[The screen goes black as the countdown to the PPV finishes. White letters come up on the screen, reading simply: "WARNING: The following program may be unsuitable for some viewers. Discretion is advised." This is replaced by a spinning LCW logo, as "Alone in the Universe" by David Usher begins to play. For the next few minutes, your mind is deluged with shots of LCW past and present, finishing with a shot of Johnny Wannabe running away from the ring after winning the LCW World Heavyweight Title from "The Natural" Mike Bell. This is replaced by another shot of the LCW logo. The scene switches to a view of the arena, showing the full seats, and a show of fireworks announcing the beginning of the broadcast to those in attendance. We then cut to the announcer's table, where Jimmy Williams sits patiently, awaiting his cue.]
Jimmy: Hello, hello all to Lethal Lottery 2001! I'm your host tonight, Jimmy Williams, and we've got a jam-packed show set up for you! We're starting things off with an exciting match, as the Hardcore Title is on the line as champion Angel of Death takes on his arch-rival STEALTH in Hell in a Cell! Following that, we have the second round of the Lethal Lottery Tournament, as the team of The Unibomber and "IRA" Sean Fein takes on the team of Jesse Wannabe and "MIR" Bruce Nichol, the winners of which will face each other with a shot at the World Heavyweight Title in February on the line! Between the second and final rounds of the tournament, we have the World Tag Team Titles on the line as Wealth and Power get one final shot at champions Team Danger, and the World Women's Title is on the line as all four ladies in the division go toe to toe in a fatal four-way match, with one fall to a finish. After the finals of the tournament, the top two titles in the LCW are up for grabs as "The Southwestern Icon" Texas Lightning takes on "The Sasquatch" Jacob Lawrence for the World Television Title, and Jim Roberts faces Johnny Wannabe for the World Heavyweight Title! Such a busy show, we can't talk much longer! Let's get underway!
[Cut to a shot of the entryway.]
Hell in a Cell for the LCW Hardcore Title: STEALTH vs. Angel of Death (c)
Ray: The following contest is a Hell in a Cell match scheduled for one fall, and is for the LCW Hardcore Title!
[The lights go out and fans begin to cheer. "The Unforgiven II" by Metallica starts and the fans are going NUTS. Just as the intro goes into the music, fireworks explode in the ring and from the rafters. STEALTH then is lowered from the ceiling to a spot in the crowd. His arms are raised in the air as he hits the floor. He unclips himself and slowly walks to the ring. With red strobe-lights flashing, STEALTH enters the ring and stands in the centre. He throws his arms into the air and red fireworks erupt from the four turnbuckles as well as the rafters! When the fireworks fade, the lights come up and the music fades out!]
Ray: Introducing first, the challenger. From parts unknown, he weighs in at 270 pounds. Here he is, the man, the legend, STEALTH!
[STEALTH poses for the fans as flashbulbs go off all around him. Suddenly, the opening beats of "Angel of Death" by Slayer test the subwoofers in the arena as the house lights go dark. A single white spotlight focuses on the entranceway, where Angel of Death stands, his head bowed, his shoulder length hair fallen in his face, and his arms outstretched ever so slightly, palms raised in a sign of benevolence. On the screen, a picture of the statue that stands between Angel of Death's parent's graves is shown, looking very much like AOD, in the same position. His wife and valet Black Widow steps from backstage, dressed in a long black dress with a web motif, carrying his sledgehammer. She puts her hand lightly on his shoulder, and he flips his head up, sending his hair back behind him, and they make their way to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope as she climbs the ringsteps. He holds the ropes open for her, and she quickly climbs into the ring. They stand in the center of the ring, united, as shots of red pyro shoot from the corners of the ring, and from either side of the entranceway.]
Ray: His opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, he weighs in at 185 pounds. Accompanied in the ring by Black Widow, here is the Hardcore Champion, Angel of Death!
[AOD works the fans to an eruption of boos as the referee escorts Black Widow out of the cage. She makes her way back to the dressing rooms. The referee returns to the cage, and the door is locked.]
Jimmy: Well, both men are alone in that ring, save for the referee, as the bell sounds to get this underway. Now, Angel of Death did call for a normal Hell in a Cell match, but the championship committee decided that there should be extra weapons in there, since this is a hardcore match. So they've attached trash cans full of weapons at each corner of the cell, and placed a trash can in the center of the ring, full of weapons. AOD and STEALTH are circling each other, both of them eyeing the trash can in the middle of the ring as well as each other. Finally, AOD jumps forward, snatching a kendo stick from the trash can as STEALTH does the same, grabbing a stop sign. They continue their circling, neither one wanting to allow themselves to make the first move, as it may be a mistake which could cost them.
