AnglePalooza 2005

Recommended Posts

* DUN DUN DUN DUNNA, DUN DUN DUNNA *

 

Across a river, over a bunch of mountains, through fields, sweeping past trees and bushes, hovering over the skyline of New York City, the OAOAST logo flies through the air...before sweeping down, brushing past an elderly man who seems understandably shocked to see six over-sized letters fly past him. The logo continues going, nearing a house...which luckily, a woman is leaving, meaning the logo can sweep through the open door, continuing on down the hallfway and into the living room where a young kid is sat on his computer. It sweeps past him, hitting the computer...which explodes with a flash, lighting up much to the kid shock and delight.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM POW!

 

The fans hoot and holler as the camera pans around the Air Canada Centre to the interview stage built next to the rampway. We're greeted by our hosts Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Their backs are turned away from the crowd, giving us a beautiful shot of the ring and the many fans in attendence in the background. A rainbow colored feather boa wrapped around Hizzonor's neck, "The Body" is sporting sunglasses, a sparkling gold bandana with "Jesse" written on the front, a Jimi Hendrix t-shirt, black chaps over his blue jeans, and snake-skin boots. All of that, yet Schiavone is only dressed in a tuxedo.

 

SCHIAVONE

The OAOAST has started 2005 with a bang! Hello, everybody, Tony Schiavone and Jesse "The Body" Ventura welcoming you to our first big pay-per-view of 2005 -- one of the OAOAST's "Elite 4" pay-per-view events, as a matter of fact -- AnglePalooza. The card is stacked from top to bottom with great matchups, but the one many are talking about the most is the revamped battle royal called the Lethal Rumble. Instead of the usual 30 men, the OAOAST has decided to shake things up. The field has been cut down from 30 to 15 of the top competitors in the OAOAST. The road to AngleMania IV begins tonight, Jesse.

 

VENTURA

And I love it, Tony Schiavone. We're gonna have 14 men and 1 woman compete in an over the top rope battle royal to determine who'll get a shot at the heavyweight champion of the world at AngleMania IV. Vince McMahon isn't gonna tell you Virgil has a chance at winning the Royal Rumble here. The talent that'll be involved in the Lethal Rumble is incredible. I mean, Alfdogg, the former champion of the world, has returned for this event.

 

SCHIAVONE

Speaking of Alfdogg, our cameras caught this earlier today.

 

EARLIER TODAY

 

Caboose is seen at the refreshment table backstage, when he is approached by Alfdogg!

 

ALF

Caboose, long time no see! Little refreshment before the big event, I see.

 

CABOOSE

Can I *help* you with something, Alf?

 

ALF

Oh no, of course not. You of all people should know that I've never needed your help to get what I want. I certainly didn't need it to capture the OAOAST World title from you, did I? The only thing that's going to help me tonight is knowing that it'll be YOUR job to call the action tonight, as you watch me reascend to my rightful spot at the top of the OAOAST.

 

CABOOSE

You know what? You're right. And this will be my most fun night on the job right here tonight, knowing that your career will END after tonight.

 

ALF

Is that right. Well, I take great pride in knowing that you enjoy calling my matches so much, Caboose. And it should be even more fun for you, then, when you have the honor of calling MY match...in the main event at AngleMania. And whether it be Drek *or* AJ that come out with the belt tonight, I know you'll enjoy it more than ever at AngleMania, when I wipe the mat with them...

 

Alf pauses at this point to grab one of the giant shrimp from the food table.

 

ALF (CONT'D)

...and celebrate with the World title as you watch on, once again.

 

*takes a bite of the shrimp*

 

ALF

Enjoy your night on the job...I know I will.

 

Alf walks off as Caboose watches in disgust.

 

We return to Tony and Jesse on the interview stage. A grin on Ventura's face.

 

SCHIAVONE

What's with the grin?

 

VENTURA

After seeing that footage, I just realize somethin'. If Caboose should ever got down, I'd get my spot back at the announce booth. No more split time a la the time Bobby Heenan took over a majority of my broadcasting duties at WCW. Then again, I should be happy gettin' paid the big money that I do just to do this every other month, and the occasional appearance on OAOAST programming.

 

SCHIAVONE

Yeah, you should. Also tonight: Chris Stevens will face Hoff inside the unfriendly confines of a steel cage. Remember, it was Chris Stevens who put to a crashing halt Hoff's OAOAST title run just days after he won the championship at World Without End. Hoff suffered a knee injury during the blindside attack, and was forced to vacant the OAOAST Championship.

 

VENTURA

Play with pain. I got exposed to Agent Orange when I was serving my country but you don't see me bitchin'. You gotta admit, though, Tony -- Stevens has a point. He beat Hoff at Dirty Deeds, but who gets the title shot the following month? Hoff. He wins the title and then goes on HeldDOWN and gives Crystal a return match. It should of been Chris Stevens getting that title shot, not Crystal. Talk about your northern exposure. If Stevens beats Hoff again, there's no way anybody could deny him a shot at the title. Besides, how cool of a name is Chris Stevens? It's like Jesse Ventura, Tony Brannigan, Dan Black, Zack Malibu, and Drek Stone -- those are all cool names.

 

SCHIAVONE

What about Scotty Static? I find that a hip name.

 

VENTURA

That's just trying too hard. Scotty's parents must of hated him pretty bad when he was born. His mother and father must've seen how small of a ding-a-ling he had and figured, "screw him, he won't be able to give us grandchildren with that pea-sized penis."

 

SCHIAVONE

Come on, Jess. Did you really have to go there? Let's move on. We also have Candie vs. Holly-Wood for the Women's title.

 

VENTURA

I can't believe Holly's actions this past Thursday on HeldDOWN. I mean, did she really have to attack Candie? It's not her fault Holly has a low opinion of herself. She sees all the magazine and movie offers Candie's gettin', and she's jealous. She's as bad as Krista and Alix. But tonight the sweet and tastey Candie will get her revenge, when she'll take away the Women's championship from Wood.

 

SCHIAVONE

Since you brought up Krista's and Alix's names, how about their match against The Original Elite, for the OAOAST World tag team championship?

 

VENTURA

You already know who I'm pickin'. I just can't root for a team who has a member that hates Christmas, Tony. But I wonder Schiavone, do Alix and Krista even like men? They're always puttin' down their gender counterparts. I mean, men can make women feel good in ways women can't do to each other, you know what I mean? Are you okay, Tony? Your face is red.

 

Schiavone's face is red in embrassment. He's having trouble holding back laughter while Ventura laughs at him. Tony regains his composure and continues on.

 

SCHIAVONE

(wiping away tears)

Oh, Lordy. You've got your A-game on tonight, Jess.

 

VENTURA

I always got my A-game.

 

SCHIAVONE

Oh. Give me your thoughts on the 24/7 title match between the champion, David Geddon, and The Phenom.

 

VENTURA

The Phenom has raised quite a few eyebrows since entering the OAOAST. Some of his past actions prove he's willing to do whatever it takes to win. That's why I think he'll take home to the title tonight.

 

SCHIAVONE

We haven't seen a corporation crash and burn so fast since Eron, but that's exactly what's happened to Jim Cornette Enterprises. With no Jim Cornette ringside, the New New Midnight Express and The Saints will attempt to settle their differences in the ring.

 

VENTURA

Ah, I think that's wishful thinkin' on James E.'s part. The New New Midnight Express are former tag team champions, but The Saints have had a fire lit under them since joining J.C.E. It could go either way, but I gotta go with The Saints. Who doesn't love Synth? If I had more hair, I'd grow an afro. You should too, Schiavone.

 

SCHIAVONE

I don't think that would be a pleasent sight. We've already covered The Original Elite/COD match, but Zack Malibu also has another title match tonight -- the Fatal 4-Way for the X-Division title. Can Zack become the first triple threat winner in the OAOAST -- World, tag and X-Division champion?

 

VENTURA

I'm not sure what the Elite's line of thinking is when it came to tonight. I mean, Zack's gotten Dan and Tony is all sorts of trouble with Chicks Over Dicks, while he has trouble of his own with the X-Division champion Leon Rodez. I think Zack should of replaced himself with Tony when he got booked into the Fatal 4-Way. It's a huge injustice that Watts is letting Malibu pull not double, but TRIPLE-DUTY. His best bet is to let the other 3 men in the match beat the hell outta each other and sneak it for the pin. Panther and Chris Bryte feuded throughout 2004, so either one of them winning wouldn't be a surprise, but I'm gonna say tonight will be the night the elite defy all odds. Zack Malibu captures the X-Title. And Rodez goes back to shaving his legs.

 

SCHIAVONE

That brings us to the OAOAST Championship match: the returning A.J. Flaire challengers the champion, Drek Stone.

 

VENTURA

A.J. is one of the best wrestlers to have ever walked into the OAOAST, but he's coming in as the challenger against a man who has skyrockted up the OAOAST since his arrival last year. It's gonna be tough for Drek, but I gotta go with the champion of the world. Flaire's gonna be wishing his back never healed after tonight.

 

SCHIAVONE

Ladies and gentlemen, at this time I'm honored to welcome in our guest, the Chairman of the Board "Cowboy" Bill Watts. Bill, I understand you have a big announcement as it relates to the OAOAST tag team championship and AngleMania IV.

 

Dressed casually and looking very grandfatherly with his glasses on, a very upbeat Chairman of the Board appears next to Tony and Jesse.

 

WATTS

Has the OAOAST has kicked off the new year red hot or what, Tony? Before I go into detail about the announcement I have to make, I wanna say two things first. One, I wanna thank the fans for making 2004 the most successful year in OAOAST history, and for allowing us into their homes for tonight's event, which we believe will be one of our best. Two, on behalf of everybody in the OAOAST, we'd like to send out our best wishes and congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Donald Trump. If you think things are hot tonight, things will be gettin' even hotter in the weeks to come because I'm proud to announce, that beginning this Thursday, February 3rd, a single-elimination tag team tournament will take place on HeldDOWN~! to decide who'll face the World's tag team champions at AngleMania IV, with the finals taking place at our next pay-per-view event -- Zero Hour.

 

Invitations were sent out to 9 teams -- all of which accepted -- informing them about the tournament and its rules. There will be two 4 team conferences named after two of the best tag teams in OAOAST history -- the Los Infernales Conference and Miracle Weirdness Connection Conference -- with the winning team receiving the Anderson Cup, named after one of the greatest tag team specialists "The Enforcer" Arn Anderson, and tag title match at AngleMania IV.

 

Now I know some of you are thinking, didn't he say 9 teams received invites to the tournament? Then how come they are two 4 team conferences? Very simple. The loser of tonight's World's tag team title match will participate in the Anderson Cup. In addition to either Black T or C.O.D. being involved in the tournament, so will the following: Hell's Hitmen, the former World's tag team champions the New New Midnight Express, current HI-YAH International tag team champions The Love Doctors, The Saints, the Frankensteiners, the Fanboiz -- for their victory in the Invitation by Anarchy tag match last November -- and the Global Party XChange!

 

"GPX!"

 

"GPX!"

 

"GPX!"

 

WATTS

I personally look forward to this tournament because it shows the depth of the tag team scene in the OAOAST, unlike those so-called wrestling promotions up North. Now, if you'd all direct your attention to the AngleTron for the revealing of the brackets.

 

OPENING ROUND

 

LOS INFERNALES CONFERENCE

GPX vs. The Love Doctors *

The Saints vs. Fanboiz

 

MIRACLE WEIRDNESS CONNECTION CONFERENCE

Black T/C.O.D. vs. New New Midnight Express

Hell's Hitmen vs. Frankensteiners *

 

SEMI-FINALS

February 17th

 

ANDERSON CUP FINALS

Minneapolis, Minnesota

Zero Hour, February 27th live on Pay-Per-View

 

* February 3rd

 

WATTS

The Finals will take place in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sunday, February 27th. We're gonna kick things off this Thursday with one match from each conference. It'll be the Global Party XChange vs. The Love Doctors and Hell's Hitmen vs. the Frankensteiners.

 

What makes professional wrestling the greatest sport in the world, Tony and Jesse, is that we don't have salary caps, so our playing fields are level. Everybody in this sport knows it takes all but 3 seconds or a quick and painful submission hold to win a match. That's why teams like the Fanboys and Frankensteiners will be very dangerous in this tournament. While they'll be heavy underdogs, remember the Fanboiz defeated 5 other teams at Thanksgiving Star Wars last November, and that the Frankensteiners have become one of the most feared tag teams overseas, and scored a huge upset this past Thursday night. With that said, let's get tonight's card underway. Let's hook 'em up!

 

SCHIAVONE

Alrighty. Beginning this Thursday, a tournament will take place on HeldDOWN~! to determine which team will get a shot at OAOAST tag team title match at AngleMania IV. We certainly look forward to that. But it's time to begin our first major event of the new year. Every major championship is on the line tonight, as well as a steel cage match between Chris Stevens and the former OAOAST Champion Hoff, not to mention the World title match involving the Champion Drek Stone and the returning A.J. Flaire. We'll also announce the location of AngleMania IV.

 

VENTURA

My good friend, Donald Trump, the owner of the OAOAST is gonna announce it personally.

 

SCHIAVONE

That's right. It's gonna be a good one. Let's go to the ring and Michael Buffer! With Michael Cole, The Coach and Caboose calling the action from Sofa Central! Guys?

APTag-Title.jpg

 

The thick guitars that give Getting Away With Murder its trademark chaotic feel roll out of the speakers! The arena lights flicker in between blood red and scorching yellow.

 

Somewhere beyond happiness and sadness

I need to calculate what creates my own madness...

 

COLE

Thank you Tony and Jesse. Michael Cole along with The Coach and the former two-time OAOAST World champion Caboose from SOFA CENTRAL~! First match of the show and its going to be a DOOZY! The tag team titles are on the line!

 

COACH

Playas, this is the first time Dan Black and Zack Malibu have teamed together in a tag team on OAOAST television. We’re only five minutes into Anglepalooza and already we’ve made history! If Mikey gets laid tonight, we’ll make history in more ways then one!

 

The Canadian crowd that has flocked to Toronto from places as far as Prince Edward Island showers the Air Canada Centre with enough venomous hatred to lend strength to the devil. The pitch black curtain swings open and through it steps the imposing and despised tag team champions, Dan Black and Zack Malibu! Malibu wears his title around his waist as the lights turn his and his stablemate’s muscular bodies an ugly shade of red. Dan, wearing a chic black trench coat, proudly foists his third of the belts into the air while the dramatic tension of the night builds with each passing moment. Trotting behind them and looking spectactularly out of place is Jivin Jr who for some incredibly insane reason is dressed as Elvis.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen...the following is an OAOAST World Tag Team Championship Match! Now making there way to the ring, accompanied by Jivin JR, first from London, England he is a three time OAOAST tag team champion, he is the Ice Heart....DAAAAAAAAN BLAAAAACK! (BOOO!) And his partner, from the sunny shores of Malibu, California, he needs no further introduction......ZACK MALLIIIIIBBBUUUUUUUUUUU...THEY ARE THE ORIGINAL ELIIIIITTE

 

COLE

Folks, this is the first match in Zack Malibu’s “open call” and he hooks up with his Original Elite partner, Dan Black to defend the tag team titles against Chicks Over Dicks! I have to admit that it’s a gutsy move for Zack to offer himself up to anyone who wants a piece of him. I just don’t know if he’ll get the results he wants.

 

With eighteen thousand people pitted against them, the current champs walk to the ring with the possibility of a huge upset weighing heavily on their broad shoulders. For his part, Jivin JR dances like Scotty 2 Hotty, oblivious to the pressure his associates are under. The yellow and red lights continue to flash on and off as the fans work themselves into more and more of an angry frenzy.

 

I feel irrational so confrontationaaaal

To tell the truth I am getting away with murrrder

 

CABOOSE

Cole, you don’t think Zack can beat wrestling’s version of Thelma and Louise or Leon Rodez and Chris Bryte? You’re a stupid little man. Dan Black by himself could handle Chicks Over Dicks with his eyes closed but with Zack on his team this match shouldn’t last more then three minutes. And it’s about time you gave Zack some credit for his courage. I applaud you for doing so.

 

Black is already in the ring, awaiting his opponents. Zack, however is on the outside jawing back and forth with a balding lardass in the front row holding a “Hack Malibu” sign that features Alix lopping off Zack’s head with a knife.

 

Getting Away With Murder suffers an abrupt death and is replaced by Lindsay Lohan’s slightly more upbeat Anything but me. A gorgeous red pyro fountain springs up from the staging blocking the expensively decorated set with its huge reach. It falls to the floor as quick as it rose, giving way to the gutsy challengers, Chicks Over Dicks. The arena erupts with cheers that nearly carry the roof of the building into the sky!

 

CABOOSE

Jess raised a good question. I already know what’s between Krista’s legs is a no boys allowed club, the same as what’s between Cole’s legs is a no girls allowed club. But what about Alix? Her love interests, Northstar and Synth, looked like chicks. Gotta be bi. I bet she’s a fag hag.

 

COLE

Caboose, this is uncalled for. As for me? I’m saving myself for the right woman. And that woman happens to be Doctor Stephen Pigley. Maybe I can get an order of Max Anderson and AJ Flaire on the side. And when I go camping I’m taking along Leon Rodez to help me pitch a tent!

 

BUFFER

And the opponents...from West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, California respectfully, Alix Spezia and star of the best selling fitness video Buns with KID, Krista Isadora Duncan...CHICKS OVER DICKSSSSS!

 

COACH

The loser of this match isn't exactly SOL. They're automatically entered into single-elimination tag team tournament. I have to say I can't wait to see what those tournament holds in store for the OAOAST!

 

Wearing her strange tie-dyed outfit, Alix bows to her adoring and rabid fan base, while Krista confidently walks down the entrance ramp. At the halfway point, Krista, adorned in shimmering gold pants and matching tank top, stops to flex her bicep and offers a pointed glare at the reigning champions. The sly smile on her face let’s them know that their time with the tag titles is fleeting.

 

CABOOSE

Such arrogance! These two should feel honored that they’ve been given a chance to compete in the same ring with two of the three best athletes in the OAOAST, Tony T-Bod Brannigan being the third. Instead they show a lack of respect for both the company and the champs. I’m sickened. They’ve done nothing but run their mouths and humiliate the three fine gentlemen in The Original Elite! But now it’s put up or shut up time, and I think it’s T.O.E that’ll do the putting and COD that’ll do the shutting.

 

COLE

Before you dismiss Alix and Krista you should know that Krista actually has an amateur wrestling background as she was the only girl on her wrestling team in high school.

 

The two ladies slide into the ring as the atmosphere inside the venue is so electric it could power the entire province! The fans’ brilliant energy is barely being contained within the confines of the state of the art structure. In the squared circle, Zack mouths a few unprintable words at Alix and she’s more then willing to return the favor to her archrival. The audience is unified in their support for CoD, having clearly chosen them over the disdainful challengers and letting them know it with chants of “C-O-D! C-O-D!

 

COLE

Zack and Alix have a lopsided rivalry. Alix was dragged into Northstar’s early disputes with Zack upon her arrival into the OAOAST. When Northstar became general manager, he assigned Alix to the task of taking out Zack’s girlfriend, Candie. After Northstar got fired, Alix was sort of left to fight the battle against Zack by herself, even though she and Northstar broke up a year ago. So, I guess you can say Krista and Dan have found themselves dragged into this bitter never ending war.

 

CABOOSE

She’s herpes! You can’t get rid of her!

 

COACH

Who’d want to get rid of her? Braaaaainz!

 

* DING DING DING *

 

The match starts off with Krista Isadora against The Ice Heart Dan Black! Cocky as ever, Dan Black gets right into Krista’s face, an effort to intimidate her and gain the edge for his squad. The well microphoned ring can pick up on every last put down coming out of Black’s obscene, putrid, mouth. As he continues to spit insults, he buries his forehead into the top of Krista’s head and pushes her away, as if to say she’s not worthy of his precious time!

 

COLE

We usually don’t see Dan Black resort to such forms of intimidation. Most of time he’ll let his great wrestling give him the edge. Maybe he’s afraid of Krista?

 

CABOOSE

Not a chance. When you’ve got weaker opponents you get a chance to venture out of your comfort zone. That’s what Dan’s doing. When the time comes he’ll put these girls down for good.

 

“KICK HIS ASS! KICK HIS ASS!” demand the fans.

 

Never one to upset the paying customer, Krista hits Black with a double leg takedown! Surprised as all hell, Black hits the mat with a loud thud, not even having enough time to brace himself for the impact! Krista mounts him and begins to rain punch after punch after punch down on his ladykilling face! The fans keep on cheering Krista’s assault, but Dan fails to see the fun in getting his face bashed in by a woman so he shoves Krista off of him. But showing extreme tenacity, Krista mounts him again! More closed fist are introduced to Dan’s nose causing him so much anguish that he starts to wonder if she doesn’t have a metal plate lodged in her knuckles. Being a pretty smart guy, Dan doesn’t use the same counter as before. This time he grabs Krista by her arms and rolls her over so that he’s on top. Dissimilar to Krista, Dan chooses to apply a basic chokehold rather then punch the day lights out of his counterpart! Referee, Okari Tanka orders Dan to break the hold, but the cool as ice grappler knows he has a five count to work with.

 

COLE

A blatant chokehold!

 

CABOOSE

Some women like it rough. Like your mother.

 

“DAN BLACK, YOUR COUNTRY SUCKS! ENGLAND LOST THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR AND WOULD’VE GOTTEN TAKEN OVER BY THE GERMANS IN WORLD WAR TWO! IF IT WASN’T FOR THE USA YOU’D BE THE UNITED KINGDOM OF NAZI GERMANY, ASSHOLE! GO HOOOOOOME!” Screams an already drunk audience member well versed in second grade level history.

 

The five count finally hits zero and Dan, unwilling to get on the ref’s bad side so early in the match, breaks the hold. He grabs Krista by her long blond locks and pulls her to her feet! Problematically for the young Londoner, he doesn’t find himself on the attack, instead Krista belts him in the midsection with her elbow! Dan doubles over wheezing, coughing and holding his hands to his stomach. With her young partner rooting her on, Krista calmly grabs a side headlock. The fans firmly planted on the side of his antagonist, Dan drops to both his knees attempting a sneaky effort of slipping out of the hold! But Krista goes down to one knee and wins the first round of the war over the headlock, keeping the hold on tight. A small “Black sucks!” chant can be heard from several fans in the first two rows. Infuriated that someone would have the audacity to boo his meal ticket, Jivin JR turns around to admonish them! But the plumpish nincompoop only gets warm beer tossed at him for his troubles!

 

CABOOSE

That’s a wrestling legend!

 

COACH

That “wrestling legend” is licking that beer off his nipples. Cool.

 

Dan presses the palm of his sweaty hand into Krista’s face, perhaps trying to irritate her into breaking the grasp. Whatever his strategy is, it doesn’t work. At Krista’s less then polite urging, they both stand up. Dan seizes on the narrow window of opportunity the shift in position has presented him and tries to shove her towards the ropes! However, Krista drops back down to her knee, meaning she’ll be going nowhere fast. Danny boy concludes that the best way to escape is through a bit of trickery. Thus he wraps his hands around Krista’s slender waist as though he was preparing to back drop her. Krista, naturally stands up to counter, but soon finds out that no back drop is forthcoming! What is coming is a push to the ropes, courtesy of one third of the tag team champions!

 

CABOOSE

You can never out wrestle Dan Black! His training didn’t come rolling around on the mat with horny geek boys at prep school, it came against some of the homeland’s finest and most dangerous wrestlers.

 

Dan drops down to his stomach and plans on having Krista hop over him and run to the other side of the ring where Zack will nail her with a right hook! But Krista seems to have another plan in mind. She bounces back towards Dan, but as opposed to leaping over him, she gracefully cartwheels towards him and then drops a nasty elbow across his bare back! The nifty trick gets a grand response from the Toronto crowd.

 

COACH

Caboose, that was cool. Admit it.

 

CABOOSE

I’ll admit that a woman with that kind of flexibility comes in handy on some of those lonely nights on the road.

 

Ice water running through his veins, Dan stands up holding his back but looking altogether non plused. He adjusts his right elbow pad and stares cooly at the woman who’s gotten the better of him so far. Walking towards the center of the ring a barely detectable smirk slides onto his visage. Appearing to have some sort of devious scheme cooked up, he invites Krista for a lockup! She accepts his invitation and raises her arms for the start of the hold, but Dan grabs her left arm and puts her into an arm wrench! The award winning fitness model cries out in both pain and shock as Dan liberally applies pressure to her arm! It’s the most viscous arm wrench ever applied as it looks like Dan might literally rip Krista’s arm clear out of its socket! Understanding, that a one armed woman isn’t exactly useful in a wrestling match, Krista counters by grabbing Dan’s neatly combed hair, pulling his head back and angrily slamming him to the rock hard mat! Head burning, The Englishman let’s go of Krista’s arm! Turnabout as always is fairplay as he quickly has his arm wrapped into an armbar, by a standing Krista! Okari Tanka, admonishes Krista for the dirty counter, but all the reprimands in the world won’t bring the match back to Dan’s favor.

 

“KRIS-TA! KRIS-TA! KRIS-TA!” bleat the OAOAST devotees.

 

Krista doesn't seem very thrilled with the fans chanting her name. While she wrenches and stretches his arm, Dan presses his feet against the mat and kips right up! With the stinging armbar still locked in, Dan goes between Krista’s legs and flips her to the canvas with a fireman’s carry! Now its his turn to lock in an armbar! He places one leg across her chest and another on her neck, paretically choking her while he works over her arm.

 

“MAKE HER TAP!” Orders Zack.

 

“JUST LIKE CRYSTAL MADE YOU TAP!” An overweight slob in a Raptors jersey shouts, giving birth to a round of “YOU TAPPED OUT!”

 

The ref asks Krista if she wants to give up. The question insults her pride and only steels her resolve to escape the submission hold. During Zack’s exchange with the crowd, Black made the uncharacteristic mistake of pulling his leg off Krista’s throat, allowing her manuverablity that could prove fatal to his grapple. In one blink and you miss it motion, Krista rolls on top of Dan, grabs his shoulders and rolls backwards, catching him in a sloppy roll up! The fans jump to their feet, thinking that they’re about to witness a sudden title change!

 

1

 

 

KICKOUT!

 

COLE

Not even a two count! She took him by surprise, but you have to wake up pretty early in the morning to beat Dan Black with a roll up.

 

COACH

Would that mean an insomniac could beat him with a school boy?

 

“KRISTA, I WANT TO SNIFF YOUR BEAUTIFUL LEGS!” proclaims a slovenly pervert in a bootleg Green Day T-shirt.

 

Both technical marvels spring to their feet where a bitter slugfest ensues! Despite Krista’s willingness to stand toe to toe with the OAOAST Hall Of Famer, the battle isn’t won with admirable courage. Instead victory comes by way of Black’s flesh searing European Uppercuts! Krista stumbles backwards holding her bruised chest, trying to put distance away from herself and the menacing striker. But Dan stays on her and hooks her into a front face lock for a trademark FALCON ARROW~! Dan hoists the best selling author high into the air, and it looks like her feet might be able to touch the ceiling lights! Blood rushes down to her head as her curly hair floats in front of the former IZ boss’ face. For a moment it looks like the match may be coming to an early close and a few fans start to get up from their seats and head to the merchandise and conseccsion stands. BUT Dan stalls the move for far to long and Krista is able to slide behind him! As she’s dropping back to the ground, she wraps her hands around Black’s chin and pulls him down with The Sweetest Thing (Edgeomatic)! The former women’s champion’s (I’m talking about Dan) eyes roll so far back into his head they might slip down his throat and out his ass! The audience members who thought this contest was over come rushing back to their overpriced seats. Krista leans forward and hooks a leg!

KICK OUT WITH AUTHORITY!

 

Krista sits in awe, unsure of how or why Black managed to kick out. Hit hard with confusion, she holds her hands out, praying that someone will give her an explanation. The audience screams “That was three” but popular opinion never changed the outcome of a match. On the outside Jivin JR jumps up and down, joyously celebrating Dan’s impressive kick out! Zack Malibu on the other hand looks displeased that Black would allow himself to come so dangerously close to giving this match away. Her head held low, Krista journeys to her corner and makes the tag with Alix!

 

CABOOSE

Well, Krista just gave this match away!

 

The fans don’t share Caboose’s negative opinion and loudly welcome the hippy clad Alix into the ring! Alix goes right to a bent over Ice Heart, and applies a headlock! That hold stays locked in for all of two seconds as Dan gives Alix a hard push to the ropes! Alix comes running back and Dan leaps in the air for a leap frog, trying to get her to run her head right into his knee! But Alix rolls under Dan’s legs, pops up and runs towards the opposite ropes! She leaps onto the third one and flies back at Dan with a gorgeous lionsault press! BUT much to the crowd’s and Krista’s dismay, the four time tag team champ catches Alix in mid flight! The sugary brunette kicks her legs against Dan’s back as if she was a damsel in distress being kidnaped by a Wild West villain. Without so much as a word or a taunt, Dan runs to the corner with Alix draped over his shoulder! Proclamations of “Black sucks” pour down from the bleachers as it appears the OAOAST legend is going to violently ram Alix’s back into the turnbuckle! Those negative vibes the crowd were espousing suddenly turn positive as Alix drops off Dan’s sweat and baby oil soaked back and lands on her feet! By the time Black realizes just what the hell is going on, he’s already being pushed into the turnbuckle by Alix! After his ripped stomach collides with the corner post, he staggers backwards more Dazed and Confused then the 1993 hit comedy! Alix capitalizes on her hunky rival’s seemingly frayed state and jumps onto the third rope and springboards back with a hurricanrana! Not wishing to be forced into another pinning predicament, Black latches onto Alix's legs and combats the agile move with a powerbomb! BUT NOT JUST ANY POWERBOMB! A CRUCIFIX POWERBOMB! Placing his arms underneath Alix’s and situating her against his back, Danny B prepares to powerbomb her into the lowest level of the pits of hell! Aggravatingly for T.O.E, that’s a plan Alix isn’t keen on taking part in and she flops her body around like a goldfish out of its aquarium! Dan is unable to powerbomb her and Alix gets dropped out of the hold! Making the most of her new found freedom, Alix nails Dan with a basement dropkick! His legs buckle and he drops to his knees, noticeably wincing from the strike!

 

“THE WORLD IS MINE!” Alix proclaims sparking a “LET’S GO ALIX” chant!

 

With rightful possession of the entire earth, Alix dashes to the ropes! Holding a bottle of BBQ sauce, Jivin Jr leaps onto the ring apron to defend the honor of his young charge, but gets knocked flat on his Oklahoman ass and onto the outside mats by Alix’s elbow! The audience members in the front row who doused him in beer earlier, give the poor fatty a degrading earful as he lies injured on the floor clutching the last remaining bottle of his precious BBQ sauce like a teddy bear.

 

COACH

I hear that sauce is made with souls of children.

 

Back in the ring, Alix rushes back towards her foe and presses her foot against his knee! Using that as a launching pad, she takes to the air and goes clear across his face with the side of her boot! A grotesque mixture of blood and spit flies out of Black’s mouth as he falls back to mat, eyes closed and face pounding with destructive hurt! The uncivilized audience roars with approval at the gruesome shot! Alix flashes them an adorable smile and a peace sign before going for the pin!

KICK OUT!!!!

 

Irate at Alix for not lying on her back like a good girl should, Zack slams his fist on turnbuckle and lets fly a batch of vulgarities primarily directed at the young Californian.

 

CABOOSE

Oh damn! Oh damn! Not three! Not two! But one! That’s the man right there! He lost a tooth, but he still kicked out! What now? What next amazing feet is Dan Black going to perform! First The Sweetest Thing...

 

COACH

Dan wasn’t in that movie! That was Thomas Jane!

 

CABOOSE

That’s the name of Krista’s finisher, dolt!

 

Alix and Dan are on their feet, trading virulent (look it up) looks with one another. Alix comes at Dan with a brave but futile clothesline attempt! Dan avoids the ill advised move, by going behind her in and grabbing her with a rear waistlock! From there the European grappler brings her to the mat with a snap German Suplex!

 

“Bridge it!” The self proclaimed Franchise demands, thoroughly convinced that this match has gone on ten minutes longer then it should have.

 

Either not hearing his partner’s order or not caring enough to follow it, Black rolls the move and brings Alix up to the her feet. He switches from a German Suplex into a back drop and lifts Alix up for the basic but deadly move! But Alix counters by leaning forward and pressing her hands against the mat! She tries to crawl to the ropes as if she’s running a wheel barrow race but Dan slams her backwards with a wheel barrow suplex, driving her back into the canvas! This time, the frozen one does go for a pin

NO! KICK OUT!

 

Downright fuming at what he felt was a slow count, Zack stands on the second rope and offers his unwanted critical opinion of the official.“YOU FUCKING MORON! CAN’T YOU FUCKING COUNT? YOU’RE HORSESHIT! YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS HORSE SHIT! HORSE SHIT!!!!”

 

Spitting an alarming amount of blood, Black stands up first. Alix is quick to follow, but gets chopped in the chest as a result of her tardiness! Her eyes water and agony sets in after another torrid body blow! She slowly staggers from side to side, unable to build a proper defense against Dan’s onslaught! Seeking to take total control of this match, Dan places Alix into a standing head scissors. He crosses her arms under his chest and then lifts her up so that she’s horizontal to the mat! With the fans steady in their stream of hatred for he and his teammate, Black sits down and drops her back first to the mat while still holding her arms!

 

CABOOSE

Pyramid Driver!

 

White-hot pain spreads throughout Alix’s body like a cancer as the impact from the move settles over her. Dan drapes his arm across her for a pin.

 

“COUNT THAT! YOU COUNT THAT PIN, MORON!” Zack bitterly screams at the poor zebra.

NO! KICK OUT!

 

COLE

Has anyone besides me noticed that Dan’s been doing all the work for his team?

 

CABOOSE

Zack has to wrestle three times tonight. He can’t exert all his energy in one match. Dan being the great teammate that he is, is keeping his partner fresh for his later matchups. That’s what makes The Orginal Elite better then the Thrillogy. Calvin and Hoff were never that selfless! Zack’ll be primed and ready for his X title match and will be able to bring more gold to The Original Elite.

 

“THIS IS BULL! THIS IS BULL!” Zack complains, apparently not suffering from a loss of voice. “DO YOU KNOW WHO WE ARE? WHO I AM?”

