[2 6 . 1 2 . 9 9]

The words of the night for this episode of Throttle were "newcomer" and "surprise" with a total of no less than SEVEN Planet Wrestling newcomers set foot in the squared circle on this night. Coupled with interference and surprise attacks, it was a card that had everyone looking over their shoulder in anticipation of what could possibly happen next.

We first saw Matt Micheals, in his first match of the night, battling hard for the win against the girth of "Obese" Hank Albert, finishing him off with a well placed Icekick. The match was followed by Brain Collins taking on a mystery opponent, who turned out to be a newcomer by the name of Sean Swanson in a first blood match. The match went back and forth with Collins putting in a valiant effort, but it was Swanson in the end who prevailed in style, causing Collins to draw blood and thus nabbing himself a first PW victory... but not before another enigmatic newcomer calling himself the Bomb had interfered in the match, issuing a challenge to the burly Bombinator for an Extreme rules match. So, with the Swanson vs Collins match coming to a close, Bombinator accepted the challenge and promised the Bomb a fight, and the match was made. However, it was the Bomb who got the upper hand early, taking over quickly and finishing the Bombinator off in short order with a running inverted piledriver. The next match saw two newcomers gracing the ring, when Vinnie Jobberino took on NX's Zed "Black Thunder" Logan. Both men attempted a number of high-risk maneuvers in  the attempt to put the match away early, but despite an excellent first showing from Jobberino, it was Logan who prevailed in the end. The match was followed by Tommy Glide's one-on-one interview with one half of the PW Tag Team Champions: "Hellraiser" Dave Carson. But the interview was interrupted when a distracted Carson was jumped from behind by the deep-pocketed Esquire. With the rest of TSK absent from the scene, Esquire was able to do some damage before being escorted back to his locker room- but before he could make it there, Esquire was assaulted by his opponent of the night, Xander, in what ended up being a short-lived skirmish and a mere taste of what was to come later in the night. The chaos gave way to the night's fifth match, where mystery newcomer Ken Jansen made his Planet Wrestling debut against "Invincible" Vince Parker... much to the dismay of the fans. Despite the fans' lack of support for the PW rookie, after a slow start Jansen was able to dismantle Vince and secure the win. The night though, was just heating up: Esquire took on newcomer Xander in a grueling match, with both sides giving and taking a lot. The closing moments of the match saw the edge of experience being the match's deciding factor, as Xander made a crucial mistake that cost him the match. But troubles for Esquire were far from over: a stunning attack by TSK and their Smoking Bombshells, saw Esquire knocked unconscious and his butler Geeves brainbusted through a wooden table at ringside. Esquire looked to be on the brink of suffering the same fate, if not for the intervention of PW security in the nick of time. When the dust had settled and the ringside area was cleared, the Ice Man partook in his second match of the night, as he took on the challenge of facing the newcomer Dr. Troy Howard. The Extreme Champion, Iceberg arrived at ringside to keep the peace, but it was his nemesis DemonKnight who attacked him. The Canadian Crippler would arrive on the scene for the save as Micheals took care of Howard to win his second match in the same night. Everything boiled down to the main event between the Canadian Crippler and Herald. However, the match ended on a disappointing note, as upon an attack on Rage by the enigmatic newcomer Nemesis, the Canadian Crippler was able to take advantage of a distracted Herald to win the match.

[The scene opens with a series of quick clips of various PW wrestlers performing moves on other, less fortunate wrestlers. Intermittent in between these are  short clips of pistons pumping, RPM gauges with the needles pushing the redline, flames flaring from an engine’s manifold, tires are seen squealing against hot asphalt then tearing into millions of pieces. Superimposed over all of this is the Planet Wrestling theme music. Finally, for the conclusion, a hand gloved in black leather gripping a stick shift shifts it into "high gear". The Throttle logo fades in over this, with the middle T’s replacing the shift stick. The music ends with a resounding, metallic "CHUNG!", then bursts into flames, fading into an aerial view inside the Planet Dome, where the PW theme music re-starts as fireworks go off by the entrance ramp and from the corner posts of the ring. The seats of the arena contain a sea of fans waving about various sings. The camera pans over them, and the shots switch as the crowd is scanned, bringing signs with writing such as "SMEG OFF!", "The Stink ", "TSK: The New Gold Rush", "Better Than WHO?", "The Ice Man will MELT!", "Smeg THIS!", "Get Well Brain Gibbs", "Esquire- I need a loan!" and even "I AM THE MYSTERY MAN!". They’re cheering like mad as the camera sweeps over them. The shot switches to the announcer’s table at ringside, where David Deyo and Rick Richards are seated, wearing headsets and nice-looking business suits.>

Dave - Hello Everyone and welcome to a special holiday edition of Throttle!! We're coming to you live from Planet Dome and BOY do we have an action packed card for you tonight! I’m David Deyo and with me tonight, of course, is commentator Rick Richards to tell you more about what’s sure to be a spectacular card. Rick?

Rick - No doubt about it Dave: Not only are we on the heels of the best Pay Per View event ever seen in Zero Tolerance, and not only are we going to be seeing the very LAST Planet Wrestling card before the new millennium, but we’re in for a treat tonight as we’re geared up for the Planet Wrestling debuts of at LEAST four new stars in the PW: We’ll see newcomer vs. newcomer when the NX big man Zed “Black Thunder” Logan takes on the greasemonkey Italian, Vinnie Jobberino! We’ll see the debut of Dr. Troy Howard as he takes on the “Ice Man”, and we’ll ALSO be witnessing PW newcomer Xander as he’ll be sure to have his hands full when he squares off against the blueblood Esquire. And that’s not to mention what other goodies we have for you tonight!

Dave -Right you are, Rick! We’ve got some great matches lined up tonight, and some real surprises: Like Rick said, Matt Micheals will be facing Dr. Troy Howard in what will be the first match in tonight’s double main event, but not before he has to take on the immense “Obese” Hank Albert! And not one, but TWO mystery matches have been signed for the night!! The first will be a first blood match, no less, where “Better Than You” Brian Collins will be going up against a mystery man! And the mystery opponents just keep coming as an unknown participant will be competing in one-on-one action with “Invincible” Vince Parker! And what about our main event of the night? Have we got one in store for you: The newly reformed Canadian Crippler, with his reforming fan following, will be going toe-to-toe with another fan favorite of Planet Wrestling, the mysterious Herald!! So strap on those safety belts folks, it appears that we’re in for quite a ride!

Rick - And we’re starting of with what has the potential to be a great match, Dave, as we’ll be seeing the “Ice Man”, who though he may not be at 100% after the punishment he took during Zero Tolerance’s Extreme Title match.

[The shot of the announcer’s table cuts to a series of stills from Zero Tolerance that start to be shown one by one as the announcer’s speak.]

Dave - Nevertheless, what we saw from Michaels at the Pay Per View was nothing short of a 100% effort, and from what I can understand, the fan mail is just overflowing in the mailroom, coming from fans that are supporting the man and the guts he had to perservere as long as he did in that unbelievable match. Folks, let me remind you that if you didn’t see Zero Tolerance on Pay Per View, then you’ll soon be able to find it at your local video store, so save up those extra dollars and add this INCREDIBLE night of action to your collection before all copies fly off the shelves!

Pattera - This next match is a scheduled for one fall...

["Sexy Boy" plays throughout the arena]

Pattera - On his way down the Aisle from San Antonio, Texas, weighing 247 pounds… He is Maaatt Miiichaaaeeels!!!

[The lights go out, and a “Ice Man”, written in laser lights appears on the center of the ramp. Michaels walks out from behind the curtain, and acknowledges the fans with a little dance. He proceeds towards the ring, slapping the hands of the reaching fans as he passes them. He climbs up on  the ring apron and dances along it for a moment, then climbs between the top two ropes. Michaels  does his pose and the pyro fires off behind him crossing in the form of an “X. He removes his vest and hat, then climbs the turnbuckles, raising his arms and crossing them in the shape of an “X. As he does so, his music cuts. "Fat" by 'Weird' Al Yankovich plays... Boos cover up the announcement...]

Pattera - And his opponent, Coming to the ring at this time, hailing from Miami, Florida, standing 6'2", weighing 557 pounds, Hank Albert.

Matt Michaels manages to slip out and shakes his head to clear the cobwebs. “Obese “ Hank Albert absolutely DOMINATING things here in the early running of this match…

Rick - You really have to wonder whether or not the Ice Man will be able to past Hank here, much less past Dr. Howard later tonight! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Dave, but I don’t think it was time for Michaels to make a return to the ring quite yet after that Extreme match at Zero Tolerance… Big Hank to his feet now… measuring him up- Drops the leg - Micahels rolled out of the way!

Dave - Both men now slow to their feet... Wait just a second here folks!

[The shot cuts to the ramp, where we see that Kevin Hall is walking down toward the ring.]

Dave - Hello! Kevin Hall making his way to the ringside area! The newly-crowned Extreme champ had said that he'd be here to watch Michaels' back and it looks like he's going to make good on his promise! He's positiononing himself at ringside now and seems intent on keeping the peace.... On the inside though both men on their feet and staring each other down as they search for an opening... Hank Albert tossing out the insults to Michaels! They lock up. Big Hank with a knee to the midsection. Suplex by Albert! Matt Michaels can't let himself be distracted like that!

Dave - They want to see more action! You can bet that The Ice Man and Big Hank are game!

Rick - What a match this has been so far!

Dave - It's what the fans expect to see from athletes of this level!

Rick - You're not kidding! The PW is where it's AT! Hank Albert and Matt Michaels both getting their footing- Matt Michaels off the ropes- Drop toehold by Big Hank! I can’t say I expected THAT move by the big man!

Dave - The Ice Man’s face is being slammed to the mat over and over by Hank Albert!

Rick - Get in there ref!!

Dave - Hall up on the apron! But Adam Kent stopping Albert and backing him off and back down to the floor goes Hall... Both men now slow to their feet...

Dave - Hank Albert to his feet- Waistlock applied- TEARS Matt Michaels off the mat- DOWN in a German suplex! What an INCREDIBLE strength demonstration!

Dave - Not how I saw it... Big Hank Stomping away at the chest of Michaels! Pulling Michaels off the mat now is Big Hank... Scoops him up- DOWN across the knee with a stomachbreaker!

Rick - Hank Albert isn't wasting any time getting up. He measures The Ice Man up again... falling headbutt, but this time to the groin!!

Dave - Hank Albert up again- HUGE splash by Hank Albert!!!

Rick - CALL 9-1-1!! 1-2- NO! The Ice Man barely kicks out!!! The man must be a GLUTTON for punishment! And just think: if Hank doesn’t eat him alive here, the Ice Man STILL has another match to wrestler here tonight!! Now another choke hold by Hank Albert!

Dave - Albert now to his feet and showing Michaeals to his feet the hard way- OH! And a headbutt by The Ice Man sends Albert back down to eat the canvas! Michaels measuring Big Hank up-

Rick - Michaels stomping away at Albert!! Stopping… NOW what’s he doing?!

