(The scene explodes in a fury of red fireworks at the small Seigel Center. The close packed yet small crowd are cheering like it was an arena. Lamb of God is set up on the rampway jamming out to 11th Hour as the fans enjoy the music. Suddenly the band stops and we are taken to the commentators of the night.)
Brian: Welcome everyone! I am Brian Johnson!
SaraAnne: I am SaraAnne!
Jason: And I am Jason Barret!
Brian: Welcome everyone to the Fourth Annual End of an Era PPV! And what a ride we have planned for you this evening!
SaraAnne: Thats right Brian, we have quite the PPV planned, so lets get to it!
Jason: Our first match pits Green Gus against Mike Knox.
(The crowd cheers as Green Gus makes his way to the ring.)
Brian: Here comes Mike Knox��..
(As Mike Knox moves toward the ring he is met with mostly boos and jeers from the crowd at the Siegel Center.)
Jason: Both of these men have kept a low profile in the days leading up to this match. It�ll be interesting to see what they have up their sleeves.
(As Gus is giving the thumbs up to a little boy in the crowd Knox attacks him and Gus falls to the canvass. Knox begins punching Gus and keeps him on the mat.)
Jason: Did you see that? Mike Knox attacked Gus as he was talking one of his supporters.
Brian: I don�t think so. It looked like Gus was berating the poor kid and Mike Knox came to his defense.
Sara: C�mon Brian. You need to visit the eye doctor if you believe that.
(Knox continues to pound on his foe. As Mike whips Green Gus into the ropes Gus revereses the move and bounces Knox off the ropes and hits a big clothesline. Knox goes down hard.)
Sara: Gus needs to mount some offensive here.
Jason: He has the momentum.
(Green Gus exacts some revenge on Knox by putting together a series of offensive moves that culminate in an elbow drop to Knox�s chest. As the tide turns Gus celebrates by raising his fist in the air as the crowd cheers loudly.)
Jason: This could be it folks.
Sara: We might see the Twig and Berries right here.
(At that moment Knox rises to his feet and catches a stunned Green Gus and rolls him into a Small Package.)
Jason: Knox is using the ropes for leverage. Referee look�..
One��..two��three�..
Brian: Mike Knox with an impressive win.
Jason: An impressive win? He used the ropes for leverage. He cheated.
Brian: It�s only illegal if you get caught. Congrats to Mike Knox.
(Pete Greenhouse is shown backstage, walking with a cup of coffee in his hand before a man in all black approaches him. The average sized man wears a ski mask, and a black coat over the black clothing he wears beneath. His hat is slightly tilted creating a shadow over his eyes. His voice is machine generated and startles Pete, nearly causing him to spill his hot drink all over himself.)
Man Dressed in Black: My sources tell me that Joseph W. Rival the third is to meet someone in Locker Room D77. . . Tell him it's very important.
Pete: R� Right away sir. Could I get your name?
Man Dressed in Black: What's in a name? After all, you should know me by now as the ever so grateful one. . . The one who knows all and sees all. . . I am only a messenger my friend. A messenger who feels an unknown presence calling to Joey from room D77. I am here to inform you because I, am the Informer.
Pete: Y-Yes sir.
Man Dressed in Black: Go now. There is little time to be wasted.
(The scene fades to black.)
Jason: What the hell was that all about? Who or what is in room D77???
(The New England TRON materializes to a scene lit by candles backstage with the exception of a large one that remains unlit in the center. Standing behind an alter with the cloth of the Brotherhood and its symbol draped over its top, is Deadman... The light from the tallow of wick rebound from the creases in his face. As the camera leans backward, Joey is shown knelt before the champion as he begins to speak.)
Deadman: You are ready, my Brother. You are ready to take the honor of assuming a role of an ordained member of the clergy of the Brotherhood with a position that mediates you an official Deacon. Do you feel you are prepared to undertake such a task?
Joey: Yes�. Father Deadman.
Deadman: Very well my Brother. We will commence with the final test.
Joey: Yes�. Father Deadman.
Deadman: You will respond to my words as I address them to you. Are you sure you are ready?
Joey: Yes�. Father Deadman.
Deadman: Excellent. We shall begin.
(Deadman lights the last candle.)
Deadman: There is no anger�
Joey: There is peace.
Deadman: There is no hate�
Joey: There is fellowship.
Deadman: There is no death�
Joey: There is the force. *Gulp* I mean-
(Deadman acquires a look of uncertainty across his face, and tightens his voice, repeating himself.)
Deadman: I �said- there is no death�
(He gives him a stern look.)
Joey: There are GREEN BEANS!!!
Deadman: Brother Joseph� This is not the time for that. Perhaps you are not yet ready for this?
Joey: Sorry� Go on.
Deadman: I �SAID-�
(Deadman sighs.)
Deadman: There is no death�
Joey: �There is the Brotherhood.
(Deadman bows his head, pressing his palms together, and closing his eyes.)
Deadman: In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Venia mihi frater. Venia mihi cupidus cogo frater adjungo ecclesia..........Amen.
(He looks up again.)
Deadman: Congratulations my Brother. You have officially earned your Deaconship within the fellowship of the Brotherhood.
Joey: WHOOHOO!!! Now can we go for some beans?
(Deadman shakes his head.)
Deadman: Later my brother� But you first have a match to grace with your presence. You mustn't lose focus my Brother�
Joey: Oh yeah�. I knew that.
Deadman: May the Brotherhood be with you.
(The scene fades to black.)
Jason: Will Joey's Deaconship do him any good in his match against Chris Evans??? We'll find out�. NEXT! Darling: Weighing in at 225 pounds, at a height of 6�1", accompanied to the ring by Katrina, he is�CHRIS "MR F**K AUTHORITY" EVANS!
(Chris Evans walks out to the ring with Katrina as Pennywise�s F**k Authority plays, Chris has a shirt that says "Joey Rival is Elmos bitch!" he slides in and waits for the match to begin.)
Darling: His opponent, weighing in at 217 pounds, at a height of 6�1", accompanied to the ring by Tom, he is�JOEY RIVAL!
(Joey walks out to the ring with Tom as In The End plays, tagging a few hands here and there.)
(Joey gets in the ring and the bell sounds.) Jason: Joey locks up with Chris, Chris kicks him in the midsection to break up the grapple�
Brian: Chris kicks him in the stomach for a setup for The Razors Edge�
Jason: He lifts him up�
Brian: And drops him.
Jason: Joey is out this early in the match�
Brian: Chris goes for a pin�
Jason: 1�2�
Brian: KICKOUT! I�m surprised he had the strength to do that.
Jason: Joey begins to get on his feet and delivers a flying clothesline to Chris�
Brian: Chris is on the ground, Rival begins to stand him up�
Jason: He puts him up for a Rival Rack�
Brian: He gets it and goes for a pin�
Jason: 1�2�
Brian: KICKOUT!
