re-aired on:
[3 0 . 0 4 . 0 1]
[The scene opens at ringside, at the announcers' table, inside the Planet Dome. Things are just starting to bustle as fans are trickling into their seats, but it's obviously still some time before the start of tonight's Shockwave. Sitting on the table is announcer David Deyo.]
Dave - Ladies and gentlemen, we're on the heels of the UWP's "Going Way South" Pay Per View spectaclar, where Planet Wrestling held a battle royal to decide the fate of the vacant Trans World Title, not to mention just WHO would be contending for the UWP championship... Due to a number of defections in the UWP landscape, things will be resceduuled, likely to June, but be assured that Planet Wrestling will be sending its repersentative forward. And if you don't know who that is by now, then sit tight, because we're going to be showing a special re-airing of that history-making card, including the Trans-World Championship match as a lead in to tonight's HUGE Shockwave lineup! So without further delay, I present to you, pre-recorded, the UWP's "Going Way South" Pay Per View.
[The shot cuts, then fades back in. We join the re-airing of "Going Way South"]

*** FWWA's Shane the Regulator Wiley vs. CWA's Dead Serious ***
{At The University Of Mississippi's Auditorium } (The lights go down, chaser lights starts up as Jon bon Jove's Blaze of Glory starts up, as Shane walks down to the ring with a slow cocky strut as the fans have mixed emotions. Dead Serious music hits as the serious CWA wrestler makes his way down to the ring and the wrestler hook it up!)
Dead Serious and Shane lock it up and Dead Serious gets a huge knee off on Shane but Shane recovers and gets up and delivers a clothesline that sends Dead Serious crashing down, but Dead Serious gets up and throws Shane into the corner and gets a big boot on Shane until the ref breaks the hold and Shane bursts out of the corner with a huge bulldog to Dead Serious! Shane now picks up Dead Serious and throws him into the ropes and delivers a back body drop to Dead Serious and Shane again throws Dead Serious into the ropes and this time it's a monkey toss that sends Dead Serious down to the mat. But Shane is far from done as he applies a strong arm bar hold to Dead Serious as the move sends Dead Serious crawling for the ropes but he can't reach as Shane drags him away from the ropes and still applies pressure to the arm of Dead Serious. But Shane sees that Dead Serious won't give up and let's go and as Dead Serious is favoring his arm Shane picks him and irish whips him into the corner and goes for a spear but Dead Serious moves and Shane bashes his shoulder off the pole as Shane gets up holding his arm and Dead Serious goes off the side ropes and gets a clothesline off on Shane and Dead Serious takes control with a ddt to Shane and then applies a single boston crab to Shane but Shane reaches and grabs the ropes, and the fight continues as Dead Serious is in control with a drop toe hold on Shane when he sent him into the ropes, but Shane gets a low blow and Shane picks up Dead Serious in a body slam position but he throws Dead Serious into the top rope as Dead Serious holds his throat from the slam. Shane now places Dead Serious' head into the middle rope as Shane goes off the other rope on the other side of the ring and he lifts up his leg in mid-air and slams it down right on Dead Serious' throat. And now Shane lifts Dead Serious up and chokeslams him down and applies a chokehold to Dead Serious! Shane will not let go as the ref tries to pull Shane off but Shane just has gone berserk and won't let go of the chokehold! As the ref signals for the bell and Shane is disqualified and Dead Serious is the winner and it takes three refs to get Shane off! But when Shane let's go Dead Serious rolls out of the ring holding his throat and Shane looks over towards the ref and head butts the ref! And the ref falls down and when the ref gets up Shane gets a belly-to-belly suplex off! Now he is going to finish him off as he picks him up and does a ddt and puts him thumbs down and gets a brainbuster off on the ref!* (Shane's music hits and Shane walks out of the ring as the ref and Dead Serious are both down on the ground with bruises and possibly injuries from Shane as Dead Serious is awarded the winner.)
*** Shadow vs. Stalin vs. Legacy Rick Redman(c) For the Eurasian title in a barbwire match! Andy Anvil special guest ref! And he has his fists taped! ***
(There is a droning sound as Edge's music hits with "You think you know me" and The Legacy appears with Kirsten Dunst as they walk down with an array of impressive fireworks while in the ring, they are greeted by more in-ring fireworks and strobe lighting. Stalin's music hits as the head of SWO walks to the ring as he hopes to win the title. Shadow's music hits as the lights go out but this time the light's also flicker like lightning as Satan's voice is heard" Go forth Shadow and cats a shadow on the Eurasian title and bring it to me! Stalin and Legacy will see what it's like to cast a shadow!" and an explosion of sparks go off as a spotlight shows Shadow being lowered into the ring by a cable. A high bassed version of O Canada plays and Andy Anvil the guest referee walks to the ring and they're off!) *As Shadow has come from the top of the ceiling and he immediately gets the cable unlocked as Shadow attacks Stalin with a flipping drop kick that staggers Stalin. As Shadow uses his speed to overcome Stalin by jumping up onto the top turnbuckle and getting a moonsault off on Stalin! But Legacy has had enough as he clotheslines Shadow from behind but Stalin responds with a bulldog to Legacy! Shadow recovers and gets a drop kick to the knee of Stalin but when Shadow tries a flipping dropkick Stalin catches Shadow and throws the 5'5 wrestler across the ring as Shadow's back scraps against the barbwire and Shadow gets a little cut that shows blood but Shadow just continues his attack with right hands headed for Stalin but Stalin just throws Shadow off and Legacy comes out of nowhere with a facebuster to Stalin! And as Legacy goes for a cover Shadow breaks it up with a dropkick to Legacy's head! Legacy gets up and runs at Shadow but Shadow is too fast as he throws Legacy towards the barbwire and Legacy puts on the brakes! And Shadow is busy again with Stalin as gets Stalin into the corner but Stalin bursts out and gets a slingshot off on Shadow that sends Shadow crashing headfirst into the turnbuckle. Legacy turns and a lock up with Stalin and Legacy gets the upper hand with a body slam and then an elbow drop and then a leg drop! Shadow now starts to get to his feet but is knocked down by Legacy by a spear! As Shadow is down and looks out Legacy goes for the cover on Stalin! Andy: 1! 2! Break! Stalin breaks free and Legacy keeps Stalin down with a sleeperhold on Stalin and Stalin gets woozy and a taped fist Andy Anvil lifts Stalin's hand three times but Stalin's hand is shot up into the air on 2! Stalin starts to get to his feet with elbows to Legacy but Legacy breaks it with a falling slam! And Legacy gets the sleeperhold applied again but Stalin raises his hand when Andy Anvil checks it on 1! Stalin now again makes his way to his feet and throws Legacy off and Legacy comes really close to the barbwire and Stalin gets a falling back body drop on Legacy! Now Stalin makes his way over to Shadow who is sitting in the corner watching and recovering from the spear but when Stalin goes toward Shadow, Shadow kicks Stalin repeatedly to get him away from his sitting position and Stalin staggers away and Shadow sits on the top turnbuckle and gets a tornado ddt off! And Shadow goes to follow it up but Legacy grabs Shadow and turns him and chokeslams Shadow down! Now Legacy is picking Shadow up by his masked head and he is running Shadow's masked face across the barbwire! And Shadow falls to the ground clutching his face as the camera shows blood coming from Shadow's eye and maybe from somewhere else on his face but we can't tell because he wears a black mask but Shadow has blood on his chest and over his mask as he lies down and Legacy and Stalin go at it and Legacy is slammed down by Stalin with a falling slam! But when Stalin goes to get Legacy up Legacy gets low blow on Stalin! And what is this? Scarlet Surfer and Thor are making their way to the ring and Thor has Mjolner in his right hand and Scarlet Surfer has his surfboard under his right arm! As a bloody Shadow starts to get up he sees them and as Scarlet and Thor stand on the outside Shadow jumps onto the top turnbuckle and does a vaulting body press that knocks both men down! And Shadow grabs Mjolner and goes to smash it on Thor's head but Scarlet Surfer hits Shadow in the back of the head with his surfboard! And now Thor and Scarlet are trying to get Shadow tied to the surfboard but Shadow fights back with kicks and punches to both of them! And both men stagger away and now Shadow gets Mjolner and as Shadow is crouched down hiding Mjolner Thor starts to walk towards Shadow and Shadow turns and hits Thor right in the head with Mjolner! And now Scarlet Surfer makes his way to Shadow but Shadow gets a "Shadow Kick"(sweet chin music) off on Scarlet and now the ref Andy Anvil sees this and he climbs the turnbuckle and gets "The Anvil" off on both Thor and Scarlet Surfer! And a bloodied Shadow and Andy Anvil exchange looks until Shadow turns and starts to punch Scarlet Surfer in the head! And back in the ring Stalin recovered from the low blow and was distracted by the fight of his fellow SWO members and Legacy turns Stalin and ddt's Stalin and he gets a sharpshooter on Stalin! Andy Anvil sees this but Shadow doesn't and Andy runs into the ring and Stalin taps out!* (The bell rings as Andy Anvil raises Legacy's hand and gives the belt back to Legacy and Shadow hears this and turns and looks up and just stares at the Eurasian champion, and Legacy's music is cut off as the light's go out and Shadow's music plays and the lights flash like lightning and when the lights come on Stalin, Thor, and Scarlet Surfer have SOS painted on their backs and Scarlet Surfer is tied to his surfboard and Shadow is gone and Legacy still has his hand raised but stops when he sees that Shadow is gone and the camera shows on Mjolner in little letters on the tip of the hammer it has SOS on it. And Legacy's music plays again as Shadow lost his title shot even though Stalin and SWO cost him the match….)
*** FWWA Devastator vs CWA The Grim Ripper ***
(The CWA Grim Ripper waits for his opponent . He heckles the fans as they boo and jeer. The referee waits for the bell and Devastator no shows! The bekll rings and 5 minutes go by. The Grim Ripper gets on his cell phone calls satan and says.

Devastator is pinned 1,2,3!!!!Winner The Grim Ripper! )
*** FWWA The Beast vs CWA The Midwest Tornado ***
(The Beast and The Mdwest Tornado lock up and Tornado is jabbed in the eyes. The Beast uses the Midwest Tornado as a human punching bag! The Beast perpetutes a long drawn out relentkless campaign of blood letting on the 53 year old Midwest Tornado. The Beast then throws a fireball at Midwest Tornado but misses! Midwest Tornado fires back with an assortment of punches and kicks a real cornucopia of street fighting. The two take it out to the audience as they brawl like two angry bulls. They are oblivous to the ref as he counts .They are counted ouut.The atch declared a draw doesn't even distract these two as they brawl out into the parking lot and arefinally stopped by security. )
*** FWWA Word Hardcore TV Title triple threat Shaka Zulu vs Kwasi Moto vs The Atomic Punk ***

{Montgomery Alanbama Arena}
*** FWWA World tag Champs vs CWA World tag Champs ***
This match was a dissappiontment The CWA World tag Team Champiopns Stars N Bars and Blaze of Glory went into the match drunk. They were no match for the Lone Wolves. They put up a feeble attempt at an offense but were clumbsy and uncoordinated.Thier alchohol induced haze was soon replaced by a white fog of sleep. Swampwolf choked out Blaze of Glory to give The FWWA the win! The FWWA doesn't keep the CWA titles BUT I imagine The CWA Prez will have a talk with Stars n Bars and Blaze of Glory!
