(From the Palace Of Auburn Hills in Detroit, Michigan)
The camera pans in to an overhead shot of The Palace Of Auburn Hills, from this advantage point we can see thousands of people streaming toward the building. A different camera shot is then shown of a closer look at these crazy fans. Some are wearing "Just Zoo It!" T-Shirts or ballcaps that say "Scratch Dat!" A few fans shake their signs in front of the camera such as "I Want To Tickle Pickle!" or "Croc Go Back To Oz!" Suddenly, "Goldberg's Theme" begins playing and clips of various RAWF Superstars in psychodelic effects alternate with pictures of knights of old and castles of England. Then the Conquest logo appears and the camera pans out to a half full Palace. The stage is bedecked in classic castle style, with two high turrets on each side of the Radi-tron. The entryway is actually a drawbridge that is at the moment closed. We see a wide pit between the entryway and the ramp, that when the drawbridge opens, will be covered. The ring is covered in gray tarp and the Conquest logo adorns center ring. Spotlights now shine on the ring. The camera then switches to your hosts for the Pre-Show ...Stevie Midnight and Jessica Beach!! Stevie is dressed in a black Armani suit and Jessica in a red lace mini-dress. They are up in one of the skyboxes in the Palace overlookiung the whole setup below.
Stevie: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to MTV's Conquest Pre-Show!!! I'm Stevie Midnight alongside of the lovely and talented Jessica Beach and we are only a half hour away from the start of what promises to be a historical night in the world of professional wrestling!! Jessica, tonight we get to see the King Of RAWF versus the World Champion of RAWF! The current Triple Crown Champion Blake Zulu challenges Alex Layne for the biggest prize in wrestling!!
Jessica: Stevie what makes this match even more exciting is that both men are UNDEFEATED in RAWF competition!!! Neither man has yet to suffer a loss! This isn't just for all the marbles as far as the World Title is concerned, but for the right to claim they ARE the best RAWF has to offer!!
Stevie: And for both men, their sucess really peaked one month ago at Triple Crown! On May 11th in Miami Alex Layne defeated the invincible Dirge to become the RAWF World Heavyweight Champion.....
((((((((((FLASHBACK - MAY 11, 2003 - TRIPLE CROWN))))))))))
Brad: Ooooooohhh...Dirge nearly had a successful defense in his grasp! Layne did the only thing he could to stay in the match!
Doc: If the big man gets up from that botched move...it is OVER! Layne moved at the last split...and I mean SPLIT second! He was that close to losing, and if Dirge gets up, Layne will still be that close to losing!
Brad: Dirge is what we call a "closer." If the match is in reach, he can close it out and get the win. Layne is fighting like hell, th---What is Layne doing now? He is going to the top rope...that was the mistake that got Dirge into trouble!
Alex waits until Dirge is on his feet, and sends him crashing down with a missile dropkick! Using nearly the rest of his energy reserves, Layne wraps his arms around the Heavyweight champion and applies a belly to belly suplex! Dirge stays down, and the crowd gets to its feet and cheers. With electricity seemingly crackling in th air, the challenger makes the sign for the SLS, and the fans explode in applause. Getting to their feet, and hoping to see what they have ben praying to see since Eruption, the fans witness Layne help Dirge to his feet, and, with the last of his reserves, perform the Slammin' Layne Style slam. Pictures go off, some fans start to weep with tears of joy, the challenger makes the cover...one!----two!----threeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Doc: I'm dreaming...I didn't just see Dirge get pinned did I?
Brad: If you are dreaming, then so am I...my God...WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!!!! Dirge is defeated! Dirge is defeated! Dirge has been BEATEN!!!!!
Stevie: And on that same night, Blake Zulu became the first ever Triple Crown Champion....
((((((((((FLASHBACK - MAY 11, 2003- TRIPLE CROWN))))))))))
Doc: Oohhh...I thought we had King Croc there for a second! Now that has a nice ring to it! King Pickle sounds like something that Vlasic makes, but what the hell. King Zoo sounds horrible, so come on guys, take care of him!