 

“YOU’RE A PUSSY! YOU’RE A PUSSY!” The fans shoot back.

 

Dan Black drags Alix to the ropes, then places her neck first on the second one! He hooks his arm around the top rope to provide himself with leverage, then sits his knee on her head, choking her between the ropes and his leg! Reduced to tears Alix pitifully screams out for help! But sadly the only person making his/her way towards her is Jivin Jr! The mischievous expression the tubby manager holds leads one to believe he isn’t there to offer TLC. Rather, The Elvis impersonating hillbilly takes his bottle of BBQ sauce and cracks it right across Alix’s face! Consumed by wounding torment, Alix wails as Dan Black keeps up his quest to choke the life out of her pretty little body! Jivin Jr taunts and abuses the much younger woman by planting his big fat, BBQ sauced covered lips on her forehead! That just gives the patrons another reason to loathe T.O.E! Bubbling with anger at T.O.E’s cheap strategy Krista hops into the ring to get some get back, but the referee is right there to cut her off, showing a strange sense of morality.

 

COLE

Hey ref, how about you stop Dan from choking Alix! Or JR from kissing her!

 

COACH

Or Mikey from commentating wrestling matches. That's cool.

 

The man in the stripes now sufficiently distracted by a beautiful blond, Zack sees this as a good time to actually do some physical labor. The two time world champion jumps into the war zone and heads right over to Alix and his ally. The Franchise hollers a mass of instructions at his foreign comrade, causing the English superstar to smile just a tad. Dan pulls Alix, who’s coughing up a fit, away from the ropes, then whips her towards his unbalanced teammate in the center of the ring! Zack catches her, spins her around like a rollercoaster and nails her with an all too devastating tilt a whirl back breaker! Malibu scurries out of the ring, extremely pleased with his low-down handiwork. Black drops down to his knees and pins Alix, making sure to place his elbow onto her throat for a subtle chokehold.

KICK OUT!

 

Alix moves into a standing position trying to ignore the pain in her lower back. Chants of “Let’s go Alix” pick up but they’ll do her little good in her fight against the Iceman. Black grabs her head and snapmares her back down to the mat, where she winds up in a sitting position! He runs the ropes and returns with as much force as a bulldozer and buries his boot square into her back! She lurches forward with sweat and tears sliding down the outlines of her exhausted face and Zack Malibu leaning over the ropes hurling harassment after harassment at her.

 

COLE

I think everyone knows that Alix has a bad back. She suffered two significant injuries to it in this past year. I think we all expected Dan Black...I mean The Original Elite to target it, but none of us expected Zack and even Jivin JR to show such an utter lack of class.

 

His attack showing no signs of letting up, Black pulls Alix to her feet. He takes her almost limp body into his arms for what looks to be a fall away slam. However, he doesn’t throw her overhead, instead he spins her around to the rear of his body, drops to his knees and smashes her back against his upper back! Alix slides right off his back to the mat, where her chances of mounting a suitable offense drop from slim to none. The champion goes for a cover!

KICK OUT!

 

COLE

How much more can Alix Spezia take?

 

CABOOSE

Hey, don't you go crying for them, Cole. They wanted this, they got it, and now they have to deal with it.

 

Black gets up and wipes the mixture of blood and spit from the side of his lip, sighing in frustration at his inability to keep Alix Spezia down. He pulls her up and yanks on her arm, sending her to the corner with an Irish whip, and looking on as her already bruised back takes another hit, smashing against the turnbuckle pads. Dan charges in, but Alix fires off a back elbow out of desperation, driving him away! She comes running out of the corner...BUT ZACK COMES RUNNING ACROSS THE APRON AND YANKS HER DOWN BY THE HAIR!

 

 

CABOOSE

NICE~!

 

The crowd boos as Malibu nonchalantly returns to his corner, but ref Tanaka runs over to scold him! Never one to back down from confrontation (just listen to his theme song!), Malibu gets into it with the ref, thinking he's allowing Dan some "free time" with Alix. Black reaches down for Alix, who is nothing but dead weight, as she collapses out of his arms. Laughing, Black reaches down for the small spitfire once again...AND CATCHES A LOW BLOW FOR HIS TROUBLES! Black's jaw drops to the canvas, as he cringes in pain from the shock of having taken the full brunt of that shot where no man should! He turns around, and the look of shock is intensified as Krista Isadora Duncan takes advantage of Zack's preoccuppying the referee...AND LEAPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A FLYING DDT, SPIKING DAN BLACK'S HEAD IN THE CANVAS! Krista drags her partner onto Dan's body and then runs to turn Tanaka's attention back to the match, showing him that COD could win this!

ONE!

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

THR...NO! MALIBU DRAGS ALIX OFF OF DAN BLACK!

 

COACH

SONUVA!

 

Not one to take that sitting down, Krista glares at Zack and charges, springing off the back of her own partner and leaping onto the former World Champion with a bodypress! Acting on instinct, Malibu presses her off of him quickly, sending her rolling out to the floor and leaving he and Dan alone in the ring with Alix! Zack sees Alix standing up, her knees wobbling and barely able to keep her standing upright, so he sees this as the perfect opportunity to strike.

 

SCHOOL'S OUT!

DUCKED! DAN BLACK TAKES...NO!

 

Malibu quickly pulls back, nearly knocking the head off his own partner. As the TOE breathe a sigh of relief, ALIX strikes, dropkicking Malibu into Dan and knocking Black through the ropes and to the apron. Zack turns around, dazed, and Alix leads him across the ring by his closely cropped hair...AND HURLS HIM OVER THE ROPES TO RINGSIDE!

 

COLE

COD has cleared the ring! Malibu's getting his ass kicked, and hasn't even entered the ring legally yet!

 

Alix falls to one knee, exhausted, but gets the unanimous support of the crowd, as a heavy "COD" chant starts up. Krista enters the ring to check on her partner, and with Black and Zack both down on the outside, the COD take a moment to pose, their bruised bodies still ten times better looking than most of the women in the crowd tonight. On the outside, Dan and Zack regroup, with Malibu slowly beginning to lose it. Finally, he pushes his own partner away and slides into the ring, taking over the match for his team! He swings a haymaker at Alix, who ducks and grabs him by the waist, running him into the corner and crushing him, then carrying him over with a Northern Lights Suplex!

 

ONE!

 

TW-BRIDGE! MALIBU PUSHES UP! POWERB-NO! ALIX HAMMERS ON HIS

FOREHEAD, AND DROPS TO HER FEET! Alix then whips Zack to the ropes...REVERSED...POWERSLAM!

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

 

 

TH-KICKOUT!

 

COLE

You might want to take back that comment about "weaker foes", Caboose. COD is not backing down tonight!

 

CABOOSE

They may not want to, but they're going to have to. Malibu and Black will only put up with so much of this!

 

Malibu gets up and eyes the ref for the supposedly slow count, and then leads Alix to her feet, only to club her across the back of the neck with a forearm! As she falls he catches her once again, pulling her up and then slamming his arm across the back of her neck again!

 

COLE

Malibu's getting cute, and...

 

CABOOSE

Wait, back up. Did you just come out of the closet?

 

COLE

No, I said Malibu was getting...

 

CABOOSE

Getting cute, right? You're checkin' out guys! Sicko!

 

COLE

I can't win.

 

CABOOSE

Damn right you can't. Better not be any peepholes in our showers either. Perv.

 

Malibu is now kicking at Alix, giving her light stomps in a taunting fashion before getting a running start and delivering a soccer kick to the ribcage! Malibu throws his arms out and tilts his head back, enjoying himself a little too much as he showboats, standing over the beaten and bruised Alix Spezia. Malibu stalks her as she crawls around the canvas, and stands over her, pulling her up to her feet by her hair. He then pulls her closer, and lifts her up for a back suplex, dropping her legs on the top rope to slingshot her off into the move...NO! ALIX USES THE MOMENTUM TO FLOAT OVER ZACK'S SHOULDER...TAG TO KRISTA!

 

The crowd roars as Krista leaps up into the air, springboarding off the top rope and diving towards Zack, nailing a springboard...PUNCH! Malibu goes down after taking the blow right to his temple, holding his head and possibly needing an Alleve. Krista pulls him up and sends him to the ropes, then elevates him with a high back bodydrop! Zack crashes to the mat, but Krista's assault is cut off by Black running into the ring and delivering a running lariat...DUCKED...NECKBREAKER! Krista reaches up and snaps Black's neck across her shoulder, stunning him and sending him rolling out to Jivin' JR! She turns back to Zack and starts peppering him with forearm shots, staggering him against the ropes...but Malibu jabs a thumb in her eyes to counter! Krista pulls away, now blinded, and Malibu locks on a sleeperhold! Krista wriggles around, trying to free herself...and counters! Krista has Zack in a sleeper, and jumps on his back to keep the hold on...but Malibu snapmares her over, taking her off his back! Zack then runs to the ropes and comes off, just as Krista is getting up...ZACK ATTACK! KRISTA GOES DOWN!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

THR-FLYING LEGDROP TO THE BACK OF ZACK'S HEAD FROM ALIX SPEZIA!

 

 

COACH

YO~!

 

Malibu rolls off Krista, as ref Tanaka jumps back, nearly getting clipped by Alix during her dive! Both Zack and Krista lay out of it on the mat, as Spezia takes note of Dan Black on the outside, and leaps over the ropes with a pescado, taking him out of the match! Alix gets up, and JR is waiting by the corner, clutching his bottle of barbecue sauce and running at Alix like a wildman, swinging the bottle in the direction of her head...DUCKED...LOW KICK...AND JR TAKES THE SAUCE ACROSS THE FOREHEAD!

 

COLE

She just shattered his sauce!

 

CABOOSE

I have a bad feeling that'll be the next big pop culture catchphrase.

 

Black is down. JR is down. Zack and Krista are down in the ring, and the fans are on their feet, loudly chanting "COD". And to think, this is just our opening contest!

Zack and Krista both start to stir in the ring, with Zack recovering more quickly, since he's the freshest man in the mat. Malibu measures her up, and again prepares to deal the death blow to his annoying female rivals. Malibu positions himself for School's Out, ready to crack Krista....HERE IT COMES...NO! CAUGHT! KRISTA SPINS ZACK AROUND AND SCHOOLBOYS HIM!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

ROLL THROUGH! MALIBU IS UP...SCHOOL'S OUT ON KRISTA ISADORA DUNCAN!

 

CABOOSE

FINALLY!

 

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

 

THREE....

 

 

....

 

 

 

....

 

 

KICKOUT!

 

 

CABOOSE

WHAT THE HELL!?

 

The fans ROAR, as Krista Isadora Duncan somehow, someway, kicked out of Zack Malibu's trademark superkick! Malibu gets up, his eyes burning red with rage, and he eyes the referee, getting up and grabbing his collar, backing him into the corner and protesting the count! Tanaka orders Malibu to get his hands off of him and moves away from the psycho superstar. Malibu pulls Krista up off the canvas, holding her in a front facelock and preparing for his ultimate finisher, the Falling Star Driver, but as he lifts Krista up, Alix runs into the ring and chop blocks his knee, causing him to fall back with Krista on top!

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

THR-NO!

 

COLE

So close!

 

COACH

Yet so far away!

 

CABOOSE

Hey, I'M the heel, asshole. Shut up and keep spouting on about Crystal.

 

Malibu shoves the weakened Krista off him and gets up, coming face to face with Alix, who is standing by the ropes. Malibu charges and clotheslines her, sending her out of the ring and keeping her from having an active role in the decision. Malibu then turns back to Krista and lifts her up again, only this time he's cradled in a small package by Krista!

 

ONE!

 

TW-ROLL THROUGH INTO A POP DROP...NO! ANOTHER SMALL PACKAGE COUNTER BY KRISTA!

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THREE!

 

DING DING DING!

 

COLE

THEY DID IT! WHAT A WAY TO OPEN UP ANGLEPALOOZA!

 

CABOOSE

NO! NO! WE CANNOT BECOME THE GORGEOUS LADIES OF WRESTLING!

 

The fans leap up in excitement, as Buffer stands up to make the announcement.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, your winners...and NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW OAOAST WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS....CHICKS OVER DICKS!

 

Alix rolls back into the ring and helps her partner to her feet, as ref Tanaka hands them the coveted OAOAST tag straps. Black, who is just coming to at ringside, looks up and sees this scene in the ring, and his reaction is priceless, as a look of shock and anger comes over him. Malibu tries to swipe the belts back from Tanaka, but the ref pulls away, leaving Zack to stomp his feet and shout "Noooooooo!" out at the top of his lungs. Black looks up at Zack in disbelief, and Malibu can't even look his partner in the eye, instead slamming his hands on the top turnbuckle and resting his head for a moment before kicking the corner pads like a child and storming out of the ring, leaving Black and JR behind!

 

COLE

Look at him! He can't take it!

 

Malibu storms up the aisle, never looking back as Alix and Krista hold each other up, then hold the OAOAST tag belts up high above their heads, all to the delight of the capacity crowd.

 

COLE

Fans, we are just one match in, and history has been made. As for Zack Malibu, he's currently 0 for one in his three match "Open Call" tonight, with an X Title challenge and the Rumble itself coming up later on.

 

CABOOSE

The Malibu Gold Rush can still happen, Cole. An X Title and a World Title shot are all but his!

 

COLE

We'll see about that, now won't we?

Woke Up This Morning

Got Yourself A Gun

Mama Always Said You’d Be

The Chosen One

 

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

 

COLE

What?! I don’t have Drek Stone scheduled for this time!

 

CABOOSE

He doesn’t NEED to be scheduled! He’s the Heavyweight Champion!

 

COACH

I’ve never been a big fan of this song. I feel it perpetuates a negative Italian stereotype. Not every Italian is a mobster, you know.

 

CABOOSE

Any reason you’re mentioning this now?

 

COACH

…..I don’t know. Seemed as good a time as any.

 

The crowd’s initial jeering is immediately followed by Drek Stone sauntering out to the top of the ramp with a huge grin on his face. Dressed in a black-and-white pinstripe suit, with the Heavyweight Championship sparkling nicely around his waist, it’s easy to see Drek is actually proud to come out here and waste valuable Pay-Per-View time. With the microphone already in his left hand, and some kind of manilla folder in his right, Drek actually doesn’t waste time for once in starting his speech.

 

DREK

Well, folks, I’m going to make this short and sweet. I have my Heavyweight Title match coming up in a few minutes, and I do have to get ready for it and all. But let me tell you, I am not sweating this thing one bit.

 

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”

 

DREK

Oh no. I’m not sweating this I-Quit matchup tonight at all. And you know why? Because I know something you all don’t know. I know something AJ Flaire didn’t want you to know. I know something AJ Flaire didn’t want ANYBODY to know! You see, AJ Flaire is in no condition to compete tonight. AJ Flaire hasn’t been in condition to compete since he made his return back here! The fact of the matter is this: AJ Flaire was never given his medical clearance to return to the OAOAST!

 

COLE

….uh oh.

 

COACH

Don’t tell me you’re believing in this!

 

DREK

Oh no. The doctor plainly told AJ Flaire that he should not compete in another professional wrestling match again. But Flaire LIED his way back to the OAOAST! He LIED to Bill Watts about his condition! He LIED to all of you about his condition! And he LIED! TO! ME!!! You don’t believe me?!

 

Drek opens the folder up and raises the first document inside for the crowd.

 

DREK

Here’s the original doctor’s notice! Here’s the one Dr. Imahoe originally wrote for AJ Flaire! It reads, and I quote, “AJ Flaire is in no condition to compete in the OAOAST at this time. In fact, he may never again be in condition to professionally wrestle again. The damage in his back is just way too severe to cope with the stress of wrestling, and so it is my duty to not allow him medical clearance to make his return.” Signed January 2nd, 2005.

 

After finishing the note, Drek simply drops it to his feet.

 

COLE

Wow. Come on.

 

COACH

Ha! You could get those letters anywhere! I saw the 99 cent store selling them 3-for-a-dollar the other day!

 

DREK

We’re not done yet though!

 

Drek pulls out another paper and throws it to his feet.

 

DREK

Here’s the doctor’s notice AJ Flaire found an incompetent doctor to fill out! Or maybe he forged himself! I don’t know. All I know is it isn’t valid!

 

Drek pulls out another paper.

 

DREK

Here’s his chiropractor bill! Paid only three days ago -- immediately after his bout with Jingus!

 

Drek pulls out another paper.

 

DREK

Here’s the bill for his adrenaline shots!

 

Drek then opens up the folder and allows a wide collection of papers to fall at his feet and scatter along the ramp.

 

DREK

There we go! There’s all the evidence! That’s all the written word I need! AJ FLAIRE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE COMPETING TONIGHT! The fact of the matter is - for him - it could be an issue between life and death!

 

*Add dramatic pause here*

 

DREK

But it doesn’t mean I’m letting him off the hook.

 

The crowd, for once during this promo, suddenly gets silent.

 

DREK

Oh no. I’m not letting him out of this one. I really couldn’t care about the official condition of his back. My reaction? Mock outrage, is all. But I just wanted to point out to you the dire straits he’s in. Tonight, one wrong bump -- and it’s all over for Mr. Flaire. If I so wanted to, I could confine him to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. And, truth be told, that’s exactly what I plan to do.

 

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!”

 

DREK

Watts, I know what you’re thinking right now, but forget it. There will be NO cancellation of this match here. AJ Flaire wanted it SO badly -- and now he has it! He signed an official written contract to compete here in an I-Quit match. And that’s exactly what he is going to do! And if I wind up breaking his back? And if I wind up putting him in a wheelchair? And if I wind up killing him in this ring tonight? It’s all fine! It’s all legal! HE SIGNED THIS CONTRACT. HE FORGED THESE DOCUMENTS. HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE DEAL WAS, AND HE DID IT ANYWAY! Well, now, I know what the deal is too. And so do all of you. AJ Flaire?

 

Drek takes the time to look out at the audience before finally finishing his statement.

 

DREK

It’s all over for you, tonight. I promise. I WILL make you say “I Quit” -- and I’ll finish off your damned career in one swoop!

 

Drek then drops the microphone at his feet and stares out at the audience with a cocky grin. But this isn’t just any cocky grin. This isn’t his normal, conceited, I-know-I’m-going-to-win grin. This is something else.

 

Drek Stone knows he has AJ Flaire’s life in his hands tonight.

 

And he loves it.

 

COLE

I'm being told we have an IMPORTANT discussion to get to backstage. Cameraman, GO~!~!

 

The camera cuts to the backstage area where Stephen Joseph Popick and "The Corporate Champion" Tha Puerto Rican are hanging out. The crowd boos the moment their faces are shown. Both men are dressed in suits and ties, with Popick doing shadow boxing and PR drinking coffee. P.R. smiles a sly smile as he watches Stephen shadow box.

 

STEPHEN JOSEPH POPICK

Bam! Bam! Bam! Just like that! HA! Bam! Bam! Pow! Yeah, that's what I'm going to do tonight in the Rumble! 14 scrubs and 1 superstar, ME! STEPHEN JOSEPH POPICK!

 

"THE CORPORATE CHAMPION" THA PUERTO RICAN

Hey, what about me? I'm in the Rumble too!

 

POPICK

Oh yeah. Sorry, I just got carried away for a second. Let me change that. 13 scrubs, 1 superstar, and 1 CORPORATE CHAMPION, THA PUERTO RICAN!

 

THA PUERTO RICAN

Heh, I like that alot better. You know, Popick, it sure feels great to be back in the OAOAST. I really did missed it during those 8 months in prison. The sights, the smells, the roar of the crowd...NAH! I didn't miss that. Screw the fans! HA! HA!

 

The crowd boos.

 

P.R.

But that's not all. I missed putting on terrific matches. I missed winning match after match laying the SmackDown! on all my opponents. And lastly...I missed the women! The women of the OAOAST are hotter then they've ever been! Crystal, Candie, Alix, that Holly-Wood chick. Damn! They are all looking hotter than the last time I saw them! I mean damn! I gotta get me some of that!

 

POPICK

Careful, you don't want Ms. Lindsay Gonzalez to find out.

 

P.R.

Eh, I've gotten some behind her back before, this wouldn't be the first time!

 

SJ

Damn, you sly devil, you!

 

P.R.

Yeah, I know. I'm a pimp!

 

SJP

Say, what do you think about Tina?

 

P.R.

Tina?! Gross! That woman is BUTT freaking ugly! I thought Chynna was bad, her sister is 1,000 times worst, my god! Panther must not have a great taste in women, unlike me, if he loves that wilderbeast! Tina is just nasty! Ill!

 

POPICK

Speaking of Panther, that was GREAT what you did last Thursday! I mean, suprising Panther with that attack! And doing it dressed up like Mr. America! Man, where do you come up with this stuff?

 

P.R.

It was great wasn't it? I just loved the look on the poor guy's face after I knocked him out. Hearing him screamed was such a delight. Man, did that make me feel glad to be back in the OAOAST! I wanted to target the man I felt could be a threat to me in the Rumble, so I went after Panther, because I've been hearing this dude talk about needing the World Title, and, how much the World Title means to him. That's nothing but horse crap. The World Title means more to me than it does to him. He hasn't worked HALF as hard as I have at becoming Champion. I am The Corporate Champion! I am Tha Puerto Rican, the most electrifying man in all of professional wrestling! If anybody is going to be the OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion, it's gonna be me! Not some two-bit jabrony like Panther! Panther is just run-of-the-mill. I am one-of-a-kind! I am special, he is nothing! You hear that? NOTHING. HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAA!!!!

 

The crowd boos. P.R. stands there with a satisfied look on his face while the crowd chants "P.R. SUCKS! P.R. SUCKS!" Popick smiles.

 

POPICK

Heh, yeah I feel ya. You are the Corporate Champion, and you are the best, but let's talk about tonight! Tonight is a big night for the both of us. The Royal Rumble Match! The Lethal Rumble! 60 minutes of non-stop action. 15 men, 1 ring. And the only way to win is to throw someone over the top rope. And since I'm #1, that means I will be doing the most eliminating tonight! Ha. Ha. I am going to be on a roll. Over the top rope goes Zack! Over the top rope goes Calvin! Over the top rope goes Crystal! And don't think I'm going to be taking it easy on our former Inten5e compadres. Because over the top rope goes T-Bod! Over the top rope goes Cappa! Over the top rope goes Dan Black! And then, when we are the last two men in the ring, you're going to be thrown over the top rope, but I won't hurt you. Instead, I'm just going to grab you and throw you over the top rope without even punching you once. And then, when I'm the last man standing, I'll be given the World Title shot that I so deserve, and then I will go on to AngleMania IV to get what has eluded me my entire OAOAST career, the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship!!!

 

At this comment, Tha Puerto Rican's smile fades, and a shocked look replaces it. Popick looks at his proteage with a smile. The crowd still boos.

 

PR

Wait what? What--what did you just say?

 

POPICK

I said, you're basically going to eliminate yourself, so that I can win and get my shot!

 

P.R.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Popick. Hold on. I didn't agree to do that. I didn't even know you were planning on doing that. I thought the plan was that I go into the Rumble, with you watching my back, making sure I'm not eliminated, and then when it's just you and me in the ring, I clothesline you out. I thought the reason you're in the Rumble is to watch my back. Not to actually win it!

 

POPICK

Yes, I will watch your back. But at the same time, this is the Royal Rumble! This is every man for himself! I'll watch your back, but I want to win too! I've been in the OAOAST for 3 years and I have never won the World Title! I have been screwed out of that belt time and time again! I DESERVE to be World Heavyweight Champion damnit! It's my destiny! And I'll be damned if I don't take this chance to get a World Title shot and run with it! So, P.R., no offense to you, but if you're the only one standing between me and a World Title shot, well, I'm putting our alliance aside, and throwing your ass out of the ring!

 

P.R.

Well, if that's the case, then I'm afraid, I'm going to have to be the same way. If you're standing between me and my World Title shot, then I'll be sure to throw your ass out of the ring!

 

POPICK

Oh you wouldn't dare!

 

P.R.

Oh? And why's that?

 

POPICK

Because you don't bite the hand that feeds you. It's because of me that you're even back in the OAOAST! You will get your World Title shot soon, but not now. Now, your mission is to watch my back and make sure that I make it to the end, and then throw yourself out of the ring! You WILL get that title shot, but not tonight. Your only job is to watch my back, not win the Royal Rumble.

 

P.R.

And what if I refuse? What if I change my mind and throw you out during the match? That World Title means as much to me as it does to you!

 

POPICK

Then you will regret it. Trust me, you will regret it. Let me remind you that I am a member of OAOAST Corporate. Your career is in MY HANDS! You said you would do anything to become World Champion, and if you want to be Champ so bad, then you have to do this for me tonight. Your shot will come my young friend, in due time. But if you double cross me, then kiss the OAOAST World Title goodbye because you're never going to get it. If you were to win the Royal Rumble, then I could just use my powers to take that shot away! I'll make sure you NEVER get a World Title shot EVER! I can make your dreams come true, or I can turn them into nightmares! I can make your career or I can break it! It's up to you. You eliminate me tonight, you will regret it! DO YOU HEAR ME?! HAVE I MADE MYSELF CLEAR?!!! So, what's your decision? Are you with me? Or are you against me? WHAT'S YOUR DECISION? WILL YOU HELP ME IN THE RUMBLE TONIGHT?!!!

 

Stephen Joseph Popick and Tha Puerto Rican are in a staredown. The crowd is silent, waiting for PR to make his decision. "The Corporate Champion" thinks it over, with the crowd buzzing. Finally, P.R. maks his decision.

 

P.R.

Yes. Yes sir. I will help you.

 

The crowd boos loudly. Popick smiles a smug smile.

 

POPICK

Good. I knew you would agree. Don't worry, you will get what's coming to you. Now, get me some coffee, I'm thirsty!

 

P.R.

Yes sir.

 

The crowd boos as Tha Puerto Rican leaves to get Popick some coffee. Popick stands there smiling.

 

POPICK

He's a good kid. A little slow, but a good kid.

 

* DING DING DING *

 

“Ladies and Gentlemen…the following contest is for the 24/7 CHAMPIONSHIP!!”

 

The crowd goes wild as the White Stripes kick up and the lights drop out, a lone spotlight hitting the stage as the Phenom steps through the curtain!

 

“Here we go everyone!” calls the Coach, faggy as ever, as Phenom walks toward the ring, looking ready for a war.

 

“Introducing first….from Santa Cruz, Portugal… PHEEEEEENOM!!”

 

“This has been brewing ever since the champion won the title, and now it all comes to head right here at Anglepalooza!” Coach remarks as Phenom slides into the ring and spins around, pointing towards the entranceway as the “Seven Nation Army” is suddenly overwhelmed by a flurry of machine gun fire!

 

“And his opponent….from Las Vegas, Nevada…he is the OAOAST TWENTY FOUR SEVEN CHAMPION…. The One Man Army himself…. DEVIN GEEEEEEDDON!!”

 

Metallica’s “One” fires up now, and the spotlight catches Geddon as he walks through the curtain, his championship belt held high in the air. The crowd cheers as Devin heads to the ring, leaping up to the apron as pyro fires off behind him. Phenom immediately rushes in, connecting with a hard forearm shot, but Geddon barely backs up!

 

“Uh oh!”

 

“He’s dead now!” Caboose laughs as Geddon climbs through the ropes, only for Phenom to attack again with a double axe handle to the back! This stuns the giant momentarily, allowing for another hard shot – this time a knee to the chest that puts the big man back up and against the ropes! Phenom tries for a whip, but Geddon reverses it and pulls the challenger back in, nearly taking his head off with huge clothesline! He quickly goes for a cover…

 

One!

 

 

KICKOUT!

 

“This is fast paced and could very well turn out painful for both of these men!” Coach yells…

 

“Or painful for us to watch” adds Caboose as Phenom gets back up and the two men go into a lock-up, but the size and strength of Geddon easily overpowers the smaller wrestler, and soon Phenom finds himself being lifted high into the air!

 

“He’s got him up! What’s he going to do with him! There’s only one place to go!” Cole screams as Geddon keeps Phenom in the military press and tosses him forward, causing Phenom to flail and thrash before striking the canvas hard!

 

“The Flashback!! This could be over very shortly if Phenom doesn’t come up with a new strategy! Power isn’t going to win him any fights against that monster!” Coach remarks as Phenom’s body bounces off the mat, causing him to slide completely out of the ring! Geddon can only smirk as he looks at the damage he had just done before walking to the edge of the ring and looking over the side…

 

 

FWWOOOOOOOOSH!!

 

“My God! Fire Extinguisher to the face!!” Cole calls as Geddon reacts blindly, his body getting thrown back and his hands going to his eyes as Phenom enters the ring with the extinguisher and lines it up with Geddon’s head…

 

 

THUNK!!

 

The sound of the hollow can striking the head of Geddon echoes through the arena and Devin falls back into a corner, still not off his feet from the blow. Phenom lines up for a second shot with his weapon, but as he rushes to the corner the big man’s foot comes up, CLOCKING Phenom square in the jaw! The fire extinguisher flies from his hands as he fits the mat, and Geddon takes the time to wipe the foam from his face before making another attack.

 

“Phenom just angered that giant, and now he might just have to pay for it!” Coach says as Geddon pulls Phenom up and throws him toward the corner, but at the last second the challenger jumps up, his feet hitting the top turnbuckle before he flies off backwards, flipping through the air…

 

…and KNOCKING THE CHAMPION DOWN WITH A MOONSAULT!!

 

“Big high risk there and it paid off!” Cole exclaims as Phenom tries for a pin…

 

One!

 

T—NOOOOO!!

 

Geddon easily kicks out, throwing Phenom off of him as he tries to get up. The big man stands and Phenom is right there, attacking with another stiff kick to the ribs. Geddon tries to brush it off, only to take two more hard shots. Another follows and the One Man Army can take no more, as his foot comes up and around, catching the Phenom in the back. The smaller superstar staggers into the ropes and turns around, just in time to take another hard clothesline to the outside!!

 

Phenom crashes violently and Geddon slides out, followed by the referee, pulling the smaller man up and aiming him towards the ring steps!

 

THE WHIP!

 

 

 

REVERSED!!

 

 

CLANG!!

 

 

 

SMAAACK!

 

 

“Did you see that! Geddon’s whip was reversed, sending HIM into the stairs, only for Phenom to follow up with a low flying dropkick straight to the face of the big man!” Cole exclaims…

 

“I want blood, dammit.” Caboose mutters, and goes back to his drinking, as Phenom stands and looks into the eyes of the big man, who are slightly more glazed over than they were seconds ago. Phenom tries to pull him up, and then immediately drops him down with a big DDT!

 

One!

 

“COVER ON THE OUTSIDE!”

 

Two!

 

 

 

NOOOOOO!!

 

Geddon kicks out, and Phenom looks pissed, as he runs around the ring and grabs himself a Steel Chair!!

 

The fans cheer as Geddon stands up, only to take the steel straight across the face! Devin falls to his knees, and…

 

 

CRACK!!

 

…another hard shot puts him down on his back and Phenom goes for ANOTHER cover!

 

One!

 

 

 

Two!

 

 

 

Th-NOOOOO!!

 

 

Geddon kicks out, his bloody face being caught on camera as he stands and walks straight into the line of fire, bringing his foot up and catching the steel chair of Phenom, sending it back into his face!

 

CLANG!!

 

“BIG BOOT THERE!” Cole states the obvious, and with a whimper Phenom finds himself being tossed back into the ring, where Geddon follows and lifts him into the air by the throat…holding him high…

 

 

“DIVINE LIGHT! DIVINE LIGHT!”

 

 

 

BLOCKED!!

 

 

Phenom fights out, slamming his free hands over Geddon’s head, causing the big man’s grip to be released. As he hits the ground, Phenom notices the fire extinguisher still laying in the ring and heads for it, picking it up and TOSSING IT straight into the face of the bloody giant!

 

Geddon staggers back as the extinguisher falls to the mat with a loud thud. Devin hits the corner and Phenom jumps up, wrapping his arms around the head of the big man and falling backwards…

 

 

KA-THUD!!

 

 

“HOLY SHIT!”

 

A fan can be heard yelling over the cheering crowd as Devin Geddon’s head strikes the fire extinguisher…but Phenom is hurt as well, his shoulder driving into metal canister!

 

”Geddon is down, Phenom is hurt…but he’s going for the COVER!!”

One!

 

 

 

 

Two!

 

 

 

 

NOOOO!!

 

 

“HE KICKED OUT AGAIN!! PHENOM IS GOING CRAZY!!” Coach screams out as Phenom stands, looking around to see what more he can do to the champion to keep him down, and decides to simply end the match as best he can!

 

“What is he doing now, that goof?” Caboose questions as Phenom pulls Geddon up and places him in a standing headscissors…and signals for the PROTO-BOMB!!

 

“HE WON’T BE ABLE TO LIFT HIM!!” Cole yells, but sure enough Phenom tries, only to find his own feet lifting off the mat and…

 

 

THUD!!

 

 

…into a backdrop counter!!

 

“I TOLD YOU! I’M A GENIUS!” Cole gloats, drawing a laugh from Caboose and Coach as Geddon turns and catches Phenom on his way back to his feet, lifting him up with ease and moving him towards the corner, lifting him up and…

 

 

OOOMPHH!!

 

 

“THE OVERKILL!! PHENOM’S HEAD COULD BE CRUSHED IN!!” Coach explodes this time as Phenom falls to the mat, looking to be speaking to angels as Geddon stands, the One Man Army, staring out over the crowd before him. A smirk forms across his face as he pulls Phenom up and hooks his tights, lifting him into the air and suplexing him over with ease…

 

 

BOOM!

 

 

 

Devin keeps the tights hooked and rolls his body, getting back up and putting the challenger back into position, lifting him high and holding him there, letting the blood drain to the head before…

 

 

 

BOOOM!

 

 

…dropping him down to the canvas again!

 

 

“That’s two! But he’s not done yet!!”

 

 

Geddon once more pulls the Phenom up and goes towards the ropes, lifting him up and dropping him across them with a…

 

SPRRROINNG!!

 

 

…and over into a slingshot suplex!

 

 

 

“THE ARMADA…FLOATOVER!! COVER!”

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

REVERSED!!

 

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

REVERSED AGAIN!!

 

 

 

The duo rolls across the mat and the referee counts as they settle…

 

 

 

ONE!

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

THREE!!!!!

 

 

 

DING DING DING!!