*** Bad Attitude David Anderson vs. George Lionheart Winner gets a UWP heavyweight title shot! ***
(There is a thunder sound and then followed by horses footsteps as Bad Attitude David Anderson the FWWA heavyweight champ makes his way to the ring as he has the heavyweight belt around his waist and he holds both his hands up making the 4 horsemen sign. George Lionheart's music plays and the CWA heavyweight champion standing at 7 feet 11 inches makes his way to the ring with the CWA belt also around his waist and the two champs go at it!) *The giant George Lionheart starts things off by running at David with an attempt of a clothesline but David ducks but Lionheart catches him from behind with a huge clothesline! David gets up and takes a right hand to the big man but Lionheart recovers and delivers a big boot to David Anderson! Now Lionheart is picking up David Anderson and delivers a belly-to-back suplex that sends David Anderson crashing to the ground as George Lionheart has the height advantage and is so far in control in this match. George Lionheart picks up David Anderson and throws David Anderson into the ropes and Lionheart gets a back body drop off on David Anderson and George Lionheart goes to pick David Anderson up again and gets David Anderson in a reverse sleeper hold but David Anderson tries to stay away from the sleeper hold by immediately throwing George Lionheart into the ropes but the 7'11 tall George Lionheart comes back from the ropes and knocks David Anderson down with a shoulder block. And David Anderson is sent down to the ground once again but when George goes to pick up David Anderson, David Anderson gets a fireman carry off on George Lionheart and George Lionheart goes down but when David Anderson goes to pick up George Lionheart, George Lionheart does a takedown on David Anderson and George Lionheart picks David Anderson up and does a above head body press slam! And David Anderson goes down hard on his back and George Lionheart sees this and picks David Anderson up and gets a forearm smash off on David Anderson and David Anderson now has really hurt his back and George Lionheart gets an irish whip on David Anderson and David Anderson slams against the turnbuckle hard injuring his back more and George Lionheart goes towards David Anderson and does a hip toss as David Anderson goes down still favoring his back and George Lionheart keeps going at the back of David Anderson with a huge body slam! And George Lionheart throws David Anderson into the corner and turns him so his back is facing Lionheart and Lionheart gets 4 forearm smashes off on David Anderson and David goes crashing down in pain and the ref goes to check to see if he's alright but David just pushes the ref away and sucks it up and runs at Lionheart in rage delivering right hands to Lionheart and David winds up and knocks the big man down with a huge uppercut! And Lionheart gets up but David sends him down with a haymaker! As David Anderson goes to get Lionheart David picks Lionheart up but Lionheart reverses the grapple and gets a belly-to-back suplex on David and David goes down hard on his back. Now George Lionheart goes for a cover! Ref: 1! 2! Break! And David Anderson just barely kicked out on that one and Lionheart now applies an abdominal stretch to David Anderson and David's screams of pain are heard as Lionheart applies pressure to the back of David Anderson but David Anderson doesn't give up and Lionheart gives up and David Anderson staggers away and Lionheart catches him and gets a spicoli driver off on David Anderson! Now David Anderson sends down George Lionheart with a tackle to Lionheart and David Anderson climbs on top of Lionheart and delivers some hard right hands to Lionheart's face and David Anderson let's go when the ref calls him to break it up and David Anderson isn't done as he goes off the ropes and gets a flying forearm off on the big Lionheart and Lionheart goes down and David Anderson gets a Boston Crab off on Lionheart but it doesn't last as Lionheart flips David over showing the strength of his legs but David is first up as Lionheart still favors his leg from the Boston Crab and when he gets up David Anderson gets a dropkick to the knee of Lionheart and Lionheart goes down as both men now have weak spots on them and David follows it up with a single Boston Crab this time and David Anderson doesn't let go until the ref breaks it and neither men are giving up in this match. And Lionheart gets up and David sends him down with a diving elbow to the knee of Lionheart and he goes down and David goes to pick up Lionheart, Lionheart does a takedown again on David Anderson and now Lionheart has had enough and gets up and grabs David up and gets a German suplex pin on the back of David Anderson and goes for the pin! Ref: 1!2! Break! And David Anderson breaks free and is now favoring his back and Lionheart sends David into the ropes but for some reason the referee got in the way and gets knocked down by George Lionheart and George Lionheart ignores it and gets a powerslam off on David Anderson! And now David Anderson is really hurting his back as George Lionheart gets "The Lionsplittler"(jumping powerbomb) off on David Anderson!! And George goes for the cover but he remembers the ref and goes and starts to shake the ref to get up but by the time he's done that David Anderson has recovered in less than a minute from "The Lionsplitter"! And the ref is up and David Anderson goes up behind Lionheart and gets a sidewalk slam off on Lionheart! And David Anderson quickly picks Lionheart up and gets a gordbuster off on Lionheart! And now David Anderson has tossed Lionheart into the corner but Lionheart turns David and puts him in the corner but David Anderson pushes Lionheart down and gets a slingshot off right onto the turnbuckle! And David now knocks a staggered Lionheart from a slingshot down with a clothesline! And now David Anderson almost finishes him off with "The 4th Horseman"! And the cover is made and the ref goes for the count! Ref: 1! 2! miracuosly Georg kicks out! George irish whips Anderson to the ropes ,george ,the 7foot 11 and a half gargantua leaps at Anderson as he sails back, They both collide ,each with forearm smashes.

[The shot cuts to the interior of the Planet Dome, where things are already in progress...]
Dave - Ladies and gentlemen, regular Planet Wrestling viewers, viewers of the FWWA, CWA, WWWA and other UWP viewer, this is Planet Wrestling commentator David Deyo... I'm joining you along with fellow commentator Rick Richards, and let me tell you that, folks, you haven't seen anything yet, because Planet Wrestling has come to Going Way South!!! Fans of Planet Wrestling have seen some incredible matches in their time, from the match that took place on the top of our Planet Dome, to sixty minute Ironman matches taking place inside a steel cage... but tonight Planet Wrestling fans and the general followers of the UWP alike will bear witness to a high-caliber match that won't be a one-on-one contest... Nor will it be a tag team match, or even a six-man tag. What you're on the verge of experiencing will go down in Planet Wrestling history as crowning the Planet Wrestling Trans World Champion in a BATTLE ROYAL that will be host to THIRTEEN of the top wrestling talents on the entire planet!
Rick - You got THAT right, Dave! Not to take anything away from the wrestlers from all of the other organizations under the UWP banner, we're going to have a pretty damn impressive lineup for this match. Heck, I don't even know quite where to start... There's the explosive, exciting daredevil known as Praxis. There's the hot-tempered man from Dublin, Ireland: "Better Than You" Brian Collins. We have the hard-working Marky$Marc. There's the Martial Arts expertise meshed with wrestling holds coming from "The Gold Dragon" Kevin Peterson. There's Drunkaholic, who'll be returning to Planet Wrestling action in his first match since the much-talked-about Battle for the Crown. We have the feuding brothers: Zed "Black Thunder" Logan, and his brother, the leader of Planet Wrestling's New generation X, Zack "Blue Thunder" Logan. We're sure to have a typically atypical showing from "The King of the Barrio Streets" Rudy Rudos, the man who calls himself "New Jersey's first luchador". Valentine, wrestling wife of Planet Wrestling's own "Heartbeat of Canada" Ken Jansen, has been entered into this battle royal as THE first woman to cross the gender barrier into Planet Wrestling's championship scene, and who at the same time has a chance at claiming inter-federational gold. And we can't forget the man that many have come here to see, judging by a great number of signs that the fans in the audience are proudly holding: I'm talking about the always-exciting man who doesn't know the MEANING of the word "quit", the "Ice Man" himself, Matt Michaels!
Dave - An impressive lineup to say the least, Rick, but we can't forget about the real X factors that have a part in this match: the impressive newcomers like the Icon; the former Hell's Angel who was banned from membership for his Extreme ways, Slasher; there's the man who's already saying that he's destined for Greatness, "Sublime" Sandis Arlington. These three will be making their bigtime debuts in mere minutes from now, and one can't overlook the fact that they'll be bringing their "A" games looking to make a lasting impression on their opposition, and perhaps more importantly, on the fans in attendance and watching around the world.
Rick - But they're going to have their work cut out for them, that's for sure! This one will start with thirteen grapplers in the ring, but it'll only be over when we're down to one. I've been known to make my predictions about match winners in the past, but I'm telling you Dave, that I don't even feel safe in taking a wild STAB at picking a winner for this match.
Dave - There's no doubt about it, Rick: with that many bodies in one ring at the same time, ANYTHING is possible, and only time will tell just who will be the winner of the now-vacant Trans World Championship, and then go on to face the FWWA's World Champion "Bad Attitude" David Anderson AND the man who was the runner-up in the UWP World Grand Unified Heavyweight Championship, the current CWA World Champion, "The Crestview Giant" himself, George Lionheart! That UWP championship match is destined to go down in the record books just like the last one, Rick, but we can't get ahead of ourselves here: we have to find out just WHO the CWA and FWWA champs will have to contend with. And from the looks of things, with Planet Wrestling ring announcer Jim Pattera in the ring, I'd say we're ready to get the ball rolling!!
[The bell rings, and the shot cuts to Jim Pattera, dressed in a tux, who stands in the center of the ring, with microphone in hand.]
Pattera - Ladies and gentlemen, in association with the United Wrestling Promotion, Planet Wrestling is proud to present the following Planet Wrestling, Trans World Championship, thirteen man, over-the-top-rope BATTLE ROYAL!!!
[The crowd cheers.]
Pattera - Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada, weighing in at 232 pounds, "Sublime" Sandis Arlington!!!
[Fireworks fly and the lights dim, and after a few moments, Arlington steps onto the scene and proceeds toward the ring to the crowd's boos...]
Dave - Arlington being booed by a great deal of the fans here tonight.
Rick - Some of the bigger followers of the sport have seen this man before, Dave, and they know about the kinds of things he can do. He was the man responsive for the paralysis of a six-time Heavyweight Champion by the name of Lanier Riley over in the BJWC, where he also ended the career of a resident fan-favorite called Jake Blood. Anyone who's followed that fed know he's a tough customer, and I have a feeling that he'll be getting into a groove in Planet Wrestling real soon.
Dave - But what's the competition like in the BJWC?
Rick - From what I've seen, Arlington was their top talent, even though I'm sure that the fanbase there are more than happy that he's gone... By the way ladies and gents, this might be a good time to fix yourself a snack if you're watching this from home, because once this match starts, you'll be wanting to stay glued to your sets.
Dave - You're not kidding!
[ "NO" by SoulFly begins to play over the loudspeakers...]
Pattera - And on his way down the aisle, weighing in at 230 pounds, from New Jersey, he is "The King of the Barrio Streets" Rudy Rudos!!!
[Rudos makes his way toward the ring... He wears a red and black luchador mask and a pair of dominantly black tights with the letter "R" in blood lettering on each of the legs and matching red boots. He's also swapped his traditional "Buckwheat" from "the Little Rascals" T-shirt, and sports a red and black tie-dyed shirt that matches with his tights and mask.]
Dave - But speaking of tough customers, here's one now. Rudy Rudos may have been "sentenced" to some mellowing-out at a hippy commune, but one has to wonder if it's only served to enhance the aggressive tendencies of this ticking timebomb.
Rick - I have to agree with you there, Dave: Rudos is nothing f he's not unpredictable, and anyone with half a brain in there tonight will be keeping an eye out for him.
Dave - I should remind the members of our home audience that though Rudos is entering the ring now, that he and all of the other competitors in this match have been informed that SHOULD they get involved in any sort of physical confrontation with another other wrestler BEFORE the opening bell, that they'll be disqualified immediately and be forfeiting their chance at the PW's Trans World Title, and the UWP Championship match.
[ "One Step Close" by Lincoln park cuts in, and a portion of the crowd jumps to its feet, cheering wildly...] Pattera - Coming down the aisle, weighing in at 247 pounds, from San Antonio, Texas, he is the "Ice Man" Matt Miiiiiiiiiiichaels!!!
[The fans cheer, as Michaels makes his way to the ring...]
Rick - The "Ice Man" appealing to a good section of the Planet Wrestling fans, Dave. To be honest, like him or not, you can't deny that Michaels has been involved in some of Planet Wrestling's most exciting matches EVER. With a billing like that, you KNOW that he'll help bring some excitement to whatever match he's booked for, and you can't HELP but like that if you're a fan of the sport.