Pickles rejoins the fracas, and starts hammering on Zoo. Croc resumes hostilities with the man from California, too. Both men belt him with rights, lefts, kicks, and chops. Croc hoists him up, and powerslams him, while Pickles hits the Pickleator from the top rope! Pickles makes the cover...1-2-Croc pulls him off! Croc hip-tosses him away, and makes the cover on Zoo...1-2-Pickles drags him away! Croc and Pickles start punching each other. Croc hits a spinebuster on Pickles. Pickles comes back and nails a hammerlock body slam. Tearing into each other, they stop when they notice Blake Zulu getting back to his feet. Double teaming him some more, Croc sends him hard into the corner, then sends Pickles hard into Zoo. As Pickles runs into the corner, he turns the planned avalanche into a clothesline. Blake staggers out of the corner, and Pickles positions himself behind Zulu, holding him there for Croc. Croc steps up, and delivers the CrocKick! To Pickles! Because Zoo escaped Pickles' grasp. Pickles goes down, Blake dropkicks Croc, sending him halfway across the ring, where he falls, drained of energy. Blake drapes a eary arm over Pickles...1-2-3! The crowd gets to its feet in unison and gives Zoo a standing ovation Cameras flash like mad, aND the chants of "King Zoo! King Zoo!" fill the air...
Doc: Oh no, not King Zoo...Croc did the damage...give the Crown to him! What a terrible night...King Zoo of all things...this place IS a zoo, now. What started off as a good match, seeing as how Brad got hurt, turned out to have the worst possible ending. Damn!
Stevie: That was four weeks ago and since then both men have had hard battles defending those coveted championships. On May 26th, Alex Layne defended his World Title for the first time against Big Kahuna...
((((((((((FLASHBACK - MAY 26, 2003 - MONDAY NIGHT CHAOS))))))))))
Pickles had turned at the last moment and waffled Kahuna with the steel
chair. Kahuna hit the floor from sheer exhaustion from the match as
Pickles throws the chair out of the ring, and heads up the ramp, never
looking back. Layne gives Pickles an extremly odd look as he sees that Vice
is coming to. Layne slaps the Layne-mission on Kahuna as the referee picks B.K.'s arm up three times, only to see it drop three times. Vice calls for the bell! Layne celebrates and the crowd goes wild. Layne grabs the championship and raises it high. Going to all of the turnbuckles he poses while fans snap shots of the champ with the belt.
Doc: Travesty...TRA-VE-STY!! Highway wouldn't have allowed that crap! If the Commish had of been here, Pickles would've been thrown out! Vice did a lousy job!
Brad: He did a fantastic job! He can only call what he can see!
Kahuna comes to consciousness again, and sees Layne celebrating on the turnbuckle. Rolling out, he grabs a chair and gets into the ring. Swinging for home, he nails Vice. Hearing the chair shot, Layne turns around, and gets hit hard, the power of which knocks him over the top rope and onto the arena floor. The Hawaiian gets outside, grabs the strap, and puts it around his waist. With chair in hand so he can find Pickles, Kahuna starts walking up the ramp, stops, turns around and shouts at Vice, who has started to stand up..."I told you this was MINE!" He then stomps backstage to find Pickles.
Stevie: And just six days ago, Zoo also found himself in a grueling battle for his Crown against Big Kahuna and Croc...
((((((((((FLASHBACK - June 2, 2003 - MONDAY NIGHT CHAOS))))))))))
With the crowd cheering at a fever pitch ....Zoo leaps ....Kahuna, who just now managed to rise, pulls Croc off the table and Zoo crashes through it, breaking it in half. Zoo lies motionless. Kit throws her hands to her mouth in astonishment. Kahuna covers Zoo! Kit hesitates, still stunned ...but finally gets her bearings and makes the count. 1...2...
Brad: HE KICKED OUT!!! MERCIFUL GOD, HE KICKED OUT!!!
