versus

"Phoenix" Sean Harley and "The Player" Ace Spade w/MWF General Manager Dom Stoate and Doris Spade

Tag Team Match

Referee: Charles Galliant

JP: This is going to be one hell of a main event, we're just six days away from finding out who the new MWF World Champion will be at Nightmare!

Sully: One of the four four men wrestling tonight could well be the MWF World Champion by this time next week and I'm sure they'll be out here next week telling us all how great they are.

JP: Everyone has their favourites in what will be a unique match at Nightmare, it's a four corners match with a slight twist.

Sully: Care to explain?

JP: Instead of just having to pin one man and get the win, or being elimination...to win the MWF World Championship you have to pin each man in the match, so that is three pinfalls.

Sully: Charles Galliant sure will be busy at Nightmare, his hand will hurt after slapping the mat so many times.

JP: It's an interesting rule for the match, can't wait to see which man will be able to go the distance and get all those pinfalls.

Sully: There aren't many men who can do what is being asked of them, but Sean Harley or Ace Spade are the men to do it.

JP: Sean Harley doesn't have a hope in hell, the only possible way I can see Harley winning is if MWF General Manager Dom Stoate gets involved.

Sully: I wouldn't mind if that happened, Stoate sure could be a major factor tonight and on sunday.

JP: Troy Knight and NomaD have good chances, Troy Knight is of course already the MWF Television Champion and has shown by holding the belt that he is a worthy champion...could he become a double champion?

Sully: Over Sean Harley and Ace Spade's dead bodies, Ace Spade will not let Troy Knight win the MWF World Championship no matter how hard Troy attempts to wrestle he just won't come out on top.

JP: Ace Spade appears to have recovered his form slightly, many have said he is the personification of hard work backstage at the moment.

Sully: NomaD's the unlucky man in the match, he's all alone....NomaD has lost pretty much everything he ever had in the MWF and I'm not sure if he can ever recover to the form he once had.

JP: He's shown his skill at holding an MWF Championship when he held the MWF Xtreme Championship for a good length of time.

Sully: Not long enough, nothing to compare to The Jeopardizer's title reign that's for sure.

[Peter Santos strolls into the centre of the ring, a mike raised to his lips he begins his trademark bellowing.]

Peter Santos: This match is a tag team contest and is scheduled for one fall. Making their way to the ring first, accompanied by The Bobster, weighing in at a combined weight of 450 lbs., "The Hardcore Icon" NomaD and the MWF Television Champion, "Troy Boy" Troy Knight!

[The crowd explode as "Big God" by Monster Magnet blasts from the PA system and some excited fans wave their banners at a nearby camera before the camera shot cuts back to the entrance way where NomaD and Troy Knight are standing with red smoke billowing out from behind them. NomaD raises his arms to the crowd but the biggest cheers come when Troy Knight holds his MWF Television Championship belt up to the crowd as he walks down the entrance way, Bobby Knight trotting behind them.]

JP: It's a tag team you never thought you'd see, but for one night only Troy Knight and "The Hardcore Icon" NomaD are joining forces.

Sully: I thought NomaD was the "Crown Prince of Hardcore"?

JP: Nope, because I think he's proved over the last few months in the MWF he's been far more than the "Crown Prince", he has become an icon for the Xtreme Championship division to look up to.

Sully: Seth Caliko sure did show him up though...if NomaD still had the MWF Xtreme Championship perhaps I could understand it more.

JP: Listen to this reception Troy Knight is getting, it's tremendous.

Sully: I think Troy easily has the crowd support going into Nightmare, NomaD is lurking in the crowd's shadows....

JP:...Could work for NomaD, the pressure is off...he's not expected to win so he could relax and prove very dangerous.

[Troy Knight is in the ring...NomaD walks around the ringside, checking out the positions of the ringsteps and ducking to check something under the ring. Troy Knight takes Bobby's hand and helps the young Knight up the turnbuckle, Bobby stands on the top rope and the crowd roar loudly as Bobby Knight tenses his little muscles. Charles Galliant steps forward and takes the MWF Television Championship from Troy Knight and raises it to the crowd to signify its presence.