[Finally, AOD lunges forward, swinging the kendo stick wildly at STEALTH, who is forced to use the stop sign as a shield to ward off the attack. AOD finishes the initial surge forward with a solid kick to the stop sign, which sends STEALTH into the ropes.]
Jimmy: AOD broke the pattern, backing STEALTH right to the ropes. STEALTH bounces off, swinging the stop sign at his rival. AOD side steps STEALTH, connecting with the kendo stick right across the small of the back. STEALTH staggers under the blow, allowing AOD to bring the kendo stick across the small of his back yet again. STEALTH drops the sign as he reaches for his back, and he falls through the middle ropes to the floor. AOD drops the kendo stick on the mat, springing up onto the top turnbuckle in one swift movement. STEALTH turns as AOD comes crashing down with a devastating corkscrew tope suicida!
[Both men tumble to the floor, with AOD getting to his feet first. He grabs a metal crutch from the trash can in the nearest corner, smashing it across the weaker of STEALTH's knees as he was getting to his feet. STEALTH drops like a sack of potatoes, clutching his knee. AOD charges in, but STEALTH stands up in time to send AOD sprawling with a drop toe hold. STEALTH gingerly climbs onto the ring apron before dropping a leg across the back of AOD's neck. He rolls the champion onto his back. (One, Kickout!)]
Jimmy: A close call for the challenger as he is still favouring his knee. He picks up AOD by the hair, whipping him into the cage. AOD hits hard, and bounces off, allowing STEALTH to hit him with a hard clothesline to the back of the head. AOD is sent face-first to the floor once more. STEALTH picks up the ring steps, bringing them crashing down across the lower back of AOD. AOD moves out of the way of the second shot, causing STEALTH to drop the steps from the shock. AOD gets to his feet as STEALTH rests his ringing hands, and charges in with a swinging neckbreaker that drops STEALTH across the fallen ringsteps. AOD covers. (One, Kickout!)
[AOD is visibly upset at the one count. He picks up STEALTH by the hair, and rolls him back into the ring. AOD slides into the ring after him, and sets him up for a piledriver.]
Jimmy: STEALTH counters the piledriver with a back body drop! AOD gets up slowly as STEALTH attempts to regain a steady vertical base. AOD kicks STEALTH in the midsection, then stands over the stop sign that STEALTH dropped near the beginning of the match. He pulls STEALTH over to him, and puts him into position again for a piledriver. He picks him up, and MY GOD! AOD has just piledriven STEALTH onto the stop sign! He's not going for the cover! What is he doing?
[AOD goes over to the trash can in the middle of the ring, and empties the contents onto the mat as STEALTH moves over to the corner and uses the ropes to get to his feet.]
Jimmy: AOD is frantically searching through the contents of the trash can as STEALTH slowly gets to his feet. AOD is smiling, I think he's found what he was looking for. He raises his hand in the air, showing the crowd what he was looking for! It's a cheese grater! He's got a cheese grater! He heads over to STEALTH, but the challenger boots AOD in the midsection, causing AOD to drop the grater. STEALTH goes for an ace crusher, but AOD throws him off, bending down to grab the grater. STEALTH hits the ropes and comes back, but AOD stands up, swings the grater, and catches STEALTH across the forehead! STEALTH crashes to the mat, and he's busted open! AOD stands over STEALTH, then turns around. He leaps up, nailing a standing moonsault! He covers! (One, Two, Kickout!)
[Black Widow runs from the back, bolt cutters in hand. She cuts open the door, and slips inside. The referee tries to send her back to the dressing rooms, but she correctly explains that there's no disqualifications, so her presence there is perfectly legal. She grabs a chair from one of the trash cans in the corner of the cage as AOD sets STEALTH up in the bottom turnbuckle. Widow puts the chair in front of STEALTH's face as AOD goes to the opposite corner. He glances back at STEALTH and the chair.]
Jimmy: What's he doing. Oh no ... no, he's not ... AOD springs over the top rope to the ring apron, then up onto the ropes before immediately springing off of the top rope, hitting a dropkick right onto the chair! AOD hits the Van Terminator on STEALTH! This match is over, folks! AOD with a Van Terminator, and ... he's not making the cover? Holy shit, ladies and gentlemen, he's picking STEALTH up by the head! He pulls STEALTH over to the trash can, and hits the Going Home! He makes the cover! (One, Two, THREE!!!)