Doc: I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
Kahuna, with astonishment showing on HIS face now stands up and looks at the carnage of the table and Zoo. He glances over and sees Croc getting to his feet. Kahuna steps up and chops Croc back to the mat. Then Kahuna picks Zoo up and goes for a Tsunami!! But Zoo blocks the attempt and reverses it into a vertical suplex! Kahuna lands back first into the remnants of the table!! Croc and Zoo get up simultaneously and Croc goes for a Crockick, but Zoo ducks under it, grabs Croc by the back of the head and bulldogs him into the other half of the table!!!! The exhausted Triple Crown Champion climbs one more time to the top rope. He pauses there, with the crowd holding its breath! Then he leaps!
Brad: FROG SPLASH ON BOTH KAHUNA AND CROC!!!!!! MY GOD!! MY GOD!!! MY GOD!!!
Doc: UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
Zoo lies unconscious atop both men and Kit makes a count. 1....2....3!!!
Brad: HE DID IT!!! MY GOD HE DID IT!!! It will be ALEX LAYNE VS. BLAKE ZULU AT CONQUEST!!! BUT WILL ZOO HAVE ANYTHING LEFT AFTER TONIGHT?????
Stevie: And with that victory, Blake Zulu not only retained his Triple Crown, but also became the Number One Contender and earned himself a shot at the RAWF Heavyweight Championship!
Jessica: It must be pointed out Stevie, that if Blake Zulu DOES become World Champion tonight, he will not be allowed to keep the Triple Crown. Instead, the crown will once again be put up for grabs in some sort of tournament.
Stevie: It has definitely been a long hard road for Alex Layne. And tonight another leg of his journey continues in what could be the biggest match of his career. Standing by right now with the World Champion is Frank Manning ....Frank take it away!
Frank Manning is sitting down across from Alex Layne, who is in his wrestling attire with HIS RAWF World Title on his shoulder. He has a grin on his face as does Frank Manning, for different reasons more than likely.
Frank Manning: So Alex, you are facing Blake Zulu for that title here later tonight.
Alex Layne: Okay... Man, you need to tell me something I don't know already.
Frank Manning: Well Alex, I was going to ask your thoughts about all of it.
Alex Layne: My thoughts? Simple, Blake Zulu hasnt' done anything to prove he deserves the chance he has at the title. When he does, he could then get a shot. All he's done is get the Triple Crown Title and face some stupid opponents to get that undefeated streak. Did he face Dirge? Sure didn't...
Frank Manning: But still, undefeated is a good record.
Alex Layne: Okay, for that.... The interview is over, anything else that is going to be said will be my IN-RING promo... Get outta here.
Alex Layne grabs hold of Frank Manning and tosses him out of his locker room.
Stevie: A very confident Alex Layne as always Jess, but I have a feeling he knows this means more than just the World Championship.
Jessica: It's hard to tell behind that facade of his, but I have a gut feeling your right Stevie. I've just been told that Pickles and Adz are about recieve some sort of delivery. Can we get back there and see this??
A Palace valet, carrying two bottles of Guiness on a tray, walks up and knocks on Pickle's dressing room door. Pickles opens it a crack and his eyes go wide.
Pickle: Those for me?
Valet: Yes sir, I was told to deliver them.
He holds the tray out to Pickles who snatches the bottles and slams the door in the valet's face. We see Adz sitting nearby.
Adz: Hey, where did you get those???
Pickle: Hmm, one of them is for you and they both have cards on them. Here, take yours but don't drink the damn thing until after your match.
Adz takes his and they both read their cards.
Pickles: Mine says: "Pickles, told you if you managed to keep the belt last week, a drink was on me. I keep my word. Enjoy. -Kris "Shadow" Wayne". Wow, that's cool. What's yours say?
Adz: "Thanks for the win! - Kris Wayne"
Pickles steps up and slaps Adz in the head as the camera fades out.
Stevie: Let's take you through each match up and how...