Peter Santos: And the opponents, weighing in at a combined weight of 450 lbs., accompanied the MWF's General Manager, Dom Stoate and Doris Spade, "Phoenix" Sean Harley and "The Player" Ace Spade!

[The crowd are doing some serious jeering as the two men walk out onto the entrance way to the sound of "Last Man Standing" by Biohazard. Sean Harley smirks and turns round to say something to Dom Stoate, the MWF General Manager smiles and laughs. Doris Spade links arms with Ace Spade as they walk down the entrance way avoiding the rabid fans all trying to rip Ace Spade apart.]

Sully: Ace Spade, he is a manifestation of evil.

JP: I wouldn't go that far, he's not as bad as everyone says...but what he tried to do to Troy Knight was in my opinion disgusting.

Sully: It'll be the first time they've met in the ring for a while and it's going to be explosive.

JP: Well they don't call it Monday Night Dynamite for nothing!

Sully: Haha, very good JP, anyhow...Dom Stoate, he is the major factor tonight as we all know just how sneaky he is around the ring...has great ring awareness.

JP: Last week he almost handed "Divine Intervention" another win, but the MWF President soon saw to that....did you hear Mak's excuse for Stoate bringing a chair into the ring?

Sully: No I didn't...

JP:...Ah, well, he claimed that he was tired and Stoate was just bringing the chair into the ring for Mak to have a rest.

Sully: Pure genuis that one!

[Ace Spade holds the ropes down for Doris Spade, as she ducks into the ring...Sean Harley slides under the ropes and eyes Ace Spade cautiously as Troy Knight and NomaD discuss tactics, a huge "Dom Stoate Sucks!" chant is going around the arena as the MWF General Manager takes a chair from a nearby cameraman and takes a seat at ringside.]

JP: Great we're going to have Stoate sitting on a steel chair for the whole match, I wonder how long he can restrain himself from getting up and using the chair as a weapon.

Sully: I'm sure he won't need to, as long as no one attempts to sabotage Sean Harley's health then we shouldn't see Stoate needing to get involved, besides I think Stoate's only out there as a precaution.

JP: We all know Sean Harley needs all the help he can get.

Sully: He doesn't need any help!

[Charles Galliant talks to Ace Spade and shakes hands, before backing away...signalling to NomaD and Troy Knight. The crowd aren't happy as Troy Knight turns and steps through the ropes to the ring apron, leaving NomaD to face off. Sean Harley goes to the ring apron, and drops down to speak to Dom Stoate...leaving Ace Spade to kiss Doris farewell and prepare to face off against NomaD.]

JP: NomaD and Ace Spade to start us off tonight, both men know all about the hardcore style...perhaps Ace is the slightly better technical wrestler but he doesn't have the same drive as NomaD does.

Sully: Same drive?

JP: NomaD is far more focused and when NomaD turns that style on there are very few who can match him for technical ability....but the hardcore arena is where he excels.

Sully: If this match gets outside the ring then Ace and Harley are in trouble, unless Dom Stoate plays his ace of his own.

[The bell sounds and the crowd roar as Ace Spade walks slowly towards NomaD, the former MWF Xtreme Champion extends his hand to the challenger and the two men lock hands in a test of strength...Ace Spade shoves forward and knocks NomaD off balance but NomaD wrenches his right arm free and slams it into the neck of Ace Spade. "The Player" holds his neck as Doris Spade shouts from the outside, referee Charles Galliant is about to warn NomaD when "The Hardcore Icon" launches himself upwards and executes a dropkick into Ace Spade that sends "The Player" flying backwards.]

JP: Ouch! Perfectly executed dropkick by NomaD, he sure knows how to find the sweet spot.

Sully: Ace Spade is looking a little rusty and I'm not too surprised, he hasn't wrestled frequently enough and neither has Troy Knight.

JP: NomaD can always be found somewhere near the ring, Ace has been lurking in shadows mainly for the past however many weeks.

