EDIT That was a little harsh of me. Bosh deserves to be there, but he shouldn't be starting ahead of O'Neal, and my mind can't be changed on that.

[i]Fix Up, Look Sharp[/i] plays, and Jamie O'Hara walks to the ring, getting a tremendous ovation. COLE And the X-title on the line at AnglePalooza, coming up next! Let's go to Michael Buffer! BUFFER [i]The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the OAOAST X-division championship! Introducing first, the challenger! He hails from Birmingham, England, and weighs in at 170 pounds...here is "THE BIRMINGHAM BAD BOY" JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!![/i] COLE And Jamie O'Hara made this challenge just this past Thursday on HeldDOWN, Coach! COACH A very unwise move, considering that he's also got to go through the Lethal Rumble match after getting beat here! O'Hara waits in the ring, as [i]Renagade[/i] hits and Reject comes down the aisle, to the boos of the crowd. BUFFER [i]His opponent, hailing from the Bronx, and weighing in at 235 pounds...he is the OAOAST X-division champion...RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREJECT!!!!![/i] Reject steps into the ring, and poses on the buckles, drawing more boos. He then hands his belt to the referee, who calls for the bell. *DING DING DING* Reject and O'Hara circle the ring, and tie up. Both men jockey for position, then break. COLE Should be a tremendous, fast-paced matchup here! They tie up again, this time with Reject executing an armdrag! Reject celebrates his feat, as the crowd boos. O'Hara gets back to his feet, and ties up once again. Both men go around in circles with the tieup, with Reject able to back O'Hara into a corner. Reject slowly releases the hold...then slaps O'Hara across the face! COACH Oh, here we go! O'Hara comes out at Reject, who grabs O'Hara in a side headlock. O'Hara shoves Reject off into a corner, but Reject grabs the ropes and jumps backwards, thinking O'Hara is going to run underneath. But instead, O'Hara stands behind, and when Reject turns around, returns the earlier slap! COLE Uh-oh! Reject holds his face, then charges, but gets caught in a drop toehold! Reject quickly gets to his feet, to be slapped again by O'Hara! This time Reject backs into his corner, as O'Hara waves him on. COLE And it's getting heated here early on! Reject slides to the outside to buy some time, as the crowd boos. Reject trash talks with some fans, then steps back into the ring. Reject and O'Hara tie up, and Reject backs O'Hara into the ropes. He backs off, and delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! Reject then whips O'Hara into the ropes, and attempts a hiptoss, but O'Hara spins through, and hooks him, delivering a snap suplex! COLE And a terrific counter by Jamie O'Hara! O'Hara hits Reject with a dropkick! Reject gets to his feet, and takes another dropkick, sending him over the top to the floor! COLE And O'Hara with the clear advantage! O'Hara runs to the corner, and springs himself over the top rope onto Reject! COACH Whoa! COLE Springboard bodypress to the outside onto Reject! O'Hara hammers Reject on the floor, then picks him up and delivers a European uppercut, followed by a kick to the side of the hip. He then tosses Reject back inside, and wrings his arm. He delivers a kick to the midsection, and wrings the arm once again. He delivers another kick, but Reject is able to use his free arm to push his head back, and back him into a corner. Reject gets free, and delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! COACH Geez! Reject whips O'Hara across, and O'Hara jumps to the second buckle, and fakes Reject out. Reject drops down, and O'Hara climbs to the top, and hits Reject with a flying bodypress! 1... 2... Kickout! O'Hara picks Reject up, and delivers a bulldog out of the corner! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! A snap suplex follows, and O'Hara goes to the top rope. COLE And Jamie O'Hara looking for the early finish here! O'Hara attempts the 450 KNEEDROP~!!!...but Reject rolls out of the way! COLE Nobody home, and now both men hurting! Reject slowly gets to his feet, and shakes the cobwebs off. He then hammers on the back of O'Hara. COACH And O'Hara, I think he may have hurt a knee on that one, Reject may not have noticed! O'Hara gets to his feet, amidst the pounding, and Reject grabs his leg and trips him to the mat. COLE Yes he did! Reject hooks a FIGURE-FOUR~! COLE Submission hold applied! Will O'Hara give up? COACH He may want to here, if he wants to be in good shape for the Rumble later! O'Hara struggles, screaming out in pain. He valiantly reaches for the ropes. COACH Reject knows everything in there, how could I underestimate him? O'Hara makes one last big reach, and grabs the bottom rope! The referee forces Reject to break the hold. Reject does, then grabs O'Hara in the corner again, and delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! COACH And those chops of Reject are really being laid in tonight! Reject whips O'Hara across, but O'Hara gets out of the way of Reject's charge, then rolls him up! 1... 2... Kickout! Reject goes for a spin kick, but O'Hara ducks, then gives Reject a kick to the midsection. He goes for a whip, but Reject reverses. O'Hara comes out, and executes a CRUCIFIX~! 1... 2... Kickout! O'Hara hops to the second rope, looking to deliver OH, SNAP~! COLE Could be that Blockbuster of his! COACH Oh, SNAP~! O'Hara comes off, but Reject ducks and avoids the move...then grabs O'Hara, and delivers the EULOGY~!!!!!11111 COLE He got it! The Eulogy from Reject! Cover... 1... 2... O'Hara gets a foot on the rope... 3!!! COACH He got him! COLE Wait a minute, O'Hara's foot was on the rope! The referee hands Reject the belt, as O'Hara complains to the referee from the mat. BUFFER [i]The winner of the match, and STILL OAOAST X-division champion...[/i] Buffer is cut off, as another referee slides into the ring, and supports O'Hara's argument, explaining to the official referee that O'Hara's foot was on the bottom rope. The referees then confer with Buffer. BUFFER [i]Ladies and gentlemen, the second official has informed me that Jamie O'Hara did get his foot on the rope during the count![/i] *crowd cheers* BUFFER [i]Therefore, this match for the X-title will CONTINUE~![/i] *crowd cheers* Reject is highly upset, complaining to the referees. He attacks O'Hara from behind, as the match resumes. COLE So the match continues! COACH That's not right! Reject got the pinfall! The referee raised his hand! Reject stomps away at O'Hara on the mat, then picks him up. He carries him over to a corner, and attempts to ram his head into a buckle...but O'Hara blocks! COLE And Jamie O'Hara not done yet! O'Hara blocks a second time, then rams Reject's head into the buckle! Then continues, as the crowd counts along! 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! 4!!! 5!!! 6!!! 7!!! 8!!! 9!!! 10!!! Reject slumps in the corner, as O'Hara turns him around, then climbs to the second buckle, and the crowd counts again as he lays in punches! 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! 4!!! 5!!! 6!!! 7!!! 8!!! 9!!! 10!!! O'Hara calls out to the crowd, which cheers him on in response. He then sets up an Irish whip, but Reject blocks, then brings him back into the same corner, where the referee stands, as the two collide! COLE Oh, and down goes the referee! All three men are down, in fact, as the crowd chants for Jamie. COLE And you hear the chants of "Jamie" going through the Dunkin' Donuts Center! Reject rolls over, and gets to his knees. He leans on the ropes for a few seconds, then pulls himself up. He picks up O'Hara, and executes a fisherman's buster! COACH And Reject's setting him up now! If that idiot referee comes around, we can put this one to bed with no controversy! Reject next drags O'Hara over to the ropes, backs to the other side, and hits him with the ROLLING THUNDER~! Reject gets to his feet and plays to the crowd, drawing boos. COLE And things looking very good for Reject, but he's got to save some for the Rumble, as well! Reject slams O'Hara in the middle of the ring, then goes to the top rope. COACH This is it, right here! Reject comes off with the MACHO MAN ELBOW~! He covers, but still no referee, so he counts a fall himself. COACH See? That's twice he's pinned Jamie O'Hara tonight! COLE That doesn't count! Reject slides out of the ring, and grabs the X-title belt. COLE And now Reject with the X-title belt, so much for winning without controversy! COACH Hey, when it comes down to it, you gotta win any way you can! Reject slides in, and waits for O'Hara to get up. However, the referee is getting up as well, sees Reject with the belt, and tries to grab it from him! COLE And now the referee is back... O'Hara gets to his feet, and tackles Reject from behind, right into the referee! He then grabs the belt off the mat, and clocks Reject! COACH OH NO! COLE And Reject is out of it! O'Hara covers, as the other referee comes back out to the ring... 1... 2... Reject puts a foot on the rope... 3!!! *DING DING DING* COLE And we've got a NEW champion! COACH You can't be serious, Cole! Reject's foot was on the rope, just like O'Hara's was! BUFFER [i]The winner of the match...and NEW OAOAST X-division champion...JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO'HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!![/i] COACH This is ridiculous, Cole! COLE Jamie O'Hara has just won his first singles title in the OAOAST! Reject is going crazy in the ring, as O'Hara makes his way to the back, cradling the belt in his arms as tears well up in his eyes. COLE An emotional moment for Jamie O'Hara, he is the NEW X-division champion! Back to the ring, Reject is still explaining to both referees that his foot was on the ropes. COLE And a tough break for Reject, as he was able to get his foot on the rope, like Jamie O'Hara did earlier in the match, however, the referees didn't spot it in this case! I'm sure we'll be hearing more on this issue, but as it currently stands, Reject is no longer the X-champion, that honor now belongs to Jamie O'Hara! Let's go to...