Dave - He’s climbing to the top! Hank Albert slowly getting to his feet- Missile dropkick by Matt Michaels- Hank Albert just barely steps out of the way in time! Maybe Matt Michaels shouldn't have tried for the high risk maneuver! They've been through a lot here tonight: The fans are definitely getting their money's worth off of this match alone, that's for SURE! Albert driving a knee into the spinal area of Michaels’s back!! Like him or not, you can't argue that Hank Albert is one heck of a competitor. On his feet now and off the ropes- Elbow drop- Matt Michaels out of the way just in time!

Rick - Matt Michaels reaching over for a pin: 1- NO! Big Hank with the easy kickout. Both men now slow to their feet... And it's The Ice Man up first and bringing Big Hank to his feet the hard way- Clothesline by Michaels- NO!! Hank Albert throws him down to the mat with a big hip toss! And Hank just COLLAPSED onto the canvas again! Both men are down and it looks like they're just taking a second to catch their breaths, but I dare say that “Obese” Hank Albert looks to be EXHAUSTED! And with  all that extra weight that he carries around with him, it’s no WONDER, considering how grueling a match this has been. Matt Michaels getting to his feet and helping Albert up- Side Russian leg sweep by The Ice Man! Rolls over onto him- 1-2- No! Only a 2-count.

Dave - Say what you will about Michaels, but he's getting up again and he just keeps coming at Hank Albert! DOWN with the kneedrop! Covering: No! Only a one count. Hank Albert on his feet- stomping away at Matt Michaels!! Big Hank just not stopping!!! WAIT: The IceMan caught his foot- Corckscrew dragon leg drag takedown by Matt Michaels!!!

Micheals crawling to his feet and pulling himself up… Albert getting to his feet too! Michaels  waiting for Big Hank to turn- Here it comes- THE ICEKICK! This one's over folks! Matt Michaels goes for the cover, Adam Kent counts ...1 ...2 ...3!!

[The bell rings, and “Sexy Boy” plays…]

Pattera - Your winner, “The Ice Man” Maaaaaaaatt Miiiiiiiiichaels!!!

Rick - And as the Ice Man composes himself, back to the locker room goes Iceberg!... Well, that was one helluva’ match to open things up here on Throttle, Dave, but you have to wonder: After being put to the test by the fatman himself, not to MENTION the fact that he’s STILL limping from the barrage of assaults he endured at Zero Tolerance, will Matt Michaels have enough gas left by the time he has to face Dr. Troy Howard later tonight?

Dave - No doubt about it Rick: Outmatched as he was in terms of the size mismatch we just witnessed, the sheer GIRTH of Albert must have taken its toll on Michaels. We’ve seen him bounce back before though, most notable at his Zero Tolerance performance in the Extreme match, following each vicious onslaught he received, but one has to question just how much punishment one body can actually take. And I regret to have to tell you that Mr. Michaels may be demonstrating the answer to that very question for the fans here tonight...

Rick - And SPEAKING of the fans, they’re in for a treat with this next match, ‘cause not ONLY are they going to be seeing Brian Collins step into the ring against a mystery opponent, but they’re going to be getting a taste of blood JUST in case they missed the carnage at the Pay Per View, as Brain Collins will be looking to ruddy his opponent in a First Blood rules match!

Dave - That’s right, Rick. Everyone is wondering what this trend with the mystery man is all about: First we saw Absolute Zero’s mystery bodyguard, who of course turned out to be the Canadian Crippler… We also witnessed the return of DemonKnight after he unveiled himself to Kevin Hall! And who can forget that Herald’s disciple, Rage has returned to the federation with rumours of revenge flying around the hotsheets! So one has to ask, with rumors of some new recruiting staff also circulating, who are the men in these matches tonight, first in our next match against Collins, and later against “Invincible” Vince Parker! Could they perhaps even be some already established PW wrestler? Are they returning stars? Could both the mystery slots tonight have been granted to the same man?

Rick -Well, Dave: at least some of our questions are sure to be answered soon enough…

[The lights dim. "Shine on you Crazy Diamond" by pink Floyd starts to play… A figure steps forth from behind the curtain and onto the top of the ramp, and the fans don’t seem to know quite what to think. Slowly the lights return to normal, and the man seen at the top of the ramp, is wearing black jeans and a blue T-shit under a black vest, which do nothing to hide a tattoo on his face and another on his arm, nor for that matter, to hide his blue-coloured hair. He looks to the awestruck fans and pulls a Canadian flag out from his vest, and waves it about. Still, the crowd just doesn’t have much of a reaction at this new face.]

Dave - Any idea who this guy is, Rick?

Rick - Honestly Dave, not a clue. Let’s listen to see what Jim has to say about him…

[The bell rings.]

Pattera - This next match is a First Blood match and is scheduled for one fall... Coming down the Aisle, from Vancouver, B.C., Canada , weighing in at 235 pounds, He stands 6'4", Sean Swanson!!!

[Swanson makes his way to the ring, and steps inside. Swanson proceeds with some stretching… His music cuts out.]

Pattera - And his opponent, ["We are the Champions" by Queen starts to play... a fan holds up a sign that reads "Brian Collins will lose!"] Ladies and Gentlemen, from Dublin, Ireland, Introducing Brian Collins!!!

[Brian Collins makes his way toward the ring.]

Rick - Well, you have to wonder about this Swanson guy picking Collins as his inaugural opponent here in the PW: Though he’s not exactly had the federation’s best win streak, he IS one tough customer. But we can’t forget the fact that Brian there, isn’t exactly all healed up from that Extreme Championship match and any ONE of his bruises are probably tender enough to be busted open at any given time.

Dave - But of course, we’ve ALSO seen some of the punishment Collins can take, not to mention what he can dish out, so I’d say we’re in for quite a fight here: Remember the only way to win this one is by making your opponent draw blood, so we’re guaranteed to see some gore in this match. To viewers who may be faint of heart, you may want to change the channel for a few moments and join us when this slugfest is done and over with! Collins on the apron now, confident as ever and stepping into the ring…

*** Sean Swanson Vs Brian Collins ***

[Swanson hammers Collins with a double axehandle blow to the back.]

Rick - Sean Swanson is taking over from the start! Swanson off the ropes- Clothesline! Collins down, but quick to his feet! Here come Swanson again- ANOTHER clothesline! Swanson just steamrolling over Brian Collins at the moment!

[The bell rings.]

Dave - Figure four attempt by Sean Swanson. "Better than You" kicks him off quick!

Rick - No surprise there! Brian’s no rookie to this game, folks, and he’s not going to be taken out THAT quickly! This Swanson character has another thing coming if he was thinking otherwise. Brian Collins up to his feet and going to the top! But Swanson is
right up there after him- they're battling it out on the top, but "Better than You" seems to be taking a beating... Swanson has him hooked- SUPERPLEX!!!!!

Dave - Sean Swanson on his feet- stomping away at Collins!! Swanson Stomping away at the chest of "Better than You" ! "Better than You" looking like he's trying to catch his breath, but Swanson from behind. Kicks him over onto his back. Swanson really dominating this match here so far and now it looks like he’s going to the top!! Swanson up there- DIVING HEADBUTT!!!

Rick - The man’s CRAZY! He could have very well split HIMSELF open with that move and lost the match! He had better be careful or he may wind up going back to wherever he came from in short order…

Dave -They're both just trying to shake the cobwebs out...

Rick - "Better than You" coming around and pushing himself up- Sean Swanson flying off the mat with a chop block!

Dave - CRIPES! If he was looking to slow Collins down, then he may be on to something! Swanson is moving back to his feet. Sean Swanson pulling "Better than You" back to his feet.

Rick - Sean Swanson setting Collins up for something- NO! "Better than You" counters with a backdrop! Talk about a crazy match! "Better than You" pulling Sean Swanson up off the mat now, setting him up- Running powerbomb- DEVASTATING move!! Brian Collins measuring him up... drops the elbow! I'd like to remind everyone that this is First Blood match, so if you're faint of heart, you may want to look away until the dust has settled... Or the until the blood's dried!

Dave - Collins up again and measuring Swanson… DROPS the knee- Swanson avoided just in time! Collins must have landed on his knee funny or re-injured it or something, because as you can see he’s holding while on the canvas and appears to be hurt! Sean Swanson rolling on the mat toward Collins- OH! A rolling back elbow by Sean Swanson landed DIRECTLY on Brian Collins's nose! Is he bleeding from that?…. I’m not seeing blood and the ref is letting this match continue, so it’s looking like the  damage wasn’t as bad as it may have looked… Sean Swanson to his feet and he grabs "Better than You" by the ankles- DROPS the elbow down onto Collins’ quadricep! It would appear that the newcomer is trying to slow Collins down here, with  attacks to the legs…

Rick -. Well, if he can do that, Dave, he stands a pretty good chance of getting in a good shot to make Brain bleed. Now it’s "Better than You" though trying push himself up to his feet- But Swanson shoves him right back down! Collins shaking the cobwebs loose. Half Crab applied by Sean Swanson. Brian Collins struggling to get out of it- he makes it to the ropes and powers out of it!

Dave - You have to wonder what's going through their minds at a time like this Rick- With this Swanson character making his debut here tonight and Collins looking DESPERATELY to climb the PW ladder, neither man is going to want to take a loss at this point! Sean Swanson on his feet…

Rick - "Better than You" pushing himself up… Swanson just waiting for him- OH! Quick shot to the kidney area there by "Better than You" ! And "Better than You" just SPIT in Swanson's face! Ho HO! And Sean Swanson returns the favor with some spitting of his OWN!! They lock up- And Sean Swanson throws Collins down to the mat with authority! "Better than You" climbing back to his feet, Sean Swanson moves in... he's got him hooked... NO! Reversal by Collins- Belly to back suplex! OH! And it caught Adam Kent on the way down and took him out! Both men down and getting the ol’ oxygen back into the lungs, but the referee appears to be out cold! Three bodies lying motionless in the ring, and it's a good testament to what a rigorous match this has been thus far!

Dave - Wait just one moment folks...

[The shot cuts to the ramp, where a man measuring about 6 1/2 feet, 250 pounds, makes his way down toward the ringside area. He wears a pair of black jeans and a tank top, with a stylistically drawn, old-fashioned cartoonish black bomb on its center.]

Dave -And who in the world is THAT man?

Rick - Once again, Dave, I haven't got the foggiest! But he seems pretty intent on making it to the ring, and we've not got anyone out here to stop him yet...

[The man makes his way to the ring side area.]

Dave - Folks, we have no idea who this mystery man is- could HE be the one that we're going to see taking on Vince Parker tonight?

Rick - Well, whoever he is, I'm not too sure what he's doing as he climbing over the guardrail now and going into the crowd... Oh, wait a minute...

