There was an column in the Salt Lake Tribune today implying that the Jazz tanked last night's game in order to get the Rockets in the first round instead of the Spurs.

Still need keepers from Fokai and Precious Roy, or at least assurance of whether or not they'll be back next season.

Boston in 4 Cleveland in 6 - Cleveland really has been lucky here the last two years. If the players are allowed to decide this series, then I still think Washington has the better team here. But, fat chance of that happening with LeBron James. Magic in 6 - Surprised to see so many people picking them, I figured this would be a sexy upset pick for a lot of people. Pistons in 5 Lakers in 5 Utah in 6 San Antonio in 6 New Orleans in 7

Added the schedule into the original post. If you have NBATV, you may even be able to watch the Orlando/Toronto series! I'll have my predictions tommorrow.

East -1- Boston vs -8- Atlanta -4- Cleveland vs -5- Washington -3- Orlando vs -6- Toronto -2- Detroit vs -7- Philadelphia West -1- LA Lakers vs -8- Denver -4- Utah vs -5- Houston -3- San Antonio vs -6- Phoenix -2- New Orleans vs -7- Dallas Houston has homecourt against Utah.

This is really quite infuriating knowing that as great as the Pacers played down the stretch, that blown TJ Ford game-winner resulted in the Hawks having one more win than us. Then again, if we could beat the fucking Bobcats at home, that becomes irrelevant.

Jason Kidd with 27 points? Is this 2008, or 2002? Dallas locks up the 7th seed, as Kidd also records his 100th triple-double, and first since going back to Dallas. So that means Lakers/Nuggets and Hornets/Mavs in round 1.

Defense is optional in Indianapolis tonight.

OK, here's the situation in the West. The Lakers and Hornets have locked up the #1 and #2 spots, respectively. The winner of the Utah/SA game tommorrow locks up the #3 spot. If the Spurs lose and the Suns (vs POR) win, then the Suns would move into 4th, the Spurs would fall to 5th and the Rockets (vs LAC), win or lose, would fall to 6th. The Rockets can not move higher than 5th. If Denver (vs MEM) wins and Dallas (vs NO) loses, Denver would move into 7th, and Dallas would fall to 8th.

Yeah, it doesn't really matter. If the Finals is Hawks/Nuggets, I'll still watch.

Since acquiring Shaq, the Suns have gotten more media fellatio than any team in the league. I don't see how you can cite the media as a reason to not want the Lakers or Cavs in the Finals, and then say you want the Suns there.

