JP: What a night it has been full of action, excitement and entertainment.
Sully: No signs of the two involved in the King of Kings Finals at Vacation.
JP: That was a barbaric match; no man could walk out one hundred percent Sully, which would be inhuman.
Sully: Troy Knight survived and walked out the MwF World Heavyweight Champion.
JP: But Thunder Bull put up one hell of a fight.
Sully: Troy went through a Hardcore Lumberjack match and prevailed in the finals of Hell on Earth.
JP: Thunder Bull had a Ladder match with Shiv and won with a top risk move but came up short in the final match of the King of Kings Tournament.
Sully: Both men must be battered and bruised.
JP: Even scarred for life!
Sully: Thats for sure!
[Suddenly the lights in the Little Rock, Arkansas arena dissipate turning into a very dim blue colouring. The crowd cheer ecstatically as in one split second a red firework explodes on top of the rampway and red mist slowly forms, rising on the top of the stage. "A Place for My Head" by Linkin Park hits the loud speakers and out walks the "Perfector of Pain" with red smoke exhaling from his mouth. The crowd roar in approval as Thunder Bull walks in a determined strut down to the ring.]
Peter Santos: Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome, the "Perfector of Pain" Thunder Bull!
JP: Thunder Bull is here tonight! I can’t believe it! He's here Sully.
Sully: Whats all the fuss about? He isnt the MwF World Heavyweight Champion.
JP: But he is a top contender for the belt, he went through the likes of Shiv and he is a high bridge to cross.
Sully: But he isnt as unstoppable as he thought going up against Troy Knight.
JP: But he damn sure gave it his all.
Sully: He still has a lot to learn and adapt to though JP.
JP: This young rookie though is a quick thinker and has many main events headlined for him in the near future.
[Thunder Bull wears his usual ring attire, covered with his long ankle length black trench coat. Thunder Bull has his red hair tied up in one single ponytail and he wears red and white glowing face paint, which gleams in the eternal darkness. The lights come back on as the screaming of agony by Chester Bennington dies down and Thunder Bull is handed a microphone. The crowd chant "Thunder Bull! Thunder Bull! Thunder Bull!" in union, which brings a smile to the Procrastinators face. He soon speaks in a luring tone.]
Thunder Bull: At Vacation I battled for the one thing I believed I could hold but I wasnt quite sure if I was yet ready to step up to the plate and hold that prized possession. I went through a ladder match against the MwF Xtreme Champion to make it to the finals. Troy Knight defeated Doomsday in a brutal Hardcore Lumberjack mach to advance through to the finals. We met in Hell on Earth. The demonic structure was waited and was in conjunction with Thunder Bull and Troy Knight. We battled and bled and our bodies went through as much as it could possibly endure. Unfortunately it was not my time to shine.
[The crowd give a slight jeer as Thunder Bull looks up, scratching his chin. The "Lord of Lightning" walks over to the corner, leaning into it and adjusting his position and soon speaks again.]
Thunder Bull: Tonight I would like to call out the very man that defeated me in Hell on Earth because quite frankly and quite simply… we never finished what we damn sure started!
[The crowd give a thunderous cheer as Thunder Bull looks focused, looking at the crowd who are cheering him with strong chants echoing throughout the arena.]
JP: A challenge is being set by Thunder Bull Sully!
Sully: Will Troy Knight accept the challenge?
JP: It would be another classic in MwF history records.
[Thunder Bull prepares to speak again in a calmer tone.]
Thunder Bull: I have been named the current number one contender for your MwF World Heavyweight Championship title belt Troy Knight and so tonight I call you out because it is time to settle this feud once and for all. There may be mutual respect between both of us but we all know that every man is after your belt and you being the holder are an open target!
JP: That is very true Sully.
Sully: Threatening words there from Thunder Bull.
JP: But he does respect Troy Knight a great deal.
Sully: Will Troy Knight come out?
JP: The fans want to see him, thats for sure!