The camera cuts to the Lethal Rumble tumbler room. Vitamin X walks into the room, where "After Hours" Felix Strutter is already at. The crowd boos. VITAMIN X All right! I'm here! Now we can get things going! X stands next to Felix. Strutter just looks at him and sneers. VX Nice to meet you too! You're Canadian, right? Shouldn't you be cutting some trees or making maple syrup instead of being here at Anglepalooza? HA! HA! STRUTTER Yeah, let's go. I got a nice, little red-haired honey waiting for some After Hour delight. VX All right, let's do this! STRUTTER (holds his hand out) Say, where is your woman, anyway? (smiles) Vitamin X steps over to get in Strutter's face, with a half-smirk. VX I hope that was a joke. WATTS Just draw the numbers, please. VX turns the tumbler around and around for a few seconds. He has a smirk on his face the entire time. VX stops turning the tumbler. VX (to Felix) Now watch this! X opens the little opening and puts his left hand inside. He pulls out a plastic ball. X opens the plastic ball, and then pulls out the piece of paper inside of it. He unfolds the piece of paper and reads it. X smiles. VX HA HA! YES! BOO-YAH~! Today is a good day for me! X turns his attention to Strutter. VX Good luck, FELIX! Heh, Felix. Seriously, THAT'S your name!? Really? I mean, I know that Canadians are ass backwards compared to Americans, but man, I didn't know you guys had such lame names too! Well, who knows, maybe you'll become OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion at AngleMania VI! Just think, OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion...FELIX Strutter! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Keep dreaming, bud! See you in the Lethal Rumble Match! X slaps Felix's right shoulder. STRUTTER Yeah, I'll see you there, "Prince Vitamin". Make fun of my name, but at least my father wasn't named after a breakfast cereal. VX (In Strutter's face again) You take that back! WATTS Draw the number, Felix! Felix draws his number, and sighs. STRUTTER (deep breath) Looks like I'm in for a long night...in [i]and[/i] out of the ring, haha! Strutter walks away as VX looks on angrily.

