening cords to 'Slither' by Velvet Revolver begins to blare out of the speakers}

#When you seek me you destroy me
Rip my mind and smell the poppy's
Fallen blood in every single time

{A picture of Jones hitting the Jones Bomb on Ace Slaughter}

#Always keep me under finger
That's the spot where you might linger
But I see sometime the pleasure in my mind

#Yeah, here comes the water
It's come to wash away the sins of you and I
This time you see
Like holy water
It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry
This time with me

{Cut to the ring}

First Blood Match
Steve Justice vs. Nightmare

King: But, here comes the cavalry.

[Numerous ring officials come running to the ring. Justice spats on nightmare and one more swing of his kendo stick, then leaves in a quick hurry. As Justice is at ringside, he continues his tirade by spitting out profanity towards a bleeding Nightmare. Then Justice gives Nightmare one more good swift kick into his mid-section, then leaves the ring.]

King: That was one brutal match.

Edgebrook: It sure was, but I believe this issue between Justice and Nightmare is FAR-AR-AR from over!!

KING: That man needs some help.

BODIN: So do you!

KING: Yeah.  I need help finding a worthwhile match to watch.  Let's go to the ring and see if our next match is going to be any good.

EDGEBROOK: Well Eric Bruce is already in the ring, waiting for Rob Torborg.

Pick Your Own Stips
Rob Torborg vs. Eric Bruce

{Eric Bruce leans against the ropes, waiting for Rob Torborg to come.  A couple seconds pass by and there isn't even music}

{Eric shakes his head at the easy win}

COMMERCIAL

{We open in a gym, with only one light which is shining down onto an old dusty ring. There is something in the middle the ring, but we are to far away to tell. Slowly, the camera begins to move towards it}

{The voice fades away as the light shines off the GLWA Dreamers Cup}

COMMERCIAL

{Cut back to the ring}

EDGEBROOK: That will be awesome this year.

KING: It's a shame that Stallion can't be here this year to defend his Cup.  He does get that automatic bid, if he wants.

EDGEBROOK: Yeah, but that is up to him.

KING: Maybe Tommy can talk him into coming back.

{King smiles big}

EDGEBROOK: While you are daydreaming, let's get down to our next battle.

KING: Yeah, Tommy has to defend his title against that good for nothing, Slaughter.

{King growls as Edgebrook just shakes his head}

MORE LATER IN THE SHOW...

{We find ourselves back in the arena.  The ring has a red covering on it, the ropes covered in ribbon.  In the middle of the ring, is a podium and a table with two plaques on it}

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and Gentleman.  He needs no introduction...he is the President and Owner of the GLWA, ROBERT LETNER!!!

{'Anxiety' by Black Eyed Peas blares out of the sound system as Letner steps out from behind the curtains}

{The fans all cheer as he walks down the red carpet and then slides into the ring}

{He steps up to the podium as the music fades out}

LETNER: Hello folks.  I would personally like to thank all of you who are watching Hell On Earth tonight, for coming.  Now our great country had experienced it's own Hell on Earth, just a few weeks ago.  Hurricane Katrina ripped through the Gulf, like it was nothing.  And since everyone else is helping, I will too.

{Fans clap}

LETNER: If you remember last year, Hurricane Ivan ripped through southern Florida, tearing up a lot of places.  And that is why we held the first ever GLWA PPV; Guts, Gold and Glory, down in Tampa Bay.  Now this year, I would love nothing more to have had Hell on Earth in the Superdome, but Katrina beat me to the punch.  That is why I would like to tell everyone in the arena and everyone at home watching, that EVERY SINGLE penny raised by this PPV, will be shipped directly to the victims of Hurricane Katrina.  Every cent this show makes, will be donated to those whose lives have been torn apart by Hurricane Katrina.

{Fans pop}

LETNER: Now that I've said that, let's get to what we are here for.  The first two inductees into the Great Lakes Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame.

{More cheering}

LETNER Well we had voting and we had ballots and we had close calls.  But after a few months of obtaining votes, we have two clear cut inductees.  So lets get this party started.

