Sully: That�s right John if Shiv is pinned
in this match then one of the temporary roster members will gain a permanent
contract on the roster.
JP: Shiv was left off the Implosion card
tonight but a few days ago General Manager and Acting President Insane Wayne
confirmed that the Team Elite member was involved and will participate in the
match.
Sully: So basically this is like a gauntlet
match right JP?
JP: That is correct Sully, guess you have
been reading the rules.
Sully: Of course, you have to read up on
such an implosive night.
JP: Peter Santos is on stand by.
[The fans in Crystal City, Texas stand to
their feet cheering heavily. The fans are filled to the rafters and the bell
rings for the first official match to be called. Brian Ford jogs down the ring
to a polite applause from the crowd and steps in the ring shaking hands with
Peter Santos. Peter Santos takes his usual trademark place in the middle of
the ring. He clears his throat and prepares to speak but is interrupted by the
fans that roar in approval.]
Sully: Listen to these fans JP!
JP: They are certainly looking forward for
such an action packed night.
Sully: Time to see how this night will
unfold.
[Peter Santos licks his lips pausing for a
second and then inhales one final breath before resuming.]
Peter Santos: The following contest is a
gauntlet match and is for a permanent contract to gain a place on the Maximum
Wrestling Federation Roster. The only way to win is if that individual
selected at random pins or makes Shiv submit at the end of the match and will
be guaranteed a permanent contract by the end of the night. Shiv can also be
defeated by Disqualification or count-out. But if Shiv manages to defeat all
four men via pinfall, sumbmission, DQ or count-out then Shiv will been crowned
the winner.
[The fans cheer once again as Peter Santos
continues.]
Peter Santos: First, making his way to
the ring� from Miami, Florida and weighing in at 250lbs� he is a member of
Team Elite �Shivinator� Shiv!
[�Enter Sandman� by Metallica rifts on the
MaxiTrons and out walks Shiv to a mixed reaction from the crowd. There are
mostly cheers though, in full support of Shiv but others disagree with his
recent actions as of late. Shiv struts down the ring cockily and slides into
the ring raising a fist in the air and yelling at the crowd who respond with
cheers, smattered with jeers. Shiv soaks in the booing and walks over to one
corner when suddenly his music is entwined with Tosh McIntosh�s entrance
music.]
Peter Santos: And his first opponent for
this match, from New York, New York and weighing in at 278lbs� �Blade� Tosh
McIntosh!
[Out walks Tosh McIntosh, former partner of
Lee �Razor� Watson to some cheers from the crowd. Tosh McIntosh has a look of
determination flaring in his eyes as he steps inside the ring. He stares a
hole inside Shiv and Brian Ford signals to the timekeeper to ring the bell and
the match is officially underway. Shiv and Tosh circle the ring, their arms
out ready and poised to see who will make the first move.]
JP: The fans can�t wait for the first fatal
blow of this match.
Sully: This Texas crowd is bloodthirsty.
JP: What are you implying.
Sully: They like the taste of blood?
[Brian Ford looks on from the corner as
both men move towards each other but Shiv being the arrogant of the two shoves
Tosh back into the corner and gains the advantage, unloading with heavy blows
to the skull of Tosh. Tosh tries to desperately prevent the shots by covering
up but Shiv wisely nails an uppercut to the jaw of Tosh who frail in the
ropes. Shiv approaches Tosh nailing a few furious shots to the abdomen and
then irish whipping Tosh hard in the corresponding turnbuckle. Tosh�s spine
cracks hard into the corner, jolting back and doubled over in pain. Shiv runs
at full head of steam nailing a stiff clothesline, the sweat dripping off the
body of Tosh like beads as he falls on his shoulders to the mat. Shiv parades
around the ring looking rather pleased by his assault to another mixed
reaction from the crowd.]
JP: People are not sure what to think of
�Shivinator� nowadays.
Sully: I like his attitude adjustment, fits
perfectly with his role within Team Elite.
JP: But Team Elite aren�t the bad guys
Sully.
Sully: Maybe Shiv and Team Elite is taking
a step in a different direction.