 

 

 

The crowd is silent as the small package is broken, both men claiming their victory towards the referee, who stands there shaking his head. Geddon heads to the outside and grabs at his championship, only for the Phenom to pull it away from him!

 

“WHO WON?! WHO WON?!” Cole calls, and replays flash across the screen, showing both men with their shoulders down!

 

“They both lost! HA!” Caboose chuckles loudly as the two men continue to fight and the referee separates them, taking the title and grabbing at the announcers microphone.

 

“Ladies and Gentlemen…due to both men’s shoulders being down…it is in the best interest of the OAOAST that the winners of this match…”

 

“WHAT?!”

 

“…and CO-TWENTY FOUR/SEVEN CHAMPIONS…. DEVIN GEDDON AND THE PHENOM!!”

 

 

 

“I DON’T BELIEVE THIS! We have Co-Champions!!” Coach yells as Phenom and Devin stare in disbelief. Each grabs at the championship and a small tug of war begins, until finally Geddon is able to pull it away!

 

 

“Uh oh…”

 

 

Devin holds the championship in his hands for a moment and then looks at his…partner, only to EXTEND HIS HAND FOR A SHAKE!!

 

 

“WHAT?! THIS IS INSANE!!!”

 

 

Phenom, too, is a little befuddled, and after a small hesitation…

 

 

HE SHAKES HIS HAND!!

 

 

“WAAAAAAAAAAAH?”

 

 

The crowd does not know what to think as “One” explodes back out through the PA and Phenom and Geddon raise each others hands, walking toward the back, the face of the One Man Army speaking volumes for the potential hell the rest of the OAOAST is going to have to suffer through as long as he…and his new partner…are champion.

Moments away from our next match, our camera is whizzed across the arena to an office, seemingly in the middle of nowhere! Our camera is situated behind a large, bald man in a blazer, and we can see him signing his name on papers when suddenly...

 

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

 

The bald man lifts his head and speaks gruffly.

 

BALD GUY

Come in.

 

The door creaks open, and Calvin Szechstein steps through it, wearing a loose, plain black t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Calvin's expression is the meekest we've ever seen it, and as he speaks we can tell he's uncomfortable.

 

CALVIN

Good evening, Mr. Bone.

 

The bald man, apparently Mr. Bone, bursts out of his chair, and we switch camera angles so we can see the broad smile on Mr. Bone's face. He moves out from behind his desk, walking in front of it and shaking Szechstein's hand.

 

MR. BONE

Calvin, my boy! How are you? I loved the segment on Thursday night, Calvin, it was HIGH-larious! Not only that, pre-orders on Amazon.com are off the charts! We should've done this a long time ago, Calvin, but they're releasing the Dora the Explorer box set pretty soon, and that's going to need a boost of sales in the 18-25 demographic...

 

CALVIN

Um, Mr. Bone, I kinda came here to talk about that.

 

MR. BONE

In that case, sit down, Calvin! I've got all day to talk to my brilliant protege.

 

Calvin takes a seat, and Mr. Bone moves back behind his desk as well, sitting down and looking Calvin in the eyes. Bone smiles and speaks again.

 

MR. BONE

So, Calvin, what did you have in mind? You haven't steered me wrong in the past, I'm sure you won't now!

 

CALVIN

Actually, Mr. Bone, I was wondering if I could maybe... tone down the sponsor thing, a little bit?

 

MR. BONE

Tone it down? What the bloody hell do you mean tone it down, Calvin? You don't get publicity when you tone it down, you get publicity when you turn it up!

 

CALVIN

But Mr. Bone...

 

MR. BONE

But nothing, Calvin! You bring in money. I like money. We like money. But the only reason you bring in money is because you are willing to go that extra mile, and you're willing to turn it up. When you come in here and tell me that you want to tone it down, well, if you tone it down you're downright worthless to me.

 

Calvin sighs.

 

CALVIN

I figured you might say that, Mr. Bone.

 

MR. BONE

Look, I'm sorry I made you go through the SpongeBob thing, all right? But we needed a gimmick! We needed the sales! You and I both know that every dollar counts!

 

CALVIN

Mr. Bone, I don't care about the money anymore. I'm not your junior businessman anymore, I'm not your protege, I'm Calvin Szechstein and I am a wrestler. I'm tired of being treated like a joke in the ring because I'm tied down by the sponsorships, and if you're not willing to scale back on the marketing, then I'm not willing to represent this company anymore.

 

Mr. Bone looks at the Calvin Szechstein, whose breathing has suddenly gotten much heavier. Bone seems a bit taken aback, and he leans across his desk, staring Calvin straight in the eyes.

 

MR. BONE

Are you trying to tell me that you'll give this all up for some... game? Some... wrestlers?

 

CALVIN

Yes, I'm trying to tell you that I'll give this all up for some wrestlers.

 

MR. BONE

Then Calvin, you're fired. Get the hell out of my office, and if I ever see you pick up one of our products again I'll have your ass thrown in jail.

 

Calvin smiles.

 

CALVIN

I wouldn't have it any other way, sir.

 

He gets up and leaves the office, suddenly a free man, free of sponsorships and any such thing, free to just... wrestle.

 

If only he knew how to do that.

 

ANGLEPALOOZA

The Saints vs. New New Midnight Express

 

BUFFER

The following contest is set for one fall. Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by their Image Consultant Holly-Wood, from Sin City, weighing a combine 448 pounds, Jim Cornette Enterprises in association with Arista Records presents the self-proclaimed "greatest rock 'n' wrestling band of all-time"...Synth and Logan "Usher" Mann, THE SAINTS!

 

Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box hits, and the boos begin ringing down immediately as multicolored spotlights shine on the entranceway. In their Angel Wings loaned from Victoria Secret, The Saints appear on the rampway. The spotlight follow the self-proclaimed "greatest rock 'n' wrestling band of all-time" to the ring. There, The Saints drop to one knee and raise their arms up in the air. Pyro SHOOTS out of the ringposts. With a sly grin, Synth looks directly into the camera and says, "It doesn't get any better than this."

 

COLE

This match has been brewing since the very day Jim Cornette announced The Saints had joined the New New Midnight Express in Jim Cornette Enterprises. Both teams are the polar opposite of each other. The Midnights are a traditional tag team who carry on the name and legacy of the Midnight Express before them...

 

CABOOSE

Except "Bombastic" Bart and "Bodacious" Bob, who shouldn't even be mentioned under the same breathe as "Beautiful" Bobby and "Sweet" Stan or Dennis Condrey. If Cornette were dead, he'd be rolling over in his grave with that one.

 

COACH

Hey, the New Midnight Express had a pretty good match against the New Age Outlaws at the 1998 King of the Ring. Many call it the last good match involving the Outlaws.

 

CABOOSE

That's all because of the "Midnight Express" name.

 

COLE (CONT'D)

...while The Saints are more substance than style, although they have a golden opportunity to prove many people wrong tonight, much like The Love Doctors did in their impressive showing against the then-World tag team champions Global Party XChange last year. Those two teams will meet again this Thursday night on HeldDOWN~! in the opening round of the Anderson Cup. A tournament which The Saints and New New Midnight Express are also entered in, to decide who'll face the tag team champions at AngleMania IV.

 

COACH

"Sarcastic" Simon and "Narcissistic" Ned continue to draw bad luck, having been assigned Black T in the opening round, due to Chicks Over Dicks dethroning The Original Elite earlier tonight.

 

CABOOSE

And like the previous week, The Saints will meet the Fanboiz in the opening round. Everybody should pencil The Saints into the second round on their Anderson Cup brackets. They'll meet the winner of GPX-Love Doctors.

 

BUFFER

And their opponents. From the Darkside, weighing 465 pounds, "Sarcastic" Simon and "Narcissistic" Ned -- THE NEW NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!

 

The New New Midnight Express jog to the ring as Chase blares in the background. After steping through the ropes, "Sarcastic" Simon Singleton and "Narcissistic" Ned Blanchard go to a netural corner and discuss strategy. As they remove their silvery vest Synth and Logan "Usher" Mann, still wearing their Angel Wings, jump them from behind, knocking Sarcastic Simon out of the ring following a RUNNING KNEE to the back by Logan. The Saints pummel Narcissistic Ned with double axe-handles in the corner, then toss him out of the ring. A pier-six brawl erupts on the outside. Synth catches Simon with a knee to the midsection and attempts to send him into the security railing but Singleton counters and sends Synth backfirst into the railing. The wings cushion the blow, so Sarcastic Simon hits Synth with a RUNNING CLOTHESLINE. And then drops Synth throatfist on the security railing. Meanwhile, Narcissistic Ned rams Logan facefirst into the ring apron before sending him into the ring. There, Simon joins his partner, Synth still down outside. The Midnights "usher" Mann to the ropes. As Logan comes back at them, Simon and Ned lift him up by his legs and drop him stomachfirst on the canvas.

 

DOUBLE FLAPJACK!

 

Narcissistic Ned points to the corner.

 

COLE

They're calling for the Rocket Launcher.

 

Singleton runs to the corner and climbs to the top. Ned meets him there and places one hand under Simon's thigh, the other on his chest. From the outside, Synth PULLS Blanchard down by his feet and RAMS him into the RINGPOST. Blanchard falls to the ground, while Synth jumps on the ring apron, holding Singleton's left leg, keeping him from flying off the top. Simon tries to break free by hitting the Synthmeister but Logan Mann comes back into the picture and pulls Simon's other leg right out from under him, sending Singleton crashing down hard on the top turnbuckle. Synth enters the ring and along with his partner, Logan, climbs to the second turnbuckle. Double front facelock applied. DOUBLE SUPERPLEX!

 

COACH

What action we've seen just in the opening few minutes, guys. And we still got the World heavyweight title match to come.

 

COLE

What's Synth doing? He's going to the top. The Saints are in the corner... oh, you don't think... They are! The Saints are going for a Rocket Launcher of their own! And they still have those damn wings on.

 

Mann launches Synth off the top. FROG SPLASH!

 

COACH

Somebody make a wish -- it's a falling Angel.

 

CABOOSE

You only do that with a falling star. Idiot.

 

1...

 

2...

 

NO!

 

SAVE MADE by Narcissistic Ned.

 

COLE

Oh, the Midnights are very lucky. I don't think Simon was going to kickout of the Frog Splash. Blanchard himself stills looks a little woozy after getting rammed into the ringpost earlier on.

 

Logan "Usher" Mann re-enters the squared circle and goes after Ned, but Blanchard hits him with a spinning reverse kick to the midsection, then delivers a DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX. Synth takes a swing at Ned, but he ducks and goes on all fours as Sarcastic Simon nails Synth with a RUNNING CLOTHESLINE. Synth stumbles over Blanchard, as Simon makes the cover. DOUBLE GOOZLO!

 

1...

 

2...

 

LOGAN BREAKS IT UP.

 

Mann came in and broked up the pin with a double axe-handle to the back. Singleton clotheslines Logan from behind, sending him through the ropes. Synth tries to roll Simon up, but Singleton hooked the top rope, leaving Synth to fall on his back. Synth rises back to his feet and charges Simon. Singleton ducks a clothesline attempt and lowers his head as Synth comes back at him. Synth with a SUNSET FLIP. But can he get Simon down? Singleton is holding on to the top rope. He falls to his knees, his head lunged forward as he holds onto the middle rope for extra leverage. Referee Charles Robinson didn't see it, as he went down to make the count before Simon reached for the ropes.

 

1...

 

2...

 

Simon is hammered with a WICKED LEFT HOOK! The blow causes Simon to let go of the rope, allowing Synth to finish off the Sunset Flip attempt.

 

1...

 

2...

 

NO!

 

COLE

With everything he had left, or perhaps just out of instinct, Sarcastic Simon smacked his thighs together -- the sting of flesh smacking flesh forcing Synth to release the grip.

 

Synth legscissors the leg, making sure Singleton can't go anywhere, as he tags Logan in. Mann SPRINGBOARDS to the top -- SPRINGBOARD LEGDROP!

 

1...

 

2...

 

SIMON KICKS OUT AGAIN!

 

Synth tagged back in. The Saints double-team Simon, whipping him to the ropes. As Sarcastic Simon hits the ropes near his corner, Narcissistic Ned grabs a chuck of his hair and slams Simon to the mat, then tagging himself in. A very unique way of making a tag, but it shows how ring savvy the New New Midnight Express are. Mann charges towards the corner, but gets decked by a dropkick as Ned swings into the ring. Blanchard showcases his karate skills, SUPERKICKING Synth in the chest. Ned bodyslams Logan. Synth Irish whipped. He hits the far opposite side of the ropes. RUNNING ENZURIGI. Ned with the cover.

 

1...

 

2...

 

LOGAN BREAKS UP THE PIN.

 

Sarcastic Simon from behind. BACK SUPLEX. Narcissistic Ned slams Synth in the center of the ring. The NNMX go to the corner. ROCKET LAUNCHER! Ned rolls Simon off and makes the cover.

 

1...

 

2....

 

Charles Robinson stops counting when Holly-Wood jumps on the apron. He tells her to get down, but she won't. Simon and Ned meet Holly and pull her into the ring by her hair. Logan "Usher" Mann is digging for something in his tights. Synth sneaks behind Singleton, turns him around and hits him with PERCUSSION (DDT). Logan's pulled out BRASS KNUCKLES. Synth tries to hit PERCUSSION on Ned, but Blanchard counters it into a SLINGSHOT RELEASE NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! Holly pretends to twist her ankle as she exits the ring. Charles Robinson goes to check on her, allowing Mann to hit Ned with that vicious LEFT HAND wrapped in BRASS KNUCKLES. Mann spins a stunned Blanchard around and hits him with PERCUSSION! Logan places Synth on top of Ned. Robinson is still attending to Holly. Logan screams for Holly to get down from the apron so the referee can make the count but the noise from the crowd prevents her from hearing what he said.

 

The noise is occuring because TWO MEN are making their way to the ring through the crowd. One of which has a TENNIS RACKET.

 

"BEAUTIFUL" BOBBY EATON & "SWEET" STAN LANE -- THE MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!

 

CABOOSE

Guys, you two are wrestling incompent, so let me tell you that these guys are the most famous incarnation of the Midnight Express. Former NWA World and U.S. tag team champions.

 

Both men a little older, but still more than capable of kicking ass, enter the ring and nail Logan from behind with a DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE. Synth sees what's happening and tries to help Mann out, but "Sweet" Stan blasts him with a brutal shot to the head with the racket. Bobby and Stan toss Mann out of the ring, and place Ned on top of Synth. The most famous incarnation of the Midnight Express exit through the crowd to the cheers of the fans. Robinson turns his attention back to the ring.

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the match, "Sarcastic" Simon and "Narcisssistic" Ned -- THE NEW NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!

 

COLE

Thanks to the help of Beautiful Bobby and Sweet Stane -- yes, you heard right -- the New New Midnight Express have prevailed here tonight. I wonder what James E. is thinking, wherever he's at. We know he, Bobby and Stan are very tight, so did he ask them to help their fellow MXers, or was this something they did on their own?

 

CABOOSE

Geez, Cole, I can't believe you're still trying to cause trouble.

 

COLE

Then why were they here?

 

CABOOSE

Maybe they were just in the neighborhood and decided to make a run-in. I don't know. But I do know trouble when I see it, and you're trying to start trouble. Shame on you. Shame on you.

 

Simon and Ned immediately head backstage as their music plays in the arena. Holly-Wood gets in the ring to check on Synth, who's holding his head after getting nailed in the face with the tennis racket wielded by "Sweet" Stan Lane. Logan joins his partner in the ring, and the two begin yelling at Holly, who just stands in awe as The Saints blame her for their loss. Finally having enough of the verbal abuse, Holly fires back, calling Synth and Logan "primadonna losers," then exits the ring.

 

COACH

What was that all about. Surely, they aren't totally blaming her for the loss, right?

 

COLE

With the egos of those two, you never know.

 

CABOOSE

And Holly still has to defend her Women's championship against Candie. What will her mindset be going into the match?

 

COLE

As a matter of fact, that match is up next. I understand we're going to try to get a word with Holly-Wood after this quick word about our next pay-per-view event.

 

ZERO HOUR

Sunday, February 27, 2005

Minneapolis, Minnesota

 

COLE

Folks, that's going to be one hell of a night in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which is familiar territory to Chris Stevens, standing in the back with Jackie Gayda! Jackie, what's up?

 

The scene cuts to the back, where Jackie holds a microphone, looking up at Chris Stevens. Stevens, wearing what looks to be a very expensive Gucci knockoff suit, has a less-than-thrilled expression on his face.

 

JACKIE

Chris Stevens, there's been a lot of buzz about your match tonight with Hoff--

 

The fans let out a BIG roar of approval at the mere mention of Hoff's name.

 

-- and what kind of condition he'll be in tonight. But many people are also wondering about your mental condition after what Hoff said to you last week! How are you feeling?

 

Stevens takes a deep breath.

 

STEVENS

...well, Jackie, let me just say, you sure picked a *great* time to actually ask an in-depth question.

 

"BOOOOO"

 

Jackie pouts ai the heavy sarcasm of Chris Stevens.

 

STEVENS

As for how I'm feeling...

 

Stevens swallows hard.

 

STEVENS

Well, the numbers-- the numbers speak for themselves. I-I-- I mean, everybody -- EVERYBODY, even all the simps in this arena, knows that I can beat Hoff on any day of the week! I have never been scared of that lummox before, so why would I... why would I......

 

Stevens trails off, looking up past Jackie...and the cameras pan over to find Hoff! An excited cry goes up from the live audience as Hoff smiles smugly at Stevens.

 

HOFF

Gee, Chris...why would you be?

 

"HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF"

 

HOFF

Why would you be scared of plain ol' me? Hmm? Wait, I have an idea. Maybe...just maybe...it's because you just can't seem to keep me down. Hmm?

 

Stevens bites his lip, trembling for a brief moment before swinging a WILD haymaker, but Hoff quickly steps back and out of harm's way! Hoff shakes his head as Stevens regains his composure.

 

HOFF

The shoe's on the other foot, Chris. This time it's me who's mad and you that's running. I hope you brought your running shoes, Chris. Because I am very...very...angry.

 

Hoff's grin fades to a HUGE pop. Stevens goes nearly ashen.

 

HOFF

See you in the ring.

 

Hoff turns and walks off to some massive cheers, while Stevens' eyes follow him away. Jackie looks at the camera, shrugging.

 

JACKIE

Well, guys, back to you!

 

The cameras cut back to Triple C...

 

COACH

Wow, yo.

 

COLE

Wow, indeed. Hoff is in the head of Chris Stevens.

 

CABOOSE

Guys, I don't like this. It's like the calm before a storm.

 

COLE

Well that storm is gonna meet up with Chris Stevens in the confines of a--

 

The cameras cut to a view upwards from the ring, looking at the ominous, black structure hanging from the ceiling.

 

COLE

--fifteen-foot-high steel cage, and that is gonna be one to remember! We've also got the Lethal Rumble, the OAOAST title, and a whole lot more!! What a night!!

The following contest is a Fatal Fourway match, and is for the OAOAST X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP~!

 

APXTITLE.jpg

 

The crowd cheers slightly at Buffer's announcement, but the cheers quickly transform to boos as "It's Goin' Down" hits the PA system. The arena lights dim, a blue hue covers the crowd, and white strobe lights flash upon the entrance.

 

Watch them flee...

 

Watch them flee...

 

Wa--Wa--Watch them flee [hip hop hits]

 

*SCRATCH**SCRATCH*

 

And you do it like this!

 

The locker room curtain swings open as Chris Bryte steps out onto the ramp. In addition to his usual ring gear, Bryte's wearing a shiny blue vest with his name stitched on the back in silver lettering, and--as always--his trademark black shades. He has a smirk on his face as he starts down the ramp to ringside.

 

BUFFER

Introducing first: hailing from Topeka, Kansas and weighing in tonight at 175 pounds...CHRRRRRIIIIS...BRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYYTE!!!!!

 

COLE

What a match this is gonna be...there's bad blood between just about everyone involved in this thing. Of course, there's that big question mark looming over this match as to whether or not Panther will be in any condition to compete in this thing after that heinous attack by Tha Puerto Rican on HeldDOWN!

 

CABOOSE

Well, I dunno, Cole. Last I'd heard, he wasn't here. P.R. did a real number on him the other night.

 

COLE

What a shame it'd be for him to miss this opportunity, but headed to the ring right now is a man who I'm sure aren't mourning over any injury inflicted upon Panther: Chris Bryte!

 

CABOOSE

Oh, you're damn right he's not upset about an injury to Panther. If anything, he's upset that P.R. got to him before they did. No love lost between Bryte and Panther at all!

 

COLE

This is a big night for the Bryte man. If I'm not mistaken, this is his first-ever title opportunity...definitely his first on PPV! But Panther or no Panther, Bryte's got a tough task ahead of him here tonight!

 

Now in the ring, Bryte goes face-to-face with referee Earl Hebner, who pats him down and checks him for weapons. After it's determined that he's clean, Bryte removes his vest and hands his shades to a ring attendent, at which point, his music begins to fade out, only to be replaced by the opening chords of Papa Roach's "Getting Away With Murder." A deafening roar of boos fills the arena as the camera focuses on the entrance, where Zack Malibu emerges with a sinister expression on his face. He walks out to the top of the ramp and pauses momentarily, his eyes filled with hate as he takes in the crowd's reaction. He exchanges insults with a few rouge fans in the front row before continuing down to the ring.

 

BUFFER

His opponent: hailing from Los Angeles, California, weighing in tonight at 195 pounds, he is THE FRANCHISE of the OAOAST...the one...the only ...ZAAAAAAAACK MALIBUUUUUU~!

 

COLE

Here he comes, folks! Zack Malibu on his way down to ringside...

 

CABOOSE

And might I say that I am ashamed of the treatment that Zack is receiving here tonight at Anglepalooza! I mean...don't these people realize who he is?! That he's The Franchise of the OAOAST?!?! The glue that holds this great company together??!! Why is this man not entering the ring last???

 

COLE

Well, tradition states that it's the Champion that enters last, 'Boose!

 

CABOOSE

Tradition?! To hell with tradition--THAT'S ZACK MALIBU! That's the bloody Franchise! He shouldn't have to take a back seat to anybody...especially not to some loser like Rodez!

 

COLE

Well, not surprisingly, Zack's getting an unfavorable response from these fans here in Toronto...

 

Zack steps through the ropes and walks out to the center of the ring, where he too is approached by referee Hebner. Earl tries to give Zack the pre-match pat down, but a feigned backhand from Malibu causes him to change his plans. The music dies down and the lights return to normal, as chants of "YOU TAPPED OUT" begin to break out across the arena, unnerving Zack somewhat. He breathes in a deep breath through clinched teeth before turning toward the locker room and waving out the next participant.

 

BUFFER

And his opponent...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*GOOOOONG!*

 

 

"YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

 

 

"GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN!

GET DOWN, GET DOWN!"

 

The crowd starts to groove as the funky sounds of Kool And The Gang's "Jungle Boogie" hit the PA system. The camera cuts back to the entrance, from which Leon Rodez strolls out, clad in black and gold, and carrying the X-Division Title belt over his shoulder. The crowd cheers and takes pictures as Leon raises the title belt into the air and starts down the ramp.

 

BUFFER

...he hails from Grand Rapids, Michigan and weighs in tonight at 208 pounds! He is the REIGNING AND DEFENDING OAOAST X-Division Champion...this is "SILKY SMOOOOOOOOOTH"...LEEEEEEEEOOOOON...ROOOOOOOODEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!

 

COLE

What a response for the X-Division Champ...

 

COACH

Hold up, dub! I thought you said the champ comes out last, Mikey!

 

COLE

Well...traditionally, that's how it's supposed to be.

 

CABOOSE

So wait a minute! Does this mean what I think it means?! Does this mean that P.R. got the job done?!

 

COLE

Unfortunately, I think so! Panther has apparently been taken out of this match, and I can only guess that this means that he'll be missing the Rumble as well.

 

CABOOSE

Aww, what a shame.

 

As Rodez enters the ring, he raises his belt into the air once more, drawing another pop from the crowd before he hands it over to the referee. Just about as soon as the title belt leaves his hands, he's approached by Zack Malibu, who gets right up into his face and begins talking trash. The camera zooms in tight on both men as they eye one another down--going face-to-face, forehead-to-forehead. The crowd begins to buzz as it becomes apparent that the two men will come to blows at any second, when suddenly...

 

*THUD*

 

...Zack disappears from camera view, only to have Chris Bryte emerge where Psycho Prep once stood.

 

CABOOSE

WHAT THE HELL???!

 

The cameras switch focus to the mat, where Zack sits with his eyes wide open in disbelief as above him, Chris Bryte is up in Rodez's face, mouthing off to the champ!

 

COACH

Bryte just shoved down Malibu!

 

COLE

Zack Malibu just got put down on his ass, and judging from that look in his eye, he is not happy about that.

 

Visibly angered, Zack picks himself up off the canvas and approaches Bryte from behind and taps him on the shoulder. Bryte just brushes him off, however, throwing up an index finger and imploring Zack to "wait a second" before continuing to put the badmouth on Leon. Bryte's snub only serves to anger Zack further, and with a scowl on his face, Zack grabs Bryte's hair and uses it to fling the youngster to the mat! Then, Zack gets right back up in Leon's face as this time, it's Bryte that sits on the mat in shock.

 

COLE

This time it's Bryte that goes down at the hands of Zack! Things are starting to get heated in there!

 

Indeed. Bryte returns to his feet and approaches Zack from behind, grabbing a handful of hair and flinging him back to the mat. Zack uses his momentum to roll back to his feet and approach Bryte once more, grabbing another handful of hair and flinging him to the mat once again. Bryte uses his momentum to roll through the bump, this time coming up behind Zack and grabbing hold of his right wrist, using it to drag the Franchise away from the X-Division Champ. The crowd pops somewhat as the two engage in a tug-of-war type situation, with Zack trying to pull himself free of Bryte's grip. Once he's finally managed to do so, he gives the self-proclaimed Brytest Star in the Game a shove to the chest, to which Bryte responds with one of his own! Zack comes right back with another one, at which point, Bryte rears back for a right hand--OH! But he halts his follow-through when Zack cocks his fist in preparation for a counter strike. The crowd applauds in the background as the two men exchange intense glares!

 

COLE

Zack Malibu and Chris Bryte...a bit of a stalemate there, and tempers are starting to flare between those two, guys! Both these men want a piece of Leon Rodez...

 

CABOOSE

And look at that bloody Rodez! He's sitting back enjoying this thing!

 

Indeed, Rodez is leaning up against a turnbuckle watching the face-off between the two heels. Meanwhile, ringside fans do all they can to egg Zack and Bryte on, as it looks as if they'll come to blows at any second. Just when it seems as if tempers may start to boil over, both men turn and spot Leon, who waves and flashes a smile their way. Zack's face twists with rage as he turns back to Bryte and Bryte to him. The men lock eyes momentarily, then nod at one another simultaneously!

 

COLE

Oh wait a minute...LEON, LOOK OUT!

 

Leon's eyes widen as Zack and Bryte suddenly turn and charge him for a double clothesline...THAT MISSES! The crowd pops big as Rodez ducks underneath the tandem move and runs toward the opposite corner, where he hops onto the second rope and springs backwards, catching his incoming opponents with a cross body block! Leon rolls back to his feet and waits for the heels to rise! Bryte's up first, but he gets dropped with a right hand! Zack gets the same treatment! When Bryte returns to his feet, he catches another right hand! Standing dropkick by Rodez sends Zack into the ropes. Bryte returns to his feet and charges Leon with a Yakuza kick, but Leon ducks under to avoid it! Leon ducks under a Bryte spinning back fist and gets tagged with a left hand jab! Another! A third...

 

 

COACH

Mama Said Knock You Out!

 

COLE

This could be it coming up--

 

BUT NO! Before he's able to complete the sequence, in comes Malibu to catch him with a boot to the midsection. Rodez doubles over, allowing Zack to hit him with a clubbing forearm to the back before slapping on a front facelock. Bryte grabs one of his own, and with the crowd voicing its disapproval in the background, the heels each take one of Rodez's arms and tosses it back over their heads.

 

COACH

Uh oh!

 

COLE

Double suplex coming up!

 

Yes! Both men grab a handful of Leon's tights and lifts him high into the air...BUT RODEZ MANAGES TO FLIP OUT OF THE MOVE AND LAND ON HIS FEET! He immediately takes off into the ropes, and when Zack and Bryte turn to face him, they get mowed down with a double clothesline! The men roll in opposite directions, each man using the ropes on their respective sides to help themselves up! Bryte manages to pull himself up first, but as soon as he finds his feet, Leon comes at him with a full head of steam and blasts him with a clothesline that sends him over the top and to the floor! Then, Leon immediately takes off in the opposite direction, catching Zack as soon as he reaches his feet with a clothesline that sends him over the top and to the floor! The crowd pops once more in the background as Leon takes both hands and blows a kiss to the audience.

 

COLE

Leon Rodez is on a roll, and things not looking all that well here in the early going for Zack and Chris Bryte! Both men...it seems as if they've forged an alliance here in the early going...taking advantage of that unfortunate incident with Panther to make this thing a two-on-one situation, and Rodez is handling himself quite well here in the early goings!

 

CABOOSE

Bah! It's called the early going for a reason, Coke! Still a lot of match to go. I guarantee you that things are gonna go differently as this match progresses.

 

COACH

Yeah, well they'd better make sure that doesn't happen to them later on in the Rumble, because if it does, they'll be eliminated!

 

The crowd rallies Leon on as on the outside, both Zack and Bryte groggily come to their feet and make their way around the ringside area, meeting at a halfway point in front of sofa central. The two begin to confer, most likely pulling together a strategy that'll allow them to get the upper hand on the Champion. Before that happens, however, Rodez charges and floors them with a double baseball slide, sending the heels to the ringside mats once again. Rodez plays to the crowd once more as the heels once again try to scramble back to their feet. Rodez is waiting on them from the ring, and as soon as they find their way back to a vertical base, Leon sprints in action once again, springng off the ropes once again and coming their way with another baseball slide...OH!!! NOBODY HOME!!!!! Zack and Bryte manage to side step the move and send Leon crashing backfirst into the steel guardrail! Leon cringes as he lies up against the guardrail, favoring his lower back. He doesn't have time to tend to it for long, as Zack and Bryte get right back on him, each grabbing an arm and dragging him away from the railing...only to send him crashing into it yet again! Rodez falls forward to the mat, grasping at his lower back with his right hand as Malibu and Bryte look down upon him, the crowd booing them mercilessly. Zack turns and takes a moment to taunt the crowd as Bryte lifts Rodez up and rolls him into the ring. Bryte follows him in and makes a lateral press on Leon...1...2--NO! Rodez able to kick out at two, but in comes Zack now with a lateral press of his own...1...TW--NO!!! Rodez kicks out once again, at which point, an enraged Malibu wraps his right hand around his throat and begins to choke him. Referee Hebner moves in to call for the break...

 

REF. HEBNER

Stop choking him, Zack! 1...2..3...

 

Zack releases on three and sits up on his knees, flashing a smile at he ref, which draws more boos from the capacity crowd. Handful of hair brings Rodez back to a seated position, at which point Zack blasts him with a hard soccer kick to the spine! Leon grimaces from the pain as Zack steps aside, allowing Bryte to move in and nail Rodez with a spinal kick of his own! Zack follows that up with a hard kick right to Rodez's chest, which Bryte follows up with another kick to the lower back!

 

COLE

Dear God!

 

COACH

They're trying to turn him into a human kicking post!

 

Another chest kick from Malibu leaves Rodez writhing in pain on the mat. Both Zack and Bryte look at one another and nod again before setting themselves at opposite sides of Rodez, and rearing back for simultaneous kicks to the chest and back respectively. However, Leon manages to duck out of the way, and Zack's and Bryte's kicking legs end up colliding on the follow through! Zack and Bryte both turn and limp in the opposite direction while grasping at their shins as Leon works to pull himself back to his feet. Upon doing so, he he quickly grabs Bryte and tosses him to the outside before turning and catching Zack with a forearm shot that sends him staggering into the ropes. Leon follows him in and triples up on the forearm before sending Zack into the far side for an Irish whip. Leon lowers the head for a back drop, but Zack has it scouted, and catches him in another front facelock! The crowd clamors!

 

COLE

Zack's got the champion hooked!

 

CABOOSE

He could be getting ready to go for the kill here!

 

COLE

Could we be getting set to see that Falling Star Driver--NO!!!!!! SMALL PACKAGE BY RODEZ!!!!! HE'S GOT ZACK HOOKED!

 

CABOOSE

NO!

 

The referee slides into position to count the fall...

 

 

 

1...

 

 

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

NO! Zack manages a kickout at two! Both men scramble back to their feet, with Zack scoring with a palm strike once they're vertical! A second one staggers Rodez, at which point Zack takes his hand and sends him toward a corner with an Irish whip and tries to follow him in; however, Rodez manages to tip up against the buckle and twist his body around, catching Zack coming in with a sunset flip for...

 

 

1...

 

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

KICKOUT AFTER TWO!!!! Both men roll back to their feet, and this time Zack scores with a knee to the gut that doubles Rodez over! He then grabs a handful of hair and hurls him to the outside, causing Rodez's body to smack hard off the ringside mats. Zack then heads out to the apron and backs up against the ringpost, measuring Rodez as he tries to get himself together on the outside. Rodez slowly pushes himself back to a standing position, at which point Zack runs across the apron and dives off with a clothesline that puts the X-Division Champ flat on his back! Zack raises a self-congratulatory double fist as he returns to his feet, drawing the crowd's ire! He celebrates a bit prematurely, however, as Chris Bryte grabs him from behind...

 

CABOOSE

Hey wait a second! I thought they were working together--

 

 

*CLANG*

 

Bryte catches Zack off guard and sends the surprised preppy sailing headfirst into the steel ringpost! The crowd gives a mixed reaction as Zack's body bounces off the steel and falls limp onto the arena floor.

 

COLE

Chris Bryte may have just KO'd Zack Malibu! Chris Bryte...he and Zack appeared to be on the same page in this one, but I guess Bryte's taking the opportunity to show that it's every man for himself!

 

CABOOSE

I can't believe he would do that to Zack Malibu! What is wrong with you, Bryte?!

