("Neocon" opening.)
David: This week, MECCA make its debut in the Deep South, as we present Go Time from Atlanta, Georgia! I'm David Mills, along with Dick Broccoli, and we have a MECCA World Title Match in the main event tonight for all the fans here in the south as well as you at home as Eddie Crowe defends against Cheesecake!
Dick: Also, Ronin Fox will take on Dusty Schneble of the Pyro Twins!
David: And in the ladies' division, Shadow will take on Heather Star right here tonight.
("Afternoon Delight" hits, and the David Caldwell Project makes its way to the ring.)
David: That god-awful music can only mean one thing, and that's the co-owner of MECCA, David Caldwell, who added three new members to his growing stable at At Your Own Risk, when the CDT blindsided the Surgeons to help Stage One get the victory in that Triangle Tag Match.
Dick: Here in MECCA, we refer to our wrestlers as competitors, but Caldwell wants his guys to be known as "entertainers."
(Caldwell gets a mic.)
Caldwell: Ladies and gentlemen, bear with me, because I, David Caldwell, have a few announcements to make. We'll get to the action shortly, because I only plan on taking up about twenty minutes of your time. First of all, I want to welcome Concession Boy, Dreamo and Medea Knight into the fold, and let you know that you did well this past Saturday. Stick with me, kids, and your stars will do nothing but rise while I'm in charge. Now, I'm sure you're all wondering what I meant last week when I said that MECCA needs more sports entertainment. There have been a lot of upset twelve year olds, bitching on the Internet in their rooms in their parents' basements, and everywhere I go people are asking me if MECCA is going to become more like certain other organizations. It's not that I don't appreciate the wrestling action we have here in MECCA, but what you people fail to realize is that wrestling is sports entertainment. You can't have one without the other. You're all scared of change, but people, change is good. The other organization I referred to earlier has made millions and millions of dollars in profits worldwide because of their sports entertainment philosophy. And that's what I want to do with MECCA. I want to take it to the top of the sports entertainment industry, but I can't do that if you fans are against me. So what I decided to do, a bunch of months ago, was do everything I could to acquire ownership of MECCA. And when I didn't have the funds, it was Concession Boy who was able to help me out with all the money he embezzled after being underappreciated for months and months not only being expected to wrestle, but sell merchandise as well! So yeah, this has been months in the making. Step one was to acquire MECCA. Step two was to assemble a group of the most entertaining guys out there, because I know in my heart that they will win all you fans over, and then you will be on my side! Changes are coming, and whether you decide to ride the wave, or be crushed beneath it, you will all eventually see that the Project is an A+!
(As Caldwell congratulates himself on his new catchphrase, "I've Got the Power" hits and Katie Piehl makes her way onto the stage.)
David: That entire speech was positively sickening, and thank goodness we have the other owner of MECCA, Katie Piehl, out here to put an end to this!
(Katie gets a mic.)
Katie: Hold on there, Caldwell. In case you've forgotten, you are only co-owner of MECCA. I understand that when Nykk sold his share of the company that the new owner might have some different ideas and philosophies. I can respect that, but when you fail to communicate to me any of these plans you seem to have made, I have a little bit of a problem with that. You see, these fans are what made MECCA what it is today, and I will not turn my back on what they want to see, no matter how much money I might be losing out on. But I get the whole schtick... you come out here, give a twenty-minute promo, mock us with all the sports entertainment clichés, because you know it gets under our skin. But let me tell you something. This promotion is a professional wrestling company. There is a difference between that and sports entertainment, and one of those differences is this: if you're going to come out here and take up all this precious air time, you'd better have a damn good match to back up your words.
Caldwell: Katie, I understand that change is difficult, and you're still holding onto the past, and it's okay to feel that way! I understand! And if it's any consolation, I will do everything in my power to make the transition as smooth as possible. That's why, when we come back from the break, right here in this very ring, my very own entertainer Huh will take on the Human Tornado!
