"The Answer" Ken Cruise w/President Insane Wayne

versus

Tempest w/The Hobo and Enigma

Hardcore Match

Referee: Chris Forrest

Writer: Ed Walker

JP: This match should be good, it's "The Empire" versus "The Master Plan" and Tempest is the leader of that faction.

Sully: It's never advisable to mess with the leader of a faction, especially one like Tempest.

JP: Ken Cruise can handle himself, the kid has some talent.

Sully: Not enough to beat a trained professional, Tempest has been there and got the t-shirt for everything in professional wrestling.

[Peter Santos is in the middle of the ring, he looks around and the crowd applaud the announcer as he raises the microphone to his lips.]

Peter Santos: This match is a hardcore match and scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Cocoa Beach, Florida, weighing in at 266 lbs., representing "The Empire" and accompanied by the President of the Maximum Wrestling Federation Insane Wayne, "The Answer" Ken Cruise!

[Fireworks explode in the entrance way as Ken Cruise walks out with the MWF President right behind him. Wayne points to his young charge as "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns N Roses blasts from the PA system and Ken Cruise acknowledges the slight cheers of the crowd.]

JP: It appears that everyone here tonight hates "The Master Plan" so much that they will just cheer for the other side.

Sully: Fools, "The Master Plan" are easily the best stable the MWF has ever had....they will eclipse everything "Twisted Vizion" achieved.

JP: Now that was a stable and a half!

Sully: Lead by the now CEO Edward Walker they bulldozed the competition, but I'd say if "The Master Plan" can defeat everyone they will stand themselves in better shape as their competition is much tougher than "Twisted Vizion" ever had to face.

[Ken Cruise has reached the ring. "The Answer" paces around as Insane Wayne takes a position at ringside and watches the entrance way for movement.]

Peter Santos: And the opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 254 lbs., accompanied by The Hobo and Enigma, the leader of "The Master Plan", Tempest!

["Heart's Filthy Lesson" by David Bowie hits the PA system and The Hobo and Enigma appear besides their charismatic leader....Tempest is wearing dark green wrestling trunks with a large T emblazed on the back. He snarls at the crowd as they shout abuse in his direction.]

JP: He looks every bit the leader, I'm impressed..."The Master Plan" really seem to be getting their act together after what can only be described as a poor Implosion.

Sully: They won't admit it but they wanted more than the MWF Tag Team Championships...

JP: ...especially Tempest, he was gutted to come out with nothing.

Sully: Not surprised he's the most experienced and most talented wrestler.

[Tempest reaches the ring, he eyes the MWF President before sliding under the ropes. The Hobo and Enigma take positions at ringside, they are both watching President Wayne very carefully. Referee Chris Forrest signals for the bell and Tempest takes Ken Cruise by surprise as he leaps straight into action. "The Answer" is flung into the ropes and comes back to be smashed in the face by an elbow...Ken Cruise goes down but pops straight back up and receives another elbow to the face. Tempest grabs Ken Cruise and executes a snapmare, as Cruise goes down then Tempest lands a kick into the base of Cruise's spine. President Wayne applauds and attempts to motivate the young wrestler as Tempest locks in a camel clutch.]

JP: Tempest isn't treating this match much like a hardcore match...

Sully: ...he's just wearing down Cruise, then he's really going to step it up a notch and that will be dangerous.

JP: Tempest is a very dangerous man at the moment, the rage burns inside of him after the humiliation of coming away empty handed at Implosion.

Sully: They always say a leader should lead by a example.

[Tempest has Ken Cruise in a camel clutch and "The Empire" member screams with pain as Tempest moves the hold up and straddles Cruise across the neck. President Wayne roars at Chris Forrest to do something but he waves his arms to dismiss the President, the crowd jeer as Tempest is performing an illegal choke on Ken Cruise. The Hobo is counting at ringside, Tempest looks at his stable members and they respond with applause and cheers for their leader. Tempest releases the hold and Ken Cruise rolls away gasping for air.]

JP: That training session Tempest did with The Hobo seemed to pay off their, he knew exactly what to do when holding that hold in place.

Sully: The Hobo is an experienced hardcore fighter and if anyone knows how to wrestle in this environment then it's him.

JP: That's very true Sully, Tempest is really benefiting from the experience of The Hobo although he'll never admit that.

Sully: I've heard some rumours that people feel Hobo would be a better leader...

[The leader of "The Master Plan" has climbed from the ring and he searches under the ring for a weapon of mass destruction, unlike Hands Blix he pulls out a steel chair and shows it to the crowd. The crowd jeer loudly at the emergence of the weapon that could hurt the fan favourite Ken Cruise..."The Empire" member is still recovering from the illegal choke hold. Chris Forrest waves for Tempest to get inside the ring and the leader of "The Master Plan" slides in. President Wayne shouts at Ken Cruise to get to his feet, "The Answer" responds by grabbing the ropes and using them for support.]

JP: Tempest has really got Ken Cruise reeling here, "The Answer" doesn't have exactly that compared to Tempest's all out assault.

Sully: I told you, the rage that is inside Tempest is beginning to show.

[Cruise reaches his feet, he turns around and Tempest slams the steel chair hard into the ribs of Ken Cruise. "The Empire" member staggers back as Tempest drops the chair on the mat and grabs Ken Cruise, The Hobo and Enigma leap for joy as Tempest executes the Epicentre onto the steel chair! Ken Cruise's head smacks into the steel chair and his body flips over and his neck appears to twist at a horrible angle. Tempest roars with delight and covers Ken Cruise, Chris Forrest counts .....1......2......3!]

JP: That was all too easy!

Sully: Tempest proves just how dominant "The Master Plan" are going to be and President Wayne has just had to watch one of his talent's destroyed by the leader of the opposition.

JP: Don't forget "Team Elite" they are opposition to...

Sully: ...not compared to the sheer craftiness of Tempest.

[Tempest stands over the fallen Ken Cruise, who is motionless...Chris Forrest leans down and a look of panic spreads across his face. President Wayne slides into the ring and his face is panic stricken as he grabs Ken Cruise and the two men start trying to bring him round. The camera is above the head of Ken Cruise and his neck is at a painful angle and blood is coming from his ear and spreading onto the canvas.]

Peter Santos: And your winner, through pinfall, Tempest!

[The crowd jeer loudly...but keeping one eye on the events in the ring as paramedics rush down the entrance ramp with a stretcher. Wayne waves for them to hurry as he and Chris Forrest talk to the grounded Ken Cruise.]

JP: This doesn't look good at all, Tempest might well of given "The Empire" their biggest blow possible.

Sully: Ken Cruise is a talented young wrestler but that move doesn't seem to have gone off completely right...he looks in trouble.

JP: Come on Ken...do something.

Sully: The President looks extremely worried.

[Medics load Ken Cruise onto the stretcher and President Wayne helps them load it from the ring as the crowd watch on worriedly. Tempest high fives with his stable mates as they watch one half of President Wayne's fighting force being carted up the entrance ramp as we fade to a commercial break.]