Put this one at the top of the show. Cut outside, where a dirty white limo pulls into the lot. The limo has decals on it to appear as if it is wrapped in barbed wire. The driver and a passenger get out, and open the doors on both sides. The camera is focused on the driver's side, as Alfdogg steps out of the limo, nattily attired in an all-black suit with a red tie, to the boos of the crowd. COACH Here they are, can you believe it? On the other side, Reject steps out, attired in a gravel-colored suit, followed by Thunderkid, wearing a black tux/gangster hat getup, with a sea green sash on the hat. Sandman9000 steps out behind Alf, in his normal ring attire, with a black tie. COLE Yes indeed, folks, we never thought we'd say this again, but the Deadly Alliance has arrived at the arena! Alf smiles as the DA starts its walk to the arena. Once inside the building, Bohemoth walks by, to a mixed reaction of mostly boos. ALF Hey, big guy! Bo turns, and stares down Alf, who holds his hand out as if to say "take it easy". ALF I just wanted to you know...you were right to snuff Malibu at AngleMania. That was your moment, and don't anyone tell you any different. Bo continutes to stare down Alf for a second, then nods and grins just slightly. BO I appreciate that. Alf smiles, as Bo turns and walks away. The DA then continues its walk to the arena. COLE This is shaping up to be some kind of night here on HeldDOWN~! This one can go wherever. COLE Let's go up to the ring, and Jesse "The Body" Ventura! JESSE You know, Michael Cole, as I sat and watched HeldDOWN~! last week, and I saw what transpired after the main event, this interview was just too tempting for the Body to pass up. I had to be the first one to get the scoop, from the group themselves! So ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, Alfdogg, Sandman9000, Thunderkid and Reject, THE DEADLY ALLIANCE! [i]The Wall[/i] by Kansas hits, and Alfdogg leads the Deadly Alliance through the curtains. The four men stand at the top of the ramp, as Alf smiles once again. COLE Truly shocking. The DA walks to the ring, and all four men pose on the buckles, then Alf joins Jesse at mid-ring. JESSE I guess my first question is, Alf...how did this all come to pass? ALF Well, you know, Jesse...I've done everything here in the OAOAST. I've been the World champion twice...I'm the only three-time Heartland champion...Lethal Rumble winner...and to be honest, it all gets boring after a while. I'm ready to have some fun, Jesse. And last week, that was the most fun I've had here in a long, long time, just staring down at that wannabe, Tha Puerto Rican, and his buddy Rico Suave as they were laying at our feet. :lol: JESSE You know, Alf, what's really intriguing about this whole thing, is how you managed to get Sandman9000 on the same page, mere days after you bloody brawl at AngleMania! ALF I gotta be honest, Jesse...when Sandman came back many months ago, I wasn't sure what to make of it. Yes, he's held the Heartland title for over six months, but let's face it...he wasn't facing Alfdogg. He wasn't facing EvenflowDDT. He wasn't facing JINGUS. He wasn't facing Some Guy. I had to get Sandman back in the ring, to make sure he was still the warrior I remembered from the glory days. And at AngleMania...I found out he was that, and more. That was when I knew, I had to have this guy on my side. And here we are today. JESSE And in the process, you've locked up a shot at the World tag team titles for Thunderkid and Reject! REJECT That's right! This is a long time coming for me and Thunderkid. Sure, we had our differences in the past, but we've grown above that. And we've got unfinished business as a team, and that's to take the World tag team titles from those chumps Team Heyross. THUNDERKID That's right, Reject. Charlie Moss, you may be a four-time All-American in amateur wrestling, but soon enough, you'll be catching a professional ass-kicking from the two of us. And Quentin Benjamin? He's nobody's friend. If Benjamin was an ice cream flavor, he'd be pralines, and [i]dick.[/i] JESSE :lol: ALF And I know PRL, he's one of these guys that has more guts than brains. He thinks he wants a piece of me, and will put his title on the line. And that will be the last mistake he makes as the World champion. *crowd boos* ALF So take notes, all you Johnny-come-lately stables...in the coming weeks, the Deadly Alliance is gonna show you all how it's done. [i]The Wall[/i] by Kansas hits, and The Deadly Alliance departs. JESSE Michael Cole, we're witnessing history, right before our very eyes! The Deadly Alliance is BACK! Back to Sofa Central!

As far as All-NBA teams go...my first and second teams are actually the same as Ripper's. The first team is pretty much indisputable, although I could understand if Amare made first team over Howard. On the third team, I'd probably go with Carlos Boozer in Jamison's spot, and Marcus Camby in Wallace's. Unbelieveable that Dirk could go from being the MVP to being shut out the next season.

I had a counterpoint for Roy's post, but I couldn't put it into words without it sounding stupid, so I'll go ahead and concede this argument. I guess there are only six individual awards. Unless you count Executive of the Year, which I don't. In non-playoff news, the Blazers waived Darius Miles yesterday. Enjoy life after basketball.

OK, my awards. MVP: Kobe Bryant. Like Ripper said, though, it could go either way. You won't hear a word of complaint from over here if Chris Paul gets it. I just think Kobe has had to overcome more adversity, with Bynum going down, and then the trade for Gasol, having to work an All-Star into the system at mid-season, and still looking to have the #1 seed. ROTY: Al Horford. Durant's going to get it, of course; he's been penciled in ever since Oden was declared out. But honestly, outside of a few noteworthy games, Durant had a pretty meh rookie season. I actually thought Al Thornton, once he started to get minutes, was a more impressive all-around player. Durant's only going to get better, of course, but this season Horford was a more efficient player and a key commodity for a playoff team. Defensive POTY: Kevin Garnett. I think Josh Smith will get his due here one day, but the thing that separates Garnett from him and Marcus Camby is the way his mindset has rubbed off on the rest of his team. You look at Denver...their defensive capabilities as a team have been well documented. Atlanta...they're certainly no Denver, but still not a particularly good defensive team. "Paul Pierce's defense has really been the difference here in the first half" is something I never thought I'd hear before this season. COTY: Rick Adelman. When it comes down to it, a 22-game win streak despite losing arguably your best player right in the middle of it has got to be worth something. 6MOTY: For me, this is a toss-up between Kyle Korver and James Jones. Utah was looking like they might miss the playoffs before making that trade, now they can get as high as the 2 seed, depending on how that NO/LAC game ended up. And in the case of Jones, his ability to spread the floor was a huge X-factor for the Blazers, and his absence for a few weeks really killed all their momentum after that 13-game win streak. But, honestly, I don't know why this award even exists anymore, or why they don't rename it "The Guy Who Scores The Most Points Coming Off The Bench Award". Because that's always what it ends up being. Ginobili is one of my favorite players, but like Ripper said, he's not a true sixth man. MIP: Mike Dunleavy. All the other candidates "improved" because they got more playing time. After largely being considered a bust, Dunleavy has become a bonafide go-to-guy for the Pacers, and is finally looking like a guy drafted with the #3 overall pick. Oakland's trash is our treasure. I'll have my All-league teams in a bit. I was thinking there was seven of these awards...which one am I forgetting.

