[2 1 . 0 8 . 9 9]
PW Shockwave was again a most succesful card. One of the major highlights of the night was the special announcement the Gibbs brothers had regarding stipulations on the Zero Tolerance world title match. The Flying Muskrat continued to display his unique style with his second victory in a row. Things look promising for this new PW star. "The Iceberg" Kevin Hall totally dominated with his power and techinical abilities over the veteran experience of "The Screw" Mike Phillips. Newcomer Almighty Kippo made his PW Shockwave debut with an impressive showing against Underdogg, taking home the victory. "Sticky Sweet" Schuyler Parker was just barely edged out by the technically precise wrestling skills of The Canadian Crippler. And finally, Esquire remains undefeated after a victory over "Ravenger" Derek Draven. Click the above logo for the full card.<The PW Shockwave Theme Music plays as a series of recorded clips of PW wrestlers fighting flash by, then the camera begins to shake, as if it’s mounted on a tripod during an earthquake. The shots shake around more and more uncontrollably, until everything is a blur. At the moment when nothing is recognizable on the screen anymore, the Planet Wrestling SHOCKWAVE logo appears with a rumble. The shot then cuts to the interior of the Planet Dome, shot from a sweeping aerial view, that shows off a jam-packed arena of cheering fans, and fireworks going off near the entranceway and the ring area. The shot then cuts to the ringside announcer’s table, where announcers David Deyo and his colleague Rick Richards are seated.>[Deyo]- <Voice raised to be heard over the cheering fans.> Hello everyone and welcome to PW Shockwave!! We're coming to you live from Planet Dome and HooBOY do we have an action packed card for you tonight! "The Screw" Mike Phillips will be putting Kevin "The Iceberg" Hall to another toughness test after the big man defeated the returning Canadian Crippler in a close one on Throttle. Underdogg will be making his return to the ring against a newcomer: The bigtime tycoon, The Almighty Kippo. And speaking of the Crippler, he'll be taking on a newcomer his own, as "Sticky Sweet" Schuyler Parker makes his in-ring debut. Finally, the main event scheduled for tonight's exciting line up will have the man who's ALL business, Esquire, going one on one with the AngelKiller "Ravenger" Derek Draven. But first, we'll be seeing eXtreme taking on the man who took complete advantage of "Ravenger"'s partner on Throttle, the extremely strange and eccentric Flying Muskrat! With me of course, is Rick Richards. Rick?
[Richards]- Well Dave, to say that Muskrat is eccentric is putting it lightly: The man makes cooking bacon naked look sane. He took Akira apart, but we'll have to wait and see what he can do against the undefeated eXtreme.
[Deyo]- These two have a history going into this one: Muskrat made his first appearance on a recent Shockwave and showed eXtreme a thing or two on his debut. I'm sure that eXtreme has wanted to get his revenge ever since, and he has his chance tonight as it's eXtreme versus the Flying Muskrat up next! Let's get to Jim Pattera in the ring...
[Pattera]- This next match is a scheduled for one fall......
<"99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" plays... The Flying Muskrat steps out of the entrance area, the crowd boos, a fan holds a "The Flying Muskrat will lose!!" sign in front of the camera.>
[Pattera]- Coming down the aisle, weighing 490 pounds, from Nizhniy, Russia, the man you love to hate, Theee Flyiiing Muuuskraaat!!!!!!!!!!!
<The Flying Muskrat makes his way to the ring.>
[Pattera]- And his opponent, Coming to the ring at this time, <"Know the Ledge" by Eric B. and Rakhim Begins... the crowd erupts!! The whole crowd is on its feet> coming from Parts Unknown, standing 6'4", weighing 253, Lets hear it for eeeXtreeemeee!!!
<eXtreme walks to the ring.>
<Ding, Ding, Ding>
***The Flying Muskrat vs. eXtreme***
[Richards]- Kick to the gut knocks eXtreme off balance. The Flying Muskrat follows up with a running knee lift to take him down!! But eXtreme up quick! Repeated chops to the chest by The Flying Muskrat! Down goes eXtreme again!
[Deyo]- Muskrat with eXtreme by the mask- OH! The Flying Muskrat rakes eXtreme's eyes with his boot laces!
[Richards]- Great move by The Muskrat!
[Deyo]- Yeah, you WOULD think so, Rick. eXtreme climbing back to his feet, The Muskrat moves in... he's got him hooked... Vertical Suplex!
[Richards]- eXtreme taking a second to catch his breath, but now both men are up. Here we go with a tie up... Who's coming out on top Dave?
[Deyo]- Well, eXtreme just shoved him away and now he's tatooing The Muskrat with chops!! So I'm gonna have to say eXtreme. And tiiim-ber! DOWN goes the big Muskrat!
[Richards]- eXtreme driving a knee into the spinal area of The Flying Muskrats back!! The big Russian has to be feeling THAT right about now! eXtreme moving back to his feet...
and he comes down across the back of The Muskrat with a double axe handle!! The Muskrat just can't make it to his feet! eXtreme over to The Muskrat- drops a knne into The Flying Muskrat's chest![Deyo]- eXtreme up and bringing The Muskrat to his feet the hard way- OH!!
What a short clothesline by eXtreme!! Muskrat trying to push himself to his feet.. eXtreme just waiting for him.. The Flying Muskrat up- eXtreme leaps onto his back- Sleeperhold applied by eXtreme! Muskrat struggling to get eXtreme off, but eXtreme is holding on tight!![Richards]- Muskrat... BACKS eXtreme into the turnbuckles and just CRUSHED the much smaller eXtreme with his near 500 pounds. eXtreme- DOWN to the mat like a ton of bricks! That's ONE way to get thinner!
[Deyo]- You're not kidding! eXtreme must have really gotten the wind crushed out of his lungs from that counter. Now The Muskrat bending WAY down to bring eXtreme back up... Irish whip to the corner by Muskrat! The Flying Muskrat chasing him in there!
[Richards]- And eXtreme levels Muskrat with a foot to the face!!! eXtreme quickly up to the second turnbuckle- drops a knee on lower leg of The Flying Muskrat! Working on the big man's wheels isn't a bad idea all things considered, and eXtreme showing some intelligent wrestling with that move! But oth men now slow to their feet... Looks like eXtreme's a bit winded...
[Deyo]- Tie up... Who's gonna come out on top Rick?
[Richards]- The Muskrat with a boot to the gut- DDT! I'm gonna have to say The Muskrat. The Muskrat up and off the ropes- drops down on him with the big elbow! The Muskrat covering- 1-2- NO!
[Deyo]- eXtreme's not going to be finished off THAT easily!
[Richards]- But it may have been a good idea to give up now, Dave: eXtreme looking like he may be hurt as he rolls over onto his stomach and clutches at those ribs. They may be broken after he got smashed into those turnbuckles...