Jason: Evans wants that title really bad�
Brian: Remember�either way they still have to worry about another opponent.
Jason: Yeah�
Brian: Anyways�Evans has Joey staggering�
Jason: He grabs him by the neck�
Brian: Defiance!
Jason: He goes for the pin�
Brian: 1�2�3!
Jason: Chris Evans wins�he is one step closer to The International Title.
SaraAnne: And Rival seems to be storming to the back after his loss disoriented, holding his neck in pain.
(Joey is walking backstage after a hard fought match against Chris Evans.)
Jason: Well there's Joey Rival on his way backstage to the locker room�
(Suddenly Pete Greenhouse walks up to Joey, without a microphone.)
Sara: Wait a minute, there's Greenhouse� But he doesn't have a microphone in his hand�. He looks anxious.
(Pete approaches Joey, and looks somewhat frantic.)
Pete: Joey! Joey!
(Joey shrugs him off, and continues walking, obviously not pleased with his performance.)
Pete: Joey, I'm not here to get an interview� Somebody has asked you to go to Locker Room D77� They said it was very important.
Joey: Who was it?
Pete: I� Don't really know, he never really said, but he was dressed in all black and said it was important, and that someone was there to meet you in D77!
Joey: *sighs* Alright� Thanks.
Pete: Yeah� No problem.
(The scene fades to black.)
Brian: What's in Locker Room D77???
SaraAnne: I dunno, but VanDamme and Jennings are already getting it on in the ring!
[Jennings charges right at Ny, but Ny puts up his foot and Jennings charges right into it face first. Ny pulls him up off the mat and sends him into the ropes. Ny catches him in a tilt a whirl into a backbreaker. He pulls Jennings up off of the mat, and into a military press. Ny just walks around the ring holding him up high in the air. Finally he just tosses Jennings out of the ring all the way to the floor. Jennings does a belly flop on the hard concrete floor. ]
Jason: VanDamme looking good in this opening match here.
Brian: Yeah he just threw Jennings like a pear.
[Ny steps up over the top tope and drops outside the ring. He pulls Jennings up off the floor, and into a powerbomb position. Ny looks around to the crowd before flipping Jennings up high in the air and slamming him down hard to the mat with a thunderous powerbomb. Ny just stands high above Jennings staring down at the carnage he just caused. After a few seconds the referee rolls out fo the ring trying to get Ny back into the ring. He just ignores the ref. ]
Jason: Ny isn't listening to the ref.
Sara: Yeah, but he's doing fine!
[Ny picks Jennings back off the floor and picks him up in another military press. He throws Jennings over the top rope back into the ring. Ny hops up on the apron and steps over the top rope into the ring. Jennings is still trying to get up to his feet but is bent over in the middle of the ring. Ny bounces off of the ropes and nails Powers with a vicious scissor kick! ]
Sara: Damn this Ny VanDamme is good.
Brian: Yeah he's really kicking Jennings' ass.
[Ny signals to the crowd for the end of the match. He irish whips Jennings into the ropes going for a big boot to the face, but he ducks under it and bounces off the ropes. Jennings comes off the ropes and nails a dropkick to Ny's knee. Jennings gets back up in a hurry and bounces off the ropes, and once again he nails Ny with another dropkick to the knee. Jennings bounces off the ropes again and Ny ducks down. Jennings does a sunset flip, but instead of Ny falling backwards he just stands straight up in the air.]
Jason: That was a smart move by Ny!
Brian: Yeah, Jennings isn't baring to well.
[Ny reaches down with one hand and grabs Jennings by the throat. Ny pulls him off the mat and raises him up into the air. Ny sets him up, and hits Damme-Nation, and makes the cover. 1........2.............3! Bell rings.]
Jack: Your winner, Ny VanDamme!!!
SaraAnne: And Ny VanDamme is moving on to the International Title Championship bout!
(The scene opens, and it shows Joey walking towards Locker Room D77� The door to the room is open.)
Brian: *whispering* There it is� Room D77�.
(Joey approaches the room, in a slapdash fashion, and opens the door. The lights in the room are turned off as Joey enters. He scales his hand across the wall to find the switch, but suddenly the door closes behind him.)
Jason: What the hell???
(The camera quivers outside the door as Joey is heard letting out a scream from within. Illegible bangs and crashes are heard from the inside.)
Sara: I think Joey may have walked into a trap!
Jason: What's going on in there?!
(After a drawn out number of crashes are made audible from the inside of the room, the door opens and the lights turn on. The camera receives a full body shot of Joey Rival laid out on the hard floor in a pool of his own blood, twitching with his mouth open and his eyes half closed.)
Jason: Oh my God� Joey Rival has been decimated!
Brian: But by whom??
(Pete runs to the scene, looking over his shoulders, and then back at the bloodied and brutalized Joey. Lockers are indented, and the door is significantly beveled with Joey's blood smeared across the face of it.)
Pete: WE NEED SOME HELP!! GET SOME HELP!!!
(Paramedics rush to the scene and put Joey on a stretcher with his neck in a brace, and the blood dripping down his torn clothing.)
Jason: This doesn't look good. This doesn't look good at all�.
(The scene fades to black.) (The camera fades back to the ring where Thanatos, Shawn Temp, and Soldier stand awaiting the oncoming battle, with all the men in the ring staring each other down. Thanatos has the overwhelming support of the crowd, and he is standing there in his corner of the ring making no movements whatsoever.)
SaraAnne: It looks like a stalemate right now. No one wants to make the first move.
Brian: Well someone is going to have to budge!
Jason: And that person is Shawn Temp, the former Heavyweight Champ, who charges and tackles the bigger Soldier. Soldier does not go down easy, and manages to wrangle free of Temp's tackle maneuver by sheer force!
SaraAnne: Soldier picks up Temp and immediately delivers a spike piledriver! Wow, Soldier is kickin out the big moves early on in this competition!
Brian: Soldier suddenly turns his attention towards Thanny. Thanatos is just standing in his corner with a big smirk on his face, he is obviously enjoying this competition as much as the fans are. He steps forward and...extends a hand? As Thanatos ever done that before?
Jason: I don't think so! But then again, NEW supplies a first for everything! Maybe Thanny weants to make an alliance once again with the mighty Soldier?
SaraAnne: Soldier stares down Thanatos debating whether or not to accept the proposal. Soldier is looking around at the crowd who are issuing a mixture of boos and cheers at the moment.
Brian: Both men are standing there staring each other down and....what the hell?
(All of a sudden the lights go dead. ABout 30 seconds later the lights come back on and both Temp and Soldier are laid out. Thanny is the only one standing up. Thanatos looks kind of confused though.)
Jason: Uh....what just happened?
SaraAnne: I have no clue, but for some reason I don't think Thanatos had anything to dow ith it. He is just standing there, in the middle of the ring. It doesn't even look like he swung at anyone. Who the hell could have done this?