Dave - Oh dear: The mystery man into the crowd now and he's taking one of their chairs! Over the guardrail once again and up on the apron and with that steel chair in his hand, and into the ring!

Rick - I STILL don't have any idea who this guy is, Dave, but whoever he is, he just walked into the ring like he OWNS the thing and he's just standing there!

Dave - Brian Collins getting to his feet with the help of the ropes, but so is Sean Swanson!

Rick - Oh MY!!! And Collins was just WAFFLED by the mystery man with that steel chair! Down he goes to the mat like a ton of bricks! Now the man has the chair raised up over his head again- BAM!!! And he just laid Swanson out with the chair too! Who IS this guy?!

Dave - I don't know, Rick, but considering the great match that was going on, the fans don't seem much too happy with him right off the bat! The only thing I CAN say for him is that for SOME reason, he seemed to avoid BOTH competitor’s heads, targeting instead Swanson's shoulder and Collins' back...

Rick - I noticed that too- Was he maybe trying NOT to get these men to bleed? Oh crap! He's coming over to our table.

[The man grabs a mic off the announcer's table.]

mystery man - This was just a demonstration of what I'm capable of! Bombinator, I know that you're in the back and after someone bleeds here, I want a match with YOU to show you and the rest of Planet Wrestling that THE BOMB is here and that I'm the most extreme wrestler that the world will ever see! Bombinator, the Bomb is going to show you first hand what the true meaning of a bomb really is!

[The Bomb tosses the mic back at the announcers' table, and David Deyo catches it and places it on the table.]

Rick -Well, we got our answer about who this guy is, but I'm not so sure that challenging the Bombinator for a debut is a great idea: the man's a monster, Dave, plain and simple.

Dave - Swanson slow to get his footing back- But he's taken back down hard via a lunging chop block by Brian Collins! Sean Swanson pushing himself up again, but Collins up first- Brian Collins HAULS him down with a clothesline!

Rick - Swanson may want to get the license plate number on THAT truck- heck: he may even have preferred another chair blasting from that Bomb character over a clothesline like that one! On the canvas is Swanson and Adam Kent checking for blood, but the match is going to continue…

Dave - Collins now with a choke on Swanson!!

Rick - Just look at the color that Sean Swanson turning!

Dave - And it's Swanson batting his hand away to break the hold... What do you think of the match so far, Rick?

Rick - Swanson needs to make a comeback if he’s going to make this start a memorable one, Dave, especially after that Bomb guy made his presence felt…

Dave - But we’re seeing Collins on the comeback road instead and maybe working his way toward a much-needed win here tonight as he’s up to his feet first.

Rick - Brian Collins… he’s climbing to the top! Swanson slowly getting to his feet- Missle dropkick by "Better than You" -Swanson just barely steps out of the way in time! Maybe Brian Collins shouldn't have tried for the high risk maneuver…

Dave - Swanson wasting no time whatsoever, as he ran and dropped the knee right into the small of Collins’ back!

Rick - Brian Collins’ face now being slammed to the mat over and over by Sean Swanson!

Dave - This match could be over with in a hurry folks!

Rick - Brain has to get out  of this or he’ll be bleeding in no time flat! Collins though turning over and shoving Sean Swanson off of him in time. And still neither man has drawn blood. Both men now to their feet- Collins with a big swing- ducked by Swanson! Swanson off the ropes! Vertical splash takes Collins down! And Swanson just RAINING punches down into the face of Brian Collins!! We may have in winner in short order here again!

Dave - But it’s Collins rolling Swanson off and landing a punch or two of his own for good measure! Swanson crawling over to a corner and pulling himself up as Collins gets to his feet slowly… Swanson on his feet and moving in…

Rick - OH! And a big chop by Swanson on Collins! And another! Backing Collins into the turnbuckles- Lands the European uppercut does Sean Swanson! And a second one of those too! Kneelift to the midsection now by Swanson! Swanson with a handful of hair- MAN! Raised the knee right across the bridge of Collins’ nose! And another one!! And a THIRD right to the teeth!!! Three kneelifts to the face there by Swanson and Collins MUST be bleeding, but I can’t tell- DDT BY SWANSON!!!

Dave - He snapped him down to the mat like a mousetrap, folks! What a great DDT that was: But can you believe it?! After the punishment he just took in the corner, Brian Collins STILL isn’t showing any signs of blood! Unbelievable!

Rick - It’s appearing that he and “Invincible” Vince have switched places here tonight or something, Dave, ‘cause the man is seeming to have some real superhuman resilience here tonight! But just look at Kent: even HE can’t believe that he’s not had to call for the bell yet! Swanson not showing any signs of discouragement though as he pulls “Better Than You” up off the canvas… Setting Collins up for something here… He has a pumphandle secured- the lift- Ohmy- JESUS LORD!!!! What a MOVE!!

Dave - I’ve been watching wrestling for a long, long time folks, and NEVER have I seen that one before!

Rick - A… Pumphandle pildriver, I guess….

[Adam Kent pops up to his feet and signals to the timekeeper. The bell rings and “Shine on you Crazy Diamond” by pink Floyd plays...]

Rick - And it won him the match too, as Brian Collins has REALLY been busted open with that one!

Dave - Talk about putting the exclamation point on ending the match!… Wow! Let’s get the official word…

Pattera - Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... Seeeaaan Swaaansooon!!!

Rick - Swanson walking away with his first win here in Planet Wrestling, and in a first blood match no less. And from what I saw in that match, the man has a bright future ahead of him indeed in the federation.

Dave - And what about the possibility that we could be seeing him again here tonight? COULD he be a second man tonight that has the gall to wrestle in two matches in the same night? Or could that honor even be going to this new man, the Bomb, who may very well be steeping into the ring against the Bombinator tonigh-

[The whistle of a bomb falling, then exploding plays throughout the arena… The Bombinator walks to the ring to a chorus of boos.

Rick - Well, the Bomb made a challenge to the Bombinator, and it looks like the Nuclear Nightmare from Three Mile Island is going to give him an answer!

[Marching intently to ringside, Bombinator passes the announcer’s table and snatches up a mic, then walks into the ring.]

Bombinator - Arright “Bomb”, I don’t know who the hell you are, or even who you THINK you are, but if you think you can come into the Planet Dome and start barking off challenges and claims of greatness, then you’re in for a big surprise bucko! You claim to be some master of the extreme or something? You’re about to find out what an extrme beating’s all about, so get your lowly carcass to the ring so I can destroy you!

[Bombinator walk over the ropes and hops down to ringside, grabbing Jim Pattera ot of his seat by the lapels, dragging him into the ring.]

Rick - Like I said before, Dave: It may not have been in this Bomb guy’s best interest to make his debut by calling out the Bombinator… I have a feeling that making this guy mad might be a big mistake.

[The bell  rings.]

Dave - Well folks, Bombinator’s trying to make this one official…

Pattera - The following extreme rules match is scheduled for ONE fall… Now in the ring, from Three Mile Island, weighing 324 pounds: The Bombinator!!!

["Break Down the Wall" starts to play… The crowd doesn’t seem to know quite what to think of the whole situation…]

Pattera - Ladies and Gentlemen, from Chicago, Illinois, Booomb!!!

[Pattera ducks out of the ring quickly. Bomb runs to the ring and slides in. Bombinator kicks him in the back before he can get up, then taunts him to get to his feet.]

*** Bomb Vs The Bombinator (extreme match) ***

Rick - The Bombinator is taking over from the start with a kneelift to the ribs! Shoves the Bomb back! Both men now circling and looking for an opening...

[The bell rings.]

Dave - And it looks like this one’s official! Yet ANOTHER surprise to add to the mayhem tonight! Bombinator looking for an opening- in there with a shoulder block that sends Bomb to the mat! Bombinator picks him up in a fireman’s carry, and drops him right on his face!

Rick - If Bombinator keeps this up, the Bomb may want to invest in apple sauce stock and get the heck back to wherever he came from!...

Dave - Bomb lunging off the mat toward The Bombinator and knocking him off his feet!!

Rick - The Bombinator slow to get his footing back- But he's taken back down hard via a chop block by Bomb! Bomb just not letting Bombinator get a vertical base. And it's Bomb up first. He has Bombinator up to his feet now- sends him to the ropes- Sleeperhold by The Bomb! HOLY COW!! The Bomb just BULLDOGGED the big Bombinator to the mat with that Sleeperhold on tight! Nice move!

Dave - And just listen to the fans, Rick: They're just LOVING this!

Rick - How can you BLAME them Dave? This is PW action we’re talking about here! Bomb now sliding to the outside- he’s going for a steel chair! Tosses it into the ring! Bomb up on the apron, and Bombinator getting to his feet and with a huge swing! Bomb ducked it!! OH! Big shoulder to the abdomen between the ropes by the Bomb! Bomb climbing into the ring and now with that steel chair! Bombinator turning around- OH!!! He just wrapped that thing around Bombinator’s head like it was a piece of TIN!! Wow!

Dave - Bomb now just tosses that chair down onto the mat and he shoves Adam Kent away! Kent warning him, but I don’t think the Bomb really cares! Bomb now hoisting Bombinator up onto his shoulder- running- MY DEAR LORD!!!!!!! The Bomb just TOMBSTONED The Bombinator into that steel chair!!! Bombinator busted WIDE open and bleeding profusely!

Rick - Bomb covering, but this one’s just academic as Kent does the three count…

[The bell rings as the fans cheer for the Bomb.]

Pattera - Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... The Booomb!!!!

Rick - The fans are taking an early liking to this guy, Dave- He may have a good future for him in the Extreme division of the PW with moves like what he just finished Bombinator off with, THAT’S for sure! He cleaned the big Bombinator’s clock quicker than ANYONE I’ve ever seen here in the PW and he made it look easy! And let me assure you that the big man from Three Mile Island is NO pushover.

Dave - Indeed, Rick. I’ll agree- this Bomb may be going places! The fans on their feet for this newcomer, and they MSUT be hoping that HE’S going to be the mystery man that ‘s going to be squaring off against Vince Parker later tonight, and to be quite honest, I wouldn’t mind seeing THAT matchup myself!

Rick - We’ll have to wait and see about that one, Dave, ‘cause our next match of the card is between not one, but TWO new faces that we’ll see in PW action for the first time as Vinnie Jobberino will do what he can to fend off the self-proclaimed strongarm of New Generation X; the former Trans World champion’s brother himself: Zed “Black Thunder” Logan!

Dave - And what a match this one has the potential to be, Rick: I tell you that I don’t envy Jobberino in the LEAST! I’d hate to be in his shoes right now, with Zed not only gunning for his first win, but still fuming over the events of Zero Tolerance and the actions of TSK against the NX team. Who can POSSIBLY forget the FIREBALL that “Hellraiser” Dave Carson set off in the face of Zed’s brother Zack? With all that eating at him, Zed’s going to have a LOT of anger and frustration to vent and I have a bad feeling for Mr. Jobberino, that he’s going to be experiencing some of that rage first hand.

