Hoff probably doesn't have 'net access. Didn't he move or something recently?

Makes up for the poor Ned/THR post-match promos. Cut backstage, inside the dressing room of THE SK8TER BOIZ. The Marv and Hell Mel are dressed in street clothes, the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles around their slender waists. Jesse Ventura stands with mic in hand. VENTURA Jesse "The Body" backstage with yet [i]another[/i] exclusive interview. And it's my honor to welcome back to the OAOAST the World Tag Team Champions, The Sk8ter Boiz! Guys, I guess congratulations are in order for your winning the European Tag Cup during your extensive tour of Europe and the Far East. Welcome back to the OAOAST. THE MARV I tell you, Jesse, it's great to be back in the OAOAST and on North American soil. You should've seen some of the food they eat over their. HELL MEL You should've seen the German team we beat in the Conference Finals in the E.T.C. -- I swear they were women on steroids. THE MARV And Mel loved every minute being in the ring with them. HELL MEL Nuh-uh. THE MARV Uh-huh. HELL MEL Nuh-uh. THE MARV Uh-huh. HELL MEL Nuh-uh. THE MARV Nuh-uh. HELL MEL Uh-huh. THE MARV Fine. You're right. HELL MEL That's right. VENTURA After finding out Hell Mel likes juiced up German women... HELL MEL Nuh-uh! Hey, you tricked me, Marv. I'm gonna tell mom. THE MARV Like always, eh? HELL MEL Shut up! THE MARV Make me. The Boiz start push each other. Jesse steps in and breaks it up. VENTURA Do this on your own time. I got questions to ask. Let's talk a bit more about the European Tag Cup. I know everyone here in the OAOAST is proud their representives were successful. But I gotta tell it like it is -- you may have won the European Tag Cup, but you didn't beat Black T, who just so happen to be next in line for your World Tag Team Titles. THE MARV We may never be able to say we're proud to be American, because we're Canadian, but we are proud to be OAOAST through and through. If there's one thing winning the belts taught us, it's believing in ourselves. HELL MEL Yeah. Now we believe we'll eventually lose our virginities. THE MARV If Black T wants some, all they gotta do is step up to center ice and put 'em... VENTURA Whoa! THE MARV (CONT'D) (looking up) ...up. A row of LOCKERS fall down on the Boiz, Jesse just narrowly getting out of the way. The cameraman takes a plunge himself. With the camera shooting from its side, all we see are two pairs of feet putting the boots to the Boiz trapped underneath the lockers. The cameraman gets back on his feet, grabs the camera and takes a split-second to focus in on... ...TONY BRANNIGAN & CWM attacking the World Tag Team Champions! Tony and CWM remove the belts from around the Boiz' waist and drive them into their heads. OAOAST personnel surround the area, getting two members of what we believed to be the now-defunct Original Elite away from the Boiz. VENTURA CWM, Tony -- I'm confused. I thought you guys hated each other? TONY Let me give you the 411, Jesse. The most elite force in professional wrestling is whole again. The Original Elite are back on the same page. You see, I've had a week to reflect on where things were going. And I came to the conclusion that my mind had become consumed with greed, my heart powered by darkness. Instead of looking at the bigger picture, I kept staring at myself in the mirror. I lost my edge. But that man...(pointing to CWM)...gave me a lesson in tough love. Quite frankly, you don't need Stephen A. Smith to tell you the OAOAST could use a lesson in tough love. CWM saw it before [i]ALL[/i] of us did. As a former member of the aWo, CWM knows a little something about hostile takeovers. He saw all the signs. He warned us. A warning which went unheard. While we were all fighting for personal wealth, he spoke and warn of a powerful force coming full steam ahead. That force was Drek Stone and the GPX. We've seen the damage they've done in recent weeks. Now it's time to begin fighting fire with fire. And the best way to do that is by insuring each and every OAOAST championship keeps from falling into the wrong hands. Last week it was announced the Elite had signed for a World Tag Team Title match. Many speculated whether our shot was in jeopardy due to in-fighting. Let me answer that question by announcing not only is the Elite a unit once again, but CWM and I are personally going to take back the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles. It's vital to the future of the OAOAST that all the titles stay out of the hands of Mr. Stone and the GPX. What better two men for the mission than two former World Champions and two men who have seen this company built from the ground up. CWM Do you believe one can regain the soul long since believed gone? The OAOAST has lost its soul. Corrupt Administration after corrupt Administration. A once innovative company and its work force became complacent. They lived by the motto -- "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil." Now that evil is lurking and the very existence of the OAOAST is threatened, more and more are beginning to realize the challenge ahead. Like a newborn child, our eyes have opened and we see the light. Those who follow the path of Drek Stone and the GPX are promised great rewards when in actuality they are being lead toward their demise and into a pool of their own blood. CWM sees the officials pulling the Boiz out from under the lockers. He makes his way through the officials, pushing many of them aside and POLLYCUTTER'S Marv on top of the locker! Officials grab CWM, leaving Tony all alone. He knees Hell Mel in the gut and throws him inside a locker, slamming the door shut! TONY You're going back to school next week. Heh. CWM and Tony are ecsorted out. VENTURA (sinister chuckle) I think we're gonna have new tag champs next week. Back to you. Heh Heh Heh.

A couple of eh promos. We cut backstage to the locker room, Jesse Ventura ducking out of the way of various objects -- luggage, chairs, etc. -- being thrown by Narcissistic Ned. Ned slams a chair to the floor, growling. VENTURA Ned, what happened out there? It seemed like you had everything in control. You gotta be upset with the result? NED Upset?! I'm not upset, Jesse. As a matter of fact, I'm thrilled! VENTURA Thrilled? NED The Ned-man doesn't deserve sloppy seconds. Why buy a used car when you can get one just out of the assembly line? While Holly and the Heavenly Rockers are off celebrating, they opened up a whole new can of worms when they attacked a defensiveless man in Jim Cornette. You've once again showed your pettiness in causing pain to those you want, Holly. It isn't sexual this time, but rather intellectual. You wish you had the mind for business like Jimmy does. Because of you he's in the trainer's room being looked over by a team of doctors, possibily having suffered a serious neck injury. The OAOAST isn't big enough for the both of us. So how 'bout we raise the stakes a little, huh? VENTURA Wait a minute, Ned. I gotta remind you, because of your loss you're no longer allowed to get involved in the Heavenly Rockers' affairs. NED Oh, but I think this is one affair they'll be very interested in getting involved in, Jess. Last week Holly said she was willing to risk it all to put an end to her so-called "nightmare." I know how much they hate our guts, that's why we come to them this week willing to risk it all. If you accept our tag team match for next week, Synth and Logan, and our able to beat us 1-2-3, then myself, Simon and Jimmy will leave the OAOAST for life! "YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" VENTURA That's a helluva lot you all would be risking, Ned. Are you sure about that? NED We're going all in. If they can hold us down for those 3 seconds it takes to win, we'll leave for life. There's a catch, however. We want this done inside a...STEEL CAGE. Men's manhoods are at stake now. If we're going to lose, we're going to do so as men. Enough of the woman. Enough of the soap opera B.S. It's a man's fight now. Narcissistic Ned exits. VENTURA Unbelieveable! The New New Midnight Express have challenged to the Heavenly Rockers to a match, where if the Midnights lose, they say they'll leave the OAOAST for life. And they want it inside a STEEL CAGE! I'm being told through my earpiece that pretty boy Matthews is with the Heavenly Rockers in their dressing room. Joshie? CUT TO: Heavenly Rockers and Holly-Wood celebrating in the dressing room with a bottle of champagne. Loud rock 'n' roll music playing in the background. JOSH I can barely hear you, Jesse, but thank you. Holly, congratulations on the big win. HOLLY A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. LOGAN And all Ned's gonna be doin' tonight is his right hand. SYNTH (slurred speech) A jack-off jacking off! LOGAN Excuse the Synthmeister, Josh, he gets drunk easily. JOSH I'm sure the party has just begun. But I was with you guys as you heard the challenged issued by the New New Midnight Express. They want you two inside a steel cage next week. LOGAN Did they say they'd leave for life, J-Math? JOSH For life. LOGAN There's nothing more I'd like in the world -- besides having Holly by my side, of course -- than seeing the New New Midnight Express and their con-artist manager Jim Cornette out of the OAOAST. I don't know about you guys, but something sounds fishy here, don't you think? SYNTH Yeah, yeah, yeah. 'Em pussies gonna be gone fishin' next week! LOGAN I like the sound of that. What about you, Holly? HOLLY If it means bye-bye Neddy, then... Na, na, na, na, na, na... a-hey, hey... GOODBYE! LOGAN That settles it. You boys wanna fight like men? Let's fight like men. For the final time ever, the Heavenly Rockers vs. New New Midnight Express. SYNTH CAAAAAAAGE MATCH! JOSH What an announcement, fans. Next week on HeldDOWN, for the last time ever -- the New New Midnight Express vs. the Heavenly Rockers inside a STEEL CAGE! If the Heavenly Rockers win, then the New New Midnight Express will LEAVE the OAOAST. Next week will be rockin', guys. Back to you at Sofa Central.