[AOD, bloody from the battle, slowly gets to his feet. The referee gets the Hardcore Title, and hands it to AOD, who takes it and leaves the ring. LCW officials and EMTs rush to the ring to get STEALTH as the cell rises back into the rafters.]
Jimmy: Folks, that was one of the most brutal matches I've ever seen, and that's just the beginning of the show! What else is in store for us tonight? Well, next up is the second round of the Lethal Lottery, so let's get to it!
[Cut to the entranceway.]
Lethal Lottery Round 2 - The Unibomber/"IRA" Sean Fein vs. Jesse Wannabe/"MIR" Bruce Nichol
Ray: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit. It is a second round matchup in the Lethal Lottery Tournament.
["Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 plays over the speakers to a chorus of boos.]
Ray: Introducing first, a member of Blood Brothers, here is The Unibomber!
[The Unibomber makes his way to the ring, ignoring the jeering fans at ringside. "Zombie" by The Cranberries blares through the arena as orange and green pyrotechnics go off around the entranceway. Two white shots of pyro shoot from the ceiling to the ramp as "IRA" Sean Fein steps from behind the curtain. Dressed in wears white martial arts boots, green tights, and an orange singlet top, his hair back into a ponytail with a green ribbon, the Irish flag painted across his face, orange wrist bands overtop of white tape around the wrists, and a black leather jacket. He makes his way to the ring, greeting the fans along the aisle, and takes off his jacket before entering the ring.]
Ray: His partner, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, he weighs in at 275 pounds. Now entering the ring, here is "IRA" Sean Fein!
["IRA" poses for the cheering fans as the music changes to "Pretty Fly" by The Offspring, and the cheers slowly change to boos.]
Ray: Their opponents, first, from Toronto, Ontario, he weighs in at 235 pounds. Making his way to the ring, here is "Bob Van Darn," also known as Jesse Wannabe!
[Wannabe jogs to the end of the aisle, where he waits for his partner. Darkness spreads through out most of the arena as the speakers crackle to life. An approaching wave of music can be sensed coming closer and closer through the speakers as the crowd prepares themselves for it.]
Ray: His partner, from Saint Joseph, Northwest Territories, he weighs in at 225 pounds. Making his way to the ring, here is "MIR" Bruce Nichol!
["MIR" joins his partner "Bob Van Darn" at the end of the aisle, and they enter the ring together, both sliding under the bottom rope. They decide to have Jesse start the match.]
Jimmy: This is going to be a difficult tournament, mentally, for MIR as he now has to face the second of his good friends, Blood Brothers. He pinned Jack "The Ripper" in his first round match, which brought him to this match. The Unibomber is nervous about this, not really wanting to fight his good friend, which I can completely understand. Unibomber starts things off against Jesse, er, I mean Van Darn. He advances on BVD, as I guess I could call him, and steps right into a dropkick that staggers him back. He advances towards BVD again, and BVD steps forward, catching The Unibomber in a hiptoss. The Unibomber is caught off guard, and rolls through the fall to a neutral corner, collecting his thoughts.
[Suddenly, "Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 hits the air, distracting all four men in the ring, as well as the audience. Jack "The Ripper" storms from the dressing room area, pointing wildly at MIR, and yelling towards The Unibomber. MIR meets Jack "The Ripper" in the aisle, only to be leveled by a clothesline.]
Jimmy: The Unibomber rushes over, tagging in his partner, IRA, then heads to the problem with his tag team partner, and friends. IRA enters the ring, and advances on BVD, who goes for a dropkick again. IRA doesn't fall for it, hanging back to allow BVD to hit the mat. He grabs BVD by the head, and lands a hard European uppercut that sends his opponent into the corner. I think this match is turning into a one on one encounter, as The Unibomber is attempting to escoret Jack "The Ripper" and "MIR" Bruce Nichol back to their dressing room to sort things out. Ten to one, this whole thing stems from the first round of the tournament.
[Meanwhile, in the ring, IRA has landed a series of kicks to the midsection on BVD, who is still slumped in the corner. IRA steps back, then lands a devastating lariat that nearly decapitates BVD. He kicks BVD in the midsection, then brings him out of the corner and around with a double underhook backbreaker. He makes the cover. (One, Kickout!)]