�Disposable Teens� blasts over the loudspeaker as Apocalypse and
Disciple walking to the ring. Apocalypse is wearing a pair of beat up black
jeans, black leather boots, and a black leather jacket with a red shirt
underneath. His black and red hair is soaking wet and is falling in
front of his eyes with black paint making a line over each of them. They climb into the ring and Apocalypse grabs the mic.
Stevie: Apparently, Apocalypse has been given some unscheduled time here. I guess we have no choice but to listen and find out what's on his mind.
Apocalypse: Tonight, BlackJack Grier have a match. But this match is a
metaphor for the lives we have lived. While Grier's biggest decision is
whether to wear Old Navy or Abercrombie. Mine, was how to survive. Every
day, I had to fight for my right to live. BLACKJACK, YOU ARE GOING TO
LEARN WHAT IT TAKES TO LIVE. YOUR GOING TO KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO
FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE. I CHALLENGE YOU TO A NO DISQUALIFICATION MATCH!!!
Jessica: Well now...
Apocalypse: Falls count anywhere! Anything goes. Don�t thank me just yet. There�s an old saying Grier, �Win if you can, survive if I
let you.� Well, that doesn�t apply here. I WILL NOT let you pin me. I
WILL NOT SUBMIT! I WILL NOT GIVE YOU THE WIN. YOU CANNOT SURVIVE!!!! Tonight I send your carcass out on a gurney and your career shall be over!!!!
Apocalypse tosses down the mic and he and Disciple leave the ring and return backstage.
Jessica: Stevie, I have just been informed that Grier has accepted the stipulation and Kit has made it official. Blackjack Grier vs. Apocalypse will be a No Disqualification Match!!!
Stevie: Wow!! The slate just keeps getting better and better!! Conquest is only a few minutes away! And the only way you will see it is by calling your local cable company and ordering it!! But before Conquest officially begins, we have a treat in store! The RAWF Television Championship will be on the line in a Triple Threat Match! Pickles will defend the coveted strap against New Blood Member Zak Hackett and Commisioner Highway's new "Security Force"... "The Spiral" Jake December!! But before THAT happens, we need to talk about ANOTHER match that will happen tonight. Arsenal X, who some have called the best damn Ironman Champ in RAWF history will defend his title against Croc!
Jessica: And as we speak, Croc is getting ready to spin the Ironman Wheel to decide what type of match these two awesome athletes will wrestle in!
Stevie: Let's take you back to the interview area where Croc and CEO Kit are standing by!
Kit is standing with her arms folded next to the Ironman Wheel when Croc comes strolling into view, holding a dozen roses.
Croc: Hello Kitty.
Kit: Can the crap and spin the wheel sleazebag.
Croc holds out the roses to Kit.
Croc: At least accept these as a token of my respect for you dear Kit. The wheel can wait a moment, can't it?
Kit huffs, but takes the roses. She smells them and for a split second we see a trace of a smile on her face, but it disappears quickly.
Kit: Fine ... thank you. Now spin the damn wheel.
Croc: As you wish milady.
Croc does a knightly bow, then steps up to the wheel. Kit rolls her eyes as Croc gives the wheel a mighty spin. Around....and around ....and around it goes ...finally slowing ...slowing....slowing and stopping. The pointer rests on "Boiler Room".
Kit: Heheheheh. It appears you are going to have to get down and dirty in a Boiler Room match Croc.
Croc: Ah, but it will all be worth it. Once i have that Ironman Championship around my waist ....perhaps then you will show me some respect and honor my request for a late dinner?
Croc steps up and gets right in her face, causing her to lean back to try to get away from him. From stage right enters Arsenal X, who forces his way between the two and stands protectively in front of the RAWF CEO. Croc backs away sneering ...then smiles.
Croc: Another time perhaps.
Croc turns to leave ...then glances back at X.
Croc: See you in the Boiler Room....loser.
Croc leaves and Kit breathes a sigh of relief. X turns to her and she sneers.
