Jeff Stewart: Well, except for that street fight between Killa Willha and Cassius Clay, but that match was pretty forgetable.
Tony: So now we move on to our main event. We're now outside the immortal Colosseum, here in Rome, Italy. This ancient structure has been cleared, so this very special match can take place.
Jeff: These two are going to need some serious room to do their business. This is for all the marbles, and if anyone had got caught in the middle, they would have been in some serious hurting.
Tony: Indeed, Jeff. Aardvark & Mystique hate each other so much, they were willing to fight for keeping this one on one. But really, this feud's been going for over a month. Cut to footage of April's Hardcore Tables match between Aardvark, Mystique, and the then champ, Rebooter.
Tony: This was another three way dance, one that saw bodies flying, tables breaking, and each man's first glimpse of the Hardcore Title.
They show Aardvark putting Mystique through a table, Rebooter putting Aardvark through a table, then Mystique putting Rebooter through a table.
Tony: While the hostility between these two was building, something else was building in Rebooter.
Now we see a video recap of Rebooter's possesion.
Tony: Mystique and others stood against the Darkness, Aardvark made his surprising, and very controversial move to take the belt from Mystique. A move that was truly one of the most horrifing things this federation has ever seen.
Cut to the Flaming Barbed-wire Cage Match. Aardvark does the double choke-slam on Mystique & Wingnut. This is followed with the shot of him flipping the burning steel structure into the crowd.
Tony: Mystique went on to defeat the Darkness, but at the cost of his Hardcore Championship. His opportunity for revenge came just one week later, and this time the Extreme One finally got the Founding Father of Hardcore one on one.
More footage, this time of the Broadway Theatre Match. Mystique swinging on the ropes. Aardvark crashing through the stage mirror.
Tony: But once again, others got involved in the match, and this time it cost Mystique.
Footage of Wingnut in his Phantom get-up, hitting Mystique in the chest with the fireball. Aardvark hits the Roadkill for the win.
Cut back to the announce station, outside the Colosseum
Tony: But this time, there's no interference. Everyone's been locked out, so there's no chance of anyone else getting involved.
Jeff: I'm glad Aardvark pimp-slapped that rookie, Warhead. He's got no right trying to get in the middle of this.
Tony: Besides, Warhead is already the HardWeight Champ. The rules state you can't hold two singles titles, so his plate was already full for tonight.
Jeff: I'm just psyched for this match. It's gonna get messy, it's gonna get bloody, and it's gonna define Hardcore. Aardvark said Mystique would have to kill him to get the title off him, and I'm inclined to believe him.
Tony: One way or another, these two are going to fight to the finish, and we'll find out who the true master of Hardcore is in the iMWA. Is it the Extreme One, Mystique, or the Founding Father of Hardcore, Aardvark. Let's cut inside now, as Sandy Beach is ready to announce these two for tonight's main even.
Before the camera cuts away, there is movement behind the announce station. Neither Jeff or Tony sees it, but Misty is creeping through a gap in the chain link fence, gaining entrence to the Colosseum. The youngster seems to be making her way inside the structure, carrying some red & white balls and a walkman-sized TV. Sandy: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's main event is to determine the iMWA Hardcore Champion, and the May Punisher Award Winner.
The crowd outside the Colosseum is very alive for this match, watching on giant screens set up outside monument.
Sandy: Introducing first, the challenger. He hails from parts unknown. He stands six feet and three inches tall, weighing in at two hundred and thirty pounds. A former member of the Mythdaddies, he is also a former iMWA Hardcore Champion out to regain his former gold. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you The Extreme One,
Mystique walks out from one entrance into the Colosseum to a big pop from the crowd. It seems Mystique has fans all over the world.
Sandy: And now, introducing the Champion. Ladies and gentlemen, our next competitor hails from West Texas. He stands 6 feet, 9 inches, at 335 pounds, and claims to be The Founding Father of Hardcore. He is the leader of the Impact Playerz, and a former iMWA HardWeight Champion. He is the reigning iMWA Golden Groin Title holder, and the undisputed, reigning and defending, iMWA Hardcore Champion. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you
Jeff: We should mention, Tony, that the ref isn't actually in the building. He's outside with our production staff, and he'll call the match from there. This is Hardcore, so all he has to do is count anyways.
