("Neocon" opening.)
David: Welcome to Cincinnati, Ohio, ladies and gentlemen! It's now Go Time, presented by MECCA! I'm David Mills.
Dick: And I'm Dick Broccoli, and we have a packed show tonight.
David: Yes, not only will Nykk be here, but also the Contender Star will be announced. And in the main event, it will be the UK Wrecking Crew's first tag title defense against the men they beat in the finals of the International Invitational, Reckless Abandon!
Dick: Also, the feud will finally be settled between the Eccentrics and KDX.
David: And that match will happen right now!
("Pajamarama" hits and the Eccentrics make their way to the ring.)
David: Here comes one half of the Eccentric Alliance, Huh and Cheesecake. This match against KDX and David Caldwell has been months in the making. It all started at our first show, and continued through the International Invitational and the MECCA Challenge.
Dick: Will Huh and Cheesecake get their hands on David Caldwell once again, or will Dick Togo and Kaz Hayashi finish the Eccentrics for their boss?
("Entre dos Tierras" hits and Kaientai Deluxe make their way to the ring, along with David Caldwell.)
David: Look at Caldwell, wearing the headband and waving the Japanese flag. He doesn't have a Japanese bone in his body.
Dick: He's just supporting his team. I hear he's really a dangerous martial artist.
David: Please. The only black belt he has is the one holding his pants up.
(KDX gets in the ring and Caldwell gets a mic.)
Caldwell: Hold on, Eccentrics. As everyone knows, the illegal man was pinned at the MECCA Challenge, and I just can't have that kind of shoddy officiating. Therefore, in accordance with my agreement with Katie Piehl, I have been given permission to name the referee for this contest. So let me introduce you to the special guest referee... ME!
(He takes off his shirt to reveal a ref's shirt.)
David: For heaven's sake! That despicable David Caldwell is going to take up refereeing again.
Dick: This is great, David! We finally get an impartial referee to keep control of the Eccentrics!
David: You get on me for smoking cigarettes, but what have YOU been smoking?
(FINISH: Caldwell helps his guys out wherever he can throughout the match, pulling all his usual tricks to keep the Eccentrics from getting a pin. Finally, when Togo nails Huh over the head with a chair, Caldwell declares that the match is now no holds barred. Togo makes the cover, but Cheesecake pulls Caldwell out of the ring. Hayashi and Togo double team Cheesecake and whip him into the ropes, lifting him into the air. Huh gives them a double low blow, allowing Cheesecake to fall back to his feet and execute a double Long Kiss Goodnight. Huh goes to the top rope and hits a moonsault on Togo. Caldwell rolls back in, and Cheesecake grabs the chair. He tells Caldwell to count unless he wants to get it, and Caldwell reluctantly makes the three count.)
Winners: The Eccentrics
David: The Eccentrics win the feud!
Dick: Wait a minute, they can't make the ref count under duress like that!
David: Why not? According to Caldwell, the match became no holds barred. He couldn't disqualify them.
(The Eccentrics celebrate as David Caldwell and KDX slink to the back.)
David: The Eccentrics now have to be considered in line for a title shot. After tonight, they could be facing their own friends.
Dick: Yeah, and what a rousing success that was the first time.
(In the locker room, Reckless Abandon sits around a monitor. The World Cup is between them.)
Spanky: Yes! All right, Eccentrics win!
Delirious: Heh, heh, heh, bah!
Spanky: Come on, let's go congratulate them!
(They sprint from the locker room, leaving the trophy behind. After a few moments, the Pyro Twins enter.)
Dusty: Well, look what we have here. It's like a trophy or an award of some kind.
Jay: Yes, it looks awfully similar to that one the UK Wrecking Crew was supposed to win.
Dusty: So what's it doing back here?
Jay: Well... you know what they say. Never look a gift horse in the mouth.
(He snatches up the trophy and the Pyro Twins exit the locker room with it.)
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "My Friend of Misery" hits and Misery makes her way to the ring.)
David: We're back here on Go Time, and it looks like the Pyro Twins have now made off with the World Cup.
Dick: I can only imagine what Jay and Dusty have planned for that trophy.
David: We're set for a preview of Punked Out here, as Misery will be taking on Ladies' Champ Lisa Letty in a non-title match.
Dick: Last week, Misery almost got one up on Lisa, but ended up nailing Shadow instead.
(They show clips from the previous week.)
("Edge of Seventeen" hits and Lisa Letty makes her way to the ring.)
David: The Ladies' Champ is here! This match could be very valuable for both individuals, because they get to see what their opponent is all about before they ever face for the prize of the ladies' division.
Dick: Absolutely, and if Misery could pull off a victory, that would mean worlds for her confidence going into their big match.
(FINISH: Lisa goes for a bulldog off the second rope, but Misery moves and Lisa accidentally clotheslines referee Nikki Alvarado. Misery clotheslines Lisa and then goes outside to get a chair. She takes a swing at Lisa, but Lisa ducks and kicks her in the midsection. Misery drops the chair, and Shadow runs down and slides in. She grabs the chair and swings at Misery, who ducks again. Shadow accidentally hits Lisa. She leans over to check on her, but gets sent out of the ring with a high knee to the back from Misery. Misery applies the Friendship Bracelet to Lisa as Nikki wakes up. Lisa taps out.)