David: Huh vs. The Human Tornado! That's... well, no disrespect to those two, but I was expecting something a little bit bigger. We have to go to a commercial, but apparently when we come back, Huh takes on the Human Tornado.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Cool" hits and the Human Tornado makes his way to the ring.)
David: We're back here on Go Time, as the Human Tornado makes his way down the aisle. Huh and the rest of the David Caldwell Project are already in the ring, and we're preparing for a one on one contest here.
Dick: This is the match that David Caldwell promised us for taking up all that time at the beginning of the show, and we'll see if it delivers.
(FINISH: Shortly into the match, Tornado makes a comeback against Huh, and gives him an enzugiri. Huh, who is still wrestling blinded, takes some swings, but Tornado is nowhere around. Tornado dropkicks Huh into the corner, and then jumps to the second rope, and takes Huh down with a Tornado DDT. As he goes for the cover, David Caldwell tells the timekeeper to ring the bell and he does.)
Winner: Draw
David: What the hell's going on here? Tornado had this won, but Caldwell just ended the match!
(Caldwell gets a mic and gets in the ring.)
Caldwell: Hold on, Tornado. I wanted this match to set an example for all the fans and everyone in the back. You see, we can't have guys like you coming out here and doing too much, because it makes it harder for our main eventers to get over later on. Therefore, on all undercard TV matches, I've instituted a five minute time limit from this point on. Your match just hit that mark, so I rule this match a time limit draw!
(Tornado tries to get at Caldwell, but Stage One slide in and start beating him up. Saito gives Tornado Go 2 Sleep, and he and Chan bounce off the ropes. Huh whips Tornado into them, and they him with Stage Completed.)
David: What kind of crock is this? Five minute time limit for all undercard matches? How are our opening guys supposed to move up the card if they can't showcase what they can do?
Dick: Really, if they end up showing up the main eventers, that lets the fans know who should really be main eventing.
David: This David Caldwell Project is going to be a headache. I'm telling everyone right now. Let's just go backstage, because we've got Bill Bicknell with Ronin Fox and Cynric.
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Ronin Fox and Cynric.)
Bill: Fox, you and Cynric are still the MECCA Tag Team Champions after At Your Own Risk, but you're not finished with the Pyro Twins, because tonight you take on Dusty Schneble one on one.
Fox: That's right, Bill, I'm not done with the Pyro Twins, and I'm not done with the EDJ. You see, we have a MECCA World Champion who has been going around beating everybody. Well, if you remember back to your third title defense, Eddie, it was against me. And you never beat me, did you? With my victory over your best friend Dusty tonight, I'm in prime position to come after your MECCA World Championship. So at Scared Stiff, Eddie, I say we do this and I'll show you who should really be the MECCA World Champion.
Cynric: Wait a minute, bro... you're challenging Eddie Crowe for Scared Stiff and all, and that's fine. But if you're wrestling him, that means we won't be defending the tag titles. What am I supposed to do?
Fox: It's real simple, brother. Just like we're the stiffest competition MECCA has to offer, you should prove that you're the stiffest competitor period. You should enter the Stiff Strike Challenge and win the damn thing.
Cynric: Yeah... yeah, I can see that. Okay, Katie Piehl, David Caldwell, if you're watching, I hereby enter myself as the first participant in this year's Stiff Strike Challenge. Anyone and everyone in MECCA can enter, but only I'm walking out as the winner this year.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Burning Times" hits and Dusty Schneble makes his way to the ring.)
David: Finally, the action can get underway here on Go Time, as there's no way this match will have a five minute time limit. The Pyro Twins would burn Caldwell alive if that were the case.
Dick: Dusty is coming off an unsuccessful attempt at regaining the tag titles, so I'm sure he's not even thinking about Caldwell right now.
("Did My Time" hits and Ronin Fox makes his way to the ring.)
David: Ronin Fox wants to use this match as a stepping stone to gather momentum to challenge Eddie Crowe. If he does get the win, he is certainly has great leverage, since he'll be beating another member of the Contender Star.