(Darling climbs into the ring with a mic in hand.)
Jack Darling: Because of the....events that have unfolfed during the course of this match, it has been determined that this match has been deemed a draw. Brian: Okay....interesting return match for Thanatos...or lack thereof?
Jason: Yeah no kiddin!
SaraAnne: Anyway folks, I think we will be finding out more about this in the future! Until then, lets move onto our next match.
[The bell rings, and Ny and Evans look around the arena. Both men, as if on cue, get the same idea, and lock up in the ring. Ny gets the upper hand, pushing Evans back into the corner. The ref calls for Ny to release Evans, but he gets a cheap chop into Evans's chest, causing him to double over in pain. Ny pulls him up, and chops him again. The fans react with a Wooooo! He grabs Evans' wrist, and whips him across the ring. Chris puts the breaks on in the middle of the ring, and reverses it, sending Ny into the corner back first. He follows in with a clothesline. Evans unleashes a flurry of rights and lefts to the face of Ny. Ny finally blocks one, and grabs Evans' head, and throws him into the corner instead. He then unleashes his rights and lefts, and finally turns around, and nails Chris in the face with a reverse elbow. Ny then pulls him out of the corner by his hair, and to the center of the ring. He then locks in a side head lock, and drops to one knee, jarring Evans' neck.]
Jason: Ny gets off to the early advantage, using his superior strength.
Sara: It wouldn't suprise me if VanDamme didn't just beat Evans down and get the quick win.
[Evans gets to his feet, and Ny pushes him off, and into the ropes. Evans comes back, and Ny stands tall, but he hits him with a shoulder block, sending him to the canvas. Evans runs at the ropes on the other side, and Ny rolls over, allowing Evans to leap over him and into the ropes yet again. As he is coming back, Ny hops up, catches Evans, and sends him over with a hip toss. Both men are up quickly, but Ny hits Evans with a short arm lariat, sending him to the canvas. He goes for the first cover, One, Two, ThNO! Evans kicks out.]
Brian: Ny tried to get the quick win right there.
Jason: Very smart. Every pin by this kid will wear Evans down a little more.
[Ny pulls Evans up by his chin, and pushes him into the ropes. He grabs Chris' wrist, and goes to whip him to the other side of the ring, but he reverses it, and sends Ny into the ropes. Evans goes for a standing drop kick, but Ny grabs the ropes, and Evans falls to the mat. Ny runs over, grabs Evans' legs, and pulls them up. He then turns himself to where his back is facing a turnbuckle, and he falls backwards, pulling Evans up with him, and catapulting him into the turnbuckle. Evans staggers back, and Ny grabs him by the shoulders, bringing him down hard to the mat. He then goes for the cover. One, Two, Thr.. No! Evans kicks out as the refs hand was coming down for a 3.]
Sara: That's two near falls for VanDamme so far!
Brian: Yeah, but near falls don't count for a thing! [Ny pulls Evans to his feet, and grabs his wrist. He goes to whip him, but Evans puts the brakes on, and pulls Ny in. He quickly locks him arms under his shoulders, and lifts him up, and brings him back down for a Belly to Belly Suplex. Evans is up quickly, and begins stomping at the gut of Ny. He reaches down, and pulls Ny to his feet. Evans quickly pushes Ny back to the corner hard, and follows in with a clothesline. Evans pulls him up, and goes to whip him to the other side, but Ny reverses it, and sends Evans into the corner chest first. Chris staggers back, and Ny hits him with a german suplex. Ny goes for a cover, One, Two, Th..No! Evans gets a shoulder up.]
Jason: VanDamme is really taking it to Evans.
Brian: He's gonna have to do more than that to put down Chris Evans.
Sara: Don't worry. Looking at this kid, I can see he isn't done by a longshot.
[Ny goes for another quick cover, One, Two, Evans kicks out this time. Ny pulls him to his feet, and pushes him into the ropes. He grabs Evans' wrist, and goes to whip him to the other side, but Chris puts the brakes on, and sends Ny flying. He then hits Ny with a dropkick, and Ny falls to the mat. Evans runs to the corner and attempts a senton bomb. He hits it! Chris goes for the cover, One, Two, Th..No! Ny gets a shoulder up.]
Brian: Chris Evans pulls out a nice move to gain control of the match.
[Evans gets up, and pulls Ny to his feet. He whips him into the ropes, but Ny holds onto the ropes. Evans goes for a clothesline, but Ny drops down, pulling on the top rope, and he sends Evans flying over the ropes, and to the floor below. Ny pulls himself up with the ropes, and sees Evans getting slowly to his feet. He runs at the ropes on the other side, and runs back toward him, but Chris sidesteps Ny as he baseball slides out to the floor. Evans lays a right hand to the side of Ny's face, and another, and then grabs him by his head. He slams Ny's head into the ring, and then pulls him towards the steel steps. Evans goes to slam his head into the steps, but Ny gets his hand on the steps, and stops him. Ny grabs Evans' head, and slams his head into the steps. As the ref counts, Ny rolls into the ring to break the count and then rolls right back out.]
Jason: A good idea for VanDamme to break up the 10 count.
Sara: This kid's all over Evans!!
[Ny grabs Evans by his hair, and sets him up for a suplex on the outside, but Chris punches him in the gut, and reverses it, sending Ny over with a suplex. Evans climbs up onto the ring apron, and steps into the ring to break the count up. He steps back out through the ropes, and as Ny is getting to his feet, Evans turns around, and hops onto the bottom rope, and leaps off for a beauitful moonsault, landing square on the head of Ny. Both men are down, but Evans begins to get up. He pulls Ny to his feet, and rolls him into the ring. Ny gets to his feet quickly, and as Evans is rolling into the ring, Ny drops a leg across the back of Evans' neck, driving his face into the mat. Ny pulls Evans up, and sets him up for the dragon sleeper. Ny lifts him up, but Evans wiggles out of it, and pushes him into the ropes. He grabs Ny's head, and gives him a DDT. Evans reaches across Ny and hooks a leg for a pin. One, Two, Thr......No! Ny just gets a shoulder up.]
Sara: Evans has got VanDamme down, but can he finish him off?
Brian: He'll get em!
Jason: He better, before Uneek hits another big move and ends it.
[Evans gets to his feet slowly, and pulls Ny up. He whips Ny into the close corner, and he hits hard back first. Evans goes to him, and kicks Ny in the gut. Evans then sets Ny up for a savate kick, but he misses, and Ny grabs him and hits a T-bone suplex. Evans gets up slowly, staggering towards Ny, who grabs him and hits Damme-Nation! Evans is down and out! Ny makes the cover. 1..............2.................3!!
Jack: Your winner of the match, and new N.E.W. International Champion, Ny VanDamme!!
SaraAnne: What a sweet win for Ny VanDamme! This is his first major victory here, and perhaps not his last! Only time will tell...