 

Bryte's grinning from ear to ear as he makes his way back over to Rodez, eagerly rubbing is hands together as the gets within striking range. Rodez is still trying to regain his bearings as Bryte approaches him and brings him back to his feet by the hair. Bryte's all smiles as he brings Leon back to a vertical base, but that changes as soon as the champ blasts him with a hard right hand! More surprised than hurt, Bryte immediately tries to fire back with a right hand of his own, but Rodez blocks that and nails Bryte with another hard right before grabbing him by the arm and Irish whipping him hard into the stairs! The crowd begins to cheer once more as Leon lifts Bryte's body off the floor and rolls him into the ring!

 

CABOOSE

Damn it, Bryte!

 

COLE

Chris Bryte is in some trouble at the hands of Rodez! He may regret that little double cross he played on Malibu on the outside, because Zack's still down! There's no one to help him, and watch Leon! What's he up to?!

 

Bryte's body's lying parallel to the ropes as Leon propels himself onto a seated position on the top rope and bounces off, connecting with an Arabian press on the Bryte man! Rodez hooks the leg, and the referee slides in position to count it...

 

 

1...

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

 

THRR--NOOOOOOO~! JUST TWOOOOOOO~!

 

COLE

Bryte able to roll that shoulder after two! Just a half a count away from Rodez retaining his title!

 

Leon brings Bryte back to his feet and rips into him with a knife edge! A second chop sends him back into the ropes, at which point, Leon sends him across the ring for another Irish whip. He tries to catch Bryte on the rebound with a clothesline, but Bryte rolls underneath, and when Rodez turns to face him, Bryte fires off a spinning reverse roundhouse---THAT LEON DUCKS! Bryte rides his momentum through for a leg sweep, but Leon manages to leap over that, and when Bryte returns to his feet, the Silky one manages to slap on a front facelock and drop him with a DDT! Lateral press by Rodez...the leg is hooked...

 

 

1...

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

NO!!!! Bryte again manages to shoot his right shoulder off the mat before the three! Leon brings Bryte back to his feet and blasts him with a right hand! He follows that up with a boot to the midsection before slapping on another front facelock, which he uses to drag Bryte into the buckle. With the crowd cheering him on, Rodez manages to push himself up onto the second rope!

 

COLE

Rodez...looks like we could be about to see a tornado DDT here!

 

That looks to be just what he's going for, but Bryte has other plans! Forearm shiver by Bryte catches Rodez right in the kidneys! A second causes him to loosen his grip on the facelock, which allows Bryte to squeeze his head free and connect with a palm strike uppercut!! A second one causes Rodez to stagger, allowing Bryte to turn his back to him and catch him up under his armpits...

 

COLE

Wait a minute...that's the Bryte Out! Bryte's going for the Bryte Out--

 

 

NO! A stiff kick to the lower back by Rodez changes those plans! He follows up with a second before leaping over Bryte's head and landing on his feet in the center of the ring. He turns back to face Bryte, just managing to avoid a Yakuza kick before running to the ropes. Bryte tries to catch him with a knife edge as he comes off, but Rodez ducks under and continues to the other side, from which he rebounds with a flying headscissors takeover--NO! Bryte manages to counter that and muscle Rodez up onto his shoulders into a fireman's carry position! Suddenly...

 

COLE

Hey wait a minute!

 

COACH

Watch Malibu--

 

*WHAM*

 

Malibu slides into the ring and charges towards them, catching Rodez by the head and aiding Bryte in a DVD/neckbreaker combo! Rodez lay motionless on the canvas as a smattering of cheers and "HOLY SHIT" chants can be heard in the crowd as fans begrudgingly pay respect to the move. And of course, the heels are proud of themselves, as both Zack and Bryte return to their feet to pose for the crowd. Bryte jumps up and down excitedly and pumps his fist before heading over to Malibu and calling for a high five. Zack obliges him without hesitation...before booting him in the midsection and flooring him with a hard right hand! A portion of the crowd actually pops for the shot as Bryte comes to his feet along the ropes, allowing Zack to send him sailing to the outside with a vicious clothesline!

 

COLE

Chris Bryte just sent to the outside by Malibu! Zack just got his payback in from that doublecross on the outside, and watch Zack! Zack's got the cover on Rodez! We could have a new champion...

 

 

 

1...

 

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

 

 

3--NO!!!!! Just TWO!

 

 

COACH

You don't get much closer than that!

 

COLE

Tell me about it!

 

 

Zack's all over the ref about the count, slapping the palm of his hand three times to indicate that the ref should count faster. Then, he catches Rodez by the hair and nails him with a hard right hand! He follows up with a second before dragging him back to his feet and butterflying the arms. Zack drives three kneelifts into the forehead of the Champ before taking him up and over for a butterfly suplex! He makes the cover...

 

1...

 

 

 

 

2---NO!!!! Bryte slides back into the ring and catches him by the ankle, yanking him off of Rodez. An evil expression forms on Zack's face as he sits up on the canvas and sets his sights upon the Bryte man!

 

CABOOSE

Oh boy!

 

COLE

Those tempers are starting to flare up once again, folks!

 

Zack slowly picks himself up off the mat and goes chest-to-chest with the brash youngster, who doesn't back down an inch. The crowd starts to buzz once again as Zack begins to mouth off to Bryte: "DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?!?!?"

 

 

*SLAP~!*

 

CROWD

OOOOOOH!!!!!

 

The crowd gasps collectively as Bryte turns Zack's head with a hard slap to the face. Bryte then cocks his fist, anxiously anticipating Zack's retaliation; however, Zack is surprisingly calm. He cracks as smile as he turns his head back to Bryte and extends his hand for a shake. Bryte's not so quick to accept, though, as the memory of Zack's last double cross are still fresh in his mind! "SHAKE IT," implores Zack, as Bryte warily gazes down at the extended hand. He's still reluctant--

 

*SLAP~!*

 

CROWD

OOOOOOOH!!!!!!

 

Zack slaps Bryte HARD across the face, knocking him off balance and sending him stumbling in the opposite direction. Bryte runs his right hand across the reddening area on his left cheek as he turns back toward Malibu, his eyes filling with anger. The expression on Bryte's face causes Zack's smile to widen as he sticks his chin forward, begging Bryte to slap him again. Bryte's fists clinch and his body begins trembling in anger anger as he steps back towards Zack and--

 

*SLAP~!*

 

Zack catches him with another slap across the face...

 

 

*WHAM!!!*

 

To which Bryte responds with a forearm!!!!!! Zack staggers slightning, but manages to retain enough of his equilibrium to retaliate with a forearm of his own! Bryte returns the favor! Zack responds again! Bryte! Malibu! Bryte! Malibu!

 

COLE

They're slugging it out in the center of the ring!

 

The fans are heating up as Bryte catches Malibu with a forearm shot that sends him stumbling into the ropes! Malibu manages to rebound with a Yakuza Kick that sends Bryte into the ropes! Bryte rebounds with a Yakuza kick of his own! Zack into the ropes again and comes off with another! Bryte hits the ropes again and comes off with another! Malibu into the ropes one more time, and he comes out with another Yakuza kick that manages to take Bryte off his feet! Zack's quickly makes his way to a corner and sets himself, waiting for the Bryte man to rise! Bryte does so quickly, and as soon as his feet are under him, Zack comes staight at him with School's Out...BUT MISSES! Bryte ducks under the kick, and when Zack turns to face him, he fires off one of his own--BUT IT'S CAUGHT! Zack lets loose a sinister laugh before shoving Bryte's leg away...ONLY TO HAVE HIM RIDE HIS MOMENTUM BACK AROUND FOR A DRAGON WHIP!!!!!!!

 

COLE

Dragon Whip by Bryte! Zack caught it right on the jaw! COVER!!!!!!

 

The referee slides into position to count the fall...

 

 

 

1....

 

 

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

 

 

THR--NO!!!!!! Just two!

 

Stunned, Bryte points a furious finger at Hebner, questioning the count.

 

 

"YOU SCREWED BRET! YOU SCREWED BRET! YOU SCREWED BRET!"

 

COACH

BIZZAROOOOO WORLD~!

 

Hebner stands by his decision though, making sure to flip off the crowd whilst doing so. So Bryte leaps back to his feet, encouraging Zack to get back up. Up staggers Zack, catching a boot, before Bryte turns back to back with him and hooks the arms.

 

"ALWAYS LOOK... ON THE BRYTE SIDE!!"

 

Bryte looks to turn now, but before he can, Leon Rodez springs into life. He hits the ropes in front of Bryte, who freezes in shock as Rodez manages to club him with a clothesline! Bryte flips over Zack's back, as he comes up from the doubled over position. Quickly, Rodez applies a front facelock on Zack and charges, kicking off of Bryte and SWINGING AROUND WITH A DDT!!!

 

COLE

OOHHHH! He PLANTED him!

 

Zack flops up and then back down. Silky Smooth isn't done though, catching the dazed Bryte in a waistlock from the front, pops him over and nails an overhead belly to belly! Bryte crashes behind Zack, both men eventually helping each other up. Meanwhile, wearily, Rodez lines the two men up. He charges, but Bryte is still alert and ducks Rodez as he charges, dragging down his preppy 'partner in crime' and causing Rodez to charge headlong through the ropes, hitting the floor with a devastating splat!!! The crowd groan, as quickly Bryte rolls to the floor, stomping away on Rodez furiously. Zack meanwhile staggers around the ring, his equilibrium, screwed up. Leaving Bryte on the floor, picking Rodez up and scooping him, dropping Rodez face-first into the ring apron! Rodez slumps against the ring, while Bryte stops. Staring a hole through the X-Division Champion, Bryte suddenly bends down...AND PULLS UP THE PROTECTIVE MATS ON THE FLOOR!

 

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"[/i][/i]

 

COLE

Wait just a second!

 

CABOOSE

Bryte may have snapped. His alliance with Zack didn't win him the belt, he couldn't beat Zack off that Dragon Whip. Desperate times call for desperate measures I guess.

 

COLE

He's not desperate. He's SICK! He wants to CRIPPLE Leon Rodez.

 

With the concrete floor exposed, a sickening sneer washes over Bryte's face. Quickly he grabs Rodez and doubles him over with a knee over the concrete. Zack is now aware of his surroundings but as he watches this going on, he decides that he's done enough for one night to deserve a breather. Leaving Bryte free to set up Rodez...FOR A BRYTE OUT ON THE FLOOR!?!

 

COLE

Oh my god...NO!

 

COACH

He's gonna finish him for good guys, and Zack's gonna let him!

 

Stopping, Bryte smiles, savouring the moment, savouring what he's about to do.

 

CABOOSE

Well, I guess you could call this our first Royal Rumble elimination tonight. Unless you count Panther of cou...

 

Caboose suddenly stops short though, as the lights begin to dim! The crowd erupt as they seem to know what this means, Zack Malibu just about visable in the ring, yelling at Hebner...

 

 

 

...as "State Prop (You Know Us)" by State Property hits...

 

 

 

 

 

"YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

 

 

...AND THE CROWD EEEEERRRRRUUUUPPTT!!!

 

 

COLE

SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!

 

Smoke fills the stage as Bryte has now released Rodez, shocked. Just like Zack. AS PANTHER EMERGES THROUGH THE SMOKE!!! The crowd EXPLODE again as Panther jogs down the aisle as best possible, clearly not 100%, but coming right at Bryte. Bryte is ready to meet him, but Panther beats him to the punch, laying out Bryte! Bryte goes down and the hyped up Panther stomps the hell out of Bryte in the aisleway...

 

 

 

...as sneakily, Zack Malibu has slid out of the ring and is bundling Rodez in! Half the crowd are cheering on Panther, half booing Zack, as The Franchise of the OAOAST as he cradles up Rodez and screams at Hebner to count!

 

 

 

1....

 

 

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

 

 

THR--NO!!!!!! Rodez gets a shoulder up!!

 

CABOOSE

Damn it, this can't be happening!

 

COLE

It is Boose, seeing is believing!

 

CABOOSE

Bu...but, he wasn't introduced Cole. He shouldn't be allowed to enter halfway through the damn match!

 

As Zack curses his luck and starts to pull Rodez up, Panther is sliding into the ring. Zack breaks from Rodez, going after Panther. But Panther evades Zack's grasp and sets. Around turns Zack, lumbering into a 3/4 facelock...AND THE PANTHER CUTTER!! Another huge roar fills the air as Zack lands face-first, Panther rolling to his feet. Somehow Zack is able to pull himself up, but Panther is waiting, clothesline Zack up and over the top, to the floor! Rodez meanwhile pulls himself up, using Panther as a kickstand to get to his feet. Words of thanks are exchanged from Panther to Rodez, as the X-Division Champion looks to follow out after Zack...

 

...but Panther whips around around by the wrist...

 

 

 

 

...AND HITS RODEZ WITH THE PANTHER CUTTER!!!

 

COACH

Wha!?!

 

CABOOSE

YES! I mean...NO! I...I mean...COME ON ZACK!!

 

The crowd are in shock, as Panther makes the cover...

 

 

 

 

1...

 

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

 

 

3--NO!!!!! Just TWO!

 

"YEEEEEEEE -- OOOOOHHHHHHHH"

 

A mized reaction from the crowd greets the kickout as Panther holds his head in despair. Meanwhile, Chris Byrte is back in the ring. Quickly Bryte kicks his arch nemesis in the kidneys, weakening him enough to push Panther into the turnbuckles. Bryte offloads with punches and kicks. Meanwhile, Zack slides back into the ring, simply choking Rodez on the mat.

 

COLE

Well, we've got a fourway dance on our hands now folks!

 

Zack releases his choke before a five count, while Bryte backs away from Panther. Turning, Bryte gives a nod to Zack, who returns the nod. Bryte then grabs Panther, whipping him out of the corner...PANTHER DUCKS A ROUNDHOUSE KICK! Zack pirohuettes on the spot, getting waistlocked and german'd~! by Panther! Quickly Bryte charges. But Panther ducks his clothesline, waistlocks and germans~! Bryte! Rodez is meanwhile stumbling to his feet, dazed. Panther switches behind him too and looks to make it three as he waistlocks the X-Division Champion, only to eat his elbow. Releasing, Panther staggers away. Rodez grabs in an inerted front facelock and gribs Panther's shorts and flipping him up and over...PANTHER LANDS ON HIS FEET. Blocking the Street Smarts, Panther pushes Rodez into the ropes. Back rushes Rodez, Panther diving over his head-down charge and sunset flipping Rodez...

 

 

 

1...

 

 

 

 

 

2...

 

 

 

 

 

 

3--NO!!!!! Just TWO!

 

 

Panther scrambles back up, but suddenly, he's crashed into by Malibu and Bryte. The two men pound away on Panther with forearms and punches before hooking him up, looking for a double hiptoss. Panther lands on his feet. Escaping, Panther then catches Malibu and Bryte with back elbows before suddenly dropping to his hands and knees as he sees Rodez charging. And Rodez springs off of Panther's back, KICKING BOTH BRYTE AND ZACK IN THE FACE!!!!

 

"YEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

 

Both men crash through the ropes and to the floor, as Rodez kicks Panther quickly in the face, before setting up a dive. Off he runs, BUT PANTHER SPINKICKS HIM IN THE JAW!! Rodez crashes backwards as Panther completely forgets about him, instead charging the ropes, sprinting acoss the ring AND WIPING OUT MALIBU AND BRYTE WITH A CORKSCREW PLANCHAAAAAAAAAAA~~~!!!!!

 

 

"PAN - THER! PAN - THER! PAN - THER!"

 

COLE

My word, what a dive!

 

CABOOSE

But he shouldn't have done it Cole. Panther has left himself in a bad way.

 

Malibu and Bryte are both completely laid out on the floor while Panther rolls back into the ring, holding his ribs and not looking completely 100% again.

 

 

 

Which allows Rodez to drop-toe-hold Panther to the mat AND APPLY THE CHICK MAGNET!!!!

 

"YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

 

The crowd cheer despite loyalty to Panther, as the cravaté is locked in and Panther is writhing in pain. Panther desperatly tries to crawl towards the ropes. But the beating that PRL gave him days ago is coming back to haunt him and with no Zack Malibu, no Chris Bryte, and the Royal Rumble still to come. The chance to get at PRL, still to come. Simply, there is no choice...

 

 

 

 

 

*TAP TAP TAP!*

 

But to give it up!

 

"YEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

 

The cheer goes up for Rodez as he releases Panther and instantly leaps to his side, checking that he's okay.

 

BUFFER

Your winner of this contest and STILL OAOAST X-Division Champion of the wooooorrrrrlllldd... LLLEEEOOOONN RRRRROOOODDEEEZZZZZZZ!!!

 

Toronto erupts as Rodez smiles away to himself as he gives Panther a hand up to his knees, Panther graious in defeat as he shrugs and shakes Rodez's hand. Meanwhile, the X-Division Title is handed by Hebner, to Rodez. And with a smile, Rodez warns Panther not to touch. On the outside, the dejected figures of Zack Malibu and Chris Bryte leave, bickering all the way up the ramp, while Rodez raises his belt aloft in the air.

 

COLE

Leon Rodez, STILL X-Division Champion. And now, for these four men, it's a case of resting up for the Royal Rumble match still to come.

 

CABOOSE

If that's possible. This was a war for...well, three of the four. And Panther's screwed anyway.

 

COLE

Jackie is standing by backstage with the Women's champion Holly-Wood. Let's go backstage.

Jackie Gayda is backstage in the ACTIONzone with Women’s Champion, Holly-Wood.

 

JACKIE

Holly, earlier you were ringside with The Saints when they lost their important tag team match against The New New Midnight Express. The guys didn’t seem very happy with you. In fact they were yelling at you because they seem to think you cost them the tag team match! Your thoughts?

 

HOLLY-WOOD

I don’t wanna talk about it.

 

JACKIE

I know it may be Arista policy not to talk about internal blowups, but if you..

 

HOLLY

No, it’s Holly’s policy not to talk about things Holly doesn’t want to talk about. Get me?

 

JACKIE

But, the fans have a right to know.

 

HOLLY

Fuck the fans. Fuck The Midnight Express. Fuck Stan Lane. Fuck Bobby Eaton. Fuck Synth Esizer. Fuck Logan Mann especially. Fuck Charles Robinson. Fuck Bill Watts. Fuck Candie. Fuck the OAOAST. Fuck your interview. And most of all fuck you.

 

Holly gives Jackie Gayda the finger as she exits the action zone.

 

COACH

I like a woman that’s not afraid to speak on matters.

 

CABOOSE

Coach, you like any woman that’s not dead.

 

APWomens.jpg

 

Truth or Dare hits, putting the crowd into a rather unhappy mood. A chorus of boos is sent throughout the sold out venue as The Queen of HeldDOWN emerges from the back! Candie, dressed in sexy glittering silver shorts, and a red tank top, sits arrogantly on a tacky, bejeweled, golden throne. The OAOAST’s royalty is being held up by numerous oiled up Canadian hardbodies. Leaving almost nothing to the imagination, the beefcakes are wearing skimpy Tarzan like loin cloths that barely manage to cover all the right (or wrong) places.

 

COLE

I’d love to get one of these hunks to lumberjack my wood.

 

CABOOSE

Cole, control yourself. We’ve got a match to do.

 

BUFFER

The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a Five Minutes in Heaven Match! The rules are as follows; the match can end by pinfall, submission, count out or disqualification. But it must end within five minutes! Now making her way to the ring, from Malibu, California, she is the Queen of the OAOAST! CANDDDDIEEEEE!

 

With two of her sexiest jungle boys lending aid, Candie dismounts her gaudy throne. She’s awash in a sea of venom from the audience and stares at them with sharp disapproval. The stunning diva bows condescendingly for her unloyal subjects before rolling into the ring.

 

COLE

Folks, Candie’s only pay per view victory came against Holly-Wood. But that was almost a year ago. These two tore each other apart for two straight weeks leading up to Anglepalooza, forcing Bill Watts to make this match as short as possible so they wouldn’t do further damage to each other.

 

COACH

I think Bill Watts made this a five minute match because of time constraints. There’s a cage match, a rumble, a world title match and a four way for the X title! Good lord, I’d be shocked if this went longer then three minutes!

 

CABOOSE

Thank you for breaking kayfabe, Coach.

 

COACH

Who’s Kay Fabe? Does she do DP?

 

Truth or Dare fades out. Stepping into its place is Another Body Murdered. The curtain violently swings open as if it was taken by a powerful gust of wind from a hurricane! Clad in leather pants and a leather biker jacket, The Women’s Champion enters the arena to a smattering of cheers.

 

COACH

Most of time it seems like Holly pisses ice water. She’s has about as much emotion as a rock. But she seemed genuinely upset at The Saints blaming her for their loss earlier tonight against the Midnight Express. I found that odd. She always acts like she doesn't want to be bothered with Logan and Synth. But maybe she does like them.

 

CABOOSE

If she was going to get upset she shouldn’t have bothered costing them the match the first place! GAWRSH!

 

BUFFER

And the champion...from Hollywood, California..appearing courtesy of Arista Records....HOLLY-WOOOODDD!

 

Holly walks down the ramp way, with the extravagant, jaw droppingly pricey, diamond encrusted title sparkling around her waist.

 

COACH

Really, is her last name Wood? Her first name is Holly, but its too unbearable to think that someone would be cruel enough to name their kid after the city they were born in.

 

Holly hits the ring and Referee Billy Silverman takes up the unenviable task of preventing Candie from trying to maul her like a wild Canadian grizzly! The Saints’ image consultant removes her jacket to reveal a black mesh shirt covering a white bikini top. Candie continues to rant and rave like an utter lunatic while Holly looks on blankly.

 

COLE

Folks, I don’t suggest getting up to make yourself a sandwich. By the time you’re done, this match just might be over!

 

After finally getting Candie to settle down, Silverman calls for the bell!

 

DING DING DING

 

After the bell rings a tiny clock appears on screen.

 

The match kicks off with Holly immediately going behind Candie for a waistlock! There’s a brief struggle over a German suplex attempt. Candie wins the contest by spinning behind Holly and getting a waistlock of her own! The younger wrestler lifts Holly up for an amateur style takedown, but Holly tilts her body forward and smartly counters with a roll up!

KICK OUT!

 

CABOOSE

No matter who wins this match, there will be a rematch this week on HeldDOWN~!

 

Both women spring to their feet! Teeming with intensity Candie launches herself at a much calmer Holly, only to get taken over with a sleeper hold! The rest hold could prove catastrophic to Candie’s quest for gold, as every moment spent in the hold is a waste of seconds that are more precious then the diamonds on the title belt. Understanding this, Candie battles her way out of the sleeper hold! She frees herself from the move and attacks her opposer with a DDT! BUT! Holly blocks that with a Northern Lights Suplex into a bridge!

KICK OUT!

 

Grabbing a fistful of her adversary’s hair, Holly drags Candie to her feet. She tries to take her into a front face lock, but meets with strong opposition as Candie counters merely by shoving Holly into the ropes! Holly rushes back at Candie and is flung to the ground with an arm drag! Zack’s gal pal tries to turn the take down into an armbar, however lady luck isn’t on her side as Holly through rolls and hops to her feet! Stunned that her opponent was able to recover so easily, Candie doesn’t even think to block the spinning back kick Holly directs at her chest!

 

COACH

The length of this match isn’t a problem for Holly. If time runs out and we wind up with a draw, Holly’s still the champ.

 

The redheaded diva twists her body around and blasts a hurting Candie with another spinning back kick! She staggers backwards, clutching her ribs and her chest, attempting to put some distance between herself and her slightly taller opponent. Problematically, Candie’s effort proves incredibly futile as Holly forces her into a front face lock, putting her escape on lock down!

 

COACH

Oooooh!

 

COLE

What an odd noise.

 

COACH

Funny, your sister seemed to like it last night.

 

Before Candie can even mount a suitable defense, The Saints’ image consultant flings her over with a Rodeo Driver (Twisting Fisherman’s suplex)! Silverman drops down to make the pin count!

KICK OUT!

 

The crowd boos the kickout lustily, but deep down they can’t help but be impressed by Candie’s resiliency!

 

Holly pulls Candie upright! Wasting little time because there is none to waste, she peppers her opposite with race car fast kicks to the shins! Each blow is like tiny bolts of lightning dancing painfully around Candie’s leg! She tries to cover up by turning her body to the side, but it’s a poor defense against Holly’s lethal attacks! Satisfied with the damage done by her leg led assault, the twenty nine year old lifts Candie up for a basic body slam but that gets turned into a small package!

2

 

 

 

KICK OUT!

 

“CANDIE SWALLOWS! CANDIE SWALLOWS!” chants the crowd.

 

COACH

Don’t I know it. Wait! I didn’t mean that! Don’t kill me Zack! I know we tight, playa!

 

Holly takes a knee while slowly running her hands through her soft blood colored hair. Candie, seeking to keep momentum in her favor, dashes at Holly for god knows what! Despite her opponent running with more force then a run away truck, Holly-Wood is still able to snare her with a spine buster! But Candie counters the move that’s a finisher for so many OAOAST stars with a roll up!

KICK OUT!

 

COLE

Two minutes and some change left!

 

The former Totally Endorsed member grabs Holly into a standing full nelson! Gathering that something much worse is forthcoming, Holly wildly flails her legs in front of her, and twists her body around like it was a rag doll! All of this frenzied movement prevents her egomaniacal attacker from nailing her intended full nelson slam. Visibly overwhelmed by frustration, Candie drops down to the mat and pulls Holly down with her with a school boy!

 

1

 

 

 

KICK OUT!

 

Before Holly is even standing her hated rival is running the ropes! The champion starts to stand up but the challenger leaps over her with a sunset flip, trying to put her back down on the mat for three of the mos pivotal seconds of their young lives! Maddingly for Candie, Holly is strong in her refusal to fall backwards into a pin!

 

Candie screams and hollers like a baby denied of its pacifier as she orders Holly to come down to the canvas! “Go down you ugly whore!”

 

COACH

That’s exactly what I said last night to your mom, Mikey.

 

Fighting against father time, who seems to be moving faster then ever, and her own frayed nerves, Candie tugs and tugs at Holly! Veins seem to explode out of every inch of her body, beads of sweat pop off her like popcorn, and her teeth are almost grinding themselves into dust! Finally, Holly counters the move by dropping down on Candie’s face and shoulders and getting a pin of her own!

 

COACH

Oooh, that’s a position the Coach loves to find himself in.

 

1

 

 

2

 

 

 

KICK OUT!

 

The ladies are back on their feet. Transformed into a nervous wreck, Candie moves with more speed then Speedy Gonzales! She charges towards the corner and jumps onto the top turnbuckle! From there she rockets her slender model-like body at Holly with a cross body block! However the incumbent catches the feisty challenger in her arms! This highly annoying counter contributes to Candie’s increasing distress! Her own inner disquiet looks like it may defeat her before Holly gets the chance!

 

CABOOSE

Holly has a hold of Candie!

 

COLE

Hey! Stating the obvious is my job, buster.

 

Holly drops down to her knee and slams Candie’s ribcage against it! The Cosmo worthy beauty hollers out in bedeviled plague! Not so much because the rib breaker hurt but because she can see her championship dreams fading into the darkness of oblivion with each tick of the clock. With Candie still in her possession, Holly stands up, spins Candie in front of her and nails the vexing bitch with a Rock Bottom!

 

CABOOSE

Cole, do something! Candie’s gonna lose! I’m sharing a rental car with her and Zack! I can’t stand to listen to her pissing and moaning for the hour long trip to the airport!

 

The fan’s come alive as Holly-Wood starts to apply her killer finisher, The Hollywood Groove (Liontamer!). Seeing the life of her title belt fantasies flash before her ocean blue eyes, Candie is overtaken by a strong sense of resoluteness! She fights Holly’s submission every step of way, never once giving an inch! She flops her way around the ring totally disallowing Holly from properly applying the move. Candie shoots her body up and pulls a surprised Holly down for a roll up!

 

1

 

 

 

2

 

 

KICK OUT

 

COLE

Forty seconds left!

 

Candie is fully aware that if there was any possibility that time was on her side, it just got snuffed out when the clock hit the half minute mark! Yearning for the chance to hold a championship, Candie is ablaze with a fighter’s passion! Hugely impatient, she hollers at Holly to get up! When the leather wearing warrior does, Candie rushes at her with a lariat! DUCKED! Now Holly throws a boomerang clothesline! But Candie turns around just in time to duck it! The audience, who isn’t a fan of either woman, is on their feet gripped by the pure excitement of the finish! Candie comes back at Holly with a School’s Out! Holly somehow blocks Candie’s foot and counters with a super kick of her own! NO! Candie rolls underneath Holly’s death-dealing leg! She goes behind her and nails her with a backdrop into a pin! The fans don’t know wether to cheer or boo, so their shouts come out a garbled mess.

 

1

 

 

 

 

 

2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUZZZZZ!

 

CABOOSE

That’s the buzzer! The match is over!

 

Those in attendance quickly start to converse amongst themselves, unsure of what the outcome of the duel is.

 

COACH

Did Holly have Candie down for three? The buzzer went off and Billy Silverman just stopped counting. But at the same time Holly never kicked out.

 

COLE

But did Holly not kick out because the buzzer went off, ending the match? That’s a good question. None of this would mattered if Silverman had gone through with his count. He was 3/4th of the way there and then when the buzzer sounded he stopped.

 

One look at Candie’s face will clear away the clouds that shroud the result of the match. She’s heartbroken. Her fragile ego is crushed into thousands of pieces and not even the strongest glue on the world could put it back together. Holly, now leaning against the turnbuckles, has a scowl on her face. Although that could be due to a number of things not related to this match.

 

Buffer stands up and makes the match ending official.

 

BUFFER

The winner..and still OAOAST Women’s Champion...HOLLY-WOOOOOD!

 

The announcement is met with a polite round of applause.

 

COLE

Holly-Wood experiencing success while Synth and Logan taste bitter defeat. Can’t believe that’ll please The Saints. I’d hate to be on that tour bus.

 

COACH

Are you kidding me? They got Belladonna on that tour bus! Have you seen what that chick can do with a baseball bat? Get the fuck outta here, playa. Get me on that ride, I’ll show all them my Louisville slugger. Jigga what?

COACH

Yo, guys, that Women's Title match was off da HOOK!

 

CABOOSE

"Off da hook?" Am I sitting to Tazz all of the sudden?

 

TAZZ

OFF DA CHAIN!!

 

CABOOSE

Wait, WHAT?! Where'd you come from?!?

 

TAZZ

Uh....

 

Security escorts Tazz out of the building and back to the Red Hook section of Brooklyn, probably.

 

CABOOSE

Actually, he's one of my favorite announcers. Better than you two, anyway.

 

COLE

Hey!

 

CABOOSE

Heh.

 

COLE

Well in any event we've had a wild night here. That great women's match, as the Coach mentioned, as well as new tag team champs. But up next is going to be one sick, vicious match: the steel cage match between Hoff and Chris Stevens.

 

COACH

Yeah, this is gonna be one hell of a match, and you see the crew lowering the cage now. We're going with the old-school, throwback style, as you see the classic blue bars, the cage that has seen so many great matches over the years.

 

CABOOSE

Absolutely. Who could forget the classic matches with guys like Bret and Owen Hart, Sting --

 

COACH

I hear he's your boyfrie*smack*OW!!

 

CABOOSE

-- Ric Flair, Vader, Shawn Michaels, I mean, just so many great stars have waged war in that classic cage, and we could be poised for another great one tonight.

 

COLE

This issue of course goes way back, back all the way to Hoff's beginnings as a professional in Minnesota.

 

CABOOSE

Hoff and Stevens immediately developed a rivalry that nearly tore the Minneapolis scene apart!

 

COLE

From there, it was on to the WWE, our own rivals, where the two almost buried the hatchet.

 

COACH

Right, but as I know, the WWE has erased nearly all traces of their stay there from record! What happened is anyone's guess!

 

COLE

From there, they took their rivalry overseas, to Japan, and after some great matches abroad, both men found their way here to the OAOAST!

 

CABOOSE

Two very different careers, but each has been at the other's throat the entire time, and this may be the culmination, as one of these men might not make it out of here!

 

COLE

There's a lot of pent-up emotion in this match, and we will see that emotion let out here tonight.

 

CABOOSE

Well, Cole, for seemingly the past six months, it has seemed like Chris Stevens has been the agressor in this feud. Now, finally, Hoff has stepped up and started fighting, putting Stevens on the defensive.

 

COLE

Hoff said it earlier tonight, "I hope you have your running shoes, because I am very, very angry."

 

COACH

Well when you've been through a career-threatening injury, you tend to be a little pissed at the guy who gave it to ya.

 

COLE

We all know the history. It culminates tonight at Anglepalooza. Caboose, take us to your keys to victory.

 

CABOOSE

Gladly. If Hoff wants to win this match, it's real simple. He needs to stay angry. Hoff has been on the shelf for a long time, but he looked good taking out Stevens' hitman Jumbo a couple weeks back. He's crisp, he's clean, and he's not showing any signs of ring rust. If he can stay focused tonight, he might -- sadly -- be able to tear Chris Stevens limb from limb.

 

COLE

And what about Stevens, what should his game plan be?

 

CABOOSE

Chris Stevens needs to do the things he's been doing all along. He needs to stay quick, stay on his feet, and stay AWAY from Hoff. If Stevens plays a smart match, capitalizing on his opponent's mistakes like he's known for, he might be able to outlast Hoff. Neither of these men are in the Rumble match later tonight, but endurance is definitely a key. The man who can take the biggest beating will probably come out on top. The other guy might not come out at all.

 

COLE

There you have it, folks, so let's take it to Michael Buffer at ringside!

 

The cameras cut to the ring, with the steel cage in place. Referee Charles Robinson is in the ring, while Billy Silverman stands at the cage door with lock and key in hand. Michael Buffer, due to the rather large cage-shaped object, stands behind the ring, near the announce table. Err, couch. You know what I mean.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages. It is now time for our STEEL CAAAAAAAAGE ATTRACTION!!!

 

The audience cheers-- but the cheers swing violently to boos as Chris Stevens' familiar theme song kicks in!

 

BUFFER

Introducing first, from Rochester, Minnesota, and weighing in tonight at 220 pounds... He is an eight-year veteran of the sport, a man whose star has risen in the OAOAST, headlining shows across the nation. A technical master, and a true battle-scarred warrior. Ladies and gentlemen, CHRRRRRR-IS STEEEEEE-VENS!!!!!!!

 

Stevens walks down the aisle, trying to ignore the fans, but, spying a large "Future Shock Him Hoff!" sign, Stevens stops to trade barbs with the sign's schoolaged author.

 

COLE

So there we see Chris Stevens, who looks a little on edge!