Back to the Rookie/Sophomore game for a minute: Wow. I didn't realize until I was just looking through numbers what a deep draft class 2005 has ended up being. There's going to be a lot of Sophs having solid seasons left off that team. Chris Paul David Lee Deron Williams Andrew Bogut Raymond Felton Sean May Monta Ellis Jarrett Jack Ryan Gomes Danny Granger Andrew Bynum Hakim Warrick Luther Head Channing Frye Marvin Williams That's the top 15 ordered by efficiency ranking, not including Charlie Villanueva since he'll probably still be out due to injury. And they usually only take 9 to a team for this game.

This will be the first number-drawing segment, presuming there are more than this one. Cut backstage, where Bill Watts stands at the tumbler. WATTS We ready to get this thing started? (to someone off-camera) All right, then. Come on in, boys! Reject walks onto the screen from the left side, and Alfdogg from the right. The two exchange looks at each other, as the crowd boos. ALF With all due respect, Mr. Watts, I only see one "boy" standing here. (looks at Reject) REJECT (laughs) Well, it's no problem. Come the Rumble, I'll make a man out of you soon enough. *crowd buzzes* WATTS OK, you two have been chosen as the first two to choose your numbers. Good luck! ALF You first. You can have your draw of any number...but it won't matter in the end. Reject picks his ball out, and opens it, taking a look at his number. He cracks a big smile. REJECT Oh, I think it does matter. ALF Well, we'll see. Meanwhile, let me show you how a man does it. Alf reaches into the tumbler and grabs a ball, then opens it and grabs the paper. ALF You ready? Reject nods, while still smiling. ALF (opens the paper) Read it, and weep! Reject nods sarcastically, as Alf turns and looks at his number. Alf's jaw drops, shocked, as the crowd cheers. REJECT (laughing) Believe me, Alf...I'm weeping inside. *crowd cheers* REJECT (slaps Alf on the back) Good luck! Alf crumbles up his number, then watches Reject leave the room. Alf starts to say something to Watts, but stops, and simply leaves the room in a huff.