Brian: That was an enlightening speech Sara...
Jason: Yeah hehe...
SaraAnne: I guess I actually DO my job instead of acting like a bunch of slackers!
(Brian and Jason look at each other and simply shrug.)
SaraAnne: Next up, HIGH INCIDENT FOR THE XTREME TITLE!!!!!
Barret: Well this match is looking to be amazing.
Johnson: Even I know this is gonna be good. I mean, look in the ring. Over 30 tables have been set up to "break" the fall of whichever one of these jackasses falls off that scaffold.
Anne: This is just too... eeeew. There's going to be lots of blood, and I'm not up for it.
Barret: You gotta understand, fans, a High Incident match is different than a normal scaffold match...
Johnson: ...Not that a scaffold match is all that normal...
Barret: ... in that the scaffold area above the ring is held up by ropes running from the ceiling of the arena, unlike the regular scaffold which is pretty stable. That scaffold will shake like an earthquake. And beyond that, like Brian mentioned a moment ago, the ring is filled with tables. When you come off that scaffold, you're going through a lot of those tables.
Anne: Inhuman.
Barret: Wait... I'm getting news right now... Harley and Carl Knox are already beating the crap out of each other in the gorilla area. Cameraman is getting back there right now..
*The scene switches to the entrance way where Knox and Harley have emerged, and already beating the everloving snot outta each other with punches*
Barret: Harley and Knox are exchanging punches, and the bell has sounded, starting this match!
Johnson: The bloodlust is already making them tear into each other! Carl has Harley by the arm, and whips him into a support at the entrance, but Harley reverses, and Carl goes right into it head first. He slumps to the ground as Harley plays to the crowd.
Anne: This isn't a wrestling match! This is just hardcore for hardcore's sake! This is crap! I don't even feel like calling this match.
Johnson: Good. You don't have to.
Barret: Harley making his way towards the ring, but Carl back up, and has picked up a chair, and runs up behind Harley, and nails him in the back of the head! Harley goes down, and Knox starts wailing away on him! He keeps nailing Harley with the chair, and tosses it aside. He grabs Harley, and starts dragging him to the ring!
Johnson: You know, I can't tell you which of this I like more, Harley getting the crap kicked out of him, or the fact this means he won't be here much for a while.
Barret: Carl is pulling him up to the scaffolding, and goes down to hoist him up, but Harley'a playin' possum! He starts nailing Carl with punches to the gut and head. He sets him up for a suplex... Front suplex on the gaurdrail! Knox's ribs have go to be hurting him now! Harley gets a chair from a fan at ringside, and nails Knox in the back with the chair! Knox falls forward, and lays out on the concrete, in obvious pain!
Johnson: Harley's got the chair, and is pushing it right against Carl's throat! C'mon ref! that's obviouis cheating! Disqualify the bastard!
Barret: There's no disqualifications in this match! You know that!
Johnson: A man can wish, can't he?
Barret: The ref is telling Harley to lay off, and Harley tosses the chair away, and pulls Carl up, and a whip in to the gaurdrail! Knox hits with a loud smack, and he is clutching those ribs now. They've obviously got to be bruised or even broken. Harley is on fire tonight!
Johnson: He has no compassion for his fellow wrestler. He should not be a man who gives orders in this federation if he doesn't care about his wrestlers!
Barret: Harley moving over to Carl. He starts choking him against the gaurdrail! He lets off, and whips Knox into the scaffolding! The fans are getting up, they know what's gonna happen!
Johnson: More bludgeoning of a top N.E.W. star?
Barret: Harley goes over to the scaffolding, and begins to make his ascent! Wait! Carl grabs Harley's foot, and pulls him back down, and rams Harley's head into the scaffolding! Knox now, starts climbing up the scaffolding! He's up about a few feet, and he starts choking Harley with his boot! He's really putting it on thick!
Johnson: Kick his ass Carl! Show him why the management should stay in the office, and not out here where only wrestlers should be stars!
Barret: Remember, Brian, Harley was a wrestler before he became staff.
Johnson: He gave up the ring to be pencil pusher.
Barret: Harley reaching up, trying to get himself up higher, get out of this choke, but Carl pulls his foot off, and starts climbing up higher. He's reaching the top... and is on the scaffold!!! He's yelling down at Harley!
Johnson: What's he saying?
Barret: I can't repeat those things. My mom would kill me.
Johnson: Pussy.
Barret: That was one of the words... and AM NOT!!!
Johnson: Are too!
Barret: Well, either way, Carl's taunting has woken Harley up, because he's got a fire in his eyes, and is climbing up that scaffold, and gets to the top, and Carl meets him with kicks to the head, but Harley blocks, and punches Carl in the shin. Carl limps a bit away, giving Harley enough time to get up on the scaffold, and get to his feet. He runs at Carl, and double axehandle shot to the back of the head. Carl goes down, and Harley is now getting the upper hand.
Johnson: C'mon Carl! Get your ass up!
Barret: Harley goes to pick Knox up, but Carl with a low blow! A shot between the legs floors Harley, and Carl is back up. Carl is holding onto one of the support ropes as he lays in kick after kick into Harley's lower back. He's looking about, looks like he's ready to get rid of Harley the hard way! He starts shoving into Harley's ribs with his foot. Harley is holding on for dear life. He rolls onto his back.. but his head and shoulders are hanging off the scaffold now... the only thing keeping him up there are those hands holding onto the support ropes.
Johnson: FALL, DAMNIT!!! FALL!!!
Barret: Carl is calling for the en... OOOH!!! Harley with a shot through Carl's uprights! Carl clutching at his groin, and Harley slowly gets back to his feet, and Knox staggers about.. Harley grabs Carl by the head and tights... he tosses... CARL IS AIRBORN!!! OH MY GOD!!! HE JUST WENT THROUGH AT LEAST 8 OR 9 TABLES AND IS OUT ON THE MAT!!! OH MY GOD!!!
Johnson: NO!!! NO!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!! CARL SHOULDA WON!!!! HARLEY SHOULD HAVE LOSED!!!!!
Barret: Harley is your winner! That was one hell of a battle.
("Breadfan" by Metallica plays and Thanatos walks out to an explosion of sound as the fans cheer and he walks down to the ring, slapping hands as he goes along. He makes it to the stairs and grabs a mic on the way up before going through the ropes and stands in the middle of the ring. He motions for the crowd to quiet and raises the mic to his mouth.)
Thanatos: Thank you, Richmond. I come out here tonight to let you good people know that I will do my best in my match coming up soon and I hope to be in for a title shot against the Xtreme Champ down the line. Will I pull out all of the stops? You bet your ass I will. This match will be a no holds barred and no dq for anything that I have the capability to do and I plan on using everything to my advantage this night since tonight everyone will see who the second Horseman will be. But before I unveil who it is, I'd like to address my two opponents.
(Lowers the mic for a second while the crowd cheers and raises it again.)