JP: What�s that supposed to mean?
Sully: You�ll see JP you�ll see.
[JP now looking concerned stays focused on
the match as Shiv decides to go for the nonchalant cover, 1� 2� Brian Ford
informs Shiv it was a kickout. Shiv looks on in frustration but remains
collected, gathering himself together. Shiv stands back to a vertical base
lifting Tosh McIntosh back up by the hair. Tosh now �spaghetti-legged�
staggers into the ropes and Shiv takes the opportunity to nail a few
knife-edge chops to some �whoo�s� from the crowd. Shiv once again, irish whips
Tosh McIntosh into the ropes and on the comeback looks for an attempted
backbody drop though Tosh counters the move with a planted boot to the face of
Shiv. The �Shivinator� springs back up turning away from Tosh as he holds his
mouth and �Blade� Tosh McIntosh comes from behind with a dangerous cutter type
move. Shiv�s face is drilled into the mat as the crowd starts rallying behind
Tosh.]
Sully: The crowd doesn�t know whom to
support.
JP: Seems they are edging for Tosh
McIntosh.
Sully: Just because Shiv has had a recent
change in attitude? How impartial!
[Crawling over for the cover, Tosh McIntosh
makes the cover hooking the leg as Brian Ford administrates the count, 1� 2�
Shiv gets the shoulder up! The crowd is in shock as they begin rooting more
for the young rookie. Tosh McIntosh eyes bulge out, his face intense. Tosh
calls for the end and calls for the Thistle Lock. Tosh tries to apply the
finisher on the downed Shiv but Shiv somehow counters the move, nailing a
unique kick to the temple of Tosh who falls back. Shiv gains his footing,
charging towards Tosh McIntosh who leans in the corner but Tosh nails a
reverse elbow to the face of �Shivinator�. Shiv stumbles back slightly and
falls to the mat and Tosh climbs to the top rope. Tosh calls for the Blade
Cutter but doesn�t realize Shiv is now back on his feet. Shiv jumps on the
ropes and springs off them wrapping his arms around the head and neck region
of Tosh and snaps backwards bringing Tosh down with him with a devastating
Shivinator!]
Sully: SHIVINTATOR JP! THAT�S IT!
JP: Calm down Sully you don�t always have
to continuously shout.
Sully: SORRY!
[Shiv quickly capitalizes making the cover
with the half nelson as Brain Ford moderates the count, 1� 2� 3! The bell
rings as Peter Santos standing at ringside makes the first announcement.]
Peter Santos: Ladies and Gentlemen, Tosh
McIntosh has been eliminated.
[The crowd applauds Tosh McIntosh�s efforts
as Shiv tries to regain his composure as he is seated in the corner. Brian
Ford checks on Shiv momentarily but this is intervened by �Freaking Out� by
Adema blasting out on the loud speakers and out walks Chuck Jones to some
heavy cheers. The �Acadian Sensation� proudly saunters down the ramp tagging
some fans hands on the way and enters the ring.]
Peter Santos: Next entering the ring,
from Winnipeg, Manitoba, weighing in at 224lbs� The �Acadian Sensation� Chuck
Jones!
[Chuck Jones wastes no time and charges
towards Shiv nailing a baseball slide to the chest of Shiv who rolls to the
outside. Chuck Jones is all fired up as he looks on at Shiv who tries to
recuperate on the outside. Brian Ford begins his infamous ten count but Chuck
Jones has other ideas. Chuck Jones climbs to the top rope; Shiv�s back facing
him. Chuck Jones balances himself on the top rope and casually walks along the
ropes jumping in the air and sitting on the ropes. Chuck Jones flips backwards
and nails an asai moonsault knocking Shiv down to a huge ovation from the
fans.]
JP: Now that was impressive.
Sully: Is there anything the �Acadian
Sensation� can�t do?
JP: Stay quiet?
Sully: That is possible actually well done
JP.
JP: I thank you.