FYI, all first-round matchups in the East are set. -1- Boston vs -8- Atlanta -4- Cleveland vs -5- Washington -3- Orlando vs -6- Toronto -2- Detroit vs -7- Philadelphia I'll post my awards tommorrow night, but it looks like they're mostly the same as Ripper's.

Well, given that 1. We were picked to finish second to last in the East by ESPN 2. We played half the season without two starters 3. We didn't have Mike Bibby fall into our laps at the All-Star break I'm surprisingly pleased with the way our season ended up. We should have a lot of confidence built up going into next season, depending on what the offseason brings. Maybe Ron Artest will come back. Congrats to the Hawks though, srsly. I'm glad they got the spot if it had to be someone besides us; they deserve it after everything ownership has put that team through. Plus, if they missed, we were looking at the Suns having a shot at the #1 pick.

For future reference, just do a Google search and you can get a translator that you can put right on your Google page (as well as the metric converter I used for the weights). You may have to register an account first, I can't quite remember. I'm far too lazy to look up every word and do it that way. Great showing by Nathaniel Black in the opener. The other semifinalists better take notice. Landon stealing Todd Cortez's camera and promo time. Whatta dick. Remember what I said about taking notice to Black? It looks like notice is taken, courtesy of Todd Cortez. He's in a foul mood, and Fly never had a chance. Hilarious skit with the CAE's and Leon. That's right, MEL, you make him get his own sauce! And there's the big turn from Jock. Can't wait for the payoff from this. Baron JUMPED through the window to escape! What an act of cowardice! First leg of the European scouting tour was a big hit. Kudos to Landon for sweating out another win. So, Popick is leaving, eh? And his Corporation is kaput? Dug the "out/safe/out/safe" bit with Cole and Coach. We may need another heel stable to fill the Corporation's void. Sly is back, and he's facing Bohemoth next week. Should be great stuff. I'm interested to see what direction Bo's character goes from here. To follow up on that, the usual INTENSE~! promo from Zack. Looks as if he's not done with Bohemoth. Terrific match between Leon and Christian Wright. Leon/Todd should be even better. MOTN: Leon Rodez vs Christian Wright LOTN: Choose pretty much any line from the Leon/CAE scene.

Chicago sure does love its Taco Bell.

He made reference to some people on there who were I guess using the "Kobe has never won it before" excuse as a reason why he should win the MVP. "These numbskulls, I won't mention any names, but uh, ESPN..." Which I don't think ESPN needs to go that route anyway. Kobe's claim to the MVP is as legit as anyone's. Although it would be tough to justify not giving it to Chris Paul should the Hornets finish atop the West.