Jimmy: IRA with a two count, almost winning this match for his team. He picks up Van Darn by the head, and sets him up for a suplex. He lifts him high in the air, it looks like he's going for a vertical suplex, no, he drops BVD with a brainbuster! IRA climbs the ropes, and leaps off, going for a senton bomb! BVD lifts his knees, and IRA hits hard! IRA rolls to the middle of the ring, holding his back. BVD picks up IRA, then takes him down hard with a rib breaker! First the back, now the front! He grabs IRA by the head, and locks on a dragon sleeper! The referee checks IRA for a submission, but IRA struggles on to break the hold. He flips up and over BVD, holding onto him, so that they end up with IRA standing, and BVD over his shoulder in position for a tombstone piledriver! No! IRA nails a Michinoku driver! BVD's been planted on the mat! He's laid out, folks, and IRA's climbing the ropes. He signals the crowd, who know exactly what's coming next! He leaps off, he's hit the Belfast Bombshell! The cover! (One, Two, THREE!!!)
[IRA picks up Jesse Wannabe by the head following the three count, and tosses him out of the ring. The referee raises his hand in victory.]
Jimmy: "IRA" Sean Fein and The Unibomber advance to the finals! They will go one on one later tonight!
[Cut to a shot of the shared dressing room of "MIR" Bruce Nichol and Blood Brothers. Inside, the three of them are still arguing about what happened earlier in the night. When they catch a feed on the monitor of "IRA" winning the match, they pause as "MIR" congratulates The Unibomber, then they continue arguing. Cut to a shot of Wealth and Power warming up in their locker room before cutting to the entranceway.]
World Tag Team Title Match: Wealth & Power vs. Team Danger (c)
Ray: The following tag team contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit, and it is for the World Tag Team Championship.
[On the big screen is a flashing dollar sign. Alternated with Damien G. White III. They flash about every 5 seconds. "Money Talks" by AC/DC hits and a green spotlight with a white dollar sign comes to the entranceway. He follows it to the ring and jumps over the top rope.]
Ray: Introducing first, from Wall Street, he weighs in at 240 pounds. Already in the ring, accompanied by Opal, here is Damien G. White the Third!
[White poses for the crowd as various fight sequences are flashing on the big screen. "The Fight Song" by Marilyn Manson comes on the PA. Carlos Cula comes out from the back. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp and flexes his muscles. He poeses for 30 seconds or so and then slowly walks to the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope and stands behind Damien with his arms crossed.]
Ray: His partner, from Las Vegas, Nevada, he weighs in at 345 pounds. Joining his partner in the ring, also accompanied by Opal, here is Carlos Cula!
[White, Cula and Opal pose for the fans as "High" by Jimmie's Chicken Shack hits the air to a chorus of boos.]
Ray: Their opponents, led to the ring by Cindy, here are "The King of Pain" Stephen Greer and "The Extreme Franchise" Tyrone Walker, known together as Team Danger!
Walker and Greer walk ahead of Cindy, a scowl across both of their faces. Neither one makes any notice of the fans at ringside, but Cindy stops often to sign autographs. They reach the ring, and Greer climbs in quickly while Walker, shooting a disdainful look at Greer, holds open the ropes for Cindy.]
Jimmy: Well, tonight we get our first glimpse at Team Danger with the addition of new manager Cindy. We all know how this came to pass, and President Adam Douglas, seeing how excited they were to have her with them, eagerly signed the young lady to a managerial contract. Well, the bell rings, and we have Carlos Cula and Stephen Greer starting things off. They dive into a collar and elbow. Both of these teams have been battling hard against each other over these tag team titles for a little over a month now, and as far as I'm concerned, if Wealth and Power don't leave tonight as World Tag Team Champions, they need to regroup and figure out just how to grab that brass ring. Team Danger on the other hand, seem to be folding from within, especially concerning the events surrounding the hiring of their new manager, Cindy. Greer gets the advantage early, putting Cula in a headlock. Cula pushes him off, and Greer hits the ropes. Cula goes for a dropkick, but Greer holds the ropes, and Cula hits the mat. Greer rushes in, hitting the rising Cula with an elbowdrop right between the shoulderblades. Cula hits the mat again, as Greer gets right to his feet. He kicks Cula in the head as he tried to get back to his feet, and Cula rolls to the far side of the ring. Greer advances on Cula, who sweeps Greer's legs out from under him, sending Greer to his back. Cula gets to his feet, and begins viciously stomping on Greer, who struggles to get out of the way of Cula's feet. Greer finally evades Cula by slipping out to the floor, and sliding back into the ring at a different point. Greer staggers backwards to tag in Walker as Cula patiently waits. Walker enters the ring, and dives into a collar and elbow with Cula. Cula gets the advantage this time, swinging behind Walker and putting on a rear waistlock. Walker reverses the waistlock, but Cula reverses the reversal. Cula hits a belly to back suplex on Walker. Walker slips out of the waistlock of Cula, booting him in the midsection when he gets back to his feet. Walker plants Cula with a DDT. Cula rolls out of the ring to collect himself. Walker taunts Cula from the ring, but the referee backs him away from the ropes.