[Deyo]- Now Muskrat rolls him over onto his back- Oh, what's this... Nonchalant cover here by The Flying Muskrat! Not even a 2-count! He's not going to pin eXtreme with a cover like that...
[Richards]- eXtreme had better be counting his teeth after that move! The Flying Muskrat's ruthless!
[Deyo]- You're not kidding. He says he's here to dominate the Extreme division of Planet Wrestling, and I shudder to think that he might be capable of it!
<The crowd begins to boo loudly.>
[Richards]- Oh, not THIS again!! The Flying Muskrat's up and standing near the ropes doing that blasted Monkey Dance of his!
[Deyo]- Oh for GOD sake! No one wants to see that kind of thing! Someone make him STOP!!
[Richards]- I'm not sure if he was listening, Dave, but for the moment anyway, he's stopped that crap.
<Muskrat looks angrily at the audience as they boo him.>
[Muskrat]- YOU'RE AS NUTTY AS A FRUITCAKE!!
[Deyo]- Muskrat now returning his focus to his opponent- hauling him up by the laces on his mask- Wait- Small package by eXtreme! 1!... 2!.. NO! eXtreme ALMOST had him there! eXtreme up! The Muskrat moving back to his feet... eXtreme scoops him up and slams him down!! eXtreme off the ropes aaaand... Leg drop across the throat of The Flying Muskrat! eXtreme back up-
[Richards]- The Flying Muskrat lunging off the mat toward eXtreme and knocking off his feet!! Desperation maneuver by The Flying Muskrat!! The Flying Muskrat crawling to eXtreme- OH! The Muskrat with the choke! The ref's counting 1-2-3-4- Muskrat releases it- C'MON! Muskrat choking him AGAIN!
[Deyo]- Oh, C'MON! Muskrat choking him AGAIN! Waiting for the five count and finally breaking it again! The actions of this man are just deplorable! And it's The Flying
Muskrat up first and bringing eXtreme to his feet the hard way- OH!! What a short clothesline by The Muskrat!! The Flying Muskrat dives on to eXtreme and applies a headlock. Muskrat wrenching it on tight! eXtreme's really struggling now! eXtreme
manages to slip out and shakes his head to clear the cobwebs. Muskrat again to his feet first and he's pulling eXtreme up.... Oh NO! It's time for a Hickory Nutcracker!! Lifts him into it- DOWN![Richards]- And he really drove the chin into eXtreme's crotch there too, Dave! eXtreme HAS to be in a buttload of pain! Muskrat covering, but this one's academic. (1!... 2!... 3!)
<The bell rings and "99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall" plays...>
[Pattera]- Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... Theee Flyiiing Muuuskraaat!!!
[Deyo]- The bizarre Muskrat once again dominating another match, his second in a row now!
<The shot cuts to the announcers’ table.>
[Richards]- And from his unorthodox style, Dave, he might just make good on that promise to capture the Extreme Championship sometime down the road! He may be a newcomer, but he's a promising one, that's for SURE!
[Deyo]- But up next, we have another relative newcomer here in the PW, another new big man added to the roster, Kevin "The Iceberg" Hall, who will be tested by ex-convict "The Screw" Mike Phillips! Let’s get to the ring right now…
<The shot cuts to the ring as the bell rings.>
[Pattera]- This next match is a scheduled for one fall!
<The kids aren't all right by Offspring Begins. The crowd erupts!! The whole place is on their feet.>
[Pattera]- Coming to the ring at this time, standing 7'3", weighing 360, he is "The ICEBERG" Kevin Hall!!!
<Iceberg makes his way to the ring., stopping briefly to sign a couple of autographs and shake the fans hands.>
[Deyo]- Kevin Hall really has these fans behind him here tonight! And it’s no wonder, after the big man edged out a win over the Crippler last Friday on Throttle! The sheer amount of electricity generated by this crowd alone is enough to get this man past his opponent!
<"Jailbreak" by AC~DC begins to play. The crowd begins to boo almost instantaneously.>
[Pattera]- And his opponent, on his way down the aisle standing 5'10" weighing 283 pounds, "The Screw" Phillips!!!
<"The Screw" walks to the ring, barking profanities at the crowd on his way down. He gets up on the apron and walks between the ropes.>
[Deyo]- JESUS! Hall lunging for "The Screw" as he enters the ring! Iceberg on the offensive before things even get started! Things aren’t looking good for Phillips!
<The bell rings.>
[Deyo]- OHHHHH! Iceberg with a big scoop slam!! What's "The Screw" gonna say to that?
[Richards]- Good move by Iceberg. Phillips tries to make it back to his feet, but Iceberg scoops him up and slams him to the mat again!
[Deyo]- "The Screw" went down hard on that one! Phillips getting up slowly, shaking his head... Phillips sure could use some help now.
[Richards]- You can say that again! "The Screw" has barely had a chance to retaliate so far!
[Deyo]- Iceberg picks him up in a fireman’s carry, and drops him right on his face! We're not seeing much offense from Phillips. Iceberg lifting "The Screw" into position for something. OHHH!!! He devastated the neck of Phillips with a tombstone piledriver! Iceberg dives on to Phillips and applies a headlock. He's pounding away at the forehead of "The Screw"!
[Richards]- What an incredible series of punches!! Kevin Hall pulling Phillips back to his feet. Phillips charging Hall out of nowhere ... clothesli- NO! Hall counters with a backdrop at the last moment!!
[Deyo]- "The Screw" climbing back to his feet, Iceberg moves in... Vertical Suplex! Hall comes down across the back of Phillips with a double axe-handle!! "The Screw" just can't make it to his feet! Phillips is ROCKED with a big elbow! Hall with the hair of Phillips.
[Richards]- Looks like he's setting him up for something... OH HO!! Big time Piledriver!!! "The Screw" is taking a pounding here, this fight could be over before it even gets going.
[Deyo]- "The Screw" hops back to his feet. Phillips sends Iceberg stumbling with a thunderous blow to the head!! "The Screw" charges in with a shoulder, which takes Kevin Hall off his feet! Finally an offense by Phillips!
[Richards]- Iceberg kicks out blindly catching Phillips’ right leg and sending him spinning to the mat!!! What a desperation maneuver by Iceberg!! Hall is up and on him with repeated boots to the knee of "The Screw". He’s working the leg! Kevin Hall drops a knee on the lower leg of Phillips!
[Deyo]- Currently this match is all Iceberg! Iceberg measures him up for an elbow smash! OH! "The Screw" taking an onslaught of punishment! Iceberg is pounding away at his entire body!
[Richards]- Phillips face is being slammed over and over by Iceberg!
[Deyo]- That could cave in his face!! The screw is moving back to his feet Iceberg out of no where with a reverse neck breaker! Phillips went down quick!
[Richards]- How much more can "The Screw" take?
