Mystery Eskimo

FROM THE VAULT JR A very special match from The Vault now, as we go back over a year ago, when Dan Black was competing as Mystery Eskimo and Stephen Joseph as Big Poppa Popick. At Doomsday, there was a huge X Title Death Match tournament that brought these two men together. As if that's not enough, the match was a triple threat. The third star in that match? The man who captains the Deadly Alliance into Deadly Game- Alfdogg! These three men are long time OAOAST superstars- and this tape just shows how brutal they can be! Roll it boys! DOOMSDAY PPV 27th October 2002 OAOAST X-Title Opening Round King of the DeathMatch Tournament, Match 4 Alfdogg vs. Big Poppa Popick vs. Masked Mystery Eskimo Barbed Wire Ladder and Bed of Thumbtacks JIM ROSS An eight-foot ladder, wrapped from top to bottom with razor-sharp barbed wire, is opened up at the end of the entrance way, available for any competitor to use. Unlike other barbed wire ladders, this one has the two legs wrapped individually, so that the ladder is able to be opened up. Also, a bed with roughly 10,000 thumbtacks is in the middle of the ring, awaiting the unfortunate soul who falls in. CUE: "The Wall" Former OAOAST World Champion, Alfdogg, makes his way out to a MASSIVE CHEERS. GARY MICHAEL CAPPETTA Introducing first, Alfdogg! JIM ROSS Alf lost the World title to CWM at Excessive Force, and has disappeared ever since losing an X-Title match to Sandman. This is Alf's big return match, and a chance for vengeance against those who have gone against him. CUE: "Sweetness" OAOAST North American champion, Big Poppa Popick, makes his way down to the ring. GARY MICHAEL CAPPETTA His opponent, the OaOast North American Champion, Big Poppa Popick! JIM ROSS BPP, despite the fact that he has to defend his North American title against Angle-Plex later tonight, decided to enter the KODM tournament, in the hopes of walking out of Doomsday with a second belt. BPP also has scores to settle with Alfdogg and Masked Mystery Eskimo. CUE: "Ice Ice Baby" the Masked Mystery Eskimo makes his way down to the ring to a chorus of boos. GARY MICHAEL CAPPETTA Their opponent, the Masked Mystery Eskimo! TONY "THE BODY" JR, it should be noted Derek the Fish is not present, as MME does not want him in such an environment. Remember Derek got burned during the inferno match a few months back. JIM ROSS MME broke away from the OAOAST with a group of other workers and founded the OAOMEF. If MME is able to take the X-Title, it will be a major blow to the OAOAST. The three men stand across from each other, the bed of thumbtacks in the middle. The official calls for the bell... * DING * As the three men circle the ring. BPP is first to strike, as he locks up with MME and backs him into the corner. BPP hits a hard chop to the chest of MME, as Alf comes over. MME stares hard at BPP and chops him back. Alf shoves MME back into the corner and chops him. MME chops back at Alf, but is chopped by BPP. BPP chops MME again, then Alf hits a chop of his own. BPP stares at Alf, then chops MME again. Alf quickly responds with another chop to the chest of MME, who is dazed in the corner. BPP and Alf get into each other's faces and start talking trash. Alf breaks the stalemate by chopping BPP, who responds with a chop of his own. The two trash chops again, until MME hits chops to the chest of both men. Alf and BPP look at each other, grab MME by the arms, and deliver a double hiptoss INTO THE BED OF THUMBTACKS! The crowd roars as MME wiggles around, his back punctured by the thousands of thumbtacks! JIM ROSS I know I sound like a broken record, Ton' -- TONY "THE BODY" You do. JIM ROSS But I wonder why these guys put their lives on the line doing these types of matches. BPP and Alf exchange punches, as MME picks himself up and picks tacks out of his back. Alf gets the upper hand, and whips MME into the ropes, hitting BPP with a powerslam as he rebounds. Alf pulls BPP up and hits a snap suplex and floats over into a cover, 1…2…BPP kicks out. Alf stomps at BPP, then rushes over and knocks MME into the corner. Alf climbs up onto the second rope and starts firing away with the turnbuckle punches, as the crowd counts along, 1…2….3….4…..5…..6…..7..BPP comes over and hooks Alf up for a powerbomb, then walks forward and POWERBOMBS ALF INTO THE THUMBTACKS! Alf screams in pain as the unforgiving steel tacks bite into his flesh! TONY "THE BODY" I guess the good thing is, Alf can pin himself to a wall now. MME thanks BPP for his help by clobbering him from behind, as BPP narrowly avoids falling into the tacks himself. MME picks BPP up by his hair and hits a belly-to-belly suplex. MME lifts BPP up and throws him out of the ring. MME taunts BPP, then turns around to be clotheslined out of the ring by Alf, whose momentum takes him over the top to the outside as well! BPP is on his feet first, as he grabs a chair from the timekeepers table. BPP winds up, looking for crack MME with the chair, but MME moves as BPP rushes, and Alf narrowly avoids being drilled by the chair as BPP misses and hits the ring post instead. Both Alf and MME hits punches to the ribs and face of BPP, then both men whip BPP into the guardrail, as BPP hits the steel hard. Alf makes the mistake of turning his back on MME, who grabs the chair and belts Alf across the back with it, knocking the tacks even further into Alf's skin! Alf drops to his knees as MME throws the chair at BPP, catching BPP in the face! BPP drops to the ground, holding his face, as MME picks Alf up by his hair and starting bringing him around ringside. MME tries to whip Alf into the standing barbed wire ladder, but Alf reverses the whip. MME is able to save himself by baseball sliding under the ladder. However, once MME stands and turns, Alf dropkicks the standing ladder into MME's face, sending the Eskimo flying! Alf grabs the barbed wire ladder, folds it up, and props it against the ring apron. Alf picks MME up by his hair, and whips MME into the barbed wire ladder, MME crashing face first into the steel and barbed wire, and staying against the ladder. Alf grabs the back of MME's head and starts raking it against the ladder, as the barbed wire slices open MME's face! Alf is interrupted as a bloody BPP, opened up from the chair shot from MME, swings that same chair at Alf, again driving the thumbtacks further into Alf's back! Alf falls to the ground, as MME pulls away from the barbed wire ladder, blood gushing from his forehead. BPP hits MME in the stomach with the chair for good measure, then starts tossing everything into the ring. Alf, MME, the barbed wire ladder, and the chair are all slid into the ring. As BPP himself finally comes into the ring, Alf and MME double team him by the ropes, before whipping BPP across the ring, and catching him as he rebounds with a DOUBLE FLAPJACK INTO THE THUMBTACKS! BPP bounces out of the bed, with