Winner: Misery
David: I don’t believe it! Misery has just made the Ladies' Champion tap!
Dick: Now Misery knows that she can beat Lisa at Punked Out. The dimensions of this match just changed.
David: How bad does Shadow have to feel that she cost her friend Lisa the match? You know when Misery got that chair, she had to be thinking that she could get revenge for what happened to her last week, but it backfired.
(Shadow helps Lisa up, but Misery blasts them both from behind with the chair. As she yells at them, Nykk suddenly makes his way to the ring. He stands behind Misery as she backs up. She runs into Nykk and turns around. Nykk intimidates her until she flees from the ring. He waits for Nikki to help Lisa and Shadow from the ring and grabs a mic.)
David: It's Nykk! This is the first time we've seen him since the MECCA Challenge.
Nykk: It certainly is great to be back here in my promotion! I'll make this short and sweet, since I know you all didn't pay your money to see me blab on and on in the middle of the ring like Punk did last week. C.M. Punk, at the MECCA Challenge, you became the first MECCA Champion. You won a belt that I fought for from day one, and I only have one thing to say... congratulations. You see, not a lot of people get one over on me, but you managed to do it. You beat me so bad that I just couldn't stand up anymore. Does that make you better than me? Maybe. I'll tell you what I think. I think it means that you still have something to prove. You've beaten me once, Punk; let's see you do it again. Because this time I know how your mind works. I know your tricks, I know your counters, and I know how to beat you. That's why, right now, I'm challenging you to a rematch for the MECCA Championship! I want my rematch, Punk, and if I have to go through SELF in its entirety to get to you, then you're about to find out how this Alpha Wolf hunts!
("I've Got the Power" hits and Katie Piehl makes her way to the ring.)
David: Wait a minute, Katie Piehl is out here to interrupt Nykk.
Dick: Well, she is the authority of MECCA. Maybe she thought Nykk was going over his time.
(Katie gets a mic.)
Katie: Hold on, Nykk. Don't get too ahead of yourself. I'm not granting any matches for the MECCA Championship until the Contender Star is established, and that's what I'm out here to do right now. Ladies and gentlemen, it took me a while, but here's how this Contender Star is going to work. It's centered around the champion, and at any time, there will be five top contenders to the title. If a wrestler wants a title match, he has to beat someone on the Contender Star and take their spot. Every now and then, we'll run a match open to anyone on the roster to receive a shot, but mostly contenders will be pulled from the five points of the star. So, without further adieu, the initial Contender Star will be... Low Ki... Cynric... Alan Mayse... Eddie Crowe... and of course... you, Nykk. And I know you're going to object to this, but Nykk... you lost at the MECCA Challenge. Therefore, the man who gets the first title shot against Punk will be the man who beat Low Ki at the MECCA Challenge, and had a strong showing against Punk last week... Alan Mayse.
(Nykk starts to protest, and Katie holds up her hand.)
Katie: He will take on C.M. Punk for the title at Punked Out. You'll just have to wait until that's over before you can get your title shot. But... but... since I knew you'd be upset, I'm offering you a concession for Punked Out. With the exception of C.M. Punk or Alan, I'm giving you a free match. You can face anyone on the entire roster, from Low Ki to Bill Bicknell. The choice is yours.
Nykk: Anyone on the roster, huh? You know as well as I do, Katie, that I'm this promotion's best hope of defeating Punk. If it takes me a month or a year to get it done, then that's what it's going to take. But I'll play along with your little "concession." You see, Punk made this personal for me when he started interfering in my relationship with my best friends. There's a wrestler in the back who I would love to get my hands on, and just show him first hand all the misery and torment he's inflicted on me, Jay and Dusty in the last few months. So at Punked Out, on May 28, I want to wrestle... Eddie Crowe!
David: Whoa! Nykk wants Jay's little brother in Louisville?
Katie: If that's what you want, then that's what you'll get. At Punked Out, it will be Nykk vs. Eddie Crowe.
Nykk: Just one more thing, Katie. After I'm done with Eddie, I'm not stopping until I defeat Punk for that title he and Eddie stained with my blood... and not only that... I will force Punk to tap out to me, just like he should have done at the MECCA Challenge. His doom is coming... trust me.
(He throws down the mic as "Destroy" plays and leaves Katie in the ring.)
David: Strong words from Nykk, who will not get his rematch with Punk at Punked Out. Instead, it will be Punk defending against Alan Mayse, and Nykk going one on one with Eddie Crowe.
Dick: That should be a great match. Eddie's undefeated in singles competition. Will Nykk be next on his list of defeated opponents?
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Cynric barges into the locker room where Eddie Crowe is talking with Jay.)
Jay: I'm telling you, you could take Punk if you wanted.
Eddie: I'm not asking for a title shot against Punk. That's wrong!
