("Neocon" opening.)
Skippy: Hello, fans, and welcome to MECCA, as we present Go Time from the East Coast as we make our debut here in Trenton, New Jersey! I'm Skippy, along with Dick Broccoli, and tonight we have a big tag team main event, as Nykk and Kevin Stone will team up to go against the Backseat Boyz!
Dick: Also, the Women's World Cup lower brackets continue as we determine who faces off with Sara Del Rey in the finals. It will be Canada's Gail Kim vs. the USA's Daizee Haze!
Skippy: Speaking of the ladies, the challenge was made last week. The Ladies' Champion Kelly Schweickart will take on the former champion Shadow and her challenger for Melee, Zoe Alexander, in a non-title match.
("Body Bomb" hits and the Surgeons make their way to the ring.)
Skippy: And we're kicking things off with tag team action as the Surgeons look to re-establish themselves in the tag team ranks.
Dick: Walters and Stryker had a great few first months, but since they failed to win the tag titles, they've been in a slump. But here's their chance to turn it around.
("Soul Creation" hits and Ronin Fox and Cynric make their way to the ring.)
Skippy: The brothers Fox and Cynric are former tag team champs, but we know that Fox will be one half of the main event at the MECCA Challenge III when he goes for the MECCA World Championship in New York City.
Dick: Fox also has this issue with Matt Stryker, who he beat two weeks ago here on Go Time.
(FINISH: The Surgeons go for the Human Error on Fox, but Cynric trips Walters from the outside and drags him to the floor, ramming him into the guardrail. Fox gives Stryker a reverse rana, and then tells Cynric to lift him on his shoulders. Cynric does so, and Fox goes to the top, and they hit the Dead End. Fox covers and gets the three count.)
Winners: Ronin Fox and Cynric
Skippy: Fox and Cynric are successful, and once again Fox is on an unbelievable hot streak, beating Stryker once again.
Dick: However, this is the last we'll see of Fox and Cynric until after Melee, as they'll be in England with Eddie Crowe and Alan Mayse.
Skippy: When we come back, the Women's World Cup continues right here on Go Time!
(In the locker room, the Pyro Twins are talking.)
Jay: So you want to do a post-show bonfire tonight?
Dusty: I don't know, is the Pope Catholic? I'm always up for some...
(Nykk enters.)
Nykk: Hey, you guys. I've been looking for you.
Jay: What's up?
Nykk: Listen, don't be alarmed, but Brother Jim has been sighted somewhere in the building.
Dusty: What!?
Nykk: I don't know how he got in, and I don't know why he's here bothering us again after all these years, but I think we need to do something about him.
Jay: Damn straight. Unfortunately, we have a match tonight.
Nykk: No, I'm serious, you two. I may not be your boss anymore, but I am your friend, and you know how I feel about that guy. I want him dead.
Dusty: Sure. Whatever you say, buddy. We'll look for him right after our match.
Nykk: Thanks. I've got a match of my own to prepare for, so I need to find Kevin. See you guys later.
(Nykk leaves.)
Jay: What's he so up in arms about Brother Jim for? I didn't think he ever regarded him as anything other than a minor nuisance.
Dusty: I don't know, but I know I hate the self-righteous prick. Let's see if we can convince him to never come back.
Jay: Sounds good to me.
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Brackish" hits and Gail Kim makes her way to the ring.)
Skippy: We're back with the second to last match in the lower brackets of the Women's World Cup, as the winner will take on Sara Del Rey at Melee this Saturday.
Dick: Gail Kim has been on a hot streak in the lower brackets, starting all the way at the bottom and just steamrolling through everybody. This is her chance to go to Melee in her hometown of Toronto.
("Sensi" hits and Daizee Haze makes her way to the ring.)
Skippy: The Haze has certainly been impressive in this tournament, and has beaten some very notable competitors, including two former Ladies' Champions, LuFisto and Lisa Letty.
Dick: If she is to win tonight and face Del Rey, it will once again be two US competitors going at it for the honor of going to the finals against Ireland's Rebecca Knox.
(FINISH: Daizee hits a heart punch and goes for a Yakuza Kick, but Gail catches her foot and sweeps the leg, going for the Stretch Muffler. Daizee makes it to the ropes, and Gail pulls her to her feet. Daizee knees her in the midsection and hits the Mind Trip. She covers, but Gail gets a foot over the bottom rope. Daizee goes to the top rope and tries a missile dropkick, but Gail moves and then applies the Stretch Muffler. Daizee taps out after a few moments.)