tacks stuck in the stomach and arms! JIM ROSS We said this wouldn't be for the weak of heart. BPP cringes by the ropes, as Alf clobbers MME from behind. Alf sets MME up for a T-Bone suplex into the tacks, but MME counters with elbows. MME ducks behind Alf and sets him up for a Killer Whale Plex into the tacks, but Alf counters with a mule kick, hitting MME low. With MME stunned, Alf rushes and hits a SUNSET FLIP INTO THE TACKS, BOTH MEN HURTING, 1…2…MME kicks out! BPP, having pulled some of the tacks out of his arms, interjects himself back into the match by slamming the barbed wire ladder across the back of Alf as Alf gets out of the bed of tacks. BPP shoves Alf into the corner and hits several strong kicks to the stomach, then grabs the barbed wire ladder and throw it at Alf, catching Alf in the face and stomach, as the barbed wire sticks to him! BPP picks MME up out of the bed of tacks, and whips him into the ladder and Alf, as the barbed wire ladder is sandwiched between both men! MME falls backwards, as the barbed wire ladder falls out of the corner on top of him! Alf then falls forward, splashing the barbed wire ladder and MME, which counts as a cover, 1…2…MME kicks out. BPP, in control of this match, pulls Alf off the ladder and smashes it with the chair, as MME screams in pain! BPP starts to taunt MME, as he doesn't seem Alf regaining his senses behind him. BPP drops the chair, and this gives Alf the opening he needs. Alf rushes BPP, locks on a full nelson, and delivers a RELEASE DRAGON SUPLEX INTO THE TACKS! BPP ends up face down in the bed of tacks, with tacks stuck all around his head! MME, bleeding heavily from the face, hits Alf from behind with the barbed wire ladder. MME tosses the ladder out of the way and lifts Alf up to the top rope. MME climbs up, as both men begin jockeying for position. Both men work their way up to the second rope, where Alf knocks MME off, MME narrowly missing the thumbtacks. MME is right back up, and as Alf climbs to the top, MME jumps onto the second rope, and delivers a BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPERPLEX INTO THE BED OF THUMBTACKS! Alf screams in pain, as even more tacks are driven into his body, even more holes in places where there should not be holes! BPP is slowly trying to stand and pick the tacks out of his head at the same time. MME grabs BPP from behind and delivers a BLIZZARD BOMB INTO THE THUMBTACKS! BPP is again in a world of pain, as even more tacks are stuck in his skin. MME tries covering both BPP and Alf at the same time, 1…2…Both men kick out. MME rolls Alf and BPP out of the tacks, and tries to think of some way to pin both of these men. MME picks up Alf, and spikes him with an Igloo DDT. BPP is trying again to stand, but a Penguin kick ends that idea. MME with a cover on Alf, 1..2….Alf kicks out, MME covers BPP, 1…2…kickout. MME pounds the mat, frustrated at the lack of a three count. MME gets into the face of the official, who tries to stand up to MME. MME fails to notice that Alf is recovering, and is almost to his feet. MME turns around as Alf strikes, delivering an AA SPINEBUSTER INTO THE THUMBTACKS! MME looks like he is out of it, as even more tacks enter his body! JIM ROSS Shades of Arn Anderson. TONY "THE BODY" That looked like "the Out of Body Experience" to me. BPP starts to stand, as Alf opens up the barbed wire ladder in the corner. BPP pulls MME out of the bed of tacks by his bloody hair, as Alf begins to climb the barbed wire ladder. BPP delivers a FACING FULL NELSON CHOKEBOMB INTO THE THUMBTACKS, as Alf reaches the top of the ladder, poses for the crowd, and comes off with the FIVE STAR ALF SPLASH, HITTING MME IN THE BED OF THUMBTACKS! Alf covers the dead MME, 1…2…..3! GARY MICHAEL CAPPETTA The Masked Mystery Eskimo has been eliminated. BPP jumps onto Alf, attacking him as MME rolls out of the ring. BPP with several vicious forearm shots to the back of Alf's skull, pounding some of the tacks even further into Alf's body. BPP grabs the barbed wire ladder, folds it up, and slams it down hard across the back of Alf. BPP pulls Alf to his feet, and takes Alf over with a belly-to-belly suplex. BPP goes to the top rope, plays to the crowd, and comes off with a legdrop, but Alf moves and there is no one home for BPP! BPP bounces to his feet, holding his leg in pain, while Alf grabs BPP from behind and delivers a GERMAN SUPLEX INTO THE TACKS, HOLDING THE BRIDGE, 1…2….BPP KICKS OUT! Alf slams the mat out of frustration, then yells "That's it!" to the crowd. Alf lifts BPP out of the bed of tacks, and throws him with a T-Bone suplex. BPP lands near the ropes and tries to pull himself to his feet, when Alf pulls BPP to his feet and delivers a DVD. Alf, not finished, pulls BPP up to his feet again, lifts BPP into the torture rack position, and delivers THE MOTHERFUCKING BURNING HAMMER INTO THE THUMBTACKS! ALF COVERS, 1…2….BPP KICKS OUT OF THE BURNING HAMMER INTO THUMBTACKS! JIM ROSS I think I'm going to be sick. Alf can't believe it, as he goes after the official in a mad frenzy. Alf then grabs the barbed wire ladder and pounds the crap out of BPP with it. Alf covers BPP again, 1…2….BPP kicks out once more! Alf lifts the bed of tacks and dumps the contents onto BPP's fallen body. Alf kicks the tacks around the ring, and tosses the bed to the outside, so that thumbtacks are now all over the ring. With a majority of the thumbtacks on BPP's body, Alf sets the ladder up and begins to climb. As Alf reaches the sixth rung, tacks and blood all over his body, BPP begins to stir. Alf reaches the top of the ladder, just as BPP starts to pull himself up using the ladder. Alf climbs back down to the sixth rung as BPP, whether out of guts or foolishness, starts to climb the ladder! Both men meet around the fifth rung, with Alf scoring a majority of the punches. Both men are woozy and looking to avoid falling into the thumbtack covered ring, when AP rushes the ring with a chair! AP climbs onto the apron, steps into the ring, and shoves the ladder over, as both BPP and Alf fall off the ladder, hit the ring ropes, and fall backwards into the thumbtack covered ring! The crowd boos frantically, as AP picks BPP up and destroys him with a vicious chair shot that dents the chair and K.O.'s BPP. AP looks happy with his work, when he suddenly picks Alf up and drops him on his skull with the Angle-Plex into the thumbtacks! AP, holding his back from the earlier punishment and the thumbtacks, rolls BPP onto Alf? AP exits the ring as the official counts, 1…2….3! * DING * DING * DING * GARY MICHAEL CAPPETTA The winner of the match, Big Poppa Popick! JR HOLY CRAP! Will this be what happens at Deadly Game? Does history repeat itself? Well, I'm not expecting Angle-Plex, but expect this level of competition! If this tape doesn't get the three men fired up, nothing will! We'll be right back! COMMERCIALS