[i]God of Thunder[/i] hits, as the arena goes dark. Yellow lights illuminates the entryway, and yellow smoke goes off, with Thunderkid, followed by Reject, emerging through the cloud. COLE And it's time for our main event of the evening! A tag team exstravaganza here on HeldDOWN~! Let's go to the ring! Ring Announcer [i]Le concours suivant est prévu pour une chute! La route qui mène à l'anneau, à un poids combiné de deux cent vingt kilos ... l'équipe de THUNDERKID et REJETER![/i] COLE Tremendous job by our French announcer here tonight, on HeldDOWN~! from Paris! COACH This is going to be great, Cole! I don't buy that either of these reunions is going to last, it'll be interesting to see which team implodes first! COLE Well, we'll see, and Alfdogg certainly shares your opinion as we saw earlier tonight! TK and Reject enter the ring and pose on the buckles, then exchange high tens and wait in their corner. A piano plays a melody, causing the crowd to cheer. The lights go down in the arena, turning back on in tune with the melody. *"COME ON!"* *BOOM~!* Pyro explodes, leaving behind fire that burns on both sides of the entrance stage. "Gasolina (Remix)" by Daddy Yankee featuring Lil' Jon and Pitbull starts playing. The entrance doors slide open, and Colombian Heat comes charging out, receiving a HUGE pop from the Detroit fateful. Heat gets the crowd fired up, bouncing up and down across the entrance stage, the OAOAST United States Championship belt strapped around his waist. Heat points to his belt, and then raises his hands, acknowledging the fans. Colombian Heat points to both sides of the arena, and then walks down the entrance ramp, slapping hands with the fans along the way. Ring Announcer [i]Et leurs adversaires ... introduisant en premier lieu, venus de Miami, en Floride, son poids de quatre-vingt-deux kilos ... il est le règne OAOAST champion des Etats-Unis ... COLOMBIENNE HEAT![/i] COLE They love Colombian Heat here in Paris! A real ladies' man! COACH Oh, give me a [i]break.[/i] Heat waits on the outside, as his music dies down. “THE CHAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMP…” *DUN DUN* “…IS…” *DUN* “…HERE!” A lightning bolt hits the entrance stage, the PRL entrance video plays on the AngleTron, and “Know Your Role 2000” blasts over the P.A. system, bringing the crowd to life. The lights go down in the arena. PR is heard saying, “THE CHAMP IS HERE!” in tune with the beat of the song, while smoke fills the entrance stage, and spotlights circle around and around the arena. A few seconds elapsed, the entrance doors slide open, and Tha Puerto Rican quickly saunters out, stopping to look at the size of the crowd. PRL looks all over the arena, and then takes a deep breath. He jumps up and down, snorts, and then walks down the entrance ramp, not stopping at all, keeping his eyes focused on the ring. The crowd cheers louder than before. Ring Announcer [i]Et son partenaire ... tag équipe originaire de San Juan, à Porto Rico, son poids de quatre-vingt-neuf kilos ... il est le NOUVEAU OAOAST poids lourd champion du monde ... PUERTO LA RICIENNE![/i] PRL meets Heat in the aisle way, and they both slide into the ring. As Heat does the "W" hand signal in a corner, PRL does the HBK muscle pose as pyro goes off behind him. COLE Folks, set your VCRs, because this is going to be a historic match! Heat asks for a mic. HEAT Yo, kill da beat. PRL's music dies down. HEAT A'ight, y'all...I've been reading this handbook here to get ready for this, let's see how this works out. *clears throat* HEAT Si vous êtes prêt ... COLE :lol: HEAT Me voir et le nouveau champion du monde, Puerto la Ricienne... *crowd cheers* HEAT Thunderkid et Rejeter faire sentir la chaleur ... puis Paris, France ... faire un peu de bruit UP DANS CE -- CROWD BIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATCH~! Heat hands the mic back to the ring announcer, then waits in the corner, as PRL steps out, as does Reject. *DING DING DING* COLE Here we go, Thunderkid and Colombian Heat starting us off! TK and Heat circle the ring, and tie up. After a struggle, TK backs Heat into a corner. However, Heat turns TK around, and holds him, causing the referee to step in and attempt to break. When he does this, TK delivers a right hand to Heat, then turns him around in the corner, and starts firing off rights. COLE And Thunderkid overpowering the United States champion here to start! The referee admonishes TK, which allows Heat to pull himself back to his feet, and start firing back on TK! COLE But look at Heat fight back! TK cuts him off with a knee to the gut, then sets up an Irish whip. Heat reverses, then drops down, and catches him coming back with a flying cross body! 1... 