{Letner shuffles some papers on the podium as the fans go quiet}

LETNER: The first Inductee has been with the Great Lakes Wrestling Alliance, before it was the GLWA.  He was a member of Billy Jay's Wrestling Alliance and a good friend of mine.  He has been BJWC Heavyweight Champ, GLWA Heavyweight Champ, GLWA Tag Champ, GLWA MidWest Champ and even NWA Tag Team Champ with Shane Andrews.

{Some female fans begin to scream as they know who it is}

LETNER: He stood beside me in Hardcore Annihilation as well as C.O.R.E.

{Letner smiles as even more fans begin to cheer}

LETNER: And now to add to his illustrious career...he is the FIRST Inductee into the GLWA Hall of Fame.  Here he is...all the way from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

{Letner pauses as the arena is on the hinge of exploding}

LETNER: HERE HE IS...KID EGO...DIESEL...WARREN!!!

{The roof blows off the place}

KING: Kid Ego is the first inductee?

EDGEBROOK: Hell yeah, he is.

{'The Anthem' by Good Charlotte pumps out of the sound system as current GLWA MidWest Champion, 'Kid Ego' Diesel Warren, walks out onto the entrance ramp.  He poses for a second as pictures are taken all over the arena, then continues down the ramp along the red carpet}

KING: Stallion better be next.

EDGEBROOK: Don't ruin this for him.

{Warren makes his way to the ring and slides in under the ropes.  The music ends as Letner grabs one of the plaques}

LETNER: Diesel...you and I have had quite a past together.  From friends, to enemies, to friends, to enemies...it's like one long roller coaster.  So tonight, I'd like to be the first one to say congratulations.

{Kid Ego shakes Letner's hand and takes the plaque.  President Letner then steps out of the way, ready for Kid Ego to talk}

EGO: Well, I can't say much, but thank you.  I believe it is an honor and a privilege to be the first person inducted into the GLWA Hall of Fame.  I've stood in these halls since it was the BJWC.  Except for the time I was in a car accident, I have tried to wrestle to the best of my ability.  I wanted to prove to my friend and President, Robert, that I could live up to the standards that the BJWC Legends have been.  And I personally feel I have done that.

{Ego begins to get a little emotional}

EGO: Tonight, I would like to thank everyone in the back who has helped me through difficult times.  I'd like to thank Letner for giving me so many chances.  And I'd like to thank you, the fan, for supporting me as much as you can.  I believe I've accomplished a great deal in my GLWA career.  I've held the GLWA Heavyweight Title, I've even held the GLWA MidWest Title and for the few that remember...I've held the GLWA Tag Team Titles.  But, I feel that this is all I can accomplish.

{More emotions}

EGO: With my wife wanting to start a family, I feel it is about time I tried.  I know a lot of you have paid good money to see me wrestle tonight, but instead you get me retirement speech.

KING: WHAT???

{Letner shakes his head, since he's known}

EGO: I've already talked it over with Robert here, in the back.  He understands my position and wishes me the best of luck.  He also said it is fine that instead of fighting tonight...I can just hand the GLWA MidWest Title over to Jones.  Both Letner and I feel he has deserved it.  So fans...I would like like to take my last opportunity to tell you good-bye and I hope you find someone to adore more then me.

{Ego smiles, just playing around.  Suddenly Jones' music begins to play over the sound system}

{Jones walks out of the back, to a loud cheer}

EDGEBROOK: I guess Jones is coming out for the GLWA MidWest Title.

KING: This is bullshit.  You can't just HAND someone a title.

EDGEBROOK: Weren't you the one who liked the idea that when Letner retired from active wrestling, that he handed the NWA World Television Title over to Jason Stallion?

KING: Shut up.