Dave - There's no doubt about it, Rick: Michaels is an incredible wrestler and a phenomenal athlete, and any fan who's seen any of his matches knows what kind of entertainer he is. With a number of grueling matches under his belt during his illustrious career, TONIGHT could be the chance that the "Ice Man" has been looking for to claim more championship gold...
[Michaels' music cuts, and is replaced by "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana...]
Pattera - And now, making his way to the ring, weighing in at 250 pounds, from Baltimore, Slasher!!!
[Slasher makes his way through his pyrotechnics display, then salutes the crowd. After doing so, he walks toward the ring...]
Rick - And here's another one of the potential X-factors that you were talking about, Dave. We don't know a WHOLE lot about this former member of the Hell's Angels biker gang, but for a newcomer, he's shown a lot of focus for this match, and his upcoming singles match against "Better Than You" Brian Collins, which will be seen at the next Planet Wrestling show.
Dave - He's a big, rugged-looking man, that's for sure. But riding with biker gangs and wrestling are two completely different things, Rick.
Rick - That they are, Dave. And one has to wonder: with no professional wrestling background, how well will Slasher make the transition to this sport. We've seen so many others coming into wrestling from various walks of life, and with limited success. But whether Slasher will be able to keep up or not, you have to give him credit: he's jumping in with both feet, getting involved in such a high-profile match in his first-ever match. That takes a LOT of guts, ESPECIALLY considering he has the potential to make a complete JACKASS of himself here tonight.
[ "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath begins to play...]
Pattera - And the next competitor, weighing in at 335 pounds, from Death Valley, here is Zed "Bllllllllack Thunnnnnndderrr" Loooooooooooogan!!!
[Crowd responds with cheers, as the near 7-foot-tall monster walks onto the scene...] Dave - Planet Wrestling's current Extreme Champion looking to be in great shape for this match, Rick, but you know that his upcoming Shockwave match with his brother Zack Logan.
Rick - You know it, Dave. You practically know for a FACT that those two will be at each other's throats in this one. Looking for injury will be a factor for sure, considering that they'll be looking to gain an advantage for their upcoming match... but what they HAVE to remember if they want the TW strap, or if they want to have a chance at the UWP belt, that they'll have to play it smart at the same time, and not let their sibling rivalry occlude their objective...
["Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson plays...]
Pattera - And weighing in at 342 pounds, from St Louis, MO, here is Zack "Blue Thunder" Logan!!!
[Some booing from pockets of the crowd as Zack Logan slowly walks toward the ring ...]
Rick - And speak of the devil, here he is. Zack taunting the PW fans at aisleside with that New Generation X patented crotch chop, and they're really admonishing him for it, Dave.
Dave - They hate the man, Rick. They REALLY hate the man. He's betrayed his own BROTHER for goodness sake, and why?
Rick - I know, I know... But you can't take away the fact that he's a former Trans World Champ, which is something that NO ONE ELSE involved in this match can claim, so there's no way that ANYONE can count him out of contention, blood feud or not.
Dave - I can't argue with that, Rick. Zack Logan has turned into a seasoned veteran who's been there and back in his career. He may not be popular with the Planet Wrestling fans, but he's a definite favorite for anyone who's a betting man...
Rick - But with Zack AND Zed in the ring now, things are not only starting to get crowded, Dave, but you can practically cut the tension with a KNIFE, it's so thick! Let's get this one STARTED already!
[KMFDM's "Juke-Joint Jezebel" plays...]
Pattera - And weighing in at 226 pounds, from Devils Lake, ND, here is Praxis!!!
[Some positive response from the crowd as Praxis rushes to the ring.]
Rick - We don't know a lot about Praxis, but if he can hang on for a while and THEN pull of some of his impressive aerial offense, then he may turn a few heads tonight...
["Blacklisted" by Rancid plays...]
Pattera - And weighing in a 222 pounds, hailing from Utopia, here is Drunkaholic!!!
[Drunkaholic, standing at about seven feet tall due to the foot-tall, green mohawk on his head, makes his way to the ring, to a mix of cheers and boos. With him, he has a case of Labbats Ice beer...]
Dave - Drunkaholic on his return bout, here. But will he still have what it takes to compete at the extremely high level of Planet Wrestling after his hiatus, or will he be showing signs of ring rust?
Rick - He'll have to keep his beer with the time keeper, though he doesn't seem to happy about the fact...
[The pulsing beat of "Captive Heart" by Selena (remixed version) cuts in, and out walks Valentine, to a full array of catcalls...]
[The arena lights go out. Flashbulbs spark in the crowd as anticipation grows... Now the big screen glows in the darkness, and on the big screen a swirl of gold particles dances, spins, and converges into the shape of a gold maple leaf. "Captive Heart" plays over the sound system, and the maple leaf throbs in tune with the bass... Suddenly the image bursts with a brilliant explosion, and the overhead lights turn on once more--and Valentine now stands in the aisle, wearing a gold and black singlet with gold edging and decorated on the hips and chest with the maple leaf-and-EKG symbol. Valentine puts her hands on her hips, shining a bright smile across the arena. She is carrying the infamous gold megaphone. Above, the big screen shows clips of Valentine in action. Valentine strides down the aisle, smirking at the mix of cheers, jeers and catcalls she receives from the aisle-side spectators...]
Pattera - And weighing in at 153 pounds, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, she is Valentine!!!
Dave - Valentine being told to hurry things along by the ring crew and forgo her usual self-introduction...
Rick - That's not fair! She should be able to do whatever she wants, Dave! It's all a part of her game, when it comes right down to it, and I'm SURE she's not going to be happy about this decision.
Dave - I know, I know.
Rick - But REALLY! Sure things in the ring are heating up, but if someone is BONEHEADED ENOUGH to get themself disqualified, then SO BE IT!
Dave - Well, I guess that if that was a part of her plan, that it just backfired on her... You'll probably ALSO notice that her husband, Ken Jansen isn't at ringside, just like Rudos' and Drunkaholic's ragtag crews aren't either. In case you're wondering just WHY, it's because before the show started, Gary Gibbs sent out a memo stating that no managers or valets were to be present at ringside, PERIOD. And you can bet that DQ-ing anyone who's friends show up at ringside wouldn't be unheard of...
[The music cuts and the lights in the arena turn to a goldish hue... a strings version of Greensleaves cuts in... Sensing the growing tension between the wrestlers in the ring already, Jim Pattera steps out to the ringside area...]
Pattera - And weighing in at 231 pounds, from Augusta, Maine, he is "The Gold Drrrrrrrrragon" Kevin Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeetersonnn!!!
Dave - Peterson coming out to an ovation from his Planet Wrestling followers as usual, and I have to say that this Martial Artist/ wrestler has really been coming into his own as of late, despite some disappointing losses. Keep an eye out for his Shockwave match against Rudy Rudos and Sean Swanson, because it's going to be a great one!
[ "Who Let The Dogs Out" by Baha Men cuts in...]
Pattera - And from Hamilton, Ontario Canada, weighing in at 165 pounds, here is Markyyyy$Marc!!!
[Marc comes out to a good ovation and proceeds toward the ring, dancing a nutty little dance as he does so, looking so bad he's looking good.]
Dave - Marky$Marc's been through a bit of an identity crisis lately, Rick, but will he be able to find himself and get on track for long enough to pull off a victory here tonight?
Rick - He'd better do some soul-searching or something, because he's got a big match ahead of him tonight, Dave!
[ "Enter the ICON!" cuts in...]
Pattera - And finally, weighing in at 243 pounds, from Toronto, Ontario, he is The Icon!!!
[Small response to Icon as he rushes the ring.]
Dave - Icon with a head full of steam and ready to jump in and get this one started!!
[Icon slides into the ring.]
Rick - All thirteen contestants are in the ring, and it's like a powder keg ready to EXPLODE in there! Start the match!!
[The bell rings.]
*** Planet Wrestling's 13-wrestler, over-the-top-rope Battle Royal - Trans World Championship Match ***
Dave - Lock up! Zack Logan literally kicking things off with a boot to the midsection on The Icon. "The Blue Thunder" setting Icon up for something....
Rick - Icon counters- back body drop!! Icon hauling Zack up now with the help of Zed Logan- Doubleteam clothesline and down goes Zack!!
Dave - Rudy Rudos off the ropes- spinning heel kick by Rudy Rudos clobbers Praxis from behind!! Rudos going high risk and climbing the turnbuckle! Rudy Praxis gets to his feet... turning around- Suicide dive by Rudy Rudos and he nails it!! Unbelievable!
Rick - Sandis Arlington with "The Gold Dragon" whips him to the ropes! Arlington hits the spinebuster on Peterson!
Dave - Nice one!
Rick - And look at THIS exchange that's going on! Matt Michaels and Drunkaholic slugging it out with each other in the early goings of this match! Drunk with a left... right... left ... another! Block by Matt Michaels! And the "Ice Man" counters with a big right of his own! Down goes Drunk!
Dave - Valentine- DOWN with a jumping kneedrop, and she landed it RIGHT in the face of Zack Logan!
Rick - Rudy Rudos climbing to his feet, Slasher moves in... double axehandle from behind puts the New Jersey luchador down. This is some match we're seeing here already: everyone's getting into it and things are already getting out of hand! Slasher helping Rudos to his feet- HUGE shortarm clothesline by Slasher almost knocked Rudy out of his BOOTS!!!
Dave - But Rudos tenacious as ever and getting back to his feet... OH!! And it's Drunkaholic getting involved and PLOWING Slasher down to the mat with a running elbow! Look out- Icon spinning Drunk around- HARD right hand to the face!
Rick - The Icon now with Drunkaholic by the wrist- Icon just RAMMING his shoulder repeatedly into Drunk! Drunkaholic down to a knee... Praxis joining the action and scoops Icon up- SLAMS him to the canvas! Drunkaholic up to his feet and now HE'S going to the top! This guy's crazy!! But Icon is right up there after him- they're battling it out on the top, but Drunkaholic seems to be taking a beating... The Icon has him hooked- superplex- no! Blocked by Drunkaholic!! And Drunk just SHOVED Icon off and right into Slasher, who was just getting up! And now Slasher and Icon wailing away at each other with a series of devastating punches!
Dave - "The Blue Thunder" mixing it up with Matt Michaels now! Zack Logan with a side headlock that he's wrenching on Michaels- But Michaels countering with a back suplex!
Rick - This match is great!!
Dave - No doubt about it, Rick: we're seeing some of Planet Wrestling's finest athletes competing in this match, and knowing that they'll be exposed to an even WIDER audience than usual has definitely shifted these twelve men and one woman into overdrive!
Rick - You got that right! And now we're seeing Brian Collins locking up with "The Gold Dragon" Kevin Peterson... He sends Dragon to the ropes... Collins with the clothesline! But Collins taken by surprise from behind courtesy of a belly to back suplex from newcomer "Sublime" Sandis Arlington, Dave!
Dave - And now Kevin Peterson seeing an opening and- Good GOD!! He just hooked the Dragonfire on Collins!! Collins struggling for all he's worth to get out of that dragon sleeper, but there's nowhere to run in a match like this!
Rick - "The Gold Dragon" looking to be in great form here, but he's wisely releasing that dreaded finisher of his anyway: he'd be a sitting duck if he'd held it for much longer, after all... Praxis running to the ropes- Flying crossbody- HOLY! Peterson saw it at the last second and ducked it! Praxis hitting into the ropes in midair, and we ALMOST saw our first elimination, there, Dave.
Dave - You're not kidding! But we could be just second away from that mark anyway, because it's looking like Marky$Marc may be in serious trouble here against "The Ice Man" Matt Michaels! Michaels with Marc against the ropes: he has a hold of Marc's leg, and all he has to do is flip Marc's legs over for elimination number one! OH! But Marc getting his other boot up in Michaels' face and backs him off!
Rick - But Matt's not giving up on him yet, Dave! Here he goes- applies a waistlock- Belly-to-belly suplex on Marc by the Ice Man!!
Dave - Icon off the ropes- BOWLS Matt Michaels over with a running clothesline!