2... Kickout! TK tries a clothesline, but Heat ducks, and hits him with a dropkick! He then hits Reject with a dropkick on the apron! Heat wrings the arm of TK, and brings him into the corner, tagging in PRL. COLE The champ is in! PRL hammers away on TK in the corner, then spits on his hand and delivers one last big right! COLE And a BIG right hand! PRL then whips TK across, but TK bounces out and floors him with a clothesline! COACH And a BIG clothesline to counter! TK stops to catch his breath, then covers... 1... 2... Kickout! TK then makes a tag to Reject, who comes in and gets caught with a Samoan drop! COLE Action fast and furious here in the early going! PRL stomps away at Reject, chasing him into a corner, where he fires off right hands. He then whips him across and charges, but Reject moves out of the way, then sends him to the mat with a spin kick! COLE Nobody home on that one, and then PRL caught a big kick to the face! Reject measures PRL, and drops a fist to the face! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! TK tags back in, and hops to the second rope as Reject holds. TK comes off with a double axhandle, then whips him into the ropes. TK puts his head down, however, and gets caught with a swinging neckbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! PRL delivers right hands, then sets up an Irish whip, but TK reverses, and lifts him in a PRESS SLAM~! COLE And look at the power here! TK slams PRL to the mat, then covers... 1... 2... Kickout! COACH And I think PRL should have tagged right there instead of going for the cover, that's that ego coming into play! COLE Oh, don't start. Reject tags back in, and delivers some forearm blows. COLE And there's a tag on the other side, so far, Thunderkid and Reject have been the more well-oiled of the two teams, I think you'd have to say. COACH Yeah, I'd agree with that, so far, but it's still early in the match, Cole! Reject knocks PRL to the mat, then runs to the ropes, but PRL catches him with a back elbow! PRL then waits, as Reject gets to his feet. COACH Like right now, why doesn't PRL tag? COLE It's the heat of battle, I think, Coach! COACH A likely story. PRL catches Reject with a Rock spinebuster, then walks a half-lap around to this head! COLE Uh-oh, could it be time, for the most electrifying move in sports entertainment? PRL kicks Reject's arm to the side, then slowly pulls his elbowpad off, and tosses it into the crowd. He then runs to his left, then hops over Reject...but on his way back, TK jumps to the floor and pulls Reject out by his foot! COACH Boy, TK and Reject dodged a bullet right there, though! However, TK and Reject don't have much time to regroup, as Heat comes flying down on top of them with a flying bodypress off the top rope! COLE And Heat flying on top of TK and Reject! Heat hammers away on TK, while PRL follows him out, and goes back after Reject, tossing him back inside. Heat hops back onto the apron, and sticks a foot out for PRL, which he rams the face of Reject into. Heat then tags in, and whips Reject across, catching him with a spinning wheel kick! Heat then signals for the end! COACH This could be it, Cole! Heat gets behind Reject, and scoops him up...but Reject manages to roll backwards to his feet and slip loose, then shoves Heat into the ropes, where TK is getting back onto the apron, and pulls the top rope down, which causes Heat to go crashing over them to the floor! COLE But no, Reject counters, and Heat goes out to the floor! TK trying to get back onto the apron, pulling the rope down, and Heat ends up flying over them! TK hops down, and stomps away on Heat, as Reject distracts the referee. TK then slams Heat sternum-first on the guardrail, and rolls him back inside, where Reject covers... 1... 2... Kickout! Reject stomps away on the corner, and the referee backs him off. TK then hops off the apron, and delivers shots to the chest. COLE And some nice teamwork here by TK and Reject, looking for a shot at the tag team titles, held by Team Heyross! Reject sets up Heat in the corner, and delivers a CHOP~! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! And another! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! A third! Crowd: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~! Reject then executes a back suplex, and covers... 1... 2... Kickout! Reject tags TK back in, and TK grabs Heat in a hangman's hold. COACH I don't know if I've ever liked this hold more! Lay into him, Reject! Reject measures Heat, and delivers a roundhouse kick to the abdomen! Heat rolls around on the mat in pain, and TK covers... 1... 2... Shoulder up! TK picks up Heat, and whips him into a corner, then charges...but Heat moves out of the way! Heat then delivers right hands, the last of which TK ducks, and attempts a reverse sunset! However, Heat blocks, then catches a charging TK and drops him across the ropes in a stungun! COLE Nice stungun by Colombian Heat! Heat then climbs to the top, waits for TK to get to his feet, and comes off for a MISSILE DROPKICK~!...but TK sidesteps him, and Heat crashes into the mat! TK covers... 