[The theme for “Welcome Back Kotter” plays… the bell rings. Vinnie Jobberino steps out of the entrance area, the pyro goes off, the crowd is going insane!! ]

Pattera - This next match is a scheduled for one fall... Coming first down the aisle, weighing 235 pounds, from Brooklyn, NY, Viiinniiieee Jooobbeeeriiinooo!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick - Sounds like we have some Vinnie Jobberino fans in the audience here tonight!

[Vinnie Jobberino walks to the ring. His music cuts out and "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath starts to play "Zed Logan" chants start in the crowd.]

Pattera - And his opponent, ladies and Gentlemen, from Death Valley, Zeeed Looogaaan!!! [The chants over power the announcement]

[Zed Logan makes his way to the ring, steps inside and the Bell Rings and the match officially begins]

*** Zed “Black Thunder” Logan Vs Vinnie Jobberino ***

Rick - Jobberino rocks Logan with a forearm!! Zed Logan wishes he could have that one back! Logan up to his feet and going to the top VERY early in this match! But Vinnie Jobberino is right up there after him- they're battling it out on the top, but Logan seems to be taking a beating... Jobberino has him hooked- SUPERPLEX!!! What a move by Jobberino, but I’ll have to say that Zed Logan’s inexperience and impatience was really showing through there… Jobberino uon his feet again- DOWN with the kneedrop! Covering: No! Only a one count, and after the superplex at that!! Maybe Zed was just trying to prove a POINT by absorbing that move early! And just listen to the fans, Dave: They're just LOVING this!

Dave - How can you BLAME them Rick? This is history in the making here!

Rick - It's Jobberino to his feet first! Now HE’s climbing the turnbuckle!? Jobberino perched up there as Zed Logan slowly gets to his feet. Zed Logan turning around- Suicide dive by Jobberino- He missed!! What was he THINKING?!?! Neither of these men is a high flyer, so WHY all the early high risk attempts?! All I can see is thatthey wanted to put this one away early to make an impression, but it’s been costing them in the opening minutes of the bout. Zed Logan turning- Jobberino flying off the mat with a chop block!

Dave - How can Logan be getting to his feet so quickly after that move? Measuring Jobberino- Falling fist right on the money!

Rick - The guy's incredible!

Dave - Vinnie Jobberino struggling to his feet, not giving Zed Logan much time to catch his breath. He has him in his sights... and DROPS the falling headbutt!

Rick - He's really out to hurt Logan! And it's Vinnie Jobberino using the ropes to pull himself up now... Off the ropes-DOWN with the elbow drop! Logan needs to make a comeback, but that may not be too hard considering the seesaw battle we’ve witnessed so far... Vinnie driving a knee into the spinal area of "Black Thunder"’s back!! Both men are down and look tired! The referee is starting the 10-count: 1..2..3...4…- Vinnie Jobberino finally up to his feet first! Jobberino pulling him to his feet and setting him up... Piledriver!
And Vinnie's not wasting any time at all as he’s up quick and going for a Boston crab! Zed Logan somehow slips out of it! Vinnie Jobberino rolls Zed Logan onto his stomach- Folds his legs up- STF there by Vinnie Jobberino!

Dave - Nice work there by Jobberino! But "Black Thunder" with a hand free- GRABS that bottom rope and the hold is broken!

Rick - They've been through a lot here tonight: And the fans are loving every minute of it! Both men slow to their feet here... Both getting their footing around the same time…

Dave - Zed Logan taking a second to catch his breath. "Black Thunder" now applying a reverse chin lock on Vinnie Jobberino trying to wear him down. Zed Logan really leaning on Vinnie Jobberino so that he's carrying all the weight. Jobberino now struggling free... Vinnie shaking it off... Zed Logan- SHOVES him flat on the mat! "Black Thunder" slides onto Vinnie Jobberino and hooks the leg! 1... 2!... Kickout by Jobberino!

Rick - I thought he had him that time for SURE!

Dave - But Vinnie Jobberino still has some fight left in him from the looks of it... "Black Thunder" is quick to his feet, keeping Vinnie Jobberino in his sights. He measures him up... falling headbutt! "Black Thunder" is in pain from that one, but Vinnie took the brunt of that…

Rick - You have to wonder what's going through their minds at a time like this Dave- Both of these newcomers to the PW want to do what they can to build a following and doing it early is key. And from what I’ve seen so far, they’re both going to be well accepted by the fans… Jobberino is up now on top of Zed Logan- he's all over him with a series of closed fists and forearms! "Black Thunder" tries desperately to get out of there, but it's no use! He has NOWHERE to run! Vinnie Jobberino on top of "Black Thunder" and he's just beatin' the HECK out of him! Referee Adam Kent sees a closed fist and pulls Vinnie Jobberino off of him. But Vinnie Jobberino lands a quick kneedrop to add to the damage! Jobberino to his feet. He measures Zed Logan up... falling headbutt!

Dave - I could hear their heads cracking together like the sound of coconuts from here! Vinnie Jobberino to his feet first and he has "Black Thunder" by the ankle- Spinning toe hold applied! Zed Logan struggling! Jobberino drops the elbow! Vinnie Jobberino moving back to his feet.

Rick - Logan slow to his feet... "Black Thunder" with lightning speed- DOWN across the shoulder of Vinnie with a vicious axe kick! Vinnie on the mat and he's hurting from that move... Where in the heck did Zed Logan get the energy for THAT one?! Logan with Vinnie’s legs... going for the figure four- NO! Vinnie Jobberino just made it to the ropes and the referee is calling for the break.

Dave - Vinnie Jobberino- lands the right to the forehead of Logan and Zed looks stunned from that one! Vinnie on his feet- stomping away at Zed Logan!! Vinnie Jobberino pulling Logan up- Zed hooks him down into a small package! 1... 2... reversal by Vinnie! 1... 2... Zed Logan rolls it over again!! OH! They're tangled in the ropes... Adam Kent calling for a break. What an exciting match we’re seeing!

Rick - Both men now getting to their feet... And it's "Black Thunder" up first. He has Vinnie- sends him to the ropes- Sleeperhold by "Black Thunder"! Looks like Jobberino may be off to dreamland- NO! Vinnie Jobberino with a back elbow just in time that caught Zed right in the kisser and sent him to the canvas! Vinnie crawling over to Zed Logan... Covering: 1- No, Zed just rolls him off. The "Black Thunder" to his feet- Waistlock applied- TEARS Vinnie off the mat- DOWN in a German suplex! What an INCREDIBLE strength demonstration!

Dave - Zed Logan can lift with the best of 'em, I'm sure. Zed Logan now, going for a Boston crab!

Rick - He's not gonna get it on Vinnie is just too quick!

Dave - Spoke too soon Rick! Zed Logan sitting down on it... And Vinnie Jobberino tapping out!! Zed Logan finishes him off. Wow!

[The bell rings.]

Pattera - Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... Zeeed “Blaaaaaack Thunder” Looogaaan!!!

Dave - We'll be back after this short break!

[Do you have Athletes foot? How about Coal Miners foot? Do you have any kind of foot at all? If so we can help, we're the nice people at Foot-be-Gone. Gets rid of those nasty feet no one really wants!!]

Dave - We’re back on Throttle folks, and what you missed during the break was that for some strange reason, a security team made its way to ringside and brought Zed Logan back up the ramp and into the lockerroom area of the building, but why this would be, I can only speculate… Just a minute now… I’m getting word that he was taken off for security reasons, because we’re going to be seeing a spot with TSK’s Dave Carson in just a few moments!

Rick - With all that went down at Zero Tolerance, I can’t blame them for wanting to keep people away from “Hellraiser”, Dave: The guy’s a marked man, and you can bet that Zed would be MORE than happy if he could just have a good crack at Carson, whether the man is injured as a result of that scaffold match fall, or not!

Dave - And it looks like we have Tommy Glide in the middle of the ring for a special interview with one half of the Planet Wrestling Tag Team Champions…. Tommy, the stage is yours…

Tommy - Thank you Dave Deyo, and WELCOME all of you Planet Wrestling fans!!!  After ALL of the excitement at "Zero Tolerance", it is quite evident that one man took it upon himself to HEAT things up. Please join me in welcoming......

[The song "Desire" by Ozzy Osbourne errupts through the speakers as the Planet Dome ROARS with deafening boos.]

Tommy - .......from TSK, "Hellraiser" DAVE CARRRRRSSSSSOOOONNNNN!!!!!!

[Various signs from "Hellraiser's Mama's name is Johnny" to "NX Was Robbed" to "We Are Not Worthy" fill the stands. The fans continue to rain down their displeasure as the curtains part, but no "Hellraiser" Dave Carson is in attendance.]

Rick - He FLAKED, I tell you.  I knew that "Hellraiser" was going to be a gutless wonder tonight since almost EVERYONE in the Planet Wrestling is gunning for him, for one reason or another.  He probably saw "Black Thunder" heading to the back, and KNEW he would get his ass beat because of what he did to Zack Logan…

Dave -  You may be right, Rick.  But I don't know if I would be calling him "a gutless wonder", since you know he has NO problems and NO reservations about putting your lights out, if not your career.

Rick -  Uh...er.....you might be right. I DID speak a little hasty.  Do you think he might have heard it?

Dave -  I don't know, but I guess you'll find out in due time.

Rick -  Damn, I was afraid you might say something like that. Maybe I should just hightail it out of here, just in case.

[Rick Richards puts down his headset and climbs over the security railing as he starts walking up the aisle towards the back with the concession stands.  Halfway up the stairs, Richards stops and starts running back for the ring.  Having just emerged onto the stairs stands "Hellraiser" Dave Carson, dressed in his TSK leather jacket, faded blue jeans, motorcycle boots and sunglasses, as well as the bandage across his forehead and the soft neck brace.  The spot light lands on "Hellraiser" who looks over the crowd, and then gives a double arm "Italian salute" that raises the decibels of taunts and jeers from the crowd.]

Dave -  Well it looks like Rick just found "Hellraiser", and I guess we'll see if the champ heard any of his remarks.

[After making his way down the steps and over the security railing, "Hellraiser" enters the ring and walks around slowly once, studying the fans.  Stopping at one over-zealous youth who continues to scream at Carson, the champion eyes the kid and spits on him.]

Tommy -  HEY, HEY!!!!  No need for that, Dave.  We just wanted to call you out.....

[Carson turns and takes off his sunglasses, the purple welt still covering his cheek, but his eyes burning through Tommy Glide.]

Tommy -  Ummmm.......wrong choice of words.  I mean ASK you out here to find out what is going on with you and "Livewire" since it seems like both of you took quite a beating, yet still remained victorious at
"Zero Tolerance".

["Hellraiser" grabs the mic from the reporter and is about to speak, when the audience errupts again with their hatred for the wrestler.]

Carson -  SHUT UP YOU BUNCH OF MAGGOTS!!!!!!!

[The audience's level raises in volume, and Carson's scowl changes to a wry smile.]

