*Overhead camera shot of Wembley Arena is shown.*
TONY SCHIAVONE
They are packed to capacity here in Wembley Arena, London, England, ready for the European Regional final! The winner will compete in the bright lights at AngleSlam, August 27!
*Camera cuts inside to Tony and Jesse.*
TONY
Hi, I'm Tony Schiavone here with Jesse "The Body" Ventura, we'll be calling the action here in London, and Jesse, the home heroes from here in England may have been eliminated, but this place is still jumping!
JESSE
That's right, Tony Schiavone, the hated French team put away the top-seeded Brits nine days ago over in Manchester, and most of this crowd is hoping that the Jamaicans, the Cinderella story of the World Cup, can avenge that for them! They've had a nice run...but I think the clock will strike midnight for them tonight, Tony Schiavone, that's my prediction!
TONY
It all remains to be seen, and as you mentioned, a lot of support for the Jamaicans here tonight!
*Camera cuts to fans holding a Jamaican flag in the crowd, and various fans with the flag painted on their faces.*
TONY
Right now, let's go up to our ring announcer!
Master Blaster (Jammin') hits, and the crowd goes NUTS as the Jamaicans come through the curtains.
ANNOUNCER
The following is the European Regional Final, of the Tag Team Woorld Cup tournament! It is scheduled for one fall, with a one hour time limit! Introducing the first team, representing Jamaica, from Montego Bay, weighing in at a combined weight of 479 pounds...the team of DENZEL SPENCER, and his partner, REGGIE LAMONT!!!!!
TONY
What an eruption for the Jamaicans!
JESSE
No doubt who the crowd favorites are in this match!
The Jamaicans step into the ring and jump onto opposite buckles, raising their hands. They then hop off as the La Resistance theme hits and the cheers promptly turn to boos as the French team emerges with their flags.
ANNOUNCER
Their opponents...representing France, from Paris, at a combined weight of 508 pounds...the team of DOMINIQUE GASTON, and his partner, LEOPOLD MARTIN!!!!!
The French step into the ring, and continue to wave their flags, then set them outside the ring, and jump the Jamaicans from behind!
*DING DING DING*
JESSE
Here we go! One of these teams will be in Miami on the 27th for AngleSlam!
Dominique knocks Denzel out of the ring, then joins Leopold in a double team on Reggie. The French set up Reggie, and deliver a double suplex!
TONY
And the French team gaining an early advantage with the sneak attack, much to the chagrin of this crowd!
The French follow up by whipping Reggie into the ropes, and meeting him with a double clothesline! Leopold then sets Reggie up for a piledriver, but Reggie backdrops out of it! Reggie then exchanges blows with Dominique, getting the better of things, but Leopold quickly recovers and sends a knee into the back of Reggie. The French then set up Reggie for a double DDT!
TONY
And the French setting up their version of the double DDT, they call it the CREPE CRUSHER~!!!
However, Denzel is climbing to the top rope, and before the French can execute the move, he SKIES off the top and floors them both with a flying bodypress!
TONY
But Denzel with the save!
Denzel hammers away on Leopold, while Reggie delivers a side slam to Dominique! Dominique staggers up, and is clotheslined from the ring by Reggie, while Denzel dropkicks Leopold over the top on the other side!
TONY
And the French sent to the floor, and they had better regroup!
The French talk it over on the floor, and then get back to the ring, and Leopold steps in with Reggie. The crowd gets on Leopold's case with various derogatory chants, frustrating him. Leopold hops out onto the floor and puts his hands on his hips, then yells at the official, telling him to shut up the crowd.
JESSE
Fans really getting under the skin of the French right now!
Leopold slowly climbs back in, and circles the ring.
TONY
So, it's Leopold Martin and Reggie Lamont, one-on-one!
They tie up, and Leopold backs Reggie into the corner. Leopold drives in a couple knees, then attempts an Irish whip. Reggie reverses, however, and Leopold is sent in, and backdropped on his way out! A gutwrench suplex follows that up, then a cover...