[Deyo]- I don't know... I can't believe he's still trying to get to his feet! We’ve said before how tough the man is, this does more to confirm it.
[Richards]- Phillips pulling himself up slowly with the ropes…
[Deyo]- "The Screw" is running on sheer determination here! We've seen this man come back from far worse than this. Phillips is a seasoned professional who's been known to take a surprise chunk out of the hides of several younger wrestlers.
[Richards]- You’re right on that one Dave, he just be playing possum until the right moment! Kevin Hall doesn’t have nearly the ring experience Phillips does, but he makes up for it with his over-the-top hardcore style we caught a glimpse of on last Throttle. Let’s see if its enough to get by this seasoned veteran!
[Deyo]- Iceberg moves in quick... "The Screw" spins out of the way Iceberg lands hard against the turnbuckle!
[Richards]- That's gonna leave a mark....
[Deyo]- Phillips moves in hammering a series of blows in on Hall's head. Icebergs trying to fend the blows off, but Phillips won’t lay off!
[Richards]- WHOA!!! Hall just PUSHED Phillips all the way across the ring! What an incredible show of strength!
[Deyo]- The ref is down!! "The Screw" clipped him on his bullet train trip across the ring and Adam Kent is down and out! Iceberg moves in on "The Screw", knee drop to the midsection!
[Richards]- Phillips is rolled up into a ball from the pain! He’s in AGONY! I don’t care HOW tough he is: He’s not a happy camper right now!
[Deyo]- Iceberg pulling "The Screw" to his feet... I think this is it, he's setting him up for the Shipwreck...
[Richards]- What the…!?!
[Deyo]- Wait a minute folks! A masked man just charged the ring nailing Iceberg in the back with a chair!
[Richards]- Hall dropped to his knees, now the masked man brings the chair down on his head!!!
[Deyo]- That's it ladies and gentleman Iceberg is out.....
[Richards]- The masked man pulls "The Screw" over on top of Iceberg. He shook the Adam Kent the referee awake as he slid out of the ring. The count… 1..... .2..... th....
[Deyo]- NO!!!!! Iceberg just threw Phillips off of him! A terribly slow count by Adam Kent! Phillips had this one!
[Richards]- Kent is indicating it was not a complete count! This match is still anybody’s game!
[Deyo]- Both men lying motionless on the mat. Referee Adam Kent begins the count.
[Richards]- Iceberg rolls to his side reaching for the ropes to help him stand.
[Deyo]- The screw is struggling to his feet as well. He turns to face Iceberg... Boot to the midsection by Hall! "The Screw" doubled over from that one! Kevin Hall moves in and has him set up!…
[Richards]- Iceberg with the lift, Yes!!!! It's the Shipwreck!!!!!!
[Deyo]- Iceberg placing one foot on the Screws chest. Kent with the count: 1!… 2!… 3!!!!
[Pattera]- Here is your winner, "The Iceberg" Keeeeeviiiin HAAAAAALLLL!!!
<Iceberg points at the top of the aisle. The masked man still stands there, chair in hand. Iceberg waves him to come to the ring.>
[Deyo]- Iceberg is challenging the masked man!
<The masked man shakes his head drops the chair and disappears backstage. Adam Kent raises Iceberg hand for the official victory. Iceberg cheers and waves at the crowd one last time before exiting the ring.>
[Deyo]- And we see yet another mystery man tonight added to the mix! I swear there’s an endless supply of them these days! Something HAS to be done!
<"We are the Champions" by Queen plays…>
[Deyo]- Oh, for the love of GOD! NOW what?!!
<"Better than You" Brian Collins walks out through the curtain and makes his way down the ramp. He wears a T-shirt with a logo for the TCW (Totally Chaotic Wrestling) on it and has a mic in his hand.>
[Deyo]- Now what’s this? Brian Collins on his way to the ring and from the looks of it, he has something on his mind.
[Richards]- We hadn’t seen him since he took his loss in the handicap match with Smokin John Hayes! I wonder what he has to say?
[Deyo]- Unfortunately, I think we’re about to find out!
<Collins steps into the ring, sneering at the fans. The fans boo, save for a select few…>
[Collins]- <Irish accent> Shut up, the LOT o’ ya’, ‘cause I’ve got somethin’ to say tonight! This message is going out to the presidents and all the other rubbish in the back! You may be wonderin’ what I’m doing out here tonight, so I’ll TELL ya: I’m out here because I was the king of the castle back in the TCW, and I deserve to be here too, ‘cause I AM "Better than YOU"!
<The crowd boos.>
[Collins]- That’s RIGHT you filthy fools! I’m better than YOU and all your pathetic heroes who are too COWARDLY to take me on! The committees are TRYING to keep me down by lining putrid partners like the repulsive Oldfield for me, and opponents for me the like of the even SMELLIER Smokin John Hayes! The ONLY reason I didn’t beat them into the STONE AGE like I did to each and every one of my opponents back in the TCW, was because their combined STENCH made me have to plug my NOSE through the entire match! That’s why I’m out here tonight: To get BACK onto top of the world where I BELONG! Gibbs, get me into the Triple Threat match for the PW strap at Zero Tolerance!
<The boos from the crowd are louder.>
[Deyo]- This guy is too MUCH! Does he REALLY expect to be a part of the Main Event at the Pay Per View?!
[Richards]- The worst part is Dave, is that I think he’s SERIOUS!
[Collins]- <To the fans.> Oh SHUT yer’ holes, the LOT o’ ya’! ANYONE can recognize from my TCW accomplishments that *I* deserve that title more than any one of those maggots in the back, ‘cause I AM better than ALL of them put together! Not ONE of them can match my accomplishments! It’s time the Gibbs and the PW WAKE UP and recognize that I’m going to be in that title match whether any of you like it or not! And if not, SOMEONE’S going to be getting hurt tonight!
< "The Four Horsemen" by Metallica begins to play…The shot pans over to the PW Tron, where we see a shot coming from the back of the building playing. A stretch limo pulls up. The fans boo even louder than before.>
[Richards]- The fans know what that music means, Dave! And from the look on Brian’s face, he knows it too!
<Collins tosses the mic to the mat and slides out of the ring, sprinting up the aisle and up the ramp toward the back.>
[Deyo]- Collins looks ticked and he’s rushing to the back of the building! Do we have a camera back there?!….
<The shot cuts to the back area, where we see Collins rushing past people through the hallways in the back..>
[Deyo]- YES! Yes we do! The camera crews are on the ball tonight and Collins on a rampage to get to Zero’s limo out in the back of the Dome!
[Richards]- The fans don’t like either of these men, but I think they’re hoping that Collins makes big on his promise! He’s storming through anyone in his way in the backstage area!
<Collins gets to a set of doors with a red "EXIT" sign hanging about them. He sends them crashing open with a swift kick of his foot and stomps through with the cameras following behind.>
[Richards]- This could get interesting!