Carson -  That's what I LOVE about all of you fans....... I know JUST what buttons to push and how to REALLY get under your skin.  And most of all, with one of your beloved tag teams....The Pansy Pukes.

[The fans go into a chant of "NX" and Carson looks around the crowd as Tommy Glide goes to get another microphone.]

Carson -  Yep, all of you sorry-ass pissants know how to cheer on a loser.  And what better bunch of LOSERS than the entire NX DWEEBS.

Tommy -  But "Hellraiser", what is the condition of "Livewire"?  He REALLY took a nasty spill off of that scaffold and landing on "Ravenger", and from the last time we heard from you, his leg was in a cast.

Carson -  Gil is doing just fine.  True, he's a bit preoccupied with all of the....PERSONAL attention he's receiving from the Bombshells, but can you BLAME him?

Tommy -  And what about you?  I see you still have that bandage on your forehead and a neckbrace.  What have the doctors said about your condition?

Carson -  Who the <BLEEP> do you think you are, Tommy?  Now if I AM injured, do you think I'm going to tell YOU, or the REST of the wooses out there so you can TRY to take advantage of it?

Tommy -  No, no.  That's not my intentions at all.  It's just that we, the fans, would like to know if you'll be able to take on competitors such as the NX, such as their newcomer, Zed "Black Thunder" Logan.  Or even another person who's attention you caught right off the bat, Esquire.

[Hellraier]:  WHO?

Tommy -  Uh, you do remember Esquire?  You and he share the same finishing maneuver.

Carson -  OH!!!!  PIZZA MAN!!!  I didn't know who you were talking about. What about the IMBECILE?

Tommy -  You HAVE heard he is challenging you to a FINISHING maneuver vs. FINISHING maneuver match where the loser relinquishes the use of that maneuver ever again.

Carson -  EXCUSE ME???!!!

["Hellraiser" turns toward the camera, the large bruise on his cheek beginning to blend in with the color of his face that is becoming more and more red.]

Carson -  Now LISTEN UP, you PATHETIC PIECE OF GOAT SCROTUM!!!!!! You think YOU can just WALTZ your ass into THIS federation and begin to DICTATE who can use WHAT maneuvers?  You have NO idea of WHO you are talking to.  I have used the Super Brain Buster as a finishing maneuver since I started this sport.  While I may use OTHER maneuvers to finish people off, since I do NOT rely on only one hold, THAT IS MY CREATION TO DO WITH WHAT I WILL!!!!!!

Tommy -  Then does that mean you are going to accept his challenge?

Carson -  SHUT THE <BLEEP> UP WINDBAG!!!!!    PIZZA PUKE!!!!  It will be YOU changing your finishing maneuver or I WILL  finish your CAREER!!!!!!  I don't mean some pathetic "loser quits and runs away to another federation" type match.  That would be making things MUCH too easy for you and the rest of the SCUMBAGS out there to hatch some sort of plot to eliminate me from PW.  And believe me, I enjoy getting the higher pay as being one half of the Tag Team Champions MUCH TOO MUCH than to scrape and claw my way up the rankings like the rest of you morons.  Why else do you think NX is SOOOO  desperate to get their hands on us once again?  Because THIS is where you get paid the top dollar.

Tommy -  Uh....then you have a different idea of a match, Dave?

[Hellraiser turns and steps toward Glide, who then in turn takes 5 steps back.  Hellraiser stops and turns back toward the camera.]

Carson -  THIS is the way how it will go you MISERABLE MISCARRIAGE!!!!!  YOU want me?!  If so, it will be at the NEXT Pay Per View, but  with THIS stipulation........ The match will with NO SUPER BRAINBUSTER for EITHER of us!!!!!

Tommy -  No Super Brainbuster?!  But why?

Carson -  BECAUSE I SAID SO!!!!  Instead.......we will wrestle and you will have to come up with some OTHER idea for a finishing maneuver. We'll see JUST how badly you need to use the Super Brain Buster as your maneuver.  Since you are NOTHING but a TWO-BIT THIEF who thinks he can just blatantly STEAL maneuvers, why don't we see if you can THINK your way out of this one and come up with some finisher that NONE of TSK USES!!!!!!

[Hellraiser begins to reach behind his neck, pulling off the velcro that holds the neckbrace in place.]

Carson -  The Barbarian Bitches and the Teen Angels have ALL found out what it is like to MESS WITH ME!!!!!!   PEPPERONI PIZZA PUKE!!!!!!!   There is HELL to pay, AND I'M HERE TO-

[Before Carson can finish, a fan in the front row (who he’d spit on earlier) drills his drink at him. Liquid explodes from the paper cup on impact, and Carson looks like he's reached his boiling point. He drops the microphone and proceeds over toward the ring ropes, getting up on the bottom one, holding onto the top one as he leans over and barks something at the fan who threw the cup. The fans start to cheer at the actions of the brave fan as security rushes to show him out/ protect him, but the camera shot cuts to the opposite side of the ring, where we catch a glimpse of a speedy Esquire with a long-handled weapon of some sort in his hands, sliding into the ring.]

Dave - Dear LORD! A fan is being escorted out of the building for throwing a drink into the ring, but-

[Esquire strikes Carson with the weapon sharply, right over the shoulder. Carson straightens up reflexivly, them falls to his knees.]

Rick - OH! Esquire attacking "Hellraiser" with a... a CROQUET mallet!! HO!!! And another shot to Carson's ribs! Esquire pulling Dave Carson up- Irish whips him into the corner!!

Dave - The fans are on their feet here and going CRAZY!! Dave Carson taking the beating of a LIFETIME here at the hands of an ENRAGED Esquire! He's bashing the life out of Carson! Now choking the tag champ with the long handle of that mallet!! The fans are on their feet and going ballistic for Esquire!

Rick - I don’t think they like Esquire so much as they like to see “Hellraiser” get his @$$ handed to him, Dave, but either way, it’s Esquire beating on him like a man possessed!! OH! And did you see that shot to the ribs there by Esquire with the end of that long handle?! Ha HA!

Dave - Finally some officials and a security team mobilizing toward ringside to put a stop to this carnage!! They’re in the ring and trying desperately to pull Esquire off of Carson, but Esquire just batting them away! Someone managed to get that mallet away from him- OH! And a solid right hand to the forehead just cut Dave Carson open!

Rick - It’s not much of a cut, Dave, but it’s up near the hairline, and we know how that scalp wounds are some of the worst for bleeding!

Dave - Good call Rick: Carson’s face is being smeared with blood by Esquire as they’re STILL trying to tear the man off of him and finally it looks like they’re getting a little distance between these two men!

Rick -Well security escorting Esquire out of the ring and to the back, but the question on EVERYONE’S mind right now has to be “where were the rest of TSK”?

Dave - Your guess is as good as anyone’s Rick, I’m sure. But you’re absolutely right: aside from the fact that Gil Crowley would appear to be injured, Watts and the newly crowned World  Heavyweight Champion, Hayes very conspicuous in their absence after that ugly incident… Esquire being escorted toward the back by a pack of security and PW referees … What the heck it this now?

Rick - Esquire's trying to get the crew holding him back to "get their filthy hands off of him" from the sounds of it, Dave. It would figure- just when the fans figure they may be able to peg him as a hero for having taught “Hellraiser” a lesson or two, he pulls something like this…

Dave - I know what you mean, Rick… Esquire now past the curtain and being led back to his dressing room, and TSK still nowhere to be see- Holy CRAP!!

[From out of nowhere into the shot rushes Xander, spear tackling the now unshielded Esquire (the security had backed off him a bit at his request). Straddling him, he begins to hit Esquire repeatedly in the  face with a series of punches.]

Dave - Dear LORD! That’s XANDER: Esquire’s opponent that he’ll be facing later tonight!

Rick - Looks to me, Dave, like Xander just couldn’t wait and decided to start things here early! And is he EVER, as he’s just HAMMERING away at Esquire!

Dave - Security rushing him and pulling him off of Esquire and with more space to move around back there, they’re having a lot more succes this time than they were having a few minutes ago… Xander being hauled off down the hall now by some of te security team and Esquire’s just left lying there… My goodness what a crazy night this has been so far.

Rick - But what a bombshell challenge that Carson issued there to Esquire! A match where the Super Brain Buster finishing hold is banned! Now THAT could be interesting! And with “Hellraiser” now having been escorted out of the ring and to the back, believe it or not, there’s more surprises still to come!

Dave - You’re not kidding, Rick! But let me make a count here so far… it’s been three… no, FOUR newcomers so far that have done battle in the squared circle here tonight! And the burning question on everyone’s mind right now is who are we going to be seeing in our next match? Another newcomer, which would seem to be in accordance with the general trend of the night, or will it be someone who’s already in the federation playing head games with Vince Parker by issuing this anonymous challenge? We’ll be finding out soon enough, as up next we have “Invincible” Vince Parker... But we’re at a bit of a loss here, because as I said, we have no idea who his opponent is!

Rick - And neither does Parker. But you saw the tape: he wasn’t fazed a bit by that anonymous challenge! You have to give him credit, it takes some guts to accept a challenge from someone you may not even seen yet. In any case, let’s turn things over to Jim Pattera in the ring.

*** “Invincible” Vince Parker vs. a mystery opponent ***

Pattera - The following match is scheduled for one fall...

[The Theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey begins to play.]

Pattera - Now entering the arena, hailing from New York, NY... Measuring 6’7” and weighing in at 269 pounds... Viiinceee Paaarkeeer!!!!

[Vince Parker makes his way to the ring. He looks into an aisle-side camera and shrugs, smiling indifferently.]

Dave - I’m surprised at how unperturbed this man is. He has no idea who’s going to walk down that aisle, and he looks like he doesn’t care! Vince Parker is fearless, Rick!

Rick - I told you. Whoever issued the challenge, he hasn’t succeeded in intimidating “Invincible” Vince... Despite the fact that HE was the one who was challenged, he obviously even went so far as to be the first man to walk out here for this match… I can’t WAIT to see who he’s up against, Dave…

[The lights suddenly extinguish, plunging the arena into total darkness. The crowd is rustling uncertainly.]

Dave - What is this?

Rick - Did we just have a power failure?

Dave - What a lousy time for the power to go out!

Rick - Oh CRAP! Could it be the Dehumanizer again?!

[With a crackle of static, the Planet-Tron comes alive. All eyes turn to watch as a shower of gold glitter sprinkles across the giant screen. The glitter swirls and converges in the center of the screen, forming a gold maple leaf. The opening beats of “Captive Heart (Remixed)” pound through the air, and the maple leaf throbs in rhythm. A silver line traces across the pounding leaf, jolting with the drum beat like an EKG reading. The haunting vocals of Selena fill the arena: “My captive heart... My willing soul...” Suddenly the maple leaf explodes with a BANG and the lights come on once again. The fans are on their feet and beginning to warm up as they realize that the aisle is no longer empty…. Standing in the aisle are a muscular man and an athletic-looking woman, wearing matching black singlets edged with gold and decorated on the hips and over the left breast with the distinctive gold leaf-and-EKG insignia. “Captive Heart” continues to play: “I see him walkin’... I face the danger... I hear his voice... and my heart stops...” The woman flicks her long, wavy blonde hair and puts one hand on her hip; in her other hand, she carries a gold-plated megaphone. The man scans the crowd, a cocky smile on his face; camera flashes glint brightly on his mirrored sunglasses.]