I'll be posting a couple of post-match promos later. COLE Narcissistic Ned vs. Holly-Wood is coming up next. Split-screen: Tony Schiavone in the locker room with the New New Midnight Express and Jim Cornette; Josh Matthews at the backstage interview position with Holly-Wood and the Heavenly Rockers. COLE (CONT'D) But before we go to the ring, Tony Schiavone and Josh Matthews are standing by with the people involved. Let's hear some last minute comments from Narcissisitic Ned and Holly-Wood. We'll start first with Tony Schiavone, who's with Narcissistic Ned. Tony? CUT TO: Tony and Ned in the locker room. Sarcastic Simon and Jim Cornette, both men dressed to the nines in tuxedos -- a flamboyant tuxedo in Corny's case, breaking out the black and gold longtail tux -- also in the room. SCHIAVONE Along with Narcissistic Ned, I'm also joined by Sarcastic Simon and Jim Cornette. Ned, you've been waiting for this opportunity for quite some time now. For months we've seen you on OAOAST chasing Holly, and despite her many rejections you've kept hounding and hassling her and the Heavenly Rockers. Tonight it all ends one way or the other. If you win, Holly must sleep with you. If she wins, however, then you must stay out of her and the Heavenly Rockers affairs. NED It wasn't rejection, Tony, rather a classic game of hard to get. George Washington, J.F.K., and Martin Luther King all fought for man. I join them tonight in fighting for man and for the hand of the lovely Ms. Holly-Wood. You see, Holly, honey bunny, the sexual tension between has finally reached its climax. I see that twinkle in your eye when you hear my name. You want me. Who can blame you? Every woman wants a piece of the Ned-man. But only a select few have that opportunity. Of course those women didn't step inside a ring to fight for that honor, but I'll go along with your foreplay request. And that's what our match really is -- foreplay. The real funs begins after hours at the Hilton. SCHIAVONE You act like this is a foregone conclusion. NED It is. SCHIAVONE (CONT'D) Let me remind you, Holly is a former Women's Champion. She knows how to handle herself in the ring. NED I don't deny that. But I also don't deny she's in for one rough night. Don't worry, baby, I won't need your face to have fun with you when we're on that king size bed. The springs have been reinforced. The champagne is on ice. You're probably on the pill, so I'll just throw out the rubbers. After I pin you, we'll go straight to the hotel and room 469. Love conquers all. And we'll be conquering each other. See ya in the ring, then in the hotel, sweetcheeks. Ned and company exit. SCHIAVONE Let's go to Josh Matthews with Holly-Wood. CUT TO: Josh Matthews with Holly-Wood and the Heavenly Rockers at the backstage interview position (a OAOAST backdrop). Logan and Holly standing side-by-side, his arm around her. He's the nervous one. JOSH Thank you, Tony Schiavone. I'm standing here with the woman who will face Narcissistic Ned in a matter of moments, Holly-Wood. Holly, we're just seconds away from without question the biggest match of your life. If you beat Ned he promises to leave you and the Heavenly Rockers alone forever. What are your thoughts heading into this big match? HOLLY My only thought is kicking Ned's ass! That son-of-a-bitch has put me and the people I care for through hell. Why? Just because I won't sleep with him. What kind of a reason is that? When I go to bed at night, I think to myself: "What would have happened if this had occurred in the WWE?" We'd probably be feuding over spilled coffee, thus saving me 8 months of hell. SYNTH But the OAOAST knows how to bring the drama for everyone and their mama. HOLLY Cancel the hotel reservations, Neddy, because after tonight I'll never have to deal with you again. And once I'm done with you, Ned, then I'm moving on to Jim Cornette. Outside of Ned, Cornette has been a thorn in my side. Well, Jamie, if you try any funny business I got a little something just for you. The nightmare ends tonight! Then it's onto winning the World tag team championship. Count on it. SYNTH Deal with that ya'll mutha'f...! JOSH Let's go to the ring. BUFFER The following contest is set for one fall. Under the rules agreed upon by both participants, if Narcissistic Ned wins he will get Holly-Wood for the night; if Holly wins then Ned must leave her and the Heavenly Rockers alone forever. And, ladies and gentlemen, I have just been informed that the respective parties for each competitor have been BANNED from ringside! COLE Excellent call by our new General Manager. COACH Awww. What kind of a threat is Jim Cornette? COLE That tennis racket of his is. BUFFER Introducing first, from Beverly Hills, California, weighing 240 pounds, "the Handsome Hustler" Narcissistic Ned! "Chase" hits, the crowd rising to their feet and booing the appearance of a solo Narcissistic Ned. The Handsome Hustler walks to the ring with a swagger, climbing up the ring steps and swing over the top rope and landing perfectly on both feet in the ring. He walks over to a corner, making an "X" with his forearms, and removes his silver NNMX vest. He faces the entranceway, stretching his arms and legs. BUFFER And his opponent. From Hollywood, California, weighing enough to kick your ass, Arista Records publicist for the greatest rock 'n' wrestling band of all-time, the Heavenly Rockers...HOLLY-WOOOOOD! "YEEEAAAHHH!" We cut backstage, where Holly is stopped at the gorilla position by Logan Mann. LOGAN Hey, uh, Holly...I, um, wanted to do this in private, but, you know... Aw, damn, why must I suck at letting my feelings be known? I can write a song about sex, drugs and roll 'n' roll, but I can't express my feelings to you. HOLLY Then write a song and tell me. LOGAN I thought of that, but it seems too WWE. I wanted this to be a special moment just between you and me, but then I remembered how much you love watching "A Wedding Story" on TLC, and with all the camers around, it may be kinda fun to do it like that. Unlike Synth, this is my first time doing this. I've been wanting to give you this since last week, but everytime I tell myself to suck it up and just give it to you, well, you know, the butterflies get to me. (takes deep breath) Look, I don't know what's going to happen in the next 5, 10, however many minutes it takes for your match, but whatever the outcome, I want you to know I...I... HOLLY (happily) Yes? LOGAN (CONT'D) ...want to give this to you now. Here you go. Logan hands Holly a gift-wrapped heart-shaped box. Holly gasps, her eyes lighting up. She tears apart the gift-wrap and opens the box. She pulls out... ...a RING. But not the ring she was expecting. HOLLY (disappointed) Oh. LOGAN It's a friendship ring. Friends forever. HOLLY I just had a flashback to a Saved by the Bell epsiode there. LOGAN Heh. Synth's been in the back watching his VHS copies. HOLLY Didn't he buy the DVD box set? LOGAN Yeah, but he says Dustin Diamond asked to borrow it and never returned it. So, uh, do you like the ring. I couldn't help to notice you seemed a bit disappointed. HOLLY Oh, no. I love it. Love it, love it, love it. Thank you. Kiss. :wub: TERRY TAYLOR (Off-Screen) Come on, Holly, we don't have all night. HOLLY & LOGAN Shut up, rooster! HOLLY Well, I better go. LOGAN Yeah. Holly climbs up the stairs. LOGAN Holly. HOLLY Yeah? LOGAN Before you go out there I want you to know that I...I... HOLLY Got me another present? LOGAN No. I, um... Good luck out there, girl. Heh. I should really come up with some cute nickname for you. I know you hated the last one. HOLLY Calling a woman "bitch," no matter how much love it's intended to have, doesn't exactly make a girl feel warm and fuzzy on the inside. LOGAN Yeah, I know. Good luck. I'll -- We'll be watching. The two kiss and Holly leaves for the ring. We cut back to the arena and Holly walks out onstage to a huge ovation, looking focused as ever. As she nears the ring, Narcissistic Ned rushes over and holds the ropes up for her. Holly walks away and tries entering from another side of the ring, but she is once again met by Ned. COLE Ned stalking Holly. Why can't that narcissistic bastard understand she doesn't want him? Holly ingores Ned's gesture and walks over to another side of the ring. And Ned meets her there, too. Holly finally loses her cool -- flipping Ned off to a loud pop. Narcissistic Ned throws his hands up and shrugs, backing away from the ropes. CABOOSE Why did she have to do that? The guy's trying to be a gentleman, but she isn't responding like a lady. Holly removes her leather biker jacket and tosses it aside, sliding underneath the bottom rope and loosening up in the corner -- jogging in place, pulling back on the ropes, etc. With both competitors in netural corners, Nick Patrick calls for the bell. * DING DING * They both walk up to the center of the ring. Narcissistic Ned acting like his usual arrogant self. The two exchange words, with Ned playfully squeezing Holly's left cheek. She sarcastically smiles, then grits her teeth and decks Ned with a forearm smash! Holly floats back to the corner after having stung like a bee. Ned, eyes wide, uses the ropes to pull himself up to a knee, massaging his jaw. "YOU GOT SERVED!" "YOU GOT SERVED!" "YOU GOT SERVED!" COLE It's been awhile since we've heard that chant. CABOOSE I could've waited awhile longer. Blanchard rises to his feet, shaking off the cobwebs. Embarrssed, Narcissistic Ned leaps to the center of the ring, stomping the mat with both feet, telling Holly to come over and lockup. COLE Ned very eager to lockup. CABOOSE I'd be eager, too, if Holly were my opponent. COACH We're gonna see how rough Holly likes it now. Collar-and-elbow tie-up, Narcissistic Ned going behind and riding Holly like a mechanical bull, smiling as he blows in her ear. Holly stuns Blanchard with a reverse elbow to the right temple and countering the waistlock into a hammerlock. It doesn't take Narcissistic Ned long to counter into a hammerlock of his own. Twisting the arm, Blanchard makes sure to keep his head pressed against Holly's back, making sure she wouldn't be able to connect with any more back elbows. Holly sticks her right leg between Ned's and takes him down to the mat with a drop toehold, then floats over the top into a front facelock. Blanchard pops back to his feet, backing Holly-Wood in the corner, pressing all his weight against her. Nick Patrick asking for a clean break. Ned lowers his head, placing his forarms on Holly's chest. He slowly raises his head up and then JIGGLES Holly's breasts. "OOOOOOOOOOO!" Ned backs away, smirking. COACH I guess we're still in the "feeling out" period, fellas. Holly scowls. She SPITS her wad of GUM in Ned's face and SLAPS him. That's only the beginning of her onslaught. She SPEARS Ned to the mat and buries the knee into the groin, hammering the Handsome Hustler with hard forearm smashes to the face. Ned grabs Holly by the throat and SLAPS her. COACH Ha! That gets her off. COLE Would you stop! You've spent the past two weeks spouting off one-liners with double meanings. Call the damn match. CABOOSE Looks who's talking. Narcissistic Ned measures up and viciously kicks Holly in the ribs, stomping her on the back of the head as she rolls away. Ned drops down and CHOKES Holly, using his free hand to SLAP her. "You want him over me, bitch?" Ned says, shaking uncontrollably as he continues choking Holly. Nick Patrick physically pulls Ned off Holly. Blanchard gets up and shoves Patrick, who immediately warns of a DQ if Ned gets too physical. Holly picks herself up in the corner. Blanchard nailing her from behind with a running knee to the spine of the back that sends the Arista Records publicst crashing sternum-first into the corner. Holly rests her head on the top turnbuckle, moaning. Ned grabs Holly's hand, locating the index finger and... COLE Ned BITING Holly's finger! COACH Uh, Mikey, he's not biting her finger. COLE Then what is that bastard doing? COACH He's... ...SUCKING HOLLY'S FINGER! COLE How disgusting! Not only has Narcissistic Ned fondled Holly in this match, he's getting...pardon me...kinky. Holly GOUGES the eyes, Ned quickly responding with a shot to the gut. He pulls Holly out of the corner just to throw her back in. Ned steps back and goes all Karate Kid on us, getting in his karate stance and kicking Holly in her temples with both feet. J.R. Van Dam-- I mean, Narcissistic Ned punishing Holly-Wood with those edcuated feet. Pointing in the air, Blanchard takes a giant step back. Sidekick-- No, Holly catches Ned's foot coming in! The crowd -- and Ned, for that matter -- waiting for Holly to make her move. Ned putting his hands together, begging the crowd to reason with Holly. The crowd full of sinners roar in approval as Holly-Wood takes Ned over with a DRAGON SCREW LEGWHIP! Blanchard getting up holding his knee. Holly off the ropes with a dropkick to that very knee. Holly tries whipping Ned to the ropes, but his knee gives out. Narcissistic Ned waistlocked, Holly lifting him up in the air and dropping the Handsome Hustler on his tailbone on her knee. Inverted atomic drop. Ned freezes, wincing in pain. Another inverted atmoic drop. Holly takes Ned up for a third. Ned jumping in place from the pain, then grabs his knee. COACH Poor Handsome Hustler. First the knee, then the family jewels, and back to the knee again. COLE Somehow I doubt you'll find a lot of concern folks for Narcissistic Ned. Holly hits the ropes and levels Ned with a clothesline. She picks him up by the hair and successively rams him into the top turnbuckle. ONE... TWO... THREE... FOUR... FIVE... SIX... SEVEN... EIGHT... NINE... Holly puts her BOOT up on the top turnbuckle... ...TEN! Ned stumbles out of the corner, groggy, and drops on all-fours, placing his forehead on the mat due to exhaustion. Holly gives the Handsome Hustler a taste of his own medicine, kicking him in the ribs. Narcissistic Ned rolls to the corner, clutching his ribs. Holly brings him to his feet and shoves him into the corner. She rubs her hands seductively on Ned's chest. HOLLY Do you like that, baby? NED (smiling) Oh, yeah. Give it to me all, honey bunny. Holly stops rubbing Ned's chest, his eyes widening as he sees Holly bring her hand back and then forward. * CHOP * "WHOOOOOOOOOO!" Ned grabbing his chest, crying out. Holly punches him in the gut, causing Ned to lower his guard. * CHOP * "WHOOOOOOOOOO!" * CHOP * "WHOOOOOOOOOO!" Blanchard whipped across the ring. He bounces hard out of the corner and straight into a bodydrop! He crawls to the ropes and pulls himself up. He turns around and... ...Holly CLOTHESLINES him over the top to the floor! Holly-Wood powerwalks around the ring, slapping the ropes with enthusiasm. She steps out on the apron, placing her finger across her mouth, asking the fans to stay quiet as attempts to catch Ned by surprise. The only person caught by surprise is Holly, herself, as the Handsome Hustler catches her diving off the apron and RAMS her back-first into the RINGPOST! COLE Oh, my God! Holly may be hurt. She may be seriously hurt. She tried coming off the apron with a diving clothesline, but Ned caught her mid-air and drove her into the ringpost. I'm not sure if she can recover from this. This may be too much for her to overcome. CABOOSE High-risk, high reward. If she would've hit the move chances are she could have thrown Ned back into the ring and finish him off. Heh, I sounded like Coachman there for a minute. But now it's gonna be Narcissistic Ned who finishes Holly. COLE I understand we have footage from the back of Holly's boyfriend, Logan Mann, reacting from what we just saw. [b]MOMENTS AGO[/b] [i]A small box appears in the left-hand corner of the screen. Logan and Synth watching from the monitor in their dressing room. Logan lowers his head into both hands as Holly is drilled into the ringpost. Synth tries keeping him upbeat by patting him on the back.[/i] COLE This has gotta be tough on Logan, only being able to watch from the sidelines. COACH Oh, man, this is great. Not only will he finish her off now, but he'll be finishing off on her -- or in her, because we know how Holly likes it -- later tonight. You think the Ned-man would let me watch. We're close, you know. COLE What the hell is wrong with you?! Are you sexually repressed or something? If you keep acting like this pretty soon it'll be Jerry Lawler sitting in your chair. COACH No, no. Not Lawler. I'll be good. I'll be good. COLE Holly tossed back in. She tries buying herself some time by rolling across the ring and falling to the floor. Narcissistic Ned just getting back in himself. Now he has to walk all the way to the other side and stepping back out. Holly picked up by her hair, Ned copping a feel as he places her on the apron. Narcissistic Ned slides back in and pulls Holly up on the apron. COLE Don't tell me he's gonna... COACH Yes! DOUBLE UNDERHOOK SUPLEX from the ring apron back inside the ring! Narcissistic Ned rolls through and puts Holly in a sitting double underhook. Nick Patrick asking Holly if she wants to quit, prompting a "HELL, NO!" "YEEEAAAHHH!" "Oh, she wants me," Ned tells Nick Patrick, who looks back at him with a whatever-type of expression on his face. Nick wipes the sweat off his brow and asks Holly again. He gets the same reply and now just waits and see along with the rest of us. Holly turns the other cheek, grimacing, as Ned KISSES her on her neck. COLE What arrogance from Narcissistic Ned. COACH Come on, Mikey. Look at Tommy Lee. That dude has banged Heather-freaking-Locklear and Pamala Anderson. Chicks dig bad boys. COLE Both of those marriages ended in divorce. CABOOSE And a case of Hepatitis C for Pam. The fans clap and stomp their feet in support of Holly. "HOLLY!" "HOLLY!" "HOLLY!" The crowd support and Ned's taking liberties fires Holly up. She rises up to a knee. Then a second. Sensing he's in danger Narcissistic Ned throws KNEES to Holly's face. She switching putting her knees up to lessen the impact of the blow. Unfortunately for Ned, the knee that got worked over earlier in the match collides with Holly's, allowing her to take him up and over -- all of Holly's weight crashing down on top of him. CABOOSE That's the move Larry Zbyszko used to beat Lord Steven Regal with at Slamboree 1994. I remember this vividly because England went into a brief depression after that and when his Lordship lost the World Television Title. COLE It's a test of strength now. Can Holly hold on? ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! COLE Oh, my! Blanchard just managed to break free. Narcissistic Ned is the first to get back to his feet. He charges Holly with his arm outstretched, but Holly ducks under and hits the ropes, taking Blanchard off his feet with a SPINNING HEEL KICK! Narcissistic Ned quickly rises to his feet -- but Holly rolls him up in a SMALL PACKAGE. ONE... TWO... TH-- KICKOUT! COLE The crowd gasps again, as Holly was half-a-count away from riding herself and the Heavenly Rockers of Narcissistic Ned endless overtures forever. Ned taken off his feet again, this time courtest of a shoulderblock. Holly dives on top, but Blanchard kicks out at two. Holly-Wood hits the far side of the ring, picking up a full head of steam and connecting perfectly with CROSS BODYBLOCK! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, KICKOUT! Side headlock takeover, Ned scissoring the head, keeping Holly's head stuff down near his crotch. Holly rolls over and loosens the tight grip the Handsome Hustler has on her, getting to a vertical base and spinning around. She floats on top of Blanchard. The crowd "oohing" and "aahing" as Narcissistic Ned BRIDGES UP and goes for a BACKSLIDE -- but Holly flips back over, grabs a front facelock and hits PERCUSSION (DDT)! Ned's head bouncing off the mat, but more importantly, his body landing near the ropes. Holly crawls over and covers Ned, hooking the near leg. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, FOOT ON THE ROPES! COACH (deep breathe) I don't know how much longer the crowd has before they pass out. I don't know how much longer I have. COLE Oh! Holly was just ONE FOOT away from having her 8 month long nightmare come to an end. CABOOSE When your adreanline mixes with emotion it leads to mental mistakes. And that's what we just saw. Instead of hooking the the far leg, the one closest to the ropes, she hooked the near. It allowed Ned to put the foot on the rope. I think she took Percussion for granted. Every wrestler has their go-to move, the one that once you hit you know it's over. Percussion is more of a luxery to Holly considering she prefers the Hollywood Groove or Rodeo Driver, but when you take into consideration that she trains with the Heavenly Rockers, who may have the best DDT in the sport, you know she knows how to use it. Holly scoopes Ned up and slams him in the center of the ring. She points to the top, taking a moment to soak in the cheers from the fans, and mocks Narcissistic Ned by STUTTER-STRUTING to the corner. From the inside of the ring and her back facing Ned, Holly starts climbing up to the top. Narcissistic Ned gets up holding the top of his head, and catches Holly going up, pounding the back of her neck with forearms. Blanchard positions himself on the middle rope and BACK SUPLEXES Holly to the mat! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! Holly just gets the shoulder up. Ned now zooming in on the back, wearing it down for his Slingshot Suplex. Blanchard driving the knee repeatedly in the spine of the back, wrenching on the neck. In pain, Holly refuses to quit. There's too much riding on this to quit. She summons for the crowd, stomping the heel of her boot on the mat. The cheers get Holly going. She fights back to her feet, throwing a couple of elbows in the ribs of Ned. She tries whipping him to the ropes, but Ned stays in control by reeling Holly back in by her hair. Ned drops Holly with an elbow to the back. Blanchard calls for the SLINGSHOT SUPLEX. He hits it! But instead of covering Holly, he picks her up and places her in a BEARHUG. He stuffs his head between Holly's breasts, shaking her wildly, THRUSTING UP, smiling. COLE Ah, this guy is a world-class ass-- I'm sorry, fans. I shouldn't be talking like that, but Ned -- the man's a class-A jerk. He had her beat, but instead of getting the 1-2-3 he wants to dish out some more pain. COACH I've never seen a more exciting bearhug in my life. I saw it right there! COLE She didn't quit. COACH I know. I saw her say, "Take me here, Ned. Take me right now. I want you, Neddy Bear." COLE The hell she did! "HOLLY!" "HOLLY!" "HOLLY!" COLE The fans won't let Holly give up. But she's beginning to go down. COACH ... COLE Don't. COACH :( Nick Patrick raises Holly's arm up once. It goes down. Twice. It goes down again. COLE If it falls here, it's over. NO! Holly keeps the arm up. She fights out of the bearhug with forearms to the face. She hits the ropes for some steam, ducking under a leapfrog. Ned caught coming off the ropes with a hip toss. Lateral press. ONE... KICKOUT! COLE It was nearly over there. Ned takes Holly to the canvas with a double-leg takedown. Ned sliding down Holly, pinning her in a very compromising position! COACH I've seen guys be pinned like that before. Get your head out of the gutter, Michael Cole. ONE... SHOULDER UP! Holly got the shoulder up. Still in that compromising position, Ned then holds down Holly's left hand. ONE... SHOULDER UP AGAIN! Now Ned holds both hands down. ONE... TWO... NO! COLE Oh, what great strength. Holly BRIDGING UP ON HER NECK with all of Ned's weight down on top of her. COACH Later tonight, not only will Ned be on top of her, he'll be in her! COLE :angry: COACH I'm sorry. I had to say. Ned jumps up and crashes all his weight down on Holly. ONE... TWO... NO! Holly bridges out. Ned jumps back up...and lands on Holly's SHINS! Holly rolls back and front facelocks Ned. RODEO DRIVER, twisting fisherman's suplex! COLE THIS IS IT! ONE... COLE No, I take that back. Competitiors are jixed when the announcer says that. COACH No, you're right, Mikey. It's over. TWO... TH-- NO, KICKOUT! COACH :lol: Holly scoopes him up and slams Ned in the center of the ring. She goes up to the top, her back facing Ned. COLE I sure hope she knows what she's doing here. It didn't work out for her last time. As Holly balances herself on the top, Ned gets up and waits for here to come off. Holly leaps backwards, and Ned catches her in mid-air and has her set for a TOMBSTONE PILDRIVER. But instead of spiking her in the mat, he wastes his time making sexual gestures -- sticking his tongue out, etc. COLE What an ass! COACH It sure is. I wonder if its tan or pale. A couple of the boys and I were wondering about that. COLE You're an ass too. Still showboating, Holly HEADBUTTS Ned upside down in the GROIN! She keeps doing so until she's able to roll Ned over in a modified victory roll, and gets back to her feet, the crowd cheering wildly as she puts Ned in the HOLLYWOOD GROOVE, a/k/a the Liontamer! COLE SHE HAS IT LOCKED IN! SHE HAS IT ON! Ned's gonna quit. Sarcastic Simon and Jim Cornette rush out from the back to aid Ned. COLE Wait a minute. They're supposed to be banned from ringside. What the hell are they doing out here? We need security out here, damnit! "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" COLE Oh, yeah! We got some heavy security coming out here with the permission of our esteem General Manager. COACH This is a disgrace! THE HEAVENLY ROCKERS catch up with Singleton and Cornette. Synth and Logan bring Simon and James E. together. DOUBLE COCONUT! Seeing what has happened on the AngleTron, Narcissistic Ned can no longer hold on and GIVES UP! * DING DING DING DING * "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Holly lets go. Narcissistic Ned rolls out of the ring, holding his back. A group of women jumping out of their ringside seats, crying in joy. COLE SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT! Holly has freed herself and the Heavenly Rockers from that jerk Narcissistic Ned! The Heavenly Rockers embrace Holly mid-ring. The 3 sharing a group hug. Synth leaves Holly and Logan alone, the two taking a much deserved moment to kiss. They hug. The crowd continuing to cheer like crazy in the background. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the winner...HOLLY-WOOOOOD! Narcissistic Ned must now stay out of Holly's and the Heavenly Rockers' affairs FOR...EVER! "YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" The New New Midnight Express and Jim Cornette strike from behind. Holly going down from a Jim Cornette TENNIS RACKET shot. Synth thrown over the top. The Midnights working over Logan. Blanchard picks Mann up and holds him for Cornette. Cornette taps the racket on the mat and cocks it back and... * BOOM * ...nails NARCISSISTIC NED! Logan ducked! Synth slides back into the ring catches a shock Sarcastic Simon by surprise with a kick to the gut and places him in a front facelock. Logan reels Ned in. A double case of PERCUSSION (DDT)! They then turn their attention to Jim Cornette. James E. putting both hands up, begging for mercy. He doesn't know Holly-Wood is standing behind him. He keeps backing away. Still backing...backing... * BUMP * He turns around -- knee to the gut. Cornette doubles over, Holly locking him in a front facelock. She twirls his finger in the air, signaling for... ...PERCUSSION! "YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" But she isn't done yet. She asks the fans if she should do it again. COACH Don't these people have any compassion? PERCUSSION! One more? "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" PERCUSSION! COACH James E. might be hurt. COLE Oh, that's too bad. I'll be sure to say a prayer for him tonight. COACH (sarcastically) How kind of you, M.C. The crowd pops loudly one more time, as "G's & Soliders" hits. Synth and Logan stand beside Holly, raising her hand in the air. The trio exit, slapping hands with their fans. They look over at the AngleTron and see the Midnights and Cornette laid out in the ring. COLE The nightmare is over. Holly-Wood and the Heavenly Rockers are free. I'm sure they're gonna have a big bash later tonight. HeldDOWN continutes after these words from our sponsers.

All I know is the new GM is debuting this week. What else? Reading the ME of LTP, which was excellent, BTW, it suggests I should do something with CWM but I'm not sure where to go. I'm thinking backstage segment "recorded after LTP" with them getting into it again, maybe with punches thrown. Zack, NYU -- you guys are the key players with the Upstarts/Originals feud, so if either of you guys could fill me in on what's going down this week, please do.

NWA 1989 -- Awesome roster to work with, singles and tag WCW 1992 -- I'm a huge fan of WCW in this time period. Sure, they made some mistakes, like everybody who ran the promotion did, but they still had some great talent. WCW 1997 -- Many botched opportunities. WWF 2001 -- For the invasion.

I agree. Ventura was great with everybody he worked with, kept them on their toes throughout. Another classic Ventura moment was during the Hollywood Blondes-Ric Flair/Arn Anderson Clash 23 match, which sadly got edited out of the Austin DVD, where he cracks up when Austin makes fun of Arn's belly.

I'd like to call the main event of the 8-18 show. I'm open to giving it up if somebody has something major planned that night.

Holly-Wood vs. Narcissistic Ned

A civil transition of power! Well done. That cliffhanger before the break was AWESOME! The whole Cow gag was great. Popick's use of graphics have made for some hilarious moments in recent weeks. The women's division continues to bring the goods. With the lack of matches this week, at least the match was long. Crystal's return was handled well. Calvin's "great grandmother" line cracked me up. PK came off really good here to, showing what kind of a champion that he is by wanting to wrestle just 4 days after being involved in a grueling UX match. Aw, poor Lee. Wakes up the skipper of the O's, finds himself doing custodial work at night. The OAOAST has a "Deep Throat," sorta. Great Alf promo. Enjoyed the Rodez/Jade/Angels segment. LOL at VX coming out as Parka and then dissing the guy. The whole Upstarts/Originals feud really picked up during Dan's promo. It could lead to a number of different things. Hoff wins? No! The people wanted Alf, man. Politics! Good TV ME.