Tony: Looks like they're tired of staring, and now the two are charging. Running around the seats of the arena, these two are at top speed. Aardvark's going for a shoulder-block, but Mystique took him down with a drop-toe-hold. Face first on the stone.
Jeff: Speed versus Power yet again. Last time it was Aardvark coming out on top.
Tony: Wingnut had something to do with that. Aardvark is holding his face, and Mystique follows up with a drop kick that sends Aardvark down about a dozen rows.
Jeff: Yeah, but Mystique took some on that too. He's got to remember he's fighting on a stone structure. It's gonna hurt no matter who hits first. Tony: Mystique's up, and he's looking around him for something. Remember folks, there are weapons scattered all around the Colosseum, just waiting for these two men.
Jeff: Looks like he found one. A folding chair? Oh yeah, that's authentic.
Tony: Maybe not, Jeff, but it's a good weapon in any wrestler's hands. He's walking down, and nails Aardvark across the back. Now he's set the chair up in front of Aardvark, and it looks like he's heading back up a few rows.
Jeff: If he's going for those high-flying moves of his, it's gonna cost him. This stone's just got no give to it.
Tony: Mystique is running down, leaps off the chair, and Aardvark just caught him in mid-air! BIG slam right down on those stone steps. That cost him more than he thought.
Jeff: If the big guy can hold on long enough, Mystique just might knock himself out. Tony: Aardvark is up, and now he's repeatedly dropping a knee into the back of Mystique's head. This is brutal.
Jeff: That's what Hardcore's all about. Now it's time for the Founding Father to get something to beat on him with.
Tony: That chair was decimated by Mystique's leap, so he'll need to find something else. He's looking around, and he's reaching down, and it looks like he's got a net.
Jeff: Now that looks more like something a gladiator would use.
Tony: He's swinging it over his head, but Mystique's up, and dodges it. Aardvark's going for it again, but Mystique moved in, and just swept his legs. Aardvark's on his back, and it looks like he got himself tangled up in the net! He's at Mystique's mercy! Mystique is kicking him repeatedly!
Suddenly, from the depths of the Colosseum, a small red & white ball flies out, and a young girl's voice can be heard.
Out of the ball pops Psyduck, who lands just yards away from the two wrestlers. Tony: Psyduck? Where the heck did he come from?
Jeff: I think the Impact Playerz had something special planned for this match.
Tony: Psyduck unleashes that high pressure stream of water attack, and it drives Mystique back from Aardvark. Misty had to have snuck into the Colosseum. The Playerz are making this a handicap match!
Jeff: Hey, when there are no rules, it's hard to break 'em.
Tony: Mystique has rolled back into one of the entrances, trying to find an escape from that water attack. Now he's emmerging, only he found a shield, and he's using it to drive forward, through the water.
Jeff: Aardvark's got his legs free of the net. He'll be back in this in a heartbeat.
Tony: Mystique's almost to Psyduck. He's reaching forward, and he just grabbed the duck by the bill!
Jeff: Don't you mean bull by the horns?
Tony: Not this time, Jeff. With nowhere else for that water to go, Psyduck just swelled up to almost twice his size. I he's looking very bloated, and I dont' think he's up for any more fighting today.
Jeff: Maybe, but the plan worked. It gave Aardvark the time he needed, and he's back up on his feet. Tony: Aardvark takes a swing, but Mystique takes him down with an armdrag. This time Aardvark goes low, but Mystique grabs his kick and takes him down again, this time with a big leg drag.
Jeff: Aardvark's gotta be more inventive then that to keep up with him.
Tony: Looks like Mystique's trying to keep the pace up, dives over the big man for a sunset flip, but he can't pull him over. Ouch. Aardvark just sat right down on Mystique's chest. Ref counts, 1...but Mystique quickly kicks out from under him.
Jeff: Hey, can you blame a guy that old for trying to get off his feet for a bit?
Tony: Mystique goes for a dropkick, but Aardvark blocks it. Now the Founding Father has him by the ankles, and there's a big slingshot that sends him crashing into the stone steps.
Jeff: That just sounds familiar. Anyway, it worked, because Mystique is dazed from that shot. Tony: Aardvark's turning away, looks like he's trying to find something else to work over Mystique with. Back to another one of those entrances, and he's coming out with A CHAINSAW??!!
Jeff: ALRIGHT! This is as Hardcore as it gets. He threatened to use it, and Aardvark makes good on his promises.