Dave - Who the hell is that?

Rick - What are you asking ME for? I don’t know WHERE we’re pulling the guys from tonight’s show in from! But look at Vince Parker--his eyes are glued on those two! Whatever he expected from this challenger, I think he’s been taken by surprise!

[The blonde woman hands the megaphone over to the man. The man grins as he draws the unit to his face. “Captive Heart” fades slowly to quiet.]

Man - Ladies and gentlemen, and all the thousands in attendance tonight in the Planet Dome... You are witnessing history! Years after it happened, people still remember vividly where they were and what they were doing when John F. Kennedy was shot... when the first videos from the moon were broadcast... when Elvis was found dead... And years from now, all of you will remember the day you sat in your overpriced, unsanitary seats and watched the future of Planet Wrestling walk down this very aisle!

[Jim Pattera, in the ring, begins to raise his microphone to introduce the newcomer. The man holds up his hand and shakes a finger at him.]

Man - Hold it, Pattera, don’t say a word. I’ll do it myself.

[The man grins, and he and the woman begin striding toward the ring.]

Man - Now coming down the aisle, hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada... At six feet of physical perfection... Weighing in at 245 pounds of pure technical mastery and electric excitement... Accompanied to the ring by the beautiful, the deadly, the showstopper herself, VALENTINE...

[Valentine smiles widely and waves, eliciting a positive response from the crowd.]

Man - ...It is with great personal pride that I introduce the challenger, the greatest technical wrestler in the world today, definitely better than anybody else you’ll see here tonight... I am the “Heartbeat of Canada”... KEN JANSEN!

[The crowd is roaring in excitement. Ken Jansen and Valentine begin climbing the steps onto the ring apron. Vince Parker is standing in the far corner of the ring, his arms folded in front of him, unimpressed.]

Ken Jansen - The mystery is solved--I’m the man who challenged Vince Parker. I could have challenged anybody in the federation, and to be perfectly honest, I’m a pretty tough challenge for anybody... But tonight, I’m here to make a point. You see, I looked over the roster and found this man’s name near the bottom. “Invincible” Vince Parker, he calls himself. Invincible! But on closer inspection, I discovered that this man, this invincible wrestling cyborg, has lost every match in recent memory! He’s a jobber, folks. He’s a jobber who calls himself “Invincible”. That kind of gall opened my eyes and made me see that this entire promotion is overrun with overhyped, undertalented bush leaguers!

[The crowd’s reaction begins to turn more and more toward boos.]

Rick - Uh oh.

Dave - This isn’t good.

Ken Jansen - So I made a decision. I decided to come here tonight and make an example of “Invincible” Vince Parker. As I take this man apart, piece by piece, so will I do to the rest of the so-called opposition in Planet Wrestling. When I knock Parker’s head in, I’m knocking in the collective empty skulls of every idiot in the locker room! You’re just the first of many, Parker--I promise!

Dave - Parker’s pissed right off! And who can blame him?

Rick - You want to talk about gall, how about this Jansen character? He’s not going to make it easy on himself by insulting the whole roster!

Ken Jansen - Now, I’m going to take off my sunglasses and put away my megaphone, and then we can ring the bell and get this business started...

Rick - Look at the arrogance of Jansen, turning his back to Parker--

Dave - GOOD LORD! Parker didn’t wait, he rushed right into Jansen in the corner! Vince is pounding on the so-called “Heartbeat of Canada”, and Jansen has nowhere to go! Valentine is already getting involved, and referee Danny Dickson is trying to get her off the apron!

[The bell rings and the match officially begins.]

Rick - Well, there’s the bell, but this match is already underway. Parker is overpowering Jansen with a flurry of fists. Now he takes Jansen by the arm and heaves him with an Irish whip into the opposite corner! Jansen hit the turnbuckles hard! Parker charges right in and crushes Jansen again! So much for Jansen’s grand entrance!

Dave - It looks more like Vince is making an example of Ken Jansen! This is what happens to people who talk big and can’t back it up!

Rick - YEAH! No WONDER I’d never heard of this guy! Parker grabs a handful of Jansen’s hair and drags him to the center of the ring... He winds up for a big roundhouse right- NO! Jansen stops him with a boot to the midsection. Jansen wraps his arms around Vince’s waist- belly-to-belly suplex! Down goes Parker! Ken gets to his feet and quickly drops a leg across Parker’s head. “Invincible” Vince rolls away and uses the ropes to pull himself to his feet... He looks mad!

Dave - Jansen is taunting him now- pointing at that maple leaf symbol on his tights. Parker charges at him with a lariat, but Jansen ducks it- and Vince hits the corner chest-first! Now Jansen is all over Parker!

Rick - He’s turned things around, but how long can he keep it up? Jansen climbs to the second turnbuckle and hooks Parker’s head from behind- Vince is clawing at Ken’s arms to break up the hold, but Jansen drops backward, sending Vince down with an inverted DDT! Jansen is back on his feet- and posing?! The crowd is BOOING this man mercilessly! Parker is slow getting to his feet, and Jansen capitalizes with a low dropkick to Vince’s head!

Dave - Parker goes down again. Ken grabs him by the hair and hauls him to his feet. He hooks him in a front facelock- but Parker grabs him around the midsection and lifts him in the air! It’s a crushing bearhug by “Invincible” Vince Parker! He’s trying to squeeze the arrogance out of Ken Jansen!

Rick - He’ll have to squeeze pretty hard to do that... Jansen is writhing in that hold! Parker is gritting his teeth in exertion as he tightens the bearhug. Referee Dickson is asking Jansen if he wants to give up... Jansen slaps Dickson away!

Dave - Valentine has jumped on the apron, and Dickson is trying to send her down again. WAIT! Ken just stuck a finger in Parker’s eye! What a cheap move! The referee was distracted and he didn’t even see it! Parker drops Jansen and backs into a corner, blinded! Now Jansen runs in- SPEARS him with a dropkick against the turnbuckle! Vince goes down, Jansen drops for the cover- but the referee is still yelling at Valentine! Jansen gets up and storms over to the referee, admonishing him.

Rick - Vince is back on his feet- he charges at Jansen with a clothesline from hell! Jansen falls through the ropes and lands in the ringside area. Vince climbs between the ropes and stands on the apron. Even though he’s half blind from that cheap eye poke, he can see that he’s back in control! Vince signals for his signature move, the Victory- if he can hit that jumping double axhandle, it’ll be all over for Jansen!

Dave - Ken Jansen might just have crawl back to wherever he came from after this! WAIT! Valentine on the apron just tossed the megaphone over referee Dickson’s head; Dickson turns briefly to watch where the megaphone landed- and Valentine delivers a superkick to the side of Parker’s head! Parker crumples and falls to the floor!

Rick - Dickson turns his attention back to the match. Jansen is up again, and he drags Parker to his feet. Ken is motioning for Valentine to grab a folding chair. Valentine lays the steel chair on the floor; Ken sets Vince up- OH MY GOD! He hits a VICIOUS piledriver on top of the chair!

Dave - Vince is out! There’s no way he can get up after that move!

Rick - Ken Jansen is hauling “Invincible” Vince back into the ring. The “Heartbeat of Canada” goes to the top rope- flying elbowdrop onto Parker! Ken covers- 1... 2... Thr-- NO! Parker kicks out, barely! I thought this match was over!

Dave - Jansen gets to his feet. Now he hooks up Parker’s legs and turns him over in an elevated Boston Crab. Ken has been focusing on Vince’s neck and back, and this is going to punish the New Yorker even more!

Rick - Vince is scratching at the canvas, trying to pull himself toward the ropes. He’s within inches- he grabbed the bottom rope! Referee Dickson makes Jansen release the hold. Ken steps back, but goes right in again with a series of stomps to Parker’s spine. Listen to this crowd; they’re really letting Jansen have it! Jansen looks out at the fans and tells them to shut up!

Dave - The fans may be getting to him; but he doesn’t want to get off his focus when he’s in control! Jansen pulls Vince up by the hair, goes behind, and applies an abdominal stretch. He’s twisting Parker’s back in knots! The referee asks Parker if he wants to stop the match- Vince says no! Jansen puts on the pressure, and Parker is groaning in agony! Dickson asks Vince again, but Vince won’t give up! He’s really showing his resilience here!

Rick - And Jansen is showing that he has the tools to back up his words! But Parker is fighting out of the hold- Ken tries to lock it tighter- Vince breaks out with a hiptoss! What a comeback! Ken runs into the ropes, comes back with a lariat, but Parker dodges it. Jansen bounces off the opposite ropes, and Parker lifts him up in an overhead press! He has Jansen suspended over eight feet in the air! Jansen struggles out of Vince’s hands, drops behind him, and BLASTS him with a low blow! The referee was out of position and didn’t see it! Parker is doubled over, clutching his nether regions!

Dave - Jansen runs against the ropes, comes back- OH MY GOD! He catches Vince with an over-the-shoulder bulldog! Parker is down, choking after that move- I think he’s out of his senses! But Ken isn’t going for the pin! He goes to the ropes and calls for Valentine to pass him the megaphone!

Ken Jansen - [Breathing heavily] You see? I told you it would be this way! I came, I dominated, and all that’s left is to finish off this idiot!

Rick - He’s wasting a lot of time in there! Parker could recover any time!

Ken Jansen - [Climbing the turnbuckles] The symbolism of all this is so thick, you could smother in it! As I climb these turnbuckles, so am I climbing to the very top of this federation... And as I hit my final move and destroy this dirty, rotten man below me, so will I destroy anybody else who gets in my way! You see, when a man of my stature jumps into a stinking, stagnant pond like Planet Wrestling, I’m bound to make some big waves... And just like “Invincible” Vince Parker down there, all the other amateurs crawling around here will find out exactly what the “Heartbeat of Canada” is all about! And I promise you--it’ll be a heartstopper!

Dave - Parker has rolled over into his back now, but he’s still stunned from that neckbreaker-like move! Jansen on the top rope raises his arms above his head- he jumps off!

Rick - GOOD GOD! He hits a flying double-foot stomp directly to Parker’s chest! Vince is writhing on the mat! He can’t breathe! His ribs could be shattered!

Dave - Jansen stands up and arrogantly covers Parker with one foot! Dickson counts: 1... 2... 3! It’s over!

Pattera - Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... The “Heartbeat of Canada”... Keeen Jaaanseeen!!!

[The bell rings, signaling the end of the match. “Captive Heart” begins to play once again. Jansen raises the megaphone to his lips.]