To finish up... Having basically become Alf's #1 supporter since his return, it's no surprise that I thought the Heartland Title match was very good. I liked how it started with wrestling and broke down into a brawl towards the end. Good stuff. Damn good Bounty match, maybe Match of the Night. SJ/Cow, Widow/Lillith, Parka/X were all short but entertaining matches. The Cow graphic was funny. One thing you can't knock Ed on, is he brings the content. Finished.

The show is up in Home Entertainment. I'm so damn tired after having to juggle so many things. Out of my 3 + years posting shows, LTP was by far the hardest I've had to work putting together a PPV, and without question the one I'm most proudest of. Hopefully you all enjoy the show. Papacita once again did a fantastic job with the graphics.

The crowd rise to their feet as HOLLY-WOOD & LOGAN MANN appear onstage, aruging. Synth tries playing peacemaker to no avail. Logan grabs Holly's arm, begging her to return backstage, but she frees herself from his grip and continues marching to the ring, ignoring the words coming out of his mouth. COLE We know Holly asked for some interview time tonight, and I can only imagine the toll the past 4 days have taken on her personal and professional relationship with the Heavenly Rockers. Everyone who caught License to Pin live on pay-per-view saw a woman hop over the security railing and throw paint, which was contained inside a cup, in Holly's face. As Logan attended to his girlfriend, Narcissistic Ned nailed him from behind with the 90210 enzurigi. We don't know who this woman was, except that she was charged with disorderly conduct and released on bail. And if that wasn't enough, guys, I've been told her records -- mugshot, police report, ect. -- were "mistakenly destroyed" hours after bail. COACH They're an embarrassment to the union, M.C. COLE Canada isn't apart of the United States, Coach. COACH After what you just reported, I'm glad they're not. Freeloading Canadians. COLE There's something really [i]corny[/i] about the whole situation, that's for sure. Holly grabs the microphone from Michael Buffer. HOLLY This has got to stop, and it has to stop now! I can't live like this anymore! The past 8 months have been pure hell for me physically and emotionally. I've experienced both heartache and just recently the gift of love from my friendship with Logan blossoming... COACH Blossom?! Whoa! COLE About two people picked up on that reference. HOLLY (CONT'D) ...into love. And it's because of that love that I'm willing to risk everything for this nightmare to finally end. So, Ned, bring your self-serving, self-centered, self-righteous, narcissistic ass out here right now. There's something I want to say to you, asshole! "YEEEEAAAAHHHH!" CABOOSE Apparently she didn't get the word we're no longer on pay-per-view. Holly paces, waiting for Ned to appear. The crowd BOOS as Narcissistic Ned steps out onto the rampway, a smug look on his face. Sarcastic Simon and Jim Cornette there for moral support. "ASS-HOLE!" "ASS-HOLE!" "ASS-HOLE!" CORNETTE If you morons don't shut up, you won't get the pleasure of seeing an athlete currently performing at his highest possible level without the aid of performance enhancers. "BOOOOOOOOOO!" NED Holly, it's never been my intention to cause you pain. You talk about how the past 8 months have been hell for you; it's been the same way for me. Every night I dream of us strolling down the beach holding hands and kissing like true lovebirds. It's said "love conquers all." Well, I'm ready to conquer because I love you, honey bunny. HOLLY How dare you say that you love me, you bastard! How could a man who supposedly loves a woman beat her up and put her life through misery on worldwide television? You're a voyeur, Ned. You don't love me. All you want to do is...(pointing at BUTT)...hit this and leave like you did to Krista 5 years ago. NED Well, okay, maybe I don't love you love you, but I do want to conquer you. I've wanted to since the first day we met last year. Now, I admit, I did some pretty rough stuff to you earlier this year, but it's only because I read in FHM Magazine that you liked it a bit rough. You like it when your lover pulls on your hair and talks dirty to you. I like it when my woman digs her fingernails into my back, singing a heavenly chorus as Dick Johnson sings in the rain. HOLLY What a piece of work you are, Ned. You've been putting me and the my I love through hell just because I turned you down. That's sad. But like I said, I'm willing to risk everything to end this once and for all. So I tell you what. You want to conquer me, Ned? You what to...(pointing at her BUTT)..."hit" this? Ned smiles, nodding. HOLLY (pushing Logan away) No, Logan, I gotta do this. For us. For the band. (to Ned) What I propose -- ever heard of [i]that[/i] word Logan? -- is a match next week. The Handsome Hustler versus...the Angel of Death. COLE What?! Holly's just challenge Narcissistic Ned to a match next week! COACH Well, she is a former Women's Champion. HOLLY You'll get your chance to "hit" it next week, stud. That is, if you can beat me on-on-one. But if I win, then you'll agree to leave me and the Heavenly Rockers alone forever. Logan crotches, placing his hands in his face. Simon and Jim are just as shocked as Logan and the rest of the crowd. NED (laughing) Wait a minute. So you're saying if I beat you, you'll sleep with me? HOLLY Glad to know you can hear. Yeah, you heard me right. NED And you'd enjoy it, right? No crying or anything? Holly falls backwards and spreads her legs, giving us a wonderful shot that would be censored on UPN. COACH PANTY SHOT~! HOLLY Hell, honey, not only would I enjoy it, but you can bang me in this very ring in front of a national television audience for all I care. COLE I think the FCC would have a problem with that. NED Get out of my dreams and into my bed. You're on, woman. I only ask of one thing, honey bunny. Come prepared because you're in store for the single greatest night of passion that'll make the hardest of hardcore movies look like softcore porn on Cinemax. Until next week, think of your Neddy Bear. I know I'll be thinking of you. Narcissistic Ned and Logan have a super INTENSE~ staredown. Holly gets in front of Logan and hugs him. He still can't believe what Holly has done. COLE You heard it, fans. Next week -- Holly-Wood vs. Narcissistic Ned! If Ned wins, Holly will give her body to him. COACH I guess it's fair to say Holly's in for some...stiff...competition next week. Bwahahaha! COLE Oh, shut up! CABOOSE Tune in next week when the OAOAST turns into XPW.

DD is my month anyway, so yeah, we'll do it from Fenway. And there'll be no mats at ringside.

After reading what Eski wrote, best to put this one before. [b]RECORDED AFTER LICENSE TO PIN[/b] Jesse "The Body" Ventura stands outside the dressing room of The Original Elite, a microphone in his right hand. Chattering in the background. Various personnel coming and going. Along comes Tony Brannigan, drenched in sweat and holding the back of his neck from the Pollycutter he took. Jesse sees him coming his way and gets ready. BYSTANDER Great match, Ton'. TONY I lost, idiot! Ventura is stunned when Tony brushes him off, instead going right into the dressing room. He goes right for CWM. TONY (shoves CWM) CWM, you son of a bitch! You cost me the World Title. You cost me the World Title!!! CWM remains claim, letting his fellow T.O.E. member vent. OAOAST officials quickly arrive and keep the two apart. Brannigan is taken out of the room, still shouting and saying some naughty words that are bleeped. CWM just looks on, COLE We're back live on TSM, and what incredible footage shot after License to Pin. The Original Elite breaking up in front of our very eyes. CABOOSE Good riddance! COACH Just before License to Pin the Elite signed for a World Tag Team Title match for sometime this month. What does this it mean for that? COLE I'm sure we'll find out as time passes. But we still have more to come. Like right now!

The tag division will be getting beefed up over the next few months. One team will be returning, maybe 3 debuting, so it depends on what you have in mind and what Zack & KC have planned for the tag titles. Zack/Rodez is a pretty good combo. Black/SJ vs. GPX is a good idea. The beating would bring Black T together again.

Promo from the Heavenly Rockers/Holly-Wood More drama between CWM and Tony Brannigan

Note: The intergender tag match has been edited into the show. Onto some feedback. After half-assing the opening for months, I finally did one I'm proud of. It continued to play up the James Bond factor (LTP named after Licence to Kill), and I tried to capture the mood of the WCW mini-movies with cheese and corny dialogue. And I finally got to use the multi-color BOOM NYU started using when he began co-producing the PPVs. I'm actually surprised at the feedback I've gotten for the opening tag match. I spent most of last week writing the DQ skit for HD, which ended up getting completely rewritten, leaving me 3 days to finish the tag match. You know the story by now. I got lazy and ended up having to write the entire match the day of the show, including all the segments with Schiavone and Ventura, and I felt the match suffered cause of it. The part where the NNMX work over the arm and then we go straight to the hot tag standing out the most. I thought the Hoff/Ausstin match was pretty damn good. HAPPY HAPPY HOSS DANCE! I've always wanted to write that. The street fight was great. Loved the DVD onto ring apron and Blackout off the top spots. Drek Stone and the GPX came off looking really strong at the end. What's left to be said about Ultimate X? It was awesome. And it went on second to last. You're welcome, guys. Minor correction: "Simply Ravishing" is Rude's second WCW theme. The great thing about it is, I don't believe there's any reference to Rude besides "Rude Awakening". I could be wrong, but it's been awhile since I've listened to the Slam Jam CD. Yes, I own it. Excellent main event. I apologize for not being able to help out. With everything I had to do that day, it worked out for the best. Will leave feedback for the rest later. LTP isn't cursed!

I don't know. CWM vs. Tony Brannigan? That would mean the demise of T.O.E., although the group is pretty much done with anyway. To setup the match I'd do a World Tag Team Title match on the August 18th edition of HD with CWM/Tony trying to settle their differences by bringing home the tag titles and have CWM Pollycutter me, costing us the match. If Zack is still going forward with the idea he told me about a couple months back, I guess it could work. BTW, Eski, what did you think of the idea I sent you? And Zack -- When are we doing the tag title switch?

I echo what bps said. I still remember us Mods (myself, bps, and I believe Brian and Kahran) running around unsure what was going on when you first came into power. You're a good guy. Enjoyed your TNA reviews. Good luck to you, man.

TV-14 L,V * DUN DUN DUN DUNNA, DUN DUN DUNNA * Across a river, over a bunch of mountains, through fields, sweeping past trees and bushes, hovering over the skyline of New York City, the OAOAST logo flies through the air...before sweeping down, brushing past an elderly man who seems understandably shocked to see six over-sized letters fly past him. The logo continues going, nearing a house...which luckily, a woman is leaving, meaning the logo can sweep through the open door, continuing on down the hallfway and into the living room where a young kid is sat on his computer. It sweeps past him, hitting the computer...which explodes with a flash, lighting up much to the kid shock and delight. THE OAOAST...WHAT THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD IS READING~! FADE IN: Michael Cole, in a suit and tie, strapped on a metal table, struggling to free himself. Lots of electrical crackling in the background. "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Taz (with one "Z" because he has the power of the black towel over his head), the Headshrinkers, THE SHOCKMASTER and ISSAC YANKEM, DDS (we put the wig and goatee on, baby) serve as guards! The room goes dark, a gold spotlight falling over Cole's body. He lifts his head and looks over his shoulder, a figure fastly approaching. MAN (Off-Screen.) Mikey, Mikey, Mikey! Cole recognizes the voice. COLE Coachman! The lights come back up, The Coach now standing next to Cole. COACH Great entrance, huh? COLE What's your gimmick, Coach? COACH Your typical black man driven by sex and greed. What about you, Michael? COLE ... COACH Lemme answer that for you. You're a horrible announcer. Once I get rid of you The Coach will be the new voice of the OAOAST. COLE Get rid of me? The Coach reaches up and pulls a curtain off an object hanging above Cole. COLE A LASER BEAM~! MACHO MAN Oh, yeah! Dig it?! COACH My own personal dentist, Issas Yankem, will use to always popular laser beam to "pull out," if you will, your vocal cords. COLE Is this gonna hurt? YANKEM, DDS (breathing heavily) A...lot. Heh Heh Heh Heh. Yankem mans the laser. He moves the barrel of the laser slowly up Cole's body, including an extended go-around Cole's groin region before targeting in on the throat area. He pulls it back. COACH There's your free preview, Mikey. The next time it's for real. COLE If it's between speaking now and forever holding my piece, well, I'll choose to speak now. I don't have much of a piece. COACH That's why I chose to go after your voice, stupid. Macho Man, what's next on The Coach's to-do list? MACHO MAN Uh-huh, yeah, let's see. (reading clipboard through Macho Glasses) Number 1: Becoming voice of the OAOAST? Check. Number 2: Tap Halle Berry's ass. Oh, yeah! Tap it! COACH (laughing) Tap it, indeed. Issac, start a-drilling, baby. It's time for The Coach to start thinking of that ass. COLE You're forgetting one thing! Since this is all about you being the voice of the OAOAST, if I don't show up, J.R. replaces me! COACH Not a chance. He's old and fat. Start 'er up, Kane-- I mean, Issac Yankem, DDS. The laser cranks up. COLE Well, he knows what I know! COACH You know nothing! COLE Oh, yeah? MACHO MAN Oh, yeah! COLE License to Pin. Gunner Sharps vs. CWM vs. Tony Brannigan vs. Axel for the World Title. The street fight between Zack Malibu and Dan Black. Ultimate X. #1 contender's match for the World Title at AngleSlam. Need I go further? COACH I already know that. COLE What the major announcement? COACH DAYUM~! You got me there, Mikey. What is it? COLE Not saying unless I'm taken to Sofa Central. COACH You won't talk? You don't wanna talk?! Looks like somebody is in store for a Tazmission. Taz! GLASS SHATTERS! And it isn't Stone Cold! Through the skylight comes... ...JESSE "THE BODY" VENTURA! Or more appropriately, "Commando" Jesse Ventura. VENTURA It's my way or the highway. The "guards" storm Ventura. The Shockmaster trips over a wire and knocks himself out on the edge of the metal table. The Macho Man breaks a hip running toward Ventura. Jesse takes care of the Headshrinkers by throwing a turkey carcass to them, which the Shrinkers tear up. Issac Yankem steps off the beam, raises his arms up and drops them down. Nothing. Yankem hangs his head and exits without a fight. It's down to Taz and Jesse. Taz pops his knuckles. Ventura and Taz meet face to face. TAZ Prepare to bleed, old man. VENTURA I ain't got time to bleed. TAZ Beat me if you can... Jesse removes the towel from Taz's head, leaving the Human Suplex Machine powerless. Ventura with a LOW BLOW, followed by a backhand slap and right cross. Taz is knocked into the laser beam, causing the beam to off-center and prematurely go off, shooting Cole in the eye! We see the entire room ‑- Cole screaming in pain, Yankem gone, the Headshrinkers sitting on the floor Indian-style still eating their turkey, the Shockmaster unconscious, Tazz laid out, and Jesse standing tall. The Coach quietly reappears, with an EVIL MIDGET. No, it's GARY F'N' COLEMAN! Coach swings Coleman like a baseball bat, missing Ventura's head and hitting the beam, saving Michael Cole from any further damage. "The Body" takes Coach out with an back elbow, sending Coach reeling back and cracking the camera with his skull. FADE TO: Blackness. A hard rock instrumental plays in the background, as a giant RUBIK's CUBE comes flying into view, clips of OAOAST superstars in action playing. THE OAOAST Presents... LICENSE TO PIN Starring...

VENTURA As only "The Body" can do it. Was my performance in the opening great or what, Schiavone? It was like a combination of young Brando and Eastwood. SCHIAVONE Who knows, maybe you'll be up for a Razzie next year. Jesse shoots Schiavone a damning look. SCHIAVONE There was a baseball game played here earlier today, but now the wrestling world turns its eye to the Skydome in Toronto, Canada. Hi again, everyone. Tony Schiavone, alongside Jesse "The Body" Ventura. We'll be with you throughout the night. Triple C will be calling the action from Sofa Central. 11 great matches. 3 championship matches. But before we go to the ring for our opening match, I understand J.R. is standing by backstage with a major announcement from "Cowboy" Bill Watts. VENTURA He's gonna resign? CUT TO: BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW POSTION J.R. and Bill Watts standing in front of a roating LTP logo and other gambling references. J.R. Thank you, Tony and Jess. It's certainly great to be back doing what I love to do, albeit in abbreviated form. I'm here with the Executive Vice President of OAOAST Entertainment, Mr. "Cowboy" Bill Watts. Bill, a lot of rumors have been circulating online concerning Joise Baker as it pertains to her being General Manager. What can you tell us? WATTS That's right, Jim, there have been a lot of rumors and innuendo floating around, so let me address them head-on. Fans who have watched OAOAST programming over the last couple of months have seen the company go from law and order to a state of lawlessness. The Board called an emergency session last night, which Joise Baker was asked to attended but chose not to, and it concluded with a vote of no confidence in Ms. Baker. Therefore, effective 12 a.m. last night Ms. Baker was removed from her duties as General Manager. It was a tough decision, but one that had been brewing for months now. We appreciate Ms. Baker's hard work but we decided it was time to make a change. As I said, this decision had been coming for months now. Ms. Baker knew the Board was going to hold a vote on her and she knew we had begun interviewing candidates for the position. Well I can tell you that we have found a replacement. This person has experience in management and the pitch given to the Board blew us all away. The contract is being finalized as we speak and the new General Manager was be introduced this Thursday night. But that doesn't take away from the great action we have in store for tonight, Jim. Canada has a great wrestling -- and I stress the word wrestling -- tradition. Canadians know there wrestling, and they're gonna it like only the OAOAST can provide. So let's go hook 'em up! J.R. Let's go to Michael Buffer.