[Brian Ford orders both men to reenter the
ring as Chuck Jones stand back to his feet. He stares at Brian Ford but
ignores his authority, lifting Shiv back up and ramming him headfirst into the
steel steps. Shiv�s head bounces off the steel and walks into a forearm from
the young talent. Chuck Jones looks at Brian Ford with a sadistic smile as he
irish whips Shiv into the barricade. Shiv grimaces in pain looking at Chuck
Jones warily. The �Acadian Sensation� runs towards �Shivinator� looking for
the big splash but Shiv counters with a flapjack, driving Chuck Jones face
into the top of the barrier. The barrier collapses from the force of the blow
and both men fall to their feet.]
JP: Jesus Christ! That was just sickening
to watch.
Sully: I loved it!
JP: How can you be so cruel Sully.
Sully: Because I�m heartless?
[Deciding to utilize his ten count, Brian
Ford waits for both men to enter the ring. 1� 2� Shiv is the first to show
some signs of movement. 3� 4� 5� Shiv uses the barrier as leverage to pull
himself back to his feet. 6� 7� Shiv now lifts Chuck Jones back up and throws
him into the ring. 8� 9� Shiv now reenters the ring, rolling in and making the
cover, 1... 2... shoulder up!]
JP: Chuck Jones showing some resiliency
there.
Sully: Come on Shiv, keep on the pressure.
JP: On Shiv�s side I see.
Sully: Of course who wouldn�t support such
a gifted superstar?
JP: I must admit he is the future of this
business.
[Slapping the mat frantically Shiv demands
a three count but Brian Ford confirms it was only a two. Shiv stands back to
his feet and dragging Chuck Jones over to the corner. Shiv signals that he is
going up to, climbing on the apron and hopping up to the top rope. Shiv takes
his time though �Showboating� to the crowd and doesn�t notice Chuck Jones
kip-up. Chuck Jones springs on the ropes and nails a deadly enziguri to head
of Shiv who swings his arms back. Chuck Jones climbs up top nailing a few
forearm shots to the face of Shiv and hooking his arm around the head and neck
of Shiv. Chuck Jones calls for a top rope superplex to cheers from the fans.]
JP: If Chuck Jones wants to hit this move
he must do it quickly otherwise �Shivinator� will easily change this match
around.
Sully: Shiv will win.
JP: What?
Sully: Shiv will win I said, what do your
ears deceive you?
JP: No, just trying to understand what you
said.
[Using all the strength he can muster Chuck
Jones nails a top rope superplex, both men landing awkwardly on the mat. Both
men are sprawled on the canvas as Brian Ford looks for his coveted ten count
yet again but Chuck Jones is already making the cover, 1� 2� kickout by Shiv!]
Sully: Yes! That�s the way to do it!
JP: Unbelievable!
Sully: Only a talented specimen like Shiv
can do that.
JP: He has the heart and passion for this
business I�ll give him that.
Sully: Respect is a special commodity don�t
forget that JP.
[The uprising athlete Chuck Jones stares at
Brian Ford in disbelief at the kickout. The �Acadian Sensation� does a
cutthroat motion signifying that the gauntlet match is over. He lifts
�Shivinator� back to his feet pulling on the hair. Shiv however, smartly grabs
the arm of Chuck Jones and pushes it in the face of Brian Ford. Brian Ford
holds his eyes falling back into the turnbuckle. Chuck Jones oblivious to this
nails a knee to the stomach of Shiv. Shiv doubles over and the �Acadian
Sensation� hooks the arms looking for his signature move known as the Acadian
Aftershock. He spins Shiv around but in mid air Shiv lands back on his feet, a
fight free from the move and nails an illegal low blow. Chuck Jones cringes in
agony and Shiv applies a headlock on Chuck Jones and yanks on the neck falling
back with a dangerous Evenflow ddt. Chuck Jones is motionless and Shiv makes
the cover as Brian Ford wipes his eyes realizing the pinfall attempt.]
JP: 1�
Sully: Yes!
JP: 2�
Sully: Yes!
JP: � 3�
Sully: Yes Shiv has won it!
JP: There are two men left for Shiv to
battle against Sully.
Sully: Oh sorry, I got a little bit carried
away.
JP: Little is an understatement.