[i]Renagade[/i] hits, and the arena fills with boos as Reject makes his way out, followed by the Burrough Boys...who are all carrying violins. Reject is adorned in a pinstriped Yankees jersey. COLE And Reject not endearing himself to the fans here in Boston! COACH Hey, he's just supporting his hometown Bronx Bombers! Reject walks around the ring and grabs a microphone, then steps into the ring. The Burrough Boys all grab chairs and take them into the ring. COLE And what's with the violins? COACH Maybe we're gonna get a little musical number here! COLE Now THIS I gotta see. The Burrough Boys set their chairs in each corner of the ring, as the music dies down. REJECT You know, as I came in tonight, wearing my beloved pinstripes... *crowd boos* REJECT Someone stopped me, and informed me that I shouldn't be so disrespectful. He told me that it was a slap in the face wearing these pinstripes right here, in front of Red Sox nation. So I thought about it, and I said "you know what? He's right." *crowd gives a mixed reaction, sensing something is going on.* REJECT I shouldn't be wearing this jersey here in this building. So right now, I'm going to take it off. *crowd cheers* Reject sets the mic on the mat, then turns his back to the TV camera as he unbuttons his jersey. He lets part of the jersey slip off his back...far enough to reveal a blue jersey, with "MANNING" in white letters. The crowd immediately boos their asses off. COLE Oh, for God's sake. Reject takes the jersey the rest of the way off, revealing, of course, the jersey of Peyton Manning. COACH That's AWESOME! Get 'em, Reject! COLE Why don't you SHOW SOME RESPECT for the New Englanders! REJECT Because you see, the Lethal Rumble match is coming up, and I need good mojo leading into this Sunday! Because this Sunday, I head out there with 29 other guys, for a shot at the main event at AngleMania. And those guys are gonna feel like 29 Reche Caldwells, because they'll be seeing THEIR opportunities slip RIGHT THROUGH THEIR FINGERS. *crowd boos* COLE And Reject really piling it on here! REJECT But before all that, I've decided to come out here and cheer you Bostonians up! COLE Yeah, you've done a real bang-up job so far! REJECT You see, my boys have been practicing their violin skills, and we thought we'd play you a little tune, just to ease the pain. So let's tune up the band, boys! The Burrough Boys start playing their violins (horribly, of course), then Waldo grabs the mic from Reject. WALDO They didn't even give me a pick for this thing! LUTHER You don't play it wit' a pick, stupid! Luther slaps Waldo in the back of his head, and Waldo swipes at Luther while trying to keep his hat on. As they go back to their chairs though... "OOOOOOOOIIIIIIII!" The bad boi beatz (or something) of Dizzee Rascal interrupt the recital, as JAMIE O'HARA swaggers out with a fourty ounce of beer and a microphone in each hand. Reject folds his arms and shakes his head, while The Burrough Boys look pissed that their practise has been for nothing. O'HARA OI! "OI!" shouts back the crowd. COACH Oh God, please don't let that get over. O'HARA Listen, I don't know nothin' 'bout no Yankee Football... Some of the crowd boo, others more understanding about the cultural ignorance. O'HARA ...but wot I does know is dat this shit is straight whack yo! Confused, Reject asks his more street-wise allies what the hell was just said. O'HARA Ya'll out here, tryin'a make big boy noise wit' ya big boy toys? It ain't happenin'. It ain't goin' down like that! Alls you wankers just be pissin' everybody off. So, I suggest ya'll quit witcha New York Bitch-phony Orchesta crap before mah drunk arse steps down this aisle an' shoves them instruments where the sun don't shine! "YYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" Reject doesn't need to spend three weeks on a council estate in West London to understand what was said that time though, pointing a finger up the ramp at Jamie and warning him to watch his mouth. Jamie just takes a swig of his beer. O'HARA Just so ya'll know, that Lethal Rumble is gonna be all about the J-OH! An' ain't no so-called 'champ' gonna stop me from throwin' down and throwin' out! REJECT Hang on a minute here. First off, for the sake of soccer's ... *sniggers* ... credibility, I sure hope David Beckham was educated privately. Because if this is what public education in England produces, it's no wonder that's the most popular sport amongst your kind. O'HARA OI! "OI!" COACH Aw damn it. O'HARA Wot you sayin' about mah boi Becks? Ya'll don't know Becks, don't be 'atin'! You better shut that big arse gob o'yours before I go straight soccer 'ooligan on your Yank arses! REJECT Woah woah, calm down there, 'G'. What's your problem exactly, besides your obvious speech impediment and an addiction to crack meth. O'HARA Right now, you are mate! If you wanna come out 'ere an' wave ya dick around, actin' the 'ard nut, how's about you try it with The Birmingham Bad Boy!? How's about you put that bling 'round ya waist on the line on Sunday night? Wot!? Wot!? Reject wipes the smirk from his face. REJECT Wait... so, you're challenging me to a match at AnglePalooza? For my X-Division Title? O'HARA Yeh. Why, ain't you got no balls? "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Another smirk threatens to creep over Reject's face. But the scowl keeps it at bay. REJECT If you really want to surrender your shot in the Rumble by challenging me, who am I to say no? You're ON! O'Hara opens up his arms and encourages Reject to 'bring it on' right now, but Reject just smiles. REJECT I'll see you at AnglePalooza. And hey, if there's anything left of you, maybe I'll see you in the Rumble too. O'HARA Not if I see ya first, prick! And with that "Fix Up, Look Sharp" hits again and O'Hara leaves, chugging down some more of his 40oz. Reject looks stunned more than anything, The Burrough Boys talking amongst themselves as Reject looks down at the X-Division Title. COLE Another big match made for AnglePalooza! Jamie O'Hara versus Reject, for the OAOAST X-Division Title. Should be a dandy! COACH A dandy? We really need to find that thesaurus.

If the And1 guys were good enough to pose a threat to a team of NBA players, they'd probably already be in the NBA in the first place, like Alston. I doubt they could even hang with an above average college team.

[i]Fuel[/i] by Metallica hits, and John "Rock Hard" Brickston runs to the ring. COLE #16, John "Rock Hard" Brickston! Brickston slides in, but is cut off by PRL. COLE And PRL right there to meet his former protege! PRL briefly stomps away at Brickston, then picks him up and whips him into the ropes. Brickston hops over PRL as he drops down, then runs over him with a clothesline! COACH Big clothesline! Heat floors Alf with a dropkick, then backs off Brickston, and gathers Fly and Cappa, as they join arms. COACH What are they setting up here?

COLE Sixteen men have entered, and half of them have hit the showers, eight men in there now! Faqu whips Cappa across the ring, and Cappa hops to the second rope, and does a backflip. Faqu ducks as Cappa flies over him and lands on his feet, then hits Faqu with a dropkick, sending him into the ropes.

COLE It's Jay Richards! We haven't seen him in a LONG time! Richards plays to the crowd for a bit at the entryway, then runs down the aisle and slides into the ring.

COACH And looking pretty sharp in there early on, Cole! However, Faqu grabs him from behind and delivers a headbutt, sending him down to the mat! Faqu then lays Richards across the ropes, and plants a foot, choking him on the bottom strand. Brickston attempts a bodyslam on Alf, who slips behind the back and floors him with a SUPERKICK~! COLE And a nice kick right there from Alf! Felix Strutter then picks up Brickston, sets him up, and plants him with the THUNDER BAY THROTTLE~!!!111 COACH And Felix puts the cherry on the sundae!