We pan over to the INTERVIEW STAGE located near the ramp. SCHIAVONE The fans still applauding the great efforts of the men involved in Ultimate. I'm speechless, Jess. VENTURA Heh. All I can say Tony is...WOW! Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. SCHIAVONE We aren't done yet, fans. For some last minute comments before our main event, I'd like to welcome in the men who will call that match, Triple C down at Sofa Central. Guys, what a night, huh? Split-screen: Tony and Jesse on the right, Triple C on the left. COLE It certainly has Tony. Great to be working with you and Jesse once again. (to Coach & Caboose) Well, its now time for our Main Event, the Fatal 4 Way match for the OAOAST Championship. While this match was made just days ago, lets look at the history between each of these opponents, because there are some interesting relationships here. COACH Certainly are Michael, the most obvious one is between Tony Brannigan and Axel. These two have been fighting over this World title over the past four months, and every battle has been just incredible. No strangers to each other, each man will want to settle the score tonight. CABOOSE And look at the Original Elite factor, Tony Brannigan and CWM are having squabbles because both are in tonights match. The big question is: will they work together to eliminate both of thier opponents and try and bring the title back to the Elite? It all depends who is greedier. COLE And, of course, there's Gunner Sharps and Axel. Running buddies in The Bleeding Souls in Detroit before they came to this federation, their relationship has been rocky at best. The only other time these two have met on Pay Per View was back at Living Angleously of 2004, where Axel beat Gunner Sharps by submission. There are a lot of dynamics to this contest, and Axel had better know what he is walking into here, as the champions advantage is taken away from him. It does not matter who is pinned, or who submits, the same result happens - a winner, and OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion. Could we see Finger Poke of Doom 2K5 from The Elite? CABOOSE I doubt it Cole, because neither man wants to give up a title shot, even for the greater good of their group. CWM and Tony Brannigan are both going to go full tilt tonight at a title shot. COLE Some predictions, guys. Jesse, let's start with you. VENTURA I've already made my prediction. The uncrown Heavyweight Champion of the World... Tony Brannigan. What about you, Schiavone. Who you pickin'? SCHIAVONE I-I'm going with the incumbent, Axel. As the past Presidential election showed, it's hard defeating the incumbent. VENTURA Not unless you're me. SCHIAVONE Oh, lordy. I should've known I set you up for that one. What about you, Michael. COLE I'm with you, Tony, I'm also picking Axel. Coach, Caboose? COACH & CABOOSE ... COLE Don't tell me you guys are still betting on wrestling matches? COACH Just one last time. COLE (sighs) Lets send you down to ringside where Michael Buffer is standing by. *DING DING DING* BUFFER Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a Fatal Four Way Match, and it is for the One and Only Anglesault Thread Heavyweight Championship of the WORLD!!! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!" I would never bother you I would never promise to I will never follow you I will never bother you Never say a word again I will crawl away for good As the opening verse of Nirvana's 'You Know You're Right' echoes throughout the arena and the smoke clears from the entrance way, CWM appears, in normal attire consisting of torn shorts and Nirvana 'smilie face' T-Shirt. Walking to the ring, he doesn't acknowledge any fans' boos, or even the ones who want to slap his hand, choosing to storm dwon the ramp and slide into the ring, before dropping into the corner, arms draped over the ropes. COLE A picture of concentration, CWM is ready for a fight tonight. CABOOSE He hasn't been in a Pay Per View Main Event for a very long time guys, over a year for CWM. But he's used to this feeling, he has been a top star in this company for all three and a half years of its existance. As 'You Know You're Right' fades out, 'Sick' by Dope fades in, as the crowd continues this negative reaction. Heres to tomorrow baby I'm feelin sick Complain the whole world's angry You make me sick From behind the entrance curtain steps Gunner Sharps, dressed in his orange jumpsuit. Gunner beats his chest at the top of the ramp, and then makes a belt motion around his waist, not that the belt could fit around there anyway. The big man walks down the ramp, and fakes hitting one of the fans that are hurling insults at him, before grinning and swearing at the fan. Gunner climbs up the ring steps, and steps over the top rope with ease, before going over to the opposite corner to CWM, eyeing his former leader in the Underground. He's Simply Ravishing... OWWW! Ah yes, the familiar strains of the late Rick Rude's former WWF theme, 'Simply Ravishing'. The jam-packed Skydome give a smilar reception to Tony Brannigan as he makes his way out to ringside, but there are a section of the crowd who are cheering the former Champ. COLE Big night for this man, Tony Brannigan. Lost the OAOAST Championship last month to Axel, and is looking to regain it tonight. CABOOSE I think the best thing to come out of this match for both Tony and Axel is the fact that they don't necessarily have to beat each other to win, or in Axel's case remain, the champion. They're so evenly matched, and found it so hard to beat one another that they'll relish the chance for some other competition, some other dynamics in the match. Tony steps into the ring and poses on the turnbuckles to his music, the crowd again responding in a mixed reaction, but mostly a negative one. Jumping off the ropes, Tony surveys his opponents, until.. ...THE ARENA IS PLUNDGED INTO DARKNESS! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHHH!" A drum beat starts up, one that hasn't been heard for months in an OAOAST arena. "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!" COLE What? The beat of the drum is soon joined by a man's voice... Can you feel that? ...and a guitar... ...shit The drums and guitars get louder, and louder, as the AngleTron fills with a blood-red color, that leaves one word outlined in black: PAIN. The crowd is electric, the beat of the drum becomes more prominent, the guitars gaining rhythm and purpose, as the crowd waits for the inevitable... OWWWW-A-A-A-A! BOOOOOOOOOOOMM!! The crowd comes alive with a HUGE cheer as Disturbeds' "Down with the Sickness" begins to blare over the loudspeakers. From the set comes none other than the OAOAST Champion, Axel, who appears more pumped up than he has been in a long time. Drowning deep in my sea of loathing, Broken your servant I kneel (Will you give in to me?) It seems what's left of my human side Is slowly changing in me (Will you give in to me?) Axel plays to the crowd on both sides of the ramp, pointing to the belt around his waist, and then turning his attention to the ringside faithful around the ramp as the song continues. Looking at my own reflection When suddenyl it changes Violently it changes (oh no) Axel slaps a few hands at ringside and takes position halfway down the entrance ramp, pointing left, and then right, and then at his three opponents in the ring... There is no turning back now You've woken up the demon in me... BOOOOOOM! ...and striking the Crucifix Pose, setting off a chain of pyro not only at the ramp, but around the arena roof, with blasts all around the arena! CABOOSE Showoff. COLE Axel has this crowd pumped up for a huge Main Event here at License to Pin! The champion runs to the ring, slapping hands on the way, runs up the ring steps and enters the battlefield. Taking his place in the free corner, Axel chooses to pose to the fans while 'Down with the Sickness' continues to blare. The music fades down, as Michael Buffer begins the announcments. BUFFER Ladies and Gentlemen, at this time, let me introduce to you the participants in this match. The three challengers. First, weighing in at two hundred five pounds, a former OAOAST World, Tag Team and Twenty-Four Seven Champion, as well as one of the founders of this company. A bonafide legend and member of the Fall of Haim, from Abbotsford, British Columbia... COBAIN WAS MURDERED - CEEE DOUBLE-UUUUUUUUU EEEEEEMMMMMMMM!!!!! CWM flips the crowd off as Buffer continues the announcments. BUFFER Next, standing seven feet tall and weighing in tonight at three hundred fifty eight pounds, a former OAOAST Twenty-Four Seven Champion, and one of the greatest Big Men to ever grace an OAOAST ring. From Detroit, Michigan... GUNNNERRRRR SHAAAAARRPPPPSSS! The big man beats his chest and salutes to the crowd, who respond in more boos. BUFFER And, weighing in tonight at two hundred ninety two pounds. A former OAOAST World and Tag Team Champion, as well as a HI-YAH Tag Team Champion. One of the true superstars of this company, the man who has come to prominence as a true Main Event star in the last few months. From Hollywood, California... 'T-BOD' TONNYYYYYY BRAAAANNNIIGGGANNNNN!!!! "BOOYEEBOOYEEABOOOOOOO!!!" Yes, thats exactly how you describe the reaction of the crowd to the reading of Tony's name. Mixed. BUFFER Finally, last but by far, not least. Weighing in tonight at two hundred, fifty-eight and one quarter pounds. Known the world around for his intensity in the ring, and his professionalism outside of it. Former Twenty-Four Seven Champion, and Lethal Rumble winner. He is the current, REIGNING and DEFENDING One and Only Anglesault Thread Professional Wrestling Heavyweight Champion of the WOOOOORRRLLLDDD!!!! A native of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia, the master of the Axel Slam... THIS. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAXXXELLLLLL!!! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHH!" The champion strikes the crucifix pose with belt in hand, before giving the prestigious title to the referee, who shows it to the other three competitors in the match, before holding it up for the world to see. *DING DING DING* COLE The bell is rung, and we are underway in our Main Event for the evening! Remember as well, because this is a Fatal Four Way match, there are no disqualifications, and no countouts! Axel is the first to step out of his corner, and he is soon met by Gunner, as the two former friends have harsh words. Even though there is a distinct height difference, Axel does not back away from the big man, but is forced to when Gunner throws the first punch! Axel is on the offensive quickly though, as he lands a right hand of his own! Right by Gunner, and Axel comes right back! Gunner! Axel! Gunner! Axel! COACH This is a slugfest early! Gunner gets the better of the champion, and slugs away at his temple, causing Axel to back into the corner and try to cover up. Gunner goes for a haymaker shot, but the champion ducks under the big man and turns the tables, trapping him in the corner and delivering hard rights, followed by an uppercut! Axel turns around, seemingly to get a run up into the corner again... ... but he is floored by a Tony Brannigan clothesline! "BOOOOOO!" COLE Tony took advantage of that opening exchange, and now it appears as if he and CWM are going to work. Tony starts hammering away at Axel with right hands on the canvas, while CWM goes to work on Gunner Sharps in the corner. CWM wrenches the arm of Gunner, before trying an Irish Whip into the opposite corner. Gunner reverses and sends CWM into the turnbuckle back-first. The big man charges at CWM, but the veteran gets his feet up, sending Gunner backward. CWM charges this time, but Gunner has the move scouted, landing a HUGE running powerslam on CWM! CABOOSE Amazing power showcased by Gunner Sharps. I always knew he had Main Event potential! Meanwhile, Tony is teeing off on Axel still, before bringing the champion to his feet. T-Bod with a stiff boot to the stomach, and a front face lock, before taking Axel over with a suplex. Gunner tries to take advantage of the fact that Tony is on the ground by grabbing his hair, but Tony lands a thumb to the eye, disorientating the big guy for a moment, long enough for Tony to get on the offensive with right hands. Gunner tries to come back with shots, but CWM is there for the double team along with Tony Brannigan. COACH The Original Elite working together! I knew it! CWM and Tony catch each other in a glance, before sending the three hundred pounder for an Irish Whip. Gunner comes off of the ropes and tries a Double Clothesline, but both men duck under, and deliver a Double Neckbreaker to Gunner Sharps, followed by a double elbow drop! CWM and Tony get up from the tandem moves to face each other, but are soon focused on Axel, as the champion is on his feet. Axel charges for Tony, but CWM cuts him off, landing a right hand to the midsection, and then a boot, before both men grab Axel and deliver a Double DDT! COLE Great tandem offense! Tony Brannigan with a cover on Axel! ONE... TW-NO! CWM pulls Tony off of Axel! COACH Wait a minute! Are they working together? Tony gets up and comes eye to eye with his stablemate, asking him exactly what the hell that was about. CWM shrugs and tells him something which seems to raise the ire of Tony Brannigan, so much so that Tony lands a slap on CWM! "OOOOOOOH!" ...CWM takes Tony down with a tackle! "YEEEEEAH!" COLE Wow! So much for the Elite! Right hands by CWM on Tony, but Brannigan turns the tables and lands right hands on CWM. Both men are up, CWM ducks a clothesline attempt, tries a Pollycutter... no! Tony pushes CWM off.... ..and right into a Gunner Sharps big boot! CABOOSE What a shot to the chin! Tony turns around, but he too gets knocked down, but by an Axel Harlem Side Kick! COLE High Leg Lariat there by Axel, and both Elites are down! Watch Gunner here... Gunner tries to ambush Axel with a right hand, but Axel block it and hits one of his own, followed by a European Uppercut! And a second! A third! Snapmare take over by Axel, and a VICIOUS KICK TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! "UWAHHH!" Axel with a legdrop, and a COVER! ONE... TW-NO! CWM pulls Axel off the cover! COACH What a kick to the back of the head by Axel there! We heard that impact all the way up here! He's certainly learnt some things in Japan guys! CABOOSE I hate to agree with you... so I won't. That kick sucked. CWM with an elbow shot to Axel, and a left elbow, before Spinning... but Axel ducks a third elbow attempt! Axel ducks behind CWM, before delivering a beautiful release German Suplex, landing CWM right on the back of his neck! Axel follows the move up with locking in a ground front face lock, and putting all the pressure on CWM's neck, zeroing in on his target. COLE Beautiful German by Axel there, and now he seems to be working on the neck of CWM. Axel continues to hold the Front Face Lock even tighter, until it is broken up by a Tony Brannigan boot to the back of the head of the Champion. Brannigan lifts Axel to his feet, Irish Whp by Tony, Axel stops himself at the ropes, holding on to the top, but Tony follows up with a Cactus Jack clothesline, sending both men over the top! The crowd cheer, as the action has spilled ever closer to them, not stopping to think that if one of these guys were to accidentally clothesline them or something, they'd be totally rooted! Gunner is on his feet in the meantime, as is CWM. The two former stablemates in the Underground eye each other, before charging. CWM is smarter however, as he ducks an incoming shot by Sharps and lands a Spinning Elbow, but it doesn't send the big man off of his feet. CWM tries another, but Gunner lands a boot to the midsection, and puts CWM in a standing bodyscissors, before lifting him up for a Powerbomb... ...But You Can't Powerbomb CWM- Hurricanrana! COLE Beautiful Headscissors takeover by CWM! CABOOSE Look, Michael, please. Call the move right, or not at all. Simple choice. CWM holds onto Gunner's legs! ONE... TW-NO! Gunner uses his strength to get out of the pinning predicament. With Axel getting up first on the outside, Tony has to work fast, and does so with a shot to the midsection of the champion, before grabbing him by the hair, and driving his face into the guardrail, causing some fat guy to spill his beer. The fat guy takes great offense to this, and tries to hit Tony from the crowd, but he is soon taken away by security. Flustered by this, Tony falls prey to an attack by Axel, with the champion knocking his foe down with a clothesline on the outside. Axel picks Tony up once again and this time tries an Irish Whip into the guardrail, but Brannigan reverses and Axel goes back first into the steel! Tony charges, but Axel is smarter than that, ducking and sending Tony into the crowd! In the ring, CWM has Gunner in the corner and is once again pounding away, this time with right hands. And whether the founding member likes it or not, the crowd is counting along as he stands on the second turnbuckle... ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!!! CWM jumps off of the turnbuckle and runs to the opposite side. He then charges at Gunner, and jumps into the corner... ...but Gunner catches him, and PLANTS him on the back of his head with a one armed slam! COLE Amazing power shown there by Gunner Sharps! Amazing! Gunner follows the move straight away by grabbing CWM by the throat, and lifting him to his feet, before lifting him even further in a Gorilla Press! Gunner keeps CWM up there for a few seconds, then dropping him down in a Spinebuster! COACH The Tortured Soul Slam! Cover! ONE... TWO... NO! CWM kicks out right at the count of two. Gunner begins to tee off on CWM again with rights, as the camera switches to Tony Brannigan, who has gained the advantage over Axel, and is coming back to ringside with the champion. Tony drives Axel's head into the guardrail once again, and then throws Axel back over, before climbing over himself. Tony tries to pick the Champion up, but no dice, as Axel is keeping low to the ground. Brannigan goes for the second option, hitting the champion with a hard right, before beginning a search under the ring, perhaps for some weapons... COLE Uh-oh! Tony's channeling the spirit of the Dudleys... he's got a table! Tony succeeds in grabbing Axel and picking him up to his feet, then positioning him in a standing bodyscissors, right next to the table. T-Bod tries to get Axel up for a Powerbomb, but Axel blocks the move, holding onto Tony's legs. Tony tries again, but the same result. Before Brannigan can try for a third time, Axel has dropped to his knees, and lands an Uppercut, sending Brannigan backward! Tony tries a clothesline on Axel, but the champion ducks! ...SPINEBUSTAHHH~! THROUGH THE TABLE! COLE WOW! COACH SO Much Better than HOFFS!!! In the ring, Gunner throws CWM for an Irish Whip, CWM uses his ringsmarts to slide under Gunner's legs, and takes his leg out with a sweeping kick! Gunner is on his knees! CWM off of the ropes... SHINING WIZARD! COACH The Shining Wizard kick by CWM! Cover! It's over! ONE... TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... THR-NO! Axel breaks it up, grabbing CWM... and DRIVING his head into the mat with a DDT! COLE The champion with the advantage! He's showing intensity we haven't seen in months! Axel focuses still on CWM, the DDT further jarring his neck. The champion throws him to the outside, wanting to punish the founding member even more. Axel grabs CWM by the hair and attempts to frive his face into the steel steps, but CWM blocks and sends Axel's face into the steel! CWM grabs a chair that one of the security guards was sitting on, and measures the champion! COACH CWM is ready to POUNCE~! CABOOSE Please don't mention that word in this company. Axel gets to his feet and is ALMOST floored by a chairshot, but ducks under. The champion goes for a clothesline, but CWM ducks under that as well! Axel turns around again... and gets FLOORED WITH A VICIOUS CHAIRSHOT! COLE That's worthy of a replay! *LTP Logo* Axel gets to his feet and is ALMOST floored by a chairshot, but ducks under. The champion goes for a clothesline, but CWM ducks under that as well! Axel turns around again... and gets FLOORED WITH A VICIOUS CHAIRSHOT! COLE That's worthy of a replay! *LTP Logo* COACH What a shot there! CWM floored the champion, and he's proud of himself! CABOOSE Not only that, but I don't think he's done! Waitaminute! Look in the ring! Yes, inside the ring Tony Brannigan and Gunner Sharps are teeing off, with Gunner Sharps getting a GOOZLE~! on Tony! COACH Chokeslam coming up! Tony, desperate, does the only thing he knows how in a desperate situation and kicks Gunner square in the balls! "UWAHHHHHH!" Standing bodyscissors by Tony, ATTITDUE ADJUSTMENT PILEDRIVER!!! COLE He hit that beautiful Piledriver! COACH Gunner's head driven into the mat! ONE!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NOOOOO!! CWM breaks up the pinfall! COLE That was very close! CWM had to save Gunner so he still has a shot at the title! Remember folks, this is NOT an elimination bout, one pinfall will earn a victory, and in this case, the OAOAST Championship! CWM grabs his stablemate an doesn't treat him as so, peppering away with right hands, and sending him for an Irish Whip. Tony comes off of the ropes, ducks a shot, but doesn't get out of the way of a boot to the midsection by CWM. Standing bodyscissors... RUNNING CONSPIRACY BOMB BY CWM! COACH The Conspriacy Bomb! Cover! ONE... TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO... NO!! Tony kicks out. CWM, flustered by the kickout, continues the punishment on Tony Brannigan. COLE A lot of action going on in this contest, and it's very hard to pick a winner! COACH Damn right Michael, all four of these guys have been on top at different times, its no wonder why Axel wasn't entirely happy with having to face three guys! But its a testament to his character that he is doing so! CABOOSE Yeah yeah, blah blah. Same old crap. Meanwhile, a now-bloodied Axel is in the ring, and is after Gunner Sharps. Gunner soon gets the advantage back though after a couple of rights and lefts from the champion. Gunner soon gets a goozle on Axel, lifts him high in the air, and drops him for a Chokeslam! COLE Slam dunk by Gunner! The big man feels like its time to fly, but considering his limited arsenal of top rope moves, one has to wonder why. COACH Might be a little mistake by Gunner here! Gunner climbs to the top, and flies off, trying a splash... ...but only meets Axel's knees, leaving both former Bleeding Souls down on the mat!! COLE Gunner crashed and burned on that exchange! CWM batters away at Tony in the corner, this time applying a choke, with the referee trying to break it up, but being unable to do so, as there are no disqualifications in this contest. CWM finally brings Tony Brannigan out of the corner, trying a Cradle piledriver, but Tony backdrops out of it! CWM is up quickly, but its Tony Brannigan on the attack, ducking a clothesline, and delivering the Rude Awakening Neckbreaker! COLE High impact by Tony Brannigan! Lateral press! ONE... TWOOOOOOOOO..... NO! CWM kicks out! COACH That just shows the major influence of the late, great Rick Rude on Tony Brannigan. And its not a bad influence to have guys, Rude was one hell of a competitor. Brannigan follows up with a second cover, keeping on CWM... ONE... TWOOOOONO! CWM kicks out a little earlier this time. Tony grabs CWM by the hair and signals for the end! Irish Whip into the corner, CWM comes out... ...OUT OF BOD-NO! CWM falls behind Tony! ...POLLYCUTTE-NO! Tony pushes CWM off... ...and right into a MOTHER FUCKING IMPACT SPEAR~!~! COLE THE SHARP END! CWM JUST GOT FLATTENED! Cover by Gunner! ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Tony breaks up the pinfall attempt! COACH Man, Gunner might be the OAOAST Champion had Tony not been there! The big man grabs Brannigan by the hair and sets him up in a Standing Bodyscissors. Gunner lits Tony and runs.. ...but Tony rolls down his back! Gunner turns around... ...OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE ON GUNNER! COACH The Spinebuster! Just like that! COLE We've got a new Champion! COVER! ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Axel breaks up the pinfall! COLE Axel saved his title there! Axel with right hands to the temple of Tony Brannigan, and a Front Face lock applied! Axel signals to the crowd, lifts Tony high in the air... ....BRAINBUSTAHHHHHH~!~!~! COLE DAAAANNNGEEERROOOOOUUUSSS!!! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAHHH!" ONE!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENOOOOOOO! Tony gets a shoulder up! COLE Axel was soclose there! CABOOSE These guys are trading high impact mores like there's no tomorrow, and now Axel's going for another! Axel gets up, and strikes the Crucifix Pose! The crowd go insane! COACH It's time for the end! Axel grabs Tony by the hair, turning around to face the other s-POLYCUTTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COLE CWM GOT HIM WITH THE POLLYCUTTER! ITS OVER! CABOOSE GOTTA BE! ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gunner breaks up the pinfall! COLE My, how close was that??? KOOL-AID OH YEAH! Gunner with right hands to CWM, and a knee to the gut. Irish Whip by Gunner, CWM somehow reverses it, goes into the ropes... SPEAR... ...CWM MOVES! ...GUNNER HITS AXEL WITH THE SHARP END SPEAR! ONE!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! CWM Breaks up the pinfall! COLE CWM breaks it up this time, hey, look at Tony on the outside! Brannigan has stolen the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship from ringside, and is obiously looking for the right time to use it! CABOOSE These guys had better watch Tony, one shot with that belt and you're gone! Tony slides into the rig just as Gunner and CWM are fighting once again. CWM tries a Pollycutter but Gunner won't buy it. Gunner tries to Powerbomb CWM, but the veteran holds onto the ropes, not giving Gunner a chance! Gunner tries again, but is suddenly floored with a BELTSHOT! COLE TONY JUST TOOK GUNNERS HEAD OFF... ...POLLYCUTTER BY CWM WHEN TONY TURNS AROUND! CABOOSE He hit the Pollycutter on his own stablemate! Incredible! CWM stands up and looks at the crowd sadistically, like he's not done. But he has other things to worry about, as Axel is on his feet, finally, after the Last Pollycutter! CWM goes for a right hand, Axel ducks behind, and picks the veteran up for a Reverse DVD! COACH COULD IT BE? ...AXXXXXXELLLLL SLLLLAAAAMMMMMM!!!! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAHHHH!" THE CROWD COUNT ALONG! OOOOONNNNEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!! *DING DING DING* COLE HE GOT HIM! YES! Axel stands up triumphantly at the ringing of the bell, with 'Down with the Sickness' playing in the background. COACH Axel has beaten three men to retain his OAOAST Championship! What a contest! The referee raises Axel's hand, but Gunner seems to have other ideas as he is pissed off he didn't win the title. Axel sees the big man coming at him, and takes him down quickly with a Running Enziguri! Looking down at Gunner, Axel gets an idea! COLE Gunner with poor sportsmanship, but what's Axel thinking here? Axel grabs Gunner and locks him in a rear facelock position, grabbing his tights with the other hand. Axel lifts Gunner high in the air, holding him up so the bloood rushes to his head! COACH He couldn't be thinking of... CABOOSE I think he is! COLE One stolen finisher deserves another... man, look at this strength! Axel has him up there for en seconds now! Axel struggles, but manages to keep Gunner in the air before... ....DROPPING HIM WITH THE FUTURE SHOCK! COLE and COACH :O CABOOSE He did it better than Hoff! COACH What imapct! Axel stands up immediately and stares at the camera, while the referee hands him his belt. Suddenly a cheer goes up around the arena, and it appears that none other than HOFF has made his way to the top of the entrance ramp! Axel turns to return his stare! COLE Hoff is here! Man, this is electric, these two will meet, August 28th, AngleSlam! Look at the staredown! COACH It's going to take the match of their lives to beat the other, this match has been over a year in the making guys! Axel stares at his opponent, raising the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship as 'Down with the Sickness' plays still. Hoff and Axel start the trash talk, as the music blares. COLE What a show! For Caboose and Jonathon Coachman, I'm Michael Cole! Goodnight and see you at AngleSlam!