Ken Jansen - Other men live for the hype--I am the man who LIVES UP to the hype! So hide your champions, Planet Wrestling, because I’m coming after them...

[Jansen and Valentine walk off toward the back to a chorus of booing fans. The shot cuts to the announcer's table.]

Dave - Well, despite an impressive victory, I think it's fair to say that Mr. Jansen won't be gaining much popularity with the fans any time soon. Still, he put parker through the ringer and as a result, I have a sinking feeling that we'll be seeing a lot more of Ken Jansen in the future.

Rick - Unfortunately enough, Dave, I have to agree with you: Jansen showed a lot of skill in that match, and I'm betting that his defeat of "Invincible" Vince was nothing more than a sneak preview of wht we'll be seeing from Jansen down the road. Keep an eye out for this guy folks, but you may want to turn the volume down when you see him on screen... But speaking of keeping an eye out, Esquire had better be keeping an eye out for his opponent in this next match, especially after that attack in the back that we witnessed earlier tonight!

Dave - You're not kidding, Rick! With the attack that Xander made on Esquire earlier, you can tell that the newcomer is ready and raring to go. But if I were Esquire, I’d ALSO be on the lookout for Dave Carson: though it would appear that the rest of TSK didn’t make it tonight, as we didn’t see them earlier, Esquire may want to be looking over his shoulder tonight and in the weeks to come.

Rick - Still, with all this going on, you have to have a bit of respect for Xander just getting himself involved in something so dangerous right from the get-go. We’ll see if Esquire has the last laugh tonight or not after Xander’s attack earlier in the show… So without further delay, let’s get to Jim Pattera!

[The bell rings.]

Pattera - This next match is a scheduled for one fall......

["Why I'm Here" by Oleander plays throughout the arena]

Pattera -On his way down the Aisle from Burkittsville, Maryland, weighing in at 235 pounds, he is Xaaandeeer!!!

[The lights dim and Xander walks out from behind the curtain. He looks over the crowd, from left to right, then makes his way toward the ring, commenting to the fans as he goes. He arrives in the ring and the lights go back to normal. Xander's music cuts and Beethoven's 5th Symphony starts to play. A sign in the crowd goes up that reads "Esquire will lose!". Esquire, his hair slicked back tightly, with Geeves following at his heels, walks out from behind the curtain and is met by boos…]

Pattera - And his opponent, accompanied by his butler, Geeves, Ladies and Gentlemen, from Chicago, Illinois, he is Esssssssquire!!!

[Esquire ignores the fans as he and Geeves walk to the ring. Esquire takes off his jacket, handing it to Geeves, who folds it across his own arm, letting it hang. Esquire climbs to the apron, as does Geeves. Esquire waits as Geeves holds the top and second rope apart, then steps in between them and into the ring. The bell rings.]

*** Xander Vs Esquire ***

Rick -Xander attacking with a set of jabs to the chest! Esquire trying for some of his own and Xander blocks and applies a standing armbar! But Esquire isn't going to give up to that! Xander off the ropes- WOAH! A flying body scissors by Xander that takes Esquire off his feet!! Xander all over Esquire with a flurry of punches! Esquire somehow manages to push him off!

Dave - Esquire on Xander quick with a body scissors applied! And he's really squeezing it on too! Xander in trouble here if he can't reach the ropes... Aaaaand YES! Xander has the rope and the hold is broken!

Rick - Xander trying to get to his feet- But Esquire drags him right back down! Esquire keeping Xander grounded: a good strategy considering the ability Esquire's shown us that he has on the mat. Now crawling over to Xander. Front facelock applied by Esquire. He's holding it, but Xander getting to his feet- A punch to the ribs by Xander and Esquire releases the hold. Esquire takes a knee and is slow to his feet...

Dave - Esquire sending Xander to the ropes- Esquire misses the clothesline- Xander off the ropes- drop toe hold by sends Xander to the mat face first! Esquire following up with an STF!!... Xander barely gets loose! What do you think of the match so far, Rick?

Rick - Any match with Esquire in it is a good match in my book.

Dave - I don't suppose that this has anything to do with the little Carson-bashing that took place tonight? [He doesn't get an answer.] Esquire now with Xander- hoists him up in a suplex... and down! Esquire drapes his arm over for a cover- 1-2- Xander gets the shoulder up! He's going to have to get better weight distribution than that on Xander if he wants to win this. Esquire crawling to Xander- OH! Esquire with the choke! The ref's counting 1-2-3-4- Esquire releases it- C'MON! Esquire chokeing him AGAIN!

Rick - As long as he breaks it before the 5-count, it's legal. See?

Dave - No doubt about that... but- OH! A rake to the eyes by Xander!

Rick - Hey! He can't do that!

Dave - [sighs.] Xander on his feet- stomping away at Esquire!! Xander just not stopping!!! WAIT: Esquire caught his foot- Leg drag takedown by Esquire!!! Like him or not, you can't argue that Esquire is one heck of a competitor-

Rick - I like hi just fine, thanks.

Dave - That's not what I meant... Esquire on his feet now and off the ropes- Elbow drop- Xander out of the way just in time! Esquire slides onto Xander and hooks the leg! 1... 2!... Kickout by Xander!

Rick - I thought he had him that time for SURE!

Dave - But Xander still has some fight left in him from the looks of it... Esquire driving a knee into the spinal area of Xanders back!!

Rick - Esquire getting to his feet and helping Xander to his feet- Side Russian leg sweep by Esquire! Rolls over onto him- 1-2- No! Only a 2-count. Esquire pushing himself up... And he drops down on Xander with a leg drop right across the throat! Esquire up to his feet first... Xander getting to his feet and Esquire climbing to the top- OH!! Xander just bumped into the ropes and Esquire landed on the top rope HARD!

Dave - He'll be singing soprano after that!

Rick - For some reason Adam Kent is going to let this one go, though I'd say it was pretty obvious that move was intentional... Xander pulling Esquire back to his feet. Esquire with an eye gouge!! Down goes Xander! Esquire shaking the cobwebs loose.... Now with his legs... going for the figure four- OH! Big headbutt to the midsectioon instead!

Dave - Esquire though, looks like he may be running out of gas... as both men now are slow to their feet... And it's Xander up first and bringing Esquire to his feet the hard way- Headbutt by Xander sends Esquire back down to eat the canvas! Xander jumping- Springboard off the top into a dropkick! Wow, what a move that was: where did he get the ENERGY to pull that one off?

Rick - Xander pushing himself up- Esquire HAULS him down with a lunging clothesline! And speaking of energy bursts, where did THAT one come from?!

Dave - You're not kidding! Both men slow to their feet here once again... Both getting their footing around the same time. Esquire now applying a reverse chin lock on Xander trying to wear him down. Esquire really leaning on Xander so that he's carrying all the weight. Xander now struggling... The fans are REALLY getting behind this newcomer here... Xander struggling- and he breaks out of it! Xander shaking it off...

Rick - Both men are on the mat and attempting to get the upper hand! Esquire on top and just WAILING on Xander!!

Dave - Now Xander rolls him over and HE'S landing the punches! Esquire shoves him off! Esquire looks hurt! Xander to his feet and climbing the ropes... Xander on the top! Up and- NO!! Esquire rolled out of the way in lots of time!

Rick - He was just playing possum! Esquire crawling over to Xander... Covering: 1- strong kickout by Xander!! Esquire looks shoked... Xander is moving back to his feet. Xander comes down on Esquire with a double axe handle!! Esquire shaking it off and getting to his feet...

Dave - Xander has Esquire- sends him to the ropes- leapfrog by Xander- Esquire off the ropes- Handspring into a flying headscissors- Huricanrana by Xander!! What a great move!!! The PW rookie REALLY catching Esquire offguard with a spectacular move there... And following up now, it's Xander pulling Esquire up off the mat- OH! And a jab to the face by Esquire stuns Xander!

Rick - Esquire on his feet- off the ropes- BULLDOGS Xander! Esquire following up with a quick front facelock: Esquire showing some real old-school wrestling ability here as he's just wearing Xander down slowly by cutting of the circulation. He's holding it, but Xander getting to his feet- Esquire up with him... Xander struggling for a reversal... Esquire turning the move around- Neckbreaker drop! Nice one! Like him or not, you can't argue that Esquire is one heck of a competitor. Esquire to his feet first and he has Xander by the ankle- Spinning toe hold applied! Xander struggling! Esquire drops the elbow!

Dave - Covering: No! Only a one count. Esquire crawling to Xander- OH! Esquire with the choke again! The ref's counting 1-2-3-4- Esquire releases it in time- and again!! Esquire chokeing him AGAIN!

Rick - Esquire breaks and goes for the cover- 1-2- Xander gets the shoulder up.

Dave - He's going to have to hook the leg or something- this newcomer Xander isn't going to take a fall very easily... Front facelock applied by Esquire. He's holding it, but Xander getting to his feet- A punch to the ribs by Xander and Esquire releases the hold and down he goes.

Rick - Xander is trying to pull Esquire back to his feet. Esquire with an eye gouge!! Down goes Xander! Esquire scraping Xander's body off the canvas- Setting him up for a side Russian legsweep- OH! He swept Xander FORWARD and flattened his face with it! Check the boy's nose, ref: he may not HAVE one after that move!

Dave - Esquire now pulling Xander up bythe back of the tights- OH! What a blow to the kidney! Those ones are painful folks! And still with the tights- reels him in and into a wiastlock- Wait! It's Xander getting out and with the go-behind! And now Esquire does the same! Reversed again by Xander!!! Xander lifts him off the mat, spins- GERMAN SUPLEX, and he holds it: 1... 2... Thr- OH dear Lord! So VERY close to the Three-count, but referee Adam Kent is assuring everyone that it was closer to two and a half, though it looked closer than that to me! Xander on his feet- stomping away at Esquire!! Now- Drops the falling fist and hits his mark! Xander on the warpath here as he pulls Esquire up- sccops him up aaaaand slams him down into the middle of the ring! This kid has potential, folks, let me tell you! Xander going to the top... He's up somersault- LANDS the senton backsplash!! The crowd here is going nuts! Xander... He's going to the opposite corner this time and he's on the first rope to go to the top! Leaps- springs- SPLIT-LEGGED MOONSAULT- OH!!! And Esquire got the knees up!

Rick - I saw that one coming, Dave: A typical rookie mistake there by Xander in just not knowing when to quit. That split-leg moonsault may have caught the attention of the fans, but it was one high-risk move too many for the PW rookie. Esquire not wasting any time getting to his feet to do what he does best either, and that's capitalize... He measures Xander up... falling headbutt!  Esquire to his feet and pulling him up- Irish whip to the corner! Follows him in there slowly... Now Esquire hoisting him up on the top rope and going up there with him- lifting aaand THERE it is: Money Talks, that patented top rope brainbuster of his! Esquire making Adam Kent's work REALLY easy with that move as he gets the three count and picks up the victory.