[Ace Spade gathers himself to his feet and runs at NomaD, the crowd jeer loudly as he hits a spear on NomaD...slamming "The Hardcore Icon" back towards his own corner. Troy Knight looks on as Ace Spade clambers to his feet and runs to the ropes, he bounces off them and comes running back and hits an elbow drop. Ace Spade rolls away and walks back towards his corner and tags in a surprised Sean Harley.]

Sully: That's an early tag! I don't think Sean Harley was expecting that and to be honest, neither was I!

JP: I thought Ace Spade and Sean Harley had some trust issues...

[Sean Harley steps into the ring...NomaD is just getting to his feet and the crowd shout in warning as Sean Harley runs forward and hits a flying cross-body onto NomaD. It takes NomaD down and has him pinned....1.....2! Charles Galliant signals the two count as NomaD gets his shoulder up. NomaD gets to his feet, the crowd are silenced by this early attack from the unpopular Harley and Spade. Harley gets NomaD into a headlock and wrenches NomaD to the mat, he locks in an armbar and NomaD roars in pain as Harley repeatidly wrenches back the arm of "The Hardcore Icon". Troy Knight starts to step into the ring to help but just as he does NomaD reaches and grabs the ropes.]

Sully: Where does NomaD find this strength? Is their a factor somewhere in a state we don't know about called "inner strength"...

JP: You never know, this is America!

[Troy Knight cheers NomaD on as "The Hardcore Icon" gets to his feet and sends Sean Harley reeling with an elbow to the mid-section...Harley staggers back and NomaD grabs him and irish whips him into the ropes. As Harley comes running back the former MWF Xtreme Champion bends down, grabs the legs of "Phoenix" and hits a huge spinebuster. The effort has both men down on the mat after impact, the crowd chant for NomaD as he pulls himself to a crouching position.]

Sully: Come on Sean get up...this is where matches can be won or lost, he needs to make a tag or at least stop NomaD from tagging in Troy Knight.

JP: Troy Knight is hot on the outside, NomaD needs to unleash "Troy Boy".

Sully: Do you know how dirty that sounded?

JP: I don't care, Troy Knight is just gagging to get inside that ring and unleash hell on Sean Harley and Ace Spade!

[The crowd are roaring as NomaD staggers towards his corner and makes the tag to Troy Knight...the crowd explode as "Troy Boy" gets into the ring and like an experienced brawler he charges towards the rising Sean Harley who is dropped with a clothesline. Troy Knight doesn't stop moving, Ace Spade doesn't see it coming and Troy Knight sends Ace Spade tumbling to the outside with a raised elbow. Doris Spade comforts her husband as Dom Stoate looks on worriedly.]

Sully: Dom Stoate has plenty to ponder, not just the match right now but the matches coming up at Nightmare in six days time.

JP: Six days until we discover whether Dom Stoate can hold his own in an office room brawl with Insane Wayne.

Sully: That's going to be something spectacular to say the least...

JP:...Go Troy Go!

[The MWF Television Champion is flashing around the ring, his blonde hair slicked back as he pulls Sean Harley to his feet and executes a suplex....Troy keeps hold of the headlock and pulls Sean Harley up and hits yet another suplex. He thinks about going for the pin but before Charles Galliant can start counting he changes his mind and instead heads for the top rope. NomaD is slumped on the ropes watching as Bobby Knight on the outside cheers for his father, "Troy Boy" climbs the turnbuckle taking every rope a step at a time until he is balanced on the top.]

Sully: Troy Knight is taking a huge risk, Sean Harley won't want to be put away just yet....

JP:....This is cool and calculated wrestling from Troy Knight, he knows and wants to win this match and he knows how important it is.

[The crowd roar as Troy Knight sets himself before leaping from the top rope, the cameras flash, blinding the wrestlers as Troy Knight comes down with a diving headbutt right into the groinal area of Sean Harley! "Phoenix" is rolling around in pain as the MWF Television Champion hooks the leg for the cover....1.....2! Harley breaks out of the count, and slams the canvas with his hand to show is displeasure at being pinned....Troy Knight beats Harley's face into the canvas to shut him up and the crowd roar as Troy Knight mounts Harley and locks in a camel clutch.]