Rick - Matt Michaels's gonna want the plates numbers on that Truck! Icon right in there again with a shoulder block sending the Ice Man to the mat.
Dave - And across the ring, there's heated action unfolding in an exchange between Sandis Arlington and "The King of the Barrio Streets" Rudy Rudos, folks! But now they've regressed to a verbal yelling match...
Rick - Actually, Rudy's doing most of the yelling... for the younger viewers out there in Planet Wrestling or UWP land, no lip-reading now! Aaaand- here we go with a tie up... Who's coming out on top Dave?
Dave - It's looking like Rudos is getting the upper hand this time, Dave! There's one of those big chops that he'd been joking about, but let me tell you that Arlington's not taking them as a joke at all! I was expecting maybe a kinder, mellower Rudos after the man's time in the commune, but if anything, the bottle up intensity being released here is TWICE as strong! Arlington reeling from those blistering blows, but another battle is going on in the meantime between Valentine and Drunkaholic!
Rick - Having trouble keeping up, partner?
Dave - There's just so MUCH action going on that it's hard to know what to focus on, Rick! But I'm doing what I can... Val and Drunkaholic with a staredown- Drunkaholic with a big swing- ducked by Valentine! Drunkaholic with a lunging clothesline- dodged again by Val- Drunkaholic back up- OH!!!! And taken right back down with a HUGE superkick from Valentine!
Rick - I think he saw Praxis backing toward him out of the corner of his eye and got distracted, or something, Dave, because he REALLY got drilled by that one! I wonder what it feels like to get flattened by a girl like that?
Dave - Don't start, Rick! Val's a woman, sure, but she deserves to be treated with some respect!
Rick - Is THAT why you've been staring at he hind quarters at every possible opportunity?
Dave - What? Hey! I wasn't-
Rick - I'm just kidding with you, Dave.
Dave - Heh. Very funny... But you have to wonder what's going through their minds at a time like this Rick: both Drunkaholic AND Valentine have an awful lot to prove here. Drunkaholic's looking to redeem himself after Ken Jansen SOMEHOW managed to squeak a victory at the Battle for the Crown, and Valentine, of course, has a chance here at being the very FIRST woman to claim Planet Wrestling's Trans World Championship!
Rick - And look at her work, Dave! Praxis got involved on her showdown with Drunk, and now Val's turned that around and is teaching Praxis a thing or two about rudely interrupting! Hits him with a kick to the kneecap! Now scoops the legs out- and flips the man down with a gutwrench side suplex!! I have a feeling that some of these guys are learning that she's no slouch in the ring-
Dave - And I think it's safe to say that maybe having some of the big boys underestimation what she can do is really working to her advantage.
Rick - No bones about it, Dave: this is definitely the kind of match where you want your opponents overlooking you. The only things that REALLY hurt her are her comparatively diminutive frame and the fact that Val's REALLY more of a high-flying chick-
Dave - Woman.
Rick - Oh, right, high-flying WOMAN... and the risk of using some of her typical arsenal might take some of the wind out her sails... Dave - But now it's Collins moving in while Praxis regains his footing- Kick to the gut knocks Praxis off balance. Collins- OH! Followed up with a running knee lift to take him down!
Rick - Now Zed Logan off the ropes- Drops the leg across Praxis' throat! Collins struck down from behind by Arlington!
Dave - Praxis getting to his feet, but Zed Logan right up with him- HO!! He's got Praxis by the throat! CHOKESLAMS him to the mat!!!
Rick - What a move there by the "Black Thunder"! But look at this! Icon climbing the turnbuckle!! Icon perched up there as Michaels slowly gets to his feet....The Ice Man turning around- Missile dropkick by Icon- AND HE NAILED IT!!! MICHAELS over the top from the impact- but he lands on the apron and hangs on! Marky$Marc charging him with a head full of steam- Michaels with a slingshot over Marc- LANDS on his feet! Marc turns- OH!! OooooOH!!!!! And there's elimination numero UNO!!
Pattera - Marky$Marc has been eliminated!
Rick - Let's see the replay of THAT one, Dave!
[Screen splits, to show a slow-motion replay in one half.]
Rick - Matt not only avoided elimination with this little catapult into the ring and rolling over Marc, but he landed on both feet, put on the brakes, and almost IMMEDIATELY sent Marc to the outside with his patented IceKick superkick!
[The screen reverts to normal.]
Dave - But the action continues on the inside, Rick! Slasher just put Drunkaholic on his back with a double leg takedown, and now the big, former Hell's Angels biker has Drunk by the ankles- DROPS the low blow headbutt!
Rick - And with the chaos that's going on in there, there's no way one of our ringside refs is going to throw him out for something as minor as that! Slasher may be new to this fed, Dave, but I have a feeling that once he gets rolling, that he'll develop into quite the presence, especially on the Extreme Championship circuit! I hear he was booted out of his old gang for his excessive brutality, even...
Dave - Yeah, but here in Planet Wrestling, his unorthodox style is ENCOURAGED when it comes to taking it to the Extreme! Slasher pulling Drunkaholic to his feet... Locking up- No one is budging! Slasher struggling to get an arm free- CRIPES! Closed fist punch caught Drunk right in the forehead- And Slasher's busted the man open! Drunkaholic with a gash on his forehead and he's bleeding!
Rick - Yeah, but that's only sped Drunk up, Dave! He's firing back with a VENGEANCE!! Slasher being staggered by a series of rapidfire tornado of punches from a furious Drunkaholic!! Drunk's just PEPPERING Slasher with hits! Slasher trying to counterpunch, but not having much luck in slowing Drunk down! OH!! Big digging shot to the kidney by Drunk and Slasher cover up- OW!!! And a big mohawked headbutt on Slasher from the drunken punk!! And now it's SLASHER who's cut open! I have a feeling that there's at least a couple of blades hidden up there in that mohawk of Drunkaholic's again, Dave! He may have been out of things for a while, but he's still up to his old tricks! And with the ring in a state of total anarchy, who in their right mind would get in there to check on him?...
Dave - But Slasher quickly regaining a vertical base and trying to wipe the blood out of his eyes with one hand, while taking wild swings with the other!! HO!!! And Praxis is the unlucky recipient of one stray punch! Brian Collins moving in- Woah-ho!! He's taken off his feet too!! Slasher staggering Rudy Rudos- OWWW!!! Low blow UPPERCUT there by Rudy And down goes Slasher! Rudy Rudos on his feet- stomping away at Slasher, along with the help of Drunkaholic!!
Rick - LORDY!!! There goes THAT double team!!! Zed Logan just barged onto the scene and turned BOTH Rudy and Drunkaholic inside out with a double clotheline straight from HELL!!
Dave - This is crazy!!
Rick - Kevin Peterson, in the meanitime, teaming up with Matt Michaels and pulling a stunned Praxis off the canvas... they whip him to the ropes! Praxis off the ropes- DOUBLE backbody drop-
Dave - And Praxis has been ejected!
Pattera - Praxis has been eliminated!
Dave - Zack Logan picking the pieces up of the destruction caused by his brother, Zed... Pulling Rudos up off the mat- Chop to the kidney area by Zack Logan stuns Rudos- MAN!! Just LAYS him RIGHT out with a huge clothesline!
Rick - But take a look at what we're seeing here! It's bad news for Zack, that's for sure! Zed Logan, Matt Michaels and "The Gold Dragon" Kevin Peterson all converging on the man!! Zack yanking Rudy up off the mat, and he doesn't have a CLUE! Scooping Rudy up for a gorilla press! This may be the end of Rudos!! But Zack just noticed his stalkers- TOSSED Rudy right into Matt and Peterson!!! And now HERE's what out Planet Wrestling fans have been waiting for!!! Zed and Zack Logan opening up on each other with ALL they've got!!! We've got a major slugfest on our hands, and heck, even the fans of the OTHER UWP FEDS are getting into this!!
Dave - They're not stupid, Rick: they know a great match when they see one, and his one fits that category PERFECTLY! Dear GOD! A fan just tossed a steel chair into the ring at Rudos while he was getting up, and he CAUGHT it! Michaels getting up- BAM!!! Peterson getting to his feet- BLAMMO!!! Rudos laying bodies to waste in there!! From behind on Zed Logan- GOOD God!!! Down goes the big man from that VICIOUS chair shot! The ringside referees trying to convince Rudy to thrown that weapon down, but they're not having much luck, folks!
Rick - I'm not sure if they expected anything quite like THIS, Dave! The only OFFICIAL way to be eliminated, as far as I know, is by being chucked over the top, so I wonder if the ref'll even TRY to slap Rudy with a DQ...
Dave - Well, they're letting him go so far, anyway... Rudos spearing Zed Logan's back with the chair, and Drunkaholic joining in on the beating, now with a series of brutal stomps! And look out- OH!!! Zack Logan just PUNTED his own BROTHER in the side of the HEAD!! Zack looking pleased about that and giving the crotch chop to his decimated brother!
Rick - And check this out, Dave! Drunkaholic joining in with him! I guess he's getting into this crotch chop thing AFTERALL!
Dave - It's just a distraction- LOOKOUT- OH!!!!! Rudy Rudos just DEMOLISHED that steel chair thanks to a THUNDEROUS chairshot to Zack Logan's skull!!! Logan just COLLAPSING to the canvas in a heap, and there's no doubt about it, Rick: the man is unconscious!
Rick - Unconscious, maybe, Dave... Heck, I wonder if he's even still ALIVE!!! Rudy Rudos and Drunkaholic demonstrating loud and clear that they're not allying themselves with anyone but each other in this contest, Dave! And now Drunkaholic shouting something to Rudy... Rudy putting the chair over Zack Logan's head, and Drunk's climbing to the top! He has a move called the Joykiller, where he stomps a chair from the top into a guy's head, and that MIGHT be what we're going to see here-
crowd - OH!!!!!!!
Rick - MAYBE NOT!!!
Dave - You're not KIDDING!! Valentine, with a keen eye, saw what Drunkaholic was doing, and flung herself into the ropes, causing the drunken punk to fall, split-legged, onto the top turnbuckle!
Rick - He'll be feeling THAT one for a while!
Dave - But Rudos has seen what went wrong! But Brian Collins seeing a chance and making his way to the injured Drunkaholic!! And Rudos- he's grabbing that chair up again and looking for another victim! And it's going to be Collins- OH!!! LEVELS him with it!
Rick - We both know what kind of damage Rudy can do with a kendo stick, Dave, but he's ALMOST as good with a chair! Not that he's not getting the practice in this match... And now Rudy with Collins off the mat- suplexes him up- slingshots him off the ropes- TOSSES him over the top on the backswing- GOD!!!! Collins CRASHING down into the floor at ringside, and he WON'T be hearing "We Are the Champions" tonight, Dave: it'll be more like "Another One Bites the Dust"!
Pattera - "Better Than You" Brain Collins has been eliminated!!!
Dave - [laughing] Good one, Rick! But more seriously, take a look at what's going on, now! "Sublime" Sandis Arlington swooping down on Zed Logan like a veritable vulture and has him by the legs- figure four leglock applied by Arlington!! And if "The Black Thunder" had been KO'ed by the Rudos chairshot, he's definitely awake now! He's reaching of the ropes, but they won't help him in a battle royal! But Peterson and Michaels getting to their feet and Arlington letting the submission go... Arlington to his feet and he's backing off from Michaels and Peterson, to try to formulate some sort of attack plan- Uh-oh! He just back into Icon! Icon tapping him on the shoulder, and Arlington turns- boot to the midsection by Icon!! Hoists Arlington up- BACK to the mat with a TREMENDOUS falcon arrow!!! What a MOVE!!
Rick - Arlington looks like he might be hurt... Rudy Rudos to the second rope- DOWN with a closed fist onto Arlington! Rudy Rudos on top of Arlington- Rake to the eyes by Rudy Rudos! OH! And Arlington instinctively shoved him away.
Dave - Valentine now with Slasher by the feet- OH!! BIG stomp into the groin area of Slasher!
Rick - I bet that Slasher's wishing he hadn't signed the contract for this match right about now, I don't care HOW Extreme he is!
