Wildfire versus Troy Knight versus Sean Harley versus Insane Wayne

Four Falls Match

Referee: Charles Galliant

Writer: Ed Walker

JP: I've got a tear in my eye...

Sully: Galliant is a legend in the ring, what a service he's given.

[The lights in the arena start to darken around the entrance way as Peter Santos takes up his familiar position inside the ring and raises the microphone to his lips.]

Peter Santos: Ladies and gentlemen, the following match is a four falls contest, this means that the winner must have pinned each of his opponents to be crowned the winner.

JP: This is going to be special, I hope you've got your hat on Sully.

Sully: What hat?

[The entrance way begins to glow green as Peter Santos raises the mic to his lips once more and his voice booms around the arena.]

Peter Santos: And the first man into this match, weighing in at 210 lbs., Wildfire!

["The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson smashes through the PA system and green pyro showers the entrance way as Wildfire walks out wearing a long black coat. He wipes the sweat from his brow and raises his arms...as he raises them upwards the pyro stretches up towards the heavens and showers down behind him. Wildfire smiles and laps up the cheers of the crowd.]

JP: This man has won every belt going in the MWF, other than the MWF World Heavyweight Championship, and he's a real tough contender.

Sully: His record is impressive to say the least, he's got experience on his side.

[Wildfire reaches the ring, he stops at the steps and looks round at the crowd. He slips his black coat from his shoulders and throws it into the front row to the screams of fans as they fight over it...Wildfire laughs and climbs the steps into the ring. He shakes hands with Charles Galliant and the two exchange words as the colour of the entrance way changes from green to a light blue.]

JP: Wait for this entrance...

Sully: ...it's going to be something very special.

[Peter Santos takes a moment as the crowd grow in anticipation as they know what's coming next.]

Peter Santos: Introducing the second opponent in this four falls match, weighing in at 220 lbs., from Chicago, Illinois, accompanied by his son, Bobby Knight, please welcome, "Troy Boy" Troy Knight!

[Backstreet Boy's "Larger Than Life" hits the PA system and the arena in Chicago, Illinois reacts with an earth shattering roar. Troy Knight doesn't appear straight away as the lights flicker between blue, pink, orange and yellow. Into this multi-colour light does "Troy Boy" appear and his son Bobby Knight is sitting on his shoulders. The crowd go wild as Troy walks down the entrance ramp and slaps hands with as many fans as possible.]

JP: This man for me just sums up the Maximum Wrestling Federation, his commitment, his style and his flamboyance.

Sully: I was never a fan at first but he just has a way that makes everything fun, and that's what the MWF always was and still is right now, fun!

[Troy Knight gets to the ring and pauses to have a word in Bobby's ear. Bobby smiles and nods and runs off to the other side of the ring. His father slides under the bottom rope and throws his arms up in the arm and prances around the ring, he whips the crowd up into a frenzy as he stands next to Wildfire and then cheekily pinches his ass. Wildfire is in game mood and he laughs it off and slaps Troy on the back. The two men exchange words and a handshake.]

JP: Good to see some sportsmanship there.

Sully: Because he's been an ever-present, he's always there to keep the MWF rolling.

[Peter Santos raises the microphone again and a hush falls across the crowd as he bellows once more.]

Peter Santos: And the third man, weighing in at 220 lbs., from Chelmsford, England, accompanied by Jamie Harley, "Phoenix" Sean Harley!

["Firefly" by Breakin' Benjamin hits the PA system and the crowd jeer as Sean Harley walks out onto the entrance way, there's no frilly gimmicks with Sean Harley as he shouts abuse at the crowd and high fives his brother.]

JP: This man is just a stringer, I firmly believe he doesn't deserve to be in this match.

Sully: I disagree, he's won multiple titles and just was unlucky when it came to the big-time.

[Sean Harley approaches the ring and he points to Wildfire and Troy Knight and makes obscene gestures at them, his brother laughs as Sean Harley says something while pointing at Troy Knight. The crowd nearby to Sean Harley shout abuse and Harley ignores them as he climbs the steps into the ring, he walks up to Wildfire and Troy Knight to exchange some very harsh words.]

JP: I will give him something...

JP: He's hungry for the win.