Sully: Oh dear, that is not the sort of position you want to be in with Troy Knight mounted on your back.

JP: No, because Troy Knight is going to make Sean Harley submit....

Sully:...Yeah right!

[Harley is throttled by the arms of Troy Knight locked around his neck, NomaD is smiling on the outside as Troy Knight levers back the hold so that it inflicts even more pain into Harley's bent back. The former MWF Television Champion screams in pain as the current MWF Television Champion shouts for Harley to give in, Charles Galliant looks worriedly at Harley as his body appears to be growing limper and limper. A recovered Ace Spade clambers back to the ring apron and has a determined look on his face as he climbs into the ring, NomaD worriedly leaps over the ropes but is too late to stop Ace Spade as he comes from behind Troy Knight and dropkicks Troy in the back of his head. "Troy Boy" is sent sprawling as NomaD arrives and narrowly misses a clothesline on Ace Spade, "The Hardcore Icon" turns round and walks straight into The Royal Flush! The ring shakes with impact as NomaD is driven into the mat.]

JP: The Royal Flush! We haven't seen that move in a while!

Sully: God damn, Ace Spade can still wrestle when he needs to, despite all the doubts in his mind when he hits that move you'd be surprised at how it all comes flooding back.

JP: He is a good wrestler, NomaD left himself wide open for attack there.

[Charles Galliant grabs Ace Spade and pushes him back towards his corner, both Troy Knight and Sean Harley are down in the ring as Ace Spade strolls back to the ring apron. Galliant turns round to see both Knight and Harley down, NomaD is being dragged from the ring by a concerned Bobby Knight....he drags "The Hardcore Icon" to the outside and sits him again the ringsteps.]

Sully: Such caring from a young boy, but he really shouldn't be out in an environment like this.

JP: I'm surprised Doris hasn't given him a hug yet.

[Charles Galliant is forced to begin a count with both Troy Knight and Ace Spade down on the mat, he shouts loudly....1......2......3......no movement from either of the men, Dom Stoate looks unconcerned at ringside......4.......5......Sean Harley's arm moves, and slowly he raises it to show he's in the land of the living, Troy Knight is clutching the back of his head........6........Troy moves into a crawling position and he begins to crawl slowly to his corner.......7........Sean Harley is crawling towards Ace Spade's outstretched hand........8........Ace Spade leans forward and the crowd jeer as the tag is made, Troy Knight looks up to find no NomaD waiting to tag. Panic grips the face of Troy Knight as he rolls over and looks to see the figure of "The Player" running straight at him.]

Sully: This has turned into a handicap match, Dom Stoate has used the ace card in this match...Ace and Harley are actually working as a very good team together tonight.

JP: Will they work like this on sunday, that's the bigger question?

Sully: I doubt it, Nightmare truly will be every man for himself when the MWF World Championship is at stake.

[Troy Knight attempts to stand but Ace Spade slams a boot into the face of Troy Knight that sends the MWF Television Champion down to the mat clutching his face. Ace Spade grabs Troy by the hair and hauls him to his feet, Spade rakes the eyes of Troy Knight and the crowd explode in rage as "The Player" sends "Troy Boy" spiralling down to the mat with the Ace Cutter! Ace Spade taunts the fans as he stands and cockily pins Troy Knight by placing his boot on the chest of the MWF Television Champion....Charles Galliant slaps the canvas.....1.....2.! Troy Knight manages to roll over, groggily groping for something to help him stand.]

JP: Ouch! That move had to hurt, the Ace Cutter, The Royal Flush...Ace Spade is really putting on a show tonight for the fans...not that they want to see an Ace Spade show.

Sully: He's a big-time wrestler, he always does his best when the spotlight is on him...you can stick him against a wrestler who is bog standard and Ace Spade will wrestle the same way, but put him with class like Sean Harley and he'll perform.

JP: The return of Ace Spade the wrestler appears to have come true, those weeks ago when he returned to the screen I didn't think he'd come back and wrestle like this.