1... 2... Kickout! TK drags Heat into his corner, and tags in Reject. Reject fires off rights on Heat, whips him into the ropes, and delivers a foot to the gut. He sets him up for the PITCH BLACK~!!!!!11111 COLE And now Reject looking to end the match! However, Heat backdrops out of it! COACH And now Heat needs to tag! Heat crawls towards his corner, but Reject is able to grab his foot. Heat gets to his feet, and he and Reject engage in a slugfest. Heat gets the better of the exchange, but Reject goes to the eyes. He whips Heat across, then drops down. Heat ducks a clothesline, then the two clothesline each other! COLE Double clothesline, both men down! The referee starts a count. 1!!! 2!!! 3!!! 4!!! 5!!! 6!!! 7!!! 8!!! Both men start to stir, then roll towards their corners, and make tags simultaneously! COLE And tags made on both sides! PRL ducks a TK clothesline, and starts firing off rights, knocking him to the mat! PRL then catches Reject with right hands, knocking him to the mat, as well! PRL the sets up TK, and drills him with the CAPPA KILLA~!!! COLE PRL with the Cappa Killa on TK! Cover... 1... 2... NO!!! TK gets the shoulder up, as the crowd starts booing. COLE What's this? The camera pans to the front of the aisleway, where Alfdogg has arrived at ringside. COACH What could Alf be doing out here? Alf goes around to the timekeepers' table, and grabs the World title, then raises it up to show PRL! COLE Alf taunting PRL right now, he's got his belt! PRL slides out and catches up to Alf in the middle of the aisle, tackling him and slugging away! COACH We're getting a little bonus action here, Cole! COLE PRL hammering away on Alf in the aisle! The referee yells at PRL, as Reject is staring at the battle, arms outstretched, wondering what the hell is going on, when Heat spins him around, and starts firing off right hands! COACH And meanwhile, Heat has been left alone in the ring! What a partner! COLE Oh, shut up! Heat ducks a spinkick, and floors Reject with the PELE KICK~! COLE And there's the Pele kick! Heat then ducks behind for the COLOMBIAN NECKTIE~!!!!!11111...but a figure comes from through the crowd, and kicks him in the nuts from behind! COACH What the... COLE ...Coach, that looks like Sandman9000! Sandman rips off his bandages, revealing that it is indeed him! He then picks up Heat, hooks him, and drills him with the ARCHANGEL'S WINGS~!!!!!11111 Reject drapes an arm across, as the referee returns and counts... 1... 2... 3!!! *DING DING DING* COLE And Thunderkid and Reject pick up the win! What the hell is going on here? COACH ...if it's what I think it is, I like it! Ring announcer [i]Mesdames et Messieurs, les gagnants du match de l'équipe ... et THUNDERKID REJETER![/i] The crowd doesn't know how to react, as PRL rushes back to ringside and attacks Reject, but is attacked from behind by Sandman! COLE What is Sandman doing? What are all these guys doing? Sandman looks at TK and Reject for a second, and the three of them smile, then proceed to triple-team PRL! COLE Coach...am I seeing what I think I'm seeing? Alf jogs back down to ringside, with a big grin on his face, and slides inside. COACH ...I think we are, Cole! I love it! Alf walks over to PRL, with his hands on his hips. The referee grabs Alf by the arm, and Alf turns around and wallops him with a right hand! COLE And there goes the referee! Reject picks up PRL, and drops him with the EULOGY~!!!!!11111 COLE Reject with the Eulogy, as Alfdogg climbing to the top rope! TK chokes Heat in the corner, as Alf gets his balance on the top. Alf taunts the crowd, and comes down onto PRL with the FIVE-STAR ALF SPLASH~!!!!!11111 COACH YES~! Alf then motions to TK, who brings Heat over to where PRL is...and drops him with the SCORPION DEATHDROP~!!!!!11111 Heat and PRL are left lying on their backs, with the tops of their heads next to each other. Alf grabs PRL's belt, as Sandman stands to his right, TK to his left, and Reject to TK's left, and everyone raises their hands in the air. COACH Boy, you were right Cole! I hope everyone did set their VCRs for this, this truly IS a historic night! Many fans are booing and heaving trash the way of Alf & co., but there are some cheers from the old school fans in the crowd. COLE This is unbelieveable, it looks as if we've seen an Alliance reunite here! PRL has finally made it to the top of the mountain, but it looks as if his title reign just got Deadlier! Alf holds the belt in the prone PRL's face, talking trash, then raises it back into the air as we... [b]FADE TO BLACK[/b]