 

COACH

Well DAYUM, Mikey, I would be too! After all Hoff has said and done lately, I'd--

 

CABOOSE

YOU'D wet the bed. Chris Stevens is a seasoned professional, and he's going to show us all that he's not afraid of Hoff.

 

COLE

That remains to be seen!

 

CABOOSE

Ah, piss off, Cole.

 

Stevens points a finger at the eight-year-old fan as he walks off, before looking up and taking a big, deep breath. Stevens swallows as he looks over the cage, then walks up the ring steps and through the cage door. The boos are all but deafening as Stevens tests the cage's give, as well as the ropes.

 

COLE

Stevens is at the height of his dispopularity.

 

CABOOSE

These fans don't know talent.

 

COLE

They know what this man did!

 

CABOOSE

Bollocks! Hoff did the same thing to the man challenging for the World Title tonight! AJ got over it, and if that sissy can get over the injury, Hoff can too. Man, he used to be such a badass...

 

COLE

He's a changed man, no doubt about it.

 

The lights come up briefly as Stevens' theme song fades out...replaced by the arena going black.

 

CUE: "Black"

 

The fans hit their feet!! The opening riff blares and...

 

BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM~!*

 

Fireworks go off, and the arena goes CRAZY as Hoff steps onto the stage!!

 

COLE

HERE HE IS!!!

 

Hoff steps through the curtain and onto the stage as his hard rock, heavy-metal theme fills the air. The fans are BESIDE themselves, giving the big man one amazing standing O.

 

CABOOSE

I hate these people...

 

Hoff looks left, then looks right, then waves the people up, turning this crowd EVEN LOUDER!! Buffer's voice is barely audible over all the noise...

 

BUFFER

And his opponent this evening. From Minneapolis, Minnesota, and weighing in at 275 pounds...he has come back from a career-threatening injury to get his revenge. The Uncrowned Heavyweight Champion of the World, here is.....HOFFF!!!!!!!!

 

COLE

LISTEN TO THIS OVATION!!

 

Hoff walks down to the aisle, keeping his eyes focused on Chris Stevens, who stands in the cage, looking on with a very unreadable expression on his face. Hoff steps through the cage door and into the ring, stopping and staring Stevens down, leveling a finger at him...before scaling the corner of the cage!!

 

CABOOSE

Where's he off to now?

 

Hoff climbs up the blue bars and gets almost to the top of the cage, leaning on the steel at about waist-level. Hoff looks out at the crowd, and throws his fist into the air, letting out a guttural yell, driving the fans MAD!! The Hoff chant breaks out, audible over the very-loud theme music.

 

COACH

Guys, this is totally insane. Hoff has these people BUMPIN'!

 

CABOOSE

He's gonna have Chris Stevens bumping soon, that's what I worry about.

 

Hoff climbs down after soaking the reaction in, hopping down to the turnbuckles and then to the floor. The arena lights come up as Hoff's theme dies down, and referee Robinson waves the two men together.

 

COLE

Now for those of you watching at home who haven't seen a cage match before, the rules are simple. There are no countouts, no disqualifications...

 

The referee explains the rules to both Stevens and Hoff, while Cole does the same for the millions of fans at home.

 

COLE

There is also no time limit in this particular match. There's three ways to win...

 

Robinson checks Hoff for illegal objects, and finds none.

 

COLE

As per a standard match, you can win via pinfall or submission...

 

Robinson checks Stevens for foreign objects and comes up empty as well, although that certainly doesn't mean they're not there. You know how referees are with heels. Oblivious.

 

COLE

Or, one of the competitors can escape from the cage, either through the door or over the top, and land on the floor with both feet touching. Now, the door will be locked, but a competitor can request it to be opened if and only if he's sufficiently incapacitated his opponent.

 

CABOOSE

You think the simps at home got all that?

 

COLE

Be nice.

 

The referee takes a step back, looks at both competitors, and calls for the bell.

 

*ding ding ding ding ding*

 

COACH

Awwwww yeah-uh! Here we go boys!!

 

The bell rings, and the two men stay still, staring at each other for one brief moment...before Hoff CHARGES at Stevens to a HUGE pop! Stevens quickly spins and runs, heading for the cage wall! Stevens hops onto the steel, grabbing at it, but Hoff reaches him and grabs him by the hair, YANKING him down and off the steel! The fans go BANANA as Hoff ROARS for Stevens to get up! Stevens holds his head for a brief second, before crawling away and hopping to his feet!

 

CABOOSE

My man Stevens looks awfully quick tonight...

 

COACH

Good thing for him.

 

Stevens again makes a mad dash for the cage, but as soon as he reaches the wall, Hoff grabs him by the shoulder and spins him around! Stevens turns, right into a HUGE right hand from Hoff! Stevens' jaw snaps backwards, and he stumbles into the ropes. Hoff grabs Stevens by the hair and runs across the ring with him, flinging him full-tilt into the cage! Stevens hits the steel FACE-FIRST and falls like dead weight, landing throat-first acorss the bottom rope, snapping backwards, and landing in a heap in the mat.

 

COACH

DAYUM~!

 

Stevens barely stirs before Hoff yanks him to his feet by the hair! Hoff drags Stevens to the near wall, rears back, and RAMS Stevens' face into the cage! Hoff lets go, and Stevens staggers violently backwards, falling onto his rear end and clutching at his face. Stevens looks up to see an angry Hoff stalking towards him, and he scuttles backwards before quickly getting to his feet and making a run for it! Stevens gets to the corner and hops up, but Hoff grabs him by the arm from behind and THROWS him off, sending him down HARD from the corner onto his back! Stevens' back arches in pain as the fans cheer! Hoff looks down at Stevens for a breif moment, before picking him back up. Hoff raises Stevens to his full height, rears back, and CLOBERS Stevens with a HUGE right hand that sends him back down!!

 

"HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF HOFF"

 

COLE

These fans are with Hoff on every blow!

 

CABOOSE

This isn't good, this is not good....

 

Hoff waves Stevens up as the veteran grappler tries to find his bearings. Stevens finally gets to his hands and knees, facing away from Hoff, and begins to crawl. Finding the ropes, Stevens climbs up, getting to his feet. Stevens supports himself on the ropes, leaning, breathing heavy, before turning around...

 

*WHAM*

 

...into a HUGE right hand from Hoff!! Stevens falls down, collapsing into the ropes, half-seated on the bottom strand. Stevens falls on his ass, hitting the mat, and Hoff bends down to grab him by the hair...but Stevens snaps a kick to the right kneecap of Hoff, sending the big man down with a yowl of pain. The fans let Stevens have it...

 

"BOOOOOOOOO"

 

The jeers don't seem to faze Stevens, though, as he uses the ropes to pull himself up. Stevens takes a moment to clear his head, shaking the cobwebs free, before looking down at Hoff, who is clutching his knee with a severe grimace on his face. Stevens slowly smiles a sick smile...

 

COLE

Uh-oh. It looks like Stevens may have found a weakness.

 

COACH

We knew he was gonna test that knee of Hoff, and now I guess we'll see how healed he is!

 

CABOOSE

I hear he was rehabbing with that Terrell Owens. They're both whiny bitches.

 

COLE

Will you stop.

 

Stevens stalks over to Hoff, pacing around the downed big man. Stevens smirks before leveling a HARD thrusting stomp to the knee, causing Hoff to cry out in pain. The fans boo as Hoff rolls over, away from Stevens, who paces around Hoff. Stevens begins shouting obscneities at Hoff, who tries valiantly to hop up. Stevens waits until Hoff is almost to a vertical base...then SNAPS off a soccer kick to the back of the knee, sending Hoff right back down.

 

COACH

This is looking like bad news for the Hoffstepper.

 

COLE

Hoff electing not to wear any extra protection beyond his standard kneepads, which could prove to be a costly mistake.

 

Hoff lands on his stomach, and pulls his right leg closer to him. Stevens laughs cynically before grabbing Hoff's hair, pulling the big man up limping. Stevens grabs Hoff by the leg, and torques him over with a dragon screw legwhip, sending Hoff down with a cry. Stevens rolls back up to his feet and laughs at his own actions, drawing a big jeer from the Toronto crowd. Stevens walks over to Hoff and picks him up, scoops him, and slams the big man down. Stevens wastes no time grabbing the right leg of the prone Hoff, lifting it up and driving a kick straight to the kneecap. Hoff twists in pain, flinging his leg away from Stevens' grasp. Stevens grabs the leg again, turning Hoff back onto his back, and lays the leg on the ground, then delivers a double stomp to the side of the injured knee, causing Hoff to SCREAM in pain. Hoff rolls over onto his stomach, causing the malevolent Stevens to laugh again.

 

"YOU SUCK"

"YOU SUCK"

"YOU SUCK"

"YOU SUCK"

 

Stevens waves Hoff off, dismissing the big man as he tries to get to his feet. Stevens calls out for referee Billy Sliverman on the outside, asking that the door be opened. The ref obliges, swinging the steel door open.

 

COLE

Stevens is gonna win this thing in a walk! I can't believe it!

 

CABOOSE

Believe it, baby.

 

Stevens smiles, takes a step toward the door, and suddenly gets PLOWED from behind by a lunging Hoff!

 

COACH

WHOA!

 

COLE

Where'd he come from?!

 

Hoff dives to stop Stevens, tackling him from behind. Hoff quickly grabs his knee before shifting his arm up, clawing at Stevens' face. The referee, looking on, closes the cage door, locking the two men in once again. Stevens crawls away from Hoff, kicking him in the face as he escapes. Stevens hops to his feet and meets Hoff, who again tries to get up. Stevens, scowling, pulls Hoff up...and Hoff nails him in the gut with a big right forearm! Stevens doubles over, and now Hoff gets to his feet! Favoring his right side slightly, Hoff grabs Stevens by the hair and drives a BIG fist into his face, sending him into the ropes! Stevens bounces off, and Hoff grabs him by the throat and THROWS him to the center of the ring! The fans go wild as Hoff lands on his left knee, his right leg giving out. Hoff quickly gets back up, shaking out his right leg in an attempt to get it working again.

 

COLE

There's some fight left in Hoff yet!

 

Stevens gets back up and storms toward Hoff, who grabs him in a collar and elbow tie-up. Hoff turns and uses his weight to drive Stevens into the corner. The ref calls for the break, and Hoff steps back, but then drives a shoulder into the ribcage of Stevens! Hoff steps back, grabbing at his knee, then ducks down again and drives the shoulder into Stevens a second time!

 

COLE

Hoff slowing the pace down here, trying to work his type of match.

 

Hoff again drives the shoulder into Stevens, doubling Stevens over. Hoff stands up slowly, with a slight grimace, then grabs Stevens by the arm and whips him cross-corner. Stevens lands in the far buckle with a thud, and Hoff slowly walks across the ring after him, allowing Stevens time to regain his composure and send a dropkick at Hoff...but the big man sidesteps and Stevens hits the mat! Hoff's knee buckles as he dodges, but he manages to keep his footing. Stevens lands on his back, grimacing in pain before he rolls over onto his knees. Stevens gets up, but Hoff is right there, grabbing Stevens by the shoulders and throwing him into the side of the cage! From out of nowhere, Hoff CHARGES and SANDIWCHES Stevens with a big clothesline! Hoff smashes Stevens into the wall, then falls to the side, holding his knee yet again. Stevens crumples, the wind seemingly knocked out of him.

 

COACH

That knee of Hoff is barely holding up, but it is holding!

 

CABOOSE

Sure, but for how long?

 

Hoff climbs up the ropes as another massive "HOFF" chant echoes throughout the arena. Hoff pulls Stevens up groggy, and grabs his rival by the hair. Hoff, half-limping, again dashes toward a nearby face of the cage, rears back, and FLINGS Stevens into the steel, sending the veteran down clutching his face! Hoff wastes no time lifting Stevens up again, and storming to the opposite wall! Hoff rears back and HURLS Stevens face-first into the steel!! The fans get PUMPED as Stevens smashes into the steel and falls backwards, landing on his shoulders and neck and rolling backwards onto his stomach! Hoff pumps his fist, then grabs Stevens yet again!

 

COLE

Hoff is building some steam!

 

Barely favoring his right kne at all now, Hoff again grabs Stevens by the hair and drags him to the cage wall! Hoff rears back and SMASHES Stevens' head into the cage, but he doesn;t let go! Hoff keeps ahold of his foe, and rears back again, and again, and again, SMASHING Stevens' skull and face into the steel! The fans are in a frenzy as Hoff pulls Stevens back, looks at his groggy face, and throws him once more into the steel, letting him collapse on the top rope before crumpling to the mat! Hoff shakes his head, scowling in anger, before STOMPING at Stevens with his right leg! Hoff grits through the pain, shaking his head no and SCREAMING at Stevens!!

 

HOFF

"NOT TODAY, CHRIS!! NOT LIKE THAT!!"

 

The fans are BESIDE themselves as Stevens groggily tries to climb up the ropes. He slips once, and falls, then tries to get up again. Hoff looks on, before finally pulling Stevens up the rest of the way. Hoff turns Stevens around and grabs him, pressing him up over his head in a display of power--

 

COLE

What a display of power!!

 

--before throwing him down to the mat. Stevens lands with a dull thud, holding his back again as Hoff stalks toward his prey. Hoff grabs Stevens by the hair again, pulling him up and scooping him. Hoff hoists the prone Chris Stevens onto his shoulder, and turns to face the cage wall to a BIG pop! Hoff charges at the cage wall...

 

CABOOSE

Oh, NO!

 

...but Stevens slips off of Hoff's shoulder and shoves the big man into the cage! Hoff hits head-first, and clutches at his forehead before reeling backwards -- into a schoolboy by Chris Stevens! The official makes a count--

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THR-NO!! Kickout by Hoff at the LAST SECOND!

 

COLE

Stevens almost stole one there, fellas!

 

CABOOSE

The deuce do you mean, "stole?" A win is a win!

 

Hoff kicks out, and Stevens...DASHES FOR THE DOOR! Stevens LUNGES at the doorway as Sliverman opens it, pushing it open the rest of the way, and Stevens tries to crawl out of the cage--but HOFF GRABS HIS FOOT! Stevens tries to kick Hoff off, but Hoff is having none of it as he gets to his knees, then his feet, and drags Stevens back into the ring! The ref closes the door, and Stevens hops up with Hoff still clutching his left leg. Stevens somehow spins in Hoff's grasp, facing the big man, and leaping up with an enziguri, which Hoff nimbly ducks!! Somehow, Stevens is able to land on his free leg--

 

CABOOSE

GREAT athleticism by my man, there.

 

Stevens lands, but Hoff pushes his other leg, spinning him around, RIGHT into a huge clothesline! The force of the move sends Hoff to his knees, and Stevens to the mat, unmoving.

 

COLE

WHAT A CLOTHESLINE by the big man!!

 

COACH

Guys, that could be a momentum shifter in this match!

 

Hoff gets back to his fulkl height after taking a moment to breathe. Meanwhile, Stevens is nearly out from the big clothesline, rolling slightly on the mat. Hoff grabs Stevens' legs, spreads them...and levels a BIG stomp to the...uh...midsection. Referee Robinson admonishes Hoff, but Hoff shrugs him off.

 

COLE

It's all legal in this type of environment!

 

CABOOSE

That doesn't make it right!

 

Hoff scowls at Stevens as the veteran rolls onto his stomach. Hoff picks him up again, before scooping him and dropping him with a bodyslam. Hoff sizes Stevens up, and drops a hard elbow to the chest of Stevens, simply leaning into a cover! Count from Robsinson:

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

KICKOUT! Stevens kicks out of the lacquidasical cover by Hoff, rolling away and into the ropes. Hoff gets up and stalks toward Stevens, grabbing him from behind in a rear waistlock! The fans pop, but Stevens quickly shoots a mule kick to Hoff's right knee! Hoff SCREAMS in pain, and falls to one knee, turning away from Stevens. Stevens turns and walks to Hoff, stepping in front of the big man. Hoff rests on one knee, and Stevens goes to pull him up by the hair, but Hoff pops to his feet, grabs Stevens, lifts him up, and SPINEBUSTER~!~!~!~! The fans go RABID as Hoff hits the trademark 'buster out of nowhere, before falling onto his back.

 

COACH

GOOD LORD, he just DRILLED Stevens!!

 

COLE

Hoff has the advantage, now's his chance!

 

Slowly, Hoff gets up to his feet. Hoff looks over at Stevens, who stirs slightly, and then to the cage door. The fans cheer as Hoff takes a step toward the door...and suddenly, the fans are booing as...

 

COLE

Wait, who the hell is that?

 

CABOOSE

That's...that's JUMBO!!!

 

The fans jeer as Jumbo, Chris Stevens' former bodyguard and hired gun, charges down to the ring. Hoff spies Jumbo barrelling down the aisle as Billy Silverman fumbles with the lock, and Hoff points this out to Silverman-- just in time for the ref to be WALLOPED with a steel chair! The fans are irate as Jumbo grabs the key and taunts Hoff, who fumes, with FIRE IN THE EYES~

 

COLE

I thought he was fired! I thought Stevens sent him home!

 

CABOOSE

That's what Hoff thought too! HA HA!!

 

Hoff jaws with Jumbo...before being SMASHED in the back by a Chris Stevens forearm! Stevens smiles, flashing the thumbs-up to his associate. In the ring, referee Charles Robinson asks Chris for answers, but Stevens ignores him as he drags Hoff to the center of the ring. Stevens shoves Robinson away, then grabs Hoff, sending the big man down with a Russian legsweep! Hoff holds his head after the impact as Stevens gets up, walking over to Hoff's feet! Stevens quickly grabs Hoff's left leg, spinning around it--

 

COLE

Oh no, Stevens could be looking for a figure-four leglock!

 

COACH

Oh man, if he slaps that baby onto that knee, it is ALL over!

 

Stevens grabs the right leg of Hoff, hooking it under the left, and before Hoff can react, Stevens slaps on the deadly figure four!! Hoff SCREAMS in pain, and the ref asks if he wants to give--

 

CABOOSE

He said yes! I heard it!!

 

But Hoff fights, gritting his teeth. Hoff tries to turn the hold over, and the fans stomp and clap, but Stevens pumps the hold, and Hoff screams in pain as he falls to the mat! The ref counts Hoff's shoulders down:

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

THR-NO, as Hoff flings an arm up!

 

COLE

How much more of this can Hoff take?!

 

Stevens pumps the hold again, a la Ric Flair, but Hoff raises an arm, fighting the hold. The fans are NUT and BANANA and FIERCE~, making all the noise they can to rally Hoff!! The big man pumps his fist, then turns...turns...and FINALLY reverses the hold!! Stevens SCREAMS, and quickly breaks the hold, pulling his legs free of Hoff. Stevens hobbles a bit as he gets up, turning to see Hoff still on the canvas, favoring his knee. Stevens scowls at the big man, walking over to him. Stevens again grabs the legs, and this time HE stopms HOFF in the...ahem..."nether regions", before stepping through the legs, looking for a Sharpshooter!!

 

COACH

Stevens is trying to PUNISH Hoff in there!

 

Stevens grapevines Hoff's legs and tries to turn the big man, but Hoff reaches up and grabs Stevens' neck, rolling through the hold into a small package!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

THREENO! Stevens gets out at the last second!! Both men scramble up, but Stevens easily beats Hoff to his feet! Stevens tries an Irish whip, but Hoff reverses the whip...and pulls Stevens back into a SHORT-ARM CLOTHESLINE!! The fans go BALLISTIC as Hoff falls on top of Stevens!!

 

ONE!!

 

 

 

 

TWO!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NO!!!

 

COLE

Hoff ALMOST had it!

 

CABOOSE

Like hell he did!!

 

Hoff gets up slow after the short-arm, then looks down at the prone Stevens, and scowls, shaking his head, drawing a HUGE pop from the crowd! Hoff grabs Stevens by the hair and pulls him up!! Hoff runs Stevens head-first into the far cage wall!! Stevens reels back, and Hoff grabs him again, throwing him, LIFTING him off of the ground and sending Stevens flying into the steel! Stevens falls to the mat, bouncing like a pinball as he skids to a halt by Hoff. Hoff SPITS on Stevens before stomping him in the face!!! The fans are cheering like mad, as Hoff again lifts Stevens up, using all his might to HURL Stevens into the cage wall! Hoff lands on his knees, Stevens hits the wall and bounces off, on his feet, dazed, RIGHT INTO A LOW BLOW from Hoff!!!

 

CABOOSE

Now COME ON, there's NO NEED FOR THAT!!

 

COLE

Hoff is letting it all out! All the anger, the frustration!!

 

Stevens doubles over as Hoff gets up! Hoff hooks Stevens around the head, and DROPS him with a DDT!! The fans are beside themselves as Hoff rolls Stevens over, and the ENTIRE ARENA counts along with Robsinson:

 

ONE!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWO!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THREE-NO!!!!! Just two as Stevens BARELY gets out!! Hoff slaps the mat as he gets up, pulling Stevens up with him. Hoff grabs Stevens, lifts him onto his shoulder, and carries him to the corner...and LAWN DARTS him into the corner of the cage!! Stevens spazms as he hits the steel, then falls, and lands HARD on the top turnbuckle as he does! Stevens' neck snaps back as he lands on the canvas, out like a light!!

 

COLE

That's gotta be it!!

 

Hoff limps over to the cage door-- but it doesn't open, as Jumbo smiles at Hoff, waving the key in front of him! Hoff stares a HOLE in Jumbo, before flipping him the middle finger, and starts limbing up the cage wall!!

 

COACH

Hoff doing this the old-fashioned way!!

 

CABOOSE

Can his knee make it up, though?

 

COLE

I would think-- hey, wait, look at Jumbo! Jumbo's scaling the cage!!

 

Jumbo, indeed, starts up the cage on the opposite side of Hoff to a chorus of boos from the audience. Stevens is still out in the corner, barely even stirring, as Hoff and Jumbo -- one with a bad knee, one with a weight problem -- ascend at about the same speed. Hoff seems to get a little bit of an edge, nearly reaching the top, and then he does, throwing an arm over and hoisting himself up! Hoff leans over the edge of the cage...but Jumbo reaches up and swings at Hoff, catching him in the jaw! Hoff reels back, but keeps his arms gripping the cage. Jumbo, though, buys some time, and heads to meet Hoff! The two are level, and Jumbo throws a punch! Hoff catches the blow square in the jaw, and reels, losing one arm!! Hoff steadies himself as the audience screams! Hoff turns around, and Jumbo fires another right hand...but Hoff blocks it! Hoff reaches back and fires, catching Jumbo SQUARE in the temple! Jumbo reels, and Hoff, like a man posessed, lands right hand, right hand, right hannd, and finally rears back and PLASTERS Jumbo with a big right hook-- that sends him FALLING off the cage!!

 

COLE

OH MY GOD!!

 

Jumbo plummets to earth like a rogue meterorite, landing with a KA-BOOM on the thin protective mats at ringside!! The fans cheer as Hoff looks down for a moment, managing a slight smile, before resuming his climb-- but Hoff gets stopped short as Stevens, back up, grabs tenaciously at Hoff's ankle!!

 

CABOOSE

Stevens is back up!! Thank God!!

 

Stevens, his face a bloody mess from the earlier onslaught, clutches at Hoff's right ankle. Hoff tries to shake him free, but Stevens holds on for dear life. Hoff looks back..and levels a sharp kick to the face of Stevens!! Stevens' head snaps back as Hoff kicks him with his free left leg, and Hoff levels ANOTHER boot that sends Stevens down to the mat!! The fans cheer as Hoff turns back to the cage...but then turns back to Stevens!!

 

COLE

What could Hoff be thinking?!

 

Hoff looks at Stevens as the veteran slowly gets back up, and Hoff gingerly turns, grabbing the cage with one hand and balancing on the top rope! Hoff raises his free hand into the air to a HUGE pop!!

 

COACH

Uh-oh, uh-oh!! Big man gonna fly!!

 

Stevens gets up, turning groggily around to face Hoff...and Hoff LEAPS off of the top strand!! Hoff lifts both arms into the air, looking for a double axe handle.......but Stevens CATCHES HOFF WITH A SUPERKICK!! Stevens throws the kick as Hoff dives, nailing him in mid-air to a decent pop, then a HUGE round of boos as both men fall to the mat!!

 

COLE

What a MOVE!!

 

CABOOSE

YES!!! The veteran Stevens saw it coming!! Now come on, Chris, get out of there!!

 

The TV screens of America go to split-screen as they replay the sick move in slow motion. Stevens, still a bit groggy himself, slowly gets to his knees. Sparing a glance for the out-of-commission Hoff, Stevens crawls over to the cage door, asking for it to be opened...but there's no one there!!

 

CABOOSE

What?!? NO!! Get an official out here!! SOMEONE!!

 

COLE

It's Stevens' own fault for bringing Jumbo out here in the first place!!!

 

Stevens uses the corner to pull himself up, then looks on the verge of tears as he sees the prone figures of Billy Silverman and Jumbo, and the shiny gold key lying on the floor. Stevens looks back at Hoff, then waves him off, heading up the cage wall!

 

COLE

Hoff is still out, and Stevens is gonna head up that cage wall!

 

COACH

Hoff got DRILLED with that superkick!! He's gotta be out!

 

CABOOSE

I told you, I told you ALL ALONG! Stevens is gonna win this thing!!

 

Stevens, exhausted and bloody, slowly climbs up the cage wall. Stevens ascended halfway up, then stops, catching his breath...then starts again -- but Hoff starts getting up!!

 

COLE

Wait just a minute!

 

CABOOSE

NO!!

 

Stevens, slowly, climbs up another step, as Hoff gets to his hands and knees!! The crowd cheers, but Stevens, oblivious, takes another small step upward!! Hoff gets to his knees, then his feet, and spies Stevens trying to get away!!

 

CABOOSE

RUN, CHRIS!! PUT YOUR DAMN SHOES ON AND RUN LIKE THE WIND!!!

 

Hoff looks up at Stevens, and walks over to him...and DRILLS him with a forearm shot to the small of the back!! Stevens collapses, barely hanging onto the cage with his hands. Stevens tries to pull himself ack up, but to his right, Hoff starts climbing!! Hoff gets nearly to where Stevens is hanging, but Stevens spies the big man and throws a back elbow to his face! Hoff reels...but hangs on!! Hoff takes another step up, and grabs Stevens by the hair and RAMS him into the cage wall!! Stevens goes limp, hanging onto the wall for dear life!!

 

COACH

Hoff might be able to throw him off here!! He-- uh-ohhhhhhhh....

 

The fans COME TO THEIR FEET as, in the ring, Hoff grabs Stevens head and hooks it under his arm!!

 

COLE

NO!

 

CABOOSE

You don't think....

 

COLE

I think he might be!!

 

Hoff takes another step upward, positioning Stevens just right as the fans go WILD!! Hoff looks down behind him, then grabs Stevens by the waist and jumps off the cage wall!! Hoff lifts Stevens as they fall and brings him down into the FUTURE SHOCK~!

 

"HOLY SHIT"

"HOLY SHIT"

"HOLY SHIT"

 

COLE

Off the CAGE WALL!! Unbelievable!!

 

CABOOSE

Oh, dear lord....

 

Hoff, dazed, rolls on top of Stevens into a cover!

 

 

ONE!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

TWO!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THREE!!!!!!

 

*ding ding ding ding ding*

 

The arena goes ECSTATIc as Hoff's theme music fills the air!!

 

CABOOSE

I can't believe it.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this bout....HOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The referee raises Hoff's hand as he slowly gets to his feet. Finally, a group of officials come to ringside, opening the cage door.

 

COLE

There you have it, folks. Tonight, Hoff got his revenge. And you're right, Caboose, Chris Stevens may not be moving.

 

COACH

He might be legally dead.

 

Stevens, alive, does slightly move, being helped up by no less than four EMTs and officials. Hoff, meanwhile, spares a disgusted glance for Jumbo before walking up the ramp.

 

COLE

These two threw all they had at each other, including Jumbo for Stevens, but in the end, Hoff came out on top.

 

COACH

What a warrior!

 

CABOOSE

What a crock. I think I'm gonna puke.

 

The fans are standing once again as an exhausted Hoff tsops on top of the stage, looking back at what he's done....then out to the fans as he raises a hand, drawing a MONSTROUS cheer from the Toronto crowd. Hoff manages a faint smile as he heads to the back.

 

COLE

Hoff has gotten revenge here tonight. What a match. And we've still got an OAOAST Title match!! Next!!

The camera cuts to OAOAST President Bill Watts' office. Bill is sitting in his chair watching Anglepalooza, when a knock is heard.

 

BILL WATTS

Come in.

 

The door opens, and Stephen Joseph Popick and "The Corporate Champion" Tha Puerto Rican appear. The crowd boos loudly. Watts has a disgusted look on his face. P.R. is in his ring attire while Popick is wearing a black sweatsuit. The two men stand next to Watts.

 

STEPHEN JOSEPH POPICK

Billy! Billy Boy! William! Dude! Wassup?!

 

WATTS

Oh dear. What do you want?

 

P.R.

Oh not much. World peace. Puerto Rico becoming it's own country. Skye Sweetnam being by my side 24 hours a day seven days a week serving my *every* need. Oh, and a spot in the Royal Rumble Match tonight!

 

WATTS

So, this is why you viciously attacked Panther last Thursday?

 

SJP

My, you catch on quick. Yes, MY CORPORATE CHAMPION attacked that scrub last Thursday for a spot in the Rumble. Come on. Think about it. Who deserves to be in the Rumble more? The dude who just *barely* missed a chance at gaining a World Title shot in a Ladder Match, or the dude who has been in jail for the past 8 months, his career delayed because of a simple misunderstanding? Come on. Panther has had several shots at becoming World Champion before. But not P.R., and DEFINTLEY not in the past 8 months. I think it's only fair that P.R. replace Panther in the Rumble tonight.

 

THA PUERTO RICAN

That's right. So, tell me Watts. What's my number going to be? #5? #10? #15?

 

WATTS

Actually, you're NOT in the Rumble match.

 

The crowd cheers. P.R. is shocked as is Popick.

 

POPICK

Could you say that to me again?

 

WATTS

I said, that you're not actually in the Rumble. All the spots have been filled.

 

P.R.

What? What are you talking about? Did you see HeldDOWN~! last Thursday? I TOOK OUT PANTHER. He is OUT of the Rumble! I injured him!

 

WATTS

Yes, he is hurt. But he still insists on being in the Rumble. So, he's still in the Rumble, and therefore, all the spots have been filled. I'm sorry, but you'll have to try next year.

 

POPICK

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I don't think you understand. P.R. NEEDS to be in the Royal Rumble! He HAS TO BE IN IT! (To himself): Not only because I need someone to watch my back and elimanate himself so that I could win the rumble, (loudly): but because he is the CORPORATE CHAMPION! My handpicked CORPORATE CHAMPION in fact! It is his DESTINY to be in the Royal Rumble! He has to be in it! Tha Puerto Rican is the FUTURE of the OAOAST! There is nobody in the company that has his talent, his intelligence, his charisma. P.R. is the total package, and for him to not be in the Rumble would be a crime! So, please Billy Boy. Bill. Put P.R. in the Rumble! P.R.'s presence in the Rumble will make our Royal Rumble 1,000 times better than that *other* company's Royal Rumble.

 

WATTS

I'm sorry, Stephen. But the 15 Royal Rumble spots have already been filled. All the wrestlers competing in the Rumble are here.

 

POPICK

But is anybody unable to compete?

 

WATTS

Well, Panther is hurt, so his chances of competing in the Rumble are 50/50.

 

POPICK

Hurt, huh?

 

WATTS

I'm afraid so. The attack your friend here did to him, plus competing in the X-Division Championship match earlier really took a toll on him.

 

POPICK

Ah, so he may not even be in the Rumble at all?

 

WATTS

Well, hopefully, he'll get better, but there is a chance might not compete.

 

POPICK

Say. If Panther doesn't compete, would it be possible that you can insert PRL into his spot?

 

WATTS

Well, I believe so.

 

POPICK

HA! There we go! P.R. you're in the Rumble!

 

WATTS

Wait. I didn't say it was definite! All I said was that if Panther is unable to compete in the Rumble, then Tha Puerto Rican will take his place. It is NOT a guarantee though. Panther has fought with injuries before. So this isn't anything new to him.

 

THA PUERTO RICAN

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Blah, blah, blah. Save me that inspirational crap. The fact of the matter is that I am defintley going to be in the Royal Rumble tonight! Because there is no way, and I mean NO WAY, that Panther is going to be in it, considering what I did to him last Thursday! HA! HA! HA! I am SO in! This is great! Okay, I got what I wanted let's go Popick!

 

POPICK

Thank You, Bill. You have done a great job for once.

 

P.R.:

AngleMania IV, here I come! HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

 

"The Corporate Champion" Tha Puerto Rican and Stephen Joseph Popick leave the office. The crowd boos loudly and chants "P.R. SUCKS! P.R. SUCKS! P.R. SUCKS! P.R. SUCKS!" Bill Watts just sits there, sighs, and gets back to watching Anglepalooza.

 

Cut back to Sofa Central with Triple C~!

 

MICHAEL COLE

Tha Puerto Rican is so full of himself.

 

CABOOSE

Now come on. P.R. is a terrific wrestler, why shouldn't he be so certain that Panther will not compete in the Lethal Rumble tonight?

 

COLE

Because P.R. forgets that Panther has heart. Panther has courage. Panther has overcome obstacles before, why shouldn't this be any different?

 

CABOOSE

Because Panther hasn't felt the wrath of Tha Puerto Rican, until last Thursday. Please, Panther may have heart, but he doesn't have the talent that Tha Puerto Rican has. P.R.'s spot in the Rumble is sealed.

 

COACH

Tha Puerto Rican should be careful though. His overconfidence may come back and bite him in the ass.

 

CABOOSE

Oh would you stop being so negative! P.R. is going to be in the Royal Rumble tonight, and he is going to win it, and he is going to go to AngleMania IV, and become OAOAST World Champion.

 

COLE

Well, what about what Stephen Joseph said earlier? That P.R. isn't suppose to win the Rumble. He's only in the Rumble to make sure Popick wins it.

 

CABOOSE

Oh yeah. Well, Popick knows what he's doing. And P.R. is smart. He knows that Popick is the key to future sucess. I'm sure that he's going to be fine with eliminating himself. He knows that he'll get his shot soon.