Winner: Gail Kim
Skippy: Gail is going to her hometown of Toronto when MECCA debuts for Melee!
Dick: What a win for Kim, as the former Ladies' Champ plans on taking this all the way to the finals and bringing the World Cup to her home country of Canada.
Skippy: More MECCA action when we return with a Four Corners tag match!
(Commercial Break)
(In the locker room, David Caldwell has Bryan Danielson, Huh, Zoe Alexander and the CDT gathered around him.)
Caldwell: All right, guys, we have a big night coming up this Saturday. David Caldwell Sports Entertainment makes its debut in Canada. You all have big matches... Bryan, I know that you're looking forward to stepping in the ring with Nykk.
Danielson: You know, ever since MECCA began, Nykk has been the top dog around here. It was understandable once upon a time, because he was co-owner and basically had Katie Piehl in his back pocket. But now that the regime has changed, it's time for some new stars to step forward, ones who aren't afraid to go mainstream, and at Melee the course of history changes.
Caldwell: That's right, and Dreamo, CB, you two have that match against Tornado and Delirious. It should be a night off, so go get 'em. Zoe, you have a little bit of a tougher task. Can I count on you to take the title from Kelly?
Zoe: I can guarantee it, Mr. Caldwell. Tonight, your little starlet is going to step into the ring with two of the ladies' division's best, and I'm going to beat Kelly and take her pride. And at Melee, I'm going to take her title.
Caldwell: That leaves you, Huh. You have this Anything Goes Match against Kevin Stone. Are you feeling hardcore?
Huh: I'm feeling hardcore, and I'm all set. I'd like to say that Stone won't know what hit him, but I'm going to make sure he knows exactly what hit him.
Caldwell: All right, we have four big matches, and I say we sweep the so-called competitors of MECCA and show that from now on, we are the ones who will dictate what the fans want and will see.
(In the arena, "Kobrakai" hits and the Killer Kanines make their way to the ring.)
Skippy: What gall by David Caldwell, saying that he's going to be the one to decide what the fans want. Here in MECCA, we have always given the fans what they wanted, and that's hard-hitting, fast-paced action. We don't claim to be pro wrestling and then only deliver six minutes of action for every hour, we're not some scrambled egg ADD stunt show, and we damn sure don't shove "sports entertainment" down our fans' throats when that's not what they want to see.
Dick: Amen to that, and we're set for more MECCA action as we speak with the Killer Kanines in this Four Corners tag match.
("Cool" hits and the Human Tornado and Delirious make their way to the ring.)
Skippy: Tornado and Delirious were chosen to face the CDT for the tag titles at Melee because Caldwell knows that MECCA champions are only required to defend their belts once in the calendar month, and he thinks this is going to be an easy night for his guys.
Dick: These two are goofy, but never underestimate them. They did take home an upset victory against the UK Wrecking Crew a couple weeks back.
("Problems" hits and the UK Wrecking Crew makes their way to the ring.)
Skippy: Nathans and Fletcher definitely want to get back in contention for the titles that they made, and winning a Four Corners match like this is a great way to break ahead of the pack.
Dick: They've also got a big eight-man tag coming up at Melee.
("Burning Times" hits and the Pyro Twins make their way to the ring.)
Skippy: Dusty and Jay will team with two of their opponents tonight, the Killer Kanines to take on the UK Wrecking Crew and the Backseat Boyz at Melee, but they've also been scouring the back, searching for Brother Jim.
Dick: Brother Jim is nothing but a troublemaker, and Nykk is especially upset that he interrupted his promo time a while back. He asked the Pyro Twins to put an end to the obnoxious preacher tonight.
(FINISH: On the floor, Anubis tries to powerslam Fletcher, but he escapes and pushes Anubis right into the ring post, knocking him down. Wolf lifts Nathans into the air, but he manages to hit a double dropkick onto Tornado and Delirious. He then hits a pescado onto the Pyro Twins on the outside, but they catch him. However, Fletcher bounces off the ropes with a somersault plancha, taking out all three men. In the ring, Wolf goes for the Twig Snap on Tornado, but Delirious catches him and drops to his knees, and they jar Wolf's back. Tornado picks him up wheelbarrow style as Delirious ascends the ropes and they hit a facebuster/Shadows Over Hell combo. Tornado covers Wolf and gets the three count.)