[Charles Galliant gets in-between the three men and Sean Harley is forced to step to the side as Galliant lays down the letter of the law to him. Harley shakes his head and smirks.]

Peter Santos: And the final man in this match, weighing in at 275 lbs., from The Misery's, Florida, Insane "The Hardcore Living Legend" Wayne!

["My Sacrifice" by Creed hits for the final time from the PA system and the winner of the You're The Boss match walks out onto the entrance way to a massive ovation of boos from the crowd. Insane Wayne mocks the crowd and receives even more abuse for his trouble.]

JP: This man has already battled in a match tonight but he's out here to try and prove he is the best in the MWF.

Sully: I've no idea...

[Insane Wayne reaches the ring and he paces around the outside looking in at his three opponents, he takes his time to climb the steps and Sean Harley spits in Insane Wayne's direction.]

JP: Harley is really fired up tonight isn't he?

JP: I remember that match well, it was a classic.

[Charles Galliant calls the four men together in the centre of the ring and calls for a clean fight. The four men shake hands and the crowd cheer this act of sportsmanship between them. Chicago, Illinois breathes in as one as the bell sounds and the action kicks off straight away. Sean Harley comes charging out of his corner like a rabid bull. He charges straight into Troy Knight and sends the former MWF World Heavyweight Champion tumbling head over heels from the ring. Bobby Knight runs around to where his dad is laid out on ringside. Wayne and Wildfire have locked up and Wayne uses his power to dominate Wildfire and whips him into the corner. The turnbuckle sags on impact as Wildfire leans up against it and Insane Wayne and comes thundering across...but the leg of Wildfire comes up and catches Wayne clean in the chin. Wildfire hops up onto the second rope and comes off it with a flying clothesline that knocks Insane Wayne to the mat. Harley decides not to go outside after Troy Knight and instead walks up behind Wildfire. The crowd jeer as Harley grabs the hair of Wildfire and spins him round to face him, he extends his right boot and kicks Wildfire in the mid-section. A doubled up Wildfire is pulled up into the air and suplexed up and back over. Sean Harley goes for a quick cover ...1! It doesn't even make the two count as Wildfire rolls a shoulder. ]

JP: Sean Harley makes a strong start here, like I was saying earlier he looks hungry for this.

Sully: All that anger is going to bet let loose tonight on his opponents.

[That anger is certainly being let loose as Sean Harley gets up and Insane Wayne is on his feet as well. Wayne looks to grab Sean Harley but "Phoenix" is alive to it and ducks under the arm of Insane Wayne. He smiles and spits in the face of Wayne who reels backwards holding his eye, filled with the saliva of Sean Harley, the brother of Sean, Jamie, is cheering on his brother as he opens up a set of stinging right hands onto Insane Wayne. Wayne is forced back towards the ropes and Sean Harley whips the bigger man across the ring. Wayne hits the opposite ropes and comes running back, Sean Harley launches himself and connects with a huge dropkick to the face of Insane Wayne. Wayne goes down like a sack of potatoes as Troy Knight gets back into the ring, his son gets the crowd chanting his fathers name as he shouts a challenge at Sean Harley. Harley turns and with a smile of delight runs at Troy Knight. "Troy Boy" takes steps towards Harley and the two men both connect with a clothesline and both men are knocked flat to the mat. Wildfire is back on his feet and he notices that everyone is down, he looks to take advantage of the situation and runs to the turnbuckle. Wildfire clambers up the turnbuckle and stands on the top rope. He taunts to the crowd and they roar back as Wildfire takes off and looks for a frog splash onto Insane Wayne.]

JP: Look at the elevation...

Sully: ...whoah!

[Wildfire doesn't connect, well, he connects with the raised knees of Insane Wayne who rolls away as Wildfire bounces off the knees and crashes into the opposite turnbuckle...he ends up a heap on the mat. Sean Harley and Troy Knight are both getting to their feet and they square up, Harley has some choice words for Troy Knight and it winds Knight up so that he lashes out. Harley sees it coming and grabs the hand of Troy Knight. "Troy Boy" swings with his other hand and Sean Harley catches this one as well. He has both the hands of Troy Knight wrapped in his and he rams a knee into Troy's unprotected lower area. Troy tries to sink down but Harley keeps the hands of Troy Knight all wrapped up and holds him up...he rams his knee into Knight's lower area again and the crowd jeer loudly. Insane Wayne is on his feet and he watches on as Sean Harley head butts Troy Knight. The nose of Troy Knight is shattered out of joint and a mixture of blood and snot smears down his face instantly as the break becomes obvious. Sean Harley screams in the face of Troy Knight and releases him from his grip...Insane Wayne raises his eyebrows as Sean Harley lifts up a leg and kicks Troy Knight full in the face. Knight collapses to the canvas as Insane Wayne picks the moment to make his move.]