<The doors lead to the outside area of the building where we see the black limo parked among other vehicles. Collins begins making his way toward the limo and speaks.>
[Collins]- NOW I’ll show you just WHY I’m better-
<Before Collins can finish his catch phrase, the passenger-side door of the limo opens and an almost inhumanly large figure in a black suit and sunglasses steps out. Collins stops dead in his tracks and assumes a fighting stance. The man moves forward and can now be clearly identified as Snowblind, Absolute Zero’s bodyguard for hire. He still has a number of deep scratches on his face. He cracks his knuckles and continues to move slowly toward Collins.>
[Deyo]- Its Snowblind! He’s been banned from all PW events up to Zero Tolerance by the Presidents!!! What in the world can HE be doing here?!
[Richards]- Well he isn’t in the PW Dome, Dave, so this one is out of the Gibbs brothers’ hands!
[Deyo]- UH OH! Collins goes for a mad tackle on Snowblind! But the big man isn’t even PHASED! He’s just standing there! Collins with a punch to the abdomen, and another! Snowblind still isn’t budging! He grabs Collins by the hair, headbutt! That one sent Collins reeling- WHAT THE HELL!? Some other man in a black suit just dropped Collins with a short-arm clothesline! It’s… It IS Absolute Zero’s masked bodyguard!!
[Richards]- Does ANYONE know who that guy in Absolute Zero’s mask is?! This is shameful! How can he keep getting away with this?!
[Deyo]- I bet Brian Collins is asking himself the same thing right about now, Rick! Both men are laying a beating on Brian he won’t soon forget! I hate to say it, but maybe this will deflate that inflated head of his?
[Richards]- Looks like you may be right, Dave. The masked man is bashing Collins head into the pavement while Snowblind stomps his ribcage. They’re really sending a message out there with this beating, and it’s saying "nobody messes with Absolute Zero". Ladies and gentlemen, "Better Than You" Brian Collins has been systematically reduced to a bloody mess by these two monstrous individuals. And now they’re walking off in separate directions!
[Deyo]- That’s strange to say the least, Rick. This masked individual is headed back into the Planet Dome while Snowblind has gotten back into the limo. What do you make of it?
[Richards]- Its hard to say. Snowblind seems to be holding up his semi-suspension by staying out of the arena, but I really don’t know what to make of the other of Zero’s bodyguards heading back into the arena. Whatever the case, this one is far from over. After all, its a safe bet that Absolute Zero is still in that limo!
[Deyo]- The fans may not like Collins, Rick, but even less it seems, do they like Absolute Zero and his cronies! Up next though, we have a treat for them with something that’s actually SCHEDULED for once as newcomer The Almighty Kippo will be making his debut against a fan favorite here, the returning Underdogg!! Jim seems ready to go, so let’s get to the ring…
[Pattera]- This next match is a scheduled for one fall......
<"Get On Top" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers plays throughout the arena...>
[Pattera]- On his way down the aisle, from Philadelphia, PA, weighing in at 157 pounds, here is The Almighty Kippo!!!
<The Almighty Kippo makes his way to the ring…>
[Deyo]- The fans don't seem to know WHAT to think of Kippo here tonight. He's not a very BIG man, that's for sure. Heck, if I'm not mistaken', Underdogg is about a dozen pounds heavier than he is! He looks pretty confident though, and happy to be here to say the least!
[Pattera]- And his opponent, Coming down the aisle, weighing 167 pounds, <"I Will Survive" plays... Fans cheer like crazy as Underdogg walks out> Undeeerdooogg!!!
[Deyo]- And just LISTEN to that fan support, Rick! The fans LOVE this guy, and are awfully happy to be seeing him returning to action!
<Underdogg walks to the ring.>
[Richards]- Like you were saying, Dave: There aren't too many men here at Planet Wrestling that Underdogg outweighs. Let's see if he can take the bull by the horns and take advantage of that fact against the newcomer, Kippo.
<Ding, Ding, Ding>
***The Almighty Kippo vs. Underdogg***
[Richards]- They're locking up- Kippo shoves him away with authority! Underdogg right back in there REAL- Huricanrana by Underdogg!! The Dogg crawling over to Kippo. Front facelock applied by Underdogg. He's holding it, but Kippo getting to his feet- Underdogg up with him... turning the move around- Kippo springs over Underdogg- BIG backhand chop knocks Underdogg off balance! Underdogg grabs onto the ropes to hold himself up!
[Deyo]- Kippo in there- Dropkick to the knee of Underdogg, and down he goes! The Almighty Kippo up to his feet- Standing moonsault down onto his opponent! 1!... Underdogg with the kickout.
[Richards]- As god a move as that was Dave, I think that make have been a little bit of rookie eagerness showing through in the attepted win. The Almighty Kippo rolling over - Front facelock applied by Kippo. He's holding it, but Underdogg struggling to his feet- A punch to the ribs by Underdogg and Kippo releases the hold! DOWN goes Kippo! The
Almighty Kippo trying to push himself to his feet.. Underdogg just waiting for him- OH! Quick shot to the kidney area there by Kippo! And he spins around- SWEEPS Underdogg off his feet with a great dragon tail legsweep![Deyo]- Kippo up and he's scaling the ropes! Moonsault- Nobody home! Underdogg managed to roll out of harm's way in JUST the nick of time! But both men are down now and look winded...
[Richards]- (1!) Referee Danny Dickson is starting a count... Neither man is moving a muscle! (2!)
[Deyo]- Both men now real slow to their feet... And it's Kippo up first and helping Underdogg to his feet- Small package by Underdogg! 1-2- NO! The Almighty Kippo barely kicks out!
[Richards]- And it's Underdogg up first. He has Kippo- sends him to the ropes- Sleeperhold by The Dogg! Looks like Kippo is off to dreamland- NO! The Almighty Kippo squeezes out and reverses it into a hammerlock- Spins him around- boot to the midsection- DDT by Kippo! Nice counter there by Kippo, and into a nice little combination at that!
[Deyo]- A cover: 1!... 2!... Underdogg with a kickout! Kippo pulling Underdogg up... Kippo yelling something at him, but I didn't make it out- Underdogg winding up- Big swing- Missed! waistlock by Kippo- German suplex!!
<A replay of the move comes up on the screen.>
[Richards]- The Almighty Kippo there with a nice dodged punch that spun Underdogg around and allowed for the suplex!
<The screen cuts back to the action.>
[Deyo]- Kippo up and taunting Underdogg once again! The fans aren't quite sure what to think of this man- One minute they love the fantastic flare he's displaying, the next they're hating the fact that he's insulting one of the federation's most respected wrestlers. Underdogg in there now- But he's met with a European uppercut by the Almight Kippo- Kippo jumps! Hurricanrana- No- DOWN with a powerbomb! Underdogg really capitalized on the newcomer's mistake there!