Dick: Fox wants to be the first double champion in MECCA history come Scared Stiff, and he is right in that he's the only guy Eddie has defended the title against and not beaten.
(FINISH: Fox goes for Around the World in 18 Seconds, but Dusty gets a boot up on the last corner clothesline. He gives Fox a uranage suplex, and then goes to the top rope. He tries a kneedrop, but Fox moves. Dusty limps to his feet, and Fox goes to the second rope. He tries a double axehandle, but Dusty gives him a fist to the midsection. He whips Fox into the ropes and goes for the Rope Burn I, but Fox counters into the Tail End. He covers and gets the three count.)
Winner: Ronin Fox
David: Fox picks up the important victory, and you know he'll be knocking at the champ's door very soon.
Dick: But keep in mind, it could be Cheesecake that Fox faces at Scared Stiff, as he goes for the World Title later tonight.
David: We'll be right back, fans.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Afternoon Delight" is playing, and the David Caldwell Project is in the ring again.)
David: We're back, and I can't believe these idiots are out here again!
Caldwell: As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted earlier, the David Caldwell Project is about to bring Sports Entertainment to MECCA! And that's why to make my plan work, I needed money, and nobody had more money than the OCB himself, Concession Boy! Not only that, but damn you guys are entertaining. That sleep thing you do, Dreamo, it cracks me up every time. And Medea Knight... uh... you're entertaining too, I guess, but being a woman much less so. Anyway, as thanks for helping me out, I figure I'd let you do whatever you want right now. Just name it and I'll grant it.
(Concession Boy grabs the mic, but "Body Bomb" hits and the Surgeons make their way onto the stage. Walters has a mic.)
Walters: Wait just one minute. Caldwell, did you think we were going to let you get away with what you did to us this past Saturday? We went into that match thinking that even though the CDT were our opponents, we were still on the same page. But Stryker could have gotten a concussion thanks to that loaded pillowcase, and that's probably what you wanted all along, wasn't it? Then you'd be free to dominate the tag team scene here in MECCA. Well, I say you don't prove anything until you beat us fair and square, so tell your new boss to make it happen!
CB: You want some of this? Come on down here. Mr. Caldwell, make the match.
Caldwell: But... there's no room for wrestling matches right now...
CB: Just do it. This won't take long.
Caldwell: Fine.
(Caldwell motions to the back, and referee Matt Hitchcock comes out and slides into the ring just as the Surgeons get in. He calls for the bell.)
David: We've got tag team action right here, as the Surgeons attempt some revenge on the men who cost them the match at At Your Own Risk, the CDT!
Dick: And hopefully, this one won't have a five minute time limit.
(FINISH: Dreamo goes for a vertical suplex on Stryker, but Stryker escapes and dropkicks him out of the ring and into Huh and Stage One. CB goes for a top rope hurricanrana, but Stryker catches him, and hoists him up, turning him around so he's on his shoulders. Walters and Stryker give him the Human Error, and Walters covers for the three count.)
Winners: The Surgeons
David: So much for the CDT and the David Caldwell Project, as they were just soundly defeated by the Surgeons.
(Dreamo comes at Stryker with the loaded pillowcase, but he ducks and gives him a German suplex. Walters picks up the pillowcase, but Dreamo rolls out of the ring. Instead, Walters hits CB right in the face with the pillowcase. CB goes down, holding his jaw.)
Dick: Walters just cracked CB right across the jaw with that pillowcase, and keep in mind that there's a brick and who knows what else in there!
David: He could have broken CB's jaw for sure.
(CB rolls out of the ring in pain as Caldwell calls for some paramedics. They come down, and help CB out as Stage One and Huh jump the Surgeons from behind. They beat them down, and Dreamo joins in as Caldwell and Knight get in the ring.)
Caldwell: You two are going to pay for that, because there's no way that I will ever let you bore the audience like that again! And now you might have taken out one of my biggest entertainers, and I should fire you, but I think what I'll do is...
(Caldwell's mic suddenly cuts out, and "Fighter's Passion" hits. Low Ki comes through the curtain and makes his way to ringside.)