Kickout!
Leopold quickly rolls to his corner, and tags in Dominique.
TONY
First tag, and it's Dominique Gaston stepping into the ring!
Reggie waves his arms at the crowd, and they quickly shower Dominique with similar chants. Dominique covers his ears, then steps through the ropes and pulls back his fist angrily. Reggie quickly approaches him, but Dominique bends down and covers his head. Reggie steps to the second rope over him, and the referee lays a count on him. Reggie steps down and backs off.
JESSE
See, I think this could be a problem for the Jamaicans. We know the French will do anything to go on to AngleSlam, but the Jamaicans are really just being too careful about the rules! I think it's going to take a little bending of the rules to get a win in this match!
Dominique emerges from the corner, and goes in for a tieup. Reggie grabs a side headlock, and is backed into the ropes, where Dominique makes a blind tag to Leopold. Dominique pushes off, and Reggie bounces off the ropes, then hops over. Dominique gets back up and goes into the opposite ropes as Reggie is leapfrogged by Leopold. Reggie stops behind Leopold, then shoves him into a charging Dominique, sending both to the mat! Reggie then tags in Denzel.
TONY
And the first tag on the Jamaican side, Denzel Spencer in the ring now!
Denzel grabs Dominique and delivers a snap suplex! Dominique slides out as Denzel scoops up Leopold in a fireman's carry, and delivers an airplane spin! Denzel does five rotations, then drops him on his back on the mat! Denzel gains his footing, then dropkicks Leopold from behind, sending him over the top to the floor!
TONY
The Jamaicans looking GREAT here in the early going!
The French regroup once again, and Dominique climbs in. Denzel goes for a tieup, but Dominique sends a boot to the gut. He then backs Denzel into the corner and lays in forearms, then brings him out and whips him into the ropes. Denzel ducks a clothesline, and hits Dominique on the rebound with a flying cross chop! Leopold comes in and is caught with a belly-to-belly gutwrench suplex! Reggie then tags back in, and whips Leopold to the ropes, then backs into the opposite side and connects with a high knee! He then picks up Dominique up on his shoulder, as if to deliver a spinebuster, then points to Denzel.
TONY
And the Jamaicans setting up the SINSEMILLA~!!!
JESSE

TONY

JESSE
Well, that goes back to what I mentioned earlier, Tony! The Jamaicans are too worried about the rules and pleasing these people! It worked for them early on, but now it's desparation time on the part of the French, and the Jamaicans are in trouble!

This is how they beat the Brits, now the referee has to stop this!

And these people are loving it!
The fans give Denzel their flag, and he takes it into the ring, as Reggie comes up with another flag. Tony Schiavone steps into the ring, and stands in between the two at the trophy table.
TONY (in ring)
Well folks, eight great teams comprised the European Bracket in the World Cup. But when the dust settled, it's the team from Jamaica, the seventh seed, going to AngleSlam!
*Denzel and Reggie grab the trophy and raise it in the air.*
TONY (in ring)
Denzel, let's start with you, how does it feel?
DENZEL
*Jamaican accent* It's a great feeling, Mr. Schiavone...(catches breath) the French, they fought hard, they did good...but we believed in ourself, we didn't let no one break our confidence, and we're going to AngleSlam!
*crowd cheers*
REGGIE
*Jamaican accent, slightly thicker* Dat's right, and we still believe! And with the support from these people, there was no way we could lose!
*crowd cheers*
REGGIE
JAMDUNG!
DENZEL
JAMDUNG!
Tony makes his way back to the table as the Jamaicans continue to celebrate.
TONY (at table)
That means "Jamaica", in case you're wondering, Jess.
JESSE
Yeah, thanks.
TONY
Now let's explain the sceanrios for the Jamaicans at AngleSlam...if the Canadians are victorious against Mexico, it'll be Canada taking on Jamaica in the semifinals, and the winners of the Asian and African brackets would meet. Should Canada lose, the next highest seed would be Japan, and after that, the Lithuanian team. If all the 1 seeds lose, then it will be Team Heyross as the highest 2 seed, to take on the Jamaicans. So there's what lies ahead for the Jamaicans, the European bracket champions! Congratulations once again, we're out of here, for Jesse "The Body" Ventura, I'm Tony Schiavone! Let's send it out to Soccer City in South Africa, to "Stagger" Lee Marshall and Tazz!