COACH But all it takes is one move, Cole, and everything turns around! PRL catches Alf with a spinning wheel kick! He then picks Alf up and sets up a suplex! COLE And Alf being set up here... PRL lifts Alf, and executes a suplex! He rolls through, and delivers a second! He then holds on the third, doing the "You Can't See Me!" gesture with his free hand, before bouncing Alf off the ropes and completing the third suplex! PRL then applauds himself. COLE And the Corporate Trifecta for Alf, who has been out there nearly 38 minutes! Fly dropkicks Richards, sending him through the ropes to the floor! COACH Jay went between the ropes, so he's not eliminated! Fly does a baseball slide to the apron, then springs to the second rope, and does a MOONSAULT to the floor on Richards! COLE And action spilling out to the floor here in the Lethal Rumble match, as we're about to add another! Fly hammers on Richards, then tosses him back inside as the count begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!!

Pacers win 96-94 in OT after trailing by as many as 20 points in the 3rd quarter. Big fourth quarters from Armstrong, Daniels, and Granger, and Murphy had 17 & 12. Shaq played 14 minutes and had 5 points and 5 rebounds. He didn't look too sharp, to put it kindly, but that would be expected after so much time off. Jason Kapono is a hell of a shooter.

Shaq is back in the lineup tonight against the Pacers.

As you see, Zack has posted a new thread for specs, so let's please try to get all the specs in the same thread this year. I don't mean to sound rude, I just don't like sifting through 3 or 4 pages of specs if I'm doing a multi-man match. Even if you just C&P your old ones into the thread, I don't care as long as they're all in the same place.

The Bulls aren't getting a pick from the Knicks, they just have the right to swap. If they included that pick, it would then presumably be the Grizzlies' right to swap, and they'll end up with a better pick than the Knicks anyway. If Deng gets traded, I think Nocioni/Sefolosha/Griffin is good enough to get them by at the 3. Like Roy said, Thomas is the deal-breaker.

Also, I'd like to get some of the Bulls fans' thoughts on possibly getting Gasol. You get your offensive weapon down low that you've been looking for, are you interested/what would you give up for him? I've heard Luol Deng mentioned in pretty much every scenario from the "dirt sheets".

The "Star Wars" disco theme plays, and It walks to the ring, as the fans stand mystified. COLE And It's on his way to the ring! COACH What is? COLE It is! COACH WHAT??? COLE It, one of the newest OAOAST superstars! This is a very mysterious individual, folks! It slowly climbs into the ring, as Felix Strutter looks on confused. It delivers a kick to the gut, then whips Strutter to the ropes. It backs in the opposite way, and catches Strutter with a flying back elbow! COACH Well, whatever It is, It just gave a nice elbow to Felix Strutter! It goes for a cover, which prompts a referee to lean inside and wave it off, explaining to It the elimination process. COLE And It going for a cover, I think this match may be a little new to him! It gets up, then grabs Strutter and tries to dump him over the top, but Strutter escapes. Alf attacks It from behind, then he and Strutter whip It to the ropes. It ducks a clothesline, then is able to simultaneously hook Strutter in a headscissors and Alf in a headlock, and falls forward, taking them both over to the mat! COACH Wow! COLE And It with a great counter right there! Wright comes at It, but gets caught with a foot to the gut. It whips Wright to the ropes, and catches him with a backdrop! Meanwhile, Heat and Fly grab Alf and try to put him over the ropes! COLE And Alf in trouble once again! Heat stays on Alf, while Fly goes over to Kawada and delivers some kicks. Black has Strutter close to elimination in a corner, but Alf goes to the eyes of Heat and slides back in, then knees Black in the back. COACH See, if Fly would have stayed there and helped his partner, Alf could be eliminated right now! COLE Oh, stop, these guys have been working well together in this match! Alf and Strutter then combine to lift Black over the top! COLE And now it's Dan Black teetering on elimination! However, Black is able to hang on and slide in under the bottom rope. Alf and Strutter begin to stomp Black, until Heat helps out, attacking Strutter from behind. Heat delivers a snap suplex to Strutter, while Kawada has taken advantage on Fly, and is threatening elimination! COACH Here goes Fly! Heat gets to his feet, and delivers a shot to the gut of Kawada, allowing Fly to come back in! COLE And Heat there to help his partner, as we're ready for another entry! 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! LIGHTNING CREW! The crowd starts to boo as [i]No Chance in Hell[/i] plays and the Cuban Wall runs out to the ring. COLE And the heavy hitters starting to come out, here's the Cuban Wall! Wall slides in and goes after Colombian Heat. COACH It's starting to get crowded in there now, Cole! COLE Nine men in the ring, three have been eliminated, Scotty Static of the GPX, James Riggs, as well as El Espirito! Wall picks up Heat and delivers a side slam, then comes from behind and hammers away on Kawada. Kawada turns into Wall, then starts firing back. COACH Some big time hits being exchanged in there right now! Wall delivers a knee to the gut of Kawada, then whips him into the ropes. Kawada ducks a boot, and floors Wall with a Dynamite Kid-style clothesline! COLE And a BIG clothesline from Kawada! It runs to the ropes, and does a flip splash on Wall, immediately followed by a backflip splash! Black then delivers a European uppercut to It, as Alf attacks Kawada from behind. Christian Wright hammers away on Heat in a corner, while Fly and Strutter go at it. COLE And now we've all paired off, as Wall gathers his senses on the mat! As Wall gets to his feet, everyone sets up Irish whips in a corner, and Alf, Strutter, Wright, and It are all whipped mid-ring into Wall as the crowd goes crazy! The faces play to the crowd as the five men all fall to the mat. COLE And the crowd loved that one! Heat and Fly grab Christian Wright and attempt to dump him over the ropes, while Kawada goes back to pounding Alf. Black hammers away on Strutter, while It and Wall continue to gather their senses. It goes over to Black and hammers him from behind, then starts going to work on Strutter himself. As Wright is able to escape elimination, It has Strutter on the ropes as the count begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! THE CHAMP IS HERE!!! COACH OH YEAH! As [i]Know Your Role 99[/i] plays, PRL runs to the ring. COLE Will 13 be PRL's lucky number, in getting him to AngleMania and finally winning the World title? As It continues his attempt to eliminate Strutter, PRL slides in and dumps him to the floor! COLE And PRL has eliminated It! COACH Wh... COLE Don't start. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4th elimination: It time in ring: 4:13 eliminated: none eliminated by: Tha Puerto Rican left in ring: Alfdogg, Dan Black, Felix Strutter, Colombian Heat, Spanish Fly, Kenji Kawada, Christian Wright, Cuban Wall, Tha Puerto Rican ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It attempts to slide back into the ring, but the referees hold him back. COLE And It trying to get back inside, again, once you hit the floor, you're eliminated! Dan Black hammers away on Christian Wright in a corner, then goes over to give Felix Strutter a couple shots. Wright comes out of the corner and tries to bring himself up using the ropes. As he is doing this, Black looks over at him, then charges...but Wright ducks down and backdrops him to the floor! COLE And Dan Black now eliminated! A great effort having been in since the start of the match, but one half of Black T now eliminated! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 5th elimination: Dan Black time in ring: 22:37 eliminated: El Espirito eliminated by: Christian Wright left in ring: Alfdogg, Felix Strutter, Colombian Heat, Spanish Fly, Kenji Kawada, Christian Wright, Cuban Wall, Tha Puerto Rican ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cuban Wall charges at Kawada with a big boot, but Kawada ducks and Wall straddles himself on the top rope!