Tony: He's holding it high over his head. I think he means to do some serious damage with that thing. He grabs the cord, yanks back, and....nothing? Aardvark's confused, as he's pulling on the start cord, and still nothing.
Jeff: They did bring the mixed gasoline for that, didn't they? Europeans use a slightly different mix of gas than we do in the States, and you can't just put it straight in there anyway.
Tony: I don't think they did, Jeff. Aardvark just threw the saw down in disgust, but here comes Mystique. BIG forearm shot to the back of Aardvark's head, and he goes down in a hurry.
Jeff: He went face first into the chainsaw, Tony! He's rolling over, and he's got a big gash in his forhead, and it's bleeding big time.
Tony: Looks like Mystique's scored first blood in this match. Tony: Mystique has Aardvark by the ankle, lifts that leg up, and just kicked the back of his knee. Now he's picking up the chainsaw, and drives the weight of it into Aardvark's knees.
Jeff: That's a weak point on the old man. He's had to have his knees rehabbed twice this spring.
Tony: Aardvark is rolling down the seats, clutching his knee, although he's getting some distance between the two of them. I think he's seriously hurt, Jeff.
Almost as if on cue, another red & white ball flies out from the dark center of the Colosseum.
Jeff: Look out! Here comes another one!
In a flash of light, WT springs from the ball, landing right by Aardvark
Tony: WT was in a Pokeball? I didn't know you could do that!
Jeff: Looks like it. And now Mystique's in serious trouble.
Tony: But after his big World Title Match, how much does WT have left to help Aardvark take on Mystique? Tony: Mystique charges down the steps, but WT leapfrogs over him. No ropes here, and Mystique had to stop just dangerously short of that open section in the center of the Colosseum.
Jeff: It's speed versus speed now, and WT's got Mystique outclassed.
Tony: Myabe, but I still have to wonder how much he's got left after that World Title match. Now it's WT charging, but Mystique drops to one knee and plants a fist deep in WT's gut. WT's hunched over as Mystique moves behind him, runs up, and there's a big bulldog right on the stone.
Jeff: Ok, that might slow him down some.
Tony: Both men are slowly getting to their feet, LAST LAUGH! Mystique just caught WT with the Last Laugh.
Jeff: Pinning him won't do any good. He's got to pin Aardvark.
Tony: I don't think that's what Mystique had in mind. He's got WT up by the hair, and he just threw him off that edge, into the dark catacombs of the Colosseum.
Jeff: Well, I guess that will work.
Tony: Mystique is looking down into the depths, but Aardvark just snuck up behind him. He's got him in a sleeper, and he's using it to drag him back up the seats of the Colosseum. Tony: Aardvark is ascending higher & higher up those seats, and Mystique looks like he's fading, but no he kicks up, and just caught Aardvark right in the face! Aardvark releases the hold as he reels back from the kick.
Jeff: Hard to use a sleeper, since the ref isn't actually there to check him.
Tony: I think they're planning on using a ten-count for that, Jeff. Mystique goes for one of those devistating kicks, but Aardvark caught it. Enziguri attempted, but Aardvark ducked that too, but Mystique followed that with a leg sweep that caught Aardvark right in the knees.
Jeff: I think I saw the right one buckle. He's definitely going to be in for some more rehab after this match.
Tony: Mystique is following up with repeated kicks to that injured knee of Aardvark's. The big man is rolling in pain, clutching his knee and trying to get away from Mystique. The Extreme One heads back, going for another entrance to the arena.
Jeff: What's he got this time? I wanna see someone pull out a lion.
Tony: You're out of luck, because Mystique is walking back with a barbed-wire covered baseball bat! Aardvark is struggling to his feet, but Mystique just knocked his legs out from under him, ripping away at the skin on his already injured knee. Tony: Aardvark is trying to crawl away from the Extreme One, but Mystique is just relentless, pounding away on the Founding Father's back, tearing at clothing & flesh. Aardvark looks like he's about to give this match up, Jeff.
Yet another red & white ball flies out from the catacombs
Jeff: Wait, who's left?
The former NFL Superstar flies out of the ball, and lands at the top of the arena steps.
Tony: It's Ric Ravage! What's he doing here? Has he joined up with the Impact Playerz?
Jeff: I don't know, but if Misty sent him in here, then you know he's gonna help out Aardvark somehow.