[Richards]- He saw THAT one coming, Dave!
[Deyo]- Both men now slow to their feet... And it's The Dogg up first and bringing The Almighty Kippo to his feet the hard way- Clothesline by Underdogg- NO!! Kippo throws him down to the mat with a big hip toss! Kippo's just LAUGHING at him!
[Richards]- But it's Underdogg quick to his feet! Repeated chops to the chest by Underdogg! Down goes The Almighty Kippo!
[Deyo]- That'll teach him a lesson!
[Richards]- Underdogg pulling Kippo back to his feet. Kippo with an eye gouge!! Down goes Underdogg! The Almighty Kippo off the ropes- drops down on him with the big elbow!
[Deyo]- The Almighty Kippo reaching over for a pin: 1- NO! Underdogg with the easy kickout. The Almighty Kippo is moving back to his feet. Underdogg trying to push himself to his feet- OH! The Almighty Kippo just stomped right on his hand!!
[Richards]- I only wish that MORE wrestlers were like The Almighty Kippo...
[Deyo]- Yeah, you would... Kippo now pulling Underdogg up. Kippo lifting him and tucking in the shin- OH! Big kneebreaker there by the Almighty Kippo! That'll take the legs from under a body!
[Richards]- The Almighty Kippo covering- 1-2- NO! Underdogg with the shoulder up! This guy can sure take a lot of punishment!
[Deyo]- You said it, Rick! Kippo with a swift boot the head knocks Underdogg back down! That HAD to hurt!
[Richards]- Kippo with all kinds of time... But The Almighty Kippo taunting Underdogg! The Almighty Kippo probably should have went for another cover. Underdogg looks like he's out cold after that one!
[Deyo]- We'll just have to wait and see now, won't we? Underdogg getting to his feet and Kippo climbing to the top- OH!! Underdogg just bumped into the ropes and Kippo landed on the top rope HARD!
[Richards]- He'll be singing soprano after that! Underdogg to his feet, but he's looking woozy, but you can just immagine how The Almighty Kippo's feeling: Not so Almighty, I assure you! Both men down and taking a lot of time to get up (1!), and Danny Dickson has started the count!
[Deyo]- The fans want to see a clean finish to this one! (2!) They're cheering for SOMEONE to get up, and I don't think they really care WHO at this (3!) point!
[Richards]- But Kippo finally getting up and he count's stopping... But look out- Underdogg pushing himself to his feet even quicker! Both men on their feet now and trying to catch their breaths... And Kippo right in there and scoops him up- SLAMS him down! Kippo now going to the corner- He's climbing the turnbuckle! The Almighty Kippo up there- off the top rope- SIMPLY ALMIGHTY!! That's his finisher, Dave! He NAILED the Simply Almighty shooting star press!! Somebody stick a fork in Underdogg, he's done! Kippo goes for the cover, Danny Dickson counts ...1! ...2 !...3!!!
<The bell rings. "Get On Top" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers plays...>
[Pattera]- Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... Theee Almiiighty Kiiippooo!!!
<The shot cuts to the announcer's table at ringside.>
[Deyo]- Impressive victory there by Kippo. Maybe Underdogg wasn't quite as ready for a return to the ring as he'd thought.
[Richards]- I don't think so Dave. Kippo looked pretty impressive in there, and I think he would have outdone Undergogg on his finest day!
[Deyo]- Maybe we'll see these two fight again in the future and the tables will be turned, Rick. Now though, let's get moving on to our next match, between newcommer "Sticky Sweet" Schulyer Parker and the Canadian Crippler!
<The shot cuts back to the action.>
[Pattera]- This next match is a scheduled for one fall...
<"I'll Stick Around" by Foo Fighters starts to play>
[Pattera]- Coming down the Aisle, from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada, weighing in at 260 pounds, He stands 6'0", Theee Caaanaaadiiiaaan Criiippleeer!!!!
<The Canadian Crippler makes his way to the ring.>
[Pattera]- And his opponent, <"Look What the Cat Dragged In" by Poison starts to play Boos and Schulyer Parker sucks chants fill the arena.> Ladies and Gentlemen, accompanied to the ring by the lovely Nicole Eggert, from Olympia, Washington, "Sticky Sweet" Schuuulyeeer Paaarkeeer!!!
<Schulyer Parker walks on a pair of crutches, of which the fans don't seem to know what to think. Walking past the announcer's table, he lets them rest under his arms and snatches up a microphone.>
[Parker]- Crippler, after I'm done with you, you'll be NEEDING these!
<He drops mic, slides the crutches into the ring, then slides into the ring himself, but the Crippler meets him with a boot to the back Dickson kicks the crutches toward the corner of the ring, out of the way.>
[Richards]- Parker slides into the ring, but Crippler cutting him off at the pass and stomping away at the newcomer before he even gets to his feet!
<The bell rings.>
***The Canadian Crippler vs. "Sticky Sweet" Schulyer Parker***
[Richards]- This one's underway, but Schulyer Parker is dazed! The Crippler scoops slams "Sticky Sweet" and boy did he hit hard!! Looks like the veteran is out to make up for the loss he suffered at Throttle!
[Deyo]- I'll have to agree with you there, Rick. Good moves by The Canadian Crippler. The Crippler dives on to Schulyer Parker and applies a headlock. He's pounding away at the forehead of "Sticky Sweet"!
[Richards]- What an incredible series of punches!! Down goes "Sticky Sweet" and now the Canadian Crippler is trying to apply a figure-four!!
[Deyo]- "Sticky Sweet" Got out of it! He's lucky! But Crippler on his feet- The Crippler with the hair of Schulyer Parker.
[Richards]- Looks like he's setting him up for something... Oh Big time Piledriver!! Schulyer Parker climbing back to his feet- The Crippler moves in... Vertical Suplex!
[Deyo]- Cover by The Canadian Crippler ...1 Kick Out! What a quick kick out by Parker, especially considering the beating that he'd been getting from the Crippler so far! The Canadian Crippler pulling Schulyer Parker back to his feet.
[Richards]- A kick to the face takes "Sticky Sweet" off his feet again. Schulyer Parker moving back to his feet Crippler scoops him up and slams him to the ground!! The Crippler with a roll up. Danny Dickson counts ...1 ...2 ..NOOO Kick out!! Figure four
attempt by Crippler- "Sticky Sweet" kicks him off quick![Deyo]- That could have been the end of Schulyer Parker! But I think he may have seen it coming as that was the second time now Crippler tried for that one. The Canadian Crippler comes down across the back of Schulyer Parker with a double axe handle!! "Sticky Sweet" rolling out of there!