Thanatos: Shawn Temp, the man who has not been booked for quite some time wants to advance to have a shot at the title that I want for the time being...and I'm here to tell you that you have a hell of a leap to make before you can step up against me. Since this is a Triple Threat match, you don't have to beat me...all you have to do is pin Soldier or he pins you and I'm shit out of luck. I never liked you much, and tonight you will feel the full fury of the man who has stood in the middle of a ring that had concussion grenades tied to the ropes and stood up after being knocked on my ass. My opponent was still out as I got to my unsure feet to win the match. I've bled as much as I could against countless other opponents as they cut and busted me open more times than I can remember. This belt was made for people like me and you will not take this away from me. Soldier stands just as much of a chance of beating me as Shawn Temp does. I don't remember too much about Soldier, but I think he might pose a bit more of a challenge as this match rages on. I'll be bringing a bunch of goodies to the ring so we aren't short on things to make the ring bloody with. When I'm on the job, I make sure that we don't run out of fun things to use. Hell, I'm sure that my twin bats will make their grand entrance into this match once more as I will pound the living hell out of Soldier and Temp to get my chance at that title. I was made for this title and you cannot stop me Soldier. Yeah, I know you'll put up a good fight, but you don't stand a chance of stopping me long enough to win this thing by pinning me. As I have said, it will take either you or Temp to pin the other before this thing will be done. As long as I am conscious, I will break up any pin attempt there is, so you'd better knock me out and far away from you guys when you go for the pin. It is my mission to destroy both of you tonight, and I will not let the good people of Richmond, Virginia down as they cheer me on to victory. They've been let down enough by the quality of talent here in NEW like Joey Rival. I don't even have to mention one other name since you all know who it is I'm talking about. You two better be ready for the coming Apocalypse, as I plan on destroying both of you.
(Crowd cheers as Thanatos lowers the mic again, looking around at the crowd for a minute before raising it one more time.)
Thanatos: And now, I shall reveal who I have brought into the flock as a Horseman for this incarnation. He is the one...the only...Night Stalker!!!
(As the camera pans to the entrance way, "Five Finger Crawl" by Danzig begins to blast over the house speakers. Slowly, a figure makes its way out from the back, and steps into the spotlight. The hair is a little shorter, the clothes a little different, but the way he stands and the smirk on his face is unquestionable. The fans, not quite sure weither to boo or cheer, stand in awe as Night Stalker makes his way down to the ring. As he gets to the ring steps, Stalker locks eyes with Thanatos standing in the ring. Slowly, he ascends the steps and enters the ring, making sure to get right into the face of Thanatos. After a tense few seconds of staring, Thanatos hands Night Stalker the mic.)
Night Stalker: Far too long a time has past, far too many men have come and gone, and far too many fans robbed of a single presence. Just two times I have returned to N.E.W. And differences between myself and management have caused me to leave both times. However, when I got a phone call, from one of the biggest legends in this business, asking me if I want to go one more time, fight under one of the greatest marquees to ever see daylight, I just could not refuse. So you see, now the year is two thousand and four, and things are started anew, but one thing still remains. To everyone in the back, Night Stalker has returned to his roots, you can choose to take this lightly, or you can heed this warning. And now, you have one of the most lethal combonations of wrestlers ever assembled knocking at your door. Night Stalker was bad, but joined together with Thanatos....that is just pure evil.
Thanatos: Well said NS. And you people better look out next week as the third Horsemen will come and you will all be shocked. So let it be written, so let it be done. None shall stand in our way!!!
("Four Horsemen" by Metallica plays and they leave the ring to the crowd cheering and the picture cuts to the announcers table.)
Jack Darling: From Birmingham, AL, weighing in at 260 pounds�at a height of 6'5"�He is, Ronnie Mcneil!
("Many Men" by 50 Cent begins to play as the stage lights up with pyro. Ronnie steps out from the curtain as his video montage begins to play.) Many men, wish death upon me Blood in my eye dawg and I can't see I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be And niggaz trying to take my life away I put a hole in nigga for fucking with me My back on the wall, now you gon' see Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me Cause I'll come and take your life away Many men, many, many, many, many men Wish death 'pon me Lord I don't cry no more Don't look to the sky no more Have mercy on me Have mercy on my soul Somewhere my heart turned cold Have mercy on many men Many, many, many, many men Wish death upon me......
(Ronnie walks slowly to the ring, calmly steps into the ring, takes off his coat and shades, and stands in the corner.)
Jack Darling: In this North Eastern Championship matchup, from Las Vegas, NV,weighing in at 285 pounds, at a height of 6'7" he is�STRIP!
(Strip struts to the ring as Night On Bald Mountain hits.)
(The bell rings.)
Jason: Ronnie locks up with Strip, they are beginning this with a classic test of strength.
Brian: Ronnie is getting the upper hand�
Jason: Strip pushes forward knocking Ronnie onto the ground�
Brian: Strip immediately jumps onto the ground and puts Ronnie in a Crossface of sorts. Ronnie begins to stand while in this move�
Jason: Ronnie continues to stand up until noticing that he has Strip in the perfect setup for The Flawless. Brian: Ronnie has Strip down and apparently out�
Jason: He goes for a pin�
Brian: 1�2�kickout�that was almost a win for Ronnie.
Jason: Ronnie stands him up and delivers The Superiority to Strip�
Brian: He goes for the pin�1�2�3!!!! Ronnie is your winner and new North Eastern Champion!!
SaraAnne: A relatively short match, but it was lively! And now we have a new North Eastern champ to show for it!
Jason: And finally folks....our main event! Deadman, the defending champ, takes on the challenger, Brett Logan!
(The camera slowly zooms in on the big screen as the crowd begins to hush. The lights dim and the video reel begins. First, a flash of Tragedy comes on the screen. We cut immediately into shots of Tragedy in many of his matches in the past months, including his victory over Deadman last week. Then we see a shot of Deadman on screen, followed by many shots of him wrestling over the past months, including the same match. Finally we see a shot of both men on camera at the same time. It fades out and we go into a black and white segment.)
Sara: Oh no, he can't be serious...
Jason: He's going for it. this could be the match!
[Tragedy raises his arms to the sky, and leaps off with a Star-Struck Frog Splash, and hits it! Tragedy goes for the cover. 1.......2.........3! The bell rings.]
Jack: Your winner of the match, Tragedy!!!!
(the scene fades out from that and immediately to a shot of Tragedy alone)
Tragedy: They said I couldn't do it. They said I couldn't beat him...
(the scene switches back to the referee holding his hand up. We switch back to Tragedy)
Tragedy: They said that I had met my match... that I stood no chance at all...
(the scene switches and shows Tragedy walking up the rampway backwards and pointing at Deadman. It switches back to him.)
Tragedy: I sure proved them wrong.... but that's not enough!!