JP: Breathtaking.

JP: I'm not so sure, Harley doesn't have that ability to play to the crowd that "Troy Boy" has always had.

[The crowd are jeering loudly as Sean Harley turns round and Insane Wayne can't touch him. Sean Harley's on a roll as he dodges a punch from Wayne, an uppercut from Wayne hits nothing but air as Sean Harley unleashes a right hand of his own and hits Wayne in the face. Charles Galliant is slightly concerned with Harley using a closed fist, but he decides to let it go...Wayne staggers back and Harley hits another right hand to keep Wayne on the defensive. Sean Harley gets in tight to Wayne and the crowd gasp as he hits a massive DDT onto the "Hardcore Living Legend". Wildfire has chosen this moment to get to his feet and he holds the turnbuckle for support...he is holding his ribs after the frog splash that went missing.]

JP: Something tells me Wildfire is not in a good way.

Sully: Go out there, hit them hard and hit them fast.

[Sean Harley grabs the weakened Wildfire and the crowd boo as he makes the signal for the Molten Wings. Jamie Harley jumps up onto ringside and roars his brother on and Sean Harley responds by lifting Wildfire into the air. He holds up Wildfire and spins him round and brings him crashing down onto the canvas to complete the Molten Wings. The crowd jeer loudly as Charles Galliant slams the canvas with his hand, Harley hooking the leg of Wildfire ...1...2...3! The bell sounds and a screen flashes up onto the MaxiTron with the current standing.]

JP: Sean Harley makes the first pin fall here on One Last Time!

Sully: Come on Sean...

[Sean Harley leaps to his feet and points at the entrance way and shouts something about proving himself. He takes Wildfire up from the canvas and throws him clean out of the ring.]

JP: Harley's putting on a display of just how to control these matches, he's come out hard and fast as you said Tim.

JP: This crowd don't like it one bit though.

[The bloody mess that is Troy Knight's face is pulling itself up off the canvas and attempting to get to its feet. Sean Harley ignores Troy Knight and instead goes after Insane Wayne who is now standing. Wayne is showing a few cuts and bruises from earlier in the night and the crowd aren't sure who to support as Harley grabs Wayne and forces him back into the turnbuckle...Wayne doesn't seem to be able to muster much of a defence and finds himself pinned against the turnbuckle. Harley tries to push Insane Wayne up onto the top turnbuckle, but he struggles with the weight of a big man and Wayne brings a right hand down onto the back of Harley and tries to break free. Harley slams his head into Wayne's midriff and forces him up onto the second rope.]

JP: He's talking Insane Wayne up top?

Sully: That's a risky move, you don't want to be up there supporting that kind of weight.

[Harley seems to be holding his own, Troy Knight is taking a breather against the adjacent turnbuckle and attempting to stem the flow of blood from his nose. Sean Harley doesn't give Knight a second thought as he turns Insane Wayne round and throws him backwards off the turnbuckle. Wayne hits the canvas and the crowd get excited as Harley stays up top.]

JP: We're going to see Sean Harley fly here.

Sully: You don't foil Sean "Phoenix" Harley.

[Sean Harley comes flying off the turnbuckle and executes the Crash and Burn, flipping up over himself and then bringing his leg crashing down across the neck of Insane Wayne. Sean Harley covers, hooking the leg as Charles Galliant counts ...1...2...3! Sean Harley makes his second pin fall and the crowd look a little worried as Sean Harley gets to his feet and sets his eyes squarely on Troy Knight. The former MWF World Heavyweight Champion raises his eyes to look Sean Harley full in the face.] 

JP: Sean Harley has pulled out a two pinfall lead on his opponents here and he's really going for it now Sully.

Sully: I wonder if we'll see some tactics here.