[The bell rings for the third time and
Peter Santos makes the announcement as Chuck Jones rolls out of the ring in
disappointment, the fans heavily jeering this act of display from the former
Xtreme Champion.]
Peter Santos: Chuck Jones has been
eliminated!
[The fans boo once again and Peter Santos
continues introducing the third competitor.]
Peter Santos: And his third opponent,
from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada, weighing in at 230lbs� ViperJ!
[�Turn it Up, We�re Going Down� by Crowned
King hits the PA system and ViperJ walks out confidently to the ring. He stops
the walk and begins to jog on one spot, jumping in the air motivating himself
up. ViperJ then suddenly breaks in a sprint to the ring sliding in and is
greeted with a well-planted boot from Shiv to the head. Shiv in the mount
position nails more shots to the head of an already lifeless ViperJ. Shiv then
with the momentum in his corner climbs to the top rope and with hang time
nails a perfected frog splash to ViperJ into the quick cover, 1� 2� kickout.
Shiv no longer calm yells at Brian Ford, hurling abuse at the official. Brian
Ford though warns Shiv of the disqualification rule for laying hands on the
referee.]
JP: This could cost Shiv the match arguing
with the referee.
Sully: If Brian Ford stopped being a bully
and always threatening MwF Superstars maybe he wouldn�t always get into
trouble.
JP: What are you going on about?
[Shiv picks ViperJ back to his feet and
nails an open fist sending ViperJ in the corner. The referee once again warns
Shiv of his illegal tactics but Shiv though aware of Brian Ford continues the
onslaught. Shiv maintains the advantage with a swift kick to the gut of ViperJ.
Shiv then locks ViperJ by the arm and nails an unorthodox half nelson suplex
and into another cover, 1� 2� ViperJ accentuates the kickout by getting the
shoulder up this time.]
JP: Shiv though going through two men
already still has the distinct advantage.
Sully: Doesn�t surprise me.
JP: Shiv, a member of Team Elite looks to
prove his dominance to his stable especially the leader and World Champion
Thunder Bull.
Sully: Will Thunder Bull be Champion by the
end of the night though?
JP: Wait, look at this Sully!
[Somehow, ViperJ finds his bearing and
lunges towards Shiv and nails a flying clothesline knocking �Shivinator� down.
ViperJ stands back to his feet almost instantly and picks Shiv back to a
vertical base and places Shiv�s head in between his legs and lifts Shiv up.
ViperJ holds Shiv in that same position, the blood rushing to the head of the
former Xtreme Champion. ViperJ roars to the crowd who cheers loudly. ViperJ
then falls back drilling Shiv�s head into the canvas with the devious
piledriver. ViperJ however, is not finished yet and climbs up stairs. ViperJ
waits for Shiv to regain consciousness.]
JP: ViperJ setting Shiv up for something
here.
Sully: Come on Shiv fight it!
JP: Shiv may be defeated here by the
temporary roster member ViperJ!
Sully: No this can�t be true!
[After much struggle to his feet Shiv turns
around and is met with Viper J springing off the ropes locking his arms around
the head of �Shivinator� and nailing a spinning facebuster variation. The
crowd cheer on Viper J to go for the cover, which he does so, 1� 2� kickout!
The crowd is shocked, as is ViperJ who holds his head in anger. ViperJ though
has an idea. He lifts a weak and vulnerable Shiv back up and locks him up,
lifting Shiv in the air and immediately spikes the head of Shiv in the mat
with the Brainbuster.]
JP: This could be the setup for the Lowdown
that�s the first part, the devastating brainbuster.
Sully: Shiv has fought back many times and
has showed everyone never to underestimate his ability.
JP: Very true Shiv has always given one
hundred and ten percent. But is that all about to change?
[ViperJ sprawls over to the corner and
makes his journey up to the top rope. Shiv is barely conscious and ViperJ
comes off the ropes and nails the LowDown knocking the wind out of Shiv. The
�Shivinator� cries in agony and Viper J squirms around the mat, clenching onto
his stomach.]
JP: ViperJ may of hurt himself from that
tremendous 450 splash.
Sully: That�s good.