{Jones finds his way down the aisle and into the ring, next to the podium}

{Ego offers the GLWA MidWest Title out to Jones, but Jones pushes it away and shakes his head}

JONES: Diesel, you have been one of my favorites since I've started working here in the GLWA.  You've stood tall to Team NWA and you've done the things you've wanted.  BUT...I am going to respectfully decline the GLWA MidWest Title.  I respect you enough, not to just take it from around your waist.  It true Kid Ego fashion, I would much more like to win it outright...and not just have it handed to me.

{Letner shakes his head in approval, admiring the respectfulness of Jones}

JONES: So Warren, let me be one of the first people to tell you that we will miss you in the locker room.  Good luck in whatever you do.

{Kid Ego and Jones shake hands as Kid Ego's music blares over the sound system.  Kid Ego hands the MidWest Title to Letner, while they shake hands}

{Jones and Kid Ego leave the ring and find their way back up the entrance ramp, then back behind the curtain}

{The music ends}

LETNER: Well...I bet that caught everyone off guard.  It looks like we're going to have to find a way to crown a new GLWA MidWest Champ.

{Letner smirks}

LETNER: We'll take four men, excluding Jones, and toss their names into the bowl.  Since Jones had some respect, I'll still give him his shot at the next Primetime.  But he will have to go through the Gauntlet to win the title.

{Fans pop}

LETNER: He will have to go through Mark Adkins, Steve Justice, Eric Bruce AND the loser of tonight's GLWA Heavyweight Title match.

{Fans pop louder}

LETNER: I will randomly pick the order at the beginning of the show, to keep it fair.  So next week...when we visit Columbus, Ohio...if Jones wants to earn that MidWest Title outright, he'll have to go through four other men to do so.

{Fans cheer louder as Letner smirks}

LETNER: Okay, now it's time to announce the second and final Two-thousand five GLWA Hall of Fame inductee.

{Letner looks through the papers again}

KING: Stallion has this one in the bag.

LETNER: This man came into the GLWA without a care in the world.  You can even say, he was a family guy.

KING: Yep, it's Stallion.

LETNER: He has not only won the GLWA Brutality Title...but he is a two time GLWA MidWest Champ.

KING: But...Stallion never won the MidWest Title?

{Fans begin to cheer}

LETNER: He is the NWA Two-thousand and five Super J Tournament winner AND NWA X CHAMPION!!!

{Fans let it out, as they now know who it is}

LETNER: And tonight...he can become the FIRST TRIPLE CROWN WINNER IN GLWA HISTORY by winning the GLWA Heavyweight Title.  HE IS...JOEY...BRRRRAAAAANNNNOOOOOOON!!!

{Fans explode}

{Letner and the fans look to the entrance ramp as 'United States of Whatever' blare out of the speakers as Joey Brannon steps out from behind the curtains}

EDGEBROOK: He looks like a deer caught out in the headlights.

{Joey is obviously shocked, as he has the NWA X Championship Title over his shoulder}

LETNER: Come on down, Joey.

{Brannon makes his way down the entrance ramp}

KING: I can't believe this.  I want a recount on the votes.  Stallion was SCREWED!!!

{Joey slides into the ring and is instantly handed a plaque.  Letner then ushers him to the podium}

BRANNON: Thank you very much Mr. Letner, and thank you to everyone who voted for me.

[Applause.]

BRANNON: It's an absolute honor to be elected into the GLWA Hall of Fame along side Kid Ego. I'm honored, but shocked all at the same time. This is a company that has done a lot in just one full year. We've seen many Heavyweight Champions, and we've seen NWA World, Television and Tag Team Champions come through here. The fact that I, although NWA "X" Champion, was picked for this ahead for people like Jason Stallion and Mr. Letner himself who have worn the World Television and Heavyweight Championships is really something. I am absolutely blown away. Seriously, thank you to each and every person out there that voted. I never realized I had so much support.

[Brannon stops and turns away from the camera as he fights back tear.]

BRANNON: I'm going to blubber like a baby in another minute, so I'll wrap it up now. Just thank you once again. From the bottom of my heart.

{His music blares out of the speakers once again as Letner shakes Joey's hand}

{We watch them talk for a couple seconds, then fade out to the back}

[The camera cuts backstage to the showers, where we see Ace Slaughter and his Brutality title in the shower.]