Kit: Arsenal .... I want you to hurt him. No, no ...not just hurt him .... DESTROY HIM! His contract may state that he can't be fired for awhile, but what I can't fire .... I'll obliterate some other way! And YOU are that way Arsenal X. Do this for me and I'll ....well, I'll just be grateful. But my gratitude should be enough I would think.
Arsenal: It is Kit. It will be as you wish. Croc's career will end in the Boiler Room tonight!
X walks out, leaving Kit to look at the roses and throw them down in disgust. She walks away and the cameras return to the arena.
Stevie: WOW! Croc and Arsenal X will battle it out in a Boiler room match right here later tonight!! But you can only see it if you call your local cable company and order RAWF Conquest!!!
Jessica: And we would be remiss if we didn't mention all of the other great matchups on the card! In a battle for the World Tag Team Championship, Jarek Magnum and Shawn Dee of The Elite Establishment will defend the gold against Jza Rian and Seann Storm! The United States Champion Adz will defend his belt in a Triple Threat Match against Matt "Daddy" Higgerson and StreeX!
Stevie: I like Magnum and Dee to win the Tag match, but I've got to go with Matt "Daddy" here in his hometown of Detroit! Also on the card, Big Kahuna will take on G-Sex with Thomas Highway as the guest referee! Both men have had their problems with the RAWF Comissioner, but is there any way he can screw them both in the same match??? Blackjack Grier will take on Apocalypse in a No Disqualification bout! All this and much much more!! Now let's send it up to Brad Baxter and Doc Dillinger for our Television Championship Match here live on MTV!! Take it away gentlemen!!
RAWF Television Championship
(Triple Threat)
PICKLES* VS. JAKE DECEMBER VS. ZAK HACKETT |
Levitan: Ladies and Gentlemen, please give a warm welcome, all the way
from England... InMe!!
"Why don't you come and feed me
Feed me all my memories!"
We go to see the three members from InMe on stage. The crowd start to
quiten down slightly as the lead singer and guitarist nods his head to
the bassist, they suddenly kick straight into 'Gelosea'. Once Dave
McPherson starts singing, Pickles steps out onto the ramp with the TV Title
in his right hand. He throws his right hand into the air as pyros go
off, just as InMe kick into the chorus.
Levitan: The following contest is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall and is for the RAWF Television Championship!. Introducing first....from London, England.... weighing 247 pounds ....He is The RAWF Television Champion....this is PICKLES!
A slight section of the crowd in
front of InMe begin to start a Mosh pit as Pickles bangs his chest with
his fist and points at InMe. He walks down the aisle and looks at his
opponents in the ring with a smile on his face. He turns back to watch
InMe, slapping the hands of a couple of fans. When, for some odd reason,
Adz comes out on stage with InMe playing a broom for the remainder of
the song. InMe finish to much applause and cheers from the crowd as Adz
hugs the members of the band. Adz returns to the back and the band winds down...
Levitan: ... introducing ... from London, England.... weighing 225 pounds .... JAKE DECEMBER!
"Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven blares as pyro fires off at the edge of the ramp. On the Radi-tron, the word "SECURITY" appears, along with the visage of Thomas Highway. Then, highlights of Jake December's career pop up. The crowd boos most enthusiastically, and he gets to ringside without much fanfare.
Levitan: ... from Bronx, New York.... weighing 245 pounds ... this is ZAK HACKETT!!
"I dont know why this world keep turning
Round and Round
But I wish it would stop,
and let me off right now."
"As The World Turns" by Eminem replaces Beethoven and the crowd starts to warm up! Hackett looks around with satisfaction as he realizes that he more or less has the support of the crowd during tis special match on MTV. Playing it up a more than he normally would, he poses as his pyros light up the arena. Getting to the camera closest to the ring, he shouts out, "These boys CAN'T HACK IT!" Sliding into the ring, Zak is intent on backing up his words.
Brad: I must say, I'm pumped up! A Television Title match, right here, on MTV! A RAWF first, and I'm excited, the fans are excited...