[color=ff1493][b]Je t'adore, je t'adore...[/b][/color] [i]Girls, Girls, Girls[/i] hits, and pink smoke and strobes fill the entryway as "After Hours" Felix Stutter walks through, followed by Reggie Lamont.

Ring Announcer [i]Leurs opposants ... à un poids combiné de deux cent vingt kilos ... ils sont les NOUVEAU OAOAST monde balise équipe les champions ... de l'équipe de CHARLIE MOUSSE et QUENTIN BENJAMIN, HEYROSS éQUIPE![/i] COLE The announcements from our French ring announcer, for the World tag team champions! It's been a long wait for Team Heyross, but they finally reached the top of the mountain at AngleMania VII! Team Heyross shows their belts off to the crowd, then hands them to the referee. Moss and Lamont step to the outside, as the referee raises the belts in the air. *DING DING DING* COLE And we're underway! Benjamin and Strutter circle the ring, and move in for the tie up. Strutter quickly catches Benjain with a kick to the gut, and grabs a side headlock. Benjamin backs Strutter into the ropes, then shoves him across. He drops down, then goes for a dropkick, but Strutter hooks the ropes, and Benjamin crashes into the mat! COLE And a nice counter there by Felix Strutter, a two-time Heartland champion, as well as a former International World champion! Strutter backs Benjamin into a corner, and drives shoulders into the midsection. He whips Benjamin across hard, then grabs him by the arm on the way out and whips him across again, but this time, Benjamin slingshots over the top! However, Strutter manages to catch him momentarily, before Benjamin slips behind the back, and attempts a reverse sunset, which is blocked by Strutter grabbing the ropes. COLE Expect fast and furious action here, two of the premier high-flyers in the business! Strutter charges Benjamin, who leapfrogs, then drops down, then leapfrogs again, and catches Strutter with a flying clothesline! Benjamin delivers rights to Strutter on the mat, then wrings the arm, but Strutter goes to the eyes. COACH There's a nice wrestling counter! COLE ;rolleyes: Strutter follows with forearm uppercuts, backing Benjamin into the ropes, then goes for a big right hand, but Benjamin ducks, and hammers Felix on the ropes, then tags in Moss. COLE First tag of the match, and Charlie Moss in! Moss and Benjamin whip Strutter across, and catch him with a double hiptoss! Moss follows by scoop-slamming Benjamin on top of Strutter! COLE Look at that teamwork! Lamont climbs in, and floors Moss with a bicycle kick, then, without missing a beat, drills Benjamin with a spinning reverse thrust kick! COLE And look at Reggie Lamont! What a sequence! Lamont raises his arms in the air, drawing boos, then grabs Strutter, and whips him towards both Team Heyross members. Strutter tries a double clothesline, but Team Heyross ducks, and sends him to the outside with a double superkick! Lamont tries one of his own, and meets the same fate! COLE But a great recovery by the champs, and Felix and Reggie are out to regroup! After a brief strategy session, Lamont steps into the ring, met by Charlie Moss. They move in for the tieup, but Lamont drives a knee into the gut, then delivers a European uppercut, followed by a headbutt, sending Moss to the mat. COLE Reggie Lamont getting the best of the slugfest, which is to be expected. COACH That's what Reggie does, Cole, he's not out here to wrestle, he's out here to punish people! Lamont stomps away on Moss, who rolls to the apron. Lamont delivers right hands, but Moss returns a few, then slides back in underneath the legs of Lamont! COLE But look at this! Moss delivers right hands, then attempts an Irish whip. Lamont reverses, but puts his head down, and Moss goes for a sunset flip! Lamont blocks, then tries for a right hand, but Moss moves, and Lamont punches the mat! COLE And nobody home for Reggie Lamont! Moss backs into the ropes, and goes for a flying bodypress, but Lamont catches him! COLE And look at this! Charlie Moss is 250 pounds! Benjamin comes off the top with a MISSILE DROPKICK, the end result being Moss on top of Lamont! 1... 