The cameras cut to The Shuffle in the back. He's leaning on a wall talking on a phone. He's wearing baggy blue jeans and a white THE SHUFFLE~! pullover. Shuffle: "... I understand that, but I also know that you need me. And I want in! (pauses to listen to somebody on the other end of the phone) But Jesse's hurt worse than I am. I might be beat up, but I can still wrestle. (listening again) No, that's fine- I'll sign a waiver, I won't hold OAOAST responsible for anything that happens to me. I understand this is my choice. (listening) Don't worry, Stephen, you can count on me. You know what they say... 'Hell that no furry like a Shuffle who got dropped on his damn head!'... Thanks man- you won't regret this!" Shuffle hangs up his phones as a random OAOAST staffer walks by. An obviously excited Shuffle: "Holdupasec. I've got some great news!! I just got off the phone with Stephen Joseph. He's agreed to let me take Jesse's place in the triple threat tag match and Deadly Games!! I'm going to get in there and get my hands on the Dangerous Alliance after all. YEAAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Shuffle lets out another yell and starts to dance his way down the hallway, mid dance he stops, grimaces and grabs his neck. JR: Well, Shuffle's got his wish, but he doesn't look like he's in any shape to wrestle. Let's hope this young man hasn't written a check that his BUTT can't cash. COMMERCIALS