(the scene switches and shows Deadman on his feet after being counted for the 3 count. Then it shows him all alone. He speaks)
Deadman: I wasn't expecting what happened... but that doesn't mean I quit. No man is perfect... and Tragedy is a good sign of that. The Heavyweight title is still around --my-- waist.
(the scene switches back to a scene of the two men throwing fists at each other. Neither man wanting to quit. They refuse to give up to one another.)
Voice: Two men will go into one ring. Only one man will walk out on his own two feet. The other will get up however he must.. but after the lights are off. After the big camera has gone away. Only one man will get the glory of walking out of Richmond, Virginia... a Hero! Which man will be that man. Will it be the current Heavyweight Champion... and owner of the Honorable Wrestling Association... Deadman... or will it be the challenger and the man who defeated the champ just last week... Tragedy. Only time will tell.. and only watching this match.. will you find out!!
(the scene erupts with explosions and immediately shows the inside of the arena as the fans are going nuts. They are ready for the main event. The lights come back on. Huge sparks fly everywhere as a man stands in the middle of the ring. He is the announcer for tonights Main Event. He speaks.)
Jack Darling: Laides and Gentleman.. thank you for attending tonight's show. This final match.. is tonight's... MAIN EVENT!!!
(the fans go nuts)
Jack Darling: Introducing first... he is tonight's challenger. Standing 6 foot 6 and weighing in at 265 pounds.. he is all that is considered wrong with the world. He is who you pull against and he is who you hope can't make it... but he is who you can't help but stay interested in. He is..... TRAGEDY!!!!!
(the fans start to go nuts at the announcement as the lights dim again. Purple spotlights and fireworks begin to erupt everywhere. "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack hits the airs as a mixed reaction is given. Fireworks go off everywhere as Tragedy comes running out yelling and screaming. Is he really just this crazy. He runs to the ring and slides in. He grabs a mic and begins to speak.)
Tragedy: Deadman!!! Im tired of waiting... GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE NOW!!!
Jack Darling: And...the Heavyweight Champion of New England Wrestling...weighing in at 333lbs, at a height of 7'3"....hailing from Toronto, Ontario Canada....he is.....DEADMANNNN!
("Death Blooms" begins to play as a long path of smoke relieved by a hint of midnight blue prolongs down the ramp. Deadman emerges from behind the curtain as he slowly walks towards the ring. Ignoring the boos, he stops in front of the squared circle, and looks up at the house lights, before walking up the ring steps and over the top rope. Deadman positions himself in the center of the ring and instantaneously shoots his arms up from his sides as a bang causes the lights to turn on.)
Brian Johnson: It appears Joey Rival is not with his mentor, I hope he wasn't hurt too bad.
SaraAnne: It must be something bad if Rival can't be out to support Deadman.
Jason Barret: I think we are about ready to begin guys!!
(Deadman and Tragedy stand face to face. They eye each other, face to face. They are ready to burst. Both men start to talk shit to one another, mostly Tragedy. Deadman pokes Tragedy in the chest, and this causes Tragedy to rear back and nail Deadman in the face. The bell rings)
Brian Johnson: Tragedy starts things off with a HUGE fist!!
SaraAnne: Tragedy won't stop. He's nailing Deadman left and right with everything he has. He's going to get tired quick!!
Jason Barret: They back up towards the ropes... Tragedy has Deadman against the ropes, but Deadman fights back and sends Tragedy across the ring. Deadman makes his way over there and tries to lift Deadman up, but Tragedy gives him a low blow. Deadman goes straight to the ground.
Brian Johnson: The ref didn't seem to see that. Tragedy is up, and he grabs Deadman by the hair. He sends Deadman into the ropes, and comes back with a flying clothesline. Deadman goes down.
SaraAnne: Tragedy immediately on Deadman, with an armbar lock. Deadman said he was going to try and make Tragedy pass out, but it seems that Tragedy beat him to the punch with the submissions.
Jason Barret: Deadman can't get lose, but he isn't tapping from just a simple armbar. Finally Tragedy lets go of the move and stands up. He starts to kick Deadman while he's on his back.
Brian Johnson: Tragedy sees the oppurtunity and climbs the turnbuckle. He leaps off with an elbow drop, but Deadman moves out of the way. Tragedy begins to grab himself in pain as Deadman makes his way to his feet.
SaraAnne: Deadman is up as Tragedy makes it to one knee. Tragedy sees Deadman up in his face, and goes to swing, but Deadman blocks. He kicks Tragedy in the stomach sending him backwards.
Jason Barret: Deadman charges at Tragedy and sends him flying over the ropes, but Tragedy holds on to him and brings him down to the floor. They are both laying down now.
Brian Johnson: That was awesome. Both men fell down to the ground very hard.
SaraAnne: Deadman is the one up first, and he grabs Tragedy by his long hair. Tragedy screams in pain as Deadman sends him flying towards the barricade holding back fans. Tragedy hits it and goes flying over into the crowd.
Jason Barret: This ring isn't big enough for the two of them!!
Brian Johnson: Deadman goes over the railing, following Tragedy. Tragedy stands up and nails Deadman in the stomach. He doesn't flinch much, so Tragedy hits him again. And again. Deadman laughs and nails Tragedy across the face.
SaraAnne: Tragedy goes flying back onto a bunch of fans. The fans are all patting him. I hope he's ok.
Jason Barret: Finally the ref is among them and is trying to get them back to the ring. Deadman starts heading back, so Tragedy goes running and jumps on Deadman's back. HOLY SHIT!!
(This causes Deadman to spin and fall over the railing with Tragedy on his back, and then onto the floor with Tragedy still caught undeneath.)
Brian Johnson: Tragedy is screaming in pain!! Deadman seems to be hurt too, but not as bad as Tragedy.
SaraAnne: Deadman is trying to get up, but his weight is all shifted to one side. Tragedy is screaming!!
Jason Barret: Deadman is finally getting up. Oh my. Tragedy is holding that leg horribly. Could this be all for Mr. Tragedy???
(Tragedy is holding his leg and wallowing around. Deadman doesn't know what to do for a moment, before he comes back over and picks Tragedy up. He slides him in the ring.)
Brian Johnson: Smart move by Deadman!! Tragedy can't even seem to stand. The ref has started the count...
1......
2......
3......
SaraAnne: He's trying to hold the ropes and get up but it's not working!!
4......
5.......
6........
(Tragedy finally pulls himself up by the ropes and stands up. He holds onto the ropes long enough for the ref to tell him to continue, before he falls right back down. Deadman doesn't wait for another count, he attacks.)
Jason Barret: Deadman picks up Tragedy by his hair again. He screams out in pain as Deadman puts him in line for a suplex. He lifts him up... and holds him in the air for a very long time, before dropping him hard on his neck and back.
Brian Johnson: Nice move by Deadman.
SaraAnne: Deadman seems to have been controlling this match since he fell on top of Tragedy.