No moles. No second-rate roster. No J.B.L. OAOAST HELDDOWN~! "The Only Weekly Wrestling Show Worth Watching" THURSDAY NIGHTS ON TSM As we return to License To Pin, a top-down camera hovers from the rafters and down upon the two cables hung from the four poles specially fixed to the ringposts, forming a metal X over the ring...ahead of the first ever, OAOAST, Ultimate X Match. A buzz fills the arena as the camera focuses in, on the OAOAST X-Division Championship belt hanging from the crossection of the 'X'. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, your following contest...IS YOUR ULTIMATE X MATCH...for the OAOAST X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WOOOOORRRLLLDD!!!! "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Well, here we go. CABOOSE Let the spotfest commence. BUFFER The rules for this match are simple. Above the ring hangs the OAOAST X-Division Championship belt. There are no disqualifications, no count-outs...the only way to win the match is to retrieve the belt from it's perch and pull it from the X. In this match, the use of ladders is STRICTLY prohibited! Should a competitor use a ladder to retrieve the belt, the belt will be replaced on the X and the match will be restarted. Buffer tosses his cuecard away, as the lights go down in the arena. The opening strains of Nickleback's shameless cover of "Saturday Night's All Right", to boos from the fans as Jay Richards eventually makes his way through the curtains. Smirking, Jay swaggers down the rampway, with his fellow CSIer Jumbo following out behind. BUFFER Introducing first, challenger number one. Accompanied to the ring by JUMBO! Hailing from Orange City, Iowa...he weighs in at one hundred, ninety nine pounds. Representing C S I... JJJAAAAAAAAAAAYYY... RRRRIIIICCHHHHAAAARRRRRDDSSSSSS!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Peering over the edge of the ramp, Jay makes the "belt motion" in the direction of some staunce Peter Knight fans before carrying on down. Jay grabs the top rope as he reaches the ring, vaulting in and instantly glancing up at the X-Division Title belt that hangs high above. Jumbo makes his way down from the ramp to the side of the ring. As meanwhile, Jay takes a deep breath, trying to pysch himself up. As he does, the lights fade out around him again, except for one single white spotlight shining down at the head of the stage. The haunting intro to Radiohead's "Creep" suddenly starts up to more boos from the fans, while Richards continues warming up in the darkness of the ring. COLE Here comes a wanted man. Remember, tonight, the shackles are off and Leon Rodez can finally get his hands on Christian Wright for the first time. CABOOSE He shouldn't be concerned with Wright. He should be concerned with the belt. Just as the lyrics begin, Christian Wright emerges through the curtains. Just like Richards, he's not alone, as the monstrous silohuette of Bohemoth emerges at his side. He stops in the spotlight, head bowed, waiting as the boos intensify around him. "I wish I was special..." "You're so very special..." *DRN-UN* *DRN-UN* "But I'm a Creep!!" Wright tugs his hood down from other his head right on cue, holding his hands out to the side with a focused look on his face as he begins to stride down the aisle. BUFFER Challenger number two, is accompanied to the ring by the HI-YAH Heavyweight Champion BOHEMOTH! From Raleigh, North Carolina...weighing in at two hundred and thirty three pounds... "THE NATURAL"... CCHHHHRRRIIIIISSSSTTTIIIIIAAAAANN... WWWWWRRRRRIIIIGGGHHHHHTTT!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Wright disposes of his robe, entering the ring and looking up at the prize above. Taking issue with that, Richards shoves Wright in the chest, getting his attention before pointing up at the belt and indicating that it's his belt. COLE Well, it's every man for himself here. There'll be no friends, especially after what happened during and after the big tag team match on HeldDOWN~! Thursday night. CABOOSE Of course it's every man for himself, doofus. COLE Just adding some tension. A staredown ensues between Wright and Richards, both jawing with each other while occassionally pointing up at the belt. *GOOOOONG!* "YEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" "GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN! GET DOWN, GET DOWN!" But the staredown is interrupted, as Kool and the Gang's "Jungle Boogie" hits! The fans start to bob and sway along, Wright and Richards both turning their attentions to aisleway, as eventually Leon Rodez jigs through the curtains, to a pop from the fans. Wright growls at the reaction, watching as Rodez walks down the aisle, reaching down and out to his fans on the way. BUFFER Challenger number three...hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan. He weighs in at two hundred, twenty eight pounds...a former OAOAST X-Division Champion... "SILKY SMOOTH"... LLLLEEEEEOOOONN... RRRROOOOOOODDEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!! "YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" Rodez throws his arms up in a symbolic 'X' as the announcement his made, drawing sneers from Wright and Richards from the ring. Removing his flowing green robe, Rodez steers clear of the ring, staying on the rampway and waiting. Waiting and wondering why everyone's intros involve the lights going off, as again the arena is shrowded in darkness. Blue lights begin to strobe around the arena as "Oh Hell Yeah" by H-Blocx hits, bringing the crowd to their feet once more. "People think they know me Say I'm wound a little tight Tell me I go lookin' for trouble That I'm always ready for a fight But I'm just an easy goin' guy, not crossin' any line I'm a carin' individual, most of the time. Most of the time Quite a lot of the time. IT'SJUSTTHAT IT'SJUSTTHAT IT'SJUSTTHAT OH HELL YEAH!!" Storming through the curtains, Peter Knight make his entrance to a rousing reception. Looking to the ring, Knight stops and stretches out his shoulders, knowing that as the biggest man in the match he probably has the hardest task to retrieve his title. BUFFER And finally. Hailing from Fall River, Massachussets...he weighs in at two hundred and sixty five pounds. The reigning OAOAST X-DIVISION CHAMPION... PPEEEEEEETTEEEERRRRR... KKNNIIIIIIIIGGGGHHHHTT!!!! "YEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHH!" Knight acknowledges the cheers from the crowd before walking the rest of the way down the aisle, meeting up with Rodez on the way. The two exchange a few 'pleasantries' before entering the ring together, Buffer quickly diving for cover as Ultimate X is off to an abrupt start!! *DING DING DING!* COLE And this one is underway with a flurry!! The crowd go wild, as Richards charges across the ring and ambushes Rodez as he enters the ring, catching him on the ropes with forearms. Knight is able to get in unscathed beside them meanwhile. Slow to react, Wright charges forward, but gets popped in the jaw with a right hand. Back staggers Wright, Knight close behind with a boot to the gut and another right hand. It's Richards stomping Rodez across the ring, with Knight coming at Wright with more right hands to back him against the ropes. Knight grabs Wright's arm and whips him across the ring, catching him on the way back with a hard back elbow. PK then charges over to grab Jay Richards, pulling him off of Rodez and nailing him with a hard right too. Cowering in the corner, Richards begs off from Knight...only to lure him in, booting Knight in the gut as he advances. Down goes Knight, Richards now stomping away on him. Pulling himself back up, Rodez leaves Richards and Knight to their battle, instead focusing on Christian Wright. COACH Uh-oh... COLE This is what we've been waiting for! Leon Rodez has been waiting for this moment for the past 3 months! Slowly getting back up, CW is warned frantically by Bohemoth about what's awaiting him. Wright doesn't get the message though, dusting himself off as Rodez stands behind him, impatiently waiting for Wright to turn himself around. And slowly, he begins to do so. Rodez encourages him around, reeling back an arm... ...which suddenly gets grabbed by Jay Richards! Rodez stops in his tracks, as Richards wheels him around by the arm and spikes Rodez with a quick DDT! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" CABOOSE Heh...so much for that. You know, you really shouldn't build things up so much Mickey. It just makes the bait and switch that much more frustrating. Richards leaps to his feet after the DDT, smiling broadly as he holds his arms in the air. But suddenly, he gets wheeled around by Christian Wright, who looks to give Richards a taste of his own medicine. Richards blocks the DDT though, sliding a foot behind and tripping Wright up. Quickly Jay rushes the ropes, as Wright rolls over and drops down. Richards leaps over and continues running, as Wright gets to his feet, swinging with a clothesline. Richards ducks and skids to a halt, as now Wright hits the ropes. Waiting, Richards suddenly tumbles forward as Wright charges towards him, catching The Natural over the top of the head with his heel and sending Wright crashing backwards, through the ropes and out onto the rampway. COLE Just as we said, no friends in this one. On the outside, Jumbo smirks across the ring at Bohemoth, the two bodyguard clearly with ill feelings towards each other too after Thursday night. Richards celebrates back in the ring. But, he does so too early, as Peter Knight latches his arms behind his head in a full nelson, lifting Jay off the canvas and DRIVING him down hard! COLE BIG Full Nelson Slam from the Champ! The howling Richards rolls away clutching his back, ending up on the rampway with CW. That leaves Peter Knight in the ring. All alone. Except, for Leon Rodez, getting back to his feet and greeting Knight as he turns around. CABOOSE Yeah, here we go. Let's see the nice guys beat the crap outta each other. COLE Current champion and former champion, face to face here! "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" The crowd are split firmly down the middle as Rodez stares up at Knight, both men seemingly waiting for the other to make the first move. The stand-off continues, until suddenly, both make the move at the same time! Knight connects with a right hand. But so does Rodez. Both stagger back a step, before trying again, connecting with stereo rights. Down goes Rodez as Knight stumbles backwards. Pulling himself up, Rodez quickly charges into Knight, forcing him back against the ropes and shooting him off. Knight is able to grab Rodez's arm and reverse though, sending him into the ropes. As Rodez shoots back, Knight looks for a clothesline...which is ducked by Rodez, reaching the ropes nearest the ramp and putting on the brakes. Richards and Wright stand just inches away trading right hands, too much of a target for Rodez to resist. And, turning his attention away from the X-Champ, Rodez grabs the top rope, leaning back before propelling himself over the top, wiping out both Richards and Wright on the rampway with a crossbody!! "YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH BUNDLE~! COLE There's the first big risk of the match taken...and, it's going to give Peter Knight the first chance to go for the belt too!! Left alone in the ring, Knight sees the pile-up on the rampway and suddenly realises now is his chance. The Champ scrambles across to the nearest corner and slowly climbs the turnbuckles, facing out into the crowd. As he reaches the top, the cable is just above his head, easy reach for him. Suddenly though, Rodez is back up, rushing across the rampway and to the apron. Knight sees him coming though and as Rodez pushes Knight's knees, the Champ jumps backwards, landing safely in the ring! Or, at least, until his left knee buckles underneath him. COLE Uh-oh...Knight may have just reaggravated that knee injury. Christian Wright's messed up that knee twice in two weeks, so you had to know it wouldn't be 100%. CABOOSE (deadpan) Yeah. Sucks to be Peter. As Knight hobbles on his bad leg, Rodez shows some concern...before realising he's got a match to win. Quickly, The Silky Smooth One scales the turnbuckles in front of Knight, waiting for him to hobble around to face him. Eventually Knight does, Rodez instantly diving towards him and connecting with a flying clothesline! Knight goes tumbling down, as Rodez picks himself up quickly, with the belt now in his sights. Looking up, Rodez stares up at the X-Division Title, 6 months of memories flowing through him as he seems transfixed. Forcing himself out of the trance, Leon thinks quickly, bundling Knight out of the ring, giving him clear path towards the cables. "LE - ON!" "LE - ON!" "LE - ON!" Rodez leaves the ring and begins his climb, reaching the top in quick time and stopping to assess his route. And, after a last deep breath, Rodez jumps up (with the cable out of natural reach for him) and grasps the cable in his hands. Just as he does though, Jay Richards has staggered back into the ring and is rushing for the corner. Rodez sees him and eases himself back onto the top turnbuckle, catching Jay on the middle with a forearm to the back. And another. But Richards fires a quick trio of punches into Rodez's gut to stop him in his tracks. COACH This is real dangerous territory here. With Rodez winded, Richards gingerly climbs up onto the top rope. Rodez is now standing on the turnbuckle itself, Richards directly in front on the ropes, both in extremely precarious positions. Gaining his feet, Richards nails Rodez with a right, causing Rodez to fall backwards...slumping into the pole holding the cables. COACH WOAH! COLE If not for that pole, Leon Rodez would be dead right now!! Seeing his chance, Jay glances up and leaps, hooking the cable by the arm and hanging off in front of the turnbuckles. There's nowhere for Richards to go but down now. Richards tries to get a better grip as suddenly, Rodez recovers, easing himself forwards onto the rope itself, trying to reach out and grab Richards' leg. Looking utterly petrified, Richards swings out, trying to kick Rodez. He misses...but does manage to hook his legs around Rodez's head... COLE Oh...oh my god, no... CABOOSE No way! ...hanging off the cables by his arms and Rodez with his legs, Richards knows he can't get to the belt just yet. So, instead, he takes a leap of faith, by letting go of the cable in his arms... ...falling backwards... *WHAM~!* ...AND TAKING RODEZ OFF THE TOP WITH THE SUPER-EST OF SUPER HURRICANRANA'S YOU'LL EVER BY GOD SEE!!!!!!! "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE OH MY GOD!! COACH GIMMICKINFRINGEMENT~! A fan towards the back of the crowd lets off his air-horn in appreciation, as Rodez begins to convulse on the canvas. Richards remains flat on the canvas, face down and with little idea as to where the hell he is. As meanwhile, the crowd begrudingly applaud the move from the CSI member. COLE Have you ever seen a Hurricanrana, from that height, with that momentum, with that devestashun~! in your life!?! CABOOSE No. No way. What an AWESOME move by Jay Richards. With both Rodez and Richards down and Peter Knight still favouring his knee on the floor, Christian Wright finally re-enters the ring. The path to the belt is clear for The Natural. But, after glancing up at the gold, Wright happens to glance down at Leon Rodez...lying in an awkward position in the middle of the ring. Smirking, Wright breaks his gaze from the belt and suddenly grabs Leon Rodez, pulling his limp body off the canvas with the smirk on his face grower sicker and more sadistic as he does. "CHRIS - TIAN SUCKS!" "CHRIS - TIAN SUCKS!" "CHRIS - TIAN SUCKS!" COLE What the hell is this? Wright could go for the belt here, but he's more concerned with putting Leon Rodez out of action it seems! CABOOSE The hatred between Rodez and Wright isn't one way, Cole. Christian hates Rodez as much as Rodez hates him. Maybe more-so. COLE Well, that is true. But Rodez is already hurt. Wright doesn't have to do this. Dragging Rodez to his knees, Wright lets Rodez slump forward while he runs a thumb across his throat. To boos from the crowd, obviously. Wright then reaches down, applying a double underhook on his hated rival. Rodez is still deadweight. But Wright is able to lever him to his feet, long enough to lift and drape Rodez over his shoulder, with the double underhook still applied. Clealry enjoying himself, around the ring parades The Natural to let all of Rodez's fans get a good look...before sitting out, jamming Rodez with the Spinal Fusion (Double Underhook Canadian Backbreaker Drop)!! "OOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!" Rodez flops to the side, writhing in pain, much to the delight of Wright. Pulling himself back up, now Wright is ready to go for the belt. In the corner though, Jay Richards is slowly pulling himself up on the ropes, to a wry smile from CW. WRIGHT You want some too, eh? Walking over, Wright's comments are captured on the nearby camera...as he slaps Richards mockingly across the back of the head. Richards shakes it off, but is still hurt from his big fall moments ago. So Wright grabs him and drags Richards to his feet. A boot to the gut doubles over Jay, allowing Wright to snare the left arm, then the right, hauling Richards up over his shoulder for another Spinal Fusion. Richards isn't as hurt as he's letting on though, as he's able to slide down Wright's back and free of the hold. Stopping in confusion momentarily, Wright turns around to grab Richards again... ...and gets a boot lofted up between his legs!! COLE Lowblow by Jay Richards! Perfectly legal and I'm sure nobody will be crying for CW. As Wright collapses with his manhood in his hands, Richards slumps back to his knees for a well-earned breather. But with Jumbo yelling something in his ears - something Richards can't quite make out - he realises he has to be quick if he wants to be the Champion, pulling himself up and shaking off the cobwebs... *CRACK!* "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" ...ONLY TO GET DRILLED IN THE SPINE WITH A CHAIRSHOT FROM PETER KNIGHT!! CABOOSE Oh, yeah, that's a real classy move for a Champion to be making. COLE Like I said earlier, it's No Disqualifications here... CABOOSE So it's okay for our X-Division Champion to sneak attack someone with a weapon? Oh, okay then. Sorry for having a few morals left. Richards collapses as Knight drops the chair, teeth gritted as his left knee continues to throb in pain. With all his three opponents down, Knight starts to make his way towards the corner. On one leg. And on one knee after a few steps, his knee unable to hold his weight. Knight crawls towards the corner and uses the ropes to pull himself up, hopping on one leg and summoning some grit and some guts to try and climb the turnbuckles. “LETS GO PE-TER” *clap clap clapclapclap* “LETS GO PE-TER” *clap clap clapclapclap* “LETS GO PE-TER” *clap clap clapclapclap* “LETS GO PE-TER” *clap clap clapclapclap* With bad leg and all, Knight manages to get his right leg up on the middle rope, his left on the bottom and searing in pain. Knight grits his teeth again and pushes up, placing his left gingerly on the middle rope. Little knowing what's coming up behind him... *CRACK!* ...A CHAIRSHOT FROM JAY RICHARDS, TO THE SIDE OF THE LEFT KNEE!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Knight loses grip on the ropes and crashes back to the canvas. Meanwhile, Richards collapses as well, still favouring his back from the chairshot he took. COLE What about that, 'Boose? CABOOSE Hey, he brought the chair in, he takes what's coming to him. COACH Sure. Now, all four men are down...with Christian Wright the first to his feet, grabbing Jay Richards in a waistlock and pulling him to his feet. Releasing the waistlock, Wright then grabs Jay behind the head, charging him forwards and sending him head-first into the top turnbuckle. Richards slumps frontways into the corner, while Wright now turns his attention to Peter Knight, stomping away repeatedly on the kneecap. The Natural then grabs the leg, draping it over the bottom rope and dropping all his weight across the knee to bend the leg up awkwardly. Groans of pain escape Knight, as Wright does the same again, further torquing the knee. As this is going on meanwhile, Richards has staggered out of the corner and is looking a little woozy. As he turns around, he finds himself face to face with Leon Rodez, who despite his bad back has pulled himself up and rocks Richards with a jab! A jab! A jab! A jab! A jab! Rodez turns, to blow the kiss. His back tweaks on him though, so he settles for just turning around... *SMACK!