2... Kickout! Moss wrings the arm, but Lamont quickly counters with a headbutt, then sets him up for a powerbomb. He gets him up, but Moss delivers right hands. Benjamin tries to come in, but is intercepted by the referee, as Strutter sneaks in, grabs Moss by the hair, and jumps over the top rope, guillotining Moss on the top rope as he still sat on Lamont's shoulders! COACH WOW! What a move by Reggie and Felix! We could have new champs in a hurry, Cole! Strutter poses for the fans on the outside, drawing boos. In the ring, Lamont lifts Moss into the air, into a PRESS SLAM~! COLE And once again Reggie Lamont showing off the power advantage! Lamont tosses Moss down to the mat, then takes a cheap shot at Benjamin on the apron. COACH And Lamont drawing Benjamin into the ring right there, smart move! Lamont tosses Moss into the corner, where Strutter chokes him with the tag rope! COLE And now illegal activities going on in the corner! COACH "Illegal activities"...:rolleyes: What's he doing, soliciting a French maid prostitute over there? Relax, it's just a little tag rope. COLE It's illegal in the boundaries of professional wrestling! Strutter tags in, and whips moss across the ring. Moss ducks a clothesline, and catches Strutter with a flying bodypress! 1... 2... Kickout! Strutter quickly pounces on Moss, then whips him hard into a corner, causing Moss to drop to his knees holding his back. Strutter then picks up Moss, and executes a backbreaker! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Lamont tags in, and whips Moss across, catching him in a BEARHUG~! COACH And they've targeted a body part now, they're working over that back of Charlie Moss! COLE Yes indeed, very smart, and Reggie Lamont now with the bearhug applied, trying to squeeze a submission out out of Charlie Moss! Moss fades, and the referee lifts his arm... ONE!!! TWO!!! But Moss holds through on the third lift, then gains some energy, and delivers a right hand! A second! A third! However, Lamont holds on and rams Moss into a corner! COACH And look at that, Reggie just took all those right hands and stayed right on the offensive! This guy is tough! COLE No doubt about it! Lamont whips Moss across, then charges, but Moss gets his foot up! Moss then hops to the second rope, and leaps off, but gets caught in a POWERSLAM~! COACH Mos should have tagged right there! COLE And this could be it right here, but now Lamont making a mistake, and not covering! Lamont lifts up Moss, and grabs him in a front facelock. COACH Uh-oh, he's looking for the finish now! Lamont tries to lift Moss in a suplex, but Moss blocks once, then blocks again, and lifts Lamont in the air, dropping him on his stomach across the ropes! COLE And NOW, Moss needs to make a tag! Both guys inch to their corner, and tag at approximately the same time! COLE There it is! Benjamin is a HOUSE AFIRE~! as he fires off on Strutter, then whips him across and catches him with a SPINNING WHEEL KICK~! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Benjamin sets up Strutter in the corner, and starts firing off rights, as the crowd counts along! UN!!! DEUX!!! TROIS!!! QUATRE!!! CINQ!!! Benjamin then leaps back and catches the approaching Lamont with a bodypress! COACH Whoa! Benjamin delivers rights on the mat, then jumps up and catches Strutter with more rights. He attempts an Irish whip, which Strutter reverses, but puts his head down, and gets caught in a swinging neckbreaker! Cover.. 1... 2... NO! Strutter gets the shoulder up! Benjamin and Moss catch Lamont with a double dropkick, sending him to the outside! They then converge on Strutter, and flatten him with the DOUBLE GOOZLE~! COLE And they're setting up Felix!

Benjamin runs to the ropes, as Moss raises Felix as high as he can, then leaps high in the air, and brings him down with a NECKBREAKER as Moss sits out! COACH Wow! COLE And there's a new one from the champs! 1... 2... 3!!! *DING DING DING* COLE And it retains the titles! Ring announcer [i]Mesdames et Messieurs, les gagnants du match ... et encore OAOAST monde tag équipe de champions ... HEYROSS éQUIPE![/i] COLE Just when you think they've done it all, they pull that move out of the books! Team Heyross with an impressive showing in their first title defense! Let's go to...

Yeah, I didn't word that very well, at all. What I was trying to say was that defensively, Woodson doesn't appear to be much of a disciplinarian in comparison to a Skiles or Carlisle. I've heard those guys referred to as "micromanagers", which Skiles does seem like a bit of a tightass, but I've never seen that with Carlisle, really. Maybe I'm just a bit biased towards him, but the only guys I've seen actively complain about him are knuckleheads like Stephen Jackson and Jamaal Tinsley, so I don't really put much stock into that.