Jason Barret: That is very true.
Brian Johnson: Deadman drops down and puts Tragedy in a rear head lock. Tragedy is now fighting just to breath.
SaraAnne: Tragedy is trying to get up, but Deadman is just to strong. Tragedy is starting to black out I think... but he's still fighting!!
(You can see his eyes start to go into the back of his head, but instead, Tragedy somehow gets up to his feet, and grabs hold of the ropes. The ref starts to tell Deadman to let go, and he does.)
Jason Barret: Tragedy is on both knees, trying his best to get a breath of air. How is he still conscience!?!?
Brian Johnson: Im not sure, but I bet Deadman is thinking the same thing.
SaraAnne: Tragedy is trying to stand up, but Deadman kicks him in the midsection, sending him back to the ground. Tragedy is taking a huge beating here.
Jason Barret: Deadman goes to apply a pump handle suplex... and he nails it! Tragedy is holding the back of his head again.
Brian Johnson: The fans seem to be a little dissapointed in the lack of participation by Tragedy. He's not all here it seems.
SaraAnne: HE GOT SAT ON BY DEADMAN FOR GOD'S SAKES!!!
Jason and Brian: That's true
SaraANne: Tragedy trying to get to his knees, but once again, Deadman sends him back down with a kick to the midsection. Tragedy rolls onto his back, and when Deadman tries to stomp his stomach... YES!! Tragedy puls his foot and trips up Deadman!! Nice move!!
Jason Barret: Tragedy slow to his feet, but so is Deadman. Both men standing now, and Tragedy begins punching Deadman straight in the face. Tragedy is trying to make this a street fight... a boxing match!!
Brian Johnson: Deadman tries to counter Tragedy and his hard fists, but he can’t. Tragedy keeps them coming, and again.. he has Deadman backing up against the ropes.
SaraAnne: He bobs and weaves... Deadman tries swinging at him, but he moves. Tragedy is just too quick for Deadman in this aspect. Tragedy catches Deadman with a right jab, ducks a hard left, and then nails Deadman right in his shin.
Jason Barret: Deadman goes down to one knee very quickly. Tragedy takes advantage and nails Deadman again across the face, sending him backwards. Tragedy hops up onto the ropes, and leaps off with another elbow drop.
Brian Johnson: Except this time.. he lands it. Nice move!
SaraAnne: Tragedy tries going for a pin, but the ref quickly reminds him that there are no pins. Tragedy gets up and goes back to kicking Deadman repediately while he’s on the ground.
Jason Barret: Tragedy stops kicking him, and leaves him there laying on the ground. He yells at the ref to start counting. He does.
1.....
2......
3.......
Brian Johnson: Deadman isn’t going to stay down long!
4......
5......
(At this time, Deadman gets up on his own free will. As soon as he does, he’s hit with a superkick to the face)
Jason Barret: OUT OF NOWHERE!!! FAT-LADY-SINGING!!!!!! FAT-LADY-SINGING!!!!!
SaraAnne: Deadman is down and he’s not moving very much. Tragedy is yelling at the ref to start counting again!
1......
2.......
3.......
Brian Johnson: Deadman isn’t moving at all....
Jason Barret: This could be it folks!!
4......
5......
6.......
SaraAnne: Deadman still... ISN’T MOVING!!!!!
Brian Johnson: MY LORD!!!
7......
8.......
Jason Barret: He’s MOVING!! He’s MOVING!! He’s GETTING UP!!
9.......
(Deadman pulls himself up really quickly. He beats the ten count and the match continues.)
SaraAnne: THIS MATCH ISN’T OVER YET!!
Jason Barret: Tragedy just can’t believe it!! He picks up Deadman, and knocks him in the face again. He lifts him up, and tries whipping him into the ropes, but Deadman ducks underneath a clothesline. They both come back, but this time Deadman gives Tragedy a HUGE boot to the face!!
Brian Johnson: That was nasty!!
SaraAnne: Yes it was!!
Jason Barret: Deadman picks up the barely conscience Tragedy, and puts him in another Sleeper, but this time it’s a Dragon Sleeper!!! He’s got it locked on good!!!
Brian Johnson: Tragedy is trying to get out of this but he’ can’t seem to move at all...
SaraAnne: Tragedy is starting to lose oxygen fast!
Jason Barret: He tries moving to the right and the left... but Deadman won’t let him go. He’s got his knee right in Deadman’s back, and his head held firmly as well. This could be it.
(the fans start to scream a mixed reaction. Some cheer for Deadman and some cheer for Tragedy. People are stomping their feet, and Tragedy seems to be getting a boost of energy)
Brian Johnson: Tragedy is up on one knee again. He’s moving Deadman. Deadman is trying to stop him, but something in Tragedy won’t stop. He’s up on both feet... he breaks away from deadman. He bounces off the ropes, but Deadman nearly takes his head off with a HORRIBLE clothesline!!
(Tragedy basically goes limp after this happens. The ref begins to count again)
1.......
2.......
3.......
SaraAnne: Tragedy is slowly moving towards the ropes. He’s trying his best to get up!
4.....
5.....
6......
Jason Barret: He’s got the ropes. He’s trying to get up. Deadman is breaking up the count. He grabs Tragedy and lifts him up in the air. He throws him straight down to the mat. Tragedy just hit his back real hard.
(Tragedy grabs his back, but the movement caused him to get out of the trance he was in. For a second, he couldn’t get up. Tragedy moves around on the ground a bit before trying to get up)
Brian Johnson: Deadman isn’t going to let him up that easily. He nails him in the shoulder quickly. Tragedy back down to one knee.
SaraAnne: But he comes right back with a hard elbow into Deadman’s stomach!! Tragedy almost left the ground from a crouched position to attempt that!!!!
Brian Johnson: No SaraAnne.. he did leave the ground!!
Jason Barret: Deadman backs up a bit, so Tragedy charges him. He spears him straight into the ropes, and Deadman falls to the ground. SOMEHOW... Tragedy held onto the ropes, but he’s barely hanging on and not getting up.
SaraAnne: Tragedy is right there on the outside of the apron.. but he’s not getitng up yet.. Deadman is right below him in the same situation.
Brian Johnson: Tragedy is pulling himself up with the ropes. He’s almost standing!!
Jason Barret: Deadman is starting to get up too!!
SaraAnne: Tragedy is climbing the turnbuckle but very slowly.. is he going to make it...
(Tragedy gets up, and by now, Deadman is on his full feet. Tragedy leaps onto Deadman, but Deadman catches him. He walks around holding Tragedy, but Tragedy squirms off and falls behind him)
Brian Johnson: He’s off... and he nails Deadman with a chop block from behind. Wait... Tragedy has Deadman by the legs... he’s putting Deadman into... CHECKMATE!! CHECKMATE!!! CHECKMATE!!!!
SaraAnne: What is Checkmate!?!?
