MWF Tag Team Champions: "Kronik" Sozzey and Mak

versus

MWF World Heavyweight Champion and MWF Xtreme Champions: "The Kovenant" Thunder Bull and The Grudge

MWF Tag Team Championship Match

Referee: Charles Galliant

Writer: Ed Walker

JP: This is going to be a great match Sully, we've got two great tag teams raring to go.

JP: I think Peter Santos is ready to get this party started...

[The Glasgow crowd cheer as Peter Santos climbs the ring steps, ducks through the middle rope and walks to the centre of the ring. With microphone in hand, he raises it to his lips and bellows to the capacity crowd.]

Peter Santos: Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is scheduled for one fall and is for the Maximum Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championships!

[A roar goes from the crowd as Peter Santos makes this announcement and he smiles at the response from the crowd, Santos raises his voice further over the crowd.]

Peter Santos: Introducing first, weighing in at a combined weight of 555 lbs., they are the Maximum Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, "Kronik" Sozzey and Mak!

["Numb" by Linkin Park hits the PA system and the fans roar as the MWF Tag Team Champions appear on the MaxiTron...a picture shown of them destroying various opponents. Pyro explodes all over the entrance way and the fans roar as blinding yellow lights signal the arrival of "Kronik". Sozzey and Mak walk out through the lights and pyrotechnics to the cheers of the crowd, Sozzey looks pleased at the reaction and walks a few paces ahead of his brother and raises his arms to salute the crowd.]

JP: "Kronik", one of the most feared tag teams in wrestling history.

Sully: Certainly do, but once they are in the ring they will do anything to win.

["Kronik" have their belts strapped around their waists, they high five some eager fans on their way down the entrance ramp and smile as a "Kronik" chant echo's from the rafters. They climb up onto the ring apron and enter inside the squared circle, they shake hands with the referee Charles Galliant who gestures for them to take off the belts. They reluctantly part with their belts and Charles Galliant takes the two belts and raises them to the cheering crowd. Peter Santos gets back on the mic again and "Numb" starts to fade from the PA system.]

Peter Santos: Introducing the challengers, weighing in at a combined weight of 510 lbs., the Maximum Wrestling Federation World Heavyweight and Xtreme Champions, "The Kovenant", Thunder Bull and The Grudge!

[A huge jeer goes up from the crowd as "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park hits the PA system and "The Kovenant" appear through a cloud of smoke...Thunder Bull blows some smoke away and takes the MWF World Heavyweight Championship off his shoulder and raises it to the crowd. They jeer loudly at him and some of the fans start up a "Tempest! Tempest! Tempest!" chant, which causes The Grudge and Thunder Bull to laugh and smile. The Grudge leads as the two men walk down the entrance ramp, avoiding any contact with the fans.]

JP: Thunder Bull used to be such a popular guy, but this new dark character is not proving popular.

Sully: "Twisted Vizion" and "The Master Plan" spring to mind...although "The Master Plan" never quite dominated in the same way that "Twisted Vizion" once did.

["The Kovenant" reach the ring and they slide under the ropes, and immediately the two teams get in each others faces. Charles Galliant quickly steps in to keep the peace, and has to push Mak away from Thunder Bull as one half of "Kronik" becomes overly animated. The Grudge and Thunder Bull hand over their MWF championship belts to Galliant and he passes them to Peter Santos who takes them to the time keepers table. Thunder Bull and The Grudge turn away from their opponents and have a brief discussion about their tactics for the match, Thunder Bull slaps The Grudge on the back and the MWF Xtreme Champion turns to face his opponents while Thunder Bull steps onto the ring apron. Sozzey makes it clear he will be the starting man for "Kronik", as Mak growls and shouts insults at the MWF World Heavyweight Champion from his place at the ring apron.]

JP: There's quite a lot of bad feeling between these two teams after "The Kovenant" managed to sneak a victory over "Kronik" two weeks ago during the Japanese tour.

Sully: That can work in one of two ways, either they'll storm to victory or they will get so over excited and "The Kovenant" will work their way to a solid victory.