[Walker backs away from the ropes, distracting the referee as Stephen Greer heads over towards Carlos Cula, who has his back turned to the Team Danger corner. Suddenly, Cindy steps in front of Greer, scolding him for intending to cheat. Greer, surprised by this interruption, begins to argue with Cindy as Cula slides back into the ring.]
Jimmy: Cindy seems to want Team Danger to keep things clean here tonight, much to the chagrin of Stephen Greer. Cula and Walker dive into another collar and elbow, this time ending with Walker hitting a kneelift on Cula. He whips Cula into the ropes, but Cula reverses it. Walker comes off the ropes, and Cula goes for a back body drop. Walker counters with a sunset flip. (One, Kickout!) Walker grabs Cula by the hair, and whips him into the corner. Walker rushes in, but Cula lifts a leg, catching Walker right in the face. Walker staggers back as Cula raises himself to the second turnbuckle. Walker heads back to the corner, allowing Cula to come off the second rope with a double axehandle. Cula catches Walker square in the forehead, and Walker hits the mat. Cula goes over to his corner, but Walker grabs his ankle, tripping him up. Walker gets to his feet, still holding Cula by the leg, and drops a knee across Cula's knee. Cula cries out in pain and clutches his knee as Walker does it again. Cula uses his good leg and kicks Walker off of him. Cula drags himself along the bottom rope, getting close enough to his corner to allow Damien White to tag in.
[White climbs into the ring and Walker stands back. As White addresses Walker, he charges in with a lariat that sends White to the mat. Walker slugs Cula in the head as he gets back to his feet on the ring apron, sending Cula to the floor. White gets back to his feet and grabs Walker by the back of the head. He jumps backwards and sits down, pulling Walker down with him. Walker rolls through it, grabbing White by the legs. Greer puts his foot on the top turnbuckle as Walker goes for a hotshot. Cindy hops up on the apron to scold Greer, and White crashes into her instead.]
Jimmy: White has just knocked Cindy to the floor! Greer is thrilled! He holds White in the corner. Walker begins to work White over with fists and feet. He tags in Greer, who locks White into position for the Broken Wings. He and Walker smile at each other, then Greer hits it! Greer hits White with the Broken Wings! A cover! (One, Two, THREE!!)
[Both Cula and Cindy are slow to their feet as the bell sounds, signalling the end of the match. Cindy looks a little confused, but still happy that her team won the match. Cula on the other hand, is very upset, and as Opal collects White from inside the ring, Cula starts to limp back on his own. Opal glares at Cindy as she helps Damien White to the back. Cula is several paces ahead of them, favouring his knee as he walks. Team Danger are celebrating in the ring, and the referee hands them their titles. Cut to a four-way split shot of the ladies of the LCW as they prepare for their title match, next.]
World Women's Title Fatal Four-way: Jane Wannabe (as "Lever") vs. Black Widow vs. Sassy Stephanie vs. "The Shooter" Samantha Buka (c)
Ray: The following is a fatal four-way match scheduled for one fall, and is for the World Women's Title!
["Pretty Fly" by The Offspring hits the air to a chorus of boos.]
Ray: Introducing first, from Toronto, Ontario, she weighs in at 135 pounds. Making her way to the ring, here is "Lever," also known as Jane Wannabe!
[Jane makes her way to the ring, waving at the booing fans. As she climbs into the ring, her music fades out. "What I Always Wanted" by Kittie echoes through the arena as Black Widow steps from the back. She walks confidently down the aisle as red and white pyrotechnics go off around the entranceway, down the aisle, then around the ring. She slides into the ring under the bottom rope, then poses for the jeering crowd in the middle of the ring.]
Ray: Her opponent, also from Toronto, Ontario, she weighs in at 100 pounds. Already in the ring, here is Black Widow!
[The fans continue to boo as Widow and Lever eye each other cautiously.]