Doc: I'm getting nauseated...Come on, Brad! This is a Television Title match! I don't care if it is on MTV or PBS, I'm always up for a title match, whether its broadcast on MTV or not!
Brad: But the significance...this is the first time since Eruption that the Television Title has been on the line on a PPV night, and it is all thanks to Music Television! This is tremendous!
Doc: Okay, you can be a cheerleader, I'll call a serious match!
Brad: Everything is good in the world, we have Conquest tonight, jampacked with over three hours of entertainment, we have a Television Title match, we have Doc doing his usual Oscar the Grouch imitation, and just now we have the opening bell...what more could you want?
At the sound of the bell, Pickles dropkicks Hackett as he tries to clobber December. Hackett staggers into the ropes, December drops an elbow on Pickles as he lands. Hackett runs and clotheslines Jake as he stands, and Pickles trips Hackett, and attempts to put on a racked leg lock with head scissors, but Hackett grabs the ropes. December gets ahold of Pickles by the hair and pulls him up to a standing position, where he hits a fisherman suplex, breaking the hold right after the bridge, seeing that Hackett had gotten to his feet. Rolling, then flipping to his feet, he meets Hackett's charge and locks up with him, and Zak knees Highway's security force in the stomach, then applies a belly to belly suplex. Pickles grabs the back of Hackett's head, drags him up, then hits a reverse DDT. Getting Hackett back up, he whips him into the ropes, and Zak flips over him and performs a sunset flip...1-2-Pickles reverses it, rolling Zak over into a pinning predicament...1-2-Hackett rolls the move over again, and Pickles' shoulders get put on the mat...1-2--December kicks Hackett as Pickles kicks out. Scooping up Zak, Jake puts him down on his knee for a hard backbreaker. Keeping ahold of him, he hits a fallway slam, which leaves December ripe for a banzai headbutt from Pickles. December rolls up in the fetal position after that vicious manuever, and the Television champion goes after Hackett. Hackett gets to his feet as Pickles comes after him, and Zak hits an arm drag. Popping back up and smacking his own head to get the sense back into him, Zak applies a hip toss when Pickles returns with evil intentions. December has regained his composure after having to endure the most hated of headbutts, and sneaks behind Hackett, grabs him and hits a German suplex. Keeping ahold of him, he hits another German suplex. The crowd, booing Highway's associate, still take pictures as Jake nails the third German suplex, and he bridges for the cover...1-2-Pickles hits another banzai headbutt on December, and he resumes the fetal position... Pickles looks at Jake, seeing him ghost white and grabbing himself, then looks at Hackett, who is laying motionless in the ring. Deciding on Zak, Pickles grabs him and hits him with a brainbuster. Climbing to the top, he leaps in the air, somersaulting in the air, and hitting a legdrop as he straightens up. The impact shakes the ring, and the Television champion gets up, holding his hands in the air, as if in victory! December crawls behind him and hits a low blow! Pickles hits the mat, and December stands up. Walking over to the champ, December, sneering, drops a fist in Pickles' nether region, causing Pickles to assume the fetal position!
Brad: We are seeing three technicians putting it on the line. With the exceptions of those low blows, these guys have been putting on a clinic!
Doc: You enjoy your "clinic," I'll enjoy these technical guys getting down and dirty, doing whatever it takes to win. I think those low blows are great! Pickles definitely had that last one coming to him!