[The bell rings. Beethoven's 5th Symphony plays...]

Pattera - Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... Esquuuiiireee!!!

Dave - Well, despite the loss in his first PW showing, you have to give it out to Xander who REALLY gave Esquire quite a run there, with some great moves. The rookie showed a lot of potential and may be yet another of the ones to watch that we’ve been seeing on this edition of Throttle.

Rick - I tell ya’ Dave, I’m not quite sure WHO the Gibbs have doing their recruiting for them, but whoever it is, they’re pulling some great wrestlers in from places that I didn’t even know existed! I keep pretty up to date with a lot of the more prominent independents out there, but I’d never even HEARD of any of these guys, yet they appear to be some great prospects for the federation.

Dave - Esquire now making his way toward the back with Geeves… I’m betting that the fans will be eagerly anticipating his answer to Dave Carson’s challen-

[Suddenly, there’s a cloud of smoke that explodes from the top of the ramp that swallows up Geeves and Esquire.]

Rick - Holy CRAP!

Dave - I’m not quite sure what’s going on here ladies and gentlemen, maybe a pyrotechnic failure or-

Rick - Pyrotechnic failure NOTHING! We’ve seen this before at E-WCW’s Kill ‘Em All PPV, Dave! It HAS to be Smokin John Hayes!

[The smoke begins to dissipate. Standing there on the ramp, we first see two of the Smokin Bombshells: Jugs and Legs. Each clutches a metal pipe.]

Dave - My Lord! I think you’re right, because there’s the Smokin Bombshells! But where are Esquire and Geeves?

Rick - I’m not sure……

[The smoke clears more, and we see that both Esquire and Geeves are laid out on the ramp.]

Rick - There they are! The Bombshells must have knocked them out!!… At least I THINK it’s Esquire and Geeves: I can’t be positive because for SOME reason, they’re wearing wrestling masks IDENTICAL to that of former E-WCW Heavyweight champ Absolute Zero!…

[From out of the crowd and up onto the ramp come Smokin John Hayes and “The Natural” Lawrence Watts, followed by “Hellraiser” Dave Carson, who appears more injured than he did when he last made his way toward the ring due to a curled posture.]

Dave - Oh NO! It IS Smokin John and TSK!! The champ and Watts making a bee line toward the fallen Esquire and Geeves, and now they’re DRAGGING their unconscious bodies toward the ringside area!!

Rick - I’m outta’ here!

[An audible thud is heard, presumably the sound of Rick Richards taking off his headseat and putting it down on the announcer’s table.]

Dave - Well, my colleague has once again abandoned me and fled into the crowd, but TSK still on their way to ringside with Esquire and his butler! Watts now leaving Esquire and proceeding toward the ring- he’s going underneath it- And he’s getting out a table ladies and gentlemen!! This could get ugly REAL quick! Carson over near Esquire now and kicking the man in the ribs while he’s out cold! Esquire COMPLETELY unable to defend himself here! Watts now setting up the table and Hayes bringing the limp body of Esquire’s butler Geeves over to it… Carson now looking away from Esquire and directing traffic here as he looks over his shoulder toward the curtain… probably for security, I can’t be certain… Smokin John Hayes now setting Geeves up for a suplex and Watts going under the ring for another table! Hayes is going to SUPLEX the defenseless and innocent Geeves through that table! Hooks him- up- DEAR LORD!!! He just performed a BRAINBUSTER on Geeves through that table!!!! Geeves on the floor and lying there completely motionless!! Somebody call an ambulance! Watts setting up a second table now and TSK isn’t done yet!! Hayes scraping the body of Esquire up off the floor and getting ready to send him head-first through that second table! But WAIT!!! Here comes security! Thank GOODNESS!! There’s about 15 or twenty men in PW security apparel here at ringside now that are separating TSK from Esquire and the DECIMATED Geeves… Talk about the cavalry arriving on the scene JUST in time! And though things are calming down here slowly but surely, I still can’t believe that we have to go to commercial! Folks, stay with us: we'll be back after this short break!

[Need a crime started for you? Call Crime Starters at 1-555-555-THUG. That's 1-555-555-8484. Crime Starters. We put the "organized" in organized crime.]

Dave - We're back folks, with me once again is Rick Richards, and what a scene we just witnessed…

Rick - Things are under control again, but let me assure eveyone that in case you’re just joining us, that pure chaos reigned supreme here in the Planet Dome just moments ago.

[The shot of the announcer’s table cuts to a replay of Hayes performing the brainbuster on Geeves, punching him through the wooden table.]

Rick - It looks like TSK got a little revenge after Esquire’s attack on “Hellraiser” earlier tonight, but it’s looking like Esquire’s BUTLER was the one who got the worst of things. You can bet your bottom dollar that the heat between these two is only going to build, Dave, and that we’ve far from seen the last of either Esquire OR “Hellraiser” and TSK!

Dave - I say that’d be a pretty sae bet, Rick. Up next though, we have what could turn out to be quite a match. We'll be seeing yet ANOTHER Planet Wrestling newcomer, the now non-practicing surgeon Dr. Troy Howard going up against "Ice Man" Matt Michaels, who may want to be renamed the "Iron Man" after what will be his SECOND match of the night. But to tell everyone the truth, considering the condition Micheals is in, I'd say that he should be resting and recuperating at home tonight, not setting foot in the ring. Heck, he shouldn't even have wrestled ONCE tonight, much less twice.

Rick - I have to agree with you there, Dave: The good doctor may well be finding an easy first win here tonight against a less-than-100% “Ice Man”, although you can expect that the if the Ice Man does take the loss, that he'll go down the only way he seems to know how: Swinging.

Dave - There's no doubt about that Rick, but I fear that Michaels may have reached the end of his rope tonight. I think the fans here, as huge as their support is for this man... I think they feel his number's up too, even if they'd like nothing better than to have Matt prove them wrong. But the time for speculation's growing thin as the match is about the get underway...

[The bell rings.]

Pattera - This next match is a scheduled for one fall......

Pattera - Coming down the aisle, weighing 173 pounds, [Fans don't have much of a reaction as Dr. Troy Howard walks out, though they offer the occasion crotch chop.]  Dr. Troooy Hooowaaard!!

[Dr. Troy Howard walks to the ring. "Sexy Boy" plays...Matt Michaels steps out of the entrance area, the pyro goes off, the crowd is going insane!!]

Pattera - Coming down the aisle, weighing 247 pounds, from San Antonio, Texas, "Ice Man" Maaatt Miiichaaaeeels!!!!!!!!!!!

[Michaels makes his way to the ring and climbs inside. He performs his crotch chop as the fireworks fly. The bell rings.]

*** Matt Michaels Vs Dr. Troy Howard ***

Rick - Matt Michaels in there quick with the go-behind and he has Howard by the wrist- And an Irish whip sends Howard to the turnbuckle! Dr. Troy Howard holding on to his lower back after that. The Ice Man sends him stumbling with a thunderous blow to the side of the head!! Matt Michaels has him in an arm wringer- PULLS him in! Matt Michaels just RAMMING his shoulder into Dr. Troy Howard! And Dr. Troy Howard down to his knees. Double leg takedown by Michaels! Michaels all OVER Howard in the opening moments of the bout!!

Dave - Michaels with his legs... going for the figure four- NO! Texas coverleaf attempt by Michaels! He's trying to turn him over... This could be it... yyyYES! OH! And Dr. Howard gets to the ropes! Matt Michaels breaks the hold... Pulls Dr. Howard up- Repeated chops to the chest by Michaels! Down goes Dr. Troy Howard once again! Dr. Howard looking like he's trying to catch his breath, but it's Michaels from behind. Kicks him down! Now kicks him over onto his back- A cover: 1-2- Kickout! Dr. Troy Howard pushing himself up- Matt Michaels HAULS him down with a lunging clothesline!

Rick - I don't know if it's the adrenaline or what, but Michaels so far the aggressor in this match and taking the rookie Howard to SCHOOL! Michaels now up and pulling the good doctor up to join him- OH! A backhanded chop to chest by Troy Howard!! Here we go with a tie up... Who's coming out on top Dave?

Dave - Well, The Ice Man just shoved Howard away and now he's tattooing him with chops for good measure!! So I'm gonna have to say Michaels. And Micheals just runs over Dr. Howard with a clothesline! Michaels on Howard quick with a body scissors applied! And he's really squeezing it on too! Dr. Troy Howard in trouble here if he can't reach the ropes... Aaaaand YES! Dr. Troy Howard has the rope and the hold is broken!

Rick - Howard pulls himself back to his feet with the help of the ring ropes and amazingly, he's up first. The Ice Man trying to push himself to his feet... Dr. Howard just waiting for him.. Michaels up- Sleeperhold applied by Howard! And Matt Michaels looks like he's off to dreamland! What a turn of events this would be if Howard was to pull the victory off after having taken so much punishment from the opening bell! I guess not: Luckily Michaels managed to escape and dropped to the canvas. Dr. Howard pulling The Ice Man up off the mat. Howard setting up for something- hooks the leg- Fisherman’s suplex? OhmyGOD!!!! He just dropped Michaels on his head with a... Fisherman's Brainbuster?!... WHAT a MOVE! Both men are down and look absolutely exhausted! I guess Howard used all his reserves left to pull that last move off....

["Sexy Boy" plays...]

Pattera - Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... Maaatt Miiichaaaeeels!!!

Dave - Micheals pulling off a second victory here tonight and going the extra distance to prove just how committed he is to this federation! And what about the action that was taking place on the outside? First it was the big Hank Albert flattened by Hall and THEN it was DemonKnight waylaying Kevin Hall! But just when it looked like Hall was in a terribly tight spot, the Canadian Crippler blasts into the scene! Rick, I don't know about what you're thinking about all tis, but I'd go as far as to say that this has been one of the most unpredictable editions of Throttle that the PW has EVER had.

Rick - There's no argumanet here, Dave! We've seen new faces coming out of the woodwork and more surprise appearances than you can shake a stick at! It almost makes you wonder what we could POSSIBLY have in store in our main event of the night between none other than the Canadian Crippler and Herald!

Dave - You're not kidding! And talk about unpredicatble, this match was put together by the front office when both the Canadian Crippler and Herlad had submitted open challenges, and I have a good feeling that this match will be well-deserving of the main event status that it was given.

Rick - I couldn't agree more, Dave: Although both men are more than likely feeling the effects of Zero Tolerance, especially Herald, with his arm still wrapped in a cast, I have a good feeling that this is goingto be a first-class knock-down, drag-out fight! I'm not a big proponent of the Crippler's reversal in his thinking away from his more vicious attitude, but he's still a world-class competitor, and who can forget how close Herald was so MANY times to winning the World Heavyweight Championship at Zero Tolerance.

Dave - This one could be a barn burner indeed, Rick! Bt the time for talk is up and Jim Pattera is ready to get this one started, so let's hear what he has to say...