Tony: Ric & Psyduck fought earlier tonight for the HardWeight Title. They must have put their differences aside for this match though. Tony: Ravage is at the top of the arena, and Mystique is sprinting along below him. Now the Extreme One has stopped, right above one of those entrances.
Jeff: You know, I checked this place out. The entrances are actually called vomitoriums.
Tony: Let's stick to entrances, ok Jeff? Mystique is waiting for Ravage, who's down in a three point stance.
Jeff: Maybe Aardvark taught him the Roadkill. He's gonna turn Mystique into a smear on the rocks!
Tony: Ravage charges, Mystique is holding his ground, OH MY! At the last second, Mystique leapfrogged Ravage, sending the linebacker into empty space, only to fall into that entryway. Mystique comes back, and just leapt off the top of the entrance, with a big leg drop across the throat of Ravage. He's coughing and gasping for breath.
Jeff: I don't think he's gonna get up from that one. Let's see if it gave Aardvark the time he needs. Tony: Aardvark is struggling to get to his feet. That injured knee of his is barely holding. Mystique walks out of the entryway, and he's holding two six-foot staves.
Jeff: What, he's gonna go two-fisted here? I thought that was Aardvark's specialty?
Tony: Mystique's walking down toward the center of the arena. He leaps off the edge, onto the top of one of those walls sticking out of the darkness. He's standing down there, and he's gesturing for Aardvark to come down and join him.
Jeff: I have to admit, a smart move. He's limited Aardvark's mobility, so now he wants to take it where each man will need every bit of agility.
Tony: Well, Aardvark looks like he's taking him up on the challenge. He's down to the center, and leaps onto those walls as well. He looks shaky, but he's holding up while balancing on those thin walls of stone. Looks like Mystique wants it fair from here on out, because he just tossed one of the staves to Aardvark.
Jeff: Quarterstaff fighting? What, we went from the Colosseum to a Xena episode? Tony: Back and forth they go, those staves crashing down into one another, each man looking for an opening. Mystique sweeps the legs, but Aardvark blocks, and tags him with a shot to the head.
Jeff: It's gonna come down to this.
Tony: Aardvark tries to press the advantage, but Mystique counters with another kick to his knees. Aardvark is down, Mystique swings, but Aardvark rolls backwards to avoid the blow. Ouch! Aardvark just thrust upwards from that roll, and caught Mystique solid in the chest.
Jeff: If they fall off the wall, how are they going to get back up there?
Tony: Aardvark's struggling to his feet, but his knee gives, and Mystique nails him with a hard shot across the back of the head. I think Aardvark is out. Mystique tosses his stave aside, and it looks like he's going to work over that knee some more.
Jeff: This is bad.
Tony: He's got him by the ankle, lifts up his entire leg, and he just drove Aardvark's knee down into the stone. Aardvark kicks back with the other leg, but his knee is in bad shape.
Jeff: Mystique practically destroyed it. Looks like it's out of place, and there's some serious blood flowing. It's got to be shattered.
Tony: Mystique looks like he's ready to end this. He's got Aardvark by the hair, trying to get him up so he can use the Last Laugh. Aardvark's hobbling, barely able to stay up, Mystique backs up, ROADKILL!!!
Jeff: Oh my God, they fell off!
Tony: Aardvark must have used every ounce of strength he had left to surge forward, and catch Mystique with the Roadkill. The momentum was enough to carry both men back, and off the wall, falling into the depths of the Colosseum. Tony: The referee has started his count
1...
Tony: If neither man can answer the ten count, this is going to be a draw.
2...
Tony: No sign yet. Who knows how far they fell?
3...
Jeff: They're dead. They've got to be dead.
4...
Tony: I see a hand on the wall. Somebody's trying to climb back up!
5...
Tony: It's Aardvark. The Founding Father of Hardcore is climbing back up the wall.
6...
Tony: He's got a shoulder up. Mystique just leapt up! He's got the champ by the neck!
7...
Tony: He's climbing up! Aardvark is trying to fight him off, but Mystique is climbing up his back.
8...
Tony: Mystique is climbing up on top of the wall! Aardvark is still fighting to make it!
9...
Tony: Mystique kicked Aardvark in the face! He tumbled back down! Mystique is on his feet!
10!!!!!
Tony: IT'S ALL OVER! WE'VE GOT A NEW CHAMPION!!! THE EXTREME ONE, AND NEW iMWA HARDCORE CHAMPION,