[The cameras pan around the arena at the eight and a half thousand fans jam packed to the rafters in the arena. We see a scattering of Thunder Bull and Troy Knight Banners and suddenly "Large than Life" by The Backstreet Boys hits the PA system and out walks the reigning MwF World Heavyweight Champion, a pink firework exploding on his entrance. Pink glitter falls as Troy Knight emerges from under the curtains to a huge ovation. The crowd are in a frenzy, reaching out to touch Troy Knight.]
Sully: And here is the man Thunder Bull was talking about.
JP: The man that went through hell and back just to retain that coveted title that rightfully belongs around his waist.
[Troy Knight smiles walking alone down the ramp, his father Lawrence Knight not accompanying him to the ring this time. Troy Knight pats the MwF World Heavyweight Championship that is strapped tightly around his waist, entering the ring and retrieving a microphone from Peter Santos. Thunder Bull and Troy Knight stand face to face as the crowd give a mixed chant, some "Troy Knight!" and "Thunder Bull!" chants. Troy Knight soon begins to speak.]
Troy Knight: So young Thunder Bull.
[The chants of TroyBoy, TroyBoy reverberate through the arena, Troy Knight lifts his hands to quiet them, and then speak.]
Troy Knight: Listen up Fans! I know you love me, how could anyone not love me, I am the greatest athlete in the world today, and the greatest wrester ever. I know I have earned the respect of all the pretty ladies and all the oh so sweet boys in this building and the scores of Troyaholics out there in TV Land, you respect me because I give you my all every night, just like Jonathan give me his "all" every night! Respect isn’t something that is given out for free, respect is earned, "Respect" waits behind a door marked "PUSH" and I "push" 24/7 to get your respectah, "Respect" that brings me to the young man standing in the ring with me right now. Lets hear it fans, do you "respect" Thunder Bull?
[The fans respond with a huge deafening "Thunder Bull! Thunder Bull!" chant that vibrates the atmosphere of the arena, Troy once again has to raise his hands to beckon silence.]
Troy Knight: Now, Thunder Bull, it appears to me that these fans “respect” you, that very respect of the masses is something that you earned, that respect of the masses gets you the "pops" and the plaudits of the wrestling world. That respect of the masses gets your face plastered all over the covers of wrestling magazines.
[Thunder Bull soon interrupts Troy Knight, raising his hand in the air.]
JP: What will Troy Knight make of this?
Sully: Well Thunder Bull seems like he is going to speak… what does the man have to say for himself?
Thunder Bull: Gaining respect is not a privilege Troy Knight, it’s a gift that you learn to hold. Once you learn to be respected by the fans then you know that your gift will spread. I have done this in a short amount of time, man by man I have eliminated but you, I have yet to eliminate from the top Troy. That is why I am requesting something from you.
Troy Knight: And what is that one thing Mr. Thunder Bull?
Thunder Bull: The honour of a rematch!
[The crowd explode into great depth of cheers, which as a result makes the MwF World Heavyweight Champion shocked. Troy Knight rubs his ears, checking if he heard the exact words from the "Perfector of Pain" mouth.]
JP: A rematch?
Sully: Oh my god! Things have just got interesting JP.
JP: Thats for damn sure!
Sully: Will Troy Knight accept the challenge?
JP: Thunder Bull is the number one contender after all Sully.
[Troy Knight's stunned face turns to a smirk, raising the microphone to his lips and questioning Thunder Bull's words.]
Troy Knight: What did you say??
Thunder Bull: The honour of a REMATCH! Pay attention Mr. Champion.
Troy Knight: Whoa, not hold on a minute there Mr. Thunder Bull. Just because the Fans respect you, doesnt mean I respect you. For me, the MwF world champion to give a fellow a second chance for the gold means I have to respect you that fellow too. I said the fans respected you, I DIDNT say I respected you Mr. Thunder Bull!
Thunder Bull: You dont respect me? After everything I pulled off at Vacation, after every amount of energy I could muster, with every fibre in my body I gave you my all. I was at the very top of my game in one night and I tried to prove to you that I am someone not to overlook.