Cynric: Eddie! I want to talk to you! (to Jay) You shut your mouth! Eddie!
Eddie: What?
Cynric: Just because you've got Nykk at Punked Out, I don't want you to forget that there's still unfinished business between me and you. That's why I want your ass in the ring next week on Go Time. Why don't you stop being a coward and face me like a man?
Jay: You think you can come in here and talk to a Crowe like that? Cynric, if you even think about touching Eddie...
(Eddie holds up a hand.)
Eddie: No, Jay. I've got this. Cynric... I've admitted before that I wasn't ready to face you. And now, at Punked Out, I have one of the biggest stars of MECCA asking to wrestle me. So as far as I'm concerned, that means that I am ready. Next week, I accept your challenge. I will meet you one on one, because not only am I ready, but I'm ready to beat you.
(Cynric nods.)
Cynric: That's what I wanted to hear. I'll see you next week.
(He leaves.)
Jay: You sure about this?
Eddie: He's a dead man.
(Meanwhile, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Joey Sprinklers.)
Bill: Joey Sprinklers, you recently returned to MECCA after a short absence, but you seem to have a case of bad luck recently. You're still looking for your first victory here in MECCA.
Joey: Bill, don't you think that you would be on a losing streak as well? Since I've gotten to MECCA, I've felt like an outsider. The same friends I had in RCW, like Nykk, shun me now. The Pyro Twins gave me Final Darkness last week, and my own tag partner turned on me! Is it because I'm not stiff enough? I don't have that edge that MECCA looks for? I tell you what, I never thought I needed nobody, but it's hard making it on your own, man. I just don't know what to do anymore. Nobody seems happy to have me here.
Bill: Well, in all...
Joey: Bill? Would you be my friend?
Bill: Actually, I have to get to the Laundromat. I have some dirty socks to wash.
Joey: Oh, cool. I got an uncle who owns one here in Cincy, and I can get your clothes washed for free...
Bill: Actually, I... have too many quarters. I need to... get rid of some. You know how it is. Hey, good luck with this whole wrestling thing.
(Bill leaves rather quickly and Joey looks dejected.)
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Can't Stop" hits and Reckless Abandon make their way to the ring.)
David: We're back on Go Time, and Delirious is tweakin' out!
Dick: These two have a great opportunity tonight, because not only are they getting their rematch for the tag titles, but the Eccentric Alliance revealed last week that they stole the World Cup trophy, and that has to get in the heads of Jack Fletcher and Andy Nathans.
David: But earlier on, we saw the Pyro Twins swipe the trophy from the Eccentric Alliance dressing room. What is the UKWC going to do when they realize that the Eccentric Alliance won't be able to hold up their end of the bargain?
("Ironman" hits and the UK Wrecking Crew make their way to the ring.)
David: The MECCA Tag Team Champions are entering the arena, and hopefully they won't feel that they have to cheat to beat Reckless Abandon like they did at the MECCA Challenge.
Dick: And now they want their trophy as well. Who knows what the Pyro Twins have planned for it.
(FINISH: Nathans tries to superplex Spanky off the top rope, but Spanky counters in midair into a DDT. Nathans staggers up, out on his feet, but Delirious squashes him with Shadows Over Hell. He covers and gets an extremely close two count. Fletcher comes in and clotheslines Delirious, but Spanky dropkicks him through the ropes. Spanky goes for a somersault plancha, but Fletcher catches him and flips him over, draping Spanky across the guardrail. In the ring, Nathans ducks a clothesline from Delirious and goes for a back suplex. Delirious lands on his feet, but Nathans dropkicks him in the ankle without even looking back. Delirious goes down as Fletcher comes back in the ring. They execute the Wrecking Ball and Nathans covers, getting the three count.)
Winners: The UK Wrecking Crew
David: The UK Wrecking Crew did it, polishing off Reckless Abandon without any help and continuing their undefeated tag team streak.
Dick: These two Brits are very impressive, but as they were able to get over that scare from Reckless Abandon quick enough and rebound to the victory.)
(The Eccentrics come out to tend to Reckless Abandon. Fletcher grabs a mic.)
Fletcher: All right... we lived up to our part of the bargain. You freaks got your title shot, and we reaffirmed what we established at the MECCA Challenge, and that's the fact that we are the best tag team in MECCA. Now give us our trophy!
(Cheesecake slides into the ring and tries to explain that he doesn't know what happened to the trophy.)
Fletcher: You don't know what happened to the trophy? The trophy that we worked for three months to win? That's the wrong answer.
(He hits Cheesecake with the mic and starts stomping him. Nathans comes over to help, and Huh slides into the ring. The two teams start brawling.)
David: The UKWC didn't want to hear that the Eccentric Alliance managed to lose the trophy, and now it's on!
Dick: I don't blame them for being upset. They made a deal, and the Eccentric Alliance didn't deliver their end.
David: We're out of time for this week, fans. Be sure to tune in next week, and maybe we'll find out what the Pyro Twins have planned for the World Cup.
(Fletcher whips Huh into the guardrail as Cheesecake and Nathans duke it out to end the show.)