KING: That is just disgusting.

[Suddenly a figure slowly creeps up behind Ace.  The figure grabs the title and then slams it across the back of Ace's head.]

EDGEBROOK: What the HELL?

[The figure turns around, revealing a mask with a red rose in the middle of it.]

KING: It's Mystery Man!  He's going after what's his!

[Mystery Man pulls Ace to his feet and shoves his face directly under the shower head, before turning on all the hot water.]

MM: What's the matter Ace?  Can't stand the heat?

[Mystery Man grabs Ace around the neck and drops him throat first onto his neck.  Mystery Man covers Ace as a referee slides into position.]

CLANG!!!

KING: Someone just laid into Mystery man with a steel chair.

{Camera pans out to see a familiar face}

EDGEBROOK: IT'S BRANDON LLOYD!!!

KING: Not another BJWC revival.

EDGEBROOK: Goliath is back in the GLWA and he just stopped Mystery Man from winning the Brutality Title.

LLOYD: Real men identify themselves, they don't hide behind masks.  Real men win Brutality Titles by force, not attacking a man in the shower.

{Lloyd drops the chair and walks away}

{Back to the announcers}

EDGEBROOK: I can't believe it.  Brandon Lloyd is back???

KING: Yeah and he's got Mystery Man in his sights.

GLWA MIDWEST TITLE MATCH
Best 2 of 3 Falls
'Kid Ego' Diesel Warren vs. Jones
 

EDGEBROOK: Well as explained in the Hall of Fame announcement earlier, Kid Ego has retired and Jones refuses to take the belt by just having it handed to him.  So I do apologize to all you folks who were tuned in JUST to watch this match.

KING: Of course the question is, why did you pay forty bucks to just watch one match?

{Silence}

KING: Well it's not my place to ask, but the Katrina victims will certainly thank you for your donation.

EDGEBROOK: Next week looks killer though.  Jones will have to go through a gauntlet, to win the GLWA MidWest Title.  With four men to go through, this could be the real test for Jones.

KING: Mark Adkins, Steve Justice, Eric Bruce and the loser of tonight's Main Event?  Yeah, he has a lot to prove in Columbus.

{'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Green Day, blares out of the speakers}

KING: Not him again.  I'm tired of seeing him.

{Mystery Man walks out, holing the back of his head.  He slowly makes his way down to the ring}

EDGEBROOK: Wonder what he's got to say.

{Mystery Man slides into the ring as his music fades.  He is handed a microphone}

MM: For the past couple months, I've been tearing at myself.  Should I reveal who I am...or shouldn't I?  Should the world know the man behind the mask...or shouldn't they?

{Mystery Man rubs at the back of his head again}

MM: And one man answered that for me.  Brandon Lloyd, you have no idea who you are dealing with.  You tell me that a real man doesn't hide behind a mask.  Well fine...then it is settled.  You may think you are dealing with a rookie, but it's time to reveal the truth.

{Mystery Man undoes the strings on his mask}

KING: I'm jumping for fricking joy. [sarcasm]

MM: I hope Letner is listening, cause right now...I challenge you to Hardcore Rules Match...at the next Primetime.  Winner becomes the number 1 contender for the GLWA Brutality Title.

KING: Just take off the damn mask already.

MM: Now it's time to reveal that Mystery Man is not only a two time GLWA Brutality Champ...

{He takes off his mask to reveal it is actually Vice President Nightmare}

NIGHTMARE: BUT I AM FOUR TIME GLWA BRUTALITY CHAMPION!!!

{Fans pop}

EDGEBROOK: I can't believe it.

KING: He's still a idiot.

NIGHTMARE: A real man would accept my challenge Brandon Lloyd.  A real man will prove his worth.  See you at Primetime.

::MAIN EVENT::
GLWA HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE MATCH
Steel Cage Ladder Match
Joey Brannon vs. DeathSythe

Taylor: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time, for our MAIN EVENT of the evening!!!