Dave - Zed Logan gingerly getting to his feet...
Rick - Val now pulling Slasher up by the hair- slapping on a headlock... On the run- BULLDOGS him to the mat!!
Dave - Drunkaholic now over to Zack Logan- And kicks him in the ribs! Drunkaholic with his legs... going for the figure four- OW!! Drunkaholic decides to go for the wishbone instead!
Rick - Valentine still in control with Slasher, but Michaels seeing an opportunity here and off the top- BOY did he seize it!!! He just COLLIDED with poor Valentine and flattened here something AWFUL! Michaels pushing himself off Val-
Dave - OH NO!!!
Rick - Well, scratch THAT idea! Look like Icon had other plans, as he just dropped the BOOM on Michaels with a legdrop from the top, that I don't think ANYONE saw coming, ESPECIALLY not Matt Michaels!
Dave - Icon on his feet, and he's laying the boots into Michaels, rolling him off of Valentine, but here comes Sandis Arlington- catches Icon with a big right! Icon answering with a right hand of his own! And another! ROCKS Arlington with a third!! Now whips Arlington to the ropes! Sandis Arlington with a flying crossbody- CAUGHT by Icon!!! Icon making his way to the ropes- and DUMPS Arlington to the floor!!
Pattera - "Sublime" Sandis Arlington has been eliminated!
Rick - Zack Logan's been left alone by Rudy and Drunk, and he's come to life... He's trying to get to his feet- But Icon drags him right back down! The Icon not even taking a second to catch his breath after eliminating Sandis Arlington! He's on the warpath and laying into Zack with series of stomps!
Dave - And as you said, Rick- Rudos and Drunkaholic have moved on, and who they moved to is Valentine!! They've got her in the corner now, and they're just beating the TAR out of the woman with kicks and punches!
Rick - Icon pulling Zack up and has him in a standing headscissor- synches on the double underhook- flips him- AND INTO A POWERBOMB!!! Icon with a an INCREDIBLE move there on the big man, Zack Logan! Wow! And Icon now talking a little trash to the New Generation X leader...
Dave - But he'd better look out, because here comes Slasher! And Slasher on the scene like a cyclone and landing a haymaker into Icon's jaw!! Down goes Icon! Slasher clubbing Icon and doing what he can to keep Icon down, but by God, Icon fighting back! Icon back to his feet and it's a back-and-forth flurry of furious punches flying from each of these men! OH!! And Icon there landing a heavy hit!! He has Slasher by the hair- RAMS him face-first into the turnbuckle! And again! Going for three- YES! Icon calling to the fans for another- but Slasher blocking it- And BAM!! Icon coming off the turnbuckle in a daze! Slasher shaking the cobwebs loose... And now closing in on Icon again- Icon with a wild swing- ducked by Slasher! Slasher cutting in behind Icon- atomic drop - NO!!! He tossed him over the top and to the floor!!!!
Pattera - Icon has been eliminated!
Rick - And that's one more gone, Dave! Five down, and seven to go! Valentine having her difficulties in the corner with Drunk and Rudy, and it looks like we'll be down to six REAL soon! Val holding onto the ropes for dear life, but the more she does, the more Rudy and Drunk are punishing her for it! But what's this- Zed Logan marching in- spins Rudy around- bats Drunk to the mat! Zed Logan with Rudy Rudos- shot to the sternum- snapmare- NO!!! NAILS an over-the-shoulder jawbreaker! He had to LIFT Rudy up off the mat before doing that one, and you can BET that it didn't lessen the impact on Rudy at all!
Dave - His teeth are pretty likely rattled, Rick, that's for sure! Zed now with the chair that Rudy had a minute ago- PLASTERS Drunkaholic across the back with it! Slasher rushing in- OH!!! And he's clobbered from a chairshot too!! And now here comes Zack Logan- BAM!!!! Zack Logan getting the very same treatment! The referees are letting this go, and the crowd's reaction to the ring is absolutely ELECTRIC!!!
Rick - You got that right, Dave! I can barely HEAR myself over their cheers to call this match! And now look at this: Michaels and Peterson doubling up on Rudy! It's payback time for his chair shots, I guess! Peterson tattooing "The King of the barrio Streets" with rapidfire body blows, and now Michaels setting him up- here we go- CHILL FACTOR!!!!
Dave - "Ice Man" Matt Michaels just CRUSHING Rudy Rudos to the mat with his patented Chill Factor! And what a move that is: a powerbomb pickup, released into a mid-air Soviet suplex... and NO ONE else does it better than him...
Rick - I don't know if anyone else even DOES do it, Dave. I'm sure there's plenty in other leagues who might try, but it's one of those moves that requires impeccable timing, or it's botched. I'm not so sure that anyone beside Michaels would have the skill to actually pull it off!
Dave - Whatever the case, with Rudos incapacitated for the moment, Michaels and Peterson moving on to Drunkaholic and pulling him up- they whip him to the ropes- but Drunkaholic holding the ropes and putting on the brakes! Michaels and Peterson charging- DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE by Drunkaholic!!
Rick - Zack Logan being hammered repeatedly by his brother with a steel chair, but here comes Drunk- OUF!! So much for THAT! Zed Logan is holding onto that chair like he owns it, and swinging it like it's an extension of his own body, Dave! He's getting some sweet revenge on his brother, yeah, but he still has the presence of mind to be swatting down his other opponent like they're puny MOSQUITOES! OH!!! But he MUST have hammered his brother Zack with close to a DOZEN stiff shots so far... He's out to KILL the man, Dave!
Dave - Considering the betrayal he experienced at the hands of Zack and the AngelKillers, Rick, is it REALLY any surprise?
Rick - I know what you mean, but this is crazy!!
Dave - I have to agree with you on that one! But it looks like SOMEONE'S looking to stop the madness: Slasher and valentine each approaching Zed- GOD!!! Down goes Slasher- but Valentine with a diving chop block on Zed- and there goes the chair, anyway, folks!
Rick - The chair's fallen to the ringside area, Dave, and Zed may be on the mat now, but there's no doubt that the damage has been done on Zack Logan... Even if he may have deserved every lump and fractured bone he was given...
Dave - valentine not done with Zed Logan yet, though! Has him by the ankle- drops the elbow on the knee! Valentine obviously working the much bigger opponent's leg, and keeping a dangerous man like Zed "Black Thunder" Logan may be a good idea... Pulling him up off the canvas now- Irish whip to the ropes- Val off the ropes- spinning wheel kick- NO- MY LORD!!! Zed Logan CAUGHT Valentine in MID AIR, and CRUSHED her into his knee for the backbreaker!
Rick - Can't help but remind you of that Batman comic from a few years back, huh?
Dave - I wouldn't know, Rick, but what I DO know, is that Valentine took that one and HARD. She's holding onto her back, and one has to wonder if Logan's re-aggravated the injury she suffered at the hands of Rudy Rudos' cohorts at last Shockwave, because her face is a mask of pure anguish at the moment.
Rick - And in other action, we're seeing a great tag-team-like battle going on between Rudy Rudos and Drunkaholic on one side, and Michaels and Peterson on the other...
Dave - Zed Logan taking a moment to collect himself, but now back to his feet and bringing Valentine up the hard way with a handful of hair... Whipping her to the ropes- Zed Logan off the ropes- HOLY- NO!!!!
Pattera - Zed "Black Thunder" Logan has been eliminated!
Dave - Unbelievable! You talk about injustice!! Zack Logan, who saw his brother coming his way to gain momentum in order to steamroll Valentine, pulled the top rope down and Zed accidentally flipped backward over it and to the floor! Zed Logan on the outside, and he's HOT, Rick!
Rick - can you BLAME him, Dave?! He still had all KINDS of momentum in there, not to mention two apparent allies in Peterson and Michaels, and the man's out as a result one of the oldest tricks in the book. It's just not fair- Uh-oh!! Zed just hauled his brother out by the feet, and he's on top of him and picking up where he left off with a series of punches on the man!! The crowd's going berserk, but I don't think that they realize that Zack's not eliminated: he has to go OVER the TOP ROPE and hit the floor to be eliminated...
Dave - But those shots that Zed's hitting him with aren't love taps in the wake of St. Valentine's Day, Rick! Will Zack be able to continue once he's returned to the ring?
Rick - Well, in the name of fairness, he SHOULD get whatever time he wants on the outside to recover... The refs trying to break this ringside melee up... Zed finally getting off of a not bloody Zack Logan- but he's pulling him up- THROWS him back into the ring! Zack's not going to get the CHANCE to recover at ALL, Dave!
Rick - You're not kidding!! Slasher's not wasting any time, and he's pulling him up! Drunkaholic and Valentine mixing it up, leaving Peterson alone, and he's approaching Slasher and yelling something at him.. Slasher nodding at Kevin Peterson- they're pulling Zack Logan up- sending him to the ropes- Holy MACKEREL!!! There goes Zack!!
Pattera - Zack "Blue Thunder" Logan has been eliminated!
Dave - Unbelievable!! Slasher and "The Gold Dragon" with a DOUBLE SUPERKICK there into Zack Logan's chest, and that impact EASILY pushed the near seven-footer over the top rope!
Rick - And now we're seeing the temporary alliance breaking apart- Slasher's joining Valentine in taking Drunkaholic on, and Peterson's moving in on Rudos- Rudos was taking control in the struggle with Michaels, but the Dragon might be tipping the scales here- Locking up with Rudos to give his friend a breather...
Dave - Drunkaholic down courtesy of Slasher getting involved with a solid forearm, and now Drunk having little luck in returning to his feet while being stomped down by Valentine and Slasher!
Rick - What a match this has been so far!
Dave - It's what the fans expect to see from athletes of this level, Rick! Planet Wrestling came to this inter-federational event to show just who's at the top of the United Wrestling Promotion AND the wrestling world, and I have a feeling that any fans who DIDN'T know what Planet Wrestling's all about are finding out just what kind of competitors that our illustrious roster is sporting!
Rick - You go that right, Dave! Nowhere else will you see action like this, folks! ONLY in Planet Wrestling!!
Dave - No doubt about it. This match has been AWESOME so far, and we STILL have six competitors left!
Rick - I think we're going to be seeing more eliminations soon, though, Dave: these guys... and valentine too... well, they've been running on overdrive since the opening bell rang, Dave, and especially with a steel chair having been involved, you KNOW that they have to be running out of gas soon.
Dave - That's what I'd think, too, Rick, but you have to remember the tenacity of men like Matt Michaels: the man went the *FULL* SIXTY MINUTES of Planet Wrestling's first ever Ironman/ Steel cage match! I'm not sure if ANYTHING can stop that man!
Rick - Yeah, but he doesn't have to be stopped in this match, Dave: just thrown out. Or maybe he might end up winning this thing, even. He's still taking a break now, though, while Kevin Peterson and Rudy Rudos are at an old fashion Mexican standoff... And on the other end of things, Drunkaholic- OH! Slasher rocks him with a forearm!! Now THIS is something: Drunkaholic doing what he can to keep some blood out of his eyes, but it doesn't seem to be having THAT big of an effect on the guy...
Dave - You have to wonder what's going through their minds at a time like this Rick- They've been through a lot to get to this point of the match, you can be sure that NO ONE wants to take a loss now!
Rick - I think that it's just going to be a matter or who just plain WANTS it more, Dave.
Dave - I can't argue with that. Waistlock applied by Slasher on Drunkaholic- TEARS him off the mat- DOWN in a German suplex! What an INCREDIBLE strength demonstration by this newcomer, Slasher, Rick!
Rick - He's showing a lot of promise already, Dave... Wouldn't it be something if he actually WON this match and the Trans World belt?!... In his FIRST EVER MATCH!
Dave - Now THAT would be something... It's be UNHEARD OF, in fact! The closest anyone's ever come to that was back in the days of the E-WCW, when "Sycophant" Sid weaseled his way into a Trans World Title match in only his second match, and won! But NEVER has anyone won it on their FIRST outing in this league!