[The fans cheer on Thunder Bull as he looks ready and raring to go. His fists clenched and Troy notices this and soon intervenes.]
Troy Knight: You think! You think? What matters is what I think.
Thunder Bull: And what exactly do you think on the whole situation then Champ?
Troy Knight: I think you did earn a rematch, you earned my respect, you and I took it to the Max at Vacation, we took it high above everyone else, YOU are an athlete, YOU are a wrestler, and most important of all YOU are an entertainer.
[The crowd applaud the words from Troy Knight; Thunder Bull looking overwhelmed by the response from the crowd and soon replies.]
Thunder Bull: Thank you; I really appreciate your kind words Troy Knight. All I eve wanted in the very core of wrestling was to entertain the fans and send them home happy. I am glad that I have achieved this.
Troy Knight: So Mr. Entertainer, lets entertain the masses again, how about we take it to the max again soon.
Thunder Bull: That is fine with me Troy, but lets make things interesting here tonight… you pick the date and I pick the stipulation of the match we will both compete in for your MwF World Heavyweight Championship!
[The fans cheer once again at the announcement from Thunder Bull as JP and Sully soon voice their opinions.]
JP: A rematch of the ages Sully!
Sully: Two men that are at the top of this very company are going to battle it out in a second war, this will go down in history JP!
JP: It sends Goosebumps down my body.
Troy Knight: Hmm, my physicians want me to take it easy for a few weeks, our last show about killed me, so how about say... August 23rd?
Thunder Bull: August 23rd? That sounds fine but the match I have planned will damn sure top the Hell on Earth match!
[A look of concern is expressed across the face of Troy Knight, the fans hushed silent, looking inquisitive on what sort of match Thunder Bull will choose. Thunder Bull walks around the ring, scratching his forehead and then looks back at Troy Knight.]
JP: What match will the challenger pick?
Sully: A Japanese Death match perhaps?
JP: Or maybe a Ladder match… Thunder Bull has been successful in that type of environment many times.
[Thunder Bull opens his mouth but quickly shuts it, holding onto his words and still dwelling on what sadistic match he can come up with that will fit right with this title bout. Thunder Bull looks up to the sky, his eyes gazing at the ceiling but soon concentrates back on Troy Knight.]
Troy Knight: Mr. Thunder Bull, now, tell the fans the type of match that is swimming around in that respected cranium of yours.
Thunder Bull: Respectfully... Troy Knight, I suggest a Three Stages of Hell Match!
[The crowd roar in approval, standing on their feet and sticking their fists in the air and yelling at the top of their lungs. Troy Knight looks on, pondering to himself on what he makes of the match.]
Sully: Oh my god JP!
JP: A three Stages of Hell match!
Sully: Both men went through two matches at Vacation in one night but three?
JP: This is going to be one hell of a brutal match!
[The "Perfector of Pain" continues to speak after his huge announcement.]
Thunder Bull: The first fall will be decided in a street fight.
[The crowd cheers.]
Troy Knight: That is fine with me.
Thunder Bull: The second fall will be consisted in a flaming tables match.
[The crowd cheer louder.]
Troy Knight: Things get worse and worse dont they?
Thunder Bull: And for the third fall, a cage match!!!!
[The crowd give an uproar of cheers that spread throughout the arena, showing their please. Troy just stares in “respectful” dumbfoundedness at Thunder Bull.]
JP: Three Stages of Hell!
Sully: What a barbaric match that will be!
JP: It makes Vacation look like a walk in the park.
Sully: Hold on Troy Knight has something to say to Thunder Bull.
[Troy Knight chuckles to himself and prepares to speak once again.]
Troy Knight: Very so Mr. Thunder Bull but as much as I respect you as an entertainer there is just no chance you will survive this time. I have mutual respect for you as a whole Thunder Bull but no one will take away what rightfully belongs to me!
[The crowd give a mixed reaction but soon simmer down with Thunder Bull screaming down the microphone.]