[Big time crowd pop.]

#Whatever!

[The unmistakable chords of 'United States of Whatever' by Liam Lynch begin to play in the arena. The fans all come to their feet and cheer like mad as blue spotlights focus on the entryway.]

Taylor: Introducing first, from Columbus, Ohio!

[A series of small, quick, white explosions begin to go off at ringside and work their way up the aisle. Within about two seconds they get all the way to the curtains and a much larger explosion rocks the Conseco Field house. Out from the curtains shoots Joey Brannon. Joey's wearing his full-length blue tights with the red and white stars up each leg, and of course his white Columbus Blue Jackets NHL jersey.]

Taylor: Weighing in tonight at 181Lbs...

[Brannon lifts up the jersey exposing the NWA 'X' Championship title with one hand and high-fives the lucky fans in the front row with the other as he
heads towards the ring.]

Taylor: He is the National Wrestling Alliance's 'X' Champion...

[Joey makes his way to the door in the imposing steel cage. He stops for just a moment before stepping through the steel and ropes into the ring. He heads for the turnbuckles and uses the cage to climb a little higher than usual. He pumps his fists to get some noise from the sold-out crowd. He hops down and removes the belt then holds it high above his head before handing it off to the referee.]

Edgebrook: Both men come into this main event wearing gold, but Joey's is much more impressive.

King: That might have something to do with the fact that DeathSythe's belt is now defunct. He needs to win this match tonight just to keep up with the Jones.

[Brannon checks out the ladder as his entrance theme fades off. He climbs halfway up the ladder and stares towards the entryway as he awaits his opponent.]

Edgebrook: The lights are out, what's going on.

KING: Here we go, here back on...AND DEATHSYTHE IS IN THE RING WITH JOEY BRANNON!!!  DeathSythe has a smirk on his face as he holds the HSW Shooting Star Title over his shoulder.

{DeathSythe clears his throat as Joey turns and jumps down off the ladder}

{The ref takes both the NWA X Championship Title and the HSW Shooting Star Title}

*DING, DING, DING*

EDGEBROOK: The cage door shuts and both men are staring at the ladder that is standing in the middle of the ring.  All they have to do is climb that ladder and grab the GLWA Heavyweight Title.

KING: DeathSythe acts first, charging towards the ladder.  He gets up two steps before Brannon grabs him around the waist, SUPLEX off the ladder.  Both men quickly up to their feet.

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe charges the ladder again, but Joey Brannon charges, SPEAR!!!  Joey Brannon is on top of DeathSythe, throwing punches like a mad man.

KING: But the referee breaks it up and is warning Joey about the use of fists.

EDGEBROOK: Brannon looks like he is on the edge tonight.  DeathSythe may be one hell of an athlete, but I'm not too sure I would want to be locked in a steel cage with Brannon right now.

KING: The ref is still talking to Joey.  DeathSythe is up...AND HE'S GOING BACK FOR THE LADDER.

EDGEBROOK: He's trying to end it early.  Joey pushes past the ref and slams shoulder first into the ladder.

KING: It's shaking and DeathSythe is trying to hold on for deer life.

EDGEBROOK: Brannon runs back, bounces off the ropes...charges...and...

SLAM!!!

EDGEBROOK: BRANNON JUST LAID HIS SHOULDER INTO THE LADDER.  DeathSythe and the ladder have both fallen and DeathSythe has fallen just short of the ropes.

KING: Brannon runs towards DeathSythe, he runs past him?  Wait...he jumps onto the ropes...MOONSAULT BY THE X CHAMPION.

BAM!!!

EDGEBROOK: And he hit it!!!

KING: Brannon to his feet.  He is eyeing up that GLWA Heavyweight Title.  AND HE'S GOING FOR IT!!!  Brannon pushes the ladder upright and begins to climb it.

EDGEBROOK: HE'S AT THE TOP!!!  All he has to do is reach up and grab it.  Wait...what is he doing?