 

COLE

Well, if I were PRL, I'd have a hard time trusting Popick. Popick isn't exactly an angel.

 

CABOOSE

Popick is an angel. He's a honest, gracious, human being, who looks out for his friends.

 

COACH

Hmmm. If you say so. One only knows what's next in this little saga unfolding tonight at Anglepalooza.

 

CABOOSE

This is just the beginning of a great year for Tha Puerto Rican and Stephen Joseph Popick! 2005 will be the year of Tha Puerto Rican! And Stephen Joseph Popick.

COLE

Well, the time has come for our Heavyweight Championship matchup here tonight. Drek Stone vs. AJ Flaire!

 

APDrekvsAJ.jpg

 

CABOOSE

You realize this is the second straight month Drek Stone is getting shafted out of the Main Event Pay-Per-View slot? Simply inexcusable.

 

COLE

Well, either way, folks, this one has really been boiling over the past few weeks. Starting when someone tampered with Drek Stone’s New Years Countdown back in December!

 

COACH

Well, I mean, I thought it was funny. But apparently, Drek Stone didn’t think so. He demanded someone take responsibility for it -- and shockingly enough, Pheonix came out!

 

CABOOSE

Oh, don’t remind me of that!

 

COLE

As we all saw, Pheonix wound up getting the surprising win over Drek Stone. But in the end, it wasn’t Pheonix at all. To our complete shock, AJ Flaire made his return back to OAOAST television! And, in the process, got himelf a title match at AnglePalooza! And as we all just found out last Thursday, this isn’t just any Heavyweight title match. To make this situation a little more dangerous, both competitors here are going to be battling in an I-Quit Match!

 

COACH

I’ve really been looking forward to this one! Let’s get down to the ring!

 

BUFFER

Ladies and gentlemen, this special I-Quit matchup is scheduled for fall. And it is for the OAOAST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

 

“YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

 

As soon as Buffer finishes his sentence, “Man in the Box” starts off and the fans jump to their feet.

 

I’m The Man In My Box

Buried In My Shit

Won’t You Come And Save Me?

Save Me?

 

Immediately after the last line of “Save Me?” hits the loudspeakers, AJ Flaire jumps out through the curtains, receiving a wild reaction in return. As they wildly cheer for them, AJ slaps his chest and starts walking down the ramp.

 

BUFFER

First, here comes the challenger. Hailing from Detroit, Michigan….weighing in at 225 pounds….he is making his return back into an OAOAST ring. After suffering a crippling back injury a few months ago, most thought he would never make it back to wrestling again. But here he is, having a chance to win the title that has eluded him all his career. A former X-Division Champion, he goes by the moniker of THE PHENOMENAL ONE…..A……J………FLAAAAAAAAAAAAIREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

 

COACH

As much as I’d love to see AJ win here tonight, we can’t forget what Drek Stone pointed out to us earlier. He is just in no condition to compete here. He has not gotten medical clearance and, truth be told, his back may just be too weakened to fight.

 

Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, AJ Flaire slides in the ring and moves over to a nearby turnbuckle. He jumps up on the middle rope and raises his arms up for the crowd.

 

COLE

AJ Flaire actually has quite the history with I-Quit matches at AnglePalooza. Last year at AnglePalooza, he actually managed to make Mad Matt say I-Quit to defend his X-Title. But as he said on HeldDown, this year, the stakes are higher. And the opponent is of a higher caliber. Can he do it again?

 

CABOOSE

No.

 

COACH

Yes.

 

COLE

It remains to be seen.

 

In the middle of Cole’s finishing statement, he is cut off by the sounds of A3 and the HBO ground-breaking hit “The Sopranos”. That song is immediately followed by the loud jeering from all these Torontians.

 

Woke Up This Morning

Got Yourself A Gun

Mama Always Said You’d Be

The Chosen One

 

CABOOSE

I always love this entrance!

 

BUFFER

And his opponent! Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the self-proclaimed “World’s Greatest Athlete” AND “The Best Looking Man to Ever Step Into a Professional Wrestling Ring”! A former Italian Champion, this man has managed to successfully defend his title time and time again in the past two months since he won it back in November. Folks, please put your hands together for the CURRENT OAOAST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD……DRRRRRRRRRREK STOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEE!!!!!!

 

Standing at the top of the ramp, Drek raises his hands for the Toronto crowd, receiving quite an impressive negative reaction in return. Walking down to ringside, Drek completely ignores the fans trying to reach out for his hand, and slowly steps into the ring.

 

COLE

Now, while AJ Flaire HAS been successful in I-Quit matches before, this is the first match of its type that Drek Stone is ever encountering. That could put him at a disadvantage.

 

CABOOSE

Yeah, well, that Elimination Chamber back in November was the first time Drek Stone was entering such a match. It didn’t hold him back then. Calm down with your doomsday theories.

 

Standing in the center, he slaps his chest defiantly, causing a remarkable stream of golden fireworks to arise from the four corners of the ring. Drek then unstraps the Heavyweight Title from around his waist and moves to a nearby corner. Once he steps on the second rope, he holds the gold up for the fans, receiving those familiar boos once again. Once he gets off the turnbuckle, he glares at AJ Flaire.

 

*DING! DING! DING!*

 

Drek begins walking over to AJ Flaire with his arm extended and a wide grin on his face.

 

CABOOSE

See, look at this. Drek Stone wants a friendly handshake before this match starts off. How could you not respect that?

 

COLE

Just so everyone knows, the two combatants have been gimmicked with mini-microphones at the start of this match. They can turn them on whenever they want to speak. This way, they can have the crowd hear them without constantly having to pick up a microphone.

 

COACH

Well, that's certainly convenient.

 

COLE

Less writing involved too.

 

As Drek gets nearer to AJ, he suddenly gets ROCKED with a huge right hand from the challenger! The fans explode as Drek Stone stumbles back. AJ runs forward and hits him with another HARD right hand! And another! And another! The Heavyweight Champion falls into the ropes as AJ Flaire pummels him with a barrage of fists to the head. He then steps back and….

 

*SMACK*

 

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

 

…..unleashes a stinging chop across the chest of Drek Stone. AJ steps back once again…

 

*SMACK*

 

“WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”

 

….and another chop! Drek instinctively reaches for his chest to soothe the stinging, but this allows AJ Flaire the chance to hit Drek Stone with a NASTY European Uppercut across the jaw. The impact of the blow sends the Heavyweight Champion over the top rope and to the arena floor!

 

COLE

AJ Flaire is on FIRE in the early goings of this match!

 

COACH

Drek Stone should have never revealed AJ’s condition earlier tonight. That just made AJ Flaire more motivated to end this match as early as possible.

 

As Drek starts to stand on the floor, AJ refuses to give him a chance to breathe. Without hesitation, The Phenomenal One runs across the ring and dives between the middle and top ropes with a plancha, BRINGING BOTH HIM AND DREK STONE BACK DOWN TO THE FLOOR!! The fans explode as AJ gets back up immediately and salutes them with a powerful fist in the air. Drek starts making an attempt to crawl away, but AJ stops him by grabbing a strong hold of his hair and forcing back up to his feet. Once he does so, AJ grabs him by his arm and gives him a hard irish whip! Drek Stone goes running into the stairs -- and hits KNEES-FIRST, sending him propelling over the stairs and back onto the floor!

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

CABOOSE

Oh, to hell with this! I don’t care what AJ Flaire does here! He will never, ever make Drek Stone quit! Never!

 

COACH

What if he asks Drek Stone, “Do you quit?”, and Drek answers back “DO I QUIT?! DO I QUIT?!” Technically, he would be saying the wor-

 

CABOOSE

Don’t even finish that sentence. I can’t listen to this drivel now.

 

Right after hitting the stairs and winding up back on the floor, Drek tries making a desperate attempt to crawl away. But, of course, there’s AJ Flaire behind him, ready to stalk the champion. Once he gets close enough to Drek Stone, AJ grabs a nearby camera cord and wraps it around the Italian Stallion’s throat. The fans start cheering as Drek tries frantically to unwrap the cord, but AJ only tightens his grip. He then forces Drek back up to his feet, grabs him by the seat of his pants -- and FLINGS HIM into the metal turnbuckle post! Drek hits the corner post chest first, then goes rolling back to the floor.

 

COLE

I think we can now safely say this isn’t going to be your typical wrestling match, folks.

 

CABOOSE

Well, what in the HELL helped you reach that conclusion?

 

With the Heavyweight Champion now on the arena floor, trying to regain his wits, the challenger takes a walk to the timekeeper’s table, forcing the announcer to vacate his chair for the second time since Thursday. AJ immediately folds the chair up and walks over to Drek with it. As Drek slowly starts to stand, AJ swings the chair forward --

 

-- and winds up hitting the steel post! The fans let out a disappointed sigh as the *CLANG* of metal hitting metal echoes in the building. With Flaire sidetracked for a second, this gives Drek the chance to hit him with a well-placed boot to the midsection. The force of the kick causes AJ to drop the chair -- and allows Drek the opportunity to pick it up instead.

 

CABOOSE

Yes! Now it’s time for this match to really start!

 

As AJ rests on one knee, Drek starts to pick the chair up over his head. Once Flaire is up, the Heavyweight Champion swings the chair….

 

 

…..but AJ Flaire jumps up and hits the chair with a spinning heel kick, SMASHING IT INTO DREK STONE’S FACE INSTEAD!

 

“YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”

 

Drek immediately falls down to the arena floor as the fans explode in support of The Phenomenal One.

 

COLE

What a HUGE move AJ Flaire just hit already! That could have done some MAJOR damage!

 

CABOOSE

Come on, Drek! You need to get into this match!

 

With Drek’s brains already scrambled at this point, he’s easy pickings for AJ to pick up and roll back into the ring. Once he does so, Drek immediately scampers over to a corner on the other side of the ring, and tries standing with the use of the ropes. AJ slides back into the ring and walks to meet Stone -- but gets a surprise kick to the midsection! AJ doubles over for a second, but then walks back over to Drek -- and gets another kick to the stomach. With Flaire stunned for the moment, Drek hops up to the second rope. He braces himself to jump off….

 

…..but AJ suddenly hits him with a high dropkick! Drek starts teetering back, looking off-balance, as the fans start screaming for him to fall. After a moment of teasing the crowd, Drek grabs a hold of the ropes and keeps himself perched on the turnbuckle. This gives AJ the chance to put his palm on the side of Stone’s head and SHOVE him off the turnbuckle! Drek goes hurtling over the top rope and DOWN TO THE ARENA FLOOR! Once again, this gets another huge pop!

 

COLE

OH MY GOD! WHAT A HUGE FALL! TWENTY! MAYBE THIRTY FEET!

 

COACH

Cole, it was only like an eight foot drop! Hard fall, yeah, but still.

 

COLE

FORTY FEET!!

 

The fans start seriously clapping for AJ Flaire as the camera gets a closer look at the champ’s condition. That shove off the top rope has definitely had an effect on Drek Stone as he lays prone on the arena floor.

 

COACH

This isn’t good. Drek Stone hasn’t moved an inch since he fell off the turnbuckle.

 

CABOOSE

…..no. No, this isn’t good at all.

 

COACH

I mean, on the bright side, if you’re unconscious, you can’t really say “I Quit.” But I doubt you want things to go that way.

 

As Drek continues to lay outside the ring, AJ moves over to a nearby turnbuckle with a wry grin on his face. The fans start to buzz, realizing that he might have something special planned here. Sure enough, AJ starts to climb up the ropes until he gets to the top.

 

COLE

What in the hell could AJ Flaire be preparing for here?!

 

CABOOSE

This is stupid! We know the condition his back is in! Why go for something like this?!

 

Once AJ gets to the top rope, he stands for a moment and looks out to the crowd. They’re obviously loving it at the moment. He then glances at Drek Stone, who has still not moved since he fell off the top. AJ then gives a slight nod of his head and braces himself. HE JUMPS OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH AN ELBOWDROP --

 

 

-- BUT DREK STONE ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! AND AJ FLAIRE HITS THE ARENA FLOOR, COMPLETELY MISSING THE ELBOWDROP ALL TOGETHER!

 

COACH

OUCH!!!

 

Immediately after hitting the floor, AJ screams out in pain and rolls along with the momentum of the move. He quickly puts a hand out to touch his back, but thinking better of it, then takes the hand away just as quickly. Instead, he starts to moan instead, clutching the back of his head, which was hurt in the impact of the fall as well.

 

“HOLY SHIT!”

 

“HOLY SHIT!”

 

“HOLY SHIT!”

 

CABOOSE

What did I tell you guys?! It is BEYOND stupid to take such a risk! I knew it. And now AJ Flaire is learning it as well.

 

COLE

And quite honestly, you really can’t make stupid mistakes like that when you’re fighting Drek Stone.

 

CABOOSE

Exactly.

 

Both men lay on the floor for a second, until Drek Stone finally starts to stir first by rolling onto his knees. Meanwhile, AJ is slowly starting to move up as well.

 

CABOOSE

Do you see how smart he is? Playing possum, knowing that AJ was going to do something stupid like jump off the top rope. He KNOWS his opponents better than they know themselves.

 

Once Drek Stone manages to get to his feet, albeit holding his head, he picks up the steel chair folded up nearby him. He picks it up and holds it in his hands, waiting for AJ to get up. Once the challenger manages to get to a standing position, Drek simply hurls the chair at him! The steel chair BOUNCES off AJ Flaire’s head, with the impact of it sending AJ falling back into the ringside barricade. Drek allows himself to smile as AJ finds himself dazed, only helped by the fact that the barricade is there to keep him standing. Drek then charges at AJ Flaire -- BUT GETS BACK-BODY DROPPED OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD!!

 

COACH

Well, will you look at that! AJ Flaire knows how to play possum too!

 

COLE

If there’s one place Drek Stone shouldn’t want to be right now, it’s with this crowd!

 

Right after the back-body drop, AJ instinctively clutches his back once again, but takes his hand away as soon as he realizes what he’s doing. As Drek lays stunned on the floor, AJ swings his legs over the barricade to follow after him. A fan sitting nearby hands AJ his soft drink cup, begging him to use it.

 

FAN

Come on, man! USE IT! USE IT!

 

AJ

Wait! Wait………what kind of drink is this?

 

FAN

Mountain Dew.

 

AJ

Yes! Perfect!

 

With the drink in his hand, AJ then stands over Drek’s body.

 

AJ

Drek, do you quit?! DO YOU QUIT?!

 

Drek starts to pick himself off the floor, but keeping his eyes locked on AJ.

 

DREK

Kiss my ass, AJ! I’ll never quit!

 

AJ Flaire then pours the entire drink over Drek’s head, prompting a wild reaction from the crowd.

 

DREK

Mountain Dew?! Oh, that’s disgusting! You’re SICK!

 

Feeling such a vile liquid splash on his face, Drek finds himself compelled to stand up - and now. Meanwhile, another ringside fan hands AJ Flaire another object. This time, it looks to be a special-edition Hoff dogtag. AJ takes the chain, wraps it around his fist, and waits for Drek to stand. Once the Heavyweight Champion gets to a standing position, AJ Flaire WALLOPS him in the face with said dogtag! The impact of it sends Drek falling back over the barricade and near the ring again.

 

CABOOSE

Hoff dogtag?! Who would buy such a thing now?!

 

Once Drek falls back on the other side, he starts trying to crawl away once again. This time, the camera catches a good glimpse of his face -- and finds it has been busted open by that chain shot just a moment ago. The fans “ooh” at seeing the violent gash opened along Drek’s forehead, but cheer as they see AJ climb over the barricade again. He picks Drek up off the floor and immediately hooks him into a cradle piledriver position.

 

COLE

Whoa! Could he be going for it?!

 

CABOOSE

No! No! Not on the outside of the ring! Don’t do this!

 

The fans really start to buzz as AJ hooks Drek Stone up for That’s Phenomenal. Once he gets him in position, he waits for a moment to brace his strength. He then lifts Drek Stone up --

 

-- NO! Drek manages to pull his weight down and keep himself on the ground! The Heavyweight Champion then quickly breaks the grip, grabs AJ by his neck, and DRIVES him down to the floor with a flatliner! The crowd groans as Flaire’s head sickly bounces off the concrete. Right after the move, Drek sits up for a few moments and calmly wipes the blood out of his eyes.

 

CABOOSE

Did you see that impact?! I know I said this earlier, but NOW -- NOW is the time this match is ready to begin.

 

As Drek starts to stand, he spots AJ instinctively nursing his back, but then quickly putting an end to it.

 

COACH

Uh oh.

 

With a smile on his face, Drek nods in AJ’s direction. He then immediately runs forward and drops an elbow drop on AJ’s spine! The fans groan as AJ howls at the pain. Drek gets back up and drops another elbow drop quickly! And another one! And another! And another! After the fifth elbow drop, Drek stands up with a WIDE grin on his face. He then drops a SIXTH elbow drop on AJ Flaire’s back. Finally, he picks the challenger’s body up off the floor and rolls him into the ring.

 

CABOOSE

This thing is about to get really ugly. I can feel it.

 

After rolling AJ Flaire back into the ring, Drek follows after him with the steel chair in his hand. AJ uses the ring ropes to pull himself back up as quickly as possible, but Drek is waiting. Standing right behind him. Once AJ’s up, Drek swings the chair and….

 

*CLANG*

 

Hits AJ Flaire across the back with the steel chair! The crowd groans as Flaire’s body shakes and he simply sinks down onto his knees. Drek starts urging AJ to get back up again. Almost daring him to do so, Drek waits with the steel chair by his side. Finally, after a few moments of struggling, AJ Flaire moves back up to his feet. That’s when Drek picks up the chair again and…

 

*CLANG*

 

SMACKS AJ WITH THE CHAIR AGAIN! The force of this chairshot sends AJ falling into the ropes. With a cocky grin, Drek moves towards AJ and gives the challenger a well-placed slap to the face. He then takes Flaire’s arms, places them upon the top rope, and wraps the middle one over the top, effectively tying AJ in the ropes.

 

COLE

Oh, this isn’t good! Somebody needs to free AJ Flaire from this. And quickly!

 

Drek Stone grabs his trusty steel chair and rolls to the outside. The fans really start booing as Drek steps behind AJ’s prone body with the chair in his hand. Although he isn’t supposed to, the referee starts making a valiant attempt to free AJ from his predicament. But Drek isn’t having any of it. From the outside of the ring, he swings the chair back and…

 

*CLANG*

 

CRACKS THE STEEL CHAIR AGAINST THE EXPOSED BACK OF AJ FLAIRE!

 

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”

 

The force of that chairshot propels AJ’s body forward, freeing his arms and causing him to fall flat on his face in the ring. With a nod, Drek looks out at the crowd and slaps his chest arrogantly, really receiving their outrage in return.

 

“DREK STONE SUCKS!”

 

“DREK STONE SUCKS!”

 

“DREK STONE SUCKS!”

 

COLE

That was uncalled for!

 

CABOOSE

I agree. This chant is simply awful!

 

With AJ rolling around the ring, Drek tosses the chair over the top rope and rolls in after it. AJ rolls over to a nearby corner and sits up against the bottom turnbuckle. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Drek stands proud. Defiant. With his arms folded across his chest, the champion glances at his now-wounded challenger.

 

DREK

AJ….look at you.

 

AJ Flaire takes a huge gulp of air and warily stares at his opponent.

 

DREK

Look at you. You’re nothing. You can’t compete anymore tonight. You can barely even walk!

 

Drek slowly starts to walk towards AJ now.

 

DREK

So here’s what I’m going to do. A little proposition. You know you can’t beat me. I know you can’t beat me. Everyone here knows you can’t beat me. You wouldn’t have been able to do it in your prime. And you absolutely have no chance now.

 

Drek methodically wipes the blood off his forehead as he continues to talk.

 

DREK

So this is the plan. Quit now. Quit right at this very moment, in front of all these people. And never come back. NEVER! COME! BACK! Let this be the last time I ever see you step foot in this federation. And I will let you limp away, still able to leave under your own power.

 

Now standing directly in front of AJ Flaire, Drek Stone symbolically looks down at him.

 

DREK

But if you decide to continue this match -- if you decide to keep fighting -- that is it. I will have absolutely zero mercy for you. I will make it so you CAN’T walk out of here. You thought what Hoff did to your back last time was bad? Well, I’m bigger and badder than Hoff could ever hope to be! You will regret it for the rest of your life if you continue to fight. I promise you. So AJ, make your decision now.

 

AJ wipes the sweat off his forehead but continues to stare at Drek, not wanting to take his eyes off him.

 

DREK

Make your decision now. This is all in your hands.

 

Without saying a word, AJ places his hands on the top rope and uses it to pull himself back up to a standing position. Now standing face-to-face with Drek Stone, AJ stands before him solemnly. Still silent.

 

DREK

What are you going to do, AJ? Don’t be stupid. Make the right decision.

 

AJ starts to slowly nod his head as a wide smile crosses Drek’s face.

 

DREK

I knew it. Oh, I knew it. Just say the words, AJ. Say it for me.

 

The crowd waits anxiously for AJ to make his decision.

 

AJ

Fine, Drek. Fine. You want those two words? You want to hear them so bad? Well then, here you go.

 

…..

 

AJ

FUCK. YOU.

 

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

 

AJ runs out of the corner and brings Drek Stone down with a HUGE clothesline! Drek Stone immediately pops back up afterwards and AJ brings him down with ANOTHER mighty clothesline! Once Drek gets back up after that, AJ gives him a kick to the midsection! He grabs him in a front facelock position -- AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH A BIG DDT!! The fans roar as AJ holds onto Drek’s head following the DDT, locking him into a front face choke.

 

COLE

WHOA! THIS COULD BE IT, RIGHT NOW!

 

CABOOSE

NO! COME ON, DREK! GET OUT OF THIS!

 

Drek tries pummeling Flaire’s ribs to get him to let up on the hold, but AJ only grabs a tighter grip of the hold and rocks back. Seething through his teeth, The Phenomenal One growls at his opponent.

 

AJ

You wanted ME to say it?! YOU SAY IT!! SAY IT, DREK!! SAY IT!!

 

DREK

Oh, you can KISS MY ASS, AJ!

 

This inspires AJ Flaire to only tighten up on the front facelock even further. The cheers surging from the crowd only rise even further as Drek starts waving his hands, trying to get some kind of advantage.

 

COACH

DREK HAS TO QUIT! HE’S GOING TO QUIT RIGHT HERE!

 

Drek starts getting a little weaker as AJ cinches up on the hold. His arms slowly start to fall to his side -- but in a last ditch effort, he rolls over and manages to roll into the ring ropes. He slides his legs out underneath the bottom rope and hook his feet against the apron. Drek then tries making a serious attempt to pull himself out of the ring -- but AJ just keeps clinging on! Finally, with one last serious pull, Drek pushes himself out of the ring! AJ DOES manage to hang on…..but as the two fall to the arena floor, the impact forces him to let go of the hold.

 

CABOOSE

Oh, thank god! Thank god!

 

Immediately upon impact, Drek rolls over and starts massaging his neck. Wanting to get away from AJ as soon as possible, Drek tries rolling up onto his knees and back to his feet. Yet, there’s AJ waiting once again. He slips behind Drek and wraps him up in a sleeper hold! The crowd starts cheering as AJ jumps up onto Drek’s back and starts wrapping the hold in tighter.

 

COLE

AJ Flaire is doing anything he can to get Drek Stone to quit -- and quick!

 

Drek tries ripping AJ’s arms away from his neck, but isn’t finding too much luck in doing so. So, Drek winds up doing the only thing he can do. He runs towards the corner post and turns his back to it -- sending AJ Flaire back-first into the post instead! The crowd lets out a collective sigh as AJ releases the hold and falls off Drek’s body to the ground.

 

COACH

And there goes Drek Stone targeting the back again.

 

CABOOSE

Well, what the hell else is he supposed to do?! This is smart!

 

Afterwards, Drek Stone leans himself against the barricade and starts taking deep breaths. Finally, after resting for a moment, he picks AJ Flaire up off the floor and rolls him back into the ring, following after him. Nursing one hand on his back, AJ tries crawling away, but Drek simply walks easily after him.

 

COLE

Drek Stone is stalking AJ Flaire. That’s all he’s doing!

 

After allowing AJ to waste his energy crawling for a few seconds, Drek grabs a nice handful of his hair and forces him back up. Drek then slips to the side of AJ Flaire, lifts him up and --

 

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

 

--drops him across his knee with a NASTY backbreaker! AJ begins screaming in loud pain and tries to roll away, but Drek keeps a solid hold of his opponent. Still holding onto AJ, he moves back up to his feet and walks around the ring for a second. He then drops down and --

 

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

 

--gets him with ANOTHER backbreaker! Through AJ Flaire’s screams, Drek picks him up again. And --

 

-- another backbreaker!! He picks him up a FOURTH time and….

 

*BAM*

 

-- yet another backbreaker!! Finally, after this one, Drek allows AJ to fall to the mat. The challenger immediately lets out a deafening scream and clutches at his back anxiously.

 

COLE

Oh, I shudder to think about what Drek Stone might have just done to AJ Flaire’s back there.

 

CABOOSE

It’s a backbreaker, Cole. What do you think he could have done?

 

AJ tries rolling around the ring, but Drek charges at him…

 

…AND DROPS A KNEE ACROSS THE SPINE OF AJ FLAIRE!

 

AJ lets out another loud scream and starts rolling across the mat without an actual purpose. Drek rolls back up, runs forward….

 

…AND DROPS ANOTHER KNEE ACROSS AJ FLAIRE’S BACK!

 

The crowd, feeling a deep sense of empathy for AJ’s situation, moans along with him as he screams in pain.

 

COACH

This is…..this is awful. AJ Flaire can’t continue like this.

 

CABOOSE

So let him quit! He can end this anytime he wants!

 

Content with seeing AJ really hurting, Drek takes this opportunity to step outside the ring. Despite the fans hurling insults at him, the champion simply ignores them and tries looking under the ring apron. After a few seconds, Drek pulls something out from underneath the apron and holds it up for the crowd.

 

COACH

Oh no!

 

COLE

It’s a Singapore cane! Who would put a Singapore cane underneath the ring?!

 

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

 

With the cane in his hand, Drek slides back into the ring and stands over AJ Flaire. Looking triumphant already, the champion starts twirling the stick in his hand, smiling over the entire situation.

 

DREK

AJ, this is it. I gave you the chance before to quit before I really hurt you. Now comes the pain. You can end it all if you say those two simple words.

 

Drek lifts the Singapore cane high above his head.

 

DREK

Just say them.

 

He SWINGS THE CANE DOWN -- BUT AJ CATCHES HIM WITH A PUNCH TO THE MIDSECTION! Drek doubles over for a second, which allows AJ the chance to run forward and bring him down with a VICIOUS SHINING WIZARD!!

 

“YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

 

COACH

WHOA!!

 

COLE

AJ FLAIRE -- OUT OF NOWHERE -- WITH HIS TRUSTED SHINING WIZARD!! HOW DID HE DO IT?!

 

Both men hit the ground after the move, with AJ Flaire obviously nursing his back, trying to will himself through this thing.

 

COLE

AJ Flaire will keep fighting! He won’t give up!

 

COACH

Well, Cole, if AJ won’t give up -- and Drek has made the promise that HE won’t give up -- how exactly will this match end?

 

CABOOSE

Oh, AJ will quit. He WILL quit.

 

While Drek rolls around the ring holding his head, AJ starts using the ring ropes to pull himself up. Once he gets to his feet, he sees Drek Stone is still relatively stunned. Without wasting time, AJ walks over to a nearby turnbuckle and starts scaling it. Wincing with each growing pain in his back, AJ continues to climb the post until he gets to the top.

 

COACH

Why won’t he learn?! WHY DOES HE KEEP DOING THIS?!

 

COLE

This IS AJ Flaire! Always willing to take risks -- to take chances -- to pull the match out! He’s willing to do absolutely ANYTHING to win tonight. And folks, you really do just have to respect that.

 

Perched upon the top rope, AJ waits for Drek Stone to fully stand up. But Drek, actually spotting AJ out of the corner of his eye, grabs a nearby Singapore cane and holds it in his grasp. Dizzily, the Heavyweight Champion finally manages to stand up -- but he turns and dashes forward to AJ. AND HE CRACKS THE SINGAPORE CANE OVER HIS HEAD!!

 

“OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

 

The crowd lets out a huge cry as AJ grabs his forehead and tumbles off the turnbuckle to the mat.

 

COLE

Oh no! Somebody should end this thing now!

 

CABOOSE

AJ can end it, Cole! He can end it himself!

 

COLE

He won’t. He has too much pride!

 

CABOOSE

Well, who’s fault is it if that pride costs him the ability to walk? Or the ability to see?! It’s not Drek Stone’s fault, I’ll tell you that!

 

Drek Stone holds the Singapore cane high above his head as AJ rolls around on the mat, holding his head. Once he takes his hands off, the crowd can see that his forehead has now been brutally mangled thanks to that cane. Blood immediately starts to drip out of his forehead at an alarming rate, and Drek is loving every minute of it.

 

DREK

Come on, AJ. Say the words. Say them.

 

AJ starts to stir a little bit and begins to roll over onto his side.

 

COLE

My god. How is he still able to go on like this?!

 

Drek, looking absolutely shocked that AJ is starting to move onto his knees, lifts the cane above his head.

 

DREK

You don’t want to learn, do you? You just don’t want to learn? Well, here then.

 

And Drek Stone swings the cane down!

 

*CRACK!*

 

The sound of wood hitting flesh echoes throughout the entire building! AJ screams and arches his back immediately as Drek twirls the cane in his hand.

 

COACH

Come on, AJ. This isn’t worth it anymore. It just isn’t.

 

DREK

Quit, AJ. Just quit. Say them.

 

AJ Flaire, with fire in his eyes, looks up at Drek Stone defiantly. With blood starting to pour down his face, AJ spits a loogie into Drek’s face. The crowd bursts at such an action.

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

DREK

How dare you! You piece of garbage!

 

Drek lifts the cane up above his head again and…

 

*CRACK!*

 

Once again cracks it over AJ Flaire’s back. Just as before, AJ screams out in extreme pain and puts a hand against his back to alleviate the pain.

 

DREK

SAY IT!! THIS IS NOT A JOKE, AJ!! SAY THE DAMN WORDS!!

 

AJ simply shows Drek Stone the middle finger.

 

AJ

Fuck. Off.

 

“YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”

 

Drek’s eyes immediately widen at AJ’s defiance and a sudden scowl creeps across his face. He lifts the cane up above his head and…

 

*CRACK!*

 

*CRACK!*

 

*CRACK!*

 

*CRACK!*

 

COLE

FOUR CONSECUTIVE SINGAPORE CANE SHOTS TO AJ FLAIRE‘S BACK! SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STOP THIS!

 

With hurt in his eyes, AJ looks out at the crowd before falling face-first onto the mat. Unlike the AJ Flaire chants before, a new chant starts to rise up from the crowd. But this one is more subdued. Quieter, somehow.

 

“PLEASE JUST QUIT!”

 

“PLEASE JUST QUIT!”

 

“PLEASE JUST QUIT!”

 

But just as quickly, AJ starts pushing himself back off the mat with his arms. Despite the brutal welts across his back, despite the blood gushing out of his forehead, despite the fact that he’s been through more punishment in the past few minutes than any man deserves to be: AJ Flaire just keeps going.

 

DREK

You still won’t quit? STILL?!

 

Once again, Drek lifts the cane up and…

 

*CRACK!*

 

…drives it across the back of AJ Flaire once more!

 

COLE

Come on, AJ. Just end it.

 

CABOOSE

AJ, Drek isn’t going to get tired of delivering those cane shots. Just end the damned match already.

 

Noticing that AJ Flaire is still not willing to quit, Drek has finally had enough. He throws the cane down at his feet and steps outside the ring. Seeing the steel chair that was so popularly used before, he picks it up and throws it back into the ring. Following after it, Drek then symbolically unfolds the chair and places it in the center of the ring. Meanwhile, AJ lays in the center of the ring, still gasping for air.

 

COACH

Now what could Drek be planning to do with that?

 

CABOOSE

He’s going to make AJ say I-Quit. And that is ALL there is to it.

 

Drek stares at the chair sitting in the ring for a second, then turns his attention to AJ Flaire. With the blood starting to dry around his eyes, Drek rubs his forehead to see if he could stop it from bleeding anymore. He then slowly starts to pry AJ off the mat. Flaire, with all the gashes now laced across his body, tries pushing his weight down, but it isn’t working. Drek finally gets AJ to stand -- but in a last ditch effort, AJ ROCKS Drek back with a BIG European Uppercut!

 

COLE

HOW?!

 

Finding his opponent stunned for the moment, AJ quickly hooks him up in a cradle position.

 

CABOOSE

NO WAY! NO WAY IN HELL!!

 

The fans roar as AJ picks Drek Stone up…

 

 

 

….AND DRIVES HIM DOWN WITH THAT’S PHENOMENAL!!!

 

COLE

OH MY GOD!!

 

COACH

THAT REALLY WAS PHENOMENAL!!

 

Suddenly, the crowd has been invigorated! They start chanting his name once more.

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

“AJ FLAIRE!”

 

COLE

Suddenly the entire complexion of the match has changed!

 

CABOOSE

I…..I will never know how AJ Flaire just did that! DAMMIT!

 

With adrenaline seemingly driving AJ Flaire at this point, he begins inching his way over to the ring ropes. Slowly, but surely, he starts using the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. Meanwhile, Drek Stone is still laying on the mat, out cold. Once AJ Flaire gets fully back up, struggling the entire way, he spots the Singapore Cane laying near his feet. A smile crosses on his face like it’s Christmas morning, and his eyes start to glitter as he picks the cane up off the mat. Meanwhile, finally, Drek starts to stir. Like AJ earlier, Drek starts using the ropes to get himself up. Once he manages to get to his feet, Drek turns around so….

 

*CRACK*

 

AJ FLAIRE COULD HIT HIM IN THE RIBS WITH THE SINGAPORE CANE!!

 

CABOOSE

NO! COME ON, AJ!

 

COLE

Turnabout is fair play!

 

Drek Stone immediately doubles over, holding his ribs, as AJ stands before him with the cane in his hand. Literally sporting a crimson mask now, AJ scowls at Drek angrily, then steps back once again.

 

*CRACK!*

 

AJ FLAIRE HITS DREK STONE WITH THE CANE ONCE MORE!

 

Once again, Drek Stone bends over to grab his side. This time, AJ takes the opportunity to bounce off the ropes with the cane in his hand. Once he bounces back, he swings the weapon….