* ..and nailing Jay upside the head with the Enziguri!! COACH MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT, YO~! With Richards down, Rodez thinks about going after some retribution on Christian Wright. But with the X-Division Title hanging in the waiting, Rodez decides against it and instead begins his climb. Despite his bad back, Rodez is quickly to the top, using the pole attached to the ringpost to gain his footing on the top rope. Wright still hasn't seen where Rodez is, too busy working on the knee of Peter Knight still. And the yells from Bohemoth aren't understood. Rodez is up top now, looking up at the cables and leaping as best possible to grab the cable in his hands! COLE Rodez is up! CABOOSE And Wright still doesn't see him! TURN AROUND! Rodez is on the cable now and begins to slow go hand over hand, away from the turnbuckles and out above the ring! Getting no more than a few hands forwards, Rodez's back comes back to bother him again and he's forced to stop to take a rest. As he does, Christian Wright has finally noticed all the cheering and yelling, turning around to see Rodez hovering high above. Wright panics and scrambles for the turnbuckles, the crowd urging Rodez on as Wright closes on the top rope. Finally, Rodez starts moving again, hand over hand, reaching the halfway point of the cable...just as Peter Knight starts getting up. "LE - ON!" "LE - ON!" "LE - ON!" Closing in on the belt, Rodez has to stop again. Wright is still out of reach, having only just grabbed the cable himself. And it looks as if Rodez is in the clear, until Knight suddenly sees the steel chair lying next to him. Hobbling to his feet, Knight picks up the chair, aiming at Rodez and hurling it... ...catching Rodez in the gut with enough force to cause the challenger to lose his grip on the cable, plummeting from the cable and DOWN~! to the canvas with a sickening thud!! "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" CABOOSE Man, they caught him just in time! COLE That's the second big fall Leon Rodez has taken in this match and that may very well be two too many. Once again, Rodez is laid out motionless on the canvas, Knight just thankful to have saved his title. Wright meanwhile eases himself back off the cables and onto the top rope, not wanting the same treatment that Rodez just recieved. And instead, he dives off the top rope, able to catch Knight with a big flying clothesline! Straight back up, Wright then grabs the leg of Knight again and drops to one knee, driving the point of the other into Knight's hamstring area. Knight rolls off clutching his leg, as Jay Richards creeps up behind Wright. He spins him around, connecting with a quick right hand. Another. A third. Fourth. Wright is backed up into the ropes, as Richards connects with a fifth and then looks for an irish whip. Able to reverse, Wright drags in Richards, snatching him under the armpits for the Wright Off...NO! In mid-move, Richards punts out a leg, toeing Wright right in the gut. Wright drops Richards, who lands on his feet and quickly takes Wright over with a snap suplex! COLE We're not that long into this match and already, all four men look fatigued. CABOOSE Well, unlike pretty much the rest of the roster, these four had to wrestle on Thursday night. COACH Yeah, what the hell happened there? Did everyone miss the plane or something. COLE Uhm...yes? Waiting for Wright to get up, Richards charges and hits a quick clothesline. The CSIer then grabs Leon Rodez, pulling him up and sending him flying through the ropes, out to the floor and out of the way. Richards then goes back for Wright. But The Natural is waiting, picking Richards up into a fireman's carry. Turning around, Wright has something in mind. Something which is ruined by Peter Knight, diving forwards on one leg and clotheslining Wright, causing Wright in turn to Samoan Drop Richards! "PE - TER!" "PE - TER!" "PE - TER!" With the crowd rallying behind him, Knight pulls up Wright and hoists him up, onto his shoulders for The Knightmare...but Wright slides over the back! Quickly, he applies an inverted front facelock and falls back, dropping the X-Division Champion with an Inverted DDT. Applause from Bohemoth greets Wright, who sneers out at Jumbo. Who sneers back, as Jay Richards suddenly snatches Wright from behind, dropping HIM with an Inverted DDT of his own!! CABOOSE Man, Jay is just OWNING~! this match. Stumbling back to his feet, it's Richards' turn to go after the belt now, climbing the turnbuckles facing out to the crowd. As he reaches the top, the weary CSI member turns around so that he's facing the belt, making sure he's ready before jumping up and grabbing onto the cable. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE Here we go, Jay Richards looks like he's on his way here! CABOOSE And he's clear! Nothing's gonna stop him now! Richards shimmies across the wire, a lot less naturally than Rodez had done earlier. But nonetheless, he's making progress, no matter how slow it is. Beneath him, Christian Wright is getting to his feet and again scrambles to the corner, this time with a little more encouragement from the fans as he climbs the turnbuckles. Also to his feet is Peter Knight, standing underneath Richards and reaches up to try and grab his leg! Richards is just out of reach, so Knight limps over and grabs himself the steel chair, setting it up underneath Richards. Knight then climbs up on his good leg, now just about able to reach the toes of Richards' foot... ...but his arm gets kicked away! COLE This is desperation stuff now...Richards is close, but one false move and he'll be crashing to one hell of a fall. Richards kicks out again and catches Knight good this time, the Champion falling away, taking the steel chair with him. Once again, Richards seems in the clear now. But while Knight had held Richards up, Wright has taken advantage and is now right behind Richards on the cable! Both men hang precariously, as Wright closes in on Jay, hooking his arm over the cable and kicking Richards in the spine! Richards wobbles slightly, taking defensive action and hooking his legs around the cable as well. Looking more like animal than man, Richards hangs from the cable with all four limbs, as Wright is now unable to kick without swinging himself. CABOOSE This can't end well. COLE No kidding...it's nearly fifteen feet up there!! As Richards continues to hang, clearly going nowhere, Wright inches forward a little more, coming right up beside Richards. There's nothing the CSIer can do, as The Natural closes his eyes...AND HEADBUTTS RICHARDS!! COLE Oh man! Both men got knocked silly and wobble a little, gasps coming from the crowd as they watch this high-wire duel in anticipation of spottiness. Wright regains his bearings first and inches over again, this time grabbed the wire right in front of Richards' hands. And with another inch forwards, Wright is directly underneath Jay Richards! COLE Hey, wait a minute...Wright might go right past Richards here! And he's in a position to go forwards for the belt, unlike Richards! Wright hangs underneath Richards, with one arm either side of his torso clinging onto the cables. Not knowing what to do, Richards continues to cling onto the cable with all his life. Meanwhile, Wright inches forward again, again getting a little closer to the belt. Suddenly though, Richards starts to shuffle around on his hanging place, coming close to clipping Wright's arms off the cables as he does so. A panicky Wright notices this and tries to go forward again, but doesn't trust himself to be able to hang on for much longer. The crowd are on their feet now, expecting something big, as Wright suddenly fires his head sideways, glancing Richards' kidneys with another headbutt. The cable sags in the middle where Richards and Wright hang, as Wright for some reason inches back a little now. Jumbo and Bohemoth both watch on nervously, as Wright suddenly lets go of the cable, grabbing the hanging Richards in a waistlock!! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH..." A collective gasp goes up as Richards, with 233 pounds hanging off of him, desperatly continues to cling onto the cable... ...but his arms are shaking... ...his legs are slipping... ...and eventually, he's pulled off... ...INTO A FALLING GERMAN SUPLEX, OFF OF THE CABLE, RIGHT ON HIS HEAD!!!!!!!!! "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE GERMANSUPLEXOFFTHEXDAANGERRRROOUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSS~! The crowd come UN-GLUED~!, as Richards slowly slumps off of his shoulder and face-down on the mat. Wright is laid out too, as Peter Knight watches all this from a seated position in the corner in disbelief. "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" CABOOSE We're not being governed by censors, right? COLE No... CABOOSE ...okay then. HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!! COACH Nice. Both Jumbo and Bohemoth have rushed around to the corner of the ring where Wright and Richards' mangled bodies lay, leaning into the ring to check on their fallen charges. Both are motionless, as Peter Knight now limps back to his feet and tries to get his leg in motion. Across the ring from him, Leon Rodez is finally rolling back in, his back the cause of his concerns as he pulls himself up. With both men on their feet, the fans are once more buzzing with excitement, as the Champ sees the former champion and charges him. Rodez is waiting on it though, able to drop toe hold the one-legged Knight throat first across the middle rope. Bad back and all, Rodez then does teh dance~!, before hitting the ropes. Charging back, Rodez sprints at full speed towards Knight, driving all his body weight into the lower back! COACH CALL THAT BITCH BOJANGLES, BITCH~! Knight recoils, as Rodez drops to his knees to tend to his back. "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" The dueling chants go up again, as Knight gets to his feet and limps around. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOO!" ...and Rodez is waiting, levelling Knight with a hard knifedge chop. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOO!" ...and a second. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOO!" ...followed by a third, leaving the Champion gasping for breath. Rodez takes the opportunity to go downstairs, picking Knight's left leg while backheel tripping out the right to take the bigman to the canvas. Heaving Knight over, Rodez then turns him onto his front and steps over the leg, applying the Step Over...before wrapping his hands around Knight's head, hooking on a cravaté and completing the Chick Magnet (Hangman's Clutch)!! COLE Submission move applied, but it won't win Rodez the match. CABOOSE It'll mess Knight's knee up a little more though. Trapped in the hold, Knight knows there's no chance of losing on a submission and gives into his urge to tapout, hoping that's all Rodez is looking for. "YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" Knight continues to tap, as Rodez keeps the hold in for a few more seconds before finally releasing Knight. Mercy shown, Rodez goes back on the offense, dropping a leg across the back of Knight's head. Keeping an eye on the still grounded Wright and Richards, Rodez drops a second leg...ON THE MAT! Knight rolls out of the way, leaving Rodez to hold his tailbone and roll around in pain. Quickly as his ravaged body will allow, Knight now pulls himself up and hobbles over, grabbing Rodez's legs and stepping through. A cheer goes up from some sections, boos from others, as Knight turns over Rodez and elevates him into the Ace In The Hole!! COLE And now, it's Peter Knight with HIS signature submission hold applied!! Rodez instantly starts to give up, unable to actually tap out, with Knight hanging on defiantly for about the same period of time as Rodez held onto him, before finally letting him go. Slumping forward, Knight catches himself a breather while Rodez is left to writhe in pain some more. CABOOSE It looked like Wright and Richards had taken themselves out of this match...but now, Knight and Rodez are doing the same. Everybody's looking beat up right now. Knight adjusts his kneepad and twists his left leg around gingerly, trying to get some circulation going. He looks at Wright and Richards still barely moving in the corner and Rodez on his stomach before looking up at the title belt and nodding with a look of determination on his face. “YEAHHHHH!!” COLE Wright is down, Richards is down, Rodez is down. Right now is the best chance for Knight to retain his title! “P-K! P-K! P-K! P-K! P-K! P-K!” The pro-Knight Skydome crowd takes up the chant to rally their man as he slowly gets to his feet and limps towards the corner, leaning against the turnbuckles to get those last breaths before he makes the climb up the turnbuckles. He grabs the pole to brace himself as he stands on the top and grabs the cable right above his head. He takes one more deep breath before stepping away from the turnbuckles and making the trip to his belt, Bohemoth and Jumbo frantically yelling at their charges. COLE Peter Knight is mere feet away from retaining his title! CABOOSE Wait a minute Cole, looks like Christian is starting to realize what’s happening. COME ON!! Knight slowly goes hand over hand, making slow but steady progress as Wright uses the ropes to get himself vertical. He shakes the cobwebs out of his head and glances over to Bohemoth, finally understanding what he was pointing at. On spaghetti legs, he stumbles over and retrieves the steel chair still lying in the ring. COACH Uh oh, Christian’s got an idea. Wright walks over until he is right underneath Knight, who is completely focused on the belt and doesn’t even notice Wright until….. *SMACK* …..he feels the steel chair on his left knee. He struggles to maintain his grip and finally looks down to see Wright readying another swing. He swings his right leg, trying to at least kick the chair away, but Wright easily avoids the wild swings and…. *SMACK* ….delivers another shot. Leon Rodez begins crawling towards Wright as this time Knight loses his grip, swinging his legs in front of him instinctively to protect his knee……but he ends up leg dropping Rodez in the back of the head with his left leg, smashing his face into the mat!! “OHHHHHHHHHHHH!” COLE Holy lord. CABOOSE That’s called “Killing two birds with one steel chair” folks. Knight rolls around in pain on the mat as Wright drops the chair and immediately stumbles towards the corner, stepping through the ropes to the apron and heading up the turnbuckles. Jay Richards begins to finally get to his feet, aided by a cup of water in his face courtesy of Jumbo, who pleads for Jay to stop the Natural. Wright hops up and gets a good grip on the cable, starting his journey to the gold. Richards looks up groggily and sees Wright slowly inching his way across the cable. He crawls under the bottom rope to the apron himself, making his way on his knees around the corner. COLE What is Jay thinking? COACH I see another “Holy Shit!!” chant in our future. Wright continues going hand over hand, almost losing his grip but quickly recovering. CABOOSE Those cables have to be pretty slick with sweat by now, so you really have to concentrate to keep your balance. Richards keeps his eyes on Wright, grabbing the top rope and pulling himself to his feet. The crowd at Skydome rises as one again in anticipation of what Jay has up his sleeve. Wright, facing the other way, has no idea he is in danger, assuming the fans are rising to salute his impending victory. Jay takes a few deep breaths and measures Wright one last time. COLE No, don’t do it kid! Jay springboards off the top rope and leaps…… He hurtles himself towards Wright’s waist, and luckily for him the cable is sagging enough that Wright is hanging in a near perfect position…….. For Jay to wrap his arms around it……. Causing Wright to lose his grip and send them both down….. Down….. Down…… *CRASH* “OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” COACH Oh….my…god. COLE Jay Richards just speared Christian Wright almost 15 feet down to the canvas!!! “O-A-O!!!!!” “O-A-O!!!!!” “O-A-O!!!!!” “O-A-O!!!!!” “O-A-O!!!!!” “O-A-O!!!!!” The deafening chant from the fans is followed by a roar of approval for the effort these four men are making for the X-Title. CABOOSE Ok, I am now fearing for these guys’ lives. I hope that puissant 70’s Dude is watching right now, because THIS is how the X-Title should be treated. Wright lies prone on the canvas as Peter Knight, who is sitting in the opposite corner, mouth hanging wide open at what he just saw. Jay waves at Jumbo, who stoops down and throws up the ring curtain, reaching for something under the ring. He comes back up with a ladder!! He slides it into the ring for Jay, who props it up just off to the right of the belt. COLE Wait, Jay can’t use that to win the title! That’s one of the rules of this match. CABOOSE He’s just shortening the trip Cole. He begins to climb as a small “JAY!!” chant rises from a portion of the crowd. Jay points towards it in acknowledgement as he gets halfway up. Suddenly, Bohemoth slides into the ring and grabs Jay’s leg! “BOOOOOOOOO!!!!” COLE WAITAMINUTE!!! An enraged Jumbo rolls into the ring and flies at Bo, spearing him to the mat and firing off rights. The two big men roll around and brawl on the canvas, eventually rolling through the ropes and on to the entrance ramp. Jay continues to climb and reaches for the cable. CABOOSE COME ON JAY!!! We need a REAL X-Champion that I can be proud of! He gets a grip on it and lets go of the ladder, but suddenly Knight grabs it and slides it forward a bit, so that it blocks Jay’s path. Instinctively, Richards swings his legs up and wraps them around the cable, trying to put as much distance between him and the X-Champion. COLE Where has Leon Rodez gone during all this? Oh, there he is. Man, look at his face! That leg drop must have broken his nose. A trail of red comes from Rodez’ nostrils as he sees the situation in the ring. However, he also sees Christian Wright prone on the floor, having rolled out there after being speared. His head snaps back and forth, as if he’s debating what to do now. The fans around him at ringside frantically point at Knight and Richards and yell for Leon to do something, but his eyes shift to Wright as Rodez walks across the apron. COACH What is Leon doing? GO AFTER THE BELT!!! CABOOSE No, he wants to hurt Christian Wright. He won’t have an opportunity to do it after this match so he wants to get his shots in when he can in this match. Meanwhile, Knight climbs the ladder, facing towards the entrance, towards Jay Richards, who faces the opposite direction. Knight gets halfway up and reaches for Richards, but he is still too far away. He goes up a few more rungs as Rodez, a look of rage on his face, climbs the turnbuckles above Wright. COLE Whatever fans that weren’t standing here in Toronto sure are now. Knight nears the top of the ladder and grabs Richards’ tights, hitting him in the hip with right hands to get him loose as Rodez begins to steady himself on top. The camera goes wide to show both situations in the same shot along with the Skydome crowd, whose cameras are ready to go. Knight leans back on the ladder and manages to pull Richards’ legs down, reaching up and slugging him in the gut. Richards grunts in pain as he seems to start to lose his grip. Rodez stares at Wright, slowly looking up and raising his arms into the air. “YEAHHHHHHHH!!!” COLE Leon Rodez doesn’t care about anything else but what he’s about to do to Wright. Rodez leaps….. Richards hangs by his fingers, Knight hooking his tights and putting Richards’ legs on his shoulders……. Rodez makes one rotation, nearing the fallen Wright. Jay releases the cable and Knight pitches him forward, jumping off the ladder himself…… *SMACK* Rodez completes the 450 degree turn, driving his body weight onto Wright as…… *BOOM* Knight drives Richards on his back and neck with a sitout powerbomb. ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” ”HOLY SHIT!!!!” COLE I’m…….I’m speechless. Rodez rolls off Wright, grabbing his ribs in pain while Knight pushes an unconscious Richards away, grabbing his left knee. CABOOSE This is now a two-man match. You can consider Wright and Richards DONE! My enjoyment of this match has fallen sharply. Rodez, still grimacing, sits on one knee and looks up at the belt. He gets to his feet and climbs up onto the apron and then the turnbuckles. Knight, on the other side of the ring, goes over to the opposite corner, literally dragging his left leg behind him. Rodez reaches up and leaps to get a grip on the cable, which sways a bit as he does, forcing him to steady himself first before starting the journey. This allows Knight, who is also on a second wind, to climb the opposite corner and grab the opposite side of the strand Rodez is on. COACH Oh, I hope that thing can take the weight. COLE This is it, ladies and gentlemen! It is a race for the belt, pure and simple. Both men go hand over hand across the cable as fast as their tired arms can go. The cable starts to sag the closer the two men get to each other, the X-Title belt bouncing along with the shaking. COLE All right guys, call it right now. Who is winning this match? COACH I’m pulling for my boy Leon. CABOOSE Oh, I don’t care……..Knight. Rodez is a few inches closer than Knight, but his hand slips off the cable as he grasps it causing to briefly hang by one arm and allowing Knight to catch up as Rodez steadies himself. COLE Both men are so damn close to the belt that they can probably touch it. "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" "LE - ON!" "PE - TER!" Knight hangs by one arm and swipes at the belt, just getting a piece of it. The belt swings towards Rodez and he tries to grab it, but it slips right past his reach, settling back into its original position. COACH Oooh, so close. Knight hangs by both hands again and swings his legs up, trying to push Rodez off with his feet, but Leon hangs on. Rodez swings HIS legs up and kicks at Knight, but Peter also hangs on. Knight swings his legs up again and kicks at Rodez’ nose, but that doesn’t do the trick. Rodez kicks downwards at Knight’s knee, causing him to groan in pain, but he hangs on as well. *BAM* Knight boots the nose again…… *SMACK* Rodez kicks the knee….. *BAM* Knight……. *SMACK* Rodez……. *BAM* Knight……. *BAM* Knight again. Rodez teeters….. *BAM* Knight once more……. *SLAM* And Rodez falls off, crashing to the mat!! “YEAHHHHHHBOOOOOOOO!!!” COLE Leon Rodez is down!!! Knight is there all alone!!! The Rodez fans try to drown out the Knight fans as PK inches closer to the belt…..reaching out and……. ….SNATCHING IT!! “YEAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” *DING DING* COLE IT’S OVER!!!! PETER KNIGHT RETAINS!!!! Oh Hell Yeah kicks up as Peter Knight hangs on one arm, kissing the belt. BUFFER (trying to be heard over the crowd) Llllladies and gentlemen, the winner of the Ultimate X Match and STILL The One and Only Anglesault Thread X-Division Champion of the WOOOOOORLD…..PETERRRRRRRRR KNIIIIIIIIIIIGHTTT!! Knight waves at the referees to bring him the ladder so he can get down as EMTs check on the three fallen challengers. Knight descends a few rungs and holds the title high for all to see, flashbulbs popping everywhere. COLE What a match. That’s all I can say. What…a…match. The crowd remains standing, every fan in the building applauding the effort of everyone involved as Knight hops off the ladder, immediately hobbling on his good leg and falling into the ropes to brace himself. He puts the belt on his shoulder as a pair of officials helps him through the ropes and up the entrance ramp.