The camera pans backstage, and out to the street... arriving is a metallic navigator with spinning wheels blasting magic stick by fifty cent. As the doors open two gorgeous women hop out. Following them are the Human Power Bomb machine and D-nice dressed in roca wear gear. A young IZ roving reporter stops them for a few words. Interviewer: So, d-nice, you made an impact at the gauntlet match two weeks ago and now you're booked for Deadly Games helping out Stephen Joseph. Anything to say for yourself? D-nice: yeah - like i told the fans and everyone else i'm not face or heel i'm out for the greater good of myself and i saw an oppurtunity and seized it. Four weeks before i arrived i was steadily trying to reach dan black to broker me and the big guy's arrival to the intense zone but he was to busy concentrating on stephen joseph to be bother with the likes of us. I even offered HPB and my services to try and take out Stephen Joseph but naw he could be reached so we reach hi another way. I called up Stephen Joseph and he was more than thrill to have us on his side. You see people see the gear and the navigators and the women and they start to question our seriousness to this business but don't let the smooth taste fool ya! This here (pointing to the women sitting on the hood of the navigator) is pleasure, when i'm in that squared circle i'm all business and at Deadly Games i'm going to combine both it'll be my pleasure to take care of business against Dan Black and company and that's all i got to say about that. Now if you don't mind i'm late for a meeting with stephen joseph. Come ladies, let's roll. JR Well folks you heard it from the horses mouth so to speak - D-nice is here to stay and he's commited to help Stephen Joseph deal with Dan Black. If was Dan I'd be worried, it seems like when you make an enemy of d-nice you got one for life. Can this big man make the difference at Deadly Game?