[Troy Knight finds only the leg of Ace Spade as he attempts to get to his feet...Ace Spade chuckles as he helps Troy Knight to his feet. Spade grins as Troy staggers, holding his face, Spade suddenly drops to one knee and the crowd scream in horror as the crotch of Troy Knight is bludgened by The Really Low Low Blow! Troy Knight collapses in sheer pain to the canvas, holding his groin....Ace Spade begins to walk towards the turnbuckle.]

Sully: Ace Spade's going to the turnbuckle? What the hell is going on there?

JP: I don't have a clue, he doesn't usually scale the heights.

Sully: I guess we're about to see something spectacular, he really is going all out tonight.

JP: Can you blame him? He's had a lot of stick for finding himself in the main event at Nightmare and tonight's the night he can show exactly why he's been put there.

[Ace Spade scales to the top rope, the crowd jeering as he pauses to taunt the fans....Troy Knight is not far from the turnbuckle for a good jumper. Ace Spade laughs as he launches himself backwards and vertically down off the turnbuckle looking for the Rump Thump, Troy Knight's very own finishing move....but the crowd explode in cheers as the only Rump that Ace Spade finds is the unforgiving one of the ring. The ring shakes upon impact and Spade's face says more than a thousand words.]

Sully: Oh no....Troy Knight saw it coming, Spade was trying for the greatest insult possible, using a wrestlers very own finisher on them.

JP: It's be like Troy Knight doing The Royal Flush!

[Troy Knight crawls over the body of Ace Spade, looking for a pinfall....Charles Galliant counts....1.....2! Galliant stops the count as he spots Ace Spade's foot is on the ropes, Doris Spade is sneaking away from the area as Galliant orders Troy from Ace Spade. The fans are livid with rage and Troy Knight shouts something at Doris Spade, she turns her head and flicks her hair and gives Troy Knight the middle finger, Troy Knight grabs the ropes and leaps over them, landing on his feet on the outside. Doris Spade turns round looking rather worried, Troy Knight goes to grab her but Sean Harley alert to the danger appears and pushes Troy Knight away from Doris Spade.]

Sully: What was Troy Knight thinking? He was going after Ace Spade's woman!

JP: He has every right, I mean Ace Spade went after the children of Troy Knight, poor Bobby Knight's abduction almost sent "Troy Boy" out of his mind.

Sully: One of a kind that family, one of a kind...

[Ace Spade staggers back to his feet in the ring, he walks slowly to the turnbuckle and holds it for support as Sean Harley pushes Troy Knight back towards the ring, Charles Galliant is about to start counting when Troy Knight slides under the ropes. Ace Spade turns and seeing his chance leaps forward and boots Troy Knight clean in the face as the MWF Television Champion is just about to get up from the mat, Troy Knight, half in the ring holds his face in pain. Ace Spade grabs Troy by the hair and begins to haul him into the ring, Sean Harley runs back round to his side of the ring and climbs up onto the apron calling for the tag.]

JP: Troy Knight can't afford to let Ace Spade get that tag to Sean Harley, "Phoenix" is raring to go and Troy has no one to tag as NomaD is still down on the outside of the ring.

Sully: Some "Hardcore Icon" is NomaD, he's pathetic.

JP: You wouldn't be in the fittest state if you'd just faced The Royal Flush would you?

Sully: Perhaps not.

["The Player" turns his head and sees Sean Harley calling for the tag...Dom Stoate motions for Ace Spade to tag but Doris Spade gives Ace the thumbs up and the crowd jeer as Troy Knight is lifted to his feet and Ace Spade takes a few steps back. "Troy Boy" is staggering as the crowd watch open mouthed as Ace Spade comes forward and delivers the Heaven Sent, it's inch perfect and Troy Knight is dropped straight to the canvas. Bobby Knight begins screaming and NomaD rouses himself....but as he begins to climb towards getting into the ring Sean Harley has come like a flash round the side of the ring and "The Hardcore Icon" is thrown away from the ring apron and goes flying into the guardrail.]