Ray: Their opponent, from Liberty, Texas, she weighs in at 175 pounds. Making her way to the ring, here is "Sassy" Stephanie!
["When the Heart Rules the Mind" by GTR plays over the sound system. She comes down with a huge smile on her face, slapping hands with the fans and runs down to give the announce crew a kiss on the cheek, then she runs around the ring, looking for a random gentleman to kiss.]
Ray: And their last opponent, from London, England, she weighs in at 135 pounds. Making her way to the ring, led by Crazy Canuck, here is the World Women's Champion, "The Shooter" Samantha Buka!
["I Drink Alone" by George Thorogood comes on the PA. Samantha runs to the ring. Crazy Canuck comes out afterward and walks to the ring with Samantha's bottle of tequila. He hands it to her, and she takes a mouthful. She then lights a lighter and spits the tequila in a ball of flames.]
Ray: And finally, introducing the surprise special referee for this bout, making her way to the ring, here is former World Women's Champion, Dextra Titania!
["Closer (precursor)" by Nine Inch Nails plays on the loud speaker. For the first 10 seconds all is black in the stadium. The big screen shown a screen of fire with flashing images of Dex, with various seductive and evil faces, is shows flashes of skin and Dex in various degrees of leather attire. A more metalic sounding part of the song comes into play with a huge eruption of pyrotechnics. When the fire dies down Dex has appeared in the middle with an expression of seduction and pain on her face, her face turns into a scream expression, she throws back her head and lifts her arms above her head with her whip in hand. Along with another explosion of pyrotechnics. The music continues as Dex makes her way to the ring, cracking her whip through various key points co-inciding with the music. Once in the ring she stands in the middle of the ring all goes dark again except a red light on Dex, As Trent Reznor's voice rings through the stadium Dex mouths his words "I want to fuck you like an animal" and then bows her head as a four point red flame of pyro erupts from all corners of the ring.]
Jimmy: All four women are in their respective corners now, and as the bell sounds it seems that Black Widow and Lever are going to start things off. They lunge into a collar and elbow, while Stephanie and Samantha yell insults at each other across the ring. Lever shoots Widow into the ropes, hitting a powerslam as she comes back. Stephanie hops off the ring apron, and heads towards Samantha. Buka, seeing this, also hops off the apron, and meets Stephanie on the floor. A ruckus ensues, catching the attention of Lever in the ring. She heads over to the ropes to join in the fray as Black Widow gets to her feet. Wannabe gets one leg through the ropes, but Black Widow catches her, locking on the Widowmaker as she pulls her back into the ring. She cinches it on in the middle of the ring, and Lever struggles to get out. She's giving up! She's giving up! Black Widow has just won the title!
[On the outside of the ring, the ringing bell causes Stephanie and Samantha to stop their brawl, and look into the ring, where Black Widow is being forced to let go of Jane Wannabe by Dextra. She finally lets go, and Dex raises her hand in victory, handing her the title with her free hand.]
Jimmy: A surprise special referee for the match, and then Black Widow seizes the opportunity on the outside of the ring to win the World Women's Title! What else is going to happen tonight?

Lethal Lottery Final Match: The Unibomber vs. "IRA" Sean Fein
Ray: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit, and is the final match in the Lethal Lottery Tournament.
["Sunday Bloody Sunday" by U2 plays over the speakers to a chorus of boos.]
Ray: Introducing first, a member of Blood Brothers, here is The Unibomber!
[The Unibomber makes his way to the ring, ignoring the jeering fans at ringside. "Zombie" by The Cranberries blares through the arena as orange and green pyrotechnics go off around the entranceway. Two white shots of pyro shoot from the ceiling to the ramp as "IRA" Sean Fein steps from behind the curtain. Dressed in wears white martial arts boots, green tights, and an orange singlet top, his hair back into a ponytail with a green ribbon, the Irish flag painted across his face, orange wrist bands overtop of white tape around the wrists, and a black leather jacket. He makes his way to the ring, greeting the fans along the aisle, and takes off his jacket before entering the ring.]
Ray: His opponent, from Belfast, Northern Ireland, he weighs in at 275 pounds. Now entering the ring, here is "IRA" Sean Fein!
["IRA" waves to the fans as the bell rings to start the match.]
Jimmy: There's the bell, and we're underway! Sean Fein and The Unibomber lock up in the center of the ring, and there is a fight for control. IRA takes The Unibomber down with a hiptoss, and both men separate. The Unibomber comes back, but IRA catches him with an armdrag takedown. The Unibomber is quick to his feet, and he rushes at IRA, but IRA sidesteps him, pushing him into the ropes. The Unibomber comes back, allowing IRA to catch him, and drop him with a side slam. IRA hooks the leg. (One, Kickout!)