KING: He is measuring up DeathSythe.  SHOOTING STAR PRESS OFF THE TOP OF THAT TWENTY FOOT LADDER!!!

{Flashbulbs pop}

EDGEBROOK: DEATHSYTHE MOVED AND BRANNON LANDED HARD!!!  DeathSythe is up.  The HSW Shooting Star Champ jumps up onto the top rope, bounces off...turning in mid-air...LEG DROP ACROSS BRANNON'S THROAT!!!

KING: How the hell did he do that?

EDGEBROOK: He was the HSW's Shooting Star Champ.

KING: DeathSythe sets up the ladder.  Wait...he is looking down at Joey Brannon...and smiling.  He grabs Joey and pulls him right up next to the ladder.  AND HE SLAMS THE LADDER DOWN ONTO BRANNON!!!

EDGEBROOK: That looks like it hurt.  Brannon is just laying there, with the ladder across his body, long ways..  What is DeathSythe doing?

KING: Throwing his own GLWA welcome party.  DeathSythe goes to the cage and starts climbing.

EDGEBROOK: This doesn't look good.

KING: No, it looks fun.  DeathSythe is on top of the cage.  With just enough jump, he can grab the GLWA Heavyweight Title.

EDGEBROOK: I don't think it's the title he's going for.  Here he goes...he jumps...HE'S GOING FOR A FROG SPLASH!!!

CLANG!!!

KING: AND JOEY BRANNON KICKED THE LADDER UP, HITTING DEATHSYTHE IN THE FACE.  DeathSythe has fallen backwards, onto the mat, while Joey is trying to catch his breath.

EDGEBROOK: I think DeathSythe is out cold.

KING: Joey is slowly, dragging himself to the ropes.

EDGEBROOK: We are barely into this match and both men are already hurt.

KING: And?

EDGEBROOK: And do we really think we should be risking our wrestler�s lives?

KING: If the lawyers wouldn't of gotten involved, this would of been a Modified Pure Hell match.  So James, I suggest you be happy with this.

EDGEBROOK: Anyway.  Brannon has found his way to his feet.  He pulls DeathSythe to his feet.  Irish whip into the ropes.  Brannon ducks down, getting ready for a back-body drop.  DEATHSYTHE STOPS!!!  SCISSOR KICK AND BRANNON IS DOWN!!!

KING: Well the tide of this match just turned quick.

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe touches his forehead, which has been cut open by the ladder.  The blood is just trickling down his face.

KING: He doesn't seem to care though.  He picks Joey Brannon up...SIT-DOWN POWERBOMB AND JOEY BRANNON IS LIFELESS!!!

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe sees his opening and he is going for it.  He sets the ladder up in the middle of the ring and is starting up the ladder.

KING: This could be it for Joey.  He'll be going back to Columbus, without any GLWA Titles.

EDGEBROOK: That very well could be.  DeathSythe is almost at the top.  He's reaching for the title...he's almost got it.

KING: JOEY IS UP!!!  DeathSythe doesn't even notice as Joey runs over and starts climbing up the other side.

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe is at the top and he's reaching...HE'S TOUCHING THE BELT!!!

KING: JOEY IS RIGHT THERE!!!  He hits DeathSythe with a shoulder to the gut.  DeathSythe doubles over in pain.

EDGEBROOK: Someone is going to to get hurt...I can sense it.

KING: Joey grabs DeathSythe...oh this can't be good.

EDGEBROOK: I can't look.

{Flashbulbs pop}

THUD!!!

KING: JOEY BRANNON WITH THE WHATEVER DRIVER OFF THE TOP OF THAT TWENTY-FOOT LADDER!!!  DEATHSYTHE HAS TO BE DEAD FROM THAT IMPACT!!!

EDGEBROOK: Well neither man is moving.

KING: Well after that drop, do you expect them to?

EDGEBROOK: Wait�Joey rolls over onto his stomach.  He gets up to his feet, grabbing at his head.

KING: Headache�s suck.

EDGEBROOK: He grabs DeathSythe by the hair and pulls him to his feet.

KING: That�s a lot of dead weight.