[The bell sounds and the crowd cheer as The Grudge and Sozzey don't waste any time...the two men lock up and Sozzey gains the early advantage. He grapples with The Grudge and turns him over towards the "Kronik" side of the ring and leans into The Grudge and gets underneath him, he lifts up and The Grudge is sent over for a suplex. The MWF Xtreme Champion thuds down onto the canvas and holds his back in pain at the move, Sozzey turns round and runs to the ropes. He comes back and the crowd cheer as he hits a leg drop onto the stranded "Homicidal Creep". Sozzey peels The Grudge up off the canvas and sends him into the turnbuckle. Sozzey makes the early tag to Mak and the other half of "Kronik" steps into the ring.]

JP: "Kronik" keeping the pressure on early, it's the key to tag team wrestling...quick, sharp and early tags can make all the difference.

Sully: I don't think Insane Wayne and Gunman Stinger will stay together for much longer, Insane Wayne is too good for "GMS" and after Stinger lost the MWF Television Championship earlier to Steven Douglas then Wayne will ditch him.

[Mak has The Grudge in the corner and the fans applaud as Mak raises his knee and rams it into the mid-section of The Grudge, the MWF Xtreme Champion winces as the knee is driven into his mid-section and he continues to drive his knee into The Grudge. The fans jeer as Charles Galliant comes over and calls for Mak to stop the assault, Mak grabs The Grudge and the crowd boo as The Grudge punches Mak in the face attempting to escape from the clutches of the MWF Tag Team Champion. Mak shakes off the punch and the fans roar as he executes a standing clothesline that knocks The Grudge down to the mat. Mak is furious at being struck in the face and he leans down and slaps The Grudge hard across the back of his head and drags him to his feet.]

JP: Mak taking command of The Grudge there, despite an attempt of a fight back from The Grudge.

Sully: It will be interesting to see what happens when The Grudge can make the tag to him.

[The Grudge doesn't look like making a tag as he is kept in a headlock by Mak and marched across to where Sozzey is waiting on the ring apron, "Kronik" make the tag and the crowd cheer as Mak releases the hold on The Grudge and the MWF Xtreme Champion is caught with a boot to the face by Sozzey. "Homicidal Creep" staggers backwards and Sozzey attempts to grapple him, but The Grudge evades Sozzey and the crowd jeer as The Grudge gets behind Sozzey and grapples him. The Grudge hits a reverse DDT that has the MWF Tag Team Champion knocked down on the mat, Thunder Bull is calling for the tag and The Grudge responds by dragging Sozzey across the ring by his arm and tagging in the MWF World Heavyweight Champion.]

JP: That's a hot tag for sure, Thunder Bull is going to turn the match on its head as I predicted.

Sully: Like a whirlwind.

[Sozzey is being helped to his feet by The Grudge, who irish whips Sozzey into the opposite set of ropes. Sozzey comes running back, as Thunder Bull stoops between the ropes and charges into the ring himself. The Grudge gets out of the way, as does Charles Galliant, and Thunder Bull throws himself at Sozzey and executes a spear that has the crowd going wild. Sozzey is brought savagely down onto the canvas and Thunder Bull looks for the cover, hooking the leg of Sozzey. Mak goes mental on the ring apron and urges his brother to kick out, the fans gasp as Charles Galliant counts ...1...2! Sozzey kicks out and pushes Thunder Bull away as Mak breathes a sigh of relief.]

JP: That was a close early fall, but Sozzey managed to find the strength to kick out even after such a savage move.

Sully: He needs to keep the momentum going though and give The Grudge time to recover.

[Thunder Bull gets to his feet, as does Sozzey..."The Perfector of Pain" is up first and the crowd cheer as Sozzey pushes away Thunder Bull's attempted grapple, and the MWF Tag Team Champion takes the MWF World Heavyweight Champion down with a drop toe hold. Thunder Bull's head slams the canvas and Sozzey grabs the leg of "The Perfector of Pain". The crowd roar as Sozzey looks to lock in the Tap The Fuck Out, to which Thunder Bull frantically tries to get himself across to make the tag to The Grudge. Sozzey hauls Thunder Bull back towards the centre of the ring and keeps the hold locked in, Mak applauds his brother's efforts and The Grudge looks slightly concerned as Thunder Bull is in agony. The crowd chant for Thunder Bull to give in, as Sozzey leans back and exerts even more pressure onto the body of Thunder Bull.]

JP: Is the MWF World Heavyweight Champion going to tap?

Sully: You never know, it's Thunder Bull, never count him out.