[Sean Harley moves slowly across the ring and smiles wickedly as Troy Knight spits some blood clear from his face and squares up for a fight. The two men lock up and the crowd go wild as Troy Knight spins Sean Harley round and "Troy Boy" suddenly swings momentum back into his favour as he hooks a leg of Sean Harley and dragon screws him to the canvas. Wildfire is back up on his feet and he comes running across to help Troy Knight. The two men team up and the crowd cheer as they put the boots into Sean Harley.]

JP: Double team!

Sully: Tactics!

[Sean Harley attempts to roll out of the ring and get clear of the flying boots of Troy Knight and Wildfire but he can't get away from them as Wildfire spots this and leaps over to the side of the ropes and kicks Sean Harley away from them. Troy Knight pulls Sean Harley to his feet and throws him into the turnbuckle head fist. Harley slams against the steel pole and staggers backwards and right into the arms of Wildfire. The crowd roar as Wildfire hits a tiger suplex with a bridge pin, Harley is squashed up against the canvas and the crowd count with Charles Galliant ...1...2! Harley manages to break free of the bridge and Wildfire looks at Charles Galliant to check it was a two count. Troy Knight doesn't waste anytime and he pulls Sean Harley to his feet, Harley struggles but Troy Knight subdues him with a few slaps to the face, Knight calls Wildfire over and the two men hoist Harley up in the air with a double team suplex. They carry him around the ring and both fall backwards and with pin point accuracy they slam Sean Harley into the canvas. Harley arches his back in pain as he rolls over onto his front. Wildfire gets Harley back up to his feet and passes the limp body to Troy Knight.]

JP: These two have certainly slowed down the charge of Sean Harley...a few minutes ago he was the top man in this ring but he's struggling now.

Sully: Sean Harley's going to come back though and he can take heart from an incredible opening.

[Troy Knight lays out Sean Harley on the canvas as Wildfire makes his way to the turnbuckle. The crowd get to their feet and cheer on Wildfire as he climbs to the top rope and stands up on it. He makes the signal for the Crisis and leaps off into the direction of Sean Harley. Camera bulbs light up the area in Chicago as Troy Knight abandons the body of Sean Harley and gets out of the way as Wildfire comes crashing down onto "Phoenix". The body of Sean Harley spasms in pain as Wildfire connects with the Crisis and stays on the body of Harley for another pinfall. Charles Galliant makes the count ...1...2...3! The crowd roar with excitement as Wildfire completes the cover and they cheer as Troy Knight puts his own body across Sean Harley and looks for another pinfall, the crowd count with Galliant ...1...2! They look on in disbelief as the shoulder of Sean Harley manages to move a couple of inches off the mat and Troy Knight looks down in shock as Sean Harley opens his eyes and pushes Troy Knight off him.]

JP: How the hell?

Sully: This blows it all wide open, and Troy Knight isn't happy about that.

[Troy Knight lets a little pressure show as he remonstrates with referee Charles Galliant, the crowd are looking at each other and completely stunned by the ability of Sean Harley. Wildfire looks puzzled and doesn't seem sure what to do, he doesn't have much chance to think anymore as Insane Wayne thunders across the ring and smashes him round the back of the head with a clothesline. Wildfire drops to the canvas and Insane Wayne opens up a new front against Troy Knight who turns round at the noise from arguing with Charles Galliant and walks into the hand of Insane Wayne. The former General Manager of the MWF gives Troy Knight an evil look before lifting him clean off the ground and bringing him back down with a devastating choke slam.]

JP: Choke slam!

Sully: What a move!

[Insane Wayne ignores Troy Knight and instead grabs the head of Wildfire and pulls him to his feet, Insane Wayne doesn't waste anytime and the signal comes from him for the 'CIW'.]

JP: I hate this move...

JP: Tim!

[Wildfire is left standing in the centre of the ring by Insane Wayne...he stalks around him as Wildfire struggles to stay standing, the impact of the clothesline has obviously caused him serious distress, Wayne grabs Wildfire from behind and spins him round and clamps his hand on Wildfire's throat. He lifts Wildfire up and into a power bomb position. The crowd gasp as Wildfire is brought down at a frightening pace and Wayne has him pinned. The referee slides into position and the crowd jeer loudly as Wayne holds Wildfire in place ...1...2...3! Wayne pushes Wildfire off him and raises his arms in triumph at having got a pinfall.]