EDGEBROOK: DROPKICK TO THE BACK!!!  DeathSythe just went face first into the steel cage side.  Meanwhile, Joey is still trying to catch his breath on the mat.

KING: Death�s face is nothing more than a crimson mask, right now.  He is simply covered in blood.  DeathSythe crumbles into a mess against the ropes.

EDGEBROOK: This doesn't bode to well for the HSW-refugee.

KING: Joey Brannon  is eyeing up that ladder.  The question is...will he use it to grab the title or to go after DeathSythe.

EDGEBROOK: Well both men have come close, only to either refuse to grab it...or have the chance taken away.

KING:  I think Brannon wants to end it here.  He is climbing up the ladder.  He's halfway up....

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe is starting to stir.

KING: Brannon to the top...

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe looks up through his blood-crusted hair and sees Joey up at the top.

KING: He's got his hand on it.  All he has to do is unsnap the title and he wins.  NO!!!  DEATHSYTHE JUST DROPKICKED THE LADDER!!!

THUD!!!

EDGEBROOK: Brannon landed hard on the mat.  Both men look beat.  Wait...DeathSythe is trying to pin Joey Brannon?

KING: The ref is telling DeathSythe that he has to climb the ladder.

EDGEBROOK: All this pain must of effected his brain. 

KING: He pulls Joey to his feet and drapes him across the ladder.

EDGEBROOK: I think Brannon is out cold...NO!!!  Joey Brannon out of nowhere with a hit to the face.  Brannon up to his feet.  He grabs DeathSythe by the arm...IRISH WHIP TO THE CORNER!

KING: Joey takes a step back, charges DeathSythe...AND SPLASHES DEATHSYTHE!!!  This could be it folks.

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe stumbles out of the corner.  Joey bounces off the ropes...SUPERKICK!!!  NO...DEATHSYTHE DUCKED!!!  DeathSythe drops down...LOW BLOW!!!

KING: Ouch.  DeathSythe just low blowed Joey Brannon.

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe is now climbing the cage.

KING: Someone want to tell him that escaping the cage won't do it.  Although, he's been known to fly. Think he could reach the belt by jumping from there?

EDGEBROOK: I wouldn't bet against it.

[Brannon begins to move from his prone position on the mat as DeathSythe continues his assent.]

EDGEBROOK: Looks like Brannon is giving chase up the side of the cage.

KING: Why isn't he going up the ladder?

EDGEBROOK: Both of these men have taken a beating. I doubt either one are thinking straight right now.

[Brannon grabs a hold of DeathSythe's tights and slows him up. DS kicks at Brannon, but the Columbus native manages to get along side.]

EDGEBROOK: Brannon firing away with some elbows.

KING: But DeathSythe is chopping back!

[Brannon manages to get the upper hand as he kicks DeathSythe in the hip. He grabs DS' head and rams it into the steel structure, leaving DeathSythe dangling.]

***CRASH!***

Crowd: HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!

EDGEBROOK: WOW! Joey Brannon with a side Russian leg sweep off the side of that cage! What impact!

KING: Both men down though James. I'm not sure who took the worst of it?

EDGEBROOK: Well both men are starting to stir.

KING: Joey to his feet slowly...DeathSythe up right in front of him.  Death throws a punch, it connects...knocking Brannon back a little.  Joey swings, but it is blocked.  DeathSythe swings...IT CONNECTS AND JOEY IS STUMBLING BACKWARDS!!!

EDGEBROOK: This is getting intense.  DeathSythe grabs Joey, whips him into the ropes.  Joey comes flying back and DeathSythe drops for a back body drop.

KING: Dumbass, he reversed this move earlier on Joey.  What makes him think HE can do it?

EDGEBROOK: Not sure, but it won't happen.  Joey stops in front of DS, grabs him around the neck...Runs Towards The Corner...ACID DROP ONTO DEATHSYTHE.

{Fans cheer}

KING: Joey takes awhile to get up, but he grabbed that ladder.  He is going for the prize.  He has it set-up and DeathSythe is on his knees.