[Richards]- Parker hops back to his feet. Crippler charging- Parker picks him up tilt-o-whirl slam!! Where did he getthe energy for THAT one?!! And the Crippler is down! Schulyer Parker with a lateral press Danny Dickson ...1 ...2 ... OhHHHH!!!
[Deyo]- That had to be two and seven eighths!! Oh, but what's THIS?!
<The camera pans toward the entranceway, where we see Kevin Hall walking down the ramp and toward the ring.>
[Deyo]- Here comes Kevin Hall! This could be spell trouble for the Crippler, Rick!
[Richards]- No kidding, Dave! Crippler's already tired from this match, at least Hall has had a chance to catch his breath after that match against Phillips! But Hall just standing at ringside for the time being... What's going to develop here, Dave? The Canadian Crippler back to his feet. Crippler sends Parker into the ropes and follows in with a clothesline! He was on a roll there for a while, but Schulyer Parker sure could use some help now.
[Deyo]- This match is great!! Wouldn't you say so Rick?
[Richards]- I have to agree with you there, Dave. Crippler's really showing Parker what joining into the big times is all about! The Canadian Crippler's going for a boston crab.
[Deyo]- He's not gonna get it on "Sticky Sweet" is too quick! "Sticky Sweet" needs to try for another comeback! The Crippler with a lateral press Danny Dickson ...1 ...2 ... ALMOST another 3-count, this time with The Canadian Crippler on top!
[Richards]- ANOTHER cover by The Canadian Crippler ...1 ...2 ... Danny Dickson is pointing to the ropes! Parker has his foot on the ropes! "The Iceberg" standing right there, and I'm not so sure that if he wasn't that Dickson wouldn't have noticed Parker's foot on that rope!
[Deyo]- What an awesome match!!!!
[Richards]- Nevertheless, that was the right call there by the referee... Crippler is trying to pull Parker back to his feet. Parker with an eye gouge!! Down goes The Canadian Crippler! The Crippler is ROCKED with a big elbow! "Sticky Sweet" stomping the face of The Crippler. Crippler grabs Parker by the foot and throws him off balance!
[Deyo]- The Canadian Crippler hops back to his feet. Nice recovery by Crippler! Kick to the gut knocks "Sticky Sweet" out of balance. The Canadian Crippler follows up with a running knee lift to take him down!! "Sticky Sweet" tries to make his way up, but The Crippler stops him in his tracks with a double axe handle across the back!! Parker just can't make it to his feet!
[Richards]- Parker's in a dangerous situation here! Looks like The Canadian Crippler is trying for a figure four AGAIN!!! Talk about persistence on Crippler's part! But Parker manages to sit up and nail Crippler with a forearm!
[Deyo]- "Sticky Sweet" trying to get to his feet. The Canadian Crippler kicks him back down! This is a methodical side we don't usually see from Crippler. It's as though he's waiting for Sky to make one slight mistake and then make his move. And here we go again! Boston crab being applied by Crippler ... all he has to do is turn him over! The crowd is behind him on this one!
[Richards]- He may have him with that... NOOO!! Schulyer Parker with his hand on the ropes! This man just keeps escaping at the very last moment! Seems like Crippler is trying to get this match over with as soon as possible, but Sky just wont let him! Cover by The Canadian Crippler ...1 kick out! Quick kick out by Schulyer Parker! This is incredible!
[Deyo]- Schulyer Parker lunges up toward The Canadian Crippler and knocks him off his feet!! Desperation maneuver by "Sticky Sweet"!! Schulyer Parker up now, and drives a knee into the spinal area of The Canadian Crippler's back!! "Sticky Sweet" turning things around here! Parker off the ropes, and a leg drop across the throat of The Canadian Crippler! Schulyer Parker drops his knee on lower leg of Crippler! Schulyer Parker repeatedly slamming The Canadian Crippler's face into the canvas with a handful of hair! He could break his nose!!
[Richards]- What's this? Sky's going up to the second... the THIRD rope! He's waiting for The Crippler to get into position for this high risk maneuver! The fans are on their feet! "Sticky Sweet" could have this one in the bag!
[Deyo]- Crippler stumbling to his feet. He looks disoriented and can't find Parker. He turns around... missile dropkick by Sky, but Crippler reverses it by grabbing his legs and driving him down to the mat! He's still got a hold of the legs... figure four leglock! He has it on in the center of the ring! Looks like Sky's trying to roll it over, but Crippler simply has it on too tight! The pain must be excruciating!!! He tries desperately to reach for the ropes, but they're too far! There's no way out for Parker! Danny Dickson looking for the submission... he's tapping out!!! "Sticky Sweet" is tapping out!!! Crippler wins!
[Pattera]- Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner by submission... The Canadian Criiiiiiiiippleeeeeer!!!
<Crippler releases the hold and goes over to the turnbuckles, raising his arms in the air to celebrate.>
[Deyo]- Crippler getting his first win upon his rerun to the big leagues, but Hall is still on the outside watching! What are the motivations of the big man?
[Richards]- But look at the opposite end of the ring, Dave! "Sticky Sweet" is coming around and he's going for one of those crutches! Could Hall and Parker be in cahoots?!! Now Miss Eggert up on the ring apron and distracting Danny Dickson! Hall running around the ring and toward her, but Sky Parker has that crutch and he's winding up to strike Crippler from behind! Hall makes it to the other side- HAULS Miss Eggert off the apron! Parker looking over- Crippler finally sees him- CANADIAN CRACKER!!! The Crippler just hit Parker with that Canadian Cracker, and Hall deserves a little tip o' the hat on that one, Dave! And you have to wonder if this is what Hall had been talking about in a recent interview!
<We see Hall walking away from the ring. The Crippler rolls out of the ring and walks toward the back, following about 20 feet or more behind Hall. The shot cuts to a replay of what just transpired in the ring.>
[Deyo]- Right you are, Rick! Parker was distracted by Hall for a split second and Crippler noticed him over his shoulder and he was able to put that on Canadian Cracker and I'm SURE he gave Parker quite a headache!
<The shot cuts to the announcer’s table at ringside.>
[Deyo]- Still, you have to give Parker credit where credit is due- he gave the Crippler quite a run for a newcomer! I swear, Rick: The men joining into the pros these days are just getting better and better, and this man Parker is just another example. If he keeps up at this pace, he could go really far in Planet Wrestling! <Deyo pauses and puts his hand up to the headphone of his headset, as if listening to something important.> Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve just received word that Presidents Brian and Gary Gibbs are in the building tonight to make some announcements about the World title situation at Zero Tolerance!
[Richards]- This should be something else, Dave. We haven’t heard a thing about Smokin John Hayes’ proposed stipulation-
<Rick is cut off by the sudden beginning of the PW Shockwave theme music.>
[Deyo]- I think we’re about to get an answer!!!