David: It's Low Ki! He's back from Japan, and he just received a thunderous ovation from this crowd!
Dick: You know he hasn't been liking what he's been seeing all night, David!
(Low Ki slides into the ring, and the David Caldwell Project scatters. Ki calls for a mic, and gets it.)
Low Ki: Excuse me for interrupting... but when I left for Japan, this place was about professional wrestling, and not sports entertainment. I don't know what happened while I was over there, but I notice that Nykk is nowhere to be found, and this moron is running half the show. Well, David Caldwell, apparently you don't understand what separates wrestling from sports entertainment. Dedication, passion, discipline... I guarantee that the real competitors in the back each have more by themselves than your entire crew combined. And if you want to send one of your guys into this ring right now, I'll prove it to you. Because it will not take me more than five minutes to beat any of you.
(Caldwell cautiously gets back in the ring.)
Caldwell: Low Ki... I didn't know you were back already. But look, things that are going on right now are way bigger than you, and you can't change it. But if you want one of my guys, fine... but since we have all these unscheduled matches, so there will be a five minute time limit. But if I do this for you, I want something in return. If you cannot get the job done in five minutes, I want you in the David Caldwell Project. That means you work for me and me alone. If I want you to usher in the era of sports entertainment by leading my group, you do my bidding. If I decide to give you a pizza delivery boy gimmick, you do my bidding. Is that acceptable to you?
Low Ki: Just ring the damn bell.
(Caldwell motions for Ryan Saito to come in, and he slides into the ring and has a stare down with Low Ki.)
David: Low Ki must be confident to put all that on the line just for a chance to get his hands on the David Caldwell Project, and it looks like Saito is going to be Caldwell's man here.
(FINISH: As it gets close to the five minute mark, Ki whips Saito into the corner. He prepares for the Tidal Crush, but Caldwell grabs his leg. Saito attacks from behind, and hits a German suplex with a bridge for two. He goes for Go 2 Sleep, but Low Ki knees him in the head as he's lifted into the air. Saito nails Ki with a thrust kick, and then strikes a martial arts stance. Ki kicks his hand out of the way and spins all the way around, nailing Saito in the side of the head with a roundhouse kick. Saito falls limp to the mat, and Ki applies the Dragon Clutch. Saito quickly taps.)
Winner: Low Ki
David: Low Ki just did it, with minimal trouble, and I'm told the time of that match was 4:43, which means we won't be seeing Low Ki in the David Caldwell Project any time soon.
(Low Ki crouches over Saito's limp body and glares at Caldwell. Jamie Chan runs into the ring and clotheslines Low Ki from behind. He drags Saito out of the ring, and he and Dreamo help him up the aisle as the David Caldwell Project makes its retreat. Ki gets up and glares at Chan.)
Dick: Chan went in there to save his partner, but all he really did was draw the ire of Low Ki. This does not bode well for the David Caldwell Project.
David: Up next, it will be ladies' division action, as Shadow takes on Heather Star!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Cheesecake is stretching, preparing for his World Title Match, when Coquette wanders into the locker room.)
Coquette: All set, mon ami?
Cheesecake: Are you kidding? I'm in the be'th't shape of my life, and tonight, Eddie Crowe isn't going to know what hit him. Eddie, tonight that belt i'th coming home to the mo'th't th'andout wrestler in this company. Th'omebody's going down, and when that happen'th, we'll have a new MECCA Champion.
(In the arena, "Dance Commander" hits and Heather Star makes her way to the ring.)
David: Confident words from the challenger in the main event tonight, Cheesecake, but right now it's time for the ladies of MECCA to take the ring.
Dick: Heather Star has stalled somewhat lately, but now is her chance to shine against one of the founding mothers of MECCA's ladies' division.
("Gangsta Bitch" hits and Shadow makes her way to the ring.)
David: Shadow has been on a roll recently, first winning a Four Corners Match a few weeks ago, and then was on the winning side of a six-woman tag last week, and she is just a couple of victories away from a title shot against LuFisto.