JP: Don�t say that Sully! It might be
serious.
Sully: Internal injuries aren�t important
to me.
JP: Sully!
[Pulling himself over to Shiv he makes the
cover after much delay. Brian Ford runs over to check on the shoulders of Shiv
and makes the count, 1� 2�]
JP: Three!?
Sully: No he kicked out!
JP: Dammit! What is it going to take?
[ViperJ is on his knees holding his ribs
from the earlier daredevil move. Shiv his moving slightly but not much and
ViperJ has a final idea. He drags Shiv over to the corner, using the ropes for
support to lift Shiv up. The crowd is slapping the barriers with their hands
cheering on the underdog known as ViperJ. ViperJ who nails some shots to the
face of Shiv places Shiv on the top rope. Shiv has his arms by his side and
ViperJ meets Shiv up top nailing a few more shots for good measure. ViperJ
calls for a tope rope Frankensteiner and hops on the shoulders of Shiv and
falls back but Shiv uses his strength to hold onto ViperJ, hardly budging from
the turnbuckle. Shiv throws ViperJ back in the air and jumps off the ropes at
the same time meeting ViperJ and holding onto the legs as they fall down to
the canvas with a malicious top rope powerbomb and into the rollup cover, 1�
2� 3! The bell rings and Brian Ford helps ViperJ out of the ring.]
Sully: Brilliant, pure brilliance.
JP: The way ViperJ landed I wouldn�t be
surprised he had a severe concussion.
Sully: One more victim to go and Shiv looks
to be in top condition.
JP: I wouldn�t be too sure about that
Sully.
[The �Shivinator� is gasping for air and
Peter Santos speaks through the microphone in power.]
Peter Santos: ViperJ has been eliminated!
[The crowd gives a mixed reaction, a faint
�Shiv! Shiv! Shiv!� chant blares around the arena echoing throughout showing
their respect for the Team Elite member. Peter Santos smiles and speaks for
the final participant.]
Peter Santos: And the last opponent,
from East Compton, California - Los Angeles �West Side�, weighing in at
240lbs� the �Outlaw� Exodus!
[The final competitor known as Exodus takes
his stand on center stage in the limelight. �Tupac and Bone Thugs� hits the
MaxiTrons, bellowing with force and Exodus walks down the ring raising both
arms in the air to another huge cheer from the Anti-Shiv fans. Exodus enters
the ring while Brian Ford takes a step back. Shiv is back to his feet panting
heavily after enduring much physical work. Both men stand face to face
shouting abuse, cursing and swearing at each other. Neither man moves until
Shiv slaps Exodus square in the mouth. Shiv laughs as Exodus head snaps to one
side, holding onto his cheek where a clear red mark is embarked on his face.
Exodus laughs also with a sinister smile and nails a spear takedown knocking
Shiv down.]
JP: That was not a wise move on the part of
Shiv.
Sully: Come on Shiv just one more fall and
then you have completed the gauntlet.
JP: Something tells me that this won�t be a
long match.
Sully: Shut up JP, Shiv can defeat the
entire roster with his pinkie if he wanted to.
JP: Until the day I see that I will always
laugh.
[Exodus stands to his feet flexing his
muscles and straight away locks Shiv in the Sharpshooter. Shiv screams in
anguish reaching for the ropes desperately as Brian Ford questions if Shiv
wants to give in. Shiv though jumps for the ropes and grabs them just in time.
Exodus ignores Brian Ford who orders �Outlaw� to let go of the submission
move. Exodus does so after the count of four and Shiv holds on to his leg in a
sigh of relief.]
JP: Smart game plan there from Exodus.
Sully: The �Outlaw� doesn�t look so tough,
beating on a man who has been through three matches in a span of twenty
minutes.
JP: Whatever you say Sully.
[Proceeding to work on the leg Exodus
drives his knee into the ankle of Shiv who holds his face in despair. Exodus
just laughs nailing a few shot to the weakened right leg and pulls Shiv back
in the middle of the ring. Exodus runs against the ropes and nails a snap
elbow drop to the upper body of Shiv and into the cover, 1� 2� Shiv barely
kicks out.]