COLE The number of combatants cut in half in a span of about 60 seconds! Alf and Strutter get in a corner, as do Heat and Fly, while PRL stands off alone. Slowly, everyone spreads out, and Fly goes after PRL, while Alf and Strutter both jump Heat. COACH This one a little easier to call now! Alf and Strutter lift Heat over the ropes, and PRL momentarily comes over to help. Fly shortly follows, and grabs Heat's leg, trying to keep him in, while simultaneously trying to scoop Strutter over. COLE And these five men fighting it out in a bunch, all competing for the same prize, a shot at the World title at AngleMania, and we're about to add a sixth! Can Alfdogg become the first three-time OAOAST World champion? Will PRL finally get over the hump, and win the title for the first time? 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Spirit in the Sky[/i] hits, and Faqu walks to the ring to a nice ovation. COLE Or can this man do the unprecedented, and become a double World champion? It's the HI-YAH champion Faqu at #14! COACH And this guy wrestles very similar to Kenji Kawada, who we saw earlier, very hard-hitting style! Faqu slides in, and delivers a big forearm blow to the back of PRL. He then drags him to mid-ring, and floors him with a big headbutt! COLE And PRL finding that out first-hand right now! Alf goes over to Faqu, and takes a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~!!! Faqu then delivers a double chop to the collarbone area, before whipping Alf to the ropes and catching him with a powerslam! COLE And these two men had a very exciting match months back, that saw Faqu win via disqualification! Strutter jumps on the back of Faqu and hooks a sleeperhold, as PRL delivers rapid-fire shots to the gut. Faqu goes to his knees, and Strutter and PRL immediately stomp away. COACH And that's what you need against Faqu, help! 1-on-1 ain't gonna get it done! Strutter and PRL pick up Faqu, and team up to deliver a double suplex! Alf then gets to his feet, and grabs Faqu's legs, hooking him in the SHARPSHOOTER~!!! COLE Alf with the Sharpshooter hooked on Faqu! Faqu grabs his hair as Alf cinches back on the hold, but Fly comes to the rescue with a dropkick from behind! COLE And Fly assists Faqu in breaking the hold! Strutter delivers a foot to the gut of Fly, and attempts a DDT, but Fly counters with a backdrop. PRL then catches Fly from behind with a Back Cracker~! COLE Tremendous move that time by PRL! As Faqu tries to get to his feet, Alf chokes him on the ropes. Heat and PRL go at each other in a corner, and Alf breaks his hold on Faqu to join in the frey as the count begins: 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Breathe[/i] by Fabolous hits and The Mad Cappa runs to the ring. COLE We're at the midway point with the Mad Cappa! Alf and Heat separate from PRL as Cappa slides in, and immediately tackles him to the mat! COLE And a long-standing rivalry between these two men! PRL and Cappa roll around on the mat, then get to their feet, where they exchange punches. Cappa gets the better of the exchange, then whips PRL into the ropes, catching him with a flying back elbow! COLE And the fans loving the PRL-Cappa showdown! Cappa then attempts to dump PRL! COACH Hang on, PR! PRL struggles breifly, then goes to the eyes. PRL then goes for a clothesline, which Cappa ducks, then sets a foot to the gut, to set up the BUST A CAP~!!!111 However, PRL pushes Cappa off into the ropes, and catches him with the LATIN SLAM~!!! COACH What action! PRL groggily gets up, then walks right into a thrust kick from Faqu! COLE And what a kick from Faqu! COACH I hope PR's orthodontist bills are caught up! Alf lifts Fly onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry, and attempts to dump him. COLE We've reached the halfway point of the match, 15 have entered, and the #1 man, Alfdogg, still remains!