Winners: The Human Tornado and Delirious
Skippy: Tornado and Delirious just beat three of the top teams in MECCA, and David Caldwell has to be livid right now!
Dick: That doesn't bode well for the CDT, who were expecting a night off at Melee. It looks like it will be anything but when Tornado and Delirious come after the tag titles.
Skippy: We'll be right back with our Triangle Ladies' match!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Bryan Danielson.)
Bill: American Dragon, back at Snowed In, you turned on Nykk and sided with the David Caldwell Project, and Nykk has been out for revenge ever since. This Saturday, you two meet in the main event of Melee in Toronto...
Danielson: Wait a minute, Bill. Don't accuse me of something I didn't do. You see, to have turned against Nykk would imply that I was ever on the same side as him to begin with. If you remember, a few days before that on Go Time, he cost me my spot on the Contender Star and then took that spot himself at Snowed In. Nykk, your days on top are behind you. Now that you're no longer an owner of MECCA, I'm coming to Melee to cement my place amongst the elite of this company. And after you, my next step is the MECCA World Championship, which I will bring home to David Caldwell Sports Entertainment sooner or later. You have my word on that.
(In the arena, "Gangsta Bitch" hits and Shadow makes her way to the ring.)
Skippy: It's time for a non-title Triangle Match. The challenge was issued last week by Ladies' Champion Kelly Schweickart after an argument between Zoe Alexander and this woman right here.
Dick: Shadow still feels that she's the rightful champion since she was never beaten by Kelly, yet Kelly is the one with the belt.
("Take It Off" hits and Kelly Schweickart makes her way to the ring.)
Skippy: Kelly has been living the dream, having won the Ladies' Championship back on Valentine's Day in another Triangle Match.
Dick: She's proud to represent MECCA as Ladies' Champion, and will do everything in her power to not let Zoe Alexander take the title back to the David Caldwell Project this Saturday.
("TKO" hits and Zoe Alexander makes her way to the ring.)
Skippy: Zoe Alexander was simply given a title shot for Melee by owner David Caldwell, though she hasn't really done much lately to earn one, unless you count winning that farce, the Bikini Quest in December.
Dick: She's still a dangerous competitor despite her affiliation with Caldwell, and is a definite contender at any point in time here in MECCA.
(FINISH: Zoe gives Kelly the Zoetrope and covers, but Shadow makes the save. She gives Zoe the Skullbuster and then applies the Dragon Sleeper. Zoe knees her in the face and then stands up, going for an enzugiri. Shadow ducks and takes Zoe down with a hard clothesline. She picks Kelly up and whips her into the ropes. She puts her head down and Kelly vaults backwards over Shadow's body and grabs a waistlock, going for a hardway suplex. Shadow elbows her way free and spins, hitting Kelly with the Interceptor. Before she can cover, Zoe lifts her into a firewoman's carry and drapes her over the top rope. Shadow tumbles to the floor as Zoe covers Kelly and gets the three count.)
Winner: Zoe Alexander
Skippy: What a win for Zoe, as she has just pinned the Ladies' Champion going into their match at Melee!
Dick: How frustrating that is for Shadow, who knocked Kelly out with the Interceptor, and would have earned herself a rematch for the title had Zoe not taken the pin.
Skippy: When we come back, we'll hear from the MECCA World Champion Eddie Crowe. Stay with us!
(Commercial Break)
(In the office, Katie Piehl is standing in front of her desk.)
Katie: Hello, fans of MECCA. As you know, last week I gave Matt Sydal a Toughman Title rematch against Joey Sprinklers at Melee. Unfortunately, earlier this week Matt Sydal was injured while training and will be unable to compete this Saturday. We certainly apologize for this lineup change, but there will still be a Toughman Title match, as the Surgeons have stepped up and expressed interest in getting a title shot. Tune in this Saturday to find out if either Matt Stryker or John Walters will challenge Joey Sprinklers. Thank you, and we will see you in Toronto.
(Elsewhere, Bill Bicknell is standing by with Eddie Crowe.)