[The Unibomber quickly slips out from under IRA, and looks pissed. IRA flashes him a look that seems to say "Hey, if you can't keep up ..." which only serves to upset The Unibomber more.]
Jimmy: IRA taunting The Unibomber, who charges at his tournament partner. IRA stops him short with a well placed dropkick that catches the bigger man in the midsection. The Unibomber drops to the mat, and IRA hits a running elbowdrop to the sternum. He covers. (One, Kickout!) The Unibomber is getting frustrated, while IRA seems to be taking it all in stride. The Unibomber kicks IRA in the midsection, and follows up with a powerbomb. IRA rolls, and slowly gets back to his feet. The Unibomber runs in, catching IRA with a swinging neckbreaker. IRA sits up slowly, and shakes the cobwebs from his head as The Unibomber taunts the crowd. IRA gets to his feet, and waits patiently for The Unibomber to turn around. When he does, IRA runs at him, catching him with a Thesz press. IRA gets back up, allowing The Unibomber to also regain a vertical base. He kicks The Unibomber in the midsection, then hooks his arms. The question now, is what underhook move is he going for? He picks him up, and oh my! IRA plants The Unibomber with a double underhook piledriver! He tosses The Unibomber out of the ring. As The Unibomber gets to his feet, IRA hops onto the top turnbuckle and flies down with an Asai moonsault! Both men tumble to the floor as the referee begins to count. IRA rolls The Unibomber into the ring, then climbs onto the apron. The Unibomber goes for a shoulder thrust through the ropes, but IRA counters with a sunset flip. (One, Two, Kickout!)
[IRA pushes The Unibomber's legs out of the way, getting quickly to his feet. The Unibomber gets up, and IRA bounces off the ropes.]

Ray: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit. It is for the World Television Title!
["Thunderstruck" by AC/DC blares through the speakers. Texas Lightning comes and stands at the rampway out to the sounds of the thunder in the early moments of the song. As the lyrics begin, Lightning appears on the ramp way to the booing of the fans. Along the way to the ring, he poses several times and shrugs off the jeering of the fans.]
Ray: Introducing first, from Nacogdoches, Texas, he weighs in at 246 pounds. Making his way to the ring, here is "The Southwestern Icon" Texas Lightning!
[A spotlight shines on the entranceway. Snow begins falling from the ceiling. "Great White North" by Bob and Doug MacKenzie begins playing over the PA. Jacob and the Crazy Canuck exit from the back and walk to the ring.]

Jacob hits a kneelift on TL, then lifts him up in a powerbomb. TL counters, flipping back down with a hurricarana, sending Jacob clear out of the ring! TL hits the apron, and slips to the floor as Jacob shakes the cobwebs from his head. TL grabs Jacob by the hair, and smashes his head on the guardrail.
[The referee begins the ten count. TL rolls Jacob into the crowd, then hops the guardrail. Jacob gets to his feet, and begins to brawl with TL through the crowd. The referee reaches the count of ten, and calls for the bell.]
Jimmy: The referee has counted out both men! This match is a draw, so I guess Jacob Lawrence retains the World Television Title! Well, with this match over, I guess it's time for the Main Event!
[Cut to the back, where Black Widow returns to her dressing room with the World Women's Title. She tries the door, but it's locked. She looks around, a little confused, then heads to find a janitor. Cut to a shot of Jim Roberts' dressing room as he pulls on his kneepads in preparation for his match. Cut back to the outside of the dressing room for Angel of Death and Black Widow. Widow arrives, janitor in tow. She goes to show the janitor that the door is locked, but it opens when she turns the handle. She smiles sheepishly, thanks the janitor for his time, then enters. Cut to the inside of their dressing room, where Black Widow finds AOD dressed only in a towel, with steam coming from the shower area. Black Widow scolds AOD for showering while she was out of the room, as she was embarrassed when she couldn't get the door open. Cut to a shot of the Wannabe's dressing room, as the Wannabe siblings encourage Johnny before his match. Finally, cut to the entranceway.]

Ray: His opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, he weighs in at 240 pounds. Making his way to the ring, here is the World Heavyweight Champion, "Y Not?" Chris Cheerio, also known as Johnny Wannabe!