Alf rakes the eyes of Heat and Fly, then delivers a low blow to Faqu, allowing Strutter to slide back in as the count begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!!

[i]Gasolina[/i] by Daddy Yankee plays, and Colombian Heat gets a nice ovation as he makes his way to the ring. COLE And Colombian Heat is #6! Heat slides into the ring and goes after Strutter, delivering big rights, then a clothesline sending Strutter down to the mat! Heat then bounces off the ropes and floors Riggs with a clothesline, then does the same to Alf! Heat then jumps on a buckle and does the "W" hand signal! COLE And Heat comes out blazin! COACH Oh, that's very cute. Heat drags James Riggs into a corner and starts hammering away, as Scotty Static goes to work on Alf. Strutter rakes Heat's eyes from behind, and delivers a backbreaker. Strutter then goes up to the top rope. COACH I don't know how smart this is on the part of Felix! As Strutter gets to the top rope, Heat gets to his feet and shakes the ropes, causing Strutter to fall crotch-first onto the corner! COLE Not smart at all! Heat yells for Black as he climbs the buckles, and Black lays off of Riggs long enough to scoop Heat onto his shoulders. COACH Oh my God... Black assists Heat in delivering a STACKED-UP SUPERPLEX to Felix Strutter! COLE And Strutter goes crashing into the canvas, after that devastating double-team superplex! A faint HO-LY SHIT~! chant can be heard from the crowd, as the move took a lot out of both Heat and Strutter, who lay prone on the mat. COACH What a move that was, Cole! Black gets to his feet and grabs Riggs by the head, and brings him over to Scotty, who has Alf's head, and the heads are rammed together! COLE And the old double noggin-knocker! Suddenly, Scotty grabs Black from behind and pitches him over the top rope! COACH Oh, look here! Black hangs on and jumps back in, then gets to his feet and approaches at Scotty, then the two exchange shoves before tying up. Black grabs Scotty in a side headlock and takes him down to the mat, then Scotty reaches up and grabs a headscissors. COLE And a nice, clean wrestling exhibition going on here! Black turns to his feet, and flips over on top of Scotty. Scotty lays on the mat for a second, then bridges up, and turns over. He releases the waistlock and grabs a side headlock. Black pushes him off into the ropes, then backs in himself. Scotty ducks a clothesline, and both men clothesline each other mid-ring! The crowd applauds politely as both men lay on the mat. COLE And a nice show of respect from the crowd in Providence! Heat catches Alf out of nowhere with a spinning wheel kick, as the countdown begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! The "Halloween" theme plays. COACH OMG, IT'S THE SAMOAN SWAT TEAM~!!! Actually, El Espirito makes his way out. COLE No, it's not! It's El Espirito at #7! COACH Well, EXCUSE ME, Princess. Espirito slides in, and attacks Heat from behind. Heat fires back, and the two move like greased lightning across the ring, a sequence ending in Espirito delivering a flying spinning front kick into Heat's chest, drawing oohs and ahhs from the crowd! COACH Look at the speed of these guys! COLE Very impressive stuff from El Espirito! Black approaches Espirito next, and receives some rapid-fire kicks to the legs. As Espirito kicks away in the corner, Scotty lifts Alf in a bodyslam to set him up for elimination! COLE And Alf in trouble again! However, James Riggs is measuring, and levels Scotty from behind with the ROLLING KOPPOU~!!!111, sending Scotty tumbling over the top of Alf and down to the floor! COACH Whoa, we got one! COLE It's Scotty Static out on the floor, the first elimination of the night! What a shot from Riggs! Scotty holds the back of his head on the floor as the referee checks on him. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1st elimination: Scotty Static Time in ring: 6:42 eliminated: none eliminated by: James Riggs Left in ring: Alfdogg, Dan Black, James Riggs, Felix Strutter, Colombian Heat, El Espirito ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ COACH So seven guys in, we've got our first elimination. Riggs plays to the crowd, which boos him in response. COLE And a lot of confidence in James Riggs at the moment! Alf applauds Riggs while sitting on the mat, then holds up his hand, and Riggs slaps him five. Alf holds out two thumbs up to him, as Riggs heads over to Black. COLE And Alf trying to catch his breath, he's in for a long night, as is Dan Black, as are all of these men! Riggs delivers a backbreaker to Black, then sets him up on the ropes. As soon as he does, Alf pops up from his spot in the corner, rushes over, and dumps Riggs to the floor from behind! COLE Oh, and Riggs eliminated now, what a setup! There wasn't a damn thing wrong with Alf! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2nd elimination: James Riggs time in ring: 9:24 eliminated: Scotty Static eliminated by: Alfdogg Left in ring: Alfdogg, Dan Black, Felix Strutter, Colombian Heat, El Espirito ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alf laughs at Riggs on the floor, as Riggs and Staci are up in arms. Staci begins to scream at Alf, and Alf responds with the "back off" gesture (where you hold your hand with your palm facing down, and move your four fingers up and down), at which point Staci immediately stops screaming, and starts stomping up and down on the floor before Riggs finally escorts her to the back. COLE And Staci is hot, in more ways than one! Looks like page 45's going to have to wait for another night. COACH Well, tough break for James, but he put his trust in the wrong guy right there! Heat brings Strutter over, and grabs Alf's head from behind, ramming them together, as