A camera, a desk, and Stephen Joseph in a chair. Nothing more. Stephen Joseph This is simply a message to our friends, The Deadly Alliance. Thanks very much for hurting Jesse Ventura. Now he'll be regulated to just announcing the PPV of Deadly Games instead of being a part of the corporate team. But did you expect for his spot to be filled so quickly? I'd be worried, because Shuffle took an opportunity that he saw open. He's hungry. He's dangerous. He's deadly. And D-Nice, another new transiation. You say he's what, hired labor, and cheap at that? Sure. Alfie, I've been around the OAOAST longer than you. I was Deadly before you. And I'll be damn sure to put my eggs into a better basket than you. And really, when have I been wrong. Put it simply Alf, your Deadly Alliance is marked. That's been arranged. Signed. Sealed. Delivered, on a silver platter. You're a gnat causing an itch, so we scratch you away. I'll worry about correcting Mr. Black when the time is right. Let's talk about your Deadly Alliance Alfdogg. You, a former joke of a champion, and I believe I was the one who helped you win it, right? G Money? Where the hell is he? Dangerous A, a backstabber and charlatan, will only stay a member as long as he thinks you're stronger than he is Alf. And Al Logan? I squashed his ass last week. You forget Alf. While you and Caboose, the self-styled Deadly Alliance greats were losing World Titles, I was TV Champion. The record shows I kept my belt when you lost yours. You were the man? You not even a boy. Alfdogg, you know it best that I ran The Deadly Alliance when ti was its best. Which is why I find it strangely appropriate that we face each other at Deadly Games. And it's also appropriate that I can wrestle. Because at Deadly Games Alfdogg, the REAL Deadly Alliance is coming back. And there's nothing you can do Alfdogg, but to sit back, tuck your head between your legs, and kiss your ass goodbye. Signed. Sealed. Delivered. Deadly Games just became a Fatal Game for your wretched Alliance. Ashes to Ashes Dust to Dust Fuck with me? You'll be bust. Yo. Word. JR We haven't heard a cryptic promo from Stephen in a long time, but how can he bring back the Deadly Alliance of old. Who does Stephen have that we don't know about? And why is he rapping?

(Backstage Blurricane stands before 4 of the clones) BLURRICANE This is it! The day has finally come and the four of you are the Blurri-Rangers. Heroes that will triumph the cause of the helpless. Each of you will be given a different colored outfit. The Red Blurri-Ranger...full of strength and power. The Yellow Blurri-Ranger...full of energy and speed. The Green Blurri-Ranger...full of wisdom and knowledge. And finally the Orange Blurri-Ranger...full of courage and endurance. You are the Blurri-Rangers and you will help those who need it and guard those who need guarding. (Blurricane then dismissed them and sat down, looking deep in thought.) GREEN Have you heard anything from Judas? BLURRICANE No...not yet. I am becoming worried. I don't understand why he hasn't returned my calls. GREEN I'm sure he is okay. BLURRICANE I hope you are right. :: Cut to the familiar sight of Dan Black sitting at his desk, speaking on the telephone :: BLACK Jennifer, I don't care if they ARE exhausted- work them harder! HARDER! I want Blackheart Security at their best for the Scramble match! A pause as Black listens. BLACK I - DON'T- GIVE - A - DAMN! Another 10K run, then hit the gym! You too missy! Pause BLACK Do you WANT to go back to working for McDonalds? Then remember who pays your wages! Get to it! Dan slams down the phone and shakes his head, a slight look of concern on his face. Dan sighs and goes to pick up a stack of papers when suddenly ALFDOGG bursts in! ALF Worried, Dan? Worried that your little team of kids is going to get ripped apart by a collection so powerful you can't even dream of competing? BLACK Alfie...how many times has the Deadly Alliance formed? And how many times has it failed and fallen apart? I'm not worried. You see me beat your best man, Dangerous A, in Japan last week. It was EASY. ALF As I recall it was YOUR blood that was spilt, Dan. But look, I didn't come here to argue. I came with an offer. BLACK Really. I don't think you have anything I want, Alf. ALF I disagree. I think you know your team of kids is in trouble. So how about you just withdraw from the match. I won't stop you. BLACK Oh, you'd like that, wouldn't you... ALF I'm just thinking of you, boss. You could get hurt with such a team of losers. BLACK And you'd just love to be the only team going against Joseph's Corporates. ALF Someone has to take him down= and it should be ME! BLACK What? You've been back for two months. I've been battling Stephen on and off for almost TWO YEARS. Do you know what its been like living in his shadow, Alf? DO YOU? ALF As a former OAOAST World Champion, I'd have to say I don't live in anyone's shadow. BLACK Then it's time you learnt. A strange look comes over Black's face, as he stares into the distance and speaks softly... BLACK It's time you all learnt... ALF Fine. The Alliance will crush you just like we'll crush Stephen. And when the dust settles, and you're so humiliated you can barely look anyone in the eye- come to me. We'll talk. The DA can use someone to sweep up after them, or something. BLACK Alf...get out of my office right now. ALF Or what, you'll call your crappy security team to throw me out? BLACK No. Oh no, Alf. I'll do it myself. With pleasure. Alf sees the INTENSE look in the pale eyes of Dan Black, and shrugs. ALF I'll see you Sunday, Dan. Deadly Game is made for the Deadly Alliance. Alf stalks out, and Dan sits, trembling with passion and anger. JR Well we can see how much this match means to Dan Black! But its also a chance for Alfdogg and the Deadly Alliance to establish themselves as the dominant force on IZ! I can't wait to see how the Scramble match goes down! We'll be right back, don't go anywhere! COMMERCIALS