[The Grudge has seen enough, as Charles Galliant leans down to check on Thunder Bull and watch for the submission..."Homicidal Creep" charges into the ring. He comes flying over Thunder Bull and kicks Sozzey in the face. The MWF Tag Team Champion releases the hold and falls back holding his face, as The Grudge continues running and attempts to clothesline Mak off the side of the ring. But the MWF Tag Team Champion is wise to the danger, and he ducks the clothesline and sends The Grudge back over his head and onto the outside! The Grudge sprawls on the concrete as Mak turns and the fans go wild as Mak jumps off the ring apron and down onto The Grudge. "Homicidal Creep" moves with agony as Mak drops an elbow into the chest of the MWF Xtreme Champion and the fans cheer wildly.]

JP: Mak's just taken The Grudge completely out of play with a fantastic bit of ring awareness.

Sully: "Kronik" have that element of luck about them sometimes.

[Mak gets to his feet and shouts for his brother to do the same, both Thunder Bull and Sozzey are slowly getting to their feet and the crowd cheer for Sozzey as he gets up slightly faster than Thunder Bull. The MWF World Heavyweight Champion holds his leg and looks angrily at Sozzey. The two men lock up and the crowd jeer as Thunder Bull brings his knee into the groin area of Sozzey, Sozzey is doubled over and the crowd jeer as Thunder Bull executes a double knee face buster that opens up Sozzey's nose and blood drips onto the canvas. The MWF Tag Team Champion is down on the mat, blood dripping down from his nose and he looks up to see his brother leaning over the ropes looking for the tag. Thunder Bull grabs the legs of Sozzey and the fans shout with warning as Thunder Bull locks in the sharpshooter.]

JP: He's paying him back....Thunder Bull's got the sharpshooter locked in...

Sully: It could be all over here.

[The MWF World Heavyweight Champion roars for Sozzey to give in straight away as he keeps him locked in the sharpshooter. Charles Galliant gets in position for the submission, but it doesn't come, Sozzey holds his own and screams with pain as Thunder Bull increases the suffering for one member of "Kronik". Mak stands at ringside and shouts for his brother to reach out for the ropes. Sozzey gets his right arm free and stretches like mad to try and get to the ropes, Thunder Bull increases the hold and the fans jeer angrily as Sozzey's face turns red with a mixture of exertion and blood from his nose. Mak looks on desperately as Sozzey can almost reach his brother's hand, just as he's about to the crowd jeer angrily as The Grudge comes up from the outside and grabs Mak. He pulls one half of "Kronik" off the ring apron and opens him up with a right hand, the fans go wild on the outside as The Grudge sends Mak running into the ring steps.]

JP: They are brawling right near us Sully.

Sully: I'm sure he will be, he's a tough bastard.

[Back inside the ring, Sozzey has managed to grab the ropes and the crowd go wild as Charles Galliant orders Thunder Bull off him. The Grudge leaves Mak's fallen body and walks round to his side of the ring, and climbs onto the ring apron and waits for the tag from Thunder Bull. "The Perfector of Pain" pulls Sozzey to his feet and the crowd jeer as he leads him across the ring and makes the tag to The Grudge. "Homicidal Creep" picks up where Thunder Bull left off and sends Sozzey running into the turnbuckle. Sozzey slams into the turnbuckle and the crowd cheer as The Grudge runs across but Sozzey rolls out of the way and The Grudge runs head first into the turnbuckle! The ring shakes on impact and The Grudge slumps onto the turnbuckle. Sozzey spots an opportunity and grabs The Grudge, he hoists him up onto the top rope and climbs up there with him. Sozzey looks to grab The Grudge, he puts his arm around his neck and looks for a superplex. The Grudge refuses to move and Charles Galliant clears out of the way as the two men grapple on the top rope.]

JP: It's a dangerous game being up there.

Sully: "The Kovenant" are turning this into an advantage.

[Thunder Bull runs across to the turnbuckle, and before Charles Galliant can grab him he comes up from behind Sozzey. Thunder Bull twists his body, standing on the second rope and the crowd gasp as he grabs Sozzey's thighs and powerbombs one half of the MWF Tag Team Champions off the turnbuckle and onto the canvas. The ring shakes, the crowd go mental, as Thunder Bull smiles and climbs up onto the top rope with his partner. The fans are silent, in anticipation as The Grudge stands up with Thunder Bull climbing onto his shoulders.]

JP: What the hell, Thunder Bull must be nearly twelve feet in the air...