[Wannabe does a Chris Jericho impression as he walks down to the ring. He slides into the ring under the bottom rope, and waits for the bell.]
Jimmy: Well, these two competitors are primed and ready for this matchup! (Ding, ding, ding) There's the bell, and Roberts and Wannabe stay on the opposite sides of the ring, neither one willing to give the other an advantage this early. The referee implores them to begin the fight. They circle each other, taking their time to get things started. Finally, Roberts rushes in, locking up with Wannabe. Roberts puts Cheerio in a headlock, which is reversed. Roberts pushes Cheerio off, following him to the ropes to take him over them with a lariat. Cheerio hits the floor, and Roberts gloats from the ring. Cheerio grabs Roberts by the feet, and drags him to the floor. Roberts and Wannabe brawl on the outside as the referee begins his count. Roberts whips Cheerio into the ringsteps, then rolls back into the ring. Wannabe climbs into the ring, and resumes a lockup with Roberts. Roberts surprises Cheerio, catching him with a backslide. (One, Two, Kickout!)
[Cheerio steps back from Roberts, avoiding a lockup. He grabs Roberts by the head, dropping him with a neckbreaker. Roberts rolls on the mat, grabbing at his neck. Wannabe follows with a legdrop, then an elbowdrop to the sternum. Roberts rolls out of the ring as Wannabe goes for a second elbowdrop, and Wannabe catches himself, avoiding a missed move. Roberts slides back into the ring as Wannabe is backed off by the referee. Roberts and Wannabe rush at each other, and both are taken down with a double clothesline.]
Jimmy: Both men have to be feeling the effects of that, as we are being signalled that there are ten minutes of airtime left. Both men are slow to their feet, but Roberts beats Wannabe to it. Roberts hits a forearm to the back of Wannabe, stopping his ascent. Roberts tucks Wannabe into position, dropping him with a piledriver. Wannabe with a low blow, blocking an attempt to pick him back up. He hits the ropes, dropping Roberts with a swinging DDT. He grabs Roberts again, tossing him into the corner. Cheerio rushes in, nailing an elbow smash to the head. This allows Cheerio to put Roberts on the top turnbuckle. Cheerio climbs to the second rope, taking Roberts up and over with a superplex! He covers! (One, Two, Kickout!)
[Wannabe is upset that he didn't get the pinfall. He angrily picks up Roberts, who rolls him into a small package. (One, Two, Kickout!) Wannabe is getting more upset now, and Roberts isn't too impressed at his failure to get the win.]
Jimmy: Two failed pinfalls, and both competitors are getting more and more frustrated. I'm being told that we have five minutes left, so these guys had better finish it up soon! Wannabe whips Roberts into the ropes, catching him in a powerslam. He hooks the leg. (One, Two, Kickout!) Roberts gets back to his feet, and takes Wannabe down with the Rise to the Top! This should be it! (One, Two, Kickout!)
[Roberts is shocked as Wannabe gets to his feet.]
Jimmy: Wannabe ducks a lariat from Roberts, and slips in with a waistlock. He drops Roberts with a German suplex! He holds on, taking Roberts down with another suplex, then another! He's getting ready to finish this! He waits, taunting the crowd as Roberts holds his neck and back. Wannabe turns, grabbing Roberts by the legs. He steps over Roberts, and goes for the Bowls of Cheerio! He's getting ready to finish Roberts off! Roberts is blocking it! Cheerio can't get the hold locked on! Cheerio with one huge push, and he's got it locked on! Roberts struggles towards the ropes! I've been told that we're almost out of time! Roberts reaches the ropes! The referee hasn't seen it yet, but he's moving into position. He sees Roberts holding onto the ropes! Cheerio pulls Roberts off of the ropes, but Roberts begins to crawl back! He reaches the ropes, and the referee tells Wannabe to drop the hold! Wannabe shakes his head! The referee begins to count! (One, Two, Three ...) Wannabe pulls Roberts off of the ropes again! Roberts reaches out, crawling back to the ropes! The referee admonishes Wannabe! He begins counting again ... (One, Two, Three, ding, ding, ding!!)
[Wannabe doesn't drop the hold as the referee checks with the timekeeper. He turns to the entranceway, waving out the officials.]
Jimmy: The match is over! It's a time limit draw! Officials are pouring down to get Wannabe to release the hold! We're out of time, folks! See you Friday night!
[We get one more shot of the ring, as Wannabe refuses to release Roberts from the Bowls of Cheerio elevated crab. Fade to credits.]