JP: Wayne joins the one pinfall club, I can't believe it but Troy Knight is the only man without a pinfall here tonight in his hometown.

JP: Let's take a look at how things stand, Sean Harley has two pinfalls and just needs to pin Troy Knight to win this final MWF match, Insane Wayne and Wildfire have one pin fall, while Troy Knight is yet to pin anyone and he's a former MWF World Heavyweight Champion.

[Troy Knight and Sean Harley are back on their feet and the crowd get fully behind Troy Knight...but he faces a tough challenge as Insane Wayne gets up and comes running at the former MWF World Heavyweight Champion. Troy Knight though side steps and Insane Wayne hits the ropes and comes back into the fist of Troy Knight and drops to the mat. Sean Harley is taken for a ride by Troy Knight as he's straddled from behind and Troy Knight wraps his arms around Harley's neck and squeezes tightly, Harley screams loudly as Troy Knight whispers something in his air and continues to squeeze tightly...around Harley's neck. Charles Galliant gives Knight a count of three to release the hold and he does...Harley crawls away trying to catch his breath, as Troy Knight grabs him from behind again, but this time Troy Knight pulls him to his feet and sends him running into the ropes and follows him and clotheslines Sean Harley clean over the top rope. Troy Knight shouts something down at Sean Harley before turning and bumping straight into Insane Wayne.]

JP: Looks like Troy could be in a spot of trouble here...

Sully: Not as big as Insane Wayne.

[Wayne grabs Knight by the throat with both hands and forces him away from the ropes and into the centre of the ring, Wayne lifts Troy Knight slightly off the mat and his feet dangle in mid-air. Knight kicks wildly trying to free himself but the grip of Insane Wayne is just too strong and Knight is gasping for breath....but a divine intervention happens. The prone body of Wildfire suddenly becomes alive, Wildfire looks up and spots what is happening, he rolls over and the crowd cheer loudly as Wildfire raises a fist up between the legs of Insane Wayne and slams it hard into his lower region. Insane Wayne screws his face up in pain as he drops Troy Knight, who lands on his feet and takes the opportunity. He raises his foot and catches Insane Wayne with the Heaven Sent, right to the face and Insane Wayne drops to the mat like a fly.]

JP: What a connection from Troy Knight, I think Insane Wayne is going to need a trip to the dentist after tonight.

Sully: Incredible impact, but Knight owes a debt to Wildfire on that one.

[The crowd are on their feet applauding Troy Knight, and also Wildfire, as Troy Knight hooks the leg of Insane Wayne and Charles Galliant is on hand, as ever, to make the count ...1...2...3! Insane Wayne is covered and Troy Knight gets the pinfall. Knight picks himself up and the crowd cheer as he looks for the cover on Wildfire. Wildfire struggles as Troy Knight attempts to pin him down.]

JP: Hang on a minute!

JP: This crowd don't seem to care, we're in Chicago and anything goes if you're name is Troy Knight.

Sully: Troy Knight's on the board now...

JP: And he's got Wildfire...

[Wildfire is sent running into the turnbuckle and he slumps down against it and Troy Knight makes a signal to the crowd that sends his hometown masses into hysteria.]

JP: Troy Knight's back on top...

JP: Tim!

[Troy Knight walks towards the fallen body of Wildfire, spread eagled underneath the turnbuckle and in the perfect position for the Rump Thump. Troy's fans are on their feet cheering as "Troy Boy" grabs the ropes and hauls himself up to the second rope...his young son is leaping for joy as his father jumps off the second rope and delivers the Rump Thump to the face of the laid out Wildfire. Wildfire can be heard screaming as Troy Knight comes down atop of him, Troy stays seated on Wildfire's face and smiles as Charles Galliant makes the count ...1...2...3! The fans roar as Troy Knight adds a second pinfall and Sean Harley gets a loud jeer as he steps into the ring and Troy Knight turns to face him. Harley has the look of an angry young man on his face as he squares up to Troy Knight.]

Sully: Two quick pinfalls and suddenly victory is in sight for Troy Knight...

Sully: Harley wants this though and Troy Knight will not have it his own way.