Bill: I'm here with the MECCA World Champion, and Eddie, you have possibly the biggest match of your career coming up at the MECCA Challenge III, when you defend your title against Ronin Fox. You and Fox have wrestled twice before for the title, with both matches going to indecisive finishes. Has Fox been your toughest opponent for your belt?
Eddie: First off, I apologize to the fans of MECCA for not being at Melee this Saturday. I will be over in England defending this title and bringing more prestige and exposure to MECCA, but rest assured I will be back next week on Go Time for one last title match before the MECCA Challenge in NYC. As for Ronin Fox, you have been bragging about the fact that we've wrestled twice, and I've never beaten you when this belt was on the line. That may be true, but Fox, you're still not the MECCA Champion. And you never will be. Because I've held this title since April of last year, and now this belt is synonymous with me. I am the MECCA World Champion, and the fans know it, the promoters know it, and deep down, you know it. The MECCA Challenge III is just one more step in me building my legacy, and I'm going to do it by taking you down and shutting you up once and for all.
(In the arena, the ring announcer is preparing to announce the main event when Brother Jim hops the guardrail, Bible in hand and jumps in the ring. He shoves Jared Schrunk out of the way and takes the mic.)
Skippy: We're getting ready for our tag team main event and wait a minute! Brother Jim has finally appeared, and he has the mic!
Brother Jim: Be warned, all ye sinners, for coming soon will be the day...
(The Pyro Twins rush out to the ring. Brother Jim drops the mic and brandishes his Bible threateningly. Dusty knocks it out of his hand and palm strikes him right in the nose. Brother Jim goes down, and Jay and Dusty start kicking him hard in the ribs and face. The pull him up and give him Final Darkness. Jay then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a long nail. As Brother Jim staggers to his knees, Jay charges him and jams the nail right into his forehead. Brother Jim goes down again, and now starts bleeding profusely. Jay stabs at him with the nail as Nykk makes his way to the ring.)
Skippy: Nykk is out here now as Jay and Dusty are just bludgeoning Brother Jim. This is just months of frustration coming out right here.
(The Pyro Twins ask if that's enough, but Nykk tells them to take it a step further. Dusty gets out his Zippo and fixes it so that the flame shoots higher than normal. Jay uses the fire to heat the nail and then jams it into Brother Jim's eye. He screams as Jay digs into him, and finally security come out to drag the Pyro Twins off of Brother Jim and even Katie Piehl and David Caldwell both come out.)
Dick: Finally, security has intervened as the Pyro Twins were just trying to blind Brother Jim there.
Skippy: Even Katie and Caldwell are out here together, as they know that Brother Jim could at any time go after MECCA legally, even though he is not supposed to be over the guardrail.
(Security helps Brother Jim out as Katie and Caldwell both yell at the Pyro Twins. Kevin Stone comes out and asks Nykk what's going on, but Nykk just brushes him off.)
Skippy: I've known Nykk a long time. Something about Brother Jim is eating at him.
("The Chase" hits and the Backseat Boyz make their way to the ring. The Pyro Twins try to get at them on their way out, but security holds them back.)
Skippy: And of course, wherever there's chaos, here come the Backseat Boyz. I guess we're going to the main event now.
Dick: The Backseats have that match coming up with the Pyro Twins at the MECCA Challenge III, but before that this Saturday, they will team with the UK Wrecking Crew to take on the Pyro Twins and the Killer Kanines in eight-man action.
(FINISH: Kashmere goes for a flying headscissors takeover on Nykk, but he puts Kashmere into a powerslam position and feeds him to Stone, who drops Kashmere with a Stone Cutter. Acid hits a Yakuza Kick on Stone, who sails head first into the turnbuckles. Nykk hits Acid with a back suplex and rolls through for the Trinity. He gets the German, but Acid blocks the dragon. Nykk pounds him in the back with forearms, and goes for Howling Moon II. Acid counters into the Shovel Driver, but Stone makes the save as Acid covers. Kashmere dropkicks Stone in the head and he rolls from the ring. The Backseats pick up Nykk and give him the T-Gimmick. Acid covers and gets the three count.)
Winners: The Backseat Boyz
Skippy: The Backseats win a hard fought victory, but their real war has only just begun.
Dick: They're doing it all for a title shot, and I guess they're willing to endure the gauntlet that is the Pyro Twins.
Skippy: We'll see you at Melee, fans, as Nykk takes on Bryan Danielson, and once again next week here on Go Time!