Thread up a bit late I know, but what can we get together?

He's pretty dull. He's fat and can move faster then Big Show. Nothing to pay money for.

The pressure of being World Champion. Thanks Cal

The show will probably be up quite late, so if anyone needs more time to write they have it.

Question- Emerald Fusion, Emerald Frozen, Emerald Froison or whatever- what's the correct name?

AM2: Superstar vs Tony Great Angle Bash: Dangerous A vs Banky Licence to Pin: Zack vs Dreams

Who is writing it? Anyone who can?

Sounds great. Dan Black will be in action...if I get time.

I'll be posting the show. More stuff please!

How about this for discussion- what do they need to fix/improve for the next game?

Great main event and a solid show. A minor thing- the opening bit with Calvin and Dan doesn't make sense continuity wise as its written as being after Dan's match. Doesn't matter really though.

Dan Black continues to build the worldwide reputation of OAOAST: IntenseZone, as he has been invited to take IZ overseas for a special edition live from the Tokyo Dome, Japan! Joining Jim Ross at the announce table will be the legendary Mr. Fuji, to pass on his opinions on the IZ talent. Who will be on hand? What surprises will await the IZ superstars? Tune in next Tuesday night to find out! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Just thought it might be fun to do something bit different. If you want to feature some Japanese characters, themes and of course Mr.Fuji~!, then bring it on. Matches, promos, requests here. Just two more shows till Deadly Game, so how about some interaction between Jay, PRL and Blurri?

Thanks man. And good luck on the date~!

Why do you even bother posting in here when you don't watch TNA and just take all your opinions from what you read in the Torch or whatever? You'd think a busy and succesful journalist would have better uses of his time.

If you could do it Jay I'd appreciate it. A little low on content again eh...

Oh my God! You mean AMW have friends? Friends who try to help them out? Wow. Well I'll never enjoy an AMW match again. Thanks for that important information.

What do you expect? After something gets that amount of hype, its bound to be a little disappointing. Its still a good **** match. There are a hundred and one things in wrestling deserving hatred more than AMW.

In all my time playing Smackdown games, I've been DQ'd for attacking the ref only once, when I accidentally gave him a Buff Blockbuster. It's like one time in a million the game referee gets pissed with being beaten down so much.

I wish the season was longer than one year. But I had my biggest mark out moment yesterday- taking on Nash with my World Title on the line, he has me up for the Jacknife, but I counter to a DDT that busts him open and gets the 3 count~! If you want to cheat the game, go outside, whip your opponent into the guard rail and then running attack them so they flip on top of the rail. Then just keep punching them. They can't get down while you keep striking, so you can cause a lot of damage.

Ki Krusher~! And I really like this cradle DDT I saw someone do...can't remember who though.