Rick - There's a first time for everything, Dave!
Dave - There's no doubt about that! Drunk now up to a knee and using the ropes to pull himself up, while Slasher and Valentine just keep hammering at him, but he's in a dangerous position, there... But on the flipside of things it's Rudy Rudos having some trouble as he was just taken off his feet by Kevin Peterson! Matt Michaels with Rudos by the feet- rolls him over for the Boston crab!! And the Planet Wrestling crowd is loving this!
Rick - Rudos hardly has what you'd call a big fan following, Dave, and what can I say about Michaels except that the common fans goes bananas over this guy! The guys think he's great, the ladies love him, and I have to admit: it's hard NOT to like and respect the man! But I'll be that "The King of the Barrio Streets" Rudy Rudos isn't REAL appreciative of the pressure that Matt's putting on his lower back with that crab right now!
Dave - No, and I'll bet he's not going to like it when Peterson drops down on him either- DOWN with the legdrop across the back of the neck!
Rick - Nice work there by Peterson for the tandem move! These two are working great together, Dave, and with the trouble they're giving Rudy, and with the pickle that Drunkaholic's in with Val and Slasher, I have to guess that it's going to be one of them two in the ring when all's said and done...
Dave - You may well be right, there, Rick: they have a good chance, that's for sure! But speaking of Drunkaholic, he's definitely got his hands full at the moment, as we're seeing some impromptu teamwork here between Valentine Jansen and the newcomer rookie, Slasher. Heck, they're working together almost as effectively as Michaels and Peterson have been... Just look at this: Valentine holding Drunkaholic wide open, while Slasher pretty much MUGS Drunkaholic with some deadly punches to the head and body! Drunkaholic's face has been turned into a crimson mask as a result of the punishment he's taken in this match, folks, and Slasher making sure that the blood doesn't have time to dry!
Rick - I'm sure that beating a defenseless punk was one of his specialties back when he was with the Angels, Dave, so I'd bet that Slasher feeling RIGHT at home while he turns Drunkaholic into jelly...
Dave - Be that as it may, they still have to eliminate the man... And I think Valentine may be calling for that right now... Maybe not... She's holding Drunkaholic down, and telling Slasher to go to the top! Slasher not sure about this, but Valentine insisting...
[The crowd cheers wildly.]
Dave - He's going for it! Slasher to the turnbuckles and making his ascent... He's on the top- but Valentine up- OH!!! She bumped the ropes, causing Slasher's family jewels to have a meeting with the turnbuckle! That TURNCOAT!
Rick - Hey, Dave! Cut the gal a break! It's pretty much anything goes and every man AND woman for themselves in there, and her case is NO different!
Dave - I should have known that she'd show her true colors when the opportunity came, I guess... And now she's up there looking for the elimination on Slasher and trying to just hammer the man off the top! Forearm shot after forearm shot to the head, though, and Slasher JUST WON'T FALL!!
Rick - Val's not seeing that his foot's tangled on the turnbuckle, Dave: if she'd just shove him the OTHER way, she'd have him!
Dave - Doesn't matter, because she's going for something else, now! Valentine looking to superplex Slasher ONTO the prone Drunkaholic!!! Here she goes- NO! Slasher fighting back! Trying for a superplex to the outside- but it's blocked! Valentine- WITH THE SUPERPLEX- OH!!!
Rick - Holy SMOKES! Drunk got out of harm's way JUST in time, Dave!
Dave - That he did, Dave, but it didn't lessen the impact on Slasher any... The damage he's taken in this match to this point must be taking it's toll.
Rick - Well, there's nothing quite like a superplex to make the hurt kick in.
Dave - I don't doubt it! And Valentine looks like she's going to take advantage of Slasher bell being rung- hailing down on him now with a series of shots to the face... Getting to her feet and running to the ropes- springboard- LANDS the moonsault!! Great move!
Rick - She's a quick little fox, Dave, that's for sure! But will it be enough to take out BOTH Michaels and Peterson?
Dave - I think she has the same thing in mind, Rick: she's sneaking in on the duo, who are really dropping some bombs on Rudos... I don't think they see her at all... Valentine slipping in- HELLO! Crossface chickenwing on Michaels! Matt Michaels taken COMPLETELY offguard here, and is struggling like he's just been set on fire! Peterson after Valentine, OH!!! But he's hit with a low blow kick by Rudos!! Peterson clutching at his nether-regions and collapsing to the canvas...
Rick - I think I can speak for every male in the audience and at home, even the NON-regular Planet Wrestling viewers, when I say "Ouch".
Dave - I'm with you on that one.
Rick - Michaels though, with nowhere to run! Valentine has that crossface chickenwing locked on TIGHT! And if Matt gets too close to the ropes, you know that Val'll be more than happy to try to throw him over to the floor...
Dave - Michaels still doing what he can to work his way out, though- down to one knee!
Rick - That's an excruciating hold, Dave! He'll be lucky if Val doesn't make him pass out from it..
Dave - But Michaels holding on somehow! These fans are behind him, and it's as if he's drawing off all of their energy and channeling it into his own body! Michaels looks like he's convulsing, as he gets to his feet, as if the pure ELECTRICITY coming from the fans is coursing through his veins! Michaels on the move and Valentine having to adjust her footing- Michaels-OH MY GOD!!!!
[The fans jump to their feet, going absolutely ballistic at what they just saw.]
Rick - Well, hello Highlight of the NIGHT! Michaels was shifting his weight like he was in an earthquake, and it PAYED OFF IN SPADES! He was able to get Val up in a sort of one-handed fireman's carry, and then... THEN he jacked her jaw with what you could call a Samoan neckbreaker, I guess. And BOY was it spectacular!
Dave - And it did the trick, too, that's for sure! But NEVER have I seen a move quite like that one, Rick! What an awesome match!!!!
Rick - I said it before and I'll say it again, folks: You'll only see action like THIS in the PW!
Dave - And the plot thickens: Michaels is laying in the middle of the ring trying to return to his senses, with Valentine lying beside him, and Drunkaholic has come back to life ladies and gentlemen: and with Peterson ALREADY having trouble with "The King of the Barrio Street" Rudy Rudos, Drunkaholic's joining in on the beat-down just now spells trouble for the man from Augusta, Maine...
Rick - You got that right! Rudy and Drunk each grabbing a leg! Make a wish- OH!! That's GOT to hurt!
Dave - Rudos and Drunkaholic, now, stomping away at "The Gold Dragon" Kevin Peterson!! Uh-oh: Rudy Rudos climbing to the top rope: will Drunkaholic take him out the way Valentine tried to do with Slasher?.... Rudos from the top- SENTON BOMB dropped on Kevin Peterson!! What an excellent High-Risk maneuver!
Rick - And it might just do the trick, too, Dave: Drunkaholic scraping Kevin up and scooping him up- here he goes- no! Drunk's hanging Peterson upsidedown from the turnbuckles for the Tree of Woe! And Rudy's adding insult to the predicament by STANDING on Peterson's crotch, and DRIVING his feet down even harder by pulling himself down into that tender spot by using the ropes! And all you have to do is listen to Peterson's agonizing screams to realize the kind of pain he's in, folks!
Dave -And now Drunkaholic charging in- BASEBALL SLIDE, RIGHT to the kisser!! This is disgusting!!
Rick - Peterson falling from his hanging position... Slasher's regained his senses, and it's turning into bad news for Michaels in a hurry, as Matt was just put into a scorpion deathlock by the Hell's Angels exile...
Dave - And things going from bad to worse for Peterson, too! Drunkaholic pulling him off the mat- whips him to the ropes- and there he goes!
Pattera - "The Gold Dragon" Kevin Peterson has been eliminated!
Rick - The Planet Wrestling fans and the fans in general not happy about that one, Dave! Drunk whipped Kev to the ropes, and Rudy pulled the top one down for the low bridge, causing Peterson to do a backflip to the floor. As much as I hate to say it, though, he'd taken too much punishment to go on much further anyway.
Dave - I don't know, Rick. But Valentine is back to her feet and shaking the cobwebs out. She sees Slasher with Michaels- OH!!! Running double-axehandle to the BACK OF SLASHER'S *HEAD* there by Valentine Jansen! What a dirty move!
Rick - It's what it takes to win matches like these, Dave.
Dave - I can't say that I agree with you... Good, solid tactics can win a battle royal just as well as underhanded methods can. They just take more skill to pull off.
Rick - We'll just have to wait and see about that...
Dave - Slasher getting to his feet and rubbing his head, but Rudos and Drunkaholic once again getting involved after Peterson's elimination... Valentine backing off. Drunkaholic hauling slasher up off the canvas while Rudos lays the boots into Slasher's body!
Rick - But backing off MAY NOT be in Val's best interest, here, Dave. With Matt and Slasher being the only two others in there who might put up a resistance to the Rudos and Drunkaholic doubleteam efforts, she may want to try to keep Michaels and Slasher around, if for no other reason than to try to GET RID of either Drunk or Rudy Rudos.
Dave - Good point, there, Rick. And I think Valentine's sharing your sentiment to some degree, only she's attacking Rudos, and seems to be looking to do the job herself!
Rick - Not an easy order, that's for sure! Rudos has had his own troubles during the course of this match: he has to be feeling the effects of the punishment his body's been taking by now, for SURE!
Dave - And he's showing it, too: getting sloppy on the defense as Valentine taking over on the situation! Knife-edge chop on Rudos, and he left himself wide open for that one! But Rudos firing back- Valentine with the go-behind waistlock on the dodge! Rudos worming out and sneaks behind for the waistlock- Valentine fighting it with a back elbow! But Rudos ducked it and Valentine spinning around- taken to the mat with a double-leg takedown from Rudos! Rudos tucking the ankles in- CATAPULTING VALENTINE- NO!! But the momentum just sent her flipping upsidedown and INTO the ropes, and was enough to put her over the top quite yet!
Rick - She'd better be thanking her lucky stars on that one!
Dave - Drunkaholic now pulling both Slasher and Michaels to their feet- OH! Bashes their heads together like a couple of coconuts! And taking pleasure in it, too, Rick! Look at him hamming it up at their expense!
Rick - Yeah, Dave, but even after that one, Michaels is somehow looking just THAT much more alert! That noggin knocker may have been just the jolt he needed to come back to his senses, and that could be trouble for EVERYONE else in that ring.
Dave - We can only hope... Drunkaholic though with Slasher and- GOD!!! A palm to the NOSE on the biker from the drunken punk, Drunkaholic!!! What a NASTY move! That's just awful!
Rick - And look at the extra blood coming from Slasher's nostrils after that one, Dave: I think that Drunk just broke his nose! Talk about a trial by fire for your introduction into the world of professional wrestling!
Dave - You're not kidding! Though one has to admit that it's surprising that a complete NEWCOMER has lasted to the final five participants, Rick.
Rick - You got that right, Dave: choking on his own blood or not, Slasher deserves a big pat on the back for the intestinal fortitude he's shown to be able to compete with these veterans of the sport.
Dave - And now Rudy Rudos back on his feet and working on Valentine with a series of stomps, but with God as my witness, Valentine MUST be using her last reserves of energy, and she's struggling to get to her feet, Rick!
Rick - I don't know how she's doing it either, Dave! She's the smallest competitor that was in this match, and the only woman in there, but she's taken at least as much punishment as the guys have, and she's STILL fighting to stay in this one, even if Rudy's barely giving her a chance to breathe...
Dave - But Valentine is on her feet, Rick! Rudos though, just THROTTLING her with a series of chops and right hands! Valentine trying to cover up, but Rudos with impressive speed and power for this late into the match, and he's stinging her with each of his blows! Backing her into the turnbuckles, and Rudos just NOT letting up on the woman! Rudos with a step back- haymaker punch- but Valentine slipped out of there! From behind with a full nelson- Good GOD!!!! She took and bridged it into a dragon suplex to crush Rudos' head and upper back into the mat!!