Dick: Shadow is a former Ladies' Champion herself, and would love to repeat that success.
(FINISH: Heather misses the Falling Star Press, and Shadow goes for the Interceptor. Star ducks and rolls Shadow up for a two count. She clotheslines Shadow and signals for the Greetings from Heaven. She gets Shadow on her shoulders, but Shadow hits her with rights and drops behind her, dumping her on her head with a back suplex. Heather rolls to her feet, and Shadow gives her a DDT. Shadow puts Star's arm across her own throat and then rolls over, bridging and choking out Star with her own arm. After a few moments, Heather taps out.)
Winner: Shadow
David: Impressive victory by Shadow, as she continues to pick up wins in hopes of getting a title shot.
Dick: She looks more focused than ever, and I'm sure she has plans for LuFisto.
David: Up next is our main event World Title Match. Eddie Crowe defends against Cheesecake when we return!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Shadow.)
Bill: Shadow, first off congratulations on yet another victory, and I understand that you have something to say to the current Ladies' Champion LuFisto.
Shadow: LuFisto, you've been a thorn in my side for years now, and though we were on the same page for a while, you were the first to jump ship and side behind Gail Kim when I was the one who put the Dangerous Liaison together. But now I'm free from all the shackles imposed upon me by that group, and I want to regain what's rightfully mine. So get ready, LuFisto, because I'm coming after that Ladies' Title, and when I win it you will realize that you should have stuck with me.
(In the arena, "Filthy/Gorgeous" hits and Cheesecake makes his way to the ring, accompanied by Coquette.)
David: It's time for our World Title Match, as Cheesecake has been nothing but successful since breaking away from the Eccentric Alliance, though that success has a lot to do with Coquette.
Dick: We'll see if she can take him all the way to the World Title, as Cheesecake has come close several times to that belt, but has never been able to get it.
("Noots" hits and Eddie Crowe makes his way to the ring.)
David: It's been nearly six months since Eddie Crowe won the World Title at the MECCA Challenge II, and it seems like no one can stop him, though Cheesecake will certainly try tonight, and Ronin Fox is waiting in the wings.
Dick: Fox vs. Eddie and Fox vs. Cheesecake are both distinct possibilities right now, and we'll have to wait and see how this match goes.
Jared: Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Go Time main event! This contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the MECCA World Championship! Introducing first, the challenger... from Bellbrook, Ohio... weighing in at 230 lbs... he is a former MECCA Tag Team Champion... Cheeeesecaaaaake! And his opponent... also from Bellbrook, Ohio, and weighing in at 195 lbs... he is the current reigning and defending MECCA World Heavyweight Champion... Eddieeeee Croooooowe!
(FINISH: Cheesecake goes for the Long Kiss Goodnight, but Eddie counters with a snapmare and rolls him over with a crucifix for a two count. Cheesecake gets up first and clotheslines Eddie. He goes for the Screw-Driver, but Eddie reverses the waistlock and rolls Cheesecake up. He rolls him all the way through and hits a release German suplex. Cheesecake backs up into a corner, and Eddie gives him a running dropkick. He hits the running brainbuster and then hits the Eddie Dive. However, as he makes the cover, Ronin Fox runs down and slides into the ring and attacks Eddie, causing the ref to call for the bell.)
Winner: Eddie Crowe
David: Ronin Fox has jumped the MECCA Champion, who will win this match by disqualification. What the hell is he doing down here!?
(Eddie fights back and whips Fox into the ropes. However, Fox dropkicks the ankle, and Eddie goes down. Fox gives him a curb stomp.)
Dick: He's sending a message, David. Fox is the only guy that Eddie hasn't beaten in a title defense, though I guess you could say the same about Cheesecake now.
(Ronin Fox poses with the belt before throwing it on Eddie's prone body.)
David: Fox wants that title, and just may get it at Scared Stiff, but we'll have to see if there's an official ruling on this next week, because we're out of time. Thank you for joining us, fans!