EDGEBROOK: This ring is covered in blood.

KING: Joey starts up the ladder...DEATHSYTHE GOES TO THE OTHER SIDE.

EDGEBROOK: It's a race now.

KING:  Both men hurry up the ladder...and they meet up top.

EDGEBROOK: The winner of this King of The Hill, may just well be champion.

KING: Aren't we smart.  Death connects with a right...and another right.  Joey is barely hanging onto the ladder.

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe grabs Joey's face...AND SLAMS IT ONTO THE TOP RUNG!!!  JOEY IS BUSTED OPEN AND BARELY HANGING ON!!!

KING: DeathSythe goes for the finish...he grabs Joey's head to do it again...NO!!! BLOCKED!!!  Joey grabs Death's head.  AND HE IS SLAMMING IT OFF THE LADDER!!!

CROWD: 1...

2...

3...

4...

KING: Joey looks DeathSythe straight in the eyes...AND HE HITS HIM WITH A HUGE RIGHT THAT SENDS DEATHSYTHE OFF OF THE LADDER.

THUD!!!

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe landed hard and he is not moving.

KING: Joey reaches up...he's got both hands on the belt.

EDGEBROOK: HE DID IT!!!  HE GOT IT UNHOOKED!!!

*DING, DING*

ANNOUNCER: Ladies and gentleman, your winner AND NEW GREAT LAKES WRESTLING ALLIANCE...HEEEEEAAAVVVYYYYWEIGHT CHAMPION...JOEY...BRANNON!!!

{Fans explode}

KING: I can't believe he did it.

EDGEBROOK: Neither can he, he ha climbed down the ladder and is holding the GLWA Heavyweight Title to his chest.

KING: What a match! Joey Brannon has won the GLWA title in a brutal contest.

EDGEBROOK: DeathSythe gave it his all but he couldn�t come out ahead of Joey Brannon.

(Suddenly, Westside Story by the Game begins to play over the PA the crowd begins to boo.)

KING: That�s the music of former William Muldoon heritage champion, and Lou Thesz competitor Demonio De la Sangre Two. What�s he doing here in GLWA?

(Clap! Clap! Clap!)

EDGEBROOK: Well it seems he�s giving Brannon an ovation.

(Demonio walks out from the back dressed in black leather pants and a tight black sleeveless t-shirt. He wears his black mask as he walks towards the ring with a mic in his hand. His other hand holds a clipboard. He eyes Joey Brannon up as he approaches him outside the steel cage.)

DDlS II: I gotta give it up for you ese, that was one hell of a match. I can see why you�re the NWA X champion and the GLWA champion, holmes.

(Demonio glances down at his clipboard.)

DDlS II: You know what this says, ese?

KING: Demonio has no business here in GLWA.

EDGEBROOK: Well he was a free agent.

DDlS II: This ese, is a contract for Demonio De la Sangre two to sign for G-L-Dubya-A!

(The crowd boos.)

DDlS II: If I sign this Joey it means that I�m going to get to own your ass in that ring, week in and week out. Do you want me to sign this Joey?

(Before Joey can answer Demonio suckers him with the mic. The crowd boos.)

KING: Demonio is pounding on Brannon!

(Smash!)

EDGEBROOK: Demonio just smashed the face of Brannon into the steel cage, blood is dripping down Brannon�s face.

DDlS II: I�m going to sign it, Joey, with your blood.

(Another punch from Demonio before he dips is finger into the blood dripping down Brannon�s face. He then signs the contract with it.)

EDGEBROOK: That was disgusting!

KING: He just sign the contract in blood, Demonio is in the GLWA!

EDGEBROOK: This isn�t good news for Joey Brannon or the GLWA roster!

(Demonio holds the GLWA title for the cameras and poses over Brannon before dropping the title and walking away)

KING: This is Richard King.

EDGEBROOK: And this is James Edgebrook, wishing you and yours, a goodnight.  We will see all of you at Columbus, Ohio...on Primetime.