 

 

…..but Drek scoops him up in a spinebuster position…..

 

 

 

….AND DROPS HIM WITH A SPINEBUSTER ONTO THE STANDING STEEL CHAIR!!!

 

COLE

NO!!!!!!

 

CABOOSE

Oh my god!

 

COLE

OH, NO!!! NO!!!!!

 

COACH

We need some help!

 

The fans immediately hush as Drek Stone stands before a prone AJ Flaire. Following the spinebuster, the chair is a completely mangled mess. The legs have been bent in different directions, the seat has broken away from the skeleton of the chair -- and on top of it all is the wounded body of AJ Flaire. Upon this steel wreckage is a human being. A human being that has been through this all before.

 

COLE

I can’t believe it! The same move that took AJ Flaire out of commission for so long last time!

 

COACH

Guys….I really think AJ Flaire’s back could be broken again.

 

COLE

Well, thank god somebody has decided to send the EMTs out here.

 

Sure enough, a wide barrage of medical personnel and ring agents start rushing to the ring to attend to the challenger. Two EMTs immediately bow near AJ’s head to check the condition of his neck, while two other paramedics do their best to clear out the wreckage of the steel chair.

 

COLE

Folks, this is just…..this is just awful. I don’t know what to say.

 

Two more paramedics rush down to ringside with a stretcher and position themselves on the outside of the ring. Meanwhile, inside the ring is Drek Stone -- and he’s looking none too happy.

 

DREK

What the hell is everybody doing out here? YO!

 

Drek grabs the collar of one paramedic attending to AJ and forces him up to his feet.

 

DREK

What do you think you’re doing?

 

The paramedic, clearly intimidated, tries reasoning with the Heavyweight Champion.

 

PARAMEDIC

Mr. Stone, this man needs attending to right away. With his preexisting conditions, he could have just broken his back once again. He needs medical attention and quickly.

 

Drek, shaking his head in disbelief, stares down the paramedic.

 

DREK

He didn’t say the words yet.

 

“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”

 

DREK

Boo me all you want, but this son of a bitch didn’t say the words yet! And he isn’t getting ANY MEDICAL TREATMENT UNTIL HE DOES SO!

 

PARAMEDIC

Mr. Stone, he really needs….

 

DREK

NOT UNTIL HE SAYS THOSE WORDS!!!

 

With his hand still on the collar of the paramedic, Drek then grabs him and tosses him over the top rope. The fans gasp accordingly as Drek yanks up another EMT official and spikes him into the mat with the STONECUTTER!

 

COLE

NO! NO! WHAT IS HE DOING?!

 

CABOOSE

Drek….what the hell?!

 

COACH

He’s a madman! Plain and simple!

 

Once Drek brings that paramedic down with the StoneCutter, all the other officials scatter out of the ring before they get beat as well. Meanwhile, AJ is beginning to twitch among the wreckage of the steel chair. With a sadistic smile, Drek Stone grabs the legs of AJ Flaire and turns him over into a Boston Crab.

 

COLE

He couldn’t be…..how could he POSSIBLY keep going with this match?

 

AJ immediately starts howling once turned over, but Drek isn’t done yet. Placing one knee on the spine of AJ, Drek then rocks back on the hold, bending the spine of his opponent at an almost improbable angle.

 

COACH

AJ FLAIRE NEEDS SOME HELP NOW!

 

AJ starts screaming for dear life as Drek wrenches back on the hold, but no one can run in to help him. The Heavyweight Champion starts pulling back on the submission even more, driving his knee even further into the spine of AJ Flaire. With a desperate cry in his screams, AJ tries anything to get out of this submission, but it is utterly inescapable. With wide-eyed determination, Drek continues to pull back on the hold, relishing in hearing the yells from the Phenomenal One.

 

COLE

JUST SAY IT, AJ! JUST SAY IT!

 

With AJ’s back continuing to bend at an impossible angle, he really has no other alternative.

 

DREK

SAY IT, AJ!! SAY IT!!

 

Through clenched teeth, AJ Flaire starts to speak.

 

AJ

I………

 

But Drek interrupts him, obviously cherishing this predicament.

 

DREK

SAY IT!!! SAY IT NOW!!!

 

AJ

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

 

With his screams echoing through the frigid air of Toronto, AJ finally has no choice.

 

 

 

 

 

AJ

….I QUIT!! I QUIT!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*DING! DING! DING!*

 

 

 

 

 

Immediately after hearing AJ Flaire say those two magic words, Drek Stone releases the hold and falls to his knees in celebration.

 

COLE

I can’t believe him! He’s…..he’s a monster!

 

CABOOSE

He earned it tonight, Cole! He earned every aspect of this victory tonight!

 

The referee, looking quite annoyed with Drek Stone at the present moment, hands him his Heavyweight Championship. Drek eagerly snatches the title away and holds it up to the crowd, who reign down upon him with an EXTREME amount of boos.

 

CABOOSE

What the hell? Why is everyone so angry with Drek Stone?!

 

COACH

Look what he did tonight! He might have fully ended AJ Flaire’s career for good!

 

CABOOSE

AJ Flaire shouldn’t even have been in the ring tonight! He shouldn’t have….

 

COLE

THAT SUBMISSION AT THE END WAS UNCALLED FOR! THE MATCH WAS GOING TO BE OVER ALREADY! HOW COULD YOU EVEN DEFEND HIM?!

 

CABOOSE

YOU DO WHAT YOU NEED TO DO! Drek WARNED AJ of what might happen if he continued with this! You want to blame anyone?! Blame AJ Flaire!

 

The paramedics immediately run past Drek Stone and go to help out AJ Flaire. Three ring agents quickly move up to Drek Stone and demand he leave the ring immediately. Instead of moving right away, Drek looks at AJ Flaire’s prone body with a blank look on his face. Then, surprisingly enough, he actually does the peaceful thing and walks out of the ring.

 

COACH

That was the one decent thing he did tonight! The only decent thing!

 

Holding the Heavyweight Belt over his right shoulder, Drek starts backing up the ramp, keeping his eyes locked on the action in the ring. Ring officials and EMTs continue to run past him and slide into the ring, trying to help AJ as quickly as possible. Once Drek gets to the top of the ramp, he stares out at the crowd who are still violently booing him.

 

CABOOSE

Say what you want. Drek Stone is STILL the Heavyweight Champion! He made AJ Flaire scream “I Quit”! Something nobody here expected him to do! He managed to hold onto his belt! And, in the process, looks a HELL of a lot tougher to boot!

 

COLE

Some things are more important than a wrestling match, Caboose. Some lines you just don’t cross. And let me tell you, Drek Stone crossed one of those lines tonight.

 

Drek finally raises the title belt up for the audience, who continue to jeer him unmercifully. He points at himself excitedly, then walks through the curtains and to the back. We slowly fade away into an advertisement as the officials continue to check on AJ’s condition and start to load him onto a stretcher.

COLE

Well, fans, our next match is the final one of the night -- the Lethal Rumble. After the Rumble is over, we'll know who'll headline AngleMania IV against the OAOAST Champion. But before we go to the ring, let's send it backstage, where our own Josh Matthews is standing by with The Mad Cappa.

 

CABOOSE

Can you believe this guy is getting married? I thought you and him were lovers, Cole.

 

COLE

Josh, it's all yours, my friend.

 

CABOOSE

Oh, I see. You're just "friends" now.

 

COLE

Shut up! Josh?

 

We cut backstage, where Josh Matthews is with The Mad Cappa, just minutes away from the Lethal Rumble match. The men are standing in front of an Anglepalooza banner.

 

JOSH

Well Cappa. It's almost time for the rumble! How do you feeel......

 

Cappa shoves Josh to the floor and snatches the microphone.

 

CAPPA

(Yelling)

SIT DOWN! (To the camera) FINALLY! TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT! TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT I WIIIIIIIIINN THE LETHAL RUMBLE!

 

Finally my destiny will be complete when I win a chance for the World Heavyweight title at Anglemania IV! No one will, no, no one CAN stop me from winning! Even though I'm suspended, I got to be here thanks to my contract, so if I win, no, WHEN I win, Billy boy will have no choice but to give me that title shot!

 

So if any of the others get in my way, be forewarned! If I see you,*WHAM* (does a elbow motion to the air), you are out! If I see Brock, *WHAM* (with elbow motion), you're out! Panther, *WHAM* (elbow motion again), out!

 

Popick, despite the fact that you have made me seen the light and spared me from getting in at #1, if you're still in when I get out there, *WHAM*! You're out!

 

Crystal and Axel, OOOOOOO quite the couple! So when the (*bleep*) gets in, *WHAM*, you know the drill! Axel, Axel, Axel! Don't think that I haven't been waiting to face you again ever since the only time we've ever faced each other. So when come in, *WHAM*! Out, out, out!

 

T-Bod and Dan, Black T! Even though I respect you guys and you are the most classiest people in here, but I'm sorry! *WHAM!* You both are going out!

 

Leon! Don't think that since I was this close to winning your X title away that I'm going to cower back in fear when I see you. So you already know what to expect!

 

Lightining Craptacular! (Brief pause) Words are not enough to describe how I feel that you have returned and to be in this rumble! So when you step in, just remember! I STILL HATE YOU! So your sorry 'boricua' (mocking) ass is going out the quickest!

 

After everybody else is through and my hands get waved up in victory, there will be one man left! The champ himself! Drek Stone! So when I win the rumble, I will go on to face him and based on histoy, I have beaten him the most than anybody else here so it would be fun to go up and face him again! Then will everything come full circle!

 

For all the naysayers out there! The people who say I will never amount to anything! I will prove you all wrong! Even though this last month has been no changes, I'm going to go do something about this! I'm out here to show everybody that I am not a joke, a no body, a loser! So tonight GATAMELA! It's the night of The Mad Cappa!

 

JOSH

There you have it, straight from The Mad Cappa's mouth. Now let's go to my broadcast colleague Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who's with The Original Elite. Jesse?

 

We cut to the locker room of The Original Elite, where Jesse is with Tony Brannigan, a towel wrapped around his neck and with a bottle water in his hand. Dan Black is sitting on a stool, tighting up his boot laces. Jivin' J.R. is sitting on the floor Indian style, humming the Oklahoma fight song. Zack Malibu and Candie are nowhere to be seen.

 

VENTURA

It hasn't been a good night for 3 men and a beautiful lady. Of course I'm talkin' about The Original Elite. Not only did Candie lose her bid to become Women's Champion, but earlier tonight, Zack Malibu and Dan Black were jobbed out of the tag titles by Chicks Over Dicks, a team who has no business even being in the same ring as the Elite... yet alone a wrestling ring. But two women were in the ring, and they captured the tag team championship of the world. So I'm here in the very unhappy locker room of Zack Malibu, Dan Black and Tony "T-Bod" Brannigan, the threesome known as The Original Elite.

 

Tony takes a sip of water and then caps it shut.

 

VENTURA

Personally I think it's a disgrace that the tag team championships -- a championship I once held with the late Adrian Adonis, as the East-West Connection -- are now in the procession of two women! While Black T were winning matches, Alix and Krista were working for Planned Parenthood or somethin'. Not to mention, they haven't competed regularly. They come and they go. If the United States doesn't allow women on the battlefield, we damn sure shouldn't allow them in the ring.

 

TONY

No more mister nice guy. Krista, Alix, we gave you a chance to get physical with us in the bedroom not the wrestling ring, but since you wanna play with the boys, how 'bout coming to play with the two biggest boys on the lot this Thursday? We tried being gentlemen, but obviously that approach didn't work, and like anything that doesn't work, you return it. That's why we're proposing -- that's probably the last time either one of you screwed up sorority chicks gets proposed to -- a return match this Thursday night on HeldDOWN. You may have defeated Zack Malibu and Dan Black, but you haven't defeat the greatest tag team in OAOAST history, Black T. We didn't give our blood, sweat and tears just to let you run free with the straps...on. If you have the ovaries, you'll accept the challenge. After what we'll do to you Thursday, you're going to wish you had choosen to stay home tonight, cuddle next to each other on the couch while munching on car-tons of ice cream watching a rerun of Desperate Housewives.

 

VENTURA

Who's your favorite housewife?

 

TONY

Without question, Bree.

(stammering)

I mean--I mean...not that I watch the show or anything. I have a thing for Marcia Cross, that's why I know the name of her character. Not that there's anything wrong with me -- I mean, a man watching a show with hot women on it. You know, uh...uh... I think women find women -- men, I mean men, find men... What I'm saying is, I believe women find men who can broaden their viewing pleasures outside of sports and porn very attractive. See, I have a thing for older women in general. Less hassle than some partying 20-something. My age range is 18-50 years old.

 

VENTURA

50, huh?

 

Tony begins wondering why he even bothered to answer Jesse's question. Sensing his boy is looking for a way out...

 

VENTURA

Women do age better now than ever before.

 

TONY

Absolutely. Absolutely. If you're over 50...and hot...it's a wham, bam, thank you, ma'am for you. Under 50, and I may consider settling down...NOT! But I would have sex with you. Not you, Jesse -- a woman.

 

VENTURA

I understand what you were sayin'. Although I'm sure Michael Cole is sorely disappointed.

 

Dan Black walks up to Tony and slaps him on the chest, firing up the big man.

 

VENTURA

Dan Black, where's Zack Malibu?

 

BLACK

Mr. Malibu is currently busy franchising Candie's ass. I echo Tony's statements, not about the television show, but about C.O.D. You see, you bloody skanks, the tag team championships are like potato chips: bet you can't eat just one.

(chuckles)

Well, that describes Mr. T's sexual appetite. But my point is, unlike chips, we can't go to the store a buy replica tag belts and say we're still the champs, no. We have to step inside a squared circle and punish our bodies, giving our blood, sweat and tears to walk out with our hands raised. Tonight, it was your lucky night. But Thursday the odds will be stacked in our favor, if you do so accept our challenge. The challange has been issued, ladies. The balls are in your court.

 

VENTURA

Guys, what about the Lethal Rumble? All 3 members of The Original Elite are entered. Gimme your thoughts.

 

TONY

You said it, Jesse -- all 3 members of the most elite organization in wrestling today will compete against 12 other wrestlers for the opportunity-of-a-lifetime, a chance to headline the biggest show of the year for the biggest prize in this business. We won't deny the talent involved in the Lethal Rumble, but I promise you the winner will be a member of The Original Elite, because, in the words of a great philospher -- "thinking singularly; working collectively." That's what we're all about.

 

Dan and Tony flash the 3-B hand gesture and walk away from the camera.

 

VENTURA

Strong words from Black T, the people's tag team champions, who have challenged to the new tag team champions, Chicks Over Dicks, for this Thursday night on HeldDOWN~! and promise the winner of the Lethal Rumble will be a member of The Original Elite. Now some other comments.

 

Standing in front of an OAOAST banner are THE GLOBAL PARTY XCHANGE! Even though they lost to the Eagles, Scotty is still proudly wearing his #7 Michael Vick jersery. Johnny has on a Ben Wallace Pistons jersery.

 

SCOTTY

(rapping)

Yo, my name is Scotty, and I plan on winning the rumbie.

 

JOHNNY

(rapping)

My name Johnny, and I sleep with Scotty's mommy.

 

SCOTTY

Dude!

 

JOHNNY

I, uh... I mean, slept with Scotty's mommy.

 

SCOTTY

Dude!

 

JOHNNY

I mean, we're here to win the 2005 Royal Rumble.

 

SCOTTY

Yo, peepers, it ain't the Royal Rumble no more, homie. "Cowboy" Bill renamed the sucka so the OAOAST no longer had to share the name of an crappy event like WWE. It's the Lethal Rumble now, yo.

 

JOHNNY

Whoa, sounds lethal.

 

SCOTTY

That's why it's called the Lethal Rumble, playa. And that's why we plan on winning the damn thing. That belt has been worn by some of the biggest names in 'tis business.

 

JOHNNY

Yeah, like Ric Flair -- WHOOOO! -- Hulk Hogan, and Triple H!

 

SCOTTY & JOHNNY

NOT!

 

JOHNNY

Me and the S-Man plan on settin' the ring on fire like a wildfire blazin' through Smoky the Bear's crib. We're gonna throw out 15 other men -- 'scuse me, I meant 14 other men, 1 woman -- and dance, dance, dance our way into the main event of AngleMania IV.

 

SCOTTY

Yo, "Jam," if you throw out 15 sports entertainers, then who wins the damn thing? There won't be anybody left.

 

JOHNNY

Damn, you be right again, S-Man. Let me rephrase that: I'm gonna throw out 14 other--

 

SCOTTY

But then I wouldn't win it.

 

JOHNNY

Yeah, I know. I would.

 

SCOTTY

But I wanna ME AM IV.

 

JOHNNY

So do I. Besides, I have the most experience wrestling.

 

SCOTTY

Well, I'm younger than you. I have my whole career to look forward to.

 

JOHNNY

You only 2 years younger, S.

 

SCOTTY

And that makes you 2 years older. When you 50, I'll be 48. Oh, God, with some of the things we do out of the ring, imagine what we might look like then. Shit, dude, we need to compromise. We ain't gettin' any younger standin' here.

 

JOHNNY

Okay, I got. Whichever one of us wins, we'd give the other a title shot. Deal?

 

SCOTTY

Homie play dat.

 

JOHNNY

The GPX plan on walking out of AngleMania with the OAOAST World and Tag Team titles.

 

SCOTTY

Lethal Rumble and Anderson Cup winners: The Global Party XChange!

 

Scotty and Johnny chest bump.

 

SCOTTY & JOHNNY

Respect.

COLE

Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, we're LIVE at OAOAST Anglepalooza 2005! We just witnessed a hell of a battle guys, with Drek Stone retaining the OAOAST Championship over the returning AJ Flaire.

 

COACH

Certainly Cole, AJ tried his heart out, but Drek showed us his game plan start to finish, working on that back, and making AJ Flaire say the magic words right at the very end. AJ sure had the Champion rattled in that match though, almost making Drek Stone give up on numerous occasions!

 

CABOOSE

Ah rat shit Coach; Drek was in total control the whole time, just like he’s going to be in total control of the winner of this next match at AngleMania four!

 

COLE

Yes that’s right, we are about to go to our Main Event of this evening, the Anglepalooza Rumble match! Fifteen OAOAST superstars are getting ready right now to go to that ring, and the last superstar remaining will meet the OAOAST Champion at AngleMania four in March!

 

CABOOSE

What do you mean “The OAOAST Champion”? Michael Cole, you and I both know that Drek Stone is going to AngleMania the Champion, and walking out soon after with the belt firmly around his waist!

 

COACH

Well that may be the case Caboose, but who knows what could happen in the next two months! This match is one of unpredictability, as the winner could be anyone, from Stephen Popick to Zack Malibu to The Mad Cappa!

 

COLE

Well guys, I want each one of your picks to go all the way in this one, because I just can’t pick. There are so many guys in that ring that could win this match, Zack Malibu, Leon Rodez, either member of Black T, Axel, Panther, or The Mad Cappa. It’s so hard to pick this match. Coach, who’s your pick?

 

COACH

Well you said there are a number of guys that could win this match, but I’m not picking a guy, I’m picking my baby girl, Crystal! She’s going to win this match, and keep on winning!

 

CABOOSE

Oh don’t give me that crap Coach, put it away! There is only one real choice, and that is the two time OAOAST Champion, one Mister Zackary Malibu. You can’t go past the Franchise, he runs this damn company!

 

COLE

One thing that could work against Zack is the fact that he’s already been in the ring tonight, which could pose as a problem for a number of OAOAST Superstars. In any event, we are now being asked to go to the backstage area, where Josh Matthews is standing by with none other than Coach’s pick for the Rumble, The Female Phenom, Crystal!

 

*Cut to J-Math standing beside Crystal, with the AP logo in the background*

 

J-MATH

Crystal, tonight you attempt to be the first woman to win the Anglepalooza Rumble match. How do you hope to accomplish this?

 

Josh brings the microphone to Crystal’s lips and she looks at Josh and smiles, before answering him.

 

CRYSTAL

How? Come on Josh, I’ve already been the OAOAST Champion, and I’ve defeated a lot of the competitors in the match already in my career, so I’m going to do what I always do, go out there, fight for my life, and come out on top.

 

ZACK

Yeah, I hear you like it like that…

 

Crystal’s smile turns into a look of disgust as the camera pans around to reveal the Franchise of the OAOAST, Zack Malibu, standing, smirking. He crowd immediately boos the former two time Champion to hell, and he reacts by smirking even wider, and continuing with the insult.

 

ZACK

How you been, Crys? I haven’t seen you in a while, probably not since you took away the most important thing in my life! Well it all changes tonight girl, because I’m winning the Rumble, and taking back what’s rightfully mine. And don’t you worry Crystal; I’ll be going through you to do it. I’ll knock your head right off of your shoulders sweetheart.

 

A big “OOOOOOH” comes over the crowd, as Zack keeps on smiling, and Crystal looks like he’s about to kill the Pissed Off Prep. But suddenly, Zack’s expression turns to one of shock, as his eyes grow wide!

 

VOICE

You wanna say that again, big man?

 

The camera pans around to see AXEL~! Standing behind Crystal, a hand on her shoulder, staring a hole in Zack. He moves Crystal out of his path, and goes face to face with his hated rival. Zack pipes up quickly, trying to hide the anxiety in his voice.

 

ZACK

Oh, so you’re the bodyguard now? You’re the protector? The big man? Huh? Don’t forget Axel, I beat your ass across this country once, don’t thin I won’t do it again!

 

AXEL

You’d better take the bass out of your voice when you talk to me, little man. Sure, you’ve beaten me once, maybe twice, but not anymore Zack. You wanna pick on Crystal; provoke her into fighting you now? I’ll tell you what, I know she can take care of herself, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let her put herself in harms way. You wanna provoke someone? Provoke me tough guy, provoke me.

 

Zack backs off, until he feels a hand on each shoulder, with Black T flanking the Franchise. He smiles again, and continues taunting Axel and Crystal.

 

ZACK

Well, I must get ready for my winning effort; I’ll leave the power couple to ponder when their credibility when down the toilet!

 

Axel scowls at The Original Elite as they walk away,

 

COLE

It’s every man for himself in the Rumble guys! Let’s take it down to Michael Buffer to make the opening announcements.

 

*DING DING DING*

 

MICHAEL BUFFER

Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is the ANGLEPALOOZA RUMBLE MATCH! Here are the rules, in a moment; the superstars who drew numbers one and two will enter the ring. Then every two minutes thereafter, another superstar will enter the match. The match continues until all fifteen superstars have entered the ring, and until there is one last superstar remaining. The only way that a Superstar can be eliminated is by being thrown over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. The last superstar remaining in the ring will be declared the winner, and will go on to face the OAOAST Champion at ANGLEMANIA FOUR!

 

COLE

My god, did they want to steal that away from Howard Finkel any more?

 

CABOOSE

Shut up and let’s hope they didn’t notice.

 

BUFFER

And now, the individual who drew number one…

 

“Aww Naw” hits, and Stephen Joseph Popick makes his way out to ringside to a chorus of boos from the sold out crowd. He slides into the ring, and awaits number two.

 

COACH

Popick was made number one a number of weeks ago, but can he go all the way tonight and be the OAOAST Champion?

 

COLE

We are off!

 

Panther and Joseph circle each other, taking it all in. A spontaneous "PAN-THER" chant breaks out, and the hugely popular superstar looks to his left and flashes a big smile, popping the crowd somethin' fierce.

 

COACH

FIERCE~!

 

COLE

Panther is and has seemingly always been one of the most popular guys on the roster...

 

CABOOSE

That's not really relevant, is it?

 

Panther turns his focus back to Joseph, who rolls out his neck. Panther steps toward Joseph, and Stephen skirts away, keeping his distance. Panther reverses course, circling toward Joseph the other way. Finally, the two men come together, and the fans cheer! Panther and Joseph lock up, but neither man gains the advantage, and eventually they break, taking a step back. Panther rolls out his shoulders, and the two men circle again briefly before locking up once more. For a moment, Panther is able to get the adavntage, but SJ breaks out of the lockup, and steps back.

 

COLE

These two are feeling each other out before they get into it.

 

CABOOSE

Well, there's no need to waste energy early on in this type of match.

 

COLE

Absolutely right, Caboose. Endurance is key in the Rumble environment.

 

Panther steps toward Joseph, closing the gap. Joseph feigns back, then steps up and catches Panther in a tie-up, spinning the Champion of Champions back-first into the corner! Joseph unloads a knife-edge chop onto Panther, but it doesn't faze him! Panther's eyes LIGHT UP as he steps out and grabs Joseph, turning the tables and throwing him into the buckle! Panther POPS SJ with a European uppercut to a BIG reaction! Joseph's neck snaps back as he reels from the blow, allowing Panther to grab Joseph's arm and whip him cross-corner! Panther charges, following Joseph in, but Joseph Hops over the back of Panther! Before Panther can react, Joseph forearms him in the back, pushing him chest-first into the corner!

 

COLE

Nice athleticism from the always-controversial Stephen Joseph!

 

Joseph grabs Panther by the hair and drags him out of the corner, spinning him around and THROWING him OVER THE TOP-- but Panther LANDS ON THE APRON!! The fans cheer as Panther nails Joseph with another forearm uppercut! Joseph stumbles backwards, allowing Panther to get into the ring! Joseph regains his bearings, but Panther meets him with a HIGH dropkick that sends Joseph to the mat!

 

COACH

Close call for Panther!

 

Panther picks Joseph up and drags him to the ropes, scooping him up from behind and trying to dump him, but SJ throws a back elbow that stuns Panther! Panther reels, allowing Joseph to regain his footing and kick Panther in the gut! Panther doubles over, and Joseph takes him down with a swinging neckbreaker! Joseph sits up as the COUNTDOWN~ starts...

 

COLE

Here we go! Who's number three gonna be?

 

Joseph breathes as the count runs down...

COLE

It's....it's ALFDOGG!!!!

 

The fans pop HUGE for the legend as Alfdogg heads to the ring, looking ready for business!! Joseph gets to his feet, waving the former World Champ into the ring! Panther begins to stir as Alfdogg climbs onto the apron! Joseph meets him with a right hand, but Alf shakes it off and CLOBBERS SJ with a right of his own! Joseph reels, allowing ALf time to get into the ring! Alf climbs in, and takes Joseph down with a DOUBLE-LEG TAKEDOWN and starts HAMMERING him with fists! The fans go WILD as Alfdogg rains down blows on Joseph! Meanwhile, Panther gets to his feet and leans in a corner, resting. Joseph tries to scamper away from Alf's onslaught, but Alf grabs his hair and pulls both SJ and himself up, and tries to throw Joseph over the top rope! The fans are cheering as Joseph is teetering, but Panther breaks it up, hammering Alf in the back!

 

COACH

Why would he do that, playas?

 

CABOOSE

Because he's STUPID.

 

COLE

I think Panther just wants to be in control.

 

Joseph falls back into the ring as Panther grabs Alf, running him across the ring and trying to dump HIM, until HE'S hit from behind by Joseph! Panther drops to his knees, and Alf gets up off of the ropes.

 

CABOOSE

See where it got ya, Panther? Fool.

 

Alf hammers Joseph, as the countdown appears on the AngleTron...

COLE

It's...It's CAPPA!!

 

CABOOSE

The MAD CAPPA! Now HERE'S a man you can repsect.

 

The fans jeer as Cappa saunters down to the ring, jawing with fans down the aisle. Cappa gets into a shouting match with a drunk Southerner, while in the ring, Joseph blocks a right from Alf and stuns him with one of his own. Panther, again, rests in the corner, before spotting Cappa in the corner of his eye. Panther calls out for Cappa to "get his sorry ass in the ring," and Cappa tears himself away from the drunken fan to oblige.

 

COACH

Aw yeah, here we go!

 

Cappa slides into the ring, and Panther immediately puts a boot to his back! Cappa gets to his knees slowly, and Panther helps him up the rest of the way before throwing a forearm to his face! Cappa reels, falling into the corner Panther was resting in, and Panther UNLOADS with some vicious chops! The fans "WOOOOO" in appreciation, while on the other side of the ring, Joseph uses the second rope to choke Alf.

 

COLE

Joseph wearing down the veteran Alfdogg, not a bad strategy!

 

Alf tries valiantly to break free, but Joseph keeps the pressure on. Meanwhile, Panther drags Cappa out of the corner, and armdrags him to the mat! Panther springs up to a nice pop, as Cappa gets to his knees! Panther flashes a grin, and Cappa POUNDS the mat in frustration, drawing a chant from the fans!

 

"FUCK HIM UP PANTHER, FUCK HIM UP!" *clap*clap*

"FUCK HIM UP PANTHER, FUCK HIM UP!" *clap*clap*

 

Panther waves Cappa up to his feet, and Cappa charges at Panther, but Panther quickly sidesteps and sends Cappa face-first into the middle turnbuckle with a drop toe hold! The fans cheer as the COUNTDOWN~ is on again...

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZT*

 

COACH

Who's the next playa?

 

COLE

It's...businessmen?!

 

Two men in suits come out and stand at either side of the entryway, looking dignified.

 

CABOOSE

Who...

 

COLE

Wait, aren't those the Williams & Horn guys from a couple weeks ago?

 

COACH

You don't think...

 

The crowd pops HUGE as none other than J. ARTHUR EDWARDS steps out from the curtain!!

 

COLE

NO WAY!!

 

COACH

It's J. Arthur Edwards!!

 

The "welcome back" pop is immediately replaced by jeers as Edwards sneers at the fans, walking down to ringside with the suits in tow!

 

COLE

I can't believe this! J. Arthur Edwards is back!

 

CABOOSE

Amazing!

 

The two suits stop at the end of the ramp, looking on as J. Arthur slides into the ring. After sparing a glance for Panther, who's working Cappa over in the corner, J. Arthur heads over to Alfdogg. The suits turn around, walking back, their job apparently done for the night.

 

COLE

I still can't believe this!

 

J. Arthur walks over to Alfdogg, staring him down for a brief moment...before turning and FLOORING Joseph with a HUGE right hand! The fans go WILD as J. Arthur waves Joseph up, and hits him AGAIN as SJ rises! Joseph ffalls again, and tries to get back up, but slips, dizzy. Alfdogg pulls him back up, and whips him into the ropes! Joseph comes off, right into a DOUBLE BACK ELBOW from Alf and J. Arthur! The fans cheer like mad as Alf and J go to town!

 

CABOOSE

WHAT IS THIS?! WHY?!?

 

COACH

Dunno, but these fans are FEELIN it, playa!

 

Alf and J. Arthur stomp away at Joseph, while Cappa fights out of the corner. Cappa dazes Panther with a right hand, and another, and another! Panther reels, and Cappa levels a kick to the ribs! Panther doubles over...

 

COLE

BUST A CAP!

 

Cappa grabs Panther, but Panther pushes Cappa away! Cappa hits the turnbuckle chest-first and bounces back, and Panther grabs a sleeperhold! Cappa tries to fight it, but Panther DROPS him in a sleeper drop to a big pop! Panther hops up to his feet, pumping his fist and drawing another cheer! The countdown is on again as Cappa rolls onto his knees...

 

5...

 

Cappa slowly gets up...

 

4...

 

Cappa gets to his full height...

Cappa gets NAILED with a European uppercut that sends him right back into the corner! Meanwhile, Joseph rakes Alfdogg across the eyes...

J. Arthur makes a grab for Joseph, but SJ back elbows him in the jaw...

 

1...

 

J. Arthur his his knees, aloowing Joseph time to get away to a meutral corner...

 

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT*

 

COACH

Number six!

 

COLE

It's....SCOTTY STATIC!!

 

A MASSIVE pop for one half of the GPX, as Static comes barreling down the ramp and flies into the ring! Without pausing, Static charges at Edwards, tackling him and laying in some right hands!

 

COACH

Yikes, Scotty Static is on FIRE!

 

CABOOSE

What did J. Arthur do?!

 

COLE

I have no idea!!

 

Static unloads on J. Arthur Edwards as Joseph grabs Alf and tries to drive him over the top rope! Meanwhile, Panther grabs Cappa's leg and tries to force HIM over the ropes!

 

COLE

We've got some guys who might be on their way out!!

 

Cappa teeters a bit, but quickly drives his elbow into Panther's skull!! Panther lets him go, and Cappa falls onto his feet in the ring! Cappa takes advantage by grabbing Panther's tights --

 

COACH

OMG HEEL~!

 

-- and trying to force HIM over! Panther tangles himself up in the ropes, as meanwhile; Static has pulled J. Arthur up! Static whips J. Arthur into the ropes, and catches him with a high spinning wheel kick that sends J. Arthur back down! Static kips up, as in the far corner, Alf's torso starts slipping over the ropes!!

 

COACH

Oh, oh, here we go!!

 

Joseph churns his feet, trying desparately to get Alf over, but Alf, thinking quickly, kicks Joseph in the head! Joseph tumbles away, reeling...aloowing Static to push HIM into the ropes!! Joseph goes halfway over before hooking the top strand with his leg.

 

CABOOSE

NICE move by Joseph.

 

Alf shifts his weight and lands back inside the ring, halfway collapsing in the corner and catching his breath. J. Arthur does the same in the next corner. Meanwhile, over in corner three, Panther plants a MULE KICK to Cappa's little caps! The fans go NUT as Cappa collapses, holding his junk! Scotty Static meanwhile has J. Arthur Edwards teetering on the top rope, as we go to a COUNTDOWN~!

And you do it like this!

 

“It’s Goin Down” begins to blare over the speaker system, and Panther stops in his tracks for a second, looking at the entrance ramp, then suddenly…

 

“No Chance… No Chance… No Chance is what ya got!”

 

To the shock of Panther, ‘No Chance’ hits!

 

COLE

What?

 

Tha’ Puerto Rican runs down from the ramp to the ring, a huge smile on his face!

 

COLE

What the hell is he doing here?

 

CABOOSE

Yes! I’ve got a new pick!

 

PRL slides into the ring, and Panther goes straight after him, peppering the former North American Champion with hard rights and stinging lefts! PRL tries to fight back, but Panther is on a roll! Irish whip by Panther, PRL comes off of the ropes and goes for a clothesline, Panther ducks under, PRL turns around… PANTHER CUTTER!

 

COLE

The PANTHER CUTTER! Panther just drilled Tha Puerto Rican!!

 

CABOOSE

NO! NO!