[Troy Knight and Sean Harley stand toe to toe in the centre of the ring, Harley chats something to Troy Knight and then pushes the former MWF World Heavyweight Champion in the chest..."Troy Boy" takes a step back and the smile is still on his face. Suddenly the look of Troy Knight changes and the smile changes to a glare. Sean Harley frowns and Troy Knight unloads a right hand, fast as a flash, that catches Sean Harley on the jaw. Harley clutches his jaw and moves backwards, but Troy Knight steps forward and again throws a punch to the other side of Sean Harley's jaw. Harley again moves back and holds his jaw. Troy Knight grabs Sean Harley by the head and forces him back towards the turnbuckle, Harley however breaks the hold and sends Troy Knight running to the ropes. Knight comes running back and ducks a standing clothesline from Harley...the crowd roar as Troy quickly rolls around the back of Harley and kicks him in the back of the knee. Harley is reduced to his knees by Troy Knight and the fans roar on "Troy Boy" as he runs to the opposite ropes and comes running back with a dropkick that slams into the back of Harley's head. "Phoenix" rolls clean out of the ring with the force of the move and Troy Knight follows him to the outside.]

JP: What a kick from Troy Knight, he made Sean Harley roll clean out of the ring.

Sully: Troy left it late but he's dominant now, I guess that is the difference in class... but we shouldn't write off Sean Harley yet.

[Sean Harley is down on the concrete floor outside as Troy Knight stands over him and he slowly pulls Harley to his feet. "Troy Boy" whips Sean Harley straight into the steel barrier that separates the fans from the wrestlers and follows him over to where Harley slumps against it. Bobby Knight suddenly shouts warning to his father as Jamie Harley comes running from around the other side of the ring with a steel chair...Troy Knight turns, but it's too late...the crowd scream as the steel chair slams into the face of Troy Knight and sends him crashing to the floor. Troy stays face down, a trickle of blood from the re-opened wound on his nose starts to wind itself away from his face and into the crowd. Sean Harley gets to his feet and he smiles at the intervention of his brother, Jamie Harley helps his brother to pull Troy Knight up to his feet and roll him into the ring. Sean Harley climbs up onto the outside of the ring and the crowd jeer as he takes a moment to taunt them before stepping into the ring. Both Wildfire and Insane Wayne are down as Sean Harley hooks the leg of Troy Knight and Charles Galliant counts ...1...2.! The crowd explode as Troy Knight raises a shoulder and breaks free of the cover. Sean Harley looks down to see the smiling face of Troy Knight that reaches up a hand and grabs Harley and pushes him off. Troy Knight springs to his feet with incredible agility and Harley gets up slowly....]

JP: Troy's winding up...

Sully: ...this is going to hurt!

[Sean Harley is wide-eyed as the boot of Troy Knight comes flying for his face, Harley doesn't have time to blink...let alone duck...as Heaven Sent connects with his head. Harley's neck seems to snap back and he drops slowly onto his back...his eyes tilted up to the bright lights above him. Troy Knight doesn't waste a second and he places an arm over Sean Harley and the referee counts. The crowd scream the numbers with Charles Galliant as his hand rises and falls in the warm Chicago air...1....2....3! The bell sounds and the fans leap to their feet around the arena.]

JP: He's done it! Troy Knight has won the final ever MWF match.

Peter Santos: And your winner, Troy Knight!

["Larger Than Life" is playing as Bobby Knight runs into the ring to be with his father, the fans cheer loudly as Bobby unfurls a small MWF flag and his father takes it and raises it to the crowd. Troy Knight places an arm around his son and punches the air with delight. Sean Harley is being brought around by Charles Galliant as Insane Wayne and Wildfire congratulate Troy Knight.]

JP: What a night it has been here, such emotional scenes.

JP: I don't know....just take in the atmosphere I guess.

[Troy Knight, Insane Wayne and Wildfire help Sean Harley to his feet and the four men take a bow for the applauding crowd, each man runs to a turnbuckle and in unison they raise their fists to the fans and the noise being generated is incredible.]

JP: This is it then.

JP: ....

[JP is about to finish what he's saying, when suddenly he's cut off. The screen goes black, no logo appears. The screen simply fades into nothing.]