Rick - But look at her now, Dave: that one took all she had left, and she's just LYING there, COMPLETELY exhausted! I'll bet that Ken's in the back and cheering her on after that great turnabout, but he HAS to be concerned about his wife's safety in there nonetheless...
Dave - I know that *I* would be, Rick, I can tell you that! Drunkaholic now, though, having some problems of his own, as a bloody Slasher's just popped him in the brow and busted ANOTHER small cut open!
Rick - Drunkaholic's looking like he's going to need a few more stitches after this one's over, Dave.
Dave - You're not kidding! He's looking like his face was dropped on LAND MINE, what with the mixture of dried and fresh blood! He's looking absolutely GHASTLY, but with every lacerating he's receiving, he just seems to get more revved up!
Rick - Firing back at Slasher again! But Slasher matching Drunk blow for blow! How can they be duking it out like this?! Drunkaholic now- OH!! Lunging clothesline there by Drunk to stagger Slasher! Drunk getting back to his feet... And he's up! Boot to the knee! Setting Slasher up, now... CRADLE PILEDRIVER by Drunkaholic!!! But the man looks exhausted, Dave!
Dave - You said it, Rick! He must be tiring from blood loss ALONE, not to mention everything he's been giving AND taking from the opening bell. But look at this! Matt Michaels seeing a chance here, and he's going to take it! Pulling Drunkaholic off the canvas is Michaels... standing Drunkaholic up- Side Russian legsweep by Matt Michaels! Michaels again to his feet and bringing Drunkaholic with him- whipped to the ropes by Michaels- Drunk on the rebound- CAUGHT WITH A SPINEBUSTER BY MICHAELS!!!
Rick - The crowd's loving this! Michaels looks like he's getting a rhythm back, and his opponents had better be on the lookout for him!
Dave - Michaels clapping to REALLY get the crowd into this one now, and they're going ballistic, Rick!
Rick - He'd better watch it, though: he doesn't want to blow his chance here by wasting time!
Dave - Michaels with Drunkaholic off the mat... Hooks the arms- DRIVES Drunkaholic's face down into the canvas!!
Rick - Let that dry, and we could practically have a PORTRAIT of Drunk on the mat, there...
Dave - But Michaels on his feet, and looking energized, even if he IS running on pure fumes and adrenaline!! Michaels pointing to the rafter, and I can't believe it! He's scaling the turnbuckles and going for the top! Michaels from the top rope- NO!!! Drunkaholic blocking the Michaels moonsault with his knees!! Michaels holding his ribs in OBVIOUS pain!
Rick - I think that Rudy seen what just happened, Dave, but he has his hands full with Val. She's got Rudy in the corner on the mat, Dave, and she's pressing her boot up on the man's throat to choke him out... She's a Jansen, alright!
Dave - [chuckles] Indeed she is. And just look at the color that Rudy turning! I can't see his face due to the mask, but his whole upper body is turning a shade that it really shouldn't be, folks...
Rick - But can you believe THIS, Dave?! Drunkaholic is getting to his feet, and bringing Michaels up with him... Backing his man into the corner, now- and he's sitting Matt up on the top turnbuckle! Following him up there, and I think that Drunk's looking for an elimination by just BEATING Michaels until he falls off the turnbuckles and to the floor! Drunk just RIVETING Michaels with punches- HOLY!! Matt just threw a punch of his own! Drunk didn't see that coming! OH!! And Michaels with another shot!
Dave - They're battling it out on the top, and the fans are going... they going-
Rick - They going totally APE-SHIT is what they're doing, Dave!! Not a damn ONE of them has their butt in their seat, and they can't believe what they're seeing!
Rick - Michaels hammers home a right! And another! But Drunkaholic hooking in a big left! Michaels teetering! Drunk with a body blow and that REALLY rocked Michaels! Michaels holding onto the rope with his right hand for dear life, and Drunkaholic's taking FULL advantage and just blasting away at him with lefts and rights allOVER the place!! Michaels-
Dave - Wait!! From behind it's Slasher! Slasher hooking Drunkaholic- CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB FROM THE TOP BY SLASHER ON DRUNKAHOLIC!!! And he folded the man's spine up like an ACCORDION!! Michaels falling back into the ring, and he'll have Slasher to thank for THAT save!
Rick - Michaels still in this one, but holy MOLEY that was a close call! And the fans are really getting behind Slasher, who's taking care of Drunkaholic now.
Dave - How can you BLAME them Rick? The man's been putting in a supreme effort, and he just lent a hand to the "Ice Man"! He's OK in my book, that's for sure!
Rick - Drunk is moving back to his feet. Slasher with a punch right between the eyes puts the drunk punk down on his back! Slasher off the ropes- drops the elbow on Drunkaholic!
Dave - And again, it's Slasher conserving energy and letting Drunkaholic get to his feet on his own power- Slasher right in there- My LORD!!! Hurricanrana by Slasher!!
Rick - Holy! I didn't expect to see THAT from a biker!
Dave - Apparently the man has more tricks up his sleeve than we thought, Rick! But where is he getting the energy to DO moves like that?... Pulling Drunkaholic up now and leading him over to the corner- and he's propping him up on the turnbuckles!
Rick - And get a load of this capacity crowd's reaction, Dave! It's nothing short of DEAFENING!!!
Dave - Slasher on the top with a hurricanrana- NO!!!!!!! POWERBOMB REVERSAL BY DRUNKAHOLIC FROM THE TOP, and he TWISTED IT enough in MIDAIR to put Slasher over the ropes, and propel him onto the apron and to the floor!! UnbeLIEVABLE!!!
Pattera - Slasher has been eliminated!
Rick - That HAS to be one of the most unbelievable moves I've ever seen, Dave. Drunkaholic taking his licks, but BOY, did he come up HUGE on that INCREDIBLE move!
Dave - But the crowd is just ADMONISHING him for it! They were really starting to get to behind Slasher, and Drunkaholic ended their cheers by eliminating the man.
Rick - And talk about being ELIMINATED!! He'll be feeling the effects of THAT powerbomb for a while, THAT'S for sure, Dave.
Dave - Indeed he will, but he really has a lot to be proud of after this match, because for his first outing, he performed absolutely INCREDIBLY!
Rick - But we still have three men and a woman left in the ring, Dave, and I guarantee that Slasher won't be the last body to leave that ring tonight...
Dave - And speaking of that woman, she's STILL alternating between choking the life out of Rudy Rudos, and stomping his body in the corner, using the leverage of the ropes. Valentine, though now, climbing to the second rope.. What's she doing? Hopping off- SWINGS down into a sort of modified dropkick planting her feet RIGHT into Rudos' chest!
Rick - And you can tell that knocked the wind out of him, too, Dave. Just look at the man holding his ribs and gasping for air... Dave - Valentine looking over her shoulder after that move, but there's not a whole lot of movement coming from either Matt Michaels or the Drunkaholic. Valentine back to the stomp, but Rudos caught her by the foot! By the tights- OH!! He yanked her down and into the turnbuckle face-first!!
Rick - No, no! Not her face!!
Dave - A desperate counter there by Rudos, but a good one, nonetheless... Valentine looking a bit dazed and checking her lip for blood, but it merely appears to be swollen... Rudos struggling to his feet, but Valentine there to meet him- OH!! And an underhanded gouge to the eyes of Valentine to stun her again!
Rick - Rudy's doing everything he can think of to buy himself some recovery time, here, Dave... And so far it's working like a charm!
Dave - But look to the middle of the ring, now, Rick: Drunkaholic getting up to his feet, and Matt Michaels not far behind! Drunkaholic on his feet before Michaels and changing, but Michaels up- boot to the midsection- OH!!! And Michaels hits Drunkaholic with an over-the-shoulder jawbreaker!!
Rick - And in the corner, Rudos with Val by the back of the tights- RAMS her shoulder through the ropes and into the ringpost!! "The King of the Barrio Streets" Rudy Rudos mounting a comeback!...
Dave - But Michaels move in: boot to the midesction on Rudos to double him over- DDT!!! Michaels with the DDT on Rudy Rudos! Michaels is on FIRE, and now he's pulling up Valentine! Valentine injured, but trying to crawl her way to the middle of the ring to avoid elimination at the hands of the "Ice Man", but Michaels has her, and the fans are going mental!! Michaels with a standing headscissor- pickup- DOWN with the powerbomb!!!
Rick - Some were hoping for a Chill Factor, but I can't even believe Matt had enough left in him for a POWERBOMB, much less the Chill Factor!
Dave - And the crowd on their feet, as they see where Michaels is headed! Michaels to the corner and slowly ascending to the top!
Rick - He should be playing it smarter, Dave: he's wasting time, and he might just be getting another set of knees to those ribs that he's already holding onto in pain!
Dave - Michaels definitely not setting any speed records on his way to the top, but the fans are behind him one hundred percent! He may need this to put someone away!... He's up there, but what's he going to DO?!?!! Matt Michaels- up aaand DOWN on Drunkaholic with a HUGE splash from the top!!!!
Rick - My GOD! Did you see the HANGTIME he got on that leap?! That was unREAL!! But Matt's clutching those ribs HARD, Dave, and though Drunk's doing the very same with his, you have to wonder if it was worth it or not...
Dave - I hear you, Rick. Michaels undoubtedly in tremendous pain from that body-on-body collision, but at least Drunkaholic wasn't able to counter. The audience rallying behind Michaels now...
crowd - Ice-MAN! Ice-MAN!! Ice-MAN!!! ICE-MAN!!!
Dave - And Michaels responding! He's getting to his feet! Pulling Drunkaholic up off the canvas... and now backing him to the ropes! Michaels backing off and taking a moment to catch his breath before attempting the elimination!
Rick - No no! Look out from behind!! Rudy Rudos- has him by the head- OH No! Over-the-shoulder NECKBREAKER from Rudos! And Drunkaholic now working up a debt to Rudos.
Dave - You're not kidding! I though we were going to see the punk eliminated for SURE! Michaels was SO CLOSE-
Rick - Yeah, but close only counts in horseshoes, Dave, or so I'm told, anyway. Drunkaholic is still alive in this one, but Matt Michaels may have a little trouble with Rudy Rudos now...
Dave - Michaels trying to get away from a Rudos stomp-fest, and making it to the ropes to pull himself up- OH!!! But a dropkick to the knee from Rudy Rudos puts him right back down! Ne Jersey's first luchador REALLY tearing Michaels apart piece by piece, here...
Rick - You know that he has to be trying to soften him up for elimination, Dave. Rudos pulling Matt back up again...
Dave - Valentine keeping an eye on Rudos and assessing the situation, but now she's seeing that Drunkaholic must be injured, and she's moving in on him- kick to the midsection! And a knee to the face to put the punker down! Valentine off the ropes- drops the leg down onto Drunkaholic's throat!
Rick - Rudos with Michaels- hops up for a headlock- swinging- TORNADO DDT by Rudos!!! Michaels down, Dave, and I have to say that after that move, he HAS to be out! And Rudos getting real vocal in there after that move, Dave, and I think he's going to go for the elimination on Matt...
Dave - Rudy Rudos pointing at Michaels and taunting the crowd as he yanks the man to his feet, and they're really letting him have it, Rick!
Rick - All his antics aside, Rudy can still be a real jerk sometimes, Dave, that's for sure. We've just not been getting as good a sense of it lately since he's been squaring off against other less-than-likeable characters, like Ken Jansen... Dave - I suppose you have a point! But Rudos with Michaels- picks him up for a powerbomb- he's running with it- holy crap! OH!!!!!!
Pattera- "Ice Man" Matt Michaels has been eliminated!
[The crowd boos furiously.]
Rick - Rudy Rudos there with a running powerbomb TO THE OUTSIDE and more importantly putting Matt Michaels THROUGH the Spanish announcer's ringside table!! Matt just crashed through that thing and reduced it to SPLINTERS, Dave!
Dave - And the crowd showing Rudos their lack of appreciation for his actions, too. Michaels was their only real favorite left in this thing, and you KNOW that they wanted to see him win.