Jake climbs the top rope, and sails through the air with the greatest of ease and lands a frog splash on Pickles. December makes the cover...1-2-Hackett pulls him off. Zak, still laying on the mat, had crawled over to stop the pin. December kicks him in the head, then gets to his feet. Whipping the now standing, but still disoriented, Hackett to the ropes, "The Spiral" hits him with a spinning elbow smash, knocking him down. Looking over, Jake sees Pickles getting it together and starting to stand up, and an idea occurs to him. As Pickles gets to his feet, he suddenly feels an impact courtesy of an Irish-whipped Zak Hackett. Pickles and Zak collapse. Climbing to the top rope, December perches and waits for his opponents to get to a vertical base. As they make it to their feet, Jake jumps and tries a split legged leg drop. Zak sees it coming, pushes Pickles out of the way, and ducks. doing the splits in mid-air, Jake crashes down on his back, and his opponents attack like two piranha in bloody water. Hackett and the Television champion stomp away at the bodyguard, leaving him bruised and battered. Not stopping there, Zak and Pick temporarily join forces. Pickles picks up Jake, whipping him toward Hackett, who spears him into next week.
Doc: Uhh...this isn't looking so good for Jake December! Can we get some help for him? Security needs security down here!
Brad: I'll let Pickles know you rooted against him, Mr. Unbiased Journalist!
Doc: One, tell him anything you like. I like Pickles, but it doesn't mean I want Mr. Highway's security man hurt. Two, I'm just trying to show compassion for December...so tell him that!
Brad: Compassion. Yeah. Okay. I'll let Hackett know all about your compassion, too.
Doc: Well, you can go "tell," but I'm calling the action, and right now, its a bad situation getting worse for Jake December!
Pickles climbs to the top rope while Zak cinches up Jake. Hackett thrills the crowd with the ever popular NYC-YA manuever! The crowd gets to its feet as it sees Pickles tightening up, then springing HIGH in the air with Pickleator moonsault. Pickles stays on top of December, and the referee starts a count...1-2--Zak pulls Pick off of Jake, and starts jawing with him. A few things like, "What the hell?" and "You would've done the same thing..." can be heard amid profanity between the two partners/opponents. Zak picks up Jake, and sets him up for a piledriver. The Television champ then clips Hackett from behind as he holds December upside down. Falling backward, Hackett feels the impact of Jake's body as it collapses on him. Trying to push the bodyguard off of him, he cannot do it in time as Pickles splashes both of his opponents. Rolling Jake out of the way, he bends down to deal with Hackett, but Zak rolls him up in a small package...1-2-kickout! Pickles ends up in front of Hackett, and Zak applies a body scissors from behind. Hacket then starts moving his body to his right side while keeping the scissor lock on him. Zak keeps rolling around the mat, causing his opponent to be rolled in a cricle. While this is going on, December rolls out of the ring, to not only take a breather, but to let his opponents wear each other out. The rolling in the ring continues until Pickles is rolled in a position where his shoulders are pinned...1-2--shoulder up! Zak starts squeezing with the scissors lock, but his legs begin to tire. Releasing the hold, Zak takes another approach. With Pickles still on his back, Hackett faces away from him and grabs one of his legs, bending it sideways in front of one of his own legs and on top of Pickles' other leg, forming a "4" with his opponents legs. Hackett then holds Pickles' straight leg, and pins his legs into place. Zak falls to one side, forcing Pickles' legs to be bent at an angle. Finally, Hackett applies pressure to Pickles' legs. The Television champion screams in pain, bellowing loudly, causing December to think that it is about time to get in the ring and break it up!
Brad: The crooked figure four leg lock. You don't see it that often. Pure genius!
Doc: If he is such a genius, how come he has forgotten Jake December?
Brad: Okay, you have a point, there. Look, December is making his move!
Jake positions himself behind Zak, so he doesn't know that he's coming. The crowd starts making a bunch of noise trying to warn Hackett, but to no avail. December drops a knee right on Zak's skull, causing him to release the hold. Taking a page out of December's book, Pickles rolls out of the ring, giving his leg a little rest, and opportunity to "walk it off." Jake grabs Hackett and performs a 3/4 turn neckbreaker. Cinching him back up, he hits a brainbuster suplex. Getting up to mug for the camera, December looks straight into the lens and says, "This is for you, Commissioner!" December then hits a jumping inverted piledriver. With Zak completely out of it, December makes the cover...1-2---Pickles pulls him off. The two get to their feet and trade blows. Jake whips the Television champ into the corner and attempt a "stinger splash," but ends up with nothing but turnbuckle. The Television champion decides to really assert himself. Grabbing Jake, Pickles grabs his head and drives it down as he lift his knee. A big, round, red circle forms at the point of impact. Stunned, December is helpless when Pickles knees him in the stomach, then hits a rocker dropper, driving him to the mat. Pickles rolls him over...1-2--kickout! Figuring December still had some fight in him, Pickles stands him up and connects with a few headbutts, forearms, and chops, then whips his opponent into the ropes, where he hits with a dropkick to the mush. Pickles tries another cover...1-2-shoulder up!