<Brian and Gary Gibbs step through the entrance and are received with a roar of cheers from the crowd. A set of spotlights follows them to the ring as they wave to the fans and slap hands. They climb the ring steps and step through the ropes into the ring. They wave a few more times to the cheering audience and then begin to speak.>
[Brian Gibbs]- People have said before, but I’ll say it again: Planet Wrestling fans are THE best fans in the WORLD!!!
<The fans once again respond with a near deafening roar.>
[Brian Gibbs]- Now you all know that just around the corner on live Pay Per View, you’ll be seeing none other than Herald, Smokin John Hayes, and Absolute Zero going head to head for THE biggest prize in the sport of professional wrestling: THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
<The crowd again bursts into a rumbling cheer.>
[Deyo]- The anticipation here in this crowd is unparalleled! They’ve been waiting for this one for nearly a month and a half!
[Brian Gibbs]- Now Gary and I, we’re just as excited, if not MORE excited than you to see this phenomenal event take place. And just like most of you diehard PW fans out there, we want the winner of this to be decided fair and square. This match has been building up for some time now, it’d be a shame to see it ruined at the last moment.
[Gary Gibbs]- That’s why we’ve come here tonight. We need to address some pressing issues about this very match.
[Richards]- I wonder what it is this time, the Gibbs’ have dropped some huge bombshells in the past…
[Gary Gibbs]- Due to the recent increase in number of outside interference cases, and some strange occurrences during recent matches, we have decided that for the duration of the match, that security in the building will, in accordance to the Triple Threat nature of the match, be TRIPPLED! And as a result of too few PW security officials available on the evening of Zero Tolerance, at least TEN of the security staff that night will be officers of the law! The law WILL be upheld for this match and all unwanted guests will be kept CLEAR of the ringside area!
<The crowd cheers.>
[Deyo]- Wow! The Gibbs really seem to mean business for this one!
[Richards]- Wait! I don’t think they’re done!
[Brian Gibbs]- And speaking of unwanted guests, last time we were out here, we were talking about a match between IceBerg and Snowblind that would have the big man wrestling for his right to appear at ringside until after the Pay Per View had passed. Well, with the events that transpired last Friday night on Throttle, and to keep with the overall THEME of "Zero Tolerance", we’re not only banning Snowblind form ringside at Zero Tolerance, but we’re ALSO banning this new "mystery bodyguard" of Zero’s, as well as "The Natural" Lawrence Watts, "Hellraiser" Dave Carson and "Livewire" Gil Crowley, all of TSK, from being at ringside for the Triple Threat match!!
<The crowd is cheering like crazy at all of this.>
[Deyo]- The Gibbs have done it again! They’ve tipped the scales away from Zero and Hayes and made this an even playing field for Herald to get in on the game! Zero Tolerance is right around the corner and business is picking up!
<"The Four Horsemen" by Metallica play. Some of the fans in attendance begin to boo while others begin to chant "ZERO SUCKS".>
[Deyo]- My God no! Absolute Zero is in the building!
<After a few moments, Absolute Zero steps through the entrance curtains with mic in hand, wearing a white tux and blue tinted sunglasses. Over his shoulder hangs the former E-WCW World Heavyweight belt. He stands there looking around at the crowd, almost appearing to be relishing their negative reaction. He raises an arm and points out to the crowd.>
[Absolute Zero]- I’m not here to waste my time on you slack-jawed yokels, so shut the HELL up!
<Zero chuckles as his comments stir the crowd up even further. He then points towards the ring at the Gibbs brothers.>
[Absolute Zero]- What I AM here to talk about is this… this heaping load of HORSESH*T that these two JACKASSES are throwing around! <He chuckles.> Do you two REALLY have a clue on what you’re talking about!?
<The Gibbs brothers give each other a confused look and shrug their shoulders.>
[Gary Gibbs]- Can’t you keep yourself out of anything!? And where is your precious bodyguard?
[Absolute Zero]- Y’see…THAT’S what’s been bugging me, chief. I only have, and ALWAYS will have one bodyguard. I just can’t be bothered searching through the yellow pages under "bodyguard", I’m a busy world class professional athlete after all. I’m probably even busier than you two punks.
[Brian Gibbs]- Give us all a break, Zero. Everyone in this whole arena KNOWS that henchman of yours has been appearing to help do your dirty work. time again and again. Now you had better call him off or we won’t think TWICE about striking your name off the head of the card at Zero Tolerance.
[Absolute Zero]- <Chuckles.> Piss the hell off! Its out of my hands, chief! I don’t even know the guy for christ sake!! I don’t know who the HELL started this "bodyguard’ bull, but it’s WAY out of line! Just because he shows up whenever Snowblind or I are helping someone learn their place in the PW doesn’t mean he’s MY new bodyguard! Just because he wears a mask identical to my own when I wrestle, and also wears a suit similar to Snowblind’s doesn’t mean he’s MY bodyguard! Where are you people GETTING this from!? Gimme a f***ing break for chrissake! He could be part of TSK for all I know! Hell, everyone knows THEY are the real s*** disturbers around here.
[Deyo]- This is unreal! How can Zero expect anyone to believe this!?
[Absolute Zero]- So next time before you F***S walk your worthless bodies out to the ring with "a big announcement", stop and think before you speak. It’ll do us ALL a big favor.
<"The Four Horsemen" by Metallica begins to play and Zero tosses his mic to the floor. He holds the E-WCW World Heavyweight belt above his head before walking back through the entrance and the fans begin to boo. Brian and Gary Gibbs walk to the back with clearly frustrated looks on their faces, muttering back and forth between each other.>
<Shot cuts to the announcer's table.>
[Richards]- Absolute Zero never ceases to amaze me, risking his place in the World Title match at Zero Tolerance by claiming to have no affiliation with this masked man! This has really got to be pushing all of the Gibbs brothers’ wrong buttons, wouldn’t you say?
[Deyo]- Without a doubt, Absolute Zero is out to make a nuisance of himself. Still, the Gibbs have laid down the law, and the rest of TSK have joined Snowblind in the list of people banned from the ringside area for the main event! And to make things even MORE interesting, they’re TRIPPLING security, including police officers in the mix!
[Richards]- And the night isn't over yet folks! Our Shockwave Main Event is up next, where we'll be seeing whether or not AngelKiller "Ravenger" Derek Draven is able to fare better than his tag team partner did when he faced the Flying Muskrat on Throttle, when he squares off against recent acquisition Esquire. We know that both these guys have the technical skills required to compete here in the PW, so I guess the deciding factor might just be between Esquire's powerhouse tendencies, and Draven's tendency to take to the air more. Let's get to Jim Pattera in the ring...
<Shot cuts to the ring.>
[Pattera]- This next match is a scheduled for one fall......
<Beethoven's 5th Symphony starts to play... A sign in the first row reads "Esquire will lose!">
[Pattera]- Ladies and Gentlemen, from Chicago, Illinois, introducing first... Esquire!