Thunder Bull: Maybe the title does belong to you Troy Knight but when the time comes; your title reign will descend at the hands of Thunder Bull.
Troy Knight: I will see you on August 23rd Thunder Bull.
Thunder Bull: I have a better idea… how about we have a preview right now!
[The crowd chant "Fight! Fight! Fight!" as Thunder Bull rips his white vest off, showing his muscular figure. Troy Knight takes off his shirt and throws his World title to one side. Both men circle each other, crouching down, poised and waiting for which man will make the first move.]
JP: Both men looking for a fight tonight.
Sully: Who will leave with the last laugh?
[Almost immediately both men charge at one another, arms swinging forward at full velocity as both men hit the first blow to the side of each others face. Both Thunder Bull and Troy Knight stagger backwards, looking at each other and holding the side of their face. The crowd continue chanting in rhythm and both men charge once again nailing each other with hard right hands. Both men seem not to be giving in but soon Troy Knight stops the exchanging blows and nails a swift boot to the gut of Thunder Bull. Thunder Bull doubles over in pain and Troy Knight capitalises with furious right hands: one.. two... three.. four.. five but the sixth shot is blocked by Thunder Bull who in the ropes pushes Troy Knight back and nails some of his own right hands. Opening up on Troy Knight with open fists: one.. two.. three.. four.. five.. but both men block each others final blow. Thunder Bull with his speed ducks under a clothesline attempt from Troy Knight.]
JP: Both men really going at it tonight Sully!
Sully: What Im wondering is where are the referees to break up this brawl?
JP: Who cares? I guess Edward Walker has told them to not interfere; its the battle of the ultimate best Sully.
[Thunder Bull nails a shot to the sternum of Troy Knight and lifts Troy Knight up in a Kryptonine Crunch position.]
JP: Hes looking for the Thunder Blade Sully.
Sully: His secondary finisher that he uses when he doesnt use the Impulse.
[Thunder Bull swings Troy Knight around, looking to nail a spike Downward Spiral but Troy Knight Lands on his feet avoiding the Thunder Blade and looks for his finisher, the Heavens Sent. Thunder Bull ducks under the huge kick and both men knock each other down with a double clothesline.]
JP: Both men are down!
Sully: What a night this has truly been.
[The Little Rock, Arkansas crowd are chanting for both men heavily as they both make their way to their feet, glaring at one another. Both men give a nod of respect, helping each other to their feet. Thunder Bull and Troy Knight are now to a vertical base where Troy Knight offers his hand. Thunder Bull looks at the crowd who urge on the “Perfector of Pain” to shake. Thunder Bull looks back at Troy Knight, smiling and soon shakes Troy Knight’s hand. The crowd cheer as they raise each others arms in triumph.]
JP: Thats what you like to see everyday Sully.
Sully: Its great to see two men show mutual respect.
JP: And sportsmanship.
Sully: Well we have come to the end of the night now JP.
JP: A night full of action.
Sully: And dont forget chaos.
JP: How can I forget that Sully?
Sully: Thunder Bull may make a dominant champion.
JP: But can he succeed on the 23rd of August on Dynamite?
Sully: Three Stages of Hell is the stipulation named.
JP: A lot of maiming in that match.
Sully: Thunder Bull just wants to inflict pain on Troy Knight.
JP: Can Thunder Bull dominate in his very own stipulation?
[Troy Knight turns around to see Thunder Bull with his MwF World Heavyweight Championship. Thunder Bull stares at the gold and soon hands it to Troy Knight on the outside of the ring. Troy Knight throws the World Heavyweight title over his naked shoulder. Both men give a respectful stare down and head back up the ramp. Just then, all the crowd noise and everything stops as the Maxitron flickers into action yet again!]
[The cameras are backstage, it's a fixed camera and it's set up so that it has a view across the desk of the MWF Presidennt....on either side of the desk are the two most powerful men in the MWF. On the right hand side is the MWF President Edward Walker, on the left hand side is the MWF General Manager Dom Stoate. Walker is leaning back on his chair as Stoate sits with his hands on the desk. Their voices are loud and angry, these two men are pulling no punches.]