Brad: What a match...we have seen big moves, we have seen finishers, and now the champ is bringing it back down a notch and going to work in a more traditional way...with smaller, less impact-driven moves. Any old-timer will tell you, small moves add up after awhile, and they will get you a victory if you stay consistent.
Doc: I'm not asking old-timers anything. They can't even remeber what they had for breakfast, let alone what wins a match. What won in yesteryear doesn't fly in today's world of wrestling. Pickles is slowing down because the match has taken its toll on all of the competitors, and the match has naturally slowed like they all do. "Ask any old-timer..." Please.
Brad: We'll just have to agree to disagree, I'm afraid. Anyway, I think the Pickles may let us know what he's up to with his actions in the near future...
Recovering from the inverted piledriver, Zak keeps an eye on his opponents, but still plays oppossum. Pickles climbs the ropes, and waits. Looking at Hackett, Zak stll appeared in "la-la" land. December was gamely trying to get up. The Television champion waits for the perfect moment, and then drops him with a well-executed missile dropkick! Climbing back up to the top, Pickles has another Pickleator in him, and nails the prone challenger names Jake December. Zak springs into action, grabs Pickles, and throws him over the top rope, dumping him. Picking December back up, he positions him and delivers the Impact! Zak goes for the cover...1-2-Pickles drags him off of Jake. The two stare at each other, then do a "double dump," each guy helping to throw the bodyguard out of the ring. Pickles and Hackett lock up, and the champ smacks the taste out of Zak's mouth. Whipping Zak into the ropes, Hackett reverses it, throwing Pickles away from him. Upon the return, Zak goes for a spinning heel kick, misses, then continues with a leg sweep. Pickles flips up, as does Hackett, and they hit each other with stiff rights. Both guys back up, run the ropes, then nail each other with double clotheslines. Both guys are down. Thomas Highway runs down the ramp, grabs some water from the announcer's table, then throws it in December's face. Rolling Jake in the ring, Highway gets on the apron, when Death and Taxes appear on the top of the ramp. Walking down and taking their own sweet time, Highway disappears into the crowd, not taking any chances. Security scrambles to keep the fans off of him. The Inevitables get into the crowd and start working their way through the fans. Many of them asking for autographs and such. The wet December lays on the mat, while Zak and Pickles struggle to stand up.
Brad: Whoever gets up first, just might end up being the winner!
Doc: I can't believe Jake isn't back on his feet after getting water thrown at him!
Brad: That's what I like about you...always stick to the important stuff.
Zak Hackett gets to his feet first. December then moans and groans, and uses the ropes to get himself up. Pickles starts to stir. Jake charges Zak, who promptly hits a NYC-YA on him to the delight of the crowd. Making the cover, Zak is pulled off at the count of two. Kicking Pickles back, Hackett gets to his feet, locks up and tries to whip Pickles into the ropes. Pickles reverses it and hits his version of the X-Factor, called the Pickled, and makes the cover...1-2-3!
Doc: Pickles coming through like a...well...champ!December better straighten up if he wants to stay employed around here.
Brad: Don't forget Zak Hackett! He put in a hell of performance. These guys showed the MTV viewing audience what RAWF is all about! If you haven't ordered it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Conquest is next, ONLY on PPV!
Doc: Order so you can see more of me, good ole Doc Dillinger!