COACH It's time for a match that could well decide the futures of the two men involved. It's Black-Zack II, and this time it's no DQ, Falls Count Anywhere. The first time these guys locked up we saw an all out wrestling clinic, both giving their all for the 1 - 2 - 3. But this time I think we're going to get something very different. COLE That's right J.C., this time it's even more personal than before.Dan Black has decided the only way to restore order and balance to the OAOAST is for himself to take control. He wants to be The Man, the Franchise. When you think of the OAOAST, you think of Zack Malibu. Black wants his name in Zack's place. To do that, he can't just beat Zack. He's going to have to end his career. CABOOSE Dan's putting a hell of a lot on the line here. Zack is no stranger to these kind of wild matches. There's a good chance it could be Black's career that's destroyed here tonight. COLE There's a lot of gimmick matches in this business that are put over as being dangerous. Hell In A Cell, Elimination Chamber, Judy Bagwell On A Pole. But in reality there's nothing quite as dangerous as simply two men with no rules, no limits and a lot of hate. Let's take it to the ring. Cue: "Quiet", Smashing Pumpkins. BUFFER The following contest is the Falls Count Anywhere match! Introducing first, from London, England, weighing 234lbs, he is a 3 time former tag team champion, along with multiple singles honors. An OAOAST veteran and one of the finest technical wrestlers in the world today. Ladies and Gentlemen, "the Ice Heart" Dan BLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLACK! Black appears under the AngleTron. He has dispensed with his usual entrance attire and is ready to go in short tights, one leg white, the other black, long black boots and black elbow pads. He smoothes back his finely cut dark hair as he struts confidently down to the ring. A fan waving a "Franchise Me Zack!" sign gets an especially dark glare from Dan, but he resists wasting energy tearing it up. The fans, who have recently been somewhat warming to Black, are back in full hostility mode. Cue: " Getting Away With Murder" BUFFER Aaaaad his opponent! From Los Angeles, Califronia, weighing 195lbs, he is the former two time OAOAST WORLD! CHAMPION! The Franchise, the Legend, a true OAOAST Original, the man who takes vitamins O, A, O again, A again, S and T - Zack MALIBUUUUUUUUUU! Malbu springs out to a huge ovation! He raises his hands in salute and then turns his attention to the ring. Clad in, Zack walks quickly down to the ring, sliding in and into a crouch, eyes fixed on Dan, who paces back and forth, returning his gaze. Our referee for this contest, Nick Patrick, stands between the two with arms outstretched, looking from one to the other. The Buff-meister exits the ring in his usual smooth style, and Patrick gestures the two men to come to him. Dan and Zack walk over slowly, and suddenly are chest to chest, eye ball to eye ball, muttering curses at each other. Patrick stands a pace back and feels fortunate that there are not really any rules he needs to explain, nor checks for foreign objects. He turns and signals to the ringside bellkeeper. *DING DING* The two combatants remain head to head. A thin smirk comes over the face of Dan, who steps back and just spits directly into Malbiu's face. A disgusted "Ohhhhh!" comes from the crowd, which turns to a loud cheer as Zack reacts instantly, spearing Black down to the mat and hammering at him wildly! Dan covers up, but Malibu's blows are fiercely powerful, and Black takes some stiff punches. Black tries to fight back and lands a hard punch on Zack's jaw. The fans are wincing at the brutality of the strikes. Dan lands another vicious punch that stuns Zack enough for Black to shove him off of him. Black rises and grabs Zack by the throat as he gets to one knee, just trying to choke the life out of him! Nick Patrick can only watch uncomfortably as Dan squeezes with both hands around Malbu's neck. Zack's face grows red, but with an effort he rises and drives a knee into Black's gut, rushing all the air from his lungs and breaking the choke. COLE Oh my...this is just a fight! Those punches are horrible! CABOOSE Nothing being pulled here, folks. Both Dan and Zack are gasping for air. Dan rests against the ropes, but suddenly charges at Zack, who ducks his badly aimed lariat. Black spins around and eats a couple of right hands, then a left. Zack kicks him in the midsection again, doubling Dan over, and then runs the ropes and delivers a vicious Yakuza kick right to the side of Black's exposed head! Dan goes down hard, as Malibu pumps up the crowd with a yell of triumph, before stomping away on Black! COACH Ow! CABOOSE That's your insightful commentary? "Ow!"? COACH I don't have to take this, you know. You guys need to watch your backs. Dan tries to roll out under the bottom rope, but Zack grabs him by the hair and hauls him back. Malibu stings Dan with a headbutt, who fires back with a punch. Zack takes a hold of Dan and runs him over to the corner, slamming his face hard into the top turnbuckle. He repeats that in the opposite corner, and then slides Dan's face up and down the top rope, raking his eyes with the cable! COLE That's one of Tony Brannigan's signature manoeuvres! How insulting! Black tries to struggle away from Zack, clutching his eyes, but Zack again catches him and ties his left arm up using the top and middle ropes! Dan's eyes go wide, knowing that if Zack can trap him he'll be helpless, and as Malibu goes to tie up the right arm Black pokes him in the eye! As Zack turns away, Dan quickly prises his left arm free and fells him with a lariat to the back of his head. Black quickly runs the ropes and delivers a low dropkick to the Malibu's head. He then rolls Zack onto his back and plants his boot on Malibu's chest while raising two fingers in the Victory sign. Nick Patrick counts: ONE! Zack throws up a shoulder and shoves Black's boot away. Dan slugs him around the ear as he gets to his feet, and then grabs a front face lock, but Malibu just fights him off with punches. COLE We've still not seen any real wrestling moves in this match. Perhaps as we get further in Black and Zack will fall back on what they know best, but right now it's just a brawl. Black didn't even get chance to try to suplex Zack there. The two men are exchanging punches once more, and blood is starting to trickle from Dan's nose. Malibu gains the upperhand and whips Black off the ropes, catching him with a high knee on his return and then dropping another knee right into Dan's face. Malibu brings Dan up and whips him off the ropes again, going for an Out of Body Experince spinebuster~!, but Dan manages to push off of Zack as he whirls him round and land on the mat. Malibu sprints in but Black ducks his punch and takes Malibu by surprise with a leaping European Uppercut that snaps Zack's head back. Dan snapmares Malibu over onto his behind and then quickly lands a sharp kick right between his shoulder blades. The impact echoes through the arena, and with a twisted grin on his face Black steps back and delivers one, two, three more kicks in quick succession. Zack grimaces but doesn't give Dan the satisfaction of a shout of pain. Black runs the ropes and tries to dropkick the back of Zack's head, but he rolls aside and Dan lands on the mat. Zack jumps over and locks on Dan's Heart of Ice crossface! COLE Zack using Tony Brannigan's holds and now starting on Dan's! Does he really need to annoy Black? He's mad enough already! CABOOSE I don't think is really any kind of game plan. I think Zack's just got to the stage where he wants to hurt and humiliate Black as much as he can. I mean, Zack's tried to unite the OAOAST veterans against the threat of GPX and Drek Stone, but all Dan can do is keep gloating about how he broke Candie's neck all those months ago. Black quickly escapes the hold, forcing himself up to one knee and then slipping back out of Zack's clutches and trying to apply his own crossface, but Zack rolls forward and away before he can lock it on. Both men up and re-engage with more hard punches. Zack backs Black into the ropes and then sends him out over the top with a clothesline! Malibu looks down and runs to the ropes, sending himself flying towards Dan! Zack leaps out over the top rope like a torpedo, crashing into Black and propelling him hard into the guard rail! The fans erupt for this high risk move, as Dan clutches at his back and Zack rolls aside, trying to clear his head after the impact. Malibu is up first and, grabbing Dan up, slams his head into the ring apron. With Dan's groggy head still on the apron, Zack shoves a ringside official off his chair and grabs it. He raises the steel seating utensil to a cheer, and then swings at Dan's head! Black leaps away at the last moment, and chair crashes into the apron loudly. With a gleam in his eyes, Zack swings at Dan, who ducks. Malibu swings again, Dan ducks again, and this time Malibu's swing connects with the ringpost! The reverberation shakes the chair out of Zack's hands. COACH Zack's just trying to crush Dan's skull with that chair! Those blows weren't pulled at all! Malibu wrings his hands out, as Dan moves over and kicks him in the stomach. Black then picks up the chair and slams it down hard onto Zack's exposed back! Zack slumps forward and rests on the apron, and Dan grins, swinging the chair down at his head just like Malibu tried to do to him, but, like Dan, Zack is able to dodge and the chair only hits the apron. Black drops the chair and whips Zack into the guardrail, but Zack jumps up onto the rail instead! Dan watches open mouthed as Zack moonsaults back off the guardrail, sailing through the air and knocking him to the floor once more! COLE What athleticism from Zack Malibu! He really caught Dan by surprise there. CABOOSE I don't think there's anything either of these men won't risk to gain an edge. Zack rolls Dan back into the ring, perhaps wholly on instinct, but doesn't cover. Instead he brings Black up, applies a front facelock and lifts the stunned Dan up, dropping him onto the top turnbuckle. Malibu follows him up, looking for a superplex perhaps, but Black fights back with a couple of forearm shots and the shoves Zack back down. Malibu climbs right back up and applies a facelock, but Black headbutts him twice and then applies his own facelock! Dan stands up on the top rope, drawing Zack up to, and tries to superplex Malibu right out of the ring to the floor! The crowd buzzes with extreme nervousness as the two men balance precariously. Black tries to haul Zack up, but Malibu counters his grip and lifts Dan up and drops him down to the floor! Dan hits the mats hard face first as the crowd gasps! COLE Oh my God! Zack just dropped Black all the way to the floor! But The Franchise isn't finished. Dan rolls away and over onto his back, clutching his stomach, and Zack, still on the top rope, looks down at him, before leaping off and FROG SPLASHING Dan on the floor! Black goes into convulsions, while Zack rolls away holding his midsection and screwing up his face in pain. COLE OH MY GOD! There's got to be some broken ribs out there right now! CABOOSE Well this didn't waste any time in getting wild, and why should it. There's no limits being applied in this match. Zack drags himself towards Dan, and goes to hook a leg, but then shakes his head. "It's not over", he tells the fans with a grim smile. Malibu picks Black up and goes to whip him into the ring steps, but Dan, with a burst of adrenaline, manages to jump over them! He comes down still holding his stomach, and is distracted long enough for Zack to run up and use the steps to deliver a running shining enziguiri kick to the back of his head! Dan's eyes roll and he falls forward, face first onto the ring steps! COACH Black is just taking a huge beating here. He's got to try and get some offence together. CABOOSE I think Zack should pin him now. He's got the upperhand, he's hurt Dan badly - he shouldn't let a desire for even more punishment give Black a chance to get back into the match. But Malibu does demand more punishment for Dan. He's standing on the ringsteps and trying to piledrive Black onto them, but Zack has trouble dragging an extremely groggy and rubberlegged Dan into position. At last he gets him in a headscissors, but Dan holds onto Zack's trunks and won't be lifted up. Malibu pulls harder, unbalancing himself, and Black is able to backdrop Zack off the steps to the floor! Dan then rolls back into the ring, breathing heavily, and scuttles all the way across to the opposite side, desperate for some recovery time. Zack picks himself up and slides back into the ring to encouraging cheers from the fans. A "MA-LI-BU! MA-LI-BU!" chants starts up as Zack advances on Dan, who shakes his head, holding up his hands for mercy. As Malibu grabs him, however, Dan connects with a well aimed, if entirely predictable, low blow. Black springs up, grabs the stunned Zack and dunks him on his head with a nasty wrist clutch expolder suplex. Black doesn't seem interested in a cover yet either. He brings Zack straight back up and locks on a full nelson, looking for a Dragon suplex this time, but Malibu blocks by grabbing his own leg and dragging Dan's arms down. Zack spins around and clocks Dan with a fierce punch, then a trio of kicks to Dan's damaged midsection. Black winces and backs off, but Zack whips him to the ropes. As Dan rebounds, Zack connects with a flying forearm straight to the jaw. COLE The advantage is quickly switching here. I honestly can't call a winner at this point. Zack might be most people's pick, but there's a desperation to Dan tonight. He's going to do whatever it takes. CABOOSE But so is Zack. I think he's going to come out of this on top. He's just that slight extra level better than Dan. It's a tiny difference, but it's vital. Malibu picks Dan up and tries to suplex him, but Black raises a knee and kicks Zack in the head as he's hoisted up! Zack drops back and Dan quickly hits him with a swinging neckbreaker. COACH Dan just dropped Zack on his neck with the wrist clutch, so perhaps he'll now try and pick apart the neck. CABOOSE This isn't usually the environment for "target a body part" - but Black's ultimate aim is the destruction of Zack's career. A crippled neck will certainly do that. Black brings Zack up with his head in a cravat hold, torquing the neck, and then rams his knee into Malibu's face twice. Dan lifts Zack up and hits him with a brainbuster, dropping all Zack's weight onto his head and neck. Black scoops Malibu straight back up once more, takes him to the ropes and tries to lock Zack's head between the top and middle ropes! Nick Patrick protests, but Dan just shoves him away! Black twists the ropes around Malibu's neck, leaving him gasping for air! Dan quickly drops to the floor, grabbing up the chair from earlier, pretends to hit Michael Cole with it - COLE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! - but then swings at Zack's trapped head! Malibu leaps backwards, the chair hits the ropes and bounces back into Dan's face! COLE -EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! CABOOSE IT'S OK! HE'S NOT GOING TO HURT YOU! But I will if you don't SHUT UP! COLE -EEEEEEEEEEEEEE- wow, Dan took that chair right in the mush! Zack must not have been as properly trapped as Black thought! Dan is crouched on the floor, arm on the ring apron, clutching his face. Malibu, rubbing his throat, leans through the ropes and grabs him by the ears, dragging him up onto the apron. Zack steps out too, and kicks Dan in the gut before applying a standing headscissors. Malibu then gestures to the floor! COACH Is he going to piledrive Black off the apron - onto the floor?! Zack does indeed try, but Black grabs the middle rope to block it, and uses the spring of the ropes to flip his feet back onto the apron. He gets his head free and drives his shoulder into Malibu's stomach, then hoists the winded Zack onto his shoulders. Dan jumps and drops Zack head first onto the apron with a Death Valley Driver! Malibu and Black both fall to the floor, as the crowd groans in sympathy after the sick sound of Zack's skull being driven into the apron! COLE MY GOD! DAN BLACK COULD HAVE JUST BROKEN THE NECK OF ZACK MALIBU! Zack flops off the apron, landing with a THUD! on the floor, while Black stands on the apron, leaning against the ropes for support. Seeing his foe in an extremely wounded state, Black starts to ascend the turnbuckles, climbing up to the top rope and raising his right arm up into the air before leaping downward, taking that right arm and driving an elbowsmash into the sternum of Zack Malibu! CABOOSE These guys are killing themselves to kill each other! Malibu absorbs the impact of the blow, but Black rolls away in pain too, as his tailbone hates him for landing so hard on the ringside floor. His balance hobbled slightly, Black gets up with some help from the apron, then pulls Zack to his feet and slams his face into the Sofa Central commentary table, then throws him up onto the table, hammering on the Preppy One repeatedly with vicious right hands and the finding a microphone cable and wrapping it around Zack's throat, trying to choke him into submission. "THIS is your hero? THIS is who you passed the torch to? Dan hollers at Caboose, who can only look at one of his friend's being maimed right in front of him. "Tonight, the torch is passed to ME!" CABOOSE The hell it will be! C'mon Zack! Black drags Malibu off the table, still choking him, but in a last minute effort to saver himself, Malibu jumps up and kicks off the side of the table, sending Dan stumbling backwards and cracking his lower back against the ring apron! Black's hold is released, and Malibu quickly crawls on all fours and sucks in all the air around him, then takes the mic chord into his own hands and wraps it around Dan's throat, falling to one knee so that the pressure is on Dan's windpipe! COLE The hostility is apparent, their persistence is expected, but Dan Black has to realize that no matter how vicious an act, Zack Malibu is going to come right at him with equal amounts of force. Black squirms, trying to pry the chord off his throat, but can't. Instead, he swings to the side, ramming elbows into Zack's bruised ribs and forcing a break. Malibu staggers back as Dan tears the chord away from his throat, and seeing an opening, drives forward with SCHOOL'S OUT...but Dan catches the foot, and in one fluid motion swings Zack around, right into a rear waistlock...AND HITS A RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX THROUGH THE COMMENTARY TABLE! COLE HEADS UP! COACH YO~! CABOOSE Dammit, now my pretzel is on the floor. COLE Nevermind the pretzel! Zack just got put through our commentary setup! "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" "HOLY SHIT!" The requisite chant comes up from the crowd, as Dan Black slowly picks himself up. Referee Patrick and our three commentators all circle Zack's body, checking for signs of life. Black, meanwhile, pulls one of the monitors up from the table shrapnel and raises it above his head, holding it with both hands...THEN THROWS IT DOWN ONTO ZACK'S RIBCAGE! Zack bellows out a loud cough as the air is driven from him, and Black immediately dives down for a cover, ordering Patrick to hurry it up! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! COLE Zack Malibu rolls a shoulder right in front of our very eyes! CABOOSE C'mon Black, you know it's not over this easily! Black, hearing Caboose's commentary (seeing as how they're all of six inches from each other now) stands up and approaches Caboose. "You know something, you were a better wrestler than you are a commentator, and that's still not saying much." Caboose, incensed at Black's brash attitude, looks like he's about to pounce, but remains calm. COLE Caboose, easy there big guy. Black smirks, then turns his attention back to the fallen Malibu. He pulls Zack up, but Zack can barely stand, and falls down to one knee. Black snickers, and pulls Zack up again, then boots him in the ribs and goes for the BLACKOUT~!...BUT MALIBU LIFTS HIM OFF HIS FEET AND DROPS HIM CROTCH FIRST ON THE GUARDRAIL! COLE OH! CABOOSE You have the balls to say something to me now, Dan? "Ahhhh...unhhhhhh." CABOOSE Didn't think so. Malibu crawls through the shrapnel, then reaches up, using the guardrail to pull himself up to his feet. Breathing heavily, Zack takes a moment to regain his senses, then leaps up onto the guardrail and balances himself, then walks in like a tightrope before jumping up onto his rival's shoulders and snapping Black to the floor with a huracanrana! COLE Amazing agility from The Franchise! His energy slowly returning, Zack gets up immediately, and takes the weary Black and sends him into the apron, smashing Black's back against it once again. Malibu follows up with a hard lariat, sandwiching Black against the apron and then taking him and rolling him into the ring. Nick Patrick immediately enters the ring from the side, making sure he's in position for any falls that take place. Zack climbs up onto the apron slowly, then positions himself as he waits on Black to get up. Dan starts to come to his feet, and Malibu quickly jumps up and springboards off the top rope, onto his shoulders for another...SHORT POWERBOMB BY DAN BLACK! COACH He went to the well once too often! CABOOSE ... COACH What, I can't watch some Gordon Solie tapes? Black immediately hooks a leg, as Patrick comes down to count. ONE! TWO! TH-NO! Black pounds the mat in frustration, quickly bringing Zack up to his feet and whipping him to the corner, where Zack does a FLAIR FLIP~! out to the apron! Black immediately tries to lariat him off the apron, but Zack ducks it and shoots through the ropes, catching Black with a shoulderblock, then slingshots himself in so that he lands with a standing headscissors on Black, pulling him up...but Black falls back to his feet and backdrops Zack over! Black reaches down into his boot, pulling out a length of chain, and begins wrapping it around his fist, gleefully smirking as he turns around to nail Zack with the fatal punch...but Malibu ducks the shot...SCHOOL'S OUT~! Dan takes the superkick right on the jaw and falls back towards the ropes...AND GETS HIS ARMS TANGLED IN THE ROPES~! COACH He's trapped! CABOOSE Nowhere to run now, Black! Show him how it's done, Zacky! Zack comes over and rips the chain out from Black's hand, while the stunned Ice Heart tries to protest. Zack wraps the chain around his fist, and Dan weakly tries to kick to force him away, but Zack comes forward, taking his metal wrapped fist and pounding repeatedly and rapidly on the forehead of Dan Black! It's not long before the blood starts pouring out, the skin on his forehead being torn open with each and every shot. Zack pulls away to look at the damage he's done, and Black's eyes are half-shut, his face caked in blood...which he then spits at Malibu! COLE Now that's just sick. Malibu catches some of the plasma on his cheek, and immediately runs and delivers a soccer kick to Dan's nether region to return the favor! With Black trapped in the ropes, Malibu rolls out of the ring and grabs the steel chair off the ringside floor, sliding it into the ring before following behind it and scooping it up off the mat. COACH I'm no math major, but I think Zack + Chair = Trouble for Mr. Black! Malibu raises the chair above his head, and a weary Black desperately tries to wriggle himself free. Patrick stands by, unable to do anything due to the "no rules" policy of the contest, and cringes as Zack brings the chair down... CRACK! ...and across the top of Dan Black's head! Black's head drops low, as Zack brings the chair up over his head... CRACK! ...and nails him AGAIN with a vicious chairshot! COLE You want to talk about Blackout's, I think we've got a Black out right now! COACH That wasn't even funny to ME. You're lame, Mikey. Zack backs up, ready for a third shot, but all of a sudden the crowd starts buzzing, as the cameras cut to the aisleway, catching Scotty Static and Johnny Jax sprinting down the aisleway! COLE The GPX are headed to the ring! CABOOSE This has to be why Black was talking to them before! The GPX hit the ring, but Malibu fires off a quick chairshot that stuns Static and sends him rolling back out to the floor! He tries to hit Jax, who ducks the shot and runs the ropes, but Zack swings around, nailing him across the forehead on the rebound! COLE Zack Malibu has cleared out the GPX, and...oh man, here we go now! Cole is referring to the person that has caught Zack's attention...DREK STONE! Stone starts walking down the aisle, sneering at the man he has focused on in recent weeks. Stone continues with the slow pace, moving towards ringside while keeping Zack's attention, while Scotty Static has gone and untied Dan Black from the ropes. CABOOSE It's four on one odds now! Stone finally makes it to ringside, circling like a vulture, causing Zack to lose focus...and get jumped from behind by Johnny Jax! Zack drops the chair as he's clubbed between the shoulder blades, then spun around and lifted for a vertical suplex, but as Zack falls back Static comes and hooks his legs, resting them on his shoulders...and the GPX drop Zack with a combination neckbreaker/powerbomb manuever! Static then drags Dan Black over to Zack and lays him across The Franchise, while the Drek Stone looks on approvingly from ringside! ONE! TWO! THREE...NO! KICKOUT BY ZACK! COLE That persistence is shining through! Zack won't be denied tonight! Thinking on their feet, the GPX roll Black off of Zack and start stomping away at the fallen Franchise. Jax then motions for Static to go up top, as he pulls Zack up and stands behind him. Jax hooks an arm and lifts Zack pumphandle style, going for the Beat Drop...but Zack slides out behind his back and shoves Jax into the turnbuckles, crotching Static in the process! Malibu nearly loses his balance, but pushes up to his feet and as Jax turns around, he gets cracked with a SCHOOL'S OUT that sends him through the ropes and to the floor! Drek Stone jumps out of the way, nearly getting clipped by his ally, as Zack then runs to the ropes and springboards off the top, twisting his body to deliver an enzugiri kick to Static that causes him to take a somersault bump down to the ringside floor! CABOOSE Thatta boy, Zackary! Malibu gets up, wiping the blood from his forehead, turning to Dan Black, who delivers a quick kick to the gut and crunches Zack's neck over his shoulder with the BLACKOUT~! COLE No! Dammit! ONE! TWO! THR-NO! NO! KICKOUT! KICKOUT! COLE Just a two count! Black didn't get him! Frustrated, a bloody Black pulls Zack up off the canvas, holding his face close and trash talking him before kicking him in the gut again and delivering another...NO! Zack shoves him towards the ropes and catches him coming off with an inverted atomic drop, then tries a School's Out...CAUGHT! Black swings him around and kicks him in the gut again, and drops Zack with SECOND Blackout! COACH Zack and Candie are gonna have matching neckbraces after tonight! ONE! TWO! THREE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Patrick leaps to his feet, waving only two fingers in the air, much to the delight of the crowd! Drek Stone slaps the apron in disgust, and Dan Black does the same to the canvas, as Zack Malibu will not stay down! COLE He's taken out the GPX, he's beaten Dan Black to a bloody pulp, and he's absorbed all sorts of punishment. What else needs to be done for Zack Malibu to gain a victory? Black gets up and looks over to Stone, who nods his head. Black nods back in agreement, and pulls Zack up, again delivering a kick to the stomach...but this time, when Zack keels over, he's not prone to a Blackout...he's pulled down to the canvas and locked in the Heart of Ice! CABOOSE He psyched him out! COLE That's...that's a good move, actually! Black wrenches back on the weakened neck of Malibu, while Zack howls in pain, blood oozing from his forehead and dripping onto Dan's hands. Drek Stone stands ringside, shouting in Zack's face as he struggles for the ropes instinctively, not realizing that in this atmosphere, there are no ropebreaks! Zack continues to struggle, trying to power up, but when he does Black slams a forearm across his neck and forces him back down to the canvas, reapplying the hold! Zack again grunts in pain, as Patrick watches on, trying to see if Malibu is going to give in. Stone continues to taunt Malibu from ringside, as Zack tries to fight through the pain surging through his neck. Black wrenches back hard, putting as much strain on the prep as he can, but Zack channels his adrenaline and powers up, forcing Black to come up with him...and pulls Dan up onto his shoulders! Unable to keep Dan held up for long, Zack staggers near the corner and rams Black's neck into the turnbuckles, then throws him off his shoulders so that he comes down throat first on the top rope and slingshots backwards, landing flat on his face! COLE How much more can these two take? CABOOSE As much as they have to when company pride is at stake. Zack rests in the corner, holding his neck, while Black is barely moving, only slightly trying to get up. Zack comes out of the corner and pulls him up, driving knees repeatedly into his ribs to double him over, then hooks him in a front facelock...but Black counters by cradling Zack in a small package! ONE! TWO! NO! Zack rolls to his feet, pulling Black up with him, and quickly delivers the POP DROP~! to Dan Black! ONE! TWO! THR-NO! KICKOUT BY BLACK! COACH I've got a bad feeling about how this one will need to end. Not wanting to lose his momentum, Zack pulls Dan up and delivers another knee to the bread basket, then runs the ropes, going for the ZACK ATTACK~!...but Black pops up with a desperation lariat that knocks Zack out of mid-air! Zack rolls away from Black and away from a pin attempt, while Dan slowly pushes himself up to his feet. Zack gets up and runs at the recovering Original with a YAKUZA KICK~!, but Dan Black ducks and runs the ropes, delivering a YAKUZA KICK~! of his own, but Malibu ducks that! Black bounces off the ropes and runs at Malibu, whose back is turned...and delivers a Yakuza Kick to the back of his head, staggering Zack, then runs the ropes to deliver a normal Yakuza Kick...but Zack busts out the MATRIX DUCK~!, coming back up and getting spun around into a BLACK...NO! Black gets pushed away...SCHOOL'S OUT...NO! CAUGHT! Zack gets swung around, but once he's facing Black again, he grabs him quickly and drops him across his knee with a Rock Bottom Backbreaker! With Black down, Zack goes up to the top, climbing the ropes slowly, as he sees Stone moving near where he is. Malibu perches himself up on top, but Stone makes like he's getting up on the apron, which draws Malibu's attention his way. Stone hops back down, smirking, and telling the GPX to stay back, as Malibu contemplates what to do... ...AND GETS PLASTERED IN THE HEAD WITH A CHAIRSHOT FROM DAN BLACK! COLE Again, Drek Stone and the GPX help change the tide of this contest! Zack winds up losing his balance and crotching himself, while Black slowly climbs the ropes. He turns so that his back is to Zack, then reaches back and wraps an arm around his head... ...AND ZACK MALIBU TAKES A BLACKOUT FROM THE TOP ROPE! COLE OH MY GOD! CABOOSE Thank you, Joey Styles. Both men are down on the canvas, but Black quickly rolls Zack onto his back and hooks a leg, calling for Patrick to make the count. ONE! TWO! THREE! DING! DING! DING! COLE Dammit...we're never gonna hear the end of this now! "Quiet" comes up, but before Buffer can announce Black as the winner, and before Patrick can raise Black's hand, Drek Stone and the GPX hit the ring...AND ATTACK BOTH MEN!? COACH Huh? CABOOSE What the hell is this? Black isn't standing for long, as Stone nails him from behind, then throws him in the corner and starts stomping him down, then choking him out with his boot. Meanwhile, both members of the GPX are working Zack over, pulling him to his feet and knocking him out with a double superkick! COLE I don't...I thought Dan Black had an arrangement with these three? CABOOSE Apparently that deal is null and void! Jax drags Zack by the ropes, and much like earlier, tells Scotty to go up to the top. Facing the crowd, Static heads up and laughs, then leaps into action and delivers the STATIC SHOCK to a fallen Malibu, crashing down onto Zack's injured ribs! COLE This is too much to handle! These guys are doing a hell of a job at turning this company against them! Stone takes a bloody and beaten Black out of the corner, holding him by the hair and looking into his eyes, shaking his head "no" about something...then takes Dan Black and plants him with a Stonecutter! The two Originals are laid out on the blood stained canvas, and now the GPX take the injured Malibu and pull him up to his knees, each one holding an arm for Drek Stone to take an easy shot. COLE This is what it's about! The feud between these two men has been brewing for a while, and Drek Stone wants to put Zack out! Stone comes closer, looking down at Zack, who can't even open his eyes. Stone crouches down so he's at eye level with Zack, grabbing his jaw and holidng his head still, then tells him... "I'm not ready for you yet." Stone then pushes Zack away out of disgust and orders the GPX to drop him and leave him be. Even Scotty and Johnny are a bit puzzled by this, but do as their cohort says, and the three exit the ring. COLE This is a twist if there ever was one. Drek Stone and the GPX have claimed that this company is there's for the taking, and tonight, they've proven to be a credible threat by taking out two of its veteran stars! CABOOSE There's a storm brewing, Cole. I hope those boys are prepared for the rough weather as much as they are for causing it! Both Black and Zack are laid out on the canvas, and a horde of OAOAST staff comes down the aisle to check on them, while Stone and the GPX take a look back at the damage they caused, smiling to themselves, while we cut away.