Rick - Damn right they did. And not to take away from Valentine or Drunkaholic or Rudy Rudos, but I'd have rather seen him win, too. But not this time around, and better luck next time and all of that kind of stuff, I guess. But as you said, Dave, we're down to the final three!
Dave - And one of those three, Valentine, is on top of Drunkaholic right now and battering Drunkaholic with furious punches! Rudos sees her and over- TEARS her off of Dunkaholic! Rudy Rudos is looking like a man possessed in there, like he just leached all of the energy that Michaels had when he tossed him over or something! Rudos snapping Valentine up off the canvas- OH!! Big knife edge chop right across the collarbone! Valentine with a kick on Rudos' ribs! Rudos rifles back a right hand on Valentine! These two battling back and forth for all they're worth, and the crowd is starting to favor Valentine somewhat, Rick!
Rick - Why not? She's definitely a lot less hard on the eyes than Rudy, especially with that new tie-dyed shirt of his! OH! And a rake to the eyes by Val! Woo-hoo!
Dave - Don't encourage her, Rick.
Rick - But Rudy did it to her earlier. It's fair game, Dave.
Dave - [sighs.] Valentine now taking control of the situation with Rudos- ducking under the arm- NORTHEN LIGHTS SUPLEX by Valentine! And perfect execution on it at that.
Rick - Nice bridge, too.
Dave - Keep your mind on the match and off her chest, Rick.
Rick - What? Me?
Dave - Valentine now on Rudos and raining the punches down!!I hate to think of the possibilities, but if Valentine wins this match and Jansen eventually claims the PW World Heavyweight belt... Ugh. Try not to think about it...
Rick - But Valentine doesn't see Drunk coming in- GOD!!! he just PLOWED into her head with a HUGE boot from behind! Brutal!! Val could be looking at a concussion from that blow alone!
Dave - And it's about to get worse, Rick: I smell a Rudy Rudos and Drunkaholic double team coming up REAL soon... Drunkaholic for now, though, going at it alone and picking up what's left of Valentine up off the mat- buckling her knees down- hooking her up- oh MY!! Drunkaholic with a rolling SURFBOARD on Valentine! Listen to the woman scream!
Rick - Jansen must be tearing his HAIR out in the back, Dave! Drunkaholic's playing this REAL smart though: he's giving Rudy plenty of time to recover with Val in a hold like this!
Dave - But that doesn't make it any less excruciating, Rick- Valentine's insides must feel like they're on FIRE from the pressure that Drunkaholic's putting on her!
Rick - You really have to give credit to Drunkaholic though, Dave: with the way the man looks, you might expect pure, unorthodox brawling from the guy, but when the chips are down, he shows just about anyone that he's one heck of a fine wrestler, too. And like I said, that was enough for Rudy to catch his breath, and we're seeing Drunk letting go on the hold... He's saying something to Rudy, but I didn't quite make out what... Drunkaholic picking Valentine up and Rudy Rudos is climbing to the top, folks what are we going to see here? Drunk lifting Rudos- OH!!! And a SPIKE PILEDRIVER ON VALENTINE!!!
Dave - Is that a banned move?!
Rick - No, but it should be, Dave! It's just TOO easy to break someone's neck with that kind of move! I hope Val's okay...
Dave - For her sake, so do I, but Rudy Rudos and Drunkaholic just DON'T seem to care! Rudy Rudos once again taunting the fans, and standing Valentine up- OH!!! And there's that low dropkick to the knee again by Rudos! He's dismantling Valentine JUST like he did Michaels, and he's LOVING it, Rick.
Rick - That's because not ONLY is he getting to beat on Valentine, but he must know that he's ALSO driving her husband absolutely BANANAS in the back, PLUS he's getting to fulfill Drunkaholic's prophecy of it being a Rudos and Drunk finale to this match!
Dave - I guess you're right! He must be riding cloud NINE right now! Rudos climbing to the turnbuckles while Drunkaholic stand Valentine up-
Rick - Rudy Rudos hooking on a front facelock for the tornado DDT- here it is- Holy- NO!!! WOW!!!
Pattera - Rudy Rudos has been eliminated!!! [The crowd cheers wildly to show its approval.]
Rick - WOW! Valentine must have seen THAT one coming, Dave, because SOMEHOW she found the reserves to SHOVE Rudos off while he was on the "tornado" part of the tornado DDT, and she sent him sailing out of the ring like a uncooked piece of pizza dough!!
Dave - And it's down to Valentine versus Drunkaholic! Rudos, on the outside is OUTRAGED at his elimination, but a pair of referees holding him back, and now security escorting him away from the ring, to make SURE he doesn't get involved in this one any further. And Drunkaholic can't BELIEVE what he just saw, let me tell you.
Rick - Yeah, but he must be just a LITTLE relieved: not having to face Rudy to end this, and having to take on an already beaten-up Valentine is FAR more in his best interest, in all likelihood...
Dave - And Drunkaholic returning to the offensive mode, with a kneedrop down onto an exhausted Valentine! Drunkaholic pulling her back up- sets her up- BRAINBUSTER!!!
Rick - And if her neck wasn't injured before, it's GOTS TA' BE NOW! Drunkaholic looking great here, and this really has to be it for Valentine...
Dave - I'd have to agree with you there: she's been through Hell and back in this match, and though she put in a tremendous effort, with Drunkaholic in complete control right now, I just can't see her possibly fighting back for a win.
Rick - Drunk hauling her carcass off the mat and dragging her toward the ropes... It's like he's hauling dead weight around in there, Dave: I hope Valentine's OK... I mean, she could be PARALYZED after what was done to her...
Dave - I'm sure the EMTs will be getting her in for examination as soon as the bell rings, that's for sure.
Rick - And to show just how concerned I am, normally I'd make a crack at a comment like that, Dave, but she could really be seriously hurt in there...
Dave - Hello! I can't believe what I'm seeing, but Drunkaholic was about to flip Valentine's leg over the ropes for the elimination, and, well, the woman is actually FIGHTING BACK!! Valentine holding on for dear life, as Drunkaholic is using what he has left to try to shove her over! Drunkaholic letting go and with two hands full of Valentine's hair- DRILLS her back in and to the mat!
[The crowd boos Drunkaholic.]
Rick - Youch! Drunkaholic thought he had it, but he's getting visibly frustrated here, with Val still fighting back! And now he's just stomping the LIFE out of poor Valentine in the middle of the ring! He MUST be wondering what it's going to take to put this match away....
Dave - Oh no! It looks like the lightbulb just came on for that very idea, Rick: Drunkaholic's going upstairs! Getting his balance on the top turnbuckle- SWANDIVE HEADBUTT-
Rick - NOBODY HOME!!!!! VALENTINE ROLLING OUT OF THE WAY!!! UnbeLIEVABLE!!!
Dave - You're not kidding! And Valentine getting a standing ovation for that dodge!! Both of these tremendous athletes are down and look absolutely EXHAUSTED! Will they even be ABLE to go on?!
Rick - I have no clue, Dave. To be honest, I don't know how they POSSIBLY could even THINK of doing so. But crazier things have happened...
Dave - And I can't believe this either, folks!! Valentine Jansen now actually getting to her feet, and going to the ropes... Following them along for balance, now, but my God: she can't be thinking of-
Rick - God GOD, she IS!!! Valentine's climbing the corner!! What on EARTH does she think she's doing?!
Dave - She's having a rough time pushing herself up there, but she's giving it her best shot, Rick... first turnbuckle...... aaaaaand the second.... Valentine, with a cut on her lip now, I can only guess what might have openned her up, but she IS bleeding... She's looking for the top- And I CAN'T believe my eyes, ladies and gentlemen... Drunkaholic is returning to his feet!
Rick - I think that Val may have been looking for Ken's Heartstopper, but Drunk's getting up, and she BLEW her chance, Dave!
Dave - You may be right, Rick. Drunkaholic turning around- wait! Valentine- HOLY KERMOLY!!!! EXPLODING KEGGAR! EXPLODING KEGGAR!! THAT'S *DRUNKAHOLIC'S* MOVE!!!
Rick - And Valentine just pulled that somersault neckbreaker off like she OWNED the thing, Dave!!! WOW!! Valentine on the comeback trail!
Dave - But once again, both grappler down for the count! It could all come down to a matter of who gets up first!... And by the name of all that's holy, Valentine is already up to her hands and knees!
Rick - It's like we said, Dave: in a match like this, it can all come down to who wants it worst, and right now, I can tell that Valentine can practically SMELL the Trans World Championship AND that UWP shot against the men!
Dave - But will she even be able to COMPETE in that match?
Rick - That's what I've been told-
Dave - No, no. I mean, will she be FIT to WRESTLE in that match?
Rick - Crap. I never even thought of that...
Dave - And Valentine hot for a win now, as she's made it back to her feet and is pulling Drunkaholic over to the ropes. And I dare say that the drunk's goose is cooked!
Rick - Val propping him up against the ropes and trying to lift Drunk's legs over the ropes, but this is IMPOSSIBLE: Drunkaholic is actually FIGHTING it!! This is AMAZING!
Dave - Only in Planet Wrestling, Rick. Only in Planet Wrestling... Valentine now letting Drunkaholic down and shoving him to the canvas! Maybe she doesn't have enough gas left in the tank to finish Drunkaholic off, Rick...
Rick - No she doesn't, Dave, but heck, the last five or six wrestlers had been running on empty for EVER now, and we've seen them pull off some near-miraculous feats! She HAS to be able to do it too! She's down on her knees now trying to catch her breath and collect her energy... and there she is, RIGHT back up! Pulling Drunkaholic off the mat in a front facelock- Ho HO!! And look at this! Valentine pointing at that maple leaf on her singlet, like we've seen her husband do so MANY times before! She's actually rubbing this in! Valentine now signaling to the crowd: I think she's going for the Dynamite Driver!! Valentine with Drunk up- NO! Drunk's foot got tangled in the ropes- and look out- BACK BODY DROP BY DRUNKAHOLIC- AND THIS ONE'S OVER!!!!!
[The bell rings.]
Pattera - valentine has been eliminated!!!... Ladies and Gentlemen, Here is your winner, and NEEEEEEEEEEEEEW Planet Wrestling Trans World Champion, Drunkahooooooooolic!!!
Dave - What an unbelievable finish, folks! Valentine ALMOST executed her finisher, the Dynamite Driverlevated DDT, but Drunkaholic, whether by presence of mind of by pure chance, SOMEHOW managed to squeak out the victory...
Rick - Planet Wrestling referee Danny Dickson stepping into the ring to raise Drunkaholic's hand in victory and hand him the Trans World Championship gold, folks! And I have to give this man credit: he came back after being out of Planet Wrestling for months, and managed to claim PW gold in his VERY FIST match back! So much for rung rust!
Dave - You're not kidding! He'll have to go to the back for multiple stitches now, but after that ONSLAUGHT of punishment that this man went through, how can he POSSIBLY be up to a match against two FRESH, elite wrestlers in Anderson and Lionheart? How can he POSSIBLY hope to compete?
Rick - I have no idea, Dave, but I can tell you that Drunkaholic's crazy, and that if he can even make it to the ring for that match, that he'll be there, and maybe he'll even be ready somehow...
[The shot fades out, then back in to a backstage area of the Planet Dome, where David Deyo stands.]
Dave - Hope you liked our special presentation... It has been tentatively announced that the winner of that match, Drunkaholic, will be going on to face the winner of a TNT vs CWA elimination tournament, which is to take place at the UWP's "Southern Explosion", an event re-scheduled for the month of June. This will be instead of going toe-to-toe with Lionheart and Anderson, but will still be a match for the UWP World Grand Unified Heavyweight Championship, involving the drunken punk himself! I know that I, for one, can't wait! I hope you enjoyed our special re-airing presentation. But we're just moments away for the startup time for PW Shockwave, ladies and gentlemen, so I have to get a move on! For Planet Wrestling and the United Wrestling Promotions, I'm David Deyo. Don't touch that dial, and stay tuned for Shockwave!!