<Esquire makes his way to the ring. "Halls of Illusion" by Insane Clown Posse plays throughout the arena...>
[Pattera]- And his opponent, on his way down the aisle accompanied by his manager, Markus Draknor, from Colorado Springs, Colorado, weighing 250 pounds, he is "Rrrrravenger" Deeereeek Draaaveeen!!!
<Derek Draven walks to the ring. The bell rings.>
***Esquire vs. "Ravenger" Derek Draven***
[Richards]- Esquire connects with a chop to the chest of "Ravenger". Esquire picks him up- Fisherman's Suplex! 1-2- Kick out! Impressive move there by Esquire right off the bat. Nice execution.
[Deyo]- Esquire covering again- 1- Not even a 2-count!
[Richards]- Esquire may be all business, but Draven's not going to let him go home THIS early! Esquire up quick- DROPS the elbow across the back of Draven's neck!
[Deyo]- Esquire now with a stunned "Ravenger" and setting him up on the top turnbuclkle!! I can't believe that Esquier's trying something like this so EARLY in the match! Esquire climbing the rope- is he going for "Money Talks"- Blocked! And Draven just shoves Esquire off and to the canvas! "Ravenger" after him! Esquire trying to push himself to his feet.. Draven just waiting for him- OH! Quick shot to the kidney area there by Esquire! Esquire scoops him up- fall away slam!!! Esquire now, with Derek Draven by the ankle- DRIVES the knee of Derek Draven down into the canvas! Derek Draven looks like he might be hurt- the referee asking him if he wants to continue... "Ravenger" springs to his It doesn't look like he's about to back down at ALL!
[Richards]- "Ravenger" moving in... He has Esquire in a standing waistlock. Lifts him- Returns the favor with a knee breaker drop!!! Isn't that ILLEGAL?!
[Deyo]- I don't think the ref saw that one, Rick. "Ravenger" now, with Esquire by the leg- Leg drag takedown by "Ravenger"! That's a dangerous move! Esquire's could have his hip, knee or ankle dislocated from a move like that! But Derek Draven's pulling all the stops and really working the leg of Esquire here. "Ravenger" crawling over to Esquire. Front facelock applied by Draven. He's holding it, but Esquire getting to his feet- "Ravenger" up with him... turning the move around- Neckbreaker drop! Nice one!

Only a 2-count! Derek Draven almost caught Esquire offguard to win the match!
[Richards]- Draven is moving back to his feet. Draven pulling Esquire up off the mat. "Ravenger" setting up for something- hooks the leg- Fisherman’s suplex? OhmyGOD!!!! He just dropped Esquire on his head with a... Fisherman's Brainbuster?!... WHAT a
MOVE! Derek Draven following up with a quick facelock! Draven showing some real old-school wrestling ability here as he's just wearing Esquire down slowly by cutting of the circulation. Chop to the ribs by Esquire! SHOVES Draven off! Esquire up quick- drops the knee across Draven's chest! Esquire to his feet and climbing the ropes... Esquire on the top! Up and- NO!! Draven rolled out of the way in lots of time![Deyo]- He was just playing possum! Derek Draven taking a second to catch his breath though...
[Richards]- Esquire drapes his arm over him for a cover- 1-2- Derek Draven gets the shoulder up. Esquire's going to have to get better weight distribution than that if he wants to win this. Both men are down and it looks like they're just taking a second to catch their breaths.
[Deyo]- Esquire crawling over to Derek Draven. Front facelock applied by Esquire. He's holding him with it and trying to wear Draven down, which may be in his best interest, considering the lack of high-flying maneuvers we've seen so far from Draven so far tonight. Esquire has to be wondering if the AngelKiller is saving up a bit of energy... Esquire though here with poor ring positioning on this one... YES! Derek Draven with a foot on the rope, and the hold is quickly broken up! Esquire up first and bringing Draven to his feet the hard way- Headbutt by Esquire sends Draven back down to eat the

Draven with the advantage. Draven has him- Takes him over with a quick Snap suplex! Draven with a stunned Esquire and setting him
up on the top turnbuclkle... Derek Draven climbing the rope- he's going to try for a Superplex!! NO! Blocked by Esquire- But Derek Draven gets it on the second try- WHAM!![Deyo]- For a SECOND there, I thought we were going to see Draven sending out a message there with a top-rope brainbuster! Either way, a move like that one has a pretty good chance of knocking the air out of both men involved, not just the recipient!
[Richards]- And I think that this is what we're seeing now as they're both just trying to shake the cobwebs out.
[Deyo]- Esquire reaching over for a pin: 1- NO! "Ravenger" with the easy kickout. Draven moving back to his feet... Esquire looking winded, but getting to his feet- Draven has him. Bringing him to the corner- Slamming his face into the turnbuckle! 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10!!!! And Esquire goes back down! Derek Draven climbing to the top- OH!!

[Deyo]- Esquire taking a second to catch his breath. Esquire covering- 1-2- NO! So close! And it looks like Esquire thought so too and is up and giving Danny Dickson an earfull about it.
[Richards]- Well, I thought it should have been over too! I swear that count was slow!
[Deyo]- Not how I saw it.. Esquire off the ropes- drops down on him with the big elbow. Now it's Esquire with another front facelock- He's leaning back on it for a dragon sleeper!!! Esquire now REALLY cutting off the circulation and the oxygen to Draven's head! This could be the end for Draven!! Draven struggling frantically!
[Richards]- All he's doing is wearing himself down quicker, Dave! Marcus Draknor is trying his best to get the fans behind "Ravenger"! They're on their feet! This is wild!
[Deyo]- Esquire REALLY sinking that hold on! Draven in some REAL trouble here! Draven still struggling though... I can't believe it: Draven's still fighting... Back bodydrop by Derek Draven!!!
[Richards]- Draven stomping away at Esquire!! Draven just not stopping!!! But Esquire is making his way to one knee with help of the ropes! Double axe-handle by Derek, but Esquire on both feet now! Derek is completely stunned at this display of stamina! He throws a punch, blocked by Esquire and returned with a punch of his own! And another! And ANOTHER!!! "Ravenger" goes DOWN!!
[Deyo]- Esquire turning the tides here in front of this capacity crowd! He's all over Draven's in there. His face is being slammed to the mat over and over by Esquire! This is incredible!

[Richards]- There you have it folks! What an amazing upset by Esquire! Marcus Draknor can't believe it! This is the second time one of the Angel Killers is defeated in singles competition since last Throttle! These former world tag team champions really have to regroup and rethink things. One thing's for sure- They're a lot stronger in the tag circuit than in the singles one.
<The PW Shockwave theme music cuts in.>
[Deyo]- Well ladies and gentlemen, it seems as though we're out of time for tonight! We'll see you at Throttle! Goodnight!
<The broadcast ends.>