 

Panther grabs PRL by the hair and drags him over to the ropes, trying to eliminate his adversary! But before he can get PRL over the top rope, Stephen Joseph stops him with a low, LOW blow!

 

CABOOSE

Here comes the cavalry!

 

Cappa has now decided to go for Alfdogg, and is trying to eliminate him on one side, while Edwards lays into Static in another corner with heavy boots. Panther is staggering back after the low blow, with PRL and SJ moving in on their prey!

 

COACH

That isn’t fair!

 

Panther staggers back against the ropes and Tha Puerto Rican takes the initiative, clothes lining Panther over the top and to the floor, eliminating him!

 

COLE

Oh I cannot believe that! That is a travesty!

Panther gets up immediately and begins to storm into the ring once again, but OAOAST officials are there to

 

CABOOSE

What do you mean it isn’t fair? PRL and Joseph eliminated him fiar and square!

 

COACH

Well it’s not right dammit!

 

CABOOSE

Thanks JR.

 

COLE

Well it appears that PR is allowed to be out here, as due to Chris Bryte’s injury earlier this evening, he will not be participating, and Bill watts has given the spot to Tha’ Puerto Rican!

 

PR turns around, still smiling, and right into… The Mad Cappa!

 

COACH

Uh-oh guys, we know the history between these two men! This could explode!

 

PR’s expression soon turns from happiness to shock, as he and Cappa stare each other down. Cappa, an angry look on his face, suddenly has a change of heart, as he smiles at PR! PR smiles back, and the two men nod at each other, seemingly uniting, to the shock of the crowd. They both take a step away from each other…

 

COLE

What? An alliance?

 

… and both hit each other at the same time! The two hated rivals exchange blow after blow, hit after hit, with Cappa getting an advantage! But, out of nowhere, he is stopped by Stephen Joseph Popick, who lands a blow to the back of Cappa’s head, stopping his offensive onslaught!

 

COACH

Guess not!

 

Alfdogg, meanwhile, springs into action, once again going after Popick, leaving three individual brawls of Static and Edwards, Alfdogg and Popick, and the legendary rivalry of Cappa and PR reignited! Suddenly, we have a COUNTDOWN!

The crowd roars as Johnny Jackson appears, and sprints to the ring to save his partner!

 

COLE

Here comes Johnny!

 

COACH

G-P-X! G-P-X!

 

CABOOSE

I hate male cheerleaders.

 

Jackson enters the ring as J. Arthur Edwards turns to meet him. They square off, with Edwards catching Jackson with a knee to the stomach! Scotty Static runs over to Edwards, stopping him from going any further. The Global Party Exchange then go to work on J. Arthur, double teaming the lawyer from Williams and Horn. Meanwhile, Alfdogg is choking Popick on the top rope, and PR is trying desperately to get Cappa out of the ring.

 

COLE

Cappa could be eliminated!

 

Cappa does go over the top rope, but he lands on the apron, and quickly rolls back into the squared circle, earning a kneedrop from Tha Puerto Rican. Popick seems to be fading, while getting the air drained out of him by Alfdogg, who tries to eliminate the former INTEN5E leader. Popick goes over the top rope, but goes straight back into the ring between the top and second ropes.

 

CABOOSE

Two very close eliminations, Popick and Alfdogg have been in there the longest, and that will catch up to them as time goes on.

 

COACH

Very true Caboose, Alfdogg has to win this match to keep his job and he has promised to retire if he fails to do so!

 

Alf and Popick both take a breather, as GPX continue to pummel J. Arthur Edwards, who stages a quick comeback, hitting elbows and right hands on the former Tag Champions, then throwing Scotty Static over the top rope… but he lands on the apron and rolls back in! Johnny Jackson’s forearm is the cause of J. Arthur’s next trip to the canvas, helping his partner once again.

 

Cappa has the advantage in his battle with PRL…

COLE

Well not anymore Coach, you aren’t the one that she’s dating!

 

CABOOSE (muttering)

Stupid love angles…

 

COLE

What was that?

 

CABOOSE

Nothing.

 

Crystal takes her time getting into the ring, seeing the matchups that are currently in place, and picking the one she wants to get involved in the most. The fans are going insane for the Female Phenom. She hops onto the apron and steps between the ropes, methodically walking to the PRL and Cappa battle. Crystal begins to HELP Cappa try and eliminate PRL, but Cappa soon catches on, and turns on Crystal, sending her to the mat with a hard right hand, before shouting “I DON’T NEED YOUR HELP, BITCH!”

 

COLE

Cappa has flipped out at Crystal here!

 

CABOOSE

She shouldn’t have stuck her nose in his business!

 

Cappa lays the boots in to the Female Phenom, who tries in vain to cover up. Tha Puerto Rican comes to his senses and starts to go after Cappa, but changes course, helping him lay the boots to Crystal!

 

COLE

The double team by Cappa and PR on Crystal! I never thought I’d see this!

 

COACH

This isn’t right! This is unfair! No! Somebody help her!

 

Cappa tells PR to stop and let Crystal get up, and he obliges. Crystal slowly struggles to her feet, with Cappa laying in wait.

 

COACH

No baby! Don’t get up!

 

Crystal gets to her feet… Kick Wham! BUST A CAP!

 

CABOOSE

Ha-ha! Your pick eh? Well done dumbass!

 

PR laughs at Cappa, happy with what he sees before him, but tells Cappa to wait a second and let Crystal get up again! Crystal gets up even slower this time… Kick Wham! The Cappa Killer!

 

COLE

PR with the… Cappa Killer?

 

PR looks at Crystal and shouts at her lifeless body ‘NOW THAT’S THE CAPPA KILLER!’ This obviously pisses Cappa off, as he pushes PR and then goes face tpo face with him, starting the trash talk!

 

COACH

Cappa took exception to the Cappa Killer there!

 

Cappa and PR continue to jaw jack, and PR goes for a cheap shot on his rival… Cappa blocks, and hits a right! And another! A third! A fou… NO! Crystal is up again, and she take both men down with a double clothesline, before falling to her knees in pain!

 

CABOOSE

Cheap shot! Cheap shot! That jezebel!

 

Alfdogg and Popick seem to be pretty exhausted, with neither having the energy to land a decent shot! Popick gets the advantage with a low kick to the crown jewels of the lowest drawing OAOAST Champion in history!

 

COLE

Popick got the nut shot!

 

CABOOSE

Yes! We don’t want that ass back in the company!

 

COACH

You want Popick to win?

 

CABOOSE

Oh crap… ok, eliminate each other!

 

Popick runs at Alfdogg, but Alf ducks under, and Popick almost goes over the ropes and out of the ring… but he holds on!! Not for long though, as Alfdogg grabs Popick by the tights, and bundles him over the top rope to the outside for the second elimination of the match!

 

COLE

Popick’s gone!

Dan Black runs down to the ring as PR, Cappa and Crystal begin to come to their senses. The current member of Black T and former General Manager of IntenseZone enters the battleground to heavy boos, immediately putting the boots to the Female Phenom, which now seems to be the order of the day!

 

COLE

Now Dan Black is going at Crystal… and what’s this? PR and Cappa are up again!

 

Yes indeed Cole they are, as the two men surprisingly, join Dan Black in his quest against Crystal, triple teaming her, and making the crowd even more hostile. The three bad guys pummel Crystal, and the fans voice their disapproval. Meanwhile, Alfdogg slouches in the opposite corner, looking at the vultures devouring Crystal. He doesn’t seem to care, as he is saving his energy for closer to the end of the match.

 

COACH

Someone help her! Please! Pretty Please?

 

CABOOSE

Why don’t you do it jerky?

 

CAOCH

I’m not entered in the Rumble!

 

CABOOSE

Neither were the frickin Lightning Crew, but did they care? You like her so much, help her!

 

COACH

No! I’m scared! Alright? I’m scared!

 

CABOOSE

Finally, you admit it to everyone.

 

The Global Party Exchange are still double teaming J. Arthur Edwards, and they have him against the ropes! Jackson takes Edwards out of the ropes and puts him in a suplex position, while Static perches himself on the second rope… DESIGNATED DRIVER BY GPX! J. ARTHUR IS ON DREAM STREET!

 

COLE

The Designated Driver! Amazing double team move, a suplex into a second rope Piledriver!

 

GPX both pick J. Arthur Edwards up by the hair, and FLING him out of the ring, eliminating him!

 

COACH

Wow! GPX just eliminated J. Arthur!

ELIMINATED BY: GPX

WRESTLERS ELIMINATED: None

LEFT IN THE RING: Scotty Static, Johnny Jackson, Alfdogg, Crystal, Tha’ Puerto Rican, The Mad Cappa, Dan Black

*******************************

 

GPX look over at Crystal, but decide that taking everyone one at a time is a much more intelligent way of going about things, as they walk over to Alfdogg, who was taking a breather. The former tag champs pick the former OAAST Champion up and try to put him over the top, but Alfdogg soon catches on, and begins furiously barraging the two men with hard punches and elbows, getting out of harms way. The three heels, meanwhile, continue to lay into Crystal with stiff boots, elbows, and a variety of other fruity offensive moves.

 

COLE

Crystal is getting triple teamed badly on this exchange, these three men obviously see her as one of the biggest threats in this match. But she is now almost rendered helpless, and no one seems to care!

 

CABOOSE

She’ll learn the hard way to make more friends Cole.

 

The three men pick Crystal up like a rag doll (not THE Ragdoll), and proceed to try and eliminate her, but the feisty Canadian holds into the top rope, with a pit bulldog’s-like grip. Suddenly, we have a COUNTDOWN~! With the fans hoping that Crystal can hold on for the next person to enter the ring.

*BUZZZZZZ!!!!!!!*

 

The crowd waits patiently…

 

COLE

What’s going on?

 

We can see that Dan Black, PR and Cappa all have one eye on the entrance ramp, as well as one eye on eliminating Crystal, who still has a vice-like grip around the top rope!

 

COLE

Well it looks like number ele…

 

 

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

 

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!”

 

COACH

YES! YES!

 

The three men trying to eliminate Crystal are startled by the pyro blast, and even more startled when the object of Crystal’s affection, Axel, sprinting to the ring! He slides into the ring, under the legs of The Mad Cappa, who is the first to meet him. Axel runs at Cappa and knocks him down with a hard clothesline! He grabs Tha’ Puerto Rican by the head and off of Crystal, and boots him in the stomach! EVENFLOW DDT!

 

COLE

Man, Axel is a house on fire here!

 

Dan Black tries desperately to get Crystal over the top rope, and he finally breaks her grip on the top rope… but Crystal lands on the apron and rolls back into the ring. Axel pulls Dan Black into the centre of the ring, and goes for a vertical suplex… but Dan Black gets out of the hold… boot to the midsection, Dan goes for the Blackout… blocked by Axel! Dan Black gets pushed into the ropes, comes off… SPINEBUSTAH~! By Axel in the middle of the ring!

 

“YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!”

 

COACH

Man, what impact!

 

Axel stands up after the move, but The Mad Cappa comes up from behind him! Cappa throws Axel over the top rope… but he lands on the apron and rolls straight back into the ring. The crowd breathes a collective sigh of relief, but Cappa doesn’t realise that Axel is still in the match!

 

CABOOSE

Cappa, watch out!

 

Cappa walks back over to Crystal and catches her with a right hand, followed by a boot to the stomach! He turns around… and comes face to face with Axel. Shouting a very audible ‘Oh, shit!’ Cappa eats a right hand from Axel and a second, and a third! Cappa, groggy from the shots, goes backward, and Axel follows. Axel shouts something at Cappa, and winds up…

 

 

…BAM! SOLID right from Axel sends Cappa over the top rope and to the floor! Axel eliminates Cappa!

 

COLE

Cappa is out of here! Stiff right from Axel did it!

ELIMINATED: 4th

ELIMINATED BY: Axel

WRESTLERS ELIMINATED: None

LEFT IN THE RING: Scotty Static, Johnny Jackson, Alfdogg, Crystal, Tha’ Puerto Rican, Dan Black, Axel

*******************************

 

Axel looks on at Cappa, momentarily losing concentration for a second… and getting surprised by Dan Black, who attempts to eliminate him! Holding onto the top rope and managing to turn around, Axel headbuts Black, who steps backward and relinquishes his grip on The Dark One. Crystal and PR trade shots on the other side of the ring, with Crystal connecting with a German Suplex, taking Tha’ Puerto Rican down to the delight of the crowd!

 

COLE

Oh look! Alfdogg could be gone!

 

Alfdogg is hanging on by a thread as both members of the Global Party Exchange try to eliminate him. Dan Black comes in from the side and catches Johnny Jackson in the back of the head with an elbow, which leaves Static to try and eliminate Alfdogg, and Axel taking his time around the ring, perhaps waiting for the next entrant. Crystal continues to have the advantage on PR, grounding the former NA Champ, and trying to wear him down with different shots to the temple.

 

COACH

Here’s the COUNTDOWN!

*BUZZZZZZ!!!!!!!*

 

"Punishment" by BIOHAZARD kicks in, and The Current Big Thing, Brock Ausstin appears from behind the curtain, doing the famous HAPPY HAPPY HOSS DANCE!

 

COACH

Wow, if JR were here, he’d be hyperventilating right now!

 

CABOOSE

Wow, you just said a word with six syllables, is that some sort of record?

 

Brock walks down to the ring and hops up onto the apron, where he sees Axel, a man who he has had a lot of trouble with in the past. He steps between the ropes and into the squared circle, where he comes face to face with his former adversary.

 

COLE

Both these guy hate each other’s guts! This could explode!

 

Brock and Axel trash talk, but Brock stops the words with a knee to the stomach of Axel! Brock scoops Axel up… and slams him down hard on the mat.

 

CABOOSE

The power of Brock Ausstin has always been too much for Axel to handle. Kill him Brock!

 

Brock comes off of the ropes… big elbow drop to the chest of Axel! Brock mounts his opponent, and begins clubbing away with a series of blows!

 

COLE

Brock Ausstin has lost it! He’s going to town on Axel, the first man to ever pin him!

 

COACH

Oh, he won’t like that you mentioned that Cole!

 

COLE (sarcastically)

Well he can blow it out his ass, can’t he Coach?

 

CABOOSE

Feisty!

 

Brock stops the torture and picks Axel up to his feet by the hair. The Current Big Thing then forces Axel back to the ropes, and tries to lift him over, but Axel has his right foot hooked under the bottom rope.

 

COLE

Sound strategy from Axel on this exchange, Brock doesn’t realise that Axel’s foot is hooked around that bottom rope, so he can’t eliminate him!

 

Meanwhile, Crystal, still working on eliminating PRL, going so far as to get him over the top rope… but Tha’ Puerto Rican is very much aware of what is going on, and he slides under the bottom rope straight away, halting the danger of elimination. In the opposite corner, Dan Black has his boot placed firmly on Johnny Jackson’s throat, choking the life out of the former Tag Champion. Alfdogg has the advantage on Scotty Static now that it is one on one, and he has Static perched on the top turnbuckle, with the other half of GPX holding on!

 

COACH

There’s so much action going on here guys, how in the hell are we supposed to call it?

 

Brock realizes where Axel’s foot is, and unhooks it, trying to eliminate him once again, but Crystal is there this time to come to Axel’s aid, landing the double sledge to the back of Brock’s head. Brock turns around to face Crystal, who lands three well placed right hands to the temple of the big man, before Brock catches her with both hands, by the throat!

 

COLE

Brock’s got her by the throat! Crystal’s in trouble!

 

Luckily, Axel repays the favor, hooking Brock’s waist with one hand, and using immense strength to drop him down with a back suplex! Suddenly, we have a COUNTDOWN!

*BUZZZZZZ!!!!!!!*

 

COLE

It’s… T-Bod!

 

Ah yes, the other half of Black T trudges down the entrance ramp, looking at the in ring happenings. PRL is down, Axel and Crystal are working on Brock Ausstin, Alfdogg is paired up with Johnny Jackson, and his partner Dan Black has the advantage over Scotty Static. To the surprise of no one, T-Bod climbs into the ring and begins helping his partner dismantle Johnny ‘Jam’ Jackson.

 

COLE

Smart strategy by T-Bod, pairing up with Black, and working a two one one.

 

CABOOSE

Even smarter strategy by PRL, he’s foxin’!

 

Black T begin to pummel Jackson even further, and Static finally breaks free of Alfdogg’s grip, pushing him away, and running to his partner’s aid through dropkicking Dan Black from behind, and sending him over the top rope…

 

 

CABOOSE

NO!

 

…but he holds on!

 

CABOOSE

Oh god, that was close.

 

Crystal leaves Axel to deal with Brock, as she sees out of the corner of her eye that PRL isn’t as incapacitated as he is letting on, while he’s lying in the corner. Crystal walks over to him, only to cop a hard shot in the stomach! PRL gets to his feet and hits Crystal again, following it with a toe kick! He goes for another Cappa Killer… but Crystal pushes him off! PRL then goes for the Latin Slam… but Crystal elbows out of that as well! PRL tries one last time for a big move… and he connects with a DIAMOND CUTTER!

 

CABOOSE

The LIGHTNING STRIKE!

 

COACH

No! Get up Crystal!

 

PRL gets up and smiles at the crowd, happy with his handiwork. Suddenly a cheer goes up amongst the fans, and PRL wonders what’s going on. His question is soon answered, as we see a shot of none other than PANTHER making his way through the fans!

 

CABOOSE

What the hell is he doing here? He was eliminated! Restrain him!

 

Panther hops over the guardrail, and PRL pleads with officials to stop Panther from making in to the ring, but they are too late, as Panther slides back into the squared circle… and takes PRL down with a spear tackle!

 

COACH

Panther takes PRL DOWN!

 

Panther opens up on Tha’ Puerto Rican with rights and lefts, just going to town on his adversary. He finally gets off of PRL and pulls him to his feet, backing him up against the ropes, and clotheslining both men over the top rope and to the floor…

 

 

 

… But PRL holds on! PRL is up on the apron quickly, relived that he held on. He isn’t happy for long though, as Crystal knocks him off the apron and to the floor, eliminating Tha’ Puerto Rican!

 

CABOOSE

THAT’S A TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE!

 

COLE

PRL is eliminated!

COLE

Well Panther got revenge for his elimination earlier and now Tha’ Puerto Rican is out of the Rumble!

 

CABOOSE

Well it’s a travesty Michael Cole, and I hope Panther is fined heavily for his actions!

 

As Panther and PRL fight out of screen, Black T and the Global party Exchange continue to square off, and now Axel has moved on to fighting with Alfdogg, and Crystal and Brock are also squaring off, as we head to a COUNTDOWN~!

*BUZZZZZZ!!!!!!!*

 

COLE

Oh no…

 

CABOOSE

Business has picked up guys!

 

“Getting Away With Murder” begins as the fans collectively lose their freaking minds and start booing their asses off, obviously signifying the arrival of The Franchise of the OAOAST, Zack Malibu!

 

Afldogg and Axel continue to trade right hands, with Axel ducking under a attempted clothesline… but he gets struck with a SUPERKICK from Alf, taking him down! Zack Malibu then slides into the ring, only to go face to face with Alf!

 

COLE

Man, two OAOAST veterans, and they’re going to square off! The crowd is loving this!

 

Zack and Alf start the jaw jacking, waiting for one to make the first move. Zack finally does, and it’s on. Right hands, right hands, and more right hands, which seems to be a running theme in this whole match. Zack comes in with a hard knif-edged chop, and Alf comes back with one of his own, the crowd ‘whooing’ along with each one.

 

COACH

This is electric!

 

Zack finally gets the advantage, as he is the fresher man. He knocks Alfdogg down, before running over to help Black T with the Global Party Exchange! Zack drops to his knees and delivers a low, LOW blow on Scotty Static, who was pummeling Dan Black, followed by a stiff kick to the back of the head on Johnny Jackson, who almost had T-Bod beat!

 

CABOOSE

The numbers game boys, the numbers game always wins!

 

The Original Elite zero in on their prey, with the three men focusing firstly on Scotty Static, who is holding his balls in pain, and who is backed up against the ropes. The three men pick Scotty’s dead weight up with ease, and bundle him over the top rope for an easy elimination!

 

COLE

Scotty’s gone, and Johnny could be next!

Johnny tries desperately to fight back from the apparent onslaught, taking the route of fighting with all three men, with fists and elbows flying everywhere! It seems that he may just pull off the impossible for a split second, but the numbers game wins out again, with all three men forcing Jackson over the top rope, and to the floor, almost as if they had practiced it!

 

COACH

And there’s Johnny Jackson out! It doesn’t look good for Axel, Crystal or Alfdogg right now!

*BUZZZZZZ!!!!!!!*

 

COLE

… Leon Rodez!

 

The crowd explodes in much the same way as they did for Axel and Crystal earlier as Rodez sprints to the ring to take care of business. He slides underneath the bottom rope, only to be jumped by all three members of The Original Elite! The ambush doesn’t last long, however, as Crystal takes T-Bod down from behind, and Alfdogg goes to Dan Black, leaving Leon Rodez one on one with his hated rival, Zack Malibu! Zack puts the boots to Rodez, taunting him as he does so, the hatred apparent in his eyes! Meanwhile, Brock Ausstin has Axel in his grasp, and is signaling that he will eliminate the Dark One!

 

COACH

Axel is in deep, deep trouble with Brock!

 

Brock lifts Axel up onto his shoulders, with the intent to F-Stunner 5 him out of the ring, and out of the Rumble! He spins around for the move… But Axel slips down his back! Axel goes for an Axel Slam on Brock… but Brock reverses and slips down Axel’s back, leaving Axel against the ropes! Brock tries to clothesline Axel out of the ring, but Axel ducks out of it and runs to the other side of the ropes! Axel runs at Brock…

 

… AND HITS A RUNNING ENZIGURI, TAKING BROCK OVER THE TOP ROPE AND ELIMINATING HIM!

 

COLE

Brock is OUT! The biggest man in this match is GONE, thanks to Axel!

 

COACH

Great move by Axel, the running enziguri caught Brock in the side of the head!

*******************************

 

Axel looks proud of his latest accomplishment, and second elimination of the match. He is soon brought back down to earth though, as Dan Black floors him with a running elbow strike! On the other side of the ring, Alfdogg and Zack Malibu are still going at it, But Alfdogg gets the knockdown. Leon Rodez sweeps T-Bod off of his feet with a vertical suplex, taking the other half of Black T down.

 

COLE

Leon Rodez might be going for Because the lady loves!

 

Rodez climbs between the second and top ropes, to avoid elimination, and hops up to the top rope. He stands up; ready for the 450 Splash he calls his own, when Alfdogg runs up the ropes, trying to take Rodez down with a top rope belly to belly! But Rodez holds on!

 

COACH

We could have two quick eliminations!

 

Alfdogg and Rodez exchange right hands and elbows, both perched on the top rope. Alfdogg looks to have the advantage, and tries to push Rodez off of the ropes, but Rodez holds on, and pushes Alfdogg! Alf starts to lose his balance, and Rodez gives him a swift elbow to the temple!

 

CABOOSE

Here goes the career of a great!

 

Alf falls back... and out of the ring!

 

COACH

Alfdogg is out!

*******************************

 

COLE

The career of an OAOAST great is ended by a future OAOAST great, Leon Rodez!

 

Zack Malibu, meanwhile, has gone to fight Axel, who is more than happy to comply. T-Bod squares off with Crystal also, and the Female Phenom has the advantage early… but T-Bod goes for a thumb to the eye. Irish Whip by T-Bod, Crystal comes off of the ropes… Spinning Heel Kick!

 

COLE

Crystal just almost took T-Bod’s head off with that Heel Kick!

 

T-Bod is up quickly, and Crystal is there, putting him in a waist lock, and trying a German Suplex... but T-Bod blocks it! T-Bod turns around and hits the Rude Awakening!

 

COACH

Great neckbreaker by T-Bod… what am I saying? You bastard! Don’t hurt her!

 

Dan Black has Leon Rodez on the top rope and almost eliminated, but Rodez lands a kick to the side of the head to send Black staggering back. Rodez stays on the top rope, and waits for Dan Black to turn around, before flooring him with the Silk Worm! Axel meanwhile, has Irish Whipped Zack into the ropes, and he tries for a Spinebuster, but Zack slips behind him! Axel turns round…

 

 

 

 

…and RIGHT INTO SCHOOL’S OUT!

 

CABOOSE

YES! You showed him Zack!

 

Zack sees that Dan Black is in trouble, and runs over to Leon Rodez, who is trying to eliminate the member of the Original Elite. Zack stops Rodez, pulling him off of Dan Black, and holds his arms from behind, giving Black a free shot! Black swings, and lands a hard right to the prone anatomy of Leon Rodez. He swings again, and lands another!

 

COLE

This isn’t fair! It’s two on one!

 

Dan Black backs up against the ropes, going for a clothesline on Leon Rodez…

 

 

…but Rodez ducks, and Black knocks down his partner, Zack Malibu!

 

Black turns around, irate with what he has done, and Rodez catches him with a boot to the midsection! Rodez hooks Black’s arms… TIGER DRIVER!

 

COLE

Beautiful Tiger Driver by Leon Rodez, and both Dan Black and Zack Malibu are down!

 

Leon grabs Malibu first and tries to eliminate him, but Dan Black holds Zack’s foot, so Rodez can’t shift the former OAOAST Champion! Rodez tries desperately to move Zack, but Dan Black has a grip on him! Finally, Rodez kicks Dan right in the head, which releases his hold on his partner. Rodez begins to take Zack over to the ropes, but Zack soon stops him with a boot to the stomach, Rodez doubling over in shock from the shot that obviously took the wind from his sails.

 

COACH

It’s hard to see who has the advantage on this exchange, it changes so often!

 

Zack with a hard clubbing blow to the back of Rodez’ head, followed by a straight right to the temple. Rodez falls back against the ropes, and Dan Black finally gets to his feet, and looks at his partner, who looks back at Dan. Zack and Dan both charge…

 

 

…and double clothesline Leon Rodez over the top rope, and out of the match!

 

COLE

Rodez is out! Dan Black and Zack Malibu eliminated Leon Rodez!

… and ELIMINATES HIM FROM THE RUMBLE!

 

CABOOSE

WHAT?

 

COACH

WOW! DAN BLACK WAS ELIMINATED BY ZACK MALIBU! THAT’S INCREDIBLE!

 

Zack smiles and shrugs at the shocked Dan Black, and mouths the words ‘every man for himself’ to his irate partner! The arena is in shock!

*******************************

 

COLE

Neither can we Caboose! Zack Malibu eliminated one of his partners in the Original Elite!

 

Just as the elimination occurs, T-Bod PLANTS Crystal with a Spinebuster, and immediately gets up and runs over to Zack! T-Bod gets in Zack’s face, and asks him what the hell is going on, to which Zack just shrugs, exactly how he did to Dan Black earlier. T-Bod pushes Zack backward, who sarcastically pushes T-Bod back, and invites him to take a shot, stating that it’s every man for himself.

 

CABOOSE

No guys! Don’t fight! Please!

 

T-Bod cocks his fist back, ready to hit Malibu, but before anything can happen, both men are taken down by stereo spears by Axel and Crystal! The Happy couple opens up on their adversaries, with Crystal pummeling Zack, and Axel going to town on T-Bod.

 

Axel lifts T-Bod to his feet, and Crystal does the same to Zack. They each take opposite sides of the ring to try and eliminate their opponents. Axel tries to lift T-Bod over the top rope, but the veteran won’t oblige, raking Axel’s eyes, and sending him backward. Crystal tries the same to Zack, but she gets a thumb to the eye also, with the heels using dirty tactics to try and gain the advantage. T-Bod goes for a right hand, but Axel blocks it and hits one of his own! Axel hits three more right hands, and has T-Bod against the ropes! Axel measures his opponent…

 

CABOOSE

NO!

 

… and catapult’s him over the top rope with his patented stiff uppercut, a loud ‘SMACK’ of fist on jaw making the crowd let out a loud “OOOOOOOOOH”, as T-Bod goes over the top, and out of the Rumble match!

 

COLE

That shot is amazing guys! Axel puts so much power behind that uppercut!

 

COACH

And T-Bod is gone! We are down to the Final Three! Axel, Crystal, and Zack Malibu!

Just as T-Bod is eliminated, Axel turns around… only to see Crystal running at him as a result of a Zack Malibu Irish Whip! So, Axel does the first thing that comes to his mind, he ducks, and Crystal jumps over him, and over the top rope to land on the apron!

 

COLE

Close call there…

 

Axel asks Crystal if she’s ok, to which she nods, and he turns around again… And RIGTH INTO SCHOOL’S OUT! Axel falls backwards, and into Crystal…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

…which knocks her off of the apron, ELIMINATING HER!

CABOOSE

And THAT is how you eliminate your girlfriend. Great stuff by Axel, bravo!

 

COACH

But he didn’t… he couldn’t… Zack forced Axel into Crystal! It wasn’t his fault! NO!

 

CABOOSE

Well, at least Axel can go have a romance with Gene F’N Snitsky when he gets DUMPED! Or maybe that WAS Axel dumping Crystal! If so, good show Down Under boy, great show!

 

COLE

You have to believe that Axel didn’t mean to eliminate Crystal there; he was pushed into her by Zack’s super kick!

 

Axel looks down at Crystal, wide eyed, apologizing profusely. His expression soon turns from one of shock to one of immense anger though, as he turns around to face the only other man in the ring, Zack Malibu. Zack laughs at Axel, taunting him for eliminating his girlfriend, until Axel fires at him with a right! A left! Another right! Zack tries a haymaker, but misses, Axel backs up, charges, and connects with a HUGE Harlem Sidekick!

 

COLE

I take it Axel isn’t happy guys…

 

Axel begins to pick Zack up… but Zack regains the advantage with a low blow!

 

COACH

Glad to see he’s setting an example for the kiddies guys.

 

Zack gets up from the move and measures Axel, who is slowly getting to his feet. Axel turns around to face Zack, and RIGHT INTO SCHOOL’s O… NO! Axel catches Zack’s foot! Axel pushes Zack’s foot back down, and floors him with a vicious clothesline that sends the fans into a frenzy! Axel BEGS Malibu to get up again, and he obliges. More rights by Axel, Irish whip by the Dark one…

 

 

 

 

right into a SPINEBUSTAH~!

 

COLE

Better than Hoff’s!

 

Axel picks Zack up by the hair and signals for the end! He runs over to the ropes, attempting to throw Zack over… but Zack reverses throwing Axel over the top rope…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and Axel lands on the apron!

 

COACH

Whew! Close call!

 

Zack looks at Axel, prone, on the ring apron, and smirks, going for a right hand… but Axel ducks under, and hooks Zack’s head for a front face lock!

 

COLE

Oh my! Axel is going to try and suplex Zack over the top rope!

 

CABOOSE

NO! Zack! Hold on! You were my pick from the start!

 

Axel tries to suplex Zack once, and the crowd wills him on with their cheers, and chants of ‘AX-EL! AX-EL!’ Zack blocks the first attempt, but not the second, with Axel lifting him up for a suplex. Luckily for the Franchise though, he shifts his weight, and Axel can no longer hold him up, with Zack landing on the apron also!

 

COLE

Both men are on the apron, one could go at any time!

 

Axel gets a right hand to the face of Zack, with one arm still holding onto the top rope. Zack replies with a right, and the two men exchange three or four more punches that are sure to take the tally in this match to beyond four digits. Zack rakes Axel’s eyes, and he instinctively puts a hand to his face to hold the damaged area, but he continues his vice-like grip on the top rope.

 

COACH

Axel won’t let go! He won’t give up!

 

Zack uses Axel’s incapacitation to climb back into the ring and become somewhat ‘safe’. Zack looks at his opponent, hanging onto his chances of winning the Rumble with one hand, and smirks once again, knowing that victory is in his grasp. Zack lands a right hand, which sends Axel backward, but with his hand still gripped on the top rope. He lands a second, but Axel won’t let go! Zack hooks Axel’s head in a suplex position, and tries to suplex him out of the Rumble, but Axel still won’t let go!

 

COACH

Axel is like a pit bulldog!

 

Axel breaks the front face lock, grabs Zack’s head, and hangs him up on the top rope, sending the two time OAOAST Champion backward, and down, and giving Axel enough time to get into the ring!

 

COLE

Well Axel’s back and safe!

 

Axel collects his thoughts for a second, and Zack gets back up. Zack charges, and goes for SCHOOL’S OU… but misses again, with Axel ducking under! Axel picks Zack up from behind, attempting an Axel Slam!

 

COLE

Axel Slam coming! Zack is out!

 

Axel attempts an Axel Slam out of the ring…

 

COACH

Axel Slam! Axel Slam out of the ring!

 

 

…but Zack lands on the apron once again! Zack stares at Axel, knowing that he is almost gone. He tries a haymaker left, but misses. A haymaker right, but misses that as well.

 

COLE

Nothing’s working! Nowhere to go for Zack Malibu!

 

Axel smiles at Zack in much the same way as Zack smiled at him earlier. Zack screams “YOU CAN’T BEAT ME YOU SON OF A BITCH!” and Axel soon replies, measuring Zack, and connecting…

 

 

…with A STIFF UPPERCUT THAT SENDS ZACK FLYING OFF THE APRON AND TO THE FLOOR!

 

*DING DING DING*

 

CABOOSE

NO! HE CAN’T WIN!

 

COACH

But HE DID! AXEL ELIMINATED ZACK MALIBU!

COLE

AXEL DID IT! AXEL WON THE RUMBLE! AXEL IS GOING TO ANGLEMANIA!

 

As ‘Down with the Sickness’ begins to blare, Axel stands in the middle f the ring, the victor, the survivor of this grueling Rumble match. He stands proud, looking around at the crowd who have given him the support that he has needed throughout his victory. He then raises his head, before points to the left side of the crowd, the right side of the crowd, and then to the centre crowd, before…

 

 

BOOOOOOOM! He strikes the crucifix pose, igniting the four turnbuckles with pyrotechnics! He then gets his hand raised by the official, and climbs up the turnbuckle to pose and celebrate his win.

 

CABOOSE

This makes me sick! He does not deserve this! Zack was supposed to win!

 

COACH

Axel outlasted fourteen of the TOP OAOAST superstars tonight to win the Rumble match! He is going to AngleMania Four to face the OAOAST Champion! What an opportunity! What a victory! What a night!

 

COLE

And on that note ladies and gentlemen, we bid you farewell, and leave you with this final statement: THE ROAD TO ANGLEMANIA HAS JUST BEGUN!