Sully: Here comes....the Impulse!

[The arena goes wild as Thunder Bull leaps off The Grudge's shoulders, and comes down onto the body of Sozzey from at least twelve feet in the air with The Impulse! The ring shakes with the impact of the move and Thunder Bull rolls, panting, off the body of Sozzey. The Grudge jumps down from the turnbuckle and hooks the leg of Sozzey ...1...2...the crowd explode with cheers as Sozzey kicks out of the Impulse. The Grudge rolls off Sozzey, his eyes wide with shock.]

JP: Good Lord! He just kicked out of one of the most devastating moves in the MWF's history.

Sully: Thunder Bull can't believe it, he's gutted.

[The Grudge looks at Charles Galliant who waves two fingers at The Grudge to signal the two count. Thunder Bull is shaking his head with disbelief as on the outside, Mak gets to his feet. Sozzey is rolling onto his side and he looks to get to his feet, the fans are going wild and this seems to give Sozzey a lift. Mak gets back up onto the ring apron and the fans roar as he starts a hand clap in support of his brother. The Grudge senses the danger and looks to grapple Sozzey....but one half of the MWF Tag Team Champions doesn't oblige, he pushes The Grudge back and the fans roar with excitement as Sozzey fires a right hand into the face of The Grudge. "Homicidal Creep" is reeling backwards as Sozzey opens up the right hands, crashing through any defence that The Grudge attempts. The Grudge is forced back to the "Kronik" side of the ring and Mak leans over the ropes and grabs The Grudge. The fans roar as Sozzey gets in close and irish whips The Grudge into the ropes.]

JP: Mak's getting in the ring as well...this could be it.

Sully: Here we go...

[Mak has stepped into the ring and before Charles Galliant can stop it, Mak runs forward, Sozzey lifts up The Grudge and "Kronik" execute Playtime Ended! The arena erupts with jeers as The Grudge is slammed hard onto the canvas, he cries out with pain as Thunder Bull leaps over the ropes. Mak is alive to the threat and he sprints towards Thunder Bull, the two men both look for a clothesline and they knock each other out with a double clothesline. Thunder Bull hits the mat and rolls, his eyes still looking on desperately at where Sozzey hooks the leg of The Grudge and the cheering fans count with Charles Galliant ...1...2...3! The bell rings out around the arena and the MWF Tag Team Champions have retained.]

JP: "Kronik" are still the MWF Tag Team Champions as we head towards March Madness, and another possible defence.

Sully: It's all about team work, but I'll never forget that top, top, rope Impulse from Thunder Bull.

Peter Santos: And your winners, through pin fall, and still the Maximum Wrestling Federation Tag Team Champions, "Kronik" Sozzey and Mak!

[The fans erupt once again at this announcement as Mak is helped to his feet by his brother and Peter Santos throws the MWF Tag Team Championships to referee Charles Galliant and he turns to award "Kronik" with their belts.]

JP: What a fantastic achievement, they've faced two very good teams in two weeks and yet "Kronik" remain in the pole position.

JP: I think...

[JP is cut off as he is about to start another sentence, the arena MaxiTron is flickering into life and the fans watch on as the camera zooms in on the MaxiTron and we are backstage. The new MWF Television Champion is sat on a chair in the locker room, the MWF Television Championship on his lap...he lights up a cigarette and takes a slow drag. The fans cheer at the sight of Steven Douglas and he has a wry smile on his face as he leans forward slightly and speaks to the camera.]

Steven Douglas: You know, after being asked to join with Insane Wayne and Gunman Stinger, I knew immediately that if I were to make an allegiance with them, those two would hold me back for the rest of my career. So I did what was necessary, I ended the stable before it started. However, not long after Thunder Bull and The Grudge approached me with a proposition that I could not refuse. They invited me to join The Kovenant, to be a part of the most dominant stable in Maximum Wrestling Federation history.  We are poised to bring down every opponent who dares cross our path, and no one here can say differently and be honest in speaking it. With the three best wrestlers in the federation now, we are unstoppable. Get used to The Kovenant ruling things around here, because that fact will reign supreme for a long while.

[The fans jeer madly as Steven Douglas smiles evilly and flicks the burnt out cigarette at the camera, which cuts back to the arena.]

JP: Steven Douglas is joining forces with Thunder Bull and The Grudge!

Sully: Goodnight everyone!