Brian Johnson: It’s Tragedy’s old submission move under the moniker Brett Logan. He used to use it as a Knockout Submission!!
Jason Barret: Very interesting, but he has Deadman on the outside. He has to win this match in the ring. He’s not getting very far.
SaraAnne: Deadman looks to be tiring.. he looks to be passing out.. but Tragedy has this big man too far from the ring!!
(Tragedy lets go of the hold, and Deadman lays there for a second. Tragedy begins to think of something. He stands there as Deadman starts to try and make his way to his feet)
Brian Johnson: Tragedy gets up on the ring apron, and walks to the far end away from Deadman. Deadman makes it to his feet, and is completely turned the opposite way of Tragedy. Tragedy begins to run towards Deadman, and right as he turns around, Tragedy catches him with a huge dropkick, sending Deadman straight to the ground!!!
Jason Barret: GREAT MOVE!!! But.. not solving his problem Brian.
SaraAnne: Tragedy.. he’s thinking again. He’s trying to pick Deadman up but he seems to be having some problems.
Brian Johnson: He’s pulling Deadman to his feet.. and he throws him up against the ring. Deadman swings at Tragedy knocking him back, but comes back hard with one sending Deadman up onto the outside of the ring apron.
Jason Barret: Quickly, Tragedy slides in the ring, and begins pulling Deadman up into the ring. It takes sometime, but he gets him almost fully into the ring.
SaraAnne: Tragedy has Deadman.. right where he wants him.. He climbs up on the turnbuckle as Deadman pulls himself up. Deadman turns around, Tragedy leaps... MISSILE DROPKICK!!
Brian Johnson: Tragedy has Deadman.. he picks up Deadman.. HE HAS HIM SETUP!!! THIS COULD BE IT!!!! THIS COULD BE IT!!!!
(Tragedy tries to get him up, but Deadman flips him back over his body and counters)
Jason Barret: NO!! He couldn’t do it!! Deadman falls to the ground too, but both men are trying to get up!!
SaraAnne: These two are up in each other’s faces again. They aren’t touching each other, just talking shit to each other.. this is amazing!!
(Tragedy rears back and slaps the shit out of Deadman)
Brian Johnson: TRAGEDY JUST SLAPPED DEADMAN ACROSS THE FACE!!!
(The crowd ooo’s)
Jason Barret: Deadman can’t believe it. He goes to hit Tragedy, but Tragedy drops down and trips up Deadman. Smart move!!
SaraAnne: Tragedy hops ontop of Deadman, and puts on a rear headlock. He’s trying to get him unconscience.
Brian Johnson: Deadman is trying to get up, the crowd is starting to get behind him at the moment.. they want him to get up!! They don’t want this match to end!!
Jason Barret: Those feet stopming again. Deadman is trying to get up. He’s trying with everything he has. HE’S UP!!! HE HAS TRAGEDY ON HIS BACK!!!
SaraAnne: HE’S TRYING TO GET HIM OFF!!! HE CAN’T!!
(Finally Deadman gets a hold of Tragedy, and there is that moment where you see on Tragedy’s face that he knows what’s coming. Then Deadman slams himn down hard in a modified version of the Full Nelson Slam)
Brian Johnson: OH MY!!! THAT WAS UGLY!!!!
Jason Barret: Tragedy is down.. but is he out!!
1.....
2.....
3.....
4......
SaraAnne: The count is up to 4... he’s trying to get up!! HE’S TRYING TO GET UP!!!
5.....
6.....
7......
Brian Johnson: Deadman can’t believe it.. but he’s almost up!!
8.....
9.....
Jason Barret: He made it... Deadman immediately nails him in the gut though!
SaraAnne: BUT TRAGEDY NAILS HIM RIGHT BACK IN THE GUT!!!
(With both men hanging over themselves, they both attempt a right hand from that position, and both nail each other in the face as hard as they can, at the exact same time. Both men fall to the ground)
Brian Johnson: OH MY GOD!! THOSE WERE THE TWO HARDEST PUNCHES I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE!!! OH MY LORD!!!!
Jason Barret: THE REF IS STARTING THE COUNT ON BOTH MEN!!!
1......
2......
3......
SaraAnne: This could be it... THEY COULD BOTH BE COUNTED OUT!!!
4......
5......
6......
7......
Brian Johnson: Deadman is trying to get up... Tragedy is rolling around but he isn’t even got a chance. Deadman gets up and wins or we have a tie here folks!!
8.....
9.....
Jason Barret: Deadman is almost up.. he’s on the ropes. Tragedy is trying but he just isn’t quite there!!
(Deadman makes it up right before the ref was about to say ten, so instead, he immediately discontinues in midsentence almost, and declares Deadman the winner by putting his hand up as they ring the bell simultaneously)
Brian Johnson: DEADMAN DID IT!!! HE RETAINED HIS TITLE!! HE DEFEATED TRAGEDY!!!
Jason Barret: ONE WEEK FROM TRAGEDY DEFEATING HIM!!! HE RETAINED HIS TITLE!!!
SaraAnne: WHAT A MATCH!!!!!
(Deadman lowers his hand and goes down to one knee. The ref places his title over his shoulders, as he pants for breath. Tragedy, finally makes it to one knee as Deadman is exiting the ring. Tragedy begins to stare at Deadman as he makes his way out with his title. Deadman does the same right back at Tragedy as he makes it out of there again with a win. Tragedy lowers himself in pain as he rolls over. He grabs a mic from the ref and as Deadman is exiting, he speaks)
Tragedy: Hey!! DAMN’T!! COME BACK HERE!!!!
(Deadman stops just at the exit, and turns around for a second)
Tragedy: DEADMAN!!! I’M NOT THROUGH WITH YOU!!! NOT BY A LONG SHOT!!!! YOU STILL HAVE A LEGEND TO DEAL WITH!!!!
(Deadman’s face grows a weird look as if he’s not quite sure if he understands. Tragedy lowers himself to the ground and drops the mic)
("Stand Alone" bursts onto the loudspeaker as Pres. Cody appears on the NEWtron. He is in a nice tuxedo for the night's events. He has a big grin on his face.)
Pres. Cody: Tragedy...Deadman, I commend you on an exceedingly well done match that matched anyone's positive expectations, and more! You both should be proud of putting up such a valiant effort! And to reward you for your efforts...I am going to let you guys do it again! And you will be doing it on next week's SLAM DANCE! Deadman's win here tonight was legit, but it didn't determine a clear winner and loser. Next week's Slam Dance will feature these two in an IRON MAN MATCH!
(The crowd erupts with cheers in the hopes of seeing a network Heavyweight title match.)
SaraAnne: Huh!?!?
Jason Barret: WHAT DOES HE MEAN!?!?
Brian Johnson: I DON’T KNOW.. BUT WE’RE OUT OF TIME!!! GOODNIGHT!!!
(The night fades out to black.)