Sully: Shiv just won�t give in!
JP: Fair due, but how long can he keep
kicking out.
Sully: For eternity JP!
JP: Shiv must hit a desperate and high
impact move to finish Exodus off.
[Exodus continues the pressure, knowing
Shiv is unable to retaliate Exodus grabs Shiv around the waist and throwing
him high in the air from the ground and nailing a belly to belly suplex. Shiv
screams in pain but Exodus just smiles at the crowd that cheer thunderously at
the new talent. Exodus lifts Shiv back up and nails a short arm clothesline
knocking Shiv back down.]
Sully: Don�t worry JP Shiv will do
something stunning in a minute.
JP: Oh, I was so worried.
Sully: See, I knew you would be.
JP: I was being sarcastic Sully.
[Exodus holds onto the arm of Shiv and
pulls him back up, irish whipping him into the ropes. The rather �groggy� Shiv
runs straight into Exodus who connects with a huge spinning spinebuster. Shiv
has no life left in him and Exodus makes the cover, 1� 2� Shiv just manages to
get the shoulder up.]
Sully: Yes Shiv will prevail I just know it
JP!
JP: Time will tell Sully.
Sully: I�m always right so don�t question
my knowledge.
[Agitated Exodus climbs to the outside and
climbs up top calling for high risk move. Shiv though to the surprise of every
fan runs up the ropes and crotches Exodus. Exodus falls down, holding on to
his southern regions, trying to gain a second wind.]
Sully: Shiv must be on his seventh wind now
JP.
JP: This is his chance to shine and prove
to us why he is the �Shivinator� and the future of this business.
Sully: He�s setting him up.
JP: Can he hit it?
[Shiv runs to the opposite corner away from
Exodus and then charges forward running up the ropes and wrapping his arm
around the head of the �Outlaw� looking for the Shivinator but Exodus holds on
and throws Shiv to the outside. Shiv falls hard on the cold concrete floor,
knocked out cold as the fans chant �Wholy Shit!� consecutively. Exodus climbs
down from the top rope and referee Brian Ford initiates the ten count.]
JP: That was unmissable!
Sully: Now that was sick JP!
JP: It was I must agree with my fellow
partner.
[1� 2� 3 Exodus lifts Shiv back up to his
feet and doing the �West Side� sign to the cheering crowd who are going nuts.
4� 5� Exodus wraps his left arm around the neck of Shiv and cranking it back,
lifting him up with the free right arm via the �Shivinators� legs and nails
the West Side Driver! The fans gasp as does Brian Ford letting out a scream as
Shiv�s head is driven in the concrete floor.]
Sully: OH GOD NO!
JP: There is no covering on those mats,
which means no protection.
Sully: OH GOD PLEASE NO!
[6� 7� Exodus is back to his feet crawling
to the apron, draping his arms on the canvas and pulling himself into the
ring. 8� 9� Exodus just makes it back in the ring� 10! The fans jump to their
feet in delight as the bell ring and Shiv is barely moving on the outside. The
bell finishes ringing and Brian Ford lifts the arm of Exodus in the air as the
rookie celebrates his victory to the crowd. He slides out of the ring and
jumping in the capacity crowd that slaps Exodus on the back and congratulates
him.]
Peter Santos: And your winner through
count out and gaining a permanent contract on the Maximum Wrestling Federation
Active Roster� the �Outlaw� Exodus!
[The crowd cheer yet again as paramedics
rush down to check on Shiv whose eyes open and he looks up towards the ceiling
holding onto his shoulder. The fans applaud Shiv out of respect for his
performance but the focus is more on Exodus. JP and Sully are on standby to
give their opinions of the match.]
JP: That match will go down in history.
Sully: Poor Shiv he was so close.
JP: That he was Sully and that man
shouldn�t be too appalled with himself he tried his damned hardest.
Sully: But he came up too short.
[MwF Implosion begins to fade to a
commercial break; the fans cheering in union as JP speaks.]
JP: Don�t go away as after the break it�s
the Backstage Brawl between Fear and Father Ramsey.