JP: Ouch that had to hurt! NomaD's taking some punishment tonight....Sean Harley wants to make sure he wins this tag team match, but he must be pissed that Ace Spade didn't make the tag.

Sully: The reason Ace Spade didn't make the tag was because he had that trick up his sleeve! Troy Knight just got the Heaven Sent straight to his jaw, his very own finishing move...

[Troy Knight is dazed and confused on the mat as Ace Spade hooks the leg, Doris Spade cheers and jumps for joy, hugging Dom Stoate as Charles Galliant counts....1......2......3! The crowd explode in jeers as Ace Spade climbs to his feet, fist clenched in joy, teeth bared as Doris Spade climbs into the ring and leaps into the arms of her husband. Sean Harley knocks NomaD down to the concrete and makes his way into the ring, where he eyes Ace Spade suspiciously...Dom Stoate climbs in to join his man.]

Peter Santos: And your winners, through pinfall, Ace Spade and Sean Harley!

JP: That was a huge win, Troy Knight and NomaD have had a huge blow sent to their plans at Nightmare by losing this tag team match.

Sully: Ace Spade and Sean Harley worked surprisingly well as a tag team, if they decide to team up at Nightmare it could be a long night for Knight and NomaD.

JP: Something tells me it's every man for himself come sunday evening and it looks as if Sean Harley is about to make that clear.

["Phoenix" has been passed a steel chair by his General Manager, Charles Galliant is tending to Troy Knight with Bobby Knight, his son, watching on anxiously to see if his father is healthy. Ace Spade and Doris Spade share a passionate kiss as Sean Harley comes menacingly from behind and the crowd explode in jeers as Sean Harley smashes the chair down into the back of Ace Spade's head. Doris Spade is also caught by the blow and the Spade's are sent tumbling to the mat, blood spilling from the back of "The Players" head.]

Sully: My God! Good Lord! Ace Spade has just had the back of his head split open by the steel chair from Sean Harley.

JP: "Phoenix" making his point known here on Dynamite, he wants to go to Nightmare on sunday and he wants to claim the MWF World Championship!

Sully: He's going to have to go through Ace Spade first, but after that chair shot I am not sure how much of Ace Spade there is left for him to go through.

JP: He even caught Doris with that terrible shot, NomaD's down on the outside and Troy Knight looks eghausted...Sean Harley is at the peak of physical condition going into sunday's match.

Sully: That's because he has Dom Stoate, the former Sean Harley would simply have tried to beat seven bells out of everyone in the ring but now Stoate has channelled that fire and aggression and it seems to be working.

JP: Some real "Divine Intervention" from the MWF's General Manager, I don't think "Twisted Vision" will be too happy with the prospect that Sean Harley could well win the MWF World Championship at Nightmare...imagine if "Divine Intervention" got hold of the MWF World Championship.

Sully: There would be hell to pay that's for sure, whoever has the MWF World Championship has the power in the Maximum Wrestling Federation.

["Promises Promises" by The Cooper Temple Clause is playing over the PA system as the cameras flash taking shots of Sean Harley as he stands, chair in hand....one arm raised by Dom Stoate towards the fallen body of Ace Spade and the laid out Troy Knight. Dom Stoate shouts something along the lines of "the future is coming" before pointing at Sean Harley.]

JP: I do hope that's not the future, Sean Harley would be such an undeserving champion.

Sully: The whole point of this match at Nightmare is to find a deserving champion, a man who can defeat all his opponents in the match.

JP: Harley will cheat though, he has to pin three men and with Dom Stoate at his side he has a clear advantage.

Sully: All four men have someone in their corner, it makes no difference.

JP: There is a bit of a difference between having your nine year old son and the MWF's General Manager in your corner!

Sully: Not in the rulebook, if you are accompanied it doesn't say those managers have to be of equal strength and character.

JP: We'll see you come sunday, for MWF Nightmare! The MWF World Championship is on the line and I'm not looking to the future because I don't like what I see.

Sully: Sean Harley is to become the MWF World Championship, it's written in the stars....

JP:...Goodnight everyone!