the countdown begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Krokodilamadurinn[/i] plays, and Spanish Fly runs to the ring. COLE And it's Spanish Fly coming in at #8! So another group of good friends in there now! COACH Ah, I don't know about that, Cole! You saw what happened in the tag match earlier tonight! As Black hammers on Strutter in a corner, Fly slides in and is met by El Espirito. More running across the ring ensues, and Fly is able to land a flying chop! COLE Incredible speed being shown here by Espirito and the Fly! Alf hammers on Heat in a corner, then whips him across. Heat springs over the top of Alf, then turns around...and at the same time, Espirito ducks a Fly dropkick, causing Heat to take it! COACH See? What did I tell you, Cole? COLE Oh, stop! That was an accident! Heat questions Fly's motives, as Fly tries to plead his case. Eventually, Fly turns back to Espirito, at which point Alf shoves Heat from behind right into Fly! Heat turns back and approaches Alf as Alf "begs off", and Fly spins Heat around and decks him with a right hand! COACH Look at that, Cole! They hate each other, I'm telling you! COLE Oh, please, Alf shoved Heat right into Fly on purpose! He knew what he was doing! Fly attempts an Irish whip on Heat, which Heat reverses, and attempts a tilt-a-whirl on Fly, but Fly lands on his feet, then hooks his legs around Heat's waist, pushes himself up with his hands, and catches Heat with a BULLDOG~! COLE And a nice bulldog by Fly on his tag team partner, Colombian Heat! COACH Maybe not after tonight! Fly then picks up Heat and tries to dump him over, but Heat struggles free and shoves Fly to the mat. Fly gets up, and the two get in each other's face and start talking to one another. Strutter grabs Fly from behind, and tries to dump him, but Heat immediately puts a stop to that. COACH Now why would he save the guy after he tried to eliminate him? COLE I think deep down, these guys are still friends. The competition's just getting the better of them out here! Heat pulls Fly back in, and calms him down, and the partners share a high ten, then go to work on Alf. COACH Oh, come on! COLE Time for #9! 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Smells Like Teen Spirit[/i] hits, and Kenji Kawada gets a nice ovation as he walks to the ring. COLE And Kenji Kawada in no hurry, taking his time, smart! Kawada climbs in slowly, and delivers some STIFF~! blows to Felix Strutter. COACH Oh, man! This guy's a hard hitter! Kawada goes after Espirito next, delivering a couple forearms to the back, then hooking him from behind and delivering a release German suplex! COLE And Espirito folded up like an accordion! Dan Black then easily picks up Espirito, and pitches him over the top to the floor! COLE And Espirito is gone! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3rd elimination: El Espirito time in ring: 4:37 eliminated: none eliminated by: Dan Black Left in ring: Alfdogg, Dan Black, Felix Strutter, Colombian Heat, Spanish Fly, Kenji Kawada ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alf and Strutter are double-teaming Heat, as Fly helps out, going to the eyes of Strutter. Meanwhile, Kawada has turned his attention to Black. COACH Black's taken some tremendous shots already, it won't get any easier from here! Kawada delivers hard shots to Black in the corner, as Alf and Strutter deliver a double back suplex to Heat, then Strutter and Fly go at it as Alf jumps Kawada from behind. Alf delivers shots to the back, then whips him into the ropes. Kawada reverses, then catches Alf with a HARD back elbow! COLE Oh, and Alf goes down in a heap! COACH He might want to check his teeth after that one! Kawada picks up Alf, and sets up a powerbomb. Alf slips free in front, then quickly grabs Kawada and delivers a snap suplex! Strutter comes over to help Alf as the count begins again... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!! [i]Tear Away[/i] plays, and Christian Wright is soaked in boos as he makes his way out. COACH All right! COLE It's the Moral Highground, Christian Wright! Wright jogs down, and slides in, going after Colombian Heat, choking him in the ropes as he was trying to get up. Fly comes to the aid of his partner, but Wright saw it coming, delivering a back elbow to Fly. Wright poses, then catches a BIG clothesline from Kawada! COLE And Wright picked the wrong time to pose right there! COACH Absolutely, you can't have your back turned on Kawada! Kawada takes Wright into a corner, while Alf and Strutter once again attempt to dump Black. COLE Black in trouble again! Heat and Fly come over for the save, as Heat pairs off with Strutter and Fly with Alf. Irish whips, and Alf and Strutter are sent into each other! Kawada then delivers a big double clothesline! COLE And another big blow from Kawada! Black then jumps Kawada from behind, before going after Wright. Black delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And a third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Wright thumbs Black in the eye, then spins him around and delivers a CHOP~! of his own! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! And a third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Wright then delivers a belly-to-belly! Kawada picks his spots in the corner, as Heat and Strutter duke it out, as do Alf and Spanish Fly. Kawada eventually decides to cound away on Alf, as the count begins... 10!!! 9!!! 8!!! 7!!! 6!!! 5!!! 4!!! 3!!! 2!!! 1!!! BUZZ~!!!

Josh Smith was fined $25,000 for flipping the bird to the fans in Charlotte. The original article posted on Yahoo was titled "Atlanta's Smith fined $25".

Actually I was referring to Cartman's knee-slapper up there. I shouldn't have been so general, I guess.