Stoate: Look Ed, you've got to realise this situation is potentially fatal.
Walker: You think I'm scared of them?
Stoate: They are a company for christ's sake, did you not watch Implosion last night?
Walker: I did watch it, but why should I be scared?
Stoate: The MCW board of directors made available funds to buy the MWF outright, they could walk right in here and buy you out Walker.
Walker: But I won't sell!
Stoate: Have you seen the amount of money? We're talking at least one hundred million dollars.
[Walker stops slouching at the mention of this money, he leans forward and looks the MWF General Manager firmly in the eye.]
Walker: You really think I'd sell for one hundred million dollars? Stoate, I wouldn't sell this place even if they put a gun to my head...hell I love this place so much I've already been shot once for it.
Stoate: That was all a hoax!
[Walker's eyebrows raise.]
Walker: I thought we agreed to keep all that in the past.
Stoate: You brought it up....look I'm just saying that if the MCW come in here and offer one hundred million dollars we should at least listen to them.
Walker: And sell everyting I've ever worked for? Stoate you weren't here in the beginning, you haven't seen this place grow from wrestling two hundred sweaty fudgepackers in gyms to selling out ten thousand seater arenas. You haven't felt that rush of seeing your dominance grow, before I was never recognised, now I go to a restaurant and it's "How you doing Mr. Walker?", or I'm doing the shopping Wal-Mart and some average joe comes up to me for an autograph and stutters "I love your company Mr. Walker!". See, Dom, it's that feeling which is worth far more than one hundred million dollars.
[Dom Stoate now sits back, rather taken aback by Walker's strong and emotional words. Walker pounds his fist on the desk.]
Walker: I will not sell this company! And I'll be damned if I sold out to the MCW, they are nothing against us Dom...absolutly nothing, you saw what we did last week on Dynamite...we took their petty little sit down protest and we knocked the fuck out of them.
Stoate: We sure did.....
Walker: It's in your heart Dom, when you sign on the dotted line for the MWF a little bit of the Maximum Wrestling Federation embeds itself in your heart. You go and find Gutter Rat, Steven Douglas, Eddie Benoit and Insane Wayne....you ask them if they still have the MWF in their hearts and I'm ninety-nine percent sure they've still got the MWF in their hearts. It doesn't matter where you go, it doesn't matter what you do, once you've been in the MWF you'll never be the same again.
Stoate: Damn straight, the MCW can't defeat us, they are a weakening force. We might be six-five down to them but we won't be for much longer.
Walker: No we won't, I did what I had to do the other week to help Sean Harley get a victory over the MCW. See, with MCPW...I don't like Sean Harley, but I don't like the MCW even more!
Stoate: Sean Harley's a good wrestler...
Walker: That's not the point! The point is that the MWF will never roll over to the MCW, they can offer me a small African country and I'll still say no...hell they can offer me the whole of Africa and I'll tell them to take Africa, and shove it up their rather inflated ass!
[Stoate erupts into laughter at this comment and Walker smiles and chuckles.]
Stoate: I see it still burns strong inside of you.
Walker: It always has done, and it will forever and ever.
[Stoate suddenly extends his hand across the desk.]
Stoate: You've got my support.
[Walker smiles, a big, long, wide smile.]
Walker: I knew I could count on it...now let's make sure these bastards can't take us.
[The scene fades back to the arena where JP and Sully are discussing the segment.]
JP: An alliance between Walker and Stoate! Wow! I never thought I would see the day.
Sully: Thats big news, but then I never thought I would see the day when MCW and MWF's relationship turned sour. But it did.
JP: Well it can only get worse from here on in. The MCW is set to buy out the MWF, Ed Walker isnt going to let that happen. So, we have a "no get out clause" situation.
Sully: Things are going to be interesting, very interesting!
JP: We will see you all next week!
Sully: Goodnight!
